As a motorcyclist I hear you and wholeheartedly agree with you!

The motorcycling community has this stupid mantra "loud pipes save lives." There's only one problem: it isn't true. There is no compelling evidence backing up that claim. They then use it as an excuse to get the most obnoxiously loud pipes they can - often illegally modifying them to remove baffles so they can be even louder! I have no idea why this isn't being policed as it's easy to do.

Their bikes are so damned loud I can't even ride alongside of them. The one thing that gives me a smile is I know in 20-30 years they are going to have one helluva case of tinnitus. Yeah, payback really is a bitch!
HSV-1 (cold sores) might be the ultimate example of success, it manages to spread essentially invisibly.
Geesh, glad they're trying to save the company by firing people. Lord knows they wouldn't survive otherwise. They gotta tighten their belts in this profit drought!

I mean, uh, actually they're just trying to save money by competing with their workforce instead of making their products better, am I getting that right?
Some car users even do special modifications for "rolling coal", so that they can intoxicate other people with fumes.
Those are Multibus-1 prototyping boards, so they'd be 12"x6.75". It's a good size for building non-trivial things.
I wonder how the "Tesla Bot" would compete if ever finished. In theory Tesla has an advantage in both Ai and especially manufacturing.
Exactly. I think it also teaches people to trust all kinds of obscure domains instead of trusting only well known ones. It might be even easier to write the little bit longer domain as you don't have to double check correct spelling. Browser will likely fill it in anyway. I just don't see any real benefit.
Hetzner is a EU business which only recently started the US expansion.

I am pretty sure Martin Hetzner lives in Germany.

This makes the jail option very unlikely.
Part of the problem is that the output of commands is both a UI and an API, and because any text UI can be used as an API, the human readable text gets priority. Shell scripting is therefore kind of like building third party browser extensions. You look and you guess, and then you hack some parser up based on your guess, and hope for the best.

I actually wish there was just a third standard output for machine readable content, which your terminal doesn’t print by default. When you pipe, this output is what gets piped (unless you redirect), it’s expected to be jsonl, and the man page is expected to specify a contract. Then stdout can be for humans, and while you can parse it, you know what you’re doing is fragile.

Of course, that’s totally backwards incompatible, and as long as we’re unrealistically reinventing CLIs from the foundations to modernize them, I have a long list of changes I’d make.
Good point. This reminds me of the Linux (Unix?) "file" program, and whichever hero(es) maintain it.

> McDonald's and the rest provide very low wage jobs to locals

They don't provide lower wages than independent shops for similar positions, it's all above board, and they are happy to hire students. I am not convince that they price competitors out, either.

The industry is hard and opening a restaurant or coffeeshop is very hard. I think the thing is that the like of McDonald's and Costa are expert and know how it works, while the person who "always dreamed of opening their own coffeeshop" might not be realistic about what's required.

Also, these days people work far away for customers that are possibly all over the world. They use their money to buy products that come from all over the world. So what does 'local economy' mean? Providing local jobs is good whoever does it.

I think McDonald's are often franchises so they are local busineses even if of course they have to pay to the "mothership".
> The level of reactions against Tesla does not make the system look 'nicer' than others: Maybe effective but actually quite brutal.

You went from calling this a bit “odd” and “a peculiarity” to “actually quite brutal” in the span of two comments. Jesus Christ the level of JAQing off in these Tesla threads from “the outside” (I wonder where) is insane.
So I used to Shazam songs from shows all the time, but Shazam “expanded” a few years back to being able to identify the episode of a tv show from a sample and that killed Shazam for me because it would return the episode and show I already knew I was watching instead of the song playing in the background of the dialog I was sampling.
It is indeed his biggest mismanagement, but it’s a serious competition.

At least it broke the image of ‘CEOs must be intelligent’, that was wide spread in certain circles.
If these "native commands" had a sensible output format, integrating them with powershell would be as simple as putting ConvertFrom-Json or ConvertFrom-Csv in the middle of the pipeline. And let's be real, it's as poorly "integrated" with "native commands" as bash or zsh is poorly integrated with native commands.
It's called "maximizing profit" "for the shareholders" by "saving money".

They consider their workforce a liability and expense instead of an investment and necessary for quality and competitiveness.

They're just cutting into their workforce to impress investors to bilk more money out of them.

It's a sick philosophy for short-term gain that will ultimately destroy the company.
Dead easy is relative I guess, I once tried to track down an issue with the wiring loom of my 400cc motorbike and ended up giving up…
Even in the 90s, you could just power it on and it would show image near-instantly. Warm-up time and channel switch time were all firmly under one second. With the exception of cable TV set-top boxes, which were separate devices and first to include the ridiculous boot times and delays, that still would seem blazingly fast compared to what we have today...
Here in the Netherlands we have a rather dense network of defibrillators. One of the last times I did a ERO training, I heard that there was a greater problem having people available to operate defibrillators and there was an appeal to enlist yourself to become an defibrillator operator. That means that you will receive a call when in your neighbourhood there is a need for one and directions where to find the closest defibrillator. Usual several people will messaged.
Simple idea, really great to see this!

If we approached life with a worst-case scenario mindset, I wouldn't leave my house without first putting on full body armor with steel plate inserts, and a bomb-squad helmet.

Most of the time, it's not going to be a 3-hour stop, and anyone trying to walk the tracks is likely to create a safety problem for themselves and other trains.

At the time of the stop, if nobody knows how bad the outage is likely to be, there is no point in time when making the call to have the passengers all walk out is the right thing to do.
> Amazon's humanoid robot

That was me working for AWS.
But surely this should be already inherently known? I have never met anyone that stuck dogmatically to "rules" from things like Code Complete, Clean Code etc etc no matter how much they espouse them. Very simple examples:

- 1 assertion per test

- Exceptions instead of return codes

- CQRS

etc

All of these are good guidelines in some contexts. I cannot fathom why anyone would think they apply to every situation...
What you detail is pretty much how you would recognize it. You write out a brief summary of the high level problem, and then ask yourself "which abstraction would you reach for first, absent any other information?"

The latter part is often implied, but it's best to make it explicit. You're trying to build up expert intuition, which means allowing for the fractal nature of software development to mean you might be in the 20% of times where this won't work for you.
My daily driver is over 10 years old, from 2013. Still going remarkably well.

It runs Teams and Zoom just fine. I have thousands of browser tabs. I often use the common office apps; sometimes LibreOffice and Microsoft Office are open at the same time. It is always running Firefox, Telegram, Discord, Emacs and a Linux VM. YouTube often, no problems. And many sw dev tools.

When connected, it drives dual 27 inch monitors, but usually I take it out with me. The 10 year old battery still lasts a few hours and has never been replaced. It outlasted the brand new Dell I was given for a contract last year.

As well as MacOS it runs Linux in a VM, full screen so I can four-finger swipe between different OS desktops. I use the Linux desktop mainly for Inkscape in GNOME and other scripted image manipulations. In practice for most work I prefer to SSH from MacOS to Linux, to enjoy the benefits of the iTerm2 terminal, and use Emacs as a MacOS native GUI application, operating on my Linux files.

Currently using it for compiler and OpenGL development, zero-knowledge cryptography performance optimisation, database/storage engine development, and accounting software, in C, C++, Go, Rust, WebAssembly, TypeScript and Nim and a fledgling language I'm designing.

Credit to Apple, I think my 10 years old laptop is still serving me very well!

That said, I've just ordered Apple's latest M3 Max with 128GB RAM. I expect it to feel similar, though faster, not running low on RAM and storage any more, and Homebrew not warning of an unsupported OS and compiling everything from scratch. The M3 Max will be my first daily driver upgrade in 10 years, and is quite exciting.

There are a few things I'll be able to work on more easily with the new laptop and its larger RAM. LLM architecture exploration of course, but I have my eye on EDA and silicon and photonic simulations, large scale code analysis, new data storage and indexing architectures, current gen GPU APIs, and getting back into 3D graphics. I expect the 128GB will actually be useful for new types of activities for me. I use servers now but my internet connections are slow and high latency so local will be transformative.

But old-school things like Teams, Discord, Telegram, browsers with many tabs, office applications like spreadsheets, and various software dev tools, compilers, YouTube et al, even open at the same time, seem to work pretty well on my 10 year old laptop.
That would be at least everyone knowingly involved with who is a professional engineer.
Researchers safely integrate fragile 2D materials into devices
> All of their products use ML and AI.

Is that supposed to be a vote of confidence for the current state of Google search?
Simply of old designs is often a blessing as long as the drawing and documentation is readable and good. It can be hard to get replacement electronics for 1970s designs so sometimes you have to design new components but the functionality was relatively simple back then so it’s possible to build a 1:1 replacement
Why are they trying to colour graphs with quantum computers? Just reading the title
Language purity is a bug not a feature. For all of its fault English is wonderful salad bowl of multiculturalism. Concepts intermingle internationally in this tongue with wild promiscuity. It's similar to the controversy around interracial marriage with France enforcing a kind of linguistic miscegenation ban.
Galaxy Store is a garbage adware. Always runs in background. And if you accidentally open it it will start downloading "recommended apps" without your permission.
Cannot speak for your situation, but I did find the book not so actionable. Was hoping for more tools or guidance
No one is undercutting them because they are raising prices and taking the profit, too.

It's not "collusion" in the sense of "fat cat execs in a room all explicitly agreeing to do nefarious things." It's just an alignment of incentives, a zeitgeist, and a common recognition of an opportunity to make a shitton of money without any real consequences.
You can't tell at the 10 minute mark whether or not power will be back in 10 more minutes, or in 3 hours.
Meh. It's a factual article about an unfortunate event, there isn't much room for creativity here, and everyone is piecing together the facts from information shared with each other.

I'd rather the reporting about things like this spread as fast as possible rather than wordsmiths spending pointless hours figuring out how to reword the same fact to sound "original".

If it was a creative piece or a documentary I'd agree with you, but this is just a dumping of facts.
yes, that did undermine their credibility with some populations, despite being only 201 people that never had syphilis in that study, 100 years ago

> “Its revelation has also been an important cause of distrust in medical science and the US government amongst African Americans.”

one core issue is that the participants themselves didn’t know for at least 40 years, so thats the same as any medical lies now wouldn’t be revealed till 2063 or beyond, and that’s a hard gamble to make with someone you don’t trust because they represent the same organization that gave you a reason not to trust.
The Elizabeth line also has an actual walkway for emergency (and presumably also maintenance) purposes.
Considering that the "sabotage" was intended to bring the company extra revenue by having non-faulty parts replaced and by requiring maintenance to be carried out by them and never third parties, it aligns with the company's own interests too much so to say "some employee did this without authorization".

"Deliberate by manufacturer" 100%.

The scarier part is that had this happened in the United States, DMCA would likely have protected them from prosecution, and the government might be liable for damages.
Idea – machine learning algorithm that browses the web?
Are there companies working on a machine learning algorithm that browses the web?

I was recently summarizing a lot of resources on a website that are not presented in a structured way - some videos, some audio, some PDF, some summaries, no clear schema, no RSS, definitely no "download all" button - that were only accessible behind a paywall and login. It occurred to me that a browser extension could be used to navigate this information and run it wholesale through a local GPT-type model. This browser extension could use behavioral data to "learn to browse" and detect user interaction (such as video elements watched, rewinds, semantic value of content presented). Surely some company is working in this space - who?
Companies are made up of individuals. I'm all for holding everybody who contributed to this malware accountable.
Everything is a bigger brand than X, it is absolutely insanely stupid.
The did it for the same reason every megacorp does anything: money. Their stock price jumped over 5% when they showed this fake demo. It has since come back down a bit, but it is still up about 3.5%.
At least “du”, “env”, and “printenv” in Coreutils all support the “--null” option to separate output into being NUL-separated instead of being text lines.
Twas ever thus. English has succeeded by definitely not having an Académie Anglais.
Yup. For better or worse, "Home" _almost always_ gets a "Jump to Next Episode."
Can they evolve to evade the tests? So many people relied on testing for this disease. More than most others, that it must have created some small selection pressure.
> People are forgetting Google is the most profitable AI company in the world right now. All of their products use ML and AI.

> So who is losing?

The people who use their products, which are worse than they’ve been in decades? The people who make the content Google now displays without attribution on search results?
Context is very important. If this happens overnight and out of nowhere/excess pro-activity, it's definitely an issue.
But the reality is usually more nuanced. Even saying that because of this particular situation clean code is bad, it's an exageration.
It’s largely a myth that viruses follow this evolutionary path and no such pressure really exists for COVID. It doesn’t kill enough of the population for this to exist and even when it does kill people, it can spread for weeks or months before they die.

I play tested this at the Global Gathering in Portugal earlier this year! This little IRL group game is super cool way to learn about Internet shutdowns and how to work around them!
Pushing all the poo-pooing aside this game was actually really fun, and a delightful educational game! It's a great way to talk about Internet shutdowns and circumventions with most people. Also the crew that put it together put in some very solid work to make this a smooth educational tool.
Please don't be negative because the delivery method doesn't check all your boxes.
It'd open the website in a new tab, discarding the old one. The new tab has its own isolated history with nothing in it. The back button would work fine but there'd be nothing to go back to :)
There's also 180 billion tons of lithium in sea water, which is 1.3 million years of lithium at our current usage, and it would require no mining. It only requires electrodes in water with special coating to keep sodium at a minimum, and of course electricity. The coating is the part that's still being worked on, but they have one that that provides a 1:1 ratio of lithium to sodium.
> IMO Google's bad reputation comes from their public customer support.

Garbage in = garbage out.

If Google cannot deign to assign internal resources and staffing towards providing first-party support for paid products, it's not a good choice over the competition. You're not going to beat the incumbent (Office 365) by skimping on customer service.
The code should be flexible. The first iteration wasn't, simple, this is the code juniors in high school write. It always leads to a mess later on. Now, if you are a beginner like you seem to be, then it's a good code. Sure.
... and if we continue to work for it as well then we are both lucky as well as reaping the fruits of our own labor. But I’m sure you don’t know (or care) about that part.
Elon bought "x.com" from the folks who registered it very early on.

Yes, I understand, I do distributed systems for a living, after all. But if you keep adding stipulations without actually describing the problem you're not actually looking for an answer, you're looking to be contrarian.
Quantum-computing approach uses single molecules as qubits for first time
I ran into this exact problem when putting linux on a late 2006 imac. I ended up using the mac specific image that ubuntu had available at the time which (based on later research) removed efi and relied on the machine's bios emulation. I tried windows 8, and then linux mint first but both didn't output sound. (I think mint defaulted to optical out with no way to change it)

Booted up into a 64 bit OS just fine after that.
Once you've introduced a 48v system engineers will find ways to use that extra power. They've been spending decades carefully managing that power and making compromised. Now they won't have to. So yes, you're going to need a higher output alternator to keep the 48v battery charged due to the increased load.
Here it's more like the software - any software - is a problem. I agree with GP, and my experience confirms that adding software to something that used to work without it almost universally makes it worse in every aspect, understandability and repairability being just two major ones. On top of that, taking anything that run on old-school industrial/embedded firmware and replacing that with software using modern practices and stacks of the software industry, 100% makes the product go to shit.
Show HN: I built a developer only job board
Hi everyone, So quick backstory: I was laid off from my job some time back and decided to embark on the journey to be an IndieHacker, my first 2 projects flopped miserably (whole other story) so I started looking for a new job. I've just noticed many job boards barely have new roles for days and many new openings are not development related roles, so stuff like marketing, sales, and management roles.

The ones that did have new roles needed you to create an account to then apply, what happened to job boards just posting jobs and application links? Why do I have to be a user on 3 or 4 different platforms just to apply for new openings?

Anyway I created mine which is pretty much that, see a job opening, read job description and go to application link.

I'm actively adding new roles everyday, if your company is hiring, please consider posting the job on the site.

Otherwise all your feedback is welcome!
Tattoo artists also make money off generating infringing content all the time. I thought the issue was not in the generation but in the subsequent usage. Outlawing generation borders on thoughtcrime.
I'm solely consuming EN content. And if it's from another country, it's only whats leaked by big media. It make me wonder how much good content could be translated.

If the cost for maintaining the infrastructure in 10x that, then it's a shoestring budget. You have to compare the budget to a baseline, you can't just evaluate it as an absolute. Yes, £10B looks like a big number, but what do you compare it to?

As I linked elsewhere in this thread: German business people have already gone to jail over breaking sanctions, it is mostly up to interpretation of the (German) authorities whether or not what Hetzner does qualifies as breaking the sanctions. If I were an exec in this position I'd play it very, very safe.
Heya, I work at Kagi. This sounds like a great idea, thanks for the input! We'll put it on the requested features list (which our users contribute to).
I've never experienced this recommended app installation that you're talking about.

Otherwise, I completely agree. Samsung should just use Google Play or the System update process to manage system app updates, etc.

I can see their concern with relying completely on gPlay, as there may be instances where the permissions needed for a system app go beyond the allowances of gPlay, but there are other ways to avoid those issues, and the Galaxy Store is trash.
