I don't know if I would recommend forcing your kids to try to get in. Whether people are willing to admit it or not the degrees are closer to a Rolex watch than they are 'success'. Framing it as if you need a Harvard/MIT/Princeton/Stanford degree to succeed is a false dichotomy. The students at these places commit a lot of academic fraud, my school is changing the honors code to adjust to this new reality. The parents of the students hire consultants to help them create fake credentials to help them get in, they play obscure sports, they join academic clubs like the math team they don't even like. It's not a pretty site. Although objectively, students from these schools have more opportunities, the opportunities are at the kind of places that are themselves kind of fake like top financial firms and it's much easier to create a fake startup when you have a nice degree. I'm put off by how toxic this all is. Goodhart's Law is playing out.

I am in favor of having good STEM schools, which is what the schools should do, but I don't think we can do that and simultaneously overvalue prestige rankings. The schools have contributed to tribalism across the country. They are really becoming a net negative I think.
Right, in fact it's very much "a thing" for bored/retired engineers (or otherwise physics-adjacent) to guess a new physics principle and convince themselves that it must be correct without actually doing the boring and difficult work of checking it against existing known-good principles / data and coming up with experiments that prove it to be usefully differentiated. You know, the difficult parts of science.

This is the source of a steady stream of crackpots that regularly pester the physics community. Don't be one of them. If your trajectory doesn't include a bunch of graduate level physics classes, a literature review, and a big math slog, you are at risk. Existing techniques are very powerful and you need to know them well before you know what counts as a genuine addition.

I don't think this article limits the definition of architecture exclusively to very broad systems, like designing a new graph DB service. Architecture choices happen at all levels, and true systems architects are seldom involved in that.

> the point about being around for longer to see the effects of your mistakes assumes you're not a cog in the wheel.

Ideally—yes. In practice, decisions that should take QARs into account but don't are made by almost any IC level. I have seen systems designed by interns. You could say it's a company culture problem, and I would partially agree. On the other hand, tech companies have a tendency to lean into empowering ICs and so what ends up happening is that inexperienced engineers design systems that are only reviewed by overworked (and maybe not particularly experienced and/or motivated) senior ICs.

Sure, the concept of file itself is an abstraction.

It's a whole different thing to use an abstraction in order to make something understandable and to just handwave everything technical about it. It's not just a different thing.

Essentially, it’s an environment for writing+outlining+task tracking+time management. It’s incredibly useful — you should definitely try it since you’ve used Emacs.
Indeed. A landfill is the worst possible solution for this.
I'm thinking about that as well. My one year old girl of course has no screen time at all, but she sees us using it and is already interested in the device. We sometimes let her play with it when it's turned off. We also have no tv, only a beamer we can use when she's sleeping or away. Maybe once or twice a week we watch news on an ipad during lunch or supper with her at the table.

I am planning to only introduce screen based devices after several years. First would be offline media like comics, later maybe videos. Access to the internet should be highly regulated, i am myself disgusted by what i see on (a-)social media. So when she's gonna use it i will block all social media for my whole network for a long time. I myself have stopped using it ages ago and i have to get my partner to accept that. But i think there is a huge difference between getting data from the internet and social media. Also playing a game might be a thing, but _never ever_ a free to play game, they are the worst and only live off the addiction they are creating in the early game time.

The only device i'd like to give to her pretty early is a ebook reader, but i dont really think she's gonna love it ;-) Lets see whether i will be able to get her reading early on.

No, obviously people aren't gonna throw away their PCs after next year just because Win 10 won't get any more updates, the same way how they don't immediately throw away their Macs and Androids that stopped getting SW updates. People are just throwing hissy fits over nothing burgers.

I wish editorialized click-bait garbage articles like this would stop ending up on HN frontpage. If I had a cookie for every FUD Windows 10 EOL article on HN frontpage I'd be diabetic already.
Just pointing out, having spent the first third of my career working IN television, that perfectly profitable programs and networks are discarded simply because they are not profitable enough for the manager du jour.

> The median income for Bangladeshi Americans is around the same as for Hispanics. It’s that way for the same reason—both are relatively recent immigrants from relatively poor countries. But Bangladeshis are treated as privileged because Indians and Pakistanis are rich.

I'm wondering how much longer that's going to be true. If we look, not at Bangladeshi Americans, but at Bangladeshis in Bangladesh - on most economic and developmental measures (GDP per capita, poverty, life expectancy) Bangladesh is now equalling or beating India, and both are leaving Pakistan way behind. In 2022, Bangladesh's GDP per capita (nominal) was US$2688, versus US$2411 for India and US$1589 for Pakistan. [0] In 2018, Bangladesh's life expectancy at birth was 73, India's was 71, Pakistan's was only 66. [1] The most recent figures for adult literacy have Bangladesh at 75% (2020), India at 76% (2022), Pakistan at 58% (2019). [2]

As far as a quick google search got me, it seems pretty open with the only caveat being you can't sell or monetize it... how is that not open source?
It is absurd of you to suppose that Waymo's testing has yielded just three data points on the safety of its cars... Just suppose there had been no incidents incidents at all - then they would clearly have to be banned from the road, as we would have absolutely no data pertaining to their safety!
Frankly I think Japanese smokers have more freedom because there are designated places to do so. I walked into a Nissan dealership in Ginza just to use the smoking room and was invited to sit inside a special edition GT-R on the way out.

When I'm not using those spaces and smoke on the street, I get stopped and frisked (never happens to me in NYC tho as someone who is melanated).
I'd recommend watching the course material and reading each chapter. It depends on a little luck which material clicks and how quickly, for me it varied from chapter to chapter whether or not I could get by with just the videos.
And yet it never uses the word "polynomial".

> What other places outside of DC does federal law apply to?

In theory, anything owned by the federal government is under federal law. This means federal court houses, branches of the fed, federal waters (anything above 3 geographical miles from shore), national parks, etc. Sometimes law enforcement is delegated to state local authorities though.
Sure. But I am responding to you, not that guy upthread.

Your implied claim, as I read it, is that "opioid-ness" is "why fentanyl kills," and there's nothing special going on because we had a bunch of deaths from licit opioids in the early 2000s. But I think that there's actually something special about illicit fentanyl in particular, as opposed to regulated opioids, and dose inconsistency is one plausible difference.

Anyway, you could just share what your thoughts are more explicitly, and that would be interesting and maybe harder to misunderstand.

2023 Was a Turning Point for Microservices
We now have several organizations actively iterating on the same idea: OpenAI, Google, Apple, etc., most of which have more resources at their disposal than most countries do. They are also in fierce competition with each other. There's also a trend line if you look at the rate of progress over the last decade.

Then again, Bill Gates thinks it may have plateaued. He ought to be privy to OpenAI's going-ons. That, and Gemini was underwhelming.
Ask HN: What are your saved side project/business ideas?
A lot of us probably keep an ever growing list of ideas that we think would be a good idea, but realistically won’t ever get around to it.

Would be interesting to see some ideas that other people have thought of. It’s probable that some ideas already have people executing on them, whether successfully or not. I definitely haven’t gone through my list to see how many actually already exist (probably all of them).

I’ll start with one of mine:

There are a few different browsers and each have their own extensions. It would be convenient if there was some common unified interface/abstraction for browser extensions such that I (if I was going to develop an extension) could develop against that interface/abstraction and have it work on all browsers. And shield me as much as possible from browser extension changes.
Speaking of which, anybody have advice on how to simplify section 2 of this paper and can you please tell me how I’m fooling myself? https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ugJ9czd4EPUPlQO2uGQgsfc6EHW...

I think nano LLMs are the next trendy thing, but I agree with your sentiment.
That would be true if the main payload left the rocket with spare capacity but that just isn't the case. SpaceX's main payload can use every last kilogram of capacity. Every kilogram they sell as rideshare is a kilogram they lose for Starlink. They'll still have to pay the cost to launch that kilogram later so there's nothing free here. As I already pointed out...

That Apple "lock customers into using Apple’s official app for texting" is a lie.

I use several different SMS texting (some also voice call) apps on my iPhone, in order to keep SMS numbers as required by various segments of digital life apart, as well as to serve as the "mobile" number for SMS on my contact info.

For a decade my iPhone's primary voice and SMS line were even an original "Grand Central" number before it was acquired by Google Voice.

If your preferred number is stuck on your iPhone, you can port it to any app backed by a service that supports porting, then keep using your number not just on that iPhone but anywhere you run the app.
The problem isn't just react though. Most libraries in JS land just don't prioritise interfaces, compatibility and colaboration, instead opting for a "I'm just gonna build my own thing and not care about anything else out there" mentality.

Lets look at that Rust comparison and see how the equivalent situation looks like for JS. Before async-await, Rust had a variety of libraries implementing something close to Futures. They all largely standardized on the Future trait from the futures crate, which made it possible to write compatible library code that could build on top of any of them. There was a bit of an issue with compatibility as the trait essentially moved into std and some compatibility shims were needed, but after that a lot of the ecosystem adopted it and its possible to write runtime-independent code

In contrast in JS land, we had callbacks which were not even values, Promises (which had a working group that actually cared about compatibility), monadic Futures, observables, thunks, event-based interfaces, a variety of libraries. This came to be dominated with node-style callbacks, and then what got standardized were promises which instantly made most of the library ecosystem incompatible with the standardized syntax.

Both ecosystem have had these challenges, but to me it seems clear that the Rust community approached it with more care and thought on average.

Going beyond async-await, we can see similar patterns in the rest of the ecosystem. We have:

- half a dozen different component frameworks and not one has thought to define an compatible component interface that anyone could implement.

- 10 different popular libraries for manipulating standard library collections, but not one common protocol or trait (other than iterable and concatspreadable) that would make them largely work with other custom collections (e.g. MobX reactive collections or similar)

- 5 different popular bundlers and 10 older ones, but not one common trait, interface or standard for writing bundler plugins

- at a certain point, we had 3 different ways to define monorepo workspaces between npm, pnpm and yarn

So for a variety of reasons we have a very "internally incompatible" ecosystem. You can barely get components to work together, and what works together today is almost guaranteed to break tomorrow.

I think that if we recognize this is a problem collectively, there may be a way out. There is very high interest in some maintainers for doing this, especially those that care about compatibility. This is because one-sided care is not enough - the side you want to be compatible with has to care and prioritize it too. Those maintainers could decide to form a sub-community that prioritizes compatibility and continuity amongst them, as well as a promise to their users.

The recognition has to be more widespread than just in maintainers though, as frameworks that have done this before (e.g. Ember) have been largely left behind due to hype propping up the latest shiniest thing.
What I'm seeing is the most popular Linux distro, ChromeOS/ChromeOS Flex, absolutely demolishing Windows marketshare.

It also has even worse support than Windows.

I think most modern users don't care about their operating system anymore because the browser is the operating system 90% of the time. Which I suppose why it's a shame Windows 10 is seeing end of support because it's really, for 90% of users, just as good as Windows 11.
I'd imagine the ez80 uses an extended register fusion setup ie. You can use 3 8bit registers as a 24bit register. I think that would take 3 cycles to use the full address space, but for the first 8bit space I guess it would work like utf8 in that you just use 1 register (byte).
Great point! I guess I haven't thought of some of those things as teaching, but you're right about their importance.

Citation needed.

All the stats we have focus around arrests, charges, convictions, so any systemic racism in enforcement is included.

African Americans being arrested more per capita for a crime is not inherently the same as committing more crime per capita.

I have a hard time figuring how you could ever prove your claim, because how do you show who committed crimes that were either not suspects, or crimes that weren’t discovered or reported?
I found Chapter 5 to be quite challenging, largely because it took a while to understand the combinatorial way in which any of the chip parts would get new inputs and so on, especially coming from a traditional sequential programming background.

If these tragedies you describe keep happening (as described), and the fault you identified points directly to the problems of American drivers, I find it shocking you suddenly describe it as "this one issue". Either it's as problematic as you described or it's not.

I’ve been a DDG user for years now, so I guess a bunch of my results come from Bing.

I don’t generally compare to Google, so I can’t say for sure that the results are ‘as good’, but my experience sure as shit is better.

I search for a thing and I get a page with links. Usually the thing I want is in the first page.

Sometimes it isn’t, or I’m searching for something that I know is recent that Google probably has a later version of, so I just add the !g to the search and there I am at Google.

It’s great. It works. It’s not stressful or horrible or annoying. I recommend it.
Do you believe that the people in question didn't have sincere (at least in some way, and to some degree) concern for the well being of others?

No, nand2tetris is done in virtual environments.

This is largely about accessibility. If it’s tied to hardware, fewer people can do it. Additionally, real hardware means there’s additional opportunity for error due to faults in the hardware or environmental variables.

That said, Nand2Tetris could, in theory, be done with a bunch of 74xx NAND chips on a breadboard.
Yup. a) it allows people not to get hung up on the details, but just as importantly b) it shows creative people to look at the prototype and imagine other possibilities. A finished-looking mock-up tends to shrink the world of possibilities.

This was my experience with the course as well. It was fun but not useful.

Learning Verilog later really opened the world of digital design for me and has let me build actually useful things. It's probably a non-goal though for this coarse to turn people into digital designers, this seems more aimed at people with a passing interest in HW as opposed to those who really want to go deep.
It does, but using it is really optional. It works equally well if you leave everything in the default Drive directory and use search to find whatever you need.

There is (browser?) malware out there that hijacks the google search results to show junk instead of what you are actually looking for. At one point I got bitten by this, it only sometimes replaced the results so it was a bit subtle and took me a while to pin down.

I wonder how many people on HN are infected by such malware and don't realize it? A lot of the complaints about search results are clearly not this, but when someone complains of outright spam for reasonable queries, I do wonder...
It uses "efficient" everywhere, only alluding to polynomial-time here:
