You are victim-blaming, stop it. Telling people to just act in the "correct" way 100% of the time does not work, it's just a way for engineers and designers to deflect responsibility for design failure. The existing crossing is too far away to be useful, hence why so many people take the shortcut. This has been known for years:

I worked for a company once whose software was written for bigger monitors (and that size ONLY) that was common in the day.

So, as a customer you got a free properly sized monitor with your software purchase. True story.
It's amazing how git is a distributed system, but everybody chooses to use it in a centralized manner with PRs (mostly on GitHub).

BTW GitHub is having issues today.
It's not virtually impossible. Whether it is possible or not is a function of that founder's relationships and information networks. If a founder is lacking in those categories, then yes, the deck is stacked against them.
I never knew I can use a folder path as a remote in git. Very handy.
Setting stuff up for that in any browser worth it's salt isn't too difficult, skipping the entire middleman of any search engine.
CVE-2018-6242 allows dumping keys from affected Nvidia Tegra processors that are used, for example, in Nvidia Shields. That hardware flaw is unpatchable in existing units and revoking their keys would mean rendering a large swath of media center devices unable to do their job.
I think many founders have some buried deep worry like this.

You end up fundraising, preparing forecasts and budgets for investors for the next X years, attending conferences, working with marketing on PR, dealing with unglamorous problems that are not part of anyone's job but need to get done and someone else doing it would impact morale too much. It's lucky if you find 1-2 days a week for "deep work" given constant context switching.

Even if you work 2 shifts you can't sometimes match the level of being necessary for day-to-day operations as "regular" employees. But you own orders of magnitude more equity.
Perhaps finish reading the said sentence - the court didn't decide the case because Apple decided to pay out money for their actions.

Your assumption that Apple's settlement to avoid guilty verdict somehow means that they didn't do the action (which they agreed to pay damages for) is the wildest instance of corporate boot licking I've seen this week :D

If the court decided that plaintiffs didn't have a case, Apple wouldn't settle.
Yep. Therefore it’s better to

I removed the SDKs of some big (big for the wrong reasons) open source projects which generates a lot of code using python3 scripts.

In those custom SDKs, I do generate all the code at the start of the build, which takes a significant amount of time for mostly non-pertinent anymore/inappropiately done code generation.. I will really feel python3 speed improvement for those builds.
Yep. My youngest sister was a hospital pharmacist for most of her career, and there was nothing worse than the hospital getting a new "computer system" (software).

She never quite said it...but her fantasy might have been for the people responsible for creating those systems to somehow be flagged - so that when they needed health care, the hospital could ignore all the myriad and laborious work-arounds, and give them exactly the sort of care that they deserved. :(

git is foundational tooling, i.e. one of the tools that a developer must know.

But git is useful beyond the development community. A huge impact for a "weekend project".

"The development of Git began on 3 April 2005. Torvalds announced the project on 6 April and became self-hosting the next day. The first merge of multiple branches took place on 18 April. Torvalds achieved his performance goals; on 29 April, the nascent Git was benchmarked recording patches to the Linux kernel tree at a rate of 6.7 patches per second. On 16 June, Git managed the kernel 2.6.12 release." [1]

Head Mounted Displays: The Airplane Test
JavaScript has to be fast because its users were traditionally captive on the platform (it was the only language in the browser).

Python's users can always swap out performance critical components to another language. So Python development delivered more when it focussed on improving strengths rather than mitigating weaknesses.

In a way, Python being slow is just a sign of a healthy platform ecosystem allowing comparative advantages to shine.

For me it's the opposite: I would think like "Is it really worth my time doing this stupid work just to make it a bit better" and seek for another task that is harder but more fulfilling. Unfortunately, I can't seem to get traction on a single thing because I quickly run out of energy..
> ignorance, hubris, or something else

People that think brains are fueled by magic tend to assume AI will never fully take off.

> The dot com bubble was a bubble

There is not a 1:1 relationship between how big an impact AI will have in the coming years and how it will impact the valuation of "AI companies". Even if the progress slows down, it's possible that some companies will find ways to monetize it in ways that generate immense profit, if they can create some moat.

On the other hand, even if AI development takes off beyond expectation, it may be hard for companies like OpenAI or even Nvidia to continue to extract profit if they lose their moat.

In fact, AI itself can potentially cause this, as a sufficiently strong AI may be able to remove most of the costs associated with developing new chips or AI models, to the point where the marginal value of intelligence and compute becomes really low.
I think there's probably a lot of truth to the meme that goes around saying that our jobs are safe because effective LLM use requires people to know what they want.
Here's the thing, one needs to define what "benefits all of humanity" means, and once that is defined, how can that be accomplished...and the idea is that those in power decide how humanity benefits. It's quite amorphous.

Yes. When people ask why I prefer Go over Rust (as a solo dev in web-adjacent space) it’s mainly two things:

- std lib that does some really heavy lifting. (Dep tree is maybe 10 libs total, 2-3 layers deep for mid-sized projects).

- concurrency is simpler and less boilerplate. Data races is a non-issue with good hygiene + race detector

I would normally throw in the Go toolchain as a plus but I think Rusts tooling is very good as well, in some cases maybe even better. It’s much more of a problem with other languages.

It doesn't matter whether you got the ability to copy that album. It only matters whether you adhere to the licensed rights that you got when buying the album, which allows copying for your personal use. If you decide to copy the album to random other people in exchange for $10, then that's no longer covered by the license and thus illegal, even though you clearly got the ability to do that by buying the album and thus getting access to the MP3s in the first place.

The NYT does not give readers the license to recite substantial portions of their articles verbatim on their own websites, even though buying paid access to the NYT website technically gives them the ability to do so. In the same manner, OpenAI did technically gain the ability to do the same, but has not acquired the right to do so. The funny fact that you have to enter some magic words into a form on their website in order for their site to regurgitate entire article texts does not change anything; if I would do the same on my website, for example via a form that requests to enter the first 100 words verbatim before spitting out the entire text, it would obviously still be illegal. The same goes for the fact that you have to perform some attempts before one of them succeeds in reproducing the entire text correctly; I could replicate that just as well by adding an RNG that only returns the valid text in 20% of cases, and my website would still clearly be illegal.

>> The other investors have a fiduciary duty to their own stakeholders (themselves) that generally comes before the founder’s desire for special treatment.

That is not a criticism. It should be obvious why outsiders invest in something, and it sounds like some founders forget this because they are so focused on the thing they spent a lot of time on.

>> Good founders that know they’re not the right ones to lead the next phase of the business know when to step aside.

But it's debatable when that is. It also depends what the goals are. There is absolutely NO legal requirement that a company has to have profit as it's main objective. If the goal is to make the best widget possible, one can go from MVP and ramen profitability to a lifelong business without taking investment. Hah, so that's "when" you step aside - when you decide to shift from product-focused to money focused! Those are definitely two different skills. You are effectively cashing out, but investors aren't just going to buy the business and hand you a check. They need to keep you around because you're the expert in whatever you've built so far, hence letting you stay as a minority shareholder (handcuffs).

My sneaking suspicion is that the real reason that everything is so slow is that noticeable loading or processing times give the software a feeling of heft. It strokes our ego as programmers because if something takes a while to complete then it must be very complicated and important.

I'm willing to spend a bit more for a better display, which is why I bought an iPhone 12 mini.

I think the pessimism really comes from a dislike for Python

While very very very popular, Python is i think is very disliked languages, it doesnt have or it is not built around the current programming language features that programmers like, its not functional or immutable by default, its not fast, the tooling is complex, it uses indentation for code blocks (this feature was cool in the 90s, but dreaded since at least 2010)

so i guess if python become fasters, this will ensure its continued dominance, and all those hoping that one day it will be replace by a nicer , faster language are disappointed

this pessimism is the aching voice of the developers who were hoping for a big python replacement

> Most of them are far more subtle that a Harrier like vectoring of exhaust gas.

The Harrier has a number of bleed air reaction nozzles dotted around the aircraft so it can be controlled whilst hovering. The vectored thrust is just for the main "drive", these nozzles replace the control surfaces at hover speeds.

https://xplanereviews.com/index.php?/forums/topic/965-aircra...

> For me the significant area was the flight "puffer" small reaction nozzles that are the most important and the most ingenious aspect of the Harrier. It is actually quite easy to support any aircraft on a downward thrust of gases, and even here with the clever engine mounted vector nozzles... the real trick was in actually controlling the aircraft in the air. The Harrier has a unique system of engine bleed that directs air to the various reaction nozzles...
I grew up in Michigan during the rust belt era. Nice cities don't always get better, they can get far worse. What turns them around is 1) a commitment from the community to do something about it 2) artists and grass roots efforts transforming blighted assets 3) Financial resources 4) Frankly, the incumbents who put strangleholds on development moving out or dying and 5) visionary business leaders following the artists and seeing opportunity where others see blight. SF has all of the right ingredients, but as someone who visits often, I think the missing piece is community "roots". The people walking through the tenderloin and shaking their heads in disgust just leave. They don't live and work in these communities and so it becomes a constant gripe rather than a problem. SF will get better when people who don't want to invest in it anymore move out and people who are building for generations to come move in. I'd look to immigrants as a class of people who would kill to have a place in the tenderloin they can develop and build wealth on top of. The mental health piece is a big part of it, the "housing first" approach makes the most sense to me but is not without significant challenges. For a city that is filled with people good at building systems, it feels like inward focus and community involvement from our brightest minds outside of government would be a big step in the right direction.

The manufacturer company put in larger engines than the aircraft is designed for. And they did it to avoid all the homologation licences and design costs involved in bringing a new aircraft to market with the appropriate tolerances, and to compete with another company's aircraft in time (Loss of sales).

They introduced MCAS in the aircraft for to balance by software a hardware issue, a big design negligent issue which can lead to stalling. It is beyond to trim an aircraft, and because of this there is a big difference in the scale of the values that the algorithm manages from a trimming.

It is not my field, but I think it is not a simple factor, and that it should not be put this over the Pilots like if it were a normal aircraft that received a simple update. Every pilot flying that plane should have been warned that it was not a classic plane with a classic update.

If this type of behaviour by aircraft manufacturers becomes the norm, costs over safety, we as passengers will suffer it, as other passengers unfortunately suffered it, while they blame the Pilots. In addition that nowadays the China's aircraft manufacturing industry wants to enter global market. Some days ago I read they want permission (homologations approvals) for to enter in the European Union.

PS: They also cut costs retiring backup sensors, delegating responsibility for a vital system due the MCAS to the buyer as if it was an unimportant feature; disaster was the order of the day. And the spending cuts were not limited to that, as we have seen in recent days.

Navies were certainly crucial in the European theater of WW2. Britain was supplied by sea, and that was only possible with navies and merchant marines protecting the shipping lanes and hunting U-boats. It might not have been as dramatic as the Pacific theater with their big battles at sea, but the resilience of the Allied navies to keeping those shipping lanes limping along allowed them to eventually win the war. War is hugely about logistics.

Probably the most notable naval moment in the European war (D-Day) was also only possible because the German navies couldn't dominate the channel. If the Germans had dominated the channel, D-Day would have been impossible. So, a lack of naval strength there was a critical factor for the Axis losing.

But then there are types of brains which are naturally attuned to wanting to solve certain problems. If the owners of those brains get lucky they get a brain that wants to solve problems that they can get paid very well for. It doesn't feel like hard work then. It's like what your brain was naturally wired or specialised to do.

The fatal accident count is higher for GA, but I didn't normalize against flight hours or flights, just glanced at it.

I'm sure there's been a study somewhere that attempts to untangle all the factors that differ between commercial carriers and GA, to see which safety is most sensitive to -- continuous highly professional maintenance, highly trained and experienced crew, rigorous airliner certification regime, etc.
Breaking news: temporarily solving a systemic problem is a lot easier than permanently solving it

The form factor of the RPi 5 is the same as previous generations. You can run them fine without active cooling unless you want it to run at sustained max performance, in which case the original Pi’s wouldn’t work anyways.

The biggest benefit of RPis is their good Linux driver support and ecosystem. Something cheap Alibaba Android tablets don’t provide.

And there’s still plenty of RPi4’s and 3’s available.
I'm all for a ban in Congressional stock trading, but the idea that she needs to risk that with an already-wealthy VC husband with plenty of his own insider access seems similarly laughable. (Headlines also tend to call it her wealth, which seems pretty misleading.)

In 2022, their return was -19.8%. 2023 saw the market up enormously, and as my link indicates, Dems in Congress have been benefiting from a focus on tech stocks like Nvidia across the board.
Yeah, often enough it feels like there a lack of imagination, as well as a lack of appreciation for the history of progress (i.e., it's not linear, it's littered with it-can't be dones that get done, etc.) Most everything here is literal, to a fault. Also there's quite a bit of band wagon jumping. That is, there'll be an initial nearly pointless comment and the conversation takes off from there (nearly void of addressing the original article).

Finally, mention any of this and you get a lesson from HN down vote gang bangers. Sometime I feel like the only free-thinking adult in the room.

The first article I found when searching for “floor heating health” concludes:

> »A warm floor can induce high blood perfusion in the feet and consequently improve an occupant's health by treating many vascular-related disorders.«

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19120501/

The article is from 2008, so there could be newer — or just other — articles out there coming to the opposite conclusion, but it does sound counter-intuitive that it should be bad for the blood flow. I'm willing to change my mind, though.
You should get to know your neighbors. Borrowing tools as needed is common when you know people.

Most tools you should buy - or get a neighbor to buy. There is a lot of friction going to a maker space for some tool. It is much easier to grab your own drill when you need one than to go elsewhere to get it.

"flattening the curve was an argument in favor of social distancing and movement restrictions."

I think all those measures in combination were part of an effort to avoid overwhelming hospitals. From https://www.factcheck.org/2023/03/scicheck-what-the-cochrane...

“Community masking is not aimed to prevent everyone from ever getting infected, the aim is to reduce transmission and ‘flatten the curve’, reducing peak healthcare demand, or to work in combination with other measures like social distancing to contain transmission in the short-term.”
Yep. Now I'm glad I vendor-mirror all my dependencies so I can keep doing tests and all that.
