I don't know how the old web worked, but something decentralized makes sense to me.
I think there's a big difference between the opinion of most of the people in tech and those at the very top (CEOs and VCs). I see wide support for Palestinians with pretty much everyone, but the VCs are almost universally, militantly, Zionist. It's a huge issue that those funding the industry and those working in it (and consuming it) hold such extremely different opinions on an issue as serious as genocide.
Unfortunately that post claims to be the first of a series, but the series doesn't (yet) seem to continue.

It's easy to see both sides of the decision to presume or not presume that machines work - we should like somehow to explain that on the one hand it's unlikely that without his intent Jim's iPhone sent Gemma a series of messages threatening to rape her, and so we shouldn't need to drag Apple engineers into court to convict Jim - but then on other hand it's far from certain that this bank database which says I made 590 cash withdrawals in sixteen minutes is correct, more likely a bug duplicated a single withdrawal I made, and we should require the bank to produce evidence otherwise if they insist I made these withdrawals.

I can imagine that smart lawyers motivated by some real world examples and assisted by independent software engineers could come up with a general formula for courts, something a bit larger than either the old rule or the new one, but still relatively pithy. Whether a government would ever make time to do that work is another question.
Or even libdispatch which I've been using on Linux and MacOSX surprisingly well.
htmx + kotlinx.html + kotlinjs is an excellent combo that gives you an MPA that looks and feels like a modern webapp, with minimal stack complexity, and fully typesafe/compiled UI code. I'm also layering in tailwind & flowbite. With the hotswapagent project, you get hotswap that works for when you're building out UIs. One day I'll blog about this stack in more detail and post here.

There is no way to quantify "software development losses from AI" versus post-COVID hiring frenzy layoffs and cheap capital becoming more expensive. Any definitive statement claiming such is purely conjecture.

No companies who are doing layoffs are saying "we're laying off developers because AI", everyone who is drawing those conclusions are making assumptions. AI can automate other menial, clerical stuff, but making that stretch to software development isn't founded.

ChatGPT and friends coincidentally started gaining traction as the economy started cooling off. Rather than drawing casual inferences to AI, it's much more likely that companies are laying off because of the latter rather than AI.

> Please cite a study that shows that exercise results in long-term sustained, clinically meaningful (>5%) weight loss

Those are not the words I used. Please engage in good faith. More accurately: exercise in addition to energy balance (and with a modest caloric deficit) is a strong predictor of WL success.

Check google scholar for meta reviews, I don't have this bookmarked and I'm not doing homework for you. If you don't want to believe me then don't.

At the end of the day, ads exist to make money, and until the bots have credit cards that means money from humans. Google etc. will notice it in their bottom line if there's suddenly a lot more "engagement" or traffic in some area but none of that converts to humans spending dollars.

Google will start dealing with this problem when it starts appearing in their budget in big enough numbers. The tech layoffs we're hearing about from one company after another - google is mentioned in another HN thread today - may be a sign of which way the wind is blowing.
Ask HN: How come there are no quality providers of on-premise ATS/HRMS software?
I work for a non-profit company that has almost 1000 employees and strict security policies. We need an HR solution that can be installed and run on our own network, instead of using a cloud-based service. I searched online, but I couldn’t find a definitive list of such solutions. So I want to ask the hacker news community if they have any experience with on-premise HR software that is easy to manage. We are looking for features like recruitment, talent, time reporting, and career management. How do these solutions compare to the popular cloud offerings like ceridian, workday, etc?

Absolutely right. I was exactly thinking in same direction as your comment. There is no "they" it is just people. Job seekers, employees, employers all get economical with truth when needed.

This seems to map pretty well to that famous graph showing the divergence between productivity and wage gains [1]. It also at least correlates with the start of a relative predominance of China and other third-world countries in economic growth, which kept wage growth lower in the West than it could have been - empowered, of course, by the policies of people like Reagan and Thatcher.

Recently I had Carson on my podcast: https://youtu.be/9H5VK9vJ-aw?si=cv4ScxFTnJMRbsSH

I think change in the remote work world is that we can no longer take these casual relationships for granted, or assume that they will just come into being. In this new world, we have to be intentional about building them.

Whereas in an office environment, we'd naturally run into folks at the proverbial water cooler, and slowly develop more of a relationship with some folks — and similarly for camaraderie with the folks sitting around you — that just doesn't exist in remote.

In my experience, it is still possible to build these kinds of relationships, though. But it requires actively building them. It requires intentional effort, which doesn't come naturally to many of us, and especially so since many of us have not been used to having to do that, having come from office settings pretty recently. I was able to build meaningful friendships with remote colleagues, some of which have lasted beyond my time at the company, by intentionally making the time to ask and care about their lives outside of work, by setting up recurring 1:1s to just chat, etc. This can sometimes feel like it's "wasted time" that's taken away from your work, but I believe it's really important in order to feel better about where you're working and who you're working with, feel less like a cog in a machine, and as a result (at least for me) end up doing better work.

I wonder if, as the tech world becomes more accustomed to remote work, we'll eventually get better at this as an industry. My hope is that it'll get easier, or at least more natural as a result.

no training on API as well. I integrated it with Telegram over a year ago. For convenience rather than for cost savings. Been paying $2 per month on average ever since. And "No training on your data" is included.
"people might think that this operation has some kind of official endorsement by the Israeli government."

Because it does. https://archive.is/ERHPN#selection-2055.97-2055.288

You are right about anti-semitic tropes, and it's a serious accusation, but if it's happening it's a problem. Not that official endorsement should be the standard to follow. Crowdsourcing a troll army for positive coverage is deceptive, regardless of whether support is official or shadier.

It would have to be on a small isolated LAN, e.g. within a machine or section of a plant.

Many buses used in industrial control equipment such as CAN bus and Modbus do not use encryption. I suppose there's more risk if you're using TCP/IP and connect laptops that have been online to the LAN, because it's such a common protocol.

But again sophisticated malware could just wait until you have your USB CAN dongle connected to the laptop, and still attack the CAN bus. Heck, CAN bus and Modbus don't even have any password protection at all.
I think the stupid part is the idea that the government was intentionally ruining the internet. I also think that around 2016 and 2017, bot spam was pretty easy for anybody with a frontal lobe to detect. The problems we saw in the 2016 election with fake news was markov-chain generated articles with explosive headlines about Hillary Clinton: the headline sounded real, the domain name sounded like a real news publication, and skimming the site it looked like a real wordpress site. However, if you read any of the content for more than 10 seconds you would realize that it was barely English and was generated by a very rudimentary bot that any CS freshman could cobble together. Their only advantage was relying on the fact that most people on the internet only read headlines. To believe, at that point, that the majority of interactions on the internet were these kind of stone age systems, was pure paranoia.

Today the situation is different. LLMs are capable of making content which is only verifiably AI generated with a few tell-tale signs as well as good old fashioned fact-checking. I dread this election year in the US because it will be so so so much easier for Russia or China to spread even more convincing misinformation automatically. They could create armies of bots which hold intense arguments with each other and have every reply seem logically sound.
When Instagram was acquired they had 30m MAU, no monetization, and were being crushed with scaling problems that were too much for the small team to bear. Whatever the number is, it's a lot higher than 13.

This is better, and, see, the numbers are suddenly much closer to each other than before, but...

Absent some indication that the two countries put the same number of people in each vehicle on average, it needs to be passenger miles, not vehicle miles, and for the purposes of this particular thread, it needs to be specifically highway miles and then probably further clustered by speed.

Because the parent comment's statement was some potshot "autobahn go fast" snark about highway speed limits. We all know (I hope) that a huge percentage of vehicle incidents happen at intersections and on country roads, which the US has more of by virtue of its geographic spread and which are not designed particularly safely here. And we all (I hope) know that americans behave antisocially and are bad at implementing long-term plans that would improve society for everyone. Those are rightly given.

In a way VSCode is kind of this generation's emacs, I guess. Scriptable, does "Everything", etc. It's just not as... magic. And it's not Free Software with the same spirit that made emacs cool.

You can, in fact, glue everything together in emacs to get a rather all-encompassing environment; IDE-like code editing, navigation, etc. even copilot and such (but yes, sans the slack and browser, etc. as you say). But I've found it will always be brittle. And, yes, back in the day I had it all inside emacs.. IRC, LambdaMOO, email, code editing. All in one place running on my 8MB 486. There's nothing like that now, but, yes, the GUI environment does it all.

It's the same reason why tiling window managers never click for me -- all the applications I use all have their own "tiling" that ends up fighting with it. CLion, Firefox, Emacs, Discord, Slack, Teams... they've all got their own internal nav, with the expectation of a typical GUI environment.

All that said... Saying "just use Vim" is kind of missing the point. I (and others) hate modal editors, and if I liked them I would have used vi back in the day in the first place as it was always one very machine I shelled into. The modal editing thing as some sort of mark of superiority or pride... is a bit of a recent obsession of a subset of nerd culture that I don't get, nor do I care to. And I strongly disagree that "but a good editor" line; the editor in emacs is great. But no, it's not vi, and no, it's not windows/mac keybindings. You have to learn its keybindings and yanking and all that.
I have TOTP basically everywhere. The one place I didn’t have it and specifically didn’t want it was Gmail.

My password is over thirty characters long and I know it by heart. I really need access to my gmail even if I break my phone, and that happens every couple years. Usually it falls off my nightstand and I step on it getting out of bed. I also don’t like carrying my phone everywhere. I do now, because I have to, but I shouldn’t have to.

Being able to be at a friends house and just check my email on his laptop without carrying a special device seems beyond reasonable.

Anyway Google forced me to enable it because I publish a Chrome Extension and I’m still salty about it.

I don't think it was fear that led to them lying about the fallibility, but hubris. They knew that they had sub postmasters signing that the records were accurate and so they could get them to pay up for the "missing" amounts or face going to prison.

They knew the software had many bugs but decided to use that to bully their employees and steal money from them.

Your assertion is that Google asks “just easy level programming problems.” Assuming we accept this argument, that probably tells most of us more about Google than it does about some straw-man developer.

But I’ll give Google a bit more credit than you and guess that they ask questions that are at least above the “easy” level.

> Eventually, htmx semantics will become part of the web standard

Why do you think that will be the case?

I'm not aware of any effort being made to evolve htmx into a web standard (either by introduction into existing specifications or direct adoption by browser), so this is about as baseless of a claim as someone saying "I see JQuery as a future polyfill" in ~2006.

Cynical pessimism is easy and lame - it doesn’t make you sound smart, I like to see people try new things.

Every new thing has these sorts of articles written about it, they’re best to just ignore.
This is incorrect, or at least incorrect if you generalize it beyond noyb.

All I want is for the true costs of using a product to be understood. Businesses can and should make money! But it’s wrong to present a product as “free” when it is not. It’s no different than having a fine print click license granting Facebook permission to come take stuff from your garage.

Yes, businesses cost money to run. No, that does not mean that all business models must be permitted regardless of consumer and social harm.

There is no fundamental right to a profitable businesses; if a business cannot be profitable within the bounds we choose to set, oh well.

I've tried to use IOCP with Python and the pywin32 module few years ago. I was never able to make it work, even reading c++ code as a guiding source. Also documentation and resources for IOCP when I looked at the time were very scarce and almost looked like an obscure topic to dive in, and finally gave up. On the other side kqueue and epoll are almost trivial to use. If everything fails there is always select which is easy to use as well.
>and Linux is moving to the next-yet-again replacement in io_uring (which calling an epoll/poll replacement is an insult, it does much more.)

Yes, at least this time they support true async disk IO, which epoll doesn't.

In all the cases presented, Apple gets completely destroyed even with their best chip at around 10x worse; that is before even talking about the cost, after which you can only conclude that Apple hardware makes absolutely no sense for this type of task.

Even if you found enough tasks where the larger memory available would make a difference to average mixed performance closer to a NVidia solution, they would seriously need to lower their RAM price for this argument to hold up...

With their current commercial offering, Apple isn't competitive for anything, even though the computers and chips themselves are not bad at all.
All ecommerce sites do this if they can; it's just difficult for the smaller sites to normalize product information and share user browsing data across DSPs. Grocery stores have been doing it for decades: when you see a display on the endcap at the end of an aisle, that's a product which has paid Target or Kroger for the prime real estate.

The company I work for is working on a retail media system so that smaller ecommerce sites can get paid to promote results by advertisers in the same way that they can get paid to show banner ads: the advertiser knows nothing about the retailer and vice-versa. The advertiser offers their products on our DSP and the ecommerce site makes their inventory available to us on our SSP and we connect the two

No, that's never happened before. You're crazy.
I still really like Emacs. Granted, I use Doom, because modal editing is just better. But I don't need to use Vim/Neovim unless I need a quick light editor over a remote connection. There's still a lot of useful integrations and applications within Emacs. I use Calc all the time, Org, LSP is thankfully open and makes Emacs a full-on IDE, RSS reader, file explorer, by far the best Git client, and I still use it to analyze and operate on basically anything text-related.

I think it goes both ways. There are a lot more closed-down things these days, but the things that are open feel more established and professional than they ever did before.
It's also herd psychology (and greed) on the part of investors. If a company does layoffs its competitors' investors go "if they can survive and increase profits after a 10% layoff why can't we?"

And executives can't really answer this because they know they can lay a lot of people off without immediate impact to the business. It's no secret that every tech company is way overstaffed.

What I am saying is that if a company can do more work with less people they will do it.

"Google has an unlimited amount of issues to solve" sure but that does not lead to profits otherwise they would just hire as many people as they could and make more money. Again that's not how it works.
