Yup, in no small measure, this is a problem of scaling.

It is true that "we've always done it this way (keeping stuff in our heads and talking on crappy radios)" has worked.

It is also true that there is more traffic than ever at almost every airport.

Every system has limits to its ability to scale. This system is evidently starting to exceed those limits. Beyond this one deadly accident, more worrying are the record number of near-misses in US airspace [0].

The entire system needs to be changed. It'll be interesting to see how they do this and still stay backwards-compatible with small general-aviation airports. Or will there be a hard-break at some class of airspace?

Wow, that's a very opinionated take, to say the least. Especially when by Europe we mean three dozen countries or so, all of them with their own history, policies and laws. A little bit more nuance would help.

As a data point, I used to organize a Meetup in the very city Bending Spoons is based at. The last meetup was right before the covid pandemic hit. We never had a new one. We keep using our Telegram channel to exchange news and experiences.
Yeah, I'm about to fold my user group that I've been running for about 5 years now.

It was well attended in the before times, and we were able to move online during the pandemic which worked because people didn't have anything else to do.

Now we don't really get anyone coming, either in person or online and Meetup makes it really hard to figure out how to ask people "what do you actually want?".
It’s really infuriating because you constantly feel like they’re about to get to the point.

Maybe as a protest I’ve been hammering on bottom-line-up-front in all of our team communications.
Nobody mentioned slavery
It depends on where you are in the world, but inflation in the U.S. is mostly under control, which is a huge improvement. Employment is very high. Real wages are actually stable, at least over the recent short term. This is a huge improvement over the pandemic-era difficulties.

Over the long term, though, the percentage of wealth going to the top 1% has dramatically increased, which is a root issue that is not improving. (The vast majority of us would be far-better off if there were higher taxes on the richest Americans.)

There are so many weird suggestions in the comments. I'm surprised nobody has mentioned ngrok https://ngrok.com/ (there are other competing alternatives as well). It makes exposing local service over HTTPS trivial. It's been used heavily in most of my engineering orgs.

Too much discussion about the Holy Roman Empire over dinner? People talk to get things of their mind sometimes, not the infinite pursuit of conversation.
I'm not a specialist in the region, and maybe you are. I also don't like WP that much. But there's no talk about territories to be ceded in the article at all. It mentions leasing of 12 miles. It also doesn't seem to take sides, or make any far-fetching claims, it doesn't claim also that the agreement is destined to be successful. So I find it hard to understand what exactly makes it "horribly written". On a side note: personally I have no idea what changed with Somalian gov't since 2011, but virtually all sources say it still controls lesser part of internationally recognized territory, and its existence is impossible without external forces on the ground. The definition of weak is pretty stretchy, but certainly it doesn't look strong.
LLM trash is one thing but if you follow OP link all I see is the headline and a giant subscribe takeover. Whenever I see trash sites like this I block the domain from my network. The growth hack culture is what ruins content. Kind of similar to when authors started phoning in lots of articles (every newspaper) or even entire books (Crichton for example) to keep publishers happy. If we keep supporting websites like the one above, quality will continue to degrade.

Several commenters mention tech meetups languishing post-pandemic, but in my experience Meetup is still an awesome way to engage with the non-tech community in various activities from hikes to board games to movies.

This feels extreme? Any chance you could share numbers or more details on these prototypes? I agree that the ecosystem seems crazy fast on moving. I wouldn't have thought it was that bad. React, in particular, I thought had been fairly stable? (Yes, there are new ways of doing things, but most of the old still work there, to their credit.)
As someone with a similar task (building internal tooling) I must agree. HTMX really is a godsend, especially when you are already feeling comfortable writing backend code. In my case I simply familiarized myself with HTMX and augmented the backend code to return HTML. Yeah, it is obviously a little more than that, but the transition was really smooth.
You could use the exact same argument in the other direction: the more layers of management there are above you, the higher the chances a high-level managers will protect your team from armageddon. Sometimes, it's only a matter of a single email or a chat with a CxO.

I stand by my original point: no obvious correlation between company size and quality of life inside it.
We are going to see more of this across the entertainment industry.
We had a 3-5 year window of VC funded profitless content explosion.
Now we are slowly regressing to the trend of low production cost content that has been churned out by ABC/NBC/CBS/FOX/big cable channels for years.

It makes sense in a way as there was a brief moment where despite all the proliferation of streaming services, we were still paying less than peak cable days. So less dollars going on on the income side, against more dollars going out on the cost side.

We will likely see the streamers continue to raise prices, add ads, and also consolidate...
A work-friend and I were musing in our chat yesterday about a boilerplate support email from Microsoft he received after he filed a ticket, that was simply chock full of spelling and grammar errors, alongside numerous typos (newlines where inappropriate, spaces before punctuation, that sort of thing) and as a joke he fired up his AI (honestly I have no idea what he uses, he gets it from a work account as part of some software so don't ask me) and asked it to write the email with the same basic information and with a given style, and it drafted up an email that was remarkably similar, but with absolutely perfect english.

On that front, at least, I welcome AI to be integrated in businesses. Business communication is fucking abysmal most of the time. It genuinely shocks me how poorly so many people who's job is communication do at communicating, the thing they're supposed to have as their trade.
A dream that I had last night involving AI presented an interesting concept
I'll preface this post by explaining that I have some crazy, weird, complicated - sometimes dystopian - dreams. Most have soundtracks that I record when I wake.

Last night's checked all those bullets. Of course I only remember snippets when I wake up.

I was driving through a large tunnel. I was driving one vehicle and a guy and a young woman were driving in a different vehicle. He was sort of directing our operation. I don't remember precisely what the operation was, but wasn't good - like we're trying to escape from something - what exactly I wasn't sure even in the dream. But my sense was that it was some kind of AI agent run amok.

We stopped and walked for a bit to check things out. I scounted ahead and came back. The guy then explained the AI research program that he was involved in at his university. This was the part that I found interesting enough to post to Hacker News.

They had a federated, competitive AI system. Instead of users interacting with a single app, they were interacting with several LLMs within a dashboard. Each LLM was sort of competing to give the best answer, and the user would choose one of them and copy and paste the results into whatever it was they were doing. The AI's were scored based upon how many times their answer was copied and pasted.

Anyway, I'm curious if such federated, competitive AI systems are a real thing.

Interesting idea. Could there be a market for pre-AI era content?
Or maybe it would be a combination of pre-AI content plus some extra barriers to entry for newer content that would increase the likelihood the content was generated by real people?
There were free BBS's, AOL and Compuserve where you would dial in with your modem. I kind of miss those days to be honest.
> Which is relatively low over the past 20 years, and somewhat low compared to other countries with strong economies.

Maybe, but it's not 'extremely low'. See https://www.theglobaleconomy.com/rankings/labor_force_partic... for a global comparison.

Yes, the distribution is important. Alas, the article that you linked is mostly rubbish. Eg their figure 2 is that infamous misleading graph that I commented on in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38953586

They also seem to imply that minimum wage legislation is good for poor people. The evidence is mixed at best. (The original supporters for the introduction of minimum wage laws were more honest, and admitted that it was about cutting black people and cripples etc out of the workforce.)

Figure 9 seems to forget that correlation ain't causation.

> The researchers found that people consider it more legitimate to make passionate employees leave family to work on a weekend, work unpaid, and handle unrelated tasks that were not in the job description.

> The team found passion exploitation consistently across eight studies with more than 2,400 total participants. The studies varied in design, in the participants (students, managers, random online samples) and in the kinds of jobs they considered.

> In one study, participants who read that an artist was strongly passionate about his job said it was more legitimate for the boss to exploit the artist than those who read the artist wasn’t as passionate. This finding extended to asking for work far beyond the job description, including leaving a day at the park with family and cleaning the office bathroom.

I don't see a way to slow down. So they would be travelling thru that solar system at .2c. At that speed, they wouldn't be in that solar system for long.

Imagine this was Proxima Centauri doing the same mission on our solar system. Assuming that some of the swarm was on target enough to go thru the inner solar system:

Mars is ~13 light minutes from the sun. So double that for the whole diameter of the orbit, 26 light minutes. At .2c that's 130 minutes total transit time (less really unless it passes really close to the sun). So probably less than 2 hours total in the inner solar system. And that's assuming you can hit that small of a target from 4.25 light years away.

Light distance Sun-Saturn is 1.3 hours. 2.6 diameter. 13 hour transit time for most of the solar system.

You don't know where the planets actually are going to be, or were to point a camera or any other instrument, except the sun. And you have probes that weigh grams.

That's a tough problem, without considering the laser.

But I like thinking about it.

all other things, like Themes, come second. Anything else are just nice additions.

Moving from IDE/Editor to another IDE/Editor will still have some form of learning curve. I stick with Emacs, based on my comments above.

Sure - my comment is not an Emacs vs Vi thing. I know vi/vim is still popular and, yes, I still use it from time to time when SSH'ing onto a server for a quick config change. I am expecting it to be more popular than emacs. Point is, despite neovim coming around.. I am sure vi (or vim) will still be lurking around in 10 years.. like emacs.

That's as arbitrary of a distinction as many other ones you could try to draw.

With Rails nothing will happen unless you call `run Rails.application` or run the `rails server` command. That doesn't make it a library.
The original C++ proposal [1] discusses some alternative syntaxes, including underscores. Underscores would conflict with C++ user defined literals, for example in 0xAA_BB it is unclear whether _BB is a literal suffix for 0xAA since it’s a valid identifier.

No it's better for an os UI. A web page UI is better with electron where you click on a link an open a page. But floating windows with resizeable and highly dynamic UIs Godot is likely easier, better and much more well suited.

HTML was never intended for dynamic interfaces. Whenever you diverge beyond what it does best which is hypertext, things become more and more hacky and awkward. If you wanted to design an os UI in electron, you would use a framework called react, and you would use a language called JavaScript that compiles down into typescript and you'd need a whole build ecosystem and connect everything together, then you might find HTML to awkward so you have to switch to webgl which is too low level or you might switch to svg... In both cases you miss the text rendering from HTML. If you stick with HTML then you'd be using css to move shit around and create windows which is also incredibly awkward.

People use electron because it's easy. The reason why it's easy is because of familiarity not because of actual superiority.

Web UI is one of the most hacked together technology stacks ever. Developers with nothing better to do keep coming up with new abstractions trying to build for a moving target. It's not unique in this regard but it doesn't change the reality. Godot has the benefit of a very specific design implementation for a target that is highly dynamic and likely will never change. Plus it's new so you don't have armies of developers trying to "abstract" shit on it over years and years of horizontal progress.
>It's the heading of the article on that page, but the actual title,

Yes, I understand that but 99% in this thread talking about "title" is the article's headline(title) that has the word "for" in it "ChatGPT for teams" and not the HTML tags <title>ChatGPT Team</title> or <meta property="og:title">

In other words, people in this thread are not complaining about "ChatGPT Team" in the browser's tab title or confused by it. Instead, they're talking about the other title "ChatGPT for Teams" that was submitted and manually changed from lowercase 't' to uppercase 'T' and prominently visible at the top of this thread. That's the context of this meta discussion about confusing capitalization causing some readers to incorrectly assume the headline is about a new ChatGPT addon feature for MS Teams: (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-teams/group-chat-s...)

The singular "Team" in product name "ChatGPT Team" doesn't cause the same confusion because Microsoft doesn't have a branded product called "Team". That's why citing "<title>ChatGPT Team</title>" ... does not help clarify things and just adds more confusion to this thread.

>Hacker New's code uses the html title element (which in this case is actually a meta element) to automatically title submissions.

Are you sure? In the past, HN commenters have been annoyed that the HN software does not extract and parse the HTML <title> element automatically and defers too much to the titles that submitters manually type in which often leads to editorialization and/or confusion.

I meant "control" in a scientific sense, it's the second most important variable that these articles never mention. Dosage of actives = Potency x Quantity.

If you say that potency of cannabis is 3x higher than it used to be, that's significant, but you need to qualify that by saying how much a typical user would consume in 1 sitting.

1) If people smoke as much as they did in the 70s then they're ingesting 3x as much THC. I believe that this can cause more mental health issues, but it has everything to do with the total consumption of THC, not potency of the product.

2) If they're smoking 1/3rd as much as they did in the 70s then their total THC intake hasn't changed and there must be other explanations for increased mental health issues. Perhaps most notably, severe mental health issues have been on the rise since the dawn of social media.

This lack of nuance makes the article alarmist rather than genuinely informative. It only serves to further perpetuate myths and simplistic takes like "cannabis is unsafe because it's too strong".
The core of the issue seems to be that the graph I posted represents the experience of the median rather than the average worker. The data you suggest as more representative is simply the result of placing CEOs together with factory floor workers. I would argue that for the general perception of the population, the median pay is far more significant than the average one.

Okay I'll elaborate, it's better for community building and answering questions for nascent companies or organizations. A lot of the time there's a big disconnect between a community and how a product is intended to be used.

I built a paper trading app for stocks and options and Discord was the primary place where the users talked. The subreddit was almost completely empty, nobody responded to tweets, the Instagram was thriving but there was no sense of community because you couldn't tell if anyone commenting actually used the product or a meme just showed up in their feed.

Did I have to repeat myself a bunch? Yes, but that's fine, especially because the answer sometimes changed (rapidly), like "No we don't support multiple trading accounts per user" > "Yeah I implemented that last week, it's in the release notes, to add a second account..."

For a mature product that's not changing as much and more or less has all its features built out, it makes sense to branch out into more structured forums that are easily searchable, especially as you progress through different versions and users are looking for answers to past versions.
