Ask HN: What career option is secure investment for next two decades?
As an experienced Frontend engineer, I find this career extremely fluctuating and ruthless at times. Things are constantly changing, with lower barrier of entry, and market flooded with thousands of Frontend engineers.

Can someone please suggest on which career path is safer and stable learning investment for next 10-20 years?
Bluetooth requires a paired device and has range issues.

I'd see the internet connected route as useful for anyone in the household to be able to check notification without having to pair all the phones (and then what if you don't want it on a phone), and getting the notification when outside. Now it would better with a home server dealing with the data, but we're so far from that.

In general I see bluetooth as fine for personal wearables (headphones) and not great when a device is shared (bathroom scales, smart plugs, switches etc)
(1) Pepe the Frog might be a polarizing choice of Mascott

(2) Aren't the case studies supposed to be centered instead of right-aligned?
We can each and every one of us get by on far fewer resources and lead wonderful, fulfilling lives. No citation, that's just a feeling after having grown up in, benefited from (depends on perspective), and now grown disillusioned about consumerism, shucking off expensive hobbies and possessions and prioritizing community.
I have some concerns and questions about what this lower-resource life looks like for people with disabilities (my child, for one, but even before I had a child this was meaningful to me, though not as forefront as now). Does some sort of regulation limiting plastics use to medical devices make sense? And other such limits; we don't need to completely scrap high tech, but we certainly don't all need the level many of us currently enjoy, largely for our entertainment.

This happens a lot: Devices get a new IP address but some tool has an internal database that remembers the old device at that address. It then shows stats for the new device at that IP address but reports it as coming from whatever it was initially recognized as.

(1) It is a rate; that line of thinking doesn't make much sense. I mean, it might change as we get more evidence but if anything it'd probably go down because that is how aerospace industry works. The airlines would fix things.

(2) Am I not a human any more? What do I count as? Flying in a 737 Max is safer than getting vaccinated, I think the Astra Zenica clotting thing was about 50 per million and that was the one I got. We were forcing people to do things that were an order of magnitude more risky than this where I live. At least with a 737 if you don't want to get on one you don't have to.

You can round small numbers. There isn't much of a difference in practice between 1 in a million and 0.1 in a million fatal risks. The odds of it biting you are almost literally 1 in a million.
Yeah. I simplified a little bit too much when writing on a phone.

The shorthand we used when I was more active in flying was "the plane or the crew can't continue (without extensive work)"

'As Sash Tusa, aerospace and defence analyst at Agency Partners, put it: “Since 2013 Boeing has spent $41 billion on share buy-backs and $22 billion on dividends. It now has $39bn of debt, and as a consequence of these management decisions it simply cannot afford to invest in new products. Airbus spent €10bn on buy-backs and dividends over the same period, and has €8bn of net cash – so, it can."'
Learning array languages makes you a better programmer in any other language. The way you think changes. We are taught to approach a problem procedurally. Actually the for loop is your enemy.
Im not taken aback by the current AI hype but having LLMs as an interface to voice commands is really revolutionary and a good fit to this problem. It’s just an interface to your API that provides the function as you see fit. And you can program it in natural language.
It's your problem with not finding out the problem you want to solve.

i agree that assembly is more bug-prone than other languages, but things like internal design and dependencies make a bigger difference. if all your strings are managed with your custom library for dynamically allocated strings, you probably aren't going to have any string buffer overflows because there are only like three places where you could get it wrong. on the other hand, if you're bringing in megabytes of libc code full of string handling, there's lots of potential for bugs

in this case, though, they're linking with sqlite, so all that is out the window

as far as i know, though it's a lot simpler than asmbb, httpdito doesn't have any security holes: http://canonical.org/~kragen/sw/dev3/server.s http://canonical.org/~kragen/sw/dev3/httpdito-readme

as 10000truths points out in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38985198, in assembly you don't have to deal with undefined behavior, and that helps a lot. occasionally you have behavior that varies by implementations, but there's no nasal demons, and in particular you can add two unknown integers without even hitting implementation-defined behavior. and, in theory, you can never guarantee that a c program won't overflow its stack, and i've had this happen in practice on arduino, where it collided with the heap. and signedness bugs (which are commonly security holes; even qmail had one) are plausibly easier to avoid in assembly than in c, though recent compiler versions help with that

Humane vs. Rabbit: Tools and Toys
Why is it sad to pursue something that will never reach perfection? Why is it sad to go on a path literally thousands of people have gone on and have done better than you? Release yourself from these things and you will be much happier.

Music taught me you don't need to be perfect or the best. Music is about connecting with other people. Its much better than computers for that. Its a very "meatspace" realm and while the virtual space has made music more accessible, it will always be firmly fully experienced in the in-person physical world that requires another human being.

I’ve been thinking about this too. And it’s also usually used as a counter-argument to people wanting to get out of their jobs.

However, here’s what I realized: most people work in “regular” 9-5 jobs. That includes “tech people”, who like to think of themselves as artists, but are not. And it takes like 2 decades to get trained to do a regular job if you take into account k-12 (which trains you to be a 9-5 worker and discourages anything else), uni, and the first few years of professional experience.

So is it that surprising that once you get disillusioned with being a 9-5 worker it would take you at the very least few years to figure out how to not be one?

What I’m trying to say is it should be expected to not know what you want to do. Because even getting to the point where you could do what 90% of the population does take a tremendous amount of effort. So once you want to do something else, it will take a while to figure out too. And you can totally fail along the way as well.
You are right about the case studies, they are supposed to be centered but at this point, I am not sure if this is even a good way to preview the case studies.
They used IDO, but GCC was an option, I think.

I don't see a need for this. It's pretty clear SpaceX's approach can scale to real voice and data service. All you need are more satellites and bigger antennas and you'll have something way better than a one way broadcast like satellite radio or something.

SpaceX has launched the current constellation with Falcon 9; Starship will be able to launch much bigger satellites much faster and much cheaper. And it will work over 100% of the Earth's surface (modulo legal issues) with continuous coverage, as Starlink already does. And SpaceX won't be the only ones doing it.
I wouldn't say that. Yes, it's not exactly our modern understanding, but the core idea is the exact same: stars can get big enough that even light, which is super fast, can't escape them, and that was an entirely novel idea in his time.

'Hangxiety': When hangovers cause anxiety
Here's how shit happens! We move to remote working due to a pandemic. Many of my customers do CAD on powerful gear in the office. They also have a ISO14001 registration (environmental standard) or not but want these gas guzzlers shut down at night.

So they want to be able to wake up their PCs and shut them down remotely. I'm already flooded with VPN requirements and the other day to day stuff. I recall an add on for HA for a Windows remote shutdown and I know HA can do "wake on LAN". ... and HA has an app.

I won't deny it is a bit of a fiddle, thanks to MS's pissing around with power management etc. When a Windows PC is shutdown, it isn't really and will generally only honour the BIOS settings once. You have to disable Windows's network card power management and it doesn't help that the registry key referring to the only NIC is sometimes not the obvious one.

Home Assistant has "HACS" for adding even more stuff and one handy addition is a restriction card - https://community.home-assistant.io/t/lovelace-restriction-c...

Anyway, the customer has the app on their phone. They have a dashboard with a list of PCs. Those cards are "locked" via restriction card. You have to unlock the card for your PC which has a switch to turn it on and off. The unlock thing is to avoid inadvertent start ups/down.

That is just one use - two customers so far use that. We also see "I've got a smart ... thing, can you watch it? ... Yes!

Zwave and Zigbee dongles cost very little and coupled with a laptop with probably bluetooth built in and HA, you get a lot of "can I ..."

Good for him. DEI statements are insane zealotry.
I use Podman on Windows. Docker on Windows has been an endless stream of annoyances and frustration for me, starting from the fact everything points you to install an aggressively user-unfriendly GUI that starts up heavyweight processes on boot, nags you to sign up for a cloud account for some reason, and then nags you again that you shouldn't be using this so-called open source product for work anyway. Installing "just the command line" docker as an unsupported alternative is unnecessarily complicated, and last time I tried most WSL VMs didn't even support it out of the box anyway.

Enter Podman, you just winget install podman and it gets out of your way. When you need to run a container, you start up the Podman VM. When you don't, your system behaves exactly as it always did before. If you need to run something in a compose file, podman-compose is there. Maybe it can't handle esoteric configs, but it's worked for my use cases. The only thing Podman doesn't do is integrate with VS Code properly, but honestly the struggle of getting Docker to behave itself on Windows is far more annoying to me than missing some keyboard shortcuts in VS Code, so for me it's not a problem.

I would (and do) recommend Podman as the default solution for containers on Windows. The only reason I can see to use Docker is if your company is paying for it, or if you have a complicated compose setup, in which case it might be worth moving to Kubernetes anyway.

Not all private trackers run a "hard" or "soft" ratio economy as described in this article. Some run with a ratioless economy: seed a downloaded torrent until 1:1 or for X hours, otherwise you receive a "hit and run" (HnR). Too many HnRs on your account = ban.
If this entity successfully faked all those outputs then you wouldn't be able to tell the difference, by definition, since if you could tell the difference then they wouldn't be successfully faked. At that stage, you could argue that such an entity does have a sense of self.

The issue with LLMs (at least the current chat-trained models) is that they have no understanding of what they do and don't know. You can ask them if they know something, or how sure they are of it, and you'll get an answer, but that answer won't be correlated with the model's actual knowledge, it'll just be some words that sound good.
This is great! I would love something like this for Hong Kong. The prices here are very volatile due to special offers, etc.

Founder of Home Assistant here. Great write up!

With Home Assistant we plan to integrate similar functionality this year out of the box. OP touches upon some good points that we have also ran into and I would love the local LLM community to solve:

* I would love to see a standardized API for local LLMs that is not just a 1:1 copying the ChatGPT API. For example, as Home Assistant talks to a random model, we should be able to query that model to see what the model is capable off.

* I want to see local LLMs with support for a feature similar or equivalent to OpenAI functions. We cannot include all possible information in the prompt and we need to allow LLMs to make actions to be useful. Constrained grammars do look like an possible alternative. Creating a prompt to write JSON is possible but need quite an elaborate prompt and even then the LLM can make errors. We want to make sure that all JSON coming out of the model is directly actionable without having to ask the LLM what they might have meant for a specific value.

There is no counter data or study provided. What side are you choosing to believe?
Usually it's not a full-blown DSL, but a good set of data structures, interfaces, and functions, all implemented within some general-purpose language.

Usually you need to have your data model right, and all else follows more easily.

My first Amazon order was a camera case in September 2002. I have no memory of this layout.

It’s interesting they partnered with Target and Toys R Us to round out the store. Too bad they don’t still do that (parter with legitimate retailers to run their online presence) and instead have shady 3rd party sellers pushing junk with AI generated titles and descriptions.
I got an error. Is your site up?
It's actually the inverse. In practice Nintendo has allowed all of these projects to exist, some have speculated that it's because Nintendo cares more about the assets or that Nintendo focus more on taking away more direct routes of piracy. It's true that it makes little difference right now, but I don't think publishing decompiled code is good practice or a good habit for the game decompilation scene to get into.

I initially got a $100 one, but ended upgrading to an Asus model with a touch screen and built in battery. It can run everything (video and charging the display) over a single USB-C cable.

I used to travel with it and sometimes a gaming desktop, but these days I use it around the house whenever I need a display & mouse for a server that doesn’t have a dedicated monitor. Just today I did a BIOS update with it.

This is the one I got on Amazon in 2020, there might be better options in 2024:

i suspect you mean i386, not x32; x32 is an almost unused abi added in 02011 for 64-bit amd and compatible processors, available with gcc -mx32. https://lwn.net/Articles/548838/ talks a bit about its early adoption

it's so little used that i can't find the abi documentation, but gcc -c -mx32 does seem to generate code that passes arguments in registers, not on the stack, contrary to your assertion

I think it means on average they can transmit 30% more current since they know the temperature of the lines for a given load, ambient temp, and air speed.

It doesn’t help on a hot day with no wind.

The transmission systems I have seen mimic geography - mostly transmitting power from generators to loads such as big cities. It is more of a radial or hub and spoke architecture than a matrix or grid.
This rhetoric is dangerous especially if made wide spread by social media.

There are so many examples of how research is hindered by closed source companies. The recent paper on "are emergent abilities of LLM a mirage?" also hints at how the closed nature of OpenAI and their refusal to share discoveries is an obstacle.
Those extensions were just glorified api clients / web browsers. This is akin to a company threatening the developer of a torrent client.
This is incredible, what a harbinger. This is a great dissection of how things went wrong. A number of other companies have also followed this narrative, albeit not as memorably
They are measuring the temperature out on the line
> Everything was part of the army back then

…except the Navy and Marine Corps, which was the original point. A large part of the Second World War was fought by the naval services, despite those services being outside the Department of War. During the war, overall coordination of the military was not carried out by the War Department but rather via the Joint Chiefs of Staff and through ad hoc high level coordination between Army and Naval command. In particular, command in the Pacific theater was split between General Douglas MacArthur Admiral Chester Nimitz (with the ground operations under Nimitz being primarily carried out by Marines). The difficulties caused by this approach were the primary motivation for the reorganization of the American military into a unified Department of Defense.

I am well aware that the Army Air Forces were a very large part of the Army during the Second World War. However, the Navy and Marines also had tens of thousands of airplanes, none of which were under the control of the War Department or the Army Air Forces. It’s a little misleading to claim the War Department controlled the “entire air force” when they only controlled the Army Air Forces and not naval aviation.

The War Department controlled the Army and the Army Air Forces, which were part of the Army at the time, so it’s just as correct and a lot quicker to say that the War Department was only in charge of the Army. It wasn’t in charge of the Navy and Marines, and it wasn’t even in charge of fighting wars because we needed the Navy and Marines to help fight wars and they were under a different department. Which, again, was the reason for forming the Department of Defense in the first place.

When the Air Force became an independent service during the postwar military reorganizations, they actually tried (and failed) to take over naval aviation; to this day the United States Navy has a larger air force than most countries.
