This is it. Add to the fact that poor managers don't really understand or know what their staff are doing, it gives them anxiety. If the same poor manager is in an office with them and can see them at their desk then it alleviates that somewhat.

Managing people is really really hard, but we seem to have a managerial class who seem to be getting away with doing it very poorly.
It seems most people designing an ISA will do RISC, but when I designed the ISA for the Vircon32 CPU I instead took 32-bit x86 as a basis. I had done ASM in MS-DOS so it was what I knew best. I simplified it a lot in various ways but one of them was key: it cannot split registers to use 8 or 16 bit data. This alone was enough for me to reduce the opcode list to just 64 (6 bits, so no unused opcodes). And that is even adding a few math instructions to handle floats.
Agree they're different, but it's important not to miss the first point:

> Majority of apps are small

I'd like to see some data on it, but intuitively that resonates. The lighthouses of UI frameworks - notably React & Angular - emerged from the needs of big apps, with 100s of people, and structures that delineate front-end and back-end teams. The organisations behind the frameworks - Google, Meta - are very influential in setting industry direction. So those frameworks become "the way to do UI". That doctrine spreads through the community, and the context of origin and use is occluded.

If htmx or similar drives a re-think then that's healthy to me. My own experience is with lots of comparatively small apps. Plain old server-side rendering hits the 80/20 for most, and something like htmx might move that indicatively to ~90/10. Which is attractive because it means 1 tech stack and comparatively less requirement for hard delineation of skills in dev teams.

It's not saying "throw away React/Angular/..., you never need them". There are clearly situations where they're a good fit. Where fit means both organisational and technical. But they're not a good fit in every case.

I can't help thinking if this is DIY "bed," what is homemade "soup?"
Seconded. For reference, I have experience with this kind of scenario first hand (helping care, and living with, somebody with dementia combined with complete immobility and many other things making the quality of life for absolutely everybody involved worse). I hope that with time we become more comfortable with euthanasia, most of us in the scenario found it to be the right choice, but society goes against it.
People also said this to me when I had a S7, my mom then got a S10e a year after it's release. It's UI was only slightly less worse than the S7.
I came up with 'Yaks', plural of a type of beast of burden/farm animal. Probably not the solution, but I didn't see the solution on the post, just a Swedish word suggested. What was the solution decided on?

Ok, I conflated 'looks like' with 'sounds like'. Still curious about the solution though.
That's like a gamma ray burst hitting the planet and just vaporizing it. So unlucky. But obviously fate had other ideas.
"Associated data" is a point I would not have immediately thought of. As data becomes more and more connected and services consolidated this becomes more important to consider.
Another EV hit piece.

From the article:

> Electric cars lose as much as half of their value after just three years on the road

https://motorway.co.uk/sell-my-car/guides/car-depreciation-g...

> The average car depreciation will hit hardest in the first year of ownership. Generally, the drop will be around 15-35% in the first 12 months. And that will continue to rise up to 50% or more over three years.
Year 1: 15-35% depreciation. 65-85% of the original value.
Year 3: 40-60% depreciation. 40-65% of the original value.
Year 5: 60-70% depreciation. 30-40% of the original value.
Year 8-10: 80% depreciation. 20% of the original value.

Oh no, standard depreciation within the expected range! How will we cope?

> Research from Auto Trader said there were “unsustainable levels of depreciation” in the electric car market, with used prices of battery-powered vehicles dropping by 23pc in the last year alone.

Is this because some of them are new models, and the average age is increasing? One article like this made mention of the Model X as one of the highest depreciation. It’s basically no longer sold in the UK (you can get one but the steering wheel is on the wrong side) so therefore the only cars on the market are getting older with no new ones to keep the price up.

> Campaigners have said motorists will continue to find electric cars too expensive without government subsidies, which ended in 2022, or other incentives such as cuts to VAT.

So which is it? Too expensive or too cheap?
Both Polish and English samples are actually synthesized with a voice trained on the WolneLektury audiobooks. They are the highest quality open source (CC BY-SA) audiobooks I could find.

By using the Whisper-derived phonetic representation (so called semantic tokens) we successfully trained a model with just a high-quality speech dataset of one language and the voice quality transferred to English.
I think this is largely it - the whole maker vs. manager thing... when your job relies on focus, being in a situation where you can control distractions is a benefit. But when your job relies on getting others' attention it can clearly be a negative, esp. if the culture is not thoroughly supportive.

It also adds an extra hurdle for those who aren't particularly skilled at management.
Just curious, which rule is that? This is the only one I could see about parentheses - https://prettier.io/docs/en/options.html#arrow-function-pare...

My daughter figured out how to do something in Roblox on her own (i.e. without my help) when she was 10 y.o. or something like that. So yes, the barrier is pretty much non-existent.

And it's possible to make pretty decent games with it. Like I saw FNAF on Roblox recently. If somebody told me it's a standalone game made by professionals in Unreal engine, I would have believed. It looks good.
For the longest time I had memorised the weird dpmi commands to enable 13h mode and get the screen buffer address. I don't think I can remember anymore.

Good times :)

What I did last time I had my kid over at work:

I need to work so I open my laptop to work.

I have a spare, that I connect to a monitor in an empty space besides-me and fire up https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/makecode

Let my kid choose some exercise. If she is stuck she asks me, or I ask her if I should help. We talk shop. She makes animated holiday-card.

I can still have reasonable ammount of focus at work, while at the same time it feels we are making a thing together.

I would avoid anything heavier - i.e. it is said that you don't really have mental capacity to fully understand coding until you are ~11? From other things - scratch exists, I had some success with laying around with Hedy with her, 3d modeling - I would go for tinker-cad that is very simple and geared to make 3d-printable stuff, or blender because it is free and I still remember how to use it from my uni-courses - as 3d modeling gives you immediate feedback-loop.
> for the rest of us we generally have to trust what we read or the experts that we pay for their assessments.

Rest assured, I'm in with you in the rest of us. As you said, we have to trust the experts: that's why we pay them!

I do concede that, concerning climate change, too many articles and reports switch perniciously from science to politics, with no warning. E.g. "Global temperature are rising [science], and fossil fuels are a big part of it [science], thus we have to cut off fossil fuels [politics]".

Now, if you decide to fight for your petrol guzzling pickup that you objectively don't need, I'm not sure I'll side with you, but I'll get your point. And if you insist on flying on your holidays instead of going to the local pons, I'll get your point again. In general, I'll side with you that people at large must have the last word on what actions to take and which part of comfort to give up.

But you don't believe in global warming, and you don't believe in the role of fossil fuels: those are facts, this is what experts have been screaming for decades. If you don't feel your daily life reflects what experts are saying, you are welcome to ask for help in understanding what you are getting wrong. But you don't put your limited experience over the enormous corpus of studies that have been performed for decades all around the world: that would be idiot!
Funny,

first time you will hear about this and last time.

I'm curious how those companies have budget for playing around and why they believe they will be relevant enough to have any impact on daily life for anyone at all?
Layoffs are poorly handled by Sundar Pichai
One of the stated benefits of this is "single binary"... but then it waffles on about using docker.

Why would you bother running this in a container if it's already a self contained binary?
I have been following the bootstrapping (aka "Trust") project for years.

And everything went down the drain once gcc did switch to c++. One of the biggest mistakes in open source software (it was done on purpose probably to increase dev/vendor lock).

You need to be able to compile gigantic SDKs that in order to compile the "chain" of compilers, starting from gcc 4.7.4. Everything would be clean if gcc stayed simple and plain C (max C99), as it should have always been.

Hopefully, that was not something pushed at the MIT at gcc steering committee via B.Gates "donations", facilitated by the pedophile Epstein, wasn't it?

And now rust, which has a syntax even more horrible than c++ is coming to linux already plagged by gcc extensions? ofmg...

All that is so accutely bad, I am resisting bearely to conspiracy theories.

It is a personal, minimalistic blog that someone else submitted to HN. The argument that the bed fire risk comes mostly from smoking in bed seems straightforward so maybe they did not feel a need to spell it out.

While on the topic of fire hazards "[s]heep farming emits high volumes of methane, a potent greenhouse gas, and also drives carbon-emitting deforestation"[0] both which, I add, contributes to climate change which increases the likelihood and impact of forest fires which put human lives at risk.

Not hard enough. The problem with this model is that it would be vendor agnostic and no one wants to be the "dumb pipe". Everyone wants to own the entire system, ergo, proprietary payment systems (Google/Apple/Samsung/Microsoft/... Pay).
> The BSD Daemon was first drawn in 1976 by comic artist Phil Foglio. Developer Mike O'Brien, who was working as a bonded locksmith at the time, opened a wall safe in Foglio's Chicago apartment after a roommate had "split town" without leaving the combination. In return Foglio agreed to draw T-shirt artwork for O'Brien, who gave him some Polaroid snaps of a PDP-11 system running UNIX along with some notions about visual puns having to do with pipes, demons/daemons, forks, a "bit bucket" named /dev/null, etc.[3] Foglio's drawing showed four happy little red daemon characters carrying tridents and climbing about on (or falling off of) water pipes in front of a caricature of a PDP-11 and was used for the first national UNIX meeting in the US (which was held in Urbana, Illinois).

Wow, Phil Foglio as well? The origin story gets even more interesting. Here is a page that features the original artwork: http://www.mckusick.com/beastie/shirts/usenix.html

Generally, I think of public as within spitting distance of private where I live now. I could drop variance further and maybe bring up expected value by going private, but it'd be expensive. Especially because private costs are per kid.

Had I the chance to redo a bunch of things, I might have stayed in the city and gone the private route years ago for any kid with a sufficiently bad random NYC DOE draw. One of those "what ifs?".
The tube feeding and pain meds are artificial life support measures in my mind. But then again I’ve never had a child or experienced anything remotely like this so it is easy to be glib and pick on logic. I’m in my sixth decade so I’m petty sure I’d feel the same way you do. I would not want to have a living altar, that term just made my jaw drop after such beautiful articulation.
Show HN: Myriad – A scalable AI writing prompt to rule them all
A few months ago I got tired of editing and managing prompts that all use different techniques.

So I decided to figure out how to build an all-in-one writing prompt that’s more reliable, scalable, and flexible for any content needs, with less editing needed.

I wanted it to still rely on natural language, but not be as dependent on it. What I ended up with is a mixture of natural language and a system of rules that you tell the AI to follow.

The rules give more fine-grained control, let you skip writing paragraphs of text to explain it to the AI, and make it possible to quickly have the AI verify its work. It’s optimized for ChatGPT, but also works with other AIs like Bard, Copilot, and Llama.

With the included generator, all it takes is a few clicks to build one.
I don't think the majority in that list has set a limit for bills, only for coins
I'd say the bias is in a coincidence: The tories have recently changed policies to something that benefits from that kind of story, but isn't really a core, traditional or classic tory policy.

Also, the 23% sounds be a bit misleading. They suggest that it's due to the EVs that were bought. I think it's four factors: The usual drop, plus the reasons they have in mind, plus price pressure from new EVs that are dropping in price, plus price pressure from competition with new EV models (ie. the number of EV models on offers is increasing). Maybe they just forgot to mentiont the last two.
I guess it depends on how you're defining "great" LLM performance and "CPU performance supremacy versus Apple"

Personally I would say "borderline-acceptable performance" with a 7B parameter model at 4-bit quantisation is nowhere near "great" or "supremacy". You can fit that on ~7GB of RAM, using your grandpa's 2016-era nvidia 1080.

To take the ARM-CPU-LLM-performance crown from Apple you have to beat a fully equipped M2 Max, which provides 96GB of memory with 400GB/s of bandwidth. That's enough to run 70B parameter models in 4-bit quantisation, and it can go toe-to-toe with a dual-nvidia-4090 system that draws a kilowatt of power.
This is a great loss, and we should perform or listen to PDQ Bach's loss-lieder to mourn.
My personal feeling is that just stacking 4 things together is not DIY while deciding on the ingrediants, buying them, preparing them and than cooking it, is a lot more effort.

It would feel more DIY if the blog post would answer questsions like how the sleep quality is, what/if experiments were done etc.
To be honest it sounds like you've swallowed an econ 101 textbook along with a few libertarian talking points. I was just waiting for you wheel out Deadweight loss.

The problem with modelling this as a tax is that... it's not a tax in a pure sense. Apple has partly built the product that you're selling. You're building on their hardware with their libraries and their APIs and their servers and their quality control. They want compensation for that.

Now you can argue what level of compensation is fair, and as you point out, its a free market and you even have an option to use a different technology to build you product. The alternative is that Apple doesn't collect this cut of the profits and you have to actually engage in what that means.

Why would they build APIs for you? Why would they distribute your app at all. What happens for example if we pass a law tomorrow saying "Sorry Apple, you can only collect enough for credit card fees".

Well one option is Apple just closes the store, hires a couple hundred high quality developers and builds out their own library of Apps, take 100% of the revenue. No tax in that situation! But I'm not sure it's a better outcome for developers.
Gates is flat-out lying, because Microsoft is notorious for managing its earnings, just in the opposite direction of GE:

https://www.cringely.com/2009/01/22/bob-the-impaler/

> The real problem at Microsoft is one that every other public company would love to have – they make too much profit. So unlike every other public company, Microsoft traditionally manages its earnings not by cutting expenses but by increasing spending. It’s a legacy technique invented years ago by legendary CFO Frank Gaudette and embraced by Bill Gates and Jon Shirley because it accomplished the task of meeting Wall Street expectations, allowed the company to hide spectacular true profit margins, while still generally keeping anti-trust officials off Microsoft’s back.

This is exactly what I mean. Why would I ignore the potential environmental impact so easily? What you just wrote reads to me as "Don't bother actually trying to figure out what impact your choice has, just choose on other factors and therefore still feel good about yourself".

Now, in this case, I know the amount of water used in the production of cotton is huge. Just look at the Aral sea (or rather what is left of it).

In the article it says this

> Farmed sheep don’t live as long as they naturally would and experience varying degrees of exploitation in their lifetime.

Okay, fair enough. Now suppose I source my wool from sheep that are kept well, but have shorter lifespans. If I'd then switch to cotton, I'd contribute to entire ecosystems being impacted due to water usage.

So what is the morally correct choice? Is there one? Can we as consumers even actually make an educated call here? I really do hope the answer to the latter is yes, but certainly isn't straightforward to me.

Hi, WhisperSpeech dev here.

Thanks for all the nice comments, I was working really hard on this model for quite a few months now but there are still a lot of ways we can make it better.

Thanks to generosity of Collabora this is a real open-source project (not just a one-time marketing ploy), so if you want to help improve it or integrate it into something you are building, I'd love to help.

You can also buy our undivided engineering attention if you have a business use-case. :)
Just a quick note - I added both the books and checked out immediately from the two different urls in the comments and placed the order - before going to the home page. There was a discount option if you buy both the books together - which it did not apply at the checkout. So if you are buying both the books, do it from the homepage.
Great job on the product as well as the webpage!

> There is no "one" thing that makes JavaScript or Python run fast.

IIRC, The M series processors were explicitly designed with extra instructions for commonly used JS functionality. Compilers for that platform can rely on such instructions for other languages as well.

Also, SPARC was designed to run C code fast - a function call would require little more than moving the register window to preserve the caller's context. Because of that, calling a function had a very small penalty compared to other architectures of the time.
