I wonder how Lockheed used to manage their successful projects like U2, which was delivered ahead of schedule and under budget. Joel Spolsky used to say that FogCreeks didn't need much project management because pretty much all the dependencies can be mocked out, so everyone would make progress in parallel. If someone needs to know where the project is, well, there will be plenty of offline channels for that. Daily meetup is silly.
It's not in its infancy. The fundamental problems regarding algorithms and data structures, OS theory and formal language theory are well understood and have articles on Wikipedia. We know Amdahl's law, the CAP theorem and the ABA problem.

The problem is the explosive decentralised development of tools, languages and frameworks under a hyper-competitive neoliberal economic system. Someone invents a language to lock programmers to their platform. Another programmer creates a tool to transpile that language to their half-assed dialect of another language. This leads to a huge problem of entropy and inefficiencies at all levels.

Why not both? Not at the same time, of course.

Neither is exclusive of the other. I'd start with React, since it's 80% of the market. But, once you feel comfortable with that, move on to learning Vue.

Also, it's worth it to consider looking at Svelte. If anything is going to take a chunk out of React's market share in the future, it will be Svelte or something that looks like it.

Remember that there's no limit to what you can learn, one step at a time.

A better analogy for software engineering is search. Given our current position and a desired change, we search for a solution in the fog. Analogies to other problem domains often fall short as search doesn’t feature as prominently.

I get what you're trying to say, but the context of the Christmas truces is more complicated than just mutual benefit:

There was a huge disconnect between the leadership of the respective armies and the rank-and-file soldiers dying in the trenches. So it wasn't just "its Christmas, we shouldn't be killing each other", it was also "we have no idea why we are fighting in the first place, and our leaders think it more important that we die than that we win." It was deliberate insubordination to what the soldiers understood was pointless wasting of their lives.

I think the correct analogy is if the workers of Airbus and Boeing both struck because the two companies had both adopted new business practices in the name of business competition, that simply killed workers and passengers without providing either with any kind of competitive advantage.

If you're still saying things like "there is no viable path except nuclear power" in 2024, then you're not paying any attention to what's happening in the world right now. There is literally no economic path to deploying enough nuclear to make a difference right on the timescales necessary to fight climate change, while renewable construction is on an exponential tear (particularly in China). Storage costs are also dropping on an exponential curve. Meanwhile nuclear costs and deployment aren't seeing anything similar.

We know scientifically that exercise is important. I highly doubt the same level of evidence exists for the importance of these short meetings.

Also, if your boss tells you to read the emails, and you don't, then you can get fired. You can't get fired from your job for not exercising. If you can ignore the emails and not get fired, that's proof in itself that the emails are not important, at least not to your boss.
Umeboshi onigiri reliably does not have fish broth ingredients.
You would need a lake sized insulated reservoir for that to work. Too much water is used already by those systems, they don't typically want to add another storage. Typically they are gigawatt scale systems burning something because just using electricity is too much strain on grid, unless you have a power plant nearby (like cogeneration, which uses waste heat from electricity generation from fossil fuels).
Good job! Some of these apps have been pure pleasure to use.
FireWire had IP networking stacks in Windows and OS X in 2007. You could daisy chain a bunch of devices together to share a network connection.
I think it will be very hard to do that when the other big players move their apps off the store. They will be effectively forced to download apps like WhatsApp and Instagram from wherever Meta puts them. The net result is more hassle, more risk, and worse privacy and security for them. How is that a win?
Vue is better, but it's also dead.

So learn React.

It's hard for me to imagine how big the rural Areas in America are.

Part of that is that the most vast vastnesses are not rural. They are wildernesses.

Humans don't live in them. And they don't have infrastructure to encourage or facilitate visitors.

In the US, you can't drive a car, ride a bicycle, fly a drone, or sail a sailboat in a designated wilderness. You can ride a horse or burro, however. But need to carry feeds free of invasive species seeds.

Then there are vast public lands where you can in theory ride a bicycle, etc. but climate and terrain make it a bad idea for most people. Much of the Mojave Desert for example (maybe search HN for "Death Valley Germans" if you want a rabbit hole to dive down).

Then there is Alaska, where airplane is the most practical and often only means of travel to and from and within.

Or to put it another way, if you thought of Siberia as part of Europe, then the scale of Europe would be more like the scale of the US. But it seems Western Europeans usually mean Western Europe when they say "Europe." And not the Balkan countries, let alone Azerbaijan.
Which low-cost heating hacks work?
It's insane to consider people suffering from malnutrition, lack of education, food scarcity, lack of access to healthcare as "entitled brats". I just don't even understand how one comes to that conclusion.
Question away, your questioning is noted.

Nuclear has a long lead time. Setting aside safety concerns, any realistic shift to accelerating nuclear would not help us much in the 10 year range. If we are most concerned about tipping points, which tbh appear real but impossible to predict, a nearer term but less effective shift to renewables would be warranted.

When I say “realistic” I mean in the current political and cultural climate. If we posit that we can do anything we want, dictator-style, that’s a thought experiment. At which point I’m totally with you: latest designs, aggressive funding and incentives for both r&d and actual projects, etc. That’d complement the progress we’ve made with renewables.
Mellanox connect-x 3 probably.
Nuclear probably has a place in phasing out fossil fuels, but the idea that its the only solution for every situation and nothing else is worth talking about is as idiotic as writing off nuclear altogether. We need a price on carbon and individual actors in the market should decide what alternative is best for their given situation. Picking a specific technology and then trying to force on everyone is inefficient and needlessly expensive regardless of which technology you choose. The world is complicated and there are almost never silver bullets. Especially in this case.

I've been using LLMs to discuss fairly challenging topics and have had some success. Here are a few hints:

1) Assume that LLMs work like improvisational actors in that they are in the mode of saying, "Yes, and...". By that I mean that they will mostly agree with what you write without providing a real critique of your ideas unless so prompted. If you don't ask critical questions the AI will happily entertain crazy ideas. I bet I could get it to happily act as if it believed the moon is made of cheese with sufficient prompting effort.

2) Use multiple session to explore and discuss separate topics. Use your "main context" with purpose.

3) Ask a series of "warm up" questions. I've found that the quality of reasoning differs immensely whether the AI has been discussing a topic. Asking a question, then asking the AI to continue (several times), then asking it to reconsider it's responses seems to create the required knowledge graph network that is required for a pretty good response.

4) Some LLM's will eventually either stop working or start to slow down as their context becomes filled. I've found the best way around this is to ask one AI to generate concise prompts with minimal formatting to help another AI get up to speed. Don't let it get too meta though. Two AI's will happily "fluff" each other's ego and get nothing done over a series of dozens prompts.

5) Use "Less Meta." as a command when an AI talks about how to do something instead of actually doing it.

6) Pay attention when an AI says it cannot do something. It might start lying to you if you continue to push it.
Probably colder then. Even though its a warmer temperature than the air, you are going to transfer heat faster by touching a solid than air. Faster heat transference is perceived as cold. Similar to how a stone floor will feel colder than a wood floor of the same temperature, because the stone absorbs heat faster than wood. Remember you aren't feeling how hot or cold something is. You feel your skins temperature right next to it.
This is a pretty surprising ruling, and I dont think the negative implications are being oversold.

The court is saying that not developing a better product is negligence, even if the existing product provides value and is FDA approved.

I would be interested in understanding what the judges feel the the limiting principle here is. Almost every product can be improved on, if development cost and return on investment is not a valid consideration.

What language does he program in? ChatGPT and CoPilot have increased my productivity, sure, but I don't know if they've multiplied it by 2, and definitely not 3. I mostly program in Rust, and while they are good, they still often produce things that don't compile. Iterating back and forth to get something that works takes time, and it feels to me like sometimes doing it alone would've been almost as quick.

I could possibly be way off in my estimations, though. A true comparison would be having me do a task with and without it, but of course once I've done it once, the next time I will do it faster.

Yeah, I see what you mean - that'd indeed render this method ineffective. Like you said I'm sure this would bother a lot of customers, but it's not a completely unrealistic overhaul of S3 pricing.

That being said, that'd be sort of "mean" of AWS to do - the data is already replicated across AZs whether you pay for it or not because of how S3 works.

> On an individual household scale, I've always wondered why nobody has come up with basic drain heat exchangers to capture most of the heat coming out of shower and washing machine wastewater before it leaves the building.

Supposedly it saves about 50% of the loss heat. Since I dislike hasty showers, I figured that would save me plenty.

> I'm amazed at how little district heating is used in northern climates

In my country we can pick our own electricity and gas provider, but for district heating you're tied to the provider for your area. Consequently, people with district heating get fleeced. When buying a house, I gave preference to the ones without district heating.
It will be interesting to see if Facebook decides to release their own app store, replete with all of the tracking that Apple had been taking away. If they make their apps only available through that kind of custom app store and then "encourage" FB/Insta/WhatsApp users to migrate, it defeats the walled garden.

Things could change massively in four years, but I'd head into it with the "I'm going to get a degree in the USA and then return/head to the EU" - with that mentality, then the opportunity to stay on becomes not something to lose but potentially a happy bonus.

One huge advantage is being bilingual - you may be able to play that up and get something out of it, especially as more and more companies have overseas operations.

This is a great question!

If they have severance, they may want to take some time to decompress or they may be antsy from not having coded in a week. So the answer is likely to depend on the person.

One thing that may be useful is to collect resources about programs in your state for displaced workers. For example, if they were interested in taking AI-related courses at a local college, in many states there are badly-publicized programs that could let them do that for free. Checking in on how their filing-for-unemployment experience goes once severance runs out might also be useful: it can be an overwhelming amount of paperwork, especially in states that use making it hard to get as a way to keep their spending down.

Networking can often be miserable and overwhelming, but meeting with our former-coworkers that we actually like can be fun while doing the same good things for our career. After the initial shock fades, consider hosting an event of some kind, whether that's a dinner party at your home, a trip to a local aquarium, an MMORPG guild, or a hobby-coding night at a local library (most libraries have community spaces you can use for free: you just have to ask.) Invite a mix of people you think will get along and have good conversations. Consider child-friendly events, child care, or taking some time off & scheduling during the school day if your coworkers have children.

It can be very lonely after getting laid off, especially if one had been working long hours. Building a small community of nerds who get together even if you are no longer working together 40+ hours a week can help that loss from becoming overwhelming.
Of course. Different levels of resolution reveal different details, and 2. was the ultimate zoom-out.

Still, I believe keeping the directionality in mind helps with perspective – even as turbulent whirls and eddies appear to float upstream, miraculously, temporarily.

This is a fantastic story. I hated all of the named characters just because of their names. I heard their east coast upper middle-class accents, I pictured their suburban homes and pools, their casual day-drinking.

In fact, I hated the writing because it reminded me of Salinger and felt almost like a rip-off of the same aesthetic. In many ways it felt like it would have fit in with Nine Stories.

But somehow it kept me reading and now that I'm done I see it as a really brilliant story. It is so obvious in retrospect, from a jaunty fantasy to a gut-punch stripping away of American life. It is just a fantastic idea from conception to execution.

I see a direct connection from this kind of story to David Foster Wallace and then onto Charlie Kaufman. It is surreal, cynical, and nihilistic. I now want to read more of this man's work.
Agree with all of this. As a single parent though it’s hard to find the free time - for me, only during school hours (work time) or if I explicitly arrange child care, which is rare because well, usually I want to and am doing activities with my kid.

Being a younger dad relative to my kids age, it has been very isolating and challenging to find anyone who shares my lifestyle, my responsibilities, who can really understand the stage of life I am in. They are usually either very pre-kid and enjoy life independently, without much awareness or desire thereof to the responsibility of parenthood, or, they are on the opposite end and fully settled down and have forgotten what a city looks like after dark.
If everyone knows that, surely the AI knows that?

Not the commenter but it's just a interesting premise. It's an old King who's experienced every earthly pleasure in existence (food, wine, servants, women, etc.) who is looking back on his life and writing a letter to his son. He is basically despairing that all of these things were in vain and that they don't mean anything now that he is old, etc.
It doesn't really have a clean payoff or moral either, the premise is basically "life sucks, pleasure is fleeting, and then you die".

>, there is nothing that stops Apple from throwing up a ton of warnings for apps that didn't come from their App Store. [...] Pop a warning every single time it accesses contacts or location, don't allow third party apps outside the App Store to be granted ongoing permissions to anything, etc.

But then why wouldn't EU later consider those high-friction "warnings" and security firewalls to be anti-competitive because it doesn't let 3rd-party apps be on equal footing as Apple's Official App Store?

Is there precedence from previous rulings analogous to this Apple situation to predict what EU would pursue depending on how Apple follows the "letter of the law" instead of the "spirit of the law"?
