> That told me all I needed to know about the moderation of this site.

In that case you drew a general conclusion from a freak accident so rare that I doubt it had happened in the 17 years this site has been around. (Edit: 17 years this month in fact! https://web.archive.org/web/20070221033032/http://news.ycomb...)

If what you require from an internet forum is that the moderators under no circumstances will ever commit a copy/paste error, HN is definitely below your standards.

Edit: the mods would like to share that they weren't drunk when they made that mistake, just rushed and watching a rather gripping tennis final.

It's not quite as bad, but for this price in 2024, you'd expect better than having no peripheral vision. Having tried many headsets, I'd rate the Vision Pro's FOV as mid-tier at best.

Is a good place to start.

You want to find people who need something, then build it. Not the other way around.

As far as finding a co-founder, I'd reach out to people you worked with and enjoyed. Don't forget it is like getting married without the sex, so not something to enter into casually.

TL;DR: Starting with AR overlay monitors + mouse would simplify deliverables to focus on hard technical hurdles could be the focus

IMO, some of what you mentioned is contradictory. That's not a bad thing. For example, virtual monitor and gesture-based headset-only devices might have different use cases. It's like the difference between a an iPhone, iPad, and ARM-based Mac. All might share software and hardware components, but they're each good at very different things.

To my understanding, focusing on the virtual monitors first has a number of benefits:

* Simplify deliverables and OS integration significantly

* Help developers by providing cheaper multi-monitor setups

* Dogfooding

* Get certain technical parts (foveated rendering, etc) right before trying to nail new input methods

I'm unsure why my sibling comments seem to think the sentence ends at "sum".

Is it possible to buy a real friendship for $20k? Is a friendship of many years worth more to you than $20k - would you stop being friends if someone else offered you that much to do so?

This isn't a paltry sum of money, it is a paltry sum to end a friendship over.
This is crazy, surely a mechanical engineer would look over every aspect of something so fundamental as the car's wheel and the parts attached to it at a _car company_?

How do you miss something like this at a company that size with something safety critical and obvious to a professional engineer? And then it doesn't get caught in review, or in testing (supposing they even did any)?

Then again in the past few weeks we've seen Boeing and Philips fuck up seemingly trivial things.
I thought it odd that the language bindings didn't include the most popular langage, Python. In fact, Python seems not to be mentioned at all in the linked page. So I'm wondering, is it

1) Because the developers of Pkl are Python haters

2) Because the developers of Pkl are so overawed by Python that they can't imagine Pkl contributing anything useful to the Python ecosystem

In either case, having suffered so much using Ansible and its excrable YAML scripting, I may use Pkl together with Python.

You're talking about this submission:

NASA System Predicts Impact of a Small Asteroid over Germany - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39126705 - Jan 2024 (18 comments)

It was downweighted because it was a dupe (or quasidupe) of this:

That's the system functioning as intended. We work hard to try to prevent repetition from taking over the site, because repetition is the enemy of curiosity (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so...).

One thing I've learned today, after 11 hours of posting in this thread, is that it's easy to look at an article in isolation and say "Really? That got moderated?" - when in fact if you know the larger context there's nearly always a straightforward explanation.

One can certainly argue that 86 points and 46 comments is too low a threshold to treat the repost as a dupe, but that's a different question, no?
I feel like the analogy isn't a service to the problem.

It's got all sorts of baggage and expectations pertaining to homeownership that don't carry over into migration. I feel it'd just be better to address the problem space directly and ask what specific problems you observe/predict with immigration.

The problem I'm inferring from your comment here would also seem to apply to families moving from Chicago to Boston. And what's funny is that people actually do complain about this (our mayor is from Chicago), but it's for nonsensical reasons in my experience.
The author made the choice to depart from a literally implementing a Markov model. That's a practical choice, but not strictly necessary if you're not worried about practicality. I think you're getting hung up on engineering decisions made to actually implement a language model, versus the theory.

In the same section, the author says:

> The difference between this second-order-with-skips and a full umpteenth-order model is that we discard most of the word order information and combinations of preceeeding words. What remains is still pretty powerful.

This implies that sure, you could hypothetically do an umpteenth-order model, but dropping down to something that approximates it "is still pretty powerful".

Thanks for the link, by the way! I'm definitely going to read through the whole thing. I'm desperately trying to understand this technology.

Microsoft has never been good in either consumer electronics or advertising (social media).

Modifying existing ELFs can also be extremely educational and fun. It's a bit frustrating at first because it's more or less impossible to debug this stuff when it doesn't work but when things finally start working it's awesome. Turns out it's possible to patch ELFs in all sorts of interesting ways. With the auxiliary vector you can even have introspection at runtime: Linux gives us the address of the program header table and from there you can get to anywhere. Just gotta extend a LOAD segment to cover the whole binary.

For example I wrote tools to embed lisp modules and code right into my lisp's interpreter executable. The embedded segment is loaded from the ELF automatically, the interpreter just finds it and runs the code. I'm so proud of this little feature I wrote an article about it.

Hey. Thanks for the reply.

Answers:

- Active business work priorities take priority over everything else. We have a fair bit of tech debt that we’ll “need to get around to.”

- See above. I was requested to assist with infrastructure things to help alleviate the problem as I am skilled in that area, though the infrastructure person mostly silos themselves and I have my own tasks such that I can’t spend much time on other things. The result is that the infrastructure person keeps going ahead but doesn’t include me at all, and I’m not able to allocate time to spend with them. So, no documentation is created and the bus factor remains.

- We don’t do any reviews. Nor do we have tests for that matter. The company used mob programming in place of reviews though I disagree that it’s a real replacement. Tests are pretty much broken or aren’t run at all, and aren’t created. So we have a lot of bugs that result from seemingly benign changes. No priority is put on automated testing and it’s mostly all manual.

- I’ve been mentioned for being a good help but no real recognition otherwise. Leaders aren’t emphasizing that we create any documentation as part of our typical workflows.

The lack of documentation, testing, and reviews comes from the top down and hasn’t really ever existed. The company makes a point to use “boring tech” but implements very complicated software around said tech.

I get that it isn’t at all ideal but I’m trying to make a dent at least. I’m thinking the only real way to make it a priority is for leaders to announce it as such

ie. It’s active “real work”/business priorities above all else, at the expense of most accompanying things like tests, reviews, or documentation.

A smarter Idea for Microsoft would be to 'do an Apple'.

Apple had the smart idea decades ago of taking the open-source BSD UNIX operating system and overlaying that with the Apple GUI. That means that the open-source community takes care of the UNIX under the hood, while Apple merely has to maintain its own GUI code. Voila! At least half (if not more) of the costs of maintaining Apple's operating system have been offloaded elsewhere.

I suggested to the Microsofties at least 10-15 years ago (remember the 'Mini-Microsoft' website?) that they do the same, using Linux under the hood while Microsoft merely maintained the Windows GUI desktop code on top of it. But Microsoft has an NIH Syndrome that blinds it, and will eventually kill off Microsoft.

My expertise includes Backend Engineering, Cloud Solutions, DevOps, Maintenance, as well as code refactoring and migrations.
I'm learning FPGAs, using the $25 Tang NANO 9K that I bought on Amazon Prime[1]. I just figured out how to use the PLL to generate clocks of arbitrary frequency, rather than the stock 27 Mhz.

I'm interested in using this board as the core of a SDR transceiver for the HF Amateur radio bands. Driving all the phases for a Tayloe polyphase mixer[4] should be trivial. The real question is, how high of a frequency can I get? ;-) Can I do 2 Meter SSB with it? I think I'll be able to do an NCO up to about 400 Mhz.

The reason I bought it in the first place is that I intend to design a BitGrid[2,3] chip, should there ever be another Google Shuttle, and this is my get to know Verilog project. I may break down and spend actual money on TinyTapeout[5] at some point in the future if Google gives up on the shuttles.

> Why would you go through the effort to move around?

If a headset can be light enough, it can be a tool for AR documentation overlays. It's like taping a manual up next to the thing you're working on.

For example, engine components. I've seen airline mechanics consulting laptops as they work on engines. I didn't get a close enough look to be sure, but it seemed like it was a combination of manuals and running diagnostics.

> it's that there's no reason to.

Some monitors come with swivel mounts to support both horizontal and vertical modes. It's common enough that I think it's worth exploring.

> except you're adding annoying glass and plastic attached to your face.

This is absolutely true. Getting headsets down toward the same weight range as regular glasses is probably a major hurdle for use outside industrial or piloting applications and into the office.

Ask HN: What can a IoT company do to deliver a user first product
I'm diving into an IoT project and I've been mulling over how to build and maintain trust with my future customers, especially in the long term. The dream is not just to launch a product but to create something that stands the test of time and changes in ownership, should it be acquired down the line. I'm all for transparency and am considering open-sourcing the cloud components right off the bat.

At the same time, I'm wondering what else I can do to reassure users that they won't be left in the lurch, regardless of how the project evolves or if it changes hands. Is there a framework or set of practices I could adopt or any documentation I could put in place from the get-go that might help ensure continuity and reliability for users?

As an aside, this would be a "medical" device to help unobtrusively keep track of loved ones.
While your device will rotate privacy addresses within a /64, online service operators can ban your /64.
You don’t know they didn’t catch it. You don’t know they haven’t fixed it. Perhaps the fix just didn’t make that build, but pushing it out let them test/get feedback on other things.

Regressions happen, they get fixed. A regression in a beta, especially in an areas that’s being heavily modified since they’re adding read 3rd party support, is not an indication of a scam.

It’s just a bug.

Based on the description in the article, it does the equivalent of `git add`ing every change by default, but allows you to choose a subset of those changes to be in the actual commit. So the net effect is the same as if nothing was `git add`ed by default and I ran `git add -p` to choose the subset of changes to be in the actual commit, which is what I use the index for.
No, you and I just had the singular luck to exist at a time where computers were for weirdos, deviants, and dreamers.
