Yep! Picture this from the engineering or product manager's point of view (especially in the case where it really is simple, and the app is links and forms with a consistent look and feel.)

Imagine a split for a Rails app (like what was common in 2000-2010) where you have

- Backend engineers managing most of the logic in ERB templates

- One designer-turned-frontend guy who is deep on HTML/CSS/JS, spends most of his day writing CSS so the backend engineers don't have to

CSS, even for people deep on it, is not very fun. It's especially not fun if your backend devs control the codebase where you can actually define the HTML tags that make up a component. So a really common situation was

- Designer-turned-frontend guy burns out, or wants to transition into pure development

- You have a hellish search for their replacement, since the pitch is "seeking a person who is interested in a low terminal IC position, is interested in the least fun part of web tech, and whose hand will be slapped if they dare to touch the backend engineers' code." In practice once you lose that one guy, you have months of a gap before you find your CSS expert again.

- In the meantime, you have a workforce that doesn't get why look & feel is important and stakeholders who can't understand why no one can put polish on any of their new GUI features, despite building a GUI.

SPAs made this much, much easier. Now, frontend devs

- Have full control over the structure of a component for styling

- Don't have to get the backend devs' permission to change things they know they need to change to style things correctly

- Can make reusable components with the same styles, allowing design systems to take off in ways they didn't before

- If the person wants to branch out and get more programming experience, some of the logic is on the frontend too. The job isn't "all styling, all the time, leave the logic to the other teams" and there are areas to show skill. Retention is 10 times easier and there are fewer key people who can never take a vacation.

- And critically - you have a team for whom look and feel is not an afterthought, with the power & ability to make code changes. No more explaining to stakeholders why buttons look totally different page-by-page and why the team can't be convinced that consistent branding is important for businesses.
That's a great question! (I work for Unison, full disclosure.)

The process for upgrading Unison code is that if you have a function A that calls B, and you update B in some way, as long as the change is type-preserving it will automatically be propagated to all the sites in your project where B is called. If the change is not type-preserving (for example, if you added a parameter) the tooling itself will direct you to resolve all the places where B is applied. So as you change code locally, you're continually keeping your codebase in sync; A will always be calling the updated function.

Here's an example from our docs: https://www.unison-lang.org/docs/usage-topics/workflow-how-t...
Is it just not validated but still supported by turning it on the Motherboard?
I think it's the other way around; if someone was using Docker to isolate environment for individual scripts, it's like, why not use something more light-weight, such as this
why would you? This seems much simpler.
I do wonder about the actual material constraints. My thought is, will it even be possible to make something so slight that it becomes an everyday piece of tech like the iPhone, or is it destined for entertainment and casual work?

Batteries are heavy, the optical aspect is bulky, heat dissipation is challenging. I haven't seen any tech on the near horizon that can answer those challenges. I wonder what Apple has in their R&D plans.

I agree that Apple software has a big hill to climb when it doesn't have the iPhone halo to buttress its bugs.

The Apple Watch has a big advantage: it's one of the cheapest things they sell. It is the iPod Shuffle of its time. But as it doesn't work without an iPhone, I cannot agree that it owns the market.
Sorry, typo. It being very expensive makes the wait-lists surprising. If it wasn't expensive wait-lists wouldn't be surprising.
Oh no. We hate Musk now, didn't you get the memo?
Your example of Guernica: If someone with no knowledge of the meaning behind it, and saw it for the first time... would they really be emotionally blown away? Should a painting have to be explained?

I dunno, I prefer art that is breathtaking at first sight and self explanatory (eg. Starry Night), versus a piece that requires an explanation, like Andy Warhol's soup cans or some abstract modern art that consists of random splashes of paint that somehow makes sense of it all.
> Reading 1-3 hours a day will get you really far in five years, further than those with degrees. Couple your reading with 10-30 minutes of writing and reflection and you will be a master by no time. Share your favorite findings at the end of the week in a podcast and newsletter, and buddy, you will be having lunch with Andrew Huberman in a few years.

Hey sorry to be a downer, but this is not very good advice. I’m not sure what you think happens in a 4-year degree program, but it’s certainly more involved than “reading 1-3 hours a day and 10-30 minutes of reflection”. And discussing neuroscience with Andrew Huberman is a totally different goal from becoming an expert in the field. There are much easier ways to do the former.
that's why i don't care about casual friends. i mean i do have some, but that's because we have some hobby that we share. the people in that group however are all replaceable.

what's not replaceable is deep friendships with people that do care and are open to listen.
Agreed. I find my AVP actually quite bad for using my Mac. I use a MBP instead of a MBA because 120hz makes a big difference. The MBP screen within AVP is probably something like 30hz (likely because it's using Airplay, and it doesn't have enough bandwidth). And I can't change the resolution either! It's kind of like working on a TV — I don't see why it's any better than the 14" MBP screen.

Overall, the AVP is a disappointment for me. Most of the new UX patterns I find far worse than keyboard shortcuts. (For example, a window manager is _much_ easier to use than having to pinch to drag windows around. For example Vimium is much easier to use than looking at elements and pinching at things.) I don't consume much content (e.g. TV), but of the content that I do consume, it feels lower resolution to me. The demos they have (e.g. the Alicia Keys video) feels nothing like real-life to me. As a parallel to what you said — real life has never looked better (after taking off the AVP), haha.
Me and a friend built Mysterian. It allows you to draft AI replies, summarize emails, and chat with your inbox.

We used Plasmo to build the chrome extension, React for the frontend, and currently OpenAI as the LLM provider.

Currently it only works with Gmail but we plan on adding other email providers as well.

Fitbit and various other "exercise-aimed" smartwatches were already out way before the Apple Watch, and there were other smartwatches (such as Pebble) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smartwatch has a whole listing.

Apple came in quite late and slurped up much of the market. If their watch was Android-compatible, it'd be even more.
They can also be unintended consequences in the evolution of the flowers. As I understand it, they are beautiful because they are trying to attract the attention of their pollinators.

Some flowers are plain-looking because they are beautiful in infrared or ultraviolet, for example. That is, they are beautiful to their intended non-human audience. The fact that other flowers are beautiful also in the human visible spectrum is either a fortunate accident for us (if it is a wild flower) or a deliberate choice by their pollinators (if it is a domesticated flower that people plant on purpose).
> New investments in China by Taiwanese companies declined 10.4 percent year-on-year in the first quarter of the year (2023) to US$758 million...That follows an almost 14 percent decrease in such investment last year

How's total investment going? If the flow is still greater than zero, then presumably the stock is still increasing... It's a funny sort of 'divestment' where you have more invested (and at risk) every year.
Not mentioned, but Apple also has help pages for what to order if you only wear/need reader eyeglasses. I'm equally confused why this would be necessary.
Thanks for mentioning this, the reason was.... I was messing around with my site. Hah! But should be okay now, apologies for tinkering while not knowing everyone was going to come by to visit.

Fighting wildfires is expensive, which means it's big business. There's absolutely business interests in keeping wildfires raging. Fire suppression means the government gets to purchase planes and helicopters, 3M can supply countless brand new sets of fire resistant gear every year considering how high wildland fire employee turnover is, Perimeter Solutions gets to sell Phos-Chek faster than they can produce it, etc.
yet they refuse to build hybrids in large numbers. RAV4 primes and Prius primes are insanely difficult to get at or near MSRP. Toyota is saying that Hybrids make the most sense, but still use hybrid as an upsell for a higher trim, and thus only makes a fraction of their cars as hybrids. If >50% of their vehicles were hybrids, i'd be ecstatic and would agree with them, but currently it's just whataboutism and misdirection
I thought it was something related to the Unison language:

I agree with you, you are not alone. Seveneves had some great ideas, but he spent way too much time on the science and put almost nothing into character development. The characters were so flat, the interactions and motivations were lacking, and ultimately I just didn't care about any of them. I can't recall a single character from Seveneves but while I can't remember all their names I very much do remember the characters from Snow Crash.
I could be off here, but in my experience developing machine learning solutions, requirements come down from management and PMs. As a developer, I certainly love the idea of not over-engineering a solution, but if the boss wants a feature that requires complexity, there isn't a whole lot I can do. However, I read a lot of code for a living and it never ceases to amaze me how many developers immediately start building complex Python classes before understanding or creating a design for what they're doing.
They'll never be outlawed. There are too many use cases for 300+ mile trips in remote areas where recharging isn't possible or less remote areas where it isn't practical.
From my recollection, even in a fusion bomb, most of the energy comes from the fission. I don't fully remember/understand the physics involved. But apparently the fission reaction triggers the fusion reaction (that part I get) and then that fusion reaction in turns boosts the fission reaction.

So my takeaway is that fission bombs are not very efficient to begin with. You're after all trying to extract as much energy as possible as quickly as possible from a system that is literally self destructing. We do not have that constraint with current fission plants, the plant is designed to run in a steady state for years, the fissile materials stay in place and my intuition is that this significantly helps efficiency.
am I the only one who just hates this phrase? It feels like everyone is contractually obligated to say it but I can't imagine that's actually the case, and it just became a meme (in the Dawkins sense of the word) that people spread voluntarily
While Bazel's python rules would do something similar, this doesn't look like it's the output of a Bazel build. The directory (bundledpythonunix) is not something Bazel's python rules generates, and the 3.11.7 python binary differs from what rules_python would include today.
Is it feasible to a third world country to build a foundry like this? I've been curious about this for a long time. There are very few high end foundries in the world. It seems like a major supply chain risk.

It's because every time I switch from coding to reviewing, there's a context switch, and every time I switch back from reviewing to coding, there's another context switch. I can easily spend 30 minutes getting back into the flow of coding after doing something else.

One PR has 1 context switch. 10 PRs have 10.

To say nothing of the cascading effects of CR on early PRs. Oh, you want me to rename a variable that I used in the first PR? Looks like I'm spending the next 10 minutes combing through my other 9 diffs updating names. That would have been a 5 second refactor if I only had a single monolithic PR.
that's no country. you find these kind of people everywhere. my theory is that the people who don't want to hear those things have not yet dealt with their own traumas (which can take decades).
It's also very likely that both are paying customers. The article doesn't accuse it of being run by the government directly, they specifically refer to it as a private firm.

They seem to have this unusual ability to get consumers to suddenly demand what used to be too expensive.
If they destroy productive farmland, what's the impact on food supplies and food prices?

This sounds desperate and counterproductive so good of they can 'justify' not doing it.
Convenience is one thing, but as the call passes through multiple layers of compression it does lose quality. Making a POTS call to a local business through the same exchange, yeah POTS might sound better than VOIP. Calling someone across the country? It's just gonna sound like crap.
I am not convinced. Your eyes are literally magnifying the pixels compared to being at a distance from a modern 2k display. You may have dense PPD in AVP but being that close to them doesn't do it any favours.

I mean, if you can see a pixel you can see a pixel, there is no getting around that. It's like once you notice a blemish you can't not notice it anymore. From what I hear from users is you can absolutely see the pixels.
Same. Only time I ever dealt with shipping on FB marketplace was the time I was selling my Steam Deck and some guy didn’t want to drive. So I said “How about I list it on eBay so we’re both protected, send you the link, and you buy it there”. He was on board and it worked well. Of course I had to eat eBay’s fee but better than getting scammed.
Thank you. Yes. I do too. I had asthma pretty bad as a child, and rate-limiting my air intake, or really in any way trying to ensure that my breathing is meeting some spec, is super stressful for me.
The Internet is an absolute disaster; disinformation campaigns are everywhere, drowning people, with endless horrible consequences. Freedom, peace, prosperity, democracy, human rights, health, etc. are all at risk.

Why are we putting up with it? We really need a solution. At this point, I'd love a walled garden where I know I'd get quality information. It doesn't have to be perfect, but not misinformation or disinformation. I'd love a search engine that restricted itself to quality sources.

Even from a purely immediate self-interest perspective, why are all these intelligent people accepting such a trash product?
Slightly related but it's so interesting to me all those new small tech companies that basically provides value on top of Postgres! They usually blog about some obscure stuff about Postgres and one of their articles gets on the frontpage of HN. Good marketing and very cool stuff!
It's not the use that's important, it's the quantity. In this case they found the quantity to be unreasonable.
What would you invest your time in?

Finding a job because:

1. The best time to find a job is when you have a job.

2. Statistically, knowledge gained through self-study is worthless relative to knowledge gained on the job. Particularly when a person has very little experience.

In regards to finding a job, I mean any job.

Not just developer jobs.

Because the laid off entry level developer who wash dishes in order to work is the laid off entry level developer who stands out for their work ethic.

And entry level developers with work ethics are the best entry level developers to mentor.

Anyway, people skills are usually the best skills to developer for developers (and everyone else).

Good luck.
This is extremely useful but has one downside people should consider. It needs to evaluate the full nix expressions on each evaluation which is expensive so it’s most appropriate for launching long running processes and should be avoided for anything called often and expected to be quickly executed.

I think the responses that something either will die or revert back to some simile of the good old days is a very human response that stems from the fact that in reality, it will mutate in forms that we can't really predict.

Or perhaps some visionaries can predict somewhat, but we can't really parse which of these predictions will be the one to pan out.
discoverability, if a friend talks to me about a podcast I could be interested in, i'd rather just have the name of the podcast than a full URL.

Happy to chat and provide recommendations. I only have a masters, and worked as an ML Engineer in the industry for about 5 years now. It was tough to get a job, but really good portfolio of training and deploying models can really help you stand out. I have teammates with PhDs in Bioengineering and non CS PhDs, and they excel in the industry. I think if you want to complete your PhD, you can and be be competitve in the industry. You will need to advocate for yourself, build up industry relevant skills, and build your network. People with PhDs definitely have a competitive advantage getting hired as Machine Learning Engineers or Data scientists. Research Scientists can be more competitive. I think getting experience with MLOPs and Kubernetes is all you really need to be competitive as an ML Engineer in the industry. I recommend reading this book: https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/machine-learning-interv... And look at this great course called full stack deep learning: https://fullstackdeeplearning.com/course/2022/

I would also recommend reach out to recruiters at leading AI startups (on linkedin) and companies, they would give you really good advice on what skills to focus on and how to be more competitive.
> I see hope in the Patreon model.

Though, podcasters on Patreon are getting high on their own supply, asking for way, waaaay too much. "Just" 5 bucks a month? For one show??? Completely out of touch. Come back when it's ad-free @ 50c, or less.
Those really cold days matter though. You cannot say a HVAC system is good enough if it doesn't work on the coldest day while the system is installed. Even if it is only for 1 night every 15 years that you get down to -30C - that is not acceptable. Which is why you need some backup system. Even down in Iowa (quite a bit south of Winnipeg) I've seen -30C in the last 10 years.

You can self host, yes, though you’ll probably be inventing a lot of wheels.
It looks like to use this product, I have to learn an entirely new programming language (which appears to be a weird mashup of Python and Haskell), a whole set of entirely new API's, I can only host my stuff on their for-pay cloud infrastructure, and I can't use source control?

That's a lot of very high hurdles to clear. Even if this magically solved all my scaling and distributed system problems forever, I'm not sure it'd be worth it. Good luck to them though for being ambitious.

I haven't thought too much about Hiro potentially being an unreliable narrator, and it definitely puts a different spin on things! In that case I certainly think the specific design of the technologies in Snow Crash is motivated by that narrative need to make Hiro's mundane life into something exciting, rather than the literally mundane motivations behind technology in the real world. Assuming anyway that we aren't careening into a future were all technology is driven primarily by hype... that's a scary thought.
And yet, if governments want to ban it, they are free to do so. Enforcement won't always be simple, but e.g. shutting down exchanges that let you convert Bitcoin into local currency will definitely hurt.
Thats probably more accurate. I knowi work a lot less now than i did a decade ago because i have built up a nest egg and there is no point incrementally destroying my health, work life balance, etc. When the greasy government is taking half. The incremental value is not there vs non taxed uses of my time like raising my children.
