Believe it or not billionaires are part of the public and those billions are in circulation. There are no dragons sitting on hoards of gold.

More importantly: money that is not in circulation doesn't affect you or me, it has the same weight on the economy as all the gold still not mined.
> result in shittier software with worse features

Got any examples to prove that? The only reason why features might be "worse" is by vendors artificially limiting browser access to native APIs. And "blazing fast performance" over features is not argument.

> security, and privacy

I can block every invasion of my privacy in a browser. Can you say the same for native applications?
I’m not debating why someone wants to develop it.

I’m saying that making a web app is not “developing for iOS”. It’s developing for the web.
I actually prefer Mac only apps. It usually means the experience is way more polished.
> So there is some plan :)

How does that follow from the rest of your comment?
Correct and funny enough because of this I recycle MUCh more living in a conservative rural area than a progressive urban area.

The private collection incentives me to separate as much recycling as I can and provides nice big free bins for this.
It is, and they do, and I also sympathize having travelled from Romania to Scotland and seen first-hand the differences that Europe has to somehow reconcile, it's a wonder they pass anything at all, even while I would like many of the people running things to be beaten on the soles of their feet repeatedly.

Tension between governing bodies and corporations is normal, signifies health and there's not enough of it.

As far a I know (and my knowledge inly goes to version 4) the RasPi does not support different power states or sleep modes. It would be interesting how it compares in power consumption to other solutions.

Perhaps they didn't want to give Apple the leverage over their companies right to run software freely without red tape in between them and their customers.

Having to worry about rejections, API deprecations, architecture changes, Appearance guidelines et al would defiantly make me want to avoid it as much as possible.

It's akin to avoiding a marriage to an aloof partner that will never love you.
They can't migrate control panel to the settings app in a time measured in decades, but I'm supposed to believe that they're going to magically produce something like this that does what it claims? Go home Microsoft. You're drunk.
I quickly searched for evidence that it was supposed to be that and found nothing except one essay on medium refuting the idea.

One of the nice things about scrum is that it has an official source who defines it and you can look at it to see what it is and what it is not intended to be.
> One of your assumptions is that we will start from 1 robot per year.

Not per year, total. And it's not really an assumption, just a demonstration of how fast exponential growth is.

> I assume robots will be similar to high end cars in regards to the complexity of manufacturing.

Agreed. This is also the framing Musk uses for Tesla's androids.

> Once a company develops a prototype with AGI

I don't think it needs a complete solution to AGI, as other people use the term. First, all three letters of that initialism mean different things to different people — by my standard, ChatGPT is already this because it's general over the domain of text, and even if you disagree about specific definitions (as almost everyone reading this will), I think this is the right framing, as you'd "only" need something general over the domain of factory work to be a replacement factory worker, or general over mining and tunnels to be a miner, or general over the domain of roads and road users to be a driver.

This isn't to minimise the complexity of those domains, it's just that something as general as ChatGPT has been for text is probably sufficient.

> The first million will be built by humans. The initial robots will take over the manufacturing only later.

Perhaps, perhaps not. The initial number made by humans is highly dependant on the overall (not just sticker-price) cost and capabilities, so a $200k/year TCO robot that can do 80% of human manual labor tasks is very impressive, but likely to be limited to only a few roles, probably won't replace anyone in its own factory; while one which has total costs of $80k/year and can do 90% might well replace most (but not all) of the humans in its own factory; and one costing $20k/year all-in and which can do 95% might well replace all the factory workers but none of the cobalt miners or the truck drivers.

"Fully general" is the end-state, not the transition period. But with fully-general, which is a necessary condition for nobody having any more work, we get a very fast transition from the status quo to having one robot per human.

> Setting up manufacturing that will be able to produce a million units in 2-3 years is possible. Let's say 5 years for a more plausible situation for a million robots to be built.

Agreed on both.

> Also there is no reason to believe it will be 2^n, it can also be 3^n or 1.1^n or any arbitrary number.

It's a definitional requirement of exponential growth, 2^n units after n doubling periods. I anchored on a the doubling period being a year just by reference to the cost of an example existing robot, and using that dollar cost as a proxy for equivalent human labor, and I specifically noted that the other poster's estimate corresponded to a 5-8 week doubling period which didn't seem unreasonable to me. Some robot can do each specific task 4.2 times slower against the wall clock and still be just as fast as a human overall because it's working 24/7 rather than 8/5.
Marginalia Search's still a bit hit and miss. Haven't really actively been working on the search result quality lately, been too busy with various chores away from the actual search end of the search engine. It's gotten a bit better, but mostly by accident, through fixing bugs that had knock-on effects on quality.

A directed effort toward unfucking query understanding and index execution is up next on the list of tasks to tackle though. Hopefully it'll make a decent impact.
Ask HN: Which approach is better to validate an idea?
I needed to build a few landing pages for a product.

One thing led to another, and I decided to build a no-code landing page builder.

I think this is a tool that many would find use for, and could benefit from.

I intend to make most parts of this tool free to use (including adding your own custom domain to your landing page). There would be paid add-ons, sure.

So, initially I was building a first cut for the product.

A notion-like interface where you simply select the blocks you want your landing page to have, fill in the details, and publish.

https://twitter.com/mx_abhishek/status/1756969547137945799

The problem was, the more I was working on it, unsurprisingly the more work it needed.

And so far, I had no idea if:

this is something people would want, need and love
this is something a good number of people would pay for.
So, I decided to go about it a different way.

I am still offering the service more or less the same. Build your landing page without needing to code or design
Instead of giving an interface, I am making the page driven by a YAML file. A person can use online editors such as codebeautify.org to generate the YAML file, upload the YAML file, connect their domain and the page goes live.
I am making this a LTD to evaluate interest. One payment of $49 for a landing page, and the user will have all benefits of whatever the paid plan will have - for life.

https://twitter.com/mx_abhishek/status/1758843135872950639

The way I see it, if the product is valuable enough, and at a good enough price point, people may not mind the extra work -- specially since it still holds true to the core premise of not needing coding and design knowhow.

Am I mistaken in my approach, or do you guys think this could help me validate things?

As someone who's also developing a product in the tools for thinking space, and going through the ordeal of finding PMF, I can empathize with Muse's journey.

Even though the project didn't pan out the way they initially planned, they handled the inevitable ups and downs with a lot of skill. You can see the amount of thinking that went into their software. Even though this is not an explicit takeaway of the article, I believe that the biggest lesson is to aspire to the same level of craftsmanship that they've shown.

Somewhat tangent - I've lost about 20% on semaglutide. What I discovered, since I lost quite a lot of muscles as well, my lower back pain, related to crack in one vertebrae, got really bad. Once I reached my weight goal (just a hair above "normal" weight, coincidentally where I plateaued), I started weights lifting, starting at very low numbers, and keeping semaglutide at about half dosage. It seems to help so far.

Just something to consider for someone who need to lose a lot of weight and who has some underlying condition. It is still worth it in my opinion, just not as painless as one could think.
According to Wikipedia, the station has changed hands a few times in recent years because the owners kept going bankrupt, and furthermore the station has gone off the air numerous times before due to deferred maintenance. So noncompliance seems like a very safe bet!

In light of that, it's possible they had no functional telemetry or nobody was paying attention to it, and therefore, it's plausible they really didn't notice when the antenna went missing. But if I were the feds, I would be investigating the possibility that the operators themselves sold the antenna for scrap...
memcpy, strchr, etc. use SIMD. The rust HashMap uses SIMD. LLVM can and will auto-vectorize. So yes - of course Zed - "uses SIMD", but it's not a tool you can throw at everything to make it faster.
A submission getting comments isn't automatically a sign that it should be on the frontpage. Anything controversial or outrageous is likely to get a lot of comments any time it makes the frontpage. The really insidious part is that unlike the really interesting submissions which are one offs, these topics are being fed by a news cycle and a content treadmill, with a steady stream of new articles mostly rehashing the same information. So they tend to crowd

To use this article as an example, you say you want to see a higher level discussion about the legal and technical aspects. A proper legal review of Apple's DMA position vs. the actual regulation text would definitely be fascinating to read and new information we haven't already seen multiple times. I'd totally upvote that. Maybe there's even a chance that such an article would lead to the higher level discussion you ask for. But it doesn't feel like that's at all what the article is? There's no analysis, just an assertion that this breaks the spirit and the letter of the law.

(I don't know anything about the various grivances you listed. I was just replying to agust since they were under the false impression that dupes were only for exact submissions of the same article.)
It's not childish it's manipulative and it's the sort of rhetoric that only manipulates people at least a standard deviation to the left of the bell curve here. But even by that standard, gosh this piece lays it down so thick that it honestly made me cringe.
You still need to deploy the application via Mac, genius.
Yes. Unpredictable failures are significantly worse than predictable ones. If file messes up, it's because it decided a ZIP-based document was a generic ZIP file. If Magika messes up, it's entirely random. I can work around file's failure modes, especially if it's one I work with often. Magika's failure modes strike at random and are not possible to anticipate. File also bails out when it doesn't know, a very common failure mode in Magika is that it confidently returns a random answer when it wasn't trained on a file type.
That's the frustrating stage with learning a language; the part where you don't know enough to pick up the gist of a sentence, but learning more requires you to first pick up the gist of the sentence.

I'm not sure what the solution for this is, other than to tell you that I got over it with no formal study (or even much _in_formal study, now that I think of it) with time. Just hearing the language all around you helps.
I think that was OP’s point: Gathering such data in a centralized place is inherently risky.
The idea is to accommodate apps that just didn't handle the exception, or handled the exception by crashing, probably because they only tested the app on a PC, where printing was always available.

> Well, the wrong thing to do is to have the printing functions throw a Not­Supported­Exception. The app that the user installed on the Xbox was probably tested primarily, if not exclusively, on a PC, where printing is always available. When run on an Xbox, the exception will probably go unhandled, and the app will crash. Even if the app tried to catch the exception, it would probably display a message like “Oops. That went badly. Call support and provide this incident code.”
> - avoids using an overpowered modal editor that requires several keystrokes just to save and quit when done writing my couple of sentence commit message

Funny, I find I do way less keystrokes in modal editors. I feel handicapped without. My patience runs out as soon as I have to use the arrows to fix something a few words back.

ZZ and ZQ isn't very difficult. And shift is usually easier on the pinky than ctrl.

You don't have to like vim, that's ok, but there's no need to exaggerate when comparing. When I was new I was so terrified of getting stuck in vim that I learned to use the `-m` option in all my commits. I still use it, but with vim keys even in my shell because it's so useful.

I once led a team of PhD level IC's. I had to find them work, keep away the dreamers and keep them happy. I would no joke spend sometimes six hours at a time talking to them individually, playing guidance counselor, playing the role of comforter. I never thought that would land in my job bucket! One of my guys helped win two separate 10 figure deals so my time payed off!
He's not saying replacing customer collaboration with programming. He's saying replace bleeding clients dry under the pretense of customer collaboration with programming.
I also found it weird that the author thought being an EM is a good path to being an entrepreneur.

Going from zero to one has very little to do with engineering management. Being able to hack out code quickly and being comfortable talking to potential customers (preferably not in that order) are the most important things and not at all related to being an EM. It's no guarantee that you'll get to hire anyone to manage.

And yeah, there are mechanically far fewer management roles than engineering roles, and since the boundary between lead engineer/first line manager is pretty porous in both directions, you're not actually competing with an equivalently smaller pool.
20x over the last 20 years is pretty exceptional but 10x would be fairly easy.

You started out at non-tech company at $35k in 2004 (right after the dot com bust) then ended up at a big (non FAANG) tech company in 2024 for $350k.

I’m in that ballpark. Granted I’m staff, but I know seniors making just a little less.
It's okay, understandable and even healthy to be angry. It is not okay, however, to let your anger to drive your actions in a way that hurts others.

And anger should not be looked in isolation. Passive avoidance, passive aggression, dismissiveness or manipulative mind-bending tricks are lightyears worse than an occasional anger outburst - even if these patterns are not as apparent.
discord is electron and runs perfectly under wayland. a few flags to turn it on and you're good.
Brilliant distillation of this insight, I've never heard it put in those words before but it's perfect. It cuts both ways too, if you have lots of tests but most of them aren't really exercising the external API, then you're worse off.
"you start moving to higher IC roles such as Staff"

QED.

I don't understand the nitpicking. It is factually impossible to get 20-30% salary increase forever if you move every 2-3 years while remaining at the same level. You'll get to the top end fairly quickly.

The person I replied to who said this has happened to them has only been in the industry 12 years. So, yes, they started as junior, then eng, now senior engineer, they moved maybe 3-4 times. But now if they stay at "senior software engineer" level then things will taper off.
> Addictions do not have to be life destroying. Plenty of people are addicted to various things but are fully functional and live fulfilled lives. It’s a bit unfair to ask whether OP wants words to have any meaning when it seems you’re a bit fuzzy on the definition of “addiction” yourself.

Wikipedia: Addiction is a neuropsychological disorder characterized by a persistent and intense urge to use a drug or engage in a behaviour that produces natural reward, despite substantial harm and other negative consequences.

You are confusing being able to repair with being able to use compatible parts.

You absolutley can replace parts in apple products. You can even use unauthorized third party parts (and if you can't that should change). What you cannot do both with apple and car makers is force them to make parts that are compatible with some standard. A car maker can do whatever they want with the car design so long as it functions safely.

> one is forcing Apple to make their screen compatible with a Samsung phone, or a part inside an AirPod fit inside a Bose headset.

They are forcing apple to make their charging and interface ports USB so that it is compatible with what samsung uses. They are forcing apple to have 3rd party app stores so it is like Samsung.

> You are describing anti-competitiveness and monopoly abuse.

No, you are. State sponsored anti-competitiveness is no better. IPhone users like how iphone works, those who don't can switch to android phones with third party app stores and usb ports. Keep in mind also how android phones in europe are much more popular than iphone.

The EU is coming up with anti-american company rules.

Which means had UK's energy price were back to Normal at £1,300. We wouldn't be in a recession. Which I believe will happen in Q2 - Q3 2024.

And even if it was back to £1,300. It would still be the 4th highest energy price in EUR. But I could see this price even come down as more Wind Energy projects ( hopefully ) comes online. And a possibility of costing only half of that in the 2030s.
There is no such thing. Information is not a physical good that you can store in a safe. Access to it implies sharing it. At best what you can do is an API limit so that the thing is not immediately copied in its entirety. But then again, what possible statistical insights could you gain with only a small fraction?
Too late to edit, but I meant to refer to the Debian package of that name, not an actual flash/spinning rust hybrid storage device.

I’m not surprised. There had been some talks among various platforms to form a coalition and the reason we (Medium) thought they broke down was because people were trying to cut individual deals. I think this is overall bad for the internet because it cuts creators out of the decision and compensation.
It's not one example, there's plenty. If you want another, Aborigines hunted down everything larger than a kangaroo to extinction.

Aboriginal stories largely say that it's Rainbow Serpent that brings in babies. This more or less matches the pattern of constant hunger that made women infertile outside of a small window around the rain season. It's understood that the rest of the world figured out the link from observing domestic animals, something absent in Australia of the time.

There are multiple papers trying to tackle this non-understanding, including ridiculous propositions that they all kinda know, but "repress" the knowledge.

>If you're on an island, having an uncapped population is a recipe for disaster.

Having to kill your own children is disaster.

>Or at least that it is "bad" or "evil" that humans could ever live in a situation where they can't just consume more andore resources

Yes, it's very much desirable that nobody is hungry, sick, or murdered. Yes, learning to get more resources from what you have is also very much desirable. And yes, it's bad and evil if instead people kill babies and murder each other over food like animals.

Before you ask, yes there are plenty of Aboriginal Dreamtime stories depicting someone stealing food and getting killed.

And there's no counterpart to the Genesis myth that would say that X shagged B and they had a child.
No memory capacity or memory throughput is lost in consumer motherboards when enabling ECC.

You just need to buy ECC UDIMM modules, which, especially for DDR5, are more expensive, up to 50% more expensive for DDR5, even if this price difference is not justified.

Moreover, the ECC modules are never factory overclocked, like most non-ECC modules, therefore ECC UDIMM modules faster than DDR5-4800 are hard to find. Nevertheless, that has not stopped some users to overclock them manually.

There are some embedded computers for industrial applications, with certain models of Intel Atom or Core CPUs, which support the so-called in-band ECC, which can be used with non-ECC memory, like LPDDR5. Only on those computers enabling ECC reduces both the available memory and the performance.
It's possible that "It takes a village to raise a child" also applies to families.
I would perhaps add that it's worrying. Every youtube evaluation of this model in GCP AI Studio I've seen have commented on the constant hallucinations of this model.
Its making the price higher because you know people are dependent on your product, well beyond a reasonable profit.
I think 10x the price in other countries hints a bit to predatory pricing.
