The journalists, artists, and film people felt this way too.

These tools will be incredible and change how we do work forever.

I've done the kind of heavy hitting active-active, five nines engineering you'd think would be safe. I'm not so sure that doesn't change eventually.
You’ve written the same message, almost verbatim multiple times in this thread

Comment history says otherwise. If you’re going to make ad hominems, at least make ‘em accurate.
This brings a very interesting question: if you could have an AI software engineer today but it would cost you 1 trillion dollars, would you want and be able to afford it?

There is a reason why we still have people working at McDonald's even though fully automating it has been possible for a couple of decades now.
I think emotions are over-classified. There are only a few major neurotransmitters that determine our limbic experience, and there is continuity between them. So, in the Kubler-Ross framework for the experience of extreme adverse events, it’s probably more accurate to describe as a transition from sympathetic to parasympathetic, and return to normal.

But ultimately, the cognitive component in all Kubler-Ross emotional stages is the same: a negative comparison of reality versus expectation, on some perceptual timeline. It takes small amounts of dopamine and adrenaline to make changes that affect reality, and serotonin, oxytocin, endorphins etc to accept and ignore reality. Those are really the only choices: do something, or stop caring.

But what happens when you mix them incorrectly?

And this is now more editorial, but I think the problems occur when a brain is constantly hitting the cocktail of accept and ignore to mask the effects of a desire for change. Eventually the inhibitory ligands fail to control the overwhelming buildup, and you get this flood of “do something” mixing in with the “don’t care” cocktail. So that cocktail says, “do something big, and don’t care about the result”.

That might explain a lot of risky human behavior: thrill seeking, promiscuity, gambling, substance abuse, etc. Do something big, and don’t care about the result. It seems completely illogical and stupid, but it’s exactly how we’ve been training our brains since birth.

The “don’t care” cocktail is how we get along and be nice to everybody. And yet we are never good enough, and under threat of losing everything, so we must “do something”, even when there’s not much logical connection between action and desired result.

For instance, the connection between the desire to have a nice family and the action of grinding leetcode is incredibly weak and uncertain, but you have to muster the dopamine for it anyway. And then after years of thankless toil, you finally have a job, but it’s layoff season and you have to accept all sorts of terrible deceit as everybody you’ve been so nice and giving for is stealing credit and shifting blame.

And if you’ve gotten this far, I’ll give you a little story. Things can get crazy when layoffs are announced. One time, this guy was yelling at me about how they didn’t need a data scientist (me), and then he opened up his vest and pulled a gun on me. Real-deal loaded Beretta M9. Pointed straight at me and then slammed on the table. That one messed me up for a while. I know it sounds crazy, but I didn’t associate the things going on in my head with that incident and didn’t say anything, but I was really not feeling well. I was maniacally focused on proving my value, stopped sleeping, and did some relatively groundbreaking work. Eventually I requested two weeks of leave at the worst possible time. While away, I received notification of a prestigious award, and a layoff.
And meanwhile my wife and I have three Iliad translations on our shelf, which come down regularly as part of everyday conversation. If you last read it as a teenager it would be worth trying again—Emily Wilson's is very accessible!
A couple of main issues. In the US. Company EVs are currently not possible because they would be too expensive. The 7.5k IRA discount only applies if car and battery are manufactured in the USA. Tesla/panasonic is the only large scale battery manufacturer in the US and capacity is tapped out for existing models. Tesla would need to 4x this capacity to sell compact in the US with sufficient volume/margin. Tesla’s Mexico plant will achieve volume production at start of 2026. Second issue Elon messed up. Elon assumed that he would be able to either scale 4680 battery production a lot faster OR FSD would have achieved L4 autonomy by now which would unlock 3x utility of existing fleet via owners lending their car to rideshare when not in personal use. If this happened the need for a compact vehicle would be in theory greatly lessened. Neither happened and Elon has no backup plan. Hence why he is 2-3 years behind BYD in developing a compact EV.
because it costs thousands of dollars. I don't think this is as sure an 'investment' as you think it is
no browser is fully built with rust, and that is why.
Reach out. Get coffee with people. Be curious about what people are doing, share your story ( which you are doing) tell people about what you are doing no matter how small, maybe attempt to to tell the story without it being full of sadness. I am not implying you should lie about anything but you can paint the picture a million different ways, so pick as fun a one as you can think of.
I often found it things get a lot easier if the narrative in my head is just different than the one causing me pain.

Exercise of course.
If anything you should want the opposite. Most companies are fundamentally solving problems within a finite set of domains which could be represented with a finite set of "good" architectures.

The opinionated thing is how to implement these within the boundaries of the existing codebase, skills, etc.
Just wait until ai invents its own npm that people are no longer able to understand. Good luck with that.
Linear models don’t need everything to be linear.
Note that that step sheds libc entirely (so the binary needs to provide the minimal things that libc does for your platform, namely that assembly you mention, and you'd have to do the same for a C binary that did that) and gets rid of 3kb (16kb -> 13kb), but changing the linker flags to avoid page-aligning the binary brings it down to 400 bytes. I would have loved if the author had tried that on the libc version too, just for comparison's sake.

In a lot of conversations around Rust binary sizes some people extrapolate from the "Hello, World!" size difference as if the additional cost on top of a bare C binary was linear, when in reality it is (approximately) a constant cost. That on top of completely disregarding that the "bloat" is doing something (panic machinery, string formatting, DWARF symbol storage, DWARF symbol parsing, etc.).

Ali Express does the same thing now, with different sellers offering apparently different prices but compensating with shipping costs. Which is reasonable; what's not so great is that you get listings that advertise "Free Shipping" but aren't, and that often the picture you see is of item A but the price shown is for a lesser item B in the same listing.

And a bunch isn’t.

Time is hard no matter what. Having a variety of types and options is a good thing, as long as everything is explicit and convertible.

The wonder if obj-c/swift do well here with NSDate/Date representing a moment in time separate from any calendar/time zone… although the name is confusing for what it represents.
Those so-called societal solutions should be expanded in scope to include making society a less hostile place in general. Most people tolerate it (with effort), some think it is fine. But then there’s the poor souls who can’t cope with it.

They may make futile attempts to grow a support network that ultimately ends up mocking them instead of supporting. Nobody wants to have their “vibes” ruined by witnessing someone going through a mental health crisis of any severity, though some may see it as an opportunity to win internet points. Understand that most places aren’t reasonably civil like HN or your local tech meetup group (maybe it is because they are addicts themselves in some capacity). In such a situation one might even make things worse for themselves by going through a phase of daring to fight back.

They may expand their search radius with a Google search but find nothing but SEO ghost towns and dejected, sterile walled gardens; instead of the thriving, curious, decentralized communities they remembered from their youths. Until nostalgia gives way to nihilism and then there’s no turning back. That’s assuming they’ve even lasted this long, crutching on that dev experience or what have you. A lot of hazards (not just drugs) can end a person if they lack a viable support network.

These are objective faults with society that should be addressed, because that’s where the disease actually is spreading from. I realize that’s an unrealistic goal, but we have been doing so poorly at it that any competent effort at scale would sow more optimism, and optimism is what they need most.

Not really a ranking either (it's ordered chronologically e.g.), but true it is a very specific form of outlier, and not what I expected based on the name.

The goal of most/all machine learning is hunting down performance maxima in a super high dimensional space. In this case the space is the positions and angles etc of the atoms that comprise a protein and the "performance" is the stability of the protein.

For the number of atoms that comprise most proteins, iterating through all the possible positions would take an unimaginable amount of time, so you have to have some kind of search method to identify good position-space-areas to investigate more closely.

My guess as to where people help in is getting away from bad local maxima. In my experience playing foldit, sometimes you can see pretty clearly that the stability is not good and it's not going to get much better with small changes - the algorithm has found a bad local maxima of performance - so you can manually move big chunks of the protein around to explore a new part of the position-space. This kind of evaluation, knowing when to stop climbing a small hill and instead go looking for bigger hills, seems to be something that humans are pretty decent at. Of course there's also a million algorithms to do the same thing without humans.
Could be but the few that will send out nasty grams on broadcast just hurt themselves. Professionals will inform their colleagues privately so as to not burn bridges.

I guess I just wish the US borrowed some parts of European work culture when it comes to stuff like this.
> There's no clear solution for it from an encryption perspective without a big tradeoffs (like requiring all participants to be online at the same time).

I wonder if that's why Telegram's secret chats do in fact require users to be online at the same time for key exchange. I've used it before and I had to wait a while for the other party to come online.
Like what?

What's going to change how a team develops (physical) products? What's a merchandiser or buyer going to learn that influences how they spend millions of dollars or deal with X weeks-on-hand of existing inventory? What's an operations manager going to learn that improves their ability to warehouse and ship product? How's marketing going to change their strategy around segmentation or channel distribution? What's a CEO going to learn that changes what departments or activities they want to invest in?

At best you get a few little tidbits of data you can include in presentations or board decks, but nothing that's going to influence critical decisions on how money is getting spent to get the job done or how time is getting allocated to projects. Worst case you have a inexperienced CEO that's chasing rather than leading, and just end up copying superficial aspects of your competitors without the context or understanding of why they did what they did.

I've called up execs at competitors and had friendly chats that revealed more about their business in 30 minutes than you could possibly find out through this "method".

my employer did this last year. randomly laid off 100s of top contributors and project champions then spent the following year wondering why everything is slipping. that company and this entire market is so incredibly stupid.
Its a political topic, and you have taken an ideological stance towards it. If you want to say this topic shouldnt be on hacker news, I agree with you. Conversely, if you cant take the heat then get out of the kitchen.

Was it general free shipping? Here in Germany, I’m used to certain € thresholds that trigger free shipping, depending on the margins and size of the business.

I’ve seen 100 €, but also as low as 20€ and anything in between.
It will be called iEye, actually.
> For your model to work, what would be needed is the reverse: a system which allows me to interact with TSV files with SQL.

Several such systems exist, one of which is SQLite. https://www.sqlite.org/csv.html

I don't know if there's a virtual table extension for tab separated values, but SQLite imports them just fine.
I don't understand why people make comments like this which imply a uniquely "Apple" trait of product improvement. You could make all the same commentary to literally any other manufacturer of similar category products. Of course the second generation is going to be slicker and probably cheaper than the first generation, especially in a new category, that's really not insightful.
I don't think this bullying if he is upfront about the rubric/requirements. He isn't saying he doesn't give them an A on purpose. He says almost noone does against those requirements set out. As long as those requirements are not unreasonable.

He is also explicitly giving them instruction on how to improve as well as comments. If they follow they follow the suggestions and then get an A. That seems fair.

I don't remember my teachers ever reviewing a first or second draft for me. Just turn in an essay and get a final immutable grade.

I do have a vivid memory of getting my first A in 8th grade art class just by asking what I could improve in my drawing a couple of times before the final turn in. Apparently I never thought to apply the same process the rest of school :/
Even on Amazon (in Germany) shipping is free starting at 39€ only. It used to be 19€ a few years back. Often when I add an item to get free shipping, they are then shipped separately anyway (presumably they are stocked in a different logistics center), so it's not as if this whole thing reduces actual shipping overhead. They are just selling me more stuff.
One-off ingestion of metallic mercury isn't a big deal, it basically comes out the other end. But mercury fillings continuously emit a tiny amount of mercury vapor which the person will inhale continuously. Very small amounts but measurable.

At the end of the day there's massive amounts of data since these fillings have been in use for over 100 years, and it's quite clear who has them and who doesn't. If they do have actual negative effects, they are small.

Definitely better than having cavities, but modern composite fillings are probably better still (though, being plastic, there's the endocrine disruptor question on those - and a much wider range of composite filling materials out there makes it harder to study).
True but most of the relative cost is probably not from light seal or headband.

I’m not saying that I want them to be consumables that disappear from my library.

What I am saying is that, in practice, my digital game library hasn’t worked that way. Even the most egregious shutdowns (ahem…Nintendo) have left me with a way to save my purchases.

And even if I’m screwed over, I’ll still not feeling very screwed over versus the amount I paid and the enjoyment I got. Or even if I’m really screwed there’s probably a trivially easy workaround like emulation.
Smartphones are just small PCs with touch screens. They should have similar vendor/customer dynamics: no app store monopoly, no inserting yourself in my private business transactions to extort some rent seeking 30% middleman fee, etc. The present behavior of this "mobile PC" duopoly is absolutely nuts, and needs a reckoning for their anti-consumer behavior.

I read somewhere that there was a recent breakthrough that enabled this.

Even if it costs a lot to run inference with 1M token context, it is hard to imagine it would cost anywhere close to a software engineer salary.
It's the problem. There is not a more important problem on the web.

All that crying about google results deteriorating? It's them trying to filter out exponentially more noise being generated every time unit. LLMs made it so much worse.

You want people to stop caring about something? Flood the web with plausible and crackpot arguments about it from both sides and watch people walk away from the topic in resignation. It used to cost something to pay a legion of trolls, now it takes a couple racks of GPUs and a manageable electricity bill, especially if you're a state actor.

Noise kills utility of any information channel, twitter, HN, google, the web, you name it, it suffers. He probably couldn't have predicted LLM jammers, but I worry the internet's information capacity is about to peak.
If you play a lot, good accessories can make the game much faster to install, put away and transport.

I went round and round with AMD support between December 2022 and April 2023, explaining exactly where the issue was, sending the event logs showing the driver was being blocked because of the signature, sent screenshots of the certificates showing the expired dates, etc. I kept getting sent to random articles, told to do useless steps, the usual stuff you get from "technical" "support" nowadays. Eventually they acknowledged the problem, and said that it would be fixed in an upcoming update:

> I've now looked into this and we are already aware of this issue and have an engineering ticket logged against it.

> It is only affecting the older Ryzen and Threadripper parts and it occurred since Ryzen Master Tool (RMT) received a significant update to improve the look and feel of the application.

> We do have a fix planned that will be incorporated into a future release build of Ryzen Master Tool, however I don't have a specific date of when that build will become public for you to download.

> The initial estimate is mid July, however this could change. My recommendation is to periodically check our website for the Ryzen Master Tool release notes as the issue will be documented as a fixed issue when the build becomes publicly available.

I check regularly, and I haven't seen a new version released that mentioned this. Plus, never versions don't work with the VBS bypass hack I was using.

And here's the email that finally got them to even admit it was a problem:

> Again, I'm frustrated. I've clearly explained over and over that the VBS setting doesn't affect this problem. So having you come back and say "this is expected behavior" is infuriating. You insisted I send my system info, which clearly showed VBS is off.

> I say again: even with VBS disabled, the driver won't load unless you ALSO disable the driver blocklist. And once again, forcing users to bypass important security features is borderline negligence, when this could easily be solved by getting the driver signed correctly.

> The true culprit is the expired/revoked signature on the driver. You can see this in the event log (as I included in my last message) showing the driver being rejected from loading into Windows because of the failed signature. The purpose of the VBS check is clearly because this used to cause the driver blocklist to be enabled, so disabling VBS also disabled the driver blocklist. THIS IS NO LONGER TRUE. Recent Windows updates have made the blocklist enabled by default, so that the only way to run Ryzen Master on affected systems is to disable both VBS (to get through the check) and disable the driver blocklist (to allow the driver to load).
Making it of plastic instead of metal (even if that would feel less premium) and not putting a useless screen at the front would be a good start.

This thing is heavier than a Quest 3 and doesn't even have a battery in it.
