I understand that they had all these constraints but honestly it still feels very lazy, especially their ideation part. The hierarchy of needs was especially baffling with the next paragraph already pointing out that there are 2 very different usage modes (read & edit). Whose needs where they talking about then?
Tell that to the private companies selling the arms and scooping the resources. Think Halliburton In Space.
> In my opinion, some corrections are worthwhile.

The problem with “corrections” is that they obscure the truth. If you’re being given information and start forming perceptions that no longer map onto reality you’re actually in a much worse position to change or do anything about reality itself. It’s basically like you’re being lied to and misled. How can you fix the situation if you don’t even have the facts at hand or you’re not being made aware of the facts?
> They ran out of dangerous places to do designer drugs.

Yesterday on mastodon I saw a link to the vice piece about mushrooms: "Magic Mushroom Edibles: Everything to Know, from Chocolates to Drops". Their situation is dire indeed /s
Major infrastructure resources should be open source in the sense that the full source should be available to the owner/operator of the infrastructure (not free, just available). Should apply to any national infrastructure deemed critical for defense.
Yes, he left Vice over "creative differences" a couple of years before he founded Proud Boys. He wasn't as openly fascist while at Vice, though Vice definitely had to do some damage control over his comments.

That makes a ton of sense! Any other keywords you think would help filter it down to results you're interested in?
OT but I wonder why Go (which I'm using since some years after getting away from Rust) is consistently much slower than Rust, even with PGO.
The ranking formula is points divided by submission age raised to some constant. This means that a relatively few votes in a short amount of time is all it takes to outrank much older submissions, even with many more total votes. 9 votes in under 20 minutes will do it when the majority of other front page submissions are many hours old.

OK, but there are a lot of these.
I've heard this many times before, but for some reason now is the first time it really hit me.

Assuming this is true. What would the rate of our universe's expansion tell us about the black hole we are inside of? If matter were still falling into our black hole universe where would it show up from our perspective?
> You can make 1MB of JS perform just as poorly as 10MB.

But can you make a 10MB js perform as good as a good 1MB js?
I have to also wonder what percentage of each of those web logic figures come from code that's there to silently do telemetry rather than part of e.g. a UX framework
Curious, has anyone reused the HN ranking for their own purposes either at work or play?
Thanks for sharing, this is extremely useful and impressive.

Would you be willing to share your instructions prompt? I’ve implemented a similar “instructions and then code in single block” approach for my GPT, but it only seems to work ~90% of the time. Here’s a link to the instructions prompt I use:

This is so cursed. I love it.
Another point to support the same idea is data can be falacious.

For instance, you are making a pretty advanced 3D web app, and notice in your analytics that your userbase is only chrome and safari users.

An easy conclusion is to focus your testing on those two platforms, or maybe even drop support entirely for Firefox and Edge by using some webkit specific API.

A not so easy conclusion is the experience might be so bad or buggy on a non-webkit browser that anyone who tries the app in those just gives up on it.

The reasonable truth in this case? You should use standard browser distribution except if you're operating in a specific market, it might also be perfectly fine to drop non webkit browser if the ROI of developing them is not worth it for your goal etc. All of which does not need data but rather intuition and common sense.
First time, the site didn't load at all. Second time, it couldn't load the CSS and everything looked like plain html. Third time, it gave me a ERRO 500.
The technical side is a solved problem, the legal side not so much.

You practically cannot preserve and make available something if the copyright holders don't want you to. If the copyright situation is complicated you bear the risk.

You can say, that this is how it is supposed to be, but it is not like it works in the non-digital realm. You could argue that we'd need something like digital monument protection, where artifacts can be preserved against the copyright holders will.
I had to check the date, I though it was April 1st.
When you refer to “training data” you mean reality?
I agree. The research part of product development should focus on discovering the fundamental laws of the domain. These are fairly constant and pay off for yeara after their discovery. They also help you get a better intuition for the business you are in.

Hypothesis testing is a great way to discover laws.
April 1st is merely months away !

From the report's summary:

61 organizations participated. A year after the pilot, 54 of these organizations continue to implement the 4 day workweek. Among these, 31 organizations have decided to make the 4 day workweek a permanent arrangement. This means 89% of the participating organizations have continued with the policy in some form, and within this group, 51% have committed to the policy permanently.

One important (to some) filter is "does this card have any video connectors" - there's lots of server accelerators on this list which you can't plug into a monitor.

I know nothing, but maybe some three letter agencies know more. Or it could just be politics.
"counterfeit windows" -> the term "windows" is generic and shouldn't be a trade mark anyway...
I think data driven is orhtogonal to opportunity driven and vision driven. With the first, data is used to find opportunities, with the second, it shows you if your strategy to your vision is working or not.

Then there is politics driven development. You want to do something and search the trove of data for data that supports what you are doing. Or you look at the data in a strategy meeting, and then ignore it (seen this happen mostly in board meetings of large companies)
Obfuscation tools does that too. It doesn't changes the fact that generated code is based on other people copyrighted code. M$ doesn't use their own code in the training of ChatGPT, but steals other people copyrighted work instead.
How do I block low iq trolls like jrflowrs on this platform? I tried to search the FAQ but couldn't find anything.
The educational system i was put through was set up to teach that outcome scales more or less linearly with effort and time. The first lesson after graduation is that this is not so. Increased effort and time most likely primarily yields more effort and time being expected of you with lagging compensation.

Value and opportunity are chaotic processes in effort and time.

All we can do is to try to maintain the levels of workload such that we have clarity of mind to seize opportunities when they reveal themselves. Honest and balanced colleagues help there, but that is ultimately a missions for yourself only.
The article is related to js bloat and the images are required for the presentation. The images come to 10MB - not bad. The js? 4.5KB!
I think the way you have to pay adds to the realism :P
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39418412
Even if you are not using an high resolution display like the sibling comment says, the images are reasonably sized (they are a few hundreds KB each). I have seen landing pages with 20-30 MB images for no good reason.
So they're ripping wallpapers and icons from Windows, copy the design, and want money for that. Let's see how long this will stay up...
Great workers know when they can help others without falling behind themselves. Or have good communication skills to explain what they were doing.
> Surprisingly, no-one has made a Delphi (or Access) clone that runs on the web.

Yes they have, but many aren't willing to pay for their tools, so only big corps get to see them, see OutSystems.

Also WebForms and now Blazor, are pretty much it.
There's a repo from danluu, collecting such debugging stories [1]. I've had my own peculiar bug: "Script crashes before 10 a.m." [2]

I have the total opposite experience. Give it to a junior and they churn out code riddled with subtle bugs and maybe it hampers their learning.

For more experienced developers it significantly reduces typing time, in my experience. So often I’ll simply write the function name only then scan the suggested output and accept, saving minutes and reducing RSI.
Good luck getting sued! :)
Now if we could get an AI that would switch code/search mode on its own

That's a very abstract statement.

Atomize - to break into small pieces

Along many dimensions at once - in lots of ways

Things breaking into small pieces in lots of ways is the real problem, apparently. What specifically are you talking about?
To note that Blazor is the new Web Forms.
New foldable Huawei phone also based on the Chinese produced Kirin chip. Looks like a traditional launch with celebrity promotion this time.

In the context of the broader US-China tech war this is important because it shows that Huawei has no problem ramping up production. It was speculated when they launched the Mate 60 that was just a "show off" product that could only be made in low volume due to low yield on their 7nm process.
"If it makes no sense, there's someone mean behind it."

No idea about this case specifically, but in general this is an assumption that only hurts you in most cases. People have motives and people want to be good. If their "good" is your good is a different question - a question that is often worth figuring out.
My sense is fewer Zoomers are interested in the grimy/underworld/rave vibe compared to Millennials and Gen X. It’s all the same to them.

My theory is that when Millennials were growing up there was still a strong ‘default culture’ that helped sustain a thriving counter-culture. One could move decisively between the two when bored/frazzled. Zoomers have grown up flailing around in a devolved soup of ideas. Everything’s edgy so nothing is.

One in 8 households experienced food insecurity at some point.

So that’s $24 per person experiencing food insecurity. So a couple big mac meals.

The point being that a billion dollars is mostly nothing for a population of 330 million.

Social security spent 1.4 trillion last year.

“We shouldn’t do this thing, we should increase social program spending by 0.06% instead!” is not a good argument.
It's two separate questions really.

1. How can a post with 9 upvotes and 1 comment be number 1 on HN

2. How can a post with so few metrics of engagement be hugged to death.

The first is likely due to the late hour - time is a factor in the HN algorithm and with fewer people interacting with content the bar for getting the number 1 spot is much lower.

The second is probably attributable to the myriad clients using the HN API to scrape content from links shared here or the likely large population of HN users who engage with content but neither comment nor upvote.
Noted! I definitely want to add connectors and, relatedly no connectors, as a filter.
I remember it inserting rows straight into an Access or arbitrary-SQL database, and the integrations running from there. It was a data collection tool.
Not shipping Electron all over the place would be a reason, followed by games, 3D API that can take full advantage of the graphics card, and air gaped environments.
The state of the web is very sad.
Most people with a fiber connection don't even notice how slow it became.
But when you are still on a 2Mbps connection, this is just plain horrible. I'm in this case, it's terribly painful. Because of this, I can't even consider not using an ad/tracker blocker.

Would love to see this test with Ublock origin enabled.
It’s not about technology, it’s about incentives. Unless the cost of settling and living in Mars becomes extremely low there will be no rational reason to invest into any large scale Martian colony.

Why don’t you move to Antarctica? We have the technology that would allow use to settle millions of people there. We don’t, because it’s cold, there is nothing to do there and there much nicer places to live further north. In the case for Mars multiply all of that including the cost by (idk) 1000? 10000 times?

> Likewise for colonies

I don’t see the analogy here at all. Yes Columbus took a risk, he did that because he and his investor expected to make a lot of money just like the Portuguese going around Africa did. How is that relevant?

Europeans colonized America because it was green, warm, full of resources and otherwise about as nice as Europe (just with a lot less people due to various reason). OTH nobody colonized Antarctica or the northern half of Greenland etc. due to obvious reasons..
This makes a lot of sense in one way, but the weird thing is that it's not just the astronaut's own lives that we have to consider. Personally, I've had some risky hobbies. I accepted the risk, and if I'd died doing them, I might have gotten in the local newspaper, but nothing beyond that.

The Challenger explosion was a moment that defined a generation. Some of that was that Christa McAuliffe was supposed to talk to millions of kids once she got into orbit, but some was just what people projected onto the astronauts generally.

When the three astronauts died in the Apollo 1 fire, no one shed a tear for the 30,000 man-years of effort that went into making the rocket that was destroyed. The effect was about the men themselves, who were considered national heroes, and also what it might have said about the United States that those men died.

Maybe we should treat this differently. Maybe in prior ages of exploration, we did. Back then we didn't have live TV or the internet though that could capture our emotion in the same way, and also in prior ages, not all expeditions were as closely connected with the nation itself.
Thanks! I pull from the eBay Browse API, use some fuzzy matching and nlp to parse model numbers, and match against list of scores.
These days, slow-loading images usually mean that somebody hasn't bothered to use any of the automatic tooling various frameworks and platforms have for optimized viewport- and pixel density-based image sets, and just stuck in a maximum size 10+ MB image.
And also what it is not capable of doing too...

Simply try to get it to output an image with a female that's not a beauty queen. Even when specifically prompted to produce an image of ugly people, it can only generate beautiful people.
This almost feels like satire when Linux desktops actually have better UX than Windows nowadays (not you GNOME, I'm looking at KDE).
Ah yes, combining two of the worst OSes out there, what a time to be alive...
This is a failure of internal accounting. If maintenance is reduced, the value of capital equipment declines faster. Production reject rate increases. Accounting systems are not good at catching that.

Repetitive manufacturing operations which capture many metrics about what a steady production process is doing may capture such info. Non steady state systems have a real problem.
> For example, Google Translate is not an one-interaction app once you start to look further; it somehow has dictionaries, alternative suggestions, transliterations, pronunciations, a lot of input methods and more.

Almost none of those are loaded in the initial bundle, are they? All those come as data from the server.

How much JS do you need for `if data.transliteration show icon with audio embed`?

RocksDB supports hashing at multiple levels (key, value, files) because Meta also realized the importance of integrity. It also supports verifying them in bulk.

Presumably filesystems built over rocksdb also support this.

I love SPAs. I love making them, and I love using them. The thing is, they have to be for applications. When I'm using an application, I am willing to eat a slower initial load time. Everything after that is faster, smoother, more dynamic, more responsive.

Well if you have static pages you don't need a team of 10 developers… so there is some self interest there.
This is really old news and sadly there wasn't anything new in this article, the issue remains. IBM [used to?] use eDRAM for their last-level caches which is a classic latency/capacity trade-off that seems reasonable.

There are some amusing typos, like "single-core"/"dual-core" where they meant port rather than core.
They can be, but like with everything copyright-related for copyright to apply there need to be “creative work” involved. Which, for something that has been translated countless times in all possible directions, is going to be much harder than for a first translation.

Thanks for posting this. It is pretty much solving a major pain point for me (as is TFA, seemingly on a brief skim), even if with some usability friction.

I have a Flipper Zero and have always fantasized about having some sort of VMware/VirtualBox-like application that operates in a capture mode to forward all inputs to another device (similarly as to the guest machine in the VM player) with a keyboard shortcut to release the HIDs back to the host.

In the Flipper Zero's case (or any SBC/SOC/microcontroller/whatever-term-is-appropriate), it would be so lovely to be able to operate in all four combinations of:

Host - BT - Flipper - BT - Second device

Host - USB - Flipper - BT - Second device

Host - BT - Flipper - USB - Second device

Host - USB/GPIO - Flipper - USB/GPIO - Second device

Unfortunately, I don't work so close to the hardware, so I've no idea where to even begin with this. A man can dream. Sigh.

Not in the slightest, those two are quite separate.

Man, I use Resend, I really want to like them and yeah, it is really simple to get started which is great but man, this is, I think they really need to slow down a bit and maybe try to figure out how to put some processes in place to maybe intentionally slow things down.

This is the second incident that can be characterized by a very hazy delineation between development and production environments. The first incident had to do with an attacker gaining access to private credentials due to devs leaving keys set in NEXT_PUBLIC environmental variables on their site.
