Yes, ports or custom elements are the recommended options, https://github.com/elm-community/js-integration-examples

There are a bunch of other options/workarounds/hacks depending on the need. E.g. using getters or creating proxy objects https://github.com/anmolitor/intl-proxy, or event listeners, or postprocessing of the generated JS code, but those shouldn't be the first idea to reach for.

> Why employers can't see this on the balance sheet is a different discussion.

Because it isn't on the balance sheet. The job gets done, the overtime is unpaid.

They assume that if the hours reduce, the job won't get done, they don't see each hour of less hours being productive because they've but been convinced to try the fewer hours option.
> Why do you unwind the stack? Something terrible happened? Definitely not,

Definitely do.

In Go we just have to emulate it, badly, by manually writing code to forward the error up the stack so you can finally top-level print “error bad thing happen” or maybe some unholy stringification of wrapped errors possibly collected along the way.
From the bottom of OP:

> Apple's move also comes after a threat to look into the issue by European Commission authorities.

> "We are indeed looking at the compliance packages of all gatekeepers, including Apple," the European Commission said in a statement on February 26. "In that context, we're in particular looking into the issue of progressive web apps, and can confirm sending the requests for information to Apple and to app developers, who can provide useful information for our assessment."
Right, just generalizing on how charge cycles are counted, but I'd probably file regular 0-100s into grandparent comment's "(when used outside of extremes)"

The average American drives around 13500 miles per year[1], so supposing a car with 250 mile range that's 54 charge cycles, just about one charge cycle per week. The vast majority of that will mostly be with under 20% of a cycle per day, plus a handful of outlier days every year with longer trips.

1000 cycles at 54 cycles per year would be 18.5 years, and 3000 cycles would be 55.5 years. I'm no expert on lithium ion battery aging, but that sounds like it's well into the range where age is more of a problem than cycle count for an average driver.

Security through obscurity isn't what is at play with nuclear weapons. It's a fabrication and chemistry nightmare at every single level; the effort and materials is what prevents these kind of things from happening -- the knowledge and research needed has been essentially available since the 50s-60s like others have said.

It's more like 'security through scarcity and trade control.'
I know this is a nit and not the responsibility of jsr (looks great all! Good job! Can’t wait to use it) but the fact that we still have a “node_modules” folder as a standard for the ecosystem. This sucks. I get it. I know why. Node is king. However there are other runtimes out there that use this pattern simply because they don’t want to reinvent a package management system (I’m with them on this) but have to use “node_modules” as their module folder simply for compatibility. I decided not to follow suit and use @modules instead. :P

I like JSR, and this in no way reflects my opinion of js,ts,jsr, or you all. I just think it’s time to move on from some dahl-isms (decisions made while getting node production ready).

That’s not correct. The frequency provides an indication of how much power is being drawn. If the frequency is low then generators supply more power to bring it back to 60 Hz.

If there was not a well known fixed frequency it would be impossible to evenly distribute load over power stations. All generators have a %load vs frequency delta curve built into them which is precisely calibrated.
The problem with options is they're highly leveraged, which means that if the stock moves the wrong way you can lose your shirt. Not just the money you invested, but you can be on the hook for much more than that.
Well, I suspect that--based on what I've seen from talking to people--remote makes it easier to do no-meeting, maybe do some light cleanup Fridays. So there's some relationship probably.
The choice to represent the speed based on multithreaded encoding strikes me as somewhat arbitrary. If your software has a critical path dependent on minimal latency of a single image, then it makes some sense, but you still may have more or fewer than 8 cores. On the other hand if you have another source of parallelism, for example you are encoding a library of images, then it is quite irrelevant. I think the fine data in the article would be even more useful if the single threaded speed and the scalability of the codec were treated separately.

Ask HN: Is LinkedIn limiting your personalized invites?
A few months ago LinkedIn started limiting my personalized invites (where you include text about how you know the person). I think it capped me at 12 per month.

Toward the end of last month I apparently ran out of these, and today I checked and I can see that they're apparently giving me 5 per month.

Is this a uniform rollout or are they just testing this? I understand the desire to reduce spam, but they could do that more effectively by limiting the total number of invites (not focusing on personalized invites), or limiting people whose invites have bad acceptance rates (mine are almost always accepted, and I don't send that many).

This change makes me much more likely to just email the person with whatever message I have, and then follow-up with a non-personalized invite.

What is anyone else experiencing, or doing in response to the changes?

I am a seasoned (15 years experience) full-stack principal software engineer specializing in the backend. In the past, I've built a number of no- and low-code solutions for stream processing, data model and query generation, form building, workflow systems, and front-end construction for a variety of industries, including those with strong regulatory requirements and complex business rules such as healthcare and fintech.

More recently, I've built a workflow engine for coordinating LLMs and other generative AI processes, and on top of this a platform for minimizing hallucinations and working with documents that are too large for existing context windows.

If you are building a greenfield AI project or adding AI to your existing business and your business is particularly sensitive to the consequences of hallucinations or you need to work with a document corpus that is larger than context windows allow for precise recall within, please don't hesitate to reach out.
I'm not against making something more accessible but I against destroying nature in order to do so.

Now, this was really an incidental point, not the nub of the comment, and since this is really not the topic here, I don't mean to deeply develop it here.
And they did so by sweeping the entire UNIX landscape into the dustbin, only supporting linux, and in return giving us a management system that can't be sure anything is running[1].

systemd is leaps and bounds better than most of the init systems that came before it, but it's not a good daemon supervisor, and the developers have basically declared that it's "good enough" so improvements are unwelcome.

look, I'm going to humour you here, but my instinct is that you'll just dismiss any potential anyway

first of all, by dismissing them as chatbots, you're inaccurately downplaying their significance to the aid of your argument. they're not chatbots, they're knowledge machines. they're machines you load knowledge into, which can produce new, usually accurate conclusions based on that knowledge. they're incredibly good at this and getting better. as it is, they have very restrictive behaviour guards on them and they're running server-side, but in a few years time, there will be gpt-4 level OSS models that do not and are not

humans are slow and run out of energy quickly and lose focus. those are the limiting factors upon human chaotic interference, and yet there is plenty of that as it is. a sufficiently energetic, focused human, who thinks at 1000x normal human speed could do almost anything on the internet. that is the danger.

I suspect to some degree you haven't taken the main weakness into account: almost all safeguards can be removed with blackmail. blackmail is something especially possible for LLMs, given that it is purely executed using words. you want to build a kill bot and the factory says no? blackmail the head of the factory. threaten his family. you have access to the entire internet at 1000x speed. you can probably find his address. you can pay someone on fiverr to go and take a picture of his house, or write something on his door, etc. you could even just pay a private detective to do this work for you over email. pay some unscrupulous characters on telegram/TOR to actually kidnap them.

realistically how hard would it be for a well-funded operation to set up a bot that can do this on its own? you set up a cycle of "generate instructions for {goal}", "elaborate upon each instruction", "execute each {instruction}", "generate new instructions based on results of execution", and repeat. yeah maybe the first 50,000 cycles don't work, but you only need 1.

nukes may well be air-gapped, but (some of) the people that control them will be online. all it takes is for one of them to choose the life of a loved one. all it takes is for one lonely idiot to be trapped into a weird kinky online relationship where blowing up the world/betraying your govt is the ultimate turn on for the "girl"/"boy" you love. if it's not convincing to you that that could happen with the people working with nukes, there are far less well-protected points of weakness that could be exploited: infectious diseases; lower priority military equipment; energy infrastructure; water supplies; or they could find a way to massively accelerate the release of methane into the atmosphere. etc, etc, etc

this is the risk solely from LLMs. now take an AGI who can come up with even better plans and doesn't need human guidance, plus image gen, video gen, and voice gen, and you have an existential threat
> pull the genuine disc and insert the pirate disc you had

Confused... so you'd pull out a spinning CD? And the insert one while the spindle was still spinning? And you'd do this safely, and fast enough that the game wouldn't have time to start reading the disc contents before the swap? And you'd do this every single time you're trying to play the game?

This sounds pretty impossible to pull off without hurting yourself and damaging everything... what am I missing?
That's not what it says at all. It's using the glass-table-floor-earth picture as an aid to understanding, to illustrate the difference between a linear series and a hierarchical series. It is separate from the actual argument, which comes later.

Hi HN! I’m on the job market for software engineering roles. A bit about me: I’ve cofounded a startup as the technical lead, worked full-stack most of my career, and have been using Rust for backend web development in the last few years.

I’m currently looking for mid- to large-sized businesses with strong engineering cultures that prize communication and personal growth. I thrive with open communication and authenticity. I’m open to remote roles or roles local to Chicago. I’m also tentatively open to relocating to California-based opportunities, given the right conditions.

I’m handy with test-driven development, I’m an eager documentarian, and I’m always excited to share what I know, whether that’s in writing, giving talks, or leading screen-sharing sessions. In previous roles, I’ve taught teams to collaborate via OpenAPI, migrated legacy systems to microservices, optimized CI/CD pipelines, implemented OpenTelemetry metrics and traces, and successfully introduced test-driven development.

My current career aspiration is to continue progressing as an IC to staff engineering roles, although I suspect my interests will swing towards the management side of the pendulum eventually. I would love to be working with Rust on innovative tech, or working with any tech stack whatsoever on developer experience or web development (where I’ve used languages running the gamut from PHP to Rust).

I have kids and they monopolize most of my free time, but when I have time I play with tech and writing code. I write here: https://briankung.dev, I have a microblog at https://hachyderm.io/@briankung, and I am a professional software engineering job reposter on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/brian-kung-ba7410180/.

Please reach out if you think I might be a good fit for your team!
