Tragically the problem is not lack of roles, it's a lack of hiring managers able or willing to fill them. No one wants to risk a visible failure, so they take no risks at all... which leads us to the current situation of 1600 unfilled software dev roles at walmart.
> Why does this seem like such a hard problem to solve for everyone that isn’t Apple

One factor is that many customers don't demand this kind of refinement, and of those who do many of them already use Macs.

Another is that it's not primarily a technical problem, but an organizational one. These kinds of interface refinements require coordinating across hardware, drivers, OS, toolkit, and applications. It would be hard for any one person to own that problem in Open Source Software.
Indeed, far more annoying is that someone grousing about the TFA update about pronouns "seems like a very [subsection of] HN community thing to do."

What about no keywords, like:

x => ...func body
That does make it a lot better, but at the same time makes the footnote even more of a deliberate statement that could have been left out.
The DMA allows for fines of up to 10% of total worldwide turnover. I'm not sure this is a fight Apple should be picking.

> the English keywords used in programming languages are thus just abstract (mathematical) symbols that are incidentally also English words

Explanation: People learn python without understanding meaning of keywords used. One must understand what ‘for’ means in python (i.e. repeated execution), but there is absolutly no necessity to understand what it means in English ( https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/for )

The way the legal system works in the US is that anybody can sue anybody, but if your case is dumb you’ll probably get tossed out. Might be expensive, etc. If you are serious about this, you’ll need a lawyer, so you can start by finding one and asking them.

My layman guess: you’ll have about as much luck an American who expects their second amendment rights to be honored worldwide.

If you bought the phone in the EU, then yes.

This is just more bullshit from Apple. They can't take your rights away just because you're not physically in the EU. If you have an EU phone, then it should work with alternate stores everywhere.

You won't need to sue, Apple will reverse itself soon enough.
Thank you! I have made edits to correct and refine the idea I was attempting to communicate.

Could it instead just be that they are just doing what they have habitually done?
Right, we're saying that it could have been built that way.
That's still substantially better than undefined, where multiple runs of the same compiler version on the same source with the same settings are allowed to result in different behaviors. I suppose an implementation could define non-deterministic behavior, but that's unlikely and could be forbidden by the standard.

That said, my overall point is that optimization does not rely on undefined behavior at all. It's commonly argued that it does, but there are languages without undefined behavior that have working optimizers, so it's clearly false. Some optimizations for C (and C++) currently depend on undefined behavior, but there's nothing inherent about that dependence.
Wait till that’s you. Have some empathy.
Are the alternative app stores hosted on Apple servers? Serious question.
Germany's current government is anything but right wing and it's the only large economy on this planet that's literally shrinking.
But you don't have EU rights attached to your person as a citizen. If I go to a place and commit a crime according to the local laws, I'll be charged. Well, similarly, if I go to a place where it says I don't have a certain right, then I don't have that right when I'm in that place.
A simpler way to put it is it's a technique to get around the context limit/attention issues of an LLM... to inject the context that is most relevant to the user's query.
Yes. Entire IT industry is peanuts compared to what we do to produce food (meat), haul stuff around, make stuff, and haul humans around. It truly does not compare.

Witch does not mean I think we can ignore any win. But GPUs that run AI (or that secure cryptocurrencies for that matter) aren't the low-hanging fruit. Any win is important, so curbing that is important, IMHO. But, again, not the low hanging fruit. That really is flying/driving people around the world, shipping stuff, making stuff and eating (meat)¹.

¹ Emphasizing meat because when talking about low-hanging fruit, that's where the biggest win is. By far.

I only ask because making embedding model consumption based charges seem like the norm is off to me — there are a ton of open source, self managed embeddings that you can use.

You can spin up a tool like Marqo and get a platform that handles making the embedding calls and chunking strategy as well.
So it already has likely already been trained with it and you call it reinvent
I disagree. There's no magic to being on call that means you understand something well enough. That's simply not automatic.

Following through with something from start to "finish" is far far more valuable than fixing one off bugs and then doing something else, and then something else.

If anything I think it can lead to a lot of poor assumptions based on very skewed experience.

AI, and therefore AGI, haven't been created yet as far as we know. We don't know what it will be capable of, what it will do to our society, or to humanity as a whole.

Our entire world changed with some of the most basic inventions that allowed for agrarian societies. The same goes for basic inventions that allowed for the industrial revolution.

I understand that the hopes for A(G)I include changes that would be hugely impactful, but they simply haven't materialized yet. Even when they have, how can we possibly weigh the different inventions? We will never know what the world would look like without agriculture, oil, the printing press, electricity, etc. Is the weighing entirely based on modeling, opinion, and/or hope?

Show HN: Daytona – Open-source dev env manager from a 15-year journey
Hey HN,

I'm Ivan Burazin, and for the past 15 years, I have been on a mission to streamline software development environments. Today, I'm excited to share the culmination of that journey: Daytona, an open-source Development Environment Manager designed to finally solve the issue of setting up dev environments, whether local or remote.

My journey in cloud development began in 2009 when my cofounder and I we launched the first (or at least one of) commercial Cloud IDEs, Codeanywhere. We developed everything in-house: the IDE, the orchestrator, and more. We garnered interest from over 2.5 million developers, and although it makes sense now, then we were ahead of our time.

Fast forward to today and remote development is commonplace, but the complexity of setting up environments has grown by a magnitude.

This is where Daytona comes in.

- What is Daytona?

Daytona is an open source, single-binary Development Environment Manager that lets you set up your development environment anywhere – local, remote, cloud – with a single command: ‘daytona create.’ It's free, flexible, and ready to use.

- Why Daytona?

*Simplicity*: Set up your dev environment with a single command. The only thing you need to need it to point to a repo and a target and Daytona automagicly does the rest.

*Flexibility*: Works on any machine, with any infrastructure.

*Open Source*: Fully transparent and community-driven.

- Getting Started:

We've made it super easy to try Daytona:

1. Download the single binary.
2. Run it on your machine – no signups, no emails, just straight to business.

We're excited to see how Daytona can streamline your development workflow. Try it out, push its limits, and let us know your thoughts, questions, and feedback right here.

GitHub: *https://github.com/daytonaio/daytona\*

I'll be around to discuss and answer any questions you have. Looking forward to ur feedback regardless.

Ivan Burazin
Founder, Daytona

P.S.: For those who love the backstory and the technical journey, I've poured it all into a thread you can read here:

ChatGPT-maker OpenAI hits back at Elon Musk criticism
been a lot of these RAG abstractions posted recently. As someone working on this problem, it's unclear to me whether the calculation and ingestion of embeddings from source data should be abstracted into the same software package as their search and retrieval. I guess it probably depends on the complexity of the problem. This does seem interesting in that it does make intuitive sense to have a built-in db extension if the source data itself is coming from the same place as the embeddings are going. But so far I have preferred a separation of concerns in this respect, as it seems that in some cases the models will be used to compute embeddings outside the db context (for example, the user search query needs to get vectorized. why not have the frontend and the backend query the same embedding service?) Anyone else have thoughts on this?

How to run LLM product evaluations
In what way does it look bad? Historically, digital-focus fonts have been drawn specifically to handle very lo res displays, or very small print applications (optical embellishment, ink traps, etc)… but given that type designers are notoriously detail oriented and that font files are collections of vectors, I can’t see a reason why the design would lead to these effects. Ironically (since this is a Microsoft post) Windows often mangles type display, so can browser settings and CSS defaults/resets.
I agree with you. There is a lot of bad design and there are a lot of bad designers. Privately I tend to call design that doesn't conaider function styling and people who make these decisions are stylists.

That being said designing for screens is already hard because the sizes and proportions of the screens and windows can vary wildly and even change during use. Adding potentially different fonts with wildly different widths and readability into the mix is certainly something that doesn't make things easier.

Again, that doesn't mean using a system font is something I'd never do, it just means that whether that is a smart or a bad choice depends on all kind of factors.
It is interesting that their narration of the story includes emails from 2017, early 2018, and late 2018, a chronological order they point out.

Seeking Insights – how to make wasted time in meetings go to ZERO?
Matej here, I’ve stumbled upon something quite surprising through my research: a staggering 70% of people admit they hardly ever prepare for meetings. A wild statistic, considering how much time we spend in meetings and how crucial meetings are for progress. This led me down a path to figure out if I can solve this.

Based on the insights I've gathered so far, I've created this super simple and straightforward tool designed to help anybody prepare in the shortest and most efficient way. Try it out here: https://meeting.meetrics.ai/create.

I’m really curious to hear your thoughts. Would this help you waste less time? How often are you in a meeting that is just pointless? What do you do if you're in one?

Looking forward to your thoughts and experiences.

Thanks Matej

> Seems very frustratingly fucking dumb?

What have we done lately, on a global scale, that doesn't make us as a whole, as a species, not very frustratingly fucking dumb?

We are literally strip-mining and destroying the world that is sustaining us at a rate that means our (grand)children probably won't even be able to eat and live. What else but "very frustratingly F dumb" is that? And this is one example. Another one would be how we allow a few tech monopolies to monopolize our "attention" and all information and knowledge about us. We see it happening but do nothing, and always too late about it. We are unleashing AI systems that we know will disrupt lives, industries, maybe even societies, without anything in place to stop it if it does run out of hand.

We see ourselves as smart. And individually we probably are. But on a grand scale? F* dumb, if you ask me.

I simply disagree with this statement, as silent failure is also very common in case of C, which is probably the worst option. (Especially that it may cause memory safety issues, that may not even materialize until much later).

No need to take my comment that seriously though, I had no bad intention whatsoever.

Hi all, Tpuljak here, one of the developers working on Daytona. Feel free to ask any questions!
Congrats. You're misunderstanding though what 'Show HN' is for (https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html).
As a fellow chonk, if you want a serious answer to what makes you feel full, it's protein and complex carbohydrates (generally stuff with a shitload of fiber).

As for what's making us bigger, it's cheap and easy access to high-calorie foods that don't make you feel full (generally high simple carb foods like candy, cake, chips etc). A candy bar or can of regular soda is over 10% of someone's daily calorie intake and probably double their recommended sugar intake. And they're everywhere; gas stations, grocery stores, restaurants. I can't remember the last time I was more than 5 minutes away from some massive sugar source.

Portion sizes have also gotten out of hand as restaurants competed on portion size to give customers "value". A serving of beef is something like the size of a stack of playing cards. Most restaurants are handing out 2-4x that, and people start to internalize that as how much they should be eating.

I think the pricing policies might be effective. Discourage restaurants from competing on caloric content, and make junk food more expensive. Probably not for the current generation, but maybe for future generations the same way as smoking.

If your weight is an issue for you, you may want to look at medical appetite suppressants. I've had good luck dieting with my ADHD meds with the appetite suppressing effect (when I'm consistent about trying anyways). Makes dieting a bit easier by taking hunger off the table.

> I get a feeling like I wasted a search when I search something stupid like x documentation.

I have unlimited searches with Kagi, but I have still gotten into a habit of obsessively taking notes. I personally use Org Roam, but I think anything with hyperlinking and allows you to take notes non-hierarchically is important. This kind of information is worth searching the web once, taking note of, and then using your notes later to access.

While yes, realistically this is just a lonesome longwinded approach to bookmarks, I have personally never found myself going back to browser bookmarks. I actually refer to my notes all the time though.
