To what?

I talked about driving a car. Miles and hours are an absolute reference. We still have no absolute reference for Speedometer.
Apple didn’t really want 3rd party apps to be web apps. The infamous “just build web apps” was a stop-gap measure while they were building the App Store.
Except that "one fell swoop" would realistically be 20+ years of research and development from the top minds in the semiconductor industry.

This. Also audiobooks of well-trodden stories can work. I used to use the Harry Potter books or the HHGTTG radio show recordings (both on audible) but this only works for programming or other non-math non-language synthesis tasks for me. If I need the language processing part of my brain to actually work for me, rather than being distracted by the voice input so it won’t interrupt me, then I need to use something like music without vocals. The fact that programming falls into the “shut up darn you language centers” category has always perplexed me, but it does. Maybe it just doesn’t always need that side of the brain and kinda takes over when it does? Not sure.

I mean, I guess, but how rough of a grid are we talking? This wasn't a tiny city or something... it was a pretty populated city spanning a few miles across in a very populated and well known region. Granted I didn't walk around to check the whole city for rain, but the sky didn't make it look like the clouds were only above my head...

Anyone who lives in a hurricane-prone area like myself (Florida) knows that while forecasts have gotten a _lot_ better, there is still so much room for improvement.

I am not affiliated, but I recommend checking out https://www.forecastadvisor.com/ to see what forecasts are best for your city. I totally changed weather providers and it seems much better now.

'The Secret World of Weather: How to Read Signs in Every Cloud, Breeze, Hill, Street, Plant, Animal, and Dewdrop' by Gooley is a fun read for anyone interested in figuring out weather without a forecast (or to supplement).
How do you suppose a half a trillion dollar market is not a "huge industry"? I am definitely aware of the cultural issues at Boeing, but boiling it down to "sometimes things are simple" is just a lot of ignorance on your part.
"caved" doesn't imply no choice. It does imply they made a decision with some pressure from their buyers. I'm not trying to be some sort of apologist for anything Boeing has done.

It makes no sense for app vendors to behave like crime cartels or sanctioned regimes in order to avoid a 30% fee. The margins are not high enough. It's fraud. Executives could go to jail.

Also, this whole web of companies would have to distribute the same set of apps, which would make it relatively easy for Apple to spot. Contrary to a prosecutor, Apple doesn't have to prove anything. They just close the accounts without recourse if they have any suspicion. End of story.

And the app vendor would have to forego the benefit of accumulating reviews under one name. Or they could have the opposite problem, users gravitating to one of the clones that ranks highest. How would they make sure each clone has no more than 1 million users?

This is no way to run a company. It's totally bonkers.
Not sure if it has improved in the last few years or if other target languages are better, but the protobuf code generation for C++ was pretty much the worst C++ code in terms of bloat I have ever seen. And I've seen a lot of bad C++ code ;)

Hey there! Today's video is an unexpected goldmine in affiliate marketing, focusing on the lesser trodden paths of TikTok and Admitad. If you're wondering how these platforms can benefit you, this video discusses their potential and why it's important to explore beyond the mainstream.

TikTok, known for its millions of users and viral challenges, may seem like a marketer's paradise, but it's not all dance challenges and lip-syncing. It's a fiercely competitive arena where standing out requires genuine creativity and strategy. Building an authentic brand image and connecting with a diverse audience on a deeper level is key.

On the other hand, Admitad may not make headlines like Amazon or Shopify, but it holds its ground with unique offers and opportunities. Finding your niche and consistently delivering value to your audience is the key to success on this platform.

But let's be real, affiliate marketing isn't about chasing the next big trend. It's about understanding the intricacies of each platform, recognizing the challenges, and committing to genuine value-driven strategies.

As a digital content creator, I've experienced my fair share of struggles and aimless wandering in the vast world of online marketing strategies. It felt like I was being exploited by cunning marketers, and I lost motivation and got depressed. However, I didn't give up. I found a genuine mentor on YouTube who emphasized not just tactics, but also genuine understanding, community, and trust-building.

If you're feeling lost or overwhelmed amidst the chaos of endless strategies, know that there's another way. It's about building a robust foundation, understanding the essence of platforms like TikTok and Admitad, and delivering genuine value. There are people out there who genuinely want to help, and I aim to be a voice of genuine guidance.

If my story resonates with you, I have an educational platform that offers not just knowledge, but also a method to earn while creating authentic content. It's not about shortcuts, but consistent effort. Check out the link in the description below to explore this system and start your journey towards genuine success.

I am not a physicist, but iirc the idea of the alternative explanation of the CMB is that if you time evolve backwards intergalactic dust over expansion, you reach a point where the dust gets really dense and effectively opaque.

So this isn't summing all of the dust you go through, but rather the redshift all the way back to an era when the universe was super dusty (with the expected thermal signature of that era)
You should write a paper. Because apparently classification isn't all that easy:

But you aren’t, though. You’re advocating for a user to be able to download their app of choice through the App Store. But in advocating for that you’re advocating against the user having choice of which App Store they use.
i did not know that and that is even more frustrating to me.
Where is the bug in the C++ standard? std::remove_all states:

> 1,2) The file or empty directory identified by the path p is deleted as if by the POSIX remove. Symlinks are not followed (symlink is removed, not its target).
> 3,4) Deletes the contents of p (if it is a directory) and the contents of all its subdirectories, recursively, then deletes p itself as if by repeatedly applying the POSIX remove. Symlinks are not followed (symlink is removed, not its target).

Nowhere in there does it say "lol but FUCK YOU if you're on a multiprocessing system lololololol" or anything remotely close to that.
that's totally fair, certainly there are web servers I use that are probably using rust somewhere, but I suspect it's still a relatively small amount of code (even if widely used!).
Right, but that's because it's not a 737. That's the point. It's not because of a technical limitation than the civilian 737 does not have EICAS.
There's one notable exception! Tech work in the Silicon Valley area. All other jobs should be paid like that to keep up with productivity and inflation since the 70's.
You shouldn't be convinced, no one has presented any evidence of anything happening or not happening. Being suspicious means the situation warrants investigation.

If there were foul play, the person who made the decision may not agree that this is worse for Boeing, or may not even care about what effect it has on Boeing at large. Being accused of something no one can prove might be greatly preferable to having specific evidence come to light, especially if the scrutiny will fall on a massive company instead of on you in particular.
This is true - and also misses one of the points Herb Sutter's article is making. I don't disagree at all with what seems the general sentiment here about the importance of memory safety. I also, though, don't disagree with Herb Sutter that there are other safety-relevant aspects in both programming and software deployment which aren't helped/prevented "merely" by using memsafe languages.

Say, the "typical" rust laziness ... just unwrap() because well we know for sure it can't possibly be None, right ?
Do that in a form of crit code path, and while that may not open you to an exploit, it'll still down your service and damn you to a crashloop.

Yes, we should be using memsafe languages. Yes, we should be a little humble about bugs we may create. As important as it is to entirely eliminate one "critical" class, as important it is to realize even with that gone, bugs/issues/security problems will remain.
Software engineering still needs a human in the loop, just like art still needs to be prompted and tweaked by a human that can do composition, or writing that needs to be edited and refined, and so on.

AI can't do 100% of the jobs, but it seems like we're somewhere past the 100x capabilities point. AI should be able to make a good employee able to do 100x the output at the same level of quality, and AI only gets more efficient and capable from here on out.

Lawyers doing highly specialized work like doc review can use million token context lengths to achieve days or weeks of work in minutes or hours. Doctors can review huge quantities of literature in search of information relevant to their patients, maximizing the value of their time. Any knowledge work, anything that has repeatable processes, anything not requiring physical work in the real world, will be subject to increasing, accelerating, and unstoppable automation. Market forces will reward efficiency, and eliminating human overhead with relative cost reductions approaching 99.99% is a victory for companies nimble enough to pull it off.

We're living in the apocryphal interesting times.
You have to define what an influencer is first. Is it a rando on Instagram with many followers? A well known Youtube content creator in a niche you're passionate about? A Twitch streamer you watch 12 hours a day and have a parasocial relationship with?

If I like bikes, for example, and my favourite biking content creator raves about a brand (an unpaid review), does this count as being influenced by... an influencer?

Is it as bad as being convinced by a drive-by Google Ad? It is still advertisement either way, just that an influencer is a person instead of being a company hiding being Adwords, and there is a chance the influencer genuinely likes the product, and is not trying to sell you anything.
fun fact for the older HN community: The CSU system has a distance learning system (esp. SJSU), if you're interested in learning something new for fun - it's a great resource. I've used it over the last couple of years and am contemplating getting a masters from here as well.

Are CSUs academic powerhouses? No. Are they still great for learning upper division physics, chemistry, and math at an affordable price? Absolutely.
I think there's a fundamental difference in what people and society allow between these two scenarios:

1. There are jobs that are risky.

2. When your air runs out at Mars take this suicide pill because we're not funding a round trip.

The latter is a huge deviation from what is acceptable.
Security is a really good reason to restrict access to the system from anything other than installed software.

My best guess is that you are either confused as to what "installed" means, or you want the DMA to be more than it can be, and are so angry that Apple is flaunting its limitations that you aren't thinking rationally.

If you want to make a complaint that access to the system services are supposed to be free of charge but aren't, the EC is just going to throw your complaint in the trash. If you want to make a complaint that the Core Technology Fee is an unfair general access condition, you might actually get somewhere :)
Ah, reading comprehension is hard. I thought you were listing different examples of the same paradox for some reason. Carry on.
No, I'm past the denial stage (I was certainly there, though... GPT threw me hard and I spent a good 2 months processing what was happening) but I don't, in this specific case, see this agent displacing many jobs yet. Well, not my kind of jobs. I'm already very worried for the entry level of our industry... I'm not sure what it means yet, but I don't think we will have many entrants into software careers within 5 years or so.

I'm looking for an offramp as well. I truly love software so it's a hard reality to contend with at times. Regardless, I'm not a software engineer at my core. I'm a problem solver, and I love creating things. This is transferable. I'm not sure where to yet, but I'm certainly capable of making a move. I hope I have more than 3 years, though.

As someone else asked, I'm curious where you're headed or thinking of heading so far.

I came here to suggest similar. I usually go with

dd if=/dev/device | mbuffer to Ethernet to mbuffer dd of=/dev/device

(with some switches to select better block size and tell mbuffer to send/receive from a TCP socket)

If it's on a system with a fast enough processor I can save considerable time by compressing the stream over the network connection. This is particularly true when sending a relatively fresh installation where lots of the space on the source is zeroes.
From Showstopper! The Breakneck Race to Create Windows NT and the Next Generation at Microsoft by Zachary, we learn that Microsoft hired Cutler in October of 1988.

By this time, Microsoft had already maintained a 32-bit kernel with a flat memory model as Xenix. They disposed of it because AT&T was entering the commercial UNIX market and Microsoft would be at a distinct disadvantage.

This means that Cutler had been expounding on his grand kernel plans for two years prior to the 32-bit OS/2 from 1990, and staff at Microsoft could very well grasp the significance.

Chapter 4 of Zachary, Blind Alley, claims that the NT development kernel booted on an i860 PC in July of 1989. This being the case, the knives must have been out for OS/2 for some time.

> It's strange that addons have so much unsandboxed power.

That's because addons are a relic from the wild west era of the 1990s, where the philosophy was to give the user a chainsaw and if they chop their own leg off that's their problem.

That's in contrast to the modern software design philosophy, which is that the average user is so drunk they're almost falling over, and the world should contain no chainsaws whatsoever in order to accommodate this.

Browser designers would love to remove add-ons, but no browser can succeed without an ad blocker, and providing an extension mechanism provides this, without requiring the browser maker to get into the ad blocking game personally.

Clearly an extremely impressive demo and congrats on the launch. I do wonder how often the bugs Devin encounters will be solvable from the simple fixes that were demonstrated. For instance, I notice in the first demo Devin hits a KeyError and decides to resolve it by wrapping the code in a try-catch. While this will get the code to run, I immediately imagined cases where it's not actually an ideal solution (maybe it's a KeyError because the blog post Devin read is incorrect or out of date and Devin should actually be referencing a different key altogether or a different API). Can Devin "back up" at this point and implement a fix further back in its "decision tree" (e.g. use a different API endpoint) or can it only come up with fixes for the specific problem it's encountering at this moment (catch the KeyError and return None)?
That's an interesting point about the Apple weather forecast. That correlates pretty well with my experience. It is exceptionally inaccurate at short range forecasts. It's kind of a running joke at this point.
Leveling up as you are presenting it tends to deal with efficiency and task allocation. In the case of increased efficiency, this leads to a need for fewer of those employees (eg your move from 30% to 3%). So 90% of those people, or 27% of the overall population needs a new job. Maybe a lot of those people move from the primary sector of farming to the secondary sector of manufacturing. But even with shuffling with other people in other jobs, a some will not be able to make that switch. As you move from a secondary to tertiary sector economy (people designing the machines), the number of people unable to make that jump increases.

I believe that economies making jumps from 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd will be able to benefit. However, I'm skeptical that 3rd level economies will be able to benefit without significant pains due to population level mismatches of required skills to competencies.
