Almost nobody gets $250K annually even if senior, and 5 hours is a gross underestimate of the total time spent per interview process.

With such a wrong premise your argument does not hold weight.
You have batteries that cover overnight and that only adds about 20% extra cost and it pays for itself due to enormous difference in price compared to the grid.
I think the article hits the most important part in all this by NOT talking about WFH and instead expanding on how these buildings are highly leveraged in such a way that capital groups are disincentivized to revive the area via lower rents.

Instead ownership is passed to equity groups willing to wait out a downturn - in this case selling interests in a building for $1.

This isn't about handouts its about understanding the actual economic reasons and considering appropriate policies that may deter what has become a major societal drag in some cities. It is not a handout to pass laws that improve society at the cost of increasingly parasitic corporate interests.

> If you look like an employee, regardless of the legal layout, you'll be remunerated like one.

This just isn’t true. I’m currently with a FTSE100 financial institution and inside IR35 contractors make way more than perms at the same level of experience. They just don’t want headcount on their books, and still have work that needs doing, and they will pay to get it done.

The problem is job security at the moment.

If you don’t look like an employee, you’ll not get treated like one…

> Be a business. They make more money.

Completely agree, but most business owners make money by exploiting someone else’s labour.
Boeing merged with one of their competitors, and now outsource to subcontractors; both of these suggest the barriers, high though they are, are not insurmountable.

Also, the FAA could ask people from Lockheed to mark Boeing's homework.

After a bit of Googling, looks like the FAA do also get Airbus to do this to Boeing, despite Airbus being famously not American: https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/airbus-wi...
I feel like a lot of applications can S3 but due to latency needs typically build a layer that sits in front that basically writes logs out to SSDs and then tiers to S3. If S3 offered a fast, reasonably priced Append() API that probably go a long way in capturing those use-cases.

You will never get a prosperous nation for everyone if you have a wasteful crab bucket economy. Yes, some people will need to be cut off. Hopefully they will find a more productive way to live, or die.
I almost downvoted this, but decided to rebut instead.

How far should this extend, in your opinion? Should the US be bombing cartels in Mexico? How about manufacturers of illicit goods like “Glock switches” in China? Tax avoidance firms in the US? The company registration division of the Turks and Caicos?

How about the headquarters of domestic companies found to be in violation of federal regulations?

Profit margins on new builds have been increasing[0] and the labour market in not too hot from what I understand, so that makes me think we can probably build more. But if we truly can't build more - introduce a tax on multiple properties and invest that into housing (in a smart way).

Some applications are designed so well, it makes me look for excuses to use them. Other times the good UI makes it faster and easier to get the job done. An ugly UI makes me less likely to want to use an application, and a bad/confusing one makes it harder for me to get the job done, especially if it’s used infrequently.

UI and UX does matter, even when talking about productivity software.

There can also be an element of inspiration and influence. If all my tools are well designed, I’m more likely to set a high bar for whatever I’m building. If I’m using ugly and poorly designed tool. The bar for whatever I’m making will likely drop to the environment I’m around.
This goes to show just how much slower software has gotten, and how much poor, abysmal even, performance is now ingrained in programming culture.

I’m fully estranged from my father since 16 and have flirted with severing ties with my mother, with whom I have a contentious childhood relationship and an adult relationship punctuated with obvious favoritism displayed towards my “good” brother.

Both are certainly downstream of the “me generation,” in terms of how they’ve lived their lives and so I ask, “if you live for you, why should I pain myself to please you?”

Interestingly, neither my parents nor my wife’s parents have guest bedrooms in their 4+ bedroom homes. Yet they wonder why we seldom visit. There’s no question of their ability to have one, they have the room and the finances. They just choose not to.

>The best possible essay at any given time would usually be one describing the most important scientific or technological discovery

That sounds like a trekie concluding that the best literature is "Star Trek" licensed novels...

Sorry, but PG didn't invent or define the essay.

It is a form that is centuries old (and in prior incarnations, millenia old) and have its own long cultural history, classics, and canon, few of the latter being about "important scientific or technological discoveries".

Maybe if instead of "best" he changed it to "most impactful scientifically" he'd have a point.
> Filesystem software, especially databases, can't be ported to Amazon S3

Except they can be. You don't need to overwrite the whole DB file on every INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE; those can be (and often are) stored in memory and periodically checkpointed. You might lose some writes if the process goes down between checkpoints, but for a lot of applications that's entirely acceptable.

Indeed, for SQLite in particular there are tools like Litestream that support replication to and restoration from S3.

Alternately, you could split the DB across multiple files, and then an INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE would only need to overwrite the files actually affected. This is already how server-based RDBMSs usually work.
@grondilu - this is awesome!

I have been working on something similar for the past few months. Would be cool to connect if you're interested.

I use a mac and linux now. I think HeidiSQL is the thing I miss most from Windows.
ChatGPT Builds Chrome Extensions for Me: Here's How
I honestly don't understand what people are talking about. Looks fine to me.
The default DB tool where I work is Heidi and I switched to DBeaver because I found Heidi to be horrendously unstable. Dozens of random exceptions on a daily basis, and because it’s single-threaded a long-running query will just lock up the entire UI to the point where it triggers the “this program is not responding” dialog on Windows.

A free and open source DB management tool is still an impressive feat, but I absolutely would not trust it with anything where blowing up would have consequences.
I wish I could parse this
I've been contracting for many years now. It's a good writeup, but as the top comment mentions - these are the basics. There is a lot of nuance. I'm exclusively Outside-IR35, and since this was rolled out to the private sector it dried up a lot of work as companies were spooked for no reason about this. There is still work out there but the market is not as good as it was a year ago. The rates mentioned in this article are 'bad market rates'. Good market rates are higher.
I've seen some mention Inside-IR35 - there is a catch there. If you've done outside work, and then go inside, your tax gets bundled up and you can potentially end up paying top rate from the get-go, or finding your self with a higher tax burden than you expected. Talk to your accountant about that if you're planning to take on Inside gigs or a mix of both. I'd avoid umbrellas at all costs.
The idea that LLMs like GPT-4 are glorified stochastic parrots who are merely predicting the next word has been thoroughly debunked, almost no one in the field believes that anymore. Whats been proven so far is they actually understand your questions and their responses. Its also proven that they have some level of reasoning capabilities.

I highly recommend using it. Think of it as a Google replacement. Every engineer out there uses Google. Instead of spending hours on Google, you can spend a minute or two doing something new with the help of an LLM. They can be wrong, which is why they are better used in the hands of Senior Engineers.
> I like that you can graphically edit rows and it will start those changes as a transaction, so you can hit ctrl+s to commit the changes

One of my favorite features too. I don't doubt this has saved me from some
bad mistakes since you can use a methodology of "select rows to change" and manually set their value, then review, then Save, rather than issuing an update that tries to change them with SQL. For small scale ad hoc maintenance it's great.

> ...Chessable and other marketing teams are doing their best to convince amateurs otherwise

The study of openings is a very easy thing to 'productise' in comparison to other elements of chess. One's progress with learning openings is particularly tangible and easy to measure, but the law of diminishing returns sets in pretty quickly. There is also the more practical element that openings have names; it's quite difficult as a beginner to talk about more philosophical or abstract parts of the game, such as identifying and referring to the situations when a certain bishop is strong or not.

In many ways, the focus on openings is not a new phenomenon - chess opening books always seem to have dominated the genre of chess books. They're also excellent ways for publishers to sell updated editions... New openings are discovered like clockwork; the genre exists alongside sport almanacs and travel timetables as a perfect way to keep the printing presses going!
The headline made me think they were suing the tool, but they are really going after an AI offering made by Nvidia that used the copyrighted work.

Have they fixed the awful stability issues and the fact that a query that takes longer than ~5s will lock up the entire application until it completes?
That article confirms there is no crime being committed by using the name without consent (as no consent is legally needed under current NZ law).

They blame an outdated copyright system.

Given how long treat claims have been going on for, I’ve little sympathy for such perspectives. Get it in law, or leave it be. Don’t try guilt trip others over concepts that don’t exist outside Maoridom - like mana.

Seriously its threads like this that do nothing but reinforce negative connotations of Maori. It would have been better to race relations to not mention it.
I can't shake the feeling that this is one is AI generated.
> Why is this something Amazon has not fixed?

It's common to store metadata on DynamoDB where it can be queried, and just have whatever arbitrary links to the values in the buckets.
This tells me that you haven't used GPT-4 (Thats not the free ChatGPT), or have not learned how to prompt properly. You can't ask Stack Overflow follow up questions. If the code from stack overflow does not work in the way you expect it to or the answer is not 100% accurate, you can't ask Stack Overflow to correct it.

Also, its better in the hands of Senior Engineers who can evaluate answers for correctness, because just like Google/Stack overflow, it can be wrong.
That won’t get you all the way through the night, every night. At least not with anything close to typical household energy use in the US.

For that you need a properly sized off grid system, which can easily be 20-30 kW of solar and 50-150 kWh of batteries. Enough to get you through 50-10 cloudy days (depending on your location) with less than 1 kWh per day per kW from solar and 40-60 kWh per day of electricity use.
> More serious hobbyists seemed to have switched to Raspberry products at the time

Why would you use a Raspberry when an Arduino will do everything required? If you don't need a full Linux OS, then why waste it on something that just doesn't need it?
>Were they even the owners of the product when infringement occurred?

I believe that's answered in the first line of the article.
I know probably 95% of HN will see it as a downside but one of my favorite things about DBeaver is that because it is implemented on Eclipse you can install nearly any Eclipse plugin and they work. So I installed Vrapper to edit in Vi-mode, some git tools I like, PlantUML, etc. Really makes it a step above other tools in terms of the power and flexibility you can have with it.

Apart from that, you can install it inside regular Eclipse as a plugin, so then you can have your database window and your ER diagram next to your code. Again, something that really sets it apart from dedicated tools.
It's not "fixed" because it's not a problem. You're just using it wrong.
To me this part was the most interesting:

For most of the first eighteen years of his life, George Platen had headed firmly in one direction, that of Registered Computer Programmer. There were those in his crowd who spoke wisely of Spationautics, Refrigeration Technology, Transportation Control, and even Administration. But George held firm.

Why did Asimov in 1957 write as if Refrigeration technology would be so prominent in the future? Most people nowadays find the fridge to be a fairly boring technology.

So I googled it.

Apparently the fridge was only used by around 8 percent of American households in the early 1930’s. It didn’t become a standard part of American household life until the end of the 1940’s.

So by the time this story was published the fridge was only commonly part of your life for the past 7 years probably.

Curious.

Kinda like so much of science fiction nowadays fixates on phones. Or has smartphone analogues taking up a bunch of detail. Science fiction stories tend to be written so that recent tech advances continue to be mind blowing and awe inspiring centuries in the future.

Meanwhile only a few decades after this story was published the fridge became a standard boring part of life.
The word cure that you use seems pretty certain, and even your link doesn't use it to describe how the treatment affects the condition. Just curious, what made you say that it's curative? Do you know of people who've been cured by this therapy?

Tech companies will probably win. Copyright law is usually deployed to keep little people in line, and there's no danger of them being able to train SOTA AI models.

We're going to be in an awkward situation where pirating can net you a $150000 per mp3 fine but big companies can train on the said mp3s and produce a nearly identical product for you.

But that's why we have a giant police and propaganda machine.
What's your feeling those types of lawsuits will land? Probably many people are also facing product decisions today keeping in mind the potential precedence law in the future.

I kind of feel that in general with AI regulation, the USA will have to go all-in somehow. EU will delve into future obscurity, but this technology is too valuable and China is breathing behind's USA neck, so I expect law to continue to be lax around IP of data used to train AI models.
Have they ever considered ... idk, making a compelling product? They sat around watching the whole Metallica vs Napster saga unfold while calling the internet a fad and writing articles about how "blogs aren't trustworthy".

If they spent that time rubbing two brain cells together, they could have come up with something that, for example, resembled OG Hulu or Spotify -- A product that appealed to the new generation of news consumers instead of expecting them to faithfully put in a doorstep newspaper subscription like their parents did.

It doesn't avoid it fully though; some basic knowledge about opening theory is still essential. It is quite possible for certain permutations to open up wide gaping holes in each side's defences, which the more experienced player can use to checkmate almost immediately.
