I like the idea and have been thinking of a simpler yet effective method. For now, I've set my family devices to be;

- All settings, the app preferences, app data are saved via iCloud, so their game preferences are carried over when changing devices.

- I've added cheap portable drives as Time Machines for their MacBook. My daughter thinks I'm a geeky magician when I let her fly through time to recover her work/play.

I'm yet to make them learn and think in terms of files and not just apps. They have no concept of saving!

Edit: Removed the cheesy photo.

Could you stick the guts of a mouse you like into a shell you can live with?

Hot snot, CA, solder and a dremel might be all you need to get started.

You could always 3D print later once you know what you want.

Good luck.

Great article. It's so long, the four-part title is deserved and necessary to understand what's here.

I found this part somewhat funny or perhaps disingenuous:

> "I admit Vision Pro is the ultimate tech toy, but since I’m not an active developer I can’t justify the $4,049.78 price tag (512GB model + California sales tax) simply for keeping up with the VR market, so I returned my Vision Pro for a full refund inside the 14-day return window."

Mr Barra has held VP positions at companies like Google, Xiaomi and Meta since 2008. He's obviously a multimillionaire just from stock awards. Surely he can afford a $4k toy...
Would you want to be the policing agency that did not, only to be later found that it was the case? Authority should investigate and go where the investigation takes them. Have someone look at the camera systems, determine if it has been hacked, look at the footage and compare it - due diligence is not a bad thing.
I remember we were staying in a hotel Ibis in a cheap part of the city (I was still in grad school), not sure where now we went a few times. The hotels are now Travelodge, I think. We are avid walkers so we went down Rue Sherbrooke and angled toward the water and just stumbled onto it. It was sunny and the craftsmen had the doors open. So we went in just to see.

How did I know? I didn't. But it related to my own story about buying the one really high-quality piece of furniture I own.
Fellow programmer dad comments here…

The art of backup for Minecraft worlds is just so convoluted / bad… on Kindles, on Nintendo Switch, etc. I’ve spent hours, made bits of progress, but have found it so exhausting I have kind of given up… Finally just started transitioning kids to laptops with better backup options.

(I was hex editing disk sectors in my youth to mess with games and have been searching the web to solve programming problems for 20 years so I’m not completely incompetent. I am more impatient/annoyed however.)

It all gets worse when you mix in parental controls. Parental controls software are another thing that is unbelievably cumbersome to use effectively, particularly YouTube.

Parenting with clear rules and expectations and some oversight seems wildly successful in comparison… but it’d be nice if the tech worked well for the user, not just the buyer making the initial sale.
Someone needs to turn stuff into an Apartment or a burger no matter how libertarian or communist the policies are. It takes time, it transforms a society.

Generally speaking, money is for bookkeeping among agents that produce and consume value and the production and consumption has natural speed within the laws of physics. When people who move around faster and demand stuff to consume than the people who produce, then you have local bubbles that disrupts the society.

Also, since the output of the people is finite the larger is your elite class the less stuff to consume for everyone. Better have you elites becoming elites because they dramatically increased the production of the stuff they consume(for example, they might have invented the internet and the services on it and improved efficiency of trade or they might have made great music and improved the working conditions of people who work in insulation, thus more people accepted the job etc.). If you have an elite that is growing faster than they improve the yield, then you have a parasitic class that might end up destroyed if grows too big.

I think it's just a standard corporate insularness. Devs being paid to work on the software by the corporation view outsiders as a nuisance and certainly don't like outsiders giving them more work to do. They'd rather find justifications to remove features reinvent old systems to "reduce legacy cruft" (make their jobs easier.). Basically, it all makes sense if you assume standard commercial developer motivations.
No problem, easy mistake. Joking is the only way I can deal with this stuff.

It's a widely recognized problem in the US - they built the highways through the politically marginalized communities. The Biden administration has a program to repair some of that, and I wonder if that's where Atlanta is getting funding.

We're not organized, like other professions, where third parties can actively judge your performance based on public information (publicish...?: lawyers, architects, doctors, etc.); but therws's not an obvious direct relationship to our trade (mechanic, construction, ...). We're treated, at best, like middle management, where expectations are set by factors like past experience (working at the "right" companies), and personal charisma.

I suppose that's the trade off our industry has chosen? It may be fundamental. I think I'd still prefer some way to map the IC portion of the job onto "trade", and the leadership part into "management".
I've obviously never bought a hitman off of the dark web. However, it seems like these services aren't going anywhere. I'm not sure if they're all a scam or what.

The interesting case with Boeing is, its not only that the company would want this person gone, but rather the entire US government too. Boeing is "too big to fail."
I'm not a lawyer, but if he was dead before the deposition, it doesn't really count. In order to have any weight, he would've had to been under oath, in a deposition, some type of very official interview and documentation. It's like when a mob witness goes missing. If they can't testify, they can't testify.
City limits are important because each city in a metro area could have different zoning and noise ordinance laws. Or even just law enforcement that's more or less strict in one city than another. This can help to shape the culture in each city in a metropolitan area.
I wouldn't say "gentrified", techno just evolved from the Detroit roots, first in the UK and then continental Europe (Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, etc.).

Techno came from an already gentrified African-American community in Detroit, the Belleville Three [0] were from a more affluent part of Detroit at the time, inspired by the 70s/80s German and Japanese electronic music scene, it was never like the roots of hip-hop...

Or the employee can stick to the 32 and force the company to fire them.
> We call it "prompt caching"

No, that's something completely different than what bravura is talking about, which is why he made a comment to say explicitly that he still thinks you're missing the point.

From your roadmap:

> Prompt Caching - Introduce a caching layer to the LLM calls to dramatically reduce the cost of running Skyvern (memorize past actions and repeat them!)

Adding a caching layer is not what they're asking for. They want to periodically use Skyvern to generate automation code, which they could then deploy themselves in their testing/CI setup. Eventually their target website may make breaking UI changes, then you use Skyvern to generate new automation code. Rinse and repeat. This has nothing to do with an internal caching layer within your service.
GitOps for API-Management
With the proliferation of APIs and microservices, it is more important than ever for businesses to effectively and consistently manage their APIs, and the API-Management service from Azure is designed to do just this. But how should …
He only made it through the first day of his deposition, he still had another day to go. Anything he was going to say on day 2 is now in the wind. They might also be able to have the deposition thrown out if Boeing wasn't there or had requested a different date (though that would have obviously terrible optics).

My guess is that he was killed, but I don't have a guess whether it was some kind of plot by a higher up at Boeing, a rogue Boeing employee, or some random wackjob that's not involved otherwise. Boeing higher ups have motive, but it does feel too sloppy for a planned hit by a defense contractor. Surely they would have some CIA/FBI contacts who could give them a better plan than a mysterious mid-deposition "suicide". Surely they could rig a car to crash or something that looks more accidental.

That's the case for cable Internet, which I wager is a large plurality of Internet connections in the US. At least Charter for the past few years has been rolling out equipment along their cable network to support more uplink bandwidth for symmetrical service, called "high split" I think.

That seems like a worse thing, it says something about the field. There are always going to be individuals who do things wrong, or wrong things. But ultimately, it really comes down to how the group behaves and the goals they seek.

It would be useful if the Everest routes had active base stations all the way up and down the route. They could form a mesh network and precisely locate every climbers on the way up and down the mountain. Put them in place at the beginning of each season.

I'm aware that this dramatically changes the 'adventure' of climbing Everest but I don't care because if it saves one Sherpa or guide then I think it will have served its purpose
Interesting hypothesis but my money is on the opposite direction of causality. When you're surrounded by dishonesty on a daily basis, you get de-sensitized to it. You start to see it as "normal" or as "everyone does it". And then you start to think "Oh, what's the harm if I just fudge a little bit here and there. It's not like I'm profiting off of this. Unlike all these other millionaires who do far worse"

Sure, it's easy for us to think "I would never do anything like that, no matter what others around me are doing". But as someone who has lived in multiple countries, trust me - the vast majority of the things we do are simply a reflection of what we see other people doing.

When you inoculate cattle rumen normally the shared water trough keeps it going. So you might inoculate some cattle then the rest will also get inoculated. It might even be tied individual cows losing the inoculation, the herd can keep it going.

Similarly having camels with cattle does this, since camels naturally have gut bacteria of value they pass it on through shared water.

Once thing I noticed going from sharing a beer with our goats to soft drink, beer being a brown bottle, soft drink being clear there would be a lot of cud in the bottle.

Of course in modern society digesting plants more efficiently is bad. More energy makes you fatter and roughage is good.
I was trying to make a comparison to the €100 rooms from 20 years ago. That would be a single room in a 4-6 person shared flat. Those are still €500-ish. (In places just outside the ring like Treptow, Britz, Wedding, Lichtenberg.) In my shared two person flat back then I paid €300 (bills included). That room now would be way over €500.

I know it is a social norm on HN to provide links. But come on, you can just search and find a hundred studies. At some point, just go read them.
I don't think that's true at all. I think most "CS majors" would need to study how to do those things, but none of them are conceptually difficult and build on the same algorithmic and data structures knowledge you learn for other tasks.

I never built a compiler until I did. I never built an operating system until I did. (I don't remember when I started doing computer graphics, though, because that was a long time ago.)
then maybe consider using real evidence instead of something that isn't evidence of anything.

That's why I say our vocabulary for talking about these things leaves something to be desired - the way we use the word "intelligence" combines both raw/potential ability to do something (prediction), and the experience we have that allows that ability to be utilized. The only way you are going to learn to actually write a novel is by a lot of reading and writing and learning how to write something that provides the experience you hope it to have.
Isn't it always a good idea to test your implementations against a known correct implementation? Like, if I were testing, say, a SHA implementation, I would also test against the results from an independent implementation. How is this an issue with Julia the language?

This is fascinating. I had another experience that I think sheds light on some of this. One day I was in my office and the lights were off. I turned around and looked at the dark shape on top of my coworkers desk. For a few seconds I stared blankly and then suddenly I had a thought: PC, it's his PC. Then I started to think about that period of time just before I realized what I was looking at... The only word I can describe what it felt like is: unconscious. Is it possible that consciousness is just a stream of recognition?

Also mlock to prevent the memory page being written to disk and make sure to properly overwrite the secret data once you no longer need it. Make sure this doesn't get optimized away.

It seems we hear fairly often about mercenary - as opposed to ideological - killings that are revealed to be such only long after the fact. It would seem gratuitous to assume that all such killings are eventually revealed.

For example, the U.S. and German governments have taken the position that the Russian federation conspired to have a Chechen leader killed in Berlin, Germany[1]. He was ultimately caught, and surveillance footage seems to have played a role, but if you look into the details of the case, it seems likely he was an experienced contract killer who could have gotten away with many other lower-profile killings.

Errors are different in every stdlib or 3rd party package I've ever used.

The ecosystem as a whole decided that errors should be useful, values, and properly bubbled up - and that your application should not be so hard to reason about that you need a stack trace to know where in the deep recesses of your code something went wrong.

I love stack traces in Java, but I don't miss them at all in Go.

You had me until WiFi ping. One thing you learn doing electronics with batteries pretty quickly is that WiFi just destroys battery. Even just turning the radio on (which you must do for any low power device, they are idling in deep sleep otherwise) is going to cost you orders of magnitude more power than anything non radio related. The most efficient devices that ping something on battery use some alternative low power protocol that isn’t full WiFi. The story around BLE is significantly better but also the rise of thread and Matter makes these alternative ways of communication more viable these days.
