You know the comparison is flawed and the two kinds of work are very different in almost every way. I expect some kinds of work to be measured in different ways than other, in the same way I don't think programmers should be paid per keypress.
From this blog(https://engineering.mercari.com/en/blog/entry/20240206-3a12b...), it appears that Tortoise provides a feature that I think could be called managed HPV. It offers a way for administrators to configure and manage complex HPV policies while requiring minimal configuration from application developers (i.e., the users of HPV). BTW, I have a pet turtle and really like the pictures in the documentation.
Exciting? Possibly for those involved.

I hate to say this, as I'm generally optimistic towards most developments like this, but over the last decade I've become so apathetic towards anything and everything from Google. They've lost so much mindshare and credibility. Their org structure leads to stagnation left, right and centre.

I'd rather tolerate the poor status quo in React land than take any sort of bet on Google getting something "newish" right.

It wasn't always like this.
Same, canceled my subscription of nearly 10 years last week. It felt like every inch of the interface was being used to push podcasts in my face. I came to Spotify to play music and discover new music. Both of those were getting more difficult to do, so now I use YouTube Music (which I was already paying for via YouTube Premium).
It's really not about the hours. It's getting the job done and helping out etc. I've gotten every job in a long career post-school through my network and I've never worked more than ~40 hours except in specific situations. I agree with the other comments. I am flexible and generally available but that doesn't mean I'm working ridiculous hours. I guess that means a certain discipline in that regard.
>Before doing that, try watching some experiments with fireproof containers specifically designed for these fires

I watched a bunch of those videos on YouTube when I was in the market for one and ended up not buying any. The ones that were fully sealed just exploded and the ones that were vented shot 3 foot tall flames and showers of sparks out of the vents igniting everything on the ground around the container. Better to just charge the bike outside on pavement or concrete away from anything flammable.

I'm not an expert, but I've been reading lately that the plaque vector has been so well studied because it's the only direction that has been able to get funding. Conspiracy aside, this seems like a more common thing now - someone has a little bit of possible progress, and no one will give any money to any other thing, often at our detriment.
Because it's never just for engineering purposes anymore. Marketing departments are CRAZY about consumer data of any kind and you can be assured the value of such collected data will be maximized on the information exchange market. Advertisers pay good money for trustable data streams, which can be essentially de-anonymized with enough cross correlation between sources. A GPU happens to be a good place to capture user activity, since from the screen buffer you can tell what website they visit, what videos they watch and what games they play.

This stuff is rather hush hush not to scare people but it's also well documented and certainly not an unfounded conspiracy. Its also why Europeans have adopted far reaching privacy laws (GDPR), their industries don't rely on consumer surveillance the way Americans have developed for the last decades.

Ok then perhaps offer a better approximation, let's say 50% of profit instead of the 100% share. That is still a very decent wage and is on top of the existing labour expense which profit has already accounted for

> Social policies to improve birth rates such as enhanced parental leave, free childcare, financial incentives, and extra employment rights, may provide a small boost to fertility rates, but most countries will remain below replacement levels

The poorest, most religious, and least developed countries have the highest birth rate. We should be honest with ourselves about why people aren’t having kids.
"Fool your users while you smother the competition with good tech" is an important part to Google's success: as PaulG mentions, Google is a good example because everyone knows about them.

People partially flocked to them (me included) because of their public stance on ads, and then they played me.

Without claiming things they did the opposite from, one can't help but wonder if they would have ever succeeded? And would that have made them a story to tell at all?
Your Steam Deck does everything it was meant to do even if a better model is out. This happens all the time, Nintendo also released an improved model with OLED, it doesn’t make my launch Switch worse but it’s great people have the option to upgrade to that.
Good points.

It didn’t matter that Yeltsin was the most liberal of all. He did not roll over and play dead for NATO expansion and balkanisation projects. So he became a pariah overnight and was painted as an alcoholic and corrupt.

> What do you suppose your role will be in the society you are imagining? Hint: it likely won't be anywhere close to being able to make decisions for yourself.

So you now have the ability to predict what a new society would be like? What about societies that have done it before? The Amish do it pretty well (except for their insistence on having large numbers of children).

You know, I am often accused of being a "doomer" or some other such, but your lack of imagination and belief in our ability to be sustainable is both astounding and depressing.
Trayd (YC S23) Is Growing Hiring Solutions Engineer
Linus himself made that point a few months ago (https://youtu.be/YyRVOGxRKLg). If you take a look at how devoid large, important, old OSS projects are of young talent in their 20s, 30s and sometimes even 40s it's looking incredibly bleak.

Rust is technically an improvement over memory unsafe language but it also has created enthusiam among largely young and proficient coders. The ecosystem has a lot of dynamism. Drawing those people in is one of the, if not the single most important thing for the health of projects going forward with how many leaders are close to retirement.

Meta just published their new optimization results [1]. According to them

> training a 7B model on 512 GPUs to 2T tokens using this method would take just under two weeks.

In this context a GPU is an NVIDIA A100, which you can buy, if you can buy, for $10000.

And this is after an explosion of ideas that lead to unthinkable optimizations just two years ago.

If someone did train such a model 2 years ago, it would have cost hundreds of millions. Now it's 5 million. Maybe in 2 years it's going to be only $50k. Should you start a startup now and invest $5 million, an risk someone stealing the show for pennies in 2 years? If you do, I really can't see if you can afford to open source the results of your training.

I agree as someone who has spent the past decade working in Angular all day and then React. And I don't love React.
Shader compilation happens on CPU, and is neither simple nor (for the nvidia compiler) open source.

GPU drivers are significantly more complicated than any other drivers because they do things that are not considered part of a driver for any other device, the proprietary nV driver contains roughly as much code as the linux kernel.
Isn't SSPL compatible with the GPL? If so you could "just" republish your stack under the new license. Not sure how feasible this strategy is in practice, as any company's stack is vast and no one wants to enumerate it all...

Saying they definitely won't or they definitely will are equally over-broad and premature.

I currently expect we'll need another architectural breakthrough; but also, back in 2009 I expected no-steering-wheel-included self driving cars no later than 2018, and that the LLM output we actually saw in 2023 would be the final problem to be solved in the path to AGI.

Prediction is hard, especially about the future.
Correct, that should tell you everything you need to know about the market value, and why they don’t get constant royalties for images. There’s a lot of competition because many people are willing to do it for little money.

I do not understand why people think this is bad though, that’s just how the market value of services is determined.

Space kinds of looks like sea ( danger being always present and you're alone to face it) but it's also very different for the following reason:

> Viewed like that, asteroids are kinda like islands, where some fresh fruit, timber etc may be found. Adventurers may like it & hang there while the ship sails on.

They are very much unlike islands: on an island humans get back to there land-dweller lifestyle, they can get food, fresh, water materials and they are safe from the danger of the sea. An asteroid offers none of that, you cannot just get spare parts on the asteroid, nor food and it's as dangerous as before (void, radiations). In fact, except for dedicated machines designed to mine them, it's very unlikely anyone ever lands on an asteroid because it gives you practically no benefit over floating in space and is very costly in terms of propulsion (both to land and to leave, because you need to get to the speed of the asteroid and then leave it).
I've found that these two tips help

* Putting in time to learn the product as a user of it before trying to develop for it is time well spent. In my experience it makes it easier to read the code afterwards

* When a codebase is old and you're reading a file where 10 to 20 developers have done a pass of bugfixes on it, it may not immediately be obvious what everything does and why some checks are being done. Going through the history and checking earlier versions of the file sometimes helps me getting the basics of it down

That will indeed happen: AI and robots will replace more humans. There will be a tiny cadre of elite who are free to do whatever they want, while the rest of humanity will mostly be relegated to manual labor such mining for more material for more technological growth. We will likely also be given drugs and highly technological brainwashing so that we continue to serve the tech elite.

Nice release! This looks good, docs look really nice too. I'd use HTMX anywhere I can to improve a basic HTML site.

One word of warning for people considering HTMX though – it's not a framework, it's an appliance.

In my experience with it, I ran into problems integrating with HTMX very quickly. Drop it into your project, use the HTML attributes, and it'll be great. However if you need custom Javascript, HTMX provides little in the way of an integration path (the lifecycle events are basic), and nothing in the way of structure, and can even get in the way in places where its lifecycle causes issues in the lifecycle of whatever you're adding. To add your own Javascript you'll almost certainly want Jquery or React/Svelte/etc, and with the latter you'll get interactions between their lifecycles.

If you're using it entirely via the HTML API, and you're happy to accept that sometimes it won't do something, you'll be fine. If you're looking to add units of more complex client-side functionality in places, try prototyping with it to make sure it works well, it didn't for me.

I’ll echo everyone else saying you should read his books (and not just Fire/Deepness) but wanted to note that while I never met him in person, I know a few people who have and literally everyone has started by describing him as one of the nicest people they met.

For some speculative context: this is because of the "pivot to Asia" as the US does not have a strategic arms reduction treaty with China and is not intended to escalate the arms race with Russia (although that might be a side-effect).
Indeed, and most of us focus on the adoption of the bicycle as a practical mode of transportation, but the earliest bikes were not. So the evolution of the bike had to go through a phase when it was a toy, being refined as a toy. Just the act of managing a bike was the purpose of riding the earliest ones. Then people started going on recreational rides. Then recreational riding finally created demand for a safer bike. And a safe, manufactured bike, turned it into transportation.

The uniform, smaller size of safety bike wheels also enabled adoption of pneumatic tires.
For people who didn't know: Wiz is apparently a internal framework that Google uses for their apps that wasn't ever open sourced (at least, not completely, based on a quick search).

I have a very specific (and pretty easy) strategy for this when I join a new org. Technically you could do this at any time, but you generally have a "grace window" when you're new where people are happy to go out of their way to meet you and teach you.

First, meet 1 on 1 with every member of your immediate team. This of course serves as a "get to know you" meet, but your real goal is to get them to explain their work to you. Have them go into as much detail as time allows on whatever they're currently working on. Ask followup questions that start with "why" on everything. Have them show you their part(s) of the product, have them share as many docs as they're willing to (for you to read async later), etc.

Put aside whatever ego you may have, and just get into a beginner's/learning mindset. Ask all the stupid questions.

Then, at the end, ask them who else they're working with from other teams. Put those names on a list, and rinse and repeat with them. This way you'll start local to your role and work your way outward in the company. Eventually you'll find people that are doing nothing particularly relevant to you and you can decide to stop.

If it's a larger company, this is also where you establish your understanding of the org chart and who does what in it, and also makes you known to a ton of folks who may want or need to work with you in the future - which is invaluable in and of itself.
A not-insignificant part of that deficit though was programs and tax cuts from the previous administration. I agree, our government probably shouldn't be allowed to spend money it doesn't have, but the obvious solution (higher taxes, especially on the wealthy) isn't politically palatable, so every president is locked into the same pattern: start a bunch of spending, but back-load the actual expenses so the next administration has to deal with it. The deficit has gone down over the last few years, which means that we're getting more revenue and saving some money, but because deficit is an easier number to digest than change-in-deficit, we keep whinging about it rather than changing anything. And then the next administration comes in and points fingers at the previous while continuing the cycle of overspending.

FWIW the current administration and Congress have done a historically slightly-above-average job of reducing the deficit, I won't call it good but it's at least not terrible. The current spending isn't the problem, it's stuff from a few years ago coming to bite us in the ass.
I lived and worked in the city. I did not find this to be the case at all. (I had a motorcycle).
The first point is one I strongly agree with. It is bewildering, trying to understand a codebase from the bottom up. The best part of learning it as a user, is that you can also make meaningful edits to the product page or user documentation that is often completely overlooked by devs.

Gold.

For a true 1960s Australian Pub experience they need to not only segregate the sexes but have a small window to the outside through which not whites are served.

New South Wales resident Jason Lau has complained that the museum, known as Mona, is engaging in illegal discrimination.

You have to wonder if he's a plant.
The restriction isn't that "you can't run the software as a service without offering the source." You're thinking of the AGPL, which is recognized as an open source license by the OSI. Redis's license has changed to the SSPL, which requires anyone who runs Redis as a service to release the source code to "all programs that you use to make the Program or modified version available as a service" under the SSPL. This makes it effectively impossible for a cloud provider to actually try to comply with the license, as it would require a massive engineering effort to write a new operating system, new device drivers, new programming language implementations, new web stack, etc all licensed under the SSPL.
> Comments on the book

> The restrictions on hash bits used by “hashcash” are just a variant of the “puzzles” that Ralph Merkle envisioned decades earlier; this is not noted in the book.

Merkle's puzzles (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merkle%27s_Puzzles) aim to establish a shared key between 2 parties and involve breaking encryption with a short key by brute force. Hashcash involves finding inputs to a hash function, commiting to some message, whose output is below a target threshold, also by brute force. Similar in their brute force nature, but not a variant.

> The current situation, where there are only a few giant mining pools that in a way act as mint, and a few trading sites that act as banks, is not mentioned.

The pools have hundreds of individual independent contributors.

> This has resulted in limiting privacy (because the network that exchanges transactions is small), and also in less democracy (because the mining network operators determine the code base).

Miners have only limited influence over the code base. They cannot make any consensus changes. They can only enforce soft-forks that further restrict existing rules.
Hard time = looking for the better part of a year or more. Not 2 months which is pretty common outside of the tech boom.
