I think you could bucket by age but have the ability to move kids around.

The problem is that these youth sports can get very competitive, and then people will be tempted to move the bigger kids down to get an advantage.

The question is, is this a serious article? Just let people ask, is there Java expert here. Who cares?
Could combine the existing real-time driving model with influence from the LLM, as an improvement to allow understanding of unusual situations, or as a cross-check?

I wasn't intending to say it would be useful today, but pushing back against what I understood to be an argument that, once we do have a model we'd trust, it won't be possible to run it in-car. I think it absolutely would be. The massive GPU compute requirements apply to training, not inference -- especially as we discover that quantization is surprisingly effective.
The problem is that there is no "normal usage" for a general purpose PC. It will run any software you want. I had a hyper-v bug that thrashed one of my SSD's and when the M1 launches they had a swap bug that thrashed them as well. The reality is that if something is a wear item a non zero part of the population will wear it out. To toss a perfectly good logic board for a suicidal SSD is absurdity.
You are free to not agree that giving housing subsidies is not crossing the line into bribe territory. I would say it's important for you to understand that for many people, there is a line. Your example of unlimited candy and soda as being a bribe is a bit odd, but also seems demonstrative to me that your thinking on this is further to an extreme than you might realize.

And yes - this is true of everything the government does. That's why it's an important thing to consider when the government promises to do something or provide a service. It can go away at any time, and people who became reliant on it will suffer it's loss.

That's why I'm saying it's really important to consider that for some people, certain policies can cross a line for what feels fair or what feels like a political bribe. Like I said, you're free to disagree with where that line is, but pretending it doesn't exist (or just writing off anyone on the other side of it) is a sure fire way to bring about consequences that just might be worse than what was originally happening.
Being strawmanned in the most mundane and cliched of ways is deserving of opprobrium. HN is better than that. It's tiresome.
So as you said it's not actually reasonable to think a train is going to get across the US in 48 hours.

Trains have to slow down a lot when going through rough terrain because there are curves involved. You can't go 80mph.
The best way to not make a router that sucks is not make a router. That is, the WiFi standard is not as standard as it should be and every router is chock full of workarounds for buggy devices.

Would Apple want to be responsible for making every piece of junk with a cheap WiFi module work... No I think they'll leave that thankless task to LinkSys.

Also wireless interfaces have long been Apple's weak point. They are great at making CPUs but they've struggled to make their own cellular modems

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-11-16/apple-pro...

There's also the problem that WiFi technology has advanced in speed beyond the wired backhaul that most people use in their LAN not to mention to connect to the wider internet. You're just not going to get the speeds that WiFi 6 and beyond promise unless you have a very unusual situation. It's true that WiFi 6E and forward open up a lot of new spectrum, but really everybody has been slow preparing their hardware for it. I've thought about upgrading some of the access hubs at my home but I don't think anything I own actually supports anything beyond WiFi 5 even though WiFi 6 has been out since I think 2019.

The Dashboard
Does anyone have a rough breakdown of the $70 million per year? Is that like 100 full-time scientists and engineers plus overhead (buildings, etc.)? Or are there ground-based hardware upgrade costs? Other?
Don't you always have to include the income even if you don't get 1099'd?

The $400 is only if it's your only income, otherwise plumbers could always charge $399 a visit and never pay tax.
No. It is the outcome of a culture that values individualism to a toxic level and has accepted decisions that make your life shorter as normal. Really very little to do with healthcare at all. Americans dont value their lifespan like others do but apparently that means our healthcare is bad? Like there are plenty of things to complain about with our healthcare why choose something that isnt even true.
Because not everyone likes a classic app launcher? I like how reliable gnome's search is, it replaces the start menu.

I just click super, see my workspaces, all of my running apps and can just directly start typing and find the app I'm looking for.

Why would I ever need a start menu? It's soo good that KDE added something similar recently.
I am interested in knowing why and how Google Chrome is not enough?
Gnome has a built in extension called “Applications Menu” that is just that.

I don’t really use it that much. I find opening search and typing what I want much faster. Or I use the dock
Global trade as a percentage of global GDP peaked somewhere around 2011 and has been steadily declining.

If you look at the US in particular the relative value of imports and exports is down about 30% from the peak 10 years ago. That's a big change for such a short duration

Most people use the term "artificial inflation" to reference the price of products going up for no real-world reason, or when the company lies about the reason. (As in, the price increase is explainable entirely -- or almost entirely, in higher margins for the company), but that the company blames on "inflation" anyway.

If "Company X" is publicly saying "our prices are higher because of inflation", but you can also clearly see that their costs are not meaningfully different and their margins are higher, simply because the market has no alternative but to eat them, that's "artificial inflation".
More like, get a history book, please. Different things happened in different places, but your summary's not very accurate. (There weren't any Christian countries thousands of years ago, with Armenia converting about 1715-ish years ago, so I'm not sure how anyone – Jewish or otherwise – could've lived in them.)
How could we know if this is because we can only measure these specific heights, not that they don't exist at other heights? And is there even a real difference between these two scenarios.
Kaluza–Klein Theory
> like every work of literature that characters reference is from the 20th c

A lot of literature today refers to bronze age religious texts(2700 years ago), Shakespeare(400 years ago), the Ramayana(2600-3kya), Romance of the Three Kingdoms(600ya), and so on. There are threads of Porto-Indoeuropean mythology preserved in the Vedas, Roman Mythology, and the Scandinavian Sagas.

I don't know much about Australian Aboriginal mythology, but there's strong evidence that their stories contain accurate details of extinct species and geographic features from thousands of years ago.

So it seems entirely possible that enough cultural material from the mid 20th century will survive until the 2500s for people at that time to have a good understanding of the 1950s in at least some places.
I had my bag stolen with clothes + work laptop out of my rental car in San Francisco, from the trunk, while parked in an underground garage with security on patrol.

SF has an especially bad problem with shoplifting and robberies, but it's happening in a lot of other places too.

A friend who worked in a senior position at a FAANG had his phone stolen while it was unlocked, and within minutes they had disabled Find My. They had full access to his work accounts + private data + identity documents for several hours, so he has to get everything replaced. Crazy that for most folks the most valuable assets isn't the device itself but the information on it, and criminals have started to realize that.

I am not saying Intel needs to cut 80% like twitter, what I am trying to say that Intel can cut a lot without any impact.
Great questions.
1. Yes, running tests in parallel helps. We also cache actions so subsequent runs are much faster (this is disabled in the demo).
2. I agree that testing can be much more reliable and pleasant in some codebases than others. I have not been blessed with these types of codebases in my career. Flakiness is from personal experience automating UI tests specifically and having them break when a new nondeterministic popup modal is added or another engineer breaks an identifier/locator strategy.
That being said, if you like writing UI tests and your codebase supports easily maintaining them, there are some really cool DSLs like Maestro!
I quoted the section from the Python module here. [1]

If you do not specify multi-line, bar$ matches a lines ending in bar, either foobar\n or foobar if the terminating newline has been removed or does not exist. If you specify multi-line, then it will also match at every bar\n within the string. So it either treats your input as a single line or as multiple lines. You can of course not specify multi-line and still pass in a string with additional newlines within the string, but then those newlines will be treated more or less as any other character, bar$ will not match bar\n\n. The exception is that dot will not match them except you set the single-line/dot-all flag, bar\n$ will match bar\n\n but bar.$ will not unless you specify the single-line/dot-all flag.

I would even agree with you that it seems a bit weird. If you have a proper line without additional newlines in the middle, then multi-line behaves exactly like not multi-line. Not multi-line only behaves differently if you confront it with multiple lines and I have no good idea how you would end up in a situation where you have multiple lines and want to treat them as one unit but still treat the entire thing as if it was a line.

Don't leave me hanging, too specific about what?
Don’t you? When there’s something wrong in your mouth, do you look in the mirror, use your tongue on it, use a toothbrush or floss or toothpick on the problem before going to see the dentist? Or do you feel pain in your mouth and magically you’re at the dentist without doing any of the above?

Ask HN: 10 years as a developer, how to double down and improve?
Hey HN,

I've spent 10 years working as a software engineer now, and I can't help but feel that I'm very shallow in almost everything that I do. I've worked for small early-stage startups, and a FAANG and now am at a midsize corporation. Happy with my job but I want to double down on being a developer.

I want to build impressive things. I want to try my hand at a text editor from scratch. I want to build an HTTPS proxy that works at the byte level, opening sockets and applying encryption. I want to do all these things and whenever I start these projects I realize that my only skill that I have is building applications on top of modern frameworks and libraries.

I have no understanding of the fundamentals, don't know when to reach for more powerful data structures, algorithms, etc. I'd like to have an understanding but I've just never built it.

I've fallen prey in the past to the "shiny new thing" syndrome and now am doubling down on a small set of languages to "Get Stuff Done." How can I double down on being a developer? How do you improve on technical skills 10 years into your career? It's been ages since I've had a mentor to look after me and help me to get better at what I'm doing. What do you all do to keep building relevant skills and keep improving?

I've spent plenty of time improving soft skills as well, but really love the technical side.

Thanks in advance for any help/responses.
I’m not sure what you mean by application launcher. Is Super not enough?

Super, type 2 or 3 letters of the program I want, enter. Works really well for me.
Things being cheaper off-peak is not new, and is not surprising. We still have movie theater matinees, out-of-season hotel rates. Many (most?) electric companies have discounted after-hour tariffs. People of my generation will remember discounted long distance calls on "nights and weekends". We all are aware of "happy hours".

But there's a difference between peak pricing, which we're all familiar with, or when you can be left stranded or having paid money for something that suddenly escalates in price with the hour for no good reason, for no reason, and for no fault of your own.

I took an Uber to a show the other night and paid $11. Great. Suddenly, the ride home - same distance, no traffic, no weather conditions - was over $38. No way I could have predicted it in advance. I used a different service that got me home for, yes, $11, but sheesh.

Peak pricing is just business, and for a consumer, off-peak published rates present a valid choice. Sudden, 400x escalation in pricing for no obvious reason is chaos, the dream of monopolies against mere people.
There are a -lot- of stuff grown in desert climates, believe it or not. I think it's a fine idea, just that the price needs to accurately reflect the water usage and only then determine if it's worth continuing or not. Right now it's not really factored in at all, and cities are starting to crunch for water.

As an anecdote, I currently live in the desert, and the pecan farmers nearby use so much water that we get mosquitos pretty badly at times of the year.
This, plus the Internet Oracle, and actually e-mailing to listservs for files to “download” and then uudecode out of mail message sequences.
So I love Rive—the product and the company. And I love open source.

But this is an MIT license for Rive's rendering abstraction layer, a subset of the Rive runtime that requires the Rive Editor to build content for.

I'm just curious about the goals for open sourcing this and what your hope and plan is for the larger community you'd like to build around it. Can you think of perhaps another project that would benefit from adopting just the renderer? Thanks!
If by calling Google means doing a simple search using their platform, sure, I called them:

https://www.google.com/search?q=Shuttle+Challenger+report

The very first result is a very official looking link to a .gov site. The second link is to the wikipedia article on the investigation. The third link is to a link from NASA. These are not QAnon level "does his own research" level results like your quippy thoughts.

So, compared to you, yes, I do know all about it. I know people that worked on the shuttle missions and were in mission control on the day of the Challenger disaster. They lost friends that day. I'm seemingly orders of magnitude closer to it than "i saw it live on TV as a kid".

I just did, and received an email for each review I ever posted, I guess they are taking my reviews down.
The worst one of these that affected me was money helping people in the 2008 housing crisis. qualifying was based on what percentage of your income your mortgage payment was. So I would have got it if I had made a little less money, or if i had bought a house I knew I couldn’t afford. It felt like being punished for making the right decisions.
Analogous to the metaphor you just made, the "better solution" is not talking to people. I'm all-for open and secure communication protocols, but the layman isn't going to agree if you cast it as an all-or-nothing mentality.
I'd say almost the opposite in practice.

GPUs, as they became programmable (and maybe even a little bit before that...), started to take cues from SIMD Supercomputers. So the compute methodologies were researched first, and then GPUs (ie: applications to graphics) were applied afterwards.

I've heard rumors that the first programmable GPUs were considered because GPUs already were in SIMD-style compute and running instructions in a programmable way at the hardware/firmware level. It just needed to be "revealed" to OpenGL or DirectX programmers.
I can see Gen Z having issues, but I'm a millennial and I bought my house 9 years ago. Homes were very affordable. Rent for me from college -> this time was also very affordable. I heard the same arguments 10+ years ago: things are too expensive/I can never afford a house, when it just wasn't true.

"because they don't think it's worth it work like a slave just to own a home and have nothing else."

Too many people I knew in college partied and spent all of their money on booze, drugs, and the latest gadgets for years during college and many years after.

I saved my money and never had the latest smart phone until a few years ago. I don't think I went on a single vacation (besides some weekend trips) during my 20s.
As someone who lives in an area with plenty of high-density residential buildings, I can attest that I love it and I wish there were more American cities that were an option for my lifestyle.

Those are extremely biased, to put it mildly. Also random YouTube videos are not scientific evidence.

DEI has become a new conservative talking point but so far I haven't seen any evidence that such programs do anything to restrict hiring "white and Asian male[s]" as you put it. I've noticed some people complaining about what they imagine DEI means which is just the same old "affirmative action" complaints recycled.

I'm not saying there are not some cases of DEI-induced discrimination - the world is wide after all - but that isn't what DEI policies/programs say in their text or how they're intended to work. I have never seen anyone saying we should lower standards to meet some kind of "quota".

Again I want to point out that the numerous conservative attacks on affirmative action constantly claimed it was a quota system despite that being a flat-out lie. That makes me skeptical about this current round of conservatives blaming everything from the airline pilot shortage to fab personnel issues on "DEI".

It doesn't matter too much, aircraft don't rely solely on any GNSS for navigation, because they're all susceptible to similar availability issues. Magnetic, inertial, barometric, and land-based radio systems are also used. One or more of those other systems are used as a fallback when GNSS fails.

>All the commands in a bash pipeline do start at the same time, but output goes into the pipeline buffer whenever the writing process writes it. There is no specific point where the "output from jobA is ready".

Right, I didn't mean to give the impression that there's a time at which all input from jobA is ready at once. But there is a time when jobB can start reading stdin, and there's a time when jobA closes the handle to its stdout.

The reason I split jobA's output into two commands is to show that jobB starts reading 3 seconds after the command begins, and jobB finishes reading 2 seconds after reading the first output from jobA.

I would very much like to see a study from a credible source who came to this conclusion based on a survey of different health care systems.

What I believe is more likely is people looking at the kind of regulations being used and concluding that the correlation between good and bad regulations can be directly tied to the profit motives behind said regulations. A purely state run health care system has zero incentive to impose regulations that seek to raise costs and hurt competitors because, by definition, there is no completion. A purely private health care system has a lot of incentive to regulate the amount of doctors (to keep wages high) or make reporting costs extremely high to push out the smaller hospitals and increase their market share &etc.

I suspect that reality falls somewhere in the middle no matter what system you look at and everyone wants to argue from the extremes (or accuse someone else as being an extremist as you so helpfully demonstrated) so there is no real dialog for trying to fix anything.
LLMs and recursive reduction in output diversity [video]
Every group I know of that actually advocates for density does have this as their goal. It is a bit odd that the external reputation is that they do not, to the point that parallel orgs sometimes appear advocating for pretty much the same things but "with more emphasis on livability" or similar.
