Microsoft: Technology giant splits Teams and Office globally
I just built an app with Rust and Svelte with ~25k LoC, the app was solid, and working on it was a joy. New team lead got hired, wasn't familiar with Rust, said we'd have trouble hiring Rust devs, and threw it all out. We're now building a Python / ReactJS app from scratch.

Lol this does not currently exist. Sure some unis are doing LLM research at the doctoral level but no masters program is going to cover anything but the barest of basics of training or finetuning an LLM. You're honestly better off hanging out on r/localLlamma and r/machineLearning to keep up to date because degree programs are hopelessly behind.

Now each job posting requires 10 years of experience in it which is more or less organizing its nonsensical convoluted yaml files.

The US has massive immigration that allow it to avoid these problems.

Most other countries however do not, like Europe, Japan, China, etc...

(yes Europe is not a country)
Agree. JS/TS is not a good environment for large software projects maintained over a long period of time. I'm not 100% convinced Rust is either, yet. cargo seems to be a dumpster fire. Build tools generate TB of mystery disk bloat. Obsession with async... hopefully these issues can be resolved.
Games I understand, but what makes automotive a place that uses a lot of binary files?
Why Templ? What are the advantages over html/template? It seems to just recreate JSX in Go.

I should add, I'm someone who heavily dislikes JSX and prefers SFCs.
I wouldn't dream to speak for Maciej Cegłowski here. I would require a greater depth of literacy and far more Eastern European family history to achieve that level of sardonic commentary. But... I don't think he'd appreciate the reference.

Does it go from white pine back to currants?
Just so. Today, I'd be able to get by with an EV if one were to miraculously appear before me, but none of them could have replaced an ICE for the kind of tasks we use our vehicle for at the time of our last refresh cycle (~6 years ago) at a remotely competitive cost.

Early adopters are going to early adopt, and people in high income brackets who own multiple vehicles can readily afford to have an ICE vehicle and an EV, but there are finite numbers of these folks out there to sell to. I reckon only recently EVs have gotten good and cheap enough to seriously replace ICE vehicles in the mass market.

Personally, I've got zero incentive to replace our fully functional ICE vehicle with any vehicle (EV or otherwise) until its "pretty darn reliable" service life ends - which I would place at least another 5 years in the future - at which point EVs will have closed even more of the gaps.

> 4 miles per kilowatt

You probably know this, but FYI it’s per kilowatt-hour.

Anecdote: my Model S Plaid’s efficiency over 23,000 miles is 305 Watt-hours per mile.
> And of course we don’t have free will. We have experience, which fools us into thinking we are in control.

Not sure if you're disagreeing with me, or if you didn't grasp my comment. The quote above is meaningless without defining what free will is and how it can possibly mean anything other than "the experience of decision making".

Decision-making is something that a fully deterministic, non-conscious machine can do. (A motion detector performs decision making based on light input.) Decision-making does not require consciousness. Consciousness is what grants us the ability to experience and reflect on our decision making. It is fair to call that phenomenon "free will."

Defining "free will" as "the ability to make a decision not influenced by our state and inputs (including sensation, memory, etc.)" makes no sense. Decisions are fundamentally dependent on state and inputs*. Any definition of "free will" which ignores that is useless.

‘nodejs is slow’ isn’t engineering.

‘nodejs is too slow’ is high school level backward rationalization.

‘nodejs is too slow for my use case’ is getting there.

Most stuff we engineer maxes out the database way way waaaay before it saturates its CPU capacity regardless of the language used. You’d better know very well that you’ll be vulnerable to this as a business, otherwise your inefficient competitors will take your money faster than you can build value.
Awesome. Eager to see how the product evolves :)
That is what was described originally by the active record paper. Traditionally it has been called the active record pattern, but if we'd rather call that ORM today, despite the misnomer, so be it. I couldn't care less.

But, I do care about being able to precisely communicate with other people. What are we going to call the other things?
NixOS Is Not Reproducible
Of course it's not, because the problems with the cryptocurrency industry didn't start or end with SBF. Bringing him to justice is very important, but doesn't somehow make everything OK.
Oddly enough, I was wondering if this project for some reason came from Unilever -- the logo is quite similar!
Problem is that a large part of the population is practically worshipping people who are / seem rich. Every questionable thing they do is explained away.

"It's just smart business!"

"People are jealous because they didn't think of this!"

"They're only coming after him because he's rich!"

"You would do this too if you were him!"
Back then, population was at capacity, so the plague opened up previously-used capacity to the survivors. Today is completely different. We're not at capacity and won't benefit from fewer (educated/productive) people, which are exactly the ones not reproducing.
Maybe that is the solution to the Fermi paradox.

I imagine datadog's AWS bill is also out of control, considering all the absurd levels of queries/groupings you can do.

I used to work on a growing AWS product with tons of features that no one used.

Often when we were creating a feature, our managers would have us include tags and support for making parts of the feature optional, but make sure no parts of the feature (or the feature itself) where optional to start with. We would enable the ability to toggle the feature if "A significant enough amount of customers weighted by revenue requested it".

Also got the "Build filtering, but don't expose it unless we have to".
Four-legged robot learned parkour to better navigate obstacles
I wouldn't really recommend TS anymore. I would just go to a compiled language that actually has runtime type safety and a good ecosystem and devx. Although, it looks like Deno/Bun will improve things. After working with it for 5yrs, I just don't want to deal with the typescript compiler and ecosystem anymore, it's more of a headache than it's worth when Java (or ktl), Go, (and because HN: rust) are great.

Ah, so gross profit is kind of like "this is how much we profited off this specific car", and net profit is "this is the average of how much we profited off all these cars"?
I mean this is the struggle. And props to you for building that. It's an ugly problem.

I actually do think (and have personal evidence now to believe) that most functions adjacent to engineering can learn distributed version control. Once you start using it, you really don't want to go back.

We've internally adopted trunk based development for our assets and it gets rid of 99% of the confusing parts of version control to not use branches (I know blasphemy). My designer just pulls and pushes on the main branch and I do the same -- we've had very very few merge conflicts and none that couldn't be resolved in 30 seconds.

I feel silly now having spent so much time on branching as a feature. It makes a lot of sense for plain text and code but it probably doesn't matter that much (for small teams) for visual things. Merging has proven to be invaluable to us though.
But then there's the flip side of how inflexible the app store subscriptions are: https://www.hey.com/apple/iap/
Your same argument could be applied to technology. Should we maybe underclock our computers a little too, just in case of some nebulous fear of speed?
Please never use submodules for anything, they cause a litany of problems now and down the road (have you ever tried deleting or renaming one?) The best thing to do is to pretend they don't exist.
They were better.
In my circles, I think we just used the CPU name since there weren't that many of them yet, and unlike 386/486/586/etc, the 286 and lower CPUs weren't real 32-bitters. So, "386", "286" etc. Or just "Intel" to refer to the whole CPU family.

IIRC, I started hearing "x86" once the 486 came out in 1989.
> Pascal's wager for nerds.

You're mixing up your pre-written dismissals.

Instrumental convergence has nothing to do with Pascal's Wager. Pascal's Wager for nerds would be a somewhat valid answer to "AI has the potential to destroy the world therefore we should worry about it even if it's very unlikely", but that's not the argument I made.
This is good news. In my area the only thing worse than Bradford pears are the Mimosas. It took me ~3 years of consistent work to clear off the Mimosas from our 1 acre lot in town. And I still have to spray or hand pull hundreds of the tiny ones each season because none of my neighbors have been as diligent.
Humans have shown themselves to be pretty clever and adaptable, so I'm optimistic we can thrive even as we unwind ourselves from the ponzi scheme of unlimited growth on a fixed planet.
I get that. I would love it if LibreOffice had some sort of feature. Maybe it could even be integrated into some kind of open chat protocol like Matrix...
This attack doesn’t exploit a technical issue or bug, it exploits the open source philosophy, and unless the community will come up with a systematic process to counter it, expect more sophisticated attacks similar to it in the future. This time we got lucky that some smart nerd -I am a nerd too, this is a praise not to be taken in a bad way- noticed and notified the community in less than 20 days of the second backdoor implementation, next time the attack may undergoes more comprehensive “rehearsals” that it will make it impossible to detect.
This assumes the current day isn't already bleak for many in our current system.
Tales of the Krypt (KRYPTOS Society newsletters) (1994-2003) [pdf]
`revng/orchestra` is from the same organization as the package itself, so it's odd to bring that dependency up; if there's a maintainer integrity issue with it, surely there's one with the package itself. And `python3-pip` is a bedrock of the Python ecosystem (it comes bundled with Python, as a matter of fact), so if there's an issue with it, that's a massive deal that affects any number of things. Meanwhile, you haven't described what these maintainer integrity issues are, nor how you learned of them. Frankly, your comment comes across as trollish, but maybe it isn't; would you like to explain what you're talking about?
When I reflect on the folks I've rubbed shoulders with over the last couple decades, I think there has been this implicit anti-natal bias. I think it mostly creeped in because of environmental and social concerns, and it seems to correlate with a kind of hip urbanite mentality.

It's pretty shocking to me how long it took me to actually confront these assumptions. In the 80's overpopulation seemed like one of the most pressing concerns, but the situation is a lot more context-specific and nuanced than the message I received. Many people still haven't updated their programming, and act like I'm a raving lunatic when I bring up concerns around demographics in advanced societies. This despite us knowing about this generally for a _long_ time in places like South Korea and Japan.

I'm sure I have lots of other similar blind spots, but those buggers are hard to find.
Wasn’t the payload in a blob in the tests, which is in the source repo? If you were to clone the repo then build from source, you’d have the backdoor, right? Surely distros aren’t using binaries sent by maintainers
I'll be hiring this year as well. I'm in the manufacturing domain.

As said a few times below, I'm looking for real work experience. Specifically in the domain.

You need a Technical Writer. You have developers that have trained extensively to talk to computers often in multiple languages. And it is hard enough to write documentation for other developers. Asking them to create documentation talking to users, system administrators, DevOps and management are even more dialects because they speak in their own jargon, and it costs a lot of their very expensive time.
I know technology, hardware, software, firmware and more. In tech, medical, aerospace, automotive and IT industries. I can do the translating for developers so they can concentrate on making the hard stuff.
I also know user experience (UX) I can guide you to make better user interfaces and keep you from making those mistakes that cripple many products.
They’re here. Just not from Tesla.
Why? I am talking about a revolution against AI.
Well it will suck for us, if you are 20-50 right now you better hope robotic workers will be around to support us when we are too old to be useful.

In the long run yeah it will improve everyones quality of life if we can level the population out at a lower number.
Yes. I've made the same mistake before in assuming that fertility rate measures if women are physically able to give birth, but it's really just the number of babies women have in their lifetime.

They lost all credibility to me. All the apps and services that I love that have been shut down over time… this culture is so wrong.
Instead of building quality products that stand the test of time and continue to pour quality over time, it seems that only thing that matter is the individuals inside.
Like a F1 driver that only care about its career.
It’s the best thing that can happen, let this culture and their products die and be eaten by the competition that care about the users and the quality of the products they make.
I hope OpenAI eats them with a search product.

> But [a bunch of random files] is EXACTLY WHAT GIT IS!

Well, yeah, but only in the same limp way that "a bunch of random bytes" describes both (A) some text file versus (B) an e-mail with valid DKIM headers with a PGP signature.

It's possible that both could arrive containing your CEO's name and an urgent demand to wire all company funds to some random city in Myanmar... but one approach is fundamentally more secure.

> the only difference is that you also get the previous versions too.

No, that's not the only difference nor the most-important.

The important difference is that the files represented by a particular git-revision all exist with cryptographically-hashed relationships on their content, and that structure prevents/deters multiple kinds of secret meddling or impersonation.

Others are gaining market share fast, especially on S/X vs. German luxury EVs. But the whole industry is far behind where they thought total vehicle sales would be in 2023-2024, the cause being high loan/lease payments in the US, and weak Chinese consumer demand overall. So part of this is unique to Tesla, but part is an industry that was expecting 2023-4 to be much better than it has been so far.

I agree in principle. But even if the backdoor is deliberate (as is the case here), there’s limited risk for the average person. Nobody in their right mind is going to attack Jane Doe and risk burning their multi-million dollar exploit chain.

For an old vulnerability, however, any unpatched system is a target. So the individual risk for the average unpatched system is still orders of magnitude higher than in the former scenario.

Yeah, I mean sure, maybe that's all there is to it, but he's been a high-profile asshole for years now. He's definitely changed, but that change happened years ago, it's not a new problem.

I guess it's possible that maybe it's just taken this long to catch up with him though.

My two cents are that it's more important to support the company that's building the best EVs, and the positive impact Tesla has on the world is way bigger than whatever negative effects Elon's tweets are having, but I can definitely relate to folks' discomfort. I wish we had the old Elon back.
Sure. Now try it again as an IT manager at a company that buys expensive technology products, with an email address that has been slumming it in lead gen databases for years. Try it again as a loan officer whose job is to trade high-value PDFs with externals whose email address and title is on the bank's 'about us' page.

The ability to know an address is the only license you need to send to it. The only reason you haven't had a bad time with this is because you haven't been a target.

Chipmaker Hailo raises $120M riding on AI boom
I’m not partial to Node.js backends for many reasons, primary being that I prefer batteries-included web frameworks and the choices are very limited in the JS backend world… But I have such a hard time believing that Node.js is inherently non-performant when there are so many counter-examples of large scale applications that do just fine on it. I understand that the single-threaded nature of JS can be a bottleneck for certain workloads, but without further explanation I’m going to concur with others and say that reading your comment, it’s hard to discard you guys made a mess on your own... Which at least in my experience often comes down to how difficult it is to build in Node.js precisely because of how “minimalistic” and “unopinionated” everything tends to be… You’d better know what you’re doing when there’s no prescription or standardized way for anything from queuing systems, to ORMs, file organization and architecture, concurrency outside of web requests and CRUD, etc.
