The difference between violent and non-violent bullying can be closer than you'd think. Also, and please note I have much experience in this, physical violence was the one thing I was in permanent fear of as a child but having decades now passed by I came to understand it was the emotional violence that did by far the most damage to me and my siblings. We will not recover.

Meta comment: people like you can argue on the basis of abstractions because clearly that's all you have to argue from – you obviously have no experience of child abuse. And I'm glad of that, but please be careful putting about your opinions ("...no law against socially excluding and humiliating people. Nor should there be.") with Dunning-Kruger boosted confidence.

This is a legal thing. If you do a layoff it's for business reasons and you can avoid all of the PIP and such. But if you do it that way you can't select based upon performance.

Maintenance needs to become sexy (again?). Assuming you don't have near-infinite money, the misery averted by maintaining your car well is greater than the joy obtained by buying a new one, because you can really do both at the same time by spending only ~25% more and end up with 2 cars instead.
You appear to be confusing Buckley with Trump/Fox-level folks—not the same group. Buckley and his ilk were educated elites and intellectually-oriented, at least on the surface. We lost a lot when they were overrun with the current mainstream "conservative" folks.

Look up the John Birch Society and George Wallace for example. National Review was able to discredit that similar level of discourse back in the day.
This is how we know it wasn't sponsored. If a reviewer never has negative reviews, then it's safe to assume they always get sponsored and reviews are not truthful or honest.

I think there is another meta-observation here, that some people are too sensitive to anything even remotely negative. I think balance is more important than always being positive for the sake of being positive. Sometimes products do suck, and it should be expressed at some capacity. It's up to people to understand it is an opinion and to adjust their expectations accordingly.

I think AI in its current iteration (LLMs) has some value but personally speaking I feel it is over-valued.

I think the fact that the cost:value prop is 20:1 to get a basic level output is really alarming.
Honestly if that guy was my manager, I'd quit no matter what. I'm already selling 1/3 of my lifetime just to be able to eat, so no freaking way I'd contribute to someone already robbing me of the most valuable resource one can have.
It's different in most ways? How is it even similar? Some level of trendiness and hype, both related to technology... that's about it? That's like 1% of all the dimensions on which you can compare these things.

Saying that x is the new y, or the same as y, just because they have one or two things in common is intellectually lazy.
Unless you're a primary producer (photosynthesize your own food, or something of the sort), all life is built on death and suffering. We eat what we kill.
Personally I don't find any amusement in the pseudo intellectual wisdom of software engineers, especially from SV.

And sure why not it was shared here. I’d rather listen to the people on the streets in Africa and how they see life and the future.

You seem to be projecting a lot of insecurities. Some people prefer not to work in such an environment, and that is okay. Those people just switch jobs until they're satisfied, there is no "controlling other people" or whatever nonsense you dreamed up.
Which sucks, because I hoped there would be a way to use HSMs in browser for {en,de}cryption. A lot of those devices aren't just for FIDO, they have PKCS#11 and OpenPGP.

WebAuthn/U2F is not designed for this. As it usually happens in tech, people hack weird contraptions afterwards (largeBlob, prf and hmac-secret) allowing to at least attach or derive the symmetric keys, but this isn't a solution even if it would've worked.

Yeah, the average user gets very used to "modern UI design" and then immediately starts noticing older designs. This flags the site as being "less safe" and when money is involved, "less safe" is a pretty big red flag.

I'm sure PMs and Data Analytics teams have actual data to back me up on this, and if the data shows to the contrary please correct me. I'm working with a small subset of friends and family who are, for the most part, your "average" user, so it's all anecdata for me.

On the flip side, stop fucking with messaging app UI.

My phone is not 100% general purpose, it is a compromise. I'm typing this on a computer not my phone that is right next to my keyboard because my phone is a bad compromise for typing comments. The phone works well enough that I'll use it when on the go, but only because there are times when hauling my full size computer isn't a good option, as soon as I'm using it I prefer the computer.

There is a lot of room for special purpose tools to handle more than one purpose while not being fully general purpose. I'm suggesting we never have a need for full general purpose, but there is for sure room for robots that do more than one thing but don't do everything. I might want the robot that sets and clears my table after meals to also gather my dirty laundry and when clean bring it back - but offload the actual cleaning process for both to specialized robots.
For typical game physics engines... not that much. Math libraries like Eigen or Blaze use lots of template metaprogramming techniques under the hood that can help when you're doing large batched matrix multiplications (since it can remove temporary allocations at compile-time and can also fuse operations efficiently, as well as applying various SIMD optimizations), but it doesn't really help when you need lots of small operations (with mat3 / mat4 / vec3 / quat / etc.). Typically game physics engines tend to use iterative algorithms for their solvers (Gauss-Seidel, PBD, etc...) instead of batched "matrix"-oriented ones, so you'll get less benefits out of Eigen / Blaze compared to what you typically see in deep learning / scientific computing workloads.

The codebases I've seen in many game physics engines seem to all roll their own minimal math libraries for these stuff, or even just use SIMD (SSE / AVX) intrinsics directly. Examples: PhysX (https://github.com/NVIDIA-Omniverse/PhysX), Box2D (https://github.com/erincatto/box2d), Bullet (https://github.com/bulletphysics/bullet3)...

I appreciate the author's perspective, but my approach in life has been based largely on two biblical verses that I memorized in childhood. Those are 1) "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters" (Colossians 3:23) and 2) "Do you see someone skilled in their work? They will serve before kings; they will not serve before officials of low rank" (Proverbs 22:29).

These two verses come to my mind often and have formed the basis of how I approach nearly everything in life both work and hobby. I feel the pursuit of excellence is a thing both for work and life in general.

On the Internet, everything is my work. I do not have some benefactor job outside of what I do.

For my hobbies and sports, I approach everything with diligence and care.

I hope to raise my children to do likewise.
While there are many people "that work outside Silicon Valley, where the entire company uses Windows centrally managed through Active Directory, and explaining IT that you need a Mac is an uphill battle" I think these companies either don't care about AI or get into it by acquiring a startup (that runs on macs).

Companies that run windows and AD are too busy to make sure you move your mouse every 5 minutes while you're on the clock more. At least that is my experience.
I appreciate the correction, thanks!
Because when you say emotionally-inflammatory, illogical things, most people will downvote and move on, instead of engaging?

If you want a substantive discussion, try dropping the fear-words like "unelected"s: this isn't the Fox News comment section.
...and that oversimplifies everything. Yes, websockets to the browser are likely to be a piece of the answer. But a server needs to maintain the session for the websocket and send messages. And that server needs to subscribe to data updates in the database... while also respecting auth of the current user.

It is certainly a problem with an achievable solution, but it is not simple.
I agree but...

I'm retraining my brain to cooperate more with AI suggestion because they will get larger and more precise too.

It's going to become a force multiplier wether I like it or not, so I don't want to be left behind.

In a near future, I'm afraid that

"this guy still types most of his code, can you believe that?"

will be a popular joke.
I disagree, but with context.

What you both want, I think, is a form letter. I say that as one of the exceedingly apparent aspects of a form letter, is its topical nature, but while still being generic.

A form letter may answer questions in detail, or reply with helpful info, but knowing that the form letter is not written for, or specific to the person is helpful.

Part of the reason why, is if the form letter doesn't cut it, then the person knows they have more recourse, and can reply akin to "I need more personalized care".

You might obtain the same effect by asking chatgpt to make a form like letter, or prefacing the response by saying it was AI assisted/generated.

So I say no, unless disclosed.

And really, if a company is trying to hide that it is AI assisted, maybe that's a clue too?

Some context: I get bothered by recruiters-a-many, and it's bothersome because many have absolutely no idea what they are doing. Or they just fish, blast 1000 people without caring.

Or, they are clearly trying to steal identities.

Anyhow, I have 3 or 4 draft emails which are a few paragraphs long, and basically said "are you sure?" in different ways. I have improved them over the years.

If they then reply in a sensible way? Then I respond for real.
The irony is that you are looking at an example where a guy literally paused to consider how he was not so smart about communication. He also shared it with others who can also lack this skill
Sadly I have worked for such places. At the top somewhere is someone with an ego so large it will always prevent them from taking any accountability or offering a shred of humility. If the market doesn’t like the product, they will blame the market before admitting to any defect in their own thinking.

Narcissistic personalities are constantly rewarded in tech, they play right into the greed of VCs and unmask the fact most investors are completely incompetent.
Maybe if they've already had a very similar job at a different company. Then still not 100% but it would be good enough for them to pick the rest on their own after the 1 month.

Starting from scratch with no prior programming and domain knowledge - no way.

Have you ever started a new job? How long did it take you to be relatively productive compared to the rest of your teammates? Now imagine how it would take if you lost all of your technical skills and experience.
> around 666MB of RAM

A decade ago, that was a lot of RAM for a desktop environment. In the late '00s, I remember Ubuntu with Gnome 2 using around ~128 MB of RAM right after boot.

What happened? Most DEs aren't that much more complicated than they were a decade+ ago. Is it the array of supporting libraries (Qt and Gtk) that get loaded into memory? I could see that being a problem since even the "lightweight" DEs like XFCE and LXQt rely on them heavily.

In the situation you described, it is understandable that the salesperson might feel frustrated or perceive the use of ChatGPT as a sign of apathy. When addressing negative feedback, it is crucial to demonstrate genuine concern, empathy, and a willingness to engage in meaningful dialogue. An AI-generated response, even if well-crafted, may lack the personal connection and emotional intelligence needed to effectively address the salesperson's concerns.

While your direct report's intentions to act on the feedback are commendable, it may be more appropriate for them to craft a personalized response that directly addresses the salesperson's specific concerns and demonstrates a sincere commitment to improvement. This approach can help foster trust, build stronger relationships, and show that the feedback is being taken seriously.

In summary, while ChatGPT can be a useful tool in certain situations, it is essential to consider the context and the potential impact on interpersonal relationships. In sensitive situations like addressing negative feedback, a personalized, human-crafted response may be more effective in demonstrating genuine care and commitment to resolving the issue at hand.
I'm browsing HN right now without JS.

A surprising number of sites work, at least well enough, with JS disabled. When they don't I can selectively enable JS as needed until I get the functionality required. Often that is a single permission or two, while I keep everything else disabled.
With importmaps (https://github.com/rails/importmap-rails) and Hotwire (https://hotwired.dev/), you write plain js and serve it.

Also packages are served via CDN. There is no tree shaking. Rails got rid of the whole bundling step.
Some c3po vibes at the end there for sure.

Show HN: UnInbox – open-source modern email – 1000 gh stars
Last summer I snapped after the chaos in my inbox almost cost me a few thousand dollars.

Email is almost 50 years old and it's barely changed.
We have, and the way we communicate has changed dramatically.

The way email is now, doesn't match with the way we work and live.
It's like using cave paintings when we have the internet.

So I set out to imagine what email would be like if it was designed today - or - what email should have been.

On Friday we launched on Product Hunt - getting #1 of the day,
and just now we reached 1000 stars on github with 1750 users!

UnInbox focuses more on the content of conversations than the noise around them. It's collaborative from the start, letting us bring concepts and ideas we're used to from our normal apps like slack or figma.

We dont follow email standards internally, so the data structure gives lots of flexibility like adding watchers to a conversation, or setting statuses and automations.

Think of it more like a collaborative productivity chat experience that connects to email.

UnInbox fully open source with a cloud version on our site.
Its completely standalone so can be used as the only mail system, or can work in "piggy-back" mode along side something like google.

And it's fully self-hostable too - if you like sleepless nights and dealing with email block lists.

You can sign up today, claim a free @uninbox.me email address, and experience it for yourself!

It's early days, theres a lot to build, but we're excited for a better email future.

Would love your feedback!
I view things through a realism/realpolitik lense. China was supposed to be US ally against Russia in order to have a Chinese - Russian conflict to keep both week. But China became too powerful in their own right and the Ukraine conflict has now created a strong alliance between China and Russia. Much of realpolitik is to keep both your enemies and allies in constant conflict with each other, even secretly pitting allies against other allies, and secretly weakening allies by promoting the worst in them. Suitably paranoid hegemons consider peace to be a time where countries build up strength for later use against them. On that basis I consider Israel an ally of convenience with the actual intent of using the 'unsinkable carrier' in preventing peace in the middle east and keeping the region in a weakened state. I guess unsinkable carrier is better than the reason of the baptists support of Israel. To remind people, it is so the jews can all die there in another holocaust to fulfil a biblical end-times prophecy and usher in the apocalypses where the baptists will ascend to heaven. Of course it's in Israel's interest to go along with both of these - for now.

The unprecedented support was assumed, the unprecedented pushback is new. And now Israel has been prevented from re-retaliating against Iran. This is a Suez Canal moment, where the 'special bond' between UK and US in effect ended and it led to a deep crisis of confidence in the UK and an deep sustained economic downturn. Unlike Israel the UK wasn't surrounded by hostile entities seeking their destruction.

Iran has been playing a long game for a long time, just like Israel was with Gaza. There may not be any good options left, I did think that a quick and decisive war against Iran to be the last viable option but Israel is apparently being prevented from doing so. On a balance of probabilities I don't think Israel would have won that conflict but there was at least some chance which I think is more of a chance than they have now.

I always viewed Oct7th incursion as a trap to invoke the exact response it did, I think by overestimating their support Israel has now found themselves in a position they're unable to get out of, hense trapped. I could be wrong, but I don't know how yet, and I am interested to see how it pans out. Sadly it seems that I wasn't wrong about Ukraines chances against Russia. Maybe a rapid de-escalation preceded by scapegoating Netanyahu is still possible?

Show HN: A self-published art book about Google's first 25 years
This took me 3 years to finish. (It is 100% self-published, not endorsed by Google.)

So… I wrote a book. It’s a different book with a unique approach. It’s not a novel or a technical book. It’s a biography, a company’s biography. My hope is that it serves two purposes: to inspire founders and to captivate interior designers.

It all started three years ago. My wife and I were discussing interior design for our living room and she brought up what beautiful coffee table books should we have. After looking at her favorites I realized there’s nothing like this for tech startups. Digital products are intangible, how cool would it be to make them tangible and a beautiful art/decor book for your home office or living room?

This idea of consolidating my particular interests with my wife’s decorative goals got stuck in the back of my head for a while. I searched and searched. I could only find these kinds of books related to design, architecture, fashion, or travel. Nothing about tech startups. The next logical step for me was to do it myself…

And oh… what a “mistake” it was. This whole project was done during nights and weekends - the first half while working on my startup and the last half while helping create Webflow Labs. You have no idea how many times I “quit” the project. In the end, perseverance and discipline were key to making it happen.

During my founder journey, I collected several notes about successful (and unsuccessful) tech startups to help me learn from them. I decided to write about Google’s fascinating story: a true generational company and one of the most valuable companies in the world.

It’s with great pleasure and satisfaction that I’m introducing you to “Google - First 25 Years”. A book celebrating the minds behind the tech giant's incredible journey from Stanford to global dominance.

I have absolutely no idea if this book’s format and concept make sense or if it has an audience willing to invest ($169). Here are some of the unique features:

▪ Silk hardcover

▪ Limited edition

▪ Handpainted edges

▪ More than 30 handmade illustrations

I’m producing only 1,000 copies. If the book concept seems interesting enough, leave a comment, I’d love to know your thoughts!

Either way, this project was a super fun ride where being outside my comfort zone was the best way to learn storytelling, graphic design, and product manufacturing.

At least, I hope this inspires you to go back to your side projects and finish them!
Thanks for confirming. I suspected but hard to tell who is saying they do things from scratch (through sims) or imitation.

Ableton Live. It's amazing how good UI/UX can be for non-computer-field workflows. Maybe I appreciate it more because I wouldn't be able to organize it all so neat & compactly.

And even better than that are hardware synthesizers with all the direct control knobs to fully and dynamically shape the sounds that come out. I also prefer them because looking at an Ableton screen feels too close to my day job.

It's pretty much the same story as in cars: software with a touch screen can only get so good--with a physical UI it can be better.
