Right now cali is gettin 77% of its electricity from solar??? That’s crazy. I had no idea it was that high.
It's no secret that small teams of experts do not need managers. But if the team grows, you will either have to sacrifice producer productivity to coordination and management tasks or hire someone to offload those responsibilities. Many orgs struggle as they undergo a "phase change" from one type of team to another, as it requires a different set of skills, strategies and expectations along with dramatically higher staffing requirements. There is probably a way to compartmentalize some larger projects so you are an aggregation of smaller teams but I personally haven't seen it so I can't comment on it.
Prior to the advent of GPS, taxi drivers in many cities were tested on their orientation skills and had to memorize a lot of streets. I would be surprised if no one ever failed this part of the exam.
Yeah, I saw the "self organizing" bit, and I thought "good f'ing luck". E.g. I don't see many folks touting Zappos' notorious "holacracy" structure these days.

Reducing unnecessary levels of middle management, particularly in a bloated company, is usually a great idea. But I've found that the vast majority of people are not interested in "self organizing". They just want to come to work, feel that they are supported doing great work, and have a strong sense that the work they are doing matters to the company.

That's why as a former manager I felt like my most important job was to "block" for my team. I.e. there is always a bit of chaos and change at the upper levels reflecting to change in the business and competitive landscape, but as much as possible I tried to protect my team from this unnecessary churn. I've often said "coders are happiest when they're coding", so I tried to have product plans and priorities laid out as much as possible so folks could come in and do great work.

This doesn't mean "hiding" the broader corporate machinations from folks, but most people just don't want to be affected by that day-to-day. I've never seen this "self organizing" approach work, and Ive seen lots of cases where it was deemed an abject failure.
The idea that I might eventually become disabled still doesn't make it an essential feature. Disabled users are not a significant portion of the userbase of most software. Accessibility is an essential feature for a text editor in the same way that Linux support is an essential feature for Fortnite.
I would suggest to put it at the top of the instructions.

In modern APLs a character scalar is just a Unicode code point, which you might consider UTF-32. It's no trouble to work with. Although interfacing with things like filenames that can be invalid UTF-8 is a bit of a mess; Dyalog encodes these using the character range that is reserved for UTF-16 surrogates and therefore unused. If you know you want to work with a byte sequence instead, you can use Unicode characters 0-255, and an array of these will be optimized to use one byte per character in dialects that care about performance.

Inoreader is probably as good as Google Reader. I have been using it for last 10 years or so. I know people used feedly (I personally didn't like it).
But clearly none of those are as popular as Google reader. Presumably because many switched away from consuming RSS.

I'm surprised anyone wants to argue about this.

"By 2030" is a long time away for a company that was close to bankruptcy about 6 years ago - anything can happen. Full-self driving is also 5 years away if you believe Musk - it's been 5 years away for the last 10 years, though. The first article you cited is basically quoting Tesla marketing material.

Here's the objective picture today (as of end of 2023): TSLA has $74.2 billion in revenue from being a car company. TLSA has $4.8 billion in revenue from energy production and storage. Gross profit is the same story for the two segments - $16 billion and $1 billion respectively. Margins are not dramatically different.

Tesla is a car company.

I would agree. My standard engagement with CS in Australia was a lot more personable and once it was recognized that a situation was off script they were far more willing to go into problem solving mode.
There's a risk that investors will want to make the robots sound more advanced and conscious than they are, creating a public perception that the robots need saving when they really don't. And those who disagree will be ostracized.

Similar to the existing divide regarding which animals are considered conscious.

I.e. we might not have to reach conscious robots for it to become a societal problem.

I switched to feedly and it was "good enough" but not really. They eventually engineered it to really close to what reader had. Which is great.

As time went on less and less sites supported RSS so it became less of an issue and I had to switch to other way less efficient ways to read/scan news.

I still use feedly here and there for some of my feeds. I also tried one called old reader (?) and then a few home grown ones and one I wrote. None of them were close to reader.

Before reader remark (probably not spelled correctly) was amazing.
this pattern continually repeats itself.

at this point everyone knows oxycontin was marketed by Purdue Pharmaceuticals as a less-addictive substitute for morphine and heroin.

very early on in the discovery of morphine, there was some hope that it would be a less addictive alternative to opium.

these drugs are so powerful at relieving immense suffering that people desperately want a version with no downsides, and are willing to fool themselves about this. (that these various pharmaceutical companies were willing to encourage this wishful thinking is still despicable.) i expect it to happen again with some new type of painkiller in another generation.
There were and definitely appeared the readers with pretty much equivalent functionality and some were even copying the look and feel straight up. But the main advantage of the reader was that it had almost all the past posts from the feed archived, for the vast number of sites. No company other than Google wanted to pull this off. Another aspect is that people felt Google signaled to the site owners that they do not have to pursue feed support as actively if at all.
I was using OVHcloud before that but they "upgraded" their platform and it was awful.

Not by my reading of the original comment. Seems like they're saying that layoffs result in higher skilled jobs.

And here's my basis for that conclusion:

> The issue that I see addressed less often is that the new jobs require by definition, a higher skill set.

And what I'm saying is that there may not be new jobs, and if they are they may be lower skill jobs if history is any indication.
Apparently the author of the above letters got eight years imprisonment after the war. Then after release returned to the board of directors of multiple chemical companies. Unbelievable, should have been hanged.
That's because RSS as a medium has been supplanted by closed-garden style social media - some people still use RSS, but it's no longer as popular, because how could it be when most of my "feeds" are explicitly closed off to RSS?
Google Reader wasn't really only a RSS reader, it was a social network. You could follow your friends feeds, see what they liked, see their activity, discover new blogs as well as share what you were into. I found so many new blogs that way, it was the main entry into the web for me. It was my homepage and my friends were there too.
I just upvoted this because I love the domain name.
Since the author declare being Emacs and org-mode user, I see no reasons for not using org-mode with Hugo and some ready-to-use theme on a personal domain, rclone to push the public part.

Absolutely, but glass is cheap. It also allows you to make your building a bit deeper because of the little bit of extra light. Even better, it weighs relatively nothing, and you can stack it as high as you want.
You didn't mention which editor you were able to edit the large XML in. Just confirming, it was VSCode? Because that'd be amazing!

> The real problem is when others follow Amazon in scale, leaving humans to survive in a new order.

No, the problem is if humans in the set of those who have to work are able to keep ahead of the creation of new automation.

UBI short-circuits the problem because then nobody would need to work. "Who pays for UBI?" you may well ask… well, Amazon can't ship anything when nobody has any money to buy stuff with.

Separately from that, AI currently needs a lot of examples to learn from, relative to humans, so "business as usual" with no further AI breakthroughs will mean lots of people shifting employment every few years. That scenario doesn't force the world economy to choose between UBI and collapsing due to all the jobs being automated and therefore nobody having any money to buy the products made or delivered by the automation.
Its has the same limitations every browser has on Windows/Linux/macOS.

Assuming You have the highest Netflix plan (that allows 4K) - there seems to be other limitations.

I am no Netflix expert - but for example this guide:

Suggests that to watch content in 4K you will need Microsoft Edge on Windows 10 - along with 'correct' Intel CPU and/or modern enough supported NVIDIA GPU.
They mention previous work on speculative decoding using similar techniques, but "ANPD dynamically generates draft outputs
via an adaptive N-gram module using real-time
statistics, after which the drafts are verified by the
LLM. This characteristic is exactly the difference
between ANPD and the previous speculative decoding methods."
> Those "mediocre H1Bs" work their ass off compared to non-H1Bs because they get laid off/fired and deported on short notice with barely enough or sometimes no time to sell their belongings if they don't perform [1]

H1Bs wouldn’t be so easy to fire if the skillset were rare or difficult
to fill.

Instead, companies are
gaming the H1B lottery to create much lower-paid indentured servants while a sliver of the business rakes in 40% to 60% of the spread.

And the Federal government employees are paid at the same
level or less.

I don’t find the H1B abuse defensible, but certainly a useful discussion point on relative salaries.

Both effects and coroutines can (and typically do) work implicitly across calls like that. The version with forwarding operators like in this post is something of a Rust-ism, or more generally an async/await-ism, or a stackless coroutine-ism.

The more fundamental difference between effects and coroutines is that a `yield` in a coroutine always goes to the one unique resumer, and carries a single type of value. On the other hand, an expression may have several effects, each of which may be handled in a different place, in the same way that distinct exception types may be caught in different places.
I don't understand why the government don't do more to support these kind of tariffs that incentive demand shifting.. it seems such a powerful way to make the grid greener without huge infrastructure projects

My guess is that world would be indistinguishable from ours. There is nothing wrong with Ruby.
Because it allows for scripting infrastructure with far fewer obfuscated hacks than bash/awk. And if you use system python, vulnerabilities are more likely to get patched by distribution vendor. Your homebrewn json parsing regexes won't.
Would the 2.5 GW of nuclear/geothermal/hydro not do that? Maybe not enough (or geographically distributed properly)?

> Disabled users are not a significant portion of the userbase of most software.

Have I got news for you. https://www.disabled-world.com/disability/statistics/

> Currently, around 10% of the world's population, or roughly 650 million people, live with a disability.

> In countries with life expectancies over 70 years of age, people spend on average about 8 years, or 11.5 percent of their life span, living with disabilities.

Sure, not all of the disabilities will apply to using an editor. But disabilities overall are very common. A significant proportion of users of anything are disabled in some way - it just may not be obviously visible.

Which would be great if demand didn't vary by time of day and season.

But, it's neat the way that flaw has been rebranded as "baseload". The extra energy you need when people wake up and go to work? That's someone else's problem.

> Living on another planet is a hard problem but only one company is working on that.

There’s a lot of unknowns in that and ROI can take very very long time. Not many people can or are willing to take that risk. If that one company is successful then you’ll see that space flooded with new companies.
This is what rest of the world looks like USA people! Developers are generally paid enough to get by but not crazy salaries. There are exceptions but required you to get through tough interviews. No $200k TC interns out here.

It means picking up a trade or just doing a scrum master job or traffic duties become viable alternatives.

Developers are caught in stagflation. Buying a property in Sydney metro area (within 90m commute) for example would be challenging for most devs.

Prices have tripled and over the frame of 15y while dev salaries or contract rates have not increased.
The problem with losing weight without exercising is that it's not only fat but also muscles that are lost.

I really like it. And, please, don't be discouraged by any HN commenters. Creation is the important act, not commenting.

Side note: I get a very Usborne vibe from your story. If you are not familiar, Usborne published a series of introductory computer books for young readers in the late 1980s that were well loved by a lot of us here on HN. You can probably find threads and links to copies of the material here.
Likewise, but "we pissed everyone off and they refuse to work for us any more so we had to invent and manufacture robots at a huge and expensive scale" is very different from "we made robots for funsies with our big pile of money and you're all redundant now".
Exactly. I get that, supposedly, it wasn’t shut down to make room for other social network features.

But whatever the intent was, they shut down a very effective, useful and popular social network feature and didn’t replace it with any workable equivalent. They just gave that traffic to competitors for no reason. It was pretty boneheaded.
Happy to help. We must empower the human to live the best life they can in a system they have little input in, and improve systems that allow for exploitation whenever possible.

Management is an utter bullshit job that is all about headcount and promo documents at this point. Society and companies can live without this.
It's called "empire building" and is also part of the principal-agent problem where the manager is the agent and is assumed to have the firm's best interests in mind, but in reality doesn't. As a result, the principal (for example an owner) has to come up with methods to keep their management honest (example... tying most compensation to stock price - although I think this just makes management short sighted).

I was once in a meeting where an IT manager was told his group would have to handle the install for a piece of software that like 2 engineers used. The guy asked for 3 additional head count and my jaw dropped. If someone has ever seen the Avatar Airbender show, I was like Prince Zuko speaking up at his father's meeting. You see I was there as a courtesy and tried to point out that even one headcount seemed like a lot for something that should take less than a week of work for a single employee. At the time I didn't understand that the manager understood this, but was playing for more staff to build their own importance. I didn't understand the games they play. As part of the game...you always say your people are swamped no matter what...or refer to a massive backlog of work even though that backlog is all super low priority and existing employees can be reprioritized.

That's not a positive thing.

Another way to spin it: renewable electricity (except hydro) is literally worthless. You get it when you don't need it, but you don't have any guarantee it'll be available when you do.
The topic of automation always comes up when discussing ATC or aviation incidents. One says automation, another says it can’t be done. And both parties end up talking past each other.

Let’s go back in time. Long ago pilots would give position updates. Now that is done with radar and transponders. This is a form of automation.

There seems to be an uptick in ATC mistakes. Recently as this week where a tower cleared a takeoff and also cleared four aircraft to cross the same runway. So a form of automation I would like to see is something to communicate to everyone that a runway is not clear.
I have memories of my second birthday, of the kiddie pool I splashed in and the toy boat I played with in it. I remember the neighbors' kid Paul, that he was blonde, and that we each had a rubber ball. Mine had rainbow stripes on it, and Paul's was transparent green with silver shiny bits.

I remember sitting on my dad's shoulders and looking at the babies in the maternity ward when my sister was born.

I even have an infancy memory: closing my eyes and crying, confused as to where the sound was coming from.

These are not things I was told about. They're pictures in my mind. I don't have a very strong episodic memory of that time, but I do remember things from well before age 3, and it pisses me off when scientists say "that just doesn't happen". It's like when my first grade teacher, a Ph.D. candidate in education at the time, told me I hadn't learned things I damn well had learned, like how to read.

Yeah, there's a bunch of British wind power which you can only see in public data as a small but noticeable dip in demand when there's wind power available. If you own a hilltop farm in England, unless your neighbours are complete assholes with political power (e.g billionaires or maybe MPs) you're going to install a small wind turbine because it's free electricity - it's not environmentalism it's just capitalism, and when it's blowing your small industrial processes are run off the turbine whereas when weather is calm you pay like anyone else. Needing a loan for a net-profitable business investment isn't a novelty for a farmer, and this one at least isn't predicated on future food prices - it's predicated on electricity costing money, so your bank manager will be happier.
