I did this some years ago myself and I want to say the only thing I miss is...agile working! Throw your tomatoes now.

It's fantastic to work in this field and very fulfilling but I consistently find the quality of teamwork and coordination to be much lacking compared to my engineering past. I wish I could sit down with a group of musicians and give them a bunch of Jira tickets to work on for the sprint before the upcoming rehearsal.
Indeed.

This means that they can employ more people when it is productive to do so, and let them go when they dont need or want them.

I think this is a good thing in general. I dont think we should structure our expectations or the labor market around the idea that companies should retain unprofitable workers.
AI is hitting engineering now too, no? (Sure in small ways now, but I imagine it would be one of the first targets considering it is engineers doing it)

Since covid I left tech and have been working at ayahuasca retreat centers (assisting and managing) and apprenticing. Frankly I can't imagine a career less at risk to AI replacement!

Maybe someone should start a job board for AI-proof gigs.
Well hold on a second. The JS impl that you're talking about uses a minimal custom runtime (https://github.com/just-js/just) that you would never use—it barely implements JS. It's basically only used for this benchmark. It doesn't make sense to compare that to Go when we're talking about Javascript vs. Go performance.

Scroll down to the "nodejs" entry for a more realistic comparison.
It seems you are very ideology-driven, but no, corporations are not moving production out of China because "China bad". It's just because labor costs in China have risen due to its fast development.
But it is sold? Or at the very least, redirects to Square.
Show HN: Text classifiers (just bring your labels; no training data needed)
It started in October 2022 (a month before midterms), if anything a skeptic would say that's more confirmation timing is suspect.
I’m a big fan of daily word games and so I decided to have a go at building my own!

In Toppled you have to find four valid five letter words using the letters provided.

As an added challenge, there’s also four golden words to find. These golden words are the four words used to create the day’s wall. You don’t have to find them, but they’re a nice bonus. To help you find the golden words, their starting letters are highlighted in the wall.

There’s a new wall to try and topple every day.
Thanks I guess I've been making half assed garbage lol
Hello - it's your friendly neighborhood health economist (and I have worked on a topic adjacent to ECMO machines).

ECMO is unambiguously cost effective (even at US prices!) for the infant. (I'm not defending US prices - needless to say if anything is cost effective at US prices it's passed the hardest cost effectiveness test.) It's also cost effective (even at US prices) for the older patient. Honestly the cited figure of $213,000 is nothing compared to the value of a statistical life (for the infant) or a bit under half of one (for the adult)

There should be more of these machines and they should be in wider use. The possible impact on heart attack mortality alone is enough to justify wider investment and exploratory use more broadly, even if the precise effects end up being smaller than that's cited in the article.

This is a great example of technological change pushing the boundaries of what's possible in health care. (And frankly... even though I am not defending US health care prices, a high price for this new technology is exactly the kind of signal you want to send to entrepreneurial types, several of whom appear in the article. If ECMO can be taken out of the ICU (by some future version of the machine) that seems highly likely to generate huge benefits.)

Sure, there are some moral issues to be worked out. Those issues would be much better worked out while a bunch of patients who would otherwise died are plugged into ECMO machines...
Imo the states get far too much revenue from recreational taxes and I imagine the Fed doesn't want that to change either.

It's really just a few dinosaur pearl clutchers that are preventing it from being descheduled entirely
Pardon my ignorance, but I am a dilettante. I was just wondering about this earlier today.

How much unlocking of a more active intelligence from LLMs, will far larger context length provide?

Would virtually unlimited context move us much closer to an LLM where training is continuous? Is that a bit of a holy grail? I assume not, but would love to know why.
How many of them are working in Romanian tech industry?

In EU the share of ICT workers is pretty much homogeneous among the different countries.

It's their salary that varies a lot (but not as wildly as in the US)

It's much easier to get a decent wage for a Romanian in Italy than for a Romanian tech worker in Romania

It's the reason why a lot of Italians go to live abroad as well.
SaaS users are going for the utility, whereas gamers are going for the immersive experience. The fault tolerance are different for those two use cases.
It's the current HN culture to whine about all technology, especially if it isn't impossibly perfect.
> Playlists are a nightmare to manage because you can't create any folders or organization

The desktop app on Mac allows for folder creation. While not looking very hard, I wasn't able to find the same functionality on iOS. Would be a nice addition to iOS if it is not available.
The app store page doesn't mention debugging, so I assume it's not there.

And probably not "go to definition". Completion quality is also questionable. These are very hard problems, even for a language with strict typing like Java. It's not easy to get these basic lookups correct and smooth.

Personally I wouldn't call it an IDE (yet).
That's the main drawback I find with the iPad. So much memory, so much processor, and not being able to use an app that allows me to create iOS apps. It's the reason why I only have an old iPad Air, it's enough for browsing, reading ebooks, and watching a movie on a trip. Anything bigger would be too bulky with the MacBook.
Realistically, because politicians drive cars, and like to speed.

If you read any articles on the subject, you can almost feel the author resisting the urge to say that outright.
I guess the whole "it's easier to be a critic than a writer" thing applies to LLMs too.
Judging by how my car shows a speed limit change from 55 to 25 as I go under bridges that could get real dangerous real fast if there's a poor implementation.

Aren't all the scooters just a flat 20/25 mph cap with no dynamic changing? I think drones are the things you're looking for where they avoid flying near airfields.
Cool! I'll keep an eye, if you don't it's ok, it keeps my own app viable :P
> not require radar or computers

> speed governors based on geo-fencing and radio speed limit signs

sounds like that requires computers

> We do it for electric bicycles and scooters

I've never seen a scooter nor e-bike for sale that includes such a feature. Unless you're talking about rental scooters, which doesn't make sense to compare an owned car against.
a lot of terminally online people have a lot of money invested in tesla
Do you need one with this many personal anecdotes?
Its just maybe easier way to not have to go to the root shell.
A win is a win.
Just hoping the US government dedicates more resources to protecting companies from foreign data intrusions than they do hunting down people at or near the capital on January 6.
FYI: they mean "up to 62mph"

Anyway, placing the dividing line at 62mph is interesting because many areas (in the US) fluctuate between 55mph and 65mph speed limits. What was once a seemingly arbitrary difference in speed will now carry more implications.
If I were to transition from software engineering, I'd prioritize a role that meets the following criteria:

1. Minimizes screen time and doesn't rely heavily on computers for productivity.

2. Allows me to disconnect after work without constant notifications or calls.

3. Offers stability, requiring minimal adaptation to new trends or technologies.

4. Lastly, and more importantly, not easily replaceable by AI in the near future.
I don't resent systemd for existing, but I don't want to be forced to accept Lennart's shitty design decisions and it's clear he wants me to be since he successfully agitated for other critical components to hard depend on it. I want the option of opting out, which Lennart would deny me if he could.

At the end of the day, I just run Void (or MX Linux if I want something more Debian-flavored) and get on with my life.
And this is why we can‘t have nice things.
I think this is just a "content creator" realizing, but not admitting to themselves, that the algorithms that spread their content (that they're banking on to get paid) have "figured out" that humans' strong negative emotional reaction has a higher engagement potential than strong positive reactions, thus those who generate the most hate are those who get seen/paid the most.
Because memes aren't allowed on HN, you're not allowed to reply with the "akssshuallllyyy" meme, so you had to go to these lengths.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The first thing I hear people argue against is their "freedom" to drive their car without the government telling them what they can and cannot do.

But you already don't have the freedom to drive as fast as you want, and the current enforcement system is to come face-to-face with a cop.

I, personally, would prefer a system where my car physically will not allow me to drive over the speed limit. The problem though is that it has to apply to everyone. If 90% of the cars on the road don't have governors, and your car does, when you merge onto a highway where everyone is driving 20mph over the limit, you'll be in real danger since your car won't let you drive with traffic.
I agree it's unlikely. THC may have some medical uses, but smoking it certainly does not.

Perhaps gummies/edibles would be covered under some circumstances -- but to be a prescription or even an OTC "medication" it has to go through FDA approval to demonstrate efficacy and document the side effects, and it will have to be manufactured to pharmaceutical standards of potency and purity, which will make it more expensive.

I think it will most likely be like alcohol: sold for recreational use, age-restricted, and not medical.
I'd be happy with a top speed cap of 85 mph to start.
It could be because the value of the policy changes due to changing circumstances, like switching career fields to a less dangerous job or getting a favorable medical diagnosis. Or regulatory arbitrage, perhaps Apollo can price life insurance policies more accurately because they don't have to comply with the same regulations insurance companies do.
This is different from Systemd how? You can't use any GNU project without depending on GNU libc (except glibc itself, trivially).
Probably because public backlash would be insane. There is very little political or economic incentive to push something like that.

It's kind of like banning alcohol. Yeah, it's bad for us (individually and collectively) but most of the population does it anyways and we're used to it. Taking that away would cause massive outrage.
The attacker had essentially full control over a very fundamental library in the Linux ecosystem. They could have leveraged that in a hundred ways.

The attacker chose to target a very specific component of a very specific system. It was their choice, not some sort of technical requirement that made it impossible to use a different attack vector. Just as they chose not to target other Linux distributions that use systemd.

You’re essentially saying “I was safe because the attacker chose to ignore me.” That worked well this time, but it’s a pretty dangerous stance.
> I really hope he doesn’t wreck spaceX too.

We don't really need Tesla or Twitter/X. But we really do need SpaceX. He's already moved it to Texas to shield himself from lawsuits, so I wouldn't count on it surviving intact.
Bit outdated now. The CH32v003 is 10 cents, roughly equivalent to an ATTiny, and easily available.
they WANT you to be stuck with it because then they can track you no matter what
I base it on using pcpartpicker to look for modern motherboards (last 2-3 chipset generations) with more than 6 sata ports or more than 3 nvme m.2 slots . Results are few and far between, and never together. And if they are when you look at the motherboard errata they often disable 1 of the m.2 nvme when the second GPU slot is populated, or an entire handful of the sata ports.
It is the only practical measure of true public opinion. You can also, by extension, infer that roughly 47% of Americans think sexual assault is acceptable and that democracy is undesirable. It may not be what they say or even what they think but it is reflected in what they do.
> pro life because I don't believe in late term abortions

So something that you'd probably be interested in are the turn away studies.

https://www.ansirh.org/research/ongoing/turnaway-study

The studies ask questions of people seeking abortions who ultimately can't because the law prohibits their abortion (usually because they waited too long).

One interesting finding of this study is that a big reason people wait too long is because getting to an abortion clinic is just too hard. In the Roe world, in some very large states like Texas there were just 1 or 2 abortion clinics for the entire state.

Late term abortions have never really been very common. That's because as you get later in the process, just doing a c section and adoption would generally be the more preferred route. When they do happen, it's pretty much always due to non-viability of the fetus.

And, this isn't directed to you, but another fascinating part of the turn away studies is that it's fairly common for people seeking abortions to be in long term relationships with children. For those people, financially supporting another child isn't really an option and adoption is really socially taboo. (Imagine explaining why you aren't pregnant anymore and why you don't have an infant child).
There will always be lawsuits. But let's check back in 10 years to see if any of the specific lawsuits you predict materialize and have any effect on the IA. I doubt it; it's unlikely any litigous rightsholder with a strategic reason to be angry at IA is just 'biding their time" before a big legal action. If their business requires them to be concerned, they can probably get satisfaction through takedown notices.
I'm sure an insane number of companies in the EU operate only in one country. If you look over the border and see a tiny fraction of how different stuff works you run back home screaming.

You cant send a box into Germany. I'm sure I'm butchering the refined details but something like: You need to register with some approved entity who will sign off on the packaging you use with different rates for different volumes of which the first is 100 times what I need.
Too bad the existing systems suck: https://www.thedrive.com/news/most-small-suvs-are-bad-at-aut...

"The SUVs that participated in the test were the Subaru Forester, Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4, Ford Escape, Mazda CX-5, Hyundai Tucson, Jeep Compass, Mitsubishi Outlander, Chevy Equinox, and the Volkswagen Taos. Of those ten SUVs only one (!) received the IIHS' "Good" rating—the Subaru Forester. After that, only two were rated as "Acceptable," the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4. The Ford, Hyundai, and Jeep were rated "Marginal," while the rest were sent home with "Poor" ratings and their heads hanging low."
Looks like i'll be keeping my 17 y/o car another 17 years
More because now they'll get fees going both ways for maintenance.

The only way they should be allowed to divest is if they break up and become smaller and only if that would allow them to not burn down half the state every other year. But really, this all needs to be public, as private can't manage.
Is it getting better? The bots have only gotten worse. They even have blue checkmarks[1] and the company does fuck all about it. And that's before we start talking about the massive hypocrisy present in Musk's implementation of "free speech".

Abortion bans have been extremely unpopular in every state where they have gone on the ballot. Even deep red ones. I'd be curious to see what happens if every state holds a referendum on it.

2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/November_2023_Ohio_Issue_1
This is common conversation doctors have amongst themselves and with patient’s family. In cases of premature births with complications, often doctors suggest not having the child on ECMO unless the chances of survival are really high.
Yeah, what the hell haha. How someone can think “I propose that 27 countries are absorbed into the USA” is reasonable is beyond my comprehension.
Yep, maybe 10-15 will need to be rehired at double salary. It should be an incredibly formalized process in terms of building new superchargers. Maintaining old superchargers likely requires only 4-5 managers and 40-50 technicians globally, although they might be contractors. Building out a new supercharger is likely incredibly formalized, with permiting, design, architecture, and electrical work all done via thrid parties. No need to have 500 people around.
It’s a lot easier for the second place player to want to cooperate with the first place than vice versa. The U.S. doesn’t want to let their control subside, and is willing to push back at nations who come too close.
Also, the "plus" part covers both overhead and profit. So, depending on what your overhead situation looks like, profit can still be minimal or non-positive.
> I wish I could sit down with a group of musicians and give them a bunch of Jira tickets to work on for the sprint before the upcoming rehearsal.

They'd most likely become your little slaves if you paid them. The reason people put up with such bureaucratic systems and bosses is the pay. And many quit in frustration for lower pay and more freedom.
Or to put it another way:

Spanish can understand English.

English can't understand Spanish.

Speaking English you can communicate with English and Spanish without also speaking Spanish, kill two birds with one stone.

The virtues of a lingua franca.
Naming FF7:Rebirth was probably not a good move. Just sounds like ew
Live the dream, and create something beautiful.

Some retire early =)
You can quantize KV caches
If I'm not mistaken, many companies do the product engineering in house and outsource the manufacturing/maintenance to contractors. Tesla's supercharger network is mature enough that it won't see much innovation moving forward, and that might've motivated them to remove the entire team.
As the commenter below mentions, the biological version of a neuron (i.e. a neuron) is much more complicated than the neural network version. The neural network version is essentially just a weighted sum, with an extra layer of shaping applied afterwards to make it nonlinear. As far as I know, we still don’t understand all of the complexity about how biological neurons work. Even skimming the Wikipedia page for ‘neuron’ will give you some idea.

The original idea of approximating something like a neuron using a weighted sum (which is a fairly obvious idea, given the initial discovery that neurons become ‘activated’ and they do so in proportion to how much the neurons they are connected to are) did come from thinking about biological brains, but the mathematical building blocks are incredibly simple and are hundreds of years old, if not thousands.
> "up to 62mph"

Placing the dividing line at 62mph is interesting because many areas (in the US) fluctuate between 55mph and 65mph speed limits. What was once a seemingly arbitrary difference in speed will now carry more implications.
What was your driver's test like? Driving around an empty lot is super-duper easy to do; the hardest part is parallel parking (in a space large enough for a semi-truck) and keeping two hands on the wheel.

I haven't heard of any that are better than a pulse test.

I'm thoroughly disappointed that there isn't a simulator component where you actually get tested on scenarios were a car crash is almost forced.
As far as brands go, I've been decently happy with Philips, but yeah everything else is a crapshoot— Feit Electric I've had several failures, same with Ikea bulbs.
Yes, but there is already a thread between you and me specifically on that topic so there's no need to answer other comments.
A very good article, well explained, and I appreciate the photos of fine watches.

As shown, date complications are very tough to calculate and there are many levels of features.

However, the phases of the moon complication is not discussed in much depth here. Is it a simple calculation independent of the date?
Perpetual calendar complications are approaching the territory of mechanical computers and thus hold interest to me. It is interesting challenge to think of how to accomplish some other alternative calendars mechanically.
It may save 24,000, but kill, say, 50,000 in new ways due to bugs.
If you’re selling a product or service promising objective utility for a user, maybe. Art is just...there, though. Maybe games can promise functionality that a consumer can expect to have working, but most mediums don’t.

Without objective functionality, “Haters” in an art context only have one thing to be vitriolic about - their own subjective aesthetic taste. Thus their words cannot contain anything of value to the artist.
Any ideas on actual roles?

I think the thing that kills me is the mental exhaustion of software development. Just thinking about how to solve problems all day is mentally taxing.
You’re actually not far off. I’m somewhat embarrassed by the above, but I think it makes the point.
My Class 3 ebike is governed at 28mph when pedaling or 20mph on motor alone. Above those speeds the motor just turns off. I can pedal/coast above that speed but the motor does nothing. This is a legal requirement to meet the class specification.
What does that mean? Chronically independent?

I always wear chinos and a T-shirt :P I don't even own any shirts that fit. And I wouldn't do my job any better with one (in fact probably a lot worse because I'd be resentful and very uncomfortable).
>Could the same LLM technology be used except on a body of specific case documents to surface information through a convenient language interface to a legal expert? Yes. It's as safe as SQL.

I see no reason at all to believe this at all.
Long time listener, first time caller (finally made a HN account)..

Anyways, can someone please explain how positive/negative plays a factor here? Rh +/- is mentioned once in the article but not discussed as far as being a donor. I was always told O- is the universal red cell donor [1]. Can anyone help explain is this enzyme fixes the +/- component in addition to the ABO component? Thanks!

I posted this same comment on the other thread, but it's worth noting here too.
