I'm building an online course about Manage Team Cognitive Load with 25% discount
Hey folks, I’m building an online course about “Effectively Manage Team Cognitive Load” :star-struck:

I’m planning on launching the course later this year. As it is a work in progress, I need your feedback to fine-tune it. The survey is here: https://maven.com/forms/72c748. :raised_hands: If you answer, it will add you to the waiting list, and you will receive 25% off the course fee.
:clipboard: Course quick glance
At the heart of this course are the concepts of Team Topologies, namely Team Cognitive Load. This course has in mind managers, senior managers, and executives, but also agile coaches, software architects, or senior folks creating and maintaining software; I’m falling short on the roles, but if you are in a position to shape the organization structure, processes or software architecture, then this course is for you.
This is the outline that I have in mind:
- What is Team Cognitive Load, and what are the implications if you leave it unmanaged
- How to identify the sources of cognitive load within teams and what are the implications of adopting new technology, such AI
- What are the strategies to manage Team Cognitive Load, and how it changes over time
- Develop action plans to start to address the Team Cognitive Load with your team and organization
The outline will change, and that’s why I need your input. Imagine what problems the course could help you solve and what you would expect at the end of the course.

:books: Course structure
The course is online and cohort-based. It includes a mix of live sessions, group reflections, and self-paced material. I’m thinking of having the course over 1 to 2 weeks, with one or two live sessions per week and Q&A sessions where we can address the challenges of your own context. As part of the cohort, you will receive templates and access to tools to help you manage Team Cognitive Load.

:spiral_calendar_pad: Course dates
I plan to launch the course in Q3 this year. It looks far away, but I learned from my consultancy and training experience that six months fly by. Emoji fast: By answering the survey, you will be added to the waiting list and notified once it goes live. My idea is to run the session in the afternoons for European time zones, which in turn will be in the morning on the east coast of the Americas.

:hugging_face: Before I go, I want to publicly thank Matthew Skelton and Manuel Pais for gifting the book.
> What i say to people for at least 2 years now, is that "Remember when governments were not just some cryptographic algorithms?" Yeah, that's gonna change. Cryptography is here to stay, it is not as dead as people think and it's gonna make a huge blast.

The thing about cryptography and government is that it's easy to imagine for a great technology to be adapted on the governmental level because of its greatness. But it is another thing to actually implement it. We live in a bubble, where almost anyone knows about cryptographic hashes and RSA, but for most of the people it is not the case.

Another thing is that political actors are tending to try to concentrate power in their own hands. No way they will delegate a decision making to any form of algorithm — being cryptographic or not.
> For me, writing by hand means remembering.

When you're writing about a subject or meeting notes, sure. When you're writing a 30-item to do list, your brain will say "Nope, everything is on that notebook, refer to that".

As I noted in my original comment and elsewhere, I'm a heavy pen and paper user. I finish approximately two notebooks a year, plus I do my thinking/research on their dedicated notebooks.

Personal knowledge base and other digital notes are just distillations of these notebooks in a synced/searchable form, and I'm slowly making these public, as I have time.

Yeah, that's a very high dose. It's true most of us are deficient in vitamin D, but it's the kind of thing that should probably be regularly monitored once supplementation starts, rather than popping pills and hoping for the best.

I'm not sure if people work like that — many of us have, as far as I can tell for millennia and despite sometimes quite severe punishments for doing so, been massive gossips.

In a previous well funded startup with a FOSS component that I worked for I designed a set up like this:

- 2 git repos, one public, one private

- Custom tooling inspired by other existing tools out there like copybara to move commits in a unidirectional flow from the private repo to the public one

The private repo had the contents of the OSS repo in a subfolder, and a unidirectional workflow where all commits flowed from the private to the public. The way the OSS repo accepted contributions was going through the normal pull request workflow on the OSS repo, then on approval the custom tooling copied the pull request into the private repository where it would go through a second round where it was tested against the private code. On merge in the private repo the commit sha of the original commit along with the original author would get injected into the new commit message and then the custom tooling would then automatically push commits in the private repo subfolder to the public OSS repo, which essentially served as a read only mirror on the main branch.

It actually worked quite well, though obviously this approach comes with some tradeoffs. Here are some of the benefits and drawbacks off the top of my head

Benefits:

- no mixing of free and proprietary code. Public users just check out the OSS repo and it’s completely free

- proprietary code is not visible to the public

Drawbacks:

- workflow slightly more complex for both end users and employees of the enterprise

- more work to mainline code by the enterprise: contributions essentially need to be reviewed twice

- it is not possible to have signed commits by OSS contributors with this workflow

Overall it ended up being a great solution for that organization but this kind of approach can only work for low traffic or easy to review repositories. Anything with a decent amount of traffic or lots of complex contributions has a risk of becoming too much overhead for the organization to double build and test pull requests
It supports MTE, right? Can't wait for that to become mainstream.

WhatsApp majority userbase sits outside of the US, and it's deeply embedded in many 3rd world countries. I'm not sure how their European userbase compares with the African/Asian userbase.

I reckon the WhatsApp userbase OS distribution skews much more to older android versions compared to an app that mostly enjoys US/1st world country userbase.

> That hasn't been the case for Signal for some months

Wrong. Because:

> You still require a phone number for sign up for Signal

So, they have your phone number. What is displayed is irrelevant.

If they have your phone number (which they do), they will have to disclose it for any subpoena/NSL, so they do.
Don't think so. Youtube make money on adds. And Premium. For premium only changes who the money get distributed. On adds MrBeast is likely advertiser friendly enough content. So they in general are happy to run adds on that content. And these deals are by Youtube not MrBeast. Youtube does not make money from whatever deals creators have.
I don't see how "failing to use the best tools available" is a relevant problem for this topic, even though it is indeed a problem in other regards.

The author doesn’t seem to know whether this is a problem or not. They want to imply that it is, because Tesla being in trouble is good for clicks, but without more research and proper journalism this is just a story that a car maker is parking cars somewhere for a time - something that’s pretty common for many manufacturers.

There is some information on the Supermemo wiki, for example this:

The title is a bit exaggerated. Spaced repetition should work fine for adolescents, it probably doesn’t work for very young children, and for the ages 5-10 it’s going to need some adaption.

Spaced repetition is a trick to get the adult brain to retain knowledge, something it does not do easily. Adults are optimized to forget daily life (what did you have for lunch yesterday?), but to remember sporadic and important events, things that have may impact on survival. Spaced repetition tricks the adult mind into thinking that your daily Spanish vocab is important because you didn’t test today’s word for three months.

Younger children are different. Their greater plasticity means that they can learn languages without much conscious effort, as long as the volume of information is high enough. A child doesn’t learn a language 10 words a day like an adult does. It may be volume rather than spacing that is more important in children.
You draw a false dichotomy .. its now faster and cheaper to build out wind and solar than new nuclear fission SMRs.

Most projections show slow linear growth in fission power .. meanwhile exponential growth in Wind and Solar plants, which is what we need if we ever want to displace gas and coal power plants.

If nuclear fission was such a safe and cheap form of power .. why did we build coal and gas power plants over the past 70 years ?

If nuclear could have provided most of our power economically .. it would already be widespread and we wouldn't be a +1.5C today.

If there were no Chernobyl nor Fukushima .. people might think nuclear was safe.
If we could predict "when", that would make the investment decisions much easier.

But we do have a huge number of examples of jobs disappearing thanks to machines — even the term "computer" used to refer to a job.

More recently and specifically to LLMs, such losses were already being reported around this time last year: https://www.businessinsider.com/jobs-lost-in-may-because-of-...
I think it was unfortunate Intel went with 16 byte paragraphs instead of 256 byte.

With 256 byte paragraphs, you would have been able to address 16MB instead of 1MB in real mode.
ive liked it only for keeping a html-rendered-table and pasting it into excel (or word as a table) - but should be a special copy/paste feature vs auto-on by default. cant wait for apple to catch on - esp when working in a terminal and pasting to a chat/wiki/ect

but who knows, maybe thats why dark-mode vs light-mode is still hard to implement, they have to deal with how copy-paste formatting works behind the scenes lol

edit: typos, fixup ideas
Typing and editing text has worked perfectly (with and without a proper keyboard) for many years on iDevices, until Apple broke it in the most recent OS version. Some major change, apparently related to spellchecker, hinders cursor movement now and results in entire words being unintentionally selected all the time.

(PSA: if the recent change annoys you to no end, as it did me, you can get back the previous editing behavior by turning off spellchecker in OS settings.)

Not counting source code, I type more text on a screen on either iPad or iPhone these days than any other way. If it was not convenient, I wouldn’t be doing it.

> Think about how long it takes/ho many steps it takes to put quotes around a chunk of text; to correct a misspelling; to rearrange some words.

None of those are slow. You know you can:

1) tap anywhere in text to move the cursor?

2) long tap (and drag if desired) to do the same ignoring word boundaries?

3) hold spacebar to move the cursor around the text?

Finally, you know if you type a lot you can connect your favorite mechanical keyboard and it will work just like it does on Mac, with Emacs-like movement combos and all?

Yes, if you like pain and insist on typing on a screen keyboard (I guess I do), certain text adjustments would be marginally slower than with a hardware keyboard, but on the other hand if you normally type English then swipe-typing more than compensates for that.
Oh certainly manure, compost, and worm castings etc are used. I was thinking those are not normally called "fertilizer", but would usually be referred to by their more specific name. When I said fertilizer is not used, I meant industrially derived chemical fertilizers.

I have two open-source projects where people can self-host for free, or use the cloud (SaaS) version. Although with Mapzy I stopped providing the cloud version for now. I have one codebase and then use an environment variable to activate features like Stripe that I need for the cloud version.

I don't have one. First because it is an eyesore. Second because most of the content I watch live is not in the living room but somewhere else. That somewhere else being any room in the house and I would definitely not want a 40" eyesore on every single room. Most of the time if I am watching something live I am doing something else at the same time, like cooking, building or repairing stuff so it is just more convenient to use a laptop for this.

For movies I have a beamer in the living room, the only wall without furnitures, flowers or frames being the screen.

Having said that, I don't know why we oppose "physical TVs" with youtube here. All TVs nowadays have youtube apps or can be plugged a device with the app on it, and every single TV channel on planet earth nowadays as a way to access it from a web browser.
Ask HN: How is the programming capability of GPT-4o?
Depends on the benchmarks. AI that can actually do end to end the job of software developers, theoretical computer scientists, mathematicians etc. would be significantly more impactful than this.

I want to see AI moving the state of the art of the world understanding - physics, mathematics etc. - the way it moved state of the art of the Go game understanding.

Faker and on antidepressants would be my take
May I just say this launch was a bit of a mess?

The web page implies you can try it immediately. Initially it wasn't available.

A few hours later it was in both the web UI and the mobile app - I got a popu[ telling me that GPT-4o was available. However nothing seems to be any different. I'm not given any option to use video as an input, the app can't seem to pick up any new info from my voice.

I'm left a bit confused as to what I can do that I couldn't do before. I certainly can't seem to recreate much of the stuff from the announcement demos.
The only reason I still have a job is that it can't (yet) take full advantage of artefacts generated by humans.

"Intern of all trades, senior of none", to modernise the cliché.
I’d love to see this! Can you give us a couple of concrete examples of this that we can check?
Indeed, that's why I said almost - but it's true for the squishy parts of the abdomen we're talking about.
> This way F-Droid could potentially insert a backdoor in an update.

Google requires app developers on play store to give goole the keys that enable google to insert backdoors in any release. I can't trust anything on the play store for this reason. There is no way to tell which apps have been backdoored by google for whatever reason (the usual reason is a NSL).
I take care of the etiquette and try to do my best to keep it low.

We need one who's doing the dirty work of not discussing.
And decommissioning promises to be more manageable and less expensive with microreactors. Individual microreactors can be swapped as they age out and decommissioned/refurbished elsewhere.
That's fair: the statement isn't hyperbolic in its language. But remember that GPT-2 was barely coherent. In making this statement, I would argue that OpenAI was trying to impart a sense of awe and danger designed to attract the kind of attention that it did. I would argue that they have repeatedly invoked danger to impart a sense of momentousness to their products. (And to further what is now a pretty transparent effort to monopolize the tech through regulatory intervention.)

For reading line by line from stdin you can do something like

import qualified Data.Text as T
import qualified Data.Text.IO as T
...
-- maybe you're reading things into a Set or something named acc
go acc = do
eof <- isEOF
if eof then pure acc
else do
line <- T.getLine
T.putStrLn ("LINE IS "<>line)
go (insert line acc)

There's hGetLine, hPutStrLn and hIsEOF for file handles, use withFile https://hackage.haskell.org/package/base-4.19.1.0/docs/Syste... which will close the handle when you exit the block. There are many more ways of doing this stuff of course, but the above will work fine for most stuff without any special libraries.

In general, use Data.Text for anything that you don't consider binary data (human-readable text as well as code, config files and such). Use Data.ByteString if you're thinking of it as pure encoded bytes.
iPad sales aren't stagnating because people don't want them.

They are stagnating because the market is saturated.

The iPad is a "private" device, so there isn't any social pressure to have the latest model. You're not taking it out in public multiple times a day.

The use cases are also more limited, so even when the software support ends, there isn't that much incentive to upgrade. Streaming services still work, browser works and the drawing apps work, no point in getting a new one.

I've owned iPads since the 2nd gen and haven't had a single one's battery die on me. Every time the device physically broke (after being handed down twice) before the battery died.
Many business doesn't want to send their data to a third party such as OpenAI, so until locally run LLM becomes wildly available in businesses.
Vigilantism is a straw man, though. No one said anything about going to that location. And police being useless isn't necessarily a global phenomenon.

Just knowing that you might be tracked when stealing would have been a massive deterrent. Now you know you can just hang out with the stuff you've stolen half an hour to see if it's tagged, and then take it home without repercussions.

Looking into it further, it seems booking.com is only "sort of European". Booking.com (headquartered in Amsterdam) is actually owned by Booking Holdings (an American company), which seems to have originated as Priceline, which then bought booking.com and renamed/restructured itself into Booking Holdings and owns Priceline, kayak, booking.com, Agoda and a bunch of other airline/hotel aggregators.

> We cannot predict the outcome of quantum experiments, only their probability based on the previous state of the world. And that is not because our instruments are not sharp enough, it seems indeterminism is a fundamental part of quantum reality.

I know very little about QM, so I could be completely off here, but, not being able to predict the outcome of an experiment could be completely different to the outcome being deterministic.

Lay person point of view. Rewind the universe by an hour and replay. Does QM have anything to say about that? I'm inclined to think not, but I really don't know. In other words, does QM say:

1) The result would certainly be the same.

2) The result could certainly be different.

3) The theory doesn't tell us one way or another, meaning it doesn't exclude either 1 or 2 being true.

If it is 1, then we have determinism. If it is 2, then we have randomness. I don't think either of those are compatible with what people think of as free will (mysterious ability to choose outside of physics).

Ask HN: What separates "super smart" people from commonfolk?
I ponder about it.

Is it largely genetics? Does everyone have an "upper limit" of the "smart" they can be, which is determined by their genes?

Or is it just hyper-focus and concentration that makes someone smart?

Let us assume, smart here means the rate at which someone lears, grasps or solves things.
