I guess I have to respond with the same thing over and over because there are so many people saying the same thing without reading the replies.

HTTP is better because: it lasts forever without mantainence, it's easier to learn set up with no third parties required, all software can access a HTTP website, it's low resource requirements, and HTTP+HTTPS is perfectly fine.

Whereas CA TLS only lasts a year or two without mantainence, is so complex to set up and keep running that a literal ecosystem of programs (acme, acme2, etc) exist to hide that complexity, only software within the last ~few years can access CA TLS websites because of TLS version sunsetting and root cert expirations and the like, and everyone centralizing in the same CA makes it extremely easy to apply political/social pressures for censorship in a CA TLS only browser world. Additionally requiring third party participating to set up a website makes it harder for people to learn how to run their own and it requires more compute resources.

CA TLS only feels like it should be "required" when the person can't imagine a web browser that doesn't automatically run all untrusted code sent to it. When the only types of websites the person can image are commercial or institutional rather than personal and the person believes all the web should cargo cult the requirements of commerce. Personal websites involving no monetary or private information transactions don't actually need to worry about targeted MITM and there's no such thing as open wireless access points anymore.
The original quotes are deeply profound. They point to something that is beyond understanding. I also found the attempt to invert them to be off-putting.

MailChannels' Email Sending API for Cloudflare Workers to Be Terminated
How's about the 1 law of software complexity: software developers are not taught how to professionally communicate, so they over talk and ignore, misinform and mislead one another into a clusterfuck of complexity, over and over again. Never dawning on their minds that better communications would solve their repeating nightmare of complex weakly composed mud balls called their work.
Honestly, the same craft that wiped everyone out had done okay before it bombed. Just one good dive doesn’t prove it’s all safe. But real talk, that dude was slammed by everyone and warned by pros for cutting corners. Might not be the whole industry that’s sketchy, you know? Sounds more like these wild cowboy types who ignore the rules are the real danger.

All of this changes when you consider your commute on the clock.

I've been doing this since RTO 3-days a week and it really helps. I've already proven that I can work from home without issue, so heading into the office definitely isn't for my benefit - it's effort that I apply for the benefit of my employer, something they've even admitted by saying working from the office allows for "spontaneous collaboration and increased efficiency". As it's for their benefit (and also a detriment for me) then they can pay me for the time I spend doing it.

If they don't like it then they can let me WFH.
It does not need to be EV purchases. When the company I worked for went to China, it paid 0% taxes for several years. This is a subsidy. I worked there, and everything was subsidised, the steel and aluminium plants for example. If as engineer you don't pay taxes on your salary, you are subsidised.
OK, so what's the bar by which Altman would be considered "non-technical"?
Now pushing 70 and retired for 4+ years, I don't seem to have any difficulties learning new or difficult things. There's some irritation at not remembering some of the prerequisites to certain topics that you once knew well, e.g., all the old trig identities. But after 50 or so years, that those memories are somewhat degraded is hardly a surprise. As others have noted, they're still in there, you just have to coach them out and polish the pathways. I seem to have more pursuits now than I actually have time for. Right now, I'm working through a calculus/diffeq refresher to prepare to go down the physics/electronics rabbit hole. I've spent some time playing around with Arduino and while it's fun and you can build a lot of things, it's mostly about what. And what and how were the dominate memes from my working life. Now I want to know the why behind the how on many subjects. And the math that has decayed over the ensuing decades is thus essential. For me, retirement has been like a new beginning. Live like you'll live forever. You won't, of course, but it sure as hell beats the "Waiting around to die" mindset.

Did we not all evangelize Google in it's early days?

> A spokesperson said union members, around 20 percent of the company workforce, would use annual leave to strike for one day on June 7, leaving the door open for a potential general strike down the road.

Despite the clickbait earlier in the article about disruption to supply chains, this seems quite small.
> Why would money printing increase housing prices but not wages?

Because most of the freshly printed money wasn't immediately used to increase the demand for consumer goods. Instead, it only kept consumer goods demand about neutral, until the summer of 2022.

Without inflation in consumer goods, most businesses don't have increased profits, and no incentive to try to hire more people, which kept wages down.

Instead, the extra money found it's way into assets, pumping up the stock market and housing market.

That started changing in 2022, as inflation hit (which SHOULD have surprised nobody). But the inflation was kept in check by increasing the interest rate.

The increase in the interest rate stopped the amount of money from continuing to grow and even fall slightly. But not nearly enough to reach pre-covid levels.

That means that there is still a lot of excess money in the system slushing around. As long as the real interest rate on bank deposits is still low, people are not tempted to keep them as deposits. So the money stays in assets, maintaining the high price.

> Why would money printing postpone its effect on prices until after interest rates increased?

I'm assuming you mean consumer prices here, not housing prices. Consumer prices stayed low during the pandemic, since people generally reduced their consumption, especially the consumption of services (restaurants, entertainment, etc). A lot of "regular" people paid down credit card debt or increased the size of their savings account.

In 2022, that changed. "Regular people" started to spend more of their savings again, and this caused inflation to rise. As inflation was going up, the fed (and other central banks) slowly increased the interest rate, but not quickly enough to stop the sharp rise in aggregate demand. (And war in Ukraine and continued lockdown in China didn't help either, nor did various initiatives to re-shore production of anything from microchips to ventilators, or for that matter the huge investments of capital currently going into AI infrastructure).

And as demand pushed inflation up, that lead to some increase in the demand for labor. So even if the salaries haven't kept up with inflation, inflation definitely has been increased by the increase in salaries.

Naively, one might expect that the inflationary pressure will cease once aggregate inflation reaches 25% relative to 2020.

And if you wonder why wages haven't kept up. I think this can be explained by a weakening of the demand side of consumer goods, driven by various inefficiencies in how capital allocation, due to the cost of building new and robust supply chains, due to the situation in Ukraine/Russia and China and AI investments etc (as listed above, too).
The EU does not have a great track record with regard to privacy. "Connected cars" can easily be sold to regulators as necessary for safety. When a choice has to be made between privacy and safety (or "safety") the EU chooses safety every time.

Cars will monitor driver attention, reckless driving, speeding and tattle to the manufacturer and insurance company. I expect these changes to be gradual and people will grouch about it before ultimately relenting.

We don't, but a model where a user pays for a service rather than being free and ad supported is significantly less likely to enact user unfriendly changes.

If the way you make money is by convincing people to pay, you are highly incentivised to make the product good, especially where there are many other free competitors who are ad supported.
Notably you didn’t translate the meaning, or, at least, “earth” or “land” is certainly too narrow.

This isn't your issue though. A group chooses to talk in an environment where they can barely hear each other. Rather than using a device for it, I'd recommend to perceive the problem as it is and solve it in a conventional way. E.g. by saying "I couldn't hear shit, and you too probably. That's stupid, let's go <goodplacename> instead" unless it's hard to do. Generally these places are designed for you to suffer unless you're screaming all the time and are indifferent to surroundings. I don't get why people go there and leave money, cause I wouldn't go there even for that money. You don't want an AI device that replaces respect for each others limits.
They are not simple. You need traffic lights. You need road-level indicators, slopes and guard rails for them to work.

Meanwhile, I've seen roundabouts that are just a circle painted in the middle of the crossing, and that's it: everybody knows how to use it. See for example the main image of the linked article below.

USA people is so against roundabouts it hurts. According to Wikipedia, there are 160 diverging diamonds in the world, 150 of them in the USA. France built two in the 1970's, and it was so good that today they have... two. Meanwhile there are at least 300 roundabouts per million of habitants in Europe (France has 1,000 per million). Heck, even the US has at least 5,000 roundabouts. Some people call them "ugly", but even they say:

"Mélanie Cathelin, who runs a toy store on one of Abbeville’s main shopping streets, said she now finds traffic lights in other cities jarring, whether in neighboring Amiens or on a recent vacation in Florida."

"To cut down on the noise, traffic jams and fender benders occurring at one intersection, Mr. Dumont decided in 2010 to turn the troublesome spot into a roundabout. It solved the problems. Ten more traffic circles followed. In October, the city’s only remaining traffic light was sawed down."

So much for an adversarial structure...

You only need about 35 hp to keep a 4000lb car cruising at 70 mph. The idea? Run the powertrain totally on battery, then toss in a 50 or 70 hp engine just to charge it up.

It's flipping the hybrid script: instead of using electric for low demand and gas for more juice, it's electric for the main power and gas just for the battery.

This puts the heavy lifting on the 90% efficient powertrain and eases up on the super inefficient 25% one.

Toyota should've been all over this back in 2015.

They don't cost 50k. They cost at least an order of magnitude less.

My moms hearing aids cost 3000€. They support bluetooth so she can use them with her iPhone. The price includes hearing tests, getting molds of the hearing canal, all the setup and configuration performed by skilled technicians.

Sure they are expensive, but there really isn't much of an opportunity for disruption. Customized hardware is expensive, there's no way around that.

Preliminary report findings on Singapore Airlines incident
>
The preliminary report said that upon the flight encountering slight vibrations there was an uncommanded increase in altitude, resulting in the autopilot pitching the aircraft downwards. There was an increase in airspeed and the pilots responded by applying speed brakes.

>
“While managing the airspeed … it was heard that a pilot called out that the fasten seatbelt sign had been switched on,” it said.

No expert here for sure, but this looks like a "dispute" between the pilots and the autopilot, interested on some educated first guesses on this
I like Kagi a lot (just look at my comment history), but I'm letting my subscription lapse when it comes time to renew. I've found myself going to Google a lot more often, and I'm finding more and more transparently spammy sites in the Kagin index. Some, for example, are clearly Gen AI created.

If I were a rich man, I would probably keep my subscription just to support a Google competitor. Alas, I'm not, and so I'll be going back to Google.
Very interesting article. I feel like these are more laws of culture than laws of software per-se. Said in other ways:

"It only takes a match to burn down a forest"

"One bad apple spoils the bunch"

Keeping a system well designed requires good engineering culture (as other people have said), and a great alignment across engineering, management, sales... the whole company.

In control systems, you typically handle these situations with some sort of feedback mechanism. Said another way: you need to "feel" the problem if you want to be able to adjust quickly enough.

It'd be interesting to know if this kind of "feedback loop" exists for human societies / companies. Or it is just what it is: it exists, but it has a very large delay, which causes the system to eventually collapse and restart...
Nothing could possibly be bulletproof. You sent a key over the wire unencrypted. You were in trouble before the data even got to the server to do anything about it.

This approach is a practical choice based on the reality that the bulk of unencrypted traffic is not being actively mitmed and is at most being passively collected. Outside of actually developing cryptosystems, security tends to be a practical affair where we are happy building systems that improve security posture even if they don't fix everything.

I love terminals, but I have to say, I kind of hate this sort of thing? Where you need at least 256 colors, GPU acceleration, and 240 columns x 80 lines? At that point it's just a curiosity, anywhere you could do that in a terminal you could do it easier and better in a graphical window. I want my terminal apps to actually still work in an 80x24 monochrome VT220 at 19200 baud. I want them to use termcap instead of hardcoding xterm's extensions to ANSI.

Very interesting, concept. I have a friend with seeming no hearing issues that has to cup his ears when in louder environments such as bars, restaurants, etc. I’m wondering if anyone here has a solution to that.
So how do you explain your claim being in so much contrast to the data that is easily checked and supplied by the @nabla9 comment?
One thing that wasn't mentioned that works pretty well - if you have a RAG process running async rather than in a REPL loop, you can retrieve documents then perform a pass with another LLM to do summarization/extraction first. This saves input token costs for expensive LLMs, and lets you cram more information in the context, you just have to deal with additional latency.
So would you suggest he change it to work like quasar?
No but old ice cars did not have data collection and I can still buy one and will as long as law permit it and I cannot control where and when data is sent.

“ According to United Nations data, the number of aid trucks entering Gaza hit a peak last week since October: A total of 1,674 aid trucks entered Gaza through the Kerem Shalom and Rafah crossings” - May 10

No, Jira doesn't work for that. The law requires proper tracking of worktime, vacations, sick days, etc, so there are separate apps for that, some tied to a physical badge or token you need to scan when you enter/exit the building so that the system starts or stops tracking your time at work and that managers have a view who's in the office and who's not. Kind of like the punch cards and clocks of old days except digital.

Jira is explicitly to track the time you put in on specific technical issues/stories so that scrum masters and project managers have an idea how long tasks take, Jira doesn't track how long you spent in the office which can be longer than the amount of coding task you filled.

In a previous company I worked at there were displays in the building showing the current presence/absence of each employee, if they're in the office or not, if they're on sick leave, vacation, etc via icons next to their names on the displays like in some dystopian hellhole. And this was a tech company in one of the richer EU countries. Totally legal btw.
Many countries subsidize EVs in the form of tax credits for people buying them, and some by giving very favorable loans to EV manufacturers.
Kagi is worth the money, but it isn't magic. It's about as good as Google was ~five years ago, before they made all the search operators stop work. There's also a whole bunch of things it's worse at that Google - especially local search and shopping. Plus I still get plenty of blogspam and AI generated crap from Kagi.

I like this idea, but time spent commuting will never truly be paid. Because if you were working from home, you could still start later / end earlier and get the same amount of work done in less time.
If OpenAI gets as far with AI as they want to, then it is absolutely imperative that nobody there is accidentally leaning on the scales, let alone actually doing anything (even something minor) with selfish intent.

Even if they're "just another tech firm", that's still enough for them to be another Facebook with the Cambridge Analytica and Rohingya scandals, and many people would like to make sure such things don't repeat.

I am fine with that kind of system if:
- data is only sent to emergency services
- data is only sent when required (crash detection, airbag deployment, manual call through button etc)

And it is unrelated to all the data the manufacturers collect.
So I'm not alone. I'm in my mid-forties and have experienced a significant decline over the last few years. Now I can rarely distinguish one voice in moderate background noise (conversations, music) without leaning towards them, cupping my ears. Sometimes I just have to give up and try to nod or smile at the right time as the conversation goes on around me.

I recently had a test at an ENT doctor who told me my hearing is fine and insinuated I was wasting his time. The test was listening to high-pitched beeps over white noise, which isn't representative of the problem. Distinguishing one particular tone over several similar ones would be more like it.
OK, deleting and reinstalling works, and now it works.

I'm concerned that the app does not work at all in airplane mode - like, even navigating between pages ("return to home" from a failure).
