But a human gets paid for it. The local economy benefits from that. A fully automated system removes any possible middlemen from the chain and exacerbates the concentration of wealth.
Every now and then I will have a night where my brain feels "wired" and I can't sleep and just have thoughts racing through my head. It feels like a don't sleep or barely sleep and yet hours go by pretty fast so I assume I must be sleeping more than I think, but it is a different kind of sleep for sure.

It's completely different from software engineering interviews. The process you described for airline pilots gets to the actual qualifications for the job. Whereas for software engineers, literally no one needs to reverse a binary tree yet they base the decision on in large part on this sort of question. Ideally, the BS would be encapsulated in a certification so that interviews can focus on the real useful stuff.
And in both cases, Soviet Russia took less of Finland than they wanted to, because the losses were unacceptable to continue.

yeah, fair enough. we had to build virtually all of the software from scratch, including like, IPC. i wasn't involved as much with hardware but it does seem to be much more out there these days.

still a massive accomplishment imo!
Keychain Access has been there since the beginning of OSX/macOS. It's quietly been storing email and wifi passwords this entire time. Many, before there was an alternative like 1Password, used the app to store other info within as well through secure notes. Passwords in iOS and Safari, along with Keychain sync in iCloud have expanded the keychain functionality over the years and it's been fine for ~25 years or so. I have faith they won't suddenly screw this up and comparisons to less critical stuff like Screen Time aren't really valid here. And sherlocking? I don't think so. When 1Password came out, it was clearly inspired by Keychain Access that had been there for years prior with similar functionality and even user interfaces.

Musk used to be part of that exact same "other side" (American liberals) you're complaining about until California wouldn't let him keep Tesla factories open during COVID. So he completely flip-flopped and is now peddling Great Replacement bullshit.

The thing is, Musk's political ideology is "whatever strokes my ego". Always has been, and the same applies for a lot of other billionaires, especially California types[0]. Most political ideologies are not going to bend themselves to your whims because they're too busy actually saying something. Narcissists will be eternally disappointed by them.

On the other hand, fascism isn't a political ideology at all. You can love-bomb specific people who are desperate for power and control with it because fascism fundamentally doesn't say anything. Every other ideology will eventually tell you 'no', but fascists will say whatever is necessary to get critical power players on board with shutting down democracy and stifling dissent.

> Also the current X does far less steering (in any direction) than the censorship heavy regime of the past.

Musk's Twitter is far more blatant at pushing right-wing political narratives than it was under Jack. Furthermore, Musk is not a free speech extremist. He looooves firing people at Tesla and SpaceX who say anything critical of the company they work for. This is not how you run a successful business, this is how you stroke the Great Leader's ego. This even leaked over into Twitter's moderation policies, which were changed multiple times to justify the banning of ElonJet, an account that was created specifically to embarrass Musk for flying private jets.

[0] In general, I find California's blue state credentials to be highly suspicious. This is the state that gave us Ronald Reagan, after all.

This strikes me as a probably outdated view. If anything, Microsoft has de-emphasized preinstalled games and canned most of them since Windows 8, relegating them to being optional installs from the store. The internet says that the only preinstalled game in Win10/11 is Microsoft Solitaire Collection - but I can't even find that on my Windows 11 Pro install. So, considering macOS Chess, it's a one-for-one in terms of preinstalled games.
> A 1.25mg dose of CBD is essentially homeopathic levels.

Homeopathic levels are a vanishingly small chance of their being a single molecule of the notional ingredient in a dose. 1.25mg is not even remotely “essentially homeopathic”.
On your 2nd point, seems like this is merely a failure of marketing and product placement/research. I think you don’t truly believe in your product and here’s why:

The people simply do not understand, yet, that they want this sewage-kissed vintage. Slap some AI on it. You want this vintage, what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. Strengthens the immune system. Helps save water. Reduces CO2. It makes the alcohol stronger and you get drunker and with less headaches (don’t need to mention it’s because you’ll be comatose in the hospital with sepsis). Don’t be an elitist, look your homegrown trad and progressive influencer is drinking it. Publish research on it, no one can tell difference in blind taste testing and the paid subjects actually prefer ours anyways. Did you know we excrete most of our vitamins in our urine and feces? Reclaim that shit (literally) it’s highly bioavailabile too! Bonus!

Don’t give up, don’t admit defeat. Believe in your product.

Bottoms up.
Don't forget "HBO" -> Max. Or something. Is it the whole HBO brand or the app? No idea. It's even more confusing because there used to be some other "premium cable channel" with "max" in the name. Sin A Max?

Whatever, I guess I'm just old. First they came for my Magnavox, then my motorola, now my eggs and my HBO.

At least I still have X11.

Apple uses 1Password enterprise internally, so I doubt we’ll see it get completely Sherlocked since enterprise will continue using it.

Passwords.app will be used by folks who can’t be bothered to pay for a password manager, which won’t do much to 1Password’s bottom line.

There’s a lot of prior art like Apple uses Cisco WebEx instead of FaceTime for video collaboration. The products Apple produces are just very different than their enterprise counterparts.

This is something I've been wrestling with for a little bit. The challenge is that if everything is locked behind a data analyst then things only move as fast as the data analyst. If a business person needs some information now, not next quarter, the challenge is managing the queue for the data analyst which devolves into a world of "rush jobs". It's all the things highlighted by the theory of constraints (The Goal by Goldratt is sooo good). You can alleviate the DA bottleneck by getting more DAs or you can find ways to help the business users do some of the basic stuff themselves.

I wholeheartedly agree that just giving a business user access to the straight database is not ideal for all the issues mentioned - they don't know the context and the gotchas in the data combined with probably not understanding how to write SQL. I think an effective data warehouse strategy with straightforward data marts of materialized views can simplify the interaction and maybe even make it really simple for someone to generate basic visualizations. A lot of business people can make basic dashboards in Excel which, worst case, could be connected to a data mart. It's not going to handle BIG data but may cover a large number of use cases for most businesses.

I'm in favor of creating some basic dashboards We've also been experimenting with embedding dashboards in internal tools that provide some slice and dice capabilities but with a high level filter. A user can manipulate and tweak a dashboard for a specific customer but to look at a different customer they need to navigate to it in the internal tools, not via the dashboard.
Ask HN: What are some knowledge gaps you commonly see for web developers?
To give a serious answer to your serious reply to my snarky post: I think we're in an AI hype cycle, I don't deny that AI is sometimes useful but it seems like everyone and their dog is trying to add some kind of "AI" to their product now, without thinking through either the value to the end user, or any privacy implications. They've just heard that AI = $$$ and are running with it. In some cases it even becomes one more way to slurp up everyone's data for ads and training yet more AI.

Even Microsoft Recall could be useful for many people, but it should have been opt-in from the start. Personally I'd also wish that AI modules were only installed when you opt in, so you don't take up valuable space (especially on mobile) with a massive matrix of model weights unless the user actually asks for that.
Of all the things in the world, this made me feel a jolt of sadness.
I have been playing with plandex off and on for a bit now, and I like it's approach. It's not trying to be a fully automated developer, but it does a lot more than copilot does.

The biggest use I have used it for was to wrap unit tests around a large class that isn't currently tested. I did it slowly, a few functions at a time, and sometimes with followup prompts to fix oversights or clean up a bit, or add extra test cases that it missed with a basic 'write tests for ...' prompt.

The workflow I ended up liking was:
* plandex does large edit
* vscode + copilot to tweak and edit.

Combined it was pretty quick to do useful work on a complex established codebase, although limited in scope. There's no way it would implement real features, but it's great at backfilling tests, making skeletons of new pages, and similar things.
Exploring VM Introspection: Techniques and Trade-Offs (2015)
It's true all of Europe doesn't look like that, but the difference is real and shouldn't be underestimated. Even in most European single family home suburbs, you can usually walk, bike or transit to nearby schools, supermarket, the odd cafe and restaurant. Ie what's being said isn't that Europe is devoid of cars, it's that it isn't exclusively designed for cars to the point where you cannot exist without one.

In a huuuuge share of the US, this is not the case. There are no sidewalks, you have to travel extremely far to get to anything, and cross highways or even freeways doing it. There's no transit. There's no village center or train station around a natural focal point, just giant strip malls that are few and far between. So EVERYONE. MUST. DRIVE. It is the ONLY option for every trip and errand, there is no alternative. This is insane.
For which claim? That people have an impression that things have gotten worse? You look at our recent European elections and how much of the campaigning was on law and order and the perception of the collapse of society.

Yeah, because what we need as a society is an entire generation of neurotic self-obsessed spinsters prioritizing the indulgence of their capricious sexual desires over all else.
Slop is more of a term to describe extreme cost savings pushed onto consumers and marketed as “progress”.
MS-DOS (and PC-DOS) also didn’t have subdirectories until version 2.0.

These were floppy disk oriented operating systems, and at 360 kB per floppy, directories were not really that useful.

Hard disk support made it more urgent to offer Unix-style directories. Since the forward slash was already used for CLI parameters in the CP/M style, it couldn’t be used as the path separator. So Microsoft chose the backslash instead, and it persists in Windows today.
The fundamental issue is that it's unreliable to know if you'll like content before you've experienced it. But afterwards you're not going to pay because you have already experienced it. It's a "market for lemons".
Actually it's because antitrust laws are stretched to the point that big acquisitions are no longer likely to win approval, so "alternative" exits are the only option.

Not to mention that until interest rates rose a few years ago, these PE acquisitions could be funded with cheap borrowed money.

> The difference with AI slop is just the enormity of the scale and speed at which we can produce it. Finally, a couple of data centers can produce more slop than the entirety of humanity, combined.

Think only about your own consumption for a second. You're not going to engage with slop, are you?

I'm imagining that whatever your filter process is, that you manage to heavily engage with content that is mostly good and well-suited for you. Discounting Google search becoming crummy, of course.

AI in the hands of talented people is a tool, and they'll use it to make better stuff that appeals to you.

I wouldn't worry about other people. Lots of people like rage bait, yellow journalism, tabloid spam, celebrity gossip, etc. There's not much you can do about that.
I also like the RP2040, but I'd like to explain why I migrated away from it for my current project.

First, the drama with PlatformIO really rubbed me the wrong way. I'm taking the side of the developers who are hurt by confusion in tooling.

Second, the top of the line ESP32-S3 comes in a module format that can be dropped on a PCB with basically nothing but a few decoupling capacitors. The RP2040 requires careful placement of about a dozen components, including a crystal. Not only does a module reduce implementation complexity dramatically, standardization skips every engineer potentially making their own dumb component placement mistakes.

Third, the ESP32-S3 has 14 GPIO pins that can be configured to do capacitive touch, while the RP2040 has none. Most of the projects that use RP2040 and capacitive touch rely on the MPR121, an IC that past its EOL and will likely cause a lot of hasty redesigns over the next few months.

It's also worth saying that eventually RP2040 will likely release more or less powerful versions, and hopefully versions in a module format. I doubt they will ever let it become an STM or PIC situation, but the ESP32 product lineup doesn't look so crazy once you are acclimatized to it.

This makes sense to me because for years I have felt like I'm laying in bed awake yet I also feel like I got some sleep. I described this as " I didn't sleep at all last night, but maybe I did because I feel slightly rested even though I was awake." Knowing my background, hyper vigilance and PTSD are probably at play.
Algebraic notation hasn't changed notably in the last (at least) 50 years. The abbreviated form that most people use today was also the form that most people used 50 years ago. (A change to indicate draw offers is the only one I can remember.)

The point is that there are multiple ways of writing the same move, and none of them are more correct than the other. Basing your definition of a move on the precise text that the computer happened to spit out when the games were retrieved, that's just being lazy.
When I was a kid and I was told to write an essay "what is slop" teachers would give lots of extra points for dumping useless and somehow vaguely related information just to raise the word count. Answers along "slop is useless shit created only to serve as filler content to make money on stupid people" would get zero points, I was expected to write the history of slop, the etymology of the word, the cultural context, the projected future, blah blah blah, don't forget at least ten citations, even if they're even more useless than the essay I was writing and 100% pure unadulterated slop.

My master's thesis was on a topic that nobody else researched (it wasn't revolutionary, just a fun novel gimmick), so I had to write filler just to have a chapter on a topic possible to find references to, in order to get the citations count, even if the chapter wasn't relevant to the actual topic of the thesis

So yes, I think that the push to create slop was there even before computers became a thing, we just didn't recognize it
"The thing about Norway is that it’s a cold, barren, remote place where very few people want to live."

We walked 700km through Norway in the summer, from Oslo to Trondheim (the South were most people live). The country was sunny and warm, it seldom rained, people were exceptionally friendly, and it had the best wild strawberries and raspberries I ever ate. The Dovrefjell was the only very cold place. We'll might move there in the future.
I work with industrial HSMs (those expensive ones) on a daily basis and their SDKs are a bugfest (both client side and in-device). They are audited (FIPS140-2 and now 3 approved even!) but apperantly testing the firmware against the test vectors from the RFCs is too much too ask for...

Contacting support about broken firmware or broken documentation is a trip to tartarus in itself. Decompiling the libraries is usually faster to figure out what is wrong.

Don't put too much trust in them unless you really have to.
This happens to both me and my partner, more often with me though. I've literally been (from my perspective) lying there awake when they say "you're snoring" and been able to immediately respond "no I'm not" - which obviously makes no sense.

I don't think either of us have insomnia. Both of us do have other mostly-managed health issues that occasionally cause us to stay up with racing thoughts, but the two phenomena aren't really associated with each other. (Also, I think it happens to my partner more because they use unfiltered screens late at night. If I accidentally use a device without blue light filtering it's much more likely for me to be unable to fall asleep. So not "real" insomnia.)
If you're a cynic, announcing that you've "discovered" a large of amount of REE in your iron ore tailings - and having the chief executive of the EU declare it strategically important - seems like a very good way of making sure you can continue mining iron ore for the forseeable future.

Children, even teenagers, account for a very small portion of pedestrian deaths. Arguably this is because they're kept indoors, but the 20-25 age bracket is the second least likely to die as a pedestrian, despite being young and (stereotypically) dumb and reckless at that age. On the other hand, 25-35 are the most likely to get hit.

Some other interesting statistics: 25% of pedestrians killed were drunk, while only 19% of the time the driver was (these overlap, both drunk, in 6% of cases.) 3/4ths of pedestrian fatalities occur at night. 2/3rds don't occur in a crosswalk.

Take away: kids who don't drink, don't stay out at night and use crosswalks are significantly less likely to be hit.

Sort of. VIX being low means the volatility is low right now. If you want to look at what the market think, you'd have to look at the premiums for the various strike prices. I would guess the market anticipates hitting 20ish within the next year. That's still not super high.

13 seems low even by historical standards. I might need to place a bet on VIX going up depending on what the option prices look like.
