Congratulations, you've shown you don't know how the world actually works. This is called "Weird Nerd" but it really means, "Someone who can't operate within society and thus is forced to suffer because they'll do the hard work of building or designing something, but won't do the hard work of understanding human beings."

First, go learn how the world actually works. Not the way you clearly - and incorrectly - believe it to work - the way it actually works. Then once you figure out how to operate within the system, you might actually get something worthwhile done.

> The Weird Nerd judges based upon objectively observed behavior rather than social cues or group opinions.

This is why they so consistently fail.

> Mostly, the Weird Nerd gets in trouble because they simply aren't fooled.

They get in trouble because they have an incorrect mental model of the world and are instead stuck in how they think the world "ought" to work, instead of how it "actually" works.
It’s a spectrum because someone can be incredibly able to understand and relate to people, but completely unable to verbalize and communicate effectively. Conversely someone else can communicate just fine, but has major challenges in ‘modeling’, empathizing, or understanding the behaviors of others.

This is error is one that most Python programmers must have experienced early in their career. Usually the other way around, when they define a mutable default value and are hit by strange results. On when adding the current time (datetime.datetime.now()) as a function default.

As a rookie programmer you might not notice this pattern, but after getting hit a few times you’ll immediately see that. And default to either a factory or to None and then set the value inside the function.

ChatGPT code is only safe to use if you understand it. If you don’t, there’s always the risk that it will bite you.

That's not what I said. The "tools" were also created from DNA, i.e. the mother.

Or are you saying that there's essentially undocumented-code that exists inside a living organisim and is transmitted mother to daughter, by virtue of being gestated, but is not in DNA?

I'm pretty sure different banks use vastly different architectures. Some run nightly batch jobs on mainframes that are written in COBOL. But alas, I've not worked for any bank, this is just a commonly used example. I am willing to bet the transaction log, or ledger, is indeed a very common approach since that's also common in accounting.

EDIT: Also event sourcing would typically be eventually consistent. I imagine for some banking applications a stronger consistency guarantee might be required, e.g. to prevent you from withdrawing the $100 in your account multiple times.

Show HN: Let AI Interview Your Users
As a founder with background in user research, I was skeptical at first if an AI voice interviewer would really work. After testing and iterating with hundreds of live users of consumer and enterprise apps—the conversations have been super insightful.

It will never replace talking live with your users but it will be 10x more insightful than surveys with the same speed and scalability.

I posted the Serving Netflix Video Traffic at 800Gb/s and Beyond [1] in 2022. For those who are unaware of the context you may want to read the previous PDF and thread. Now we have some update; quote

> Important Performance Milestones:

2022: First 800Gb/s CDN server 2x AMD 7713, NIC kTLS offload

2023: First 100Gb/s CDN server consuming only 100W of power, Nvidia Bluefield-3, NIC kTLS offload

My immediate question is if the 2x AMD 7713 actually consumes more than 800W of power. i.e More Watts / Gbps. Even if it does, it is based on 7nm Zen 3 and DDR4 came out in 2021. Would a Zen 5 DDR5 outperforms Bluefield in Watts / Gbps?

Even if they can't do anything better than other companies, if they can do it in a way that avoids having my questions sent to the cloud, I'll be much more likely to use it. I don't mind if it's a generation behind (and will increasingly feel this way as things progress), if the tradeoff is rock-solid privacy.
That would probably be a terrible experience.

"You're out of your depth" is an insult to someone with an excessive ego.

If you're not actually out of your depth, you won't be insulted by it.

I don't get insulted when someone says I'm stupid. Because that is not true, and I know it isn't true. It isn't the things we know to be untrue that insults us - it's the things that we know to be true, that we can't accept - or even worse - can't see about ourselves that insult us.
If you code for a hobby/fun, yeah, sure, it's a silly mistake.

If you're earning past six figures, are part of a team of programmers, call yourself an professional / engineer, and have technical management above you like a VP of Engineering, yadda yadda....then it's closer to systematic failure of the company's engineering practices than "mistake."

There is a reason we call it software engineering, not software fuckarounding (or, cough, "DevOps Engineeer".)

Software engineering practices assume people are going to make mistakes, and implements procedures to reduce the chances of that making it into production, and reduce the impact of those mistakes if they do make it into production.

Actually we have leads / customers asking us in Request for Proposals, what AI we have in our products [Because competition has it]. We know the competition doesn't have that, they call their smart alerting features when a certain threshold is met "AI-powered".

AI became a marketing tool, and customers grade you on it.
No, because each baby comes from a uterus, there is a second possible information transmission mechanism at play. Until we see a baby formed outside of a uterus that has a functioning uterus itself, you can’t be certain that the DNA has the requisite data.
If there were an almost FOSS personal electronics company that made quality, durable, and repairable devices with clean UX, usability, and long term OS-app compatibility, these would have a wider audience than simply infinitely-upgradeable laptops or laptops that are designed to be vintaged every 7 years. Call me a socialist, but designed to break just after the warranty and planned obsolescence are scourges resulting in higher profits, but suck for the customer, lose goodwill, and are fundamentally uncool for what they do to the planet. It is more ethical and respectable to craft excellent things that are "too durable" that people will treasure for many years because it's better than creating overpriced, pretty, fragile, incompatible e-waste.

Similarly, an "Apple for datacenters" like Oxide but larger scale (by the rack as a demo and intermodal container-scale customarily) with integrated, observable, resilient, multi-tenant {bare metal, I, k8s, P, GPU, network, storage}aaS.
At some point I used that too, but it's kind of built-in nowadays.

Completely cutoff from the internet is probably not feasible for most of us, but many cases of access are probably far less urgent than we pretend them to be. Barring work, for me the vast majority of necessary access (such as financial administration) could probably be batch processed once a week.

it seems that a lot of my submissions over the past 7 months to my own stuff were with Medium's link shortener and that gets banned, mainly because if you follow a link from Medium's stats the url is the shortened form.

I noticed you mentioned Medium, perhaps your problems also stem from the same source?
they named their A.I. language model Claude — which, depending on which employee you ask, was either a nerdy tribute to the 20th-century mathematician Claude Shannon or a friendly, male-gendered name designed to counterbalance the female-gendered names (Alexa, Siri, Cortana) that other tech companies gave their A.I. assistants.

It's a great introduction. I used it a lot when trying to work out a collection of sample introductory assembly programs for Silicon. I only share as it's on topic:

The only part of your post that I do not agree with is:

> It's like the Mr. Beast open-mouth-surprised expression thumbnail nonsense; you feel incredibly compelled to click it.

I feel incredibly compelled to ignore it.
Untrue. Even small communities have shown to be able to do maintenance on whatever piques their interest. 250 customers with a high stakes product is large enough for them (or their insurer) to collectively hire say one programmer and one mechanic. That would be more capacity than 50% of FOSS.
False. This is very naive. If this was true, we wouldn't get the regular posts on HN about OSS drama, and how some people gave up OSS. Opening source up is more than showing us the source.
It isn't difficult to predict at this point: It will be added as a minor gimmick to every app and mostly rolled back next version as the hype dies down and the embarrassing half assed implementations are mocked.

I wouldn't even be surprised if they add it to the calculator app at first. Next version they'll keep the vaguely plausible integrations that people actually use. Which will be very few.

Some of this will be justified internally as experimentation and data collection. This used to be called taste.

In actuality it is because they don't want to be perceived by the markets as "falling behind". We gotta do something, this is a thing, and therefore.. arm flail

All the incentives at play point squarely at enshitification.
> I can trace all the way through multiple services easily on a simple detailed flame graph in our systems.

That's not exactly an obscure feature exclusive to datadog. From the top of my head, both AWS and Azure support distributed tracing with dedicated support for visualization in their x-ray and application insights services.
Yes, Fork is a very welcome spiritual successor.

Lol is this a trend or meme now? I am seeing similar comments pop up. I do not think settled-in users of Arch post these anywhere but maybe I am wrong.
No, they claim they haven't done that. Also the ToS words are legally binding, some "promise" they made as part of a PR reaction is not.
Operating in the asteroid belt may be more useful. Good access to water, carbon, some nitrogen, and metal resources, so all the basics are available. Robots are probably going to be doing most of the work. Maybe with some on-site human presence, maybe not. It's not clear anyone will live there, but mining operations are likely.

Same issue as microservices: there are people who want to use the paradigm but not do the investment in monitoring/tooling.

I agree, but on the other hand I don’t think anyone can do anything.

I have a stake in treating ADHD but it’s difficult to even describe what ADHD is to a layperson. Describing the needs is almost impossible as different people have different needs and they often don’t align.

What I’m sure of, though, is that “today” is very hostile to mental health. Some people have been focusing on microplastics, impact of drugs, unhealthy food etc, but it seems that everyone are oblivious to impact of health on the mental health.

We're overworked, stressed, always improving, forced into activities we don’t enjoy (I’ve heard a term “fit-terrorism” to which I don’t agree but seemingly it exists in some circles; there’s ultra parenthood notion etc.), fed with bullshit coming from social networks, and convinced by talking heads that we are in wrongs and should be doing their rights.

It’s tough and it’s damaging all of us.
I concur.

Perhaps "mental health" is such a broad diagnosis that talking about remedies for "mental health" may be unhelpful. The remedies for a paranoid schizophrenic may be very different to depression which may be very different to say ADHD.

Treating as a disease with a chemical cure does in part remove some of the stigma. But it's really only helpful if it addresses the root cause of the problem.

Much of the root of "modern" mental health is "feeling good" as in "I had to step back to protect my mental health" and that's more a social, and view-of-self issue that's best addressed with therapy.

So perhaps the categorization of "mental health" is as varied as "physical health" and we can accept that no one solution is going to fix everything.

The AI industry needs to show that it's useful, not that it's innovative. People won't come if you just build stuff. Outside of the tech industry, I have found people have literally no interest or just disdain for this. Personally I haven't found a single use for any of the current AI tools out there which materially improves my life other than the de-noise in Adobe Lightroom.

I suspect Apple are the most likely organisation to be able to change this as they have a track record of taking existing technology and making it useful and demonstrating it effectively.

If they can't do this or it's a disaster I expect it will by proxy reflect badly across the entire industry. This will be an interesting year.
It does seem sort of obvious that many mental health conditions are tied up in a person’s wider life and lifestyle, not just in brain chemistry. But is this really a revolution in our understanding? Hasn’t psychiatry always taken a broad view of potential causes? People sitting on a couch talking about what’s going on in their lives and somehow being helped by conversing with the psychiatrist?

Or is this about non-psychiatrist doctors rushing people onto drugs instead of referring them to psychiatric treatment?
I doubt GP was suggesting it is unique to DD.
Apple sells consumer devices. You want to tinker with AI get a TPU.
We don’t actually know what the long-term health consequences of Martian or lunar gravity are.

We know the long-term health consequences of microgravity (as in LEO) are significantly negative.

But, we lack data on long-term health effects of Martian or lunar gravity. Pessimistically, humans really need close to 1g, and anything significantly less causes serious problems-lunar isn’t going to be much better than microgravity. Optimistically, humans just need “some gravity”, and while close to zero is harmful, lunar or Martian isn’t.

The way things are going, we are likely to find out in the next 10-20 years, at least for the lunar case. If lunar gravity avoids most of the negative health effects of microgravity, Martian gravity will too. If it doesn’t there is still the chance that Martian gravity might be “just enough” even if lunar gravity isn’t

Depends a bit where you live I think. Here in Switzerland smartphone ownership among kids is less prevalent than say in the US. There's mostly consensus that we're not doing the kids any favors. But the peer pressure is just there. Also it doesn't help that some schools use WhatsApp for in-class communication.
> Drawing compasses are also still important creative tools. But there are tens of thousands (millions?) of excellent used ones in great condition stashed away in people's attics and 99% of professional users switched to CAD, so the market is gone.

That comparison is not fair. Drawing compasses are less complex in terms of mechanical and optical design and manufacturing than film cameras.

> The creative appearance part is done in software later. You're comparing apples to oranges.

You are right, digital is designed to have no opinionated look. It is sterile. And funnily enough most popular LUTs are simulating old film stocks.
This gets more and more common, companies and founders does not think about the infrastructure since they believe that their cloud provider of choice is going to do it for them with it's magic.

As soon as you expect paying customers in your system you need to have someone with the knowledge and experience to deal with infrastructure. That means logging, monitoring, alerting, security etc.

DevOps.. amateurs.
And, ironically, I had the exact opposite conversation where we kept paying money to fund customer support phone lines that had one call in 6 months because the sales and marketing team couldn't conceive of the fact that nobody under 30 (our primary demographic) wanted to use voice anymore and were screaming for an app/webapp chat of some form.

Not knowing your customers isn't unique to engineers.
It seems that MSVC supports inline assembly only on 32-bit x86. For amd64 and ARM they moved entirely to intrinsics.
It would be fantastic to have a well performing laptop with Linux that lasts a full day of work and then some. My recent laptops have had so much battery degradation in just a year. I hope the battery management is fantastic. 1.4 Kgs is pretty good weight. It can be higher for a larger screen.

On the other hand, I really want to see cheap laptops that can be useful for small businesses. Linux powered POS and other business segments for mom and pop shops would be amazing. Most work is web based anyway, and Linux update cycles are so smooth that I recommend it to even mainstream users.
> In both of those examples, the displaced people are foreigners fleeing political / economic disasters (or just seeking a better life).

It didn't even seem to occur to the author that foreign people in circumstances like these examples would very likely have been enslaved in those times. I am not sure there was even any other possibility for them!?
I'd thought of the money one, hadn't thought about the possible signaling of "weird" beliefs.

The third point seems a little silly at first, but reflecting on my own musings on whether to go full Signal-only or not I guess I can imagine someone being iMessage only same as some people are Signal-only.

I deleted my then-active Facebook account at the end of 2023 without issue.

Last week I found out via an email about AI @ Meta that I still have an old account, which I don't have the password for, but still have access to the email address. I tried contacting support, and 8 days later, it's not going well.

I suspect similar. None of the AI stuff they have is particularly fantastic at the moment. I mean it's mostly used to suggest things which I am not interested and mix up cows and horses in Photos.

Working with OpenAI is interesting. That means they can cast their proposition off or replace it later. Even they know it's a massive risk.
Oh that makes it more clear, thanks!
