> "One important thing you have to know about X" just feels like a click-bait headline. It also kind of assumes that i want to know one thing about X. Maybe i would rather know zero things. The "why" is left unadressed.

Agree that the phrasing feels a little clickbaity, but don't think it detracts too much.

There are scenarios that you can safely assume that someone does want to know about X — maybe you're presenting at a conference or giving a lecture; asked a "Tell us about a time when…" question in interview or, as in her example, you're giving a report about what your team did to senior managers.

My phone is an IP phone. It doesn't do SMS. Did you mean "mobile phone"?

I'm pretty sure that more people have an email address but no SMS capability, than have SMS but no email capability.
This is true, but your examples aren't directly trying to pretend they are the better alternatives for that. Apple is doing its best to paint itself as some golden company when reality dictates they are no better (if honestly worse in some categories).
AI feature development via CLI [open-source]
Started working on something to build complete multi-file changes via LLM and chose to write it as a CLI tool both for convenience and ability to compose feature builds via scripts and other tools.

It supports various providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Azure, Gemini), supplying both local and remote resources (defined by arguments and/or configuration file directives), and allows for feedback after initial implementation which is useful for troubleshooting issues in initial tack.

A few things I plan on adding soon include:
- Improved source mapping
- Hands-free voice mode
- Image processing
The messages inside of them, which are presumably not AI-generated, aren't however.
The backtrace code probably won't, as it'll be depending on the C calling convention to generate it. It's also possible assert() is just the function at the start or end of your text section, so any address that falls outside the range in that direction gets attributed to it, including values the stack walker incorrectly thinks are addresses.
I absolutely despise the phpboard type sites where you have to wade through 1000 low-quality replies [<= 1 2 3 ... 57 58 LAST => ] to find the meaningful ones.

HN is not perfect (breaks above several hundred replies), but it is pretty good.

I did kind of like slashdot's upvote-reason information. I thought it could have evolved better though. There could have been "browse serious answers" or "browse to entertain" to match them. That could be an answer to stack overflow's "death to discussion" kinds of things.

This sounds like a fallacy. Just because technology is helping humanity achieve incredible things (for profit), it doesn't mean it will be employed to make advancements in climate change prevention strategies (until it's too late?). It hasn't been until now, anyways.

"Mental health", motivation ("dopamine hit") and even incremental work all benefit the project, by helping them work consistently, and keep them focused - as opposed to coasting and doing not much, and/or getting burned out further. Some people have large inertia when it comes to doing things with delayed gratification (if at all), and ideas like this help.
Eh I see that amongst the IT world. But when I'm onsite at manufacturing businesses or industrial organizations it's all windows. Same with all the non-pro user but professional services I engage with like cafes or hotels.

MacOS is just a nightmare to run the basic infra these companies require. It often times doesn't even run the software that's required.

These industries don't want cloud apps. They want robust standalone systems than run for the better part of a decade with minimal inputs or maintenance. Apple and the cloud and working on vms or remote servers or using some web app is not that. Linux is also usually out of the question as setup and customisation is not something they want to pay for. They want apps they purchase and then install once, setup once and that's it.
This is why ad blockers are absolutely essential, and any browser vendor that says otherwise should be avoided at all costs.
I was replying to a comment which lamented the fact that people's pensions depend on the stock market. I brought up that the alternative - financing current pensioners directly from taxes or an "insurance" fees - also has some large drawbacks.

You are probably talking about Norway's sovereign wealth fund[0] (funded by oil revenues); the actual pension fund is only for government employees and structured almost exactly like any non-government pension fund.

There are of course many financing models that are some combination of the two, but these models have the exact same problem to the degree that they invest in the stock market. Also, there are very few countries in the world that invest their oil surplus as wisely as Norway. Most democracies would just use the funds to hand out election presents to their voters.

The lack of communities is why it seems unlikely. I remember several times successfully making my case and being unbanned!

Usually some friend of the admins was given power, they abused it, then you could go on a forum they hosted/make your case. People would chime in and so on

Children managed to "work from home" decades before the industry did

It wasn't a hassle, it was the point. Curate a community worth spending time in/with

I know a paper on this topic [1] whose take I really like: that AI generated works only become art through the eye of the artist.

In isolation a sunset is physics, photography is chemistry and AI is math. Without the artist there's no real difference between an AI song and playing /dev/random. Only through human interpretation do astronomy, chemistry and math turn into art.

Equalling "tangible contributions" to "git commits" is insanely reductionist. It works maybe if everything your org does - tickets, documentation, manuals, analyses, meeting transcripts, research notes, everything - lives in git, but otherwise, you're just asking to lower the quality of your org's organization and work culture for the sake of hitting made up KPIs.

To me it looks like that the free world and its NIMBYism tends to shift physical fabrication jobs out towards its edges. I've heard that Silicon Valley actually made tons of silicons half a century ago. Japan made rather high-performance CPUs as recent as until 2000s-2010s. Now there are lots more in South Korea, Malaysia/Singapore, East coast Mainland China, and of course Taiwan. Maybe in a decade or two we'll hear about Tibet or Nepalese fabs expanding into Afghanistan or Iran, or maybe something different altogether might happen before that.

(btw, Intel actually has a lot of production capacity in the US[1]. The US don't need Taiwan and SK intact for bare minimum survival in an unlikely event of a global thermonuclear war)

In my experience, recent versions work well for out-of-core computation (I use it frequently). What is the size of the Parquet file that you are using? - I can't find the details in you previous comments.
Correct. That's one reason why LiveATC has recordings of air traffic control radio calls from most countries, but not the UK.
I’ve noticed a similar phenomenon in the comments section on TikTok, and it gives me a tiny morsel of hope. It’s increasingly common to see people pointing out commenters that are likely either bots or users that are simply rage baiting. Yes it gets thrown around as an insult sometimes, but it’s often applied in situations where I think it’s correct too. It’s a tiny sign to me that discourse does shift and people are becoming more social media literate over time.
> Get while the gettin is good

Now more than ever, people may be wondering if the goose has already been killed, or whether there's any good getting left to get.

Not OP, but it's pretty tough right now to see a near future where _any_ income can be derived from applying my existing skills in a web/software related discipline, and the question of switching to a trade is a scary but potentially practical one. A year or more into having zero income, and I wish I had a fallback like flying for UPS tbh.

It was already hard to get in if one wasn't already in before 2023, now it's an existential crisis.

I would highly appreciate it if you'd let me know how you felt about this book. It could be anything from a simple thank you, pointing out a typo, mistakes in code snippets, which aspects of the book worked for you (or didn't!) and so on. Reader feedback is essential and especially so for self-published authors.

Happy learning :)
It is absolutely wild trying to make this point on HN. Art is for funsies while writing code for targeting ads is a Serious Job.
Good point. But the iPhone camera proves that you can get away with bad lighting conditions using post-processing. I think you can still make professional-looking video using just an iPhone.

It would be more than easy to write the exact same comment about MacOS, iOS, iPadOS, Windows $version and whatnot. From the dreadful state of the MacOS window manager via the randomly disconnecting 'magic' touchpad to the myriad of annoyances in Windows - which used to crash when you looked at it the wrong way but that problem has been mostly fixed - to the lobotomised experience of running iPadOS to the fancily decorated jail which is iOS which has the nasty tendency to crash and burn when iMessage receives something it doesn't like or the iDevice which needed to be held just so to receive a signal, need I continue? In reality:

- mouse support under Linux was a fait accompli on the first device I installed XFree86 on back in 1993, That was back in the time of serial mice with DB9 RS-232 connectors, more than 30 years ago. What you call 'smooth mouse support' is rather vague, if you mean acceleration and the likes that has been around almost as long. Want to use a mouse/trackpad/trackball/trackpoint/whatever with Linux? Plug it in and it will probably work just fine.

- proprietary drivers are the exception to the rule that Linux is free software. One well-known exception here is nVidia which still rides the fence. While this is far less than ideal the drivers they produce are not known for producing 'random crashes'. Random crashes in Linux-land tend to be related to hardware problems and would crash other operating systems as well.

- the 'mass market' does not need convincing to use Linux since they use it daily, mostly without knowing they do so. Most of them don't use it on 'the desktop' (well, those running Chromebooks do but they mostly don't know about it) but there is nothing really keeping them from doing so.

You're living in a fantasy where 'the desktop' is an ivory tower where only the anointed incorporated entities are welcomed. This has never been the case and that will remain true as long as the hardware is (or can be made to be) open. Go ahead and install a distribution, I suspect you'll be surprised just how 'ready' Linux is for the desktop unless you insist on it being a 1-on-1 clone of Windows or MacOS and insist on everything working exactly like those systems. It isn't and it doesn't, things works differently between those systems and between Linux distributions. Choose one which comes closest to your expectations - probably Gnome-based if you're in the Apple world, Mate or KDE-based if you're used to Windows - and give it a try. If you want to do so, that is. If you don't want to try it that's fine as well. In that case I do wonder where your adamant statements about 'smooth mouse support' and 'random crashes' come from though.
Has anybody here improved their day-to-day workflow with any kind of "implicit" generative AI rather than explicitly talking to an LLM?

I'm a full-stack developer with 10+ years of experience. I've done work for small startups to big tech firms like Microsoft. Most recently, I worked on a RAG based Gen AI application. I'm a passionate Software Engineer who believes in knowing the fundamentals of programming languages inside and out (mainly JavaScript) which allows you to pick up and learn any new framework/library. Lastly, I'm a strong team player looking to take on projects/tasks no matter how ambiguous and turn out exceptional user experiences!

Suno and friends, IMO, make good to acceptable songs. A few times per genre (for those they even can do, growling is still outside their capabilities). But, as with most things AI, it becomes very recognizable and same-y after a short time.
I've had similar times with DuckDB, it feels nicer to use on the surface but in terms of perf and actual function I've had a better experience with clickhouse-local.

Pre-kids and pre-getting-old, extremely easily and often much longer. Nowadays, rarely! ;-)

I agree with the author that time spent coding isn't a goal in its own right, any more than counting minutes spent at the gym. But if you thrive on programming, it's a net positive in your life, you're meeting your obligations, and you happen to spend large amounts of time doing it, fantastic - no one can complain! If you're putting in 12 hour days to please a boss, not get fired, or to compete with colleagues, you're playing a totally different and rather unfortunate ball game.
What, how so?
But what if my interpretation of 'engagement' (and 'content creation' while we're at it) excludes good faith?

The way I see it, 'content creation' is all about quantity not quality or having any message/goal.

And 'engagement' is about getting people to react emotionally (doesn't matter if positively or negatively) to get them to spam your 'content' to others.
Apple's move is interesting, despite being a lot more reserved than this article's fanboy take on the impact of the move. For me, it is at least another clear blow on the "AI is just hype" arguments I still see around here.

Repost from yesterday: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40635010
The problem is that there must be hundreds of ways to describe "a move" from the complete board state before and after to the distance that the piece moved (moving moving a bishop and queen 2 diagonally is the same move).

So while I agree that the notation is pretty arbitrary and puts lots of emphasis on how implicitly a move can be recorded I don't think it is fundamentally worse than any other definition. Yes, personally I would have picked something more directly tied to the game than if the notation requires more disambiguation, but I don't think it really makes the video any less interesting or the result and less useful (probably no use either way).
Why not use Bitwarden?

It's better in every single way.
Yeah it seems so, though most of these systems (e.g. Intel SGX, AMD SEV, NVIDIAs new tech) use the same basic building blocks (Apple itself isn't member of the confidential computing consortium but ARM is), for me it's the quality of the overall implementation and system that sets this apart. I'm also quite bullish about trusted computing, seems it gains significant momentum. I would like some technologies to be more open and e.g. allow you to control the whole stack and install your own root certificates / keys on a hardware platform, but even so I think it can provide many benefits. With Apple pushing this further into the mainstream I expect to see more adoption.

In Erlang to "just call the damn function" I'd write it something like

handle_cast(R=#message{type=increment}, S) -> work_module:increment(R, S);
handle_cast(R=#message{type=decrement}, S) -> work_module:decrement(R, S).

Or I'd use maps instead of records.

That's OK, someone else will have to fix it. If you're churning out a feature a day, then you're to valuable to do "bug fixes".
The idea behind that is that people usually don't run RHEL for fun, there is mostly a business need for that. Especially since there are distros like Alma Linux out there, which you can use with XPipe for free.
You might not finish a serious problem, but there isn't any problem where you can't check something in.

> And why do you think it's somehow better to have code behind a runtime branch (if) rather than a git branch?

1. It's a communication mechanism. Other people on your team should know what approaches you're exploring.

2. It is much easier to review small, incremental PRs than a massive PR dumped at the end of a project.

3. The lift from merge conflicts / integration work is less.

Controversial take ahead. If, as an artist, you don't want AI to eat your lunch, there's a simple solution: produce art that is better than AI.

It doesn't seem surprising that the AI band here is in the metal subgenre. Some metal is great, but there are also an awful lot of mediocre, repetitive tunes and ridiculous lyrics. It's not surprising that it's easy to imitate! It's not very good! "Old Gods of Atlantis"? AI or not, that's not a promising song title.

Show me some actual good art that AI has produced, then I'll worry for you.
