"The technology just got mature enough that it's not exciting to write about, but it's still really widely used."

My money is on this. I think the simple usecase of async communication, with simple pub/sub messaging, is hugely useful and not too hard to use.

We (as a Dev community) have just gotten over event sourcing, complex networks and building for unnecessary scale. I.e. we're past the hype cycle.

My team uses NATS for Async pub/sub and synchronous request/response. It's a command driven model and we have a huge log table with all the messages we have sent. Schemas and usage of these messages are internal to our team, and are discarded from NATS after consumption. We do at-least-once delivery and message handlers are expected to be idempotent.

We have had one or two issues with misconfiguration in NATS resulting in message replay or missed messages, but largely it has been very successful. And we were a 3 person dev team.

It's the same thing as Kubernetes in my mind - it works well if you keep to the bare essentials and don't try to be clever.

Yes, and this trend is self-reinforcing since politicians generally do not actually receive any punishment for their bad behavior. At best the party slowly loses voters but that is over much longer timeframes than individual politician's careers - and meanwhile all other parties pull similar shit anyway because the short-term benefits incentivize that.
> Yes, but neither of those explains why we observe measurements to have single results.

IMO Everett is in fact the only interpretation that explains this quite clearly.

"Why do we observe measurements to have single results?"

"Because when you entangle with (an observable in a superposition), you enter a superposition. I.e., a mapping from states of you to states of (observable)"

People who don't believe it's possible for themselves to enter a superposition should ask themselves whether they believe atoms may, and whether they (themselves) are made of atoms.
This viewpoint is funny, because if you go to many places in Eastern Europe that Americans likely consider "behind", the infrastructure is far, far superior to anything in the US. In my experience, pretty much every developed country has better infrastructure than the US.
Thank you for your feedback. Appreciate that.
If I were going through the trouble of writing an adaptable, minimal μkernel, I would start with a capabilities-secure, efficient IPC, formally-verified one like seL4 and then build an NT-compatibility layer. This has a potential advantage of preventing entire classes of vulnerabilities. Finally, if going through such an exercise, might as well write 99.98% of it in Rust to also eliminate numerous traditional categories of frequently-encountered programming errors that oft repeat themselves.

The Holocaust was a human disgrace that should be taught in schools and written in stone to never be forgotten by anyone. Unfortunately Israel government agents, paid spindoctors and shills or simply brainwashed social drones, are abusing the word "antisemitism" (which itself is a disgrace as well) to paint as antisemitic, ie racist, anyone remotely criticizing Israel in order to damage their credibility. This is a well known tactics that however in the end will damage both the image of good Israeli citizens and the Holocaust memory itself.

> "You're not Google. Your company will never be Google."

I'm not sure people realize this now more than then. I was there back then and we surely knew we would never be Google hence we didn't need to "scale" the same way they did.

Nowadays every project I start begins with a meeting where is presented a document describing the architecture we are going to implement, using AWS of course, because "auto-scale" right?, and 9/10 it includes CloudFront, which is a CDN and I don't really understand why this app I am developing, which is basically an API gateway with some customization that made Ngnix slightly less than ideal (but still perfect for the job), and that averages to 5 rps needs a CDN in front of it... (or AWS or auto-scaling or AWS lambda, for that matter)

> If you say "repeat after me: [some string]" and the LLM responds: "[some string]", it hallucinated the string?

Yes it's always hallucinating. The hallucination just often happens to be the answer you were looking for.
The other answers around here are mostly right, but I'd like to add another one, which is right in some situations:

Message queues are often the wrong tool. Often you rather want something like RPC, and message queues were wrongly used as poor man's async DIY RPC.
Raw intelligence is of limited help when working in an area that requires lots of highly depreciating domain specific knowledge.

We are thrilled to introduce the new Syncfusion .NET MAUI Digital Gauge control in our most recent launch, 2024 Volume 2! This state-of-the-art control is designed to showcase alphanumeric and special characters in a sleek digital display format.

Web MIDI clock is still a mess AFAIK, so MIDI sync in the browser seems far away. This tool doesn't really have a concept of tempo so it would probably not benefit much from syncing (except maybe for receiving start/stop?)

But you can do a lot of things with MIDI notes, including using them to drive filters, etc. so you can totally use this to modify an existing piece on another MIDI instrument, live.

On the other hand, the E7-8890 v3 (the closest equivalent to a 14700K in core count at the time from a quick glance) had an MSRP of $7174.00[1].

So maybe I was a bit too high on the pricing earlier, but my point still stands that the computing horsepower we have such easy access to today was literal big time magic just a decade ago.

Yes, from what I know for a volcano we have a good geological model of what is going on, and reliable ways of measuring the relevant parameters. Still predicting an eruption is an achievement, and predicting the not eruption especially so.

For earthquakes we are lacking both in models and in measurements. We don't know whether there is "a process started" in the days before a quake. This paper is looking for one.

Speeding fines are often based on how much over the limit you are going, which is perfectly sensible given that reflects the danger and discourages petty over-enforcement of very low margin speeding.

I've seen this before. Someone starts a hobby project, and then creates this elaborate public website to try to make their hobby project look really serious and professional and important – maybe as a form of public daydreaming, maybe because marketing is more fun than actually writing code, maybe because they hope collaborators will flock to their project as result of said marketing.

Personally, I much prefer those hobby projects which focus on code instead of publicity.

As an iOS developer, that could definitely use this, I completely support you, in keeping it Android native.

I’m a believer in native software (I write native software). I think it results in much higher Quality user experience, than hybrid development.

There’s a reason that it’s not super-popular, though. It’s a fair bit more expensive than hybrid approaches, and generally requires a higher skill level, as well. Most companies find that hybrid approaches are “good enough,” and they make much better margins.

That said, you could probably test it, using the Xcode Simulator. It’s gotten pretty good with I/O, lately. Bluetooth still requires a physical device, but most of the stuff could probably be tested fine, if you used a modular approach (my preferred methodology).
agreed! you can afford hours of batteries but not days or weeks. after looking for quite a while i found this nrel report on utility-scale battery storage system cost: https://atb.nrel.gov/electricity/2023/utility-scale_battery_...

in theory, flow batteries and fuel cells could allow you to afford days or weeks of batteries, but the incentive to invest in those isn't there until the renewable transition is a lot further along. aluminum-air batteries are sort of like fuel cells that burn aluminum, which you could stockpile a lot of, and i think they could potentially be cheaper per watt than gas turbines. and iron-air batteries are another similar variant which can in fact be recharged

my intuition is that gas turbines have a much higher power density than steam turbines because the temperature difference is greater and you don't need an external boiler. but i don't know if that works out to a lower cost per peak watt. do you have any idea?
I think the magic word is: isomorphism!

An isomorphism is a way to relate two different sets such that each element is paired with exactly one in the other set such that it does not matter if you do operations before or after.

In my calculator the set of reals is isomorph to the set of complex numbers with imaginary part zero:

ℝ ⬄ { c | c ∈ ℂ and im(c) = 0 }

So I can coerce to complex numbers without impunity because of that isomporphism! And I know it is an isomorphism because if adding two reals then coercing to complex is the same as coercing first then adding.

TIL: In a way mathematics has types like programming languages.

I hope I am not too far off here. I didn't look up anything, this all went into my head this morning.

I'll consider this. I do tend to focus on the negative, and hurtful behavior.

I agree that the given evidence is weak, but I can still see that medical professionals believed that it's not pain that babies have. Maybe because it's not "proper" pain somehow, maybe because, circling back to the original argument, their consciousness is not there yet, so there might be pain but there's no suffering, maybe because they won't remember, therefore their experience is invalid.
Desensitization is also an issue that happens over time - the mind has to cope somehow.

These are not facts and I respect that there's no hard evidence regarding these things, pro or contra. This is just how the world comes across to me.

Ask HN: Coding Bootcamps vs. Self-Learning in 2024 – Which Is Better?
Hello HN community,

I've been wrestling with a decision about advancing my tech career and I would love to hear your thoughts and personal experiences. Given the evolving landscape of tech education, I'm torn between joining a coding bootcamp or taking the self-learning route.

1. For those of you who have attended coding bootcamps recently, what was your experience? Was it worth the investment in terms of time and money?

2. For the self-learners, what resources did you find most effective and how do you stay motivated and on track without a structured program?

3. Employers and seasoned developers in the community, how do you view bootcamp grads versus self-taught developers in terms of skills and readiness for real-world projects?

Your insights could be incredibly helpful, not just to me but to many others in a similar position. Thanks for sharing your experiences!
This is called "physical modelling". Creating sound from a physical simulation is popular for things like plucked strings, but it's very difficult for more complicated instruments like harmonicas
I’m not saying that this is the case, but all the mentioned behaviors are only indicators and could also be reflexive actions which the dog is genetically programmed to do because they work. If a beetle is flipped, it also has a “program” to get upright again, but that doesn’t mean it’s aware of its situation and is actively deciding something. I’m pretty sure dogs are conscious, but you can’t really tell from the outside. LLMs also appear to reason and make arguments but I wouldn’t call them conscious.

Saw this on their page:

"Unlike the NT™, system does not feature a separate Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) between the physical hardware and the rest of the OS. Instead, XT architecture integrates a hardware specific code with the kernel. The user mode is made up of subsystems and it has been designed to run applications written for many different types of operating systems. This allows us to implement any environment subsystem to support applications that are strictly written to the corresponding standard (eg. DOS, or POSIX)."

That's great, but…

https://pcisig.com/pci-express-6.0-specification "64 GT/s raw data rate and up to 256 GB/s via x16 configuration"

The symbol rate for 6.0 is only 32Gsym/s. So GT/s can't be symbol rate. (And the references to PCIe 6.0 putting it at "64 GT/s" seem to be far more common, and in particular the PCIe (4.0, newest I have access to) specification explicitly equates GT/s with data rate.

My takeaway (even before this discussion) is to avoid "GT/s" as much as possible since the unit is really not well defined.

(And, still, I don't even know if there is a definition of it anywhere. I can't find one. The PCIe spec uses it without defining it, but it is not a "textbook common" unit IMHO. If you are aware of an actual definition, or maybe even just a place¹ that can confirm the T is supposed to mean "transfer", I'd appreciate that!)

¹ yes I know wikipedia says that too, but their sources are… very questionable.

P.S.: I really don't even disagree with you, because ultimately I'm saying "GT/s is confusing and can be interpreted different ways". The links from each of us just straight up conflict with each other in their use of GT/s. Yours uses it for symbol rate, mine uses it for data rate. ⇒ why I try to avoid using this unit at all.
Tiny Teensy Executables
1. I use Jetbrains. I don't suppose experimental flags are supported there too?

2. A reasonable near-term goal could be to make changes in one file propagate across the code base, so it remains consistent. This requires analyzing the call graph, which is something Sourcegraph already knows how to do. The next step could be to execute multi-file refactors without specifying which files to modify; e.g., "add support for WebAuthn using our auth provider's SDK".

> Can you tell me what democratic deficiencies you see in this? Why is the process of having a prime minister/chancellor/etc as head of state fine in a national democratic process, but not on a european level?

Well for one because people already vode with the head of state in mind when choosing the party. Even if they were aware of the EU politicians of said party (which is never part of the campaign materials) then they now have even more things to compromise on with a single vote.

> If I see any issue with the way EU passes laws is with the terrible overhead of having three to four bodies that govern the whole process, from proposal to legislature, not necessarily with the way some participants get there.

Actually that's the EU's saving grace. The more people are affected by new legislation the more difficult and slower it should be to push that legislation through. The EU should be slow moving but instead we are constantly in a situation like this where bad laws are not far from being passed.

Yes. From my reading, they develop their own language anyway, which led to some rather horrific experimentation at times.

It makes sense to me, we're hardwired for language, it has been rather heavily selected for.
The autoscaling is nice because a lot of performance issues just get resolved without much meddling by the ops team, buying time for proper optimizations should it get out of hand.

The disadvantage is that people don't think hard about performance requirements anymore. Premature optimization is bad, but it's also a warning sign if a project has no clue whatsoever how intensely the system is going to be used.

Can't really compare a salary to bounties. With a salary, you can rely on the income.

If you have irregular income, you need to plan for a lot more since you'll always have slow months with no income, or customers that don't pay or pay much later than you expected, and you have a lot of costs that employees don't (eg. you need to pay for your own hardware, office space, accountant, tax advisor, health care, pensions, unemployment insurance, etc).
