>what makes this new 911 engine so cool is.....they pasted in an electric engine

I think you missed the hybrid-electric turbocharger, that's the unique innovation here.

>A hybrid car shouldn't even need a transmission---the electric engine should in effect be the transmission

Is that your professional opinion as an automotive engineer?

>20 years later its beginning to look like a program which had an architecture already obsolete when it first came out, and which is only still working today by ever more baroque workarounds.

Motorcycles have been the same IC tech for 100 years and they're still selling like crazy, even expensive ones like Harleys and not electric motorbikes. Similarly to Harleys, I think Porsche knows its customer base. People will buy Porsches and Aston Martins and Ferraris, because they want to hear the vroom and the gear shifts. People who want a fast EV that sounds like a vacuum cleaner will just buy a Tesla anyway.
Don’t you think it’s obvious why we want regulation around consumptions of things that can genuinely bad for the population?

The shared context here is population health.

Factually incorrect. If Nvidia dropped TSMC, TSMC could still sell to apple, AMD and others. If TSMC dropped Nvidia, Nvidia would literally have no other options for cutting edge nodes.
> left a lasting impression on my view of corporate business culture.

No different than culture in general, is it? If you meet someone walking down the street, you're not likely to hound them to make sure everything is okay and if there is anything you can do to make their stroll better. You are bound to just naturally assume that because they are walking down the street that they are happy to be there and everything is good. You're apt to assume that unless they cry out for help, they don't need another thought.

But maybe they really do need help. You clearly did need the help, but as you kept showing up, there was no reason to think something was wrong in your case either.

Vacuous labels. A library provides access to texts; the idea of lending single texts serially just comes from the physical restrictions of physical books, which loses meaning with the electronic format.

A library lends books. There is little difference if the queue is respected when such queue is artificial.
Cite? I don't see how either of those could deal with the fact that the logits become uninformative and 'flattened' after the tuning. How can a sampler undo the erasure of information?
Well did they figure it out?
as someone who's living off of the tiny business income, there are plenty of opportunities to be found on the internets. some of these opportunities have a shorter shelf life than others, and that's okay; you can still make a killing before moving on to the next wave.

you probably won't start ranking as easily as you could have 10 or 20 years ago, and there is lots of competition these days — that's true.

That really should be illegal. They need to be forced to patch out the license check if they're going to shut down the server.
I'm with jwz on this - I had that exact experience.

Some autistic german guy (self described in his profile) rolled back an edit I'd made related to a local band known for its satirically serious take on things, quoting 'lack of citation'.

I had zero clue as to how some guy in Germany knew, let alone understood the band given their lack of context. It was then I noticed that wikipedia had gamified moderation because part of his profile showed off his 'moderation badges' or whatever they were.

Despite all that I still use it often enough that I overall like it, it just has its flaws like most things do.

I also found it funny that my attempt to be funny/clever on the internet was thwarted by someone who clearly had no idea what they were doing (other than gaming the system as part of their own self-identity), which kind of fits with the bands whole schtick.
> But at what point do we run out of training data?

We have at least another order of magnitude of additional data via audio-video. There also is synthetic data, such as was likely done for SORA. And we likely could increase that another few orders of magnitude if we had more universal sensors. Windows Recall is crazy for privacy reasons, but gathering feeds of data from everyone as they go about their lives, physical as well as digital provides much more room for training. You also need to take into account data-growth. How much more text data is generated daily, relative to how much has ever existed?

There also is probably another 1-2 orders of magnitude more data in private locations and also growing fast. Some of that can be captured via RAG. But even if a small fraction is used for fine-tuning, in aggregate that is a lot of GPU.
In general, the less code you have, the better.

Sadly, many products require sophisticated frontends, the FE is often a core part of the value proposition. React may be overkill in smaller cases, but it's a good tool in these cases of complex dynamic UIs.
Krita is geared towards illustrative work versus photo vs editing/product design. While it can do both, it misses or is behind in several areas

1. Photoshop has a much better template and smart referencing system

2. Photoshop has better photo retouching tools in the form of healing or switching working spaces to tune filters.

3. Photoshop has better image manipulation tools like warping and perspective correction

I do really like Krita, and I’ve replaced Photoshop use for illustrative use cases for several studios and individuals with it. So it really depends what you do, but Photoshop just has a lot of little and big things that add up which prevents me switching myself.
Large buildings almost always take a long time to build; nuclear reactors are large buildings. Authoritarianism allows outside reviews to be skipped, but it doesn't make concrete cure faster. And you've also got to build out grid connections and what not too, which isn't fast.

In theory, Small Modular Reactors are supposed to be something that can be built in a factory setting, and then installed at locations with a smaller construction project; if that works out, that's when you'd get faster construction times.
I would also add Zig to the list. I certainly hear about it often enough on HN.
If you're determined to find a reason to negatively judge genAI, you can find examples to fit that narrative.

DOJ's decision on whether to prosecute Boeing over two crashes a half decade ago
The concept of “annual paid monthly” subscriptions is similar to other services offering annual payments at a discounted rate compared to monthly subscriptions. However, the presentation can be somewhat deceptive. Adobe’s challenge lies in its relatively steep pricing, which may cause consumers to experience sticker shock upon seeing the total amount. A pricing model akin to JetBrains, with more reasonable options to individual, could potentially be more appealing to customers.
For the longest while, Adobe charged Canadians in USD despite having an entirely Canadian version of the site etc. It meant that the price of the software varied each month!
Again, “humans do fine” it’s in the context of societies with already regulations in place. Do you have an example of a society with no regulations where humans do indeed “do fine”?

> Rather, right now your arguments seem to be based on some idealized utopia with fancy assumptions - perfect liquidity in housing market without any friction of transaction costs, perfect society with ideal treatment of prison population, perfectly rich grad students who can buy housing etc. If such things were possible, other initiatives based on ideal human nature would have succeeded as well (eg. communism).

No, this is just a perfect solution fallacy. We don't need perfect liquidity, frictionless transactions, or rich grad students to make this work. We need no landlords and no speculative investment in housing: the rest will take care of itself, due to basic free market principles because that's massively increasing supply with a demand that's bound by population. And it doesn't have to happen perfectly, just well-enough. If you don't believe in supply and demand I'm not sure you have much grounds for accusing me of communism.

> I will flip your argument back to you - show me a place where the system is NOT designed to maintain real properties as investments.

I am truly confused how you think this is flipping my argument back at me.
>That is what they got sued for.

It is not. The judge ruled the CDL, their original system, was illegal, and the only mention of the period where they removed the limits was saying basically "as controlled digital lending was already illegal, the pandemic actions were also illegal."
average HN commenter: React is artificial complexity, you should be able to make any website using jQuery and plain HTML, because that's what I did when I last did front-end development in 2007.

also average HN commenter: If you use Python for your backend you're a moron, you need to use Rust so the API calls for your 0.5 requests/sec web app finish in 100ms instead of 125ms (note: 99ms is waiting for the database).
I have a custom frontend for GitHub using the GitHub API (https://github.com/fastai/ghapi/) and don't use mocks - I test using the real API. I've had very occasional, but not enough to ever cause any real issues.

I don't find mocks for this kind of thing very helpful, because what you're really testing for are things like changes to how an API changes over time -- you need real API calls to see this.
What kind of side channel exists if the behavior is: if password is required, zero length input is always invalid. This seems kind of like basic UX.

My wife is from Kiev. War is real.
The pcb on the card is just a charge pump that the display demands in order to regulate its voltage. If I shipped that off the card and onto the base, I'd need more contacts.

Those flat flex displays are awesome, though way pricier. Then I'd lose the nice stiff pcb board which allows all the contacts on the back to mate. I could go wireless, but then the power delivery needs to charge a capacitor and the delay between button press and display refresh will go to 30 seconds or beyond
Adobe has removed features from Premiere and Flash/Animate (those are the ones I know personally and have been pissed off at)
It doesn't make your getting a job harder. And even if it did, it's not your employer's responsibility to help you get another job. Do you think they should also be required to give you paid leave to go interview elsewhere? They shouldn't unreasonably hinder you, but they are under no obligation to help you go work elsewhere.

Also, no sane employer would be like "well this guy worked at a corporation that doesn't give references, guess I can't hire him." If you think that's how people who hire think, you must not hire. It isn't.

It would be a problem if a corporation gave references to some people and then declined to other times, because then it could be construed as negative, which is exactly why they have that policy.
This seems really cool. I've just been running into scenarios where this kind of durable execution is really helpful. I've been doing basic things with RabbitMQ plus a job server, but there are definitely limitations.

I'd love to hear from folks who have experience using things like Beam or Spark. I've if the biggest pain points I've encountered is that there are definitely dozens of "mature" products to solve this problem that all different slightly in their setup and tradeoffs
There's nothing.

Skydio exited the consumer market. Their drones had good autonomy and flight characteristics. However, they struggled with wireless link quality due to the use of consumer WiFi, and had much older, inferior camera sensors compared to even contemporary DJI drones. They were also ridiculously loud and inefficient. Their enterprise drones are comically expensive and loaded with nickel-and-dime cloud features.

Parrot drones struggle with the same issues as Skydio (Skydio actually used a Parrot remote controller for their consumer drones), plus their autonomy isn't nearly as good as even Skydio's, the overall drone behavior is "clunky" (slow boot times, slow connection times, non-responsive flight controls), and even basic flight is more challenging.

The main issues plaguing US consumer drones are imaging sensors and wireless link. LTE and other well-suited long range wireless technologies capable of handling speed differential between the station and access point are locked in a vault of patents. Imaging sensors are legendarily impossible to acquire in low to moderate quantities and image sensor parameters are carefully locked behind a billion levels of NDA (thus why even the Raspberry Pi camera is full of DRM).
Digital artists is a pretty wide term.

But if we’re limiting it to stuff like illustrations and texturing, it’s very capable. I’ve introduced it in several areas specifically for that.

Are you sure you read the article? The very first sentence of the article is, "Enshittification is the pattern of decreasing quality observed in online services and products[.]" (Emphasis added.) If the quality remains the same, or improves, it's by definition not decreasing, and therefore not enshitification. Furthermore, as other people pointed out, this is a reference to two sided marketplaces.

Just because there's a new buzzword, doesn't mean it applies. In fact, it usually doesn't.

If we go down this particular philosophical rabbit hole, you don't "own" anything. Stop making payments into the capitalist system we live under, and the bailiffs come and take away your car/house/possessions...

A perpetual license is not meaningfully distinct from ownership in the context of software - you don't "own" open source software either, just license it for the low, low cost of free.
> Sports and Video Games seemed so fake and trivial.

Agreed.

My inner armchair psychologist wants to ask, “what is fundamentally different between the treadmill and a hobby?” For me, I think it’s doing something that matters for the world. Hobbies on their own tend to be self-enriching (which is essential) while the notion of a treadmill is that you are accomplishing something greater than just yourself. If true, what we are all missing may be a sense of agency to effect meaningful change.
What about IKEA? It's smaller than Novo Nordisk, but they also use a non-profit parent company, which is admittedly a bit bizarre.

My experience interacting with Novo Nordisk is that, in their case, this model has led to massive inefficiencies.

The non-profit aspect has led to lots of internal politics and rigged hires. They are much more inefficient than a classical pharma.
My impression from the later responses was that they underestimated how often this particular pattern for parallel loading with React Suspense is used. The people that are slow to embrace the newer patterns would likely not have used Suspense at all, so nothing would have changed for them. This would have affected a specific subset of people that used Suspense for parallel loading, but didn't switch to route loaders.
Yes, I'm more in the continental mindset myself. To paraphrase Gene Wolfe, the meaning of life is life itself, not as a means to an end, but an end unto itself. Which is why I was originally curious about the why, assuming OP didn't take my curiosity as bad faith
Yup. It's important to note that while slavery was bad economically for the South as a whole, it was certainly good for the tiny minority of rich white elite.

Interestingly enough, a virulent white supremacist at the time [1] pointed this out, and the South banned his book. He hated black people, but at the same time made the economic analysis that slavery was a tool for white elite to oppress not just black people but also poor white people. He wanted to end slavery not to benefit blacks (he wanted to build a railroad to send black people to South America), but to benefit poorer whites.

Autodesk has this system with "credits". Seems hokey.
I don't read it as blaming the education system. In my mind it's an indictment of all the trends of the past 20 years in the public education system: austerity, lack of autonomy for teachers, heavy reliance on metrics and standardized testing to establish success. What we're getting now out the other end of that is a lack of critical thinking and a reduction in traits that can't be quantified like critical thinking.

Basically if our education system sucks, it's because we've spent 20 years cutting corners, cheaping out, over-relying on metrics, and enforcing top-down control over teaching and curriculum. No wonder it sucks. Our public policy has been to stamp the outliers out of the system and crush it into mediocre mush.

> "I call this enshittification, and it is a seemingly inevitable consequence arising from the combination of the ease of changing how a platform allocates value, combined with the nature of a "two sided market," where a platform sits between buyers and sellers, holding each hostage to the other, raking off an ever-larger share of the value that passes between them." (emphasis mine)

All I'm saying is that citing back to the original definition (which is talking about platforms) does not bolster the case that what Adobe is doing counts, because it plainly doesn't fall under that definition. Adobe is not running a two-sided market. For it to be enshittification you need to use a much more expansive definition. Which is fine, but in that case you can't cite the original definition!
Renewables evangelists are among the least trustworthy of all partisans. How is it possible that solar and wind are "10X more efficient at CO2 mitigation" when their low reliability drives us to regularly fire up natural gas plants to shore up their sagging production? With every cold snap, on every cloudy day, solar and wind create CO2 by relying on dirty backup. Nuclear does not.

There is no way that you can get to this "10X" figure without cynically ignoring this reality.

Unfortunately this is required by regulators in many countries. In Thailand you can't fly a drone without a license. You need to obtain the license before activating the drone and provide your information and the license number at time of activation (which is tied to drone serial number).

It sucks but it's the law here.
Jeremy, this is a great read, thank you! What do you think about the amended version from today that gives the FMD significantly greater authority on what would and would not be covered by the legislation? Any other specific recommendations for the legislation that would help protect open-source?

Edit to ask: Does it seem likely to you that one of the unintended consequences of the legislation as written is that companies like Meta will no longer open-source their models?

If your boss wants to be king of a shithole with his behaviour, he will be the only person in the company or the company will fire him.

If you leave the company and tell others how bad the boss is, they might follow you in leaving as well.

In my mind, the key value proposition of orchestration is that it is a solution for business processes where various parts have different owners. The fact that you need to tightly couple the logic for all your various states in DBOS sounds like it’s solving, at best, a partial part of the problem in my opinion.

any number of reasons: language barriers, existing American firms anti-competing, smaller domestic markets, less centralisation, and, yes, in some cases, regulation, but, when it comes down to it, it's better to have smaller firms that don't (or less frequently) damage society than larger firms than do, even just from the perspective of wealth distribution.
