> I've realized I can't "just ship" a product that relies on a hand-rolled user-authorization scheme that I create with very little experience.

Time to ship and get the experience :) It is probably not that bad as you think it is. You can also ask others if they see any obvious security/cryptography fails and you would do better than most including big companies...

> So now I've interrupted my whole project to learn Supabase and oh yeah, containers... because I've never used those either and as far as I can tell I'd better use those for deployment and scalability.

Please don't. Leave it for later if it is truly needed. You can ship without. Don't be lured to the clouds, they're too expensive and you will need to learn and change a lot.

Instead use VPSes and/or dedicated servers from cheap providers such as OVH/Hetzner. Just running your server app on a normal Linux VM is a way simpler than any cloud solution. It can also handle quite a lot, it might surprise you. And you wouldn't get insane invoices for 10-100x overpriced traffic that the clouds have and that kills many ideas even when it would make sense to do them in the cloud otherwise.
I was one of the first employees in a startup, and if I hadn't made compromises the company would probably not exist today. Your approach only works for big established companies where your team has limited impact on the results.

For small and medium sized companies you definitely need to make compromises. It is part of your job as a professional to make choices that leads to the best business outcome.

Unfortunately a lot of developers don't have a connection to the business side, because they are "protected" by several layers of management, PMs and designers that interact with the business on their behalf.

Getting a product out quickly means that you also get feedback earlier. This is not only good for business, but it is also an opportunity to evaluate your implementation to see if it matches your assumptions. In my experience this causes less stress compared to rolling out a "perfect" solution that has to be rewritten while under pressure.

My job as a developer at my current workplace is to reduce complexity and get the PM and designers to cut down their initial plans to a minimum. It makes arbitrary deadlines less stressful and any delays will not have the same impact.

Related to "I don't entirely understand what I just read, but I loved it" from the article - some time ago (I'd say it's been years now), there was a submission on HN (at least I believe I found it on HN, though I'm not 100% sure) about rules for critiquing art (again, I'm not 100% certain, but this is how I remember it). Unfortunately, I think I didn't finish the whole article, but at the start it said that if you want to critique art, you have to understand that:

1. There is art you love that is also actually good.
2. There is art you don't love but is actually good.
3. There is art you love that is actually bad.
4. There is art you don't love that is also actually bad.

If you know which article I'm talking about, please let me know. I've been trying to find it on and off for what seems like years now.
So what? They almost certainly have other sources of location data.

99% of google apps will harvest your personal data by default.

e.g. gboard will send google the name of the app you use their keyboard in every time it's used. the google dialer will send the phone number of every received call to google (for caller and spam ID). Google pay sends every transaction you make to google (including the date, merchant, amount, etc) If you use google photos with backup disabled, they will literally nag you every time you open the app, requesting that you sync their photos - and they use dark patterns to hinder your attempt to decline this.

No macOS does not.

The issue is the file system.

Apple file systems allow a file to have extended attributes or resource forks. Thus a file is not a simple stream of bytes.

When you copy a file to a file system (e.g. FAT) that does not understand these attributes macOS copies those to a ._ (I think if the file system was NTFS then you could probably convert them but I don't think anyone does)

Copying a file out of an Apple environment loses data (OK the data is metadata and usually no one cares)
But it's realistic that we watch movies online than in cinemas.

Hi hosh, you mention shared dream space, how do you know for certain the others are real dreamers and not just imagined, anticipated or dreamed ones by your own consciousness?

If they were real this would imply solid proof of ESP - which I think would be all over the news, or at least mentioned in the Noema magazine article by Claire Evans.
Is there a subculture of dream parapsychologists publishing this in underground channels I am not aware of? Are these hypothetical dream parapsychologists using scientific rigor and peer review I wonder? Or do people 'just know'?

You mention "procedurally generated" and the dream "sim" space pausing because of computation, I am working in IT and can't square that with with a dream space taking place in the mind.
The mind doesn't operate like a computer or has procedures that take so much time that the dream space is paused. My dreams do not pause. How do you know the pause itself is not your imagination of an imagined procedurally generated dream scene? The idea of perceived reality as computational simulation was popularized by the The Matrix, that this is a popular metaphor doesn't mean shared lucid dreaming are computed somehow.

Because of these questions I wondered if this comment is LLM generated or a kind of fantasy or metaphor. After reading your profile this doesn't seem to be the case, you are serious and generally knowledgable about matters of consciousness. I am puzzled.
Administrative work should probably not exceed 10% of the budget, especially in a small company, where the advantage is to have less requirements in that area.

Marketing and sales, it depends on what you sell to whom. Let’s say 10-20%.

Then there’s a grey area. Obviously there needs to be a feedback loop between clients, development and business. If the business/idea guy facilitates a lot of this and is mostly responsible to maintain the relationships, then he is part of development. So another 10-20% give or take.

That 50% number seems kind of fair. Ultimately it implies that both are putting in the same time and effort.

If the business guy is getting overwhelmed, the developer guy can automate things, talk to clients, write pretty documents for clients or take on some admin tasks.

If the developer guy is overwhelmed then the business guy can simplify requirements negotiate deadlines, do manual testing and feedback, organize tasks and so on.

What I‘m trying to say is that 50% might be more of a social contract rather than an a priori, objective assessment of value.

Isn't that around the top of the statistics no-nos list? Probability theory in general? Predicting individual result based on the whole sample base? It was long ago and I am not in this field at all but my recollection tells me that it was mentioned in the beginning of the first class of probability theory 101.
I tend to separate my frontend (Cloudflare Pages) from my backend (VPS/CapRover).
The reason of the apparent paradox:
a) in this case the model is a mixed model
b) second the variable are nominal so you have to select one of the pseudo R^2 models.
For more information:
(1) Pseudo R-squared: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudo-R-squared
(2) R squared for mixed models – the easy way https://ecologyforacrowdedplanet.wordpress.com/2013/08/27/r-...

c) The R^2 used with a linear model requires a constant term, in this case the constant term or bias explains a lot about preferences (almost 50/50) so there is less information available for the slope term.

Hope this helps.
ITER will "work" in the sense of achieving its goals, but that will all ultimately be pointless, as it's a dead end. A device with a volumetric power density 400x lower than a PWR cannot conceivably lead to a competitive energy source.
Not the best example of "just ship it". The thing about these productivity apps (TODO, habit tracking, spending tracking, journaling, workout planning etc.) is that lots of people have these ideas independently. You can't imagine how clever I felt when I thought of the idea of an app that helps you keep track of your expenses. Then I checked the Play Store. KRAZAM even made fun of it the "The Hustle" video 5 years ago.

Because there are plenty of people who just enjoy explaining things or helping others understand, and to say the only two reasons for that behavior is that their time is worthless or they have an agenda is myopic.
Its worth keeping this (from their readme) in mind though:

> However, at present SSHFS does not have any active, regular contributors, and there are a number of known issues (see the bugtracker).

Not that it is unusable or anything, it is still in widespread use, but I'd guess many assume it to be part of openssh and maintained with it, when it isn't.

An interesting alternative might be https://rclone.org/, which can speak SFTP and can mount all (of the many) protocols it speaks.

Which is annoying as I liked the NeXT file Manager.

Agreed on Dual Pane file managers though. I used them on Windows from Windows 3 onwards and various macOS ones except the writers of the macOS ones had nice early versions then decided to rewrite to provide memory hogs that stopped working - e.g. Cocoatech Pathfinder - It is simple just a file browser don't keep adding stuff.

> Compare energy spent on global hash rate to all energy spent by mining metals, physical banking, financial services middle persons, etc. if you want to talk about energy usage and make any kind of sense.

you're ending up with the entire rest of civilisation on the other side of that

* Bitcoin, 0.5% of all energy use: 7 transactions per second total worldwide

* THE ENTIRE REST OF CIVILISATION AND EVERYONE IN IT AND EVERYTHING THEY DO, 199x the energy use, really quite a lot more than 1,393 transactions per second worldwide, and all the other stuff civilisation does too

What an amazing comparison for you to suggest.
For most of your points it's may not will.

How many battery breaktroughs did we have before AI? They rarely lead to new batteries.

>AI/ML big datacenters are crucial for all the illneses we have which no one cares enough to solve.

Too bad that companies like OpenAI and MS buy most of the hardware for their data centers to write summaries of articles and emails and to create pictures.

And even if they find a cure, doesn't mean it will be available for people in need, not without a hefty fee.

Just look at the profit margin of insulin.
Most of our software is bland because it is about practicality and functionality. A UI should do a lot more things than to be expressive. Being expressive is very low on the list. Reliability, accessibility and recognisability are very high on that list. Expressiveness also tends to fight accessibility and recognisability.

This also goes for other design fields. As a (stupid) example: I can design all kinds of weird wonderful stairs in public places, that will give the place some charm. But the best one will be with a more boring ramp of with about 5degrees of incline, because that's the wheelchair-accessible one.
And so many of those programs were absolutely horrible.

I had a lot more homework than my peers and was expected to act more mature. Sorry, but we were all the same age as other kids - we didn't deserve a higher workload (as kids and teens) and we should have been expected to act our age.

It was pretty common to make fun of others for not keeping up well enough (struggling not allowed) or for appearing too smart (Not me, but a family member).

Some school systems completely separated gifted kids from 'regular' students. By high school, it was obvious that this created some issues communicating with a broader range of folks.

There is more than one way to make sure gifted kids get challenged - you don't necessarily need a special class for gifted kids.

And you'll need to provide proof for the last one. It is true that they do teach so that the test scores are good - and since funding and jobs are tied to that testing, other things are going to go down. This isn't really making content matching the lowest denominator, though.
Which then is the same with Apple's ._ files

Unix file systems are not sufficient, you need a layer on top.
Having the interests of the bottom line of the business in mind does not equate to sacrificing yourself.

In the README, it says:

> Important! Please don’t expect peak performance without fine-tuning the hyperparameters, such as the number of threads, kernel and block sizes, unless you are running it on a Ryzen 7700(X). More on this in the tutorial.

I think I'll need a TL;DR on what to change all these values to.

I have a Ryzen 7950X and as a first test I tried to only change NTHREADS to 32 in benchmark.c, but matmul.c performed worse than NumPy on my machine.

So I took a look at the other values present in the benchmark.c, but MC and NC are already calculated via the amount of threads (so these are probably already 'fine-tuned'?), and I couldn't really understand how KC = 1000 fits for the 7700(X) (the author's CPU) and how I'd need to adjust it for the 7950X (with the informations from the article).
This is why I call them the "least dubious" fusion effort. Sure, things have to break right for them to succeed, but at least they have a chance, unlike tokamaks.
Thanks for the link. I was motivated to write the post after reading Moffat’s book ‘Managing Gigabytes’. A pearl from the 90’s.

The authors mention this technique in the second edition.
You are likely not wrong.

Even though I do think that almost any profession can potentially find use for LLMs in some shape or form. My opinion is LLMs can increase productivity and be a net positive the way the Internet/search engines are if used correctly.

To expand on my original comment: All that being said, I think the hype/media cycle overestimates the magnitude of the potential positive LLM effect. You’ll see numbers like 5x, 10x, 100x increase in productivity thrown around. If I have to bet, I would say the likely increase is going to be in the 1x-1.5x range but not much greater.

Most things in the world are not infinitely exponential, even if they initially seem to be.

(Not sure why the downvotes.)
Yeah, this is probably the most overdone app category in the history of overdone app categories.

That's not to say that a new twist on it can't be successful (most successful things aren't entirely original), but if you're worrying about someone releasing their version earlier and beating you, just take a look around.
R (ρ) has also a nice property:

Oh but they don’t! Lots of German “performance” cars now have speakers under the car to make obnoxiously loud sounds. They can’t produce them naturally because the muffler regulations prohibit unfiltered exhausts - hence speakers.

AMG, Audi RS, M Power - they all do it.

> So replacing old infrastructure is now an investment?

Yes? What did you think it was, chopped liver?
> Why do you think that is inaccurate?

Not only is it inaccurate, it is insulting to the person teaching you. Have you never been on a popular HN thread where a known expert in the field, someone who’s more productive and knowledgeable than you, provides context? But somehow because they did you feel it justified to call their time worthless? Well, certainly I’d regret wasting my time on someone like that and I’d hope the other readers were more appreciative.

What the OP is calling a “better use of time” I’m reading “more selfish use of time”. Maybe, just maybe, the person spending their time teaching others doesn’t consider their time worthless, but they manage it better and thus have some moments to share their knowledge. Or maybe they enjoy doing so. This is not a hard concept for those not affected by such a superiority complex they claim there are others “beneath [them] in understanding”.

> which is why we can conceive of a universe physically identical lacking consciousness

I can conceive of it about as well as I can conceive of an identical universe lacking the Internet. Both seem like fairly direct logical contradictions, slightly disguised by referring to concepts that we generally think about more abstractly rather than their physical composition.
Cheap, but not necessarily good, expandable, or resilient.

Although, I can tell you what not to do: a 45 drive SAS/2 or /3 4U JBOD case takes way too much power to use all the time and uses screaming 1U fans and PSUs by default.

I do have 45 drives in various XFS on md raid10 arrays. Don't even mention ZoL ZFS because that was a fucking disaster of undocumented, under-tested, and SoL "support" for something that should only be used on a proper Sun box like a Thumper. XFS and md are fairly bulletproof.

Perhaps one can Ceph their way into significant storage with a crap ton of tiny DIY boxes, but it's going to be a pain to deploy and manage, take lots of space, and probably damn expensive to physically install, network, and provide UPS for.

You are missing the point too.

Driving too the cinema to watch a movie produces more CO2 than watch one movie online but online makes it more convenient so you watch more. That sums up to more CO2 emission.

The point is that higher efficency is wortless in terms of CO2 emissions if it leads to higher usage that compensates for the savings.

If a programmer can program faster with AI it's good if he only needs 1 hour instead of 8 but if he still programs 8 hours a day AI's energy consumption comes just on top of his previos consumption.

Climate change doesn't care how efficient you produce more CO2, more is simply more.
As you pointed out, there are many other map apps that target specific communities and use cases. It doesn't seem too surprising that google maps is designed primarily for the most common use case (the fastest route from current location to a specific destination).
Note that this is not because the iron there is ferromagnetic (iron loses its ferromagnetism at its Curie temperature, which is far below the temperature of the Earth's core) but because the iron there is liquid, and convection in the core, interacting with magnetic fields, induces electrical currents that generate the field, the "geodynamo". This process is highly nonlinear and not well understood.
Because of an article from 2014?
> And minimalist work ethic is a poor one, regardless of hand wavy, trumped up, rationalizations.

That's a very protestant work ethic worldview. Doing what is expected from what you're being paid in the best way possible is not a poor work ethic, it's a pretty rational one.

The other side of it where one always strive to do more, to go above and beyond what you're being compensated for, and so forth can also be a quite poor one. God is not going to give you extra points, for some people doing their best work at current expectations is good enough, no need to spend more energy than required on a job, there's more to life than working and accumulating.
That's a terrible question to ask in a full stack developer interview.
> This was even true in Star Trek. People could do literally anything on a holodeck and the writers still had them going to Risa for a holiday.

If anything, that was a failure of imagination on writers' part, somewhat rectified over time and subsequent shows. Even in the core shows (TNG, DS9, VOY), we've seen the holodeck used for recreation, dating, study, simulation, brainstorming, physical training, hand-to-hand combat training, marksmanship training, gaming out scenarios for dangerous missions, extreme sports, engineering, accident investigation, crime scene reconstruction, and a bunch of other things. Still, the show was about boldly going where no one has gone before - not about boldly staying glued to a virtual reality display - so this affected what was or wasn't shown.

Plus, it's not either/or. People went to Risa to have real sex (er, jamaharon) with real people, and lots of (both it and them). This wasn't shown on-screen, just heavily implied, as this is where Roddenberry's vision of liberated humanity clashed with what could be shown on daytime TV. Holo-sex was a thing too, but it was shown to be treated more like pornography today - people do it, don't talk much about it, but if you try to do it too often and/or with facsimile of people you know, everyone gets seriously creeped out.
HN possibly sent too much traffic their way, and someone, somewhere decided to require credentials for access perhaps? :-)
I believe the first, they're saying that it's about as likely to report being sexually assaulted on a plane as to die in a plane crash, which seems extraordinarily unlikely to be true, and if it IS true, it implies that planes are already safe places, safer than most other environments you'll be in.
