> My wife spends around an hour a day in the kitchen.

I don’t want to jump to conclusions about your life, but cooking meals for the whole family usually takes more than an hour a day if you are not just putting frozen pizza in the oven. I often spend twice as much. Maybe she’s very efficient. Maybe you don’t really know her.

> As it is now, I make more than enough for her to take care of the kids full time and still make progress toward our goals. Why wouldn't she take that deal?

I have already spent one year on parental leave and I can say with confidence that if you have passion for work and enjoy what you do, it is not a “deal”. It is sacrifice for your children and for your partner. All families are different. Maybe your wife enjoys working as housekeeper and fulltime mother and doesn’t really care if several years are taken from her career path elsewhere. Not everyone wants life like that. You say it yourself that the circumstances of your life pushed you into this split of responsibilities. Would you do it differently if your wife wanted to get back to work even if that meant less money? Would you let her pursue her passion?
You can convince bond buyers to endure negative real rates for a while, but not forever.
The real question for these third party services is whether each customer has a separate bank account. If there's one bank account per customer, and the third party service goes down, accessing the money probably isn't too bad. You can deal with the bank. They have regulators and obligations.
If it's one consolidated account, then it probably takes a bankruptcy court to untangle the mess.
AI artwork can definitely be more a distraction than a benefit for an article, especially if it's an image that you would never accept from a human artist.

For me personally, I tend to notice and obsess over an image's details when I see something's off. When AI art catches my attention this way, I end up going over it for a few minutes, which detracts from the time I have to read the actual article. In some cases, I just decide I've spent too much time and close the tab.

The image should be there to support your article, not distract from it. If you're going to use AI art, make sure it's indistinguishable from non-AI art.
The problem is when the law is vague regarding a particular issue. Look at Massachusetts v. EPA (2007).

The Clean Air Act (CAA) of 1963 requires the EPA to set emission standards for "any air pollutant" from motor vehicles or motor vehicle engines "which in his judgment cause[s], or contribute[s] to, air pollution which may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health or welfare."

The main question of that case was whether CO2 and other greenhouse gases are an "air pollutant" that causes "air pollution". Unsurprisingly, the CAA didn't specify each and every "air pollutant", rather Congress implicitly left it to the EPA.

So the problem was not whether Congress had explicitly delegated regulation to an administrative agency but whether the EPA was required by statute to regulate CO2 and other greenhouse gases.

Going forward, deference to the administrative agency is not required. The judiciary can certainly still side with an administrative agency. However, the courts will have to play a larger role in addressing technical statutory questions. The courts have always been able to disregard agency expertise (as SCOTUS just did), this just signals a greater willingness to do so.
But Red Box just turned off all their DVD kiosks, owing to their bankruptcy.

Surprisingly sad to see this go. It seems cool & low overhead & like an affordances that should be available. Even though I never use it.
Yeah, I was not talking about this case in particular. For example, various international treaties are often very vaguely formulated, which has the concequence that practical law making gets done in the courts (which is too undemocratic). I would prefer the judiciary in such cases to e.g. rule that the parliment needs to make clearer rules and until that happens, the court adjourns the legal case.

This would move both power and responsibility to the parliament from the courts, which IMO would be healtier for democracy long-term.
I don't mean globally, LoRA are at least in different domains. Artificial Neural Networks and Physical Neural Networks are both machine learning, discussion referring to both is highly probable, and the former far more established so it calling it an Analog Neural Network would never last long.
I heard third hand about some concerns that the FCC could get involved for Robocall/anti-Spam/Identity Theft/Identity Spoofing concerns and while most of the offenders are "little bad actors at the bottom", some of those concerns were that a possible starting place could be asking for stricter LLM safety precautions at the top. (An unlikely possible starting place, however, but stock markets trade on unlikelihoods all the time.)
Its impossible though to be unbiased.

And I reflectm on my own biases, thus this observation.

I've kept my neovim config, vscode, and zed configs in parity for a while now. To the point that the keybinds and behaviors are the same (or as simliar as they can be) across all three. In my personal experience zed is eating into the time I use vscode, but not really touching neovim as much. It really has come a long way, and I'm excited I'll be able to use it on my Linux machine without having to jump through hoops.
There is a term used in aviation called “hot and high” that describes an air field that is situated at a high altitude as well as having a warm ambient temperature. Hot air is less dense than cold air and higher elevation further reduces the density. It’s two lines on a performance graph that must be checked prior to takeoff.

For fixed wing aircraft, this means that your V2 speed (speed where you generate enough lift to begin climbing) is affected and you have to go faster in these conditions. This is overcome during cruise speeds because less air density is required for lift.

The story changes for helicopters, however. Because they generate lift via the rotary wings (rotors) only, they need to spin faster to get more air to hit the blade and thus produce lift. There is an upper RPM that it cannot pass due to physical limitations of the rotors assembly, engine, or both. If it gets hot enough, it can literally spin up to full speed and not move.

Helicopters freak me out. Fixed wing aircraft degrade to a glider should all power be lost, a helicopter becomes dead weight with deader occupants.
There are use cases where it doesn't matter, i.e. creative writing. Additionally, I don't think AI engineers have even figured out the path for LLMs to be hallucination free and extremely accurate. It's better to ship something that is not perfect (or even not great) now, and that way the industry gains experience and the tools slowly but surely get better.
I've switched to the built-in HTTP client in Jetbrains IDEs. The experience is a _little_ worse for one-off requests, but it's a lot nicer for things you do more often, and very easy to version control and include in a project.
Blind optimism
Gosh that's a lot of discussion!
This makes sense. I recently learned that VSCode is clever enough to automatically disable some features (which includes syntax highlighting among I guess other things) when it detects that the file is too big according to some heuristics (like probably, length of the longest line, or maybe just total size of the file).

So IMO I think vim is being "too dumb" here and should be able to adapt like VSCode does. But, meanwhile, if you want to test under equal conditions, you can disable VSCode's optimization by disabling this setting:

Editor: Large File Optimizations

Or directly in settings.json:

"editor.largeFileOptimizations": false

Yeah, I just can't get excited by anything this foundational that has monetization plans. While neovim is a pain to configure and will probably never be a polished "product", it's completely free to use, with no weird monetization features that might start out in good faith, but slowly creep into must-have parts of the software.

I'm perfectly willing to pay for some types of software, but for something as fundamental as my text editor, I want a model that doesn't depend on a company that needs money. That may sound a bit backward, as it otherwise depends on the goodwill of volunteer contributors, but that's the model I prefer and actually believe in.

Different parts of the system "age" at different rates. It also depends on what your software itself depends on.

If you want something to last a long time make it a library and ensure it has few, ideally no, dependencies outside your language's standard library. Keep it as hardware agnostic as possible or make it clear where the hardware specific portions need to be included and how they can be separated back out and replaced with minimal disruption to the rest of the system.

If you make an application, divide it into at least two parts: presentation and business logic. Presentation portions tend to age the worst so you want your business logic portion to be as library-like as possible.
> Chevron deference is the reason the US works at all.

Depends on your definition of "works". It is true that many agencies would find it much harder to fulfill their current functions. But many of those current functions are not things that should be done anyway, at least not by the government.

Also, the entire apparatus of the administrative state, with executive branch agencies issuing regulations that have the force of law, is arguably unconstitutional: Article I of the Constitutions say that all legislative power shall be vested in Congress, and does not allow Congress to delegate it. The justification given by the government, and accepted by the Supreme Court in Hampton Co. v. United States, was that it is ok for Congress to delegate lawmaking to executive branch agencies as long as it gives them an "intelligible principle" to guide them. That is one of many examples of Supreme Court decisions that have no recognizable basis in the Constitution.

Still, a gun's primary purpose is to kill, and that's what it does. But when you've fired the last round, don't bother reloading. Just toss it in the trash and buy a new one.

> You can’t freeze out white males simple because they are white males.

I agree with this. However, I have been working in tech for quite some time now, and I have not seen any place where white males have been frozen out of employment or funding. More typically, in my personal experience, they represent most of the staff and leadership and materially all of institutional funding recipients.

Perhaps my experience is atypical, or my definition of "frozen out" is different.
Yeah, it actually requires a lot of work on the posters' end because they choose to do all their discussions in the form of videos apparently.
But there are also things it can't do. For example connectors support posting messages to private channels. Power Automate only supports this if the message is posted on behalf of the workflow creator. Basically the persons name will always show up in the posted message. Not great for alerts and similar
> how do you get congress to write thousands of such laws yearly which will properly cover every potential outcome for decades?

You don't. You force Congress to obey the Constitution, and if that means the scope of the law has to be drastically scaled back so that Congress can manage it the way the Constitution says it's supposed to, good. We have far too many nanny state laws anyway that do much more harm than good.

> I used to think this way, then I got bored of hex editing in memory values of games I was playing to cheat.

One interesting difference here is that it's directly using the supplied game interface to exploit the game. And in a way, it's precisely following the game instructions, too -- ask clever questions to figure out what happened. So in some ways the game ends up feeling like a half-baked experience with poorly thought out boundaries, rather than me cheating.

That said, the instructions do say that I'm supposed to roleplay as Detective Sheerluck.

I do find it interesting that it's entirely up to me to keep the experience functioning. Very much the opposite to most games -- imagine a physics-based platformer where you shouldn't hold the jump button for too long or it'll break! But wait, the instructions for this hypothetical platformer say you're supposed to be in a realistic environment, and clearly jumping that high isn't realistic, so I must be cheating... or maybe the jump button just needs more work.

To be totally honest, I just looked up his Princeton email and asked lol. I told him we loved the book and would love to interview him about it. He was like “What? I haven’t thought about that book in 20 years. But I’m sure we could find something to talk about for an hour.” He was so amazingly kind and generous with his time.

He’s not the only author we’ve gotten on the podcast! We’ve already published our episode with Mark Richards on “Fundamentals of Software Architecture” but we also have in the can and ready to go over the next few weeks Neal Ford of “Fundamentals of Software Architecture” and John Ousterhout of “A Philosophy of Software Design.” That’s not public knowledge yet, so consider it an exclusive Hacker News comment section scoop, haha!

We also have some pretty big names we’re in talks with, but I won’t make any promises until the interviews are actually recorded. But we’ve been so thrilled at the author response so far and are super excited about the future of the podcast!

"Resilient" in the sense of keeping itself going, and the politicians who benefit from it in office, yes. That doesn't mean the government is actually doing a good job at what it's supposed to be doing according to the Constitution.

We the people, on the other hand, I think are indeed much more resilient than the "elites" give us credit for being.

Maybe I'm just old-fashioned, but I don't like Flatpak (or Snap or AppImage). They still don't seem to have solved all the desktop integration issues. I do not like running apps that bundle their own dependencies, because I don't trust the app developers to be on top of security issues. I trust Debian maintainers (despite mistakes in the past) to keep my system's base libraries up to date and patched. Why would I trust some random developers of some random app to do the same?
Yea, I've seen apps that required >= the latest OS version available! Totally unacceptable. From a marketing POV alone, why would you just close the door on a significant % of your market before they even look at the product?

When I had a job writing mobile apps, I tried to "fight the good fight" by keeping our minimum version as low as possible, but everyone up the chain from me pressured us to increase it, especially software engineering, because it was "too hard" to maintain backward compatibility with older versions. Even though maintaining compatibility usually just meant a handful of if statements.
