I do and I do. I also don't like having to crush them over and over every day saying "not now, daddy has work..." Going into the office means I'm gone when I'm working, but when I'm with them I'm 100% with them. Days I do work from home and they're not in school can be rough for them.

Also, while I'm lucky enough to afford a whole room of my home as an office two little kids can still end up being quite loud and interruptive. It's nice having a dedicated space to have some quiet on my work schedule.

Plus, free gym for exercise, free tea/coffee, free AC/electricity, there's a free bike share if I drive in and want to ride through the nature preserve near the office or to the restaurants or other parks nearby, meetings in person when we're all right near each other seem easier, free car charging, etc. There's a lot of amenities in the office for me as well.

My commute is only like 2mi from home. It's a 15 minute bike ride. It's not like I'm spending a ton of time and money commuting. If there's something important for me to go to in regards of the kids it's not like I have to hop out for over an hour; the pediatrician is like 10min from the office, the library is closer than that, their school is across the street from the library, etc.

I get not everyone has great amenities, I understand some people have like half-hour commutes or worse. Everyone has their own math to do on if coming in is good or not. But it's not like having kids is instantly a remote work is better.

I feel this might be the case for software too.

1. Want a simpler application

2. Write it

3. Realize adding complex code that's weird can really boost performance

4. Repeat 3 until someone thinks your application is overcomplicated and makes a new one

I guess the moral here is that computers are complicated and trying to avoid complexity is hard or infeasible.

I like the comment that started with "way too many arm chair 'researchers' in this thread" and then goes on to rudely say that the maintainers are doing a bad job because they merged in the original changes by Jia Tan.

I mean, an LLM could cause you to get hit by a car if in the future it's driving a car! I can think of various ways an LLM could effect physical safety.

But I agree it's unclear what the headline authors were even thinking when they put it in the headline (which makes it hard to say if it's justified by the article although i suspect not), in part because the word in general is often being used in unclear ways.

While not exactly or necessarily "physical safety", I could see the dangers described by this other HN front-page article about AI-powered phishing as "safety". https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40981067

SEC regulation violations? As "safety" without an adjective, like "financial safety" or "regularatory safety" or something (and those would still be kind of weird)? Seems weird.
Since the posted thread has been locked since April, even if there’s new information it can’t be on the posted page. I suspect a lot of votes come from people thinking there’s significant new information (otherwise why would this suddenly be #1?) when there’s none.
Almost all education (think math) is taught in a linear fashion, teachers teach in an order because they exist in linear time, and textbooks are organized front to back, but learning should be more like a DAG (a tree) of dependencies.

We don't even need AI. I'd love to see something like Khan Academy mixed with space repetition and an DAG of knowledge dependencies. If you get a question wrong, the spaced repetition algorithm should present material about the underlying dependencies. Unfortunately, Khan Academy is focused on conforming to the linear paths (curriculums) that schools and universities have chosen.
That sounds a lot like their old Watson claims.
"Why bother burning yourself out working for a FAANG or F1000 when you could make more and be in control of your own destiny and happiness?"

Conditional social benefits are always a nightmare in practice. Look at the rules to qualify for that high school style test or prove that you actually achieve the milestone.

Assume they will be implemented by the most incompetent of bureaucrats (eg. months to get an appointment, buggy Oracle software).

Assume they will be implemented by the most nightmarish of your political opponents. Look for instance on rules for identification for voters in the southern USA. In theory that makes sense! In practice it's cynically implemented to systematically prevent certain demographics from voting.

The main advantage of UBI in practice is that it's no questions asked. Anything else about it can be replicated by fiddling with tax and welfare bracket numbers.
The last time I used irc, WeeChat was also my client of choice, having also migrated over from irssi.
My experience is that story points get a bad rep because they don't mean anything unless you use them as an explicit proxy for time. There's no way to say in reality "this task is small" unless you have some idea of how long it takes. Additonally, this concept of velocity makes no sense because a task that's big for me might be small for someone else in the team, so then we either pre-assign tasks and set points based on assignment (and then have problems if we switch the assignee for any reason), or we assign "generic points" and that ends up not meaning anything at all if the team is not very uniform (e.g. all seniors with similar skills and ownership of most of the same code, or all juniors).

Additonally, all methodologies tend to discourage correcting point values after the fact. That makes the process of deriving time estimates (velocity) even more error prone, because it conflates uncertainty with mistakes. That is, you can correctly estimate a task at 8 points and finish it in four weeks; or you can incorrectly estimate a task as 3 points and finish it in 4 weeks. That doesn't mean that the team has a velocity of about 1.35 points/week, it means it has a velocity of about 2 points/week, but made a mistake with one task.
Which on top of the fine, I imagine they wouldn't be thrilled to have a digging operation right by their house. The anonymous packages make perfect sense.
> With recent display roles (like grid, flex, contents, etc.) the HTML needed exclusively for layout problems is really minimized if not completely nonexistent.

I'm not talking strictly about _problems_ but about requirements/relationships. Flex/grid describe parent/child relationships between elements. They inherently couple styling with structure, so that you are sometimes forced to introduce tags for stylistic grouping.

> With `:has()` you can query "up" and "previous".

:has() is a lookahead.

Please correct me if I'm mistaken: But there are no selector rules that you can put on an element which looks up or at previous siblings that I know of.

The only CSS features that query up/previous are @media and @container rules.

I've been reading "the man who solved the market" about Jim Simons and his hedge fund Renaissance.

UBI can be mathematically equivalent to any other social welfare system. It's just a question of tax brackets and welfare brackets.
Ask HN: Am I the only one the has their iPhone apps always logging out?
Hey guys,

Any of you experience this? My iPhone apps keep logging me out of my accounts randomly, especially when I need them the most. And it's not some app in particular, it looks like any app that has some login mechanism falls victim to this. Why does it happen? It can't be intentional, can it? Why make things frustrating for users?
:has() is a lookahead. See my other comment.

As someone else said, author probably spent time in some toxic communities.

As long as they aren't my employer nor the things I am building are for them, IDGAF about what people think of my choices when building software.

The thing is, there is a massive difference between creating things for fun and creating things professionally. Programming used to be WAY more fun when I was teenager, but that does not have anything to do with the technologies or the web landscape.
As a more modern example, pdep & pext (BMI2) on Zen 2 and Zen 3 are extremely slow, even though they're technically supported. Thus any code wanting to actually use those for anything is essentially required to add a "But actually! If I'm running on Zen 2/3, pretend pdep/pext do not exist".

If you want every CPU to support every instruction without caring about perf, you could just have the OS emulate it on hitting illegal-instruction; perf isn't gonna be that different given that nothing would be using any of the potentially-slow instructions anyway and the ISA might as well not even have it in the first place. It just solves absolutely nothing to technically support everything.
> I'm actually surprised GitHub/Microsoft hasn't eaten their lunch yet.

It's not for lack of trying. GitHub are aggressively pursuing the enterprise market from a sales perspective but there's been three problems with their approach:

1. They're pushing SaaS over on-prem: enterprise services in general are trending this way, but it only really works when you're in a dominant position - like e.g. Atlassian - when you're competing it's going to leave you with less leverage with potential clients.

2. They're leaning very heavily on AI - this is a double-edged sword as it's currently selling well to clients as a pitch but anyone doing functional evaluations is looking at benchmarks & it's not really mature enough to deliver there.

3. They're iterating really slowly on their roadmap. This seems to be GitHub's (not Microsoft's) typical approach, which I'm honestly a big fan of, but when you're entering a market with existing mature players it's going to slow down sales.

I do think GitHub will ultimately take over - it'll just happen slower than expected.

Irrelevant, the motivations of middle managers and executives is not the broader economy. It's their companies results and/or they are perceived by their bosses.

The person I was responding to asked "what drives RTO?". Everything you said might be true, but it doesn't drive RTO. Yes, of course if you own a restaurant you want more foot traffic. But that's irrelevant for an office worker having his boss pushing RTO.

Cathy (from newspaper funny pages) would frequently use "ACK!" as an exclamation of distress/frustration.
What is relative complexity? How can you compare the complexity of <changing the colors of one button> with <implementing a sorting algorithm>, other than by how long they might take?
Quite true, unfortunately. But I think there are benefits that can be "feeled" almost instantly. I think problem is one of focus.

Lots of team leads don't focus on these solutions and their benefits but rather on the most recent technologies and their own benefits while ignoring (or accepting as inevitable) their costs. The longer you look in that direction, the harder it gets to see what you are missing or could get by looking elsewhere.

This is based off a biased and incorrect assumption that "any jurisdiction with uncaptured externalities dominates". It ignores miner advantages bred from more efficient governance where externalities are covered by clear regulations and proper enforcement. Any venture can be made to have negative externalities and Proof of Work doesn't lend itself to either more or less of those than most other industries.

I feel like treating UBI as a panacea has actually hindered its adoption, giving critics plenty of ammunition in the form of implementations that don’t quite live up to their proponents’ loftiest ambitions.

Can UBI transform society? Probably not! But why is that the bar? It can just be boring form of welfare that makes a lot of people’s lives easier. That’s still a good thing worth doing.

We'd evaluated GitLab a while back for a previous company before GitHub Actions was launched because the CI coming in with GitLab was very tempting. Since we were a small team working with contractors, we were looking for a monthly subscription and were pretty shocked at immediately being rebuffed and asked to book annually. Genuinely insane at the time how insistent they were that we should simply pay up front for an entire year of seats that were likely never going to be used. We just went with GitHub

Their extreme focus on enterprise is probably the reason for the low traction they're getting. Can't believe how much money they're leaving on the table because of some of their more bone headed decisions. Not sure if that ever changed
It's a state of mind thing, and I can easily fall into the same thing.

When I predominantly work at the office, I can kind of compartmentalize my working mindset to that place. When I leave, I'm done, finished, checked out. Laptop closed, in a bag (or even left at the office). It takes actual effort to return to that state.

When my office is just another room in the house, it's far easier to be stuck in that work mindset. The computer is all set up, it's just a quick password away to getting back exactly where you were when working. It's easy for me to think about a problem I was working on and easily slip back into it. Not so if I need to go grab my backpack, clear off a space for the work computer, hop back on, etc.

During COVID I was in a small apartment. My office was my living room. It felt like I was just always in the office, always working, never at home.

Real-time API usage-based monetization can work?
Hi all,

I am working on an API monetization platform: Sparkhub: https://sparkhub.sulu.sh

My idea is that users on the platform have a single API key and a wallet of prepaid credits. The credits can be used for any API on the platform. Requests are authenticated using the single API key (or multiple ones linked to the same wallet if the user choses to).

APIs can be priced per-call. API producers accumulate credits on their end that can be cashed-out at any point.

There are no subscriptions.

This leads to very interesting business models. Since each request is priced individually, you can modify the price depending on the request's contents or resources used. You can even implement things such as pricing as a function of volume of calls in a preceding period of time, or any other mathematical function.

I think it is also interesting from the point of view of AI Agents. An AI agent could access any API on the platform and pay only for what they use without having to open accounts/subscriptions on a wide variety of platforms, which would lead to a lot of friction.

These are just some ideas, would love to get feedback on the platform.

It can be accessed at https://sparkhub.sulu.sh and we are giving $10 USD in free credits to anyone that signs up to get initial feedback.

Show HN: Stupid Simple Games
>How can anyone compete against a trillion dollar company that's fine with subsidizing an unprofitable business line?

It sounds like impossible, but it's not always. Sometimes large companies loose the focus and become slow. There can be multiple competing products and teams are prevented from building the best product in order to not interfere more profitable business. Microsoft for example has both GitHub and Azure DevOps.

One example of how the infinite resources do not always help. Year ago GitHub decided not proceed with adding support for Python packages in GitHub packages.

UBI makes 0 sense if one can calculate properly. Almost no nation can be able fund it with current debts they have. It brings cost of Trillions to budget, not possible with more crazy rich tax. It would make rich move. Exc. Norway, Qatar, UAE and maybe few small others. Only possible in these ones because their wealth funds are by far biggest in the world per citizen already.
Weird that #Xen is listed #2, since:

1. After Freenode imploded, Xen officially moved to oftc.net

2. A couple of years ago, we then officially moved to Matrix

But then it looks like there are only 20 users in all the channels on the front page (including #Xen)? That seems rather low for the network which was meant to have taken over freenode.
