I've done that as a break, once. It was fun to sling boxes around for a month on outbound dock. Tune out, grab a box, scan a box, tote the box, scan the bin barcode, repeat.

Making bucks, getting exercise, working inside. The discount was nice, and I still use the comfy composite toe shoes when I need to do some heavy work.
In 2000 years, I wouldn't be surprised if no contemporary television managed to survive.

Maybe most everything doesn't deserve to survive. Future humans will be busy enough living their lives, to learn an ever growing history of long dead ancestors. For them, it'll be mildly interesting to know that something was invented one thousand or ten thousand or a hundred thousand years ago, maybe the name of a chosen few relevant persons that first did something. But a complete record of everything that ever happened? I don't think so.

Most TV and movies feel horriby dated in a few decades.

Actually, I watch TV and movies done now that seem horribly dated.

Curious about the idea of watermarking text.
How would one go about embedding a watermark in plain text without altering its readability?
Are there specific techniques or tools designed for this purpose?
To me it seems like a challenging task.
Given the simplicity of text what methods could ensure the watermark remains intact?
Perhaps there’s a way to subtly adjust character frequencies or patterns?
That said I'd love from good sources to delve.

Seeking Feedback on a New Tool to Automate Brag Sheets for Engineers
Hi HN,

I’m working on a new tool called bragsheet.io, designed to automate the creation of brag sheets for software engineers. For those unfamiliar, a brag sheet is a document where professionals track their accomplishments and contributions throughout the year, such as PRs, code reviews, documentation, presentations, and shout-outs on social media. These sheets are often used during performance reviews to highlight achievements and contributions.

I'm seeking feedback from the community to help shape the development of this tool. Your insights will be invaluable in ensuring it meets the needs of software engineers like you.

SURVEY LINK: https://forms.gle/6RY1a8TPKjvkdtDJ9

The survey should take about 5 minutes to complete. If you’d like to stay updated on the development of bragsheet.io or participate in beta testing, there’s an option to provide your email address at the beginning of the survey (completely optional).

Thank you for your time and feedback!

Best, Jeremy

> Personally, I'd argue there's a _lot_ more stability for someone in the modern West than a hunter/gatherer living on the plains. I'm not really sure what stability you're talking about in hunter gatherer societies, my understanding is that they generally existed on the edge of subsistence and would be absolutely mind boggled by amount of excess we enjoy today.

The hunter or the gatherer was not abandoned from the tribe/laid off/thrown on a PIP during a pregnancy for not finding enough fruits for the tribe CEO.
There might be some parallels with petroleum extraction. It would have seemed impossible to ban / regulate drilling even if the global warming in 100 years had been obvious.

So many good things made and personal fortunes generated by oil extraction; preventing those benefits would've seemed immoral.

Life extension is kind of like that, it's easy to say "someone will deal with potential problems later". A person only looking out for themselves and an altruist can both present an argument based on morality.

That doesn't make sense to me. Unless users are presented with alternatives, they will have no choice but to use the garbage they are given - nor will they be able to recognize how much better software can be.

Better software has to start with the programmers. We're the only ones who ACTUALLY know what the hardware is capable of, and the only ones capable of setting those new expectations. This is why we aimed the manifesto at programmers. It is not the user's fault.

Breaking my hand forced me to write all my code with AI for 2 months
I broke my hand while biking to work and could only type with my left hand. Somewhat surprisingly, I got much "better" at writing code with AI over 2 months, and I'm sticking with the new style even now that I'm out of a cast.

Full disclosure: I work at Anthropic, and this was some intense dogfooding haha.
Yes. To get redress I must pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees (try suing a company like Equifax or AT&T for less) and also provide detailed evidence of exactly what criminal organizations from all over the world have done with my data. Does this seem reasonable? If I fail to meet this standard does that really mean I wasn't harmed?

And does this standard apply the other direction? If I personally test the security of a company without permission, do they have to prove that I caused actual damage before I am punished? If the moral standard applies evenly, then I should be able to try opening the vault, and if I fail, no harm done. The bank must show actual harm before I am punished. But no, there is no even application of moral standards here; when it comes to individuals testing security the act itself is criminalized regardless of whether or not harm was done. It is even a felony to experiment with physical devices you own in many cases.
Unless the price of energy goes up globally because of political/commercial instability created by climate change ?

If we knew something that had all the perks of oil and none of the disadvantages, we would be all hooked on it. All clean energy are trade-off's compared to oil.

Solar ? Short lifespan, land occupation, requires mining, the sun does not always shine, not much energy so you need a lot
Wind ? Lifespan, much skill to build and to maintain, the wind does not always blow, not much energy so you need a lot
Nuclear ? Big upfront cost, need skilled workforce to build and maintain
Geothermal ? Big cost for not so much energy ?

All of those need a good grid too
Making strong assertions without any evidence or data to back it up is not "wisdom". I agree with other people: the author is simply burnt out by software (which is fine) and is jut YOLOing his code.

Yeah the scale of thermal energy contained in the earth makes this fear (prematurely cooling the earth) irrelevant. The entire global consumption of energy is less than 2% of earth's thermal heat flow from the core.
> One of those environments is a GUI which is naturally a good application for async. The other is not. Backend web development is still largely input -> process -> output. Node is just shoehorning JS in, and pretending that JavaScript's weaknesses are strengths.

Until you need to perform two or more IO operations at the same time (e.g. more than one of: database query, Redis query, HTTP request, file operation, etc). Then it becomes:

input -> Promise.all (or Promise.race, or Promise.allSettled, or Promise.any) -> output.

If you watch Ryan Dahl's original presentation introducing Node, you'll see that JS was explicitly chosen because of its asynchronous nature — it wasn't shoehorned in: https://youtu.be/EeYvFl7li9E?t=795&si=FG0yxaGoCgz1rqOX

> One downside of KANs is that they take longer per parameter to train—in part because they can’t take advantage of GPUs. But they need fewer parameters. Liu notes that even if KANs don’t replace giant CNNs and transformers for processing images and language, training time won’t be an issue at the smaller scale of many physics problems.

They don't even say that it might be possible to take advantage of GPUs in future. Reads like a fundamental problem with these.
Whatever floats your boat, but just to be clear my own language and virtual machine do have tests. The value of tests depends on the domain. Graphics and games benefit less from tests. My graphical text editor straddles the worlds.

Short term a lack of people can change attitude around immigration. As a wealthy country SK can definitely attract people if they choose to do so.

Long term, the people born each year are children of people who decided to have kids which is counter to the overall trend in the country. There’s huge selective pressure around deciding to have kids in modern societies.
Yeah. My first real job was at a restaurant and there was something totally zen about the work. It wasn't exactly turn off your brain but I would just be too busy to think for hours on end. Plus the people I worked with were all over the map but they were all a hell of a lot of fun to be with. You'd work a long shift and then hang out in the parking lot after drinking beer or go out to a party.

Ah... it's sad to say but I probably just miss being 20.
You are very hostile in this thread. The GP didn't say anywhere that it was ok for people to be uninsured. Neither did they say they were among the 55% figure.

Secondly, it's easy to find some official figures - [0]

From January through June 2023, among people of all ages, 7.4% were uninsured,
40.7% had public coverage, and 60.8% had private coverage at the time of
interview

And:

The percentage of adults who were uninsured decreased from 14.7% in 2019 to 10.7% in the first 6 months of 2023. Public coverage increased from 2019 (20.4%) through the first 6 months of 2023 (23.6%). No significant trend in private coverage was observed between 2019 (66.8%) and the first 6 months of 2023 (67.7%)

In other words, the majority of people in the US (> 90%) have insurance -- private, public, or both.

If anyone is interested in safely preserving food, the USDA provides the USDA's Complete Guide to Home Canning, which has recipes and canning guidance when using a pressure canner. Their current webpage is here:

https://www.nifa.usda.gov/about-nifa/blogs/usdas-complete-gu...

This page refers out to the National Center for Home Food Preservation, which is a web resource with similar guidance and recipes:

https://nchfp.uga.edu/

These recipes do include things like salsas. The point being is that safe canning practices have been well-studied, documented, and already paid for by tax payers. It's a good resource to use as opposed to just winging it.

Evolution can trivially happen within one generation. Just consider lactose tolerance. If it happens that the only source of food is milk for a substantial period, then anybody with lactose intolerance dies and the relevant genes can go from being rare to being 100% in the population.
Have you seen the artists who are celebrated today?

I stayed for the credits of a movie the other day and they listed all the musicians at the end. ~80% song attributions were formatted like:
`Song written by "unknown person". Performed by "Famous musical act"`. Maybe Warhol was like a proto version of being famous despite special talent, but it is almost all we get nowadays. I wonder if huge companies like Disney know that by distributing power (some people write, others perform, others do marketing, etc.) they can ensure they have final power and any artist can be replaced easily.

Virtually all event systems end up carrying auxilary event data of some form, so sum types are what you want regardless.
Redundancy isn't really a waste.
Yes, doing it that way sort of goes beyond the standard A* and becomes more of a "build your own custom pathfinder toolbox" where you can insert any additional considerations you have in your specific problem domain. Sort of like how you can add different factors to a loss function in machine learning (like trying to minimize non-zero parameter count for LASSO in addition to minimizing mean squared error).
Show HN: Blip – Incident Management Platform Built by Ex-FAANG Engineers
Hi HN,

We're Matt and Ken, former colleagues at Meta (Facebook), and we've just launched Blip, our take on incident management. After overseeing our share of outages across Meta, Amazon, Twitter, and Uber, we've distilled our experiences into a tool we wish we always had.

This is a self funded MVP, and we've been laser focused on speed and simplicity.

Tech stack:

- Backend: Go
- Frontend: HTMX
- Database: PostgreSQL
- Infrastructure: AWS

We'd love your feedback on the product, especially around the UI/UX and any features you feel are missing.

What sets us apart:

Speed: We're obsessed with reducing MTTR (Mean Time To Resolution)
Simplicity: UI is intentionally minimal, we're more comfortable in a *NIX shell and want our UI to reflect that.

Experience-driven design: Built to address real pain points we've faced in actual at scale outages.

We're here to answer any questions and would greatly appreciate your feedback!
Too early to tell. It's not useful as a primary monitor, but it's great as a secondary. In its current form, the frame rate is good but the latency is awful. This makes for a bad typing experience, but there are plenty of usecases where I don't need to type. And even in situations like a chat window, where low latency typing feedback is critical, I can just have the input text box on my LCD monitor and have the chat history on the Kindle since it's mostly static. It needs some work to get there tho, but for now, this is a good start.

Don’t know where you live but where I live there is simply no one born here willing to do the hard jobs: harvesting, kitchen cook, cleaning, construction, etc. Only immigrants. There is beging this a lack of workforces at all levels, it’s scary, even hair dressers can’t find people. And additionally population is aging fast, no one left to pay the pensions, 2 worker pay the pension of one retired person – which is not possible and hence pensions is the biggest deficit of the government. Immigration is a net positive here, but it scares people, because right extremists make it look scary with lies, like the one the triggered the riots in England recently.

I took it to mean that no manager ever thanked them. Because, like sibling comments, I can’t believe no one like myself and siblings ordered a burger and said “thank you”. Hundreds of customers at that counter everyday, someone had to have uttered those words. But management, OTOH…

(Alternatively, “no one” being defined as “the vast, vast majority of customers”. That I could believe.)

I think this is a very likely future, yes.
Warhol's true skill was arguably self-promotion, there aren't a lot of people who think he was particularly skilled as a classical artist — but he developed a look, talked to all the right people, and made a brand of himself in a time where it was a lot more rare to do so.

This stuff is also fairly pedestrian to our eyes now because of Warhol's influence, he was doing this in the 60s, decades before anyone could say "looks like a photoshop filter"

This is not bureaucracy, it is fraud. They sold it as a way to save the government money, claiming that private insurers could do it more efficiently than Medicare. And then what actually happened was it costs more, because they fraudulently gamed the system.
