The problem is that the team doesn’t trust you (not you in particular). So everything needs to be discussed within at least some of the team members and your PM/EM. Meetings are for that (because it gets messy via chat only).

What might that look like in this situation? A user goes to play Spotify and it responds with “No” and shuts itself down? I generally agree with you that endless content consumption is a bad thing, but I also can’t envision a system where this is possible. It requires enough friction for the user to decide against continuing, which either comes in the form of a service providing less appealing content, making content more costly to consume, such as literally paying per song played, or services simply refusing to serve more content after a certain point. All of which are complete non-starters.

I’ve never heard of a pediatrician being read as a pedophile. Is this somehow specific to the UK spelling or UK culture?

There are cases where I’ve noticed British English speakers use truncated forms where Americans don’t. Like “uni” for university, or “veg” - is it the case that paediatricians/pediatricians are referred to as paedos/pedos and that causes ambiguity? That would be unfortunate.
This does not require standups.

You can have planning meetings but those are relatively short (<1hr) bi-weekly or monthly meetings.

And you can have an open coworking VC. I've not seen this formally in a corporate environment personally but I've sat in calls with friends at work for hours doing mostly the same thing (just informally). And in a formal capacity it's fairly common in open source project spaces. Their discords will have an open VC channel for "co-working" or working while on VC so they can occasionally chat, ask questions, or otherwise interact socially in a way you could while in an office setting.

The best part of coworking spaces is that they are optional. You join when you want and you deafen yourself or leave/DND when you don't want to be there and need to be undisturbed.

If you want to build a social fabric and get the team integrated, the way you do that is culture. Enforcing socialization isn't a good thing.

Don't make "Mandatory Fun". The only thing it breeds is a toxic work environment where people don't want to be there.
Some times, the writers don't want to repeat themselves because they were taught that it's "poor writing." And I'd agree, maybe, in (some) prose.

But in tech docs, please, repeat yourself instead of using "this", "that", "those", etc., even when perfectly non-ambiguous.

This should be preferred "The service is now ready. To check the service's status, ..." over this "The service is now ready. To check its status, ..."
Show HN: Full-text search for Squarespace sites
The built-in search functionality offered by Squarespace isn't so radically great. In fact I hardly ever manage to find anything when using it.

A friend of mine and I have built a replacement search you can add to your Squarespace site. It's still early days, but it works remarkably well! We have called the service Monocle Search.

We more than welcome any critical feedback you can give us! Honest, and kind, feedback is the best way of learning and improving our service after all!

I'd be more than happy to answer auxiliary questions too, if you have any, such as tech stack used, how it works behind the scenes, plans, etc.

Happy searching!

Oh, and there is a demo video, in case you do not have a Squarespace website to test it on yourself! The direct link to the video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0EsbS2wqHM

It seems like the author’s conception of medieval thinking is pervasive to this day with LLMs. Systems complex and “radically novel,” enough that most experienced programmers have a hard time discussing them without resorting to analogy and anthropomorphism.

I read this book called "How Big Things Get Done." I've seen my fair share of projects going haywire and I wanted to understand if we could do better.

The book identifies uniqueness bias as an important reason for why most big projects overrun. (*) In short, this bias leads planners to view their projects as unique, thereby disregarding valuable lessons from previous similar projects.

(*) The book compiles 16,000 big projects across different domains. 99.5% of those projects overrun their timeline or budget. Others reasons for slipping include optimism bias, not relying on the right anchor, and strategic misrepresentation.
Is it though? TB has native support for DisplayPort streams, but the article doesn't reference DisplayPort at all, and does make several other references:

> A decade ago, Intel showed off something very similar: a 10Gbit Ethernet-over-Thunderbolt demonstration called Thunderbolt Networking. This is a faster version, an Intel representative said via email. Thunderbolt Share uses up to a 20Gbps connection over Thunderbolt 4 with low latency

> Essentially, you’re performing a local, cabled version of Microsoft’s Remote Desktop without all of the setup.

I don't think there's any reason yet to believe that this isn't just a proprietary (or possibly even just embedded VNC) screen sharing solution that's tweaked for a high-bandwidth low latency connection.

macOS has a "high performance mode" for its regular screen sharing (as of v14, Sonoma) which works amazingly well even over wired Gigabit ethernet.
Uniqueness bias is definitely a problem (see also: This time is different!) and this paper's conclusions make a lot of intuitive sense. Less competent planners are more likely to see their situation as unique.

However, the measures to establish that perceived uniqueness != uniqueness seem a little bit limited to me. I've seen projects go belly-up because senior management refused to accept that the situation on the ground at one location was different to the usual situation in most other locations, leading to cost blow outs and project failures. I don't think the treatment in this article would pick that dynamic up.

So while it is true that exceptional engineering projects (paper's example - the Apollo project) are much more mundane than they might seem, it is also true that seemingly mundane projects can be unique and therefore it is difficult to compare with other projects of a similar nature.

According to Daily Sea Surface Temperature, North Atlantic [1] the temperature is indeed lower than last year, but it is still higher than it was before the record temperatures of 2023 and above the 2σ plus for the 1982-2011 mean. So, the cooling is rather relative if you take these figures. Maybe the article is referring to another measurement of the temperature of the Atlantic.

Cardinal does not load any external module binaries, the entire plugin is a single static binary. This is done on purpose for stability and resolving symbol conflicts within a single namespace. We believe this is the best way to operate an audio plugin.

There is an LV2/VST2/3/CLAP/JSFX plugin loader (Carla or Ildaeil) that can load audio plugins, but these don't sit directly in the Rack DSP graph and do not modify the Rack runtime like its modules do. You could load the VCV-Pro plugin and run it inside one of these if needed ;)

Don't start your company as open source. It will attract the wrong customers (the ones who don't give you money but sure like to complain) and detract from building your product. If you can build a successful product, open source it afterwards to give you a competitive advantage without being a drag.
This. Virtual coworking spaces are a great solution for people who work well that way and you can host virtual game nights or movie nights outside of working hours for people who want to participate but you can't make people socialize by wasting their time with pointless mandatory meetings.
They're not making the point about the military being state owned. They're making the point that the military is run almost identically to how a socialist state would be run.

It's absolutely not the only way that a military could be run, and many haven't, but is, presumably, the way that the military organisers consider it to be most effective.

Military equipment, in contrast, is not generally run in quite such a socialistic fashion though it's a long way from a capitalistic free market.
> Most programmers are incapable of writing a correct binary search

If you exclude the programmers who are incapable of writing FizzBuzz (who I would consider "not programmers", no matter what job title they managed to acquire), then I'm pretty sure your statement is false.

If you mean "could sit down and write one that worked the first time without testing", then yes, you could be write. But could not write one at all? I don't buy it.
> What we’ve got is an 85IQ generalist with unreliable savant capabilities, that can also talk to a million people at the same time without getting distracted. I don’t see how that isn’t absolutely a fundamental shift in capability.

Very shallow assessment, first of all it's not a generalist at all, it has zero concept of what it's talking about, secondly it gets confused easily unless you order it to keep context in memory, and thirdly it can't perform if it does not regularly swallow petabytes of human text.

I get your optimism but it's uninformed.

> it’s hard to argue that HJ isn’t an intelligent entity.

What's HJ? If it's not a human then it's extremely easy to argue that it's not an intelligent entity. We don't have intelligent machine entities, we have stochastic parrots and it's weird to pretend otherwise when the algorithms are well-known and it's very visible there's no self-optimization in there, there's no actual learning, there's only adjusting weights (and this is not what our actual neurons do btw), there's no motivation or self-drive to continue learning, there's barely anything that has been "taught" to combine segments of human speech and somehow that's a huge achievement. Sure.

> It’s not that we aren’t on the cusp of general intelligence, it’s that we have a distorted idea of how useful that should be.

Nah, we are on no cusp of general AGI at all. We're not even at 1%. Don't know about you but I have a very clear idea what would AGI look like and LLMs are nowhere near. Not even in the same ballpark.

It helps that I am not in the area and I don't feel the need to pat myself on the back that I have managed to achieve the next AI plateau which the area will not soon recover from.

> Heaven knows what harm a corpse might suffer from an unlicensed coffin.

This is just a willfully stupid argument. A good faith interpretation of this - in Louisiana, no less, where the water table is very close to the ground - is that the regulations are obviously there to protect the living from having corpses floating by during hurricane season, and not polluting local water tables.

The overall premise of this article isn't wrong, it's just written in the least unsympathetic possible way, like the guy in the supermarket line complaining that he got ticketed for parking in a handicapped spot because he was just running inside real quick, only for 15 minutes, hour tops, maybe three.
Oh, are you offended? Do you need a safe space? I thought you liked offensive comedy? Or is that just when it offends other people who aren’t you?

I never said I hated anyone. I just think these conservative talking points all rhyme with each other and when you trace them far enough they are all rooted in white supremacist ideas and misogyny.

Turning Red is only “woke” if you think people shouldn’t talk about going on your period because women are bad.

The Little Mermaid remake is only “woke” if you think Black people shouldn’t be the lead in movies.

Lightyear is only “woke” if you think people of the same gender shouldn’t kiss.

The list goes on and on. Literally none of these pro-offensive content people ever explain themselves in any way that makes sense beyond their hate for non-white people, women, and the LGBT community.

You literally criticized Disney for trying to please everyone. If they aren’t trying to please everyone, who are they supposed to sell tickets to, ghosts?

And this conservative cult gets in the way of understanding objective reality, like how you thought that Disney stock went down because of woke movies, when the financial reality of their stock decline had more to do with low Disney+ profitability and the Covid-19 collapse of theme park revenue.

When I was in grad school they were trying hard to recruit people for a program of understanding protein folding in terms of the molecular dynamics of the protein chain in water. It was a doomed effort because it became clear eventually that proteins get folded as much as they “fold” so the protein, by itself, may not contain all the information needed to understand the structure.
I use Sourcegraph for personal use with my private repos.

In the past, I've found actual bugs that I reported to Justin Dorfman and worked with him to get those bugs assigned to the right engineers so they got fixed before your enterprise customers can experience them.

1. Is there still a path for reporting issues now that the repo has gone private? The Github issue tracker can no longer be accessed or searched through to report bugs or figure out if a bug is known or being worked on.

2. Do you plan to get rid of "Sourcegraph Free" for on premise personal use?
> The Solution: No Toast

His solution ignores the undo component of the toast. Simply adding it back to the playlist is not a solution as that reorders it in the playlists. Instead, undo puts it back into the playlist where it was. When you have longer play lists, this becomes even more critical.

I'd much prefer a consistent way of interact than a bespoke unique way of using every UI component. Consistency and correctness versus creativity and confusion.
YouTube Watch Later Extractor
For some reason the YouTube Watch Later playlist is different from all other playlists, it cannot be accessed via the YouTube API. YouTube also does not have a way to search in playlists which annoyed me. So I made this tampermonkey script to export the Watch Later playlist to a JSON or CSV file.
I've often wondered if serial computers could have a useful role again. At very high clock speeds and wide data paths, you hear about trouble controlling signal skews. In contrast, imagine a serial computer clocking data around at 8 GHz vs. an 8-bit computer clocking data at 1 GHz. You have to deal with faster speeds, but no skew, and it seems like a 1-bit ALU might be simpler (and faster) than a 64-bit one.
I don't' think the article is focused on the temperature itself but rather the rate of change. During the time period referenced the speed of temperature change was fastest.

Show HN: Visual Sudoku solver in the browser
Hello!

I recently wanted to learn a bit about computer vision. Initially, I wanted to build something which could solve a jigsaw puzzle, but figured I should start with something (much) simpler, so I've built this instead.

This is a visual Sudoku solver which runs in the browser. It works by using OpenCV to identify and process the Sudoku grid, passing this to a simple ML model to identify the digits, and then solving the puzzle with a backtracking algorithm. The ML model was trained on the TMNIST data set using a model built with Keras, also a completely new area to me.

It's far from perfect, and doesn't like non perfectly lit or overly warped puzzles, but the main goal here was learning, which I did, a lot.

As this was primarily a learning project, I've tried to document my approach as much as possible, which can be found in this Python notebook:

https://github.com/Taiters/sudoku-solver/blob/main/notebooks...

I used Python while exploring OpenCV and training the models etc, and eventually ported this over to web (OpenCV.js + Tensorflow.js) to get something I could actually share with people.

Feel free to have a dig around the source or play around with the solver!

Github: https://github.com/Taiters/sudoku-solver
One reason why authors should self-publish is to prevent their books from being bowdlerized by the publisher in the future. You can't predict what will cause future "morality enforcers" to faint. Self publishing also means you can publish things that the current "sensitivity readers" (i.e. censors) would never let you publish.

Of course, this isn't foolproof because your descendants or heirs might also be willing to bowdlerize your work or even take it out of print altogether. So another option would be to just release all of your copyrighted works into the public domain upon your death allowing anybody who cares to publish uncensored copies.
That ties the app to be usable only with network access (which is fine for, e.g., Youtube, but not for all apps!), and also includes a highly variable lag.
