Copilot is just an autocomplete tool, it doesn’t have much support for multiturn prompting so it’s best used when you know exactly what code you want and just want it done quickly like implementing a well defined function to satisfy an interface or refactoring existing code to match an example you’ve already written out or prefilling boilerplate on a new file. For more complex work you need to use a chat interface where you can actually discuss the proposed changes with the model and edit and fork the conversation if necessary.

>"Only a few image-compression standards not using DCT exist today.”

I am only aware of JPEG, actually. Can anyone help me? PNG uses deflate and not DCT, TIFF supports sort of everything (JPEG is uncommon but possible) but generally no DCT is used, GIF uses some RLE but also not with a DCT, J2K also does not use a DCT, EXR can use Wavelet as well but no DCT I'm aware of.
I'd say because it's not a lubricant it's penetrating oil, anti rust, anti moisture (its original purpose).

And even when used as that most people I'd guess don't shake the can, a long shake, as required.

Companies use open-graph because it gives them something in return (nice integration in other products when linking to your site). That’s nice and all but outside of this niche use case there is no incentives for a semantic web from the point of view of publishers. You just make it simpler to crawl your website (something you cannot really monetize) instead of offering a strict API you can monetize to access structured data.
Ok, but why do you think you should be hired in that place though? :)
That sounds like a great way to end up with a dev team full of smooth talkers who you then later discover can't code their way out of a paper bag.

> without that representation, we have zero leverage to hold anyone responsible.

Few revolutions and progressive movements have had politics and media on their side.

Moral high ground, solidarity, economic disruption (strikes, protests etc), non-violent resistance, and armed resistance are all levers we can use...

Which is why we're seeing peaceful protesters mocked, savagely beaten, tear-gassed, jailed, called terrorists, and straight-up murdered. Armed resistance is almost unthinkable, given the entities being challenged, and yet, those who make peaceful revolution impossible...

I don't have all the solutions for this, but letting things keep going as they are is rapidly diminishing humanity's potential.
I have the same experience. I have my own benchmark, I take a relatively complex project like FreeSWITCH on github, which is part of the training set for all coding LLMs anyway so they should know it and I ask the AI to code small snippets, tests, suggestions and fixes to see how well it understands the codebase and the architecture.

I just tried the latest Cursor + Sonnet and it failed in every task. The problem is that there is no way to understand the code without either complete understanding of the domain and the intents or running it in some context.

Telecom and media domains in particular are well documented in specs and studied in forum discussions. I am sure they are part of the training data, because I can get most answers if asked directly. So far the LLMs fail to reason about anything useful for me.

Inflation of SaaS Development Services

Nah - the insulation material costs ~ $0.80/liter, whereas aluminium conductor costs $6.50/liter.

If you can have the conductor 1mm^2 thinner (capable of carrying less current for the same heat production) and the insulation 1mm^2 thicker (capable of handling a higher voltage) and transfer the same power, then you'd save money.

It only works up to a certain limit obviously - the relationship is non-linear and there is an optimal point.

The actual tradeoff involves a lot more modelling, because you need to consider all kinds of other factors, not just the costs of the conductor and insulator.
It's helpful here. From the title you would expect it to be retrospective a few years into the past. What makes this interesting is that the blog started this year, which seems rare.

Sometimes the person you're negotiating with has already decided to expand territory, and they use your goodwill as a tactic to extract benefits from you. The only thing that works is deterrence, and then to beat them in a war if they decide to fight it.

The obvious example is WW2, where appeasement backfired. The recent example is Ukraine, where the West appeased Putin in 2008 around Georgia, in 2014 around Eastern Ukraine, and again after he invaded in 2022 by slowrolling arms and placing restrictions on Ukraine.

This appeasement mindset is a failure of cognitive empathy. You as an individual can be reasoned with. The people around you can be reasoned with. So you can't imagine someone who is a ruthless empire builder. You extend the benefit of the doubt in places it shouldn't be extended. And in turn develop this naive worldview where war is always unnecessary. But this worldview can lead to more people getting killed.

Whenever I read “beautiful” in marketing copy, I’m immediately put off. It’s so presumptuous and conveys vanity. Moreover, users may prefer their software to be utilitarian, and in any case are likely to have different opinions on what constitutes “beauty”. For that aspect: Show, don’t tell. If people do find it beautiful, then they don’t need to be told. And if they don’t, then telling them is unlikely to change that.

I can kick you in the balls, and presume to know what you think.

I think you are really confused about theory and reality.

But if I give you a good faith excuse, often time we prescibe evil motives to more mundane human heuristics like "All my friends tell me great things about small business owners and as such, we should try to protect their ability to hire people".

See, some of us know how to properly understand the banality of evil.
A bit of a cynical take (on Hacker News no less) but after being in the industry for a while, my view is that the best definition of “level” is self-referential: it corresponds to the ability of a person to convince others that they are at that level.

I also have a definition of what I think level should ideally represent: the marginal contribution of a person’s influence on the outcome of a company, relative to the counterfactual situation where that person never worked there, adjusted for a specific threshold of risk tolerance.

In other words, you can consider two hypothetical futures for a company: one with a specific person and one without that person. You then have a probability distribution defined over the difference in outcomes. For someone at a very high level, the absolute area under this curve is large—they have a big impact on the company (whether positive or negative). For someone at a lower level, their impact is small.

Someone who is good at their job should hopefully lead to positive impact, but you can certainly adjust this for risk. Perhaps you bring in a CEO who has a 90% chance of tripling the company’s revenue/growth and a 10% chance of leading the company to failure. That might be acceptable for a hypergrowth startup. For a larger and more mature company, you might have a different risk profile.
worth the bother. "preview" on the capitalocenic web without any mention of the Link Relation Types does not a semantic web adoption make. no mention of the economic analysis and impact of monopoly, no intersectional analysis with #a11y.

if the "preview" link relation type is worth mentioning it's worth substantiating the claims about adoption. when did the big players adopt? why? what of the rest of the types and their relation to would-be "a.i." claims?

how would we write html differently and what capabilities would we expose more readily to driving by links, like carousels only if written with a11y in mind? how would our world-wild web look different if we wrote html like we know it? than only give big players a pass when we view source?

SCE certainly get logs of everything you run on it.
AC is a sine wave, of which the peak is a factor of Sqrt(2) higher than the DC voltage. That means your insulation needs to be sqrt(2) thicker - ie. 41% more insulation material.

On top of that, you also have losses to the cables capacitance with AC.

But DC has the cost of the conversion stations to consider - both capital cost and efficiency causing operational cost.
That's right. Sonic the Hedgehog on the Mega Drive is the goto example, where even the music runs slower.
The only really difference sometimes is in the manifest. If you target the webextension api and use the Mozilla poly fill library, your code base does not need to be duplicated at all.

It adds the benefit of being able to use all API calls in a promise based manner instead of needing to use callbacks.

Edit:

To give it a bit more context (although you can find that in other comments I left under this post).

The polyfill library itself: https://github.com/mozilla/webextension-polyfill

Which if included allows you to swap out `chrome` callback based calls for promise based `browser` calls.

So instead of using `chrome.extension.api.call(() => { // callback})` you do something like `await browser.extension.api.call()` with the same results working in both browsers.

Then the only thing where you still need some separation is for the manifest as some keys are Firefox specific and vice versa.

An example you can find here: https://github.com/toolbox-team/reddit-moderator-toolbox

Where all code lives in one directory and there is just two manifest files, one for chrome and firefox: https://github.com/toolbox-team/reddit-moderator-toolbox/tre...

Building is nothing more than rollup packaging the code and grabbing the right manifest to put in the build directory for each browser: https://github.com/toolbox-team/reddit-moderator-toolbox/blo...

Interesting take home assignment with lots of ways to solve it + technical conversation about the code + checking things like README + deployment steps and whether it even runs or not, I believe, would be very sufficient.

The idea anyway is to find someone capable for solving problems with a specific tech stack, be able to discuss ideas with other people amicably and write decent code.

I get the purpose of this from a design standpoint, but it's missing 3 important perspectives.

Mobile view: in the past 10 years, mobile has taken over most web traffic. These pretty desktop views are only seen by a small percentage now.

Heatmaps: all that UI looks pretty, but without correlating conversion rates they won't perform. I would like a "Show Us Your Heatmaps" collection. How visitors actually use these pages is usually disappointing to marketing managers and designers, but crucial to stakeholders.

Dynamic Design: one important use of machine learning and A/B/n testing is the ability to deliver tailored landing pages to viewer within different contexts. Aren't we already at the point where a mobile Twitter user could see a completely different UI than a desktop Google search visitor?

Given that Nubank uses it at the scale they operate, I doubt there are any issues with the language, but given its license (well, Nu bought Cognitect), I wouldn't consider using it, not to forget it's virtually impossible to hire Clojure developers as the interest in the language haven't grown much in the past years and it already had a very small community.

The immutable data structures seem very costly in the JVM, so basically you'd use it mainly for the power of abstraction. I'm a big fan of LISP and functional programming languages, but I have a hard time finding a good case to use Clojure, one could use Kotlin or other JVM langs and have a huge pool of great developers, and your code will be arguably more performant than from those built in Clojure.

It feels like it was just hype, people were hyped about immutability, Rich Hickey's personality etc, in reality we've faced the harsh reality that memory addresses and how the CPU works isn't in a immutable way, and the extra glue is very costly.

I've worked on some Clojure projects and as well most code looked like spaghetti, even if you'd take a look at projects developed by the core team from clojure, you'd find lots of code that is hard to comprehend, something that in other mainstream programming languages wouldn't take a genius to understand.

After using Lisp for a long time I started to believe it's a good language to write programs for myself, not to collaborate in a team.

Those are all my opinions though, interested to hear others.
With experience and full-stack development, everyone is becoming a solo, individual contributor. They only collaborate, when necessary, due to time constraints. This leads to developers becoming isolated and superior, making them special and different. They are the only ones who have built things, while others are just there to support them. I've seen this phenomenon in many companies, where senior developers are not bound by the 24-hour clock and are always available. This is the reality of progress, where individuals become so skilled that they are the only ones who can do certain tasks. However, I respect the competition, but having multiple senior developers in a product company can lead to conflicts. I don't why it is but it is everywhere and making things tough for others to take decisions where you are only at the quest of these such Sr Devs.
They have to be part of the same Slack workspace, but not necessarily the same organization.

There is a way to think about this that clears that very low bar, and so this level of discourse is not necessary.
