> there's a pretty big difference between "Next.js is too bloated, you should use HTMX" and "so and so group of people are all _____ and they should all be ________, and oh, your mom sucks".

Is there? Perhaps the trouble here is that your examples are too far apart to recognize how they compare?

What if Facebook, instead, said "Fat workers are too bloated, you should hire skinny workers"? Or if HN said "so and so projects are all ____ and they should all be ____, and oh, your vacuum doesn't suck".

I see no practical difference. It seems the only difference is that Facebook tends to talk about people, HN about tech. But that's not a significant distinction – aside from where your interests lie. Certainly tech-minded folks often find people to be uninteresting.

My point is that you could, given enough time and all the information available to you online about these well-documented buildings. You could learn CAD and figure out a reasonable way to output a 3D model, because you can think and reason spatially. The current batch of AI tools can regurgitate complex facts, but they can't actually think in 3D like an being that spends its life navigating physical spaces.

Maybe I'm wrong and we are well on our way to AI tools for this, but right now if I tell any of the current generation of image models to do something like "rotate object 70 degrees, tilt camera down 20 degrees and re-render" then what comes out is never even approximately close.
Yeah, I think people arguing about "they want 4 year degrees" and "they use professors as contacts" may be missing the forest for the trees.

Career fairs are a very effective advertising route (guaranteed real people, high chance people are developing in relevant fields, chance to network with future recruiting wings) on top of a way to try and get interns or junior level candidates. Especially small local businesses who have no chance attracting national talent.

To tell people that you aren't interested in I'm advertising (a business's favorite thing) paints a dire situation, reflecting how bad times really are. Especially in an area like SF

And as a fun little dystopia to end off on, there are many non-school career fairs companies go to in 2023/4 with no intention of even interviewing. A few will straight up tell you they aren't and just want to "bring brand awareness". Yay economy.
That's not true at all.

Our industry is swimming in auto-didacts, dropouts, bootcampers, and community college graduates. There's no licensure and most industry-adjacent academic programs spend a lot of time teaching concepts and abstractions far divorced from everyday industry needs. Committed tinkers who are ready to get their hands dirty and start learning the trade are historically very welcome.

However, the job market is upside down right now, because we had an insane hiring bubble that has since burst, leaving countless people with real work experience in the candidate pool for jobs at all levels.

In this kind of market, which we're used to seeing come and go, there's temporarily a lower-than-usual demand for candidates with less vetting, and so the auto-didacts/etc can expect to have a hard time getting attention for a bit.

A lack of interest in community college graduates is an ephemeral market state that we're familiar with seeing sometimes, and definitely not a structural detail of the industry.
because they solve a lot of math problems very well.
It's 100% true for everyone. You can't access anything at disney.com without making a copy of that thing. Disney can't access anything at yourdomain.whatever without making a copy of that thing.

Whatever crimes either of you can get away with using your copies is another matter entirely. Any rights you had under the legal system you had before AI haven't gone away, neither have the disadvantages you have against the wealthy.
The "washout" would work equally well if they were teaching non-BS.

And what do we teach people for 12 years before college? Is college the first time people learn how to learn?
From "Violation of Bell inequality by photon scattering on a two-level emitter" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40917761 ... From "Scientists show that there is indeed an 'entropy' of quantum entanglement" (2024) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40396001#40396211 :

> IIRC I read on Wikipedia one day that Bell's actually says there's like a 60% error rate?(!)

That was probably the "Bell test" article, which - IIUC - does indeed indicate that if you can read 62% of the photons you are likely to find a loophole-free violation.

What is the photon detection rate in this and other simulators?
I think you're confusing a legal point (whether a T&C really gives Facebook any particular legal right in court) with the moral question of whether or not people should just roll over for large companies because of language we all, Facebook included, know that nobody ever reads.

Even if FB's T&C made it clear they could do this (something I haven't seen proven), that at best means people would have a hard time suing as individuals. They can still get upset. They can still protest to the regulators and legislators whose job it is to keep these companies in line, and who create the legal context that gives a T&C document practical meaning.
I like to phrase it this way—in life, there’s a lot of bullshit. In college, there’s a lot of bullshit. If you can handle four years of bullshit in college, that’s a good sign.
When I speak to my friends, it's a conversation not wholly private - after all, I've shared whatever I'm saying with them - but it certainly isn't wholly public.

In all our conversations, we have and we understand there are degrees of privacy; that which we share with family, that with friends, that with strangers.

When I post on-line, I both expect and expected that my conversations would be between me and the group of people I conversed with. I knew who was reading, and I was fine to write whatever I was writing to that group.

I may be wrong, but I think this is generally how people feel, how they act, what they expect, how they are, as humans. We think about who we are writing to. It does not come naturally to imagine that third parties are listening in, or will listen in, in the decades to come.

This brings us to now, with a third party, reaching back over ten or fifteen years, for absolutely everyone, everywhere, taking copies of everything it can get access to, for its own use, whatever that may be.

I profoundly reject Microsoft, and Google, and all entities and companies which act in such ways, these smiling evils, with their friendly icons and bright colours, happy faces and hundred page T&Cs to utterly obscure and obliterate the truth of their actions.

Wifi would probably be the easiest. Either hide a dummy AP in the house or use a combination of multiple neighbors APs. If you don't see any beacon frames from the dummy SSID for a 30 second period then lock/shred the computer.

Denver has a downtown grid aligned to the SW-NE course of the South Platte, covering I suppose about a square mile, with the rest in a N-S E-W grid.
From what I've seen all of those deaths are from people ignoring his repeated warnings and advice in all of his materials. I do think some of those warnings were added after people died, but they are still doing things he has never done himself or told people to do.

No part of his method suggests hyperventilating or holding your breath immediately before, or while in the water- it is something done separately or beforehand, and he explicitly tells people not to do it.

I am also a freediver, and it is well known that hyperventilating before holding your breath is a deadly thing to do in the water, because it can cause blackout- and that seems to be what people are (incorrectly) doing here.
It’s much harder to regain muscle, though. Especially as you’re older. And if weight loss drugs are done without regard for diet (ie you just eat chips… but fewer chips), then muscle loss would be expected.
It just makes it less likely that these normal people will be able to see the other normal posts from other normal people. Early Facebook's Wall was like that, mostly just friends chatting with each other about cats and babies, but then the company purposely started to optimize the timeline for controversy instead and it all went downhill.

It's not that there aren't normal people on there, it's that organic feel-good posts have a harder time gaining traction vs the sea of flamebait and sponsored ads and astroturfed spam. The signal to noise ratio was very, very low by the time I left. I don't know how it is these days...
He also has his long and obnoxious obsession with x.com.

I am a much better "engineer" for having taken the advanced classes, but more to the point, I was a much better programmer for having taken the advanced classes.

The total amount of code I had written in my first two years of university was not very much; by the time I had taken some of the advanced courses I had written a lot more code and had thus become a better programmer (still not a good one, but better!). I had written probably 10x more code by the end of year 4 than the end of year 2 thanks to practicum courses, etc.
It goes with the perception of corporate greed. Boeing stocks have shot up, profits are not being shared, and those profits came at a cost of safety, and it isn't as if market share had not still declined against Airbus.

I wouldn't be surprised if a machinist used to be able to go home, proud of the work they have done, and now, it is not so.
404 Media mentioned on their podcast that pretty much every cybercrime investigation they do leads back to Telegram. Most of Telegram isn't even encrypted anyway. There's blatantly illegal groups operating in the open. It was inevitable that some prosecutor would go after them when they didn't even do the most basic moderation.
Finland has a model of high school alternate vocational programs. But standards and funding are so low it is mostly useless, places seem mostly day cares for students.

Applied science universities however are not as rigorous as traditional universities, but do offer suitable degrees with practise in actual software development with lighter load on pure computer science or advanced topics.
If ever there was an opportunity for apple to earn some easy goodwill, it would be opening accessibility features like this to other platforms. Keeping accessibility features locked to iphones only isn't good optics IMO.
Dang, free higher education? Where are these schools in LA? would make learning 3d modeling much easier.
The problem for old people is that it's hard to get bone and muscle, as most of them simple will not exercise.

Also stomach acid drops a lot in old people which makes protein digestion even harder.

In the ideal world, assuming GLP1 is not toxic long-term and that they can keep the weight off, people would exercise to regain muscle.

But if those people got obese in the 1st place, do you really think many of them will suddenly uptake exercise for more than a New Years resolution week or two?

Someone who is good at learning can just learn for free, only someone who is not confident in their abilities would pay for the name of a college attached to a degree (with likely less actual skills transferred, because paid colleges depend on throughput, not on results). The actually good students at paid colleges are the ones who got a academic scholarship, i.e. free like community college.
Like I just said, you do not download a revanced youtube apk. You download a revanced patcher that patches the APK on your device. Right now, the patcher gives each app the same id, but theoretically it could give a random string as the app id that is generated by the user at runtime while patching, so that would not work. Even if that were not the case, Google would not set up a script to download latest revanced to check the id. It's only a few steps away from being manual because it would not work for other projects or even for revanced itself if they changed the website's code or domain name. What I mean by solving a problem with automation is like how Google detects copyrighted music in youtube videos and sends the ad revenue to the copyright owners.[0] Having someone constantly fix a script that "automates" finding app ids does not meet that bar.

Why MACSEC isn't the default is pretty crazy! given that is is extremely stateless (encrypting at the frame level) and counters should be pretty reliable (only go up, since there's two parties) you could take advantages of some AES and GCM modes that would pretty quickly spot injection, replay, and other attacks.

But getting back to the main topic of the paper: why not just S2S IPSec the link?

Now the big question - was Baratza cool to deal with? I haven’t had too much interaction with them, but I replaced (they sold me) a controller board for my Vario-W for a reasonable price, as well as burrs and the drive. The machines are good for what they are, but their service (what they pride themselves on) is exceptional in my experience.

Off the top of my head, some of the things that have broken at an LTS transition that I've been involved with are out-of-tree kernel module builds, C code using OpenSSL, Puppet config, Salt config, RPM specfiles, Python code, Perl code, Apache configs, shell scripts, Java code, bootloader configs, bootstrap scripts, and init scripts/configs (esp. sysvinit to systemd). Any one of these things is not a problem in isolation, the problem is due to having to fix all of them all at once. Too much complexity put into any one of them (often arising from external requirements or rushed implementations) also makes migrating harder. Waiting until the 11th hour on the EOL clock just adds to the stress of the process.

Many of my bad experiences were because of corporate policies and lack of proper prioritization at levels above system administration. However, the sysadmin does have some choice in the matter, especially when greenfielding. You can turn stability into a vice if you're not careful.
> full petrol tank is the same, anything that is energy dense like that will have problems with uncontrolled release of that energy.

We are smarter than this. This is the reason to put the petrol tank in the back. In case of fire, the flames and heat will move back, in the opposite direction to the people in the car.

In this photos I see batteries shamelessly put in the front. This is a nice human barbecue. On a moving car, it means that a fire starting here would move backwards, to engulf directly the people in the car.

And, unlike a gasoline fire, this batteries are basically impossible to stop after they start burning. Not with conventional means.

I want electric cars, but designed to be safe electric cars, not this mess where anybody can turn their car into giant molotov cocktails and drive in the same road as me. Is not only their lives what they are risking.
> In many ways OF feels like a positive step because it allows the removal of toxic middlemen that stand between the model and their customer.

Wait, are you intentionally ignoring the fact that OF is the middleman? Because it definitely is, making about 1 billion dollars off of 5 billion dollars of transactions. Or are you saying OF is a "good non-toxic middleman".

The story of Wozniak is funny because he was a genius at putting together things like video and drive controllers out of discrete parts but he did not make the transition to the ASIC age.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Application-specific_integrate...

The 1977 trinity microcomputers used a lot of discrete logic and had an awful cost structure compared to further generations of computers like the TRS-80 Color Computer, VIC-20, C-64 that were build around ASIC. Apple had no idea that it was still going to be making the ][ in 1993 so it had a crash program to develop lemons like the /// and the Lisa, even the 68k Macintosh struggled. They added ASIC to the Apple //e in 1983 which they probably could have done in 1981 had they been taking the ][ as seriously as they should have. In an alternate timeline the //gs could have taken the place of the Macintosh.

For other founders stories I’d put out Mark Zuckerberg who might not have had what it took to make Facebook a going concern without the help of Sheryl Sandberg. Today he’s seen as making tone deaf and cringey decisions and you can debate whether he should be at the helm much like one can debate if Andy Warhol was a good artist or not.

I worked at another place where the investors seemed to believe our founder had a good vision (I did!) but they didn’t trust him in execution. Things were pretty disorganized, some in ways that were endemic to our “go to market” plan, but we did not get help, instead we got OKRs (“there is only one goal” [1]) and had our funding released in dribs and drabs which didn’t help us maintain direction. We had a genius at business development but amazingly the eng manager had no idea how long the system took to build, told me they were catching errors with monads in Scalia (they weren’t) and that they were doing code reviews (if they were wouldn’t they know they weren’t catching errors?), etc.

The workflow I'm trending towards is a design system (e.g. Radix UI) for the bulk of the styling, inline styles for most customizations (shouldn't be too many), and then plain CSS with classes on occasion (e.g. I have an override I need to use in multiple places or an animation). The little CSS you do need can be isolated if you're using a framework like Remix.

We're not in the business of testing I/O. We outsource whether or not I/O is correct that to the people writing the JVM.

Testing it as part of your test cases violates the "Test one thing and one thing exactly" principle. The goal is to reduce the surface area of the test as far as possible to distill what the author of the code wrote is correct.
In which case, you have to ask:

4. To criminalizing Telegram and causing the criminals to move to Matrix or Signal...

5. Which is encrypted, unable to be moderated, and just makes prosecutor's lives harder?

6. In which case, we've criminalized a service in the name of safety, stamped on freedoms, and only made the problem worse?
