It's not empathy. Gay people (myself included) don't feel "empathized with" when we see gay people reflected in modern advertising. We feel targeted, and rightfully so - people are preying on the unintelligent reactionary masses that empathize with or want to empathize with queer identity. It is fully and wholly virtue signalling - queer media was better when it was an underground identity! At least then the concept wasn't being abused for brownie points by C-suite executives that profit off the manipulation of their audience.

On the flip side, the wanton "wokeness" of the right is equally abusive. Right wing grandstanders say exactly what their party wants to hear, absolve themselves of responsibility ("oh i'm anonymous" or "i don't believe this but it's my right to say it"), and then get thousands of unironic adherents that fully believe in their hyperbolic attention-seeking. It's the exact same mechanism on either side of the aisle, jerking off precisely the same insecurities for almost exactly the same reason.

At some indeterminate point in the future, all Americans will end up being conservative. Not because it's the right choice, but because the way politics are headed nobody will be encouraged to think outside marketing and empty platitudes. We already spend more time defending our echo chambers than we spend engaging with policy.
Multiple comments here talking about how Zuck doesn't care about the team. That is not my read at all. He specifically says that he wants to both fix the team and ship the product. What he does have a problem with is the sole focus on the team (aka fixing the team as the milestone on its own) while the company is losing its competitive advantage. That feels like a pretty reasonable stance from a "wartime" CEO [0]. A healthy team in a failing company is not an outcome to strive for.

HP is not your grandfather's HP. When the HP board of director foolishly ignored the HP Way to promote from within and hired on Carleton Fiorina as CEO the company changed the same way cancer changes a person's body.

That's a moral argument, one with a certain ideloogy that isn't shared by most people rightly or wrongly. Especially if AI only replaces certain industries which it looks like to be the more likely option. Even if it is, I don't think it is shared by the people investing in AI unless someone else (i.e. taxpayers) will pay for it. Socialise the losses (loss of income), privatise the profits (efficiency gains). Makes me think the AI proponents are a little hypocritical. Taxpayers may not to afford that in many countries, that's reality. For software workers we need to note only the US mostly has been paid well, many more software workers worldwide don't have the luxury/pay to afford that altruism. I don't think it's wrong for people who have to skill up to want some compensation for that, there is other moral imperatives that require making a living.

On a nicer planet sure, we would have a system like that. But most of the planet is not like that - the great advantage of the status quo is that even people who are naturally not altruistic somewhat co-operate with each other due to mutual need. Besides there is ways to mitigate that and still give the required services especially if they are commonly required. The doctors example - certain countries have worked it out without resorting to AI risks. I'm not against AI ironically in this case either, there is a massive shortage of doctors services that can absorb the increased abundance Imv - most people don't put software in the same category. There is bad sides to humanity with regards to losing our mutual dependence on each other as well (community, valuing the life of others, etc) - I think sadly AI allows for many more negatives than simply withholding skills for money if not managed right, even that doesn't happen everywhere today and is a easier problem to solve. The loss of any safe intelligent jobs for climbing and evening out social mobility due to mutual dependence of skills (even the rich can't learn everything and so need to outsource) is one of them.
> It’s a very bright looking future for it.

Err... At Google? After laying off the core maintainers? Not bright at all.
I have, many many times, seen a large organization "crash" a project, that is to say put a bunch of new developers into it. It almost never works. The first thing that happens is that everything stops, while the existing devs tell the new ones what is going on and what needs to be done.

The second reason it doesn't work is that splitting the app into separate parts that can be worked on in parallel, is essentially determining the software architecture. If you haven't sorted that out then the different parts will get built, not work together, and then there will be a sh*%storm of blaming each other for why they don't work together.

There are cases where new devs can help, but if you don't have the overall architecture sorted out yet, then they will not, and if you do then there is a finite pace at which new devs can be integrated and brought up to speed.

The old analogy to pregnancy is, in fact, spot on.
I strongly second this. When I got back into reading I was also struck by how much deeper the stories and characters are, even compared to excellent TV shows or longform articles.
Probably because it isn't really built for that. It's a word soup generator, and not a technical database.

For this kind of task, you probably want a model that has specifically been trained on every product datasheet ever, and not ten million reddit threads and forum posts about how a 555 or 328p can solve any problem.

I doubt that chatgpt has been fed every datasheet for every part made in the last decade or two. Even if it had, that's likely far outweighed by the amout of noise coming from people talking about the most common parts.

But fundamentally I'm not sure that LLMs are great for this type of work. No two datasheets are the same and I've never seen one that wasn't missing some kind of information. What you very much do not want is an LLM hallucinating a value that does not actually exist in the datasheet. Or have it conflate two parts and mix up their values. These models just don't seem to be up to the task of returning real information from abstract queries. They're just meant to generate probabilistic text sequences.
I don't agree, but past "this is a question worth taking seriously" I don't feel committed to litigating it; reasonable people can disagree!

> by switching to a non source-based distribution such as Debian.

The distinction has more nuance. Source based distros like nixos don't have the same issue. The problem is more in how Gentoo builds/installs the packages than in building from source.

Also with third party closed source software, you're still going to have issues, even on binary systems. Actually you could even have issues with the first party packages if they're installed in separate independent steps.
But like an IMU, doesn’t this need occasional calibration with a known location source?

As I remember, there weren't good photo apps back then, and there were just a few good apps on Facebook, which was concerning, while Instagram was just becoming popular. Apparently, the managers were siphoning money from Facebook and sabotaging the work. My app was called InstaGo and offered filters like Instagram. I think it would have quickly become popular and reached the top and I would have met a lot of interesting people. Of course, the Facebook managers could have just copied it if there were no connections with the leadership. But I believe that in those days, it was still possible to reach out to someone in Facebook's leadership through Facebook

I've definitely seen the same at other big companies.

I've wondered where the line is; what's the point at which the company grows too much and regresses to this sort of mess of needing to get bureaucratic consensus? Purely experientially, it seems to be at around the 40-50 people person mark.

I used to think it was an active founder/CEO that couldn't direct things anymore, but that happens at maybe 20-30 people, so that's not it.

Yeah, it seems super bad when you get even just below the surface of general theory. It's not too bad at showing you how e.g. a low pass filter is calculated, but it doesn't do well at actually running the calculations.

Technically, acceleration is movement in an inertial system... Anyway, I was wondering for a long time, why phones/watched don't attempt to do it (at least, I never saw useful results of it). Surely it would be more useful to me than nothing, when lost in a labyrinth underground. I always assumed, that results are so horrible (close to random) that nobody even bothers. But then it doesn't tell me much if there is an accelerometer 1000 or 1M times more accurate, in a shoe-box or otherwise. Like, how often does it have to re-calibrate after all?

Are there any records of how currently available consumer devices measure up in this regard?

I've been dying to go back to a few buttons here on Android 14.

All there is on Pixel is Lock/Vol, and then rest is gestures.

There's at least one full screen app I use a lot, that makes task-switch really perilous. I swipe the bottom about 5 times before the handle appears, and the full screen app always receives breakthrough gestures that ruin its state.

"Back" is fine; I'm fine with that gesture and it works 99%. However, there are apps such as Maps that lead into a maddening labyrinth of "back, back, back" to where I am screaming for a Home button! There's no "Home" gesture. Let's have an easy reset to sanity.

I think the GP post meant that EU only wants to regulate tech if it's American.
Inertial navigation can be paired with GPS (and friends), terrain recognition, etc. to keep it accurate, and it can be used to detect jamming attacks on GPS. You can even use fairly low accuracy IMUs to detect jamming attacks on GPS, so it's certainly worth using.

With enough accuracy the frequency at which an IMU needs to be recalibrated with GPS or other systems can be low enough that a ship need only do it when at port, or a plane need only do it when parked or at an airport gate. I.e., at places where differential GPS can be available and/or where location can be known statically since the location only changes due to continental drift (i.e., very slowly).

Educating regular people and getting them to care is really, really hard. I can't tell you how often I hear the silly trope, "I have nothing to hide, so who cares if company X tracks everything I do?" Until companies do something to tangibly - not just abstractly - hurt people, they really don't care at all if they're the frog in the pot of water over heat, even when you tell them they're the frog in the pot of water over heat and that things are just going to get worse.

I agree that interoperability should be forced on everyone and that it shouldn't be criminal. The only reasonable way to get apathetic people off of Facebook, for instance, or at least less hooked on and less affected by Facebook, is to give them access to Facebook from elsewhere, via means that don't allow Facebook to track every action those users take.

One good example I like to give people is search: Google used to be good, but nowadays they suck, plus even if you want to use them, every search gets tied to every page you visit, every thing you do that they can track. Setting up SearXNG lets people use Google for search, plus use other search engines, without Google getting to tie those searches to you, without Google manipulating what you see based on how they think they can extract money.

We need more of that - much more of it - for Facebook, for Amazon, and so on.
It has been that way since Unix V4 which released in 1973. Back then moving to something that breaks after 65 years was a massive upgrade over the old format that wrapped after two and a half years. And at least from the standpoint of Unix engineers 32 bits was more than enough: Nobody is using Unix V4 in production in 2024, never mind 2038.

Why it made it into Posix and wasn't updated is a different question that's a bit more difficult to answer
Limenet: Facility for storage of CO₂ in calcium bicarbonates in the sea
Yes, but if it's accurate enough then the frequency of recalibration can be kept low enough that inertial navigation can be practical.
In the 1970s people probably would have laughed at the idea that Unix would still be running in the year 2038.

Unfortunately, that is only true until it isn't. Most datasheets are not as complete as you would like, and many are just incorrect. It's up to you to take the incomplete information and make a judgement call as an engineer. Undocumented features are not uncommon.
That literally never happened.
It's one of those things that sounds really obnoxious until you've been on the other side of the table. There's lots of things that can go wrong to make an easy problem hard, and some of them are only really detectable when you think about it from first principles. I've personally seen multiple designs that split a moderately hard problem into a set of extremely hard tasks, often in such a way that no individual task could be simplified on its own.
Deep learning has already proven its worth. Google translate is an example on the older side. As LLMs go, I can take a picture of a tree or insect and upload it and have an LLM identify it in seconds. I can paste a function that doesn't work into an LLM and it will usually identify the problems. These are truly remarkable steps forward.

How can I account for the cynicism that's so common on HN? It's got to be a psychological mechanism.
The more interesting question I have is how he knew the speed that IG user base was growing. The threat that Google may acquire IG when IG was barely a year old seemed quite paranoid, especially when Google had almost certainly ceded its Google+ effort by then.

If anything, the rumors in startup land at the time had Twitter as the likely buyer and IG was quickly integrating with them. It was a product that, to this day, never felt at home with the FB News Feed. Threads is the proof that it really should have been a Twitter product.

Zuck does make fair points, and his direct reports calling out "team issues" seems like excuses. If anything, the "efficient" mono corporate culture of Facebook makes launching a whole new product that isn't just a feature of a bigger product almost impossible. I was on a couple zero-to-one efforts that never made it past the prototype stage because it couldn't really find a home in the bigger orgs. Camera was no different.

Wouldn’t ssh with systemd or auto ssh be a more secure means of remote access to apps (like http/https apps) than the zero trust network access solutions (like Cloudflare Tunnels which terminates the TLS) or even Tailscale (which should be a trusted third party)?

You set up public key authentication with SSH to a reverse proxy, a persistent tunnel, and a socks proxy. In a Firefox profile, you set localhost:port. Done! All your services are available in that browser all the time.

Autossh with a reverse ssh tunnel can also be used to expose an internal service to the Internet through a VPS.

SSH has been very secure over the decades. A good feature of SSH is that it can jump from host to host, unlike VPN.
