This is an issue for all the low/no code tools. Every meaningful problem has a first class SaaS product that solves it well.

Notion/Retool/Airtable/Coda/Etc are fighting over a cursed long tail and their employees are slowly going insane trying to generalize asymptotic industries. The “AI” rebranding has no doubt made them want to put a gun in their mouths.
Modern cars are shit because CVT transmissions (which are better for emissions standards) mean cars feel sluggish and unresponsive.

How? What plausible pathway do you see between Russia exploding a nuke over Novaya Zemlya and their suicide by American nuclear response?

> A major shift in the ground situation Ukraine's favor (effectively signaling an eventual Russian defeat) could do the trick.

I don't understand what trick. Russia directly attacking NATO? They'd get pulverised, and they have no forces left. Russia committing a suicide by launching a strategic attack on the US over Donbas? That's implausible. They just lost a chunk of Russia proper and took it on the chin.

> I guess everyone who doesn't agree with your assessments is either paralyzed by irrational fears, and/or a useful idiot, or just looking for a cop-out.

I see how it's easy to interpret the earlier reply personally, my bad, sorry. I was referring to the people establishing the narrative (media, politicians, and people with large platforms). It's self evidently working! A direct confrontation with Russia (a country with an economy smaller than Italy's, glaring manpower problems, and largely depleted army) evokes the idea of WW3, but I see very few people talking about the very likely war over Taiwan (with a much, much, much more powerful country) in "WW3" terms. This narrative doesn't make any logical sense, we just got used to it, even though it's not grounded in reality.

But that's where the really fun and complicated problems are. The ones that really make you stop and think, and not just think, but be creative.

> But setting `ROOT=/tmp/new` doesn't cause us to use the `/tmp/new` to as our source to link against things

That's a good thing, because it won't be /tmp/new/ when we're finished.

> So (as it currently stands) we'll end up trying to link `libB.so` (64-bit time_t) against `/lib/libA.so` (32-bit time_t), and things just won't work.

It won't work until /tmp/new/ becomes /, which it doesn't have to until you're done.

Remember that this is just for building and installing the software. It doesn't get executed which is precisely what you want because it wouldn't work properly otherwise, as you point out.

You can even use this method to build a complete userland for an instruction set architecture that your CPU doesn't even support. All you need do is also set CHOST to the tuple identifying the target architecture in addition to setting ROOT for where it should be installed [1]. You just wouldn't be able to chroot into it obviously.

I am absolutely convinced that the 24 hour news cycle is the problem in society at large, at least in the US. Everything else draws from that.

I'm a huge roger waters fan, in particular the album named after this book (not to mention huxley). I was excited to finally get to read what had inspired him. I found it dated (obviously I'd read it nearly 40 years after it was published), commentary on the evils of tv.

There were issues with Boeing's Starliner that made it difficult for NASA to quantify the risk of bringing the test crew back on it. NASA still believed that the risk was likely to be negligible, but since they had the option of taking a fully proven spacecraft back home, they opted to send Starliner home empty.

The astronauts were/are comfortable on the ISS. There are plenty of supplies, and more have gone up as part of regular resupplies. IIRC the only discomfort for them was having to use makeshift sleeping places until the previous crew departed. As astronauts, they pretty much live to go into space, so they were happy, of course with the minor caveat of the disappointment regarding their primary mission not panning out and of having to be away from family for a few months. Especially considering that they are unlikely to get to be in space again as the ISS is due for retirement by the end of the decade and NASA wants to give space travel experience to the astronauts intended for the Moon.

Putting it differently, the biggest issue/inconvenience with this situation was that Starliner was taking up a docking port and causing things to have to be rescheduled. Prior to launch, crew are trained to operate certain experiments, or to do servicing space walks. Since the crew being launched had to be reordered, these plans had to be reworked.

There are a lot of people focusing in on the fact that they will be returning in February, but they're completely ignoring the fact that they're perfectly capable of coming back early, that option is actively not being chosen as having them stay till then would be more optimal for station operational planning.
A great deal of my own thinking could be described as hallucinating, given a sufficiently loose definition.
Huh? All the files are local and models are gonna be made to have a lot of or ultimately all of them in the "context window". You can't really have an AI for your local documents on the cloud because the cloud doesn't have access. Same logic for businesses. The use case follows from data availability and barriers.

We've observed the same on web pages where more and more functionality gets pushed to the frontend. One could push the last (x) layers of the neural net for example, to the frontend, for lower expense and if rightly engineered, better speed and scalability.

AIs will be local, super-AIs still in the cloud.
Local AIs will be proprietary and they will have strings to the mothership
The strings will have business value both related to the consumer and for further AI training.
It's similar to your car breaking down in a remote area only if you've trained extensively for that area (almost your entire life), have food and supplies for the entire duration, have friends and entertainment, and can do your job as well as novel career options the entire time as well.

It's overly dramatic to call it a rescue mission. It just is. It's not great that they're up there longer than planned, but they're not going to explode or fly off into space.
He doesn't just say "why is this so hard?". He provides rationale for what he thinks is required and the effort it should take, posits some things he might have missed, and asks for more explanation. If you get a good-faith request like this from a technical manager, you should be able to point them at some docs or give a relatively concise response as to what they're missing. Honestly, you should have already headed this off, because the moment you realized you were in danger of missing deadlines, you should already be raising it as an issue and either explaining your plan or asking advice for how to get back on track.

If you're missing deadlines, you can't both complain
a) when there's no accountability and the business is going poorly, and
b) when your managers are trying to hold you accountable.

Ultimately your employer has to make money to pay you for your work. Keeping this in mind is one way to help you avoid yak-shaving, bike-shedding, and other weed-entering activities.

Fat binaries (packing together 2 entirely different objects and picking one of them) could potentially work here, though I suspect we'd run into issues of mixed 32-bit/64-bit time_t things.

Another option that's closer to how things work with LFS (large file support) (mostly in the past now) is to use create different interfaces to support 64-bit time_t, and pick defaults for time_t at compile time with a macro that picks the right impl.

Also possible could be having something like a version script (https://sourceware.org/binutils/docs/ld/VERSION.html) to tell the linker what symbols to use when 64-bit time_t was enabled. While this one might have some benefits, generally folks avoid using version scripts when possible, and would require changes in glibc, making it unlikely.

Both of those options (version script extention, and LFS-like pattern) could allow re-using the same binary (ie: smaller file size, no need to build code twice in general), and potentially enable mixing 32-bit time_t and 64-bit time_t code together in a single executable (not desirable, but does remove weird link issues).
Probably because if Trump gets elected they'll crawl to a halt again.
Err, so what was the one you were thinking of? I've seen The Island before, so would be potentially interested in something else along the same lines... :)

Great tool, good job to the author. I am looking for something almost exactly like this. Lightweight GUI app for viewing tabular data. There's only one critical thing missing for this to be perfect for my desired workflow and that is automatically reloading on external file changes. Currently I use Visidata for the purposes of viewing the output of sqlite.

I write an SQL (or mainly PRQL these days) query on a text editor on a file which is being watched by entr which runs the query on a sqlite database which outputs a csv file which is then read by visidata and there I look at the data, do some basic manipulations. That my very simple, completely unix-style data exploration pipeline. What I miss a bit from Visidata is a bit more mouse control. I mainly want to select a range of cells to copy and paste somewhere else, which this does. But unfortunately this doesn't reload the file on change automatically.

Anyone has any recommendations for a data tool that would fit the workflow I described?
This sure feels like yet another sign that major global powers are all gearing up for war.

This could be as benign as a government ensuring that the 100 jobs aren't lost, but given everything going in in both Europe and the Middle East it sure seems like more than saving such a comparatively small number of jobs. They could have just signed large(r) contracts with the company to financially secure the company, acquisition is a stronger play when the government needs more direct (and more private/secure) control.
You can also configure an L2ARC to only hold metadata, which is safer than a metadata device.
I thought you could have them delete everything at any point, and that you just needed to request it? Article seems to imply that.
At its simplest, it is a UI to markdown files. When I was first looking into it, it seemed very tightly coupled with the zettelkasten method which I know nothing about. At first I thought that I was missing something but have since used it as just a markdown note app.

For basic notes, the ones that come with most devices imo are very good. Apple notes, Samsung notes, Onenote, all very good. So good I find it difficult to recommend anything else to people, like Notion still doesn’t even have proper pen/stylus support. Obsidian to me fits a good niche of being extensible with plugins but I get why some people can’t get into it.

Notion shines with database use, and was how I used to write my blogs and connecting the API directly to my site to auto update. I’m surprised you’re a paying customer and barely use the database stuff!

Quote from the article

Car companies build big trucks and SUVs because the fuel economy rules are more lax. Rather than try to squeeze more efficiency out of what they had, they simply built bigger vehicles and turned on their marketing engines to convince everyone that’s what they needed to be safe and happy.

People should really be pointing a finger at the government. Their regulations backfired and they haven’t done anything about it.
I think once I started using databases it made other note-taking tools seem primitive in comparison. It's hard to explain why, but it just allows you to organise and categorise hundreds of notes seamlessly.

I also really like how it treats everything as blocks, that's another thing that I can no longer live without.

If you're not interested in features like this, then yeah. Obsidian would be a good use-case.
Because I cannot upvote comments on HN, I'll clutter the thread by thanking both you and the other fellow who gave pretty good explanations.

...so you turn around and go home long before you're forced into a gun fight.

Sure, the F-35 is a multirole fighter aircraft with a gun - so is the F-15E, but that doesn't make it a dogfighter. If you're in a position where a guns solution is your only kill option in an F-15 or an F-35, something has gone terribly wrong. Pretty much everything about both jets is designed to operate in a theater with extremely high levels of air support and friendly materiel. It is assumed that they won't get into a dogfight because it is extraordinarily rare for an F-35 to exhaust two AIM-120s in a single sortie, let alone the 6 it can carry in stealth mode or the whopping 12 AMRAAMs that the F-15 can lug along.

Even as far back as the Vietnam War, forcing a missile truck like the F-4 into a dogfight with a MiG-15 was a death sentence. You don't need a very active imagination to suppose how an F-35 fares in a guns-only dogfight against an Su-27.
Off-topic as far as the article above goes, but do you think it's more likely for global(-ish?) war to erupt because of Europe/Middle East compared to Taiwan? A lot of the discussion around global war pre-2022 was for the late 2020s when China attempts to invade Taiwan. I personally doubt the major global powers will allow the conflicts in Israel and Ukraine to escalate to Western countries actually engaging in combat (but they do seem to want to personally defend Taiwan).
Immigration is an economic geopolitical weapon against Russia and China.

I don't think is as big of a deal the author is making out to be - such pages are usually written out of SEO considerations.

If there's a conversation within a company about getting dedicated CRM software and they're already a Notion user or strongly considering Notion for their wikis and documentation, getting the word out there that Notion can also function like a reasonable CRM replacement can help close that deal or prevent a conversation about how Notion might not meet their needs.
Buy a copy you control. That way you can listen to it whenever you want.
Not in this article but I read an ABC News article where they vehemently avoided to mention SpaceX when they talked about the Starliner’s problem and the decision of NASA. Literally not even a single word. Hilarious :D

In re: this "NLP is pseudoscience" business, I've lost patience with it. First, I'm living proof of NLP's efficacy. Second, I don't go around suggesting homeopathy or astrology or pyramid power, okay? Like Ron Swanson "my recommendation is essentially a guarantee."

In terms of a Venn diagram the region representing people who have experience with NLP and the region representing people who think NLP is pseudoscience are disjoint, they do not overlap. As in I have never found anyone who claims that NLP is pseudoscience who has also admitted to having any experience with it. That is not science, eh? To the extent that mainstream scientists don't take NLP seriously they make themselves ridiculous. So yeah, in this one instance, ignore the scientists and look at the strange thing anyway, please? Humor me?

Now NLP is not scientific (yet) and it doesn't pretend to be (although many promoters do talk that way, and that's wrong and they shouldn't do that) and in fact there's a video online (I'll link to if I find it) where the co-founder addresses this point and says "it's not scientific".

However it does work. So it seems imperative to do science to it!?

At the time it was developed there were dozens of schools of psychology on the one hand[1] and academic psychologists on the other and the two groups did not talk to each other. NLP ran afoul of the academic psychologists in the mid 1980's and they closed ranks against it and haven't bothered themselves with it since. Again, I think it would be fantastic if we would do science to it and figure out what these algorithms are actually doing.

In any event the important thing is that the tools and techniques that have been developed are rigorous and repeatable. E.g. this "Core Transformation Process" works. That's primary data on which the science of psychology should operate not ignore.

I use Notion because I have to, not because I like it.

Other teams still use Confluence. People said Notion is a lot better than Confluence. Well, I agree I'd rather use it over Confluence, but that's a very low bar for comparison.

For ages they didn't have a find-and-replace feature. I just checked, it looks like they've finally added it in the last few months, but this is the first I notice.

They claim you can export stuff as markdown, but if I export as markdown, edit and reimport, I lose half of the formatting – even basic formatting which is part of the markdown spec.

Their native format (which their API exposes) is a bunch of extremely complex JSON blobs. I thought about writing a tool to let me download stuff, edit it in a sane text editor, then reupload it, but when I saw the complexity I just gave up.
It's a long process and people who have been vetted and through it don't deserve to be held up unless there is a good reason. I can understand if there is something amiss but to just put the entire thing on hold for "theater" is wrong.

Still from what I understand the US takes in more immigrants every year than any other country.
