> Metal spatulas cause damage to frying pans.

No they don't. How can you even say that with a straight face? Scuffing the surface != damage.

There's a big difference between cooking on a piece of metal, and cooking on a multiple layers of chemicals invented by the aerospace industry; or overheating a metal spatula or overheating utensils made from recycled electronics' plastic.

This idea that it is impossible to cook without all this over-engineered, hyper-marketed, disposable, mass-produced QVC crap is utter nonsense.

Nobody needs teflon, or nylon, or plastic too cook with. You can cook perfectly fine with centuries old technology. The same way the people who invented the recipes cooked centuries ago.
Where can I read all of your stories about all of it? I do a lot of work in food production but none in cook tool production and find it very interesting
Thanks for putting meat on the (speculitive) bone I threw out! Very interesting.

In my weekly post, I share how I published my first simple Go library on pkg.go.dev. In this example, I create a basic library to validate Brazilian CNPJ numbers and demonstrate how to publish it on pkg.go.dev.

It's exciting to see how easy it is to publish a library in Go and to watch the Go community continue to grow! If you find this library useful in your own Go project, please let me know—I’d be thrilled to know my work is helping others.

Star Trek had tech so advanced that they accidentally created AGIs more than once. Presumably they didn't show the fact checking as it was done automatically by multiple, independent AGIs designed for the task with teams of top people monitoring and improving them.
I think it's amazing that humans aren't seriously and permanently damaged way more often than we are. It seems like it's incredibly hard to keep anything complex working for just a couple years and humans regularly manage that for 25x or more of largely healthy, active adult life and then have a decade or two of lesser health, but overall it's amazing how well we work.

That’s a false premise. The government in the US does not need popular approval to do things. There isn’t direct voting on any of these actions and pressure on politicians is indirect and very slow for all but extremely egregious actions.

> learning is _only_ possible at the edge of chaos

Which is what makes math so interesting. The constant stream of finding predictable islands in the unpredictable, and then unpredictable islands (hard problems) in the predictable (seemingly simple easily defined systems).

Math is chaos.

I suppose as we get smarter, and our understanding of the world gets more sophisticated, our survival/growth progress becomes more and more a math exercise.

You need fat on 'nonstick' too. This is another common myth.

Sure, your T-Fal pan will "release a fried egg" instantly for the first 20~30 fried eggs, but then they will start sticking as the coating naturally erodes into your food and your body (including the adhesives that make a 'non-stick' surface adhere to metal). A splash of olive oil is all you need, and olive oil it is one of the healthiest foods out there.
Yeah I generally agree with that. The anxiety example comes from personal experience for me where I thought I was having some medical problem which ended up ultimately being fairly extreme anxiety. Learning how to cope with that was a form of treatment the medical system is ill-equipped to handle, but in my case had I gone down the path of "this is definitely a non-anxiety related illness" I would have been much worse off.

It's still genuinely hard for me to personally tell the difference and sometimes I think something is anxiety when it ends up being an actual virus (or the opposite).
Great work as always Danny Sullivan!

The bigger question is what will the US do if China decides to take the same action wrt EV batteries?
Please, tell me where I said there's only one way to do things.

My question was not meant as a critique of people who know what they're doing. I'm not talking about engineers or sys-admins like the typical HN crowd, I'm talking about the population at large. The average person understands their devices just enough to get them to work the way they want. It stands to reason that a fairly large percentage of the modern population, used to using apps for every individual service, may never have had a use for browser bookmarks and may therefore never have even attempted to use them.

I have a few friends who work as professors and tell me stories about how their students don't know how to navigate a filesystem in Windows. Why would a person like that, for instance, have bothered to learn what a bookmark is vs just keeping a tab open?
Go for Go, super easy to pickup (relatively speaking), clean deployment and good story on network services and concurrency. Kotlin is ok but only better if you have an existing JVM infrastructure you want to leverage. Otherwise, stick with Golang.

Also, congrats on not falling for the hype and going for Rust. Saved yourself a ton of headache.

> They also made ads to “trick overworked employees” into believing that more people would be brought on to alleviate their overwhelming workload.

The part of the picture I'm more interested about is how the managers see it.

There must be a lowly manager actually trying to do something about their overworked team, and I assume they have access to HR and know which positions are real which aren't. And they know the company not only doesn't intend to hire, but is also gaslighting them, and they're made part of it.

It feels so gloom and just depressing beyond words.

I was going to say, this sounds like a diesel-electric locomotive!

That said, there is a reason why diesel-electric took over from both steam and early electric locomotives; maybe that applies to automobiles, too?

I believe that might be a difference in degree, not really in kind.

And selecting (and documenting) a single word extraction was part of the light hearted point. I was careful not to include a period inside the quote. :)
Not exactly.

Emotions exist. You feel them. I feel them. Most people feel them unless they've suppressed them sooo far into their subconscious that they don't have a conscious recognition of it.
We can know how someone else is feeling by reading their body language and tying that to our personal experience of how we express those feelings. No linguistics necessary.

Language is just an easier, more clear way of communicating these fundamental facets of human existence
I have started using chatgpt to generate my searches as it does a better job than me.
I didn't see the original post, but yes we charge per month which is just over 4 sessions. The price also includes all of our events, body doubling, learning modules, and task list tools (in other apps these other features in itself cost $40+/mo., and events require maintenance as well).

Yes, agreed. People can probably back into our cash flow, but we have been pretty transparent at each funding round anyway. Not trying to hide anything!
Why? Without further context, you can't tell the injected statement is actually false.

It's not like the candidate went to interview step, was frankly asked about it, and lied with deny.
If he is not including a SPAM logo or a Pentium logo on his products, then it's not trademark usage. These names are not themselves marks when spoken/written/etc. even if marks exist that contain these names.

If he is printing such marks on his products, then it comes down to the "likelihood of confusion" test: will a consumer be misled to believe that the SKU Al is selling contains the official meat or silicon? That would be trademark infringement. In TFA, the natural gas trademarks are merely listed as "featured partners" so there's not much likelihood of confusion where a consumer would be misled into thinking that they'll get genuine natural gas from this unauthorized merchant, in my estimation.

I'm not arguing that. I'm arguing the type of negative view and the degree.
I mean, re: point 1, we're talking about an app that calls an API for every interaction already, so that doesn't seem super relevant. If Claude is down, you can't use it whether it's through a PWA or an Electron app.
This feels like hyperbole to me. People can reasonably expect Wikipedia to have factual data even though it sometimes contains inaccuracies. Likewise if people are using ChatGPT for search it should be somewhat reliable.

If I'm asking ChatGPT to put an itinerary together for a trip (OpenAI's suggestion, not mine), my expectation is that places on that itinerary exist. I can forgive them being closed or even out of business but not wholly fabricated.

Without this level of reliability, how could this feature be useful?
Still do not like that ChatGPT does not want to provide sources to the answers.

I provided a query to a _somewhat_ common question with Java apps and TLS:

Query:

> identify root cause of this Java exception: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target

Answer:

> The exception you're encountering, PKIX path building failed, typically indicates an issue with SSL/TLS certificate validation. Specifically, the error unable to find valid certification path to requested target suggests that the Java application cannot find a trusted certificate for the server it is trying to connect to. Here are the common root causes and solutions:

Missing Certificate in Truststore:
The server's SSL certificate (or the certificate of its issuing authority) is not present in the Java truststore.
Solution: Import the server's certificate into the Java truststore using the keytool command. You can obtain the certificate by using a browser or tools like openssl.
Self-Signed Certificate:
If the server is using a self-signed certificate, it won't be trusted by default.
Solution: Again, import the self-signed certificate into the Java truststore.
Incorrect Truststore Configuration:
The application might be pointing to an incorrect truststore or not configured to use one at all.
Solution: Ensure the application is configured to use the correct truststore and that the path is correctly set.
Expired Certificate:
The certificate used by the server might be expired.
Solution: Check the server's certificate validity and renew it if necessary.
Intermediate Certificates Missing:
If the server's certificate chain is incomplete (i.e., missing intermediate certificates), it can lead to this error.
Solution: Ensure that the complete certificate chain is presented by the server or manually import any missing intermediate certificates.
Network Issues:
There may be issues with the network or firewalls blocking access to the certificate validation services.
Solution: Check network configurations and ensure proper access.
To troubleshoot further, you can enable Java SSL debugging by adding the following JVM argument:

bash
Copy code
-Djavax.net.debug=ssl
This will provide more detailed output regarding the SSL handshake and help identify the specific issue.

It’s not a bad suggestion, these are my usual go-tos when diagnosing cause.

But then a query into what the sources are for this information is:

> The information is based on common knowledge about Java security, SSL/TLS configurations, and best practices for handling certificates. It reflects general principles and troubleshooting steps recognized in Java development and security documentation. If you're looking for specific references, the Oracle documentation on Java security and the keytool command, as well as community forums and resources on SSL/TLS issues, often cover these topics.

In Europe jobs have to be published. Even if there is no intention of filling it from the public. And companies also publish bullshit jobs which are used to manipulate regulatory requirements if needed (eg. if you want to hire a foreigner, you must prove you couldn't fill the position locally - by publishing it for 3 months).

Text on the homepage hero: "Boost Revenue and Reduce Churn with AI-Powered Dunning"

Today I learned the word "dunning" -- I'd never heard of it before. Except as the name of one of the researchers after whom the Dunning-Kruger effect was named. Per Wikipedia: "a cognitive bias in which people with limited competence in a particular domain overestimate their abilities." -- So, due to pattern-matching, the word "Dunning" immediately lit up the same neural network in my psyche that activates when I think of over-confident idiots.

Might want to avoid using a word that evokes over-confident idiots when selling your AI-based subscription billing recovery solution.

lol!
I'm afraid that the real future is Kagi and the like. Kagi in particular is pretty good, but the point is that it's paid by users, not by advertisers. It's rather hard to stay user-aligned because large commercial operations hich depend critically on their web sites will tempt a search engine with sweet, sweet lucrative deals for slight rigging that "nobody would even notice".
I have a good job now and got this one through LinkedIn. I think it is hit or miss. I wish there was a better alternative. I’ll try your tip.
Yes, exactly! You can do body doubling in so many different ways. In real life you can do coffee shops, libraries, having friends over to study/work, or even just calling your mom while you do dishes. These are all technically body doubling. Online there are also options that all have slightly different styles. Key is finding what works for you. For example, focusmate is 1:1 where you meet up with a stranger and what's cool about that service is that you can log on pretty much any time of the day and find someone to work with. There are also tons of communities and creators who will host body doubling as a part of whatever else they're doing!
>It dates back to the constitutional ban on "ex post facto" laws.

Not really, that's not now constitutionality works with respect to the government. Ex post facto is when the government wants to act against you, not when you want the government to behave. They use new decisions regarding constitutionality to undo previous decisions all the time, they just don't want to in this specific case and are using the "well they would have been able to get a warrant anyway if they had known they'd needed one" to justify it.
I'm not an expert writer, but I thought it was an OK way to say "these two beliefs we've heard are conflicting; don't hold them both", as part of an argument to say that we need to rethink and think more clearly about "parody"

Obviously, we collectively have those conflicting beliefs.

And I suggest that collectively resolving these is going to be forced by AI fakes and social media.
Right now I basically can't find anything, the bar isn't "objective information" but "somewhat useful information". Google search quality became so bad we're past the debate of objective or subjective already, I'd be happy enough to get non-spam results.
I sonetimes come across Global Times articles which are subtly nuanced, not by demonizing the US but by promoting the Chinese narrative instead instead.
H1B has evolved into a bizarre collaborative scam between the government and tech corporations; there is, in fact, a US citizen who can fill any software engineering role a US company has.

While it might be hard for the US to make lithium batteries that are competitive economically, there are still many countries in the world that can make them economically that are not China, eg.

> A y=x relationship is not necessary for meaningful correlation

I’m not concerned with correlation (which may or may not indicate an actual relationship) per se, I’m concerned with whether there is a meaningful relationship between predicted and actual. The 12 plot clearly shows that predicted isn’t tracking actual even in the corners. I think one of the lines (predicting 0% but actual is like 40%, going from memory on my phone) of Figure 13 right even more clearly shows there isn’t a meaningful relationship. In any case the authors haven’t made any argument about how those plots support their arguments and I don’t think you can either.

> the abstract is quite clear on out of sample performance either way.

Yes I’m saying the abstract is not supported by the results. You might as well say the title is very clear.

> The upper bound for guess-for-truth is not as important as the frequency. Yes it could guess 0.5 for 0 but how often compared to reasonable numbers? A test set on TriviaQA could well be thousands of questions.

Now we’ve gone from “the paper shows” to speculating about what the paper might have shown (and even that is probably not possible based on the Figure 13 line I described above)

> choosing to call it "knowing" or not is just semantics.

Yes it’s semantics but that implies it’s meaningless to use the term instead of actual underlying properties.
I am eternally grateful that a friend turned me on to a local doctor who does video calls[0]. I'd struggled with getting in to see someone willing to take my complaints seriously[1], but a week after signing up for an online visit I had a prescription for something that's been life-changing.

For me, personally, the whole effect of the meds are that I'm slightly more awake, as though I drank a cup of stout coffee, and I can more easily decide what to work on and then work on it. I'm fortunate to have had zero adverse reactions.

[0]And then, knowing their clientele, texts and emails the heck out of me to remind me about upcoming appointments, which isn't strictly necessary but is understandable and appreciated.

[1]One doc told me I had trouble focusing because of anxiety. "Do you know what you might be anxious about?" "Yeah, not being able to focus." That wasn't a productive visit.
Sure, ye I guess you are right.

"Knowing people" seem to have become even more important. But I feel that is a really long term thing. It is really hard to get into a position where you get valuable contacts or do interesting stuff. And your contacts more or less need some power.

It is just that, I feel it is like telling some lonely child "so get friends". For most programmers trying to get a job, I think "just keep the grind up, champ! I'll buy you some ice cream if you give it your best" is more helpful.

These "ghost jobs" the article writes about is poisoning the well. Applicants need to spam even more. Employers get more half hearted applications.

I've noticed these probably fake job ads for years, but it seem to have escalated.

It wouldn't surprise me that we will end up in the straw man "first man or woman through the door with a firm handshake that looks the boss in the eyes gets the job" hiring process as the current formal one gets totally dysfunctional.
