I didn't even know if it'd be seconds with enough people. Have a team unlocking and dropping the current battery and a second team wheel in and attach the new battery. That could all happen at the same time that tires are being swapped.

"Are you planning to have children? You don't have to answer"
That's a pretty broad statement. Do you own any woodworking tools? Do you want to make furniture or do you want to make decorative pens on a lathe? How new to it are you?

I started with just a circular saw and a drill (would not now recommend [1]) and bought "handy panels" from the local big box store to make crappy book cases and such. I was very much demonstrating the aesthetic of the School of College-Dorm.

Eventually I got a table saw and started making MAME cabinets, dance pads, etc.

When I eventually started seeking out better quality plywood I began to make things like speaker enclosures (and better looking book cases).

I was getting into woodworking when television was still a thing so Norm Abram's "New Yankee Workshop" on PBS was my inspiration. Not only is a lot of that on YouTube now [2], but so too are hundreds of others uploading videos on woodworking. We live in a rich time when it comes to hobby how-to videos.

I think of YouTube sometimes more as inspiration ... where I want to get to. For example I like Paul Seller's videos [3] where he makes everything more or less with hand tools. Ishitani Furniture [4] is my where I wish I were.

But if videos are not your thing, archive.org is back and their Magazine Rack [5] has plenty of magazines on woodworking. Just look around.

[1] Forget the circular saw unless you're doing hime construction. Opt for an inexpensive "panel saw" instead — and also an 8' sheet of 1-inch-thick insulating foam to put down underneath the wood you'll be cutting on the floor of your basement or driveway.

A manager asking a teammate to do something in front of a bunch of other people - even "only if you're comfortable" - always puts them in a position where they feel they have to do the thing. Come on, this is basic social behavior.

IIUC, while the water heats faster, it has a lower upper limit (the boiling point), while oil and fat keep getting hotter.

Source: I have ruined a few plastic containers by heating greasy food in the microwave, because the fat easily gets hot enough to melt the plastic. Homemade Bolognese sauce seems particularly dangerous in this regard, because it is both acidic and greasy, and that will absolutely EAT plastic.

P. S. Even if you don't damage the plastic per-se, heating oily food in the microwave in a plastic container isn't a good idea, quite a few nasty compounds will leach into the oil more readily than into water.
As soon as I saw this was part of llamafile I was hoping that it would be used to limit LLM output to always be "valid" code as soon as it saw the backticks, but I suppose most LLMs don't have problems with that anyway. And I'm not sure you'd want something like that automatically forcing valid code anyway

I wonder if watching too much science fiction caused some to miscalculate its usefulness in general.

Expecting real intelligence to "emerge" from a binary logic playback device (aka a computer as we know) is just a variation on the Infinite Monkey Theorem in my opinion. In other words, the odds are not quite zero --- but they are very near it.

It is. On the other hand this kind of mindset is the reason why there is climate change.

No?

Code is not always the same as the process or what the machine actually does... There are hundreds of posible factors from bitflips to a cable getting loose in a socket that could change either.

e.g. There clearly can be a computer configured with enough memory and dense enough memory that at least one bitflip is practically guaranteed in a certain unit time, so the actual process has to include that.

So the code is an abstraction just like the flowchart.
Making high performance teams is part of their job description though, and there is research to indicate that teams with strong social bonds perform better.
> And they can and did provide evidence, you simply ignored it.

That's simply a lie. They didn't. Nowhere on that website was Lynn quoted as describing himself as a "scientific racist".

> Meanwhile, it's an empirical fact that Lynn is a racist

What would be the evidence for this claim? There could in any case be an association between IQ and East Asian ancestry. Whether there is, is an empirical question, and an empirical hypothesis can't be racist, it is just true or false, or supported/unsupported by the evidence. In the source I provided, Lynn references statistical evidence that supports it.
Yeah and I just bought one a month ago… Really sucks, I feel like I probably won’t even get a full year to use it.
Sure, but in reality money will only get them so far. Regulators will not allow Nvidia to buy Intel.
So now you have a bunch of people that freely overshared and that would freely overshare anyhow, you have people that invented something like "my cat just died" and everyone is now doling out condolences and asking how they feel for weeks even though they never even had a cat and they secretly hate the boss and the one guy that openly said they don't do stuff like that at work and they're now shunned by everyone.

Worked out great, didn't it?

Now the above is probably a bit over top but it shows the typical American company culture effect. Going through this at work right now since we got bought by Americans and more and more fakeness is coming in.

"apparently, safely eating it" is also still not the standard I want to use for food. The guys down at the fishing docks in SF Bay are "apparently safely eating" all kinds of fish and sharks that there are big warning signs posted all over not to eat.
It's not inherently different, how we deal with it is.
Drawing conclusions from linear seemingly causal events is nuts considering that most start calculating from the future desired outcome to the present.Someone may do something stupid on purpose in order to gain later.
Adversaries may do the same, the math can quickly spiral beyond human/individual comprehension. For a fact at least for a part of whoever may be involved in some way or another. Complexity is not random, and we can choose our initial conditions to our liking, causing $outcome. We now have entire DC's crunching numbers, not just a bunch of nerds at Bletchley Park. Their ability to calculate and manipulate odds for something to happen far exceeds ours, that's different now. Yet we read snippets from people speculating, drawing conclusions based on, what exactly ?

It would probably be easier to test the other way round: demand for creative software goes up when macs get cheaper.
Maybe at small scales, but at larger scales, absolutely not. Among big strategically important companies, the barrier to acquisitions is not money, but regulatory approval, and I think there's no way regulators around the world will allow Nvidia to buy Intel.
There isn’t a problem with men forcing their way into “female-only” spaces unless you count the guys who sue gyms or bars which have ladies nights. There are people who are lying to you about trans women but that’s not a real threat and those people have caused far more harm to the women they’ve accused or even assaulted after deciding that they must be trans.
besides the usual caveat of unreleased hardware leak, relying on geekbench as a metric for performance is as useful as userbenchmark.

semantics rant: on another note, where is the line between "consumer" and "prosumer"/"enthusiast" hardware in terms of pricing? over 3000 usd before taxes seems well in the latter camp in my books.

on other hand, most enterprise hardware is not optimized for single-core performance. even to my knowledge, the configurations for algo-trading machines are comparable to consumer hardware, if not slower.

When the incentives aligned. Pretty sure during the 90+% tax rate era offered insane incentives to reinvest into the business and employees.

I don't think we need to get rid of capitalism. The controls around capitalism like taxes, social safety nets, could use a little fine tuning.

Capitalism at its core is still pretty efficient compared to everything else. The hyper efficiency needs to not throw the baby (regular folks) out with the bath water(cutting expenses), that’s all.

> TypeScript, Swift, Kotlin, and Scala take string interpolation to the furthest extreme of encouraging actual code being embedded inside strings. So to highlight a string, one must count curly brackets and maintain a stack of parser states.

Presumably this is also true in Python - IIRC the brace-delimited fields within f-strings may contain arbitrary expressions.

More generally, this must mean that the lexical grammar of those languages isn't regular. "Maintaining a stack" isn't part of a finite-state machine for a regular grammar - instead we're in the realm of pushdown automata and context-free grammars.

Is it even possible to support generalized string interpolation within a strictly regular lexical grammar?

...large language models, rather than large math solvers or large fact models.

And why not?

If LLMs can truly think and reason and understand, I would expect them to excel at math problems. Or at least admit that it can't do math and logic.

Negatives: I just played a round against a computer opponent. I’m still not sure if my player was on the left or the right side, I guess my health was on the bottom because when that went to zero the game was over. I’m also not sure if I need to know what Merp means.

Positives: Gameplay was snappy, audio was a nice touch, characters make it feel more competitive like you’re building up to a “boss” battle.

> I'm getting old, I've been doing this for going on 20 years, I've been doing this since before fad workflows were really embedded in the culture. They were around but not nearly as common.

Me too (many decades), and we still manage things the same way I was taught when I started:

Pragmatic and flexible analysis of the project, and mapping out how best to approach this particular project or set of tasks. Projects are not all the same and different methods or approaches are required for different situations (e.g. whs with complex conveyor execution system+multiple app systems that can only go live in a big bang fashion, vs incremental improvements to ordering and order routing processes that can be chipped away at).

Generally it results in breaking it down into some major phases, (e.g. this qtr or year we tackle x,y and z, next qtr or year we tackle x', y' and z' and d,e and f).

Within a phase of work we talk about how to break it down, what needs to be designed up front, what can be handled as we go, which areas are we unfamiliar with and need to do some prototyping, etc.

Then we work, meet regularly, check progress, adjust our plan, adjust design where needed, decide when to divert some attention to going live and things like conversions/training/change mgmt, etc., lather, rinse, repeat.
Imo you're being a bit dramatic. I find it nice to work with real people, I'm work from home right now and its odd to me just how little I know about the people I ostensibly share 8 hours a day with.

I agree that nowadays the Dow is somewhat obsolete, but:

The DJIA is not meant to be viewed in isolation but in the context of other indexes like DJTA, the idea being that if industrial companies are doing well but the railroads or shipping aren't, it will be reflected in those respective averages diverging, hinting at deeper economic problems.

Also they adjust for stock splits now.

That's not exactly relevant. Relevant is if it leaks from the plastic into liquids or not.

I don't. That's why we have EPA and FDA.
Isn't it the other way around? Majority of noises around macOS seem to come from {front-end|back-end} {mobile|app|Web} {development|asset creation|content authoring}. The way I feel is macOS outside blogmedia hypesphere is still not a lot more relevant than OS like Haiku, and CUDA and gaming are just glitches in the Matrix: the distances between macOS hype-core to glitch walls is not uniform, and those two domains are the closest to the core.
I'm just an average person here, but I teach my kids to have a wind-down routine that is very similar to my own—making a quick plan for tomorrow, reading something, being bored, or starting lying down in bed, telling/listening to stories. Definitely no devices or anything that has an LED light or produces sounds in the bedroom. If you have a work/study laptop/computer in the bedroom, start winding down and let it sleep.
We did the same with our kids. Road trips are cheap vacations and having chosen to work in education, that was important to my spouse and I.

It's also an AMAZING way to really get to know your kids when they're getting older. Teens pull away, so being trapped together for a week or two in places where it doesn't matter if they're cool or not is nice.

That was some years ago, so maybe it's different now that you're probably being filmed everywhere if you do anything goofy.
I'm not sure anyone wants to share the work-safe marginally funny story they use around new people as the chaser to someone discussing how they got clean off drugs or recently dealt with a miscarriage or something.

Overcoming the Fear of Aging
I’ve had a chance recently to moonlight doing the work I did the first half of my 20s almost a decade after I left it for tech. Despite its dead end nature, I’m seriously thinking about returning to it.

The work amounts to super overpaid (thanks unions) retail using antiquated software that it modernized could eliminate at least half the jobs, but since there are union staffing minimums and salaries the employer has no incentive.

There’s something nice about helping customers for a couple hours, doing some other mindless work which could be done in half the time if automated, and then going home.

And the group of folks in the industry are mostly great to be around. Particularly after nearly 5 years of working from home in roles that are increasingly more isolated and less collaborative.

Any corporate environment. You'll get stabbed in the back sooner or later.

That doesn't sound healthy if people have to get each others back - usually means there are some bad actors that you'll need to cover up for. Do the job, be polite and leave ego at home. There is no need for politics, gossip and other meaningless activities.

> work for the collaborative pro-social people.

That sounds dystopian to me. I prefer to have social life outside of work, with actual friends that I choose, not HR.
Show HN: I made a website to share and discover well-designed products in tech
Hi, I’m Naveen!

I recently launched Flockly — a community-driven platform to share and discover well-designed, quality tech products. Flockly was born from the need for a curated space to find truly exceptional tech creations, so I’ve made it easy to find quality mobile and web apps, hardware projects, and unique tech solutions.

What Flockly is not: Flockly focuses on polished, real products and excludes certain types of content, such as unreleased or "silly" projects, boilerplate code, directories, job boards, UI components, WordPress plugins, and anything related to web3, crypto, or Tailwind CSS.

This is my first indie project, and I'm excited to share it with the community. I’d love to hear your feedback—let me know what you think!

I’m admittedly unfamiliar with the space, but having just done some reading that doesn’t look to be true. Can you elaborate please and maybe point to some external support for such a bold claim?
Going to the gym at 5:30am is torture for everyone. I’m not some weirdo who enjoys getting out of my warm bed and going out into the cold and dark to pick up weights.

She wants answers to her questions and seems satisfied with the quality of answers she receives. It was news to her that ChatGPT isn't always factual - but let's face it, neither are random web pages.

She wants an answer she can trust 90% and arguments that it's not 100% miss the tradeoff many people are likely willing to make by accepting some inaccuracy in exchange for time.

Show HN: Hireddit – Discover job opportunities across Reddit communities
Hey, everyone

Over the past few months, I kept seeing job/internship/hiring posts on Reddit and wondered why people are using it for hiring since it's anonymous and there might be spam posts.

I interviewed few job seekers from Reddit and found that many of them preferred looking for jobs via Reddit, because
- Most job/internship platforms are saturated
- On Reddit, job seekers/recruiters can engage in organic conversations
- Some posts might be spam, yes, but they said it's worth the risk
- If you've been using Reddit daily, you kinda learn to read between the lines and guess if the account/post is fake or not

So, I decided to build this website, a Reddit Job Board.

I only scrape the post title and links - using the keyword "hiring".

Each job-post is categorized, searchable, and linked back to the original source, so you can easily see the full details and discussions.

- You can search by subreddit, job title, city, country
- You can apply multi-keyword search using comma, e.g. search “python, java”.
Note: We use logical OR on search
- You can search within specific subreddits by using filters

I understand most of the posts are just links to other job boards, but there are lots of original posts where you can directly talk with the employer/candidate.

If this idea gets traction, I can spend some time manually adding additional filters.
The article seems to be arguing that this 12th century artist thought about their art in just the same way as contemporary artists. That seems unlikely somehow.

100% agree.

You can change a design on the whiteboard rapidly and with practice you can really eliminate a lot of problems with a relatively small investment of time.

We just had one where a small group was stretching a bit in what they could take on, they ran into some issues and afterward commented "ok, I see what you're saying, we needed to work through that flow in more detail for a couple hours to avoid that week of pain".
