Thanks, I've been ignoring it since, for the most part, except for a few things just to be aware. I've been studying concepts more deeply now, no more info from tweets: "tariffs good" or "tariffs bad".

I appricate your response, don't know if you will see this. On one hand I like HN because comments do not turn into fights, but on the other hand, I check the comments every few weeks and I miss stuff like this.

Best.
I don't understand how this is a relevant criticism of my system.

If you are already ignoring the actual chord "voicing" as written in the "classical" system, then just keep doing that in my system??

If you are already able to intuit that a note should go elsewhere, then keep doing that for your jazz sets? What's the issue again?

"Gsus4x5" is just as unreadable and ignorable and malleable as "G+5+4".
That strategy worked well for me until I was about ten years into my career and hit a tough job market. A degree makes it much, much easier to navigate a tough job market, especially as you get older.
Bluesky and atproto seem to be built to be hackable.

Someone in the community recently built a searchable directory of Bluesky "Starter Packs" (which are a way for a user to publish a set of interesting people & feeds to follow, primarily to help newcomers bootstrap their experience):

https://blueskydirectory.com/starter-packs/all

Dan Abramov posted about it earlier today, saying he liked it and:

"the fact that it can be done in the ecosystem is awesome. let the ecosystem cook" [1]

And maybe more poignantly:

"seeing random projects pop up in the atproto ecosystem reminds me just how much public web common were stifled by social companies closing down their APIs. an entire landscape of tools given up on and abandoned" [2]

I find it interesting that Michael Bloomberg penned an oped this morning in which he warns against RFK JR's potential influence in govt, using RFK's stance against fluoride in our water as one of his attack points.

Yet here we have WAPO - another bastion of liberal thought media - taking what virtually amounts to an opposing stance to Bloomberg while providing tacit support for RFK.

looks like the billionaire media moguls aren't quite on the same page. They might want to check their jersey color to see if they are still on the same team.
I was going to say anyone should have noted that stocks being down in 2008 means nothing due to the global financial crisis[1].

But then I realized the author might have been a toddler at that time so might not have lived through it, making it easier to forget.

Open Source software should fight back with license agreements that include poison pills for companies that distribute products that have nefarious terms in their license agreements.

Most of these companies wouldn't get very far if they had to build their own products from soup to nuts.

To be fair, you also don't have to stop at a traffic light if there's no traffic to wait for if you don't want to. Just drive across the bridge to Oakland to see it in action.
The facts are that Threads has 275m MAU and has been #1 on the App Store almost continually since it launched. Bluesky is now #2 and rapidly growing. The momentum is real and significant.

And the world is sick of Elon Musk and US politics.
Nonsense article. There are a number of reasons for getting a graduate degree, and being on the receiving end of worse employment prospects is not one of them. Author has multiple graduate degrees himself, and if he didn't, he likely wouldn't even have an audience.
This is Jetbrain's "language injection" feature if you want to look it up. It works with any languages that the IDE supports, and like a sibling comment mentioned it does more than syntax highlighting.

Some of them pretty much do, and they are certainly vocal about it!
I just scrolled 5mn on the landing page of bluesky, unlogged, and it looks like r/politics (mostly anti-Trump, anti-Musk posts).

Hardly appealing for someone like me who goes on twitter less because there's too much politics
Honestly glad to hear they're getting more aggressive. It feels like Waymo's biggest issue currently is the low average speed because of extreme levels of caution.

Ultimately no car will get you to your destination through LA traffic unless it is driven somewhat assertively.
The thing I like the most about AI coding is how it lowers the threshold of energy and motivation needed to start a task. Being able to write a detailed spec of what I want, or even discussing an attack plan (for high-level architecture or solution design) and getting an initial draft is game-changing for me. I usually take it from there, because as far as I can tell, it sucks after that point anyway.

You are using a different definition of strategic than the DoD uses, what you are describing is closer to tactical decisions.

They are talking about typically Org wide scope, long-term direction .

They aren't talking about planning hidden as 'strategic planning' in the biz world.

LLMs are powerful, but are by definition past focused, and are still in-context learners.

As they covered, hallucinations, adverse actions, unexplainable models, etc are problematic.

The "novel strategic approaches" is what in this domain would be tactics, not stratagy which is focused on the unknowable or unknown knowable.

They are talking about issues way past methods like circumscription and the ability to determine if a problem can be answered as true or false in a reasonable amount of time.

Here is a recent primer on the complexity of circumscription as it is a bit of a obscure concept.

https://www.arxiv.org/abs/2407.20822

Remember, finding an effective choice function is hard no matter what your problem domain is for non trivial issues, setting a durable shared direction to communicate in the presence of the unknowable future that can't be gamed or predictable by an advisory is even more so.

Researching what mission command is may help understand the nuances that are lost with overloaded terms.

Strategy being distinct from stratagem is also an important distinction in this domain.
Wasn't this also sort of a feature with Twitter? iirc the retweet and other now popular features were originally hacked together by users
Do you have any hobbies outside work? I find that this seems quite a common theme among people who have focused a lot on their professional careers and derive most of the meaning from life from it.
Trust your gut. Don't bens until you break. If you can realign your role within your current company to spend more focus on what brings you a sense of value in your work, great. If not, I guess you have "grown apart" (no shame in that) and you might seriously consider a break. Maybe an extended unpaid leave or "sabbatical" if the employer is open for it.
The logical conclusion being that we should look elsewhere for AVs to take off?
Label it what you want, I'm responding directly to questions you posed.

> I have my opinion, it’s just not the same as yours.

This is literally the TL;DR for what I wrote.
It’s very much true that wealthy parents supplement their kids to keep them challenged and leveling up, so to say. What you’re describing re: AP classes is for high school students. While the parent comment may have been referring to high school, I imagine they meant elementary and middle school level. Students with support (read: challenged to learn at their level and not slowed down to the pace of the average student) are able to take more AP courses because they are ready at a younger age. They take AP Calculus in grade 9 or 10. My son, for instance, is taking algebra 1 as a 6th grader because we started doing math lessons at home for fun the last couple years. In terms of AP science classes, it’s typically hard to take all of them if you’re not doing outside lessons due to the nature of prerequisites. And, back to the point of extra lessons (which only wealthy parents can afford) I’ve had a few 8th graders (learning programming with me starting in grade 7) who scored 5s on the AP computer science A exam. Often students can’t get to that AP level without additional support prior to high school.

The reason parents look for extra lessons is because most schools can’t challenge students because they group too many students of varying intelligence and interest level into the same class. My public school district does 1 on 1 mentors for students, but only if they score higher than ~144 on an IQ test in grade 2 or 3, which is ridiculous, but these students do get that extra challenge and support with no extra cost. Schools need smaller cohorts to best support kids of all levels, and we’ll continue to fail the majority of kids until we reorganize our schools.
This is likely inspired by the ongoing thread about the most recent post on the same Substack:

The EdTech Revolution Has Failed https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42115597
If you exclude any other reason from the discussion then it's true but tautological. The questions I mentioned still tie into age and aren't just "in the curriculum ever yes or no" type of questions (for instance, at what age should sex education be given?).
The argument I heard was that people like to have it available and it does not cost a lot. Kinds the same thing as having a free coffee, milk or whatever.
Twitter had a really outstanding search and streaming API, but after Musk bought it they put it behind a $60k/year paywall. You can see a corresponding and abrupt falloff in academic network research papers, with newer ones that revolve around Twitter largely limited to cannibalizing old datasets.

With luck bsky keeps growing and researchers invest effort in studying a more open-by-design platform.
It's not a matter of "handicapping", it's a multi-armed bandit problem where you only have N dollars to throw at the problem and you need to decide what distribution of N produces the best outcomes. I went to one of those low-income schools and without intervention I can guarantee you that over 60% wouldn't graduate. Even with a lot of help only 50% of my school graduated when I was in school (admittedly a while ago.) Even then, the number of folks who went to a four-year college was low.

The question is: do you help more folks graduate or do you help the 5% of stars succeed? I don't think it's as easy a choice as you make it out to be once you stop identifying with the gifted students (this is my primary annoyance with HN comments about most topics these days: it's just the commenter opining about themselves, disinterested in taking a systemic view on the issue).
Oh, national security professionals aren't going to be talking about psyops, offensive applications and etc, because such things make a given state look bad - they're an offense against democracy and respect for facts and they make the overt media of a given nation look bad. But hey, leave it to HN commentators to root for taking the gloves off. Not to worry post, I'd bet dollars to donuts the actual classified discussions of such things aren't worried about such niceties. But even more, in those activities of the US and other secret states, that have come to light, these state have propagandized not only enemy populations but also their own. After, have to counter enemies trying to nefariously prevent wars as well.
> Say that my wife finds the cutlery draw in a messy state. She's previously brought it up with me

Picky picky. This sounds unpleasant. I wouldn’t deal with this kind of nitpicking and would get out of what seems like a toxic situation.

On the other hand, a slower CPU just means your task will take longer, but lacking sufficient ram it becomes infeasible to execute.

The minipc can also power off of USB-PD, and many offices will come with hubs or monitors that can deliver 90W on USB.
"The Real Anthony Fauci" is absolutely damning.

Fauci has stated that RFK's book is full of lies. If that was true, then why has Fauci not sued RFK for libel?

Supervisors don't work 24/7 like the cars do. For 1:1 coverage you need ~4X as many people as cars.

As I said, theoretically viable if all employees were supervisors. But they're not.
I'm not new here at all (this account was created in 2015). I know fairly well HN and its "idiosyncrasies" but I like to call them out from time to time.

Be the change you want to see in the world.
My professor told me learning is considered "deep" if your NN has more than two layers.
When they do a specific gene test, they don't do full genome sequencing. I don't know why this is difficult to understand.
You would be surprised. Google uses "g4" (e.g. "p4"-like), much like many game developers like me. It's not like we don't use "git" (we have devops/infra groups) - but lots of folks use Perforce/PlasticSCM/other systems that are not "git".

Just because "git" is super-popular, does not mean that ANY PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPER SHOULD BE FAMILIAR with it... Sorry but no!
Right, because drug dealers and VC-fueled companies never managed to get market share by price dumping and subsidizing the costs in the beginning to kill the competition.

Uber is now finally posting a profit: are they now really cheaper/better than taxis? No, they aren't.
We don't even know when humans domesticated fire, though it certainly long predates the rise of civilization by any reasonable definition.

Certainly fire was a killer app for early hominids, but it doesn't mean it is a necessary step, nonetheless the necessary step on the road to intelligence.
Loads of places switched to coffee pods for the free coffee. Those things often run like $0.40-$0.50/ea for name brand varieties, not including the cost of water filters and what not. Probably cheaper per unit if you just serve large carafes of it.

A 12oz soda from a soda fountain has a marginal cost of like $0.10. Even then cans of soda can be had wholesale for ~<$0.50, especially off-brand varieties.
When the lab does a specific gene test, they don't do full genome sequencing. I don't know why this is difficult to understand.

Even if a family member does the same test later, the same logic applies. The two results can't then be linked because their full genomes were not sequenced, and wouldn't be cost effective to sequence anyway.
I'm a Gnome user so can't speak to KDE, but on Gnome GSConnect is pretty good. It definitely has much more of a open source/hacker feel to it than I'm sure the Apple experience does, so that part may be disappointing, but the features do all work pretty well. When you're on the same LAN it is also lightning fast. I often get a notification on my laptop that I have an incoming call before it even starts to ring.

Big limitation there is that there's no server sitting in the middle, so they have to be able to speak directly. Obviously not a problem at home or on the same wifi, but if you want it while traveling then you can add something like Tailscale or similar. Very, very easy to get setup and works pretty well. It does introduce a lot more latency than I'd like depending on where each device is, but it's very usable.

I would also definitely take a look at scrcpy[1]. It's really a killer app that lets you connect nearly everything on your phone over adb. I use it via USB, but it works just fine over wireless adb as well. You can forward audio, video, clipboard, and much, much more (for example, you can use your laptop keyboard and/or mouse to select thing on the mobile).

All in all it's likely to be a step down in some ways, but probably a step up in others (unless there's a scrcpy equivalent for mac/iphone). The freedom you gain though more than makes up for it IMHO.

This thread (no pun intended) is the first I'm hearing that anyone uses Threads at all. To me, it seemed like after the initial week or so, there was only bots left on Threads, trying to hook people to the person's Instagram, or whatever other place they actually post content at.

Given that other mainstream RDBMSes lets you configure how case handling should happen, Postgres is arguably the closest to the standard.

Usual caveat of how nobody sticks to the ANSI standard anyway applies.
Oh yeah, this is definitely a thing with a lot of bass-heavy EDM. I'm always a bit wary of trying new venues because I never know if they're going to have proper subwoofers or not, since some genres just do not sound right without a sound system that gives sub-bass frequencies the room they deserve.

As an example, give a quick listen to Turn Off the Lights[0]. It sounds incredibly empty and tinny on small sound systems, but add a subwoofer and you discover a whole other layer of chest-shaking bass. This stuff is made to be played live on a properly tuned sound system.

I've spent my entire career trying to make myself and every other cog-head as replaceable as possible. Part of this is because that's the job in large parts of digitalisation, but another big part is because it's annoying to deal with knowledge silos. One of the reason we use Typescript for a lot of our back-end stuff is because it's the one language that our small team has to know. This means our front-end dev can go on a vacation and actually disconnect because other people can cover. It also means it's less of a pain when someone changes jobs.

It has never once been an issue and I think fungability is a part of any healthy system. I spent a few years on the other side of the table, and one of the first lessons you learn in management is that everyone is replaceable and that's solely a matter of cost. Because of this, high levels of knowledge may also work against you as management will likely work on reducing the risk you present. Another thing you'll learn is also how random layoffs can be, especially if they happen for economic reasons.

That being said. I avoid working at places with these silly metrics. The more red tape you put in the way of good work the less likely I'll want to work with you. There are a lot of reasons for this but the primary one is that these sort of things tend to create work cultures which just aren't good for productivity and quality as people "game the metrics" instead of doing good work.

PHP strings tend to have better syntax highlighting with here/now docs (i.e. starting with `<<<TOKEN`). I've found SublimeText to have excellent SQL detection when using these tokens to delineate queries (and the syntax lends itself well to block strings anyways).
Impossible to say, but as someone who lives in Texas and has actually lived on the border, it's simply not a real problem. Nobody notices, or cares, about it. What happens is people attribute seemingly random events to illegal immigration.

Higher prices? Immigration! (never mind that immigrants are cheap labor, which should lower prices). Crime? Immigration! (never mind crime continues to go down and has been for decades). Your shoes untied? Immigration!

It's just such a stark disconnect from reality. They're just used as scapegoats, enemies of the American people.
Hate speech or not, there is nothing pleasant about it.

The irony is that the 'holier-than-thou' crowd, who are against hate and for love all over the world, overwhelmingly post negative political comments and are rooting for X/Twitter to collapse.

This ^ is a good problem to solve in social networks.
What do you mean by "most inroads"?
This is a great idea for something I typically do manually to plan around maximizing vacation time around when my kids have off.

Would recommend being able to adjust the public holidays - for example: Juneteenth and Veterans day off were not days off of school+work.

Other future improvements would be some kind of tie in for airfare - these are typically some of the most expensive times to fly.

Love the idea
I'm not up to speed. Are there currently any instances where free speech was limited on x/twitter? Genuinely curious

Or, to rephrase this as a question: Is it ethical to spam another democracy with millions of chatbots pretending to be citizens of that country—if the effect is to manipulate those citizens to [take any action advantageous to US national interest]...?

Just, Devil's Advocate, but ethical or not, that's what we should be doing and what we are doing. Every nation has its sock puppets out there, our job is to stop everyone else' sock puppets, and do everything we can to extend the reach of our own sock puppets.
Tech is bigger than just coders. Electrical engineers have not had the cornucopia of job-hopping opportunities that web developers have enjoyed over the past couple of decades.
When you stomp on the brakes in a reasonably new car that's skidding on ice and it makes a loud thunking noise, what is that, and what's controlling that system?
Exactly the opposite: for one to win, somebody else must lose.

If you win, it probably means that I lose.
As many countries demonstrated, wealth does not buy good genes. Talented kids stand out, as long as we have a decent public school system, which places a high academic standard and holds teachers accountable. That's how East-European countries and Asian countries produce high-quality students.
Obviously systems have always had to be resilient. But the point here is how dangerous a "set it and forget it" AI can be. Because the mistakes it makes, although fewer, are much more dangerous, unpredictable, and inscrutable than the mistakes a human would make.

Which means the people who catch these mistakes have to be operating at a very high level.

This means we need to resist getting lulled into a false sense of security with these systems, and we need to make sure we can still get people to a high level of experience and education.

Possibly, but not necessarily. You burn out even harder if you do even more of the same kind of work that has burned you out already. The OP mentions: "if I have time, I might actually build something small", "I miss being a person who actually does stuff" and specifically "[directing] [is] work I don't want to do anymore". If, after work, you try doing completely different kind of work (within reason, of course), especially the kind that you've always liked, you might find some motivation and get reinvigorated. A hands-on side project might work the same way a work-unrelated hobby would.
The spammers and trolls will be there soon. Nothing popular is ignored for long.
Almost all social networks have been ideologically polarized since 2016. It's not new or specific to Bluesky.

The only reason Hacker News avoided that fate is due to downvote/flag mechanisms.
