Not sure what triggered it, but I began odd searches a while ago and want to echo many of the "feels like the good old days" type comments.

Video made without any real production intent is compelling. It is pure, raw, just human and many of us hunger for that because the big media players dominate hard for fear of losing to their peers it seems.

And that behavior is expensive to us.
Here's the issue with North Korea - they don't use technology :D.

One great thing about Zola for static sites is that it's just a binary. Hugo shares that trait, but a lot of the others are built in Python or JavaScript and therefore come with gnarly dependency trees and package management problems that have given me headaches when trying to update a site after a few years of inactivity.

With Zola you just download the same version of the binary you used last time (or even commit said binary to the repo alongside the files) and you're on your way.

It fits in well with the general static site ethos of minimalism and constancy.
I feel like I remember StackOverflow (and related sites) having OpenID login as an option, but I don't see it anymore. I figure they removed it due to low popularity.
The two languages have two different async abstractions which at their core aren't compatible in general. When that happens in software, one of several possible options will happen. The thing Microsoft chose here is to give an API that looks like it's compatible but which is subtly broken for a nontrivial fraction of code (other common choices include rejecting any level of compatibility, providing more complicated APIs allowing the user to handle the multi-language nuances, or providing an incomplete API which works as expected).

Much like how when one proposes a perpetual motion machine you know there must be a bug in the math somewhere, when somebody proposes an interop between two incompatible data structures there must also be a drawback. Pick literally any feature of the language other than sequentially executing code (exceptions and threads are usually great ways for languages and specs to fall apart), and you'll likely find places where the interop struggles. A few that come to mind:

- That solution is only one direction. Interoperability needs to go both ways.

- The exception interface between the two constructs is sufficiently poorly defined that I'd call it a footgun, and code that won't wake you up at night usually has to do extra work.

- Performance in that kind of wrapping is a nightmare, both from the overhead of additional runtime layers, and, more importantly, because the last time I checked it was basically "sync over async" in a way that made the type system happy.

- Going back to the exception thing, cancellation tokens are especially poorly handled in that interop one-liner.

- They still haven't fixed blunders like ConfigureAwait(false), and the interop code absolutely has to care about that sort of thing in applicable contexts (the worst offenders being any sort of "main thread owns everything" code like current popular GUI paradigms).
I wish we had dates to tie to these numbers; inflation is hard to contextualize.

I am going to pay these folks just because they broke this story.
Words have a fairly precise dictionary meaning and it's important not to constantly wage a word war where you want to win political and social arguments through word redefinitions. It's information pollution, you redefine words like "love", "equality", "freedom", "democracy" until they mean something completely different and suddenly you have a divided population that can't even talk to each other anymore because all this confusion that you just had over the word "democracy" is only possible because you are misusing the word.

Review: An anonymous "distinguished CEO and engineer" suggests if you can't complete a feature in a day, delete your progress (except for tests) and start again the next day.

The author then recounts advice he gives to juniors, which is to stash the work and rewrite it, claiming that the next day the work will be rewritten in 25% of the time and 2x quality. This is unsubstantiated though. For juniors this suggests it will help them develop their capabilities to reason about implementations of problems without needing to face a a large amount of them.

The author then gives another advice which is to ask for a solution to a problem then after the initial proposal, ask for a 24h solution. This is meant to generate "the real solution". He likens it the a path algorithm heuristic to reach your goal quicker.

Overall the methods are not well discussed in terms of pros and cons, nor substantiated with experiments.

Opinion: I think they may help some juniors who need to build up experience and may become stuck in development patterns. But they would rarely be useful to develop someone to be a senior, if all they do is chase fast implementations. In a way the post gives conflicting advice: write twice and write better, and think twice and think about the fastest way to achieve the goal, instead of engineering a problem.

The author hasn't really convinced me of these approaches, and especially the last one smells of eXtreme Go Horse.
Ship just before you feel it’s perfectly ready is how I do it. Your instincts are tuned to protect you, and you have to be willing to thank them for their input but ship anyway to prioritize learning by doing.

But this is not shipping things half-baked. It’s recognizing the point where your standards are wasting energy more than adding value.
Aha, that explains the framing of citations as support instead of as a low-tech hyperlink* for people who want to know more.

(and come to think of it, it also explains why they'd even suggest an article full of hyperlinks could be a bad thing?)

This reminds me of something I've been thinking a lot about. which i think is big techs greatest failure: interoperability

I first thought of this when seeing someone take a picture of their computer screen. There is just so much friction in moving data.

I should be able to take anything off any screen and move the source material to any other screen on any device or cloud with a simple 1-click process. Including the devices of a friend or family member.

Microsoft forced OEM's to replace the right ctrl key with a copilot key. really it should have been an 'interoperability' key.

Event tickets should be NFTs. They can retain the quality of bearer instruments and remain a keepsake after the event.

It would also unlock new ways to connect with audiences. For example, if your wallet holds 3 or more NFTs from this venue/director/band, you get early access to purchase tickets for future events.
My peoblem with taxes such as fuel tax is that they create a perverse incentive for the state to perpetuate the use of gasoline.

The state gets hooked on the tax money.
This is even true for "celebrities" today: there are different rules about where they still get to keep their privacy, and even then the society's thirst for the most intimate details is unrelenting. I am not saying this is "fair", but that it's recognized that "celebrity" has quite some downsides too.

OTOH, people featured in these videos are not going to hold a press conference when they start a new job (eg movie filming, sport team changes, winning elections), or even about a terminal illness they might be facing, where all of those are quite common with celebrities.
Isn’t escaping a separate orthogonal issue? Or am I misunderstanding your point? Several people have pointed out that the special ascii field separator will have to be escaped if used within a field, just like a comma is. It seems like escaping is an issue either way, and aside from that, a comma is easier in practice than a special character at every level of interaction; discovery, typing, displaying, tooling, printing, standards, etc..?

I would concede that having the special characters inside fields will be less common than having commas inside CSV field is. I guess that is worth a lot even if it doesn’t fully solve the problem.
It isn't about security, it's about spectrum.

3G wasn't designed to be forward-compatible. It expects to have a dedicated frequency band it can operate on. But spectrum is limited, and telcos really don't want to reserve something like 25% of what little spectrum they have to support a handful of legacy devices.

4G/5G support Dynamic Spectrum Sharing. This means a single frequency can be used to carry both technologies, with the ratio between them adjustable as demand varies. With DSS a 5G base station reserving a tiny fraction of transmission time for legacy 4G emergency calls would be absolutely trivial, which makes future hard shutdowns unnecessary from a technical POV.

> because compared to overseas rollouts it's still a trash fire

That's unfair because you are implicitly only comparing against successful rollouts.

Having used a variety of bus systems in South America and Auckland, I can say there are plenty of shitty systems out there.

I tried to use Auckland the other day and couldn't because I didn't have the required bus card. I couldn't use contactless payment from my phone and I had just arrived from overseas so no cash. I was told they don't accept cash anyway. I had to Uber instead.

After dealing with crappy overseas it was eye-opening to have multiple similar problems in my own country (not just bus access) e.g. cash machines don't support contactless so I couldn't get cash - I had lost my CC)
This is a great read! Thanks for the share. Interesting how the methods for reviewing Haidt’s new work are so different than most papers today - just one big google doc that there’s hundreds of eyeballs on. I love the openness. I’m a big fan of Haidt - avid reader of his books and newsletters.

Just like the author, I wanted to read and write more. As I'm taking a year long sabbatical, I just started writing (badly) at https://www.gaurav.io/blog/. The idea is to write a post every weekday (excuse the last 2 weeks – it was Diwali) even if I think it's a terrible post. The value is in getting the post published, not publishing something great, at least for now.

I'm doing something similar with reading – 50 pages minimum everyday. I've read more books in the last 4 months than in the last 4 years by just keeping the streak alive.

You are technically correct, the best kind of correct. (Dear GP, congrats on eliciting the quintessential HN comment response).
Yes, meant the latter. But given how Go was spoken about pre-AlphaGo about the only 2-player piece-game "not beaten by AI", it's maybe implied here.
> Break my concentration EVERY 20-30 minutes to move around for at least 2 minutes? That's at least halving my productivity.

I approximately never need to focus to the level that standing up and pacing a bit would evict state, let alone need to focus like that for for over a half hour at a time.

And I think if I was focusing like that, I'd probably just forget to take a break.
>I worked with many no-degree developers who learned through books and trial and error.

Sure but I suspect almost all of them have done some things inefficiently or missed doing them altogether because their self taught skills neglected to teach them what they'd have learned in a degree program.

Radiate Intent – Lee Byron
I could answer that but the explanation would be long and painfully dull.

I'll just refer you to graffiti once painted on a Besser block wall that surrounded a trotting course not far from where I live. To quote:

The Australian people are bloody-minded sheep.

It remained there for decades and no one—no even the local council—ever attempted to remove it or paint over it. Why? Because all too many know it's true.

The graffiti eventually disappeared when the wall was knocked down when the trotting gave way to high-rise apartments. I always meant to take a photo of it and I'm now kicking myself that I didn't.
Providers use h100 because using 4090 in DCs is grey area, since Nvidia doesn't permit it.

Paper discussing here is using 4 bit compute, which is 4x on 4090 in comparison with bf16 compute, while h100 doesn't have this at all (i.e. best you can get is 2x compute with fp8). So this paper will even out difference between those two to some extent. If to judge by theoretical numbers - H100 has 1979 TFLOPs fp8 compute, and 4090 has 1321 TOPS. Which puts it around ~65% of performance. Given the price of it ~$2K compared to H100s ~$30K this seems like a very good deal.

But again, no 4090 in DCs.
The parent comment was focused on the claim that Firefox is designed for browser users and not for Mozilla's purposes or the purposes of other, commercial entities. The commenter provided examples demonstrating Mozilla's interests in generating revenue and serving commercial entities on the web.

This reply however focuses on comparing Firefox and Chrome. Yes, Firefox is better.^1 But the parent's comment is still valid.

There is so much in Firefox's design that is not for browser users but for the benefit of others. Mozilla cares deeply about web advertisers and an online advertising "ecosystem". This is reflected in the design.

1. On average, but not in every respect. For example, in Chrome I can set the default search engine to any valid URL. I use a localhost-bound netcat that serves a useful web form^2 that I created in lieu of a "search engine". In Firefox, this is not possible.

2. It sends text clips from Chromebook Chrome to the "developer mode" (frecon) console stdout.
Sometimes I wonder why we even bothered with javascript and didn't just use POSIX.

And before that, there was Bambuser which was very similar to Periscope but launched some 8 years earlier. It never gained the popularity of Periscope, likely at least partly due to its Nordic rather than Bay Area roots - but, oh boy, was it fun!

At any time of the day you could go to the website and watch normal people around the globe doing random stuff. And chat with them!There weren't any real influencers at the time (at least not on the platform) and monetization wasn't possible, so people's motivations for live streaming stuff was not to make money but rather the joy of sharing a moment or just experiencing new cool technology. It got a bit less joyful when the Arabic Spring started and the platform got used by many in very dire situations but it remained incredibly interesting to follow.

The company still exists, though they stopped offering free-to-use consumer services long ago.

I agree with that most tech workers are delusional about money. Yet I still disagree with being the set for life, in my area.

Out of curiosity, what are the tax rates and housing prices where you are?

In my area, the maths would work something like this. Let's say $400k income (extremely high for my city). After tax, more like $200k. Rent might be $30k, plus other costs, let's be generous and say $40k total. That comes out around $160k savings per year. Lets say you work there for 5 years (which IMO is a long time at the start of your career), that's $800k. Median house is $1.5M. You could probably buy a substandard apartment and be back to 0 savings.
Is it possible? Absolutely. Is it better than what everyone else is getting? Absolutely. But I don't think it's exactly "set for life" given you've achieved pretty bare minimum...

What I've also found is there's a correlation between people in tech who don't seem to care about money, and having already started from wealth. Oh, how are you saving so much money? Right, you live in your parents' second house... How did you afford that apartment? Oh, your parents paid for half of it... (For added effect, add in a rich partner too.) Etc etc. Strip away generational/systematic wealth and even at the top of the layperson ladder, you're barely getting anywhere.
What does "set for life" mean? If you're earning $788,000 per year (top 1%), there are many places you can live and be set for life in the US, or even in the state one is currently living in after working for a few years.

Obviously you won't be set for life at any income level if you spend money as quickly as you earn it - hedonic treadmill and all - but there is an income level sufficient to meet all of ones needs, and the rest can be saved and invested.

Rule of thumb is: if you can barely afford the lifestyle you have with an income, you probably can't maintain the same lifestyle without an income.
