Some anecdotes:

- User actually drawed the screens he wanted, presented to the developers. After a short discussion, one dev added column sorting to a table. That was enough. The user wanted to be able to sort, ended up hallucinating a lot of convoluted screens. He wanted to make a toast but was asking for an oven.

- Users would oscillate between wanting to increase the table height and wanting to decrease the table height. Some of them wanted it bigger, some of them wanted it smaller. It took a while for everyone (users and developers alike) to notice what was happened and realize what we really needed was a resizable table.

I could probably remember more. If I were to include requests by non-techie PMs, the list would double.

Those are small, uncertain requests. The user needs to do something and _believes_ it knows what he wants, but can't communicate or relate his needs to the developer team. Or the developer team is unable to gather specific, real requirements from these small requests. It happens in larger teams too, but often for different reasons (oversight, lack of attention due to multitasking, bureaucracy).

If you work enough as developer, you'll eventually experience this kind of disconnect.
Why are people so negative about ads?

Just don't click them, this and tons of other services wouldn't exist without revenue streams...

EDIT: Based on the tsunami of responses, perhaps a hybrid offering with a paid ad-free version? Even then they would only be building a single product so directional conflict would still arise..
Unfortunately, inflation and the cost of living are killing the idea of free software. It's hard to program anything when your stomach is rumbling from hunger.
Agreed, or an expiry timer (e.g. this message expires in 12 hours).
Sort of. 3rd-party recruiters get paid on commission: they make money when their candidate gets hired in favor of the other recruiters' candidates. In that sense, the incentives are actually aligned in your favor when you're applying for a job that you really want: the recruiter is motivated to work to get you hired, and is only constrained by the need to not annoy the hiring manager. The incentives turn against you when the recruiter doesn't have any jobs that you really want, but is trying the numbers approach and putting you forward for things that you aren't really qualified for, "just in case" it's a good fit. You need to be aware that both of these scenarios can occur, so you can steer yourself away from the latter and towards the former.
If Word was implemented with standard XML backend instead of OOXML, then today, we could have easily developed tools to show good, reliable diffs without having to resort to tricks.
LOL! A butcher cuts meat and so does a surgeon. Who would you prefer to operate on you?
But I see "remarketing" ads everywhere. Google does it too.

How is Facebook showing remarketing ads for items on Facebook Marketplace, the ads paid for by a Marketplace seller who is boosting their item, any different from Google showing remarketing ads for items on eBay, paid for by an eBay seller?

Because that same thing would be happening if AcmeShop were using Google Analytics. Or if Alice had just done a Google search, which might be how she found AcmeShop in the first place.

Or are you arguing against remarketing ads entirely?

I guess I'm just having a hard time seeing any harm here because Alice visited AcmeShop first and didn't buy anything. Like, if I run a shop stall that sells frobulators, and I see someone pass by a nearby stall that also sells frobulators, and they browse but don't buy one, and after they leave I wave to them, and they buy one from me because I have the exact model they wanted... I don't see anything illegal or immoral at all. The first store already had their chance! If Alice liked their items, she would have already bought from there, or gone back there when she was ready to buy.
I'm guessing you've never experience working at an early stage startup?

At a 3 < n < 100 employee start up you absolutely are not "eaten up by a trillion small admin" and at the same time you can visibly see your impact on the product and company in basically real time. I've had work I've finished on a Monday directly lead to a potential major contract by Friday. I've seen features I've implemented show up in a pitch deck that directly lead to the next round of funding. Every single person on the team can personally point to something that they've done that has lead to our team's success so far. It's immensely rewarding to see a company grow and realize that without you personally, that growth wouldn't have happened in the way it did.

"90% of the time you are basically just hacking" is sounds fun, but I personally find it much more rewarding to see each week's work making incremental but visible changes not only in the product but the company itself.

Plans I see for time crunched athletes tend to do more Z3 plus higher zone intervals, so I think your take is valid. I train for XC MTB (my A-race is 60miles ish) and ultra distance, so maybe the Z2 work is more important for me.

However, this is all beside the point - whether it makes sense or not, there are a lot of folks doing polarized plans that involve a lot of Z2, so the desire to be able to type while on the trainer isn't unreasonable.
income taxes was what I was refering to.
Wow! I was literally listening to jungle mix when I came across this article. Amazing. Let's keep the genre alive!
I think in a lot of cases HN job postings are from "companies" in such an early stage that they're not even sure if they've got funding. They post something thinking they're going to get funding to hire, but then it falls through. I put "companies" in quotes here because it's more like an idea for a company than an actual company.
Ah! So step 2 is wait for the spammers to automate blacklisting of Daisy phone numbers, and only then start rolling out a (paid) Daisy option to customers.

Not connecting calls doesn't waste spammer money, but maybe Daisy does.

If the big telco can find 10 righteous callers from a a bad actor telecom, they should keep routing the calls.
The short answer is yes.

At the moment, at Vela, we are using the model to run on all new startups being created and flag the highest probability ones for investment, at scale.

This is funny in the context of seeing GCP try to deprecate a text embedded api and then push out the deadline by 6 months.
Off-topic but I love this naming convention from Red Hat which I hope gets more traction across the industry. It absolutely detest wading through vendor marketing material to figure out which open source product is being used under the hood. With names like "Red Hat Build of Keycloak" and "Microsoft Build of OpenJDK" it's crystal clear.

I believe it works out better for the vendors as well because there are so many obstacles with evaluating anything that requires a license in an enterprise setting. If the technical person downloads and evaluates the underlying open source version some manager will insist on purchasing a support contract before going to production.
Thanks!

>Wondering what your thoughts are of these extremely low cost kvm’s from Sipeed (NanoKVM)?

>Do you think that allows you to expand your market since the hardware is cheaper as you maintain great user experience? Or does that force you to go upmarket as hobbyists need only the minimal feature set?

To be clear, I'm totally gone from the company at this point, so I'm not thinking about strategy for TinyPilot at all anymore.

But I will say that every year, I'd see a new KVM over IP pop up that claimed that they were going to undercut TinyPilot by 60%. And then they fizzle out, and I never hear from them again.

My suspicion is that people see TinyPilot and say, "Wow, that looks like $100 worth of hardware being sold for $400!I could do what they're doing and sell for $200 and eat their lunch and still make $100 on every unit!" But then as you get into it, there are all these more subtle costs like compliance testing, tariffs, customer returns, insurance, etc.

And that's before you even get to customer support. For a KVM over IP, you can't just give customers a "have you tried turning it off and on again?" support response because the issues are more technical and deal with things like NATs and proxies. So if you're making $20 per sale on a low-cost device, and then the customer has one conversation with a support engineer, you lost your profit and probably would have been better off not selling to them at all.

So, I think there's room to reduce prices as hardware prices come down, but I'll be surprised if other vendors can slash prices to below $100 and still run profitably in the long-term.
> ... we want to highlight our guiding principle: the content of the answers you receive on Perplexity will not be influenced by advertisers ... Ads will appear in the US to start and will be formatted as sponsored follow-up questions and paid media positioned to the side of an answer.

Isn't masquerading sponsored follow-up question a loophole around the "guiding principle" of not wanting to influence the user here? I must say though, there's no easy way out for pplx since ads, by definition, compete for user's attention (and an unrelated / unobtrusive sponsor link / question / reference would be no good for the sponsor; which is to say, the sponsor is pplx's customer, not the end-user).

The number of software engineers who either don’t understand social contracts or only understand them when it benefits them to do so is frankly appalling.

No, it's not crazy at all. Back in the early noughts everyone was associating themselves with Internet and WorldWideWeb (yes, they used to spell that out). Same thing happening today with AI. It is irritating ...
This seems simple - it makes the experience worse.
They are just saying the quite part out loud now because they think they can finally get away with that.

Well when the discount plumbing they are getting put in starts to leak shit all over the place there will be a premium again in actually knowing how to do it properly.
I am not a native English speaker either, but I am fairly certain it's pronounced "promt", with the second "p", the one between the "m" and the "t", merging into those sounds to the point of being inaudible itself.

Also, I too asked ChatGPT and it told me that In the word "prompt," there are no silent P's. All the letters in "prompt" are pronounced, including the P.
People don't want to understand that someone has to pay for all that bandwidth and free compute.

I'm using Kagi for that reason, just like I'm using Fastmail. I give someone money, they give me a service and support if needed. Seems fair and simple.

Many developers will get a headache when a more complicated git merge/rebase/conflict happens and git is confusing as hell unless you encountered this issue many times before.

As a dev commit/push/pull is trivial, but may God have mercy on the veterinary who needs to do a complex conflict merge across branches.

If most devs are confused then imagine vets.
This is an incredibly obnoxious response. This isn't a court. People can site their professional experience in an informal conversation.

I started using Perplexity as my primary information-finding tool because of the progressive worsening of Google search results.

Philosophically Kagi resonated with me, but Perplexity just gave me better results and it won out. This move into an ad-driven-revenue model may tip the scales back in Kagi's favor.

For those that aren't aware, (part of)the Kagi hypothesis is ad-driven-revenue ultimately leads to enshittification, and that the solution is a subscription model. I don't question the first part of this hypothesis(ads -> enshit.). But the second depends on many factors. In this particular case, how long does the enshittification take? What if we just move to a world where every 10-20 years, there is a new VC-subsidized but ultimately ad-funded organization that kills the previous incumbent? And we just jump from ship to ship, never realizing the cycle we are in because it takes 10-20 years for the ad model to rot at the core of the product.
Is the goal to get people to think positively about radical social engineering?

If so, it might have been more useful to start with a more plausible example. As it is, it looks like it's trying to make the notion of "radical social engineering" look bad.

Unfortunately, it's hard to "think outside the box" because the box often exists for a reason. Most of what's outside the box is bad. Maybe it has also excluded something extraordinarily good, but you won't find it by casting about at random. Just telling people to think more radically doesn't seem to be helpful.
Agreed. It doesn't seem like a long-term solution, but it is the best way we have _right now_ to visit consequences on people/orgs that enabled the tragedy. If our society sees everything in cost/benefit, then increasing the costs of actions that lead to tragedies like this is one of the best things we can do.
Someone creates a cool app, a fortune 500 company takes it, makes billions and gives nothing back. That is the issue, there are many examples.

Look at OpenSSL, the timezone database issues a few years ago. The developers were pretty much close to being homeless. An issue occurred and companies paniced, did the give, no. I do not know what happened to OpenSSL, but I think some "foundation" took it over and the original developer(s) still got nothing.

OpenSSH is another example, IBM gives 0 to it, but it is used in AIX and Red Hat. Of all companies, Microsoft does donates some $ to OpenSSH.

With Cloud Applications, this is getting worse fast.

That's just not how it works, and it never has. One of the main purposes of the .d files is to avoid modifying the distro's sshd_config file, so you don't have to resolve conflicts during an OS upgrade. Commenting your overrides in the sshd_config? That's backwards.

Downstream distros sometimes want to override the default settings. That's what .d is for. It doesn't violate the dogma "principle of least surprise", especially if you run `man sshd_config` and learn the first thing about sshd's config files.

You do realize the default state of separate societies is mutual distrust, right? And that liberalizing communications and trade creates familiarity and mutual interdependency? And that such liberalization was essentially impossible until the fall of the Iron Curtain, after which relations with Russia had indeed been liberalizing until Putin decided to flip the table and become a military aggressor?

Anyway, my original question was asking about the history of the term itself. Your best argument has been a book from 2016, so I guess the answer must be "no" - this term "Russophobia" is a recent creation, and seemingly just part of the propaganda campaign from the current military aggression.

real-time full duplex like OpenAI GPT-4o is pretty expensive. cascaded approaches (usually about 800ms - 1 second delay) are slower and worse, but very very cheap. when I built this a year ago, I estimated the LLM + TTS + other serving costs to be less than the Twilio costs.

I think you're being overly critical. When it says that it adds support for Trusted Publishers, it links directly to this page: https://docs.pypi.org/trusted-publishers/.

It's security cargo cult.

Use sudo instead of root. Change ssh port. Disable ssh passwords. Use some port knocking schemes or fail2ban. Close all ports with firewall. Some of those requirements might come from some stupid complicance rules, but usually they just come from rumors and lack of clear understanding of threat model. And sometimes they might even slightly reduce security gurantees (like changing ssh port to 10022, there's actually a security reason why only root can bind to <1024 port and by changing it to higher port you lose some tiny protection that unix greybeards invented for you).

I'm not saying that all those measures are useless, in fact I often change ssh port myself. But I'm doing that purely to reduce log spam, not because that's necessary for security. Configuring firewall might be necessary in rare cases when brain-dead software must listen on 0.0.0.0 but must not be available outside. But that's not something given and should be decided in case-by-case basis, rather than applied blindly.
