Good enough doesn't mean optimal, though. Every layer adds a performance penalty and that's how we end up in situations where we have layers and layers of abstraction eventually making all programs slow even on ever increasing hardware.

I have chats labeled as "Life" (coaching), "Health" (fetching some data on diets, exercise), "Tech" (discussing various code blocks".

One very uncomfortable but useful hack is when you feed it context, to ask "what are my blindspots", in fact sometimes I ask it to roast me where it reveals some uncomfortable truths that I am not willing to admit but because it sparks an emotional reaction, it makes me more self-aware.
He's running a business, so, perhaps he got some kind of business pricing?
Which app store?

Is X also in the Social Networking category and Bluesky also in the News category?

If not, why do you assume that which category some intern put the apps in has any evidentiary weight in or relevance to today's conversation?
It isn't. I want a place where people leave their politics, religion and genitals at the door. Op made it seem like bluesky did that. A look at the front page says otherwise.

> it's the job of the FDA to notice these worrisome signals and go look to see if something is currently fucking wrong with the company.

Fair points, but this recall looks to be vendor-initiated from the actual FDA website itself. Found via previous sleuthing in our discussion downthread. The FDA is simply adding it to it's database as it does, and the media picked it up from there. It's unlikely we'll ever be told if this was found via customer complaint, or via an internal QA process.

The one point also that I meant to make earlier, is that these products are likely contracted out. I wonder how many creameries Costco outsources their butter production to? I know other Kirkland products are simple rebrands, so I would assume the case is the same here as well.
Solar + battery storage is cheaper than nuclear, and also far more flexible.

Nuclear, as a baseload generator, is not capable of meeting demand peaks, so if we are going to require batteries for solar, we should require batteries for nuclear as well. Which does not help its case very much.

Just to comment on your last paragraph - I don't really understand people's obsession with having squashed commits on main. I may not have a local copy of the branch that was merged months ago, so I can't get the un-squashed history without jumping through hoops. It also makes tools like git-bisect much less useful.

With my team, once you are done with your PR, you do a quick rebase pass over your branch and squash any remaining partial/in progress/fixup commits into a final set of meaningful logical commits - this set gets merged into mainline wholesale, without any further squashing.

Each commit has the ticket id in the commit message, so you can find all related changes easily if ever needed. This gives us history that's both granular enough to be useful, and meaningful.

(Granted, if your team is disciplined enough to only have very small and granular PRs that only deliver a small logical unit of change at a time, the distinction between approaches becomes moot... but in my experience most PRs tend to be a little bigger that that, and contain at least a couple of related but distinct sets of changes)

And yeah, the commit history in this project is just hilarious.

I was intrigued by the claim that they are secure by virtue of their patented tech, so I looked up the patent

https://patents.google.com/patent/US9906369B2

Sounds like a trust on first use scheme so that you get a public key from the distributor, and use that to verify the application bundle on subsequent use. I actually do like this because it solves for a paranoia I have with password managers, in that they can claim all they want that decryption happens clientside but they're serving me a JavaScript bundle and how am I supposed to believe that isn't changed on the fly via supply chain attack? So at least this adds a step that the application code that is delivered from the server must be signed by the author.

Edit: client is source-available (nonfree), I actually hadn't come across npm verify, so thanks for that

To put it in programming terms, this:

if product.may_have_trace('peanuts')
add_warning()

is generally better than

if product.may_have_trace('peanuts')
if ! product.name_obviously_implies('peanuts')
add_warning()

Eliminating a special cast at the cost of a redundant warning on some products is probably a new win.

I realize prices will likely go up at some point in the future, but what's a fair price for something like this? It's amazing how much time this can save a developer. $10 per month seems ridiculously cheap for the value it creates. I think the market will happily pay more.
Ask HN: Best Podcasts of 2024?
It's that time of the year again. The Economist has released their best podcasts of 2024 list - https://archive.ph/Bh2Y0#selection-977.4-977.25

Personal favorites:

Conversations with Tyler - Tobi Lütke on Creating Shopify for Americans as a German in Canada (Ep. 221). I found Tobi's viewpoint as a European who has set up a business in North America to be particularly interesting and unique.

The Rest is Politics - Trump Returns: What Now? I was not pleased by the result but this podcast helped me process it and understand some of the reasoning behind it.

The Social Radars - Dan Siroker. First time coming across the Optimizely story and found it a fascinating one.

What's on your list?
See the No clip documentary about how they did hire Arkane then backed out:

That would be pretty ironic if Trump is able to deliver more on his promises than other politicians.
Nuclear is seriously unfriendly stuff. Just read up on all the lessons (and coverups) the US nuclear industry learned about making nuclear fuels. The metals involvsd are toxic AF and unforgiving of any stupidity. We have a ton of regulations around this because businesses of the past just dumped things like mildly radioactive tailings to blow around in the wind.
Maybe she’s a real obstacle and we should aim to put her back there at some point in the future.

Most of the Vitriole is still contained in twitter/x, bluesky will soon have the same problem and I expect it to be worse/require more active user maintenance due to the decentralised aspect of trying to moderate speech.

Bluesky should actively increase the difficulty of onboarding people onto the platform to weed out or reduce the population. Vitriole need a critical mass before it overtakes the entire discussion.

No. Each application is in their own category.

I did not assume anything. I use X as a news app, the CEO of X has stated it's a news app, and its category in the iOS App Store is News. There are no assumptions here.

Or, using percentages:

China’s commitment to nuclear power increased significantly with the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021–2025), released in March 2021, which called for a buildout of some 150 new nuclear reactors over the ensuing 15 years to reach a production goal of 200 GW of nuclear energy by 2035 (enough to power more than a dozen cities the size of Beijing).

By 2050, China wants nuclear to provide at least 15 percent of its electricity generation (which China envisions as its third overall source of energy by that year, behind wind and solar).

I've got this idea for a toy social media network that costs ~$1 per byte to post. No advertisements. It would be like an experiment in how dense people could make posts. If you wanted to post an animation, you would post a javascript file like dwitter.net

Instead of having "upvotes" or "reactions", this function would be the same as replying a single char or two. If multiple people post the same thing (like "" ":)" "L"), it gets collated and boosted as a single message.

If you want to flex, you can drop $10,000 to post a 10kiB picture of your dog. Or spend $1000 to write an overly long post. But I imagine long posts would be seen as bougie.

That's the worse advice actually. You want the hidden shit to stay there unable to be seen by default programs. That's how you got all the crap in Windows mail starting from 90's when Outlook started to trying to be "smart" and automatically detect and run additional content. Be dumb and don't discover anything, let it rot in there. The only one that should do this is the antivirus, rest of unpackers/readers/whatever stay dumb.

Bluesky is the blue version of Gab. You'll find that it's an ideological echo chamber and gets uninteresting fast.

The difference is that this version of Twitter isn't censoring and banning people for wrongthink. The people leaving are self selecting out of the idea gene pool, as opposed to being forced out.

I jumped on Bluesky, Mastodon and Threads during earlier exodi. They all waned for various reasons (Mastodon was slow and unreliable, Threads was basically an Instagram feed of nothingness, and Bluesky was dead at the time).

This wave does feel very different though. People joining in large numbers (I gained more followers in a day than in a year on Mastodon). The Bluesky app itself is actually very nice. Twitter is becoming more and more unbearable with the force-feeding of ads and totally broken search (that's without even mentioning the post-election environment).

You might be right, but I do feel like this time is different. Let's check back in 12 months and see.

Does a bear relieve himself in the woods?
I don't understand though. Someone else brought up trepanation, but pre-modern humans lived in environment where they banged there head around a lot and it may have led to better outcomes for some people to get a hole in their skull so they retained it as a cultural practice. Why would a bunch of people decide, up until 1950 or so, that it was a good idea to rub snow into your feet when they were frostbitten just because it was some practice with no strong basis in reality. The alternative is doing nothing, so what would this do that would at least make people think it was working? Because it had to look like it was working, even if it really wasn't.

Most of the Trump-sphere's donations and organization came from Andressen (the A in A16Z), David Sacks (especially during his fundraiser last year that was a who's who of YC and VCs), and Thiel.

They are all in support of Lina Khan's position on anti-trust, as it aligns closely with the vision of LTSE (YC S17) plus their grudge/annoyance at the fact that late stage acquisitions don't benefit early stage investors as much as an IPO or SPAC, plus their annoyance at how early stage investors can't take advantage of the IPO "Pop".

This has been a major fissure in the tech industry for almost a decade at this point.

To be fair, Horowitz (the Z in A16Z) donated to Harris's campaign to lobby for the same thing as well.

This is probably not the whole picture, and I have a very Rust-centric view of this, but I'll take a stab at it.

The correct analogue for Lisp macros is not C++ templates, but the C preprocessor itself. Specifically, a Lisp macro gets to take a particular section of code and change it as it wishes, with everything already conveniently tokenized for the programmer's convenience. Imagine if you could just write your own C preprocessor as part of your program and have the compiler automatically execute it on specific program areas that want your preprocessing.

Rust macros work similarly to this, the main difference being your syntax needs to be tokenizable as Rust instead of Lisp. But they're also rather powerful. So, for example, in Rust you only have one object system which has structs, traits, and very limited higher-kindedness[0]. But there's plenty of other object systems Rust would like to interop with: Objective-C, Swift, COM, and C++ among others.

The canonical way of doing this in Rust is to write a macro[1] that takes your class definition and converts it into a series of structs, traits, and/or function pointers that suitably interop with the foreign code. Code outside the macro then can reference the class created by the system.

If you don't have macros, your other options are:

- Metaclasses, which are the canonical way in Python of doing foreign object interfaces, though with an added wrinkle: multiple inheritance from classes of different metaclasses requires writing a combined metaclass that does both. In macros you usually just can't mix them like that, though I doubt you'd need to define a single class accessible from, say, both Objective-C and Windows COM.

- Write your own damned preprocessor. This is what Qt did with MOC (metaobject compiler) to get signals and slots[2]. If C++ had macros, Trolltech probably would have written MOC as a macro instead of a separate build step with a separate C++ tokenizer.

[0] A concept which I will not be explaining in this post, but it has to do with things like generic associated types which were needed for lifetime bounds on async traits

[1] Usually a "procedural macro", which is different from the pattern-matching macros Rust usually teaches in ways that don't matter here

I agree with authors take of writing on your own blog and then posting to network(s) for engagement. If your crowd moves its social platform then you move too. Platform independence and you choose what to "push" just like you choose what to share during IRL conversations. Platforms that own the data are farming the users.

> I'm paying ~$7/month to own my own fediverse identity, which seems cheap to me.

I very much agree with you in owning your identity on this sort of thing, but I wouldn't pay $7/mo in order to participate in any social network.

I have my own email domain, and I can host it myself, or have someone else host it for me, on shared infrastructure. Fastmail charges me ~$4/mo, and that's for email, something anyone on the internet requires in order to interact with online services. I think $4/mo for a communications necessity is reasonable, and there are cheaper (even free) providers if I wanted to go that route. $7/mo for a social network is nuts.

I'm not sure how services like togethr.party work, but is it safe to assume that they have to spin up a completely new copy of the server software for each domain? That seems like a big problem, and is probably why this is so expensive.

I recently set up my own Matrix instance (using Synapse) and found it to be pretty wasteful, resource-wise. This is a solved problem with email servers, where one server can host as many domains as you have storage and processing power for; not sure why the chat/social platforms haven't caught up architecture-wise.
