Almost all deterministic automation also has error rates. The error rates were higher in the past to the order of magnitudes, but we got better at creating reliable software.

We’re judging an entirely new segment of development after only 2 years of it being actively in public. And overall, LLMs have gotten exponentially better.

Show HN: I made a sliding crossword puzzle
I loved playing the sliding puzzle Rush Hour as a kid and love making crosswords now, so I decided to combine the two with some Wordle mechanics. I've queued up enough daily puzzles to last the rest of the year, and hope you enjoy solving!

Some fun-for-me considerations:

- In normal number/picture sliding puzzles, half the configurations are unsolvable (Numberphile has a pretty good video on why this is). But having duplicate letters means that even if you are left with a single inversion in a 5x5 sliding puzzle (which usually indicates that the puzzle is unsolvable), you can often get out of it by switching duplicate letters.

- I'm not very good at math though, so if anyone can tell me the conditions under which switching duplicate tiles reverses parity, I'd love to know! Just in case all configurations aren't solvable, I ran some code to shuffle the tiles with legal moves when I set the daily puzzles.

- I'm very new to game design (this is my first one), but I've always enjoyed games and puzzles that can scratch both sides of my brain. Hope that comes across in this one!

Agreed. Rat populations have regulatory mechanisms that generally prevent them from overshooting with respect to the resources available in their environment.

>In my field, there’s an equation that best explains rat population size. Simplified, it states: Garbage in = rats out. When food is plentiful, there’s no check on growth. When the cycle of regular feeding has been broken, then rats will disperse, injure, kill and even consume one another.

Rat colonies are the exception, they usually live as "nuclear families", separated from each other. Walk 100m away from a metro station with trashcans containing a dozen of rats near the entrance, and you'll find rat families, not colonies.

However the damages they can cause when they settle inside our houses tend to let us think this is their default modus operandi, and as a consequence we tend to project an exterminatory mindset onto situations where they are not problematic–and I'd even add: situations where they are a necessity.

In particular, if you have a compost box, you'll have a rat family settle nearby, and you shouldn't obsess over it unless you have good reason to fear an invasion (it already happened or you have crops drying in a shed, or something like that).

Saying this as someone who both owned rats at some point and have a dachsund/pinscher who killed hundreds.
I’ve worked all over Europe in the games industry as did some of my long-term friends. Relocating for employment is a broader discussion but from a regulatory perspective, it just involves driving a car. No visas, no national insurance registration, no right to work worries, etc.

Yes, salaries vary but not much in companies hiring at the global level.

The point of comparison was not the US, but pre-EU Europe as the claim in the comment I responded to was that the single market is a myth. It is not.

I don’t think Germans buy German, Poles buy Polish, etc. Many Europeans drive German cars and many play Polish games like Cyberpunk 2077, French games like Dishonored and what Ubisoft makes. Many use Scandinavian banks and so on.

Regarding employment, you are right that it is still not effortless, but you can often be employed in one EU country and live in another. This used to be called being a frontier worker I believe. With remote work, that label isn’t used anymore. But yes, living in Lithuania you’d want to be employed in Germany probably in your situation. Before Brexit, I lived in England and was employed in Italy — no problem aside from getting a taxpayer ID of sorts in Italy which was a minor hassle (mostly slow process).

I really didn’t face much of the issues people present in this thread while moving around in the last few decades. Nor have my friends. One year they work in Oslo, the other in Lisbon, then in Warsaw. Some start their own companies to contract all over Europe as supplier agreements are relatively easy from a tax perspective. I think this whole moving around Europe concern is something solved by filling out some forms for 8 hours every year and maybe paying a local accountant sometimes to sort out taxes.
Trade balance shows US doesn't produce that much others wants to buy while others produce a lot of things US wants to buy. You almost never see "Made in USA" outside of USA, except some agricultural products like almonds from California.
Split-brain scenarios can be resolved using an odd number of nodes (or voters) to achieve a majority consensus to agree on the state of the system, stopping the services on the minority side to prevent conflicting operations. Once communication is restored, the stopped nodes can rejoin the cluster and synchronize their data. Vector clocks are a great abstraction for ensuring correct ordering as well.

English was European before the EU existed and will still be after it is gone

the EU tries very hard to conflate itself with "Europe", but it is not Europe

it is a political entity that happens to be based in Europe, and one that does not even represent a majority of the European population

it does not get to decide what is and what is not European
Indeed. And on a site with 611 Million monthly active users, that means 0.01% are deactivating their accounts each day. 3% after a year. Sounds insiginificant to me.

While I fully understand and agree with you, there is an alternative take. Namely, given that cloud provider offerings are mostly incompatible, what you call "cloud-native" could as well be called "vendor lock-in".

The CNCF approach basically says, instead of just running your software in a traditional way, you run it in containers which run in the cloud, mostly managed by k8s which is the most popular even though not the simplest container orchestration platform. So what makes them truly "cloud native" vs "AWS/GCP/Azure-native" is that you can run them on any cloud, even private.

Also, again, if it’s bad, nobody will use it, and product will die. In those theoretical scenarios companies that have lower error rate (and don’t use AI) will win the market.

NB: Saddam Hussein was, at least nominally, tried and executed, not assassinated:

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Execution_of_Saddam_Hussein>

I'm not claiming that the trial / execution adhered to any particular standards, just that as an example of an extrajudicial killing the story's a bit shaky.

There are other examples to choose from, including the utterly nonjudicial killings of Osama bin Laden (by US forces) or Muammar Gaddafi (by Libyan rebels with at least notional US support). There's a long list of US targeted assassinations as well, from Anwar al-Awlaki (2010), with another 35 intended targets and 200 killed, see: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Targeted_killing#Use_by_United...>.

(I'm also not litigating the appropriateness of those actions, rather they're offered as instances where the US government has acted within recent memory to kill designated enemies without judicial process.)

Agreed. "For one week, an average of 60K per day left the platform." So... 420K that week (feels appropriate, lol). That's a bit under 0.1%. With 600M reported users, X can do this every day for 27 years.

They're trying to insult you, not provide you with anecdotal information so that you can have a broader view of the world.
"Lot's of people have tough lives, and things like minimum wage can help these people," is something I can potentially get behind. "You're a privileged sitter. Your kind control society yet refuse minimum wage increases, demonstrating a lack of empathy" just alienates me. I struggle to understand this the benefit of this framing outside of in-group virtue signalling.
What US executives have been so prosecuted in recent memory? And specifically for abuses of the public, not of financial frauds affecting shareholders or lenders.

Examples from the healthcare, banking, pharmaceutical (notably Purdue) or petrochemical industries might be particularly appropriate.

My read of the street is that the institution of law and courts has been assessed as insufficient and/or terminally dysfunctional.

I guess I have a physicist mindset but basically I feel that these things are within margin of error. We're talking 20%, 40%, whatever. And because the lifestyle is so different it's hard to compare directly, it depends on your personal vision of what you want in life, as I mentioned some people want Paris, some people want the mountains.

I do think that if you're going to live in a Big City(tm) then the old world just does cities better. Then again I haven't visited SF, just NYC.

Job security isn't something I've ever cared about in my life. Starting from zero (no parental wealth), beyond about age 20-22 I've always had a minimum of six months savings, who cares, just find another job. It's business, you're not married. If you're an actual adult and you need a job continuously to get by you've fucked up somewhere.

It kind of just feels like a leverage decision, anyone middle class or above has a net worth in the x00k's, it's just about whether you have anything liquid vs locked up in home value etc.

If you have 0 in the bank then unless you're in North Korea or something you have bigger issues than "which country has better QoL" in my opinion, you need to work on yourself first.
>That is not living paycheck to paycheck by any reasonable definition

Well then now we know that the media will happily use unreasonable definitions to bolster stats for click bait stories and headlines.

People assume paycheck to paycheck means "Spending each paycheck entirely on absolute necessities to live" but the survey definition is "Do you save any money from your take home pay every pay period".

This is how you get people at every income level reporting they live paycheck to paycheck.
The people advocating to replace suburban homes in the Bay Area with multiplexes, low rises, etc., do seem to want to ‘come take your suburban house away’?

It’s been mentioned many times on HN in regards to Palo Alto, Atherton, Cupertino, etc… and often times not for altruistic motives either.
Sorry, I assumed this statement you made was correct: "real wages have only increased 2% annualized since 2019."

A 3% increase over 5 years is not bad at all. Go look at historical data or data from other places if you would like more information.
Is choice a fact? The point of the quote is that we do not know. It SEEMS like we have free will but this could be an illusion. Where do our desires and motivations come from? I have always had a strong desire to build things, either physical objects or mental ones (like code). These desires push me to make choices in my life, like pursuing the career I have. But did I choose my motivations? I’m not sure. I don’t remember choosing them. They are just feelings I have, and in some cases, can’t remember not having.

I am a scientist. Truth has a specific meaning to me. I’m not sure we share the same definition. That does not make either of us “evil.”
English is still the most widely spoken foreign language in the EU. And with UK out, it would be an almost neutral choice for a common language.

There is one other analysis that would, I suspect, adjust the OP’s conclusions: age. Hypothesis: sitters vs standers, and other measures of the quality of the job (danger, flexibility…) correlate substantially with the age of the worker. As you go from your teens to 20s to 30s and beyond you tend on average to get better jobs. It’s not absolute, but I bet it’s a very strong trend, perhaps stronger than racial factors. That’s a hypothesis I wish this analysis examined.

The median human is largely uninformed and irrational, so it's universally true regardless of a specific election outcome.
Percentages are not enough to get a full picture. If I make 100k a year, the person making 50k will need to see a 2x increase in their percentage gain to see the same amount gained in currency. I would take a small bump of a large number over a large bump of a small number any day. And the reality is that the disparity is much higher when you’re talking about the bottom 20 and top 20, and just gets exponentially worse from there.
It’s also very common to be delusional.
I don't think clothing is any more boring than computers or photography or painting or drawing or running or cooking or martial arts or reading or woodworking or cars or makeup or any other hobby. Which is not to say all of those interest me, but is to say any field is going to be interesting to some but not to all.

For my case, for most of my life I hated thinking about clothes, hated anything other than big hoodies/jeans/jackets, saw it as purely utilitarian. Eventually after some soul searching and realizations/some new medication, I have discovered that I quite like using my clothing to express myself, my mood, what I'm doing, and so on.

Fast fashion is very dumb though in my opinion. No reason to be wasteful and throw things away, but there's a middle space that can be very rewarding to explore - the first time I put on a skirt was quite literally life changing.

Until recently, Firefox was quite slow but with the Quantum release they addressed it somewhat. From a user perspective, I say, if you like it, trust Mozilla, don't care about what they have become, you're fine. In my opinion, it's only downhill from here. That said, I think they did a good job over the years on security, the containers are neat, however the profile design in Chromium is probably superior. The majority of Web security research comes from Google, they invest deeply into security, although it doesn't matter as much because they're also cooperating with the industry, coordinated release is a thing, etc. The cache model specifically is more powerful in Chromium; memory usage is often touted as advantage for Firefox, but it's a statement on how Chromium cache model is superior more than anything.

I'm not sure what "aspects of the browser experience" you're referring to specifically, but I would guess it's probably marginal as in terms of Web standards Firefox is playing catch-up. It took them a long time to implement JIT in the engine at the point when V8 had it for years; touted as a huge accomplishment, and it was—considering how it's so hard to work with Firefox codebase. There's a dedicated group of developers punching above their weight, unfortunately they're at a disadvantage.
No, we might be having this discussion on mars instead of iPhones.

None of our elites care about:
a) 99% of us living a meaningful life
b) technologically moving humanity forward (supports bullet a)

Install elites that care about those and then you can use any measure you want, any system you want, etc. Instead we’ve replaced god with money. Only an upgrade for the 1%.
> As an aside, hats off to Google to being able to serve an 11 year old video with no noticeable delay from what must be the coldest of caches.

And remember that depending if you visited with an iphone, or an android, or a smart TV, or a Chromecast, they'd be needing to serve the video with different encoding settings/codecs/MPEG profiles. So for the hardly ever watched videos, they either need to keep transcoded copies in 10+ formats, all ready to serve with no latency for years, or be ready to live transcode.

the fact there is no EU single market for services is why I was not concerned on a long term basis for the UK economy as a result of leaving the EU

the UK is a service based economy, all growth from the next century is going to come from services, not by increasing cheese exports or trying to compete with the Chinese on battery production

almost all UK startups branch out to the US before they try the continent

I have no interest in developing "native" applications and engaging with the two-party app stores. So yes, I really wish Safari had implemented Push API, so that iOS users are able to use the same capabilities that my other users are already enjoying. However, they have no choice; as Apple disallows any browser engines besides Safari WebView, they're only allowed to have capabilities that Apple deems worth implementing themselves. I'm even more interested in WebUSB so that iOS users could use USB security hardware like my other users can, and the best iOS users can do for the time being is Yubikey, and they cannot even do PGP, or PIV without installing walled software. That said, I'm up for whatever, ANYTHING, as long as I don't have to interact with Google/Apple to deliver my code.

They're going to be members of the American Medical Association and likely at least one of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, the American Board of Orthopedic Surgeons, and/or the American Council for Graduate Medical Education. The difference between these organizations and unions pretty much starts and ends with "negotiate collectively with your employer directly" because they all (especially the AMA and ACGME) act to keep salaries and prestige high.

They're not a union member the same way a teacher, police officer, or steam fitter is but they're not as far removed as your typical programmer, for example.
