This is what makes creating these performing structures so hard - once the incentives to "show ownership to demonstrate performance and get promoted" is permitted in the organization, people have to "play to stay at the table" and the actual necessary work ethic gets displaced. There should be a clear realisation that creating a moral maze is a taboo, and it is very hard for leaders to stick to that throughout the growth of an org.

Man, TTD music was the only management game that made me HYPE to get down to managing.

From the article:

> Generative AI is leading to real business growth and transformation. Among enterprise companies with gen AI in production, 86% report an increase in revenue1, with an estimated 6% growth.

Most of that business growth is going to be in more vapid media for more effective advertising, which is why Google is investing in it. Is that really a good thing for anyone? I mean, of course it provides short-term economic gain for some but that is only because we are constantly modifying society to make it more lucrative to push consumerism as a way of life. We need less of this AI trash, not more.

To be honest I am absolutely sick of this sort of technology that wastes enormous amount of energy, makes us more dependent on using more energy (which in some places that will be fossil-fuel use), and which does not give us any real benefit, especially if we consider that we could instead work on transitioning to a lower-energy economy.

I believe long into the future, if someone looks back at us, companies like Google will be seen as the height of stupidity of humankind. If we have any intelligence left, we should dismantle this AI machine before it's too late.

Eh. Retail is only one type of business. The fraction of businesses that are small fluctuates by a couple percent here and there but isn’t on some long term decline.

How is it to our long term benefit to continue paying more for goods forever? Maybe we’re just better off in a world where industries that have severe economies of scale like retail get consumed by the big guys so we all save money, and small businesses keep fixing the pipes, designing our graphics, etc.

I don't think the shipping is about infrastructure, but I don't know what it is. You can get a 40 foot shipping container (~2400 cubic feet) shipped half way around the world for ~$4k, yet try to ship a cubic foot of volume using any normal commercial shipping service, and you'll probably pay $100+.

Perhaps I'm missing something, but if not then the shipping market is just completely broken and begging for disruption.
In Europe the terrorist attacks and crime is real though, that doesn't happen much in the US but in Europe it happens quite a lot since the immigrants are different.

It is abstraction hell, and will set you back thousands of engineers hours the moment you want to do something differently.

RAG is actually very simple thing to do; just too much VC money in the space & complexity merchants.

Best way to learn is outside of notebooks (the hard parts of RAG is all around the actual product), and use as little frameworks as possible.

My preferred stack is a FastAPI/numpy/redis. Simple as pie. You can swap redis for pgVector/Postgres when ready for the next complexity step.

Such deep nostalgia for this game. But also deep nostalgia for the days when I had time to play this game. OpenTTD LAN party in the retirement home in a few decades, anyone?
I've written a good amount of makefiles (and even one rather complex one.. before replacing it with a thing written in an actually sane language, bootstrapped by a stripped down version of the makefile), and I still mix up $@ $< $> or whatever else my brain comes up with. And this is coming from someone deep into array languages, which have entire sets of unicode glyphs.

For how often one typically writes/looks at build scripts, remembering the specifics about makefiles is quite likely to not be worth the effort.

Makefiles start becoming incredibly awful if you want to do anything outside of pure computations in the separate targets. Making the target directory requires either putting the mkdir call in each separate built thing (awfully redundant), introducing a whole another rule (and still adding it as a dependency on every rule that'll be outputting to said directory), doing some recursive make, or running it outside of rules (but putting it under a proper if statement is likely pain). That's a bunch of awful solutions to something that really really really should just be a single calls to mkdir in any sane system.

Another horrifically awful thing is if you want some reused data across rules (e.g. pkg-config results, current OS/arch). You can put them as globals, but that'll make them be calculated always, even if no build target needs them, unless you put them under an if, which is again non-trivial to get the condition correctly for. This becomes super bad if you do recursive make stuff.

More generally, makefiles start out simple, but doing anything that's not strictly simple is gonna be pain, at the very least requiring looking at docs of a thing you'll probably never use again, and debuggability is also very low (amusingly, '-p' and '--debug' break on recursive make, seemingly losing some variables; and '-n' requires copying out & running the recursive call to get to the actually important part; and afaict none of those help with figuring out why a thing didn't build).

And you're completely SOL if you wanted to do things like reorder compilations based on how long they previously took, or want a nice display of currently-compiling things.
> bit strange when you only hear from people once every few years, just as they need an intro or career advice or whatever

This might out me as a psycopath, however, cut to the f'ing chase. If it is a transactional conversation don't insult my intelligence by pretending that it isn't. Obvioulsy this can create a problem as I tend towards "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you".

If something is within my means and the person hasn't made it onto my shit list I love to help out, it's what makes getting up in the morning worth while. Unfortunately we are all far more powerless than anyone can imagine and actually being able to do more than point people in the right direction, offer advice or just talk to someone is incredibly rare.

This isn't an easy message to compose, let alone to post for all to see. I'm a young academic and US expat teaching Sanskrit as an adjunct in Germany and mostly taking on English language teaching side gigs to get by. The holiday season is always particularly tough because the main English teaching jobs I depend on end in November and don't start up again until February or March. Sanskrit teaching is my passion. It doesn't pay very much, but it's important to me to keep the tradition of Sanskrit scholarship in the west alive in an environment where most Indology/South Asian studies programs across Europe, the UK, and the US are downsizing if not shutting down completely. I probably don't need to go over the precarious lives of adjunct teachers, HN readers will be familiar with the topic from the many articles dealing with it which have appeared on here over the years. $200 for food to carry me over to February would be an immense help. Any questions can be directed at idkwh0 at proton dot me.

Also, taken at face value this quote is unadulterated bullshit:

> Among enterprise companies with gen AI in production, 86% report an increase in revenue, with an estimated 6% growth.

Zero causation. The average company reporting 6% growth is par for the course in the current age of growth at all costs. There is nothing in this statement to indicate that presence of GenAI pet projects helps improve growth.
I love this very much and strongly agree: I hate receiving those sheepish catch ups, especially when I anticipate an ask coming. In fact, if I sense I want to make an ask but I haven't spoken with someone in a long time, I just won't ask them for the thing because we don't have that context/rapport yet: it's a way of honoring them.

Continuing to make it practical, one thing that has served me well was to maintain a list of friends (I still do this) and text them at least once every day just following up or checking in. Some like it, some don't. For those that don't, that's their choice. The topics around abandoning lost causes kind of apply there: not that these people are lost causes, but daily checkins are. That's okay, to each their own. :)

"NAT Device" = "Firewall" (in this context) = "What you'd normally have with a public address plus the translation part".

There tends to be conflation that somehow you need an additional device to filter you've not had in place before. In order to do NAT a device has to be at the edge of your network (your device or the ISPs) which tracks connection states to automatically translate outbound ones and allow the reverse mappings through while that is open. Getting rid of NAT simply means dropping the "translate" part from that device. The conntrack and allow outbound initiated connection part remains. Instead of port forwards for inbounds you just have inbound allows. There is no big swap of security roles between devices or special additional configuration needed, just the independent removal of the translation configuration from the device.
> Almost nobody likes this development,

Most people don't even care, since now there are so many more independent sources of easily accessible information than anyone could have envisioned 40 years ago.

In fact, of decades of being in tech, having a lot of friends and connections, I don't know I have even heard one friend lament this, ever. Compare that to the many topics I regularly hear people worry about, or the hundreds of conversations on various repeating topics, I find it way out of touch to think this topic is that big to nearly anyone.

> Almost everyone except politicians is critical of big corporations

Also not true. I suspect you're in some 20s aged echo chamber?

> Without regulation, small businesses will not be able to compete with the giants.

Regulation historically serves to entrench big business since they can more easily afford to ensure they meet regulations, and can amortize legal and employment issues than mom and pop stores.

> leaving small mom-and-pop businesses by the wayside.

The fact is that small businesses have increased much more rapidly in the last decade than perhaps ever. There are over 30 million small businesses in the US, and out of a population of 345M (including infants, teens, retirees...) that is around one small business per 5 working age adults. [1] Read some about small businesses before making so many claims apparently based on poor sources.

Most of the problem there are people implementing their own timeouts in javascript instead of relying on the browser. The browser knows the difference between something taking 5m and making no progress vs. something taking 5m and making slow progress. Your application does not.
You see this happening because large corps simply are more efficient. This is why you'll see communists be against small mom and pop businesses, one in part because the proprietors hold up Capitalism as the petit bourgeois, but also because you get way more done for less by consolidating.

The main difference being you can't vote on a Corporation's behavior but theoretically, you have some say in your government's handling of state-owned industry.

At the local level in existing socialist/communist states, there's unions and local leaders who have to answer to the workers generally.

Not a perfect system, but hey, China will execute the CEO if they sell poisonous baby food. Can't say the same for whoever was responsible for the Boar's head poisonings.
> Write everything in plain JavaScript.

If you are one programmer it may work, but many of us work in teams. JS is horrible for that as you need a lot of discipline (which often does not carry over well from team to team) in order to write "good JS".

We use Elm now. Elm translates well to JS (quick to compile and Elm is designed to map well to JS). We use Elm libs, but not nearly as much as in the unholy React+jQuery (yes, that's a bad idea) code it replaces.

All is compiled into one bundle. For the browsers the result is much less to download. For us devs it is a very different development flow: once the compile errors (shown in the IDE) are gone, it just works.

Compared to the loads runtime bugs in JS, we are confident this is a huge step forward and a good foundation to build on top of.

> Having a publicly routable address absolutely does “expose” your network, which at the very least has the potential to generate load on your firewall (your problem) that would otherwise be absorbed by the NAT device (your ISP’s problem).

How is one your problem and the other your ISP's?

In both cases the bits are coming down your connection and hitting the CPE. Whether the CPE does only SPI firewalling or SPIFW+NAT seems to be irrelevant to me, as the same thing happens: packet's header tuple is examined, a state table is looked at, and the packet is passed or dropped depending on the contents.
Uh no. Most people do want large single-family homes. Maybe you’ve heard stories about the real estate market over the last 10 years?
If this is true, why do corporations lobby against regulation? Either they want more regulations to build this "moat", or they don't. If both outcomes result in a win for them, (deregulation vs moat-building by greater regulation) why spend money on lobbying?
> I lament that I never listen to the radio.

I do not, I’m sure people who lived in larger markets had access to better programming, but where I lived radio was 90%+ ads, uninteresting political commentary and sports commentary. There were a few interesting high-quality programs (hi Car Talk), but they were very much the exception even 30 years ago.

The challenge with broadcast media is you have to cater your content to the largest possible group of people, so sports and the news. I will never forget the mid 2000s when podcasting really started taking off, hearing people discussed topics and subjects that I was actually interested in was an unbelievable feeling.
