They lose their customers. TSMC succeeded because they didn't compete with their customers. When they started, they focused on making chips for others. Any other company that that had a Fab could offer the same service at the same quality back then. Yet folks choose TSMC because there was no conflict of interest. If Nvidia starts competing with their customers, that conflict of interest will force some of those customers to look else where. I suspect Nvidia is releasing these things to add value to using their GPUs, kinda like offering free tools for your OS, notepad, calculator, browser, etc

On the Ways Forward, I think we need to think through what we want from an AI. What's the point of replicating a human? We already have 8 billion of those. What's the point of an AGI? What problem are we trying to solve?

To me, the most obvious need is for domain expertise. We need experts that can assist humans with making decisions. That creates a need for the AI to "explain its work" at any level. In order to be most useful, these systems should be able to reason through scenarios based off a prioritized list of policy goals and engage in What If analysis.

We need the ability to replicate domains of knowledge, experience, and expertise. Think of an automotive AI. We need an AI to be able to learn and replicate that knowledge to other cars. The system collectively learns. Humans should be able to continue to assist with this knowledge collection.

Which leads us into robots in general, since cars are just a kind of robot in this worldview. You want the fleet to be able to get better via their collective experience. You need to be able to identify limitations of processing hardware and storage and adjust what a particular robot may "learn." Ideally, you'd have the ability to make hardware updates to your robot and it would get better.

These are the kinds of things I think we should be working on.

Even when you have a problem set bigger than Rails, keeping everything in the Rails world and using something like Sidekiq to manage most of the backend complexity. For many cases, reasonable polling works as well as event-driven architecture, but if you absolutely have to do that, one-off lambdas that talk to Sidekiq or other parts of your Rails-stack work well enough.

Buildings can be built to higher levels of wildfire resistance.

The fire spreads because burning embers are blown downwind, settling and starting new spot fires. If they get blown into a house, the house burns. You don't need to make a house fireproof to stop wildfires, but just resistant to a shower of burning embers.

I came here to say this and you beat me to it. I'd rather pay a few extra bucks a night, get a free breakfast, and not have to worry about doing a bunch of crap like loading a dishwasher before leaving (lest I get a poor rating). In some cases, I'm finding hotels are actually cheaper. My experience is mostly in the US, but I also stayed at a few hotels in England (shoutout to the Holiday Inn next to Luton airport) and was happy with those as well.
Your statement is not entirely accurate. Under the insuring agreement of a typical homeowner’s insurance policy, fire—including wildfire—is a covered peril, unless specifically excluded elsewhere in the policy. Standard policies are designed to provide coverage for direct physical loss or damage caused by fire, regardless of whether the fire is “random” or arises in wildfire-prone areas.

While some exclusions may apply to fires caused by excluded perils (e.g., floods or earthquakes) or to contributory factors like neglect, wildfires are generally not excluded in standard homeowner’s insurance policies.

This article misses the most important reason to not use Serverless: Cost. It's way more expensive to run serverless than it is to run any other format, even something like AWS Fargate is better than Lambda if you keep your Lambda running for 5% of the time.

The second one is even more important though: Time. How many of my systems are guaranteed to stop after 15 minutes or less? Web Servers wouldn't like that, anything stateful doesn't like that. Even compute-heavy tasks where you might like elastic scaling fall down if they take longer than 15 minutes sometimes, and then you've paid for those 15 minutes at a steep premium and have to restart the task.

Serverless only makes sense if I can do it for minor markup compared to owning a server and if I can set time limits that make sense. Neither of these are true in the current landscape.

We have two major parties, and several smaller ones- the Libertarian Party and the Green Party are the two largest third parties generally. However, there are also sub factions within the major political parties, so that they in fact makeup a sort of coalition of sub factions, similar to the coalitions of parties you see in other countries. This means that primaries are a super important part of the election cycle in the USA. The Primaries are like the first round of a two round system.

This is insipid. Why would Apple adopt a fork of WebKit when they’ve been using WebKit just fine for so long? Why would Apple of all companies defer to something in Google’s realm besides search?

I hate the term "serverless". It's a misnomer to the extent that it feels like it was designed to deliberately mislead. Even vague consultant-speak like "externally provisioned infrastructure" would feel more accurate.

The US has a decidedly liberal viewpoint on education. Sports ability is in some sense an educational endeavor. The ancient Greeks called it "athletics".

So US educational institutions don't really have any hangup against treating sports any differently than they might treat a CS class.

They are a subject you have to study and train at...and sometimes sit in a theatre and have a class time about (watching scout footage or deconstructing plays, etc).

Sports are probably just as rigorous as anything else academically once you get to something approaching a division 1 level of play. The reason we don't recognize it is because we suck and are mostly casual about it on a forum like this (filled with sports failures like myself or sports non-participants). The people actually in these programs with D1 scholarships and whatnot I guarantee take it as seriously as you or I would take calculus.
In the US, almost every broth or dish at an East/southeast restaurant uses shrimp/fish sauce or other animal product like beef/chicken stock.

This is horrible for people who learn languages using TV Shows and Movies. One of the most frustrating things I've encountered while learning German is the "paraphrase" thing, it makes practicing listening very hard, because my purpose wasn't to understand what was being said, but rather familiarizing my ear with spoken German.

So, knowing exactly the words being said is of utter importance.

>Ship code more consistently.

Speaking generally, for a CTO to personally ship more (non trivial code) code ... I think is such a double edged sword and even potentially dangerous.

His point 1 hits close to home, not for me personally, I'm not a CTO, but for the CTOs I worked with. CTOs shipping code that is important seems like constant pressure for the CTO to work outside the system or put off organization that the CTO should be doing. I see it time and again with heavily "involved" CTOs where they take that important task and now some other changes are held up or they just have to get it out the door so we'll try this ... oh and they're heads down this week because they took that important task so other important organizational things don't happen. Or they do the organizational thing, and the important task, AND miss the mark with the code / feature.

Personally I'm in a situation now where a great guy who was the CTO left abruptly and the rest of us are in a situation where we're picking up the pieces from all the exceptions he as CTO was empowered to allow. Things aren't documented, unexpected things show up like this code uses a weird auth pattern that seemed like a great idea and maybe was going to be used elsewhere if they just were around longer and so on. And at the time each event wasn't that bad maybe ... except it is now.

And really whose job is it to prevent that from happening? The CTO ... oh noes.

That's not everyone of course, but that level of CTO with his hand in the bits just seems constantly dangerous.

It's not so much an informed electorate as a rent-seeking one.[1] The regulatory capture [2] of obscure local boards is much easier than that of state agencies. Voters who are part of a special interest group are much more aware of what and who they're voting for. The prime example are landlords and homeowners. They have managed to strangle the supply of housing to inflate prices, creating the crisis we're in now.

I once borrowed a Windows 95 CD from a fellow student. He had brought it from China. It looked totally legit, not at all home-burned with inkjet printed cover. A true original.

The only thing that gave it away was that in addition to Windows it had Doom on it.
Totally agree.

But it's the python argument.

Python is super slow, inefficient and let's say that the build environment is not so nice.

However, it's so easy to write functioning software in python that the alternative sometimes is not more efficient code, it's no code.

Lambda, in theory, follows a similar paradigm, if you can click a button and have a service that scales to zero (with logging and monitoring) then you're more likely to make toy webhooks and tiny services. If I have to make a build pipeline and a docker container and wrangle some yaml, configure service accounts and a service definition with the right labels and annotations.

Well, that's a decent chunk of work that means I'm probably going to think a bit longer about even deploying my little toy service that might see one request a day.

Going to reiterate though: I do not advocate for serverless in production. If you seriously think you're building something that will scale, it's fiscally illiterate to use a managed serverless provider.
> That's an affront to the user. Accepting this costs users part of their dignity

I honestly love this. I want to hang out at a bar and get sloshed with you; maybe after hours at a conference. I legitimately think we'd be best buds.

As an aside though - 95% of PC users generally just don't care as long as ItWorks and its fun. It's easy to get mired in the minutia of the systems (technical and societal) instead of thinking about how it interacts with the average person.
The straw that broke this camel's back was they edited and rewrote an answer I had posted, but left my name/avatar beside what was no longer my words. That was too much for me. I wouldn't mind if they did something like "(MOD EDIT: alternate info)" or removed it if they thought it was incorrect, but I can't be having my face and name next to words I never uttered. I've never experienced that type of mod behaviour anywhere since.
Building a search engine: fast information retrieval and no ads UX
So we basically launched a first beta of a search engine some days ago and received lots of useful insights that makes us improving the general UX every day.

We still didn't convert anything to paying users but we started acquiring the first registered users and that is already a good starting point that makes us understand how to continue

The platform relies on multiple engines, mostly Brave and Google and our plan would be to improve the information retrieval without the annoying ads that fks up the UX when searching for a fast and accurate information.

The goal now is acquire as much feedback as we can and understand what community really wants in their search experience

Free Speech has nothing to do with whether information is correct or not. It's only about stopping Tyranny. No one should be allowed to control another person's speech because speech is the most basic form of freedom and if you can remove speech freedom you can remove all other freedoms too.

Isn't a shared host with php serverless for all intents and purposes?
We're all-in on serverless / cloud-native for our platform (document management); it works really well for our model, as we deploy into the customer's AWS account.

The initial development learning curve was higher, but the end result is a system that runs with high reliability in customer clouds that doesn't require customers (or us) to manage servers. There are also benefits for data sovereignty and compliance from running in the customer's cloud account.

But another upside to serverless is the flexibility we've found when orchestrating the components. Deploying certain modules in specific configurations has been more manageable for us with this serverless / cloud-native architecture vs. past projects with EC2s and other servers.

The only downside that we see is possible vendor lock-in, but having worked across the major cloud providers, I don't think it's an impossible task to eventually offer Azure and GCP versions of our platform.

One thing I notice when reading CTO/CIOs' thoughts on their role, regardless of their experience level or how they attained the position, is that those who mention being "hands-on" – that is, coding or "being technical" – often lament that being good at their job prevents them from indulging in it. I find this sentiment telling, valuable, and a marker of a good technical leader.

Those who don't mention it might be good administrators, procurement officers, or even strategists, but they don't strike me as good technical leaders. Perhaps that's still being a good CTO, but I'm not so sure.

An HN user who is a CTO/CIO of some repute at a medical company (if I recall correctly) had a comment that has stuck with me (paraphrasing): the marker of a good CTO isn't necessarily someone who is in the technical minutiae, rather someone who wants to be in the technical minutiae; someone who is technically very curious.

It's not really video (although the nature of video does annoy me too), it's the audio: poor latency, poor quality handling of multiple talkers, dropouts.

I don't think we understand each other.

We want to take one function and compile it twice:

```
namespace MEGA_MACRO {

void foo(std::span<int> s) {
super_awesome_platform_specific_thing(s);
}

} // namespace MEGA_MACRO
```

Whatever you do - the code above has to be written once but compiled twice.
In one file/in many files - doesn't matter.

My point is - I don't think you can compile that code twice if you support modules.
