Interesting library, but i see it falls back into what happens to almost all SIMD libraries, which is that they hardcode the vector target completely and you cant mix/match feature levels within a build. The documentation recommends writing your kernels into DLLs and dynamic-loading them which is a huge mess https://jfalcou.github.io/eve/multiarch.html

Meanwhile xsimd (https://github.com/xtensor-stack/xsimd) has the feature level as a template parameter on its vector objects, which lets you branch at runtime between simd levels as you wish. I find its a far better way of doing things if you actually want to ship the simd code to users.
The anecdote regarding the Xcode + Swift compiler speed benchmarks leads one to suggest that, while you may have felt bullied by your colleague, he was, in fact, taking the correct approach, given the wider picture of Xcode and its developer experience on slower Apple hardware (including those devices with Fusion drives).

Sometimes, quiet confidence is a good rule to follow at the outset, even if you feel your opinion has merit - it's much easier to navigate quiet success than public failure in a politicized work environment. This is particularly important when you're new to a career and may not yet have the confidence and/or experience to endure the fallout from an irate colleague whose "style" (intentionally quoted, btw) precludes the niceties you may have been used to in your previous work / research environment.

I've been there, on both sides, though it always helps to be kind whenever possible, to be able to traverse the graph of complexity within the appropriate public discussion or private one-on-one.
Meta and factchecking - everyone outside US would see this as an impossible combination.

Meta is a business, and only does what benefits the business. That is why no one should rely on fact-checking done by Meta.

Not that facts matter much anymore anyway...
Costs money. (Probably not a lot, but you know the drill: to a large company, any expense is treated as a threat, no matter how small.)
Good post. I chose to only implement magic links in a previous project and had an issue with users complaining that the (one-time) link would always be expired when they clicked. I could not reproduce it and just left it. Then this thread appeared and I instantly knew the problem: email client previews. Lesson learnt.
I imagine they'll be shutting down their advertising systems too, since those are so complex as well.

I have seen one behavior with ATS that was actually tracked down and might hit fellow HN readers. A recruiter I worked with at a company asked me why I didn’t have any experience with artificial intelligence. I said it was all over my resume - I’ve been in the field for more than a decade. He said that it didn’t show up until that ATS.

It turned out the ATS didn’t properly parse ligatures like “ffi”, “fi”, etc. It rendered them as a blank space, so “artificial” became “arti cial”. I turned over ligature rendering in my resume and started to get more callbacks.

Upon further inspection, I discovered that a lot of LLMs also have problems with ligatures and just ignore them when fed a pdf.

So, maybe those annoying job apps where you upload a resume and still have to fill everything in an HTML form aren’t the worst thing.
You describe the toxicity I have experienced working in the product team vs a platform team.

If you don't find it interesting to build products with whatever tool is most adequate (excel some times) maybe you should not work at a company building products. At least you should understand that you are part of the support team not the main guy.

And yes, moving to GitHub from Jenkins is maybe objectively a good choice. But if it stalls product development for 6 months, is that objectively-objectively a smart move? It could of course be, but it requires more situational awareness than "is this tool better".

I would guess that the negative consequences of widespread adoption of full gestation out of the womb would be much worse than the consequences of epidurals and C-sections. There's evidence that epidurals are actually worse for maternal mortality, since the epidural disrupts the natural birthing process, leading moms to need C-sections, which increase mortality. The moms I know have had better, less traumatic and painful, birthing experiences by working with coaches that help them understand and listen to their body through the process.

Being around those moms, especially my wife, it's fascinating to learn about how pregnancy is the foundation of mother-child bonding. So it's easy to see how artificial wombs would be much worse. I guess that's the point of Brave New World, how destructive the loss of that and other bonds is.

Unfortunately there is no party of "the working man" since the citizens united ruling opened the floodgates for legal & private bribery, and arguably before that. Bernie Sanders, whatever you think of his proposals and views generally, is the rare exception who stands against the bribery and acts as a true populist, and for that he was undermined and defeated as a presidential candidate. People know the democratic party is two-faced, and I don't see how that can ever change, with money being so essential to US politics now.

Before I moved to Berlin, I worked out of the Ruoholahti office as well (2005-2009) while in Nokia research. The same building had a lot of the maemo people as well. Fun place to be at the time.

I walked past there a few months ago when I visited Helsinki. Huawei has an office there now. And their presence there is not some coincidence. They were hiring a lot of Nokia people during and after the Nokia implosion. Probably lots of people in that building are former colleagues that also worked there while I was there.

After I moved to Berlin, firewall ports were indeed a big part of the ongoing frustrations with getting shit done via Nokia IT. Of course, those issues got escalated via several layers of management and then resolved anyway. Part of the friction here was that the maps unit was basically something that came into being via several acquisitions. So, there were a lot of new people trying to get shit done being blocked by silly issues like this that lost patience with all that pretty quickly.

Most of these Herculean efforts involved lots of non technical people from both sides having to have meetings with each other about a firewall rule until finally somebody high enough up the ladder inevitably told them to just "open the ffing port already and stop wasting my time" and forced the issue that way. I'm not paraphrasing here, I'm pretty sure that was a literal quote from a meeting; I know some people that got dragged into those meetings regularly.

Anyway, enough egos were bruised and solutions were found that didn't involve having Nokia IT on the critical part to anything important. Which is how AWS happened. That went from "WTF? Can they even do that?!" to "well, that actually happened" to "Oh wait this is so much less painful! Cheaper too." in the span of a few months. There was no way that Nokia IT was going to be allowed to get back on the critical path to anything.
> The production value is quite high now and still improving so I don't see why the illicit rave experience would be so interesting when the facilities would be so lacking in comparison

A few reasons:

1. security at official music events are often complete arseholes and can totally destroy the vibe. Think of all the row rent chip on their shoulder wannabe cops, then place them in a field of drunk partying adults with complete power and almost zero oversight (+)

2. Advertising everywhere

3. Massively overpriced food and drink

(+) While I fully understand that once you've got multiple thousands of humans in a field, you do need security, at small illegal raves - say a few hundred people - there's no need and the vibe without feeling like you're being watched is spectacular.
Invading Greenland just seems a silly distraction.

But if you are Meta, which picked the non-Trump stance at the end of his prior termp, and are also a direct competitor to the Musk-owned Twitter, you really have to fall in line and get rid of any semblance of being anti-Trump and hire key Trump supporters to very senior well paid positions etc.

Else you will be the big bad enemy the new administration can focus all popular anger at.

This is an interesting take on debouncing, but I found the choice of TV remotes as an example a bit confusing. From my understanding, the issues with remote controls aren’t typically caused by bouncing in the mechanical sense but rather by the design of the IR communication. Most remotes transmit commands multiple times per second (e.g., 9–30 times) intentionally, and the receiver handles these signals based on timing choices.

If there are problems like double channel jumps or missed commands, it’s more about how the receiver interprets the repeated signals rather than a classic switch debounce issue. There’s definitely a similarity in handling timing and filtering inputs, but it seems like the core issue with remotes is different, as they must already handle repeated commands by design.
Grok made better job of explaining different solutions in micropython environment. Summary:

* Task Parallelism and Multi-threading are good for computational tasks spread across the ESP32's dual cores.

* Asynchronous Programming shines in scenarios where I/O operations are predominant.

* Hardware Parallelism via RMT can offload tasks from the CPU, enhancing overall efficiency for specific types of applications.

Basically by having an independent Central Bank, a country's people surrender their democratic power to determine monetary policy in favor of a cabal of bankers. The idea that the FED or any other "Central Bank" is an independent arbiter of money stuff in an angelical cloud is one of the most naive illusions they ever sold people.

The only thing an independent central bank is independent from, is from the democratic will.
Because the author uses Berlin as an example. As a millenial that grew up in Berlin, I just think that the hype about, what used to be alternative, mainstream clubs is flattening. Especially techno and electro clubs. They are just not as great as social media wants you think they are.

People who love the music will go their for the music and will keep going. Social media folks that go there for the drugs and epic party will lose interest, because it's not as epic as they think it is.

Apart from that other alternative clubs are just doing fine (I am going mostly to drum and bass parties). Even though they got less. But I think the club dying there was because of other reasons, not the missing audience

The administration was in disarray and had no clear goals aside from self-enrichment. They had no real architects, merely speakers and figureheads. While it's likely that ineptitude and wheel spinning is going to occur this time as well, this round's a bit different. Despite being fools they've surrounded themselves with somewhat competent people, unlike before when they just grabbed whoever spent the most money at hotels and press events.

Even more dangerous is they have shown signs of boredom and disinterest in certain areas which would likely allow the unimpeded progression of oppression by those in the administration most motivated to do so. In 2017 there was also a less united front within the federal government as many ideas were considered fringe, but politics in the U.S. has been shoved very far to the right in the intervening years and the Republican party as a majority has embraced being extremists instead of the extremists being a tiny but loud faction.

This is due to the two party system creating a fitness system which necessitates that factions either overtake a party or leave it as otherwise they get no votes, and older party members dying out and leaving seats open to the newer extremists who get an outsized amount of power because the party as a whole needs to vote collectively for a majority decision and just a handful of people can halt that entirely.

EDIT: Moved "unimpeded" so that it clarified who I was talking about.
To me the giveaway is the decline in sexual experience among young people. This is like a top line KPI for youth culture and socialization since when people have a lot of positive social interaction and mutual bonding experiences they tend to have sex.

Loads of people have commented on these trends. I’m not pointing out anything new, but I do think a lot of people don’t see it because it’s hidden behind a facade of very visible socially liberal movements that garner attention out of proportion to their numbers. These folks do not represent the mean or the median of the culture.

If you are in the Bay Area or LA or really any metro California city that isn’t a deep suburb your experience might be different. These areas have always been more liberal than the average and enduringly so. The SF Bay was where gay people could go back when there was not just a strong taboo but in many cases real persecution.

Edit: with the last election I think the conservative zeitgeist is going to finally crest, and probably inspire a backlash that will start the pendulum going the other way. Things like politics are the lagging end. There’s also a backlash brewing against social media including dating apps, which are one of the drivers for both youth alienation and promulgation of reactionary attitudes. Right wing cultural fear mongering has excellent memetic fitness on social media.

A nice cosmological model [pdf]
This is a cool not-so-new cosmological model to get rid of the dark matter/energy issue, by providing a better theory.

In summary, the big bang generated both matter and antimatter, and those 2 are only interacting throught repulsive gravitational force. A fun project would be to reproduce the computation experiment done by the author which recreated the spiral structure of galaxies using the law : positive matter attracts positive matter, negative matter attracks negative matter, positive and negative repulse each other.

I like to be solo sometimes but most of the time i do prefer working in teams.
Working in teams (regardless of the level of each individual) is the best way to grow up as an engineer/whatever, you can learn from more talented one as you can learn from junior by guiding them, also considering that confronting with other help you to watch at things in a different way.
Fact checking is totally thankless work, because you'll get comments like this pretending it doesn't happen, and comments from both sides of the political aisle accusing you of prioritizing the other side.

Doing fact checking in a way that satisfies everyone is an intractable problem. I'd abandon it too. As a shareholder, this is just good business sense and I'm glad they did this. If y'all care so much about the facts you can contribute to Community Notes yourself.
And community notes won't?

But then wisdom is recognizing it's AP Physics, not common sense, that put a cow on the Moon.

There may not be perfectly spherical cows in the real world, but then real cows will also do X, to the extent their non-perfect-spheriness doesn't interfere with it. Theorists don't simplify for the sake of simplifying, they're trying to study specific components of the whole in isolation. Yes, it's important to not confuse a component for the whole thing, but then it's also important to know the most impactful components and how they behave.

>Are we basically left with 3 authoritarian empires in play: USA, Russia, China, each with critical different weaknesses they will want to use against the other?

Insert the "it always has been" meme here. Except there aren't 3 authoritarian empires at play. Neither Russia nor China really seem interested in expansionism beyond their immediate sphere of influence (which, to be fair, describes the regional land grabs Trump seems to be threatening) and both are outclassed by the US military by orders of magnitude. It makes people more comfortable to believe they live in a multipolar world, because that implies global stability through force and counterforce, but there is only one authoritarian empire in the world of note and that is the US.

The Western world is just getting a taste of what it's been like for everyone else to deal with the knife-edge of Pax Americana. Just a few idle threats from Trump are enough to scare everyone, wait until the missiles darken your skies because the US has decided to "liberate" your resources from you.
