Your UPS is improperly sized. A 5kW Victron Multiplus II with one Pylontech US5000 would cost you around €1600 and should be able to carry all your house, not just your printer.
> Do males have a natural advantage in sports? Do vaccines cause autism?

I won't argue about the other two, BUT.

We have facts for contact sports and for speed and strength sports, we've had these facts for millenia.

For the vaccine one, we also have facts. You're more likely to win the lottery than to get autism from them. I think they're probably the same odds as dying from a potted plant falling on your head while walking but anti vaxxers don't seem to be wearing helmets everywhere, that's so weird...
Sure, but I can't. But I can weaponize leaked/hacked data sets to bring attention and get the government to care since they don't currently seem to care about the data being collected nor it being laxly protected.
The U.S. has been 240V for over a century. It uses split phase which has opposite phases on each hot line to let you take one and connect it to neutral to get 120V. If you connect both hot lines, you get 240V. For some reason, people in Europe and other places are unaware of this despite this having been the case since electrification happened in the early 20th century.
Not necessarily, some services would have the magic link verify the session that triggered it regardless of browser or device.

>based on their input was a big part of getting their tattoos.

For me, as someone with ~70% of my body covered, I would have no problem using AI-generated images as part of that input.

I'm not just going to get whatever the model spits out as a 1:1 tattoo. But when I have a hard to describe idea, having some references in my pocket to pull out and say "something sort of like this" is helpful.
I do enjoy seeing the interesting things Lenovo put together.

Will these foldable or extendable screens for phones, tablets, and laptops be the next 3D TVs, I wonder? The extra expense for features people don't even end up using very often (or don't see huge value in for the day to day), now with the extra downside that the devices are often much harder to maintain or repair feels to me like a solid maybe. I am extremely out of touch though lol. In the same vein, are touchscreen laptops (or monitors?) for daily computing a feature people use?

Anyway, I guess I just wonder if this is a flash in the pan or the next standard/standard-ish kind of feature.
I feel like every time I read about USA standards I inevitably discover that any and all SI standards are actually adopted somewhere in the USA - measures in the NASA, 24h clock in the army etc. Just not in the general populace. :)
Again, conflating moderation within Meta, with fact-checking by third party orgs, which is what this is primarily about.

In reading the comments, it's clear to me that "community-based fact-checking" will not work since not even HN users can get basic facts straight (not due to any lack of intelligence, probably just didn't read the article or understand the context), how do we expect the FB userbase to do so?
Part of that comes down to the ad industry engineering their way around user video playback controls. I’ve heard of them even doing things like displaying video ads as sequences of static image files swapped out with JS.

Especially when BARTERING a tiny portion of the company for resources from another company - that massively benefits a growth area.

Amazon can "buy" $2B worth of Anthropic to guarantee $2B of spending on AWS - to report that as growth under AWS in their earnings - to juice their stock price.

They also get to report that their investment in the previous round is up massively.
I think it's just a broader definition of "know how to do". If you can write a test for it then I'm going to argue you know "how" to do it in a bigger picture sense. As in, you understand the requirements and inherent underlying technical challenges behind what you are asking to be done.

The issue is, there are always subtle aspects to problems that most developers only know by instinct. Like, "how is it doing the unicode conversion here" or "what about the case when the buffer is exactly the same size as the message, is there room for the terminating character?". You need the instincts for these to properly construct tests and review the code it did. If you do have those instincts, I argue you could write the code, it's just a lot of effort. But if you don't, I will argue you can't test it either and can't use LLMs to produce (at least) professional level code.

That is true but I think emphasizing liquid sugar is particularly important. When I was young I tried to bulk (for sports) several times and ate an obscene amount of carbohydrates and protein, think like 8 hot dogs and half a gallon of milk for lunch... roughly 4k calories a day of carbs/protein/fat.

I never got past 220. I would get terrible heartburn and bloating and be too full to eat enough, 220 seemed to be about the max my body could obtain without severe discomfort. It always made me wonder how people get up into the 300+ range. Liquified sugar seems like the only food that your body can process efficiently enough to get you into those massive weight categories.
In my experience with very large codebases, a common problem is devs trying to improve random things.

This is well intentioned. But in a large old codebase finding things to improve is trivial - there are thousands of them. Finding and judging which things to improve that will actually have a real positive impact is the real skill.

The terminal case of this is developers who in the midst of another task try improve one little bit but pulling on that thread leads to them attempting bigger and bigger fixes that are never completed.

Knowing what to fix and when to stop is invaluable.

> Increasing performance per watt means that you can get more performance using the same power.

I'm currently running a 150 watt GPU, and the 5070 has a 250 TDP. You are correct. I could get a 5070 and down volt it to work in 150ish range e.g. and get almost the same performance (at least not significantly different to notice in game).

But I think you're missing the wider point of my complain: it's been from Maxwell that Nvidia hasn't produced major updates on the power consumption side of their architecture.

Simply making bigger and denser chips on better nodes while keeping to increase the power draw and slapping DLSS4 is not really an evolution, it's laziness and milking the users.

On top of that: the performance benefits we're talking about are really using DLSS4, which is artificially limited to the latest gen. I don't expect raw performance of this gen to exceed a 20% bump to the previous one when DLSS is off.
You remind me of the bill hicks bit.

We've yet to see how enshittification will work it's magic on AI's. Maybe you're too young to remember AltaVista. Their search was OK'ish, and Google was slightly better - but AltaVista was the incumbent. It should have counted for something, but it was wiped out overnight. What killed AltaVista was them promoting paid search results without telling you. Ham fisted enshittification in other words.

Google resisted it for a while. But slowly ads crept to the top, and then became near indistinguishable from search results. Worse, SEO triggered by their ad business undermined their search, and they famously didn't fix that because the ad business is their cash cow. It is an indirect form enshittification, probably not even a deliberate move, but enshittification nonetheless. Enshittification is killing Google search.

Right now AI's look wonderful. The free ones as you say often replace search. But we are in the early phases. They are all surviving on VC money. That can't continue. Enshittification will hit the free ones, and when it does it seems like it will damage them far more than search. You can work around promoted search results by just looking at more results. How can you work around a hallucinating AI that's been paid to lie to you?
The other approach is to apply to smaller companies that will actually have human read your CV. Depends on where you want to work of course.

Accurate. It's difficult to argue that the mainstream US Republican isn't a populist now. Twice is not a fluke.

And ever since the 70s there's been a tension between the blocks of the Republican party: fiscal business conservatives, foreign policy hawks, and rural/religious conservatives.

After couple decades getting the final group fired up, they decided they wanted to drive. And the primary system rewarded them.

Totally agreed - a correctly used password manager is many, many times easier and faster to use than so-called magic links. It's not even a contest.

I'd even say magic link emails border on misuse of email; they're a fundamentally different form of communication from all other uses of email. It's not easy on neurodivergent brains to deal with that combination of pollution (magic links in my inbox) and distraction (actual emails in my face when I'm trying to log in and was not trying to check my email). Protonmail's client could really make my day if they found a way to reliably separate those 2 channels so I didn't have to even open my inbox to get login codes/links.

What I don't understand is why I've never been prompted to use a password manager by any site with a signup flow. It seems easier to normalize their use through messaging than keep acting like passwords are supposed to be something you consciously remember. Nobody should remember their passwords, except for maybe 2-3. But now we're moving toward a world where login just means more friction and less control instead...
Yeah, this doesn’t work for me at all. I don’t agree that food has been abstracted away at any level, much less that it somehow turned into where to find food, etc. All of that is just information. Thanks for the discussion though.
Nested checkboxes in every front-end framework
I have been working on a code base that is now 14 year old for many years (almost since the beginning), and is now well over 1M LoC of typescript (for Nodejs) - we are only 20-30 engineers working on it, rather than the 100-1000 suggested on the article. And I can say I couldn't agree more with the article.

If you have to work on such projects, there are two things to keep in mind: consistency and integration tests.

I dunno, JD Vance almost entirely exists because tech felt they couldn’t trust Trump. Is Dana White really relying on Trump or just sort of an affiliate of the MAGA brand. I think you can ride on the coattails without getting to close.

In a way I think the problem is the opposite of what I’m describing as well. Mark Zuckerberg will never be MAGA and in the game of thrones succession planning that is currently going on, I wonder if Mark being all in on Trump dilutes the brand. It’s kinda funny actually, Mark Zuckerberg as MAGA leader? Wtf is a MAGA that Mark Zuckerberg is part of.

> I get that you absolutely hate Trump

Actually I may like him the best of most post-modern MAGA or whatever you want to call this beast that’s been created. I know that the whole President Musk thing is a joke, but I think there is some truth to the idea that Trump is the least important figure in the new right.

But this leads me to my really theory, MAGA as defined by Steve Bannon is dead, a normal people working class movement co-opted by the very billionaire elitists they were railing against. It would be ironic if they didn’t even end up pardoning the January 6 insurrectionists.

> Are you saying that corporate processed food manufacturers are not making that statement?

No. I have no knowledge of what statements such manufacturers are or are not making.

However, your original post said “One of the reasons that we don't have Universal Healthcare in the US is that things that are categorically unhealthy would be prohibited from being sold.” This phrasing implies that the statement is true, or at least you believe it to be true. So it seemed relevant to offer a counter-example.

Even if you had originally said “corporate processed food manufacturers claim their products will be curtailed and lobby heavily on this point,” I think it would still be useful to point out that such claims are highly likely to be false given past experience in other countries.
I wonder if you consider the national debt? In a sense, the national debt continues to rise because of faith in the USA, which is similar to say "faith that debts will be repaid."

It won't be repaid by me, nor anybody in my generation (Millenial). So the world is kinda collectively assuming subsequent generations will repay. To your point, it's neither contrary-to nor aligned-with the will of the people, but seems like a massive point that people would say "i'm not responsible for"

I have been let go three times in almost 30 years and I’m on my 10th job.

The first time was at a struggling startup. We all knew they were struggling and the company was very honest with us and kept us abreast of all the companies that our VC backers were pursuing. I was in some of the interviews with potential acquirers.

Our backers promised all of us that “we would get paid for every hour we worked”. Of course they couldn’t promise us we would not get laid off.

All of us stayed until the bitter end. That day we all got laid off after being acquired for scraps, we went to lunch together and hung out in the office just joking around until the end of the day.

We all had something in our back pocket anyway and from looking at LinkedIn, everyone found a job that was either as good or better within a month. This was 2011.

Our largest customer arranged for me to get contract with them to finish out a project, the acquiring company gave the customer access to all of their code and gave me permission to keep my work laptop and waived my non compete.

They gave everyone a month severance. I was treated fairly and have no ill will toward anyone there.

The second time it was Amazon in 2023:

The third time it was a shit show of a company last year. But this is where I have problems with the author

> How do you succinctly summarize and highlight all you’ve done there?

I keep my resume and longer form career document up to date at least once per quarter. I list out the details of major accomplishments in STAR format while it’s still fresh. I have both a technical summary and a business oriented summary for non technical people.

It looks like he learned that lesson too.

> I was being selective and only applying for places I’d realistically want to work

He has a newborn baby. His first priority is to work for any company that will allow him to exchange labor for money to support his family. Even if you do have savings, no need to use it unnecessarily.

I got a 3.5 months severance from Amazon the year before last and my stretch goal was to get an offer before my paid out PTO of 9 days was over let alone dip into my severance.

Of course I reached out to my network first and targeted outreach to companies specializing in my niche (strategic cloud consulting emphasizing app dev). I also spammed my resume to any CRUD enterprise app dev job as a Plan B.

I could always keep interviewing while working. I was working remotely.

I did end up getting a Plan A job offer within 9 days of leaving AWS. But I knew three months in that it wasn’t going to be a long term job.

When the end did come, I was already in the early stages of interviewing for my current job and had an offer three weeks later. But again, I wasn’t going to let the perfect be the enemy of getting any job and I kept applying for Enterprise CRUD jobs until the offer was finalized.

I did work on a side project in 2023. But I got paid for it. A former CTO had some work he needed done.

I'll second thanking you for making D. I still haven't found a language with more compile time capabilities that I can/would actually use. So I'm still using D.

Any thoughts on adding something like Zig's setFloatMode(strict)? I have a project idea or 2 where for some of the computation I need determinism then performance. But very much still need the performance floating point can provide.
I never really understood putting consistency on a pedestal. It's certainly nice when everything operates exactly the same way - but consistency for consistency's sake is awful to work in too. If a team realizes that logging library B is better than library A, and but NEVER switches from A to B because of consistency concerns, then in two years they'll still all be using inferior tools and writing worse code. Similarly, if a team DOES decide to switch from A to B, they probably shouldn't spend months rewriting all previous code to use the new tool. It's ok for multiple established patterns to live in the same codebase, so long as everyone has an understanding of what the "correct" pattern should be for all new code.
