That is the kind of results I would expect! Plus V8 (if that is still the JS engine in chrome) has always been faster. And android is probably the priority target for chrome at this point.

But on the occasional times I launch it (chrome), it just feels like it bogus down more often doing basic things. Someone once suggested that, paradoxically, it is slower because I don't use it very often. Something to do with ART and how the AOT compilation work on android

What's truly been lost is the speed

20 years ago was when I could flip through all (40ish) analogue CATV channels * in under 20 seconds * and could tell you what shows were going on with each channel.

Yes, it only took around 500ms to filter and decide if each station broadcast was on commercial, news, sports, nature, or something else worth watching.

To this day, with all the CDNs and YouTube evolutions, we still have not come close to receiving video variety anywhere near that speed.
Also made possible by the internet and computers in general, I'd argue. Without the easy availability of prices, sales data, and general number crunching capabilities I don't think this would be happening. Certainly not at the scale we're seeing.
There's a misconception that systematic harmful behavior has to be organized.

The truth is that many antisocial people generate a strong cult following and these people protect the abuser. Given Altman's followers are likely to be over-represented in tech companies, it find it plausible this happened without his intentional involvement.

The real issue we as a society agree that tech companies can have a massive effect on public discourse, yet we have not yet developed a legal framework to hold them accountable.

Co-orbitals are top-of-mind right now! As-is they can be simulated without issue (the system is defined as a DAG where each body defines the parent bodies it is gravitationally influenced by, e.g. Sun+Jupiter+Saturn for the trojans) but I haven't yet figured out how to get the proper starting position+velocity for them in the current epoch. I foresee a deep dive down the ephemeris rabbit hole in my future...
Also, as the comments will show you, we have a very negative attitude now towards anyone who wants to hookup with someone they just happened to see in person and tried to initiate with that person. So if that's the response you'll get, why go out? Stay in and play it safe with apps
> The tricky part of creating your own OS is debugging.

The older I get, the more I think I can figure out most problems that don't require some really gnarly domain expertise if I have a good way to iterate on them: code something, try it, see the results, see how they compare with what I wanted. It's when pieces of that are difficult or impossible, or very slow, things get more difficult.

I care deeply about this because I almost fell into the loneliness chasm.

I was lucky, though, because ~25 years ago I took a college course for an easy A that covered the negative health effects of loneliness. And I remembered it.

There is not a single person on Earth who cannot spare one hour per week, which is all it takes.

One hour per week very quickly snowballs into buying monthly planners and constantly saying "I can't because I'm busy <doing something else with a group of people> that day".

When you tell people that every single zip code in the entire United States is full of groups of people who are doing things and constantly looking for new members to join, they will make ten thousand excuses before googling "upcoming events in my area" and putting a single one-hour thing on their calendar.

They refuse to accept the irrefutable fact that someone is out there looking for them.

edit: What pisses me off the most about articles like that are the pop pysch-/soci-ology bullshit statements about places like libraries being less accessible. There are more public libraries today than there were in the 1980s. They're being used at roughly the same rate. That makes them either equally or more accessible: not less.

This would have helped me get an actual CS degree 25 years ago instead of CS-lite (networking & server admin).

It's not that I can't do calculus, I took it in high school, and then again in my first go-round in CS. It's that I hate calculus. Not the subject itself, just the grinding away at problem sets.

I did a refresher in pre-calc, calc I, calc II & discrete mathematics during COVID at the local community college (was planning to finish the few credits I need for an actual CS BS) & I started calc III twice (but dropped both times). I even got a 4.0 on my first calc III exam (and this was an in-person class, so no online shenanigans).

I just have some kind of weird aversion to 3 dimensional calculus. I have convinced myself that I'm simply not smart enough to actually do the work. I understand it, I just get clammy with it.

Truth be told, maths are my kryptonite. Despite working with numbers all day every day for 30+ years, and writing a lot of software over the years (and not just CRUD, but games of all things), I am absolutely ashamed that I just can't seem to grok math with any rigor.

I have all the Stewart textbooks on my shelf, many textbooks from libgen (ones I've seen recommended on HN from people who went to much better universities than I attended), and I even work through problems a few hours per week. I just can't seem to make that leap from a guy who's "good with numbers" (from a layperson's perspective) to a guy who's good at math.

Maybe I need to break open one of my physics textbooks and actually use the calculus in an applied context and that will break whatever mental barrier I have (I've even watched all of the 3 blue 1 brown videos, countless youtube lectures, etc).
> enough homes to house its population twice over

This is because a ton of them are in the Chinese equivalent of like Boise, Idaho where demand is fairly low. People want to live where the high paying jobs are.
Let me elaborate. The idea of "we have multiple product teams and they do similar stuff, let's optimize it" visits CTO/CEO brain on quite early stages. And "platform" team could evolve according to:

1) devops/sre start to provide some guides on top of some cloud, nowdays it's k8s. Like default service templates.

2) service templates transforms into custom DSL with side configuration and k8s abstraction things.

3) Abstraction/libraries on top of secrets management.

4) Service configuration per enviroment.

At with point it's all good. But startup grows, and needs a secops team to get some internal audit. Or it could be a platform team initiative.

5) Audit shows critical issues with permissions and platform team starts to think about how to restrict access.

Mismatch with "old freedom" could be quite high for unprepared product teams. Platform becomes "inconvenient". It takes huge amount of resources to make it actually usable.

Can anyone explain what has happened that makes building a simple UI 20 times harder after 20 years???

Complexity won. It’s easier to sell for $^6, secures jobs, creates a good barrier for regular people like the one you attempted to be. Remember all those guys who built things with delphi? Now they are high-paying customers because things bring money, but they can’t build them anymore. And ui teams happily spend their money discussing cascading, hooks, reconciliation and other idiocy unrelated to any real thing.
But perhaps with not a very solid justification to do so:

Here is a way to get around this annoying behavior: Type “sla” in your address bar (or however many characters of “slack” it takes to get it to autocomplete with Slack URLs). Cursor down into saved URLs for actual Slack channels. Hit return. Skip all that bullshit.

Discord does the same bullshit and this works there too.

(This assumes you’re not logging out when closing the slack/discord tab. Sometimes it just doesn’t work with Slack and you have to do a full login.)
Virtually all online streaming services in India now use a OTP sent to registered mobile number as the way to login to the app on any device.

Magic links and OTPs have become common for many other sites I use -- Udemy, Teachable etc. come to mind.

Recently I bought a cheap "smart watch" for my kid. Mostly for the digital display with configurable clock faces and simple step counting. The app would refuse to activate the watch unless we provide a valid mobile number and OTP. Why the hell do I need to give them a working mobile number just to use a smartwatch. Even if I wanted (which I did not) to get notifications / calls / texts / caller ID / contacts from my paired smartphone ... the smartwatch app does not need to know my phone number for that functionality to work. Feel so powerless.
If you look at the edit on the bottom, I actually acknowledged that already :)

I wonder if the author is aware of CVX / cvxpy / "disciplined convex programming"?

I think this would be easy to express in that, and I wonder how the performance would compare. Basically, there can be DSL-level facilities to track that functions and constraints are convex by construction, and remove the obligation to implement various bits of optimization logic (and allow one to switch between optimization details at a config level).

Hi OP, this looks super cool. I remember hearing about this (https://www.linuxfromscratch.org/) many years ago but have never done it.

Curious, what are the prerequisites for this? Do I have to know about how kernels work? How memory management, protection rings or processes are queued? Some I'd like to definitely learn about.
Sure, but they can also be a hindrance, and that's been my experience playing music with my computer keyboard. If intervals are all you care about (and it's all you can care about) then I've found it easier to just enter notes with the mouse.

Alternatively, an Akai MPK Mini MK3 costs $100 and gives you twice the range, no limit on simultaneous keypresses, velocity sensitivity, a mod wheel, analog knobs, and velocity sensitive drum pads.
That's like saying a 500 calorie diet isn't starvation, because starvation is literally no food or incredibly little food.
Much of the last 5 years of AI improvements have been FP32 -> FP16 -> FP8 -> FP4, not any particularly impressive hardware or software improvements.

I think it is almost entirely job driven. Given the choice of equal pay, most people would pick a cheap suburban 2000sqft house with a garden for 10% the price of a SF condo.

That’s all true, but I bet 99.99% of all email is delivered within a minute or so of being send. There are exceptions, of course, but in practice the whole thing is pretty fast.

So there’s some threat modeling, too. Are you trying to email someone highly adversarial? Maybe you’re at a law office or such and that’s the case! This wouldn’t help a lot there. Not everyone is immediately forwarding all inbound mails to a timestamping service though.

(I don’t have skin in this game, so I’ll probably duck out after this. I don’t have opinions on whether publishing old DKIM keys is good or bad.)
Yes that's what I did term 1. But, looking back, I could have saved a lot of time not following news stories that ultimately went nowhere (e.g. new healthcare & infrastructure plans, etc). The rhetoric was there, but the willingness to put words into action was not -- which is at the heart of my question.

Do you know who owns most real estate either directly or indirectly? Pension funds. And who wants to shake up their pension? Nobody. It's the most democratized form of asset ownership, literally everybody is going to get angry.

And secondly... Are the second vacation homes really the problem? I'd guess the problem begins around 3rd or 5th, not the second one, which is a fairly common and usually also a good thing to have - for both the owner and the society.
The pandemic killed off a lot of social structures. The casual carpool going from various East Bay locations to downtown San Francisco is gone. The reward for the driver picking people up (express lane, lower toll) is the same. The people are largely the same. But the institution didn't magically restart after COVID.
Agreed, but one thing to note on the Chinese real estate is that a lot of it is apparently "tofu dregs", so a good portion of the real estate is just a building waiting to fall down that you can crumble with your bare hands (lots of YouTube videos on this) and a lot of the supply is also in the middle of nowhere. So the supply is kind of not as much there as you would normally think. To use an analogy, does building a massive housing complex in the middle of the Mojave help American home prices come down?
True, I guess investing in the future viability of your core product doesn’t fit with how modern corporations are run.

This is good advice but only it has been followed from the beginning and consistently throughout the development of the original code. It is applicable to large organizations with lots of resources who hire professional developers and have a lot of people who are familiar with the code that are active in code reviews and have some minimum form of documentation / agreement on what the logic flow in the code should look like (the article does not claim otherwise). But I would implore those who work at the 80% of other companies that this advice is nearly useless and YMMV trying to follow it. The one thing that I think is universally good advice is to try and aggressively remove code whenever possible.
I’m not making a metaphysical point here. IVF still relies on the human reproductive machinery to produce the gametes and gestate the baby. You’re still using human reproductive machinery to do 99% of the work.

> China built enough homes to house its population twice over, yet it's not reflected in the prices. All because everyone and their grandma is investing in real estate.

Yes, but this is reflected in China's vacancy rate: 22% by some estimates.

In the US, home vacancy rates are sub-1%.

Not saying people aren't treating homes as investments, but it seems clear we also have a supply issue.

"Real Estate is Investment" should naturally lead to overproduction as investment-only properties get built to satisfy that demand—as we see in China. In the US, we don't see that.
It gives a lot of unearned power to those who decide what constitutes "promoting," "graphic," "self harm," and "social media," for one thing.

If you or I happen to agree with the people who wield that power, rest assured it's only a temporary coincidence.

Rewrites are much like any act of self improvement. People think grand gestures and magical dates (like January 1 or hitting rock bottom) are the solution to turn your life around. But it’s little habits compounding that make or break you. And it’s new habits that kill old ones, not abstinence.

I worked with another contractor for a batshit team that was waiting for a rewrite. We bonded over how silly they were being. Yeah that’s great that you have a plan but we have to put up with your bullshit now. The one eyed man who was leading them kept pushing back on any attempts to improve the existing code, even widely accepted idioms to replace their jank. At some point I just had to ask him how he expected all of his coworkers to show up one day and start writing good code if he won’t let them do it now? He didn’t have an answer to that, and I’m not even sure the question landed. Pity.

The person who promised him the rewrite got promoted shortly before my contract was up. This promotion involved moving to a different office. I would bet good money that his replacement did not give that team their rewrite. They’re probably either still supporting that garbage or the team disappeared and someone else wrote a replacement.

That whole experience just reinforced my belief that the Ship of Theseus scenario is the only solution you can count on working. Good code takes discipline, and discipline means cleaning up after yourself. If you won’t do that, then the rewrite will fall apart too. Or flame out.

So... don't play them? Your reasons for not accepting kernel anti-cheat are completely valid, but so are other users' desires to not play games with cheaters.
What does it stop? You already did a 2FA at this point. If an attacker has my 2FA he most likely already has my email so the 'value' being provided is at the cost of more complexity for the user. If this adds value then why not also do an SMS as well to be really, really sure that the user is legit? That would add even more value.

And again, I wasn't saying that you can't do all of this nonsense, but users who see it as nonsense should be able to turn it off.
Indeed, that is what I meant. This is a neat result, just not practical yet.

How do you copy the link between devices? QR code?
You can’t unlock your iPhone with biometrics at first boot, and holding down the two side buttons will make it so your phone immediately disables biometric unlock, and instead requires your passcode for the next unlock.

But none of this has much to do with the biometric auth you do with passkeys, because passkeys are used in places passwords would be used — logging into apps and websites. Which you see only doing when your device is already unlocked and you are actively using it.
And consequently when they started to give no f about if users like or not the new version of the app forced on them. So before the Enterprise Oriented Design.
