Reasons like this is why the Japanese companies are eating sh*t and are VERY interested in pushing for a US-China war just like the western companies.

Everything coming out of China is way more customer friendly, usually way cheaper and getting better and better to a point that they are surpassing everything else that exists. If DJI releases a full-frame mirrorless camera with L-mount (which they are going to), Canon, Nikon, Fuji and all these companies with firmware from the 90s will die and I am not going to miss them.

They have made absolutely no effort to provide any value and a whole lot of tacit collusion is going on. They still sell you SD cards instead of including an SSD which would be MUCH cheaper and faster. Same with battery technology. Compatibility, apps, software... everything.

Common pitfalls when building generative AI applications
I built a Bible Chat app
Cars that offer driver assistance have to have some way of determining that the driver is awake and paying attention. One way is to monitor steering wheel input which is how older Teslas do it another is to use a camera to monitor the driver's face and that is done by several brands not just new Teslas.

The Watch launch was really bad. They tried to throw everything on it and didn’t give it a reason to exist. The third “apps” on it were slow and projections from the phone. They got it right by WatchOS 3.

The Mac launch and money losses is partially what got Jobs fired the first time. Apple was held afloat for years by the Apple //e.
> The government banned insurance companies from raising prices. They used tax payer money to subsidize this for a while which increase home prices. Eventually insurance companies stopped offering insurance.

Obviously. Such a move by the government is just plain stupid.

> When state actors even dabble in socialism disasters happen people die.

No need to overgeneralize. Not every stupid move is immediately "socialism" and everything smart is "capitalism". It's obvious to every socialist that this move was stupid. In contrast, it's pretty clear that a purely market-based health system costs lives. Nobody is claiming though that "whenever societies dabble in capitalism it results in deaths". Pick your optimization target and then the right tool to reach that target. Sometimes that tool is to let prices regulate risk, sometimes it is laws to regulate risk, and sometimes it's something else entirely.
I'm running my full frame Nikon DSLR as a webcam using a $15 USB to HDMI dongle - works great.
Entry-level jobs? Sure. Senior level and above? You must have been living under the rock for the past year.

Then again, mobile apps are like this tend to be junior work, outsourced to software mills that just burn through juniors cranking out garbage assembled 10% of polyfills and 90% of advertising SDKs. Yes, at this point of your career, you can still say "no" - the company will happily replace you with some other junior, while you replace some other junior somewhere else.
This vaguely reminds me of the fact that in many countries, pure ethanol sold for industrial purposes is intentionally made poisonous, so you can’t drink it and thus merchants don’t have to charge the taxes on it that they would for spirits.

it's not like i'm not used to watching long movies and i would call myself some form of cinephile, but for some reason Twin Peaks felt unbelievably slow.
Sure. I can do anything. It's the principle of the thing.
The app was always useless; I imagine you still can get showered with paper coupons if you ask about them, giving you the same deals without the burden of installing more crapware on your phone.
I mean why invest $70 (and a lot of ressources) in hardware when, in theory, you have everything you need, the software is just locked behind a paywall?
Agree to disagree.

The "human hand" guiding outcomes still needs to get it's resources from somewhere, presumably from government tax income. I disagree this will necessarily result in better global outcomes than the free market.

In cases where almost everyone agrees people should always have access to a service (healthcare) I think it does make sense to obligate everyone to pay. I don't think it makes sense in this specific case of wildfire insurance.

The free market here seems to be failing by your definition because it can't make money. To me that's it succeeding. It's demonstrating that it's underpriced, and people being unwilling to pay the necessary prices shows that they need to find somewhere else to live.

Amusingly enough, the lack of housing itself is another problem caused mostly by human-guided hands in government, not the free market. Enlightened despotism always sounds great when they agree with your perspectives, the reality is rarely so smooth.
Each ellipsoid is rigidly defined (well, some historic ones are sloppy), so WGS84 won't drift .. (that's a bold statement, is it true down to the micron and if so what are the absolute* datums to reference against?).

That said, there are literally hundreds of historic pre WGS84 ellipsoid|datum pairings, each with a somewhat different "survey map pole".

Historically geodectic poles have shifted as a function of datums.

The main point here, such as it is, was to poke at the infomation free aspect of "polar drift" as a comment .. which pole and what does that have to do with climate change? etc.
Maybe people don't like to restart their lives like that if it's avoidable, even if it costs more.
Ah yes. Socialism is when intervention and subsidies.

Typically I use offline upgrade if I mean to poweroff but otherwise I just run `sudo dnf update -y && sudo systemctl reboot` in a terminal if I want a quick update&reboot.

On another laptop I am using silverblue (well bluefin) and the atomic upgrades solve the issue completely.

I think the point is more that the insurers are not the real target for your wrath. You should not motivate your congress person to do something about the insurance necessarily. It's probably better to look at a level further up the chain for example.

Stupid comment. Several flights had to be diverted because of the break-up, and anyone in flight at that time would be rightly concerned about barely-visible high-speed shrapnel showering a much larger area than where the visible debris are - especially when you are responsible for keeping your hundreds of passengers safe in a very unexpected situation with no rehearsed procedure to follow.

You can lead a horse to water, etc. What worked for me wasn't so much a mentor telling me xyz was good / bad, but metrics and quality gates - Sonar (idk when it was renamed to sonarqube or what the difference is) will flag up these issues and simply make the merge request unmergeable unless the trivial issues are fixed.

Because that's the frustrating part; they're trivial issues, unreachable code and unused variables are harmless (on paper), just a maintenance burden and frustrating for whoever has to maintain it later on. But because they're trivial, the author doesn't care about them either. Trivial issues should be automatically fixed and / or checked by tooling, it shouldn't cost you (the reviewer) any headspace in the first place. And it shouldn't need explanation or convincing to solve either. Shouldn't, but here we are.

But yeah, the next decade will be interesting. I'm not really using it in my code yet because idk, the integration broke again or I keep forgetting it exists. But we integrated a tool in our gitlab that generates a code review, both summarzing the changes and highlighting the risks / issues if any. I don't like that, but the authors of merge requests aren't writing proper merge request descriptions either, so I suppose an AI generated executive summary is better than nothing.

Ask HN: How can I realistically change careers?
I’ve spent almost two decades in digital-focused roles, specialising in strategy, user research, and creating frameworks for better customer experiences (ostensibly UX I suppose).

While I’ve found the work rewarding, I feel it’s time for a significant career change—potentially outside of this domain entirely.

I’m seeking advice from others who have made mid-career transitions:

• How did you pinpoint new directions that matched your skills and interests?

• What were the most effective ways to reposition your experience in a new field?

• Are there any resources or strategies you’d recommend for upskilling or building networks?

I've often thought about cybersecurity as something I'd like to specialise in, but it seems like bootcamps and the like aren't worth the money they charge (most advice has been starting at the bottom as an IT helpdesk worker and going from there, but I'm no spring chicken anymore. But I'm not against starting at the very bottom and working my way up).

I realise this is quite a broad ask, and apologies for the throwaway. I’d appreciate any insights, especially from those who’ve shifted from established careers to something entirely different. Thanks in advance!

Oof, same to be honest. It doesn't help that at some point Apache changed its configuration format, and that all of these tools seem to have reinvented their configuration file format. And that, once it's up you won't have to touch it again for years (at least in my personal server use case, I've never done enterprise level ops work beyond editing a shell script or CI pipeline)
> Why on earth would I assume the company from which I bought my car is selling my information? Why are they allowed to sell this data at all?

Sadly the answers are "if it's got a connected computer in it, it's selling your information" and "you're in America, so no GDPR because 'free speech' trumps privacy almost every time, except for video rental records".
I also find that summarising content helps me digest it better. I have to fully understand the source in order to write the summary. The process of writing a summary is of immense value. Sometimes the summary itself is of minimal value.

Beg all you want. They're still going to dump JSON strings (not even jsonb) and UUIDs in them anyway, because, "Move fast and break things."

I lament along with you.
Exactly. Why the fixation on one strategy for handling this not so uncommon scenario. It is so common that handling it should be defacto.

This isn’t a pre-paid gas pump use, but that could be one way to present it. We all want to fill as fast as possible. And if your fill spout can handle top rates, you get top fill rates, until you close in on the hard limit. Then it trickles down to the metered drop. Then stops precisely where it needs to.

By accepting/requesting a hard cap, the provider can make clear that in order to be precise, soft caps will go into affect earlier and induce progressive throttling where applicable. If the throttle doesn’t catch the final milliliter or two of gasoline, before the pump shuts off, the provider can and should just let it go. It’s a loss, but comparatively a figurative drop in the bucket.

The other obvious route is predictive where prior usage guide the guardrails. Ordering two eggs is typical for a single meal. Ordering twelve is not. Ordering three or four is unusual for most but if you are a regular diner your habits will be observable.

Any of this predicated on the provider to want to do something. They seem to lack incentives at this point for making it easy. It is stories like op that I avoid well known problematic providers like Firebase who don’t respect and foster long term relationships.
> This only works if everyone or the vast majority join unions.

This is a common objection but I think it's wrong. Putting aside the
huge differences between US (at will) and global employment law, the
idea of a fluid, frictionless workforce is quite the myth. Keeping
wages down and conditions poor very much relies on the propagation of
that myth that ethics will work against you. so please be careful not
to do yourself a disservice (if indeed you are a developer).

In reality quite small minorities have a disproportionate impact on
change. Some accounts claim it's as low as three percent. I'm
sceptical of that, but the fact remains; if only a handful of people
object but with severe consequences by the force of law, employers
will play it safe. I find it unlikely that any employers would survive
long if it transpired they were disfavouring members of IEEE, ACM, IET
or whatever.

I use my global shutter Sony A9 III as a webcam as well and it's amazing, but Sony has it's own WTF moment. It has a feature of showing custom grid line / frames in the camera screen (like for passport photo) and it costs $149 [1] :-)

Quote from [1]: "At $149, this may be the most cost-effective camera accessory ever."

All other features (including selection of on which eye - left or right - AI human tracking autofocus should focus on) are free :)

The development was presumably funded off the back of expected revenue.

For your "streamer" stuff, I'd expect them to use something appropiate to the job - something connecting direct to a network outputting NDI, or something with SDI output.
Everything is insurable, it's just a matter of making the premium high enough. If people are willing to pay it, that's another question.

If insurance and property taxes are proportional to property price, and property prices grow faster than incomes, then cost of ownership will eventually become unaffordable to existing residents.

A similar argument works if insurance is just based on reconstruction cost, but construction costs inflate faster than incomes.

If properties become unaffordable, then to restore equilibrium, property prices must fall, incomes must rise, or lower-income residents will sell to higher-income purchasers. If there are few higher-income purchasers, property prices will fall.

Property taxes could be cut, or decoupled from property values (e.g. poll tax), but that never happens.

If the risk really is high, there is no practical insurance available, and all purchasers are rational, then the price may go to zero.

An example of an irrational purchaser would be one who assigned high status to a beach house, even in the face of threats from coastal erosion, hurricane floods or tsunamis.
The job market since 2022 says otherwise
That is incorrect. Criminal genocide is an act individuals can commit and be punished for. The ICC has juridsiction over it.

For example, the ICC is currently trying to arrest Omar Al-Bashir, the former president of Sudan, on (among other things) three charges of genocide.

As another example, Ratko Mladić is currently serving a life sentence for (among other charges) genocide. (He was charged at the ICTY not the ICC)

You might be confused because there is also the concept of "state responsibility" for genocide, which is something that countries can be liable for instead of induviduals. The ICC does not preside over state responsibility for genocide. That is the ICJ's area of responsibility. State responsibility for genocide is what the south africa vs Israel case is about. ICJ is kind of like civil court where countries can sue each other vs ICC which is a criminal court that holds individuals accountable. The two concepts are very linked but they are separate, and have differing procedures and standards of evidence. Its possible for the state of Israel to be responsible for genocide without any of its leaders being guilty of comitting criminal genocide, and its also possible for the reverse to be true.
Regarding products from China being cheaper: remember that Japanese, Korean, and Western companies are the ones mostly innovating and absorbing the R&D costs. Remember how modern OLEDs were made feasible basically by LG and Samsung? Having stolen that IP[0][1][2], without any R&D costs but with dirt cheap manufacturing due to direct and indirect subsidies like relatively almost nonexistent labour protection laws, PRC companies could of course immediately flood the market with cheaper alternatives.

You can choose your suppliers by other measures than merely price. Arguably, you should if the market you are particupating in is not free and fair in this way.

Personally, as a happy owner of a Japanese-made under-$2k camera that works perfectly well for all purposes and even has official CAD files published for accessory 3D printing enthusiasts, I see no reason to switch to a Chinese brand (well, also there is no product that beats it on both specs and price, but even if there was I would think twice). People tend to over-generalize, but reality is not as simple as “all manufacturers from %country1% are better because X and all manufacturers from %country2% suffer from issue Y”.
