Why should someone working at big tech care? Their mission is , generally , to 'capture value' from elsewhere and in the process make the world worse. Hard mission to get behind.

And why should a 7/11 worker care? Their employer doesn't care about them. Minimum wage / minimum effort and all that.

And Elon Musk as the sole positive example is so lame.

All this bothers me because despite everything I do still care. But finding a way to express that is so hard. And after a while of it not mattering its hard to justify. And finding somewhere where your work actually matters seems impossible when we're funding everything except what's important

the original chunk is most likely stored with it in referential format such as an id in the metadata to pull from a DB or something along those lines. I do exactly what he does aswell and i have an Id metadata value that does exactly that pointing to an id in a DB which holds the text chunks and their respective metadata
The way we did it with my son when he was like 4 was to do both ways and then merge them.

1. He learned to ride a balance bike.

2. He learned to ride a bike with training wheels.

3. I took off the training wheels, then had him practice, without actually pedalling around yet, catching himself with his feet. He would place his feet on the pedals while I held the bike upright, than I would let go of the bike and he'd move his feet to the ground to stop himself from toppling over.

4. Once he was comfortable catching himself, he was able to start pedalling around for real, easy peasy, because he was confident in his ability to stop himself from falling if necessary.

>Meanwhile, the “right thing” isn’t always so obvious. The “violent and disruptive” student is also a child with a right to an education.

They may have a right to an education, but they need to be at an alternative school with teachers equipped to handle their behavior and classmates who are in similar situations. If they’re going to ruin their classes for their classmates, those classmates shouldn’t be innocent, well-behaved students.
I think it's on topic as it shows exactly what OP was talking about (Instead they get negative feedback) is not confined to workplaces, but is prevalent right here, too. "No one cares" is almost correct. Some people will care, but most will downvote you and criticize you.

Oh by the way ... I tried doing a "Show HN" with it. It just got buried after getting 1 like. If you post something that people take a while to engage with, then they don't come back to HN to upvote it fast enough. So it gets eclipsed by stuff that's memey and fun. Result: no one cares.
I have friends who were teachers in San Francisco unified School district who quit because students were literally attacking and breaking the bones of teachers and not being expelled.

I was responding to the part about housing being expensive near good schools, and the idea of good schools in general. Expensive housing and associated taxes often affect local school budgets, and those budgets are often stated as the reason the school is good. But my experience has been that the budgets don’t change school quality, it must be other factors. Sorry it may have been somewhat unrelated.

> If those people have worse habits, are less motivated, less educated, less cultured, what is there to gain from it?

learning how to be patient and tolerant regarding situations / people / things i do not like or think of as “beneath me”.

tends to lead to better decision making as one can respond, rather than knee jerk react to everything.

edit — also, i tend to find i can learn a lot more useful lessons from beginners.

in the beginners mind there are a lot of possibilities. in the expert’s mind (especially self proclaimed ones) there are few possibilities.

children are a great example of this.
Pretty much anything that dissolves in lipids will work as an anesthetic, with effectiveness depending on how well it dissolves. This is why nitrogen under high pressure can cause nitrogen narcosis while diving. This is also why spot removers like ether and chloroform work as anesthetics. Also why nitrous oxide is used for whipped cream; it dissolves in the cream and makes it foam up. Since xenon is somewhat soluble in lipids, it somewhat works as an anesthetic even though it is chemically inert. The big question is why being lipid-soluble makes something an anesthetic. That's not known, but probably it messes up ion channels in the lipid membrane or something.

See the Meyer-Overton correlation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theories_of_general_anaestheti...
I can't think of a faster easier tool for composing and controlling a bunch of heterogeneous things. Even if you write a Python script that does it, you're still using shell to run it. Notebooks are good for experimenting and explaining, not for automating.

I feel like there's "nobody cares about what I do" and "nobody cares about how they affect other people" which are related but subtly different and imo. GP was more about the first and TFA more the second.

In the end, graduates are going to pay for it. But I wouldn't necessarily tie the university with its graduates. What if somebody drops-off? What if, in the future, students will be able to combine classes (and get credits) from 3 universities via online lessons? Each uni can have different system of student debt.

I think, paying per class or year (but rather class) and having student debt as a separate instrument (that can be private or public), is much better.

I agree that Neo-Nazi makes no sense but I’ll confess to being kind of confused by that PG quote. He’s using unfavorable language but what he seems to be describing is a person with absolute moral standards who calls out people who violate them. …is that supposed to be a bad thing? “Can’t we all be a little more morally relative” isn’t PG’s most inspiring rallying cry.

It’s incredible to compare the statements made by prominent figures (including tech CEOs) in the aftermath of Jan 6th and what you hear them say today. All about a man who hasn’t really changed in any meaningful way or expressed any remorse for actions considered unforgivable four years ago. The reasons why are pretty obvious, I’m no rube, I get that we’re all self-motivated at the end of the day. But at least own it rather than complain about the people who point out the hypocrisy.
Wonder if you could do it with the front of the car jacked up.

>It's like the author has never heard of balance bikes, but they're very common, and have been for over a decade.

Every time a post like this comes up a bunch people haven't heard of them. I'm sure it helps, especially with really little kids, but honestly kids learn to ride bikes pretty easy once they decide they want to really learn regardless of pedals or not.
It does not really matter, as RISC-V will drive ARM to irrelevance.
It's hard to realize just how unrepresentative that is and how much of a minority that makes you.

Just like it's easy for people into video games to think the latest Steam-chart topping indie hit is really popular.

And then you look up the numbers and it turns out something like FIFA (EAFC) makes more money than every single indie game on Steam combined.

> I've seen those exact questions in PR templates […] understanding a PR takes time […] when anyone is under any kind of pressure to deliver. […] is this the case frequently enough for the process to have a positive ROI.

Not templates. The culture HAS TO be for everyone to calm down and treat PR reviews as first class citizens, not unwanted distractions. If ya'll stop stressing each other out that reviews are bs, I'm sure they'll stop being that.

> […] we still had, design reviews, white board sessions, code reviews, pairing sessions, planning meetings etc...

You know that feeling when you get a design idea, you start implementing, and a single plot twist makes you realize it doesn't fit? What do you think happens when a white board session bumps against reality? That's likely a session down the drain.

What if we replace it with the following process: 1) Discover all the plot twists up front by writing out the solution. Publish a PR. 2) When a reviewer comes in, give them time to grok it, welcome redesign ideas. 3) Easily assess and validate their ideas using the stupid amounts of expertise you temporarily gained by having written a working solution. 4) Discuss or proceed with fixups.

How can it get more concrete and grounded in reality than this? One of you knows every tree, the other one can still see the forest. I'd argue, you rarely need to talk before this point. This is the best point.

(Obviously you shouldn't just suffer in silence if you're stuck or your diff is getting out of control. Run it by somebody sooner than later.)

> I highly doubt you'd be able to do this outside of a small company, or a small self-contained team.

Thankfully most companies or teams are indeed small.

wtf is going on here? This is one of the most toxic comment sections I've ever seen. Do people really think this way?
I relate to this a lot. Someone is referring to this take as “bullshit” contrasting the experience of the average worker to a software engineer.

I’d argue the average worker is in the position they’re in because of a whole chain of people that couldn’t be bothered to care.

Our government has let go of its principles, because no one in charge could be bothered to give a fuck. There’s a certain nihilism to life in the US in 2025 that has been enabled entirely by people not speaking up.

I’m myself guilty of staying on the sidelines. Starting to realize that perhaps I need to be louder, because no one else is speaking up and that “giving a fuck” is something that must be led by example.
Based on the other comments here, a better title might be "Unvetted code change triaged in Linux 6.13". Not as sexy, but accurate?
Another related pet peeve is when I see cyclists going the wrong way in a bike lane. On a 40 mph road a cyclist has a differential with traffic of 20-25 mph. An accident would be serious by likely non-fatal. When you ride the wrong you you add the speeds and make nearly all collisions fatal.
The staff that quit was the staff that worked on WP. Almost none of the remaining employees worked on it, so yeah I would not be surprised if only 4 people are working on it now and that's the real cause of Matt pulling back on their WP work.
These people show up, offer trivially incorrect or untenable solutions to the trickiest problems. Rarely do they have the insight that fixes them. Often they do things that introduce more risk.
Admittedly I only did this in school and it's been over 10 years, but I recall when doing engineering drawings, we'd specify ± (or separate lower/upper tolerances in some situations). Using decimal points to indicate uncertainty was not a thing I believe I did after high school. Does any actual professional use decimal places and not explicit ±?

Similarly, we calculated those ± values using the chain rule/uncertainty propagation, not with the simple decimal place rules you learn as a kid. I assume no one serious uses the child rules when CAD software can just as easily use the real ones.
Yup! I’ve taught 4 kids with this method. A year or 2 on the balance bike, 2-ish weeks with training wheels and then take the training wheels off and they get it within 5-10 minutes. Took a bunch of frustration with the first kid to arrive at this method but I’ve done it with the next 3 and it works flawlessly.
You can definitely lock up the rear wheel with hand brakes. Still happens to me semi-regularly purely by accident when I have to stop suddenly.

Can You Read Cursive? The National Park Service Wants to Hear from You
I know that I have a great friendship as an adult with my parents, in part because they were parents while I was growing up. I had a friend ask what I would do in a situation and I wanted to yell be a parent! Said something nicer, but basically gently pointed out that sometimes that means giving up things you may want to do to show a good example. For instance, if you are always on social media then of course they will want to be too. Right now, you are the biggest influence on your children's life, even when they do not like something now that does not mean they will not thank you later. Anyway, I was debating building a house that wouldn't allow radio waves in so that everything has to be approved. One of the quotes I like is, "It is not the things that I had as a child that makes me the man I am today, but the things I did not." Went on a bit of a tangent, but I just wanted to encourage that for most of history it was considered good for children to learn to interact well not with their peers but with their elders. This helps firm realistic expectations of what the majority of life will be like, the opposite of social media and much of the internet. Also, remember that if you address a topic with your child first you are the trusted expert, rather than someone else, in their minds.
This bold and vague claim is easily countered by my own datapoint as someone who continues to deeply resent the restrictions placed upon them in an extremely dogmatic household. Not everyone is given guardians who have their best interest at heart.

My computer usage was surveilled and highly limited. My guardians feared the knowledge I could access via the internet. No personal computer, no television in my room. All media verified for dogmatic adherence before consumption. Personal belongings frequently searched and thrown away or broken. Any significant amount of money I saved up, stolen. I didn't even get to have a door for long stretches of time. I was surveilled by a network of narcissistic adults whose main interests were turning me into a good little Christian boy.
Over a 100 year old grind, schooling fixed all that. Why can't it keep going?

Schooling didn’t fix all that. There have been major advances throughout society in every area: medicine, nutrition, sanitation, manufacturing, electricity, refrigeration, printing, computing, telecommunications… the list goes on and on and on. Some of these things contributed major improvements to the average person.

Advances in medicine and nutrition, for example, contributed to sharp declines in early childhood mortality and morbidity. Advances in reproductive health care (along with everything else) led to huge declines in birth rates. Smaller families have more resources and attention available for each child.

Other advances had less of an impact but still add up when combined. Widespread access to refrigeration improved nutrition and reduced spoilage, allowing increased consumption of meat. More meat means taller, stronger, healthier children.

On the other hand, schooling hasn’t improved all that much in 150 years. You can find lots of writing samples and old exams for schools from back then. The bigger difference is that children stay in school much longer and have less need to rapidly enter the workforce in order to support the family. This last factor is a product of many of the advances listed above.
Too late. Too many bastards. Too much grinding.
You can read the whitepapers on the website for more details, it's basically not a product rather an outsourcing model..
This is reassuring. Thank you. The first cherry crimson-made blemish on a skint knee is a crucial element to the experience.

I haven’t read the article yet. The question of the wipe out had to be resolved first.

It sounds like balance bikes make children more confident. I’m all for them if that’s so. They seem true to their name.
Unfortunately you need to be tier 2 to use o1-mini. The only time I really use GPT is to summarize documents and for that, GPT-4o mini works well enough and it is significantly cheaper than other high quality models, so I never really rack up an OpenAI bill.
This is a fantastic response. Wokeism is a pseudo-religion, and Dawkins's response to the in vouge religion is timeless.
My read of history is that the puritans basically had universal literacy not that long after the printing press hit Europe. I believe America and Israel are unique among modern countries in being founded by people whose ancestors had achieved universal literacy in the 1500s.

IMO this is about Apathy. The feeling where doing things or not doing them, what's it matter anyways.

I think, a lot of the apocalyptic sentiment lately has a lot to do with it. Climate change is already ruining things and will only get worse and also has started getting worse faster. Politically, economically, things are pretty hopeless. What use is picking up trash or wearing a nice shirt in the face of all of this. What are we building towards, and does anything I do mean anything

> I've always considered insurance false-economy and avoided it wherever possible, especially for events with losses <$20k.

Everything is relative, right? Self insurance is fine if you can afford it. Most people can't wear a $20k hit without potentially ending up homeless or in significant financial distress.
Nah, I moved from a big city where people are feeling squashed by the pressure, to a small town, where people feel a bit more relaxed, and I am constantly surprised by how much of a shit people give. I’m not advocating for small towns here, I like the city, I’m advocating for making a society where we act like people matter and stop calling anyone who doesn’t want to kick everyone in the teeth to get ahead a communist, and stop calling people who do inspiring visionaries
