"The gap between poor and rich is still increasing, and we need ways to address that."

Do we? For what?

We already have a serious problem in Europe that we totally missed the IT revolution. In the list of the biggest corporations in the world, US tech giants dominate. The first European entry is Louis Vuitton, a producer of luxury handbags.

Either we are going to have a robust economy that can support the levels of taxation which carry the welfare state, but that means that someone is inevitably going to become very rich. If someone succeeds in building European Amazon, they will be in the same category of rich as Jeff Bezos.

Or we will still have our legacy giants like Louis Vuitton and a more equitable distributon of poverty. But hey, no new digital parvenus up there.

You are concerned about the gap between the rich and the poor. What about the gap between the US and the EU economy? That is growing pretty fast.

Already we are small brothers to the big brother overseas. 20 or 30 more years of our current stagnation and we will be global nobodies; no one will bother to implement our strict regulations to gain access to our markets.
So you are using Google or what? I feel like in Enterprise Environments you don't have much choice between bad and worse.
There was a time when I'd have agreed with you. But over time I've come to honestly disagree, perhaps unsurprisingly, since I detest the typical command line experience too.

Just like when books are adapted into movies, the good adaptations are the ones that are better than the sum of their parts (aren't a direct adaptation). Blind, generic composability is in direct contradiction with this. One could argue that it's the scale that determines whether a better integrated or a consistent but generic solution is better, but in this case I think the article very explicitly demonstrates that the latter approach is what loses out.

I have a very strong and persistent disdain towards the many shell incantations I had to come up with, have to keep around as notes, and have to have AI generated. Having to navigate the maze the article calls a GUI would result in much the same.

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills seeing people in this thread regarding this visual any good, especially given how even the article author clearly disagrees, hence "why" the article was created in the first place.
> Also low quality suspension was a thing earlier. But this is well known and an owner should do something about it. There are really good aftermarket suspension kits now.

Controllers are a complex topic, but as the linked talk describes, it all comes down to some basic control theory concepts. I wrote about them in my Desired state systems post https://branislavjenco.github.io/desired-state-systems/ if somebody wants a high-level overview of how to think about them.

Basically, declarative state implies value semantics which makes it easier to reason about. Underlying complexity is high though, and you need to judge how necessary it is.

A typical Hacker News denizen is someone within the US IT industry. Yeah, there are outliers again, but that is the core demographics here.

The US is pretty big. Personally, I would avoid a lot of places, but, for example, the mix of American and Cuban culture in Florida is really refreshing to me.

Public transport is one of the few things in which the US is definitely behind the times. Not just behind Europe, but behind everyone-but-Africa. For example, the new Chinese-built metro in Dhaka, Bangladesh, is nice, safe and clean. IDK what is wrong with the Americans in this regard...

That said, read the Draghi report. There is absolutely no doubt that Europe needs massive reforms unless it wants to become irrelevant, but there is a lot of doubt if the political will is here.

By far the most important voting bloc are the pensioners, and they don't want any disturbances to the system that served their generation well.

OP didn't got it right. It only applies for those with the same qualifications (i.e. given two 10x devs, the most vulnerable one is kept) so the company gets to keep a 10x dev. He's just externalising his problems to the easiest target (ie. vulnerable people). His own situation is partially his fault and he admits as much when he describes a list of what he would have done differently.

People expect things to always work the same way and they get upset when they don't.

Seems like grandparent commenter wants to add classifying codes to items s/he's bought.

For example from that PDF, bagels would have the classification "23490 Bread and other bakers' wares". That's under "23 Grain mill products, starches and starch products; other food products" -> "234 Bakery products".

To be able to see how often one buys grain products, and then bread products, is either funny, or an unnecessary amount of detail.

I’m working with Neo-Latin texts at the Ritman Library of Hermetic Philosophy in Amsterdam (aka Embassy of the Free Mind).

Most of the library is untranslated Latin. I have a book that was recently professionally translated but it has not yet been published. I’d like to benchmark LLMs against this work by having experts rate preference for human translation vs LLM, at a paragraph level.

I’m also interested in a workflow that can enable much more rapid LLM transcriptions and translations — whereby experts might only need to evaluate randomized pages to create a known error rate that can be improved over time. This can be contrasted to a perfect critical edition.

And, on this topic, just yesterday I tried and failed to find English translations of key works by Gustav Fechner, an early German psychologist. This isn’t obscure—he invented the median and created the field of “empirical aesthetics.” A quick translation of some of his work with Claude immediately revealed concept I was looking for. Luckily, I had a German around to validate the translation…

LLMs will have a huge impact on humanities scholarship; we need methods and evals.
It's disappointing that you feel detached from your colleagues. They're in the same boat as you. Also, increasing your network doesn't hurt. There's a risk in being known as the quiet or moody guy who doesn't interact with anyone. It might make you enjoy your work more too.

I think about this as democratization of content creation, now people who were shy but have immense knowledge can share what they know to the world. Think about the accessibility unlock that happens with a product like this. The biggest problem we saw when we created incredible.dev was that extremely talented developers were reluctant to come in front of a camera, but they wrote amazing scripts. They knew what they were talking about, but the only blocker was themselves. This product can unlock knowledge like never before, people get to stay relevant in the fast-paced video first world.
Wow what an incredibly interesting article. Thank you for sharing.
Nvidia’s $589B DeepSeek rout
The fidelity issues are still there if you are loading Microsoft formats into LO. All the Microsoft format specificions are a insanely long, complex messes that even Microsoft doesn't follow, so I suspect that will always be so. But Office now read/writes ODF files, so you can ask it to convert into something LO is the authority on. That also means you can send an office user an ODF file, and expect it to be displayed sensibly.

So the friction is still there, but it's a lot less now.

Looking at weight is overrated. Unless you're actually massive it usually doesn't matter for space at all.

My BMI is over 25 but yesterday, in a normal train, I could hardly use my large laptop because my arms are long and my shoulders are wide. My ass fit into the seat without any problems. Also surprisingly, legroom was good.
Yes, but it's worth mentioning that the break consisted of opening up the phone and soldering on a bypass for the carrier card locking logic. That certainly required some skills to do, but is not an attack Apple was defending against. This unlocking break didn't really lead to anything, and was unlike the later software unlocking methods that could be widely deployed.
It's actually madness that they don't spec a maintenance plan. My 2019 Kona EV comes with a maintenance plan, but everything is "inspect" and then maybe a "replace" on some of the fluids every 100k km or so.

In essence there is zero maintenance, but Hyundai makes it clear that annual inspection of everything is still important, and they will absolutely void your warranty if you skip such a "service" (inspection).
> A typical Hacker News denizen is someone within the US IT industry.

You'd be surprised.

I never said that the EU isn't in need of a reform, just that I wouldn't trade the American problems (opiod crisis, mostly non-walkable cities, gated communities, lack of public transport, lack of architecture older than a couple of hundred years, lack of proximity to other major linguistic centres except Mexico, insane tipping culture, rampant poverty, and let's not talk about the political system, ...) for the ones we have. Others may think differently, that's fine.
I can't really fully understand what "Microsoft 365" stands for. Microsoft years in day? Microsoft all year? hard to understand. Sounds like some kind of new super-term for their Office products. In that case, LibreOffice works absolutely fine inside my company. Element works alright for secure e2ee messaging. For storage and document collaboration we are using a self-hosted Nextcloud cluster. All of these solutions are free and have no upfront fee, but they have some maintenance costs of course, yet I think they are magnitudes lower that M$ could scam us for. The AI tooling you can definitely integrate in the workflow yourself if you need them (we don't). As non-us company inside security field, we have little trust towards microsoft to store the sensitive data on their cloud services, and generally the amount of measures taken against corporate espionage is higher – communications are taken through verified and trusted e2ee mediums, and it's common to host enterprise infrastructure on-premises – it's totally realistic to have your company data and communications never leave your virtual private network, and it's a good practice to do so in my opinion.

The Slovak government literally wants to try slavery light for doctors.

They passed a bill that makes it a crime for doctors to "avoid work" in some conditions, and these conditions aren't just natural catastrophes etc., but any "emergency due to deficiencies of healthcare" that the government declares at will.

As I understand it, they only deleted old threads. So, you're right, it was providing free support, but only for old versions of their software, so they didn't make any money out of that. The theory is, if people struggle with those then they might be pushed towards their newer versions (where forum threads haven't been deleted) and so they have to pay up.

I'm not an Autodesk user (of any version) but this seems more plausible to me than LLM experiments or hosting costs.
I'd say it's 33/33/33 whether it was Russia, Ukraine or NATO countries that blew up Nord Stream.

Russia shut down transfers through Nord Stream months before it blew up, used lots of excuses not to re-open it (they said they need a turbine that they can't get cause sanctions - sanctions were lifted, Russia still said it won't reopen it cause "it got broken even worse").

Blowing up Nord Stream could be simply a way for Gazprom to blackmail Germany energetically without having to pay fines for missed deliveries.
> the techniques to manage the headcount people are different

I would like to hear a little bit more about those techniques.

The only one I am aware of is to make sure that you have promotions under your belt: The arm's-length people who plan layoffs know very little about the individual's other than their job title and rank. But this advice is hardly useful: it is extremely rare for an individual to have a choice of whether to be promoted or something different.

What other techniques are you aware of?

I've sent the suggestion (many times) that they put in an option to let me turn this off, but they obviously haven't got around to this one yet. So I don't think that we can expect the opt-out options suggested by the article any time soon.

Sadly, this is true, but this company was world-famous for insanely high-Quality products. It was definitely crucial to their brand. They needed to attract top-shelf talent, and that brand reputation was important for this. I worked as a peer, with some of the top scientists and engineers in my field.

That reputation took a big hit, over the the time that I worked for them. I think they damn near went belly-up, after 100 years.

They seem to be (slowly) getting their act together, once again. I sincerely wish them luck.
