You might be interested to know that the video feed (the marketing one at least, not the one for engineers) for the recent boom supersonic flight was just a phone and a starlink in one of the planes following. Things can be done.
> If the gathering does not have a permit, it is illegal

This is not true, unless it is in a public forum limited in “time, place, and manner”. The first amendment grants freedom of assembly. You do not need a permit to meet up with (dozens of) your friends any more than you need a permit to write in a journal.
The time to certify life-or-death changes to systems exceeds the time to train more people, or pay better to retain existing staff.

"do both" is actually a good answer. The Manhatten project did this. Thermal diffusion and other forms of concentration were initially put head-to-head in competition. It took a while for people to realise both worked, and should be run in parallel or even enriching feedstock. A competitive A or B not both position would not have worked out better.

So yes. research tech replacement, but expect it to be a 15-20 year project with the same costs as other 15-20 year projects. At the same time, don't assume tech will solve social issues, and pay ATC better and increase richness of training programmes by cloning the schools.
Realistically, because standing up a new academy isn't fast, and everyone wants fast solutions and won't invest long term. That isn't a party line thing, both parties have that issue.
So he fosters competence with his incompetence? Seems like it would work just as well without him except for marketing. I'm impressed with Tesla and SpaceX as a whole, but from what I've heard, he hasn't been heavily involved with day to day decisions for more than a decade. From my perspective, his role is to be a hype man that consistently over promises and under delivers.
Also cheap because the entire world subsidizes China-to-elsewhere shipping via the UPU continuing to classify them a “developing country”.
Thank you for your feedback! Maybe something else that we could add to your platform could be useful for a job seekers on your opinion?
Sure, I'm primarily a C# programmer which does have a dynamic type object, and occasionally use VB which uses late binding and can use dynamic typing as well.

You want to know how often I find dynamic typing the correct tool for the job? It's literally never.

Dynamic typing does allow you to do things faster as long as you can keep the whole type system in your head, which is why JavaScript was designed the way it was. That doesn't mean it is necessary to do any of those things, or is even the best way to do it.

You’re welcome to think that, but it's not a dumb take — it is an aesthetic and technical take (you know, de gustibus non est disputandum).

My attention is valuable (at least to me and those around me), and I choose not to waste that attention on applications that are built with a framework that quite deliberately disrespects the platforms I choose while presenting a badly drawn version of the thinnest layer.

On macOS and iOS, Flutter pretends to conform to platform standards, but it does so very badly (I can always tell if I'm using a Flutter app; it's just off…and my battery life suffers because Flutter is such a bad citizen). Honestly, I probably wouldn't hate Flutter on iOS if it didn't pretend to conform to iOS standards while missing the mark (just like every Google app misses the mark on what an iOS app should look like; it's just wrong).

On the web, Flutter is even worse by pretending that there's only one HTML tag, <canvas>, and throwing away _all_ of the rest of HTML to do everything else that HTML does, but worse and less accessibly. That, ultimately, is unforgivable and a waste of everyone's time.

Regardless of how useful gioazzi's project may be, the technical choices made put it well outside of the boundaries where I am comfortable recommending its use to anyone — and that's fine. I posted a similar take about someone who did a Show HN about a project they made which required a Google login; I was interested in seeing what they had done until I saw that requirement. That technical choice, while a valid one, put it well outside of my "I will try this thing at all" zone.

I shared this stance because I know I’m not alone, and people need to know if their architectural choices put them outside of the market they are targeting. I might or might not be in their market, but it's still a useful thing to know that there's this one asshole in Toronto who won't use it because they took the "easy" way out for pseudo-cross-platform support. (I do not have the same reaction to React Native, but that's because it ultimately doesn't try to emulate the platform.)
Not so much anymore. Aliexpress shipping has become quite a bit more expensive lately (unless it's "Choice"). Somewhere in this thread you can see my theory about their "Choice" shipping service.
I can explain why we intentionally keep interviews to 20 minutes - research and our experience show that's the sweet spot for productive technical interviews. Longer sessions often lead to mental fatigue and diminishing returns, while our focused format helps candidates maintain peak performance and get actionable feedback. Plus, you can do multiple sessions to practice different skills, making it much more effective than one long, exhausting interview
Yes, unsafe code is problematic in Rust, C, C++, etc. Is Zig different?
Yes, you can do some of that.

But a lot of low hanging fruit has been picked. (And that's good, that's how progress works.

Compare to how saving an additional life in the US is a lot more expensive than saving one in South Sudan. That's because people in the US have (approximately) already saved all the lives they can save for cheap.)
the barrier between unsafe and safe has additional rules. it’s not “just dropping to unsafe” – you need to make sure you leave it safely.
This is precisely the myth that the article talks about. Miri finds significantly more UB in unsafe Rust than Zig's checks do.

Even if it weren't, this exaggeration is a complete theater. You aren't supposed to use unsafe Rust unless you really have to. I have been using Rust since 2020 and I've used it once, for 3 lines of code. The entirety of all Zig codebases is unsafe. That's fine if you are fine with unsafe code, but this myth is dishonest, and I take great issue with using a language where the founder is the primary source of the dishonesty - because what else is being swept under the rug?
I understand the privacy concern - that's why we don't store any video/audio data and only use practice sessions to provide immediate feedback. We're developers ourselves and take data privacy seriously.
Do they have a human CEO? Why did that human CEO allow themselves to be replaced? Is that CEO not a good presenter?
You don't even need to look for the count of billionaires. My grandparents were poor-as-dirt farmers. My dad's education stopped at high school. He even went to a one-room schoolhouse until he was 14.

My brother and I are both college educated and, while not "rich", have a lifestyle and income my grandparents could have only dreamed about.

It is truly painful to watch people preach learned helplessness through failure and destitution as the only possible outcome.
I hear your concerns about AI's role in hiring. Our goal isn't to dehumanize interviews, but rather to help candidates build real confidence and skills in a low-pressure environment. We aim to make the hiring process more accessible and fair, not more artificial
Just said I don't want color==never.

That's the problem, no one can cogently/concisely explain why. I don't love git but have sanded its rough edges already. Gitlab did the rest.

I recommend this Spolsky classic on how to convince one to try a new VCS: https://hginit.github.io/ Doesn't have to be this long but note his writing style.
You are over-estimating the financial sector. They don't model these things. Models are rather simple (US 0% risk, this country x% risk because a handful of institutions said, etc...). There is really not much science, research or sophistication there. Take the stock market, pretty much everyone is following everyone else.
> Remember that something being a culture is about pervasiveness and normalization. It's not a mob harassing your employer because you posted photos with the wrong brand of political attire; it's it being culturally acceptable for a mob to harass your employer because you posted photos with the wrong brand of political attire.

And, and that's been true forever; in fact what is attributed to cancel culture is mild compared to what has been socially acceptable within living memory for displays of political wrongthink, what changed is that that comparatively mild social consequence became acceptable against the side which had previously only been the giver but not receiver of socially acceptable consequence for noncompliance with their norms.

As I pointed out they also route all of their traffic through Cloudflare. They also have been caught red-handed logging the IP of an activist despite having previously advertised that they didn't keep any logs.
Now they are using misleading terms such as "privacy by default" which according to them means that by default they won't log you but that they can be "forced" to log a user if a law enforcement agency asks them to do so...

A commit is literally a snapshot :) It is also very easy to make.

Stop worrying about titles and content and commit to your heart’s content.

When ready, restructure those snapshots into a coherent story you want to tell others by squashing commits and giving the remaining ones proper titles and commit messages. I use interactive rebase for that, but there are probably other ways too.
The advice to boys/girls felt very real. And also, objectively not equal.

Girl: lower your standards.

Boy: pay a photographer to look nicer.

This double disadvantages women as I see it: Their standards are held to be unrealistic (downpoint) and they have to incur the dissatisfaction of beleiving it, and acting on it to lower their expectations. AND Boys are expected to glam up and project a demonstrably less real state of themselves, to get over this bar. So women have to accept lies, and tolerate reality.

Turns out even highly motivated professionals don't understand that correlation is not causality:

> For girls, it is the number of likes sent; the number of likes received has no impact on retention, maybe a little bit but less than 1%. The number of likes sent has a huge impact; a user that liked no profile in her 100 first scrolls has a d30 of 12%, and 19% for girls that like 10 profiles and 16% for girls that liked 5 profiles. The d1 retention is almost 100% correlated to a girl sending 5 likes to active guys in the first 24 hours (the real thing is to get a match, but it is easy to get a match when a girl sends 5 likes). So to have the perfect d1 retention for girls, the only thing you should focus on is to get them to send 5 likes. And you have about 100 scrolls to do so.
Where is it sold?
No worries. My method worked and I am off the market.
I said I wasn't speaking for Zig specifically, just on general principle that errors are not really values. Many languages reify errors as values to avoid having different semantics for errors, but errors probably should have their own semantics. Zig seems to take a middle ground here, where errors are a special type of value but that still sort of has its own semantics.
> I am extremely sensitive to THC, in a way I am not to any other drugs. A small amount (5mg)

5mg is not a small amount for someone without tolerance.

An old chemistry major college friend went into the THC industry. His company was very careful about production, measurement, and labeling.

He said it was very common for people to tell him that they needed some high number of milligrams to feel anything, then they’d ask him for samples from his company. They’d take what they thought was their normal dose and get completely knocked out.

A lot of products are (or were in the past) apparently very optimistic about their THC content. 5mg is actually a significant dose for most people without tolerance.

> Of course, it gets political, but governments (and its people) are highly incentivized to make long term improvements and work at scales and problems that aren't as appropriate for individuals or even companies (companies must work on much smaller timescales).

What? Governments mostly care about the next election. Companies (and individuals) can plan for the long haul.

> Because I'd be setting up as many mega projects I could and give them indefinitely funding because you can't throw your money away faster than it grows.

Two problems: first, it's very easy to just throw away money for no good outcome. See eg the ISS or the Space Shuttle. Especially if there's no pressure at all.

Not getting in the way at all, also means not getting in the way of charlatans and grifters.

It's a hard problem to separate worthwhile projects from the chaff.

Second, it's very easy even for a billionaire to spend money faster than the make it.

For a simple example, Mark Zuckerberg owns a huge chunk of Facebook (and that's approximately his entire wealth). You can use publicly available stock price data to check how much his investments in the 'Metaverse' have hurt his net worth.
The use of plural really confused me. What little I knew of this previously, always seemed to talk in the singular. One place (Gabon) this happened to our knowledge. But, it happened more than once I find. I suppose for geological effects, time causes change, and sufficient change both physically (location) and pressure/temperature, and radiology, means the thing can happen again and again. Or, dispersed foci can react in shorter time, close to each other, until entropy sets in.

I couldn't believe it a few years ago when people were talking about NFTs as the 'future' of keeping track of property ownership for everything. Like, somebody stole a cryptographic key, now they can 'prove' they now own my house and I can't (code is law, right?). Or a relative died and now their crypto-currency keys are permanently inaccessible - now all their money is lost forever and nobody can inherit it, even with court order etc.!

That's just not the world most people want to live in...
If the advice had been "Boys: lower your standards, girls: pay a photographer" I wonder if you'd have said "guys just get to be dawgs, women have to spend money to beautify themselves".

It's refreshing to see someone say it.

As a (non-commercial) pilot it's honestly infuriating watching people who have never tried to fly a plane, never tried to locate and identify another aircraft from the air, and never controlled (or even sat with a controller or toured a tower, tracon, or center) make these claims and statements about how easy these problems they don't understand are to fix as if they're experts on the topic.

What leverage does the US government actually have?

Is "we just won't fund your drug, even though people will die and you're the only option on the market" actually something that could happen? Would that be politically palatable to anybody?

I guess there's patent invalidation and forced genericization, but that would kill innovation real quick.

I think a far better idea would be to impose very strict caps on admin / non-medical costs, potentially at the expense of paying a bit more to fraudsters, changing FDA regulations to minimize (death from side effects + death from no available drugs) instead of just the former, as well as becoming a lot more aggressive about expensive and unnecessary procedures that doctors perform to get rich quick.
That implies that Hungarian notation is not obnoxious? Sure, that's a fine opinion to have, but I guarantee it is an exceedingly rare one.

Yes. If you were hiring an engineer and you asked them a coding question, what would you think if the very first thing they did was start writing code without asking a single question? They’d fail the interview instantly, right?

These LLM’s seem to assume their job is to just write code instantly. No! Tell them to not do that! “No code yet, let’s make sure we are on the same page first. This is requirements and discussion, I’ll tell you when it’s time to write code” and go back and forth on requirements and stuff. If fact bake that into your “system prompt” or whatever your tool provides to set up the pre-prompt—I will straight up tell it what I just used as an example about failing an engineer who jumped right into writing code. That LLM had plenty of training data about why that is a bad idea! You just need to “remind it” by telling it.

These tool makers should honestly build that in by default but I bet a lot of people expect the magic genie to start writing magic code by just reading your mind or something. If they had it ask all those pesky requirements first, I bet they’d start failing some idiotic benchmarks or something.

In addition consider asking it if it has all the context it needs to help you. Sometimes it will say “no, can you let me see such and such class/file”.

Also I make sure to include the full path and file name at the top of all my files to help the LLm since I doubt that kind of metadata gets passed through otherwise. I’ll sometimes give it a “tree” of my own entire project so it knows where all the files are at.

Providing proper context is absolutely critical. This tool cannot read your mind! Tell it exactly what its role is and give it the context to do the job properly.

These things aren’t magic. Learn how they work a bit and then you’ll realize they are a really fancy command line interface or something… dunno how to describe it, but it’s just another way to interact with a computer. That’s all it is.
