who is "all you folks"? Kinda, how do you say, too vague to be useful?

and I'm sorry you were poor, sick, and badly educated, but the closest thing to "don't do that" was the American Rescue Plan's permanent child tax credit which cut child poverty in half and oh god wait that's a scheme in a huge bill and I've already lost everyone because that's still too complicated and now it's gone.

That's the problem. Every time you repeat the cynical meme that nothing can be done and all taxes are wasted and everything you sap strength from the progress that can be made when we actually pull in the same direction: https://www.economist.com/special-report/2019/09/26/the-offi...

The Tech Right ascendant (in this admin) claims AI is going to magically fix & improve systems, will let us fire thousands, tens or hundreds of thousands of people

Some of this is just a war against the middle class.

But more seriously this is a desire to let unregulated unchecked systems draw judgement upon people. This is like the UK postal crisis, where the UK has long held a legal system that assumed computerized systems are correct and not questionable.

Once the AI is in power, it can be tuned to the biases of the ultra-wealthy tech-right. Technocratic dominion.
There's also the many cases where the code is an actual mess because it had unclear requirements during its whole development, or it was written by someone who doesn't fully grasp the language they're using.

I've rewritten several of such projects, successfully reduced complexity and improved performances just by knowing what I am doing.
I couldn't stomach the cost. At the time you could get a PS2 for the same or less money, do I could never justify a PSP. Nowadays I'm not broke so maybe I could though, but that ingrained mental block of "too expensive" is hard to get past
This is exactly, precisely what my experience has been.
These days even if one writes in machine code it will be quite far away from the real silicon as that code has little to do with what CPU is actually doing. I suspect that C source code from, say, nineties was closer to the truth than the modern machine code.
SS and healthcare are the two most expensive parts and will likely always be, and the nature of healthcare is the average won't see anywhere near the amount of money they're spending. The social choice we've come to is we'll spend the money anyway because it's (in general) morally repulsive to let (most) medically-addressible suffering go on for want of money, so I'm not sure how we can get around that.
Whoa, thanks! Will definitely look into that
> smartest people I know at microsoft telling me that their current task is to add one iframe to the UI to inject more advertising (and that it had taken six months)

This is so sad. A good senior dev can accomplish a lot of good for the customer in 6 months, but instead they're adding ads to an operating system so some Principal Program Manager can get another promo for making his VP's ad revenue go slightly up.
I could see this as an adult, but as a kid, this thing was killer.

I remember thinking: "Whoa, burnout 3 is something I play on the big screen in the living room, and now it looks the same and I can play it on a handheld device?" (it definitely didn't look the same, but I was about 5 when it came out, so I never paid much attention to the differences. Also sorry if I'm making you feel old).

I also remember it being the first to do a joystick on a handheld. That was pretty cool.

But you just said that you had issues with ceph? How is that not a CSI problem?

And CNI problems are extremely normal. Pretty much anyone that didn't just use weavenet and called it a day has had to spend quiet a bit of time to figure it out. If you already know networking by heart it's obviously going to be easier, but few devs do.
The lie generator can very efficiently pull the relevant parts of the documentation and tutorials, and it's not that hard to programmatically ask it for a quote and compare it against the actual tutorial.
I read through the FAQ and the answer is "no", but they say it basically as "nobody really cares what your data is".

I wouldn't put anything confidential through it.
Also, the human effort required to make the redactions is high.

That means records cannot be automatically declassified after N years because the effort to redact every document created N years ago would be extreme.
>who don't like "magic" and want to understand where their code is running and what it's doing.

I just made this point in a post on my substack. Especially in regulated industries, you NEED to the able to explain your AI to the regulator. You can't have a situation where a human say "Well, gee I don't know. The AI told me to do it."
What’s it give you that is significant?
Wouldn't that hard choice be between not operating in that country (and losing a lot of money) versus selling out their customers? Is that a good position to put them in?

TikTok, Twitter etc show extremely distorted views of the world, just other bubbles.
the point is that all the things that commenter listed are enabled by the taxes we pay - it's the price we pay for living in a civilized society. Saying that they don't directly pay it misses the forest for the trees: we decide to pay taxes for things in a system that overall produces these outcomes, treating them separately is to split parts of a coevolved system

We have some really phoning it in zoom folks we've hired who do their job semi ok but are just awful and don't contribute to culture, are super dialed out.

I don't want to totally damn them, because they have families and lives and other things going. But I've had a number of coworkers tell me they have re-adapted their code review to say near nothing (it won't be well received) and to otherwise end their own good-culture practices to adapt to really hostile remote culture.

The thing is, this isn't at all zoom. This isn't remote. It's companies that are just shit poor bad about letting bottom up knowledge trickle up. It's about terrible management that has made being in touch with their workforce hard. And in most cases, that's not the workforce: it's the management, it's the company.

It's easier to do this job of running a company in person, to spy & get information. But it's your laziness, it's your being awful at your job, that makes you rely on this in-touch layer.
Very fair, although with managed services which are increasingly available, you don't typically need to think about CSI or CNI.

That's a pity.

I read and understood what you wrote (not that it is original). I explained why I disagree. If you don't agree with my reasoning that's fine, but don't insult my intelligence by implying I don't understand such simple things. You need to think through the implications of trying to make innocent people pay for the crimes of people in the past whose only connection to the modern innocent "privileged" is a vaguely similar physical characteristic. We don't demand that from families of criminals who are alive today, unless the families have money that is directly linked to a crime. And nobody would tolerate punitive measures against the innocent like that even with a direct familial relationship. How much less should we consider compensating the non-oppressed for dubious victimhood links spanning many decades or even hundreds of years? There are valid reasons for these groups to be distinguished besides "systemic oppression" such as physical and cultural differences that affect behavior.
There are a bunch of promising other ways to convert AC voltages.

The main one is the observation that the transformer uses an amount of copper and steel proportional to the power transmitted but inversely proportional to the frequency of operation.

The copper and steel cost of a transformer is the main cost (multiplied by the cost of capital for the 100+ years it will operate).

So if you can use solid state electronics to do switching at a higher frequency (switched mode power supplies, flyback designs, etc), then you can reduce the overall cost.
Not OP but it presumably uses an open LLM that won't run in a timely manner without being on a faster computer.
An axe for the sofa or the walls?
I don’t mean this as a slight, but this has to be written by a post-millennial. As a late gen-Xer, nothing about these letterforms were unusual or “ugly” to me as they were practically ubiquitous. They were just as common and valid as standard printed forms.

I suppose it’s something like how a modern reader might react to seeing a “long s” — ſ — for the first time.

Again, this isn’t meant to insult anyone, just that it’s really fascinating to see a different generational perspective here.
Honestly, that question could be asked about popular sports too ... exactly what thrill is there in beating some other team at kicking, bouncing or hitting a ball?

The need to expose SSE instruction to system languages tells that compilers are not good at translating straightforward code into optimal machine code. And using SSE properly allows often to speed up the code by several times.
Some of the games were awesome. I spent a lot of time playing the star wars battlefront game on there. And armored core formula front, wipeout, a few others.

You’re not wrong that a lot of them felt hollow. Like that assassin’s creed game that had virtually nobody walking around on the street and felt like a dead world as a result.

But there were some gems.
> We have some really dialing it in zoom folks we've hired

Do you mean “phoning it in”?

Being “dialed in” and “phoning it in” are opposites, it was a little unclear which you meant from context.
This is so well made.. congrats :)
Ok, now not only your pennies but your thousands of dollars in taxes will have a lot less oversight and will be vaccumed up by the mega billionares through contracts with the government. Will those contracts benefit you? Thats a good question. You want to go to mars? Or live in a country where workers are freely discarded when sick, whose rights are about to erode completely? Im afraid nothing good will come out of this unless you’re one of the few benefitting directly. The rest of us are not in for a good time.

> A 20-qubit quantum computer is not yet capable of outperforming classical supercomputers for most real-world problems.

This isn't the right way to think about this. No amount of qubits would allow you to outperform a classical computer on "most" real world problems. That is not how quantum computers work.

However you are right - anything quantum right now is proof of concept for the engineering problems, not being problem. (If you are being generous. If you are being less generous its about creating PR to get people's money)

No, he did a most of a decade hiding out in an diplomatic enclave to avoid legal process, and three years in jail fighting extradition; he spent no time under house arrest.
Show HN: I made a file sharing tool that encodes the files within the URL
I built this tool to transfer files using just the URL, without storing files on a server.

The file is Base64-encoded and embedded as a payload within the URL via the URI fragment (delineated by the # character) which means the file/payload shouldn't get sent to the server.

Built mainly for fun, but I have found limited use cases for it (eg. I use a shared mouse/keyboard + clipboard across multiple machines, so use this to transfer files between them; I also have found it useful for file transfers to mobiles - via Edge's URL to QR code feature).

It's really only suitable for small file transfers as you might imagine!
How do you get people to stop looking at their fucking phones during zoom meetings? Sure if we had a magic perfect management fairy that could sprinkle perfect management skills on the managers maybe people would be better at working remotely but people are mostly lazy and will mostly do whatever they can get away with. And its way easier to get away with looking at your fucking phone during a zoom meeting than an in person meeting.
There are so many things that hit differently with age and stage of life.

I really liked What Dreams May Come back in high school. Dante's Inferno, kind of, trip to Hell, Robin Williams, trippy paint scene.

I watched it again as a married adult with children, and barely made it through intact. That movie, based around the sudden loss of both children without a chance to say goodbye, and then the sudden loss of a spouse, and the descent into a mental hell and cage of ones own making... I missed all of that watching it in high school. I knew it was there, but it meant nothing, I'd not experienced any of that. It was a radically different movie to me, 20 years later. And I've not watched it since.

We use some of these terms in the U.S. too, but they are less common and/or mean something slightly different. Some carpenters and millwork companies will call casing architrave instead, but this seems be mostly used for classically inspired, high end work.

I think I've heard some carpenters call baseboard skirting, but the most common usage of "skirting board" is restricted to the baseboard like piece on the sides of stairs.

We have a term cove molding, but it is a particular style of crown molding.

A rail at 3/4 height we also call picture rail. I don't think I've heard of dado rail though.
Never read such an insulting and frankly dumb comment on Hackernews. Not only are you clueless but so far I've hoped comments like this would be flagged and deleted.
Love that the Kiwis turned up as the All Stacks (derived from the All Blacks).

We've also the Wheel Blacks for wheelchair rugby, the Tall Blacks for basketball, and of course, then in cricket it's the Black Caps. (A "cap" in cricket is when you get to play international cricket).

And of course the infamous time the national badminton team tried to call themselves the Black Cocks.

National soccer team is the All Whites.

And womens' sports teams tend to derive from the Silver Ferns (national netball team), plus a reference to their code.

So Black Ferns, rugby, White Ferns is not soccer as you'd expect, but cricket (the traditional "cricket whites" are only worn in test cricket these days), the soccer team is the Football Ferns.

And I'm unsure if there was ever a Fern Cocks badminton team.
Typst has a far easier to use packaging system but the default feature set is already good enough for the most.

Don't forget that many LaTeX packages exist solely because TeX and LaTeX suck and they are very underengineered save-the-day type of languages. They survived since everybody else asked money for their better typesetting systems. It is quite similar to how Unix and Unix-like systems survived despite the mountains of OS research and many new, more secure (usually paid) OS implementations.
The project isn't stalled they can implement it directly in the driver, they wanted to put it together with DMA code because it wouldn't need to be copied to every driver, what's fine, but the project isn't stalled
Fwiw Runpod also has a startup program.

I think the ripping out of woke stuff is mostly marketing for the political base. Sure, Trump and Musk have some personal stake in it too, but it's not the point.

I wouldn't say they're "burning things down for the sake of burning things down", though. The truth is somewhere between what you and gp are contending. There's no moral framework, but there is a framework. They're burning things down so that "the free market" can replace the things they burn down and capture the money that used to go towards doing those things for the public good, and instead do those things for a private profit.
I enjoyed the year I consulted at JPMC, they have some sharp people, and on the surface of it, who am I to criticise the boss of such a successful company? OTOH…

I can see the argument that young people aren’t being exposed to older peers the same way and their learning may be stunted.

But… I haven’t set foot in an office for five years now and I’m as productive as I ever was. Possibly more.

As for his “people are distracted during meetings”, perhaps there ought to be more focus on only holding necessary meetings, rather than dragging people in when there’s no reason for them to be there and nothing to hold their interest? In my experience that’s the cause of a lot of the snark and slacking.
How do you get management to take their job seriously? Sure if we had magic perfect meeting dust but people are mostly lazy…

Newer hardware has accelerators for encryption, but that can be done in software too. AFAIK the physical layer is the same, and WEP/WPA/WPA2 are layers on top, implemented by firmware or host software.
Creativity (the ability to form novel ideas, use imagination, engage in investigation, etc.) is a critical component of many workplaces, including banking and finance. Creativity is not a dirty word, nor is it a positive one. Creativity can be used for positive and negative ends.

Do you re-read books you've purchased, or do you buy them for a single read? I've listened to a few thousand audiobooks, over several years, mostly borrowed from the library.
