I love the idea of Durable Objects, and have thoughts about it in the health space (although having a single provider of them is probably a bad thing) but cross-cutting questions such as this seem to be quite difficult to achieve.

From the chat logs example in your article: how do you cope with a requirement such as "I as a user want to see all my latest thread activity in one place, across all my chat rooms?"
I do not see any efforts or plans to make "more efficient" or "technologically supported" or even "harder working force". Like, none at all. You need to spend money to make technological improvements. You do not achieve harder working force by firing people randomly. And if you want to be efficient, you have to think first.

Also, weather balloons are automated data collection. Satellites are more expensive, so if you replace balloons by satellites, Musk may get richer, but money wont be saved.

Also, most jobs get weekends, generally you do not worry about arbitrary firing tomorrow aaaand most of us can afford mistakes. Especially programmers and tech types.
I like your approach but it's not clear to me whether it's MCP compatible

A modern equivalent to the 'usenet death penalty' is what's really needed. Without a grassroots method to censure and more or less permanently injunct and/or eject bad actors, you can't stop them from harvesting profit from the ecosystem to the exclusion of all other concerns.

Most of those advances are a result of government funding.

Fixing that "long chain" requires rebuilding a majority of American cities, and relocating a large portion of American citizens.

Sure, maybe it can be done incrementally. But it isn't being done very quickly or well, even in Seattle where I know folks are trying.

Does solving those systemic, political, societal and human issues seem easier than building a quiet drone?
MacOS has gone downhill like crazy indeed. On an M4, searching my safari history is super slow, searching for a password in the Passwords app is also really slow. I mean these are just lists. Apps steal focus all the time, Finder window column widths reset whenever they feel like, search in Mail sometimes just refuses to work. iCloud tab syncing? haha, not today, maybe next week again. You could probably write a dissertation on the new, new system preferences app.
The "zoning was done by the racists" along with "white flight was what destroyed the cities" is a dumb just-so narrative that the modern analogues of those people peddle so that they may distance their analogously poor sighted idea, movements, advocacy and politics from the mistakes that the

The fundamental problem is that a large part of the population feels entitled to use government to micromanage things that are better off just not managed at all.

It is none of your business what your neighbor puts on their property whether it's a homeless shelter or luxury apartment or a bodega or a fancy coffee shop. Real estate development is something market solves very well if people mind their own business and not other people's business.
Peter used to consult/collaborate with my lab. He was a proponent of moving remote sensing computations closer to the sensor ("edge computing" these days).

You could definitely make the intellectual case for this approach. In cases where there's latency or costs associated with moving data to central computing, this makes sense. (In our case, it was space-based sensors so you could make the case that way.)

But AFAIK this style of processing was never systematically adopted in any space-based processing system, although many such systems (like radars) have ad hoc data reductions performed in hardware close to the sensor.

Thanks for providing that connection!

> I know a lot of people don't like it, but since Microsoft introduced it I've had no trouble authenticating into SMB shares in home and SMB environments.

Same. I get that people don't like having to "buy" into an ecosystem. But credit where it's due - Microsoft eliminated dozens of different logins over the last decade. If you jump between multiple machines all the time, it's legitimately a decent experience. You can even be simultaneously logged into your personal and work OneDrives at the same time under the same user and everything just pretty much works.
Now the money question: can anyone come up with a benchmark where, due to the JIT, C++/CLI runs faster than normal C++ compiled for the same CPU?

In the age of digital data storage and keyboards, these writing tools do not get the attention and celebration they deserve.

There are tools so unique that really changes how you think and how you write. Some of these tools are so timeless and they are irreplaceable.

When you acquire one of these tools, and appreciate all the craftsmanship and engineering went into these things, and notice how all blends and becomes invisible, you realize that that simple thing is not that simple in the end.

I'm very grateful that the great papers, pens and all these supplies are still made, albeit in smaller varieties and numbers since the demand is lower than before. But, nothing replaces a silent thinking session on a good paper with good set of writing utensils. No notifications, no indirections, nothing. Just directly projecting your thoughts to a medium which has no batteries, encryption, etc.

Very personal, and much more productive.

I am a visual designer that has historically focused on branding and identity work, but am now looking to transition into more web/UI/digital-first work. I am most interested in working with design studios that are focused on digital-first or creative technology, or brands in the science/fashion/athletics industries that believe good design can make a meaningful difference in their trajectory.
A huge part of that has to be that in modern day society we're constantly bombarded with those one-in-a-million stories that are presented as if they're the norm. And don't get me started on things like sports stars with insanely rare genetic gifts who then write books that say "And I knew it would just take hard work to make my dreams would come true" - sure, you worked hard, but so did a bajillion other folks who didn't win the genetic lottery that you've never heard of. And in many places, like the US, it's also widely preached and believed that the US is a meritocracy, and that anyone can achieve greatness if they work hard enough. I don't really want to get into the "meritocracy" debate but I hope everyone can at least acknowledge that luck is a huge component of any exceptional success.

Before global media, for the most part if you were comparing yourself to other people it was largely comparing against your friends, family and community. Sure, there may have been that one outsized success, but it still wasn't presented as the norm - you knew all the other friends and family that just had average lives. And for most of human history where social ranking was explicitly classed based, it's not like if you were a peasant you would think "Darn, if I only worked harder I could be a noble".

If you want to feel "less hard on yourself", I highly recommend disconnecting from digital media. It's hard for our human brains to deal with the constant onslaught of stars/celebrities/moguls/exceptions and understand how rare those examples truly are.
Interesting. Is Musk not aware that SpaceX relies on NOAA forecasts to determine safe launch windows?

Are these people aware that farmers critically depend on this service? I know the GOP hates the climate data, but farmers need that data, which is why it was being collected in the first place.

Are these people aware of how much industry critically depend on this service? They need to know storm paths and impacts to understand whether operations should be curtailed or halted. Think offshore oil rigs as just one example. Aviation is another example.

I don't think a Ready, Fire, Aim approach is the right way to go about reducing government spending. In fact, it's stupid.
I fret over this sometimes. I feel a mentality that helps me is, just forget about things like this and focus on building, bigger, better, more value providing products one after the other.

I, and many others in our personal capacity, have been shouting from hn-rooftops how Apple’s software capacity has been in a state of, since a decade or so (or more really) that calling it bad would be an understatement. It’s downright pathetic. It’s disgustingly incompetent. And I haven’t not even started on its services like iCloud. Because those go beyond pathetic.

I mean for god’s sake these morons (yes, “morons”) have not yet figured out how yo sync browser tabs which is something new browsers get right in a few days to few weeks time, and sometimes on top of their incompetently done iCloud and related SDKs.

Apple sometimes comes across as a glasshouse built as marketing, too much money, (sadly) a huge army of fans and loyalist apologists (and not demanding customers), and an absolute lack of decent competition; and the biggest of it — a deliberate attitude of non-openness!

I mean everything Apple is closed! So how can anyone even quantify how bad their iOS is, how smelly their cloud suites are, how ridiculous their security is!! If you can’t see what happens behind a wall and the entity behind that wall has money more than most nations and a PR and tech propaganda machinery rivaling some of “those” nation states, how can you even be sure!

Okay, so he got the interviews, but did he pass them?

In the place I work for, when engineers are going to conduct technical interviews, the only preparation material they are given is the candidate's resume. So we try to ask questions based on their experience in the places they claimed to have worked for. It's not super hard to realize the job description in the resume is embellished once you start asking questions, but yes this is not fool-proof. Still, the best candidates will often have very interesting discussions about challenges they had in their previous jobs and be able to properly articulate what they did and why and how. If you're gonna lie, you better back it up very well.
Maybe the "allocate as little as possible, use sun.misc.Unsafe a lot, have lots of long-lived global arrays" style of Java programming some high-performance Java programs use would get close to being a good stand-in.

InnoVint | Wine Production Software | Remote (US-based) | FT | Senior BE Developer (Django/Python)

We're looking for another great back end developer to join our team. We are a company of 30 large and have been operating for over 10 years. We are not VC backed and operate as an independent company with startup mentality.

InnoVint is the world's leading SaaS solution for wineries and wine producers. We are and have always been a well-performing, tight knit virtual team that meets several times a year in the real world (usually a wine destination!). About half the team has some wine production experience. If you love the idea of being part of the wine industry, but haven't yet considered combining your experience in SaaS and tech, maybe InnoVint is the perfect company for you. If you are a reformed or aspiring winemaker, that's even better!

This is a great opportunity to work with an excellent and passionate team, serving a really fun and interesting market - commercial wineries. If you're interested in a more concrete visual understanding of InnoVint's market leading wine production software, here's a short video showing the software in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNBBZz08DWY

In my opinion training on all music is no more theft than Taylor Swift listening to the radio growing up (as long as we don't regurgitate existing songs which would be bad and useless anyway). I think an alternative legal interpretation where all of humanity's musical knowledge and history are controlled by three megacorporations (UMG/Sony/Warner) would be kinda depressing. If the above is true we might as well shutdown OpenAI and delete all LLM weights while we're at it, losing massive value to humanity.

Absolutely! Not sure where I said corporations deserve all the credit for modern society.
I'm not an example of anything, but it happens that I was concerned about mortality from about age 7 - not frightened of it, but indignant. This should obviously be the most urgent concern for everybody, yet we do nothing about it, I thought. Before I decide what I'm going to do with my life, I'm going to fix the problem of it ending way too soon. But as it turned out, I would rather die than study molecular biology, so now I just vaguely hope somebody else will fix the problem.

The problem I have with the idea of subsidising small drones as a proxy for defense is that they solve very different problems: Making a small quadcopter that flies is now entirely solved: you take an open source autopilot, put it on some open source autopilot board, and that's it.

If you go further than that, successfully producing delivery drones means that they need to carry a payload safely to some destination, deliver the payload nicely (as in, smoothly leave a parcel on the ground), come back and be reusable. The drone flies by GPS, but doesn't really need a radio signal (ideally there is no operator, the drone just goes, delivers and comes back).

Killer drones are "one-way". They are defined by a lifetime of like 25min, ending up violently in a place where the operators care about maximising damage. They fly in war zones. Nobody really cares if some percentage of the drones falls from the sky or doesn't explode upon contact. They need to fly in GPS-denied mode, and they probably need a radio for the operator to select the target when the times comes. This has to be a military-grade radio that works in the presence of jamming to some extent.

Those are very different projects. Feels a bit like saying that subsidising personal cars is good for the tank business.
Thank you! I can't believe I missed this before. Much appreciated :)
You can do a lot better than this, by using Go as a JIT code generator, dynamically linking the result, and jumping into it with cgo. Easily saturates the CPU vector math units.

I use exactly this approach for the futures/options prediction transformers on my website.

But I will never "open" another piece of software, now that it's all grist for the LLM code generator industry. Anonymous common property, sold by the LLM companies. No credit to the author.

Why anyone opens any software anymore is a mystery to me. We are witnessing the greatest theft of intellectual property in the history of Man.
