Manifesto:
Manufacturing is important. It’s the fundamental industry on which everything else is built. We take it for granted. In 1989, 35% of the entire software industry was manufacturing systems. Back then, services, hand holding, customization, and consulting were necessary to get the systems to where they are today. What was the first massive burst in productivity from technology has stagnated into incremental diminishing returns and exponentially increasing complexity. We can only continue to add complexity for so much longer until the whole system collapses.
"Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex. It takes a touch of genius and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction."
Manufacturing is important. We must deliver a touch of technological genius to reintroduce simplicity, efficiency, and integration.

There's a name for that: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spoils_system .
With the amount of utter trash that modern Hollywood puts out, combined with the Oscars always feeling like a "pat on the back for rich snobs," I am just genuinely happy to see something like this win anything at all.

Seems like a fluke, though.
For UBO, first they'd need to implement MV3 while still keeping webRequestBlocking.. it seems that there's currently no information about this, so I asked them:
https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/discussions/35...

In general it involves setting ExtensionInstallForcelist, but I haven't tried it in practice yet, it's a concept..

The aircraft carrier made the battleship obsolete, and I think most war strategists acknowledge that drones and cruise missiles have made the aircraft carrier obsolete in a true hot war. We haven't seen one of those sink yet, but well, Russia controls the historically strategic port of Sevastopol, and yet what's left of their Black Sea fleet has retreated to ports back behind Stormshadow range. Taiwan plans are definitely looking at cruise-missile-vs-airplane-range ratios.

So yes, drones and other unmanned munitions are game changers. I just wish the argument wasn't "increase civilian drones so we have a rich and vibrant military industrial complex ready for when we get to destroy things."

Then again, some of what the article is kinda saying is "if there's civilian applications for this, you don't need to have a military industrial complex (until you're forced to on a wartime footing, at which point you're not starting from zero)." Which is basically the strategic-importance argument that is keeping Boeing afloat these days...
With all respect that sounds like excuse-making. I mean, yeah, Javascript and JVM and .NET are slower runtimes than C or Rust[1]. Nonetheless that's the world we live in, and if you have a performance-sensitive problem to solve you pick up rustc or g++ and not a managed runtime. If that's wrong, someone's got to actually show that it's wrong.

[1] Maybe Go or Swift would be more apples-to-apples. But even then are there clear benchmarks showing Kotlin or C# beating similar AoT code? If anything the general sense of the community is that Go is faster than Java.
Yes, I agree. If I'm navigating, then an incoming call shouldn't block the entire screen with the avatar of who is calling, the map has to remain visible at all times. If even one person from Apple would have tested the scenario of "I'm navigating with a map and someone calls me", they'd see how dangerous their current implementation is.

I have had to reject/hang up so many calls because someone calls exactly when I'm trying to figure out where to go by looking at the map. In my mind, what Apple is currently doing should be outright illegal.
> But this silly desire to be an exceptional young writer wasn’t egoistic craving. It was a biological obligation.

I experienced the same when I was in my 20s.

I do think it fades away as you get older. I also suspect it's greatly motivated by biology. Doing something exceptional to be perceived as a good mating partner? Also possibly to personal trauma (low self esteem etc).
"and assess financial penalties for failed tests"

That's an immediate nope for me. I don't care if I can file a dispute, unless I can resolve it then and there, I'm not going to be at the whim of some faceless escalation system, or an uninformed CS agent.
I don’t know how people aren’t reading an implied critique in this piece. Is it a kind of writing that many HNers are unfamiliar with, or something?
> Agreed; Apple's software quality is rapidly approaching unacceptability.

But since sales go brrrrr and so does the stock, why should they care?
Surge AI (https://surgehq.ai/careers) | Software Engineers (full-stack / product https://surgeai.notion.site/Product-Engineer-4211688ff99b46d...) and Strategic Project Lead (https://surgeai.notion.site/Strategic-Projects-Lead-Generati...) | Full-time | ONSITE SF or NYC Hybrid

Our mission at Surge is to build the human infrastructure behind the next wave of AI and LLMs. We operate a data platform that powers AI teams at OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta, Google, and more. This year, we're focused on extending our platform to support agentic workflows and help our clients ship agents that interact with the world. Here are some examples of our past work:

- Creating the GSM8K dataset: https://www.surgehq.ai/blog/how-we-built-it-openais-gsm8k-da...

- Collecting RLHF data for Anthropic's Claude: https://www.surgehq.ai/case-studies/anthropic-claude-surgeai...

You’d be joining a small, rapidly growing team of former engineering and ML leaders from Google, Meta, Twitter, and Airbnb. We work in small groups, ship quickly, and value autonomy and ownership. No previous AI experience is required, if you have the engineering skills you can learn what you need on the job.

We're looking for senior engineers to work out of our offices in SF or NYC, or remotely. Please reach out to us at careers@surgehq.ai with a resume and 2-3 sentences describing your interest. Excited to hear from you!
I think you miss that a lot of people already have those feelings, so the article isn't pushing bad vibes, it's coming to terms with them. Obviously people are different so not everyone feels this way and of course there are degrees to how much one might relate to the article.
It's no business of the browser to know if there is an active and usable internet connection. All it needs to know are the responses to the URLs I have asked it to request.
can confirm. no matter what tool the org uses overall, there is an excel sheet somewhere that is the place stakeholders look.
> I guess consensus is that V8 has come closest?

V8 better than the JVM? Insanity, maybe it can come to within an order of magnitude in terms of performance.
A is meaningless. Juries can be overruled but that provides no reasoning as to why this one should be other than vague handwaves in the direction of historicity that even you feel the need to caveat with the word "arguably". If it's arguable, argue it.

B is sort of begging the question. You start by saying the award is too much and your proof is just you saying the award is too much a second time.

As far as C goes, yes, eventually. But a more accurate example would be a guy selling marijuana to thousands of people and then telling them over and over again despite multiple court orders to go smoke it in the park.

For D, again, we're dealing with direct incitement of illegal behavior. Not "someone should kill that guy" but "you need to go kill that guy right now" and again you're ignoring the context of multiple cease and desist orders that were willfully defied. A court system whose only answer to defiance is politely asking a second time is not a court system.
> How did that claim cause 1.5 Billion, with a B, in damages to the victims?

Go ask the parents of the victims about the amount of harrassment, bullying and outright abuse they were subjected to. $1.5 billion is probably way too low for seeing a bullet hole in your 7 year old's head and then being told that it didn't happen.

I wouldn't accept a trillion dollars for that.

but the hardware premium is kinda real... i have been using my macbook air 11 daily for 10 years (I am writing this comment on it), and it works flawlessly. somehow i don't think other brands are so well made, or they weren't so well made 10 years ago.
Almost all airports start out outside the city, even the smaller ones.

Cities grow around them.

NIMBY is a reality that has to be taken into account; but often the problems associated with it are "small enough" that money solves it - who would complain about the Amazon drone-depot behind them if Amazon was paying their property tax to have it there?
> Yes it's still better to talk to people next to a physical whiteboard, but it only matters very occasionally.

Though I love a good whiteboard sess, a tablet with a stylus and one of many "interactive whiteboard applications" can also be pretty useful. Hard to have a whiteboard session good enough to compensate for the grueling traffic of most HCOL regions a good portion of us likely work in.
Why cant you write for the enjoyment of writing? Why do you need to write the best novel ever. I guess that's where I'm at in life. Whats the point of being great or the best at something? Do things because they're enjoyable, "the journey", trying to be the best will inevitably lead to burn out and not necessarily happiness. Ive frequently seen world champions say they didn't know what is next. If you write this world wide acclaimed novel, what now?

I don't relate to the travel stuff, travel imo isn't shopping around for a place to live. Its opportunities to learn about the world and enrich my life with experiences and learn about cultures and people.

You can still meet people you idolize, they're probably highly skilled in an area your interested in. Meeting idols is a chance to learn from them, thats exciting.

Aging sucks though, What i struggle with is being slower, more tired, weaker, maybe even less creative. it takes the day to day joy out of doing things. There less opportunities to reach personal goals
> They don't exist in the sphere of highly paid professionals, though, because they're eminently practical from a commercial standpoint and sell inexpensive junk food, novelty knives, figurines, cigarettes, and whatever you'd imagine being there just to move off the shelves.

That's a different thing. What they're talking about is, effectively, just a very small supermarket, usually run by national chains. I have in walking distance of me about six instances of Tesco; one big one, one medium one, three small ones (single storefront) and one tiny one (convenience store sized). They all have basically the same core stock, at _mostly_ the same prices (I think the really tiny one is a little more expensive).

Then solve the underlying problem, I would say: why is it not viable to cycle one mile in those areas?
Mail on iOS doesn’t even have push any more, the new Photos app is garbage, Music randomly spews “content not available” errors and works remarkably poorly with mobile data for a mobile app, watchOS is so chock-full of bugs and glitches that just go unfixed major version after major version etc.

It’s pretty bad. Somehow most other software is even worse. Genuinely impressive at this point.
I call shenanigans on the whole idea of publication as a success metric. I say this as someone who made a very successful career out of publishing for fifteen years. I was publishing non-fiction (scientific papers) rather than novels but I think the underlying social dynamic is the same: there is a small group of gatekeepers (peers in my case, publishers in the other) who decide your fate, and their decisions are not necessarily based on any kind of objective merit. In fact the whole idea of objective merit in fiction is highly questionable IMHO. Personally, I find most fiction to be unreadable, and "literary fiction" especially so. It's pretentious, designed more to be a virtue signal than anything else. You put the book on your shelf to make people think you've read it rather than actually gaining any value from reading it, just as you cite the paper not because you think it has merit but because the author of the paper you're citing is on the review committee. It's not all politics, but it's a hell of a lot of politics. At best the literary emperor is wearing a thong.
> For years, many of us have willingly paid the "Apple tax", the premium price for Apple products justified by superior user experience, design, and ecosystem integration. But if software quality continues to decline, this value proposition becomes increasingly difficult to defend.

Just today I was thinking how the best hardware gets crippled by software that has become as shitty as Microsoft's.

By now it has become incredible that “Doesn't Suck” was once motto and slogan for the user experience on Apple devices.

Yeah I did a brief scan and a brief search for opinions on their practices when I saw the comment I initially replied to and didn’t find anything concerning. Doesn’t mean there isn’t anything, but it either wasn’t serious enough to be surfaced, or nobody more knowledgeable than me has looked.
Doom Train
Simple game that is meant to facilitate AI X-risk debate. Knowing where you "get off the doom train" will hopefully aid in communicating why you aren't worried about X-risk, and illuminate the assumptions made by those who are.
Agriphotovoltaics is largely a solution for a non-existing problem.

It is always brought forward as an argument when the perceived landuse issue of solar is brought forward. But if you do any serious analysis, the landuse impact of even utility scale solar is so neglegible that it's not an issue to worry about.

If you want to talk about landuse impacts of renewable energy, there's really only one issue to focus on: bioenergy crops. It can be as bad as 30 times less space efficient than generating the same energy with solar photovoltaics.

Talk about using the same space to make food and bioenergy. Use agricultural land for food, and utilize the residuals as good as possible. Stop making biofuels out of food. And treat the space needed for utility-scale solar as what it is: tiny.

(P.S.: If people can make agriphotovoltaics work, I have no issue with that. Great. Even tiny impacts should be reduced if possible. But I have an issue with the way this is discussed, because it makes up a problem with photovoltaics that largely doesn't exist.)
What? iOS without new features? When? Every release since 1.0 had a big splashy feature
Functions in CSS?
> I would pay a premium for a system that never gets any new features except for bug & security patches.

[thousands of Enterprise Sales employees suddenly start listening]

Sorry, it's Apple software. Nevermind!
You’re spot-on with the “magic” of Rails. While it can be very powerful and feature-rich, it can feel like a black box at times and stack traces aren’t always accurate or helpful. To be fair, this happens with a lot of library-heavy frameworks though, Spring Boot being a prime example of this.
Thanks for checking it out! And yeah, I’m not expecting it to gain much traction, just having fun with it.
Perfection-seeking as an activity is fine (and to be lauded!), but perfection-seeking as an identity needs to be excised. Endless effort spent to realize excellence in this world is a beautiful thing, but it truly is a curse to become so self-critical, so self-loathing that if you haven't achieved it yet means (to you) that you are a failure. You've only ever failed when you quit trying, otherwise you're simply on the journey of discovery, trial, tribulation and hopefully, eventually, triumph. And don't forget, success is inextricably linked to a moment in time; it will fade, and you will remain, so hopefully a person has been kind enough to and accepting enough of themselves that when the accolades become meaningless, the person left behind is whole, happy and content.

There's always another challenge on the horizon, always more perfection to be sought.
"Drone" gets used to cover a lot of things; full aircraft sized Reaper/Predator drones down to toy-sized quadcopters. It's the latter which Ukraine has been developing, including a unique solution to ECM: the fiber-optic drone.

Small drones do not assume the role of tanks. Drones assume the role of WW1 aircraft: artillery spotters and very light bombing capability. They have this role there because both sides have SAM superiority over the other's airforce.

Drones solve the problem that combat aircraft are too expensive and too easy to shoot down.
It's literally just a DAG.
Girls have outperformed boys up through high school since before they were keeping track of statistics like that. It's a cliché, even. This is not a new or surprising effect.

And I repeat my point: there are a lot of men here on HN who seem unprepared to accept a world where women's performance in entry level career work is actually higher than men's, even though that would seem like an obviously extrapolation from well-understood data.
Yeah, just fire them outright. Very little of this article reads like an honest or grounded attempt at reconciliation-or-fire conversations.
Well that and then the deeper you drill, the more you will need to pump. There are significant complications. On paper I agree - pragmatically it still seems far away when we have great options already available: I mean alternatively we could use the power of the Sun (technology we have already developed). We could also use uranium and plutonium to power long lived electricity. Convert that electricity to heat via heat pumps (already available tech).

All for improving drilling tech -- maybe let O&G bare most of the cost of research though if we need to compete for research dollars.

This is brilliant enough to be included in schtiffs books/printouts. I knew the R4400 was a big leap in FP, but had never heard of the R4200. I would have liked to see code compile on it.

Was there a difference in node size?

Like the M603e that became the G3, it would have been great to see 4 of these R4200s as a quad processor server.

As speed is paramount, there are many more things we will not learn about until the architecture is vintage.

It's sad that speculative execution became a vulnerability.
for a long time, iDevices could not copy&paste. locking to one of those versions with no new features would be horrendous. not all new features are bad or trivial.

Edit: pedant patrol
