I'd say that it takes intelligence to encode knowledge, and the more knowledge you have, the more intelligently you can encode further knowledge, in a virtuous cycle. But once you have a data set of knowledge, there's nothing to emerge, there are no side effects. It just sits there doing nothing. The intelligence is in the algorithms that access that encoded knowledge to produce something else.
A much better analogy is the fact that bicycles are hugely popular at all. Douglas Englebart used to bring this up in his talks. If usability is the most important thing then we would all be riding tricycles. Most of us started out on trikes but the benefits of a bicycle compared to a trike are great enough that it is worth the one-time but significant investment in learning to ride it.

That said, I have little desire to ride a bicycle now that I have been riding a velomobile. ;-)

keyboard upward or downward angulation depends on your wrist support, arm position/chair height... what's optimal and generic to suggest because how our upper extremity muscles are, (at least for mouse but i think it can work for keyboards too) [0] is having it sides angled from 20° up to 30°, subjective exprience also plays a role

you can easily find MX switches that have equal or +- 0.5mm travel lenght as low-profiles ones... which considering how thin PCB (and even handwired) flat keyboards are, i can't see the point unless you are supporting your arms in the same table your keyboard is! i rather have my arms floating so i can use shoulder and elbow movement for distant keys other than wrist movements but who cares :P

Oh, I have practically the same alias.

You might be surprised at this if you use Git in append only mode, making "fix 1", "fix 2", ... commits on a branch when you find a problem in a previous commit

Another workflow is to keep each commit self-contained, rebase the series when you make changes, and send the v2, v3, ... of your pull request with push --force

Of course, if you do this on a shared branch that other people also want to commit on, you may want to pick a desk close to the exit, and far away from any windows

> the taiwanese people are so poor that they would all betray their country for 100k?

You'd be surprised. I'm not saying that all of them (or even most of them) will accept the payment, but there have been multiple cases of espionage committed by Taiwanese military personnel for extremely trifling amounts of monetary reward from the Chinese. Here's just one example: https://www.worldjournal.com/wj/story/121222/8572208

Excerpt:

"檢警調查，李慧馨陳姓小弟在台北市中山區放款接觸軍人，2023年6月李女以新北市蘆洲區瑞磘宮主身分及宗教交流名義至澳門，再到大陸接觸國安情資人員，返台以金錢引誘缺錢軍人。

李女等人要求軍人交出軍人身分證審核後，穿制服拿五星旗拍攝宣告投降影片，呼口號「中國人不打中國人，我反對戰爭」，用Telegram傳送交付影片「閱後即焚」，偷公務文書，交付航線圖、演習時間等多項軍機，收賄依資料機密程度計價，吸收同袍可提高報酬。

張、林、劉、吳、彭、李姚姓及兩名陳姓現、退役軍人涉案，涵蓋陸軍、海軍、憲兵軍官、士官、士兵，最高階為中尉，僅劉獲利15萬元台幣(約4500美元)，其他人尚未拿到犯罪所得。"

Translation:

"According to the investigation by the police and prosecutors, Li Huixin's younger associate, surnamed Chen, was involved in lending money to military personnel in the Zhongshan District of Taipei City. In June 2023, Li traveled to Macau under the pretense of religious exchange and as the head of Ruixian Temple in Luzhou District, New Taipei City. From there, she went to mainland China and made contact with national security intelligence personnel. Upon returning to Taiwan, she used money to lure financially struggling military personnel.

Li and her associates required military personnel to submit their military identification cards for verification. Afterward, they were asked to wear uniforms and film surrender videos while holding the Chinese five-star flag, chanting slogans such as "Chinese people do not fight Chinese people, I oppose war." These videos were then transmitted via Telegram with a self-destruct feature. The group also stole official documents and provided information such as flight paths and military exercise schedules. Bribes were paid based on the confidentiality level of the data, and recruiting fellow soldiers could increase rewards.

The case involves active and retired military personnel with the surnames Zhang, Lin, Liu, Wu, Peng, Li, Yao, and two individuals surnamed Chen. The suspects come from various military branches, including the Army, Navy, and Military Police, spanning officers, non-commissioned officers, and enlisted soldiers. The highest-ranking officer involved was a lieutenant. Among them, only Liu received illicit gains amounting to NT$150,000 (approximately USD 4,500), while the others had not yet received any criminal proceeds."

Thanks, yeah we're really thankful to StackBlitz for open sourcing the early version of Bolt.new and to the Bolt.diy community for continuing to develop it.

We don't have a commercial offering yet and are planning to migrate off WebContainers for the upcoming full stack features -- WebContainers show their limits pretty quickly in a full stack context (e.g. CORS issues) and we need observability into the server side of the app for full stack debugging.

Regardless, our interests here are only lightly commercial. We're not really developing Nut to drive revenue but to help us develop the debugging API and push forward the SOTA for AI development as effectively as we can. That API is what we want to sell.

Yes, it's absolutely great to have a "low floor" -- common use cases should be easy to do, without needing to learn a ton up front. But, hiding the structure is not the only way to achieve that!

For example: a microwave could have presets like "we recommend cooking a potato with this power for this time. If it's undercooked, try higher power, but avoid max power because XYZ."

The simple use cases should guide the user while building up a coherent mental model. If there are fancier sensors being used, those could be explained and exposed to the user directly.

Otherwise you end up with no path to further learning. If I have no idea how potato mode works, then I don't know when it applies or doesn't apply, I don't know how to adjust when it doesn't work well, and I don't know how it relates to the other modes at all.

One problem for sure is that when you're close to the ground you have to be careful about buildings, cell towers, etc. Terrain is one thing, but when you're a few hundred feet AGL, you could quickly be in the way of tall structures if a TCAS alert goes off.

That’s why I have one year of expenses in a liquid savings account in addition to retirement savings. So I can have the runway to get back into coding if necessary.

Are you proposing that they do coding on the side after they get off of work? I have a strict policy of “no side work” and I have since graduating from college in 1996. When I get off work, I don’t think about computers again until I go back to work the next day.

I’m not a manager. But I am now a “staff software architect” working full time at a third party cloud consulting company after pivoting from software development and doing a previous stint working at AWS in the consulting department (full time direct hire - AWS Professional Services).

My specialty is supposedly developing applications using AWS services. But as I moved up I find myself doing no coding.

My job is half working with sales and being the first technical contact for a customer and writing long and detailed requirement documentation and getting the customer to sign the contract for us to do the work. The other half is as a tech lead coordinating between the customer, project manager, sales, and the subject matter experts on our side who lead/implement the various “work streams” (development, data, cloud architecture, etc).

First issue, when I was looking for a remote job last year and the year before as a developer as a plan B job, every opening had hundreds of applications and I heard crickets. This has never happened to me and I looked for software development jobs in 1999, 2008, 2012, 2014, 2016 and 2018. The job at AWS fell into my lap in 2020.

It’s a shit show out there right now for software development jobs especially remotely. Did I mention I was looking for regular old enterprise Dev jobs?

On the other hand for differentiated strategic cloud consulting jobs, I had no problem getting offers quickly.

Do you know of any software systems that do 'double key lockout' like this? I've wanted one for a long time but I am having a failure of imagination on how to implement it.

Or I should say, I see the trap in the two or three most obvious variants which makes them even less effective because you create a Confused Deputy situation with the person you expect to sign off.

Example: If I file a PR to change a production flag, and I tell you what (I think) I just did, you're likely to approve my change because I've primed you to see what I wanted you to see, and you miss the same bug I missed. You're going to trust my judgement when the whole point of not allowing me to just push without a second pair of eyes is that you cannot trust my judgement 100.00% of the time. If I'm 99.9% trustworthy you're likely to stop looking at my ideas expecting to see a problem.

Russia has energy independence and food security. China has neither. USA could achieve a lot just by blockading China, something China is in no position to challenge since most of their navy is a brown water navy.

Yeah, they can probably fight fairly well for a year or two with their reserves (depending on how much of the reserves are actually there.. corruption is an issue). But after that they risk catastrophic destabilisation within China. People don’t realise that Chinas main ongoing challenge is to keep mainland China itself stable. They spend much more on internal security than on external security. Chinas sabre rattling with Taiwan can be considered part of trying to maintain internal stability. It helps keep people focused on external enemies.

Taiwan is also an order of magnitude more difficult to invade. The yearly window for invasion is fairly small. It’s easy to see it coming. There’s only a couple of beaches suitable to land an army on, and it will be blanketed with mines within an hour of seeing the first invasion ships crossing the strait.

Ukraine has also demonstrated that a smaller nation can take out the entire navy of a bigger one with sea drones. Taiwan is now building their own drones.

I think drones will favour the defender, even if China could make more of them. Especially when laser weapons can cheaply take out drone swarms trying to drop bombs on the defenders. The Taiwan strait will be impassable for any large ship, and you need to cross with a large ship and get boots on the ground to successfully invade.

Ask HN: Deep Research" tool for job seekers?
I own a couple job boards and have access to a huge dataset of job listings, salary ranges, and hiring trends. Instead of making job seekers scroll through endless postings and tweak filters manually, I’m thinking about building a deep research tool for job search—kind of like how ChatGPT’s Deep Research and Perplexity’s Pro Search dig deep to provide structured, thoughtful answers instead of just dumping links.

The tool would be interactive and hyper-personalized. Users would upload their resume and answer a few targeted questions (or the AI could ask clarifying questions as needed). Then, instead of returning a basic job list, it would generate a multi-page report that includes:

Curated job matches, ranked and explained (not just “you qualify,” but why you do, or where you fall short).
- Market insights, such as salary ranges, hiring trends, and which companies/industries are actively recruiting.
- Skills gap analysis, highlighting missing qualifications and suggestions for upskilling.
- Interactive elements, allowing users to tweak preferences, mark interesting jobs, and even refine the search dynamically.

It wouldn’t be instant—probably 10-20 minutes to generate, since it’s actually processing and analyzing rather than just running a keyword search. Users would get notified when it’s ready.

Does this sound like something that would be useful? Would you trust an AI to “do the research” for you instead of manually searching job boards? Any potential pitfalls I should consider?

Let's find out if you're a bigot or not. I'll throw up Webster's definition for reference.

Bigot – a person who is obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices.

The capacity for pregnancy is not confined to individuals with a female (46,XX) chromosomal pattern. The real world is complicated, and intersex people can be born with a (46,XY) karyotype or mixed (46,XX) and (46,XY) karyotypes as a result of chimerism. People with Swyer syndrome (46,XY) develop female reproductive anatomy (a uterus and fallopian tubes) but do not produce eggs. However, pregnancy can be achieved with donor eggs and assisted reproductive technology.

So here's the question: Are you devoted to your first opinion, or are you capable of acknowledging that the medical community may have had legitimate reasons, grounded in actual biology, to choose a more inclusive word?

All these suggestions seem comically unsound.

Eastern Europe contains many NATO countries, and many European countries feel an increased rather than decreased need for nuclear weapons. Compensation for losses due to sanctions would also effectively legitimize the war, as if though Russia were in the right.

Lifting sanctions could maybe be done, if Russia actually left Ukraine entirely, including Crimea.

I think what's really interesting at the moment, at least to me as a European, is a proper war where we simply go in and pound the Russian positions in Ukraine with bombers, strike all sorts of factories, plants, gas conduits, electrical infrastructure etc., in Russia so as to ensure a reasonable outcome.

This is a very large and difficult to defend country, relative to its population. The Russians are incredibly vulnerable and increasing the violence level to something more appropriate is the going to be the only alternative.

We're planning to borrow money to get weapons. This will be interesting, considering today's interest rates. I think it might be we who must be given something that we can agree is some kind of 'win', rather than the Russians, if the world is to be orderly.
