I'm a Tech Lead at a leading automotive events company. We had internal issues keeping colleagues and clients in the loop with changes happening on our booking platform.

Either clients / sales people wouldn't know about new features that were added because they'd miss an email, we all know how easy it is to do that OR we'd get questions surrounding when certain amendments were made to the platform and finding through changelog emails can't be a nightmare.

So we needed a solution which solves these core problems, that's where Rocketlogs comes into play.

The platform allows you to keep a public changelog where you can announce product updates, new features, bug fixes and more.

It helps our team with the following -

- Provides you with a simple but powerful changelog page. See RocketLogs changelog here.

- Allows you to manage multiple changelogs through one simple to use platform.

- Schedule and Publish releases when it suits your timeline.

- Notify changelog followers by email when releases have been scheduled and published.

- Keep track of unreleased items and easily transfer them for release.

- Invite your team members to help contribute to changelogs.

My question to you would be, is this something you would consider using and/or what features do you think are missing?
Why would you be worried? I've got The Right Stuff.
Nice article, thought doesn't it get this wrong...

> By comparison, people in a system start from a broad situation and narrow definitions down and add constraints to make problem-solving tractable.

It's been awhile but back when I was studying this most people were specific-to-general thinkers, i.e. the opposite of this. That people start with specific cases/examples and generalize as they learn more of them, narrow-to-broad. Has the research on this changed?
I can't comment on their impartiality, but a policy research organisation ran a detailed war gaming simulation of an amphibious invasion by China 24 times in 2023.

> In most scenarios, the United States/Taiwan/Japan defeated a conventional amphibious invasion by China and maintained an autonomous Taiwan. However, this defense came at high cost. The United States and its allies lost dozens of ships, hundreds of aircraft, and tens of thousands of servicemembers. Taiwan saw its economy devastated. Further, the high losses damaged the U.S. global position for many years. China also lost heavily, and failure to occupy Taiwan might destabilize Chinese Communist Party rule.

We have a dataset that we use internally to evaluate our search quality. It's more representative of our use case since it contains Slack messages, call transcripts, very technical design docs, company policies which is pretty different from what embedding models are typically trained on.

We checked the recall at 4K tokens (which was a pretty typical token limit of the previous generation of LLMs) and we were at over 94% recall for our 10K document set. We also added a lot of noise to it (Slack messages from public Slack workspaces) to get hundreds of thousands of documents but recall remained at over 90%.
Notationally I wish the diaeresis was a single dot. It bugs me that we’re using two dots to separate two syllables, yet both dots are over the second syllable. Plus a single dot would avoid ambiguity with the umlaut (though I suppose there are very few words with both features).
> There is a good reason why most people consider consciousness arising from the laws of physics as we currently understand them to be totally untenable.

It is only "totally untenable" if you have a preconceived notion that humans are somehow special and not subject to the laws of physics. In other words, if you really want non-material souls to exist.

And yes, I do honestly believe that this endless field of rocks would "experience the world" if someone were to move them around in the right way. Although that is not entirely correct - whatever it is that is moving them in this way should also be considered a part of the overall system, and it is that system that would experience consciousness.
>No. Countries with their own free choice asked to be part of NATO. The US did not push this on them.

I've seen this stated frequently on HN. Here's a quote from President Clinton in February 1999[1]:That is why I have pushed hard for NATO's enlargement and why we must keep NATO's doors open to new democratic members...

NATO would add 12 nations in the decade after those remarks, with the first 3 formally joining 2 weeks later.

Also look at Clinton's remarks from October 1999[2]:NATO must also take in new members, including those from among its former adversaries. It must reach out to all the new democracies in Central Europe, the Baltics and the New Independent States of the former Soviet Union. At the first NATO summit I attended in January of 1994, I proposed that NATO should enlarge steadily, deliberately, openly.

>Russia is both to blame for the expansion of NATO and Russia's subsequent invasions of Georgia and Ukraine.

I used to have a link to a really good interview with a former US ambassador or special advisor to Sakashvilli. In it, he basically says that Sakashvilli is a risk-taker and gambler much like Putin, and in 2008 he gambled and lost. He basically laid the blame for what happened at the Georgian President's feet. Which is also the conclusion of the EU-backed investigation.[3]

> or worked on hard problems because of comments and Git blame.

Oh lord we'd better hope they have absolutely IMPECCABLE git fu if they are going to be using this metric. Unfortunately here on HN I've seen people essentially brag that they only know just enough git to get by and "who cares if I don't know all the other commands deeply." In any event, this scenario REQUIRES that a manager know exactly how to determine who originally introduced something, or, exactly where it was significantly improved if they are going to be reading comments and blaming to see "who performs."

The very fact a manager might be doing this has got me a little worked up, mainly as I know great managers who don't do this and who are scared of something as simple as the reflog.
Or just tell them all to regularly communicate/listen to their team? Sounds way more efficient.

WebDAV itself dates from 1999, well into the Windows 95 era. The Novell system pre dates it by a lot.
Here's the official website with some explanation:

Northumberlandia is a unique piece of public art set in a 19-hectare community park providing free public access, with four miles of footpaths on and around the landform, along with a café and visitor centre. ...
The centrepiece of this 19-hectare park is ‘The Lady of the North’, a stunning human landform sculpture of a reclining lady. Made of 1.5 million tonnes of rock, clay and soil, she is 100 feet high and a quarter of a mile long.

You need to clearly define what constitutes "real" before we can meaningfully talk about the distinction between "real" atoms and simulated ones.

As far as physics go, it's all just numbers in the end. Indeed, the more we keep digging into the nature of reality, the more information theory keeps popping up - see e.g. the holographic principle.

I appreciate your response. Collective action is tough. I don’t have any answers but I’m struggling nonetheless. My only hope is I can raise my little kiddos to understand the problem and help create the solution. The world has generally progressed in the right direction so I hope it can continue that way.
Yup, hopefully with Onyx, the folks who have these questions can just fire off a query with agent mode turned on and the LLM will research the relevant tree of knowledge and come back with an answer in the fraction of the time it would take for people to do it with all of the handoffs in between.

> We've accelerated past our capabilities and need to slow down.

This is a super interesting meditation. As much work as there is to be done now, the demand for air traffic is growing and power laws are concentrating it into tight airspace bubbles. It would behoove us to figure out how to make airspace more dense without compromising safety. There's lots of good economic incentive for this.
Starlink isn't helping helping Ukraine out of the goodness of Elon's heart; he's being paid millions of dollars to provide a service. It's just another business deal for him that he can spin into good publicity as well. His public comments have made it very clear that he doesn't care about the Ukrainian people. Given that he's co-leading an administration that is completely aligning itself with Putin I don't expect that to continue for much longer. As soon as the payments stop, and possibly even sooner, that service will be gone.
> This can lead to awkward conversations of the type where the manager suggests "let's do/use X" where X was the best practice 5+ years ago and then it has to be diplomatically explained to him/her that's no longer the best practice

I wish managers would understand that it's not their job to do that any more - I've had a few technical managers in my time and the best one was totally hands off, except when he recognised a scenario that had caused him grief in the past (e.g. boolean fields in a database or anything completely over-engineered). The other ones have just rapidly descended into "I'm the manager therefore my opinion is final" (including one who had never worked with Java, PHP, MySQL, serverless or AWS but didn't let it stop him from having strongly held technical opinions).
In the sense that you can measure it as a whole, such as what governments do with CPI reports. For example, if prices go up for a widget A, then maybe consumers switch to widget B. Prices for something went up, but inflation depends on the whole of things people actually buy.

I'm still trying to decide of Fowler porting Refactoring to Javascript from Java is a good thing or a bad thing, but I'd kind of like to see someone port SICP to Python or maybe Elixir and see how it goes.
I wanted to comment on that as well. It dawned on me near the end of the article that all lines end exactly at a word boundary. You can tell there's some subtle kerning going on, as different lines don't line up, even though it's a monospaced font, but it's very subtle and well done.

Most block ciphers iterate the same round function, but this regularity is destroyed by using distinct round keys in each round.

The only vulnerabilities of the iterated construction appear when a weak method is used for generating the round keys from the cipher key (i.e. when the so-called key schedule is weak), so that there are predictable relationships between the round keys.

There exists an alternative (and equivalent) construction for a block cipher, when the same key is introduced in all rounds, but in this case all the round functions must be different from each other (instead of iterating the same function).
Exactly, this is one of our early beachheads. If we can train better pilots, the airspace system gets safer immediately.

Digging into the actual text of this one since nobody seems to be reporting on the decision with any sort of detail. But it's a really dense one:

> In sum, we hold that §1311(b)(1)(C) does not authorize the EPA to include “end-result” provisions in NPDES permits. Determining what steps a permittee must take to ensure that water quality standards are met is the EPA’s responsibility, and Congress has given it the tools needed to make that determination. If the EPA does what the CWA demands, water quality will not suffer.

TL;DR (As near as I can understand): The EPA changed the permitting requirements for San Francisco's wastewater treatment plants and made it so they were on the hook for any pollution in the surrounding water. SF originally argued that the EPA was unlawfully enforcing this requirement (that the law does not bind them to spillovers that happen when their plants are overloaded). The court rejected this argument but substituted one of their own: The EPA tells the plants how to operate under the NPDES permits - it can't then also make the plants on the hook for the outcomes.

The dissent also has lots of good points: If the water goals were unachievable, the city could have sued on those grounds. It's also probably a better idea to let mandate the outcomes and let plants come up with the best way to achieve them then for the EPA to micromanage every plant. And the EPA has to micromanage every single plant to which they issue permits, they may not be able to issue as many permits!

But it's also worth noting that there was not a single amicus brief submitted supporting the EPA on this one.

I am not gonna argue because I totally see your point. I'll keep my "No" because I think you can still do everything positive you listed without coding. I know it because I had great managers for 10 years, and none of them touched a line of our code.

I vaguely remember a post I read on reddit [1] around the beginning of COVID by a nurse who dealt with an anti-vax patient. It went along the lines of "Big pharma wants to poison me", "Maybe you're being played and Chinese propaganda wants you to believe that to hurt the US". Apparently induced quite a lot of dissonance.

[1] Impossible to find of course. And with all the LARPing going on on there, take this with two grains of salt. Given all the crazy shit going on in the US, I find it totally believable though.
Only if Ukraine will stop fighting, which they wouldn't.

Yes, USA is a major donor. Yes, it will be harder without their support. But without it Ukraine will continue fight. Because if they stop - it means the end of Ukraine. Ukrainians will be new soldiers in Russian army, a fresh cannon fodder against European guns .

It is interesting to see Trump's bulling. What if Ukraine will ignore his threats? What a fool trump is now, with his promise to end the war soon? He has no leverage anymore.

Well, he can sell more weapons to his friend putin to help finish the war.
The Power of Clear Goals
RAG is a tool for the deep research agent to use in finding all of the context it needs. Deep research can call the search many times and reflect on the results of the previous searches and then search for other things as needed. Deep research flows can also generate chain-of-thought type outputs that is not for searching or for directly answering the user.
Should that make it uncool?
> What's more likely if aid stops to ukraine is that US taxpayers stop paying and life goes on.

It kind of doesn't matter how you feel about it though.

The way we resolve our difference of opinion is our system of representatives. You elect representatives to champion your cause, I elect representatives to champion mine, and then they figure out a compromise memorialized as a bill.

So when you say "well I don't want to spend money on this"... so what?? Your opinion was counted. The decision was that money would be sent but not as much as we would like -- a compromise. This is what enables us to live in harmony.

If you want to throw out the compromise, you're also going to throw out the harmony.

> my wife being raped (seriously wtf)

See? You think this possibility so remote, you just scoff at it. If you had asked Ukrainians in 2021 if it was a possibility it would be happening to them today, some would say yes, but most people felt it was not a possibility. Then it happened.

Your position is just as precarious as theirs was before the war, because you are dependent on distant people to protect your liberty. That's what you pay taxes for.

If you feel you're getting a raw deal, then you and your militia can renounce your citizenship, declare your independence and fend for yourself. Forego access to our banking system, our defense, our welfare, our hospitals, our communication infrastructure, our factories, our ports, our air infrastructure. Make your own nation, defend your own land against stronger neighbors (the USA in this case), and actually be independent.

You won't do it though because deep down you know you depend on the rest of us, you're just salty you're asked to contribute anything at all.
I've lost track of what we're disagreeing about.
> killed by the state

Really loaded phrasing there especially given she wasn't even living in government housing but in housing provided by Salvation Army of Canada. Not sure about Canada but in the US most housing assistance is in the form of vouchers so there's not much control the government would have over the exact conditions in any place they might have found for her, she essentially needed a house of her own with no shared public spaces to be able to avoid all smoke or cleaners that might trigger her MCS. That kind of public housing is pretty rare to nonexistant anywhere.

The biggest thing is that there's no coercion going on in these cases it's simply an option she chose to take and without MAID there's a high chance she takes on her own.
Judging by your frustration, the defenses are working perfectly.

Oh well. These comments alone are at least a microblog entry. But if you cross something like that again, and have the time and the inclination, I think a HN submission would be super appreciated.
I didn't say you should be judging performance solely on daily syncs, but you have a myriad of ways of doing that as a manager including simply looking at the big-picture content of PRs, what issues a dev identified and solved, what devs contribute to discussions/technical solutions in slack/meetings, what projects are completed, and how well they turn out etc.

But eh? Doesn't matter how loud you are in a sync, you can very easily go off the actual content of what someone is saying. If someone goes off 5 minutes about how they managed to turn an object into a json string, that doesn't exactly make them look good.
