> Some Supreme Courts only decide on constitutional issues

These are usually referred to as constitutional courts. Because the Constitution vests "the judicial Power of the United States" in "one supreme Court," ours is also the court of final appeal.
Just to be clear: I wasn't referring to children in my rant. Children can be loud (and obnoxious), but that's usually fine. Having an adult around who can channel their energy away from the neighbours is all that's needed there.
I agree with your first part but I think you are vastly underestimating how much writing code is a part of programming. I also in these discussions people, ironically, really overestimate how much “untangling requirements” is part of the day to day for the majority of programmers. There is obviously some of that but unless you are just talking about consultants that interact directly with customers, a lot of this is done at the product or project management. You’d be surprised how much programming is in programming.
I have also documented how to vectorize IIR filters (EQ) in this article as well https://shafq.at/vectorizing-iir-filters.html
Thank you for that solid advice
It was not reasonably foreseeable. The Bell system had been a government-blessed monopoly since its inception. Pigs would fly before scammers were allowed to connect to raw SS7.
I once moved a C++ project to C, and compile times went from 15 minutes to 5 seconds. It was a huge productivity boost. LLVM being slow to compile is also one of the reasons the Zig folk are looking to make it an optional dependency.
Sorry, friend. I see OpenUI5, I downvote. It seems I'm not the only one.

Only the uninitiated could confuse it with literally anything else.

Amazing, one that was finally not flagged 8-/

I've wanted to comment that I can totally understand tesla owners feeling buyers remorse at this point, but any assault on teslas, or their owners, is stupid.

A person driving a tesla is not elon 8-/ So in spite of anyone's anger at elon, directing that anger at any tesla owner is about as close to actually tilting at windmills as one can get.

If someone wants to go egg the security perimeter around one of elon's compounds, knock yourself out. That won't accomplish anything either, but at least it will be directed at the correct recipient.

I would never own a tesla personally, simply because of the massive surveillance. But I think almost everyone who bought one, did it for the purpose of electrifying their transportation. Which is a good thing. Noone should be taking their elon angst out on tesla owners.

On the upside of tesla over other EVs, they are the only maker that implemented a significant charging network, and that network is very well integrated into the navigation feature of the car. Driving a tesla around and across California is totally feasible because of that integration.

On the specific subject of having one's tesla stolen, I can see the motive, but again I don't think it would solve any problems.
I am on the complete opposite side here. I detest language specific package managers for many reasons.

Does anyone know what the api/interface between these models and the actual arms looks like? Like: how would I make use of one of these models?
I got within 15 years and 200 km but got 7,275 / 10,000. If the expectation is to absolutely nail it, I can hardly imagine who is it for.
I love the concept! A really compelling game , especially for history nerds like me. Two thoughts:

1. The AI imagery is often misaligned with the actual answer, with some anachronistic elements.

2. The scoring seems harsh. I got a couple of answers within 50km and/or 10 years in the time scale but was still severely penalized.

Good luck with this, I will definitely watch your progress and pass it along

They should copy the Synology Diskstation - "iCloud - your personal cloud"

Not only does it allow you to backup all your files, but it has all sorts of apps that you can install. You can have your own Dropbox, Google Drive, run your own webserver, docker containers etc

I bought one this week and it is very cool. I realise Apple have their own "backup to the cloud" etc, but if they had some guts they could sell soo many of these things and create a whole new app marketplace.

Given the amount of content people create these days we have a big need for storage, and storage in the cloud is too slow - it really doesn't cut it.

If they did something like this, they'd sell a whole heap of hardware, PLUS app store revenue, PLUS more subscriptions to their cloud as an additional backup. It'd probably be relatively easy for them to do as well.
Usually there will be only a single engineer or maybe two on staff for the night shift. But paying regular operating staff an additional 50% night shift bonus to keep the factory running is very often worth the price.
Car alarms are similar. Maybe (but doubtfully) they'll prevent your car from being stolen/trashed/emptied. But at the cost of waking up an entire neighbourhood every time a bird shits on it a little too forcefully (or whatever it is that randomly sets off car alarms in the middle of the night). That's not a tradeoff that works for me.

Your house is on fire? Fine, wake up the whole neighbourhood. You're in physical danger? Sure, emergency services can be as noisy as they need to be. Some of your stuff is in danger of being stolen? Meh, I don't want to get out of bed for that.
At the beginning of my career, I merely found it funny.

Now I find it relatable.

This is awesome. I had the same feeling I had when I first played GeoGuessr. It's one of the first times I've seen what is obviously AI-generated video used in a super compelling way. I want to keep playing.

A few super nitpicky comments:

- I dropped my pin for "Seward's Folly" on Alaska. The videos were clear enough that I knew that's what it was, which made me excited. But then it said it happened in Washington, DC.

- It might be sample bias, but I've only gotten events after year 0 (and technically, it went from 1 BCE/BC to 1 CE/AD.

I'd love to play with this my seven year old, but some of the images are too violent. A "PG mode" would be awesome.

The tolerance for the US mass spying efforts remains weird. It undermines the credibility of many US politicians around Trump - yes the US public appears to be set to vote in Hitler-equivalents for the forseeable future. No, dismantling the insane spying apparatus is not a major agenda point.

Marry those two ideas together.
Definitely a feature to me.

I don't have to be worried that a 3rd party library without dependency begins to have 30 transitive dependencies which now can conflict with other diamond dependencies.

I need my dependency tree to be small to avoid every single factor of friction.

Language specific package manager is exactly what encourage the exponential explosion of packages leading to dependency hell (and lead to major security concerns).

Niri is RAM efficient. I run Niri in an 8GB VM on Intel Macbook, and on a $99 8GB mini PC. Total RAM usage on boot is less than 400MB with waybar, polkit, ssh-agent, mako ... That's in the ultra lightweight WM category. Compare that to Gnome+paperwm (1.6GB)

There are features Niri sorely needs: 1) 2D overview (zoom in/out), 2) enhanced meta for windows (to create window indicator [1] and window picker)
> The trilogy raises an Elizabethan question: After college – what comes next? …universities were producing more scholars than there were opportunities for them. …Their great education tended to discourage them from taking up the humble trades of their fathers. The Parnassus plays may not provide a solution, but they at least illustrated the fears of such ambitious young scholastic dreamers.

So — elite overproduction is not a new problem, you say?
EDIT.COM and MS-DOS installers too had blue background. In fact, blue (CGA colour 1) was a very popular background colour for many tools. For example, white on blue was a popular colour theme for Turbo Pascal, Turbo C, etc. Borland dBase had a mixture of blue and cyan background colours on various screens. With the limited number of colours available back then, blue was one of the few background colours that was easy on the eyes.

Also, you are right indeed. I remember Windows 3.1, 95, 98, etc. used blue as the screen colour for icons depicting computers. For icons that had two computers (e.g. "Network Neighborhood"), one computer had blue screen and the other one had cyan.
Show HN: TypeQueue – A Generic SQS Wrapper for Go
I've been working in Go for a while, and every time I needed to interact with AWS SQS, I found the experience straight up frustrating. There just wasn’t a good wrapper available that made sending and receiving messages, as well as testing that code, straightforward. So a few months ago I (slowly lol) started TypeQueue and pushed it to GitHub a few weeks back: https://github.com/kvizdos/typequeue.

TypeQueue is a generic (i think thats the right term..) wrapper for SQS that allows you to dispatch and consume messages in a type-safe way. It was built from the ground up with testing in mind. Unit testing SQS dependent code becomes super simple without needing to hit AWS, thanks to the mock implementations included. The package itself is fully unit tested AND I finally got to play with TestContainers (wow, they are really awesome), so it is also "integration" tested :D

One of my favorite parts is the new Batch Dispatcher. I really challenged myself to get it right: it’s designed to be safe for concurrent systems while keeping it intentionally limited. That was a bigger challenge than I thought heh. It's not meant to run in the background continuously: instead, it's built for when you KNOW you'll have a ton of messages to send at once (think like scheduled tasks dispatching messages). Once I finally got the concurrency management just right, I was super happy with the result (if any Go-pro's wanna take a look and provide feedback, definitely do! I'm not quite sure I understood sync pools right haha).

One other thing this fixes: lambda consumers. For whatever reason, lambda is (I think, please correct me!) the ONLY place where you need to “reject” messages instead of “acknowledge” (delete) messages. Just use the Consumer/LamdaConsumer, return an error, and the package will figure out what to do :)

I have future plans of possibly supporting different types of queues (e.g. RabbitMQ) and a "continuously batched" dispatcher, but not right now. PRs always welcome of course.

I'm really excited for Go folks to give it a shot and would love to hear any feedback you might have.

Even if you aren't a Go person.. if you haven't used TestContainers, check out the repo (maybe give it a star if you are feeling generous) and look into the test container stuff (test files w/ _integration in them). It's so cool what they can do! Question for the audience: call this “generic” or “type safe”? :)

thanks for your time
The DHT exists, all you need is an infohash and you get grab the metadata from peers/uploader.

libtorrent supports something called 'SSL' torrents that require both peers to be signed by the same root.

All the pieces are there to build on top of.
I feel like the current generation will be remembered in the history as "the generation of sad fucks". It's incredibly difficult to escape the overwhelming sense of doom, but sometimes I have moments when I watch the sunset and think "this is cool", or listen to the music and feel comfy.

That's another point, during college some tests were and multiple choice questions. They were manually graded and for each answer you needed to prove how did you get the answer. I don't remember any kind of automated grading system. Everything was done by hand, whether by the teacher or TA's
Why is cooperation unlikely? AFAIK it’s not too hard to make a compiler support a function attribute that says “do not optimize this function at all”; I assume in most compilers the translation and optimization phases are mostly separate, and inter-procedural optimizations can treat them as externally-linked (untouchable). I’m less familiar with assembly. but couldn’t processors expose instructions to enable or disable their JIT?

I imagine it’s not easy* easy, because it requires every layer to cooperate, but if there’s demand I think it would be done.

IPv6 is in a similar situation where it requires widespread adoption, but I also suspect most people have issues with it and there isn’t much demand because NATs and whatever support for cellular networks has made it unnecessary.
Seeing the same on Chrome actually.
I'm using exclusively uv for personal projects - and small prototypes at work - and I can't recommend it enough.

So there is a similar thing with a photo from (recent) history - and that has the edge of perfect accuracy - a picture of 1920s Alabama is a real representation.

I had real trouble with the battle of towton just now - the armour was “off” and someone was wondering around with a really cool white rose icon on their breastplate - and I could not work out if it was trying to be accurate or imaginative (accurate woukd look more like these things https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armorial_of_the_House_of_Pla...)

I mean the fact that there were moving videos of Dutch astronomers or Ethiopian rulers is god damn amazing - it looks luscious

But it also looks … cut-scene. It’s brilliant. But it’s also a work of imagination (LLM imagings).

So it’s quite hard to do the game itself - but it’s amazing to drop people into the context and excite a historical interest.
As I vaguely understand it, and I’m not an expert at all here - American 220V is two 110V phases tapped off the feed and glued together at 180 degree offsets; European 240V is one phase tapped directly off the mains feed. So it’s definitely constructed differently! Their battery could tap into the electric range 220V/50A circuit and then redistributing that somehow - or it could tap into the 110V 15A circuit and synthesize 220V/xxA itself. I’m not sure what makes the most sense, or how the NEMA outlet legalities work out! But it’s definitely a lot of interesting research.

This sort of mentality is all over the place. I think the "Death of God" is what is causing people to follow political idols so religiously. I think it is fair to say that there are cult-like followings of certain leaders.

What's with the toggle grid at the bottom of the article? Is it just a fidget toy?
Hm, good question. It depends on what you mean. If you're asking about restricting which theorems we try to prove, then we definitely are cutting ourselves off from vast swathes of math space, and we're doing it on purpose! The article we're responding to talks about mathematicians developing "taste" and "intuition", and this is what I think the author meant --- different people have different tastes, of course, but most conceivable true mathematical statements are ones that everyone would agree are completely uninteresting; they're things like "if you construct these 55 totally unmotivated mathematical objects that no one has ever cared about according to these 18 random made-up rules, then none of the following 301 arrangements are possible."

If you're talking about questions that are well-motivated but whose answers are ugly and incomprehensible, then a milder version of this actually happens fairly often --- some major conjecture gets solved by a proof that everyone agrees is right but which also doesn't shed much light on why the thing is true. In this situation, I think it's fair to describe the usual reaction as, like, I'm definitely happy to have the confirmation that the thing is true, but I would much rather have a nicer argument. Whoever proved the thing in the ugly way definitely earns themselves lots of math points, but if someone else comes along later and proves it in a clearer way then they've done something worth celebrating too.

Does that answer your question?
This looks lovely, it's so readable!
It's hard to believe the tiny microprocessors can be fast and flexible enough to effectively emulate or replace application-specific chips on something modern - is this some hack unlikely to be seen outside the PocketBeagle or do you think this will become more common elsewhere?
I don't see any way that the use if expected and found can be ambiguous for a type conflict.

If this is accurate, it sounds like conviction without due process based on fact-free libel.
> A CxO doesn’t want to talk to a sales engineer who is not technical. They want to speak to someone on their level

Well, yes. That's why you invent a CxO position (Chief Sales Officer?) or maybe "VP of Engineering" for it.

Or you can do the reverse, "CTO" can be a de-facto CSO, and you can have a separate CxO position for the technical stuff.

> I’m not in sales. I am the first deep technical person that a customer talks to (consulting).

This means that you're in sales :)

I think the distinction here matters. CTO is a more inwards-facing position, they are responsible for formulating and executing the technical plans and maintaining the quality of the product.

In other words:

CEO - "we need to get the city of San Francisco as our customer"

CSO - "San Francisco needs a bridge"

CTO - "we can build a cable-stayed bridge across the Golden Gate"

Tech Lead - "we can use 1 meter cross-section cable stays to construct a cable-stayed bridge across the Golden Gate"

In reality, especially in startups, there's always going to be some level of responsibility sharing.
The cost of robotics is coming down, check out Unitree. A couple of robot arms would cost about the same as a minimum wageworker for 1 year right now. But of course they can go virtually 24/7 so likely 1/3rd the cost
I never understood why shipping decided to deal with ammonia nonsense. It's dead-on-arrival, due to the complexity and danger of it.

We already have a workable solution: liquid methane. It can be synthesized from captured CO2 about as cheaply as ammonia, and we can just use the fossil methane as a bridge for now. More importantly, there are whole fleets of methane-powered ships now.

Methane has a higher global warming potential, but only if it leaks. And this can be minimized, especially once fossil fuel mining is phased out.

>>The disagreement with the board was supposedly related more to elements of the board trying to parts up and sell off bits of Intel.

If true this would be very interesting. The most recent rumors were TSMC was trying to grab a part of Intel and have Nvidia/Broadcom/AMD take over the rest. Bringing in a CEO that literally left the board because he was against carving up Intel would be quite the signal from the board.
