> Nvidia has a terrible reputation with long term support

In what space do they have this reputation? In drivers, I see they're supporting hardware that's 10 years old right now.
People suck at intellectual tasks but for stuff like locomotion and basic planning we humans are geniuses compared to machines. There isn't a robot today that could get in a car, drive the the grocery store, pick stuff off the shelf, buy it, and bring it back home. That's so easy it's automatic for us.
I meant a single source file. Obviously any compiled language delivers one binary file or so.
Just write vanilla JS, CSS and HTML. Web standards have improved so much over the past 10 years. You don’t need any of the junk people talk about—not even Tailwind. Not even Svelte. Just KISS.
Yes ElevenLabs is orders of magnitude more expensive than everyone else. Very clever from a business perspective, I think. They are (were?) the best so know that people will pay a premium for that.
Most developers are paid more than 2x the median wage. For HN, that difference is probably 3x-5x or more. If class consciousness is on the rise, HN's readership is in the classes that the lower economic strata are going to be rising up against. If you have any illusions that the proletariat will welcome you with open arms for your claimed solidarity, think again or you might be in for a shock; specifically, a short, sharp shock.
Why Do Multi-Agent LLM Systems Fail?
It’s clearly not. The human user is not requesting the resource. The AI is.
Is there a windows version ?
Curious - does anyone want this stuff?
Unionization, mandatory schooling, and work-life balance are all collective outcomes of industrialization and urbanization. Claiming that one caused the other is silly oversimplification.
>I think we should also make it common practice to share grocery lists with your employer, as well as the date and time of sexual acts. This is even more justifiable than the status of the train that takes you to work.

>I mean, trains are late not often enough to make any significant difference. Whereas unhealthy diet, or say, sleepless nights of lovemaking, can dramatically affect a worker's productivity almost permanently.

You misunderstand me completely -- is that on purpose, are you only focused on your situation and assume no other situation could possible exist?

Or are you just dumb?

Contracts that an organization may have with their customers may require that personnel be onsite at particular times, with the caveat that penalties in the contract may be lessened or eliminated if the lapse was an event outside the contractor's control.

In such situations, it can be important (assuming you want to get paid) to be able to document such events.
They say they are much better at not hallucinating but you also cant run it on your own hardware like whisper.
IMO, Both of it have its places, there are many small companies who don't do Gitops for them asking claude is better than navigating AWS console. For your case, why not ask claude to generate TF ,fix any errors and and run tf apply.
React today looks very different from React from 10 years ago. Easily as different as being a different framework. So, there is some nuance, but the logic isn't dead quite yet.

Why Do Baleen Whales Migrate? [pdf]
Hello, you experienced this bug because we were not updating the status from pending to failed when an error happened during apk building. We are working on improving the experience but in the mean time try getting the src code and building the apk locally.
if you can boot, you change what you need to change in running os.

efibootmgr works when os is online too, so just do same thing, be online when you are changing parameters.i remember in good old days of first android devices, there were million posts about which cpu scheduler is best to speed my android device. only real answer was remove all schedulers from kernel source code. (FIFO). it provided 30% boost ... not one article said that. less code is running (no matter how optimized), faster systems are. less code to maintain, cheaper software is, less bugs, attack surface there is.

i am arguing that booting direct by uefi is simpler and faster for everybody because it is ONE standardized way to do it. FOSS is about extracting money by providing "support". but this "support" is immoral when you pay them to fasten your boot, because they intentionally doing boot wrong/slow/nonsensical.

customized BSD system can boot in 50ms, so you can spawn working vm fast, do we need that kind of customization of boot ? no i would like for distributions to give me 2 sec to kde login screen like i already have it in clear linux. this is not advert for clear linux or kde. it is example that current mainstream state of thing is i.....c.

or clear linux again, you press reboot in KDE and kernel does kexec reboot, so i do not need to wait for hw to initialize for 3 minutes because im restarting for reasons not involving hw... . IT JUST MAKES SENSE

currently, linux is nonsensical ball of lint flying from one side to another because Linux Tech Tips brooded children cried nonsense to developers on Xtwitter, i am fed up with that.

i do not advocate for coreboot in any shape or form, i was just providing examples that IT IS doable for last 15 years but very few noticed. another example - lenovo ThinkLMI - Lenovo BIOS Setup using Linux WMI.
Isn’t the investigation difficulty a function of its novelty? I figure after the first few drone bombings cities will learn how to deal with them.
1st mistake: rebasing in CI.

Stop rebasing.

This should only happen if absolutely necessary to fix major merge mistakes.

Rebasing changes history and I've seen more problems prevented from removing it as a CI strategy.

Every CI strategy I've seen relying on rebasing had a better alternative in SDLC. You just need to level up your project management, period.
Exactly. As usual, HN commenters are rat-holing on the precise meaning of "demanding 80 hour weeks" and trying to refute it by saying "Well, ackshually, companies don't spell out an explicit requirement for exactly 80 hours, therefore there exists no pressure to work long hours!"

Example given: When one of your co-workers gets visible praise and maybe a small spot bonus for burning the midnight oil, working a heroic 100 hour week, and saving a production outage, this sends a clear message to everyone else: more working hours will be rewarded and normal working hours is just doing the bare minimum. This message is unwritten but clearly sent/received.

When you are stack ranked against your peers in the company, most are working 80 hour weeks and some are working 40 hour weeks, and the 40 hour guys get PIP'ed, this sends a clear, yet unwritten message, too.

There doesn't have to exist a written policy that says "You must work 80 hour weeks" for it to be an unofficial, coerced part of the culture.

It's as if nobody here saw the "15 pieces of flair" scene in Office Space.
As the sibling comment suggests, the impulse is probably more on the part of an Ubisoft or an EA project director to avoid hiring a voice actor.
I don't know if there was just a crap ton of blue hypergiant stars in the early universe that crank through the fusion ladder in a couple million years, it wouldn't surprise me.
Forget what it eats to continue improving.

Realize what it already has.

A foundational language model with no additional training is already quite powerful.

And that genie isn't going back into the bottle.
Well then such a cache needs obviously to have limit to the disk space it uses and some sort of cache replacement policy, since if one can generate a zip file for each tag, that means that the total disk space of the cache is O(n^2) where n is the disk usage of the git repositories (imagine a single repository where each commit is tagged and adds a new file of constant size), so unless one's total disk space is a million/billion times larger than the disk space used by the repositories, it's guaranteed to fill the disk without such a limit.
In base 2 there are 0 of those since all are of the form 1000...
>MW2 the whole culture of launch hype with midnight releases and camping out and so on was just about dead thanks to digital distribution and such

Not quite. MW2 was the largest video game launch on record by pre-orders, revenue and units sold when it was released. Its release broke nearly all of Halo 3's release records. There was no digital release at launch. It also had a massive advertising campaign. There were large ads in every store with an electronics or games sections to an extent that I haven't seen since.
Followed by "... We made a system to generate digits for powers of two" ('we' not 'I')

That's awesome!
If that's the case, then you might as well just list it on eBay and skip the local classifieds/craigslist/facebook/whatever.

Is that a world we actually want?

For some reason this sounds AI-written, especially this paragraph:

> Companies love to brag about their innovation, but the real innovation is finding new ways to make us disposable. Permanent employment? That’s for suckers. Why pay benefits and offer job security when they can churn through contractors and freelancers like cheap code? And don’t get me started on those non-compete clauses - designed to keep you locked down and terrified to make a move that might actually be good for your career.
I did that a few years ago and it was fascinating: not only did it remove near-weekly React dependency churn, it produced significant performance improvements (multiple orders of magnitude better update speed - and yes, I did the usual incantations), and the total lines of code in our repo actually went down and it was easier code because it just did what was necessary without having to deal with layers of abstractions designed to work around earlier problems created by the framework.

One of the things I realized while working on it was that it was easy because I’ve learned the web platform over the years and was able to use builtin features rather than reaching for more libraries, but a lot of younger developers only ever really learned React and are stuck the IE6 era it was designed around. That allows them to be productive, of course, but it often means that people take on layers of dependencies because once they’ve invested a lot in that path the cost of switching is really high.
Interesting... that AL73400 part they're using is the first generation Graviton, and AFAICT that's not available on AWS anymore. Maybe Amazon considers it obsolete and is selling their stocks off to third parties like MikroTik?
Depends if the legal system survives.

You may not be able to stop AIs from crawling web sites through technological means. But you can confiscate all the resources of the company that owns the AI.

Step 1: Resist the urge to overcomplicate.
Step 2: Don't build multiple applications that need shared components.
Step 3: Profit

I slightly tease here, but really these are all leadership decisions that you can simply decide against. I would never implement those things because they're largely profit-less decisions.

Having 2 apps that operate slightly differently is okay—even under the same brand.
Use bépo, of course! More seriously, Airbus uses qwerty since at least the A380. This means that the A350 and the A330, two aircrafts that share a type rating, do not use the same layout.

That's multiplying the work the server has to do by a large number so it can show a nicer progress bar.

Like with "practicing medicine without a license" or "practicing law without a license" ... what would constitute "practicing software development without a license?"

The licenses are enforced by law... and just having a certificate isn't sufficient for them to be useful. You also have to say "you can't do this without a license."
> They are pretty much by definition highly intelligent people who could earn a lot more by working for FAANG or hedge funds

Having interviewed many failed priests of higher education, this is not true. It might have been true 50 years ago, but if you are smart and intelligent you typically do not spend 5-7 of the most productive years of your life getting a PhD.

>but prefer to take lower paid work on the off chance they get to discover something interesting about the universe we live in. So not much like priests then.

This is exactly what priests do for religion right? Academics are ordained priests educated in the Seminary of Higher Education. You need to be granted a Doctor of Philosophy in order to join the Church of Higher Education, and then maybe a few decades of cloistered contemplation and publishing of prayers to the funding agencies will let you do something useful.
Iguanas on rafts floated 5k miles from North America to Fiji, study finds
Have you considered instituting a formal quality system? I'm not even saying that it's an alternative to or incompatible with licensing, but there are off-the-shelf standards for software process and quality you can download and implement today without government action.

A surgeon doesn't get to time-travel and test 1000 different ways to make a cut. You don't get to build 1000 bridges in the same location for load testing. But with software we can have a final deliverable that remains inert if you put quality gates between the development process and deployment. There is a very strong argument that when it is possible to have process and testing to hold the deliverable itself to the standards, that puts more confidence in the deliverable than just practitioner sign-off that it's right.
If Moore's law is applicable in such a case, that is.

…and designers, and PMs, and sales and marketing and support and…

I know that, charitably, the point is that engineers often have higher leverage than other individual contributors at a tech company.

But the whole point of a union is to join together employees (as opposed to employers) for greater leverage. Don’t make your tent smaller for no reason!
You greatly underestimate the stubbornness of a Canadian to suffer for what they believe is right.
I agree with this, but I think we need to keep in mind that oftentimes managers and executives aren't aware of how this works in our domain. When it's time to cut someone short, they have to decide between you and me doing 40 hour weeks vs. some other employees putting in overtime. It's not an easy problem to solve though.

This is important for a certain class of women, but that doesn't have to be your class, and if you're on here you can solve it with the same skills that presumably make you a highly paid professional tech type.

Also, go for women taller than you.
> You don't have to tell me

You're kind of the person who went off-topic here. Parent's point was that what's suggested in the article is communism, then you start involving the Soviet Union for some reason, although it has nothing to do with the discussion at hand.
> What’s nonsensical is to say funding science means good things happen, not funding science means bad things happen. What’s science? I don’t know. Everything from particle physics, to elementary school surveys.

I think, in aggregate, it’s trivially true that funding science results in good things happening. I think if there are specific studies that appear valueless, they could be assessed for future potential outcomes, wherein “we don’t know” is a viable and not unvaluable answer.

I don’t think anyone disagrees that there’s value in oversight, they , and I, just disagree that not knowing, right now, the future outcomes isn’t really indicative of anything and is not a comment on the presence or absence of that future value.
I mean the browser and security does change somewhat often so there's that.

> Make a new package, or a distinctly different version of the original package that won't get imported by a simple upgrade.

Maybe some of this is cultural or habits, but I've seen projects that do like import "react-router": "latest", and with no package-lock... and I'm like WTF are you doing? That is a recipe for disaster pulling in latest major versions which by semver can and do have breaking changes.

That so many libs take advantage of semver is both good and bad.
Improvement suggestion: Keep the search text in the search field when you show the results. The 'what are you looking for' box gets cleared when you show the results, it would be nicer if the search text was kept so that you could tweak it.
I'd like to see unions negotiate better equity deals. For pre-IPO companies, it's typical that the equity is worth nothing, and employees can actually lose money on their equity by buying it during early exercise or when they leave. For a typical employee, equity is too risky and too detached from their individual activity to be part of compensation, and it makes more sense to have different incentives. E.g. SAFEs or convertible notes where you can get paid at the next funding round instead of the IPO between 10 years and never. Alternatively, a union would have leverage and scale to arrange tender offers that individuals wouldn't. Also, during an acquisition, the union can negotiate to waive liquidation preference, since an acquirer doesn't want to buy a company where the employees don't get paid and strike on the first day.
With the price being an absolutely awful user experience. Did the email arrive yet? Or wasn’t it sent in the first place? Oh wait, let’s check spam. Send again, what do you mean try again in five minutes, I want to sign in now!
So? The whole point of academia is that they aren't bound by customers. Except that's been subverted by having to kowtow to funding agencies and universities most concerned with accruing and distributing money. Defeating the whole point of having them in the first place! Free and open markets are far more efficient at distributing and allocating capital.

There has been some darkly hilarious reporting that much of this administration was genuinely surprised and confused that Canada didn't immediately roll over in response to US bullying. Most people realize that the world isn't made up of NPCs during childhood, but I guess the clowns currently in charge missed that developmental step. Either that or they have spent so much time on twitter and similar spaces that it has seriously warped their view of reality.
Thanks very much, I had forgotten about ARM.

The Vision Fund lost on tons more companies than just WeWork though. But your overall point is correct - there were a couple outsized winners (also just found another article that they made a huge gain on DoorDash) that I'm guessing took care of the majority of their losses.

Yes, electron-beam lithography is fantastic but also fantastically slow. Sorta like building a Lego model brick by brick vs layer by layer. It's still used for reticle fabrication and repair.

I don’t know what I have said constitutes either a lie or hate. I’m not making generalizing statements about racial groups, nor painting a picture about victims of violence which seeks to minimize or justify said violence. What I am doing is interpreting said violence in a less hateful way as you have, and pointing out how you interpretation is harmful.

Now I live around Palestinians, I have spoken with Palestinian refugees, both in Iceland and the USA. I have attended lectures from Palestinians, I follow Palestinians on social media (both the diaspora, from Gaza, West-Bank, and East Jerusalem). And my interaction with them paints a very different picture than you. The Palestinians I have spoken to don care about Hamas, they may even support Hamas, their primary concern is the Israeli occupation, and sometimes the Israeli settler-colonial national psyche (i.e. Zionism). They are way more pissed at the Israeli government, the behavior it has normalized, the support it gets from Israeli citizens, and the complicity from both Western countries, but especially the inactivity of other Arab countries. They may bring up religious settlers, but that would just be one example of a much larger list of the systemic oppression they experience. They may bring up Hamas, but that is getting into the nitty grit of Palestine politics, they are actually more likely to criticize Palestinian Authority than Hamas.

Now my experience in interacting with Palestinians is probably very skewed to the left. I meet people in protests, on social media I follow gay’s rights activists, etc. So no doubt there are more conservative Palestinians who’s primary concern is Hamas and religious settlers, however I don’t think that makes my view ignorant nor hateful, just a little biased. However if I were to reduce the Palestinian opinion to only include the more simplistic and conservative one, that would not only make my option ignorant, but also perhaps a little racist.
