RT cores? No. Too primitive and specific.

But there is seemingly a generalization here to the Raytracing software ecosystem. I dunno how much software / hardware needs to advance here, but we are at the point where Intel RT cores are passing the stack pointers / instruction pointers between shaders (!!!). Yes through specialist hardware but surely this can be generalized to something awesome in the future?

For now, I'm happy with stream expansion / stream compaction and looping over consume buffers and producer/append buffers.
Snapshots on ZFS only take up space when files change. It's easy to use one of the many snapshot managers to accomplish what you want - I do it for my workstation and laptop. I have zero fear of deleting files, upgrading the OS, making sweeping changes to my system config, etc.
Robots will be doing that. There will also be a small workforce to repair the robots. The rest of us will have to learn to grow and preserve food. That is assuming the feudals leave us alone and don't exterminate us instead.

1. I would see that a red flag.

2. Any standard education in CS or SWE, AI hasn't changed anything about it IMHO. Only people hyping ChatGPT believe that the world has changed.

2b. It doesn't change anything since "vibe coding" (aka "code vomit") has no value to me. I want to work with juniors eager to learn, and vibe coders are not part of that group.

I already had bad experiences with "vibe coders" who can't explain or debug their code. They are like "pigeon CEOs" and only add problems without bringing solutions.

Tesla is a poor counterargument because it is no longer a market leader. It has poor management compared to 10 years ago and seems to be unable to attract top talent (poor labor relations).

Tesla is being leapfrogged by competitors across the auto industry. All it has is first mover status (charging network).

Tesla purposefully limits the capabilities of its self driving by refusing to implement it with sensors that go beyond smartphone cameras.

My belief is that Tesla doesn’t want to actually deliver a car that can drive itself because the end result of Waymo is that fewer people will need to own a car and fleets of short term rental self-driving cars won’t spend frivolous money on prestige and luxury like consumer car buyers. They won’t lease a car and replace it every 2-3 years like some car owners do just because they like having a new car. Fleet vehicle operators purchase cars with razor thin margins and make decisions based solely on economics, as well as having a lot more purchasing leverage over car manufacturers.

I don’t think Tesla ever wants self driving to work, they just want to sell the idea of the software.
I’m curious too. I self host on a server, no issues so far.
As far as I can tell, TREE-META and META II were unrelated compiler compilers.
Take a look here (titansolar DOT de) or ( etronixcenter DOT com) or ( secondsol DOT com)...

If you look around, you can go as low as 50kwh for 6000 Euro. So around 120 Euro / Kwh on the low point. For the newer models with build in fire suppression, its around 150 Euro / Kwh.

Ofcourse, self installation. Its those "professional" installation jobs that are so overpriced and where you pay a premium. Think my dad payed like 3.5K euro for a 5K battery a few years ago (Huawei). And he passive regretted not just doing a second installation himself with a 20k battery (at that time was around 3.5k).

Prices have collapsed. Bifu (double side) Panels are now like 70 Euro, even 62 Euro (32 panel packs).

Note: German prices in the above stores, aka no tax on solar as its tax free in Germany.

I don't think productivity itself is absurd but it's definitely a hard thing to do, especially in small time intervals.

I think it's important to measure employee performance and you can definitely can a macro look and say "what have you accomplished in the last year" which might be measured of delivery of "t-shirt" sized projects
He wasn’t supposed to be able to run in 2024 either, thanks to the 14th Amendment. And the Supreme Court decided it didn’t matter. Why do you think the 22nd will have more impact?
Most of - if not all people around me who truly "money made it" have paid a tremendous price in health, family or addictions. For myself - I'm very relaxed and not very stressed. What I would say to someone who actually listens is - relax - be strategic - manage your shit tight and think before putting significant effort into something - I mean really think.

Just like a good poker game - I fold my cards 80-85% of the times - sometime I bluff and other times I hope for a bit of luck.

This approach has worked wonders.

I gave a presentation on SeL4 for my local OWASP chapter. I'll have to see if I can dig it up.

The project truly is a nice piece of kit, but I would hesitate to consider it as a replacement for Linux, especially for general purpose computing. Though that isn't to say microkernels are terrible for it in general. RedoxOS seems to be making some inroads lately and it uses a microkernel written in Rust.
It's actually about LLMs. They're fundamentally limited by our preconceptions. Can we go back to games and AlphaZero?

That too seems an ungenerous characterisation, and the GP could not have deduced that from the OP. I'm glad the author is constructively incorporating criticism and working to turn this into a useful tool that OSM users will benefit from, because they wouldn't have been the first to get overly defensive after their work was interpreted in the worst light possible.

Is there really such a large crossover that climbing.com makes it to hacker news? Sure, this is interesting, but I love that this site is focused on tech.
Gaining users is one challenge, but activating them is another. There seems to be friction in translating app sign-ups into real-world actions

What you can do (if you're not already doing it)
Implement a quick-start feature that simplifies the process: users input a date they need coverage, and the system proactively suggests compatible verified-only sitters with auto-generated message templates.

Introduce push notifications that remind users to reach out to nearby matches or highlight new pet parents in their area.

Also you can consider hosting local meet-and-greet events (since you're set in the Bay Area), partnering with local pet shops or parks to build trust.

Adding a group chat feature for local neighborhoods (i.e. for a city, or a neighborhood) can foster communication and trust.

You can add "premium sitters" that can gain money if they do some specific things like in person verification, they have a big fenced garden or something else. They will cost money to book them.
I can help you with this; the best way for me to do that is to "show vs. tell" though, so I'd need to see your current product & understand how it is useful.

I've been a UX/Product Designer for 20 years. I have a formal education in Design & Cognitive Science. Here is my portfolio for reference--it needs an update, but there are detailed case studies on there that will be useful for you to get an understanding of the process behind the designs.

I was able to raise, it's been interesting. But a part of me feels like I just can't take this shit seriously anymore. I'd like to think I just have a real brain and self-respect for thinking this way - or maybe I just suck. Not sure that I actually care, not really that afraid of my 30s if I'm more okay thinking this way.

Frankly, I'd prefer to build / consult in a LCOL area with real seasons.

Yes! People love Cobra and yet every time I've used it, it's felt super janky and unreliable at actually doing what you think it should.

Not a fan.
My experience is the opposite. Easy stuff is simpler to pair up. Really hard stuff is solo. E.g. I expect Ph.D. work to be mostly a solo project.

Not that it's impossible to do hard work collaboratively but I think a lot of heavy thinking is solo (Einstein, Newton e.g.) and it's hard to keep other people synchronized.
It is not absurd. From manager's point of view, when they are deciding to let someone go or promote them, they often need some arguments. And since software is invisible, it is often hard to just say straight away who is over/underperforming and why you think so apart from a "vibe" you are having. Measuring some relevant metrics can strengthen your argument and/or your overview of the situation.

I don't think that the blog makes a compelling argument why measuring productivity is bad per se. It makes a compelling argument that metrics should not be interpreted blindly, but the metrics in this case identified a guy that was doing something unusual, and the managers managed to interpret why this is the case. But if it was an IC that is supposed to deliver, or if you did not want "Tim" to spend his time coaching people, this could still have been valuable info.
It’s more like conditioning the posterior of a response on “Ok, so…” lets the model enter a better latent space for answering logically vs just spitting out a random token.
Have you considered mechatronics? There may be some curricular differences among mechatronics, EE, and mechanical engineering to consider, especially coming from a software development background.

I would, under my understanding of what vibe coding is, provided that the prompt and vibe check processes aren’t overly limited.

My understanding of vibe coding is that you prompt, the LLM does something, and if it passes the vibe check you go with it, and if not, you do something to revert it, and afterward you try another prompt. Reverting after it doesn’t pass a vibe check could be actual reverting or a forward fix.

If you read stuff and do research and spend time thinking when prompting or doing a vibe check, I think this is a valuable activity.
> the previous owners electrified the house so having a tank just for a generator didn't make sense

The PNW has been on a campaign of hate against natural gas lately and unfortunately that delusion has spread to its residents. One of the most reliable low-maintenance appliances you could own is a direct vent natural gas fired water heater. Requires no external power source and quietly delivers hot water. The previous administration outlawed them but I understand that ridiculous law has now been reversed. You were trading a shred of efficiency for much lower reliability and resiliency. I would hear a lot of whataboutism that natural gas delivery requires electricity for the pumps but have never seen or heard of a single example of that happening, certainly not your typical PNW windstorm.

That leaves the essentials:

* Fridge/Freezer

* Heat

With an Energy Star fridge and a high efficiency natural gas fired furnace you could easily power this off a Costco-grade portable generator and have enough power left over to power the phone chargers and Internet (assuming that isn't out too).

The PNW's environmental crusading hate-boner against natural gas is going to end very poorly for its residents. Before forcing everyone onto heat pumps and electric everything they need to figure out how to keep the lights on more consistently than Puerto Rico.
Thank you for that reminder. Do you have any advice that directly addresses my question?

It would be interesting to compare the accident statistics with European climbing gyms where belay tests are not common.

The coach in the video has some of the worst belay technique I have ever seen. Unfortunately, this is somewhat common among older climbers who learned using the first generation Grigri in the 90s. Petzl's recommended technique back then is very safe (essentially using the Grigri like an ATC), but does not allow giving slack quickly. This made it completely useless for any kind of ambitious sports climbing, and people started coming up with often extremely dangerous workarounds. Petzl has upgraded their recommendations a long time ago, but some people are resistant to change ("it never failed for me"...) Hopefully this video can convince at least some of them to finally adopt the proper technique.
nah igor disagrees :)
Could you share a reference for those wanting to learn more?
that's cute but how much alternative medicine eventually finds a way into real medicine?

in other words : someone telling someone to practice yoga to relax and reduce their heart rate 200 years ago was a quack right up until the point that modern doctors decided to include it in their repertoire?

it's a cute joke but it skips over the fact that there seems to be an 'alternative medicine -> real medicine' pipeline, even if a lot of it turns out badly.

People should stop bringing up Mach so much. It should never have been the poster child for microkernels. It's poisoned the discourse when there are plenty of alternative examples. Granted, Mach also did some good work in the space, but its shortcomings are emphasized as if they reflect the whole field.

More to the point, drivers in userspace is an important distinction between "pure" monolithic kernels and microkernels: the former is optimizing for performance and the latter is optimizing for robustness. It's not about ease of implementation for either. It's quite meaningful to shift on the axis nowadays: it represents a critical pragmatic decision (notice purity is irrelevant). You're right that "higher-level things" such as the networking stack or filesystem are also crucial to the discussion. I think here, too, ease of implementation is not relevant, though.
My day to day for that chip is for PINs.

I know my bank account PIN, and it's linked through Apple Pay. My other cards - credit x2, building society I have no clue. Those PINs are stored and given I'm never out without my phone I always have access to the numbers.

I was constantly stopped and quizzed by the TSA to the point I would wipe my macbook and phone before travelling. Using the NFC chips that had all the details I needed made sense.
Thats what I meant. They will find some other part of the stack to lock down to rules lawyer against the openness of whatever the rest of the stack is. You have an open source Linux kernel, you may have an open source chip, so as you said they might cryptographically lock the bootloader. And now Android I believe is trying to make an end run around drivers in the Linux layer too. If thats true then manufacturers will jump to shift drivers into the Apache layer instead of the GPL kernel. ie if they even provide source dumps at all.

edit: It seems I am misinformed about the moving drivers above part. Perhaps I might have confused this from Fuchsia. In any case the main point was that as you yourself gave the example of, they will always find some part of the stack to hide all the real power/real logic into even if the other parts are open.
You're free to call the police whatever you want. But that's not what my comment was about.

Again, if your goal is to convince people (or at least have a constructive dialogue) why they should care about genetic privacy, all you have done for your average person is convince them even more that your opinion should be discounted.

Take in account, you may be speaking to a American, and there the whole solar/battery vs Generator can be extreme different.

Solar prices are still extreme expensive in the US (from my perspective), same with batteries, while gasoline is like 1/3 the price of Europe. So from that US point of view, its one or the other but both is more expensive.

Here going big with solar is way easier, and just a small backup generator is the norm for off-grid or grid-disconnected homes. People going 50, 70 ... battery Kwh installations is not uncommon anymore for the off-grid/grid disconnected homes. Especially when the batteries cost you barely 6k Euro.

I balk at seeing the US prices and that may be because of the much higher import taxes on Chinese panels/batteries (that and some extreme scrupulous installers).

Now to be honest, what people also ignore is that fuel prices are going to go only one way, and that is up. While a fix solar installation has only one cost, the few times you need to run a jenny. Batteries, especially large setups, easily do 20 year before they hit 80%.

Another US caveat, is that US households use way more electricity then Europeans. That is also a factor...

I disagree.

Burnout is caused by your body running on adrenaline and cortisol for too long as you’re pushing past what is sustainable. Eventually your body says - enough! And it forces you to stop.

The _symptom_ of burnout are as you describe: essentially you no long see the point of what you’re doing.

Speculatively, I believe the drop in motivation is your body’s way of stopping you pushing it any further. It’s a defence mechanism.

The headline is about the guy who created new procedures and standardization. Those are certainly technologies by many definitions. The article talks about how he created a lot of what we consider the modern climbing gym. Fitness innovations are also a form of technology.

Hacker news never claimed to be exclusively about digital technology, or electronic technology.

This is an article telling the story of someone passionate about creating something new and innovative. Seems pretty aligned to me?

Well, there's going to be less of those. As construction industry is further incentivised to use more efficient methods and materials for their plumbing, driven by the ever-competitive housing market (that would likely see a crash in our lifetime, you know?) making the point moot. I think nobody is delusional that there's blue ocean in plumbing, or some hidden plumbing Renaissance of human labour. Do people even want to do manual plumbing in the first place?

Earthquake or volcano would be my guess, with landslides being a secondary concern. Plate tectonics in that area creates some hidden (or in the case of Tahoma and others in the area, not so hidden) dangers that have struck in the recent history. The Nisqually earthquake comes to mind as well.
