Was the term icepick here given to you, or did you describe it yourself this way? That would be a good example of a description of piercing pain.

Thank you, I love this app.
I don't think this is necessarily unique to programmers. I often heard the same sentiment expressed by (non-CS) postdocs, who longed to leave academia to become artisanal bakers or small-scale mushroom farmers.
Last I checked Google is not buying or pirating books for Google Search they just grab free data that has been provided.
I use ChatGPT almost exclusively for this today due to quite extreme ADHD that even when treated, leaves me weaker than most in the executive department. My therapists have always advised that I have some kind of "second brain" where things live, otherwise they just vanish into the ether.

Why use "AI" at all? Because now I have something to yell at me and ask if I actually finished the thing I said I would before jumping into some new thing. If I have not, it can give me a concrete next step to help me overcome the analysis paralaysis that may be preventing completion.

I've worked hard to configure the thing so that it won't tolerate my bullshit. It is entirely structured around pushing me to function as a normal adult should. Yes its sad and pathetic I can not do this alone, how broken must I be that an "AI" is any level of assistance in this area etc. The idea I am sure seems ludicrous to 'normal people' who would never even remotely consider using it for such a thing. However it is what it is, and I would prefer the shame that comes with the extreme benefit I have received as opposed to the opposite.
Right, why not SUSE Linux which is European?

I trust big companies far more with my data than small ones.

Big companies have so much data they won't be having a human look at mine specifically. Some small place probably has the engineer looking at my logs as user #4.

Also, big companies have security teams whose job is securing the data, and it won't be going over some unencrypted link to cloudflare because OP was too lazy to set up Https certs.
This seems like an inefficiency to solve, though maybe it definitionally can’t be solved online?

And I mean this in a hopeful way: All the time when I out and about and thinking about this problem, I see so many mediocre looking couples out there that seem happy. In fact, looking at my dating history, I would not make a direct correlation between say, being my “type” and relationship success.

I remember when I was in high school, my (notably single) friends made fun of this girl I was dating because she had a funky tooth, and I remember having the wherewithal to think to myself, who cares, she’s fun and makes me happy.

I think generally speaking the internet has really done us a disservice in making us think if we don’t have the ideal life we won’t be happy, when often the opposite is true, being fully engaged with a normal life is the true route to happiness for most people.

There’s also, I don’t know how to describe it, but fundamentally sad about the idea that mediocre people shouldn't be loved, I think what makes it really sad, is not what it says about other people, but what it says about the person who believes that.

You're making more unsubstantiated accusations and saying I'm a propagandist, a fascist, blah blah. What is your support for this?

I am concerned with dominance because I don't trust china to hold a military advantage and not abuse it against my people. I expect multiple other countries feel this way, which is fine. All of us will probably jockey for position and I'm arguing we should focus all our resources behind maintaining ours.

Kind of insane that you think because of this I'm a fascist. I'd struggle to think of a credible definition of fascism, even one with which I disagree, that encompasses this. Can you clarify as to whether you're referring fascism as in the definition and political system or in the sense of "orange man is a fascist"?

I specifically talked about disregarding china's IP in response to her disregarding ours. I think we may be in violent disagreement on this point. I didn't say we should go bomb beijing to protect American patents, I said we should cheerfully rip hers off in return. From what you're saying, you believe this would be a good thing and help American growth; I agree.

Obsession with war isn't precisely a good definition of jingoism; regardless, I'm not. I'd very much like to avoid war. As Clausewitz put it, war is an extension of policy by other means. My concern is that we lose most of our non-military means - trade, diplomacy, etc. - due to economic and industrial weakness and insecurity, thus leaving only one open for important issues. I wish to avoid war and pursue peace through strength.

I said nothing about humiliation etc. of enemies. You're reading that into something I said, not sure why.

Can people who have used/were around at this time (early 1970s) give a description of the typical dev environment?

Also helpful: C history https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_language#History

From wikipedia, early Unix was developed on PDP/11 (16-bit).

signed 16-bit ints, 8-bit chars, arrays of those previous types.

identifiers were limited in length? (I'm seeing 8 chars, lowercase, as the longest)

octal numeric constants, was hexadecimal used?

there was only a line editor available (vi was 1976)

did the file system support directories at that point?

no C preprocessor, no header files. (1973)

no make/makefiles (1976)

was there a std library used with the linker or an archive of object files that was the 'standard' library?

Bourne shell wasn't around (1979), so wikipedia seems to point to the Thompson shell - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thompson_shell

was there a debugger or was printf the only tool?

What do you mean by “provided”, exactly? Just because something can be accessed via HTTP GET request doesn’t mean it’s legal to fetch it, and does not give you an implicit license to do with it whatever you want. Google, in fact, will happily, scrape, index, and serve queries from PDFs of illegally pirated copyrighted books.

Show HN: Woofcam.live a Free P2P Pet Monitor
Hey! I've been using a free pet cam in the past for my dog and the site went down a few months ago so I thought I'd just make it myself.

Currently uses only STUN servers so some connections may not work but that means it's 100% p2p. Would love some feedback and general advice!

But also, feel free to user this as a daily driver if need be. Can also monitor stuff other than pets of course.

> against progress of advancements for arts and sciences.

No it’s always against commercialization. That’s why we have exceptions like political commentary, satire and in particular arts and sciences. The issue is about making money from someone else’s work.

You can still disagree with it of course, but let’s have an honest discussion.
HN is almost perfect as it is. I really hope it does not change.

I love that it barely has any styling. Just enough to make it work. The fact that it doesn't use any design patterns is actually one of the reasons I visit HN.

The only thing I would change is the font sizes on mobile. I find it hard to tap the `Comments` link or the upvote buttons. I sometimes end up fat fingering those. Maybe a little bigger or a bit more padding?
It seems that most people on this site believe that this is a good thing, but all this restriction would mean is that for the next while - the only companies able to afford mass licensing would be in the SPY 500, and that's assuming these companies wouldn't just flock to a nation outside of Americas influence.

At some point, it becomes a national security issue. This technology is going to be leveraged in ways we can't even dream up today. Copyright law needs to be re-imagined in a way that won't restrict advancement in AI, and AI-adjacent technology. It's not because we want to - it's because we have to.
I've wondered: if I could switch my main and side jobs, making farming my primary career and doing some programming and sysadmin work on the side, would I be happier? Or would I get as tired of the main job as I am now, and wish I could spend more time on the side work? Hard to say, since I need to keep it this way to make a good living.

Here are Lazard's 2024 LCOE numbers, a popular reference (though they're often too generous regarding renewables). https://www.lazard.com/media/xemfey0k/lazards-lcoeplus-june-...

You will notice that utility PV and CCGT are relatively similar in cost. Of course, replacing most of our energy infrastructure would have massive capex that one would add to the solar option. Note that the solar numbers do not include the cost of storage. And the storage requirements as you replace each GW of generation get higher, not lower.
> I live in Shenzhen, where there are people from all over China, and everyone is not much different from each other, nor does anyone care where someone comes from.

That seems usually true in densely populated areas that attract people from all over; e.g., most people in NY or LA don't care where you're from; it doesn't even register as something to question.

It's the people in the less dense areas that object (to people they've seldom encountered). They are the ones that much more often object to immigrants or certain ethnic groups. People from less dense areas are the ones who want 'crackdowns' on urban crime - that is, in a community they don't live in. People in the cities vote for liberals overwhelmingly.
> So now he sits alone in his mansion and cries himself to sleep, because while "never work again" money is nice to have, he'd rather have the kudos and recognition of being the creator of a much-loved game. And that's the one thing he can't have any more.

I mean, do we actually know that? I haven't heard anything about Notch in years and years, but I just assumed it was because he was hanging out with his friends and family and enjoying his wealth. It's certainly what I'd do in his shoes, but maybe he's said he doesn't enjoy how things out and I was unaware.
The same way we can't process what a trillion dollars looks like, we can't actually process what large scale theft looks like. For shits and giggles, these people also have a trillion dollars.

Most "normies" I know only recognize ChatGPT with AI, so for sure, brand recognition is the only thing that matters.
Unfortunately as someone of the christian faith I have first hand experience that you can not control someone else's use of language. Whether that is the meaning it was originally intended to convey or not that is the meaning that it conveys now. The best you can do here is to say: "That does not represent my own personal definition despite the zeitgeist coopting it to mean something else".
The amount of documentation provided by the Wrights makes denial of their claim to being the first tauntamout to Moon landing denialism. Even several years later and with the benifit of knowing of the Wright's innovations, Santos-Dumont was barely able to get off the ground for a few hundred meters while the Wrights were flying tens of kilometers.

ChatGPT's o1 is still really good and the free options are not compelling enough to switch if you've been using it for a while. They've positioned themselves to be a good mainstream default.
I have barely 2 years of experience in software development, so I wasn't around doing Delphi and stuff (I vagely remember seeing a Pascal book at my grandparent's).

However I feel like the current paradigm of declarative ui, with automatic re-render, like React (and what I actually use: Compose Multiplatform) is very good for producing maintainable applications and encourages UI decoupling.

I agree that the dependency hell and project setup parts on the web are horrible, but I wouldn't say it's part of "UI Development".

I have this same dishwasher in my apartment (installed by my landlord). It’s not just that it requires a cloud connection for the features, but that the setup is so janky and bug-ridden that I’ve been unable to successfully make it happen.

So I just live without the extra features.

For now, motivation is to win the AI race. Not sure how or who would keep these models updated in the future.

I mean all of them.
I've been talking to people about re-doing home purchasing for literally 20 years. Getting people interested, browsing, and selecting listings to view has never been the problem. "Schedule a showing" is the problem. You don't want to be there when potential buyers are there. And you aren't going to let just anyone into your home simply because they were on an app. So you need a trusted 3rd party. Hence, agents.

Also, real estate agents already have sites and apps to help you browse and filter listings. As a buyer, those apps already have the features that you describe on your site, including the list of properties, amenities, info, and buttons to "Schedule a showing". I'm not seeing a differentiator in the experience, yet you are asking for money to use your app.

If you really think you have something here by adding AI, your best business model is not a B2C SaaS, it is partnering with the big real estate firms and selling them on a better mousetrap to offer their customers, to replace their existing solutions.
Search engines are an index to a first approximation. I realize they sometimes hoist a thesis sentence or two up to their page, but it feels substantially different than automating derivative works for sale.
The article appears to be a rant and panic piece…

At this point, I am totally confused. When I attend expensive courses from Google or Amazon, the idea in the courses are that, tech has become sooo complex(I agree, look at the number of ways you can achieve something using aws infinite number of services), we need some code assistants which can quickly remind us of that one syntax or fill out the 10000th time of writing same boilerplate or quickly suggest a new library functions that would take several google searches and wading through bad documentations on another 5h of SEO spam or another 50 StackOverflow with same issue closed as not focused enough/duplicate/opinionated.

It is like, they want to sell you this new shiny tool. If anyone here remembers the early days of Jetbrains IDEs, the fans would whirl and IDE would freeze in middle of intellisense suggestion, but now those are buttery smooth and I actually feel sad when unable to access them.

Now, on the outside in news, media, blogs and what not, the marketing piece is being boosted a 1000x with all panic and horror, because a certain greedy people found that, only way to dissuade brilliant people from the field and not bootstrap next disrupters by signaling that they themselves will be obsolete.

Come to think of it, it is cheap now. First idea was to hire them when investments were cheap and disruption risk was high, then came the extinction of ZIRP when it was safe to stop hoarding them as no investment means less risk of disrupters, but if some dared, acquire and kill in the crib. Then came bad economy, so now it is easier to lay them off and smear their reputation so they can’t get the time of the day from deep pockets. Final effort is to threat the field by fake marketing and media campaign of them being replaced.

This panic drama needs to stop. First we had SysAdmins maintaining on-prem hardware and infra. But Aws/Gcp/Azure/Oracle came along to replace them to only move them up the chain and now we need dedicated IAM specialist, certified AWS architects, Certified Azure Cloud Consultants and what not.

Sorry for the incoherent rant, but these panic and “f*k you entitled avocado toast eating school dropout losers, now you’ll be so screwed” envy social media posts are so insane and gets so much weird, I am just baffled by the whole thing.

I don’t know what to believe, big tech telling me in their pretty courses and talks about how my productivity and code quality will be now improved, or the media and influencers telling me we are going to be so obsolete (and avocado toast eating dropout, which I am not). Only time will tell.

In the meantime, the more I see demos of impressive LLM building entire site from everyone and their pet hamster, the more number of Frontend engineering jobs popup daily on my inbox(I keep job alerts to watch market trends and dabble in topics that might interest me).
That is not what I said though. I said that a lot of people who claim they are transumanist claim that transhumanism is those things. Which is not the same as what you are describing.
Hi this is my project!

I'm giving a talk on this in May for London Clojurians, and I'll also be talking about it at Lambda Days in Krakow in June.

https://www.meetup.com/london-clojurians/events/306843409/

The project was initially inspired by Dr John Sturdy's thesis "A Lisp through the Looking Glass" which is all about interpreter towers and the ability to modify them in both directions.

This is all just for fun, I've yet to think of anything truly useful you can do with this. If you have any cool ideas please let me know, they might even make it into my talk!
If you read Anderson "A history of Aerodynamics" it disagrees on this point. It states that the Wright's didn't have a good way to calculate drag, and they didn't understand many of the side effects from real wings (like flow separation) which caused wrong measurements initially. Later on they apparently came back to something that was closer to Lilienthal's numbers, even though the problem simply wasn't fully understood at the time.

This paper has a similar conclusion:
https://corescholar.libraries.wright.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi...

"When the Wright brothers compared their results with those of Lilienthal, they found some
disagreement, but not as much as they expected. As Wilbur states in his diary for October
16, 1901: "It would appear that Lilienthal is very much nearer the truth then we have
heretofore been disposed to think." [Wolko, 21]. 17 The formulas were still not producing
the lift and drag that were actually being produced. The only other possible source of error
in these equations was the Smeaton coefficient of air pressure."
