This may sound crazy but my sight reading improved a lot after I took an ear training class that required me to work in arbitrary clefs. I always knew treble and bass from playing piano, and had really memorized the note positions in each.

When I was suddenly forced to work in tenor, alto, soprano, baritone clefs, I could no longer rely on memorization of note positions. I had to pivot to “reading intervals”. A fifth looks the same in any clef, so if you know the current note, and the next note is a fifth above, you know the next note too, clef be damned.
I suppose I should ask the other side too, though I am biased to favor microkernels, and am better read on them, but how so?

"Safe enough" measured by the standards of this upside-down industry...I'll let everyone decide that for themselves.

"More efficient": while monolithic kernels have a higher ceiling, currently there's plenty of OS research papers and industry work demonstrating that more integration with userspace brings performance benefits, such as in the scheduler, storage, or memory management. Microkernels encourage/enforce userspace integration.

"More scalable": I think this has less to do with kernelspace scale and more with how nodes are connected. See Barrelfish[0] for eschewing shared memory in favor of message passing entirely, running separate kernels on each core. Meanwhile Linux has gradually discovered a "big lock" approach is not scalable and reduced coarse-grained locks, added RCU, etc.. So I think we will go moreso towards Barrelfish. But on a single core, for what goes into the kernel, that's covered by everything but scalability.

Okay…now that we agree that UBI won’t produce any meaningful labor. What benefit do we get out of the trillions of dollars of debt we’d be accumulating?

It’s a classic economic blunder that dictatorships love to make:

1. Create money & rack up debt.

2. Produce nothing.

3. Create inflationary crisis and exacerbate wealth inequality.

4. Highlight your good intentions and relish your new position as champion of the people.
I don't think this will or necessarily should ever be fixed. The eventual solution (I imagine) will be to simply plug in a calculator. All the MCP talk on HN pushed me to try MCP out, and I'm sold. A Swiss army knife of tools like a calculator available would let a brain do what a brain is best at, and a calculator what a calculator is best at.
There are many experts saying that tomorrow won't rain, unless we make it rain ourselves. Don't make it sound like there's a clear consensus.

> What data do you have that Russia will stop?

I’m not the one suggesting we throw away €800 billion, excuse me for asking why. Still, I'll try to explain.

Russia has lots to lose and nothing to gain from a direct war with NATO. The last thing it needs is more land and resources, so we can exclude that as well. I also genuinely think the cause of this war is Russia feeling threatened by NATO expansion and a civil war on its border, whether you consider that legit or not.

The only reason for Russia to not stop is if we don't allow it, at this point.
Another interesting thing that got me excited about HFT is the microwave networks that connect exchanges in the US. It's not often you can say "because fiber optic is too slow," but for these use cases, it's actually a technical advantage. Every piece of the stack is hyper-optimized!

In contexts where a fuckup is likely to result in death or permanent disability it might be prudent to play the consequences instead of the odds.

Anyone ever tries to restructure a 10K text? For example, structure a 45min - 1hr interview transcript in an organized way without losing any detailed numbers / facts / supporting evidence. I find that none of OpenAI's model is capable of this task. Models are trying to summarize and omitting details. I think such task does not require much intelligence, but surprisingly OpenAI's "large" context model cannot make it.

Much less these days, but yeah, before the art supplies industry got consumerized, putting a framed canvas together was a whole job all on its own.

It would be like billing work on macOS as a loss. You’re not recognising the revenue it drives.

I think he’s got a point actually. How many times has a compiler told you about a missing semicolon ”here“, and you’ve never thought, ”well if you’re so clever, why don’t you just solve it?!“

Code is an awful abstraction to capture chains of thoughts, but it’s the best we’ve got. Still, caring about syntax, application architecture, concurrency, memory layout, type casting, …—all of that is just busywork, not making the robot go beep.

Replicating CSS Object-Fit in WebGL: Optimization of Scaling and Positioning
How are you going to tell spam from ham if you don’t understand the underlying systems and their constraints? And how are you going to gain that understanding if software engineering doesn’t value that anymore, and won’t educate people to gain it?

I dunno, it just doesn’t seem, like, all that thought out to me.
The elm trees are gone from Britain. I grew up without them.

It’s great that the typing part is being reduced - as is looking up APIs and debugging stupid issues that wreck your estimates by wasting your work-day!

You are still in charge and you still need to read the code, understand it, make sure it’s factored properly, make sure there’s nothing extraneous..

But ultimately it’s when you demo the thing you built (with or without AI help) and when a real human gets it in their hands, that the real reward begins.

In the future that’s coming, non-engineers will be more and more able to make their own software and iterate it based on their own domain expertise, no formally educated software engineers in sight. This will be outrage fuel for old-mindset software engineers to take to their blogs and shake their metaphorical walking-sticks at the young upstarts. Meanwhile those who move with the times will find joy in helping non-engineer domain experts to get started, and find joy once again in helping their non-engineer compatriots solve the tricky stuff.

Mark my words, move with the times people. It’s happening with or without you.
It's funny, it's the exact opposite for me.

I can go to a dozen local meetups and not meet one heart transplant surgeon or CEO of an artificial heart company or other blood pumping medical device. Even major cities have only a handful and they are busy. There is very little chance of bumping into them at a local meetup. It's much more time efficient for us to connect in this way.

Anecdotally, I've seen its common in the bay area at least for folks to exchange linkedin qr codes right away when meeting new folks, like a business card.

Anything with layers and layers of abstraction can be very difficult to document.

The first example I stumbled across of this was Java. The original Java doco was very, very easy to follow. But they invented interfaces, and gradually instead of passing say a string you passed some object that implemented a string like interface. After a while you even just finding out "how do I get me an object with the required interface" was a struggle.

The underlying cause is originally you just have to read and learn the basics of the language and it's core library. Everything else was expressing in terms of that, so if you read the documentation for some library, you already understood the parameters passed and the return results. Then the language gave developers the ability to build their own foundations. After that, when you looked at the documentation for a random library, it's arguments and return values were types you had never seen before - they were all abstract base classes and interfaces. Delve into them, and they also were made up of the same thing. You often had to pick you way through 1000's of definitions before you could get a complete picture.

Today, I'd say OpenSSL is the worst. In it's EVP API even the parameters to functions are abstracted to OSSL_PARAM's, and then they don't document all of them of just refer you to other bits of the data for "defaults", only half of which apply to the function you're trying to use.
That doesn't seem right. Even with strong hardware protections, how is Linux's TCB comparable to a microkernel? Unless it just recreates the exact same protection domains, there will be more vulnerability in Linux. Rather, the thing about hardware is primarily that it makes things more efficient. For example, microkernels nowadays are already quite robust because they make good use of certain hardware: the MMU. Then the small TCB of a microkernel gives the kernel credibiity, so the kernel and hardware together make for a solid infrastructure. So really it's a matter of how much "cheating" we're allowed to do with hardware, but microkernels overall utilize the protection better. Or see exokernels.
Show HN: I made a link-in-bio for developers

You can build customizable pages with your bio, github contributions, tech stack, portfolio, and more. You can also show if you are available for work (freelance, full time, mentorship) or not, which in the future will be used to feature profiles in a 'Find a developer' board for people interested in hiring based on what you set in the profile.

> I always assumed there was just something about the type of people who work in tech that they're weirdly more into climbing than average.

You were right the first time. Climbing is a largely constrained problem solving exercise with binary outcomes (you either did the route or didn't) and a built-in level-up style progression in the grading system. (Today I did my fist V2! etc...) You can do it entirely on your own, at your own time, in your own pace and it's not really possible to "lose" at climbing[1], you get unlimited attempts to try and figure it out. You can, for outdoor climbs, try the climb, fail, train for 6 months and retry the climb to succeed. In short it's almost designed to be addictive to coder types, but all that came before the indoor walls, not after.

Source: I climb obsessively. They got me good.

If the current admin wants the internet archive gone, or a portion of it gone, they'll find some way to do it. So in a way, yes I think it is a little bit of a slippery slope. Specifically the part about cloudfare adjudicating whether a website is making misleading claims / spreading misinformation or not.

I agree there is a bit of nuance here and the situations are not exactly alike. But the current administration doesn't deal well with nuance.
> You already have a career in software. I’m here to tell you: you probably won’t be learning much you don’t already know. I didn’t.

Woah. Pump the brakes. Even without precisely knowing what area of the IT world OP is in professionally - I can guarantee there's a huge amount of knowledge in a proper CS degree that they don't have. Granted a lot of that might be theoretics, but it's all fundamental to computer science.

Just off the top of my head - it's highly doubtful that they have familiarity with any of the following topics (all of which are found in rigorously academic CS programs):

- Linear algebra (eigenvectors, vector spaces, least squares, etc.)

- Discrete maths (recurrence, graph theory, tree spanning, grammars, etc.)

And that doesn't even begin to cover graphics and computation, compilers, algorithms, operating systems, data structures, artificial intelligence, and on and on.

You can dispute how much practical value this might have for your average software dev - but OP will 100% learn a great deal from a BS/MS in Computer Science.

But Zyrtec is second-generation. It shows 20,000-fold or greater selectivity for the H1 receptor over the five muscarinic acetylcholine receptors, and hence does not exhibit anticholinergic effects, so it should be OK. May still cause drowsiness, however.

I think NUMA management is high level enough that in a microkernel it would be comfortably managed in userspace, unlike things relevant to performance-critical context switches. And seL4 is currently intended only for individual cores anyways.
Medicine as a science didn't exist 200 years ago.

Breath exercises, and physical therapy for relaxation were mainstream in 1960-s.

> it's a cute joke but it skips over the fact that there seems to be an 'alternative medicine -> real medicine' pipeline

Not really. Most of the non-medicine (I refuse to call it "alternative") stays non-medicine: acupuncture, homeopathy, all the "energy meridians" nonsense, ayurveda, alkaline foods, etc.

And even with activities like yoga, it's not more effective than other types of similar physical activity. There is some very weak evidence that yoga _with_ physiotherapy might be more effective than just increased levels of physiotherapy.

Von der Leyen is president of the EU commission. Members of EU commission are appointed by each EU member head of state - who are all democratically elected. All EU countries should be democracies after all, although Hungary is certainly stretching this definition.

The president of the commission is appointed by the EU council (which is generally formed by the government of each member state), but has to be formally approved by the EU parliament.

If you are unhappy with how your countries' elected members of parliament (or how its head of state conducts your country position within the EU), you can vote to change it.

This includes decisions on which votes are by secret ballot.

If we were in a perfect world, I'd agree, but unfortunately that isn't the case. The cons here are far more prevalent than the pros, as photos and videos will lead to discrimination before the main part of what matters, the resumé, your experience and your actual knowledge, shines through.

There's a reason these things aren't standard in resumés (at least for jobs that don't have a focus on appearance).

Paleontologists Find Fish Fossils So Well Preserved Their Last Meals Are Intact
No. Divers lose much more heat through conduction than respiration. And the emergency reserve gas only lasted a few minutes so once that was exhausted he wasn't breathing at all.

A rebreather helps a little because the gas stays warmer but it isn't a huge factor. I've been using open circuit trimix for 20+ years in the cold waters off of California. It's fine as long as you have a separate tank for drysuit inflation. Divers may "feel" colder when breathing trimix but this is an illusion due to the reduction in gas narcosis: one of the effects of narcosis is to make you feel warmer even when you're hypothermic. Helium is an excellent thermal conductor but the heat capacity is actually lower than nitrogen so all else being equal you're not losing body heat any faster by breathing trimix.

There's lots of mythology in diving. Even a lot of technical diving instructors seem to be unclear on the basics.

It's also just app usage data NOT linked to identity, per their App Store page.

I was top-roping in a gym once, about 40 ft up, my belayer said “one sec” so I stopped and looked down, they had __unhooked__ their belay device, fucked with it for a bit, and reconnected it.

I downclimbed, not the route just whatever holds were easiest, and left. I’d known this person for a few months and was convinced they knew basic safety. I was always kind of anal about safety, with everyone, so it wasn’t a vibe I was giving off.

That was my last time on a rope. Strictly bouldering now.

Beyond Assistants: The Rise of True AI Agents
Feedback:

I'd really like to be able to some some sample profiles from users before I decide to sign up and commit to anything at all.

The problem with resume sites is that you only need them for a short period every X years in those months you're looking for a job. Then you never touch it again. The social features of Linkein, as awful as they are, keep users engaged and active regularly even while they are employed.

Lots of people pooping all over the video feature but I think it's a pretty decent idea. Especially for roles where spoken communication is a key requirement (community, DevRel, etc). I could see it having unintended consequences though. I suppose it is something you can change your mind about later and remove.
