Biggest thing hurting folks is RTO. Unless you live in a large metro, tech jobs are slim/none.

That has been undone now, though.

More and more I realize I am completely obvlious to all of the class signaling happening here. I couldn't imagine spending that much on anything, let alone a watch. And I certainly wouldn't think someone wearing that did, either.

I feel bad for the folks who pick up on stuff like this, that must be a heavy weight to bear constantly comparing yourself to other people.

Everything is out of stock for me. Also seeing weirdness where I can't see product details unless I add it to my cart.

I'm getting some kind of chrome security warning when using zscaler now. Discussing all of this with non-techies, I think folks are overwhelmed by all of the security warnings they get and have stopped paying attention to them.

So what's the point of doing all of this if there isn't some kind of corresponding education on responsible computer use? There needs to be some personal responsibility here, you can't protect people against everything.

Yea, I'm done hearing "the wheels of justice turn slowly..." bullshit. People have had their lives ruined, far quicker, for far less.

Colocating data and discounts. Cross cloud transfers are painful, and Google has a ton of on-cloud easy button integrations with Gemini and their data products.

There are direct ties from the administration to companies offering hedges against tariffs. There was absolutely an evil plan, IMO.

It's COVID PPP all over again... Expect more asset inflation.

I mean, they are? GCP usage/revenue is growing faster than AWS and Azure. Mostly driven by Gemini pushing folks onto the platform and them deciding "why not move everything else too".

The "time to market" folks finally have everything they could hope for, let's see all of that business value they claim is being missed due to pesky things like security, quality, and scalability checks.

They still can't do math.

How do you do on-device inference while preserving battery life?

> every type must have a default/zero value in Go

Hot take, maybe, but this is one of the few "mistakes" I see with Go. It makes adding QoL things like you mentioned difficult, requires shoehorning pointers to allow for an unset condition, some types don't have a safe default/zero value like maps, and makes comparisons (especially generic) overly complex.

AMP lives on, mostly as AMP for Email and used by things like Google Workspace for performing actions within an email body (allow listed javascript basically).

But we have OpenAPI at home

A brave new world for fraud and returns.

Also I just recently noticed Chrome now has a Klarna/BNPL thing as a built in payments option that I never asked for...

The irony of living in poverty and then owning a house that you list on Airbnb "for extra income". And deluding yourself into the key to financial success is being a bag holder for rich people, yikes.

This guy sounds like another "everything sucks but I got mine and everyone else should figure out how to get theirs". I get the struggle but I didn't really see him demonstrate empathy for others in his situation.

> They just need to put all of the engineers on HN out of work.

I think you've crossed the line from being an AI maxi to just rage baiting. This comment is a pointless anecdote at best, please take your terrible FOMO takes elsewhere.

I hate the nanny state behavior of docker build and not being allowed to modify files/data outside of the build container and cache, like having a NFS mount for sharing data in the build or copying files out of the build.

Let me have side effects, I'm a consenting adult and understand the consequences!!!

Kinda, for Q2 and Q3 you're expected to pay the full amount for the quarter about a month or so before it ends. So it's less the accounting method kinda and more I haven't been paid for a month that I already owe taxes for.

I'm SE and there are quite a few tax breaks available, especially if you structure as a S-Corp. The hard part is figuring out what all tax breaks are available as they're constantly changing, like last year you can deduct dental insurance premiums.

I still pay an eye watering amount, and being SE shows you the brutality of the system (estimated taxes are insane, especially the payment schedule for them when you're NET 30/60).

Join that startup as a founder, have a million+ exit and you will have the capability to do this as an individual.

What happens in rimworld, stays in rimworld?

AFAIK you can kinda "seek" reads in S3 using a range header, WCGW? =D

The specification for most systems _is the code_. English cannot describe business rules as succinctly as code, and most business rules end up being implied from a spec rather than directly specified, at least in my experience.

The thought of converting an app back into a spec document or list of feature requests seems crazy to me.

Idk why but I tend to shy away from non std libs that use unsafe (like xsync). I'm sure the code is fine, but I'd rather take the performance hit I guess.

What does prompting quality even mean, empirically? I feel like the LLM providers could/should provide prompt scoring as some kind of metric and provide hints to users on ways they can improve (possibly including ways the LLM is specifically trained to act for a given prompt).

If this could ever happen, there will be no point in GUI apps anymore, your AI assistant or what have you will just interact with everything on your behalf and/or present you with some kind of master interface for everything.

I don't see a bunch of small agents in the future, instead just one per device or user. Maybe there will be a fleeting moment for GUI/local apps to tie into some local, OS LLM library (or some kind of WebLLM spec) to leverage this local agent in your app.

Here's to hoping the IOU purchase orders for RAM and SSDs get cancelled... Though I think folks are hedging that this will happen and limiting new suppliers.
