This is amazing, I just wish I could pause the game and have them play step by step

I'd expect even more chaos, let an LLM build the features and people vote.

This is a big one for SpaceX. They have had a couple of faillures on Starship on their previous launches.

Thanks Andrej. I have a pretty good understanding of how LLMs work and how they are trained, but alot of my friends don't. These videos/talks give them 'some' idea.

Its not for a lack of trying. I spend a lot of time writing text that feel like I actually read the ad. I try to include details, show examples for the things I think are relevant and have others give their opinion on what I should improve or rephrase.

Ask HN: For 6 months: No calls, no invitation, no reaction. What is happening?

Dinux — Fri, 24 Jan 2025 14:51:34 +0000

6 months ago my project was cancelled and the startup I was working for was going to reconsider its position. In the meantime everyone was sent home “awaiting further information”. Initially I didn’t think much of it. Surely as a full stack developer, I will find something else in no-time. Now, a little over 6 months I got invited twice to an interview, and that's it.

This isn't about not finding a job or not getting invited, it's about the lack of response. Anywhere. I apply for about 10 to 15 jobs aday, and I rarely get a response. I apply for freelance jobs and I almost never get a reply. I spend about 1.5 hours per day on different dating apps, and I almost never get a reply after a match. Whenever I find bugs or issues in open source projects, I try my best to submit bug reports or PR requests. More often than not I do not get any reaction. I sent over 150 bug reports to the Unreal Engine project, including stack traces and example code, and I have yet to receive the first reply. I posted my little resume on “HN: Who’s for hire” and I only receive mass target spam messages from what I assume are bots. In fact, almost all emails I get are untargeted, clearly sent by bots or automated scripts.

Just a couple of days ago, I got an email from a startup expressing their interest in my resume. After mailing back and forth a couple of times the conversation suddenly ended. No reaction. No reply to my last email. I asked them if they were still interested but never got anything back.

I submitted a loan application to one of the world's largest banks and received no response by phone, email, or text. I can cite another 50 examples...

I asked people around me if they have been experiencing the same lack of interaction. Most of them seem to recognize the problem, but aren’t really bothered by it. I have no idea what to think of all this...

Congrats! Do you have any idea what to do next?

I don't see anything about source available, git repository links or opensource licensing. Why would I switch from a free and opensource IDE to a closed source IDE offering no benefits?

It's a first step. The larger point here is awareness.

I cant wait to switch to something like Zed. VS Code can take up half of my memory and keeps crashing after updates. How much language support is there for Go?

New comment by Dinux in "Cross-platform Rust rewrite of the GNU coreutils"

Dinux — Wed, 03 Jan 2024 10:14:04 +0000

We have switched to Rust about 4 years back for most of our robotics and embedded control systems. I has been a blessing to move away from C/C++ after 10 years. Sure Rust has its problems and issues, especially when it comes to async and concurrency. Yes it has a steep learning curve, yes the compiler gets in the way often but the number of _actual_ bugs (not design flaws) is probably less than 10 over 4 years. Every time I work on a C/C++ i'm painfully reminded how easy it is to shoot yourself in the foot. I hope coreutils and Rust in the kernel will eventually become the default

Sofar I've owned 4 Tesla cars and never had any serious issues that were not addressed immediately. My current Model Y had a cracked roof, they replaced the glass within a couple or hours. Here in The Netherlands inspections are mandatory for all cars every 1/2 years. I've noticed the tires may not be as durable as they should be but no idea how they stack up against another EV.

Anything you use and use a lot needs maintenance, especially if you rely on it, that goes for you're electric toothbrush as wel as your car. Its a utopica to think EVs somehow need less upkeep.

Sure build quality can be improved here and there, and over the last 4 years I have seen Tesla's cars become better. To me regular OTA updates, up-to-date map, apps, an actual working charging network and range are more important than having all the panels aligned withing a couple of milimeters.
