The first trade to regulate itself did not use a guild. For example, have you heard of the Hippocratic oath? It’s still required in the USA and includes quite a few interesting tidbits that wouldn’t get past a modern ethicist.

I swear by Apollo Healer, by Asclepius, by Hygieia, by Panacea, and by all the gods and goddesses, making them my witnesses, that I will carry out, according to my ability and judgment, this oath and this indenture.

To hold my teacher in this art equal to my own parents; to make him partner in my livelihood; when he is in need of money to share mine with him; to consider his family as my own brothers, and to teach them this art, if they want to learn it, without fee or indenture; to impart precept, oral instruction, and all other instruction to my own sons, the sons of my teacher, and to indentured pupils who have taken the Healer’s oath, but to nobody else.

I will use those dietary regimens which will benefit my patients according to my greatest ability and judgment, and I will do no harm or injustice to them.[7] Neither will I administer a poison to anybody when asked to do so, nor will I suggest such a course. Similarly I will not give to a woman a pessary to cause abortion. But I will keep pure and holy both my life and my art. I will not use the knife, not even, verily, on sufferers from stone, but I will give place to such as are craftsmen therein.

Into whatsoever houses I enter, I will enter to help the sick, and I will abstain from all intentional wrong-doing and harm, especially from abusing the bodies of man or woman, bond or free. And whatsoever I shall see or hear in the course of my profession, as well as outside my profession in my intercourse with men, if it be what should not be published abroad, I will never divulge, holding such things to be holy secrets.

Now if I carry out this oath, and break it not, may I gain for ever reputation among all men for my life and for my art; but if I break it and forswear myself, may the opposite befall me.[6] – Translation by W.H.S. Jones.
For me the sweating would make this prohibitive in most case
This. I also had a M.Sc. student work at my company, a brilliant guy from China, he deserved the best Ph.D. Which in my opinion is with a Professor that made his mark, has a secure position (so he is not still in his publish or perish period), enjoys what he does and cares about his Ph.D. students' development. His parents didn't agree, they wanted him to go to the most prestigious lab he could get into. Probably to be worked like a measurement slave for 4 years + the inevitable extension.

I told him to beware, talk to other students and try to gauge the atmosphere in the lab. If you're smart and motivated you'll make it. But will you have fun and be happy? What do you want out of life?

I have friend that made "Associate Professor" at an impressive age. He does make 80 hour weeks and travels 50% of his time. It can be fun and it is an adventure, but is it what you want? This life is pretty incompatible with having a family for example.

Beware of the fact that your parents may define success very differently from you.
He and Scott Forstall were also the ones who fought for side loading in the initial iPhone. And was also aware of the business consequences, App Store was there to help selling more iPhone. It is now a rent seeking machine with absolute power over many trenches of our society and economy.

I also think people often mistaken some of those design choices as anti user freedom. Where the results of those decision might seems that way, the starting point were different. Things like integrated hardware design.

Steve was an empathic and also a hash person. People often seems to read everything as if he was an asshole and very little about his empathic side of stories.
'Common folk' engaging in day trading are signing themselves up to be milked, regardless of which exchange they use. If you're one of those common folk, my best advice for you is to stop.

If you want to invest, buy an index fund. If you want to gamble, go to a casino.

If you want to gamble, while fooling yourself that you're investing, day-trade options, preferably in a meme stock.
JSON is a good example of a good enough idea that came at the right time. It took good points of XML, removed the pain points of XML, and got a layer of C-syntax coating so it managed to ride the javascript hype. And it is good enough. But e.g. no real thought about dates is a pain point that keeps hurting. I would grade it better than average but not really good.

> What would be the added value of an average and aspiring chess player like me to play against Stockfish 14 instead of one of he previous versions? I feel I'll never challenge the maximum capacity of such an engine.

I do not see chess engines as good sparring partners, but rather as tools for effective chess exploration.

The nice thing about these newer engines is that they are starting to be useful tools to explore more sacrificial and unbalanced positions which are really fun to get over the board against humans.

Finding these ideas with the help of a computer gives a competitive edge against other humans, as well as helping discover interesting corners in this vast game.
Might be because it's hard to reverse such a process if needed?

Self-employment won't fix your issue.

I am also an introvert and suffer the same problem. I dread meetings, 'hard discussions' or humans in general. I'd rather be doing a task or researching about a subject alone.

What might be helpful is to find a company that allows you to have very little of what you hate(group meetings, arguments...), but a lot of the things you enjoy(working from home).

I don't know how old, or in debt you are. But if you have comfortable financial conditions, find a company/work you would like to work for. Life is too short for us to waste it chasing a certain salary or certain successes. Just look around at HN, there is a lot of salary chasers here and how unhappy and dissatisfied they are. Life can be much more than that, but only you can fix it.

It has to be you that makes that decision, to support that lifestyle and that looks for it. If you don't take charge of your own life, somebody will. They will set goals you don't want, tell you to buy things you don't need and there it goes. It is a waste.
> It's benefit for the company, not for the user.

Yes. Absolutely 100% agree. What I'm arguing is: if you are ready to annoy a tiny fraction of your users, you will get away with a simpler validation, that is better FOR YOU AS A COMPANY, because it has some benefits ranging from shady to just half-shady. This is why companies do this. Not just a small share of them, and not only because developers didn't understand the RFC.

I'm not arguing this is in any way good for end users. I'm saying it can be a good idea despite being horrible towards some users.

You keep arguing from the users' perspective when I'm saying "This is being an asshat to users, but it's worth it." The argument "That's bad for users!" isn't a counterargument to that
The danger is that CoPilot becomes "AutoPilot", because as the author points out, you get used to it way too quickly.

Searching the web still implies extra effort on your side and (hopefully) some scepticism towards the code you find (SO comments, etc.)
Convenient for whom? If the implication is that they were trying to manipulate the market, I agree they should be in trouble, I just don’t think that’s the case.

I’d note that the other choice they could have made — blocking selling when it was not necessary — would also have the appearance of market manipulation (in the other direction).
It’s been 25 years since I was last into surround sound.

What feels amazing and also slightly weird is that some of these surround sound receivers haven’t changed at all in aesthetic since the 90s.

I know there are probably technical reasons for it, but it seems odd that while we have waved goodbye to CRTs, VHS, and 10BaseT, the shape of these Denon receivers looks largely unchanged.

They still have the parade of Dolby etc logos across the top, and it looks like the main display is still a light blue plasma dot matrix?
Exactly This. Why can people NOT see this?!
you could do it for about $2300 by shucking external hard drives. I picked up a couple 10TB WD drives last year for $210 each for my NAS.
I run every other day for longer distances (10k or so) and imagine that the benefits of running for 10k are greater than 5k twice.

You can also ask “Why?” about this assumption.
Because these JPMorgans of the world don't want the Govt to step in to the market and regulate it. This is group of brokerages and they want to be free.

Nice write up, the 'it's not gradient descent due to rewards adaptiveness' I don't understand, most usages of GD are non vanilla and adaptive.
I've been running about 3-4 km every day for approx. the last month and i do have a few thoughts:

- the first 2 or 3 times when i started out were the hardest, especially because everything hurt afterwards
- i haven't started liking it and probably won't in the near future, however it has gotten more and more tolerable as time has passed
- keeping track of myself with something like a smart armband and Mi Fit app with GPS has been useful, as far as discipline is concerned (with obvious privacy pitfalls)
- progress in regards to increasing the distance of my runs without feeling worn out has been very gradual, yet still there
- it feels like pace matters a bit more than distance when it comes to how exhausting it is
- i probably really should get better running shoes, though running on a gravel road and in private has made it more tolerable
- the health benefits are probably worth it in the long run, which is also why i walk at least 8000 steps every day in total (including the running, which makes up close to half of that)
i think this is pointless.

do whatever you want, you aren't a robot that could understand 'oh wow, i spend a lot of time watching youtube! I should study instead'

nobody would follow/pay for this, people know when they are procrastinating and wasting time
I think parent meant "not doing it again" with "nothing at all".

It’s the same way I managed to start exercising, with extremely low-effort, easy and short exercises. I now do app-selected exercises that challenge me, but I never before was able to stick to those, doing "too easy" exercises was what helped me manage to actually get into a routine.

Except that Chinese companies list in the US all the time without being penalized by the government, and conversely the list of companies who were called out for illegal data collection includes plenty that are listed in China or haven't IPO'd. Didi is definitely the most high-profile case so far where the app was suspended, though.
That's an advice to help people that's not into running. Consistency is much better to help people stick with a habit than trying to push themselves to the limit.
I'd say the most effective way for me to scrub a lot of CO2 out of the air is to burn a lot of fossil fuels, and then scrub 80-90% of it (or however efficient scrubbers are). Seems like the wrong incentive?

Sure, sure. But the hard truth is that I’m not getting paid to do so.
For instance, one Robinhood customer who had turned margin “off,” tragically took his own life in June 2020. In a note found after his death, he expressed confusion as to how he could have used margin to purchase securities because, he believed, he had not “turned on” margin in his account. As noted in the settlement, Robinhood also displayed to this individual (and certain other customers) inaccurate negative cash balances. Additionally, due to Robinhood’s misstatements, thousands of other customers suffered more than $7 million in total losses. As part of this settlement, Robinhood is required to pay more than $7 million in restitution to these customers.

GitHub Copilot is going to end up being the Google Glass of developer tools.
In Slovakia, if you live in an apartment building you can usually get up to 1Gbps/100Mbps FTTx or DOCSIS for around 30€, with some providers limiting upload to only 5% of download (so e.g. 1000/50). Some local providers might offer symmetric, but that's an exception. Most people are probably on cheaper plans in the 200-300Mbit download range for ~15€.

If you live in a detached house though, your only option is usually xDSL where you're lucky to get 15/1Mbit for ~20€ if you live "further from the post office".

Fixed wireless (LTE) usually offers better speeds if it's not oversubscribed in your area (40/40Mbit) but is not available everywhere, is more expensive and includes data caps.

Fiber to individual houses is mostly possible only in new developments, as you can't run new wiring on poles in Slovakia, only in the ground, so no ISP bothers to upgrade older houses.
Static analysis tools can really be very useful, and they can detect potential errors. But there are always boundary cases. Some rules simply state "Don't do this", which might be a wise rule in general but frequently there are cases where the developer knows the general rule but decides that it does not apply in this particular case.
Realising that running doesn’t have to be suffering helps. I’m so glad this whole Navy Seal 5am club idiocy has mostly died out.
Google Fiber is still expanding? I thought they stopped a few years back.
They said "many people reading this" and HN's biggest audience is US tech workers. It wouldn't be ignorant to say that many US tech workers can afford that.
Using resources to build a solar panel that only generates electricity to feed into a bitcoin mine that basically turns that solar energy straight back into heat is a net energy negative. The only conceivable benefit is increased economies of scale for the production of solar panels.

A norm (meaning a definition of "length") where the length of a vector is defined as the largest absolute value of any of its components. Its one of the standard lp norms, you get a norm for every p in the closed interval [1,infinity]. The standard Euclidian norm is the case p=2.

There are at least two aspects of cloud:

1. The developer experience. This is crucial, developers want programmable things, everywhere. You can reap the benefits of automation.

2. Vendor lock in and platform power. There are three large players today and they add bit and pieces all the time; leading to vendor lock in. The cloud is even for mid-size projects much more expensive than raw hosting or owning the hardware.

Today, I would treat cloud as an expensive, but useful starter - to get you going, to try things out quickly. I would not bet my business on it, especially not, if I were a large company.

Ergo: Building everything in a "cloud native" mode restricts you where you can go from day one. Not good.

That's TeX for "l" with subscript infinity. It's a vector norm, and is equal to the element of the vector with maximal absolute value. It's also called the max-norm and sup-norm (for the infinite dimensional generalization, e.g., where the vector becomes a real-valued function of a single real variable).
I'm sorry but I don't see how any of that actually solves the underlying problem of granting a third-party access to data you don't want to see abused.

In this case, unless shown otherwise, the assumption should be that the program is copying parts of itself to the output. Whatever the program is generating is likely to carry pieces which are a part of the program ... unless it is evident that the code being output is generated entirely from a separate part which is not under GPL.

The situation for Github Copilot [1] may be different where each output by it may be argued to be novel, however, even there the answer is not fully settled [2].

GitHub Copilot is a code synthesizer, not a search engine: the vast majority of the code that it suggests is uniquely generated and has never been seen before.
