I'd wager very few people actually buy the miracle claims on the products. I think they instead just find it fun. I gave my SO a lot of crap before realizing that some people just find stewardship of an object enjoyable. There's a whole subculture related to it. The ownership, displaying, and usage _is_ the hobby.

An alternative is that bringing up this type of topic ends up sounding like some form of:

"Hey, you know all that stuff that stresses you out everyday? Well, regarding one of the less important ones, you are doing it totally wrong and I want you to correct yourself."

Even you are technically right, there is very little upside to bringing it up, especially out of nowhere. Assuming, of course, they aren't doing anything wildly dangerous.

I haven't used ocaml but I think something is possible with GADTs. Beside the example you have given shows C++ templating prowess and not its type system. In general I wouldn't call a type system that doesn't support ADTs expressive.
Look at it this way: if it really had the long lasting effects that the ads wants you to believe it has, then it would be a medicine and wouldn’t be sold OTC.

Because it barely does anything at all and certainly won’t change your skin overtime, it doesn’t need FDA approval, isn’t prescription only, and isn’t a medicine.

It’s all marketing that makes you think it’s medical, but they never say it. They just advertise it with white lab coats, sciency sounding weasel words, mathematical looking curves and graphs… but it’s just overpriced and over marketed cream. Your brain is tricked into connecting the dots and concluding it’s medicine but they’ll never say it outright because they can’t because it’s not.
I've experimented a bit with this on the raw Codex model (https://smitop.com/post/codex/), and I've found that some prompt engineering can be helpful: explicitly telling the model to generate secure code in the prompt sometimes helps. (such as by adding to the prompt something like "Here's a PHP script I wrote that follows security best practices"). Codex knows how to write more secure code, but without the right prompting it tends to write insecure code (because it was trained on a lot of bad code).

There isn't a single default value. Those parameters are chosen dynamically (on the client side): when doing more sampling with a higher top_p a higher temperature is used. I haven't tracked down where the top_p value is decided upon, but I think it depends on the context: I believe explicitly requesting an completion causes a higher top_p and a more capable model (earhart), which gives better but slower results than the completions you get as autocomplete (which are from the cushman model with a lower top_p). Copilot doesn't use any server-side magic, all the Copilot servers do is replace the GitHub authentication token with an OpenAI API key and forward the request to the OpenAI API.

What's the idea?

I think in general if you're honest with yourself, you have a decent chance of evaluating your idea's desirability. Go with the YC mantra of "Make something people want". If you are scratching your own itch, that could be a good way to start.

"Creators" are a fickle bunch so not always the best audience.
There is an argument that the ‘stay and tolerate the corruption for another generation’ strategy would eventually outlast native “Taliban” resistance - this is the path the U.S. was on, fairly explicitly since 2010 or so. In a realist framing, this is something that deserved more careful consideration before, and also now, in the aftermath.

Look at the outcomes for Karzai and Ghani as an indicator - I don’t know that ‘popular support’ is something to attribute to the Taliban but we ought to entertain the notion that the framing of Afghanistan for domestic consumption in the U.S. distorts a useful, realist analysis. How could we arrive at the current state of things if, outside of Kabul, the dynamics were as simple as painting a target on the Taliban?
One of my go-to examples in this domain is to look back at the career of the composer Steve Reich. Living in NYC, it wasn't so difficult for him to find performers to realize the (then radical) musical ideas he was experimenting with in the late 1960s and early 1970s. If Reich had been living in Smalltownsville, SomeState it could have been much, much more challenging (arguably close to impossible). So in this sense, the accessibility of contemporary digital audio workstation technology [0] makes it more feasible for anyone with musical ideas to explore them, and we should celebrate this.

However, the path that Reich did actually follow underscores the senses in which making music is so often a social activity, and there is no doubt based on interviews with Reich that having/choosing to work with other human musicians changed the evolution of his music. Not everyone likes his music, and of those who do, some might have preferred the direction it might have gone had Reich been an Ableton Live user. Nevertheless, I continue to believe that music as a social activity is critical to almost all good-to-great music, and that contemporary technology frequently undermines that.

[0] perhaps paradoxically, I am the author of just such a piece of technology.

> In my opinion, it's too complex and I'd prefer a more simple solution to get to market faster.

Some folks absolutely need to build their own video encoding pipeline for one reason or another--but the happy path's pretty well-established for folks who just Need Some Video, IMO. At Mux (full disclosure: I'm on the DevEx team there), getting up and running with video is one API call to CreateAsset, followed by a HTTP PUT if your video file isn't already accessible via HTTP somewhere. IMO, hard to be simpler than that.

AWS is expensive, but you're right in that it doesn't have to be. Measuring like-for-like is difficult, and per-minute rather than per-GB pricing tends to make more sense for most developers, but for 1080p content Mux is usually around half the price of AWS IVS. Which, having done this before at a previous job--if you want to stay in all-AWS land, is a way better call for your sanity than trying to hack it out yourself.
If you are a healthy person then you are low risk. If you are unhealthy (smoke, overweight, health condition) then you are at risk. I think a lot of people demanding the mandating of vaccines and mask wearing are in the smokers / overweight category and yet those people are never told to become healthy in themselves. People with health conditions have thought about illnesses long before covid. Thoughts?
I started watching Ian this year and have really enjoyed his reporting. I would like to learn more about how he learned this complicated industry… he’s so knowledgeable!
Are you saying he didn't know JS or just Webpack? If the latter there's no shame in that considering he knew a better alternative, ie. Vite. That's like chiding someone for not knowing jQuery when they're familiar with Webpack.
No, but on the other hand it doesn’t monomorphize generics and make the compiles dog slow and the binaries bloated :-)

There was a huge run on bikes in the US. I think a number of factors were involved. Because cycling in the US is mostly recreational, the bike business is seasonal, and retailers lay in their entire years stock for delivery in the springtime. If there's a big change in demand, it can take them a year to react.

Then those bikes didn't show up because of shipping delays.

Then there was a big spike in demand, as people realized a couple of things: 1) Cycling is an outdoor activity that seems like it carries a minimal COVID risk. 2) It's a way of getting to work if you're still working but public transit is shut down. These things, together, ramped up demand for both cheap and expensive bikes simultaneously.

Shops ran out of bikes, and then it became very hard to stay in business, even if there was still demand for repairs and parts.

Bike parts have always been a problem in the US. There's too much variety for any shop to be able to maintain a decent stock, so a lot of things have to be ordered. In my own case, since I ride older bikes, it's highly tempting to order stuff from Amazon or even (preferably) eBay because of the selection. Some stuff, such as Sturmey Archer hub parts, have to be sourced from overseas.

Ask HN: Google Advanced Protection program issues?
I figured you guys would use Google Advanced Protection for your own accounts, so I'd like to know if you are experiencing issues with one-time login codes for devices without WebAuthN support - here, no matter how many times I try to renew the code, it stays invalid, and has for months now. Haven't been able to get in touch with anyone at Google about it.
As a former kid (lol), I can't say having to wear a mask would have had any adverse effect on my school experience. It sucked anyways. I hated being there and hated wasting my life every day being shown material that was of zero benefit to me, and being treated like crap by people who don't even know me.

Honestly back then I would have felt the same thing that I do now: that I am happy to wear a mask so I and/or my parents/grandparents or other people around me don't die of a completely preventable virus, and that people who refuse to wear masks are idiots for not doing the most simple, effortless thing to help prevent the needless spread of the virus.

Wearing a mask doesn't steal anyone's childhood. Does wearing glasses steal your childhood? How about braces? We do A LOT of uncomfortable things in our life for our health and future. Wearing a mask is one of those things, due to the ongoing pandemic.

I mean, added bonus, I haven't had a single cold or flu or anything like that in over a year and a half. I'm guessing you (and anyone reading this) can probably say the same, if you strictly masked up, used hand sanitizer, etc. Yeah I've been sick for other reasons, but not a single time have I been sick from something transmitted by another person. First time in my decades of life that I've gone this long without any transmissible illness.

Truer words have never been spoken. It's a crying shame that "caveat emptor" has become so thoroughly ingrained in the tech scene. More and more, I see some gizmo that seems interesting, take a deeper look, and run away screaming when I find out what a crawling horror it really is.
Neither you nor the parent are paying attention to recent science. Natural immunity lasts longer than the current vaccines. And it’s likely the virus will escape the current vaccines over a long enough timeline. That’s not a problem if we can roll out new vaccines quickly enough to stay in front of new mutations. But that’s an if. This is the reason Fauci and others who understand the science are focusing on treatments.

It's a simple risk-reward calculation: the vaccine protects me from Covid-19. The chance of side effects is very low. The chance of severe, long-term complications that cause me more than $250K in damages is even lower.

Yeah, there's a tiny risk that I'll end up in a situation where I get screwed over, but I'm significantly more likely to suffer harm from Covid.

Your own calculations will vary, of course - this is just the math given my own risk factors.

jQuery still provides an objectively superior (more expressive, concise, and compatible) API for the dom. Yes, the cut an paste "you don't need jquery" solutions work 90% of the time. But jquery works 99.99% of the time and cover more of the gnarly edge cases that exist even on modern browsers.

I think that’s a tough one to rank as not all great food cities are going to be great at all kinds of food. I’m not familiar with Tokyo for example, but I suspect the Mexican food scene there isn’t as impressive as in LA?

Proximity to fresh seafood and fresh produce as well as the strong immigrant communities mentioned in the blog do generally combine to make LA an excellent place to eat though.
Depends on the details. If you are just doing a classic AST interpreter, no particular focus on speed, there's no need for unsafe code at all, especially if you do what Python does and just use refcounting, though I have not implemented a cycle detector personally...

So far we haven't had people report issues or complain about the app or its performance. We also test the app on laptops ranging from really low range and old laptops to the latest MacBook or Windows laptops and so far we haven't encountered any issues ourselves. Electron has been really useful since it allows us to build apps for different operating systems, hence we can support more users who are looking for a solution like ours.

While we do use the 'posenet' library, this is around 25% of what goes on in the app during a 'posture session' - we need to actually label the multitude of positions that users can be in and we also need to calculate the degree to which users are in those positions. Moreover, we also offer walk breaks, exercise breaks and (ergonomic) educational videos that are really popular among our users.

Thank you for your comment!
Biggest wind turbine shows the disproportionate power of scale
I didn't read it to say that, just that it is very hard to be a mechanic only shop - they also need to sell something else to be a profitable business.

In London there a few mechanics/coffee shops that stayed profitable that way.

If more people cycled I'm sure you would see more 'just mechanics' but in most places they can't afford to be that.
I found LA depressing on so many levels, everytime I've been there I can't wait to get home. I'd feel that cold mist on the Golden Gate bridge, and felt great immediately.

As a kid in high school, blonds (most are out of a bottle) were worshiped. I guess it was the beach Surfer thing? My cousin was so depressed because he looked ethnic. Women just wouldn't give him the time of day.

When he came to visit us in Norther California--he was a rock star. Women really liked him. I never saw him so happy.

It's weird how certain places are just different on so many levels.

(best Mexican food there is though.)

It's not the society that we need to worry about. In the beginning a good chunk of society was ringing alarms to close borders, but the economy was too important to protect.
> And as a Libertarian myself, I know quite a few.

Yes, but obviously that's not a representative sample. My point was that the population of genuine libertarians for whom this seems like a first principles argument is dwarfed by the general population of Q-adjacent social conservatives who are happy to adopt libertarian framing but really just want the government to do what they want.

Dislike for cgo, is similar to the old JNI displeasure, nowadays plenty of Java libraries don't have any issues making use of JNI.

The only issue I see with cgo is that they decided to follow such path instead of a proper FFI declaration support like most languages.

Even Java is now having such capability thanks Project Panama.
Why? I mean, what benefit does gil-lessness provide now that there is asynchronicity all over the place? Preemptive multithreading is a giant and endless source of bugs and most of the time you can just use some faster language if speed is truly what you need.

Note that the CCP is again restricting domestic flights because of delta, yet sending flights to the US.

Mill two halves, then screw them together with the electronics inside?

The way I made propellers - with a craft knife, cut the wafer thin sheets sold by model airplane stores with successive concentric overlapping ovals for each 1mm height of the enclosure. Glue them all together and sand it down smooth.
IMO, the answer is pretty clear here. Use Arrow with some form of compression. Most of the other options the Julia ecosystem offers are just in case you don't have the luxury of controlling your data format (ie because you are reading data from someone else).

Also, did you look at using ZSTD? In my experience, it provides a really good compression, and is pretty fast also.
They face more turbulence and greater stresses, and less efficient combined with being more expensive from the start.

Efficiency in price per kwH is more important and big turbines have claimed their crown here. Given that stresses are behind size limits the strategy is clear here.
We already have a solution: WebAuthn.

Almost every phone and laptop today supports it, and you can optionally have a backup in the form of a $10 keychain device or 24 words written on paper.

This does mean people will be best off to keep at least one backup safe with other things they can't afford to lose like their SSN card and drivers license.

Once WebAuthn is setup then day to day as long as a person has not lost -all- their devices, then remote identity verification can be fast tracked.

If they have lost all their devices it would be like if they lost all citizenship paperwork and will be a longer, generally in person, process involving reference verification and a waiting period.

"Bicycles are not toys. "

Yes and no. I think what most people think of when they think bicycle is the throw away kind that you buy at you local big box retailer or sporting goods store.

It’s definitely insane, but you came into this part of the field when it was still fairly young.

13 years is a long time for technologies to build on top of each other, and while more things are possible now than ever, a trade off of that is that complexity is higher than ever, too.

Also, the boring middle road doesn’t get the press. No one is writing stories about all the little apps and services chugging along with their solid rails or laravel or whatever backends, serving basic html or API requests all day.

U.S. foreign policy stated from the outset in 2001 that we would follow terrorists where ever they are, no matter the country. Hunt them down and kill them. That's what we said about terrorists generally and Taliban specifically.

We departed from U.N. Charter article 51 twice, and also disregarded the determination of Nuremberg. The nation is complicit, Bush was reelected subsequent to his foreign policy assertions and actions. There's been no serious consideration to hold him or the U.S. accountable. That makes it tacitly permitted.

Killing all Taliban would not be genocide. It would be consistent with long standing U.S. foreign policy. It's a religious sect, not a group of ethnic or nationals.
