Interesting question. I guess what makes us call something an AI is that it's an interactive recombination of a corpus of knowledge as opposed to a static one (such is the library). GPT-3 is far from sentient, that's for sure, but it's more interactive than any library.

People used the clouds to tell the future in the past, so there certainly was a value to reading them. Maybe GPT-3 is the next best thing to do the same, maybe it's more, time will tell.
Unless this is a new thing, I used to do video and audio calls on Discord on Firefox on Linux without issues. No app.
The COVID models of the car don't have the old sensors because they couldn't supply the parts. I'm not saying that's a good reason for disabling them on older versions of the car but that's what Tesla decided to do.

If I'm being honest, I don't understand their obsession with using only cameras for FSD. It needs to have high beams on just for lane assist on highways at night now, which seems absurd to me.
not the OP, but I ride my bike (indoors or outdoors, mostly indoors now because riding outdoors around here is dangerous, even for me), lift weights, read Reddit (my front page is super curated; mostly niche subs, none of the huge ones), go to breweries/bars/restaurants, find things to do in the city, code, and write on my blog.

i do think that TV is fine in moderation like everything else, but, like social media and video games, overconsumption is socially normalized. putting off work and keeping yourself healthy for shows or endless scrolling isn’t okay IMO.
I don't think people realize this because they aren't exposed to it. My sibling almost got bitten by our relative's dog because they got down in the dog's face and went to pet him. The dog lived roaming in an orchard and now lives in a fenced in yard, but isn't used to new people, especially people invading its space. It seems especially common among a group of friends who have pets they dote upon like children to assume all dogs are friendly unless told otherwise. But that isn't true everywhere and they aren't all so socialized. The previous set of dogs would leave in the morning, run through the ditches, find other dogs, then come back later. Occasionally it was a concern, but often they were free to roam.

> 14-15 alphonso or ataulfo mangoes

Alphonso and ataulfo are not the same thing, not even close except they are both mangoes.

Alphonso is a uniquely fragrant and flavorful variety from India which is very rare to find in the US but you should be able to find it canned in pulp form.

Ataulfo is an ordinary mango from Mexico that is available everywhere in CA, including in organic form at Costco.
Not only that, the state of Web app tooling as well, juggling raw HTML/CSS/JS to fake a desktop like UI.

"The environment forcibly meditates you."

I love this quote, and I've experienced it while backpacking through the desert and through mountains as well, almost complete loss of time and forgetting all the things I used to care about (like checking what is on the front page of HN, for example). Coming back to the city is a weird feeling of "time" returning, almost like a regaining of consciousness after being asleep, it's a strange sensation. But also returning to the city pushes that meditative awareness side of me back into the shadow.
I do know what TIPS are, I even own a bit. One problem is that there is a yearly cap to how much you can buy, and its 10,000$. For some people that is all they have, but for others with more assets, it will only be a small piece of the bucket.

Edit: TIPS and other treasury bonds are distinctly different.

I am not a programmer by trade, but I do build apps occasionally.

Dart is a relatively simple language and you'll get the hang of it quite quickly.

The widget-tree framework of flutter makes it easy for you to just have small amounts of code that all chain together, and it becomes easier to find your mistakes and grow your platform.

I recommend going for it if you have an interest.
Agree with that. However, in 2022 writing is not the only way to order your thoughts outside your head. I for example have put together Youtube videos without writing anything down. The process is like this:

- Think of a point I'd want to make, perhaps in 20-60 seconds.

- Do a few video takes until I believe it's good enough. Sometimes the first take works.

- Keep doing it until I have enough material, then edit the video.

As someone who is in his 50s though, I can understand the point of view of someone who grew up in an age in which writing was the obvious way. Paul might think differently if he tried to start a Youtube channel, but it doesn't seem to be interesting to him.

Are you referring to the `!==` and `=>` in their code being converted to what appears to be a single symbol?

Upon further inspection, it looks like the actual code on the page is `!==` and `=>` but the font ("Fira Code") seems to be somehow converting those sequences of characters into a single symbol, which is actually still the same number of characters but joined to appear as a single one. I had no idea fonts could do that.
Given how many ads there are that'd have to be a pretty substantial delay
All modern high-performance processors do multiple instructions per clock.
I haven't done it my entire life. When I was a kid, TVs didn't have mute buttons or remote controls.

Therefore, I got very good at mentally tuning ads out. I can watch an ad 100 times yet not be able to tell you what they said, what happened in it, or what product it's for.

Sometimes I mute now, but only when the ad is top 10% annoying. It's often easier to just tune out the ads than to remember to unmute.
I completely missed that command when looking through the docs. Thank you, and sorry for wasting your time! Great work on this plugin, it's amazing!

At the end of the day, the vehicle registration agency still needs to issue the license, so what's the benefit of a blockchain here? You do not need a blockchain to, say, cryptographically sign something such that it can be verified as a genuine item. And blockchain won't stop corrupt minting of licenses by the agency. And even if you did need a blockchain, the ledger wouldn't be public because the data on it is private. So now it's just a database with a ton of extra steps, complexity and kneecapped performance.

One approach is to build test traversal machinery out of function static variables and have every TEST() macro turn into a function that takes a pointer to some state controlling which test to run next.

You don't need malloc if using local variables either, which is helpful when your target doesn't have malloc or when debugging memory problems on targets that do. It's nice to know the test framework cannot be leaking or use-after-free anything.

I thought it was well known that free miles are a scam. You'll end up flying the same airline just to get more miles when if you just chose the best fare you'd save way more than what you earn in miles. Even if you don't chose by fare, you also end up limiting your options. You want to arrive at 5pm but the airline you've signed up for only arrives at 9pm but you talk yourself into it "for the miles" etc...
Nice article but who is "you" here? It's very difficult to define who is addicted. In the case of sugar addiction, it is the sugar loving microorganisms that live inside the body. It is not the conscious mind who is addicted. And these microorganisms can control the behavior of the host, that is, the body, like making you go to where sweets are sold without you knowing it. I don't know how but these organisms have direct access to the motor nerveous system and can do things and make decisions without (or before) conscious mind realizes it. So the way we become aware of the hot surface we touched accidentally only after we retract our arm, we become aware of some decisions only after executing them to satisfy the desires of the microorganisms, our symbionts. So I'm sure addiction is not a mind issue but a gut issue.
The 'people' part of economics has evolved into what is called behavioral economics. Traditional economics assumes that people will make the ration choice, but that can be a pretty limiting view of the world since people obviously are not always rational. I don't disagree that traditional models and assumptions are not that useful when applied to the real world.
I guess today is much easier to find new noteworthy, publishable facts in medicine than physics. New diseases are discovered every year, and old diseases are poorly understood (e.g Alzheimer disease), and the treatments for many of them are still sub-optimal, or even inexistent. Every patient is different, individual cases are research-worth. We only got antibiotics in the 1940s. On the other hand, most big breakthroughs of physics happened between the 17th century and the first decades of the 20th century. After the general case is cracked in physics, individual cases have very little publishing value.
> published on arxiv.org and open access

Don't use the term "open access" like this. A paper published on arXiv is free to read, and was freely published. "Open access" is a scam by the big publishers, where they don't take money from the readers, but make the authors pay. Or, putting it another way, anyone can pay their way in those journals and publish (sometimes sub par) papers.
They already limit the number of point-only seat sales and upgrades on most flights, my various United point schemes will get me "upgrade waitlisted" on flights with 20 empty seats left in first/business until sometimes the day of departure as they try to get cash payments instead. Maybe it's better if you're in the magical invite-only programs but even at 1K, their top regular-people loyalty tier (which is something like 15000 USD in flights each year) it's gotten pretty bad.

How many point-only seats they'll sell seems more variable but I've seen the rates jump from like 35k miles to 75k miles for the same seats for no apparent reason on flights.
So does that mean that vastly more people in medicine use sci-hub than do people from other fields?

Or is there some other reason for the discrepancy?
Oh again this obsession with e2ee!! Email can be e2e encrypted easily if you want it.

The fact is that you generally don't, because you want to access your mail from any device and you want a server-side search. All of this is made impossible by a proper e2ee.

Also, proper e2ee requires identity verification of your contacts, where you check their key fingerprints using an uncompromised channel. If you skip this part, all e2ee you use is just a security theater.

i’ve gotten scolded by my parents for not wanting to watch TV with them. my dad and siblings usually insisted on having the TV on while eating dinner, much to my mom’s frustration.

i remember one time specifically when my family was all watching “House” (super popular TV show on FOX back in 2004-ish?). I think I wanted to use my laptop or something; don’t remember. My parents got really mad at me, insisting that I watch with them. Ended up doing so, begrudgingly. I get why they did that (family time) but I didn’t like that our family time was spent in front of a screen.

> There are some situations where I come in contact with televisions today. They make me feel frustrated because they sap away my attention.

YES! I can hate watching TV and be angrily fixated on it when at a bar at the same time. My wife doesn’t get it lol

Shouldn't this problem solve itself? At some point, a question gets asked often enough that people realize they should document it somewhere, and lo and behold, Github issues are perfect for that.

Looking through my spam box for the ones I had to manually report it looks like maybe close to one a week, and they tend to be very similar, usually wrapped around a popular pharmacy store chain (no attachments). I also have noticed they tend to be sent from gmail.com addresses, which may suggest why they're not getting trapped by the spam filter.
You have to use google "site:" to have any chance at all. i don't know why reddit's search is so awful
Yes, same thing started happening here about two weeks ago. No idea if something has changed on Gmail side, like spam filter update, but reporting such messages as spam does nothing. I also fear that legit email messages containing important attachments from gmail.com domain might end up in spam after spam filter learns that "attachment = bad". Tried reporting few as phishing in hopes to get some attention, but that probably ain't doing anything at all.
Ask HN: Is alternativeto.net considered as a reliable source?
They've had a Virustotal report [0] for Cheat Engine pinned (Windows) without specifying that the reports seem related to the bundled installer adware — I'm not aware of any reputable malware reports, this is an open source project with bundled installer "offers".

Not really even a hypothesis.

Farmers select for traits that increase profit. Since most markets don't let customers actually taste the product, they aren't choosing to buy it on that quality, and no one in the commercial space is trying to optimize it.

Instead customers are buying fruit that LOOKS good - big, bright, colorful, blemish-free (survives transport without damage).

So farmers plant fruits that will look good, survive transport, and have large yields. Unfortunately optimizing those qualities tends to get you terribly bland tasting fruit.

Ironically - pre-industrial revolution, when most fruits were grown and consumed locally, it was the opposite - people tended to select for fruits that were good tasting.
The Resy Amex Gold and Platinum offers are really nice: https://resy.com/amex-offers . Same as the regular midgrade Amex offers (between $750 and $2500 worth of points, depending on card and what you value MR points at), but also, 10x points on restaurants on the Platinum for the first six months (up to $25k spend), and 20% back on restaurants on the Gold for the first year (up to $1250 spend).
I've been daily driving xonsh for a couple of years too. It _sounds_ like a terrible idea for reasons you can't quite put your finger on, but other than a minor annoyance every now and then, it's been great.

I mean, there was a while there where XMPP-based and federated chat clients (particularly google chat, along with early facebook messenger) were becoming dominant, and were widely used by "normal people" without even knowing it was a thing.

So I don't think "it's impossible to make a non-shitty federated client" is really a valid argument. That's not to dispute real problems with wide-open federation or XMPP, because they absolutely exist, just that "the clients are hard to use" seems more an artifact of the resources of the people making them than anything to do with technical merit.
For me the question is not so much "yet" as "maybe never", since some networks block UDP altogether, and HTTP/3 has a robust fallback mechanism.
Well it's explained by caving to specific lobbies. There's the we want farm subsidies agriculture lobby and the we want deregulation health care lobby.
I find it incredibly frustrating.

Some plants will die right away so at least it’s a fast failure.

But others will be ok for quite a while, several months or even a year or two. And then they’ll start yellowing, losing leaves, whatever, and eventually die.

Even plants that are supposedly hardy, like ivy.

I absolutely hate growing plants, and it actually makes me angry to see them fail. Even though I love an interior with plants, I’m actually feeling better if I never tried to have the plant than if I did and it inevitably dies.

Luckily, I live in nature and can open the windows instead, my surroundings being a forest.
> You're free to name a Github branch "master" if you want.

The time me and many other spent finding a solution is not "free", and is not the first time that has happened or will happen.

> Others are free to pick "main". Github's free to pick a default. People are free to infer what they like from your choice.

Until Microsoft and other Big Tech companies decide that they will promote projects and developers who do.Of course they are "free" to do so, but that goes against your argument that people are "free to choose".

> Over time, we figure out which one we, as a society, prefer.

Where did "society" or the git user communities were asked and heard if that was a good idea? The decision came from the bottom up and the discussions that were had were restricted to a few posts (because "we already had that discussion before, flagged/deleted) or were incredibly censored and one-sided with accusations of racism directed at people who were using their real names and work addresses.
Same for me, at least for one month. I remove all manually. Its time to drop Gmail and use something else.
