Thank you for that context.

I once pointed out to Wells Fargo risk management that the extreme fear, uncertainty, and doubt regarding the presence and - God forbid - charging of electric vehicles in their garages is misplaced.

Think of it: gasoline is both extremely prone to evaporation, and its vapor is explosive. It’s kept in single-walled steel and aluminum sheet metal containers mounted to vehicle undersides that are exposed to every insult imaginable, from flying debris to road salt, in ten+ gallon volumes. These containers are inspected yearly at best, and even then, only in the most perfunctory manner. Best-practice and long-known techniques for early identification of metal fatigue and corrosive failure standard to other industries for far milder threats are simply not applied. Yet, a single leaking container in an enclosed space could lead to catastrophic detonation and boiling liquid exploding vapor (BLEVE) explosions in any adjacent containers. And there are many adjacent containers in these “parking garages”. Hundreds, even thousands of them!!

Is Wells Fargo in the business of constructing massive time-bombs?! Because, gentlemen, that is certainly what we have on our hands, in the shape of these so-called “parking garages”.

If “risk management” is to mean anything at all, it must address this clear and present danger.

As a first measure, explosive-laden transports must be excluded from enclosed parking structures. You want to bring literally a hundred pounds of liquid fire into the garage, because why?

I’ll tell you why: because you’re not thinking like a risk manager!

They recognized the truth of it and the only thing to do was laugh.
Ask HN: Serious mathematics books that can replace a good teacher?
Mathematics is best learned under the guidance of a mentor. But not everyone has access to mentors all the time. That's where books come in. Good books. Books that can be substitute for a mentor or sometimes even better.

Which books (preferably not pop-sci) fall into this category?
What's it actually do? "Run all the same services as your production stack, isolated but directly on your Mac. No Docker, no virtual machines, no hassles" is vague AF.
Maybe it is just me, after skimming through the website, I thought "support" is to support the developer only to find out it is a documentation page.
How has your experience been with DuckDB in production? It is a relatively new project. How is it’s reliability?

There’s a TED talk from 2017 about this app: https://www.ted.com/talks/ray_dalio_how_to_build_a_company_w...

This is presented by Ray Dalio the founder of Bridgewater Associates - that’s the hedge fund that created this app for themselves.
> because of the halting problem

Correct me if I’m wrong, but aren’t types so-called “trivial properties “, on which Rice’s theorem doesn’t hold (and my thinking is that thus neither does the halting problem?). Though this perhaps depends on the type system in question (with dependent types being obvious counter-examples).
I want to own the code, own the software, own the tools (IDE, compiler etc) and also be the only one who controls them.

And I want to also develop fast, not wait for some goddamn web app. And no, I don't need to code on my phone or tablet while travelling to Bahamas.
I'm glad Docker works so well for you as the premise is awesome. You're on a Mac right? It's just that you having a bespoke run.sh, and "mounting directories" makes me think Linux, where yes, Docker would be excellent for development.

However, assuming you are on Mac, I'm curious what kind of development you do? It seems hard these days to avoid stuff like `composer update` or `npm update` or to compile SASS or to bundle JS and as soon as you do any of those things, with Docker you start to get a syncing feeling. Sorry, shouldn't try to be funny this late in the day... :)

Oh also, when I run Docker for Mac I often get random 100% CPU usage for no reason at all, with no containers running, causing all my fans to spin up to full. I also periodically find I've run out of SSD space because docker has used it all up with qcows or something. And anytime I had to make a config change in one of my images I had to jump through flaming hoops to get it to take effect in the container. Not because of Docker per-se but because I wanted to write PHP or Javascript, not learn how to sysadmin Docker.
damn, is he not dead yet?
This is impressively small amount of EV fires.
My European experience says that even relatively small countries the size of Mississippi themselves have a fair share of folks kvetching that the richer parts subsidize the poorer parts. Few places are small or homogeneous enough not to experience that. A continent-wide country like the US can hardly escape the same.

It is even worse if there is an ethnic difference in the mix (e.g. the Flemish vs. the Walloons in Belgium).

Also, I wonder whether New York / California liberals would really welcome soldiers among them and whether the military could recruit enough people there. Amazon got kicked out from New York for being too capitalist.

It definitely seems to me that the coastal elite wants a strong military to protect their trade empire, but preferrably located far away and with someone else's kids doing the dangerous parts of the job.
I think we're currently witnessing something truly unique with the rise of AI, something which is as special as life being born on earth.

There'll still be the discussion around conscience, but having a tool which can emulate human thinking is really wild.

The next 5 years will be really interesting. Also to see how this will be absorbed by society.
Is there a tool to generate subtitles locally?
Eventually the only jobs humans will have is training AI to act human. Sounds very Philip K Dick now that I think about it.
The ironic thing is that James Damore was fired from Google for publishing a milquetoast memo on gender distribution in tech, yet the convicted felon (and registered level 2 sex offender) is being protected from "discrimination".

I'm not saying that the ex-felon should be rejected, but it's absurd that people and institutions had so much vitriol against Damore for his memo, yet are just ignoring the ex-felon.
Thanks for your kind feedback. I'm lucky enough to be married to an awesome designer/illustrator who drew them by hand :)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doof

In my experience in New Zealand, a doof is a private party in a rural location that you need an invite to or contacts, usually with music DJs and drugs involved. I wouldn’t call large festivals Doofs, as the Wikipedia article does, although perhaps the word has been co-opted by larger events, or has a different meaning from the little I have used the word. I would guess the word derives from doof doof music, named after a heavy bassline sound.

Rhymes with boofhead, or poofter, or woof in NZ (sorry, I couldn’t think of better words with the correct sound, Aussie & NZ English have some unique vowels, and English dialects have wayyyy too many different vowel sounds to easily cross reference). Someone says doof in this Aussie vid, which has the right atmosphere to me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iavVc_23-NM
Is the straight line caveat because the dish tries to predict motion by extrapolation?

I always like how Teslas are apparently so ahead of every other car, but yet, when something goes wrong with them, statistical gymnastics are pulled to say they're no worse that combustion cars, as can be seen in this thread. So which is it?

In my opinion, Teslas are low quality, maintenance nightmares and even look dated. I've been seeing Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6 cars on the road in the past month, and they're jaw dropping when driving by. And a look into their features and functionality shows high quality and well thought out interior designs that don't use coolness factor as their only design constraint.
I believe they mean something like “Oftentimes, X happens, and I end up with a barren patch…”
"I am purposely choosing to give up that right and instead contribute it via taxes to my country because I believe in its people to vote intelligently and the elected politicians to act in the best interests of those people."

I might sound cynic, but personally I could only held up that belief, if I never open my eyes again and never open any newspaper anymore, or turn on the tv. Usually I read sentences like this in satire articles, but I think I understand the motivation behind it.
Sometimes you have to give trust first, to make something work.
I am just very sceptical in this case.
I'm pretty sure that's Netflix.
Thanks for the reference, I did not follow that particular debacle.

But I'm not convinced this couldn't happen at a faculty. "part of your job is PR" (i.e. fishing for grants) and "they can kill it" (i.e. funding dried up and focus changes) apply there as well...
Can you say it in plain English? Not all of us understand the jargon and the medical, technical and scientific aspects.
In my melody generation system I'm already including melodies that I've judged as "good" (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLoCzMRqh5SkFwkumE578Y...) in the updated training set. Since the number of catchy melodies that have been created by humans is much, much lower than the number of pretty images, it makes a significant difference. But I'd expect that including AI-generated images without human quality judgement scores in the training set won't be any better than other augmentation techniques.
I remember a thread a while ago on here, where the top reply was something along the lines of: "Every person is responsible for a handful documentation topics/threads/articles and whenever someone uses the documentation and finds that it's aged, they ping the person in charge of the article and their task is to either renew it or find out a solution to renew it."

That isn't exactly the answer to your question, but I believe it is a very good idea to live by.

As for my personal experience, we just ping a Slack channel whenever an article is old and has to be renewed. But we also don't have a very big company, which means not a lot of documentation articles to monitor.
Alot of celebrities loves to gamble / addict to gamble. The most powerful one among them is no other than Drake!

Drake, who recently lost over US$230,000 when he bet that Formula 1 driver Charles Leclerc would win the Spanish Grand Prix. “First F1 bet, let’s see how it goes,” the Canadian rapper had shared to his Instagram Story, revealing he bet CAD$300,000 with cryptocurrency at <a href="https://nsk8.co/casino" target="_blank">live casino malaysia betting platform</a> , Stake. Well, it didn't go too well.
I blame it on the surprisingly structural cleverness of a bicycle. Opposing triangles probably isn’t the first thing most people think of when they think of a bicycle (vs two wheels and some handlebars)
Thanks for your feedback. I'm eager for it to actually support the developer, as you'd thought it would. Can you describe more what you'd hoped to see there?
Right, but what if that was the second breaking change you made? To figure out whether that's the case, i.e. whether you need to bump the major version or not, you'll have to check out the last released version.
From the purely legal academic standpoint there is the concept of proportionate sentencing. If abusing and killing children gets the same sentence as abusing them, criminals will be incentivised to kill as well since there is no downside.
I guess the Russians knew that both Mariupol and Odessa would be assaulted by Russians one day, better build a defensive installation underground in both cities.
Do you have a blog post or something similar where you go into more details on this architecture? I’d be very interested in reading it!
Cause an OS update has never broken docker before right. And prod doesnt run linux with a gui.
> “Whenever there’s a failure or a catastrophe in crypto, the fear is always that someone will misread the situation and overcorrect in a position that’s not helpful for the entire community writ large,”

This statement is all kinds of amazing:

* Casual use of the phrase "whenever there's a catastrophe in crypto", since there really is one every few days

* "Misread the situation and overcorrect" --> read: taking their money out of the casino and turning it back into filthy fiat

* "Not helpful for the entire community" --> read: taking money out of shitcoin X damages the valuations of all other shitcoins, so the owner of one random blockchain would very much prefer that you didn't do that
They infect the cancer cells with a virus. The virus causes the cells to create a protein that has already shown to be a good target (PD-L1). Seeing the high levels of protein, the patients immune system should trigger cell death (apoptosis).
Been dreaming about this for years, but sailing is so involved that I don't think it's really possible to have enough focus.
You mean you used prefect to fetch nodes "system parameters/config" ?

Interesting use case, I use prefect for data pipelines, never thought about that kind of use case.
The most concerning thing to me about Tether is they appear to own Chinese corporate debt for some unknown reason. Isn't that an insane amount of risk?

In what universe is Chinese corporate debt even remotely liquid? It could be invested in Evergrande-adjacent companies for all we know. And you know when push comes to shove the Chinese government will throw foreign investors under the bus first.
I'm actually somewhat glad I got "baited" into watching it. I don't think I would have been as likely to watch it had it included toolchain.
As I see it: people spend lots of time (collectively) when it comes to setting up new environment. Whether you're new developer who just came to the project, whether you're asked to help on another project, whether you need to fix a bug in some old project. I can spend hour setting up project and then 1 minute delivering a fix. Usually I just use notepad to edit source files and then cmd to build and test, but that's not very good environment and many developers are not proficient enough to work with notepad and cmd.

So web IDE definitely have its uses. I think that it's not ready for most projects, because Intellij provides vastly superior experience for almost all languages, but still I believe that VScode is the future and it'll surpass Idea at some day, because it's more open source.

Also, I hope, that all those remote workflows will be replicated with local setups. I don't see any reason not to other than locking user into your website. I mean VScode works locally, docker works locally, git works locally.

It wasn't me who wrote the long rebuttal. I watched this video months back and noticed the same thing I'm sure you did. I ended up finding this rebuttal to it way back then and because of how often a certain segment of the population who is adequately described as "misinformed and full of hate" has this guy as their 'source' for various conspiracies I tend to remember the debunking.
As someone with rural/countryside roots, I recall similar advice on physical labor: it is best to work at a steady, consistent pace all day long without getting sweaty or breathless. You'll avoid (or postpone) dehydration, remain more alert and calm, and thus it is much easier to switch tasks immediately.

As a tree planter of several seasons, I've realized that this advice works remarkably well. Pushing yourself, sweating, drinking stimulating beverages instead of plain water etc seems to give you an edge while planting, but it's kind of deceptive in the long run IMO. Steady, moderately paced, but consistent, non-stop work is more effective in the grand total.

Then again, all this might come down to whether one is a "long distance runner" or a "sprinter" by personality and bodily characteristics. I guess I'm somewhere in between, but, approaching 40, these "100 meters in 9.2 seconds" daily life dashes are somehow starting to lose their appeal. Howdy, middle age!

I think we'll know it's met its full potential when the AI begins to conclude that it wasn't created, humans don't exist, and the existence of AI is from blind chance and natural mutations.
If the kid in the story had speculated about his attack it would be an opinion. His attack demonstrates that it is fact. Contrast this with your opinion that the courts will decide his actions were illegal.
Looking at these… I can’t help but wonder if these are literal examples of AI imagination?
I like the way this works, it feels inspired by SvelteKit's __layout.svelte files and I think it's just very intuitive to work with.

Edit: welp, seems i glanced over too quickly, it's literally written there:

How are you supposed to actually assess the drunkness of another when the consequence of getting it wrong (or the other person claiming you get it wrong) is that you are accused of rape?

I think for this reason sex in general is not a worthwhile risk for most people
> Whatever breaks software environments on the desktop will also break them in a remote compute environment

The joy of remote environments is that they can be disposable.

Break your environment? Click a link, get a brand new one that's guaranteed to work (thanks to automated testing marking known good configurations).

Helping with three different bugs at once? Use three environments, so your work doesn't conflict with itself.
I found this at a time when I was feeling rather blue. It was fun to come up with stories for each of the maps that I generated. Kept my mind off of things. Thank you.
Just because bars where people get drunk and have sex exist does not mean they are legal

True that laws/customs/view of society may change but people live in the now.

I am not sure I agree with the premise of simply blocking people out of your life. It isn't a sustainable way for society to function. Adults have to interact with other adults, even ones you hate.

But I don't know how else to resolve it except for one or the other quitting.
If nothing else, the psychological difference is invaluable. "Priority" is irrational and often arbitrary. Impact means money. Urgency means timeline. These things can be put in numbers, even if inaccurate, this is why it's much easier to build consensus around them.

Regarding politics, the author mentioned aligning incentives in another comment. It seems generally necessary regardless of the method used.
I’m not sure what you mean by “bumping the version in source after a release”. If it’s after a release then you released it with the old version? Or do you mean prep the repo for the next version by incrementing it optimistically, in which case it probably depends on your branding model. But I don’t understand the “immediately” part of your question.

Where I work we don’t increment until we know what branch/version we are working on, and determine the semantic version, and then we still use tagging because we tag the version + build id which is computed at build time

Microsoft may have a dominant position in developer tooling, but they don’t have a monopoly. A well-funded team could create a compelling competitor to VS Code.

The issue is that there’s no money to be made duplicating the effort that has gone into VS Code when VS Code is open source. Even Google doesn’t seem to care about entering that space.
I agree with you, but for me, Dall·E 2 feels good because 90% of the time I can keep hitting the generate button and massage the prompt until I get something inspirational, surprisingly, or visually pleasing. Without access to Imagen, it's impossible for me to compare how much of the "realistic feels" of its images is constrained by the taste of the cherry-pickers.
J.Steward's "Calculus: Early Transcendentals" is pretty on point for calculus. Mathematics is more than calculus though.
It's kind of a silly exercise anyway nowadays when, for example, a Raspberry Pi Pico is $4 and has 256K RAM. And there many other nice 32 bit boards.
That sounds like a bunch of extra fiddling for a largely inferior solution.
I asked GPT-4 and it spit out the following continuation:

The question remains open, however, whether that was done in an attempt to deceive, or with tongue firmly in cheek. The cat is out of the bag, but paul graham is on the other foot in the bus? Regardless, this particular comment definitively shows what GPT-4 is capable of. I can even anticipate what the replies to my comment will say!
I’m not sure how the title got changed. But “Much philanthropy is a routinized exchange between salaried bureaucrats” is the caption on the header image not the actual title.

That just sounds horrible to me. Breaking Bad was interesting precisely because it had to end. It was about very specific characters, their changing motivations and development.

Rebooting every episode just because the premise is kinda cool and someone wants more of it diminishes what the series achieved both visually and conceptually.
> The ailments you describe can be resolved by having a small dedicated Developer Experience team.

I effectively ran that team for several years. We invested huge resources in tooling for laptop Docker environments.

Eventually (after I had moved on) that team decided that remote development environments would be a more efficient solution. I don't disagree with them!

Most of the car fires I have heard of are caused by incorrectly installed auxiliary components due to incorrect fuses and unsuitable cable diameters. This is a phenomenon that probably does not affect Tesla at all.
It's honestly bizarre that there is such a thing as a "sex offender" register. It seems it comes much more from a desire to further punish people than to actually protect the population.

I would be much more afraid of an ex-felon convicted of murder than of an ex-felon convicted of having sex with a 15 year old. Yet it's the latter that gets put into a register.

There have been men that were added to the register for urinating in public, and now their lives are ruined because of some stupid laws and politicians praying on people's paranoia against "sexual predators".
