Ahaha I've had the exact same issue recently, fortunately it was only in a few spots. Fair enough.

Interestingly enough, py2 was smart enough to automatically load things in the correct format. Loading a binary file? Get bytes. Loading a text file? Get a string. Py3 has worse functionality now, all for the sake of consistency.
It depends on whether the estimation comes from pretension, or comes from actual understanding of what these bots are doing. The fact is most people on the street, including me, are very easy to fool with linguistic tricks and are quite poor at investigating unfamiliar situations. Advertising and marketing exist because of this. It’s also why we have very strict laws and regulations controlling advertising and how products are sold. Otherwise a lot of people would be very easy to rip off with very simple misdirection.

What these language models are doing is automated misdirection. They are taking an input text and transforming it based on rules, but they have absolutely no understanding of any of it. This is very, very easy to demonstrate if you know how the models work. You can sit down and generate hundreds of questions one after the other that demonstrate this very easily if you understand the process.

The problem is that people instinctively proceed from the assumption that the system they are talking to might be human and give it a fair chance by asking answerable questions. Since it’s trained on answerable questions it often gives a reasonable answer. But if you ask even slightly unanswerable questions the system plods on mechanically trying to answer it anyway and produces gibberish, exposing the flaws in the mindless rote process it’s following.
Yeah I haven't really ever used Rust, maybe it handles these sort of things better.
I'm still not sure why all of that is useful. A lot of clever infrastructure, but for exactly what?

Also, it's worth reminding people that ETH might be useful, but still worth less than its current price. There's a ton of speculation propping up the current price.
Wow thank you for the reply! I've heard similar things about soil being depleted of iodine (will research cobalt) in Australia and other places. They ended up putting a law in place in like 2008 to have all bread for sale be made with iodized salt to get the iodine intake back up.

>But I'm angry/concerned that I had to derive this information myself over several years. Why is this not one of the top news stories, when hypothyroidism and obesity are rampant?

Holy sweet crackers, yes. It's crazy how much information we have access too and so very little useful knowledge gets delivered, particularly on health and this topic.

Never even heard of an "anti-nutrient" and while I skim a google search, I'll read up on tannins as I drink some hot tea regularly. Thanks for the post again.
I tried this approach a number of times some decade ago (about other languages / functional programming) and it didn't payoff.
Countless of presentations, workshops, discussions and nothing.

The business didn't care about nothing but hiring basic js developers and throwing them at the issue.

Nowadays I don't waste my energy trying to change clients, I'm just collecting a paycheck and going along with whatever bs the leaders think is good.

My stress levels and happiness levels are way better.
If a company has leaders who are open to change they'll hire you with that in mind, if not, they can just keep rotting with the other dinosaurs.
CH4 has a half life of like 10 years or so, so even if you deleted all cows from the world right now, in 20-40 years you'd be back to "only fossil fuel CO2 causing climate change".

Furthermore, has CH4 from cows even increased historically? There are 30m cows in the US, compared to 60m bison 150 years ago.

Being classic gothic horrors. It had very minimal story, strong visuals and music, and minimal dialogue that didn't gave away too much which made you imagine. Its roots lied in books with engraved illustrations, rather than other products of the modern entertainment industry. This was a common trait of early RPG games.
As advice, it's fine. The humor comes from the context. He's dumping this mountain of adages on his son, a full-grown man, in lieu of a goodbye.

"I have assets but I don't want to sell them" is very different from "I need a loan to provide for my family" - the latter is what banks typically provide, U.S. or not, while the former is just a financial instrument to manage exposure.

Had similar experience when I was out working in Berlin. I had a gym membership in one part of the city (paid up 12 months in advance in cash). Moved to a different part of the city and didn't go back. Fast forward about six months, two bald headed goons came knocking at my old address looking for me, with a 1850 euro bill.

Gym membership for the next year plus a 900 euro service charge because I hadn't written a letter starting my intention not to renew by 90 days of the time of an automatic roll over.

Luckily for me, the Aussie guy staying in my old place told them I'd moved into a squat and they'd have to serve notice on two dozen angry punks if they wanted their money. Never heard from them again.

But I was lucky, if I'd given them a bank account the full amount would have been charged straight away, with no comeback or way to get my money back for a service I didn't use, and the bank would be absolutely fine with that. Shortly after I moved much of my funds into crypto, and would do it again for the security from arbitrary seizure.
Refutation: I'm not in the same timezone as you are
It's crazy to me that in the west; geo politics, national defense, people's budgets, and the economy are all in alignment, but no one in power seems to be capitalising on that.

Here in the UK we've had nothing like that and seem to be going the other way with things like fuel duty cuts.

Another issue here at least is that it seems financially better to pair standard heating with battery storage than invest in a heat pump.
Set up proper replication for your database and you’re good.

Sorry for maybe direct question, but I work at a small company and we are exploring options regarding cloud db now. So you’re saying that I can just set up two/three different-datacenter vps, put db replicas there and that’s fine? I know that my many safe-to-lose-data vps’s already run for years without any issues, but managed db cost is confusing, as if it was a nontrivial task that I shouldn’t do myself.
In the absence of Rust, would C or C++ be top contenders for a given project? Then Rust might be a good fit.

If the contender language is Go, think carefully before using Rust.

If the contender language is Python, think very carefully before using Rust.
That's true but a 1000W heat pump can get you 3000W of heating. I.e. if you use a given amount of energy to transfer heat from the outside, you effectively get more than 100% (most heat pumps are at 300% efficiency).
How we wound up with Linux's kernel mode setting ('KMS')
Yeah… in Dart, which nobody knows.
The ssh tool is incredibly slow and resource intensive and defaults to losing unsaved work on disconnect. An open source version would open up the possibility of a user fixing some of these issues.
This is conjecture, but in my experience you'd get the following:

- in JS, your code will run with the bug then do something catastrophic during runtime that you can then notice and trace to the core issue

- in Java it won't compile, so you fix it so it compiles and runs, then it'll hit you in like 2 hours of runtime with a NPE or something and you'll have no idea what caused it

Maybe Kotlin, Rust, and the like solve that sort of thing better but I've yet to be convinced.
> You have no privacy. Is that not insane? You could be jailed for having a financial transactions on grindr in some countries in the world.

That’s because privacy against the state is at odds with enforcing the state’s laws. From a state-centric perspective, money is “good citizen behaviour” points. If you maintain a job deemed valuable, the bank prints you money to buy a house, etc. You have to know what people used their money on to assess if that’s good behaviour or not.
ok: `zig build -Dtarget=native-native-musl -Drelease-fast=true`

This is portable to CPUs with the same features running older linuxes. To be portable to CPUs with fewer features you should specify the CPU family with `-Dcpu=foo_bar` which seems to be the equivalent of `-march=foo-bar`.

Well, than having a post-2016 car is ruled out then (I am not completely sure about this piece of info though: I will check, there may be exceptions, e.g. vans).

The issue will be about being able to use pre-2016 cars until civilization re-emerges.
> No undefined behavior

You do have a point here, and we should update the site and the documentation. The current state of V, is that most of the undefined behaviors of C for numbers are also undefined in V too.

It would be a lot more helpful since the site and documentation is in English, to have the screenshots in English. I actually find that despite the information available it still fails to describe what it is and does.
> Do you think the world could benefit from money that can't be manipulated by governments?

Not really, no. What you call manipulation is really necessary maintenance and management meant to avoid the hypervolatility we see in crypto.

How many real world experiments do we need to run before people accept that markets, especially for money, aren't self regulating.

Hi! I’m the developer of Citybound.

I’m happily surprised to find this on HN again.

The project is currently on a hiatus because I’m focusing on building a startup, but Citybound is an will always be my 100% passion and “anything goes” research project.

I’m not on a computer today, but I will try to get back to everyone who posted in this thread.

If you have any other questions about the project or the tech please just reply to this!

(Side note: the main way I built a wonderful community for Citybound was to directly reply to each and every comment whenever it got interest somewhere - a tactic I can highly recommend)
I don't think it is fair to criticize the language like that without having "0.2 ALPHA" in the title of the ycombinator title and the article. In fact the hole article does not contain the word "alpha" or explaining the state once. It reads like that the language is expected to be ready and that all features need to work now, but they don't.

"At this time, I would not recommend spending time on V. I would also be very cautious when taking claims made by the authors at face value."

Also this point. Why does he recommend people to avoid the language. These people need contributors which help them to improve their language. It is open source. Maybe it is because I'm not native, maybe you are right.

I'm also curious if the author even tried to interact with the community/developers to get his examples to work. I'm not that good of a developer to rate the things he is claiming, so I don't know.

Hopefully he created some bugs on github so the developers have at least the chance to fix the issues he is talking about.

BTW, we built a desktop app in QML and the GUI performs great. The resizing is smooth and elegant.

My experience of ECS is the opposite of yours. It integrates nicely with the AWS ecosystem and was substantially easier to use and educate others on. Would not hesitate to use again on either fargate or BYO EC2. I will acknowledge scheduling is not quite as fast as Nomad but I never found it 'slow'

> If crypto fails, which is a real possibility in my mind, will I be unemployable because I spend several years in the scammy crypto industry?

There will be companies that will refuse to hire you if you've been working in an industry they considered to be scammy. But those compares are a few and far between.

>Apple’s operations team determined that making the iPad would require building several new features from scratch. The first-time costs of new machinery, a new logic board, and other components would amount to billions of dollars, an investment that would take years to recoup. Those so-called nonrecurring engineering costs led Apple’s business division to suspend the iPad.

I think this sums up pretty much everything that is wrong with Modern Apple. And as someone who used to scrutinise everything Apple, from their quarterly report to Supply Chains. This is sadly the case. You only need to look at Apple Retail to see how it went from a Marketing, Services and User experiences goal to some financial checkbox.

I would imagine Steve would have authorise the few billions just to build a better iPad.

It is also clear Johny have a some sort of burnout at Apple, Software UX should never have been under his decision making. After the departure of Forstall, Jony went all in and teared everything apart in iOS7 within a year. Spend most of this time on Apple Retail redesign and Apple Park. And clearly trying to make the ultimate product he long dreamed off, the Macbook and MacBook Pro Touch Bar before the tech was ready. And somehow had an Apple Design Book by the end of 2016, which I thought was basically a tribute dedicated to Johny.
You can always start, and if upi don't like it after a year, leave. Most people I know, who did PhDs, knew at that point. Some chose to stay anyway for the sunk cost fallacy, or because they had a visa, but they probably shouldn't have.

Personally I loved every day of doing a PhD (admittedly I did it in Europe, not the US) and I feel like it's allowed me to work on much more interesting stuff afterwards as well.
Lol, that's pretty much the heuristic I have been going by. Rust to replace C++ and Julia to potentially replace Python as it matures.
As an open source maintainer[1], the etiquette tips are great. However, I think +1 and status check comments are ok in certain situations where the issue might have been forgotten or it's a high priority issue.

I also like when someone reminds me they're blocked by an issue. It helps me prioritize fixing bugs so I work on things actually affecting people instead of things nobody is using. Just be polite and your comments are welcome.

That's not what I remember. Back in the days when people started implementing dvcs git was just much faster than everyone else (that was in fact the reason why Linus wrote it). Once the kernel was using it, its mindshare just grew much faster because of the publicity this implied. In other words it was largely a case of "if the kernel devs are using it it must be good". When GitHub and all the other hosting services started many still had mercurial or other dvcs (launchpad was bzr for example), but by that time the ship had sailed already I would argue.
The point is not reducing input per se, but reducing entitled input that doesn't give back anything to the community.

Abatron (one of the referenced vendors) products have been used to restore historic US buildings, https://www.abatron.com/project-gallery/

> Fort Totten was established in the 1860’s by the United States government to protect the East River approach to New York Harbor. The fort, now owned by New York City, is a park and home to dozens of historic buildings ... Many of the buildings are still utilized today by New York City first responders. A structural beam in one of the historic buildings was beginning to delaminate and show signs of water damage and rot. The New York City Department of Design and Construction contacted Abatron for advice on repairing it. Richard Ahlstrom and Marco Caporaso were sent to visit the site and consult on restoring the damaged beam in-place ... Marco and Richard were invited to give a presentation at the offices of the NYC Department of Design and Construction. Over 30 construction and design professionals attended the educational seminar which included hands-on demonstrations of Abatron’s wood restoration materials.
> Otherwise we end up like Europe, I was there for a month earlier this year and their roads are unplanned, narrow, chaotic dogshit

I wish this was true. But it's like this only in the historic centers which (obviously) have not been designed with cars in mind. Outside of those historic centers large European cities are more often than not full of nightmarish highways and parking lots.
That's fair enough and I get the broader point about ClickHouse being rather inflexible wrt query performance. It still seems like the initial sorting key for CH would've been the worst possible one for all benchmark scenarios.
> I see though that V supports closures. What are the rules for shadowing variables in closures?

fn main() {
x := 1
y := fn (x int) {
println(x)
}
y(x)

}

I am not sure I follow - the `x` parameter for the anonymous function, is entirely different, than the `x` in the main function. For me, there is no way for it to be confused with the `x` inside main.

...
y := fn [x] (x int) {
println(x)
}
...

> Well, that seems like it should be disallowed. It makes sense that x can be captured but to then shadow the argument with the same name without error or warning doesn’t seem inline with the rest of V’s behavior.

I still remember back in 2004 when I needed to use the bessel j functions for a C++ electromagnetics simulation for the university. Back then, these functions were only available on a 1986 Fortran implementation by DE Amos (https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/7921.214331).

I was so delighted when I was able to compile the fortran sources as .obj files and then call them from my C++ program to receive the correct results!
1. This is where power users will always get irritated with Apple's philosophy - instead of informing the user that memory is running out and asking the user to decide which apps to terminate, Apple decides it for you. Good for naive users. Not for superusers.

2. Yet another reason to not go for devices with soldered RAMs from any company. (Remember, we used to run Linux and Windows on just 16/32 MB ram. It wasn't enough. Today, 8/16 GB are common. And yet again, not enough.)
>My theory now is that ADHD is tied to diet and environment.

I agree that it is, and it has shown to be linked to diet & environment. ADHD isn't strictly defined enough to be only diet & environment though. There's a whole bunch of ADHD symptoms that present as a result of an underlying health condition. Hypo/Hyperthyroid problems look like ADHD-PI and ADHD-H. Vitamin deficiency and environmental poisoning can create symptoms too.

But also some people have it regardless of those factors, so it's really a broad label at the moment which could do with a lot more refinement.
> Scotland's deficit is persistent

Yes, persistent (like the UK's) but not consistent as you implied.

9.2% and 20%+ is a hell of a spread to start cherry picking from.

More wisely, I would make my long-term economic decisions based not on the consequences of Tory governance, but on the potential upsides offered by managing the Scottish economy according to its own priorities.
