Global warming will eventually effect everyone, which is the point. It's already effecting many people and people they know... That's a weird one to pick considering how much it already effect people and will definitely effect people in the future. The war in Ukraine is also massively effecting us when it comes to energy prices and a large component of the remainder of the inflation (partly hard scarcity in many commodities and partly due to uncertainty.) This is the weirdest comment, like you're totally out of touch with what's going on somehow...
I think this requires the `--experimental-fetch` command-line argument (per https://nodejs.org/tr/blog/release/v17.5.0/), so I don't think it qualifies as "by default".

You think the OAS or Áñez were somehow working for Musk? Without any evidence tying him to the events of 2019, it seems much more likely that his tweet was a sort of juvenile attempt to troll leftists.
1. Add a QR code to the labels pointing to a “washingstructions://“ scheme

2. Add said scheme to iOS and Android

3. Scan the QR code

4. iOS or Android show the washing instructions in text/icons/images, of course localized
>Maybe there's some easy, incremental improvement I could make. But the current symbols do not help me do that.

I'd be curious what the users of the labels think. If they exist.
Here's how I think about SaaS investments. If it's something I want or am curious about, but doesn't really have a tangible ROI, I decide if it's worth my disposable income and disposable time. If I have neither disposable income nor disposable time, it's not worth it, no matter whether it's $5 or $500/mo. You see, even for $5/yr my time is worth MORE than that money and the cost doesn't make my time worth any more or less.

If it has a tangible ROI, then I figure out how much my time is worth, I figure out how much time or other resource the SaaS app will save and then decide if it's worth the tradeoff. For example, I suck at graphic design, so a monthly $13/mo to Canva is worth it to me to save time, aggravation, and headache, not to mention improved quality of results. I know that I save myself much more in time than the $13/mo is worth.

On the otherhand, I can't justify paying even $15/mo for a podcast transcription tool because I still have to spend dozens of hours checking the transcription and it doesn't save me any headache. So it's not worth it to me. It doesn't matter if it's $60/yr or $100/yr, my time is still worth the same. If it's not worth it at $60/yr , it's not worth it at $100/yr.

Maybe this thought process is different for others, but with so much SaaS out there, it's important to focus on what will drive high value. Incremental "auto-yes" spending at any price point can get you into trouble.
Honestly it puts the legal burden on YOU. Think of Github Copilot like a fancy pants search engine, it mixes and matches stuff to your query, and doesn't even tell where it copied it from! Indexing search results, fair use. Using that code in YOUR codebase without a license :)

I have no idea how it's implemented under-the-hood, I don't even know what any of those acronyms stand for :)

Regardless of how it's implemented, I don't believe it changes my point that an 'ADD mem, reg' really is at least 3 separate operations, and code density is the only potential benefit to expressing them as a single instruction (on a modern architecture). If you have suggestions as to how I should reword my comment, I'm happy to make edits.

Not sure I follow. Ponzi can also exist without new participants buying into it - as long as the existing ones keep pumping money into it. And on the aggregate, bitcoin is negative sum game. Someone must pay for the mining costs and that money must come from outside bitcoin.
> I wholeheartedly agree with your analysis, but feel like it’s ignoring the elephant in the room: writing code is not the bottleneck in need of optimization. Conceiving the solution is.

I dunno about this. I know the received wisdom is that "writing the code isn't the hard part", but I think reality is more like "writing the code is only one of the hard parts". There's an awful lot of badly-written code, or code which is only partly correct, or only correct under some circumstances. The only way to make writing code not one of the hard parts is to specify 100% of the functionality, every corner case, and all test scenarios, before any code is written. And then you still have to verify that it was translated correctly into code, which I think we can all agree is another one of the hard parts!

Conceiving the solution is hard, thinking of edge cases, what-ifs, and failure scenarios is hard, creating effective tests is hard, and writing the actual code understandably and correctly is also hard!
Why wouldn't it? I'm not aware of colons being a special character in any shell I can think of

Not sure if you know this but almost all the apps you've ever heard of are owned by precisely one company: the Match Group.
I've found it to be very helpful, especially when working with poorly documented APIs. (Looking at you, Google Play Store APIs).

Maybe for placeholders...but honestly it takes very little time to be able to whip up rough pixelart sprites and animations yourself. And they'll probably be better in many ways.

But a game's quality is honestly mostly art & music & other non-automatable creativity rather than the software. I highly recommend treating art and music education as core to indie gamedev education.
This is how it works because the room is not sealed, nor is the filter being used to filter outside air into a positive pressure area.

It is (hopefully) easy to see that e.g. a filter that removes 99.5% of particles, but moves twice as much air per minute will remove almost twice as many particles per minute as a filter that removes 99.95% of particles.

Using the numbers from TFA (20% of the room for the 99.5 rather than 10%):

.2 × (1-.995) + .8 = 0.801

vs

.1 × (1-.9995) + .9 = 0.90005

Thus proving the point in TFA that the airflow matters more than E12 vs H13. The fact that the steady state (given that "dirty" air is being introduced somehow) is lower for the filter that moves more air follows from the fact that it removes particles at a faster rate.

Regarding the training of the model - I don't think a copyright can restrict reading, and training is reading, not distributing any original data.

About deploying the model - it just needs to filter out verbatim exact snippets so it only outputs original, unattributable code. That can be done by hashing ngrams and a bloom filter. The vast majority of code generated by Codex is original anyway.

By the way, Codex is good for many other tasks, like, parsing the fields of a receipt, or extracting the summary of an email, or generating baby names, it's an all purpose NLP tool. Just call it like a function. Code completion is just one thing it does. It talks pretty great English, can compose poems.

Quicker notifications means a tighter OODA loop, e.g. more control.
Then you have harder to reason about test that can fail in its complex parameter matrix. I think it's okay for test to be a little bit repetitive
DRAM prices to drop 3-8% due to Ukraine war, inflation
That's been the objective of programming languages for 50 years. It hasn't happened yet, because the essential complexity of programming problems isn't in writing the code.

The street I used to live on in the suburbs of Portland, OR was not contiguous. To get from one part of the street to the other, you had to drive down at least two other other streets. Or another way to look at it was that there were two distinct nearby streets with precisely the same name. At least the house numbers were unique. This was a source of frustration and confusion, especially before GPS's became common.
You're implying most "working class retail job" people got into crypto as an inflation hedge and not because of the non-stop in your face FOMO propaganda about how rich they could get? And that no inflation hedges existed for these people besides sinking their life savings into crypto?
They can be conflated, even by professionals.

Something similar happened with my grandma, she had to sell her house and move into a nursing home because what was diagnosed as dementia. Afterwards, a specialist realized that it was her medications causing dementia-like symptoms, and after adjusting them, she became a completely normal again.
This question is going to make me sound like a jerk, but why do you want to write your back-end in JS? Deno looks like a great improvement over node.js, but I don't feel compelled to use it. It seems like people jumped to node based on some performance promises that didn't really pay off (IMO). And since then, we have newer options like Rust, Go, and Elixir as performant back-end options, and even older choices like Ruby and Python have continued to improve.

Seems like the standard arguments would be that developers already know JS, and that you can share code with the browser. I don't find these highly compelling.

EDIT: I haven't learned typescript yet, based on the replies, it seems like that could be a good reason to choose it. Seems like a nice middle-ground between typical scripting and compiled languages.
They do, but that's not a bad thing. Sequoia invests in companies they think could be worth multiple billions.

If Deno reaches 30% of the impact of Node, their company could be worth billions.

In the meantime, we get a better open source runtime because they have money to build it out.
No provider is perfect, but it's because of stuff like this that I trust Cloudflare waaaaaaaaaaay more than the likes of Amazon. Transparency engenders trust, and eventually, love! Thank you, Cloudflare.

The sheer level of technical competence of your engineering team continues to astound me. (Yes, they made a mistake and didn't catch an error in the diff. But your response process went exactly as it should, and your postmortem is excellent.) I couldn't even begin to think about designing or implementing something of this complexity, much less being able to explain it to a layperson after a failure. It is really impressive, and I hope you will continue to do so into the future!

Most of the companies I've worked for unfortunately don't use your services, but I've always been a staunch advocate and converted a few. Maybe the higher-ups only see downtime and name recognition (i.e. you're not Amazon), but for what it's worth, us devs down the ladder definitely notice your transparency and communications, and it means the world. I've learned to structure my own postmortems after yours, and it's really aided in internal communications.

Thank you again. I can't wait for the day I get to work in a fully-Cloudflare stack :)

The most valuable thing the AI doesn't know is WHY the code should do what it does.

Interesting article. Purely reacting to the headline, I think a Google employee fell for the effect of wanting to be famous. Big tech companies are having to deal with the reality that in certain areas (integrity, privacy, AI) employees with sensitive info can become celebrities if they decide to leak, do a profile in WSJ/NYT/WaPo, and hit the speaking circuit.
That’s because HN is just about the only thing written in Arc, and everything else you see is a fork of an earlier version of HN.
Quite. So we agree that this code is incorrect, and thus, that we have a contradiction on our hands.

To be clear: we’re in agreement that incorrect code that passes for correct at a glance is even worse than obviously-incorrect code.

At this point, Wikimedia the organization is parasitic on Wikipedia the open-source information project. The latter generates all the goodwill and the former fucks around doing vanity projects with the ensuing resources.

I'm not blaming BGP, since it prevents far more outages than it causes, but BGP-based outages have been a thing since its beginning. And any other protocol would have outages too - BGP just happens to be the protocol being used.

You can't expect more from a venture that pumps money into marketing or "growth" in order to sell loans. There are many dozens of these floating around today flush with VC money that spilling out of late. I think history will show these all to have played around with some very questionable ethics and hopefully bring about regulation around unsecured loans.

More and more countries are trying to improve the efficiency of their meat production. It's not just the US. It's also China, India, Europe. Factory farming is efficient - but it's very destructive

And it's a problem. Feeding the world with animal meat (without curbing demand) is not sustainable - see https://ourworldindata.org/environmental-impacts-of-food. All those animal products have the highest GHG emissions.

As per my other reply... Is it logical to feed the world with products that require the most resources and have the most devastating impacts on our biosphere?

Why not? Wouldn't you want to avoid exploitation and violence where possible?

Have you tried making cheese with other types of milk? It's pretty amazing how far we got with making non-dairy cheese products.

Right, that’s exactly my point! Jumpstart has basically the same pricing/licensing but doesn’t frame it in a confusing way.

At first glance, it’s just a yearly subscription per project. Simple and standard. Everyone understands it.

If I’m concerned about what happens if I stop paying for jumpstart, I can find that information, but it’s not emphasized at the top like it is on your pricing page. And the yearly subscription is the default, not something I have to opt into again every year.

Most customers are just going to sign up for a yearly subscription and never look back. It’s better for the customer and for jumpstart.
Yup - 'sqlite-utils memory' works by creating an in-memory database, importing various different file formats into it, running the query and then throwing everything away again. It's generally not a good fit for anything over a few dozen MBs of data.
What I'd like to see happen (though it's extremely unlikely) would be to rely less on emotionally charged banners thanks to the new revenue provided by the enterprise product.

But the current fundraising strategy works extremely well so I really can't see it changing it at all.

Full disclosure: Until very recently I was employed by Wikimedia as a Release Engineer. I was there for 7 years, however, I left for a new opportunity in February of this year.

I am not a fan of the direction the organization seems to be headed. During the past few years there has been rapid growth and increased corporate culture. Seems to be kind of similar to what happened with the Mozilla foundation and that really hasn't worked out well for them so I am not entirely optimistic about the future of Wikipedia and the free knowledge movement in general.
Scott Aaronson adds the following in the comment on his blog post in response to a question about this:

Rick and Morty did something similar in the episode "Edge of Tomorty: Rick Die Rickpeat". Morty got ahold of a crystal that showed him what his final moments would look like, and the vision updated as his actions changed his future.
That sounds dreadful.
Nope, not for fun. Rather, they come from enterprise backgrounds where everything moves at a snail's pace and their methods - which they refuse to update - are wholly unsuited to a fast-moving company.

> Or is it possible that they actually know a lot of things that you don’t, and all of that “wasted time” is actually being used to provide safety, security, and proper architecture for apps?

I handle safety/security and architecture and have been for over a decade. I know what I'm doing. I would expect that any mid-large tech company in 2022 would have a way of quickly spinning up new, basic CRUD apps - if you have to write a REST API in Java from scratch over the course of two quarters every time someone needs to deploy an internal dashboard, you're doing it wrong.

> "wasted time"

Your words, not mine.

The problem in tech is a bunch of grumpy sysadmin types gatekeeping the stack and preventing people who are trying to solve business problems from doing so. Then when we introduce new technology to actually enable us to solve these problems, "oh this is a fad, I hate this language, why can't we keep things the way they were." Because you refuse to adapt, and we have stakeholders/paying customers who expect results.
What about using an npm package in deno?
I only read the first article in the four-part series, which extols the virtues of darkmode. So perhaps later articles pick apart the first, or describe the nuances? Regardless, DarkMode is like a pair of sunglasses. Sometimes one wears shades, sometimes one doesn't... and some really cool people are always wearing them because they are so cool.
