Mod tools aren't used by the majority of users, correct. But the existence of mod tools does make the logic and assumptions of the application different. Now you've got a whole set of permissions and permissions checks, additional interfaces, more schema, etc.

Its not that the mod tools are constantly being used, its that there's now potentially far more code complexity for those tools to even exist.
If you can't prove your code was stolen you shouldn't have a claim. And Codex should just skip code that exists in the training set. All that remains is creative code.
But that is now. I'm talking about how it used to be. Look at the GP. Here's what I'm responding to:

> People in their 20s having their own digs is, I think, a decidedly American phenomenon. In most of the poorer parts of the world (including, for example, Central and Eastern Europe), 30+ years ago younger crowd managed to have sex just fine, using dorm rooms, snatching time while parents were away, etc.

I think them not having their own digs is much more an American phenomenon, at least recently. Though houses have gotten ridiculously expensive in a lot of countries. Still, back when I was in my 20s, it was quite common in Europe for people to at least rent their own place, and possibly even buy a small apartment. I've got an entire branch of my family where everybody married at 21 and moved out at that age. In my parents' time, it was not much different, though they did live in my grandparents' massive house briefly after their marriage, and bought their first home when they were 34. But it was definitely common for people to move out of their parents' home when they got married. Once going to university got more common, that became the time they moved out.
Yeah, there's got to be some sweet spot between "formally verify all the things" and "i guess this diff looks okay, yolo!".

I'd say that if you're designing a system which has the potential to disconnect half your customers based on a misconfiguration, then you should spend at least an hour thinking about what sorts of misconfigurations are possible, and how you could prevent or mitigate them.

The cost-benefit analysis of "how likely is it such a mistake would get to production (and what would that cost us)?" vs "how much effort would it take to write and maintain a verifier that prevents this mistake?" should then be fairly easy to estimate with sufficient accuracy.
Comments are a bit negative. I for one think they are onto something here. Surprised it's only 21M. I would have expected in these market conditions to beef up more for the next 2-3 years.
I was reading through your comments and was thinking "This guy is definitely Italian" and well guess I was right. Typical attitude: Thinking Italy is this amazing place and that everything else is trash.
The SEC don't make the filings. The company sends them to the SEC, who just hosts them...

Ok, in your link..."expenses" on page 11 doesn't include revenue.... so no, that's not burn. You want to add the money coming in to the money going out to calculate burn.

Look at pages 20 onwards. Same data they send the SEC. You have revenue and expenses in an income statement. But, many of the expenses are non-cash. And many balance sheet changes (like receivables, inventory etc) affect cash but not the income statement. So, if you want to understand the burn rate the easiest place to go is the cashflow statement. That's page 22. Look about 2/3 way down and you'll see "net cash (used in) provided by operating activities".

It's worth investing a few hours to understand basic accounting if you want to understand the basics of companies. Lots of info at your fingertips if you can be bothered. You'll even be able to see where random forbes contributors go wrong.

You're thinking of cellphones and workstations, but Zmul is about microcontrollers, not workstations. The temperature controller in your Pinecil soldering iron might not implement division or have a trap mechanism at all, nor enough Flash to waste some on unused division trap handlers, and there's no point in trying to link a precompiled copy of OpenSSL into its firmware anyway. Nevertheless, if it's RISC-V, you can compile its firmware with GCC or clang. And hardware multiplication is super useful for real-time control systems with, for example, PID controllers in them.

Fair. I stated it badly, which made it look like a personal attack. So let me try again:

In most environments, that kind of writing comes across as pretentious, and even as deliberately obscure. But for at least some people, in college they learn to write that way, because it gives them better grades. But they would in fact communicate better if they didn't write that way, and college in general would be better if they taught people how to write for a general audience, instead of for professors.

Now you in particular, just that one sentence struck me that way. Your writing in general didn't come across that way, and my comment should not be taken as a personal attack. That one sentence, though, I feel merits criticism.

Huh, that’s my experience with human-written texts and journalism in particular.
I have been using CoPilot for about 5 months. For Python and JavaScript (I am not much of a JavaScript developer - not a primary language for me) I found that it is very worthwhile. It is easy to not accept generated code, or tweak and test generated code.

I recently started a 100% Common Lisp job and it does not work nearly as well for Common Lisp. A lot of generated code is Emacs Lisp.

Two months ago I would have signed up for a payed account with no hesitation, but I need to re-evaluate it with Common Lisp again. BTW, I happily pay OpenAI for GPT-3 APIs instead of using it for free. For NLP work, OpenAI's APIs have high value to me.
I should say "untrusted code" to be more specific.
The great thing about resistive pads is their mechanical simplicity. You can make any part in them yourself with supplies available at a hardware store, and conduct most repairs with basic hand tools. What sort of "heavy use" breaks these pads quickly? Are you playing with a sledgehammer? There's videos of people passing ITG14s on Cobalt Fluxes posted to YouTube this year. Cobalt Flux went out of business in 2011, so those pads are over a decade old, and you don't get good enough to pass 14s playing casually.

And if your definition of 'flimsy' is 'requires some maintenance every decade', note that the product we're comparing it to, the Oculus, has a lithium ion battery in it that's e-waste after less than half that time, and good luck getting spares in a market that discontinues its products every couple of years.
Same here. This has absolutely helped improve the speed at which I code and reduced the cognitive burden significantly.

It's definitely not perfect, but it's worth the price to me and if I can pay and help the product improve, it's a no-brainer.
Whilst true for multiply, divide is considerably more complex. You have to step up to the M3 to get a divide instruction on the ARM side. This is why the new Zmmul is valuable over the existing M extension.

At first I thought it was a young writer hoping to push some boundaries, but the author's bio says that she has been contributing to The New Yorker since 1987. I suppose either the writer intentionally wrote this to enhance how risqué the story is meant to be, or, perhaps she wants to normalize this use of the F-word?

I know the word choice is correct, even proper - as far as the English language is concerned - yet it feels socially improper given the reputation of the publication.

Totally agree. Time is a primary component, but it might not always be the primary query parameter... at least once the data is aggregated.

In the example you gave, I'd assume that you wouldn't run a query over billions of transactions to do a sum. (obviously indexes would be part of reducing this number at query time). I would think you'd probably want to aggregate the sum per hour/day of all addresses and then decide at query-time if you need to sum all transactions for all time or within a specific range. Whenever you need to constrain the query based on time, you're still using the data like time-series, even if the final result doesn't have a date on it. And whenever you're doing the same aggregate queries over and over, that's where Continuous Aggregates can help!

For example, using the (transaction??) timestamp to efficiently store the data in time-based partitions (TimescaleDB chunks) unlocks all kinds of other functionality. You can create continuous aggregates to keep that historical aggregate data up-to-date (even if you need to eventually drop or archive some of the raw transaction data). With 2.7, you can create indexes on the views in ways you couldn't before which speeds up queries even more. Chunks can be compressed (often 93%+!!) and make historical queries faster while saving you money.

So in that sense, time is the component that helps unlock features - when time is an essential component of the raw data, but the query-time analytics don't have to specifically be about time. PostgreSQL and TimescaleDB work together to efficiently use indexes and features like partition pruning to provide the performance you need.

BTW, I'm not sure if you saw the post and tutorial we just released last week showing how to analyze transactions on the Bitcoin Blockchain or not. [1][2] Similar use-case and not all tied to time-based queries only. There are also other companies currently indexing other blockchains (Solana for instance) that have had really great success with TimescaleDB (and it gets even better with TimescaleDB 2.7!)

Thanks!

Hi HN,

Six months ago, I quit my corporate job to work on ToolWall. I was tired of the bureaucracy and frankly, a bit burnt out. I was doing woodworking in my free time, so it was a natural progression to build something related to woodworking and tech.

When I first setup my garage workshop, I spent a lot of time organizing it instead of working on fun projects. The other woodworkers, leatherworkers, mechanics, and makers that I talked to had the same problem. They all want an easy, cheap and sturdy solution for organization. I believe https://toolwallhq.com is that solution.

The biggest advantage that ToolWall has over existing solutions in the market is the online visual artboard where you can organize your tools and their holders before purchasing the latter. It uses Canvas and SVGs to represent the tools. (I eventually want to build a AR app which detects the tools you own from uploaded pictures and auto suggests how to organize them).

Couple days ago, I launched the beta and have been looking to get feedback on the site and the product. I would love to hear what you think.

Thank you for your time.

PS: If you have a CNC and are willing to test out some of my beta designs, I'll send you the Fusion files for free. You can reach me at me@toolwallhq.com.

The redesign is to much of the author's local iconography, it is less "global" than the original.

The worst offender being the representation of a front loading washing machine, while most of the developing world uses top loading washing machines. In my country all those "washing machine" icons would be incorrectly read as tumble dryer icons because here washers are top loaded and dryers are front loaded.
Can someone more knowledgeable highlight what kind of security model do these Deno deployments have compared to virtual machines and containers, if they are isolated at the process level.

It’s amusing to see a whole generation of senior developers (“senior” as in 5+ years of experience) that haven’t experienced web development without React[0] and who proceed to reinvent PHP/ASP.NET/RoR.

Interestingly, I see the complete opposite. High rates for remote contracts (700, even 800 pounds per day) in London companies, but almost all of them they want to hire remotely from the UK only. I'm not sure if there's some practical reason behind it or it's just pure classism/nationalism at play.
I won't rightly describe the confusion your post gives me. Nothing he says seems contradictory. It produces good looking code which upon further inspection has faulty logic.

You would expect that from a program that copies a database of all the examples in the world (or whatever) and then just does an autocomplete without any kind of comprehension of what the problem is that is trying to be solved.

No confusion or contradiction at all.

How do you make ammonia with a battery?

The target use case for hydrogen isn't the cases where you can use a battery. It's all the places where that doesn't work.
Sad that there is no mention of ammonia, everyone knows this is the most efficient method of storing and transporting hydrogen.
I'm not sure, I'm pretty sure they're trying to communicate that these are worst case estimates. ~100 seems like it's communicating average case estimates (big theta notation), which isn't really the same thing

Thanks for documenting what you've been doing.

My main thought midway through your narrative was wondering when you'd realize you're building out a datadog-like tech stack - you mention I think splunk at one point in there at least.

I think a thorough review of datadog and a competitor or two might be interesting for you; the market for 'use SQL for everything' is pretty small. The market for 'use dashboarding tech to read ALL the data' is really very large, and the command line tool you built probably works as middleware.

If I were sitting where you're sitting, I would probably look at two things: could I build a niche datadog competitor with what I've got? If so, you've got really good market comps in public companies and could probably build a pretty great SAAS-model lifestyle business at the very least, which would have value to own, sell, or get investment in for growth.

Second, if I didn't think I could, I would look into selling the CLI-SQL tool in the marketplaces of datadog and so on; their strategy is to allow partners to monetize the customer base by selling tools - this probably wouldn't be a retirement-grade result for you, but I bet the monthly income could significantly beat what you've got so far; those BI tools are expensive, and so incremental charges don't always register, especially if you're bringing new data in the system in a way that was difficult to before. In this case, I'd probably work on a couple quick hits where your tool brought a lot more expressivity to the dashboarding tools. For instance, you can pay extra for log ingestion at datadog, but the tools for dealing with these logs are somewhat limited in the UI. A similarly-priced extension from you that gets better querying might be worth a lot.

At any rate, keep it up, and good luck in the next year!

The colors of hydrogen have specific meanings.

Green hydrogen - hydrogen derived from water electrolysis, ostensibly from renewable electrical sources so no greenhouse gases are produced

Blue hydrogen - hydrogen derived from hydrocarbons, produces greenhouse gases as waste

Pink hydrogen - hydrogen from water electrolysis from nuclear electrical sources, no greenhouse gases produced

The description of "green" hydrogen is only tangentially related to the colloquial use of "green". So long as no greenhouse gases are produced the hydrogen is labeled green.

The use for hydrogen isn't an energy source but as an energy transport and storage. So "green" hydrogen is still "green" in the colloquial sense despite its inefficiency if it doesn't produce any greenhouse gases in the pipeline.

All that being said, I personally think hydrogen is stupid as a transport and storage medium for electricity. Electrical transmission lines will always be more efficient than a theoretical hydrogen pipeline. A chemical battery has a lot less that can go wrong than compressed hydrogen storage. About the only place it even starts to make any sense is grid-scale storage and even then I don't think it can practically beat other storage systems.
>If we measured all the particles in the brain, would they be operating in a way not compatible with the currently known laws of physics?

Their operation would be perfectly compatible with the known laws of physics. But their operation is _not_ thinking itself, it's what thinking looks like when observed across a dissociative boundary. If I am sad, and you look at my face and see tears, you would never think that the tears were my sadness itself; they are a representation, an image, of the sadness. Tears are what sadness looks like from across that boundary. I experience sadness from a first-person perspective, you see my tears from a second-person perspective, across a dissociative boundary. So, you can measure electrical activity in your brain when you are thinking thoughts, but that activity is not your thoughts, in the same way that flames are the image of fire but they are not fire itself. Neuronal activity is the image of thought, it is what your thoughts look like from across a dissociative boundary.

But he really thought that TV was an important medium and there were things he wanted to say. He just found out that science fiction allowed him to get around censorship.

Just as a reminder: Nothing is context-free. Even, if something may appear self-explanatory to you, there's always convention involved to some degree.

E.g., does this symbol mean do not pack the cleaned cloth in a nylon envelope, or does it mean no dry cleaning? Is this an artificial heat source, or "natural dry"? Or is it the smelly process (bleaching)? Is this a closed chemical or recycling process, or tumbling? Also, the dot system is probably easier to identify and discern and more resistant to wear than the depiction of thermometers (which probably only work relative to each other, having something to compare with).

Moreover, icons like these are not app icons on the home screen: they do not work best, if they (or their constituting elements) are all of even weight. Eye-sight, lighting conditions and ease of identification are primary aspects of this. Something like this should probably work by a primary context identifier, conveyed by the shape, and a secondary qualifier ("specificator") inside that shape with convenient separating whitespace around it.
