I don’t believe we will lose the capability to create new original styles. If a prompter can describe the creation of a new style, the AI can create it. Using both iterations of image & text prompts, unique styles will come.

The thinking is still done by the human prompter.

I think this cuts to the heart of the question about how useful static type systems are.

Other validation / schema systems are typically much more powerful and have nicer ergonomics & learning curves for expressing invariants and business rules for data.

TS approaches warp the way you represent data as objects, because the checking requirements will heavily influence the way you design the data objects and representations.

(Not to mention all the other wins non-TS methods have, like portability of the information as data to other systems and tooling, ability to transfer or load the validation data at runtime, share between programming languages, easier to support different versions of the data and the schema concurrently, etc)

On every team I've worked with, I've always been the youngest.

I found that early in my career too. It's been happening less and less as I get older. I can't understand why.
IMO they shouldn't cut price much because their available bandwidth is strictly limited by satellites that is very costly to launch (though SpaceX is really great to cut costs, it's still satellites) and not unlimitedly expandable, unlike fibers. Keep price high (but affordable) so who really needed can use service at higher speed, and make profit. Perhaps different pricing per area is good way.
I was curious, so as a point of comparison, the latest Common Crawl [0] is 3.1 billion pages and 370 TB uncompressed. I would presume that Bing would be significantly larger given commercial interests.

Joins would presumably still be in the from-clause, so you get:

FROM a JOIN b JOIN c
SELECT b._

Here aoutocomplete helps also with the joined tables. Autocomplete would also help in subqueries:

FROM a JOIN (FROM b WHERE b._
That depends entirely on the rent/buy ratio and other factors like transaction costs and frequency of moving. It’s not a “confusion”, especially in places with competitive housing markets like Japan.

Since your following sentence agrees that renting isn’t universally cheaper, then you need to actually bring some relevant information on that point to have a substantive, non-confused comment.

What do you think your comment was accomplishing beyond calling confused? This discussion still lacks any evidence whatsoever that renting in Korea implies frequent relocation.

> Again do you think that after 42 years that HBO will not allow you to pay for ad free content?

maybe, although I'm thinking more that WarnerMedia might have a say in it as HBOMax is a combination of HBO and Warner Bros, and at some point I might expect numbers cruncher at WarnerMedia come up with argument.

How I expect ads to arrive (streaming media industry wide, not in any particular order) -

1. Maybe changes to how product placement work - extra edits for placing in products. Think of it as an impromptu streaming "Director's cut" for putting in a few cute but nonessential scenes with product placement in them.

2. Some special trailers, for example Coming attraction hero trailer at top of page autoplays like Netflix autoplays, maybe can't turn off but ok, it lasts for 5 seconds at first, slowly gets pushed up to 10.

3. Netflix is already rolling out an ad supported tier next year for its original movies, will lose some people but I suppose it will work out in the end and the industry will follow with however they do the ads because every company will say see how much money Netflix made!

I mean my theory is that companies have no morals and capitalism means always having to find new ways to increase profits and the future is uncertain but there are trends pointing to companies obviously wanting to add Advertising layers in streaming services. So basically the pessimistic view when applied to "Will streaming services start pushing advertising?"

Your theory seems to be just that HBO wouldn't do that - because they didn't in another industry (Cable).
Work on the hardest problems you can with the smartest people you know. Keep that up long enough and you'll be all on your own, with some crackpot idea nobody is really sure if it will work or not. That's when you've met the cutting edge, the boundary of what anyone knows or has done. At that point you just keep on exploring. Hack something important and useful together, and invent it into the world. Don't worry about the laurels, they'll come in due time.

If there was a book called "How to Become the Greatest Programmer Ever" I would recommend it to you. The fact of the matter is the world is a strange and lonely place: Your guess is as good as mine. Follow the well marked paths as long as you can, never let good advice fall on deaf ears, and pray to heaven for guidance when the going gets tough.
There's a lot you can learn by yourself in this field as you've probably realized.

But I find the best learnings for me have come from others. Mostly through observing their work and them observing mine. I think finding and surrounding yourself with people you admire is best.

Remember code is just a tool to achieve some end goal and it shouldn't be the goal itself imo.
One problem of modern medicine is the use of fake-hormones.

When Progesterone USP (bio-identical) is applied to the skin, it gets into circulation and avoids first pass metabolization by liver. When the appropriate solvent is used to dissolve the Progesterone USP powder, the progesterone is transported through the liver.

Steroidogenesis refers to the process whereby the body makes steroids for itself. The key jump - from cholesterol to pregnenolone - is facilitated with Vitamin A and thyroid (T3).

Know a couple who were trying to conceive, after suppressing her fertility with fake hormones (and an IUD) for maybe 8+ years. Lots of miscarriages. They eventually went for IVF, which didn't work either. They gave up and started getting their house ready for adoption. Then they got surprised. I don't think she used topical Progesterone, just the megadoses in Prometrium (liver can't destroy it all on the first pass).

Best wishes to you & your wife.
Probably because it comes through as tall claims based on anecdata? But I've lived in Europe, America, Asia, ME & Australia (also visited every SEA country) and the prevalence of male feminization & rich-people obesity (esp central adiposity) in certain regions is quite staggering.

And almost every single person I know personally with difficulty conceiving (various races, various countries, various diagnoses including ectopic/fibroids/undiagnosed) had some obvious-to-me metabolic-syndrome/cholecalciferol/ferritin issues going on, particularly Asian-sub-continentals in northern sun-starved climates who were not supplementing cholecalciferol.

Aside: How does one tell downvotes? I suppose I should look in the FAQ. IIRC only established members can downvote. Despite my account being from HN's 2007 inception, I do not have enough established-karma to have my own downvote button. So I generally don't bother about it, as it's a bit of a circular dead-end karma-spiral which I had thought the HN mechanics were supposed to avoid.
15 years with one pot of money. I've earned much more when I was an executive and my wife was working in PR, then she founded a startup and sold it to a competitor, so she earned a lot more, now I'm a CTO coach and she writes books, so I earn more. I struggled the first two weeks with the decision because before I could do whatever I wanted with my money, but never regretted it, very happy, never was an issue since.

When we go to diner with friends, who have a discussion who is paying, I always feel glad we don't have that.

Well, you won’t.

Developer ≠ programmer.

Let adversity be the fuel to to you fire. Don’t let a random person like tell you it’s not gonna happen. Prove me wrong.

Learn programming (if that is what you want to be the best at. There are of course many diciplines out there where you could be no.1)

Think and reflect. Maybe try a hallucinagen at some point (that won’t make you smarter and carries its own risk, but best case scenario it will open the doors to new mental pathways for you to think and reflect internally and externally)

Learn. As much as you can. Apply that knowledge to as many things as you can. If your toolbox only has a screwdriver and nails, how do yo solve for that? Get a screwdriver, modify the hammer or create a solution to put between the screwdriver and nails? This also leads back to the think and reflect part (and is not exclusively entrepreneurial in spirit, it applies to most aspects of work and life)

Be nice and humble. You won’t get far on raw talent alone. You need people to support and challenge you.

Focus, dedication, determination. The movie Whiplash in many ways explores what it means and takes to become “the best”. Watch it.

Did you miss that the analogy would have “rotor input” instead of a replacement rotor, and that I agreed it would require some domain knowledge, or is this just you adding toxic snark to look clever and discourage substantive contributions to these threads?

In any case, the record player analogy is still unhelpful because it conveys no practical intuition about why a record might break its player — that doesn’t happen in practice. Unless you want to make a substantive remark by showing an everyday case where a normal record might come close to breaking a normal player.
The basis for how "healthy" sperm is is implied to be how mobile it is, and in an environment where sperm are competing to reach the egg first, being more mobile is absolutely a trait that will be evolutionarily selected for because less mobile ("less healthy") sperm will conceive less.

But in an environment where that doesn't matter anymore, it's only natural that sperm "health" will consequently deterioriate. Natural selection doesn't select for "the best", it only selects for "good enough". And if "unhealthy" sperm that can't move sufficently is "good enough", well so be it. Especially if we take factors like in-vitro and artificial insemination into account, those really remove the "health" of sperm from the equation of pregnancy.
Sure the strength of the USD is a factor that moves the local price when you bill in dollars but I believe Starlink has a "tech company" financials, by that I mean the cost of servicing the costumer is minimal and most of the money spent is on building the product. Why? Because these are low touch businesses, they don't need to scale their workforce linearly with the demand. It's bit like selling software, you spend money developing it then you spend very little on delivery and support.

AFAIK Starlink's bandwidth bottleneck is on customer per area given, which means they are saturated in some hotsopts like SV or maybe London but not saturated in less dense areas.

Besides, they are building infrastructure all the time and even if there's a backlog today they might have seen some softness in the demand that can lead to losing out on competitors down the road.

It's very unlikely that the price change is altruistic.
Racket-Rhombus: To Sexp or Not to Sexp?
"Incredible things" ? There are so many potential fields. I would presume that "incredible" does not include yet another advertising channel, e.g. Meta/Alphabet/Amazon.

What about detection and treatment of various cancers; advancing the state of DNA techniques for better treatments, detection of diseases; new forms of energy storage, e.g. flow-batteries; assist conservation, e.g. detecting illegal deforestation and implementing rapid response; track and rescue endangered species; etc.

Being a good programmer is table stakes. It is your knowledge and work within a specialized domain that leads to incredible accomplishments.

Explore and enjoy the adventure.

F1 isn’t even about max performance, it’s about trying to maintain an element of driver skill as a factor of outcomes. It’s why they outlawed the Williams continuously variable transmission (CVT). A lot in F1 is done to maintain the suspense/excitement of a race for the TV audience.
With some exceptions, hardware prefetch works in terms of ascending accesses. To learn if a particular CPU will prefetch for descending access, benchmarking is essential. Best to use soft prefetch calls if performance is critical.
i only have a passing curiosity in these projects personally.

can someone in the field explain why this has exploded recently? there seems to be a lot of these tools released recently (text to image) was there a major breakthrough? a new idea that pushed everyone forward? a recent sharing of talent between groups?

edit: just another thought, are they just being posted to HN now, i don't see a date on the page for when it was released . I also don't know the general term to find a list of all of these to find all the release dates
I earn a fair bit more than my partner. We have a joint account we pay into for groceries, mortgage, bills etc that I pay a higher % into for day to day / household stuff. This covers off the "required" payments.

We do this so she has enough left from her salary to do what she wants to do (save, shop, splurge), keeping independence is important so we otherwise keep finances separate for the most part and neither of us really needs to be involved what the other person buys (unless it's a big purchase for the house (sofas, beds etc) where we will jointly buy it (again % difference) - everything is considered "ours" in the house). The law would consider it that way anyway.

Works well for us, we both get to "treat" each other which feels better when its your own money for a meal or a break away etc, she treats me often too, if it was one big pool of money I am not sure it would feel the same, besides no one needs to be questioned over a new $1000 pair of shoes or why they spent $850 on cologne haha

We don't budget other than required expenditure, we don't have kids (nor are intending to have them), we save a lot and spend a lot - its there to enjoy and you can't take it with you :)

>Presumably the same things that cause your "native" population to stop reproducing eventually affects your immigrants after a generation or so, so while it can definitely slow the population decline, it's not a full solution.

I think it could be a full solution. In theory there could be 2 populations, a slow population and a fast population, and the fast population continually donates people to the slow population via immigration to sustain it. The worry would be if some idea from the slow population infects the fast population and causes it to slow down.
>Perceiving a pressure difference from 6 floors of elevation does not seem legit.

I generally don't notice it myself, but if you do the math (office building floor height averages ~14 feet/4.27 metres), six stories of altitude difference would change ambient air pressure by ~.3kPa.

Humans can detect very small (much smaller than .3kPa) changes in air pressure, although some folks are more sensitive than others.

Great comment. Your absolutely right. I'm often personally far too pessimistic about the future (climate change, nuclear annihilation, etc). There is no real benefit to such pessimism.
Then find a secret that was forgotten and blow it up to larger than life proportions. Or solve the problem of endlessly waiting at a traffic light waiting it to go green when the streets have been empty for a minute. Think of how much fuel that would save.

Find a bite sized solution for something incredible but before you do, imagine ways in which it can make a return to your wallet.

Realize that these sorts of things take a very long time to discover but you will know exactly what it is when you find it if you know there is no alternative to it.

The vast majority of my interest led no where but one did lead and it was the discovery of a popular textbook written in the 1800s which happens to be popular today. I used the material for an app that was pretty successful for a number of years.

Self publishing is tricky.

Perhaps find something like a bread and butter throw together thing. It can be amazing that people have learned how to turn a server in their bedroom into a 2k per month source of cash. Then you will have total freedom to explore any avenue, no matter how unlikely it is to pull it off.
You do know the US government and governments around the world have straight sterilized women before; without their knowledge?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sterilization_of_Native_Amer...

I’m not even saying that nefarious.

Have you heard of planned parenthood? The government gives them money to aid in reducing fertility. Particularly in populations that would find children “burdensome”.

It’s not a stretch to consider the idea the government, organization or company might knowingly hide side effects of something detrimental. Alternative the government could say, urge it’s medical staff to hand out “the pill”. Schools already urge students to use condoms and give them out in some cases.

Just as an example: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/oregon-school-district-oks-teac...

You’d have to be a different kind of crazy to think it’s not possible lol
How do you get the smartest people to want to work with you when you are not as smart as them? The smartest people are all generally very successful and they themselves have wide-ranging preoccupations. What if the smartest people you know are decidedly interested in a different field than you do?

Of course it is. Lack of balance is invariable damaging to humans. OP is going to receive plenty of good programming and technical information in this thread. At least one person needs to remind them to have a life as well.
Yeah, but the phrasing seems likely to mislead. It sort of implies that a Turing-complete type system can express all truths.

Addiction, and specifically OUD is complicated, but there is real evidence that genetics plays a sizeable role in the physiological dependence side of it.

However the main risk factor for trying and then abusing opioids, for example, is trauma, typically but not only in childhood. Basically, it’s both nature and nurture, as most things are. Where the percentages lie for both, I don’t think we know yet.
Have fun. Don’t let anyone set limits on what you can or can’t do. Follow your curiosity, no matter how impractical it seems. If your goal is to really be the best programmer and not the best paid programmer, eschew the typical path and figure out how to earn money to fund your research (freelance, contract gigs, anything that gives you freedom with your time). Discipline yourself to take care of the money work and then do as you please. Above all else: write and teach as you go. Doing this significantly improves your ability to see flaws in your process/thinking and move much faster.

Last but not least, what my dad taught me: don’t let anyone steal your joy.
One of the contributor to low fatalities-per-mile was congestion, my guess is that while miles driven per year increased every year average/median driving speed decreased due to traffic up to 2020 when congestion decreased for the first time.

In my reading of interviews, biographies of many of the foregoing, I don't recall a single one having the goal of being "the best". Most certainly not in the sense that we talk about sports stars.

In my understanding, each and every person on your list was passionate about solving some problem, extending their knowledge, sharing their learning with others. The recognition followed their contributions.
Do you really think genetics don't matter? Depending on the study, IQ heritability is between 60-80%.

Also that Java’s type system is… not great.

So you have to put in a lot of effort (especially if it was before java 8, to say nothing of Java 5) and you just… don’t get much out of it.

Even more so given the syntactic overhead of defining java types before records (or without Lombok), to say nothing of the performance cost.
We are adding the search functionality. It will be there within 1-2 weeks :) Stay tuned! Thanks for the suggestion.
