That doesn't sound like something we'd do, or say. Which of my posts are you claiming to quote here? https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que....

People post all sorts of things about why we supposedly banned them. The one thing they never do is provide links, for the obvious reason that readers could then see what we actually did and make up their own minds.

They usually also include wild claims about agendas we supposedly hold, since if we banned them because of that, then it couldn't possibly have been because they were breaking the site guidelines.

In my city (Boulder), e-bikes are essentially banned on bike-friendly trails. A bunch of 70+ year olds are mounting a campaign to get that overturned, because they want to be out there on ebikes and access the trails like everyone else, even if their physical capabilities are a little bit lower than younger people.

Also, you can put "car seats" on many cargo bikes. You can tote around a kid safely on an ebike starting from about 1 year of age.

How many people do you suspect aren't capable of riding an e-bike? Clearly there will always be some people it doesn't work for, but that is pretty much the case for any kind of accomodation.
AI is not a "force multiplier" in any literal or semi-literal way. Having an mediocre version of an image isn't something that gives an artist much of a leg up on producing a good version.

If you want something a diffusion model can produce, you can get it for nearly free. If you want something significantly better, you have to pay an artist significant money for it.
Did you manage to do it? I (also) failed miserably.

It would be great if they added a Github actions script to perform automated builds on each commit or PR merge.
No but I get what they mean. If you view the Earth as a point system, you can use the general expression of gravity between two objects and you will indeed find an extremely elongated ellipse as a solution. Considering a parabola can be viewed as an ellipse with a focal point at infinity, I’m guessing the difference between the two solutions will be so small as to be negligible. They both depend on intentional inexactitudes (g is not a fixed vector, the earth is not a point system) which don’t matter at the scale. I wouldn’t personally view the elliptical solution as truer but I see how you could.
SharedArrayBuffer: so exciting they listed it twice.
They are better than one single commit with 100s of changed files. Especially when you are debugging things and want to know why exactly some line was changed in that way and by whom.
ECN purely allows the sending CCA to modulate sending rate before packet loss. Buffers filling up does not change, what changes is how early the sender reduces their window sizes and whether packet loss occurs before then.
Yes, it's easy to dispute the history he's trying to establish here, because he's fixated on one particular legal aspect of it which happens to support his (much broader) argument.
Meanwhile my friend here I’m the US has to wait until may 2023 to see a dermatologist.

Long wait times exist in the US as well, we just like to pretend that it’s a socialized medicine thing.
>For artists who continue to paint, or use other physical means of expression through base materials and sell them as physical works, this entire AI art surge remains largely irrelevant in a practical sense. A buyer or patron who wants real, physical art will still need and want real, physical art, and I don't see an AI imitating much of that easily any time soon.

Giclée prints on canvas are already very popular with artists. Printing into physical medium is already trivial whether the art is produced by human or AI.

> And to push for individualistic behavior when you think that your society is disintegrating seems to just accelerate any problems that may exists.

This can not be understated. Coming from a country that would be considered "Eastern European", there is an astounding amount of individualism pushed in schools, and yet, it seems that the most prosperous and "equal" countries take the opposite approach.

What I cherish the most from my time in Scandinavian Universities is how much emphasis there is on collective work. Those who work in group will always achieve and learn a lot more than those who do it alone, unless the latter are truly exceptional.
> it made me realize that "indoor parks" are kinda not a thing, but maybe they should be. particularly in places with a lot of rain or cold

Or heat.
I had split 3/4 and 5/6 classes, where you stayed with the same teacher and students for both years, with either an older or a younger cohort with you to fill out the other grade

Theres at least one benefit outside of having a good teacher for two years - - the teacher starts the second year with context about your skills and what needs improvement. Eg. They can spend the summer knowing how many students are ahead and plan relevant coursework

The downside was around not interacting with the students who have the other teacher much for a couple years. Much harder to retain those friends
It's more creepy when it's human beings you're analyzing than non humans.
Not true.

Take University of Washington for example. They ask for a "diversity essay". They define diversity as "diverse in cultural backgrounds, experiences, values and viewpoints." [1]

Dismissing academic philosophy as a whole with a link to a PG article is possibly the most HackerNews thing I've ever seen.
I've worked with Python for years, and Go (golang) turned out to be everything I wanted Python to be.

Admittedly, Go doesn't have enforced whitespace, but it has standardized code format, enforced by the `gofmt` tool, so in 99% of cases it looks as good as Python. The syntax is somewhat similar - there is a lot of type inference and duck typing, yet the type system is still static (which removes a majority of type errors), with opt-in dynamic typing through `interface{}` (the empty interface, which is implicitly implemented by every type) and type switches.

Go is compiled to native code, and can be statically linked, making it perfect for containerization, since you don't need any dependencies whatsoever - just copy the executable into a scratch container and be done with it.

It's also very fast, and incorporates an async-by-default runtime which is scalable to an arbitrary number of CPU cores out of the box. Imagine asyncio, but multithreaded, and without the async/await keyword littering - that's Go runtime.

My favorite feature of all - the `select` keyword, which waits for a fixed set of channels (similar to queues, but lightweight), and receives/sends a value from/to the first channel that has another goroutine (similar to thread, but lightweight) sending/receiving a value to/from it. It's a very useful feature for building event-driven systems.

Sorry for the sales pitch. I just really like Go :)
Resistive heater with a cheeky twist!
It is garden variety nepotism. If it was the CTO's wife's nephew, the CTO's allies wouldn't have argued for a "woker" candidate instead, they'd have pushed very hard on some other basis like the "intellectual diversity" of his different experience or his solid-but-irrelevant academic track record or his supposed credentials as a self-taught programmer or his "leadership potential" or his "strong recommendation from a colleague".

The difference is that if the under qualified relative was justified for one of those reasons people would be less likely to insist the solution to this very obvious nepotism was not to broaden the hiring pool beyond the CTO's relatives, but to chuck all the company's initiatives aimed at attracting career changers, academic-high achievers, autodidacts, leaders or referrals in the bin...
Appeals to Paul Graham are endemic to this website, for reasons lost to the mists of time.
I think more just the fall into "We're having trouble scaling performance with sane power usage, so just amp up the power usage" as to what was referenced as the Pentium 4 strategy. What you described is called binning and as far as I'm aware everyone does it (for example nvidia's founders editions tend to be the higher quality chips, causing 3rd party cards to not always overclock as well as older generations).
This article and comments make me feel better. I wanted a job scheduler (not so different ti a job queue I guess). Heard bad things about Luigi, good things about AirFlow. But after spending half a day trying to grok it, I was terrified. I think I gave up when I had to choose between Postgres and MySQL to create user accounts, just to get started.

I wrote my own in half a day, then spent a few days total tinkering with it too, so far so good.
I would love some PSU metering ability, to see actual data about how much juice my PC is pulling down. Other than getting a kill a watt meter, how could one go about this?
I think that there are some features which can be said to be objectively more difficult than others. For example, all other things being equal, a language that had a larger phonemic inventory than a second would be objectively harder. Now do note that many comparisons means that it is easier on one feature while being harder on another: for example, Chinese has fewer phonemes than English does, but Chinese is tonal whereas English is not, and this makes it difficult to say if Chinese is (at least in terms of phonetics) easier or harder than English.

While it is probably possible to tease out some sense of an objective scale for the phonetics or orthography of a language, when it comes to the grammatical features of a language, I don't think there is a realistic hope of identifying any reasonable scale of easier/harder languages. What makes languages easier or harder with respect to grammar is going to be less driven by absolute metrics of the grammar has this difficult or easy feature and more by the relative metric of does it have grammatical features known or unknown to the listener.
Relentless Refactoring is a great tool, but one that is often stymied by faddish behaviors like micro-services/modules. Small projects tend not to have that problem and so make a better petri dish. Of course then you have to take your knowledge out of the 'lab' and apply it in vivo...

A lot of our (and in particular, my) best features come from of relocating the boundaries between things, to make space for features that weren't considered in the original design. With monolithic systems we see this late in the lifecycle in the form of Conway's Law. If you stick this problem in front of the CI/CD mirror, it's painful to face. CI/CD argues that if something is difficult we should do it all the time so that it's routine (or stop doing it entirely).

However there's a conspicuous lack of tools and techniques to make that practical. The only one I really know of is service retirement (replace 2-3 services with 2 new, refactored services), and we don't have static analysis tools that can tell us deterministically when we can remove an API. We have to do it empirically, which is fundamentally on par with println debugging.
How come every time systemic or structural racism is brought up, the discussion instantly pivots to it being "divisive" and the real battle being class consciousness or something.

Yeah a block of light in front of the car which overlaps with the lane merge projection from grandpa who left his blinker on conflicting with someone's navigation projection who needs to be in the right lane yesterday conflicting with someone's broken projection for pedestrians on a stroad sounds like a fucking hellscape.

People can't use blinkers correctly or keep their headlights and tailights in working order. I'm sure expensive light projections that link with software and a onboard computer that was out of date the day it was made is going to work splendidly.

>involving idiots invading safe stopping distances

What makes you think this will stop them?
That's all good and well, but how come I don't experience conflicts? I install a lot of packages all the time. In my experience, it's not that big of an issue and all I wanted to do was provide an additional data point.

Plus, all of the advocates of using plain venv miss OP's point: it doesn't add an executable to their PATH. So much for giving cruel advice. There are many packages that I want to use system wide (or at least in every shell), like powerline in vim. Having to activate each environment manually before running an executable does not scale at all. Recommending venv outside of wrappers like pipx or peotry won't help with that. And that's my point: Before adding needless complexity, just try `pip install X`. If doesn't work, you can always fall back to pipx/poetry/etc.
I thought jerky and lunch meats was shown to be due to the nitrites.
The part about building on top of Postgres… the author does talk about something similar to pub sub, not abusing a table to sort tasks by create_date, correct?

Because I’ve built my own “task queue” on top of “SELECT * FROM tasks WHERE done = 0 ORDER BY create_date LIMIT 1;” and have also seen others do it. Just don’t do it like this. You’ll get spikes of tasks and then your table will be filled faster than your worker can finish the tasks. Just use something else.

I am very skeptical the effect would be meaningful relative to diet/exercise.

We have never been more seditary, and sugar has never been more a part of our diet.

When my mother moved in and we started going on daily walks, she lost a pound a week for one year. When she injured her foot and stopped, with no diet change throughout the entire time, she gained it all back in a couple months.

I would be surprised if people gained weight with no diet change and introduced mostly standing or walking throughout the day into their life.

> art as illustration, or stock images (what SD puts in danger)

I'd say the opposite. Seeing how shit SD was at generating placeholder products for a demo, and how it fails at stuff like proportions, depth, etc. the only good applications I've seen so far is abstract/concept art where you suspend disbelief because of the setting.

I think abstract art is lower hanging fruit. "High art" will be impacted as long as someone spins it into a story, it mostly reduces into social circles and selling bullshit to eachother anyway.
> The children I teach have almost no curiosity, and what little they do have is transitory

Maybe kids are just not curious about what the author teaches? As a parent, I have to admit that kids are not necessarily curious about what we value. My kids are not curious about STEM, at least not yet. They are, however, are very curious about how to use TNT in minecraft, or how to learn cartwheel. It's unfortunate (or forutnate?) that not every one is born curious about STEM or any subject like their teachers or parents do.
If I'm buying a great looking and powerful laptop worth $1300, kneecapping it with ChromeOS is the last thing I'd want. This device never really made sense. Google needs to stick to the low end in this segment if they want any success.
I think they can, but they may need to evolve away from a goods marketplace and more towards entertainment centers. Most of the times we find ourselves going to a mall it’s to do something (eat out, watch a movie, engage in some kids activity) rather than to buy something.
Thats is how they get you eventually, once all alternatives have vanished.
I don't know the last time I could trust an article or even scientific paper about weight / diets / food effects.

You'd think the vast amounts of scientific papers would be conclusive, but they're constantly contradicting each other or people uncover ulterior motives, like having shares in a questionable weight loss company.

In some of these cases, the source material uses inappropriate sample sizes or has other similar problems, or references other studies that had problems like this.

I bet if you type "X is the reason for obesity," you will find information for any noun.

Here's a partial list of topics off the top of my head from the best of my ability that I believe have been blasted as the definitive one-and-only "root cause" of obesity: [Sugar, Aspartame, Plastic, Butter, Margarine, Carbs, Milk, Bread, Fruit, Nuts, Phones, The Internet, TV, Video Games, Your job in general, Canned Products, Gluten, Pollution, Global Warming, Cars, Cheese, Alcohol, No Exercise, Cardio-only exercise, Blue Light (from electronics in general)]
> I am honestly shocked that Apple haven't fixed it. It means that they themselves don't use their own product

Because MacOS has been a continuous parade of "useless, distracting and disruptive dribbble-level eye candy over functionality".

It is a simple language, being just an IDL (no expressions, no logic, no state, no memory model, etc).

However, you might be surprised about the room for ambiguity. For example, there are several mistakes in the grammars on the official developer site. And there is no place on the developer site that, for example, clearly explains how option names are formulated and interpreted. Even the way that relative references are resolved is not thoroughly described; it is probably the most complicated part of the spec because coherence/consistency wasn't keenly considered when the reference implementation in protoc was devised (https://www.protobuf.com/docs/language-spec#relative-referen...).

So if you wanted to write a tool for the language, one that could correctly parse and understand a source file, without the details in this spec that tool will almost certainly be incorrect and disagree with how protoc parses and understands the same source.
LiveText on iOS/MacOS is one of the best features they’ve ever added. So incredibly useful.
Could just broadcast that info to cars around, ADS-B-style, then put it on HUD. Probably pretty hard to make it secure tho

I'd love to see info "the car in front of me will be taking right soon, or exact speed just displayed via HUD on top of the car.
Apple never invented anything. They always took something that already was nichely popular (Nokia's smartphones, Creative's MP3 players, PCs), then improved upon those things just enough to make them palatable to the masses, logo included. It's not a mystery why they've recently invested heavily in AR and electric transportation: these are two newish hardware things that still badly need to be improved upon. Unfortunately, all the money in the world cannot replace Steve Job's balls, wild flair and decisiveness. Sadly, lawyers and MBAs have taken over Apple since he departed. Other products and things newly invented are just not quite niche enough to mandate an Apple R&D budget. At any rate, Apple's still massively selling to post modern urban peasants, so fear not, they'll be around until the rise of the next great ballsy marketer.
Thanks for the suggestion! I've known we should be submitting our verification problems to smtcomp, but hadn't thought about minizinc challenges

Our current model is here https://github.com/draperlaboratory/VIBES/blob/main/resource... We don't have any parameter files committed to the repo, they are generated by the compiler. It has been on my todo list for a while to completely refactor this model. Currently, the constraint solve can take 10s on our hardest problems so far, which would be nice to get down, but not our biggest blocker.
> I guess I’m going to have to start spelling everything out and including every single detail because some of you like to assume whatever you must in order to fit your narrative.

That's the unfortunately thing with some folks' responses. They question every interpretation. As to why they exceed the bounds of reasonable discussion and make everything a dissection because they are missing some key detail they have trouble clarifying seems to be besides the point.

I appreciated your story, and have seen similar experiences.
If most buyers buy ahead like Mr Smith, then the liquidity in the spot market can dry up, especially in times of supply constraint.

Mr Smith and many people like him might happily sell on his steel for 10x the price he paid for it to someone desperate for some steel.

Yet, as things stand now, whenever there is severe market disruption, you frequently find goods aren't available for any price. Thats simply because Mr Smith and people like him continue to take delivery of the steel he ordered 6 months ago, and doesn't actually need right now, because he isn't aware of the guy down the street who really reeds it right away and will pay a lot.

If all goods are always 'for sale', then goods can be allocated efficiently to whoever needs them most.
> And to push for individualistic behavior when you think that your society is disintegrating seems to just accelerate any problems that may exists.

I don't think individualism and participation in community are necessarily at odds with one another. Communities of choice can be really powerful and meaningful in peoples' lives. I think the tricky part is figuring out how to equip young people to find and build communities in a society that no longer provides it by default.
I'm surprised with the emphasis on new features that such old features were highlighted. The 'say' function was added in 2007. Signatures were added in 2014, though to be fair they didn't stop emitting an "experimental" warning until this latest release.

I mostly agree with you. I think the concept of race is one of the tools, wielded by the wealthy, to keep the rest of us divided. But, ignoring that we have hundreds of years of government policies that favored whites over non-whites isn't addressing the past wrongs that got us here.
