What is the killer feature of Crystal?

Say, for Go it's utter simplicity and easy concurrency.

For Rust, it is the many safety guarantees on top of high performance.

For Python, it is the ease of learning and interactive fiddling on top of a colossal ecosystem.

Etc. What sets Crystal apart?

Another commenter put it well, disassociate.

This is REALLY hard when you built the thing you are selling by the way.

This is the main reason why it is often good to have a salesperson working with you that doesn't take the ego hit when the product is rejected, because they didn't build it themselves.

Be aware of that. It's hard and one way you can get stuck is to not find a way to get past that.
Indeed, this is a badly-written submission title.

The title, as I'm seeing it now, is "Unsubscribing from Marriott's email list requires mailing in a letter"

Also, the text of the tweet does not require mailing in a letter:

> Unsubscribing from Marriott's email list by writing a letter and sending it in the mail

You _can_ if you want, but you don't have to.
Is it just me, or is this article really spammy and low-quality? It's full of buzzwords like "advanced knowledge in cutting-edge Machine Learning solutions" and "completely new paradigms for enhanced creativity". Meanwhile it has no technical details about what their model actually does or how it works. It basically reads like an ad.

(Also the model still needs help from human experts to fix its formulas, so the "better than professional humans" title that someone choose when posting to HN is a lie.)

It’s mostly the type system. Ocaml is the same. Static typing, type inference and the easiness of introducing complex types really help when it comes to fitting the code together. Beginners tend to think that "if it compiles it works" and it feels that way sometimes but you lose the hubris once you are bitten by a bug complicated enough to pass though.
I think copilot is a clearer copyright violation than any of the stable diffusion projects though because code has a much narrower band of expression than images. It's really easy to look at the output of CoPilot and match it back to the original source and say these are the same. With stable diffusion it's much closer to someone remixing and aping the images than it is reproducing originals.

I haven't been following super closely but I don't know of any claims or examples where input images were recreated to a significant degree by stable diffusion.

California has a reporting requirement for all companies testing L4/5 vehicles:

https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/vehicle-industry-services/auto...

Here is a more human digestible summary:

https://thelastdriverlicenseholder.com/2022/02/09/2021-disen...

In 2021, Waymo averaged ~7,900 miles per disengagement and Cruise averaged ~41,000. In 2020, Waymo averaged ~30,000 and Cruise around 28,500.

Tesla is absent from those reports as they have deliberately declared that all of their vehicles do not even qualify as L4/5 autonomous vehicles. They have furthermore not released any 3rd party auditable metrics for any of their claims. So, from an official perspective, Tesla is infinitely worse than Waymo.

From an unofficial standpoint, we can use Youtube videos and self-reported tracking by invested fans such as here https://www.teslafsdtracker.com/

Both of those classes of unofficial metrics by positively biased groups consistently demonstrate around 10-20 miles per disengagement at max.

As Waymo averaged 8,700 last year, that makes Tesla around 400-800x worse than Waymo as of last year and around 2,000-4,000x worse than Cruise as of last year.

We can also see from the unofficial Tesla fan metrics that FSD Beta has seen no material improvement from around one year ago.

> When Joe Rando plays a song from 1640 on a violin he gets a copyright claim on Youtube. When Jane Rando uses devtools to check a website source code she gets sued.

Do you have any evidence for those claims, or anything resembling those examples?

Music copyright has long expired for classical music, and big shots are definitely not exempt from where it applies. Just look at how much heat Ed Sheeran, one of the biggest contemporary pop stars, got for "stealing" a phrase that was literally just chanting "Oh-I" a few times (just to be clear, I am familiar with the case and find it infuriating that this petty rent-seeking attempt went to trial at all, even if Sheeran ended up being completely cleared, but to great personal distress as he said afterwards).

And who ever got sued for using dev tools? Is there even a way to find that out?
Code is much easier to do that because the avenues for expression are significantly limited compared to just creating an image. For it to be useful copilot has to produce compiling and reasonably terse and understandable code. The compiler in particular is a big bottle neck to the range of the output.
Memes generally would not fall under the category of non-copyrighted material; they’re most of the time extremely copyrighted material just being used without permission. And even a wholly original work an artist sarcastically puts a Getty watermark and then licensed under Creative Commons or something would fall into very murky territory – the Getty watermark itself is the intellectual property of Getty. The original image author might plead fair use as satire, but satirical intentions aren’t really a defence available to DALL-E.

So even if we’re assuming these were wholly original works that the author placed under something like a Creative Commons license, the fact that it incorporated an image they had no rights to would at the very least create a fairly tangled copyright situation that any really rigorous evaluation of the copyright status of every image in the training set would tend to argue towards rejecting as not worth the risk of litigation.

But the more likely scenario here is that they did minimal at best filtering of the training set for copyrights.

> I'm not sure sure that originality is that different between a human and a neural network. That is to say that what a human artist is doing has always involved a lot of mixing of existing creations.

I disagree, but this is a debate worth having.

This is why I disagree: humans don't copy just copyrighted material.

I am in the middle of developing and writing a romance short story. Why? Because my writing has a glaring weakness: characters, and romance stands or falls on characters. It's a good exercise to strengthen that weakness.

Anyway, both of the two people in the (eventual) couple developed from my real life, and not from any copyrighted material. For instance, the man will basically be a less autistic and less selfish version of myself. The woman will basically be the kind of person that annoys me the most in real life: bright, bubbly, always touching people, etc.

There is no copyrighted material I am getting these characters from.

In addition, their situation is not typical of such stories, but it does have connections to my life. They will (eventually) end up in a ballroom dance competition. Why that? So the male character hates it. I hate ballroom dance during a three-week ballroom dancing course in 6th grade, the girls made me hate ballroom dancing. I won't say how, but they did.

That's the difference between humans and machines: machines can only copyright and mix other copyrightable material; humans can copy real life. In other words, machines can only copy a representation; humans can copy the real thing.

Oh, and the other difference is emotion. I've heard that people without the emotional center of their brains can take six hours to choose between blue and black pens. There is something about emotions that drives decision-making, and it's decision-making that drives art.

When you consider that brain chemistry, which is a function of genetics and previous choices, is a big part of emotions, then it's obvious that those two things, genetics and previous choices, are also inputs to the creative process. Machines don't have those inputs.

Those are the non-religious reasons why I think humans have more originality than machines, including neural networks.
Name a religion that doesn't actively oppress and break people and isn't also built on a long history of exploitation.
I had it to correct my short sightedness and it was amazing. 5 years later I am still astounded by the clarity of vistas that would previously have been fuzzy. It was, without a doubt, the best money I’ve ever spent on myself and I wish I’d done it 10 years earlier. Three of my siblings had it at varying times as well and all reported the same happiness.

My father in law just had his far sightedness corrected which is a more intense procedure (replace the lens). He had inflammation that lasted two months and he and his doctors weren’t happy with the results (seemed he had traded far sightedness for near sightedness) so they did laser and now he is shouting from the rooftops with happiness as to the result.

This is why I highlighted the The written goal of Wikipedia. It is not peoples achievement or work that qualify them for articles. It is the secondary sources that write about people that qualify those people for articles, regardless if those people deserve it or not.

If there is a lot of secondary sources then there should very likely be an article. That is after all the purpose of Wikipedia.

There was a site linked here yesterday, https://www.thc.org/segfault, that lets you set up disposable root servers - and they also have persistent Tor hidden service (.onion) hosting built in.

(Or you could self-host an .onion, but this approach has someone else do all the fiddly technical bits for you.)

Both has it's advantages and disadvantages depending on the use case.

If you primarily develop user facing applications (web applications, line of business applications etc.) C# is a good choice. There are a lot of companies (including Microsoft) using it for these use cases, so there are good ready made solutions, tutorials, documentations for the common features that you'll require.

If you primarily develop "system" level software (Docker, Hashicorp products etc), Go is a good choice for the same reasons.

This is a bit of a generalization as both languages can be used for both use cases, and you need to take a lot of different things into account on deciding which one to focus your attention on (familiarity, job availability and many other things). As always, it's about the tradeoffs you are willing to make.

Keeping that in mind, it would be a safe bet for me to say the a Docker alternative in the future won't be developed in C#, and the some big business application won't be developed in Go.

Another thing I want to add: The decision to learn a language doesn't need to be an 'OR' decision. Learn both, and use the one that fits your requirements best.

First, I'm not sure if Haskell is that popular in that space. But I'd say there's a combination of factors.

Python/C++ come with their issues and when starting a project from scratch (e.g. a blockchain), there's more flexibility in the choice of language. In the blockchain field, throwing buzzwords has proven useful to gather money and make some projects stand out (functional programming, formal verification...). Also academics love these language, so starting a project in Haskell/OCaml can get you contributions from academia, possibly some big names joining your team. And of course, strongly typed languages with a clean semantics give you more safety which is important in some fields.

Love this. When I was a kid, my friend and I used to visit radio and TV stores to scrounge old radio chasses just like this. We take them home, not to repair them, but to scavenge them for the parts. We'd use these big ass soldering irons or guns to remove the components, pull the tubes, and remove all the pots and other mechanical parts. Once we had pulled everything we could, the rest would go into the trash. All the parts would go into separate storage boxes by type and by value.

Why did we do this? Well, we told ourselves we were going to build some ham radio equipment. Of course, we never did and all the parts eventually got scrapped but when you're 10 years old and summer days lasted forever, it was fun way to spend a few hours.
Have you ever looked at how long it takes to get a building permit in one of those high-rent areas? Years, if you get it. And millions of dollars in plans, approvals and preparations. God forbid if you must involve some union people.

We’ve outlawed construction. Any other factor besides this is far far behind.

> to sort

But into what categories are they sorting? What if they are mostly measuring who is good at taking a test?

At my kids high school, they were in a program where they got to write a whole bunch of practice tests. From test-to-test, they did better and better. Some of the tests were close enough in time that their knowledge didn’t significantly change, but their scores improved. I attribute that to learning answers to questions that pop up frequently and to being less anxious after writing the nth practice exam.

Both of my kids did great at the tests eventually.
The problem is that YouTube AI thinks your recording is the same as every other recording, because it doesn't understand the difference between composition and recording.
I would imagine the root problem here is people taking copyrighted code, pasting it in their project and disregarding the license. To me this seems common, especially when it comes to toy, test and hobby projects.

I don't see how copilot or similar tools can solve this problem without vetting each project.
This already exists and at least one group has established contracts with groups like P&G and has recipes being created and implemented.

This take doesn’t make sense. The goal never was to make up for centuries of inequality (as if we could - that’s going to be of little help to the disadvantaged women, they are dead now) or punish modern men for a past they had nothing to do with. The goal is equality, period.

Creating a world where men are disadvantaged in a mirror situation would be an abject failure. Positive bias is good as a bootstrap because feminine role models are a necessity for young girls to be able to identify with someone in the field and the situation was so unbalanced something had to be done to seed the field.

But in an equal playfield, women don’t need help to stand for themselves. At some point, we will have to stop artificially advantaging them and recognising this point is important.
