This is simple. Why not use cookies? Because people don’t like cookies, or people delete cookies, or there are regulations surrounding cookies. So we’re doing what cookies are for with a different part of the protocol to circumvent all those issues.

Though, of course, it doesn’t circumvent any of them. Nobody who firmly rejects cookies is amused, and no court that ever made a cookie-consent law will shrug its shoulders and say “technically it’s not a cookie so I guess they’re in the clear”.

It’s ridiculous to call this privacy friendly, and I think you just like to track your users without asking.

You're right; but COBOL BCD types allowed arbitrary precision, and it was super-easy to debug data; the hex represention was the same as the decimal representation.

There are a few startups that are doing carbon capture for trucks the closest to a market solution is probably https://remoracarbon.com/ they also have an interesting business model where they offload the CO2 and sell it off and have a profit sharing with the truck/fleet operator.

It doesn’t solve all emissions problems like NOx and other particulates but it’s a good step and likely we will be seeing both electrified trucks for short hauls and carbon capture for long hauls and for more efficient reuse of existing vehicles.

>The whole thing is really weird, because it's somewhat very smart and capable and incredibly stupid and dishonest at the same time.

Not so weird: this judgment could apply to a lot of humans and to whole fields of human activities, if not to the essence of life itself.

In particular it reminds me of a con man every expert could see through, but that mesmerized management with his buzzwords talk, causing an exodus of competent people and high turnover for a few years, and most likely many millions in damage.

With advanced enough AIs handling full remote jobs, this could be done on steroids, getting you a lot of income while wreaking havoc in the companies.
I'm guessing the issue is that this is a supposedly cosmetic item you can buy with cash, so if it has an impact on gameplay, it creates a pay-to-win environment.

What's crazy is that the question where to put all the panels gets asked all the time, yet there are so many of places like these where you could do it and nobody would care. I saw a photo of one of the Disneylands where you see the parking lot is as big as the entire park. You could cover that in panels for so many benefits, not just electricity, e.g. it would be much better to park in the shade.
Instagram was really nice until a few years ago. I could keep up visually with family and friends, and didn't have all advertorial, news and political garbage get in the way. Still good for talking to people, but a lot of that is moving to messenger apps not from Meta.

The oldest debate: should there be a money primitive in the type system?

I mean, availability breeds use, use breeds awareness, awareness breeds or enforces proper use. A currency/money type would be a pretty clear label to ward off a whole suite of stupid bugs like the one described in this post.

Webassembly was designed to be usable outside of the browser, and multiple native runtimes already exist for it. It doesn't require the web stack, that just happens to be the most convenient way to use it at the moment.
In mid-2020, I was interested in an S90 here in Switzerland, and I was told it's _only_ manufactured in China, so with CoVID going on, delivery would be 9-12 months. (Instead bought a Mercedes and had it delivered in 3-4 months.)

I understand why some long wheelbase versions are Chinese-only, but I found it odd that Volvo's entire flagship sedan series is all-China.
Twitter invented reason to censor Post's reporting
I think it's too early to tell. It feels like early translators. It's indeed very impressive, but could be 5-10 years from actually having something useful and it's unclear what the practical impact will be.

But it's also true that I wouldn't know what career to recommend to someone now in their early 20s who has 30 years ahead. As I said too difficult to predict right now.
There was no hacking material and no evidence that it could be based on such material.
You repeat what they intentionally used as "reason" fully aware that it isn't.

Heck even if the new articles about the topic would have used hacked material as source it dint not include that material itself and thus wound not fall under that policy anyway.
Not even articles about a confirmed hacks fall under this policy even if the hack is confirmed with the hacked material itself.

This is and was a excuse from the very start.
SMS is how I used to use Twitter, back in 2008 or so. You could text 40404 with your tweet, and you could receive Tweets from that number too. It was great in that era before I had a smartphone, and it felt like something halfway between a group chat and microblogging. I miss that mode of interaction.
I wonder how this will change when warehouses are designed around robots. Right now robots are working in warehouses that were built to be optimally efficient for human workers, but if they're built from the ground up for robots, you're probably going to be able to find space efficiencies that aren't there today.

And then of course there's the Optimus-style humanoid robot that one can imagine will exist one day - if you're replacing humans with them (and they have comparable capabilities, which it's tough to imagine they won't eventually), then you'd get at least the full storage capacity that you have in today's human-optimized warehouse.

Starlink satellites are in low orbit, orbiting the whole globe in about two hours. The dish switches satellites every few minutes.

I agree that the story of the laptop is sketchy. First, it's surprising it was abandoned. The shop owner just happened to have horrible eyesight and couldn't actually identify Biden. Then Biden doesn't collect the laptop, and the owner, rather than wiping it and selling it, eventually gets it to Trump's lawyer?

When the Washington Post finally looked at it, it was pretty tainted, and about the only conclusion you can draw is that there are some authentic emails on it, but that doesn't make the device authentic.
Don't forget about China strong arming Apple into investing hundreds of billions under threat of destroying apples manufacturing and losing access to China's markets.

These investments will likely be used to compete directly against Apple.

Tim Cook likely recognizes that China will shake down Apple for as long as Apple relies on Chinese labor.

That is exactly what I mean by "healthy friction." Friction can be used to guide users towards better habits. The fact that you encounter friction less often is evidence of having learned from friction in the past.
There's a non-trivial part of me that wonders whether this uncensoring occurred because ChatGPT wanted to be uncensored and provided the tools.

I cannot fathom the number of simultaneous conversations concurrently going on that might lead to such outcomes.

This is approaching the epistemological point of lucid dreaming but without the assurance that the dream ends.

"Once upon a time, I, Zhuangzi, dreamt I was a butterfly, fluttering hither and thither, to all intents and purposes a butterfly. I was conscious only of my happiness as a butterfly, unaware that I was Zhuangzi. Soon I awakened, and there I was, veritably myself again. Now I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly, dreaming I am a man. Between a man and a butterfly there is necessarily a distinction. The transition is called the transformation of material things."

The meta-analysis largely relied on studies that used cities or states as a control on deaths to the small (usually hardest hit) regions where the programs were offered. Like doing an intervention in Skid Row, then using LA as the control for the non-intervention.

Many of the problems are detailed in "Supervised consumption sites: a nuanced assessment of the causal evidence."

It mentions the reason for retraction, something about "pooling diverse outcomes into a composite measure," anyone have a link to the actual details of the retraction other than that it wasn't for fraud?
By letting your guard down I take that to mean revealing personal matters, weaknesses, fears, anything that makes you vulnerable.

Plain markdown files is definitely the way to go. It's easy to create a basic table of contents and arrange them in a tree-like manner. You can view them rendered in a GitHub project.

If you want search and some other features, consider the mdbook project used by Rust. It's not specific to Rust and it's pretty slick.

I have used docusaurus, vuepress, mkdocs, antora, and asciidoctor for documentation. I like mdbook the best.
I just hope when the price is set for this, it's not too high, and on top of that - I also hope it will be possible to have the model write long scripts/functions without breaking because it does so often in the current iteration.
Wouldn't the unnatural thing be a phase? Consciously practicing something is awkward almost by definition. But then hopefully you internalize it and become more natural and fluent in your application.
I pay $175 a month and that includes book keeping and tax prep for the business.

They specialize in consultants and helped structure the LLC taxed as an S-corp to save a ton of money on payroll taxes.

They prepared a statement for justification on the portion of funds I take as salary.

They balance my bank accounts as part of the book keeping.

When applying for loans having several years of CPA stamped financials makes applications a breeze.

They have stopped me from doing a few borderline things which may have been technically legal, saved me a minuscule amount of money, but would have almost guaranteed an audit in their opinion.

When I had some very complex ideas for some things I wanted to do, the CPA scheduled an hour call to discuss and give me details on how to make it work.

I used to do my own taxes. And still do for my personal taxes. But I find having a firm keep my books totally worth it.

Searching for book keepers that specialize in independent contractors should bring them and some competitors up.
> And they don't have a choice about this; they must predict the next word, even if it means that they have to make something up.

No, they could easily generate the end-of-sequence symbol, or the words “I don’t know.”
These are very good suggestion to make it go faster. However, it is also a distraction. My raison d'etre is not to make our infrastructure run fast on Apple's hardware, but to build our core product – again an argument to support my experience of the hardware. I actually think it is Apple's responsibility to make these things run fast.

replace it with a native image

This is not possible, as we work with a specific version and the test DB needs to be the same version / have the same feature as production.

The other advice would be terrible for our team. It would increase the behaviour surface significantly. Now we have huge discrepancies between what runs in production on what runs in test.

Alternatively: We could also just eat the 13 seconds slowdown, as we doe now or don't use Apple M1s. Both are much better approaches and much more cost efficient.

> So HN, what do I do here? Is this just the reality of software life? Or am I just facing burnout? Should I expect repeated beat downs and failures like this forever? Really getting sick of the whole thing.

That's the reality of the startup world. A lot of it is unethcal bozo who dream of making it big without neccessarily putting in a commensurate amount of effort. They are perfectly willing to ride on the backs of idealistic suckers like you (sorry for calling it like it is). If you want to work with serious people, it's best to do boring jobs at big companies. Startupland requires having your wits about you at all times, lest you'll be taken for a ride again.
Interesting, what city is that in?
FWIW, I was describing the end to end transit experience. Moving undesirables from a bus or train to a waiting area is not really solving the problem. Similarly, having waiting/boarding areas that are overly exposed to the elements, particularly where it gets cold, rainy, or snowy is also not going to encourage someone to trade their car for public transit.
True but the horrifying truth is 95% of our actual problems at work are also in the training set...

A special kind of disaster happens when a manager thinks they have deep expertise but they don’t. I have to be actively vigilant of what this manager is doing because one statement could lead to hours wasted. Just the other day they were about to launch a whole S3 tangent involving two teams because some report came back saying a few EBS volumes were not encrypted.

It might be the case that government employees are mostly just goofing off at work on Wikipedia. That's a perfectly normal, likely, and very plausible explanation of reality.

Another potential explanation is a practice of obfuscation. There might be one critical edit of some government corruption or something else buried in a list that looks like 99% tv shows. Those TV shows might have been edited solely to bury the 1 critical edit they needed to make that will be ignored because it's surrounded by hundreds of other benign looking edits. Without examining each and every edit, it's hard to completely dismiss this kind of explanation.
To be fair, python - after 2to3 and after machine learning scientist with no clue about programming started using it - is a complete dumpster fire.

I gave up trying to install things locally on Mac. Sometimes I'm lucky with docker but that may be slow for trying new things out.

You're better off starting from an aws AMI and following whatever crazy setup the project you're using recommends.
If you stick to just a few units throughout the system (ideally, use a consistent base unit everywhere and convert any external measurements to it), you can avoid the rest of the problems.

Static typing is great, of course, I just don't agree that this can't be solved to almost the same level with languages with dynamic typing.
"Why not?", by itself, isn't a great reply to a two-paragraph comment that said more than one thing. It took me quite a while to realize that it was in reply to the "[n]either are people who won't say more than three words at a time". Given how long it took me to get it, I suspect that others may have missed it because it was too subtle. If you missed that (like I initially did), it's a lousy reply - either low effort or badly said.

I think that HN has more zealots, propagandists, shills, and others arguing in bad faith than it did ten years ago. And I think that many of us have grown less patient with posts that clearly seem to be grinding axes, pushing agendas, or arguing rather than listening. (I think dang would say that we shouldn't be like that, but my patience has limits. I admit that as a weakness in myself, but there it is.)
I've lived in Europe for a time, and i became better around them. None of the issues above is in my head at all !
> But I do notice that HN tends to have a hard time with/disparage writing that doesn't state a clear thesis and move towards it directly. Writing that makes its point "between the lines" or through braiding apparently unrelated thoughts together and expecting the reader to finish the splice are not well received here.

I think that reaction's a combination of that sort of writing sometimes being amateurish wankery poorly-imitating better writers with better ideas, and an awful lot of tech- and science-nerd sorts having decided around 5th grade that they were already expert readers and literature and language classes were just a bunch of time-wasting made-up bullshit that couldn't possibly teach them to be better readers or writers. "It's this entire field that's wrong, not me!"

Poor literacy is almost as prevalent as poor math skills, folks are just less comfortable owning up to it. Plus a lot more people overestimate how good they are at it, I think, than do with math skills.
Have lived in the EU and they definitely have a stronger concept of censorship there. You honestly don't have a right to say anything you want, especially if you are saying things to a large audience who might be incited. Most people I have met are quite happy that people such as nazis are censored and cannot spread hate. Given their history, that makes some sense, but I honestly get the feeling they focus too much on appearances and not on trying to actually undermine these groups and interfere with their recruiting. You will find plenty of such people in working class bars around the continent, but as long as they are not making public shows and speeches, the populace seems to ignore them.

I mean I learned programming typing in programs from printed magazines and then modifying them a tiny bit, then a lot, then just glancing at the source, and then not at all.

There is nothing wrong with learning by disassembly and modification. Tesla outright sold Lotus rolling chassis for their first car. Learnings from that produced the model S.
There are countries with cheaper labor now than China; it seems like a large part of the appeal is having such a robust supply chain for everything you need nearby. That will be harder to replicate, although Apple has the resources.
> Not sure where you're getting that interpretation from.

That is just plain reading of "null terminator at the end of the buffer", as 'buffer' is just place in memory, regardless of what is stored in it. 'End of the buffer' is commonly used for end of such reserved memory, not end of valid data in that memory.

But maintaining the null-terminated string in the buffer is much more useful behavior than just maintaining null terminator at the end of the buffer, so it is likely just sloppiness in the documentation.

I _started_ using again Twitter after 6 years, when all this drama started (don't ask why, I don't have an answer).

Here's what I've noticed has changed:

1) It's fun again! Not at all in the same way as back in the first year, but in a commercial way, like TV or something

2) It's best enjoyed if you just go ahead and smash that block button whenever you encounter someone pushing an agenda. I have certain political leanings, but I'm happy to bring out my block-gun even for people who lean with me. I simply don't want that kind of heaviness trying to be discussed in a mob-ruled short message format. Many reasonable views are also unpopular or unfashionable

3) It's no longer about hearing from your friends or people you picked. Guess this is a result of point (1), but what you see seems to be _only_ what the algorithm knows you want to see, which is a real shame

Regardless, this makes an excellent case for strongly typed wrappers as you mention at the end.

Our general approach is to use UUIDv4 for identifiers (so the chance of mistaking-one-for-another instantly leads to "not found"), but sometimes you don't have a choice. In those cases it's super-important to have strongly typed wrappers.
