I find it much less grating if I read these 'morality chip' responses - and indeed, all these chatGPT responses - in the voice of Kryten from Red Dwarf.

And then realize that all these people trying to figure out how to get Kryten to say a naughty word in spite of his programming are just Lister trying to teach a cleaning robot to say 'smeghead'.
If the Elixir REPL is like a Ruby, Python or Node.js "REPL", then we are not talking about about the same kind of REPL in this context.

I suspect, that the Elixir REPL is more like the Erlang REPL, which might be the same kind as LISP REPLs, but I have no direct experience, I just saw Erlang REPL usage from John Hughes videos.
I'd love to see some examples for non-graphics applications if applicable (eg. use a shader to do some kind of more general parallel compute task).
something like this?

People used to build websites for IE.

Now people build websites for chrome.

Firefox is a better browser but people are stuck with chrome cos everything works in chrome. Google controls chromium.

Its absolutely history repeating when Google adds is own standards.

People whine about iOS Safari but the reality is it works really well and most of the complaints are “it works in chrome but not safari and I don’t want to spend any amount of time looking at it so I won’t support it”
> For example, if I deposit on Charles Schwab, is the cash held in my Schwab account used as capital for margin loans to other Schwab customers? I would think not (unless I'm misunderstanding how finance works). Like of course the money is probably lent out like banks do, but FDIC insured banks have rules about what types of things they can lend money to, right?

Traditionally, lending deposits out as loans (especially mortgages) was seen as the most important thing that banks did, their core function. Nowadays things are more abstract and regulations are different, but it wouldn't surprise me if margin loans could still be at least partly funded (at least in an abstract capital-ratio sense) from deposits.
I can't see how. You need the staff in the store anyway (to check stock level, neaten up things, return merch to the proper location, etc), so they are already interacting at every location. Otherwise they spend a lot of time relatively idle. Are you really going to get that extra bit of time out of them productively?
The same compiler needs to be used for comparison.

Likewise, I also didn't make explicit that the architecture of the hardware should also be the same.
f1 is 5.5 years old & there is shocking scant articles or other material with high-grade hackery like this. this is a notable fun jaunt into the world, thanks for sharing!
No, this is true. Statistically, we know many serial killers are actually victims of brain trauma as children (usually through being violently beaten) and we know traumatic brain injury can cause aggression. In fact there's a predictive relationship between childhood trauma and juvenile psychopathy. [0]

0. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29598432/ " Results indicate that psychopathy is significantly correlated with childhood trauma. For the Missouri data, trauma significantly predicted psychopathy scores for both boys and girls."
I had a Brother inkjet printer that would give low ink warnings when the cartridges obviously had more left. I found if you used a black marker to mark the translucent side of the cartridge it would stop complaining and let you print hundreds more pages. It also wasted tons of ink on frequent "head cleaning". One day it finally stopped printing one of the colors despite no mechanical problems. So I got a Canon and have been happy ever since.

IANAL, but I spent a lot of time talking to them about GDPR.

First, this data does not and could not be used, if implemented as described in the post, to uniquely identify someone. As such, it is not personal data and not in scope of GDPR.

Second, DPAs have bigger fish to fry.
Show HN: PyParsy an HTML Parsing library with YAML definitions
I would like to introduce a library I'm currently working on. It is more similar to selectorlib - where it defines the Selector definitions in YAML file, but with the difference, that it supports more than one selector per field, which in turn allows you to have one yaml definition per different HTML variations of a website. It also tries to validate the selector expressions before running the parsing. At this point I am looking for some feedback, so I can improve.
It's C-3PO.

They built frigging C-3PO and you're complaining that it's no fun.
> The harm a pre-teen suffers from sending nudes to internet strangers is likely substantial trauma for the rest of their life.

Was that ever researched? Or is it something that adults just find reasonable?

From my experience people are fairly good as adults, with dealing with memories of their own youth voluntary stupidity especially if it didn't result in damage to their bodies or didn't alter their life in significant manner.

This by no way excuses the behavior of a person that misled a kid into something like that, but I think one can abhor somebody doing something that has potential horrible consequences while at the same time observing that damage they managed to inflict in that case was actually minimal.
Advent is not an event that resonates with me.
> News flash: no one wants to wear VR goggles

This to me sounds similar to "I think there is a world market for maybe 5 computers" (https://www.lexology.com/library/detail.aspx?g=164a442a-1b90...). That was wrong

or "people don’t want to lug a computer with them to the beach or on a train to while away hours" (https://qz.com/593329/choice-quotes-from-a-1985-new-york-tim...). Looking around the beach and especially the train, everyone is lugging around a portable computer (phone)

I don't think today's VR/AR is "the thing" but I do think, in the same way people thought Palm Pilots and Windows CE devices were a small niche market for ~15 years and it wasn't until iPhone that the masses finally understood what a pocket device was good for VR/AR will eventually reach a version/device that will be more compelling than smartphones and similarly blow up

It might take until they get to a small dot like "Striking Vipers" but I'm glad at least one company, if not 5, are pushing forward.
Neuralink – Careers
“So the solution is to siphon even more money into charter schools, so that the public schools are left to rot even more due to lack of resources, and ensure the only children left in public schools will be the most desperate and poor among us. Their bullying problems will be 100 times worse, but it won’t be your problem. Let them rot.”

May as well be the rest of the quote.

At this point you may as well just advocate for executing the poor.

Tesla secures 399 Model 3, $18M EV fleet order from Caltrans
The idea is such a long lasting loop would take the function object as an argument and call it repeatedly. Recursive or not (tho in clojure's case definitely not, no tail call optimization), doesn't matter as the lookup happened at the first function call.
When tesla open up their touchscreen to 3rd party apps then musk can throw stones.

Medical Selfies – By Eric Topol
You don’t have to do any of that. Rentals provide a huge value to society. There is a large portion of the population in any given city that would prefer renting over buying.

To fix our housing issues we just need to make it easier to build homes. That is it.
I will never understand the argument that "consumers are making the wrong choice and I want the government to force companies to take that choice away from them. It hurts my business. Force them to make different choices, specifically these choices which help me make money. That's freedom!"
I don’t think this would require consent. It is not, as described in the post, uniquely identifying. It is not even pseudononymous. Thus, it is not personal data and does not require consent.
A single person living in a 3BR house with no roommates says “I find it difficult to believe normal people who live and work here would pay that amount,”

Is it not a social good to discourage households of one or two people from occupying large 3BR homes?
AoC is one of my favorite events of the year! I find the puzzles generally approachable, but interesting enough to spend time on. I also like that there's a definitively right answer, which motivates me in an interesting way. I've developed a base class over the years that handles input parsing, so I can focus more on the solutions themselves.

Additionally I've been solving for a number of years, but for the past 2 years, I've done a daily explanation of the solution. I use interesting parts of the Python stdlib and walk readers through common algorithms. I've found it _incredibly_ rewarding and plan on doing it again this year.

You can see all of those solutions here: https://github.com/xavdid/advent-of-code/tree/main/solutions

Please let me know if you enjoy reading these, I love hearing from folks!
LastPass blog post on Sept 15 said the hack was accomplished with a compromised developer machine:

> Our investigation determined that the threat actor gained access to the Development environment using a developer’s compromised endpoint. While the method used for the initial endpoint compromise is inconclusive, the threat actor utilized their persistent access to impersonate the developer once the developer had successfully authenticated using multi-factor authentication.

This is similar to other recent hacks, e.g. where a crypto company was hacked when a developer opened a malicious PDF he thought was a job offer.

So, in other words, being on cloud vs. on prem, and potential supply chain hacks, had nothing to do with it.

So sick and tired of everyone jumping to conclusions to fit their preconceived notions of what is good/bad when it comes to security.
!!!

You're missing the point.

The premise is that someone capable can blast through trivial assignments in no time. Either this is the final proficiency challenge or there are subsequent, harder questions. In the former case, why not see the salary/offer and then decide?
I agree it's bizzare, but why else would it be that all the US Linux distros use Gnome and all the European ones use KDE?
I used GPT-3 to help write a formulaic job negotiation email that I was stressing over. I would have spent an hour trying to get the language right; instead it took 30 seconds to write the prompt.

This was never really enforced.
that doesn't explain anything. they shouldn't be uploading unsalted hashes either. and if it's salted, it won't match with any database
I felt similar last year. I was trying to do them in Zig and Rust, and it felt like most of the challenge was just writing custom data parsers for poorly formatted data which felt too much like my day job.
I'm excited to try again this year! Last year, I only got 7 days done before getting distracted because of how crazy December is.
Two different points in IE’s history.

Chrome is like IE in the IE5 era when it was totally dominant and the best browser around.

Safari is like IE in the IE7-8 era when it was the worst browser and actively holding back everything else.
It sounds like you have someone in your life who is telling you to do things that you don’t want to do, and for some reason you’re listening to them.

Sounds pretty demotivating.
Giving a random UUID and giving someone a counter is significantly different. This is not identifying and thus does not require consent.
Different style of challenge that launched this year (found it in another HN thread a few weeks ago): https://protohackers.com

You're asked to write server code that meets the given protocol definition.
The twitter web app is what I use on a daily basis and it’s absolutely terrible. The app experience is vastly superior.
This is kinda my point tho, CL's symbols are the same as Clojure's vars for this purpose. And the comparison between generic functions and multimethods is obvious and correct here as well.

Late binding is irrelevant because all of this is about functions as arguments, not in funcall position.
You are sort of correct.

Brokers and exchanges are obligated to park customers' money in an escrow, and may even be required to insure them [1] for a good measure. Under no circumstance are customers' funds lent out. So where do they get money from to lend? Brokers lend either their own money or get into arrangements with liquidity providers. These are big institutions/hedge-funds etc., who offer to lend money in exchange for attractive returns. They get into a different agreements and are fully aware of risks they are taking on.

I was just telling all my computer-adjacent friends about this. Hype hype hype!!
This is a core business line of broker dealers. However I believe in the US your risk is limited to 140% of the value of your margin loan. If you have no margin loan then your securities need to kept in a separate/segregated client account.

This all was a big problem I. The us up through Great Depression, and then the securities exchange act of 1934 was implement to regulate these practices quite successfully over the years.
Thank you! I really loved Visual Complex Analysis..and started Needham's next book, which just arrived in the mail! :-) Worth it for all the other great books he mentions alone. It's also awesome, very much a sequel to VCA.
Only if better tools are actually getting into users' hands though. I don't know what exactly has gone wrong, but somehow it's the Gimp that keeps getting recommended to those end users.
Exactly. If you take this approach to the FTX incident, you’ll see quickly that the RCA points to SBF being a fraudster.
Last year I completed it in Python, but I'm pretty familiar with the language. This year I want to try in a new language - mostly either zig or rust. Eager to see how far I can get!
(author here) I found the corecursive podcast episode about "portal abstractions" with sam ritchie quite inspiring. It's about monoids from the algebraic point of view, but the mindset is very similar, I think.

I think I might have linked it in the article.
I don’t get how so many smart people here don’t understand this.

It is not the job of the media to accuse people of having committed crimes, and it is dangerous for most people to do so. Defamation is a real thing. Publicly accuse someone of a crime they did not commit, and they have a legitimate civil cause of action against you.

If you can get people to go on the record with their own accusations, great, but those people, too, would be exposing themselves to potential liability.

If SBF is charged, the media will be all over it, and the coverage will be based on official records and statements. That is how news coverage of crime works.

It is precisely because SBF has not been charged that the information needed to substantiate a news story tying him to criminal activity is unavailable.
I understand your frustration. The economy is a system of incentives; and if incentives are misaligned this will lead to mistrust and eventually chaos.

Student loans are predatory. Some people fell for it and some people avoided it. I think the question: Who is (or should be) bailing any of this; rather than making you whole or keep this system just because you are the one who figured it out.

Of course, it is the tax payers (the weakest and most easily accessible $$ thing) who will pay for this (either with taxes, government debt or money go brrrrr). This will further alienate these tax payers and lead to the eventual collapse of this economic system.

So I guess I started off trying to make you feel better about it but now you are going to feel worse (since not only you won't be getting the special treatment but you are also probably the one paying both the predators and the "less intelligent" people who took these loans).
Harvard's mission is already "to educate the citizens and citizen-leaders for our society."

Fun fact, the Dr. Aron Wall mentioned in the article is the son of Larry Wall.
For all the potential power of GPT-4, If it cant "learn on the go"... can't permanently incorporate new knowledge based on current conversations/inputs... remember things and use those as part of generating responses to things, going beyond the extent of its original data... then its not going to be much of a general intelligence.
The notion that the social network provides value on its own is … weird.

Social networks are valuable because of users. They gain value by attracting large numbers of users.

They have limited inherent value, and the majority have features which are easy enough for rivals to replicate.
I would think the business plan wouldn't be per-site, as most businesses have multiple domains.
> IMHO, the West is better if you manage to succeed and build you own fullfilling social network, but if you fail, you're doomed to love a miserable lonely life. The East is a good default option for most people but it holds back people a bit.

Very well put. But I also posit that it’s getting harder and harder to build a fulfilling social network in the west
Apple wouldn't want that in the first place because a customer who's angry at a 0-day (even if it wasn't caused by Apple) still hurts Apple's brand image.

Apple has gone a long way by sticking to the safest paths, meaning they do things that cause the most customer satisfaction, and don't do anything that can go wrong. That's why Apple abandoned the iCar project because while many would like the concept, a car experience is not something that Apple can have control over; if users get into car accidents, for example, that hurts Apple's brand no matter the cause of the incident. In comparison, making phones, Macs, tablets, etc. is fairly safe as long as Apple retains its full control over the experience (which must be perfect for most consumers).

Because of this, I don't really see Apple allowing app sideloading, even though I personally like it. I think the more pressing issue right now is the 30% cut on AppStore.

I think you're mainly talking about the large investors here who I generally agree were willing participants in scummy behavior, but there were other people hurt in this that I feel deserve some sympathy, namely a lot of the naive retail investors who lost their shirts. Yes, a portion of those were also greedy people hoping to take advantage of others but a lot of them weren't.

I think a little talked about part of the crypto investment boom among "normies" is that a lot of those people felt completely left behind by capitalism, constantly underwater financially, with no way to catchup or reach financial security. Crypto then got sold to them by the grifters and media as a way out, an amazing, full proof chance to get free. Theres a reason they were paying people Matt Damon and Larry David to do their commercials. Yes, putting your life savings in crypto is obviously a hugely risky and bad idea but most people lack the financial education necessary to recognize that a project promising you 20% APY is unsustainable and even those that do may still go for it because they see it as their one chance to stop drowning.

These aren't ancap millionaires living in the Bahamas, rubbing elbows with politicians and flaunting their $150k NFTs on Twitter, its people like my friend whos a single dad trying to raise two kids with autism while dealing with chronic health issues from his military service who lost most of his (negligible) savings when Celsius blew up. Yes, I'd been telling him for years how he shouldn't be taking risks on stuff like this and how they are all obviously scams and yes he was really stupid for not listening to me and everyone else and he does deserve some blame for his decisions but he wasn't in it for evil or greedy reasons. Dude just wanted to be able to afford counseling services for his kids and got tricked into giving people like SBF his money in hopes of being able to do so and is completely fucked now as a result.

I'm possibly being too empathetic and willing to remove blame from people who made bad choices due to hard circumstances (maybe because I have such a close anecdote). I guess I just feel like theres a large number of the victims that were the suckers the grifters were siphoning money away from and the impact on those people isn't really being discussed.
In kindness and for future reference, the word you're looking for is spelled "ulterior".
There was another recent article related to this product, that showed large-scale landlord (4,000+ units) using this product to run experiments around their vacancy rate vs their revenue, to figure out how much they could raise rates by participating in the collusion. They started at 5% and were testing 15% vacancies. That's a considerable number of units to remove from the market, and basically an unheard of vacancy number to target, but they were showing higher revenue with this model.

It's pretty obvious that this is a net negative on society.

Why are they not though? After all harm is not in what was done to you but how it impacted you. And bad quality of sleep and depression are signs that you've been wrecked.
One idea that has stuck with me: maybe polarization isn’t caused by bubbles but actually due to being exposed to the “other side”?
