You know that if something is paid by taxes, and you pay taxes, you are footing the bill for it? Yes you aren't going to get an itemized bill with a line item for Jim's cracked skull, but that's still money that could have gone to things like schools or infrastructure or cancer treatments or what have you.
But that is just a trivially true point. Let’s think of things we can do until our city becomes interested in redoing its streets in 100 years, if ever.
These are all such terrible answers to that question they serve as supporting the comment's implicated critique. I don't mean that your answer is incorrect. You are correct that these are the simplest means provided to accomplish that task.

But the provided means are gross.

You shouldn't need to go out to the internet, consume a cloud service, and come back, just to go from your phone to your laptop, and all of these big service providers shouldn't be making it so that that is the path of least resistance, or even damned near the only possible path.

It's a great example of how the incentives of the companies are opposite to those of the users.
It worked okay for Minecraft.

Lifetime licenses for anything that is related to a service is a terrible idea, in the same way that not linking cost to usage can also be problematic.

For a standalone application, it can make a lot of sense along with bringing customer loyalty as they are treated well.

FL Studio is another example, and they also demonstrated how you can add new revenue paths, whilst still providing excellent value to your original customers.
And proper APIs and Frameworks are very well documented inputs and outputs, whats your point?

Im pretty sure we could train an AI to suggest the correct API for the intended purposes. Given the fact that we have support of datatypes and documentation what is left to do is to map what you have to what you want.

Also we can reasonably generate classes and controllers already through cli, so why not combine all the nice things we have to something usefull.

Kubernetes is simply an api too
There are probably good techniques worth stealing from FPS or MMORPGs. Those also usually run on a fixed tick rate of about 50ms, but can't afford to have clients vote on it (FPS because lag is unacceptable, MMORPGs because of user count). There are various approaches in use, depending on whether you want to just degrade the experience of the lagging participant, or give preference based on action (e.g. FPS resolve conflicts in favor of the person who fired).
ChatGPT generally goes into a lot of details about its decisions, and provides detailed explanations. You still have to fact-check it, or verify by running the code, because it will make mistakes, but if that happens you can say "Hey, this isn't quite right because ..., how do I actually do this" and it will usually figure it out.

As a software dev of 10 years, I've done the "googling and reading documentation" a fair bit, which is kind of like stumbling around in the dark and feeling around to get a sense of where things are. For some well-defined, well-documented things, using ChatGPT to do the same is like having having an overconfident junior-intermediate dev to pair with who's familiar in a stack that I'm not. I still have to guide it a fair bit, and adjust my expectations to account for that overconfidence. But it can absolutely guide me as well, and teach me new things.
In some ways I feel this could benefit from a government-orchestrated solution. The government already issues death certificates. If they could be digitized and turned into some kind of proof-of-death token that combined with another secret key would unlock ownership of all accounts, that would be pretty cool.
Cont'd: It's one thing to observe "Humans make mistakes all the time, therefore I should be humble about my conclusions and mildly skeptical toward others'."

It's another thing to have a FUNCTIONAL MODEL of HOW AND WHY humans make certain categories of mistake.

Such a thing can help us sort through proposed answers to complex questions with better discernment than just the basic realization that "this was arrived at by a fallible human, therefore it could be wrong, so I won't hold it too dogmatically."
If you get in contact with your friend: point out to them that part of being a parent is building up an independent, bullshit tolerant, reality questioning adult.

If none of the things you debunked were serious, then it may have been seed planting for later epiphanies.

I've made very sure that the kiddos I spend time with have a rich mix of truths, half-truths, and jolly equivocations to sort through in their life, and they have no end of fun working their way to proving me wrong.

I consider this an investment in their future development of bullshit filters to keep things running when mine have finally given up the ghost (May it not happen in the forseeable future).
Isn't it being replaced with something newer and better?
Battery swaps make no sense for trucking (and never really did for cars). The storage required for batteries would be prohibitive, and the charging location would have to keep a decent number of expensive batteries on hand.
You have borders because you want the image to be inside of the title safe area and then the layout is constrained because the chip is designed to show a 40x25 character area of characters 8 pixels wide, and outputting 8 pixels takes exactly as much time as one clockcycle of the cpu, they execute in lockstep.

And of course you can’t just zoom in a little because a character is 8x8 pixels and the video signal has a fixed number of lines on the screen so 25 characters of 8 lines tall is just a fixed part of the screen (which is 312 lines tall on PAL).

In hindsight it is a bit silly that there is no easy way to display sprites over the borders though, to do that you have to wait until the video chip is displaying the last character and then configure the screen a bit less wide/tall so it oversteps the end and never stops outputting.

That's the next thing, they outright reject negative reviews.
They even share your contact info with the seller, so your review isn't anonymous at all.

The USB hub I bought was brittle and broke after the warranty period.
When I said parse, I meant it can take the data it already has.

It is still very average for "in the style of" prompts.

Partly it's a matter of what to ask Chat GPT. When I try to show people, they usually ask straightforward questions that they can already get a quick answer from in Google, which isn't terrible impressive.

But take this, for example[1]. I asked it to write me a story in a particular genre featuring certain animals, and it did. I asked it to switch genres, which it did well. When I asked for a backstory about how different characters met, it provided a fairly plausible one, as well as songs that would accompany the story if it were a musical, and potential titles for a sequel.

When I asked it to write the beginning of a New York Times article titled "Biden Shocks Nation"[2] I got a fairly convincing news story about Biden deciding not to run for office again. If asked to continue the story and include people who might run, it generates further paragraphs talking about who might run to replace him, starting with Kamala Harris, who it claims is a strong contender.

Is any of this writing amazing? No, but very few writing is. It's amazing how well it's able to generate generic human writing, as well as how easy it is to get it to create what you want with very few prompts.

For anyone curious how it played out: Teller won in a default judgement for copyright infringement; Bakardy "did not participate in pretrial procedures and refused to attend the trial in person".

The judgement included $15k in damages, $30k for costs, and $500k in attorney's fees. Teller had asked for $989,568 in attorney's fees, so it sounds like the only real winner here was the lawyer.

Date is a very bad piece of data to store in a auto-generated file.
1. It will get updated regardless of actual changes to the file, which means you will get a git commit each time you run the regeneration.
2. It's superfluous. The date of the last update is contained in the git history - ie. `git log file.ext` will give you exactly the last time it was regenerated
3. If you include the file in any kind of build, changing the date will invalidate the build caches and force a recompile. Potentially a very expensive recompile if it's at a top of a dependency tree.
4. It depends on the system. Running the autogenerate tool on different machines will return different outputs, so for example you might have issues checking in CI that it was generated correctly.

A simple solution to your problem is to use something stable - a content hash. Ideally you will want something reasonably fast, but also cryptographically secure in case you want to extend its use later - but in general any decent hash will do.
Safety features can absolutely be a luxury.
Except that isn't the creative loop people are talking about. The creative loop is having an outline for what you want to communicate, and feeding parts of the outline into the model, running it a few times and cherry picking the best results, then stitching them together to create a cohesive whole in less time than it would have taken to create it from scratch (and with a higher quality final output).
Did you backup the disk and then run it to see if the prediction was correct?

My first instinct would be to do the backup (of course), but a close second would be "yeah, that's probably not so precise as to make me be quite that lucky today..."
> Or from stress of that day, or from asymptomatic covid you didn't realise you had, or from unrelated heart issues you didn't realise you had, or from...

The day I had issues I was camping. Given the testing I certainly didn’t have COVID unless the tests are wrong. No unrelated heart issues prior to this, EKGs everything prior showed normal.

I’d rather not have heart issues to help someone else feel safe. And if my chances are lower, then how come after taking the first dose and having issues, then ceasing further doses at my Drs request, how come I never got it? You see you can isolate yourself and invalidate the need for increased survival rates. Bonus, you don’t have heart issues either!

Really all this shows me is its “every man for themselves”. All anybody cares about is if they survive or if they get a hospital bed if needed. And they’ll force, or attempt to force, others to do things to give them an extra level of safety. Because of this, you’ve created a “new vaccine” antivaxer
This is going to be, literally, the biggest promotion for Bitcoin ever done when people start to understand the amount of control this hides behind.

It is the end of privacy and the beginning of telling you literally what you will be able to do or not with your own earnings abd for how long, if they decide it is appropriate. This is more of treating people like animals than individuals IMHO.

This is a libertarian talking point. I strongly disagree but I doubt I can change your mind here (or vice versa).

The reasons for requiring this for the "greater good" are:

* Younger people are easily influenced and without such a law wouldn't use a helmet, seatbelt, etc.

* Costs of healthcare after a bad crash can be serious. Yes, my country like pretty much everyone outside the US, has single payer. We would foot the bill, regardless.

* It's proven that regulation and legislation can help. Regulation for seat-belts, airbags, crash testing, etc. has saved many lives. IMO this is what government is about, saving people. Sometimes from their stupidity and ignorance.

Assuming that trucks are weighing the same due to cargo weight (and, usually, you're either space or weight limited... usually both if possible), then tire wear should be roughly the same. It'll be a little more since there is a small allocation (2000 lbs?) extra for electric semis, but not enormously so. The big difference though, is if much of the brake particulates are eliminated thanks to regen braking. That could easily outweigh the particulate addition of the small weight factor.

Also, from a pollution argument, this assumes that you have trucks that are all compliant and healthy. With EVs, there is no opportunity for a truck to have its emission control fail or just are grandfathered in due to age. There's PLENTY of semi trucks I see around where I live that seem to belch black smoke when they accelerate. Replace those with EVs (which, the value proposition would make itself for short-haul diesels should make itself) and you have a noticeably cleaner city.

That isn't even accounting for trucks that idle for long periods of time. When talking about local construction jobs, I've seen rows of semis idling downtown waiting for their turn to pick up rubble or deliver materials.
> "Lastly, we know these “quality of life” laws are disproportionately enforced in communities of color and in lower income communities." - what the hell?! Yes, helmet and safety laws are the reason why police officers disproportionately enforce various laws against communities of color. /s Let's blame this and not deal with the real problem: reform of police enforcement.

For Kubernetes, maybe give kOps a try. It's quite close to managed. The Hetzner integration is quite good (I spent about 6 months getting it ready for my company). The community support is great also. It still needs autoscaling added though.
"There're no prerequisites for fair use"

That's true IF there's a case of fair use, which very often is not the case. The extremely common scenario where you include a photo on your blog or social media post that isn't yours, is virtually never fair use.

People often behave opposite to that, but that's a matter of lax enforcement. In general, you're not allowed to use a copyrighted image without permission, regardless of whether you attribute it or not.

Elon Musk ‘personally wanted to punch Kanye’ after swastika tweet
"Carry it or tie it to your bike" ... wouldn't it be possibly stolen if you left it on your bike that you chained up on the street? And carrying it doesn't sound comfortable at all -- where do you put it?

The amount of discomfort (psychological fear of theft or physical nuisance of carrying it) is very likely going to discourage its use. But then you're liable for a fine for not having a helmet, so you choose to not ride the bike.

Just don't require helmets for bike riders over some age.
Not when what they're protecting are pedestrians, especially children, who often aren't tall enough to be visible in a mirror.
These are orthogonal to one another. For read-protection, encryption is a viable solution: specific paths into your data structure (e.g. certain keys in a map) can be encrypted with a key that isn't provided to all participants. For write-protection, the solution is the same as with any syncing service: when receiving an update, if you don't authorize the sender of the update, you don't accept it.
When you have a weak argument, you throw whatever you can to try to immunize it against attack[1], including things that are at most peripheral to the issue, like race, which is not an issue in many countries on earth (Thailand, China, Korea, Japan, most African countries, middle east, most parts of Europe, etc.

[1]It the modern "think of the children", but instead, "think of the minorities" but worse because there are adult voices in minorities who can speak for themselves and most also want safety. That said in many places there are racist policies against one group or another, but I don't think the above is that.
Feel like there's no real difference now. People today who don't use (or don't want to use) password managers keep their passwords/credentials in the Notes app or some combination of "most used symbols and numbers".
There was one that must've set up a nest somewhere near my parking spot at my apartment towards the end of summer. Every time I came home, it would be running around looking for things in the flowerbed nearby, and then come over to me and follow my feet/shoes, and then do soft nips. It was interesting though, because it's like it knew not to peck my ankles (that were covered by my socks) as hard as it did my shoes. Playful in a way.

It would stand on my shoe, and I'd lift it up. It'd bite onto the side of my shoe, and I'd play tug of war with it.

At one point I was diagnosing a car battery issue, and when I had the hood popped, it got territorial over my car. I kept trying to lead it away by enticing it with something distracting a little ways away from the car, and then running back to check my battery. But it would return.

A couple times, I pulled out of my spot to head to work in the morning, and it'd ride on top of my car for a few seconds before I started driving too fast.

They're such interesting birds. I kinda miss that one.
Zero-width characters can be used to covertly watermark text and to figure out who copied text from a page and pasted it somewhere else. Server software can encode a hidden number between every few words, which corresponds to a server log entry with your username (if logged in), IP address, browser fingerprint, etc. I wrote more about this here:

https://nervuri.net/stega

I think the best solution to this type of problem would be a clipboard utility that warns you when you copy text which contains hidden characters, homoglyps, rarely used whitespace characters, etc.
> Professionals making 200k … at the tail end of their career

Associate is not the tail end. There are three tenure-track/tenured titles in US academia:

Assistant Professor (untenured, usually held for 6 to 8 years)

Associate Professor (usually tenured, and thus held possibly indefinitely, but usually people get promoted to the next level in a few years)

Professor (tenured, also called “full professor”)

SBF’s parents have been full professors for a while. So their numbers are higher than the one the person who replied to you found on Glassdoor.

another food analogy would be how farmers started grinding up dead animal carcasses and feeding the results back to live animals (i.e. making cannibals out of vegetarian ruminants), which resulted in an outbreak of prion diseases like Mad Cow / CJ.
Ask HN: How can OpenAI's ChatGPT know the visual shape of a house?
This weekend I played with ChatGPT and entered "can you draw a house in ASCII art?" in the prompt.
Sure enough I got a basic outline of a house in ASCII art as a response.
I then asked ChatGPT for a more precise outline and it added a horizontal line in the middle of the house saying it "added a floor" and mentioned smoothing the slopes of the roof to make it more house-like (although I did not notice a visual difference for the roof).
If the A.I was only trained on text how can it infer the visual outline of a physical object?
Ah, good point. Policy can be different than individual actions.
>Afaik exchanging business cards in Europe technically involves violating the GDPR if you pass them on to someone else at work without explicit permission

A bit off topic, but...I would have thought it depends on how you got that card. If someone hands me their card in a private meeting I wouldn't share it anyway. I would offer to do an introduction.

If someone had cards in a display stand on their public front desk it is really advertising, and I am quite sure you could share it. Sounds like a GDPR scare story.
Of course, mandatory helmet laws do NOT make cyclists less safe. They may make people who choose not to cycle because of the law less safe. But there is no discussion of the balance of safety -- more for helmet wearers, perhaps less for people who choose not to cycle.

> I don't think the garbage collector is to blame. During the worst times, when the JVM almost maxed out 90 CPUs, the GC was only using 3s of CPU time per minute.

The graph linked only shows 3s in young gen GC - you should check the time spent in the old gen GC too.

You can get loads of time spent in GC even without running out of memory - running out of other resources like file handles or network connections will also trigger a full GC in the hopes of freeing some up.

If you've got 1000 file handles available, one process that uses 100 per second and doesn't leak, and another that uses 1 per hour and leaks it, after 900 hours everything will look fine, then after 1000 hours you'll run out - and the symptoms will manifest in the first process, not the second.

Admittedly, there's a text file of jstats output linked which doesn't show any full GC happening, so maybe this is nothing...
