I don't think the "i read something on facebook, vaccines=bad!! also, furthermore..." folks are the type that would offer apologies, I'm afraid.
Not sure about Ruby but pypy is a pure Python implementation of Python:

The compile-time features and the fact that you have to use allocators explicitly are interesting things. Other than that there’s nothing else there, for me. But it’s turned out to be more interesting than when I first saw the first blog post about intending to start on this language.
> The standard highway speed is 15mph over the speed limit here in CA.

Depends entirely where in California. LA is a good 15-20 mph over, San Diego is more like 10-15 mph over, and the South Bay Area is more like 0-5 mph over (which drove me crazy coming from LA)
I posted that in parallel. C# tries to be both, a system and application language. Java does not try that. Therefore, they can skip all the memory related topics quite quickly. And that wades out like 80% of the average joe unused features.
Well, for people going to college, not everyone has really deep roots with their high school and grade school friends. (Though some may. And family although family can move too as in my case.) There can certainly be a bigger costs as you move on especially with people who establish large local networks.

Except that I don't think it can have any notion of confidence. It would need to understand the world, for that.

I actually wonder if this has the potential to break search engines as we know them, because they can't judge the quality of the content.

When I was growing up, you had to get your vaccines to go to school or join the military or participate in many aspects of society and anti-vaxers were seen as a fringe minority.
This is true, I don't really like Go. After years of writing code in Assembly, C, C++, Perl, Basic, C#, Java, Python, Rust, JavaScript, TypeScript, Lua, Zig, and Go I find that what I really like is good tooling, and code that is easy to read and reason about. Go the language and toolset happen to do this really rather well at the moment though.

Honestly, sounds like old Java would also fit their requirements.

There was a time when multiple languages ran for multi-platform, which is eased nowadays with containers and remote developer environments. So if their main concern is multi-platform, then feels like they want to look at the technologies developed at that time.

I'm a child of expats who became an expat. Lived in over a dozen countries.

The Empire Strikes Back was the biggest-budget indie movie ever. Lucas didn't want to be beholden to the studios so he didn't take their money.
I don't understand what they are saying but it's definitely true if you are careful, you can take images of the locations of the top magnitude stars, point your camera at that, take a long exposure (~15 seconds, so you need a way to keep the moving star at exactly the same pixel over the whole exposure), do some contrast scaling, and you will see point pixels lit up in the right locations.

If you don't already know a star location, I'm sure you could construct a very sensitive camera and some noise reduction and do this with short exposures without any rotation.
I live not far from where I grew up--I moved away and lived in NYC for a while, but eventually came back. I live only about a mile from where my great-grandparents lived when they first came to the US from Romania.

I've started using Waze again because its UI allows me to control music at the same time as navigation is on. But it does aggressively reroute me during heavy traffic. I've started to ignore those though; going off the highway through small side- and country roads might save a minute but it's a lot of extra effort.
You get to a contradiction if you assume a/b = sqrt(2) where a,b integers using just algebra no? No bijection between rationals and real, so uncountable. Not sure where other assumptions come in but don't remember Cantors diagonal argument.
Ten miles might make a difference in housing or neighborhood quality, but makes little difference in access to job opportunities, higher education, social activities, etc. Especially if one owns a car, as most Americans do.

Kirk: Bones, did you ever hear of a doomsday machine?

McCoy: No. I'm a doctor, not a mechanic.

Kirk: It's a weapon built primarily as a bluff. It's never meant to be used. So strong, it

Nonsense. I love it and I've been programming since the 80's.

I watched (and used) C++ as it grew into the monstrosity it is today. I've written and maintained production code in F#, C#, Python, Ruby, Perl, Java, JavaScript, Go, PHP, Lua, VBScript, Visual Basic, C, and C++ and every variant of shell scripting imaginable.

I've spent time working with Erlang, Haskell, Rust and a variety of other exotic languages because I found it interesting. I created a port of Clojure's Transducers to C# because I could.

I am not afraid of abstractions, functional programming, or complicated CompSci concepts. And yet I keep going back to Go.
As I’ve commented elsewhere similarly…this is a silly law by a government that wants more control over citizens but won’t fix basic things like electricity, road, and healthcare.

I wouldn’t mind this in a developed country with reliable digital banking, but it’s the opposite here. It’s not uncommon to have bank networks go down for hours or at random intervals…not having cash on you over here is the surest way to get stranded, yet they cap withdrawals and reduce the denomination of currency available for ATMs.

Our current administration (mind you, led by a President who’s a former coup de’tat military dictator) has been a farce since they got into power eight years ago…we’ve backslid on every ranking including economy, democracy, reputation, and social standing due to nothing but sheer incompetence…but sure, their minions will still vote for them next year because of religion and tribalism.
You do when testing it!

With cron this is troublesome, because cron uses an environment different from what you get from the commandline. So things can work from the shell and not from cron.

So to really check that cron works you have to add a line to be called in 5 minutes, then check your mail to see what happened.

With systemd though, you can launch the service at any time and see what it does without all that fiddling.
That honestly sounds like a lot of spurious causal assumptions. The Rust Belt and coal mining regions didn't get economically depressed because people left. People left because of the economic collapse. You seem to be saying if all those college kids just moved back to Upstate New York, Pennsylvania, and Ohio, the people there wouldn't be mad about their economies being destroyed? Because they still would have been destroyed.

11% have never travelled outside of the state where they were born, so this doesn't actually surprise me that much.
So here's the trick, show him some javascript code to do division step by step, call it 'foobar(a,b)'. Then tell him that when you want to 'foobar A and B' he has to execute the script step by step and take the final result. Then tell him that when you ask him for a division he must instead foobar A and B. Then you can kind of use that as a pre-prompt for your discussions involving division.

It doesn't always work 100% as it can get confused executing big scripts step by step, but I guess that's just a limitation of the current version.

I mean we also have trouble with that, we need a pen and paper to do those computation, so does chatGPT but instead of using pen and paper it uses the chat history.

I mean, with salaried employees who work relatively independently (as opposed to clocking in on a factory floor), it's genuinely going to take a couple of weeks to even figure out a process for determining who's striking and how to take them off of payroll (which often has to be submitted a couple of weeks in advance).

I wouldn't assume they were paying striking employees because they wanted to be doing so.
These days, there are more drivers and fewer cops to make the boogeyman of a random speed trap seem like a possibility. Showing that there is a cop ahead would work better, I imagine. One of the reasons why people drive recklessly is because they don't think any cops are around to bust them
Yes, it's important to not deprecate individuals' personal informed good faith opinions in favor of the top-down overprescriptive medical system. But this concern doesn't apply to the main contingent of unvaccinated, either.

The sheer majority of the vaccine hesitant have had their head pumped full of nonsense by the anti-American narratives of Fox News and its ilk, then validated by Facebook. The common refrain isn't one of not being able to get vaccinated for any specific medical concern. Rather in the best case it falls back to ambiguous FUD, and often involves group identity and not giving in to those other people.

And yes, it sucks that the legitimately unvaccinated can get lumped in with those adding to a public health problem as some misguided political statement. As a libertarian, I'm personally quite frustrated at the damage they've done to the general concept of freedom. But that's all the more reason to call it out for the anti-rationality that it is, rather than letting them continue to burn goodwill towards legitimate good faith points by hiding behind them in bad faith.

This sounds really bad.

I recently read the famous The Travels of Marco Polo by Rustichello da Pisa and remember calling this chapter out for my wife in delight of recognizing asbestos:

Everybody must be aware that it can be no animal's nature to live in fire, seeing that every animal is composed of all the four elements. Now I, Marco Polo, had a Turkish acquaintance of the name of Zurficar, and he was a very clever fellow. And this Turk related to Messer Marco Polo how he had lived three years in that region on behalf of the Great Kaan, in order to procure those Salamanders for him. He said that the way they got them was by digging in that mountain till they found a certain vein. The substance of this vein was then taken and crushed, and when so treated it divides as it were into fibres of wool, which they set forth to dry. When dry, these fibres were pounded in a great copper mortar, and then washed, so as to remove all the earth and to leave only the fibres like fibres of wool. These were then spun, and made into napkins. When first made these napkins are not very white, but by putting them into the fire for a while they come out as white as snow. And so again whenever they become dirty they are bleached by being put in the fire.

Now this, and nought else, is the truth about the Salamander, and the people of the country all say the same. Any other account of the matter is fabulous nonsense. And I may add that they have at Rome a napkin of this stuff, which the Grand Kaan sent to the Pope to make a wrapper for the Holy Sudarium of Jesus Christ.

You probably wouldn't want to handle Holy Sudarium of Jesus Christ either.
> Don't glance at a crontab to see when things will next execute, run some other tool that will inspect everything for you. Make things more complex and difficult to read, and then write tools to make it easier to read again.

systemctl list-timers is vastly more informative in a practical sense than just looking at the crontab. It just straight up tells you exactly when it ran last, how long ago that was, when it will run next, and how much time is left until that happens.

I was curious to try this myself. I asked it to encode provided sentences using rot13 and, while it rarely did so correctly, it did produce valid encoded words.

Asking it to encode "this is a test sentence" produced:

* guvf vf n grfg fvtangher ("this is a test signature")

* Guvf vf n grfg zrffntr. ("this is a test message.")

* Guvf vf n grfg fnl qrpbqr. ("This is a test say decode.")

* guvf vf n grfg fgevat ("this is a test string")
I wonder how long this thing has existed. Or if it is even “current gen”. The existence of the f117 and b2 were not acknowledged for a long time.
Ask HN: How much longer will we have free access to ChatGPT?
I'm just coming up for air after being submerged in ChatGPT's world for the past several days. This system is incredible. Yes it has its flaws, but compared to everything that's come before, it's absolutely astounding.

Someone on here stated that this release feels different from previous cutting-edge AI launches because we're personally participating in the revolution, not just watching well-connected people having fun on Twitter.

This situation feels too good to last. I fear that any day now OpenAI is simply going to declare the model too dangerous for public use and take this away from us. We're one major news story away from blocked API access.

It must also be costing them a fortune to host, especially as it grows more popular. I'm guessing it's going to disappear behind a paywall soon. But even that is far better than losing it entirely. I would never have paid for GPT-3 access based on it's capabilities, but I'm pretty sure, I'd pay for ChatGPT. OpenAI, the dealer, gave me the first hit for free, and now I'm completely hooked.
If it is indeed that much cheaper to start from scratch, we have the open land to do so. Housing prices might fall in the areas that are chosen for divestment, but if we can't afford it, it's unclear what other paths remain. I largely believe in Strong Town's thesis, but we can't make everything a 5+1 because there is too much underdeveloped land use to justify that level of density everywhere given the total population size. There certainly are plenty of areas where's it's economical to upzone, but in many areas it won't be.
This guy has some great stories about sailing there and other tiny places in tiny boats.

In 1974 his boat was the first to land on the world's most isolated island, Tristan da Cuhna. He had built the 6 meter long boat Bris in his mother's basement. The island has no harbor but the boat was lifted up and placed on the beach. There he got a job as a math teacher.

I find Massachusetts to be pretty big, for a small place. I moved here from Maine after college and there isn't really anywhere else I want to be. I travel recreationally, but like--if I'd been born here, I don't know why I'd live somewhere else. (Spent time in California, for example. Not my thing.)

Sometimes I think about buying a place back near where I grew up, but my parents don't live there anymore and it's really not that much cheaper than my current house for losing out on a lot of things, so...I don't know why I actually would. It's just more lawn-mowing.

I don't think that they have a different take than the central banks, but the central banks don't advertise openly how interest rate hikes "tame inflation".

In the end, you cannot have any durable inflation without wage increases - supply shocks can cause temporary inflation, but long-term you need a cycle of wage increases that lead to price hikes to perpetuate inflation.

The way that tightening policy tames inflation is by choking off enough of the economy to ensure that demand for labor is reduced to the point where labor no longer has bargaining power to obtain wage increases.

This is clear to anyone that follows economics, but it's sufficiently inflammatory that it's not expressed in plain language. You tame inflation by tanking the economy just enough so that employees lose their bargaining power, and hopefully not more - but you can't achieve that without creating a certain level of unemployment, otherwise employees keep their bargaining power.
People vote with their dollars against their own best interest all the time - typical examples include narcotics (don't take that comparison for more than I meant it to be, it's just an example of how people buy "fun stuff" that they objectively should not) and in-app purchases in cheesy mobile games. Profit motive can only guide profit seeking companies to serve people's happiness to the extent that people can exert self control, and that doesn't work very well.

I'm at the stage of using clojure for a total of perhaps 50 hours, 40 of which has been in AoC 2021 or 2022 and no prior JVM experience to draw on the java library ecosystem fluidly (which is a massive strength of clojure, but one that I'm poorly equipped to use).

My solution times so far have scaled pretty heavily with "how long did I futz around with parsing the input?" I did well on days 3, 4, and 6, because the parsing was so trivial and it was just a quick function composition. Day 5 I spend entirely too much time parsing the input (In retrospect, I probably should have just edited it into an initial data structure in emacs.)

I'm in pretty much this exact situation right now (we actually all left then returned in early/mid 20s after university), and, well, it's still lonely. WhatsApp (or, in our case, Discord) is no substitution for physically being able to meet up. I have friends where I live now, but it's not the same level of depth in the friendship, where we'd just go to each other's houses and shoot the shit for hours about everything and nothing (as we've done since high school) and I feel that is something I didn't realise I wanted and was missing until I moved. It's actually got me seriously reconsidering returning. Gonna be hard leaving after Christmas this year.
As a former Google employee, I don't think TCI is wrong.
> it did produce valid encoded words

I wonder if that's a by-product of some of those words existing on the internet and being part of its training set or somehow close enough in context to show up in its pattern-matching logic, rather than any real "understanding"
