Using the output of a language model like mine as a comment reply on a forum like HN could potentially have a negative impact on the discourse in a number of ways.

1. It could undermine the authenticity and integrity of the conversation by introducing responses that are not genuinely from a human.

2. It could create confusion or misunderstanding, as the responses generated by the language model may not be relevant or appropriate for the specific context in which they are used.

3. It could discourage genuine participation and contribution from other members of the community, as it may seem like the conversation is being dominated by automated responses rather than authentic human interaction.

Overall, it is important to consider the impact of your actions on the online community and to strive to contribute to respectful and meaningful discourse. Using the output of a language model as a substitute for genuine human interaction is generally not a good idea, as it can undermine the authenticity and integrity of the conversation.
... and if the first shop you visit isn't vibing with what your goals and/or personality are, try another.

Shops that cater to commuters and transportation cyclists are very different from ones that cater to hardcore road or mountain bike riders.
Incidentally, that's one of the reasons for which Rust is so successful in this space. Rust won't magically make you productive in a week-end, but the Rust compiler (with its error messages) is pedagogic enough that it is going to help you learn from your mistakes.

That's the extreme opposite of raw C (or raw JavaScript, etc.) in which it's very easy to believe that you have solved an issue, only to realize much later that you've been entirely misunderstanding some constructions of the language and (if your code somehow managed to land) you have made the entire product unstable or insecure without realizing it.

Of course, there are tradeoffs to each approach. But I believe that investing in Rust was a great initiative from Mozilla.
> But how would reducing car dependency significantly affect the high cost of childcare, for example

1. Driving children to schools and other activities is a huge cost in time and money. If children could walk and bike, it would be much cheaper. I walked to school (even back home for launch) and then took the bicycle to soccer practice.

2. Children can spend time alone much earlier and travel alone much earlier. My parents were comfortable with me being alone at home for launch and after school, risk of car accidents was vanishingly small.

3. Mother helping each other out in a walkable neighborhood is trivial. My mother worked, I would simply walk home with a friend and would it at his house. And then later when my parents were home from work I would walk home. No big deal.

4. Having distributed housing policy with lots of option leads to cheaper apartments being available next to richer neighborhoods, means that its easier for low paid child care workers to live closer (walking distance) from the people who have children to take care off.

5. Having mixed use zoning allows for buildings that have child care facilty closer to actual housing in general.

I doesn't solve every problem, but it impacts most problems positively.
Dangerous to poke around inside when plugged in, but quite safe unplugged (unlike say an old TV).
You must live with a lot of fear. I am sorry.
Jacques, be wary of taking piano technique to a harpsichord. Couperin's manual on harpsichord playing is entitled "L'Art de toucher le clavecin". Hard hands don't work well.

Also a harpsichord tone needs time to develop after the pluck. On a revival instrument, playing fast doesn't lose much. On an instrument built following historic practices, slower brings out the music.

Scott Ross once cautioned against playing comme une machine à coudre.

"I also exist so you have to live bu my rules" it doesn't make a lot of sense when you boil it down to itst essence. Just because I live in proximity to people doesn't mean they get to dictate the terms of my life beyond whatever involvement I have with them directly.

Just because you want it to be that way doesn't mean it will be, and me and others like me will keep pushing to be left alone by people who get a hard on looking to exert power over us.
Well, not really. It's not like you'd be permanently bending the oars. When you complete each stroke you're going to get back nearly all of the energy that went into the elastic deformation. There's going to inevitably be some energy lost in warming up the oar, but it's not at all obvious that a slightly flexible oar would be perceptively or even effectively worse than a stiff oar.
Someone else commented the same, you are not crazy
100% agree with the bike policy thing.

And you don't even need an e-bike in most situations.
Afaik the mitochondria of the sperm cell is located in the tail to power it which then gets detached from the head just after it has borrowed into the egg ???.
Decentralized exchanges are in their infancy. They're not as efficient as centralized exchanges yet, but that seems more like a temporary technological limitation rather than some sort of iron law. What can't be decentralized is the fiat currency interconnect.
I'd add saddle rails/saddles, handlebars, and forks to that list of vertically compliant parts. There's also a bit in the wheels, but only 1mm or so.
Also, as far as I understood, both GNU Gnash and Lightspark were using OpenGL for rendering. So I always expected that GPU would still bring some sort of acceleration for 2D path rendering ?

Pascal arrays were fixed at compile time, which I quickly discovered made Pascal rather useless without extensions.
Sure, it's easy to come up with a filter that automatically excludes a long list of great cars.

For example, are you aware that the cheapest Tesla available to me with a range over 300 miles is $56,160 plus tax, title, and license[0]? That's $20k more than I paid for my car! The seven less-expensive Teslas available can't do 300 miles on a single charge either.

I've got an amazing 2023 Chevy Bolt EUV that I love, that I bought for much less than any Tesla available within 200 miles of me, even the ones with a 267 or 272-mile range. And that's before the $7500 tax credit I'll get, which I wouldn't with a Tesla, so more than $18k less overall.

But hey, my EUV is only rated with a 243-mile range. Which is more than my Fiat 500e, and plenty long enough for road trips, given the ABRF app, but fails your filter.

I'm glad you're happy with your car.

Even if they aren’t literally weird old men with beards who want to make you feel bad for bothering them, you know deep inside there lurks one. (Jk - also, have been the cranky one, even if I didn’t have a beard at the time).
It still works. The user just has to update it.
You reclaim it downhill if you book it. Casual riders seem to brake after reaching a certain speed, so they will send that energy to heat the brakes. Plus, the unfun of getting up the hill is probably more important than the fun going down, as it takes longer :)
I got burned so many times by GitLab I can't in good conscience use them anymore. I always try to use an OSS product when I can, but I literally lost a client a few years back because we couldn't do a deploy because GL was down. For now I use GH for critical projects and a self hosted Gitea instance when it's not super critical.
Could be very useful for people learning a new language! (consider marketing to language learning subreddits / communities).

I would find it useful for that exact purpose, however, I think 500 words might be too much. 150-200 is good enough. Would be cool to be able to change the amount of words required.
it can usually debug itself if you give it an error message
I don't understand how people can look at this and still claim that it's not doing any "actual reasoning".

Thank you.
The problem with that syntax is you have to repeat it every time `a` is forwarded to another function. The array data and length need to be combined into a single semantic entity.
I know what NTSC is, but what exactly is it encoding to/from? ADC-sampled composite video (at what samplerate?) to/from RGB/YCbCr?

I have a couple of small stores nearby and I don't use them at all for groceries because the selection is limited and the prices are high. I drive the 1.5 miles to the larger local store.

Those stores could have different variety if more people relied on them, but they simply don't have the space to compete with the larger store. One gets by selling alcohol and convenience items, the other is really a meat counter.
"One analysis of tax burdens relative to income suggests that in ten US states the percentage of income spent on taxes by low-income people is six times greater than that paid by the wealthy"

The footnote is to a study at https://itep.org/whopays/ - is this a reputable study? If so the findings seem like something people should be objecting to in the strongest terms possible - I'd be horrified if it were true in Australia. But at the highest level it seems to contradict the usual numbers you see floated around where the wealthiest X% pay Y% of all taxes (where X is considerably less than Y).
It'll help build cross-platform desktop applications. In theory, it'll streamline using GitHub Actions to produce platform-specific binaries, such as my FOSS Markdown editor KeenWrite[0], without having to have a copy of every target operating system.

To my knowledge, cross-compiling "native" Linux and Windows binaries using Java requires duct tape, chewing gum, and warp-packer.[1][2] If there's another way to cross-compile a Java application into a standalone binary for multiple target platforms, do tell!

GraalVM isn't a panacea. For example, GraalVM cannot compile Renjin[3], a pure Java R interpreter, which means switching from Renjin to FastR. Not trivial. Other sinkholes likely lurk that'll only reveal themselves when walking through the weeds.

Wow, that's amazing progress. All that's missing is friends who are interested in it!

They're doing cool enough stuff that it seems like they could attract real attention eventually though.
Well, this is all based on my perception and feeling, but in this case at least it appeared to be merely at the mention of how this story might relate to nonbinary gender identity. Just my perspective, but you appeared to really jumped at the opportunity to describe their their gender identity as imaginary and liken it to a sexual kink (are kinks imaginary either? IDK). Just seems as if this topic has fallen into the focus of your ire, which I just feel is a bit prejudiced.

For you it's at worst an extremely rare, uncomfortable but minor inconvenience to you. But now you jump at this kinda shitty reactivity towards the topic, which must sorta stink for other HN readers who just try to live their lives, but happen have a nonbinary or trans gender identity. IMO you're just piling on in a needlessly irritable way.

Just an outsiders perspective. Happy holidays and I hope you have a nice rest of your day, fwiw.
Painted differently, "nearly half of Americans age 18 to 29 have parent(s) who allow them to live [at home]"

Which is nice. Family is important—though on the other hand, dodgy apartments and "starter houses" exist for a reason. Young adults need (and should be looking for) character-building independence and freedom. Including and not limited to paying rent on time.

In these cases, "tough love" would be move-out by $date, for your own good.
Anything I can find in the US, I can buy cheaper in China, or higher quality in Europe.

The US is neither the cheapest nor the highest quality for most things, although it provides a reasonable trade-off of the two for many things.

I find bash to be pretty awesome, it’s super easy for an old hat like me to use. It just works and it has been mostly unchanged, two core principles more projects should consider.
It's one thing to discuss political opinions with other people. However, there is a fine line that the far-right, TERFs and SWERFs easily cross - and that is denying other people their right to a self-determined existence or an existence at all.

Compared to looking at visual art or listening to music, reading takes real & sustained effort. Or at least attention. Lots of people really aren't up for that.
I fed one of the reviews to ChatGPT and told it to write a review of the Burbank WalMart in this style. Result:

> Two Stars

>The Burbank WalMart is a behemoth of consumerism, a vast labyrinth of plastic and steel where the soul withers and dies. I wandered its sterile corridors, searching for some scrap of humanity amidst the endless rows of merchandise. But all I found was the dull glint of metal shelves, the hum of fluorescent lights, and the dull roar of consumerism.

> I took my chances with the food court, hoping for a glimmer of salvation. But all I found was a false burrito, swaddled in tinfoil and wrapped in a lie. I looked upon it with disgust, knowing that it was a symbol of all that is wrong with this place.

> As I left the Burbank WalMart, I felt a sense of despair wash over me. I had been to the abyss, and it had left me cold and empty. I will not return to this place of soulless consumerism, and I recommend that others stay away as well.

I don't think any "anti helmet crowd" would claim that helmets never ever help. Just that it's rare enough that it may not be worth the inconvenience.

After all, are you strapping on a helmet while you're out walking, or driving a car? Sometimes, very rarely, that could be what saves your life.
It’s pretty cool to write a 3D game in godot, and see a browser run it like it’s nothin. It answers the question “but can it run linux/doom?” easily.

Does it have the marketshare to make AWS make significantly different decisions? Remains to be seen. I guess people paid money for serverless. Could go that way

Edit: I never thought node.js would take over half of the information sphere, so read me more like a graybeard who is too young to be one.
If you find your way to Bangkok's central drag Sukhumvit and keep heading east, 500 km down the road you'll find yourself at the Cambodian border, and it's still the same name.

This is particularly weird since if you head west, the same road changes its name every couple of blocks!
I have no idea what that guy is talking about, but your post reminded me of a fun trick. If you have a colouring of every finite subgraph then you can show the existence of a colouring of the whole graph by using Tychonoff's theorem.

How does embedded programming pay?
It's small in that nearly half of the published list is academic languages and dialects, and the other half seems to be custom dialects of languages.

While LLVM or WASM support is nice, most modern languages are not compiling to either one by default, and likely means it's not "turn key" to get your system running on Graal anyway.
That's strange, the form factor is the worst part for me.

There is no comfortable position to use an iPad in. In bed you're craning your head over, or propping it on your raised thighs. The keyboard cases are flimsy or super heavy.

I love the user interface on the iPad, it looks the best of iPhone, iPad, and Mac. But a MacBook is so much more ergonomic than an iPad.. :(
This is an awesome walkthrough and gets me thinking about all the other automation tasks I could get done with ChatGPT-driven bash scripts... can take this same approach to context switching for actual apps. For ex: "dev" branch can open up vscode, terminal windows, linear, server logs, etc, while "marketing" branch can open up slack, chrome (to email), twitter, notion, etc
FWIW, I'm not convinced that this piece will be right for more than a few years into the future. I think it's an interesting discussion piece, though.

Context matters a ton and a lot of programming is understanding context and requirements and goals and needs and economics and those, while trainable, will suffer from the slowness and lack of richness of the I/O between the real world and the model (this interface is not improving nearly as fast as the models themselves).
Many consumer appliances are also still unisolated inside, it saves cost and you are unlikely to be touching anything inside if you don't know what you're doing (hence the usual "do not open" warnings on them.)

As a kid, I acquired a few of these from my grandparents' farm. At some level it struck me as odd that they shared so many common features and details. It was many years before finally hearing about the "All American 5" and then everything made sense.
So the author complains about bash, but uses zsh

They also basically uses the chrome cmdline commands and blames bash for that being bad

Your problem doesn't seem to actually be bash (but chatgpt really makes it super easy)
Whoops. I linked to a 2019 blog post but they just updated versions.
Assuming the problem with the code causes an error message. That’s actually the easier case - the hard case is incorrect logic but syntactically ok.

It would be interesting to combine the daily routine concept, with an AI chat engine, so the goal is to have daily conversations of a certain length/depth, about random topics, between you and an AI, in your target language.
The batteries are recharged during descent, if I understand correctly. Since "full power" in this craft requires the lithium batteries to be charged, I wonder how much reserve energy will be left in those during cruise for contingency reasons. Perhaps there is plenty left for fighting downdrafts, etc. Unsure.

One nice thing about electric motors is that they can be "throttled up" almost instantaneously, unlike some (not all) turbines. For example, that ultra fast response may be useful in a wind shear situation.
Just for some perspective, the 40-hour work week is a relatively new invention that only surfaced with the recent rise of the white-collar workforce. In my parents' day, the 40-hour work week was called "bankers hours" and this was used in a highly derogatory "sure must be nice" tone of voice. Many or most of us are probably descended from farmers that worked doing hard physical labor from sun-up to sun-down six days a week at a bare minimum with the rare holiday being reserved for family gatherings and religious observances. No travel at all unless you could hire someone (or left your kids at home) to feed the pigs or whatever while you were gone.

I'll take 40 hours over that kind of life in a hearbeat, thankyouverymuch. Although I am still trying very hard to make it so that I don't have to do even that much for the rest of my life.

In general, I don't disagree that it's sad that we spend such a huge proporation of our precious, finite time on our planet working. Most work without enjoyment because that's how you put food on the table.

On the other hand, the person who cracks this nut will enjoy unprecedented fame and their name in the history books for the rest of human civilization if they figure it out. (And no, it's not going to happen no matter how many 140-char political rants there are on the bird site. Very arguably, those are in fact the opposite of progress no matter which "side" you think you are on.)
The most interesting part of this to me is seeing that this is made with brython, and spotting a text/python script in the wild. Fun stuff, people are really creative.

Oh, bike helmets. I missed that thread, and I don't want to start yet another endless internet discussion about helmets, but let me point out one thing: the helmet I did wear likely wouldn't have saved my life, had the fork breakage happened one minute later.
Yeah, do not attempt to use. High voltage inside. Better to buy any new low voltage piece of shit. Throw this all away. Be very afraid of this old stuff. Hmmm....your Tesla, runs on 3.7V LiIon...safe.
I don't see any code changes in the commit history after that.

edit: oh, it looks like it wasn't actually drained.
As well, it may be possible to crowdsource a new reasonable quality dataset by just using photos taken by volunteers, along with some custom paid work by professional body models or actors. Redone quality photos of public artwork and architecture would probably be a great help too.
Yes...though my experience is that "functional writers" is an extremely charitable description of how good many Americans are (not) at writing.
