Completely disagree. Usually (I'd say 60-40 or 70-30) you find that they generally submit perfectly fine content but once upon a time ago they got embroiled in an escalating flame war and made the mistake of not realizing that when arguing for the minority viewpoint the bar for that constitutes "abusive" and "break site rules" is far, far lower.

If I had a penny for every worthless in-group signaling comment, worthless reference rebuttal and worthless assumption of bad faith that gets cut slack because it's in favor of the "right things" when adjacent comments on the other side are not I would be very rich.

Edit: I look at unoffensive comments to see why that user was shadow banned and when I see an "out there" comment I go down the rabbit hole to see if that is a characteristic comment or a one-off so I think I get a pretty good spread.
Full marks for honesty, IMO. It'd be tempting to delete this before making it publicly visisble.

For now. The site says it's currently free because it's in a limited research preview. I'm curious what you would think if this was a $20/month subscription instead?
On the one hand, you express strong support for empiricism and the scientific method, but on the other, you express strong beliefs on how things must be without offering any empirical justification for them.
I gave up on iTunes after realizing how aggressively and poorly it matches your library against its catalog. I remember times when I intentionally deleted a "match" and when the scan was triggered again it would erase my copy again. I thought there was something I was doing incorrectly since I couldn't find much online about it.

Google Play Music was the last true third party hosted solution, in my opinion. YouTube Music allows you to upload files but segregates your uploads from the YouTube Library for recommendations and smart playlists. I haven't found a great "smart recommendation" service for self hosted files.
No a psychiatrist is. Stop wasting people's time and put them in more danger than they already are.
> At 43, having kids is harder for women, but usually not for men (well, at least making babies: bringing up kids does get a bit harder as you age regardless of the gender).

And regardless, do consider adoption, even as a single parent. There are loads of kids taken away from parents who for whatever reason can't really care for them. Often there's a generational component: the kid's grandparent abused or couldn't support the parent; the parent ended up in foster care, exited out of the system at 18 with no support network, got pregnant, and can't really support the child. If they're not placed with an adoptive family, they spend the rest of their lives in foster care and repeat the cycle. You can make a world of difference.

My first marriage took a long time to resolve itself; by the time I married again, and we figured out that we were having fertility problems, my wife was "over the cliff" fertility-wise. We adopted a little one and he's been a real joy. You are wired to connect with children, and children are wired to connect with you; those circuits in your brain can't read DNA.

Obviously you need to get your own life sorted out first: lack of work and depression feeding into each other are major contributing factors to the problems the kids' biological parents have taking care of them. But get your head in the right space, a good support network around you, and a steady income, and there's no reason you can't be welcome a child into your family. Obviously having a partner can make the burden easier, but there were plenty of single-parent adopters in the "cohort" going through the adoption process with us. It's definitely do-able.
That seems like idle speculation with a question mark. Of course there's a possibility, in the sense that it's not impossible. But how would any of us here know if it's anything more than that?
Morally, you're also killing someone with no intent on harming you who isn't an immediate threat. Sure, its not quite straightforwardly wrong, but it sure isn't right.
Yeah, I gave up on iTunes very recently and moved to owntone because iTunes does not play nice with network shares. If the share isn’t available when you launch the app it reverts to storing files locally without telling you. It also can’t really handle artists with arbitrary Unicode in their names, and forgets where the file is under conditions that I could never quite determine.

It’s never deleted a file though, not once in 15 years. A poorly-designed SSD whose rubberised coating kept it too toasty did kill a lot of my music, but that’s what backup strategies are for.
The reddit thread title is misleading.

Apple didn't "replace" the OPs files, the OP downloaded their music library to a new device, using Apple Music's sync feature.

This is a much less egregious issue than replacing files in situ.
Throwaway account

I am turning my life around and I am 46. I have taken the first steps to move away from the IT industry and my golden handcuffs - both of which I loathe.

I have mended the relationship to my wife - and mending it with my kids. All of which I love. A single signature away from divorce was turned around into a fruitful partnership.

I have left the big city in favour of rural life. The air is clean. The world is silent. My mind is calmer.

It is hard. Financially, physically and emotionally. But chopping wood at 6AM in a snow clad landscape, while the sun is coming up, is bliss. I am healing.

I have no idea about what I'm doing. I have no education in agriculture, no handyman skills, no construction vocabulary, can't tell plants apart but I am happier. Nicer to the kids. Patient. Bring my wife flowers. Chat with the neighbours who think I'm a freak. Laugh at myself. It's good.

It is not too late my friend. There are plenty of women. Many of them have kids but no husbands. Some of the kids have no fathers. There is a need for you in this world. There are people who need your love. There are people you need to love.

And yes, like all the other comments, go see a therapist. You're vulnerable. What a perfect start you're off to.

Small steps my friend. Small steps. You've got this mate.
How is it confusing? The way Carmack treated Romero is famous, and the recent Lex Fridman interview of Carmack even has it admitted by Carmack. Carmack, in the same interview, explains how he is an asshole to people that work(ed) with him at Meta.

Listen to the interview, and see if Carmack sounds like a reasonable boos, able to get the best from his staff, or sounds like someone that would cause serious friction. I'd pick the latter, from his own description of how he treats people.

He's a good programmer. He'd be absolutely terrible to work with or for.

HN users love apple though. Something which will never cease to mystify me. You would think relatively tech savvy people, programmers and computer super-users would utterly detest apple with a burning passion.
I don’t think that was used in the original Mac and can’t think of what OS call would use it.

You're spot on. Images on the original Mac were all 1-bit arrays. There was no concept of 'color' or 'grey' or any way to translate that to-and-from the single pixel images.

Doing it for the scanner project, which did look at levels of grey, makes more sense. Those scanned images ended up in later Mac projects like Hypercard.
I successfully used a GPT-2 output identification tool to see whether something was generated using ChatGPT. I think it only works if the text has a minimum number of characters. I imagine it's only a matter of time until Turnitin integrates something like this, or some other start-up comes along in edtech. Either way, the continuous arms race on generative media / identification of it will be fascinating to watch as it unfolds!

Totally agree with this. I have an older (late 50's) gay friend who considers himself 'over the hill'. He talks constantly about how hard it is to find someone etc. However, by comparison to myself and my other straight friends, it's trivially easy for him to find both sex and companionship. Essentially it was so easy when he was young and handsome, he learned an aversion to trying. It's not so much that he doesn't know how, it's that he feels he shouldn't have to. As an average looking straight guy, I find his entitlement absurd.

Same goes for OP. I'm literally his age, don't own property, have less in savings (I don't work in tech), and consider myself both lucky and free. Also lucky not to live in the US, where other people's perceptions of your relative wealth seems much more important for dating / social life etc.

Perspective governs so much of how meaningful and rich our lives seem. I look at my family / contemporaries who have children, or have crushed themselves at a desk for twenty years and feel inestimable gratitude I didn't sacrifice my life on that alter. OP's problem is a long period unemployment and depression, not some kind of nebulous 'failure'. Fortunately it's readily fixable. 43 is not remotely 'past it'.
yea its a shame how hard it is to read 79 columns on mobile..
I agree. This reminds me of the argument that being able to use web search during a “coding interview” is cheating.

My stance is that if web search can render the difference between a competent and incompetent candidate undetectable, the problem is the interview task, not access to web search. (Not to mention problems with coding interviews in general.)

I’ll go out on a limb and say the same general principle applies here: If ChatGPT can pass a test, the test is measuring the wrong thing.
Are Dark Patterns the fault of the user or the company ?
I think there are two kinds of exceptions in languages that have them as their error handling mechanism.

1. Exceptions you expect your consumers to handle.

2. Exceptions you don't expect your consumers to handle.

The first one I would argue you should wrap third party exceptions. There is in nearly every case important context in your code that the thrower of the third party exception will not know and whoever is reading or handling the exception will want to know.

The second one should do whatever the equivalent of crashing is for your use case. Either exiting the program hard or bubbling to some top level handler where a "Something weird and unexpected happened and we can't continue whatever action was going on" alert or log get's recorded and the activity is terminated.

If something is throwing an exception and you don't know it can be throwing an exception it probably belongs in category 2. You may over time transition it to category 1 when you figure out that it is actually handleable.

In my experience though if you aren't disciplined then every exception ends up being lumped into category 2 whether it should be or not. Any language that helps you force the categorization gets bonus points from me.
I think this was the tool I tested it out- https://huggingface.co/openai-detector
1. The "everything app" being talked about is essentially a Chinese tech giant mega-app, which are absolutely not general purpose computing platforms which are not "apps" themselves.

2. Agreed but this has nothing to do with Twitter or mega-apps whatsoever.

3. Transitioning to cloud service is not what Twitter needs to do right now even under the mega-app vision. And attempting so under their current situation is a sure fire way to actually go bankrupt.
> launder ill-gotten wealth

Explain how this works?

The Saudi Sovereign Wealth Fund has a bunch of oil money. It's known to be an oppressive regime. It buys a bunch of Uber stock with that money, and its name is now in the cap table.

Everyone saw every transaction. Its name is still clearly there.

It also doesn't need to turn, say, drug money into carwash profits, to avoid suspicion from tax agencies, because it is the tax agency; it's sovereign.

And even if I'm not the Saudi Sovereign Wealth Fund, but a private individual, and I want to launder money, I don't see how buying Uber shares helps me do that, because I will still need to have gotten the cash from somewhere, and buying shares creates no pretext for where that cash might have come from.

Unless there's a wash trade thing going on? Where legitimate actor A buys shares to keep the price up, while illegitimate secret ally B sells shares, in order to transfer wealth from one to the other?

I don't think that's what you're saying though.

So what, really, do you mean?

Honestly I'm assuming this is just one of those rhetorical things that we say but haven't really thought about. But if there's meat there, I'd like to know.
Republicans have never been very good at machine-politics; their voters largely believe it shouldn't exist, but it has to exist in order for them to win, so you get sausage-makers like McConnell (who everybody hates) running everything.
> Selective Science
Unbalanced reporting. Cherry-picking the literature. All signs of pseudoscience. The anti-ice movement has neglected years of research on the mechanism of ice after injury, focusing only on a select few studies that support (but in reality DON’T support) their argument. Dr. Knight explained that ice is not an ‘anti-inflammatory’ per-say (Knight, 1976); rather, it prevents the secondary injury to tissues by dampening the negative physiological effects of widespread inflammation. His position has been supported by other researchers as well (Ho et al. 1994, Merrick et al. 1999). And to top it off, one study quoted against icing (Bleakley et al. 2004) even concluded, “The sooner after injury cryotherapy is initiated, the more beneficial this reduction in metabolism will be.” Hmmm…the anti-ice crowd must have missed that statement. [1]

> The Benefits of Ice
Ice is not wrong or harmful. The theory that ice impedes the normal healing response by limiting inflammation is not well documented in the literature. If you have been swayed by this on the internet, I would urge you to try to research this more and scrutinize the literature. Be careful of what you see on the internet and ALWAYS seek to validate anything yourself.

Ice has plenty of benefits and clinical validation.

Proper application of cryotherapy can reduce secondary injury and reduce edema formation if applied within the first 36 to 48 hours (remember, ice doesn’t reduce swelling after the acute injury phase, and may not play a huge role in inflammation or recovery). We do know that ice helps reduce pain, spasm, and guarding, allowing more mobility (Barber et al. 1998, Raynor et al. 2005). More than anything, ice is a convenient and potent pain reliever, so it’s ok to apply ice to ‘chronic’ conditions as a safer pain reliever at any time. In fact, cryotherapy has been shown to decrease the amount of prescription pain medications needed after surgery (Barber et al. 1998, Raynor et al. 2005).[1]

Ice has shown benefits in study and practice, and the above article has many cited studies and a critique of anti-ice articles.
Agreed - every time a license or a prepretual subscription (like JetBrains) needs to be repurchased is a natural moment to evaluate the usage and state of the software in question: Do we still like it, do we still use it as much, do new versions offer enough improvement to upgrade. If not, we don’t renew.

With subscription based software there is no set moment to do that, so there are naturally a lot of sleeping subscriptions and otherwise subscriptions which are rarely re-evaluated on its value. In my opinion this makes the vendor lazy.
This, in my opinion, is a very good thing. Learning _should_ be more about synthesis than about fact memorization anyways, it's recognized as one of the highest forms of learning under Bloom's Taxonomy.

While yes, it means that our education system will need to adapt, I hope it also means we'll be teaching our students better because they'll be encouraged to learn at a deeper level.
Is Apple Music the same thing as iTunes? I use it on windows to put music on my iPhone.
There are many answers to what is the meaning of life. Lacking some important aspects of life like family, career, etc. because of past decisions, or losing someone dear may put anyone in a situation where they question the very meaning of life and even when things are all fine we look for a purpose to make sense of things around us. Some philosophers look at this question and argue for passion, some inner peace. Frankl says one needs to seek their own meaning of life. Find whatever it is, make it meaningful for you and hold on to it.

If you are in a dark place do yourself a solid and try reading Frankl's book mentioned by OP. Reading about Montaigne's life (there's a recent bio book about him) may also help. Seneca's or Marcus Aurelius's writings will also help when it particularly comes to the issue of how worrying too much about things we can't control affects us. Every living breathing soul has their own demons and issues with life, you have yours so most importantly go easy on yourself.

i think you have a caricature of "leftists" in your mind. perhaps you dislike the degree to which "leftists" attempted to categorize hate speech, and that's fine, but you really are attempting to equate apples with oranges. taking away "privilege" from your ideological adversary when your whole premise has been "absolute" freedom doesn't really level the playing field. completely reversing course on your stated ideologies once you've attained power isn't championing anything other than hypocrisy
Me: write the steps of a good software developement life cycle

The steps of a good software development life cycle (SDLC) can vary depending on the specific process and approach being used, but generally, it includes the following phases:

Planning: In this phase, the project scope and objectives are defined, and a project plan is created. This includes identifying the resources (e.g. personnel, hardware, software) needed for the project and estimating the budget and timeline.

Analysis: In this phase, the requirements for the software are gathered and analyzed. This may involve gathering input from stakeholders, conducting user research, and creating a requirements document that outlines the functionality and features of the software.

Design: In this phase, the software architecture and design are developed. This includes designing the user interface and creating a detailed technical design document that outlines the technical requirements and specifications for the software.

Implementation: In this phase, the actual coding of the software takes place. This may involve writing code, integrating third-party libraries or frameworks, and testing the software to ensure it is functioning as intended.

Testing: In this phase, the software is thoroughly tested to ensure it meets the requirements and is of high quality. This may include unit testing, integration testing, and acceptance testing.

Deployment: In this phase, the software is deployed to production, made available to users, and any necessary support and maintenance activities are performed.

Maintenance: In this phase, the software is monitored and maintained to ensure it continues to meet the needs of the users and to fix any issues that may arise.

It's important to note that these phases may not always be completed in a linear fashion and may involve some iteration and overlap. The specific steps and processes involved in each phase will depend on the specific software development methodologies and approaches being used.

ME: generate a list of questions to ask chatgpt to flesh out the details of the above list

Here are some potential questions you could ask ChatGPT to flesh out the details of the software development life cycle:

What specific activities are typically included in the planning phase of the SDLC?
How do you gather and analyze requirements for a software project?
What are some best practices for designing a software architecture and user interface?
How do you ensure that the code you write is of high quality and follows best practices?
What types of testing are typically performed during the testing phase of the SDLC?
How do you ensure a smooth deployment of the software to production?
What are some common maintenance activities that are performed after a software is deployed?
How do you handle changes or updates to the software during the maintenance phase?
How do different software development methodologies and approaches affect the overall SDLC process?
How private markets became an escape from reality

I don't use Apple Music so can't comment, but the post explicitly says that it does. Perhaps you could explain what part of the post is wrong, or what the poster has misunderstood?
Or that could be how they learn. It reminds me of professors that let you create a exam "cheat sheet" (a single page in which you were allowed to include any facts or equations you thought might help you on the exam). So we spent hours scouring the textbook and assignments for good stuff to put on the cheat sheet. When it came time for the test, we often found out we rarely had to consult our sheet -- the act of creating it made us absorb the material.
