Maybe don’t comment on things you don’t know much about?

Lazy data structures can be very efficient (slower than mutable one in single-threaded execution, but much faster for concurrent usage) and they definitely don’t copy everything every time.
But at least I can see the commands being ran by `make` and work backwards from there. In VisualStudio you have to click around in a bunch of “Properties” menus (which may or may not have search boxes…) and eventually you may find what you’re looking for.
I think it means that reference type objects stay allocated forever, but I'm not sure. From [0]: If an API allocates as part of its operation and doesn't return that as result, it's not good. We don't have a GC. This is all memory leaks.

> I don't know what REST is "really" supposed to mean [1], but every time I saw it used, it basically meant RPC with JSON over HTTP

That "basically" is doing a lot of work in your claim. Show me the equivalent of idempotency that clients and servers can depend on in any standard RPC spec. If there is no such guarantee, then REST is not RPC.

Certainly you can in some sense mimic REST using RPC per the Turing tarpit, just like you can simulate RPC in REST, but that's not the same as saying REST is RPC.
Big thumps up if this is the question of a climate denier: No we are not having thet because of dumping a lot of CO2 that had been captured over millions of years into the atmosphere, but it is because French's nuclear plants are so rusty that we now used so much more biomass - lol.

If this ""winter"" continues like that I believe we will even use less gas/coal than previous years.. not sure why you think this year is record-setting.. we just switched to different sources?
> I imagine it won’t be long before there’s a permanent action item for every meeting to schedule the next one

Would still be a repeating meeting. The way it is entered into the calendar software does not change that.
That's a pretty useless quote. It entirely ignores the fact the economic systems all exist on a spectrum from extreme libertarianism to complete state ownership. The question has never been capitalism versus socialism, it's always been "how much regulation do we want as a society in exchange for a higher floor in our quality of life?" (and its follow up, did that regulation actually achieve its goals?)
I wonder if this particular mixup is due to people using voice dictation instead of typing. iOS makes that particular error all the time when I dictate.

This particular spelling mixup seems unlikely to persist because people know and understand both words, and it's considered basic knowledge, like your/you're, and I would expect similar memes and derision for people who don't attempt to distinguish them.
Maybe the "talk about your issue and get a diagnosis" area of practice (internal medicine?); since far less sophisticated manual labor can't yet be automated, surgeons are going to be irreplaceable for longer than, say, BI, and many backend or frontend developers.
Yeah, likely just another liberal shill who lost his dream job, eating burgers at Twitter social meeting rooms.

These hi-tech firms aren't much different than state-owned companies where a bunch of "workforce" consists of rulling-party members sitting all day every day, doing nothing.

Yes, I was talking about the jelly bean stain stuff and the cartoons. I don’t see the point.

Many of the disagreeable personalities I dealt with over the years were that way to co-workers and direct reports. They were completely different when dealing with their superiors. They did well because of that, even when employee opinion surveys (if they were managers) were factored in.

I agree it would be an admission of failure. But so would trying to compete with AWS, IMO. So if they are so out of ideas that they theoretically need to get into that business then doing in in stages would look less bad. At least that is my theory. I’m sure this whole meta verse thing is going to take off any day now.
You need to do additional steps in both cases:

With modules you need some sort of wrapper application to bring it all together.

With microservices you need some sort of network layer so that the microservices can talk to each other.
I urge lawmakers to completely regulate this so called 'crypto industry' before this number goes to $14B or higher in 2023.

Crypto, NFTs, Blockchain and the rest of this nonsense should never have existed in the first place.

And yet we enter another year where there is still no legitimate usecase for all of this whatsoever.

I think that fact could be reflected in his use of coffee enemas to treat his pancreatic cancer that was easily treatable with chemotherapy which the coffee enemas ultimately resulted in his own death.
It’s not really an issue, it’s just a different focus. I get far more use of cash26 (in-store) withdrawals anyway.

DKB and ING Diba require 12€/year for a giro card, and either "aktivstatus" (DKB) or 50€ minimum for free withdrawals.

"no it's okay I just brought my laptop to take notes, just like the other 45 engineers in this meeting."
This looks really cool. Applying a thin layer over parts of the standard library is a very good idea IMO. Reduces the dependency tree but a lot.

One question (my Swing knowledge is at least 15 years old!): what's the simplest way to handle events using this? Eg taking the FormTest [1] example, how might one simply bind a model object to the UI elements?

It's well documented that controversial topics are subject to varying degrees of censorship and prompt editing/modification/appending. What you think may be a response in alignment with corporate media may in fact be corporations disallowing you from obtaining actual responses through various means that are being tested now. We can't know unless we have open source access to the unmodified model.

How much has it changed the average thinking (of the people reached) or enlightened the average person weighted by how many people it has reached. Net enlightenment per post.

I critique your comment: the use of the word trap implies an inherent negativity to view count. As dang has written, often some of these raw numbers (similar to the length of a comment on HN) have a strong correlation with the quality of the content.
I’m following a few creators on patreon who have a two/three steps approach.

The video will be on youtube from the start, but as a private video. From there a part of their patreons might get very early access (e.g. CGP Grey has a tier for spell checking and gross errors spotting), and then all patreons get access to the final video. But still private (and/or exposed to channel paying members)

After a short time (a day at most) the video gets public and is fully dispatched to everyone on Youtube.
Getting it to cite a source is easy: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34016435

Getting it to cite one that actually exists, ah, now that's a hard problem. Given how slimmed down the tech currently is, even if one can hypothesize some mechanism for having the system keep track of where it got certain ideas (and it is not at all obvious to me how to encode into an otherwise notoriously opaque neural net where ideas came from, given that we can't even point at an "idea" or "concept" or "fact" in a neural net at all), it is hard to imagine it wouldn't take so many additional resources that we'd have to trim the model size down to tiny fractions of what it is now.

For all the people going "wow" at the current state of GPT, I wouldn't be surprised that in 20 years it's actually seen as a dead end. I'm also impressed, but at the same time, I'm seeing the limitations it has for practical use. The hypotheses about why pure neural net approaches are going to be too problematic to use are basically coming true. AI models that can't give human-comprehensible reasons for their conclusions, including attestation of sources, are too dangerous to use. They're just black boxes, and for all you know someone's got their finger on the scale of the black boxes. OpenAI is already doing that, quite visibly, and even if you are comfortable with their reasons for doing so today, you should conclude from the fact they basically immediately stuck their fingers on the scale that you aren't getting some super AI to answer your questions, but a manifestation of some particular group of human's answer to your questions. But... I can already get that! I don't need to pay OpenAI to AI-wash their answers.
>Are there any significant blogs still active on blogger?

Why does that matter?

It's an easy and free way to host a blog if you want to start a blog. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles you can get with Wordpress but if you just want to start a basic blog, it's perfectly suitable.
Admirable goals, but doesn't keeping it limited to C++ keep the potential for backers limited? Whole-assing one thing is better than half-assing two I guess, but it's an interesting initial language. Is C++ tooling in particular that bad?
The key word is "independently".
And how much of it has actually been realized as dollars?
Part of the issue is that not everyone understands the trade-offs or perhaps believes the trade-offs so you get teams/leaders haphazardly ignoring expert guidance and crafting careless micro-services around team boundaries that do not line up with value.

Usually the kinds of people who can direct harassment at you go for the lowest hanging fruit, so any amount of obfuscation or barrier will deter most of them, unless you're a very high profile target (i.e. you're Keffals).

The entire model doesn't even rely on being entirely undiscoverable - the point is that you don't need to step back from public life because a bunch of weirdos like stalking you, it can be as easy as having a publicly visible profile with a lock on it. This prevents following, but unlike Twitter you're not entirely excluded from making public posts that anyone can interact with. You can just do a baseline of filtering when accepting followers and deciding which posts to make public or private. You'd be surprised how many of these stalkers and harassers can't make a profile that passes a basic "vibe check" - they either try too hard at putting together a profile or they don't bother at all.

Fedisearch and related projects are frowned upon because they would make it much more trivial to find people who are not yet targets based on a soundbite and to go through someone's "permanent record" (most implementations do not backfill posts made before the user was initially followed from an account on the same instance).

On page 113 we find the following most associated with low-aggreableness:

> Fault-finding, cold, unfriendly, quarrelsome

And with high-aggre,

> Sympathetic, Kind, appreciative, affectionate

Now I do not read either as having to do with the picture of "selfish, combative, and manipulative".

I find the agreeable kind of manipulativeness, ie., the "Jerry-kind" (from Rick & Morty) just as egregious as the "Rick-kind".

What might equally be said of this study is that "agreeable methods of manipulation" are as effective as "disagreeable ones" in aggregate.
I'm curious about this. I've been using Twitter for some time and haven't noticed much in the way of change. What do you mean by "taking on the establishment media"? How is Twitter doing this when it's a platform for content creators and isn't producing original content? Fox News, the New York Times, CNN, the BBC, etc. are all still publishing content as they have been for years.

I did notice that Twitter began banning people who the now CEO dislikes, and then letting some previously banned people back on such as the newly under arrest Andrew Tate who is almost certainly a participant in human trafficking.
Yes and they were advocating for simplicity as a possible (starting) way for Meta.
Just look at the current state of Twitter if you want a further illustration of the issues with capricious feudal tech lords.

Not the person you responded to but I find it an interesting situation. I agree with you that jobs (from what I've read) seems to be awful but at the same time I don't believe theft is okay. If I pay someone to do a job and they choose not to do the job after taking my money they have stolen my money. I am not okay with that. In this case jobs invested in them. It was clearly enough money to give him power over them. He had an agenda, they decided they didn't like the agenda and weren't going to do it his way and he came in and cracked heads (in an awful way probably). They can choose not pick his way, but BEFORE they take his money. Once they take the money they are obligated to do it his way or give the money back in my opinion.
The only real problem with Swing is that there was never a version 2. If it had been separated from AWT, updated some of the APIs and given a modern look-and-feel, it would still be relevant today. JavaFX is nice, but it broke too many conventions.

And, of course, Oracle or OpenJDK (or someone) needed to invest in a browser port of the JVM, which is totally possible these days.
Weird that someone so high up doesn't bother to use capitalisation at all. It seems so messy.

Edit: Not sure why the downvotes? I am referring to Sergey Brin's email, he doesn't use any capitals in that email. It just looks very careless.
It is common for some Microsoft groups to sabotage the work of others.

See Longhorn, with its design ideas being redone in COM from Vista onwards.

XNA being dropped on the floor, replaced by DirectXTK.

C++/CX being replaced by C++/WinRT with complete disregard for the developer experience, and when they got tired of working on it, they left it on its C++17 state without VS tooling, and started hacking away on Rust/WinRT, which still can't even support COM authoring.

XAML Islands being replaced by WinUI 3/WinAppSDK without the same level of tooling and feature set as UWP and WinUI 2.x.

Which might help them achieve whatever KPIs they need, but burn bridges in the developer community, and then they are surprised that even the most hardcore supporters no longer jump into adopting their tech solutions as in the "Developers, Developers, Developers" days.

The battery won't spin and lose all charge, it has a breaker mechanism that will stop it similar to how seatbelts work, it gets stuck if it pulls too hard. This is to prevent damaging a circuit if you forget resistors.

Of course this is a model of how electricity should work, but it is still useful and they document the differences from "real" electricity decently in the books.

In any case its a super fun toy and I highly recommend getting it!

This is imho a pure tooling problem.

We still use a loosely representation (text) for a semantically very rich data format (code). When you look at this objectively that's madness.

We should finally use proper editors for our semantically rich data format instead of "dumb" text editors. (Which are by now actually not so dumb, and which do again completely crazy things to re-extract the semantic information from a representation that inherently erased this information while we're used a loosely text representation).

We should imho eventually switch to "binary source code" and start using proper tools to edit this data.

What we do currently is like editing Excel sheets in a hex editor…

Binary source code (or at least something in the ballpark of XML tech) would also solve a lot of other problems: For example the rendering of the data on screen would be independent form the actual data on disc. This means bitching around "code style" and even partly syntax could finally end. The stuff on screen could be rendered with the help of some "style sheets". Everybody would get the preferred look & feel for their code. (We do this already partly with syntax highlighting; we "just" need to extend this concept). Also things like version control, dependencies, and such, could be build in. Proper indices for searching (and refactoring code) could be also added (things that our editors today compute anyway, but in some ad hoc and very language specific way). Compilation of such code would be faster as all the parsing wouldn't be needed (as it would happen already in the editor; actually, also what is already done today, only that we than again throw away this information for no reason, so the compiler "may" regenerate it over and over on every run, instead that this stuff ends up in a kind of database which could be even part of the "binary source code" format).

I guess some innovative editor features nobody even considered until now would be also enable this way.

It's time for progress!

(Most likely, as almost always, someone will come up with some references to very old systems that did already this because they were ahead of their time; let's see what new stuff I'm going to learn this time :-D).

I think you are missing one point: mental load. I doubt people keep all their files in one directory or all their emails in one folder or just have one large drawer with every possible kitchen utensil in a pile. The same is true for code. Organizing your code around some logical divisions allows for thunking. I will agree that some people take it too far and focus too much on "perfect". But even some rudimentary directories to separate "areas" of code can save a lot of unnecessary mental gymnastics.
My knee always gets achey right before a technological singularity hits.
I wonder what the author thinks of Sublime Text. Fast everything (search, opening files, switching projects…) is a big part of Sublime’s value proposition, one that has so far survived the era of VSCode. And AFAIK it is written in C++, and can certainly be used to write C++.

I would feel bad for people who lost money in crypto if every time I tried to warn them during the bubble they wouldn't have said 'have fun staying poor' and called me ignorant. It is tough to remain motivated to try and convince people that they are making bad decision when they actively berate you.

It feels like telling someone about to jump into the shallow end of a swimming pool from a balcony that they are going to really hurt themselves and that the 2 feet of shallow water is not deep enough to buffer the fall, and them telling me I just don't understand and they use a new measuring system and the pool depth is in feet which is a made up measurement too so their measurement is just as valid and they can make it any depth they want to because they believe it and everyone else around does too.

Then they jump feet first and break their legs. A friend behind them says it is their own fault for going in feet first and dives head first and breaks his neck. Another friend says 'bad luck, but you know how many people break their neck walking to swimming pools measured in feet?' and jumps sideways and breaks his collarbone.

At that point 'welp, I tried'.
GPT has no reasoning ability, it has billions of parameters that make it pretend it has it, purely going off of previously digested material.

As long as it comes across some reasoning process that have not been seen before in the training wordset, which can be as easy as a middle school math question, it fails. Because it has no ability to extrapolate logic.

If it manages to pass Bar test, that says more about the Bar test than it says about GPT.
