The only solution I can see is not a technological one, CO2 sinks is not reliable, too hypothetical, the solution is just low-conmsumption (my footprint is about 400kg CO2/year, no discomfort though), but we're too few to care trying it, sadly because it's actually beneficial on many levels
> Why C doesn't officially have nested functions is, well, that's C!

Maybe some day it will. It should anyway

But GCC and Clang already support it, and while I can't find if MSVC does, it probably does

edit: also, now I see that the goto in if (errno) goto err is really just an (inlined) tail call!
I wake up with the solutions to whatever I uploaded as a problem during the day, it only works if I think the problem is important so it isn't really often.
Is there consensus on that?
The problem with chatgpt is that I can't evaluate the source it used to learn the information to see if I think it's credible, and chatgpt can't give me any indication of whether it's credible or not, and its answer will be just as authoritative in tone if it's completely incorrect as if it's correct.

I asked it for a schematic to connect an i2c device to a microcontroller, it told me to directly connect the device to the microcontroller. I asked it if pull-up resistors were required, it said yes, and then drew what it called "pull-up resistors" (describing them correctly) incorrectly in series between the bus and the device.

I know that's wrong, but someone who doesn't really know what a pull-up resistor does or why they are there would be at least somewhat confused by that interchange, and would be misled into doing it wrong. Meanwhile, I can type in "i2c schematic" to google and get thousands of correct schematics back to look at.
When you generate a report they tell you which bits of your device were unique. For an iPhone running the latest iOS there is nothing in that list that leaks a significant number of bits.
Vaccine is against one type of flu. Maybe you didn’t get sick with the other one but only this one. This is what the article is talking about. Covering all flu so that you don’t get sick.
Modern point-and-shoots are amazing, too! As a professional I use the Ricoh GR IIIx on a regular basis and highly recommended it. Older models are also available and have somewhat of a cult following.
What makes you think a serial killer won't murder you today?

It could happen, but you'd be a fool to worry about it. Rational people round small risks down to zero and go about their lives instead of aging themselves worrying about every possibility.
I guess there are people out there who screenshots their viewfinder instead of shooting, apart from resolution that may work?
Is it just as amusing to you, the sensation of being 100% convinced the idea is absolutely brilliant, only to review it and find its nonsense?
This looks great. I like how it's designed for self-paced instruction rather than classroom instruction. I noticed it doesn't appear to support multi-line input. Is that planned?

BTW, to monetize this, you might create module-specific tutorials (like Pandas, Pygame, etc.) and implement a "pay what you want" system where $10 or more buys 5 modules.
No, this is according to the report that EFF generates. Have you tried looking at it? What on that list lets you identify the device?
Maybe to you, but I imagine the distinction is less important to the animal.
Thanks! This looks really interesting.
I really wonder how the economics of running chatgpt for Bing's request will work. GPT is anything but cheap to run, IIRC, it requires more than four A100 GPU cards.
> There is a reason for the "Meth, not even once" PSAs and memes. The drug is really just that addictive that it can ruin people's lives by getting them hooked after just one session.

If you believe the propaganda - memes are not a quality source of information. You need to be less willing to repeat what you've heard sand more willing to dig out the facts. The same is said of crack ("one hit and you're hooked") but it's a lie. I've spent several full evenings smoking it and I am not going back to it. To some people, maybe one shot and then doom, but to most it's an incremental downward slope depending on many factors. Not denying crack is a bastard and I would probably not support legalising it either, but please don't parrot back rubbish you've been told.

If this is still the level of HN debate ion drugs, to repeat soundbite anti-drug propaganda, I feel we're getting nowhere and burning a lot of fuel doing it.

I used an Alesis Quadraverb GT with an ART X-11 midi foot switch since 1991. I love great sounding pedals as much as the next guitarist, but I really didn't enjoy the care and feeding of a pedal board (those were pretty much all DIY in that era). The Alesis is still working 100% at age 32.
to calibrate, here's my guess for Sweden:

SE 24 252 73

left: Vänsterpartiet
centre: everyone else
right: Sverigedemokraterna

but the current government (Moderata/Kristdemokraterna/Liberalerna) is solidly centre-right. (w/ Socialdemokraterna as centre-left opposition)

Is this close to reasonable?

We're going to have a generation of people that are cock sure about things because ... ai, but they won't actually know jack shift. It sort of happened with google. People can figure something out but they don't systematically get things. Shallow explanation. Goldfish attention span
I firmly believe that life on Earth was triggered by spores meeting water and developing mycelium networks breaking down minerals into nutrients and slowly taking advantage of photosynthesis to develop more complex life forms. Spores can easily resist the vacuum of space, and pass any form of great filter. They do help create enzymes and uptake nutrients, they do help break down minerals, they do communicate with entire ecosystems, and so much more we barely understand. This would mean that fungi are of alien origin.
They havent "announced" anything. It would make cost-per-query and latency go through the roof, so its HIGHLY unlikely.
This is really my point. I'm not arguing that the appraiser should only look at the artwork with their own eyes. Rather, the degree to which phones are enhancing photos is not transparent to the average end user and therefore is risky to use in an application that relies on the details of an image being scrutinized.
These specifically, not that I know of. But gag orders in general? Nebraska Press v. Stuart, 3 part test: harm to the person being gagged, least restrictive means, and effectiveness of the order. That was in a press case, where the burden is much higher on the government than in these cases.

Specific gag orders can and have failed in appeals!

The problem with this argument as it pertains to warrant canaries is that defeating the gag order also defeats the purpose of the warrant canary. The question we're begging here is: if the gag order survives strict scrutiny, why won't the order to keep the canary up?
Literally this. You'd have to twist yourself into a legal pretzel to somehow claim that because teachers act in loco parentis for children in their care that now somehow their supervisors have power of attorney over their charges.

This is one of those cases where the idiots involved deserve to get hit with a huge fine for filing a frivolous lawsuit. No, not the school district, but those involved. Personally.
> Yeah man, the CDC probably knew the right path from the beginning, but they lied to us and said not to use masks

Your tone suggests sarcasm, but this claim is literally true.
If it wasn't an expectation, then it SHOULD have been. People are allowed to remember and record what you yell on the street, just like they are allowed to remember and record what you post on a public platform for anyone to see.
I can imagine AI replacing search engines in a somewhat far future, but in the meantime, it'll mostly be used to flood the internet with many low quality articles. Consequence will be as you said, but I also wonder if it won't lower the quality of new AI trainings as well.
I started reading _The_Electric_Kool-Aid_Acid_Test_ by Tom Wolfe a few months ago. He relates how Ken Kesey would write while high as a kite, to help the flow of ideas, and then edit sober.

I didn't end up finishing the book, because it was all just too foreign a subject for me to get into.
On top of that, people insist you take a dozen photos of anything at all. If someone asks you to take their photo today, and you take just one and hand the phone back, you are seen as a sort of gruff asshole. Then the phone itself is recording a video for each photo, so you now have 30 frames to choose for each photo.
I think the premise that no social media = no depressed kids is pretty weak, imo.

Also, what's social media? Are messaging apps not social media?

This feels like another one of those 'violent video games are bad' arguments.
Love these suggestions. Definitely makes dynamic analysis heaps easier. A lot of our blog posts tend to focus on static analysis but it may be worth mentioning these techniques going forward.
It's not a serious B2B effort. It's just a way to collect some money from individuals who want to slap a graphic on their GitHub project or their lawnmowing service.
Thanks! I'm sure there's lots of good stuff out there but I'm afraid I have no plans to generalise to other programming languages myself. Many of the special magical features of futurecoder are things I specifically built in Python and wouldn't even know how to replicate in other languages.
While I agree with the authors that large language models only trained on text lack the ability to distinguish "possible worlds" from reality, I think there is a path ahead.

Large language models might be excellent candidates for evolutionary methods and RL. They need to learn from solving language problems on a massive scale. But problem solving could be the medicine that cures GPT-3's fuzziness, a bit of symbolic exactness injected into the connectionist system.

For example: "Evolution through Large Models" https://arxiv.org/abs/2206.08896

They need learning from validation to complement learning from imitation.
Taylor, I really enjoyed this post, and I shared it with my engineering team and also group chats.

At Wyndly, we're a software-enabled allergy immunotherapy practice (https://www.wyndly.com/pages/immunotherapy). I have a background in software engineering, and I had to learn that code wasn't always the solution. Better code doesn't mean better business outcomes for us! Sometimes I say "Every line of code is a liability!", because it's now something a small team has to support forever.

Your three bullets on how to build are something I agree with so much! Arguably, this is something everyone outside of an at-scale product should build while finding product-market fit and growth channels:

- Focus on building simple solutions that solve real, urgent user problems, in well-worn ways.

- Use battle-tested software and platforms that are stable and don’t change too much over time.

- Only integrate with third parties when it’s absolutely necessary for solving those real, urgent problems.

Thank you for sharing!
Can you relate to us the legal opinions you've gotten about using your "canary" as a transparency log?
Yeah to extend your point, this struggle with how to even define objectivity has been present at the core of science and journalism throughout modernity.

The drawings in old field guides are curated to a supposed "idealized" form based on their use case (i.e., to be recognized in the wild by other researchers). Those specific idealized versions don't actually exist, though.

There was a famous instance of a ww1 phototographer (dont remember his name) who would allegedly move dead bodies around in his shots to better capture what he thought was the emotional reality through the resulting image rather than what the literal scene was.

We can have all the computerized scanning of the universe at our disposal but ultimately there's always the analog hole of our judgement in its interpretation
"The amphetamines are all similarly addictive" oh, you mean like pseudoephedrine (sold as sudafed) and crystal meth? Blatantly they are not.
I might actually agree with you, because if anyone did a study on icons in cars that are "obviously" better, they'd find they are much worse than using language.

For example, the fuel icon is a picture of a fuel pump with an arrow on one side of it, say on the right side pointing to the right.

Does this mean:

1. The fuel pump goes on the left side of the car and one inserts the pump to the right

2. The fuel pump goes on the right side of the car and one inserts the pump to the left

Both are quite reasonable interpretations. I always have to stop and think which one it is. If it said "cap on right" then there's no ambiguity.
You still wouldn't want to throw for the success case, so the point is meaningless. And of course you can return early on success in C++, and continue to process details further otherwise, with zero difficulty, so there is no cause for embarrassment.

Rust people should be embarrassed if they carved out something special for this niche case.
It’s definitely a more refined type of clickbait— a step above the local news reporting on some fake drug trend. But film is alive and well!

A more accurate title for this might be, “Group of Gen Z people discover new hobby.”
That's by far the least interesting usage of RAII and also, annoyingly, the only one the article discusses.

The better usage by far is describing ownership. Does a function that takes a pointer take ownership of the pointer? Who knows! It's a mystery! Does a function that takes a std::unique_ptr take ownership of the pointer? You're goddamn right it does.

Now do the same with things like file descriptors. Managing FDs in Linux is nightmare difficulty because if you get it wrong there's almost never a crash or segfault to tell you about it. Valgrind won't help you find it. Nothing helps you, you're entirely on your own. In Rust the compiler validates ownership for you, trivially made robust. In C++ you can make a "unique_fd" or similar, and at least make accidental mistakes harder. In C? Idk, apparently according to this article that's just a "many small allocations" and you're just a shitty programmer for doing that (wow, such useful advice lol)
The first half is wrong too. GPS has nothing to do with satellites being able to see lots of things from high up. The whole thing is just nonsense that looks plausibly like an explanation until you try to decipher it.
It's amazing how P2P basically doesn't exist anywhere. Open source got taken over completely by federated/self hosted, or Blockchain.

Commerical stuff is all cloud based, for some reason (Even surveillance doesn't explain it, you can put telemetry in proprietary P2P apps)

We have really good long range Bluetooth and LoRa and yet there is not one decent affordable alternative to decades old analog FRS after all this time.

It's like devs want everything to fall apart the moment the internet goes down.
I’m in the same boat, also upgraded from the X to 14 Pro just like you. It’s infuriating the amount of alterations it performs without my asking. Also equally infuriating is how buggy the whole camera app has become. Changing lenses uncontrollably, weird glitchy artefacts outside of the main canvas, live photos stutter, the additional “step” it does when showing a photo after it loads which ruins the whole looks. It’s a fall from grace and I don’t understand how Apple thinks it’s acceptable to ship this.
How would the school board sue drug cartels or hobos? Those are only slightly more ridiculous than suing TikTok.
As the author, this sounds good to me! I'll probably even change the actual title to match. I originally was going to make it a question mark and the only reason I didn't is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betteridge%27s_law_of_headline... when I think the answer is probably "could probably be somewhat done" rather than "no".
I remember when web search engines were new. And boy did they suck. You wouldn’t get what you wanted a lot of the time, and they were very finicky about the input query.

These days you can just throw stuff at it like “that movie about the depressed guy with a plane engine that falls on their house”

I’m not sure ChatGPT is going to replace search engines, but I’m confident that it is incredibly young and will evolve considerably.
This lawsuit is an embarrassment using a compilation of anti social media arguments including misleading ones where the truth is twisted to make an argument.

>Meta also delays the time it takes to load the feed. “This is because without
that three-second delay, Instagram wouldn’t feel variable.”

This isn't a fact. They are literally quoting speculation from Vice while making it seem like an official quote from Meta. Twitter and Instagram take time to load the feed because it's a nontrivial operation. I'd expect adding fake delays to your app will just cause people to get annoyed and use your app less.
This is a case study of myocarditis after an influenza vaccine. This single data point, or even the fact that this is a possible immune reaction doesn't really speak to the issue I'm asking about.

In the last few years a slew of COVID vaccines were widely deployed without myocarditis as a complication. The Pfizer and Moderna vaccines made headline news for their elevated risk of myocarditis, and resulted in changes in vaccine recommendations for certain demographics. Both were mRNA based. Do they have other things in common, dosage, proteins, preservatives, shelf lives? What else is similar between them and different from the other vaccines?
Perhaps we'll see OpenAI grow to be the Google of 2022?
The lack of tooling for XSLT and modern JavaScript stuff are on different sides of the adoption curve. XSLT lacked tooling on the upside of the curve so it never hit critical mass. Its other problems could have been solved had it hit critical mass and seen wider adoption.

It seems like an article from Kodak or Nokia. It's only a matter of time, and it will be sooner rather than later, that multimodal LLMs will replace search engines. All of the problems mentioned in the article are being addressed as we speak.

I think artificialness is always distinguishable by other sapient creatures, we might miss some of the less complex ones.
It is a cool hobby.

Just a note of caution it is no way to save money though.

You can save money over expensive boutiques, but if you want a Tubescreamer for less money, Behringer make one for $20!

This works in non-dysfunctional organizations only. In dysfunctional ones, the inmates are running the asylum and you will be scoffed at if your code doesn't follow the latest trends and buzzwords (e.g. functional programming). Nobody represents the business value - the product owner cares only about features being delivered and doesn't care (or, usually, understand) how the engineers do it, and the engineers are busy outnerding each other with "cool" tech. If you'll propose simple solutions using old and reliable tech, the team will think you're a lazy moron.

Every single time I've seen this claim made and the person shared their methodology for searching on Google, it becomes very apparent that the problem is not Google, but the user.
At least in the NYC public schools in the 80's, we were taught to hold a pen/pencil as you describe.

I remember having one friend who held the writing instrument between his index and middle fingers, the thumb at the tip. Really odd in the way he held it, and every teacher we had for 4 years, at the least, tried to correct him.

I tried holding a pen as in the video, and even just miming, it felt really unnatural.
So nice to see this and makes me wish we had an open bug tracker with responsive developers for MacOS.

Another way to think about these kinds of requests in a future AI world is to ask yourself why you're asking these questions? My take:

"Computer, can you write and deliver a message to my kid that explains how GPS works?"

"Computer, can you tell me what risks there are at dining at McDonalds down the street?"

"Computer, can you read this paper [link] and tell me why it's referencing Claude Shannon?"

"Computer, I need to waste some time - please use HN to help me"

"Computer, tell me about any plans that I have for today"
On the website, they explicitly warn against using generics. I guess that is to be expected. But they specifically say that using generics can clog the device or cause other problems because they are not in the right ratio or of the wrong grain size. Did you ever have any problems in that regard?
Yes. I'm a fan of my browser's default font. If you are of a similar mind, you can use reader mode on this site or just turn off the stylesheet.

Au contraire, ChatGPT has already replaced search engines for me, at least for generalized knowledge searches. It provides better and more personalized answers to my questions than Google and is an excellent way to learn about new topics. It's not 100% accurate and can even be misleading, but that is hardly different than other search engines. Once more people catch on to how incredibly useful ChatGPT is its use will become ubiquitous (and we've barely even scratched the surface of what these tools can do)
I'm in NYC and my odds of finding a craft beer that isn't an IPA (or possibly sour) are slim to none if I'm not at a beer bar like Proletariat or Burp Castle (two random examples). I've managed to find one brewery I really like in New Hampshire called Schilling Beer Co that mostly focuses on European beers and has a really good food menu as well. It's a shame more places don't have more diverse beer menus.
They already have to formulate a new flu shot twice a year because of how fast the flu changes. And the efficacy of the new flu shot each time ranges between 10-50%, so even if everybody got the shot, it wouldn't stop the flu.
GPS doesn't talk to the satellites, but the satellites do send a message that allows the GPS to answer "where am I" for itself. It's not the worst way to explain things at that level, even if it's misleading.

About half the (presumably human) "eli5 GPS" answers I found on Reddit made the same mistake, so chatGPT just copied an apparently popular misconception.
