It certainly wasn't a couple weeks ago and this has been going on a lot longer than a years ago.
I've started reading a lot more, again. I just read 10-15 years "in arrears". There's so much highly-produced crap, out there, it boggles the mind. The immediate last two books I read that violated this rule (both fantasy; both "top shelf") should've been novellas, but were made novel-length. The authors' writing skills were insufficient to carry the length; as a result I just gave up on what were, otherwise, good stories (and good authors). Personally, I think this is an editor/publisher thing.

(The books were: "The House in the Cerulean Sea" and "The Bear and the Nightingale".)
Delightful, works at first try and the code looks well organized.

I am taking a guess that it has strongly variable steering, if the steering is fully electric. That is, if the car is going slowly, it will let you turn the wheels a lot with little movement, to U-turn, parallel park, etc. Those things are in the "correct" steering position, so you shouldn't really need the fully wheel, but you often do in practice during those maneuvers because you need to go more than 90 degrees. I am also aware that a lot of people don't like the "ideal" racing / safety position for their hands. So I do think the answer is "because it looks cool" at the end of the day despite the above "reasoning" applying to a small group.

It's really good on things that are not hard but boring, which makes it extremely valuable.

For example, I needed a tag cloud in SwiftUI. Very easy but very boring task, I guess there are tons of libraries for it but I don't like using libraries for this kind of things.

As if it's my junior, I told ChatGPT to generate a tag cloud and it did. It got the main things right but I need it to loop through an array of custom Structs, gave the structure of the Struct and told it to modify the algorithm. ChatGPT did it very well, as if understood the structure of my custom Struct type.

But I needed the tags be clickable, told it to make it clickable and it did and it correctly guessed how to connect a property from my custom type to the click action. I told it to change the colors, size etc and it was able to do it all. Sometimes it generated incorrect syntax but that wasn't a problem because I told to fix it and it did.

If having a junior developer as an assistant isn't valuable, I don't know what is.

I also use it to drill down on my curiosities. Yesterday I was curious how a torrent client can connect to peers to share a file and I made chatGPT explain to me step by step how NAT works, what strategy developers use to overcome issues with it(If curious, apparently they use this thing called STUN server, which is basically a remote machine that the client can connect to learn its own remote IP address). So it's not just a junior but also an expert in a domain that can answer questions conversationally. Much better that Googling keywords because Google is ridden with spam and tries to be clever about your queries without actually being clever. So once I learned the technical keywords like STUN server, then Google became useful again.

This opened up my eyes. My pseudo is "ploum" and I have the ploum.net domain since 2006/2007. I’ve used the ploum@ploum.net adress for years but it became unbearable regarding spam.

It took me this post to make the link that, in France, "ploum ploum" means "whatever random thing" and that surely people are filling "ploum@ploum" as a random address in every web form.

Must be even worse for the ploum.com domain.
Thanks for the information. I'm interested, but can't figure out:

Where is the data stored? "In the cloud" (on their servers)? Is there an option to store the data locally and never connect to their servers?

Tyler Cowen on AI
Self help are wrong terminology imo. I'm just listening (I order a physical book), a Dale Carnegie's 'How to win friends and influence people', and I think it's one of the best book I have read. It's full of examples and published in 1936! Still relevant today, lot's of a good advices and things we knew but forgot. Nothing pushy, just logical.
When it comes to "ChatGPT is wrong about this one thing", a miss is as good as a mile.

The book Gödel, Escher, Bach has a set of dialogues between Achilles and the Tortoise over a record player that is an allegory for Gödel's theorem and other limits of computation. Hofstadter points out that it doesn't matter if you are doing computing with neural networks, tinker-toys, lasers, whatever.

The concept of "the truth" is problematic in many ways, in that one can make statements like "This statement is not truthful", call a social media site "Truth Social", put a label like "The Truth is out There" on the intro of the X files, etc. Being able to talk about "the truth" probably erodes our ability to know the truth.

Thus "the truth" is not something that comes in a can that you can paint onto a model, trying to close what looks like a little gap (in some ways it is a little gap) is like pushing a bubble around underneath a carpet.
Count me in in saying that there is something about these older movies that eclipses almost all "entertainment" these days. It is mostly the storytelling ranging from "the message" to the dialogue. None of it resonates with me.
It was the golden age of special effects, when weak computing power had to be supplemented with effects as craft - mechanical and chemical. Those impressive liquid metal bullet holes are NOT computer-generated:

Could you give a bit more detail where to get the information that we need to put into the header?

Looking at https://github.com/raspberrypi/raspiraw/blob/master/imx477_m... it's not immediately obvious where to get the all the values from.

Fiddling with "struct mode_def imx477_modes[]" when you already have the rest of the header file would be the obvious thing to do and would probably work out fine but that is mostly trial-and-error and not a proper method.

> Using these accessors, the VMs become able to do anything that JS can do.

In fact the source language is likely to be JS itself; a JS-to-some-sort-of-vm-bytecode-to-JS compiler is made. I know that Tencent has a similar VM; an interesting aspect of that VM is that the instruction set is dependent on the code being compiled (and the opcodes are dynamically generated and shuffled when compiling), so unused instructions are not generated.
Hi all,

we are working on a couple of problems in this thread in terms of automation. We want to build this into a product.

Feel free to reach out, we would love to hear your perspectives: hn@aloma.io
When you say "people" I hope that you mean "minority of people". Yes, I've heard people saying that laptops will go away. Some people said that. Yes. Some people.

Web3 is just laughable. Again, some people.

Google is obviously not dead.

However, I think with AI, there's a huge potential. It will change the world, the way some things are done and some jobs are gonna go away and new jobs will appear. Much more disrupting than a f web3 joke.

How I Got into Software
I suspect (I may be wrong) that most of the moderators on the bigger subreddits have patrons in one way or another.
Probably a bit late, but I think if you want to preserve an iOS version before updating, you have to back it up with the sync tool. At least that is how you do it when installing beta versions and want to rollback, if you don't have the backup, you're out of luck.

the Simulator has improved a lot over recent years I've found. We couldn't use it for ages as accessing metal would cause it to crash, I noticed late last year this no longer happens, making it a viable solution for us again.

I'm 70% into the 6th book of Dune Chronicles. I've never read so much literature like now. On the same token, I completely lost passion for non-fiction and mainstream news. The latter became so unbearable to me that I can't even scroll pages anymore. I do enjoy reading some blogs though, which I visit frequently for new insights. I've learned about most of them via HN.
I almost never use zz. I prefer setting scrolloff to a fairly high number like 50.

Scrolloff short for scroll offset is the number of lines vim ensures between the cursor and the modeline, as well as between the cursor and the top of the screen.

Super useful for always keeping a good amount of context visible. You can even set it so high the cursor is always centered.

To be fair, the comment didn't say "every expensive and high demand neighborhood in america is walkable and transit accessible" either.

Never forget that most statements, especially imprecise ones like the one you quoted can be interpreted in many ways. It is very easy to find an interpretation that is incorrect, especially if you disagree with/dislike the premise.

The reason I say this is that your single example didn't seem to disprove the statement in my eyes. I read the statement as meaning that walkable neighborhoods are in most cases in much higher demand than other neighborhoods in the same region.

I don't really think either of us is wrong, more that the imprecision of the statement and language in general can be unfortunate and cause disagreement.

Also note that nobody will ever respond well to being accused of a logical fallacy. They are useful to understand what is happening and to rile people up. Not so much to convince anyone (that doesn't already agree with you) about anything.

How much stuff do you have? If you are thinking of using software to inventory then maybe you should just get rid of things.

I use lots of stackable transparent plastic boxes. Group all the common fungible items together in their own boxes like power, network, USB cables, USB plugs, USB adapters, etc.

Non-fungible stuff like drives, special adapters, and parts that go with other things that are stored separately: Avoid mixing them. Just keep all the drives in boxes with only drives. Use a label maker to label them and a textfile or spreadsheet or note in your password manager to describe more if needed.

Anything weird: verbosely write what it is for or goes with in sharpie on an appropriately sized Ziploc and stick it in, then store the Ziplocs in boxes.

Get lots of these boxes and many sizes of bags so you everything stays loose and easy to search. Perfect is the enemy of good, I don't think it's worth spending a lot of time doing this otherwise I might as well just throw it all away and re-buy stuff as needed.

I bought a horse because I was dating a farrier (horse manicurist) . We got married, bought a house, got chickens, then I stumbled into software development accidentally. I've been stumbling forwards in both software and farming ever since.

Edit

I think anyone can pull it off with enough capital, patience, some help, and determination. Costs can be low. I have over $100 acres, that was about $2000/acre and that includes the house that was on the land. It's about $250 for every 1000 feet of electric fencing I run. A beef cow costs $500 my dairy cows are significantly more ($2000-4000) but they produce $8/gallon and give 6-8 gallons a day, so they pay themselves off quickly.

Hardest part is learning because you are gonna fail and failure involves lives. One of my cows gave birth during this cold snap over Christmas. Her teats are frostbitten and will probably all fall off, and all because I am too inexperienced and got her due date wrong by a month.

This is a very small library, ranging from 1.68KB min+br for Svelte to 1.94KB for React. And its fast too.

Inspired from react-draggable, it hips nearly double the features at less than 3.7x smaller the size.

For cables I put them in tubs along with others of the same category, like "power" "digital video" "vga" "analog video" "audio" and such. For rare and fragile parts, I try to store them responsibly, in ESD packaging, and with a not in the box.

OpenAI's actual promises are "to ensure that artificial general intelligence (AGI)—by which we mean highly autonomous systems that outperform humans at most economically valuable work—benefits all of humanity."

A chatbot that's relatively accurate at interpreting and summarising stuff compared with previous generation chatbots and an image generation algorithm that's actually pretty good are a damned sight more useful than NFTs which is why I agree with others that the comparison isn't helpful, but I don't think it's realistic to characterise OpenAI and AI enthusiasts in general as under-promising
You can always sell it at the current price, but with further environmental commitments by country the price of operating or closing a plant will probably only go up.

But due to the hypothetical nature of those new environmental regulations they are probably not considered during the buyout process.

But the current trend would point towards their cost only going up, and no regulation making fossil fuel plants any cheaper to run or decomission.

Except that these deep learning models are currently useful, we've demonstrated that brute force scaling alone has the potential to improve them significantly, and there is a lot of room for architectural improvements to make them more efficient.

Every day I see one or two new thought pieces on how AI is not actually good/capable/impressive or how AI is overhyped. I have seen zero thought pieces on how AI is amazing and hyped. Meanwhile a lot of people are having fun with, or doing useful things with, StableDiffusion and ChatGPT.

The negative takes are mostly correct in all the limitations they talk about, but what they miss is how amazing these things are despite these limitations. These things are remarkably simple and limited yet they can generate realistic photos of myself in places I've never been, wearing clothes I've never worn, doing things I've never done, with a quick text sentence. Or nearly pass the bar exam.

On top of that a lot of the limitations have straightforward ways to address, many of which are already in progress. It is going to get really interesting. StableDiffusion knows nothing about the images it is produces, its just repeated denoising with image targets. It doesn't really understand anything about your text either, its just matching up tags. But both of those things can easily change. Put a big language model in front of it to better understand text. Already variants of these image models have depth information. Next up 3d object information, maybe next models of physics so it can understand how things would actually work in the scene, and so on.

going to get wild.

My thoughts on this are that oftentimes things at the extreme ends of the distribution are usually in some way, shape or form problematic. Compared to all other living creatures we know of, humans are right at the extreme tail end of the intelligence distribution, and the result is somewhat pathological when compared to other creatures. I think nothing that's north of a certain threshold required to make advanced technology can make it through the great filter without destroying itself in the process.
