Having recently come into the fold of "professional software development," I found the cultural push to abandon my mouse overwhelming. I do have a habit of using quite a few shortcuts, but perhaps only a half-dozen per tool. It seems to have a relationship with the push to do everything via CLI. I'm more than comfortable moving around a Linux system remotely, but I still prefer visual representations of git that I can interact with in my editor.

I don't see why we can't have a healthy mix of both.
Has this been fuzz tested? Fuzz testing is one of the best ways of discovering security vulnerabilities in C code, and tools like libfuzzer and asan or AFL make it easier than ever.
Direct observation means, well, observing it directly. Seeing living cells in a microscope. Growing it in a Petri dish. Genetic testing, if it turns out it has DNA or RNA like us.

Within our own solar system that generally means sample return, or sending people with a full biology lab. For an extrasolar planet? I don't think the astrobiology community is of a single mind regarding what should count as direct observation there. We're not sending people or doing sample return for thousands of years. One common opinion I've heard is that seeing an atmospheric spectrograph indicating the presence of biomarkers like oxygen and methane within the habitable zone would be a bio signature, but multi pixel imaging of the planet would be required to claim direct observation. I'm not sure this is a very strong scientific distinction, however.

I'm not an astrobiologist btw, but I used to work at astrobiology.nasa.gov. Small world!
> Perhaps real human readers can help?

Certainly, and they do, but computers can annotate much faster, without attrition, and cost much less.

Generally you'll have human recordings for what you can, and TTS for anything missing.

There are a lot of books, live streams, podcasts, articles, etc. in the world.

> There's no need to have model that can do that.

I wouldn't say there's no need, or otherwise we wouldn't talk that way. It's a human element and the generated speech is for human ears.

> A robotic accent is best.

Best is subjective because that's a human preference. That being said, I'd say your preference is a far outlier.

Most people's "best" would be what they are used to hearing; the speech of native speakers.
I thought similarly about those books. But I was proven wrong after I read Scott Kelby's Lightroom book. The added value was understanding one author's workflow and also knowing what all features exist. Of course, one might say we can just google for all the features of Lightroom - but I personally never did that and book helped me learn all the superset of features. After that, I never referred to the book - I just google about specific things, now that I know what is out there.

There was once a discussion about reading programming books and similar point was made about learning on the go. One HN'er pointed out that reading end to end helps to know what all exists. It resonated strongly with me and since then, when I start on a new topic - I make sure to read at least one book end to end.
At least some human beings manage to produce new human beings that are at least approximately Pareto improvements by using a well chosen training set. There is a long term trend towards the mean though so we're not likely to see a biologically based singularity.
If you have the live and neutral on the same finger you might be ok, the current wouldn't pass through your heart.

If you're earthed/grounded through your feet though, that's a problem, likewise if it's live on one hand and neutral on the other.
Well Go's own CoC requires that Google explain the reason for the ban, and as of yet they've failed to do so.
That would fail the bona-fide gift rule if the current obligations employers require were still in place.
I don't know, you tell me. Are you saying it was non-zero?
Seems like it could be better to store the state in a database and create a unique, short ID that goes in the URL, especially if your doing server rendering (like SSR react or HTMX, or rails/Django)

> I also didn't want to store anything on the backend (at least for the free tier).

You can make the state unique in the DB by a user cookie ID and then upsert the state which will overwrite older state with the latest state. Then you only have 1 record per free user.
Remove record that haven’t been modified in 30 days and you don’t have much overhead. Just off the cuff thinking.
It's a funny reminder of humans that this random info in a notebook made the person jump to "she was into numerology and left us a puzzle" rather than "oh these are just some things she wrote down"

Remember, humans are pattern matching machines and will torture a pattern out of ANYTHING. Think horses not zebras, and it's never the compilers fault.
See “exemptions” section:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gift_tax_in_the_United_States

> Second, gifts in excess of the annual exclusion may still be tax-free up to the lifetime estate basic exclusion amount ($11.58 million for 2020).[9] For estates over that amount, however, such gifts might result in an increase in estate taxes. Taxpayers that expect to have a taxable estate may sometimes prefer to pay gift taxes as they occur, rather than saving them up as part of the estate.
Isn't this also how old school games (I've seen it as late as the NES I think) did allow you to save progress, you'd get a short string as your "save" and could just enter it to restart the game in the same state later. I love that it offers essentially unlimited "saves"
Life lesson: people that won't pay you back big amounts also won't pay back the 100-500$ level. So test people with those first.

The consensus around what a staff engineer is is mostly captured here: https://staffeng.com/guides/

There's minor disagreements, but it's a good start. Ignore the book unless you feel compelled. It's a nice site to use to make sure we're all using the same terminology.

Re: the flat look, I, too, suspect it comes from log footage, although I’m not sure it has to do with not knowing. It could also just be that if you do your dailies and editing without a LUT, as seemed to be common at one point, you get used to the way it looks and are less likely to go for a very contrasty look in grading.

I think it's just bringing attention to the sunspot and its effects, more info from spaceweather.com:

"NOAA forecasters have boosted the odds of an X-flare today to 30%. Earth-facing sunspot AR3182 has developed an unstable 'beta-gamma-delta' magnetic field that poses a threat for strong explosions. Shortwave radio blackouts and Earth-directed CMEs are likely this week"

You can actually solve those captcha using Speech to text, there many tools that do that, ex:

The only difference between a Turing machine and a finite state machine is that the Turing machine has a writeable tape with a movable head.

There is not much to it.

I think the deciding factor is that you can compose individual operations into new operations and use any previous result as input into the next computation.

That’s way too cumbersome for a user, I wouldn’t use it. I simply want an app that I can trust. If I use it to send a picture, obviously it should have access to the camera. But it shouldn’t be able to send that image to a destination unrelated to my use case.
Then your online banking is using the same fake score as Credit Karma (usually called VantageScore or something like that)

It seems you have been lucky enough to be living a sheltered life, without any acquaintance having tried to chat you up to their advantage.

Unfortunately there are plenty of people in the real world who are either takers or outright set to exploit you. Not many, but enough to have people learn the wisdom of saying "no" to sob stories.

I once came across a guy who apparently lived close to me who was asking for money for a taxi ride because he was out of gas and had to go to the hospital to check up on his kid who had an emergency and blablabla. I gave the guy 10€ and wished him well. Fast forward a couple of weeks and I stumble upon the same guy right on the same spot. He clearly didn't recognize me as he asked me again for money for a taxi ride because he ran out of gas and his kid was just admitted to the hospital and blablabla. I asked him if he didn't asked for that same request a few weeks ago, to which he just stood there looking at me without saying a word, and after a couple of seconds he turned back and proceeded to walk away and never be seen again.

In the pre mass online shopping days I also had a close friend who just moved to another city. Our friend group had thrown him a big farewell party and everyone promised to keep in touch and visit all the time and all those things. After a few days that friend reached out to us saying he now lived right next to a consumer electronics megashop, and if any of us wanted anything shipped then we could simply send him the cash and he would buy the stuff we needed. A couple of guys from the friend group took him on his offer and sent him cash transfers, and that friend proceeded to ghost everyone.

Sadly I have other personal anecdotes, some of which real sob stories.

It really depends on what you mean by helping people with a small amount. Those who profit from your actions do benefit from the money they get from you even if it's under false pretenses. Robbers who steal stuff from people around them are also helped by getting their hands on il gotten gains.
You’re not. You’re getting access validation for the cost of a test.
I think all of this sounds fine in theory, but the reality is that most logged information will not be needed - ever. Exactly what information is needed when can be difficult to predict. So, if a developer feels something might be important, they should probably log it. Within reason, I think it is better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.

It seems the author is putting a heavy emphasis on trying to create readable logs. Finding the signal in the noise. I am biased, but I think this is a failure of the tools used to read the logs rather than the logs themselves. This is why I wrote LogViewPlus (https://www.logviewplus.com/).
I'd love to know more. Historically, what kind of attacks do you see? What is their goal or what do they get out of attacking HN?
It is possible to give gifts to friends and not expect to be repaid. Life is not zero sum.

But knowing yourself enough to know you can trust yourself to do this is not easy.
I don't have any resources to share but in my country the bank looks at my income - expenses then checks if I've defaulted on any debts. My limited understanding of the US system is that everyone has (often several) credit cards to build the necessary credit score. Here owning a credit card is for people drowning in debt who struggle to pay bills on time or in rare cases new money flexing their amex black, which is also shunned upon.

I've always thought the US system was super weird and backwards forcing debt on people. We don't have credit cards from every big chain and don't get harassed into signing up for cards in the mall, it's just not a thing.

We have the same safeguards you have, but we prove it with sensible spending instead of getting debt just to prove that we can pay it in time.

Data pipelines are not workflows
Trying to represent and schedule pipelines of data assets as workflows is painful, because workflows are an awkward metaphor for data pipelines. A single data source can power dozens of data products, each with different data freshness requirements. A single data product can consume data from dozens of different sources, each of which is updated at a different cadence. Trying to chop up this graph of data assets into discrete workflows that each get executed synchronously often feels like forcing a square peg into a round hole.

Dagster 1.1 introduces a system for scheduling data pipelines that lets you escape writing workflows entirely. Instead, you directly specify how up-to-date you expect each asset to be, as well as how to determine whether source data has changed. Dagster then automatically schedules asset materializations to ensure that data arrives on time, while avoiding unnecessary computation.
There is basically no chance the captchas are actually being used for generating training data at this point. The puzzles have not changed for ages. Like, five years? How many billions (trillions?) of labels do you think they have for buses and traffic lights at this point?

If there was an economic value to using captcha solutions for labeling, somebody would be rotating novel tasks into the mix. But they don't seem to be.

(And if the goal of running the service was to generate labels, they would not have built solutions to make it possible to pass the captchas without a puzzle, like recaptcha v3.)

So rest assured, your work in solving the captchas is totally b useless, just like you wanted!

Did anyone else get irritated by the new "usages" code vision labels that were recently introduced? They take a huge amount of real estate, and since I am not running any popularity contests for my variables I had no idea what they were supposed to do (unused variables were highlighted previously anyway). This was really disturbing for me and I considered canceling my subscription to stick with the current version and avoid such "surprises" in future.

I now completely disabled Code Vision and hope to never see it again.
Using credit cards and paying them off is keeping ytour score up.

If you have no debt and pay cash as you go for your expenses, you will eventually drop because the credit bureaus will have no recent data to compute a score.

The previous post about ':x' was posted by the author of the article in the OP. I suspect the author of the article using multiple HN accounts to shill this.
Having been in the 1980s a person who has taken calls like that at a library, I think you are vastly underestimating the difficulty of finding things without search engines. E.g., my dad had subscribed to the Grand Rapids Press for something like 40 years when he died. That's 14600 individual issues that would need to be searched, not counting the many magazines he subscribed to at different times. Indexes would give you article topics, but would not do much to help find articles that might have long strings of random numbers. So what we're talking about is paging through thousands to hundreds of thousands of pages of paper and/or microfiche looking to see if those random numbers appear somewhere.
I'd like to see the FTC work to stop dynamic pricing that has no defensible reason. I get charging more for a bottle of water at a concert or other sort of high demand/premium markets.

But using an algorithm to increase the price of a flight due to my OS, previous clicks, zipcode, previous CC history (eg do I donate?) etc should be illegal.

Things like YieldStar https://futurism.com/rental-prices-algorithm-yieldstar also are pretty concerning because they create a form of market collusion that should be illegal.

Yeah, I couldn't loan that much. I'd gift a friend at most $ 2K and the expectation that I won't see it will ease my mind more than the expectation that they'd pay back $7K.
Virtually nobody uses PGP, and it is not at all pivotal. It is one of the least important widely-known cryptosystems on the Internet; like the book "Applied Cryptography", it has a cheering section because of the era in which it was released, and a generation of lay-engineers has taken PGP as a synecdoche for all privacy cryptography.

It is also badly broken and has an archaic design.

Most notably: Filippo had nothing to do with EFail, which was one of the most important cryptographic results of the last 5 years. You don't so much need Drew Devault to tell you that; it's peer-reviewed research.
Some years back I bought a stainless steel filter from Able Brewing. It’s great. I no longer have to buy consumables or throw anything away but wet coffee grounds — which are great for the garden anyway.
You're right, its a limitation. Knotend also supports upload/download of a .knotend file to get around this.
So that's an estate tax upon death.

But given we're talking about loans and gifts while a person is living, I think the correct tax to invoke is the gift tax that has a limit of $17,000 per year.

>> You will be 10x (barely an exaggeration) more productive if you learn to use the keyboard shortcuts.

> No, you won't. If the majority of your time isn't spent thinking rather than typing or clicking, you're doing it wrong.

Interacting with a GUI introduces latency to my interactions. If I think of something I can do with the keyboard, I can do it without disturbing my flow; if I have to e.g. start hunting through menus it is more likely to disturb my thought process and leave me at "what was I doing again?" I'm sure not everybody is this way, but I certainly am.

[edit]

A good, discoverable interface (mouse or otherwise) is important for casual users, new users, and infrequently used actions. At least some people (myself included) get a significant performance boost from being able to do things immediately from the keyboard though.
So why should something so explicitly... tampering... as, say, REFLASHING an ECM for a diesel engine, NOT exempt the manufacturer from third-party stupidity? This is what I can't wrap my head around. Where's the limit of legal liability? IS there no limit? Are the people milling about my company, excusing every added layer of bureaucracy due to being liable if a customer chips their Dodge Ram, melting the exhaust system onto their garage floor, and burning down their house actually CORRECT?! THIS is the law that is causing us to augment our entire development chain with the ability to sign and encrypt our binaries to prevent this malfeasance?

Yet toilets, sinks and cookers still operate almost exactly the same.

Hell, even the dial pad on your phone screen or the QWERTY keyboard are there for historic reasons more than anything else.

It might sound snarky, but it does make you wonder if people think changing their UI is ok because they're much less used, or alternatively if they think the developer is more important than things like sinks, phones, cookers and keyboards..
