This sounds interesting! Do you have a link?
So they were cross checking the name on the card with the name on my passport, apparently they think it's a security check and some how not realizing that:

1. The name on the card is rather arbitrary.

2. Accepting names without spaces isn't really a good check IMO. If you wanted thing to line up exactly, spaces should be accounted for, but who cares? If it feels good...

This is a bit of a cultural thing I find common in Japan. It doesn't have to make logical sense, but it's a requirement and compliance is very important.

> The dollar itself is physical.

That's not true in practice. Dollar may exist in physical form but most of them or any currency exist in purely digital world. When Fed announces a trillion dollar stimulus, printing press don't go burrr. They just make some entries in computer an a trillion dollars are created.
My bad, I shouldn't have said the semantics are completely different. I suppose I meant to say the semantics are defined separately. I also should have clarified that I talked of JS arrays and not the general concept of arrays or lists.
That's a red herring, IMHO.

The issue here is that when your boss tells you not to publish company material publicly and you knowingly disobey you will likely get fired and, frankly, rightly so.
It is so interesting to me that people use this thread as an opportunity to market their Twitter/blog. I know this is common on Hackernews, but for some reason this one irked me more than the others.
Most people I work with just laugh and ignore it. Our employers are welcome to make any request they want, but unless you work in marketing it falls outside the scope of our jobs, and we can simply not do it. It doesn't even need a reply of any kind.
The difference is much starker in this generation in particular. It's 60% to 160% more power to get a 5 to 10% benefit. Intel was left behind by AMD and started competing by cranking the power up. In this generation AMD responded in kind and we are just too far off in the efficiency curve. Even the X parts are best ran in their ECO modes.
I find the re-naming of this post quite weird. The original title "A patient without cavities visits 180 dentists" was informative, and made me click. The paper is about that exact thing, and I enjoyed it.

On the other hand, I have no idea what "Health Services as Credence Goods: a Field Experiment" means. With this title, I would definitely not have clicked the link. I know it is the title of the paper, but given that HN is not an academic journal, it should be allowed to give more informative titles to posts than the original content.

Property prices are based on whatever the local market will support.

Homebuilders may argue that it’ll increase costs that’ll need to be passed on when they’re lobbying against these sorts of measures but once passed, it’s done. It wouldn’t enter into the discussion with a buyer.

>I don't mean that the brain is materially a computer in the sense we're used to computers in our day-to-day. That would be demonstrably false. Just as we can show humans are not formed from clay we can show humans are not formed of transistors.

I don't think those using the gear metaphor, or the telegraph metaphor, and so on, believed the brain actually contains gears or has a real telegraph in the day to day sense either.

The problem was the metaphor, not that they took it literaly.

The differences between the rules are not important, that's exactly why there needs to be a standard.

TTRPG rules are not tabletop game rules: they don't say what happens, GM does. TTRPG rules are a language that abstracts away trivia in a somewhat objective manner.

This is similar to having many programming languages: ideally you would want to have a single language for everything, but they all suck in different small ways.
> The rule of thumb is that we spend 10x the amount of time reading code that we do writing it. When you use cute names to avoid the pain of name changes when the service changes, you're optimizing for writing over reading. It's a mistake. You pay the cost of a name change once, but you pay the cost of an unclear name many, many times per day.

That is for name of variable. Changing a name of whole application can be royal PITA all over the stack, if the "one time change" is "scour every documentation ever produced and change the name there too so people won't get confused.

And not just docs, put the name of service as query in Grafana ? Gotta go around dashboards changing that too
Well, at the very least it seems unwise. Your core business shouldn't be put at the mercy of a competitor.

I see the new management of Wizards of the Coast as now arguing that "the OGL was never meant to fund competitors [to D&D's owners]". It seems they are echoing my sentiments!

Whether what they are attempting is lawful is besides the issue: what matters is that Paizo and whoever wouldn't be at risk had they not chosen a license designed by -- and completely controlled by -- their business competition!
The ones I've been on weren't signposted at all. You're just on a road, and suddenly the road is completely straight and very wide, and 3km later it's back to normal, and there's nothing visible nearby.

> Since the justfile is a single file, you're not cluttering up your directory.

You can do the same with any other scripting language, because with most popular languages it's quite easy to handle cli-parameters on that level.

And using a single messy file is usually not a good pattern. But on the other side, "just" comes with builtin tab completion which you would not get for any random script out-of-the-box. And if you are only using half oneliners or very short scripts, the messiness of a single file does not matter that much. Though, how well this will scale over time is a different topic.

Came here to post this as well. It's exaggerated but only slightly.
this is explicitly happening in London so it is complicated. Contractual (and statute) notice period are enforceable by both sides and, in principle, your employer can successfully sue you for the difference between your salary and the cost of hiring a temporary replacement for the notice period.
I don't do any of this stuff. I have never had an employer ask me to. If they did, I would tell them honestly that I don't want to participate in that. I would be surprised if that were a deal-breaker, since I am a lot more better at the job they hired me for than I am at marketing.
Homebrew is another project that overdoes it IMO
Power consumption depends a lot on the specific workload so picking a single number is mostly an exercise in marketing. It seems close enough in practice.
Whenever I see a product that advertises itself based on the technology it is built on I’m skeptical. Rust doesn’t make a game engine good.
presumably they meant visually minimal (not that i would agree...). It is indeed minimal compared to say, intellij IDEA, or even VSCode.

The goal of all of these terms, including things that may not be "enforceable" (I have no idea if such applies to anything in this contract) is to scare people away from even trying: there's the threat of not just of legal costs for your own goal, but the threat of having to pay your lawyers to defend against malicious conduct by the company, and even the fear of being made liable for their legal expenses. It doesn't matter how plausible any of that is, the entire goal is intimidation.

Never forget: your employer - and their HR department - are never your friend, no matter what claims they make. Including claims that HR is there to help you, that you're a "family", etc.
Sure, although trying to decipher the spec more typically makes me want to cry. (Where do they define the "sameness" of "Object values"?)
Its actually a positive as it will kill platforms that rely on having clearly human signals to be processed by a machine.

Hi HN,

Founder here, ToolJet’s story began when I launched beta version of ToolJet in June 2021 on HackerNews ([https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27421408](https://news....). It was very overwhelming to see the repository getting more than a thousand GitHub stars within less than 8 hours of launch. Since then we’ve grown into 16,000 stars and 300 contributors on GitHub. 1000s of teams are now using ToolJet to build and maintain their internal tools.

Today, we are excited to launch ToolJet 2.0.

We believe that any piece of software that has access to sensitive data of companies/people should be open-source and hosted on premises. Along with a strong focus on data privacy, we’ve also made sure that ToolJet as a platform is extremely flexible.

What is ToolJet?

ToolJet is an *open-source low-code framework* to build and deploy internal tools quickly. Those who already understands the low-code landscape, ToolJet is an open-source alternative to Microsoft Power Apps and Retool. ToolJet has integrations with data sources, such as databases (like PostgreSQL, MongoDB, MS SQL Server, SnowFlake, etc), API endpoints (with support for OAuth2 authorization), external services ( Airtable, Stripe, Slack, Google Sheets, Notion, etc) and even cloud storage services ( S3, GCS, Minio ).

What’s new?

- Redesigned every screen with a heavy focus on user experience.
- Added in-built no-code database. This feature is built on top of PostgreSQL so that the self-hosted users can take advantage of capabilities of SQL as well.
- Support for multi-page applications.
- Realtime multiplayer editing so that changes from one user will not override the changes from another user.
- Support for using Python ( along with already supported JavaScript ). You can use Python even for interacting with UI components.
- Every installation of ToolJet can now have multiple workspaces. Each workspace can have their own SSO config and users.
- ToolJet now has more than 50 data source integrations. You can also build custom connectors for ToolJet using our Plugin Development Kit ( [https://www.npmjs.com/package/@tooljet/cli](https://www.npmj... ).
- We added a bunch of new UI components. Even complicated ones like Calendar and Kanban board. You can also import your own React components and use them within ToolJet apps.
- ToolJet is now available in 8 languages including Spanish, Italian, German, French & Russian.
- More test coverage using Cypress. We now have dedicated team members for improving test coverage.

We are still very early in our journey and there is a lot more to build. Constant feedback from the open-source community is the reason why we are here, any feedback is appreciated and happy to answer any questions.

Imagine letting a stranger into your home. She/he carries a camera and perhaps a microphone. The stranger makes some promises about the content she/he might collect, but somehow those promises are unfulfilled. Who would be surprised?

These devices are called out in "The Age of Surveillance Capitalism". I can understand my mum not getting it. But Greg the software engineer? He shouldn't be surprised. Aside from software bugs, there's always the human element. Humans are far from foolproof.

For better or worse, privacy takes work. You want convenience? Then made privacy isn't your thing? Otherwise, grab a broom (to clean your floors) and stop letting (surveillance Capitalism) strangers into your life.

Yes, that sounds harsh. But The Truth can and does hurt sometimes.

That's not the point. Everyone knows that crypto is full of scams and everyone tells you that you are supposed to hold your own keys instead of leaving coins on an exchange. Almost nobody tells you that keeping coins on an exchange is good practice.
> women are being brainwashed about delivery being some crazy painful thing Asians can't handle

Well, speaking in a universal sense, delivery is super painful. If you don't get an epidural. Think "fall down while standing because the pain is overwhelming" painful.

Once you get the epidural, you can sleep during contractions.
> "I guess it's a testament to how good the engine is, that people humanize it this way."

The creators chose to humanize it. It speaks in the first person, and often in a conversational style. Of course people are going to expect it to know things that the average human would know, ie that the narrator should be Watson or that most poems rhyme.

I think the decision to give the AI a persona has both benefits and consequences. People seem to form a connection with this thing that they don't with other forms of software. It talks to them like a thinking being, and people form a sort of social connection with it. This has obviously been very good for adoption and product loyalty. I've seen many people refer to it as a friend or a buddy.

The downside is that it sets expectations high by default. It responds with the level of knowledge that a human has around 80% of the time. But the 20% where it doesn't really stand out and create a cognitive dissonance. There's a chance that this will be a case of trading short term user growth for long term disappointment with the product.
This is not true at all. If the government doesn't want you to do something with your money its only a matter of time to catch up.

So you got untouchable by the banks because you participated in a political uprising that failed? You think that crypto will save you? Think again because it's only matter of time before the government makes it illegal to accept payments from that alternative payment method or from you directly.

The only thing that works is hard cash. The electronic stuff don't work because they by design work by bookkeeping(remember the ledger on the blockchain) and when there is a bookkeeping there are ways to trace and prevent. Oh you will use a coin tumbler? Money that went through it automatically becomes unusable. You will use somethingprivacy oriented like Monero? If the origin is untraceable its illegal.

Laundering money is getting harder every day. It doesn't matter if you agree or disagree with the motives, if you live in a society that agreed on how the society should work and they decided that certain activities are legal and certain taxes must be paid you will squeezed out. The wealthy are still finding ways but the wealthy are not unbanked, they set up shell corporations, move cash with private jets etc. Crypto was another opportunity but once it become large enough it got noticed.

I see, so users of a tool should have no say in its utility, usefulness or "hype", only the people building the tools? Call me a browser scener then, I'm also a VSCode scener and sometimes a MS Word scener.

Why not take this to its logical conclusion and name modules, functions and variables cute names too. You need to understand the program and the code could be lying to you with its naming so why bother to name them at all. Start with Pokémon characters, atomic elements, geographical features etc. The possibilities are endless! This naming strategy can also save time when refactoring because you can change the meaning of a variable (for example) without having to rename it everywhere!
Were you working off proper data warehouses, or just the transactional db?

I ask because something a lot of people miss here is how much performance you can get from the T part of ETL. Denormalizing everything into big simple inflated tables makes things orders of magnitude faster. It matters quite a bit what your comparison is against.
In the case of Kodak (my father used by an engineer there and his neighbor at time Kodak also in charge of digital cameras and was warning about digital cameras in the 1970s) and other incumbents like this ,for the current Csuite there is NO incentive to cannabilize the product and take risks and lose revenues (think film, processing, etc) to prepare for the future.

> Re: TFA's complaints of blandness, and the several comments here about the narrator not being Watson, I'm always confused by how people expect ChatGPT to follow constraints it wasn't given.

If you give it the constraints of not being bland or being exciting it writes something which is just as bland, and to all intents and purposes the same story (It can follow an instruction regarding narrator, doing Holmes just fine, quite well with Queen Victoria and predictably badly with Adrian Mole and Donald Trump). Hell it'll only slightly vary the story by pasting in words like "shadowy cabal" and "conspiracy" if you ask it to write in the style of Pynchon, though tbf it does a pretty elaborate (and funny) rewrite in the style of the Bible.

Hidden abilities to coax more usable output out of a system by tweaking prompts to explicitly state things that should have been explicit (or do weird unintuitive stuff like tagging image generation prompts with UnrealEngine to get better contrast) is an issue with natural language interfaces, but that doesn't mean ChatGPT has an Excel like ability to find an acceptable answer and it's just the pesky humans getting in the way by not giving it good enough prompts.

On the contrary, the more you vary your prompt and keep getting back variations on the same theme, the more you think "wow, this model is really low temperature and there's a lot less here than the initial appearance of being half decent at storytelling suggested".

> Do you complain that any Google search returns lot of bullshit as well?

No, I don't. Google Search has absolutely NOTHING in common with ChatGPT. The comparison arises often here and elsewhere, and it's absurd. I will keep repeating that as many times as necessary. I guess this is my plight now.

Google Search produces no content at all. Zero. It returns page urls, and snippets of text extracted from those pages. It's always possible to verify where the information comes from, on which page.

ChatGPT speaks in its own name and says "I", and asserts that it's right, even when it obviously has no clue what "right" even means.

I don't reject AI; but ChatGPT isn't "intelligent". Yes, it's a tool. It's a hammer that randomly hits your thumb hard, and then claims it absolutely, positively was a nail.
Probably should add that it's faster with PyPy as it might not be obvious on how an interpreted language like Python can beat an AOT compiled language like Go.

Interesting results nevertheless.
I second the comment about trying them, but then again, it’s very different using a chair in a showroom than 8 hours a day. My Steelcase chair is for sure the best office investment I’ve made!

With a good chair you are looking for something that can accommodate to you. Remember that your body is the real expensive stuff in your office!

I think it's excused if machine fulfills more than one function at once or needs some distinctor among many that fulfil similar function.

If it is a LDAP server in DC1 it should just be "dc1-ldap" or "dc-ldap1" if you have few in redundancy (with actual service being either under "ldap" or "dc-ldap").

But if it is a kitchen sink server running a bunch of services, eh, mjollnir will do, and if you do "ssh ldap" you will ssh to server that hosts LDAP service, regardless of what cute name it will have
But your bank analogy is still flawed, isn't it? This isn't a case of a bank following suit and copying another bank's offering, this is a case of a company using terms of another company and riding on their "infrastructure" (IP, licenses, etc). For a RPG company, these intangibles are infrastructure, not legalese. Remember, this runs on human brains, not on computers or ATMs.

> No, not at all? How is it "under their control"? They can publish a new version of it but that has nothing to do with you unless you want it to.

It is under their control because they are the only ones that can modify, add or remove provisions to the license. This is like a file format where only one company can determine the standard: it sucks for everyone else! At best you're playing catch-up, at worst the owner can bar you from using the format. A consortium would be less risky.

And apparently the current situation shows it was very risky indeed!
