"But it is to be hoped that if ChatGPT triggers us into tackling how we can remove our willingness to give bullshit a pass — even for the wrong reason (combating the the threat of massive plagiarism) — then it may help us improve higher education."

That's a useful problem to tackle. ChatGPT is good at well-written blithering. This shines a spotlight on the fact that society, and academia, tolerates well-written blithering. A sizable percentage of what appears on op-ed pages and in "thinky" magazines of all political persuasions looks like ChatGPT output.

The humanities, as a field, now have to address that. Text on factual subjects which is not grounded to facts or a valid model is junk. That's recognized for technical writing. A "how to" article or a repair manual that tells you to do things that won't work is junk. That's not a criterion that's historically been applied in the humanities.

Now it has to be.

This isn't the end of the world. There was a time when good penmanship was a indicator of content quality. (Look up "Chancellery cursive") Then came typewriters. After that, spelling was considered a useful indicator. Then came spell check, followed by grammar checkers. Those traditional indicators are now dead. Lack of such errors merely indicates that someone has the right tools.

Good automated blithering generators may force a style of writing more like classical newspaper reporting. Who, What, When, Where, Why, under the byline of the reporter who was there. Or like Wikipedia, with "cite needed" all over. That's not a bad thing.

Now we need automated tools to criticize blithering. Ones that check sources and verify that the sources say what was quoted. Automated provenance verification. Checking for false confirmation via multiple routes from the same source.
Opinion presented as fact.

This could be healthy for political discourse. I look forward to seeing speeches marked up by automated checking systems. Perhaps in real time.
UWP died because there were better ways to make Windows apps.
I normally don't get much from presentation slides; they aren't even intended to be consumed independent of the speaker's remarks and they often amount to the bullet points of someone's outline. But in this case, the article is an extremely poor summary of this comparatively rich and substantial presentation. Thanks for sharing this link. It is much more comprehensible than the article itself.
if they are open sourced, yeah
Great work Kody! Thanks.

One thing I was hoping to see—-remove MS Word induced junk like “Smart quotes” and “smart apostrophes” and whatever else tends to blow up web text when importing or displaying.
What is it about walks that help? Would 30 burpees every hour have a similar effect? Is it heart rate? Duration?
Wow, this is fascinating. Is the code open source? I'd love to try it out.
What do you want to spend your time on other than the internet? I don't know what you've tried, but you've talked about what you don't want to do, and didn't talk about what you do want to do. And it's hard to remove a habit if you don't have something ready with which to replace it.
> Background: Meal skipping has become an increasing trend of the modern lifestyle that may lead to obesity and type 2 diabetes.

That is not what I was expecting this to be about. Now I'm thinking, how does this relate to the intermittent fasting trend?

Are people meal skipping and calling it intermittent fasting?

Or are the people who are meal skipping generally not interested in "wellness community" trends like IF?
I don't think that's quite right - after having read this, I feel pretty comfortable assuming that the author is expressing this pro drugs point of view because she really believes it and wants to write about an important part of her life.

It might be true that there's bias on the part of the publication in the fact that they select/pay for pro-drug pieces, but I don't really see how that affects me, the reader, particularly in the context of having clicked on this on HN and read it with no context about the publication.
> I am seriously addicted to the internet

'Addiction' depends on circumstances. If you're lucky enough to be able to spend copious amounts of time online, good for you. I know for me, I don't have that opportunity. There's too much other stuff hampering my ability to get online like kids, marriage, chores, other hobbies, work, etc
Yep, I completely agree with that. It can change from team to team too. Also, it can suddenly change at any time without a warning.
Not for everyone that praises Linux based devices, usually they go more along the lines of Linux == Distribution == UNIX.
I'm wholly convinced by that argument. Anyone have a counter?
please tell me this was at least partly written by ChatGPT as a joke illustrating the very kind of meaningless academic drivel that it's attempting to rail against?

Not speaking to it's truth content, but it reads like self important bullshit.

> Meal skipping has become an increasing trend of the modern lifestyle that may lead to obesity

I believe them that this is correct but does anyone know why? I thought all the "intermittent fasting" folks were losing weight?
... that is good use of stack overflow
Yeah I agree... Front end web dev isn't particularly programming. Especially not "degree in computer science" programming. Unless something has changed in academics I don't think CS degrees are touching anything front end and it's all backend languages, algorithms, math etc. Front end is more akin to technical schools and diplomas, boot camps, etc. I think this may be one cause for OPs disappointment and struggles.
Is the basic conclusion to skip dinner, and not skip breakfast?
I've written code to parse metadata out of an M4A. I'm sure Apple does a good job of it given they've done that in iTunes for 20+ years, but it's a lot less documented and straightforward than ID3v2, as imperfect and hacky as that format is. As a result, I can pretty trivially edit ID3 from a shell script, but dealing with M4A metadata still feels like a black box.

(After typing that, I realize that calling it a "black box" is a pretty good pun on MP4 box formats..)
How do you you find a good one?
Programming and web dev are challenging disciplines that take a lot of time to learn and feel competent with. Years not months. You need to seriously realign your expectations. Lower them. You will not build beautiful things after 3 months of bootcamps. You can either persevere or quit, but right now your biggest challenge is a mental one, not a technical one. Good luck.
I don't understand terminals, shells and SSH
I definitely am addicted to YouTube.

I watch it more than Netflix, Disney Plus, Amazon Prime combined. I just like documentaries.
No, that's impossible. I live in a Canadian province where the provincial healthcare situation is very, very bad.

There are no private doctors and private psychiatrists are not legally allowed to perscribe. ADHD medication is controlled so only NPs, GPs, and (I think) psychologists are permitted to write a script for it.

Basically there are no options for me except the ones I have already taken, short of moving to a different province thousands of kilometers away.
That’s a bit too “polished” for me. I like how the OP has the tools all listed on the home page instead of buried under a bunch of “glamor” that causes the tools and information to be less dense.
Note that you list two pros and ignore any of the cons. And one of the pros (low cost) is potentially transient and may depend on externalized costs.

"Natural gas stoves, which are used in about 40% of homes in the US, emit air pollutants such as nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide and fine particulate matter at levels the EPA and World Health Organization have said are unsafe and linked to respiratory illness, cardiovascular problems, cancer, and other health conditions, according to reports by groups such as the Institute for Policy Integrity and the American Chemical Society. Consumer Reports, in October, urged consumers planning to buy a new range to consider going electric after tests conducted by the group found high levels of nitrogen oxide gases from gas stoves."

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-01-09/us-safety...

So the people you're casually disparaging with cheap rhetoric like "busybodies" are mostly just people who admit cons to the discussion that you decided not to consider.

Gas stoves offer certain convenience and lower sticker costs, but that's not the end of the story.
> "If I search some review I scroll past all of the official review sites and find some random nobody who appears to be expressing their own experiences."

That strategy has been tainted for a while. Lots of seemingly legitimate comments from nobodies on social media like Reddit are actually from old accounts bought by companies, especially for product reviews (this is an explicit strategy by certain marketers). Even many enthusiastic product recommendations from YouTubers are influenced by sponsorships (oftentimes, even if they disclose that they were paid to make the sponsorship, they then say that they "genuinely" support the product even if it turns out to be defective).

The best way to evaluate a review is more based on examining the content of the review (instead of skipping to the conclusion), rather than who the person is. A person's small blog with in-depth reviews is often very reliable. YouTubers with in-depth reviews (rather than quick product recommendations) are also reliable. Certain review sites are also likely reliable (Wirecutter is okay, though sometimes their recommendations are biased towards ease-of-use rather than getting the best result from a product), but it's best to look at what the reviews actually say (as I agree that other popular review sites are influenced by undisclosed sponsorships).
From a military perspective it may be more plausible that Ukraine wins back control of Crimea than Luhansk.

Crimea could be cut off from Russia at a few chokepoints at which point Russia soldiers would retreat or run out of supplies. Eastern Ukraine, on the other hand, is connected to the one of the greatest military logistic networks in the world, the Russian rail network.

There is little point in measuring the impact of skipping lunch.

Wouldnt a corrupt country also be one that imports migrants to compete with its own people in the housing and labor markets to boost the profits of a disloyal wealthy ruling class? You have yet to refute that increasing demand for housing increases housing prices or that increasing supply of labor depresses wages. Do immigrants pay a special tax to cover the cost of building new housing for them?
> This is nothing like hello world.

Full disagree. Ripping a CD in 2023 should be as complicated as hello world.

> The post you're replying to gave several reasons

Let's go through them!

> Packages are available for just about any distro

I use windows.

> It's based on python with relatively obscure requirements

So include the modules along with the cosmopolitan python

> that also calls out to system binaries

Put that logic into the cosmopolitan binary: if Linux then do this, if Windows then do that etc

> Take a look at the build docs and you'll see just how many existing projects (python and otherwise) it takes to deliver the end result.

Do the same to these extra projects.

> most straightforward way

The lazy way? Yes.

Like if you can't be bothered to implement basic features, have a billion dependencies. If as a consequence you code is unstable, put it into a container, and orchestrate.

Here's a simple C equivalent: if you have memory leaks because you know malloc() but don't know about free(), the right solution isn't to kill and respawn when you go above some memory quota, but to learn about free().
Okay, Apple is different from your company in as many ways as possible, but you might want to pay attention for their licensing policy: Logic X has no copy protection, no registration key, no nothing. Nothing to crack. If you get a pirate version, and using it for a while, you can buy it. They even provide a free version of it, with less functionality and larger icons, called Garage Band.
Just because you want to be bottom-up doesn't mean you need to be dogmatic about it and can't have good leaders who take a stand when necessary.

The two aren't incompatible. You don't need to take away people's independence and agency to have good leaders. A good leader doesn't need to be authoritarian in order to lead. It's bad leaders who have to force people to follow them.

And just because you want to be agile and flexible doesn't mean you can't plan ahead. You need a little of both.
They are saying that a "modern lifestyle" may lead to obesity and type 2 diabetes. They are not saying that meal skipping leads to that, but rather it's a reaction to it.
n=17, so read nothing into this result.

Also, what they tested is having no fixed eating schedule. The effects (if any) of skipping breakfast every day consistently are not measured.
I know the guy. He's very a nice oddball like that.

My comment on this article.
> How do you know?

It's been known for decades, and knowing that is part of my job. I'm in Europe, where this vaccine is part of the basic plan for all children.

> For those of us who generalize from public health in the COVID years to public health in general, why is that generalization wrong, in your view?

Most public health interventions do not make money for corporations or in fact, for anybody. They mostly spare taxpayer money by increasing efficiency across the healthcare system. COVID is a very particular case where a new technology became our best guess, and made money for powerful people. So COVID can't be generalized to other interventions at all.
Mobile OSes (such as Android and iOS) heavily restrict what apps can do in the background, or even terminate them entirely when they are not in the foreground. This is to increase battery life, etc.

For many apps, notifications are important. Using Mastodon as an example - if someone mentions you on Mastodon, your app should tell you. But unless you actually have the app open, it won't be able to receive any notification from your Mastodon server due to the OS restrictions.

As a solution, the OS vendors created special services embedded into the OS that are allowed to maintain a persistent network connection to the OS vendor's cloud servers.

Then if an app developer wants their app to display a notification, they obtain an API key from the OS vendor and connect to the OS vendor's API and submit their notification to it.

The OS vendor's servers will then deliver the notification to the notification service on the device, the notification service will display it to the user or wake up the app.

Google's service (Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM)) and Apple's Push Notification Service are proprietary things.

On Android, there are free and open-source apps that don't link to Google's proprietary components, including their notification service. F-Droid is an FLOSS "app store" that will not distribute apps using Google's APIs in their repository. Some "de-Googled" Android flavours remove the component entirely from the OS.

However some developers still would like a way for their app to receive notifications without constantly polling (repeatedly making requests to check for new data) in the background. It's annoying and not very efficient (for network usage or battery).

UnifiedPush is an open API/specification that provides an alternative to the proprietary APIs. It allows you to set up a "distributor" app which will relay notifications to the other apps on your device. The distributor app generally keeps a single open connection to a server, and waits for notifications to come in.

App developers can deliver notifications to the user's chosen notification server using a standard API, and know that it can reach their device. The OS vendors are no longer in the loop.

Conversations is a messaging app, usually used for chats/calls like any other. It uses an open messaging protocol called XMPP, which has a bunch of open-source servers and clients, and can be self-hosted. Conversations already maintains a connection to the XMPP server, and XMPP already has various optimizations to minimize network activity and battery usage.

The Conversations developer has developed a way to re-use the existing XMPP connection for notifications, as well as your messaging traffic. Conversations acts as a "distributor" and will relay notifications to other apps on your device that support UnifiedPush.

Hope this helps! It can be a lot to take in :)
Also would not really work for many truck types: tankers, flatbeds, intermodal containers. And many trucks drive at night because traffic is lighter.
It's a shame that they refuse to use a versioned release of wlroots. It makes packaging this needlessly difficult (or impossible, depending on distribution policy).

Yes. Lots of other good research out there that suggests Dinner skipping > Breakfast skipping
I would need to see some pretty incredible benefits to give up dinner over breakfast, that sounds miserable. I suppose if you’re someone who gets up at 5 and sleeps at 9 or 10 every night, then skipping dinner might be easier.
How much productivity gains do you think one sees from using ChatGPT in semi-serious coding? Like, how much time do you think one can save out of, say, a six-hour coding session, on average?

I don't know if this is true of the CTO and senior tech staff but SWA's CEO had just been in there for 8 months, so I wouldn't expect anything to happen with him.

But the previous CEO looks like he was the spreadsheet type and rejected these kinds of ideas. So who is to blame?

Ask HN: Role-model companies with the best dev culture in 2023
What are the role-model software companies with amazing dev culture now?

In 2013-15 many people were looking up to how Netflix or Spotify built their dev culture and how they operated and developed their products.

What companies are setting current trends now (in 2022-23)?

EDIT:
I know that 'amazing culture' can mean different things to different people. I'm interested in examples of the companies that are setting the current trends how development should be done. Structure of teams, CI/CD, pipelines, responsibilities, tooling, day-to-day working methodology (product management probably too).

Of course this judgement is subjective - I'm fine with that.
> The second reason, and the main reason, is that it had the force of popularity, or verve, behind it by a fanatical group known colloquially as the Penquinistas.

Wholeheartedly agree with this, maybe not all your particulars, but yeah agree.
You'd also have to fit the past interactions in the context window of the LLM, otherwise it wouldn't remember them.

Fine-tuning individual agents in order to move memories from the context window to the neural network weights, even if possible, would probably get too expensive.
> You missed the "in hardware" part.

Well, I missed that.

BTW, Nokia N95 was not the first one.

In «Mobile 3D Graphics with OpenGL ES and M3G»(2007) book there is a mention of Nokia N93[0] as the first one with OpenGL ES "in hardware":

> From the left: Mobira Talkman, Nokia R72, Mobira Cityman, Nokia 3410 (the first GSM phone with a 3D graphics engine), Nokia 6630 (the first phone to support both OpenGL ES and M3G), and Nokia N93 (the first phone with hardware acceleration for both APIs)[1,2]

N.B. Nokia N95 (March 2007) is a successor of Nokia N93 (April 2006).

Great study! Amazing that so much of the fasting world aren't aware of the difference between breakfast Vs dinner skipping.
Can Time Slow Down?
I don't think what you're saying is correct, especially your last sentence (it definitely DOES work at least in terms of not being a table scan). Here's a stackoverflow answer that agrees with me and 8n4vidtmkvmk: https://stackoverflow.com/a/9537675. Do you have any sources for what you're claiming?

edit: Here a quote from Percona as well:
"In the simplest case, we want to put the most selective column first in the index, so that the number of possible matching rows is the smallest, i.e. we find the rows as quickly as possible." - https://www.percona.com/blog/2009/06/05/a-rule-of-thumb-for-...
I'm not a fan of animations myself, though I think it could be somewhat useful with a tiling WM to help maintain (for lack if a better word) your orientation. Sometimes a new window will open and move the other windows around and get resized unexpectedly, or you'll move a window and lose track for a split second. Animation would show you where everything gets put so you don't have to reorient yourself. Not a very common issue, but I could see animation helping there.
> CTO immediately fired and even the CEO having to beg the board for forgiveness and keeping their job.

I doubt that. More likely: the defect would be identified and fixed, someone would start working on a training-wheels editor for the file to ensure the problem doesn't happen again. Any change in revenues or profits would be used by the CEO to drive change in whatever thing needs changing, and the whole incident would be forgotten. Source: have owned four private companies. If everyone is fired immediately, no one learns a lesson and everyone is terrified to give leaders bad news.
At least Zba, Zbb and Zbs are in RVA22 iirc.

Only dudes would use it :P
Anecdotally only, I know I come home absolutely ready to murder a steak and a beer etc if I skip lunch. I think it's because you really need to use your mind and not your sentiment of fullness to check yourself afterwards, it just takes a while to register you are full but you are in hungry-eating mode.

I think they're talking, less about intermittent fasting as an intentional diet, and more about people who just "don't have time" to eat breakfast and skip it habitually. They say the diets were "isocaloric."
Exactly my experience as well.

IMO, Libraries like these should state their CSP compatability upfront, Any JavaScript minimalist who are likely the target developers for these libs likely has full CSP implementation on their back-end.

Telling our library isn't compatable with CSP in a footnote seems disingenuous.
