> I'm curious: Is "health tourism" a thing for Americans? Healthcare is extremely cheap where I live by comparison.

Depends on what kind of healthcare is required. I'm from a country with "extremely cheap" healthcare (Ukraine), but if you are diagnosed with something nasty you either shell out hundreds of thousands to go to a place with expensive healthcare to get that CAR T-cell therapy or you die.

Yes, people don't realize how expensive transatlantic travel was even as recently as the steam age (1850). A steerage (lowest class ticket) was £3.50 while avg. annual wages were something like £17.

It's crazy to think that going to Mars will soon be about the same relative cost as a trip across the Atlantic.

Mbook -> OWC TB4 hub -> BenQ 3220U -> TB to DP => Dell 2718Q

OWC hub is optional, scheme works without it the same. I use the hub to connect also external 10G network and a card reader.

NB: not an advice to buy BenQ PD3220U, see this: https://www.reddit.com/r/BenQ/comments/qsmvn2/pd3220u_kvm_bu...
No solution so far. BenQ thinks it's the Apple bug, Apple probably thinks something, but doesn't tell.

You'd think the experience of ChatGPT would have taught them that the average person isn't blindly worshipping the output of LLMs, and has the requisite critical thinking skills to keep the useful bits and discard the rest. Instead we get this belittling rebuttal highlighting the immense danger of letting the public use a service that may, occasionally, be wrong, as though humans don't encounter and discriminate incorrect information throughout every day of their lives (not least on google's own existing services). Instead of pontificating about "earning the public trust", maybe stop positioning yourself as the unassailable source of truth and give people tools that will materially improve their lives today, if you really want to follow through on your mission.
Smoking was popularly seen as quite fun as well. Less so now. It's role in culture shifted.

I think Elons greatest accomplishment was convincing people he's Woz and not Jobs.
Were the other companies putting that the driver is only there for legal reasons at the front of the video and selling the product for thousands of dollars with promises it would work as depicted imminently?

There is a world of difference between the demos other companies were showing and this.
If a, b, and c are independent and d depends on them all, you could declare:

d: a b c

With shuffle, a, b, and c could be made in any order, but you are guaranteed d would be after all of them.

This helps to enforce that a, b, and c are actually independent. If they are not, there is a chance your build will fail. This can happen sometimes when rules get complex and there become hidden dependencies between rules. For example, maybe one target, which always happens to run first, creates a directory that other targets rely on, but those targets would not create that directory if they were run first.

That is the impetus behind this new flag. It would (maybe) expose that there is a hidden dependency on that directory, and it could be made into its own dependency for a, b, and c to depend on, so that it doesn’t matter which runs first.
Ah, the old binary tree con: https://math.temple.edu/~paulos/oldsite/scam.html

Did you do any validation before building this? Does anybody want it?

I just feel like "AI generated business advice" is so generic and I probably wouldn't pay for it. It would need to be somehow curated to my specific business.

I.e, I describe my business, and it pops out ideas. Even that I probably wouldn't pay a monthly membership for.

> The video carries a tagline saying: “The person in the driver’s seat is only there for legal reasons. He is not doing anything. The car is driving itself.”

This part is even worse.
All I see is $GOVERNMENT wants tyrannical surveillance due to $EXCUSE.
Yeah, you're technically right. Residuals refers to two things: licensing income royalties, and ongoing royalties.

Ongoing royalties, i.e., the traditional meaning of residual, refers to royalties paid on the basis of ongoing views or sales. Netflix does not do this.

Licensing income royalties are owed when a movie is licensed. They are included in the term "residual" because all film libraries, except Netflix, continue to license out their IP on an ongoing basis. Netflix does not; they shop their IP once at the beginning and then never again.

I was referring to the former, not the latter, because the GP is talking about syndication residuals. My bad for forgetting that people on HN like to miss the forest for the trees.
Same experience here. Only explanation I can think of is that people are buying the things that are obviously scams.

"Unknown" also tends to get grouped in with "unvaccinated", skewing it even more.
Theranos delivered blood test results. Tesla delivered cars.

The problem is that neither delivered those things to the particular qualities promised.
I always imagined a 24x7 docked laptop was a good setup for a couple reasons:

2. easy to grab and go in an emergency situation.

Could you tell me more about the liability it creates? Is it a fire hazard? Decaying battery performance?

If that is a concern, then perhaps you could go ahead and sample a tiny part of "reality" (whatever that means) and then adjust the weights of the digitized data so that it becomes a more representative sample.

Also, being biased or unbiased is not dichotomic, i.e. it's not all or nothing. It's something that you can work towards if you put an effort into it.

Basically what I'm saying is: don't just go around saying that the task is impossible.

At least, try to make an effort to be unbiased and to improve on that over time, and don't just say "it's impossible" as an excuse for being biased.
I seem to remember automated manufacturing was supposed to be his big thing. The other companies were bogged down with union labor and he saw an opportunity. Then the first gigafactory failed to fully automate the process and so he put all his chips on "cheap" autopilot that didn't require expensive vision hardware and could instead all run on video.

Now that isn't panning out either. I don't know if there are any other places to fundamentally disrupt in the automotive space, but if there are, that's where Tesla will focus next I suspect.
> they kept telling me "because Tesla's innovations would make the other car manufacturers obsolete".

Always thought this was a pretty odd belief, because this, generally, is not how things work. It's very unusual for a company to sustain a monopoly on _innovation_; where it happens it's usually down to the market being too small to justify the investment to catch up by others.

I need a harmonization cheat sheet. Hmmm - I should check out ChatGPT and see if it's able to harmonize. Piano and guitar would be great.
I don't really care if they put these warnings on. But that presents a problem: If a low-level drinker who is reasonably interested in his health doesn't care about the warnings, will anyone? And if no one cares, why bother?

Was there a significant drop in smoking when they added warnings?

I'm surprised more people haven't brought up NASA? I was offered 180k/yr salary in 2020 doing fullstack development. While the offer was brought through a recruiting agency, I believe it was a full time position as a NASA Employee - I was surprised by the competitive salary, maybe worth looking into for others interested in the space.

Being obese seems to have an effect of between 3-14 years depending on the study. I think emphasis should be proportionate, so maybe less emphasis on alcohol and more emphasis on the negative effects of being overweight. But still some emphasis on alcohol... proportionate.
Equally damning is the fact that the Head of Autopilot Software does not know what an Operational Design Domain is or what perception-reaction time is. These are foundational concepts for safely engineering the type of automated systems that Tesla is building.

If you get cancer from smoking, it's not the tobacco's industry's fault. If you get shot in a classroom, it's not the gun seller's fault.
Awesome, I’ve been considering installing a few myself but am not sure if that’s silly or not.

I’m mostly curious how these DIY units compare to Mitsubishi, which seems to be what all the installers recommend.
The news isn't just that Noma abused the practice of internships, it's that people have decided that interning at these high end restaurants is no longer worth it.

In the old days, a few years at the high end then a year at a Noma-esque place and investors would line up for you to recreate it in your hometown.

Nowadays that's not the case. While the remaining fine dining restaurants are busy enough, it's still not the same as before and prices aren't high enough, considering inflation.

That's why Noma is closing, Manresa closed, Faviken closed (before COVID even, but the writing was on the wall then too), a bunch of David Chang's restaurants closed, and countless other less famous spots.

Of course, people still need to eat and odds are the economics are still good enough for plenty of restaurant concepts. But you need to find efficiency and Noma was anything but efficient (30 interns SMH).

Sure. But then first you have to prove it is a parallel construction.
Software and hardware people both do this "golden path" demo stuff all the time. Was Steve Jobs lying when he showed a barely-working iPhone prototype on stage for the first time?

Imagine you read an article with damning testimony from an Apple engineer who said the prototype was crap, and only really worked for the demo. That's what this article is.
This means nothing. AI will invade any space it can. Any use case found by any company will immediately be x-copied, and the mvp mass deployed, by competitors. The idea of responsible profit maximization is absurd. This is a shitty attempt to explain the lack of progress.

In a video from 2016 in an lawsuit about a crash in 2018 in which the driver was repeatedly told by the car to pay attention.

The driver knew about how this part of the road was incorrectly recognized by the software yet didn’t pay attention.

You get sue for the life you didn’t save and get almost zero merits for the ones you did.
Yeah, that sounds like a plausible culprit. And I wouldn't consider it outside the realm of possibility for Apple to replace the SSD for free - even if the laptop is now out of warranty.
You describe mapping and cherrypicking as intertwined, but they're pretty orthogonal to each other.

You can cherrypick without mapping (Nikola rolling a truck down a hill).

> the appropriate prior is that you are doing something supremely heinous and evil

Generally speaking I can agree but more specifically cases like Julian Assange come to mind. Certainly there are at least some people who are at risk of this kind of persecution and otherwise not doing something that would so immediately be considered in such a negative light.
I agree with your interpretation, but I don't think Tesla is discovering this. I think they've known that the electric car was a mere sustaining innovation, while a true self-driving car is disruptive. That's why they've tried to sell their electric cars as self-driving cars.

Unfortunately for Tesla, you can't just hang an "automobile" sign on a faster horse and declare yourself the owner of a disruptive product.
At Battery investment day (a few years after Autonomy investor day) he said the opposite: that self driving wasn't worth much because competitors would follow in 2-4 years, and that their advantage was all about their new battery tech. The new Tesla-made batteries have come out now and are 20% worse energy density than Panasonic's.

Seems like a relevant place to put a link to this paper:

David R. Hanson, "Compact Recursive-descent Parsing of Expressions", 1985

https://drhanson.s3.amazonaws.com/storage/documents/compact....

There are languages (such as ML) that allow the definition of new operators with a choice of precedence and associativity. Using a table like the one Hanson suggests and modifying it at compile-time is an obvious way to handle that feature.
Doing something since the dawn of human history is a poor metric of whether something should be in a glorified position in our modern society.
One of the side effects of the type of society we have is it is going to eventually bend to the dedicated nut jobs that lack hobbies and interests. So that group of nutters who insist that everything have a label on it will eventually get their way as they're super organized, loud, and they only have to win once. Their opponents don't care nearly as much and have to constantly defend so they just move on to and let the nut jobs have their way.
Have you looked into Crystal? It's supposed to be a statically-typed language, with the syntax of Ruby.

I've only built two houses for myself that are large custom builds. Dont really know about kit homes. From what I hear that they dont really solve a ton of money as people always overestimate the cost of the structure and underestimate site prep and finishing which are the same whether your house is custom or pre fabricated.
I'll definitely still consider it, I think I got lost in the fact that I originally made mine similar to the original version of the dispatch table. Then I just had a byte array of memory where I wrote instructions and values directly into the memory and then executed it. Stack also lived in the memory block growing downwards like a normal stack. And yeah as you said the constant function I have reads in the value from the program_counter and increments it manually. but since all values and opcodes were only bytes it didn't feel off just reading it in the same way.
Ooh. Will MS offer an "uncensored" mode? That's been my one big gripe with ChatGPT; I just want to have some silly fun and their censors really get in the way :(
What company has as good of an autopilot? The luxury car makers don’t seem to have one.
I think you're correct, it's impossible to instruct make to order your dependencies since dependencies may be built in parallel.

I'm having trouble thinking of a case where it would be useful to do so.
The answer is that the people with their finger on the missile trigger knew the aircraft was no threat due to radar and visual interceptions and decided not to launch a dangerous missile into the middle of a huge city full of important officials since moving the President and other important officials to a basement would be sufficient to protect them from a Cessna. Instead, they waited for the plane to come down somewhere (on the lawn, it seems) and arrested the person inside.
Plus, we're not allowed to actually blow them up to test any more, so they do all that in simulation on the world's biggest supercomputers. This leads to work in HPC system software, kernels, compilers, programming languages, HPC libraries, and so on.
IMHO the majority of engineers not understanding lexing/parsing beyond generators has held back good engineering of incremental parsers/lexers for a long time.

Things like tree-sitter took forever to come along, but the research projects that built the algorithms they rely on are a quarter century old.(https://www2.eecs.berkeley.edu/Pubs/TechRpts/1997/5885.html)

Meanwhile, incremental lexing and incremental recursive descent parsing and LL are actually not that hard (incremental LR is trickier).

It's just that few people really understand how any of it works to implement it.

This is not a "it was not needed" issue. Lexing times of files for syntax highlighting is still "seconds" for larger files, for example.

Meanwhile, i can explain near-optimal incremental lexing to someone who knows how lexers work in a few bullet points, and it's trivial to implement:

1. As your lexer looks at characters, keep track of the maximum lookahead and lookbehind used during a lex.

2. When some range of the string to lex is invalidated, adjust the invalidation bounds to include the maximum lookhead/lookbehind as well.

3. Relex the invalidated portion of the string.

That's it.
For optimality, compute the maximum lookhead/lookbehind on a per-token basis, instead on a per-lex basis (this is trivial if your editor is already storing the tokens under the text somewhere)

If you store position info in your tokens, you can easily adjust as well.

For incremental recursive descent parsing, it's similar - only rules who ever looked tokens that changed could be affected by them. You can easily keep the interval of tokens that a given rule looked at.
(If you want truly optimal, you can store the set of intervals looked at, but this is almost always overkill)

If all you ever have is a generator, you will never implement any of the above until your generator does.

I have watched tons of projects spend lots of time optimizing grammars, doing weird caching, etc, when a few simple/better algorithms would have saved them from all of it.

(which is why in that sense, tree-sitter has been a revolution)
But it was never actually fun though. Maybe it was advertised that way. But there was no positive effect from it.

Drinking on the other hand DOES effect peoples mood, behaviour, confidence etc.

This is what always mystified me about smoking: at least other drugs have some effect, nicotine just gets you addicted.

Edit:

To be clear: smoking has no meaningful affect unless you're already addicted. A non smoker who tries their first cigarette is no more relaxed or confident or calm than they were before.

The same is not true for alcohol or marijuana or basically any other drug people use recreationally...
Such a concept could use an example to solidify that point.

If I have a function Foo that adds two numbers together.
How is that represented in lisp (as a list you say?)?
How would one alter that function/lisp-list: to multiply numbers instead?
Nit: 10^4 (10E3, 10E5 would conventionally be 10*10^5 or 1,000,000)
If Azure can offer up a way to train a private, custom ChatGPT model on your in-house data/tickets/docs/code that's going to be a killer app. Copilot is neat, but having something that can synthesize knowledge from across all these areas would be a game changer.
> React vs PHP is a decision you can make, because... the intention of both is to output HTML.

Often PHP is used when no HTML rendering happens at all (Apis, scheduled jobs etc.)

> I can use C within a Python project. Does that mean I can't compare the two? One is compiled while the other is interpreted, so maybe you can't compare those?

Those are at least both programming languages. Several major python libraries are written in C (or other compiled language) so a pure python project is probably fairly rare. Someone asking for "Python vs C" is probably more in need of an explanation of what the broad categories mean and tend to be used for than a point by point breakdown of specific language features and ergonomics.

In this specific instance, the complaint was that PHP, a server side language, doesn't offer client side rendering built in. This a point that should be brought up comparing JavaScript to PHP, not React.
And older versions of Fox News were far less crazy and less biased, where do I put down my demand that their products be rolled back to ~1998, or thereabouts?
