In cases like these, details and context are important, and unfortunately they are very scant here.

Specifically, one may draw a distinction between someone reading Mein Kampf and posting a selfie on social media with the book (it's not clear whether a selfie was involved but social media posting was). There's no issue with reading mein kampf, but if it's being used as a prop on social media for the purpose of Jew-baiting, I can see how someone would take issue with this and/or consider it an offence against a school conduct guide.

To take another example, I don't think there's any issue with someone learning or teaching how to tie a knot used to make a noose. But if someone throws a noose over a tree, poses in front of it & posts the picture to social media, that's a very different action. In the latter case, it would be dishonest to say they were censured "for tying knots," they would be censured for race baiting and making implied threats.

Yep. If no rules or laws were broken, you have no obligation to participate in their circus.
Imitating someone is not experimenting on them.
Three major reasons.

React, Typescript, and isomorphic/universal JS.

The reasons for React's dominance is a separate topic, but if you're working with react, node becomes a natural fit for the backed because you can render the same components on the server or the client.

Again, the reason for TypeScript's success is a separate topic, but node is the go-to backed if you intend to build with typescript. All things being equal in the interpreted scripting language world, typescript's type system sets it far ahead of php/python/ruby.

Being able to build with one language for both front-end and back-end is a nice perk, but being able to reuse business logic in both environments is massive. e.g. sharing object structure types and interfaces between environments ensures API ingress and egress remain consistent, the same code used to validate form inputs on the front-end can also be leveraged to produce API validations on the backend and many other use-cases.

One runner-up reason: npm. Yes, npm has had a reputational hit due to some excesses of the ecosystem in years passed, but at the time when node was picking up steam, the php composer experience was terrible, whereas npm set the standard for stupid easy package management... yes, it came at the cost of a 2gb node_modules dir but this is (mostly) a developer vanity problem rather than an actual problem (unlike resolving composer dependency quagmires)

> But another reason I don't use Node is simply because JS sucks, even when compared to PHP < 7. It's a poorly designed language that requires multiple layers of tooling just to make it acceptable for use in larger projects

Any specifics? The reality is that PHP and JS are both wart-filled messes, I certainly don't see any substantive justification for the idea that node is worse than PHP.
This is excellent advice. The "worse is better" manifesto says similarly:

> The lesson to be learned from this is that it is often undesirable to go for the right thing first. It is better to get half of the right thing available so that it spreads.

The advantages of writing everything in the one language is massive.
The penalty according to Stanford Daily would be "reckoning". This is all very silly.
The similarity is that Alec Baldwin is neither a gun expert nor a car expert. He's an actor. When actors deal with dangerous props -- and all kinds of props can be dangerous in unexpected ways -- there are (supposed to be) professionals on hand who (are supposed to) make sure the props are used safely.

If there's reason to believe that (a) Baldwin had been trained to determine whether the gun was loaded with live ammunition and (b) that was his responsibility on set, then he's definitely at fault. I'd be curious to read any claims to that effect. What I've read is that the person who was qualified to and responsible for determining if the gun was loaded with live ammo said the gun was not loaded with live ammo.
Common Asyncio Errors in Python (and how to avoid them)
> But precisely because those technical restrictions have now been lifted and so much more is now possible and expected, such a thing these days is absurd, and it instead takes teams of hundreds years of work and tens or even hundreds of millions of dollars to put together a modern AAA game

The problem today is that everything is possible yet the quality of SW has gone down.
We have UIs (GUIs are deprecated) using GB of RAM without help (how could they have a help menu with so little memory), where you have to guess what an UI element does, when you have to click on the only one text field on the screen to write something. It is like Will Smith came and erased the memory of everything that was done before.
Using Win 95 was an exercise in pain because programs crashed. Using win 10 is an exercise in pain because it is user hostile. Yes i need to resize a window and yes i need a titlebar and a big enough scrollbar.
I appreciate the feedback! I'm mostly using heuristics now to make determinations as my experiments found machine learning/AI to be too artificial and not very intelligent. Perhaps I just need more data to work with!
Paycheck to paycheck is an idiom that means you're spending all of your earnings on basic day to day expenses (whether necessary or discretionary). No or negligible retirement contributions, emergency fund, or savings. It aligns with short term thinking. Such people are often one major event (medical expense, car problem, job loss) away from disaster.
Prime delivery day is awesome, especially sharing the same house with someone that orders excessively. We tend to order things throughout the week, then have to deal with a mountain of shipping waste. Prime delivery day condenses the orders as best possible. It's not like I need every single item within 24 hours...
Migrating from Flask to FastAPI, Part 1 – Forethought AI Engineering
Ask HN: How many store private information on online PKMS/notes service?
Such as Notion, Roam, OneNote, etc? Basically any of the services that don't offer any type of end-to-end encryption.

Among those that DO, how comfortable do you feel about knowing that they could theoretically read your notes?

Why is this accepted as a normal course of events?

I'm curious to know your thoughts, because - on one hand, I worry I might be overreacting. On the other, maybe it's valid and people in general don't put anything THAT personal or private on those services.

What do you define as private and not private information?

Do you not worry about leaking more sensitive information online?
Seconded. Part of it is projecting confidence and communication skills. I knew in the back of my mind this was true, but it took me well over a decade (arguably two) to actually learn. Part of it is how you talk to people, part of it is how well you can pick up on body language, hints, subtle social contexts.

This is very very very important to women. It's a big red flag when a guy is as they might put it, "clueless." Meanwhile it's a frustrating experience not understanding what's going on for the guy.

Dating aside, an empathetic listener who reads body language will usually be someone more engaging and engaged to interact with.
The Stanford Review article claims that the photo of the student reading that particular book may have been staged, as a "joke". If so, it does not seem surprising that such a stunt may potentially fall foul of Stanford's policies about protecting minority groups from harm or intimidation. There might not be an actual "book burning" concern of any sort here.
For comparison, the Chelyabinsk meteor was about 20m in diameter. The Tunguska event was 50-60m.
In the court itself there would definitely be no way to trust them right now, but I could see AI being a useful research tool for cases. It could find patterns and suggest cases for someone that is qualified to look further into. No idea how hard it is for lawyers to find relevant cases now, but seems like it could be a tough problem.
Right, so it's a bit like the rich kid bitching about his parents and how financially independent he is when he's had one job.
Interesting! Zig release perf is respectable, but slower than Python for debug clearly leaves some room for improvement.

Someone will have to take the initial risk. ChatGPT like AI may not be "the thing" but for some in this forum to be afraid of AI defense attorney is completely missing the forest through the trees.
If the book was written about a particular case, that seems like specific legal advice.

If the book was a generalized "choose your own adventure" where you compose a sensible legal argument from selecting a particular template and filling it in with relevant data - use of the book essentially lets the user find the pre-existing legal advice that is relevant to their situation.

Chatbots as a system are arguably a lot more like the latter than the former - its a tool that someone can use to 'legal advise' themselves.

Coming from a country with very low trust both ways I was surprised that the swiss car mechanic (big chain from vw) didn't allow me to pay at the shop and didn't even tell me how much it will be because he'll calculate it later.

Also the fact that most online businesses allow late payment via invoice shipped with the goods feels crazy.
If the input argument were true then what about apps like Adobe Lightroom.

EVs aren’t selling in the US. No one wants them. They are prohibitively expensive for most and have terrible resell value because once the batteries die the car itself is essentially junk.
Payment via digital gift cards sold on Amazon, e.g. Mullvad

Granted, this would probably be a very miniscule amount of their users.
Unlike an LLM, the brain gets better at things the more it does them, and worse the less it does them. Whatever skills we replace with NLP, we should expect to atrophy in our brains. In the case of writing, we may at first assume that those skills are simply constructing a sentence at a syntactic level, or coming up with the right words. In other words, that writing is essentially a rote, mundane task, like spell checking or long division. But we may find in practice that there are underlying analytical, creative, or reasoning skills which writing requires, and that we practice through writing, and not the behavior we replace writing with.
Oh wow, I didn’t know lisper worked at JPL. Neat!
Not to mention, VC valuations have all sorts of hidden stipulations such as liquidity preferences which skew headline private valuation numbers unnecessarily high. Public markets have a full view of the cap table and can better evaluate price w/o hidden tricks.
Yea, typically I just do the step manually to start dependencies and then start the rails processes.
Nuts go bad really quickly but I think this is partly a supply chain issue, I think they try to sell the oldest nuts they have on hand first. I have noticed this in particular with US domestic pecans and walnuts - I've had bags of rancid nuts fresh from the store on several occasions, within the sell by date.
I use FROM scratch. The app itself is built with a binary packer that is copied in.

Still, I'd much rather use Nix/Guix over Dockerfile.
That makes sense actually. Given the issue is not that the student read the book (as noted, it's required reading in certain classes).

The complaint appears to be, a student was photographed reading the book, and the nature of the photograph caused a group of people to feel adversely targeted by it. The article omits the photograph, or even any real description of it, so we can't exactly judge for ourselves.

The PIH rules seems to be for addressing, "I'm not touching you"-style harassment. So without seeing the photograph, or hearing the complaints against it, I feel like the article is very one-sided.

Also, Foundation for Individual Rights in Education claims to be non-partisan, but apparently sponsors conservative action groups on college and high school campuses. Including one run by Charlie Kirk.
Sure. I don't begrudge the cost of the devices. In this case I'm calling out the missed opportunity of having built most of such a device already and not following through to expand its appeal to more potential customers by offering a particular accessory.

Also the opposing viewpoint to remind yourself of is that hey, SOMEBODY was the first to make one of these things and started a company to do it! I've given up on ideas before starting because of the manufacturing technology required, only to see a company like GoPro come out of nowhere and own a market segment.
If the cocktail influencer started making videos with the intent of getting paid then their judgement is already clouded. Even if they decided they wanted to do the morally correct thing and give honest reviews, their livelihood now depends on this income and as such they are biased subconsciously. Ultimately they are self-employed advertisers. We need less advertising in this world, IMO.
I’m very fluent in JavaScript (I’ve been a js dev for 10 years) and don’t have that much experience with Laravel yet. I totally agree with what you say.

Even. It being fluent with pho and the ecosystem I find it incredibly more easy to learn and more productive. A lot less foot guns.
But isn't this about someone posting an image to Snapchat?

What does that matter? Why is a university trying to police how crass somebody is on social media? They didn't threaten or harass someone; they didn't call for genocide. They dared to...publicly make light of a historical atrocity? This is trending dangerously into "insufficient piety".
Rails if I want a database, Sinatra if I don't.

Ruby just... wants you to be happy while you're using it. And in the long run of life, that matters.

Python wants to be correct, Java wants you to not make mistakes, JS is still figuring itself out, Scala wants to do hard things...

Ruby wants you to be happy.

IMO - There's a lot of very worthwhile follow-on effects of that - everything from libraries (generally) being just that much easier to get going with, to lower-stress teams having better communication, to debates instead of fights (I'm looking at you, PEP572). Ruby is nice so we are nice :)

> Now the question is this. If an AI is doing something illegal like practicing law, how does one sanction an AI?

As far as I'm aware, no LLM has reached sentience and started taking on projects of its own volition. So it's easy - you sanction whoever ran the software for an illegal purpose or whoever marketed and sold the software for an illegal purpose.
My point was not about necessary ambiguity where precision is not attainable. It was about todays inability of the legal professions to write concise conditions within contracts or laws.

E.g. as someone else said in this threat, there is useful ambiguity in requirements like: „within reasonable time“. But if you are enumerating a bunch of things and their relationships, ambiguity is often not what you want, but what you get without some clear syntax.

In my experience it’s not uncommon to stumble upon legal texts like „a, b and c or d then …“. But what does that mean? Is this supposed to be „(a && b && c) || d“ or „(a && b) && (c || d)“? That’s stuff that could easily be clarified at times of writing by just using parenthesis. Or maybe using actual lists with one item per line instead of stupid csv embedded in your sentences.

Pivotuner[0]: automatic real-time pure intonation and microtonal modulation

This is an audio plugin which I've been working on over the past couple years, I've gotten input from some pretty high-profile artists like Jacob Collier! Finally released it publicly late last year.

Pivotuner is a plugin which tunes MIDI data in pure intonation in real time. Besides enabling beautiful purely-tuned chords on keyboards, this also enables many other cool things such as microtonal modulation, and unusual chord sonorities! (more info on the website, this is copy-pasted)

Besides the demos on the website, there's some stuff on YouTube[1].

I'm good to answer any questions!

If academia is overwhelmingly biased in one direction, and a free speech org is documenting cases of suppression.. then of course most of the cases they document will exhibit that bias.

It doesn't necessarily follow that they're playing for a team or using "free speech" in a bad faith manner. Academia created the discrepancy, FIRE is just documenting it.
Awesome! Will buy it!
