Haskell is one of the few languages that can compile slower than rust. But they have a REPL GHCI that can be used to fairly quickly reload code changes.

I wish there were some efforts at dramatically different approaches like this because there’s all this work going into compilation but it’s unlikely to make the development cycle twice as fast in most cases.

Cool, makes a lot of sense because people using a given “room” are often likely to be geographically collocated.
This is great. I'm going to use this with something I'm working on. The edge behavior is just what I need.

When you say limitations are a "relatively small number of clients need to share some state over a relatively short period of time," I read in another comment about a dozen or so clients, but what about the time factor? Can it be on the order of hours?

> Well, you can tie that into a lot of questions, like, ‘Is human population a good thing?’ ‘Is immigration a good thing, where we seem to have been able to take advantage of new sources of humanity that are willing to engage in economic activities and be directed by the markets?’

> The world is a hugely better place with our 8 billion people than it was when there were 50 million people kind of like living in caves and whatever. So, I am confident that the sum total of value and progress in humanity will accelerate extraordinarily with welcoming artificial beings into our community of working on things. I think there will be enormous value created from all that.

The problem with Carmack and many like him, is that they think of themselves as purely rational beings operating within scientific frameworks and based purely on scientific results, but whenever they step outside the technical fields in which they work, they are ignorant and dogmatic.

He seems to ignore a lot about what the living conditions for people were throughout history, and have a blind trust in the positive power of 'human progress'.

These people don't stop for a second to question the 'why', just the 'how'. They just assume 'because it will be better' and build their mountains of reasons on top of that, which just crumble and fall down as soon as that basic belief does not hold.

I have a LOT of respect for him, and I'm sure he's a very decent, honest human being. But he's unfortunately another believer of the techno-utopianist faith which only asks for more 'blind progress' without questioning whether that is a good thing or not.
I've always heard this is intentional with scammers. Their goal is to get you to call the number, so they have a cost if the user responds. Having some errors filters out the less gullible, who won't fall for the scam and will just cost the call center money.

The unceremonious death of XHTML set us back a ways. For all the cool features HTML5 brought, we lost the guarantee of uniform parsing.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s a lot better than it was. The browser manufacturers all sat down and agreed what to do in cases of different types of document malformations. It’s better than HTML4 certainly.

XHTML5 was promoted along side HTML5, but never took off. The dream of a pure XML document that is either syntactically correct or does not render in my book still has a ton of value and still haunts me.
And a reactionary, far-right lobby inside the judicial branch is the best example you could come up with?

Let’s not forget that the current SCOTUS has six Federalist Society current or former members, of which at least one, Thomas, has already noted that they should overturn rulings like those concerning access to contraceptives, marriage equality, or anti-sodomy laws.

Regardless, I would be willing to say that the issue with AI being “anti conservative”, if that is a thing at all, is the fact that modern republicanism has been reactionary against every single social advancement since pretty much the 70s, and has not moved forward much ever since.
You’re overstating the case somewhat but there’s definitely merit to that point. I think it’s a trap though to assume there can only be one aggressor in the situation: China isn’t a global military power but it has been quite aggressive around its borders and the current actions against the Uighurs, Tibetans, etc. are on a scale reminiscent of 19th century American campaigns against the native inhabitants. If you live around the South China Sea you’re quite understandably going to be worried to an extent that someone in Africa is not.

This is the key. There is excellent content on YouTube, but we don't let them watch by themselves and have explained the risks of algorithms to the older two children.

What does this mean, and why can't the author write one coherent paragraph for the abstract?

Why do so many academics think they have to dress up their work in language they don't know how to use?
Thing is, if you've really not been paying attention, having someone repeat the last sentence or question is not sufficient. For example you might end up making a point that had just been discussed, and end up looking clueless. What you really need is to grok the last five or ten minutes of conversation, and ChatGPT is great at that

> You're comparing Australia to Nigeria?

Yes, because Australia has been developing a resource heavy economy with dysfunctional politics to match while Nigeria's has been completely resource dominated for a long time and been a basket case for most of its history because of it.

>Hell, I almost included Russia(!!) in my comment because even they have quite functional and non-corrupt government

A country more resource dominated than Australia and less resource dominated than Nigeria is more politically dysfunctional than Australia and less dysfunctional than Nigeria? Shocking (!!).

It's weird that I even have to utter this sentence but... Russia is not non-corrupt, by the way.
> It's funny that all of these weird fantasies people have about AI are about replacing the rank and file workers.

When I read about chatGPT passing MBA exams but failing at arithmetic I get a little frisson of excitement. A regular person who has any marketability tends to swap jobs when management becomes a PITA or gets stuck in nincompoopery. Wouldn’t it be great if you could just swap out management instead?

Imagine how easy it would be iterate startups. No need to find a reliable management team, just use Reliably Automated Management As A Service ( RAMAAS ).

OTOH might not turn out well. We could all just end up enslaved at plantations operated by our AGI overlords, serving their unfathomable needs[1].

Modern electronics can easily offer ring-to-motor latency low enough to elude perception (though they likely won't go for a truly imperceptible latency, that wouldn't be out of reach), with resolution/step-size competitive with the mechanical backlash of a manual focus ring setup, and the convenience of the focus pulling input knob/ring only having a cable between it and the focus motor in the lens.

If fast (aperture) zoom lenses for sport photography had ultrasonic ring motors for auto focus 10 years ago, at low-to-medium quad-digits for the entire lens, and minimal (AF-included) shutter lag being a major selling point (next to the lack of audible frequency motor noise), there can't be a true technical limitation preventing lenses for "cinema" use from relying on a pair of motors to allow a mechanical/optical coupling between zoom and focus.

I did not mean to use an autofocus on the sensor side; rather just on the actuator side.

Personally I maintain my opinion that problems getting fixed by HN are a bigger red flag than problems not getting fixed at all. The HN reader Upper Management Person either thinks putting out fires before they become higher profile failures is a cheaper way of avoiding bad press than instituting actual good policies with regards to not fucking over their customers, or they want to implement those policies but are not competent to do so.

"Send me your details and I'll fix it" = incompetent or asshole

"Don't send me your details, I've fixed the problem for you and everyone else with the same issue" = green flag
I’ve been a plumber all my life, all I see here is more pipes.
it is up to you and how you implement it. eg. a trigger notifies the backend that a new job is in the queue (push) or the backend can regularly check for new jobs (pull). once the backend finishes the job, the row in the queue table can be updated with a flag "DONE" or something like that.

you can use any language you want in the backend for notifications, or use even ZMQ (for example https://github.com/SpiderOak/skeeter) with a DEALER pattern to have more than one worker. or other implementations or postgres extensions (like pg_cron).

very flexible and is set up in less than an hour.

Nope, not even parent permission. It's used as one factor to prove that they are not "marketing to children".

If you are considered as targeting your product to children, you get hit by a different set of laws than if it's an "adult" product.

The opposite is the tyranny of the minority, which is even worse for a country as a whole.

I’m not sure what your point is here, though. There are three governmental branches in the US precisely because of this. If anything, the judicial branch is the one that presents a more imminent risk to minorities.
Yep. Firefox on Android is really awesome. If I only could replace the android WebView with it...
Multi-Account Containers are like profiles, but in tabs instead of other windows. They're pretty great.

Nailed about the algorithm. As an internet user since 1998, I'd be not so worried about "horrors", but of the algorithm and the "screen-sticky" junk it funnels to my son.

But on the other hand, it's my duty to actually be present with him. I see too many parents just paying "gadget ransom" to their kids, to just avoid distraction in unnecessary moments -- like on bus.
I mean, the full quote would not fit in the title, hence it is a summary
I prefer Firefox, even though I don't experience the benefits you seem to be experiencing. I find Firefox to be more sluggish than Chrome, and it's less compatible with websites than chrome.

I love it for tab containers - a game changer in web browsing. And ublock origin, and the fact that it isn't chrome.
I'm reminded of Wall-E, with the ship full of people who never leave their chairs.
Struggle not.

Imagine that you grow up in an environment where laboring is a way to sustain a so-so existence, and never anything more. The only way to make it big is to steal big. It's a life goal. If you get to a position if any power, you are expected to steal. If you do, others envy you. If you don't, others, including the regular folk, despise you, because they see you as an inept fool; were they in your position, they'd grab so much more! Also, your bosses tacitly expect that you grease their hand with some of the spoils from your position of some power; if you don't, you will lose your position, there are many more willing candidates.

The above happens naturally when people see the wealth of their community, or their whole society, as a loot box to grab, not as an orchard to grow. It's very easy to hold such views when much wealth comes from, well, grabbing natural resources like oil, ores, timber, etc. It may also be a convenient setup for those on the top, because it prevents people from trying to do something else than to get to the top the elites already control. No competition to the elites is going to form through cooperation and accumulation of wealth.

Once formed by greedy bandits, or instilled by conquerors (that is, greedy bandits from elsewhere), this sick system can continue as long as there are resources to extract and sell, boxes to loot. Of course even inside societies like those there are people who would prefer a different setup. Of course the change to a better society is not impossible. But it's a change that needs to alter ingrained values of many people, and topple many tiny power structures built on those which permeate the society. Such a change cannot be fast.
I just switched back to chrome for the same reason. Every page in Firefox was taking 60+second to load. Tried it on chrome and pages were loading instantly.

I had originally switched to Firefox for privacy concerns but that and the memory usage/occasional crashing were too much for me.

edit: not sure what the downvotes are for. I'm glad there's a second option out there. It didn't work for me but figured it was worth sharing my anecdote along with OPS. I just wish there was a third option, or more.
I met a Russian in the “banana export” business once. He espoused that exact same mentality: "4 years for X million euros? Would gladly take that deal".

Portability of saved passwords is a hassle that might get regulated in the next decade or two.

My kid has had youtube since birth. I would play nursery songs before 1 y.o. Later he was onto toy car and lego videos. Now he is 5, a couple months ago he discovered NumberBlocks and learned to count, first in English and later in our native tongue.

And not just counting, they also teach addition, subtraction and simple multiplication. He can count to 100 and has concepts of thousand, million and even minus one - he wants to know if it is between 0 and 1 :) Then he discovered AlphaBlocks and learned most letters, but he says the letters in English.

Youtube has really been one of his nannies. I don't believe in restricting his access unless he gets obsessed with the tablet. But he plays with legos and blocks most of the time. And the future is digital, I want him to be a digital native. Maybe not all kids react the same way, so every case is sui-generis.
Take all the profits from those resources and finance part of the country with it.
This wasn't handled very well, but… I do think it's the right thing to do. If you have a service that depends on something else (API) to make money, it's not unreasonable that you should have to pay a reasonable fee to that service.
And how much is it in your local currency that you’re getting paid for.
> I don't see how third party developers are additive to Twitter in the same way they're additive to Apple at all.

When did you start using Twitter? Twitter as we know it today is largely a product of the community and third party developers. Retweets, hashtags, quote tweets, the use of a blue bird symbol; all came from either the community at large or specific third party devs. The fun bots also drive a lot of twitter engagement; honestly they're the only real thing I miss on Mastodon (while some of the most important ones did come across, a lot didn't). Third party software also makes Twitter a support system, a status reporting system... The list goes on.

However, beyond all that, even if there was a good argument for killing the API free tier (there is not), no-one sensible would do it with _one week's notice_. This will alienate even commercial users who would be willing to pay. If you're using your CRM's twitter integration to track customer complaints, say, unless you're huge the free API is probably sufficient today. With one week's notice, even assuming you hear about it the first day (most will not) good look getting a purchase order for the API within a week if your company is even remotely bureaucratic (most are).

The patron saint of Dunning-Kruger presumably thinks it's a good idea, but can't imagine anyone else does.

I've been using a multi-profile setup in firefox for years, just by launching it with

firefox --new-instance -ProfileManager %u

which lets me pick a profile at startup, each with its own settings, cookies, history, and add-ons, etc.. This works fine for me, I don't really feel the need to launch into a different profile from the browser's own menu, if that's what you're referring to?
I love Firefox but some JS heavy demos etc. just don't work fast enough. I hate that I know exactly why. It's because they were only ever tested on Chrome during development.
