I've been on an extended getaway trying to escape Wisconsin winters, so I brought my Steam Deck. I installed a 1TB SSD and created a 300GB Windows partition. At the end of the work day I can unplug my corporate laptop and plug in my Steam Deck. I'll do some .NET programming for a bit on a side project, and then jump on Valheim with friends. At the end of the day when I just want to sit on the couch or lay in bed I can undock and reboot into SteamOS.

It's not a perfect experience. Some of the Windows drivers could use some work. I would rather be running Visual Studio on my desktop at home. Performance in games like Valheim is maybe around 40FPS average... but I would seriously ask the question what other $400 device with a $150 SSD upgrade could product the same results.
It's the dying out of the "middle" of the value curve. You end up with a market that's dominated by cheap "good enough" products for casuals and "products built to last" for power users.

So if you have a low effort website that's factual and text based, you're going to get your lunch eaten by GPT, if you have a higher effort website (subscription gated with lots of multimedia content and user engagement) you'll be fine.

Think of all the blogspam recipe sites that are going to run into trouble when ChatGPT learns to cook well. Lots of text, little additional value, no community. There still will be America's Test Kitchen because people on the upper end of the value curve don't just want a recipe, they want pictures + video of that recipe being made and a place where they can ask questions and get answers.
No, because what we need isn't just a static file host.

If we wanted one, we'd use logandark.net. We use that server to host many static files. It's just not easy to upload them; it requires logging into a control panel, navigating to the directory, and manually uploading the file. And we're not particularly interested in provisioning a set of shell scripts or cron jobs or whatever to make it easier, because that's not an easily reproducible setup.

I'm trying to find the quote your talking about, but I just see a comparison between stdlib, scikit-learn, and nipy. And for the import stats it is just what was on github in 2014. I think that it is safe to say that most code is not publicly available on github.

Though regardless of usage, I think that people doing stuff that needs floats are more likely to understand why they need them, and have the ability to use them explicitly without much issue. By using python, and most other high level languages, we're already making sacrifices to make things easier to use and understand, and in Python specifically we're told that explicit is better than implicit, except for this.
I've got to say it was one of the most painfully bad presentations I've ever seen, from any company or organization. Spectacular fail.
Hard mode: what application would be effected by .3 being off 10^-17
Sweet, time to update my project from Beta to RC. The changes to GDscript have been awesome. I'll be digging into more of the network changes next.
i'm kind of in agreement - i think there's an extraordinarily strong nocebo effect and dearth of belief in agency after being diagnosed with something like that. At the same time, nearly all treatments are effectively worthless. so what's even the benefit? at the same time, I do believe mental health issues partially exist to signal to the tribe that something is wrong with that member and it's a call for help. so there should be some way to triage and provide support. but idk if our current transactional system that exists to pay pharma is good
I don't mean changes in treatment, but rather that some people previously went undiagnosed and "just got over it" on their own. As I said, in my own case treatment didn't help and actually made matters worse as I saw myself more as a victim who "couldn't help myself". n=1 of course. And many people of course do benefit from treatment.

As I mentioned: even if this turns out to be factor – and I'm not sure it even is – then I don't think this accounts for 100% of the increase. I don't profess this is the full explanation, merely a possible factor, out of several.

I'm also reminded by my uncle, who was born with a serious and debilitating heart condition; he always said that if he had listened to his doctors he'd be a "victim" in a wheelchair inside all day. Of course he did need serious medical attention, including a heart transplant, and he did end up dying from his condition at the age of 51, but overall he led a "good life" and just carried on with things without seeing himself as too much of a victim. It probably would have been a different life if he did. Mental feedback loops can be pretty powerful.

It's also worth pointing out the charts look a bit less drastic if you zoom out to the 70s; in fact, suicide for boys especially was a lot higher in the 80s than it is now. The author does address that briefly at the bottom, and provides a link with more detail (which is too much to quote here, but tl;dr is that they believe it's correlated to lead exposure and crime rates – this link also contains the longer timeframe charts).
Calcium is amazing and so is exact real arithmetic or constructive real number, but they all can't avoid practically undecidable inputs. (Algebraic numbers as in Calcium can be made decidable, but they still can take an unreasonable amount of time to compute. Calcium does answer "unknown" for those cases.)
Clickup Status page is not accurate
The service has been intermittently inaccessible for the last week.

Last week they acknowledged an issue, but their status page does not reflect these issues.

Whats up, clickup ?
Tradeoffs. Everyone has to make them. Modern c++ is safe in the mistakes people often make. Sure there is unsafe stuff, but they are not in things where you would normally do that.
I've found that sometimes the hardest issue is getting mentally unblocked enough to find a problem that seems approachable. One of the best ways I've found to prompt you is to start browsing libraries till you find some that imply a goal you might enjoy. My last fun personal project was making a command line AppleTV remote with a lib for doing such. I'd been so burnt out till I saw a random link to the lib, and it just sucked me in.
"Do you celebrate failures at work?"

I don't. But I'm sure my bosses celebrate my failures since it makes their decision of who to give a bad rating to very easy.
Build your own Search Engine
Depends on the field. Fields with strong network effects, like social media, lend themselves towards strong incumbents. But usually the market changes faster than an incumbent can, so disrupting comes from changing users needs rather than someone building a better mousetrap to serve the same needs.

But lots of industries don't have particularly strong network effects. Cars are a good example; there's brand affinity, but there's no particular reason you need to drive the same brand as your neighbor. There are scale economies, so it's still not easy for new entrants.
> Erdogan released a memorandum and asked the public to use Türkiye to describe the country in every language

I wonder how that works. Does Eredrogan expect every country to write and say "Türkiye? Does it work the other way around - can Germany change their official name in Turkey/Türkiye to "Deutschland"?
That's interesting. As a parent of young kids myself I have noticed an absolute dearth of kids movies in the theatres (it's cold outside and we need something to do!). The only one has been the Puss in Boots movie but it's definitely for older kids (part of the plot is Puss literally being pursued by Death) so we haven't been.

I'm surprised the theatre couldn't just put on an older movie but maybe the deal with their distributor forbids them from doing so?
Me too. File synchronization is a key feature for my work.
Yes, and the web hosting is why we used them. It's not just the file sync. It's the file sync and being able to access the file from any browser on any computer just by typing in a short, memorable URL.

DDOSing humans rarely benefits the truth. In case of cognitive overload, humans tend to favor the simple answers, not the correct one.
I do hope we will get a hardware implementation of decimal now that chipmakers dont k ow what to do with the extra transistors and keep coming up with new vector instructions, that most developers dont k ow how to ise and most languages don't even supoort
> Bacterial mats, multicellular organisms, forests, fields of grass, mamals, families, civilizations. All of these things are escalations in survivability due to every part of them choosing to "voluntarily refraining from maximizing its production." in favor of behavior that improves the status quo for others.

Cooperation is definitely a popular strategy for survival, and our instinct for altruism benefits the survival of human families and small groups. Consider though, that in each of your examples, the collective entities formed then grow to the greatest extent, limited only by resource constraints and competition from other entities.
I made my desk out of a thick walnut slab, and it turned out great. On the woodworking FB group, people said I could sell it easily on Etsy etc for over $2K. So I looked into it. My COG was about $1k, and Etsy would take 20% of the $2K selling price, leaving me with $600 before shipping costs. Now this desk is large, weighs a lot and shipping would easily be $300-500 in the CONUS. I guess that's on the customer though. Hmm...

While noodling around with this idea I did some market research on Etsy and saw that others were selling similar desks for about $2K, with FREE shipping. I reached out to one of the sellers asking if this was real or a bait and switch. Apparently if you don't ship for free, Etsy actively discriminates against your post. So my end profit would have been between $100-$300 for a week or so of work.

Sometimes no matter how you slice it, physical goods don't make much sense. I'd have to charge at least 50% more to make it even worthwhile, and I doubt the market for $3K desks is that large.

You could run Minio just like they do.
I had once assumed std::unordered_map was from the original Standard Template Library (which pre-dates C++ standardization), but turns out (I was told in a r/cpp thread) it's more modern. In 1998 std::unordered_map would have been an excusable design mistake, domain experts knew in 1998 that's a sub-optimal design for this dict / hashmap structure - but you could suppose perhaps they were not on the committee. In 2011 it's not an excusable mistake, better structures are widely known in academic and in industry - it was an unforced error.

The more closely I look at it, the more I'm convinced that unsafety wasn't an inadvertent and undesirable consequence of a "must go fast" mindset in standard C++, unsafety was the whole point. It makes me think about that speech by Susan Sarandon's Rick & Morty character, Dr Wong.

Dr Wong: "I have no doubt that you would be bored senseless by therapy, the same way I'm bored when I brush my teeth and wipe my ass, because the thing about repairing, maintaining, and cleaning is; it's not an adventure. There's no way to do it so wrong you might die."

Software Engineering is an engineering discipline, it is not supposed to be an adventure. Programming C++ is an adventure, you can do it so wrong you might die. We should stop paying people to go on an adventure, let them do that exclusively on their free time if they want.
That's not because the kids are weird. It's because new movies mostly suck and are distributed through an inaccessible labyrinth of disconnected streaming services. Movies were killed by studios, not by the incomprehensible preferences of a new generation.
Books. Lots of books. Whether in my area of focus or in history, art, and fiction; just feeding the thirst in other ways helps tremendously. Also, hobbies that give you a chance to practically apply things that you learn. I believe the addiction comes from the absence of healthy habits.
We did this for a relative with Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade a few years back. Ended up being a really great time.
>his writing doesn’t have much personality; it’s designed not to have any

I completely disagree. It's possible to be so used to it that you don't notice it. To me his style has very clear voice, one that speaks in a very calm, self-assured manner, always mixing fact and opinion. Yes, it's not quirky like mango.pdf.zone or dry like a research paper, but it still has a very recognizable personality.
And on iOS as well!
Lua scripting can be more commonly performed by people without an engineering background, depending on the workplace. Game designers and level artists probably don't have much C experience, so Python's relative proximity to C is a non-factor.
What storm? Things are going great in employment numbers and GDP growth.
> Did the Enron scandal undermine our understanding of steam turbines?

If you know anything about it, you probably are aware it's accounting related rather than technology related.
>Film studios can use deepfakes to bring back actors who passed away.

That just reminds me of the short story about a society where nobody died. It wasn't meant to be a happy story.
WW1 already demonstrated that "trade keeps peace" can't be counted on, but some people never learn. The argument was made and soundly debunked many years before anybody here was even born.

If we refer to scientific writing as journal articles or conferences, it is just a matter of tradition and a certain gusto for science as an "objective" enterprise.
Years ago, during my PhD, one of the professors working in my department referred to a colleague as a "research monk." As I saw it, he was just a person who didn't take care of his hair.

"Linear regression models were fit by first checking the normality of residuals" for some old-timers sounds better than "we fit linear regression by first checking the normality of residuals."
But what is the difference between the two sentences? In the first case, it may sound like you, me and someone else's cousin would have gotten the same results; in the second, that we did those analyses and got those results. If others were to perform the analyses, who knows what would happen.
But it is just an impression, isn't it?
Yes, thank you for this. I just ran it with the floor() function actually called and it did give 56.000000. I didn't think to check the precision. Rookie mistake!

I liked the Steam Deck well enough; I bought one and tinkered for several weeks before returning it. The potential is clear, even if the current iteration is pretty rough in terms of software usability and performance.

What seems less clear to me is if they will ever address the abysmal battery repairability[1], until which I will not be purchasing.

Where did you get the idea that I don't use the features?

I'm not interested in evaluating or comparing the features, but I'll use them if they suit my needs.
George Orwell's books are the best. I especially loved Animal Farm.
I grew up watching Yes, (Prime)? Minister. The 70s to the early 80s were really the golden age of British TV. This show, Blake's 7 (if you like sci-fi and haven't seen this it's still great, go watch it), Dr Who's golden years (ie Tom Baker), even the Goodies. probably even Grange Hill (which had a high school student die of a heroin overdose).

One particularly prescient piece was the Nuclear Deterrant [1]. Even 40+ years ago this episode argued that nuclear weapons were mostly pointless because you'd never use them and instead you should invest in smart weapons. The linked segment even has a line that the Soviets can't take Western Europe, they can't even hold Afghanistan. Consider that in light of Ukraine. Think about where munitions have gone and "smart" weapons are particularly prevelent.

And of course the writing and performance for Sir Humphrey in particular was absolutely top notch.

The Web never really replaced books as information sources for important things. The way to access most of the best stuff available via the Web is to... download ebooks, thus leaving the Web, if not just the "buy" button for real, physical books.

The single most intellectually valuable website on the entire Web is very likely Library Genesis, where the only Web content is a catalog of books you can pirate by clicking a link, and it's, like, a lot more valuable than any other site (even Wikipedia). It may well be more valuable, in those terms, than the entire rest of the Web combined.

If serious book publishers survive a while longer and if non-fiction books aren't overrun with dubiously-accurate AI bullshit, things won't actually change all that much, I think.

As far as written content goes, the (public) Web is most useful for opinions or product discovery, and even those can already hardly be trusted because of all the marketing astroturfing. AI garbage barely changes that already-toxic dynamic.

Video's another matter—some video content on the Web is great and has ~no at-least-as-good replacement anywhere else, in any other medium. But it's also all but completely monopolized by Youtube and hardly participates in or factors into the broader Web.
I don't think they do, at least on x86-64 and arm
Yep I stuck with the 9000 and then the 9700, and then finally 9900 (Probably played with a Torch in between). Was fun being able to dog food those phones, but also depressing knowing that the Storm was going to be shit.
> you trust a tool like a calculator to give you the right answer.

By middle school, kids should have learned that you can't trust calculators. There are all sorts of numbers like pi, e, sqrt(2) that are impossible to represent. Once you start getting into trig, you have to accept rounding.

ChatGPT is amazing, until it isn't.
These are Twitter's filtered stream rules. They're accessible via the API to select from the global feed in real time. I don't have access to the firehose, of course, but my understanding is that it's an outgrowth of their internal systems. They have their own query language to filter Tweet and user parameters, semantic entity recognition, URL's etc.

Thank you for your comments in this thread. The disconnect between theory and practice in these threads (and others) where it concerns people a little lower on the earnings and education totem pole is quite shocking. It's almost as if people on HN as a rule are isolated from the real world to an extent that they come off as utterly devoid of empathy with those that aren't earning as much money and who did not have the same degree of education as they themselves do.
Tell someone with an issue with their physical condition that it is because of diet and lack of exercise and many would change habits, tell them it's due to a incurable but perhaps treatable cancer and some will chose suicide.

Tell kids that they are unhappy due to choices made in day to day life and they might change those choices, tell them it's due to a incurable but maybe treatable issue with their brain and some will chose suicide.

The problem may be classifying typical human misery as incurable illness.
Show HN: Interval, quickly build admin tools for Python apps
Hey HN,

I’m Alex, one of the creators of Interval. It’s the fastest way to build admin tools without writing any HTML, CSS or other frontend code.

We’re not a low-code/no-code tool though. The biggest unlock of our approach is that you build your tools by writing code with our SDK directly inside your existing backend codebase. This means you have access to your ORM, your existing backend functions, environment variables, infrastructure, and so on.

We launched back in June with our Node.js/TypeScript SDK and today we’re launching our second ever SDK, Interval for Python.

Excited to have you give it a shot + happy to answer any questions.

It could be that being diagnosed with an illness, even with excellent treatment, symptoms can become a self fulfilling prophecy. If you believe you are at increased risk for suicide, maybe you start thinking more about that and it comes to fruition. Or maybe you take some meds, which make you better 99.9% of the time but that one time your flight is late or whatever and miss the dose and the rebound is twice as bad as never having been on them.

Also ultimately suicide by definition is based on most harmful decision of life event rather than what a doctor is probably optimizing for which is best day-to-day ability to function. These are two different optimizations that can be at odds. Almost nobody would choose to feel worse 99.9% of the time to reduce the risk in that 0.1% of the time they're suicidal.

My brother in law has a successful Etsy shop where he mostly sells "charcuterie boards" he makes in his home workshop as a side gig from his job as a VP of a civil engineering firm. There isn't much to them: no joinery, just a slab with a live edge. He just fills any voids or defects with epoxy, puts it through his surface sander, and applies a nice clear durable finish. Every piece is unique. He does seek out spalted and other interesting grain features to highlight. It helps that almost all of his wood is locally salvaged at almost zero expense other than his time. He loves to hunt down recently fallen trees to make a deal with the property owner to take the wood off their hands.

He gets a lot of repeat business from people like realtors who use his boards as housewarming gifts for their clients.
Nice seeing this on the top of HN, lucky timing, I was just browsing code/blogposts etc last night and ended up donating €30. I've been toying with the software and I've been pretty impressed.

You're mistaken. In fact 0.3 is closer to the next-smaller float than it is to the next-larger one which results. But the result of float(0.1) + float(0.2) is not any of those things, but rather halfway between the previous and next floats from 0.3, so it gets rounded up instead of down.

Not unjustifiably; without specifically referring to any posts you may have made, such comments in general add no insight or value to the discussion. It's just noise that has to be scrolled past.

(The same goes for discussing getting downvoted, which is discouraged by the HN guidelines.)
