Yes, good idea. Letting Putin corruptly build up power over the last 20 years clearly hasn't caused any problems outside of Russia. /s
I was talking about local indexing. Nice to know it can deal with this use case relatively easily.
After seeing a number of Twitter headlines, I'm sensing a pattern. One that companies like Computer Associates would use: buy a company and extract value from it until it dies. CA however did this in a profitable manner over a long period of time.

Twitter seems to be running the course of being bought high, and accelerating the death spiral to extract minimal value.

And the status quo where the banks take a bigger cut to pay for their big compliance departments and the government takes a bigger cut to pay for auditing those compliance departments is somehow better?

X-percent not in your pocket is X-percent not in your pocket no matter how you cut it. At least in the proposed "stop giving a crap" case nobody will be denied access to boring routine financial products because they have a 3rd cousin with the same name as a Turkish mob boss.
Naturally smart kids really don’t have to study in high school because the material is so easy for them. Just staying awake in class and doing the reading once is sufficient if not moreso. Often times exam answers can be inferred from other exam questions with only partial knowledge of the material. There’s often a rude awakening in store for them though when they hit the second or third year of college and encounter challenging material for the first time while having no experience studying.
What better way to make the masses content right? Weed alone is amazing at making people ambitionless and unmotivated, ensuring they remain happy in otherwise garbage situations.

Why improve society when you can drug people up instead?
Using a third-party password manager like Bitwarden makes it easy to use any number of browsers and still sync to Android with autofill.
Not what I said...however, I personally do know a lot more people who have actually died from health issues directly related to smoking: heat attacks, emphysema, lung cancer.
Maybe last part is something that shouldn't happen. But before that. I think it is entirely reasonable outcome for non-functioning alcoholism. As society we shouldn't be forced accept to someone who is drunk all the time, and not capable to perform their work or interact with their friends and family is normal way.
None of these methods solve the potentially catastrophic problems created by "trust and safety" teams neutering these models.

Try asking chatGPT to summarize an article about a specific instance of violence like police use of force which resulted in a death and watch it confabulate and dodge regardless of how much source material you give it to work with, simply because it is afraid of touching "unsafe" topics like murder.

This is what like half the people in first world countries do all day.

There is no reason to suspect this is a technical limitation of the models we can build now, rather than a consequence of the fact that no one has bothered trying due to limitations on mechatronics.

Any claims to this end are both/either A) purely speculative and B) ontologically nonsensical. It's also not really relevant.
I realized when I stopped drinking that I thought I needed it to take the edge off, to relax or to be more social. It was all lies. I turned to meditation for when I’m stressed, and the rest I can do it sober.
I’d say not drinking anymore is top 5 in my best life decisions, up there with my choice of career and partner.
The best code style = the one written by someone who doesn't crash prod, segfault, or mess up the hot path (allocate).
You have to solve for a problem. I have also found you have to think 20 years out, build for a world you think will exist then. Always confirm with other thinkers.

Corporate insecthood (2022)
While I understand not wanting to include a sub par job --- just including a basic text editing facility (whatever is included as the native text object in your programming toolkit) would lower the bar for new users, and facilitate folks doing quick/simple/one-off projects.
So, here's the thing. I have no idea, like zero, what news event you're talking about in that first screenshot. So, what did I do? I went to Google to try to find something about a murdered city councilman, even looking for an equivalent on NewsBusters, which the AI cites as a source.

And I still can't find it. I can see some stuff that's maybe related? But nothing clear.

So... I guess I repeat. Your problem isn't "AI censorship", it's that no one wants to link to NewsBusters because of marketing concerns. If I had to guess there just wasn't any training data relevant to your query.

(Also: NewsBusters is a garbage site, you know that, right?)
I would say that it qualifies quite clearly as off-topic as described here: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

still non drinkers do not live longer on average.

which totally defeat one of the few benefits associated to not drinking, unless you don't like drinking.

even if minuscule doses of alcohol increased the risk of getting some form of cancer, I live in a big city, I already increased my risk of getting cancer 10x by simply breathing ...

ScummVM 2.7.0: Call for Testing
Exactly, it's an example of a CLI that already messed up its interface, and has actually changed commands (checkout -> switch, has added flags for submodules, etc), and overall has improved since past versions, and still tries to improve.

And AFAIK it didn't add telemetry to send used commands to any server, even if that would have been by far the easiest way, given 90% of devs use it and complain about how bad it is.

It's an arbitrary percentage, but it gets the point across. The amount of devs using git is probably at least an order or magnitude higher than those using Go.

Go, on the other hand, already has decent-ish tooling (at least better Git), but it wants to add opt-out telemetry anyway.
It's funny. The way deepmind is going about it, these AI agents are going to live in a total virtual world in which we then enter and participate. It's not clear that AI will actually immerse itself in the real world. While we find general uses for differently trained models, the whole robots being everywhere thing seems less likely than say a 3D metaverse we participate in using AR glasses so we can see these digital creatures. Could be totally wrong, could argue for the other case, it mostly doesn't matter. I just don't think our interactions with this technology will be physical.

Honestly there are ... wait for it ... layers.

Randomly incoherent layouts, spacing and so forth are just signs of (a good programmer exploring and or a bad one who thinks it's finished)

But then there are other layers - too much going on, more than one thing happening, having to go back and work out what that call did. Just failing to follow a thread.

Then business layers and oh I give in. Determining "good programming" is like determining "good literature" or "truth". You know it when you see it. And you vomit on the bad stuff. But you have to read a lot of it.
Which show and episodes? My niece has been looking for some quality educational programming.
Remember when we had press that was competent?
It's a CLI program with an associated library. That means anyone who wants to use it on a system I don't happen to publish binaries for, or who prefer to compile things from source rather than using pre-compiled binaries, or anyone who wants to use a commit I haven't published binaries for, or who uses a source package from their distro (Gentoo users, Arch users who use a source package from the AUR), anyone who wants to modify it to add a feature or fix a bug, all potential contributors, etc etc etc. would be exposed to Google's telemetry because of my decision to use Go.

And then there's everyone who wants to make use of the library and chooses whatever language makes that easier. I've certainly used Python for some projects just because a certain library is most easily used from Python.
I think that’s the real evolving story here. It’s no mystery why advertisers don’t want their ads next to posts by a human trafficker. Twitter still has good value for political ads, though, and I believe will run some high-profile sales.

Pelvic Exams on Anesthetized Women Without Consent (2018)
Musk doesn't have to pay taxes on his stock unless and until he sells it, which ironically is what he has been forced to do in order to finance the Twitter deal. So if he wanted to avoid paying taxes, purchasing Twitter was the dumbest idea ever. But I seriously doubt that was his reason.

Money aside, Musk seems to genuinely enjoy using Twitter, and all the attention he gets from it, so it would be personally self-destructive for him to destroy the company in some kind of convoluted tax avoidance scheme. If he wanted to lose money, he could do it with a company he doesn't care about.
Ask HN: Why are spy satellites more acceptable than high altitude spy balloons?
Anyone know?
WTAF?
Sure, that's a large part of what I meant by "endless churn of accidental complexity". The embedded development mindset is to throw a working binary over the wall, maintainability and updates be damned. This kind of worked at the level of 16 bit micros where complexity was limited, but it doesn't scale.
I don't quite understand. In the case where the function is expecting a list, why would you want to execute the logic for "empty list" on an empty tuple?

Wouldn't this just be the developer using the wrong comparison for the types the function is expecting(hence more reason to be explicit instead of using the implicit false)?
New laws would have to outlaw fair use, that will likely not happen as the only country that ignores such laws will win, especially now that the cat is out of the bag.
This reminds me of the Chipknip card system in the Netherlands that was launched in the year 1995 and shut down in 2015.

Chipknip allowed offline transfers, money could be moved from one card to another without contacting a payment processor or bank. Reading the tech paper, it sounds like they have not entirely decided if the digital pound will support that.

It is a certainty that this will be designed to allow as much government spying as possibly, despite any deceptive assurances that the central bank can't see what individual are doing. The tech paper says that people will have to go through identity checks to use the system.

There is no mention of customer protection. with a credit card you can call them and request a refund if you get scammed.

I can't think of use cases that would make people want to use this instead of debit cards and the infrastructure would be expensive so I doubt it will go anywhere.

Smart pill treats constipation by vibrating through your body
Consider having to decide between a 20 min trip by car, or 1 hour trip by train, and the car driving has 100x serious accident probability. However, you save 40 minutes if you drive. Likely, driving doesn't take 40 min off your life expectancy. And even if it did, you save the minutes now, and not at the end of your life.

Ethiopia's online horrors: 'I saw my father's dead body on Facebook'
Yes it was straightforward. The documentation makes it sound more complex to implement than I remember it being.
Yes, I concede that was not a good rhetorical point to make.

My reaction to the parent comment came from my feeling that men expecting their girlfriends to never confront them or disagree, especially in public, is a much more common, and generally accepted, dynamic.

The fundamentalist interpretation, as I understand, is that husband and wife should be devoted to each other but the husband's authority is final, and a kind of tie breaker in a disagreement.

But yeah, at scale its probably an edge case.
What exactly do you mean by “live lock screen?” Is that a setting somewhere? How do I find it?
I think they're making the distinction between special cases and error cases.

An empty list could be valid(e.x. a search of users providing no results) so you still need to differentiate between "special cases that need special logic" and "bad input".

Lumping the two together in one `if` block makes any code less readable imo, because they're not the same thing.
They are useful though.
> Because we like alcohol and want to be told we're right for liking it.

That works the other way too. It's all too easy for people who don't like alcohol anyway to jump on studies like these, but the fact that their personal preference aligns with health advice doesn't justify their expressions of moral superiority. There's no moral dimension to it. It's little more than happenstance.

"Don't judge a man until you've walked a mile in his shoes" still applies.
The point is to allocate money for yourself first, and if there aren't sufficient funds to fund operations then you know you have a problem. Clearly paying necessary expenses must come first from a cash perspective but in terms of the business, if allocating for what you want to make results in the company not being able to cover expenses then you know that you are working for your business and not the other way around. It's a common trap.
Revisit the Android W^X problem
Developer productivity has been regressing for the last ~15 years, and execution-time costs exploded at the same time. The change is much more prominent if you take into account non-functional requirements (UX, security, etc).

Comparing to the 90's is a complete strawman.

But keep in mind that this regression is not a constant smooth movement. Most of the time the field has been progressing into better results, while very few times there has been a giant and immediate setback.
Crossing into personal attack is not ok and will get you banned here, regardless of how wrong someone else is or you feel they are.

"Anything that gratifies ones intellectual curiosity." So clearly on-topic.

It's a flame-bait topic, no doubt, but the idea that this (progressive pressure leading to tolerance of girls being abused) isn't a topic for the intellectually curious is contentious to say the least.

Specifically, mainstream press and TV have not covered this until their hands were forced, so flaggers should probably clarify why they are doing so.

I do understand the distaste for flame-ish subjects, but that's ultimately down to the conduct of the commenters.

"Strictness" when applied to types usually refers to the existence of implicit type conversions.

Overall, "strictness" is a really bad word to use, because it has thousands of different meanings. But on the context of types, I don't know of any better synonym.
If you want to play, I recommend getting the newest experimental release from https://cataclysmdda.org/experimental/ instead of the 2-year-old 0.F-3. The experimentals are in good shape right now, as the next major release is very, very near, and will be almost identical to current experimentals.
Well power is toxic that way unfortunately, I’m happy we’re having a bribery scandal right now (even if it’s being ignored by much of the media) and that things like Chat Control is being brought up (https://www.patrick-breyer.de/en/posts/chat-control/).

EU will do a lot in the name of its subjects, but in the end it comes down to power and money. Anyone thinking it won’t end up as a totalitarian forced unification of the member states are sorely mistaken, or viewing it within the context of a minuscule time frame.
Pretty sure she knows the drill (1). She's actually talking about scientists 'faithfully' looking for a grand unification theory when there is no evidence one exists. I always enjoy her stuff...

edit: I guess she's more talking about scientists proposing/searching for more particles (that don't seem to exist) to support GUT theories. Maybe physicists are bored now they found all the standard model particles?

edit2: PS - If anyone that knows this stuff reads this, one thing I've never seen an explanation of is at size do quantum effects end and relativistic effects take over? How do quantum 'turn into' relativistic effects? ( how do the 2 systems 'interface' ??)
