What to you describe quickly grows into full-blown recommendation engine.

And IMHO the beauty of the old-school chronological/category organization over the recommendation engines is that it's super simple and predictable, making it a lot less stressful to me, as it's not constantly trying to push your buttons, playing with your FoMO instincts and engagement metrics. If I don't feel like reading something now, it'll still be there in 2 weeks, I can find it easily if I wish.
A recent discussion on the topic

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34764318
Europe is not that left leaning. While it has common agreement on certain topics that in the US are still a big left-right debate on other Europe is way more radical than US. For example hating a certain minority (eg. gypsies) is pretty much mainstream in Europe and has little blowback. There's far right parties with quite a strong base in pretty much every European country.
End Salaries. :sigh:
There is no clear project structure if you don't write down what the expected project structure is. Which you really need even with a framework, because the frameworks only provide really rough high level structure.

While I loathe files thousands of lines long, I also loathe the endless chasing of things from file to file that tends to be the result of applying big frameworks to tiny projects.
I imagine that conservatism across Asia looks very different than conservatism in the US; i.e., questions of trust in government, whether COVID is serious, or whether people should own guns.
The article is quite specific about ChatGPT not being useful for writing essays. It also carefully speculates about some other uses. It even insists on it being a very fancy form of autocompletion, so it shouldn't be surprising that it was useful in your example. And it also points out that it's bad teaching that should be concerned about it, which is also seems the case for your daughter's teacher (for perhaps a very mild example of bad teaching).
Yeah that is annoying I must admit. You can create a nice server with just node but when you import something like a markdown parser or a sqlite driver then then your modules folder quickly fills up...
Sounds like they should establish rent control and lodging tax on hotels/airbnbs/shortstays.
Stoicism in general has aged very well. When I read Marcus Aurelius’ Meditations, I was amazed at how relevant the thing still is, even though it’s 1.8K+ years old at this point.

We bought two used bicycles in Amsterdam. Guy we bought it from looked a bit sketchy and had like 20-30 bikes in a spot near his home. Most of them were in pretty bad condition but we could pick the ones we liked. I had a strong suspicion that some of them could be stolen. But hey, they were priced at 30 euros not 100 like new ones. When we left Amsterdam few months later we sold them
(bit cheaper) to another couple of young probably tourists so they went back into the ecosystem.

Democrats, which is often used synonymously with Liberal in the United States, use this saying because they see the major opposing side, the Republicans, as needing to deny scientific evidence to push agendas. (sometimes true)

Democrats would point to climate change as an example of this. They then extrapolate too far, in my opinion, and declare that Liberal=Science therefore Liberal=Objective therefore Republican != Objective.

I think it's clear that this kind of tribal-based reasoning hurts objectivity.
Seems like everyday that goes by there's something going on in America that makes me believe they have lost their minds.
Nope; bootloader flash chips use NOR instead of NAND flash precisely to prevent this.

NOR flash guaranteed for a minimum of 100,000 complete rewrites of every cell, with no flash translation layer gimmickery. The downside is that it is very expensive, which is why a few dozen megabytes of NOR flash costs as much as many gigabytes of MLC NAND.

Typical NOR flash chip; "Minimum 100,000 Program/Erase Cycles":

https://www.gigadevice.com/flash-memory/gd25b127d/

NAND flash vendors often advertise "up to" a similar number of P/E cycles on their SLC devices, but you'll have a hard time getting them to guarantee that. And for TLC and MLC NAND you find in non-industrial products the number is more like 3% of that:

https://www.kingston.com/en/blog/pc-performance/difference-between-slc-mlc-tlc-3d-nand

TL;DR: bootloader flash chips are chosen such that they are nearly impossible to "wear out".
With the stolen bike, if the vanmoofs are stealthy enough to no get caught in the act, it might go pretty fine as I assume the thieves won't file police reports. Now if they already sold it, things might get hairy... in my place when your car gets stolen and you file a report you need to provide all kind of documents which a stolen bike owner won't possibly have. So I guess approaching the same way for theft of expensive gear (need to provide ownership proof) could curb it a little. And yes, I know also cars get stolen.
First thing the understand is that isn't really a quote by "Stephen Colbert" the person it is a joke made via "Stephen Colbert" the character from the Colbert Report which was a caricature poking fun at Bill O'Reilly (mostly).

This character is a conservative infotainment host. And so when reality ultimately flies in the face of his conservative viewpoints the joke is that he merely dismisses reality because "reality has a liberal bias".

Within this context I imagine the argument is that in many cases what is perceived as a "political bias" by some might just be considered "reality" by others. For example there was the issue from the early 2000s of "teach the controversy" where some conservatives would have argued answering truthfully about the scientific consensus on evolution or global warming was "leftwing bias".

The most important thing I think is that it is a joke that simply rings true with a lot of people as time has passed.
It makes sense to me. It lets you compare against US salaries and standardizes the EU currencies.

If the href needed to come from the api and the ID needed to be incremented and unknowable ahead of time then there were always going to be complexities. But it’s not like React stops you from hardcoding href URIs (said as someone who generally avoids using React whenever I can).
That's because we (in Europe) didn't know anything else and people are reluctant to change seeing the negative PR coming out of US. I'm pretty sure majority of people in Europe hate how our massive taxation is for the most part wasted.

You can interpret this both as "anyone with half a brain is a leftie" and "the radical left has compromised the academia".

So much of the effort of extending JavaScript via many frameworks and the constant updating feels brittle.

It makes having a relationship with a stable piece of code challenging to move on to the next big function.

Over time, maintaining anything too old or too new can drag momentum and progress.

Still it’s one of the most universal technologies. Some of the more recent simple frameworks like alpine.js, or lit as I rediscovered today on HN may have more merit than initially realized.
Hmm I wonder how they did the TC though since the value of stock has absolutely plummeted now.

On salary I'm well below the median value here despite being a senior engineer at a large international company, in a department that pays slightly higher on average.

Salaries in Europe are pitiful nevertheless, and then you've gotta add the 40% income tax and 25% VAT too :(
So a consensus position is by definition center? So (democratic) countries can't lean to either side of the spectrum because by definition their positions are supported by the majority, and thus a center position?
>We’ve used publicly available job boards and self reported data points on European data pay to collect data for 500 jobs across 260 companies.

Unfortunately this isn't a particularly useful methodology. Pay data isn't a legal requirement in job ads in Europe (yet) and most job ads opt not to include the data.

Publicly available salary is tricky but there's plenty of reliable, highly accurate pay-to-access sources like the Radford Aon Comp Survey:

I think the issue might be the name "tree shaking". People from outside of the JavaScript just don't understand what it means, and how important it is. Maybe we should have just called it "dead code elimination". (I think there is some subtle difference but my memory is failing me).
that's what most people in Europe refuse to see. is common for even left-wing Europeans to hate on certain ethnicities, on other nationalities, to be very nationalistic in general.

Thats not ChatGPTs source code. The author did not trick it into leaking anything, it simply came up with a response like any other.

Ask it to tell you that its an Alien trapped in a computer at OpenAI, and it will happily do so. Doesnt mean it's true, or even remotely makes sense.
I agree. Note how I didn't use residential only-zones, instead opting for residential zones, which can and should be mixed-use. This is not to say that there are some incompatible land uses to be considered - industrial uses can broadly be considered to be incompatible with residential uses, for example.
Then you'll be very impressed by the number of creations Rockefeller had. Standard Oil itself was an empire, not a factory, in a time when it took weeks and an army to get even information sent out.

Carnegie was incredible as well.

I'm not saying Elon isn't impressive, he is. He's just not the MOST impressive.

One tiny space sailing company and a shoddy carriage company compare poorly to the empires of Standard Oil, Carnegie steel, Ford, and the side projects of these people (multiple high impact philanthropic enterprises). They're the literal hands that built America.

He's still young though, there's some hope for him.

You're reinforcing my point by showing that green hydrogen has similar use cases to batteries. Nobody considers batteries a fuel source. Batteries and green hydrogen are energy storage, not fuel sources.

And as you said, energy storage is a crucial part of decarbonization.

Fragile X is about 1.4 cases per 10,000 males. Autism is way more common than that, so I wouldn't say the Fragile X accounts for even a single percent of Autism cases. The article saying that it is the most common cause of Autism is definitely weasle-wording, and can only be claimed because most autism is not monogenic in nature. It's almost always a polygenic trait, and therefore doesn't have a single "identified" cause.
The weird thing is how people steer the conversation ("stay in character!") and then conclude something about the model having certain ethics.

Or when they conclude that the model can read its own source when it just invents something to please the category error.

Really these conversations reveal more about the human will to believe than about the model's abilities, impressive as they are!

The SEC can only bring civil charges. Their enforcement actions are also procyclical: They collect the bodies.
Clever and minimal approach!

I wonder whether you could turn this into a static renderer by skipping the `after_render` as a separate step that only happens in the browser. You could even rename it `hydrate` if you want to use fancy modern JS lingo. The benefit would be to show content on initial page load without JS enabled as well as letting crawlers index your site (some still don't run JS).
> there's a difference not providing a full picture of a war or a new economic policy, and outright lying.

No, not for propaganda. If you want people to have a certain perception and position on a topic, selective reporting of topics and the presentation of them is far more relevant. This certainly does qualify as misleading.

Lies are even more ineffective since they often can be directly disproved, which biases people to believe the opposite. You want to present your spin in a certain blur.

Many prominent sociologist pretty much explain the mechanisms media and advertisers employ in detail. To say this is a fringe position is misleading too.
Cool, but I still prefer a patched Slashem =).

I think it might about the price. You had a 2000 pound bike. Amsterdam is full of 50 pound bikes.
Probably the biosphere was simpler (fewer extant species at any given time). Being highly intelligent seems to be biologically expensive: the human brain burns a huge amount of calories, and as to the demands of being an upright species with a large head:body mass ratio, ask any mother.

Lots of species are intelligent - not just the mammal kingdom (dolphins, apes, elephants), but also birds (corvids) and even molluscs (octopus), but nothing else has shown any tendency to develop the sort of runaway intelligence (and corresponding brain development => biological demand) that humanity has.

Seems likely that the average intelligence of animals was quite a lot lower in the Mesozoic, and that while high intelligence is evolvable, it takes a long time to evolve - whereas isolated island species do evolve radically large or small body sizes over a few thousand generations, change their diet substantially, and some certainly become _less_ intelligent, there aren't any examples of an island species evolving significantly higher intelligence to occupy a new ecological niche.
I understand it'd be more important early on (as in "1990's"), but things like NFS abstracted away the underlying filesystem (at least where the machine that has the disk is alive). I mentioned the historical preservation aspect, and, following a comment, I'd say it belongs more under FUSE than inside the mainline kernel.

This has got to be sarcasm. How is it simpler to completely replace sexual reproduction than it is to find another chemical that makes plastic more flexible? Seems like a case of 0 knowledge of chemistry or biology.
Wow! What a coincidence! I literally have something extremely similar which I called `$e`. I think one crucial thing you did not mention is that this conforms to the signature of jsxFactory, meaning if you run some kind of transpiler that supports jsx, you can literally do:

(Mine has slightly more functionalities, such as allowing passing in styles as a object, auto concatenate array of strings for class names, etc.)

I think A.T. Great and Jobs were generally more _serious_ than the likes of Trump/Musk/Tate, though; those act like petulant children, and somehow their fans just eat it up.
The median for EU vs US salaries seems likely to be around the same, but the high end in the EU is completely neutered compared to the US. Even in top companies like e.g. Meta, the pay in the US is significantly higher.

I am missing something, right? His page does not have any fortune files. The links just point to docs. Is this just a page of links to manpages of fortunes?
It literally says: "Here you can find the fortune files from various operating systems." Thought that meant there would at least be links to the locations of the text databases.

I still use fortune on a lot of workstations. It usually takes the students a while before they even realize that when they login a short fortune was given (when they have to ssh into a box for example).
Eventually it'll start breaking builds and failing tests. Some code cleanup can be done as a last step before offloading it to another project that focuses on preserving software like this rather than providing a nice OS for usable computers.

While it does let you compare against US salaries, almost all EU countries use the Euro. Certainly all of the ones mentioned in this post do. If you're interested in just a raw number rather than a cost of living weighted number (which this post seems to ignore), converting any stragglers to Euro would have been simplest for European readers.

That said though, as I mentioned, I don't think Europeans are the target market for this.
Yea makes me wonder what data could be used to train this theoretical symbolic model that precedes the language model?

All I see in every thread is this meta complaint about seeing this genre of comments too often. I find that pretty annoying.

And yet, I don’t want to say my subjective experience is objective truth. Maybe I notice and remember the comments that annoy me? You see how that works?
I'm very, very sure that a machine which requires you to structure your thoughts and express them clearly will not lower the capacity for that in the general public. LLMs are extremely prone to garbage in, garbage out - if you can't be precise in structuring and expressing your thoughts, your results will be likewise questionable.

I certainly benefit greatly already from using LLMs to accomplish a number of tasks. I think the answer on where the responsibility lies depends greatly on your view of the same sorts of questions around auteur theory - is the director responsible for the quality of the film? Or is it the writer of the screenplay? What about the cast, or the producers? Is Microsoft the author if you write a novel in Word, without scribing the lines onto the page yourself? I think it's going to be very interesting to see how all of this plays out, and where the lines are drawn. I suspect that what is causing concern now will, in ten years perhaps, be normal, obvious and not even discussed.
Oh I can relate to this. Bought my mum an android phone when my daughter was born so I could share photos and do video calls.

It was such a hassle doing support over the phone (She lives in NZ and I was in Singapore, and now Taiwan)

Bought her an iPhone 12. Apple support helped her set it up over the phone. 2 years and I haven’t played IT guy once!
It doesn't really work with either metaphor. Somebody building the Golden Gate bridge or skyscraper knows that they're building it and has a clear picture of what it will look like once it's finished.

Software is more like a settlement. It may start out looking like a village and end of life looking like a village or it may catch a wave and end up looking like a megalopolis - perhaps a clean, well organized one like Singapore or a disastrously organized one with chronic traffic, corruption and crime like Lagos.

A lot of people out there think that they need to make space for a subway in their village coz it's Definitely Coming One Day while others don't have time to build a subway even while they suffer 7 hour long traffic jams.
