I think AI can replace the "copy everything from Stack Overflow" type of developer but I doubt it is capable of replacing the competent developer. The currently popular form of AI is likely to hit a local maximum just like machine translation has where it is reasonably close most of the time on easy or intermediate problems but sometimes breaks in bizarre ways and doesn't work at all for the hard problems.

Since speeding up the work of incompetent developers by a factor of 100 is a good way to end up with an unmaintainable disaster that will break in bizarre ways that are very hard to fix, I think we probably are going to see complexity balloon way beyond human comprehension in every codebase foolish enough to use it. Just like those incompetent developers create more work for competent developers, AI will create more work for human developers.

I liked Windows 7 too but XP is something I will never forget. It literally felt like XP was decades ahead of 98SE when it came out. Loved it, even though I had to reinstall it weekly for neighbors and family members due to Blaster. The installation process is embedded in my brain along with FCKGW… :) What do you use XP for? And on what hardware? I’m envious now.
Quite the opposite.

I just asked ChatGPT to translate some code form Python to C++ for me, and it did just that (there were a few minor errors, but fixable).

I then asked for some advice how to improve some Python code. Initially it just summarized what the code is doing. Funnily enough, I forgot to copy-paste one function, but ChatGPT figured it out and created a version of it (which, I have to admit, was slightly better than mine). It then help me to refactor the code by using dataclasses and type annotations.

If someone claims we are heading for an AI winter, they did not experiment enough with ChatGPT yet.

FWIW, before Amazon started collecting taxes on 3rd party seller sales you could sort by total including tax when listing all seller options of a product.

The reason it makes more sense to do it for hotels is that many cities have 15+% or $$/night taxes. The highest rate is 20%.

Agreed. The style looks nice and idea clear. But the details make this look unsettling, like early versions of AI generated human faces, resulting in creepy output

The idea that oil and gas come from decaying organic matter is the prevailing theory in the west but some people including Thomas Gold had the idea that they come from the primordial material the earth is made of, and seep up to the crust.

"close to top end restaurant" is purely subjective, and meaningless. Sorry, but Chicago doesn't have the diversity, quality or quantity of restuarants that NYC has. Not even remotely close. Chicago has certainly come a long way from the days of meat & potatoes, but its no where in the same league as NYC. And the fact that its easy to get reservations only further underscores how non-competitive Chicago is in that regard.

Kim Stanley Robinson's Ministry for the Future (2020) rather revolves around this idea.

In general, I do think humanity is an amazing creature with amazing ability to imagine & consider & decide. But our attentions are not meant for long term thinking, over many years & decades. Being able to understand long-term risk, long term harm seems like something that requires more deliberate care & concern & advocation than what the world today can really muster & bear; the allure of pop-news & the seductiveness of event, of being part of the current news cycle steals away a lot of more real, more persisting, more enduring caring, distracts.

We need some way to recognize the irrevocable choices around us, those that send humanity down paths where there's no more ability to decide. I hear this idea in business a lot, and I'm forgetting the proper phrasing, but that idea of choices that, after being made, are hard to alter. Being a society that preserves liberal possibilities for humanity, that maintains freedom over time & doesn't think of liberty purely as a short-term thing, is part of what made humankind so interesting & capable a species. Long-term-ism is hard to maintain.

I find that write-up dubious.

> The fear, however, was that the bombs wouldn’t work if they stayed in the water too long. This is actually what happened with two of the bombs.

Seriously? The world's largest military hasn't developed explosive devices that are sufficiently waterproof?

> There were still active explosives on the sea bed as the pipes were leaking their gas, which explains why partially complicit Denmark and Sweden closed the whole area and denied all access, until they themselves had removed everything.

This is just silly, and ignores Occam's Razor in order to fit a fact into a pre-determined narrative.

Bubbles reduce the density of water, thus potentially reducing buoyancy (in research based around oil rigs and the like, it was found that a large enough leak pushed enough water upwards to compensate, but this wasn't a large leak). Aerated water is a known drowning hazard for workers in water treatment plants for this reason, now add enough gas into the ocean beneath a boat, see what happens.

The leakage of residual gas in the pipeline into the water column posed a maritime hazard but sure, it was to remove the faulty bombs, that's why. They could have at least had the decency to mention and then explain away the buoyancy issue, at least insult my intelligence to my face.
You're so deep you can't even if see how damaging your own rhetoric is.

There is. 15" laptops are the most popular size and what Apple sells in that size bracket is not cheap. It's a pretty gaping hole in their lineup really. A $1300 or $1400 15" MBA would probably sell very well, not because of weight and size but because it's a 15" screen for less than $2500. It makes more sense than the 13" MBP that's barely distinguishable from the MBA.
Maybe unit tests are at the wrong abstraction level to test for state-dependent bugs.
Worth noting you can VPN to other countries and get super cheap rates ($2 month). You don't have to stay on the VPN to retain the rate.
Very cool. One of the things I would love to be able to do is to track all file reads and writes that traverse a network connection. You can kind of do this using a combination of fs_usage/iftop/lsof in the moment but it's rough. Can Sloth or something like little snitch do it?

Sometimes I'll see my network spike via menumeters but I have no idea what caused it. Was it Google drive syncing something? Something else? What files were accessed?
>Would you claim the same for homelessness?

Lots of money is invested into homelessness, but the problem of homelessness in America isn't money, it's incentives.

Home equity represents a large chunk of retirement savings for boomers and is largely an investment vehicle for many funds. This means two things:

1. The prices of homes are designed to go up every year; money "invested" into your home must grow.

2. Any action (new homes, legislation, etc) designed to decrease the cost of homes will be actively fought.

As the cost of homes continues to balloon, more and more people will be priced out of home. As landlords need to cover larger and larger mortgages rents will also increase. The trend is already starting; the people you see on the street are those that would have been living in cheap neighborhoods that you would avoid driving in at night (those neighborhoods were gentrified and the people who were priced out and didn't have any family were put on a greyhound to SF/LA).

My theory is that we will get AGI before we blow up the real estate investment market.
It sets down the rules for which civil aviation (including unmanned free balloons) follow. You could argue that "a balloon launched in Illinois and found in Alaska is within the US"... but it transited other countries airspace (there is no way for a balloon from Illinois to get to northern Alaska except the long way around) and should have been following the rules there.

And so, the question that I'll ask - "did the people launching balloon obtain permission to launch from the United States and prior permission for countries that it passed over?"

This isn't exclusively a weather balloon - which has a different carve out for permissions.

But it is an aircraft that traveled internationally and through the airspace of multiple different countries.

The value of an unusable pipeline is zero. Worse than zero, if you have to maintain it.

Gazprom wasn’t fully sanctioned at the time, and seized assets can be returned later. Penalties would eat into that.

And again, sowing discord by accusing someone else probably is worth something.

But I don't see this being presented as a way to break in. I'd presented as a way to be sneaky about listening for commands once you're already in.

The "airtight hatchway" series is about things being presented as ways to break in, when they actually require you to already be in.
I'd say not equally. The pytest one is basically "we get that your use case might be a little off our beaten path, and we want to allow you to be successful, but we aren't prepared to take on the support burden of it".

The minitest thing is "if you don't do things how we envision with our limited perspective, you are bad at programming".
Here's a Doepfer ribbon controller that uses a USB cable: https://doepfer.de/a198.htm

It's purely an analog device. Presumably they used USB because the cables are cheap, shielded, and have enough conductors for what they needed. (Probably ground plus signal wires for two linear pots and a pressure sensor.)

I hope they designed it so it doesn't fry something if you connect it to a real usb device, but I'm not inclined to try it.

> To me unsafe generally means “memory safety or type safety is disabled”.

And that is exactly what it means. Unsafe functions in Haskell do run in production. They just subvert type safety (and I believe memory safety too, in the case of accursedUnutterablePerformIO).

A lot of businesses actually do hedge their inputs, this is not a crazy idea I've just come up with. For some industries it's de rigeur (jewelers typically hedge even the value of their inventory and WIP), in others it seems to be a matter of preference (jet fuel for airlines). That's perhaps the single biggest justifying reason for the existence of commodity futures in the first place -- because producers and consumers want to reduce price risk. Agreeing on a fixed future price achieves that goal for both parties. Why would either the producer or the consumer need to pay anything to reach such an agreement? Why would it reduce expectation profits for either party? The futures markets simply provide a low-friction venue.
There is a lot missing from this account such as:
The US promising not to expand NATO beyond Germany.

The Ruble is strong and Russia's GDP will grow more than the UK this year.

I'm not suggesting this as something to protect the wife. The op created a new account for not wanting this to be connected to his "real" HN account. What I was suggesting had nothing to do with retaliation from evilCorp, but more along the lines of rational decision making for OpSec. There is so much data about us out there that has been collected, that the slightest misstep allows for anon accounts to become doxxed. Again, not for what could happen to the wife, but by using the named corp along with the approximate due date of the wife having just been terminated is pretty strong clues into naming the OP (again not concerned with the wife's info at all for this). Knowing the name of the OP would probably only be a few steps from knowing the actual HN username even if it was another anon account.

It’s worrying though. It’s part of the social contract, and I worry about vigilantism rising if cops not doing anything about the majority of crime that affects most normal people is ignored, and that gets worse.

I think that’s the only reason this exists, as a side effect of Focus modes. I can’t see Apple adding it purposefully otherwise.
Sorry but this is basically worthless until there's a MUCH easier and more visible way to add websites to your home screen.

In a perfect world you could submit your PWA-based site to the App Store where it would appear alongside native apps and be discoverable in search results etc.

But that'll never happen because Apple has way too much to lose from allowing developers to create genuinely cross-platform solutions. They need developers to be absolutely married to their ecosystem so that the users will be too.

I agree with calling out esbuild as a great, minimal, stable tool.

I recently had the chance to start a small greenfield project. As we have a lot of "tribal knowledge" of Vue I decided to keep it, but go with a "minimum viable tooling" approach. This means esbuild with no plugins, .tsx instead of .vue files (because esbuild natively supports TSX), no hot module reloading (just esbuild's simple refresh-the-page-on-build), and absolutely no CSS-in-JS, just a single style.css using BEM conventions.

The same approach would probably work with any other frontend framework that can use JSX or plain JS files, even if you do run it through esbuild before it gets to the browser.

In my experience, most of the complexity that creeps into JS projects is fancy build tools. Using fewer, better tools which focus on standards-compliant content is the way forward.
They're 'better' in tone, but for many videos the comments come across as very sycophantic which is a bit tiresome. That's not always the case though, so probably depends to some extent on the channel's community.

First of all, thank you for the work you have done on this, I love lit, use it all the time at work.

One thing I struggle with from time to time is that if I have a web component created in lit, and somewhere inside I have a dependency that has some CSS, that CSS doesn’t seem to work when the web component is consumed by JS.

The only workaround I found was to override the behaviour and instead of returning a shadow dom, return the component on its own, but that has its own downsides.
I've seen that happen when it hit -1 (C). The sensor was an 8 bit unsigned counter so it rolled over... and the BMC thought it was on fire.
Today's magic hydrogen story!

Please stop building cheap renewable alternative energy! Keep using fossil fuels while we wait for the hydrogen breakthrough that hasn't happened in the past 20 years but is right around the corner!

Enjoy FUD and lies from pro hydrogen lobbies and startups! Listen to mendacious exaggerations of solar panel / battery / fiberglass disposal/ bird deaths!

Listen to dismissal of fundamental entropy laws, cherry picked stats, and lies about grey and green hydrogen.

Watch handwaving over infrastructure, transportation storage and refuelling station engineering and costs.

Anyway, have we ever hit a hydrogen vein in centuries of fossil fuels exploration? Or will oil and gas just say that the methane they are extracting is hydrogen?
This is pretty much correct. For reference, here’s the original documentation (changed in commit 80ff4a3018cd8909abb1d4e0c32f012a523883ec):

Yes and yes. He is fleeing actual prosecution on criminal charges by the South Koreans.

He has even been served a subpoena by the SEC while in the US before. He was forced to sit down and respond to questions. He sued them about it because the SEC is supposedly not meant to serve you in public, but I suspect he was a pretty tricky guy to serve at all. Early enforcement would have been good, and it maybe would have required a bit of force given what we know about his flight risk.

There are multiple possible reasons for why Washington hasn't put forward an alternative explanation. Maybe they really don't know. Or maybe they do know but can't publicly reveal it in order to protect intelligence sources and methods. Or maybe they did do it, but using a different technique than Hersh alleged. Or maybe they intentionally leaked a false story to Hersh to muddy the waters.
I'm kinda worried about the other half. What can we do to wake them up from their hypnosis?
The question certainly has "the sound of one hand clapping" vibes. Nevertheless, that doesn't preclude at least attempting to answer it.

For my job, software engineering, the job is essentially creating things that must adhere to the strict laws of software physics. Most often, someone (read: a product manager) comes to me with something they want to exist. I need to distill what I know about the system and it's internal mechanics to map the idea to a possible reality, then ship it.

What's the opposite of that? Maybe no concrete constraints, no creative problem solving, no creation of new stuff at all. Also, not working on a computer.

Given my job is 50/50 on teamwork and solo-work, I'm not sure what the opposite is there. Maybe I could say the teamwork is on coordination and the solo is on delivery; so the opposite may be solo coordination and interfacing on delivery.

So, my opposite profession is a door-to-door salesman? /shrug/
