Of course if you want it web-based, you can no doubt run it easily in one if the several enscriptm/wasm compiled versions of DOSBox.
Most data work seems fundamentally worthless
That sounds like a case where some sort of iterator class would be best (or, in C, an iterator "class" made of a struct with associated functions). It could have helper methods for .next_column() etc., and you'd just have one overall loop.

That might make the code more complicated, overall, but that's the trade off of structured programming - occasionally there's more complexity but it's so exceptionally rare that it's still worth it overall. (Then again ... perhaps it would make the code arguably simpler anyway.)
Having read their profile, I usually already have something pretty much effortless to say, like "I googled up that that black gold finishing technique you mentioned and it's fascinating. I never even heard of that."

So if anything, they had to step up and entertain me fist, since they had to even have anything remotely interesting in their profile to talk about like that. And yes I did the same in mine.
Nitpicking - most of the people spend their lives with ~1-3e-10 of % of world's population, but it's not about statistical correctness.

If I'd say that 99% women aren't good for me, that'd be still technically true, but still something that'd be perceived in a negative way.

Is there malicious intent? Probably not, but I still think this statement is sexist against men due to generalization.
IDK in other countries but in Spain infrastructure is outsourced to a bunch of well known companies. There's engineering and budget oversight, and the state still has engineers and managers inhouse but they are basically "product owners" with very strict rules.

But in the end, 99,9% o the planning is done within such companies.
So relieved to see this comment at the top. After reading OPs second paragraph I was thinking oh, so by 'confusion' he actually means people with different opinions from him

Taken as a list of biases, the article is useful. It never hurts to be reminded about all the different ways we can be led astray. But the problem is, the list of 'mitigations' boils down to become an investigative journalist who researches _everything_ using multiple viewpoints from primary sources, surrounds themselves with people who disagree with them and engages them in lively dialogue, and remains open minded and neutral about everything until the end of time

Ain't nobody got time for that

We have a limited about of time and energy and need to decide where to spend it. Sometimes it might be more efficient to take received wisdom and run with it rather than launch a research project twenty times a day

Yeah "hey" might just be a single word but it carries a lot of meaning: it asks for "are you really interested in a conversation with me, then please reply with a 'hey' of your own". It also says "I have time now to have a conversation, and I do want to have it. Want to chat right now?". It provides a baseline from which one can base how quickly someone is responding, which can be used to judge interest from the other party.

My expectation when sending a "hey" is not a "yes, i want to marry", it's another low-effort "hi :)" or something like that. This has its meanings of its own, by providing answers to the two questions above. It says that she has ideally given your profile a second look and does indeed want to have a conversation with you, on that app.

Yes, after the "hey" I had people tell me that they don't like talking on the app but you should follow them on instagram (likely they won't respond to you there either), or offered me various paid services. Writing "hey" provides a great filter for me, too. And yes, I was actually able to start meaningful conversations after the first "hey" warm-up.

The problem on dating apps is that with many profiles, you cannot start any conversation specific to those profiles due to them not revealing anything about themselves in the profile. Even if a woman reveals a little bit about herself in the pictures or in the bio, she will probably receive whatever specific-to-her starter you can think of in 20 different variations. Yes, you were not the only one who saw the famous monument in the background that she's been to. Yes, you were not the only one to notice that she likes avocado toast. She is literally talking with dozens of other people who also only saw that monument picture and the avocado toast line.
No, it’s not concerning. Things change. Get over it.
So, kind of alert/notification fatigue.
No this is categorically wrong. There is science showing that LLMs build actual models around the subject it is learning.

It is akin to someone looking over the shoulder at your math homework and deriving understanding just from that.

This isn't a mistake. This is what the current science says.

What makes me curious is that chatGPT even has output that displays complete understanding and is so novel it is impossible for the output to be anything else other then actual understanding. Yet people are still running around downplaying it all.

The proof is right there. You can interact with chatGPT. The science is also there. Yet people just want to downplay it.

Perhaps it's fear of the future and what it means for humanity?
That one jumped out at me, too, but I was thinking the Apple IIc.

Agree. I've been researching data retention for many years and, except for Rosetta projects, there are no better user-friendly ways than using M-Discs for storing digital data. But there's a "but". You need a reader. If you don't, you need a microscope and deep knowledge of how data is stored on all OSI levels. From laser frequency to JPEG compression algorithms. In this case Rosetta analog microprinting wins.

Best Practices in Handling HTTP Errors in JavaScript
Errors are an everyday obstacle that all developers and clients face. A typical error is when applications or a particular function breaks due to its inability to handle the logic or parameters.

JavaScript errors are similar to those found in other languages, as they follow the same principles. Following best practices for error handling ensures that the components will not break when the application runs into an error.

This article covers some best practices in handling HTTP errors within a JavaScript application.

As I'm reading it, your setup is the exact opposite of that.
Looks like in those benchmarks Oxen.AI makes a misguided assumption that benchmarking DVC is (roughly...?) the same as benchmarking DVC<>DAGShub (server side made by a different company). To my understanding DAGShub is a bottleneck there. They didn't care to benchmark DVC against an S3 bucket or a similar cloud storage that is more widely used. I wonder if it's because DAGShub makes this whole setup wayyy slower

I don't understand how you mean that long text addresses the issues raised by me and others.

From what I can discern, he makes two counter arguments:

1. Sex is as important as income.

2. Poor income leads to "poor access" to sex. If the income distribution is unfair, so must the resulting sex distribution be.

To 1 I can only respond that many people feel differently. Anecdotally, I've never encountered anyone but well off men making the argument. Is that your experience also?

For 2: Poor income leads to many unfair situations. Let's cure the problem and not the symptom.

> Most of them were constantly flooded with contentless messages like that, which makes it very hard to get a meaningful conversation.

From my dating-app days, a lot of women profiles were also contentless: A few pretty pics, and a catchline they (more frequent than not) copied from somewhere else.

You couldn't really start a meaningful conversation, if you tried. After matching, "hey" or some BS comeback to their catchline is often the best you can do without coming out as unpleasantly inquisitive.
That is a good angle. Let me elaborate.

I am not so much talking about the correctness of the metric, but about the certainty that you will get it, if your results are good.

If there is no specific number someone can always say you performed bad one day before, for pretty much any reason (you did not care enough about the customer). This can destroy morale.

Instead, if the metric is quantifiable and easy to check on a dashboard there is no way to deny it. By the time the evaluation comes there is no manipulation possible.

Ask HN: Which college has the best undergrad CS curriculum and why?
I am not limiting my question to the USA only. And world rankings are not a great measure of education at the undergrad level. It is a measure of research output and number of faculties and many other things but not education. So please don't list rankings.

A final year CS undergrad upon graduation should possess the following skills:

1. Know how to program well in multiple languages (and paradigms)

2. Knows how to solve problems and implement them in code.

3. Can build a semi large project from the ground up by making design choices.

4. Know enough mathematics to learn more later on if needed for a particular domain.

5. Communicate well.

> Haskell

That can be done in Haskell with algebraic data types (with constructors without arguments), no?

Languages that have enums: Java, Kotlin, Dart, Ada, C (not in the first version), Pascal (not in the first version), Modula-2, Visual Basic,...

Pascal had subrange types since the first specification. For example "var month : 1..12;"

I don't know anything about Typescript but from what I have found it seems that Typescript's literal types are similar to Pascal's subrange types, i.e., the new type is compatible to the basic type it is derived from (unlike enums in the above languages, which are completely new types). But there is no runtime check.

So 20-30 year old men are too immature for women to be interested in them? But women of the same age aren't? So should we keep you'd men out of the work force and out of the general population because they're too immature to interact with more reasoned beings? Do you really think that?
Yes, if they have such information on their profile then it's a great way to start your first message. Which is a good start, I mean, a lot of women don't even think to identify themselves in pictures with their friends.

Though you then risk get an "ok" back because that wasn't "cool enough"

So you're free to do better then, the bots will appreciate it as well
> Niche technologies can leave you somewhat trapped in your current job ... and the people negotiating salaries and raises for employers will inevitably exploit this.

I don't think the relationship is that simplistic. On [StackOverflow Survey for 2022][0], the top salaries were for Clojure, Erlang, F#, LISP and Ruby. Elixir comes in 6th and Python comes in 25th. Choosing a niche technology may be a way to increase your salary and have more leverage because you will become a specialist on a niche (an increase of more than 40% when going from Python to Clojure by measure of average salaries).

Of course, it would be reductionist to say "learn Elixir and you will be paid more", but I also think it is inaccurate to say choosing a niche language is a certain trap. The best is to explore the companies, communities, and opportunities around you, especially in relation to which point you are in your career, instead of generalizing pros/cons as cheer-leading or blind optimism.

>It is not conscious or "sentient" but it certainly is able to build answers to queries that utilize true understanding of the query it was given.

What do you mean with "true understanding" here? Asking a computer to solve say, multiplication of large numbers, and it will provide the correct expected answer, with speed and and accuracy that outperform any human out there.

Should we say that such a calculator application "understand" arithmetic?

>I don't know why people are constantly downplaying the AI.

Maybe that’s in a balance with "everybody seeing the raise to conscious understanding of AI" each time a new credibly-human-like-output is generated?

Just like pareidolia: "yes there is obviously something that evokes a visage in that rock" doesn’t have to be interpreted as a sign that Nature loves to purposefully sculpt human faces.

From an evolutionary perspective, we see faces everywhere just like we see sign of understanding in surrounding agents because it makes our species more efficient in social cooperation, which to my mind is by a very large margin our best asset.

My boss has this, he is 35 and not fat at all. His father died from heart attack when he was young. Poor sleep (more like never enough), for some probably unrelated reason got much worse during covid. Always a bit tired, always subpar with physical workouts, but never as extreme as falling asleep when you don't want to. Mentally working on maybe 50%, but he is super smart so still plenty of room. He snored according to his exwife.

He went for tests, first time doctors thought machine was broken, his readings on apnea were off the charts. Second test confirmed it. Worst case they had seen, now has machine for sleeping and feels 100% better on everything. He believes his father had the same and its what killed him. Internal organs getting hammered over years, especially heart.

And yet were required by society to subscribe to the prevalent narrative as a mark of our loyalty/respectability within whatever group we operate.

And that requirement is getting more and more enforced by more and more groups as the old social contracts are collapsing as a consequence of global changes nobody feels in control of and a lot of people aren't ready to deal with.

And as blind group loyalty is fundamentally irrational it's no longer necessary or even desirable for the accepted narrative to conform to any kind of standard for logical coherence and accordance with the observed reality, as accepting it more about showing your commitment to the group/nation/party/movement then it is about it being true, or useful for guiding behavior and decisions.

This is where we get today's problem there simply is no tolerance for any grayzones where we dont know what is right and true where big interest are at play so we cannot really have a rational open search for the truth in those area. And once you accept this for the big ticket items it's hard to then require rationality in the areas where it might still be allowed societal pressures.

This doesn't make any sense. Why would you want the meaning of "some degree of knowledge" and "full functional literacy" to be close? What's misleading about describing exactly what you're talking about? Who cares how many people are literate in Arabic in this context? What you care about is how many people know enough about Arabic to know that you don't know anything about Arabic.

You seem to be demanding that "people who know enough medical terminology and/or Latin to see through your fictional doctor" be nearly the same class as "people who are doctors," and what's more, implying that's some sort of deception.
