Just treat her as a human being, there's no reason whatsoever to bring up gender here.

I can assure you, as a guy who enjoys many traditionally feminine activities: when you're doing something contrary to gender norms and people constantly bring that up, even in a positive way, it feels extremely limiting and frustrating.

Just let people enjoy stuff, especially when the result is awesome and fascinating articles like this.
I'd argue Swift has replaced Objective-C, for new code. Or will soon. If Carbon does the same vis-a-vis C++, I'd say they've succeeded in "replacing C++".
This. us-east-1 is the oldest region IIRC and it has its share of issues. Back when I used to work mostly on AWS zonal outages used to happen once in a while, but entire regions were rare, forget global outages.

The global outage thing seems to be a consistent "feature" of GCP - how are we supposed to architect our deployments if the regional isolation model is not a bulwark against high availability on GCP?
This brings me back 20 years ago when I first saw markov chains on an IRC bot that would reply to you as well. I was so amazed that even very rarely it could generate valid-ish combinations, of course we are the ones that would interpret it or have to twist it in so many different ways to "make sense of it". But little by little the nonesense wore out and the bot was just understood as a garbage generator, that you would read now and then when you were bored and had really nothing to do but to talk to a bot and see if any of the strings made valid sense, just for fun see when it would generate something that, to one human being, could be a valid point in a big context, literally throwing words in the air and trying to make sense of the resulting sentence as some sort of philosophical game. At least back then it was just 10 or 15 words per generated garbage batch.

The other thing this reminds me of is the book "Children of Memory", funnily enough I was listening to it when the chatgpt craze started, there's two characters that crack me up, two corvids, no spoilers, but they live in pairs and have access to quotes from earth bibliography and live in a distant future in an alien planet, one would quote things such as "my kingdom for a horse", and the other would reply "but you don't know what it means! what even is a horse... We lost that data to make space for something more relevant to our times" and they would hold this discussions about meaning, they really cracked me up and to me chatgpt is one of the corvids, I hope the other corvids arrive soon and we can get some popcorn at the level of nonesense feedbackless garbage discussions, sort of like that beautiful tale of the seven blind men that want to learn what an elephant is like, each touches a different parts of the elephant and hold discussions about how their contextual interaction is the one truth, one talks about the tail, another the husks, another the trump, another the leg and so on...

One example given, was if the version “with AI” does not perform better than a previous version “without AI”.

So a precise definition of AI isn’t needed. Just that you cannot make misleading claims about your product behind the buzzword of AI.
But....cost.
Part of the issue here is most people do not know how to actually attack a problem together in a non personal way. What I've noticed is one of the following issues:

Can't accept cristicism of their solution. Too much ego.

Don't really care about finding the best solution.

Can't communicate well enough to discuss the problem at hand in the moment.

Don't have enough domain knowledge to add meaningful feedback.

In essence, a lot of features are built by the lone developer. The only saving grace is the process, breaking up the a task into smaller chunks and code review.

This part just blew my mind.

The Serious Possibility of Recession Has Already Happened
Does not fit my experience. Best software I've seen was always single good developer. Plenty of great single-person open source software out there to prove it.

The problem is - good devs are actually very rare. A single not so good developer doesn't get any feedback, yet they have all the clarity and context in what their code is doing, so they can take their terrible code quite far.
Non-issue for me. I buy only used Corollas, Civics, Accords, and Camrys.

They last forever. My last car was a Corolla and lasted me 17 years. I bought it for $4500, it comes out to about $20 per month when amortized. Never had a problem with it - no major repairs. It also looked very stylish and great during that time.

I just purchased a used Civic about 5 years ago for $5,500 and I expect it to last another 15 years.

I'm in the middle of The Perfectionists right now -just put it down on the nightstand to browse HN before bed and thought I recognized the name of this aritcle's author. It's a fascinating book and I'm shocked to see the wide variety of topics that Mr. Winchester can write about with authority and understanding. Certainly makes me want to read his other books.
Weirdly, people don't have as many friends as they used to. That's why TikTok beat Facebook. Facebook is useless if you don't have a friend-graph IRL, like a telephone system with only one telephone. I think the future of social is going to be 1-on-1 interactions, everything else just becomes rep-farming, crowd-pleasing, performance art, trolling, etc.

Who even uses 3D spaces besides gaming? User-generated content is usually terrible, like Mario-maker -- most user-gen levels aren't any fun.

Anyway, go play SecondLife for awhile before you spend too many more cycles thinking about this.
Couldn't agree more, he's a fantastic author. The Perfectionists is a wonderful exposition into how the modern world was made.
This is completely sensible.

It’s just saying the key criteria to evaluate is not whether the software is called AI or not. But what the software actually does.

Isn’t that just common sense?
> An interesting illustration of this is the way in which the English flower names which were in use till very recently are being ousted by Greek ones, snapdragon becoming antirrhinum, forget-me-not becoming myosotis, etc. It is hard to see any practical reason for this change of fashion: it is probably due to an instinctive turning-away from the more homely word and a vague feeling that the Greek word is scientific.

Forbidding employees from listing their role on LinkedIn would put them at a major disadvantage in job searching and recruiting.

Forcing employees to hide their role is unreasonable. The company doesn’t own the employee.
The General Theory of Relativity: Its Faulty Mathematical Foundations
Thanks for the link. That does seem to be a more thorough analysis than the one in Scientific American, although the latter was good at linking through to the actual studies, so you didn't have to trust the writer or editor of the article.

The RAND analysis doesn't appear to be as equivocal as you suggest though. It says that there are 3 types of laws which have the strongest level of scientific support for their success, but other laws have weaker support, which doesn't mean they aren't effective. Let me highlight two quotes:

"Importantly, however, where we conclude that evidence for a policy is weak, that does not mean that the policy is ineffective; the policy itself might well be quite effective."

"Still, even relatively small effects of gun policies are important to the people and communities affected."

So while it's possible that there are a lot of ineffective laws being proposed, that's far from being evidence that no laws are effective, and it might even be evidence that the problem lies with the Constitution itself (which is another type of law which could be changed).

I wonder, though, what it would take for me to convince you of anything, since you could just dismiss all scientific research as "coming from academia" and therefore tainted by political views that you don't like. Perhaps if the gun lobby commissioned their own researchers to produce a report, you would find that sufficiently neutral, but I won't go looking for such a report.

One area where we might agree, though, is in disapproving of immature ad hominem arguments, so perhaps we just need to make sure that we're both extending that disapproval to mature ad hominem arguments as well. ;-)
I took a closer look. As you suggested, LEA reg1,reg2 will simply run the micro-instruction "IND→N RNI" without doing any effective address calculation first. Whatever address is in the IND (Indirect) register will be written to the register specified in the reg field.

As for JMP FAR rm with a register, what I seen in the microdcode doesn't quite match the linked discussion. The microcode is

IND → tmpC INC2 tmpC JMP FAR rm
Σ → IND SUSP
tmpB → PC R DS,P0
OPR → CS FLUSH RNI

So it will add 2 to the hidden IND register, read the segment value from that address, and put that in the CS register. Meanwhile, the PC gets the value from the hidden ALU temporary B register.

As for the mystery FF FF instruction, I think it jumps into "PUSH rm" and ends up pushing DI.

SP → tmpA DEC2 tmpA PUSH rm
Σ → IND
Σ → SP
M → OPR W SS,P0 RNI
Then they ruin your credit score.
Was that a supercharger or L2 AC?

If a supercharger the car needs to do a way better job letting you know the charge after 80% is far, far slower and just not worth it. You'd be way better off doing 2 different charge sessions, both from deeper state of discharge. Your total time would have been less than half. If you're on a multi-stop trip with Tesla's charge curve you're actually better off stopping around 50-60% and heading off to the next charger.

I have road tripped my tesla 1000s of km and only once have I ever stayed at a supercharger more than 30 minutes. That was -15C in a snowstorm with a large gap to the next charger and I have the small battery model 3. On 8-9 hour drives I only add about 40 minutes of total charging time. When combined with the necessary bathroom and food breaks the car is pretty much always ready before I am.

If it was L2, then the rule is ABC, always be charging. Sometimes you can't avoid hanging around since L2 isn't that fast, but most of the time you should practice pro-active charging and just grab a little juice any time you get the chance. That's harder when you don't have driveway charging, but it's going to get easier and easier as more infrastructure gets built out.

All this information needs to be far better presented to drivers, especially ones new to EVs. Gas pumps don't get slower the closer to full you are whereas battery charging varies greatly based on state of charge. There is a learning curve and manufacturers are not doing enough to teach their owners (likely for fear of scaring them away)
This is intriguing. Do you happen to have a blog post or similar documentation about your process?
Can’t tell how bad this is. I tried this site for these tickets and:

1. It’s pretty clear that the price per ticket is times the number of tickets, so I wouldn’t confuse a small amount per ticket for the TOTAL amount (it says $900 x 4 for four tickets), but

2. On the other hand, it would be better if it showed $3,600 for four tickets rather than “$900 x 4”, further

3. It doesn’t show fees, which seem to be substantial.

So yeah I don’t think I or my peers would have gotten caught in this trap, but also the ticket seller could/should have done better. But for the majority of the population of internet users, the surprise would have been at the extra $1k in fees and not the 4x ticket cost, so perhaps there’s an argument to be made that very old people should be restricted from using the internet (and our highways, roadways, etc. while we’re on the subject).
Pair programming is designed to level up someone while bring down the other

Wow, that is not what pair programming is "designed to do" at all. I never felt like pair programming brought me down. One of the best ways to learn something is to try and explain it to others. I am not talking about pair programming where one person just types like a robot and another one explains what to do. I'm referring to the situation where two people work on a problem that one of them is having. I think both participants benefit. In explaining the problem you have, you learn. In offering possible solutions, especially ones that don't work, you also learn. When you solve it together, you build teamwork. I really don't see any downsides. Especially with remote work, it's a great way to share knowledge and build rapport with your team mates. What real project is specified to the point where all programmers are interchangeable and can work separately without EVER talking to each other?

It would be helpful to understand what food and drink contains artificial erythritol: it is naturally present in some foods. The article impies the relative % is vastly different when it's used as a sugar replacement.
Ask HN: Why are big companies laying off employees?
The author could have disputed the charges. That doesn't lead to card cancellation. It leads to you getting your money back.

The author could also have CC'd the the various consumer protection services of Massachusetts.

He's either clueless about how banking works -- you can dispute bad deals, which is one of its best selling points relative to crypto -- or he actually thought $5K was an acceptable price to see James Taylor.
I think you should probably poll some current and former DB employees on this one.
sorry, yes, i didn't realize you were talking about updates to games. yes, valve can only fix it with a patch to proton, but they can also encourage developers to test their games with proton.

holding games back because of proton bug is not acceptable (yet), although from the players side it would of course be nice to choose an older version if the new version fails to run.

there is a very real psychological phenomenon where when software breaks on Windows, it is the software's fault, and when software breaks on Linux, it is Linux's fault

of course, that is unfortunately going to remain a problem for some time to come.
Screenshot? Beats comparing your and his descriptions.
Oh boy, so now the promising erythritol is also under suspicion. A while ago I read about its benefits for dental health, which seemed to exceed xylitol's, so I even bought a bag (which also included the stevia-class sweetener Reb M).

I've read 2022 studies on various non-sugar sweeteners, and statistically, sucralose seems to have a slight advantage over aspartame and acesulfame-k in regards to cancer risk correlation.[1] Whereas aspartame and stevia didn't significantly impair glycemic response / glucose tolerance over a 2-week trial, but sucralose and saccharin did.[2] So each sweetener probably has different downsides. In the end, I think they seem safe enough to have occasionally in place of sugar, though I wouldn't go wild with them.

(It's also interesting that this new study comes from Stanley Hazen's lab. He's also published research about the potential cardiovascular risk impact of choline through its metabolite TMAO.)

> Maybe if I told the hospital I didn't have insurance they would have let me pay in cash too, but probably not

11 years ago I had a minor fracture on shoulder from a fall. Ironically it was during a 12 week period where I opted out of offered COBRA coverage between gigs (Mainly due to the fact that the COBRA was nearly $800/mo and I’m a cheap bastard) Went to ER, explained that I didn’t have insurance but could pay cash. Also because I was curious I asked what my charge would have been if had I had the COBRA. Cash price was roughly $1300. With COBRA the charge would have been $2400 for the 3 months of coverage, plus another $1000 for the ER visit, but the insurance would have paid another $4K to the ER if I remember correctly. Those numbers aren’t precise, but they are in the ballpark at least relative to each other.

No doubt I hit a sweet spot and if I was injured to a greater degree…COBRA would have won the economic toss, but for my one incident where I could test cash price medical care, cash price worked out.

I had "Danny Dunn and the Homework Machine" as a child. I don't think it had a direct influence on my career in AI, but when I had a college job as a computer help desk consultant, I would keep it on my desk, and when a student would ask "This is a really strange question, but ..." and I had heard the same thing multiple times before, I would respond "Hmm, let me consult a reference manual", flip through "Danny" for a bit, and then give the answer that I already knew.
If there's a UI, or even a CLI, that properly matches the conceptual model of development with git, I'm not aware of it. I'm sure there's a much clearer user-centric model of work struggling to get out from underneath the implementation details. Over the years of working with git I've gradually learned bits of the plumbing underneath the porcelain, but reluctantly.
The Alexa app is great for having books read aloud. But many dyslexic readers don't want TTS — they want to read visually. And the app does have some accessibility settings (or rather, usability settings that are particularly helpful for dyslexic readers).

But there are many other types of assistive technologies out there, including some that are life-changing for all kinds of readers with disabilities. By making the platform inaccessible to browser extension, Amazon has created a situation where their in-house accessibility options are the only ones that can be used. For someone who has accumulated a library over a long period of time, on the understanding that the KCR supports browser extensions, it's pretty lousy to have the rug pulled out with no recourse.
+1 for this.

This website almost succeed every time I run out of my tricks, like:

1) ESC to interrupt the page load
2) quickly hit "view mode" before the wall appears
3) add a "." behind the .com, so like .com./
4) visit in incognito window when the tokens run out (e.g. Medium)
5) Check Google cache of this page, (you can quickly add cache: URL to visit the cache page)
6) Check archive.org cache of some lost pages
7) maybe some extensions but I seldom use them nowadays
8) before, there are some cool sites like, sorry I forgot the names, all stopped working, those websites can remove paypall

9) console tricks though I dunno.

I’ve recently joined a team where the vast majority of the code used across different projects has been written by a lone developer. The code quality is quite good, however, nothing is documented thoroughly and it’s mostly understood by a single person.

We’ve started to code review all new code being merged to the the codebase, we’ve been pair programming occasionally, and I’ve also been writing documentation about how to use the code as I get a handle on it. It’s been helpful so far.

Please document your code. Please provide examples.
