This was exactly my thought. Right now we are in the early stages of awesomeness. Similar to the early days of Google, with Google News and Images and without all the abuse and spammers.

Once the politicians see it as a threat because of its perceived bias, or the content creators see that their copyright is infringed, or the scammers see that it can be used to scam people, or the spammers overwhelm the API, or or or.... Then the fun is going to be over.

But maybe not. Maybe it'll be fine. One can only hope.

> Also, another fun fact: in spite of being written in old school C, PostgreSQL uses automatic memory management in most of its code by using "memory contexts" and users rarely experience leaks.

This seems more like arenas than garbage collection. Arenas are used fairly extensively in high performance C and C++ code (for example in games).

The thing is, attempts to measure the effect of test prep show they have little effect. According to these studies, SAT test prep courses might add ~30 points to your score:

Most of it seems to be pricing things more cheaply for tourists than for residents (Interail is not available in the EU country you are resident in.) And Eurail seems to be even cheaper than Interail:

Interail 7 days within one month adult 2nd class €352

Eurail 7 days within one month adult 2nd class $282 (€265)

I considered buying an Eurail ticket last time I went back to Britain though for my trips it made little difference to the total cost after factoring in the supplements for intercity trains as I was travelling off peak anyway.

You're missing the point. The transition from legal slavery to illegal slavery was not a smooth one. Consensus did not magically arise. People did not simply relent to legal authorities. There was a massively bloody Civil War fought over it. Regardless of what you think about how "One day we will look back" (and note how Confederate pride is still a thing today), you can't expect this to be like an ordinary legal issue. The transition is extremely divisive, and there will be resistance. Nobody could be neutral during the Civil War, and it's going to be difficult for corporations to remain neutral now, when they want pro-choice people to use their services. Abortion is legal in the headquarter state of the big tech companies, and those companies employ many pro-choice workers.

It does have its niches though. For example, there is a trait solver for Rust called Chalk that uses a Prolog-inspired language because trait bounds basically define a logic:

Technically it was illegal the whole time in many places and the supreme court only last year recognized that they never had the power to prevent states from enforcing their own laws on the matter.

In states where it was illegal it may not even be ex-post-facto for them to prosecute for events that took place prior to last year's supreme court ruling.

Anyway, the real takeaway should be that businesses should not be collecting this kind of data in the first place. If they don't collect it, then they have nothing to turn over.

Capital flight will decrease (in the medium term, like by the end of the decade) as US Dollar dominance diminishes. Oil trades between China-Russia-India are now denominated in Rupee-Rubles or Renminbi-Rubles starting only this past year, and so the groundwork is already laid.
I would disagree. Public transportation isn't cheap either if you're not a student or have a company sponsor, in some cases even more expensive than having a car.

There’s a subgenre of traditional roguelikes known as “coffee break roguelikes”. These games are specifically designed to be highly compressed experiences without sacrificing the characteristic difficulty of the genre. They happen to be a perfect fit for this sort of daily game. I’m not aware of any that actually do this though!

The roguelite Spelunky HD has a daily seed with a leaderboard. That game can be finished in 10-15 minutes (if you’re really good)!
This is only true if you equate "self" with "body", which is a fairly narrow assertion that breaks down quickly when confronted with the complex reality of human experience (e.g. dissociation [0]).

Are you suggesting that dissociation involves something outside the body?

Because otherwise what happens --and it's clear in the [0] link you provide-- is that a part of the brain struggle to connect with the rest. That doesn't mean that there is more than one you, but that you suffer a condition that fragments your brain work.

That happens in serious mental illness, also in altered states, see "K-Hole" induced by ketamine. But it's more of "you" disconnected from the perception.

If you take a moment to review the whole thread, not just the immediate comment above the one you're responding to, you'll see that it was started with a mention to subconscious as described by Freud in his early works. The objection to that has been that it's not a concept that's commonly accepted now in that precise form, because it suggests that there is another personality inside your mind, similarly structured as the main consciousness.

The first comment says that the "subsconscious ask the conscious self", or something like that, that implies a rational actor following a strategy to confront the ego, a different structure.

We still know little of the brain working, but it seems to be a massively parallel computing process, with the perception being the glue that composes our reality and keeping us "sane" and focused.
I'm thinking a lot of this happens at work where Thrift code generated data structure conversion adapters are commonplace, e.g., from A into B with many fields. Personally, I think it's the wrong approach and should expose functions that present data as-needed without materializing it wholesale as a different struct because that's expensive, greedy evaluation.

It’s telling we’re seeing testing attacked while these are preserved.
> There are often city passes of various sorts for tourists.

Absolutely, but they are usually more expensive than it is for residents. In Vienna the tourist 7 day pass is ~17Euro which comes to 2.5 Euro, if you have the yearly subscription it's 1 Euro per day. The situation is quite similar in most cities I have been to.
Show HN: I made a chatbot that debugs your code better than ChatGPT
I built this using semantic search and the ChatGPT API, which was just released the other day. What makes it special is it not only understands the code you're debugging, but also pulls in additional context like relevant documentation to help answer your questions and suggest code changes. Ultimately, my goal is to take the hassle out of pasting error messages into Google, finding a vaguely related StackOverflow post, and manually integrating the solution into your code.
It’s interesting to see the parallels in access to electricity - it’s now rather common in NYC to see people charging things on LinkNYC kiosks.

Those too are a public good but operated by a private company (Intersection), with the attendant conflicts of interest.

Interestingly they were introduced after the city Payphone contract expired - reminding me that phone access has almost totally been privatized at this point.

> Also, one at the time controversial decision which worked really well in hindsight was that D3D was an entirely new API in each new major version, which allowed to leave historical baggage behind quickly and keep the API clean (while still supporting those 'frozen' old D3D versions in new Windows versions).

This is interesting. I have always wondered if that is a viable approach to API evolution, so it is good to know that it worked for MS. We will probably add a (possibly public) REST API to a service at work in the near future, and versioning / evolution is certainly going to be an issue there. Thanks!
System Info

I want to open up a webpage and see, for my local device:

- CPU (core count, manufacturer)

- Memory

- GPU present

- Disk size, free space

- IP4 and IP6 addresses

- Ping to different countries main providers

- My geolocation and altitude

- A pin point of that on an embedded (free, ideally SVG, global) map that doesn't need to specify layers/metadata/cities/countries just show me the projection of lat long onto the globe of the earth and the contours of continents

- My current velocity

- Any sites I'm logged in to or identified by

- My browser version and known exploits against it

- My OS version and known exploits against it

- Connection speed ( link capacity, actual up and down, and rates per second )

- Screen dimensions and capabilities

- Output of any other accessible sensors: gyro, bluetooth, wifi, whatever

I created as much of this as I could lazily so far at https://mycapabilities.me (github pages is borking HTTPS for me tho)
They're not destroying it but forcing them to acknowledge the truth about climate.
I think most people who have used a BBT or anything similar know that the main thing you are really paying for is the data subscriptions. While an open source solution would be amazing there is no incentive for anyone to provide you with real time data. Without the vast number of resources that an actual BBT can pull in you just have a charting software with a Twitter feed. At the end of the day the yearly cost of a BBT is surprisingly justifiable if you have the need for real time data for some use case like quick arbitrage trades. However, most people who would want to use this probably want to day trade and chase the market which is an awful idea and will likely lead them to spending more money on data and psychiatrists than they would have ever made on the market.
I wish you could come across the graves or dead bodies of other players where they died and perhaps loot items or something.

> I don't think I'm the smartest guy in the room, but I have a lot of experience, and am a dedicated and driven engineer.

Experience and hunger are more valuable than raw intellect. (An unmotivated, inexperienced super genius honestly sounds like an exhausting employee.)

Additionally, the person claiming to be the smartest in the room usually is not.

> made far fewer mistakes than I did

Mistakes are opportunities to learn, so if you made more mistakes, you had more opportunities to learn.

Focus less on what you perceive as shortcomings when compared to others and focus more on your strengths.

I guarantee you bring value to the company that the 30-something principal engineer does not, and it isn’t a matter of cost.

40 is 39 + 1. Don’t let it be more than that.
In my country at least, having friends or family with a foot in the door is pretty essential to landing that first interview. You still need to demonstrate competence, though.

I think the newness of software engineering relative to more traditional professions like medicine, law, and even other kinds of engineering is a large part of the reason why gatekeeping is less of a barrier. Given enough time, though, I'm sure this will change for the worse.
> Do repairable problems generally appear obvious under inspection?

It is the other way around. If you can’t diagnose it how could the problem be repairable?
I finished high school with a 2.2 GPA and my SAT score was 1380. I was a terrible student, and I hated being in school, but somehow I did really well on the standardized test. That got me into the community college.

Standardized tests equalize things. It's everything else that should be banned, because all of those steaks get manipulated.
> Technically it was illegal the whole time in many places and the supreme court only last year recognized that they never had the power to prevent states from enforcing their own laws on the matter.

I don't agree with this "technical" interpretation at all. Nobody would have said in 2020 that technically abortion is illegal in many places. Just because the Supreme Court changed its mind doesn't wipe everyone else's minds.
Cryptography Without Security
All of this debate about what measures should be used to gatekeep higher education ignore that the US system is only loosely about teaching students; the goal of an American university degree is class differentiation.

There is not a shortage of textbooks or qualified teachers who could explain calculus or history or economics. As a society, the could easily produce far more educated people (and for a lower cost), but that is not the goal of a degree. The diploma -- especially from an elite school like Columbia -- first and foremost is a signifier that you deserve entrance into an upper middle managerial class. Unless the goals of higher education are teaching (or god forbid actual job training), the entrance requirements will always be arbitrary enough that class lines can be sufficiently preserved.

But rest assured, the pressure will take hold at some point.

Which is why I'm even more surprised that it ended up like this.
davinci has been pretty good about using APIs that I've shown it, I can certainly see it hallucinating parameters but I also misremember interfaces. It seems that you could easily solve that a number of ways e.g. analysis, tests, submitting the code along with the spec and a prompt that asks for bug checking with the temperature set to 0.

Just because you can't one shot a perfect completion every time with 0 engineering investment doesn't mean you can't use this technology to build some cool things.
You seem to be saying that "better schools" (mostly) don't actually select or train better students, but (mostly) merely train them to pass standardized tests better. Is there any evidence or reason to believe this?

That is SAT test prep courses specifically though. Not going in completely cold versus having prepped for the test. I mean, if I took the SAT today many years on, I'm sure I wouldn't do very well--at least on the math section. There's too much that isn't muscle memory any longer because I haven't done a lot of the high school math stuff in years.
It’s a fantastic step forward, making commuting with public transport much more affordable for many. But another nice thing about the 9€ ticket was that it got rid of all other tickets for occasional users, too. If you’re using public transport just a few times each month, 49€ is too high, and you will still have to deal with 4x tickets short tickets, AB/BC/ABC zones, day tickets and whatnot. Which is unfortunate, as that’s annoying, and they have to keep the complicated ticket vending infrastructure in place as well.
So from this definition, Richard Stallman is woke.
Because his views on sexuality are the ones that are unusual, and when the debate arose, the people criticizing Stallman were denounced as morally bad people for "being against freedom of speech", when this view (saying that everyone who debate is a bad person because they cannot disagree because freedom of speech) wasn't the good thing we thought it meant in the first place.

I think it's the trick with the "woke" definition: people who think it's a good definition always end up given a definition which describe them very well or describe the group that they are claiming is the victim of the big bad wokes.

The best definition that exists is "woke are people that defend a view point I don't like. I'm using the same strategy as them to defend my own view point, but because I like my views, I think my views are reasonable, and because I don't like their views, I think their views are unreasonable"

Another case of moving the goal posts.

It used to be thought that only humans could play chess, as chess playing was seen as a mark of human intelligence, then when computers could play chess it was thought only humans could play chess well, and when computers could play chess well it was argued that computers couldn't beat the best of human chess players, so humans were ahead. But then computers started to beat the best hummer chess players. So the sights were next set on Go, which went through the same cycle, but much faster until computers could outplay the best human Go players.

The evolution of AI is littered with such hurdles that computers overcame time and time again, but the goal posts keep moving.

We should note that some humans can't do the things you ask for either... or not well, and if they can they don't always do so (most people speak in cliches, for instance, so could be said to be "just reshuffling words"), and, anyway, computers are quite capable of generating randomness, which is definitely "new" in some sense.
It’s not a mistake, that’s for sure. I’ll be more blunt since a lot of other comments in this thread beat around the bush: higher education institutes are removing objective admissions criteria so that they can admit less qualified minorities on subjective grounds.
The reason it's a singularity is not because we can't predict past it: it's because it represents a point of rapidly accelerating growth in capability of AI, enabled by the fact that the AI itself is either modifying its own code, or creating the next generation of AI, which will be smarter, and able to create a smarter next generation, etc.

Humans not being able to accurately predict what comes next technologically isn't the singularity; it's just a basic truism, and has been for decades.

That possibility makes me really nervous. A few weeks ago I was pretty sure that Beijing would not be that stupid, and simply stick with sending tons of dual-use goods, to keep up the plausible deniability.

But Chinese rockets hitting Ukrainian kids in Kyiv/Europe? That would trigger dramatic sanctions. I don't think that is priced into the current world stock market.
