This couldn't be more different than the trip I made to CR back in 2019. Picked up a car from the airport (Hertz or Enterprise IIRC), drove around the whole time and MOST of the roads were well paved for driving, even without a 4x4. Stopped at random shacks on the street and picked up plates of the day which were all delicious, and servers who were overtly courteous. Only place we saw traffic was in central San Jose.

We did the tourist track of Arenal/Alajuela/Poas and then also spent a few days on the "road less traveled" but at no point did I really feel unsafe. Sure, it's not always 8-lane highways, but roads are more than decent and considering the immense natural beauty and wildlife, it felt wrong to even expect highways to be there.

I happily tell folks that Costa Rica was one of my favorite countries to visit (and make sure you keep sipping on Fresca and their incredible coffee while you are there!). To each his own I guess.

Edit: Another Pro tip we used: Used Waze instead of GMaps. It's incredibly popular in CR [1] and we felt it had much better directions compared to Google Maps across the country, especially wrt smaller bylanes.

This is exactly what therapy is for.
Ah yes! I came from a 3rd world country. The urban planning is chaotic and pollution everywhere.

Whenever I travel to a 1st world western country, both city and suburb, I see the clear blue sky and sceneries (buildings, roads, layout) that make me feel like I'm in a 3D FPS or city sim game.
Rows isn’t for apps. It’s for spreadsheets proper.

Just that Rows assumes 2 things:

1. you got to import data from your cloud tools (SaaS like GoogleAnalytics, BigQuery, Looker, Ads platforms,… and your own custom APIs). It’s hard to do on excel and sheets, not flexible and hard to automate.

2. You want to share spreadsheets in a way they render well on mobile.

That’s why we made rows (im a founder)
Ask HN: Mechanism for LLMs to verify own outputs? Functional self-“awareness”
Do you think it could be possible for LLMs in the future to be able to verify their own output of machine code, or rather that and also the abstracted human coding language?
While this might not solve the biggest usefulness of ML coding problem of translating a product managers needs to actual programs or doing detailed maintenance, it would be a huge shift in reliability and philosophically interesting.

Do you think this could be possible? I can’t think of a straightforward way, data that is available doesn’t seem to allow for training it on labeled machine code, assembly or compilation specs.

Could compiled languges with labeled data be turned into assembly or machine code at scale and be used to train?
or dissembling other languages with labeled data?

Could modeling of machine code workings be imparted to a model with just using assembly, I know they are basically the same, but these models are pretty rigid.

Is there some current restraint that would prevent it from understanding machine code functionally and human Language same time?

The underlying curiosity is can computers maybe one day “understand” “cpu+ memory” on a physical mathematical level?

theory of mind and whether language models can understand themselves at a higher level is rather impossible to even define, I think not at all yet, a cpu is rather simple descriptively compared to organic brain with all its protein folding and microtubials etc. but no one knows sentience as a definite idea that can be proven.
We probably could however impart the ability of a model to “ account for/ understand “ its own discrete mathematical capabilities literally.
> When you sign up for Medicare Advantage, and you shouldn't

Yes you should. The regular Medicare is utter garbage. Medicare Advantage is WAY WAY better.

> Bernie is right. Medicare for all would be awesome.

Bernie is wrong about basically everything. Unpopular opinion, I know. But the thing is Bernie never thinks about the consequences of his ideas. He'll put out some amazing (in his mind) idea, not realizing people will adjust their actions in response, completely ruining his plan. He does this over and over.

His colleagues know this - check his record, he has never even once gotten a bill of his passed, even his own party votes against him, because they are smarter than him and actually think about consequences of things.

I listened to him at first, I don't anymore.

> Traditional Medicare generally pays 80%

And Medicare Advantage pays 100%. And there are Medicare Advantage plans that don't cost anything extra at all - and still pay 100%. It's better than Medigap.
No it’s not, its the literally the name the government gave those plans.

“What is Medicare Part C?

A Medicare Advantage Plan (like an HMO or PPO) is another Medicare health plan choice you may have as part of Medicare. Medicare Advantage Plans, sometimes called “Part C” or “MA Plans,” are offered by private companies approved by Medicare.”

Well I know that now because I watched a bunch of prep videos and then easily passed interviews despite my experience not significantly changing in the intervening time. But that's my point; if you don't prep you have to just guess which aspects of this pretend scenario you're meant to be taking seriously and which are OK to gloss over. I had other interviews go off the rails because I offered too much detail about a smaller part of the system and discussion of it dominated the entire time but even though the interview kept engaging this discussion it wasn't actually what they wanted. "Don't bother prepping because you can't; it's just measuring your real abilities" is just not right, in my opinion.
Does this have anything at all to do with GPT? Would be sad to see this kind of naming scheme become a trend...
We can easily look north to Canada or east to Japan for context on what services and procedures should cost.

Japan has the health insurers and medical providers engage in structured fee negotiations and standardize prices in systems.

There is no reason in the USA that injecting a Covid vaccine should cost $42.70, while injecting a Mpox vaccine should cost a different price of $67 when self paying at Kaiser. Meanwhile, insurers pay significantly less than this for the same service.

Some hard hallucination going on, for what I would think would be a product with decent data.

>Which home voice assistant do you recommend?

There are a variety of home voice assistants and other home products recommended in the comments, including Amazon Echo Dots, Bose Wave, Xiaomi Mi, Sony Dream Machine, Levoit Core 300 air purifier, Winix 5300-2 air purifier, Miele or SEBO vacuums, Neato D7 or iRobot Roomba S9+ robot vacuums, BlueAir air purifiers, Panasonic Link2Cell cordless phone system, CAT phone's speakers, Kirby vacuums, Honeywell HPA304 air purifier, and JBL speakers. Some people suggest DIY solutions or looking for used products, while others recommend established brands like Philips, Steelcase, Vitamix, Toto, Bluestar, Bosch, and Kitchenaid. Some comments also mention the importance of considering room size and personal preferences when choosing a product.
Lol!

You will be beat by Cells.com
> Are any other manufacturers pushing as hard here?

Why would they. Most of those things are not sustainable.

You don't want alluminium wires in your car.
On the other hand, I can't write "sanity check" without getting on HR's naughty list.
Thats my entire point. Glad to see you finally agree with me.
That ones tricky, because most of computing is composing primitives distilled out of the ambiguous mess of a business context. Your implementations are the bones of process left when you've peeled back the skin, cut out all tha musculature, and removed anything resembling a squishy bit, just leaving a skeleton.

So you're asking the computer to look at bones, and vomit forth a description of just WTF you were trying to do in the first place, when the same set of primitives, configured in the same way, could solve problems in thousands of different contexts.

There may be more success going the other way: distilling the config of primitives from the messiness of requirements; which strikes me as something similar to what is called a prompt engineer; however, the biggest difference there is the additional burden of cutting through BS.
That's an interesting question. It would be great to see if this is possible. I don't know of any research on this, but I'm sure someone out there is working on it.
The parliament is a joke. It can propose legislation and most people don’t vote at all during EU elections and those that do rarely take it seriously
<sarcasm>

Whaaaat? I thought so many lives were improved by making devteams replace all usages of "black/whitelist" with "block/allowlist".

</sarcasm>

Well, except for the lives of the users, on-call engineers, 1st and 2nd level tech support, the product owners, and everyone else who had to deal with sudden, unexpected, hard to track bugs resulting from such BS changes.

<sarcasm>

Oh, ofc I apologise for my use of the word "list", which may be historically charged, and also non-inclusive to people who prefer unordered data.

With managed runtimes it used to be you had no control. It was an opaque black box with complete vendor lock-in.

Now it supports Containers it’s a place you can run any compute you can think of as long as it finishes in 15 minutes, uses less than 10gb of memory and you want to trigger it using http, direct lambda invocation or from one of the various aws event sources such as s3, sqs, sns.

I used to avoid Lambda as it was an opaque black box. Now it’s a generic compute platform for short lived jobs using container support.
Why not just send a pull request to TypeScript if some of the types are incorrect?
Right. Except when you apply for a bank account, loan, passport, drivers license, enter a contract and so on.
It does work like a spreadsheet.

The point is to compete against Excel.
Yeah. Over time this has killed my interest in charitable organizations, sad to say. I just don't trust them anymore because I think if I donate to an apparently well defined cause it'll actually just be embezzled and put to use hiring hard left activists who spend all their time harassing normal people in pursuit of their deranged ideology. The prevalence of dumb language purity guides amongst these organizations just reinforces that feeling. Nowadays I'm much now likely to donate to crowdfunders for the victims legal fees.
I see it as unintentional discrimination. It's treating the people they are relabeling as children that need the kind progressives to step in and save them. It's so condescending. Minorities don't need white Knights to save them, neither do the disabled. If an individual wants me to not refer to them as x because they find it offensive, no problem. But a group of academics should not be able to sit around and decide that a group as a whole needs saving. It very much forces otherness on people and to your point furthers the divide. it forces us to see them as different.

Side note, and this is completely off topic and I really mean this in the most positive way but you typing here has completely altered my perception of the need for following web standards for accessibility. I don't know any blind people in real life so really just assumed that accessibility standards really weren't worth the effort as they wouldn't make a difference. But here you are reading and responding in a manner that's probably better than I do. I am 100% on board now. You opened my mind today, thanks for that.

Bug #1714302: Mirror displays not offered, buggy
I think the thing much more likely to shorten people's lives than their doctor not being able to speak frankly because of woke vocabulary, is not having a house. I'm not even talking about the homeless here.
The Atlantic should be running an article every day extolling the virtues of home building and questioning the morals of a country which fails to shelter even working people. Rather than pouring over the editorial policy of wonkish publications, they should be lambasting every state legislature that so far has done nothing to ensure there are enough houses.

I think that far worse for democracy than woke grammarians ratioing you on Twitter, is the rise of a surveillance state which previously couldn't exist but is now totally enabled because of AI automation. Obama firmly planted mass surveillance into and "acceptable" "legal" framework. We have learned little of what this apparatus can do operationally since the Snowden leaks which were before the deep learning stuff really exploded. The Atlantic should be questioning every day the moral fiber of a supposedly open and democratic society which has a shadow supreme court and an entire secret apparatus.

What I'm willing to bet has a far greater impact on people's ability to control their employment future and therefore their own autonomy far more than the possibility of getting fired for accidentally saying "gimp" during the next inclusivity training? The breakdown of organized labor and growing inequality. The Atlantic should be railing every day about the fact that sub-living wages and make workers desperately dependant upon their employer and less able to exercise their democratic rights.

But if you write for the Atlantic, you have friends in CIA. Your kids go to daycare with the kids of several corporate VPs. You don't know anyone that cleans rooms 10 hours a day and lives in a Super 8 for lack of permanent affordable housing. Writing about those things is actually controversial. It's actually risky. So instead, you turn inward.

This country's elite media appear to me to have totally lost any grip on reality. There is some fantastical disconnect from what actually impacts people. Instead they only see and obsess about what impacts them. They have gazed so far into their own naval that they are instead playing this Alternate Reality Game, chasing phantoms and navigating mind mazes.
IMO spreadsheets must have cell-level flexibility and similar formulas

> Imagine a world where the smartest programming minds aren't just joining Google but also the agency set up to regulate Google.

So you'd get a revolving door between Google and this supposed agency regulating Google where engineers and policy makers would work at the agency, be friendly to Google and then switch jobs into a cushy job at Google with a nice pay bump as a thank you for years served and services rendered.
The case of swearing discredits this whole article. It’s banned from places, and it’s still used widely. There are people who don’t like it, there are people who use them constantly. Just like the topic of this article.

Another thing is that this topic is a discussion in law in the past 100 years in different forms. Just because the public didn’t care until now it doesn’t mean that there wasn’t discussion. There were a lot.

The gm bolt is what you want.
There are charts from GS or JPM (I can't remember which one) which show the performance of the most shorted stocks in the market. It's a straight line down (something like -7% annualized) and it also underperforms during crashes like 2008, 2020... Even including gamestop and AMC you only see a tiny rally in 2021 but the general line is down. Meaning it is a very effective hedge against the stock market.

The explaination could simply be that mainly only smart money short stocks, and they tend to be pretty good at figuring out issues in companies that are not yet fully priced in.

If I were to run a short ETF, I would add filters such as market cap, short interest and day to covers to avoid liquidity issues and squeezes, and/or play it through options structures. Like, it would have been stupid to be short GME when it had 300% of float as short interest. But it is probably fine in a lot of case with a sufficiently low day-to-covers and short interest. A more active strategy would be to monitor the Fee Rate which gives a good indication of the stock supply and is more "real time" than short interest data which often lags a few days/weeks.
For some the use of the first name assumes a familiarity which probably does not exist. The universal rule is that appropriate levels of interaction are both accepted and used in common parlance by everyone. Thus it's rare for a speaker at a press conference to be addressed by their first name though the speaker might well respond using a first name if they know the journalist. 'Anthony, how did your chat with Sergey (Lavrov) go?' is not something we're likely to hear. Of course it's down to preferences with ordinary conversations as in 'please call me Joe' or whatever.
You know full well that wasn't the case.
> battle and minefield disrespect veterans

Came here to say that as a veteran, I promise you that we're not too stupid to differentiate figurative use of these words from the literal.

The US Army uses the word "battle" so flippantly that it barely has any meaning: battle rhythm, Battle Staff, battle desk, Battle NCO, Battle Captain, Battle Command Systems, battle rattle, and on and on.

Seriously, fuck off.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'll be crawling across the earth, meticulously probing a buried-explosive-practicum with a plastic stick.

There are persistent rumors in the greater Munich area, that there are actual people being payed by BMW to, gasp, install them. But these are just rumors and horror stories we tell our children if they don't eat their vegetables... I think...
I do agree with your basic premise that this is probably just for people who want someone who will listen to them and never be uninterested in anything they say or any subject they bring up, without having to really ever reciprocate like with a pesky autonomous human full of their own desires and interests. That's not really a fair test of the system though, because their target audience isn't people who are just going to try to trick the AI into revealing that it doesn't actually know whether this or that is real or fake. The real test is engaging with it in good faith and it giving bad responses.
I'm not arguing what is currently happening or the end result, just that from even my own personal perspective I usually want to ask "is this word okay to use around you?" instead of just assuming it as such or automatically making someone else responsible for their feelings around my words. You might ultimately be right, but go down that road enough and these people are usually called "assholes" lol. That phrase isn't an indictment of good intentions, just a warning to be aware.
That’s just false… They vote for the president of the commission that’s true. However all the members are appointed by the governments of the member states. The parliament only gets a vote whether to confirm the commission in its entirety. They don’t get a say in picking individual members.
> The point is, the things we use to build applications are in a constant state of evolution and change.

Evolution and change are great!

The article misses a deeper issue though.

There is tech that evolves with breakage (PHP, large parts of the JS ecosystem etc.) and tech that evolves with compatible change (Go, Java, Clojure etc.)

There shouldn’t be anything wrong with starting on v(N-1). But there is something fundamentally wrong if vN breaks you.

Programmers get anxious about that for very good reasons. We already have enough work to do! Breaking changes looming over our heads is not something we like having to worry about.

I don’t know whether Next13 will or will not break Next12 code. But that’s besides the general point.

Don’t embrace “old” tech! Embrace _stable_ tech.
That can’t tell you that you can’t explain how Kubernetes works or NGINX or the JVM. Any one of those things would be perfectly acceptable as a starting point.
I know it sucks to hear, but be careful about being litigious unless losing access to your account is not a problem.

This isn't specific to Cloudflare, always keep in mind those huge tech companies aren't treated as utility and can boot you on a whim.
Well that is a cloudflare ip address. These IPs get used by an enourmous amount of different websites. Blocking cloudflare IP adresses is very useless, it will block access to many other sites and the page that they wanted to block has probably another IP address by now/for someone on the other side of the world.

Now lets say you try to counter, ah, but A so therefore all the other stuff is meaningless.

It seems like it works, but lets talk about the parable of the time you were given a deterministic dynamics function and you computed it according to what it was because you wanted to claim it was deterministic by treating it as what it was.

So you start calculating B + B + B + BC + BC + BC. And you see me looking at the same problem and idiotic like I am, you see me write down A = A' = BC. Then I get ready to solve it. And you are like, pfft, what an idiot. He isn't even talking about, like, actual reality.

unfortunately, in the calculations that follow, you realize something strange: Though you may B, I C you. And because I see you before you be such that I can determine what C should be such that you cannot see C while you B be, I choose a C for your B so that your B doesn't see C.

Basically, in choosing the slowest path, you also choose to be determinable, but in choosing being determinable, you implicitly make yourself vulnerable to an A' that makes your context - during the process - undecidable.

You thought choosing A saved you, but actually it was your curse:

You let me set A = B + B + B + A' because you didn't want to claim that we could divide A into the pieces which it was in actuality composed. But because it was in actuality composed of those pieces BC is now calculatable by A' such that your conceit is actually what traps you in the non-deterministic perspective. If B was calculated, not via A's conception of B, but A' then now it isn't just B that can't predict C. C probably can't predict B either.
Yes. More spreadsheet focused.

You start with a grid.
Grid is flexible and you get cells with literals or cells with formulas.

The new stuff is Integrations, to import and automate data from Saas tools (your API, BigQuery, Ads platforms, Google Analytics, Slack etc).

And Sharing, as every spreadsheet is shareable as a webpage and every table/ chart is embeddable.
The problem is, what do you do at 24:39:35, when both the minute and the second arm have more than a third of the way to go before zero?

Any mechanical design where units are not cleanly divisible would have to devise a way for the arms to "fast forward" over the gap and accept nonsensical results for a few seconds before midnight.
And before anyone says "monorepo", GL's cicd support for monorepos is piss-poor too.
You seem to have it mixed up with a fact-checking bot, tbh
