I feel a deep sadness, a sympathy, or sense of loss for the countless artists who have toiled to produce beautiful works over the decades (centuries?), just for them to be approximated by a single click as a vector mashup in an AI generative search space. And without so much as a by your leave.

I'm not saying it's logical to be against AI image generation, but definitely have a feeling that something has gone wrong here. When Microsoft, a billion dollar global software firm, can profit by generating these images I must ask if they are the ones that worked for such reward.

Compared to who? Parenting is a struggle for all parents I've seen, but in Japan it's more common I think for grandparents to live close enough to help out sometimes. It's also more common for women to be stay-at-home mothers.

When you compare the birthrate of Japanese people (in Japan) to westerners, after subtracting immigration in the western countries, Japan actually looks pretty normal, or even a little better.
Battery swapping will utterly explode the amount of raw materials needed. It's going to be hydrogen cars simply because it is the genuinely scalable solution. The exact details don't really matter, so long as raw material usage is greatly reduced. You can have cars fully powered by hydrogen, or some kind of PHEV with a fuel cell range extender. Any variation of the idea will work.

This post follows the current trend hyping up signals, but glosses over the complexity they bring.

We can agree that state management is complex, no matter how it’s done. If you disagree, cool go build a database.

Of all the complexities around state management, the one squarely placed at the top for me is: time.

State is a variable you care about, that will change over time.

Signals and Hooks/Effects present two very different approaches to the problem.

They both require updating your mental model, and they both have specialised tooling.

Myself, I’ve never fully grokked observables/signals—particularly in relation to a UI. They shift complexity into a location that I think makes them harder to reason about.

I did take to the React approach with Components and hooks. And in my experience so did many others.

I disagree with the article saying all frameworks must have signals, and I appreciate the React core team holding their ground on that.

It’s healthy for the ecosystem to have frameworks built on different ideas, otherwise why build a new framework?

But React, if you added signals I think you would warp it’s entire foundational paradigm.
Yes, there were some true believers (particularly owners of regional distributors.) There were also people who were detached, but for other reasons (work to travel, overwork, weird attitudes due to headcount games, contractors only seeing dollar signs.) There were objections but perennial objectors weren't welcome in these meetings. Successful objections, moral or not, were couched in language of customer personas, market trends, market position relative to competitors, questioning the perceived value of OEM, potential alliances with other manufacturers.

When I heard the truth blurted out I don't think it was the actual truth that made them uncomfortable. What was uncomfortable was that a person had gotten into that meeting and did not know how to operate in that world. The time for long, candid talks about what the hell the industry is doing to itself was during dinner later at night--but while some of those conversations probably changed careers long term, they didn't at all change the results the following day.

I assume they're referring to Jorge Luis Borges's short story "The Library of Babel," which imagines an enormous library that has a book for every possible sequence of letters and punctuation, all of a certain length (a few hundred pages). The library therefore contains all useful books on any topic in any language (as long as it's covered by the alphabet), but also all useless or inaccurate ones, and of course a vast sea of gibberish. All the knowledge you could want is there, yet unattainable.

I fully understand why the house system is a big deal to astrologers. For one thing, it's like half the chart. It dramatically enriches the amount of information you have to work with.

I've spent a lot of years toying with the idea of writing a blog that critiques astrology in a serious way. I've even made a few stabs at it.

But it seems like a pointless waste of time. People who believe in astrology wouldn't want to hear "You're wrong!" and people who think it's hoccum wouldn't bother to read it.

Understanding the house system can explain to other people who believe in astrology why astrologers sometimes make predictions that are so off the mark. It cannot explain to skeptics why astrologers think the stars empower them to predict anything.

And skeptics are not wrong to wonder that. Astrology has a poor track for prediction.

I don't personally think predicting extremely specific future events (like the birth of a child) is even a good use for astrology. And I'm someone who studied it in earnest and still thinks it has some merit, yet I spend less and less time on the topic.
That’s the problem with treating intelligent words like intelligence. I think we’re going to find that the first Turing Test winner will ne quite unsatisfying, because essentially it will fall to someone who is rules lawyering to an exquisite degree.

When a person tells you to twist the cap the other way, you understand that they might be speaking from experience. That they understand what a bottle is and how to open it. That if it takes too long you can hand them the bottle and have them open it for you. That they might actually try to take the bottle from you to get it done.

Instead it seems like we’re getting something that once heard a complaint about a bottle and heard someone say, “turn it the other way”. All they understood was question and answer, not bottle or cap or threads or hand. You can’t just add a bit of code to get it to act on what it says.

“ a lot more people lived and/or worked on farms and a lot more food was sold locally, not far from where it was grown”

But they’re not living/working on farms, nor are they living near where the food is grown. Our agriculture system is capable of delivering huge amounts of food for people (including the people who live near fields), but it’s not exactly trying to do that as doing that is not economically efficient.
I'm assuming you read it, so why does Harry Potter (a 11 year old in 1991/1992) think polyamory might (or probably would be, looking at the text right now) be a good idea in a future where people live a long time, in said fanfic? I think it's pretty dubious, but the other 11 and 12 year old girls in the same fanfic also seem to be fans of the idea of yaoi like situations, so all semblances of actual historical events are probably gone at that point. This is the UK in 1992, not the US West Coast. To give my personal impression, when I read some science fiction that had some suggestions of polyamory in it in a similar situation, I did not think it was a good idea. I know the whole thing is essentially a morality story and for various plot and author-community communication reasons the "Harry Potter" in the story does not behave like J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter with different adoptive parents nor like any person, child or otherwise, could behave in 1991 and 1992 within the realm of probability, but I think the whole thing could be done a lot better even given the various constraints. How about he actually does science experiments for more than two chapters instead of going on stupid adventures that should probably be left to the JKR books. Cut the time travel as well, figure out some other reason for constraint solving to show up.

Show HN: Turning Water into Code with ChatGPT
Taking my Inspiration from the rapid pace of advancements and the potential for low hanging fruits in natural language modeling. Ive discovered how to turn H20 into code.

the process is simple: you drink water and use the energy from it to prompt an LLM that generates code. the body's natural energy is harnessed to create code that is clean as a mountain spring.

However some early engineering type naysayers have raised concerns about the sustainability of this approach. They argue that the amount of water needed to sustain such a practice would be wasteful, and that the quality of the code generated may not be consistent.
It doesn't understand simple logic puzzles (If X than Y, if Y than Z, X is true, is Z true), either.

Or, rather, it prints out a paragraph of the correct way to solve such a puzzle, and then produces a totally contradictory answer.

When asked:

> Sally will go to the dance if James goes to the dance. Michael will not go to the dance if Julie will go to the dance. James is sick and can’t go to the dance. Julie and James always go to dances together. Will Michael go to the dance?

Its response is:

> Michael will not go to the dance, since his attendance is contingent on Julie not going and James being unable to attend due to illness does not change that condition. Given that James and Julie always attend dances together, it is likely that Julie will also not go to the dance, meaning that Michael’s condition for attending will be met, and he will not go to the dance.

For a beautiful combination of logic and numbers, and the spectacular way in which it explodes, ask it a number-logic puzzle.

> Could you please solve the following number puzzle for each digit?

AAA
+ BBB
--------
= AAAC

Its response reveals an 'understanding' of what is being asked of it, and the constraints inherent to it, and uses a reasonable approach for problem-solving, but due to the logical errors it commits, it results in utter nonsense.

Nonsense like trying '15' for the value of A, because it thinks that A must be an odd multiple of '5', due to algebraic gems, such as:

2A + 2B = A + 10C - 11
Simplifying, we get:
A = 5C - 6 - B/2

It's idea of math - even math it is using to solve problems - simply consists of building a soup of numbers and letters.
> The key factor behind our decision was the realization that while Docker images are industry standard, moving around 100s of megabytes of images seems unnecessarily heavy-handed when we just need to synchronize a small change.

I think the culprit is more the GitHub Actions cache than Docker since it seems to be hard to get a clean cache management. I'm not sure about caching Docker image layers, but caching the Nix store with GitHub Actions is pretty complicated (not even sure it's possible): this means we have to download all required Nix store paths on each run, but i consider this is because of a GitHub Action cache limitation.

So, did you consider using another CI, which offers better caching mechanisms?

With a CI able to preserve the Nix store (Hydra[1] or Hercules[2] for instance), I think nix2container (author here) could also fit almost all of your requirements ("composability", reproducibility, isolation) and maybe provide better performances because it is able to split your application into several layers [2][3].

Note i'm pretty sure a lot of Docker CI also allows to efficiently build Docker images.

> probably don’t want all the content at once

If we’re talking about games developed by Parodox itself I really can’t imagine something like this. Core mechanics in most grand strategy games have usually been changed to a significant degree and while they are technically playable without DLCs the changes were most often made to better integrate the new content. Which overall left the base game in a largely crippled state.

Skylines is a lot better in this regard than something like Stellaris though.

I found https://store.steampowered.com/app/1538960/Crusader_Kings_II... to be an extremely good deal especially because I never tend to play these games continuously for significant periods of time. Obviously they are not offering this for newer games since it would usually lead to people spending 10s of dollars instead of 100s for the same amount of content

Otherwise, you get a high-probability answer guided by the training data (which contains a lot of trick questions) and a bunch of attempts of the LLM to justify the wrong answer.

Probably, unless you need to share LibDependency data structures between 1.0.0 and 2.0.0, in which case, it depends on the implementation of LibDependency.

Rather than trying to do this at the language level with namespaces or whatever, it's probably easier to compile and link each version of the problem dependency into a separate library (static or dynamic), then to make sure each of your own libraries and executables only directly links to one version of the problem library.

This way, you don't have to rename or namespace anything, because conflicting names will only be exposed externally if you're linking to the problem library dynamically, in which case you should be able to arrange for the names to be qualified by the identity of the correct version of the problem library at dynamic load time (how to ensure this is platform-specific).
That is vastly underestimating how tricky it is to make novel pieces of software run. There is a huge fringe of people who know how to click things but not use the terminal and a large fringe of people who know how to run "./execute.bat" but not how to write syntactically correct Python.

But a lot of those people want to play with LLMs.

I am not sure calling bullshit on images works the same way, given we generally want to invite creativity to image generation.

Although an adversarial extra-finger detector seems in order! Extra fingers are not creativity. They are taboo!!

But for text, there is a lot of structure around bullshitting, and fortunately, the internet is full of examples of people calling bullshit. As long as the bullshit adversary has to give a strong critique to back up any bullshit call, it should work.

And bullshit judgments can be de-bullshitted too.

This would be the same as what our social circles, work colleagues, families, etc. do for us, so a circular firing squad of bullshit judges, who also give gold stars for quality responses, seems like a natural solution for models too.
I went and checked, and it is a bit buried at the bottom of the useState explanation when explaining what an example does:

> I'm not sure I'd ever expect a framework, React or anything else, to stop that behavior.

Isn't this the whole selling point of Solid's signals? If a child component receives its props from the parent as signals, and asks the parent to fetch some data and update the state, then the child won't rerender; only the bits that are consuming the signals will. Fine-grained reactivity, they call it.
In the case of HP, I think it makes sense from a business point of view. The "big money" in printers is not the printer but the refills. They are kind of the petroleum lamps of IT. One of the biggest problems from the POV of a printer company is the fact that refill/replace from different brands cuts into their profits.

The inital strategy by all companies was to point out that original ink is better in some way, then most of them tried some sorts of firmware based restrictions. HP actually tried a pretty interesting approach with their ink subscription model. They have a decent price/page with that and you don't ever have to worry about running out of ink because you automatically get a replacement cartridge if you subscribe for x$/month. The downside is that the number of pages that you are "allowed" to print each month is limited which seems pretty ridiculous at first glance for a tech person. However, if you think about "normal users" I think they actually found a good way to force them back to their ink by selling "peace of mind".

So basically, while I completely disagree with the approach because I want to use a device I buy any way I please I think HP is actually making the right business call here. The average customer cares about having an ok price/page and having a printer that always prints when they need it. I think HP is targeting that with their subscription model and also making cash flows a bit more reliable.
