> The south has never gotten over losing the civil war. And the north won't either force them to or let them leave.

"The South" and "The North" of the civil war era are even less distinct geographical units than they were at the time of the civil war (and, to an extent, the impression caused by factional control of state governments at the time of the war was misleading even then, many states had substantial factions -- including military units -- supporting both sides.)

...and the shallower nerds.
More context from another article:

> The big losses experienced by the bank are directly related to the surge in interest rates over the past year, as the company's US Treasury holdings were bought at a time when interest rates were still relatively low. Bond prices fall as yields rise.

https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/silicon-vall...

More general context:

- Banks are required by law to buy US Treasuries (UST). This regulation came about after the GFC.

- UST prices fall as interest rates rise

- the fall of UST prices in the last year is abnormally abrupt and deep

- banks are not required to "mark-to-market" their UST holdings if they plan to hold to maturity

- cash crunches can cause banks to sell UST before maturity, turning unrealized losses into real losses

- SVB joins Silvergate as a previously high-flying tech-related bank suffering a cash crunch and forced to liquidate bond holdings at a loss

It's hard to judge the scope of the problem that Silvergate and SVB might point to. What's clear is that unrealized UST losses on bank balance sheets can surface very quickly and lead to very ugly outcomes.
You got this! Second looks really cool. Fellow solo founder here, definitely going to try it out
I know but "the interests of the people" is just as vague as "the greater good." When you get to the point of actually defining those interests and deciding what will further them, you're at political agenda.
Depends on how they engineered the prompt.

Doing it directly with ChatGPT was pretty straight forward.

```

The following is a piece of JSON where the values are strings in the English language.

{

"title":"hello"

}

Please translate the values into Spanish without altering the keys of the JSON object.

```

Responded with:

```

{

"title":"hola"

}

```

EDIT: Looks like this is the prompt being used:

`Translate a i18n locale json content to ${targetLang}.`

Just my opinion, that prompt needs improvement.
I would disagree. Rust's borrow checker and other static analysis are more akin to the safety guards on a table saw. For 95% of situations they're just protect you by catching your mistakes, but there are times when the guard makes it hard or impossible to do what you need to.

In those situations, if you really need to do the work, you take the guards off for that work (unsafe would be the Rust equivalent), then put them back on afterwards.
Another cool technology that I think would work with yours is WebContainers for PR handling. I'm not involved with it in any way, I just think the way it makes testing and editing changes in-browser easy (by bundling a full Node environment) would make your product better.

This. And VC doesn’t help much, because as soon as you take the money you are in a race to become the next overpowered, uninspiring behemoth, only with less resources and a low chance of a real payoff.
E-ink was the very first thing I thought of. Less power use, less glare, less distraction. Heck, I have the Logitech K800 Wireless Illuminated Keyboard and it hurts my eyes when the room is not brightly lit (unlike my Mac Book Pro's backlit keyboard which does it right).
I still don’t understand. What’s funny about it and what’s DNA got to do with human language sentences (the original quote)?

Chomsky’s grammars are used in compilers and compiler theory. Even though programming languages have got nothing to do with human languages. Certainly nothing to do with the “probability of a sentence” that he was talking about. The application of something like that doesn’t necessarily tell you anything about what Chomsky is talking about, namely human language.

The employee never pays out of pocke. Note it's not a loan, but an investment.

Upon a liquidity event, the employee needs to pay back the investment amount + certain percentage of their shares. If the total amount is lower than the investment amount, the payback amount is capped by the amount they received for their shares. Thus, the employee will never pay out of pocket.

Regarding the share %, that varies based on the demand by the investor community for the specific company, and the specific employee strike price.

Not really. Dopamine starving is something I've always done. I'm not sure about the science behind it, but it works wonders for me. All pleasure has a law of diminishing returns, you need some sort of build-up of dopamine in your brain for it to work properly again, otherwise you chase higher yielding dopamine activity (because of tolerance) and that's unhealthy.

I've often found myself doom-scrolling, snacking too much, or vaping more than I should be. I've also found myself eating the same comfort food with no pleasure attached to it, it was just mindless snacking and my dopamine 'buildup' was diminished.
Can you describe this more, or link to some materials?

Are we talking about temporary war powers, or was this the long term government structure that would have been powerfully centralized?

We started off on a pipeline system but have since implemented an in-house layer that is now part of our product.

The problem here is there aren't a whole lot of good options out there. Most systems assume a static production and do not react to changes happening independent of the deployment.

>And that's why you now have front camera on SUVs.

No. It's not. Kids are in front of your car how often? Not often enough to make an effective sales pitch for the feature. Front cameras are a thing because people think they're useful in mundane parking and low speed maneuvering circumstances. The more offorady themed vehicles also sell them as being useful in that context.

We already have things like "use strict", because of backwards compatibility. Following the same idea, we could have something like "use ES2023" or something along those lines. Issue with JavaScript is that browsers have in-flux implementations of new features (as browser parent companies see it fit for their usage), and there's no cohesive point in time release process. I think "living" standards, are part of the reason why the web stack is so jumbled.

But what do I care, whatever mess and complexity arises from these "good enough" implementations is left for the generation after us to deal with :)
> OpenAI has the GPT models, not Microsoft.

Haha no. There is no future where OpenAI operates independently of Microsoft. OpenAI is functionally beholden to MS. 49% is a paper contrivance to present a facade that they're still in control. They're not. The tail is wagging the dog, and in this case the tail is a trillion dollar dragon that OpenAI lowered the drawbridge and invited inside.

> Or rather, that was all true at the time when I first investigated Widevine-on-Asahi, several months ago. A few weeks ago, Google decided to enter the 21st century and started shipping aarch64 userspaces on certain Chromebook models. This means that "Widevine-in-Chrome-on-Linux-on-aarch64" does exist. The ChromeOS blob extraction process works as before, and the Pi Foundation conveniently packages it as a .deb for Pi users.

Not the point of the article but this is great news that I learned just now. I can finally upgrade to aarch64 chrome on my Raspberry Pis.
Totally agree that I'm launching super early. I'm working really closely with some early customers to build out the modules that they need, and then I'll make those available for Pro users. Also completely agree that I need a showcase of apps. I'll have those put together soon.

Right now, anyone who upgrades to Pro basically gets direct access to me so that I can build out the modules that are needed for their use case. 100% if anyone pays something and isn't getting value, or asks for a refund, I would give a complete refund no questions asked.
The Speccy was great, but yes the Amstrad graphics were better. Not because they were anything spectacular, but because the Spectrum suffered from colour clash.

In summary, the foreground and background colour (known as the attributes) could only be set at a resolution of an 8x8 block of pixels - so every pixel in each 8x8 block had to share the same colours.

This meant for example that as a yellow sprite entered the same 8x8 block as a green thing, then when the code set the colour attributes to yellow (for the sprite) the green thing turned yellow too.

The opening seconds of this video [1] show it pretty clearly.

Disclaimer (which I feel appropriate given the old school playground wars about which was the best platform): I had a CPC464 which I loved and still run emulated, but also often went round to mate's houses for Speccy gaming too.
As far as I know the "other times this has been tried" all have had individual displays (and controllers) in each key. The difference being that here there is just one panel under the whole board with most of the parts above the display being transparent. This approach should be far less complicated to build, more robust and cheaper.

GP mentioned that the content of the stream today is very different than it used to be, likely due to legal issues.

I kinda wish it had ended up with something like 'exc` for exclusive, or one of the options you mentioned.
I think it would have made things easier for people to learn a helpful mental model.
Why wouldn’t it be? Do you think developers get inspired by this slick API and decide to write functions that talk directly to the database using unescaped interpolated strings? I doubt it.
This is an absurdly biased article that would have been flagged off the front page if it were in the other direction. I don't see any reason to trust the substance of the reporting when the article is adorned with such sanctimoniously juvenile attempts at humor.
Would be really interesting. I'm sad that the Touchstream (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FingerWorks) never got anywhere. Without sensing the keys it was really difficult to use, but the mix of keyboard and touch interface was nice.
Thank you, I'm wondering about the author's conclusions.

Well, "use stricter" and "use strictest" are still available...
I’m far from an anti-tax extremist, but it’s hard to read articles like this (that appear every year or two) and not be frustrated at calls to raise taxes in the same news cycle, when there is clearly so much abuse and waste in the system, that if largely eliminated would pay for so much! (E.g. eliminating $90b of fraud in Medicare, would allow for a 5% increase in discretionary spending across the board, without looking to the taxpayer!)

> It is, of course theoretically possible that some crooks repackaged and sold a bunch of equities as a 'safe' investment instrument to a bunch of morons, on a truly gargantuan scale. But if that has happened, nobody has heard about it.

I'm pretty sure it has not only happened but pretty much everyone is aware of it.
While I have been expecting AI to replace programmers for a while, the thing I was never sure about whether this will manifest itself as a business for some companies or whether it means the end of people creating apps altogether.

Another risk for building businesses on AI in general is that unlike with software that anyone can build (e.g. for a niche), AI solutions seem to be costly because they require a lot of data and a lot of processing power (at least to train) so you'll end up using someone else's AI. And the real magic is the AI not whatever you build around it so it can be pulled from under you while the AI itself keeps developing and obviously it can make the thin layer built around it irrelevant. I know that AI companies, at least OpenAI will sell the vision that they will be like AWS (amazon) and other similar cloud providers, but I just don't see this as a realistic scenario. It can only happen if AI gets stuck near the level where it is now for a substantial period. Say, at least a decade. Where it's good enough to be included in SaaS (and maybe other) software products but it's not good enough yet to do away with all software products or at least the need for companies building software products.
Speaking as a pro-environmental and mostly "woke" Texan, but one who has lived here my entire life and more or less understands the perspective of type typical conservative here:

The # sigil has always bummed me out too.

Supposedly it's because of this:

> Why isn't access this.x?

> Having a private field named x must not prevent there from being a public field named x, so accessing a private field can't just be a normal lookup.

https://github.com/tc39/proposal-class-fields/blob/main/PRIV...

Combined with this:

> Why aren't declarations private x?

> This sort of declaration is what other languages use (notably Java), and implies that access would be done with this.x. Assuming that isn't the case (see above), in JavaScript this would silently create or access a public field, rather than throwing an error. This is a major potential source of bugs or invisibly making public fields which were intended to be private.

But I still think it's weird.

DuckAssist answers questions by scanning a specific set of sources — for now that’s usually Wikipedia, and occasionally related sites like Britannica — using DuckDuckGo’s active indexing. Because we’re using natural language technology from OpenAI and Anthropic to summarize what we find in Wikipedia, these answers should be more directly responsive to your actual question than traditional search results or other Instant Answers.
It is much more straightforward to illustrate that an individual is failing a system than it is to illustrate the system itself failing the individual.

This is because a system sets the very problem domain for a person to "fail". By virtue of being a system, it is trivial to point to it and say "where" and "how" the person is failing inside it.

People are not so easy to describe. A person is not a simple system. Their needs are not so easy to point at and say "where" and "how" a given system has failed them. Each person is unique, and there are hundreds of millions of us all interacting with one system.

But that complexity is in everything you are asking of people here: What's does it mean to "lift yourself up"? What are the circumstances for "risky behavior", and are there really better options? Is the behavior a problem or result? These questions are all fraught with complexity, because people have complicated needs and complicated circumstances.

What we really need is to set a new problem domain: the needs of each person. But suddenly this becomes some vain moral debate: isn't it selfish?

It is. So is a system.

But what if a person's needs are to be taken care of without having to work hard themselves? Isn't that unfair?

It is. So is a system.

Our system demands we ignore such edge cases, and wave them off as moral failings: the person's fault: but what gives our system the right to say so? After all, this is just a system: it isn't God! We made the damn thing! It doesn't get to tell us what is right and what is wrong. Yet we let it do just that with every person every day.
Yes — that’s my point.

The people who call themselves “systems thinkers” can’t produce results, when governments hire them for projects.
>Indigenous people did not found America in any meaningful sense of the word.

Thats your opinion. The descendants of the people we are discussing say they did build the foundation and because their family investment of intellectual and sweat equity is sizable (conservative estimates are ~2 trillion hours of stolen labor) their case is not easy to dismiss.
Always great to see innovation in the keyboard space! Looks like a pretty neat product. I was hoping to see some sort of mouse layer or mouse control like on the UHK.

The UHK totally transformed how I use my desktop. I literally don't even have a mouse to plug in now if I wanted to because it's been so many years since I needed it. If the UHK ever broke or went out of business, I'd be in a world of hurt. Shipping times for the UHK are abysmal. I think it took almost a year to get my UHKv2. I spent some time searching for a similar product but couldn't find it. I don't think implementing that in software would be too hard, although it would not be cross platform like the UHK is.

Anyone know of "mouse with the keyboard" solutions?
Mount up!
WhatsApp doesn't rely on ads for their income and never has. For one the technology may have helped the company save development cost for their other chat applications (Facebook messenger & Instagram). On the other hand WhatsApp Business is probably pretty profitable, although there are sadly no public revenue reports I could find.
Additionally I assume the running costs for WhatsApp are probably not very high.
I don't know literally a single thing about the PDB format, but assuming it at least somewhat similar to DWARF, it's REALLY easy to get an explosion of symbols in there, especially if you're looking at individual object files.

A clean checkout of chromium is 5 GB (excluding the .git folder) by itself, the symbols will of course be larger.
