I think it works perfectly for stack overflow. Rarely is the full answer in the Google blurb. I almost always click through to the actual SO post.

Again, discord improving search would make users rely on their software more, since searching discord for answers becomes a part of user's workflows. Slack offering a premium enterprise "Librarian" feature would probably have significant demand. Usually, companies that offer more value can charge more for that value. I don't see the logic I how gimping search functionality somehow ends up improving these companies' bottom lines.
> Unless i'm missing something, its native search doesn't have any kind of fuzziness.

For the past couple years it's returned variations of words, eg: `installer` will return `installers`, `installed`, `installs`, `installing`. However it doesn't return synonyms. It's essentially just searching like one would with regular chat logs, except limited to searching only one server at a time.

I actually wish I could disable such matching since even with double quotes I can't get only an exact word matched (which is necessary when trying to filter a large number of results).

Has anyone interacted with chatgpt in a siri/alexa voice interaction for an extended period of time? I too have wondered when AI arrives in these platforms. It could be massively disruptive.
I tried what my daughter told me the other day (something in this line) - "Why do you answer like a ChatGPT powered Discord bot answering questions on an antique Reddit forum?"

An additional layer of irony is that your comment leads with an obscure unexplained acronym "TFA".
bitbucket is a solid product on its own but it's no where comparable to the social network and sheer volume of github and usability of github copilot.
Somewhat related I was happily coding up a healthcare processing python script a few weeks ago. I was using Copilot to help speed up my work. One of the things I was doing was checking the race in the HL7 data. I had a map to different races/ethnicities. After adding this map, I couldn't get Copilot to help me ANYWHERE in the file. At all. No amount of waiting, or changing little bits to try to get copilot to create it's prompt was working. Finally I slowly undid my last few changes, and realized my copilot prompting was coming back.

I kept going back and forth and realized when my map of races/ethnicities was removed, I was able to get copilot usage.
Ask HN: Has anyone switched from Chrome to Edge to play with the new AI stuff?
I recently set up Edge just to play around with the new Bing AI Chat, and was surprised to see they've got all kinds of interesting plugins and widgets they've created. There's a math equation solver, various web capture stuff, a built in image editor, the Bing Chat in the sidebar, some kind of AI "Visual Search" thing I can't figure out, etc. I've been out of the MS loop for a really long time and was pretty surprised to see how good it's looking.

It looks really polished and they make it easy to import extensions and etc from Chrome, so I've given it a try. Has anyone else switched, have any thoughts on this? Is there some drawback I'm not aware of?

I'm not used to MS being so far ahead of the pack on features like this! Very bizarre.
I coin a code comment format long long ago. Over the many years that followed I've never bothered to coin a name for it, until today! I present to the world: Talented Comments!

It was late at night after spending a seemingly absurd amount of time in the coding zone. One of those winning steaks where one writes many walls of code that suspiciously lack the usual bugs and typos, draining one cup of coffee after the other... It struck me all of a sudden that very little remains of the developer after he leaves this world. All we have is the shining diamond but no collective recollection of the man who cut it. Thus Talented comments was born. It takes 3 stages, the first is a story, preferably about your early childhood, the second part is what you've learned that day (from the described experience) and the third and final stage explains to the future reader (even if it is obvious) how that lesson applies to the code below.

And then we wait, hopefully for a hundred years, for someone to find it.

Extra points if one can awkwardly name a function, class or variable to hook into the story. My gut says it will help with preservation.
Sf is dense but SF is and has been for 70 years about 800k people. The bay area overall is around 7.7 million and the greater bay area is 10 million. Places like San Jose which take up a lot of the bay area are almost all suburb. That means even with long commutes to those high paying jobs houses are still 2+ million.
As I've repeatedly explained to you in this very thread, the position of the UN and vast majority of countries in the world is that Taiwan is a province of China. This is a simple fact, and it's frankly astounding that you keep trying to spin it as anything other.
IRC can be accessed by any client adhering to IRC standards which are free and open.

Discord can be accessed by any client adhering to Discord standards, which are closed and proprietary.

Nobody has an obligation to publish information for public access, nor is free necessarily superior to proprietary or vice versa, but Discord is absolutely less accessible than IRC or HTTP(S) as an objective fact.

> a one-stop quick way to find something in there, organization be damned.

I understand the desire, and clever search indexing allegedly solves this, but it's fundamentally an impossible tradeoff. Organization is essential to finding things.

I'm tired of people pretending search and AI can solve that problem. It can help, but it can't tell you what x or y thing you want is. I find myself typing nonsense like "what's the thing that's important in speaking" if I watched a video about how to give a good talk and am wanting to watch a part of it again. I haven't given it a title relative to how I think about it, I haven't thought about how to categorize it, and I haven't let a "place" for it settle in my head, because I didn't bookmark it or add it to a playlist.
I think 100:1 ratio for "long and happy life" among lab mice would be hilariously optimistic.

Because of their speed of reproduction, their lack of reusability, and the fact that in order to cure diseases you first have to inflict them, lab mice are basically in a constant state of massacre.

They're not even livestock. They're more on the tier of stationery.

I don't think it's bad at all, why do you say it's awful? I feel like you think it's bad because you have a negative bias towards discord
This screams “low self esteem”, you really ought to see a professional about it.
From what i could tell about 2 years ago, if you stuck to the skype (for business) API you would get functionnal messaging and maybe calls, but anything beyond sending and recieving messages (basically anything that you couldn't find in a skype for business client) would break and break often.
While reading this a book came to my mind - "Algorithms to Live By: The Computer Science of Human Decisions". There are thousands of bright people innovating clever solutions in CS but humanity often fails to bring those insights to wider societies. There needs to a bridge that could potentially tackle this problem and convert domain specific knowledge to solve day to day problems.
I drink a coffee alternative that happens to have Lion's Mane in it. Can't really be objective on if it has really made a difference in my memory since that's not the reason I primarily bought it (it was to get off coffee which is negatively impacting me).
While I agree with the author that engineers tend not to solve customer problems, but technical ones, what I was hoping he would get to is how to actually go about finding problems to solve in the first place.

In my personal journey, this has become the most difficult point in doing any sort of side project development. Sure, I can build prototypes, but for who? And why?
I've been doing reliability stuff for near two decades. The one thing I am sure of is there is no way to just engineer your way to reliability. That is to say, no person, no matter how smart, can just invent some whizbang engineering thing and suddenly you have reliability.

Reliability is a thing that grows, like a plant. You start out with a new system or piece of software. It's fragile, small, weak. It is threatened by competing things and literal bugs and weather and the soil it's grown in and more. It needs constant care. Over time it grows stronger, and can eventually fend for itself pretty well. Sometimes you get lucky and it just grows fine by itself. And sometimes 50 different things conspire to kill it. But you have to be there monitoring it, finding the problems, learning how to prevent them. Every garden is a little different.

It doesn't matter what a company like Fly does technology wise. It takes time and care and churning. Eventually they will be reliable. But the initial process takes a while. And every new piece of tech they throw in is another plant in the garden.

So the good news is, they can become really reliable. But the bad news is, it doesn't come fast, and the more new plants they put in the ground, the more concerns there are to address before the garden is self sustaining.
And then there are companies that hire security people fresh out of school and then Discord ends up being blocked.

As other have noted these devices are likely loss leaders.

That said, pretty much ($35 with shipping qty 1):

ESP32-Korvo Development Board https://a.co/d/fmaQfuL

This is a many years old dev board with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, a multi-mic ring array, RBG LEDs, speaker amplifier, SD slot, etc. Even this old version supports wake word with ring buffer, etc. That said this is also a (fun!) dev board - not a finished product. Newer versions based on the S3 are much more powerful.

Teardowns of Echo devices show much more capable hardware but at Amazon’s scale with their engineering, supply chain, and manufacturing resources they’re probably not losing all that much on Echo devices - although the Echo unit at Amazon has been posting serious losses but I’ve never seen breakouts of where those losses are coming from.
Hmm, I don't see why it's parsing it at all. It could just be inside the rust source code. And it might be faster to run, not just faster to load.
Early teams was fully compatible with skype for business, they were 2 front ends for the same API. The API has changed a lot since then but the very basic things are still skype-themed
I guess I should be clearer - I'm more referring to multiplayer communities rather than actual game-specific resources. Communities, rather than knowledge resources, are where it's appropriate, basically. Of course, these often end up bleeding into eachother over time.

I want to second what lapcat said. Apple promised to stop holding up bug fixes for rule violations, backtracked on some of that, and then just seemed to have given up on it entirely. Bugfix builds are routinely rejected, even now, and reviewers ignore you when you point out they shouldn't be.

After their initial announcement of the policy, Apple clarified that they would still reject bugfixes if the app violated section 5 of the guidelines, the section titled "Legal". On the surface, this would seem reasonable. After all, can't go violating legal requirements. However, this is still counter to the spirit of what they had promised. If it's up on the store already, if it's violating the law (e.g. for scamming users out of money), it should be taken down. If it's not violating the law, it's better that customers get the bugfix.

They also copied a bunch of rules from the other sections into section 5, to give themselves more leeway.

My 2c, I call Java a phalanx language.

Spears seems unsexy and rather limited compared to swords at an individual level, even a skilled soldier fighting with a long spear would probably lose 1v1 with a soldier who primarily fights with a sword. Put a few dozen of them in phalanx formation though, and the swordsmen don't even stand a chance.

I feel most programmers often judge tools primarily by how they function at an individual level and managers and CTOs pick based on how they perform at scale, and neither side understands the other's priorities much leading to so many debates on this aspect. So it may be unloved by individual programmers(I don't agree with most such people), but people who're responsible for delivering software absolutely love it imho.

Golang too fits in the same category, every time it comes up, half the crowd here likes shitting on it for one reason or other, but quality software is being written in golang in many places.

For any city making the claim, there would be someone claiming it ridiculous.

It's still casual sexism though, because being bad at market research and design isn't an integral feature of being a man. It's like if you said Theranos failed "because it was led by a woman".

I sell programming ebooks. Started in late 2018, the last two years have brought in more than double my needs. Which is just about $150/month (I'm from a developing nation, live alone in the outskirts of a second-tier city).

Tell me Google DNS's IPv6 addresses without looking them up. I won't wait.

Sometimes we need to deal with raw IP addresses instead of abstraction layers, and IPv6 fails hilariously because it clearly goes beyond the realm of direct human consumption.

You saying a non-human readable thing is human readable if it's passed through an abstraction layer to make something human readable only reinforces the argument IPv6 is not human readable.
Hey there, mind sharing the product? Sounds interesting!
I've seen this rhetoric since Geocities. Discord is the latest scapegoat in a long lineage of successful products that are paradoxically ruining the internet and holding us back from the digital utopia we all dream of.

Thinking like this leaves out the most decentralized part of the system: people. People are the real repositories of lore, and they're the ones who bring the useful things from place to place. It's a mistake to ever think of the internet as a library. Libraries take the kind of work and time you can never expect at a massively distributed group of volunteers to do. The internet has been and will always be ephemeral.

This problem is well-known amongst bitcoiners.

When the currency is abundant, everything becomes scarce. When the currency is scarce, everything becomes abundant.

Real estate has been monetized because the money is too abundant. The marginal cost of the next dollar is near zero, which is not the case for houses.

The demand that monetized real estate and other scarce assets will find a better home in Bitcoin. At that point, Alice will have no woes about house prices as it will go down to it's utility value. When housing is demonitized, it will once again make sense to rent if you put your downpayment in a hard money.
Opera browser enhances videos using Lucid mode technology
Key point I think should be more prominent:

The effect was on cultured brain cells. The reason brain tumors and other disorders of the brain are so hard to treat is that the blood-brain barrier keeps many big molecules out. That doesn't mean the molecule isn't therapeutically relevant, only that there's a ways to go to making it useful for actual humans/mice and not just cells in a petri dish.

Still a fascinating discovery and I look forward to more research.

I imagine this would be a problem uniquely experienced by super heavy cars with low ground clearance, (comparatively, of course), basically Teslas.

Normally, heavy I.C.E. vehicles would have greater ground clearance (like trucks/SUVs), or lower ground clearance I.C.E. vehicles would be lighter.

So if you were, for example, driving on compressed snow/ice and you had a low clearance, heavy vehicle (like a Tesla) you may sink deeper into the tire ruts subjecting everything between your left and right tires to an icy sledgehammer. (Or harmlessly high centering and being stuck)

Correlation does not imply causation. Requiring an internet connection is correlated with poor game sales, but is not the cause of the poor sales. The actual cause is poor programming. You see, when you require an always-on internet connection to play a game, most programmers would implement that by having an ugly, in-your-face loading screen where the game "connects to the game servers" and "downloads your profile" and then "uploads your profile" and it always takes much longer than it should. That's what people don't like.
