I saw a stream the other day that was just the output of an AI trained on a popular streamer’s past streams. It would select a random clip for video, respond to viewers’ comments in the voice of the streamer. It even superimposed roughly corresponding lip movements on the video.
I enjoy watching sports, I don't see how playing a videogame isn't another form of "worshipping entertainment".

> Everyone jumped onto the interpreter bandwagon

I can only think of Ruby and Python that use a strictly interpreter mode (in their most common runtime).

Java, C# use a hybrid solution, but for all practical purposes they are running as extremely efficient machine code, how is it not “efficient business language”?
No, you were not "stupid", and no one is claiming that!! In fact, Docker has gone out of their way to publicly apologize for saying something that was so inherently confusing that it led people--including myself, btw, and I don't even like or use Docker--to believe something they did not mean (that public image would be deleted). If they had written an article saying "we're sorry you're so dumb" I'd get your vitriol, but they are actively apologizing for their poor communication and trying to fall on their sword for causing a misunderstanding... what more do you want?!
This would be great to visualize the carbon footprint of your infrastructure.
> can't due to HOA rules

In 1996, the FCC adopted the Over the Air Reception Device Rule, or (the unfortunately named) OTARD rule. In short, the OTARD rule prohibits homeowners' associations and condominium associations from placing restrictions on residents which impede the installation, maintenance, or use of satellite dishes, TV antennas, or wireless cable antennas.
Every company I've worked at when I ask says "yeah, they're basically not enforceable ... wouldn't stand up in court ... sign here" -- so why have them?

It's just bullying. Do you have $50K to drop on a litigator to dismiss a lawsuit from your former employee? If you were a startup hiring someone would you want to burn your valuable equity dollars on such legal defense? Probably not.

Yeah. There were still plenty of people who predicted how foolish the early pandemic money printer was. I’d bet those same people view this new regulation with equal displeasure. I’m certainly in that camp.
If you're still running on Heroku after everything that went down last year, you really have no one to blame! We are happily on AWS now.
I would say an 80% margin is objectively good, and that moving it really doesn't make much difference even if you can make the number feel bigger.

Again, their system is designed to be ruthlessly efficient. They probably over-hired like 10-15%. I'd strongly suggest listening to the Odd Lots episode with Patrick McKenzie titled roughly 'what happens to tech workers in the age of layoffs.'

I get it's fun to speculate from the outside but there's no reason to look at it and go 'yep should be 5X higher' simply because they have a lot of staff. They have a lot of staff because they have billions of monthly active users and optimizing every aspect of their business is something they can do, and something that yields more profit than cost.

A lot of this armchair quarterbacking comes from folks who never worked there. Find someone who works at Meta and ask them about PSC.
Madoff refused to cooperate.
ChatGPT tells compelling stories. It does forget the Pokemon I've caught. When it forgot that I had befriended Mewtwo right after beating Misty and set off on an epic quest to help Mewtwo discover who it really was, that was pretty devastating. But a friendly reminder and it carried Mewtwo through the rest of the story with me. Every once in a while, when GPT hadn't mentioned Mewtwo for a handful of responses, I gently reminded it that I was traveling with Mewtwo to restablish the story.

But the world was rich and full of wonder. I'd play through again and do more exploration next time. It's a pretty high-fidelity world that it builds/describes. The part where I stumble across the Clafairy circle underscores this - it felt like I had discovered something really special.

Hope you enjoy the quest Mewtwo and I embarked on. I had a lot of fun!
Yes, same here, thanks. It’s crazy they were so forewarned and yet did nothing, even having lived through the GFC and knowing how quickly things can go sideways. Just 15yrs and they already forgot, /smh.
Then alter the type of the ambient native function itself:

The idea that an average working person could buy a house in their twenties was only possible: 1) in America, and 2) for the baby boomers generation, maybe for some of Gen X. Nowhere else, never after. This is the exception of exceptions, not a norm.
There were plenty of financial podcasts that were saying, “why don’t we just keep doing this?” Animal Spirits, for example.
The law in Denmark requires that you include all components of the compensation, not just base pay. This includes bonuses, pension, and things like the value of a company-provided car or phone.

Regarding RSUs, the document I'm reading does not explicitly mention them, but it says that it includes all benefits that you are taxed on, and well, I'm certainly being taxed on my RSUs.

All that said, the clause says you only get 40% or 60% of your full compensation (depending on the duration), so it is a ~50% pay cut for other reasons. Furthermore, it reduces to 16% if you manage to find another job in the same industry, and you are required to look for such jobs.
> When your neighbor can just type in the prompt "Destroy as much critical infrastructure as possible", that is as destructive as nukes.

True. When that's even a remote possibility of being something that could be done, then I may change my opinion.

Have I made you angry or something here?

I can imagine all of these sorts of doomsday scenarios right along with you. But, unless there's some sort of indication that they're anything but fantasy, it seems unwise to form opinions about reality on them.
> I've seen no well sourced material saying that the FDIC is raising rates

Beyond the special assessment, they almost certainly need to raise a new assessment to cover $250k+ deposits. Full insurance can't be on a discretionary basis.
They're both JIT compiled, not ahead-of-time compiled. This severely limits the type of optimisations that they can perform, because they have to do it "on the fly" during runtime.
I haven't dipped quill to write about Wayland yet because I don't want to complain. It's great that it's constantly getting better, and some day it'll be running on my machine. But every time I've used it I've had to switched back to Xorg within a day because numerous things didn't work. When wine finally works with Wayland, it'll be one less broken thing, and one step closer to an Xorg-free laptop.

Having said that, every time I switch back to xorg, I don't feel like I've lost anything. Are my eyes just too old and shit to notice Wayland's superiority?
How so? You mean along the Apple Music vertical?
Did You Forget to Review Your PR? and Other Habits Worth Unlearning
ok thanks. I have an under utilized box at Linode and think I could run it fairly inexpensively on Fly (since I would only run the server during prep and game time). There's a docker file out there so it should be pretty easy to bring up. Fly's current woes are giving me a bit of pause though.
Well there’s also energy drinks that are double jolt.
Always suspected this was happening, nice to see some data (and an open-source package) behind it. Great work!
> C# is currently lightyears ahead of Java in every way

Let’s not claim things that can’t be objectively proven. C# does have much more features than Java, but that is not necessarily a plus in case of a programming language. There are features that are definitely better, but I am not bought that the whole would be.

Plus, ecosystem-wise Java is much bigger and much more open-source. The runtime is also better on the JVM-side, though this is offset by C# expressing more low level details.
did you read what I quoted? It says the binary must be distributed with source code, or with an offer to distribute the source code. Lego did none of that.
Large scale data collection like this is good stuff. Sure, it can look like data for data's sake, but the downstream modelling from streetscape PM2/2.5 distribution into how it gets into people is there.

NO levels need to be collected alongside PM2 and CO/CO2. That stuff is really bad for you.

Insane amounts of inner-city schools without Air conditioning depend on open windows, kids sitting inside all-day next to busy streetscapes with diesel trucks roaring by. We know what this does to people.
For me the default thinking for SMS and calls are Scams unless proven otherwise. So, these days I never use SMS or take any calls from unknown numbers. I only return calls with voicemails.
When 90% of people are toiling in fields, there won’t be as many complaints I’d think because there would be a lot more equality among the 90%, vs the 50/50 split that we have today.

Have you ever had that situation where you think of someone, maybe someone you haven't seen for a while, then suddenly get a phone call from them? I can think of two explanations:

Ask HN: What will ChatGPT mean for a mediocre programmer like me?
I'm a mediocre programmer at best, but ChatGPT is highly likely to surpass programming ability for (some) humans.

Scenarios for some programmers:

- No longer in demand (or less demand)

- Data plumbers who simply plug pre-written code together

- Look elsewhere outside the field for a different role or career path

Your thoughts?
Well we already know there are some nominal losses, because the FDIC did take over SVB.
Here's a simple explanation: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34726719. Basically, with a sufficiently good lossy compressor, you can use entropy coding to encode the difference between the decompression output and the original file.
You should discuss with your leadership/skip-level. I'm not speaking for the entire company, strictly sharing how things happened during covid and what I know from my team/peers.

That said, if your entire team is back in the office, you will be a burden and at a disadvantage relative to the rest of the team. So your circumstances are yours but you should consider how you can best be successful and remain agile to the changing world pre, during and post-covid.
After the large pricing increases, the dumping of free apps, the lack of a facility to deploy to local (e.g. asia-pacific) regions without a "private space", and the astronomical prices for these private spaces, plus the complete lack of innovation, it's time for me to move on and learn a new vendor's offerings. Truly the last straw. Once a successful startup is purchased by one of these legacy giants, it really is the forbidding end of the invention that made the startup a winner to begin with.
This is awesome! I was actually looking for this very kind of thing the past couple of days. I was searching HN and Github for "vanilla js" and various "framework" queries but not finding anything. Thanks!

If you speak up too much, you wind up with bullshit work. Example: "refactoring" code for a project/dependency that isn't even used, writing tests just to hit that 99% coverage level, updating wiki articles that nobody reads. This is arguably worse than doing nothing.
> So what happens when one of your dependencies no longer exists on the Internet for one reason or another?

Can I rephrase it to something more realistic?

"So, what happens when one of your dependencies is no longer maintained, for one reason or another?"

or

"So, what happens when one of your dependencies conflicts with a newer version of another one of your dependencies, which you are keen to update for one reason or another?"
Would you say that things like Blind or Levels.fyi have had an impact on labor organization? I would argue that they have.
I can see where you're coming from, and I agree that it would be ideal if the system were better audited. If that were the case, I wouldn't have much to complain about. However, I'm not sure if things are actually improving with PSTN. In fact, it seems like the situation is getting worse and worse. My frustration stems from my lack of trust in the system, especially considering the high level of noise to ratio in PSTN. To me, the calls don't hold much meaning anymore, and it's frustrating that I receive so many scam calls - maybe only 1 out of 50 calls are legitimate.

The answer will either be some socialist rationing policy, or genocide.

Current "work for a living" systems only sustained the population because a human could be the most cost-effective way to get something done. Unless there are still tasks where human labor is the best option (research jobs maybe), this entire economic system will collapse.

Hey, heads up - you should probably look into that speaker a bit more. I'm not disregarding everything, obviously there's some truth to what he's talking about - but he's got a very warped view on marriage, relationships and women in general.

I think a lot of what that video latches on to is typically how our generation, and the generations before us have treated "dealing with problems". I think you'll find younger people will look at this video and go, "what the fuck".
Barack Obama has around 50% of his ancestors from Africa, most 'black' americans have a lot less than that. Example: if one of grand parents is black, one of your parents is, so you're black.

This is know as the one drop rule, if one of your ancestors is black you are black. So maybe 95% of your ancestors are from Europe and you are still considered as black.

Latin has even a fuzzier definition. Latin american countries have been build -as the US- with immigration. Immigrants from latin american countries are white, black, asian, etc... Or whatever classification the USA might invent. There is no less diversity in the rest of the Americas than in the USA.
I’ve been around this space for over a decade. Software that’s easy to change, tends to outlive the rest.

React has more staying power than almost any other JS library I’ve seen. And they’ve maintained backwards compatibility on par with Windows.

I couldn't get "designing data intensive applications" to explain to me how to design a graph database (from scratch, without using existing graph frameworks or technologies), but it only suggested reasons why graph databases are useful and the properties I have to keep in mind while designing it. I want to know how I can build one in practice.

Using a prompt like "Tell me how to build a graph database from scratch. Specifically, how to design the data model, implement the data storage layer, and design the query language." only gives a very vague answer. Sometimes it suggests using existing technologies.

Anyone know what I'm missing?
Another problem with it is that, unlike an ordinary rocket engine, it cannot be tested on a test stand. The injection of nuclear units, as well as the interaction of the unit with the pusher plate, are intimately affected by the surrounding environment (all that hot gas from previous explosions in the atmosphere). Getting this thing to work reliably for launch from Earth would be a nightmare.

It might be easier to test the engine in space, say with an upside down unit on the Moon.
Kind of neat that the configuration is the ground truth and that you can't update your interface without updating the documentation, if I understood it correctly.

A few things. You generally have to schedule your sales ahead of time. There’s often a window in which you can sell.

What was their selling pattern like in 2021? Probably similar, but even if it wasn’t, it doesn’t mean anything nefarious. The stock was at ATH in November. Anyone smart would be selling into ATH at a likely cyclical top.

And lastly, insiders had to know that the fed’s projected rate hikes would hit the bond portfolio hard. I knew this, and I’m not an insider.

So, in summary, this is a nothing burger.

That strongly depends on your local conditions. There's plenty of places where an indoor antenna has been fine for receiving local stations for decades, and there's plenty of places where it's not. Digital broadcasting can be a little better than analog broadcasting, in that a good enough signal gets you as good of a picture as an excellent signal, but consistency is still important, and getting your antenna clear of obstructions is still key.
What happens to TypeScript when ECMAScript brings it's core elements to the language?

No, whether they are safe or not depends on what you are using them for.

If you have to mark them to market, they aren't safe investments. If you can hold them to maturity, they are safe investments.
It has one of the largest internal rewrites in TS history (namespaces to ESM switch), so it's somewhat incredible its backwards-incompatibilities list is mostly minor/edge-cases.

(Which is to say that Typescript probably couldn't use semver if it wanted to because it has some extreme views on backwards compatibility, but also that this amount of codebase churn is absolutely semver breaking in the strictest semver senses even if it is mostly backwards compatible.)
I love preact but it definitely has hooks.
You're conflating 2% at world energy totals with $cost to anyone able to harvest the megawatts of heat energy close by.

Sure. It's only 2%. Two percent of Musks net worth would fix homelessness in San Francisco applied annually. [edit: Actually, it's 2x too much]

2% of cost savings on inputs to a product could translate to a 50% increase in net profit. "oh well. its only 2% so why bother..."

Not yet! Other improvements have been higher priority so far.

The traditional way for companies to learn this lesson are all gone (antitrust breakups, or Innovator's Dilemma-style disruption) since M&A is at an all-time high, antitrust isn't enforced, and companies can just acquire innovative startups.

I'm not even convinced that antitrust would fix it at this point. Someone might need to invent "therapy but for corporations" so big orgs can rid themselves of dysfunction (as if).

> So long as you're consistent with that view for all forms of intellectual property that seems a reasonable position.

the main point is that digital 'property' works essentially like culture, by people copying each other.

whereas non-digital property, i.e. real world property, works differently.

this distinction, in my view, changes the valid view for each two sorts of assets: digital, and non-digital.

> on the theory that that incentive encourages the development of creative works and enriches society more than it would have without those barriers

I don't agree with this view. But I'm thinking that there's another distinction between two types of persons and their applicable incentives. Maybe each kind of person needs different sort of incentive?

So in both cases the issue is to ignore a difference (in the way the asset works and) in the way to incentivize persons.

It isn't hard. They want a try at getting a little more profit in exchange for risk. Stress tests prevent them from taking those risks, therefore they lobby against them and don't do them unless compelled.
I think Greg Brockman falls into this category.

Chris Olah was at OpenAI but is now one of the founders of Anthropic but doesn't have any degree (he joined Google Brain after dropping out of his undergrad degree).
