After using Vue for a long time, React felt like an unforgiving piece of cr*p. As time went on and Vue was getting its Composition API while kind of moving in the overall direction of React, I decided to try class-based components and didn’t like them that much (this was a couple of years ago). Recently, I went through these new docs and read and applied the stuff I learned, and I can say it was a surprisingly nice experience. I just needed to get friendly with a composition-ish, functional-ish and JSX-ish way of thinking. Alone the thought of HTML-in-JS instead of JS-in-HTML made me crazy back then (it still kinda does). But when you get the hang of building actual user interfaces instead of just websites, it makes a lot of sense. If you’re comfortable with javascript while daring to take the less-opinionated route as opposed to an all-out framework, you'll simply feel the power!

Anyhow… To this day, I still think it’s an unforgiving, crazy beast of a library for a weekend hobbyist developer like me. But I kinda like it now and in big part it’s thanks to hooks, functional components and these new docs. Good job team, and congratulations on finally getting this live!
Weak-minded narcissist wants the world to revolve around them. More news at 11.

Shame on them for using their disability to try to backstop a weak argument and for attempting to normalise the continued vandalism of literary works they have no rights to.
They are. Brands are starting to stream directly. Game companies especially.

If not streaming directly, they're in channels where the streamer is playing their game. They'll give out DLC codes so that the streamer plays the game longer and the game studio makes a mint off the back of the viewers. Content created.

A 20 quid DLC key gifted to the streamer will buy you an hour long gameplay ad easily, usually way longer.

There's so many streamers out there they just sort by view count and cherry pick the brand safe ones. They don't need to change their criteria.

Only in the senate and some provinces, which aren't that influential; I'm willing to bet that they'll do a lot less well in the parliamentary elections: people who feel strongly have more incentive to vote.

They were never "ignored"; this entire issue has been playing since the 80s. Every time any measures are announced there are protests and measures get watered down or delayed.
What do you think they do with _unlimited_ Paid Time Off usage numbers?

Boss at review time "well Bob only took 5 days off last year, you're at 15... Do you think maybe you could be a better team player? It's not fair that you're taking triple of what your team members are. Think of them and the stress they have when you're on PTO."

Excerpt from one of my actual reviews. I quit a week later.

Edit: I joined the second week of January 2 weeks after unlimited PTO went into affect. Before unlimited <5 years got 15 days PTO.
All banks are suffering, buy some are suffering more than others. It's also unclear how the Fed's actions are going to impact the situation going forward. Here are my unanswered questions:

1. What's going to happen to risk management at banks now that the government has shown themselves willing to backstop all deposits. Is there really any reason to spend money hedging risk?

2. What's going to happen to the bond market? Bonds are generally understood to change in price in a way that keeps yield equal to currently available fixed-income securities. However, with the Fed's new BTFP, the value of bonds is always par, apparently.

3. What are the banks going to do with their new liquidity? The Fed is essentially giving banks a fully collateralized $1 in exchange for $0.80. That's a lot of free money.

> I dunno, seems like we're heading toward a sort of "pollution of the idea atmosphere" where we get a ton of new/remixed ideas dumped into the world that haven't passed through that initial filter of a human vetting them

We already have that. Observe: ahem “It is an industrial capacity, that many people like the Reddit poem person who does the cow thing. And everyone delighted in the nonsense of words that are sense.” Or, perhaps you want something on-topic? “Your ideas about ideas are mere ideas. Ideas that are ideas are ideas, but these ideas are not ideas. lol!” Perhaps an unoriginal, unfiltered synthesis of some good ideas? “It is a truth universally acknowledged that a potato peeler could save you 5 Altairian dollars a day.”

We don't need AI to produce unoriginal, unfiltered internet comments. Certain YouTube comments sections provide a great example (though the problem with YouTube comments isn't as bad as people tend to make out). We humans already have social mechanisms to keep the good ideas and ditch the bad ideas, even when many of the humans aren't bothering to filter their own output.
You can't just command someone to do something and not explain why, otherwise, obviously, they're not going to follow the command.

The argument would be for the purpose of convincing me that the command has any merit, right? After all, I'm not employed by the guy who made the command and he's not a government officer, so why should I listen?
I'm aware of that. I, like everyone else in the UK, googled it at the start of the pandemic. My point was more that the linked article was from the BBC, and this is a phrase that is basically legally meaningless in the UK.
No.

First SVB was bailed out by FDIC funds which all banks pay into.

Second, to say 'privatized gains, socialized losses', you are assuming that banking is like gambling, with no value being created through the banking process.

Even if banks were being very very safe, they would still make money by lending out deposits. (Whether that is good or bad for society, is another question, which I would argue the answer to would be bad).

Even with Google, and having used Midjourney since v3, I still don't have enough context to understand what the advance is here.

Midjourney could do hands before, just not consistently. That doesn't seem to have changed. So is it that MJ can now do more realistic hands inconsistently? Or did consistency get better without achieving reliability?

I can't make this not sound sarcastic, but I'm trying very hard to ask this earnestly: I never had trouble getting too many hands into a picture with v3 or v4. Is v5 getting the correct number of hands more frequently now? Is that it?
Tell Hacker News: Pipl.com Silently adds a $500 monthly minimum for API Use
I got email from Pipl support to re-check my use case and ensure it is inline with their acceptable use policy [1], after explaining what I used the product for they dropped this in the same email thread with no other context.

>Thank you for providing that information! I do want to advise that there is now a $500 monthly minimum in place for all of our API customers. If you do not perform the required number of queries each month to bring you to the $500 threshold, you will still be charged the full $500. If you are okay with this, we can accept a written consent over email and I will have our billing team put that minimum in place so you can continue to use our API.

They used to have no minimum and you would be billed per use monthly. It looks like they have removed all mention of pricing from there website as well. You can see other sites have captured the price [2].

I have no problem with a minimum for a service like this, but $0 to $500 per month is outlandish.

The bond is impaired in that sense. The concept of present value isn't made up just for fun, it's because the value of money depends upon the time at which it is available. $10 in 10 years is obviously worth less than $10 right now, which is not only captured by present value calculations but it's also plainly and intuitively visible if you make the chain of associations of high interest rates -> higher price levels -> lower monetary value. So yes, if your bond sells for $87, you can be reasonably sure that $87 is the value of all of its payments back to you. It doesn't matter that the nominal payouts sum to $100, because they are denominated in future dollars which are worth less than present dollars! You need to cover the shortfall when you move those payments from the future to now!
Two solutions that don't seem to be mentioned:

1. Let any user have how many "free teams" they want, but restrict the image size (under 1GB?) and/or downloads (under 1,000/month?). Maybe let the community vote for open source images exempt from this restriction.

2. Run a free link redirect service: user registers my-team on hub.docker.com, links my-team/my-image with their preferred registry my-registry.com, client-side docker pull my-team/my-image resolves automagically to my-registry.com/my-team/my-image.
How is that an optimistic take? Us nerds love our symbolic and deterministically predictable computer interfaces, which are so much more reassuring and intellectually stimulating than the messy real world. ;)

Every one of those things you cited, when you remove the levels of indirection, is oriented towards making money.

So, yeah. If I didn't have to make money I also wouldn't do those things. But I have to, so I do.

It depends on your view of "progress." Early in the pandemic, people thought you really could print money indefinitely and MMT was right. Now people see that classical notions of inflation are still valid.
> having an internal team makes no sense.

Disagree. I was on one of these R&D/prototyping teams running ML experiments and you're right, it was the company wanting to present itself as future-leaning, ready to adapt, and I would say that at this point it was a good move to have employees who understand where the tech is going.

Companies with internal teams that are able to implement open source models are in a much better negotiating position for the B2B contracts they're looking at for integrating GPT into their workflow, they won't need GPT as much, if they can fallback on their own models, and they will be better able to sit down with the sales engineers and call bullshit when they're being sold snake oil.

This isn't true when your software runs on thousands or millions of users' machines.

It's common for consumer software to use 10, 100, or even 1000 times as much memory as is needed. If that forces every user to buy $200 of extra RAM, it is definitely more costly than developer time.

Besides, what else is developer time getting spent on? Take Slack for example. For the past 8 years or so, Slack -- who employs thousands of engineers, mind you -- has spent developer time on two things: 1) breaking the UI for no reason, and 2) reducing memory usage. Only one of those things has benefited me as a user!
There is all kind of ways, but farmers will tell you it also lowers yield and thus costs them money.

I wish I could upvote this more.
I completely agree with this. During the past few months I started writing a lot more, first in Apple Notes, then in Obsidian. I used to write some blog posts, but then I started writing down everything I learn, cool code snippets I come up with, the results of a random benchmark I've run, or a summary of the article I just read. It's been great, even if you don't go back to those notes.

I would also encourage people to publish their writing[0][1], even if they feel incomplete. I've started doing it, and it feels liberating. You don't have to put a ton of pressure on the quality or potential usefulness, just write and share.

> many companies would not like that

And many companies come here when they get a surprise bill after a buggy push. Not having a spend limit is more often than not a complaint. Notice I wrote "offer" not "switch to". They don't have to be mutually exclusive and big corporations could still get limitless spending if they want.

Class components are still the only supported way to create an error boundary. Other than that, they are pretty much dead, yes.
Given that Google Translate already exists, what is even the point of all of this?

Because for the other 20 percent it's plainly -not- good enough. It can't even produce an acceptable business letter in a resource-rich target language, for example. It just gets you "a good chunk of the way there."

And there's no evidence that either (1) throwing exponentially more data at the problem with see matching gains in accuracy or (2) this additional data will even be available.
Most don't; we need commodity RAM to get denser and cheaper -- at $2/GB for cheap RAM, a terabyte is still $2000, and that'll require an expensive motherboard to support.

Otherwise, fewer people have access and progress is slower.

I would be surprised if 5% of college-completing or comparably-educated adults got it. A vanishingly small percentage of people know anything about formal logic. And of those only some fraction internalized it well enough to be facile with it.

If there's one thing more widespread than innumeracy, it's the equivalent wrt syllogistic reasoning.
I would guess that those 2% of users account for more than 2% of the load on Docker Hub. Open source projects on a regular release cadence would push images more frequently than your average user, and those public images from the projects themselves were probably used in FROM statements more frequently than other images.
I literally include a concrete example in the comment you are replying to.

Threads are a function of the environment, and are available in TS and other compiles-to-JS languages:

Node.js: https://nodejs.org/api/worker_threads.html

Browser: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Workers...

However, threads are very rarely needed. The common use case in other languages is I/O, and JS environments handle that with async I/O—a superior choice, IMO.
If they don't like that, they don't have to enable spending limits.
Also, if we expect government regulators to protect bank executives from their own incompetence and make sure no banks ever go under, this brings up the question of why we need bank executives at all. Just let the government run the banks or, since there would no longer be competition between banks, roll all deposits and assets into one big government-run bank. An alternate, roughly equivalent scheme is to shut down all private banks and give everyone a Fed account.

Kind of like the Monty Hall problem. Some people intuitively get it. They understand that opening one door does not change the odds that they picked the wrong door at first. Some people need to see it played out or have it explained. But once they understand, it's fine.

Hey! They decided to do invoicing, after all! When they couldn't find a way to take purchase orders in the initial license obligation round and we were going to have to go through a third party licensing service to pay, we did a little math, and realized that it was cheaper to let one of the guys on the DevOps team create and maintain the customized WSL install option, with the bonus of steering the developers to our internal registry out of the box, because we really don't want devs pulling stuff directly from Docker Hub without any sort of traceability, much less (shudder) pushing anything there. The prospect of having to manage hundreds (or more) of user accounts with SSO "on the roadmap, pinky swear" pushed the math over the top.

Many months later, this is still proving to have been a good call.

Moral of the story: do not try to shove a category change on large corporations without having basic things large corporations routinely require in order to give you money, especially if replacing you requires a lot less spend on extra internal labor and material than you're demanding to be paid.
