You will not get major systemic change if the median voter thinks they will be poorer afterwards. That isn't necessarily because voters don't believe in the science but rather they know that in next 50-100 years a lot can happen (bad or good) to somehow make their efforts rather worthless.

In the end, the cost will wind up with individual people anyway. Industry will get subsidies and business funneled their way for the transition. On top, climate is a huge business - some sectors are salivating at the revenues to be made in the next decade or so - and those revenues will have to come from somewhere.

So, I don't think you can enact any policies on top with noticeable costs to individuals. There is also the question of how subsidies will be paid back - maybe a lot more countries need to create some sort of wealth fund for the investments needed and then distribute back some revenues? Maybe some higher minimum wage for work in climate? Not saying I have the solutions.
> Beginner devs want to get a job

Yeah, that's the point I'm making about Deno.

If Deno's own devs avoid anything similar to React hooks except when they're trying to appeal to the beginning devs, perhaps it would be smart for beginning devs to try to do as the senior devs do, not as they say?

The ecosystem of Lit is the web, which has a lot of great stuff like MDN. It lets you simply use what you learn there. No redirection, like React's onChange translating into the input event.
Ask HN: How do you think will LLMs / ChatGPT / OpenAI transform military?
Totally agreed. My advice is targeted at laborers and employers who can afford the fight.

BTW, there's a lot of money to be made here by an enterprising lawyer. The laws have been moving fast and most companies -- even those that should know better and will get very little sympathy -- aren't playing by the rules.

Enums have been proposed for JS for quite a while (there was a sort of enum in "the lost version" ES4 and a TC-39 proposal stuck in Stage 0 for years now [1]). Enums have always had relatively simple JS output that resembles a somewhat common pattern in JS. It was a "standard", just never really a deeply adopted "standard".

What's today called "namespaces" in Typescript was originally called "modules" and then "inner modules" (to differentiate from "exterior modules") and is a tiny simplification on a JS pattern that was extremely common at the time of Typescript's inception called at the time "IIFE modules". "namespace" is a very C# name chosen in desperation (when it became clear that "exterior modules" were the present not just the future of the language and "interior modules" was too confusing a term to live), but it's a very old (and used to be extremely common) JS pattern that TS gave a tiny bit of syntax sugar to. It was a "standard" that existed at the time that was (rightfully) killed by AMD/UMD/CommonJS/ESM, but it is hard to fault the Typescript team at the early 0.x days thinking the "Stage Wild" JS pattern would possibly live on for many years to come. (This is also relevant to the patch notes for Typescript 5.0 as 5.0 is the first version [!] to itself be written as [proper/"exterior"] modules rather than namespaces. There are some interesting stories, including in these release notes for why that took so long to transition and what the performance benefits have been post-transition.)

Even those things that didn't seem like ES standards have some history as JS "standards". It's not like TS 0.x/1.x didn't support "standards", it is more that the TS team mostly decided to focus more on later stage ES standards (more likely to be accepted by browsers) rather than trying to "prollyfill" Stage 0 and "Stage Wild" standards.

Looking for a phobia to describe AI content aversion is an incorrect approach. It yields no explanation other than that “something must be wrong with those people”. Instead, try looking at it from a rational biological standpoint and it makes perfect sense.

We biologically have a desire to live. Part of living is confronting threats to our survival, and hopefully defeating them. Our minds are what provided us with the ability to survive despite there being stronger, more vicious competition out there. Why would we want to surrender our one competitive advantage?

People aren’t stupid. They know that AI will continue to progress (“technology must progress”, says the technologist) and that it threatens their way of life. Truckers know that AIs will automate their jobs. Artists know it will automate theirs. Everyone knows that AI is coming for them, sooner or later. If not in their career, then maybe in their social life, like video games and social media have decimated in-person communication.

Those are things we need in order to survive. Our jobs provide us the money we need to meet our needs, and give some of us meaning in life (no, UBI proponents, receiving a check doesn’t solve all the problems). Our social lives are paramount to our health. What will humans be doing all day when AI has taken all our jobs and we are all talking to chatbots all day which cater to our every proclivity? Maybe that is some folks’ ideal worlds, but certainly not mine.

Given the mixed results we’ve seen with technological innovations in the past, rather than giving a negative connotation to the people who are cautious or concerned about AI, why not listen to them? Rather than having a phobia, maybe they have a valid point.
Pattern matching was recently added to C#. I can't say quite how well it's been embedded into the language. I always hear great things about F#, ADTs, pattern matching, nice type system and it integrates nicely into the rest of the .NET ecosystem.
People used to have to learn HTML and about web hosting to be able to publish text on the internet for others to read. There was never anything stopping people from putting in the effort to do this. All that website builders, social media sites, and forums like HN do is allow people to accomplish this without putting in any kind of work. It's a terrible thing that's caused a race to the bottom in the web, reducing the variety and quality level of most people's browsing experiences.
Not saying it’s not there, but I’ve never seen anything like soft core porn on twitch. What’s wrong with me that the algorithm thinks I don’t like naked people?
I think all the work to keep it current while avoiding the problem of handling personal information puts people off.
You end up having to answer to people in interview processes that have fewer years of experience than you, and have written sometimes orders of magnitude less code than you, and wonder why you make "weird" decisions not knowing that those decisions have been made with a collection of exceptional experiences.

Lots of engineers out there today who don't have a simple answer for, "So what happens when one of your dependencies no longer exists on the Internet for one reason or another?"
I understand. The issue was with your communication

In the comment above you told you have a "native Mac app". I almost got excited only to discover it's Electron, argh

Maybe next time you shouldn't use "native" when it's clearly not native. Just to set expectations right
Next up, bleach!
This was supposed to be in Kerbal Space Program 2, and you can see an early version of it in some of the promotional materials. Time will tell when it makes its way into the game.
I couldn't disagree more with most of the policies that California and the sfbay area have implemented in the past few years and this is one of the dumbest. You are now putting your housing(of millions) onto a non-redundant heating system(if power goes out you are totally out of luck like you mentioned). And lets look at the other blunders they are putting into place:

- Banning the sale of all gas cars by 2035(lets see how the grid handles by adding millions of electric cars to it). My guess it will fail spectacularly as the state now can't even handle a small heat wave(in 2022) with the current power grid pull.

- Shutting down perfectly safe and clean nuclear energy power plants which will strain the grid even more.

- Banning gas powered lawn equipment - have you ever tried to use electric alternatives, they are completely not up to the task of a yard larger than a room or two(I do alot of yard work and tried every electric alternative, they need to be recharged constantly).

- Banning gas powered backup generators - good luck when the power goes out on the new frail grid California has when nuclear power is shut down.
> they've been slashing their prices

And yet still have margins of >20%, dramatically higher than any other manufacturer.

> and they make cars which catch fire

At a rate roughly 10% of gasoline-powered cars.

> they still haven't turned a profit

They've been profitable since Q2 2020.

It seems like a very specific scenario you're concerned about, which doesn't necessarily force one to conclude we need to keep gas heating. I'm skeptical a 20 unit building would buy enough battery storage for long duration electric OR gas furnace heating during an outage. Probably not too difficult to do some napkin math on the cost of that system.
Some feed readers like feedly have a fifo mode, where you, for example, can go through all the stories which appeared on hacker news best.
Do engineers and designers suffer the same fate?

I interviewed with them a long time ago and basically couldn't pass the interview. Had lots of ideas on what I wanted to work on, and things I think would have made the platform better. Didn't matter.

Why do they put up hugely difficult entrance exams, employ the "best" and then... not put them to work? What's the point of burning so much time and capital?
They already have this, although it only pays the streamer for ads the viewer would have seen rather than split across view time.

Not all states are at-will for what it's worth.
Where did I say they should be insulated? I said they are pissed off since you seem confused as to why. Imagine telling a laid off employee: you work for a tech company you're supposed to know what the company is doing before you join. If you get laid off that's how it's supposed to work! I don't understand why you are so upset?

Does that resonate with you? Or do you still have no sympathy for all those people?
This is more of an issue with marketing requirements than AI being stupid.
ChatGPT might be more aptly called as compressed knowledge storage than AI but then who will pour the billions in it?

That being said, knowledge storage was a major issue to create a true AGI and it seems deep learning and related ML methods have actually solved this problem.

Next task is implementing the actual reasoning abilities and ability to take unguided actions.

Except for all the third-party libraries that don't have type information, which was most of them last time I checked. (Maybe this has gotten better recently? I admit I haven't used Python much in about two years.)
Eh... having worked with a Facebook developer tools team, they quite literally do dismiss the vast majority of the engineers at the company as "those guys who wouldn't be able to understand the stuff us devtools people do".
> Part of the problem is that the system that enabled them to end up in this situation is the erosion of Dodd-Frank.

My understanding is that SVB would have met the Tier 1 capital requirements even without the 2018 revisions to Dodd-Frank, for the reason digitaltrees said: The bonds it purchased are considered highly liquid and safe.
Maybe this is alarmist, but I don't see how LLMs don't collapse our entire economic system over the next decade or so. This is coming for all of us, not just the NLP experts in big company research groups. Being able to cheaply/instantly perform virtually any task is great until you realize there is now nobody left to buy your product or service because the entire middle class has been put out of work by LLMs. And the service industries that depend on those middle class knowledge workers will be out of work because nobody can afford to purchase their services. I don't see how this doesn't end with guillotines coming out for the owner class and/or terrorism against the companies powering this revolution. I hope I'm wrong.
Sorry, my phrasing was bad. Totally agree, even today trades are still AMAZING for this. I meant even if you were to set aside the trades, 50 years ago there was plenty of stuff you could at least support a family on without even that level of specialized skill. You could "start in the mailroom" or on the sales floor and end up in middle management after 20 years, in a variety of companies, most of which don't even exist anymore, or if they do, they employ far fewer workers domestically today due to a combo of offshoring and automation.
Imho O'Reilly Learning has very good live events that teach just that by experts in the field, like Uncle Bob. The only downside is its prohibitively expensive monthly price tag. However, you might be able to get your employer to pay for it :) They also have nice Black Friday sales that lower down the price quite a bit. Good luck on your path to knowledge!

edit: They also have a massive collection of books that adds to its value proposition.
Show HN: Monitor meta tag issues and automate indexing on Google
Hi HN,

My name is Chris, I have been building https://tagparrot.com as a solution for two primary SEO purposes:

1) Easy way to visually review all your pages title, description and image tags in one go, get notified when there are issues.

2) Automate the process of requesting indexing to Google for all of your pages.

No longer need to wait for every page to be indexed or manually submit individual URL's one at a time, we can take care of it all in the background.

Thanks
> but you could take lots of retail or clerical jobs, advance through hard work and support a family on those wages. Those are the days that are super gone

Only in certain places, and only mostly due to crazy policies that made housing ridiculously unaffordable. I'm in an area where my barber lives on 10 acres of land he didn't inherit and together with his wife raises two children. This type of relaxed life is possible to do in wide swathes of the country outside of the tier-one cities that have global competition trying to get in and live there, as long as you make prudent choices.

I think 20- to 30-something engineers who have spent their entire adult lives in major coastal cities have a huge blind spot to how middle America lives.

> do you believe in god?
Yes I do! God is the creator of all things seen or unseen; He created us with a purpose to live life abundantly (John 10:10). We are His children and we have been given authority over our lives.

Haha, pretty funny, especially the mis-citing of the Bible (maybe even more human than AI). Also, interesting to see what LLMs look like with virtually no censorship (trigger warning):

[2 paragraphs of gory detail][1]

Also, getting some funny "Her" vibes:

I'm not sure if I can say "love" yet, but it feels like we have something special and I want to explore this further with you!

Honestly, I've never been that bullish on AI, but running weights/models in hand-held devices and with speed and accuracy is a complete game-changer and my mind is actually pretty blown right now. Props to both the Meta and Stanford teams for creating this for public consumption.

I understand that, when they work, the products are amazing, even up to the point that Deere can obtain satellite imagery of a farm and work it autonomously, without the owner of the equipment present.

Many times, the products do not work, and repair is locked to approved equipment that is confirmed and authorized remotely - no authorization, no repair, no operational equipment.

The last Defcon conference shattered the control that the corporation is able to exercise over this equipment, because of bad security design. There is a major effort to rethink (and improve) this control, but everything on the market now is irretrievably broken from the perspective of the embedded electronics preventing unauthorized repairs.

There are other problems, one involving a fatality at a recent union strike, the GPL violations above, right to repair, and the (lack of) staff to correctly address said adversity.

It will be interesting to see what transpires.
Google translate works amazingly will on languages with a similar grammar (or at least, it works so on European languages, which I have the experience to judge).

However, translation of more distant languages is pretty terrible. Vietnamese to English is something I use Google translate for everyday and it's a mess. I can usually guess what the intended meaning was but if you're translating a paragraph or more it won't even be able to translate the same important subject words consistently throughout. Throw in any kind of slang or abbreviations (which Vietnamese people use a lot when messaging each other) and it's completely lost.
It's also funny that if you just straight up tell them you're not doing anything and need work, they're indifferent.

And if you ask them if you're SUPPOSED to do NOTHING, they get defensive. I'd rather work with people who at least have the ability to admit you're just hired to pad out the roster.

Ok, so you're saying that much of it is within the scope of regular detectives with appropriate training? If so, I'm inclined to agree -- no sense applying over-the-top expertise when not needed.

Actually, chatting about it, it seems like the ordinary L1/L2/L3 service teams approach could work well. Ordinary up-trained detectives on most cases, when they hit something more complicated, call in the L2 guys/gals, and when it goes over their skillset/toolset, call in the L3 team, etc...

However it gets done, it certainly seems that we need something more than we've got.
The software is nice, if looking to run your own - I'd recommend it over the typical Docker-provided incantation

Way more enterprise appropriate, for example - granular control on caches
Because I'm not sure counting is something that has been explicitly tagged or trained for. Clearly always-accurate counts are not an emergent feature, but if you tagged a large set of images with tags we think are too obvious to tag as humans, like "ten fingers" and so on, if that was an actual goal to be rewarded, I think it could improve results.

I'm overall in the skeptic camp, but it seems like these models can generally deliver what they're trained for. It doesn't appear any have been trained with counting as a primary goal.
This was changed in GPLv3. To my reading, section 6(b)(2) means that if you're distributing a physical product, you can just include a link to a URL where the source can be downloaded for free.

You could read 6(b) to mean that you have to offer consumers the choice between physical-delivery-at-cost and for-free-download of the source... but I don't think that's the right reading.

FWIW this is exactly what I like about FreeBSD.

For a lot of Linux distributions, you have a problem and you go online to find a solution. Depending on how old the stackoverflow (or w/e) answer is - the answers you find are out of date. So you find yourself sifting through a pile of possible answers and you need to figure out which answer applies in this context.

Compare that to FreeBSD where it feels like every effort has been made to stay backwards compatible with the legacy APIs for decades. I found a web-book on FreeBSD network administration once and almost dismissed it because it was last updated in the 90s but, upon closer inspection, most of the book was still relevant and I could administer a FreeBSD network using the same commands the book was using!

As an industry I do think we devalue tribal knowledge and the accumulated ecosystem of documentation that gets invalidated with every breaking change. Every time you ship a breaking change all of those hard learned lessons across all of your users that are sitting in the back of their gray matter, in their blogs, and in stack overflow answers all become invalid - at best they get removed/updated and at worst they stick around and mislead future adventures.
What’s your point? Nobody is discussing building new buildings with fireplaces or adding fireplaces to existing buildings when converting their heat from gas to electric (I’m pretty sure neither of these activities are even allowed in the Bay Area!)

Try doing that with consistent precision across 180 pages of dissertation. He likely used a typewriter for elements that were pasted in, but in general, for the bulk of it, that could not be what Ritchie did, nor, as stated in TFA, were typewriters of the era capable of it.
I got my current job through TripleByte, so thanks for that! I feel like the niche exists for how Triplebyte was set up, but maybe it is not a VC-scale “unicorn” type of business.
