You should really check out modern REST APIs.

Again, as an example, Directus supports doing everything you just said over both REST and GraphQL.

There are many others that do too, and lots of libraries out there to make it easy to add that capability to your own endpoints in Node or.net or whatever.

You may also want to take a look at HATEOAS and JSON:API and similar.

REST-like APIs have long had feature parity with GraphQL and also superior mechanisms for caching etc...
"Tax on a new car is 20%"

UK sales tax IS 20 for almost all goods! Why is this a reason? Can't think what other "regulations" there are in their characteristics other than emmissions?
Mastodon, like Twitter, is full of people saying extreme things for attention, but it differs from Twitter in that there's no one to make fun of those people, because that would be 'negativity'. For that reason, I tend to find Mastodon feeds absolutely insufferable.

Amazingly, there is a city almost as dominated by cyclists in Finland (don't remember how it's called atm). The city is plowing and de-icing all the bike paths on regular basis. They're also well-lit, as people's commutes during winter months are often in the dark.
It is necessary to know such things exist, but expected that their details will be looked up when relevant. Some people write low level concurrent code all the time, and they need to be up on all those details all the time. But many people only do so intermittently, and they only need to be aware of the existence of tricky details in the space, and have the capacity to get up to speed on them.
Those people stopped providing those goods or services decades beforehand though (retirement), while still spending money.
I live in London. We have three kids, no car and an electric cargo bike which they can all fit in. It's brilliant and all we need for getting around London. I've also used it for picking up furniture and building materials - such a versatile vehicle and much more enjoyable to use than a car.
It's coming. There's plenty of engineering experience framing with metal, Light Gauge Steel (LGS) framing has been around for decades. This is just adding a new use case.

I never said the "totally not a coup revolution" was an act of war, I said of course Russia would respond to it just like we would if the same thing happened in Mexico since it would go against our national interest. We almost went to war with the Soviets just for getting too close to us in Cuba and still sanction Cuba to this day because of it.

Large powers take great interest in their enemies being on their border - more news at 11.

Meanwhile, it is interesting that you don't support the Crimeans voting to be part of Russia in 2014, but fully support the overthrowing of the democratically elected government in 2014. Is that logically consistent in your mind?
yeah, it's being very slow for me too! I don't have monitoring on it as such, but there was an outage just today (https://status.openai.com/) so it's probably still unstable or something.

Maybe. Russia's population is falling and Putin is getting older to the extent that such a war may not have happened 5-10 years from now.

I am more worried about escalation, nukes, forever wars etc. Ukraine fighting for pre 2014 borders is one case that triggers this, among many others

> College is not a trade school, it was never meant to train you for a job with rare exceptions like medical professionals and they have a lengthy apprentice program.

The University of Bologna, the first university, had faculties of law, medicine and theology. That’s a trade school for lawyers, notaries, physicians and priests. While university has always been an alien place for anyone not of the bourgeoisie or higher it’s always been mostly about getting a good job afterwards. There were never enough people whose family had enough money to support them doing anything or nothing to support that many scholars. College is and always has been in large part about getting its graduates good jobs. Saying it’s not a trade school is primarily about snobbery. One of the ways it makes its graduates suitable for those jobs is by teaching them the habitus of university men (and nowadays women) so that they can’t be mistaken for the kind of people who do go to a trade school.
I for a long time was also wondering because so many of the streets look so much more charming. I only understood why once I read that there is almost no street parking in Japan. Once I knew that, it became obvious that that's at least part of the reason.
About not killing someone if you ride after drinking, Obviously it is ver difficult for a bike to directly kill someone other than the rider (as opposed to a car, where this is very easy), but a drunk cyclist can still hurt other people directly or indirectly (causing a bigger accident by forcing someone to avoid them).

Even on a city free of private cars, you’d still share the road with pedestrians, other cyclists, and public transportation.

And even if you really don’t hurt someone else, it’s terribly hard on a bus driver if they kill someone, even when it wasn’t their fault (my wife saw this first hand when someone committed suicide by throwing themselves under a bus).

So no, if you drink, just walk, take public transportation, or get someone else to take you home, but don’t ride a bike.

(edit: typos)
That's the way it should be.

If you can't make money without spamming ads from third parties, then you never had much of a business model.

yep, this level of censorship is a bit much in my opinion. the models should at least be able to create fiction reasonably.

My main transportation vehicle for anything under 15km is a bicycle. I go through rain, ice, snow — doesn't make a difference to me, I'll be cycling. Yes, I've cycled through storms, can't see what the fuss is about really.

I would still never cycle in London. It doesn't have proper cycle infrastructure, just some painted lines on roads designed for cars. You're taking your life in your hands there.

The car drivers are absolutely entitled to be pissed off with the city. Where I live (Netherlands) they made cycling the obvious choice, because it's cheaper, faster, and more fun than anything else. In London, it's more like it's being smashed down everyone's throats by force. Cycling isn't _better_ there, it's just the only economically viable option after the greedy money grab that is the "punish all drivers" policy for the last 20 years.
I didn't mean to defend SVB, I'm just taking issue with the conclusion that banks should not make 10-year investments and instead only focus on investments that have short-term returns. As if banks weren't already overly focused on that.
Not that often anymore (most winters there's at most one or two weeks with snow cover), but when it does, in many municipalities cycling paths get priority for snow removal.

Is the webpage content passed to ChatGPT, or is this more intended to be a way to easily use chatgpt?

On the first part: I've been trying to build a tool that parses webpages using ChatGPT, but I'm struggling to figure out the best way to pass the website content over. Some options I have tried:

* Raw HTML - expensive, and in a lot of cases doesn't fit in prompt input

* OCR - works better than I would have expected, but can struggle with certain fonts, and a lot of the webpage structure is lost
Yes it is.

If you are a Jew you are killed on site in Gaza and the West Bank. Palestinians are not allowed to sell their homes to Jews. They target Jewish children and teach their children to hate Jews.

OTOH Israel has 2.5M Palestinians living in peace with equal rights, including voting rights.

Yet the whole world watches and is outraged that Israel defends its citizens.

I think a good argument could be made that CS programs are too science oriented and too foundational in nature.

Most developers probably do not need data structures, OS, compiler type courses, but instead would benefit from higher level, engineering type courses that reflect modern application design and development.

Note: I am 3 decades out of school, and there have been some moves in this direction I can see from interviewing juniors. But not enough.
Theee are still bad areas, but it seems like after the pandemic hit the "borders" disappeared and it's more pervasive throughout the city.

Riding a bike drunk is asocial and a danger to yourself and others. You might like to think of it as less serious, just like people thought of drunk driving as okay if you were careful. It's a judgment call you make, but it is objectively more dangerous than when you are sober.

I am looking for a way to run Lotus Improv - which was a cool piece of software back then. Did anybody get this to run?
That's correct. Iirc, dpkg and apt were ported/compiled for iOS and then cydia was created by saurik which is basically just a frontend for apt. Unlike on e.g. Debian, paid repositories became a thing and some of those became first class citizens of cydia, or in other words, they were pre configured in cydia.
A lot of the business in jailbreaking always had to do with pirating and cracking apps and there were alternative app-stores offering paid apps for free. This practice was apparently more common in asian countries like china which led to some jailbreaks being supplied by chinese groups funded by alternative app store companies.
However do note that this was never embraced by cydia, third party repositories and stores were used for that.
Cydia and jailbreaking is how I got into computer science and learned how to host my own debian repository as a kid before I got into actual debian and linux.
I don't know how the jailbreak community is doing now and I have moved to android a long time ago, but I am eagerly awaiting the time when apple has to allow side loading, then I might become interested in iOS again.
Summed up NPR pretty well. I listen to NPR, but sometimes it gets a bit much on the partisan stuff. However, they are still my choice for anything news related. I noticed a big change in them around the 2016 election when they shut down their comment section.

Commuting to work on my bike through London was one of my highlights living there. So much fun and danger.
The problem is, we don't have laws and courts for ads. That's why we are all forced to walk around heavily armed and shoot down whoever gets less than two metres apart from us!

This is it -- colleges and universities are desperate for butts in seats ~> admissions standards slip ~> first year is remedial ~> lots of stuff gets dropped in later years.

Another major consideration: "CS degree" is a misnomer in the US. We have thousands of colleges and universities that vary from "best in the world" the "literally fraudulent". I've even come across a few small colleges where the CS department is staffed entirely by people with a few years of industry experience and an MS, who likely wouldn't even clear the bar for a senior eng role.
Discussions about alt stores for iOS always infuriate me. There are some legitimately useful things that can only be done outside of Apple’s strictures but the conversation usually ends up with people salivating over ways to pirate things. Incidentally, this is also the bulk of the sentiment I hear when sideloading on Android is discussed as well.

Pirating YouTube, Spotify and games as well as torrenting seemingly make up 90% of desires of an alt store. I expect this from 14 year olds, it’s frustrating to see it on HN. “I need to not only block all ads on YouTube but all sponsor reads too. They’re sooooo annoying!” Grow up. Content makers need to be reimbursed. YouTube Premium subscribers and sideloading enthusiasts have very little overlap.

The side loading crowd is its own worst ambassador. Entitlement to free entertainment is an ugly look. I want to hear about useful, legit stuff that Apple prevents from being on the App Store.
Is lazy the right word? There are only so many things you can learn in this lifetime, you must prioritise well what you spend your time on. Many things make sense to learn well only if they are important for what you are doing.

> - do not have to worry about car maintenance, parking tickets or theft;

While significantly less of a hassle than car maintenance, if you are riding a bike daily, you do now need to consider bike maintenance. And theft remains an issue in many cities for bikes as well.

> How long does it take to train for marathon?
Most marathon training plans range from 12 to 20 weeks. Beginning marathoners should aim to build their weekly mileage up to 50 miles over the four months leading up to race day.

So even untrained couch potatoes could learn in 4 month to run a marathon. (And indeed many do and test themselves that way.)

> societies with populations absorbed deep into their private sphere, with very little feeling for history

That doesn't really describe Taiwan. I'm still not sure of the point you're trying to make, but it seems like you are really trying to push down the people who managed to break free of the dictatorship imposed on them for 50 years by the mainlanders who came to Taiwan in 1949.

I'm not sure what your beef really is, but I have yet to read any reason for dismissing the decades old democracy that now exists in Taiwan. People my age might have been born under martial law, but most Taiwanese alive today have lived their whole adult life under this democracy. That's not incompatible with having knowledge of recent history, and Taiwan also has schools.

LLMs are fully deterministic in that sense: same input, same outputs.

Because full determinism is not always desirable, the researchers have implemented an explicit "temperature" parameter that you can use to inject randomness to the outputs. If you set that to 0.0 you will always receive the same output for the same input and model version.

Oh really? SponsorBlock is without a doubt one of the more popular OSS applications out there, yet the Patreon of its creator barely breaks the 200$ mark[0], which isn't even enough to sustain server costs for just the WebExtension version (source: same Patreon linked before). People just don't donate to FOSS, corporations do[1] and no corporation wants to fund something like SponsorBlock since it's existence is arguably anti-corporate (I'm not the ideologue for that spiel though, sorry to burst that bubble).

The 100$ yearly publishing fee just straight up is a wall that prevents the OSS iOS ecosystem from thriving. It's just high enough that it's hard to justify putting an App out there unless you want to make a profit from it.

Very few other road users are killed in collisions with pedal cyclists or pedestrians (5 and 6 respectively in 2021).
> As the Dutch like to say: there is no such thing as bad cycling weather, only bad cycling clothes.

The Dutch also like to drive, with 588 cars per 1000 people, higher than Denmark, Ireland, Sweden etc, and more miles per person than France, Spain, Italy, Poland, and 14% higher than the EU average

Unfortunately, in a group made up of myself and Jeff Bezos, our average net worth is $90 billion. Jeff does a lot of work in that average though. In the same way, it's very possible this person is in an area where the cost of life is absurdly high and the actual price of homes where they are is not reflected in the average, due to the dream that software engineering is massively profitable, which increases the cost of life, which makes the need for a massive salary higher, which...

Yes, these are alternatives to (and/or implemented on top of) shared-memory parallelism, and mostly much better to work with. To continue the cryptography analogy, it's using experts' cryptography libraries. Sometimes you do need to juggle the razor blades yourself (it's not actually turtles all the way down) but it shouldn't be done lightly.

None of those are foundation knowledge. Computability theory, algorithms, systems programming, complexity theory, discrete math, programming language design. Those encompass a foundation vs your hyper specialized examples.
