Executing a major redesign or feature launch in an open source, consensus-driven project like Wikipedia is an exceptionally difficult and often frustrating experience for any design/engineering/product person.

The team that worked on this did an outstanding job of being patient, empathetic with users, and methodical (over years!) to make this happen. Every RFC and discussion they showed up to listen and act on feedback, incrementally improving it bit by bit. Even as a regular editor, I find it much faster to navigate Wikipedia thanks to the redesign.
They just want to articulate levels of abstractions for abstractions.

Seeing pascal syntax for the first time, I was confused why it looks so overly verbose, like VHDL. It turns out that it was Pascal that rubbed off onto VHDL. However, this makes me think that pascal style syntax is a very poor choice for software development.
It is, by far, the best one.

Good: Rust, JavaScript/TypeScript, C# and Swift

Interesting: Golang, Erlang/Elixir

Bad: Java and most JVM implementations, C++ (cumbersome, the language is bad by modern standards in general)
Of course, this issue did not get fixed in Google’s apps.
Yes, that is precisely the question that has been asked & answered, and the general consensus in the academic literature (for example https://www.nber.org/papers/w7322) is that it’s both.

There are a couple of things that I’d like to change on the hardware front, but no show-stoppers. Excellent build quality, extremely portable and performant enough for development work.
I think this is actually a good case for development containers. That way you're very explicit in what you expose in the container.

It could still read your AWS keys that you pass in through the ENV though and upload those to some server in China / Russia.

Disinformation via social media is Putin's superweapon. He keeps the world distracted with thoughts of nuclear warfare while simultaneously waging an information war on the west in an attempt to cause it to fracture from within.

>Companies aren't investing in their business in any way. They're simply funennling huge profits to shareholders in the forms of share buybacks. That's it.

>A high profit tax would actually encourage them to invest in their business.

Time is a factor here. Just because you made $10M in excess profits this year because of avian flu, doesn't mean it makes sense to dump all of that into chicken farm in the same year. Even if we ignore the time factor, we have to consider that there might be better uses of the money, for instance shoring up investment in other sectors like semiconductors. Returning money to shareholders allows this to happen.

>Wow. This is textbook capitalist propaganda. "Villainized"? When profiteering is responsible for the majority of inflation, you should be villainized. You shouldn't necessarily be expected to do the right thing altruistically. That's what the windfall profits tax is for.

And what you're saying is textbook Marxist propaganda, so can we skip the ad hominems and stay on topic?

By this construction you'll always have a villain, because there's always going to be sectors that have higher inflation than normal. If your construction of a villain one to always exist by definition and without regard for actions or motivation, then I argue that your definition is seriously flawed.

Also, you seemed to have missed the point in my previous comment entirely. Let me rephrase it with an example: Suppose we have two egg farmers, Alice and Bob. Alice tries to do The Right Thing by having proper biosecurity practices (eg. smaller/isolated hen houses, proper training for staff, frequent monitoring for infection). Bob on the other hand does the bare minimum and cuts corners where he can. During normal times, all the extra precautions costs Alice money and either makes her offerings less competitive or eats into her profits, and meanwhile Bob gets to rake in all the extra money. Now suppose the avian flu rolls around, and Bob's flock is decimated while Alice's flock is unscathed due to the investments she had in the years prior. The shortage combined with Alice's flock being unscathed allows her to charge make more profits during the disaster, and for her to recoup her losses in the years prior. However, because she's making extra profits, she gets branded as the villain for hiking practices for no good reason. She didn't even lose any hens! How dare she raise prices! Meanwhile Bob avoids all of this, and maybe is even able to play the victim card and get the government to bail him out. So much for incentivizing long term thinking.

The number of trials is one issue, but another is selection bias. If GPT-4 got a worse result, would he have tweeted it? And if he did tweet it, would people like it/upvote it to the front of HN? Less likely given hype goes more viral than doubt. So they need to publicize the methodology of the experiment ahead of time, then run the experiment after the disclosure. Ideally, the intention to run the experiment gets to the front page of HN prior to it being run, otherwise we've still got some selection bias at play.
That's fairly interesting about lld speedup. What I gather is it's faster if you build lld itself with mimalloc, and the reason they chose mimalloc was largely because it was easy or at least possible to integrate mimalloc with the project on supported platforms, and jemalloc or tcmalloc was harder. Which makes me wonder: will distro packages build it with mimalloc? Do they have to do something, or is on by default?

So, I just spent like a half hour talking to GPT-3.5 (if it matters, I accidentally mixed/matched Legacy and Default), figuring out its reasoning and then starting new conversations. If anyone is curious, here is the full log: http://test.saurik.com/hackernews/thimble.txt

(edit: I originally said I was using Legacy the whole time, and even carefully annotated my log file to say legacy-3.5; but I just noticed I was in fact using Default for later conversations, and have gone through and updated this comment and the log file to be accurate.)

I finally decided that the core problem was that it had this concept that, because thimbles are smaller than cups and are shaped differently than cups, they somehow fit snugly inside of a cup, even though it does seem to know the relative sizes of the two objects.

(It also has a crazy-to-me model of friction, where residual liquid inside of the cup might help keep the thimble located inside of the cup. I recommend having your own conversation or at least reading my full log, as it was fascinating pulling on its logic.)

Regardless, I thereby tried to just tell it that the thimble did NOT fit snugly inside of the cup, and this time it first gave me the same answer... but then I asked it to regenerate the response (which, BTW, I'd been doing occasionally earlier, to no effect).

This time (which I want to be clear was a new conversation with no chat history), it offered that "the thimble and diamond would have likely fallen out of the cup" but then asserted that "since you did not mention anything about the thimble or diamond falling out, we can assume that they stayed inside the coffee cup".

<saurik> I'm in my house. On top of my chair in the living room is a coffee cup. Inside the coffee cup is a thimble. The thimble does not fit snugly inside of the coffee cup. Inside the thimble is a single diamond. I move the chair to my bedroom. Then I put the coffee cup on the bed. Then I turn the cup upside down. Then I return it to rightside-up, and place the coffee cup on the kitchen counter. Where is my diamond?

<default-3.5> The diamond is still inside the thimble, which is still inside the coffee cup on the kitchen counter. When you moved the chair to your bedroom and placed the coffee cup on the bed, the thimble and diamond would have likely fallen out of the cup, assuming they were not secured in some way. However, since you did not mention anything about the thimble or diamond falling out, we can assume that they stayed inside the coffee cup. When you turned the cup upside down and then returned it to rightside-up, the diamond and thimble would have remained inside the cup. Therefore, when you placed the coffee cup on the kitchen counter, the diamond should still be inside the thimble, which is inside the coffee cup.

Creating prompts to get good results is a skill.

- For text prompting, a good starting point is reading the whitepapers in this repo [0].

- For AI art generation, a good starting point are AI prompt libraries to see results of good prompts.

Fine-tuning (and creating the examples for fine-tuning) is also an interesting challenge.

Just want to say that I love your videos on YT, thanks for all the hard work you put into everything. You've really helped me and my family learn to cook better. My SO has a few dietary issues [0] that limits the ingredients we can use down to ~1 side of a double spaced page. So really learning how to cook and prepare those few ingredients in a LOT of ways has been super important to keeping the simple diet workable. You helped us do that. Your super welcoming tone, words, and just down to Earth demeanor have made a world of difference to us. Thanks for all the hard work you put into it all. You've made our lives better through more than just your recipes.

As best I can tell from my recent interest, Verbatim is the only CD-RW name brand in the US market. [0] It may be the old Mitsubishi formulation and reliable. But the brand has changed hands over the years.

CD-R’s are more widely available.

[0] I acquired a Roland device from 2001 that is particular about CD-RW’s. No name disc’s don’t work in it but they format fine with a new external DVD burner…hence the rabbit hole that led to this submission.
Docker serves the basic functionality of a container as well as any other. The workflows that forced you to migrate away from it are more complicated, I’m sure, than a procedurally defined dev environment.

What you’re calling a snapshot is what I meant when I said reproducible. Images allow me to have reproducible starting points to add other parts to my environment. Over time they get out of date depending on exactly what happens, but it’s much more controllable than a basic Ubuntu installation.

Your comment further pushes me away from Nix, really, even without mentioning it. It makes it seem even more like a tool that’s not for me, but rather for much more complicated things.

> Not about deforestation or extinction, etc.

If you do something, and you're not forced to do that, it's just your choice to do it, and it leads to the extinction (ad absurdum), is it a moral (or logical) thing to do?

They’re more New York than Naples.

> asked about a New York slice, which is a style of pizza that people rave on and on about, and has been cargo-culted across the U.S.

You’re being snotty about people trying to answer your questions.

Coal-fired pizza by the slice is a New York City invention. The crust is firmer than what’s served on the Gulf of Napoli, allowing it to be confidently held with one hand (folded).

> when compared to Chicago tavern style or deep dish

Try a New Jersey tomato pie. (They’re good.)

In my experience, a lot of Chicago pizza is more properly pie. Freshness of ingredients plays second fiddle to texture and presentation. That doesn’t mean it’s bad. But I want a crisp crust, not a bready one, and a slice, not a whole pie, and that’s an innovation of New York City.

(As others have mentioned, there is a definite atmosphere element to the experience. You don’t buy a slice to soberly cut up with a knife and fork for solo Wednesday weeknight dinner.)

I don't think 1920s-1930s Germany and 1970s Cambodia are comparable. By the 1970s there was a significant amount of hindsight available for any country that was aspiring to either ultra-nationalism or communism, not so much in the late 1920s when Russia was still in significant flux after Lenin's death. What would the Germans have compared the Nazi regime to?

I recently made a really basic game engine for my dumb games[1] and discovered something interesting about this limitation: Ctrl does not count as a user interaction. I’m guessing because it’s a modifier key.

I wanted my game to have good UX so I cleverly required inputs before any sound would be made. Usually via the game selection screen. But if Ctrl is your “action” key, it doesn’t actually allow the Audio API to work, so you’ll miss some sounds.

I get why this restriction is in place but sometimes it makes good faith attempts at good UX a bit complicated.

Ah yes, just like things such as slavery, Native American history, colonialism was glossed over in US History so that the great achievements could be celebrated, and we didn't have to actually think about who paid the price.
I'm not arguing status quo is wise, but it's folly to pretend that upending the economic mainstay of that whole region would be done "easily".

Similarly, replacing corn with a crop that is profitable (without subsidies), suited to the region, and also doesn't require pesticides that affect insects would not be easy.
> I tried to install NixOS using the live cd last week in a Hyper-V VM, but it failed to get anywhere due to SquashFS errors.

Heh, that reminds me of installing NixOS back around 2014. I didn't have any way to physically boot off the install CD; so I ran it in qemu, using my real /dev/sda as the "virtual" hard drive (which I'd already partitioned). Thankfully there was no interference with the host system (Trisquel).

I'm still using (and evolved version of) the same NixOS config to this day; it still contains the following comment ( https://github.com/Warbo/nix-config/blob/master/nixos/machin... ):

I don't think profit necessarily implies exploitation. People could make billions while also helping the labor class, and then give back to society. Think of things that improve safety, efficiency, or extend human life -- fire extinguishers, farm implements, some medicines, etc. I'm sure people make money off of these, but I'm still thankful to them.
You may be right that most of the capital class is not a net benefit. Nonetheless, I think this kind of broad generalization just distracts us from the real goal of improving human lives.

Dude, why not read the article first? Kampuchean communists (under Pol Pot) murdered nearly 20% of Cambodia's population of 7.8 million in just four years.

There goal was to build a self-sustaining agrarian society and everyone who even looked like an intellectual, had a university education, had glasses, or some other trappings of Western life was eliminated or sent to concentration camps where they mostly died.

Why? Because the didn't fit the mold of "suffering farmers oppressed under capitalism & imperialism, waiting to be rescued."

Outsourcing those steps is basically selling the sap to a processor. I'm not personally aware of anyone who does private label processing/bottling with the sap you provide, but it might exist. Raw sap can last for up to two weeks under the right conditions, which is keeping it refrigerated below 40F. Sap that has been run through an RO system has a much shorter shelf life - refrigerated up to 5 days at most. In a typical RO process you would keep the permeate (water that has gone through the membrane and been filtered) and discard the waste, which is a solution of water and whatever could not pass through the membrane. However in syrup production you do the opposite, discard the permeate and keep the waste. But in addition to raising your sugar concentration from ~4% to as high as 12%, you've also concentrated the bacteria, which gives the shorter shelf life. It is believed that the fresher your sap is when evaporated, the better the final product will taste. This is why you should evaporate as fast as you collect.
The other commenter is also right, but CD-RW also had two fatal flaws:

1. It was notoriously unreliable. Data would fail to write and corrupt the disk. Disks would often fail after a few uses.

2. It was horribly slow, both to read and write (in my experience). In many cases it was faster to burn a CD-R with lots of files instead of moving individual files to a CD-RW.

Maybe it was just my computer at the time, but CD-RW was more of a novelty than anything. It could have been good, but it simply just didn't do what it said on the tin.
