I pretty much skated through college on my ability to remember trivial facts because this is what the classes I took graded on.

Does anyone care that the head of the art history department did his phd on Picasso, taught two full semester courses on him and I know more about Picasso’s life than probably 99.9% of the general population?

Doubtful…

But I do know things that never made it into the search engines (I’ve looked) and this knowledge is locked up in a (probably) retired professor and the few percent of students who actually listened to his lectures twenty-something years ago.

Now everyone assumes that if it isn’t in google it doesn’t exist and have very little idea how to find information outside of what’s contained in its “record of all things”.
Saying things doesn't make them true. He does not make a convincing argument.

Trucks are much nicer than they were 40 years ago and our culture has changed as a result. 40 years ago few people would have considered driving a truck, they were all basically farm trucks with limited creature comforts. Now they are luxury vehicles.
If the title of the article was:

> A trivial wrapper around ChatGPT has a Chess Elo of 1400

would you have any issue?

Afaict, the thesis is the article is not "ChatGPT is the ideal tool for playing AI chess", but "it is interesting how well ChatGPT can play chess with some very simple tweaks."

"The core of Next.js has been designed to enable starting as a static site" is a little contradicted by the fact static export is considered an 'advanced feature' though.

That said, I'm not sure why running `next export` is considered 'advanced'.

Intentionally engineering features that make a pathogen more dangerous (whether or not that's the origin story of SARS-CoV-2) is not the same thing as putting antlers on a mouse. Or even putting antlers on a human.

Electricity is wonderful for lighting our homes, powering our thinking machines, and talking to each other over vast distances using radio. That doesn't mean it's OK for some rent-seeking asshole company to make electric torture devices and hand them out to the cops.

Likewise, genetic engineering can be useful, and fun, and productive, and insightful. It can also be murderous. The former don't per se imply the latter.

Not everything needs to be weaponized. And some things need not to be.
You're right. The gpt-4 poem is good[0], but is formulaic doggerel compared to Poe.

I have lived in suburban, urban, and rural environments. I think the issue is more about whether globalization has changed all that. During the pandemic lockdown, many people were working from home, and some realized that paying for rent in NYC or SF wasn't worth it, if they couldn't go out and enjoy it, so it makes a lot more sense to work from home in a rural area if I am an IT person. That said, I don't think political viewpoints has anything to do with trust- when I was in the city, I didn't think "liberal" or "conservative" neighbors were more likely to be trusted. The point is that if one is raised believing there will always be a helping hand, it is better to not expect much, even if there is nothing wrong in asking for more help than supposedly more "individualistic" areas, which, in many cases isn't exactly reflected in rural vs. urban environments (e.g. cattle grazing was exploited by libertarians as cheap land leasing)
> People are different and they prefer different things. That's what makes our lives interesting and varied.

Agree, however, I think the a key point of the video is about how we balance our own experience vs. that of the community we live in. SUVs and light trucks have a cost and it's fair to question if that cost is worth it. He shed light in areas where I wasn't so familiar such as blind spots and child fatalities.

> It feels like the author wants to fix the problem by just saying "Hey people, don't buy SUVs. Hey corporations, don't manufacture SUVs", whereas a more strategic and "backward" approach is needed.

I thought his main argument was that people respond to incentives. That's why 40 years ago the Ford Escort was so popular vs. the F150 today. These incentives are driven by government regulation. He acknowledges that it is rational to buy an SUV when everyone has one because it's game theory. The way out is for society to regulate trucks more fairly according to their broader costs. There are reasons we need trucks and we should have trucks, but perhaps we shouldn't incentivize that to be the primary vehicle for everyone.

There are a myriad of reasons why I prefer SPA to server rendered content for most applications. The main exception is if I have a public facing, unauthenticated application that I need indexed, I'll go for SSR.

Off the top of my head, here are benefits to SPA:

- I can just serve a few static files from a CDN. Every user gets the same client.

- Most requests made by the application are actually smaller. I'm just loading the data I need, rather than the data, markup and styling.

- It's an actual client application talking to a data API. It's the same API the rest of my client applications are talking to, be it a mobile API, native, CLI, etc.

- It's a much easier mental model. Interactivity without having to give consideration to whether or not it will disrupt whether it can be rendered. I build my application like a realtime application and just make requests for the data I need when I need it

- I don't have to think about exposing backend secrets, or trying to do things I'm mistakenly assuming to necessarily run in one environment or the other

- I can be much more explicit about loading and caching data when I would like to

Even most of the cons of a SPA can be ameliorated. The biggest con is a larger up front load, but that can be mitigated by code splitting and lazy loading. The fact that it's a handful of static files means that the application is basically cached, too. And SPAs are for applications, not websites. Most people using SPAs want the application experience to be optimal, not necessarily their initial first time load. They want small requests, interactivity, live feedback. This is all possible with SSR, but nowhere near as simple.
Our little one is four and a half months old. The official advice is already to introduce foods that could cause allergies at six months [1]. So that's what we'll be doing.

If UBS is smart they won't be there...
Yup. Doing actual policy work negates a person's interest in infotainment (keyfabe).

Similarly, working on campaigns reveals that most political commentary isn't even wrong, so not even worth debating.

PS-

> about how the US puts cars first

And the flip side: How anything less than full throated praise for and life long devotion to cars, such as asking for safety improvements like sidewalks and bike paths, is part of a grand anti car conspiracy. Sure. There's 1.4b cars in the world, and growing. And me peddling to work 3 days a week is an existential threat to the world order.
Everyone's focused on writing code - is the code even needed when a good enough AI exists? How many of us are writing code to extract 10% more efficiency out of humans, if they go so do we.

Also if software development does survive, it's going to look very attractive to all the other unemployed people.
> Meanwhile, in the US, station wagons are completely dead,

In the US, seemingly everything but the SUV is dead. I bought a car in 2021 after having a kid, and it was either a “crossover” (SUV body on a smaller frame) or a minivan if you wanted a five-door/hatchback. I occasionally kick myself for giving up my Fiesta; that thing was wonderful in US cities.
Anyone have a link/list of notable billion plus market cap companies that reached this valuation without using equity exchanges?
O_DIRECT is basically telling the OS to load a block of data straight from disk into your process memory, skipping all the caching, sharing, scheduling, coalescing and readaheads the OS normally does for you.
Which means you now either must do all that yourself in userspace or you can use io_uring to have it happen in the background and get notified when it's done.

But if the intent is to have multiple processes share the samedata then mmap likely is the better choice.
Looks like what happens when a dumb disassembler misaligns instruction boundaries. All those immediate constants looking like instructions is a huge hint.

I don't see how it's common sense to avoid certain foods at a young age to avoid allergies later on. Am I missing some obvious connection? If allergies are caused by the immune system not recognizing X, probably the solution is to introduce X earlier.

They had "peanut-free" lunch tables when I was in elementary school, and all I thought was people just need to stop being so sensitive. Even then, guess I was right.

About a year ago, I stopped consuming news cold turkey (save technology and movie news [the former work-necessary and the latter a personal vice]). I took the extra step of banning Twitter and Memeorandum at the router level, so that I couldn't revert easily.

I didn't read a single political news story in the ensuing six months. Some of the happiest months of my life. These days I will read the section headlines on Memeorandum if I'm out and about, every week or so. I have found that I no longer have any interest at all in the contents of the stories. Most seem so petty.

I don't honestly give a f*ck if someone on either side of the aisle is caught doing something immoral, because there has been zero consequences during my 50 years of life. The vast majority of power players (politicians, businesspeople and celebrities) get off scott free, so I've just opted out of caring.

So much happier as a result.
I agree, millions is entirely unknowable right now, but there were two distinct statements and you didn’t say which you wanted a citation for, so I supplied a citation for the verifiable statement and asked which you were challenging.
My “street smarts” tell me this is correct. Social isolation combined with filling their guts with someone’s industrial science experiment on a bun ..day in and day out for decades, McDonalds in the morning seems like it is often the last daily grind for America’s army of disenfranchised single retired men (before the cemeteries and dementia wards take them). Is it causal or correlation? This study makes me think they’re eating themselves into insanity which probably helps keep them in that routine before wiping them out completely. It’s so fucking evil.
I don't think we're talking about tuning or power users -- this is the equivalent of folks who don't know how to check their engine oil or their tire pressure.

Someone doesn't care how their car works _until their car doesn't work_. Or they want to change something relatively minor:

"Hey I just bought these awesome tires. Please put them on the car."

"Well, those are too big for your rims so you'd need new rims. And I'm not sure if your car can handle larger rims..."

"Why are you making this so difficult?"
People who say "labor will shift" tend to have a significant overlap with the people who say "one day AGI will do all the work for us so we can live in paradise"; which, in turn, has significant overlap with the people who don't spend nearly as much time as they should acknowledging that getting from point A to point B is going to be the bloodiest proposition in history and not a guarantee besides. Probably because there is yet another overlap with people who find technology far more fascinating than society, and thus don't care to look beyond first order effects.
The AH isn’t saying that a comment is too harsh, it’s saying that the commenter has anger problems and should do something about them. It’s uncalled for and condescending. I don’t see a reason to say that besides trying to make someone angry and start a useless dispute.

When I spent a bit too long on reddit, I started to realize that all threads there degenerate into this, given enough attention. Without moderation, it just feels like a series of dead-end discussions where trying to participate isn’t worth the effort because any nuanced arguments will fly out the window when people get tired of arguments and want to start fighting. I hope this place doesn’t become that.
I honestly find this way more intuitive than JEE profiles.

It just makes sense when you take react as what it is: a library. Now, if you want amenities like a router you need to build it yourself or use something existing. 99.9% of people want this, so why not point them into the right direction?
Unity also had a collaborative open source game project and canned that. And an example multiplayer FPS, but canned it because the UI, scene loading, and networking layers were all implemented using custom code and not the Unity built in equivalents. They had a 4 player multiplayer co-op game demo that they abandoned. Many of their demo projects where they promised to release source code, and they didn't deliver on that (a few of them they did deliver on but specifically under a license that allows no asset or code re-use).

Studios have made some great games with Unity. But the company Unity themselves have no idea how to finish a game, or even make one using stock unity. Even if they can't use current stock unity, they never bring their custom code into the mainline engine releases...

And I'm making these complaints as someone who exclusively uses Unity for their own hobby games. I really ought to give Godot a try, I just have so much personal experience using Unity (and working around their engine) that the idea of learning a new engine is daunting.
bc is a standard utility on POSIX systems. It's kind of expected that people know about it, like it's expected they know about awk or grep.

Getting feedback on unfinished work sounds great! I am writing a book about my personal experience as a 9 year old living through the 4-year long war in Bosnia back in 1992. I want my son to be able to learn about this war as it was experienced by me. It has been very difficult so far as it pushes me to revive those horrible memories, and getting feedback would mean a lot to keep me going.
The thing is Joe Average is going to reply "So what?", and they have a point: Invasive tracking, DRM, illegal mass surveillance, banning encryption, literally none of that affects them insofar as whether they can do whatever it is they want on their computer.

Those things and more negatively affect us as power users, but those things are all complete non-issues for the common man and consequently not worth their time to care.

Before I started MCIWB I hosted Minecraft servers on my Raspberry Pi during lockdown. My son would meet up with friends on these servers every day.

I was impressed how low resource requirements are for the server.

We had quite big world's with 5 or more players running pretty well.

The client is a different story and the graphics capability of a pi is five for pi edition but struggles with the others.
Because it's slow. Hard to do treeshaking if everything is in random dependencies that need to be downloaded at runtime. You also get a flash of white if you don't pre-render your sites.

"Mouse with antlers" would be better described as "mouse with cancerous growth on head with some antler like traits".
Very cool work but I'm a bit perplexed by their first example/diagram from the blog post (which is presumably cherry-picked?). The event "The dogs are waiting." overlapping with the event "The dogs are pulling the sled." seems like a poor joint labeling of the events. The two obviously cannot co-occur, and this feels like a pretty easy opportunity for the model to demonstrate its understanding of event disentanglement.

The remaining examples from the paper don't do much in the way of convincing me this is a one-off issue. The recognition of multiple events globally is good, but perhaps extra care should be taken at overlapping event boundaries (e.g. additional local constraints in the loss/regularization scheme that encourage event splitting or time boundaries "snapping-to-grid" if confidence of co-occurrence is low).
The class version is

class ViewportHook {
constructor(component) {
this.viewportState = component.addState(this, initialValue)
component.addEffect(() => {
return watchViewport((x, y) => this.viewportState.set({something: x + y})
})
}

value() { return this.viewportState.get() }
}

The hook version is

function useViewport() {
const [state, setState] = useState(initialValue);
useEffect(() => {
return watchViewport((x, y) => setState(x + y))
}, [])
return state;
}

I changed the API to be more similar to the existing useEffect where you can return the unsubscribe function. That makes the difference in the size of code non-significant.

Again, its more about API design rather than classes or functions.

Another crucial benefit of the class version: you can use hooks in conditions or loops, in any order. This is because they're not called on every render. I also used a unique `key` to pass to `addState`, but its not really a requirement, since the hook constructors only get called once.

I don't understand points 3 and 4, can you elaborate? I'm assuming that when i call `component.use(HookClass)` the component creates a new instance of that hookclass. Regarding learning, I don't think the whole concept of (functional) hooks and their idiosyncracies are any easier to learn than learning one new type of class.

> Bundle size: because the hook version relies on functions rather than class properties, it can be minified trivially and thus reduce bundle size even more than the obvious reduction in character count would imply

I don't think this will make any meaningful difference. The full component methods API (addState, addEffect) is likely to be in use in any nontrivial project, so that can't be minified away. For 3rd party hook classes, they would be small and independend through `use` and easy to minify / dead-code-eliminate if not in use.

It’s not rolling shutter artifacts, you can see the one blade is bent in the same direction as it spins, unlike rolling shutter which makes most of the blades appears to bend towards the same direction regardless of which angle the propeller’s at.

Huh? Have you attended a local city council meeting recently? I can guarantee you they're running on shoestring budgets with an endless backlog of requests that they are only treading water on because of anemic tax revenue and low prestige for government jobs. "Productivity" isn't just some high tech, consumer bauble producing phenomenon. It helps everyone out. Highly profitable, headcount-bloated big companies are the outlier.

Emission standards require you to maintain the car as it was sold to you.

So with DEF that means that since the car was sold with a DEF injection mechanism the car's computer will not allow the car to drive once you're out of DEF, as that will bump up the emissions.

For me, it wasn’t an option, even though a wagon was my first choice. I don’t live near a shop that services Subarus (or someone that sells them), so the Outback was not an option.
