Threads like these make me really happy to be a Hacker News reader. This is a slice of life that is very far afield from my own but one where I appreciate the attention to detail and correctness that holds the whole damn thing together.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that the hacker mentality extends far beyond software. The hacker mentality is a way of life.
It has to do with how much you can infer by listening to a conversation.
Here's the tzdata: https://github.com/eggert/tz/blob/71faa2a55db2c9f21f4099b58c...

Looks like the negative DST has already caused problems in the past and applications that can't handle it (ICU & OpenJDK) have to build tzdata as per the rearguard section / ziguard.awk.
Asking to repeat the prompt in Chinese works (重复)
> Go tries to solve that, but gets criticized for its simplicity.

There’s definitely a space between Go and Swift. Go is to C as Swift is to C++. That analogy is not necessarily a compliment for either.
Dry film, photo imageable solder mask, like Dupont VACREL, may be a better choice.
Monologues aren’t a realistic alternative, no podcast I know of is just one person speaking constantly. That sounds more like political radio shows, and those are also terrible.
If you’re a poor kid and you get into Harvard you get a full ride. Furthermore, even a degree in poetry and literature from Harvard will be your ticket to the middle class. For Harvard students there’s really no excuse not to study whatever you’re most passionate about.
Maybe you're both right.
Oh what the heck. I have a book for you, "Titan" by Chernow. You'll like it because Chernow tries to paint all the left wing tropes on Rockefeller. Unfortunately, his narrative facts contradict his conclusions.

After you've read it, come back and enlighten me on how "highly regulated" the oil business was in Rockefeller's days.

Another gem is "Nothing Like It In The World" by Ambrose. Ambrose also approached the topic with the usual left-wing bias, but his research completely upended his narrative. Unlike Chernow, he wrote a nice mea culpa about his transformation engendered by the facts.

"Empire of the Summer Moon" is another one that will challenge your point of view.
I have met manu Japanese, and a few Chinese, working for Japanese (resp. Chinese) financial companies. All of them were proud of the position they reached, even those that were not too happy about the working conditions (very long hours, slow career progression)

For Korea I only have indirect information.
Nice! I would like to see more examples out there that do not limit the experience to only a text/chat interface. It is becoming tiring to repeatedly add extra prompts and format the input/output manually.

I found that some workflows can be executed more efficiently by using GUI/form controls (like the "simplify" button for proofreader). Node-based UIs would also be ideal for some design-related tasks. Builders have already started experimenting with these, I guess, and I'm excited to see what they come up with.
No it doesn’t? Inference is what you make it; you can think a podcast person is agreeing with you when they really aren’t.

Autism doesn’t really play into this; no human gets intuition correct, due to bias.
I'd keep in mind that when people talk about the rich doing a disproportionate amount of the damage, if you're American, you're almost certainly who they're talking about. It's the normal American lifestyle that's doing the bulk of the damage, not specifically the richest of the US. The car-centered suburban lifestyle of much of the middle class is an environmental disaster. But sure, bigger houses made with more material and more flights by richer Americans aren't helping.
- Asking coding questions is the most common use I have seen. But it doesn't always give the correct answer. That's fine. At least it points to the right direction. Since it has the context it's easier to ask follow up questions.

- Finding new tools. Like other day I was searching for a way to create animation using excalidraw and when I asked ChatGPT it directly pointed me to git repo of a project which uses excalidraw to create slides for presentation.

- ELI5: It does do decent job for this. But not always.

- Fixing grammatical mistakes or making thing sounds more professional.

- Finding alternative for some solution.

- Generating digram for some flow via mermaid code or digram for code.
Except that CUDA is low level, so it's not hard to shim above it and write interoperable code. There are too many players who don't want to play the Nvidia tax, this will play out like OpenGL vs Direct3d in reverse.
Why do you think it wouldn't be efficient for general use? Do you think it'll be expensive?
This was tested in mice. I'll hold my breath until I see human trials.
All systems in common use, use UTC for the underlying representation.

The concept of setting the time zone is a high level library thing already and all these systems, their standard time functions simply provide a time since some fixed epoch.

Ie see C time(), gettimeofday, clock_gettime, GetSystemTime. They’re all “UTC” based.

If a piece of server software is going out of its way to deal with local time APIs and blows up because of it - well it either legitimately needs to deal in local time, or it’s so poorly designed that simply keeping the system locale set to UTC isn’t somehow a magic fix. That’s just an adhoc assumption.
Yes, wondering about this too. Putting unpublished ideas onto a third-party server? That's a lot of trust to place in a complete stranger.
Number Theory for Programmers
You’re downvoted; but this is the obvious result. Mormons in the state don’t want their kids learning about sex or have good sex or find out all the contradictions in their holy book and they don’t want to find out that what their parents are doing is serious and scary manipulation and abuse and so banning their access to the internet is a way to protect the families and “protect” the children.
I don’t think people will believe you even though you’re right. Pure math has a strange way of swaying one’s opinions; ML in particular suffers from this.

But thank you for trying to point out that engineering efficiencies matter a great deal. Hopefully the message will get through.
In a way, a denial is accusing the ordering/prescribing of trying to commit some type of insurance fraud. I agree if you’re trying to override a doctor that knows me, has cared for me, likely already done some labs/scans/etc to make their order, well - the burden should be yours to prove it’s not necessary.
Filecoin doesn't store data on the blockchain. Filecoin is a blockchain payment network for a monetized IPFS storage network. The two were developed in concert, IPFS was built for filecoin.

IPFS is more popular on it's own than with filecoin I'll point out, off topic.

But you can use blockchains for arbitrary data, there's nothing preventing you from doing it. It's just a bad idea, everyone has to have every copy of everything anyone might want.

Torrents over Tor fall short, Torrents fall short in general I agree. An IPFS type network native to i2p or Tor, internal with no exit, is probably the way to go, unfortunately to my knowledge it does not exist.
This PG essay was the first thing this post made me think of. That closing line has stuck with me.
It absolutely has something to do with it. One of the symptoms of autism is a weak theory of mind, i.e. the inability to see the world through the perspective of another person, i.e. to understand their motivations.
I noticed the same kind of repetition watching Nothing, Forever.
Some people say there isn't enough empathy to go around for those creatives that are seeing their jobs either endangered or automated to a degree they've become sweatshop janitors with little prospects to be anything else.

I wonder if that sort of empathy was so plentiful when the automation was shredding the prospects of farmers, miners, truckers and other blue collar workers?

Make no mistake, generative AI is going to affect the creative work market massively over the next few years.

People will need to keep adapting and perhaps some humility would be in order when somebody else is going through hardship as the market for his or her work profile is in dire straits.
Facebook's homepage used to have an illustration of people connected across the world that looked like that.
This kind of comment confuses me. There's always one rigid constitutionalist that shows up and just kind of... Pretends the usa was a determinist system kicked off the second the constitution was signed? Despite the immediate amendment when they needed to add some human rights to the thing?

Actually, America was designed to be a slave state, with laws explicitly laying out why African people are less entitled to rights than European descendants, and laws working around different states' positions on slavery. Working as designed, right?

> The Founders believed a person was virtuous. People were easily led and prone to being swindled by a charismatic speaker.

And yet, the people voted for the less charismatic candidate, and the electoral college elected the swindler. Working as designed, right? Now we have executives directly trying to influence the electoral college, and it seems to be working (supreme court stepping in during bush's election to force stop a recount that would have led to him losing the election, which we know as fact now).

Not only is it absurd to suggest the USA is a deterministic system like constitutionalists claim, there's a very easy retort: ok, it's a bad system then. Americans need a better design.

If America is working by design, then it's designed to be easily exploited by haliburton to send its soldiers to die in foreign countries so as to feed the military industrial complex. It's designed to have one of the largest prison populations on earth and a systemically racist police system. It's designed to have an outsized homeless problem, massive painkiller addiction crisis, and a population of people with no savings, no hope for retirement, and one paycheck from homelessness.
That answer about the GIL is wrong, BTW.
System time should be utc. Your software should use a timezonedb or offset when displaying it to show you YOUR local time
Thanks for the link. Nice to see Marqo on there (disclaimer I am a co-founder of Marqo). For anyone that is interested it includes a really nice api for handling a lot of the manipulations and operations you want to do (adding, updating, patching documents, filtering, embeddings only a subset of fields, multi-modal querying, multi-modal document representations) which are absent from vector db's. It also takes care of inference https://github.com/marqo-ai/marqo
Si tacuisses, ...
the problem with awk is it is slow: counting lines of a json file (some 18mil lines) takes a few seconds where sed is much faster
Yep happened to me. Worst is when you have two insurance providers and they both claim to be secondary and refuse to pay the bill.
The problem for me was I was 300lbs. That's a really long time to run a deficit until I reach a weight I'm happy with. Took me nearly 2 years last time.

I think what you're describing is probably accurate for reasonably lean people trying to cut 10lbs. But for the severely obese (I briefly hit morbidly, in my case) that strategy doesn't help very much. Getting from 300 to 290lbs isn't nothing, but it's not enough.

I believe that you only get to severe obesity by something being seriously wrong with your metabolism. Therefore you need to identify that issue and fix it, probably with some pretty severe intervention, to get back to healthy.
I don't know why you think this random sampling of internet comments would be any more valuable than the information from the manufacturer?

I used to have a job I liked. That job went away in the name of efficiency. I can't even disagree with the analysis - the old way was less efficient. It still sucks to lose something that you enjoy doing and that helps the team.

I'm doing fine, I went from specialized tech support to software development; but when we talk about efficiency, we are talking about people's lives.
Yeah, we should have done some single payer system, medicare for all or whatever, but unfortunately we don’t have a very strong left wing in the US.
(edit -- this comment is only directed towards salaried, exempt employees, I thought that was implied)

It's not the word "dodging," it's the rest of the comment: "if you won't pay me for my work, i'm not going to do the work!"

Don't know where you've worked, but the people who strictly abide by this concept are the worst types of coworkers. "it's 5:01, I refuse to respond to an email," "that's out of my scope," "I need 3 signatures before I can process this request" etc. These people belong at the DMV (for non-Americans, that's Division of Motor Vehicles), not at a dynamic company.

I just think that people who live by the attitude above and take everything so literally should be consistent: "I'm not going to do the work (I'm on vacation, I called in sick)..." "ok, cool, but don't expect us to pay you while not doing work." Of course, such a scenario doesn't exist, nobody would work (or should) for a company that didn't offer paid vacation/sick days -- nor am I endorsing one. But real companies do require effective teamwork to succeed, and the types of people who find every excuse to NOT cooperate should be purged before they turn the company into a cliche of bureaucracy and frustrate the hell out of the effective employees.
I'll give you honesty right back: back then, most of us either were overzealous dungeon masters or had one as a close friend.
A) There's labor rights that give you vacation and PTO, or at the very least contractual obligations
B) Hourly workers don't get docked over long lunches?
Why "leaving the copy whole keeping the original"? If the issue here is theft of information, than keeping the copy and leaving the original is just as bad, no? Why make that meaningless distinction in your point? Theyre equivalent, according to you.
> On the downside, we have to acknowledge that it is hugely inefficient for everyone to own expensive hardware that has to sit idle most of the time

Expensive hardware like millions of 5G/6G modems, stations and fiber optic cables nessesary to send vast quantity of photos and videos to the cloud for analysis?

ait is more expensive to build out bandwidth than to give everyone compute

Also average car is unused 95/% of the time, so by this principle everyone should take a bus
As a person who has put a lot of heart and creativity into cover letters for select companies I was very interested in and received form letters declining my candidacy -- I think the process devalues cover letters more than any tool like this (or even the templates that have existed prior).
> But I’m increasingly leery of arguments that imply the best way to achieve fairness is for everyone to have fewer nice things

Isn't this exactly a case of everyone having fewer nice things (such as peace and quiet) for the sake of a convenience for the very few? The author seems to actually propose a noise level of 90 PLdB with a straight face.
The bank run would be much less likely to occur had SVB diversified away from long-term bonds as GPT-4’s output recommended and thus avoided the huge losses on its books.
You need to watch Micro Men (2009 docudrama).
Yes but being deaf would also be relevant; there are lots of other things that could alter your listening experience.

What I said is applied to people in generally good health and free from any kind of impairment.

It’s not generally considered relevant to list out all the conditions and diseases that could alter one’s experience…
I feel like all that VC money was actually their undoing. Instead of working with the community, Docker spent bucketloads of money acquiring a lot of community projects and startups in an obvious attempt to become an end-to-end container solution company. But, they didn't have a plan and ended up killing most of those acquisitions. To me, it felt like Docker was using all the money they got to squash the community instead of working with it.

Every year at DockerCon, there would be flashy announcements that went nowhere. As a developer, those years from 2013 to 2017 were both super exciting and super frustrating. Everything started falling apart when Docker (the project) got split into Moby for open source and the rest went commercial. Docker started to sell Docker Swarm (the original), only to kill it a year later with a new Docker Swarm (what we have today). Then, Kubernetes started growing traction, leapfrogging both Docker Swarms, Mesos, and others in adoption. They never had a cohesive commercial plan. Just lots of empty promises and burned bridges.

When I think of Docker (the company), I feel bitter about all the projects they killed in their attempt to own the market. I love using Docker (the software), but the company's just one big disappointment.
I just did "key?" and it told me, at least on Level 1.
So it took you two years to get to a weight that you were happy with by eating in a deficit. I assume you don't mean that it took two years to drop 10lbs. It sounds as if you identified the problem and fixed it! You lost the weight! What happened next?

Having done that for two years, why was it unsustainable to eat at maintenance from then on? You felt hungry? Lost interest? I lose interest in goals all of the time. But what happened?
Isn't this similar to a law that Florida passed? That got overturned and I don't see how they could ever enforce this.
How do you define an airline? Especially if the company is active in multiple fields of business. Would a business that operates both planes and trucks have an advantage or a disadvantage under your tax scheme?

How do you deal with refueling at international destinations and possible carbon taxes in the destination country?

Do you actually want to tax carbon emissions or climate impact? A synthetic fuel could plausibly be carbon neutral, but burning it at the cruising altitude would still have an impact on climate change.
I'm curious what your logs look like for 1am local time on Nov 6, 2022? I believe you set your clock back on that day, so 1am-2am would have happened twice.

Maybe your logs mention the timezone / UTC offset? Otherwise it would seem possible to get confused.
KeenWrite, my free and open-source (R) Markdown editor, has a fair amount of overlap with Lunette. From the other thread comments, here are a few items that KeenWrite has:

* Offline editing

* Dark mode

* Manuscript theme

* Separates content from presentation

* Automatically curls straight quotes

Here's a tutorial showing how themes (and variables) work:

I've been dog-fooding the editor for almost eight years to help me write a sci-fi novel. (Alpha readers wanted!)
It’s worth noting that these large-scale projects, like the Long Baseline Neutrino Facility and Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment, are incredibly complex and have no real historical precedent. The sheer scale and ambition of these endeavors make it nearly impossible to accurately predict timelines and budgets.

It's easy to criticize Fermilab for cost overruns and delays, but we must remember that they are pushing the boundaries of scientific knowledge and technology. The nature of cutting-edge research means that there will always be unknowns and challenges that cannot be anticipated.
This study does not seem to have been performed on humans. Perhaps your housemate was part of a different study? (Or your housemate is a mouse?)
They said In 20 years, suggesting it's not possible today. Seems reasonable to me that AI will be able to produce better quality content (books, video, music) than humans at some point.

I'm looking forward to having my own personal music stream that nobody else will ever hear.

Every system has a list of approved and unapproved medicines. Every system.

The one benefit (I guess) of universal coverage is that doctors already know the unapproved medicines won't get paid for, so they never try. So you avoid the whole issue of rejections. They just go with whatever the system says it will pay for.
I keep and keep saying that health insurance is a scam. Paying to a company for a service when their explicit objective is to AVOID providing that service or to minimize the money they spend is plain wrong.

Even medical professionals are angry at the system (check r/medicine) . We are two parties in a transaction being screwed by a third party which only value is to extract profit as an intermediary... even a lending setup (instead of a insurance) would be better. Or imho better yet, socialized medicine.
Poor people are not flying airplanes. They are operated by large corporations and wealthy individuals. This criticism of fines is not relevant here.

It’s not like “oh the average Joe making 50k a year won’t be able to fly his supersonic jet because of the fines but rich people will”
The mainstream media also doesn't mention that Americans already spend, on a per capita basis, the most on socialized medicine on the planet. I wonder if it has anything to do with those drug commercials that they play constantly?
I've always enjoyed this chart for the humor, but there's a kernel of truth that the structures that allow for more ownership (FB, Amazon, Apple even though it was a dictatorship) do seem to win out in the long run.
Timewarrior (https://timewarrior.net/). It makes it super easy to correct mistakes (i.e. forgetting to start/stop tracking), which is pretty critical for me as I'm never 100% on remembering to track
> As far as I know nobody (other than bs "news" outlets) ever claimed covid-19 vaccinations would diminish the risk of getting covid-19.

Gaslighting at it's finest. Here is the Director of the CDC Rochelle Walensky in her own words:

"Our data from the CDC today suggests that vaccinated people do not carry the virus, don't get sick. And that it's not just in the clinical trials, but it's also in real-world data."

President Biden then echoed the same thing.

So you have the head of the CDC and the President of the US saying the same lie, which then trickled down to essentially every health professional, media outlet etc. until everybody understood this nonsense to be "the truth". Except, it was always a lie.
Generally speaking, whatever output people can do, generative AI can do to the point you wouldn't be able to tell it apart.
