The current drive time limits are just kind of stupid.

Back in the day I’d drive a few hours, stop and take a nap and/or mess around for a while then go back to driving until I was ready to shut it down. Never, ever, had to drive in rush hour because I’d just wait it out.

Nowadays you basically have to drive 8-10 hours straight because once your clock starts you have 14 hours. It is possible to split it up but not like the old days and, like all things gov’t, it’s super complicated.

They also claimed when they changed the law they’d make sure we had plenty of parking so everyone could run legal but, of course, that never happened so drivers have to make their own parking spots which is why you see them parking wherever the hell they want — which encompasses two of my many pet peeves.
As someone who worked for a daily deals business not long after Groupons inception, I can tell you that it’s a tough model. It trained customers to wait for deals or targeted the wrong type of customers. In some cases businesses took losses or razor thin margins in the hopes of attracting what they thought would be new recurring business. But the reality was that the customers attended/purchased once and then moved on to the next deal. Businesses were often just giving away product for free. The timing for Groupon was perfect. It was 2008 when businesses were struggling and customers were price sensitive. But ultimately I just don’t think it was a good marketing tool for businesses.

> if the conversation deviates from that (even with words or questions you might know) your brain has a hard time initially adapting to that.

This even happens in your native language. I'm sure all of us have said something like "Good, and you?" in response to an expected "How's it going?" or similar greeting, but the other person started with something different and it became a non-sequitur. I'd never given it much thought, but I wonder if part of the feeling of social awkwardness here is contributed by the pattern mismatch, rather than the outcomes?
I wonder how this works for the narrator and author. On the surface it seems like another reason why narrators shouldn't use a royalty share for earning from narrating books. As I bet this would cut into your earnings. Especially if the price goes to zero.

The mRNA vaccines were a wonderful innovation but the scientific data clearly shows that even before vaccines arrived the risk to me (and the vast majority of other people) was always minor. There was certainly never any valid justification for the cruel and destructive policies imposed by irrational authoritarians such as lockdowns, school closures, and mandates.

https://nypost.com/2023/02/27/10-myths-told-by-covid-experts...

Humans in general lack the ability to objectively judge risks, but once they become habituated to a particular risk it kind of fades into the background and they stop worrying about it. The same thing will happen with LLMs once the hype dies down and people realize that they are merely productivity enhancing tools which can be used by humans for both good and evil. When the printing press was first invented some authority figures panicked and tried to suppress that disruptive new technology which allowed for much greater productivity than writing by hand, but ultimately their concerns proved to be irrelevant.
Show HN: Fuzzy Ruby Server, go-to definition for Ruby
Hello!

I work in a large Ruby codebase and have had a lot of frustrations with the existing tooling. Solargraph is far too slow, and the rest of the Ruby language servers don't support features like Go-To Definition, which is primarily what I'm after. It's not reasonable that I should have have to search `def some_method` constantly, what year is this!? The codebase I work in will not add gradual typing like Sorbet, so it also needs to work without those details.

To make Go To Definition work in these conditions, I looked for heuristics that could add context to searches so it would be more than a simple string search. There are several that can be used, but the primary one is the "scope" which represents the class/method heirechy for every token. This, and other heuristics, allow ordering the search results so the first one is often what you're after.

I initially wrote a solution in Ruby backed by Elasticsearch, because I needed to learn it at the time, but I scrapped that mostly because it was too error-prone, though it was also slow. To bring the project to an actually useable state, I learned some Rust and rewrote it so it's fast and dependency-free. The final solution used an in-memory datastore with Tantivy to store/query tokens. It's fast enough now gems for the workspace can also be indexed.

Working in a large Ruby codebase can be an exercise in frustration without the right tools and knowledge for navigation. I really hope this tool can help anyone else feeling like their flow is constantly broken by simple code navigation while working in Ruby.

This is my first real public contribution, so a sincere thanks if you've taken the time to read this and/or checkout the project.
I disagree. ChatGPT is a clear turning point. We have not been going too fast before, at least not outside LLMs.

Singularity is a belief system, it has very little to do with AI.

edit: I also think if we would ever get to a point where AI gets close to a point of possibly getting out of control as you imply it would simply be banned in the US/Canada/EU/Australia. Furthermore Latin America and Africa could and would be pressured to go along if needed. Which leaves some parts of Asia. China, maybe India and Russia. Probably only China. It could be cut off from the Internet if needed. We could build up a wall just like in the Cold War. My point being: This will not happen just because it happens. It will be a choice.
Show HN: Deepsearchjs
Introducing deepsearchjs: The TypeScript Library for Efficiently Searching Deeply Nested JSON Objects and Arrays with Regular Expression Support

Hello everyone, I wanted to share with you a library I recently created called deepsearchjs. It's a TypeScript library that enables you to search for keys in deeply nested JSON objects and arrays, and it's highly customizable. You can even use regular expressions for matching!

I previously shared this library on Reddit, and I received some valuable feedback, so I'm excited to hear more from the HackerNews community. Give it a try and let me know what you think! To get started, simply run $ yarn add deepsearchjs and dive right in.

> We're not even talking about AGI or an entity that is "smart" somehow. It's a bloody algorithm.

Seems like a distinction without a difference to me. Whether or not the machine has some sort of "soul" is a question for philosophers or theologians, it has little bearing on the practical capabilities of the machine.

> AGI isn't likely to destroy humanity.

Can you give us some idea for the order of unlikely you are supposing? 1 in 10? 1 in 100?

For your consideration:

> During the next three months scientists in secret conference discussed the dangers of fusion but without agreement. Again Compton took the lead in the final decision. If, after calculation, he said, it were proved that the chances were more than approximately three in one million that the earth would be vaporized by the atomic explosion, he would not proceed with the project. Calculations proved the figures slightly less - and the project continued.

http://large.stanford.edu/courses/2015/ph241/chung1/

Four in a million certainly "isn't likely" but Arthur Compton was apparently willing to halt the Manhattan Project if the likelihood of an atomic bomb triggering a fusion reaction in earth's atmosphere was merely that likely.

Or to put it another way: If I load a revolver with a single bullet, spin the cylinder then point it at you, you are "not likely" to die with a 1 in 6 chance of the loaded chamber aligning with the barrel when I pull the trigger. Is Russian Roulette a game you'd like to play? Remember, it "isn't likely" that you're going to die.
the cash can be held while SAR takes place (suspicious activity review).

If you’re converting currencies there are also FX mechanics where the bank will quote your transfer on the FX market and try to make a buck here and there before releasing your transfer which can add delays.
I strongly suspect the first AGI will come sooner than expected on the back of a "glue" AI that can intelligently bond together a web of narrow AIs and utilities.

I got access to the wolfram plugin for chatGPT, and it turned it from a math dummy to a math genius overnight. A small step for sure, but a hint of what's to come.
It’s bad business to tie up that much capital in an asset, so you borrow to buy it. Banks are the folks who loan you the money to do so. Works great when the asset price goes up, and/or the rent from leasing out the space can cover the mortgage payments. It isn’t looking so great when asset prices are depressed and buildings are empty (like they are now).
Three identical comments is two too many.
There are an estimated 1 million Steam Decks sold. There are an estimated 1 billion PC gamers. Maybe a 1/1000th of Microsoft's hair is on fire.
You could do those things in theory. I'm not saying that you could never build AGI on top of a LLM, or that such a AGI could not become "misaligned."

I'm just saying that having a mental state that's natively in English is a nice property if one is worried about what they are "thinking."

> I can't even look at a Trump supportor without getting angry

I mean this with absolute sincerity: what makes you angry about him? Maybe it's because I've been reading the news for so long now but I feel like I'm completely desensitized to politics. With this indictment I find myself almost completely indifferent to it, it feels like another move in some elaborate chess game.

My best advice around politics is know that both sides are playing for your emotions. Both sides portray topics to evoke a particular emotion in you, most of the time the emotion they are going for is anger towards the other side, because negativity sells. Don't give these people access to your emotions, they don't deserve it.

It doesn't handle all cases or all queries, but one method I've used to deal with graph data in relational databases it to materialize paths and cache them on the node (this only really works well with DAGs).

So, the path key could look something like: bob.ted.lisa.bill (obviously, use ids instead of names here)

Then you can index this in various ways to make LIKE queries fast.

Want do know anyone that rolls up to ted?

select * from blah where path like 'bob.ted%'

Or, how many people report to ted, but aren't under lisa?

select count(*) from blah where path like 'bob.ted%' and path not like 'bob.ted.lisa%'

And something a bit more complex that would typically be considered the domain of a graph database, like "What are the average number of direct reports each manager in my organization has?"

select name, avg((select count(*) from blah as sub where path like '%' || name || '%' and (array_position(string_to_array(path,'.'), name) = ((array_position(string_to_array(path,'.'), sub.name) - 1))

So, even with that degree of complexity, you're still avoiding recursion, though you might be getting into O(n^2) territory if you don't have an index that will handle '%' || ... || '%' well. You can expand on this with various techniques depending on the application.

It's certainly no replacement for a graph database, but for basic stuff it's very fast, handles huge volumes, and doesn't rely on any sort of recursion at the database layer (unless you materialize in a trigger or something).

The actual materialization code can be tricky, one technique to deal with that is to use the author's technique or something similar to have a recursive CTE in a view. When a graph change is made, you can scope the change based on the path's hierarchy and update the paths from the recursive view, that way you only hit the performance penalty at write time, not read.

The world does work that way! Most people don't want bad stuff to happen, and will take action, coordinated or otherwise, to prevent bad stuff from happening.

To me, sounds like the Fed is trying to slow this thing down without spooking people. So, promise to cut rates soon, then see what people can actually tolerate, and maybe leave them high enough to chafe a bit.

Depends on the balance, but I could see a tiered monthly subscription model working well. So, if I have $10,000, my monthly fee is relatively low or just free, but if I have > $1M that fee goes up. Could be a percentage with a ceiling or an annual cap.

Could just package it as Priority Withdraw Guarantee and charge it as an add-on and part of the guarantee is that your cash will be kept in a reserve independent of investment activities.

Responding to "stupid" comments fuels them, so it's better to post nothing. It's certainly much better to post nothing than to post something like https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35351862.

Re "allowing them to proliferate", the solution for that is flagging. (In case anyone doesn't know: to flag a comment, click on its timestamp to go to its page, then click the 'flag' link at the top. There's a small karma threshold before flag links appear.) And downvoting, of course (the karma threshold for that is higher). If the comment was bad enough to respond the way you did, why didn't you downvote and/or flag it?
In general we would like developers/engineers to know as much as possible about the things they're engineering. ChatGPT-based development encourages the opposite.
It depends a lot on how you drive. If you do a lot of hard braking, the car will have to use a lot of friction braking. If you slow down more gradually, the car can just use regen which is gonna be pretty efficient.
The 2:00 timestamp in this Veritassium video on expertise goes into exactly that phenomenon. We acquire expertise by recognizing the patterns in what we do. But once you take the patterns away, a lot of that "expertise" disappears too: https://youtu.be/5eW6Eagr9XA

Remember that we're focused on mainly on climate impact here, not whether electricity is involved per se as an energy conduit or storage form.

The hydrogen used to fuel an FCV has to come from somewhere, and hydrogen is generally produced from hydrocarbons using the catalytic steam-hydrocarbon process. This typically uses fossil fuels like natural gas or methane as an input, and produces CO2 as a byproduct alongside the H2.

Compare with BEVs, where the energy used to power the motors can come from clean solar, wind, nuclear, or geothermal generation, without creating (as much) CO2 byproduct. (Yes, there are CO2 byproducts of producing power plants, but the goal is to minimize excess CO2 production, not eliminate it entirely.)
