What’s your setup for running these? I’m not seeing performance improvements on off the shelf hardware that would allow for this.
As a male American latch key kid in the 80s I learned to cook and made dinner for my parents and myself most nights. There was a ton of cooking shows on PBS to learn from. You can only watch so much Robotech/Voltron and play so many Commodore games. All of my friends made good food too.
Also the way they were poking fun at the slideshow etc. really made me wonder if it was an April Fool's thing.
> People believing lies throughout history has caused a massive amount of damage ("looks like it's time to go to war again").

"Looks like it's time to go to war again" isn't a lie, it's an opinion. And the case I think you need to make here is that people believing what at the time were intended to be "lies" have caused more damage than people believing things that were spread in the honest belief they were true i.e. that "lies" are both easily defined and distinctly dangerous.

That's a far more difficult case.
Oh, using it for deployment, so you're moving directly from one computer to another right after making a change and then using those files? I could see how that causes problems sometimes. I think the use case of "here is my checkout, I edit it on multiple computers, I don't use it as anything else" is a lot more reliable.

unlike sf, tech workers in pretty much every city you listed tend to actually live in those cities. hell, half the tech workers in sf live in berkeley, oakland, sunnyvale, or other bay area communities. when i was a tech worker in sf, i wasn't civically engaged in sf because i spent that budget in berkeley, where i actually lived.
Agreed, and, using a word from one area of India might not be suited for applying to all of it.

That cross pollination of words is something the English language seems to do from time to time.

Every area of the Indian subcontinent was a rich area of its own languages, music, food and more.

For me north, South Indian cuisine and everything in the between is worth getting to know as and where it is.
A few possible reasons:

- Because investors typically only care only about return on investment - not everything that's beneficial to society has a monetary return, or an immediately apparent monetary return (e.g. NASA investments have given some of the best returns ever, over time, but they didn't have the goal or apparent method of making returns at the start).

- Intelligent people are typically less confident than idiots, because they are more likely to be aware of additional potential risks/failure points. Confidence in an idea/vision is not necessarily a good indicator of anything and you're more likely to support an idiot's idea if confidence is your deciding factor.

- In the case of a UBI, it's not like the money is going to disappear. It will go immediately into securing basic needs, which will cycle the money back through the economy immediately and more likely at a local level.
What BigQuery changes have affected you? I haven't noticed any in years of regular use.
I sometimes ponder, how much effort it would take to make a similar matching interface not for binaries but for regexps and/or something grammar-like. After structured matching of binaries regexps in elixir just feel awkward.

It wouldn't work well with other matching constructs, though, if matching is baked into beamvm itself as a core instruction for speed or something. Guess I have something to investigate this evening.
They’re dystopian fictions, ie. examples of what not to do. But experience has shown that the real-world often recreates dystopian visions by example.

So trying to be the first to show something in a well-meaning way can nonetheless have unfortunate consequences once the example is copied.
Potential upside: People might develop critical thinking skills and state-level disinformation campaigns may be drowned out by kids making fakes for the lulz.

Government isn't involved in that. Game and movie ratings are completely private industry practices. Your selection of distribution channels will be reduced if you don't go through the ratings process, but the government won't stop you.
Huh? I did my own laundry starting from like 10, and cooking the family dinners most nights (until I reached high school and football practice got in the way). Not sure what 'US' you are talking about, maybe the generation before the 80s?
Absolutely agree that it could have been much more realistic with improved/more creative initial user prompting. Yours looks excellent I’m going to try it..
Fortunately providing healthcare to the public has public policy benefits besides maximizing the number of people who can survive as artists. It causes the population to have higher life expectancy, for one thing.

This is much easier to measure than who has the best artists.
The lesson here is that discrete is good enough. You can get better results by shrinking the physical representation of the ones and zeros.

Out of curiosity, how many non-enterprise alternatives to Salesforce have you really, genuinely evaluated?

I've personally never met anyone who has had anything nice to say about Salesforce. I've never heard anything especially bad, but I've heard so many complaints (especially from folks who have had to touch the API). From what I can see, Salesforce only has an advantage because they're the biggest, so everything and everyone works with it (in the same way that every tool that touches email integrates with Gmail).
I got a lot of flak for wanting an Easy-Bake Oven as a boy. My mom was a habitual Burner of Things. Never could quite figure that out. I just wanted to make a brownie that wasn't rock hard crust, you know?

I received similar pushback for taking both Home Ec classes. It was really the only way out of the latchkey kid diet, which, yes, was primarily sandwiches, Steak-Umms, and so on.
There's no consensus, but there doesn't need to be either. If you think a submission should not be on HN, flag it. If enough people agree, it'll most likely be off the front page. (There are times when the mods overrule user flags, but I don't expect April Fools posts to be one of those cases.)

My personal standard is to flag any low-effort April Fools posts, whether I find them funny or not. At least build something neat as part of the joke. I'm not quite sure what a cool project to support a lame language war joke would have been. Given the zeitgeist, maybe a project that's using LLMs to auto-convert C++ to Rust releasing a mode that does the inverse?

This is post actually feels like almost the worst case. It's a low effort blog post, not funny, just reiterates stale language war talking points, and ends with self-promotion.
As someone with no interest in oldschool computers beyond curiosity, I think this project looks like a great opportunity to see a project collapse in real time due to feature creep and bad decisions.

Buying machinery and trying to assemble THD boards at his garage? I know assembling this board would've been expensive, but there is no way that the best decision is to try doing it at home with no skills.

Also, if the sound chip was so available when he first checked, why didn't he just bought it right then? Even one thousand of them would've been cheaper then trying to redesign now. And not only that, he is now thinking of using ANOTHER not currently in production chip BECAUSE HE THINKS IT HAS ENOUGH STOCK! facepalm, just incredible bad decision making.
"Now to be clear, India has no such dish as a curry. No self-respecting Indian restaurant has a "curry" on their menu. They would have a Palak Paneer or a Malai Kofta or a Murgh Makhani - all of which we lump into "curry" - but no "curry"

- This is patently wrong. Curry is a South Indian word referring to vegetables originally (Malakkarry means vegetables). Come to Kerala - you have Moru Curry (Butter Milk Curry) , Erachi Curry (Beef Curry), Tharavu Curry (Duck Curry) etc. The author is a North Indian oblivious of curry history.

That’s not true, there are fully autonomous vehicles. The reason we don’t see it daily — and I doubt we ever will - is that AI will always make mistakes. But you can’t put in jail an AI and the way they make mistakes is unpredictable to humans.

Let me be clearer. The category changes and the changes can often be applied retroactively.

"In hindsight, that wasn't actually easy. It was a massive opportunity for highly motivated learners, but the amount of motivation needed was more than what can fairly be called easy."

I'll compare to an early bicycle with no pedals. They were a breakthrough at the time, but in hindsight they hadn't reached "easy".

And just like making a better bike, plenty of the issues with BASIC could have been fixed on the equipment of its heyday.

And it's not just that things improved over time and you need to be new. There are very old bikes that are plenty easy. But it took a while to figure out.
SF and NY are getting exactly what they deserve by electing idiots.

Much of the rule of law is based on cause and effect. Most of the people who get hung up on time stamps are trying to reconstruct a chain of events over time. And like a lot of concurrency problems, the solution seems to be to solve a different problem instead. Such as causal chaining.

We made an error here because we were aware of three facts but not aware of a fourth. The answer is wrong but the data is consistent. That’s important for finding bugs. It’s also important for establishing intent.

If I bonk you with a bat, it might be an accident. If I had just found out you’ve been sleeping with my wife, people should be asking a lot more questions. If I don’t know that, then there’s no causal link between these events.

I think this applies in some cases, but disagree here. “Just use poetry and pyenv” is my line, and I stand by it because these tools are well documented, and work well for most use-cases. It’s contrasted with a bunch of other more complex options, in tedious yak shave conversations. Often in threads where many people are complaining about how confusing the multitude of options are.

It’s not confusing if you short-circuit the conversation; if you need advice, don’t go down the rabbit hole, just use poetry and pyenv on MacOS, you will make your life easier than the alternatives. There are plenty of docs that will give the hand-holding that you are looking for, so nice you have made the decision.

If you know what you are doing there are arguments for other options, and data scientists have different tool chains. But I think we make it harder for new engineers by having five different ways of doing it, each with people arguing that actually their way is better.
I walked from St Jean Pied de Port, France to Finisterre, Spain twice. It was a great experience and highly recommended.
Yeah the Ways of Saint James is a pilgrimage route (or a catchment thereof until you reach the Camino francés), so it's supposed to be accessible to most everyone, and would have way stations all along as pilgrims of the early middle ages could hardly be assumed to carry months worth of necessities.
If anyone has read "Wild Sheep Chase" by Haruki Murukami, there was the idea of being possessed by the sheep which turned one into a forceful business man. I have only met a couple people like this, but as in the quote it's immediately obvious, and you see why they are where they are.

You make a good point. I found Tennet to be easy to hear but I know there were meme reviews about it being too quiet.

So I looked one up

https://www.theguardian.com/film/2020/sep/03/tenet-dialogue-...

Interestingly in the case of Tenet the claim is that cinemas intentionally were playing the movie too quiet.

It brings up the usual issues of audio mixing and cinema and home is vastly different. But puts Tenet down to cinemas turning it down to avoid loud explosions.

So is this a case of cinemas turning down well mixed movies because movies are coming out too loud?

But really this is just the same problem over again. Sound engineer mixes audio intending for a high end cinema. Some cinemas plays it poorly, people watching at home have no chance to play it properly...

This insufferable trend is popular in made-for-netflix shows. If that's a protest against the medium, it's a weird one.
It's known that plants respond to chemical cues sent by another plant that has just been eaten or lawnmowed.

From this article:

> Recently, plants were also demonstrated to respond to sounds,13,28,29,30 e.g., by changing the expression of specific genes,29,30 or by increasing sugar concentration in their nectar.31

So there is enough indirect evidence for hypothesis formation.

The sound emission frequencies are also within the hearing ranges of various animals, some of which are herbivores, and some of which eat herbivores. It would be to their benefit to decode the meaning of plant sounds.
Well one way of going about it is a hybrid solution. So you set up your python dev directory with a nix file, but then you use pyenv or whatever to encapsulate everything else inside it using python tooling. So it's not strictly Nix-all-the-way-down, but at least as far as being in the directory is concerned, the "right" python version and libraries are available.

I don't think it's that simple. As you move up, you lose touch with those below you because the problems that can get you fired come from your other executive peers and the C suite. Most of these problems are really hard to explain because they are kind of stupid. Someone's sleeping with the CEO and wants something. Another VP promised the company would do X for an investor who will withold investment if X doesn't happen. Everyone is terrified of a lawsuit because someone got liquored up and said something to the media at a conference. Our rock star, investor-placed, infallible CFO made a mistake and we have one third the cash we thought we did. And your job as executive is to make it happen even if it is stupid. So it comes across as domineering and very political:

"We're not doing that, Dave. We're doing this. Because I said so."

If the executive took time to explain:

"We're not doing that, Dave. I had to make a deal with CMO Schmidt (who referred me to the CEO for my job and is married in to the owner's family) because he committed that we would be ready to release feature X at convention Y at last week's investor meeting. So, that integration with Z that will make us a bunch of money isn't going to happen. I know, it's stupid. But we're doing the stupid. And yes, that guy who makes 3x what I do is an absolute idiot."

This is why I much prefer to work in companies where the owners are still working in the business and the whole team is "dealt in" on outcomes (i.e. in a startup, has options) and executives are looking to increase the valuation of options/shares instead of trying to max out some badly designed "multi-dimensional, goal-aligned incentive structure".
It is a fair claim.

The word rarely exists on its own.

It has roots in some Indian languages, but is not pervasive like it is today across all Indian cuisines.

Part of this is interesting to learn the stories of the early Indians who left India either as indentured servants which turned out to be an updated form of slavery, or emigrating as labourers from north India (and other areas) and how those migrations played out across the colonized world.

OpenAI acts like they are some underdog startup for PR purposes while actually having access to effectively unlimited resources due to their relationship with Microsoft, which rubs people the wrong way

Plenty of other companies had released GPT powered chat bots like ChatGPT, they just couldn't offer it for free because they didn't have a sweetheart deal with Microsoft for unlimited GPUs. Google did drop the ball though, they were afraid of reputation risk. Google should have used DeepMind or another spinoff to release their internal chatbot months ago

I'm not talking about the reality of Sam and Elon. I'm putting my ear to the ground and observing the way the media is (and will) portray them.

I'm with you, listening to his interview with Ezra Klein gave me the impression that he doesn't actually think that deeply about the possible impact of AI. He says it worries him, but then he seems to wave those worries away with really simplistic solutions that don't seem very tenable.
"downtown"

This sounds like the "downtown" real estate interests whining. By "downtown" they mean the area around Embarcadero Center. The working center of SF has been moving south into SOMA and Dogpatch for two decades. There have been desperate efforts to stop this, including the "transit center" and an unnecessary push for tunnels to terminate Caltrain in classic "downtown".

Those parts of SF seem to be doing OK. It's the tall office building sector that's in trouble.
Pepper’s ghost is also impressive when you see it for the first time. They’ve enhanced it do entire concerts now with dead music stars on stage for huge audiences.

I ran my own email server for many years. It was fun, easy, and gave me a lot of freedom and power. Gmail was never an issue for me, but I put a lot of effort into it. Others have not had such promising results.

For me, it wasn’t Gmail. It was Proofpoint and Microsoft. During a very email-critical time I couldn’t get emails out to certain Proofpoint customers or to Hotmail.com addresses (specifically). And it was important enough for me to switch rather than try to fix.

Microsoft was likely arguably fixable but Proofpoint wanted me to prove ownership and control over the entire IP allotment from which my mail was emanating in order to lift the restriction on my single IP. That wasn’t possible because I didn’t control the entire space my IP was in.

It’s become increasingly difficult to operate email independently without a lot more money and time at the least. This worries me.
One could argue that cookies need to be more securely stored than passwords, because they can allow an attacker to bypass passwords and all other authentication factors.
Well on the italian note calling 'curry' 'a thing' is like calling 'pasta sauce' 'a thing'. Like sure in a very vague sense but if you went into a restaurant and it had "Noodles with pasta sauce" as a dish it would (I hope) make you pause at least.
Another great book (by an American but from the Japanese perspective) is The Rising Sun: The Decline and Fall of the Japanese Empire, 1936-1945 by John Toland. One of the books referenced by Dan in his podcast and contains many first hand accounts of Japanese soldiers, citizens, and leadership.

Much more nuanced account of the history and mindset that lead to the war and sustained it than most of the responses here would indicate.
Future Shock Redux. Embrace Change
This sounds like the response of someone steeped in modern culture, safe from the influence of having to kill things as part of day-to-day life.

What is missing from the discussion is likely (if I'm not projecting too much here... I feel this way about myself as well) that you have a relatively detached relationship from death compared to people in times past and are disconnected from the experience of what it is actually like to be steeped in such experience.

I have no idea what it would be like to live in such a life, but to assume it's inherently bad is a prejudiced outlook based only on your own limited experience. If you were raised watching public executions every week, you might be singing a different tune, and casting doubt in the opposite direction.
