> features introduced today are much more carefully defined than the ad-hoc features of yesteryear.

Many of them are just as ad-hoc, even if they are better defined, and meant to cover some holes in previous ad-hoc specifications. For example, the entire `subgrid` spec is patching one specific hole which actually has a proper general definition: "These <children> however are independent of the parent and of each other, meaning that they do not take their track sizing from the parent. " [1]

So instead of solving that general problem, we have a hyper-specific patch for a single feature. Which will definitely clash with something else in the future.

I mean, the entire web components saga is browser developers patching one hole after another that exist only because the original implementation was just so appalling.

> The difficulty of building a state-of-the-art browser is almost entirely about performance.

But that performance is directly affected by the numbe rof specs and features.

Why limit yourself to just one building, when you can design a whole city, right?
What's the Name of This University? (UIUC)
And yet here we are discussing The Bell Curve, a book that simultaneously claims that "it is agnostic" as to whether racial IQ gaps are environmental or genetic, but thinks that there's no point in any interventions to reduce or eliminate low IQs.

I think they're liars that at the very least want you to believe the gap is mostly genetic. But they've carefully avoided ever directly stating that, because of the Nazi eugenics vibe that would give off.

So to try to avoid being accused of misrepresenting these disingenuous liars, I stated not that they believe it's 100% genetic, but rather that they believe no interventions would help.

It's their logical inconsistency, not mine.
Isn't there an even simpler answer? Back then most countries had their king ad their top military commander and the president of the US had a very similar role to a king.

The SSO part is a bit confusing since it sounds like the product is letting you download account and permissions data based on your own api key. It might be helpful if you clarify how you can help with the SSO portion of things.
> Almost nobody outside of HN has a similar experience with Google products.

This statement is imprecise. Youtube creators, for example, hold a similar view.

Grandma doesn't make decisions about what cloud platform to use, or where to host content. Among key decision-makers, distrust of Google is widespread.

Google will do fine in search (at least until / unless it's disrupted by Bing or DDG), Android, email, and in other consumer products. Where this will eventually kill Google is in B2B: GCP, Google Workspace, etc.
I've tried my hardest to eliminate any Amazon order from my life this year. Whenever I needed books, or a receiver, or a nose trimmer I've made sure to shop at the category leader instead of Amazon. I've resorted to them twice, for weirdo stuff I couldn't readily find anywhere else. Well turns out the weirdo stuff only Amazon carries is crap, and I'm two for two on returns this year with Amazon.
You're conflating capitalism and greed. Plenty of greedy people in non-capitalist systems.

yes, ideally through existing libraries as much as possible (for example, Logflare currently supports pino: https://github.com/Logflare/pino-logflare).
Well they could read the documentation. nchar("abc") returns 3.

That's a lot easier for new programmers than len("abc"), which requires them to understand Python's string implementation. len("abc\n") returns 4 - confusing as hell for a new programmer working with a very common data analysis problem, because "length" is too generic to know it's the number of characters. nchar("abc\n") being 4 makes sense, because "\n" is a character representing a line feed. Applying the same logic, len(137) returns TypeError: object of type 'int' has no len(), when it should be 3.

At the end of the day, the programmer will always have to make an effort to learn the language they're using.
Haha. If only we all got a choice, huh? :)
New Textile Uses Warmth-Trapping Secrets of Polar Bear Fur
Even if the technology froze at GPT-4 and never advanced, it would still be enough to change the world in all kinds of ways. The fact that the tech is still advancing as well is huge. Also now you’re seeing tons of solo devs, startups, and large corporations all coming up with new ways to use AI. This “burst” is not like the others you mentioned.
Same here. The technically inclined portion of the Mac-sphere has largely moved over to Mastodon and stayed, as have a lot of devs and designers. Any time I post something I’ve been working on I get a bunch of new followers and a number of replies, contrasted to Twitter where I got almost nothing.

Reagan’s shutdown of mental hospitals is a big problem, but a distinct lack of housing and space is SF's problem.

California and other warm states, on a long timeframe, absorb a lot of homeless people -- only places you can sleep outside all year and, like, not die. Not an option for NYC or Minneapolis. So inevitably they have all of these people, and no place to put them. Nor the political will to crack down, since California Capitalists want things to be nice while still flogging the NIMBY-isms.
Yes, and you are doing so on a post about a random project written in Rust, which doesn't have anything to do with the policy proposal that just happens to be under review during the same time.

This just diverts attention away from the original project that was posted here.

Are you going to post the same thing under every project written in Rust during the next weeks?
The FSF is based in Boston, US. Something like 75% of US programmers are male, around 65% white and a further ~20% Asian [0].

If we want the best advocate, assuming they hire somewhat locally, there is a 75% chance that candidate is male, and an 80% chance they are white or Asian. The FSF movement already struggles to make up numbers of people who actually care about freedom, it can't afford to be picky adding extra requirements on who it is searching for. Maybe the best person is any weird combination of traits, but the post is pretending the FSF has a luxury that it does not.

The original post is not calling for what is best for the Free Software movement, or a sober approach to figuring out what is best. They want to use the FSF as a vehicle for political goals not related to freedom.

And besides, the FSF doesn't appoint leaders. Leaders appoint themselves. The FSF didn't come along and found Stallman.

Anthropic actually uses a more cutting edge fine-tuning than OpenAI, a technique that doesn't rely on RLHF. Maybe this gives it an advantage in some areas even if their base model is only on the level of GPT-3.5 (used in free ChatGPT).

Isn't VSCode with Copilot (or even with Intellisense) a "syntax-directed" editor in modern terms? Those tools are helpful precisely because they understand the AST of the underlying language. They can often suggest correct code that should come next. And they're wildly popular.

Am I missing something?
I don't see the std::vector example as a micro-benchmark, we're not talking about wasting a few microseconds in a contrived example, we're talking about destroying the amortized constant time growth performance of the data structure because of an API goof.
If you're not in sand often enough to "get good" you're probably not in sand often enough for slight vehicle to vehicle differences to matter to you.

The difference between a Tacoma and a Ram 1500 is inconsequential and nobody is cross shopping a dually truck and a minivan. Even among comparable vehicles the performance goals they had when programming it are going to dominate over weight differences.

Better (which I assume is your euphemism for "more") regulation isn't neceesarily the answer, or even particularly the answer. Do you want to force payment processors to do work they don't want to do? Isn't there a word for that?

> That makes it sound as if Putin attacked because an opportunity presented itself.

The west still appeared to be disrupted by COVID. The US and allies sent mixed signals on Ukraine which were interpreted as the US and West will let nature take it's course. The opportunity was there for Putin, and he took it. Putin wasn't wrong. Evidence: Biden tried to evacuate Zelenskyy leading to the famous quote, "I don't need a ride, I need ammo." The surprise to everyone was Ukraine fighting back ferociously. Now, Putin needs to realize the window has closed, and it is time to stop the madness.
How do you approve a payee with your bank? At the time you grant them permission to debit your account, or at the time of the first payment?

There is no technical channel for the former within the SEPA Direct Debit framework (i.e. the first time the payer's bank learns about a mandate is with the first direct debit), so I'm wondering if this is a different/domestic direct debit scheme.
I've personally seen developers "forced" into using DynamoDB because some AWS professional services consultant suggested it. You could argue the developers should've known better, but they had relatively little real world experience. The costs of Dynamo are relatively small compared to the development costs of using it when it's not a good fit.

“How to find photo opportunities?” is not an inherently bad question, but in my opinion the right answer shouldn’t be “well, you can take photos of X, Y and Z”. The right answer should be a counter-question: “well, why don’t you see opportunities for photography around you, including in your home?”.

The answer should have more to do with learning to see beauty/stories in the mundane, learning to capture/communicate them to others by way of photography (e.g., learning to work with existing light and recognizing the effects time of day or year, weather or air pollution have on it), and having the right equipment in the right situation (because even if you see a scene and know how to communicate it, it’s still pointless if you shoot a 1+ kg bulky setup that you can’t easily carry everywhere without thinking, or have to swap lenses while the moment goes away, or you envision a long exposure shot but it’s too bright and you forgot your ND filters).

Without changing my location, one week I see a lot of things I want to photograph, another week barely any. It’s not easy to intentionally get into the former state unless I go somewhere new (yes, at first I was fascinated by Hong Kong’s neon advertisement too) or get new gear to play with, and it’s not always good to be in it because many of the resulting photos are low value junk. It’s easy to accidentally slip into the latter state by neglecting mental health (being preoccupied, burning out, or just in bad shape), and it’s always not good to be in it.

Looking at the photos taken by the author, I feel “seen” so to speak because I do a lot of the same—and I am trying to stop, because I think it’s a dead end when the photo doesn’t tell a story, especially now that a realistic photo of X, Y or Z can be generated on demand for a few cents they have little value.
I went to my state school under a low income program (EOF, Educational Opportunity Fund). I found all resources available to me as valuable, and I wouldn’t have graduated on time had it not been for their services.

I’m generally a cynical person, but I can’t be cynical about the administration of the EOF program because everyone I interacted with under that program excelled at what they did. They didn’t need to go above and beyond for the poor students, but they did.
It's not my assumption, I'm merely going by the author's empirical observation. No one whose only real connection to you is English lessons that pretends to be sick one day to cancel their lessons forever is a genuine friend, obviously.

I live in a college town, and have lots of liberal arts friends in academia, and have had this discussion many times, a discussion that has a lot of peril, as they get upset very easily about this issue!

As near as I can tell, when they say "critical thinking" they really mean "persuasive thinking". Humanities, given its lack of rigor (or ability to have rigor) compared to STEM, often falls back on persuasive arguments, and so studying them requires you to become persuasive if you want to excel. This is why they can often come into conflict with STEM "arguments" - STEM isn't about persuasion, but about proof and testing and evidence and ... math! You can't persuade the laws of the universe, they are just something that exists. That's why they consider scientists so pedantic.

Anyway, that's the theory I've developed, I hope it has persuaded you some, but if not, it is likely that I trained as an engineer and am rather tepid with my persuasive skills ;)
At some point Musk will need to wake up and accept that he screwed up with Twitter, whether in paying an inflated price or in how to run the company. It seems highly unlikely it is ever going to have the market cap he paid for it. What he seems to want is twitter to generate a good amount of money by doing anything possible, and since there are no good ways for that to happen, he has to resort to ridiculous things which only sink twitter earning capabilities. At some point he might need to think of twitter as a sunk cost.

I have no opinion on the future of twitter as a platform, but a money making platform it is unlikely to become.
I think you severely underestimate "frameworks" if you think generating valid HTML is somehow harder with them than without.

The governance is certainly the main issue, but bad governance is easier to sustain when those who aren't impacted are more likely to go around denying the problem.
I wouldn't buy one because they are such profoundly antisocial vehicles. Size, mass, and racecar like acceleration do not exist in a vacuum. They destroy pavement, they are dangerous to basically everyone around, difficult to control, and also incredibly loud at highway speeds.

They are not vehicles intended for living in a community, and it's a travesty that the government has not put regulation in place meant to protect those outside the vehicle.

Plus you're also investing in getting the talent together in the same building. Even if the foundational models aren't the money maker there's still a ton of opportunity having the best experts at building those models working together and figuring out which branches that LLMs spawns can turn into real markets.

It's a high risk investment at this stage but the money is being thrown at the people as much as the current business plan.

The worst offenders are Hummer, Rolls Royce, Mercedes, Audi, Polestar/Volvo, BMW, Cadillac, and Rivian, which dominate the top-50 spots. Interestingly, the world's two best-selling EV models, Tesla's models 3 and Y, are near the bottom of the list, with weights comparable to those of much smaller cars that have modest range and a lot less space for passengers and storage. Some Hyundai, Kia, and BYD models also come out looking quite good in terms of weight.
OMG YES! I wasn't thinking of that aspect.

Absolutely, for safety gear, get only top notch equipment!!!

Safety gear turns many incidents from something like notifying your family or waking up wondering "why can't I remember or see anything" to something like "damn, that's a huge dent in that helmet" or "so much for those goggles".

I've heard participating in a number of sports:

"If you only have a $10 head, then sure, get a $10 helmet ..."

.

.
Indeed, I would NEVER buy any safety-related gear from Amazon or AliBaba. I know too much about Chinese manufacturing, focused entirely on profit, and quality is literally a foreign concept to them. , and that doesn't even start to mention the scams, where they not only illustrate climbing, but falsely claim ratings. I work in carbon fiber design & fabrication, and will never even buy a bicycle made in China, even from a top US company.

Just don't do it. Saving a few dozen or hundred dollars or euro is not worth the extra risk.

> That doesn't get us full CUDA support, but we can run OpenCL apps at least (with x11/nvidia-driver, x11/linux-nvidia-libs and the nv-sglrun script from emulators/libc6-shim). And NVENC if you bother to compile it.

Why would you want to limit yourself to the operating system that cannot train, say, a pytorch model on your nvidia GPU?

We had some success running inference on CPU, which works for as long as the model isn't that large. But that doesn't scale for larger models, where you also want to batch requests and run them all at once on GPU.
