I hope there’s still room for improvement. I haven’t been able to get ChatGPT to do anything coherent for stuff with > 5 functions or logic that is even the slightest complex. It likewise frequently stumbles/hallucinates when trying to integrate revisions. This is all using GPT-4 as well.

What’s it’s absolutely fantastic at is the small, one-off scripts that were tedious and time-consuming to write, integrating well-specified changes into existing code, tests, and boiler plate config stuff.

I know this is all “for now” talk, but it will be interesting to see how quickly or if at all it can get to production-ready code in the absence of pretty thorough review by someone who knows how stuff actually works. Natural language is a fantastic new interface, but (for now) you still have to know how to describe stuff that actually works.

Vocal minority is complaining about another vocal minority targeting them, including violently. It is also complaining about other vocal minority trying to make their art and fun illegal (drag).
That article is bunk. Louis Rossmann and others in the right to repair community have praised Apple for providing these repair kits. They let you do factory-quality repairs.

What the author of that article doesn’t realize is that all of Apple’s modern phones are waterproof. To achieve that factory seal against liquid ingress requires fancy adhesives. You can’t open these things with a jeweller’s screwdriver. It takes highly specialized equipment to open the device and then reseal it when you’re done replacing the battery.
I can assure you there are "modern" uploads of Turbo C++ into You Tube.

Wrong lede, IMHO.

The article starts with the desire to attend Rust conferences while strapped with firepower. Unfortunately, that's a loaded (ha) topic, which I'd guess will alienate maybe half the readers of the article, before they learn that there's things in the draft that do bother them...

Just flipping around the draft, I see things like this:

> 5.1.2 Websites

> You may use the Word Marks and Logos, but not the Trade Dress, on your webpage to show your support for the Project as long as:

I think anyone will use these terms and senses of "Rust", "Cargo", and "Clippy" on Web pages for most whatever purposes they want, not only to "show [their] support for the Project".

There's more in the draft like that.

At first glance, this Rust Trademark Policy looks like it could function like a treaty amongst a handful of megacorps. It could also be used to carve out of a fiefdom.

Rust is clearly designed for systems programmers. Systems programmers learn to be savvy about standards and vendor dependencies, and (when they have a choice) to weigh what they invest in.

Personally, I'm all for open standards, building solid systems, and "defending the Internet". I don't yet know what to make of this document.
Never thought about that. Generative AI (combined with TikTok-like social media) is probably the biggest threat record labels have ever seen.

Maybe they can slow it down enough to start using it themselves... but how long is that gonna last if kids can instantly make their own songs.
I do something like this in some projects of mine.

RabbitMQ is completely happy to do this. On the other hand, literally every python client library would fall over and/or wedge forever periodically. Celery in particular was a flaming pile of garbage (at least circa 2018).

I wound up vendoring the best of the bunch (amqpstorm, fyi), and adding a bunch of additional logic to handle all the various corner cases. That, plus a bunch of careful thought about how the queues are structured, and I've been pushing millions of messages a day without issue.

I wasn't able to get a lot of my changes upstream due to the extent I had to alter the assumptions the library made about control flow.
This! In all my years of working with RabbitMQ is been super solid! Throwing all that out in exchange for a db queue, honestly doesnt seem smart (with respect)
> Book curation, or for that matter, any trustworthy product curation, is highly valuable

I can vouch for that. A small foreign-books bookshop in the city I live in has recently hired a new bookshop seller and, as such, the selection of books has slightly changed. For the better, from my pov, as I'm now in there every week or so and each time I get something I didn't know I had wanted (until seeing it in there, that is).

All this to say that the unknown unknowns are a real problem when it comes to purchasing books, and a curator who can solve that for the clients of a bookshop is a highly valuable asset.

It's not only my personal experience but even people like Irvine Yalom (in Becoming Myself) note that the special form of therapy is not as relevant as the personal connection.

From a quick glance, correspondence therapy is also used on top of an existing relationship most of the time. So I don't see any problem with my initial hypothesis.
Yup, that podcast is incredible and, although it’s hard to pick his best book, ‘Return of a King’ is astonishing.
That only saved you $4,750 if your time is worth $0/hr. Assume it was two eight-hour days, times two people, or 32 hours of labor. If you make $149/hr, it's cheaper for you to pay the quoted cost. If you don't, it's cheaper for you to do it. Which it sounds like it was. But thinking you just "saved" $4,750 doing it yourself isn't the right way to look at it.

Cool. What about a post called "getting better MRI results"? With helpful tips about how to adjust a machine they didn't understand and implying they were better equipped to read it than the people who understood both anatomy and how the machine worked? Would context matter then?

Hold on, let me answer that for you. They'd be called a jackass and laughed out of the room.

I saw the Nyquist Frequency mentioned in the American Cinematographer Magazine. The article illustrate how detailed patterns, like sweaters, can produce a fuzzy jagged artifact called moire. This is because there is too much information for camera's sensor to interpret and summarize the details into pixels (ie. surpassing the Nyquist Frequency).

Their suggested solutions were to 1) get a wide-angle lens to reduce detail beamed into the sensor 2) use a larger image sensor or 3) remove the object causing moire artifacts.
Yabbut in some circumstances, a "prince" is effectively a king. I'm thinking of the princes in the Holy Roman Empire; they paid fealty to the Emperor, formally; but they were the masters of all they surveyed. And the word "prince" in literature often seems to mean exactly the same as "king".
There's 'spicy', but then it can also be ambiguous (unless your tolerance is really low) with something that is full of flavourful spice notes but without the, er, heat.

I'm not sure Hindi does either though? Garam is certainly ambiguous.
I'm not sure to what you're referring by "your own token", but most do offer a range of popular tokens by using one of the 3rd party payment providers like Coingate.

I had paid for my servers with some Litecoin I have that I usually use for small purchases because of the low fees.
There is _still_ no other word processor I'm aware of that can properly convert to title case. Not to mention Reveal Codes. I... might actually use this, not just play with it.
It seems to be because the sensation induced in the mouth is literally that of heat. I remember Adam Ragusea on his excellent YouTube channel pointing out that capsaicin makes the mouth much more sensitive to temperature. So funnily enough, the sensation of something being too hot temperature-wise, and something being spicy is pretty much the same thing. It's also why cold water seems to help for a bit, but does nothing to eliminate the effects of the capsaicin as opposed to something like milk.

I’m at the point where a low battery in a smoke detector triggering a fire would be an actual upgrade. Have tried cheap, expensive, and multiple models. Currently have zero active and about 8 on a shelf. They randomly go off even with new batteries. My house isn’t on fire.
If you are talking about large USD equivalents, I think they reflect not necessarily the amount invested (though there's certainly lots of dirty money) but what people would trade these for.

If you have a thing that everyone wants today, even if you invested zero dollars in it back in the day, it may be worth a mil. (However, if it turns out the thing is not so great it can cost half a cent the next day.)
On Volkswagens it's pretty typical to need to replace the timing belt and water pump because I guess those tend to fail at a higher rate after ~120k
I don't really care about guns at all, but I don't mind those that have opinions on either side of the argument. I prefer those without strong opinions one way or the other, because I care more about finding fun things in common.

I really think the Rust Foundation is acting childish. They should be the bigger party. They're literally rubbing this issue in everyone's face for no reason, and if you read the blog posts or watch the videos - this isn't even limited to guns. They're preventing all sorts of Rust activities. You can't have a "Rust and Anime" meetup or a "Rust Robotics" meetup.

I'm pretty sure from a legal standpoint the Rust Foundation has just prevented Rust meetups on the Georgia Tech campus. That's really smooth as we've had meetups there up to this point.
> and you know the American right would rip it to shreds, given they already see social security/medicare as too expensive.

So let them complain! Might as well try and do the things we want to do. They'll find something to complain about, regardlessly. A certain tan suit comes to mind.

WordPerfect had email too. Novell bought GroupWise from WordPerfect. Before the Novell acquisition, it was called WordPerfect Office, and before that WordPerfect Library. It was available for DOS, Windows, Mac, UNIX (SCO Xenix, AT&T 3B2, NCR TOWER), OS/2, VAX/VMS, and Data General minicomputers.

Confusingly, Corel now sells "WordPerfect Office" which is nothing to do with the original WordPerfect Office. The current "WordPerfect Office" is an office suite composed of WordPerfect (word processor), Quattro Pro (spreadsheet, acquired from Borland), and a few other apps. The original "WordPerfect Office" was not an office suite, it was a groupware suite, with email, calendaring, document management, etc.

And GroupWise is still around, but now called Micro Focus GroupWise, since Attachmate bought Novell and then Micro Focus bought Attachmate. And more recently, Micro Focus has been bought by OpenText. I wonder how many people still use it though. I remember when everybody was jumping ship from GroupWise – 15+ years ago. If everyone was abandoning something 15 years ago, who is left today?

Addendum: Someone on Reddit claims [0] there is only one large GroupWise customer remaining – US Federal Bureau of Prisons. If true, makes sense – where else but some government agency would something like this survive?

The "Following" tab is showing only a fraction of your timeline tweets. Go to the "For You" tab and see an endless firehose of unrelated stuff together with some of the tweets of people you were following and were supposed to show up on the "For You" tab but didn't.

Not to mention tweets in private circles being shown in the "For you" tab

"twitter is working fine" is a bad take. It looks like it is working fine if you look at it for 30s, that's it.

Ask HN: Isn't functional programming space inefficient?
Yes, mutation is bad as it gives rise to untraceable bugs that are sometimes hard to track. Yes, FP is more mathematical, easy to reason, parallel friendly.

But what about space. When dealing with large objects, functions have to copy them and process them and sometimes even produce large objects that are slightly modified than the input object. Doesn't this require lot of space?

Are we just wasting resources because memory is cheap now?
Why is it one or the other? I'd argue we shouldn't conclude anything until we know for something a fact.
> In 2005, Utah adopted a 10-year plan to end chronic homelessness using a Housing First strategy. Although other areas had employed the practice of prioritizing housing for people experiencing homelessness, Utah was the first jurisdiction to adopt this strategy as part of an official plan at the statewide level. Within 10 years, the number of people experiencing chronic homelessness in the state of Utah fell by 90 percent. During this time, HASLC developed several apartment complexes for people experiencing homelessness, with its first permanent supportive housing development opening in 2007.

It's a bit of work but allows for fine grained retry logic. Some jobs should not be retried but escalated, others might need a retry in one hour, others can be retried at a lower priority. I prefer a flatter stack and total control over the queue. That being said, I have RabbitMQ running in a production project that I haven't touched in years, it's rock solid and I'm pretty sure these guys had it misconfigured.

Yes, these are user land threads. Sometimes they are also called fibers, green threads, virtual threads, or stackfull coroutines.
It's funny; the ambiguity of English "hot" makes it difficult to even think clearly about the different kinds of hotness. Ginger and garlic can produce similar sensations of hotness to what you get with chilli; I sometimes make a Nepalese-style lamb "curry" that has no chilli or pepper in it. It's very mild, but you could be forgiven for thinking it's flavoured with chilli.
Children don't receive elective surgery. It's just not a thing, in any medical guidelines or ethics rules, anywhere in the country. Older teens, _extremely rarely_, are allowed to have top surgery, but it's case by case.

Children _can_ receive puberty blockers, which _by definition_ are 100% completely reversible. The process to start treatment is universally difficult and involves multiple years of therapy and concurrence of multiple medical providers over time.

Both, but more the second one. How many people, even of those few who care enough to get this set up, would think to open some arbitrary WordPerfect document from an untrusted source, or even from anyone at all? Who would they be collaborating with who also uses WordPerfect?
But you won't do it alone, you'll have the most advanced AI next to you.
It should also be worth mentioning that AI development is specifically optimizing to reduce the difference between human and AI generated texts. In the end it is simply a rat race that the tools for detection won't win as there won't be a conclusive difference.
FWIW, that's a pretty standard behavior for Chrome teams) and, as far as I understand, related to how they are evaluated within Google.

Totally agree. Anyone who wants to carry should by virtue of the 2nd amendment, commit to at least one weekly all-day all-night training in the militia training center of their state.

Slack Read Receipts
Hear Ye! is a new Slack bot that facilitates collaboration and communication on Slack. It allows message authors to require an acknowledgment from anyone mentioned in the message. Hear Ye! sends daily reminders to the intended recipients until they acknowledge the message by reacting with a emoji. Hear Ye! is especially useful for team leaders and project managers who need to ensure that important information is seen and acted upon. A free beta of Hear Ye is available for all Slack users who want to try it out.

...As an aside: interesting: the Economist follows the set-theory consistent rule of putting the punctuation of the hosting paragraph outside the quote marks («In “Once Upon a Prime_”,_ just published this week»), while the New York Times follows the conventional procedure of putting outer punctuation inside quotes («In “Once Upon a Prime_,”_ Sarah Hart explores»).
That is busy work that should neither be necessary nor encouraged.
I care inasmuch as each of my kids had perfectly readable handwriting up until the moment their school wasted weeks teaching them cursive at which point their writing became a mess, which in turn caused them a fair bit of anxiety over the years.

> In fact, in very early Java versions, the JVM threads were multiplexed onto OS threads (also known as platform threads), in what were referred to as green threads because those earliest JVM implementations actually used only a single platform thread.

> However, this single platform thread practice died away around the Java 1.2 and Java 1.3 era (and slightly earlier on Sun’s Solaris OS). Modern Java versions running on mainstream OSs instead implement the rule that one Java thread equals exactly one OS thread.

It does, but that's almost an irrelevant distraction from the consistent theme of Rust demanding things he asserts they have no right to. That is the point being made, not anything about guns.

In almost every example here you could decide that what Rust is saying is not unreasonable.

But in almost every case you could just as easily come to the conclusion he does, because his logic does hold.

(I don't mean the defend my wife & kids from terrorists at the software conference stuff is logical, we can agree that that is goofy, and that any event organizer or property owner probably (not a lawyer) has the same right to say that as they have to say "no shoes no shirt no service". But even then, that right is the event organizer's and the property owners, not the Rust foundation's unless they happen to directly be the one's throwing the event.

I would say what Rust is trying to do is more normal than reasonable. It's not uncommon at all, but that doesn't absolve it of critique.

And his point about intent is valid. The fact it's a draft and the purpose of a draft is exactly to discover objections like these, and may be revised before it's ratified, doesn't change what they want, which tells you the direction of all future updates, and the bias when judging any disputes.

Without that one wacky element which has nothing to do with Rust anyway (any more than any other wacky belief like in gods), I see no problem with this assertion of the character of whoever contributed to and approves of this draft, based on this consistently themed collection of points.
I think the ruling was that if it's transformative enough, you can copyright it.

So as long as you put your own twist 8n it, maybe you can own the work.

But I'm not a lawyer, so don't quote me on that.

As for the overhead, maybe. But it's worth the try. And you'll have more time, since most of the work will be done by the AI.
