A guy a few years older than me at school was massively into maths and took out every book he could find from all the local libraries. When he finally arrived at Cambridge University to study, he ended up going to third year lectures because he already knew all the material in the first and second year classes. He went on to do a Phd in maths there. Imagine if he had access to YouTube. He probably would have ended up being capable of jumping straight into the Phd on arrival.
Yes, and in areas that get snow the roof would need to be strong enough to support the max snow weight plus the weight of the solar gear. I don’t know how much safety factor most buildings have, but many might require additional reinforcement.

I know of a city building here where they wanted to install solar and as they got into it realized they would need to hire a steel company to come in and reinforce all the steel roof trusses. That was custom work with welders up on scaffolds and a lot of other work to remove lighting and other fixtures to give them access (and then reinstall it all afterwards). They went ahead with it but with the extra expense it will never be paid back in electrical savings.
The Voyager probes transmit with a signal of about 23 watts, and are detectable (against a near-silent background) at a distance of about 0.002 light years (20 billion km):

<https://public.nrao.edu/ask/how-strong-is-the-signal-from-th...>

Signal attentuation follows the inverse-square law. A 1 kW signal is 43 times stronger than the Voyager's transmitter. It should reach about 6.6 times further.

So your 1 kW transmitter, if coming from a quiet noise floor (which the terrestrial environment is not) could reach at least 0.01 light years. Possibly further.
probably lower quality recording and playback devices on average, plus a big incentive to make money off the videos.
I largely treat ChatGPT as my personal Stackoverflow. Except I get to break all the stackoverflow rules.

I can ask for hyperspecific questions, ask one-line questions, ask it to generate code to do a very specific thing, and ask follow up questions. I can literally ask it to do my homework if I wanted to - though that is of limited use when you actually have to maintain the thing. At best "doing the work" is really just getting an example to get started.

Like Stackoverflow, you get more value if you ask a good question. I need enough expertise to ask a question to get started.

Does it always work? No. Does it completely get rid of Google? No. But it does work about 90% of the time. That's probably better than random stuff I find online :) We should carry skepticism at all times, regardless of the search.

Where is Google better / more useful?

* Getting to actual docs, straight from the horses mouth, with no hallucinations :)

* Looking for authority or social proof (What Stackoverflow or Reddit answers are highly voted, linked to, considered authoritative)

* Get the latest info - more up to date than the LLM's training data. ChatGPT will sometimes give me a version that worked several years ago, but doesn't work now.

Google is better at retrieving to things-about-the-knowledge; ChatGPT is better at synthesizing and presenting knowledge

All in all, it doesn't replace me, but creates a very seamless experience of researching, learning, and taking the next step.
I couldn't get access to the article, and the abstract gives no relevant detail to what they are assessing on which subjects... do the other commenters have an access to it, or could eventually tell us more about how this study was done ?

Show HN: HookShare – Relay WebHooks to Multiple Dev Machines
Working in a large team to integrate WebHooks from 3rd parties can be challenging and cumbersome. You need a proxy or a port forward so the WebHooks can reach your machine on a local network.

Adding to the complexity, often, 3rd parties only allow sending WebHooks to a single host per service tenant. These factors can lead to many frustrating scenarios.

HookShare aims to solve these pain points in the majority of use cases by implementing a proxy that is capable of delivering WebHooks to many hosts across multiple networks.

HookShare 0.1.0 was released today and I am seeking feedback. If this seems like something that could improve your development workflow, I implore you to check it out and let me know what you think. I am very open to feature suggestions or even pull requests!

Thanks for reading; Enjoy your Sunday HN!
All of these articles are worthless, what will decide this isn't some discussion, its the U.S. supreme courts(among others) view on machine learning being fair use or not.
Nothing, it works as intended for them.

At the same time, people have expectations for ability now.

A beginner might want to make a web request, good luck doing anything beyond mimicry with C from code samples if they get that far.

With python, they could pull it off quickly.
Sure, I'm building an application where had I done it manually, it would have taken me twice, or even thrice as long. I had ChatGPT generate a lot of the boilerplate and talk me through the general approach when I was stuck, and it was a lot more effective than Stack Overflow.
Not so much. WSL1 was a too-audacious attempt to implement enough Linux-style system calls in Windows to run Linux software. Which it did surprisingly well, considering...but also, often strangely, and slowly.

I think the name is a bit ironic, since the whole idea is to avoid using any Linux code in Windows, but implementing system calls so that the non-Linux parts of a Linux distribution could pretend Windows was Linux. GNU/Windows-pretending-to-be-Linux, as it were.

WSL2 is virtualization-based, so it could be seen as more comparable to Docker's installation package as seen on non-Linux platforms, or Parallels: a somewhat elaborate attempt to improve the virtualization experience in interoperation with the host, e.g. setting up NAT, network file systems, or installing special drivers.

I don't think coLinux offers as much as it did, now that virtualization micro-architectural features are routinely available. At least one part of coLinux that took up quite a bit of its code was special drivers to interface with the host OS. This code would still be useful and has parallels in current approaches, but the decisive trick of toggling between two kernels running in supervisor mode has less room to be useful.

Also, you could only imagine the difficulty of identifying the origin of bugs in that set-up.
As someone fluent in four languages*, I agree. I would even argue that the opposite of an advantage is true. Consider this: it adds unnecessary cognitive load. When trying to think of a word, it comes to you in four different languages, which isn't helpful!

I speak four languages out of necessity, not by choice. When you can focus on fewer languages, your proficiency in them improves. Although I can speak four languages, I always feel as if I'm lacking a certain level of expertise in each one. I wish I only needed to speak one language, saving my mental capacity for other things. Constantly juggling languages doesn't help.

The main benefit of knowing multiple languages in everyday life is eavesdropping on people in the street speaking their language, but that's about it.

Moreover, all my friends from my country also speak four languages. Unfortunately, I don't hear of people from Moldova faring much better than others.

*My mother tongue is Romanian, but everyone in Moldova also speaks Russian (due to the Soviet past). At school, I learned French and later studied in France. I picked up English mainly through computers and the internet. Now, I'm in the Netherlands and need to learn another language, but this one is proving slow to learn. I don't feel any advantage in learning a new language either.

I would gladly trade Russian and French over knowing Dutch right now ;o) There are months when I don't speak those two so they are of little use for me anymore.
I recommend looking into affective neuroscience pioneered by Jaak Panksepp.

He believes play is how we do all simulated learning and by extension is the basis (and mechanism) for all creativity.
> Who said every parking space? I didn't. Even at the coastal FAANG offices, EVs are still the minority.

Might just be me, but I read any comment talking about an ideal future scenario for charging vehicles (if not otherwise qualified) as being for the ideal world where the 99% switched to electric vehicles.

If you're talking about planning for the situation that we have today... that doesn't seem too useful and would be outdated in two-odd years.
I'm aware as I've argued it with a number of institutions. In my experience most do not and will not, and instead demand that that they receive consent specifically from the "student"... even for parties that were never students there and by the letter of the law ought be afforded no protection.

>Strict data and lazy functions is the default you should be using for all production Haskell code. This, for the most part, gives you the best of both worlds.

How does this interact with the rest of the ecosystem?

Sprinkling `!` everywhere seems like the kind of thing that could be prevented by having a build system-wide option. But then, some libraries might make the assumption that they have strict data, leading to other performance problems elsewhere.
Beat the Luck Factor:How Strategic Patience Can Make You Ready for Opportunities

Data Oriented Value Interner
- You can not be an effective software developer if you don't speak English (it's a second language to many of us).

- If you are interested in literature, history, philosophy or adjacent fields, reading sources in their original language is an advantage. Philosophers are more likely to be fluent in German, for instance.

- Reading news in foreign languages is often illuminating.

- Most translations are just extremely horrible. I can only understand a tiny amount of languages, but I'd rather put in the effort to read in a foreign language than suffer through bad translations.
They shadow ban ~100% of comments, unless they detect positive sentiment. If you express any nuance or criticism, poof, your comment is disappeared. What remains is a sea of positive, fully vapid, fully useless comments: an authoritarian dream of milquetoast public discourse.
Scaling Transformer to 1M tokens and beyond with RMT
French being my first language, I can says the same things with fancier words in english.

But sometime I will use English turn of sentences in French and it sounds weird ( just did it a l’envers here, pretty sure “turn of sentence” does not exists in English )

I’m ok at Spanish too. My main motivation is to be able to talk to random peoples when traveling.
English came de facto because of the internet and US soft power.

Not sure it makes me better at writing or speaking.

People are supposed to spend their younger years preparing for life in adulthood, and we do that by isolating them entirely from it and telling them theyre a loser if they don't know what they want to be for the rest of their lives by their 18th birthday.

I personally thing school goes on too long and teenagers should be out in the world finding their place. Maybe, if they weren't herded like prisoners while they're discovering their sexuality and going through the angst of becoming an adult they'd have a better idea about what they want to do, what works and what doesn't. It's not like you can't learn literacy, civics, algebra, some history and read a couple dozen books before the age of 12 or so, after that it's largely just babysitting because our society doesn't know what else to do with them.
It's okay. Thank-you for your reply.

I don't colorize either. But my focus is narrow, and I don't need to jump too much once all the tmux windows are open.

> If I'm going to rewrite - why not go the whole hog and do it in rust

We use black at work. One of the challenges with it is that it doesn't play very nicely with pandas, specifically its abundant use of []. So we forked it and maintain a trivial patch that treats '[' the same as '.' and everybody's happy.

What was maybe 15 minutes of work for me to get everybody's buy-in to use a formatter would not have been so quick or easy if it had been written in rust and now either we maintain our own repo of binary wheels, or all our devs now need to include rust in their build tooling.

I'm not invested in the argument one way or the other, just wanted to note that having the stack be accessible to easy modification by any user is itself a feature and one some people (including me in general, not so much in this particular case) derive a lot of benefit from.

P.S. cheers and congratulations!
I'm not too surprised. The advantage of learning another language is a social one. You increase the number of people you can speak with, thereby increasing your opportunities in life. Compare someone living in the US who can speak English versus someone who can't.

I hope they tackle "left-handed people are better at math" at some point. That's another one I'm tired of hearing about.
> Another great thing about YouTube not mentioned is the quality of comments. Something happened in the last 5 years or so that changed them profoundly.

I'm not a neuroscientist, but as I understand it losing a particular ability is usually a sign of brain damage. It is likely that she learned English as an adult (or older than a toddler at least) and it was being stored in a more specific and more constrained area of the brain.

But those channels you listed are not educational, theyre "educational" e.g. you may learn some factoids about physics are learn about some cool experience but in no way will they impart to you a deep understanding of any subject. Those sorts of edutainment style videos are not ever going to compete against say, a college degree.

Now there is excellent serious educational material on youtube, stuff like khan academy, etc, but thats not what people are watching for leisure.

If youre going to learn something useful, it is going to be difficult - e.g. it requires work on the part of the watcher. Gen z isnt just learning physics by idly watching veritasium videos.
My theory: in the United States, speaking multiple languages can be a sign of coming from a more financially sound household. I wouldn’t expect a second language to be any better for the brain than studying math or learning to play an instrument. As always, the most important factor is money.
Utilities would have to sell below the raw production cost price before that becomes the case, so that's not very likely to happen.
Switzerland is a bad example, because it's socially and multilingual.

Whereas if one looks at basically monolingual societies (e.g. most of the countries in Europe) one find that not only is not everyone bilingual (and no, "everyone" does not speak English) -- multilingualism definitely correlates with class and education.
Why wouldn't you use the comments in the source code as well as gpt-generated ones?

“Turn of phrase” is an English idiom, but it sounds like it does not mean the same thing.
The suggestion always seems to go in one direction. I don't see people suggesting they should have to pay for the costs they generate in lots of public things and on others (taxes cover a small part of this), only the value they believe they generate.

They then often also complain about socializing costs and privatizing profits, as if they are not literally trying to do the same thing
I really question the overall accuracy of this article.

1) Not prescribing hormones to post-menopausal women has caused a drastic reduction in breast cancer.

2) HPV vaccines are going to cause cervical cancers to drop like a rock.

I can go on about other things, but we're definitely winning against cancer overall. And there are a lot more preventative things like these that are in the pipe.

Now, if you want argue that our treatments once you get diagnosed with cancer still suck, I'm far more sympathtic. Chemotherapy is still hell unless you luck out and have one of the magic receptors.

However, simply being a gadfly is insufficient. You also need to propose how to improve the situation. And this article shows absolutely nothing on that front.

We are in a dev tools / libraries VC hype cycle. While we'd like to find sustainable ways to support open source, not everything needs a VC investment to distort alignment with users. We should find ways to support bootstrapped or lifestyle businesses. I'm curious why streamers and content creators can make a living but we do not tip OSS developers on the same way. Maybe it's about connecting with your community, which non devs do much better

Had a thought recently. What's stopping someone from separating table migrations from others like functions/triggers?

The standard tables can use the standard process while triggers, etc are run declaratively. When you change something, a tool could simply tear everything down and rebuild it. No need to worry about data since those are handled separately.

Would performance be a concern? Or is there something I'm missing?

One of the commenters higher up in the chain expressed a sentiment that classifying the lab theory as misinformation or hate speech silences the discussion.

I agree and argue that we should not go as far as to label the topic as such and dismiss it. Not because the lab leak theory is particularly credible, but because dismissing ideas is harmful to society in my opinion.

As for your experience with people dismissing violence towards the Chinese due to these ideas, I can understand how that would happen. But I still don’t believe significant violence was caused.

I am also originally from Moldova and speak the same 4 languages. If I had to guess, this is fairly common in Moldova -- at least in private schools.

I would say there is a very mild advantage, even recognizing vaguely similar words in other languages when traveling. I find Russian to be very useful in a way that French and Romanian aren't.

English, Arabic, Chinese, Russian, and Spanish are the most "useful" as they each unlock a large part of the world that tends to prefer its own.

Edit: Spanish is probably on par with the others.

You need to produce much more plants to feed the animal first instead of directly feeding you. So to stay on topic (unlike your "quality") this process uses more fossil fuels.
Well for starters, you have courses on the freecodecamp channel which will literally teach you everything you need to know to get AWS DevOps qualifications. But you can teach yourself literally anything. MIT has seven thousand videos on its MIT OpenCourseWare channel. 3Blue1Brown and Khan Academy can teach you maths and science. If you want to be a repair man, or a mechanic - you can find a video of how to do it on YT. Design circuit boards, make movies, learn instruments - all on YT.

It's not that university degrees don't work. But there are other ways that self motivated people can learn and there are currently very few paths for those people to get recognition for their learning other than coughing up thousands for a piece of paper from a university and jumping through hoops. Personally I think we should have a lot more universities like WGU where you can just go and test out of exams immediately if you can demonstrate you already have the knowledge.
