Some feedback:

There are several ambiguities in the "pudding" challenge.

- Unclear if offenders are defined as taking >2 puddings or >=2 puddings (conflicting wording; note that the placeholder comment also refers to this, and should also say 'snr_manager_id' instead of 'senior_manager_id').

- Unspecified how top 5 offenders are chosen if there are ties for 5th place.

- There are cases where multiple puddings are taken at the same instant (probably shouldn't be allowed, because it would be unclear who took the last pudding).

I'm also pretty certain that the model answer is incorrect (regardless of how these ambiguities are interpreted). Please check this; I'd be happy to send you my code.

If the focus is on coming up with the SQL queries rather than getting all the fine details correct, consider adding (optional) intermediate stages to help users check their intermediate results, because debugging based on the final result is difficult.

It would be nice if a model solution was shown after solving the challenge, to compare and learn.

Finally, I think you should ask the user for permission before publishing their score on the leaderboard.

It would be better to boot straight into emacs because it's already a whole OS.
I was hoping this was about lesser known macOS keyboard shortcuts. Alas.

Apple has a pretty exhaustive list of so-called document shortcuts that I find particularly useful: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201236#text

Ctrl+A and Ctrl+E in particular to jump to the beginning and end of a line are a pair that I use dozens of times per day.

Same with Opt+Delete to delete the previous word.

I use Opt+Left Arrow and Opt+Right Arrow to move the cursor back and forward by whole words so often that I didn't even think about including it in here until I unconsciously used it while editing text.

Also:

Cmd+Space brings up Spotlight and is a great way to launch apps and open documents.

More correctly, they are almost completely unregulated.
The entire Internet at the 'fantastic' time of Reddit was very much tilted towards the elite class that could 1. Afford an expensive computer or phone (or have access from University) 2. Afford Internet (and for an added bump of exclusivity add mobile Internet) (or have access from University) 3. Have the time/inclination to put lots of energy into CREATING Internet content (via either a hobby site, or composing well thought out posts). What you are complaining about is the quality of a restaurant that has gone from an exclusive new spot you discovered to a Chili's franchise. (Phil's Fish Market?).

What everyone on Hacker News seems to long for is an Internet limited to 'that class' of people. They complain about billionaires and advertising, but maybe they should take a broader look at what they are really longing for.

Yes, Reddit is not even part of a publicly listed company that has investor pressure to meet quarterly numbers, it is privately owned by the Newhouse family. People just like having more money than less money.

Fascinating. When I had fever dreams as a kid, I would have a sensation that was similar. It was the need to do find/choose something infinitesimally unlikely. Like finding a single coin dropped anywhere in the Pacific ocean. And if I failed the universe would cease to exist.
I'm the former kind: I choose C because I like it above all else. [1]

That said, like the author, I'm trying to find an alternative. Well, more like I'm building my alternative because I hate Go. And Rust. And anything else.

I don't know why C fits my brain, but it does. I think it's because my brain is low-level; I like messing with assembler when I get the chance to optimize.

The comparison would be if investors now suddenly say "Hey, we didn't know FTX were trading with cryptocurrencies, we don't like that!", not that things were hidden behind financials and corporate setups.

Even though the troubles of FTX were hidden behind financials, someone who would look deeper into it would spot issues for sure. But maybe not from a brief look, while in this case with Stability AI, no one didn't even do a brief look?
Yeah pretty much. There was never any real expectation that Moore's observation would result in infinitely improving compute performance, and Intel famously demonstrated that reality was much closer to Jim Gray's "smoking hairy golf ball" future.

[1] "Jim: Here it is. The concept is that the speed of light is finite and a
nanosecond is a foot. So if you buy a gigahertz processor, it’s doing
something every nanosecond. That’s the event horizon. But that’s in a
vacuum, the processor is not a vacuum, and signals don’t go in a straight
line and the processor is running at 3 gigahertz. So you don’t have a foot.
You’ve got four inches. And the speed of light in a solid is less than that.
So this is the event horizon. If something happens on one side of this
thing, the clock is going to tick before to the signal gets to the other side.
That’s why processors of the future have to be small and in fact golf ball–
size.
Why are they smoking? Well, because they have to run on a lot of
electricity. The way you get things to go fast is you put a lot of power into
them. So heat dissipation is a big problem. Now it’s astonishing to me
that Intel has decided that this is a big problem only recently, because
people knew that we were headed towards this heat cliff a long time ago.
And why is it hairy? Because you’ve got to get signals in and out of it, so
this thing is going to be wrapped in pins." -- https://amturing.acm.org/pdf/GrayTuringTranscript.pdf
Minimal google searching yields plenty of results. Here’s one for you:

“As Magdalena Cerdá, the study’s lead author, and her coauthors wrote in JAMA Psychiatry, “Although occasional marijuana use is not associated with substantial problems, long-term, heavy use is linked to psychological and physical health concerns, lower educational attainment, decline in social class, unemployment, and motor vehicle crashes.”

If you dont like that study, there are plenty of others. I’m not here to LMGTFY.
I couldn't even find a repository of the images, which I would assume would have information on exposure time. Makes me wonder if these are testing images. The closest I could find was 17 minutes for an image from their 2016 run.

It seems strange to me that a number designed to measure risk has nothing to do with it. If this were really true, a smart bank would come along with their own score and undercut it.

They have many years and many millions of data points that connect credit scores with repayment of loans. Banks that do a better job of measuring it get wealthier. It's a very simple system.
How do you feel about zig?
Yes, societal institutions have a flywheel effect of normalization on those who pass through them. This is foundational to a cooperative society. They provide a background context to evaluate actions within, and define oneself in, or against.

> If you don't water your grass daily when it's over 90 F / 32 C, then it will die.

This is just completely untrue. Many places water ~biweekly in the summer and the grass is green as hell. Also, in monsoon season it rains enough on its own that you don't have to bother.

I also made sure to specify that it's mostly the winter and monsoon season where it'll grow on its own. Winter it does _not_ get over 90.

I’ve always wondered about the 8 hours of sleep thing. I rarely get more than 5.5 hours a night, but I’m not tired. I’m a healthy weight, eat reasonably, and work out 10-15 times a week (cycling, running, lifting, and playing the drums (which is surprisingly good low-level cardio (avg hr 125ish (resting hr normally in the 40s))). No, I’m not a lisp programmer.

Do you think I should be aiming for more sleep?
Same here. I pretty much only watch car channels and some meme compilations and that's exactly what YouTube shows me, nothing else.
Fascinating. I experienced something very similar as a kid, with huge grey spheres in a black void. They felt implacable, indifferent, yet malicious. And I had a sense of futility and utter insufficiency.

I also experienced these feelings later on psychedelics and in some other circumstances of adult duress.

I really do wonder what to make of the similarities.

Prevention:

Limit screen use and take breaks.
Go outside.

Move the screen to an angle where you are not straining to look up and keeping your eyes open wider.

Use lubrication drops with no preservatives, especially adults.

Use the 20/20/20 rule: Every 20 minutes take 20 seconds to fully blink 20 times.
Dunno how long ago that was, but these days universities tell you that they're prohibited by law to disclose such information. In the US the applicable law is FERPA-- which was passed in 1974-- but there are similar rules in other countries. You might well have been witnessing a violation, it certainly happens.

The general difficulty in checking such things is part of why that form of fraud is so ubiquitous.

Tesla tried it. There was no point Tesla building more swap stations because so few people paid the premium to get a swappable battery. It turns out that people who won't buy an electric car unless they can swap the battery will find some other reason not to buy an electric car if that reason is removed.

Your link says that as many as 354,000 Russian _and_ Ukrainian soldiers have been killed _or_ injured in the Ukraine war, but you present it as a number of people killed in a single country. Why doing that?
Socialization is an artifact, not the purpose, of most modern schooling in America; not like kids weren't socializing in mines and factories, though they likely had way more sense of consequence for their behavior in those environments. That said, education is also secondary except for, in urban public schools at least, the tier of students that are filtered for to benefit.
I concur. Used to be an Ubuntu user, and for me Mint fixed quite a few of the problems I started having with Ubuntu (e.g. snaps). Plus, I find their defaults quite usable. If you like choice, give it a go using a live system.
I don't disagree with that at all. However, micropayments have come out before, many times, in many different iterations. It never got any traction. Again, I'd love to see a different model of monetizing the web too, I just don't have any reason to believe this is it.

With iPhones, nobody wanted it until they got it, but then they couldn't get enough of it - even though it started out only doing a fraction of what people wanted to use it for.

With micropayments they've had it several times and each time they said "no thank you please."

The lesson I get from all these replies is (shock & horror!):

> There are plenty of recent examples where investors didn’t do enough due diligence in projects seeking huge valuations.

Exactly. This reminds me of Fast.co [0] who recently shutdown after attempting to raise more VC capital when it was revealed that they only made 600K and with a very high burn rate.

I don't see how it is so difficult for many commenters here to see that investors were mislead by the claims made by Stability.ai's IP, and now they're also are burning cash with questionable revenues being generated whilst begging to VCs again to raise at a higher valuation.

Some of these investors just run into hype and get burned repeatedly and never learn from FOMO.

The most interesting thing in this space is that what OP describes, and the benefits that people claim to receive from hallucinogens, are both documented by scientific literature. OPs response is actually far more well proven than any hallucinogen-related benefit currently being studied.

The fact that OPs is "controversial" isn't actually set in any science, it's set in extra-scientific mushrooms-as-religion mentality that is currently proliferating as the "current thing".

A drug-based solution to depression, anxiety, etc would be incredible, but unfortunately outside of humanity's reach today.

If you're not interested in science and instead seeking religion, skip the drugs and reach for your closest religious text and start reading. As a Catholic I recommend the Gospel of Mark as a starting point. It's far easier to believe that multitudes of people 2000 years back witnessed some dope stuff and started following some rules that make everyone feel great today, rather than the universe transpired from nothing in some scientifically unprovable theory and potentially HPPD-causing substances are the only way to feel whole.

Indeed. Worth noting that Accelerate.framework provides fast and correct bulk f16 <-> f32 conversions as `vImageConvert_Planar16FtoPlanarF` and `vImageConvert_PlanarFtoPlanar16F`, and that the arm conversion instructions are unconditionally available for apps that compile for arm64 (they're part of the base ARMv8 ISA), so any _new_ code shouldn't need to worry about this.

This is why I've kinda built my own libc on the bare minimum that the system gives me. The POSIX and Windows API's are garbage; C the language is great.
No, if you want to sell some crypto to a friend of your, that's fine. I don't know why localbitcoins shut down, but it's perfectly consistent for "facilitating transactions at scale" to be illegal while "doing a single peer to peer transaction" is legal.

That's how unregistered securities work, right? I am allowed to buy half of your small business, even though it isn't registered with the SEC. That doesn't mean you're allowed to sell stock in your small business and advertise that on the internet.
I am a C programmer. For me the language is a means to an end. I prefer to work on problems where both performance and code size is paramount. The kinds of problems where it makes economic sense to spend months or years of engineer time designing and implementing a solution that will compile to a 50kB binary.

I think primarily about the kind of machine code I want to generate, and pick a language that best approximates that ideal output code while still allowing the source code to be as clear as possible.

From these constraints I keep coming back to C. Zig is the most appealing contender in terms of next-gen languages.

If I could get safety without giving up anything, of course I would take it. But I am increasingly convinced that this is not generally possible.

People have to remember, back in 2022-08, AI was still not a big thing. DALLE-2 was only released 2 months ago, and was just a quickly forgotten novelty.

> What is anybody supposed to do with this response?

I think GP’s post has actionable advice in it:

> As a general advice one should be very careful when taking psychedelics with other prescribed medications or having a history of mental illness.

One simple thing a person could do (in the spirit of being careful) is researching the interactions between different drugs. For example, you could Google “psychedelics + SSRIs” if you were on SSRIs, or “psychedelics + social anxiety disorder” if you had social anxiety disorder. It doesn’t seem too difficult if one is already googling “psychedelics + Steve Jobs”

> with applicants who place 15% to 20% down payment experiencing the biggest increase in fees….

This is the biggest smell to me.

Here's the thing about FHA mortgages compared to conventional; If you don't pay 15-20% down, you can -never- get rid of the Mortgage Insurance Premium (MIP, equiv to PMI on a conventional), short of refinancing to a conventional mortgage. Additionally, MIP is based on the default amortization of the mortgage, not the actual. So paying extra doesn't lower your MIP, short of getting to the point you are paid off early.

Frankly, it is just a -bit- of a slap to the face, since for most of my life I have been in a spot where I made -just enough- money to not get all the grants/etc to help with home ownership or student loans, but in keeping up with credit and life circumstances had a very hard time getting a home.
