I agree with you and I think it shows a deeper problem. The media has been trying to train people to think in terms of good and bad associations, instead of facts and logic. Some people, as well as AI, have fallen into the mindset that you should judge things based on their associations with other things - if you're associated with something good, you're good, if you're associated with something bad, you're bad.

Once the way your reasoning works is that you assume everyone's dumb, everyone's thinking with incredibly simplified associations, then you're eventually going to fight against reasoning and intelligent thinking because that requires a more complex view of the world.

And the media has been training people to think with associations and brands.

You're trained that orange man bad by constant bombardment of negative associations. You're trained that secure elections are bad, by labelling exposing fraud as conspiracy theories, and labeling insecure election methods as "right to vote". Your reasoning is shortcutted to an associate with some misleading brand coined by the media, and these brands are reinforced by being constantly present with high frequency in your training set.

You're trained that the true meaning of democracy, rule of the people, is populism. Instead, you get a different brand of "democracy" which is "representation", and which is fulfilled by the media cherry picked corrupt person of the right skin color or sex.

So when this guy here disagrees with you on ambiguity of this factually correct statement, and implicitly assumes causual connection by association, it's because people are trained, daily, to always assume causal connection by association.

If you ever use logic that offends the associative mindset, they are trained to associate with you negatively as well. The goal is to replace language between people with likes, emojis and dumb animalistic associations, and leave the language to the narrative shapers to tell you what to do. If you do meet someone, even if you speak to him and try to convey information, all they'll hear are negatively associated words, which they are already conveniently trained to ignore and stop listening.
An LLM would've done a better job with this sentence^

I thought it was no big deal since most citrus are cultivars but Citron is one base fruits the cultivars come from. There's much more to it than this video but it's certainly interesting.

The article overlooks a fundamental side of the social contract that is at least equally, if not more, important: how much time and effort (not money) do personally invest to spend time with your friends.

In my view, it's only awkward when the money side of things is not aligned with the personal investment.

That dinner example from the article actually shows this: I buy you all Olive garden dinner, or: I take the time to invite you to my home, spend some time clean the house think on what to by and prepare, what music to play, maybe a movie to watch after etc. in order to have a good time together. This is a much more thoughtful and mutually beneficial form of investment in friendship than just throwing money at it.

Another example could be: Hey, I bought a new board game (or PS5 or something else), wanna come over and play? You might have spent quite some money, but the goal is to be able to invest in spending time with your friends.

The moment that is (or is perceived to be) your main intent, most folks would have a hard time looking at this as bribery.

Springs are what absorb impacts. Shocks, or hydraulic dampeners, are what keep you from bouncing on the springs forever after hitting a bump. They're a system, but a car with dead shocks will still absorb bumps without transmitting to the cabin, it will just make you seasick.
During the lockdown me and my girlfriend to watch movies remotely synced, I wrote a service to sync VNC instances together via websocket. It worked via the web control panel of VLC and a Chrome extension was handling the websocket messages and clicking on the buttons. It even added some indicators to show if we both connected.
Every night, at 3 AM, my cat will meow and paw at the bedroom door like a banshee. I tried everything to get him to stop, including the off-the-shelf air sprayers that trigger with motion.

Eventually, I decided to build my own. I 3D printed a case and trigger for an air sprayer can, created some electronics with an ESP32 and RF trigger, and wrote my own "motion detection" logic - this time with an ultrasonic sensor, which works much better in the dark.

Now, the cat knows that a meow or paw will get him sprayed, and my wife and I can finally sleep!

I also built an air filtration system for my 3D printer, a level checker for my water softener, and a custom keepsake box that only opens with an RFID chip that you can read more about on my blog: https://www.mikebuss.com/blog
I'll try to get back with some numbers later today.
> Hahah yeah I said “Siri play classical music on Spotify” and siri said “I’m afraid I can’t do that” and then starting playing Sabaton (which is Power metal and the exact opposite of classical music).

As a Sabaton fan, I laughed out loud. Technically they have classic music sounding (roughly) songs, e.g. Christmas Truce, but yeah, that's a massive fail.
Ha ha, I must have pulled up along side you the other day.

Just kidding, I'm in the U.S. But more than a few times I have suddenly got Mexican musical content on my radio in the car when passing close to another car.
Indeed!

Though when my wife and I have talked about "going off grid" and living remote, she wanted to understand my limits and asked about electricity.

I pointed out that electricity led to the discovery of logic gates, which led to integrated programmable circuits, which led to the Von Neumann Architecture, which led to Ethernet, which led to the Internet which led to Twitter.

It's a slippery slope!
> Rust is a game changer in that it is built from the ground up to offer memory safety without garbage collection and still aims for zero overhead abstractions.

Safe Rust cannot represent circular data structures which makes entire classes of algorithms and architectures unimplementable. You have to workaround these limitations by creating auxiliary structures for tracking references or use reference counting; neither are "zero overhead abstractions." Rust is only zero overhead if all you do is pass values up and down the call stack. Its false appeal says more about the simplistic types of applications folks are writing than anything else.
Personally i would higher consider the galaxy fold over the pixel fold. i remember when samsung released their first foldable phone it was a very expensive trainwreck and they are now at a point where i here they are decent

i would not for the life of me trust google with a 1st attempt at any hardware implementation. especially with one that will be pretty expensive
the article is based on Amazons document and not based on subjective personal experiences.

"amazon lagging behind flipkart" comment was in regards to market penetration in smaller towns. Given that all the gier 1 cities are well covered by the tech giants the next market to tap into would be the small cities and towns. the arsicle indicates thats where amazon it falling behind flipkart in making progress.
Sure, and you can do that with Rust today. There's nothing stopping you from writing a custom data structure with its own custom allocator. The "abort on OOM" policy is not a property of the language, it's a property of certain collections in libstd that use the global allocator.
Depends entirely on the company. Even after that, there are a lot of variables. And mistakes, even well-intentioned ones.
That's the thing, I'm not actually sure it does help someone work faster if everything it suggests needs to be fact-checked whilst under the guise of being always confident and never knowing it is wrong.

A lot of people liken AI to having a junior role working with you, but most junior positions have been to university and have a pretty solid understanding of a field in the first place. I wouldn't have a junior role hallucinating things that don't exist on a regular basis.

The speed of generating an output is only as meaningful as how consistently correct and appropriate that output is in terms of its value. I remain unconvinced.
>Living without a car in those cities is severely limiting; I tried to do that in two of those and felt it was very difficult to buy groceries and get to work quickly and do easy recreation things on the weekend.

So now we're just splitting subjective standard of living hairs? I think we can all agree that living car free in Manhattan is fine and living car free in nowhere Idaho is not but drawing a line in the middle always just turns into a dumb circle jerk.

>It's not even practical to stay out late in many of those cities.

That's mostly because people who think they know how other people should live don't want the bars open all night and in cases where that's not politically possible to just decree they screw with other things they can effect like public transit schedules.
Funny but far from being insulting.

Maybe a good idea would be to able to submit your picture and get roasted on it, like on reddit.
But there isn't such a thing as a raw model, is it? In order to receive anything from a language model it has to 'learn' some objective. And this objective has to be imposed from above.
Surprised for that to happen from an Apple TV+ series. I was under the impression all voice assistants had a standard way to play inaudible sound to briefly disable their activation for this exact situation
Reminds me when I had to read barcodes from a USB-connected barcode scanner on a Mac. The manufacturer supplied a closed-source library which only supported PPC code and they told me that they lost the source code, so I couldn't easily add intel support.

In the end I sniffed the USB protocol of the windows driver and was delighted to see how they abused the control endpoint rather than setting up proper data endpoints.

I was so happy when my Mac application was able to talk to the scanner and, compared to windows, completely without any driver installation thanks to user-space IOKit on macOS.

Writing software to make hardware beep is even more fun than writing software that doesn't involve hardware making noise.
I'll open-source it when I get the embarrassing bugs worked out.
> (Not sure if your last sentence was a joke meant to undermine your argument preceding it? Maybe by mainframe though you're referring to servers.)

No. It's reality. Mainframes are here to stay. IBM continues to develop and sell plenty of mainframes. Several other manufacturers do as well.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_Z#IBM_z16

Where I work has applications dating back decades with complex data analysis algorithms developed by very smart people. Strict backwards-compatibility is critical. We have mainframes.

There are many other reasons to run mainframes. For example, mainframes offer pretty incredible features with regards to redundancy, and making everything hot-swappable in case of failure without interrupting workloads. That's especially useful in places like the financial industry. There, a single failure or error can cost much more than a mainframe.

They're a niche, but a big enough one to support a multi-billion dollar business. It shrunk for many years, but it's currently even growing.
Yes, and even the way you split bills may be different, depending on the country you may foot the entire bill with the understanding that the other person will do the same the next time, or literally just pay your half (Or just what you ordered, but that may be considered skimpy in some circles)
They should not compare themselves to Colima (yet) because while Colima supports Kubernetes, Orbstack does NOT.

Zones are an artificial construct.
NY prioritizes this stuff in a way that’s great for optics but is wasteful, ineffective, and at a snail’s pace in practice. Construction costs for subways, for example, are about $3.5B/mile [1] as of the most recent line built. Corruption is rampant in unions, contracts, and consultants. The unions are nice enough to demand positions like break room supervisor or elevator operator (to press buttons in an elevator), to other workers that no auditor or construction professional could figure out why they were at the work site, as mentioned in the below article. Not to mention a MWBE program that dictates how government funds are spent based on race and gender, which inflates construction costs further.

Bike lanes and other non-car infrastructure? Good luck using them. Between police and other supposed city workers parking wherever they want with (often fake) placards to mopeds and ebikes going 20+ mph in the wrong direction, biking and walking in NYC is simply not the enjoyable experience it ought to be. Traffic enforcement might as well not exist - anyone can drive around with a paper plate from Texas or drive however they’d like because NYPD refuses to enforce traffic laws.

If nature wouldn't have great pest control, there wouldn't be any nature. The whole point of evolution is for living things to get better at resisting pests (also avoid being eaten and mate more successfully).

Industrialized agriculture has exchanged the reliance on natural resistance and pest management with energy expenditure (i.e. chemical fertilizers and herbicides/pesticides). That is a choice, not an inevitability. Regenerative approaches to agriculture show that there are alternatives that can hold their ground in terms of productivity and economic sustainability (try to google "syntropic agriculture" and "regenerative agroforestry" or "holistic grazing").
I've been using this, it's really excellent
It's his learning platform. It's hardly surprising.
Alkaline batteries are still what runs most consumer battery powered gadgets. 4 alkaline batteries are nominally 6v(actually 5-6.6 depending on charge), so 6.2v seems perfect if you want to run a 4x battery device on a more permanent power source.
As someone who tried buying clothes online I agree with you in a different way. For us customers as well it’s a waste of time. The fit, colour, feel is so impossible to do online that just it defeats the purpose. Now I don’t buy footwear, clothing online at all. Not even underwear. Never!

To make this analogy complete you’d have to compare current milk production to some fictional milk that would require far less human processing and facility investment.

>"Hey I rented a house for the weekend, wanna come party with me on the beach" isn't awkward at all

Agreed. I feel like the proper thing (read: what I personally would do) is to find a way to contribute to the excursion (food? booze? party games?), but there's no obligation, and I wouldn't expect it if the tables were turned.
Papers, please
Eh, I don't know. I think that existence of crossword/todolist GTK apps is not nearly as much of a win as GIMP, Inkscape, Krita, KiCAD, FreeCAD and Scribd becoming actually competitive would have. It's indicative that biggest OSS app success, Blender, is not using OSS graphics library but rolls it's own UI. Rawtherapee, very highly regarded RAW file editor uses Qt. There's no decent looking mp3 player on Linux for heaven's sake! Every one that exists looks like shit or has zero functionality.
SwiftKey on Android does the same thing to me to random words, I think it's learning some words should always be capitalized because I once used them at the beginning of a sentence.
About 10 years ago when Droplr deprecated their free packages (and went to paid only) I've made my own free alternative - https://pics.rs followed with its own screenshot app for Windows (C#) and later Mac (Electron) and still use it daily... I needed a screenshot tool which allows me to select a part of the screen, uploads it and immediately copies URL to clipboard. Now I'm finding myself using it without app by doing CMD + CTRL + SHIFT + 4 which copies image directly in clipboard and then opening pics.rs and pressing CMD + V (paste event triggers upload if it contains image in clipboard)

I haven't touched the UI since then, its ugly but it works, I've tried allocating time to make more modern version and even started refactoring it a few times with a few friends in our spare time, but unfortunately finding time next to full-time jobs and family is much harder than it was 10+ years ago :)

I've never advertised it anywhere except shared with friends and used it on some forums in the past, but it slowly grew to 10k registered members and almost 200k uploaded pictures. At this scale (~100GB of data) its very cheap to keep it online since its using very small amount of resources on dedicated servers where I host some other important apps with regular off-site backups, but if it ever spikes and becomes problematic financially it will at least give me more motivation to make something more serious out of it or just slam ads onto it and call it a day (worst case scenario, not a fan of it).
One option is to say something like "When (you get a 6 figure job, your options vest, ...), you can return the favor or pay it forward". Two birds with one stone: express confidence in the person and make it feel less awkward.
I mean not really, I have a x1 tablet here and the performance and battery is fine, the screen is very nice, and it's not heavy.

You aren't an LLM, but you also aren't an English professor, and it was asked to pretend to be that. I would imagine it would be better at pretending to be a professor in a random subject than any random person would. (Assuming they aren't already that kind of professor.)
I love the word nerd-sniped and indeed it applies to HN comments very often. We just want to bicker.
Why do people on Hacker News dislike the Windows kernel so much, without knowing a gram about the innards of Windows? All you lot see is the Windows shell, which is fairly trivial to replace (ergo why it has changed so often in the past 30 years since NT 3.1).

Windows NT is a remarkably modular kernel architecture, with design decisions far ahead of its time. Things like (acronym overload here) COM, (A)LPC, UMDF, Windows subsystems (for Linux and Android), and an absolutely immense media and utilities ecosystem: Direct3D, DirectWrite, WASAPI, etc.

Why not hope Microsoft open-sources the entire Windows stack including the NT kernel, NTFS drivers, and the Windows API, rather than hope it 'uses Linux'?

Yes, they're pretty bad. But they're cheap and that's why they still exist. The number of toys that I've repaired on account of those leaking - unprintable - s is larger than I care to remember. And yet people keep buying them. I'm pretty sure I've seen the same toys more than once.

I've had friends pick up the meal for a group at the end (as I have as well)--certainly for one other person it's pretty natural so long as one person isn't the one habitually paying.

But I agree the restaurant thing feels a bit more transactional.

The vacation home thing seems pretty normal. Hey, I'm renting this place and would like some company. As an invitee, I'd probably ask to bring some food or whatever but seems pretty normal.
>Do people expect him to?

Imagine not wanting to share trivial amounts of your wealth with your friends.

They are friends...right?
Thanks man. TBH I never dug deep into those json files. I need to take a look.
I don't mean to be the grammar police... but inventing people at a restaurant is quite a delightful mistake.
You can use capacitive water sensors taped to the outside of non-capacitive containers (aluminum foil, a resistor, an arduino, and a plastic 5 gallon container), but honestly all you need are DNI timers to "automate" any grow operation. Put your lights and pumps on a schedule and there is absolutely no reason to get more creative. If you do anything besides low-level timers you're making it complicated and brittle with no added benefit.

There are plenty of great projects and commercial regenerative farms that have demonstrated that exploited and degraded soils can be made productive again in a matter of years with little to no external inputs in terms of fertilizer and water. The Work of Ernst Götschl (syntropic agriculture) comes to mind in tropical climates, or Mark Shepard in mid-west US.
