I’ve built this to prove to myself that viewing text in 3D fundamentally changes the interaction and information gleaned from the relationships of files and software. I’ve had fun, and some people like it. It’s a toy and I want more for it, but it gets harder and harder to make progress by myself. New topics, necessary optimizations, bad fundamentals, and honestly… lack of internal motivation.

It’s a Mac app, it works in iOS too, and it has an AR mode. You can point it a git repo to download and view all the files. Hopefully someone else may enjoy it.

P.s.: to the idea of highlighting word definitions, I’m working on personal dictionary building and visualizing as well.. imagine heptopod language but with words. Same tech, different code flow.

I don't disagree with you, the goalposts were always being moved by the country that lost the last stage, usually the USA.

> Then people should be humble enough to live on the very little. Not ask for some other entity to provide its people with so much more (like full housing).

This applies to all people, not just those at the bottom. Yet those at the top keep charging high rates, or NIMBY against building more housing because of the effect of that housing on their quality of life and net worth. When you NIMBY, or charge high rates, you are asking other entities (those at the bottom) to provide you with so much more.

This is bad news. Red has been using garbage patents (obfuscated Jpeg2000) to hold back compressed raw for years now :/ Nikon was on their way to invalidating those garbage patents. Not on the grounds of it being obvious technology using off the shelf third party algorithms, but on technicality - RED showed the tech and took preorders before applying for patents https://www.dpreview.com/news/9301564383/nikon-denies-red-s-...

The article makes a direct reference to "price at checkout" though it's not quite clear to me if that wording was intentional. If they really mean "price at checkout" then we are talking about blatant price fixing that goes beyond MAP and is quite serious.

>Walmart rivals allegedly risked higher wholesale prices or being cut off by Energizer, the largest U.S. disposable battery maker, if they charged less at checkout than Walmart, the world's largest retailer.
When the train is moving at a constant speed, you can just scale the image manually to make it just right. If it's moving at a non-constant speed, you can apply a spline or similar to remove the distortion.
This sounds plausible but is subtly incorrect: the US uses split phase power and 100A means 100A on each of the two legs (+/-120V). So if you balance the legs correctly, you can get 240V*100A on 100A service. This is important for example for car charging where both legs are used and balanced.

Client is something like 20 LoC in js with `ws` npm?

You mean typed client with runtime assertions, cross language spec etc, right? That's what I mean, people should be discussing jsonrpc with joi vs zod vs jsonschema, their runtime overhead, cross language support, codegen support etc.

Short answer is whatever currently we have for json will work. There is no point in complicating things.
| begins a pattern match. ++ is list concatenation. :: means "thing-on-the-left is of type thing-on-the-right". That's all standard Haskell syntax.

Egison seems to introduce some kind of advanced pattern-matching syntax with $ and #. I can't figure out what it is, or how it works; but I imagine it's quite simple once you actually know what it means.
It strikes me as strange that this many people are enlisting the help of a sperm bank to have children. What are the use cases here? Simply “sterile would-be father” and “single woman wants child”? Am I missing something? That can’t possibly be a sizable portion of the population? If they are, those feel like issues to address.

That's my exact point. The compiler is explicitly assigning those roghts to the iser. It's a legal contract. It's not implicit in the design of the license. Each entity's rights to ChatGPT are exclusively described in the EULA that entity signed to ontain access.
This is a new(ish) ticket. We had a 9€ ticket for three month (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/9-Euro-Ticket) which was a huge monetary relief. Sadly this is not continued, but as a consequence (due to high popularity of the 9 euro ticket) the 49€ ticket is introduced as a compromise.

It generally is cheaper than most (virtually all) monthly tickets. Additionally this one is valid for all of Germany instead of just for a state or specific region. "Job Tickets" used to commute to and from work, subsidized by cities and/or companies, often cost ~90 € per month in my experience.
There's a YC startup that's doing something along these lines. They recently posted something, don't remember if it was on front page or an "YC startup jobs" email.

Frankly, I think the bigger cliche is: “sure, it’s easy to get started, but Rails doesn’t scale!”

America is 120v now, I believe - and many houses have a centre-tapped neutral supply [1] which means they actually can have 240v outlets in garages, workshops, utility rooms (etc) for high power devices.

Hey, I'm working on this! If it's interesting I built DoctorChat: https://doctor-chat.com/

You can chat messages on WhatsApp, SMS, and now a ChatGPT plugin to query a vector database of health information (Pinecone) and respond with GPT-4 for higher quality results than default ChatGPT. The chatbot then prompts the person messaging to verify results with a real doctor and offers to connect them to a Doctor that I'm working with.

I was doing fieldwork and would get sick in foreign countries where I didn't know the language. My friends would drag my food-poisoned body to a hospital where they inevitably would try to give me prescriptions that I wasn't familiar with and wanted to double check. I wanted to build for myself a WhatsApp bot that I could text while I travel to verify health information in low-bandwidth internet situations.

I shared it with some friends, and they shared the WhatsApp contact with other friends and family, and now it's being used by people in about 10 countries around the world, in several languages.

Would love any feedback if you try it out! The phone number for SMS/WhatsApp is +1 402.751.9396
Or link to WhatsApp if easier: https://wa.link/levyx9
I really like this language. Very intuitive and simple syntax (once you understand the fundamentals). And very powerful too! The pattern matching examples get addictive after you've read a few.

Egison can be used to build a symbolic math backend and do all kinds of pattern matching. But its really niche requirement and it's never really occurred to me in all this time "hey, this might be a good time to use Egison"

I wonder when it might be a good idea to use Egison and if there are some current users in production.
>pointing out it's a domain where the AI can generate a vast amount of its own training data

How is that exclusive to AlphaZero? Moderators everywhere are already panicking about GPT generating vast amounts of "its own training data" and irreparably polluting every public space on the internet.

I agree that the amount of data it would need to produce would be very large and expensive, but there is no shortage of blank check writing at the moment.
Why Are TV Writers So Miserable?
The ScienceQA paper from amazon supports this. In a task where images and text were used for prediction tasks (and often the images showed physical things like pulling a door while the text was a question about physics etc), even the items with only text and no images see higher accuracy.

My garden is my garden, specifically because if I had to "own" a product that other people worked on, I think I'd go insane. It's impossible to find people who think like me and would do things in a way that wouldn't bug me. With a product that real customers will use, I either care too much, or I have to stop caring at all. So my garden is my little universe where whatever happens (good or bad) is on me. The stakes aren't high. It's just for fun. And it's mostly manageable by myself. Oops, the squash got destroyed by squash bugs. Forgot to water the basil, it died. The slugs took out more tomatoes. Oh well! I can just go to the store, nobody's getting screwed except myself.
This is an example where the federal government can do something that is impossible for companies and local governments. All the transit companies in Germany have different systems, different cards, some don't accept digital tickets at all -- but now the government just said they have to accept this new common digital ticket and it's done.

Similar thing happened in Austria with the Klimaticket. There are dozens of local transport authorities, and the government just decided that there should be a yearly ticket (Klimaticket) and everyone has to accept it.

Australia (NSW): AUD$50/week cap.

That might be true if they were evenly distributed across the world, but as they'll be clustered rather tightly near the donor, the chances of them unknowingly having kids together goes up quite a bit. Part of our aversion to that is probably just cultural, but genetics could be a problem.

The bootstrap project did the other way around:

They did build lisp from a intermediate assembly language, then a bootstrap C compiler to compile tinycc then gcc 4.7.4, then gcc (the last iso C++98 one), then the last gcc (is c++11).

Yep, moving gcc to c++ is one of the biggest mistakes in open source software, ever.

I am sure you have thought about this, but curious how you are handling safeguards for crises that might require people to intervene, like rare conditions that nonetheless require medical attention or mental health problems that pose imminent risk of self harm.
> Heat pumps are about 250-300% efficient.

Sure. When we’re talking about the temperature band they work in. Once it hits 0C the efficiency is very low, and by -10C is almost doing nothing at all. At that point you have two things happening…

1. You are using electricity to warm your coils outside to keep frost and snow off them.

2. You are using drastically inefficient heat for your home.

200-300% in their band under ideal conditions, maybe. Seems like cherry picking.
Thank you for your kind words Guillaume :)

why would anyone want to have a short kid given the choice? its objectively worse for the kid
I like Termux, but most of the time I use a real PC, because of the better UX. However, together with Samsung Dex most of the usability problems disappear and you can use your phone as a work station.

Sometimes when I don't want to start a PC I just connect my phone to my USB-C docking station and Termux has most of the tools that I need to get something done.
An even worse mistake is treating all three of those model layers as one and the same, which tools like Django REST Framework make it so easy to do. It all seems well and good for a while, as developers build up a big codebase with ease, but then are confronted with an almost insurmountable amount of work when the need to refactor arises.

The thing I’ve noticed when stepping into a codebase where this problem has been allowed to occur is the lack of layers of abstraction. Having those different models built up from the start allows for an application to shift along with the needs of the product. Having a single layer, with the endpoints talking literally directly to the ORM models, almost inevitably leads to calcification, spaghettification, and disastrous performance.
This is irrelevant to the discussion, anyway.
Sorry for being a noob. But I am not sure that I understand how a chat gpt can decide this. As I thought that it just uses probability to find the next likely word for sentence completion. How does this even work? And can we trust what the ChatGPT outputs?
CEO is obviously lying. "My lawyers disobeyed my instructions" is wholly unbecoming a CEO. CEO's job is to get the big stuff right, not pass the buck to the people who work for her.
Interval-training is a lot more useful. Regardless of what key you're in, particularly if you're not playing (or don't know how to play) from sheet music. E.g. given two notes, what is the distance between them in semitones.

Once you can recognize any interval then, given a pitch, you can identify the other notes in any chord (major, minor, etc.) it's a part of. Useful for tuning instruments (e.g. guitar). Useful for understanding chord notation (charts), and what chords are being used (progressions). Useful for quickly figuring out all the notes in a melody. (Especially one you want to remember.) Useful for deciding what -scale- is being used (dorian, phrygian, pentatonic, etc.)
American houses mostly have air conditioning, which is a huge load. We don't, and make better use of shades, awnings etc.

European houses have had two or three decades of efficiency improvements made to everything, so we don't have the 5kW clothes dryers mentioned above.
This seems like a pretty huge infringement on civil liberties. Choice in procreation with consenting partners is a fundamental aspect of individual autonomy.

It doesn't sound like the individual was deceitful, given they are able to track his donations.

On the facts, the Netherlands has 17.5 million people, so the chances of a child marrying another is roughly 1/35,000.

If anything, This is an argument that sperm recipients should demand some level of transparency about the donors.

Then again, I am somewhat of a libertarian and think consenting cousins and siblings should be able to marry.
Total daily energy expenditure has declined due to declining basal expenditure
Depending on your definition of long term… I’ve got ~900lbs of propane tanks sitting beside my house, a propane forced air furnace, and a dual fuel generator that can run on propane.

Assuming I run the generator for 12 hours a day at half load (powering my whole house, still firing my equipment up and working remotely…) and the furnace runs for three hours a day throughout that time… I can keep going for a couple of weeks. If I _can_ get gas to fuel the generator with that can be extended pretty substantially—the generator is really what’s using up all my propane.

So in the realm of the kind of power outages where you reasonably expect society to recover and continue… works pretty well for me.

But yeah, in the future I would love to move over to a heat pump and solar generation / local storage. That extends your potential runtime pretty near indefinitely. (We’re talking lifetime of batteries and solar panels at that point instead of “when the propane truck can come by next”.)

Despite the article, I don’t think it would be a good doctor.

I read a report of a doctor who tried it on his case files from the ER (I’m sure it was here in HN) It called some of the cases correctly, missed a few others, and would have killed one woman. I’m sure it has its place, but use a real doctor if your symptoms are in any way concerning.

The coldness comes from space, which is very very cold. We tend to lose most of our heat to space via radiation, rather than convection. The difference is between one of those infrared dish heaters, and a heater that blows warm air. CO2, being rather opaque in the infrared, doesn't let the heat escape into space. Instead, the radiation is reflected back into the atmosphere, heating the planet and the oceans

I really, really wish we had this in Norway too.

I'm quite often on business trips, and regularly visit the major cities here - I also love taking the public transit - so right now I have 6 different apps on my phone. Would be nice with only one, as well as tickets that can be used wherever.
I guess you can educate Microsoft on that then.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/c-runtime-library/c-ru...

It doesn't matter what people think, rather the CS point of view of a language runtime is.

That library is the runtime.

C implementation without the respective runtime is what is called a freestanding implementation as per ISO C.
We need to realise that 9 euros or 49 euros makes no difference. Both are peanuts for the vast majority of people.

Ultimately these schemes are based on the belief of the current people in charge to public transport should be free. Hence they pushing to get there. But trying to argue that 9 vs 49 is a huge difference feels rather immature.
Ask HN: Is C# worth learning to only get a formal job?
One of my acquaintances, a retired informatics teacher, piled me his lectures to learn C#, because there may be an opportunity for some work at his acquaintaince 's company, who uses C# for IoT and smart homes.

I googled a bit, and none of the first ~7-10 pages mentioned C# as a language of choice for IOT or smart home automation. As I understand, the main peculiarity of C# is that it heavily uses .NET framework and is basically designed for Microsoft products and more widely used in games and virtual reality.

I wouldn't like to be associated with Microsoft so far, and if the paragraph above is true, I would rather learn Java and more C++/C and would be more willing to work with Python in whatever implementation of it.

Should I invest in C#? Is it really better for IoT than C/C++?
thats silly
