Of course you will need to check real references, it’s like talking to people and people make mistakes too. GPT makes mistakes that in many time obvious to humans, like write equations wrong, write numbers wrong, and I only need to check other sources or use a calculator to check. But I only care about the intuitive/conceptual part anyway, which GPT does well.
But who is creating the regulation?

The answer to that is funny. It is literally the state, which is to my point, but it is also shaped by the banks, which is to your point.
Yeah it seems obviously risky. A small bank gets a little insolvent and so it gets absorbed by a larger bank. This system works fine when there’s a larger bank to absorb them, but it’s obviously untenable. What happens when the largest bank needs saving?
that's in the NO, don't use .lol group. Unless is something very straight to the point.
Built a solution to a problem I have always had. I like my system to be clean, minimal and structured. It gets quite tricky to manage multiple projects on my on machine, projects tend to gather and are placed everywhere. Overtime managing system wide dependencies becomes a problem. It is quite easy to mess up a system setting or to keep track of a package I wont need tomorrow. This is why I built freshenv. It is a command line application which helps developers in running and managing completely isolated developer environments locally. It fetches and lets you run environment flavours in the form of docker containers which are preconfigured with tools and packages developer needs everyday.

I use it everyday and some others as well. Which makes me happy :)
Where does P2P/distributed architecture come into your earlier comment? Seems like traditional server<>client communication.

Maybe it's just an unfortunate wording, but "gossip" has a specific meaning in P2P/distributed systems and I can't see how it fits in with what you've written so far.
What about conventional cigs? Too cushy to get rid of? Just like Alcohol I reckon
Probably if you need to do that it should just be enforced by the compiler. It's pretty clear to me (and the author of this post) that Rust got this right - small scale type inference is fine (in function bodies) but you really want explicit types for functions and up.

Without that, you lose out massively on readability and error message quality.

In Sail, I have IDE type inlays working but it barely helps with reachability because half the types are inferred as generic.
Complaining about "going 90mph on a 65mph speed limit" is not a "speed trap"; a speed trap is a situation set up in such a way that many well-intentioned people make an honest mistake. Things like confusing signage, sudden and/or unusual change in the speed limit, and so forth.

This is just someone sour because they got caught speeding. For reference 90 mph is 145 km/h, it's pretty fast, and the limit in CA seems to be 70 mph at the most. Driving at 90mph is always wrong unless you are rushing someone to the hospital or similar emergencies.
Prompt:
Is IBM a PC maker?

ChatGPT:
IBM was one of the earliest and most influential personal computer makers, having introduced the IBM Personal Computer (IBM PC) in 1981. However, in the early 2000s, IBM sold its PC business to Chinese computer manufacturer Lenovo. Since then, IBM has focused on providing enterprise-level hardware, software, and services, rather than personal computers for consumers. While IBM no longer produces PCs for the consumer market, the company does manufacture specialized computing systems for business and industrial use, such as mainframe computers, servers, and high-performance computing systems.
> Switzerland is barely a ninth of Germany‘s size in square meters and population.

So its basically scales linearly. More land, more population. With the same tax spending there is no reason that Switzerland should be able to do anything that Germany is not able to do.

Nothing you said changes the fact that between cities you used to have different tariff systems and that people regularly travel between them.

The distance from Genf to Zürich is the same distance as many cities in Germany. Again, claiming its a luxury to go the the city 200-300km away is nonsense.

Just saying 'Germany is larger' isn't an argument, it doesn't change anything.

> goes through 2 choke points

So your excuse is that Germany is bad at planning and building their rail systems?

Switzerland has and had chock points to and yet that isn't actually a problem.

The reality is Germany has much better geography for rail compared to Switzerland.
Their in house stuff is mostly based on OSS anyway. There isn't a whole lot of IBM proprietary tech that they have to bring to the table anyway. I wouldn't be surprised to see them do some acquisitions to buy some street credibility though.
> They don't read a lot of blogs, they never write blogs, they don't go to user groups, they don't tweet or facebook...

So, the article alludes to a spectrum of engagement, but uses a binary distinction (dark or not) as its driving metaphor which has created some cross-talk in the comments here.

This is a bit unfortunate because other metaphorical humor in the "grey developer" spectrum lies in wait. (Not just grey beards, grey matter brain stuff, etc.). Two of the comments to his blog (spelling "grey" both ways, lol) mention this.

Of course, even referring to it as a one-dimensional "spectrum" obscures the complexity that it is surely multi-dimensional, and indeed my quoted comment begins to enumerate independent axes.
Having your employer as your landlord and the owner of the local shop shifts even more power to the employer. Maybe it would be acceptable with a very strong union.

"Oh can't work this weekend, that's a shame, your rent review is due"

"Selling" a modern house can come with thousands of different obligations too. Imagine a HOA, but it's actually a company.
It's funny how we had standardized on glass for the longest. There a countless other standards across almost every industry we can imagine.

What makes plastic so special? Aside from being a byproduct of Big Oil's product?
Bruce Springsteen was famous from Born to Run well before Born in the USA. And I don't believe the meaning of the title track was ever misconstrued, it was simply aggressively misused. But our national anthem is also a guy asking if the country will survive, so maybe that's just how we like our patriotic songs.

If anything the lesson here is focus on what you're good at (songwriting), and outsource what you're bad at to people who are as good as you at what you're good at. The E Street Band has been filled with consistently amazing musicians. Springsteen as another Dylan would have never made it big.
It's important to have a discussion about AI safety, and the ethics surrounding LLMs. But I'm really tired of all this sensationalism. It completely muddies the waters; it almost seems intentional at this point.
The new ticket for Germany makes everyone happy. No-one will leave the country because of that. In this moment I'm using it here in Munich, I paid the full price. I'm happy, even though I'm also highly taxed. It's progress to give everybody the option for affordable and simple public transport throughout Germany.
I can't wait until they start paying their people in company scrip! Walmart already tried to bring it back to Mexico in 2008 (https://www.reuters.com/article/mexico-walmex/court-outlaws-...)
My point was that in my experience they are far less common in China than in the US, as you were claiming. I guess one of us could go look up stats bit given the cost of the item and the relative affluence of the countries I seriously doubt they are close. What was your point in bringing up that they were similarly ubiquitous in both places?
I love this sort of approach for one-shot externalities but what about when your entire program is a conversation with external components? My current project coordinates software repositories and services within AWS and I find myself using a lot of mocks in testing.

I can return a tree of lambdas but then I have to resolve them against something and that's just replacing mocks with lambdas, really. Not sure it's any better in practice.

To echo you, I was going to say myself that if anything current web design is more like brutalist architecture. It is a celebration of the raw materials and structure: HTML, CSS, JS. There are confusing features, technical flourishes, … well, maybe not so much poetry. Maybe roccoco, not brutalist?
On the flip side, by buying the house you are taking on a lot of extra risk. If the company shuts down or moves its factory you will be left both unemployed and left with a virtually worthless house, since no one will want to buy a house in a place where the by far single biggest employer just left. If you're renting you'll just be unemployed and can easier move to where you can find a new job.
Strangely I think they would have saved face better if they said "we are letting 7800 people go due to poor business practices" rather than some BS line about LLMs being ready to replace humans.

SEEKING WORK | UK/Global – Cambridge/London/Remote

I'm a software engineer with coming up for two decades of programming experience. I've helped startups get started and big companies keep going.

I've organised a couple of jobs through HN now; it's been a good way to find interesting projects, and my clients have been pleased with the work. One said: "Thank you! I've played with it a bit and it looks very impressive! Way better than what I imagined this project could be."

I've worked on a very wide variety of web-based projects, as well as React Native, and other platforms, so I will be able to hit the ground running on most projects. If you're doing something a bit esoteric, that could still suit me – I've done FPGAs, network protocols, more ETL than you can shake a stick at, and devised novel algorithms.

I am productive in every commercial programming language I've tried. In the last 5 years I've done commercial projects in (at least):

Typescript/Javascript (React Native, browser, and Node.js), Ruby, Java, C#, Python, Swift and Golang. I'm trying to find someone to pay me to do some Rust (I completed an Advent of Code in it.)

As well as building things, I am also good at talking to people to help figure out what we should be building. I enjoy working with other developers and helping the team learn, but I am also a good lone wolf who gets things done. I'm happiest on fixed-term projects that I can complete on a schedule that suits both of us, and my clients have been very happy with this process too.

> As an American who has spent 6 years living abroad, I think foreigners vastly underestimate the size and diversity of the United States and North American

Sure, but if you leave the tech bubble my experience is that those other Americans quote something like a single 14h trip by car in the last 10 years as their "remote vacation" experience so I'm not sure how much that really applies. Yeah, you can totally see different stuff with just this, but I have a feeling even trips to other parts of the country are rare for many people.. and even when they live in California they go to Las Vegas, Hawaii, or Mexico.

That said, I'd say at least 3/4 of the "normal tourist" Americans (again, not the tech people) I met here in Germany are from flyover country and not from where you'd expect from the population density map (both coasts), but it's all anecdata.
I think the fact you’re commenting here at all, sharing your thoughts and choosing to make yourself heard, sort of excludes you from the silent dark matter group, no? It’s no shining badge of merit, but I do think that being on HN at all, choosing to spend our time learning and conversing about our career field, is a fairly strong group-signal in and of itself.

I’ve worked at tiny startups all the way to big tech and immediately had a few people come to mind when I read the description. A lot of them were really into sports or the arts or had a busy family, often this meant that outside of the function of our very specific role, they never really had much to say about tech or programming. That’s a really good thing though! I think it’s a drag spending all day with people whose interests are too similar to mine, it gets really stale. I’d much rather hear about how Dan’s hockey team’s doing than yet another debate about LLMs :)
> Closer to being absorbed by the state.

Or the opposite.

This feels like textbook survivorship bias as advice. Plenty of artists try to do their own thing and are not culturally rewarded for it.
Consider these three pieces of information:

1. There is not a bank in existence in the US that could survive a bank run where 25% or more of the deposits leave. Not even JP Morgan Chase; and

2. There's a lot of evidence to suggest that the bank run on SVB was created by the direct actions of relatively few people, most notably Peter Thiel; and

3. The FDIC usually solves such bank runs by seizing the bank and selling the bank for parts. The banks all actually have more assets than depositor funds. So far at least, all depositor funds have been protected through assets and the FDIC (side note: the FDIC is funded by banks and receives no appropriations from Congress). It's expected that these asset sales are at a significant discount (eg CSFB acquiring UBS for a song although that's Switzerland not hte US obviously).

So perhaps we should be asking if these bank runs are being deliberately created to profit from the collapse of smaller banks. In an ideal world, if true, people would end up in prison.
Treat every corporate criminal like criminal and maybe they will leave the US. Then treat those criminal corporations as terrorist orgs if they continue to do criminal things overseas.

Thank you for saying that, because that is precisely the narrowing of perspective I am referring to, which puts everything into a comparison and measure of how and to what degree something is “Nazi”.

But you’re clearly in good company, we’ve seen it play out in grand style over the last couple years especially where everything someone doesn’t like is “Nazis”. insert circular accusation meme here

Fact of the matter is that it is an unhealthy illusion that “the Nazis” were some kind of anomaly or extraordinary thing, and that perspective that they were is precisely being peoples minds up to the point that they cannot think clearly, let alone properly classify, order, and structure things in order to solve problems or even just deduce the underlying logic.

Nothing about ethnic unity standing in opposition to a perceived enemy is in any way unique to any parameters. The plains tribes of what we call America would unite and overrun other tribes that they perceived as threats and resource competitors, and they would mercilessly slaughter and brutalize, rape, pillage, and kill. Genghis Khan may have been the single worst genocidal maniac in all of human history, even just by rough guesstimate (I don’t recall “the Nazis” launching rotten corpses full of botulism and thereby also causing the plague that killed hundreds of millions), and he also did it with what is effectively “national socialist”, i.e., unitedly working among and for one’s own nation, i.e., ethnicity. Or consider the Spanish who conquered and eradicated essentially all indigenous cultures on all of the Americas, largely including the ones the English are blamed for, even though it was the Hispanics, i.e., Spanish and Portuguese, who also eradicated and plundered and conquered the Americas for their own race/ethnicity/nation.

Am I at all getting thought about the fact that “everything is Nazis” is a stunting mentality?

“Nazis” didn’t somehow overtake and become imbued in America through “operation paperclip”, what the Nazis did for a relatively few years that was really not even nearly as awful as what had been done at that point and arguably since, considering we were supposed to have known better.

We should have known better since “the Nazis”, correct? Never again auch atrocities, right? So how is it that not only has no one been held accountable for the destruction of Iraq under obvious and over lies, murdering somewhere around probably one million people and causing untold misery and devastation in people’s lives, but Assange, who exposed the atrocities is rotting in prison and very few people even care? People can’t see the atrocities and the awful people and their atrocities in front of them for all “the Nazis” occupying their minds … I argue, intentionally, by constant focus on “the Nazis”.

We do have a single transit card, but the cost is outrageous imo. To travel 25km from Weert to Eindhoven in the south costs €6.70 one way during "rush hour". So to commute to work, I need to pay €13.40 per day, not included the bus transfer from the central station to my office (another few euros).

Now before you mention it, yes I know employers have to pay for transportation to and from work, but that doesn't solve the problem for self employed people or visitors/tourists or occasional travelers.

A few weeks ago, my wife and I wanted to go to Den Bosch to see some friends. It was cheaper and faster to drive from the edge of Limburg to Den Bosch & pay for fuel/parking than it was to take the train from our local station (for 2 people). I can live with the extra time required, but the cost was too much.

If the government wants to incentivize more train travel, I shouldn't need to pay for than the cost of a many eurozone plane tickets to travel from Eindhoven to Amsterdam by train.
That was what Occupy Wall St and Tea Party movements were. Remember that? Before each of them got infested with social-issue parasites of each pole, both were populist reactions to financial injustices.

I'm willing to take my downvotes on this, but as someone who works in an industry that has been working for 14 years to set up an alternative to this system, and which feels like it's under systemic, engineered threat at the very same time this is happening, I think your tinfoil hat is stylish, and appropriate for the season and weather.
Though those concerns apply if the major employer in a non-diversified area picks up and moves, goes bankrupt, downsizes, etc. whether or not something is a "company town" in some formal way or not. Look around the US Midwest for examples.
I always wanted a module that writes string to syslog. Sometimes it's hard to tell where certain things start, especially during init, so I would add string to kernel log, do the thing, add another string marking the end of my thing and then in the syslog I would find that first string and what's after that is what I need.
