Now thats an app I miss using, but unfortunately its much harder to get root on phones now, or if you do a lot of functions like banking apps will not work.

Androids built in app backup functions are woefully incomplete, and switching to a new phone recently I had to relogin to most apps and re-set up nearly everything, except for stuff like contacts and anything from google. At least some apps supported exporting settings to external files and allowed re-importing them.

I once encountered a postscript file which computed and printed a Mandelbrot fractal (as you call it). It came over the transom as DOS / possible malware. We let it run over the weekend on an HPLJ4 and by Monday it had spit a piece of paper out. Yup.
> I mean, the same is true with the C runtime.

My c compiler does not connect to internet during compiling.
Wouldn't it do more overall good to fix the leaks, which will still exist? They're not banning gas, they're banning new appliances and builds, which won't alleviate any of the existing problems at all. The bad air quality is due to leaks, which are pretty close to non-existent in new builds with new equipment. It's the old equipment and old pipes where the problem really is. Fix them?
Are there any resources you recommend for people trying to learn this style of Rails development?
Heat pumps are significantly >100% efficient, if measured as (heat energy brought inside)/(electrical energy consumed).
In 2011 I worked at a company that made $11,000 an hour on web ads. Showing them, not selling them.

They made money selling ads too, but I know that just ads on their sites pulled $11k an hour, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. If I remember correctly it was only a quarter of a billion unique visitors a month as well, back then.

And believe me when I say I see their stuff mentioned on HN at least a couple of times a week, you've used their sites.

Sure, here's a brief tour:

Commands — I usually will ship with Rectify https://github.com/andypike/rectify. It's a great layer for my controller to handle request contexts. You might think this is a glorified service object but I'm not a fan of service objects unless they do just one thing (and are allowed to loudly fail).

Components — https://viewcomponent.org/ I'm not incredibly sold on them but they do clean things up.

Forms — Rectify has this shipped but it uses Virtus which is quite old and hasn't been touched in many years. Shipping my own similar is usually something like https://gist.github.com/joshmn/39eb6f302650e09743387710591ab.... Not all of my form attributes will map directly to a model, but I want my form helpers to actually help me so I need some sort of object that _can_.

Inputs — I'll extend SimpleForm inputs (something I can't live without) to DRY up my forms.

All together, this is typically something like this (the form and command pattern, at least): https://gist.github.com/joshmn/65cfbccc6c64abe6d463ba9708b00... (not tested)

There's usually also an `admin` directory since I also usually ship with ActiveAdmin or Trestle. I've fallen in love with the latter after making it behave more like ActiveAdmin. When I need to drop out of its usual constructs I'll just write a custom controller, but for the majority of administrative stuff I can get 95% of the way there with the DSL of either/or, freeing up time for domain-specific problem solving.
Hyper heat are typically 5-10% more expensive than regular heat pumps.
Pydroid exists and is a much better experience.
Android has a 71% market share worldwide. I don't think it is in trouble.

And yes, I am flat out rejecting your premise that the US is the most important market. There are literally billions of people in this world who are not from there.
I'm just so glad I didn't start taking SSRI's, my doctor almost forced them down my throat but I didn't take them because I felt like I don't need them. And I didn't need them.
The "equitable grading" will eventually propagate to all schools and universities too. It's just a matter of time. Might propagate to jobs as well in the future.

Unfortunately while US's NOAA provides all the data needed free of charge (with an API to boot), the UK government's equivalent charges an MSRP of £38.30 and requires finding and contacting an authorized distributor, though the data does seem to be more worldwide. I haven't seen other offerings.

Again, I 100% agree on the connectedness of the economy and trickle down effect.

If I understand you correctly, I think where we disagree is the effect of Taxation. If the government tax the wealthy and incinerated it, then yes, I agree that would reduce job growth, wage competition, and inflation. However, if taxes are increased and the money is distributed directly to the workers, I would expect this to increase inflation.

Do you think job creation from capital reinvestment is a stronger driver of inflation then putting that money in consumer pockets?

The only ways to reduce inflation is to increase product Supply or reduce demand. I don't think that taxing the wealthy will increase Supply and I do think that giving workers more monetary transfers or a lower tax burden increases demand.

You simply can't reduce inflation and while increasing consumer purchasing power while holding supply constant.
I don't know how the codes are where you live, but in EU the norms are for natural ventilation in kitchens where gas stoves are used.
Isn't "C Runtime" inaccurate?

Wouldn't it be the static or dynamic linked libraries for the particular program in question?
Thanks for the paper! I'll be looking into it.

The reason I'm bringing this up is that these issues, in humans, are solved by redundency (i.e. hiring someone else to look over their work).

As long as errors persist and, more importantly, are impossible/hard to be warned of, competent humans will need to oversee and validate every word they type, making their "advantage" much more nuanced.

It kind of turns into having a friend that can google pretty well answer your questions.

I'm not an expert, feel free to show me wrong - I'm reading the paper now and expecting it to be at least a touch troubling :)
Whether you can hear a difference is going to depend partly on the equipment and mostly on the particular album you’re playing. I don’t think tron legacy got a vinyl specific master/mix so it’s basically just a recreation of the digital mix - if anything you might lose a little detail because it takes a pretty high end turntable to be 100% as transparent as a decent digital setup. On the other hand, if you look at a catalog like Blue Note’s for example, all of their vinyl releases are remasters made specifically for the format. Especially compared to the Rudy Van Gelder 90s digital remasters on streaming, there’s a pretty immediately obvious difference in sound. Not really a “if know what to look for” thing either, on some recordings it is very obvious.

This goes beyond vinyl vs digital too. What mix/master was used can make a difference in any context with different formats. Giorgio Moroder’s From Here to Eternity hasn’t gotten a transfer from the master tapes in decades, and the version on streaming is actually a rip from a vinyl record or another poor quality or worn transfer. If you seek out a CD mastered directly from the tape, there’s an incredible difference in the dynamic range.
No, that's incorrect. There is no fundamental trust; you were describing control in a coercive sense among the developers by directly asserting that developers have specific control over the funds in the system.

This is obviously not true, has never been true, and I have no trouble predicting that it will never be true.

What I took exception to was the fact that you were asserting developers themselves control funds, and that they specifically were trusted parties. Overall, Bitcoin depends on no trusted third parties, since in your example, mining pools with 50% hashrate do not arbitrarily control funds either.

And no, writing software does not imply control over the network, since there were plenty of other node implementations which existed (and exist) and which users choose to run for X or Y reasons. Writing software out of consensus which arbitrarily controls funds, in your assertion and in consistency with your string of logic (context across multiple messages,) "devs writing code" is not what consensus is. Even the github repository where Bitcoin is currently published is not current consensus. Current consensus is the current behaviour of the network right now. That is current consensus.

So, no, you're still wrong.

I don’t think it’s impractical to upgrade service lines. It is, however, impractical to get PG&E to approve the upgrade. (For us, that process cost about 3 years and $10K. They ran a wire 6 feet from an existing transformer to a pole we had to install ourselves).

When they pass these laws, they should come with an SLA for the utility provider to approve “engineering” plans for the utility hookup and whatever transformer upgrades are required utility-side.

There should be a ~ $250 per day fine, payable in cash to the homeowner once the SLA is exceeded. That’s roughly 2x normal homeowner costs due to delay of construction approvals (and therefore financing / alternative housing costs for those days) and using gas generators to power the site.
Slide 6 is wonderful.

As part of an admonition about measuring things wrong, Dr. Click pulls numbers out of thin air. Very convincing!

There are some induction stove startups that are using batteries to not only not require 240v hookups but perform even better than a standard induction stove... the idea is that with cheap battery technology you can take advantage of the fact that not everything in your house will be running and charging at the same time.
Thank you! Hey, looks like you found what works for ya, which enables you to stick to your habits. Well done! I was initially tracking in an org file, but relying on my laptop for tracking was too much friction. Mobile did the trick for me.
That doesn't work any more in modern Android, unless SAF is used for communication between applications to access private data.
I run my washer and dryer on a single 15 amp circuit. Heat pump dryers are very efficient.
UK has been able to keep its generations of citizens blissfully unblemished by its true colonial past - the horrors, massacres, and the genocides - many many of each kind of them. I wouldn’t be surprised if the more recent events also get rather easily skipped.
Which is arguably even worse than sugar for you
No one should prefer electricity over natural gas before knowing how the electricity is generated. People who push electric but don’t address this are either stupid or think you are stupid.

I did some digging and found 60% of NYS electricity is generated from natural gas. 25% from nuclear.

NYS has just about the cleanest mix in the US.
It's a dramatic trope. I'm an american, born and raised as they say, and I've never seen that. It probably happens sometimes in places I'm not familiar with, but ... come on, it's absurd, anyone would be incapacitated by that many pills.

I was thinking about this when watching The Shape of Water, Michael Shannon's character is in his car, arms shaking, pouring the whole pill bottle on his face ...

It's a dramatic trope.
I always find it fascinating that games like Carmageddon are made by a small team in a short period of time.

Nowadays such an accomplishment seems impossible.

That would be practising "relative pitch", which is a standard part of ear training. "Perfect pitch" means being able to identify the 2nd note when played by itself, without hearing the 1st note to reference from.
Are you a freelancer coming in to help less experienced rails teams solve their maintainability issues? How do you mostly find work? This is probably the work I am most qualified to do as I also work with Rails since 2005. I am a bit worried to be tied so strongly to the stack in my offering but in reality that is what I mostly do.
If you discovered a new way to make a secure locking cabinet, and then found out that bad people would lock bad things in the cabinet, you’d stop working on the cabinet?

OK then, that’s entirely your choice. Just don’t forget you started working on this cabinet for your own legitimate use, and there are many more people who share your same legitimate problem, but who can’t write software, and they will be SOL.
Vendor lock in? Next can be self hosted, deployed on AWS/Amplify/Lambda, your own hardware, etc. I wouldn't say it's as locked in as some other solutions out there.
Your argument is that less food on store shelves would lower the obesity rate in whatever the West is? I'm very skeptical, I'm of the understanding that in the USA for example obesity is more a symptom of malnutrition and food desserts than of literally eating too much whole foods.
I think this can be one of several subvariants.

A version of the drug habit/self abuse trope that used to be demonstrated with late nights alone with booze bottles in some depressing living room.

A blazing modern signal that the protagonist is hurt but continues anyway, to distinguish him from some impervious Superman or unfeeling Terminator clone.

The writers are mildly concerned about the plot discontinuity and rushing him to the next scene. See also the bullet wound self-care with improvised extraction and bandage from ripped clothing, which leads to miraculous physical rebound. No debilitating blood loss, nerve damage, or torn connective tissue in this plot!
Neither.

The point: it isn't that it failed. It isn't even that it "hallucinates answers", it's that it infers relationships between words that don't exist because it's an LLM. It predicts the next word. That's what it does.

Something that predicts the next word isn't an appropriate method of doing x in y of z cases, because its reliability in providing the designated function is important. Ergo, yes, LLMs may well have applications, but most of the problems that people are throwing it at are inappropriate, just like blockchain fetishism versus a database. For the overwhelming majority of problems, AI is not the answer, neither is a blockchain, neither is an NFT.

Call hallucination what it is: a fail state. It got it wrong. It didn't "hallucinate". With standard conditional logic, x yields y result. That's very useful where you want consistency and reliability, ergo, those problems are best not handled via an LLM. Why not use the appropriate tool for the job?

Deductive versus inductive versus abductive reasoning.
> Yep, imagine how things would be like if the kernel didn't understand shebangs. exec() calls would fail for non-ELF executables and we'd be devising all sorts of ridiculous workarounds. We're lucky that didn't happen.

Actually, that did happen. Quoting https://utcc.utoronto.ca/~cks/space/blog/unix/ExecAndShebang...

"In V7 (and versions before it), the exec*() family of system calls only worked on actual binary executables. In order to make shell scripts more or less work, the shell (and I think perhaps some other programs) reacted to an ENOEXEC error by assuming the executable was actually a shell script."

And yes, the ridiculous workaround (treating the file as a shell script when it's not an executable) seems to still exist to this day.
What do you do if a dependent .so isn't found?

Do you not have to install said dependency from the Internet and start (at least part of) the compile over?
We can tell if something is red or blue, but red and blue are huge spectra. That's like telling the first third of a piano keyboard from the second. Even I can do it. Absolute pitch is more like telling exactly what wavelength it is (to a certain degree of course). Most people can't do that.
The Great Silencing
There are a handful of Android apps. Some use samples. Others have addl ear training exercises that are even more useful than PP.
Statements like this are very dangerous and detrimental.
I have personally tested ChatGPT with multiple different topic, and found issues and errors across the range, even more disturbing is that explanation why "result" is as it is, is very confident bullshit. If person is not familiar with subject probably will blindly believe what machine says.
That being said, in the field of medicine people will use ChatGPT as poor man doctor (especially inspired by studies likes this), where wrong results coupled with confident BS could result in increase of fatalities due to wrong self medication.
Are these new „privacy“ features also available for users based in the US?
I'm not even American mate. I was just interested in the statistics and looked it up online (maybe poorly) and posted it here since I assumed others would be. I didn't even comment whether this was good or bad!
Do you have the numbers you talk about?
The GPT4 API is not generally available yet right? At least for the public?
But is it more efficient overall? Gas to elec, infrastructure losses, etc. vs just gas to heat?
technically it's not summarizing the video. It's summarizing the transcript of the video. So if it's a silent video with no spoken words, it likely won't do anything. So it is tl;dr of the spoken words, as parsed by Youtube ML since most videos don't have provided transcripts, though some do.
You didn't include air conditioning, vacuum, power washer, power tools, etc. It's not that you'd be running all these things at once (although AC run a lot), but it's pretty crazy that you could even come close to tripping your main breaker.
This looks to me like something that has 5% of the features of dokku. If you want a slimmed down dokku that seems great. But I'm wondering if I love dokku why I would choose this. What am I missing?

The switching to live containers and proxy integration seems like table stakes these days. Is traefik that much better than nginx in all cases?

And, dokku just works with almost any kind of web app (regardless of the language) i throw at it. It's amazing for just git cloning something, create a dokku app and new git remote and then just push and see if it works, which it does almost all the time. It's super fun to experiment with something new and just see what happens.
A more natural way of controlling RTS cameras
I posted this yesterday but got blocked by the automated filter, attempting again.

I had also made a post on the gamedev subreddit that spurred a discussion with many interesting counterpoints raised:

Right... there are a lot of contradictions in their comment. You want to focus on your product, by managing your own server(s)? You don't want to over engineer early on but you're running a load balancer and n-servers? Why not a single server? Or, offload the management entirely to someone else and focus on your product.
At this time, there are no limits on how many times you can generate an image using Dall-E on Designer. That might change in the future though.
Indeed. This whole thing is just eugenics through the back door. The court should be aware that there are quite a number of historical examples of men having hundreds and even possibly thousands of children. This isn't any kind of threat to human genetic diversity worth worrying about (however objectionable the actions of the men in question might have been). If there is a reason to ban sperm donors from donating more than n samples, it's not this.

I do find the idea of someone fathering that many children inherently weird and creepy. It appears that this person is also accused of misleading the women who received the donations, which is obviously wrong in itself. There's probably all kinds of reasons to throw the book at this particular individual. I just wish the bullshit eugenic arguments could be left out of it.
What's special about that day? That's after the algorithms were developed, models and drivers were built, and most of these behaviours were discovered. I've got fairly-photorealistic "AI-generated" photos on my laptop timestamped September 2019, and that was before I started learning how it all worked.

If you're talking about popular awareness of GPT-style autocomplete, then I agree. If you're talking about academic awareness of what these things can and can't do, we've had that for a while.

Nope, what do you think calls into main(), does floating point emulation, handles signals on non UNIX platforms, provides threading support?
What's an example of a framework that meets this bar? In my experience, the messiness is generally a function of scope, team size and technical ability. Some languages / frameworks give you better or worse tools for managing that scalability, but context matters (right tool for the job) and none can guarantee a good result if the team is weak. What really matters is the technical leadership, who must have both the experience, and sufficient influence, to avoid going down a path of crippling technical debt that eventually strangles the system.

As far as Rails goes, for all it's shortcomings, people forget what web development was like in 2003. The dominant paradigms were overwrought XML-powered J2EE with incredibly low power-to-weight ratio for web development, or unstructured PHP wild west stuff. These days every language has a framework that was heavily influenced (directly or indirectly) by Rails. Sure I wouldn't use Rails everywhere (1000+ engineer team: java, lots of concurrency: elixir/erlang, lower-level large systems: go/rust, etc), but it still has a great sweet spot from the prototype to moderate sized web app / API. Things that become weaknesses as you scale (eg. ActiveRecord pattern) are based on contextual tradeoffs that need to be made thoughtfully versus declaring them table stakes for all web frameworks.
It’s absolutely a terrible idea for heating. Natural gas is obviously the better choice - that’s why it’s used and they had to make it illegal to prevent it.
I think it's video game logic imported into films. Pills are a common health pack symbol so more pills = more health regained = more return to normal stats.
I do have a book coming out called Caboose on the Loose (https://leanpub.com/cabooseontheloose) that goes over how I build applications. It'll be for monies, but I plan on uploading it to torrent and piracy sites; included is a page that reads I'm cool if you pirate it. Happy to send an early draft; email is in profile.

Some nuggets here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35755423

A lot of it has been trying and failing — a lot of times, across a lot of different applications. Many of which have been my own, but as of the last few years there have been other people's applications too.

The first thing I look for when I go into someone else's Rails app is to grep through `routes.rb` and look for every route drawn that's not `resource` or `resources`. This has proven to be a good indicator of the amount of smells I'll encounter in the application. You can draw every route with `resources` or `resource` and get clean controllers, which leads me to my next point:

Your controllers are the most important part of your application. It's the first and last thing your user touches. Getting them right is the most difficult part of architecting any application. "Fat models skinny controllers" does a disservice to models, though, because they shouldn't be fat, (insert transition)...

Models should represent your database and nothing more.

I could go on and on, and am happy to, but I'll quickly be writing a mini-book here and detract from Eileen's great talk at Railsconf. :)
