Well, in case of the server-side shopping cart, the server would have enough state to know if the price has changed since an item was added to the shopping cart, so the client wouldn't necessarily need to participate in preventing this scenario. I'm sure in practice, the checkout confirmation process for modern e-commerce sites also takes extra precautions to ensure that it can only happen exactly once and that it fails if any details change during the process of checking out.

I recall the issue being with JSON objects getting treated as map values in the parsing language. You don’t always have a guarantee that iterating over the map will happen in the same order as was specified in the JSON. The guidance was usually to use JSON arrays instead, or have a sort order key as you put in there.

> Nothing special just the first privately funded rocket to make it to orbit.

That would be Pegasus in 1990, though.

> The first new rocket engine developed in the US for decades.

There were plenty of engines developed in the US in that timeframe. Merlin in particular was a "spiritual successor" of the Fastrac, and Kestrel was implemented by the former Beal Aerospace engineers who worked on BA-2 before being hired by SpaceX.

This was infuriating until I found the hack work-around.

It's not just "complex" things - it's any context menu extension you may have used for a decade hidden behind that wall. In my example, it's "Edit with Notepad++". Is that a "complex" use case for most people? No, it's just Microsoft trying to force you to do things their way with their tools.
It would be nice if more sites offered a "site map" page, which used to be popular, where you could ctrl+f for a link even if it was too large to fit on the display.
Have something to offer.

Some people want your perspective. Some people want your ear. Some just want your presence. Figure out what you want, and pay attention to what others want. Finding the right match is when you end up having a great time.

Consider the medium you use for interaction and find a balance. My theory is that many people feel lonely nowadays because they overuse certain mediums for communication - the internet. It's not bad, but just doing something outside or in real life can make all the difference.

I’m sure there is data to be found, and I’m actually curious about it my self. I don’t know where to begin looking for it though. But I’m open to be proven wrong.

To be clear, I’m talking about the education system as a whole, not just prestige universities, but also community collages as well high schools and primary schools. Prestige universities like Stanford will always find funding to do what they want (e.g. from fossil fuel companies) this includes ballooning administrators playing the CV game, as well as keeping existing courses open while even opening new courses. Community collages and poorer school districts cannot afford to do all, and—it is my experience—they are way more likely to pick funding their administrators at the cost of education.
Only so long as a) the gains are real, and not overfitting the test dataset, and b) you don't balloon in complexity, so that stacking approaches becomes impossible to manage.

Point (a) is extremely hard to discern, especially when people are chasing third-significant-digit gains on common benchmarks; it's essentially multiple-testing false discovery in action. I've seen whole families of methods fail to transfer to new domains...

Point (b) is also a real issue. As you increase the number of bells and whistles, each with their own hyperparameters with non-linear impacts on model quality, it becomes impossible to say what's working or not.

In practice, i think we see some cycles of baroque incremental improvements, followed by someone spending a year stripping away the bullshit and getting something simple that outperforms the pack, essentially because it's easier to do hyperparam search over simpler models once you figure out the bits that actually matter.
"Took" is a weird word here. This isn't a gift. It's a book advance; it's payment for a service. The book was #1 on the New York Times bestseller list, and sold well over 100,000 copies. Their profits surely covered their advance, which is how these deals work.

So it's not a matter of "taking money" in the way that Thomas is accused of taking gifts. This was all above board, reported, widely discussed, and of no interest until right this instant. That's just the web site being deliberately misleading.

It may be the case that a Supreme Court justice should recuse themselves in a case where they have a business relationship. At the level of a Supreme Court justice, it may not be feasible, since they decide national-scale decisions that they all have connections to. I do not know what the standard practice is.

But the OP's link is deliberately trying to pretend that this is identical to what Thomas is accused of, and that's a lie.

> Hackernews is orders of magnitude smaller and radically different economically, socially and politically.

This presupposes and operates as though TikTok isn't an enormous collection of tiny niches. Many parts of TikTok are exactly like tiny subreddits where everyone or most people know each other.

Equally, some places on TikTok have a whole lot of people, like the front page of Reddit.

It’s one minor point. I think HN’s hatred of tipping culture has been triggered and all of this is a disproportionate response about a point that will likely get dropped in the first round of negotiations.

You can't demand a study/citation for someones personal experience. That is absurd. You are being an absolutely illogical clown.

I was talking about my opinion and direct personal experience. I explained this multiple times but you are incapable of understanding this basic concept.

"Objective" means observable and measurable. Are you genuinely so clueless that you believe no one can perceive anything objective about their own performance and abilities and actions in the external world?
I'm glad I finished eating my breakfast before reading that headline. I'm heartily in support of unions, it's great that they have one. Now use it and get what you want out of Apple instead of rattling a cup at people who walk into a store.

I have never been in an Apple store myself, I'm sure the people there work hard and that it's quite demanding (which is why I support their having a union). But I also hate tip culture and American society's constant requests for money. Every place you go has a tip jar out. Every retailer puts on price on the shelf and then adds on tax and fees at the register, so that I have to do pointless mental arithmetic as I shop (especially annoying for groceries where there are many different items and prices fluctuate frequently). Every political campaign asks people for cash with a frequency that would make a Nigerian scammer blush. Every large nonprofit seems to spend an increasingly large % of its intake on further fundraising.

I am not rich myself and I prioritize my charitable giving towards people I see that are in need but not asking for money. There's a lot of people who are not in desperate need (or sometimes in any great need at all, eg many political campaigns) and are constantly asking for money. This society disgusts me sometimes.

Fair point. This is a danger.

>If I explain that chairs don't really exist because there's no such thing in physics, I get nodding heads all around. If I say the same about consciousness, people are all up in arms.

The difference is that with chairs people immediately know you're speaking in jargon. No one in their right mind would say something like "chairs are an illusion". This isn't the case when it comes to phenomenal consciousness.

>The challenge here is the implicit assumption that their perception of subjective experience is a direct perception of reality

I'm in favor of challenging these kinds of assumptions. But saying phenomenal consciousness doesn't exist isn't a good way to do it. It (correctly) invites such strong resistance that it makes communicating the more subtle point nearly impossible. Although perhaps there really isn't a more subtle point in the case of illusionism. Frankish views seem to have evolved towards a straightforward eliminativist account, which is disappointing. I was originally very sympathetic to illusionism when I first looked into it, but it is much less appealing now. I go into some detail about my problems with it here[1] if you're interested.

I bet those stats are tea tea, not counting herbal tea. And the vast majority of consumed tea leaves by weight, in the US, almost certainly go to iced tea, not hot tea as is common in other countries. (I guarantee "tea-drinking in the southern US" is more than 95% consumed-cold "sweet tea" or iced tea; even if you make that yourself—and it's very, very cheap to buy pre-made—it's about as easy to do it in a pot on the stove as to use a kettle)

I will accept my billion-dollar valuation now. Thanks.
Huh? I live in a super red state in the USA. All assets you come into the marriage with remain solely yours. Anything you created together rightfully gets split as you were partners at that point, but inherited assets aren't counted in that (weren't created together). We don't have any sort of required alimony. You have to take one class to get divorced (but don't have to take it together) one time that is basically a 'think this through' to prevent a heat of the moment mistake in getting divorced. Seems correct and fair to me. Again, this is one of the redder states in the country. But we do have some pretty crazy common law marriage laws (the state's gotta make sure people aren't living in sin) though I don't know how those are enforced.

Sigh. I'm a huge fan of next. But am getting a bit worried. As a backend person, Next made it possible for me to build cool pages easily - especially as a static export to be served by my backend of choice. This whole push towards forcing an entire stack worries me. I personally am not building consumer apps so am ok with server side routing and/or spas and it feels like every new version the disapproving nod on "no outside backbends" is getting stronger. (As a services developer I personally don't find the ROI on the rest of the vercel ecosystem either but I can see why they need to sell the kitchen sink to justify that crazy valuation)
This Karim Rashid quote stood out to me when I was a teenager:

> Own 30 pairs of same color socks and 30 pairs of the same colored underwear so that socks always match, and do your laundry every month.

Not that I follow it to a T, but I think there's something about standardizing everyday items to reduce the mental load. Similar to tupperware: only own two container sizes so everything nests nicely and you're never left searching for the odd lid.

I'm not aware of any overwhelming disdain for hamburger menus among users. I'm all for accessibility improvements for sure, but at some point there has to be discussion about the trade-off of making something worse for 98% to accommodate 2%. That doesn't really make sense in general.
Well in the beginning menus were always at the top of the page, or split between the top (horizontal) for main sections, and left margin menus for section-specific menus.

Then we got various trees and drop-downs and expandable widgets, as browsers and technology became more capable of supporting them, eventually sort-of-standardizing on hiding it all behind the hamburger icon.

Now we want menus in the footer? Maybe I'm too old but the bottom of the page is the last place I look for anything.
For friends, one approach is to ask whether you prefer to make friends "shoulder to shoulder," engaged in shared tasks, or "face to face," in direct conversation. You can meet "shoulder to shoulder" friends via organized activities such as volunteering or playing recreational sports. If you do something with someone often enough, you're kind of a de facto friend for that particular activity. It feels good for other people that they can depend on you, and it feels good to have other people depend on you.

"Shoulder to shoulder" friends can become "face to face" friends. For example, teammates in a sports league will often go for post-game drinks. Volunteering activities are sometimes conducive to conversations, especially in moments of idleness. For example, I volunteered at a food bank a few months ago. My team had to wrap and transport pallets of food, and when there weren't any completed pallets, we stood around and chatted.

For intimate partners, try apps. Hookup apps, or dating apps used as hookup apps, get the most buzz and attention, but they're worth a look. I was single in the heyday of Tinder, and while it was marketed as a hookup app and used that way by a lot of people, I found plenty of people on it looking to meet people for dating, relationships, and marriage. That's how I met my wife. Some apps cater to specific tastes and desires, others have built-in mechanisms for indicating preferences (including asexuality), and some just give you a blank space to say whatever is important to you.
While Hamburger menus are terrible, users have come to expect and look for them.

Accessibility issues aren't unique to hamburger menus. Bad developers will implement all sorts of design patterns in in-accessible ways. There are ways to implement hamburger menus with good accessibility. We do it a lot.

I've always been curious about what it's like for other people to watch something like this.

Can you watch a dance or a trick or something and feel what it would be like to do it yourself? Do you see this stuff in your head as a sequence of frames? Or a movie? Or do you somehow have access to the whole thing at once like you're thinking in 4 dimensions?

When I watch any kind of instructional video for even something very simple it looks like a total blur, one of those "Wow that's impressive, I can't even tell what happened" things, and I usually don't see or feel anything in my head at all, I'm just saying "Ok he moves his arm up at the same time as his foot goes back away from the camera towards the hand with the stick" and trying (And failing) to copy things one piece at a time.
I know your focus is on the podcast/audio side of things (and you nailed this, very very cool), but it would be interesting to me to see how you generated the summaries themselves, if that was available, or at least a brief summary of the code, to understand what it took to get to that point.
Correct. I do believe the Dart team is fully under the ads org as a result of that, or at least, was for a while.

Thank you for this, I was not aware of this site. Bookmarked!
Two things:

1. you can get around that by using the actual TikTok link on the
website, not the app
2. It's by design. People who know each other probably like similar
things, so it facilitates in the surprisingly effective, accurate
and narrow niches that people can find themselves in.
You probably suffered from the early version of the raycasting algorithm, which resulted in barrel/fisheye distortion because of the way raycasting algorithm calculates distances.

When the rays sent out from the player's position intersect with walls, the distance between the player and the wall is calculated. This distance is then used to determine the height of the wall slice being drawn on the screen. However, the distance calculation is based on the player's position, resulting in non-linear scaling of the wall heights, which leads to the curved appearance.

Some later ports of the game to other platforms employed a modified version of the raycasting algorithm, where the distance calculation is adjusted to account for the angle between the player's view direction and the ray being cast. By using the correct distance for each ray, the wall slices are drawn with more accurate heights, resulting in straighter walls and less distortion.
Infinite scrolling must die, too.
I think both are valid, as i mentioned in the article, for this particular case, the psuedo content-negotiation felt right
It's good to have a broad overview of the subject, don't you think? Wouldn't you want to know whether or not the TikTok outrage is genuine, or perhaps engineered by other social media corporations worried about loss of market share? Maybe this is all about economics and 'national security concerns' are just the vehicle for expressing that concern (as market manipulation is a harder sell?).

P.S. Have you noticed that both Twitter and Youtube have adopted TikTok-type formats, in terms of Twitter video feeds and Youtube Shorts?
Show HN: ChatGPT with Physics Research Papers
As a physics major turned software engineer, I thought it'd be cool to let you chat with an AI about famous physics papers. The Docalysis physics library is powered by ChatGPT to let you chat with any uploaded paper. I've uploaded a few you can try here, like Einstein's paper on Brownian motion, or the EPR paradox paper. It's not perfect yet, but it's pretty cool, and I think this technology will advance to make fewer mistakes and be even better in the future.

No, it's not like that. The institution of tipping waitresses is baked into the minimum wage laws for waitresses, that's why you're a monster if you refuse to tip them. In all other circumstances it's considered optional in exchange for particularly good service (barbers, taxi drivers). Cashiers working behind a counter get at least the normal minimum wage. It is not considered socially obligatory to tip them. And tipping salesmen is unheard of, the social convention is that salesmen get commissions from their employer, not tips from the customers.

Tipping is only considered socially obligatory for waitresses and this hasn't changed.

Philosophically, the Halting Problem and the Pigeonhole Principle are very similar. They both talk about what is not possible with arbitrary input, but they have very little to say about practical input. You can't compress a random number generator. You can compress human communication, in any form, some of them famously. The existence of PP or HP are only boundary conditions, as entropy goes to infinity.

Humans also call entropy 'chaos', which has a connotation that's doubly meaningful in information theory. Chaos obfuscates. It's only useful when obfuscation is the point (encryption). We run away from it as fast as we can, and the farther we get from in the more interesting opportunities open up. Languages that disallow certain patterns can solve the halting problem for pieces of the application, maybe even entire 'useful' applications.
