In 18th century London children were disposable labor: like cheaper, less durable horses. Children as young as 5 would work in match factories, dipping matchsticks into boiling sulfur by hand. Their lungs dissolved after a while, but then the factory owner didn’t pay their parents much for them anyway.

Young children were the best chimney sweeps, too. London chimneys were a fucking mess, of course, built up rapidly and with no building codes. Little children could crawl around inside them more easily to clean them. Sometimes a child would get irretrievably stuck, but them it was easy enough to light the furnace to burn them out.

Western culture decide a long fucking time ago that the job of children is to educate themselves so they can be productive members of society. As our society gets more technological, the base level of education required to participate grows higher. This type of bullshit is going _the wrong direction_.

And let’s be clear — this is purely a play for corporate profits. There is no other motivation; everything else people say about it is bullshit.
Hi!

No plans yet. In my opinion, it needs a good reason to be picked instead of C (which we have sizable) to overcome the "number of developers" argument.

Introducing a new general purpose language into a large company carries a significant cost, especially into the future. The company is rightly cautious.
Yes and no. I understand that a causal relationship is the goal, but short of an experimental design, anything done is going to have similar holes punched through it. My view, as others have noted, is that this is a just one correlation. I'll feel that it's more causal once we see it pop up again and again in different studies, with different populations, controls, analyses, timescales, etc. It's ok to document correlations, but researchers need to temper their language when discussing correlation studies in general.
Kind of sounds amazing if we could pull it off (of course we can't) but imagine a world where there is just too much wood (woodworkers be salivating) and there are massive jungles everywhere we could fit one.
Trees don't pump the air through their leaves, they let CO2 diffuse and blow in the wind.
So they banned the original source after finding out that there were illegitimate versions of VLC disguised as the real package?

How did it solve the problem? Don't you think that after they banned the original, there would have been even more illegitimate versions?

> everyone is fine trading their time watching ads for watching everything for free.

Given that many people pay actual money in exchange for not seeing ads, I think this blanket statement is clearly false.

Hehe.

I was on HN when it was around 50 users total. That was day two, just after pg made it public. That was small, and yo8 felt like you knew everyone.

That feeling lasted for a couple years. But inevitably it went away. I didn’t mean the “hehe” against you, but rather a “I wish HN was small.” It was a magical era.

Believe it or not, you are precisely as hypnotized by HN as you feel I am about TikTok. They’re both wonderfully entertaining titans.
This is just “ Minnesota nice”. Cultural expectations of politeness are not really correlated with any specific ethics. As to the downvotes, you are inadvertently opening a can of political worms around competing values of the coasts and the Midwest.
It's kinda funny to me that many of the "pros" of this approach are the exact reasons so many abandoned MPAs in the first place.

For instance, a major selling point of Node was running JS on both the client and server so you can write the code once. It's a pretty shitty client experience if you have to do a network request for each and every validation of user input.

Also, there was a push to move the shitty code from the server to the client to free up server resources and prevent your servers from ruining the experience for everyone.

We moved away for MPAs because they were bloated, slow and difficult to work with. SPAs have definitely become what they sought to replace.

But that isn't because of the technology, it's because all the devs writing shitty MPAs are now writing shitty SPAs. If this becomes popular, they will start writing shitty MPAs again. Nothing about this technology will stop that.
The Pis shine primarily in terms of power consumption, under load, a mini PC could cosume 50W, where a Pi (and other ARM boards) will do an absolute maximum of 15W. And if you have multiple devices that run 24/7, that could be a significant saving

Helloplease? If stuff like that is written into a bill, it's because of a lobbyist - evidently there's a shortage of workers in the hospitality field. How about improving working conditions instead? It's a market, if the offer is good, they'll come!
yeah! I used to work at that StorageTek location, before they sold to Sun and then Oracle.

Conoco bought the land like 10 years back and demolished the old offices for a "clean energy lab" IIRC , though that never happened and now Tape Drive (and Disk Drive, on the western side of the campus) just deadend into a large empty field.

The fact that those offices are gone feels like a weird message about tech, but i don't know what it is.

Of course you can get C to run on the JVM (any CPU emulator written in Java proves that) but due to JVM limitations you cannot do so efficiently. Which is why it the JVM is not an attractive target for the 'traditional' languages.
> We had a moral belief in the equality of the races, rooted in Christianity, long before we had the scientific evidence to support that belief.

Some Christians might have had that belief, but many racist (and, years earlier, slave-owning) Christians believed the opposite to be true, and used the Bible to justify slavery [1]. Jefferson Davis was quite explicit about it [2]:

> [Slavery] was established by decree of Almighty God...it is sanctioned in the Bible, in both Testaments, from Genesis to Revelation...it has existed in all ages, has been found among the people of the highest civilization, and in nations of the highest proficiency in the arts.

When I say "based on evidence" I mean that bills must have some basis that everyone can agree on. People may not agree with the conclusions, but there is a firm basis there nonetheless.

It doesn't take a lot of imagination to consider the consequences of religiously based laws. Imagine you're a Christian in a small town, and for whatever reason, your town becomes a popular place for immigrants/refugees from the Middle East to settle, and all of a sudden your town has a slight Muslim majority. Would it be ok for them to vote to require all women in the town to wear hijabs in public because they believe God demands it? To such a proposal, you might say "that's absurd! God doesn't want us to wear hijabs!" There's no way to settle the argument, because there's no evidence for the claim one way or the other.

That's the problem with laws based on religion, and that's why our constitution protects against them.

It doesn't require a vast conspiracy, certainly not something more vast than the kind of conspiracy that Snowden alerted everyone to.

I would guess the truth is somewhere in the middle... That there is genuine pushback but also theatrics to project independence.

That's the key to the whole song and dance- the reviewers also know its bullshit. The actual hurdle is getting grant funding, which takes a more talented bullshitter. But of course you only need one sorry soul to write the application, and its not so difficult that, say, fewer than 1 in 5 can manage it.

Sad to see such talented people take their life. Until a further investigation is made, it's hard to determine the cause. Getting into Google can be the pinnacle of one's life and ending it there is certainly symbolic.

Brave has connected the concept with cryptocurrency, though, right? That means that at least some people (or at least me) consider it a nonstarter.
Full back to the office? I am experiencing it right now and honestly hate it. After work in quiet room alone for couple years I am forced to sit with another 11 individuals in open office. My mental state is really bad. There is only one solution - find new job. I even don’t care anymore about my stocks vesting in autumn.
The industry is heading toward 100 EV for cars. Would it not be possible to create an industry standard that allows for geofenced speed regulators?

We have the technology to enforce speed limits on a per-street basis if everyone is diving an EV (even non EV for that matter).

This would make it impossible for people to drive 50MPH through a residential neighborhood.

Seems like a good idea no?
While I agree with your sentiment, I think we might start to see McKinsey go on a Blackwater > Xe > Academi > Constellis type journey to leave their reputation behind
It'll be very interesting to see what Intel does in response. They can't really afford to stay behind here, as this would make AMD the preferred vendor for any hyperscaler. It's also bound to make a lot of people in the tech community much louder about buying AMD, if we get an open source firmware stack.
> Some of us believe that content creators should get paid. It's a pity that ads are the lowest friction method easily available to the general public to accomplish this.

It's also a pity that ads cause people to buy even more stuff, causing needless environmental harm.

I have no sympathy for ads as a monetization model.

Coming from more modern languages, having to write and maintain all those superfluous header files is driving me insane.

Annotea was an W3C experiment for Web Annotations. Had an RDF/XML data model and used XPointer for locating the annotated part of the resource. You could also have self hosted servers for your annotations.

Only really implemented in Amaya, the W3C’s own browser/editor, and like the rest of the browser a little bit clunky.
Who cares what some people want to see? All that matters is what they can actually help to make happen. And Elon being "destroyed" is only gonna happen through his own actions. He's his own worst enemy, and yes, buying Twitter and all of his subsequent actions with it were a huge mistake, a big unforced error. He's turned a lot of people against him, and for what. Hell, I'm very enthusiastic about space travel and yet he's even turned me against him somewhat, as I absolutely hate the waves of layoffs across tech his actions have precipitated. Him and Zuck basically gave everyone else "permission" too, and us tech workers have suffered severely for it.
It's not a cute name, but you can't measure actual demand when you're at capacity --- maybe hidden demand, unmeasured/unmeasurable demand. But population growth is often ignored too --- if your metro is growing rapidly, and your road expansion project takes several years and traffic 'is the same' after construction, that's actually a successful project; if the expansion didn't happen, traffic would most likely be much worse.

Think of a webserver with a 100M link; if it's at capacity all day long, you know you should upgrade the link, but should you add a second link so you get 2x100M, or does it need 1G or 10G or more? Hard to say. If your 100M link is only at capacity for a few minutes or even an hour a day, adding another link is likely to be enough. Of course, network capacity is easier to add than road capacity.
"Helped shape" != "Dictated". It makes perfect sense to have industry members be a part of discussions about regulations and problems related to their industry. Industry members shouldn't be able to dictate the outcomes of those discussions, but they should certainly be able to participate in them.
Where do you live, just curious? Is it suburbs or city?
I don't think ChatGPT is able to create links like that, such as to someone's own profile on another site.

It doesn't read as ChatGPT at all, I took a look at his profile and that quote was clearly referring to his profile text only.

I'm honestly getting sick of people here claiming a comment is ChatGPT spam when it's just a viewpoint they disagree with or something.
This is likely the bill, passed two days ago:

https://www.legis.iowa.gov/docs/publications/LGR/90/SF542.pd...

It is an amended form of a previous bill passed in April (linked by another comment). I noticed that it now clarifies that children under 14 are not permitted to work (previously it was allowed under certain conditions). So, that’s good. 14 and up are allowed to work.
Shhh, don't get em upset incase they decide to liberate Canada.

"Since the vector database provides approximate results, the main trade-offs we consider are between accuracy and speed. The more accurate the result, the slower the query will be. However, a good system can provide ultra-fast search with near-perfect accuracy."

What does "near-perfect" mean in this context, type 1 or type 2?

> no issues jailing people for speaking the wrong things, forcing it's citizens into reeducation camps, welding them locked into buildings

China has more than four times the US population, yet the US incarcerates more people than China does. In that context it does not sound like much of a knock "China locks up less than a quarter of the people the US does!" Well - yes.

Given that many times we have children hurt by the same laws meant to protect them, I have begun to wonder if the blanket desire to protect children is actually based on a desire to protect children, or to fit in with current culture where anyone without that desire is seen as an extreme outsider who is to be punished. Was this road to hell paved by people with good intentions or was it paved by people whose primary motivating factor was appearing as if they had good intentions.

For example, look at how anti-CSAM laws have been used to harm teens sexting in far worse ways than the harm that is risked by engaging in such action.
so is this an issue Iowans are concerned about or is this a synthetic issue that corporations are astroturfing? I can't see it being a very high priority imo even though I am sympathetic to 14 yr olds who want money.
We knew that we had to build a foundation first to have any shot at getting AI right.

I worked at Meta for years and knew first hand that ML/AI can only ever get good with loooots of training data.

So we needed a way to produce lots of high quality training data first and a way for users to be able to reason about results and edit them.

There is a graveyard of failed AI hardware design projects and one thing they all have in common is that they are black boxes…its very obviously the wrong approach. But every week a new one pops up…I don’t even understand why anyone funds this stuff anymore frankly…it can’t work.

So we embarked on building our own eCAD editor first…that was gonna be step number one. It was also the hardest and most expensive way to go about it… but if you have big dreams then you just have to go and do big things. I recent these get rich quick schemes personally anyways…I love doing hard things!

LLMs just starting to get good around the time we had the editor ready for public launch (after years of beta) was a happy coincidence that makes us look like geniuses now. But I take it lol.

We had been actively playing on the side for the past 6 months on ideas for first AI features as we geared up for launch of the core editor but the critical insight to use our existing projects comments surface was a last minute brain fart that came to us about 6 weeks ago.

Things went pretty quick from there and we are moving extremely fast now that we have the right foundation.

Excited times!

One of those really great & powerful things about webapps being built on the DOM. The DOM is flexible & malleable & we can sculpt our own experience.

It's a broadly pro-user capability that native apps categorically lack. That humanity can actually participate in & have say on the computing medium is an incredible wonder. One, alas, that many people see as a weakness!!
16 and 17 year olds have even less of a risk assessment capacity than 18 year olds (worth noting that this faculty fully matures by around 25), but jobs where bad decisions have more impact aren't the place for people new to the workforce to cut their teeth; there's too much risk not just to themselves (which we're disregarding here; people should be fine making whatever stupid decision they want) but to the people around them.

Start them off doing jobs that have responsibility but less consequence. Then progressively ramp up the responsibility and accountability as they grasp it.

That's your rational argument.
The concept of watching cable TV with premade programming and ads seems extremely dated to me, and to most people of my generation, I imagine.

Experts Argue Whether Computers Could Reason, and If They Should – Circa 1977
> Twenty years ago, in the infancy of the computer revolution, before problems began cropping up, the public was told that computers would be smarter than brains. Computer chess champions and machine translation, for example, were just around the corner. So far, neither has been accomplished successfully, and neither is likely to be any time soon.

The original predictions were merely off by 40 years.

Also, I like this 1977 article as it highlights that any overnight success is decades in the making.
My personal preference is for it not to be tied to a device that can be lost, stolen, broken. That way I don't need multiple backup devices to login to one service.

Thank you for sticking up for me, but remember: our goal here is to write comments interesting to read. As much as I appreciate it, complaints about downvotes never do any good. They just stoke the fire.

This is really good, thank you for sharing it.
Compilation time was a huge pain point for me, too. Dev builds took 30s to finish, completely killed the productivity.

It's much better now though, after I compile the compiler myself, using glibc instead of musl, using LLVM 15 instead of LLVM 14, and disable the GC (for the compiler).

Dev builds now only take 5~8s, and release builds only take ~1 minutes instead of 2 minutes 30 seconds.
Yes, this is a very similar technique that I have been using and it works great. One suggestion of something that worked well for me was to use safeParse instead of parse. Then if it doesn’t pass validation, you can retry by passing in the JSON object and the validation error messages. You could also use tricks like starting with a smaller model, then try larger models if you hit a validation failure. Not a great approach for real-time chat but very useful for when you need high-quality results.

Because it's dangerous and a lot of kids have economic pressures that force them to do dangerous jobs they don't choose to do. Sometimes those kids don't have engaged parents or guardians present (many are recent immigrants or migrants) and sometimes their parents/guardians are economically desperate. These laws were created to stop terrible abuse of child labor that took place in this country, seeing them repealed even slightly is very concerning.
