I'm seeing lots of comments from fellow software engineers that seem to boil down to "all software regulation is bad" and I'd like to know where that's coming from, or if it's just a minority of the more libertarian-minded among us.

Regulation can of course be a problem, but it can also do a lot of good to protect consumers. Do people feel this way about the FDA, the FAA, etc?
Application dependent. Usually Microsoft Swiftkey, but Hacker's Keyboard when I am programming (or similar).
In France (civil law, different from US common law) a notary is a qualified lawyer whose role when selling the house is to ensure that all the legal aspects are handled correctly (including things as making sure that the technical reviews of the house have been done, that there are specific documents from the city etc.), and to make sure that the people who sign the documents are the ones that are allowed to do so.

This means that when you are done with the signature, all legal aspects of the transactions are covered.

Since what needs to be checked is completely standardized and what is in the contract is standardized as well, you are not expected to negotiate anything (except for the price). There are no surprises in the contract either - it is all standard (and boring).

When you are at the notary the contract is read out loud but for one you do not understand everything, and for two you do not worry either as this is the same thing everytime and cannot be neither less nor more than what is required by law.

BTW, each party can have their own notary (what each of them do is legally defined as well and they share the fee (also according to the law :)) or you can have the same for both.

It is very comforting for a stressful act like this.

This is very similar with labour contracts (no notary involved, but a fixed set of points in the contract, no more an no less)
The "exception" doesn't go far enough. If code is open source then anyone can fork and fix it. Money doesn't change this.
I'm really surprised by all the comments. Do people actually disagree with any of these? These are all great tips and if you follow them people will like and respect you more
Personally I feel like TailwindUI is a missed opportunity.

Their opposition to abstracted utility classes means that anything you want to do has incredibly long, unreadable classes. Its quite a bit of work to abstract away the bits that you want.

https://daisyui.com is my absolute sweet spot for abstraction. Its a bit limited, especially compared to TwUI and flowbite but its developer experience is a joy.
But (almost) no German. The most spoken (native) language in Europe.
Almost completely unrelated but due to the naming and some aspects of the aesthetic I cant help but associate to that other EVA from the 90's :)

That also tells us they didn't actually check for every place on their list whether Bard was compliant with local law – they're simply assuming that some small island country's regulators have no power over them.
> Does longtermism place value on making sure future people are genetically similar to us?

You don't get 10^58 people in flesh and blood bodies. Most of them only exist in their version of the matrix inside a quantum computer.
IIRC load times were improved in a later update (although that update came too late, imo)
They are probably waiting to see what happens with Open AI's compliance of GDPR
Sometimes it feels like allowing scammers and crooks is kind of the goal, isn't it?
And yet they have about the same amount of trouble with Nazis as ... more or less every other country in the world. Very mysterious.
It was a terrible and a stupid, not-well-though stunt.

Absolutely terrible.

Though, what damage other than crashed debris in a remote land, is exactly done?

Not to support the act anyway, but as long as no one got hurt, one may not face 20 years jail time for crashing their own plane in a remote land.

Stupid? Absolutely.

Illegal? Shouldn't be.
> Bond reform designed to make sure no one stays in jail while their cases are pending with no safety net to handle more criminals on the streets,

At the time you make bond, you have merely been charged with a crime—you are not a criminal. I’m sure a prosecutor does get tired of having to argue cases against defendants who were able, by virtue of habeas corpus, to prepare a defense.

> shorter parole periods, lower sentences for repeat offenders,

Things that mitigate real inequities present when the justice system interacts with poor people.

> the malicious and unnecessary prosecution of law enforcement officers,

This is a terrible thing to say in a world where police officers have no obligation to serve and extraordinary legal defenses that protect them from almost every form of wrongdoing.

> overuse of diversion programs,

The United States already incarcerates a relatively large fraction of the world’s children. He would prefer incarcerating more.

> intentionally not pursuing prosecutions for crimes lawfully on the books after being passed by our legislature and signed by a governor,

This prosecutor has had this power for twenty years, and I’m certain he’s used it freely. He’s likely used it to protect people he feels sympathy toward, and refrained from using it to protect people he feels no sympathy toward. He’s likely used it because he feels overworked or under-appreciated.

> all of these so-called reforms have had a direct negative impact, with consequences that will last for a generation.

As a prosecutor, he had wide-reaching legal power to make his community a better place. What did he do instead? To hear him tell it, he was the one in prison for twenty years.
If anyone is looking for non-sensationalist news edited by humans, I'd like to offer a shoutout to the newsletter put out by https://join1440.com/. I've been reading it now for a couple of months and, after comparing their choice of stories to cover and the ones covered in the national news (US and Germany), I'm feeling ready to leave the mainstream and let 1440 curate for me. So far they have not missed offering me an interesting and un-opinionated summary of what the mainstream outlets I've been watching consider the most important story of the day. It's a 5 minute read and is published every day except Sunday.
Unfortunately it does, and nobody likes them:

They're called investor-state dispute settlements, and they let corporations sue governments for loss of profit from things such as environmental protection and public health laws: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Investor%E2%80%93state_dispute...
OpenProps is on par with the developer experience of Tailwind in my opinion. The choice between the two more comes down to preference, class names as inline styles or a collection of Css variables
I'm grateful for the opportunity to learn about so many technologies I'd never heard of before. Maybe.
I just checked and I see the option to use an existing email address (in Russia). It's available in the account creation form, as an option below the field that asks you what you want your GMail-address to be.

Might be A/B-testing though and you're in a group that doesn't have it available at the moment.
Having played and completed (though not 100%'ed) both, I did like HZD's story more - though Zelda has never been known for the stories - but disliked/hated everything else, to the point of going from somewhat hyped for the second game to having absolutely no intention of ever playing it. The gameplay is just so... like everything else. It's a competent game, that's it.

BOTW, on the other hand, has the usual Nintendo good-vs-evil story, but everything else is basically perfect. The gameplay is incredibly fluid, the world is immersive, the soundtrack is great. Even "bad" mechanics like the weapon durability one have their place - they force you to experiment in the sandbox and try out more stuff instead of just killing one lynel and keeping his sword.
You really think Google doesn’t spend a single penny on compliance anywhere?

I can understand hating Google and hating our current mode of capitalism, but it’s a little hard to understand making such an obviously false claim. Do you believe what you said? Or is it just edgelordism?
Typescript is just Javascript with more features. Why would you not embrace that? There's nothing taken away, only added.
The "holding hostage" phrasing implies that somehow the House needs to use the debt ceiling as leverage to cut spending. But to cut spending, the House just needs to not approve spending - no agreement by the Senate or President should be required. So there's something funny going on. I don't know what exactly - maybe they anticipate that the Senate will "hold hostage" spending on essential programs in order to get the House to approve spending on programs the House doesn't want to approve?

Anyway, the "holding hostage" phrasing would make more sense if the House were using the debt ceiling issue to try to force action on some unrelated issue (eg, abortion). Linking the debt ceiling increase with future spending cuts is not that sort of thing.
Back in COVID I looked a into O3 (Ozone) based solutions that are highly effective as antibacterial/virus but come with a list of problems like you need to use the solutions within a few hours of generating them through electrolysis so you need to make your surface cleaning products on site and another problem is when aerosolized in sufficient quantity to be of use then the space is off limits for those few hours too. But if you can live within those conditions then O3 is a highly effective low cost low environmental impact solution.
Europe needs more factories and fewer dependencies
Yes, I do.

He purchased them specifically before the law against purchasing them went into effect. I'm no in CA, but I'm quite sure he still has them (or at least did while I visited after the law was in effect) and that the law did not require confiscating previously-owned firearms, i.e., they were grandfathered in.
Show HN: Picopins, a CLI Pinout for the Raspberry Pi Pico
I was experimenting with ways to store pinout data to generate the Pico pinout website [1] rather than hand-editing HTML- and got carried away.

Pretty much all the heavy lifting is done by the Python library "rich" [2], which makes colourised/structured output on the command-line dangerously easy.

It doesn't to the receiver though. The point is conveying meaning to the other person, not how you internally feel (which obviously nobody but you gets access to)
Bit strange that uk is included. I was under the impression that there are gdpr like rules prevailing there too despite brexit
Asking for consent isn't enough. You also have to provide an alternative for users who don't want to consent.
As a different Australian, I can tell you I have no inclination, latent or otherwise, to drive on the wrong side of the road -- I'm very happy to continue to walk, ride, and drive on the left-hand side.

If you're suffering hiccups of thought where you need to work out what to do when driving on the left - the hallway shuffle as you call it - this may indicate something more concerning.

(The Romans were right - and we dismiss their legacy at our peril! : )
The EU is not within their right to regulate products made by Americans companies sold to Americans. If we want to talk imperialism, this is exactly that sort of overreach.
Taking a look at the data up till 2019 it appears to be a bell curve with a increase into the 1980s followed by a decrease into 2019. I do wonder if this is more of a being involved in it for 20 years has just mentally drained this person.

True, many women/couples delay children, but look at Japan where the population has been in decline for many years to the point that there are thousands of empty houses - the converses of many places where zoning rules designed to block new homes for the express reason of forcing scarcity = upwards $$.
There is huge inertia in the trades to build it the old way = codes the old way.

Show HN: Temphia Platform for Apps
Hello HN,

Here is a thing i have been working on for sometime. Its a platform for running apps. Think this as a programmable engine that can be molded to different thing. Here is a video[0] of some stupid example apps on it to showcase some features. Its still early but you can grab binaries from github and try, but there be dragons. give it a try let tell me why its stupid.

best of luck

Could it be that UK, the country that spies and records what everyone does, isn't so big on privacy in practice and they thought the risk is less?
Numbers for those 85% please, and include material deliveries as well, ok?

By now so, the meme of Germany funding Putin by virtue buying gas from Russia is as stale and old as the "they lied about masks" one. Old enough to just not adress anymore.

Nope, a decoder only transformer is a variant of the original architecture proposed by Google [1]. All variants of GPT that we know about (1 through 3) all roughly use this same architecture which takes only the decoder stack from the original Google paper and drops the encoder [2]

> I imagined the teen casually picking up the AirPods in the co-ed locker room where I had dropped them only moments before, putting them in his pocket, and later breaking them out to play some tunes in front of his parents. I pictured them nodding serenely, approving of their clever son who had somehow produced AirPods out of nowhere.

1980s... my brother had a friend who'd come over our house now and then. My mom's walkman went missing, and the next day the kid comes over with... a walkman. My mom's walkman. He said "look what I got for confirmation!"

Couple of thoughts jumped in to my head:

A) Why would anyone gift you a walkman with a broken battery cover held on with tape?

B) You're not Catholic.

My mom had a really awkward conversation with the kid's mom. I don't even think that went all that smoothly. "Don't call my kid a liar!" "So... you're Catholic and Timmy just went through confirmation?" "None of your business!"

WTF? She did get it back, but it was more broken and then unusable than before because... of course. He was all of about 10? 11? Moderately curious how he turned out and where he is now, but... not enough to bother digging. :)
I don't know why people compare software regulation to the regulation of physical things that do obvious harm like food regulations.
Implement everything in Zulu, then watch as the frontend ticket for proper rendering stays on the bottom of the backlog, because you always have more concerning problems than users having to do mental math on times.
Well as a small investor there's no way to get in really. But if they sold shares at a modest valuation I'd give it a punt.

I mean I kind of agree that the microsoft thing is probably a bit of a stunt give that I think they haven't generated any net electrical output at all yet. But I think they have a reasonable chance of getting it working at some point.

Maybe in Ireland. Round here ‘pints’ keep getting smaller.
fatneckbeard_in_alt_universe_001: this guy will get little to no jail time? Seriously??? What is even the point of having an FAA when both big corp && small fry are !punished?

fatneckbeard_in_alt_universe_002: I can understand why FAA came after big corp. But both big corp && small fry are punished? Nobody got hurt here so what exactly is the government going after? This is truly chilling.
Most likely their argument is "but this will keep my from recouping the money I had in FTX when it went bust because I'm in the class of people who are last to get paid out"
The key issue here is the difficult choice between:

a. Incorrectly and significantly disrupting people's lives by locking them up pre-trial when many cases up getting acquitted. This can often sink folk into much worse situations than they were before, creating an endless cycle

b. Potentially releasing some dangerous criminals back into society while they wait their trials

edit: to be clear, I think the likelihood * impact of false positives is way worse than the false negatives
What I don’t understand about the opponents of things like bail reform is that very few other countries have a similar system to the USA at all. A determination is made about whether the person charged is a flight risk, a danger to the public, etc. If they are determined to meet those criteria, they are remanded. If they don’t, they are bailed. Why does money have to have anything to do with it?

"You just can’t have them and also simultaneously expect everyone is going to find it worthwhile to deal with you under such laws"

Actually, we totally can. I can guarantee you that Bard will become available in the EU at one point.
This is an enlightening point, to distinguish between our skill set and field of work. And each field brings certain types of people, some of whom you'll find it better to work with.
The MVCC requirement is still there.

It's like saying C is faster than Ruby. It always will be.
One wild thing is how much performance wins were available compared to ZLib. Pigz is parrellel, but what if you just had a better way to compress and decompress than DEFLATE?

When zstd came out – and Brotli before it to a certain extent – they were 3x faster than ZLib with a slightly higher compression ratio. You'd think that such performance jumps in something as well explored as data compression would be hard to come by. We weren't that close to the efficiency frontier.
What nonsense is this? The EU's laws are constantly fought in the courts.
It's a pop culture reference, you're reading way too much into a witty remark.
Sounds interesting. Just out of curiosity, how would they cover something like the recent "town hall" that CNN hosted for DJT?
It’s ok.

Either Google manages to follow these principles, which to me look aligned to their announced intent for more ethical AI use, or they won’t, and that means their product won’t follow the basic ethical guidelines proposed by the EU, in which case, I’d rather it not be available in the EU (and I don’t understand how anyone would defend a company not ready to address these ethical concerns).
I don't know where exactly in Illinois they live, but violent crime has generally fallen in the state, and is almost certainly much lower than when they moved there. Some local exceptions exist in Chicago, but they keep calling themselves an "Illinois" prosecutor and do not mention the city.
I intuit the same given the jumps we've seen from gpt 3.5 fo 4. The next jump will feature considerably more general intelegence than any one human being, though I think it will have certain weaknesses.
Appearances matter, are you rejecting the notion of style and fashion completely or just disagreeing with this specific advice?
Step 5 seems like an uphill battle. I suspect it will be more like, gradual extension of the new standard to support advertiser-beloved features, to the point that the original upsides of the standard are broken, as users have to keep chasing feature support.

If you want to see how people on ADHD stimulants get treated by doctors, read this: https://slatestarcodex.com/2017/12/28/adderall-risks-much-mo...

It's a bit of a long read, but it's very good. The author is a psychiatrist who deals with this sort of thing frequently.

I can't really comment on the relative risk of dependence for Adderall vs opioids, except from my personal experience. A real addict probably wouldn't even (literally) get out of bed in order to take my daily dose of Adderall (25 mg XR).

I've been taking it for almost 10 years now, and in that time, I've had one dosage increase, from 20 to 25 mg. I've accidentally taken it twice in a day, and I can say with certainty that I do not enjoy the experience when that happens. I honestly can't fathom how anyone would want to take the kinds of doses that addicts take. It's not a fun drug at all, as far as I can tell. If I didn't have to take it to function somewhat normally, I wouldn't take it at all.
Ah, this makes total sense. I was thinking about FLOPs in the abstract and not about the wall-clock time. Thanks for the explanation.
That’s the maximum. He’ll get something less than that. He could have killed lots of people in a bad enough fire.
I haven't checked, but OpenAI probably also doesn't have any office in EU and doesn't sell services specifically to EU citizens/companies. Thus they may claim not to do any business in EU and ignore letters from EU authorities.

This is typical in the US, too (just called a lawyer, not a notary) but it's not required

If you're buying a house with a mortgage, you're going to be represented by a lawyer who makes sure everything is on the up and up (and more importantly the mortgage company is being represented to make sure everything is on the up and up)

But, it's not required and really all that's required to transfer property is a signature on a deed
yeah none of that matters, if the gameplay is amazing. BOTW was amazing and this one looks to have surpassed it from reviews.
I believe a framework like Bootstrap might be a faster approach at the beginning (honestly, it's a fair approach for the whole lifecycle of a project). You get all the building blocks to get a consistent UI working fairly quick with little to no CSS knowledge. Some times removing the unnecessary flexibility may be a boost to get things out there.

But, at the end of day, the best option will be the one you're most comfortable with.

I do predict a Crypto AI play because what's better than using AI but investing in AI. It will probably happen regardless of whether it's a good investment or not.

This is a prediction I'm not advocating for that.
