Thought exercise: List all crimes for which five years in prison would be a deterrent for you but one year in prison would not.

My list is zero entries. Perhaps sentencing guidelines are just us spanking people and not actually a deterrent.

Please post your list when responding.
Your logic is so weird. Done here. :)
Since you mentioned nebulous, this is the Oxford definition:

> verb: bullshit; 3rd person present: bullshits; past tense: bullshitted; past participle: bullshitted; gerund or present participle: bullshitting

> talk nonsense to (someone), typically to be misleading or deceptive.

It’s reasonable to interpret debullshitification as removing bias (i.e. what is misleading or deceptive in the news article) in this context rather than the “fluff” listed.

As I stated in the comment you replied to, GP has a different definition and I agreed removing fluff definitely has value.
Show HN: Terrace: a library for writing more concise and maintainable PyTorch
I've been using pytorch in my research for a while now, and I've been building up a collection of utilities that have made my life a whole lot easier. I've finally gotten around to documenting and open-sourcing this library. If you use pytorch, I hope it can help your work as well. Let me know what you think!
Yeah I’ve been playing TotK with my son all afternoon and I think they’ve done a great job with it - it looks and runs much better than BotW. Pretty remarkable technical achievement I reckon, given the well-known limitations of that machine.

But my point was about where we go from here, in 2023. I’d be disappointed if I couldn’t play this - or a remaster of this, or perhaps its sequel - at 60fps on a next-gen Switch successor, whenever that arrives.
Not even close. It's a BOTW expansion pack writ large, there's little performance or graphical difference between TOTK and BOTW, a game that released six years ago.
What about these regulations is neutering? They sound pretty reasonable I thought.
Google is changing up search. What does that mean for news publishers?
> That's not for Google to decide.

It is explicitly for Google to decide.

Not releasing a product in the EU is well within their right to do, and if the EU begins to demand not only regulation but also that all products are released equally they'll be holding back the entire world and Google should have the EU entirely.
“The eu is spiralling into irrelevance” is up there with “the internet is a fad” and “ai is useless” in the list of absurd sentences to say out loud so nobody takes you seriously ever again.

> As someone who has lost three pairs of AirPods (including the newer pros) I’ve never understood why Apple allows another device to pair with headphones that are already paired to an iCloud account.

Seems kind of user hostile to me. I lose my Apple account I lose my headphones too.
My phone tells me routinely that I've left my airpods behind wherever I just left, even though... they're paired to the phone I'm using which is telling me I left them behind. At least part of this has been broken for some time. I've switched physical airpods and physical iphones, done firmware and ios upgrades, and it's gotten worse. The one commonality is they're all tied to my apple id.

This works for the case of a car designed for LHD and RHD with junkyard LHD parts available, if there RHD version happens to be cheap enough. Unlikely to work in the other direction, especially for a car that has no RHD parts available.
It also does code generation into its own module, so good luck with hoisting in a monorepo where you want multiple independent prisma schemas. MikroORM[1] is a much better alternative to Prisma in my opinion but any ORM carries some form of baggage.

The real problem is the five years of security updates, especially since these devices will be sold for a few years and not just today. Major Android version upgrades don't add much anymore, in my experience.

I think they've added the "material you" theme to a recent Android version, but that was the last major change I've noticed since Android 10. Other than that, it's just a bunch of small details.

All the good stuff is delivered independently through things like Play Services and general app updates. You can easily run an Android 10 tablet that's gotten all the nice bonus features of any other tablet without ever upgrading the OS itself.

This is different from iOS, where any major software feature is delivered as part of an an OS upgrade. Almost all of the features I listed in the "new in iOS 16" change list would be pushed to Android as app updates, except maybe for Focus which integrates deeper (though Google can easily add it through Play Services if they cared).

Take passkeys, for example: new in iOS 16, but on the Android side they've been automatically added to any device running Google Play and Android 9 or later.
Yeah, I read the article, but it seems insane that the government would get priority for the taxes earned stemming from claimants investments over the initial investments themselves. I guess I should have emphasized the "WOULD".
I really do appreciate Prisma's developer experience though. Recently I've been testing out Prisma for migrations and Kysely as the actual ORM.

Prisma is generating the Kysely type definitions automatically so it is still pretty hands off without the production overhead of prisma server/client.
I really quite like my wireless earbuds, you condescending prick. They're great for fitness, and I've not lost them once in the 3-4 years I've owned them.
Today I noticed there is no way to create a Google account without a creating a Gmail account. I remember it was possible.

Open source is decentralized. Everyone is the maintainer. If there is a bug in the code, then anyone can fork and fix it. I don't understand how this law can apply to OSS period.
> Americans wouldn't know real innovation if a walkable neighborhood arrived on a highspeed train and began eliminating healthcare bureaucracy.

Thanks for the laugh, beautifully put.

In general I agree with your point, Americans hyperfocus on certain types of innovation (reinventing this or that wheel, "revolutionising X", like every single bullshit "reinventing transportation" "like a train, but much worse" proposal out there), mistake everything else for lack of innovation, and totally miss the forrest for the trees. New and different stuff is celebrated, even if it's an obvious disaster in the making for most involved (e.g. Uber destroying labour protections, Airbnb putting immense pressure on already stressed housing markets, idiots reinventing trains but worse with "pods").

Meanwhile American companies are drastically behind in many niches (airplanes, cars, trains, railroad companies, cosmetics, etc.), but you don't hear Americans complain for their lack of innovation. But when anything EU is mentioned "innovation is dead, Deutsche Telekom is so old and just sucking Brussels money". When Intel gets subsidies to manage to catch up to the competition because they stagnated it's strategic, but when EU funds go for anything it's handouts propping up failing industries.
We have a unique problem here that cannot be solved with legislation. The world government will never agree to it and will use it for power. The citizenry will never agree to it because the government won't.

Furthermore, we almost unanimously agree that murdering others (especially children) is bad. Murder happens all the time.

Eventually, someone is going to release a self-growth-AI on the world.

That event is what we need to prepare for. Everything else is not worth the effort. More so given the time we have to deal with this issue.

I agree on the causation. During the same time hasn't the US had a major drug crisis across the country? He might be right but he is not showing much evidence (ironically) of it.

PS Very cute username!
Another pilot also said that they strongly recommended he do some specific maintenance on the plane before attempting to fly it to his purported destination, and that Jacob repeatedly told him not to worry about it.

The other pilot even offered to tail him but was rebuffed, with Jacob reportedly saying "if something goes wrong I'll just jump out".
This is very interesting. I've bookmarked the link. Thanks for sharing. I believe minimal is best and this might fit nicely within my larger system. Do you approach other problems with a similar mindset?
The "Nebraska" reference is probably due to the relevant Xkcd: https://xkcd.com/2347/
One problem with neoclassical economics is that utility curves are unobservable and they have philosophical origin.

At some point some has to decide what utility really means and capitalists run into the problem that they run out of things to invest that turn a profit and even if they don't, the profit they get becomes increasingly meaningless. At some point all forms of investment become recreational, just like a video game.
You're right. My tool (in its current form) is for people who know what they should do but simply don't do it.

However, if it's more like "how???", then you might like this popular blog post: https://2quiet2market.com/blog/spme-marketing-habit-for-solo...

Tell me what you think about it.
Except that means that people who fall below the baseline are just cut out. A large swath of the country in the 1950s simply couldn’t fly anywhere.
it depends on what people attribute as harm.

I think the only harm an AI can do is the kind that come from errors (human or otherwise). Such as the boeing 737 Max, where people misuse software.

The type of 'harm' that some people attribute to AI such as loss of economic utility, to me, is not harm. And legislating that away is dangerous.
> It’s time to just ship

With “just shipping” as the stated goal, I am a big believer in using the tools you know, even if they’re not absolutely perfect or new or sexy enough to blog about.

Using things you know like the back of your hand will smooth over innumerable little snags that you’d run into if everything were new to you, and let you focus on the actual problem your software is supposed to solve. I can get a toy app live in an hour with the tools I know best, but I’m confident there’s at least one thing in this stack that I’d get stuck on for half a day, just because it’s unfamiliar.

Working with a team? Everyone throws their best-known tools in the pot and one person is directly responsible for selecting among them.
Are you Russian propagandist? They are probably the only actor nowadays who use to name some groups of European people as nazi with emphasis on some parades. Why not to name any group which fits what you are claiming - for letting us to see your guts without asks for some extra clarifications?
Well you need patents and those patents will be created and registered in the US or China this way. Kind of like how EU car manufacturers have been sleeping on the EV movement. Now they have to source their parts from Chinese manufacturers.

So wealth is leaking(patent costs etc) out of Europe and the continent will have less wealth in total over time. Especially now that the cheap Russian energy they had access too is going to their manufacturing rival China and it will also boost Indian development manufacturing.

Brussels is doing everything in their power to deindustrialise and make Europe less competitive on the global market..
Not sure I fully follow where your response is aiming but if I understand correctly, I don't hate JS but I don't like using it for business logic. I feel these frameworks (I use LiveView) let me use JS what it's good for: a DSL for complex DOM manipulation. Everything else, including simple DOM mutations, is handled by LiveView and I can write business logic in a nicer language.
I have a service (made using the Shortcuts app) that takes whatever I've highlighted and pipes it to ChatGPT with a prompt that basically says "the user, who is a reasonably educated software developer, wants you to explain/analyze/summarize this piece of text that they've highlighted", and shows the result in a pop-up window.

What's amazing is that I could've built the shortcut on my iPhone while commuting to work, it's all built right in. The same service works without a single change on iPhone, iPad and Mac (where it's possible to assign a keyboard shortcut to it).
> The lack of available, organic, non treated fruit at an affordable price is obviously the real problem

The real problem is that the organic, non treated fruit have the same quality (sweet, poor nutrients) like the other fruit. The only differences are the price and the lack of pesticides.
I think one of those circumstances is when you previously worked for the company behind Remix. He is probably just really comfortable with the framework, so it makes sense for him to use it.

I agree, but I worry we're leaving the age where an average Joe with no particular computer skill can install free software. My wife, not really a computer person, installed Ubuntu on her old laptop by herself just fine. She didn't even tell me, I just walked by and saw her using GNOME one day. But for this new laptop, she had to call in a ringer.

Libreboot et al are important, but meaningless in the grand scheme of things if you have to be a serious computer geek to be able to install them on your own hardware.

The battleground is hardware manufacturers yielding to Microsoft's requests. Lock down the bootloader, lock down the bios, lock down the firmware, before you know it, it's as hard to install Ubuntu on a Dell as it is to install LineageOS on a carrier locked Samsung Galaxy.

We need manufacturers that say no to Microsoft and keep making unlocked PC hardware.
Horrific in the Evil Dead sense, where it’s both horrific and really very funny.
They said the same about GDPR and is working fine. If a company crosses me I just request data removal and call it a day. It's all good. I do hate GDPR popups tho.
Yeah I got a kick out of that one too. I like what LiteFS is going for but it's interesting to see in a stack focused on minimizing dependencies and avoiding painful updates.
I don't disagree with you, but many people on HN think digital information should be free, just sayin'
I quite like the ribbons. It exposes a lot more control that the menu and toolbars, the contextual split makes sense and keyboard navigation works great. It's an interface you have to get used to but once you do it's actually more efficient.
So, I know nothing of Illinois or State Attorney Kim Foxx, but I do have a litmus test where I search the author/person in focus and note the top results who are sharing the story — New York Post, Daily Mail, Fox News, etc.

Does such things invalidate the points made in the article? No. But it helps me judge the level of scrutiny I need to apply.
And then there's Indonesia which has 200m people. Though to be fair Indonesia is prioritizing scooters more than cars (as is India).
I think there was in fact room to make the video seem more realistic and still jump safely. But I agree general:

I think he was at a weird intersection where doing all the things he "should" have in the case of an actual engine failure, (try to restart it, make a radio call, try to land (there were plenty of options to land)) and somehow faking that none of those worked / were not sufficient .... would also have introduced a lot of variables he couldn't control / still resulted in a video that didn't look right / raised more suspicious.

Of course the issue ultimately was that doing none of those things was suspicious too... and you have to hide the evidence that your plane was in fact fully functional ...

Turns out it isn't an easy thing to fake.
Honestly, until it doesn't have victims it's just a good thing.

What do blink or webkit have to do with their comment? Regulations like this are designed to weed out scammers and charlatans and make the market better for everyone, hence "pest control." Think Theranos and the FDA.
>I meet a lot of people who want to start a business. Some don’t have an idea yet. I don’t understand this. It’s like wanting to wear a bandage when you don’t have a wound.

Well, that's if you base it on "passion" and "scatching a personal itch" and such. If you just want to make money, it's enough (and often better) to merely want to start a business, any business. Then you check the market conditions, find a good niche, and execute.

People with succesful businesses making whatever didn't necessarily want to be in the "making X" business. They wanted to be in the "making money" or "making sales" business. Some of the most succesful businesses the onwers could not care less what they sell, as long as it sells.

This clicked after I've read several such stories (e.g. from a guy who had a factory and was just a generic product manufacturer that builds "whitelabel" stuff for others. He could not care less about generic manufacturing as a "passion", it was just a job he could do well, and saw he could make profit and eventually sell, as he did for tens of millions), and also met some such people in different businesses.

I'm pretty sure most tech startup founders don't care about some specific business idea "passion" either. They appear to do, but if they did, they'd insist to their original "passion"/idea and wont pivot to something completely different all the time, just because it's more profitable.

Twitter started as Odeo and was about podcasts of all things. Groupon was about consumer activism. Instagram started as a service for "checking in" particular locations. Slack came from a game development company making a game.

The problem is not "merely wanting to start a business and not knowing what kind". The problem is "merely wanting to start a business and not acting on that".
The problem is still the same as it was with the cookie law: Should we regulate capability or intent? Regulation by capability is easy to specify in the law, but it cripples useful technology as much as predatory technology and thus ends up being just a legal manifestation of technophobia, hindering overall progress. Regulation by intent/purpose or actual harm (as opposed to potential harm) is a much better option in my opinion.

The other troubling aspect of this is that it's not going to be proportional, but then hard-edged law is a broader problem.

This sounds like a bad idea.

You don't want the employer to waste your time, so you should try not to waste theirs. If you want to work for them you should go in assuming they're not trying to deceive you either.

Is it an alliance when EU led by Germany funded Putin regime for the past two decades?

Interesting.

By the way, more than 85% of the funding is coming from the US.

My point really is that even if EU regulations against US big techs are well-intentioned, they’re effectively doing the work for China. I don’t understand what the Chinese have done for the EU. US, on the other hand, have spilled blood to defend the continent.

Nintendo cares about battery life above most other concerns. The Game Boy was not the most capable handheld when it was released. It was severely underpowered compared to the hardware that was out there. Atari released the Lynx a few months later. Sega release the Game Gear the following year, which was essentially a portable Master System.

However, the Game Boy ran forever on 4 AA batteries. Which is part of the reason why the original Game Boy has outsold every other non-Nintendo handheld gaming system except the original PSP, combined.
Hey, I was one screaming at everyone about how silly it all was. I’ve got a nice decade of HN comments to demonstrate. BUT I also have a decent interest in personal finance and understand that world better than your average bear. It sucks that predators are just allowed to scam less informed people, and this is the response they have to deal with.

We’re all getting older, and there’s a good chance we’ll lose some of our faculties along the way. I’d prefer to live in a place that does something to help protect me from outright scams, and not have to take “personal responsibility”, and constantly be on guard against every potential bad actor.
I think the 20 years is more to make an example out of him. In those days where people eat soap, put themselves in danger, harass police officers and even crash planes to get views / attention, this kind of sentence will put fear in people, I think.

100% agree, I've always been impressed by what the projects and courses Kent puts out. I'd love to hear a podcast episode with him really diving into the choices behind everything in this stack.
Funny how all these EU rules come at the detriment of US companies.

Compare the ambience of Zora’s Domain, music and all, to the equivalent area in BOTW. Compare the divine beasts to literally any temple in OOT. BOTW doesn’t even come close to the magic of Ocarina imo. The story in OOT was also much better imo. Seeing Hyrule as a kid and beginning to love it, then seeing it waste away as Adult Link, and being motivated to defeat an enemy with clear character development, Ganandorf, as opposed to a vague dark force. BOTW substituted magic for tedium. I didn’t have fun running around (because my horse is too far away and can’t be summoned), breaking weapons, running out of stamina constantly, and completing grindy uninspired shrines, all with almost no music. There’s enough there that I’ll finish the game…eventually. 7/10 at best
Looking at the logo wall, happily surprised that it doesn’t include React!

…then looking a bit closer to discover that once again, I’m running in to a React dev who assumes that everyone assumes that everyone uses React, thus you don’t even need to mention that a boilerplate built on React is built on React.
It propably is, based on how many of those small, VC backed start-ups, complain about, I don't know, the burden of properly declaring taxes, paying social security for their properly registered employees and so on.
You would find it even more difficult in almost every other language available.. What you're describing is simply the pain of learning a programming language with virtually no prior experience.

Maybe it's more simple in Python but this really isn't that complicated, it's certainly not a valid criticism of JS.
