I haven't used it yet but we utilize instacart in our household, I'll be very eager to see if I can feed it a few URLs for recipes i'd like to cook in the week, intelligently collect and organize the ingredients (and their proper amounts) needed, add it to an instacart account order where I approve the final list, and order.

It would save me a pretty manual repetitive task I do most weeks at least once or twice. If I can now basically just focus on the planning of meals by selecting recipes, that will feel like a real time saver that I can now do other things with.

A part of this was that zstd and Brotli were able to use compression history windows of MBs not KBs, while DEFLATE maxes out at 32KB. RAM was thousands of times more expensive in the early 90s, so a smaller history window made sense.

There are also optimizations that only work on today's larger cores, and you have to actively update old code to get the advantages (happily some work is going into that): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32533061 / https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32537545

That's not to minimize the clever ideas and amazing implementation work in new stuff. It's more that people were making smart decisions both then and now, more so than you might guess just from comparisons on today's hardware.
> The toppings you buy at subway that are essentially water in some limp cell matrix bear little resemblance to vegetables.

How are these different from the vegetables produced by traditional farming?

If I take someone who has always eaten the vegetables from traditional farming and switch them to Subway vegetables, what measurable change happens to that person?
Similar effect, yes, but sports fans come off (to me) as more extreme. I've never seen someone hate another because they chose the wrong brand of phone, for instance, but I've absolutely seen people hate other people for choosing the wrong team.

English-language Twitter has always had a huge amount of inflammatory political commentary. I gave up on the platform for many years because I couldn't follow artists, film directors, or engineers without seeing their political opinions plastered all over my feed and I found it distracting and obnoxious. As others have pointed out, you're looking at the comment section of an account that posts political satire.

What do you mean by "these types of political statements"? Right-wing ones?
At the city level? No.

You can look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_cities_b..., sort by the homicide rate and almost all of the top 50 voted Democrat in the 2020 election. Not Tulsa or Oklahoma City, not Mobile. Eyeballing it, I don't see any other cities that voted Republican.

High homicide rates are a blue city thing, almost exclusively.
Why not? If you've got a hare to butcher, you'd likely want to split it. You could leave the carcass whole and roast it, but that's only one of the many ways to use the animal.

If you want to argue over details that make little difference though, I'd recommend using the term "splitting hairs" instead.

It means exactly that. This is in the spirit of the old free version of Mailinator. Use a randomly generated string as the local part of the address to prevent others from guessing and looking that that inbox.
Didn't say that the old process was optimal but the cost of it meant that there were built-in natural limits. As the GP said, removing the time and effort required often results in production of a lot of worthless output.

> I’m sure that there is a good reason why, but I dislike that Google Workspace accounts are often excluded from these kinds of things. I mean, I pay Google every month real money and in exchange I get less?

No, you pay Google for a business-focused offering that favors stability and proper integration of management tools for enterprise, so you get stability and products that have had proper integration of management tools for enterprise.

You can pay (for more storage, support, and other benefits) for the Google consumer offering in the form of Google One, in which case you get the consumer offerings even when they are unstable and haven’t been integrated with enterprise management, but don’t get the business-focused components that come with Google Workspace business offerings.
> This has nothing to do with ChatGPT and everything to do with Amazon tolerating counterfeits and plagiarism.

How can you say that it's got nothing to do with ChatGPT and it is a counterfeit or plagiarized work? I'm not squaring the circle here. Do you believe he didn't produce the counterfeit or plagiarized work using ChatGPT after all?

Perhaps you're saying ChatGPT is just a tool, which would be fair enough, but we frequently condemn toolmakers for enabling criminal behavior: gun manufacturers, pharmaceutical companies producing opioids, etc.

I see in the news today that the city of Baltimore is even suing some car manufacturers for enabling auto theft by not having enough anti-theft precautions.

In that light, wouldn't you say that ChatGPT at least makes it easier to produce counterfeit or plagiarized works, and that even if they are not legally culpable, they are in some sense enabling behavior that would not happen otherwise?
Any recommendations for rust template engines? I'd like something that can easily render labeled fragments of a template instead of requiring me to split a page into a dozen little files. Kinda like inline {{block}} definitions in Go's html/template. Speed is also nice.

From template-benchmark-rs [0] I found sailfish [1] (fast, but no fragments(?)). render-rs [2] and syn-rsx [3] both let you write html in rust macros which is cool (maybe that can substitute for fragments?). Then there's gtmpl-rust [4] which is just Go templates reimplemented in rust.

I kinda agree! Forcing the customer to sign a car theft waiver that other car companies do not would solve the problem somewhat. It informs them so that they can use their money on a different vehicle.
I absolutely agree. If it were a ‘.html’ extension that opened a self extracting zip we would have an issue but I struggle to see the danger with this. If someone, technical or not, is already accepting the risk of opening a ‘.zip’ file from an unknown source the attack vector doesn’t grow by opening a webpage unexpectedly. Furthermore I can rename a malware.exe to malware.zip and send it out by email and the implications are obvious. Maybe the .zip TLD will dissuade technical users from accessing the domain but I hardly see it as a new danger that could be described as “evil” or “malicious” on googles part. I could be wrong and would love to hear a clever person think of a feasible attack but imo this does not warrant any panic.
> once all the thieves are in jail, the remainder of the populace would mind their own business and walk past the gold bars

Perhaps. I posit that you are going to run out of one of these things sooner than you are going to run out of thieves though: gold bars, patience of police to hunt down your stolen gold bars, places in prison.

You are going to run out of gold bars because if there is a stash of them unsecured there will be some thieves who either by sheer luck, or by being better at their job than the police at theirs will succesfully get away with stealing them.

You are going to run out of police patience by one of two ways: either immediately, once they hear that your unsecured gold bars were just laying in your front garden. In which case they take your report and chuck it in a drawer to forget about it. Or if you are politically well connected they will try to persuade you to secure them better. If you are literally their king and they can’t convince you to store the gold better they might try to protect it by posting a policeman next to it

And then finnaly if you have so much money that replenishing the stolen gold is not a problem, and you have so much political power that the police is not able to change your storage practices then that is when you are going to run out of space in your prisons.

> If your thesis is that literally everyone would steal those gold bars

Not at all. But it doesn’t need to be. My thesis is that there would be enough people who would try that it overwhelms your police force destined to throw thieves in prison.
I don't mind the sluggishness as much as the dialog in Witcher games. I tend to prefer games with little-to-no required dialog and Zelda's interactions tend to be more mechanical than conversational.

I'm fine with lore, but as soon as I have to sit down and listen to video game writing while losing control of my character, I'm instantly bored.
For most people (i.e. those who use email via web) you're downloading a file from the internet either way. There isn't really a good way, in my opinion, to convince people to validate where the file downloaded from. Things like prompts are just as likely to become as ignored as the URL in the downloads status or the "this file is from the internet" warning. It's unrealistic to expect a person to check 999 times so on the 1,000th time they can catch the 1 time they were being tricked (or whatever numbers you want to use, point is it's just too rare compared to how often it does what they want and bugs them).
I downvoted for use of the word simp, I don’t think it has a place on hackernews.
In most countries the prison system is unpleasant, including the UK, Italy, Spain, Japan, Ukraine, Mexico, etc. In addition the justice/legal systems slightly favor the prosecution.

Salvador was overrun with gang violence, a new government came in, rounded up the gangsters and crime has gone down. On balance the population of Salvador is better off.
> In that a corporation like Twitter or Google, that has immense power over society, should have the same kind of burdensome regulation?

Maybe but I have more trust in Google than in government. And it's also a lot easier to opt-out from Google than government. In theory governments put big corporations in check but sometimes governments get in bed with corporations to fuck everybody else. In the case of this bill it looks like it will move power from big tech, small media and individuals to old media conglomerates. BTW many politicians in Brazil own local radio stations and newspapers. So it's clear to me that in this case the proposed regulation do more harm than good.

> Governments at least are elected and have a lot of checks and balances imposed on them.

The supreme court in Brazil isn't elected and doesn't have functional checks and balances in place. Recently they ordered the arrest of hundreds, they temporarily suspended an elected governor, they censored Google and Twitter because they dared to stonewall this bill. They can bypass the legislative process by changing the meaning of laws. Felipe Neto, an youtuber with millions of subscribers that is aligned with the government and supports this bill threatened those that opposed the bill that if the bill don't pass the supreme court will legislate in place of congress. This is the new normal, Brazil is slowly becoming a judicial dictatorship. BTW, that abject creature made his career spreading hate and disinformation in the Internet.
At my previous job I, too, set up CI/CD from Schematics/PCB data to device documentation PDFs, 3D models for mechanical integration, and packages for several of our EMS (electronics manufacturing services, each required different data formats) and other items, such as part database management (EOL checks, availability, prices). I, too, used KiCad and Gitlab, and was honestly quite happy with it. The biggest problem was that at a professional scale, KiCad was crashing a bit more often than one would like and it was tedious to find and fix the bugs or work around them if they were already fixed upstream (which they often were).

Still, this heavily sped up prototyping, as anybody could always fetch the data required to release or produce stuff. Shifting left works for electronics just as well as it does for software. :)

"He doesn’t write code or do CAD today, but he is perfectly capable of doing so."

You think there's a problem reminding readers that venerated people aren't good role models? Why? Why not strive to be better than them, intentionally moving past their flaws?
This looks like a non-problem to me. You have one name on the paper, so any ideas in it which are not credited to someone else via some citation are assumed to be that author's original ideas.

The three authors can publish three papers, each with their own angle on the subject matter, highlighting their ideas, and citing the ideas from the collaborators.

The papers could mutually cite each other, creating a graph, and be published with the same date.
I found using Wolfram Alpha plugin is very powerful combination that makes ChatGPT able to do a calculations correctly. And solve a lot of equations that I might need to add later to a code that ChatGPT will produce. For example the last time I told it to solve a DE and then asked it to convert the units to natural units and then write a code that include this solution.

Without Wolfram Alpha, ChatGPT completely miss up the analytical solution and the units conversion. There is also a new Diagram it plugin which allow me to create and modify diagram inside ChatGPT which I'm currently trying and seems useful but did not integrate it in real life use case yet.
> I've seen my aging father change settings on a new computer to turn on showing file extensions on Windows

Man, you're lucky. My aging father doesn't know how to change the inputs on his TV. And he doesn't understand why "our Internet is down" implies "the TV will not work" when the TV is clearly working, because it's telling him that it "can't connect."

We'll walk together, it won't be late,

I feel like the core message on this page is really weakened by including a broader critique of Google. It shouldn't matter who owns the TLD.

Even if Google wasn’t the .zip owner, or if you don’t believe they’re an insidiously corrupting force, you can still agree that .zip domains are overly confusing and ripe for abuse and attacks. This argument stands on its own, and focusing on the Google aspect just muddles the issue. (Though I agree with some of the sentiment)
Furthermore, there's absolutely zero evidence that Twitter's usage is up. There's no actual data to draw that conclusion from, Twitter is now private and under no obligation to share.

If you ask for a source, you're gonna get linked to one tweet of his dated Dec 18th. In totally unrelated news, Dec 18th just happens to be the date when World Cup finals in Qatar were held, before all the mindblowingly stupid changes.

But even if it did increase, it's just bots. There's a crypto scam at the top of US trending every day, and when you click on it and then click on latest and scroll down a bit, you just see a bunch of random 5-10 words followed by a hashtag. There's one right now, #Kicks. About 12 hours ago it was #Wednesdaytoken. It's gonna get purged when some employee finally gets around to doing that, and then the next one's gonna happen tomorrow.

> PA-RISC, etc.) or just left the market entirely (Apple, Commodore).

Worth noting that had Commodore's astonishingly out of touch and schizophrenic corporate management not driven the company into the grave, the Amiga engineering team had already settled on PA-RISC as their next generation architecture as well, and I believe even had reached prototype stage on the vapors of cash renained in their final months of existence.
The climate doesn’t care about per capita. The developing world has the majority of the population, so the majority of additional CO2 will be coming from there.
AR needs less peripherals. The number one reason people buy a headset and stop using it after a week is that the ergonomics are awful. No one wants to deal with all of that crap. My prediction for Apple AR is that they've really nailed down an integrated IR (maybe even LiDAR?) based 6DOF hand/finger pose recognition system, a la Leap Motion.

> which means going back to pre-Elon content moderation

Not necessarily, it depends how things get implemented.

There isn't any reason Twitter couldn't build content classification tools that allowed advertisers to select which content to cluster and be targeted with and which content to exclude for perception reasons. The latter is easier than full moderation because it is much more tolerant of false positives.

Or it could focus on distinct product, like whatever their new video content platform thing is going to be.

Or maybe DM based ads.

Or opening up the third party ecosystem again and doing more on the channel side.

Or Musk has said a bunch of things about payment platforms that he wanted to do a paypal and wasn't able to implement but now has an opportunity to try. Similarly for things like identity/IAM products or other internet glue.

Or they could pivot into other advertising platforms and manage spend and and automation across different social media properties in addition to Twitter's own.

Lot's of different potential direction.
This is covered in the article:

"Europe’s steelmakers have one more strong incentive to get decarbonising. Under the eu emissions-trading system, they are currently awarded 80% of their allowances for CO2 emissions free of charge in order to remain competitive with dirtier producers in places like China and India. Over the next ten years the eu will phase out these freebies and replace them with a carbon tariff on dirty imports. If eu steelmakers stay grey, calculates Morgan Stanley, their profits could sink by up to 70%."

Draft stealing is absolutely a thing that happens. Not infrequently, an author will shop a book around to different publishers, and then a publisher will like the title and pay someone less to rewrite it than buying it and get it to market before the original. There's been a few relatively high profile cases of this in the media over the years.

Same shit happens to scriptwriters and music artists.
The way Windows handles these things almost makes you think they want to handicap their users to make the transition to something else more difficult.

A responsible OS should help educate and empower their users. Windows just want them to stay where they are, use Office and only install programs from their official store.
But you're not even technically correct when you claim "Eh, not really. It's all a mistake how we interpret domain names."...

This document clearly says that the dotless form is perfectly acceptable and even expected.

Take for example this snippet:

Relative names are either taken relative to a well known origin, or to a
list of domains used as a search list. Relative names appear mostly at
the user interface, where their interpretation varies from
implementation to implementation, and in master files, where they are
relative to a single origin domain name. The most common interpretation
uses the root "." as either the single origin or as one of the members
of the search list, so a multi-label relative name is often one where
the trailing dot has been omitted to save typing.

Which says that relative names are meant to be used in user interface (ie by humans) and the most common interpretation of a dotless name is to be in the global/root namespace.

So yes, the dotless notation comes down to own we interpret domain names. However that interpretation is not a mistake, it is expected.
Just add a bunch of political terms into your word block list. It helps make Twitter much more enjoyable.

If error is unavoidable and any underestimate is untenable, the regulation isn't feasible and the DEA (and the federal government in general) simply shouldn't have this power.
