I disagree on the UX. It is overly complicated, with all kinds of hidden gestures and unintuitive ways of doing things.

Just the other day i was trying to share another user with my wife and just couldn't figure it out. I think there were some hidden privacy settings for that user that i wasn't aware of.
Nice that you posted Ulichney's author page. I am a co-author of the second paper in the list, which describes a parallelizable error diffusion algorithm with amazing image quality, developed by the first author (not me), as part of her PhD thesis.

This has not been deployed in a product however, mostly because the approach mostly taken in new products is that described in the third paper in the list, which is (part of what is) marketed as "HP pixel control", which is inherently a method for color imaging, and which also opens up many new possibilities
Holy s***.

I recall fondly the years of Daily Show with John Stewart, and tried to watch as much of that clip as I could but I just don't think he's qualified to ask useful questions here and the adversarial dialog isn't shedding much light per second.

The standard rebuttal seems to be "are corporations greedier today than five years ago" and the likely answer seems to be no. As best I can tell, the supply shock legitimately increased prices, and the pace at which prices are reverting is slowed by profit taking. In theory, high profits should lead to more competitors entering the market, but this is either a laggy response, or stymied by interest rate increases raising the cost of capital formation.
Testing at ScyllaDB showed that io_uring could be >3x the throughput of posix-aio, and 12% faster than linux-aio. This is back in 2020, so I am sure that there's been a lot of work done since then.

Thanks for clarifying. Perhaps I misinterpreted your offering a bit.

> “Psychic lets you meet your customers where they are. Never let "do you integrate with that?" be a blocker.”

I’d assumed from your marketing that most of your customers’ customers are in places like Asana/Notion/Slack, and so on.

If I want to meet them there, I don’t need a vector database or Python SDK. These APIs provide normalised, structured data over HTTP.

The problem you claim to solve (disconnect between multiple platforms) can be solved by a service like “IFTTT powered by AI”. But if you offer an “IFTTT for AI tooling”, that’s all good! It just doesn’t seem to align with how you present yourselves.

Maybe it’s just product/market fit, or choice of phrasing on your landing pages. Just saying I’d spend a fortune with whoever creates a true “universal API” (in the sense of IFTTT/Zapier), designed for general-purpose use cases over HTTP. Hope that makes sense!
Perhaps I shouldn't have said "nothing". I mean "nothing in regards to inflation", which was what the original poster was talking about.

Maybe QE had an outsized effect on inequality. But that's a very different argument than what people were talking about just 2 or 3 posts above.

As I said earlier: sometimes the doves win, sometimes the hawks win. Seeing the hawks and doves argue rationally is... good... for our system. There's reasons to be against QE (even back in 2008, 2010, and 2012). And creating rational arguments backed by data is a good thing. There's a lot of details that this interest-rate policy business causes, and its well worth the debate + data to try to figure out what's best for our country.

But the "ZIRP causes inflation doomers" weren't making rational, data-backed arguments. They never have. And I think after a decade+ of them making such arguments, I can safely say that they've been wrong this whole time.

We've given this idea long enough to play out its theory. I think its safe for us to start talking about burying that argument and moving on to better arguments.
For my whole life, every time oil prices rose the media blamed it on "corporate greed". Every time they fell, there was silence.
The USSR included Ukraine and was the beneficiary of US lend-lease, too, and per Stalin would have lost without Lend-Lease.

So, you know, not exactly the same as now.
The fact that money is ending up as corporate profits does not actually prove that corporate profits are causing inflation. For example, consider natural gas: it's now vital to producing all kinds of things, from fertilisers and electricity to consumer goods. Supply of it was already tight coming out of the pandemic as factories tried to catch up on missed production and consumers spent the money they'd saved up from furlough, boosted unemployment, etc - then Russia choked off their exports and invaded Ukraine and there wasn't enough.

This directly choked off the amount of stuff that consumers could purchase, causing inflation as more money chased less goods and services. That money ended up as profits at gas producers; their costs hadn't changed, but the market price of their product increased until demand dropped down to meet the available supplies. However, this doesn't mean that inflation could be avoided if we could only stop the greedy gas companies from profiteering and force them to charge less. They cannot supply the amount the global economy would consume if everyone's wages were worth as much and they could buy as much with them as before, which means any lower prices would be fake: there'd be people and businesses who'd want to buy at those prices but couldn't despite having the money, much like how the Soviet Union or Venezuela ended up with empty shelves. For the same reason, wage increases to try and bring people's spending power back to what it was cause further inflation - this is why central banks are worried about a wage-price spiral but the idea of a profit-price spiral is just populist nonsense.

This is learning the wrong lesson from broken windows / TANSTAAFLing yourself into thinking "all spending has the same ROI and it's never positive."

Private companies will only do things that accrue economic gains to themselves instead of returning those economic gains across the population as a whole.

Right, but there's no actual measurement being done, nor it could be done, unless there was some guy there measuring the separation with calipers or something.

So what's the point, simply to practically demonstrate that less distance = more radiation? I guess that makes some sense, but it seems too trivial of a thing to demonstrate to people in a high level, secret operation.

I'm just imagining that for this to actually produce some sort of useful result there needs to be some sort of precise measuring happening. Maybe moving half the sphere with a screw and having a dial indicator there, or something.
A first requirement for direct-to-main development is that you can be reasonably sure your code will not break the CI build otherwise you'll ensure perpetually broken builds and a process many times slower than PR:s.

Because that’s what PRs are mostly: validation that they won’t break the build on main. Reviews aren’t strictly necessary but compiling is.

In some small project you might be able to run compile/test as part of a commit hook but for a situation where builds might take several hours or the developer can’t test all platforms that CI will, then it’s only possible to keep a green main by validation. In that scenario reviews wouldn’t be the limiting factor either.
This is what capitalism does. Crossing borders might make things easier because laws and the cost of doing business will vary, but using your power to squeeze every cent you possibly can out of your business partners is a function of capitalism and not globalism.
Well, for example, our national politicans have delayed a plan to clean our waters (that are almost all polluted to a level illegal under EU law) until 2063. They are clearly not representing the people even on non partisan issues.
This is why I prefer "loosely scripted vacations". I might have one or two destinations/activities planned in advance but always try to leave some days/times open if possible to explore the unknown. Sometimes this means not even booking a hotel for some nights and deciding where to go/stay the same day.
It's funny, I was just chatting with a friend at brunch today about this thread, and he mentioned the same thing. Turns out we both do keep a dedicated box of extra house parts for this reason. There are indeed things that aren't easily replaced and it can make sense to keep. But if you're going to do that, you want to make sure there's a system so you can find them if you do end up needing them, and also so you don't end up with crap you don't need taking up space.

It is 100% resilient short of your hard drive going through a microwave. It is almost definitely an application logic error if you are observing non-atomicity. What would non-atomicity even look like here? Only some columns being written?
Sure, it's extremely common. And it results in higher costs for consumers than the ideal view of an invisible hand would any time sufficient forces other than price are in the equation (advertising, regulation, brand loyalty, incumbency advantages, etc).

Is that abusive to the customer? Let's say it isn't. It can still cause problems, in various subtle ways.

If we come back to this inflation scenario: agencies and governments are currently debating what interventions to take. Depending on the root cause, they'll pick different things. If something like "companies taking advantage of herd behavior and shocks to the system to raise prices even more than is necessary based on underlying factors" is completely ignored, the prescription will focus more harshly on those underlying factors and quite likely cause more total harm than is necessary (by, say, tightening up money to the point of causing much more unemployment than would be needed if we had a knob to turn on corporate price rises).

The Open Buddhist University
I first heard it from the military, where training seeks to recreate the stressful fast-pace conditions of an actual battle or war.

Years later I started hearing it in business too, as if management circles thought it would be useful in increasing production rates. Not accounting for the fact that levels of urgency similar to military training may not be sustainable in peacetime, and result in workforce burnout and other problems.

A better alternative I’ve seen in high-impact academic research groups is “focus”, rather than urgency. Focused effort produces research results, and can even be energizing rather than draining and burnout inducing. I would hope business circles would adopt that academic approach rather than the military one.

Compromise is reached in quiet, safe places. Politicians make bombastic statements for their base and donors, and then go behind closed doors to negotiate. You can't negotiate in earnest if every offer for compromise you put forward immediately results in (a) the losers of that compromise creating a ruckus and (b) your opponent using (a) to weaken you.

Public negotiations reward playing to the audience. (You see this in small groups–letting leaders or the people in a friend group who disagree pull aside almost always solves the problem better than litigating it as a group.) If every conversation might be recorded for replaying to a third party, then every conversation will be treated as an open one. That destroys room for compromise.

OK, now assuming I have read them, and I probably won't but assume I do: why should they be banned? Tell me exactly why parents shouldn't be on the hook to track what their kids read and talk with them about what they believe? Why is information like this dangerous? What danger does it pose to society that gay people and transgender people exist? What danger does information about sex pose to a child?

Then, once you answered that, tell me why I shouldn't ban Catholic churches from my community because of the perceived risk of pedophilia loving sexual pervert priests? (note: I don't believe we should ban churches, but at least I can show evidence of a threat)

My point here is that information is not dangerous and should not be banned or kept behind a locked door. That's how we end up with powerful interests controlling us.

Hey,

We're excited to introduce CodeMorph, a new tool that uses AI to translate code between programming languages. Our goal with CodeMorph is to help developers and teams to be more productive and versatile, enabling them to easily transition between projects involving different languages.

Here's how it works: You input your source code and select your target language. CodeMorph then uses its underlying AI model to generate the equivalent code in the target language, while retaining the logic and structure of the original code.

CodeMorph supports a wide range of popular programming languages, including but not limited to Python, Java, JavaScript, C++, and Ruby. We've focused on ensuring that the translations are accurate, readable, and idiomatic, providing code that looks like it was written by a human in the target language.

We believe CodeMorph can be a game-changer for:

Developers working on multi-language projects or transitioning between languages.
Teams wanting to port their codebase to a different language.
Educators and learners looking to understand equivalent code structures across different languages.
While we're proud of what CodeMorph can do right now, we're keen on making it even better. We'd love to hear your feedback, suggestions, and questions. You're also invited to try it out and let us know what you think.

You can check it out at: codemorph.app

Looking forward to your feedback!

"HN-stupid"

Anything known to be wrong with 20/20 hindsight.
The law is almost a moving target, based on the whims of the current political zeitgeist and public opinion.

And law isn't binary, yes/no. Much US law is very murky and ambiguous. It takes litigation and court action to actually figure out what the poorly worded laws mean. Congress is really bad at creating law for some reason.
> This is a big part of why I don't use social media beyond HN and Reddit (if those count). Being inundated with a constant stream of notifications is not only distracting, it makes me feel less in control of my mind, and therefore, my life.

I’ve been using social media apps for years with notifications disabled. I switched phones recently and notifications got re-enabled. The deluge of useless notifications was terrifying.

I routinely go through my day’s notifications and disallow notifications from apps that I don’t want to see. It doesn’t take long to clean them up and it makes a huge difference.

Unfortunately, my worst offenders are Slack and work-related pings by a mile. It only takes a few busybodies to rain notifications down on the team all day long.

You seem to be referring to zero-party consent, which yes HN would tend not to want.

Munich was bad and is to this day a touchstone of failure of character in the West (indeed, one of the ways those proposing capitulation to Russian purported annexation of parts of Ukraine as the cost of peace are mocked is comparing their stand to Munich).
