When I was experiencing symptoms of depression while I was studying in the US I made an appointment at the campus health services and got a few weekly counseling sessions for a while. It was nice and helpful.
That is kind of correct.
There hasn't been a Thunderbird Android client, really. Since last year [1], K-9 became under the umbrella of Thunderbird. But before it was a completely separare and independent project that had nothing to do with Thunderbird.

> virtually no possibility of starting a startup ... without connections in your customers or investors.

I feel this frustration is strongest with enterprise software which is usually the most capital intensive to build and requires a lot of trust to sell.

The number of people who get to make decisions about, for example, data warehousing services is already pretty small and the subset of those willing to be somebody's first customer is even smaller.

However, there are plenty of other startup opportunities outside of that space. Consumers, media people and developers are generally easier to chat with than CIOs and still need software to do what they want to do.

I am not very familiar with Rust, but I thought it permits full control over memory?

Are there any ideas out there that could not be easily overtaken by Google or similar?
Esoteric knowledge is something accessible to a limited number of people. As an academic researcher, many details of my work are esoteric in this sense, as there are not that many people in the world working on anything closely related. Similarly, the internal workings of an established organization often involve esoteric knowledge. Traditions emerge over time, many things are never fully documented, and people outside the organization generally have no idea what's going on.

In contrast, stack canaries are potentially relevant to a large number of developers. They are also accessible: many developers should be able to figure out the details on their own once they have heard of the idea.
Railroad Tycoon 2 definitively had multiplayer support.
One big plus for IUP over wxWidgets is that API of IUP is very clean & easy to use compared to the complex C++ API of wxWidgets.
The tips are forcefully suggested to offset the cost of the order processing service.

These apps often take a 10%+ cut from every order. Which makes it hard to sell to a restaurant. If I pre-select 10% tip, most people will pay it making the app basically free and a no-brainer for the restaurant.

I think it should be communicated better, but this is how I've seen it work.
I'd argue that SSR is somewhat orthogonal to React or VanJS. I don't see preliminary reasons to suspect that VanJS will be unable to plug into meta frameworks and eventually get SSR.

I've gone through quite a few of these at random, for this and another comment on this page, and this one is the first one that is even close to an outstanding bug, and it's only open because the pull request that fixed the problem back in 2020 hasn't been merged yet.

It is personal.

I've had 18 months working on a project where code reviews were going badly wrong so my perspective might be a little different than it was before this and maybe needs some realigning, but your PRs probably aren't anonymous and reviewers absolutely do change their comments depending on who the submitter is.

If they're genuinely constructive comments made in good faith by a warm and open reviewer prepared to take the time to help you address them, I don't tend to find people take them badly. If that's what's really happening then maybe some retrospection is in order. Your code isn't you, it can be changed and improved and once committed it isn't yours alone if it even was before then.

Reviews inherently revolve around social dynamics, personal relationships every bit as much as a dispassionate, logical view of code. As such, they're fraught with difficulties.

Quite. Then there is the question, is the cardinality of the continuum the first cardinality bigger than the cardinality of the naturals?

It turns out the 'continuum hypothesis' can be true or it can be false. Neither contradicts standard ZFC set theory: the hypothesis is 'independent'.
A space can be typed quite easily, while a backspace cannot.

I remember in Berlin back around 2004 that all the expat Americans were always online, and most of the Germans simply weren't. The things we knew about and talked about were different. Many people I knew didn't have broadband. We didn't have a shared culture.

Now everybody has phones and we are all feeding from the same spigots. Kids grew up like this.

I do think this has resulted in significant Americanization of German culture.
I wish ovens had that kind of precision, though.

From observation, what you get in a household oven is a bang-bang controller flipping a heater on and off, trying to keep the temperature within a rather wide window around the set point, as measured at location that is not close to the food you're baking. Between humidity of the product, humidity of the environment, and built-in "eco features" in the oven, this will make the baking process be all over the place.

Oh, and the timers that come built into the ovens and induction stoves? They tend to go slow or fast around a minute over ten minutes, or worse.

Whatever baking has, it's not precision. Even your basic DIY overflow soldering oven is better, because it at least gives you control over temperature curve and visibility into the process. I'm yet to see a household oven that tells you what the current temperature inside it is.
I personally like this Socratic approach, but if person A kept avoiding giving answers constantly, even if it’s clear that the other interlocutor is getting frustrated by this approach, then, to me, it means that person A is not able to give any answer in that domain and they think that their job can be done by a chatbot and by following an inflexible approach.

Shouldn't it be that the US is putting that entirely at risk as well by denying Chinese companies from being able to use the fabs that are created in what China considers its own province?

The best way is actually to turn the tables around and learn how to give other people feedback in a way that is effective. There are plenty of coaching and other courses you can do that can teach you some good techniques that you can apply.

A useful side effect of knowing how this stuff works is recognizing when others are being ineffective and clumsy. Lots of engineers are a bit deficient with their soft skills. And recognizing when people are shooting themselves in their feet by being passive aggressive, rude, or otherwise causing a lot of issues in day to day communications can help you distance yourself from those situations.

I don't think it is orthogonal. The US can pretty reliably shoot down ICBMs. Not perfectly, but well enough at this point that if in some extreme scenario Russia actually did launch a barrage of nuclear ICBMs, it wouldn't necessarily mean total destruction. If they can defeat the interceptors though, the risk of annihilation is greater. And it does seem smart to me to put significant effort into combating even small risks of annihilation. IE, don't rely on the second strike deterrent alone, as that may not be foolproof. (History shows it's come close before, plus you could imagine scenarios with an unstable and/or suicidal foreign leader with nothing left to lose.)
I took project management lessons, it made me realized that a lot of things that goes wrong is systemic (knowledge transfer not done correctly, review processes not implemented correctly, timelines not well managed that leads almost mechanically to more bugs,... etc).
I believe the vaccines killed a lot of people, not just J&J

https://wherearethenumbers.substack.com/p/the-devils-advocat...

My link above was about #ECMOGATE. The claim is that doctors were literally killing the unvaccinated by giving them different treatment plans that lead to more death.
That's only true if you have a very surface level understand of law and how it attempts to solve real-world problems.

It's nice to say "all speech should be free!" in theory but then, when faced with a situation where a mob boss says "please go kill that person" or ringleader whips up a mob into a riot. Should a judge just say "well, he was just exercising his First Amendment rights!" and ensure no consequences befall that person?

A person enters my home and says things I find offensive. Should the First Amendment prevent me from removing that person from my home for that reason?

I decide to leak trade secrets of my employer for profit. Should the First Amendment protect me from being fired and sued for this?
I agree with you on that a good integrator can get successful, but we should not forget here that the underlying code running all of this is in the order of hundreds of lines (see alpaca.cpp for example) in combination with a boatload of money required for training (that is quickly going down), to simplify the argument a bit.

It's hardly comparable to the gigantic ecosystem of services and micro-services that your comparison alludes to with IBM and Microsoft. OpenAI is nowhere near such a brand recognition, and grassroots support for it within a company would quickly move to the next free chatgpt-clone that is better or cheaper or faster or more accessible just as what happened with Dalle-2.

The value of the models themselves will quickly come down to just a slight bit over the underlying hardware costs and Altman knows this.

Microsoft bought themselves a $10B time window to try to do what you're saying, so let's see :) But even for them, when they've built LLM-adaptations to their most popular products, it's fairly simple to just swap it out with something new and more shiny and cheaper that's not OpenAI, and the end customer won't notice as it's the Microsoft or Office brand that they buy into. They are not going to advertise what's inside their products with big banners "Powered by OpenAI" in the long run, I think (do they now?)

Denying that a targeted genocide happened or saying it's exaggerated is absolutely hateful. I'm not sure how it's of limited relevance when it's within living memory. When (some) Americans start to chant "The Jews will not replace us!" I think it's very relevant to our modern era.

I would really recommend doing a cursory, bare-minimum reading of the associated Wikipedia page [0] and citations. Plenty of historians revise the events surrounding the Holocaust to provide less biased and more nuanced information. Very different from taking an assumption as fact (the holocaust did not happen) and working backwards from that.

Not a hard rule at all. What I meant, is that I don't apologize up front for making a mistake in my own work, for "writing code that does not work" or other things which could be interpreted as being the result of my lack of skill in my work, making mistakes is part of it, and fixing mistakes are too.

I will be the first to apologize for messing up something for someone else, or giving bad advice, or for taking a decision which lead other people down a wrong path.
I'll also apologize, as soon as possible, and in front of others if they're there, if I said something that could be misunderstood or sounded harsh or brash. (Though, that really does not happen very often at all).
I believe in modesty and dignity, and apologizing is part of that.
"Still thinking about how to proceed"

Try to find someone very powerful, or very rich, who has a son or a daughter with the same disease. Then convince that person to spend some energy in public awareness and lobbying.

>Now, not everyone accepted this idea even at the time, but surely the argument is much less plausible for an LLM which is likely exposed to more training data than even an adult human.

Yes indeed. Of course this doesn't show that Chomsky was wrong about humans. In any case, I've seen no evidence that current LLMs successfully learn the kinds of constraints I was talking about.

Sorry, my bad: the devs weren't actually mad about this, the journalist writing about it was. In another article[0] the devs state:

Progress in a purely capitalistic sense, maybe—but in terms of human knowledge and innovation in technology, absolutely not.

Besides, in the same way that being an engineer with no people skills isn’t a desirable thing, there are plenty of problems with knowing one’s business domain only at the surface-level:

1. It’s always these types of people who end up pushing for unrealistic, and many times, senseless engineering goals from management positions so that they waste a lot of the company’s time and money just by existing in it.

2. It’s these types of people who prioritize profits at all costs, even if it could endanger a customer’s life or data security.

3. These types of people are very easily replaceable, because people are by default not inclined to learn about the world around them, and hence they’re dime a dozen.
Not so much, there is plenty of other type of speech that is protected by the first amendment and is illegal in countries that don't have such thing in their constitution. For exemple, in France, saying "Macron is trash" can get you to jail (https://rmc.bfmtv.com/actualites/police-justice/insultes-con..., https://www.lepoint.fr/societe/une-quinquagenaire-jugee-pour...)
IUP has been around for ages and is usually used as a lightweight alternative to wxWidgets and Qt when you want native widgets. It has a stringy interface and the fully stylable non-native widgets starting with "Flat" in the name are a bit quirky, but it's overall very stable and has proved its usefulness over time. IUP often has bindings to languages when wxWidgets has not and Qt would be too bloated.

Depends on what you mean. The past is a different country; they do things differently there. Judging attitudes of the ancients from our current situation may lead to self-deception.

At least some people grow callous in face of ubiquitous dangers. Otherwise people would not be able to fight in wars or survive in pre-modern cities where mortality from diseases now considered banal was actually comparable to a constant low-intensity war.

A lot of ancient societies did not even consider infants as people until they reached certain age, precisely because their chance of death was too high. If you experience something 7 or 10 times and most other people around you do as well, you will get used to it. We are just built that way. It sounds horrible to a modern person and may attract some downvotes, but premature death was omnipresent and, as such, probably less of a tragedy than today.

Looking at the old folk songs etc., their lyrics often do mention happy/unhappy love, or complicated relations with parents or the nobility, but rarely deaths in the family. If someone's death is mentioned in a folk song, it is often a young soldier - a valuable person (strong, suitable for agricultural tasks) whose life was unnecessarily wasted.

Plus, the societies back then were way more religious than today, and eternal life was considered a given. This is yet another thing we mostly cannot fathom today, especially hard-core engineering skeptics here on the HN, but people in the past really did believe their own religion and it helped them with their grief.

If someone spots one of my momentary lapses of brain, they've done us both a favour. If they know a better way to do whatever we're trying to achieve, great.

I use a combination of Tailscale and Nord Meshnet on Raspberry Pis that I have set up at my home and family home in different countries as my personal VPN. Home country does not have a good relationship with VPNs and the commercial VPN services discontinued their servers there.

Indeed I am wary of rewrite from apache days.

So using a subdomain should solve routing issues - api.myproject.myorg.org instead of myproject.myorg.org/api ?

Two issues - my wildcard cert is *.myorg.org so not 100% it would cover subdomains of subdomains.

Second issue - you'd need to set up DNS for subdomain of subdomain, would you not?

Sadly DNS setup would require opening an uncertain to complete support ticket in myorg...
No, they don't prevent anything. In theory, they are to help find a child that has already been abducted and they think is in immediate danger. Being abducted, by itself, isn't enough to get an alert.

And IIRC, they don't do that very well. It isn't a system that is standardized across the US and some places cut down on the number of alerts because it causes distracted drivers (which cause accidents and whatnot) and the public has started to tune them out. On top of this, brains are flawed, and aren't always good at "look for this stranger for 5 minutes while driving and hearing your child cry".
