I think the main reason for disabling color output is the programmatic use of the output. It is easy to remove color within pipes (c.f. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17998978/removing-colors...), however quite cumbersome to clean the output of each potential program just to make sure nothing breaks.

I guess the terminal should not start putting hands into this game since stdout is generally assumed to be binary (not even text).

That is such a b.s. metric! What exactly does that 2.5year translate to? Absolutley nothing! If not a single person can take advantage of it then you're just doing a bunch of busy work.

Yes it does. I think what you meant is how some $bigcorp will save money,but even then , how?

I also dislike how you attempted to interpret OP's intentions. Just freaking give a real world example and that'll shut up anyone who can argue against your view point.
Aside from this, perhaps another reason why the first part of the movie looks and feels more promising than the second one is more trivial. As far as I know they experienced a budget shortage at some point of production.

[Sigh.] Most parents understand that there's a broad range of ages where a kid is either a bit fuzzy on the concept of "truth", or reflexively lies in certain situations ("Billy broke the vase!"), or can invent fairly elaborate lies for various reasons (avoid punishment, impress other kids, bored bullsh*tting).

Even assuming a nonzero risk of death via annual checkup (however close to zero that may approach), I'd still be hard-pressed to believe that that causes anywhere near as many deaths as it prevents. For every person who contracts pneumonia in the waiting room and dies(?) there have to be at least two people who get a hypertension diagnosis and go on meds that prevent an early heart attack. Probably a lot more than two.

In terms of the insurance industry at least, California isn’t too far out of the ordinary compared in terms of bureaucracy and red tape (especially compared to, say, some eastern states with powerful and aggressive regulators such as NY or MA).

Of course, the judicial environment is separate from the regulatory apparatus, and it seems eminently plausible that CA courts are much more willing to protect consumers from bad faith claims practices, etc.

That all being said, catastrophic[1] wilfdire claims are a huge problem in the P&C insurance industry because they make the actuarial math much more difficult, and CA has had quite a few over the past couple years. Where I live in CO, none of the well-known insurers will, as a rule, write home policies in the mountain regions for similar reasons in spite of the relatively friendly regulatory environment.

> It's important to remember that they invaded Ukraine for no reason,

That's extremely reductive. The situation is a bit more complex than that. I don't think they were right to invade -- not remotely -- I think it's abhorrent. But there is a little more historical context with the US and other regional tensions than Putin rolling a 1D6 and deciding that meant "hey, I'm bored, let's invade".
For any new programs I make that involve terminal, I'm going to make them respect NO_COLOR as it seems pretty trivial.

> "If your software outputs color by default, please consider not doing so."

I'd love to hear good reasoning why using color by default is bad. I can think of some arguments for doing so but the website is not elaborating. E.g. default color choices assume dark terminal or they are not modifiable or developers in general tend to do a bad job at it or something along those lines etc.

I think color can make reading faster and easier, it's why syntax highlighting exists.

React native and all these similar DSLs always seemed like a bad idea to me. I can forgive it on the web as you have no other choice than to use the 3 broken pillars which is html, css, and js and build your sand castles on top of that.

I wonder though, was the development of swift UI influenced by the abundance of react developers or is this what peak UI development looks like?. In the history of GUI applications does react represent the best we have managed to come up with?. I've used it as to me it kinda sucks but I have never worked on the UI side of anything except for small web frontends

I always just assumed that in the 40+ years there were some better UI libraries but apparently not?.
I think there are a two reasons the US is worse.

1. Scale, a lot of countries are closer to a city state than the size of the US government. State governments are run poorly for different reasons having to do with our political system. Yeah Luxembourg and Singapore are run really well but India and china aren't.

2. No political party is interested in fixing efficiency. The Democrats ignore it because they don't want to bring attention to government inefficiency/corruption issues. The Republicans want government to be as inefficient as possible so we are incentivized to get rid of it.
Ok. will look into scripting plugins then for now, probably bridging some introspected interfaces. Would be nice if one could add/integrate existing JS libs but that's outside the Unity context.

> Working on such shared code is also pretty stressful. In a pure native codebase I can simply make the change and test it, but with shared code I have to worry about consequences across many platforms - did I just fix something on one platform only to introduce an issue on another?

the other big one is the code → write → test → deploy scenario is extremely slow to the point of extreme frustration (at least for kotlin multiplatform anyways) with these kinds of tools
Under most insurance plans you also can't see a specialist unless your primary care doctor writes you a referral. If nothing else the Free Annual Checkup is a way to get a referral without incurring additional primary care copays. (If you have a PPO, that's not a problem, but you're paying higher premiums to compensate.)
Just hoping that everything in fridge doesn't spoil until billing resets at midnight? That doesn't sound like a gamble most people would be willing to make, especially on a regular basis.

> we should judge a thing to be a duck or not, based on it having the external appereance and outward activity of a duck, and ignoring any further subleties, intent, internal processes, qualia, and so on.

and the point here is we should not ignore further subtleties, intent, internal process, qualia, etc because they are extremely relevant to the issue at hand.

Treating GPT like a malevolent actor that tells intentional lies is no more correct than treating it like a friendly god that wants to help you.

GPT is incapable of wanting or intending anything, and it's a mistake to treat it like it does. We do care how it got to produce incorrect information.

If you have a robot duck that walks like a duck and quacks like a duck and you dust off your hands and say "whelp that settles it, it's definitely a duck" then you're going to have a bad time waiting for it to lay an egg.

So this is also when those painters were doing plen-air painting (outdoor in the moment painting).

It doesn't. There is an option to log in anonymously, which uses one of several dozen "dummy" accounts operated by Aurora maintainers to sign in. As of late these dummy accounts have been getting rate limited, leading to anonymous aurora sessions not working as expected.

A commonly suggested workaround is creating your own personal dummy account used for nothing but signing into Aurora. Google first rate limiting Aurora's dummy accounts and then beginning to instaban personal dummy accounts is significant because it represents an escalation in their efforts to force all Android users into proprietary walled gardens (Play store).

Clojure still uses S expressions, it just has more than just lists available. Square brackets don't make lists, they make vectors. Commas are always optional. I don't know what you mean by "arbitrary lists where pairs which belong together aren't grouped", but maybe you mean maps or sets, which are also not lists but a different data type.

user=> (type [])
clojure.lang.PersistentVector
user=> (type '()) ; gotta quote the list
clojure.lang.PersistentList$EmptyList
user=> (type {})
clojure.lang.PersistentArrayMap
user=> (type #{})
clojure.lang.PersistentHashSet

Different data types are used for different things. Vectors have more natural insertion behavior, so most people use them where that might happen.

user=> (conj '(1) 2)
(2 1)
user=> (conj [1] 2)
[1 2]
I havent work in the P&C industry for many years so I have no special knowledge here, but given the past half decade of CA wildfire seasons and what the climate scientists have to say about what’s coming down the line, it seems pretty plausible that the catastrophe modeling for CA fire risk looks similar to FL’s hurricane risk.
Most people deny the clear and obvious bias (left / democrat) in corporate media. Just like most people denied the clear and obvious left bias in pre-elon twitter.

This then manifests in charging Post-Elon twitter with Right wing Bias because if Pre-Elon Twitter was "neutral" (it was not), Elon moving twitter slightly to the right means it now Right wing ...

Personally I think Elon is centrist, agreeing with some Right wing policies, and some left wing policies, but clearly has a personal bias which is reflected in the policy choices of twitter, too much so IMO.

That said most often when I engage on this subject I am faced with people that have the position that CNN, MSNBC, and NY Times, Washington Post, and other corp media are not organizationally biased, and that Pre-Elon Twitter was a neutral platform, so the hypocrisy of that position is what I challenge.
On one hand we have insurances are regulated, but on the other hand we postpone brush clearings and don't do controlled burns.

The trick is, you need two LLMs, one which always lies, and one which always tells the truth. Then you ask either LLM whether the other LLM would say it's reliable.

Literally the top of the article you'll see wildfires and rapidly growing construction costs as the major factors.

Try finding a licensed contractor on your own, most won't get out of bed for anything under six figures even if you're okay with unpermitted work.

OP here. UI state lives in the GUI code. For a GUI toolkit like SwiftUI, that's quite important ergonomically.

I'm unsure how to really describe how the "bridge" code looks. All GUI interaction code happens in Swift, and when buttons are pressed and so on, I call functions back into Zig, and so on.

There are certain scenarios where my Zig code calls back into Swift (via function pointers provided). For example, requesting to quit the application. These are handled using NSNotificationCenter accordingly.

As I stated in the post, my cross-platform layer is >90% of my lines of code, and this isn't a trivial program, so for my use case this is working great.
I don't know if this advice is for yhe only, or it's for companies that won't go after you for small fees.

Otherwise there's always recourses for a company to recover the fees that were due and couldn't charge through your credit card. You'd then have to dispute a court order to recover it from your employer for instance. You can of course battle it then, but it's a lot more hassle than to have the charge disputed in the first place (the dispute goes back to the company, who has to prove their point)
> They had every opportunity to improve the situation by having the nation guard present.

I would assume that the circumstances around the deployment of National Guard are being looked at, also. The article didn't comment on this, they were talking about satellite phones. And satellite phones would still be useful in situations, such as what happened January 6, even if the national guard were present.
There’s a huge influx of new HN users. Like, a massive spike over the last few months. I don’t think it’s worth worrying about voting patterns until they’ve had time to steep in HN’s culture. I’ve noticed similar fluctuations in pretty much anything remotely controversial I’ve posted.

The more alarming aspect was the shrillness of replies, which seem to generally go unchallenged. I don’t like the idea that people think HN is for loudness. But thankfully that seems to be a minor fluctuation.

The sibling reply from Freedom2 is right too — your comment (other than the downvote complaints, which I know is hard to resist) generated some good discussion.

(joking) maybe they fed the LLM some postmodern text, so it got some notion of relativism and post structuralism...

But no, LLM's make things up, and it's a known problem and it is called 'hallucination'. even wikipedia says so: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hallucination_(artificial_inte...

The machine currently does not have it's own model of reality to check against, it is just a statistical process that is predicting the most likely next word, errors creep in and it goes astray (which happens a lot)

Interesting that researchers are working to correct the problem: see interviews with Yoshua Bengio https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5xsDMJMdwo and Yann LeCun https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBjPyte2ZZo

Interesting that both scientist are speaking about machine learning based models for this verification process. Now these are also statistical processes, therefore errors may also creep in with this approach...

Amusing analogy: the Androids in "Do Androids dream of electric sheep" by Philip K Dick also make things up, just like an LLM. The book calls this "false memories"

Also Switzerland (or Scandinavia for that matter) which pays similar to the US for tech jobs. Even academic jobs here pay exceptionally well compared to anywhere else in Europe. Starting salary for a good data scientist role (requiring some domain expertise) here is close to 100k CHF (not including Big Tech who can easily pay 1.5x more). Cost of living is high, but frankly London is comparable in terms of rent nowadays if you consider like-for-like (i.e. centre of the city, short commute).
