I was initially deterred. But in practice, when using it for professional purposes, I never encounter it.

Your coding speed is unlikely to be that fast, requiring 25 code segments in 3 hours. GPT-4 outputs something, you need time to double check, test, additional googling etc. Its still a massive speed boost.

Using it recreationally (Especially chatting) will result in a lot more requests.
Funny things: US pushing data localization. The pot calling the kettle black.
Unlikely and irrelevant.

Unlikely: Organ donor is only an option in some circumstances. It's more typical with young people and accidents than elderly. There's no age cut-off, but for example:

1) The organs need to be fresh (e.g. you died in the ER).

2) The organs need to be in good shape (e.g. not sick)

Irrelevant: It doesn't solve the fundamental question of values and ethics. I am against actively taking a life, including my own. I am not against putting my life at risk, especially for a good cause.
I generally like feeling spouting off in the reflection that comes from it. I wouldn't want to put words, but I can see some individuals claiming a human right to work from home as an example of moral hypocrisy. That's sad, of course I don't work from home as a mutual agreement between consenting adults has any moral questions
That's great to hear. Good luck!
How much does iron clad cost, what's the 80-20 of its use for you?

If you can predict boom and bust cycles you can become very rich trading on the stock market.
> Google is already forced to judge the case. If someone fills enough bogus cases (bogus in Googles opinion) or a ridiculous one they (google) can stop processing them

Google can already do that if it judges that the risk that the complsinant has a legitimate case is low enough that they don't need a safe harbor against them. The only consequence for not honoring a takedown is that if you would have been liable to the company's for copyright infringement before considering the DMCA safe harbor, you don't eliminate that liability.
I guess Arch Linux is a lot saner, they just have one place to change things: the configuration files; and that one place is well documented and there's no magic going on. No weird settings panels that try to be smart.
Hang out on Lake Union sometime in the summer. Boats everywhere, and seaplanes everywhere dodging them while they land and take off.

Near as I can tell as a boat driver your job is to stay very, very predictable while the planes weave around everything. Those pilots are good. ;)

It's pretty fun for people to see a float plane zipping by at 80mph, 20 feet away, while it's taking off.
I'd love to see this in Lake Michigan doing a route from Milwaukee through Chicago and all the way up to Traverse City, with stops at all the cool little towns on the Michigan lakefront along the way. Probably not viable as a year-round thing around here but it could be great fun in the summer.
I have a friend who was hired in 2019, moved to a city with Amazon office and then moved back in 2021 while keeping his job. He still works at Amazon and is fully remote indefinitely. From what he had told me, this is only impacting those who work within commuting distance of an Amazon office. Those who were hired as remote employees or relocated during pandemic years were pretty much grandfathered into fully remote roles.
You tell that to car manufacturers in Detroit.
Color matching seems hard, I almost think it is worth making the distinction clear and not even trying if you have different materials. I've watched my girlfriend hunt down matching dye lots of yarns to finish gifts when she runs out too early.

I bought 2 pairs of the same shorts a couple years ago, one in blue and one in olive. Both were used almost interchangeably in terms of exposure to sun, dirt, washing, and salt water. But on the green ones a section of the waistband is clearly differently colored where on the blue the colors still match.
If efficiency gains were the secret go (infinite) growth, then companies would be able to grow their business without growing their workforce, building more factories, warehouses, etc.
I was going to say the same thing, we’ll all be YELLING OUT SQL to our mic terminals and syntactically backtracking from the expressiveness and imprecision of our dynamic typed languages of choice.
There will definitely be deals where the standard agreements don't cover every term that is important to the parties involved. We have a few ways to address the kinds of nuances you're talking about.

The variables in the cover page are intended to handle the things that vary from deal to deal in most commercial software transactions. Those are basically the selectable boxes you referred to (or blanks to be filled in, etc).

For things not captured by those variables, there's a section on the bottom of the cover page called "Other changes to the standard terms." Users often choose an entry from the Language Library for that section, but they (or their attorneys) can write their own custom assignment language or whatever other specific term they need.

If there are a small number of edits in the "Other changes" section, it can be helpful to know that all of your agreements have their unusual elements in the same section. On the other hand, if a company or their attorney consistently needs to make a large number of edits in that section, it might be a sign that the standard contracts are not a fit for them.

When that does happen, we'd love to hear about it. That sort of thing is very helpful for us in thinking about what we can improve in future versions.
Working in a separate place than your home is a recent concept - humanity has worked from home far longer than in offices or workplaces. Consider farming, or craftspeople working their trade, as well as nomadic cultures.

In what way is WFH 'unnatural'?
we had ad blockers installed 10 years ago too...
5 homes is likely rare, but I don't think 2 is extremely uncommon. Like vacation home where family might spend summer or working at different city than where family and coming home for weekends. In Finland over 10% of people have a cabin and in average they spend 79 days of the year there (https://suomenkuvalehti.fi/kotimaa/yli-puoli-miljoonaa-kesam...) though I'm not sure how common it's to have electricity these days.
Depends on the price. All electric means we operate for about half the cost of an aircraft (and about 1/10th of a helicopter). Combine that with similar speeds to aircraft, convenience of not having to use an airport, and zero emissions - and the use case becomes very attractive.

We have some prospective customers eyeing Catalina, but that's actually on the short end of our range at ~25 miles vs our 180 mile max.

Shuttle service to SD and SB is very much in the cards - and we can do it with existing battery tech!
There's literally zero work with Caddy. I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to say.

Also, there's massive advantages to having TLS issuance built into the webserver, such as proper OCSP stapling, having an active process to trigger renewals as soon as a revocation happens (hearing about it via OCSP), solving the ACME TLS-ALPN challenge without extra steps, and unique features like On-Demand TLS that many SaaS companies are relying on to provide a custom domains feature to their customers. None of those things are possible unless it's tightly integrated in the webserver.
Not at all. It seems they suspended it because of neverending lawsuits regarding environmental impact. Chopping up whales was apparently a big concern, so I suppose a ground effect service might alleviate some of those concerns(just kidding, I'm sure the environmental lawsuits were really just about control and not a genuine care for the environment)
It's obviously not true as a generalization. If your job is bolting together cars, you can't work from home effectively. There might be some individuals and job classes that can do it effectively
Since you're such a massive lightnight fan, can you answer something very quickly for me?

Imagine Bitcoin gets very popular, so much so that 10% of the world is using it. They all will at least need to open a lightnight channel, and then settle that channel back to Bitcoin. What is the minimum number of Bitcoin transactions needed, and how long would it take to settle all those transactions? For this exercise, assume world population stays fixed at current levels.

(For those not so drunk on the cool aid, it's 6 years. 6 years minimum to settle one meaningful transaction for any reasonable number of people.)
Having run a small business for some years, refusal to pay an uncontested debt is (very unfortunately) a routine part of business and negotiation. It's a very ugly part, but creates a bit of a prisoner's dilemma where you wonder if you're the only sucker paying debts on time and in full.
I think it would also be a reasonable accommodation to just cut the SWE’s salaries down to 10% below the lowest end salary of the manufacturing workers who have to be in person to do their job and let the SWEs do their job remote.

But I expect that may not be a popular opinion here on HN, though.
"My advice for developers has been to write comments before writing the code."
Haha yeah, however in our experience thus far, quite a number of developers really only explain their intentions verbally so nothing ever makes it into the codebase unfortunately. And after a few months, they themselves may not understand why the code was written in a particular manner.

"The issue tho is that most open source code is technical code and code that relies on it serves a business function."
Wow yeah never thought about it in that way before!
I've seen the same in many google pages (which I think is illegal under GDPR).Anyways, I use ublock origin to get rid of that.
I have seen one of these in predating action. It just got hold of a small snail and it was like a scene from a horror movie. It literally devoured that snail with a widening jaw in a few seconds with a very very vicious and relentless attack. Really stuff of nightmares.
High winds and weather systems occasionally effect air travel, but once flying above the water at 10m, you can fly over normal ocean swell conditions. The introduction of the foils is a key for making the seaglider comfortable from the inner harbors to the outer harbor in realistic operation conditions (wind/wave combinations).

Another issue with that is that the systems I was running can go offline at any time. P2P, which could work, kind of wants a lot more uptime than what we had. It would just add some complexity to deal with individual downtime.
This is one of those "let me connect you with our sales team" questions ;)

Isn't it much simpler.

Given that Tech, compared to other industries (Mining, Energy, etc) is still in its early years - most tech companies optimize for Growth.

While more established industries optimize for profitability / stability.

What's happening now in Tech is that companies are beginning to graduate to these later years where they run into natural total address market plateaus where they need to shift from Growth to Profitability/Stability.

(Think Netflix).

And this transition from being a Growth company, to a matured business - is a hard transition for any company.
Why does an employer need to lend anything to union work or organizing? Work resources are usually only for work, not for any other activity.

I'm not implying there's a right or wrong here, just trying to understand the arguments.
Growth doesn't intrinsically have to have anything to do with population or resources. Growth is fundamentally about ingenuity.

If you develop a microchip that delivers the same performance but takes 50% less material and energy and cost to manufacture and use, that's growth. 2x growth in that area, to be precise.

As long as we keep thinking of cleverer ways to do things, we keep growing economically. So it's really whether you think human ingenuity will come to a dead end?

I can't say if they truly care, but they can't a priori DQ you just for that. When I was a hiring manager, it wouldn't have bothered me a bit, assuming the interview went well, it had been a while, they weren't applying for a classified task / job, and their explanation satisfied everyone. It would have been a factor, but not the only factor.

Regardless, you can only apply with your background, so all the usual advice applies: interview well, practice, be confident, be deep, have good stories, questions, and talking points ready. The extra advice for folks with a record (like myself) is to prep a good explanation.

You'll do fine.
I'm not even following this, "Unnatural" ...

Work from Home - Throughout the ages of man, I would tend to believe that more work has been done at home than at any notion of modern workplace. Farming, milling, iron working, etc. have all historically been performed by small tradesmen working out of their homes. "Go to Joe's house if you want your horses shoed."

Home School - Again, I would argue that far more children throughout history are being school at home than in a western notion of traditional school. I would wager that even today, more kids are currently "at home" schooling across the globe than in a modern school.

Interest Rates - Maybe this one is a reasonable notion of "unnatural". But again, throughout all time, bartering has dominated merchant exchanges and simple currency exchanges (through precious metals). There has probably always been a notion of interest rates in all this, but what you're describing is more about the federal reserve's interest rates and fractional banking, which is quite a modern invention.

In all, I don't think anything about work from home, home schooling or making transactions with neighbors is unnatural. If anything, it's the most natural way that society has worked and existed throughout history.

If it’s related to violence or theft I think they would care. If it’s drug possession I don’t think they would care. If it’s selling drugs and you were successful at it then you’re a great fit!

But they definitely own a ton of stock in companies that own real estate. 10 percent of their portfolio is in Bank of America, which has a huge commercial real estate lending portfolio. Berkshire doesn’t need to own CRE directly when they own companies that do CRE.

Commercial real estate is foundational in corporate finance. I guess I just don’t this argument that these huge companies aren’t somehow exposed. I guarantee you that if the CRE market tanks, Berkshire is gonna feel it too.
> but they can't DQ you just for that

This depends entirely on jurisdiction and company policy.
Yeah, if you're going to have 11/4, you gotta have at least one group of three in there. Like, 5/4 is usually 1-2-3 1-2. Hey Ya doesn't have a group of three. It's got a consistent snare backbeat all the way through, so it's always multiples of 2.

Great way to check is count the beats and never let yourself go up to four, and say 1 on the strong beats. Takes a few tries but you'll get to

1-2-3-4 1-2-3-4 1-2-3-4 1-2 1-2-3-4 1-2-3-4

pretty quick with Hey Ya.
I think it'll evolve into the AI Assistant being an always-on/always-available app/service/client (ala Siri/Alexa) coupled with a much more powerful online service. Advantage is that once the client is installed, it has access to practically everything the user is doing (which is what the tech companies dream of) and can actually ingest the inputs without the user having to summarize/translate into a text box (problem with Excel? AI assistant can read the excel sheet that has the issue so you can just ask questions).

I also think that the main two reasons behind Alexa/Siri not seeing very high adoption rates are misinterpretation of the voice commands + quality of results. With LLMs, at least the first issue should improve dramatically and if the popularity of ChatGPT is anything to go by, the second issue should also see improvements.
It will come up during background check. I personally wouldn’t give a shit as long as the person was hard working in a consistent manner.

Didn’t they already pay their “debt to society” by serving whatever their sentence was?
I've gone back over my posts to see if I said anything out of line, and I don't think I did. I'm just being direct; I haven't been nasty, or even snarky (which you were, consistently, in your last response). I am indeed rightfully disturbed by what I see as a greedy, lazy business model that shuts lower-income folks out of the tech world, so the tone's not going to change.

I'm not going to address most of your post, because there honestly is not a lot to reply to: you're just reiterating assertions and—more problematically—insisting I said things I didn't say. I don't think it's the best use of my time to indulge that.

> If you don't think the users who derive value from the app every day, and need it to keep existing, should be the ones who pay for that app to keep existing, well, I don't know what to tell you.

Show me where I said I don't think users should pay for the app to keep existing. I'm fine with paying for app releases. Once per release.

> There are other advantages for consumers too. For instance, you can pay like $20-30 for all Adobe's top-end apps for a month - to try them out or to do a one-off project now and then.

Cool! If it's such an advantage for consumers, I'm all for offering that. Just include a lifetime license as well. If rentware is so beneficial to consumers, then there wouldn't be any problem offering people a choice, correct? Let the market decide.

> But it's clear you think that continuing to make sure software works forever, fielding support issues from customers, making updates for every new OS feature, is "sitting back" and doing nothing

Again: Show me exactly where I said that. I'm getting tired of this; you saw that I said the exact opposite as far as updates. Regarding support, again, I have no problem charging for that. That's a service.

I'm disappointed by this last response of yours. You came off as reasonable initially, but the shift to deliberately misquoting me is not cool. I don't think you should do that; it implies a lot about how confident you are in your reasoning.

Anyway—I suspect the rentware fad will be over in a few years, since everyone hates it and subscription fatigue is still setting in. (Especially if a recession, which I think is coming, makes a lot of folks question why they're paying $50–$100 in subscriptions every month for software they would have owned a few years ago.) The market will settle down to either a hybrid—apps offered under both rentware and lifetime licensing—or simply back to charging a more reasonable one-time amount.

And devs will be fine; they'll just have to treat their businesses as actual businesses, not lifestyle passive-income streams. I'm good with that.
Weirdly Netflix is still the little guy, but they don't appear that way to people. All the other services are from tech giants and the big telecoms (and Disney). I figure this is a move pretty much all of them want to make, but they want to see who blinks first. Netflix can't afford to bleed as much cash. They've tried ramping up the number of productions, and are now attempting to put out fires this way.
Game-changing obesity drugs go mainstream: what scientists are learning
I've played with and implemented a range of area fill algorithms in the past. Optimized span-filling (dating back to the 1990's) works very well, is fast, buffer friendly and delivers great results. Subtleties surface when you have to consider filling around dithered edges and partially transparent elements. Fur stuff.

This is very clever! I found out about the canvas composite modes far too late in an animated ASCII art project.

IMO, the canvas APIs are a little too esoteric for their own good. It’s almost like a stateful object, but all the commands are executed as side effects. Isn’t front end fun?

Please have a look at my project and let me know what you think! The source code is fully annotated for another brave soul who’s working with the dark arts of high performance canvas rendering.

You're totally right that lawyers want to live in Word. In the MVP version of the product, we tried to get everyone into the web app. Some people loved it, but we hit a brick wall whenever someone needed to go to Word.

We've since added native export to Word at every step in the contract lifecycle. One of our most requested features is the ability to easily re-import those Word files back into the same workflow after they've been edited, and we're working on a project right now to make that happen.
I'm travelling for work from time to time as well, having my Chromecast With Google TV ask me to authenticate each time because it doesn't recognize the network as my "home" is inconvenient. Plex doesn't do this, so it wins on that end.
It’s nice when they put it like that. Now imagine you trying to relax or concentrate in your home and hearing a “car door closing”, every minute, regularly, all day. And if in the end it sounds more like the car’s tire blowing up - well… “we are looking at ways to resolve the issue”, “we are aware of the issue and working on it”, “you are the only one complaining”, “it looks you may be too sensitive to noise”, and so on. Who cares in the end. It’s just people.
Also he’s welcome to have his opinions.

Windows has been called many times for bundling software since it hurts other software companies. Which leads to government regulation.

> Sort of like how the SQL syntax seems designed for business admin folks to use, but us programmers ended up using it.

So it seems that a declarative programming language would be a suitable target for LLM to generate.

Maybe someday there would be a popular, shared IR across models, like SQL does to relational database.
