I don't think I've ever seen such a cliff where the database is using the same query plan?
There's sometimes small incremental slow downs as you pass btree depth thresholds and have to add more, but tbh even that's not usually noticeable.

I have seen plenty of instances where the database decides an index is no longer the right access,but gets that wrong, and the result is terrible.. but I see that as a different issue.
How? Korea was a Japanese colony from 1901-1945.

Why would we not argue that the Korean War was an attempt by Koreans aligned with Japan to maintain their colony?

Just a ride sharing app cannot reach the scale and revenue to justify the investments they have attracted. It is not realistic to raise $25+ Billion[1] just to be a pure SaaS startup.

Both Uber and Lyft[2] run rental businesses already, the model works where you can rent a car on a weekly basis just to drive on their apps, they cover maintenance and other services.

Uber will have to find a way to maintain their growth, and Lyft probably will be acquired by a rental network. The result is the same vertical integration.

[1] Uber's equity investment so far. SaaS startups can be valued lot more even $100s of billions, but pure tech companies do not raise that kind of cash. Stripe for example despite its delayed IPOs and ESOP issues has only raised $8B.

[2] They own some of the inventory and rest are from partners I believe.
> This is also why there couldn’t be a good third movie, there’s nowhere natural to go after action.

I felt the third Alien film actually made a pretty good punt at this; it's not a perfect film without its issues, but I rather like it. The "female lands on abandoned prison planet with a bunch of violent criminals" setting was a good direction to go in after the first two films. It would have been better if they had focused more on the prisoners and such and less on the xenomorph running after Ripley (especially in the second half). In spite of the problems, I still like it more than Cameron's Aliens (which was certainly not a bad film, but also suffered from some issues IMO).

A problem with "big franchises" type of movies is that studio people with seemingly no sense of what makes movie great get involved and make things hard for people who want to do anything different that could make a sequel work. "People paid for aliens chasing Ripley in the previously films, so we must have more of that!" I have no problems they're focused on their investment and money, but it never seizes to amaze me how poorly these people sometimes seem to understand their market.
For those who are curious: they provide absolutely nothing in the way of actual data.
The statistics are the best part of criminal justice policy. DNA tests, Blood typing, fingerprint matching all run on statistical analysis. Much better than the memory of a witness.

There is nothing fundamentally wrong with statistics, you just need to maintain an appropriate threshold for where you draw the statistical line.
Tipping Prompts Are Suddenly Everywhere
You said, "Quality dates are a big part of spoilage in the food service industry, so the quality departments in all of these organizations try to min-max the dates to best represent their required quality, and of course their requirements are longevity, palatability and mostly sales.

If an otherwise reputable food retailer begins serving a secondary market with what is definitionally substandard products, it opens a large and murky doorway to liabilities extending far beyond a mere lawsuit. What if the next kitchen mishandles the food and serves gross food to people in need? Even hungry poor people will dislike week old, vinegary tomato slices."

"the food service industry" : that term doesn't seem limited to prepared food retailers, if that's what you meant.

as for "week old, vinegary tomato slices" : Second Harvest, at least, would outright reject those.

Self-driving won't make a difference to this structure though ?

The pitch Tesla (if you believe them) keeps making is we could rent out our cars when we don't use it to the rental networks. We still own the car ( and the liability ) and unlock RoI.
I hate to be generous to Electron apps, but this wasn’t a trend set by them. The squircle thing happened directly in lockstep with macOS setting the expectation. Really good icons, even for Electron apps (VSCode is a prominent example), became indistinguishable practically overnight when the macOS design language was announced.
People forgot about the whole "flattening the curve" thing, and a bunch of narratives cropped up about what the end goal was.

The goals, which were never real, started to have political consequences and it became a whole thing.

Those benchmarks are wrong and misleading. Tvix contributor (but mostly reviewer I would say) here. We still don't have finished the integration with our own store, using the Nix store forces us to be slower than Nix, therefore the claims are bogus alas.

It's primarily being driven by a transition to low engagement media, such as social media and cable news, being the primary thought drivers of society. The average person was always pretty unwise, but they typically had to engage with their community in a productive way and would know an elder who was vaunted for being kind, fair, and intelligent, and who could be consulted when difficult situations were encountered. Now our society has been horrifically fractured into small atoms, so when people encounter confusing situations, they have a talking head (who's primary motivation is high viewership) explain something in a way that emotionally makes sense but doesn't actually encompass the complexity of a topic.
Yes, I know. I'm running UT since 2015, and I'm fully aware of its pros and cons.

OTH I don't understand the point you're trying to make. Can you elaborate?
Don’t forget incompatible payment schemes.

It should be illegal for the charger networks to use anything other than third party payment systems.

All the players in the US have proven they are incompetent at accepting payments. They should be forced to standardize on existing payment systems.

It's a shame really, false statements by corporations rarely get prosecuted.

Show HN: Stable Diffusion Reimagine XL
I'm a little concerned that the majority of this 3-month-old account's posts are Mathacademy rave reviews.
It’s not worth 5x!

Cars driven commercially like that are worth less money.

Take a hybrid Toyota Camry that’s driven as Taxi almost 25 hours a day.

Are they worth more? Do they command a premium?

No, they do not. And at the end of they short useful lives their value goes to zero.

You could argue that self driving cars don’t need drivers, and so can be driven 24/7 at less cost of labour.

Even that eventuates, and we get a world where car ownership is significantly on the decline, it just means they sell less cars.

As we’ve seen with most technology commodity products, price tends to be forced downwards.

So maybe Elon is right, and a self driving car is worth 5x. But it’s not obvious to me, and I’m wary of people like Elon talking up his own book. He is a proven loser and fantasist, but also a very successful billionaire. :-/
> the target audience cares very much about these things

I recently switched from Edge to Firefox (on both Desktop and phone) specifically because Edge was showing me irrelevant "news" articles (which I assume are just ads in disguise) [1].

I guess on phone I can move back to Safari (which I abandoned due to a bug where scroll position is frequently lost when navigating backwards), since it is apparently the only major browser that hasn't tried to show me ads.

Not sure what to do about desktop...

> The hegemony started breaking down in the aftermath of 9/11, when the US decided that they care more about revenge than soft power.

I would diagnose it differently. If all the US looked for was revenge, we could have been in and out of Afghanistan much more quickly and accomplished the mission. The mistake in Afghanistan was to engage in a poorly conceived twenty year experiment in nation building.

If anything the problem is that Americans are too isolationist to take the duties of hegemony seriously. There’s really no reason we couldn’t occupy Afghanistan in perpetuity if we actually cared to bother, but it became politically unpopular for some reason. Maybe because we were never honest with ourselves about what we were doing.
Yeah, no. Once it's known that it's possible to achieve, some enterprising company will quickly replicate it.

Unless, of course, it needs unobtainable levels of power.
Did you mention sandboxed builds? Actively preventing pip to execute code arbitrarily at install time? Same for Node.js?

I'm not sure it would be restricted so much as just way too expensive to be practical. There is also the practical considerations of generating 20T magnetic fields out in the real world and around people.
According to the Wikipedia article [1] both methods are used:

> 'basic' or 'physical' recycling. Bottle flake is melted into its new shape directly with basic changes in its physical properties.

> 'chemical' or 'advanced' recycle. Bottle flake (or possibly a less pure feedstock) is partially or totally depolymerized then enabling purification. The resulting oligomers or monomers are repolymerized to PET polymer, which is then processed in the same way as virgin polymer.

Agreed. There have been many defenders of Firefox on HN. I’m not sure why after all the crap they have pulled over the years.

Unrelated mini rants.

1. They fill the default new tab page with garbage content. They have amazing reach with viewers. It’s a shame they can’t fill it with quality stuff. I understand you have to pay the bills, but at least find some balance.

2. Firefox 47.x was the greatest release. I’ve never been able to keep hundreds of tabs open with Firefox. Eventually Firefox eats up so much RAM and eventually crashes. Chromium based browsers can have multiple windows with hundreds of tabs each and not crash even after being open for days/weeks.
Wow, I was pretty skeptical but there are a few titles on here that are really good. Into The Breach is great, and I'm looking forward to trying it as a phone game. I also discovered Poinpy, which is by the creator of Downwell, and is a ton of fun. Also Moonlighter, which I've been wanting to try for a while.

This is honestly pretty a cool subscription perk.

The authors conduct automated, more methodical evaluations of LLMs finetuned to imitate ChatGPT outputs, and find that, despite superficial/informal appearances to the contrary, the base LLMs close little to none of the gap to ChatGPT on tasks that are not heavily supported in the imitation data.

It's not good news for the open LLM ecosystem.
intelligence [1]

n. the ability to derive information, learn from experience, adapt to the environment, understand, and correctly utilize thought and reason.

1. Fact. A computer, by definition, can only evaluate computable functions. For instance, it cannot decide the halting problem.
2. Hypothesis. The set of all functions that form the basis of intelligence is computable
3. Fact. It is not known that Hypothesis 2 is true.
4. Therefore, it is not knowable that a computer can be intelligent or never be intelligent unless Hypothesis 2 is proven.

The statement It is possible that a future computer could be intelligent is false because it assumes Hypothesis 2 is true could be proven true in the future. So, it is conjecture at best.

The statement Some computers are already intelligent is false since Hypothesis 2 is not proven to be true yet.

The statement A computer can never be intelligent by definition assumes that Hypothesis 2 can never be proven to be true. This is a very strong statement without basis. Therefore, it is also conjecture.

The statement Every computer is intelligent by definition is false since it treats Hypothesis 2 as an axiom. So, it can be true only in a universe where Hypothesis 2 is true.

Therefore, my response is None of the above.

I'm sure you'll see lots of examples in answers to your question. You can add millions of not-household-name business programs to the list.

Any OS that has been around a while, and is still active (aka Windows, Linux, MacOS etc) will have lots and lots of long-life software.

It's an interesting dynamic because newer programmers have this impression that "software has a short life-span before it's eclipsed by something new and shiny."

In truth, it's the opposite. Y2K showed us that software literally written in the 60s was still in play (30+ years) and stuff from the 80s (10-20) years was common.

Even today COBOL programs exist, and that was unfashionable 30 years ago.

Sure your web-frontend, JavaScript framework-based interface might not last long, but the real software doing the work lasts a long long time.

This idea that you just rewrite everything every 5 years is a complete myth and yet every generation (including my own) has this impression when they start out.

20 years is actually not that old. When I attend conference's and take a straw-poll, many programmers there have a single product that originated in the DOS era, and have been actively built on for more than 30 years. DOS, 16 bit Windows, then 32 bit, even 64 bit, Web, Mobile, the more it changes the more it stays the same.
I choose to believe Prometheus and Covenant are actually parodies. They're actually pretty funny if you watch them with that in mind.

It's going to be hard, almost impossible, to be faster than chrome, with the huge amount of money and man-power Google can throw at things. They can probably get "lighter" (as in support fewer things), but I don't think that's going to make things any faster.

Also, experience tells us that being fast and light is incompatible with excellent plugin support, as the more hooks you provide for plugins, the less you can change without breaking those plugins -- that was Firefox's previous problem.
Since GP hasn't responded yet...I think you missed their point. When they said "if you think this line of reasoning through, cars should have never been admitted on the road in the first place," I think they're referring to all cars. When Ford introduced the Model T, it killed plenty of people. Ford was, in your words, "harming lives to pursue this." In the process it revolutionized transportation.
The argument that a firearm that kills or injures someone when used correctly is a defective product is a difficult one to make because, well, that's what it was designed to do. However, if a poorly-designed or -built firearm blows up in the user's hand, then that would probably be considered defective, and the injured person might well prevail on a defective-product liability claim.
What is RxHTML? The article does not make it clear, and Googling just comes up with that page. Something to do with "A programming language for board games powered by the JVM"?
You are right, in that most of the international community saw the deal as a decent one, and see Japan as a fundamentally different entity pot-war.

I'd argue it's a different story looking from inside Japan. A sizeable part of the population aren't questioning going to war in the first place, and only put the blame on the military for having attacked the US. Basically they blame the country for having been too greedy, and see the current jp/usa relationship in that light ("why do we need to import so much US beef ?" "Because we lost" is something you'd hear with only half sarcasm)

That is to me a fundamental problem that was one of the root cause of the war, and stil causes issues to this day. The lasting conclusion should have been "don't invade your neighboors", not "don't attack the US".

To be clear, I don't think Japan will ever invade Korea or China again, but their diplomatic relations are still somewhere stuck in that age on both side. And if Japan had a venue where the international community wouldn't beat the shit out of them, they'd still go for full domination.
The point is to make obvious non controversial examples to get the idea across.
Yes, it is not obvious, but this is also the Nirvana fallacy. You are comparing a good solution with more upsides than downsides, to an imaginary, perfect solution where nothing can go wrong.

Agreed on some points.

Although I do think Tesla did take advantage of their head start. But it’s clear that the pandemic and issues with China and supply chains are hampering them globally.

And sure, Tesla launched successful Electric cars and woke the market up when they realised consumers actually really would switch.

But it’s not like other manufacturers couldn’t do it, they just chose not to.

The biggest thing Tesla did was actually making it happen with vehicles that were significantly differentiated and looked like the future!

In a market where companies stopped selling sedans in favour of SUVs, Teslas came along with the model 3 and then model Y, and showed people will choose electric tech over SUV form factor.

People weren’t buying ICE sedans because they were largely garbage!
Number of actual accidents per million miles is the important stat though, and Tesla appears to be doing reasonably well on that front.

This isn't a new result really. We already know through the gpt-4 paper that rlhf style fine-tuning just makes the model more compliant, not more capable.
