I don't know about the US but Canada spent an absurd amount of public money to subsidize manufacturers and convince them to come. That is why they're here, and they'll leave the second we stop paying them.

It's much easier to get one model to change its behavior, than 1000 software engineers.
The author mentions prql as an alternative to sql in the post. I personally find prql much more fluent than sql.

I wouldn't say that rotating the phone is against the point! I found it an interesting subversion of the idea that a phone is only ever used in landscape / portrait mode.
They also rely on medieval era trees to reconstruct it, as the more than 1000 oak trees painstakingly sought through entire France had to be more than 1 m wide. Okay not medieval - they are only about 200 years old. Could have made a nice title though.
Generally it does at least in my US model. "The system is set to avoid unnecessary alarms if the system detects the vehicle behavior is intentional judging from the operation of the accelerator or turn signal." from https://www.mazda.com/en/archives/safety2/active_safety/las/

There are still scenarios where it can be an issue, for example when you need to "peek" through the lane to see if an overtake is possible safely. In this case it requires driver judgement on when to activate the turn signal. You may activate early or when committed, I don't think either is necessarily wrong.

I don't know the other commenter's scenario but don't doubt what they described. To pull another example out of my hat: bendy mountain roads (e.g. western Connecticut, minimal elevation changes), car ahead is moving slowly due to lack of power, heavy load, etc. Assume driving conditions and road lines are clear, no camera or sensor obstructions. The system is automatically active while following the bend and will attempt to keep on course. As you approach a rather wide curve (lanes are also widened, with extra shoulder) it is an opportunity to ride closer to the centerline in order to see past the vehicle and overtake. If you do that without putting on your blinker first, the system will attempt to correct while you're in the turn. Depending on how you react this can be jarring as the wheel is vibrating and you have to decide whether to commit to let the system correct, correct the correction, or commit to the overtake.

I chalk this up more to my own lack of familiarity with the system early on and not a defect per se. The wheel vibration is a very odd sensation to me on turns likely because on older cars I'd start to worry about tires or mechanical issues.

Ask HN: LLMs and future of front end engineering
Hi HN,

The title says it all. What aspects of front-end engineering discipline will become redundant or automated thanks to LLMs.

I am thinking out loud, an things like given a mock, generate responsive HTML markup for it should be possible. Next, you can point to buttons and tell LLMs what to do when they get clicked.

So I am curious to hear from other knowledgable folks on this topic.
Python SDK for PostgresML with scalable LLM embedding memory and text generation
We've been working on a Python SDK[1] for PostgresML to make it easier for application developers to get the performance and scalability benefits of integrated memory for LLMs, by combining embedding generation, vector recall and LLM tasks from HuggingFace in a single database query.

This work builds on our previous efforts that give a 10x performance improvement from generating the LLM embedding[2] from input text along with tuning vector recall[3] in a single process to avoid excessive network transit.

We'd love your feedback on our roadmap[4] for this extension, if you have other use cases for an ML application database. So far, we've implemented our best practices for scalable vector storage to provide an example reference implementation for interacting with an ML application database based on Postgres.

Honestly I don't know, it's not like I've read some kind of a book. I think it's a combination of reading random articles, docs and watching youtube videos(HPAcademy <3). Obviously having a good understanding of how an engine works is also super useful.

> What happened next is a lesson about leaving disaster response to the whims of capitalism.

Companies did exactly what the government wanted them to do: make hand sanitizer as fast as possible and at massive scale. The lesson here is about leaving disaster response to governments. The FDA had a bunch of tactics it could have used. It could have continued to do inspections and changed the rules to say if you don't pass you have to display a notice of that prominently on the bottle. It could have kept the rules and just let companies scale up within the limits.

Or most obviously, it could have bothered double-checking and realized that hand sanitizer wasn't going to do anything about a virus that spreads via cloud-like aerosols. The fact that SARS-CoV-2 spread this way was widely known to independent skeptics by the time the company in the article was applying for permission to make sanitizer. What happened on board the Diamond Princess cruise ship demonstrated that the virus must be spreading through air ducts, rendering lockdowns, hand sanitizers and masks all useless. It was also expected because SARS-1 spread this way too, and because masks had never had an impact on respiratory illness before either.

All this was ignored because the medical establishment didn't know what to do if this fact was recognized. They preferred to tell people to engage in pointless and self-destructive behavior rather than say, ok, maybe there's nothing we can do except let doctors get on with it.

This aerosol denial was never formally ended and so large parts of the population is still unable to process reality even today, especially in academia and healthcare. Instead they invent ever more bizarre and desperate attempts to try and explain the abject failures of all these mitigations.

Absolutely incredible! This feels like 2/3rds of the way towards being the dev equivalent of a person from WALL-E ( or Homer Simpson with his drinking bird).

Hopefully in 6 months there will be a generally-available tool for this that isn't too expensive. The dream is written tasks -> code, with the ability to interrupt and tweak. Copilot and ChatGPT are "yeah, but..." for coding - they do some of the heavy lifting but don't get all the way there.

IMO, people who are poo-pooing this are threatened, and have too much of their ego wrapped up in being good at code. Code is a tool to serve a purpose, most of the meaning is at the social or product level. Let the computer win the game!
My single sentence may have been too concise, there are two concepts here: 1) the tool chain may or may not exist, and 2) bringing in that tool chain to the build system.

Even if it's the "same" toolchain for compiling C++ as it is C, adding the complexity of an additional language to the build process, and the extra versioning headaches that C++ adds over C, is enough to kill library adoption.

As I said originally, providing bindings is not the challenge, it's all the other stuff.
>What motivates people to provide sources that refute their own argument?

I do not see how the data I offered does. This quote specifically seems to support my claim that tribes that "restrict" or maintain certain "expectations" of women are disproportionately responsible for pulling the fertility rate up (which is 3 compared to other countries of being less than 2).

>Though Haredim are just 13% of the population, their offspring make up 19% of Israeli children under the age of 14, and 24% of those under the age of four.

>As can be seen, secular Jews are roughly at 2 children per woman and "religious" (but not Haredi) are at 4. Once again, other OECD countries are roughly between 1.0 and 1.7 and falling. And they, too, have a share of religious traditionalists.

I agree that it is notable that secular Jews are at a higher fertility rate, but note that it is not much higher. There are 2 factors at play here, the biological costs of having children, which are immutable, and the "economic" costs of having children, which are mutable. You make a good point here:

>In one survey 83% of secular Jewish mothers aged 25-39 said they were supported by their child’s grandparents, whereas only 30% of German mothers said the same. In Israel the traditional family structure is still strong. In France and Britain more than half of babies are born out of wedlock. In Israel it is under 10%.

It takes a village to raise a baby, and it may be true that given enough familial support, a woman would be more likely to have ~2 children rather than 0 or 1 as is being seen in other developed countries that lack the familial support system for myriad reasons. However, even with familial support, I think few women would opt for 3 children, and a very small minority would opt for 4 or more.
It’s highly limited compared to the tiling in Vivaldi. You can only tile 2 tabs at a time. Arc also doesn’t seem to have horizontal tabs so you lose 10-20% of your screen space to the vertical tabs bar which gets annoying. I do like Arc but there are some basic things missing that make it hard to use.
This.

I've been quite happy that popular emojis were introduced in supplementary planes, because my language has quite a few common words (eg. 𨋢 [lift/escalator]) that ended up on plane 2.

Proper software support for those characters used to be terrible, but things got much better after emojis became popular. So, thanks and sorry everyone :)
>is that they condone warfare between communities by allowing moderators to ban people merely for being subbed to another community, and for reasons as simple as the other community being the wrong politics and no history of raids.

Either these are communities or they aren't. If they are communities, they have the right to ban whomever they please for nearly any reason. The right to decide who is and who is not a member is about the most important right a community has. My buddies and I have no obligation to let you hang out with us if we don't like your politics.

I certainly don't care for the way Reddit runs its "communities". They are, in practice, run by a variety of petty tyrants. The admins ban anything that might scare off the advertisers and the moderators rule by edict. The solution to that is not, in my opinion, to increase centralized control even more.
No, I specifically was referring to fat women. Check the recommendations on birth control pills--same thing, older + fat makes them risky. The problem with the big study is that their sample was disproportionately overweight.
I guess you could build an AST from the Python code and eval if it's successful. No gaurentee the code will run, of course (you could always get an error).

In general, it feels it's halting problem hard to determine if any general purpose programming language program is executable or safe... but maybe if we reduce the size of the spec under consideration?
That might be a technically correct approach for the population growth if we ignore natual constraints. However, it fails if we take a larger perspective in the analysis. We see that the developed world produces more climate impact and has higher resource consumption. Shifting the developing world to a similar lifestyle is not possible due to constrained resources. If anything, in the short term it would lead to additonal resource depletion and more climate impact before we could realize any of the population reduction.
Same happened to me. Apparently TB stands for tuberculosis, is that common knowledge?
Reddit's charm is that you can easily discover brand new communities and it's zero friction to get involved, you find a new subreddit and start interacting. No need to remember the new site or set up new credentials. A bunch of different communities adds all that friction back in.
I didn't claim it was Facebook's fault. I did write...

> Useful solutions to the problem are where we are running into disagreements.

I consider Useful to be Usability + Utility.

One of the problems in finding a useful solution is that politicians are driving solutions based on things they are not experts in. A reasoned understanding of the situation with information on which knobs to turn is not present.

> Newspapers not making enough money from their ads is not Facebook's fault.

Yes and no. A specific issue is local and regional news. Facebook and Next Door are examples of applications that have changed how we engage with and know about local and regional happenings. That means less traffic to Newspapers to learn about local happenings.

This kind of change isn't necessarily a bad thing. But, it is transformative with trade-offs that are worth looking into. For example, I can easily get the scores for the local high school football games via social media. But, getting a good understanding about some outstanding players is going to be missing. Something gained and something lost.

There is a lot here. And, while I don't like the proposed law I do see a need for understanding and change. Some knobs needs to be adjused around this space.

Well, there’s always the Bitcoin Talk ANN board https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=159.0

So before that, maybe some of the other boards on Bitcoin Talk?

Otherwise, I do find that weird and I am an ardent masker. Actually, come to think of it, the other day I drove home that way because I just forgot to take it off when I left the supermarket.

So there are non-weird explanations. I doubt they account for all the cases.
It's my belief that the underpinning design principles have not been lost - cathedrals are quite well studied by architects as I understand it.

So, while some of the specifics are probably having to be identified and re-implemented, the basics are broadly understood. Stonemasons as a mass-employer has gone away, but like blacksmithing there are still individuals out there who carry on the tradition.

It's akin to a master caution alarm on a plane and the engines just cut out. Until there's more data on exactly what the issue is, pilots should generally follow the checklists. Avoidable accidents happen when pilots make assumptions about what is wrong (e.g., "oh my instruments must be incorrect") instead of following their checklists/training. Until we knew that surface transmission wasn't a serious vector, it made total sense to guard against it.
Corporate America hasn't been "corrupted" by social concern politics. Rather, the social mores of the US have moved on. A corporation advertising with a rainbow flag has the same value-free profit-seeking connotations as advertising with an American flag in the 1980's.

What has actually changed is that the right wing has anchored their viewpoints to the social mores of the 1950's, making them no longer conservative but rather reactionary (as laid out by Moldbug himself). From that perspective, every day regular society ends up seeming increasingly hostile. What has happened is that they've moved into the position of activists. And like many newly minted activists, rather than doing the slow work of convincing others of the value of their beliefs, they're merely asserting things should be a certain way and then playing the victim when they aren't.

The heuristics that many people employ can be rather annoying. Another example regarding hand sanitizer:

They used hand sanitizer after picking up and eating a cookie. And I was probably a weirdo for not doing so. Greasy fingers are a problem, and I guess they see hand sanitizer as a substitue for hand-washing. But hand sanitizer doesn't wash anything away.

Threatening people with bodily harm is not as bad as actually harming them, but it’s still both illegal and immoral. Swinging your fist at someone’s face but stopping just short of actually hitting them is generally also considered assault.
In the case of Reddit, it's definitely extracted. Reddit is just a particularly poorly-run and particularly large forum. Reddit (and Digg before it) did not create new forms of communication, merely placed them under the control of capital.
