Meanwhile care of ChatGPT:

To find the sum of the digits of a number, you add together all the individual digits. In the case of the number 15683615, the sum of its digits would be:

1 + 5 + 6 + 8 + 3 + 6 + 1 + 5 = 35

Therefore, the sum of the digits of 15683615 is 35.

Good job ChatGPT. This sort of “near miss” for Bard has been my experience the entire time I’ve compared Bard and ChatGPT.

In the most hilarious example, I asked both to reword an email to someone named “Helena” to explain how I’ve been busy and did not return her email. I included her prompt for context, including her asking if I was on vacation. ChatGPT did a good job of adjusting my wording to be better understood by a non native English speaker and used her prompt appropriately. Bard spun a story about how I was vacationing with my non-existent children in Helena Montana.

Bard just isn’t there yet.
> The pandemic had upended global supply chains, making it harder for corporations to acquire the stuff they needed to make their products. This should have squeezed their profit margins. Instead, as the economy began opening up, corporate profits were wildly outpacing growth in consumer spending power.

It depends on the price elasticity of the good. In the example given, that of chips and the cars that depend on them, people were demonstrably willing to pay the premium. In this instance price hikes are a useful mechanism for allocating limited supply to the areas where it's most valued. That this mechanism happens to drive high margins is uncomfortable, but vindictiveness isn't a good basis for policy.

My problem with this article as a whole is that it presents this toolkit as a novel approach to fighting inflation as such, when, if it's applicable at all, it's only been shown to be so in the unusual case of inflation driven mostly by massive supply shocks, e.g. Covid and WWII.
It would be interesting if libraries could be used for this purpose. Most close early so they could be used in the evenings for social gatherings, etc.
It took me 4 weeks to get back to 50% speed. 4 months to get back to 75% speed. 4 years to type faster than Qwerty.

I'm incredibly happy with my switch. I was getting RSI pain from awkward top-to-bottom row maneuvers with Qwerty. I still have some pain, but that's mostly from using the computer far too much.

Most of the challenge is not about learning the new layout, but getting your muscle memory to forget about the old way of doing things. If I were to do it again, I'd recommend a progressive layout change; switching a single set of keys at a time. It takes longer to switch, but reduces the upfront mental load.
I've seen some... unproductive comments about Asahi Lina and of course they never go away because every HN thread is a 101 thread. And the Alyssa thread was probably a disaster but I didn't read it for that reason.
Freshly Remember'd: Kirk Drift (2017)
Eh, I hate to say it, but this is probably the right move (if there's a switch to get it if you really want it, which other commenters are saying there is). Enough businesses are rapidly adopting "no GPT/Bard use in the workplace for IP/liability reasons" policies that it makes sense to default to opt-in for Workspaces accounts.
Some EU countries love extracting billions in fines from large tech companies, warranted or not.

You can't buy those bulbs anymore, both literally, and they truly don't make them like that anymore. I have new ones and old ones, the old ones weigh three times as much. There were more components run at a lower limit of peak capacity. I move my old bulbs when I move because new ones won't last as long.

> Almost nobody wants higher taxes to fix roads.

I think most people would argue that the taxes they're paying now should cover it and if that's not enough we could try things like diverting tax money from waste, eliminating earmarks, or maybe even start forcing corporations and billionaires to pay their fair share. People want nice roads and are willing to pay taxes for it, but the burden shouldn't fall entirely on the shrinking middle class.
By default, when following `<a>` links from site FOO to site BAR, the browser will tell site BAR in the Referrer header[1], that you're coming from the site FOO.

If you add attribute `rel=noreferrer`[2] to the `<a>` tag, the browser will not attach such a header.

It looks like the guys from asahilinux dot org somehow altered the behaviour of their website in cases when Referrer was set to hackernews, so hn added the `rel=noreferrer` to those links.

No idea about the context of the drama though.

Keyboard Layouts Doc
Hi HN,

I've occasionally seen some discussion about alternative keyboard layouts, and I just wanted to promote some of the work that the Alternate Keyboard Layouts discord community has been doing for the last few years.

While Dvorak and Colemak are certainly excellent alternatives over Qwerty, the community has sought to find even "better" alternative layouts (for some definition of the word better).

This layout doc attempts to explore some of those definitions and metrics, and identifies layouts that sit in interesting sweet spots.

Happy layouting!
I misused the word “current” to mean the version as of the time of the purchase.

I don’t consider it a trick at all and am not sure why being able using something that was perfectly usable when you bought it is “a trick” as soon as a newer version of that thing comes out?
> zero tolerance for those who defend wielding state violence against any oppressed, scapegoated and subjugated peoples & identities"

noreferrer was a mistake and such has been said so elsewhere.

Cheques are cool! :)

They are the only way for a regular individual to emit their own bonds or better yet a promissory note.

Simply give your counterparty a post-dated cheque, if you have a good reputation you they'd give you the stuff immediately , and you have X days to find the money to put in your bank acount to satisfy their claim.

In countries where a bounced cheque means jail time such as Bahrain and Kuwait a post-dated cheque is essentially the same as money provided that the beneficiary informations have NOT been filled out (it's the bearer who fills the stuff out)

It's essentially a form of P2P lending which should not go away until we can do the same with bank wires (meaning setting up a bank wire transaction and give proof to our counterparty that we did so and that we cannot modify it).

Bard is fast enough compared to ChatGPT (like at least 10x in my experience) that it's actually worth going to Bard first. I think that's Google's killer advantage here. Now they just need to implement chat history (I'm sure that's already happening, but as an Xoogler, my guess is that it's stuck in privacy review).

1. Vet your idea as much as possible before you incur costs. Read something like the mom test for guidance
2. Get an NDA drawn up and have it signed before you divulge anything you think is at risk
3. Get an equity agreement drawn up and in the hands of the technical counterpart - having them have a vested interest can reduce the risk
4. Find some money to pay a high quality all rounder engineer who has had experience at seed or very early stage startups. At this stage you need doers not theorists. Focus on hiring less high quality rather than lots of less high quality. You’ll be hard pushed to find high calibre people that will work just for equity.
5. Don’t try and build an app and a website at the start - choose one and focus on it and getting an MVP out the door. One of the biggest early stage mistakes is trying to build too much - get something of value out the door and learn from the feedback before building the next thing
6. You can hire someone on an hourly/day rate to help you find good technical people - ‘fractional’ CTOs are a thing and I’m sure you’ll be able to find one to give you a couple of hours for free to see if they meet your expectations then pay them by the hour/day going forwards. I’m happy to give you an hour for free if helpful.
7. How you find people will depend on where you are. I’m UK based but that won’t help state side.
For me it was the burden of typing 'ls'. I'm in the shell a lot, and the dvorak layout is very much _not_ shell friendly.

Author here. The example given is slightly contrived. A more realistic example involves large polygons that you zoom “inside” or locked elements overlaying active ones. But I had to try to give an example without a ton of context.

There are some more interesting but less easy to explain to a broad audience examples.

One is having “nearest the pointer” hovering logic rather than rectangles or circles overlaying each other.

Another is hovering line segments and the projecting the nearest hovered point onto the line. That was approximated with SVGs before and was just kind of a bug.

Another example is allowing some “wiggle room” for touching elements without having to render SVGs multiple times with transparent elements and stuff like that.
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36214514 you agreed abuse is immoral and unethical, so clearly nothing is being "conflated" except in your own mind.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36210181 is where debok says they are okay with all immoral and unethical behaviour in their family members, and that includes abuse since we both agree that abuse is (one of many things that is) immoral or unethical.

Now you bring up this idea https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36214514 that I must mean that "that abuse is the only (or even primary) thing that a kid could conceivably complain is immoral or unethical" but that's definitely not what I'm talking about; I'm saying a kid could complain about abuse, and debok says they would still maintain a relationship with that abuser because they are their parents, and that is what I think is wrong and that what you replied to. Maybe you didn't know before but now you do, and as you persist, I think it is a kindness to say you're only trying to change the subject, instead of what I really think.
FWIW HN sets the Referrer-Policy header [1] to origin [2] and it seems most browsers maybe support it. [3] Perhaps some addons override or spoof it and/or maybe some bots ignore it.

It is really scary the accelerating trend of creating regulations to restrict or violate basic human rights on the basis of straw man national security reasons...

What is nice with this law is that they can look for things not related to the hack on target devices. If they see something incriminating against you not related to the case, they can still use it against you in a new procedure. Without warrant. How convenient.

In addition, I can easily guess that they don't have to prove that you were really hacked, but mere suspicion or being a potential victim of the hackers might be enough.

Multilingual speech recognition is proving both a curse and a blessing. I will:

1. Turn it off by default
2. Ask people for their native and target language so as to detect when things go wrong. In which case, I'd give a second shot at transcribing and, if nothing comes out of it, just ask you to repeat nicely. (As it happens in real conversations.)
Would you mind elaborating what those social issues are? If that's a taboo topic, feel free not to answer. I'm just curious.
I’ve been working professionally in the field for 25+ years. I just turn it over to the network and devops teams when it’s time to deploy. There is no reason a web developer should know those things.
I also wonder if walkable cities and more public spaces would make social media less isolating. Technology has made it easier to meet in person in some ways so perhaps if there were fewer obstacles to teens meeting that facilitation effect would be stronger.

There’s also the fact that social media corporations are incentivized to keep you using their platform as long as possible. I saw a post pointing out that no social media app notifies friends when you happen to be nearby (presumably an opt-in system). They argued this shows where their priorities are. I’m not sure that specific feature would be so easy to implement, but it does seem like there are many ways social media is oriented away from building deep connections or socializing off their platform (including in person).

A lot of faceless funds. Utility-scale developments are usually built as a partnership between local utilities, a developer who acquires/leases land and builds the the site, and investors who buy the site and form a pricing agreement with the utilities. Sometimes the developer is also the investor. These are people who don't get out of bed for less than 8 digits.

Avantus is a large developer operating in the California/South West. You can look at their project partners for more. The developers require high touch relationships with local governments so they are very regional.

> AlphaDev uncovered new sorting algorithms that led to improvements in the LLVM libc++ sorting library that were up to 70% faster for shorter sequences and about 1.7% faster for sequences exceeding 250,000 elements.

As someone that knows a thing or two about sorting... bullshit. No new algorithms were uncovered, and the work here did not lead to the claimed improvements.

They found a sequence of assembly that saves... one MOV. That's it. And it's not even novel, it's simply an unrolled insertion sort on three elements. That their patch for libc++ is 70% faster for small inputs is only due to the library not having an efficient implementation with a *branchless* sorting network beforehand. Those are not novel either, they already exist, made by humans.

> By open sourcing our new sorting algorithms in the main C++ library, millions of developers and companies around the world now use it on AI applications across industries from cloud computing and online shopping to supply chain management. This is the first change to this part of the sorting library in over a decade and the first time an algorithm designed through reinforcement learning has been added to this library. We see this as an important stepping stone for using AI to optimise the world’s code, one algorithm at a time.

I'm happy for the researchers that the reinforcement learning approach worked, and that it gave good code. But the paper and surrounding press release is self-aggrandizing in both its results and impact. That this is the first change to 'this part' of the sorting routine in a decade is also just completely cherry-picked. For example, I would say that my 2014 report and (ignored patch of) the fact that the libc++ sorting routine was QUADRATIC (https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20837) finally being fixed late 2021 https://reviews.llvm.org/D113413 is quite the notable change. If anything it shows that there wasn't a particularly active development schedule on the libc++ sorting routine the past decade.
