Thanks, I want to reply but it would do the conversation a disservice without watching this video and getting on the same page. If I get some time to do so I'll try and reply.

One thing I will just throw a bone on is this one:

> what if cooperation is a useful corollary for consciousness/higher level reasoning via internal linguistic structures?

Yes! Interesting! But what is cooperation? Is it mating? Are cats cooperating by mating and then parting ways? Are wolves (yes they are I think) cooperating? Different vocalizations from different animals mean different things and animals understand that. Is there a categorical difference between those patterns and the larger (although I don't know if this applies to the range of sounds) complexity of human language?

Bonus question, how does this factor in to someone who is more well-read than someone else, or maybe knows more languages? If Chomsky or others were to suggest there's no difference and you just hit a threshold by being a human with language, it still seems a little anthropocentric to me. I'm guessing that (and it's probably a taboo subject) there is differences in consciousness between humans as well - i.e. some people are more conscious than other people. It's not binary.
> If the probability is that high, then even if x was just { return 123 } you shouldn't assume it will work.

if x -> { return 123 } then callers can 100% assume it will work

what is the alternative? how could callers de-risk the case when a solar ray flips a bit to make x not return 123?

they can't, because they don't have access to an execution model outside of the semantics of the language, and those language semantics literally guarantee x will return 123

this is literally basic computer science material

> if you replace that code with if (secure_rand_u128() == 0) { panic("boom") }, then it would be safe to assume it won't panic.

secure_rand_u128 returns, presumably, a random unsigned 128 bit integer

unsigned 128 bit integers can be any value between 0 and 340282366920938463463374607431768211455 -- and one of those possible return values is 0

if i call secure_rand_u128, then it absolutely can return 0, and code which assumes that it will never return 0 is, factually, buggy

if you want to make the assumption that secure_rand_u128 will never return 0, then you have to justify that assumption in the context of your specific use case -- it absolutely cannot be assumed in the general case

without qualifications -- P(x|x>0) != P(0)
probably a little of all the reasons you named, plus some others.

most likely it was just a shallow bait for apple fan's as i too use apple maps almost exclusively for some years now and found it more than capable for my navigation needs.
> I want syntax that will keep people from using collections.namedtuple() just for its attribute API and ignoring/regretting its index API.

The author is proposing a worse dataclass, because they don't want to ignore positional indexing on namedtuple?
Boys respond almost an order of magnitude worse to missing father figures than girls. This is understood to be one of the causes in aggregate. Fewer involved fathers these days.
Maybe they don't need to. Maybe Reddit realized they can make "dead Internet theory" a reality, for profit.

Why not embrace the "subreddit simulator" meme and simply make users argue with GPT-X, trained on previous Reddit posts? No moderation required — every user is corralled into a tiny bubble, perhaps consisting of a single real person, all while consuming ads.
It is easy to imagine that (some) Yelp sales reps are following an unofficial playbook to manufacture negative reviews around the time they engage prospects.

If one sales rep is caught, easy for the company to label them a rogue, bad actor.
I just started reading your article, and am down to "What If You Really Are a Fraud?". I think the more interesting thing is not people who have delusions of competency, but people who feel they have "imposter syndrome", but are actually imposters (not just newbies who are still learning), and convince themselves that they aren't after finding out about imposter syndrome.

I don't know how much this happens, but in areas such as education I think it could happen, as the criteria for most tertiary, and some secondary, educators isn't competency in teaching, but competency in a subject. And teaching effectively, especially to a large class, is quite hard.
I think AOP is basically a tool that is most valuable to people who are dealing with some monstrous legacy code base that they don't want touch (let alone fully understand), but are under pressure to deliver some solution to a new requirement.

It lets you play games like "when the legacy code makes certain calls here and here, we do our thing, with our state, without disturbing anything else". If it doesn't work out, the AOP stuff can be easily backed out and disabled (or further massaged), rather than reverting some commit over 37 files of legacy code.

It's kind of like the software equivalent of patching a circuit board with wires. You have a bad circuit board, already manufactured in some quantity, and need to demo the hardware tomorrow. No time to spin another rev of the board.
At least in NYC - the non-competes that I know of are for way longer than a couple months. Most of the guys I know with non-competes are at least six months with many being a year or two... They're not getting paid peanuts either. They're still getting very good paychecks.
Thats the entire western way of life.

Look at Purism attempting to make a phone in the US: It costs 2000$...How many people would be willing to pay 2000$ for an iPhone? Lets say Apple can be more efficient than a startup like Purism, maybe they can get to 1500$?

The recent labor shortages in Florida were caused by undocumented migrants being scared by Desantis's stupid immigrant law.

Lets not forget the COVID supply shortages which in hindsight were not a complete collapse thanks to a lot of sacrifice by people who we never see and never think about.

China is going offline either now with greater tensions or later due to their demographic bomb and so far Apple and others are making progress transitioning to Vietnam, thailand etc to stave off the eventual truth that the west is structurally bankrupt. Maybe robots will save us? Thats what all the elites are banking on.
What's the point of chat rooms? Well... you see in the beginning there was only grunts and aggressive body language (kinda like how emojis are used today,) and then well, you know what just read the wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_communication
I understand that he's still being paid by Fox News at the moment (and will continue to do so until 2025), so it's more a conflict-of-interest clause. Dunno the details of his contract, but I assume that completely canning him is more expensive than just taking his show off the air, but breaching his contract by doing a show on his own probably shields them from that.
Did you try it on this site?

[ LAUGHS IN LEXISNEXIS ]

Everyone seems to be fixated on the idea that the API should be free and no-one seems to be mentioning that there's some very successful business models built around charging people access to content which the parent company didn't generate. LexisNexis, for legal searches, Elsevier for scientific papers, Facebook, for random graph searches (and occasional political data scraping), Twitter, etc.

It feels scummy to me too to take something free and charge people for it, but it's also not this unique thing people seem to be screaming about. Just go somewhere else if the API is that important to you. (Like hackernews). :)
I imagine they do consider eventualities, but some things are extremely unlikely. Could someone set off a nuclear bomb under the bridge? Sure. Is it likely? No. Could a tanker truck full of gasoline catch on fire and sit directly under this bridge? Yes. Is it likely? No.
> They got bought out by a PE firm that's gobbling up registrars, DNS providers and similar. Mostly a moneygrab, so expect prices to increase and product/tech to deteriorate.

They were bought again.

The intent is almost certainly to stop a spam campaign which was using NPM package pages to host links to outside sites. Similar pages have been discussed on HN previously [1].

The fact that there was actual installable software involved was irrelevant to the attacker. All they were after was a way to put their content on a high-reputation domain -- and NPM was perfect for that.

Tortured to be sure!

Not a fan myself.
The Apollo dev agrees! Free api is not sustainable. It’s the proposed price that’s killing all major third party apps, and most minor ones, and Reddit has not only insisted that they won’t budge, but have even gone on to attack the Apollo dev directly while also stating in public that they do not offer analytics about an apps api usage nor will they help app developers (partners!) identify inefficiencies in their api usage- just tell them (publicly, with no warning) that their app is inefficient.
I'm a big fan of using wxPython instead of Qt or the other recommendations in OP.

https://www.wxpython.org/

wxWidgets is mostly licensed under an LGPL analog with linking exceptions intended to permit distributing binaries under any license you choose. No part of wxWidgets, including wxPython, has a license more restrictive than the LGPL.
It's not entirely clear what happens if a company is NOT located in NY, yet hires a person remotely and that person lives in the state of NY. Does this law apply for as long as 1 entity in the relationship (ie, employer vs employee) is located in NY, or is the statute invalidated completely if both parties are not in NY?
A friend was joking that LLMs explain star trek's obsession with the 20th and 21st century.
You know, we could save a lot on consultants if we had LLMs write the BS reports.
The custom search engine space is absolutely ripe for disruption.

Whenever you need to add a search experience to your SaaS project, you don't really think of building it yourself, however the established companies in the search engine space are lazy, retrograde and corrupt, and they absolutely don't deserve your money. (I know because I work for one of them.)

OpenAI has recently announced it will slash the cost of calls to its embeddings API by a whopping 75%. This is a huge opportunity for a startup to disrupt the search engine space.

With access to OpenAI's now-affordable embeddings API and to a vector database, one mid-level engineer can build a highly scalable custom search engine for ecommerce and retail, in a few weeks.

And yet nobody is talking about this.
The "Hacker News Hug of Death" is now 1 concurrent user at a time.

What a time to be alive :)
It's not only the API cost (indeed, spez mentioned that the cost is minor for serving the actual API) but also how much it'd be to show ads as well. It's no different than an app that's free with ads and an app that charges 5 dollars a month without ads.
This doesn't seem like as big of an issue as you make it sound from my anecdotal experience. The finance guys I know in NYC don't have this issue? It's such a common part of the work that hiring people this far out in advance is quite common...
The first law linked in your article ( https://malegislature.gov/Laws/GeneralLaws/PartI/TitleXXI/Ch... ) seems to me further reaching than the lesser of the two NY bills (S6748). Am I missing something here?
> We all worked for "free" for the greater good but I'm not going to contribute just for reddit to reap the rewards.

This is the thought I kept having when Steve Huffman was going on about the "valuable corpus of data" that Reddit owns and won't give away for free via the API.

The content may "belong" to Reddit, but Reddit certainly didn't create it--they convinced the rest of us to create it by building a website. They seem to have forgotten this, and by violating the unspoken contract with the actual creators, they are at risk of losing them entirely. Social media platforms are useless without creators.
The problem, unfortunately, isn't any particular development methodology, it's the perverse incentives of capitalism.

Even so, these people of the Power Elite were visibly much smarter than average mortals. In conversation they spoke quickly, sensibly, and by and large intelligently. When talk turned to deep and difficult topics, they understood faster, made fewer mistakes, were readier to adopt others' suggestions.

I have these thoughts about the homeless problem.
Hence the need for a law. Something along the lines of:

* Anyone who was given a contract with a provision that the drafter knew was unenforceable can sue.
* If they win, they get, punitive damages, actual damages, and lawyer's fees.
* It is not necessary to alledge any damages, or even that the provision in question was ever relevant.

Do this, and there will be law firms looking and advertising for clients. For cases as obvious as the typical non-compete the law would be so clear that lawyers would have no issue working on contingency.

Employers can drive up litigation costs all they want. Plenty of law firms can handle it, and are already used to it; and at thd end of the process, the employer would just pay the cost.

Just like any other desktop OS since 16 bit home micros, with exception of MS-DOS.

BSDs and Linux distributions are the exception with their fragmentation, even other commercial UNIXes had a proper set of desktop frameworks.
It’s coming soon. Our car’s battery capacity is comparable to the house batteries, so during extended rainy power outages, I’d love to be able to fast charge the car, drive it home, and top off the house battery. (Adding 50% per trip.)

The only other alternative is installing and maintaining a propane generator, but that’s more time then a few round trips into town per year (especially since the grocery store has a fast charger, and we invariably need to purchase food during these events).

Also, they ended up rationing propane this year, since the delivery progress with the big trucks was hampered by road conditions, and demand was unprecedented.
They lost a techie like me when their main web app refuses to even display without JS. And I say that as a JS guy. Open stuff with aims as big as Mastodon should work on as many devices as possible.
A server-rendered HTML website is an API. If said HTML website is unauthenticated and freely accessible by any user-agent, then it's a de-facto public API, too. This is the case for the Apple discussion boards. You don't have to authenticate with their backend before scraping anything you'd like off of the site. You can build third-party tools to read or even interact with this site, by scraping the HTML.

This thing with Reddit is only the big deal that it is, because Reddit's backend blocks "app" user-agents from simply scraping pages from the non-authenticated Reddit HTML website. (If this wasn't true, they'd just do that, and none of this would be an issue.) But these third-party UAs are instead forced to go through the authenticated data API — where they can then be API-credit-limited and forced into paid data-API subscription plans.
Sure, but it still doesn't cover total compensation.
Has anyone figured out if they're taking equity?

I read the website but don't see if you want shares in the startups or if it is just a free grant? Usually accelerators are investment programs so it's not clear to me what this is asking.
This is the reasoning from the article for why its suggestion is better then dataclasses:

> - Typing is optional (there are still folks who don't want to lean into that and it simply isn't always necessary)

> - Class construction should be faster (which intuitively you would think shouldn't matter, but I have talked to folks where this is an actual concern, especially when startup time is critical)

> - Syntax typically leads to better tooling support since there's no ambiguity

> - Easier to teach than (data)classes, so can act as a stepping stone towards classes

> - Better semantics than dataclasses have by default (at least in my opinion )
Reddit should have stuck to the Craigslist model of simply just existing as-is, selling a reasonable amount of ads and premium subscriptions, and only having the minimum number of employees required to keep the site up. It never needed to be and shouldn't have been anything more than that.
I’m in my 40’s and I don’t know anyone at all around my age who talks about gender at all, let alone often. Many in my generation grew up with the view that those are just a bunch of stereotypes which are not helpful and should be ignored.
The "in the past" problem can be solved in a number of ways (misc locking patterns). Have played with a number of such schemes in mssql-changefeed (see sibling post).

CDC has 20-40 second delay for mssql which makes it unusable for many purposes.

If you want to use ECS on AWS, or use Cloud Run (+GKE if needed) check out withcoherence.com. In many ways it's similar to Porter as a "PaaS in your cloud" experience - but importantly it is not k8s based. Happy to discuss Heroku migration with anyone who's curious!
Yep, had a non-compete working at an isp in Hawaii. It felt really scummy to sign that on my first day because I knew it would make it difficult to work in the tech sector when most other companies are within a very small radius and are all "competitors".

I did see one guy leave after 6 months and go directly back to his old job at a competitor and the CEO just grumbled about it and did nothing. It was kinda badass.
I guess using ambiguous terms like "smart" and "dumb" is the downfall of this article. You could replace them with "good developer" and "bad developer" for whichever definition of good and bad you choose (which will vary for person).

From your description, I don't consider smart to do some big upfront design and release a system in 2 years; in fact I'd consider that very dumb instead.
In that context dumb would be to go ahead with the first solution that comes to your mind rather than looking at 2-3 solutions, compare them, possibly PoC and measure them (if possible) and then make an informed choice including other's input (depending on the scale of the project).
It depends. I had Hodgkin's Lymphoma and had chemo for about 5 months over a year ago. Everyone reacts differently as some have various symptoms that can be worse or better than others. Some people are miserable in bed while others it not so bad and tolerable. It can also vary on the type of chemo treatment you are receiving.

Well if you want to be technically correct, EU regulations are binding and must be implemented to the letter by all member countries without excuse or deviation. EU directives are the ones that have some leeway with local laws. Both are legislation though so might as well call them laws.
A little inconvenient but you could Ask/answer it on stack overflow and then link it in the reddit reply?
Are you touch typing correctly though. I assume not based on the quotes. My younger brother did the same thing you did. He’s very very fast, but he doesn’t use all his fingers and many of his movements are inefficient. He’d be even faster if he was using the correct technique.
This cuts both ways -- if I'm not going to allow access to that content for free, why would you give me your content?

The ToS might allow for it, but people are routinely dismayed when companies stick to the letter of what their ToS allows them to do, especially when they start doing things they never did before.

>Reddit, like any other social media platform is worthless without users.

Worthless under their current model. What if their new model is to simulate other users with ChatGPT? Many users don't engage with comments beyond voting/reading. How long would it take them to notice, and if they notice would they care?

Yeah, I think immersion works, but I'm not sure how to make it not a huge time sink. It feels like its a slow path as measured by hours invested, but sometimes It's the only way.
Long covid is very real and is not anxiety. There have been studies linking post covid fatigue and conditions to viral persistence and micro clotting. This type of post covid is just anxiety discourse is incredibly harmful.
Ahh thank you, still that has a cost, legal and technical bar to cross but seems to meet the criteria.
If everybody knows it’s the deal, which is apparently the case in NY finance, it’s a non issue.

In fact not having a gardening leave might be more suspicious, as it means you’re so useless and out of the loop your previous employer doesn’t think there’s anything you could be carrying over.
As I said, "kitchen sink" is almost a broken metaphor here. I don't think it has to do with "amount" of features, but "approach" to features. I look at the Vite feature list and lot of it reads to me as "Vite does this thing because Webpack did". It isn't doing something innovatively different from Webpack, even if the underpinning toolset is newer and different and faster and maybe has a more stable API. It makes sense for me to categorize Vite with Webpack despite its relative "youth" because of such similarities in approach (whether or not "kitchen sink" is exactly the right metaphor to describe whatever you want to call that approach).

Meanwhile, esbuild is unequivocally a different thing than Webpack. (If it is a different thing than Parcel or Rollup, other than implementation language and speed, is a different conversation, of course.)

But yeah, I don't expect you to agree with me either, and I'm not exactly trying to change your mind, just offering a perspective as someone that looks at Vite and neither sees a need to upgrade legacy Webpack configs to Vite nor to use Vite where I'd just use esbuild directly without the ceremony or the extra wrappers or the API I don't need/use or the extra "tools" I don't see a need for post-Webpack/post-ESM Everywhere.
