I haven't used Notion, but in my research its AI feature is only the Smart Write/Edit that Mem has - tho I am unsure how well it uses the rest of the content you have inside of Notion, as their sales page doesn't really make that clear.

Mem.ai has integrated many aspects into it - I love that I am now unconcerned about tags or folders or categories.
This should be logarithmic
Data centers are one of the best demographics for adopting new architectures because more of the software can be custom-built towards a narrow application: Get a Linux stack to build, add some network I/O, add some virtualization, and you can do all sorts of things.

Client apps have a much harder time making that jump because the environment is more holistic, the hardware more varied, and the need for "must-have" proprietary apps more imperative.
It seems to be pretty close to my program (UCSD). Distributed systems was introduced in operating systems but you had to elect for deeper classes. System design wasn’t really taught unless you mean CPU architectures, which this covers. I’ve never heard of game theory being part of a CS program (I took it as an elective)
This isn't even the first legitimately interesting video game connection to McDonalds, weirdly.

Treasure is an influential game development studio that did a lot of really interesting work in the mid to late 90s, responsible for games like Gunstar Heroes, Radiant Silvergun, Ikaruga, Bangai-o, Silhouette Mirage, Dynamite Headdy, Mischief Makers, Alien Soldier, and others. They were a bunch of ex-Konami developers (who had worked on games like Contra 3, Axelay, Super Castlevania 4, the arcade Simpsons) who were tired of making license games and wanted to make their own original games. A few of their games did well in the market, but they and their particular approach to innovation in action game rule systems has had a much, much bigger impact on other action game developers since.

And their very first game when they left Konami and started their own studio, the game they had to make to stay afloat to make Gunstar Heroes, was... a Sega Genesis McDonalds game, the 1993 "McDonald's Treasure Land Adventure".

I've never played it, but it looks really solid and vastly better than it has any right to be.
$500-600K/year in revenue.

Take away 1. app store fees (30%) 2. income taxes 3. hosting costs 4. contracting costs (he employs at least one part time engineer) 5. design costs 6. health insurance + other payroll taxes, and you are left with a small percentage of that as net income.

Now add in the hours of his life he has presumably put into this app for the last 8+ years. I'm going to go ahead and guess that it was more than 40 hr/5 day weeks

If you consider his skills as a premier iOS/full stack developer, simply getting a job in big tech would be a wayyyy better option for him financially. Heck he could pocket $500K/yr at Google/Meta in straight salary without any of the associated fuss.
As someone who eats like shit all I can think at that list is that’s a lot of McDonald’s
Ukraine, unlike Russia does its best to only target military installations and military outposts.

I'm not so sure.

As resourceful as you are -- I suggest you do find a way to pull up the NYT article, and other reports on the situation in Shebekino / Belgorod. Initial reports do indicate that the "rebels" are to some extent deliberately targeting civilian infrastructure -- with the goal of creating maximum chaos, and maximum embarrassment for (and internal outrage directed at) the Russian government (in their inability to respond). Per the article:

Shebekino is a ghost town after days of shelling. Perhaps a thousand residents linger on. Last week, they included a single man who dragged twisted metal onto the sidewalk in a forlorn cleanup effort.

It is, after all, an offensive operation -- and it is extremely difficult to imagine this kind of stuff not happening. It also makes sense that Kyiv doesn't want to be seen doing these things with own hand -- and so instead sent a fake "rebel" army over the border to do the job. "Do what you gotta do, but don't overdo it. Moderate-scale terror, and single-digit civilian fatalities only, please" one imagines them being told by their handlers.

None of which supports the overall narrative of the other commenter in this thread, of course. Or that of any of the other trolls and sycophants who post regularly here. Russia's atrocities so far have been on an entirely different scale, and are far more calculated and deliberate than what the Ukrainians are doing.

Still - the Ukrainians aren't angels, and there's no reason to pretend that that they are.
I think they literally just use React as a templating language, basically. You write React components and this service renders them down to email-friend HTML. Like SSR but for email.
The best example of this is Final Fantasy itself.
It was, I'm told, a very good book that I noped out of about ten pages in.

I made it that far before becoming incredibly annoyed at the way literature critics were praising his new invention of post-apocalyptic stories which nobody had ever read before ever.

Also, if I remember correctly, he felt that the rules of punctuation didn't apply to him. Maybe that paid off if I'd read more than ten pages.

I don't doubt that he was a true giant. But even setting aside these purely meta-textual gripes, it's just not a story I want to hear. If I want to be depressed and angry, I'll read Hacker News.
14 or 15 year Reddit user, mostly as a lurker -- I strongly support this.
Reddit is a community, and a community is its people.
I could most likely make it faster - depending on the YOLO used.
So this means spez is just gonna suspend and institute his own mods, right?

Blackout isn't enough, don't let them scab the VOLUNTEER mods - don't cross the picket line - better yet, delete your account after using a tool to scrub your account's history. Delete isn't enough, you need to replace it with junk.

If you're going to lurk, make sure you're blocking first party ads.

I too use VS Code as my Jupyter platform (running remotely on a powerful EC2 instance with 32 CPUs and 256GB RAM — my own desktop is a 7 year old Intel core i7 with 8GB RAM). VS Code’s Remote extension is amazing, works over any SSH host and seamlessly blends local and remote. It’s also fast since the UI is local while the filesystem and execution is remote.

The experience is a lot better than JupyterLab (which I am forced to use from time to time on SageMaker). The VS Code UI is cleaner plus I get a full language server which means I can rename variables and refactor fearlessly.

I also get full access to VS Code plugins.

It seems real wisdom has a prerequisite: actually seeing/witnessing other people's mistakes.

It is hard to see other people's real mistakes, both clearly and with all the context.

I remember reading about one common parenting mistake: fighting with their spouse quietly away from their kids. Or maybe fighting happens, but resolving does not.

The idea is that kids can't learn how their parents fight, discuss and then resolve issues because they don't ever see everything start to finish.
The surprising thing is the government makes no explicit effort to control prices.

It does not ask or legislate for prices to not go up.

What seems to be happening in Australia is companies are taking the chance to pump their prices. Presumably this results in high profits.

I guess there would be stats that should if profits have been going up during this period of inflation.
I think you're being a little unfair here:

First of all you describe it as an alias, which is very different to a symlink. A symlink is a file so will be available system wide. Whereas an alias is only available to shells that have had that alias added to (and it's pretty common for embedded shells, like in IDEs, to not pick up default aliases). So my points were about aliases not symlinks.

For what it's worth "open" doesn't exist on my Ubuntu servers either. And it was added to Debian only 2 years ago. Murex has been around for nearly a decade. So I can hardly be blamed for adding a builtin with the same name as something that hadn't yet been added to Linux.

> Historically `open` comes form NextStep, so actually Apple copied it.

Apple didn't copy NextStep, they bought it and ported/rebranded a lot it's tech. Also I wasn't claiming Apple invented the concept of "open". I was saying I suspect Debian got the idea from macOS.

---

Anyway, this is all moot because the `open` builtin (Murex) already checks if `open` is a TTY (ie you're not piping the output of `open`). You can define how commands get opened when it's a TTY as well https://www.murex.rocks/docs/commands/openagent.html -- this is how Murex can inline images into the terminal -- so i can just add a "if no open agent is defined fallback to exec open" type condition. Then everyone is happy.

As to why `open` builtin reinvents `xdg-open` -- well that's because Murex needed something cross platform and there wasn't a reliable way to do that at the time. So I had to roll my own. Now the landscape has changed somewhat, I daisy chain the builtin to call the system `open` command on supporting platforms.
If you go to Filter > Video, it gives you a more traditional search.

Additionally, YouTube can be thought of as the second most used search engine. Which in return means that the built-in search is now up against Google, Bing and whatever else - and most other engines can be restricted to just search YouTube using the site: operator.
The VSCode remote access is IMO better than just accessing files remotely; it’s s a large part of why I use it instead of Pycharm.

It splits the editor into a UI that is run locally, and a server that does the heavy lifting on the remote machine. Conceptually it’s very similar to Jupiter, where you have a user facing front end with the UI run on JavaScript and rendered by your browser, and a python kernel backend, and the two communicate over pipes that can be run over the internet.

What it effectively means for VSCode is that you get a more seamless experience than I experienced with Pycharm remote development.
That's great news. I'm always cheering for the little guy. I love capitalism but I also love people flexing on people that try to abuse their customers.

Ask HN: Python Serverless Functions?
We're working on a project that requires handling and responding to events. Is there a way to deploy Python functions similar to CloudFlare JavaScript workers? AWS Lambda cold starts are unacceptable to us.
What the parent comment means is, they're not releasing it on the hardware officially. So it didn't need to be specifically a GameBoy Color game.
OK, how about

I did not sigh at your mistake, I sighed at the over-prevalence of IPAs.
> China is not a third world country any longer.

You miss the point. A 50 cent army is feasible when you are paying third world wages. If Chinese wage increases price them out of the market, then you can just hire people from somewhere else. But it's the low wages that make such an attack possible. Low wages vs high wages don't matter much when you are spending $200/hr per soldier on Reddit account fees.

If China wants to launch a state-level attack on Reddit they are probably better off pressuring Tencent to pressure Reddit to just do what they want.
That makes perfect sense to me.

McDonalds obviously made the game in the hope that it will sell more hamburgers. If you buy a hamburger, their strategy worked, which means they (and other companies that are watching) have a reason to do similar things in the future.

What’s weird about incentivizing behavior you like in the hope that you get more of that behavior?

It's quite easy to spin a false narrative when you cherry-pick cases, misrepresent facts, and leave out important context.

> a white couple waved guns at the protestors

If this is the case I'm thinking of, the protesters had broken down a gate and were trespassing on their property. What were they supposed to do in that situation? Risk their lives and property by putting themselves at the mercy of the mob?

> Black, can raise voice

That's a hell of a euphemism for "threatening to kill people". Apparently the subway riders felt that he was a real threat, because he was restrained by 3 people, and all of the passengers that have spoken up about it seemed to think it was necessary
> they would have convinced themselves that "We can't allow this because all those apps are junk and we want a pristine experience

It's understood, and also mentioned:

"All these apps won't be native, ... we won't review them, they won't use our APIs or tools..."
I’m happy to pay for Reddit if they can figure out how to truly add value to paying users. Some random virtual tokens don’t count. I was a paying user for many years, but ended up cancelling as the difference was so thin and my usage went down significantly as Reddit deteriorated.
there are no hash tables in the Standard C Library - POSIX does not define Standard C.

Darn. I really want to sort this by highest price to lowest, but it times out.
Short answer --- yes. By shrinking the money supply --- by removing money from the financial system.
Late answer: we added $20k of solar panels to our roof in SoCal in late 2020.
Get back about $1.8k from the utility every year, instead of $300-600 per month bill.
All else staying the same, the system will be paid off in about 3 years (6 years after installation). FWIW There was a tax rebate of $5500 at the time.
I bit the bullet yesterday and just called it quits.

I was there for a very long time (before it was even “launched” officially).

So I do it with a heavy heart, but I don't think there’s any way of going back for them now. Its been a downward trend for literally years at this point.

That's my favorite part of Amazon's console. That miniature heart attack you have when you ask "WHERE ARE ALL MY LAMBDAS AND DYNAMO INSTANCES?"

Then you realize that they just switched you back to us-east-1 for some reason and a wave of familiar relief washes over you.
And thus the reason "people don't want to work any more" gets heard.

People do want to work, for decent wages, not exploitation and begging via 'tips'.
I can't agree that forums is dramatically better. I know/remember the feeling when you opens thread in forum with title that you are interested in just to see 200+ pages of slowly ongoing flamewar and spam.
"De-facto industry standard" is heavily a function of what slice of the industry you're looking at.

It feels like the dominant style of programming in the companies I've worked at (YC startups and FAANG) is "functionalish" procedural, with a sprinkling of objects-qua-objects to interface with libraries and frameworks (Eg, react class components or rails ActiveRecord models).

Note I'm distinguishing between objects-qua-objects (data coupled tightly to methods that operate on them) from structs-implemented-via-objects (eg, ruby's `Struct` or Java "beans") or modules-implemented-via-objects (like a class with a bunch of static methods used as a namespace). I only see the first one as "object-oriented".
HN is a very different userbase than Reddit. You have people here getting upvoted (or whatever its called on HN) saying they don't use mobile phones because they don't see the point etc. It's clear HN crowd doesn't represent the average person.

With that in mind, I fully expect most people here are using the bare bones web experience with JS disabled :)
This is weird.

- Prices went up
- Way more people are going to the point where it’s overcrowded

I love this sentiment! Amazing work!
I don't know... I've been on there on and off all day, and it's honestly better today than it has been for a long, long time.
> Reddit can't afford to pay the employees they already have out of the revenue they make, that's ostensibly the reason why they raised prices on the API in the first place.

I'm sure there'd be plenty of volunteers who already manage several of the big 20M+ subs that didn't go dark. We're only talking about 6 subs, and they aren't that complex.

> Don't you think the mods of e.g. a 13M subreddit would want a piece of the cake too, and would strike to get it?

They don't matter nearly as much. The top few are what make up the home page with a few others just sprinkled in. And again I highly doubt reddit would need to pay mods.

Again we're only talking about 6 subs. Not even double digits. There's already groups of subs that mod many, many large subreddits.

> Does anyone know if section 230 of the DMCA shields Reddit from liability as-is?

It does. (And 230 isn't part of the DMCA, it's the only surviving bit of the CDA).
Most stuff is back up, but AWS MediaConvert still seems to be down.
Old laws like murder aren't bad just because we've had them so long.
> Every time you get a payment from AirBnB, you take most of the money and move it to your personal bank account as a "management fee" or a "bonus" and you put the smallest amount possible into the mortgage and the second mortgage

Correction: you pay your debt first. Then you take the money and spend it on yourself versus investing in the business, upgrading the home.
Sure, PE is bigger than this. But isn’t the issue people are having is that this “failure” isn’t a failure (PE gains something)…it’s part of doing business as a PE firm?
As a bi man, the dynamics of dating men and women are very different. It ranges from the very explicit (you must plan the date; you must pay for the date) to the comparatively subtle (you must be emotionally stoic and not show too much vulnerability; you must have a stable, well-paying job; you must be "confident"). These things aren't standards you would be subject to in a purely platonic relationship. It's not even so much those things making you "hot" but those being prerequisites to being considered a potential partner.

Gay men are much less strict about demanding a performance of the male gender role (except for those elements of it relating to physique).
Totally agree.

There is also a problem to me that "stochastic parrot" is too clever. It is too good of a name and evokes such a strong mental image. It is a great name for branding purposes but because of that it is a terrible name if we are actually trying to discover truth. It can't but help to become a blunt, unthinking, intellectual weapon and rhetorical device.
#3 I can begrudgingly accept.

#1 and #2 are indistinguishable, even to yourself. If you don't remember the conditions that made you chose a solution, how can you be sure that they still apply now?

I believe, as you get older, you tend to rely on these assumptions more and more, which is why it's us youngsters' job to question them. Ideally, both sides learn something :)
Which of these brands do you think were healthy, prior to hiring consultants? Which of them had healthy future prospects, and did not deserve to have 'their stock prices driven down'?

I'm not saying that the consultants provided any value add, but if a priest gets hired to say last rights over a terminal patient, it's hard to accuse the priest of killing the patient.
And what about all the "free money" being granted to those already holding a high balance?

"Basic income for those with the most savings" has been one of my favourite framinga for interest rates.
Continuous Deployment for WordPress
I was at a swim meet last week, and one of the food trucks was using Apple Tap to Pay because Toast didn't have a solution that worked for them, on site. After they finish up at an area, they then enter a single transaction for all of the day's business into Toast.
Facebook did the same when they developed HipHop for PHP. I imagine the reasoning is the same in both cases: spend a few million dollars and a handful of engineers improving the language and tools, or spend hundreds of millions and years of time rewriting everything into a more performant language. I honestly think the math pencils and makes sense.
I can't wait to make a seemingly-innocuous post on some subreddit, only to have that post removed for "failing to meet community guidelines" and receive absolutely zero intelligible response from the AI moderators.

To be fair, that's still possible (and sometimes the case) with human moderators, though I find that experience to be exceptionally rare, and the remedy (just don't use that subreddit) easier to perform. At least if the mods of some sub go haywire, users can always create another sub. With widespread use of AI moderation, there'd be nowhere to go to escape.
Is there something like this but for traditional CompSci?

Trying to change career tracks
Unless you interpret it in a charitable way instead of an incredibly misanthropic one. Have you considered that you are introducing a false dichotomy?

If helping other people pleases you, doesn’t that just make you a good person?

Is it possible that such people exist, and that helping others need not only be the consequence of following the dictates of a rule based ‘imperative’?

If I needed help, I would far rather receive it from someone who was doing it because they received personal satisfaction from doing so, than someone doing it because they were trying to avoid violating an imperative.
Please don't make excuses for the government. This is simply their way of getting around the spirit of the 1st and 4th amendments. It's governmental abuse and anyone with any common sense knows that. Companies can't arrest me and throw me in jail indefinitely.
I deleted my 8yo account. It was right after someone downvoted me because pointed out something that broke with their opinion.

That kind of summed up my view Reddit. Groupthink circle jerks. Why was I part of any of that??
We don't know that, actually; you assume that the company has the data, and speculate that they interpret it correctly. But in practice, "customer loves using the app" and "customer puts up with the app but will replace it as soon as they find anything else" look the same right up until they don't, just as "high interaction" presents the same data as "app is disorganized and inefficient".
Python and the Legend of Zelda – By Gaz J – Gaz’s Thoughts
For those who would also think the same thing, what're some of the the tldr bulletpoints on why this is more complicated than it'd seem?
High interest rates are meant to lower inflation. That wouldn't reduce prices, but it would reduce the rate at which prices increase. It seems to be doing that. Also, the article is talking about the FED, so looking at the mortgages from a US perspective, they don't come up for renewal. If you planned on permanently low rates, then that sounds like you have mismanaged your mortgage decisions. Rates have been at historic lows, there isn't much room to go but up.
