Only MachineLearning was worthwhile but now it’s dark. But honestly the signal/noise is far better on HN even for ML related topics.
I typically associate in-app video ads with C-tier mobile games that are a few steps removed from a click farm. None of those has a home on my device.

I’m glad and feel lucky to live in a city with good public transportation, guess I can go back to the old call restaurant and pickup order method in peace now.

It also seems that they are planning on adding tablets to the cars to play ads? We’ve come full circle to taxis…

No, they get the new number.

The way the update services is work is that you send them the card type, card number, and expiration date of a card you have on file, and they respond typically with one of these four responses:

1. Still good.

2. The account is closed.

3. The card is still good but has a new expiration date, which is YYMM.

4. The account has a new card. The card number is XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX and the expiration date is YYMM.
Now bring this policy to the States.
"Planning" is the word normally used.
Probably the same problems that are making (rail) infrastructure building 10x more expensive in the US than in Europe.

It's not that the knowledge is inaccessible, the problem is that the not-invented-here syndrome compounded by administrative red-tape, powerful counter lobbies and greedy actors make those projects prohibitively expensive.
One very common task we have is writing and maintaining ETL scripts. This was never a particularly difficult task, just time consuming and normalized enough that I could outsource it.

It's not that chatgpt can do the whole task, it's just that I can do it myself much faster now. Paying somebody to set up a new source that is consistent with our protocol is just too expensive relative to the 1-2 hours it takes me to do it myself now.

I don't think ETL is special at all in this way.

It is also just much, much, easier to learn today. Previously, I might have hired a developer to handle the UI side of a new project. I have about 15 years of experience building ML apps and while I have spent a good amount of time building UI, it just didn't make sense for me to do it myself after factoring in the relearning time.

With chatgpt I can create a really nice, functional, deployed UI very quickly even factoring in learning time, with much less of the frustration, miscommunication and Cost involved in working with other people.

Yeah you’re right. I find a body in the mall, I’m not going to mall security; I’m going to the murder police.

Then they have taken too much debt. And deserve to fail.

A well run company only takes debt when return on investing it is larger than the interest and paying it back. Thus being able to use leverage for profits on net.

On other hand modern finance system with many public company is often short term idiotic one where debt is used to pay out to investors... Exactly like PE does...

Redundancy generally costs more to maintain not less.

Weird that they should call it a “ban”, as though there’s a legal aspect to it, or as if it applies to entities beyond the company’s direct control. Aren’t they just stopping it?

Not sure if it’s related to the fact thay they’re excluding state-sponsored gambling from the “ban”.
You can nuke your watch history or say "Not Interested."
Yeah, reading this to see what the evidence is, it all comes down to "anonymous State Department sources", and some informed speculation from people in the field. I don't actually think an accidental lab leak is all that unlikely, but I'm also not being presented with any evidence for it.

As I started my studies, I tried to develop a little Android game. It took way longer than expected, being also very frustrating from start to finish. I kept working on it for a couple of months, set up a Google Play account, created some images for the Play Store, and then released it. As expected, it didn't get much traction, but I felt very proud and happy about it. Would recommend! :)

The best way to reduce carbon emission from cement would be to use less of it.

Here in the UK, 30% of the cost of a new house build is the foundations, the excavation, and then filling of a hole in the ground with many tons of concrete. I find it baffling how little innovation in construction has been adopted by the house building industry here. Light weight timber frame construction on pile foundations would massively reduce both the carbon footprint of the build and the cost.

When I have made these arguments before, people often respond that our heavy weight brick construction is better as it withstands the weather more, and will last longer. But with modern materials (or good old traditional maintenance) thats just not true, a timber frame house can last hundreds of years.

Finally, it's not just the carbon emissions from cement manufacturing that worries me. I live about 3 miles from a cement factory, and the amount of dust that it puts out is staggering. If I clean my car, within two days it's covered in a thin layer of dust thats locally attributed to the factory. I can't imagine thats good for our health!

Yes i highly doubt the validity of his statement. My calorie intake is around 2500 a day to maintain a weight of around 70kg (with some excerise). If i wanted to gain 2kg of weight id have to consume around 10000 excess calories over a period of two weeks.

I have also many times lost 2kg over a period of a few weeks by simply being lazy to calculate my calorie intake while excersising more than usual. Gaining weight takes ridiculously more effort for me than losing weight.

'Nature' does the same, for 50 and 100 years ago. A recent issue has the prediction from 1973 that beef wouldn't be eaten by the year 2000 because of the production inefficiencies, and a 1923 review of a book about cryptography. I've been reading Nature on and off for about 40 years. When I started, the '100 years' ago pieces were from the late 19th C, and often conjured up an image of amateur gentlemen scientists writing letters to learned societies in London, very different from today.

[Edit] 40 years rather than 35. Doesn't time fly!

Yep, that’s how things are done with my colo. Real papers. Real signatures. I don’t need to send any letters to spin up a vm though. I just click a button. For new servers, I walk in and plug it in.
I understand gambling and cigarette advert bans, but how does a fossil fuel advertising ban help in this case exactly? It's not like we can stop using fossil fuels completely right now. So it seems like hypocritical virtue signalling.

This post is the programmer equivalent of teenage girls posting photos of themselves captioned with "I'm so ugly" to farm praise from their friends.

^ What they said. (I was terse on my way to bed yesterday.)

The big benefit of `!` is that, like anything else in visual mode, it works with motion operators. I often write fragments of shell, e.g. to generate something repetitive, and run it with `!!` (doubling for the current line, same as things like `dd` or `yy`), `!}` (block), or `!G' (rest of file).

Me neither.

All of these things involve tradeoffs. Multiple repos vs monorepo highly depends on your organization. Microservices vs monolith has been discussed to death. A simple, locally-driven deploy process is great for solopreneurs but doesn't scale to full companies. Load balancers might be required depending on your availability requirements. Storing all your data on disk is easier than maintaining a database, but aside from performance bottlenecks, it's harder to define a recovery process (RTO/RPO) in the case of a hardware failure. And as much as I dislike them, there are ease-of-use benefits in using dynamically-typed languages.

The biggest technical challenge in most software engineering roles today is evaluating the pros and cons of these types of choices and choosing the right one for your situation.
You only believe this until you've had/needed a great manager.
Timely. Last weekend I took my IP apart to replace the thermal fuse which had failed while I was making dinner. My impression is (apart from the thermal fuse not being the "reset" type), it's a very well constructed piece of kit. Everything inside was clearly safe, put together properly, plenty of insulation where needed, wiring to spec, metal parts earthed correctly, cleanly laid out PCB. And it cost me only £100.
That presents problems navigating tight corners where tractor trailers already have difficulty. I see some trailers where the position of the wheels can be adjusted. I wonder if that is for weight distribution or for the roads planned to be driven.
The problem is, there is very weak scientific evidence of these links and yet here we are swinging the legislative ban hammer already.

There are very legitimate reasons to prefer gas stoves. They're not just in apartments because "LOL screw teh Poorz!!! Let them die of the ASTHMAS!!!"

Gas heats up considerably faster, allows for more rapid cooking temperature changes, is considerably cheaper to operate in many localities, and is actually relatively clean burning compared to most fossil fuels. Go see what any world class chef outfits their kitchens with. It's almost always gas.

There's an ulterior motive here. Why not just legislate that gas appliances be properly vented? Surely if gas stoves were as dangerous as they say the elites would not outfit their kitchens with them. None of this sudden war on gas appliances passes the smell test.

Not smart enough for all this, but probably still aware enough of all these issues to find a method that works and actually ship stuff. And I suspect oblivious enough to document their process properly.

After glancing through this, I can confidently say this is the “Rust, The Good Parts” I’ve been waiting for. I really appreciate the simple explanation for all “whys”.

Most folks like me that are doing application programming don’t need Rust’s full feature set. You can benefit from type safety/performance/etc even with a subset of the language.

And in doing so, you are greatly enhancing the readability and on-boarding experience for those new to Rust. This realization isn’t new, it was/is widely regarded as a best practice for C++ (readability over conciseness).

Creating a positive lab culture (2020)

This is super cool. After seeing the Ben Eater videos and marvelling at just how much results the 90s era DOOM games etc. managed to get out of super limited hardware, it makes me want to purposefully program my applications for super limited devices like the 6502 or RPI Pico or a 386-based PC.

But it's a tug of war between desire to have the option to run my programs on such ancient hardware (which will be blazing fast on modern hardware! I say to myself) and my desire to use familiar toolkits and try for cross-platform gains where I can get them (build the codebase once and just throw it and a crappy front end on my phones and my windows PCs and my linux PCs too and my .... etc.)

so something that bridges the modern workflows I admire like BDD comprehensive test suites but targets old school hardware like the 6502 is catnip for me.
This article sadly passes over one of the most important features of vim, which is its ability to work as an ascii art editor.

To begin, open a new buffer and create your canvas: "99i<space><Esc>yy99pgg0". This will make a buffer of 99x99 space characters.

To draw horizontally, press shift-R to enter Replace mode, similar to overwrite mode in Word. To fill rectangular areas, use control-v to select the first corner, use motions to select the second corner, then r<character> to replace the block with what you need. To copy and paste areas of your art, use y and p on areas you select with visual block mode. If anyone else has any tips please let me know.
I think your guess seems plausible, although maybe it was simply an effort to widen the beam to better match the graphics? The lightning effect is rather wide and it may have been surprising for the player if the hitbox ended up too narrow.

I haven't played Quake in the better part of 20 years so I can't comment from first hand experience, but judging by your top-down view at around 41 seconds, the single beam visually seems to intersect with a bunch of enemies while not dealing any damage (probably as a combination of narrow hitboxes on both the beam and the enemies).
The idea is that, the derivative came after the virtuoso. Of course what came after is more complex costs more takes more is more impressive blah blah. Dismissing those that thought the thought or solved for a problem before it was, is such a dumb thing people do.

Well how could one build better youtube recommendation engines? Pour moi, typing in "Lou Reed Sweet Jane" won't suffice.

I've been developing my home automation stuff recently. I have a esp32 calling home over wifi about every minute, and I wanted to try a battery version. I just happened to have two rechargable AA and a AA battery holder.

You're very correct the wifi is a huge drain. I configured it to go into sleep mode between measurements and I was able to get 3x the life out of it, but for 2 AAs without a real battery circuit, it just meant about 36 hours.

I'm excited for the zigbee/matter chips, I'd like to really get power down so I can embed sensors in things like guitar cases.

> How can you store program state on disk like that? You'd need serialization and deserialization.

You need serialization and deserialization when interacting with a DB, too. You're trusting a library to do most of that for you. This is the difference between a junior engineer and a senior engineer. As a junior engineer, you don't trust your own judgement and use a library. As a senior engineer, you don't trust the library writer's judgement, so you write it yourself.
I'm quite surprised by this. What brand is your rice cooker? I can't believe the IP would beat a good Japanese or Chinese rice cooker.
I think the main reason people become less worried about chatGPT is because of its hallucinations and inability to have actual intelligence (there may be “sparks” of intelligence, but nothing crazy impressive). Also, AI systems replacing engineers is unlikely to happen for a while until we can reach AGI just because of all the nuances and the nature of the work we do requires a lot more than pulling data from a bunch of sources and outputting a response in a formatted way. I think people don’t really understand what is going on under the hood so it makes sense why people are so worried, it is seemingly very intelligent, but still doesn’t have the intelligence to know how to apply what it “knows”. We’ve made a lot of progress so far but I think we are going to hit a wall very soon if we haven’t already. I don’t think people should be worried about GPT8 even.
