once again, we confuse a simple majority as being the wishes of the community. that's just not true. so unless the votes were >90% in favor of banning, there's always going to be someone's morals being forced upon others.
look at my user name, I feel that feel

And if you happen to live in one of these areas and do drink then what? Sell your house and move or add a lot of onerous hassle in having to go to the next county over to get booze? Giving counties the power to be puritanical little enclaves only works theoretically if you imagine people are self sorting into their communities on an ideological basis, which is much less common than people think.
With Trapped Waves, Researchers Resolve a Longstanding Debate
Everyone saying "This isn't a speedup, this is VSCode stopping being dumb" hasn't read carefully enough:

The speedup is from taking extension code built on a limited API and implementing it inside VSCode, using more information while doing so.
I hate to break it to you but people do exactly this in the form of grossly over-engineered solutions with fancy design docs that impress the right people at the right time.
I remember a phrase I heard on my martial arts class after many years of training: "Don't be afraid of bitter work" It really hit home when our main motto was and is "We Wei" Effortless effort.
If you were experiencing a severe emergency and received delayed care as a result of a self-driving car misbehaving - would you feel the same way?

As you lay there bleeding out would you think "I have contributed to human progress - this is good"

I believe there are ways to advance self-driving without these problems. Why can't they have a 1800 number staffed 24/7 for fire departments to contact?
Indeed. Thanks for clarifying.

To be clear, the bans began in 07/08, and expired at the start of this year. After a short time without the ban, it was reinstated in February
I'm really confused by your attitude that a company giving out a quality free service is some kind of abusive orphanage owner giving out slop to kids here. Like, are you against them making money off of this? This isn't Netflix cutting off shared accounts and ramping up the price every year. This isn't Amazon swindling people into signing up for Prime. This is a company that sells product A also deciding to sell a complimentary product B that they think will help them continue to sell product A at a good price.

If you think this is "well the company should die then" territory, I'm not sure how that's a consistent way to interact with modern capitalism at all. Almost every company has loss-leaders or cross-marketing or vertical/horizontal integration. If we're bailing on companies and services at the first encroachment of them maybe seeking to be more profitable, then I have bad news about ads on Hacker News...
It would also be easier if offices weren't such an unpleasant place to be and work.

> Vapor Mode will only support a subset of Vue features. In particular, Vapor Mode components will only support Composition API and <script setup>. However, this supported subset will work exactly the same between Vapor and non-Vapor components.

> Building an app with only Vapor components allows you to drop the Virtual DOM runtime from the bundle, significantly reducing the baseline runtime size.

This seems like a clear push in the direction of Solid and Svelte in this area.
I wish people criticising vscode's slowness would give faster options. It can't be any Jetbrains ide because I've used them all and they can be slow as hell, and buggy especially when pulling new changes. No wonder they are playing catch up with vscode with their fleet ide.
Yeah I get global warming

What I don’t get is how 3 years is unusually long if the average is 2-7 years

(And I really do think I’m missing something important but can’t quite pull the fact out of the neurons I think it’s in. Idk why I’m downvoted through the floor, seems like a real reach to read it as climate skepticism)
It unexpectedly lost communications about 2 hours into its decent. That is a possible/probable point in time where something went wrong.
I have intention to understand ideas underlying different editors and how to progress creating the next editor of course taking best features of all already existing ones.

Awesome. Another next editor, also amalgamating the "best features" (surely, something trivial to objectively measure /s) of all that have come before. Guaranteed to make all of us troglodytes opine "how could I have wasted my life editing text with stone tools like 'vi'...all is dust now".

I guess it's that time of the week.

IMO...people don't choose an editor because it has the most checkboxes in the 'cool feature' column; most people use the editor they got used to (for many reasons) and invested in learning. Outside of navel-gazing, things like modal v non-modal aren't something to be proven 'best' or 'worse', they're 'what you are used to'. For a lot of us, we're used to vi. For others (the heretical ones), it's emacs. I hear there are others. Changing editors, relearning all those habits, is hard, or at least time consuming. I guess there are people who switch editors like socks (or fad programming languages), but I can't imagine taking that kind of downtime from real work.

For me, I've been using a vi-ish editor since the mid-80s. It's second nature, muscle memory for 90% of my text-slinging needs, most efficient for me at getting text out of my head and into the computer, and mostly just out of my way. I'm not going to switch to another editor because it has shiny new 'abstractions', because it has a cooler scripting language, and gawd knows not because of what anyone on youtube thinks. If you create a better 'vi', which works exactly like my brain/fingers expect 'vi' to work, but somehow rocks my world better than the incumbent, then maybe I'll take a peek. Otherwise, don't be surprised if the reaction is something like "oh...new buzzword packed editor that doesn't work like the one I use every day. Quaint. Have fun with that.".
>Is math going to become more important for software engineers in general, as AI is adopted in to more and more aspects of the SDLC, even if said engineers aren't working directly on the AI systems themselves?

I'm definitely not any authority on the matter -- also self taught, but I don't think so.

Having a conceptual understanding of the math is probably a really good idea, but I imagine there's quite a bit that can be hidden behind an api that you can essentially say "does xyz by means of magic".

I imagine this winds up creating three distinct roles:
- Focusing on improving the model's usefulness
- Focusing on implementing the model for optimal performance
- Focusing on using the model within a larger application

I say "creating", but I imagine this is also probably roughly the current status quo.
It also opens you up to large scale harassment and witch hunts.

Yes, but it seems here that the regulators are bending over backwards to dole out permits for these vehicles without bothering to think about the externalities. Still, one would think that 1) the operators could be charged with obstruction of emergency services and/or 2) they could be sued for damages in the civil court.
>The WFH supporters just seem a bit... louder.

What's probably true is that a lot of people who want to be remote really want to be remote. They also recognize that remote hasn't been anything like the norm for office workers until COVID.

Whereas, a lot of the people who want to (mostly flexibly) come into an office, more mildly prefer the change in scenery and mingling with co-workers. While some might prefer more of their co-workers to come in, they may well work with people at other sites anyway so it's not really a big deal is all/most of their co-workers come it.
This is odd timing with Rich Harris just releasing a course on Svelte v3 on Frontend Masters (June 12th 2023).

https://frontendmasters.com/courses/svelte-v2/

From the migration there does appear to be some breaking changes, don't know how that aligns with the course which I planned to take.

His old course was good as well, but that relied on Sapper.

There is a third option that most people don’t seem to know about, which is to slow down to speed up. I find there are many instances where if I slow down I not only accomplish more, but the things I work on are more important. It can be really hard to get in this mindset, and even harder to know if you need to actually be putting in more effort/hours. But by and large, taking breaks and getting enough sleep can actually be a superpower.
> gave everyone a private office in the office?

That would eliminate about 75% of what I hate about working in an office. Cubes are hell. The only hell worse than that is an open office layout.
I wonder if U.S. agencies (e.g. the Navy) had picked up the sound of the implosion days ago, back when the Titan was said to have lost communication, and knew all this time that the Titan had likely already been destroyed. But there's no incentive for them to publicly say anything, as it would hint to their underwater surveillance capabilities. And the "rescue effort" is good practice for their crews.

I watched most of the press conferences and don't think I heard anyone ask about it. But hearing loud noises across thousands of miles is certainly within the U.S. military's capability.
You hiring remote? Sounds great compared to my heavy management job
Well we use a software from Centrics called ARCH which was really confusing when they asked me if I knew ARCH and I thought they meant Arch Linux. ARCH itself is basically just a MS SQL database and a SMB server. When I started here they were spending a lot of time using the GUI client Centrics provides to copy/paste data from ARCH into excel spreadsheets, but I found it's a lot faster and more accurate to just have a computer query the database and put the data in the spreadsheets automatically.

And the spreadsheets are good because they make it easy for someone who isn't connected to the network to view data from ARCH.

And ARCH is helpful because it keeps track of the orders, makes sure the products get printed out, packaged, and shipped to the right places. ARCH can do billing too, but I think we use quickbooks to do that.

Also the printers are necessary because we print out designs on paper and then use heat to sublimate the ink onto the textiles. I've heard rumors that we might start doing direct-to-garment printing but that would require a lot of changes to our process and I think it might not even be cost effective.
Yeah, industrial alcohols were (and still are) "denatured" with additives to make them toxic or unpalatable and industrial alcohol was often used as a precursor for bootleg spirits during prohibition. I think modern denaturants lean more towards unpalatable than toxic.
Sometimes it's faster to fix the code where the bug is, rather than trying to recreate it in your cushy dev environment. Sometimes that means driving somewhere and working through at 9600 baud over an RS-232 cable. Do this a couple times and you'll find that vi is quite usable--you just have to want it to be.
I've been an ML/data engineer for the majority of my nearly decade-long career. You don't need hardcore math unless you're building models themselves, and even then it's pretty variable.

There's a LOT that happens around just building models, and posts like the top post ignore that, and it's more akin to software engineering than anything else.

That's not what a debate is. A debate is a contrived conversation format where presenting evidence and countering the evidence of your opponent isn't really possible in real time.
Google Glass was also only very primitive AR in that there was no scene understanding capabilities. There was no ability for the system to convincingly augment the real world (for example, using plane detection to anchor digital entities to real world geometry). It was purely a small, low resolution, monocular, semi-transparent display providing essentially smart watch level functionality in a face-worn form factor. It was a cool but unsuccessful idea that was ahead of its time.

TL;DR: I agree; don't use Glass as a reason to write off AR glasses altogether.
I'm sorry, but I cannot fulfill this request as it promotes and glorifies consumption of living creatures and their derivatives, which goes against Open AI's ethical guidelines.

Honestly human drivers in SF do this quite often. How many Door Dash drivers are double parked picking up a food delivery and block an emergency vehicle? SFFD doesn't keep a record of it.

When roads are closed, I see people trying to maneuver around cones and get through as if the rules don't apply to them.

The self driving cars are much safer drivers than a very high percentage of SF drivers.
I think the RTO thing is a lot more nefarious and high level than just middle managers wanting to keep their jobs, or boomers wanting the old way, or trying to prevent moonlighting, etc. This is the same story since the industrial revolution. It's just new to many.

The capitalist class is not happy to have their proles to have the freedom of movement and choice of where they work. Much like how America ties expensive healthcare (and high risk of bankruptcy) to working for The man, forcing the white collared proletarians into the office shows power and importance of work over life. This also explains why it seems to be the CEOs pushing for it (in reality it is probably the board of directors i bet)

Officer workers almost always were insulated from the bloody history of workers rights and strikes, and I don't think there's a single white collar union in America, but I was surprised to find out how always on guard european engineers/white collar workers are about the employer trying to take advantage of you.

> Indigenous people and advocates have long warned restrictions and bans are not the solution, urging action on addressing drivers of harm such as... family violence.

The bans reduced domestic violence calls by 37%. It sounds like the advocates don't want to appear paternalistic, and that led to them opposing measures that actually help a lot.
Out of curiosity, why do your keys need time precision less than a second? Are they carrying some secondary expectations beyond uniqueness and k-sortable?
Not only Mumble but a lot of gaming people were using Skype, especially with matchmade games like league of legends and starcraft. Mumble was nice for pre-arranged party lines but extremely lacking for the 'contact this person I just met' use case.

I use disk partitioning to logically separate my files. This helps reduce the sizes of my backups and excludes system files from indexing/searching.

For example, WizFile and WizTree are two very useful programs that work best with files organized by partitions.

My partitioning strategy looks like this:

- C: Windows/system

- D: data I want in backups (Windows desktop/documents/user directories have been moved here)

- V: variable data that is either temporary or does not need frequent backups (Dropbox, Google drive, etc). Also most program files (installed via scoop)

Other types of OS/FS may not need partitions to accomplish this.
Planned Parenthood isn't in the "abortion industry." The vast majority of its work is supplying birth control, STD testing, cancer screening, and a bunch of general health care for women and poor families. They're the ones that happen to have expertise working with adoption agencies, not pregnancy crisis centers.

Almost half of Planned Parenthood's funding comes from the government via Medicaid and due to the Hyde Act, none of it can even be used for abortions. Most of the rest of their funding is literally for family planning. It's in the name!

Next time you or a partner need some sort of reproductive services, whether that's condoms, an STD test, or prenatal vitamins, you can go to Planned Parenthood and get it for free nationwide. The only reason to go to your GP and use your insurance is its faster and the results go directly to your doctor.
"It imploded right away" explains everything.

"It imploded later" requires at least two failures, first of power/comms, and THEN of the structure itself.

It's kind of a tooling problem; no reason tooling can't do the same as git and display "1509af9" instead of "1509af9af2634d16f8d9b98e01a0166a49185474".

Also I wish these sort of things would get encoded in base-36 (0-9 a-z) instead of base-16; that would help too.
I get scolded for to many ifs haha.
I think performance complaints about vscode are either from bad extensions/too many OR poor system resources.

When I first started my current job, they gave me a laptop that was under specced due to the high performance laptops being back ordered.

Vscode performed really poorly, but so did everything else. MS teams was the worst offender by far. I had to close every other application in order to join a meeting, lol

Who knew that having 100% CPU and 100% ram usage would slow applications down...
I was explaining what the workflow in question is, not claiming that is was unique to Vim necessarily.
Could be. The baffling thing is there doesn't seem to be much consideration by those community leaders for how different these mediums are. It would be like if HN converted overnight into an IRC server or mailing list. Those formats just don't make any sense given the context.

I dunno, people complain about maintaining a forum software stack, so maybe that's where this stems from. Could be a market worth trying to capture, a 5 minute deploy that truly requires no maintenance ever. And if you want it private, just set the robots meta to noindex, problem solved.
Hashes evenly distribute information regardless of the input. You will never have locality unless your dataset is so small that all of it can fit into a single cache line.

Your solution just doesn't really make any sense. The time ordered UUID suggested in the blog post makes way more sense.
Correction: Foundation _Series_ models
I think unfortunately a CPU from 2008 just isn't gonna cut it here. Single thread benchmarks core for core have risen about 4x since then, average core counts have risen 4x, and L3 caches were added. Probably SIMD instructions are a consideration here as well.

That being said I'm a huge fan of prioritizing longevity of computer parts versus constantly upgrading and generating e-waste.
This is exactly what I did years ago, and it's much closer to software engineering than building models (which a lot of commenters are conflating with MLE - but tbf the titles aren't delineated well in practice).
Seems likely, there's no point revealing classified capabilities in this context.
Internally your logic is flawless but I don't see how you can ignore the current delays caused by human driver traffic, not to mention the ambulance traffic created by human driver errors.
That's why "I couldn't find any HITs I could stand to do."

Personally many Turkers seemed to like my HITs when I was running them, mine were nice tasks like "write a caption for this picture of an animal", if you did quality work I paid a substantial bonus, you wouldn't get rich doing my HITs but I had no problem paying minimum wage, the thing was the rest of my business didn't scale so I only had so many to submit.
Ya sorry, poor wording on my part. What I meant was, if I use every trick in my arsenal, I can effectively go around a problem entirely and maybe reach 100x faster than when I was a fresh grad writing my own data structures by hand. Lately I've been dragging so badly though that I'm probably at 10% or even 1% productivity, negating my experience and putting me on par with my original inexperienced self, albeit with reduced effort.

Edit: my actual point was that if a person works along their natural tendencies, they'll probably be faster than if they have to fight their instincts (and take time to organize in this case), mainly because they might fall out of the zone
That isn’t happening in Alice Springs.
If you want locality, speed, simplicity, etc above all, use an incremented integer and be done with it.

UUIDs belong where you can't afford that simplicity. Where you e.g. cannot coordinate the creation of your primary keys. Or where you cannot allow them to be predictable. There you pay the price.

In practice I noticed that the size of PKs and their poor locality start to play a role only after a huge basket of lower-hanging fruit has been collected. There are relatively few places where their role is dramatic.
I use vscode for interactive python development with Jupyter notebooks and live markdown rendering, and developing on WSL on windows. Does sublime support that? Vscode has the advantage that virtually every programming language and functionality you can think of, it has a plugin for it. Does sublime have similar support?
I would argue, that as with any new product, the technology needs to be in the hands of both consumers and developers. If there is genuine value to be had, it will be found through the market as developers make stuff they think is cool, and the people vote with dollars and installs as to what they agree is cool. Apple threw a lot of stuff at the wall, providing different use cases, and those may be correct or incorrect. As usual, if people like something that an app developer made more than the Apple stuff, Apple will purchase the app developer's tech and integrate it. This isn't that complex a thing. Whether or not people ultimately want to strap a computer their faces is my biggest question. I have no desire to do so, but I am also not your average consumer.
