I look out the window before I leave, and check my weather app. Maybe if I lived in Taiwan or something then I would want an app that notifies me when it's going to rain.
Im kinda wondering since the complete source is open and hosted and github (with current previews enabled) even has a usefull search - what is the actualy benefit?

Also if you are using goland (not everyone is i know thats why i pointed it out as second argument) you have the complete standard-lib lookup ready via the IDE.

Maybe im missing something and this is usefull but im coding go for several years now and dont see the point
On the night of December 26, Major Anderson's men were ordered to turn their overcoats to hide the military buttons and to take off their caps, so as to be taken for the civilian laborers who passed daily between Forts Sumter and Moultrie. The ruse was successful, a turncoat matter one might say. The act of soldiers posing as civilians in war historically has been viewed as an act of perfidy. With the ruse, Union troops took Fort Sumter without a shot fired. They had spiked the guns at Fort Moultrie and set fire to their carriages. Some at the time and later considered this clandestine move to Fort Sumter an act of war, the first in the coming conflict. US Secretary of War at the time, John B. Floyd, could not believe Major Anderson had made such a move, because there was no order for such an act. He asked the major to explain his action.

...

Finally, Lincoln acted. On March 29, he had sent a note to his secretary of war: “I desire than an expedition, to move by sea, be got ready to sail as early as the 6th of April next.” Despite many rumors of evacuation, Fort Sumter apparently was to be reinforced, a move expressly forbidden by Southern authorities after months of patient and unsatisfying negotiations regarding the evacuation of the fort. US Naval Captain Gustavus Fox, commanding the reinforcement expedition, was instructed to enter Charleston Harbor and send a boatload of provisions to Fort Sumter and to do no more, unless he was stopped or fired upon. In either of those cases, he was to try to force a passage, with the help of US Navy ships beyond the harbor, and supply the fort not only with provisions but also with troops.

You are changing the argument. No one here said that either.

Aside from that, you are still wrong, as per cmh89's comment.
Yes, other states as well, such as mentioned in the article:

> The sheriff’s office has specialized in and perfected the practice, known as civil asset forfeiture, despite a 2016 law meant to ban it in Nebraska.

Other laws have either passed, not been passed, or are being written in other states. I’m not going to dig up more citations for a dead thread buried in the HN archives—it is easy enough to find out about these laws being passed. If you can’t find information on Wikipedia, you will have to look elsewhere. I know traditional news sources carry stories about legislation, so I recommend starting there.
I don’t think the flat’ers are happy about it all either, but what would you do if your future was either a hopeless grind or some degree of comfort? Booms are followed by busts, in the mightiest booms the future gets bought and sold as far as the eye can see and the stakeholders demand delivery at the expense of those who come along after. Sometimes you show up too late, reject the deal, and catch the bust as your peers join you - you just have to wait it out until your time is better spent.

I’m thankful that I’m from a place with plenty of responsibility and land up for grabs, and that I stumbled into this industry.

From what I can tell from reading casually, growing up today in many parts of the USA, China, or Seoul, or even Europe is a real struggle to claim reputation, responsibility, and assets for yourself.
It's not just charging data obviously, it's all the car usage data. Where you go, how fast, with who... And yes, after a few years, the value of that data is worth more than the original profit they made selling the car itself. Its also recurring revenue, they don't even need to sell you a new car to keep making money.

Margins on hardware are so slim, it doesn't take much surveillance to double or triple the profit a manufacturer makes over the lifespan of an object. You thought IoT was about customer convenience?

What do you hope is gained from this information? The comment was never directed at you, so any difficulty you are having in understanding it is of little consequence.
A lot of employees don’t understand what’s involved in being a business owner, building a Rolodex, the 100 nos for every yes, etc. So they think the owners (or partners) do nothing. But in reality, they’re getting paid for years of building relationships with clients, etc. There’s also what I call bathing in shit: having to work with people you detest, and having to do unethical things (which I still struggle a lot with)

Yes someone is going to bring up an edge case where someone lucked out by being born into the right family. But in most cases it’s just the hard work over time, with a mix of risk taking.

As something who’s spent years trying to build those relationships, I truly appreciate it.
Opposite of this:

>For all the promise of control and customization SD boasts, Midjourney beats it hands down in sheer quality.

The results are comparable, but MJ in this comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36409043 hallucinates more (look at the roofs in the second picture). And it cannot be fixed, maybe except for an upscale making it a bit more coherent. Until MJ obtains better tooling (which it might in the next iteration), it won't be as powerful. I'm not even starting on complex compositions, which it simply cannot do.

>OP posts results from a tuned model.

Yes, which is the first step you should do with SD, as it's a much smaller and less capable model.

Migraines from food after the use by date sounds like a strong psychosomatic effect. If you'd say upset stomach or diarrhea ok, but I'm not sure how it would trigger a migraine except psychologically.

I'm not saying this to be dismissive. These effects can be incredibly strong, I could not eat pork cutlets for years after I had an extremely strong migraine when I ate one. After my body associated the smell and taste with it and noped out every time I got close to one.
I really really really want to play with robotics at home, but I've discovered it's super expensive to get things like robotic arms at home. Are there robotics platforms that are DIY ready? I really just want to teach a robotic arm to make my coffee in the morning. And I'll apply my life's effort to achieving this only if the cost of the robotics platform is stupid low.

Yes. I know that's absurd. :)
As far as I know, Tesla will still add CCS compatible adapters to the Supercharger network in the future, since it is a requirement for the EV network funding they're going after by opening up to additional manufacturers.

"Won't somebody think of the corporations?!"

The older I get, and the more I work on aspects of trying to build businesses, products, and services, the more I lament the loss of a kind of service-oriented ethos that truly makes societies great and that seems to only be "refreshed" (in America, in particular) by the darkest of times*. Here, I think of the people who went through the first half of the 20th century in comparison to the MBAs and similarly naively "optimizing" agents elsewhere in important / controlling positions in current society.

Game theory 'says' that anyone can choose D(efect)-heavy strategies, and in many environments, profit heavily, personally (aka, "The only rules that really matter are these: what a man can do and what a man can't do..."). But, a society with too many such players is not long for this world.

> Are you saying you can build a modern desktop without any binary blobs? Full control of all firmware (including the CPU microcode and things like Intel ME)? What about WiFi cards? I'd say that hasn't been true for at least 20 years.

Not exactly.

What I mean is the average x64 Intel/AMD device is relatively much more "controllable" than an equivalent smartphone, assuming decent BIOS/UEFI options are provided. If I want to customize the looks with rainmeter, or even system-level tweaks (eg mactype), it's relatively trivial on desktop OSes (possibly excluding recent locked-down MacOs versions). I can even jump between Windows and Linux and Hackintosh/MacOs and BSD as I have a "pretty decent" level of control.

A rooted android phone is also quite decent, however issues start creeping in the further you stray from what your manufacturer provided. It starts of with things like Widevine/DRM not playing nice (unless you have a Titan M chip or something similar), and the further you go (stock rom -> custom rom with gapps/microG -> deGoogled rom), the more painful it becomes to even use ""basics" like whatsapp.

I guess all this is a very roundabout way of saying that desktop OS is a first class citizen (mostly), while mobile OSes (which are necessary for booking an Uber/paying at the checkout POS/navigating with Google Maps with turn-by-turn nav) do not have other freedoms. And while the hardware absolutely exists for an arm board to do it all with the right daughterboards, doing mobile stuff on a desktop is impossible, and doing desktop stuff on mobile is limiting thanks to software.
It does, but smart cars can use pretty simple math to work out how old your gas is and burn gas as needed to keep the age of your gas low enough.
Gold is pretty volatile too. Its price has gone up and down between 5x and 10x a few times in just the past century: https://www.macrotrends.net/1333/historical-gold-prices-100-... -- no one sane would call it stable. And yet, despite its volatility, gold has been used as a store of value for millennia.
I think the important thing is the trajectory. Is it getting better over time, or worse? It seems like a lot of software eventually hits a peak and starts a long, slow decline -- especially internet services and social media platforms.
You literally just showed a 40% price difference between the two. Now add 10-12% state income tax on top.

The will to fight is also a finite resource in war. There was also no material way that North Vietnam or the Taliban could prevail in a straight up fight; the strategy in all these cases was to inflict enough death and destruction that the United States would give up and sue for peace.
The overwhelmingly most valuable (and difficult) part of copilot is the work done by openAI. You're acting like you single handedly built it.

I can't stand working with people like you, classic main character syndrome.
Thank you for creating copilot. It's a great achievement. Sad that you did not get the recognition you deserve and grifters stole it.
(2011) The old days when Amazon reviews carried information.
Seems like people are eager to attack you because you've shown a bit of arrogance, but if what you wrote is true then it's completely fair to feel frustrated about it. I sympathize with you. I used to feel this way about much much smaller achievements of mine.

Even though I don't use it personally, Copilot is a great tool and the bonus is laughable when you put it next to the impact it had on how people write code. For me lesson learned was that in order to spend your career in a good place and to save yourself months or years of time is to voice your concerns early and move on if all you hear are promises without any follow up.
> Like a legally binding agreement your employers would typically give you?

Yes. It's a contract specifying what both the employer and you are agreeing to.

> Like does it guarantee you a job for a certain amount of time, or how does it work?

It can, if that's what you and the employer agree should be in it. It's just a contract like any other. They usually include when your employment will start, what your compensation is, what your duties are, and so forth.

They often also contain noncompete/nondisclosure agreements, agreements on copyright assignments, what happens when your employment ends, and so forth. I'm guessing that most people here have signed them, but perhaps weren't aware that's what they were or that the terms can be negotiated.

Typically, my negotiations involve removing the noncompete. Also, the terms very often include wording to the effect that anything I create during the term of my employment belongs to the company regardless of whether or not company resources/knowledge were used. I always have that removed.

> If the renege on it, can you sue them...?

Sure, just like any other contract. Although most of the ones I've signed have contained arbitration clauses. I've never bothered to try to negotiate those out.

> can I ask what field/vertical you work in?

I'm just a regular software engineer. I've worked for Fortune 500 companies, small companies, startups, and things in between. I'm a generalist currently working on industrial control systems, but prior to that I was in data security. But I've worked in a variety of different sectors over the decades.
With the company's president as one of the passengers this is a rare example where "skin in the game" didn't offer much insurance (or assurance).

I just wanted to clarify one small point, because I threw around the term "core competency" which shifted your attention from the product to the people trying to make it happen. Let me reframe, because in that moment, I was definitely talking about the secret sauce aka the reason people would want to come to your event.

If you opened a store advertising "the tastiest yams", you would not hire an external operator to source yams. It's not because you can't learn how to buy yams at wholesale - anyone can do that, if they put in the time. It's because your customers believe that you have a superior opinion when it comes to yams, and they are effectively delegating the role to you because they want to gain access to yams that they could never buy directly even if they learned a bit about yam logistics themselves.

Never outsource your yam tasting. To do so would be to suggest that you have no particular insight into the yams that you're buying, and so there's no reason for them to keep you in the loop.
The problem is that Mastodon puts a second filter bubble on top of the old who-do-I-follow filter bubble. Except this additional filter bubble isn't controlled by yourself.
I refer to it as hippof*cking when two or more large vehicles are blocking both lanes of traffic.

Usually doesn't bother me as much, and if I had adaptive cruise I'd be even less unbothered, but it can be annoying.

RVs are like moving rental trucks, the drivers of them don't really know what they're doing.
I have to agree that the difference is very subtle, a bit akin to as if "a -> b -> c" is not "a -> (b -> c)". On the other hand, this difference rarely matters, except in memo cases, where it can be used for a pretty cool effect.
> According to the court documents, in a 2018 case, OceanGate employee David Lochridge, a submersible pilot, voiced concerns about the safety of the sub.

2018; this would make it the previous model, no? Not the same submarine that went missing. At least that's the impression I get from this article (2020): https://www.geekwire.com/2020/oceangate-raises-18m-build-big...

> "That meant the Titanic trips — which had been planned at first for 2018, then 2019, then 2020 — had to be put off until mid-2021. By that time, Rush expects the new submersibles to be ready to enter service."

It's my impression that one of those "new submersibles" is the one that's lost.
When I had to learn golang, picking up the syntax was easy, but it has many gotchas that you end up having to spend time to learn them anyway, which don't exist in Java (e.g. the Java compiler requires final or effectively final vars to be passed into lambdas, golang happily complies ending up with race conditions).

I don't see why learning language features is an issue. The language offers features to provide more correct and more expressive code.

golang does not solve the variable vs reference issue at all by the way, and in fact, introduces weird edge cases, such as nil interface not being equal to nil.

Why do you say Strings not easy to understand?
Very cool! didn't know about these
Electronic ones, yes. I have a couple of AEG/Carrera ones with daisywheels.
I wouldn't be so sure, that its a user side issue since CORS is handled on the backend. That is in your server config, explicitly allowing https://secure.hulu.com to access https://www.hulu.com as an example.

That said its likely a bug and nothing nefarious. Not to diminish that this is a really severe issue that you should raise to customer support, who likely has ways of cancelling for you.
It's a public company though, you can be an investor too. In fact you are probably given stock awards that over time would make you a ton of money in the long run.

When my friends started working at MS 15 years ago they were getting stock awards at a 20-40 dollar per share price... now those shares have gone up substantially in value (~10x in that time). It's not quit your job and never work again money, but it's definitely enough to afford a big down payment on a home.
I'm open-minded here but why would we ban all farming in California? My understanding is that farming can be done economically and environmentally friendly, it's just moreso the scale that is the problem. I'd like to see more independent farmers throughout California and the country as a whole if possible.
The problem is obvious though, isn't it? Our current infrastructure simply cannot handle a ton of EV's all wanting to charge up all day long - as is done currently with gas stations all over the country.

It'll take decades to bring our infrastructure up to where it needs to be to support this - yet people act like we're already there. Some states still struggle just to keep the lights on during major parts of the year...
He was "responsible for safety of all crew and clients". So, he voiced that the sub wasn't safe. He was doing his job. If he hadn't been fired maybe he would've been able to enact changes to prevent a disaster, so I disagree that being fired was an ideal outcome. Being fired is only an ideal outcome if you believe that Lochridge wasn't trying to enact change but only to avoid liability. I don't see a reason to such cynical view.
Aye, in the future your ability to be creative and loquacious may do more for you when there is an AI interpreting your inputs.

Someone is going to have to tweak that AI but it may be more like a handful of highly-skilled and razor-sharp AI surgeons instead of legions of hackers.

The part that says you shouldn't take outputs from their models to build datasets for training competitor models.

Outputs from models that they trained on stolen ebooks, unpaid reddit data, data scraped from millions of websites without credit, etc. Sort of like stealing a bike and then getting mad that it got stolen again later, because it was clearly rightfully yours.

This is HN, a reply that rewords "just don't be sad" into a turgid essay of meandering variables and equations will shoot to the top or close to it.

I am sometimes surprised that so many fall into producing and consuming this overblown, dense, turgid content, however then I look around and see that there exists an absolute deluge of essays on the misogyny of Gone Girl, and then I kind of understand how it's just the nature of a good chunk of humans to produce and consume such essays.

Even this is one such example...
Worth noting they use the controller to steer the periscope, not the sub. A component failure there has a significantly smaller risk to human life.
