You're essentially proposing that people have to learn how to do tasks in a new way when using study drugs.

That's a very far-fetched claim. Do you have any evidence other than personal anecdotes?

It doesn't fit with anything I've ever read or experienced with these drugs.
For the most part (so no self-driving cars), startups are in a low-stakes game, so it makes sense to hack away, and it nas nothing to do with an "old guard." Google (or any other tech company) outages aren't particularly memorable unless you were an engineer involved in it. The space shuttle accidents were labeled "disasters."
That's luckily not relevant here. Multiple sources have independently confirmed the same rumors. This means that there is a significant probability of it being true.
Opera One tackles all the most important challenges: more attempts to implement vertical tabs in a worse way, more LLM wrappers in your face, and more naming collision with actually useful tech (when "crypto" for "cryptocurrency" is not enough, aka if you thought ARIA means web accessibility think again).
Terrible tips for a C++ developer – Part 8
I know this is an unusual strategy, but typically I want the people who drive faster than me to be as far in front of me as possible. That way when their terrible driving causes them to crash in a fiery explosion, I'm not anywhere near them.

And I want the people who drive slower than me to be as far behind me as possible. That way when their terrible driving causes them to crash in a fiery explosion, I'm not anywhere near them.

But I've never had much trouble getting the people who want to drive faster than me to go in front of me by just... letting them pass. Whereas the people who drive slower than me, now those are the assholes.

JavaFX supports a WebKit based WebView widget, but it's optional. If you don't use it it's not bundled. If you do then you pay the cost of including the WebKit build which is ~80mb.

In practice the need for WebKit is going down over time. For basic rich text you can render Markdown to JavaFX nodes directly, for more advanced stuff you could transform [X]HTML to FXML, you don't need it for video or audio, there's a native rich text / word processor control these days, and if you can do 3D graphics with a high level scene graph (meshes, lights etc) then you don't need HTML for 3D either.

Still, it's often useful and bandwidth/disk space isn't the problem it once was.
Plan 9 had many improvements over Unix of its times. It opened up too late to conquer the world though. Some good things from it were imported into Solaris and Linux later.

Technological progress likes to reinvent itself, looping back to the same idea that did not work last time, and maybe making it a hit finally. Two examples:

- Apple Newton, 1992 (a flop) -> Palm Pilot, 1997 (niche success) -> Apple iPhone, 2007 (world domination).

- Java Virtual Machine, 1994 (server-side world domination, a flop in the browser) -> Inferno OS, from the makers of Unix and Plan9, 1996 (a flop) -> WASM (prospects of world domination in the browser).

Ask HN: Why is there no GPS in the ocean?
I'm not an electrical engineer so please forgive my ignorance. I guess I could just ask ChatGPT but figured there may be a more interesting response here. Why can't the ocean have something like GPS? Also, if a nuclear submarine (those ones whose exact positions are classified) identified the location of this submersible, would they tell the relevant authorities? Or would they not, in order to protect their classified sensors and position?
I'd bet a 1000-piece mono-color puzzle that close to 50% of currently written software is done on those drugs.

What surprises me is that the tech crowd is so ready to bend over for one of the worst companies on the planet in the software domain. These are the very same people that abused the legal system in every way that they could in order to slow down the adoption rate of open source. They are still doing this today but quietly, for instance by incentivizing municipalities and other government layers to use their software (for free if necessary) just to stop adoption of equivalent open source solutions.
I think this is something well-known among high-achievers at school, but I knew some people at school who would just spend 36 hours straight doing all their assignments and still get bad marks. It was always this way for me: work for a few hours, take a break, (maybe a walk, chat with friends/roommates), make some (healthy) food, then get back to it. Staying up never helps, because you have to sleep anyway, and getting poor sleep just makes you work poorly: you can always get something done in the morning. I guess in the end whats most important is time management, making sure you have time to get exercise, socialize, eat right, and get all your assignments in on time and study enough for exams.

Having a good cohort, I think, is also important. A lot of friends of mine got Summa Cum Laude, honors etc., ended up doing PhD work at top universities. We all had a very similar work ethic and we were constantly bouncing shit off each other and debating and going out and having fun. The idea that good work requires suffering is nonsense: good work is joyful and passionate. Good work is doing something you care about and find deeply compelling. Good work is always, in the end, something you think is good for yourself. I think as long as you remember that you'll be happy and satisfied with whatever you choose to do.

It seems like a fairly reasonable study to me. I don't see how the study participants' possible lack of familiarity with the drugs diminishes the value of the data.

From the article: "Star performers during the placebo session fell to the bottom of the pack when they had taken the drugs."

That directly refutes your assertion they were doing a novel task for the first time.

We've built www.snaplet.dev to introduce the exact workflow that you're describing. Unfortunately we're PostgreSQL only at the moment.

We give you a serverless PostgreSQL database per branch in your code. [via Neon.tech]
Each time you branch your code we grab the latest snapshot of your production database which is de-identified and transformed [Transformations are via TypeScript] and a subset of the original.

If a coworker and yourself are coding against the same branch you're coding against the same database.

Your devs only run a single command `snaplet dev` and all this happens automatically in the background.

The backup camera requirement really shaped the auto industry. It meant all models needed a screen too. And that in turn meant that many cars used the same screen for other kinds of UI, replacing buttons and dials, and requiring a computer, software teams, etc.

What is weird is how competitive the open-source models are to the closed ones. For instance, PaLM-2 Bison is below multiple 12B models[0], despite it being plausibly much bigger[1]. The gap with GPT-4 is not that big; the best open-source model on the leaderboard beats it 30% of the time.

That's looking great! We're already experimenting with DevSpaces as our primary goal for the development process. What would you say are the main differences between devpod and DevSpace. Do they compliment each other? Should devpod at one time in the future displace DevSpace? Would love to get your view on that.
Looking at the `Educational values deemed by the filter` table on page 5, I can't help wondering whether compressibility might not be a usable proxy for educational value. High compressibility would imply low information content. High marginal compressibility when added to a large dataset would imply the information is already in there. This is basically Normalised Compression Distance all over again - it's only a rough proxy, but I guess the question is whether it could work at all, rather than is it as good as this result.

If that worked as a proxy value, you could sidestep needing GPT-4 at all.
> And then people would need to take those classes as well, and not just claim they can write React apps just fine without a degree.

Weird tangent. They can write React apps without a degree, can't they? What's wrong with that?

The amount of complexity reasoning you need for something like that is around "this part seems slow, maybe there's a better algorithm somewhere" or "that's a lot of nested loops, maybe I can do with less". Knowing more might help in some pretty rare cases but doesn't seem like a requirement. On the other hand, knowing the complexity of all algorithms and blindly assuming "good complexity = good performance" while never checking is a recipe for desaster.
Just the idea of context switching from mouse to keyboard is so annoying to me outside of graphic editing. I installed vinium for firefox recently and it has been a game changer.
What if the global variable has a greater scope than just a single TU? For simple variables of limited scope this approach would work but for more complex variables that are impacting multiple "modules" in the code it would introduce yet another code design problem to solve.
I was looking at various forms of indexing solutions to solve search and clustering problems with TerminusDB for clients. When I compared solutions against embeddings from LLMs, they LLMs were just far easier to work with and got much better results. I believe traditional text indexing will die quickly, as will a lot of the Entity Resolution and traditional clustering methods to be replaced completely by LLM's. We found them so compelling we wrote our own open source vector database sidecar: https://github.com/terminusdb-labs/terminusdb-semantic-index...

It may eventually have similar features with the same syntax; but the semantics will be slightly different (because the original Python semantics just aren't suitable for a compiled language). You won't be able to take existing Python code and just compile it as Mojo.

Possibly https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonobuoy:

“A sonobuoy (a portmanteau of sonar and buoy) is a relatively small buoy – typically 13 cm (5 in) diameter and 91 cm (3 ft) long – expendable sonar system that is dropped/ejected from aircraft or ships conducting anti-submarine warfare or underwater acoustic research.”

The microphone used would be a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrophone:

“A hydrophone (Ancient Greek: ὕδωρ + φωνή, lit. 'water + sound') is a microphone designed to be used underwater for recording or listening to underwater sound. Most hydrophones are based on a piezoelectric transducer that generates an electric potential when subjected to a pressure change, such as a sound wave.

A hydrophone can detect airborne sounds, but will be insensitive because it is designed to match the acoustic impedance of water, a denser fluid than air. Sound travels 4.3 times faster in water than in air, and a sound wave in water exerts a pressure 60 times that exerted by a wave of the same amplitude in air. Similarly, a standard microphone can be buried in the ground, or immersed in water if it is put in a waterproof container, but will give poor performance due to the similarly bad acoustic impedance match.”

>What is it about this type of story that is so attention grabbing?

In this particular story: Those guys are pioneers, they are doing something almost nobody has done before, like going deep down 4 kilometres under the surface of the ocean.

This takes guts. And people admire those that have the guts. It is primal instinct, as the people that take risks and survive usually makes the tribe or society improve.

Things that are routine today like planes flying without crashing down or reusable rockets or going to the moon were at some time extremely risky.
"Business is war"... there are very little ethical businessmen out there so you're swimming among sharks and think that it becomes a game of ripping off each others.

I've seen some pretty nasty stuff done in order to maximize profit... I don't want to be negative but there is a reason why these jobs attract a certain... profile... or if you can't "adapt" quickly, you're done.

Of course some small shops still exist when it comes to synths, especially in Europe where one manufacturer can make direct deals with European retailers, that's why the Eurorack module format is a thing. But these aren't "maximizing their profit". It's a scene that has loyal customers that are ready to pay a bit more for ethical purposes.

Does the market tend to find "inefficient" areas and someone comes in and "maximize efficiency"? I think Behringer is trying to catch all revenue in that space...

Oh, I should probably mention a blog I wrote describing how it works: https://github.com/terminusdb/technical-blogs/blob/main/blog...
Sure. Tolerance builds up over extended use, so that’s one avenue. Another is knowing what causes bodily sensations. High caffeine for example can easily to nervousness if participants don’t know they got caffeine. Drugs like Ritalin can cause euphoria the first couple of times you use it. Ever drank alcohol? You have to learn to deal with that, the first time you’re drunk you are very different from the second time. And then we have the fact that they took random new puzzles; you study stuff you’ve already gone over in class, and study in a way you like.

Please don’t buy into any psychological research; there is a reason more than 2/3rd of all their research cannot even be replicated.

I had the reverse experience last time I was driving in the US. Most RV owners seemed to be aware of people behind them and used the pull-outs fairly often. Drivers of Honda CR-Vs and similar vehicles, on the other hand, seemed oblivious to the idea that they might be holding other people up, and never got out of the way at all.

Hard to grep a list of path names for size or last modification date?

When I saw the start of this thread, I thought abusing "du" for "find" sounded insane - but after mulling it over - I guess du is just a recursive stat(1).

And I can see the logic; have a tool that builds a tree of metadata, filter with a tool that... filters.

However - as far as i can tell, du/grep on plan9 can't fill in for find(1) - but the idea (above) would probably fit with PowerShell or other "typed/rich streams" kind of shell...

https://man.cat-v.org/plan_9/1/grep

https://man.cat-v.org/plan_9/1/du
The thing that I use find for most commonly is to perform a hierarchical grep, i.e

find . -exec grep -Hn regex \{\} \;

How would you do that with the du | grep combo?

2. LLMs can do this easily

3. it's already abstracted away in efficient libraries so largely an obsolete skill even before LLMs (maybe it's good for educational purposes)

All of this is fine if you want to tinker with various tools for its own sake but don't lie to yourself that you're operating in some area of programming that's out of reach for LLMs or that other people/employers will find especially useful.
they have every right to do so and it's well needed. Few teenager thinking they are playing games just by being a mod of a commercial platform. bunch of kids.

All the comments here focus on the complexity/beaurocracy/contract/etc, without realizing there are companies like Deel that take all that complexity away. Also, some (smart) startups also have full time contractor agreements for ex-NA remote employees, so you are considered an employee in every aspect internally but rather than payroll you send an invoice every month. This works well because most employment contracts are tied to local market rates and bands.

AFAIK D4 does that in some capacity. There are zones that scale from 50-100 for example and if you are below 50 you'll have a bad time. It's correct that once you visit a former zone the monster scale with your level but as soon as you have the mount you don't have to put up with them. And because of the game design (a lot of dungeons, world bosses, legion events etc.) it's a welcome thing that they happen all over the zones and are not restricted to some high level area.
