I think it depends heavily on the individual parents doing the homeschooling. I had a close friend in college who had serious socialization and anxiety issues stemming from homeschooling. I also know a number of adults who were homeschooled and are very well-adjusted and successful. The parents who homeschool b/c they really have a passion for education seem to do much better than those who homeschool out of fear or peer pressure.
The article claims that sequence charts are the only useful thing in UML. What about:

Entity diagrams, especially for database ERD

Timing diagrams (think: Gantt)

Interaction/flow diagrams

Use case diagrams
I think this is broadly accurate for consumer apps.

However, a B2B app ,which is where most product demo tutorials are used, isn't like this. Good product tutorials are great for salespeople to walk the customer through the app and sell properly to prospective clients.

When the contract sizes are in the 10,000s or 100,000s and the product is pretty complex then this is a good solution vs having your sales and support staff having to firefight issues.
well there's the alternative theory that this is a deliberate ploy to destroy the largest platform for grassroots public organisation the world has ever seen
> Apple famously doesn't do any of this with your iPhone

Maybe that's why 50% of iPhone users still don't know that they can use long press on they keyboard (or space bar) to gain cursor control - and this is just one example.

> could force a redirect under specific circumstances to a site under google.com, and if they're using the browser engine for the request, they'd get the cookies of that user as soon as they get on the internet

At first, I thought this can't be true because, surely, Google marks its cookies as HTTPS-only, right? So I checked, and turns out about half the cookies google.com has in my browser are not HTTPS-only. In fact, the HTTPS-only cookies it does have seem to be the same set of cookies, just with a '__Secure-' prefix. Similarly, about half (different set) of the cookies JS accessible.
Also ‘cis’ is banned for being a slur.

It sounds like you're not up for a discussion whatsoever. And I respect that. I just dislike when people dismiss thousands of years of history because they themselves have no inherit experience with something.

Hacker News is sometimes crazy like that. You stumble into ideas/people who present to you concepts that perhaps are too crazy to take it all at once.
Hm.. I find that Apple products have tons of hidden features that I discover after years of usage. I appreciate the clean lines, I really do, but it does have a tradeoff when it comes to discoverability, so this policy is debatable IMO.
Are you actually asking in good faith, or are you 10 years old, or are you just trolling?
Ives fading into non existence was the best thing that happened to modern apple. He was slowly killing everything.
You'll most likely find it in large companies that operated in the 60s or 70s that haven't switched to anything new, mostly because their core business runs on it.

I know of two companies, and at least one still use it, had several summer jobs there. They make sheet metal rolls by flattening out train cart sized hunks of steel, and while the mainframe system didn't run the machines (operators and PLC handled that) it kept track of everything, inventory, logistics and planning. I used it to plan rail shipments, where to put each roll of sheet metal on a train and loaded them up.
Not sure if he had good marketers, I think he himself is a good marketer. But restraint is very hard. Especially when you love to talk. Which he clearly does if we judge by his tweets.

It's a bit like how in Big Brother and other reality shows people first try to show their best side, to show restraint. But over time, and with stress, despite all the cameras, despite the knowledge the world watches, you slowly revert to being yourself.

> My point was that a Chinese weather balloon caused diplomatic reactions

No, a Chinese airborne reconnaissance platform - in the press quickly dubbed 'spy balloon' - caused diplomatic reactions, as well it should. The problems would have been averted had the USA authorities reacted when the thing entered their airspace instead of when it was about to leave it - surely China would not object to having their 'blown off-course weather balloon' taken down before it could crash on a school bus full of children? - but that is another story.

China does have a problem with spent stages from its rockets falling down on land but the victims mostly reside in China itself due to the location of the launch bases and the launch trajectories, e.g.

Long March 2C first stage crashes in village:

China's rocket dropping habit, Chinese rockets are frequently launched over populated areas - sometimes crashing into towns and villages. This video looks at why China began doing this in the first place and how developing reusable rockets might fix this issue.

The observed happened. Definitely happened.

However, you don't need "many angles". Those are too few. You need all the angles.

Reaching conclusions without observing all the interactions, from all angles, in the entirety of the universe existence is, by definition, biased, so, almost all conclusions reached before the universe ends are biased.

From the page:

The vulnerability in the TEA1 cipher (CVE-2022-24402) is obviously the result of intentional weakning. While the cipher itself does not seem to be a terribly weak design, there is a computational step which serves no other purpose than to reduce the key's effective entropy. Similar weakened cryptography has played a part in flaws in GSM (A5/1, A5/2), GMR (GMR-1), GPRS (GEA-1), DMR ('Basic' and 'Enhanced' encryption), and P25 (ADP) and mostly results from export control practices (See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crypto_Wars#PC_era) at the time of design. Unfortunately, in the decades that have passed since then, this cipher has remained in use both inside and outside Europe without loud and clear warnings being issued about its actual security posture.

> You can get lucky with one of those, but not all of those, and several independent times.

The point that you are missing is that these are not only not independent times, but in fact extremely highly correlated. Especially for someone who already comes from an extremely wealthy background and has social connections to other wealthy elites.
I recently had a discussion about astrology and made the point that it seems all without base.

Then the discussion moved and we said maybe (no evidence here) the time of the year when your mother is pregnant could have an influence on you. Maybe the amount of sun she gets, the food she eats, the implications on her mood based on summer or winter weather and all the things she experiences that might be based on the time of the year when she is pregnant. I can't say that I think it's impossible that the baby is in some way influenced by that.

Now, if you take the stars out of astronomy and just focus on certain characteristics that are attributed to you based on the time of year you are born, mayybe, just maybe the astrologers were onto something. Just for the completely wrong reason?
NAT "saved" the internet and broke much more:

- we now have IP address markets

- we now have STUN/TURN/ICE

- we now have CGNAT

None of that was needed, but why make a proper fix when you can instead do a series of band-aids?
It is even more wrong to conflate someone’s parents’ economic success with intelligence.
It took me a long time to realize that "Metaverse" in this context does not mean Meta's Metaverse.

Better phrasing might be: "Build your own metaverse community using Creatospace" (notice that I did not capitalize the "M").
At some point we have to say no to government overreach. This looks like that to me. The question is, do we collectively have any gonads, or are we just a bunch of well-fed kept poodles of the aristocracy?
> Going to university should be viewed in the same light as a financial investment

This is a good way to think about it in the USA, but IMO going to university should be viewed in the same light as going to high school or trade school -- ie, a public good, available to all, and required of some subset of the population to ensure the continuing function of a modern society.

Countries with this system seem to spend less and get better outcomes from their higher education systems.

I went to college at 27, and the money was sort of limitless. The free money was pretty limited (grants and direct loans), but there were enough usurious private lenders to keep you in debt for the rest of your life.
Twitter isn’t exactly a mandatory good.
> Just like autogynephilia is used as a reason to deny trans people of transitioning treatment. Yes it is a true phenomenon, there are many self described autogynephiles claiming that is their sexual experience, doesn't mean trans people should be denied their autonomy for it.

Maybe there are psychological benefits to treating these males with hormones and surgery, so they can fulfil their overwhelming fetish.

However, the fact that it is a sexual fetish, for most of these males who desire to be women, is a very good reason to deny them access to women-only spaces, despite their insistence. Not many actual women want to deal with boundary violation of these men imposing themselves where they're not wanted.
Your experience on Twitter is very dependent on whom you follow. I've spend a lot of time curating my lists and pruning them even of people who list good content of it comes with too much noise.

Edit: Example of the first Tweet thread in my favorite list that's valuable and hard to find elsewhere: https://twitter.com/devonzuegel/status/1683301667733663744?s...

As per other sibling comments, there are already many efforts underway. Void Linux in particular, which I've used, has a surprising number of packages.
Yes, I feel like their interface design is pretty awesome. Relational databases for everyone, I'd say.
It's not a problem with the theory, because the theory was not created to be a high-performance application.

It's also clearly not a problem with SQL since people very loudly and clearly prefer the version with nulls and operations that create nulls.

It is a problem with the idea that people should program in relational algebra. They shouldn't. It's the same kind of issue as functional languages that extend lambda calculus; logical languages with explicit evaluation strategies; type systems with undecidable situations; module systems that allows access to private features... No actual usable system is a perfect representation of the math behind it.

Secondly, I was helped by a lot of people when I was a young developer and this is how I give back. Since it's a sum of maybe 10 minutes a day, which I was largely already using for this anyhow, it's nearly free. If it ever became a job I'd stop.

Anecdotally, I was able to negotiate a merit scholarship to a top college - not based on merit, totally, but based on alternative offers from other schools.

The price discrimination approach is a really effective method for pricing, and I'd be all for it (progressive taxation, basically) if not for the shoddy implementation leading to a student loan crisis.
>The Genesis creation story states that God created the universe in 6 days, but any attempt to demonstrate that it is false will have believers declaring that a "day" is not a precise measurement of time.

The Bible is rather clear that God doesn't measure time like humans do.

"But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day."

This is so naive I don't know where to start.

> Fresh water is not that big of a deal, it’s plentiful and cheap in most places. Desalination works really well, look at Israel.

Half of the United States is in a more or less permanent water crisis which will get worse every passing year if we don't dramatically change use patterns. Not to mention the rest of the world. Desalination works, but it's energy- and materials-hungry. Energy is not getting any more abundant unless we have a breakthrough massively raising the sinking cap on civilizational EROI, e.g. fusion.

> Cars are required for most people to live their lives and make a living. I don’t know how you expect we’ll just magically do without.

Cars have been around for a little over a century. Somehow we managed before that. Even now, there are only 1.5 billion cars on the planet. Most human beings alive today do not have access to a car. I wonder how they do it?
I feel like "to google something" has by now become a generic term that means just to search on the web, not necessarily using Google. In particular, in Russian, I've heard people say "загуглить в яндексе", literally "to google in Yandex".

This is setting the bar way too high.

No. If these things are claimed to be sources of truth, then the bar needs to be that high.

It is precisely because people don't fact-check that the bar has to be so high.

What's not jumping out to me is why you need an LLM for this? What unique code is the LLM actually generating when de-hallucinating?

From the looks of it, they're just advertising a SQL extension that adds vectorization and vector search. Further, it looks like the only thing that the LLM is doing here is deciding which column to run the vector search on. Why is that even necessary? Why are you not pre-processing "vector'd" columns into a normalized format to query against?

They're basically adding an unnecessary LLM step to what amounts to a vector search. In fact, the LLM is essentially blindly deciding which column is the best column to pull an answer from.

-----

EDIT: Just struck me how terrifyingly dangerous this blog is. Really tired of seeing this crap in the LLM community.

The basic premise of this blog is "give an LLM complete access to your database. Let it decide how and where it should pull data from". This is basically useless without talking about how you prevent the LLM from pulling data from places you don't want it to.

A far better and safer approach remains to push your relevant fields to a separate place for your LLM. In the spirit of this blog, you should just index to a new table. More realistically, you should just put this in a vector store.

The difference is it's intuitive to discover. Once you discover this does something here, you start wondering where else could this happen? You might wonder if you can adjust the iPhone flashlight brightness. For me it was intuitive to long-press the icon in control center to find more options and I was delighted to discover that's exactly how it works.

Those little moments of delight and synergy are why I choose the apple ecosystem.

Having a vehicle to ponder big questions is needed for development. Each step in development is a new context available for reconsideration. Decision making becomes dogmatic otherwise.

When all else fails one can always fall back to intuition.
I hear where you're coming from, but I also have had to operate a poorly written Haskell codebase that used these concepts well and still has poorly written code. I once had similar views, but eventually, I let them go after finding my zeal for functional purity a panacea or a self-salving truism meant to retain my sanity after dealing with monstrosities written in traditional imperative languages.

I think that the sad truth is that ugly code reflects an impedence mismatch between the model in the codebase and the reality of how that software would be used, which wouldn't be obviated by taking a more formal or calculated approach to constructing the code. I've seen bad code written in every language and good code written in most languages. Moving state mutation to edges just lifts and shifts the hard part, it doesn't make it any easier.

But to conclude this dissent with a point of agreement, I that the style of programming you're talking about already exists and is common, is called SQL, and is built on very concrete primitives in set theory. You get ACID properties which give transactional isolation, at-rest data integrity based on normalization and uniqueness constraints and purely functional data transformation that can live in a purely functional language (SQL) rather than inside whatever application level language is chosen. And for what it's worth, I have seen enormous, universal improvements in codebase quality by "lifting and shifting" computation that could more comfortably and ergonomically live inside SQL to occurring there.

To your point, I've seen this occur much more successfully when utilizing an ORM approach that is more functional (query builder flavor) than imperative (object mapper flavor).
Amen. The free software community is great.
Wait, though. Doesn't that seem to make this point moot? If they're not responsible for what users do hacking around, then there's not really any need to keep firmware closed source or locked down.

To be fair, I think at least at one point, that is in fact how it worked. I recall having a wrt54g and being able to run it out-of-spec using DD-WRT.
True, but the same can be said of almost anything. There are a lot of ways to be influenced and to have your priorities changed.

The original post reads like someone explaining why they don't read books.
Hey, brief feedback, but "5,000,000,000+" rows processed might be a red flag for some. Many individual customers might do this per day, so to say that's all the company has done so far might put them off.

You've said that initial imports are free, but anecdotally, initial imports ended up being a somewhat regular occurrence as we found issues required a re-import, table rewrites, breaking schema changes, and so on. Do you pay full cost for subsequent full-imports?

Lastly, pricing. I feel like you really need a dollar figure on this even just to start the discussion. "Call us for pricing" is fine for enterprise plans, but in a ~100 person startup I would have just passed immediately on to others that provide pricing details. I'm not going to spend time trialling something without knowing if the pricing is in the right ballpark as it's a waste of my time if it isn't. My perception is that this would be substantially more expensive than batch replication competitors such as Stitch, but I don't know.
This isn't even remotely close to true.

The only perspective in society from which it appears that Academia does more R&D than the private sector is academia itself. Academics in this respect have their eyes wide shut.

At mot, publishing in academic conferences at private companies is namesake. But academic publishing in general is a shadow of its former self in terms of dissemination power, both because most academics are horrible writers and also because a product you can buy (with a support contract) or a well-documented software package is many orders of magnitude more impactful than a paper no one will read.

And even then, many companies publish far more than even highly productive research universities.

Consider AI. There are little pieces here and there that you can attribute to academia. But for the most part, over the last two decades, the enabling big steps happened at TSMC+NVIDIA+Google+OpenAI.
I would still call that ableist and an abuse of therapy language. You don't need to tarnish everyone with ADHD to criticize a single person. You shouldn't use therapy language as a cudgel.

Discriminatory intent isn't required, a discriminatory outcome is. Random people with ADHD don't need to catch strays here.

The criticism is that he is impulsive and that he isn't properly managing himself. No diagnosis is required.
