But stereotype and prejudice don't mean the same thing, even though they're related. Without getting too far into the weeds, stereotypes are (positive or negative) beliefs about characteristics of groups of people, whereas prejudices are internalized negative feelings towards groups of people, often formed on the basis of (usually negative) stereotypes. "what I must like etc [on the basis of star sign]" (quote from OP) is a generalized belief about a characteristic of a group rather than a negative feeling towards a group - a stereotype, not a prejudice. To be clear, I completely agree with the OP in that stereotypes (even positive ones) are harmful in that they don't treat people as individuals.

Even if you don't accept this difference between stereotypes and prejudice, however, there's still a big jump to get to racism. I won't attempt (nor do I think I could do justice to) a formal definition of racism, but I think most people would agree that it at least also involves (1) discrimination (individual, structural and/or systemic actions that are based on prejudice); (2) racialization (the social construction of racial groups); and (3) history (racism involves a lot of historical baggage that probably isn't applicable to, say, astrology). So sure, stereotypes aren't totally unrelated to racism - but saying they're "akin" to racism really misses the bigger picture.

The topic here isn't so much the order but whether "of" in int_of_string matches a common/typical usage of the word.

From the other comments sounds like its local style for OCaml maybe because of some French lineage, but that "int_of_string" is a function that converts a string into an int was definitely not something that I would have assumed (as opposed to 'int_from_string' or something).

Very interesting no one had an issue with twitter when they were mass censoring (even the sitting president of the united states!), got hacked by a 17 year old to have all types of celebrities and politicians tweet a bitcoin scam, were chock full of scam bots, etc.

Twitter today is freer and on the path towards improvement, much like the original twitter. Who remembers the Iran revolution and the "stop or i'll tweet" motto?

Yes, self-hosted Mastodon are the best way to share official short messages like that. Proprietary consumer services like Twitter should be avoided because it is hard to even register an account there (my attempt was banned instantly) and this egoist idi*t made tweets unavailable to be read without an account.
Right but why do they use "of" in that way for type declarations? Ends up being the same answer: it's a reasonable translation from french for a non-native english speaker.
Just this morning I accidentally found an ancient (well, recently updated but never rebuilt), quoting tool I use from Intangi has an embedded web view when you click the help button. Being an old school 32 bit Windows app, I had a suspicion it was still IE based so I started browsing around their help site for a bit, trying to find a way out to a search engine where I could go to a page of my choosing. To make a long story short I used the path:

Intangi help -> Intangi search -> Intangi forum post with a GitHub link -> GitHub's legal notice pages -> a link to the Creative Commons license on the CC website -> CC main page -> CC search in the bottom right -> a search and CC blog post for a collaborating with Google from 2013 -> The link to the Google page about the collaboration -> some generic Google intermediary page with a Google products listing -> the Google search page.

In all of this most pages except the Intangi pages and the Google search page were broken somewhere between unrecognizable to "I'm surprised anything loaded at all" with a ton of JS script error messages along the way, which is why it wasn't as simple as GitHub search -> Google Search. This gave me the hint it wasn't the usual system IE 11 rather some kind of legacy embed. Searching for my user agent led me to see it was reporting itself as IE7 and running the ACID2 test did indeed show the failed rendering I'd expect from IE7.

This gave me quite the chuckle as it was as a kid it wasn't until the Internet Explorer 8 betas in early 2008 when the idea the browser was just a loadable program and I there might be others that are better hit me... and this was predating even that!

Props to whoever at Google insists on maintaining legacy versions of the search page. At this point it's just the main home page, search results are new and somewhat broken for old browsers, but it's still something. It even works when I load up an early IPv6 development stack into NT 4! And let me tell you, there are very few sites using IPv6 which work in browsers that old.

I'd argue that the OG Moonshot was less of a metaphorical moonshot than most of the X projects. Self-driving is obviously WAY harder than going to the moon, and I think we were way further away from a science and tech perspective than we were from the moon in the early 60s.

I'm impressed that it works in an Axidraw. It probably helps that many of the strokes were very short so the Orenz Nero reset itself each time the pencil was lifted.

Ask HN: What do you think about documenting code with GPT?
I literally don't know what is the convention for this.

Is it a bad thing to write everything about function, then dump the function / functions that the documented function calls to ChatGPT, and let it handle the documentation? It saves a lot of time documenting, but I feel like it is a bit verbose, and it never thinks like "hmm people reading this will know how to code" and goes into every smallest detail possible. Which is... kinda good?

But I don't know. Our codebase is literally filled with GPT generated comments all over the place

"this function does..."

same structure everywhere. and I started to think "are we doing a good thing?". I sometimes don't even read the generated doc because it is way overly verbose, but at the same time, it feels good to not worry about it,dump function, paste docstring, done.

What do you all think about this?

that implies it feels fear.

No, no it doesn't.

If I type "is a bad city" into google, it autosuggests my question to be "is detroit a bad city". This doesn't imply that google's algorithm feels detroit is bad, or even that it thinks detroit is bad. There is no emotion, no consciousness involved.

Unfortunately, as "AI" gets more sophisticated people are going to forget what the "A" stands for.
I would treat it analogous to asking ChatGPT to code for you (but for food) - some times it works great, other times you gotta nudge it a bit.

The tool is currently best used by people who already know how to code/cook and don't want to spend too much cognitive bandwidth, but have the skills to mofidy as needed.

I see. One of the two common GMO types is BT, which is a bacteria that produces a protein which is an insecticide. It is widely used in organic farming, especially for caterpillar control. I use it on my edible plants in late summer when we get a lot of caterpillars. In GMO varieties, the BT gene that produces the protein is grafted on to a popular cultivar so they produce their own insecticide.

> (why would he care so much about this, boredom?)

> due to extreme unreflected and unchecked ego

Unfortunately, I think it's worse than that. My belief is that it's manic phases caused by bipolar disorder. If you squint and chart these 'manic' decisions, it seems to be about every 4-5 months. In between he'll often (though not always) post some self-reflective and more 'down' things and be generally more quiet (remember the diet-coke and gun pics?). Then, like with many bipolar sufferers, he'll get 'manic' again and do these kinda things to his businesses and to those around him who care. His personal life is famously a mess.

I want to be clear, I'm not a shrink, I have no degrees in this, and I'm 'diagnosing' this very far removed from the guy. But I do have a few bipolar people in my life and, to me, the parallels are very striking.

I feel for him in that way. Despite all the money and fame, the disease that I suspect he suffers from (with, again, low evidence) is a very tough one to accept. Of the people in my own life that suffer from it, none have moved past a confirmed diagnosis and started the long road to recovery and acceptance.

Stats lie.

Their doctors give them drugs way more fun than alcohol, all of their crimes are unattributable to them because they're being committed in a virtual world where there is no accountability (it's not the Boomers SWATing each other, DDoSing anything that disagrees with them, and running fraudulent crowdfunding grifts), and the decline in teenage pregnancy has more to do with the entire demographic's sexual interests being fine-tuned to bespoke pornography and/or their own reflections.

Number of school shootings only ever increases, and an entire generation claims to be mentally ill. Something is wrong here.
This is such bad web design its amazing

Go to the Twitter.com on mobile in a private browsing window or basically be not logged in. The standard popup will come up asking you to logon.

In the top left is a small X you can click to close this popup and continue to twitter without loggin in. In the center top left is the new X logo which is just slightly larger. I immediately clicked on the larger X and of course nothing happened. I then realized it was the smaller but very similar X in the upper left hand corner I needed to click to close the popup.

How is the basic design this bad?

VisionOS: Principles of Spatial Design [video]
For what it's worth, I've given serious thought to whether a rock or the wind have consciousness. I rejected the idea, but it's essential for us to consider it for reasons of ethics. Consciousness is something even now we have essentially no understanding of. If we make something that mimics human behavior perfectly well and kinda-sorta parallels parts of how the brain works, it's not unreasonable to extrapolate human intelligence to it, just as we extrapolate our individual experience of consciousness to other humans. Defining consciousness to be a purely human/biological trait could lead us to do terrible things to entities worthy of moral consideration.

Thats a bold claim, especially when TFA has this quote:

>Proof of personhood is valuable because it solves a lot of anti-spam and anti-concentration-of-power problems that many people have, in a way that avoids dependence on centralized authorities and reveals the minimal information possible.

>If proof of personhood is not solved, decentralized governance (including "micro-governance" like votes on social media posts) becomes much easier to capture by very wealthy actors, including hostile governments. Many services would only be able to prevent denial-of-service attacks by setting a price for access, and sometimes a price high enough to keep out attackers is also too high for many lower-income legitimate users.

Now you could say and then what, but I remember about 10 years ago when all discussions about how to fix email got shutdown by counter posts with that form letter, nothing changed in the open source world and then Google went ahead and solved the problems by doing some of the things that went against the consensus of the letter and today its so hard to run your own email that most nerds don't.

If we do not get a handle on the fake-person situation, how knows if it will even be possible to run your own Mastodon in 10 years?

Now I really hope that it isn't the case that WorldCoin is going to solve this problem (personal preference: the govenments of the world solve this by signing keys of citizens, enabling key rotation and the ability to ban keys signed by countries that abuse your service), but don't kid yourself that there aren't people who would want to use such a service or that it doesn't solve an actual problem.

Precisely - highly restricted demo neighborhoods. This USA is a massive country. You've also conveniently skipped addressing the current lack of any profit for Google what-so-ever too - a core component of most people's definition of a new line of business being a success. You can't even point to meaningful user growth given the tiny percentage of the country it operates in.
This is super super cool! This kind of visualization is so much more useful for finding a transit-friendly spot to live than the generic TransitScores real-estate websites have. Would be nice if the frequency of bus routes could be visualized too, and hope you find a way to add more cities painlessly. Having worked in transit planning, this is really useful for network gap analysis - like finding areas where connectivity could be improved.
I carry and use cash by default for general privacy reasons, but also use a card sometimes. In looking at the two purchases, it seems that I'll use a card when the amount of the purchase is high enough that I am not likely to have the cash in my pocket and in urgent (I wanted to say "emergency", but not just actual emergencies) situations.

If it's a purchase of under $10 or so, I'm exceptionally unlikely to use a card -- and I suspect that most of my impulse/fun purchases (like a foam finger would be if that was my thing) would be in cash for that reason, not because I felt an guilt about them.
Subjective qualities like color and pain? What about dreams and imagination? Illusions are misleading conscious experiences, usually perceptual. That's why it doesn't make much sense to say consciousness is itself an illusion.
You are right, but the "I know nothing" after years of practicing whatever skill you are trying to develop sounds much more like feigned humility than a frank and frankly attractive assessment of someone's abilities.

I have a Ph.D. in physics, and I might consider myself below average among physics Ph.D.s coming out of Harvard or Berkeley, but am I "below average" in physics without further qualifications? It would be silly to say that, wouldn't it?

Like the mathematical genius saying, "I am not that talented, I can't even cook, my spouse has to tell me five times a day where I left the keys (haha), I simply loved math more than others, but anyone, with the right tenacity and guidance, could accomplish what I was fortunate enough to achieve". Come on, those are not serious people.

It is likely that my expertise gives me a more nuanced understanding of the complexities of the field, of how much there is to learn, than the understanding that a talented high school student should have of it -- I agree with you on that -- but a sober assessment of one's abilities and position within a population has never been a mortal sin, quite the contrary. It is the stuff that serious people are made of.
Group Messaging's Balancing Act: Design tradeoffs in small group social medium
Seems like an effort to pull more from the Twitter space. I'm not sure how well it will work in the end.

I've found that lately, I'm less likely to even engage on social media at all. At least half of the account posts I see (at least in comments to more popular origin posts) are from sock puppet accounts. Facebook groups that I participate in are generally higher quality overall, even though they're a bit ham-fisted when it comes to content moderation. Reddit is/was all over the map, from great communities to absolutely no point in trying to participate if you don't match the cult of the given group.

Emotions are a neurological response to stimuli. Artificial emotions from an Artificial Intelligence do not seem that steep a hill to climb. Analyzing this any further we would need a more fundamental understanding of emotions we don't yet have.
For me, somewhat surprisingly, the best bash resource I've come across is the manpage. If you haven't read this and have instead relied on any other resource, I would recommend spending some time to read the bash manpage before deciding to give up on it. To me this has transformed bash from what I once considered a cryptic ugly mess to one of my favourite languages to write even relatively general-purpose code on.

The help command is the only other resource you need, imo.
