Just transitioned a client from Wordpress/WooCommerce to Shopify. Can’t believe how fast monthly costs run up, especially on their ‘app store’. I’m glad devs are being paid but jeez… i’ve spent a lot of time constructing workarounds for apps my client didn’t want to pay for, and its highly likely me and my hourly rate to code these solutions would of paid for those apps twice-over. Lol.
I got very close to that.
Looks very impressive, I've been tinkering with this idea to have a Kotlin type of language which transpiles to Go, but didn't go past writing a parser. Kudos for working on it, I hope it gains some popularity.

While the issue of fairness is subjective, it seems objectively good that the union was able to get what they wanted and asked for. Seems fair to me.
This kind of happens in the life sciences, PLoS has editors that look through biorxiv and invite submissions: https://journals.plos.org/plosgenetics/article?id=10.1371/jo...

eLife also has started its own pipeline for invited preprints: https://elifesciences.org/about/peer-review

It's not without controversy. Especially the eLife decision to not have an accept/reject decision is controversial (https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-023-00831-6).
Personally, I think it's a good decision, there is no place for 'old-style' journals in the way science is developing.
So not at all ridiculous. I prefer the method of dev Linus follows.
Surprising: according to https://hn.algolia.com/ Mathematica-journal and "Mathematica-journal" was only cited twice here, and never on submissions. I feel like we missed something.
Nicely considered. I've spent the last two months writing a paper on how natural language (and the ambiguities within) drive most of the inefficiency in today's financial markets. Properly designed DSLs for these spaces (which we've been working on) would do absolute wonders for how anything from housing development to critical infrastructure is financed.

It's remarkable how much more clearly logic is when semantic flourish (and associated ambiguity) from the English language is thoughtfully constrained away, and it's always seemed interesting to see how computer engineers see natural language as the target.

I think the issue is that computers are used to pre-screen resumes. That's where the keyword matching comes in. The human reviewing applicants is only seeing what wasn't already filtered out by the machine.
I love tree maps so much. It's the only visualization that I've come across that can summarize large amounts of hierarchical data. I really wish there was better 3D and live interactive support for them.

We use maps all the time for getting around in the real world, I'm always suprised that these kinds of maps aren't more popular. I guess it's tough to come up with spatial parameters or something.

d3.js also has quite a few other very cool visualizations that are good at summarizing hierarchical data on their example page.

Which previous doom sayer had mountains of evidence by thousands of scientists?
They don't even need to be big. They just need to cover a subject, but most of it needs to be the library code instead of a thin wrapper around multiple libraries. Take Carbon, the PHP library. It is centered around date time manipulation and provides a cleaner alternative to the standard library. It only has 6 dependencies, and I figure it wouldn't take long to vet it. The Laravel Framework also has few dependencies, and it was a delight to browse.

I created a small Node+Express project, added a few dependencies to handle things like CORS, API Authentication, ORM, and data validation, and my node_modules folder has 300 packages already. Frontend wise, it's worse.

I only used a few libraries when I was doing Android, most of them utilities and vendor SDKs. And the contrast is even higher in another project I'm working on. The Java Code takes less than 10 minutes to build, while the frontend code turns the laptop into a jet.
I'm not saying that companies should pass these wage increases on to consumers, just that they usually do.
It would be nice to have hyperlinks to discussion, explanations and clarifications about every sentence.

Note that this is very different from a hyperlink to some "related" content that leads you on a tangent.

Imagine reading a book (about something complicated, perhaps math) and immediately when you don't understand something you can tap into discussion/QA about the exact sentence you just read.

Of course it would only work for books that are read frequently enough to build that bank of context, but I imagine for many common topics it would work.
Looks like it's fixed now, I had the same 404 for a while

And yes, this is historic stuff happening right here. Can't deny that.
It can sometimes be "good enough" to check the box for bank financing that electrical service is available at the county maintained road which is the mailbox/street address location for the property... Something with a long or difficult driveway could easily be 30-40k to extend grid service from road to house.

So essentially the GOP has blocked/filibustered this appointment (despite DEMs having 50+ seats in the Senate). It's amazing how poorly DEMs fight this chicanery.
> So you gave unrelated advice to someone telling you about a bout of depression? Hm.

They literally asked if they were being unprofessional and if they should have forced themselves to work. Telling them that being able to force themselves to work is a useful skillset if they want to keep a job is not unrelated.

> You think being depressed is "flaking out"? Shame on you.

No, the fact you need to come up with just an absurd statement really shows what you're all about.

They didn't give the industry standard notice period, they as far as we can tell, just said "I'm not coming back". That is flaking out. If you did it because you were depressed or because it's sunny outside doesn't really change the fact it's flaking out.

> At which point would you say it's ok to admit you were wrong and that you misread the post? Is this really the hill you want to die on?

Misread what? You need to misrepresent my position.

In another comment you said I have no experience of depression.

I've been on sucide watches so extreme, they took away my clothes, gave me untearable clothes, only gave me fingerfood, left me in an empty room with just a mattress and an untearable blanket, and had someone sit there and watch me nonstop. The reason I know that mental hospitals will force you to be active is I was there and they annoyed the shit out of me with it. I was diganosed with depression at the age of 9. One professional said that I had been depressed for so long that I basically considered it normal. I almost certainly have more experience with it than many others.

You also implied a strawman argument because I think someone who says they struggled to brush their teeth because they were so depressed would have been sitting around doing nothing because well they couldn't even brush their teeth. That's just extrapolating. Very simple logic.
For years, and then after the explosion too. The last reactors were decommissioned around 2015 (it takes years, so the dates are bit washy).

Chernobyl wasn't the accident people seem to think. It wasn't inevitable, it was the result of numerous self-serving decisions exacerbated and even required in the very messed up Soviet system of management that enforced following the party instructions over all other possible complications.
I mean the reserved words in my lang are in English, and the user-created identifiers must be ASCII at the moment. I could extend the latter to some wider range but my question was more about providing built-in Unicode string handling.

My Buffer class lets you allocate bytes and it's up to your code to interpret those bytes.

I get your concern though and realize parsing

let foo = "<unicode>"

would be a problem.
My question was really whether “top rate” is “top regular hourly rate” or “top hourly rate overall”.

AFAIK doesn't pyrolytic carbon need a N-S field in order to levitate? That's the one key difference I can see - this looks like the traditional superconductor trick of just levitating in a simple field.

Why does there have to be one specific combination of these aspects that yields the one, true "intelligence"? The truth is that it is simply an extremely extremely broad spectrum. Any agent that performs useful computations can be argued to be intelligent in some way. It does not make sense to argue endlessly in an attempt to lift this lower bound. Let's just acknowledge that slime molds, bacteria and NPCs have some form of intelligence so we can move on and define more specific and useful types of intelligences: Embodied intelligence, social intelligence, learning intelligence, general intelligence etc. Of course these will always be vague spectra, as nailing anything clearly down is extremely technical.

Organizing things in sets is nice and all, but it is usually ill-defined on the boundaries and when it leads to endless discussions it's better to just think in terms of functionals. Some abstract functional tells you how intelligent, how embodied or how learning a certain agent is, according to some scale.
Few people have as many opinions on healthy behavior as those of us that are out of shape. :)

>Treemaps struggle with data that is either (wide and shallow) or (thin and deep).

That hasn't been my experience. If treemaps have a limitation is that they can't deal well with very large numbers of highly homogeneous items (e.g. all nearly the same size). The worst case is if you have to show over a million items of the same size in a 1000x1000 bitmap.
Ah crap. Didn't know that :(

> it's the miniaturization that's the hard part

We don't have a working fusion system to miniaturize. Stellar fusion happens at much lower temperatures than what we're trying to do on Earth.
If you read some real papers and some crackpot papers, you can learn to identify bad papers without having to have much knowledge on the topic. Bad papers will, for example, often lay out trivial things at length, i.e. have very low information density. Or they will say things that are incoherent even if you do not understand all the details. Or there will be no references to legitimate other literature. This paper is dense and coherent and does not contain obvious nonsense even to an non-expert. More I did not want to imply, just that it does not look like a a crackpot paper. For a more detailed judgment, for example whether the experiments they performed or the numbers they got are reasonable or something like that, I am indeed unqualified.
If I were reviewing applicants, I might see that as a point in the applicant's favor. It's not only being aboveboard, it also shows a creative solution to a technical problem.

This is a great question. My best answer is that there's a speed/intelligence trade-off. The smaller weights (7B) will run faster and require less memory, but you won't get the same quality responses as the 13B / 70B model. I think there may be a Llama 30B variant coming soon too.

Now I kind of want to build one just for the challenge. Analyze what frequencies can get through, and reverse engineer the phone company's codec so I can send a pirate signal, like a phreaker of old.

Fun fact: You can no longer do such a project in software on stock Android. They locked down the voice audio API.
We could but doing so would lobotomize it.
I think about this often because it feels like my peak ability and productivity s a developer happened back on classic MacOS (7.5 through 9). There was a program called MacsBug that you could install, and with just two keys on the keyboard, invoke a stop-the-world debugger, complete with disassembly, stepping, and heap inspection. You could twiddle a bit here and there, even in the operating system. MacsBug shipped with a Forth interpreter, if I remember right, so you could even automate some of the debugging process. I still have my MacsBug reference guide.

I don't think there's a day that goes by that I don't wish I had those capabilities again.

But, operating systems also have another important function: they have to defend against malicious software. In the days of Macsbug, every program had full read/write access to every other program's heap. That would be horrifying today. Every tactic that's been developed in the name of secure computing has made OS-level debugging significantly harder.
Ask HN: What X programming language themed scientific journals are out there?
I was quite surprised to learn through a earlier post here[1] there was a Mathematica themed journal. This begs the question, are there other programming languages with similarly themed journals, say, a Blub journal, to showcase problems tackled using the Blub programming language, whatever it is?

Say we use this (or any other) superconductor to build an AND gate. Assume one input is zero, so the information of the other input is lost.

I assume the energy lost as heat occurs due to the "current" going into the and gate having "nowhere else to go" other than to dissapate as heat?

If that's the case, simply redesigning our logic gates to have as many outputs as they have inputs, with some of these outputs feeding indirectly back to the power source without being read, seems feasible.
Such broad declarations of rights are completely ridiculous.

As a consultant, this would mean I can't turn down a client. Ever. It doesn't matter if I have higher paying offers, moral objections to what they want built, or silly just don't want to work with them.

This type of blanket declaration of freedoms can only extend so far as another person's rights aren't infringed upon. I the consultant example, my right to decide how I spend my time and value my work should be protected. If I can't discriminate for any reason because it could be deemed "[an]other status", my life can be wrecked because anyone asking for my services are owed good faith effort and I can't legally decline.
...or you can have a solid stdlib like Go where you don't need any dependencies to do everything from encryption to regex to json encoding, image creation and MIME parsing.

I wish more languages would invest in their stdlib.
Very true. I remember cheering since the mid 80's every time the temperature for superconductivity went up, sometimes with 20 degrees K in one go. And then it was quiet for a long long time with a plateau. More recently, two major jumps, the last one of > 50 degrees (2017, H2S), and now this...

> The most researched approach - CBT

While it's true that CBT is the most researched, virtually all of that research is on overall observed efficacy (and there are concerns that the efficacy that has been observed, especially in the earliest studies, is inflated by allegiance effects). That kind of research doesn't provide the tools to say anything about the validity of CBT's underlying conceptual/theoretical model, especially considering that CBT doesn't consistently outperform other modalities with radically different underlying models.
Employers do not value tools because the employees say the cost-benefit is not worth it. The problem is that the employees do the cost-benefit calculations remembering their time as a poor student when their time was worthless.

When your time is worth $0, a product must be 10x better to be worth paying 10x as much. When your time costs $200,000/yr, a 1% improvement is trivially worth $2,000/yr.

People in software do not internalize this because we can build our own tools. We can solve the problem given time unlike say a chemist who can not build a reaction vessel. When we were poor, we built our own tools and we keep that habit even after we have money and our time is valuable.

It is absolutely ridiculous; the average janitor spends more on tools than a software developer. Truck drivers, secretarys, artists, mechanics, all spend more on tools even though their time is significantly less costly on average. In every other engineering profession companys literally spend $30,000, $100,000, and more a year keeping their high value workers productive.

Only in software do we think that $3,000/yr for Visual Studio, the tool that you literally use the entire time when doing Windows development, or $99 per year to do iOS development are “steep” costs. $99 is like one hour of time; it is ludicrously cheap.

$25,000/yr for a 25% productivity improvement is a no-brainer. The problem is that software people think it is obviously wrong, but the business people think it is obviously right. We do not need to struggle with hand trowels, the smart business people want to give us excavators, we just need to stop telling them no.
Hahaha perfect analogy
Putin Signs Digital Ruble Bill into Law
Sometimes the resistance of the trace matters. I’m designing a motor controller that needs to carry 100 amps and the resistance of the copper means that large planes are needed to carry the current without overheating.
Beyond that I agree with everything you’re saying.
We miniaturized fusion 70 years ago and they named a bathing suit after it. Keeping it going is the hard part, and it was messy.
Windows was designed around UCS-2, while it can be upwards compatible with storing UTF-16 data, the Windows APIs don't stop you from inserting almost any sequence of 16-bit words as file names, including unpaired surrogates (because Windows doesn't actually care about the contents of the 16-bit words).

It just happens that most Windows programs will treat it as UTF-16 and it'll mostly be fine. Until you run into the edge case where you do have file names that aren't UTF-16.

This is basically a result of Windows's file API being fixed in 1993, a good few years before Unicode decided that 16 bits wasn't enough for everyone, and hence a good few years before UTF-16 existed.

Completely Automated, AI-Powered Newsletter: Top Headlines in Politics and Tech
Hi Everyone!

I'm excited to announce my newest project - an entirely automated Top Headlines Newsletter, powered by GPT-4. Top news that is picked and written entirely by AI is delivered to your inbox every morning at 9 AM PST.

Our system is fully automated, taking care of everything from selecting topics to sending the newsletter. This means that if I were to die today, you would still receive a newsletter every morning.

Our newsletter is integrated with our site, and all stories use 2 left, 2 center, and 2 right wing sources (characterized by AllSidesMedia).

I truly think that AI can revolutionize how we consume news, from mitigating polarization, stopping misinformation spread, and minimizing bias. Please let me know your opinions below!

This is indeed a sticky problem, one that usually requires a subselect or other workaround to address the non-determinism of group by + order by; i.e. one cannot simply "select * from employees group by role order by join_date limit 1" and be guaranteed to get the expected ordering.

People expect Strings. You don't have to provide strings, but you should be aware that people expect them and if you provide something else but don't clearly label it as not strings there's an excellent chance they'll go "Oh, strings" and then they'll complain that it doesn't work the way they expected.

If I can write "foo".contains('o') or similar in your language, but then you pretend you don't have strings, nobody will believe you and they're quite right to complain when, inevitably, lots of trickier stuff doesn't work because you didn't bother.

WUFFS doesn't have strings. But WUFFS isn't a general purpose language. Fortran has strings. C has strings (they're terrible but they're clearly strings).
