I assume you are white and live in America. Seems a smidge hypocritical.

Also this doesn't make much sense. We live in a globalized world. Singapore, for example, gets 80% of its food from abroad. Their "carrying capacity" is not particularly limited, except for literal space. For a country-sized country, space is functionally unlimited.

Not really open source, they are releasing their code under the BSL (Business Source License https://github.com/codecov/self-hosted/blob/main/LICENSE). But still great, and they use Django :D

It's also interesting that they will no longer offer a commercial self-hosted solution.

> As a part of this shift, we are offering a new self-hosted repo that makes it easy to run Codecov in a minimal docker-compose based setup for proof-of-concept and small volume deployments. We are end-of-lifing our commercial self-hosted offering, but will continue to provide support to existing customers who are running Codecov on-prem.
And the reason they do that is quite reasonable. CF is just being a pain

No, it's the other way around. The more records we keep, the fewer maxima we should get.
Looking up links from the poster, Chris.

I didn't realize languages should have theme songs until now.

Think all languages should have a theme.

Python, dubstep?
The area OP is talking about is referred to as the Red River Gorge, it spans a handful counties (powell, wolfe, menifee, and lee county) which are in various states of development.

Definitely an interesting place to travel around. You can go drive 20 minutes and go from fairly developed tourist-ville with gift shops and well kept cabins galore to rough oil/logging roads with people living in rundown buildings in extreme poverty.

Lots of incredible natural resources that have been poorly protected compared to a lot of wild areas out west. Unfortunately it doesn't look like things are getting any better in that regard.
Completely and totally different case. You are wrong on the facts.

There is no one in the economics profession who thinks Reinhardt or Rogoff deliberately made that error bc they had something personal at stake in convincing policymakers that austerity policies were the right outcome. Quite unlike the cases of ariely or gino or various others.

They made an embarrassing error but ultimately it was a coding error.
I was considering getting Enterprise edition, but the side by side comparison between Home and Enterprise did not mention the lack of bloat.

Total per capita healthcare spend in the US is something like $13k, so yeah, much closer to 25% than 60%.

Also, you have to be careful about how you account for “administrative costs”. Medicare has low “administrative costs” but correspondingly high rates of fraud vs. a typical private insurer who has the incentive to spend more looking for it—administrative costs.
EVs usually require far less maintenance too. That needs to be factored in.
> with lazy evaluation

I know it has functions that are lazy, but it's not lazy as in a sense that Haskell is right? I never use it as I find it a ghastly horror show (my taste, other people like it, that's fine), but I had to use it a few times and found that (also from the article) some parts are lazy, but not python as a language. Is that not correct?

> it does limit the sorts of problems the language is suited for,

Interpreted (...) is the implementation, there is no reason why it should be interpreted.

Agreed. Worse, you don't want to be in a position where any single company can end your business at the flip of a switch.
Interesting you bring up southwestern Europe, here we have people that are almost the same as hikikomori, as in, living with parents up until 30-35 years of age, not studying, not working.

But the main difference is, since so many people share the same experience (young adult unemployment), it's not looked down socially.

Actually, this kind of phenomenon and the environment it creates (e.g. many people hanging around in evenings, doing a botellón), contributes a lot to how Spanish people and culture is perceived - carefree, "lazy", siesta-loving, night owl.

My point is just that almost the same phenomenon can either be viewed extremely bad, or good.
Research shows that nurses have outcomes comparable to do those of doctors. It's not 10x as hard as SWE, don't buy into that. Plus, thats irrelevant, doctors supply is limited artificially and for no good reasons. The main culprit of high costs are is the insurance companies greed, but doctors are far from being blameless.
Figure 4 in the article [1] is absolutely fascinating and seems to prove conclusively that the edge detection hypothesis is completely misguided: when one retains only the edges (B) of the original image (A), all meaning is lost and the resulting image is unrecognizable.

What A has that B lacks is shapes. There is obviously a rotund shape of the face that is reconstructed by the brain, that one can almost see, although technically it's not actually present in A. Not present, yet visible. Same for the eyes, smile, cheekbones.

It must trigger some kind of pattern-matching in the brain.

This problem seems to be similar to the famous optical illusion of the old woman / young woman [2] that works well also in strict black and white.

In this optical illusion there is surprisingly little information on the image, yet it can trigger two very different representations (that one can see alternatively, but never at the same time).

I think the brain tries to fit the shapes it sees in one box or another, and when it finds a box it builds a whole concept around it.

I also think that boxes have to pre-exist or be learned: they can't be inferred from an image, if one has never encountered the original representation in the wild.

One evidence for this is children are completely blind to optical illusions that have one "innocent" representation and one involving some kind of nudity or sexual activity, while adults tend to see the NSFW version first.

And so, to come back at the original question of why line drawing works, I think it's because it triggers concepts. The word "square" or "circle" are unambiguous and designate precise geometric shapes (provided one has learned the relevant concepts of square and circle).

Same with shapes, except that there are an infinite amount of different shapes that we can "discuss" using the language of line drawings.

Yes.
Germany is steering towards a massive cliff and nothing's changing.
The mandatory retirement tax I pay goes straight to retirees today. That system only works though if you have a growing population. Every year the ratio of retirees/workers increases.
Even today that system isn't self-sufficient. In 2021 the government had to allot an additional 91 billion EUR. By 2030 it's expected to be 134.
Most of my peers (20-30 year olds) are fully aware that we very likely won't receive a government retirement or one so low that it wouldn't make a difference.
Conservation is not just about preserving info, it's also about not adding information that's not here. If you upscale without those gradients (effectively sharpening to the max with nearest neighbor extrapolation) you introduce high frequencies that could not exist in the original data. You've created new information out of nowhere.

But of course you're correct that in this case it may be the desirable outcome. I still think that this idea of creating information using algorithms in order to get a subjectively more pleasant result is really one of the biggest issues of our time. Not a day passes where I don't see AI-colorized pictures, AI-extrapolated video footage, AI-cleaned family portraits, AI-improved smartphone footage etc...

It's both amazing and a bit scary, because in a certain way we rewrite history when we do this, and since the information is not present in the original it's very difficult to ascertain how close we truly are to reality. We're creating a parallel reality, one Instagram filter at a time. Maybe that's the true metaverse.
"This metric" in context is the country overshoot day. If we're going to quote the page, quoting the right part of the page is important.

> A country’s overshoot day is the date on which Earth Overshoot Day would fall if all of humanity consumed like the people in this country.

That does inherently have a per-capita nature of the consumption in a given country.
They have, but I find they still lag behind the state of the art. Python insistence on optional, second thought support for type hints is frustrating.

Linting has saved my bacon more than once, granted.
I have used Jitsi for our small business and it has been essentially trouble-free. I would recommend it if you want a self-hosted solution, but as there are free options that don't require anything (including the meet.jit.si instance), I don't know if there's any purpose to using a self-hosted solution at all.
I wish we (and the rest of the world) were as organized as it’d take to support conspiracy theories. Easier explanation probably is that I just woke up about 90 minutes ago. HN is about #9 on the list of things I check every morning. Saw this post and thought: “Oh not this again!” Pinged our team to get latest status since I hadn’t thought about archive.is in several years. And then jumped into the comments.

But your story is way more fun, makes us look way more organized, and, frankly, would give me hope that there are really smart people out there organizing and planning the chaos. So let’s go with yours.
If you don't have a video card, it takes minutes to change to Linux.

Yep. And that's great!
Why do you say that? As another commenter points out, the actions there is at least some standard associated with the actions. I also think they can degrade pretty gracefully if not supported. Certainly that's the case with Actions. Non-Gmail users will probably never be aware they exist.
> In what way? Enlighten us.

You can google as well as I can, and if you're well-versed enough to have a firm opinion about MMT (and no expansion of the acronym needed) then you do not need my handholding.

But anyway, I submit that the extra-ordinary claim would be the parties with the control of money supply and taxation structure, and the parties without it, are on an equal footing here when it comes to debt. Graeber has things to say on the topic. IDK, go ahead and make the case that they line up despite that.

As for "implying" - it really does serve political ends, I hear party leaders across the wide wide spectrum from Mr Sunak to Mr Starmer all use this same lazy analogy regarding austerity measures, it's not one or the other. Yeah, assumptions are bad, huh.
I don't think dating apps make a difference in the grand scheme of things for two reasons: the "top 20%" of men have always had the first pick, and you can still try to find a date the traditional ways.

I put the blame on social media. Getting to know people through a friend was the default and you no longer have to meet in person to do that.

Sanitizing social interactions and activists drumming up social fears for their causes has scared everyone off. The only solution is for more people to ignore it all and get out there in person again. That takes time and the pandemic wasn't enough of a nudge.
Also not true in tech. Can't really say anything about other professions, but if you can code you won't have any problems finding a job in Russia. Again, regardless of where in the country you were born

Article's first sentence: "With the advent of large language model-based artificial intelligence, semantic HTML is more important now than ever."

I think the sentence "With the advent of large language model-based artificial intelligence, semantic HTML is less important now than ever." is far more defensible. The semantic web has failed and what replaced it was Google spending a crap ton of money writing a variety of heuristics equipped with best-of-breed-at-the-time AI behind it. As AI improves, it improves its ability to extract information from any ol' slop, and if "any ol' slop" is enough, it's all the effort people are going to put out. Eventually in principle both the semantic web and that pile of heuristics are entirely replaced by AI.

(Note also my replacement of LLM with the general term AI after my first usage of LLM. LLMs are not the whole of "AI". They are merely a hot branch right now, but they are not the last hot branch. It is not a good idea to project out the next several decades on the assumption that LLMs will be the last word in AI.)
I think we have to know the order in which these features occurred. As others pointed out, chewing has other benefits. Maybe evolution took advantage of chewing to change the air intake design for some other advantage.
I think they're talking about using it for all of the connections between the gates.
Is a NN a computable function? Yes, as we calculate them on Turing machines. Then it is prone to every limitation of computable functions.

Humans are also limited by the Turing model’s limits, we can only ever determine computable functions as well. With all due respect, it is stupid to assign more capabilities to ML than what we know is fundamentally the limit..
Quite right. Thank you for pointing it out.
I dropped OneNote when the feature to add subtabs to tabs was removed. It used to be great, but compared to Obsidian it's clunky, slow to load, and my files aren't right there on my disk and editable/parseable with the CLI (which I use a lot).

Yeah, sure, you can do local notebooks in OneNote, but the UI is so intent on trying to trick you into storing things in The Cloud. Lock-in bad. Markdown good.
That’s pretty obnoxious. I think the XFS guy was being reasonable and the Google person comes off as a whiny jerk.

If some guy at my company reported something in error, wasting my time chasing butterflies, then turned around and made his defect an uncompensated assignment for me, that conversation isn’t gonna go well.

It’s too bad too, as the overall goal of what’s being done is a worthy one.
I don't think the raw working hours matter. Do a job you love and it's much less of a burden compared to something you dread but do anyways because of social expectations.

Sure, they're just silly internet points. Yet, after heading back from the conference, they're the only immediate, tangible pat on the back that's left. It'll be a while before the first round of article citations start rolling in. So, seeing HN readers drop by the repo and leave the tiniest note by starring it did bring a few smiles to my face.

Did you consider the impact of missing out on preventative care?

Have you seen a dentist? The dental coverage from employers feels much more limited (except for preventative cleanings) and you can expect some not so fun problems if you miss so many cleanings.
The author of the post seems like an evangelist for the Go programming language.

> And, not to put too fine a point on it, but if you can code Python but not Go (or another decent programming language), you probably have no business writing software for a living.
"there are only two kinds of languages: the ones people complain about and the ones nobody uses".
One question is: "How easy is HTML to read for humans." Everyone who has spent more than a few months writing software will be familiar with the idea. But for someone who has never seen it - is the concept intuitive? Do bright 8th graders get it if shown it for the first time on a test?

I used to think the answer was "pretty difficult," but I haven't come up with anything better. Maybe there is something to be done with indentation - but that has it's own challenges.
I think it would be near impossible to break into this space from the outside. I can't imagine how anyone aside from a major email provider would be able to meaningfully implement this as a business. It seems you would have to rely on the major players to implement this, and if they do, why would they pay you at all for it?
You did NOT remember correctly. The only way you're going to have effects for a week is by using it for a week! The effects are VERY predictable, as studies have shown first-hand through trials for many decades. The only thing that isn't absolutely certain is an individual's rate of processing THC-COOH, which is only a leftover metabolite of what was once psychoactive THC (THC-A). You will absolutely test positive for THC-COOH a week after a single usage, sometimes up to a month; because it's stored in your fat. For this reason, it can even be detected up for multiple months in heavy users! An inactive metabolite is unable to cause any psychoactive effects.
> A Phase 1 trial is used to determine if a treatment is safe and to determine the maximum dosing.

There are also nuances here. A drug that's effective against some type of cancer can be deemed safe (or at least safe enough) even if it has truly horrific and/or dangerous side effects, because it's cancer, while a drug with the same safety profile would never be approved for, say, athlete's foot.
I once had a ticket on my phone. My phone overheated and crashed just before I reached the ticket checking station at the gate. It refused to start for several minutes, because it was still too hot.

https://ourworldindata.org/working-hours

Looks like Japanese people worked significantly more hours than Americans in the 80s and 90s, the gap narrowed in the 00s, and the U.S. just (barely) passed Japan starting in 2015. I could be outdated in my understanding of Japanese work culture.

Japanese people seem to stay in the workforce a few years longer, but given the older population, I'm not sure how to weight this.
My experience with Python can be summed up as: it's tempting to start something with it, since it has such low (initial) friction and hey, "this is just a small throwaway project anyway".

Months or years later, it's a beast, hard to understand or refactor, full of holes and pitfalls, and Python's terrible tooling doesn't help either.

And I never learn the lesson!
Fun story. I know understand why Levchin was so involved with the real world crypto conference :)

Here’s my own explanation of SSS: https://livebook.manning.com/book/real-world-cryptography/ch...
Isn't this solved with 3-D Secure ? Many websites (at least in the EU) implement it and if mandatory, it's impossible to buy something without 2FA (either by SMS, phone app, ...)

The moral argument I always hear for our high prices is that it uniquely benefits medical research. I'm not convinced that dichotomy exists, and that those aren't largely indepedent of each other.
To me it's also pretty interesting, how politicans (at least here in Southwestern Europe), almost never consider or talk about ordinary, middle class working people.
It almost always has to be about the elderly, or benefits to the ultra-poor.
Seems to me super weird that none of the major political groups "speak to me", as a normal, middle class worker.
I think you're probalby right. There's no way to know that a github repo represents the actual work of the applicant. References from former employers/clients are going to be the main thing I would care about.
Because they would sell more games in the end. I guess this is exactly what will happen: A Steam Runtime for 32bit x86 games bundeled with FexEmu for M1 and a 32 bit x86 runtime for macOS in general.
That’s not the case in US.

It’s kinda funny, but the only time Chase and Amex credit cards asked me for 2FA (I didn’t even know they had 2FA) was when I used them to purchase some things in Indian website through local payment provider (Razorpay).
I am not a computer vision specialist, but I wanted to add an anecdote from years of parenting.

One thing that amazed me about babies was how early they understand line drawings. Long before a baby can talk, it knows what a dog is (and can imitate a dog sound), and can also identify a dog in a photo, in a realistic drawing, and in a very simple line drawing.

It seems so easy, but in reality those things all look so very, very different. And after 6ish months, babies have mastered that recognition.
What's funny is that (in a different Python rant from another author), it was pointed out that Google was the heaviest pusher of Python in the early 2000s. It probably would have been Java (from Android and elsewhere) had it not been all the legal stuff with Oracle brewing. So, Python here, Python there, Python everywhere... then Google invented Go and Dart and other shiny new toys and began pushing them everywhere.
Given that Cloudflare has ~80% of the CDN marketshare and ~20% of the total web marketshare (a number that keeps on growing, simply because no one dares to prosecute bad actors and so site operators are all but forced to hide under the protection racket), their push for PAT will lead to users effectively being locked out of a lot of online services if they do not pass the Blessed Test aka have modified their device in any way that The Gods have not determined to be acceptable.

It's bad enough on mobile - try banking apps, Netflix, Google Pay, Samsung's Watch companion app or pretty much any game on a rooted Android, you'll have to bytecode patch your way around. I do not want that crap on desktop as well.

I'm not an expert on Japan by any stretch, but I do know that there was a severe economic collapse ~1990 (called the lost generation I believe), this changed a previously very strong economic/social contract where people were essentially guaranteed well paying jobs given a relatively low barrier of entry (in exchange they were obviously expected to work very hard), however this led to a removal of that system and many people from that generation have had to struggle to find meaningly work outside of low paying temp work (maybe like a gig economy deal), this led a lot to feel they had been abandoned by their government/corporate entities even though they had done all the things they were "supposed to do" to get into that system.
It's very easy and they are widely supported. Example: https://radogado.github.io/n-modal/
