No infrastructure needed? This must be a joke. Have you heard about the concept of an airport? Airports are humongous and contain a ton of infrastructure, compared to a train station.

Gare de Paris-Nord, the busiest train station in Europe, is planned to have a floor area of 120 000 m² after the next renovation. I couldn't find the number for the ground area, but it's obviously smaller than the floor area. Dulles airport, in Washington DC (a relatively small city by all standards), has an area of 47 km². That's 47 000 000 m², for the unaware. Meanwhile, its annual traffic (about 20M passengers) is approximately a fifth of the Gare du Nord (about 100M passengers).

And then you obviously have to take into account everything that goes into an airport. How much infrastructure to carry fuel and equipment to the airport? To carry passengers to the airport? Most airports aren't in city centers! Do the roads and rails that lead to the airport count? Most certainly. Runways, terminals, air control towers... All this is infrastructure.

So no, you don't need to lay out rails in the sky for planes. That's pretty much where the list of pros stop, in terms of infrastructure. The cons, on the other hand...

I think you picked the worst example ever. The success of a bakery is based on 3 things:

1) location

2) location

3) location

Everything else doesn't matter. Nobody goes online every day to see "Gee, I wonder which artisanal bakery I'm going to drive to today, and I'm going to make my decision based on which bakery has the flashiest website".

If websites mattered, then small businesses wouldn't have the crappiest websites ever.
Oh my, that's pure evil.

Thanks for the advice! I agree with your characterization as somewhere between “instant” and “too late” (eg in prod) feedback. We are focusing on the code editor and GitHub Actions at the moment. For example, figuring out out what happens after the GitHub Action identifies a problem. Do you try and fix it directly in the browser? Or go back to the code editor to inspect the issue and work on the AI-assisted fix? Fixing “in browser” feels awkward to me, but I have seen some videos of Copilot X doing this so maybe it’s possible? Working with the code back in the code editor is of course much more powerful, but it takes some work to setup the context locally to work on the fix. Wdyt?
The problem is this expert will not take one job but ten, so thousand experts kill 9000 jobs.

I would LOVE to take a train but even IF it would cost the same I would still buy an airplane ticket because for the router I usually take I only have to fly for less than 2h instead of 14h-21h for the train route.

And taking the train for that does THINGS to your body. It would have to be way cheaper to convince me.

Like the airplane ticket costs usually 70-120€

So what? FPTP is objectively the worst voting method, across pretty much all metrics (others may do slightly worse at local representation).

Also, proportional representation is a class of voting methods (my personal preference being STV).
The theory and the practice of unit tests are often different things. In theory you’ll make changes to the code, and the unit tests will show whether they had the intended effects.

In practice, because often the unit tests are mocking out all the classes they interact with (as is the recommended style for isolated tests) you’ll either have all the tests explode constantly because the interface being mocked has changed, or you’ll have tests that confidently tell you things are working despite the methods they call no longer existing.
Maybe a print shop that turns any digital file you send them into a nice book and sends it to you would be a solution (if printing yourself doesn't get the results)? Do they exist? I know I use a service like this for having art canvases printed.
Not who you asked, but there are different kinds of modules. I like versioning for reusable ones, but when it comes to root modules they tend to glue together a couple of those, so I just keep them in the same repo, with some terragrunt to mate them with configuration of combination of environment, region etc.

Yes, if you are stuck on a version older than CUDA 3.0.

CUDA supports C, C++20 (minus modules currently), Fortran and has Python bindings, additional plenty of alternative toolchains for PTX bytecode exist, some of which with NVidia's official backing, for Haskell, .NET, Java, Futhark, Julia, and whoever wants to target PTX.
This is similar to what I deal with at work, where we have a large number of devices (dare I say "IoT") that all send data to a cloud system. There's the time that each record was recorded, the time it was sent, the time it was actually picked up from the queue for processing, and so on.

It also arises in ETL systems like Apache Airflow, where the "logical date" of a task run might or might not correspond to the date it was actually run.

The common element here is that the time relationships are not monotonic, and you occasionally have to make business decisions around that non-monotonicity.
It does not escape attention that AAVE is relegated to a small blurb in the "Special Interest" section, with a number of inaccuracies.

>African American Vernacular English (AAVE), the dialect of most African Americans in the United States, is derived from Classical Southern, and shares its main features and many other features. However, it also has a number of distinctive features. I have not generally included AAVE in this study, since its geographical distribution tends to be independent of “white” dialects, primarily because after the Civil War large numbers of former slaves moved to all parts of the U.S., and tended to form their own communities, retaining their unique dialect. However, in many areas of the Lowland South no such migration occurred, and in these areas AAVE and “white” dialects share features and clearly have developed together, so in these areas I have sometimes included AAVE samples. AAVE tends to retain r-dropping more than “white” dialects do, even among younger speakers, and throughout the United States in African American communities.

>I have not generally included AAVE in this study, since its geographical distribution tends to be independent of “white” dialects

This is like saying, "I have not included black history in this survey of American history, as it tends to be independent of "white" history.

>primarily because after the Civil War large numbers of former slaves moved to all parts of the U.S.

Mass movement of American blacks out of the South occurred in the early 20th century; the Great Migration was spurred not by the Civil War, directly, but instead by mass terror.

>and tended to form their own communities

They were forced into small communities, largely into poor conditions or predatory housing arrangements, and generally barred from entering white communities except as menial labor.

AAVE is one of the most important American dialects. It's had a major influence on American cultural output, and has done so for more than a one hundred years. It's also itself heavily influenced by West African speech patterns, miraculously preserved despite centuries of persecution of its speakers. Rick, if you're reading this: you need to do better. Your work is unfortunately incomplete and inadequate without giving AAVE it's just due. I would suggest contacting subject-matter experts for guidance and revising this page appropriately.

Because any other option is not sensible:

1. Authors don't understand what tech they use. (not possible as they acknowledge issues)

2. Authors don't understand that something unrealistic is unrealistic.

Idea that you can give companies or corporations tools to check "did user modify his environment" and they would not use it to exclude users is stupid or disingenuous because advocates for this did exactly comment in such way: We want this proposal to do precisely that.

Again Google tries to defend it by saying "we will return invalid 'false' for some of the users/times of Chrome users" [to make sure that website will not do that] which for me is not only bad because it then creates "when google revokes this policy we are in even worse situation" but then leaves the issue how google decides "who" to give back this 'false':

I will reject times immediately not only because this can be easily circumvented by website [check n-times] to detriment of user but it would also contradict official documentation of WEI (same token for same input from user).

And this leads us to another point - if Google wants to return false negatives it would need to either keep information that is supposed to return 'false' - EU will not be very happy with that (also it does contradict this "chrome users"); or more likely it will be implemented in chrome.

Now when we established that implementation in chrome is most probable - we can also establish that:

A) Implement this on profile basis - companies will ask you to reset profile if you are this false negative.

B) Implement on connection basis - companies will ask you to refresh.

C) Implement on device age / os version / type - Google can even make the manufacturers happy with this one.

… as you can see at most this will be nuisance and if by some weird way:

Z) Implement on Super-complicated basis - this will be still possible because…

3. Google plays disingenuous word game with us here by saying - We won't destroy open web

Other Chromium browsers may ignore that Google X% false negative (Google may loose few % of users before it scrapes this policy). And there is 0 need for Google to actually do something when companies will misuse this API.

In simple words the part that should worry you is not that "Google will destroy web by using this API on Chrome and it services", what must worry you is that other companies will do that for Google and Google will wash their hands from this by saying "We wanted good but didn't work". You can see that tone from the Google - We don't want that so we created these "holdouts".

They are proposing thing that any sensible person see as clear cut attack (or stupid idea that can only work this way) on Privacy and Your Right to use Your Device (and for some people Your OS and/or Your Browser) as You want to use. They are at fault here.

Show HN: Name Checker – Find project name collisions
Name Checker is a tool for when you want to create a new project and don’t want to check all the places (npm, apt, GitHub) for a name collision, you can just use this tool instead.

Yes, I remember someone complaining about datomic not being able to handle multiple meanings for the "as of" column.
i think people will benefit from reminding themselves that they always have an option to do nothing, and sometimes its the best thing to do. This is not mere acceptance. It is understanding that there are other forces at play. Sometimes, you need to step back and let things unfold without input. Good intention doesn't guarantee good outcome. And your sacrifices might hurt you and others both.

Your dichotomy is right though, i think. It is tao vs goggins mindset. People tap into either these two 'states' cause they are true.

Lazy people stay lazy because subconsciously they understand there is some genuine truth in how they live life. One of the hardest thing for me to learn is that, laziness is not good or bad. It just is. It's difficult because we have the need to justify ourselves to others. And we fear being perceived as lazy the most. Not to say that being lethargic is good, but sometimes what we need to do and what a lazy person would do is the same, and we will look the same.
Why not critique the methodology instead of washing your hands of the paper?

Corporations and industry are the only ones willing to sponsor all sorts of studies. Can you at least show us some sort of historical convergence rate of industry vs non-industry funded studies? Is it 10%? 90%? If you have such a fatal knee-jerk response just seeing the funding, you must be able to do that, surely.

Frankly, I'd expect industry to simply discard studies that don't support their product (null or negative result) and publish the studies that do promote their products. Either way, I'm left reading the methodology no matter who publishes a study.
> Whereas, a git beginner may be more likely to start using git with a GUI, e.g. the git panel in VSCode, or something like GitKraken.

How true is this? I believed that people learned git using the CLI.

I learned git from the official book - pro-git. It's entirely based on the CLI. I've trained many to use git - again with CLI. Magit is fun to use - primarily because its UI is directly based on the CLI paradigms. Magit is often just a shortcut for the git CLI (using transient menus).

I was never really able to settle on a GUI, other than for inspecting the commit graph/DAG. The only VC tool I learned with a GUI was subversion, using TortoiseSVN. But the limitations of that GUI was very apparent and had to drop it soon afterwards.

The 6502 does not have any multiplication instructions. It does have very fast interrupt latency for the processors of its time, though.
It's hard to imagine how this could be faked short of digital manipulation, and it seems implausible that it would be a known high TC superconductor because it would warm up too fast. Absent the former explantation, I'm starting to believe this is real. Also, it's not like all the author's are unknown hacks. Hyun Tak Kim has about 10k citations (Google scholar, which sometimes combines people who have the same name though) and authored a paper in scientific reports which got L&K interested in collaborating with him. The guy seems to know superconductivity so I'm feeling rather optimistic about this.

> Additionally: I think everyone expected Voyager to die long ago. It is akin to a fridge that happens to still be running 50 years later. A lucky accident.

This speaks more to the quality of engineering than lucky accidents.

NASA sets high bars because many of these projects have a single chance of working. They make decisions that maximize the chances that the equipment will function within mission parameters, and the result is often something that far exceeds the original mission. See: Mars helicopter.

In the consumer space, an old fridge continuing to operate isn’t chance either. This truly is a case of “they don’t make them like they used to”.

Edit: I’m a bit surprised this is controversial. Curious why people feel this is wrong.

Let's take an example about plumbers:

Plumber A has a van and a phone number attached to it. They're also in the yellow pages.

Plumber B has a website with a real-time calendar of available dates and estimated rates for different jobs. They also buy relevant ads on Google and Facebook.

A is pretty much relying on word of mouth, might be excellent at their job but won't be getting much new business - young people (people under 40) don't especially enjoy cold-calling strangers for availability and rates.

I know that I'l pick B in an instant. I've called way too many tradesmen who have answered clearly while driving in traffic and then they start digging up their physical appointment notebook at the same time.
> Do a plumber, a baker, a policeman need a computer to do their job?

Plumbers (and for that matter, all tradespeople) can get far more efficient at their jobs if they use computers to their advantage. Modern heating systems, i.e. anything above "a gas boiler that circulates water and fires up if the water gets < 70 °C and shuts off >90 °C" can't be designed these days any more without the aid of simulation software that accounts for the effects of insulation or the variety of air-conditioning systems. The more energy efficient, the more complex it gets to design and to operate. Carpenters these days don't do much measurement by hand - they design something in CAD and get exactly fitting wood parts out of their saw machines. Electricians, where do I even start with these, as modern homes are filled to the brim with smart tech. The only thing AI can't do for now is actually run cables and pipes, but give it 10-20 years and construction labor will be done by Boston Dynamic robots - we're already seeing giant 3D printers for concrete or brick-laying robots.

Bakers just the same. Most of bakery, with the exception of artisanal crafters that take pride and charge appropriate pricing, is automated these days - including the supply chain. There aren't that many humans involved in the production of staple foods any more, this is why everything has gotten so cheap and plentiful over the last decades. Some stuff, like picking asparagus, can't be done by robots yet, but that's bound to change.

And policemen... just look how much they're using computers already. No more "send a chopper and a dozen cars to follow a suspect", no more stakeouts, ANPR cameras and AI are enough (there's been a HN submission a week-ish ago about that).

Yes, all of these jobs can be done by computers, but far far less efficiently - and declining birth rates will put more and more pressure on all kinds of jobs to be either eliminated entirely ("paper pushers" and similar bullshit jobs) or be replaced by computers.

Thing is, while actors can be replaced or massively augmented by AI, writing by definition cannot until we have actual AGI solved. No matter what you ask ChatGPT, its outputs are as finite as its training material is.

And even for actors, people are already beginning to loathe too much CGI, see the decline of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. As long as there are enough people actually preferring live humans, Hollywood execs can get f.cked with their dreams of collecting the hundreds of millions of dollars they pay actors for themselves.
