So, I get the "squash your feature branch into a single commit before merging upstream", but what does doing "git merge main" instead of "git rebase -i main" give you? (Assume I have my global git config to remember conflict resolutions via rerere)
not sure how you feel about charities, but this one seems to be legit and one that does not waste money on overhead.

Recursive events is a big red flag. Every time I have seen that in the wild it was a really bad and unnecessary design choice.

Using parallelism/concurrency is fine. As long as the data dependencies doesn’t have the usual multi-threading bugs (a thread modifying data that another thread is reading etc.)
So, in summary, no professional artist's socioeconomic wellbeing matters because all artists are really the same... and everybody is an artist really, and not all artists start with the same socioeconomic advantages so this is really about about equality... but at the same time, it's about "sorry, that's the market and you lost" capitalism, and blah blah blah.

Being a professional artist isn't fucking magic. It's not winning the lottery or even getting drafted for a pro sports team. It's a large group of regular fucking careers just like any other but creativity makes up a larger percentage of their professional cognitive toolkit. I know a workaday oil painter who's neither well-known nor rich but went to college to learn how to be an oil painter and that's how he comfortably pays his bills. He paints seaside landscapes, wealthy people buy them to put in their vacation homes, and that's how he makes his money. He was in college right along side with graphic designers, animators, architects, product designers, user interface designers, and all manor of other professional artists. Just like any other non-licensed white collar profession, people who didn't go to school are in the business, but it's harder. I also know a professional comic book artist, many animators, sculptors that work in product development, and plenty of other professional artists that built normal careers like any other white collar professional. The fact that not everybody can go to art school to build an art career doesn't change the disposition of professional artists any more than not everybody being able to afford to go to medical school affects the disposition of doctors, and having "the soul of a healer" doesn't really enter the goddamned equation, does it?

Whether you're being deliberately obtuse or are painfully ignorant about something you've got a lot of strong, baseless opinions about, you're obviously not going to cut the bullshit and be honest with yourself. The reason you have to delve into all of these pseudo-philosophical mental gymnastics is because you're wrong, but you really don't want to be, so you're trying to construct a reality in which you're right. That's not how reality works. Using people's work without their permission to make a for-profit system to compete with them in their professional marketplace is not moral no matter how big of a castle of bullshit logic you build around it.

Bye bye. I'm going to let you hang out in your little land of make-believe by yourself.
> always squashing your PRs to main, the cleanliness of the branch while you're working on it is unimportant.

I'm personally not a fan of always squashing, for large features you lose a lot of history. I like a merge commit in some cases, you can still undo everything easily and most git commands support --first-parent so you can "pretend" everything was squashed in certain cases. But when you're got blaming, you have a lot more context to go off.

People in software are not making "bananas money," they are capturing just a tiny amount of the wealth that they are creating.

If you think a negotiation between a single individual vs. a company of tens of thousands (or, likely, a cartel of companies of millions of combined employees a la https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-Tech_Employee_Antitrust_L...) is anywhere close to an even fight, you're naive.
On the topic of Git, I vaguely remember somebody mentioning that Google was looking at wrapping Git with something else to simplify it. Anybody remember what that project is?
I get that I can look at the upper-right corner of the vision-pro's display and then the precision is needed there -- or the lower-left, etc. But no one is going to do that for long; it's uncomfortable, and you're going to turn your head so your eyes can relax.

Why would you want to do that? That would be adding unnecessary compile time overhead. And (again) code generation works for any language/framework/OS/… Not just for Lisp.

What you'd have to do is 1) create bulk LK-99, 2) prove that that's what you'd created, 3) possibly also show that it's monocrystalline or something, and then 4) show that there's electrical resistance.

The problem is that the stuff is really quite difficult to synthesize reliably. Until that can happen, good luck finding out in either direction!
There is, a combination of strong (but not amazingly strong) diamagnetism at low field strengths and soft ferromagnetism (in floating samples) at high field strengths. Which is exactly what the paper in the link observed while getting the same results everyone else has. The only unambiguous sign of superconductivity was the original resistance graph which can apparently be explained by contact issues with four point probes (you can argue that they must have done many experiments and surely didn't cherrypick just the one where they found "superconductivity", but consider the quality of the rest of the paper...)

Maybe the original LK-99 sample was contaminated with actual high temperature superconducting impurities.
I honestly feel like my small car is really the advantage. It's so much more nimble that I can easily evade road hazards and stop exceptionally quickly.

It would fare worse in a collision, but maybe I'm also less likely to get caught in one because my car isn't so enormous.

>Grifters don't win in the long-term.

Plenty of religions suggest otherwise.

(Dear reader: I'm not referring to your religion - I'm referring to the other religions.)
It's one of the better definitions I've heard. It meshes very well with Georges Batailles theory of sacrificial excess- you give up to the gods the best because it allows them structure, and thereby allows them to provide future excess.

Interesting that what the Christian God wants most is his divine Son.

Why couldn't he just turn NeXT into the wealthiest company in the world? Perhaps you could say that's what he did by getting bought out by Apple, but Ives was an Amelio hire, and hard to say Ives wasn't as pivotal to Apple's future success as Jobs.

Jobs takes a lot of the credit, and some of it is due, but there were many other people involved in bringing him back on board & the transition back to profitability/dominance.
There's "jj", which started as a Google employee's hobby project but they put him full time on it. Not sure how much G plans to push this, but they are endorsing it at least.

I've been using it myself lately and it's pretty cool. Takes some getting used to, but actually pretty easy to recover from screw ups, unlike git.
I don’t recommend git pull to anyone. The magical ways that .git/config sets up tracked vs untracked branches are too opaque for me.

It’s always been much easier to understand (and explain) what’s going on when you separate fetch from rebase/merge*, and I feel like all these “just re clone and start again” memes are all because people’s branch tracking broke and they wanted magical “git push # no further args” to work properly again.

Once you know how to “git push remote myref:theirref” you become much less dependent on magic. Knowing about / having to know about how it works internally is the fun / tedium of git.

*Just kidding about doing git merge, btw. Linear history for life!

Yes but LK-99 is practically unusable in current form if it's a superconductor. There needs to be a lot more material science research before it can be put into utopian use cases that everyone is dreaming about. Recent AI boom brought a lot more finished products which can be immediately put to use.
I would prefer if †his conversation wasn't derailed into one about politics.
They were refusing to share them with anyone reputable until today. Today, they said they would share them, so hopefully this will all be over soon (but IMO it's already resolved).
Yea all those geniuses missed COVID completely though. And then the market overreacted in every way possible causing a crash then a rally that compared to nothing we have seen. Not sure the stock market tells us much of anything

I’m part of the team at Sapling AI (YC W19).

We offer a no data retention option for all teams. If a business wants to try us out for free I’m happy to set something up.

We also offer our application self-hosted/on-premise/cloud-premise. We have single-tenant (separate data) options as well. These options have a higher deployment cost so they may not make sense for teams under 10.

> I want experts to be able to talk about their work without feeling abused, harassed, or threatened

Most experts are idiots (specifically “intellectual yet idiot“). Protecting bad ideas (expert or not) against criticism is an immense danger to society.

If your ideas and findings can’t stand on their own, I can’t help but think they must not be very strong.

Oh and if you think that what you post on the internet is you, and it’s you personally that’s being attacked when people respond to your words…

Please ask yourself if that’s true.
> Ferromagnetic explains half levitation but it doesn't explain full levitation

No one reputable has actually demonstrated full levitation, including the original team.

> Sure, metal ones are, but Are ceramic ferromagnets (without iron) common? That lone electron in an orbital is pretty important.

They literally reproduced this behavior with a substance that looks identical to the original LK-99, so while it would be quite unusual, it is clearly possible. Apparently ferromagnetism without any ferromagnetic compounds has been witnessed before, e.g. in ZnO.
This is actually what they're building. They publish ZK proofs over the biometric data instead of publishing the biometric data itself.
They didn't mention a Samsung phone. "Flippant" is a normal English word that means "dismissive or disrespectful".
squints... can't tell if this is sarcasm. Microstrategy is still trading at like 2x their BTC holdings and so on and so forth, the AI boom is still in-progress and imo the jury is still out on the actual, real-world and $ implications... I think it's sarcasm.

If the compiler is for JIT, then efficiency will be important.

> Humans can detect accelerations as low as .25 mph/s

Maybe under ideal conditions. Not while driving. And below .25 is still enough to have you drift off speed.

> you definitely would be aware that you are accelerating and whether your efforts to compensate are increasing or decreasing it.

It is by no means definite. It's very easy to drift off the correct speed when e.g. the slope of the road changes, even if you're trying not to.
It's more arbitrary data than riding, mostly while communicating with ATC. You have to remember various details spoken to you moments ago and process it all while managing the plane. It is obviously very doable, many do it.

It depends on where you ride but the mortality of private pilots is comparable to riding when messuring risk vs hours of exposure. I don't have time to fetch the data right now but I recall that from when I was looking into getting a bike.

The risks are very different, pilots die from lack of preparedness, riders are at the whim of traffic and their moment to moment risk taking behavior.

It's considered hard because you are expected to intuit the theorem or process you need to use instead of being given an algorithm for choosing one which works for all cases. Integration by parts (and optionally integration by parts again) is a good example.

I guess geometry and all math is like that. Or at least it's taught that way. But at least geometry is visual.
Yet somehow those "SC people" issue this opinion without having seen the final paper nor the lab data on the original sample, which is presently being examined as part of the peer review process in SK?

That issue is not F# or C#'s fault - it's a limitation of the expressiveness of the CLR's type-system (it doesn't support higher-kinded types, varadic type parameterization, or non-typename type parameters).

The hope and the expectation is that the CLR will gain support for first-class representations of F# concepts to allow for greater interop with C# scenarios, but the CLR's development has always been tied to C#, with other CLR languages like VB.NET and C++/CLI only exerting minor influence on the CLR's design with most of their language-specific idiosyncrasies being handled by library-code and compile-time tricks instead (e.g. VB.NET's "On Error Resume Next" statement is implemented by having the compiler wrap each individual statement in a try/catch instead of having the CLR specifically support it (though in this specific case that's probably a good idea as OnErrorResumeNext is a horrible idea I'm sure we all agree).
Heh, ok. But re-read the above adventure in digital commerce that I have described. Can none of this be made easier if a company gave even a fractional amount of care? Like, for instance - allow searching and requesting a purchase from a child’s Kindle pending an approval action by a parent? That’s just one example I thought of instantaneously - because I used the damn thing. Can none of the, probably thousands, product- and user-experience experts adept in Amazon Principles and commanding six-digit compensations solve this so that I don’t need to post about it on HN?
wasn't trying to go political, but used it as an example of the evidence not fitting your theory. so it's still some what scientific.

Your first paragraph is just Amazon today. They don't need AI for people to make up products and send you garbage. They probably will use AI for reviews, but they already have fake reviews that reliably fool people, so this isn't much different. If it gets so bad that Amazon's bottom line is threatened, they'll actually crack down; they're assholes, not business-suicidal.

"The entire internet will just be a computer that guesses what you want and shows you its best guess as the truth" - you just described Google Search, like, 5 years ago.

"the next 100 years is going to be unimaginable.." - not really. What we're capable of is not what happens. We only reach the minimum viable capability that meets a societal expectation. Once the expectation is reached, progress stagnates, until something exceptional changes the expectation. As a more specific example, regardless of how advanced hardware gets, software remains a gas that fills any container, so what we can actually do with the hardware is always limited by our horrible software.

People keep talking about AI like it's going to transform everything. It's actually more like colorized talking movies vs the black-and-white silent ones. Reshapes industries and changes expectations and experiences? For sure. But the films, plots, characters, actors, industry, viewers, their effect on society, etc remain the same. 3D didn't take hold, neither did smell-o-vision, drive-ins, and countless other "innovations", even though they were feasible. This is just one example, there are tens of thousands of other examples I could give. It's like a law of nature. We don't accomplish what we aren't motivated to.

It's definitely difficult to synthesize reliably when people dismiss any replication attempt that doesn't show superconductivity as a priori not being the right compound.

At the risk of confusing mixed metaphores, I'd say it's more like "It's not as bad as it seems. We only have one flat tire, not four.".

I buy a $10 book on Google Books, $3 goes to Google, $7 goes to the publisher. I buy the same on the Kindle Android app, $3 goes to Google, ?? goes to Amazon, < $7 goes to the publisher.

Since Amazon had been selling books on the Kindle app for a while, I assume they made more than 30% to be worth it, or pushed the cost to the publishers? Or probably worked out some deal with Google, which seems a bit unlikely.
It's not a room temperature ambient pressure superconductor. I should probably bet on it while there's still some value left here, I guess.

Not knowing how a CAT scan works, beyond a vague intuition from already knowing what the acronym stands for, and not wanting to look it up before making a guess: can I assume it’s akin to this, in that radiation is shot from an emission source, through the target, to a detector on the other side, with the density of the material attenuating the signal in predictable ways, from which we can apply a transformation to some large number of such measurements to achieve a computed 3D result?
You are very kind to explain this, and I now feel slightly guilty for making the joke (which is a bad pun).
afaik gitstart pays above market in the local economies, but there’s always room to improve of course. however it’s hard to pay everyone the market rate of american companies.

the developers are typically folks who wouldn’t be able to get a remote job otherwise due to universities not being globally recognized or english is not super fluent. many developers grow a lot during their time at gitstart and eventually move on to getting jobs at places like Google, Amazon too. they support any developer to grow (there’s a team dedicated to figure out growth paths for each developer on the platform)
