The irony here is that the authors example doesn’t fit his system.

The bull is completely irrelevant. It’s a root cause of the car damage.

Should have been: “I am OK. The car is not.” and continued from there.

Closed-source, using Discord, and the air of "we know better than paid Microsoft UX". No thanks.

It's likely disguised malware and/or spyware with pretty wrapping paper.
Health insurance equivalent to what an employer subsidizes is pretty accessible without the employer at healthcare.gov, but the tax deductibility is not if you are working for an employer too small or cheap to offer or, or not employed at all.

The premiums just happen to be very expensive (even for the employers’ subsidy portion) to the tune of $10k/$30k+ per individual/family.
Alternatively, with the ever increasing exploiting of online providers, and the ongoing government led attacks on secure encryption, then maybe personal/local storage will turn out to be the smarter option after all. ;)
Agreed. Personally, I would have gone for:

> "I'm OK, my car hit a bull."

What happened to the bull isn't the most important information; the author wants to know why his son didn't come home. Saying "the bull is dead" kind of answers that question, but only via inference ("oh, the bull must have been killed by his car"), which is why the father was initially confused.

And then "the" should be "a" because the bull hasn't been introduced yet.
Author makes a good argument. I wanted to experiment with local do-it-myself in-memory vector embeddings to use with OpenAI APIs in Common Lisp and Swift. Simple to do, and I added short examples to both my Common Lisp and Swift books. I was also experimenting with simply persisting the data stores to SQLite. Anyway, really simple stuff, and fun to play with.
"about face" means "complete change in stance"
It's a return, that's the most galling part. It's a great game, but it's not revolutionary or genre defining. The best part about bg3 is the things it's missing:
- no rmt
- doesn't require online connection
- no missing content loaded as dlc
- no apologies from the devs for pushing out an unfinished game...

After the many AAA trainwrecks this/last year, everyone should understand game development is hard and most games will likely suck. That's fair. But most games these days suck because they're actively made with anti-consumer practices as their foundation. That's not fair to consumers, and devs need to learn this lesson, because their corporate bosses won't.

The size of a usable nomad cluster can absolutely dwarf the (pathetic) scaling capabilities of Kubernetes, largely thanks to the poor etcd API which simply cannot be fixed.
None? I think you might need to acknowledge you're speaking about something you don't have any experience with. Everyone who's touched that end of the money transfer elephant has come away stinking and with a great distaste for it. Myself included. I've definitely not done many (completely legal and above board) things simply because AML prevents it.
You could be productive in a not-so complicated Android codebase in a week.
No, n95 and better masks have been proven conclusively to protect against it. If your mask isn't fitted right it wont work obviously and surgical masks are not effective. If you are going to be in a poorly ventilated space with someone for an extended period of time an n99 may be better. But otherwise n95s are very effective.
Great content. Thanks for posting.

> it made the GraphQL community aware of the limitations and tradeoffs of the Query language

Could you expand on that? Our graphql types are generated from our federated schema whenever it changes, and response types for queries / mutations are generated whenever you save a file.
Ah, you learn something new every day! Thank you
It's also that someone working in higher ed, even if they're not an academic, needs a graduate degree to get the respect of the academics.
It makes non-crime also more expensive. My bank now, to comply with AML rules, has a yearly KYC process that keeps getting more and more annoying, requiring more paperwork, a lot more of my time to fill that paperwork and me feeling like a criminal (although a long term client and the bank made enough money of me).

I have no good solution, but this is also quite crappy.

Like for one of the business accounts, the KYC/AML 'assistent' for my bank kept sending back the documents with 'this is not in English'. It was my street name. The street name is a name, it's not translatable. But nope, they were not having it. And of course it's a 'different appartment' from my business account manager so he cannot help.
A note on the submission title: I submitted the original title of webpage's mobile version (which includes the question "How Much Caffeine to Drink to Stay Alert?"), though the desktop version shortens the headline to just "Coffee Kick Calculator."

On how the model works, the authors mention on the webpage that: "The formula that we used in our calculator was developed by a team of scientists in the U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command, Fort Detrick, Maryland. They described it in detail in the article titled A Unified Model of Performance for Predicting the Effects of Sleep and Caffeine." [1] I was searching for an interactive model of the study for a while, and I thought this website was a well-done way to visualize this.

A few limitations I found were that:

- By default, a cup of coffee is listed to contain about 150 mg of caffeine, whereas most other sources list the caffeine content as 100 mg (which significantly affects the model). The ability to change this isn't easy to discover at a first glance, but you can manually enter the caffeine amount by enabling the "Advanced" mode.

- The user interface will always include an extra "Caffeine drink" associated with a cup (or caffeine amount, if in advanced mode), but you can safely ignore this, as the last cup will not be recorded on the graph if the time amount is left blank. Similarly, to delete caffeine drinks, you can delete the recorded time for the most recent drink.

- The model assumes you drink a cup roughly all at one timepoint, and does not account for what happens if you sip a drink over time (though this have also been a limitation of the study that the software is based on).

- The model doesn't appear to account for tolerance to caffeine over time.

My takeaways are that: for alertness (without excessive alertness over time), it's better to wait at least an hour or two after waking up before a first caffeine drink. It's best to wait about 1-2 hours between each drink.

Anecdotally, the predicted alertness from the model also appears to hold true in my personal experience: on most days when I drink coffee, I've felt better drinking coffee spread out through the day, instead of a larger serving at once earlier in the morning.

> With a real time bi directional universal language translator

Those aren’t being developed for most languages of the world, only the fairly large languages where corporations see financial interest. Moreover, due to poverty or censorship that has hindered publication of books and internet content in most languages, most languages do not have a sizeable electronic corpus with which to train MT.

The OP is right, anyone active in this field knows that your MT dream would actually result in massive language loss, as bilingual users of MT technology feel forced to switch from their mother tongue to the regionally powerful language in order to access that MT technology.

As an interested party who has been using classic Start and explorerpatcher on LTSC or server for years to make Windows even slightly less miserable, this site tells me only barely more than nothing.

My hometown is in semi-rural WV as well, and this is all true.

Furthermore, because the lack of opportunity and things for young people to occupy themselves with, many young people with means (and many who don’t, via college loans) move elsewhere to build a life for themselves. I did, because if I hadn’t the path ahead of me had a ceiling I’d hit by my late 20s or early 30s.

This contributes to the cycle of decay that much more. Fewer young people → shrinking working population → no interest from employers → no jobs.

And the opioid cross has made it all that much worse. It’s sad. My hometown wasn’t exactly bustling when I was a kid in the 90s, but it still had some life to it. Now it’s barely hanging on.

This promises the world but I had to work hard to find a code example, and even then I didn’t really “get” what the library will do for me in practice.

EDIT: after the pointer to the use cases in the thread below, I think I get it now! This seems like a great idea. Similar to Trustfall (rust) and GraphQLCompiler (Python).

I would be interested in using it if it was Typescript instead of Python. Still very cool how things snap together.

It's true that we can see them everywhere but you'll probably notice that you don't know what jobs such people do and that those who you know and who need to benefit from others' experience typically do not do this. I tend to think there is a class (and a large one) of people who live only for their phone and social networks just because they have no life and they're trying to get one in such superficial stuff. Or maybe they just feel that nobody looks at them because they're not redefining the world and are not interesting, and they're trying to exist through groups of other people like them. It often makes me sad to see how they can be absorbed by these non-sense activities instead of simply being proud of what they are.

Hah! Why am I not surprised to see that nick on HN too :-)

I have no experience with LispWorks whatsoever, but I am curious, how did they implemented it if you know? I mean, how do they differ between calling first as a value or first as a function? In your example first could be a defvared to have some value, and then I might have called a function to produce some unrelated output. I mean it is a contrived example, and probably nobody types in a repl like that, but the language does not forbid it since white spaces are insignificant.

If they just treat the first token as operator always, than they could call any function with any arguments:

CL-USER> op arg1 arg2 ... argN

but then they would have to eval all values at the start of repl by calling (symbol-function arg), instead of just type arg to examine a value. I don't think it would be a bad think in itself tbh; but I am not sure the win is big enough to introduce a new concept.

By the way, I think I have stumbled on some mailing list comment somewhere once, where they said, that Hemlock can use commands named more "english like", i.e. they can have names with spaces in it, not just the hyphenated function name as in Emacs. Do you know more about it, or how they have implemented it? I am just curious; seen your comments on Reddit, and if you are the same person, I understand you are well experienced and familiar with various Lisps and implementations; hope you don't mind asking. :)
While that might be the 'right' answer, it's also in the minority for many job openings/postings.
The gist of this article seems to be that Tyson is "not much of an astrophysicist" because he has too many social media followers compared to the number of papers he has published.

That kind of analysis seems nonsensical to me.
Understanding explain output is usually very simple. 1 Look for any occurrence of “table scan”. 2. Add index on those queried fields or limit the query by filtering on another already indexed field.

This should unclog the most low hanging fruit. Then there is of course more advanced scenarios, especially with joins.

That’s not to say that the UX for explaining (hah) this doesn’t have a lot of room for improvement.
Some people (mostly the same that think global warming isn't happening, then that it's not our fault then that there's nothing we can do - anything to justify not changing our behavior basically) like to complain that beaver dams can't be good for the environment if human dams are bad for environment.

The main difference is that human dams usually require the river to be regulated, whereas beaver dams make river move around, and after a few years the dams move as well, changing the riverbed again. This cycle repeats, and after a while beavers make the river change its bed dozens of times, creating a wide, green marsh, storing lots of water in shaded, green landscape, only small part of which is the current riverbed.

It's also not a big obstacle for fish, because the dams leak, and change their positions every few years. So it does not stop fish migration and breeding significantly.

We on the other hand create a narrow regulated riverbed and hard obstacles that stay in one place for decades. The bodies of water we create aren't shaded, so a lot of water is lost to evaporation. There's not much new plantlife (in fact it's usually a net loss when you account for the flooded area). The high water head creates a lot of pressure and accelerates the water downstream, contributing further to the desertification of the area.
I think the most effective motivation to keep nature and life has historically been to maintain it for human pleasure

Similarly I don't think there is anything to offend with presumption, or at least anything that cares.
Washing your hands is an inherent downside to washing your hands. Its tedious, annoying, and many people get dry skin or are allergic to commonly used scented soaps. There is no evidence that that how regular people wash there hands is effective.
OK, finally found the key words that let Google point me to the comment with Mr. Kapur's response giving a fuller explanation of what happened.

https://www.computerworld.com/article/2567290/no-more-bull.a...
I'm currently consulting for a logistics/wholesale company that uses AI to massively cut down on product catalog management and vendor/customer support costs. Their services are now affordable to much more vendors. It's been a month or so in production and they have already onboarded many new SMB vendors who previously didn't have the means to pay for their services - and thus couldn't sell nor ship through my client. The cost of onboarding a vendor has decreased 100x thanks to using AI instead of doing it manually and it's not limited by headcount and personal schedules.

The products of these new vendors are now available to many big customers in a major city (a single one where we are doing a pilot), and the vendors are reporting they are already getting 2 times the volume of orders they used to get. They didn't even have the means to deliver that much product before - now they are able to do it because their logistics are handled for them by my client (economy-of-scale advantages) instead of them DIYing it, and they use the freed time to do more of their main business.

The customers are super happy because now they're getting fresh food produce from local farmers just days after it's been actually produced, which increases the quality of their products (food in restaurants/catering, usually) and they are already getting significantly more positive reviews thanks to that, which brings them even more new business of higher value. And funnily enough, the products they are getting are cheaper than what they got before, even though the quality is incomparable.

AI is a huge win for everybody involved:

- My client is no longer forced to deal only with the biggest vendors.

- The employees who used to do sales/onboarding, vendor/customer support and product catalog management are still doing it, only now they're handling 10 times more products from 3 times more vendors, and focus on special and more interesting cases instead of doing grunt work.

- The vendors have gained more customers than they ever dreamed of, make more money per unit and have much cheaper logistics that they don't need to think about nor spend their time on (we're talking about guys who used to hop in a truck themselves to deliver their stuff).

- The customers are getting much better quality for lower price per unit. There's also much more product categories they can choose from now.

- It's more environmentally friendly and supports the local economy.

> Are people still using it today?

Yes, I am. Apple is too:

https://blog.timac.org/2022/1005-state-of-swift-and-swiftui-...

In my estimation, these are the primary reasons why some developers continue to use Objective-C:

1) Rewriting an existing code base is almost always massively expensive and dangerous.

2) 9 years later, the Swift tooling is still atrocious. Compile times are much longer, the compiler still crashes, the debugger still doesn't work reliably. It's a major step down from the mature Objective-C tooling.

3) There are still land mines with interoperability between Swift code and Apple's underlying Objective-C frameworks. Performance bottlenecks, unexpected object bridging issues, erroneous nullability annotations, etc.

4) C and C++ compatibility, as mentioned by another commenter.
Most new code is probably written in Swift, but there’s still lots of ObjC code out there and people are still writing it to maintain/extend those code bases.
I think a lot of things sound reasonable on the surface before the details are clear. Keeping porn away from children is a good goal to have, and porn companies do have a duty to help with that. I think Pornhub itself would agree with that. So I understand having that initial reaction; it's a completely normal, human reaction to have to the idea of children watching porn -- I have that surface-level reaction too.

Unfortunately, the devil is in the details and surface-level analysis of the legislation doesn't capture the actual problems with the law.

Respectfully, you came into this conversation speaking pretty boldly about Pornhub's motivations and about the strength/weakness of the case (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37092329) but I think it's important when doing that kind of analysis to take the time to figure out what the actual consequences would be of the legislation being proposed.

Especially where sex/porn is concerned: we're coming off of FOSTA/SESTA, two bills that were designed to help keep sex workers safe that sounded good on the surface and that have been widely criticized by sex workers as having made their lives significantly more dangerous. Legislating sex is complicated. In this case, both free speech and child safety are too important for people to be making decisions about this law without digging into the details.
People have sex everywhere they can. Maybe it'll be a little higher than 'sex in regular cars' but I doubt it'll be measurable.
No, it's most often not related to any particular client. Rather the book is a list of all buy and sell orders that didn't match sitting there and waiting for someone to take the other side of the trade
Blows my mind they didn't provide the service manual for free. I raced KTM off-road for 30+ years, and every bike came with the service manual, complete diagrams, and product replacement part numbers. Every time I pulled out on my KTM 990 Adventure R I had the manual with me as well.

You're spreading misinformation and I'm unsure why.

- Scrollbars auto-hiding can easily be disabled from Modern UI settings -> Accessibility

- You aren't using the web search in the start menu correctly; it's like trying to use a Google Mini speaker to write an essay; yeah it'll work but good luck. You know how to use a browser; do that instead of complaining about something that you aren't using as-intended.

- Afaik taskbar can be ungrouped now; it's time to catch-up to 2023 :p

- Great artist copy; macOS is good. Get over it. I doubt they copied any kind of style from it, but citing this as a downside is silly.

- Microsoft Edge is worlds more efficient than Chrome or Firefox and I can personally vouch for this on the latest 11 stable and insider builds. If it's the update process with Edge that's taking up CPU... what is the issue? Updating files takes CPU, RAM, and HDD resources. Windows Update takes resources. Updating Firefox takes resources. Updating iOS or Android, as you may have guessed it by now, takes resources :p Edge updates for security reasons usually.

Debian flat-out sucks in 2023 and that seals that you're only for some kind of bad-intent or are incredibly naive. You may as well recommend Gentoo or Arch Linux for people coming from Windows 11 as those are just as-bad recommendations. People use Windows because it works. Windows 11 works. What Linux distros work? Ubuntu, and to a lesser-extent Mint. Anything else can be discovered over-time.

I worked for over 20 years in open office environments that were thoughtfully laid out with over 9m^2 space between stations. I then changed to a company where it seems 'space was a premium' with a dense open plan workspace with different teams mixed in the same bull pen and it is absolutely horrendous. There are specific people that don't take social cues like turning back to your monitor when you want to try and focus on something, yet continue to chit-chat all day. I can't believe the c-levels don't see this as a problem. The WFH policy is still reasonable but I have heard the occasional "see... this is why Elon is strict on RTO for collaboration" and I just scoff internally as I know they are desperate to revert it all. Fundamentally there is a huge issue of trust in these organisations, mostly driven by insecure egocentric managers, and I think that trust is satiated only through fear and subjugation of the employee, and more often than not a fallacy - if they go completely RTO I am looking around and/or changing careers.
