I'm now at -4 score on this post.

I find it funny that regularly you hear people specifically avoid calling this place a "social network" or "reddit-like". It's a wonderful ode to the dunning-kruger no-coder. There's an implication of pseudo-intellectual superiority in this community that can only be described as the merger of terminally online redditors and big tech. A meta-criticism of the fundamental scoring behavior of this website is met with downvotes and out of the 5 I've received I've gotten 2 comments. Neither explicitly countering my point, and none of them providing the "spirited debate" OP suggests exists here. The website is a hivemind. Period.

Absolutely hilarious. Sometimes points demonstrate themselves. At least slashdot required you to have modpoints. Power tripping terminally online crybullies dominate every website scored by points.
Have you seen what people are paying for watches these days?
> Government needs to step in and investors need to write it as a total loss.

Ahh yes, the ol' "privatise the profits, socialise the losses" approach to big finance failures.
Why is your milk so expensive compared to the USA? After an extended price hike due to the volatility of core consumer goods inflation, a 3.78L US gallon of milk is now back to sub-4 USD.
I wonder if there's some cultural reason for liquids in bags to be considered an unusual packaging method in Western countries, so much that milk and related products seem to be their only relatively widespread use (and even then, uncommon enough that it warrants a Wikipedia page), but it seems a common practice in Asia for other drinks too. Then again, it is common in the US for small portions of sauce e.g. ketchup to be in packets, which are essentially a scaled-down version of this.
Meh. I understand property is pretty much the only viable investment a person can make in China, but these investors should have known what they were buying. Makes me think of idiots that lost big in crypto. The bubbles value has already been spent, so someone is going to have to bag hold. Either the government should buy and forgive all the debt, or the investors should get fucked for overplaying their cards. Maybe they can fake their death or escape to another country.
Typical immature bullshit where someone describes their own company's screwed-up incompetent so-called "Scrum" and "Agile" implementation, and then claims that that's universalizable amongst all companies everywhere.

Just because a so-called "Scrum Master" not worth the title is forcing you to do BS things that inhibit your flow does not mean it's emblematic of the species. I mean, how would you feel if someone generalized all developers as a bunch of fat neckbearded social cripples reeking of BO? Same thing here.

I ought to bookmark this post in case anyone thinks that people on HN don't try to farm karma Reddit-style. What a crap bunch of outrage bait.
LLaMA-2 from the Ground Up
That is an entirely different use-case than a function signature allowing arbitrary keyword arguments. Arbitrary keyword args are different than arbitrary positional args like you have in your example.

GP is suggesting that one should only ever use explicit keyword-only args (anything listed after `*,` in the signature) versus arbitrary keyword args implicit via `**kwargs`.

e.g. (omitting type hints for clarity):

def sum(*args, **arbitrary_kwargs):
...

vs

def sum(*args, some_keyword_only_arg):
...

In my opinion if one finds themselves writing code that uses arbitrary kwargs, they've got a design problem.**
Thats just an excuse not to try to do anything. If you have more tax money you have more options than zero.

It was gpt-3.5 (the free version offered). I will give get-4 a try though that is good to know.
Could someone key me in to this? I thought generally the Chinese government never shied away from stepping in and manipulating things. Recent trends (for example, the government blaming young people themselves for their low employment numbers) feels like they imported the bootstraps mindset from American politicians, which seems out of step with what was seen as them being rather direct in control of their economy. Recent actions from the government seem to be opposite this.
those that don't have an open mind to dissenting opinions are probably not worth talking to either.
Someone else commented above about it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37287011
I think this is perfectly reasonable. 700 million is a lot and it would be unreasonable profit to that amount off someone else’s R&D
GPT can read and understand both code and the comments about 1000x faster than a human.

It's not just about the code it can generate out of a vacuum, it can also understand code for you.

I use it to generate doc-comments, check for differences between the comment and the code, or to explain code I'm not familiar with and don't understand myself.

E.g.: I don't use Python and I had to figure out what a spaghetti-code Python script actually did. I fed it to GPT 4 and started asking questions. That's way faster than learning Python first and then deciphering the script.
This already happens in high-risk areas with the likes of the FDA requiring approval for drugs, since they are more likely to be immediately and/or grossly harmful as a direct result. We don't have evidence that many of these chemicals or even microplastics are directly responsible for any long-term physiological effects (but we know for certain that they exist and are being ingested and distributed throughout the body), so it's not like people are dropping dead from (mis)use of forever chemicals.
The French also applied decimalization to angle measurements, so it's really 1 gon = 100 km, and 1 km is just 1 centigon.
They are doing mortgage boycotts in China as a form of collective action. Very interesting to see how that plays out.

I'm pretty sure it's LDPE --- HDPE is not transparent and glossy like that.
Recognition is one thing, but age assessment is another (and determining those abstract situations still more unlikely).

If humans can misjudge a face by five years or more, what sort of algorithm can reliably differentiate a 17.5-year-old from a 19-year-old, and have such a small error margin that Creator Support doesn't even know what she's on about?

If their system is only going by her face, then they're doing a disservice, because a person's age is not merely in their face.

Is this 100% AI-driven, or are there humans in the loop as well, reviewing flagged content?
I'm not sure how to make sense of this analogy without assuming that assembly language programming self-evidently produces superior programs than programming in high-level languages, and it's exactly that claim that the comment you're replying to is challenging.
Ebisu station has the beer company jingle. Its quite nice too.
Programming the front end for an adult website is not that much different from any other web development. You will never even watch much "content" at work despite the product you're working on.

I'm sure you can comment about the actors, but given that OF is simply a hosting platform, I assume the GP was talking about hiring developers.
But rarely recyclable, not due to chemical composition but because the bags get caught in the machinery.

How stable was the Vue composition API prior to the September 2021 training cut-off date for the OpenAI models?

Looks to me like https://blog.vuejs.org/posts/vue-2-7-naruto back-ported it in July of 2022, and the earliest snapshot of the documentation for it in Vue 3 was https://web.archive.org/web/20220210121247/https://vuejs.org... in February 2022 - so my guess is it mostly happened after that magic date.
And its a massive success.
A month ago I responded to a similar comment of yours[1] pointing out that people were downvoting you for being insulting, not because they disagreed with you. Glancing at your comment history it seems like you are still regularly very aggressive and insulting to the people you engage with.

I think you're mistaking ideology for culture. Lots of people here are aligned with you ideologically. But the culture here is to discourage people from being rude and insulting through the use of downvotes and flags.

One key role and context for music is as an accompaniment for social dance.

Since the minuet and waltz are less popular dance forms than they once were, their accompanying music is less likely to be played in that context.

The effect goes beyond classical music into popular music, where formerly popular dances and their accompanying music go out of style and the latter is rarely played. There also seems to be an appetite for novelty, from "dance crazes" to currently popular dance videos on social media.

Read source code from projects that used by wide range of people. Some tiny repository might look nice at first sight, but it could be a result of limited scope, and production codebase always involves a large range of scope.

Even if there're some caveats/hacks in these codebase, it might have a valid cause and you can learn something from how it evolved or how it (dirtily or gracefully) solves the issue.
most of the time, old timers have a lot of good advice (which also most of the time in the context of their time). too bad, most of them are not good story tellers and approachable to young men/women. but, it's not only the job of the old timers, it is also the job of young men to dig whatever valuable from them.

Or said another way -- deletion is dangerous. I've observed that mixing the convenience of automation with the risk of hard deletion is fraught with peril. If you really need automation around deletion, it's best to set up roadblocks and use tombstoning approaches, where archive/backup data is sent to S3 Glacier or something of that ilk. Storage is cheap enough these days that there's no reason not to.

The treatment of stakeholders have been different inside and outside of China. The assumption based on the experience so far is that inevitably overseas investors, such as US based entities, will lose out more.

Chinese firms have been raising money in overseas markets and has been exporting risk in this way, the issue is how China's government will handle this against the opaque corporate structure behind these financial instruments sold overseas.

Real life: Assume you are critical infrastructure of the whole world (as in people are in risk short term and thousands literally die in the long term because of potential delays
... as part of your day to day operations without special external event) and you need to run apps with proprietary third party sensors on millions of end users devices. Right now you run it with provisioned Android devices but users obviously complain about the lack of byod and customers about the costs. There is no way to have a risk free way of providing this service on Apple or Google stores even with perfect own behavior.

App Stores and their procedures are a risk to public health. Period.
Assuming that such code is suitable or even feasible for the problem you're attempting to solve. High-level languages were created specifically for the purpose of writing large, complex software systems. We don't see assembly being used for those systems. Isn't there an argument that high-level languages are simply more fit for that purpose?
The only data that I really care about are my photos and videos and they are backed up to four different providers.

But this also made me realize how upset I would be if my blog over at micro.blog was accidentally deleted. It’s more of a journal of my digital nomadding with my wife across the US than anything else.

I think that the mental list has an advantage in that it is highly forgetful. Someone has to make a real impression on you (or at least be quite active) for you to form an opinion about them in one way or another. Otherwise all comments return to equal footing quite quickly. I find this a feature and not a bug, in that it prevents strong bubbles (bubbles always exist).

But then again, I recognize your name but I do not have strong opinions about you. Though I do lean positive.
The intersection of both. I did a very bad job of plumbing an electric shower into my flat in York back in the 80s and working out how to route the pipe to meet both ends requirement of where I could connect it into supply, and where it had to be to deliver water to the heater, was massively confusing. I am sure a plumber would understand this innately, but I wasted 2+ m of copper pipe trying to "route" it, without understanding the limits of how I could bend it, or cut and use a fitting.

The building code(s) only get you so far. There's also aesthetics.
Frankly, shifting money around might not do anything.

The actual amount of goods and services produced will be lesser and/or be stretched thinner.

The only real way to combat it is to import young people from places with a mostly young population and getting them productive to make up for the productivity shortfall.

Testosterone and sperm counts have been decimated in modern times. Plus we are already seeing the vast majority of countries heading to births below replacement rate, yes even Africa.

Walmart.com has 3.78L for US$2.52 in Buffalo, ~100 miles from here in Toronto, making our milk 62% more expensive.
Here’s a small sample of reasons. Take your pick:

1. Evergrande declaring bankruptcy in New York.

2. Evergrande shares opening for trading in Hong Kong after a year and a half and plummeting by nearly 90%.

3. Country Garden posting massive losses and indicating worries about meeting their debt obligations.

4. The post Zero COVID boom not happening. Instead of seeing expected massive growth, China is seeing Western levels of growth. Heck, Japan, the poster child of a stagnant economy, has been growing more than China during the post Zero COVID expected boom.

5. Xi Jinping telling college graduates to go back to their villages and work on their parents’s farms.

6. China entering deflation.

Edit:
7. I completely missed this one. It’s in the article. After record high youth unemployment China has now suspended reporting those numbers. Yeah, stopping reporting numbers thst are not going in a positive direction is a clear sign of a functional positive economy.
The modern economy is much better served by people living in comfortable locations that are walkable rather than requiring a wasteful car to merely live. (American-style) suburbs will never be the engine of anything, they're neither agriculturally productive like rural areas nor as economically efficient as urban areas.
A quick summary:

1. You read the source to build a model (theory) of the application in your head.

2. You use the model (theory) to work out a solution.

3. You then translate the abstract solution into actual code.

My experience:

Mastering step 2 makes all the difference when it comes to writing high quality software fast. The best developers I have ever worked with master step 2 and typically spend more time doing step 2 than inexperienced/bad developers. The result is typically much simpler solutions that can be built fast and require less maintenance. Basically the more time you spend on step 2, the faster you write high quality code.
When it comes to precision machining, even Americans seem to prefer to use "thous" (1/1,000") and "tenths" (1/10,000"). Isn't it strange that the preferred measurements aren't fractional: 1/1,728" and 1/20,736"? Why do you think that is?

What would a machine shop say if you called out a dimension as (5,081/20,736")?

I think they'd stare at it for a while, chuckle at your sense of humor, and then punch it into a calculator to work it out in decimals.

Bubbles always exist. They aren't necessarily bad. But there are bubbles within bubbles. Creating very small bubbles is where we run into problems as we approach the echo chamber. A region where we cannot hear opinions other than our own. Disagreement is essential, as all opinions are wrong to some degree. Some are just more wrong than others.
Thanks for the kind words! I'm not usually on HN, but I just discovered this thread and am happy to contribute if I have anything useful to add. The book is a bit dated, but I have continued to post about search more broadly on Medium, particularly on the topic of query understanding.
Separate your code from your data. Be very careful with your data, and make sure you have backups of your data and that you test and validate your backup procedure. At the very least, verify the integrity of your data backups.
The bad news is that--with very few exceptions--bad job beats no job. That's why most jobs are bad :-(

You can always skill up: bad job or good job, its never a bad idea to keep up with the progress in your field and try new ways to apply it to your current job.
Sounds like you would benefit from spending some time learning how to use Copilot.

Which isn't easy, because there's virtually no documentation for it.

Once you get the hang of it it's incredibly useful. I really feel it when I'm working in an editing environment without it now.
Wow, I really like the contrasted view here. It is definitely thought provoking. One day, I may use it in a book or blog post. How shall I cite your thought? Link here?
PET(E) and HDPE are both extremely recyclable (not in the infinitely recyclable approach but in the “have lots of long second lives” approach), though something like only 30% of HDPE ends up getting collected for recycling in the first place.

This Argonne National Laboratory article is more pessimistic but maybe because it’s trying to hype up a recent breakthrough which actually makes HDPE infinitely recyclable: https://www.anl.gov/article/scientists-enhance-recyclability...

Milk bags make environmental sense. Sure the plastic may or may not be recyclable, but the bags are so much lighter than glass, and a little lighter than cardboard, as well as being more efficient with space -- it's saves on transportation CO2 in so many ways.

As well, unlike Tetrapak, empty bags don't have to be cut up or compressed. They just naturally take up so little space.

We really should ship more liquids in bags.
Yep, llvm-mos-sdk is explicitly freestanding; the libc functions in the SDK follow the hosted C standard, but they don't add up to a hosted implementation. The only known C99 non-compliance is the lack of floating point support, which is actively being worked on.

Nothing to do with bagged milk. Record collectors have been borrowing those from US groceries stores since forever.
I used to live in central Canada. The milk in bags with the corner snipped stay fresh for about a week.

In a 4L bag, there are usually 4 1L bags. It doesn't take a week to get through 1L.

If one is obsessed with absolute freshness, one can attach a clip to the snipped corner, but I don't know anyone who does this.
I think the point is that even in Canada, etc, it is still only the milk that is bagged. Not other things like orange juice. But I’ve never been to Canada so I dunno
I haven't checked, but by the end of the day, I doubt eBPF is much slower than select() on a pipe()?
