No statements will apply to all of anything, just thought I'd clarify since in ten years of working with nosql by large the largest deployments were with Mongo. Bad luck maybe :)

There are reactive and non-reactive based SQL dbs too. I know someone at Amazon working on one.

You can have state per connection and still use epoll or whatever. Even with NodeJS or Vertx you can open a connection against a worker pool, maintain state for that connection, and it doesn't require thread/process per connection. That's merely an implementation detail (and nice isolation for extensions etc).
But honestly, that can be a win. A good process (with a person you resonate with) can go further than a medical degree. Personal opinion, based on lots of experience.
I would trust a group of biologists, chemists and physicists way more than some sci-fi writers that focus on telling good stories.

The reality might be very boring. Way too boring for a good story.
I would presume that someone being subject to a lie detector may have different incentives than those running the lie detector, and they may intentionally taint the data.
Ah yes, hence why Americans get their drivers permit at 16 and can shoot weapons and deploy to war shortly after.

It will work, bat since it’s not a moving GC you may end up with a lot of heap fragmentation, and as I don’t think it is generational it may get into a state where it stops collecting or has quite long pause times (can’t remember if it limits its pause times).
Depends on the time of day, UK morning time before east coast USA wakes up there's always one or two political posts which get quite a bit of attention. However they quickly go from the front page after a few hours.

I've noticed some San Francisco specific post appearing too at similar hours. These generally get more comments but as before usually go after some time.

Personally, some political stuff is fine, interesting and worthy of comment. I do find myself replying and then deleting my comments on those threads after I realise the discussion is meaningless.
The problem with all of these cross browser extension translation layers, is that they only work on the most superficial level for ultra simple extensions.

None of these browsers that advertise this work with devtools extensions from Chrome. React, Vue, and Alpine devtools are all dead in the water. Luckily the big ones have native builds for Firefox, but none of the Safari based browsers (like Orion) can run Chrome based devtools despite advertising "works with Chrome extensions!"

I hope one day they get there, but for now, I need to use a Chromium browser to effectively debug some applications, and that's a bummer.

(Yes, I know many of these tools offer a standalone build that can connect via websockets, but ime, they are unreliable or a pain to setup.)
I think the point is, who would deliberately train a system to detect their own lies?

Examples? I've been CTO at multiple companies (+ managing IT rollout) including a defense contractor who relies heavily on MS infrastructure. At the end of the day Apple has always been the most pain free shit periodt. It literally just works.

I've gone so far as to deploy M1 Mini's in factory environments to run production processes for very large scale printing operations (think Amazon, Walgreens, tons of orders daily) and guess what I haven't been called in over a year because it is all rock solid.
It will "work". It won't be as fast and precise as the JVM.
> People on social programs should not be treated as “beggars.” They should be allowed to live their lives with dignity.

Living their lives with dignity doesn't mean buying luxury items with benefits that many who don't get benefits can't afford.

A lot of people support social programs to keep people from going hungry or being homeless, because those are serious problems. There's a lot less support for taking those programs farther, to providing free or subsidized luxuries. And taking them that far, frankly, is a short-sighted own-goal, because it serves to undermine support for the whole endeavor.
Apparently they can also be captured in a ring of salt:

My point is that the Ainu people were... not consulted on whether that is a good number to have or not. You're seeing effect, not cause. To put it very, very delicately.

Beast mode. This is a great way to understand more about how the high level code we write actually performs. I learned the basics of compilers long ago but never though to apply it in this way, where you can have a reference implementation against which to test an assembly rewrite. Very cool!

Ah yes true, thank you.
Maintaining awareness of breath throughout the day is not an easy task but when you try to bring awareness every now and then it definitely helps you to be in the moment and not get carried away with thoughts. Helps to reduce stress and anxiousness too. Many meditative practices can help bring this like Vipassana or Samyama

There is such a point where money would exchange hands before a formal suit between two private actors. For instance, I might want to settle with you quickly and privately to avoid having to admit what I did.

The government, on the other hand, wants the publicity of having filed the suit to deter other companies from doing the same thing. I don't believe they frequently settle before filing a formal suit.
I think the value add of the speculative markets is (in theory) that people make predictions of what will be valuable -- if they're right they earn and if not they lose out. In effect, it's market research expressed as bets. That information can have utility but my opinion is that our current setup probably over rewards this sort of work.
I'm not into open source LLMs in the slightest, and yet even I've trivially found tools to do what both you and the poster above you wanted

lmstudio actually does what both of you want: provides an easy GUI and serves up your model over a local endpoint that mirrors the OpenAI API.

There's just too much noise in terms of the tooling for LLMs, the solution is fewer higher quality solutions, not more solutions
Then it's much less clear why the alternate policy would be better.
I was underwhelmed to discover that this is simply a list of extensions (currently at 73) that exist in both the Chrome Web Store and Firefox Addons and not some sort of cross-platform support.
If you're interested in learning more about that, check out our NSDI'20 paper on how we chose this direction (https://www.usenix.org/conference/nsdi20/presentation/agache) and the Firecracker source and docs (https://github.com/firecracker-microvm/firecracker).

Thanks to KVM, and to the minimal hardware support (no PCI, no ACPI, etc), Firecracker's source is rather simple and even relatively readable for non-experts.
Yeah most tooling sucks. I think tooling in general was a bad idea. A compiler and an interactive shell/interpreter are all you need, you look at NPM and the current state of the python package management system, a total disaster. I personally would rather use a language where I had to include all dependencies within my program, rather than automatically fetching them from a remote server, deal with versions and version locks, all that stuff was a bad idea.
That's a lot of Reddit.

I remember when I bought a sketchbook for myself after starting a new job, and I found just making a mess with it endlessly freeing. Instead of trying to make sure every idea I put in it was perfect, i just put was on my mind. Ideas for projects, ones that were possible (Text Editor in Python) and even some that were not (Phone that could fold twice over to become a tablet), and it was great! Just let yourself wander.

Oh, duh. Yes. My bad. I guess an assistant of some sort? Or task swapping with someone else? My roommate cooks and I clean, so at least it's only 1 out of 2 things I don't like to do that's covered.
What makes you think cloud is cheap, or reliable? AWS lambda does not provide any guarantees other than compensation if the uptime is less than 99.95 %. That is ~22 minutes/month. It's terrible. If it was reliable they would provide better guarantees. How long since a major outage? A couple of months.

Few people run everything themselves. Most use existing datacenters or rent the hardware. Then its basically the same as using a VPS from a cloud provider when it comes to difficulty and expertise.
Why would a major league team owner ever agree to the risk of relegation, which would destroy the value of their investment? Most pro leagues also keep all their teams somewhat competitive through a mix of revenue sharing, salary caps, and draft preferences. So, even the worst major league team is still way better than the best minor or farm league team.

Well ... I don't know why non-English speaking countries get to decide how English speakers should pronounce/spell their names. Different languages have different names for each other. It's ok.

And yes, I would have the same opinion if the UK somehow forced Turks to drop "Birleşik Krallık" in favour of its English name.
Having "extremely basic understanding" of prime numbers immediately at one's command is important for approximately 0% of software engineering jobs. If you instant-fail a candidate for this, it says a lot more about you and your organization than the candidate.

I don't want to establish a relationship with someone on those forums. I usually don't even write there. I land in some random page following links from a search engine when I look for solutions to a problem. When I do write in a forum or the comments of a site I really don't care who's writing the other comments. There are too many people and I don't know any of them. Even here on HN after about 9 years I remember less than 5 nicks and that's not a problem.
I just read Skunk Works by Ben Rich, senior employee on the SR-71 project and later director of that whole department, and he viewed a hypersonic airplane as an eternal government boondoggle while leaving the door open that it might become possible one day.

>you are proposing to fly at Mach 12, where the surface heat on the fuselage would be 2,500 degrees and still have a passenger cabin filled with women, children, and businessmen, sitting around in their shirtsleeves! Not in my lifetime. Nor in yours. Whoever dreamed up that presidential address ought to be canned. I’m not at all certain we would have that kind of technology ready by the middle of the damned twenty-first century, and if you don’t realize that, you are in the wrong business.”

He relays the story of seeing Reagan propose a national hypersonic plane project in an address and angrily calling the White House’s chief science advisor to point out the Blackbird “only” flew at 3.2 because much faster than that the airplane’s surface would come apart from heat friction, so they’d need something stronger than titanium, and by the way the crew wore space suits and Lockheed still worried they’d boil alive if the A/C system failed.

>But the lure of building a hypersonic airplane dies hard and has become fool’s gold to aerospace dreamers. The idea is still kicking around in Congress, its proponents in search of funding like a stray dog sniffing around for a bone. Building the airplane, to be called the X-30, will be a joint project of NASA and the Defense Department. But long before the first serious dollar is plonked down, someone in charge had better realize that Reagan’s “Orient Express” is really two separate concepts—one a rocketship and the other an airplane. Most likely, that particular twain shall never meet successfully.

So it’s certainly amusing, decades after Rich published this book, to see the long history of his remarks looking true. On the other hand, we now approach the mid 21st century! At the end of the book, Rich writes optimistically about the future projects on the horizon at Lockheed and they include evaluating the feasibility of hypersonic airplanes to lift equipment to orbit. I wonder what will work better than the titanium body on the SR-71.
Yeah I was also surprised that it took them this long to deal with it. Why not change the effect so that it was not contagious, or so that it did not do any damage? Or perhaps lean into the healers and modify a common healing ability to cleanse the effect and grant a buff that prevents reinfection for a period of time? Or make it so that a character could only be infected with the effect once they had entered the boss area?

I clearly do not understand how these debuffs function in the codebase. I wonder why they felt the need to do a full reset instead of just nerfing the debuff.
NB: I re-read this piece late yesterday. It's quite good, and deserves a 2nd chance pool. Letting it wait a couple of days for the initial brouhaha to die down and catch the (more contemplative IMO) weekend crowd should help.

What kind of things does the meds help for, and what kind of meds?

A good friend almost certainly has ADHD (I say that as someone on the spectrum) which impacts their daily life in a negative way, and I'm just curious if meds could help.

Of course would need to get a diagnosis first but they haven't pursued that yet, and I'm wondering if this could serve as motivation.
So you only have one claim (83% state symptom reduction within 6 weeks, whatever that means) at this point and that claim seems very weakly supported as it is not rigorous and no customer can verify. As a non-traditional medical startups I understand you guys want to get ahead fast and quick, but to me I am not sure if ADHD patients want to gamble a few hundred bucks to save money in the hopes that it MIGHT work for them.
I think it’s just a discussion about terminology. Finding something like a virus on mars (and actually recognizing it), would be a huge breakthrough.
So it's like how you inevitably tend to end up with tangled headphone cords even if you swear you never tangle them yourself and they're just "lying" there? The reason behind it is also a simple matter of probability. It's more probable that they'll tangle than untangle, so eventually they do. Even with only small oscillations or disturbances, like here.

Only this is on a microscopic level where eventually, particles, through probability, find _their_ configurations that disperse energy (settling where they "want" to be per thermodynamics) and in the process form more bonds among the particles. Maybe a tiny human diving in to that microcosmos might have found that annoying too!

Who would've known, annoying bunched up cords and wires might have carried a hint to bunched up complex molecules and genesis itself!
The best code is no code. I would stop chasing these kinds of rabbits and start looking harder at the actual information being processed throughout. I'd also focus more on the actual business & customers over any specific coding practice.

You would hopefully find that the most compelling aspect of well-designed software systems is the data. In "data-driven" applications, 100% of the application state and configuration can be made to live in a database somewhere. In these scenarios, seeking code examples is not going to tell you much of anything.

My advice is to look at a bunch of SQL schemas (ideally, ones you know to be under successful products) and compare them to the problem area they support. Think about how you would answer questions a reasonable person might ask of that business by way of a query. Then, consider how much code you just now did not write to answer a realistic business problem.

Relational modeling can eliminate entire repositories worth of bullshit code that should have never existed in the first place. Do you want to train yourself to rely upon something that a true wizard can walk in and disaparate at the snap of his fingers?
Yes! There are tons online, many great quality ones too. For us, we offer robust and reliable service with coaches who we have vetted, are supervised, and are accessing professional development opportunities on regular basis. In addition, our coaching philocosophy and practice has solid foundations in evidence-based practices. Individual providers of ADHD coaching may not have these checks and balances in place, unfortunately. We also have an app that supports growth and accountability throughout the week, which can be a challenge for individual coaches who use email/google docs, etc. And lastly, quite practically we can offer at a lower rate per face-minute because we handle all the "back-end" tasks for them (e.g. advertising, tech, customer service, billing, etc.). Especially for coaches who have ADHD themselves, us handling all the "other stuff" can be a gamechanger. Happy to jam offline on specific coaches or your specific situation! chris@shimmer.care

Sowell isn't an engineer so the sort of thing he's talking about are mostly long standing social problems, not engineering problems. For example, his criticism here is levelled at the sort of people who claim they know a solution for poverty, crime, unfairness, etc.
Do you actually know any devs who use Visual Studio? I work in a studio of hundreds of people using VS, been here for nearly a decade, and I'm yet to find someone who thinks VS is anything other than great. Yes it has its issues, like any dev tool, but otherwise it's probably the best piece of software to have come out of Microsoft, as a C++ developer I cannot imagine using anything else, no other IDE comes anywhere near in terms of features and usability.

My two decades of professional programming suggest that it's way easier to find a $fringe-lang programmer who stopped giving a shit than a mainstream programmer who's ever given one.

That's very impressive! I desperately wish more people did their production work like you do.

I genuinely can believe that Rust, Carbon, &c wouldn't make much of a difference for you. But for others who don't exercise the same discipline (for whatever reason, internal or external) I think they can. I agree there are no silver bullets; that's why each little bit helps.

edit: I think our software woes have mostly to do with human nature; solutions (if they exist) will primarily be educational and social, not technical. But universal computers are less than a century old, and we can certainly do better on both fronts. If we've learned something about the way most people write programs and interact with existing tools, we perhaps ought to make of use of that experience to design better languages and tools.
If I had to guess: side load F-Droid onto the Fire Stick and install Termux from there.
