> That is a smear-word created by socialists to mis-describe the "system" (which isn't a system at all) wherein people are able to freely trade with each other.

No, its not, and the “not a system” you describe is neither what we call “capitalism”, nor anything that has ever existed. Restrictions and limits on trade exist in all real-world economic systems and conditions. “Capitalism”, is, at root, a particular structure of property rights.

> So yes it is a cornerstone of socialism to falsely claim that (evil, greedy, immoral) "capitalists" exist

People who own capital exist, and I never made the moral claim that you make. (Leaving aside whether it has anything to do with socialism or not.)

> It's just an incoherent mess of ideological nonsense. It puts people into two categories, even though actually most people are in both categories

Actually, the socialist description of the structrue of capitalism does not have two categories; it recognizes a continuum of conditions, in which there are three main broad classes useful for discussion: those whose support is predominantly from renting out labor (proletariat/working class), those whose support has significant contributions from both labor and capital, as by applying their own labor to their own capital, though there are other patterns (petit bourgeois/middle class), and those whose support is predominantly through capital to which rented labor is applied (haut bourgeois/capitalist class).
Ask HN: Current best in-editor tools for LLM Code Generation, aside from CoPilot
GitHub CoPilot leaves some (or much) to be desired as the sole in editor tool for comprehensive code generation.

It would be great to get the current slate of tools out there and folks experience with them.

(As an example, I recently discovered Continue.Dev and it appears to be an intriguing alternative or enhancer to CoPilot.)
Well I thought people may be interested in learning what is already out there.
Adyen is pretty legit
No. Timing attacks look at statistical distributions given a set of inputs. Adding a flat 1 to all the times does not flatten the distributions. Likewise, adding a random jitter has the same problem, where it increases the variance but doesn't remove it - you need more samples to get the same confidence interval, which is very different from preventing timing attacks entirely.
When your child is coming home in tears every day because other children are mean, and the teachers and administrators won't do anything, and your child is sitting bored through bullshit indoctrination and being harangued for skipping brainless homework to write or make art or do any number of other things, feel free to sit down and tell them how valuable the public school system is, and how their suffering is stupid and they need to get over it.
Surprisingly, some laptop LCDs work fine for software development in bright sunlight outdoors. They switch to reflective mode so don't depend on the backlight. My old laptop had one, and it wasn't even an advertised feature. More detail: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37063449
I think everyone internalizes pets vs cattle a little differently, but I think people often don't realize that if you have cattle, then you now have a cattle ranch. I.e. you often create a new concept to manage your cattle, and you often run that like it's a pet.

E.g. you want to think about your machines/containers like cattle, so you put them into a kubernetes cluster, which has become your new pet. If all your infra fits on one machine, it's way easier to have that as your pet the same way it's easier to have a dog than run a livestock operation.
States set guidelines but Boards of Education choose curricula for their districts.
> Or do you truly believe that people with hardship in their lives are so hopelessly stupid that they don't know they will have to put some effort, instead of sitting around crying over themselves? Come on now.

I don't think that's what Bright said. Unless you're the type of person to say never take risks, because chances are you'll fail. If the world was filled to the brim with that type, then what's the point in living?

Don't tell me you actually believe in that.

As we are talking about a company to help people with medical problems.

Second Sight was giving patients artificial eyes. When they ran out of funding, they closed shop. The patients lost support system for their eyes. If anything goes wrong with their artificial eye, there is no one to repair or fix it. They just have to carry a piece of useless metal junk in their head.

My wife's exposure to the daily habits of public schools in our area as part of her internships towards a degree in childhood education are a huge part of why we chose to homeschool. My experiences going through the public school system are another big part. Your explanation fits our scenario completely.
Can't really compare math with basketball. Basketball is enjoyed by millions, it is a sport that is easily accessible with a very low common denominator.

In order to truly enjoy math you have to have a particular kind of brain that you are indeed either born with or not.

Can't say that I did enjoy math that much because I've had horrible abusive teachers but even so I liked it somewhat because I was better at it than everyone in my class. I would just read the lesson from the text book and it clicked for me instantly, not even needing teachers most of the time.

I seriously doubt that literally everyone else just had mental blocks to pick up things as easily as I did. With hard work and private tutors they eventually could catch up indeed but I really doubt they enjoyed it or even needed that knowledge
Paradoxes of randomness and the limitations of mathematical reason [pdf]
I have 4 kids. My wife and I joke that if anything happens to one that we have spares. It’s a joke but there’s truth in it.

It got me to think about parents with a single kid. Parents carry the burden to keep their kids alive to survive them and help them thrive.

I’ve noticed that my single child friends are a lot more protective…and I realized I probably would too if (for lack of a better phrase) all my eggs were in one basket. Makes sense.
Teams are groups of people working together to achieve a common goal where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Any further prescription is management gaslighting.
CSS should have a way to handle all offset properly at some point https://www.w3.org/TR/css-values-4/#round-func but until then you can use JavaScript to automatically get the correct offset.
That makes sense! Has implications for the age at which some, limited, sex ed should be introduced.

Wondering why I haven't seen this consideration raised before, in mainstream press. Nor read of any specific cases of abuse being exposed that way. Would be interested in references.
I tried the iPad only lifestyle with the original iPad Pro - stuck with it for almost a full year. In the end the abysmal text editing and extreme restrictions when multitasking drove me to distraction. Thankfully the M1 MacBooks fixed the battery, size, weight and heat issues of the Intel based laptops.

And yeah, if you have the magic keyboard/trackpad text editing is a lot better - but at that point you might as well just have the full laptop.
You project a narrative to meet your needs.
30mph across the entire fleet, 24x7? I don't live in a city with them but that sounds optimistic. 30mph seems like a decent average in a big city when you're on the move. Add stops to recharge, pick and drop fares, maintenance, and down time between fares, I'd not be surprised if it was half that or less.
I had largely the opposite takeaway, the cars are built to prioritize safety in unexpected situations, and are doing this here.

It might seem trivial, but it's not too hard to imagine a traffic cone on the windshield actually being a fairly dangerous situation if the car simply drove off, for instance if could roll over the top of the car and impact another vehicle behind it.

And that's even assuming that the traffic cone can be identified as 100% being a normal traffic cone, and not something else (say, a heavy object suspended in some meansm, in which case driving into it would damage the car) or a person or animal that happens to look like a traffic cone.

So by demonstrating that the cars stop under unexpected situations they are showing that the cars successfully identify a potentially dangerous situation and prioritize safety over navigation.
I rotate parts every other year with a specific component in mind.

GPU / Disk / CPU + Memory so a build configuration rolls into another constantly maintained.
Is anyone speedrunning this? I can't find anything with a quick look.

I'd consider an approach like the human powered helicopter parable.

I'd create a model for the eyes / face. So a screen like a phone is put in front of a camera with a model face and controllable eyes that you use software to control. Maybe skip the screen in front of a camera and link straight into the video feed.

It knows the limits of the eyes (different models for different people and situations) can measure fatigue etc.

You could run billions of simulations....

I remember learning about hyperbolic and spherical geometry in middle school, and that was cool. Not really because of the axiomatic aspect, but more of the "how many lines can you draw through two points? Up to you!" sort of questioning of mathematical assumptions and the funny diagrams. The Fano projective plane model was interesting, the Poincaré disk model was interesting. I remember some animations and some interactive software you could play with. But yeah, after about a week I got bored of it. I would say one 2-hour session devoted to different geometries and constructions would probably be about right.

The Euclid's Elements approach of axiomatic geometry is interesting, and suitable for maybe a high school course. Before students learn algebra they don't really have an appreciation of deriving equations or proofs from a small starting point. And coordinate geometry is much more practical (some things are simply unconstructible with ruler and compass).

What I usually do, is I have what I call a “public” email. This is a gmail account I use to log in in any paywall website or any service that requires an account to just see some content and I don’t care who has that email, as I just ignore any email that arrived to that account.
Even at ~1/4th caf as my once daily cup, I still got ~3 days of headaches when I finally quit entirely.

After that, I slept much better. I could finally fall asleep, it wouldn't take me an hour to nod off. I stayed asleep, I wasn't getting up 2-3 times a night. My anxiety, which I then found out contributed to my sleep problems, that pretty much went away. I used to plan and replan scenarios in my head, come up with pithy quips to conversations that would never happen, fear saying or doing the wrong thing in imaginary conundrums.

It all just disappeared after I quit caffeine. I felt 'normal' for the first time in decades. I woke up having the best night of sleep in my memory. And then it happened the next morning, and the next.

Currently, I don;t sleep all that well, but a new baby is the culprit. I can't imagine having a newborn and being on caffeine again, my anxiety would spiral out of control. I'd be a mess for my kid, projecting things, being a jerk.

One of the best little random challenges I ever gave myself.
The ultimate plan would be to just have a special Coalton REPL, that would allow more features and better diagnostics.
Let's get down to it, ban all the hazards, moral or otherwise.

Lets start with taxing porn at 50%, on both ends. Anyone overweight? Slap them with a $7500 fine per pound over the limit, based solely on BMI because that is the only measure that congress can agree is general enough for all citizens. Jail everyone who even thinks about smoking. Alcohol? Well, well, prohibition 2.0, drink once, get sterilized.

You need to make a decision: are you going to continue building a livelihood off the suffering of your neighbors, and your family? Or are we going to do something about this, collectively?

Cluck cluck.
That's where we disagree then.

I think people do have a responsibility and in a democratic state, government can only be as good as the people it governs.
Let me know how that works out over the next 5-10 days, after the food runs out, and you realize you can’t get food, or even hope to flee your urban anarcho-hellscape after the train system fails for lack of maintenance workers or parts.

I love my Kobo as well. It’s pretty old now but durable and still works fine. Here in Canada it works with my local public library using Overdrive. I also use the Libby app on my iPhone. Libby is great for discovering stuff, it’s fast and beautiful.

So I find books with Libby, check them out, then hit sync on the Kobo and they all show up. It’s brilliant. I used to torrent books and now I never do, I just borrow from the library constantly, and I love how having to make choices (because not everything is always available) widens the scope of what I’ll try reading.
While the authors may be Indian and Chinese, they are most definitely studying at Western Universities or at least collaborating with western universities in the majority of cases. Not sure what you’re on about.

You can extrapolate the whole "IDEs are a crutch" idea to pretty much any tool that saves time by automating something you would have had to do manually.

High level languages hide the underlying machine code being generated, so developers become less familiar with what the CPU is really doing. But in a way that's the whole point.

In the end, newbies will rely on the crutch to develop faster at the expense of not immediately understanding all that is happening behind the scenes, while more experienced developers will leverage the IDE to automate those things which they are tired of doing themselves. Eventually newbies learn what's happening under the hood.
Yep, for basic object storage via boto3 etc. it mostly works fine. hence why I called it a nit pick.

There are additional interop things like Apache Spark <--> Spaces that don't work like Spark <--> AWS S3 (endpoint URL config issue which I lost the will to sort out as it was quicker to just use AWS S3 :shrug:).
Cities are great but the skyhigh cost of living isn't.
Another thing is you wouldn't want to impose that great cost of discovering UI for everyday tasks to all the future generations of office area dwellers
Plenty of kids learn to read almost on their own, just by being read to some and getting very basic feedback from adults. Young minds are like a sponge, you just have to engage them and provide corrective feedback and they teach themselves. You only need to be a teaching ninja when you've been tasked when educating children who don't want to be there and aren't interested in what you have to say.
I'm not suggesting it's the only choice, or it being a good choice, or anything like that. I'm just pushing back against the narrative that people didn't freely choose this. Popularly elected leaders chose the city planning. Local elections and people leaving the cities by choice created the suburbs. If most the people in the cities wanted the change it would happen.

And hey look, you're doing it too. "Zoning laws" just magically happened with zero input and somehow radically changed the world without anyone noticing. How did the zoning laws get there? Popularly elected people chosen by the people who live there who made it happen year over year over year. If people didn't like the zoning, they'd vote to change it. That's how it happened in the Netherlands, people elected people who wanted the change.
I can relate to this. I blog sporadically, using different computers, and every time I had to pull the repo and get it to run, several things would break, resulting in a very painful dependency management process (I must admit that I lacked experience with ruby projects in general).

After porting my blog to Hugo, having a single binary that can perform all tasks on all three operating systems I use (MacOS, Windows, and Linux) is a blessing, and now the blog builds incredibly quick.
Spheres aren't Platonic solids.
Thanks. Could you say more about why you’re grateful?
Eh, not Apache Spark <--> Spaces. Doesn't work out the box unlike Spark <--> AWS S3.

See other child comment above. Faster to use AWS S3 instead of trying to fix it (IIRC can't set the endpoint url or something, which is required for Spaces). :shrug:

We pay about $35 apiece for our traffic cones for our business. If these people think they cost $12, I suspect they’re stealing them.
This isn't Linux running on C64 per se. This is C64 emulating a RISC-V environment on which Linux runs.

Still impressive of course, but semantics matter :)

Honestly, this is kind of a genius punishment. Monetary damages can't accurately capture the real damages union-busting causes, and if you tried to just increase them until they "match" damages that can't be remediated, you'll just send the company bankrupt and nobody wants that. I know it's naive and absurd to be hopeful about anything in American politics, but maybe a punishment like this could actually have teeth.
I will always think of him as portrayed in "The Mechanical Universe" series, having his excessive parties (complete with jester) while Kepler stirred in his seat impatiently, waiting to get Brahe's measurement journals after traveling weeks to meet him. Obviously a recreation (!), but I saw those videos almost 40 years ago and that's what they look like in my head.
Our ancestors who evolved to hunt did not "play fair", they killed animals any way they possibly could. Running them off cliffs, into pits, setting fire to the forest to burn them alive. Might as well say guns and knives aren't hunting, that you have to use your bare feet and hands and that's it.

If the requirements aren't intended to gatekeep then why do they exist? Shouldn't the union want as a member anyone who wants to join?

> Indeed, I accidentally qualified for SAG membership purely on the basis being a background extra for fun

It appears that the SAG-AFTRA "Initiation Fee" is $3000, so if you're an aspiring actress working as a waitress for minimum wage, you need to do more than qualify unless you know someone who can get the fee waived for you (or pay it for you).

> There was a lot of filming activity pre-strike; they literally didn't have enough bodies and were hiring people with any sort of relevant experience.

It sounds like you had an atypical experience as a result of an unusual circumstance. How easy is it to get that kind of work when there isn't a crunch on to get everything in before a strike?

I really disagree with all the comments that make reference to reality - no that is not at all what "reality" is. The fact of the matter is that as an adult, I can draw a line in the sand and either leave a job or report someone who is making the workplace hostile. I can have arguments with friends, but I can also decide certain friendships are over because they've passed a reasonable max threshold for toxicity.

As a kid, you're repeatedly forced into situations where you dont have these same rights - in my experience. Schools try to trick you into
thinking they're arbitrators above the law. They incentivize victims sucking it up, because if you get punched in the face at school, both parties involved will be suspended. However, it didn't strike me until I was in my 20s - this is all a trick - I could call the cops and press charges instead. One of the deceptions of my childhood anyway. Assault is a crime, school is not a special jurisdiction outside US law.

The idea that anyone's circle of chosen friends is not reality to me is nuts, of course everyone faces some amount of conflict with friends. Why does it have to necessarily be conflict from someone you hate with all your being(at a public school) to train you for life? Someone who'll physically assault you? That seems like a made up arbitrary rule. I'm in my 40s and have yet to experience anything like what I did as a 11 year old in my adult life. what exact training for real life did I need that was so valuable to my future? etc.. School sucked!
I don’t entirely disagree with your point of view, I just question what the hell we pay taxes for if we (the people) are still responsible for all the societal issues. If I have to dedicate a portion of my day’s effort to chipping away at these things then why is the government entitled to a significant portion of my money? It doesn’t make sense to me.

LUnix is an actual C64-native operating system that you can write apps for and run on C64 hardware directly. This is a RISC-V emulator running on C64 emulating a Linux boot up.
In sf you rarely hit 30mph unless all you do is the highway and the bridges. Otherwise speed limit is often 25 and these cruise and way nos drive on the safe side, so their average is probably in the tens of mph
At this point, even starting a new hi-tech company of any size in the Bay Area immediately runs into the problem of housing. You wanna hire 20,000 workers? Where will they live?

Buying 50,000 acres of land and covering it with manhattan-style skyscrapers full of condos and apartments solves that problem quite nicely.

Its even self-funding, because no matter how high a salary you pay them, they'll pay over half of it back to you. While you are making a huge profit from the sale. Its a brilliant plan, even for high-tech investors.

Ask HN: What is the real reason for activating an iPhone?
Was the original motivation to force a software update? To check for phones that were reported stolen? To collect information about the users?

Two explanations that I think are unlikely:

First, I don’t think it has anything to do with software piracy since iOS or iPhone OS have always been included for free with the phone. So this is not the same situation as Windows Activation where Microsoft is trying to make sure you paid for the software.

Second, I don’t think it’s related to the carrier or cellular provider because you can (at least currently) activate an iPhone without any carrier or even a SIM card so long as you have an Internet connection (through wifi or USB). Besides, if this were about registering a carrier, the iPhone should connect to the carrier’s servers rather than to Apple’s.
That's pretty much why I don't watch AGT or anything of it's ilk. I really wish this trend would end already...
