> What's the argument against?

If speech is violence then we have no means other than acts of violence to explore, discuss, and debate ideas. We need to be able to disagree with each other without it being assault and battery.

We need the right to offend, make uncomfortable, and challenge.

Exposure to an idea shouldn't be treated the same as being beaten with a fist because acts of violence are criminalized. Criminalizing unpopular speech is exactly what free speech is supposed to protect us against. Our freedom and ability to demand change depends on the ability to speak out against oppression without fear of being sentenced to prison just because of our words. If we need to speak out against those in power, we need the ability to use words they don't want to hear.

Blurring the lines between words that offend us and actual violence is dangerous and can only lead to actual violence. If there's something we disagree on, let's keep talking about it to reach a solution or at least an understanding of one another. If there is no difference between speech and violence we may as well just pull out guns instead and let might make right.

> The threat of violence is violence, speech that is an implicit threat of violence is violence.

Some speech really does rise to the level of threat and incitement to violence and we already have first amendment exceptions carved out in law to deal with that. We have laws against harassment. We don't need to expand that to include anything that someone doesn't want to hear. Even on the more extreme end, courts have tended to agree https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hate_speech_in_the_United_Stat...
Your view of history is not accurate. Python and Ruby were not really competing back then for building web apps. The most popular languages for that in the 00s were Perl and PHP. Ruby on Rails came along and became popular for a while and some popular sofware was written with it.

But Rails based apps then quickly developed reputations for performance issues and for managing gem dependencies being a nightmare. Then Node came along and was the new exciting thing. npm was easier to use and a lot of people jumped on that for a while. It was exciting because most of us were already fluent in JS. So it was just using a language we knew in a new context rather than picking up something totally new.

Why is Python the soup du jour lately? Well it has been around for a while and has a reputation for being mature and having mature libraries. It also became the best language to hire junior devs because of its ubiquity in US universities. Even if you don't go into CS as a major or minor there's a good chance of getting exposed to Python. It also has some advantages for collaborative codebases like the language itself being opinionated on formatting and having lots of well developed tools.

Is it the Right Choice(tm)? I dunno. It definitely has downsides as well. But every team has to decide for themselves, and not all good reasons are technical (eg the larger pool of junior devs today than say, RoR.)
It's just good anti-doxxing hygiene. Please do accept my sincere apologies that I failed to provide you with several years worth of other comments to stalk through.
I'm not following. How does program-as-a-function matter in this regard? Isn't it a question of security and permissions? In most operating systems, compilation, linking, and run-time libraries determine dependencies. (I don't know how much of this will differ in something like Fomos.)
What sort of safeguards do you have to prevent the LLM from emitting sql queries that edit the data?

In addition, the imposition of RTO strictures on employees who are neurodivergent (which makes up a relatively high percentage of the valley and other tech hubs for reasons I don't need to explain here) can also be considered a kind of immoral behavior since it is (intentionally or not) optimized to cause acute distress to those who fit into those neurotypes. I have intentionally avoided the tech sector for this reason and a couple of others (mostly to do with physical disabilities and inability to get medicated for things like ADHD)
> If my country had huge amounts of excess fracking gas and the infrastructure to transport it overseas already existed but noone would want to buy it because it's much cheaper buying it from Russia transported through pipelines, then escalating an ongoing conflict in Ukraine would be highly useful.

>The operator of the Daily Stormer, Andrew Anglin, is currently a fugitive

Is there a warrant out for his arrest? "Owing money but not paying it and/or avoiding the debt collectors" isn't exactly being a fugitive, otherwise many of americans defaulting on their debt would also be "fugitives".
Yeah… I was hoping someone had some super cool forum they look at every day. Definitely played a card there. I guess I am as up to speed as you are.
Isn't that Rama framework(Nathan Marz's new thing from Red Planet labs) the latest iteration of "lets completely abstract computation latency/complexity from the framework"? In my mind it tries to do different things depending on who you are. In the words of a colleague, "I am excited someone is trying to remove SQL"

Rama seems like if you are a fullstack or backend dev then it can provide you an easy way to have a(low latency) view of your data to build upon. If you are a Data Scientist you can use the thing to pull necessary data for analysis and slice and dice it.

In a regular OS there would be a bunch of implicit things provided by the OS that the app can access, while in this OS those things are explicit in the context.

But I don’t think that’s really that significant… you could, e.g., enumerate all the implicit things the OS provides, express them in a structure, and now you’ve got your explicit context. The “fomos” context is only as simple as it is because the OS provides a small number of simple things. Expand those to full OS capabilities and the context will get full OS complex.

The odd thing about this “OS” is that a running app is just the start function called repeatedly in a loop. This makes one app call a single coherent slice of app execution. That’s kind of interesting, but makes this pretty limited. E.g., it looks like apps are entirely cooperative. It’s maybe more of a cooperative execution environment.

Maybe it would be good for some embedded uses?

Again, you're commenting under an article which shows that some airlines are betting the annoyed passengers will not continue to deal with it.

If you claim to believe that "families are able to travel by air in a. case of emergency", "grandparents can afford to see their grandchildren" and "most children get to see how vast and beautiful the world is" somehow follow from Newton's laws, even though we just had a two-year period with major loss of access to air travel, well...

I lived out there for a long time, in California City, taught all over Kern County. Saw a lot of wind and solar go up on long drives. The blinking red at night is surreal. And the oceans of black solar panels make huge deserts feel weirdly small.

Saw housing prices go way up too. Always wondered if that was connected to the renewables.

In any case it really did feel like a strange realistic future of renewables and home depot houses and military complexes on an off-world colony that was only partially terraformed. Or a previously inhabitable planet with a degraded environment.

The most sci-fi place I've ever lived by far. We loved it. Glad to see it make the news for something other than Kevin McCarthy.
The thesis of your comment seems to be that Gannet should have been in the title, with your other two points being supporting evidence.

I've never heard of Gannet before today.

I don't really mean much by the downvote. It's a personal pet peeve of mine when people comment on the headline, and I think it's against the spirit of this part of the guidelines:

> Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—e.g. article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. They're too common to be interesting.

My downvote definitely didn't mean that I didn't think there was something substantive to say about Gannet's involvement, or that I disagreed.

(The guidelines also tell us not to talk about voting, which I'm breaking of course, but I do try to respond when people genuinely want to know why I voted a certain way. I understand why that part of the guidelines exist, but I have mixed feelings about it, I don't see how else people are meant to know why they were downvoted.)
The beauty of metric system is in its simplicity. No matter which ratio you want, you can easily calculate the proper approximation, with necessary precision. If you want, you can also precisely call that ratio - just name the numerator and denominator, if you so insist on precision - in practice in all blueprints authors understand the precision and stop at some decimal digit.
That there's still no magical way to know for free which companies are honest about their pricing and which aren't, in the absence of regulation. You can claim that you're just a happy customer and not a paid astroturfer, but it's not easy for me to practically confirm that (again, assuming there's no regulation to stop people falsely claiming those things).
The demo is on Mac, does this work on Windows or Linux?

Backbone operator who was effected by this. We had a large number of routers in production with this bug, we were aware and upgrading as fast as we could, but with 99.999% uptime SLA's we only have so many minutes per router we could afford for downtime/outages. We had schedules in place (approx 3 months of out-of-hours upgrades) 1 week warning was a bullshit move. Dropping the BGP sessions on 1000's of routers globally was stupidity.

Bearing in mind we also couldn't just "apt-get upgrade" in place, most boxes required hard reboots to apply the patches.

The answer to your question is no, as per a few others have said, Don't violate Rule #1. We see bad actors very often, our job is to keep the bits flowing and the internet online.

Keeping the internet online is painful enough as it is without "researchers" dropping thousands of routers to "prove a point."

> That doesn’t sound like a very good strategy. The athlete is likely much heavier than the swing, and applying a backwards force to the swing will mostly just push the swing back.

I assume this is why GP specified "on the backwards swing." That is (as I understand it) when the swing is behind the crossbar, say at 45⁰ backwards. Then any pushing motion to propel the jumper forward would transfer through the chains to the bar, which is presumably stable.

That said, I'm not sure if this is a good strategy, since you're starting further back. Yes, the world record for a standing jump is over 3 meters, but if you're starting 3 meters back it's not very good.

(I'm assuming the measurement is from the crossbar, not from the origin of the jump, which would be very hard to measure.)

Don't need I can follow. But some apps will have dependencies -- some might even be tantamount to a standard library in other OSes. The Context provides all that too?

I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a... belief.
Pretty much everything that isn't a logic CPU is a 2nd class citizen at Intel fabs. It explains why a lot of oddball stuff like this is TSMC. Example: Silicon Photonics itself is being done in Albuquerque, which was a dead/dying site.

Is the U-235/U-238 ratio different from Earth's? Surely they have that data from the mass spec? Naively I'd think that's the most direct, incontrovertible way of distinguishing an extrasolar meteorite from some geochemistry process that enriches and depletes different elements.
I believe the issue goes much deeper. Google itself did not have a scalable SQL DB when App Engine first came out. Spanner was still being designed. Even if Google understood that customers wanted a SQL DB, it could not give them that.
Honestly, even if the achievement is legit, this article stenches of snake oil right from the beginning. "greatly speeding up response time in AI systems for such time-sensitive operations as autonomous driving and space travel".
> The reality is that it's just a bunch of assholes gossiping about other assholes

Kiwi Farms has been more than just gossip. It's been used by people to harass people in the real world. People there have taken things way too far in the past, and that behavior has been encouraged and supported by the culture of the site. I don't think the forum should be silenced, but it's simply not accurate to say that it's nothing more than online gossip. It has at times been the source of outright harassment and abuse. I think we'd agree that it's an issue that needs to be handled with moderation and the law, but it's also a real problem.
A properly sized tea kettle would solve that but since you already have the electric kettle there’s no sense in buying a new stovetop vessel until the electric kettle burns itself up.

Show HN: Study Plannr – ChatGPT Powered Study Plans
Hi HN,

I started off 20yrs ago as a programmer, then I became a computing teacher, now into edtech. With the launch of ChatGPT, I was captivated by it and decided to explore the use of it in development and education.

Study Plannr generates personalized study plans with ChatGPT, based on subjects, topics, and assessment dates, helping K12 kids with their revision.

I used NextJS and chatGPT 3.5 API for this app. I I host it on digitalocean.

I developed this app because I have a K12 kid who needs alot of help in his studies. Usually, when his exams come, i try to create a study plan for him but it was quite challenging. Hoping this app can help.

Do let me know any comments or feedback. Thanks!
A crying child right next to me is difficult, but I've never blamed the parents. A crying child a couple rows away? Somehow relaxing to know someone else is having a worse flight than I am. (Either the kid or the parent.) It's just not the end of the world, and its temporary for both of us. Easier (for me) to accept than an adult playing a video without headphones.
Judging by the very contentious opinions on it, I'd rather stick with ORMs that have been chugging along for over a decade without fail.

Thank you so much!

Yes, both — anywhere you can run Python.

For app control, we pass in some system information (like OS) into the system message. The LLM then knows to use Applescript for Mac, PowerShell for Windows, `cal` and `alpine` for Linux, etc.
Personally for swing jumps I would only start counting the distance at the furthest point of the swing when it is fully perpendicular, and not from the point of the jump.

This does look pretty close to 3 meters doesn't it?

It may seem pedantic, but a simulation in essence "displays the right answer" while an emulator "shows your work". Especially with old games where devs were trying to squeeze performance out of systems, there are many timing or undocumented behavior tricks they used that a simulator may not replicate properly.
Fear not. Teachers, even baby teachers early in their career, very quickly learn the utter emptiness of “evidence-based practices” and “research-supported high-impact instructional strategies.” I have honestly not met a single damned teacher, including ones who lead professional development sessions, who believes that you can actually learn anything about real, day-to-day teaching by reading the shit education researchers produce. Even people who use educational research to justify their teaching methods usually only do so to satisfy an administrator or district-level person who needs to check some box mandated by the state or federal government to be checked. Among teachers, the real conversations are about adapting methods or strategies in order to make them realistically applicable. Or, honestly, how you can describe your instructional methods in such a way that they seem to be “supported by research.” Actual teaching is very much a craft. Justifying what you have found through experience to actually work with students is just an exercise in bullshitting.
