> explicit over implicit

Go was the first language I used that broke an explicit check for nil/null/None. I had to cast my nil to a different kind of nil in order for the program to run correctly.
C/Python/Java/C++ didn't have this issue. Null was always null in each of these languages.

Further, go panics in surprising ways sometimes. A library developer might decide to panic and cause your program to crash, when that library was only used in your program for optional behavior.
The constant stream of features getting added to pgvector is impressive. Also, really love some of the benchmarks and explanations that were thrown in here.
Welcome to modern YouTube, where channels are heavily pressured to increase user watch-time or they'll get penalised.

I'm a huge fan of YouTube, it's the only tv/video/etc type content I watch in life, yet they're intent on destroying everything that made it amazing in the first place.

Show HN: Open Interpreter – CodeLlama in your terminal, executing code
Hey HN. Over the summer I built Open Interpreter, a CLI that lets you ask Code-Llama or GPT-4 to write/run code.

It runs multiple languages (Python, Shell, HTML/CSS, Node JS rn) then sends the output back to the language model.

It’s essentially an open-source, local implementation of OpenAI’s Code Interpreter. No limits on file size, runtime timeouts, or web access.

Everything is streamed beautifully, rendered with Markdown, and syntax highlighted.

Try it out and let me know what you tried! - Killian
Python didn't win, really, in any meaningful sense. It's probably the most ubiquitous language, because it's a great teaching language, and works reasonably well for a bunch of different kinds of users -- but only to a point. A jack-of-all-trades is a master of none. It's extraordinarily difficult to use Python in large, high-scale, or otherwise non-trivial systems. (Same is true for Ruby, for the record.)
This article made me laugh out loud more than once. My favorite quote:

> Plenty of these findings are interesting and some are useful (especially if you are a rich, lonely monkey).

You'll have to read the article for the context.
I can't imagine Python's welcoming community has anything to do with it. If anything it was Ruby that had a reputation for being the most welcoming community with its MINASWAN (cringe) philosophy.
My thought was that you didn't need a bunch of people in the field to hit a large area in one go.

Scala's implicits are a lot less unpleasant because the type system means that you (and, perhaps more importantly, your IDE) know exactly where they're happening.

This is a good point.

I've done a fair bit of R and there is no doubt that as a pure data science tool it's usually quicker to produce something than Python.

But I prefer Python because inevitably any data science project ends up having other "bits" that aren't pure data science, and Python's super string general purpose computing libraries are hard to beat.
You are forgetting that as the tooling gets better and the capability of individuals increases, so too does the capability of a group of individuals working together, using the same tools you would be. You are still not going to match the level of quality as a talented team pooling their experience, time and cognitive abilities to create something. This team can also afford more compute capacity, to the same thing in half the time, or the same time at twice the quality, so to speak.

I am excited at being able to do exactly the things you mentioned, and I definitely plan to. But I dont live under any illusion that the capability of one man will supercede the capabilities of a group that uses the same "equipment" per se.

From what I can tell, this is a production-ready differential dataflow solution with basically, a DSL. Is Java supposed to be the selling point as in, "oh it's just Java so you can run it on your Java things?" Why not just make it some GRPC-thing with SDKs or even its own well-documented DSL?
> > This would seem open-ended enough to apply to individual eggs.

No sources here cuz I just got home and I'm tired, but I swear there was some press recently(?) about IVF clinics fretting about egg storage/disposable for exactly this reason. I don't remember if anything came of it, but I think some IVF technicians were worried about going to jail if they, for instance, forgot to put an unfertilized egg back in the freezer and it went bad.

And then when you get to fertilized but non-implanted embryos, of course, that's when the "life begins at conception" crowd starts having their say.
What I'd like to figure out is how there are still so many Nazis despite readily-available facts that Naziism is racist delusions?

And how are countries like Germany still doing kinda okay despite making it illegal to do Nazi stuff? Isn't it a slippery slope directly from banning Naziism direct to North Korean-style authoritarianism?
I was watching the most recent 74 Gear video and there was a graphical demonstration of how pilots are reliant on GPS while taxiing.

Sure, I believe that in the air, GPS is redundant. But what Kelsey explained is that, before GPS and graphical maps, pilots on the ground would rely on paper charts that were manually updated and placed in huge binders. They would scour these paper charts to understand what taxiways they needed to take across the airport to get from gate to runway and back again.

Nowadays, the pilots have a nice screen where an image of the airport is displayed underneath a nice arrow depicting the aircraft in its GPS location and velocity. It's more difficult to get lost now, because you can see at a glance on the screen where you are. Looking outside your windows can often confuse, and fog and darkness and unfamiliarity can confound someone who is already lost.

The issue on 74 Gear was that someone got lost and thought they were in an entirely different location, when actually they had intruded on an active runway while just trying to taxi. A very dangerous situation, as you can tell.

I believe that, if GPS were jammed and unavailable, pilots would possibly be able to fall back on these paper charts, that is, if they are even being maintained anymore, but it would be error-prone, and any taxiing pilot would need to exercise utmost caution not to get lost like that.
Yep. These assholes aren't even legitimate NIMBYs; they're land-speculating trash masquerading as NIMBYs.

I went to an anti-SMO protest just to keep apprised of their arguments. Talk about a disgusting spectacle: a bunch of rich white people pretending to be outraged about an airport they claim is only used by rich white people. All so they can steal an irreplaceable resource from their neighbors, the region, the nation, and their own children.
Next he’s going to build a cultural AI mind-bomb logical-virus, and start manipulating massive amounts of people.
There was a park near my aunt that had a decommissioned delta wing Korean War jet in the sand pit and a caged steel sculpture that doubled as a maze for kids. Nothing of the sort can be found today because of the cultural shift to helicopter parenting and placing zero risk above all else. I'm wondering if kids today grow up without as much of an understanding of their physical boundaries as a result.
It does, because the water is aerated as it comes out of the faucet.
I agree with a lot of what you say, but it's not a complete wash. I know if I go off my meds I go to a bad place pretty quickly. That's not society, that's something a bit off with pile of cells that I currently call "me."

Humans and society are messy. There aren't easy answers and we are a culture dying for easy answers. Sometimes it really does help to have an impartial person sitting there just letting you bitch once a week. Sometimes it doesn't.
> the same people who decry this will also decry the government taking charge of internet moderation at the ISP level, probably even louder.

Probably, yes. Which is why I mentioned the first part of the issue. Otoh, when the government does a takedown with court orders, there's always people yelling about it, but it's not as loud as when the government does a takedown without at least the appearance of due process or when a business does it without any due process.

> content on there is already probably illegal.

If the issue is illegal content, there should be indictments and court orders. Or at least, search warrants and seized equipment.

> If I run a business, and I know a customer is doing something like that, I have an ethical obligation to not facilitate it.

Depends on the circumstances of the business. IMHO, common carriers and businesses that are an awful lot like common carriers have an ethical standard to deliver all messages and parcels that are not unduly burdensome to the delivery of other messages and parcels.

This standard allows for blocking network abuse, probably spam, ddos, explosive packages, packages that emit noxious fumes or odors, etc. But not delivering letters because of their content isn't ethical for a letter delivery service, in my mind.
Age is pretty mutable (until death).
There's a finite demand for babies to adopt. In a world where it was easy to transfer a few-week-old fetus to an artificial womb as a back-up method of birth control, the supply of babies would exceed demand. That would be a bad situation.

Seems the power grid has the capability of delivering three phase power, but many (most?) homes in quite a few European countries don't actually have all three phases delivered.

You see if they don’t have it delivered, it’s not a modern connection. Conundrum solved!

This analysis just feels totally off to me. Google didn't miss anything with MapReduce and TensorFlow. So what that Hadoop and PyTorch came out and became open source favorites? It's not like that had any significant negative business impact to Google. On the flip side, Google's open sourcing of Kubernetes did win the container orchestration "war" (RIP Mesos), and it's not like that brought them any great benefits.

I agree with another commenter, where Google missed the boat was cloud. Ironically, AppEngine came out pretty early in 2008, but its original incarnation was much too "Google-specific". Google just didn't have the corporate DNA to understand that, sure, Datastore can allow infinite horizontal scalability, but most people don't want to deal with eventual consistency, and they just want a plain-old SQL DB. It took Google a long time to come around to understand how other businesses use their infrastructure.

My CS teacher in high school used to talk about writing FORTRAN code on punched cards in the 1960s where you could “edit” the deck by reordering the cards, type new cards on a punch machine, etc. Remember that 80 columns was the standard width for terminals for a long time because a punch card had 80 columns.

Minicomputers and mainframes had advanced interactive facilities in the early 1970s, you could use BASIC on a PDP-11 and it was about the same as using BASIC on an Apple ][ (no graphics though unless you had a GIGI terminal), edit Assembly, FORTRAN and COBOL programs with the TECO text editor and compile just like you would with C or Go on a Linux machine today. By the 1980s most mainframe development was done with VM/CMS which was a lot like using virtual machines today, to do development you would spin up a VM that ran a single user OS that was a lot like MS-DOS (or maybe it was the other way around.)
Another reason is how much the standard library provided (csv, zip, so much). The XKCD comic says it all

This seems needlessly critical. If the fire department puts out a fire, it seems like most people would consider that a good use of resources.

Tearing out an abstraction requires a lot of knowledge about the abstraction and how it is used throughout the system. Over time, statistically zero maintainers will have that level of knowledge about any non-trivial system.

In contrast, duplicated code may be annoying, but it is usually simple to understand and maintain by anyone with knowledge of the project and the programming language.

Leaky abstractions are way way way worse than no abstraction at all.
> If you had met hopelessly, chronically addicted people, the people for whom their addiction has utterly destroyed their life and they're pleading with you for help and they just keep getting worse and worse, I don't think you'd be so quick to say that all you need is individual self-control.

I know there are such people, but they are a small minority. If "addiction" is only talking about them, then the response to the GP is simple: sure, "Just Say No" doesn't work for that small minority, but it can still work for everyone else, and shouldn't be discarded on that account.

My read of the GP is that they were not using "addiction" in this narrow sense, and my response was based on that interpretation. But they're welcome to correct me if I'm wrong about that interpretation.
This is what all those chain analysis companies claim to solve for, and allegedly law enforcement agencies have done in the past to de-anonymize people. Perhaps you are right about it not being feasible given enough volume and so on.

But at that point, if a government level threat actor wants to stop you from doing something and you are in their jurisdiction, jail cells tend to be quite effective at limiting people from spending money. If using non-government sanctioned cryptocurrencies is a crime in the future, than it doesn’t really matter if it is perfectly privacy preserving or not does it if you need to pay taxes in not the privacy preserving crypto.

Maybe, maybe not, not all groups are created equally. I cite in another comment about Stardew Valley being made by one person while, say, EA games are made by teams.

A lot of these companies over hired the past 3 years in a mini arms/labor race. People were hopping jobs and getting 25%+ increases in comp. No one could hire fast enough or enough people. But now that the economy is cooling, there isnt any free money, and some of the labor hired isn't doing work to the level they are being paid at, companies are looking for ways to trim fat. This is an easy way to do it. Everyone that moved, or that the company feels is being lazy, or not contributing to the level they want will be the first to go. Im not arguing the validity of their thoughts and if remote work is good or bad, or etc.... It's just an easy way to save a lot of money, and keep better tabs on your workforce.

MIT dropping SICP/Scheme for Python conicided with the general decline of education as an end in itself. Python is the VHS of computer languages. I couldn't believe it when I heard MIT dropped a language renowned for its elegant lambda implemenation in favour of a language in which lambdas were not only frowned upon but literally throttled. I think it says everything that MIT ditched Scheme and SICP at the same time as it would be near impossible to teach SICP with Python.
