I think I need to see some really convincing and detailed examples to understand what's going on here.

Does DSPy have good debugging hooks for things like "print out every prompt that is generated to a log"?

When I'm evaluating a new piece of technology the number one question I want to answer is "what are the projects that adopting this technology enables me to build that I couldn't have built without it?" - either by giving me a new capability or by reducing the amount of work I have to put in to the point that a project now fits in my available time where it didn't before.
It's probably a pretty tenuous connection given a lot of large private sector companies used to have defined benefit pensions too. It was one of a bucket of benefits that was sort of expected. At some level, modulo tax effects, a dollar in benefits is theoretically a dollar not paid in salary but that's not really how things work--certainly not on a 1:1 basis.

If I weren't going to start collecting a pension soon from some ago company that by now has gone through a couple generations of acquisitions would I have been paid more at the time? Maybe I guess. But it's very indirect.
I believe the contract guarantees a certain level of income. The city would no doubt have to pay for this if attempted.
Why Kafka Is the New Data Lake?
Yes, that's written somewhere but I'm not going to quite from private correspondence. I was recently corrected when I mentioned that Show HN is for projects rather than for companies and apparently it is for companies as well. As you can see by clicking the 'Show' link at the top of the page.
I'm doing the same thing with my Pinephone; it's my "daily driver" phone, and also my main computer. It came with a USB C hub, but I could never get the power-passthrough to work, so it couldn't be used for long periods. I got a different hub, and a more powerful PD plug, and now it works fine (I also use a udev rule to bump the input current limit to 3A, since it sometimes chooses 0.5A which isn't quite enough to charge).

I agree about Web video: I've dug up some old youtube-dl scripts, updated them to yt-dlp, and now watch videos comfortably in VLC. I used to fetch videos automatically from YouTube's RSS feeds, rather than visiting the Web site "manually"; I haven't resurrected that yet (assuming those feeds are still published?).
I assume boffinAudio is referring to how the Obama administration funded, armed, and trained Al-Quaeda:

War happens when the other party things that they can defeat you without too great a cost.

Developing weapons for your country is anti-war too.
It would be interesting to have a 10 year cap/sunset agreement on ANY government agreement.

The Fed Chair already has a 10 year appointment, so extend it to contracts, leases, and even laws.

There are a few things that might need longer but in those cases, buying or going without (where someone doesn't want to sell) might be a better option.

The argument is they don't need permission: it's fair use. Whether the courts will agree remains to be seen. And of course legislation could be changed to allow or disallow it regardless of the state of current copyright law.
Yes, and it includes the "ls" program that this thread discusses.
If you are doing that most nights (and I mean with zero other activities planned), then you’re better off living somewhere else, yes.
> Developer presentations for Switch 2 took place behind closed doors, Eurogamer understands, with partners shown tech demos of how well the system is designed to run.

> One Switch 2 demo is a souped up version of Switch launch title Zelda: Breath of the Wild, designed to hit the Switch 2's beefier target specs. (To be clear, though - this is just a tech demo. There's no suggestion the game will be re-released.)

Interesting that it's just the graphics being shown off. Its not clear if it's a "switch 2" or if it'll have other strange hardware/form factor quirks, all we have so far is "the graphics hardware will be better".

One hopes it'll be good.

> Child safety campaigners have spent years pushing the government to be tougher on tech companies over abuse material that is shared on their apps.

> Richard Collard, head of child safety online policy at the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, said: “Our polling shows the UK public overwhelmingly support measures to tackle child abuse in end-to-end encrypted environments. Tech firms can show industry leadership by listening to the public and investing in technology that protects both the safety and privacy rights of all users.”
Got lots of jobs and opportunities through there. More than all other channels combined. Without sending out any solicitations or anything. Just posting and having my LinkedIn profile public.

To be fair 96% of the people who contact me aren't relevant. But I still made nice bank on the 4% who were and it just meant answering a message...
Multiple Projects? Context Switching for Developers
Surely you can imagine some consistent viewpoints that a person could have here, such as "it can be a good thing when someone is able to escape a terrible situation in their current country even if they don't meet the rules for being granted asylum"?
No, but this will largely target producers of software. So they'll have to show they've done their due diligence by probably producing documentation about procedures they followed, designs, conformance to the designs, procedures for on-boarding dependencies, etc. etc. That's no their real shield, however. That's the insurance policy they buy from Lloyd's, who will require that they check all the boxes. They way I won't get sued, as a developer, will probably be to work for a big company that can afford all that or add clauses to my license stating it's either 'for demonstration purposes only' or 'no licensed for use under ...'. Kind of how a lot of financial information is doled out with the disclaimer it's [sic] only for entertainment purposes.
Whatever the opposite of NIH Syndrome is. Because no one was selling it, they couldn't value it.

There was also some concern that apps wouldn't go for it because it made their users look untrustworthy.
I still find ChatGPT (4) far superior to Claude.
Ask HN: How much can prompt engineering improve something?
I've created a Github action to provide code reviews as annotations to PRs [1], but it's providing some pretty odd feedback [2]. I'm not sure if it's my use of openai's functions[3], or my system prompt [4], or if gpt just isn't that good at isolated code reviews.

> Because, that's nowhere near general enough to describe what monads can do

Totally disagree. You are effectively saying you cant define anything unless you include every case, which is clearly nonsense.

> it's not obvious from looking at the definition of a monad that it allows us to do sequential IO

The transform is "transform the wrapped properties into some IO call", and all transforms are explicitly sequential.
There really isn't any information about the console in this article, just that it was demoed. Which is to be expected if they're releasing next year. And if they're not releasing next year, I'm not sure what they expect to sell.
My favorites: adidasy (for generic gym shoes) and electrolux (for vacuum cleaner).

I'm not sure if those are still in generic use but when I lived there long ago these were Western brands that you simply could not buy in Poland and so the brand names became stand-ins for the objects themselves.

The Buddha reference is hilarious!
The ones that get me are the recovery login emails for services I never used. Some of them might be shotgun phishing attempts but some look like they actually were allowed to sign up without ever verifying their email.
You do ask - if the performance was not great before with a team of 10, what was the culture like before? Sometimes, the only way to improve matters is to build up a new team and sideline the previous one where it can't do more damage.
AI sentry towers on the US-Mexico border lends credence to Anduril's name from Lord of the Rings -- "the Flame of the West."

This is completely unrelated, but if you like weapons with cool names (or are looking for names for your next defense-industry startup) the Tolkien legendarium has many!

Angrist - the dagger that cut a Silmaril from Morgoth's iron crown. Means "Iron Cleaver" in Sindarin

Dagmor - "dark-slayer", Beren's short blade

Aranruth - The terrible sword of Thingol, King of Doriath. Means "King's Ire"

The twin bastard swords "Anglachel" and "Anguirel" -- Forged by Eol the Dark Elf from a meteor, these swords were both sort of malevolent and I think were probably inspired by the Norse Tyrfing. Probably also influenced Stormbringer and Mournblade in those terrible Moorcock books.

Celeg Aithorn - A legendary sword from the First Age. Reference to a Valar (God's) blade "lightning", and said to be the blade that will one day cleave the world.

Edit: Ack! I forgot my favorite. "Dramborleg" -- the axe that the man Tuor found during the Fall of Gondolin. He slew three balrogs (!) and many orc champions with it. Means "thudder-sharp", because it both smashes and cuts at the same time. ("smote both a heavy dint as of a club and cleft as a sword")

... that's enough. I know the posted tweet is a serious topic and what I have posted is not, but that's where I'm at today.
I think this is a great idea. I love working with haskell and I’m always excited to see more opportunities for people to learn it in ways that work for them. I learned Haskell mostly through building things without a lot of structured reading, and it can be a rough path but I think it can work out in the end for sufficiently motivated people.
Yeah - and what is crazy is when you think about it - Microsoft generates a 6 digit code.

So it is a "one in a million" to randomly guess what the code is on any given login.

But it is "one in a million" for each Microsoft account you know about - and if they have millions of email addresses, and automate it each day (I also get attempts 1-2 times per day).

Yes - the odds are small - but there is a greater than 0% chance someone can randomly get into your Microsoft account - and there is no way to stop it - even with 2FA etc - this bypasses all of that!!!

Crazy...
Of course all opinions are personal, but I feel connecting the dots
within these issues is an urgent project.

Thanks, would sincerely love you to discuss these things, and you can

Yes but then that would mean less money for the company and the investors, so you see the difficulty that poses. /s
I imagine it would be a better tablet, hopefully it would also have complete backward compatibility.

Edit: I see there are a lot of replies already on my comment but I need to add more thoughts to it, I have the feeling that if Nintendo is going to release a better tablet with complete backward compatibility with the Switch, most developers will continue to develop for the original console instead of developing games for the new hardware as the Switch has sold >120mln of consoles, this is good for the consumer but it's probably not what Nintendo would want if their new generation console is seen as a "New 3ds" (there are only a dozen of games that run exclusively on this console, all the others run on the original hardware).
"Fortunately" for Chicago, there's a decent chance they will, in fact, declare bankruptcy well before the 75 years are up.

Whether the parking meter situation would actually be better run or less exploitative under Chicago's city government is, of course, debatable.
I think that's been memory-holed, now.
That sounds like a nightmare.

But, at least with this method you'll know if your "credit card" calls you on the wrong number.
Knock knock...
I welcome programming English++ with open arms so long as I can scold it when it makes mistakes and it doesn’t require move semantics.

I’m joking of course but I do think LLM’s will become part of the programming language lexer of some kind. If not already being looked into.
The closest I saw was on ios. It was on the Apollo app for Reddit. I think they were called Pixel Pets.
Doing Web related stuff since 1998, the only revolution is cargo cult from FB stuff, while refusing to support Web components like all other frameworks.
Love the idea that people can project how much parking there will be in 75 years. It's possible there won't be cars at all in the areas parking meters currently make most of their money in Chicago.
The new Polaroid I-2 instant camera
exa was the first utility program to segfault on me in over a decade. Brought me a useful dose of realism about the maturity of these projects, so I'm much more measured and careful about adopting them now.
The PR feels forced.
To say someone did something wrong is to say they should have done something else.

They important word is could not should.

Yes, you are literally saying this robot is to blame for the problem.

I am saying the robot caused the issue - for which you can use the word blame if you want to - not that the robot is responsible or could have done otherwise - for which I would reserve the word blame most of the time - which he could not as the issue was caused by a lose cable.

[...] than holding a dumb robot responsible.

I don't think you can hold a robot responsible without stretching the definition of holding responsible quite far.
They are net contributors even before tourism. (Massively so after it, but I suppose it'd be hard to say how much of that would remain, especially in the short term, if we had no current monarchy but still the history, buildings, military, etc.)

Make no mistake this is going to come back around again. Fundamentally the state security apparatus will always want ways to peer into messages and break encryption despite the damages that will inevitably cause when their control mechanisms slip. It's been explained a dozen times to a dozen different administrations and they always come back asking for access.
The Beirut Bank Job
https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/XtremeKoolLetter...
Been getting these on two of my accounts for the last couple of weeks.
Would like to add some needed context (at least I think it's needed):

* This started out because NixOS mastodon account posted on chaos.social local timeline which is rather German Mastodon instance with a strict no-military-content-without-content-warnings moderation policy. People got angry for NixOS posting about the sponsor there and started complaining en masse to drop it. I think most people complaining aren't affiliated with NixOS at all but I'm sure there were also attendees of the conference complaining on Mastodon.

* NixCon is a (compared to other open source conferences like kubecon) extremely small community conference, organised by volunteers who have been under immense pressure this week to pull off all the organisation whilst also having to handle this drama on Mastodon.

* We as a community should definitely discuss during the conference this weekend what we're gonna have as policies for sponsorship going forward. Because as far as I know we haven't had any real formal policies regarding NixCon organisation at all. It has always been kind of community-driven.

* This year the role of the NixOS foundation has been made way more clear in the NixOS community. Before it really was just an entity for receiving donations but it did not actively do anything community building. I'm happy that we have an active Foundation board now that isn't just an administrative formality but an actual voice that can make statements.

* NixOS foundation is having a board meeting today and will have a more clear statement later from what I understand

* I am looking forward to Nixcon this weekend despite this hiccup. And I'm sure we'll figure it out.

Edit:

Also for context a statement from the founder of Anduril: https://twitter.com/PalmerLuckey/status/1699590452847272044
It's a 16 MW turbine, and the record it set is 384.1 megawatt-hours over a 24-hour period. So... 16.004 MW average. Basically, topped out the whole time (thanks to that "smart blade adjustment", whatever exactly that is.)
I don’t remember how to find a job without.
Do people really use indeed.con and the like ?

Also, this is corporate me. I control every bit of what I wrote there and never actually use the social aspect.

Since they have done a great job dealing with big oil, big tobacco, big ag, big pharma, big banks, big auto, big telco, big media, big soda, big accounting, the mil complex etc I shall not be holding my breath.

The US political class is bought and paid for. They exist to do what the corps want. There is a good reason Tim Wu quit. Its a non contest.
I've even been to a few restaurants where they go a step further. Each table's QR code is unique and you can see the current tab for the table. You can then split and pay the check straight from that QR code. Pretty nice.
But the city also has to guarantee the company lost revenue if the city removes meters. So any efforts to redesign streets with less cars and parking can't proceed.
I never send out CVs and haven't in ages. But I get a lot of contacts on LinkedIn with job offers. To be fair, I very rarely take a job offer because I'm so picky (and expensive) but I did get a lot of other opportunities (speaking engagements, writing opportunities etc.).

I might be an outlier though. I wrote a few books and have a big CV with a lot of experience. My kind of background doesn't really fit for most jobs.
Have we already said it enough times that CLAs are awful and they deserve to die?

They impose an unrequired additional legal burden on top of the standard software license.

They often require voluntary unpaid contributors to offer free support on indefinite term for software that they aren't supposed to maintain.

They are part of the same problem as the proliferation of custom T&Cs on online services (private parties creating whatever arbitrary set of binding rules they want on top of the standard law, assuming that they're so important that people are ok to waste half of their lives reading their legalese bullshit).

The difference is that, whilst there's no golden standard for a universal T&Cs that applies to all online services, we have one for software licenses.

That's the GPL, MIT, BSD or whatever license that basically every FOSS project slapts in their LICENSE.txt.

So, please, just stick to your LICENSE.txt, let your contributors stick to the basic common-sense rules written your CONTRIBUTING.md, and reserve a spot for CLAs in the graveyard of awful tech ideas that nobody should mourn.
It's still not clear if the lens is made of glass like the SX-70 or the SLR-680.
When SoftBank is selling, why are you buying?
Totally agree with you.

OPs complaint about the police being able to gather private information of their citizens without a judge having to agree to it first might be seen as violating separation of powers, but as long as a judge still decides what the punishment is after seeing the evidence, I merely see this as a state not respecting individual's privacy, which is probably not a common thing to require for a democracy.

Sadly those erosions are to be seen in many EU countries currently...

I think because advocating for not having children is often something that progressives do and as such the author could be biased against nationalism, no matter the historical context.
It's your prompts they are way to casual also starting your system prompt with "You are a lazy..." will make sure you get crappy output. Tell the AI what you want to do ie. annotate PRs on github and then maybe break it further down. If you don't it expect the full code available that's why you get the unused imports "errors". You are explaining just so it can make errors but not enough to do the task you want it to do. Also scrap the json part... it knows.
FAQ:

When is the optimal time to sell your used Switch 1?
Presumably any explicit policies along these lines would require the "true up" payments described in the article. If you mean a non-mandated move away from cars in that time, the only plausible scenario I'd imagine that happening is one where Chicago has much more serious problems than a bad contract.
The Music Classical app is basically just a separate Music UI for searching/discovering. Anything you add to your library also appears in the regular Music app. Which I personally found disappointing cause I would have liked my libraries to be separate since my classical listening is going to differ from my normal music listening and I'd rather a random movement of a random piece to not show up in my shuffle.

Though it also seems kind of necessary because the Classical app is missing some basic playback features like "play next" or queue management.
By controversial you mean that they are conservative. I'm not aware of anything they've done that is particularly controversial; furthermore, if the standard for controversial is that a person has donated money to political candidates and organizations that would make a huge portion of big tech figures controversial.
There's a clause in the contract about guarantees for lost revenue, so the city may have to pay anyway.

No, that can't be the point, because Slow_Dog specifically states that the article should show how to find a binary string of length 5 that isn't contained in a list of six such strings:

> It shows how you can find a binary string that's not in the list; fine. But it's conveniently a list of 5 strings of length 5. It doesn't show how you'd find a new string of length 5 that's not in a list of 6 such strings, or 31 such strings.

The reason it's not showing that is that it's showing an example of diagonalization. Slow_Dog would apparently prefer that the article about diagonalization discuss some other technique than diagonalization.
Nothing really; and nobody has a thing like liveview that I'm aware of. For Go, I use a request router (chi) and some helper packages for mundane things like reading env configs. I write the backend as an http api and then have a separate frontend, currently learning svelte for that. Go is very batteries included.
Am I missing what you are referring to?
