I agree about short feedback loops, but this was there long before LLMs, and got me into programming initially.

I love that I could compile my program and try it without needing to check it with a teacher or superior. It cost literally nothing to try, and if it failed the computer would tell you it was wrong.

In a sense you are constantly bouncing off of reality (or the limits of the compiler) and that allows you to learn really quickly by experiment. LLMs with their tendency to hallucinate or just provide you with the solution seem like they could be both a blessing and a curse (for learning).
Also: Boeing 15 billion dollars, amazon 11b, intel 8b, ford 7.7b, foxconn 4.8b, etc.

This organised propaganda against Tesla needs to stop, sure Musk is an a*hole, is he an evil a*hole like some othe CEOs? I don't know...

Electric cars are still something beneficial to the sustainability of the car industry and the environment. And Ford still got more money...

Foxconn uses slaves to make a luxury device that's marketed as environmentaly friendly because it now uses the same cable forced on it by the EU that others used for a decade... and it got more than Tesla.

Amazon is just an online store and cloud provider, and the way it treats its low level workers is as close to slavery as the law permits it to be, and it still got more etc.

I mean you can get away with a post like this on Reddit but you should at least expect HN to have people will enough critical thinking skills to see what your title is suggesting and why what it's suggesting is both wrong when put into context and also politically pushed with how much we see it repeated online.

Show HN: I Made an App to Summarize YouTube Videos in Just One Click
Hey folks! My weekend project, Summify.io, has officially launched!

It's an AI-driven tool that simplifies your life by summarizing YouTube videos in just a single click. Now, you can get the gist of those long vids without breaking a sweat!

Built from the ground up as a solo developer, it's been an incredible journey full of late nights, countless coffees, and the spirit of indie hacking

The amazing response from our private release has motivated me on to start building even more features.

Can't wait for you to check it out and share your thoughts! Try Summify.io now and let's me know what you think
And if you consider knowledge of the id sufficient for access.

Which, despite the fact that it really shouldn't be, still seems to occur every so often. Even in situations where the ids are very much not random.

Honestly if I have to read one more article about a 'hacker' who 'leaked' some secret government piece ahead of time because they thought to increment the date in the url of some yearly report, I'm going to lose my mind.
My favorite are the people who send weekly (ACTION REQUIRED) emails that begin with, "If you don't use xyz, please disregard". Do these people have no self awareness? Is it some kind of outward narcissism?
This looks interesting, thanks for sharing your effort!
I'm curious if this is also approachable from the Go package level.

Would you mind adding a little README section replicating one of your YAML examples but using your package natively in Go?
I am guessing, for the same reason I can have a picknick in the local park with a few friends and discuss intimate matters. This takes place in public because that is convenient, but I still don't appreciate random passers-by interjecting their opinion. It's fine to listen in though, if you're sitting close by. Most people intuitively understand this.

Online, this intuition sometimes disappears, and people feel that the fact that something is readable to them, implies it is meant for them to interact with.
Have you looked at Ilograph? It's diagrams-as-code that supports first-class sequence diagrams. E.g. https://app.ilograph.com/demo.ilograph.Ilograph/Get%2520diag...
Spanner is also bespoke, and was probably designed with that in mind.

Anything with a clustering index - MySQL (with InnoDB), SQL Server - will absolutely hate the page splits from a random PK.

Postgres also doesn’t like it that much, for a variety of reasons. Tuples are in a heap, but the PK is still a B+tree (ish), so it still suffers from splits. They also use half the default page size as MySQL, AND their MVCC implementation doesn’t lend itself to easy updates without rewriting the entire page.

Go run benchmarks with some decent scale (tens of millions of rows or more) on any DB you’d like between UUIDv4 and UUIDv7 as the PK, and see how it goes.

No, the conspiracy doesn't belong here. There's a vibrant mainstream world trying to pin down or disprove dark matter, but there's a phenotype of cynic that's really common here on HN that precisely deserves the snark - low effort comments dismissing mainstream research while clearly not understanding it.
I have Iraqi friends that lost multiple family members due to bombings in the 2003 war. I think most Iraqis know lost someone due to the war. Your argument is weird, do you not think that the staggering death toll from the Iraq war affected people there? I know they are just statistics when you don't actually live through it. But considering that you seem to be affected by the Russian invasion I'd think you'd reflect on that and realize that all those numbers also represent actual suffering, loss and death?

It's so weird that considering your experience, you are blatantly dismissing and downplaying what the US did. You can talk about how bad Russia is without white washing the Iraq war. Iraqis also died fighting against invaders, by the way

I think I disagree with:

> Based on this information, you should select one procedural language, one object language, one scripting language, and, possibly, one assembly language which will comprise your core skill set.

but only because realistically you should discard 'assembly language' and swap it for 'browser-supported language' these days. Learning assembly language is basically useless at this point.
That's definitely the way. When I used to use Emacs, it was always running, and my $EDITOR was set to emacsclient. I had two monitors, one fully dedicated to Emacs, the other to the rest.

most of the most prominent AI researchers including 2 out of 3 Turing award winners + Ilya Sutskever are very very sold on AI safety. Imagine being a rando on the internet calling their research a joke. Imagine the audacity and ego. Human ego is such a weird thing.
This uses E Ink's Kaleido display, which uses colored pixels (subpixels) to create color. Subpixels are standard for emissive color screens, but for reflective screens they result in very dark images (and consequently very low contrast) compared to paper.

For example, to display a red image, the screen simply turns the green and blue subpixels black. So two thirds of the screen area is black and only one third is red. For printed paper the whole sheet would be red. And to display white, the subpixels can't turn white (they can only turn black), so they have to mix white from red, green and blue. So each subpixel only reflects around a third of the visible spectrum, while for white paper the whole area reflects all visible wavelengths. Making the colored Kaleido screen very dark in comparison.

The problem is well known. If you want acceptable contrast in a color e paper screen, you need a display technology which can change colors inside the pixels, not just the brightness. E Ink does have such technology, but it is very slow and offers only very few colors.

I was under the impression those are for when someone is ill, but I can't substantiate that.
Doing a proper fair comparison of microarchitectures is incredibly difficult. Even measuring the the power consumption of the core alone may be rather tricky. Especially if you don't have access to the design details.

So when it says 'same system active power' I'm assuming it means measuring the power consumption of the SoC with the Apple core vs the power consumption of the SoC with the A510s in when they're both running software that should stress the little cores and not use the big cores.

It could be that the Apple core microarchitecture is genuinely better on perf/watt, it could be the different process nodes the cores were built on. It could be the choices made by the implementation engineers when they were making the chip (you can get huge swings in power consumption, area and timing results just by changing some settings). Apple for instance could have really valued perf/watt and spent lots of time on the implementation side here, where a Qualcomm/Samsung SoC they just slapped it in, cranked up the frequency as hard as they could to get nice headline numbers and sticking in a tight area budget and called it a day (which Arm has no control over). Perhaps some other vital system component (e.g. the DDR controller) has bad power efficiency and a lot of the power is being lost to that.

To do an actual comparison you'd need to run a power simulation of the two core RTLs side by side, look at workloads that actually represent what you want to do with the efficiency cores and try to make the systems they're running in as close as possible. Only Apple, being the only company with access to both sets of RTL, could do this and if they have I seriously doubt they're telling anyone about the results.
OpenAI turning to designer Jony Ive for 'AI iPhone'
I guess the point is listing the public loans and grants awarded to a businessman who happens to be trying to influence the government?

Can be useful in many ways, for example can be a talking point about the wonders of having a federal government. Can be useful for having a context when a businessmen campaigns against taxes and subsidies. Can be used against certain businessmen claiming they did everything by themselves, unlike those unsuccessful poor people or lazy immigrants.

It's something interesting to keep in mind when demanding drastic changes on how the world should work.
I get the opposite impression. Most people don't care. The remaining few, typically bigots, are active online. But you see those kinds of people almost anywhere on the globe.

There are, however, perceptions among the Japanese people that their own products are generally off higher quality.
Except at night. According to [1] at 6:00 this morning Spain was producing its electricity from:

- 42% gas

- 26% nuclear

- 20% wind

- 4.4% hydro

- 0.5% solar

- "negative" from hydro storage (as it was depleted by this time, and was being filled back up)

And Spain only has 7GW of nuclear installed, so it's not difficult to surpass that

Do you consider this LTT video truthful and worth a watch? After their recent bruhaha on the tubes I have pretty much stopped looking at them. The content is arrogant and dismissive, generally low quality. I try to avoid sources that are known for factual errors and biases towards entertainment/charisma over nuance. A bit sad.
If you need more than second precision then millisecond doesn't get you much further. The fact that the epoch ends in 120 years is a bit more worrying, but is also just about non-critical enough that it will be ignored for at least the next century.

Also, to all future historians of 2150, sorry about the mess, but yes we knew this was going to happen. Whatever it was.

Ask HN: What causes HN post relative age vs. timestamp discrepancy?
Looking at the HN front page, some human-readable age labels ("10 hours ago") correspond with timestamp in title attribute

<span class="age" title="2023-10-02T03:10:59">10 hours ago</span>
(provided now = 2023-10-02T13:11:33)

but others are off, sometimes even by days.

For example current front page, archived "2023-10-02T09:36:17" [1] features post

Astronomers discover thousands of red galaxy hearts with powerful radio signals
4 hours ago (title="2023-09-29T15:07:25")

"4 hours" ago would be something in "2023-10-02", but title timestamp goes two days farther. (Skimmed output of makeshift browser dev tools console analytical script [2])

Is it intentional?

I've experienced this exact frustration loop before, but I've also got a major counter-example.

I've been using GPT4 as a tool to interrogate lesson transcripts for a language I'm learning and mention in the prompt to specifically focus on things mentioned in the transcript, if it's not in the transcript, check the helper script I update as I move on through the process (which does sadly take up more and more context window) and figure out if my answer is in one of those previous lessons, and to not guess. Hallucinations are quite rare, I don't think I can name an egregious instance of it in the 25 lesson I've done of approximately 20 minutes in length each, though I'm sure it's happened.

It's also pretty good at suggesting drills based on the contents of the lesson, there are probably a whole bunch of lesson plans in the training data.

The end result has been progress at a pace I could only dream of previously, and it doesn't matter if a question is too basic because I'm asking a computer. There is zero concern of any question being embarrassing because it's only between me, GPT4, and the OAI engineer who happens across the conversaiton.
DBeaver has the same open source 'community' version model.

Beekeeper seems like a less clunky, but also much less featureful alternative. I mean that in a good way really, I quite like the idea of 'slightly more than psql' (but not too much), as long as it's fast/lightweight.

> I would say the inexpensive nature of fossil fuels ignores the total cost of the fuel.

So do most calculations of renewables. Most of them don't ask how much it costs to build enough storage for the energy, or how much terraforming needs to be dun for pumped hydro storage, or how much we need to overbuild (and most renewables take up a lot of land) etc.

> This is factored into nuclear (waste storage) so to ignore its cost for fossil fuels is disingenuous.

That I definitely agree with.
> I don't know about you, 8% sounds a rounding error and probably within the error margins.

It is not. The study is available for you to review if you like.

> And now we have the opposite situation with those who have had the most boosters and now more likely to catch the new variant that is out.

I’d like to see that study. Cite, please.

The label seems to serve as a reference. If have `-> [<end>a]` and `-> [<end>b]` then that's different than having two instances of `-> [<end>a]` from different source nodes.

Being able to visibly label them would still make a lot of sense.
It's crazy isn't it? I'm semi-regularly reminded that, yes, top of the line personal computers were close to €10,000 in todays money.

It was not unheard of for specialist PC's for 3D to run €30,000 in todays money.
> So at some point (which may have already happened) nuclear is just going to be a bad faith argument.

When nuclear (and other forms of fuel) stop providing base loads when main types of renewables don't work (aka a night with no wind), then this will have happened.
I think you need an absurdist lens to not get lost here. Camus had a point.

Think about it, I could say I'm going to adopt a modal diet, which is really what monk mode is, a modal diet of information attention.

How would my modal diet work? One day, fasting, the next day, a steady stream of alcohol, coffee, cigarettes, and processed food.

Consistency is key.

As technical people, we know this from reading the history from Pirsig (ZMM) to Nielsen-Norman:

https://www.nngroup.com/articles/modal-nonmodal-dialog/

Asceticism has never scaled, much like the hacker news post today about intimacy not scaling, or the fact that modality in design was more about making it easy for implementors than making it easy for consumers.

Monks have been and will always be ascetic. There's nothing ascetic about taking a time-honored tradition and using it to mis-label the behavior of people who are overwhelmed by water they cannot breathe but cannot ignore.
Not specifically the topic, but I looked for a library for golang and it is not that common, there is a library in <20 stars, too experimental for me.

The authoritive BBC are saying in short "your peers will call you a monk if you switch off" - they are branding those who choose to ignore media. I don't care where they say it came from, they are perpetuating it. (Also seems disrespectful to actual monks? I don't know)

Not at all, according to the article text. The expectation is that you will pedal backwards for 25 minutes on a stationary bike, without paying to remove it from the docking station. And slightly further down it says the colour is chosen to match the bike "so as not to attract attention". Doesn't really add up.

No the discussion was about boycotting or not using software from even citizens of a country. It wasn't a discussion about the war, it was someone asking since when do we actually have that precedent of boycotting citizens and software made by them too. Even if they operate outside russia. It never was the case before, in any war since the internet was created I guess.

It then veered towards people saying that actually, it's different when Americans invade countries.
I don't understand. What part of this requires that one considers knowledge of the ID sufficient for access? And what kind of access are you talking about?

The performance benefits of index friendly user IDs seem like they would apply even if all user info is secret and requires a token to access... The application still has to look up the user by ID after all?

If I imagine a basic authenticated "get information about me" style endpoint, that would take a user ID and an authentication token. Checking if the token is valid is faster if the user ID is index friendly. Getting the requested information is faster if the user ID is index friendly. Yet a user of the API still needs both the user ID and a token to access anything.

Apple Has What It Needs to Launch Its Own Google Replacement
I don't need to "justify" their immaterialness. The OP needs to explain how it is material.

But whatever...

The merits of ES6 are also present in typescript. Thus claim 1 is immaterial.

Claim two is rebuked by intellisense and very strongly argued against in a shared-code world.

Claim 3 is presumptive that TypeScript would be the only transpilation, despite nue itself being a transpiler. In addition to all the other bundling modern products use for treeshaking, minification, etc. This is an insignificant and thus immaterial point.

Coherent required a harddrive, which was an expensive upgrade for home users at the time. The Amiga 1000 also came with half the RAM of the Commodore 900.

The Amiga was originally supposed to have got another disk operating system, called "CAOS" but the company hired to develop it failed to deliver, so Metacomco was hired to port TRIPOS to the Amiga in time for release (as "Amiga DOS" / dos.library).

CAOS was supposedly supposed to be more Unix-like than the AmigaDOS we got: in file names, protection (with user IDs!) and in command syntax.
