>Constant terminal commands

Believe it or not, people like that. I think linux users, for the most part, still recognize computers are tools and like all tools there is a learning curve. We shouldn't dumb things down to make it less "hostel" and there's no practical way to provide all of the power of a command line in a GUI. And intuition is very subjective. Intuitive to me is when I think "there must be some way to do X" and sure enough there's a command I can run in terminal or a file I can edit to do it.
I think I agree with your reasons for doing it that and I wasn't really trying to criticize your game in particular.

I was trying to make a more general statement about the types of problems that we seem to find ourselves solving over and over again and the fact that that occurs as such a typical case rather than replacing those structures.

I don't know how to make solving structural problems into a game.

I guess I did want to be a little critical though just to insert the comment that it's also important to make sure we teach kids that representation matters and that system design structure should not be taken for granted.

That would solve only a tiny part of the problem. The elephant is the monopoly on search. Ironically, most probably MS is beating them around this time with more powerful search tech and it will be time to anti-trust MS.

No. I'm just saying that it costs like $40-100k in practice to get a screened room into operation, not $10k, but that this is still a reasonable expense.

But you're too boiling over in vitriol to understand nuance. Somehow, in your mind, saying that you can't do it for $10k appears to be me defending Google.
If you are willing to build a whole lot of infrastructure for storage and accept the efficiency loss due to the conversion then you can probably get pretty close to 100%.

A place where everyone must agree on everything is bound to fail. It has never worked in the history of humanity (which may be an exaggeration and I would be curious to learn about a case that did)

The EU is a construction that in average is expected to be profitable to everyone. If you have someone who can veto this just because they can it will not move forward. I am actually surprised that Brexit did not end with side agreements between UK and individual EU countries as it is usually the case.
It is an honest and unfiltered take.

My theory is that honest takes should be written on first take without revisions and without edits. The moment I massage a statement to be more coherent I am compromising on my honesty.
Average, overall, and other measures are unimportant when talking about electrical power. You need to look at worst case scenarios to understand how much capacity is actually required. So, over the course of a year, on what day did renewables supply the least amount? That would provide an initial indication, but would hardly suffice for long term planning.

For example, if utility A supplies only 20% of required power from renewable sources on a given day over the last year, you can really only say renewables can be expected to supply 20% on any given day. But you'd need to do modelling or track over a larger number of years to get to the (likely lower) actual number.
300?

You mean closer to 30,000 years right?

Humans have been shaping the world with fire for a long time.
One example off top of my head is trucking. The company can say no experience required but you have to pay for training and training materials. It works out that one employee can barely support oneself in such a business arrangement and one is beholden to the company and there can be financial penalties for quitting early. It got such a bad rap there was a Planet money podcast about it https://www.npr.org/2020/08/10/901110994/big-rigged

The technology has been replaced and energy generation on this planet has turned toward renewable energies.

Time to move on and care about the radioactive remains of this technology from the past.
It depends on the source of the data. For the regions with the pie charts, those are Independent System Operators (ISOs) or Regional Transmission Organizations (RTOs). They publish much more data and is more real time than the other regions, so we have different pages to display them.
That's about 1/18th of the 64 bit address space!
Few which come to my mind:

1. Analyzing X-ray scans and answering questions on that
2. App designs to code generation, unit test generation
3. Allowing customer support chatbots to interact with images, especially useful for return orders
Grindr's particular purpose is not my thing. However, I do use another app/site (fetlife) which very much is aligned with my particular interest. I'm so glad the owners of that platform are super ethical and genuine. You don't even have to pay for anything, except for viewing material from people you don't know. Everything about it conveys the message that they built it to support the community, not to get rich. I support them financially anyway. Because I want a platform with such values to stick around.

I recently was on another app that was being promoted locally ("fet") and that was just like grindr. Everything is blocked in the app, you have to pay for everything. Screw that. It feels like they take the community hostage. I'm so glad we have fetlife.
Yeah, I think some form of "use it or lose it" will be necessary. Either that or just making patents have to 'pay for themselves' via exponentially increasing cost (or some such) to maintain after the initial period of protection (which must be MUCH shorter). That has it's own problems and complications, of course.

I get the sense that many of these ideas of e.g. patents and copyright, etc. are based on good faith actors, while we're currently seeing extreme optimization towards 'just how close to the legal/illegal line can I get'.
Well, depends on how much money is "tons of money".
I would think that the idea here is that courts aren't currently intentionally giving out "and everyone remembers what they did forever" as part of most criminal sentences; that this type of indefinite scarlet lettering even after serving out a sentence was never an intent of criminal sentencing, but only became one as a byproduct of the judicial process due to court cases being public for auditability + the Internet durably remembering and indexing everything forever; and that if courts want to make an indefinite scarlet letter a part of (some) criminal sentences, then they should be doing so explicitly, as with "sex offender registries" and the like, so that that power can be applied only where democratically favored via legislation.

Sorry I don’t draw a distinction here. Clickbaiting is an advertising technique. This was advertising the author/affiliate. The main point isn’t wasn’t about the content (for me).

Agree I guess there is a borderline where the title is both compelling to click, but still informative of what the overall article is. That wasn’t the case here. NYT does this better, agree.
>Unless you have to write a database. But you don't.

The quote you quoted says you don't need to write a database, so if you want to agree, you also have to agree that Amazon and Google didn't need to write databases.

“So any story that says it’s good to be farming these livestock, it’s good to be eating these livestock, is a story which justifies among the most devastating processes on Earth,” he said. “It is climate science denial.”

Monbiot linked this denial to the interests of major corporations like McDonald’s, General Mills, JBS, and the Murdoch Network, who he says have “backed and weaponized” the idea that grazing cattle is environmentally beneficial. “The story is false,” he said. “When you make a grand claim such as this one, that livestock can mitigate climate change, either you produce the evidence for that claim or if you cannot produce the evidence you withdraw the claim. The evidence has not been produced, the claim does not stand.”
Have you ever looked at Non? It has a recording mode that is a lot like what you described if I understand you right. Development is kind of moribund but that can be an advantage in some ways.

Yes, pharma is empirical, not predictive. We are very far from understanding biology well enough to be predictive (except on TV).

Look are Loewe’s recent column in Science: Target-based drug programs seem like an obviously sensible approach but in practice have not been fruitful: https://www.science.org/content/blog-post/target-based-drug-...

Biology is still art and luck.

Note: I’m a former small molecule pharma developer myself.
There's the story of David Cassidy. He got cast in the Partridge Family (the rock band family) largely because of his looks and his mother (Shirley Jones). His voice was set to be dubbed for the songs, but it turned out he had a golden throat. (The rest of the cast, besides Jones, could neither play nor sing.)

The producers hired top shelf songwriters to write the songs, and several hit albums were produced. (It really is good music, despite being bubblegum.)

Cassidy, however, decided that he had songwriting talent and chafed. He eventually left the show, and with the megabucks he earned on the show, produced albums. They're terrible.

The same thing happened to the Monkees.
The share holders of the Federal Reserve are ALL private "regional" banks, then the profit of the Federal Reserve is shared with its shareholders. The two largest shareholders (owners) of the Federal Reserve, together with over 50% ownership is Citi and Chase. So Citi and Chase own the federal reserve.
Neat. I'll give it a look.

I'm not being contrarian for the sake of it, but the book you posted is exactly what I'm talking about when I say that there aren't very many good books on HTML. Just scanning it I'm finding errors (technical, spelling, and grammar) and they didn't even attempt to format the code samples: https://imgur.com/a/pLnbxt0

Look at the TOC. I wouldn't call this an especially focused book. It's a hodgepodge of front-end dev topics.

HTML is a tricky topic and it's not addressed well in any recent book I've seen. Watch Kevin Powell's video from yesterday: "Turns out I know less about HTML than I thought! " https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPWlakxKRm8 — and I guarantee that Kevin knows more than most.

How are you finding the additional titles? The search on the link you posted earlier isn't surfacing anything recent or relevant when I search "HTML".

Here, instead of search results, do you have an example of a good, recent, HTML book that you've found useful?
"Resources spent on scamming them instead" would be something like locking the customer out of doing their own firmware updates or refusing to publish documentation or source code in their possession for out-of-support products because it enables planned obsolescence. But regulations prohibiting such practices wouldn't see many objections from open source developers because they would be trivially satisfied by publishing the source code under widely used existing licenses.

Whereas providing you with every ability to do something yourself, or to pay any third party to do it for you, is not a scam just because they're not offering to do it for you without pay.
As long as your music is "in the box", yes. If you're a classical oud player, not so much.

That's true, however a lot of spot usage ends up being heavily diversified across instance types in order to avoid momentary supply issues and optimize cost.

Across different families, CPU performance can vary by a decent amount.

Not really. It works in some cases but globally you have laws that are not applied in countries because it is how it works.

I am not an economist and would love to see hard numbers about how the EU in its current constitution is better than having the core members alone.

I am in France and see that we are a net payer which does not make me happy. Not because we pay, but rather because how countries that receive this money use it.
Yeah, I really want to read this guy’s stuff because he’s definitely knowledgeable on the topic and I also work on high performance distributed computing.

Have you paid any attention to drone usage in Ukraine?

Pretty crazy
Not wrong.

Some renewables are consistent particularly geothermal, hydro, and biomass

Geothermal is not available everywhere with current tech

Hydro ditto, (must have mountains) it is hugely destructive, and is intermittent on an actual scale (dry years)

Biomass is expensive and hungry for land.

So it is not simple.

It is doable, and essential if we are to continue lifestyles anything vaguely like what we have, but it requires careful planning and cooperation

The current "Big Capital" model is not well suited. More local, small scale, and distributed generation and storage are where we need to head, IMO

"One of the largest government shutdowns in history". What's wrong with the Americans? Why isn't that "oh god no, we're shutting down government yet again let's FIX THIS"?
Ironically, still very far from Brazil's 84%. Meanwhile the UE thinks it can lecture South America countries about how to preserve nature.
I don’t think that’s a good idea; it would hurt investment in promising startups. Today, “company failed, but produced valuable IP” is a fallback outcome for investors.

Declaring that the IP of failed companies (and individuals who hope to but never bring a product to market) is public domain just makes the problem worse. Is a patent valid if I sell one single product? If that one sale comes after an infringing product? Years after?

Patents are a mess and need reform, but IMO we are better served by reform that emphasizes truly novel inventions and not small improvements / variations that are essentially obvious.
What is "harm"? Please provide a clear definition that can be universally applied to everyone everywhere.
That came later, when Soviet mathematicians envisioned that the computers could provide a solution to the fundamental calculation problems of socialism. Soviets had very strong mathematicians, and they knew that planning as envisioned by the socialist ideology is impossible using manual calculations, however they thought algorithmic planning could provide a huge edge there. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OGAS - this was a Soviet Internet plus AI optimizer plus data lake plus everything else. It fizzled out, though, for a couple of reasons - first, it was not clear that it can actually do any of it, and second, The Party kinda felt uneasy with algorithms controlling everything - if the General Secretary says one thing, and the computer says another - who's in charge here?! And once you allow The Party to mess with it, it loses the whole point - it's garbage in, garbage out.
Ask HN: What non-text text do you use GPT-4 to generate
I've started using ChatGPT to modify charts I've created using Mermaid. It can even create decent charts without back-and-forth if you give it an example of code for a chart similar to the one you want, and then a block of text with the new requirements.

I wonder what similar use-cases I'm missing? Is anyone here using ChatGPT to create sheet music, SVG drawings or or other things that are described with text but, in the end, don't look like text?

The funny thing is, we know the outcome of your line of thinking. Eventually it becomes normalized and part of every contract. That's why we had to stamp out non-competes because otherwise companies would gladly collude to make it so there is no choice.
May not be a popular opinion but I wasn't much impressed by the speech capabilities. It is equivalent to having a ASR + LLM + TTS pipeline or am I missing something?
And the entire idea of species is kind of fraught because once we were all microorganisms?

No. Invasive species are relatively new to the land, they disturbe the existing equilibrium often without any natural predators to hunt them and they wreak havoc.

Like wild boars in USA. Like rabbits in Australia. Like humans on earth.

Barren islands evolved for tens of millions of years in isolation were all over the world until humans built ships.
it is very strange. i think the truth is that most people are just there for the money. they chose a college major not because they found it interesting, but because they were told that it pays a lot. i was born in 1996 and have been working as a software engineer for a little over 4 years. i got a degree in CompSci because i was always interested in it (first programming experience in 6th grade, before then i was familiarizing myself with other things i could do with the computer, like record and edit audio/video, make frame-by-frame animations).
i find the history very interesting and almost vital to actually understanding some things. i have a colleague in his 60s who likes to ramble on and on about history of computers and programming and the like, and i am grateful for it.
This feels like playing an RTS where you get a glimpse of what the tech tree of the future looks like, and then start to imagine what supporting such technology would actually mean. Unless we get some major advancements in energy production, this seems like it will just one day be a module you attach to your Dyson Sphere to turn it into a portable space ship :)

Until then, I'm excited to see where light takes us (as an ISP Fiber technician I love light lol)
Yes, that definitely could happen. The question is if I have the right to personally control what random people see if they look up public information about me.

I'm not particularly comfortable with the obvious extensions of this. What if I'm a local businessperson doing unpopular things? What if I'm running for office? Where does it start and stop?

Whatever happened to at-will employment? That can't be only valid when they want to fire/lay-off.
Again, pedantry: Amazon and Google aren't people; they aren't reading advice on the Internet. So the "you" in this statement will never apply to them. It only applies to individuals reading the statement. And, indeed, "you" do not need to write a database. Some company might very well need to write a database; and therefore coerce one or more of its employees into writing a database. But, like the statement says, the employees should resist. Very likely the company is wrong about needing to write a database, and resistance will help it discover that.

However, every once in a while, even after everyone resists for months/years, it will turn out that the company really does need to write a database, and so — still mostly against their will — the individuals employed there will set out to write a database. (And once they've "written a database", and it turned out to actually be the best course of action for the company, then the advice no longer applies — because they're no longer considering "writing a database" at that point, but rather maintaining an existing database, that they happened to be the creators of.)

> And learning would seem to be covered by the "want to" or "should"
