For me Flexbox Froggy finally helped flexbox concepts “click” in my brain. And by that time I had been using CSS for 15 years.

Amazing educational tool.
One more I'd throw on the list is a growing trend in our field of shipping buggy products with the expectation we'll fix them later via updates. It's a terrible drug the internet enabled.

The ironic thing is personally I only upgrade my phone every 5+ years and would be totally happy with longer development cycles.
I also worked on a production auto complete feature for a web app a bit ago and I couldn't agree more with the quality sentiment. One or two characters is almost never enough to give a meaningful result. Using history or similar user search is much more effective than trying to guess what someone meant by "th".

If more stems (I learned a new word!) are made available then I can make cleaner sounds. Very cool stuff!

I'll tell you what Azure does better - way better - than the other big 2 American vendors: they make it vastly easier for the people who pay the bills to understand what's going on (without having to spend 10 years as a Devops engineer first).

Not anymore for a while, unless application developer has been very careful in using DB features.
Also, there are things like how indexing differs in two.
If ORMs have been used, without a good DBA being available... there are many landmines on the migration path.

No, it's not a great insight - unless you have not studied physics before.

It's the standard context for thermodynamics (macro) and statistical mechanics (micro) explanations. Sometimes called coarse-graining and fine-graining.

For dark matter there are 3 potential levels:

- micro would be be new dark subatomic particles (WIMPs), or sterile right-handed neutrinos in the Standard Model (see Turok);

- meso is macroscopic clumps of those particles (dark stars) /OR/ no micro, but dark conventional matter objects, like naked black holes, neutron stars or brown dwarves (MACHOs), or perhaps just lots of dust;

- macro would be the truly cosmological state of the whole universe (a stat mech theory over the micro/meso). Think dark matter fluids, and phase changes to dark superfluids, that might have MONDian effects on gravity at the galactic level - and beyond!
I used ChatGPT yesterday for code for the first time.

I gave it a nontrivial task I couldn’t google a solution for, and wasn’t sure it was even possible:

Given a python object, give me a list of functions that received this object as an argument. I cannot modify the existing code, only how the object is structured.

It gave me a few ideas that didn’t quite work (e.g modifying the functions or wrapping them in decorators, looking at the current stack trace to find such functions) and after some back and forth it came up with hijacking the python tracer to achieve this. And it actually worked.

The crazy thing is that I don’t believe it encountered anything like this in its training set, it was able to put pieces together which is near human level. When asked, it easily explained the shortcomings of this solution (e.g interfering with the debugger).
You do realise that there are two architecture xtensa & RISC v. RISC v isn't as power efficient.

The xtensa super low power mode can deep sleep, wake on timer or external interrupt, and (based on duty cycle) probably run for year or more on a 9v battery.

Micropython is similar in performance to Arduino on esp32. Poor Async, around 10x slower than rust and much harder to do Async, etc. Possibly better for beginners, but even that won't be true in another year thanks to projects like embassy-rs

Rust and C have similar compiled performance. The difference is rust Dev on esp32 is easier to target with other architectures, also rust will probably be a bit easier to detect & debug any crashes during design making it a lower cost to develop than C equivalent (because C is more permissive, it's easier to make accident mistakes)

It's just temperature, density, and confinement time. For each fuel, there's a minimum threshold temperature and a minimum triple product of those three parameters to get net power. The triple product is lower for D-D than it is for D-He3.

For breeding tritium, everybody's focused on just getting net power right now but several companies are planning liquid breeding blankets. For CFS it's a molten FLiBe salt, a couple others are using molten lead-lithium. Either way, you run coolant pipes through it, and the new tritium will bubble out the top. Honestly it doesn't sound all that hard.
Nothing hypothetical about it, it's fairly common for even big news publishers like CNN to put out a headline that is so misleading that it's effectively a lie, and then either never follow up with a correction if the story turns out to be false or put out a much less publicized and still misleading "correction" such that the correction is buried in a few lines in the middle somewhere.

If big publishers are doing this often on well known topics, it stands to reason that the much larger number of little publishers are also doing it with at least similar frequency for less well known topics.
>Rather it's a question of trying to right a historic wrong

But blocking the TMT won't do anything to further that goal, as it has nothing to do with it.

> But the history of American colonization is much too recent to ignore

> The colonizers had previously forced her brother to sign a constitution that stripped most native Hawaiians of the right to vote in their own country, and grant the vote to non-native, non-subjects with sufficient wealth and/or land holdings. That constitution is frequently called the Bayonet Constitution because of the circumstances surrounding Kalākaua signing it.

I'm familiar with the Baynoet Constitution but I take issue with the blanket use of the term "colonizer". As far as I've seen, it's been used by the sovereignty movement and their (largely) progressive supporters to mean anyone at the time (and even today) that lived/s in Hawaii and is not Native Hawaiian. Many of those that were involved in the overthrow were subjects of the Kingdom. They and their families, not to mentions all the non-Hawaiian plantation workers - came there legally and were even encouraged. The sovereignty movement would have you believe that the story of Hawaii is exactly like the story of mainland tribes, but it's just not true. There was no colonization in the way that it happened on the mainland and the use of the Marines in overthrowing the Queen was illegitimate, even per the US government. A lot of the issues with Hawaii and Native Hawaiians can be traced back to the Kingdom times (but not all).

In any case, this is the major problem. People are trying to litigate past political issues by involving the TMT, a scientific project that has nothing at all to do with it, on a mountain that also had nothing to do with it and never really belonged to the public until after the monarchy.
According to Tim Harford's book "Adapt" it's wrong to expect a company like shell to be good at renewables. Shell are good at handling liquid fuels and negotiating with governments. These are not useful skills for photovoltaics.
I’ve spent a good deal of time looking at code with other people, and one of the things I have seen first hand is how blind we are for a species with front facing eyeballs.

I spent a good chunk of my childhood doing word searches and “find seven differences” puzzles. And a good chunk of college playing text based games with a friend who would run around so fast that the screen was a blur. Somehow he could still read it, and I eventually learned to barely keep up with him. I use that skill today every time I’m tailing logs.

He wasn’t “unusual”. I was unusual, he was a genuine freak of nature. Almost nobody spots bugs as fast as I do, and getting them so see a line I’ve described verbally is a chore (line numbers are always on when I pair now) and I am far from infallible.

So when people tell me we are going to have non technical people look at a picture and determine what’s wrong with it, or two pictures and tell me the difference, well I am extremely skeptical. Every time graphical programming comes up, I assert that visual diff tools are the main thing blocking them from being feasible, and that assertion is generally well received.

Today there are a couple companies who might eventually get there, but they are focused on browser testing. I think that means commodification will have to happen first, as there’s not much money in dev tools.
If this is the most embarrassing document as part of this case then I don’t think anything is happening to Google.
And do the "myriad tools" to combat disinformation stack up in this brave new era of LLMs dedicated to firehosing that disinformation far faster than you can combat it? Are you willing to put your reputation on the line to "steelman" your conviction? Do you get this worked up about simple link rot?

I was not expecting panpsychism to pop up on HN. Years ago I explored the topic out of curiosity; at first it seems pretty absurd, but you can find some interesting discussions and insights about it. At the very least, it can encourage you to think differently about consciousness, and perhaps even question some of your own assumptions about consciousness.
The nice thing with science is that if you cherry-pick your scientists, you will always find some who "prove you right" ;)

You're asking about undercollatorized loans on chain? It's not a solved problem but there's progress. See this survey of approaches of loans on chain. [1]

Last year for the ETHOnline hackathon, I made an app that allows anyone to request a loan in any erc20 token with (optional) collateral in any set of erc20s. In addition, the borrower identity is used to increase confidence: a linked Lens profile and/or verified passport using Coinpassport. The principal is then crowdfunded. [2]

While making this, I learned that Aave was originally called ETHLend and followed a similar model of requesting individual loans but this approach makes it difficult to attract liquidity so when they developed over-collateralized pools, the protocol became much more popular.

It's going to take better identity tools than we currently have. Of course, undercollatorized lending is the basis of traditional banking so replicating it on chain is a massive win for the ecosystem.

There's a few projects working on credit scores on chain: Sprectral [3] and Cred protocol. See this article about using Cred protocol [4]

> it seems inevitable to conclude that learning systems ... generally experience consciousness.

I don't think so. There's no reason to assume a nematode or an LLM is conscious. The latter doesn't even have anything to be conscious of.

Ages ago, Minksy has half-jokingly said that consciousness is probably a feedback loop. It makes sense, but it does require the learning system to be able to observe itself in sufficient detail and have sufficient power to model that observation.

The remark about the null hypothesis doesn't make sense. It's a bad practice from NHST (the very model that led to the reproducibility crisis), and is generally assumed to be the hypothesis to test against. It's not the hypothesis we know to be true. And experience informs us that consciousness is not universal, so it's not our best hypothesis about life or matter.
> You're putting your entire company at major risk.

We use AWS but, the same argument applies here. It's far, far, far more likely that the developer who implemented the solution leaves than AWS or MS pull the rug from under us.

Given the choice between setting up an ad-hoc solution with one developer, or using an existing managed offering, putting all your eggs in an employee when they have an average tenure of 2 years is _way_ more risky.
So? What’s your point? That it can’t be used for anything else because some people, including you, already knew about it, hence it can’t be applied in novel ways?

Btw, no one said it was a novel insight

I can't speak for the whole platform but when we were having problems with S3 uploads, I evaluated both GCP and Azure. Both were better and Azure seemed best possibly because they didn't have different tiered services (only the good one). We ended up going with GCP at the time because of specifics of resumable uploads IIRC.

You don't need a full concert hall to test 911, the simplest LTE test equipment can be just couple sandwiches big. They're also not expensive at Google scale. It does concern me that there were anecdotal posts that read to me like that, developing firmwares and not blatantly violating basic assumptions and principles and core premises of Google MDM cannot occur simultaneously. If I somehow had to, I would bet that that to be on the path to the root cause. I mean, a lot of software jockeys have to be explained that IP address isn't assigned to a CPU socket.

If someone has the same name as someone who committed an offence that's a problem right?

This permanent memory doesn't extend to yourself only, it covers OTHER PEOPLE who have the same name as you. You are with them, for better or worse.

I could see it being necessary for some people to have to literally change their name just so they wouldn't be the same search result as the other person.
Autism spectrum disorder isn’t a disease like COVID with a known cause. There are likely many things that lead to symptoms consistent with ASD. According to the link the mold infection has biomarkers, and presumably it’s possible that some people who have this infection and ASD can be treated for the infection and might see improvement. However I don’t think the article implies in any way that ASD is caused by mold infections, just that some with ASD AND the mold infection might be treated for ASD when the mold infection is treated.

What I find interesting if other cases are found is the incredible influence our intestines have on our personality and mental processes.

This has the feel of Michelson's assertion in the 1890s that all the principles had been discovered. LLMs and AGI seem poised to give us a huge and expanding space in which to discover how consciousness works, and predeclaring that nothing will be found seems like a voluntary mistake.
I don't buy it. LLMs cannot do anything reliably, no matter how constrained the domain. Their outputs are of acceptable quality when back to a person who will use their human brain to paper over the cracks. People can recognize when the output is garbage, figure out minor ambiguities, and subconsciously correct minor factual or logical errors. But I would never feed LLM results directly into another computer program This rules out most traditional NLP tasks.
One of the reasons I enjoy a Linux desktop is that the fixes for common issues aren't usually arcane - they are reasonably easy to understand and usually make sense. There is very little "Run the troubleshooter" type fixes that are more or less placebo.

It's a different type of primitive, which can be used safely or unsafely. For example if you're selling something on craigslist, then it's unsafe to accept any form of payment that can be reversed after the item leaves.
Implicit capture may capture more than you intended to. Explicit will cause the compiler to alert you to other names you might not have realized you included. It also makes it harder for people modifying your code to mess it up.

That said, I usually use implicit because if I'm writing a lambda it's in a highly local context where a) it's just a shortcut, b) I know exactly what I'm doing, and c) it's not really meant for usability.

If you want to make the intent really explicit and rigid, it might even be better to use a structured capturing type with an operator(): `MyCapture{.x = x, .y = y}()` or whatever.
I haven’t done much with Azure. Out of curiosity, do they offer any AWS API compatible service, in the same way that Backblaze B2 has an S3 compatible API?
I think they were trying to be generic over “flex-direction”, meaning that attributes like flex-align depends on the “direction” of the parent. It’s very rare that you change the direction and really benefit from that.

I don’t know if that’s the only reason, so I’m not gonna say it was a bad choice. But at least to me, I’m exactly like you in the sense that I can’t remember which one is which. I would have preferred either better naming that references the axis, or simply have the attributes be independent of the parent. Until then, I have to use a cheat sheet.
What is the benefit to running multiple Kubernetes nodes on one physical Proxmox machine?
I didn’t say it’s unique. I just said it is.

what is unique is combining it with metas scale and ubiquity in the space of social media. Especially in developing countries where they subverted net neutrality to become the de facto source of information.

Meta could incentivize other metrics like consumer mental health, accessibility or subject education as well. Those are harder to track, so I’m not saying it’s easy, but other companies have done it.

Meta just does not care or want to care. They’ve been told point blank for over a decade now that they need to do something and haven’t unless regulatory bodies start threatening them.

You are looking at it from operational point of view. As a developer I care about different things:
1.Ops side is someone else problem. AWS takes care of that, so it just works. Otherwise, ops take care of that, so I also don't care.
2. MySQL is absolutely horrible from developer point of view. It works for most basic cases, but it's so primitive that anything non-trivial breaks it. Significant portion of its documentation is dedicated to listing all possible ways things are broken and what you need to watch out for. Postgres just works. You can combine 2,3 or more features and it all just works as you expected.
3. Pg has way more features. You have tons of data types, index types and extensions that cover enormous amount of usecases. Whatever you want to do, Pg can do it. Maybe some specialized db would be better for full-text search or GIS or storing json, but Pg will get you far (or will just do great). MySQL is nowhere near this extensibility.
4. Maybe it's historical, but I've seem way more corrupted Mysql cases than Pg. It is rock-solid.
5. As a result of that, I see MySQL vanishing from people minds. More and more products work with Pg only (or Pg and SQLite).

> CockroachDB and TiDB are alternatives that are massively more approachable

Maybe. CockroachDB claims Pg compatibility (though docs say nothing about extensions). TiDB has some interesting features, but MySQL compatibility scares me [2]. Neither of them has level of support from cloud providers that Postgres has.
Grid can do 1D (horizontal or vertical) or 2D (horizontal and vertical simultaneously). Flexbox can just do 1D (horizontal or vertical).

I'm not an expert but I think there's a distinction between self awareness and consciousness.

To be an observer of your thoughts, feelings, and emotions is not a practice that's limited to DBT or psychology. It has roots in Eastern spiritual practices.
