> Personally, I never use public usb ports because I think it is more likely that some jerk has wired up the port to 120V.

I don't, because while that's unlikely, what is almost certain is that the port only does charging at the lowest default voltage/amperage, which for at least 5 years now is not enough to charge a smartphone on standby.
The Russian search engine pops up in the comments whenever Google search quality is discussed here. I am sure this is non-organic astroturfing.
It’s wishful thinking to hope that they can’t mine that. If you connect to a Google server, they’re analyzing your activity. Not running their JavaScript disrupts ads but they still get information about what type of videos you like, when and where you watch them, and what kind of devices you use.
Last few times I went for a teeth cleaning, I was told about how "tarter" (the supposed "bad stuff") develops mostly around where the saliva glands excrete into the mouth.

I added this to how I was able to have a full hole in my tooth fill back (when poor and in college) in by just keeping it clean, not eating junk food, and swishing spit in my mouth around that tooth religiously for a long time.

Dentist later said, "nope, didn't happen, teeth don't work that way"
I think its the unknown. Are big corporations with lots of WFH employees successful in the long term? The reality is no one really knows so its a risk. Maybe it'll turn out fine, maybe it'll increase productivity, maybe the company will slowly die as the culture crumbles. There is a lot of arguments going on but realistically no one has ever tried it.

The mix isn’t particularly confusing, but I find this kind of socratic dialogue quite annoying in general. It just adds cognitive overhead, because besides the author’s train of ideas I now also have to deal with the presentation as different characters and their way of commenting and interjecting and asking questions, all of which are immaterial to the actual ideas and arguments. In the present case, it also makes an already lengthy discussion even more laborious.

Isn't the inline chat feature the same as Ctrl+I (https://code.visualstudio.com/assets/updates/1_79/copilot-ed...) in GitHub Copilot? I find it really useful, although the main page of GitHub Copilot does not appear to mention this feature.

Sewage is easy. Just go in the middle of nowhere, dig a hole and off you go. Heck in an emergency any place on the ground will do. Where do you think animals in the wild shit?

Correct. The second most important choice is to look around for families achieving good outcomes and try to emulate them.
Can anyone brief me on the current situation and prospects of OpenStreetMap?

For instance, the other day I was looking for a functionality to upload photos (with their coordinates from EXIF) from various places, but it was impossible. In general, contributing to the project seemed all too complicated for others than diehard devotees.

I think freebsd has some level of Wayland support. But yeah, I suspect that's at best a significant increase in patches needed for openbsd.

I agree! I’ve often told my friends that the somewhat ‘boring’ nature of HackerNews is a feature, not a bug.
I meant the sentence I quoted, or the part

> [...] especially on Wikipedia. Of course, transformer models have the same issues

I agree that one should be critical of all sources, including Wikipedia. I don't agree that GPT is an information source comparable to Wikipedia or scientific studies. Both can be wrong, biased or incorrect though.

In other words, I would never consider the usage of any LLM worth to cross-check information found elsewhere, as opposed to e.g. Wikipedia.

Which does not mean that I consider the info compiled on Wikipedia always as trsutworthy. Then again, I wouldn't use an LLM to cross-check Wikipedia.

They're not equals.

Sorry if I misunderstood anything in your comment.

There's some association between grinding and sleep apnea, so keep an eye out for it. I ground my teeth for years before apnea, and now that I use a CPAP I notice I grind less.

Not because of furry though.
So why do you still use their service if you don’t like them so much? Whether or not you approve of the rules someone sets for use of their private property doesn’t affect their legal rights, so it seems you shouldn’t be helping them.

> LLM is the index of the entire internet

It is certainly not an index of the entire internet. Web scraping is a tool to make LLMs "smarter" and better at speaking, but they are not a web archive, not even a reasonably lossy one.

Honestly they are a poor substitute for Google, even when augmented with a vectorDB or (hypothetically) some kind of confidence metric, when the information is not immediately verifiable.
Will it last though. How soon until LLMs get gamed as well - probably directly, e.g. looking for a product that can do X, SEOs battle it out to make sure a specific product gets suggested by the LLM.

There are many problems with LLMs as knowledge engines,

- as mentioned they can be gamed just like Google

- they hallucinate, adding another possible source of errors to the results

- they kill off the websites they scrap training data from making it unsustainable long term

I found the same thing, taking K2 (the Carlson labs MK-4 version) with some D3 drops helped hugely.
It's a fair point, but what is the pitch meant to be now? "We're reskinned Chrome"? If I wanted reskinned Chrome I'd use Brave. Which in fact I do want and do use.

Firefox isn't owed a market. Google have proved themselves, so far, to be better stewards of the world's browser engine than the people at Mozilla. It might have a new era in the sun one day, but right now there really isn't much of a niche for Firefox. And the fact that Chrome overran Firefox does sit with the Mozilla, whatever the argument is about competitive practices. Chrome was (likely: still is) just technically better.

To be fair I don't really have any real problems with my teeth apart from having had an overeager/greedy childhood dentist who put in a ton of fillings, making for a lifetime of occasionally having to redo one and needing 2 crowns.

I switched to Apagard about 8 months ago. My hygienist seemed happy about it. I like the fact that it's not overwhelmingly minty like most American toothpastes and doesn't foam up too much. I think if I manage to avoid needing new fillings or a redo for 6-7 years (about the frequency at which I need one) I would consider it a good switch.

I would include the debasement of one's moral soul for social-climbing purposes in the set of aforementioned sacrifices. :)

In any case, I did mention the dangers of overconsumption. There is something in between that and subsistence that is a net-positive for society (in this epoch, at least).

> If the purpose of the Mozilla organisation was to fund Firefox into the future then they have catastrophically failed at their job. If their purpose was to spread the money they had around to a bunch of people as quickly as possible before it runs out, whilst putting on a good face, then they've succeeded 100%

The mission statement of the Mozilla Foundation is not about Firefox:

I think you’re talking about browser bookmarks.

I recorded the screen while the Arc was sending data. It ended up with 707 MB of uploads. https://youtu.be/m_Y7wuB5xk0

I'm confused that are they allowed to upload this huge amount of data without asking permission from the user?
This is going to sound overly simplistic, but maybe don't scan "new", then? Just look at the front page, where the stuff that interests people has bubbled up. And if nothing there interests you, maybe your interests have simply diverged from what the rest of HN finds interesting. There is nothing wrong with that from either side.

Ironically, the title of the article is literal clickbait. The first four paragraphs (out of 21) of the article are related to the title. The majority of the article (11 paragraphs) are dedicated to AI safety.

I avoid companies like Google as much as possible, but is it really their fault that so many people fall for clickbait? If that's what a majority of people click on, shouldn't users share the blame?
Tabs are not files. If you need to save things, use bookmarks. If you don’t, don’t keep clutter around. Do you still keep all the files in the download folder since 2013?
That's excessive scope creep. Adding site-specific workarounds for some sites feels uncomfortable. Who decides what websites get "fixed", and how? That's a great bit to move to addons. Maybe recommend them more visibly instead.

Also, remember how Mozilla is funded.

It depends on your site. If you are an ecommerce site that only ships to the US, issuing a challenge to people coming from Nigeria isn't out of line they are seeing lots of attacks from similar locations. Probably isn't a good thing for a local Nigerian news site though.

One thing is to migrate existing files and integrate it with your application, but you can also use Cloudflare interface to upload large files, e.g. vidoes, and avoid costly egress fees or having to pay more wherever you host your application. The steps are:

- click on the R2 link in the Cloudflare dashboard and add a bucket

- upload files to be shared (max 300MB)

- click the settings tab and add custom domain that you want files shared from

And if those don't exist, you can at least see a lot of bad examples and what not to do. I didn't have role models or examples of functional families to look up to. Lots of trial and error with the major guiding posts being "don't do what they did / don't be like them."

OSM's database doesn't store photos so you might have looked for a functionality which never existed. What was your usecase? There's https://kartaview.org/ , https://mapilio.com/ and https://www.mapillary.com/ (the latter acquired by Facebook) who collect geo-referenced photos.
Maybe this is just my ignorance, but I honestly don’t care how they get these speeds to me. If I’m actually getting 2Gbps symmetrical, I don’t care if it’s because they installed a hamster wheel outside my house and that little guy is losing his mind making it happen.

> He's not, it's the magical thinking "pulling yourself by your own bootstraps" when reality is that my kid is going to have a better outcome than the average Latino immigrant because both of his parents is college level educated, speak multiple languages and live in a well off zipcode, even though both me and his mother were poor back in Brazil.

If you compare two kids whose parents are at the 25th percentile economically, one whose parents are native born Americans and the other whose parents are Guatemalan, the Guatemalan kid is actually going do better as a grown up. And a Chinese kid will do better than both of them.
Those are extra instructions that only apply to Bluetooth devices. You still have to enable AssistiveTouch in general for any pointing device (wired or wireless).
>and a much bigger chunk was killed with it.

To say nothing of the opportunity costs. They killed a lot of what was, but they’ve also prevented so much of the promise of the internet from coming to fruition. Lost time, lost talent and lives, and a gaping hole in society where a more productive internet might have been. Somehow we let them.
And enterprise sales teams use it a ton as well.

“Nokia used an active-objects based version of C++ which used little memory and could get good performance out of the tiny ARM chips of the day but was very hard to program for.”

I don’t think C++ was the problem there. The tooling was terrible, documentation even worse. It didn’t feel like they actually wanted developers.
> a recipe doesn't have to invoke itself to be a recursive recipe

Er, no. That IS exactly what recursion means. It doesn't have to be infinite - there can be a halt condition - but if something doesn't call itself, it is not recursive.

These are not recursive recipes at all; they're just nested.
Breakelse seems completely nihilistic to me. Here's an example:

if (1 == 1) {
if (random_global == 4) {
breakelse
}
}
else {
...
}

I can imagine cases where inside of an if-block you want to jump into the other block, but those are cases where you need to restructure your control flow and state so that your conditionals are coherent. Providing breakelse as a trapdoor to escape is semantically catastrophic to the concept of if/else. You can never again scan for if conditionals and rule them out; you always have to understand the entire block (and probably as a result the state of the entire program) before you can rule it out.

---

Overall though, I think these are issues of semantics rather than issues of syntax. It's kind of an ongoing concern to figure out how to use railway oriented programming in an imperative language. You have two problems. First, you have to pick a side of the semipredicate problem:

- do you add complexity to your backend to do tuple returns that are mostly fast, knowing that people will largely use them after they're not fast (i.e. too large to fit in a register)

- do you just use -1/NULL and learn to love the semantic graveyard you now live in

- do you use output parameters and make your language look 50 years old

- do you add complex syntax sugar to make tuple returns act like output parameters

Second, you either have to settle on an existing subset of goto, figure out a new subset of goto, or... not be imperative. Existing subsets include "if", "match"/"switch", and exceptions. Non-imperative solutions include do-notation, "everything is an expression", or callbacks. These aren't completely orthogonal; for example Python will do what you want with the new walrus operator:

def op(val):
if callable(val): # Sticking with the somewhat odd example here
return 'first'
if val == 'first':
return False
if val == 'second':
return 'third'

if (var := op) and (var2 := op(var)) and (var3 := op(var2)):
print(var, var2, var3)
else:
print('something failed, but what?')

The problem though, as you can see at the end, is it's not super clear where in your pipeline things exploded. You can of course imagine solutions to this, but (as always) we're verging towards full monads.

---

To my mind, I think you probably can't do better than the Result pattern in Rust (as long as you're willing to have a parameterizable type system). The "?" operator lets you cram everything on a single line, but even without it (I don't really like "?" as an operator) your "error handling" generally avoids the pyramid of doom. Go is similar; though people hate the "if val, err" pattern it's essentially the same; they're just objecting to syntax or pining for exceptions to bail them out of error handling at all.

There is something very ergonomically satisfying about getting something and testing it in a single conditional. Once you get used to it it's hard to give it up. But I don't really think it's a good pattern for larger state handling or error handling. Other languages split the difference with if-let or match (or both), which feels a little more "right tool for the job" to me.
You are right. But the pendulum swings back.
Especially for failure (as opposed to just optionality), I think that exceptions are the right approach, because in general you want to transport data and type about the failure. That doesn’t imply the traditional try-catch-finally syntax — I think we can find better syntax for typical cases — but having a distinction between a normal return (type) and abnormal returns (return types). This is like a special kind of sum type where one of the options is specially distinguished.
> This is just stupid, lazy engineering.

The problem that i see is that this " stupid, lazy engineering" occurs very often at Cisco.

Well no, cred stuffing often results in termination or suspension of service by the merchant accounts used by the victim. This denies them the ability to sell thier goods and services - generally this denies end users the ability to ise the victim's service just as effectively as a volumetric attack.

Further, cred stuffing is often automated by a botnet.

The two things are distinct, but have similar means and end results - they aren't completely different.
I've found a few articles and some discussion about this on social media from 2021, but not much since then.
