Very little seems to cross their minds. This thread is full of some really "hot takes I've absolutely never heard before".

I'm disappointed as hell with the level of discourse on this site.
>This should be a blaring wake-up call

Apple "woke" up a long time ago.

And for the past 5-10 years virtue signalling from company had been off the chart.
This sounds just like the “use native not electron” arguments to me. Yes, native (human) is better but if the app wouldn’t exist at all without electron (ai), I’ll pick electron.

If Gutenberg gets human narrators for books then that’s great, for the rest using AI doesn’t seem like a bad idea.

Heck, there are 3 books in a series I love (Honor Harrington, first 2 and especially the last one in the Shadow of Saganami series) that have a different narrator from all the mainline series and they bad (I cannot stress enough how bad the narrator for book 4 in the spinoff is). I’d love nothing more than to train an AI on the other books and generate new narrations for those 3 books. Heck I’d pay Allison Johnson $100+ per book for her to re-narrate them if that was an option but I seriously doubt it is with copyright BS and trying to crowdfund something like that. So in the absence of getting what I’d like, and what I’d pay for, I’d gladly turn to “AI”.
Because much like the house in the casino, the capital class always wins.
That’s super helpful, thanks for explaining!
Likewise I think non-enforcement of drug laws tacitly permitting people to self-destruct in the streets is really cruel
I don't understand why this is a concern. In this scheme you swap out batteries instead of re-charging them; you don't own them, you're contracting with a service to provide them as needed. Theoretically, you could buy the car battery-less and be asked upon purchase which battery service you'd like to sign up with.

But batteries are heavy, so quite possible that a battery swap would end up taking as long as supercharger charge anyway.
While this would be nice, I don't think enough people working on these algorithms are trained to use formal theorem proving tools.

But humans can still do a lot of damage on our way out.

Countless details show a lack of polish, finish, or thoughtfulness. As an example the looped video, arguably the main feature, is clipped in portrait mode and is rendered (literally and figuratively) underwealming. It’s viewable in landscape.

Perhaps it’s just an intense focus on the end product instead of external marketing. I can’t help but wonder if there’s an eye for excellence in this org.

No question, humanoid robots are coming. If this startup can’t stand up a decent website after an Amazon investment and an Amazon PR push, did they rake the time to through safety concerns (local shut off, etc)?

> So slightly better than RC Bray?

Shots fired lol. I don’t think he is that bad, though he does narrate some absolutely trash books (looking at you Helldivers).

I greatly respect and appreciate a good narrator but I think I’m with you, I have some really bad examples of narrators for books I like that I’d gladly replace if given the option. Even better if I can train the AI on narrators I really like. Heck, I’d pay some kind of licensing fee to use their “voice likeness” if that was a thing.
It is not a lambda but a switch expression. The tricky bits here are separating a call and the returned expression with ;. The trailing comma is just sugar to allow for another case
Imagine if we'd invented CFCs but hadn't invented a way to monitor atmospheric O3 levels. We'd have burned the entire ozone layer away before we even realised that anything was wrong.
Or that the beloved frameworks they use in-house only work in .NET Framework, or even if ported to .NET Core they are still Windows only, because they are wrappers around COM.
Ok, and then you can do reports by that?
Yeah, since lead accumulates in the body, I can imagine that a lifetime of exposure from significant sources like water pipes and all the other ways Roman’s were using lead, will just slowly add up until it reaches these sorts of levels, one microgram at a time until you’ve got like two tenths of a kilo of lead in you and a few organs are starting to struggle.
I have automated that a long time ago with a more reliable/portable solution:

We have to add one more important characteristic to the problematic psychological properties of mass formation: radical intolerance of other opinions and a strong tendency toward authoritarianism. To the masses, dissident voices appear 1) antisocial and devoid of solidarity, because they refuse to participate in the solidarity that the mass formation creates; 2) completely unfounded, as critical arguments are not assigned any cognitive or emotional weight within the narrow circle of attention of the masses; 3) extremely aversive because they threaten to break the intoxication, and in this way confront the masses again with the negative situation they preceded the mass formation (lack of social bond and meaning, indefinable fear and unease); 4) extremely frustrating because they threaten to remove the venting of latent aggression.

This radical intolerance ensures that the masses are convinced of their superior ethical and moral intentions and of the reprehensibility of everything and everyone who resists them: whoever does not participate is a traitor of the collective.

Reminds me of the excel-bungling during the covid pandemic.

>A million-row limit on Microsoft’s Excel spreadsheet software may have led to Public Health England misplacing nearly 16,000 Covid test results, it is understood. The data error, which led to 15,841 positive tests being left off the official daily figures, means than 50,000 potentially infectious people may have been missed by contact tracers and not told to self-isolate.

The NK workers tend to be locked up in dorms in different countries. They can't go to drug tests because their handlers won't let them. Likewise, they're not actually in the country they say they are in.

Additionally, drug testing locations examine government IDs all the time, so the NK workers are not likely to actually have one that matches the name they are working under. Otherwise, people who use illegal drugs could hire "clean" family or friends to give the hair/urine/blood required for the tests.

People who have escaped from Scientology report being treated similarly - guarded at all times when they leave their compounds, ID documents seized.
From a pretty good essay written by someone who lived through the original "psychedelics will expand your mind" era of the 60s and 70s:

"“Enlightenment in a pill,” many have pointed out, is a quintessentially American concept. Who’s got time for all that prayer and study and meditation and practice when there’s an easier, faster way?

But there isn’t. Therein lies the great danger of LSD and its dopey cousin, marijuana. By offering a simulacrum of spiritual and intellectual growth – a very convincing simulacrum at times – it takes you everywhere except where you need to be, which is doing the long, hard work of learning to live."

I resonate with what he says because, like the author mentions later on, I also have many friends who went deep into the psychedelics journey while claiming it was 'freeing their minds', 'enlightening' them, or whatever other concept they liked to use, only to end up, a decade or two later, in either a regular struggling life like so many others, or a downright bad place. I'm probably wrong to generalize, as I'm sure it can help many, but the drugs still can't substitute the individual's effort and struggle to grow, and overcome, and the learning of how to live a meaningful life.

Show HN: Book Launch] a Developer's Guide to .NET in Azure
Hey, fellow hackers!

Today marks the launch of my book, and I couldn't be more thrilled to share it with this amazing community!

This book isn't just another read; it's a whopping 504 pages of pure knowledge, neatly packed into nearly 1 kilogram of insights and expertise! I'm genuinely grateful for all the support and inspiration from the Hacker News community along this journey. I've had the privilege of speaking with many authors who've posted in this community. I'm incredibly thankful for all their valuable insights and encouragement before I started writing.

Dive into the world of creating serverless apps and services.
Design microservices with Azure Kubernetes service.
Get acquainted with various Azure databases and storage services.
Unlock the secrets of efficient secret and configuration management.
Explore the power of leveraging event-driven architecture.
Discover how to safeguard your APIs and apps using Azure B2C.
Get hands-on with tutorials to harness Azure services like a true pro.

But here's the secret sauce: while this book is tailored to .NET developers, it's packed with theory beyond the code. You can use it to deeply understand Azure's resources, principles, and best practices. Plus, even if you work with different programming languages, you can translate the knowledge and concepts into your preferred tech stack.

Our book distinguishes itself through its structured approach, depth of coverage, and ability to cater specifically to .NET developers seeking to master Azure. It offers a comprehensive, step-by-step learning experience unparalleled in the market, making it the go-to resource for those looking to excel in Azure within the .NET ecosystem.

I look forward to hearing any feedback and thoughts from you all!

Cheers,

Tamir
Ask HN: Where does the phrase "Fast" originate from?
I've been hearing this term A LOT in companies' marketing, in various YouTube videos, and sometimes used in memes. Where is it actually from? Search engines, Bing, nor ChatGPT don't give a proper answer.

> Working code can hold unknown bugs

Working code has also squashed a huge number of past bugs though.
If you want a decentralized web, a "Userweb" (maybe to parallel a bit Usenet), in my view you need a BitTorrent-like protocol.

You need efficient documents formats, which means formats that don't try to do everything, which means that you have to segregate different document types in different files - e.g. tables in some standard spreadsheet format - in contrast to HTML that tries to do tables, graphic (SVG), etc. on its own.

Separating each thing in their own file lets the user choose which programs they want to view/manipulate documents (rather that the one-size-fits-all browser), help with distribution across the network, and help with low storage/low bandwidth situations (or do more with the hardware we have right now).

So from my perspective, the answer is negative: there's nothing new to invent. Specialize and refine what was already invented.

It is not now, They have been doing this for close to a decade.
Great idea! I was thinking about something similar too. Having multiple browsers doesn't have to suck...and having to fiddle with galternatives or KDE systemsettings isn't ideal.

May I suggest you to add a small (and optional!) config file to automate your UI - like e.g.:

[Sources]
Telegram=chrome profile B
Discord=epiphany

[Destinations]
https://www.google.com=firefox profile A

If the config is there, you'd then only show the UI when neither sources nor destinations match (regexes). This would make it a must have tool IMHO :)

It also frees them to significantly modify the kernel or even replace it outright without breaking anybody, too.
Similar experience here. It triggered the thought in my mind of "this feeling exists". It's weird to explain. It's like MDMA created a reference in my mind and, instead of making me to fall into the process of "I need the drug to be happy", it made me to search for things in life that bring me that feeling of happiness and comfort I got as a reference from the experience. I remember vividly the walk to home after the party, with a beautiful girl holding my arm, the hot shower afterwards...it was the first time in my whole existence that I honestly thought "life is beautiful".

Actual title: "Scientist, after decades of study, concludes: We don't have free will".

But if he's right, then he didn't have the option to reach any other conclusion, completely independently of the evidence. So if he's right, then we can't trust his conclusion (nor any other conclusion, including any of our own). If he's right, this is the death of science and the death of reason.
You have no idea how much I wanted a third alternative instead of Google and Apple.

Excel is superb for automating/number crunching short lived business processes or those that are one offs or change rapidly. Especially if you don't have technical resources available to do it any other way.

The biggest issue they had was not understanding that the data from one area (Wales) was in a different format from the others - an integer that represented rank (lowest being best) rather than a test score - that would probably still not been noticed if they'd used something else.
This is staggering to me if I’m reading this right - only around a third of people are taking even one sick day per year, and it was substantially less in prior years. I suppose in some industries you can work from home if you’re ill. Do these stats include people who take PTO?

I’d love to see some comparable stats from other countries as well.
They're still trying to do things at global scale when it's sadly limited to YC batch potentials to find a room in the Bay Area c. 2011 because there is a huge difference between mostly college-educated, investable individuals with socio-economic accountability for a smaller audience and the general public with only superficial, limited economic accountability.

I wish this wasn't the case, but the problem is the liabilities introduced in assuming everyone is cool and going to do The Right Thing™. Amongst a small cadre of cool people, it looks workable and it works for a while.

“We care about a collaborative environment,” and you look at their values statements and it’s all about delivering shareholder value or hitting the bottom line. Well, you’re not actually encouraging collaboration and pausing to get to know somebody—there’s a disconnect.

Trying to encourage any sort of camaraderie in environments where the default experience is that you are a disposable commodity is laughable.Even the revered workplace of google was firing employees with 20 years at the org by locking them out of slack to buy back their own shares. I would prefer knowing where I stand from day 1 than getting blindsided.
What is all this supposed to mean? All I can understand is that they somehow want to provide a natural language interface to a kernel? Why kernel(tm)?
I'm not an expert, but something rubs me the wrong way about slapping TM on kernel, a word that already has a common technical use.

It would be like General Mills advertising its new breakfast(TM) cereal.
misleading title - both RPython and Truffle/Graal are not interpeters but JIT compilers instead - the connection with interpretation is that they offer (or claim to) automatic construction of a JIT compiler if the user writes an interpreter.
