Salt to taste, cook until brown, kneed until the dough is no longer sticky, everything about cooking is tasting and feeling. Moreover everybody has differences in their tastes and consistency preferences. Good recipe books teach you how to use ingredients and apply that knowledge to recipes and how to modify those recipes to your personal preferences. Sure an LLM can generate novel recipes but without the premise of taste, texture and food pairing tuned in to personal preference, the novel recipe is a crap shoot in the dark. The reality is, the more you learn to cook, the less you need recipes and a good cookbokk will teach you alot more than a pile of recipes.
Programming languages do matter but not as much as many people think f.ex. the HN crowd has a soft spot for LISP, and most of the don't even have proper parallel execution (and no I am not talking OS threads, having direct access to those should honestly be removed at one point). And sure, Racket and a few others are "Working on having an actor model". Wake me up when they achieve it. I am betting on somewhere in the 2030s, best case scenario.

A combination of a good and restrictive language compiler (Rust, OCaml, Haskell) and an amazing runtime (Erlang) is the sweet spot that everyone should be aiming at.

If anything, I am very tired of seeing yet another LISP dialect -- or any other language really, come to think of it now -- being announced. Many of us the programmers love to play and going to check on these languages is IMO taking away precious mind-share.

If anything, in my eyes it's exactly because programming languages matter is the reason why we should have less of them. We should start folding some languages inside others. (Or abandon them.)
> After moving to Europe and seeing how mobile kids are without cars even, i wish i had that growing up, as just seems so much nicer to be able to meet friends and do things without needing a car or having to survive biking in traffic.

Same, but in regards to moving to NYC recently. Seeing just random groups of kids who look no older than middle schoolers riding on subway along with everyone else and just going about their day and visiting places on weekends makes me feel happy for them. Just knowing that people are able to have that kind of experiences I only could dream of having as a child. Makes me feel hopeful, knowing that at least some of the kids in get to grow up like this.

I am very confident that helicopter parenting was the biggest hindrance when it came time for me to get out into the real world. The level of preparedness that those kids growing up in NYC will have is a great advantage. Quite a few of my friends who grew up in NYC (and other places with similar cultures around public transport usage; ofc almost all of those other ones were outside of the US) definitely have that “just built different” feel to them. And that feel mostly extends to things like going to places, trying new things, independence/drive, etc., which all feel like extensions of those experiences I described above.

Not trying to say “NYC-grown people are special, and people from the rest of the US is all the same and lame,” that’s entirely false. Lots of different parts of the US with people who grew up there having their own unique culture and “built different” feel (SoCal, south-east, north-east, PNW, Texas, etc.). But in terms of that independence and just being able to go places and do things on your own from a very early age (way before you can get a driver’s permit/license in any US state), it absolutely feels like it gives people something that is very difficult to replicate otherwise.
I was hoping they banned them for all countries including the cia backed ones.

No, it’s not like a cheating partner. The United States is a country. It’s not a single person. It can’t be hypocritical the way a person can.

Different people get elected and are in charge of the US at different times. This is why a country like the US doesn’t behave consistently the way a person does. Judging countries as though they were people is committing the fallacy of composition.

Lawmakers rarely specify the how. That is left up to the interpretation of companies, regulators, and courts. When sensible, this is a hedge against technological change, but obviously it can be and is abused to create atmospheres of fear for the risk averse.

2) I don't know what the rules are for broadcasts at different times of day, but I do know they exist

3) I have always been perplexed as to why violence is considered so much more acceptable than, for example, sexuality. Outright murder? Apparently a suitable topic for children's shows. Nipples, which are the defining characteristic of the class Mammalia to which we belong? Hide them all!

If you kindly read my comment again, you will see that I DON'T call the general population of Gaza scum. It's Hamas, who are in my opinion, are scum.

If you disagree with that statement then I invite you to read more about the organization history, their worldview, their goals and actions.
a blockade of food, water and electricity, all crucial, especially when you are confined in a small area with low resources and a lot of people is a genocide. combine it with a bombing campaign that is indiscriminately targeting civilians and their infrastructure, from internet to hospitals is a war crime.

keep in mind the blockade and hindering the economic development of Gaza is not new.

there is no such thing as eradicating hamas because Israel and its policies are a recruitment tool. This conflict will continue and the children today will be fighting in a few years because what choice do they have than resist.

The palestinians don't hide that their high fertility rate is politically motivated and have structured their society to marry young and have a lot of children as it is an act of Resistance.

not all children make it, the malnutrition rate was around 15%. again, all caused by Israel as they have control major aspects of that open air prison.

I think if you are shooting fish in a barrel and the international community lets you do it, you don't get to complain about the splashes and you certainly shouldn't be claiming the moral high ground.

no matter how much the politicians or corporate mainstream media keep repeating it, Israel and its apartheid genocidal policies don't have international support.
Look up “fomite transmission.” Rhinovirus colds do transmit that way. Most are also transmitted by aerosols, so you are correct in that… people were wrong that thought you could virtually eliminate virus transmission by just washing your hands a lot.
The article I saw was this one - It claims 10,000 administrators and support staff compared to 7500 undergraduates. I'm guessing your numbers include all employees and all students, including graduate students? Clearly, one should compare administrators etc. who are focused on undergrads with the number of undergrads. The link below includes a reference to the original study, so I suppose one could tease out the proper numbers. But, in any case, there are a lot of administrators these days.

Thanks for the info.

Every bill is drafted in committee, but the ruling party(majority in the House of Commons) also gets to fill most of the roles in the committee- which makes sense because it would be wasted effort if the committee made a change that the ruling party would not support.
Well clearly here you have a bunch of elites that just don't care about the average employee at one of these places. This article is full of so much garbage and hand waving it's incredible. This is the exactly the kind of elitist attitude that the average person is fed up with because it shows that they do not live in the same reality that most people do.

Their claim that overall theft rates are the same, fine those are statistics that are easy to validate. Then they tell us that the type of theft has changed from a passive non-confrontational form to an overt confrontational form. According to them these two forms of theft are entirely equal because the total amount hasn't changed. Therefore the stores who complain about theft are exaggerating their problems. I wonder what they would think about the difference between someone robbing their house when they're on vacation and someone robbing their house while they're in the middle of eating dinner. Yes they're both robberies but one is infinitely more traumatic than the other. To tell store owners and the employees that work there that must deal with this kind of smash and grab trauma that they're overblowing the situation by calling for better policing is ridiculous.

Who reads this article and buys into this nonsense of equating violent crime with non-violent crime because the goal of the crime was the same and the overall level has remained the same. I really wish that I was able to live in such opulence then I was totally insulated from this such as these writers and the people they interviewed must be. This is the literal talking out of both sides of their mouth because they complain when businesses want better policing or when they close their stores and the businesses are citing the safety concerns of their employees, but if these stores remained open and these actions resulted in the injury or deaths of an employee they would be the first to blame the business for not doing enough to protect the employees. They're also the first to reach into that company's pockets and demand that they provide benefits for the trauma that these employees have to endure instead of just solving the root problem.

When stores can be robbed with smash and grab impunity while the store is open and customers and employees are there that shows that criminals feel that they can act without repercussions. That is an extremely scary state that society has gotten to. Having the levels of robbery be the same is simply telling us that it's the same percentage of people who are resorting to this kind of crime. When the activity has changed from being sneaky and attempting to avoid being seen or caught to not caring and just grabbing what you want and leaving we have a very big societal issue that needs addressed. This article proposes that we do absolutely nothing about it because if greater policing isn't the answer and stiffer sentences isn't the answer there needs to be an answer that works and nothing in this article proposes anything of value. Only that companies are just lying to us and over blowing a problem to cover up lower profits.
Ask HN: Need tips from Software Developers on maintaining health
Hello World,
I'm struggling a bit with my health. As a software developer all day long, I keep staring on my laptop. Sitting and I'm so used to this that even on Saturdays, I've (out of habit) open up the laptop and try something out.

This is impacting my health.
- I've gained weight.
- I've got nothing else to do.
- I have tried gym but extensive work hours keep messing with my rhythm.

The internet advice is from people who aren't in the same situation as I am. They say wake up at certain time, eat X Y Z meals. N % protien, G gms of Sodium etc.
But I on the other hand need to run builds, do deployments, and fix if anything is broken. I get mentally exhausted by the end of day.

How are you able to deal with this? Need help please.
Cool project! Can you elaborate on "scalable" AI deployment? We are exploring the data + AI space in EvaDB and would love to exchange notes [1].

> Do you know any case where a hiring decision was decided by somebody being thought to be bad at teaching?

Personally no, but I'm sure they exist. For my debarment, hiring decisions are usually unanimous or with a few salty holdouts, but overall we only hire if the vote is overwhelming. If it seems split, we hold off.

> How does a hiring committee evaluate somebody's teaching quality?

The way we do it, during the on-campus interview, the candidate gives a lecture of their choice in front of a class of students. We record it and observe. Students submit feedback.

You can also use recommendation letters. We require at least 3.
As a both devops and ML professional at my job (it's a small company), I viscerally cringe at the same kurtosis for this company (which I just learned about). There could be some kind of latent jealously/projection causing that cringe, but here's my rationale (could be very specific to my career):

* Devops folks don't seem to tend to like math and often got there by practicing, "computers, IT, having fun hooking things together and getting them running."

* Data science folks don't tend to like devops and prefer to bash around on a jupyter notebook that's already given to them and then maybe extract that python and see if it runs, but they tend to come from more of a science background and got into python as a hobby or incidentally. They do not like bashing around and getting things running.

So now this company is combining a math term that has a specific meaning to an ML ops space, which is going to cause confusion.

Different sets of data can have different kurtosis measures. Sets can be platykurtic (flat gaussian curve or high kurtosis) or leptokurtic (tall gaussian curve, low kurtosis).

Now this company is coming in and telling a bunch of devops people, "Kurtosis means helm but automatically migrate data too." So they are applying the idea of, "leptokurtic deployments," presumably with the metric being, variation between the code and data parameters on those servers. Data science people who are told about it from devops people are going to initially hear, "somehow dealing with cleaning the data, like an ETL pipeline, perhaps an Airflow with data cleaning tools built in or something."

It's very confusing and not helpful to customers, I hate it. There are going to be meetings where ML/Devops people are very confused.

Naming is hard though -- but I wish they would have gone with something like, "platypus" and just have a cute little platypus baby as the logo and say, "yeah we liked the word platykurtic because we like making things regular and platykurtic sounds like platypus."
Photos of the plants could be useful. My wife said a plant was X or Y, but then we had to google X and Y to see which one it really was.

> For tax purposes, heavy SUVs, pickup trucks and vans are treated as transportation equipment, meaning they qualify for 100% first year bonus depreciation. Note that they must have a manufacturer’s gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) above 6,000 lbs.
Thanks for the reference - indeed no. But it is also totally not my focus/interest, so how I meant it actually there was that when that term reached me, it must have already been much spread and likely something 5-10 years after its creation ;)
Caste is an accurate word to describe it.
Factually accurate (to some degree), but almost completely irrelevant.

First, not all problems that can be solved with code are math problems. Take driving a serial port, for instance. There might be some aspects of it that are mathematical, but mostly it's a matter of interfacing with the chip spec.

Second, even for problems that are isomorphic to a math problem... the thing about isomorphisms is that they aren't identical. One form or the other is often easier to deal with. (That's one of the reasons we care about isomorphisms - we can turn hard problems into easier ones.)

Well, which is easier, writing programs or doing proofs? Almost always, writing programs is easier. This is why it's (almost) completely irrelevant.

Nobody wants to write code that way. So nobody cares. They're not going to care, either, no matter how forcefully you point out Curry-Howard.

Now, as you say elsewhere, you can gain insights from math that can change your code. That's true. But I suspect that most of the time, you don't actually write the code as a proof.
I don’t use chatgpt or LLMs for anything factual at all given the workflow you’ve described of asking a question and then needing to separately search all results. But they are very useful for framing documents, summarizing things, etc.

"Would I" is the wrong question entirely.
Almost everyone thinks they're better than average, which is statistically impossible, of course.
No one caring about public safety will ever ask "would i", but "would the average person" because while they cannot avoid one specific accident, they're not trying to, they're trying to reduce the average: hence only average matters. To be completely honest, that's not completely true either, but it's the starting point... other things they must definitely consider is "would this AI cause fatal accidents by doing extremely dumb things, even if very rarely?" - because imagine that deaths are reduced by 90% when most vehicles are self-driving... but that every accident that happens is due to some extremely dumb bug, like "every 2 million parkings, the car will just reverse too fast without checking for obstacles and runover a child". That kind of thing would make for very bad PR and people are very sensitive to that kind of thing - even though that's not the most rational behaviour (as countless other children would've been saved in the grand scheme of things).

> The problem is that, only after the interaction does the metrologist learn which input would have been optimal.
one of the (main) benefits of coroutines is the luxury of offloading thread management and semantics to a lower layer so that we can deal in functions/methods (aka units of execution) as units of concurrency. obviously that comes at a cost, like any general purpose convenience.
> There is no amount of teaching quality, be it proven and famed, that would offset that in places I've seen. Staying in the same country (or even the same university) is a hard deal breaker in a lot of places...

We've absolutely hired teaching faculty without a Ph.D. (therefore lacking in publications) due to their excellent teaching ability. See my other reply about how we evaluate their ability.
It's easy but there are decisions made that hamstring you - like being unable to change cache-control headers in the next.config.js or middleware or have your middleware use node APIs, which is especially stupid because when self-hosting... it's running in node!

They are optimizing for deploying to the edge, which when self hosting you don't need to.

So whether malicious or not, their guard rails conveniently make it frustrating to self host once you need to do anything outside of their garden.
I'm struggling in finding the source, but I read some in depth analysis that reports that bing only got 0.53% market share since the launch of chatGPT integration. Apparently they are cannibalising small players but not google.
It does only if you prefer to take the "army" part absolutely literally. Which you shouldn't because, as clearly stated, it's a joke. Literary German is governed by the one regulatory body - Rat für deutsche Rechtschreibung - recognized not by three, but seven European countries. And this what makes German one language. If tomorrow, say, Liechtenstein decides it's not going to follow the same rules, there will be two.

Careful with that irony Eugene,

there have been displays on the news even recently of people who find the Arts unacceptable because they may depict genitals (Greek Urns, Renaissance Statues etc.),

so easily you will find around voices that could respond recommending that children be protected from exposure to the Arts.

(And - ironically - not from the obscenity of those very voices.)

Are you the author?

It would be nice to add a totorial for laymen. Perhaps two examples with two images in each one. One is one raw CT slice and the other is colored to show part like liver, spine, guts, cancer.

In some images I saw a huge blob and I thought it was the chest and I was confused because I expected to see the divison of the two lungs. I guess it was the liver. Do I have to look for the hole of the esophagus near the border?
Saying "2020 Surface Go" implies the 2020 model. Which yours isn't the model from 2020, it's the model from 2018.

Which is why it's a lot better to use the actual product names instead of just the year you purchased it. If I buy a 1950s car in 2023 I probably shouldn't call it a 2023 car.
