You're right, sorry about the rhetoric, i was extremely angry at such "welfare queen" rhetoric.
I've calmed down and read your comment twice.
Of course it's not magic. Of course it shifts the burden elsewhere (9 people own more wealth than 3.6 billion combined, there's plenty of burden that need be fricken shifted). Of course it would require new taxes (mostly on the rich, most people end up paying less for care, i'll pay 500 in taxes over 1k in premiums any day of the week). We will spend more on healthcare either way as you note, this is the cheapest way through the storm with the best allocation of the tax burden.

I also completely agree with the prophylactic notion of reducing medical burden by increasing healthiness. Idk about fat camp specifically but shit like better healthier foods in schools and killing food deserts and reducing poverty would all go a great extend to help. Like you are agreeing with me in a different form, "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" and early healthcare before problems get bad is part of that.

>And more broadly speaking, welfare benefits in general also are not things that will improve society as a whole at no cost.

Who said they would do it at no cost? I think i simply noted it would be cheaper than the inhumane way we do it now. So it's more humane AND the math is better. Literally the only reason to think like that crab in a bucket i replied to does is if you're a meanie who wants the poor to suffer instead of accepting a poor might get some healthcare or not starve on their tax dime. that's what made me so mad. I am still sorry for commenting in the manner as I did. I was fully prepared to be quickly flagged lol.

Re welfare benefits, they produce some of the best return of dollars spent by the government. Like besides the irs, (quick search shows 400$ in revenue per 1$ spent on irs, 6:1 $ gain if we spent more on enforcement) nothing comes back quicker per dollar spent than giving poor people money. It goes straight in to the economy.

> Very interesting that ChatGPT seems to prompt Dall-E via the client, rather than keeping that interaction entirely server-side. Keeping it server-side would be less likely to leak details as seen here, and makes it less susceptible to tampering.

I don't have access to test, but given OpenAI's record on stuff like this, it would be a good idea for someone to check to see whether users can resend/intercept those requests to directly control the prompts that are sent to Dall-E without going through GPT.

Most likely they're only part of conversation history and they're unmodifiable, but I wouldn't necessarily take it as a given, and it would be quick for anyone with access who knows their way around the browser dev tools to check.
I’m really confused by this new trend of people being super aggressive about things that won’t matter at all. Why not spend the energy somewhere it might make a difference?
Hey Lee, thank you for replying. It's nice to be heard! I know that everyone is working hard, and no software of Next's ambition is perfect, much less at this stage, but all the same, I think there's a threshold for stable that isn't being met, and I think that's doing your users a disservice.

The issues I'm experiencing are for the App Router. Namely, and to keep things reasonable scoped, with parallel routes. These are being recommended for common use cases, but a lot of things are broken along their way (along with intercepting routes)... I'd recommend searching issues for the full breadth, but here are a few that jump to mind:

Server actions don't work in parallel routes unless that route was hard navigated:
https://github.com/vercel/next.js/issues/54173

Parallel routes don't unmount if navigated from with anything other than router.back()... this might be a documentation issue, as I recently got this to work as expected in one case with a null page.js at the root of the parallel route:
https://github.com/vercel/next.js/issues/49662

CSS Modules don't work on hard navigation... entire paths render unstyled:
https://github.com/vercel/next.js/issues/52245
https://github.com/vercel/next.js/issues/56524

Speaking of CSS Modules, they import multiple times in indeterminate order. This breaks precedence and the cascade, making styles indeterminate. There are hacks that mitigate this, but even with the hacks it causes problems:
https://github.com/vercel/next.js/issues/51030

These aren't exactly edge cases, and to get at the heart of my complaint, they haven't been acknowledged, or haven't been followed up on for months, despite being marked stable. I don't mean to suggest that you all aren't doing the best you can, and I certainly don't mean to suggest that you can do better technically, but as a user it's concerning to get in deep and continually run into beta issues on what's meant to be stable, and be in the dark as to when they'll get resolved, much less if the team is even aware of them.
Is this dance move the “out of money shuffle”?
According to this link, he and his passenger cooked their own food: rice and beans, pasta, salt fish, and dried fruits, with sprouts for vitamins [http://www.marinebuzz.com/2008/02/23/soanya-ahmad-abandons-1...].

The food shelf-life problem is solved if you can rehydrate and cook foods, like this crew did. But a spacecraft has the cooking facilities of an office breakroom — just a microwave and source of hot water. And in that situation, where you need precooked heat-in-bag foods that stay shelf-stable for three years without refrigeration, we don't yet have the technology.
Let’s start with an example to explain why it’s difficult to write in SQL: calculate the maximum consecutive days that a stock keeps rising.

SELECT MAX(ContinuousDays)
FROM (SELECT COUNT(*) ContinuousDays
FROM (SELECT SUM(UpDownTag) OVER ( ORDER BY TradeDate) NoRisingDays
FROM (SELECT TradeDate,
CASE WHEN Price>LAG(price) OVER ( ORDER BY TradeDate)
THEN 0 ELSE 1 END UpDownTag
FROM Stock ) )
GROUP BY NoRisingDays )

SQL adopts a four-layer nested code, which is more complicated overall. This problem was once used as a recruitment test of our company, the pass rate was less than 20%. Since this test question was too difficult, we modified it: give the statement and ask the candidate to find its objective. Unfortunately, the pass rate was still not high. What does it tell us? It tells us that once the calculation logic becomes slightly complex, SQL will become difficult in both understanding and writing!

Then, how SPL solve these?

For the first example:

Stock.sort(TradeDate).group@i(Price<Price[-1]).max(~.len())

There are two anecdotes here disagreeing with you, and frankly that's enough to say what you said above isn't true, not universally so. I doubt Odixe is targeting big deployment like yours, but more like theirs. Whether they will succeed is another matter, but they do have a valid sales pitch and the expertise to pull it off.
from the readme:

It is designed to provide high performance and serves as an embeddable 'scripting' language for C++ applications that require fast and reliable performance, such as games or back end/servers. Additionally, it functions effectively as a standalone programming language.
Sorry, desktop, you're gonna have to suck hind tit. Most users are on mobile, so that's what gets targeted.

Even open source is like this now: GNOME, Wayland, and systemd are designed around the most common use cases their developers anticipate and if you fall into one of the more obscure categories... well, tough.
What's the point about using a functional language like Gleam / Elixir for web-server applications?

I used the work for WhatsApp in Erlang, and there's a strong use case for OTP / BEAM for messaging apps, but it feels useful for anything else - especially a webserver where frameworks like Rails and Django are so easy / well supported. What do you think I'm missing?
Cruise, taking the high road to build public trust. For now.

I respect that.

Edit: yeah, I get they don’t have a perfect track record. But most tech companies don’t stop even when faced with issues like Cruise. Getting their cars off the road entirely is a major acknowledgment that their tech needs improvement, which is something I never expected from cruise.
> People have been trying to figure out hacks to get Midjourney to create consistent characters for the past year, and DALL-E 3 apparently has that ability as an undocumented feature! [by reusing the seed]

Using a constant seed to produce similar images has been the technique from the very start but it has limitations. You cannot e.g. keep the character consistant between different poses in this way.
Interesting video. When he says "we decode the embedding", does he essentially mean that he is searching a vector database or something else?
I haven't listened to Oxide & Friends, but I absolutely love On The Metal. The guests are eminent and extremely interesting, the hosts are passionate and fun, and there's always a wonderful chemistry among the hardware geeks on the show that just makes me so excited to get into hardware and see what the future brings for us. Highly recommended.
They just feel like they should say something about it, and that's the low hanging fruit.

How do you figure it's less volatile than gasoline?!

Hydrogen has a far lower boiling point (=volatility). Or did you mean how explosive it is? Hydrogen has a far wider range of explosive concentration than gasoline.

Autoignition point is lower for gasoline than hydrogen if you meant that, but the wide range of explosive concentrations for hydrogen seems like it would pretty much negate that safety benefit.

This implies the browser is pretty sold, but what about the network itself? How do we know all of the traffic isn't deanonymized due to a big company or government having control of a large number of nodes?

Storycurve and Doubly Linked Lists: Exploring Non-Linear Timelines

It's used to replace all looping. A combination of map and reduce is an alternative to loops.

Also you don't need map. You can use list comprehension to replace map. But list comprehensions can't replace reduce.

Technically reduce can also replace map. The only primitive you need to do all your iterations is technically just reduce.

If you want to get more elegant than you don't even need reduce. You can eliminate all redundant primitives and use functions themselves for iteration. It's Just recursion.

I share your opinion. I started my undergrad CS program in 2004, and familiarity with a Linux / Unix shell was a de facto expectation. The school and CS department servers that we had to use ran Linux. The tools that we had to use were all open-source, Linux-first. I remember asking for help once and having an upperclassman scoff and say that he couldn't help me, with my Windows machine and GUI, because he just used some command line tool.

I don't think I had heard of Linux before that time, and within a few months I realized that I needed to immerse myself by wiping Windows from my laptop and using Linux for all my day-to-day stuff. Many people opted for a Macbook instead because it gave them the same command line interface. So I think that Windows has never been the majority OS among computer scientists and, therefore, developers.

That's exactly the way sharing worked for many years, until Ventura.

> Sharing it to another recipient has no purpose other than to prompt accessing it.

Says you, but that's not universally true. And when you talk about another "recipient", it's important to clarify that sharing is between apps on your own system. Sharing between people may or may not occur as a result of that, which is another reason why I liken it to copy and paste.

> I’m not sure why you feel this is necessary to point out as a response here.

The point is that privacy is the default. It doesn't need to be justified. As Apple says repeatedly and vehemently, "We believe privacy is a fundamental human right."

Thanks for your reply, SQL is really good,but nothing in the world is perfect, technology is even more so, society is developing, always need the emergence of new technology, since dare to say so, must have done research to study, and SPL has been studied for 10 years, self-iteration several times, I hope you can try to understand it, thank you!
Thanks for the reply. Several of these I haven't encountered yet, but I wholeheartedly agree that the uselessness of "==" and insistence on "===" is some amateur-hour junk.

Let's see, what else... yes, I don't see the point of arrow functions. And the reliance on RTTI is just straight-up bad programming in any language.

So what would you choose to write a server in? I'm writing a fairly straightforward server to present a REST-stye API and access a database for a mobile app. I'm doing all this alone, so presumably I'm going to have to rely on at least a few frameworks for "routing" and serialization because I don't think I have time to roll my own.

This is a good move on Cruise's part. Cruise is still nowhere near the maturity level that Waymo was at when Waymo first started driving on public roads.

On the other hand, we definitely need a real competitor to Waymo. It doesn't seem likely, but hopefully some combination of Cruise, Apple(?), Tesla, or another player will be able to have a feasible alternative to Waymo's Driver.

Wasn't my intention. I'm sorry if I came off that way, I can see how my comment might be presumptive or pretentious. My bad. You don't have to do any of that. You don't even need to write Rust in my book, it's not the one true language or anything. That's just what's working for me personally.

My first six months with Rust were very painful and I struggled to write the simplest programs. (This was in fact, the first six months of my second attempt - the first time I tried to learn it, I gave up.) Eventually I learned how to work with it, and since then, it's my absolute favorite language to work in (though presently I mostly write Typescript and SQL, because I'm writing webapps). I tried to summarize what happened along the way and what changed.
> Honestly, I wouldn't mind at all.

That's great for you, but Apple claims that "privacy is a fundamental human right". So I'm going to hold Apple to that principle.
Interesting long read deep dive into USA's retail pharmacy system and how overw capacity the sites and employees are.

30 seconds per patient to check drug interactions, verify Rx and allergies. Might be okay for a child with no other meds, but for a 40 year old adult with a few other meds? A 70 year old with 12 other scripts?
I'm quite fond "areoforming," actually. And "aerography," etc. From Ares, the Greek god who the Romans called Mars--I've seen it used here and there.

It's very much the same thing as "a gaggle of geese" or "a murder of crows." It's just a bit of fun. Nothing to get worked up about.
I also like Tailscale as an example of this. Really great platform for devs to jump on for home labs and build experience.
I hope you're right, but I doubt it personally.

They still 100% follow a script, it's just a more florid one. If anything it's harder to get the kind of service that makes a real difference in Japan.
It's hard to express accurate pronunciation of Japanese to English speakers, in writing, because most of them have no idea what a geminate consonant is. If you're speaking, you can show them just what it sounds like verbally and teach them quickly, but in writing like this it's not so simple.
Nope. They lied to the DMV and withheld footage.

https://www.vice.com/en/article/4a3ba3/california-dmv-suspen...

>> The day after the incident, DMV representatives met with Cruise to “discuss the incident.” During that meeting, Cruise only showed footage up to the first complete stop, according to the Order of Suspension. No one at Cruise told the officers or showed any footage of the subsequent pullover maneuver and dragging. The DMV only learned of that from “another government agency.” When DMV asked for footage of that part of the incident, Cruise provided it.
It takes a little bit of a mindset change to adjust to how sprawling the game is. If you get stuck on something, move on to one of the hundreds of other quests and eventually you'll be ready for that big challenge again.
My reading of the article was that this (and most above average hurricanes these days) was probably due to climate change, since the ocean was warmer than usual, etc. However, repeating that isn’t particularly interesting. In other news, it is 2023.

The interesting question then is why all the models screwed up so badly. Is it because climate change means the model is now inaccurate, or was this within the baseline (no climate change) error rate of current weather prediction technology?

Quoting the article:

> This rich warm water did not hurt matters at all.

> So how did every reliable model we use miss this?
of course does, it is just mostly stationary.

The video footage present to the department ended with the AV’s initial stop following the hard-braking maneuver. Footage of the subsequent movement of the AV to perform a pullover maneuver was not shown to the department and Cruise did not disclose that any additional movement of the vehicle had occurred after the initial stop of the vehicle. The department only learned of the AV’s subsequent movement via discussion with another government agency. The department requested Cruise provide a copy of the video with the additional footage, which was received by the department on October 13, 2023.”

As is often the case, it's the cover-up that gets you in the real trouble.
As someone who doesn't live in silicon valley or in any major cities, it's always strange to see HN users talk about these companies as though they already have widespread recognition. I've never seen a car once in my life, and if I did I would probably be fairly cautious around it. I imagine a large portion of Americans would feel similarly.
