> We have people dying in hospitals because the software of the heart monitor glitched or misread a sensor.

You're on! Okay, I will need

- the make and model number of this unit, and whatever documentation is available describing the glitch: what to look for under what conditions; steps to reproduce and such;

- the hardware itself: some contact person who will send it to me;

- SDK for the thing, and firmware codebase, with some documentation: how to build, flash;

- contact information for where to send fixes and have a related conversation;

- all of the above free: I will fix the problem, but I'm not paying for anything.

Until I have these things, I'm working on my pet project with what I have available.

> the US just doesn't believe much in regulating businesses

The US has tons of strange regulations like banning car manufacturers from selling cars themselves without a middleman or dictating what kind of showerheads are allowed to be sold.

I really don't think we're using the same Facebook. Facebook's ads are tiles in the feeds, they're very occasional ads that play after a video when you're in their video section, they're an occasional sponsored Reel that you can just swipe past, and they're a 0.75cm tall strip of products (I get Nordstrom) across the bottom of a playing Reel. Of all the advertising platforms, this seems one of the most respectful of me. Compare this to YouTube's unskippable preroll and mid-roll ads (though the cheap availability of Premium means you're choosing to pay with your time instead of money so :shrug: whatever). And compare with any local or national TV news website and most blog-style sites, laden with fake malware ads, "one weird trick for fat loss" with disgusting body horror pictures. I really genuinely do not find Meta that bothersome compared to almost anyone else.
No nuclear fallout to speak of (you can go outside and it's safe, unlike in Northen Hemisphere). Much milder temperature drop.
Covid era taught me how to stay put really long, so I'm gonna be prepared. Southern Hemisphere has plenty of cultivated land, so I only need to hold out until trade routes are somewhat restored. (From that point of view it's better to be in South America, but given their crime rate I'd rather be somewhere else during that time)
There are few things more important than comprehensive and up to date database documentation. Otherwise you don't even know what your data means. An organization that cannot produce documentation like that is somewhere between amateurish and waiting for a disaster to happen, unfortunately.
This will be a great jump forward. So much traffic is mobile.

You say prescriptive, but what does the Bible prescribe?

The word abortion appears zero times. As https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12178933/ points out, the clearest reference is to miscarriage. And there the fetus is valued at far less than a human life.

Just because a religion has taken a position on a topic doesn't mean that their religious texts agree.

> Someone else's property value is their problem, not mine.

On an individual level, sure, but if we have a repeat of 1929 or 2001 or 2008 or 2020 (we'll see about 2024), even if you're not personally directly affected, there are going to be ramifications that affect society beyond a couple of unlucky individuals. We don't really need another once-in-a-lifetime economic event.
> Its not actually upstream, is it?

I agree: it's not at all clear from the title, it sounds as if it's truly "upstream."

But patches based on an upstream tree (as opposed to any forks intended for Android) are pretty useful IMO. They're not accepted/landed but you can use them now and I'd wager good money that they'll continue rebasing them until they land, so you should expect to be able to use them for the foreseeable future.
Family doesn't require marriage
I'm in the same boat right now. I'm an average programmer who's been doing it for around 6-7 years.

Most HN posts are way technical for me, but there's a lot of other good tech news on here.

I'm interviewing now and I feel like I chose the wrong career because leetcode is a requirement everywhere. I graduated 10 years ago and didn't even know what leetcode was until around 5 years ago. Although to be fair I wasn't taking programming as a career very seriously during my degree which was in CS, I have to embarrassingly admit.
uMatrix breaks so much across the entire internet that I feel like it has an effect here. But I haven't done any tests to confirm that.
>Thirteen Baltimore City high schools don't have a single student who has achieved grade-level proficiency in math.
A recent news headline.

The system is failing those students in such complete ways that I can't see any way in which homeschooling could be worse than that. Those kids could probably learn better math by sleeping with a textbook under their pillow and relying on osmosis.

A kid could probably get better education just by being bored and left in a room with books and select access to educational YouTube videos than what parts of the educational system offer.

Btw there was a epic tweek lately along the lines of: I pay my son 10$ for every book he reads. It's my best deal ever and he thinks he is ripping me off.
The linked pdf states the following:

"The percentage of all births to unmarried women was 40.0% in 2021, down 1% from 2020 (40.5%) (Table 9) (15). The
percentage of all births to unmarried women peaked in 2009 at
41.0% (13,15).

The percentage of nonmarital births in 2021 increased from
2020 for non-Hispanic Asian (12.6% in 2021) and Hispanic
(53.2%) women. The percentage decreased for non-Hispanic
White (27.5%), non-Hispanic Black (70.1%), and non-Hispanic
AIAN (68.5%) women. The percentage was unchanged for non-
Hispanic NHOPI women (51.8%). The number of nonmarital
births was essentially unchanged from 2020 (1,464,121) to
2021 (1,464,455) (15).

Nonmarital birth rates declined from 2020 to 2021 for
women in age groups under 30, with the rate for teenagers
aged 15–19 dropping 7% (to 13.0 per 1,000 in 2021), and the
rate for females aged 15–17 declining to another all-time low
(5.6). Conversely, the nonmarital birth rate reached a historic
peak of 38.2 for women aged 35–39. The rates were essentially
unchanged for women aged 30–34 (58.5) and 40–44 (11.4)."

So it appears to be trending down from a high in 2009.
You are welcome to be skeptical and I will happily continue to use these tools for drafting code and writing every day. I usually provide documentation for the systems I want to use on input. Then I include source code of anything I'm hacking on. If none exists I build it up using "let's do this step by step" where the first step is outlining or architecture and subsequent steps fill out components. The same pattern works for long form prose. Having 100k tokens is almost enough. It means the model can attend to a ton of relevant information.

Also, this works well when the system gives you patches. I wouldn't say "rewrite this entire thing to make this one change" because if it's anything non trivial it will shift. Again I see the same patterns for code and text. Ask for small changes, contained updates. Guide the model to work in small increments, using abstraction to deal with high level broad topics.
To be fair, my peers were fucking up back buttons long before the term "SPA" ever hit the scene.

> one person owns the worldwide artistic rights to Vantablack

Not that it really matters. The "artistic rights" were a one off marketing gimmick.

You can't actually buy Vantablack as a paint. You have to have approval from the UK Ministry of Defense and then send your part to the Surrey Nanosystems facility to get coated.
I got a little “looks like a key but is a foldable pocket knife” as a gift a few years ago - and was amazed at how often I ended up using it.
> Yes, it's fact that humans are male, female, or other.

And it is a fact that humans have zero, one, two, or more legs. But you would
never argue with the scientific claim that humans are a bipedal mammal. The
exceptions do not invalidate the norm.

> This runs contrary to your claim.

It does not run contrary to my claim. My claim is that humans are either male
or female. And this is wildly, overwhelmingly true.

I don't feel any need to qualify the statement that humans are two-legged creatures
either.

There are exceptions in both cases, but they're not the norm.

> Intersex people are more common than gold.

It was your analogy, not mine.
That communism always ended up in authoritarian regimes isn't relevant to what I'm referring to. We generally oppose communism to say capitalism or liberalism for organising the economy and authoritarianism to democracy for organising governance.

There is a few essential properties of a "communist" system that modern China doesn't have. Most of the capital is privately owned, the social safety net is very poor, etc.

> completely unregulated nature.

From what I can tell, homeschooled kids are given a curriculum with books/workbooks for both the student and the teacher. They are also tested by the state and must meet certain criteria.

so there seems to be guidance and verification.

You’re using the phrase dog whistle incorrectly.
I heard a good lay explanation on the most recent Upgrade podcast (around 30:00.) The explanation was provided by an anonymous Apple employee. Dynamic caching is about setting the allocated memory per GPU thread. Historically, threads received fixed allocations. These had tradeoffs since overallocation caused performance bottlenecks and right-sized allocation underutilized the RAM. Dynamic cacheing adjusts per-thread allocations so the memory per utilized thread adds up to the max available amount more often. Developers do not need to change any code to benefit.

If all that is true, it sounds like a good improvement. And it sounds plausible that Apple was the first since it would require the whole system to work in synch without introducing latency in rendering, a good use of an SoC. I’d still like to see benchmarks and understand potential failure/bottleneck scenarios.
That take presumes that the morals you've been taught came directly from the lips of God. Otherwise, it's other people making stuff up.

The Golden Rule is pretty self-explanatory and is a solid foundation for moral behavior. I don't rape, murder, steal, etc., not because I'm afraid of God's wrath, or that of the police -- it's because I wouldn't want those things to happen to me or my loved ones and am able to understand that others feel this way too.

Meanwhile, that moral absolutism give license to kill people for blasphemy. And there's plenty more horrible things that are done to others because God said so.

Everybody's entitled to have their own relationship with God (even as an atheist I do in my own way), and I acknowledge that there's plenty of good that comes from people practicing their faith, but that is easily countered by very bad stuff that is morally justified by their interpretations of scripture.

And this concern is everybody's -- because there's ongoing efforts to make the US into a theocracy and that would be a very bad thing.
Having a reverse countdown is valuable too.

3-2-1 steps to go is more engaging than step 1-2-3.

Same goes for a progress bar that says the percent remaining instead of the percent complete.

Would be awesome to be able to customize this in a way that looks natural.
I've been using GPT-4 for coding since it's launched. I did try Phind when you launched it with GPT4 and found it useful but I use VS Code and hate having to switch. I see you do have a VS Code extension now (great job!). I tried the phind model and at first glance it definitely looks better than GPT-4 wrt coding. Do you have any plans to provide this model as an API?
Even if they are physically identical, that does not make them “genuine”. A genuine part will also typically come with a warranty that the seller will honor in case of a defect.

And how can you be sure that they are “real apple parts from the real Apple factory”? Because some factory on the other side of the world, who in the best case have proven that they are willing to engage in shady business practices by violating their agreement with Apple, says so? How do you know they aren’t parts that failed some quality control check? Or that they aren’t just outright counterfeit?

The thing that makes an Apple part genuine is Apple’s word, their reputation, and willingness to stand behind it.
Right, a family member of mine was recently home schooled after their freshman year of high school. For a long list of reasons which can be summarized as the local public school was absolute garbage small town meth capital level of schooling. (Think no AP/etc classes) and a local district unwilling to provide an alternative school.

Home schooling in this case was basically 70 something credits from the local community college, a handful of CLEP exams, and a bunch of highschool credits from the state online highschool system. The result was a diploma from said local highschool and an AA from the community college and acceptance to a college in the top 50 nationally.

So, its not all dumb parents doing dumb things, but sometimes parents making the best out of a poor set of circumstances.

And AFAIK the diploma from the crappy HS was just a rubber stamp to check the "graduated from HS" for the community college to grant the AA, and the public Uni to take them as a junior (at age 18 no less).

edit: And I should point out the local HS itself apparently had some decent teachers/etc, its just the administration was catering to a conservative community largely disinterested in public education made worse by the fact that the top 10% or so of economically advantaged students had already left the district for a fancy private school or some kind of early college classes similar to my family member. Its the white version of the inner city failing school story, except there wasn't a better highschool on the other side of town for the motivated kids/parents to transfer to unless you also had 15k/year to spend.
What I'm trying to get across is that a sense of morality is with us all. We have a generally shared understand of goodness, justice, etc. My point is that that morality is impossible to justify in a godless universe.

"People feel good when they help ...".
No argument. But is morality just about the feels? No, it isn't.
Note that this release is not, as of this comment, finished being published and approved in any of the four browser app stores, so you may not see the new version when using check for updates (if you installed the normal way) until they’ve finished the release process.

This is a federal crime. There is no parole. Not since Reagan was president.
I turned it off. The primary reason is that I use ctrl+arrow keys to move between workspaces frequently.

These might seem unrelated, but:

* There's a `defaults set` setting that allows you to speed up the transition animation length from 1 second to 0.5 second, which is huge because that transition is extremely poorly implemented (it leaves the windows on the workspace that you're leaving activated until the transition is complete, so you start typing and it's on the other screen you can't even see any more) and VERY SLOW

* That setting only works if the refresh rate is 60Hz, and it completely fails to do anything if ProMotion is on, because for some reason the animation length isn't programmed to handle the different refresh rates.

So having ProMotion off relieves frustration.
CSS transitions and animations seem to be declared using expressions that are continuous over time so it would make sense that they are just quantized down to whatever refresh rate the system supports.

>Who are you to come and say that these videos shouldn't be on YouTube and that these creators shouldn't get paid from me watching their videos? How does our use infringe on yours?

I'm me. I'm the world's leading expert on my own opinion. If you watch enough YouTube, you might become an expert on someone's opinion, but likely not on mine.

Your use doesn't infringe anything. Please check that you've responded to a comment relevant to your defensive take on the situation. My comment, again, is in regards to Khan Academy, a 501c venture.

Residents of third world countries can use it in place of a university education, since they don't have one.

In short, I don't think you're on topic. But, maybe I'm the one that didn't understand.

Does your family use YouTube in place of a university education, but you'd prefer to watch ads than to have donors from wealthier nations pay to remove them for you?

If you answered yes, I'm intrigued. Please continue. If not, you're probably off topic and needlessly defending against a point I'm not making.
Alternate title: the graph that broke HN's brain. You'll notice that 1) sugar consumption peaked around Y2K and declined after 2) the decline was driven by a decline in consumption of High-Fructose Corn Syrup (the most vilified sugar) specifically, and 3) the average American now consumes about as much added sugar as the average American did in 1970--yet their waistlines are not remotely comparable.

Technically the graph is of per capita added sugar availability and isn't adjusted for loss (due to spoilage, plate waste, etc.), but it meshes with NHANES survey data: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9434277/

>In conclusion, over the 18 year time span, from 2001 to 2018, added sugars intake declined significantly among younger adults (19–50 years) in the U.S., regardless of race and ethnicity (i.e., similar for Black and White individuals), income level, physical activity level or body weight status, and declines were mainly due to reductions in added sugars intake from sweetened beverages (primarily soft drinks and fruit drinks). These trends coincide with the evolving emphasis in the DGA on reducing added sugars intake and the increasing focus on population-level interventions aimed at reducing intakes.

I believe in most relational databases you can just alter a column to allow null values and run a series of transactions in the background to set that column value to null, and that will quite effectively free up most of the physical overhead of the column in question. I would be reluctant to delete, rename, or even clear all the data out of a column without providing an alias though.
