That is the grand philosophical question.

Should companies be able to do this?

Is Amazon a marketplace, or the marketplace? Rewind 15 years ago, and I compared local retail, Amazon, NewEgg, Buy.com, etc. I researched each product, and then researched which site would give me a good price plus shipping. Of course Amazon won this battle and edged out many competitors.

But most people tend to go to Amazon, and let Amazon make decisions for them. That's kind of our own fault, but it's also worrying. Now I won't argue that Apple is or isn't the best maker of whatever product someone went to Amazon to shop for. But I still would like the products to be presented equally and fairly.

But... I suppose I want companies to be able to give each other money to get different levels of service, too. How do you draw this line?
I feel like chat with a pdf is the easiest thing to integrate into various niches -- fitness, nutrition, so many different options
Why should everyone have perfectly equal access to non-necessities? What, specifically, is “democratic” about making sure poor people can also get reservations at restaurants? Should everything in limited quantity be given away in a pure lottery?

I thought "Lunch Menu" and "Dinner Menu" were a way to reasonably implement precisely that.

On the other hand if it gets more granular... there may be no winning. Budget-conscious will feel they're being priced-out, and the fancy-rich will not go to a restaurant that nickle-and-dimes / seems desperate for every last cent.

Dumb question: why is this not allowed?

Presumably, Apple paid Amazon to reduce the number of ads.

What's so wrong about that?

All companies allow large enterprise customers (who drive high revenue), to have custom / tailored offerings based on their requests.
The form could refuse submission, like it does with overlong titles. But no, for some reason dang insists on this silent mangling.

There hasn't ever been even an attempt to explain why he chose this behavior, so we can only keep guessing.
Your point is still not clear
I think I am miswording the question — I don’t care about fixing the trends. My worry us to be prepared for the case if we can’t fix the problem. Basically “how we can prepare society to live with less younger population?”.
I'm not sure that makes sense. You now have to pay someone to maintain a reservations book and be available at any time to receive the phone call. Meanwhile, the reservation companies can just have ChatGPT make the phone call for you; do you think that restaurant employees can administer a Turing test or that ordinary customers could pass a Turing test?

Meanwhile, anyone that cares about this can still delegate it to a human. Call the Amex concierge, "can you get me into FooBar at around 7PM any night next week" and they take care of it. The phone adds no fairness; it opens up a way for middlemen to offer a service that you pay for but that the restaurant never sees.

While maybe a rare situation, software to handle reservations is a great idea. You instantly save one employee's worth of work for a tiny amount of money.

The other option is to only take walk-ins, but then you risk having empty tables when people are tired of waiting in line. I am sure many places have tried walk-in only, only to be disappointed about not making enough money. Restaurants like reservations.
Heaven forbid someone shares their sincere religious beliefs on their personal blog.

> 2) Desire to maintain accessibility on price point (same reasons artists don't charge more for tickets)

since when were there not different prices for tickets based on seating? if a concert is only one or two nights, then the nose bleed seats could be the same as eating at the restaurant on a Tuesday night, while the front row seats would be eating on Friday nights.
Git was winning already and GitHub just made doubly sure it did.

Git was winning before GitHub because it was fast. Like, everything else was dog slow in comparison. Yes, hg was slower, sometimes much slower.

Alternatives were also hard to set up compared to git init and git push over ssh. (Ye olde svn, I’m looking at you.)

People are really not afraid.
If it's true they colluded to remove ads from Apple pages on Amazon, both companies deserve what they get. Why do it sneakily? Why not have a page somewhere on Amazon that says "hey, if you want us to remove ads from your product listings, pay us [10x the total lifetime amount we expect to get in ad revenue from running ads on the page] per product page". Most companies wouldn't do it, so it wouldn't change Amazon's model much at all. Meanwhile, Apple could afford it trivially. While sleazy, it would be a completely legal offering that would never come back to bite them in the butt.

I think the difference is that Best Buy retail stores are not a marketplace, there are no third-party sellers in a Best Buy.
> You do know that you will continue living if you don't have kids, right?

This might supposed to be some snarky gotcha, but it's just dumb. I know with absolute certainty I won't continue to live, for every human dies eventually.

You could replace the "continue" with "temporarily", but it takes the bite out of it.

> I'm glad to hear you're not selfish, however you do seem inappropriately judgy.

People should judge. The 20th century experiment of non-judgementalness has been an abject failure. If one cannot analyze and determine what does and does not work (the act of judging), then one will continue to do things that don't work.

The "let's not reproduce" thing isn't working. And it's slightly disturbing that we had to run the experiment to foresee the results.

> What have you done to ensure "humans exist 200 years from now?" Have you done anything to minimize your carbon footprint?

Non sequitur nonsense.

One rhetorical about something that an individual can't actually do (though I've done my part), followed up with environmentalist propaganda that is commonly used to instill the proper behavioral sterility that you've spayed the zoomers with.

> What have you done to stop senseless wars?

If I could, why would I? Do you believe that they're serious extinction threats?

The Apple storefront. Lots of macbooks and watches to buy.

Oddly enough, the iPhone only shows up in searches as used/renewed items, not brand new. Is that an Amazon thing or an Apple thing?
> we also used PXE in production believe it or not

Wait why would this be a bad thing?
As someone who was recently laid off in the most non-empathetic way, I feel pretty strongly that these companies should have a lot of attention on them. If their strategy is to start doing more frequent so-called "micro"-layoffs to fly under the radar more, then it should get attention.

In my experience, layoffs are the most lazy but antagonistic way to treat those being laid off and the employees that remain. They are almost 100% due to either shareholder/investors wanting a quick cost savings and/or poor executive management and decisions. They don't have anything to do with the employees themselves, although the employees are the ones taking all the risk and receiving the consequences of others' actions.
> I believe the most spectacular event is going to be the Unix timestamp 2 000 000 000 which is still 9½ years away: 2033-05-18 03:33:20 UTC. Such an event occurs only once every 33 years 8 months approximately!

Egads! 33 years! I spent my late 90:ies mudding[0] and for some reason we had a lot of save files named by their epoch timestamp. When I ended up responsible for parts of the code base, I spent a lot of time dealing with those files, and they were all in the 800- or 900- million range. At some point I was pretty much able to tell at a glance roughly what date any number in that range corresponded to, within perhaps a few weeks.

Yeah, I clicked that link in the article and was surprised. I had never seen it before, but I guess I just assumed given how often-counterfeited anything Apple is, that it's something I'd never look for on Ali... em... Amazon. Meanwhile, ordering something from the Apple Store is super simple (since I have many nearby), and you know that the Apple Store isn't going to be selling counterfeit Apple products.

They absolutely are in lots of ways. Phones are too small to be convenient PCs, but there's not much left they can't do these days. If you look at the spectrum from phones, to phone-OS tablets (ipads or android tablets), to PC-OS tablets, to laptops, it's really not a solid line you can draw where things are dramatically different. The main difference is that the UX isn't designed to be good at being a PC.

If there were less investment in fossil fuel exploration, prices for fossil fuels could rise and airfare might be priced more appropriately. They would fly less because it cost more, or trains and boats might become more competitive.

Moaning about individual "cognitive dissonance" is absolute nonsense when talking about global scale problems that require policy solutions. The activists' intuitions are more correct than yours, I'd wager. Climate change is not an engineering problem.
Heating is perhaps unsurprisingly a large part of overall energy consumption in the Northern hemisphere.

Helsinki shut down one coal plant used for district heating this spring and is shutting down the last remaining one next spring, well ahead of schedule.

https://www.hel.fi/en/news/helen-phases-out-coal-more-than-f...

I personally am bullish on deep geothermal - there was a pilot project near Helsinki which was unfortunately unsuccessful, but with cheaper new drilling tech (plasma etc) I think this can work out in the future. https://www.st1.com/st1s-otaniemi-geothermal-pilot-projects-...

There are also some startups looking to build small modular nuclear reactors for district heating - https://www.steadyenergy.com/
The major tips I would add to this are:

0. ask it to ask you clarifying questions, which it rarely does by default when you're prompting it to do a task; often it has a few questions, which you can efficiently update your original prompt to cover.

1. make it generate a test-suite; have it iteratively generate new tests which don't overlap with the old ones.

2. ask GPT-4 explicitly to identify improvements, edge-cases and bugfixes, and then go through the list one by one having it rewrite for each one; not infrequently, a fancy rewrite will fail the test-suite from #1, but given the failing test-case, GPT-4 can fix it.

3. once it is clean and it's either done the list or you've disapproved the suggestions, and the test-suite is passing, ask it to write a summary design doc at the beginning.

With all this, you're set up for fairly maintainable code: with the test-suite and the up-front design doc, future LLMs can handle it natively and well, and humans should be able to read it easily after #2 has finished, so you don't need to care where it came from or try to track 'taint' through all future refactorings or usage - GPT-4 can write pretty readable human-like code, it just doesn't necessarily do it the best way the first time (also like a human), so you have to apply inner-monologue ideas.
I don't really have much beef with your comment as it has pretty substantive points, but I just wanted to remind and let everybody know about a Hacker News guideline outlined on their guidelines under the comments section. Sorry, I just recently re-read the guidelines, so I thought I might point others to it too. I honestly believe there are a lot more people breaking all these guidelines on this site, so the whole thing is a good read for anyone uninformed, and yes there are definitely more egregious breakages of guidelines elsewhere.

> Please don't comment on whether someone read an article. "Did you even read the article? It mentions that" can be shortened to "The article mentions that". [1]

I just mainly brought this one up, because I see it come up often, and because I didn't even notice it was really a violation until I reread the guidelines the other day.

While Pi software support isn't perfect (it's a little baffling to me that there is still so much that hasn't been upstreamed to mainline Linux in over a decade, but I digress), it's generally light years ahead of the random SBCs you see from... wherever (yes, many from China, but there are others too). Armbian support is a plus, and many of them do run Armbian, but community support when you run into issues is very hit-or-miss. And manufacturer support is pretty much nonexistent for most of these. Some of that may just be language barrier, but the end result is the same.

> Humans find can find a way too.

Yeah, humans find a way to mess up. Lots of things are in theory perfectly safe, and yet end up playing the lead role in a disaster. Deepwater Horizon and Fukushima were both caused by a corporation cutting costs on safety measures. That is the thing humans always find a way to do.
> See, and I see it quite differently. I don’t do other people’s job without being payed.

To add to this: in any of the stores that have self-checkouts I walk straight past the person tasked with "checking the receipt against your (now paid-for) goods" at the exit. (looking at you, Wal-Mart).

For years, these retailers have insisted "No we're not treating you like a criminal after spending a couple hundred dollars in our store, we're just making sure the cashier rang you out properly wink wink". Well, you don't get to fire your trained cashiers and expect me to subject myself to that any more.
> In most mammal populations there can be wild swings in total population without extinction. Humans, at least at this point could reduce the total population by multiple times and be just fine.

In all of those examples, the fertility rate remains constant. In every single one. When the moose all die off, it's not because they all decided that they enjoyed double income households with no offspring. Or that their parents kept nagging them for grandmoose.

It's "all the vegetation on the island was stripped" and they all starved but a few.

If their fertility rate dropped, we wouldn't see it swing back and forth. The only way they even survive is that the fertility rate doesn't drop.

This will become apparent even to the current naysayers... but not nearly soon enough.

They’re not defending the “known bad actor”. They’re criticizing the journalist for shoddy journalism.
When I am working mostly alone I never rebase or merge. I have code in various directories on my laptop or ephemeral ranches, or more likely stashes if I have more than one thing in flight. When working with others, I will pull a branch while I work on something especially once I am ready for reviews or comments. If main progresses substantially while I work on it, I will rebase and then close and reopen any pending PRs. Especially the first time I start working on a repo, when I want a low key low pressure approach. Once they take some of my work and seem ok with me in general, I will switch to more frequent branchless PRs.

Okay but what are some cringe examples you know?
I doubt that a hypothetical version of Rust that avoided monomorphization would compile any faster. I remember doing experiments to that effect in the early days and found that monomorphization wasn't really slower. That's because all the runtime bookkeeping necessary to operate on value types generically adds up to a ton of code that has to be optimized away, and it ends up a wash in the end. As a point of comparison, Swift does all this bookkeeping, and it's not appreciably faster to compile than Rust; Swift goes this route for ABI stability reasons, not for compiler performance.

What you would need to go faster would be not only a non-monomorphizing compiler but also boxed types. That would be a very different language, one higher-level than even Go (which monomorphizes generics).

Michelin stars mean that a restaurant has been vetted by presumed skilled experts.

This means that you're going to have on average a better experience, but that you'll pay more for the experience you get (since they're in more demand). Finding a restaurant of similar quality without the stars will take more digging, but will likely give you better value.
> Godel's incompleteness theorem say that a system of sufficient complexity can not be both complete and consistent

You've made an important and very common mistake of not qualifying this: it only holds true within the system. If you are using the same logical/mathematical system to evaluate its own completeness or consistency, then Godels results apply. Using other systems we can examine and understand the truth of sentences; which is to say, a systems completeness and consistency.

Wikipedia includes this constraint:

> For any such consistent formal system, there will always be statements about natural numbers that are true, but that are unprovable within the system.

Few programmers and other on the internet understand the significance, often making reasoning about it wrong.

> Practically, this means that there will never be a compiler that will tell you whether you program has a bug.

TLA+ and other "external" systems can evaluate whether a program has a bug.
The security issues also cause inconvenience, e.g. the later revisions of the nrf52 needing either a recover operation or updated firmware (the hack of flashing a default bootloader in recovery mode that disables security is...interesting).

That aside, Nordic still seems the best choice out there though quite a lot of features are leveraging the ARM ecosystem. RISC-V involvement is possibly toe in the water stuff/de-risking from ARM ("who owns them today?"). The recent big switch in SDK's (nrfSDK to Zephyr) wasn't teribly welcome, so the possiblility of another one is not welcome (if there was an approximately equal competitor with more stability we'd jump ship).
