I like the concept in theory, but I don't think's workable in the real world, because for the tricky edge cases (which are exactly why you'd want a code of ethics to begin with), nobody agrees on what is and is not ethical.

Is working for a defense contractor to build smart bombs and killer drones unethical? A bunch of people think so, but there are also a bunch of people who think we need these things to defend ourselves and come to the aid of e.g. Ukraine. The same goes for facial recognition (does it destroy privacy or help catch criminals and bring them to justice?), cryptocurrency (does it enable crime and uselessly waste heaps of power or help people subvert government tyranny?), high-frequency trading (does it enrich Wall Street by picking the pockets of individual traders or provide liquidity to the market?), ad tracking (is it an invasion of privacy or is it enabling people to get useful services for free?), and so on for almost any application you can name which might theoretically be prevented by a code of ethics.

Ethics are way too individual for this approach to be at all useful. A professional code of ethics either has to be so vague that anyone can interpret it however they want, or so specific that half the people who would be covered will disagree and ignore it.
That's the cool thing about deconstruction: there isn't even such a thing as an artist!

> One thing that always bugged me was the lack of "strict" mode (see perl)

What Perl has as "strict" mode, Python just has by default all the time. The typing is dynamic but strong, it will complain about unbound variables instead of silently creating them, scoping, while not ideal, is sane out of the box.

What Python doesn't have is taint mode, but that is quirky and fragile as hell in Perl as well, and more of a nuisance nowadays than an actual aid.

the abstract (interesting, but the claims made are modest):

Almond is a high-market value crop that benefits from honeybee pollination services, even for self-compatible varieties. Besides, it has been recently shown that the offering of food scented with floral mimic odors specific to different crops biased honeybee foraging preferences towards sunflowers, pear, or apple trees. Herein, we analyzed the floral volatiles of two almond self-compatible varieties to propose potential mimic odors. The mixture which bees discriminated the least from the natural floral scent in olfactory conditioning assays was chosen as almond mimic (AM). In the field, colonies fed AM-scented sucrose solution increased their foraging activity and amounts of stored pollen compared with colonies fed unscented food. Our results support the conditioning of honeybees to a floral mimic odor as a potential tool to bias their foraging preferences in almond, even applicable to self-compatible varieties. Future studies should address its effect on yield.

Well, "had used it for centuries..."
Let's use keyboards to explain since the HN crowd tends to be much more familiar with those.

Regular cars are like regular rubber dome Logitech keyboards, EVs are like smartphone on-screen keyboards. Does a mechanical keyboard actually allow better typing than those keyboards? Probably yes, but very marginally to the point where it really doesn't matter.

But why do people get mechanical keyboards anyway often at 4x+ the cost? The mechanical switches have better tactile feedback. The materials of the keycaps and body are often better. There's significantly more customization and personalization options available.

That's sorta the same way with Porsche. You could get a mass market Corvette or Tesla that performs just as well for track times or transport for cheaper, but the Porsche will have better feedback (steering, pedals, shifter, chassis) and better customization options.

The Sport Classic would be like a limited edition collectable mechanical keyboard. Pretty pointless for someone who just needs a keyboard, but if you collect keyboards, it'd be a very special keyboard that very few others would have. Like a typewriter with usb-c.
Type hints aren't useless - you can type check your code before you run it (and they make your code more readable).

> What I would love is a mode in python where instead of duck typing everything, its statically typed, unless I do a magical incantation.

You can do this with mypy, you can set it to require types everywhere.
> If LLM development can't continue without violating copyright then that makes it clear that the purpose of LLM development is violation of copyright.

This is a very extreme view. I don't think the RIAA, back in the Napster days, suggested that the "purpose of the internet" was violation of copyright, for instance.
I don’t, it was a while ago and we just use js now for that sorta stuff even if it’s only for toggling aria attributes.
The thoughts expressed in this post are filled with cognitive dissonance. The author should spend some time reconciling them - it would be very interesting to read an updated version of this post after the fact.
No them, but my favorite is Scala. It can look as clean as Python, especially with Scala 3 which makes braces optional.

But then I have the type system, which saves my ass every day. Maybe I am just an old dog who can't memorize complex code bases like in my youth. The good thing is that I no longer need to do that.
Fission is expensive - there is unlikely to be a world where everything is nuclear. There might be more of it, but the price point might not be great.

Storage has lots of options, for example, batteries, pressure, gravity (incl. underground).

Things like shipping could run perhaps on other fuels and planes will be on high energy density fossil fuel (or synthetic) for a while (at least long haul).
Credit card are very long-lived entities (and part of your credit rating depends on how old your oldest account is - so once you get a decent no-fee card basically never close that one). But sometimes fickle.

So I'd say you need more than one (decent one) and you can afford to spend much more than one hour on thinking about it. Just based on rebate rates and lower cognitive load later.

The proof of the pudding is in the tasting. I can't find any evidence online that anyone has ever used Rust in software where its correctness needs to be certified, and audited with something like DO-178C. I think that settles the debate. Maybe Rust could be as safe as Ada, once the Rust type system has been proven, and there's a verified compiler. Those things haven't happened yet though, so it's not likely to be used in a safety-critical environment anytime soon. Ada has been used in this area for decades.
Yeah, embedding are where it's at for text. Most problems are really about clustering or classification, when you like, get down to it, man. Semantic similarity is one hell of a drug.
Zany thought! I’m deeply offended you weren’t immediately convinced by my single piece of anecdotal data ;)
This is what a lot of anti-piracy outfits do not understand. There is content I as an Indian can either not access because it is geographically limited or because it is just not within my means. Granted, lately the second problem has vanished.

If I hadn't pirated games as a kid, I would not have bought my PS5 or my Nintendo Switch or the Steam Deck. My Steam account has, like everyone else's, a few hundred games now and it's also full of games I once pirated. Funnily enough I haven't played them after purchasing them. But I bought these so I can install them easily. I'm still mad that I cannot find a legal copy of TMNT Out of the Shadows so I have to resort to using piracy for it but that doesn't work on the deck and I need to maintain a Windows PC if I want to play it.

I recently cancelled my Netflix Subscription and bought 6 8TB drives to build a NAS. I haven't gotten around to it yet but I've been downloading a couple of shows I've watched previously and miss, some of which can't be found on OTT in India.

If in 2023 you are telling me I cannot watch something because I am in India or because the production company simply didn't put it on a streaming platform, that gives me impetus to pirate it.

And if you have a show but without either certain episodes for the sake of censorship or if you're missing entire seasons even though it's been a year or more, that is definitely grounds for piracy.

It's even worse with manga and comics. I cannot legally gain access to some manga because they're not sold here and because I can't find them online. Tachiyomi exists and I love it.

Don't even get me started on how ebooks are fleecing us all. I switched to a Boox from a Kindle and I love my decision.

I refurbish a whole lot of ewaste as part of my job, and with a few exceptions any time a device fails it's either the electrolytics in the power supply or something mechanical.

Solid state electronics technically _can_ fail but their expected service life is an order of magnitude more than the mechanical stuff. Same with properly done solder joints. If they crack, it's either due to mechanical stresses (e.g. constant reinsertion on battery jacks) or it's a design fault (Xbox 360, PS3 cold solder).

Good question! Getting Started is where I put the information someone needs to know to get started. This is based on two things:

1. The minimum amount of information someone needs to use a project. In this case, that is the "what is", and showing how to run fine-tuned models.
2. Generally useful information that someone can use to evaluate / understand the project. In this case, supported devices.

A reader could skip these if they know for what they are looking, but if someone is new to the project a Getting Started section equips them with what they need.

For Python packages generally, I like to include an abridged version of functionality in a quickstart / Getting Started section. Then, usage examples can have either their own page, or examples with example outputs that are in the code and are propagated up through automated docs. [1] [2]

For small packages, I usually fit all of it in a README; having a strong quickstart, in all cases, is essential. [3]

This appears to be deeply misguided. There is no possibility that this was written by someone who has any experience in professional ethics issues.

In many cases, this code of ethics is unethical, such as elevating "public good" as the "primary" concern.

Why are hybrids more reliable, really? Because there's more tech in gas cars?

I think the evolutionary explanation for child free people is that evolution gave us a sex drive, and for a long time that substituted for a "have children" drive.

Then we invented contraceptives and the sex-children connection broke.

I expect this has created strong selection pressure going forward for people with a drive to have kids, instead of just a drive to have sex.

There was an article on HN yesterday about the Carmalite monks in Wyoming building a Gothic monastery[1].

Looking at the work they've completed so far, I can't tell the difference between their work hand carved stone.

In over 4 decades on earth, I haven't come across this sentiment before, but now that I'm considering it, I kind of agree.

Indeed. Child-free people are either an evolutionary dead-end, or we perhaps compensate for this with some form of artifice as well.
Well we did need quite substantial subsidies to get there so that part wasn’t wrong. And heat pumps are orthogonal to this. Like the stuff that’s happening now with heat pumps is exciting and I hope the ideas pan out but that feels orthogonal. I’m sure getting below parity was the primary concern but that was just the first one with storage being an even bigger second hurdle that hasn’t been cleared and we don’t know if we can clear. Like making enough batteries to sustain EV manufacturing & replace all existing vehicles is already a challenge. I’m sure we can muster it but grid-scale storage is an order magnitude larger problem than that. Renewables have all these order of magnitude technical scaling problems that nuclear doesn’t seem to have. The biggest technical scaling problem for nuclear is building a reactor that physically can’t melt down. We’ve been doing research on that with threadbare funding for a long time. If we meaningfully invested in it we could do it. Hell, China is targetting to build a production 370 MW molten salt reactors by 2030. Nuclear is really where we should be investing R&D dollars at government scale because that resolves self-imposed regulatory hurdles. Private investments seem to be generally sufficient for solar and wind.
That's a very easy way to burn out.
I don't have a stake in the broader fight, but note that severe fires often leave extra fuel in their wake. (It is a surprising fact, to me at least.) This is because 1) live tree trunks don't burn in severe fires, they leave behind dead trunks (which do burn next time) and 2) the ground cover that comes up will be more massive than the ground cover that used to be there.

> Here is what has changed: we no longer trust developers as much and we are re-introducing the complexity that we were fighting.

What I think has changed instead: Python is used for large code bases, unlike 15 years ago, and without type annotations it is an unreadable mess.
I enjoy writing statically type-checked Python (previously with Mypy, now Pyright) but it's always in my mind that in absolute terms this is an absurd situation that the language has worked itself into. Namely that all the effort you put into writing well-typed code, while beneficial for correctness thanks to said sidecar dev tooling, is thrown out the window and not used for optimisation by CPython.

As if someone with deep regret won't repress those feelings and be actually genuine for those BS "studies".
Most people just want to read info, enter their data, get feedback and go on with their day. They don't care about smooth transitions, spa, etc. The only thing they care about is if it works correctly and their expectations are met.

There are applications where all the unnecessary abstractions might make sense but those are the exception not the rule.
Now in my late 30s, I have spent the past 5 years cornering childless elders and asking them about their decision to not have children. Despite my skepticism, I still haven't found one who didn't convince they are happy with their decision. However, they still have not convinced me to not want children myself.
It's never worked well for me. Lots of results just flatout don't/won't work, not even in a nuanced way.
Precisely. The study looks to be a cross-sectional (snapshot) representation of a population. A more interesting study would be a longitudinal study to understand how an observer's opinions change on the matter over time. Those are unfortunately more expensive.
Gotcha.. this makes sense. I was hung up on what they even meant by a website belonging to a particular country (as if we're all patriotically running sites on local servers or something).
Without kids, they are far more likely to have the wealth to retire comfortably.
Even if some are without psychological regret, biologically speaking it doesn’t make any sense to be child-free. If everyone did this there’d be no species left. It causes you to be “unfit” in a Darwinian sense.

People might not care, but purely biologically it’s actually more healthy to be 400 pounds, smoke cigarettes, and die from a heart attack after having a few kids than be in good shape and eventually die with no kids.
Ada has inbuilt features allowing you to restrict yourself to a safe subset of the language for real-time computing.[0] It can be argued that this is not "normal" Ada since you are restricting the use of the entire language, but the restriction profile itself is a feature of the language.
