> It is particularly pernicious among teens…

In my experience as a parent with two high-school-age kids, this is mostly a media-created narrative fueled by Google PR.

I've witnessed their many text chains, all of which are standards-based (green bubble) because some participants are Android users. When I asked about it explicitly their response was "that's not a thing" (at least in SoCal).

Note that I'm speaking in generalities. I have no doubt there are individual elite cliques where the alpha children demand that members have certain types of phones, wear certain types of clothing, ride certain models of ebikes, etc.
These are pain medications?
My 19 year old cat is on the feline equivalent, Solensia (Frunevetmab). It is a once a month injection that relieves his joint pain. We don't have to give him other pain relief and so can save the stress on his kidneys.

He isn't back to being a kitten, you should have appropriate expectations, but he wasn't able to jump on or off the couch before, now he can. He is walking around more than he used to, before he would spent most of the day in his box. The effect of getting him more exercise is compounding his good health.

If you have an older cat/dog you should definitely talk to your vet about it.
As another commenter pointed out,

> One plausible definition is “system deviates from its specification”

And that's quite reasonable. So I actually retract my argument.

For my own definition, I was considering a bug to be any behavior that the software engineers weren't expecting. Because those can exist invisibly for a long time until they become so bad they become visible. They can also exist for decades without causing any problems to functionality at all.
That's true but it's still driven by a spring and mainly mechanical. I understand people who don't like it, but I also see it as a reasonable tradeoff and find them just as fascinating as purely mechanical models. In the end people wear them for the same reasons.
That just sounds like OOP but without subclassing.

Given that this is wood, I'd worry about movement, but wouldn't this be better used in windows than in screens, where it would have far better insulating properties than glass? If that's the case, the "sustainability" goal is far easier to reach. Or did I miss something?
It doesn't matter. It doesn't make it any less true. I really wish politics didn't dominate everything lately.

> A lot of <activists|tiktok pranksters|politicians|others> pretend to be "journalists" these days, and claim to have special rights above and beyond the general population.

"Journalism" is an activity, like programming, not a protected class of people. No one who routinely does journalism thinks they have rights above and beyond ordinary people; the very fact that anyone can do journalism is what entails that any rights "journalists" have are rights that everyone should have.
It's just that the amount of "mildly annoying" annoyances starts to pile up. Yes, it can be closed, but what's the rationale behind offering a modal subscription popup if I haven't even read the article and don't even know who wrote it and what else he wrote?

Offer a decently sized, floating, pinned-to-top, non-blocking subscription banner, perfectly fine.
I love the idea of statically generated sites, I just want a nice to use CMS for authoring content that goes along well with the static site generator.

I'm using a SSG for my personal website, where it's no problem for me to manually write markdown files and run a command to build and deploy, but this will not work for sites I'm making for and/or with other non-technical people.

In those cases I'll have to set up some headless CMS, like Netlify CMS (now Decap), Strapi, Directus etc.
This means I have to additionally deploy the CMS somewhere (even Netlify CMS, now Decap requires an authentication backend), maybe manage some database – Then because content changes from the CMS need to trigger a site rebuild I need to set that up, use something like Netlify or Vercel or GitHub actions to build and deploy the site, trigger builds with webhooks or via git, or put together some build system myself, it's just a really annoying amount of complexity just to get a simple static site that people can contribute content to in an easy way.

My absolute dream would be an affordable (like managed Wordpress) CMS solution that allows content authoring for non-technical people with a nice UI but then also takes care of building a static site from a connected git repo on every content change and deploys it to some global CDN, similar to Netlify.
So I can build my website in Astro/11ty/Hugo/Jekyll or whatever static site generator technology I want but still make it easy to collaborate on content.
Netlify was really close to making this possible but unfortunately they didn't seem interested in maintaining / improving it, probably since it isn't really an "enterprise" kind of problem.

Not sure how old 'old Google' was. There was a bug in the Contacts web app where the states were out of order. They were ordered by 2 digit state ID but shown as state name. A simple order by mixup in SQL. This meant users in New York couldn't tab to the state and start typing the state name to get the state. It was a filed bug. Known by people within Google who wanted it fixed. It was finally fixed this year after nearly a decade.
The performance side is a bit overblown, in that of course performance strongly depends on access patterns and the access patterns strongly depend on what you're actually simulating. ECS can help with performance but it can also hurt: e.g. the devs of factorio, who have a very large simulation, based on their profiling, have found the game is almost entirely memory bandwidth limited, and so an ECS SoA system like is often touted would not work very well, as it's far better to run every system on each entity than it is to feed each entity through each system, and when inevitably different systems care about the same components, the first will almost certainly find the component data in the cache, while the latter almost certainly won't be and results in the same data being loaded from RAM multiple times.
Well no, otherwise they would just use sheets of resin.

In the details page about opening up the W24 batch again it states
"This is for founders that did not already apply for the W24 batch at some point in the past."[0]

Seems pretty explicit to me. I would recommend instead focusing on moving your startup along and so you're better positioned to apply in a subsequent batch.

Thanks for the tips! I'll definitely look into the MIT lectures on YouTube. Your thoughts on AI and project choice make sense, and I'll aim for a good balance. Appreciate the encouragement.
On the other hand the absolute majority here (and most in western culture) eat at least something with meat every 1/2 days, and that meat comes from animals that are as intelligent and/or cuddly as dogs.
Thepanel – open-source Mixpanel alternative
It's not news that people agree with vague statements that sound good on paper. When the specifics are explained to them, they change their minds.
The latency is not clear from the demo videos, but there's no reason why the device couldn't sync with the cloud in the background. It's probably fine if cloud syncing is not done in real-time, which leaves plenty of time to provide an instant response. I'm sure this is something the engineers thought about, considering they seem to know their target market well.
Fair enough. I considered a bug to be any behavior the engineers didn't plan in the code. They have their own specification, in their heads, that is more technical/exact than the business specification. Your definition is also reasonable but it's not what people mean when they say "there's no such thing as bug-free code", because bugs of my definition are almost unavoidable.

The way I see the current day situation, re: Elon Musk's freedom of speech contingency tree -- If X/Twitter and other social media prospers, it's good for him and he wins. If those die and people rediscover, "people creating their own space instead of living on closed platforms," he wins as well.

And since exponentation is logarithmic in the exponent, this algorithm is computing Fib(n) in O(log n) time. So while more compact than the matrix method or the field extension method or the doubling formula method, this reduces to the same complexity.

I'd venture to say that it is clear that we can't really do better than O(log n) just because the number of digits in Fib(n) is O(log n).
Thanks for the advice! I've decided on a Ph.D. and a master's. I'll follow your suggestion to create a complete app with documentation for a deeper understanding of code organization.
Looking at the other replies, interestingly the cat version is about NZ$100. Definitely priced to the market it is selling in.

That's interesting, the thing is. Both apps has the same content and layout, they are almost identical.

I assume from your username that you are from India, in which case I'd recommend you to start finishing all these courses/books before 11th strikes. If you plan to take A-Levels/IBDP you'll have at least some free time to work on projects.

However if you end up studying for NEET/JEE you'll have absolutely no time at all to do anything fun.

Also instead of doing many courses/tutorials try doing projects. Not your generic social media base or restaurant ordering service UI, something that interests you and you want to work on.

That said, CS50x is a great course that doesn't require an extemely large time investment.

Generative AI is off to a rough start
I would align with this philosophy as it relates to learning. Complexity is a likely a necessity of technological advancement, but a hinderance to 'from-scratch' learning. Abstractions hide many details that may not be needed to operate, but are needed to understand.

The entire retro-computing field is interesting and a bit surprising in it's strength. I would not have guessed that in 2023 an IMSAI 8080 would be selling for ~$3-5k, and that there would be such an active community of people doing things in CP/M. Nor would I guess that I would be working on either of these!

One of the most enjoyable personal projects that I have worked on was the creation and implementation of a CPU, starting with the concept ISA and building the microarchitecture, making lots of cool mistakes that require rework, and eventually having a booting CPU running code in an assembly language of my own. While the performance of a CPU like this is closer to the computational power of my coffee maker, it is still an excellent experience.

I ordered my copy of your book and am looking forward to reading it!
I recall a story where the camera kept "dying" from explosions but I can't find it.
I think this entire thread demonstrates why designers should not even be specifying text size. We should make better use of user-defined preferences, and browsers should make setting them up more prominent. Designers sitting in offices 3000 miles away from me should not be deciding how my browser renders text for me to look at.
I was going to ask about this. So these open models are uncensored and unconstrained?

> it's the epoxy resin it's been filled with that's tougher, right?

Your comment seems to suggest that the cellulose left after removing the lignin from the wood isn't playing any role. The wood really is playing an integral role.

It's the epoxy reinforced with the cellulose remaining after lignin removal that's tougher. Just a block of cured epoxy resin isn't going to be tougher than glass.

It's a similar case with "carbon fiber" items. If you just wrapped a pressure vessel with carbon fiber, it really wouldn't help much. It's the carbon fiber reinforced resin that's strong. That tennis racket wouldn't work very well with just carbon fiber or just epoxy resin.
There's USB on the upcoming version - and it's a Linux based device too :)
I'm the same. I had several Seiko 5 watches in the past and even modded one of them with a hacking mechanism. I would monitor the accuracy every week with a timegrapher app on the phone and try to make small adjustments.

Talking about annoying ...

I open a HN discussion about an article, and the first comment talks about popups, colours, fonts, cookies, ... and it triggers a long discussion. Same story again and again ...

My advice is to talk to YC about this.

As it is the simplest thing that might work.

Good luck.
Also, the power outages are a symptom of a disease afflicting the entire first world, not something NI specific. Politicians pushing policy that is forcing change faster than is economically wise to do so for politically fashionable reasons. It's the same exact crap here in Canada and it looks similar in many other first world spots.
Emacs undo-tree does everything I need. Emacs also supports undo in region which most editors don't seem to support and wasn't covered by the article.

I actually used regular Emacs undo for years which lets you get everywhere in the tree with a kind of tree traversal but you won't know where you are. I resisted undo-tree for ages but it's definitely worth it as it stays out of the way until the occasion you might need to use it.
The article is worth it for the quotes from "David Noble['s] 1997 book The Religion of Technology." I'll have to check that out, because everything quoted there rings very true.

Another good book in the same vein is Technopoly by Neil Postman: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technopoly.

> There’s ample evidence that neither Andreessen, nor Musk, nor any of the rest of them will be able to realize the futures they promise. Those visions only exist to keep us distracted from the real harms caused by their companies.

I agree that they won't be able to deliver on their promises, and those promises serve as a distraction. However I'm not so sure the distraction is a deliberate deception. I think it's quite possible the "Silicon Valley elite" are delusional ("high on their own supply") and engaging in a lot of self-serving self-deception. It's also possible their promises are knowing lies. The reality is probably some combination of the two.
I love vim but I actually find undo/redo to be one of the few annoyances of the program, because of the whole linear undo/redo thing. So I guess I need to look into this g+ option…

The absurd claim was always based on testimony from one single guy (Eli Beer), with nothing else.

Why were you so convinced it was real? Try and justify it however you like; it was always absurd, and there was never any actual evidence.

Thanks a bunch! Your support means a lot. I'll take a look at TensorFlow and Keras.
I think the reason OpenAI and Mistral go for this approach is that they are compute constrained when serving their API from the cloud. My guess is that they have servers with e.g. one A100 per “expert”, and then they load this up with concurrent independent requests until those A100s are all pretty busy.

EDIT: In a cloud environment with independent concurrent requests MoE also reduces VRAM requirements because you don’t need to keep as many activations in memory.
I assure you that there's no replication crisis in archaeology. Why? Because almost nothing in archaeology uses replication. You can't excavate the same sections twice, you can't test the same samples twice, and you can't replicate the same historical events to test theories of formation processes.

Archaeology is a historical science like evolutionary biology and geology.
I'd reckon that user/reader comfort is less than 50% of the site's purpose nowadays. Considering author content is future training data for an AI, meaning it's more likely more monetizable than users (especially a hackernews user). IE: make money from readers, be comfortable for writers, collect data to be future monetizable for AI training.
The problem with this widespread belief is that there is no such thing as a "pit bull". Or rather, there are many and some of the breeds are entirely unrelated. Likewise news stories are usually thin on the specifics and fail to identify exact breeds or may mislabel them entirely.

Generally most people shouldn't have dogs because they lack the time and energy to properly train them (or in the case of adult dogs: to compensate for their lack of training). But you're right that there are some dog breeds that are more prone to biting accidents than others: but if you go by the actual numbers your advice should also explicitly apply to German shepherds.

> Do we really need to be using up government resources doing drug approvals for dogs? It takes so long to get human drugs approved. Let's use the resources there and let the market sort out what works for animals.

Let’s leave aside the fact that humans value companion animals such that they might want to spend government resources on keeping them healthy for longer. And also the fact that certain other animals are important food sources which make up a sizable chunk of the economy.

Do you think that if the government no longer had to spend resources on animal drugs that all of those resources would stay at the FDA and be diverted to human drugs?

The cynic in me thinks that the speed of the process is the independent variable here. And that resources will be added or subtracted to maintain roughly that same speed and/or rigor.
> high quality, 95+% meat food (dry and wet, the cat picks whenever she’s hungry)

I think this right here is the smartest thing you can do. Cats are obligate carnivores, and some of the crap in the stores is just fillers they crap out anyway. Same with dog food - they design it to make poop more solid and easier to deal with.

There is food of the ethnic Chinese in America, and food from China.

Those are overlapping, but different, categories, and “Chinese food”, without additional qualifications, in the US usually refers to the former (and/or food of Chinese-themed restaurants in the US catering to general American tastes, with some inspiration from from it), without regard for whether or not it is also the latter.

(This is true of “<ethnicity> food” in the US generally, its not specific to Chinese food.)
