LLMs are cool and will continue to change society in ways we cannot readily predict, but they are not quite that cool. GPT3 has been around for a little bit now and the world has not ended or encountered a singularity. The models are expensive to run both in compute and expertise. They produce a lot of garbage.

I see the threat right now to low-paid writing gigs. I’m sure there’s a whole stratum of those they have wiped out, but I also know real live humans still doing that kind of work.

What developers may use in five years is a better version of Copilot trained on existing code bases. They will let developers do more in the time they have, not replace them. Open source software has not put us all out of jobs. I foresee the waning of Big Tech for other reasons.

The meat of the P/Invoke code is in here: https://github.com/electroly/sqlnotebook/tree/master/src/Sql...

The parent directory includes code that uses it. I'm most proud of this SQLite virtual table module that proxies queries to remote ADO.NET connections, allowing you to write joins directly between local SQLite tables and remote SQL Server tables. https://github.com/electroly/sqlnotebook/blob/master/src/Sql...

This is exposed to the user as a "LINK" option on the "IMPORT DATABASE" statement: https://sqlnotebook.com/import-database-stmt.html

I've also got a generic virtual table module that lets me easily write table-valued functions in C#: https://github.com/electroly/sqlnotebook/blob/master/src/Sql...

I don't have too many table-valued functions yet but one example is the "LIST_XLS_WORKSHEETS" function: https://sqlnotebook.com/list-xls-worksheets-func.html

I have my own implementation of SQLite's grammar so I can embed it inside my larger grammar which adds things like DECLARE, IF, and WHILE: https://github.com/electroly/sqlnotebook/blob/master/src/Sql...

The goal is to provide various "supercharged" features to base SQLite by taking advantage of all the extension points I can. I wish some went further; in particular the virtual table API doesn't "push down" enough of the original query to allow the module to avoid doing N+1 queries in some cases.

Always happy to see people using SQLite in unique ways!
Having worked a lot on the shipper side, it's possible that the package hasn't been picked up by the carrier yet. I've seen tracking numbers issued "client-side" that get re-issued or invalidated after pickup as well.
It was a complete and utter failure. Dense housing produces slums. Everybody in my old country is trying to get a house away from cities.
Graphical fidelity isn't the problem today already. You have Epic Megascans, online asset libraries where you can buy crazy high quality models for dirt cheap and whatnot. However, the new visually high quality games that come out (and have a download size of 20+ GB for a top down game) don't necessarily do well despite a marketing budget. In contrast, games with very little budget but a unique (and sometimes crappy) artstyle and compelling gameplay loop can do crazy well if they scratch an itch and/or are good at talking to the press. I mean, look at Brotatos artstyle... just... look at it.
In a low inventory market, make it a requirement to occupy a unit X days per year so that speculators cannot just come in, snap up real estate, and sit on it or extort the people who actually live there. People may shout "Communism" but the reality is that housing is becoming a winner-take-all vs. have nots dividing line that is further repressing the economic mobility of regular people. Free up the inventory to people who actually need to use it.
Good thing they don’t claim to be accurate and actively inform customers that the products generate falsehoods.

I’ve been watching this story for a year+, and I fully agree with the outrage, but I haven’t heard of any startups that went under because of this. I wonder if everyone is just blowing it off or classifying those expenses as something other than R&D and just hoping they can defend in the case of an audit? Where are all the horror stories from the effects of this law?
They are sold in England with the French name baton:

It’s possible this is derived from an actual French name for this kind of short baguette, but it might also just be that someone thought it sounded French-ish, and that French people use no such word.

They are usually made to order from tubs of mayonnaise based fillings and pre-chopped salad. Here’s a closeup of one in its natural habitat:

Architect here: I work in Azure; I love Azure; I totes feel your pain about Azure. Half of my solutions are hopscotching networks and NICs between services that should all just be one service. There are no obvious or repeatable patterns or configurations; every answer is "the right answer", which as an architect drives me up the f*king wall.

I know MSFT likes to sell that as "complete and flexible configuration" but more often than not it's like: if your prescription to use this one service is so rigid as to use these four other services in such a way then when not just package them completely as such?
There’s a room on the left and another on the right
The service is already shut down, except to let you export.
That is a separate state in both of these systems, though. My complaint is that a perfectly valid tracking number isn't immediately in the "awaiting pickup" state after being generated by their systems, and is instead in the scary limbo state of "I dunno, that might be an invalid tracking number".
Infra engineering is the most important, hardest engineering practice in the company. I'm not one, and the people who want to do this are. So leave a lot of space here for me just being wrong.

I've had a bit of experience implementing IGP-style routing --- both as a "user" (a Cisco network engineer doing multi-area OSPF) and a developer (of a custom link-state IGP) --- and it left me pretty terrified of the failure modes here, which feel pretty similar to those of Raft/Paxos consensus, or of the SWIM Gossip consensus we do in our Consul replacement, Corrosion, which has its own challenges. If there are "innovation tokens", there are also "distributed consensus" tokens, and my basic take is I don't think we should spend them for such a marginal feature.

Here I am litigating an internal company discussion on HN (this is simultaneously bad, and an exercise in us just being an open book). I remind you of the initial paragraph here, which lays out plainly that the people in our company who disagree with me are smarter than me.

I'm not going to go to some crack dealer to get a medication that requires refrigeration. This is a systemic problem.

Also, semaglutide will be soon available in pill form. Semaglutide and metformin are the most revolutionary medications to prevent the most common and expensive diseases and improve life quality. One issue is that there is also a lack of longitudinal, evidence-based prophylaxis policy even in Medicare (the budget, third-rate health insurance for disabled and poor people) that waits until someone has suffered irreparable harm to then intervene with expensive care reactively. America is all about waiting until people are in the ER to do anything, and then drive them into bankruptcy while they're dying. I wonder how many people outside of Americans have met people with terminal cancer in the midst of bankruptcy proceedings with the hospitals pounding at the door to take everything they have while they're dying.

> I will not answer any questions without a lawyer present.

I'm curious. How do people get a lawyer, if they aren't exactly prepared for being questioned, but just somehow unexpectedly found themselves in some weird situation?

Somehow, I doubt most common folks already have an established lawyer (especially not knowing what sort of situation they may get into - as I get it, different lawyers specialize on different matters) and remember their phone number (OP reminds me that one probably doesn't want to unlock any phone). Or I'm wrong? What's the general approach here?
This looks really useful. I look forward to test driving it.

Just from the Readme, I have one question. It looks like it's necessary to register a hook to start serve the router. Is there a use case for _not_ registering that hook?

>> I BELIEVE that the Romans calculated with the abacus

Makes sense because it's quite impossible to use those numerals directly. Fibonacci and the modern decimal numeral system came much, much later.

The emphasis is on "I believe". I would expect some documents which attest that but maybe no such luck. Like "posca", maybe it was considered too common sense to be worth written down.

On the other hand what amazes me is the thought that the entire WW2 was fought flying planes that were designed and built without the slightest trace of electronic calculator coming in aid. There's integrals and derivatives and transcendental functions, how the heck did they manage to do that with pen and paper?

I know they had tables of logarithms and trigonometric functions and some mechanical calculators but come on.
Hey don’t knock it until you’ve tried Apple’s equivalent (wireless CarPlay) which has a 3 second buffer since they decided to use Wi-Fi for audio. Imagine if every time you play or pause or change tracks you have to count to three in your head before it responds.

Yes, I’m bitter. Somehow the video and touch are lag-free 1 but the audio is on a delay. I’d love to have regular Bluetooth audio be used.

A small detail, though, the target device has to accept the connection. Once someone lets you in his house, you can steal his silver, yes.
Sure, where possible. There are places that cannot build anymore because there is something everywhere. This describes most of NYC.

The issue is that places where there is limited inventory and an inability to create more inventory cannot afford to let any units to go to Airbnb or to speculators.
If you build more housing in NY and rent goes down, more people will move to NY because they can now afford it and push rents back up.

London is also very expensive to rent and it's not rent controlled.
yeah that's true.

edit: But like being clear the tax only applied for things that were vacant long term, so like, it was quite possible for apartments to be vacant for "a while" between tenancies and of course there were a number of exemptions as well.

So even within the context of this vacancy tax there was a lot of leverage for there to exist vacant apartments.

The intent was effectively to kill off pied-a-terres and permanent vacant apartments.

> The 3-step plan you just outlined

Speak for yourself.

> (1)...

Holy shit your fevered imagination came up with a bad plan. But they are your words, not mine. Your plan, not mine. You should reflect on that. There's nothing insurmountable about the fights I'm picking and that's the entire point.

> Picking fights is actually a political tactic for preserving the status quo

> If you don't like the status quo you should avoid taking adversarial stances

Oh, tell me about your plan for winning without picking a fight. I'll wait.

Fights are inherent to good political strategy, it's quite silly to suggest otherwise. Politics when people agree isn't politics, it's administration.

Strategy is about picking the correct fights or inducing your opponent to pick the wrong fights. Georgism and socialism and other causes that strike at the heart of the ownership issue are the wrong fights because the opposition is too entrenched. You will lose. If you win it will be by destroying the country, but realistically speaking, you will lose. If I wanted to be politically ineffective, I might join you in your cause, because in principle we agree, but I don't want to be ineffective.

Instead, I will continue to go after the tax and zoning laws. There is a lot of good to be done on that front. It's messy, dirty, non-utopian, and has no use for someone afraid of a fight -- but these are fights that can be won and that makes them infinitely better fights to pick.

Not inevitable, just the default and probably(?) the majority, in both the landlord case and the employer case.

> There isn't even a clear line where someone switches from labor into management, and your sarcasm left out the divide between management and ownership/capital.

I mean labor vs management in the union/labor-relations sense of the words, where the management is representing the interests of the owners.

> Should early employees overlook small offenses committed by founders? With the emphasis on the caveat "small", absolutely yes. What matters more, true in general but especially in early stages, is trust.

In the early stages of a company, I might be inclined to overlook things if I had equity, as is common in the industry. And there's a reason for that: my labor is creating profit partly for my own gain — so I'm not being exploited.

If a small-time landlords want their tenants to overlook issues that they can't reasonably fix, maybe they should be offering their tenants equity ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

What I always wanted to see was something with an "old Blackberry" style side-mounted scroll-wheel, for eyes-off operation.

Superficial simplicity here could be thought of as worse outcomes with fewer abstractions. Succeeding at fewer does not guarantee better outcomes.

Which brings us to the main source of disagreement. Define worse.

> It takes a little digging that most people don't bother to realize the population of Gaza has continued to grow exponentially [1] which is basically the opposite of genocide.

This is a very common and unfortunately completely irrelevant point that the far-right mentions when somebody brings up the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza, and does not show any "depth of understanding". By no internationally recognized definition of genocide is general population size considered. Something can be considered genocide even if the population grows in the end.

You portray a extremely obvious pro-Israel bias in this topic while thinking that you have a more nuanced opinion than others. Please stop misleading others.
