My standard for tech debt:

- Unnecessary (too many or too heavy) dependencies that can be replaced by DIY code, or at least, smaller dependencies.

- Implementations that stray from the standard set by the rest of the code in the project or actual guidelines written by a project leader (e.g., we don't use jsdoc anywhere but a developer randomly crams it in during a copypasta).

- Over-complicated implementations that serve as an ego-pleasing flex for the author, but are impossible for even an experienced developer to reason through.

- Implementations that were done to service a single customer in pursuit of short-term revenue, or, that were rushed through due to manager/stakeholder panic and inevitably collide with one of the above.

Keep those three in check and you'll have limited issues.

Edit: a good talk by Oliver Reichenstein (of iA Writer fame) that helped me years ago https://vimeo.com/102343006 -- it's from a design perspective but has parallels to development. One quote of his that constantly pings in my head: "slow the fuck down."
> Unlike Promises and async/await, Effection is fundamentally synchronous in nature

My understanding is that async/await is fundamentally synchronous. Your JS code runs on a single thread, as far as you're aware, unless you use workers (browser) or child processes (node).

I don't think I've ever seen a situation where that is not the case. Is there a place where the use of promises is actually concurrent?

Other than that, it's a nice library, but I wouldn't go for it myself. I'd rather see improvements to await/async than trying to patch around it with a different API. I've seen a few libs over the years using generators to simulate await and in every case you go back later and get confused by what is going on.
You could consider installing them in separate btrfs subvolumes :-)
You can look at it either way. "Phase" literally means the offset of the waveforms. With 3-phase, each of the phases is 120° out of sync. With split phase, you can look at it as a single, 240V phase with neutral in the middle, allowing it to be split into two 120V halves. Or you could look at it as two 120V phases, 180° out of sync, such that the difference between them is therefore 240V.
I wonder if journnalists used to actually do research

Yes but...what is the shape of those messages?

It's a free country: people are free to choose to use autonomous cars over ebikes and buses and why wouldn't they? The emissions profile of a personal electric car being unaffordable[0] doesn't pass the sniff test.

Well, John McMaster was able to do some IR imaging of a chip: https://hackaday.com/2019/06/20/seeing-transistors-switch-in...
But in this case, I think it's easier to squint at the die to distinguish the features by subtle differences in color. It's possible to tell them apart, but I wasted a lot of time before realizing "Oh, that's a transistor‽"
There's a bunch of stuff alleged there, but I'm still not clear on what you think the "problem" is?

As this piece about the dismissal of the first case notes: https://nationaljeweler.com/articles/10782-former-employees-...

"[...] it is not illegal to violate Rolex policies or to sell watches on the gray market."

The other allegations (immigration fraud, income tax evasion, etc.) don't seem to be especially related to the market price of watches.

If the market value of watches is actually much higher than what they go for at retail, the "problem" of lack of availability is effectively being caused by watchmakers a) making too few watches and/or b) not setting the retail price of their watches high enough.
Store Managers at retail chains are not buying locked cabinets for their stores. That decision is being made for them.
Never played Elite, but I got to see Dave Braben do a post-mortem of the development of it at GDC many years ago. It was super interesting hearing about some of the optimisations they were doing to make it work.

Toshiba's Flash memory division had been fine even under Toshiba and as Kioxia too. Why Toshiba sold it is because they need money, to fill nuclear division's loss. Rather, they are now in danger due to current Flash memory market situation.
Best part is they work without needing a CPU intensive algorithm guessing what part of the signal is noise and introducing lag.
The House at 56°00'00.0"N 10°00'00.0"E was once shot at by criminals who thought it to be their target.
Sounds more like scope creep (due to "Right Way") rather than arguing about details.
Essentially the same thought here, as I always thought of it as the "actually rich" versus the "nouveau riche."
Wow, I didn't know that. I hope the store managers/owners remember to not only calculate increased profits of extra purchases of their store brands, but also lost customers in the long run because their shops are so annoying to use.

It seems like a "piss in your pants to keep yourself warm"-strategy.
The article summarizes how LAION was assembled:

> This dataset was built by taking a snapshot of the Common Crawl repository, downloading images referenced in the HTML, reading the “alt” attributes of the images and using CLIP interrogation to discard images that did not sufficiently match the captions.

In other words, it was based a random subset of the entire public Internet and there was no human in the loop -- and it's not clear how there could ever be, at the scale this project was operating. (LAION-5B contains 5.8B images.) If anything, it's surprising that the Stanford researchers only found a few thousand CSAM images in the data set.
Reminds me of Topgolf. It's fun to see the occasionally considerable difference between the motion trackers and hole sensors. You'd see the ball stranding on the field, but then the hole would light up and you'd get the points.
I'm aware that we should steelman other viewpoints here on hn, but I have difficulty finding a non-racist interpretation of "shoplifters steal all kinds of stuff but not sunscreen" (Maybe if you think most thieves are goths, but that's a bit of an extreme stretch). Could you maybe clarify?
FWIW I don't know about the statistics, but it is true that Eastern Orthodoxy does have notions like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symphonia_(theology) that are especially conductive to authoritarianism and its associated ills (including unchecked corruption by local authorities).

Yes, it is a massive conspiracy to detract from…checks notes… recent losses from online retailers. Yeah, that’s it.
We'll do our best to consistently report it since this can indeed influence the financial decisions of developers, especially if they go through third-party paying LLM APIs. In our early experiments, we've seen about 200-250 tokens per request (~= autocompletion), of which about 40-50 tokens are generated.

Two things we're doing this:

- right now our API response contains more than what's required for autocompletion, so there is room for improvement there. And since we focus on team alignment, the goal is to boost the suggestion acceptance rate compared to alternatives. So in the end, fewer calls and lower token consumption.

- since we're working on fully migrating to hostable OSS models of reasonable size, the financial aspect of token consumption should be mostly moved out of the picture to focus on latency.
Idk, if you decide you want a mechanical dive watch, just by the stats, a Sub Date is under 13mm thick, +2/-2 accuracy, made of hard materials, ceramic, sapphire, and steel alloy (no coating so it can be polished), price after purchase is only going to go up.

I don’t own a Rolex, don’t want to spend that much, invite the crime, or care about the status, but I really would like for Seiko (or another value brand) to step up and offer something comparable.
Sort of. The way i'm thinkjng about it is that you do write the tests and the final output would resemble what you woukd get with TDD, it's just that you put a little more thought into the structure of your software before starting to write the tests

So I have struggled with this when building services that need to store a user's data or manage a user identity. I'd prefer to not collect an email address. For me it comes down to whether or not I need to support features that most users expect like resetting an account password or notifying the user about some event.
Because iCloud Keychain sync is how each person can have one key for others to verify, rather than a separate key for every device they are logged into iMessage with.

It’s described in more detail here:

(This is end-to-end encrypted, by the way; Apple can’t get at people’s private keys.)

And this is a new protocol, so no surprise it doesn’t work with older operating systems. (It doesn’t say you have to remove your Apple ID completely, just log out of iMessage.)
Yeah. To me it's about not being a zealot about it. If I can get 80% of the value with 20% of the effortby tweaking it I think that makes sense.

To summarize --

They found a correlation between a protein (ENPP1) and breast cancer metastasis that they feel is a very strong signaler for pembrolizumab immunotherapy resistance. This would be helpful information to help get to the right dosage of medicine faster (or skip a class of drugs entirely), which might save weeks or months of taking a drug that effectively is neutralized by the resistance.

Additionally, hopefully new medicine will (after more research) go after this protein and see if attacking it allows the immune system to better resist cancer itself.

It's also worth noting that two of the researchers involved in this work own a company to try to utilize patents around this work.
I'm almost embarrassed about the number of times I've rebuilt my blog [1] over the past few years, especially given how infrequently I actually write anything.

A non-exhaustive list includes the following SSGs:

- Eleventy

- Gatsby

- Hugo (three times)

- Jigsaw

- Lume

- Next.js

I finally settled on Astro. I don't know whether it qualifies as hot stuff, but I'm happy with it.

right, its things people of color are stealing or fencing for people of color, and its still a lame user experience to be inconvenienced by a corporate response in that specific way

its obviously just a stop gap solution to exiting the market entirely since these stores no longer operate in a market based economy where property rights are enforced, so just close up instead of operating a crippled store hanging on by a thread, inconveniencing random swaths of their remaining customers just because an excel spreadsheet said so

I recommend watching a video[1] about how these things work. I really don't see how it's feasible to make this complex, heavy machine inherently safe to stick your arms in. And keep in mind these machines have been iterated on for 100 years or more by multiple companies. Modern ones are full of safety features, but they revolve around lockouts, not making everything so weak it can't hurt you.

yes I think the way we use the word "bug" generally means that it's a bug from a human being's point of view. But automated tests are automated, maybe what they catch shouldn't even be called bugs but just type/check/assumption errors. Then the expectation is far more aligned with reality.. just because a unit test doesn't run successfully doesn't mean anything. You simply have to check the assumption and adjust the type check perhaps.

Hmm, I think when the author gets to imagining an "infinite dataframe" to deal with conditioning with continuous variables, it's kind of revealed that this isn't the best way to build intuition. Worse, sometimes we talk about conditioning on _unobserved_ variables which wouldn't be in your dataframe. This happens when we describe a model with latent/hidden variables that impact the stuff we do observe.

I think a conventional way of describing this, which I think is in intro textbooks, is better -- we thinking of cutting slice through a multivariate distribution, and then normalizing. If you have some distribution P(X, Y) where X and Y are both real, then its density is like some landscape (i.e. each x,y is associated with some height). P(X | Y=y) is like a slice through that landscape at Y=y, which leaves a 1-D plot of the density along X. If we re-scale it so that the area under it is 1, then it's a well-formed PDF.
I wear triples (pretty much daily) and they are by far the most comfortable shoe I've ever worn. Got them on sale for $600CAD in 2019 and they're still going strong today, I think I can probably get another 4/5 years out of them. I'm kinda embarrassed, but honestly, I recommend them, they're a great shoe.

>> Doesn’t really follow instructions too well,

This is the biggest problem we're having swapping LLMs. While Langchain allows easy swap, and while we dont care as much about quality during integration testing, etc...the bigger problem is following directions. OpenAI does well at outputting a JSON if I ask for one. Unfortunately now our software has come to expect JSON output in such cases. Swap it to, say, llama2 and you dont get JSON even if asking for one. This makes swapping not just a quality decision but an integration challenge.
They're one and the same.

We use 3d CAD to generate 2d drawings, that's the standard way 3d cad is used, to generate 2d drawings that let you make stuff.

Many people get 3d modeling like for games or computer graphics confused with CAD, which is different.

There’s plenty of costs the work in office crowd are shifting as well. Look at the hit the economy took from people not being prepared to work from home during a pandemic. Look at how offices inflate the prices of everything surrounding them and artificially force densification. Look at the environmental catastrophe office culture has caused through commuting.

The work in office crowd also forcibly shifts costs onto their coworkers by forcing them into the office under threat of firing, but the inverse never happens. I have a disability and had a legal entitlement to WFH for years which was routinely denied as a result of fraud where HR departments would claim undue hardship regardless of legitimacy. Since COVID this no longer flies as there is abundant proof that employers can in fact perform such accommodations trivially in many cases.

Work in office cost shifting was enforced through force and crime, so I have little sympathy for complaints of the costs of the work from home crowd voluntarily doing what they prefer to do.

While this particular treatment may go nowhere, cancer treatment has come a LONG way recently. Lots of theoretical “in mice” treatments I recall reading about 5-10 years ago are now actively being deployed clinically. By some measures we’ve had more than a 25% drop in age+health standardised cancer mortality over the last decade.

It’s easy to feel cynical when so many things seem like they get stuck for ages in trials and never make it to an actual treatment, but modern medicine is truly amazing. I have family who are sadly no longer with us, but who likely would have been cured completely if they had developed the same cancer today.
It was a bluff because either you're in a fuel emergency, or you aren't. He was trying to scare the ATC worker hoping they'd panic and slot him in to "avoid" the emergency. But that's not how any of it works. That's why it was a bluff.

The ATC being 4 minutes "late" for a callback during the busiest landing time does not mean the plane was "forgotten". 34 minutes is not very long to spend on hold, planes carry hours worth of reserve fuel. And estimates are just estimates, not a promise (like the article framed it as).

Honestly this is akin to someone showing up to the most popular restaurant in New York 2 hours late for their reservation, asking for a VIP room, then getting huffy when they don't have a VIP room within 30 minutes and then being angry they were offered a seat at the restaurant next door. (apparently the pilot, on the PA to passengers, was talking about taking legal action against ATC on the way to Oakland... ridiculous...)
