They have been taking about StyleX for a while.

I’m interested in how this compares to styled-components but particularly more interesting to me is the comparison with vanilla-extract which is a vastly better alternative to styled-components and does it all at build time instead.

Unfortunately it’s uncommon to see insightful conversations on HN about anything React or web related.
Just to throw my 2c here, since I also want the models to access the whole codebase of (at least) the current project.

I had great impression of sourcegraph’s cody. https://sourcegraph.com/cody few months ago.At least with the enterprise version of the sourcegraph that had indexed most of the orgs private repos.

The web ui (vscode extension was somehow worse, not sure why) was providing damn good responses, be it code generating or QA/explanation about code spanning through multiple repos. (e.g. terraform modules living in different repos)

Afaiu it was using the sourcegraph index under the hood. But I never really deep dived into the cody’s design internals (not even sure if they are actually public)

That being said, I’ve departed from the org months ago and haven’t used cody since then, so take this with a grain of salt, since the whole comment could be outdated a lot.
I’m surprised none of the 9front guys have explored big endian mode on raspberry pi. They don’t seem like they’d be turned off by the perversity of it.

But they must do something with SPARC, right?
I've seen people put untested AI hallucinations under review, with non existant function names, passing CI just because it was under debug defines.

I've seen some refer to non existant APIs while discussing migration to a new library major version. "Sure that's easy, we should just replace this function with this new one".

Imagine all those more subtle bugs that are harder to spot.
I read it as: for any given planet, if that planet has a magnetic field, how does that magnetic field exist.
Again, because I'm boring like that: it's pretty hilarious to me that anyone would choose to make a new blog and not just use WordPress, especially when their stated aim contains this: "...that makes it as easy as possible to create posts".

There are some moments when you shouldn't use WordPress. A blog is not one of those moments.

Avoiding the obvious tool for the job is classic developer trendytool syndrome.

> I was responding to the author of the comment I was responding to, who was anthropomorphizing the commit itself claiming that it did something.

Uh huh. The comment that you replied to is pretty much in line with the wider “patch does X to the code” which isn’t about anthropomorphizing. That’s the spin that you put on it.

It’s about as much anthrop. as saying that a falling piano crushed someone’s leg.

> We do it for usability and other reasons and one only needs to look at git itself to recognize that the original authors did not have usability in mind when designing it. What they built is incredibly powerful, but it's rare for usability and technical prowess to overlap.

It’s also rare to find commit message quality that is on the level of the regular contributors to that project. Which has nothing to do with how unfortunate the UX of the tool is.

> Since I have you, do you have any personal insights on why so many programmers retreat to this territory—simply deciding that the other person is a dumb and confused noob and proceeding to more or less declare that that's the case? (It reads as insecurity/projecting, but it's hard to nail down without more concrete information about the other person.

I think it's your attitude that does it, to be honest. For someone who seems to have issues understanding how `dlopen` and friends solves the same problem you're awfully dismissive yourself. I understand the blog post just fine, and it's honestly a way more complicated and less solid solution to something that has better solutions, including the one I mentioned (and yes, they solve the same problem).

You stated statically typed languages have issues hot-reloading code and I've explained to you that this is patently not true (and obvious to anyone who has spent the minimum amount of time you need in order to reload DLLs on-the-fly). You not being willing to watch a video of this isn't really a problem I'm trying to solve or otherwise handle.

> I know how shared libraries work

Then you should have no problem understanding why the responses you've received are relevant for hot-reloading. Maybe you should actually try to understand how shared libraries work more, then, because your confusion and your lack of understanding of it point to you not really understanding how you could use them yet.

Just to be clear, I'm trying to not be snarky, but your attitude about this is really getting on my nerves when coupled with your lack of understanding when you're the one with the original BS line about hot-reloading. I don't know why you can't just say "Oh, hey, I was basically just bullshitting because I've never done hot-reloading in a native language". It's not hard to recompile a DLL on file changes and reloading them when they change in a program. It's also not hard to compile a DLL. You implying that any of these things are hard shows that you really ought not to speak so definitively on any of them, and maybe you should tone down your dismissive tone when faced with proof of your misunderstanding.
I believe it really only works with GPT-4 directly, because OpenAI's prompting to make ChatGPT a chatbot ruins the effect.

Specifically the NYT put in the first sentence of the article and asked GPT-4 to autocomplete it, which it did with >95% accuracy. It's really quite stark: https://nitter.net/jason_kint/status/1740146134767865895#m

The issue isn't that GPT-4 users can read NYT stories without paying for a subscription, though that is a legitimate concern. The issue is that for good-faith use cases - e.g. asking to write a summary about a recent current event - GPT-4 could very well copy an entire paragraph from NYT verbatim, without the user having any way of knowing. It's a serious problem.
Taking simple steps to be more aware of your surroundings when something dangerous is happening seems self-evident to me. Please let me know what flights are you taking and when so that I can make sure I'm not on the same plane.
I was feeling bad because I couldn't understand through the accent, which I consider my failure, not theirs.

But I know one can improve understanding with practice, so maybe pilots are just better at it.

> COBOL is obsolete in a way that sheet music just isn't.

Is it not? I mean, look at teenagers playing with garage band. They're making music, but not using anything remotely like traditional notation. Pop guitarists have long since abandoned staves for tablature. Even very talented professional singers on broadway are often unable to sight read a melody.

You're right that if you want to learn, I dunno, the clarinet, there is a long tradition of tutorial and practice material in traditional notation that will take you all the way up to master level. And that's good and worth celebrating and preserving.

But it's not an argument that there isn't a better way to notate music for the clarinet!

Again: no one writes COBOL. No one writes COBOL even for the tasks (c.f. batch processed accounting systems) COBOL was good at. And the reason is that we invented better tools and adopted them. It strains reason to argue that a 4-century old collection of kludges and hacks can't be improved upon.
Paratus Ltd | REMOTE, occasional days ONSITE in London (UK) a plus | Full-time

Paratus is a young company with a first-of-a-kind insurance product to protect businesses from price risk. Since our launch three years ago, we've demonstrated the viability of our model with a product protecting the shipping industry from changes in fuel price, and are now undergoing a large expansion into other sectors - particularly renewables and decarbonisation. Our new product for wind and solar farms protects them from falls in the price of electricity, and so makes investing in renewable power safer.

I have been Paratus's CTO / sole full-time developer at Paratus for three years (working with specialist contractors as required for UX, security etc), but we're looking to increase the team size to four to support substantially increased demand and expansion of the company. Our initial role will be to support the sales team by maintaining and enhancing our pricing model, with a natural pivot into expanding our books-and-records system as sales pick up. In the medium term, there's the prospect of interesting new development work as increased capacity allows us to automate new parts of the business flow.

Senior Developer - £100k+ (negotiable depending on experience/fit etc)

The key thing we're looking for from our second developer hire is that they should be able to stand in for me in a pinch. Specifically:

• You should be comfortable and familiar with the core of our tech stack (Java / Spring / PostgreSQL / AWS).

• You should need be able to get up to speed quickly on an unfamiliar project and, after a short period of orientation, be able to self-teach / find your way around on your own.

• A key requirement is that you should be able to cover for me if I become sick or unavailable - you should quickly reach the point where you can reliably carry out urgent development work unsupported.

• A mathematical background would be a plus - our pricing model is somewhat technical and one of the key things we need to support.

• As the team grows, you should be able to skill up quickly enough to be able to support and mentor less experienced developers who still need some help finding their way around.

• Being able to assist with interview and recruitment processes would also be a plus.

Developer - £60k-85k

• You should have experience writing software as part of a team, using Git or other version control.

• You should know how to write automated tests and understand why they are important.

• You don't need to have the depth of experience necessary to become fully autonomous on day one, but once you understand a task and the area of the codebase you're changing, you should be capable of working reliably and independently.

Please email a CV / cover letter to careers@paratusltd.com to apply.
It’s pinterest for me. It’s infected so much image search space and never takes you to the actual source images. It’s infuriating.
VGA Planets. Such a great game, advanced to its time!

It was a Civilization-like game, but in space, with lots of pop culture references, complex like Dwarf Fortress, and turn-based. Each turn was uploaded to a BBS or Usenet, and a host put all the players' turns together every few days, then sent the turn files back. So fun.
The demand is far from insatiable, the linked site shows the number of new emoji per year has decreased dramatically, and most of the new ones are encoded with ZWJ sequences that don't really require new unicode codepoints.

Also the existing system is (mostly) backwards compatible. The main issue is that it's not forwards compatible, with the exception of said ZWJ sequences.
> Show me how I can get ChatGPT to show me the full text of a NYT article.

There are like 40 pages of examples in NYT's lawsuit showing exactly that.
They must know this right? It seems the "Be helpful and engaging" is a bit of self delusion to pretend they aren't having such a wide negative impact on all of humanity with this kind of research.

If the premise is to determine how many alerts the user will tolerate before taking action to silence them, it's known up front the alerts are unwanted and harm the user. The alerts are intended to drive product addiction. By definition, that's unhelpful to the user.

The user is tricked by their phone, using the same noise and vibrations a direct message from friends or family that requires immediate attention causes, to force the offending product's brand into the forefront of their mind and make them decide to ignore the notification, investigate the notification, or silence the app's notifications.

They want to maximize the number they can send, because they are studying the individual recipient to learn what they're more likely to respond to. Once they know that, they can barrage the person with those things they can't resist until product addiction is achieved, and yet another smartphone zombie is created. Yet another person who will not put down their phone to drive their car, have dinner with their families or tend to their own needs.

The author must know the damage their work has done to people's lives, and this "be helpful and engaging" nonsense must be how they rationalize it.
>now admits those people were right the whole time

Those people for sure aren't the anti-vaxers and anti maskers.

It's about the consequences of the lockdown, school closings and operation postponings and it's pretty easy to point at that consequences if you can't compare them to the consequences without these measures.

In Sweden they had similar admissions that their initial measures were wrong and they didn't have lockdowns.

> The Heartland remains the nation’s center of gravity for manufacturing, despite a legacy of deindustrialization. It is home to more than half of US private-sector manufacturing employment, 6.5 million of America’s 12.8 million manufacturing workers. The region’s economic output in 2022 was $16.5 trillion, equivalent to the world’s third-largest economy, and its productivity was roughly 7.5% better than that of the nation as a whole.

My understanding is that it is California that is the main hub of manufacturing in the US, with Texas in second position.

Skimming from public transit is an old trick.

There was case like this in Boston about 15 years ago that came to light as they were switching away from tokens to Charlie Cards. It was an MBTA mechanic. IIRC he was caught because it looked strange that someone kept showing up with bags of tokens to exchange for cash at one of the stations.

Even with the new card system, someone figured out a scheme to steal:

https://www.universalhub.com/2011/mbta-revere-man-made-sold-...

And when I was a kid there was a big parking meter scandal in which most of the collectors were implicated after a resident saw two of them skimming. Loved this quote from the investigator:

''The meters in Boston are the oldest I've ever seen,'' Mr. Vitagliano said. ''In some cases, it is actually easier to take a quarter out of one of our meters than to put a quarter in. I mean that.''

If the progress you're talking about in terms of processing efficiency of those games? Or something else?

Of note, I would bet that if you took a modern GPU, SSD, 32gb of RAM, and stuck it on a 2014-era motherboard with a i7-4790K it would run Cyberpunk 2077 just fine.

I don't think you could say the same about a Pentium 4 running Dragon Age: Inquisition, or even Skyrim.

Agree on the SSD being a huge gamechanger.

Canadian vending machines are happy to accept US quarters at par. Why pay for a more sensitive mechanism to prevent someone from giving you a more valuable coin. Although, probably not more valuable enough that it's worth filtering out from change boxes to deposit with a US based bank instead.

Otoh, there are coin mechanisms that can check for and reject quarter sized objects that are attracted to magnets; they might not be installed everywhere that takes US quarters, but if an operator starts getting a nuisance amount of CA quarters, they will be. See this doc [1] for a description of a pretty discerning mechanism (although it accepts both US and CA quarters, a slightly different design could reject CA quarters)

While everything you mention are signs of good, defensive driving and seeing more than "Just following the rules," average human drivers don't do what you do. And that's what the automated systems are compared to.

So again, while I think ultimately the automated systems should also do what you're talking about, right now, if the other article is true in its claims that Waymo is safer, it seems sufficient to follow the rules to achieve a certain level of safety.
Intriguing! At least where I lived, they must have changed that by the 90s. I wonder if they are still doing that curriculum now or if it has reverted.
Hey there, that's extremely cool! I like the simplicity the most. One thing to improve on would be a error message that explains why there are sometimes no results (e.g., I type in "ginger tofu" and there is no recipe even though there is a Ginger Tofu that shows up if I type in tofu alone.)

Besides that I was also wondering what kind of tech stack did you use to create the search?

I'm still looking for a similar solution to query data on my Wordpress website (it's currently inside an app but I want to transition to an all-in-one solution eventually).
Are you describing the fact of the matter, or your knowledge/perception of the matter?

Bonus question: who sets school curriculum, and may that have some relevance here?

> Airlines and regulators decided that, for safety reasons, electronics are banned for passengers.

Huh? Electronics are allowed on flights in most countries, including in Japan, and including on the specific flight we're talking about. We're discussing whether it would be good for regulators to ban devices and anything else distracting during takeoff and landing.
To rephrase it a little bit.

Much of programming, coding and developing is done by a person who is a knowledge worker and writes code. A good proportion of code to be written, will be written just once and never again. The one-off code snippet will stay in a file collecting dust forever. There is no point in trying to remember it in the first place, because without constant repetition of using it, it will be forgotten.

LLMs can help us focus our knowledge where it really matters, and discard a lot of the ephemeral stuff. That means that we can be more of knowledge workers and less of coders. I will push it even further and state that we will become more of knowledge workers and less of coders until we will be, eventually and gradually, just knowledge workers. We will need to know about algorithms, algorithmic complexity, abstractions and stuff like that.

We will need to know subjects like that Rust book [1] writes about.
