Where did I say I hold random Russian citizens guilty for the actions of their government?

I certainly don't. The vast majority of Russian citizens are victims of their shitty government, just like the rest of us who have been impacted by it.

In any case, let's get back to the point we were talking about: Russian influence on the brexit referendum, you still haven't offered any counterpoints relevant to anything I've said.
Why not ugrep?

They are more or less equivalent. One has obscure feature X other has obscure feature Y, one is a bit faster on A, other is a bit faster on B, the defaults are a bit different, and one is written in Rust, the other in C++.

Pick the one you like, or both. I have both on my machine, and tend to use the one that does what I want with the least options. I also use GNU grep when I don't need the speed or features of either ug and rg.
adb is indeed useful. I can use adb inside a HyperV Win11 guest OS and have it communicate to my Host Win11's Windows Subsystem for Android and run test android apps in the host OS. I like this approach as it doesn't pollute my host OS with development tools, while using Microsoft WSA for simplicity.

All I need to do is some virtual networking fu via 'netsh interface portproxy' inside both guest OS and host OS.
I cannot speak to either of these programs but other people on here talk about WGU for undergrad and OMSCS from GaTech for masters as rigorous programs that are quite good value for the money. Example discussion here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25471029
Of course it did. The balloon was using the '$39 for unlimited data, one-month special' package. The same as all the other Chinese balloons use.
I think the point are valid but it comes back to a much simpler idea - what’s the right tool for the job. Figure out what you want to do then find the right level of abstraction to get it done. And salespeople are one data point, generally not to be relied upon. Or have I over simplified?
Seems like you’re describing snapshot testing, whereas the article talks about bisecting.

Bisecting is useful when you find a bug which your test suite did not, and which may have been introduced a long while ago. So you search for the first offender between the last known-good commit and the most recent, usually with an automated test that reproduces the bug, and which should be introduced in the suite to prevent it from happening again in the future.

A snapshot test is basically a “let me know if this unit stops giving this output for this specific input”. And sometimes the fix is to acknowledge that this new output is now the correct version by overwriting it to the snapshot.
Maybe adding your location would help centre some of the discussion.

A few questions, feel free to leave them unanswered.

1. What leads you to believe you'd be a good teacher?
2. Why are you looking at the high school level? Not higher or lower?
3. Why focus on local school systems in-person vs. online? I'm not suggesting Udemy, but I'm thinking something more focused with kids looking for privatized learning.

I ask these questions as a dad to a 5 year old that I'm trying to teach programming to, eventually. Just looking to hear perspectives.
It’s a biologically inspired approach, hence the name. Biological neurons don’t work based on sampling functions, they have inherent non-determinism distributed throughout the network, and receptors to enable runtime modulation of the network’s function.

This dynamic modulation is seemingly at odds with mathematical soundness. Whether mathematical soundness should be a goal or not is a question to be answered empirically.
If I get used to it and would be unhappy if I weren't able to maintain that habit: yes, and that's a small part of why we don't go out to eat on a regular basis - the larger parts being that most restaurant food is remarkably unhealthy, and that I'm a good cook who enjoys both the ingredients shopping and preparation. For the same money and level of hassle (especially now with a 3 year old), we could either have a mediocre restaurant meal, or excellent steak or salmon with fancy vegetables at home.
At very least robots.txt is from 1994; it has been part of the web almost from the start (web became public in 1991, so within 3 years).

Claiming ignorance here would be just a little bit disingenuous.
Moreover, for a quoted company, Sarbanes Oxley makes it difficult to spend money on this kind of activity.
According to Amazon, it’s ‘B’.

B & C look the same from outside, of course. You’re not paying retail printing prices, but they might eke out a couple pennies of profit.

For customer sales, the royalty is 60% minus the print fee. The minimum retail price is 5/3 the author price, and still gives the author nothing.
> people having the option to end their lives in some cases

People nearly always have the option to end their life, unless they are physically incapacitated. It's just a question of how big of a mess it makes.
Low-code tools have a market fit problem because of that escape hatch. The players keep trying to sell it as a solution to IT deficiencies but it should be sold as an IT empowerment tool. It really doesn't matter how good your last mile delivery is if the shipping container with the product isn’t where it’s supposed to be to begin with.

All the components and modules that low code tools provide should be nothing more than an onboarding tutorial like the first few levels of Factorio, before letting the engineering team loose hand in hand with the users. It shouldn’t be an escape hatch, it should be the front door.

As such all these low code tools make the mistake of making it really difficult to bring the engineering team into the fold: modularization, logging, debugging, version control, and development tools are absolute garbage so instead of engineering providing a few sane company specific building blocks that they can tend and nurture, it inevitably turns into a shitshow because you can’t use a tool that ultimately depends on the IT department to fix the IT department!

The best “low-code” tools have already been around for over a decade: it’s the headless CMS and autogenerated admin pages ala Django and Wagtail. They’ve been focused on solving the content management problem for e-commerce and marketing, but IMO it’s the write path for other groups too. The engineers write the pages and blocks and components while defining an input/configuration schema for an automated tool that is usable by laymen. Up the level of abstraction to a well curated (by the engineers at the customer level) IFTTT layer and bam, you’ve 95% of use of low code without the 5% that inevitably ruins it.
Part of me is disappointed this isn't LAN-guesser where you get creds on a random box and have to work out which internal network it is on.

There you go. Try it with 4. Still doesn't work? Let's revisit when 5 comes out.

You appear to assume that current "AI" is able to "understand" and "think".
What makes you so sure?

So, it "thinks" and "understands", it does not make (probabilistic) guesses?

Definition: guess

to give an answer to a particular question when you do not have all the facts and so
cannot be certain if you are correct

https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/guess

To your other point:

Also maybe try asking it something that ordinary humans can be expected to
accomplish, rather than complaining that nobody has invented
Ramanujan-as-a-Service yet.

Hmm... is it too much to ask such an "AI" for formal (i.e., well-defined) stuff?
I would argue that mathematics or any formal language is perhaps more accurate than human language.

You will lose the argument eventually, it's only a question of when.

Oh, I hope so, but I am skeptical, as I am still not convinced of an LLM being an "AI".
As a kid I heard that circuits like adders were made from boolean algebra AND, OR and NOT gates.

I played around on a big paper pad, and finally got a 4 bit adder implementation.

But since my unit circuit was [A,B]->[S], instead of the canonical [A,B,carry-in]->[S,carry-out], I had to add a second layer of units to propagate the first carry onward. And a third layer of units in case that also generated a carry. Etc.

So my circuit had gate of order N^2/2 and depth order of 2*N instead of gate and depth orders of N.
Most cultures absolutely do. Japanese culture is teh exception not the rule.

> So what? It doesn't allow for an orderly society that's pleasant to live in.

Of course it does. Those two things are not mutually exclusive at all. Unless you take one of them way too far like the Japanese do, with no discernible benefit.

> No, just a tourist who has eyes and can see what shit holes American cities are in comparison.

That's not because of individualism, that's because of corruption, lack of regulation and enforcement, wealth disparity etc. Other western countries with the same focus on individualism have very nice and clean cities.

> Christianity still functioned as a check on American individualism. Unfortunately that has collapsed.

The sooner any and all religions become forgotten, the better we will all be for it.
Off topic, but ChatGPT was able to correctly explain the joke, which I think is pretty crazy
Wow, I have a similar story. After moving to a new apartment complex, I leave my bike out on the ground floor patio. A week later, it's gone. Two years later, I'm walking to my car, and I see a pile of stuff next to the dumpster from an eviction. Guess who's there?

Seat missing, chain rusted solid, tires dryrotted to hell. It seems bike thieves are not incentivized to take care of the bikes in their possession.
We can do what we will. If someone wants to construct an extra-judicial narrative that contradicts the law so believably that it influences and ultimately compells reality through legislative changes, that's their prerogative.
> Why do you think you are special, and need to do something different than everyone else does?

People should be free to follow their desires within reason, not forced into a mold because people were indoctrinated into thinking it was necessary.
Surely the idea of building a drone based on a bird has crossed drone manufacturers mind, and given that no drones like this exist, I expect there to be technical hurdals to get it working. I see no mention of innovative technology, save the idea of building it in the shape of a bird, and a nice 3d render. Highly skeptical.
The word fag has multiple meanings across the various en_* variants, including cigarette and (a) gay.

Many readers hereabouts read English as a second language. It took me roughly two seconds to ensure that my meaning was spelled out. This response, rather longer 8)
Assuming US, based on terminology used. Have you considered teaching at community college? Depending on the state, the degree requirement may be dropped altogether, and I'd argue you could "give back" just as much, if not more - a lot of CC students would definitely benefit from, and appreciate, learning from someone with a long tenure in industry. Especially someone successful who does not have a "traditional" education.
Wholesome story, thanks for sharing <3
Disney yanked them after acquiring LucasArts.

I was so pissed when I went to re-download them and they disappeared even from my Purchased list. Complained to Apple and they basically said "shouda made backups, good bye and fuck off". $12 down the drain.
I’ll go against the grain and say low code will eat software engineering.

But not the conventional low code platforms like web flow or retool or power apps.

It will be AI native and built in a visual+conversational manner.
Idea: You pay a fixed fee at the start of the month. This is your subscription.

With it comes a right to a certain amount of consumption. Every individual item of consumption will then have a set price.

If you use all, you've paid precisely. If you use more, you'll pay a little extra next month. If you use less, you'll get refunded next month.

This way payment follows consumption, it is transparent, and it can be implemented technically.
Did Mendel falsify his data?
Right... but RN I can go on Bing and access this tech. If the NYT wins their stupid ONLY Msft, Google, and other like them will have access - WE will ALL be left out

Some people are going to get cut out - that is happening no matter what.

I want to have access still.
I am all for requiring, say, 3 professional counseling sessions to discuss the reasons a person wants to end their life. But if after that, the person is still committed to ending their life, I don't believe anyone should be able to stop them. They can always do it with a knife or gun, without anyone's permission - it's just a question of messiness - so I don't think someone else's approval should be required.
So... I did a quick Google and a lot of online teaching positions for AP classes merely require a BS in something related. The BS is the continuing degree I see over and over again. That said, I bet if you could get a hold of a human in a smaller outreach type program, they'd hire you no problem. If you just want to teach with no regard to money, then something like the TEALS Program might appeal to you.
A couple more things to consider:

1) I'm having trouble finding a good citation, but I remember it being a minor scandal at some point that statistically, the real-world weight loss from semaglutide was found to be roughly half what it was in the trials, probably because the trial populations were unrepresentative (younger and fewer comorbidities than the real-world population, IIRC).

2) In the face of shortages of the standard branded Ozempic/Wegovy products, a lot of people are turning to compounding pharmacies. But according to Novo Nordisk, there is no legitimate supply chain of semaglutide for them to use, so these pharmacies are apparently selling people a semaglutide salt that is manufactured as a research chemical rather than a licensed drug [1]. The FDA has also warned of outright counterfeit Ozempic getting into the supply chain, complete with fake serial and lot numbers [2].

[1] https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/ozempic-wegovy-we...

[2] https://www.fda.gov/drugs/drug-safety-and-availability/fda-w...
Which is itself a weird phrasing. OFAC compliance is an obligation, not an "opportunity".
IME is much higher level than that. These are when you program by essentially just making a diagram (ideally).
From the author's perspective, this is not expected according to their agreement with Amazon. Unfortunately from the consumer's perspective, this is not surprising at all. Everyone I know has received a "used" item sold as "new, sold by Amazon.com." Whether it's due to commingling, or an attempt to reduce waste, or plain corporate greed, I have no idea. Just saying that if I returned a book on Amazon, I wouldn't be surprised if it was soon sold to someone else, even if I was the author of the book.
I love cold-blooded software and avoid unstable-ever-changing software as much as possible. Why? Because I can then focus 99% on delivering customer value instead of constantly rewriting code that used to work just fine but now doesn’t because some inexperienced snowflake narcissistic developer decide to make arbitrary changes to an API that worked perfectly fine for years!

Sorry a bit of a rant there. Unstable software makes me want to throw my PC out of the nearest window.
We plan to add this!

OpenAI is not profiting off providing me with the ability to generate copyrighted images, they’re profiting off giving me the ability to generate copyrighted images.
I think there's been a dependency since day 1. For example, I have lots of photos scanned in the 90's with my old (old old) scanner, and they are in .psd format. Which for instance, macos can still preview.
This is not control. It entirely depends on the decisions of other EU members.
In my experience with the GDPR it's selectively enforced on large companies and not small mom and pop shops unless they are handling unusually sensitive data. The legal system can only handle a couple of cases at a time, spending that on small shops with inconsequential signal effects isn't their MO.
This seems deeply antithetical to a free society
Feel free to contribute to this :)

Will look to add local LLM support soon.
Hey now, Don't Bring Me Down
> 1. It's not possible for you as an individual consumer to know whether or not the AI result is a violation, given an AI that has been trained on copyrighted works.

I see what you're saying in some cases, but in the cases where the user is explicitly attempting to create images of copyrighted characters (e.g. the Mario example), they would definitely know. I honestly don't see this as a practical issue - as far as I'm aware (and like most on HN I follow these things more than the average person), there aren't a lot of concerns about inadvertent generation of copyrighted material. It's certainly not at issue in the NYT lawsuit.

2. Before you, the AI consumer, uses the generated result, a company (in this case OpenAI) is already charging for it. I'm currently paying OpenAI. That AI is currently able and willing to sell me copyrighted images as part of my subscription. Frankly that should be illegal, full stop.

Totally fair, but I feel like it's a bit more of a gray area. If I use Photoshop to create or modify an image of Mario for personal use, we'd call that fine. I grant you that here OpenAI is doing more of the "creating" than in the Photoshop example, but we still do generally allow people to use paid tools to create copyrighted images for personal use.

I'd also pose a question to you - what if OpenAI weren't charging? Is it acceptable to train an open source model on copyrighted images and have it produce those for personal use?

I guess I just understand the law to revolve more around what the end product is used for, as opposed to whether a paid tool can be used to create that end product.
Anyone have thoughts on Github positioning themselves as the industry-agnostic building ground of the modern world?
I really like your take on the escape hatch.

The success of low code implementations often comes with a curse of investing man-years of development effort to build increasingly complex applications in proprietary low code languages executable in a closed ecosystem (and commercial terms) of a specific vendor.

I believe there is a place for enterprise app platforms which are a) open source, b) not based on proprietary languages, c) with low code capabilities, fueled with AI code generation, d) runnable anywhere without staying dependent on typically user-based commercial model.

Shameless plus: we are working on such a thing, and competing with traditional low code platforms is not easy, I could tell a few stories about what we have tried, what works and what not really, if you are interested. I would be also extremely thankful for any comments and hints you may have, see https://openkoda.com

You could quite easily check if anything you care about was touched by the previous lock holder, so that they could indeed write everything but the root in parallel/concurrently.
E.g. note batched operations, like "insert list elements into the immutable container", or transactions where you don't even want to see results that soon.
On the other hand, I kind of like knowing that all sold Mario stuff has some affiliation with Nintendo. I don’t want to deal with thousands of chinese knockoffs.
Generally low-code are those gui-driven development tools.

E.g. You can write a data pipeline in SSIS by just dragging boxes around and entering connection details.

Sometimes the abstraction doesn't expose something you'd like, so you add a bit of code (SQL/C# for SSIS), but that's the "escape hatch" rather than the default workflow.

You've also got the approaches like Power Query, where a frontend action is automatically recorded as code (M in that case) , but the code is largely hidden from the end user and only used for source control/escape hatch.
On the latter example, my question is whether anyone is actually using ChatGPT to read NYT articles. My understanding is that to produce the examples of word-for-word text in their lawsuit, they had to feed GPT the first half dozen paragraphs of the article and ask it to reproduce the rest. If you can produce the first half dozen paragraphs, you already have access to the article's text. Given that, is this theoretical ability to reproduce the text actually causing financial harm?

Database mess is unavoidable because it needs to support different kind of customers.
As someone who worked at a low code workflow SaaS, I agree with this. The automation is a commodity, the value was in discovering that people wanted to talk to the LLM to orchestrate their automation vs bespoke workflow design UX. You can also decouple models from API scaffolding like Gorilla LLM (or rather, broad models that dive deep into use case specific models on demand).
It's best to call it "Tail Call Elimination". It's not a nice-to-have optimization in Scheme as using tail calls is the only way to iterate (do is a convenience built on tail calls), it's a necessity for any non-toy Scheme implementation.
Agree, you shouldn't overdo your email. Many people waste time organising for no benefit. The goal of the Inbox Zero app is to make you more efficient. Not that you spend even more time cleaning your email.
Have you done a lot of low code work? I’ve found it just ends up with escape hatches everywhere because the low code platform can’t handle some edge cases or gets too complex for the non engineers to reason with. Other issues are observably, logging, testing, debugging, etc are often impossible or very difficult. Could work for small shops but the enterprises it gets marketed to usually need the normal code.
Interestingly, optical was one of the PHYs for the original 802.11: indirect (diffuse) infrared. I think the idea was that the AP and the individual nodes would communicate by scatter off the office ceiling.

(The other two PHYs were FHSS and DSSS on 2.4GHz, the latter of which morphed into the 802.11b that gained wide popularity.)
