That is good context - that sounds like an implicit commitment to be working on that project. If a co-founder of mine bailed because they found something that sounds more fun, that doesn't seem like a good working relationship and would discourage me from ever working with them again.
nice idea, but I would change the landing-page video.

it's very synthetic, and I have no desire to watch it
Also, the hardware is too damn expensive. They will have spent thousands of dollars just on actuators for those rigs. It makes it very hard for anyone outside a research or industrial setting to sketch out ideas.
One underrated aspect of the show is the backgrounds being grounded in reality

I live in the city (Brisbane) the show is set in

Effectively every detailed background is recognisable but tastefully selected (not shoved down the viewer’s throat)

If you do ever visit Australia, take the kids to see Brisbane

My partner manages front of house for the Live Action Bluey theatre show, she was the first person to put Bluey on my radar (we have no children)

The live action show was so popular they’ve recently just put it on for a second session

The kids get to watch Bluey inside the QPAC building (a common background in the show, next to the Eye of Brisbane)

> You don't have to work full time. Your spouse makes 85% of what you need? Cool, you can work 15% of the amount of time you otherwise would.

There aren't enough jobs with that number of hours because companies have per-employee overhead and will choose someone who can work full time over two part-time employees. So then you get stuck with the full time job you hate that pays more than you need instead of the full time job that you enjoy that pays exactly what you need.

Moreover, even if you could find a job working only three hours a day, you're still commuting two hours a day to get there when the lower-paying job was closer, so now you're still spending almost as much time and ending up with even less money because you don't get paid for commuting and you have to pay for transportation.

But you can't end up with less money since that's not enough, so now you have to work more hours. You need the full time job in order to pay for the transportation to get to it. Which means all you've done is add two hours of your own time commuting while trading a job you enjoyed for one you don't.

> And for the person getting the training, that still doesn't affect their cost of living. Training isn't cash in hand.

Schools don't pay cost of living for their students. If you don't have the money you're expected to do some other paid work to come up with it.

The employer offering the training could offer you more paid hours, but that's not going to result in exceeding a minimum wage when averaged in with the negative $/hour training time. Especially if the extra hours are counted as overtime even though they wouldn't be if the employer and the school were separate entities.

> I'd personally target the living expenses for a single person, living in a studio or 1 bedroom apartment, with the expected average commute for the area, and who is generally healthy.

Which is completely arbitrary, since that is neither the average person nor would you want it to be. In fact, people making minimum wage tend to have longer commutes, because they have a low skill level and you prohibited them from trading lower wages for a shorter commute.

It also doesn't make any sense. If you're anyone other than that person, you may not need as much (e.g. you have a roommate or live with parents), so why shouldn't you be able to take a job that you prefer for non-wage reasons over one that pays slightly more? Or on the other side, if this is regarded as necessary (i.e. we're not going to solve the problem in a way that would make this unnecessary, such as a UBI), you'll be screwing over anyone who doesn't qualify for your arbitrarily structured assistance programs. And the assistance programs are frequently poverty traps because overlapping means-tested assistance programs cause their recipients to be subject to excessive marginal tax rates -- sometimes exceeding 100% of their marginal income, not that 50+% is anything reasonable in the alternative.
Well, they got the most critical component correct: an appropriate number of googly eyes is vital for this sort of application.

Many aspects of the things operation happen by itself. They cut a piece of metal to a particular shape, but the properties and behavior of that metal already existed and were not designed by anyone, merely disscovered and utilized.

It's somewhat like the difference between a mechanical interlock and a program with rules that do the same thing.

You could have two solenoids operating two relays, and two extra contacts on each relay to act as sensors, and some code that says if A is on then turn B off, if B is on then turn A off. (pretend for the moment that a single relay can't be both sides at the same time)

Or you could have no solenoids and no sensors and no computer, just a solid bar connecting the two switches with a pivot in the middle. It becomes impossible to press both switches at once, and the function, the enforcing of the desired truth table rule, very much happens "by itself".

The fact that a person designed and fashioned the mechanical interlock does not make the two systems equal, in kind not just in degree.
I just found this galaxy keyboard cover for the S8 and the phone really adjusted to the keyboard being there, this looks like the perfect solution. Why did they stop manufacturing this for their new phones :/ Someone in the reviews also mentioned that they borked it with a Software Update.

So why is it saddening to you? It's down to preference. Some people are natural feeders (and they are lovely people) but others aren't. The two coexist very peacefully.

FWIW: It's not like I'd ever let anyone go hungry!! Just that in my mind there's a big discrepancy between "fully preparing a home-cooked meal for several hours". If you're privileged to have the time, space, energy and knowledge to lovingly prepare big feasts for people, more power to you. Me and my cold-hearted mates will be content with, oftentimes, shoving some chips in the oven or frying a bag of frozen nasi goreng, or getting cheap takeaway to go with our beers ;)

No they don't. They have powers beyond that of an ordinary member of the public. So do many other civilians! That doesn't make them not civilians.
Funny, this was may take on the article too. I suppose one could download x amount of files from one cloud storage and upload it to another to see if there is any obvious discrepancy. Perhaps Apple are still using their old file system format for icloud? It's been around for a good few years now and perhaps they simply haven't bothered to ever change the type of storage format they use. Maybe those with older accounts have their images / videos on the 'older' drives?

It’s a DSL by definition because a function provided by an external library cannot be a language primitive in the host language, or else it wouldn’t need to be an external library! Unless we’re talking about a LISP but we’re not.
Why do they need to pack an extra phone instead of using their primary one?
The opaqueness is definitely a problem. My iMessage database has a corrupted spot somewhere in the message history; if I accidentally make the Messages app read that spot (via searching or scrolling back through old conversations) it'll silently start maxing out the CPU and burning energy for no reason. There is no error message, nothing obviously wrong-looking, and as far as I know everything works.
> What would they benefit from this?

Today one of the largest challenge with Sentry at scale is that every error looks the same. If statements only get you that far. One of the ways in which we want to improve this is to use issue interaction and the event's content to predict the severity of an issue.

The second case is a version of suggested fix that uses your code to suggest actual fixes to your code. In this case the data never crosses your organization's boundary and is private to yourself.
I've seen it self-hosted too, worked fine with little to no maintenance.

What if you have never cooked at home but all the time in a commercial kitchen? That's the reality for most of us here so it is a bit difficult to relate to this article.
I love this comment. It would have taken me hours to write and ended being pages long, and hard to understand.
All libraries are DSLs, then? The initial claim was:

> you can't really implement it in a library in a normal programming [...] you have to implement it in a programming language, at least an embedded domain-specific language

So which is it?
I bet it's automatic

usually it changes how the scroll wheel behaves. it either scrolls in steps of n lines (n=1 or n=3 for example), bringing n "new" lines into view with every step.

Or it scrolls more like in a browser or image editor, where is can also scroll by fractional lines (pixels essentially), which, of course, after the scroll looks the same but during scrolling it looks more "smooth"
Canterbury is a slightly smaller version of other cathedral cities like Cambridge or Oxford

Fellow Canterbury fan here, and this might even be underselling it to people unaware of British history. Canterbury is physically smaller for sure, but significantly outranks OxCam in terms of historical and ecclesiastical value; its cathedral being the mother church of the entire Anglican communion.

JFC, how much are your overlords paying you for such corporate drivel..?

There is no discussion to be had, here. Such a service ought'ta LEGALLY be `opt-in`, and inability to even opt-out is also INTENTIONAL.
It’s only a valid positive take if it were in any way novel. But there are already loads of such cases. The Content ID system is just broken by design, and they’ve clearly demonstrated no interest in fixing it. The system is designed for abuse.

Most notably here, even a successful dispute on the grounds of the work being in the public domain doesn’t stop the claimer from claiming new videos that match, which it very obviously should.

If you want to change someone's mind about unions then one-off links to court cases is not going to work. You'll need to really target the idea of unions themselves instead of finding bad PR. For example, I could go find PR of "corporation bad" but it would not turn someone into a communist.
Surprisingly, I've received a similar storage notice from Apple before the holidays and I decided to download all photos/videos into my own media server instead of hosting it on iCloud.
There is not an easy, straight-forward way to download your archive from iCloud. I am slowly getting there using multiple machines and devices.

The issue with the recent changes with Apple is that they increase the prices for no good reason. We're always going to take photos/videos and their sizes keep increasing with modern tech and capabilities.
> Today the largest context window for GPT-4 is 128k tokens. That's around 300 pages of English text. It's a lot of code!

It really isn't.

I just did a test with a random TypeScript file with 400 lines of code which translates to almost exactly 3000 tokens in the GPT-4 token counter app.

This means that we are talking about being capable to analyse a maximum of 43 small / medium sized files.

Each analysis will also cost $1.28 without any additional intermediary costs.
> make use of constructs that are easier to make "obviously correct". i.e sequential/blocking code styles vs async/callback styles.

I agree with the overall sentiment but I don't think this is a good example. If `await foo(); await bar(); await baz();` is subtly wrong, then `foo(); bar(); baz();` isn't obviously right. Continuation passing style is a minefield, of course, but callback hell is a historical artifact, not an intrinsic feature of asynchronous code.
How? Which part is a violation?
In my experience preconditions are invaluable but fine grained post conditions within a function can get unwieldy really fast. I tend to move my post conditions outside to the caller. So, they end up in my calling modules and integration tests which call the logic directly.

So, responsibility for determining the correctness of the return value and what to do next (return error, retry, ..etc). falls to the caller.

Just wanted to throw that out there.
Nothing we have today will do this - in fact given the nature of AI as it appears today, I have more doubt that we will create "our replacements" or an AI that is truly sentient the way a human is.

I've not the read the article but I'm assuming much of the ways AI could destroy the planet involve non-sentient accidental type things that we ought to be able to account for - like the nuke AI not hallucinating an attack for example.

Stuff like an AI developing a new super virus bc someone trained it to do that and prompted it to - that's just something we have to account for in life now. I'm assuming stuff like that will be like the atom bomb - 70+ year old tech that's itself not all that hard to figure out but getting weaponized plutonium is very, very hard.

I'm no expert but I'm sure the AI we setup to stop the AI will be.
What a great coincidence to see this. I've been doing something pretty similar over the past few weeks, slapping together an Elixir app [0] that controls lights in my house via zigbee2mqtt. For now it only handles a motion sensor nightlight, but I have grand plans of course.

> Society is built from people producing economic output.

That's a very idealistic image. People producing economic output are a not that large fraction of society.

There are a lot of people in the society who are useless or harmful from the point of view of economic output. Military, advertising, retirees, children and full-time learners, significant fraction of bureaucrats and political class, successful rent seekers. They are all part of society. I don't have the numbers but I think, altogether they are majority.
That has nothing to do with AI though. That has to do with security engineering.

Sentry could accidentally leak data without AI just as they could use AI in a secure way.
oh, definitely.

Everyone who still uses these GPUs probably doesn't require "more speed" (or they would have upgraded already)

If people lose their money quickly to bots/collusion/cheating (or simply skilled players), they will quickly run out of money. If they play each other, they can play more hands, so more profit for the casino.

To exemplify the two extremes, assuming 10% rake:
Player A has $10, and loses $1 every hand: after 10 hands, he's broke and $1 went to the casino.
Player B and Player C are equally skilled and equally lucky. They keep playing $1 pots, trading back and forth. After twenty hands, both have still have $9 while the casino already earned $2. They could essentially keep going until they have given all their money to the casino.

Steamboat Willie Without the Animal Abuse
I think the guy is one of the biggest intellectual scammers out there.

He wrote his famous book when working a normal 8 hour job and was nowhere near being wealthy. He wasn't a rich dad. Just a normal guy.
I use newsboat, so it picks everything up in chronological (modulo feed oddity) order, but displays only "unread" items to me.

On top of that is further organisation: non-HN feeds are batched together in a single display, but HN often produces more than a screenful (~70) of unreads, so then I have hotkeys that filter out alphabetic subsets: A-G, H-R, or S-Z. That normally suffices to avoid any scrolling, but when I haven't been following RSS for several days, I also have filters that further limit to a single day, either 1, 2, 3, or 4 days ago.

Although the underlying data is kept chronologically indexed by newsboat, and I can always refer to it that way (frex the concrete splits AG/HR/SZ were determined by querying newsboat's SQLite instance) it by no means prevents layering a myriad (well 20, not counting newsboat's ad-hoc command line filter interface) of other ways to organise on top.

It is not just regulations.
It is because land + regulations are expensive, cutting costs is important. Now we also could count high interest rates.

So, building as cheap and fast as possible is important to stay afloat. Example: making house from prefabs is cheaper and faster comparing to building using bricks + pro brick laying technics (i.e. what you can call ornamentation).

Besides, we should also consider that while saying that ornamentation is good to have, it does not mean it would fit all the people.

Good idea is to have regulations limiting what exactly you can build in historical centers of european cities.
Depends on country and the exact types of "record" and "publish".
