Technically that's reuse, which is one R greener than recycle.
I don't like DSLs because in almost every case, it would've been better as a library in a general language. You get matured primitives, control logic, and interoperability for free that way, and there are fewer surprises.

But Wasp promises so much that I still want to try it. Getting auth and RPCs auto-generated would be great on its own.

Sure, the TS type system is not sound but the idea is not to stop "bad guys", it's to help you realize you are doing something unintended.
I wouldn't bother responding to grandfather. Literally every time apple releases a new product, there's a bunch of people collectively shrugging off whatever the product claims to be bringing, and along come the "the iPhone v1 was crap too and look how that turned out" apologists. Not worth the discourse.
That's the last-ditch method for making sure they can pay anyone. My bank lets me pay anyone via online bill pay, some of whom have registered with the bank in a manner that allows fast transfers, and some of whom get mailed a check that may take up to 5 days to arrive.
LLaVA-1.6: Improved reasoning, OCR, and world knowledge
One thing I find really, really weird about the US immigration system is that immigrating illegally is trivial (apparently even more so nowadays than it was 15 years ago), and it even comes with a loophole that can make you a legal immigrant later, yet legal immigration is a very tedious and often impossible path.

I have a relative that 15-ish years ago simply overstayed their tourist visa and never left. Some 5 years later he found a chick and put a ring on it (and because he married a US citizen, all his overstay was instantly forgiven). Then he had a immediate US citizen relative who sponsored him for a green card, which he got a couple of years ago. In a couple of years he can apply for naturalization. Yes, he couldn't leave the US until he had the GC in his hands, but I'd say it was a small price to pay for a massive shortcut.

For a married European that would love to live in the US, like myself, legal immigration paths are simply not viable. I would not accept a non-immigrant visa (like H1B), because it doesn't come with any guarantees that I'll be able to stay in the US, and legal immigration paths are basically limited to winning the DV lottery or coughing up $900k for the EB5, as no company in the right mind would sponsor me for an EB2/3.

And for many people from oversubscribed countries (like India and China), marrying a US citizen is the ONLY viable path to a green card.

US immigration system is fundamentally broken.
A totally free market will lead to a regulated one in an attempt to create monopolies. Monopolies are created by regulation, not broken up by it.
The free market gathers wealth with a few and then determinate value depending on the state of mind of the few. The whole harebrained idea never worked, resulting in even more harebrained counter movements like socialism preventing value to be how many antigerm washings you performed per day. It's civil unrest or the threat of it, that redistribute wealth and restart societys value circulation.
This looks great and the pricing is obviously a big improvement, I will try it out for our Linux jobs.

Sure would be good to see competition for the MacOS and Windows runners too, these are the ones that tend to cost us the most.

That’s wild. Several years ago I closed an account. Then 8 months later I got a negative balance statement. It was a NSF because a recurring ACH subscription renewed and the vendor ACH’d my account. My bank told me they did close the account when I requested but ACH attempts will reopen the account even months later.

Even crazier, the merchant initiating the ACH had been refusing to cancel my subscription and my bank recommended just closing the account as the fix for that at the time. Partially because I wasn’t using it actively, I think there were other ways this just happened to be the simplest. But it didn’t work because of said reopening of account.

Also, the merchant got $0 as it was NSF. But bank charged a couple $35 fees IIRC causing the negative balance. They really didn’t want to waive them and I ended up talking to like 3 layers of management to get it resolved. I was just like, “of course it was NSF how/why would I leave a balance in a closed account? Why don’t you reject the ACH some other way? Your business logic is fucked up”

Or Swift I might add.

For me, Flutter is code bloat in comparison with Swift. Swift is doing a great job of reducing the code you need to write, lots of syntactic sugar.

I only compared few basic apps like Hello World and Buttons, but the difference in code to write was stunning to me.

Flutter also resembles React in this regard to me. Lots of bloat instead of syntactic sugar like for example in Angular.
Reading this article brought me no closer to understanding why people use these. From day one you could give any LLM any context you wanted, that's the whole point after all.

The actual next stage of LLM development will be giving the user the ability to select/deselect what training data to include otherwise there is a limit of at most a few pages of context you can provide.

Custom GPTs are trying to pretend thats what they are doing but it's not going to work.

Like you can't upload a novel and say, "speak to me as if you are this character" because the LLM can't ignore it's training data entirely and the context you give it gets drowned out quickly.
Yes and no.

When you look at populations, it averages out, but there are definitely 10x teachers out there. It’s more of a function of teacher+student combination. The problem is actually more about the structure of schools that limits what great teachers can do.

I’m sure there are studies out there - I’m also extremely skeptical that studies can adequately measure variation in teaching performance (I come from a background in sports / circus, where scientists are always 10-20 years behind the state of the art understanding of the actual practitioners)

(I think it’s kind of like with coding - anyone can write a CRUD app, and anyone can teach basic arithmetic. But certain teaching tasks require very skilled teachers to work)

> Malls were what all the anti-car people supposedly promise will happen when you remove cars. And yet, I know of no malls that ever gained residence areas within walking distance.

One of the malls near me, about 5 years ago they tore up a good chunk (like a third) of its massive parking lot and turned it into an apartment complex. It now butts up almost directly against the mall.

So at least there's one.

I'd advice you to skip another generation. I can give my experience with it.

I have Q3 and try to use it for work from time to time and it is still not enough to replace an actual monitor, at least for me.

FOV of 110 degress is too narrow, maybe 140 degress would solve it, but I'm not sure. The thing is that apparently I glance to content without turning my head a lot and I discovered it when I tried to use Q3 for actual work. Even though the lenses and POV are much better than on Q2 and other wired VR glasses it's not enough for me still. Also sometimes reflections in the lenses are too bright and distracting and I don't know how to fix this.

Resolution is much much better than Q2 and Quest S that I also have, but it's still not enough. And IPS panel is the biggest downside of it. That should've use OLED instead.

But the main problem that stops me from using it is the smoothness of the whole process of starting to work. You can't just sit behind you desk, put on the glasses and start working. The whole process reminds me of preflight preparation: you need to ensure that the software is running and correctly setup on you PC and that's not always the case. You always need to ensure that you have controllers by your side, because hand tracking often fails, and Q3 often struggles to find my hands at all. Basically, software wise it's not there for a 100% smooth ride like with screens where you just sit at your desk and start to work without a single hitch.

In short, it's like a death by thousand cuts. Some people can tolerate some of them and can use Q3 for work, but in my case I wasn't able to tolerate any of them and that kills it for me for now. I hope for Q4 or maybe Quest Pro 2 after seeing a slim prototype that Mark showed some time ago.
Probably nothing.

I know I sound a little cavalier here, but c'mon, if you're going to repeat the "oh noes, radio waves are giving me $TERRIBLE_DISEASE!" conspiracy theory stuff, you gotta provide some peer-reviewed, replicable (and replicated) research to back it up.

We've had a huge variety of radio frequencies shooting through various layers of the atmosphere for generations at this point. Sure, some frequencies have only been around and pervasive relatively recently, and we should be watching for longer-term effects. But there's nothing reputable to suggest that the stuff floating around now is unsafe.

For reference, the stuff coming down from satellites is much lower frequency (usually IEEE L-band; 1-2GHz) than even WiFi (IEEE S & C bands). Sure, power levels are a bit higher -- though significantly attenuated by the time it gets to ground level -- but if WiFi isn't causing problems, it's vanishingly unlikely that satellite transmissions would be dangerous to humans.

To summarize: I'd be more worried about sunburn and skin cancer when I forget to put sunblock on in the summer.
> We’ve found that going to the bank the check was written on can help in scenarios like that.

That does not universally eliminate "you're not from around here". Anecdotally, some banks will fingerprint people who show up with a check from that bank if they don't already have an account at that bank.
> We need laws to prevent the collection in the first place.

Agreed, when possible. But the vast majority of this information is just generated from the activities inherent to doing business and it's always possible to prevent it from being collected at all.

I think it's generally okay and expected that businesses have information related to my interactions with them. But I think people don't expect or like the idea of that information being shared with third parties who didn't need to be involved.
- the games were very buggy

- gen 1 pokemon are very basic and probably some of the worst in the series (subjective)

- the games are extremely unbalanced, and many types have only one evolution line while others have a lot, there's no uniformity (gen 1 has only 1 dragon and 1 ghost line)

- the lack of physical special split hits many types insanely hard and they never balanced for it (i.e.: Ghastly line is a special attacker but is the only ghost type, ghost type is physical for some reason)

- gen2 is basically non linear for most of Johto, which completely destroys the levels on the gym leaders and the wild pokemon. The Kanto section has similar issues. And red is only difficult because it's insanely overlevelled compared to everything else

- gen 2 gym leaders don't have Johto pokemon (lol)

- trainer AI, especially in some instances, is very weirdly programmed (Blaine for example uses healing items on full HP pokemon for no reason)

- lack of moves means even late game, trainers have start-of-game moves ( blue has a rhydon with tail whip and leer, but no ground or rock moves. And an Exeggutor with no grass or psychic damaging moves. And he's the final boss)
There is more of a fragmentation of social media networks now than before. More corporations are trying to enter that business I guess. In effect, this makes it less of a chock to say that you don't use Facebook, because you could easily be using another platform. So given that you don't use Facebook there is a lower probablitiy that you are avoiding social media entirely, hence less drama.
I want to like Rust, but I find myself fighting the language so much - and not because of the lifetimes. Off the top of my head:

- Yes you get const generics, but no you do not get const generic expressions

- Yes you can provide impls for traits, but no you cannot impl a foreign trait for a foreign type

- Macros cover these gaps in meta-programming, but macro code is really painful to read/write

- If you want to write one tiny little proc macro, you need a whole. new. crate. So I usually write ugly, convoluted "declarative" macros instead of what would properly be a proc macro

- Last time I wrote a Rust macro that generated a lot of code, the intellisense in VS Code stopped giving hints for functions in the macro output. Breaking intellisense is very painful

- Yes const fns exist, but no you cannot use iterators or for loops in them. AFAICT a lot of library authors just don't go through the trouble of defining const fns. I was bit by this when I tried to make a const array using the ndarray library. Instead you have to go through the whole song and dance with OnceCell.

- Speaking of which, OnceCell feels like a downgrade compared with static initialization in C++. You get more soundness, but also much more verbosity

There are very good reasons for many of these restrictions, but still. I fear doing anything too fancy because I've come to expect that the language will yank away the football at the last second.

PS. Not a language shortcoming, but - do not just write out idiomatic vector math expressions as you might do with Eigen like:

```
let a = b + c + d + e;
```

IIRC Eigen can be smart enough to only allocate one result vector for this expression. Rust numeric libraries, on the other hand, will allocate many unnecessary temporaries. You need to be thinking much more imperatively to get similar performance:

```
let mut a = b + c;
a += d; a += e;
```

That wholly depends on your definition of the term 'earned'. If you compare it to the way most people look at it - earning money through hard work against an hourly rate - it does not make any sense at all. If you define it in terms of gains - monetary or otherwise - created through the actions of a person things look different and there are many people who would have 'earned' this amount and more. In practice hardly anyone who 'earns' so much actually is awarded the amount they 'earn' but Musk took a gamble which would normally have paid off like many be-suited-and-tied types (and quite a few be-shirted-and-hoodied in more recent years) have taken such gambles before him have done. As to why Musk is singled out here where others like Gates, Bezos and Zuckerberg were left alone does raise a number of questions related to the impartiality of the legal system.

I think distancing was useful in preventing spread of virus.
Cloud providers are very careful to make sure of that - they have deliberately eschewed performance increases that are possible (and have occurred in the consumer market) in favor of keeping the “1 vcpu = 1 sandy bridge core” equivalence. The latest trend is those “dense cores” - what a shocking coincidence that it’s once again sandy bridge performance, and you just get more of them.

They don’t want to be selling faster x86 CPUs in the cloud, they want you to buy more vcpu units instead, and they want those units to be arm. And that’s how they’ve structured their offerings. It’s not the limit of what’s possible, just what is currently the most profitable approach for Amazon and google.
This WSJ opinion piece has the title "Anthony Fauchi Fesses Up", not "It turns out the six-feed social-distancing rule had no scientific basis", as the current HN title sys.

The opinion piece also says

> the six-feet rule for social distancing “sort of just appeared” without a solid scientific basis. That’s one of the admissions that Members of Congress say the former National Institutes of Health potentate made this week in two days of closed-door testimony to the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic.

Not having "solid scientific basis" is not the same as "no scientific basis", and even that quote presumably comes second-hand, given that it's from closed-door testimony.
But when you pointed that out, you were decried as "unscientific", and/or censored.
All fair points except the one about "evenly distribute into a near infinite volume of sand", which makes no sense since you would obviously target the zones being used by the crime rings themselves, of course you can't find them all but if the risk of mining useless sand becomes big enough it may stop being economically attractive for those criminals.
The main difference with Mastadon is tha with Mastadon you have a single node that you get your federated feed from, and that verifies your identity. Therefore if your node operator doesn't peer with some other node, you wouldn't automatically be able to communicate with users on that node.

With nostr, your identity is just a pubkey, and you can publish to / read from several nodes simultaneously. So if some node refuses to puplish certain content, you can just get it from another node without having to create a whole new identity.

Wasp generates code. It's a bit odd how even with such a big layer of indirection, you only have one choice of backend language. Though I'm personally happy with JS and want to give this a try.
You're right, notifying them directly would be too much effort.

The sensible way for developers to become aware of possible improvements they could make is for them to constantly scan the rest of the internet.
"Stringly typed", the way I've heard it, is a valid criticism when people replace type safety with magic strings which may or may not be checked at runtime but certainly not at compile time.

However, that's not the case when it comes to Typescript, because literal and union string types are actually checked at compile time. So what is the problem?

The idea is that most of the time you don’t need travel 10 miles and if you have to, public transport will cover you. I live in Amsterdam, and I can do all basic errands within a 10 min walk and in around 10 min cycling I have access to endless amount of shops, restaurants and museums.
I see no problem with USPS offering banking services, but remember that many check cashing service customers are themselves "predators".

Somebody from Intel who had a PhD from my school and manages a bunch of process engineers was on sabbatical and teaching a class at his old department, some of whose undergrads I taught. I visited an info session he was presenting and pointed out that I had been a green badge in JF5 for Validation and that they had a reputation of not matching ASML and Nvidia offers. He went ballistic on me and told me to go work for them if I got an offer from them and that he wouldn’t want me on his team with that attitude. While I am sure all the other people in the room who were F1s and undergrads still wanted jobs and he answered their questions honestly as far as I could tell (saying Intel would be bankrupt without CHIPS act money etc) that can’t have been a good look for him. I did leave the room only after telling him I wanted his company to succeed.
In my experience, the special skills that many foreigners tend to have that many Americans do not is the ability to tolerate absolute and utter bullshit. I'm not kidding.

I am not satisfied with my job/employer -- bad environment, bad culture, etc.. I have coworkers from all over. Of the non-US native ones that I interact with, they all absolutely love our job and/or employer.

I've asked them about it, and I generally get the sense that I could not survive in the conditions from which they originally came -- both at work and outside of work.

If a dumb drone like me could figure that out, then I am sure plenty of employers found out long before me.
HN doesn't like calls to take responsibility for what we produce. Regulation and responsibility are anathema here. But no worries, the world is fortunately a lot larger than that and little by little the tide seems to be turning towards holding the producers of software accountable for the works they produce, just like every other engineering discipline.
