> There are women who find the joke funny and who don't think it's sexist, and FWIW my wife is one of them.

Women can be misogynist. What is your point? We live in a culture still filled with everyday misogyny and sexism (and racism and other forms of bigotry). Misogyny or sexism isn't some innate character trait like a gene deficiency or something you get from exposure to gamma rays. It's something you do and behavior is specifically influenced by the culture around you.

There are still comedians "the ol' ball and chain" routines and how they hate their wife, basically, and there are still women and men who laugh at it (usually for different reasons).

There's a well-known phenomenon where women in positions of power will actively sabotage women under their authority and "kick the ladder down", often to avoid risking their position by being seen as "another woman" rather than "not like the other women". Even the "girl boss" trope liberals seem to enjoy so much is usually based on superficiality and suppressing womanhood. It's very much about "carving out a space" for some women who do the part and try to fit in with the men without challenging the need to fit in with the men in the first place.

I'm not sure what you're trying to prove by citing more reasons to dislike VdL when I literally already told you I strongly dislike her. My disdain for her goes all the way back to when she was the figurehead for Internet censorship (i.e. DNS and IP blacklisting) and tried to justify the extension to government power with "fighting CSAM" and implying anyone opposing her project was a pedophile.

When your joke only works because she is a woman and mother, it's extremely likely that your joke is sexist or misogynist because it relies on sexist or misogynist subtext to work. "She has more children than working fighter jets" only works because she is a woman and a mother. You could make that joke about a man but it would have very different subtext, i.e. a man having a lot of children implies being an irresponsible womanizer: you could have made that joke about Berlusconi for example to build on his reputation for promiscuity and irresponsibility. It would be a very different joke.

> Does she have a value system?

Yes. She's a "liberal conservative". I realize this sounds nonsensical in the more widely used American sense of those words but it's a thing. I think the US equivalent would be something akin to neocons, expanding state authority while simultaneously reducing social services and deregulating markets. She luckily hasn't been very successful or coherent in practice, though.
> Did we ever get an explanation as to how Gemini Pro had such a large increase in rating so suddenly?

Easy, they bought it.

No, not really. I have many old Linux VMs too, with different degree of rot, and FreeBSD has noticeable smaller tcp connection establishment latency. Youtube opens way faster than on both older and newer linux vms.
It was the tcp stack. Only possible reason.
Wifi-Calling: What is it? How Does it Work?
You might not be serious, but see also Liar's Poker: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liar%27s_Poker#Reception

Despite the book's quite unflattering depiction of Wall Street firms and many of the people who worked there, many younger readers were fascinated by the life depicted. Many read it as a "how-to manual" and asked the author for additional "secrets" that he might care to share
What do you mean by poorly grown? A robust neanderthal skull can handle injuries from megafauna better. Our better strategy (potentially through more developed language), finer weapons, and slightly better ballistic aim combined to make us the better hunter. The evolutionary pressure for robust facial structure was not there - we evolved in a hot environment where a more lithe body was better adapted to long-distance persistence hunting.

Also, GATTACA is a gem of a movie.
I actually liked those animations and enabled a similar functionality in VSCode:

> Like there's no guarantee that if I'll practice my soccer moves 24/7 for 10 years I'll ever be able to beat Ronaldo.

Because Ronaldo keeps practicing and improving, as any professional athlete would.

But the hare is the person who never bothers to train or improve beyond their natural talents, who thinks they've already won the race, so there's no point in even running. The "smart kid" who coasts through school and never leaves their comfort zone but winds up in a dead end job with only wasted potential and unfulfilled dreams, while the people who actually applied themselves blew past them in college and got better jobs and achieved their goals.
The biggest problem with the U.S debt is it means there are people with no creativity and entrepreneurial risk-taking ability that are earning 5% on a trillion dollars through taxation of the people who are. This is an enormous waste.

In China, where people aren't allowed to take money out of the country easily and there is no huge government debt market, people must invest in something that could possibly not turn out well and which is likely to increases the capital stock of the country in terms of factories, housing, infrastructure, etc. if it does. In the U.S it's just dumb money getting billions for exercising no creativity and risk-taking ability.
Thank you for detailed explanation. With initiatives like "Interop" and browser engines getting more compatible, it would be neat to see some experiments using "web views" in a few years.

As someone who doesn't read outside perspectives on Matrix, but probably checks the Foundation blog once a month, I would say the latter. You've created a perfectly tolerable product, aside from some (admittedly unfortunate) edge cases. More or less everyone acknowledges that Matrix is, at the bare minimum, usable for individuals chatting, if not the best option right now.
If you are happy and productive with your current editor(s), no, you don’t need to spend valuable time picking up and configuring another one. Save the effort for when you actually need it.

Despite what others may say to convince you otherwise, this is the only correct answer ;)
I am not too impressed by its features. The most useful thing to have would be mouse hover support (f.i. for showing LSP based info).
I am a pretty big terminal user, and I still use a graphical front end (specifically Neovide and Neovim-Qt). If you are happy with the terminal, you're right, there's no "upsell" here, but if you're happy with something, why would you switch to something else?

I use a graphical frontend precisely because I was unhappy with the terminal, and not because I am stupid, inept, or lazy.

For one thing, a graphical interface liberates you from constraints on key binding, fonts, and colors. Whether any particular graphical interface implements such improvements is up to the developer. But that's the beauty of the whole system: unlike with Gvim, none of that has to be upstreamed into the main application.

Neovim-Qt also offers a couple of interesting features like native scroll bars, a tab/buffer line made of native "tabs" instead of drawing it with plain text, and a native right-click menu. It also has some kind of adaptive color thing, for people who really like to "rice" their system and get a uniform look and feel across applications.

Something to keep in mind is that all of these projects are relatively new and developed by hobbyists. It will take years and years for any of them to reach feature parity with Gvim.
These things were cartoon plots 15 years ago. We live in a truly cartoonish time.
If you’re not loving it then don’t waste your time on it. Use the tools that suite you. Getting into vim is a commitment to configuration, I’ve probably spent close to 50 hours of my life configuring this little text editor. It’s been relatively fun, but mostly because as soon as I started getting into it I had the bug to make it perfect for myself. I ended up switching to VSCode with a neovim extension and my life improved significantly lol
Still no mention of their vaporware gemini ultra?
Go try it. You get 100 free searches per month, or something like that.

I'm a happy customer.
I've never seen a Markov chain do anything like GPT4. I'm not sure how you can say with a straight face they are basically the same.
I just open multiple Neovide instances. In each instance I usually have the screen split in the middle (two buffers at the same time), with the one on the right often replaced with the built-in terminal emulator.
My understanding is that you control evaluation more explicitly in concatenative combinators. Combinatory logic cannot destructure programs, only apply them.

I think this has implications for eta-equivalence of programs. I think there are programs that are equivalent in combinatory logic, but not equivalent under concatenative rules.

I also think it affects type-checking, program in concatenative style can (with additional primitives) express "only evaluate if the program typechecks", while I am not sure combinatory logic can express such a program.
Tried it. It's still quite limited, not comparable to gpt. Google does fall far behind.
I don't think it's fair to judge how good a movie is based on how faithful it is to a book. They're different media entirely and you don't have time in a movie to get into the substance of a book. Movies usually leave fans of the original work disappointed, series are much better at that cause they can take the time to develop characters and go into multiple arcs. On a less philosophical example, Reacher is a good example to me of a movie that has nothing in common with the book apart from some names, and a series that is spot on.

On top of that, it's another piece of art. Directors should be allowed to provide an opinion. Take Verhoeven's adaptation of Starship troopers as an example, which is widely a critic of the source material. They're both different stories in their own right. I enjoy both of them differently, and I'm glad Verhoeven didn't go out of his way to relay the message that militaristic dictature is the way to go.

How do you organize and index your ChatGPT chat threads and chats?
My list of ChatGPT chat threads is growing. It's becoming onerous to organize and index my chat threads and chats.

One can rename a chat thread. So I'm trying the tack of keeping the chats for a single thread around a theme, and renaming the chat thread something related to the theme.

There's no way to directly bookmark a chat, but one can bookmark a chat thread. So I'm trying to create bookmark folders in my browser, with useful names, and put bookmarks to relevant chat threads in there.

Please share your methods for organizing and indexing chat threads and chats.

(It would be nice to have a plugin that can parse through all my threads and dump all my prompts and their responses into a table in SQLite or MongoDB, so that I can easily search them.)

I don't think that's true. America's home ownership hovers around 65% - in Norway it's 80%; Swedeon 65%; Denmark 59%; Iceland 73%. If anything, a higher percentage of Nordic citizens own houses than Americans.
Thanks. I'm okay with taking the downvotes for comments like this. There's a reactionary political bent on HN and you get more karma from participating in it than pointing it out. It's all fun and games until someone points out we're not rational actors in a vacuum.

Hello! I'm Ricardo, a Full-stack Engineer with 10y of professional experience and a strong emphasis on backend development . Beyond my technical prowess in Javascript/Typescript, PHP 8, Flutter, SQL, Docker, and more, I complement my web development skills with an MBA and prior experience in administration and financial analysis.

For over a decade, I've dedicated myself to the same company, managing the complete life cycle of numerous projects from inception to deployment , consistently ensuring optimal performance and user experience . Working solo has given me a broad perspective, but I'm now keen to join a team where I can focus on a specific role. Collaborating with and learning from others will undoubtedly fast-track my professional growth .

Lately, I've been learning about Svelte , Astro , NestJS , and Rust . I'd really like to use them in real work. I look forward to leveraging both my technical and analytical skills in new, challenging projects .

I'm not inclined to engage in industries that harm the environment , jeopardize people's health , or are ethically dubious. I am committed to making positive contributions to the world through my work .
Tell HN: ChatGPT Plus responses got much shorter in the past 3 months
I'm in finance, and I use GPT Plus to read earnings call transcripts and give me detailed, skeptical summaries. It fails every time on the skeptical part, but 3 months ago during earnings season it was still giving me detailed summaries. Now the summaries are a single paragraph and it's all surface stuff. It requires multiple prompts now to get what I want from this Custom GPT.

My opinion is that they are limiting inference time to save whatever "free" Azure they have remaining. I've had Plus for several months now, and I feel like they keep testing to see how much less they can give customers without them cancelling their subscription. I just reached that point.

Anyone else with a similar experience?

Résumé/CV: https://vnvn.me/resume.pdf

Hello!
I’m a UX engineer with ≈10 years of experience, currently working in one of the biggest automotive companies, designing and building functional prototypes for the user interfaces (both soft- and hardware).

I’m looking for a position where I can be in the middle of design and technology. The dream would be working in the field of professional audio and music creation or IoT and industrial automation. But I’m interested in almost everything, as long as it’s technology-related, except maybe crypto stuff.

I feel you, I feel the same. I just like modal editing too much.
Even though I have to remap CapsLock to Escape to make that usable.

I feel naked without those commands at my fingertips. It's not even about speed, without it it's like... it's like woodworking with a table knife

If I were to take up modal editing now, I'd go for Helix. It's a better editing paradigm (Kakoune inspired) and it aims at just working out of the box.

I finally opted for Lunarvim but I believe all those Neovim distributions are great
7% is the default selection in the dropdown in the layoff planning app.
Lynx perhaps but otherwise I think you're a few orders of magnitude off.
I want to point out that, you are arguing with a guy who defends a person who spends more time shitposting on twitter then running a company that he really deserves $50bn bonus.

You can spend your time better than this ;)
Roboflow | Open Source Software Engineer, Web Designer / Developer, and more. | Full-time (Remote, SF, NYC) | https://roboflow.com/careers?ref=whoishiring0224

Roboflow is the fastest way to use computer vision in production. We help developers give their software the sense of sight. Our end-to-end platform[1] provides tooling for image collection, annotation, dataset exploration and curation, training, and deployment.

Over 250k engineers (including engineers from 2/3 Fortune 100 companies) build with Roboflow. We now host the largest collection of open source computer vision datasets and pre-trained models[2]. We are pushing forward the CV ecosystem with open source projects like Autodistill[3] and Supervision[4]. And we've built one of the most comprehensive resources for software engineers to learn to use computer vision with our popular blog[5] and YouTube channel[6].

We have several openings available but are primarily looking for strong technical generalists who want to help us democratize computer vision and like to wear many hats and have an outsized impact. Our engineering culture is built on a foundation of autonomy & we don't consider an engineer fully ramped until they can "choose their own loss function". At Roboflow, engineers aren't just responsible for building things but also for helping us figure out what we should build next. We're builders & problem solvers; not just coders. (For this reason we also especially love hiring past and future founders.)

We're currently hiring full-stack engineers for our ML and web platform teams, a web developer to bridge our product and marketing teams, several technical roles on the sales & field engineering teams, and our first applied machine learning researcher to help push forward the state of the art in computer vision.

Talking about a mangled ending from the book, Fight Club is the same, they removed what I think was the critical part of the story. It was filmed and you can see find it on some dvd editions.
This is so messed up. It shouldn't happen. If a company thinks some compensation is warranted, it should be given as pay, period.

Sometimes I'm amazed at what contemporary society thinks is reasonable in terms of compensation norms. This is obviously extreme if true but it's like the US has been collectively brainwashed in terms of merit, pay, and compensation practices.
Along the same lines as this, I miss links being underlined and in blue. Sometimes we are too quick to drop conventions in order to be different.

Theoretically you could support the same RPC API from a completely different text editor, and thereby use any Neovim-compatible frontend . That sounds like a nightmare of course, but it's technically possible.
Those engineering fields have exams and certifications. Software Engineering is still too immature for that, I think.
