Toggle was a bit of a pitfall because the developer had to keep track of all the possible states prior to that line. It's easy to drop in as a function when needed in simple scripting (expanding faq sections, etc.)
The way I journal, I have a bash script that looks for today's date in past years, and opens them alongside the current entry.

It was fascinating when I started doing it because before it, I didn't really think about future me reading past entries. So it has shaped how I journal, and it has also made me journal more often, because I don't like the days where there's no past entries to read.

My work laptop is an m1 16/500 and I’m not remotely concerned about an upgrade. It continues to perform well in virtually any circumstance. Ironically, the only place I’ve seen it have any trouble (take longer than I think it should) is Swift Playgrounds.

My personal machine is a 2014 13” MBP. I’m eager to replace it with an Apple Silicon machine, but that requires justifying the expense to my wife, and frankly that Laptop continues to do just fine.

Fully agreed. I built a mostly vanilla JS app using a bare bones JSX lib[1] a few months ago and was surprised at how little I missed the rest of React.

The interesting part is that what we call disordered is really likely to be something more akin to organized chaos in some or even many cases. Sure it is not an helix or a sheet that is all nice and tidy (and yet there are a lot of variation there as well).
A bit of the same with the "junk-DNA".

Firstly, HN has no responsibility for the well-being of said poster or his* parents. If his thought pattern was not disorganized and he posted this pique query to HN on a WTF-basis, then fine. Caveat emptor.

Secondly, optimism and fact are orthogonal. Practices shown empirically to be salutary are considered to be "medicine", i.e. something that actually "works". Why am I writing this on HN as a rebuttal?

Finally, I may as well be older than your parents. Go to bed!

Huh?

There are plenty of systems where the difference between 0.04% and 0.03% is dramatic, after all it’s an increase of 30% — and what matters is not the paltry decimal representation but rather the effects.

For example: consider concentration of sodium in human blood. The normal range is 0.31%-0.33% by weight. By 0.4% you’re pretty much dead.

Or consider chromium, an essential trace element: the normal amount is practically infinitessimal, in blood it’s 0.0000007% by weight, approximately. But not enough and you end up with diabetes or cardiovascular disease.

“0.04% vs 0.03%” is not an effective takedown of global warming.

Pitchfork was gone long before Conde. Back in 2011, they panned Childish Gambino's 4th release††, giving it a 16%†. Here's what Donald Glover had to say, 2 years before the Conde acquisition:

If I worked for Pitchfork, I wouldn't give myself a 9.0 either. They're a brand, they sell tickets to a show they put on every year. They're not going to give a 1.6 to someone who can be at their show and sell tickets. They're not the same publication that I grew up with anyway. It's changed, and that happens. Any good idea starts with a movement, becomes a business, and ends up a racket. And I'm not calling Pitchfork a racket, but they're a business.

There is a worry expressed in the article about inequality arising from some students having paid access to gpt4 whereas the bulk of the students only get access to gpt3.5. I'm hoping to see openai release an update to the 3.5 model that makes this gap in performance be less relevant.

Well two things:

1. Maybe you aren't the intended audience for this.

2. They are lecture notes and homework which are typically distilled from a textbook or industry experience topic.

These are helpful items for someone teaching or speaking to these topics, you aren't supposed to directly learn from the notes. Its the equivalent of saying you could learn c++ from a power point presentation.

Does deeptechia indeed count Microsoft, Raytheon, USAF, and 500+ other organizations among the consumers of their products?

Since deeptechia is "revealing" themselves as of today, can they now come out from behind the scenes and make public their products? Why do they want people to contact them if their products are secret? How do we know their product offerings are right for us if they are secret?

Yup, hard truths: vanilla JS is far less readable and clunkier than just using jQuery to do the same thing. Also, not everyone needs or wants to move to a shadow DOM framework with a zillion components and high complexity. If you're building a SPA or PWA, yes, absolutely, but for the vast majority of us who use a traditional backend/CMS-driven site with server-side rendering where client-side interactivity is needed, jQuery still does the job really nicely.
So the takeaway is that more than zero but fewer than six cups is better than none or greater than six cups?

I can see the demand for on-demand office space increasing, but CBD real estate is going to be such a choppy market that timing it is going to be horrifically hard so as not to end up on the wrong side of the trade.

Also the real estate holders know that every bit of space they rent to WeWork is going to be re-entering the market to compete so they're not going to be inclined to give generous terms.

Unless WW has a very good grip on the market direction and timing it's going to be very easy for them to take huge losses (again)

I don't think gpt-4 is worth its 10fold price premium for all but niche usecases (coding may be one but I don't do that too much). And the much longer response delays are annoying.

I think 3.5 turbo is a really nice general use model. And the price difference makes it worry free (I use it a lot and most months I used less than $1) whereas gpt-4 really tends to trigger disturbing invoices after using it a bit :)

I still have 4 on tap for a second opinion if I'm dissatisfied with gpt-3.5 but in general it doesn't really yield much better results, whereas better prompt engineering helps much more with both models.

Of course YMMV but I wouldn't write gpt-3.5 off just because it's no longer the coolest kid on the block.
The process results in a lot of sodium hydroxide as well. Mix it with chlorine and water, and you're back to what you started with: seawater.
surely you still use procedural code within your functions and classes.

the point of await/async is you break down the callback nesting into a single set of procedural code. it doesn't mean all your code is procedural. just that what used to have to be a series of indented anonymous functions or spread all over the place named functions can now be an easy to read concise few lines of code all at the same indentation in a single spot. its an obvious net-win for readability and code maintainability. you are doing yourself no favors by not understanding/embracing it.

I think that even if it would be trained on a large set of actual CSAM data, it makes a very practical difference that the "marginal cost" of new images doesn't imply more abuse.

E.g. I have a local example in mind after a local pedophile was arrested in a bust of an international CSAM ring, the story goes that he was consuming CSAM, and joining that "better" ring of CSAM content required providing "original content" (that's one way they protected against law enforcement infiltration) and allegedly that need for that was the reason he went from watching CSAM to actually molesting several kids to film it. If we can remove this kind of motivation, that's IMHO a good thing for society.

If I were to start another company, I would be less inclined than ever to lease fixed office space vs. look for options for people to grab co-working spaces on an as-needed basis or short term office space for specific projects.

It might well be there's lots of room for growth for something well executed (but I'm not convinced that means WeWork) in that space as a way for companies to scale down their fixed office footprint.
The fact that Wordpress runs so much of the web sometimes wakes me in a cold sweat. If you're a dev worth their salt and knows proven engineering and design patterns, then Wordpress code is absolutely terrifying to look through.
Over the course of 13 years, I wrote 365 Future Emails to my 2020 self, one for each day of the year. It was pretty interesting to see myself "age" in fast-forward like that. The first handful of letters were pretty lame -- very short, lolsorandom-style stuff. Towards the end I was using it more like a journal, often writing many paragraphs per email.

What did I glean from it all? I don't know. It wasn't as mindblowing as I had hoped, frankly. Mostly I was struck by the sad reality that I had failed to predict what would be interesting to my future self. It reminded me of how, as a teenager, I had filled many pages of my journal talking about an MMORPG I was addicted to, rather than how I felt towards my siblings, or my spiritual beliefs, or a funny joke I heard at school, etc. Another sad irony was that the older I got, the more I wrote -- but when I read the letters, the more recent they were, the less interested I was in them. I wanted to read thousands of words written by my 15-year-old self, but all I got was a few sentences. Oh well. Maybe those longer passages will be interesting to 40-year-old me.
I don't understand how HN's community is distinct from the community on any other social network. This is a public site, and anyone can make an account and post whatever they want. You do see several attempted spam comments on many posts here, it's just that they rapidly get faded to obscurity.
> I still would like to know how SQLite does not suffer from the same problems as any other RDBMS.

That's simple: Not being an RDMBS, only an engine, is how it avoids the suffering.

The n+1 problem is the result of slow execution. Of course, an idealize database has no time constraints, but the real world is not so kind. While SQLite has not figured out how to defy the laws of physics, it is able to reduce the time to run a query to imperceptible levels under typical usage by embedding itself in the application. Each query is just a function call, which are fast.

Postgres' engine can be just as fast, but because it hides the engine behind the system layer, you don't interact with the engine directly. That means you need to resort to hacks to try and poke at the engine where the system tries to stand in the way. The hacks work... but at the cost of more complexity in the application.

There's a kid in my son's school who can't stop mocking other children for their appearance of a lack of wealth. He keeps finishing off his mocking with how much wealth his parents have and the pool at their home and other luxuries they have access to.

They aren't even 10.

We are family friends with a person who happens to be a teacher at school. She said it gets worse as they get older. The school is a private one so I assumed it might be due to a higher percentage of children being from more affluent backgrounds so I dug into behaviour at several large public schools who have kids from all backgrounds.

It's even worse there. Even the teachers participate in an exercise of thinly veiled mockery of children who cannot afford the entry fee to a school activity or "donation" to the school.

Every school I dug into has it in some form or another. And the end result of that is that even children who are from well off background whose parents don't flash it around feel left out when their peers talk about expensive holidays and their parents' luxury vehicles. The children start to ask their parents and put pressure to present themselves as more wealthy.

The obsession with displays of wealth has always been there and anecdotally it feels it's getting worse. Maybe I'm too pessimistic but I definitely don't feel it getting any better. The worst part of it is how much the layers keep building themselves up. I know enough families now to know this isn't coincidence; there is even a large amount of debt being built up just to maintain facades of obscene wealth. Once they are in that trap, you can't just exit one day saying "know what? That was a lie".

We'll never know about this particular teenager's motivations, but I'd wager that given the school he was in, there were similar pressures that eventually got the better of him :(

As opposed to straight up government propaganda in textbooks? At least chatgpt averages out everyone’s propaganda.

If you look carefully you’ll notice they’re full of stuff designed to instill a sense of national identity and patriotism.
