> meanwhile, gay men see traumatized men and try to claim them. There’s a misunderstanding that men who got picked on in school are ripe for gay conversion.

Chiming in to drop the anti-anecdote, I have literally never experienced this to be the case, I don't know a single gay person interested in "converting" others.

In my experience gay men know what dating or sleeping with a "traumatized man" is like because a lot of closeted men are like that, we do not seek to claim that at all.
Which seems to be tens of thousands of years old !

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman reportedly seeks trillions of dollars for AI chip project
I recently signed up for an OpenAI API key, and by default they enforce a quota after which they disable the key, and when you’re ready to serve more requests you increase the quota manually. I’m surprised to learn more companies don’t do this by default to save everyone from these kind of surprise bills. Although now that I think about it, I suspect there are lots of cases where the users just end up paying these.
Congrats on picking up the most useless skill ever. I did the same but it was forced upon me by the (cough). Anyway, congrats again. We are so lucky.
I took an image with cursive Hebrew from Google and it gave me:

"שיר השירים רבה פרשה א

אמר רבי שמואל בר נחמני אמר רבי יונתן: בשעה שאמר הקב"ה ליצור את האדם, נמלך במלאכי השרת, אמר להם: נעשה אדם? אמרו לו: מה אנוש כי תזכרנו ובן אדם כי תפקדנו? אמר להם: יודע אני שהוא עתיד לחטוא, אבל אני בורא אותו, ואח"כ עושה לו תורה ותשובה. מיד נברא אדם, שנאמר: "ויברא אלהים את האדם בצלמו" (בראשית א, כז). אמר רבי שמואל בר נחמני אמר רבי יונתן: בשעה שברא הקב"ה את האדם, טעו מלאכי השרת ואמרו: זהו אלהים. מיד כתיב: "ויאמרו אלהים אלהים" (בראשית א, כו). אמר להם הקב"ה: אני הוא אלהים חיים, והוא אלהים על כל מעשיו."

I translated from google translate and It is correct.

Also, made it make a summary in english (translated):

" This is a page from a Hebrew manuscript. It is written in square script, which is a type of Hebrew script that was used in the Middle Ages. The text is a poem that is written in a style that is typical of Hebrew poetry from the Middle Ages. The poem is about the beauty of the Sabbath, which is the Jewish day of rest. The poem describes the Sabbath as a day of peace and tranquility, and it also mentions some of the traditional activities that are associated with the Sabbath, such as eating and drinking, and spending time with family and friends."
One distinction is maybe between the way the world works and way we humans work, with our language and our unconscious. My read is that Cormac is deeply skeptical of the rational story our language tells us, and that we overlook and ignore the role of the unconscious, but that this is a statement about our own internal universe, and not the universe at large. Whether the universe is organized and symbolic, I don’t get a read, but he certainly seems skeptical that we can cross this divide, especially only with language. I can see how this feels a bit against science, but I guess this feels very much at philosophy of science level (so maybe more tame but also more interesting)

But also yeah totally agree on the “fuck yeah science!!!” Personally that also scares the crap out of me, but maybe that is a bit too much heresy in tech land.
Sagemath is a python library that has more capabilities than Mathematica. If you want to do real symbolic computation in python Sagemath is the only way to do it.

That said sympy is quite a cool little library for learning.
How does Firefox work with Google Meet? I'm finding Google Meet gets less and less reliable on Safari on my Mac. What's the point of a web app if it only works on one browser?
"Medicine 3.0" is pretty cringe-worthy though.
Yeah, like the guy above says. They don’t actually circumvent the DRM. They just get the switch’s key. I think there are only as many keys as there are switches, so while you could probably buy it on the gray market, with just yuzu and a site that hosts roms, you can’t do any pirating

Completely useless for me unless I need to find something historical/obscure like an old reading group website for a theory book who's page is now only available on the way back machine. I could only remember half of their official name and chatGPT was able to find it.

Not really. It means spending money rebuilding things just to maintain productivity is instead of investing in productivity multipliers.

Working in the field of robotics, I often have to write big vectors (usually computed as the result of 3D transformations) and then compute their Jacobian (their derivative with respect to several state-variables), which quickly becomes very nasty equations. I use sympy to (i) compute these big vectors, expressed in a very declarative way, (ii) compute the jacobian and (iii) export the results in C-code, immediately importable in my code case.

To illustrate what I mean by "expressing systems of equations in a declarative way", here is a toy-example of how to estimate the position of the a sensor with respect to a robot's center if you have access to a dataset containing robot positions and the sensor positions. The 'naive' approach (it very often works) is to solve an over-constrained system with a gradient-descent. To perform a gradient descent, you need a residual function and its jacobian. Here's how you would do to compute it with Sympy. (Note: you'd just have to define the `transform` and `invert` functions...)

# Pose of a sensor in robot frame (to be estimated)
xa, ya = symbols("xa, ya")
a = Matrix([xa, ya, ta])

# Position of the robot at time t
rx, ry, rt = symbols("rx, ry, rt")
rk = Matrix([rx, ry, rt])

# Measure of the sensor at time t
gx, gy = symbols("gx, gy")
gk = Matrix([gx, gy, 0])

# Estimated x (from the measures)
estimated_a = transform(invert(rk), gk)

# compute the norm of the gk, squared
n2_mat = norm2(estimated_a - a)
n2 = sympy.collect(sympy.expand(n2_mat[0, 0]), a).simplify()

# Compute the jacobian
J = n2_mat.jacobian([xa, ya, ta])

# Print what is necessary for Guass-Markov regression
print("\n\nres =", n2)
print("\nJacobian = ", J)

While I do agree, I think there's another effect that runs in reverse of this:

I had a goal to get to a certain weight. I passed that goal, but I don't know when. I was putting forth real effort, I was doing all the things you need to do. It wasn't a montage, I wasn't skipping anything.

Here's what I think happened: Small effects are huge in the long term. Every day I was losing a few grams of fat, to the point that it was never a dramatic swing that I could say "I made it!". From day to day, the number on the scale went up and down, and at some point, it never went above my goal number again.

NOTE: I actually don't encourage losing weight to a certain number - this is just for simplicity. The number is a small part of the goal. I actually have goal pants and shirt next to the scale and lately the scale hasn't moved, but the clothes fit better.

If health is your goal, please track more than one thing.
Yup, a lot of them, specially in posts that post interesting facts etc. I mute every account like that, and get a lot better experience now.

So called slow-thinking may not be an all around trait, but rather specific mode in some contexts.

Do you generally experience slow physiological and neural reactions? In other words is it a 'hardware' limitation?

My guess, in your case it may be more about specific contexts. Some topics/domains may not be your forte, so to speak, yet you could be familiar with them enough to get engaged.

So a reasonable choice could be not to engage into debates, instead take a role of a talk show host which encourages guests to talk and tell. It's a win-win case, the other side shines, you learn about the person and the topic.

Eventually you'd know which topics are "yours". It's not possible to know everything, yet it's very much possible to listen to anything (unless it's a preschooler asking for ice-cream non-stop).

Also, exercising your memory may be of great help in life in general. Fast recall saves you more time for processing the information.
The EU doesn't invest, the EU provides subsidies with many strings attached. One of the strings usually is "can't be used to pay shareholders" (as in wages, not just dividends). Also, the subsidies are usually provided after the fact (e.g. a project is completed) and you need a loan to actually do the project. That's a risk, and banks don't like providing loans to small companies without predictable cashflow; they would do it only if a shareholder with enough assets personally underwrites it - another huge risk, now a startup can destroy your whole life.

If you meant the investors of EU - please show me where you got the data, because the official EU data suggest otherwise. People simply aren't that rich around here, which is a downstream effect of the much slower, smaller economy.

In an abstract sense, floating-point division is a fundamentally different operation than integer division. There is not generally expected to be a remainder fron floating-point division aside from 0.5 ULP that will be rounded away.

If you use it without considering rounding modes carefully and then round to integer, you can get some funny results.
That’s how comments also work in the Dart language and I really like it. Happy to see this change.
I sometimes wonder what western historians will think when they study this era 100 years from now? Will they think of this movement as a radicals capturing various institutions for political gains? Will they think of it as an innocent attempt to do good but went too far? or perhaps just a fashion movement that faded by then..

Perhaps it's the lack of spirituality that has driven people so insane that they latch on to anything that promises them virtues. Nietzsche once said "God is dead", but what did we replace it with?

In any case, it's amusing to watch it all enfold right in front of your eyes.

Thank you for providing something concrete. The original comment seemed like hyperbole to me, and now I’m leaving here better informed.

I do think this senate report is a little bit butthurt that their own regulations and trade agreements have enabled the business model.

It seems like it would be trivial to block out platforms in violation of US law via pressure by payment networks. That’s where I’m confused at the level of inaction given that this report includes a screenshot of a product page in violation. Visa and Mastercard can get Pornhub to vet their “suppliers” but they can’t do the same for Temu? They don’t even need a court order to do this.
Sometimes I wonder where Firefox might be today if, in the last 10 years, it had competent leadership singularly focused on delivering the absolute best browser in existence.
You can copy files into the container before it starts. Testcontainers provides APIs for this.
There is exactly one form of organization that wants the sort of Gleichschaltung that comes from this sort of tool, and it is not funded voluntarily.
Doing [4] yourself doesn't take a lot of time, but the time savings adds up.

That said, I wouldn't recommend using the standard ChatGPT interface for generating code -- just use a solution that integrates with your IDE/editor, and use it as some kind of coding autocomplete. (You can sometimes even trick the AI to converse with you in the comments, eg. /* Question: what is the gcc option to enable all warnings? Answer: <wait for completion>... ), so it can be super convenient when you just have a random question while typing code in your IDE or editor.

100% would recommend everyone to try it out.

Plus worth mentioning that Firefox has native support for real user stylesheets with own origin layer, just as specified by standards. It is userConent.css file in the "chrome" folder in the profile directory. Slightly cumbersome compared to Stylus' provided "UserCSS" injections, but I think it is super important for any user agent to keep this functionality that is by the way required for CSS2.1+ compliance, and UAAG [1]

And also, to my knowledge, Firefox is one of few browsers that lets you (still) hack its interface ("chrome") through css (userChrome.css in aforementioned folder). [2]

I like what X has become.

I follow a small group of people and friends, none of whom are too popular. But instead of opening the app and seeing them, I get forced to some "For You" page full of spam, scams, and Elon tweets.

A bunch of commenters claim they don't see any of this and I wonder if they are on whatever the paid plan is called, in some favorable A/B category, or just flat-out lying. Everywhere I look is fulling of gambling ads, crypto scams, drop-shipping scams, community notes about those scams with their own scams in them, and of course, adolescent Elon tweets[1].

Whenever I tweet something high quality (interesting finding or howto), I almost never see any activity metrics for it. At best gets a view or two. Sometimes I'll ask a friend for feedback on a tweet I just made, but they are unable to find it.

So this has led me to check X maybe once a week or less. I used to read through my follow timeline once a week, but with the ads and the spam/scam replies in threads I've kind of drifted down to glancing at my follow list on occasion.

It's great. Between what's happened with Twitter and Reddit, I've freed up so much more time and brain space that I wasn't aware I was expending. And you don't get FOMO for low quality content, spam, and scams.

1. This isn't a politically-motivated jab, I'm politically-moderate. It's more "Elon is the same age as me, but he acts more like my adolescent kids than a man."

Edit: I like that I posted this comment and in the half second it took to post, it's been downvoted. I think HN might have a bot problem?
> the spirit of their argument is clearly not wrong.

Uh, the jury’s out on that seeing as how the parent didn’t give any specifics other than some hand waving about “issues with other containerized workflows.” OK, elaborate on that please, otherwise the parent isn’t really making a valid point or may be misinformed about the current state of Testcontainers w.r.t. to these vague “other containerized workflows.”
Nonsense.

Nintendo bring this in themselves with their own policies.

There are so many hardware platforms I can support, and one that hardly ever does sales and refuses to bring their games to other platforms is not that appealing.

I buy games on PC, I buy games on XB, I've even rebought some games between the platforms to play couch co-op with my kid.

Steam and XB have enough sales to make this an option, Nintendo on the other hand is adamant about wringing every last penny from you.

These days I don't have time for Nintendo's nonsense. They want to live in their walled garden, they can have it.
Container tabs for me is the killer app. being able to stop google work creeping into my personal youtube is really useful for me
It is probably best to look at this as a matter of talking to the right individuals. I've often bumped into the kind of individuals you seem to be looking for at conferences, meetups in NYC, etc.

My business partner from a while back also had very good luck prospecting this kind of person on LinkedIn and getting calls from them to discuss their needs, what they think about various products on the markets, etc. (Now only if we were that good at closing the deal!)

> Slow thinkers, how do you compensate for your lack of quick-wittedness?

1) It may be that you aren't a slow thinker but a bad translator.

2) I prepare 70% of a conversation in my head (I may never use it).

3) My first drafts are awful. Second and third can be worse. The 30% is the bit I'm less likely to ruin on delivery.

4) I used early social media to learn to trim multiple paragraphs down to sentence. I'm still learning it.

Counterpoint when using mocks - if Bs behavior changes, one may not remember to update A’s test which would be falsely passing.

This problem is exacerbated if B is a popular object used by many components.

IMO if you own A and B, never use mock. Possibly write a Fake B if B is non deterministic or slow. Then write a parity test for B and Fake B
> Sure, integration tests "save" you from writing pesky unit tests, and changing them frequently after every refactor.

The DB migration has "ADD COLUMN rateLimit INT"

The application class member is annotated with "@Column(name=”ratelimit”, nullable=true)"

The failure is at the interface between the app and the DB. What testcontainers does is allow you to write a quasi-unit test (not a truly full-blown integration test, but testing a small piece of functionality) across the boundary of two components. I am not aware of a way to reasonably unit test for this error. That might just be me -- seriously if there is a tried strategy for unit testing things like this I'd love to know it.

Re-iterating what others have commented: quick-wittedness isn't "thinking fast" in the same way as you think slow, it's a different variety of thinking that comes with practice.

I've always been a slow thinker, & always discounted quick-wittedness as a skill others had innately. Recently I've found myself being a bit more quick-witted & what's remarkable it's not something I "think" about (at least actively). It's something that comes out from a different place (subconscious?) & does so more & more with practice. E.g. take referential connections: I used to be amazed that people could connect things in conversation so quickly because my mind simply doesn't connect things that quickly - but I think it's more like the pre-connected reference bubbles up from deep in your subconscious pre-made; you don't think about the referential route.
