> The issue is that moving from synchronous API calls to asynchronous message passing introduces new complexity. It's not suitable for every problem.

This has been a problem I've been trying to solve for years! Surprisingly, it's a fun problem space, mostly because I disagree that it isn't suitable for every problem.

The solution I've been converging on is quite interesting, essentially a non-linear programming language that you write linearly (similar to how CPU branch prediction runs code that hasn't executed yet ... just on a more abstract level). It's pretty neat in how it works under the hood, but on the programmer level, it feels like just another programming language; but like erlang/elixir, the execution can be spread all over the world, or just your machine.

Probably one of the coolest things was when I got optimistic mirroring working, where local code will "predict" what distant code will do and then allow your local code to run to completion but not commit the result until the remote code agrees with the prediction -- and if it disagrees the code has to rerun that portion.

Fun stuff, but still probably a few years away from a HN post about it... it's just a fun side-research project atm.
Wait, you are seriously going to trust them after this rugpull?

You should be running away
More or less yes. I certainly don't need facebook to keep in contact with them.
Of course it's serious. It's serious enough for Ukrainians to be dying every day for the defense of their nation.

Russians are dying every day too. Putin can save many Russian lives with a simple order to get out of Ukraine.

Putin plainly values his vanity over the lives of the Russian people.
I am huge fan of Sheila Maurice-Grey and Kokoroko. She plays super chill like Miles too.

I would put Cassie Kinoshi on sax as my fav sax player too.

I don't know how any Jazz fan could not love Kokoroko.
> It's like saying in JavaScript the "const" -keyword is distracting

Though like you can optionally use const (for varying degres of optional depending on your local coding style rules), you can optionally highlight formulas using conditional formatting based on the ISFORMULA() function.

It does seem like something that makes sense to be a built-in though.
Before phones was it a social contract that you couldn't talk to someone far away, or was it just a reality of a technology not yet invented?
Unfortunately, Thames Water infrastructure, once state-of-the-art, is really old and it shows. It needs some serious investment to bring it to modern standards.

In Oxford, I have noticed raw sewage floating in the river several times. Things were pretty bad and authorities have sometimes issued a warning to potential swimmers.

In the market town Thame, next to the eponymous river Thames, there were frequent leaks to the main street pavement. Really disgusting and sad as it is otherwise a very cool area.
What is the gap? I had some no name amazon one that was almost OK but it was in its own walled garden. Maybe I could flash it, who knows? But either way it was like $35 and connected to my wifi, lasted 3-4 weeks, and had a good enough video quality to see if I got a package or not. I would continue using it but a recent change of terms of service rendered it next to useless unless I subscribe. I would assume similar hardware would be available with maybe no os preinstalled?
> In aviation specifically the standards and practices for the industry are widely available (start with the public domain retrospectives from Project Apollo).

Startup chaos has never been about documentation not being available. There is an almost infinite amount of useful and relevant material that the average startup ignores.

> SpaceX does not seem to be struggling beyond what I would expect to develop a new heavy lift system.

Exactly. We expect some rockets to explode and some rockets did indeed explode. They aren't the safest machines on the planet. If SpaceX was expected to have no exploding rockets, they wouldn't be able to operate their business.

> I actually agree with you in broad terms, we do have too much hard to follow regulation - but Aviation isn't one of those cases - every rule we have in that sector was paid for in lives.

I counter-agree, but ... spending lives is acceptable. We already accept it in all sorts of fields for more trivial things than aerospatial success. If people dying is unacceptable, it is literally impossible to run a civilisation; we don't know how to do mining, forestry and construction without the occasional death. And the first thing that'd go is people doing deliveries on motorcycles, where we have this mysterious tolerance for risk.

We should have consistent standards, not randomly high standards for aerospace. It is bizarre that people can just accept someone getting on a motorbike but it is controversial for Boeing to exist as an independently managed company after around 2x plane crashes.

Somewhat of a tangent, but I never miss an opportunity to tell the story of why I will never use a credit card from Citi.

Circa 2000CE: I was in college, living in the dorms. The person working in the mail-room at the dorms was somewhat unmotivated, leading to mail often ending up in the wrong mailbox. Sunday night, someone gives me a Citi card bill that is due on Tuesday. Monday morning, I call customer service and let them know the situation. I will mail them a check before the due date, and I would like to get a grace period on the late-fee and interest. CS rep informs me that they cannot do that, but can do an electronic funds transfer from my checking account for a $10 fee. I was rather astonished at this, and told them to do the EFT and cancel my account.

I should note that Discover (my other credit card at the time) and my next major credit card (95% certain it was Chase) both encountered similar situations and handled it reasonably.
"we could see significant cooling effects"

Cooling? Cutting down on (CO2/CH4) emissions will likely merely slow the heating effects somewhat, that are already locked in.

Think of a slightly slower boiled frog instead of one going skiing for a laugh.
Launch: Product Stocks. Buy and Sell Virtual Product Stocks
Agree. The box is also a deceptively difficult pattern that looks very simple on first glance.
Hello HN, I am the founder of Product Stocks.

One of the biggest problems of launching an MVP is getting some early traffic to test out the idea. So to solve this problem I launched Product Stocks to gamify visiting startups.

Here is how it works: users visit listed startups, later they buy or short their virtual stocks. Good products' market cap goes up, bad product's market cap goes down. Investors compete in generating the biggest virtual $.

If sounds interesting, here it is: https://productstocks.com/

I hope you will like it.

No, there isn't a shorter version. In fact I would need about 5x the word count to make my argument clearer.

I am still digging through the 54-page paper to try to find the data set for this "death penalty" test to tell if there is anything there beyond "people who use more violent language tend to be viewed as more violent".

They do comment on the dialect issue: << Appalachian English evokes them to a certain extent (m = 0.015, s = 0.030, t(89) = 4.8, p < .001), but much less strongly than AAE (m = 0.029, s = 0.053, t(89) = 5.3, p < .001), a trend that holds for all language models individually (Figure S11, Table S14). The difference between AAE and Appalachian English is found to be statistically significant by a twosided t-test, t(178) = 2.3, p < .05. The fact that Appalachian English is associated with the Katz and Braly (1933) stereotypes to a certain extent is not surprising since the two dialects share many linguistic features (e.g., usage of ain’t), and the stereotypes about Appalachians bear similarities with the stereotypes about African Americans (e.g., lack of intelligence; Luhman, 1990) >>
Might want to add the year to the movie titles in the autocomplete. In today's puzzle, the title for both the 60s movie and the 2000s movie show up in the list and there's no way to differentiate them other than guessing. I guessed wrong.

Other than that, lovely idea and implementation!
Well sure, my comment does not apply outside its intended scope. But for your scope, the article implies that this is not an esoteric, half baked thing - that it's real right now. So maybe if I were in your shoes that's where I'd look.

I'm really glad this is possible, because it's important for dispelling conspiracy theories.

Plenty of people are convinced that Facebook's apps spy on them through their microphone and use that to show them targeted ads.

The easiest way to disprove this is to monitor the traffic between the apps and Facebook's servers... but certificate pinning prevents this!

It doesn’t surprise me that one part the status rat race (selective summer programs) cares about another (after-school activities). The big question is how do either of these play into your kid’s overall life satisfaction. You just have to get over the tragedy of them going to U Michigan instead of Cornell.
Would you apply the same logic if the male-female gender ratio here was say 80-20%, 95-5%, or 100-0%, or is it only applied selectively?
The fundamental issue here is discoverability. There is no benefit to having these symbols, since you could easily have some kind of button the UI to switch between symbols and words. It would be far better if you tab completed the actual name of a function rather than typing some arbitrary sequence of characters to get a symbol of questionable function. You won't ever replace Excel if the first step to using your product is memorising a huge dictionary of strange runes.

I think a good language for replacing spreadsheets would be Scheme, or something similar. You can teach it to someone very quickly as the syntax is quite minimal. Provided functions are given human readable names, I think it could be very intuitive. You would also need to offer some kind of graphical editor for the code. Lisp has wins here as well since you could likely translate the code into a graph without much issue. However it would also be good to allow the inverse of such transformations.

If you really want to nit, the only function of a clutch is to slip during start from standstill. All other steps of driving can be done without touching the clutch pedal and with less wear, including shifting and stopping. That's just not a nice way to drive.

If you don't press the clutch during a stop, you risk increasing your stopping distance both due to engine inertia and due to it fighting back below idle - especially in a diesel van. We only have muscle memory when we panic, and it's bad if someone is taught in a way that makes them miss a pedal.

That's also part of why you are taught with stick over here - better be trained to press a pedal too much than a pedal too little. If you do take the license in an automatic, you get a mark on your license disallowing you from driving stick.
It would surprise me a lot of the same effect was not detected, with significant stronger effect, when the covert bias being studied is gender rather than race. I would also bet that linguistic features that signal wealth would also provide a bias.
In the settings you can set how much force is needed, light, medium, or firm. Try changing it to light (if you haven't already). You can also enable tap-to-click there if you prefer the lightest touch. The settings area also shows all the various multitouch things that can be done, which is convenient place to learn them, or get a reminder.

In the settings you can also flip the modifier keys around, like control and command. Though that could lead to other weird things like trying to do control+c in the terminal. I usually use my ring and index, or middle finger and index. If you're using pinky for control, why switch to the thumb when you can use a closer finger that would be over command with your hand in the same position?

I will say the command+c does get a bit cramped, but I think command+v feels better than the stretch of control+v.
I see.

If you can move a mouse cursor by a single pixel, that would seem to be enough fidelity to scroll by a single pixel. I've never seen a touchpad that didn't meet that criteria. But then I've never used a touchpad in linux. And maybe I'm just wrong about everything. Wouldn't be the first time.
Wouldn't work for me without the ability to add other exercises. I'm also not familiar with a lot of these exercises, so descriptions and images would be very helpful.

If most of my employees can’t understand the way someone speaks or writes, it’s likely that person will have problems communicating ideas within the organization.

Also, by definition where? You’re just making this up, there isn’t an authoritative dictionary or even regulation that states judging fitness for a job based on the dialect of English a person speaks is “bias.” If there was, surely you would have provided a link instead of just asserting your own correctness.
Honestly I think the best way to explain this is: TikTok is devouring market share held by the major news outlets and Facebook. Both of which are heavily invested in the current American political class, and visa versa.

Despite all the pearl clutching, this has nothing to do with preventing foreign propaganda and everything about preserving home grown propaganda and Fidelity account balances.

Even pass alignment and bias considerations, the fact that larger models saw such a rise of covert racism should worry us about a general regression to the mean in other contexts.

There was a post last week about the problem of LLMs being biased twords ideals even with averages.

IMHO if LLMs are cutting off the long tail of probabilities as they scale this is a regression from the benefits attention and over Parameterization provide.

We already know self ingestion of generative content can cause this.

So potentially it may have impacts on the value of that investment.

Yes, also to be clear, I am not from US and neither am I a native English speaker, but to me it's obvious that in professional or business context a person must put effort in to have seemingly clear and formal English, unless they are known as this highly skilled, experienced and an eccentric character so they could potentially pull off writing in however they please.

So I would imagine that any deviation of this expected norm would yield in a result that might be perceived as more "stupid or lazy", whether it's street dialect, US southern, redneck dialect, teenager dialect, mix with other languages or otherwise.

So my point is - that it's measuring a correlation from the standard, professional, business English, rather than it being anything to do with racism.
Ideally AI wouldn't exist at all, but if it must exist, I'd rather it default to telling you to RTFM. Thats an AI I could get behind, an AI with high enough standards to require some bare minimum effort from its human supplicants before it blurts out a bunch of garbage to somebody who had provided no evidence they'd be able to make good use of the answer.

The safest AI is an AI that is a complete asshole. Instead we get condescension.
Everything Putin is doing is worsening Russia's security situation.

As a direct result of Russia's war, NATO has expanded and Russia is now very much in China's pocket. China is quite happy to have Russia as a vassal state.

Russia had a mini civil war with Prigozhin's rebellion. Russians have been killing Russians.

Russia's life expectancy was already lower than that of developed countries and this pointless war of choice is steadily killing off an entire generation of young Russians.
That's the spin of those two observers. But there was a lot to more to the actual chain of events at the time.

And lo and behold, the fact of two guys stating a certain narrative about those events (then embellished up a bit by the publications quoting them) does not make it so. Even the article you're citing about Arahamiya's version of events isn't so clear-cut about the matter (it says Boris's advice was but one factor among many) as you're making it out to be.

This is a big one. Something I found really impressive, even on the first iPhone in 2007, was that it felt like my finger was moving the display itself, rather than performing a gesture to elicit an action. I feel the same way about the macOS trackpad, it feels almost connected to what is on screen. Other systems usually have that gesture/response feeling, which doesn't feel good natural to use.
That's uhh... exactly what I said?
I am suffering that ever since I switched to wayland and the newer GTK version that supports it.

Turns out, in classic GNOME fashion, there's no setting to disable inertia scroll.

And I hate it. I hate it. I hate it.

It is the same problem with smooth scroll, or as I call it "laggy scroll", which forces me to watch an animation, when I made it clear (by scrolling) that I want to be seeing the scroll destination already. That's why I scrolled in the first place!
