People seemingly keep forgetting that you can have direct installs and alternate stores on Android but somehow Play Store is still dominant.
You're still bounded by memory bandwidth, so adding multiples to FLOPs is not going to give you a good representation of overall speedup.
> Whether it's trivial or not depends totally on the workflow.

People here are talking about language defaults, and that the default should be safe, and while, yes, technically you can construe a workflow they're not going to work for, they work for most.

That doesn't prevent your ARCHER simulation from calling — hopefully only at sites that profiling indicates need it — .yolo_at(legit_index_totes) (or whatever one might call the method) & segfaulting after burning a few days worth of CPU time away.
My children went to kindergarten (barnehage) in Norway when they were about three and a half and speaking English well. Well with a year they were indistinguishable from the native children.
I'm excited about Darklang
At this point the only option to hold police accountable is at the ballot box. The voters need to vote for politicians who will change the system. Or not, if we're getting what we want.

This is similar to a shareholder action for a public company that is being run poorly (however you define that), but where the board is also complicit. No choice except to vote for new board members. If you want, and care enough, and can get enough others to care enough also.
Is there a 4th level? The 3rd is supposed to be the top - knowledge based economy focused on providing services rather than resources or manufacturing. That's why it seems once you're in a 3rd level economy, there's not other massive jump. It's all efficiency gains or shifting to other problem areas. Then you add in the other economies that are moving up to 3rd level and it seems there's an oversupply at that level where not locally confined such as a plumber.
Slightly tangential -- anyone knows how does libSQL compare to upstream SQLite for shipping with a desktop app or in the browser via wasm?

Edit: I've read the readme, hoping for a take from anyone who gave it a try
> Emu on the other hand are small and relatively docile

Emus are so weirdly neurotic and aggressive, I hate being around them. If an Ostrich is even more unpredictable than an Emu it's hard to imagine farming them would even be possible.
A similar concept that is (IMHO) much nicer: RSV

It doesn't need any escaping or quoting: a field just has to be valid UTF-8.

The trick is that the delimiters are bytes that are invalid UTF-8.

The spec fits on a napkin, parsing is trivial, you can jump to the middle of a doc and find the nearest row, etc.

Main downside is you need an editor/viewer that can handle it.

I ended up getting annoyed with the autocomplete feature taking over things such as snippet expansion in vscode, so I turned it off personally. I felt that the battling against the assistant made around a break even productivity gain overall. Except for regular expressions, that I have basically offloaded to AI almost in its entirety for non trivial things.
I've replaced it with 'media' at the top. When I say something like that, I just mean the big media websites and they way they cover often-sensational stories.

Usually I say "major media" to avoid misunderstandings like this. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...
There are classes of parking garages too. I’m not parking my hypothetical dream Ferrari next to some poor person’s beat up Honda civic from the 90’s to get dinged and the windows broken. The underground parking garage at Apple must be astounding.

Because BASIC is a programming language (and was included with DOS, cf MS BASIC)

DOS won because it offered a consistent way to manage your files and applications, it was "better" than CPM, and it was available on more machines than anything else. (DOS didn't win. The PC won. DOS tagged along)

It's worth noting that it didn't, for a long time, "win" the home computer market. That was wildly diverse, until PCs were good & cheap enough to replace home computers. And at that point, sheer prevalence started squeezing out home machines. That world ended, more or less, with the Atari ST and the Amiga 500 - because both of those were great, and both were niche tools.

PCs were the thing that you could use for games and work stuff. It turns out "getting stuff done" matters much more to people than engaging in purity debates.

(Also relevant in this context: https://www.dreamsongs.com/RiseOfWorseIsBetter.html)
They've still never actually defined what an "ultra-processed food" even is.

Is it ketchup? Is it protein powder? Is it infant formula? Is it plant-based meat? Is it banana bread?

Is it based on the number of ingredients? Is it based on a preparation method?

This is the core problem with just about every article or study on UPFs
I have read it. I defines how much money the company needs to be making the EU and how many users they need to have. Sure, it's targeting big companies.

The LED example you gave is actually a great one: I don't think the regulator cares if you're using LED or not. The intention is to reduce the usage of lightbulbs that aren't as energy efficient as modern technology allows them to be. If you can make a incandescent lightbulb that is as efficient, good for you. No one has targeted incandescent light.

Same here. Yes, companies this size are almost only American (and Chinese). That doesn't mean that American companies were the target.

But voters have to stick with said politician while they rebuild the security force.

If a politician, who is technically the boss, starts to clean house of the unified and armed tribe supposedly meant to work for the people of the city, the tribe will usually make quality of life for everyone go down, if not just from the myriad legal challenges, but also from work slowdowns and stoppage.

So then the question is will voters stand by the politician while crime goes up and unsolved for the 10+ years it takes to rebuild a more accountable police force (which isn’t a guarantee either).
It gives the government more power, essentially. If tiktok is banned, it opens the doors to ban other apps and imports.

Although I could care less if it's banned or not, I think the world would be a better place without it. Likewise for Instagram, et al.
Huberman lost all credibility with the science and medical community years ago, lol
I don't think so. Neither my native nor adopted tongues are English. My native tongue actually has more syllables than the adopted one, for some lowish numbers. Yet, I still count in my native tongue, e.g., when counting the reps while lifting weights.

I'd say I speak better my adopted tongue than my native one. People from my country say I speak with an accent, while locals are surprised to learn I'm a foreigner, since I speak with no accent. When I think about things, I also use my adopted language (I went to school here, so it's easier, since I've learned the concepts in this language). Hell, I sometimes use English for my internal thinking. Just not when counting or adjacent tasks.
There’s always going to be a grey area in the middle, but actual spam in a can, and totally prepared microwave dinners are clearly in that category.
I've had Ostrich meat once and didn't particularly like it.

Recently had to learn how to force a Prius to use the brakes, as the rotors were rusting up & starting to pit!

I could not get my partner to brake hard enough to really engage the brakes. They just would not do it, would not brake hard enough to actually use the real brakes, no matter the prompting & even knowing how critical it was that we start to de-rust these rotors.

What I found out is: if you put the car in neutral, there won't be regenerative braking, & the car will use the actual brakes. That's the only way I could get my partner to use the actual brakes.
Are you kidding me, I'd say it's 80% people hyping up AI.
Dark Sky was just the name of a weather app that included that feature earlier than Apple's weather app.

But things like "rain in X mins" is a feature multiple providers & apps have (including Apple once they bought Dark Sky), it's not specifically what Dark Sky was nor is it exclusive to them/Apple. (And actually, Dark Sky was probably the best weather app all round, yet Apple despite buying them and using some of their tech still produce one of the worst weather apps in my experience.)
ok that's a scenario I didn't fully consider, lmao.

but humor aside, the point stands. safety/security is about tradeoffs.
The ORM API is very reminiscent of Drizzle, which I think was a great call on Astro's side. I have so far only used Astro for SSG, but seeing code like this [1] has me interested to see how far it can go for SSR tasks that you might currently use metaframeworks such as Next/Nuxt/SolidStart/SvelteKit for.

All true!

I guess more precise definitions of "popular" could be constructed, but that's the simplest one and I went with it, especially as it isn't particularly invasive or creepy (we're just counting how many people have a certain linked part in their database, think of it as a counter per linked part that gets incremented if somebody adds a part and decremented if they delete the part).
I've encountered that as well. Someone at work tells me a number of something to check in English, I have to write it down. I can't even see the number in my head. It's the complete opposite if someone tells me say a phone number in Polish. I lived less than a year outside of the US since October 1981.
I believe they would be allowed to charge for the SDK and the dev tools as long as they don’t require developers to use that SDK and the dev tools. I’m sure someone else would provide an alternative SDK and tooling then.
Are there alternatives to fig for linux? Seems like amazon code whisperer is macos only.
My first sizable programming job in high school was with one of these, I think. A special education teacher had written an app to create a Blissymbolics <https://www.blissymbolics.org> communicator and hired me to tune it up, because some of his more prolific students had mastered more symbols than the app could readily handle.

I spent quite some time with the machine, and felt it was fairly capable for the time (my reference being CBM a.k.a. PET desktops).
At one time, it was extremely fashionable to say "use a blockchain for [random thing]", and much VC funding was ploughed into it. As far as I can see, it all came to naught.

"There are some exceptions to Apple's 30% cut of digital sales, and Apple's figures are rough, which means that Apple's App Store total sales is likely even higher. Sensor Tower, an app analytics firm, estimates that the App Store did $72.3 billion in sales 2020."

So... 72 billion in 2020.. probably even more now.

I've observed my kiddo when he was a toddler and I think there might be an inflection point when they are very young and don't speak so well, when they might be able to learn any language with ease, precisely because they don't recognize let alone speak even their own so well. I recall my kid was watching TV and all and at some point while eating he pointed to a drawing on a cocoa box and said "monkey!" in English, and indeed it was a monkey. Must have picked it up from cartoons or something.

But then there's a point of no return when they learn enough native language from which point on any attempt at a foreign one becomes deliberate practice that requires effort. And this point of no return follows very early from the point when they start to speak.
Crusing is much more efficient than one pedal driving. So it does not save power at all.

There's an incredible new ultralight titanium folding bow saw called the Brautigam BEW saw made by a cottage gear maker called Brautigam expedition works if anyone is in the market for a new backpacking saw. You can store extra blades inside of the saw itself when its in collapsed form and the quality to weight ratio is pretty incredible.
When the subpoena comes from the government, it seems potentially short-sighted to assume that the same government is going to be as kind as your manager regarding a random user's complaint.

Also, like the article explains, it is possibly illegal for them to send this warrantless subpoenas. Further, they are not simply "asking," as you describe - the text of the subpoena starts off "We command you," and ends with the explicit threat of legal action if twitter fails to comply.
I drive a Tesla Model 3, a few thoughts:

* I'm hard on brakes in general, but have over 70k miles on the original pads. Regen braking reduces brake use a LOT.

* Regen does NOT bring the car to a complete stop, the brakes are blended in below something like 5 MPH. The rotors are not going to rust away, they see action every time you drive. (Some surface rust is fine and normal, EV or no.)

* EVs can be heavier than ICE cars, and most are. There are many things I dislike about Tesla, but the Model 3 is a feather weight in the category. A comparison I like to make is to the AWS Dodge Charger, which is heavier by a couple hundred pounds. I won't even talk about trucks and SUVs.
JNI Bind
Also unaddressed is what the NYPD intended to do with all that information.

> (1) iPhone and Android had exactly the same problem when they launched.

Sure, competitors could have started in 2009, too bad it's 2024 though now.

Anyway, the proof is in the pudding, there's no competitor in the past 10 years despite a big revenue potential, that's the reason.

> (2) Web apps are a thing.

They aren't good enough, and if they were don't worry every company would try to avoid paying the high store tax. (Hence why it's not going to happen)

> (3) This problem would still exist if iOS didn't exist.

Yes, that's why we need open standards to lower the barrier of competition.
My impression from having asked people about this exact problem—I meet plenty of recent immigrants here in Paris—is this goes away quickly if you have to, say, work a customer-facing job where handling money is part of your duties, but much slower otherwise.

(Of course, you can also simulate that experience by drilling this for ten minutes a day until it becomes second nature.)
I have been using Linux for over 25 years and love it but I no longer use it as my main OS. I still choose Linux for any type of server but I use macOS for development. I also use Linux for tinkering and trying new things. I know this will sound cliche, but I use macOS for development because not only is it a powerful Unix environment, “it just works” and if I am being paid based on what I produce, I want to use the tool that helps me to be the most productive.
Hmm I don't know, if I were a whistleblower I wouldn't really
care what my colleagues would think.

Also, many of his colleagues probably admire him. They are also aware of the problems and presumably want them fixed.

I gather that whistleblower claims are generally about systemic and management issues, and not "Bob from accounting is a stupid idiot."
13% unassisted is crazy. That's probably half the performance of an intern that costs ~100k/year.

> Much of the user data they have access to is drying up due to new regulations, some of which prohibit IIRC direct use on models as well.

Source would be appreciated, because this is opposite of obvious. Regulations against using public first party would be a big news and I haven't heard of anything like that. They use my data for recommending feed so why not for answering my question?
Yeah, I started poking at Vite to see how much work it would take to build an island-architecture-for-preact tool on top of it. It looks doable.

Out of curiosity, when you're building a mostly static site that might want occasional islands of interactivity, what do you reach for instead?
> Shameless plug but I discuss this issue on my blog:

I would say first make it easy to do the right thing, making them care will be an Eternal September.
It doesn't look good to me. I'm not sure what I should be preparing my kids to do for work in a couple decades from now. It can't look that much different than today, but I still can't imagine what the good jobs with long futures might be. I make fun of the surveys that say Gen Z want to be influencers and stuff, but that's probably just as realistic as believing they can build a software career building CRUD apps that could last until 2060.
I threw something together to address that goal. It was really hard to render obsidian-md into html that looked about the same. I started with general MD libs, then ultimately used obsidian-html. Obsidian's MD is not standard at all, though I'm not sure any MD is fully specified since there are so many edge cases.

Of course they do. They're the military for the country of New York City. There's also an intelligence bureau with overseas offices too. They regularly conduct undercover buys at gun shops in foreign nations like Ohio and Virginia. Personally I hope that they'll sign peace treaties with these other places someday.

"Devin's Upwork Side Hustle"

I wonder how much time of this was consumed by manually directing Devin into the right direction, manually fixing and undoing the mess Devin produced and watching Devin burn through $$$. As others said, being completely non-transparent about this burns a bit of trust, but I'd really like to know where we are right now. Since Devin is currently "invite only demos", a more realistic peek into the state of the art can be seen here: https://docs.sweep.dev/blogs/gpt-4-modification

My gut feeling (and limited experience): gpt-4 and other models are not quite there yet, but whoever prepares for the next generation of models now will eventually win big times. Or be replaced by simpler approaches.
Well, those smaller floats require less BW to transfer back and forth as well. Perhaps not a reduction linear in the size of the float, as maybe smaller floats require more iterations and/or more nodes in the model graph to get an equivalent result.

But rest assured there's an improvement, it's not like people would be doing it if there wasn't any benefit!
The defensiveness is entirely understandable. There's a very vocal contingent of the industry who is increasingly hostile to anyone who dares to say that C/C++ isn't pure evil. Defensiveness is the natural reaction to that sort of thing.
Lobbying and marketing.

Police make money and provide services for profitable corporations.

Taxes cost profitable corporations money, except when they're really annoying to deal with, in which case they give money to a small group of corporations.

So taxes are designed to be as irritating and painful as possible, and are continually attacked, whereas police are defended.
Until you can point out via video what is the issue(“see? Here it flickers a bit and here needs centering” or when you talk to the “swe agent” and say we need this feature taken out for now, and later you ask it to put the feature back in and it remembers it had code implemented at GitHub commit id xxyyzz, you really can’t call this a software engineer
That's fine. Not every citizen has to actively use every right made available to them by the law. That doesn't diminish its value for the ones who do need it.
I want a readily available Unix-like terminal, good battery life, slim laptops, and to never have to deal with hardware compatibility or fighting with config files for the OS.

There’s a parallel universe where chromebooks had a more functional stock local terminal, or Windows did WSL much earlier, where I’d be using one of those options.
I can't speak for hummus, but I've noticed ice creams with guar gum, xantham gum, locust bean gum, and so on, have an almost foamy texture that is quite unnatural when compared to ice creams with minimally processed ingredients (i.e. cream, milk, eggs, sugar, etc.).

My guess is hummus would suffer similarly, but I'll wait for a connoisseur to confirm.
GCC works on HP-UX, so I don't know what this is trying to prove. They can charge for Xcode whatever they want, but what does that have to do with installing apps.
What percent does an average junior engineer solve? If it is even close, these models can be run all day and night for cheaper than one yearly SWE salary.
Good to see dozens of replies to this. Means EVs are popular.

Anyway, they're right. Brakes on EVs are normally just for emergency use. Regenerative braking (lifting up on the accelerator pedal) is all you need about 98% of the time. Traffic lights, stop signs, parking, and other such planned stops are all handled by releasing the accelerator which brings the car to a gentle stop while feeding the kinetic energy back into the battery. That's what they mean by "regenerative braking".
Right, I can see your point. But I think you're too optimistic and the convergence to USB-C would be a lot slower were it not for this legislation.
I live in a non-english speaking country and sometimes go days without english at all even though its my native tounge.

I agree, the one thing I tend to still do literal translations in my head for is for numbers and arithmetic. Its just so much more cumbersome mentally for some reason to do the math in my non-native language.
Does it sell more ads? Does it get more eyeballs? Do people click on the story? Does the writer get promoted? A bonus? Is this a conspiracy against Boeing? Is the owner of the newspaper short Boeing and long Airbus? (those last four questions are /s the first two maybe less so.)

I used to laugh at those pushing "mainstream media" wild stories (e.g. from a certain portion of Americans) but Journalism isn't what it used to be, and maybe it was never what it used to be.

I do think that focus on Boeing is somewhat warranted but it's a good question how do we get a real unbiased picture. Especially given that accidents are a low probability event and it's hard to determine what happens by chance, within reason, or is really reflecting something concerning that has to be addressed and how it should be addressed. Your average Journalist is lacking the training and tools to think about these things and they wouldn't even know who is the right expert and what is the right data to look at.
