Not sure why you are scared of GPT assisted documentation. First drafts are universally garbage, honestly I expect GPT to produce a better and more accurate first draft in a fraction of the time, which should encourage a lot of people who otherwise wouldn't have documented at all to produce passable documentation.
DuckDB processes data lazily, and can easily be integrated with custom synthetic relations.

I guess it's still not really designed to work well with infinite relations, but then again neither is SQL really.
But people will not pay more than a product is worth to them. The fact that they are willing to purchase the product at a higher price point indeed does imply that that price point is still lower than the consumption utility of the product for them.
It's a term of art from the days of image recognition AI that would confidently report seeing a giraffe while looking at a picture of an ambulance.

It doesn't feel right to me either, to use it in the context of generative AI, and I'd support renaming this behaviour in GenAI (text and images both) — though myself I'd call this behaviour "mis-remembering".

Edit: apparently some have suggested "delusion". That also works for me.
I guess it depends on whether you don't trust the 737 MAX or Boeing entirely...
Because water is the most important substance to support human life and people value the convenience of having it available in a manner that they prefer.
Disagree. I will proudly write that my work is AI free.
So Erik Prince has an “encrypted phone” company with a proprietary messaging app, VPN, etc. First thought: “How could anyone possibly believe that this isn’t another FBI/Anom situation?” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANOM
But the twitter thread is full of people who seem to believe it.

>A few months ago in the chaos of Sam Altman’s ousting there were rumors that OpenAI was able to break AES-128 and AES-192. Whether or not that’s true is immaterial to the current discussion. Who knows how long it will take them to be able to break AES-256 and other schemes like it. AI is beating humans on pattern recognition tasks all the time, why assume it stops at patterns in encrypted data? If it’s not AI, quantum computers will be able to do so. A small point in Unplugged’s favor— each time a communication is established, new AES-512 keys are generated for the communication which increases the labor required to break a chain of communications compared to something like signal where key pairs are generated far less frequently.

1. lol, AI scary, buy my product

2. AES-512 is a classical encryption algorithm that is vulnerable to quantum computing

3. The people behind Signal invented the Double Ratchet Algorithm, where each message is half of a key exchange so each message is encrypted with new keys

4. Signal was one of the first major chat application to upgrade to a quantum-resistant key exchange algorithm
Isn't it a bit weird that this isn't just the standard? Like imagine if Chrome was optimized with such a superoptimizer; let the optimizer spend a couple hours every month or so when cutting a new release. Surely that has to be worth it?
It probably could[0] be done, but good luck getting an FDA approval.

[0]Speaking of smokers specifically, it is entirely possible to 'breathe' oxygenated liquid per fluorocarbons ('PFAS') which would very likely dissolve and 'wash out' tar from the lungs.
The author is actually doing something that will help with the job search, and that is reaching out by methods other than the resume.

Having a blog on the front page (coupled with the value that he can bring) should at least give him a few warm leads for job opportunities.
It's not FAANGs that do this, it's slightly smaller companies.

I have done this. My current employer offers this option if you ask for it.

Also when Facebook was first picking up Data Scientists I know people who were negotiating 500k all cash packages.
> The experimental pill that Tarsus Pharmaceuticals is testing is a formulation of lotilaner, a drug that paralyzes and kills parasites by interfering with the way that signals are passed between their nerve cells.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lotilaner

Couldn't find a good description of mechanism of action on Wikipedia. I also have nerve cells that need to communicate and damaging them just to spite a tick seems counterproductive.
All websites and all for profit AI companies must add and then display AI watermarks otherwise nothing can truly believed online and offline too
As someone who's legally blind, this has always bugged me. It's like the trend of "dark mode", I've always found it easier to see white text on a black background but it seems like a relatively recent trend that it's becoming normal for apps/sites to actually be designed with that in mind.

Also as a slight tangent, public transportation! The US being so car dependant really hinders my independence, and better public transportation would benefit everyone (except car manufacturers, I suppose)

I don't think the person you're responding to is "the Arduino type of hobbyist", though.

I feel the same, I didn't like Arduino's abstractions and how they hid what was actually going on. It has its appeals for people who don't care about the inner workings and just want to use a microcontroller to "quickly do something for which a microcontroller would be handy right now", but it won't get you much further than that, in my opinion.
Yes. Nearly all EU regulations are going to end up like that. Over-regulate and people develop blindness to regulations. Our best hope right now is that EU becomes more and more irrelevant as the gap between US and EU grows to the point American companies can simply bankroll the EU leaders.
New York does this.

I'm remote, out of state for years and still have to pay taxes on my RSUs to NY.
That’s your experience/opinion but it’s a step too far to claim ADA reqs should be applied universally and are an unalloyed good. For instance, some badly needed housing has routinely been denied because it’s too often impossible to make, say, accessory dwelling units wheelchair friendly. These ADA requirements thus limit supply, in turn raising rents, and causing real harm to younger, poorer people who are without affordable homes. Your example about contrast correction reeks of entitlement as well. I am also older, and bought a pair of reading glasses instead of expecting to push the cost onto society as a whole.
Because you're not paying for a company that cans water, you're paying for a company that has built an effective marketing apparatus which entices people to pay a premium for their canned water.

I know nothing about this companies operations (I only heard about them a few weeks ago) but I would wager money that they entirely outsource their production and distribution operations and what they consider their "secret sauce" or the actual thing which is actually valuable to future growth of the company is entirely their marketing and sales operation.

This is not (entirely) to be diminutive of what they are doing. Convincing people to spend $2/can for filtered tap water is impressive.
"Valuation" is the same reason Tesla is "worth" an absurd amount of money well beyond its means. It's all bullshit.

No one is buying this crap. Just because you see it on shelves and in chain stores doesn't mean anything.

I have friends at Walmart. Pavilions. Albertsons. And Wawa (NJ). It's a novelty beverage like any other and any speculative valuation about it is just meme financebro shenanigans.

A^w I buy a fair amount of carbonated bottled water. Like coffee and beer: something I would have hated as a child.
This is a great example as a discussion point, thank you for sharing.

I will be coming back to this video in several months time to check whether the "Altered or synthetic content" tag has actually been applied to it or not. If not, I will report it to YouTube.
I must be in as much of a bubble as the author is because I genuinely don't understand how people believe this.

This piece is centered on the media around AI, not AI itself. Tons of business people and journalists are quoted, no people who already use it in their day to day life (like I and many people here probably do), or as part of their job where it undeniably creates very real value. Or researchers who would be happy to answer the question of exactly how AI can create value, if the business people don't want to.
Wrangling 2000 Git Repos at Reddit
> There's a button on my M3 Mac keyboard that says 'delete'. It deletes stuff everywhere else, but welcome to Finder, this simple button doesn't delete a file or a folder. They thought giving it a two/three keys combination was a better idea.

It would be pretty darn annoying if an accidental key press could just delete a file!

> No 'Cut' (I know the alternatives). One might find it surprising but there are fans that defend even this move - they say it's because this is more "intuitive". You only copy everything first and only at the time of pasting you decide whether you want to move it or copy it. I say, if that's really the case, why does every other app and Editor (including the ones made by Apple) have a Cut option? Why don't we always follow this more intuitive method of "copying" first and then pressing the Option button while pasting. Let's remove Cut from everything and see how intuitive people find it.

The problem is, where does a file go in between the time you cut and you paste? If you accidentally copy something else to your clipboard, do you loose the entire file? Does the file appear in the Trash or is it deleted permanently?

You could argue that the same problem exists for non-file content (like text) which Apple allows you to cut. I think files and folders are a bigger deal, though. There's a practical limit to how much you can highlight. A folder might contain your entire life's work. (Yes, hopefully you have backups, but better to not reach that point.)

> By default, the Finder doesn't even tell you where you are. That's a basic requirement from a File Manager. Sure, fiddle with the settings and at some place you'll find an option to kind of enable that.

`View` → `Show Path Bar`? I agree it should be enabled by default but it's so easy to change! You can also right click the folder icon at the top of the window, but Apple made this much more difficult beginning in macOS 11.

> You got a full path to go to somewhere on the disk.

I don't think non-developers ever end up in this situation. Those who do can use `Go` → `Go to Folder...`. I realize it's not in the toolbar but it's right in the menu bar.

> In List view there's no padding, I can't even find a place where I can right click and paste a previously copied file in the 'current folder', without it hitting a subfolder and pasting the files into that instead (assuming the folder has many folders inside).

Click the gear in the toolbar → `paste`.

I think your other points are valid, and I think the Mac's UX has declined a ton ever since OS X 10.9 in 2013. But I feel quite strongly the above complaints are merely different from other operating systems (and thus what you are used to), not actually worse.
I definitely used it - I think I had the Sinclair Research branded version. It was interesting
I’m still not convinced that Generative AI is going to be a net benefit for the human race.
Because Wikipedia says so? or you have a credible source, explanation?
Interviewing has a cost to the employer as well. If you are doing it just to practice with zero intention of actually working there, that is dishonest and disingenuous.
Java? Who's still running Java on their PCs? Wild.
That was actually the second time they through earlier users under the bus. I had a WP6 and was promised (at the time I bought it) that it would be upgraded to WP7 when that came out. Then Microsoft decided not to. Then they shit all over us by decided to shut down the app market. So my not even year-old phone became essentially worthless very quickly. I switched to Android and that was the last time I ever paid for a Microsoft product. It also turned me into an anti-advocate for Windows phones. I still cringe when I think of that perfectly good flagship (at the time) level hardware sitting worthless in a drawer
They are pretty close. LLMs can write the code the solve a sudoku, or leverage an existing solver, and execute the code. Agent frameworks are going to push the boundaries here over the next few years.
> I suspect bike collisions are more common than car collisions

You do? I was thinking the opposite: I've never hit anybody on my bike, I've never been hit by a bike, I've never seen nor heard of anybody being hit by a bike. How about you? I have absolutely hit a few cars, though.

I figure that since you have to pay attention when cycling, otherwise you end on the ground, and speeds are relatively low, you're never really in danger of hitting someone. I had a close calls with a kid literally jumping out of a bush once, but that's it.

Obviously, I'm not cycling on sidewalks, so in cities with crappy infrastructure, maybe it's more likely.

Vis-a-vis the chance of injury: I think car bonnets have generally got higher in the last few years, but I think the main question is the weight. If you get hit by a bike, both you and the bike are going to bounce. If you get hit by a car, you're going to be doing basically all the bouncing. The energy of an impact is F = mv/2t. So mass is just as relevant as velocity.

Regardless, the statistics bear this out: your stats showed that even if there were as few cars as there are bikes, they would still kill an order of magnitude more people. Perhaps this is because cars are much faster, perhaps this is because they hit more people, or injure them more when they do so, but I think in general if you're taking a purely objective, statistical view, every person who leaves their car in the garage and takes the bike instead makes everybody safer.
I hated this brand when I first saw it. The epitome of marketing bullshit: make water look edgy/cool/etc.

But overall, the fact that it comes in aluminum cans does seem like a good thing in comparison to bottle water. No idea what the environmental (weight?) tradeoffs are compared to shipping plastic bottles though.
This comment is being left from Ladybird. Hacker News works in Ladybird now. I use Ladybird for the few minutes a day that I surf sites like Hacker News and OSnews.

It is slow. It is fragile. But it works. That alone is amazing given how young the project is and how they have written literally everything from scratch.

I am really looking forward to Ladybird maturing.
It's a build option, the variable 'tokenised' controls whether it builds tokenised or direct threaded. The macro DX outputs either a token or word depending on whether a token is available and whether 'tokenised' is set.
The very same meticulous regulatory oversight that make plants safe makes them impossible to get through permitting cost-effectively. The result of the "soft ban" are a number of extremely safe plants that it's not economical to make more of. You could hypothetically enforce a similar "soft ban" for leaded gasoline or asbestos - by requiring elaborate filtration, containment and disposal procedures, plus monitoring and redundant process oversight. They'd never show up on consumer vehicles or in homes, but they may show up in a handful of specialty applications, complete with extraordinary amounts of paperwork and large government departments. Some people might start talking about "clean fiber," or "safe leaded."

P.S. if you are wondering what's wrong with allowing corporations to take on endeavors with a risk of causing large amounts of damage, it's because the value of a company isn't allowed to go negative due to bankruptcy and the corporate veil. If you're able to incorporate, you can profit from a series of "-$1,000 if I lose, +$1 if I win," bets, because creating $1000 liabilities on an entity with no money in the bank costs little more than the equipment you'd be forced to liquidate.
It absolutely is.

Adaptations include decreases in HR, internal body temperature, skin temperature, rating of perceived exertion (RPE), and sweat sodium and chloride concentrations, as well as increases in plasma volume and sweat rate.

Sweat rate. Sweat rate is a training adaptation. Thus we would say sweating is a trained response.

Yes, I have no doubt you are very sweaty. That doesn’t mean that sweatiness isn’t a trained response though.
I’ve found Prop 65 warnings to be useful. They’re not pervasively everywhere; but when I see a Prop 65 warning, I consciously try to pick a product without it.
actually you can use transfer encoding chunked to stream data , but it will get appended and the page would never finish loading, that worked back than it works today but that is not useful for several reasons and wasn’t back than.

with x-mixed-replace (as the name implies x-: experimentell) you can stream the page over and over again and the browser would change to the new version. (chrome still supports that for images, cheap webcams)

Tbf without frames neither mechanism made much sense, (even back than) because it would be horrible to use with form fields.

I started to play with the web in the early 2000s where xhr/long-polling/comet(via iframes, later it used xhr onreadystatechange with chuncked encoding, without sse, which basically was created because of that) started to gain traction and x-mixed-replace was extremely niche even back than because of the limitations it had on the page

Edit: comet (streaming script tags, inside an iframe) of course worked, back then. But I never heard of an implementation before 2006 (maybe a few years earlier like 2-3)or so, would’ve been worth a Wikipedia change if you would have old entries. Also http/1.1 was 97
Part of what we're dealing with here is that asbestos present in a home harms not only your health but... potentially the perceived $$ value of your home. Your biggest financial investment.
I've heard compiler writers complain that LLVM's API is inherently slow. Something about using runtime polymorphism everywhere. I don't know how much there is to this though, I haven't investigated it myself.
You just described every single beverage company in the world. Monster. Coke. Redbull got into F1 for marketing. The list goes on and on.

Liquid Death is literally paying for these hype op-ed pieces on top of their novelty marketing just to further convince people and create a self perpetuating feedback loop. Just like every other canned beverage company before them, and every other to come. No one has a secret sauce. It's marketing 24/7.
Supreme Court social media case pits disinformation against censorship
Do you think regulators will allow this? I tend to think not. Especially with the mega-attention in place now.

But that said, Google has played Gemini politically very well. "The other AI options aren't safe" is a message that regulators love to hear.
I'd rather lose the door on a short flight than on a transatlantic flight, though...

There are already various situations where lying is banned: depending on the circumstances, lying might count as perjury, fraud, false advertising, etc. It seems silly to suggest that these laws serve no purpose.
It's as if everyone in the world just forgot that fraud has been illegal the whole time.
I went through this in 2000 during the first dotcom bust. I believe I sent out over 200 resumes. Ended up learning to program properly as part of it, building a CRM job submission manager that tracked who I submitted to and reminded me to follow up. Didn't end up getting me a job but it taught me to program and my career has been awesome ever since.
do you think this is really an Apple weakness? Or do you think this is just a stopgap measure while they polish their homegrown stuff?

I can't imagine Apple doesn't release an iphone with special hardware running AI locally in the medium or long-term.
Can also address issues with language barriers and sloppy handwriting. If a person doesn't read a given language, that's not the same as illiteracy.

We probably know a lot about how it does or does not affect humans. "Just asking questions" from an unscientific perspective is why we have people saying things like "GMOs eat the lining of your stomach!"
Because Mast cell activation syndrome is a common outcome and antihistamines can reduce the impact and gradually calm the gut inflammation process down and quite a lot of Long Covid patients feel better on it.
> My state (and I expect most others) has a tax credit for taxes paid in both states.

I'm in the same situation but NY but opted out of this credit because for the amount I would get back on double-taxation, NY state wanted to tax me an additional 10x (and more than 50% of the value of the sold shares...) as much filing a return in their state even though I didn't earn any income there.

Plus an underpayment penalty.

I just skipped the NY return because I didn't earn any money there and shouldn't have to file a return with the state. Fuck them.
I think it depends on what you want.

Having worked quite a bit with both, I think the average beginner would find the rp2040's cmake based SDK more accessible than stm32cube, which I dislike immensely. The CircuitPython support is also really interesting for somebody who isn't a programmer but wants to experiment.

But if you're already an experienced programmer and want to roll your own stuff, I absolutely agree stm32 is a better way to go. This is a little example: https://github.com/jcalvinowens/ledboard

I will say, I think the generalized PIO engine the rp2040 has is incredible. I hope everybody starts doing that.
So how do I report the ones that don't?

I have a whole lot of shorts content to report..
(I work at Stream, we power activity feeds, chat and video calling/streaming for some very large apps)

You should in most cases just use websockets with a keep-alive ping every 30 seconds or so. It's not common anymore to block websockets on firewalls, so fallback solutions like Faye/Socket.io are typically not needed anymore.

WebTransport can have lower latency. If you're sending voice data (outside of regular webrtc), or have a realtime game its something to consider.
As in... it also kills humans???
People paying money itself is an evidence of "unique product". You think you can make money by selling canned water ?
I personally like that they list their ingredients instead of shady hand waving like most flavored waters seem to. No, i will not accept zero calorie 'essence' as a real thing (likely unregulated sugar alch) and nor should you.
Two wrongs don't make a right. Apple is bad and the EU bureaucracy is ineffective.

No. Because of their needle shape, they wander deep into the tissue. The notoriously associated cancer is found in the mesothelium, a layer around the lungs.
