Price being a trade secret and legal fears for telling people a price number shows how far we are from a free market society.

This is ridiculous.

If there's one piece of information that is public by nature in a free market is price, folks.

We should bash on any business that tries to manipulate the legal system to destroy price publicity. They should be the ones in fear.
I sympathize with this because as far as I'm aware there is no solution to helping an adult person that really doesn't want help. I would love to know if somebody has actually managed to help such a person.
It's sadly not just one thing that goes wrong. But at the base of it, it's the human faults at play. It's just being amplified by social media and the easy communication on Internet.
Prompt engineering is honestly not long for this world. It's not hard to build an agent that can iteratively optimize a prompt given an objective function, and it's not hard to make that agent general purpose. DSPy already does some prompt optimization via multi-shot learning/chain of thought, I'm quite certain we'll see an optimizer that can actually rewrite the base prompt as well.
True. This is exactly why I do it too. I wish SQL was less like English and more like a computer language.
They can't prevent you from selling the software now. You can do whatever you like up to thr point they change the license, at which point you can fork it.

They are preventing you from leveraging -their- (not released under free license) updates after that point.
Depending on where you live it is not true that there are no restrictions on false advertising and accountability for commercial content.

That said, a government can be passive and not regulate a field and non-intervention stays non-intervention, be it conscious or not. But that is besides the point. A government that tries to regulate all aspects of life is usually connected to totalitarianism, an that isn't only a libertarian position.
OK, but what's the distinction? What are the different kinds of cooperative multitasking here?
Interesting, I thought it was proven Transformers cannot do recursion[0] and aren't actually able to be equivalent to a turing machine due to lack of expandable memory, and are rather finite state automata.

PHP without types / types in comments existed in parallel to spring boot for years.

And im pretty sure that the history of PHP is still everywere inside PHP, like php function inconsistencies across the board.

Or whats the current situation on unicode support?

When i started with PHP4 and Lamp, what a great time. JavaEE was bloated, not a lot of good free webservers available, granted.

But while PHP5 was great and had a loooong shelflife, JEE became much cooler and had fundamental critical things like CDI and really good CDI Frameworks.

Eclipse Java IDE was always really good, something PHP hadn't had for ages.

And if you look at the fundamental difference between lets say java and php: In Java you have specs and reference implementations (partially also thanks to oracle, you now have mulitply companies having their JVMs) which made the JVM very robust and fast.

When Facebook did the hhvm/hack stuff, that was great and pushed enough nerves to rethink the performance of PHP but the performance gains were stupid crazy. Thats a very good indication when a language with so little money and support has such a huge performance gain after such a long time existing.

The fact that Facebook than threw the PHP community under the bus with hhvm/hack didn't make it better.

That wasn't a correction; you were right to begin with. If it's so much a part of the city that you don't even know if it's formally part of the city or not... Then it's part of the city.

Fuck, it seems (from Google Maps) to be about half as far from the center of Munich as the Munich Airport. If schitt that far out is called "Munich", then so is Unterschleissheim.

This has been my conclusion too. Given it’s a product I’m paying monthly for it seems super regressive to have to trick it into doing what it used to do just fine.
I don't normally comment on these kinds of topic but I thought I should chip in on this one.
The things you have listed are all solutions to a problem that you think she has. Something in the line of "If you/we do X, you'll be happier. Trust me"

Honestly, it doesn't have to be that complex. I was shocked to read about the platform and the eCommerce site. That's such a HN solution to an ultimately human problem.

I believe the only thing you need to focus on right now is to understand where she's coming from. Do you know why she does the thing she does? Do you know what she feels about it?

That's it. Simple. But it'll be hard for sure. Because to you (and me), it's very clearly an issue that needs to be "fixed". But how would you feel if someone keeps telling you solutions to things you don't think are a problem? Like: "Hey, do you want a custom social media site so that you don't spend so much time on HN?" - the implication is that you're a HN addict. My first response would be defensive. "I think HN is good. You haven't even spent much time on it. How would you know anything about it? "

I think that unless there's this common ground of understanding and support, you'll never get anywhere.
> The amount of dumb and uneducated people that couldn't even listen to expert advice during a fucking pandemic is driving me up the wall.

If you stay home and others don't, it doesn't affect you. If you're isolated and safe, why would you care if others go out and do what they want?

A commenter in a sibling thread asked why "people are so nitpicky" and "why people are so hostile to each other". This comment is why. It's exemplary even. You should look inward and figure out if you're part of the problem.
> We are now 12 years into a public health emergency that began around 2012

yes, yes, and porn is also a health epidemic, and so was covid (yes it was, only technically). so what? until you roll out new laws in reaction to this "problem", it doesn't exist as far as i'm concerned. i don't care that you have a large body of proof for it, i don't have time to read that. and when you make the laws they will be bullshit and not even solve the problem which may or may not exist. you are all redditors.
I think it’s a way of farming status/clout. People who make fun of people who pose fringe ideas are rewarded with likes. People who shut down people on “the other side” are rewarded with likes. People can get likes by pushing the prominent ideology and kowtowing to that majority. It’s for their personal benefit, and being online removes the real-life downside of bullying or disagreeing with someone where you have to actually defend your ideas or deal with someone who is visibly upset by your actions. In conclusion, the upside of nitpicking is amplified by our tribal instincts, and the downside is muted by the nature of being online.
Some projects want to know your real identity, and/or have you sign some sort of CLA or copyright transfer under it before accepting your submissions. I think it's dumb, but it happens.
Probably just reducing resources with the cost of quality. GPT-4 suddenly has started be much faster.
OpenAI doesn't have this issue so it begs the question which part of the regulation is not compliant and why, if it's just Google being lazy, or if they actively do something sketchy and don't want to stop.
No I would say thats largely correct.

The country de industrialised way too early (I would argue no country should ever de industrialise to begin with, but that's another cup of tea entirely) And now has created lots of low quality jobs in the tourism sector through mass tourism and benevolent expat laws to people from richer countries.

The whole thing is a tragedy, but it helps those with capital already (homeowners in central Porto and Lisbon have likely seen their capital 3x to 10x) so the government let it happen.

The whole 2nd tier of the eurozone is completely in tatters anyway. Spain, Portugal, Italy and Greece. The eurozone doesn't work when there are two tiers of countries in it. Joseph Stiglitz had a great book about it.

You can also use webhooks to deploy with each GitHub push. The advantage over GitHub actions is you don’t have to store any secrets on GitHub or with integrators like Vercel. Just send a payload to your own endpoint each time a commit is made, and that can trigger your shell script to rebuild and deploy. Using symbolic links helps make it more robust to errors. Trigger a pull of the repo, and build. Only if the build is successful, move the symbolic link of your production app to the new build. This also allows keeping some history of builds in case you ever need to troubleshoot.
There are quite a few database products and other data intensive systems written in Go, Java, and many other languages. Generally this is much less of an issue than you think. And it's offset by several benefits that come with having some nice primitives to do e.g. concurrency and nice language to work with.

On the JVM you have things like Cassandra, Elasticsearch, Kafka, etc. each of which offer performance and scale. There are lots more examples. As far as I know they don't do any of the things you mention; at least not a lot. And you can use memory mapped files on the JVM, which helps as well. Elasticsearch uses this a lot. And I imagine Kafka and Cassandra do similar things.

As for skillset, you definitely need to know what you are doing if you are going to write a database. But that would be true regardless of the language.
I've been involved in video surveillance for the last 15ish years, in the US, UAE, Japan, UK, South Africa, South America, Caribbean, and elsewhere. What you're describing is exceedingly rare. Robbers are generally not spending much time on cameras and recorders unless the equipment is right out in the open, such as at a small store that puts the recorder near the cash register. Thieves are not following cables around, and installers are not adding time and expense to create these scavenger hunt decoy systems.

If you feel that you have a legitimate threat that might lead to attackers trying to disable your video system you would more commonly install better equipment. Cameras that are more covert, or are ruggedized/vandal proof, and installed out of reach. Installations that leave no exposed cables, PC-based video recorders that don't have branding or indications of what they are doing, etc.
The reference to asociality and anti-sociality is rather ironic in the context of abuse of power and specifically going out of one’s way, as a paid employee, to harm someone working on OSS projects full-time for free.
Show HN: Deco.cx – realtime TypeScript web editor
Hi, HN.
Gui, Lucis, and the deco.cx team here — we're a bunch of Brazilians building an open-source, all-in-one web editor for the modern TypeScript dev. Check out our GitHub at https://github.com/deco-cx/deco and discover more at our site https://deco.cx/.

We built frontend tools at a hyper-growth e-commerce platform for 9 years. Deco.cx is the thing that we wish existed when we were managing hundreds of enterprise-grade React-based websites.

The gist is: JSX, HTMX, TypeScript, Tailwind and Deno. All visually editable in a beautiful, collaborative, REALTIME (!) admin UI. Great for devs, great for content.

In essence, we're a git-based TypeScript-first configuration management system. We take TypeScript code that represents your site, your entities, your UI, and we allow anyone to "save" configuration and content based on those types.

It's great for developers, because you can code directly on the web, or on your machine, and get instant feedback. You "export interface Props" and boom, an automatic form is generated. It's great for the business users, the content editors, because you just press "." (dot) in your keyboard and you go into a visual edit mode for the page you're at right now. Everything the developer exported in TypeScript is editable.

And when you hit "publish", it's already live, with a proper CDN, proper caching, everything already setup and just working. Ready to scale!

But you can't fly blind. We're democratizing pro-level tools for web analytics and observability by bundling in our Pro plan: fully-managed Plausible analytics and HyperDX observability. Check them out — these are great tools on their own, and they shine in the deco.cx platform bundle.

We don't want to be the only answer, we don't claim to be right about anything, we just want to make the friendly and accessible open-source tool that we wish existed when we were junior developers. If you want to participate, please join our discord community at https://deco.cx/discord

on open-source: our admin UI core is not ready for prime time, we're working to open-source it this year. but basically everything else, our integrations, templates and configuration management runtime are all open-source already! take a look at these: https://github.com/deco-cx/deco https://github.com/deco-cx/apps https://github.com/deco-sites/storefront Making the admin UI core extensible and open source is a MAIN OBJECTIVE for this year, so expect news here soon!

Thanks for your support!

Not only that your device will poll for your location, but even if you have your location turned off (or no functional GPS at all), with BT enabled, Google will have your location from all the other people's phones around you.

Windows 8.1 and 10 were free upgrades from 8 with identical system requirements and similar performance on supported hardware.

Windows Vista was a paid upgrade from XP with increased system requirements and poor performance on low-end supported hardware.
You might want to add a "Show HN:" to the front of the title to get more feedback, because this looks pretty decent to me, so I'm a little surprised how little of a reaction you've gotten.

I will say that "components" might be the wrong word - these are fully baked page layouts, which are great time-savers.

The FAQ also has a question about getting refunds, which seems odd on a page that has no costs or pricing?

In short, your marketing of this might need some polish, but the actual content and functionality looks pretty good!
In a stage-wise virtual guide, learning how a thermal powerplant works have become more insightful and engaging. Every step right from coal storage to electricity generation can be experienced by learners in an immersive manner to broaden their understanding and get acclimatized to the industry.

Such learning revolutions are instituted by iXR Labs, the pioneers in deploying immersive, innovative, and interactive technologies like Virtual reality in colleges and universities. With technology in the vanguard, we aim to bring about a paradigm shift from a passive to an active form of learning and to enable learners to think out of the box

Some packages are more central than others. For instance, the basic container image for a popular Linux distribution has only around 150 packages (and yes, it includes curl, which counts as two packages because the library and the command are packaged separately). A text-only "server" install of that distribution probably adds another hundred or so (for things like kernel, firmware, bootloader, ssh daemon, and so on). Even a full desktop install of that distribution, with lots of extra junk installed on top, doesn't get anywhere near 8000 packages.
There is an investigation undergoing.

JMO, but an enormous part of it is this is the fundamental way teens now learn how to interact with the world. This disconnected, digital interface with other people that is rewarded at tremendous scale (popularity is now for some a worldwide deal...not just your high school).

Older folks like myself (GenX) learned the "classic" way...face to face. There were checks and balances. If you said something that skewed hostile you found out it could have immediate direct negative consequences. It could literally leave a mark.

Similarly if you went too far some other way...you found out immediately and directly how that could work out (we were just as cringy...we just didn't have it preserved digitally for prosperity).

Kids today (even writing that makes me wince) have less accountability for what they write than what we had to have for what we said. Also due to scale the effects are amplified. And also you are in a digital bubble that allows you to ignore anything that isn't positive. If you piss someone off by what you said so what? You'll never interact with them directly and there will be 1000s who agree w/ and encourage you.

This is the same report which is happy to make claims such as: “For many centuries transgender people have been predominantly trans females", and then leaves it as an exercise to the reader to divine how they arrived at that. The entire report is full of similar claims and does not seem to meet the bar we have for peer-reviewed science.

This is the same report cited by the linked article. It will take time to review the entire 300 page report, but as it stands it seems unlikely it will hold up to scrutiny over time.
Exactly. That situation can change with an automatic update at any time.
So nothing has changed since 2008?
Hi Hackers,

When designed and implemented carefully, third party APIs can be a good solution to anyone building an e-commerce application.

I want to bring together some of the most popular and useful APIs in different categories.

Do you have some favorite APIs that we haven't included? Let me know.
Are any of these stable? I mean when using temperature=0, do you get the same reply for the same prompt?

I am using gpt-4-1106-preview quite a lot, but it is hard to optimize prompts when you cannot build a test-suite of questions and correct replies against which you can test and improve the instruction prompt. Even when using temperature=0, gpt-4-1106-preview outputs different answers for the same prompt.

When 1/3 rendering engines implement something, that engine is ahead. When 2/3 engines implement something, the other engine is behind. But you are so keen on dunking on Apple, you’re perceiving 1/3 engines implementing something means that just one of the other two engines is behind. That’s an incredibly lopsided way of viewing things.
For adults, sure. We're talking about children/teenagers, they're all insecure and self-conscious and don't want to hang around with the weird kid because they then become a weird kid by proxy. And the smallest unusualness makes you weird.
People are broken. Perhaps they always were. Perhaps this latest, is the cost of prioritising work over family - it is now common to have both parents working, with child care outsourced to professionals, that may do everything right, but will not love the child. Love is underrated, intangible. I suspect there are very few whole individuals out there at all.

Once the child grows, why would it look to family to help? It has already been institutionalised - it believes that government agencies, psychiatrists etc will help - the 'brokenness' is normal. The grown child won't look to those that would normally step in (family) - they have their own issues. In all honesty, its hard to say whether looking to institutions for help that is a bad decision anyway - how much harm do families cause?

They don't, it's all temporary. Other communities and companies are being created to circumvent this.

Okay, so your solution to ending discrimination is technological. Right. How simplistic. How about we solve our social problems without resorting to technology. And many are not like that as well. So we should destroy those too? What a black and white approach!
I’ve been using Claude 3 Opus for a while now and was fairly happy with the results. Wouldn’t say they were better than GPT-4, but considerably less verbose which I really appreciated. Recently though I ran into two questions I had that Claude actually answered incorrectly and incompletely until I prompted it. One was a Java GC questions where is forgot Epsilon and then hallucinated that is wasn’t experimental anymore. The other was a coding question where I know there wouldn’t be a good answer, but Claude kept repeating a previous answer even though I had twice told it that it wasn’t what I was looking for.

So I’ve switched back to GPT-4 again for a the time being to see if I’m happier with the results. I never felt that Claude 3 Opus measurably better than GPT-4 to begin with.
> It's really not that simple

except it is, because law is dumb, stupid, and slow-witted. if you ban facebook specifically, the next day it will think that means mailing lists should also be banned. btw ive witnessed lots of mailing list and then web forum addicted deadbeats before social media came out but whatever

the legal solution is nothing (i realize not all of you have asked for the legal solution yet but thats essentially the only point of this thread that is brought up routinely on places like HN)

teh fact that every techie and his mom seems to think the law will work out in his favor when it backfires each time (or they just ignores that downsides) is no different than how people keep thinking you can put a web server in every embedded device and they oh so surprisingly have the same RCE vulns as the 90s, every single time.
