JetBrains IDES already have copilot integration which works quite well and which I use constantly.

This part piques my interest though:

> Is there any other decision with such long lasting consequences?

As a young adult? Let's see...

Drinking and driving, unprotected premarital sex, drug use and abuse...there are plenty. These are all decisions that a 17 or 18 year old has to make very regularly and the wrong decision can be very harmful.

To your point though, the decision around this massive student loan racket is the only one I can think of that was / is actively encouraged by so many parents and educators. Like I said, there's plenty of blame to go around. But that doesn't absolve the 17 or 18 year old of blame.

It of course depends on how you cut and slice it, and also on the categorisation of black - but we are talking about approximately 2-3 billion people there if we include India, Indonesia, Africa and the rest of the world.

Can you point to a study that has comprehensively assessed that total population? Or just a few studies by Americans, who make their own racial biases, which from a cynical perspective can be boiled down to rampant and cruel exploitation over several centuries, abundantly clear in the articles concerned?

Immigrants across the world tend to be a slightly self selecting class of folks - why would black immigrants be any different on that front?
Labor relations are intrinsically adversarial. The employer wants to pay as little as they can get away with for as much work as possible, the employee wants to be paid as much as possible for as little work as they can get away with.

This article is written for the employer's side, trying to optimize their game. The employees trying to normalize working approximately nothing are optimizing their side.

Lots of discussion about the conclusions relating childhood trauma to adult outcomes. One intermediate comment that struck me was the idea of college as a temporal/physical space for necessary growth in the 18-20s age range. I need to ponder more about this.

BUT, it struck me that one of the outcomes of the pandemic was the recognition that a major function of school for kids is childcare (as opposed to learning), and it’s funny to imagine college as the modern equivalent for older “kids”.
awesome, looking forward to seeing how your results perform. I tested powerinfer on smaller models and didn't see large performance gains.
I'd interested to take a look if you have any further info about which moral philosophers and which works cite The Discarded Image?

I admit I haven't read that one myself; my own take on him as a philosopher stems from reading Mere Christianity and summaries of Surprised by Joy, and not being aware of any references to his work by more recent philosophers that I've been interested in such as Chomsky, Zizek, or Dennett. I got a strong feeling that Lewis' arguments and exposition were guided by something other than logic, though they pretended to be following it. The trilemma is an example of this.

There's a sense in which this is endemic to Paris: as a city which evolved from a medieval one, with narrow ad-hoc streets snaking all around, it lends itself uniquely to wandering, in a way that New York City, for instance, with its grid system of numbered streets, could not. Walk a straight line in Paris, and you're likely to end up where you started, because of the way the streets curve and intersect. Walk a straight line in New York, and you'll just end up in New Jersey, in some parking lot, questioning all the life choices you made that led to that moment.

Actually, it is cited. The fragment you quoted is from the lede, which is supposed to summarize the rest of the material. So if you read on to the section "Etymology and definition", you find that the same claim is cited to Merriam Webster.

As it happens, this citation is useless, because it doesn't support the claim. Basically, I think it's fraudulent to cite that claim to that MW article.

I agree with you completely. And yet...I can't imagine at least some of them aren't aware of it, and it might have planted a seed. I could totally believe there was a faculty meeting and someone said: "Didn't CS Lewis write a book or two about this?" followed by laughter (some of it nervous). It's just so odd to me that out of all the universities in the world, FHI ended up at the place CS Lewis was when he wrote this book. I can pull quote after quote out of it, that if you don't know it was written in 1943, you would think he was parodying FHI and EA. Which really reflects that these two movements aren't that new.

Have any subreddit mods been exposed as paid corporate shills?

Reddit is just as compromised as any place else, but (like Wikipedia) their user moderation system has effective and transparent enough to largely mitigate this -- at least relative to the rest of the internet.

Please don't misunderstand. The challenges and problems with content and moderation at both of those places are very real. But, relative to the most of rest of the internet, (a low bar to clear) they have coped very well.
I was very careful not to overstate WebP lossless quality. I compressed the originals with zopflipng and pngcrush before stating figures (-26 %).

If I had just used the internet quality images, WebP lossless would have improved size by -42 %.

Yet another 'marketing textbook' way to overstate -42 % is to turn it into 'loading speed': 1/(1-0.42) = 72 % faster.

None of this was made for the lossless and the most conservative estimate was shown. I didn't do any hacking or cherry picking to produce the number and I had several internal verification approaches to be correct.

Has Pinecone gotten any cheaper? Last time I tried it was $75/month for the starter plan / single vector store.
Found that to be the case with any butter really, when you cook with it or do anything that dilutes it, the flavor beyond "lipids" ends up lost quickly amongst the other flavors. We buy cheaper butter for stuff like frying eggs or to add to recipes that call for it and buy a smaller amount of really good stuff to put on (cooked) bread/steak/potatoes or other times where the flavor difference feels noticeable (also usually do unsalted for the normal, and salted for the high-grade). Note I said cheaper not cheap, I'd say like wine you shouldn't cook with butter you'd refuse on its own.

Yeah this is part of the issue with that particular product, the other is the initial capital. But also, the project itself was a bit too authoritarian style creepy so I'd rather not. But I've seen the exact same issues in MANY other products (I mean I could have told you rabbit or humane pin would be shit. In fact, I believe I even stated that on HN if not joked about it in person. I happily shit on plenty of papers too, and do so here)

I think what a lot of people don't understand is that there's criticism and dismissing. I'm an ML researcher, I criticize works because I want our field to be better and because I believe in ML, not because I'm against it. I think people confuse this. I'll criticize GPT all day, while also using it every day.

> I have not seen anything that the release on the App Store was held up by apple and that this wasn't just instead an simultaneous release on both platforms by the developer.

See this commit from 3 years ago[1]! On Delta's Repo:

> Delta was originally developed under the impression Apple would allow it into the App Store. Unfortunately Apple later changed their minds, leaving me no choice but to find a new way to distribute Delta. Long story short, this led me to create AltStore, which now serves as the official way to install Delta onto your device.

The main reason why you “have not seen anything that the release on the App Store was held up by apple” is that because you did not want to see it, because it goes against your believes (believes that have been manufactured by Apple's propaganda machine).

> Yes Apple did not previously allow this until they changed their policy recently to allow emulation (which I think was about a month ago).

And guess why their changed their policy? Because of DMA put them in an untenable posture.

> This does not change the fact that the developer is choosing to put the app on the App Store everywhere except for the EU, and in the EU you have to use their store.

That's a genuine “fuck you Apple” move, which is understandable given how much “fuck you Delta” Apple gave them before, but it's also a bit of a problem. But here again this is 100% on Apple! They can 100% ban this kind of things by adding a policy to the app store that says “If you want to distribute on the App store outside of the EU, you have to provide your software on the app store in the EU as well” even if that doesn't prevent the release on an alternative store. The main reason why they don't do that, is because it would ruin their FUD about this exact situation.

You are being manipulated by a trillion dollar company, that not only hate your individual freedom, but also wants to make sure you hate it yourself so you never ask for it. And unfortunately that propaganda keeps proving highly effective…

> What more could you really ask for

Some signal that the project is being maintained? If it’s not that’s fine but don’t go radio silent and get pissy when people ask if a project is dead…

This is not a legal or moral issue it’s just being considerate for others as well. You, the maintainer, made the choice to maintain this project in the public and foster a userbase. This is not a one-way relationship. People spend their time making patches and integrating your software. You are under no obligation to maintain it of course but dont be a dick.

> That will help you pick a better place next time.

I'm convinced there is no means available to an employee to "picking a better place". Last time I job hopped, I tried to do that — and largely, I think I succeeded. But company leadership changed, my good boss left and was replaced by a terrible new boss (who has since also left, and been replaced by a less terrible boss) … so what I evaluated when I joined is no more.

And that assumes I can even truly do a good job of evaluating a time of joining … I tend to believe I got more lucky than anything else there.
Oh, sorry for that! Thanks!

> After all, Python itself famously did so with the 2 to 3 transition

That transition has been so traumatic for the whole ecosystem that, if anything, it became an abject lesson as to why you don't do stuff like that. "Never again" is the current position of PSF wrt any hypothetical future Python 3 -> 4 transition.

Major Python libraries pretty much never just remove things over the course of a single major release. Things get officially announced first, then deprecated for at least one release cycle but often longer (which is communicated via DeprecationWarning etc), then finally retired.

> Leaving aside the questionable practice of exposing details of internal dependencies directly through one’s own public interface

Not all dependencies are internal. If library A exposes type X, and library B exposes type Y that by design extends X (so that instances of Y can be passed anywhere X is expected), that is very intentionally public.

Now imagine that library C exposes type Z that also by design extends X. If B and C both get their copy of A, then there are two identical types X that are not type-compatible.

Now suppose we have the app that depends on both B and C. Its author wants to write a generic function F that accepts an instance of X (or a subtype) and does something with it. How do they write a type signature for F such that it can accept both Y and Z?

I'd rather the fools waste their money (and yours, to) on laughable crap like keeping humanity alive than not so laughable crap like waging wars.
I don't think it's really depressing or pessimistic. A serious argument can be made that manned spaceflight is unnecessary when everything we need to do in space can be done remotely with robotics. The delta-V-times-mass spent launching relatively heavy redundant meatbags (people) into space could be saved or repurposed for launching even better machines.

AltStore Pal Alternative App Marketplace Launches on iPhone in EU
This is my project.

I use it as the core cross-platform event loop layer for my terminal (https://mitchellh.com/ghostty). I still consider libxev an early, unstable project but the terminal has been in use by hundreds to now over a thousand beta testers daily for over a year now so at least for that use case its very stable. :) I know of others using it in production shipped software, but use it at your own risk.

As background, my terminal previously used libuv (the Node.js core event loop library), and I think libuv is a great project! I still have those Zig bindings available (archived) if anyone is interested: https://github.com/mitchellh/zig-libuv

The main issue I had personally with libuv was that I was noticing performance jitter due to heap allocations. libxev's main design goal was to be allocation-free, and it is. The caller is responsible for allocating all the memory libxev needs (however it decides to do that!) and passing it to libxev. There were some additional things I wanted: more direct access to mach ports on macOS, io_uring on Linux (although I think libuv can use io_uring now), etc. But more carefully controlling memory allocation was the big one.

And it worked! Under heavy IO load in my terminal project, p90 performance roughly matched libuv but my p99 performance was much, much better. Like, 10x or more better. I don't have those numbers in front of me anymore to back that up and my terminal project hasn't built with libuv in a very long time. But I consider the project a success for my use case.

You're probably better off using libuv (i.e. the Node loop, not my project) for your own project. But, the main takeaway I'd give people is: don't be afraid to reimplement this kind of stuff for you. A purpose-built event loop isn't that complicated, and if your software isn't even cross-platform, it's really not complicated.
