If true, asking people to make potentially catastrophic life-changing decisions prior to then is risky for them and predatory by the person asking.

And if we follow that reasoning, we have to reconsider many things we allow/ask sub-24yo's to do and provide them a way to prove they are able to make those decisions.

I would be curious to this as well if they truly made it less sweet. In the past they tried this with Coke C2 but instead swapped it with artificial sweeteners (yuck). Nowadays I only drink sparkling water and avoid added sugars like the plague. Now I find Coke way too sweet now to the point that it's enjoyable. I can't believe that when I was younger I would drink multiple cans per day.

As a sidebar, I really like British style baked beans. Trying to buy something locally made in the US with the same amount of sugar is impossible. For example, Heinz Vegetarian beans contains 31.5g! of added sugar per can. Even if you go to Whole Foods, the Amy's brand contains the same amount of sugar. The UK version only contains 12g, so I end up buying the imported beans.

EDIT: Seems the best metric is "avg rent burden", the ratio of median_rent/median_income.

It increased from 25%->27% from 2001-2024 [a].

Far from a catastrophe, though there is an upward trend since 1999 [b].

There are spikes upwards and downwards, and I'd guess the upward spikes make much better clickbait.

Yeah, I couldn't find localize median wages, so I thought minimum wage would be a decent lower-bound.

Nationally, the easiest numbers to find are Wolfram Alpha's [1]:

Median wage (2001-2020): $27060 -> $46310 (2.9%/yr)

Mean wage (2001-2020): $34020 -> $61900 (3.2%/yr)

Bottom 10% wage (2001-2020): -> $18140 -> $27340 (2.2%/yr)

Mean->Median gap isn't too large, but the bottom 10% is pretty bad.

I think there was a temporary spike in rent burden [2] [3] which quickly reversed [4].

One of the challenges here is handling homonyms. If I search in the app for "king", most of the top ten results are "ruler" icons - showing a measuring stick. Rodent returns mostly computer mice, etc.

https://www.v0.app/search?q=king

https://www.v0.app/search?q=rodent

This isn't a criticism of the app - I'd rather get a few funny mismatches in exchange for being able to find related icons. But it's an interesting puzzle to think about.
Code-assisted use cases:

1. New code. Esp boilerplate, templated sections, default implementations.

2. Existing code, altering purpose.

3. Existing code, same purpose but refactoring.

For step 1, full-line completion seems like a halfway step. If the expanded result can usually be expressed with something more terse, why not go 100% and rely on a language that primarily uses terse version? Guess I'm waiting for the magical AI-universo-scripto language where only the bare minimum is typed by a human, and hovering (or IDE view mode) reveals details or full description. Or perhaps something more declarative: provide the terse goal, check the execution plan to make sure the full implementation fits or decide between competing implementations for same goal.

For step 2, full-line completion is great because the surrounding code is left intact (and in fact is needed for reasonable AI suggestions).

For step 3, I could see full-line completion being of use, but more limited since full-block or full-section completion might be more appropriate.

My brother gave me a beeper as a Christmas present in 1996. It was cool, but it got really cool when I bought an 800-number from LDDS Worldcom. The only thing I was charged was (IIRC) 6¢ per minute, and no call setup charge.*

I got paper bills in the mail for $0.34. Friends could page me from a payphone without having to drop a coin.

As someone who almost never plays video games but owns several CRTS for the sake of media I can attest to the fact that at least some of us purely own CRT's for their picture quality, or in my case the fact that I think pre 2000's 4:3 media was also kind of intended to be watched on screens like that (much in the same way I see video gamers arguing)

I'll take a wild guess though that my group (crt media watchers) is slightly less easy to take advantage of with actual hardware than video gamers which I'd guess to be the reason why there are few articles or HOLY GRAIL crt's like this fw900 widescreen in the media watching community. Not that we aren't often suckers for things like ORIGINAL VINTAGE POSTERS and SEALED MEDIA lol.

I think it was last week we were talking about a different emulator that was approved, so let's not try to jump to conclusions about why Apple may or may not have done something.

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.

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

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.
Yea, everyone is nit-picking the numbers... Where's the evidence? Where's the citations? Not everything is a paper in an academic publication. The quadrants themselves hold up and anecdotally match my experiences over decades of work. I can easily remember people I've worked with in each quadrant, and yes, the lower-right (whatever percent they are) are totally underutilized and mostly invisible.

I assume what they meant was that only some colors are pure frequencies, and most are more complex waveforms. As the sibling comment gestures at, "magenta" is the sum of a pure blue wave plus a pure red wave.

"Color" also can refer to several different phenomena which were historically conflated in a way that made teasing apart certain observations difficult. It's a property of objects (apples are red), a property of light (lasers are red) and a property of perception (I see red).

I don't think that is accurate. Brotli was added first to Firefox. It took 9 months longer for Chrome. Brotli has many other uses than content encoding in the web.
it's important to note that the fake panic over beepers is not related to the current concerns that kids shouldn't be on their phones all day long and at school. The former is a "fake moral panic" based on the premise that all kids were doing / selling drugs. the latter is a concern regarding mood/attention/bullying/self-esteem well established by statistics and experts (though not all experts, it's hotly debated. For parents with kids, not so much debate as it's extremely obvious).

The article refutes this: "months later The Washington Post editorial board would call on schools to ban cellphones entirely - part of a new moral panic about kids and digital devices, "

There's no "moral" panic about devices right now and this is straight up strawman. it's about mental health and learning.

Yes, it's causative in the same sense that the formation of our solar system eventually caused me to write this reply.

And I agree that it's typically most efficient to address root causes, but there's a sleight of hand going on here. Note how your post correctly pointed out that environment influences a person's actions where I said poor impulse control causes poor outcomes. There are causal factors in both cases, but clearly there is a clear and direct causal link in the latter and a diffuse set of uncertain possible causes in the former.

I would not call environment a root cause in this case unless you can actually narrow down the specific source that causes poor impulse control (some of it is genetic and thus ineliminable).

It doesn't work that way.

Hydraulic systems have very little "give", unless you put a hydraulic accumulator (an air tank with a fluid/air barrier) in the system. Electric motors have plenty of "give". Forcing a motor to turn backwards won't hurt it. The gear train is usually the weak point. As motors and controllers have improved, robot gear reduction ratios have decreased, which reduces the load on the gear train and lets the motor absorb shock loads. Direct drive robots eliminate the gear train entirely. Here's a nice one.[1] "You cannot strip the teeth of a magnetic field" - General Electric electric locomotive rep, around 1900.

With modern motors, you can get huge torque with light weight, and cooling becomes the limitation. Schaft used water-cooled motors in their direct-drive robot. Google bought Schaft, ran them into the ground and killed them.

Elegant. For whatever reason I elected to roll my own graph implementation in my own solution, with predictably terrible performance characteristics: using adjacency lists (instead of matrices) and BTreeSets to model "merged" vertices was not the greatest idea in hindsight..

Sure I can. But I might have been at it for a decade or two longer than you have. Folks on HN talk about the warning signs and red flags in interviews all the time, and from my perspective they're mostly right.

Stone countertops haven't been in super wide usage long enough that there is a huge supply for used. But if getting one replaced there's certainly a market for a stone counter. Even the sink cutouts for real stone can sell for a good bit.

A lot of stone countertops though are actually cheap composites where the slab is mass produced. Like how you can walk into an apartment complex and they all have granite countertops with nearly identical patterns.

Embeddings have a special place in my heart since I learned about them 2 years ago. Working in SEO, it felt like everything finally "clicked" and I understood, on a lower level, how Google search actually works, how they're able to show specific content snippets directly on the search results page, etc. I never found any "SEO Guru" discussing this at all back then (maybe even now?), even though this was complete gold. It explains "topical authority" and gave you clues on how Google itself understands it.

One of my biggest annoyances with the modern AI tooling hype is that you need to use a vector store for just working with embeddings. You don't.

The reason vector stores are important for production use-cases are mostly latency-related for larger sets of data (100k+ records), but if you're working on a toy project just learning how to use embeddings, you can compute cosine distance with a couple lines of numpy by doing a dot product of a normalized query vectors with a matrix of normalized records.

Best of all, it gives you a reason to use Python's @ operator, which with numpy matrices does a dot product.
This is harder and harder the more senior you get. It looks suspicious if you're hopping after 1.5-2 yrs.
I don’t necessarily disagree with your point, but frameworks and libraries are very useful. Their gross value could be said to be relative to whether the risks of relying on them ended up being worth it.

A very well vetted library to do something tricky may be more reliable than reinventing the wheel.

But to your point — a former employer of mine is the company behind a major SaaS application used everywhere from “you and I” to companies like Apple, Workday, IBM, and Disney.

Not an AI maven, but working in recruiting/hiring software I'm happy that (for now) company leadership seems to be very cautious about LLMs, especially since they tend to embed many of the same biases we're trying to avoid. (For example, preferring prestigious university names in resumes.)

> It constantly suggested plausible but completely non-functional code, scaffolded the project in an outdated format, and autogenerated CSS classes that looked like they could be Bootstrap classes, but weren't.

Yeah, it's almost like some kind of P/NP discussion where it's now easier to generate a proposed solution... but verifying the solution was already the functional bottleneck.

I believe that LLMs--due to their core algorithmic nature--can only supplant an Enthusiastic Intern. No matter what they generate, it still needs to be carefully reviewed by a human developer to detect if it is wrong/insane and to fix/reject it.

> And as they became trendy, people often used [blockchains] for purposes where their characteristics weren't necessary — or were sometimes even unwanted — and so they got all of the flaws with none of the benefits.

Absolutely, and one of my favorite examples of this involves how it is NOT a good fit for voting. (Digression follows)

I believe the main test for "is a blockchain worth it" is to ask: "Does this need to allow anyone anywhere to create any number of new nodes?" That is the core feature which differentiates "blockchain" from regular old distributed databases, and that single requirement explodes into a tree of complicated supporting code-features, performance tradeoffs, and other limitations.

So... Is that true for voting? No: We don't want to allow a foreign country to create a billion nodes and spoil the result just because we didn't budget for having two billion nodes running on that one voting-day, nor do we don't want to have to wait at the polls for hours for our vote to be truly confirmed, etc.

In contrast, it would be a thousand times faster and simpler to create a network with a predefined fixed membership, where dozens of nodes are run by different state/province/federal authorities, and trust that nobody could corrupt all of them simultaneously.

"For developers who choose to agree to the new business terms, membership in the Apple Developer Program includes one million first annual installs per year for free for apps distributed from the App Store, Web Distribution, and/or alternative marketplaces."

https://developer.apple.com/support/core-technology-fee/

This is what some commenters here don't understand when they criticize the developer for not offering a free App Store version in the EU. Once a developer distributes outside the App Store in the EU, Apple applies the CTF to everything the developer distributes in the EU, whether inside or outside the App Store. Financially, there's no way that they could offer a free version in the EU.

Also note: "Developers of alternative app marketplaces will pay the Core Technology Fee for every first annual install of their app marketplace, including installs that occur before one million."
