I wonder how compatible it is with the original Z80, which had many undocumented instructions as well as the infamous "trap gates" (look at the "Oral History Panel on the Founding of the Company and the Development of the Z80 Microprocessor" documented linked on that page) that might've had an effect on certain obscure instruction sequences and designed to identify the difference between it and clones.
~Any credit or debit card issued in Western Europe in the last decade would be contactless.
Not only in the USA. Germany also has a growing number of big SUVs.

What's interesting is that it was possible 25 years ago to build a 3 litre/100km car. The Audi A2. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audi_A2

Now a modern SUV has at least double the weight and a worse wind resistance value and uses 6l/100km of fuel.

And while there are limits what physics will allow it seems it was possible to reduce fuel consumption and emissions by at least 50% 25 years ago. With modern computer simulations and technical progress over the last 25 years something like this should be at least possible? Yet it's difficult to buy a car like this today.

Somewhere something went really wrong.
Blue cross has $450 / mo negotiated rate. Medicare can do better than that and government has started doing negotiations for drugs.
I also find people mostly unable to move beyond their initial judgement. First impressions seriously, seriously matter.
Very few and those that do, can they afford larger cars like those in the USA can?
Show HN: Dotenv, if it is a Unix utility
I like the idea of using dotenv files, but I dislike having to use different language-specific libraries to read them.

To solve this, I created a small utility that lets you prefix any command with "dotenv" to load the ".env" file.

This is how I imagine dotenv would work if it had started as a UNIX utility rather than a Node.js library.
Well, I don't even know where to start. I will give you just one example:

"The BRICS currency supply formula aims to maintain a constant or increasing value of the currency, while having a dynamic supply. This is achieved by adjusting the supply based on the economic performance of the member nations, ensuring that the value of the BRICS currency reflects the underlying economic value of the BRICS bloc."

The underlying assumption here, and through the entire article, is that the supply in circulation is controlled by the issuer of the currency. In a modern economy (i.e., one with a financial sector) money is primarily created by the private banking system, in a decentralised fashion, not by the central bank. As a result, the central bank, which is technically the issuer of the currency (more precisely, the issuer of reserves) does NOT have direct control of the money supply. Instead the central bank attempts to influence the money supply through interest rates. If you replace the central bank with something else, you're going to have the same problem. You'll have to figure a way to control the money supply, in an indirect fashion. Yet in the model that you present, the issuer has direct control of the money supply, indicating a complete lack of understanding on your part about how the monetary system works.
> Scrape to earn money from" is not OK.

This is exactly how search engines like Google and Bing work though. So I don't think "earning money" is the right place to draw the line. Reproducing websites wholesale is also illegal and immoral IMO, but there's a lot of gray area between search engines and cloning the content of entire websites to slap ads on.
> Which LLMs can’t produce rhyming pairs? Both the current ChatGPT 3.5 and 4 seem to be able to generate as many as I ask for

Only in english. If they would understand language and rhymes they would do it in every other language it knows, It can't in my language while it can speak in it fluently. It just fails. And fails in so many other areas, I'm using LLMs daily for work and other stuff and if you use them long enough you will see that they are statistical machines not intelligent entities.
I couldn’t even take a video of an enormous search & rescue flare on a chute less than 1 km away at night and have it show up. If that’s legit, those lights must have been blinding
I think this is mostly true. Perhaps truer still is that the US willingly had rules that massively reduced their market power in negotiations, which in a game of parallel negotiations leads to the obvious price discrimination. You cannot blame big pharma for giving a client willing to pay any price without negotiations what the client wants: high prices.

One counterpoint is that in my country we’ve successfully reduced prices for medicines a lot by strong negotiations in the last decade. We are last in line among western nations for medicines now. Shortages all around.
They blanked cited a list of feely subjects. They did not describe actual problems.

Workers, for instance, do not have the right to “not compete against an AI” (if that’s what’s being referenced). There are no copyright issues if people license content for training. AI does not newly or uniquely introduce “misinformation” into society. These are all interesting things to have discussions about, but they are not de facto problems just because the tech is potentially disruptive.
And that was because pizza has a very, very high markup to begin with.

From a few years ago:

Cost to make a pepperoni and sausage pizza: $1.90. Average sale price: $14.00.
Its possible that we simply havent evolved yet the mental faculties to reconcile them. After all none of these theories were around even like 200 years ago - we had in fact no clue whatsoever about any of that stuff. Mathematics is an evolving process and it can make leaps. The current knowledge might be like distinct coordinate patches on an underlying manifold that we will asymptotically cover with a consistent collection.

On the other hand it may indeed be a remarkable feature of the human mind that it can "make mathematical sense" of subsets of reality, but there is no overarching system and no reason to expect that we will be able to make simultaneous mathematical sense of "everything".

It might take a long time to collect sufficient such "metadata" to help tilt the balance.
Aerospace, semiconductor, etc., basically anywhere you have precision round parts. You can debur alot by hand but not so much external diameters which are often done on these machines for low volume / prototyping / reworking / etc.
Chargebacks are a pain but are not that frequent. You need to make a way to refund your product easily discoverable because customers go unpunished.

You can use chargeback protection on stripe or use a different payment provider which absorb the 15$ fee for chargebacks

Kudos on the technical achievement. We considered the thick client approach you're doing, and one of the reasons we punted was because it was so hard.

One really nice thing about your approach is it minimizes infrastructure cost. That positions you well for embedding use cases, like New York Times visualizations, that we struggle to do economically.

Best of luck!
Interested in knowing this as well
Lasts much longer after recharge, better for eyes, better canvas for hand writing.
Isn't it made by a Danish company?
Wow. Just looked it up; the Z80 is now _50 years old_.
Of course; if the devices doing the measuring are covered in hot manure once daily or are faulty for an infinite number of other reasons, the data can easily be low quality and/or biased. This is basic science.

The idea that bias only happens in the day is nonsense. Also, I have yet to hear that scientists are writing off the low-quality daytime data either.

As for their fudge factors to supposedly correct the data, I seriously doubt that NOAA are doing regular and representative computational fluid dynamics and raycasting simulations for each of the substandard stations to account for the various obstructions and radiative/reflective surfaces they chose to ignore when placing their sensor. They just have a crappy heuristic based on boolean algebra and round numbers.

They pass off their "corrected" low-quality data as being corroborated by other measurements but what they're really doing is using this low-quality data to corroborate other sources of data. Other sources which only started collecting data a handful of years ago (and thus could not alone support any claim about the industrial revolution causing such and such amount of warming). It's a self-licking ice cream cone.

Also, going back to the humility thing, they never seem to acknowledge that other sciences like chemistry are easily 500 years ahead of climate science. Imagine if I said that the advanced state of computer science was on par with physics (LOL). Remember the xkcd comic? Computer scientists will readily volunteer that their field is an eel pit
My contention is that I make a good faith effort to be open to the idea that others know or have experienced things or might have some thoughts that I haven’t considered adequately. And that I think this concept would be helpful to others here. That’s all, no more, no less.

It isn’t that I’m perfect, or infallible, or even immune to frustration and the occasional bout of snark. It doesn’t mean that I’m a “better” person. It also doesn’t mean that I have to accept every viewpoint as true or equally likely. Nor does it mean that I can’t criticize. Nor that I can’t take a side on a considered opinion. It doesn’t mean that this always leads to perfect results or that I’m always successful. It doesn’t mean that it’s a perfect heuristic. It’s only one more tool in a toolbox.

I think it is undervalued - and sometimes angrily pushed back against - in this community, maybe because it gets dismissed as “feelings” (and not “reason”). The reason I think this is that I've encountered here the “experienced expert with healthy self doubt versus passionate amateur with little self awareness” dynamic in action over and over again.

There’s an ongoing, half century current in the field trying to examine whether reasoning may often involve a heuristic-based, adaptive process based on incomplete and imperfect information, and less so something resembling a pure application of formal logic.

In this universe, cognitive biases extend more clearly to things like which facts you consider as possible at all in the first place and by which methods you weight them as more or less likely or influential, as opposed to merely fallacies of formal logic that we’re most often exposed to. So, the thinking goes, it can help to try to fill some gaps in this area by trying to increase the breadth of what you’re exposing yourself to and allowing yourself to take into account.

In my experience this can be a frustrating and exhausting concept to contend with as a person. You certainly can tu quoque yourself - or me, like you and others in this thread have - into oblivion. After all, what business do I have talking about cognitive biases if I've been shown to be subject the very same, and am not an expert in it? I don't know where the line is but I'm not certain it makes the concept less helpful outright. At the very least I don't think I'm claiming something that'd be considered very controversial as far as I'm aware.
I'm going to be skeptical of putting millions of on a new drug, permanently, to mask some underlying issue in society. Is there any evidence that people can be weaned off this after losing weight? Or is it expected to be permanent? This was not an issue in the past and whatever the root cause is, it's never going to be treated if we can just drug everyone into acting like they used to.
Polyrepo ends up with a mess of version management and flood of PRs to roll out minor changes

Imagine adding a field to a table that must be reflected in the front end and some other micro service consumers. Coordination can be painful.

Each system has its pros and cons, you're going to need tooling either way. I've moved to mono or mega repo as the default and break out smaller pieces into dedicated repo as needed

If you wear more classic mens clothing you can dress pretty much 100% in linen, wool, cotton, silk, leather and various brass/steel buckles. 100% merino wool (winter) or linen/cotton/silk blend (summer) for socks, underwear and t-shirts. 100% cotton and linen for shirts and trousers. 100% wool knitwear, suits, formal trousers, jackets and winter coats. 100% leather shoes.

Not to mention the clothes themselves last decades.

I find the first week brings some gastrointestinal discomfort (but not necessarily pain, just mild bloating) as your gut acclimatizes to the kefir.

Maybe just have some with your breakfast until you adjust to it. Once you can drink it with no discomfort, try some after eating a heavy meal like BBQ or AYCE Chinese food… anecdotally it makes digestion a breeze and can relieve the symptoms of overindulgence.
That’s the future CEO’s problem.

The ads are the real content from Medium’s perspective. The article is actually the medium by which the real content is delivered, like a train carrying dark passengers. The article is not what Medium cares about delivering to your browser, but the ads. And delivering the ads requires a lot of complexity.
Because the struggle is with yourself. The parent post is correct when they say:

> Career changes are literally one of the easier things in life to do if you’re determined

What makes it hard is changing yourself; not externally imposed forces. The article is full of hubris in my opinion. The author looks around at the failed friends in their peer group and goes “there, but for the sake of ‘my own intelligent choices’ go I”. The start and end of their wisdom is “make prudent choices, as you reap what you sow”. Granted, but this never ends - the “second chance” may not exist in the sense of a “do over”, but at any point of life the branches flow out, and better choices can be made.
Transformer is not a simple vector database doing simple lookup operation. It's doing lookup operation on a pattern, not a word. It learns patterns from the dataset. If your pattern is not there it will hallucinate or give you the wrong answer like GPT4 and Opus gave me hundreds of times already.
No proof. And I venture to say we'll never have proof.

That's not to say that there is no ET out there, there almost certainly is. But intelligent life is so rare, and so few and far between that it's an almost negligible probability that we'd ever meet.

Even if we did meet, there'd be so little chance of proper communication between us. (Chimps and porpoises are very close to us in genetics and intelligence. But we still can't communicate very much at all.)
So, um... you're saying I should not have dumped my life's savings into ordering Z80 chips as part of the "last time buy"? :-(
The question may have come off as implying that people do not made buying decisions based on the country of origin label. I imagine that many people’s own buying habits show them that the label does have an impact.

Spent almost 12 years at Amazon till early 2023 and some of this is very surprising to me.

I know the annoying slack retention policy but I had never heard of tickets, issues, or wikis or even git commits being auto deleted.

When I was there I could go back a decade and open up old tickets or wikis.

Why is this AI? License plate scanning technology has been around for decades. Toll booths use them everywhere.
You fix the immediate problems where you can. You buy time. You find better solutions down the line. When a person is dead, you can't find a better solution.

It's "masking" the issue as much as chemotherapy is "masking" the issue. People are dying. We have tried appeals to salads and quick walks.

Unless you got anything up your sleeve, I recommend we stick to the ol' "keep more people alive with the best stuff we currently got" plan, until information pops up, that makes this look like the morally worse option.

But in that regard preventing death is fairly hard to beat as a baseline.
I rarely get server errors on Reddit despite its massive scale… It’s the client which is a tire-fire. People blame React but that doesn’t have anything to do with it either. It’s just utter shit.

Invert this point ("SUV or a pickup colliding with a smaller car was 28 percent and 159 percent, respectively, more likely to kill that car’s driver.") to get that one is less likely to die in a big vehicle.

It is in your interest to buy and drive the biggest car you can afford, due to the presence of other large cars on the road.

It’s around £250 a month in the UK privately, when it falls under the NHS fully it will likely be even cheaper.

There is absolutely no reason for it to cost $10K per year in the US.

I’m more worried about the long term effects of it, we had plenty of “miracle drugs” in the past that resulted in significant damage long term to either those who took them or to their children.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

You are right that most trips don't need SUVs and pickups, but many families need large-ish, relatively powerful vehicles like the now dead station wagon. But it is uneconomical for car builders to make station wagons, so they don't. Instead everybody who can't fit into an economy car is pushed into an SUV or pickup by practical concerns.

On the other side, large and powerful luxury cars are also not economic for car makers to build, so instead car makers add luxury to large utility models. From there it's a trickle-down of cachet so owning a sedan or hatchback is insufficient for those who need or want to fit in with a higher economic class.

I don’t think they use generative AI much in automotive design today, but you can play with stable diffusion and embeddings and make a slider for muscle cars in the textual weights.

This article itself was written by someone with fragmented thinking. It feels like it was written by AI or just a stream of consciousness. Way too long, could have been a few paragraphs to basically make the points, that aren’t backed up by any sort of evidence.

Just because of inflation you would expect more companies to exceed 1 and 2 trillion dollar market caps over time. Their existence is not a problem to be solved. Google search, maps, email, books, scholar etc. are wonderful services that have created immense value.

Not sure where you get "everyone" from, but look at the average car cost, plus insurance and fuel and maintenance; $800 is nothing.

When I was on Ozempic, I just didn't want the milkshake. It rewires all reward centers.
It’s not about either or but portion control and limiting caloric intake. Also with alcohol it’s reduced consumption.
I'm not very familiar with the approval process for new drugs, but as far as I know it involves some initial step where the safety is assessed, and then the effectiveness. But I don't think either of those are actually long term processes (like, longer than 5 years).

So it scares me a bit when something like Ozepmic pops up and tons of people jump on it, without knowing the long term effects that might appear. I read the other day there's an entire subreddit devoted to Ozempic side effects, and those are only short term ones (maybe those being discussed there were already discovered during the trials, I don't know to be honest).

Are my fears unfounded and just the result of my lack of knowledge around the approval process and/or the inner workings of drugs?
