(1) The announcement (https://stackoverflow.co/company/press/archive/openai-partne...) says things will be attributed in both the 2nd and 3rd paragraph

(2) It's only likely to attribute if it quotes verbatim... Just like a human. when I tell someone I learned that Array.map's second parameter passed to the callback is an index to the value just pass, I don't add "And learned this on Stack Overflow from user gtriloni". It's just knowledge that I learned.

The only time I'd attribute is if copied a snippet of code or a paragraph to quote in a blog post. For me at least, that almost never happens. It take the knowledge I learned and apply it to my own code. It's rare if ever there is a something on S.O. so useful that I copy it verbatim.

One area general-purpose game engines tend to fall flat is HTML exports, which are particularly important for things like Game Jam entries or short-form art pieces that would be a hassle to download and install. Unity and Godot can both create web builds, but they tend to be dozens of megabytes, taking tens of seconds to load on a web page, and often simply crash on non-Chrome browsers. These aren't unsolvable problems, but they've consistently been a low priority, and in my opinion this is why neither engine has become a modern Flash equivalent.

Meanwhile, a baseline Decker web build weighs less than 400kb (which includes all the editing tools, if enabled), loads instantly, and will work fine on older releases of Firefox or Safari. Bitsy[1] is another example of a lightweight, simple game-making tool, and a great deal of its popularity comes from how easy it is to share and try out Bitsy games on sites like itch.io.

I guess my main point is there's tons of "room at the bottom" for lightweight development platforms.

John West endured the worst, to bring you the best.
Regulations.

If they don't care, some government will force some worse regulation on them.

... and DJI is a Chinese company, where the government have no shame making up ad-hoc arbitrary rules.
And google is giving the service for free. Pretty good.
Sounds counter intuitive but breathwork reduces o2 to brain. Basically due to reduced co2, blood vessels in the brain constrict.

Having said that, I worked with a breathwork teacher for a while, creating narrative for the session, for mental imagery and guidance. It also had music as a backdrop. Fun times. And it was definitely altered state for a lot of people.
> No rigid format or gatekeeping like stackoverflow.

What bothers about gatekeeping? I could guess, but I'm asking so you say it out loud. Then you can compare it against other problems, such as moats (competitive barriers).

OpenAI spent something like $3M on training GPT-3. This is a pretty big moat. But almost certainly more valuable in dollar terms is the first-mover advantage which provides millions of human eye-hours used for RLHF.

I wouldn't be so eager to trade the gatekeepers you so fear for even an openly available chat service that is happy to automate away as much information work as possible.

The Stack Overflow model is (was) pretty darn good -- people help each other out, the company made money, some people got noticed for their skills, products got build faster and better (on the whole, I hope). Contrast the human-generated content era to what we have now which appears to be the machine-ingesting content era. There are legions of lawsuits against companies scraping data without permission and/or attribution.
> The conservative legal group said Red Hat announced DEI goals that involved “quotas”, aiming “to remake its workforce demographic, seeking to reach 30% women globally and 30% associates of color in the United States by 2028.”

If true, this is a pretty clear case. If explicit racial and gender quotas isn't discrimination, what is? This goal could be equivalent phrased as "reduce the share of male employees below 70%, and the share of white (and probably Asian, too) below 70%".
Short answer: because developers behind the products (with some exceptions) do care.

About end users.

Long answer: when you live and work as a developer long enough, you don’t need long answers anymore.
all I am saying is credit where credit is due.

I think that it is fair to recognize that SBF/FTX selected some wise investments, and I dont think that was all pure luck.

Im not trying to make any wild claim beyond that about morality, you are the one bringing that into it.
> Earlier on, people would tell the CTO it wasn't working out, instead of lying and saying the opposite.

That's the part of the story that gets me. Everyone is acts so gutless.
This advice will depend upon having a decent safety net, obviously.
When I was in 6th grade I would get released from class 15 minutes early and was charged with changing the litter and feeding the school cat. This only took 5-10 minutes, tops. So I'd spend the last few minutes of each day in the librarian's office playing tetris on one of these displays.

Humans also do search. Also, engines arent doing an exhaustive search when they are 20 moves deep. They heavily prune.
Then they'd likely get sued because the license for the answers are CC-BY-SA, putting them in a book, claiming they wrote everything themselves, and selling them are all against the license.

On the other hand, if they read my answers and they wrote a book about what they learned (not copied). There'd be no issues
Nice. I wonder if it prevents background activity too? If I block Whatsapp using this app, would it still fetch messages in the background?
Anyone have insights working with Ikigai’s “Large Graphical Model” and how well it does on time-series? It’s proprietary, but I’m curious how well it performs.
the most far-fetched justification I can muster up for this: the UI/user requried a tabular display of all tickets as columns with one row per user ... and they had a UI that only displays DB table contents as-is.

Nah, even for a 5pm demo that just sounds absurd (with up to 500 tickets per user).
You start with "climate is changing", then there are a lot of implicit steps and you end up at "there's going to be a mass movement" and transition to "most likely lead to famine and wars". There are two jumps there; both unlikely to play out.

People might import food from newly created foodbowls for example - as far as I recall China technically can't feed its own population without imports and that hasn't caused any famines. Or it may turn out edible plants can adapt really easily to temperatures in the 40+ range, it wouldn't be the first time we've adjusted our food to suit conditions that it wouldn't naturally cope with.

And we already have mass movements; something like 4% humans [0] migrated during their life. Things like people fleeing world wars I & II were probably extreme too. The movements were generally net positives for the receiving country. It isn't clear mass movements do lead to wars, or implicitly need to.

And to top it all off, people might just not migrate. It is most likely cheaper to build local shelters than uproot a family and move countries. As I mentioned upthread, if you describe normal conditions in a random Russian town it sounds like hell on earth - it is hell on earth, 9th circle stuff - people still live there. No mass migrations.

Underlying principles are nice for science, whatever works is nice for engineering. There is plenty of historical precedent where we build stuff that works without knowing exactly why it works.
TUI apps aren't optimized for the productivity of power users, and by the same token, replacing a GUI app with a legacy TUI framework will not necessarily make it easier while almost definitely will make it harder since some advanced productive UI patterns simply don't get implemented in TUIs - they might not've been invented/known at the time this legacy framework was created

Thus there is no innate framework benefit, only downside, so it doesn't make sense to handicap yourself tying to this legacy
I prefer iPhones because Apple products are like automatic transmission: they just work.

However, I prefer (Windows) PC's because they are like manual transmission: I have more control. Of course, PC's seem to be more cost-effective (for a personal machine for someone who likes tinkering with computers). There seem to be more software options, too. There are a few MacOS programs I wish I could use though, like: TaskPaper and nvAlt.

---

One of my friends wanted to use Linux for work, but had to use MacOS because it was impossible to get audio/video working for video chat. (I heard Linux audio/video support has gotten better recently.)

Apple products "just working" might be another reason they are popular tech worker daily drivers (although I've heard it's gone downhill recently). The extra cost may be justified by the time saved not having to fiddle with your laptop to get it working.

A tech worker probably costs more than $100/hr, so you would reach positive ROI within a few hours of not messing with the laptop.
Hilarious attempt to play on the 'crazy conspiracy theorist' narrative that RFK has been a victim of. Not sure if it's some reverse psychology tactic to make people want to vote for him instead of Trump or they actually want to discredit him.

Well, it's called short selling.

If there's enough fluctuation in the price of carbon credits, Shell could make a profit even if they are required to buy them back to balance the books.

It was probably not a good idea to treat these things like financial instruments.
> NYC was famously crime ridden for at least a century.

Where does that come from? All of the US had high crime rates from ~1970s to 2000 (as a rough guess). NYC doesn't stand out, afaik; some other cities had higher crime rates.

> Today, just as in London, crime past a certain value or a non injury car accident, is not investigated.

What makes you say that has changed from the past?
> Does this sound insane to you?
Early in my career, a client came to us with their internally developed perl web app that was very slow and asked us to help them. They were storing all of the information as csv files and would do exactly that, read the entire file, add a new row etc...

We explained to them that we should rewrite it for them :)
I’ve seen a few vids on building Nerf sentry turrets with vision-based target tracking. That seems like it could be misused.
I'm familiar with Xlisp, Microsoft Lisp, and PC-Scheme. What I'm not sure about is how performant they were, or whether large systems could be built with them.
I suspect, if ChatGPT quotes an answer or a snippet it will show attribution and a license for snippet. If it instead only uses the knowledge it gained from the answer/snippet and writes it's own answer, then, just like a human, it won't attribute
Yeah on macos the communication between your app and the window server (which is conveniently called WindowServer) happens via mach ports. Most of it is undocumented, in fact anything more "low-level" than using AppKit is undocumented, although IIRC it is in principle possible to use undocumented CG* apis to create and manipulate windows yourself without going through the appkit layers. I think each CG* api is basically a thin shim that communicates to the window server, which has a corresponding CGX* implementation which does the actual logic. This article has some details https://keenlab.tencent.com/en/2016/07/22/WindowServer-The-p...
Yup, it’s exactly this for me. I recently spent about six months with Fedora. It felt good and did everything I needed it to, but it was plagued by connectivity issues with my Bluetooth keyboard and mouse.

I have things to do. Diagnosing driver/chipset compatibility problems doesn’t help me get those things done, so back to macOS I went.
My best guess is it started as a single ticket column, then maybe a manual migration to quickly add a second when a rat's nest of code was built around the single column already.
Planar Motors makes a spiffy, but not exactly low power, system. I have no idea whether they’ve sold many.

I’ve been doing infrastructure for 27 years.

Around a dozen years ago, my business was designing building and supporting physical infrastructure for startups.

One company was humming along nicely on $4000 of used hardware and a $2000 a month cage in a Colo facility.

Their business had ramped up and got some funding, so we got them another 60k worth of hardware in nother facility.

They onboarded still more customers to where they needed a few thousand dollars worth of SSDs to keep up with their random io demands.

But their new VC-installed CTO was like… No! We spent all this money on hardware and it’s not doing what we need it to! That’s crap! We’re gonna move to the cloud and save money.

So they moved to Amazon.

Their first month’s bill was $50,000. And it only went up from there.

The cloud is dandy for small workloads. But where you’ve got a consistently large workload the break even point on owning your hardware is a lot lower than most people think, even factoring in infra management expenses.
Thanks for the data. I think the first number is especially meaningful.

You don't need all caps or exaggeration - you have data!
>> We both know that going live is gonna be the big hurdle just dont tell them that till your ready.

Yeah. There are over 5000 stores that this will roll out to, so it'll go slow there. Fortunately there's a dedicated (separate) testing team so thats good.

>> Break this down. Break it down into granular chunks even if they are a month long

Part of the problem is that it's not easy to break down at this point. We are aware that "it doesn't run". (There are underlying classes which affect things.) What we don't know is "how many class issues are outstanding". We knock them off, and we move to the next one. We "feel" like its close now. But any attempt at quantification is simply speculation.

We have tried -not- to introduce speculation into the process because that's not data. When we're pushed on providing speculate data (when will this be done?) we ecplain why that's impossible for us to determine and suggest (to the middle manager) that he guesses instead. He tends to not push too hard there.

Part of building trust (at least as far as him) is in not making-stuff-up. We're clear on what we do know, and clear on what we don't know.

Obviously I don't know yo what extent that is passed on upstream. Upstream are keen on dates, targets, reports on "accomplishments", all the usual management. "We don't know" is good data for them, but not what they want to hear, and perhaps not helpful to them.
The positives (profit) are privatised, whilst the negatives (pollution) are socialised (and sometimes/often socialised to a country out of sight and out of mind of the country in which the profits are privatised).

Something... Anything that counteracts this unfortunately universal situation has needed enacting for, as you say, 30-40 years at least. And yet I can't see there being any movement towards this for the foreseeable future.
Until recently they could. There were programs for gifted kids. But then DEI ruined that as well.
I think these articles are great.

It's about understanding what you do and what infra is appropriate.

I have to wonder how that would look with a negotiated AWS discount. But they might get beaten to death by incoming bandwidth costs anyway.
thanks for explaining on what are column-oriented DBs are in a ELI5 way
> NY feel 50% more unsafe than in 2017

You have actual data - why kill your argument by exaggerating it?

The stats you posted are about perception, not actual events. If people read other people constantly badgering them about safety, of course they will worry about it.
A: Because throwing the CTO under the bus is always career enhancing ...

B: That isn't throwing anyone under the bus. I've literally had that conversation.

This led me to believe B had a literal conversation where a literal CTO was not-literally thrown "under the bus", meaning "authority figure was told the CTO was to blame for $X". Authority figure for a CTO is generally CEO.
Execution is what matters in startups, if they either can't find developers who are halfway decent or if a cofounder wrote this, that's a major red flag that they don't know how to execute.
I have never bought an Apple product and likely never will, so there's that.
The 30 years point is an interesting one. Consider Oakland, who has all but abandoned the Coliseum and A's field, both served by a dedicated BART station that opened in 1972 after planning since the late 1950s. Compare how easy it is to get to this stadium vs. the new one for the 9'ers built right on 237 with no transit.
I suspect the poster would argue you’re not average - possibly even because you’re on HN to say so.
Birds are actually fairly straightforward to evade—you rapidly ascend vertically. If the bird tried to follow, its wings would stall (they can feel this happening and avoid it).
The pixel checkerboard pattern on the page's background paired with smooth scrolling on an LCD display can unfortunately result in some distracting flashing afterimages.

Perhaps the issue could be reduced by using `background-attachment: fixed` and changing the element that has the pattern to be the <body> tag, so that the background is fixed on the browser's viewport?

Why not? If you can machine it from metal, it is easier to machine it from plastic. I fabricate plastic replacements often with a drill, files, and saw.
I don't know if there are still a lot of Tesla shorts, but I wonder if they could offer to fund one of these settlements and then pay for any fines for the person to then breach the gag order. Maybe there are not enough FSD customers for this to have a material impact in terms of dollars but I'd have to think it would impact reputation.
It's still open for submissions, by the way.
“Stuff just works” for 99%+ of what I do daily, including HN, photos and music scores.

When I start coding again, the old hardware will get Linux and OpenBSD for networking. The old MacBook Air still works after over 14 years (?) and maybe the Mac cube as well, but I am not a history buff.

I just loaded Trunk Notes, a 14 year old Wiki app, onto the brand new phone, and it runs.

I have versions of Unix shell and Jupyter Notebooks running on iOS, FWIW, no sideloading or jailbreak needed.
NCC is really terrifying. There's no real prophylaxis methods for humans AFAIK. However, the disease should be eradicable now by vaccination of pigs. If not everywhere, at least certain countries. For example Madagascar is among the worst affected by NCC and it's an island country so complete eradication should be easier. Some actually effective altruist billionaire should step up and do it.
from AWS/GCP/Azure/you_name_it's perspective, it may be worth to give that 90% discount extra, just to ensure

2. avoid such writeups with _numbers_ at all

Brief Thoughts and Observations on Yesterday's iPad Keynote
A policing tactic back in the 1990s was 'Broken Windows', which did what you said - fix the little stuff and the big issues will improve. It was controversial, as you say, because at least in some places the strategy became 'oppress black and brown males' so the white people can feel safe.

I've read one news story on an analysis of Broken Windows (so not a lot of data) said that outcomes were not correlated with that strategy. Crime went down everywhere, whether or not they used Broken Windows.

Mayors and police chiefs, etc. are called geniuses or fools in strong correlation with national trends, especially the economy. Lots of 1990s mayors, etc. were geniuses as the economy boomed and crime came down nationwide.

When you build a building, it starts by digging a hole and then filling it up. Then you see walls go up etc. Although progress is visible, visible can lie.

Obviously the project had milestones. But it is in the nature of big conversions/updates that you will encounter things you don't know. We're in that stage now of killing the unknowns.

It's not a linear process and the quantity of them is unknown. So at this point metrics become hard. (We hit all the targets for the "knowns", and we continue to squash the unknowns, so the dev team is confident, but management is nervous.)

Progress is easy to digest. But (for now) there's no easy "finish line" to see, which makes their lives hard.

There's no "quick fix" here where "better paperwork" would improve things. As much as you (and indeed management) would like that.
