Why I had to be rich to earn a high income
I think the implied effect was to understand how safe a neighborhood in SF is. Partially because I moved here a week ago and didn't really understand what to avoid. This was a quick project, but yes, showing the type of crimes is important. Though generally, most crimes affect the safety of an area, which is the assumption I went with
This is just one article out of many that I've noticed here on HN over the past few weeks that are very anti-AI. As such, I have a sneaky suspicion that what I wrote is exactly what this backlash is about.

Coq has "admitted" (or "admit"), but sorry is of course way better :). Lean also has "admit".
This is absolute shite. The problem is most people now are addicted to their phones, lack basic manners, aren't interested in socializing with actual human beings, or "wait for Godot" for someone else to do all of the work of making an effort, taking a risk, and arrange social gatherings for them. When someone isn't going to take any risk or share leadership effort in the relationship, then it's not a relationship and more of a one-sided energy drain lacking in value.

> When using autopilot on a single-lane road with a 60 km/h speed limit, it performed a phantom emergency brake because there was an oncoming car (which was driving normally in its own lane) on a curve. Maybe I shouldn't have used autopilot in that situation?

I would never use Autopilot with oncoming cars. FSD is fine with oncoming cars, though.
Verizon (originally Bell Atlantic)'s history is much the same. There's even some back and forth between it and what is now AT&T over who gets what of the RBOCs and their spinoffs/successors.

Now, if Verizon and AT&T merge, then Ma Bell really will be back.
Snark aside - the interesting thing here is that we have basically fixed all the issues.

HTTP/2 was fixing all the issues while still keeping TCP as the transport layer. Http/3 is fixing all the issues you can fix if you are allowed to change the transport layer.

There are no more layers to fix.
I just find it amusing that you can hold forth on lifehacker stuff and people will take you seriously. If the article was "Pmarca guide to rebuilding the small-block Chevy 350" or "Pmarca guide to Indonesian literature" then that would raise judicable questions of authority.
Not sure this is what is going on here. Most developers I know don't feel threatened by LLMs.

From the opening paragraph of the article.

Pretty sure that's what it's about.

The number of ads you need to scroll through is bad enough.

Right, but look at the bigger picture. Immutability removes a whole lot of order of operations concerns. That frees a smart compiler to use faster algorithms, parallelization, etc. in ways that might not be safely possible if the data might change in place. Yes, that may mean it's slower to deal with individual values. It may also mean that the resulting system can be faster than otherwise.

You can't know how safe SF is from the official data, because they release criminals without charges. Most recent high profile example: Golden Gate bridge "protesters".
At first I wanted to criticize this comment as being a gross oversimplification of the city’s crime rates. After some thought though, there is a lot to be desired from the author’s when it comes down to contextualizing the data.

I mean, can the notion of safety really be relayed by showing a person a bar graphs and telling them to avoid the tall cities?

Apparently this is a hobby project though, so I think I’m expecting too much.

With this in mind, good work, HudZah.
The images bring with it their own unique set of problems. I was using it to help analyze UIs (before and after images) to determine if the changes I made were better or worse, but after using it for awhile I realized that it favored the second image in the comparison to an extent that made it difficult to tell which it thought was better. I suppose it's being trained on before and afters and generally the afters are always better!
It bothers some people that Reddit’s value was built by its user base, and then Reddit turned around and abused its relationship with them for profit (pricing out third party apps that were considerably more value than the user-hostile and poor quality first party apps, then attempting to wrest control from and silence mods and community members, pumping up impressions by forcing promoted posts or subreddits, etc.). But I think you already knew that.

'Eating your own dog food' is the best path to quality software in my opinion. Too many people working for a software company (developers, salespeople, product managers, etc.) never bother to use the software to do the kinds of things they expect their customers to use it for on a regular basis. Write the code. Make sure it passes some tests. Move on to the next project. This is common.

No wonder so many bugs never get reported unless many customers run into it much later. I have a project I work on regularly. I use it regularly to do productive things and I find most of the bugs just doing that. I had a couple different 'business partners' who talked a good game, but I could not get them to actually use the software and give me feedback on how to improve it. Neither one added much value to it and quickly moved on to other things.
This happened to me with Namecheap a year ago. I bought a $XX .io domain for what I thought was a steal, paid for it and everything. Namecheap canceled the order, refunded me, and now it's on sale for $X,XXX.

Apparently it was a "third party domain listing" and totally not their fault, of course.
> It seems one of the potential stumbling blocks is mandatory arbitration unless you thought to opt-out very early.

It's actually so wild that the judge upheld arbitration[1]. I guess he's technically correct that it doesn't "waive a plaintiff's right to seek public injunctive relief" but it definitely makes it way more annoying.

I'm pretty certain your assistant learned to do all of those things more or less on her own. Of course, you shared your schedule and email with them, and similarly, you'd have to share your schedule and email with an AGI.

But you certainly didn't have to write a special program for your assistant to integrate with your inbox, they just used an existing email/calendar client and looked at their screen.

GPT-4 is nowhere near able to interact with, say, the Gmail web page at this level. And even if you created the proper integrations, it's nowhere near the level that it could read all incoming email and intelligently decide, with high accuracy, which emails necessitate updates to your calendar, which don't, and which necessitate back-and-forth discussions to negotiate a better date for you.

Sure, your assistant didn't know all of this on day one, but they learned how to do it on their own, presumably with a few dozen examples at most. That is the mark of a general intelligence.

> The only reason I don't use it all the time now is because every 15-60 seconds you need to nudge the steering wheel (or change volume or speed) so it knows you are paying attention.

I often drive with my elbow on the top of the door, hand on the side of the wheel. The weight of my arm is enough that I frequently go many minutes without needing to nudge.

Otherwise, I agree. The nudging is so annoying that it's "more fun" to just drive.
Almost the same story. I mostly stashed away computers I had like comodores, amigas, spectrums etc or exchanged with fellows in same hobby. I also had luck that I worked with SGI machines, even though I love my amigas (3d work at the time). My primary interest are consoles, of which I managed to get a full set of few (snes, n64) in time. I think "I'm done" though, except these two. Maybe Sam Coupe as the ultimate in Spectrum story, don't know. When you say every Commodore.. surely not the 65 too?
I mean, that's kind of misinterpreting their point. The authors are not claiming otherwise.

> But to me what is wild about this case is that the Justice Department is bringing down the full weight of US federal criminal law to protect Ethereum front-running bots.

What is surprising about that? The US tax man is making shitload of money happily taxing gains US citizens are making on cryptocurrencies. Not to mention businesses like Coinbase and Circle that are not only paying their taxes in the US but are also, at times, buying a lot of US government debt. The US government is, literally, indebted to these companies and functioning partly thanks to the taxes paid by crypto holders.

You cannot have your cake and eat it too: if you want to collect taxes, you take care of the bad actors. If you want Coinbase to operate in Dubai and all crypto-related companies in the US to move to the UAE or Switzerland, you outlaw crypto altogether in the US once and for all.

But then you don't come crying from the taxpayers dollars you don't get.

Exactly right. Government subsidies makes a lot of things appear viable and/or affordable, when in reality they are not. Subsidies are bolstered by politics.

Wind farms appear as ridiculous as they are. Yet... they keep getting built because there's government money to be made. There's government money to be made because they give the appearance of "doing something, anything" while in fact doing almost nothing. Follow the votes...

This is one of the more wild social concepts that the modern age of social media has super charged. At its core: what’s the acceptable line between presenting counter-views versus heresy? And one level up: what’s the responsibility of the audience to consider any counter, even heresy?

Is software getting slower faster than hardware getting faster?
Recently we had a discussion in a local group of programmers and there was a newbie question about which mac laptop he should buy. He wanted a mac because some tasks required a mac. My immediate advice was to buy an m1 since he was trying to optimize the budget. And my argument was that it is fast and will handle all his workloads. But I got a little push-back saying that "Android Studio" was not fast enough on some of the group's m1 macs and they switched to m3.

Opinions were divided when we discussed this in our group in about 50/50. Some people were saying that they have m1 macs and it works perfectly and others saying that it is ok but was lagging on some tasks.

My surprise is that I remember when m1 came it was like a product from future aliens. It was miles ahead of any competition and nobody had a single thought that it couldn't handle anything. I remember at the time Jonathan Blow (game developer) on his stream was answering a question about m1 and said something along the lines "Yeah it's fast but I don't care. Give it a couple of years and software slowness will catch up to it and it won't matter". At the time I was fascinated with the product and John seemed like a grumpy old-school programmer. But now it feels weird. I am not saying that m1 is slow or bad but just the idea that we are discussing if it can handle some basic programmer workloads and it is not 100% "of course" is strange.

I was wondering if it is similar in other groups or if we had just some statistical error in our group?
My favorite is accursedUnutterablePerformIO
https://hackage.haskell.org/package/bytestring-0.12.1.0/docs...

This "function" has a superficial similarity to unsafePerformIO but it is in fact a malevolent agent of chaos. It unpicks the seams of reality (and the IO monad) so that the normal rules no longer apply. It lulls you into thinking it is reasonable, but when you are not looking it stabs you in the back and aliases all of your mutable buffers. The carcass of many a seasoned Haskell programmer lie strewn at its feet.

I concede, though I think this is a later innovation of the Rabbinate; Gehenna is an actual place, an ancient garbage dump, on the outskirts of Jerusalem. It is not referenced as a spiritual plane in the Torah like the Lake of Fire (Hell) in Christianity or Islam. It likely gained that interpretation under the influence of Platonism. I am not (yet) a Jew so I can't speak authoritatively to Jewish eschatology, but I think there's more room for give and take in the Talmud and Zohar (where Gehinnom is referenced) as it's the recorded wisdom of rabbis rather than Law itself. This is just my understanding based on my studies thus far.

Choosing Fonts for Complex Data
For newer emoji, if you want to know how it was originally supposed they might be used, you can look up the proposal to the Unicode Consortium for its inclusion.[1] Some of them are quite fun to read. Unfortunately Unicode's page is currently loading like I'm on 28k dial-up and you have to wait for it to get down to the one you want.

The old ones like "Nail Polish" were also proposed in large groups and don't have a special document just for themselves. But new ones do, for example:

"Dotted-line face": https://www.unicode.org/cgi-bin/GetDocumentLink?L2/20-223

"Head shaking horizontally": https://www.unicode.org/cgi-bin/GetDocumentLink?L2/23-034

Yep. I had 1 Gbps for 2 years and 2 Gbps for 2 years. (Can get 5 or 8 Gbps, and possibly 20 with a beta program.) GF excludes most of the downtown core except for Google buildings.

Well, it's a front door. There's really nothing sneaky about this. The people who made this law were completely OK with prisoners being slaves and said so openly. And if I was to hazard a guess I would assume the prisoners slaves of their time had a much higher mortality rate than ours do.
I think it's just not possible for a centralized social media service to avoid enshittification long-term, at least not if it has to make money directly. It remains to be seen whether decentralized options can provide a long-term alternative at scale.
Given how big the population in their dataset is, it's quite representative. Moreover, with such a low turnover percentage, it wouldn't get much bigger.
I'm highly suspicious of such a claim. So you're saying that in a 25mph zone, a cop will pull you for doing 25mph because you're holding up people that wish to exceed the speed limit? Not in any U. S. state that I've lived in.
The most surprising result to me is how scholars tended to report that moral concerns that a study’s conclusions could harm vulnerable groups was NOT a valid reason to avoid publishing (M = 29.61, SD = 27.68). I assumed this was a primary motivation for all the tiptoeing around taboo topics.
You do have to validate UTF-8 strings:

- You can't just skip stuff if you run any kind of normalization

- How would you index into or split an invalid UTF-8 string?

- How would you apply a regex?

- What is its length?

- How do you deal with other systems that do validate UTF-8 strings?

Meta point: scanning a sequence of byte for invalid UTF-8 sequences is validating. The decision to skip them is just slightly different code than "raise error". It's probably also a lot slower as you have to always do this for every operation, whereas once you've validated a string you can operate on it with impunity.

Love this for the hot take/big swing, but it's a whiff.
That's why try not to use them in work chats

However, three days before his resignation, the Justice Department issued its own opinion to the contrary: “Under the fundamental rule that no one may be a judge in his own case, the President cannot pardon himself.”[1]

If the common appearance of an emoji doesn't match its Unicode description, it can happen that we permanently "lose" certain emojis. For example, I once wondered why there is no "pouting face" emoji. There is one in the Unicode standard, but Apple decided to implement it as "red angry face" (even though there already was an angry face), and everyone followed suit. The end.
