> Terminals deal with streams of bytes.

But is this a fundamental constraint, or something we can challenge? Is there any good reason why terminals can't deal with structured data instead?

> There’s also the ansi standard control sequences, which imo should have more focus on them as opposed to the terminfo db.

Everything in that sentence \033[31;1;4munderlines\033[0m the problem to me: If we didn't need to nest metadata into the byte stream, none of us needed wrestle with escape sequences. And that such a thing like the terminfo db even needs to exist speaks volumes about the lengths we have to go to to accommodate for decades of cruft…

Applications should neither be concerned with what color codes the output device can render, nor should the terminal itself have to support hundreds of emulation targets.
Can it be taught calculus?

Their example is California, where electricity prices are about 0.40-0.65/kWh.

That's quite a lot of cost.
Graham Hancock insists that his ideas aren't being taken seriously by the archeological community because they find them too threatening, rather than for the real reason: that they think he's plain wrong.

In this view, archaeologists "know" that he's really on to something, but refuse to look closer. He's claimed to have been "banned" from Egypt (which might even be true, I don't know). The whole vibe is this is the truth that THEY don't want you to know.
This is about Shaken Baby Syndrome, which I learned from one of your comments is a fraudulent diagnosis: only a fraction of the "shaken babies" are actually abused. The Ask HN was about 'useless projects'. From /u/rossant's conclusion to his comment:

Does this fit your definition of "useless"?

D3 is from jQuery era so there are a lot of methods for manually manipulating the DOM like d3.select() and then selection.attr() etc. but those patterns tend to lead to components that are lengthy, hard to read and hard to maintain. Arguably a better approach is to group each D3 module based on whether it "modifies DOM" or "doesn't modify DOM". Then use React/Svelte to declaratively render the DOM and only use the D3 modules from the latter group for their math utilities.

I think there have been fewer young technology founders because I think technology has become less and less accessible. There is so much more to sift through to get from an idea to a project or product than there was 10-20 years ago.

I'm saying this as someone who is relatively young, so keep that in mind.
Well done!

Ignore the grumpy haters in this thread and keep going.
I expect batteries will replace peaker plants entirely. They're superb at delivering precise on-demand power in bursts, which is exactly the role those plants used to fill.

They also pair exceptionally well with solar power, because grid demand is highest in the few hours around sunset, and batteries can store the extra solar during the day to meter out over that peak period after the sun sets.
> it makes sense to error on the cautionary side of Do no harm.

Unfortunately many hospitals have mandated reporter policies, which in some states makes them effectively extensions of law enforcement bodies (including CPS).

My personal opinion is that this is in direct conflict with the need for privacy between patients and their providers, who are no longer able to exercise judgement about what is best for the people they are treating.
No, no, the government interjecting themselves into housing and creating an artificial scarcity, to aid their favoured voters at the time, is the problem. The idea that the solution to this is not to have the government step back but to have them become even more involved by redistributing this wealth distortion to their new favoured voters is a further level of madness.

Well tbf Kremlin (as typically used) isn’t just a USSR reference it’s a specific place in Moscow. Still used as a metonym for Russia’s government.

That said I do actually love that Soviet propaganda aesthetic. Can appreciate not wanting to be associated with the existing madman running Russia though.
Mobile scene in USA is much improved than 10 years ago in my opinion. ATT/Verizon were too expensive and T-Mobile despite that poor service made a big difference.

So basically the Steam Machines or the 3DO concepts. We know they don't work for the manufacturers because they can't be priced competitively against regular consoles that can subsidize hardware with game sales.

That's definitely not true. They didn't build pyramids of that size after the Old Kingdom, but they definitely had impressive engineering and crafts. The largest computer ever built was finished in 1963—why don't we build computers that large anymore? Because "largest computer" isn't a useful metric.

>How would you even function in the real world if you were so easily offended?

They DON'T function in the real world. Rich people, especially the uber new rich in SV do not interact with the real world, but rather with a purchased world from companies selling "lifestyle". They have people bring them groceries that they never see the bill for, because everything is handled by their accountant. They are thin skinned, so they surround themselves with yesmen to continually tell them they are awesome. They write trite, useless blog posts about "working harder" and their army of loyal sycophants eat it up.

That's not what the lawsuit is about. It says that state agents were pretending to be caregivers in the hospital. They illegally searched the kids and accessed medical records. Also they kept the kids from their parents illegally.
Suspicion based on some of the other articles is just somebody who's really an in-depth Apple user.

> I wonder how significant their negligence was to lead to a 250 million judgment.

The linked article makes it sound as if the accusation was entirely due to a bad diagnosis of a medical condition, which was easily contradicted by standard medical tests/imaging that was available to the hospital staff.

But make no mistake, a $250mil judgement has nothing to do with the significance of judgement, and everything to do with juries that make up ridiculous amounts which are later reduced on appeal.
Considering resx has been supported for decades, why not just convert the resx into whatever the translator team wants?

Reading/writing resx is 10 lines of code or something. I just dump ours into an excelsheet with one column per language, because for whatever reason the translators wants it in excel like that. Then when they are done I convert it back to resx files.

How exactly are you doing that? The average price of a standard-feature line (i.e., not a MVNO with strict deprioritization) is approximately $70 USD a month (including taxes and fees, but not including any phone subsidy or equipment plans)

Even a strict hyper-cut-down MVNO (say something like Mint Mobile) is still about $20 a month per line on average, for their cheapest plan. And T-Mobile acquired Mint, so it's pricing will almost certainly rise in a year or two. (T-Mobile did the same thing to Metro when it acquired their network + subscribers, prices were doubled after a few years)

Yeah it is under the SMTP that the microsoft email appears and that's why Google says it isn't their problem. Which I'm still just not sure how in any world a customer receiving spam is considered not their problem.

But I was suggesting that the actual content in the headers should be providing a hint at spam. Because if something like being "from" home depot shouldn't match with an edu domain. Still, these emails are just wild and I'm very upset that google will do nothing about them. I get them at least once a week.

And it is unfortunately hard to switch emails... I'm in the process by trying to create unique emails with a relay service so I can just redirect, but still....

> I don't see the issue with this?

Consider the incentives the government has created here.

You can't build new housing, or it's extremely expensive because it's limited to specific lots and then you have to buy out whatever happens to be there even if they don't want to sell, and destroy a 5 story building in order to build a 10 story building, doubling costs while halving the increase in housing. Housing is thereby expensive.

So you tax people who own housing. Well, that doesn't lower rents, because there are still the same number of people who need somewhere to live but now fewer people to invest in new construction because it's less profitable with more of the money going to taxes, so that lowers supply even more and rents increase to cover the new taxes.

This an undersupply problem. You don't fix it by taxing suppliers.
It is still acceptable to make "don't drop the soap" jokes on mainstream non-edgy (Think Jay Leno, John Stewart, or Jimmy Fallon) talk shows in the US. Our Criminal System and the lack of mainstream antipathy towards it is horrendous.

I'm shocked Google thought this tool was production worthy, since it mostly gives really wrong results, in a confident manner. I don't think you can reasonable expect all users to realize it is low quality nonsense, when it is presented at the top of the results.

It's one thing if you know you are using an LLM tool, but when using a search engine, people won't expect this.
I think this is the biggest flaw in LLMs and what is likely going to sour a lot of businesses on their usage (at least in their current state). It is preferable to give the right answer to a query, it is acceptable to be unable to answer a query - we run into real issues, though, when a query is confidently answered incorrectly. This recently caused a major headache for AirCanada - businesses should be held to the statements they make, even if those statements were made by an AI or call center employee.
> It's only recently that congress has decided that we can't amend the constitution, despite that being such an important and essential part of how the constitution was supposed to work, that the founders put together a bunch of amendments before the constitution was even ratified.

Congress hasn't decided this. It's just gotten so polarized and dysfunctional that getting the broad consensus needed for meaningful amendments is seen as not worth it, because it's a foregone conclusion that it will fail.

And that's why, instead of passing laws and amendments, we over-rely on the reinterpretation of existing laws using the judicial branch and give more powers to the executive branch when possible. It's to deal with perpetual gridlock. (I'm not saying this is good, BTW; IMO, we need to reduce gridlock in general).
Finding equivalent idioms in different languages is one of the most fun things to do with LLMs.

One of the tricky parts, if you plan to actually use the idioms, is that they very greatly between different regions that use the same language. Particularly tricky with Spanish, considering so many countries on so many different continents use it. I haven't found LLMs to be good at knowing what regions use any given expression.
Really? Open Settings, there's a "Search" tab on the sidebar. Literally the first item is "default search engine".

At the bottom of that tab is the "Search shortcuts", which makes it trivially easy to have multiple search engines installed and use the one you want from your search bar. (I use @g for google, @d for DDG, and @k for Kagi, with an @v for DevDocs.io)
The author of the article is annoyed about waiting for the results to appear in a box that takes up almost the whole screen (obscuring the traditional non-AI results). The author also points out that sometimes the AI information is wrong.
Agh, this is so close to being a really interesting perspective.

"Advanced" can mean a couple of different things. I think your comment and Graham Hancock's stuff is using it in the sense of "technologically advanced", i.e., access to earth-moving equipment or something.

But there's also "advanced" in the sense of "ability to reason", and that's much more interesting to think about!

I think there's a tendency in the modern perspective to equate technological advancement with intelligence, and so we (laypeople and dilletantes especially) tend to think of these long-ago cultures as being sort of comprised of primitive people because they built primitive things, by modern standards. Writing systems, technology, politics & governance, math, chemistry, mechanical systems, metallurgy and materials science, medicine -- minor periodic and localized variations aside, all of these were pretty darn primitive, near as we can tell, and so the people must have been, too.

But maybe advanced people do primitive things because the process of developing technology takes a long time. Think about everything that's required to reliably produce steel; maybe a prerequisite for steel is 10,000 years of agriculture.

The "Primitive Technology" channel on YouTube is a great case study. We have an individual who has access to modern knowledge and technology, but re-producing it is extraordinarily laborious and he's still in the mud hut phase of development -- and he can escape that time period at any time to get access to modern medicine and a rich, nutrient-dense diet.

I think this might be a strong argument against ancient technologically advanced civilizations (and alien claptrap). It's unlikely that things really developed that much out-of-order because it just takes too dang long to develop all the steps between basic agriculture and powered machinery. It's kind of like that counter-argument against the "moon landing was a hoax" nutters: in 1969, we didn't yet have the film technology required to fake a moon landing. It was easier to get on a rocket to the dang thing! We knew it could be possible to fake it, but we didn't have the tools to do it, yet.

So, it's fun to think of past cultures and neolithic humans as being basically us, in terms of intelligence and reasoning and capability, but without any of the modern affordances we have now.

60%+ of cost on my bill in northern CA is delivery, not generation. Which is dumb, cause it's a fixed cost charged as variable, but that's a separate discussion.
The primary reason it should not be listed is that it entirely distracts from the content, as one can see by there being few comments (as of right now) that talk about the contents. Only comments about age.
I think it is one thing to mandate reporting, and another thing entirely for the state to absolve itself of responsibility for vetting that reporting.

That's great!

You have excellent inspirations, both of them.

It's also awesome that your adventures with parsers happen quite early in your coding life, that's a big plus, you will look at things from different perspective. (Btw, contrary to some other commenters here, I think it's great you have mentioned your age xD).

Btw, I totally recommend getting into VM-based approach from the second half of Robert Nystrom's book. It's not only closer to how hardware works, but also it resembles how early compilers were written when memory was scarce. I implemented stuff based on that approach and learned a lot, even though I am coding for thirty years. If you had some comments, questions or even already hacked on that, I'd love to hear about it - you can find the email on my profile page here.

Good luck!

Banach spaces looking like lightweight Euclidian spaces (in terms of constraints), and reality being experienced as data and applications, I'm going to try and say that:

Physics is a subset of Mathematics but which subset we don't exactly know.

In a sense, physics is the self-referential discovery of a subset of mathematics.

Makes sense since "existence" is impredicative.
Seems more like .26-.46/kWh[0] And at a quick glance that seems more likely (to me) to be a response to capital cost spikes after all the wildfires as well as higher labor costs for the state, rather than because they are shifting to batteries[1]. The delivery layer is definitely bloated though, I agree with you there. Personally I think that's a regulatory capture problem.
