Good we moved to matrix already. I just hope they start putting more emphasis on Element X, which message handling is broken on iOS for weeks now.
Absolutely not.
For example, there is literally nothing at all in common between a Postgres query and a Clickhouse query except some very basic surface-level syntax.

(And even then lots of things are incompatible, e.g., count(*) vs count())

This implicit JOIN feature is already present in HQL and also in Jooq. It's very convenient, especially when you use a star-like table structure where the important data table is basically just IDs and references.

Doesn't that seem to implicitly state that property values are precisely what they're thinking about when trying to keep the poors away? If the poors are able to move in then the value of the property must be inexpensive for them to be able to.
It's totally ok that you wouldn't have had the same gut feeling — but I absolutely did. I wrote that because it seemed like the binder was unnecessary information posed specifically in the photo to try to gain my trust. I think that's largely because the binder was unnecessary information posed specifically in the photo to try to gain my trust.

Bonus trivia I didn't mention: if you look at the invoice preceding the one in the binder, it has the logo for the 1992 (!) Barcelona Olympics at the top. A real weird thing to put in your 'Bills 2000 — 2010' binder! I do think this binder is totally real, but should actually be labelled 'My Forged Invoices' ;)
I did Rustlings without any knowledge of Rust and I thought it worked great. There are links to guide & documentation pages for every exercise. It worked great to learn the basics through practice.
Wonder if there's anyone who (1) is reasonably comfortable in some popular programming language(s) and (2) has gone through these exercises could/would share their take on how helpful/useful these are?

Context: I've been doing Java professionally for 10+ years, Python, JS a few years ago, C++ way earlier in my career (early 2000s).
Problems with f/oss for business applications:

1. Great UX folks almost never work for free. So the UX of nearly all OSS is awful.

2. Great software comes from a close connection to users. When your software is an OS kernel that works just fine for programmers, but how many OSS folks want to spend their free time on zoom talking to hundreds of businesses and understanding their needs, so they can give them free software?

I do. When I first moved to Berlin I was thinking the same, but now I prefer it when modern concrete buildings are touched up with graffity no matter if commissioned or "illegal" - the important part is to give the eyes something to stumble over.

Historical buildings is a different matter of course.
When I code for my employer, who owns the code?
I might have confused your point, but if your goal is to build charts for data analysis, or exploratory data analysis, then D3 is considered low-level for the purpose of getting to the analysis fast.
Interesting question. If the Google Vs Oracle case had played out today, and Google was able to prove an AI had created an API that looked incredibly similar to Java, would that have stood up as a defence? If code isn't owned by the developer or company that wrote it, then presumably someone else can't sue them for copyright infringement.

If that's true then there'll be no effective way to ever sue a software developer over the code they wrote (or generated, or prompted, or whatever the term will be.)
That doesn't match with my experience: I learned the language from scratch just fine with Rustlings. (In fact, I found it more approachable than the Rust Book.) The first few groups of exercises in it walk you through the basic syntax and semantics, to the point that I found it almost tedious to work through, but I ultimately came to appreciate it.

> Nothing kills an edgy contemporary art platform faster than censorship

I don't know the solution but isn't 4chan an example of what happens with no censorship? That would also kill an edgy contemporary art platform as the "4 teh lulz" crowd drowns out the "for the art" crowd.

As another semi-related example. Imgur used to be interesting "images" but now 25-75% are posts of text (like a screenshot of a tweet for example, or of a blog post, etc...). That might be good for Imgur's bottom line, I don't know, but it's not the site it started as.

To be the site it started as would require somehow disallowing images of text but magically allow meme images (some text). That might end up starting an arms race as users skew their messages onto billboards, tvs, signs, and other things to try to make them not look like just an image.

Like I said above, I have no idea if they want the site to be mostly images instead of mostly text. Only that it's another site that changed character over time and I'm sure didn't start as a site expecting mostly images of text.

I don’t read anything about the large water footprint of growing (=consuming) avocado’s. Is this a theme in the US?

I live in The Netherlands, where avocado’s have grown in popularity too. We import them from Peru, I believe. A region that’s already facing water shortages.[1]

Sure, that's one way to do it, but if the invalid byte were logically tied to the byte before it in its original encoding, then now your substring split will mangle that character.

What word would you use in your native language to mean

1) historical document/artifact that was created later by a liar

2) A written signature on a document trying to impersonate someone who didn’t actually read and approve of said document

3) An ID card a teenager uses to gain entrance to a bar/club

4) a verbal statement that the speaker knows is false when said, for example “of course that dress does not make you look fat” (does this word change if the receiver also knows the statement is false? In English I would call this a “white lie”)

5) A body part that has been altered with surgery (silicone implants, saline injections)

Show HN: I made a Chrome extension that automates Tinder swiping with ML
Hey HN! I'm excited to share my new project: Wizard of Swipe for Tinder.

Problem
Swiping on Tinder felt like a chore. Hours of swiping with few meaningful connections.

Solution

I created Wizard of Swipe, a Chrome extension that transforms Tinder. Set your preferences—beauty, interests, and what you're looking for—and let the AI wizard handle the swiping. It uses machine learning to analyze profiles and swipe right on matches.
Spend less time swiping and more time making real connections. I'd love to hear your feedback!

You are aware of what a "hypothetical" is?

I can spell it out more abstractly:

1. Crypto bros are known for their "crypto is great because we can get rid of the role of the state within currency"-stance

2. Something bad happens to their crypto

3. They run to the authority of the state to resolve the issue
I grew up close to Kalkar and visited the theme park that is now located at the power plant a few times as a kid.

If you read the timeline, you can see that the protests started before the Chernobyl disaster. At that point, no government entity wanted the reactor to go online.

Some of my family members went to protest there when they were younger. Our physics teachers discussed the plant with us on several occasions as part of the mandatory curriculum. I can just say, Germany's relationship to nuclear is and was always characterized by strange concerns about environmental issues and a drive just to oppose something for vague political associations. It's hard to describe, but feels very similar to virtue signaling.
To be fair, he did say it was "pretty novel"...
Do you actually believe people think the warming is a good thing?

People want to drive their car, heat or aircon their house, go an vacation and use or consume all sorts of products that require energy to produce.

And even just scrolling facebook means a lot of energy is used in some data center.

This has side effects. Most cars will spew poisonous gas out the back, into the city where people live. Some of them die from those fumes, most don't. People still drive cars, because they think the benefits outweigh the costs.

Global warming is similar.
My hart jumped when I initially thought that they had implemented an idea that I had once.

There are two types of graffiti: actual art, and tags which are akin to the forum signatures of yore.

The actual art is often a bit strange but can be beautiful, and is more interesting than a bare concrete wall or train hull. But I agree with you that virtually all tags are ugly. And not only that, tags represent an extreme concept of ego, where you subsume the art, spending your entire canvas on your signature.
Property is a silly way to think about property too, fwiw.
My guess is it's related to "metamaterials", which are materials engineered to have interesting properties by including structures smaller than the wavelength of whatever is going through them (sound, microwaves, even visible light if the structures are fine enough). There is quite a lot of research into sound-absorbing yet porous acoustic metamaterials.

(Related, but maybe not technically a metamaterial, previously on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38678415 )
Also interesting: Kreisky totally didn’t resign after the vote ended against Zwentendorf…so the whole thing was for nothing in the end.

The operator of the plant assumed that the politicians would get to their senses at some point and kept it in operational shape for some years even though it wasn’t producing any power. Then they went bankrupt because pretend-running a nuclear plant is expensive.

What does any of this have to do with US weapon systems? They are way ahead of anyone else in this area of tech. They have invested a lot in these capabilities over many decades, and the public capabilities are state-of-the-art. Laser tech is an extremely difficult engineering discipline, you can’t enter it casually. The US has made large focused investments on mastering this tech in a way no one else has over many decades.

I was researching this topic some time ago too when I wanted to find ways to dedupe files on my Mac: ie, show me which files are actual duplicates, which are cheap clones, and convert any real duplicates to clones.

Thanks! Good idea, I could add FEN / PGN export in addition to lichess. I haven't tried conditioning the network on opening but given my training data, that should be possible. For now, you can simulate openings somewhat, by trying to fix pawns and pieces in their typical positions, but it would be better if I could do it like you suggested "QGA, 15–20 moves" etc. I might try this out!

Ugh, these modern "Turing Tests" are a complete bastardization and dumbed down version of what Turing described. Here is his original paper. [1] In short the actual task involves a skilled interrogator, somebody of a given and specific identity, and then somebody pretending to have that identity. Turing proposed a simple example where you'd have a woman, and then a man pretending to be a woman. The more precise the identity, the more challenging the test becomes. A man might kind of sort be able to pass for a woman in text, but he'd never be able to pass for a nuclear physicist who has a twin brother working in neuroscience, against a skilled interrogator. And all participants are expected to actively collude and collaborate as much as possible to emphasize who is the "real" person. So for instance the woman might propose to help the interrogator by proposing questions he could use to help spot the fake, and/or to emphasize her own authenticity.

Modern takes generalize the identity to absurdity (with the identity being human or not), generally feature idiots (or people acting like such) for interrogators, and participants who are actively trying to act like a computer to trick the interrogator. Like in this article, the human is B and was asked, "What could you say to convince me that you're a human?" His response was "You just have to believe!" Why not just skip the pretext and just have the human start responding 01001001 01000010 01101111 01110100 01001100 01101111 01101100 to every question? And if all this nonsense wasn't enough, they bumped it up to 3 comps and 1 human pretending to be a comp. This isn't the Turing Test - it's complete LARPing!

the carbon footprint of destroying and rebuilding is too high; isn't the green thing this to renovate and enhance existing infrastructure not bulldozing existing things?
we use words like reason and understand and think, and try to apply them to LLMs, when it's just dot products and matrix multiplications at the heart of it, which is where we go wrong. these things are a new alien kind of intelligence, and we're struggling with it because it's completely foreign. it's more than a random coincidence. your logic was that, in your run of the same query, because it made a mistake on the last letter, which is a mistake an inattentive teenager or drunk adult could easily make, we can't consider it intelligent.

we're not talking about any system here, we're talking about LLMs and their ability to generate random coincidental text that does happen to align with the input given. when the output, coincidental and random as it may well be, is aligned with the input in a way that resembles intelligence, we do have to ponder not just what intelligence actually is, but also what it means to be intelligent. octopuses are intelligent but they're not able to solve your particular puzzle.

One observation I have with Rust, looking at the code in wild, abstractions are usually (always?) leaky - implementation details are exposed/imposed due to the ownership feature of the language.
> While the tech described probably has merits, anyone who has been near DB lately would instinctively go: why are you doing this when you cannot get the basics right?

DB is facing the problem that the network needs substantial overhaul - the problem is that when you do a large-scale renovation, you gotta adhere to current code, not late 19th century code (which is when quite a few of the railways had been built). And that means noise protection anywhere where the tracks are adjacent to residential areas, but NIMBYs will launch intensive protests if they get presented with a massive wall of steel in their backyard - understandably so, these things are an eyesore.

So, it's a prerequisite for DB to tackle its problems... because most of them are caused by the aged infrastructure. Right next to Munich, on the route to Mühldorf, there are still mechanical switches in place, built around 1900 [1].

Oh nice ! I bought this book and forget to finish it for life reasons but it was really enjoyable.

Book’s name doesn’t lie , it’s literally the author taking you by the hand along the path of building a real application with real problems on a real production environment explaining everything from the basics of the language to how to keep it online.

The book is pretty opinionated (because well, since it guides you until production giving you basically all the code, choices are needed) but the author always takes the time to explain its choices and what the alternatives are.

I’m feeling like I want to come back to this book.
