30 years ago I felt like my mid-grade "liberal arts" US university was definitely wasting my time.

Actually had to skip some Comp Sci (my major) and math electives because some required liberal arts thing was in the same time slot. I could have used more training on both of those, as I've dealt with a lot of unemployment because I'm naturally fairly weak in both.
Did not need liberal arts, had plenty of that in high school.

But compared to today, I didn't pay a lot nor did my parents, it just wasn't that expensive back then. College today seems to be a much worse deal, more filler content and way more expensive, as well as worse employment prospects overall when you do graduate, especially now that AI may be poised to smash a good fraction of those jobs.
Curious whether surfacing it was precipitated by this exchange in House-DoE hearing yesterday? (timestamped): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xwx5pLoDXIg&t=4032s

I know this post is focused on collision resolution, but I was still a little disappointed to see collision detection handwaved away. In my experience that's where the real headscratchers are.
What’s the chance of a color version of this product coming out anytime soon?
Stack Overflow is a community with an answer-rating system and there is often some level of review from other people commenting on the answer's advantages and shortcomings. You often have multiple answers to choose from too. Those features build trust in an answer or prompt you to look elsewhere.

The UI for an LLM answer would have difficulty replicating the same thing since every answer is (probably) a new one and you have no input from other people about this answer too.

Edit: After writing my reply, I saw that roughly four other people (so far) made the exact same point and posted it a couple of minutes before. I think your question is a good one (made me think a little) and apologies it feels like you're being piled on.
Agreed; but isn’t this on the same continuum as programming assembly -> IDE autocomplete -> LLM autocomplete?
You’re still writing code, but generally adding abstractions has been net good (unsure of this opinion tbf, but that’s my hunch)
I have found that anger is my problem; regardless of whether or not it’s justified.

Anger isn’t actually an “emotion.” It’s a reaction. It causes our body to generate a bunch of endocrine changes to “supercharge,” and also causes our thinking to simplify into a fairly binary “fight or flight” mode.

We don’t usually make good decisions, when we’re angry; which is exactly why demagogues have striven to make people angry, for time immemorial.

So if I’m angry, I do my best to put it aside (easier said, than done, most times), and avoid making important decisions, while I’m fuming.
This is how we've all adapted to use these tools, but it's not what was originally pitched.
Indeed, though I was hoping to avoid posting an explicit spoiler - I'd have rot13'd it or something.
In proper physics simulations, everything's about forces, most things are springs, and you never teleport stuff. In games, modelling the ground as a spring really doesn't work and teleporting entities when they collide with parts of the world often makes a lot of sense. It's just not the same.

EDIT: If I'm incorrect, please explain how. I've written some game physics systems and seen some proper physics sim systems and these comments reflect my understanding of the situation, and if I've said something wrong, please correct me instead of just downvoting.
That's an interesting point. I don't think either the book or the blog post say there's literally zero value in the system.

But if the main value is taking care of the kids during the day, we can change the system A LOT. And probably get more value for a lot less money. Say, by hiring local grandparents to take care of 2-5 kids each for a while
> This is great if you are an experienced developer who can tell the difference between "in the ballpark" and fixable and "in the ballpark" but hopeless.

While true, Stack Overflow wasn't much different. New devs would go there, grab a chunk of code and move on with their day. The canonical example being the PHP SQL injection advise shared there for more than a decade.
I've been saying from the start that this is not a tool for beginners and learners. My students use it constantly and I keep telling them when they go to chat GPT for answers, it's like they are going to a senior for help -- they know a lot but they are often wrong in subtle and important ways.

That's why classes are taught by professors and not undergrads. Professors are at least supposed to know what they don't know.

When students think of ChatGPT as their drunk frat bro they see doing keg stands at the Friday basement party rather than as an expert they use it differently.
Megalopolis Is Even Wilder Than You Might've Heard
This workflow is very close to being possible. I gave it a try last year by adding exceptions and test output to clipboard automatically (requires custom code for your stack). The context has increased considerably since my last attempt and agents are now a thing (ReAct loop, etc).

This should be feasible this holiday season.
A lot of people have moved on from material design

shadcn is not a library, just code added to your repo that you fully control, customization is just modifying code instead of some injected property. Radix is the underlying library shadcn builds on
Not botanical, but I use KOReader on a Kobo Clara HD (the same screen as the Paperwhite, if I recall correctly), and am happy with it except for the arrangement; covers don't show, and sort-by-title didn't work last time I tried. It's currently by author, which would make sense if I knew enough author names along with their books.
I'm sure there's a way to get these things working, I just haven't put the time in yet.
> I'm not sure where this idea to 'get your emotions out when they come', I'm not sure its scientific.

IME it's from people who have no idea how to do it any other way, unfortunately. They never experienced being capable of suppressing emotions and lack the imagination that it can be learned. (Or maybe it can't, but some of them end up getting medication and realize what they were missing.)
I suspect it’s just a matter of it being easier to tell people to bin it than going through the hurdles of opening it (legal, drm, engineering, getting a budget, publishing instructions…) Plus doing anything at all beyond pulling the plug sounds like it will cost some amount of money (no matter how little) so someone somewhere will have to convince bean counters to allocate a budget for and capacity it.
iirc, I saw some other study (or an experiment some random guy had ran) where original GPT4 had vastly outperformed its later incarnations for code generation.

current openai products either use much lower parameter models under the hood than they did originally, or maybe it's a side-effect of context stretching.
You mean the ex who was in a bitter custody battle at the time of the death, whose own sister testified against her? The same one whose parents called him to pick up the child the night before she died?

Doesn’t sound like a family that thought he was a child-beating monster.

She had no neck trauma when she died. CT scans showed a single blunt impact to the back right of her head, consistent with a fall and strange for a beating.

More than all of that, the medical evidence doesn’t even look like she died from the blunt force trauma.

She showed up to the ER blue lips, a telltale sign of hypoxia. She had severe undiagnosed viral pneumonia, despite having been to the doctor because we didn’t look at the strain until COVID. Pneumonia impacts breathing function. On top of that, she was prescribed phenergan, an opioid that now carries a warning not to prescribe it to children _because it can make them stop breathing_. On top of that, the day before she died she was prescribed codeine, which now also carries a warning label not to prescribe it to respiratory-depressed children _because it can make them stop breathing_.

Lab results show what we now know to be a fatal dose of Phenergan.

She died, sadly, as a result of multiple respiratory depressing factors due to a societal failure to ensure medications were safe for children in her situation. The blunt trauma isn’t even relevant; the phenergan and pneumonia would have killed her anyways.

This is just the usual villification of an easy target: he’s poor and autistic, he was never going to look good to a jury. They probably could have gotten a conviction for murdering Amelia Earhart if they’d tried.
It's a chicken and egg problem. There isn't much firmware being developed for these devices because there is no easy path for users to install them.

If installing alternative/third-party firmware becomes easy and normalized, there will also be more options to choose from, because it will actually become worthwhile for people/companies to develop said firmware.
Show HN: Minbpe-hs – byte-level byte pair encoding (BPE) in Haskell
minbpe-hs is a port of Andrej Karpathy's concise byte-level byte pair encoding (BPE) implementation, minbpe, to Haskell. During training, BPE compresses a sequence by repeatedly finding the most frequent pair of elements in the input and merging them into a new token whilst maintaining a record of the merges and the tokens. Encoding is performed by recursively merging pairs with the smallest merge index until there remain no pairs to be merged, and encoded representations can be decoded backed into the original through vocabulary look-ups. Given its recursive nature, BPE lends itself naturally to functional programming, and the objective of this repository is to offer an alternative functional formulation of it that is orthogonal to typical implementations in imperative languages such as Python or Rust to aid learners in gaining a firmer grasp on BPE by viewing it through a different lens.

Similar to minbpe, BPE.Basic and BPE.Regex both supply the same fundamental functionalities of training, encoding, and decoding, but the former treats a text corpus as one continuous sequence whereas the latter, in addition to supporting special tokens, divides it into smaller segments using a regex pattern and considers merges only within these segments. BPE.Base contains core operations employed by the two tokenizers and also provides storing & loading utilities. There is no counterpart to minbpe's GPT4Tokenizer as tiktoken does not expose a Haskell frontend.

This is not uncommon for sites using Cloudflare (bot protection), especially if you have adblockers or script blockers of some kind turned on that prevent browser fingerprinting.
And it was an excellent decision, see rationale: https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2000/06/03/strategy-letter-ii...

TBH, they should have dumped during switch to OOXML, that was a wasted opportunity. On the other hand, that's hard sell to business.
Beginners tend to write awful code without GPT's help, so I don't think it makes things worse.

Answers don't exist in a vacuum. The chat interface allows feedback and corrections. Users can paste an error they're getting, or even say "it doesn't work", and GPT may correct itself or suggest an alternative.
Do u have a source for this?
That’s a “bet” on something that everyone is sure about, so not much of a bet!
This has been fixed with the newer modules system. You do have to name the folders the same as your packages but you can put the folders anywhere you want now.
> If you’re learning to program pretty much the best approach is to write and debug programs.

I'd argue the best way to learn is to read a lot of production-quality code to get a sense of structure and best practices in any given language.
That is a long way of saying "economy of scale".
I think this varies wildly from company to company, especially your experience in the first two paragraphs. I've worked at companies where what you're saying rings true (especially about "not building consensus"), and at companies where taking initiative is a hard requirement - written down in company documents - for any sort of advancement into the Senior Software Engineer & beyond levels.
Elon also said that self driving cars were just “a year” away.
10 years ago I was an Anarchist and would think this is overreach.

Today, I realize we are animals driven by biology that don't get to control our environment.

We do need laws in-place to prevent Strong Powers(big companies with psychology/marketing departments) from exploiting Weak Powers(individuals).

There is some group of people that accept the status quo, think that humans have perfect freewill and can resist the social pressure of Blue Bubbles or temptations of clickbait. I think these people need to be ignored. They are idealists, which isnt particularly helpful.
I have used it at two different orgs (a university and a company) and it had the same issue on both. Perhaps your org has the settings figured out!

I supported Aloha about 20 years ago, which back then was probably the most popular/common POS system used at every bar/restaurant/store. If you saw a bubble moving around as a screensaver on a POS it was probably Aloha.

They had the cashier systems which were all Windows (NT, 95, XP, 2000) then a back of house "server" which was the same. The front end systems were in kiosk mode so unless you knew how to minimize/exit Aloha you couldn't access it and trash the system.

But the BOH systems.. Man oh man. The amount of trash, spyware, viruses, etc that the Managers would wind up getting on those systems was wild. Sometimes I'd remote in and there'd be porn. Just complete computer luddites doing whatever they want in the managers office on these things. It always frustrated me that these weren't Linux/bsd systems .. but we wouldn't make money fixing them if they were I suppose. IIRC Hardees was ancient Windows NT and it used IPX networking. I hadn't used IPX networking since I was maybe 8 years old trying to play Warcraft on a LAN, this was around 2003.

I don't remember any places having networked connections to a corps other stores so we'd just wipe those systems, charge them a fortune, pay me a penance and move on and probably have to come back 6 months later to do the same thing. There MAY have been a few corps that had VPNs to "hq" to send reports to but I barely remember and if there was it wasn't many.

Anyway, no idea what system Wyndham is using but this article comes off as some super secret conspiracy to get this app installed. I guess there's the potential for that but.. It could also have been some tech ignorant BOH staff diddle daddling while "doing numbers." I really doubt it's that deep.

Maybe it was specifically targeted at Wyndham, I don't think Hooters Corporate or Outback Systems International (back then) were ever targeted vs just someone doing stupid things. Those were my biggest clients by far.

We did not have "Security" people. We were pretty much a call center of people who somewhat knew sysadmin work (nowhere near a real sysadmin) so things were definitely not locked down as they would be in a production server environment. Hell, I was 18 and it was my first "tech" job.

This was back when credit cards didn't have chips, if you scanned a credit card in an EDC swiper all it did was literally dump the CC number, date, CVV as a keyboard output. If you opened notepad.exe and swiped a card it filled in the card details in notepad. The POS just filled it in in its CC form. You could easily grab card numbers if you knew what to do. I don't think any of this was encrypted and the purchases were all stored in a batch txt file until the managers pushed their batches through at night to actually charge the cards. I had some clubs in Miami that would have $100k+ in batches to run every night. One of the most common problems I Had to fix was a log of CC entries with corrupt text causing the EDC push to fail. So we'd open the log and delete that purchase.

I have no idea how people are skimming cards nowadays with chips.
I'd guess that React code is a lot easier for a LLM, since it's a frequent occurrence in its training dataset and frontend code tends to be repetitive and full of boilerplate.

I believe that AI will be a perfect programmer in the future for all niche areas. My point is that frontend will probably be the first niche to be mastered.
What does this look like to you?
Im a huge fan of this mindset! A man’s search for meaning by viktor frankl is a brutal but good read partially about that mindset.

Somehow any problem in life could be reduced to nearly
no stress/anxiety/anger/etc when I realized I could just.. choose to not have those responses. The drawback is you see others responding with extreme emotion and it can be difficult to accept their feelings as valid.
I had a similar experience. It's a strange and surreal form of gaslighting when family members make you angry and then subsequently make you to feel ashamed for becoming angry.

Anger, just like any other human emotion is neither good nor bad. Prescribing a human emotion as good and another human emotion as bad takes a certain degree of self righteousness. After some growing up, I've since learned to try and let my emotions guide me rather than run away from them and that's made all of the difference.
I've seen that page - it has 16 videos and it's unclear which are sped up, by how much, and which aren't. Some look sped up to my eye, and even if they aren't, I simply can't trust they aren't because they've shown they won't inform me so.

This is a super bad look for a new product offering whose entire killer feature and market differentiation is based on its supposed blazing speed.

Posting ANY video that's sped up, without clearly labelling by exactly how much, and when (eg, with a "3x speed" text overlay as is almost standard on internet video), is a huge mistake introducing a product differentiating on speed.
This is an odd question. The solution would be the opposite of a one man show. There are managed services providers and there are sysadmins you can hire for a specified number of maintenance/support hours.
Similar to cars, most depreciation happens in the first year.

So owning a device for 6 years between age 1 and 7 will generally have a lower cost than owning a device between age 0 and 6.

For Apple products it’s generally feasible to effectively buy first hand devices aged 1+ because they’re still available for sale (at least in some retailers) after a new edition is released.
Presumably their ethical approvement was about considerably more than just potential physical danger of putting on the device for 10 minutes?

Of course ethics does need to make sure that the testing isn't going to harm the participants directly, which is nice and simple in your example, but it also needs to make sure that any measurements will be stored (and anonymised) in ways that conform to your friend's country's healthcare data laws. It needs to make sure there are adequate data protection plans. It needs to ask questions like have they considered ways in which they might accidentally create a device with racial bias (the way pulse oximetres are often worse at reading the blood oxygen level of people with dark skin as they were made by and tested on the fingers of white people). Etc.
In this regard,maybe JetBrains should dust off Omea [1] and add an appropriate LLM to it.

Depends on what volume types you are using. For random access - with io2 you can get 256K IOPS per volume, and if you do RAID0, on the largest instance you can get 400K IOPS.
Directly-attached vs over-the-network storage can be fairly different, but going back to a spinning drive is not a fair statement.
Meh. I don't mind:

let thing = thing.unwrap();

50?? Try 1600+ (from https://engineering.atspotify.com/opensource/)
I think that’s what it’s doing. If you have a conversation with a person spanning hundreds of messages (over many weeks) it’ll be updating the status light next to their name on every single message in the history. The more messages in the history, the more workers you get!
>I think the lack of child labor is a great example of the market working pretty well[...]

This is a rather unique perspective, I think. Maybe I'm missing something, but isn't the decline of child labor mostly due to laws? I'd say the constant stream of child labor scandals implies that the market is a force opposing the protection of children more often than not.
China had mostly extremely poor people still in 1972. And they killed millions of their own people in the late 1950s and 1960s in the Great Leap Forward (15–55 million dead, says Wikipedia) and the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution ("Estimates vary from hundreds of thousands to millions," says Wikipedia).

I don't wish to continue to converse with someone as resistant to information as you are.

Or USB drives period. My former employer didn't allow cell phones or really any device that could connect things from the outside. We had the Internet, but it all had to go through their own managed pipes.

Totally fine to bring in a monitor though. Not sure if that would still be true today, given the connectivity of things. I bet you could still bring in a monitor, but you'd risk needing to prove that there was no way it could do anything other than be a monitor.
Interesting, up north the ISO 13485 certification etc. is required to even deploy an App, as your phone would be considered a medical device under the rules if used for diagnostics and or reporting.

Don't get me wrong, I am sure people have no issue paying the $84k each release cycle to be cleared as compliant. Notably, our health authority legally can't buy software without these certifications, and for the past 6 years only Microsoft offers a framework through their partner for the e-records exchange systems.

There is zero "open" anything in this ecosystem, as commercial insurance won't cover mystery commits.

Best of luck, =)
I agree with your mindset, but this is interesting to me:

>Anger isn’t actually an “emotion.” It’s a reaction.

Are there emotions which are not reactions?
What do you mean, what knowing the day of week a date is useful for ?
Yes, you sound judgmental when you dismiss all HN book recommendations, but let's just add "for me" at the end of your last sentence, yeah?

Not every book recommended on HN is for me, but the number of hits versus misses keeps me coming back to this well.
async is still difficult. There is no getting around data synchronization issues. either you need to spend a lot of time in design or will get constant problems with things like not having a mutex when you should, mutex deadlock, holding a mutex too long, locking/unlocking too often.

I haven't done async JS, but I've done enough async elsewhere to know that language cannot work around bad design.
wow your projects lools cool!
Didn’t even sonos end up walking that decision back and let people keep the devices and get the rebate rather than bricking the traded in speakers? But only after public outcry.
This product was always doomed. Android Auto and CarPlay entirely negate the need for this.
