Imagine if the standards of living goes up even more, we have x50 better medicine, huge houses for everybody, fine silken clothes, wall-sized TVs, and gourmet truffle soup every day of the week. But everybody is still working long hours, and only get to see their kids in the morning and a few hours before bedtime.

But no worries, even more improvements are on the horizon. Within 20 years, you'll get all that, but it's gold plated, and encrusted with diamonds too. People live until they are 200, houses rotate to always face the sun, and TVs are now so big they wrap 360 degrees around the entire room's walls. But you still gotta spend most of your waking hours in an office, copying numbers from one excel to another.

Is that really that good of an improvement? Do we measure quality of living purely in material wealth, and not in the time we get to spend with loved ones, or our passions?

In the distant past, a huge proportion of our lives was spent just making sure you had food to survive on. The part where we "spend a huge portion of our lives" seems to stick, even though food is no longer scarce.
The USA believes so hard in the freedom of association that we are willing to let people leave whenever they want. You don’t need permission, just find somewhere better and go there. Compare that with the Soviet Union, or East Germany, or China, or North Korea. In those countries leaving may technically be allowed, but may require a lifetime of asking for permission. The Soviet Union didn’t even provide its own people with maps lest they find out where the borders were.
I use my MacBooks all day every day. Never had this happen. I wonder what unique workflow conditions he has that causes this.
This is the government, not an HOA, though in many places those things are difficult to distinguish.
Show HN: Ask questions to your Google Sheets
Hello there HN, I'm Taras!

I've been posting a bit lately regarding SheetSQL, and I'm happy to announce that we released SheetSQL AI (sorry for the name but I could not come up with a better one...).

With this AI you can ask questions to your sheets which will be materialized as an SQL query that will be executed for you in seconds.

You can also adapt previous queries, or ask for an explanation of a saved query.
I made an application like this waaaaay back in grad school. The hardest part is that it looks believable but getting accurate data is just so difficult.

And behold, it’s missing the entire forest my street is in.
Are Americans allowed to take guns to school? I would have thought most schools would ban guns?

On the other hand we did have guns in my school in the UK (only for use on the rifle range).

That said, I think it is very weird that Americans accept this level of regulation on what they do on their own property.
I don’t know about RVs but American boats are famous for spontaneously attacking pedestrians with their flying jibs.

Side note: supercritical CO2 turbines could supplant steam turbines. They could be much more compact. Steam turbines are expensive! I don't know why supercritical CO2 is not more popular so far, the technology has been talked about for 20 years or so and products have existed for over a decade.

Here’s something that’s not true: in js, the first link you click navigates you. In the browser, clicking a second link cancels the first one and navigates to the second one.

GitHub annoys the fuck out of me with this.
> regulating the use of property, particularly common property

I don’t think anyone would argue with their regulation of common property; it’s their petty interference in private property that’s the rub.
as a direct care doc, it can help with things 'outside' of primary care. Online doctor to doctor specialists consults, meds, labs, imaging, pathology, dme. Skin cancers can be biopsied and managed for no additional cost (procedure free, cost of pathology $70, meds) by family docs. Or we've helped get wholesale chemotherapy medications to make care affordable in coordination with specialists.
"brake so i can merge behind them"

This is how you're supposed to merge. When you get on the freeway you don't expect the current flow of traffic to accommodate for you, instead you accommodate for them.

"it really feels to me like your comments are meant to needle my complaint re: folks not understanding the zipper merge, am i misreading you? do you think the zipper merge should not be used?"

I am not sure you're understanding how it's supposed to work... People in the flowing lane aren't meant to stop or slow down to let you over.

The zipper action is meant when it's backed up. The zipper lane isn't designed for you to disrupt the current flow of traffic.

Edit: here's a video, maybe it will help you understand better

My thoughts exactly. This guy claims to be a software business owner, but seems to be one dropped cup of coffee away from not being in business anymore.
I'm wondering if his customers read that blog too and what they would think...
I think being forced to join an HOA when purchasing a property will be challenged one day. At least when it comes to SFR where most hoa's aren't actually doing anything with your specific property.
> I… don’t care?

We're shaming most of the population for way less. Somehow when it comes to corporations, it's all good when they maximise shareholder pro... wait, when they advance technology for all mankind.
From my experience, interviewers with zero experience start with shadowing (so the interview is driven by someone with experience and you just are there listening and learning the process)
HOAs are often tied to a piece of land, with it being mandatory to join if you buy the land.

You are free to not buy the land of course.
as a direct care doc, there's #DirectCare clinics in every state and 20-30 new clinics opening monthly.
Try using the internet on an "exchange only line". Technically it's broadband but its speeds are still dialup tier. I know several streets in my city that still have these connections.

That's actually quite a sad gif. Not only they spent a lot of money pressure washing and repainting, but actually painting over bricks seals their surface, doesn't let them "breathe" and it's overall worse for the wall in the long run. They ruined a perfectly good public property for comedic effect.
I find these discussions funny.

For decades we had search engines based on the query terms (keywords). Then there were lots of discussions and some implementations to put a semantic search on top of it to improve the keyword search. A hybrid search. Google Search did exactly that already in 2015 [1].

Now we start from pure semantic search and put keyword search on top of it to improve the semantic search and call it hybrid search.

In both approaches, the overall search performance is exactly identical - to the last digit.

I am glad, that so far, no one has called this an innovation. But you could certainly write a lot of blog articles about it.

Neither this article nor the linked one on this issue suggests that Gerrit De Vynck personally believes that the issue with generating black slavers or Asian Nazis is an "anti-White" bias. What De Vynck is actually claiming here is that Google blocked the ability to generate images of people on Gemini after some users accused it of anti-White bias, so it is a claim about the nature of the specific complaints which prompted Google's reversal of policy. I don't know if this is correct, but if it were not, that would be a different issue than the one you are claiming exists here.
Thanks for coming to help. No, we can't say why we called – it's classified
Of course there is; just don't buy a house that is part of an HOA. Most houses in the US are not part of any HOA. Apartments are also not part of HOAs (but of course anyone living there has to follow the rules put down by the owners, and it’s not like the residents get to vote on those). Condos are always part of a condo association, but those are a fraction of the housing in the US.

Also, if your neighbor asks you to vote to create an HOA, vote against it.
Apple has a contract with their developers that probably prohibits just rolling back to an old version. As long as the app works, does not violate the AppStore terms and is intended as per the developer, who is Apple to say what they do with it?

I'm not saying that this is should not be handled, but .. I don't see many good outcomes here.
It’s because you don’t give a flying fuck why HOAs exist. It separates those who are of different likeminds. There is a neighborhood in Austin called Apache Shores for people like you but who do give a flying fuck to know their neighbors. It’s best described as a series of junkyards next to zero scapes next to 70s A-frames next to medieval manor homes. It’s awesome for people who don’t care if their neighbors house looks like a donut shop.

I don’t give a flying fuck that you don’t give a flying fuck about your neighbhors. I want neighbors that care about me and ask if they can have a stick of butter or borrow my table saw or carpool my kids to school. My neighborhood is a true community. We help each other. We organize with each other. We raise kids with each other. All from our huge McMansions with perfect lawns adorned with labradoodles who don’t bark at strangers. It makes my life better and I have never once gotten worked up about some bullshit notion that the HOA is treading on me. It’s possible to like conformity while eating suburban Chipotle while reading Kant. You can be a free thinker while also agreeing to not park your car on your lawn. If you want a pink mailbox and want to use your chainsaw in your birthday suit at 6am go right ahead, in any thousands of neighborhoods or hermitages that allow it in the land where the ratio of eagles to hamburgers is nearly equal. I’ll be in my garage with my neighbor smoking weed with our shirts off, making sawdust, listening to Steely Dan. Oh the tyranny
Then why is he sharing so many videos teaching/demonstration/commenting about how to fix Mac’s so you can do it yourself…?
Having written a fair amount of SPA and similar I can confirm that it is actually possible to just write some JavaScript that does fairly complicated jobs without the whole thing ballooning into the MB space. I should say that I could write a fairly feature-rich chat-app in say 500 kB of JS, then minified and compressed it would be more like 50 kB on the wire.

How my "colleagues" manage to get to 20 MB is a bit of mystery.
Krita is a great replacement for photoshop.
No I don't, I purposely bought a property with no code inspections and no covenants and there's been no code or fire check or noise ordinance for 20+ years. None of the scare stories you hear on here came true, but what did come true is you can actual afford a home because you're not the subject of constant harassment and corruption of code enforcers when building.
>network segmentation

This gives me flashbacks. I worked in hospital IT for a few years, and the main IT office was constantly trying to fold the (unpatchable, running a mix of OS2, win95, win98, MSdos, and proprietary OSs in -2007) medical devices into the main, internet accessible network.

I had to spend countless hours in meetings to keep them segregated. At times, I actually had to just pull fiber jumpers out of the switch. They’d eventually have a fit because they couldn’t see the medical devices with their threat scanning software.

They could have just hooked up a laptop to the medical device network and said “yep, every single ip address on there is vulnerable” and sent a strongly worded letter to each manufacturer demanding a patch, which will never be released. Since the devices are FDA certified medical devices, you can’t just patch them without manufacturer endorsement of the software change…so any device more than a few years old is usually vulnerable.

3 months after I left they had a major ransomware event. Weird. Who could have imagined?
> This is, to give an analogy, in the same space as OJ Simpson being found guilty of wrongful death and innocent of murder, for committing the same actions, and the fact that he could be tried for both not being a case of double jeopardy.

OJ wasn't "found guilty of wrongful death". He was found liable, because that was a civil case, not a criminal one. That difference is also why double jeopardy didn't apply.

I can't really discuss due process with someone who doesn't know the difference between civil and criminal law.
Why no AppleCare? This would have been replaced free. This was a poor hedge. (Edit: missed the applecare bit)

As for the battery being sold with the top case, I have less of a problem than many with this as it's difficult to ship the batteries safely or remove or replace them in these machines. That's a design flaw which I hope they will sort out at some point but at the moment it is what it is. What is objectionable is that the rebate for the part that is returned is really really poor if you use the self-service repair store. £510 spend for an £85 return. If that's just the battery that's gone it's a rip off.

My risk is that if I have a problem with mine, I will just buy another one though. It paid for itself in under 3 days when I bought it.
That is exactly what I did in the section I'm referring to. I asked both suggestive and non-suggestive questions. It needed the suggestion to get the right answer. Just asking it to elaborate didn't change it's answer.
There’s plenty of places share there’s no restrictions like this. But people that live in communities have the right to regulate how community members use their property. It’s for the greater good.
BTW I'm not posting here to get a support response, they're already looking into it. But since this service has been mentioned multiple times on HN as an alternative to things like gmail/outlook, it may be used by a bunch of you. Since you generally don't know if you're silently losing emails, I just wanted to post here. Looks like the last email I received was 2 hours 40 minutes ago.

Did you even read the article? He has AppleCare+. His problem is that it has to be mailed in.

Also we have been shipping laptop batteries forever... so it is possible.

I am curious how a 1500$ macbook paid itself in 3 days?
The website is called artnet. They wrote an article on art.
It is easy to come in after the fact and say this.

In reality: Had he DRYed it up from the beginning, you would probably have complained about a codebase that needs to corner cases into account deep in the code - the story had been turned around.

Yes, it is annoying to get into an existing code base.
There once was an amazing culture (and a sense of community) around the curation of tools. Just as I was browsing cybersectools, I remembered exetools(.com), which amazingly still seems to exist. There are even some aesthetic similarities to this submission, I think.

I also vaguely remember a very large registry that specialized in packers for executables, but I can't remember the name. Those were great for reducing the size of executable files, among other things. I don't think that's even a thing anymore. Still good times.
If there’s not an appropriate gap then you are also at fault. You should always have an appropriate gap between you and the car in front of you.
I just mount a case sensitive Apple File System disk image at ~/code, works well
Nope not a genocide...by any reasonable definition it was not.
Not necessarily. Much of Alaska has no property tax, plus you get a paycheck on oil dividends.
>I Have been researching a lot recently and I am struggling to find clear guidelines on how to approach screen time with children.

dont fix what's not broken. If they have lots of screentime but are watching educational stuff like alphablock/numberblocks. why would you do anything about it?

>But the screen time advice seems to conflict this approach somewhat. I often see sources advocating for a hard limit of screen time, which seems counterproductive in the context of how we approach teaching our children on managing gratification and self control.

There's lots of bad advice on the internet. Much of which is malicious. Dont trust everything you read on the internet.

>I am keen to believe that providing viable alternatives and setting an example by our own non-screen quality family time should steer the child in the right direction.

You want to be playing catch/kick/ball with your kid. Go for that bikeride with them. Take them fishing. Do some painting with them. But if it's -30c outside and a foot of snow, they are watching educational tv. My butt is not doing snow stuff lol.
This is hilarious, interesting and important. An important read for uses of LLMs
The sun view with angles clearly displayed is very informative on this one.

I've worked extensively with both GCP and AWS. I've met many Google engineers, TAMs, etc. and I wholeheartedly agree with your sentiment.

That said, I prefer GCP as a product to AWS (and don't even get me started on Azure).
> Do you mean the "constructs-to-c"?

Yes

> But does this actually give a speed-up?

There is an objective benefit to using `constructs-to-c` and that is something you mention in your original comment: you generate a single binary file containing all of your business logic, thus avoiding running a "fully interpreted" app in production.

In order to determine if it gives a performance boost to your particular rules engine, you should test it out and benchmark it with something you'd consider a "real world" example.
> google wouldn't control anything.

The web is more than tracking and ads. Chromium is not an ad engine.
Ok I completely missed that despite reading it. Clearly not enough coffee. As for mail in, you only have to mail in custom configs usually. If you get an off the shelf one they do it in store. I've done a couple before. One took an hour.

Batteries - well they need to be stuck to something so they don't bend. Apple's design flaw is sticking it to the top case which is the problem.

Well it was a $2500 MBP and it paid itself off because I made more cash than that in 3 days with it (unfucking an iOS app for someone).
>and one song is the washing machine chime.

Margin is a single sale. That's 1%

Look, I'm just making the point that comparing margins on a sale is a crappy way to compare business. It ignores the value you get for each investment dollar. Correct that by annualizing return per dollar. Then you see the relative value of business models e.g. McD's vs grocer store vs shoe store.
Strong agree. There are special cases for pseudonyms, most people should stand by their words.

I think you did well to isolate yourself. But many people are willing to come to agreement on what type of community they want to live in and explicitly regulate antisocial behavior.

It’s great this country is large enough to accommodate all types.
> That would shutdown the entire company.

Yeah... and? OpenAI is pretty much a for-profit company now. Why shouldn't a non-profit board pull the plug on a non-profit turned for-profit? Isn't that a part of their job?
Because it suggests a possible explanation why non-skilled consumers were not the immediate concern of this legislation.
I think both of us know that is not how capital F Freedom is used in any public discourse by Americans or otherwise. That is what makes this funnier. The contrast in how freedom is talked about and how it's implemented.
> While the paradigm of "you build it, you run it" worked for systems of lower complexity and size, modern software systems are larger and more complex today than before, and the role of platform engineering has become increasingly vital in today's world.

YBIYRI and platform engineering are not at odds with each other. In fact, platform engineering should be an enabler of YBIYRI.
Or maybe it's just a relatively bad battery. It's not broken, it's just not keeping enough charge to pass Apple's threshold for replacement within warranty.
It is bizarre but more uncommon than you think for very high paid and wealthy software guys to for whatever reason be very stingy with their personal hardware. Living in a $3M condo but running a 5 year old PC for their daily driver, etc.

I always have an extra machine around the house in the event either my machine or my wife's machine fails. I've setup an account for her on my machine as backup for her to work with my machine if hers fails, etc.

After years of being remote/hybrid, we now have spare keyboards and mice around as well for when one inevitably breaks as well.
I didn't notice the cloud.google.com source and thought this might be about developing software platforms that do something. That kind of Platform engineer has been around a long time now. Turns out this is about a software platform that does something for doing something, like the administration of software development or the machinery for devops. Good for any internal tool developers if it's not already obvious to them.
Exactly! But people interpret it as being true.

This is a city ordinance, nothing to do with an HOA.
That is because HAOs are far more pernickety.

The government in the UK (I know less about Ireland, but I think it is similar) might stop you building something but they do not do things like tell you what to grow in your garden and to what height the lawn should be mown, how you park etc.
HOAs are often awful. Obligatory John Oliver video on the topic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrizmAo17Os
I got rid of dealing with them when my first one broke. As did my wife's shortly after.
Just like how James Kirk from ST:TOS has been turned in general perception into this weird womanizer who slept with every green skinned alien babe [1], so is all the "supplementary" cultural material erasing important bits like that, especially when such bits are less "in your face" than (keeping to Disney) Merida from Brave.
