You did not use arrays, so there were no bounds to be checked.

The C language indeed allows the use of pointers having arbitrary values that cannot be checked in any way.

However it is trivial to avoid the use of such pointers and any decent programmer will never use such pointers, because they are never needed.

Unfortunately, it is difficult to forbid the use of such pointers, because there are too many legacy programs.

That however cannot be an excuse for any programmer who is writing a new program. If someone uses pointers in such a way, that cannot happen through an unwilling mistake, so it is their fault and they have no right to blame the programming language.
That only works if you actually own a desktop though. It's too bad they don't have some ultra tiny SD card sized accelerator addon system or something for laptops
They do work, we had a director who did all that in a previous company (probably unintentionally), and things ground to a halt and productivity fell to zero.
I'm with you every step of the way up until the cracks about intellectual capability. I'm not persuaded that knowledge economies like California and New York have a higher concentration of intellectual capability than boring Iowa or Virginia. Not until we've ruled out other factors, like elitism, would I be willing to entertain the theory of intellectual sorting.
How could you rank them for review priority? Use a combination of repo popularity multiplied by amount of significant differences? Where significant differences are determined by excluding non-code files?
Show HN: Encode and decode messages using animated GIFs of QR codes
Hey HN -

Qraft is something I made for fun after having a conversation with a co-worker about how it would be cool to embed long-form messages as QR codes in GIF format. There's a generator for creating the GIF and a scanner for reading them back. A sharable HTML page is created for each message with decoding instructions. A direct link to the image is also provided for embedding.
We can play the are you familiar with history game forever. They don't just bomb people because they're crazy barbarians. They do it because they have been forced from their homes and constantly had their villages and homes raided, burned, destroyed, and built on top of by Israeli settlers who the army protects. The entire West Bank is like this, and it's not surprising they turned to whatever tactics they could to stop the same from happening to them in Gaza.

And you can understand why normal Israelis feel threatened by such things, so they build a wall and on and on.

If it was just supply (low) vs demand, then people logically would have bought earlier before prices went up.

This seems like panic buying (FOMO) - people buying because prices are rising and they don't want to risk them to get worse, or maybe they see it as a perverse sign of value (like people buying momentum stocks).
Another anecdote to this:

Where I work currently they won’t move off AWS because the relationship is really good and the support has been good (so I’ve been told) and they have had the relationship for quite some time so even though we could get better pricing with GCP or switching some things to more specialized yet reliable vendors we default to AWS for almost everything because the relationship is seen as solid and trustworthy with history to back it up

Doesn’t mean we don’t get quotes from other providers in negotiations at contract renewal time and use frameworks / technologies that allow us to switch vendors pretty easily if we needed and I know there is an upper limit here. However it’s also one of those “we pay a little more for peace of mind and familiarity” things, so it’s with some (relatively marginal) higher cost
For safety not only are they better for peds and bicyclists but also for other cars.

Part of the reason why people are dogpiling into SUVs is that they destroy other cars in collisions, and so to remain safe in a road that is filling up with SUVs you must also be in one.

> However, the claim that they have jurisdiction over EU citizens abroad is very questionable.

The GDPR makes no jurisdictional claims at all based on citizenship, despite a lot of inaccurate summaries saying otherwise. For those cases where the GDPR cares about individuals being EU or non-EU, it only cares about their location, not about their citizenship / nationality or their residence.

I’m not sure I’m following the distinction you’re trying to draw. SimCity is a simulation — just a simplistic one with many simplifications and short cuts.

It’s a toy model.

There’s always simplifications made in any model — SimCity’s happened to be made with “fun” in mind.
They may not agree but the fact on the ground is that the Israeli government does not recognize any Palestinian state, so the people in Palestine are thus under the control of the Israeli state or they are stateless refugees with a right to return (to Israel). Either way, they are the responsibility of Israel the way Israel's government sees it.

What people want is one thing. What governments do is the official thing, that's what I refer to

So it's a price concern? Because you could run for 4k output 8 times to get 32K? Or does the RLHF stuff prevent you from feeding the output back in as more input and still get a decent result? The underlying transformers shouldn't care because they'll be doing that already effectively.

You know, someone had previously written that Meta should be held accountable. Which I guess I didn't consider too strongly.

I'm sorry, but Meta knows why "adult-run minor accounts" make them revenue. Fucking disgusting. I'd love to see some discovery on their internal metrics and how they build out that feature to drive up engagement from these horny creeps.

That’s actually the point. SimCity was made to be fun, not to be a simulation.

To put the dissonance in clearer terms, imagine a book described as "Analyzing interpersonal relationships through the lens of The Sims". Would you take it seriously?

It doesn’t seem like a pedantic distinction to say that the goals of SimCity are different from the goals of simulating reality.
I recommend this book to anyone that will give me a few moments of their ear. It's such an incredible story that if it weren't true I wouldn't believe it could be.
you can just feed that output into another call, to have the next call continue it, since you have more than 28k extra context. The output per token is faster anyways right, so speed isn't an issue. It's just slightly more dev work (really only a couple lines of code)

Apple to oranges much? If we want to ban all pure ICE vehicles then let's discuss that, but if most "SUV" sales today get comparable MPG to other pure ICE vehicles then it's misleading for people to keep citing the stat that SUV sales are rising with the understanding that this means that average MPG is declining.
I'd say it's less a price concern and more a consistency of output concern. It doesn't make much sense to continue incomplete JSON like that I don't think. I need to do some more research.

I have run out of the probiotic so I am in the stage where I continue as I previously did so that I can see whether this is durable, permanent, or whether it is something that needs to be part of a continuous self-maintenance program. The treatment, probiotic capsules taken once daily, is inexpensive and easy to implement. That is right up my alley.

I can definitely say without adding all the nasty details that my whole digestive process from top to bottom has improved dramatically, returning to a normal condition during the period where I took the probiotics beginning on the first day of combined probiotic/antibiotic dosing and continuing thru today with no ill effects and nothing but positive results to report. It remains to be seen just how durable the change will be. I have a spreadsheet of all dosing treatments and now I will be updating it as I see and note the effects of stopping the probiotic. Last night was the first night with no probiotic. I'm gonna let the chips fall where they will.

I'm sure you've heard this before, and I'm sure you don't give a slim shit, but like 3 minors a year undergo gender reassignment surgery.

The posters point was that crossovers are not true SUV’s, they are built on a sedan frame not a truck frame. It is pretty great when compared to the 20mpg average of a Tacoma truck.

Hybrids are great, but it is sidestepping the point that the poster was trying to make.
Ooh this is great to know thank you!
I am referring to Azov, you're delusional if you think the brigade with literal Nazi symbols as their main insignia is not literal Nazis. They are powerful fighters, but any state with a semblance of wanting Western and US assistance should have disbanded the group, changed its name, changed its symbols, and put in place rules to stop them from constantly having Nazi insignia in their uniforms.

Propaganda is a huge part of war, and this: https://www.newsweek.com/nato-says-it-didnt-notice-ukraine-s...

Is terrible propaganda, and it can be easily stopped. That's the most generous way of looking at it. The worst way, is that we'll have another "Fund the Taliban against Russia and see what happens" pt. 2 when the war is over and Azov beats all other parties to rule the area afterwards
Right. Perfection can be the enemy of the good. It's that it's not a particularly a helpful critique. To use the article’s concept, it’s the wrong scale. It might be helpful to an individual in a performance review, but it doesn’t say why X is unnecessary in this project or at this company. Little is added to the discussion until I describe X relative to the goal.

Perfectionism is indeed good to avoid—it's basically defined as a bad thing by being "too". But the better conversation says how X falls short on certain measuring sticks. At the very least it actually engages X in the X discussion. Perfectionism is more of a critique of the person.

This takes work, which is why it tends to signal lazy dismissive arguments. It takes effort to understand the person's idea enough to engage it, but more importantly it takes work that was supposed to (but might not) have gone into developing good projects or goals in the first place. Projects well-formed enough to create constraints for themselves.

They can be a miniature sort-of-abacus. Keeping track of a number while you're scanning a lot of other things that occupy your mind. You can even sort of hold both the 10¹ digit and the 10⁰ digit on your hands if you're used to it, by semi-extending fingers or other methods, counting up to 100 and "physically" keeping the number in "memory".

Most of the time it's not necessary but if I'm particularly tired I use it sometimes.

How crazy would it be to have a package repository that also builds the artifacts it distributes? You’d need a high barrier to entry to save on costs and time sifting through garbage. Perhaps it’s this high barrier that would prevent such a repository from taking off though. Perhaps this is just a really dumb step on a path leading back to simple checksum validations… though with those, you’re only validating that whatever was uploaded is what you downloaded, it doesn’t ensure that it was built from a known set of source files… hard problems.

FOMO is a great strategy when you are trying to sell to customers who will buy your product exactly once and then move on. Examples: collector's editions of video games, sales ahead of gift-giving holidays, tourist traps in "I am here for the one and only time I will ever be here in my life" destinations, enterprise sales to Fortune 500 companies where the buyer will get promoted by the next sales cycle. You emotionally manipulate the buyer to make the sale, the buyer regrets buying it within a day or two, and it doesn't matter because they will never talk to you again anyway.

FOMO is a horrible strategy when you expect to develop a long-term relationship with your customers. Self-respecting people won't stand for it. They will either switch to a competitor out of spite, or blow aside your transparent sales tactic and keep pressuring you downward on price during negotiations.
Feynman Lectures: The Theory of Gravitation (1963)
I can understand why you'd say that, but I don't think the world's that black and white.

Many people would say a detached, Typescript frontend is less simple than SSR. At this point in my career writing a bunch of ad-hoc, per-page Javascript would be more toilsome than writing components. Thus, the prevailing idea of "simple" would be less simple for me.

In that same way, if you've spent a large chunk of your career in Kubernetes then managed Kubernetes is probably a lot more simple than maintaining an image production pipeline and a disjointed Terraform deploy. You'd have to make a choice between immutability and non-immutability with VMs as well, and design lifecycles for them if you choose immutability. That choice is made for you with Kubernetes and has well-established patterns.

That's to say, simple is highly subjective. Like another comment said, simple is the technology you know best today (and that you can easily hire for).

This HN submission is incredibly special to me! I had been searching for this manual for a very long time, finding several closely related documents but never this particular one. When I couldn't locate the manual anywhere, I turned to the HN community with an "Ask HN" post [1].

Remarkably, within just 23 hours, a generous HN user, rmini, scanned all 240 pages of the manual and shared it with us [2].

See the links below for the discussion on the aforementioned "Ask HN" post that resulted in this document becoming available on archive.org! Thank you, @rmini, for your generosity and help!

There isn't necessarily any malice intended; nobody is going to give you a price and honour it forever. Any quotes I do in my micro-ISV are valid for 1 month - not because I'm likely to change the price, but simply because I have no control over things like currency exchange rates and energy prices.

But, I certainly don't use it to pressure the customer.
I don't know a single person who wanted Biden as the democrat candidate. He only won because the other dudes on the ballot are some nobodys that nobody knows. Do you even know who they are without looking? It's almost like it's rigged from the inside with some nobodys just so that Biden wins.
I count difference between small numbers and enums on my fingers.

This includes e.g.

- the distance between months
- the distance between wall clocks

It's simpler for me to say "The number of months between March and September is... April, May, June, July, August, September, six." than "The number of months between March, 3, and September, 9, is 9-3 = 6," because I don't cache the numeric value of the months. Maybe I would if I were a Chinese speaker, where September's name is 九月 jiǔ yuè = nine month.

For wall clocks that wrap around midnight, it's simpler to count because it removes dealing with negative numbers.

I count the number of days in a month on my knuckles.
Interesting, but why did the original poster link to part 2 of the thing?
Sorry, but i have to flag your comment.

> If you are using the word “safety” to mean safety for peds and bicyclists, I would likely agree with you that smaller cars are better for that.

For car drivers probably too, because today there is an "arms race" dynamic playing:

while self.car < other.car:
feel(unsafe)
new_car = buy(car if car >= other.car)
self.car = new_car
feel(safe)
smash(pedestrian)
smash(cyclist)
smash(other.car)

Meanwhile everyone owning other.car is doing the same, so we are caught in a infinite loop and everyone ends worse and worse. A de-escalation is necessary.

> I am having trouble understanding what the complaint is here.

The appropriate level of due diligence for each LLM model transition is to run your various prompts into the new model and make sure they still produce the correct output; and, if they don't produce good output, to update the prompts so that they continue to produce good output.

Just yesterday, I was experimenting with 4o and assumed I could do a flat migration for some work. 4o actually provided worse results - results I explicitly asked to *not* have in my 4 output (and that I didn't have in my 4 output).

It's tedious to have to change models after you've already done a proper validation suite against one model.

That would be (at least my) complaint.

I've even version-stamped the models I use on purpose to avoid surprises.
