The inaccuracy point is particularly problematic as either they cite you as the source despite possibly warping your content to be incorrect.. or they don't cite you and more directly steal the content. I'm not sure which is worse
Fairytales didn't do anything for me. I was more interested in books by authors such as Dr. Seuss, Shel Silverstein, etc. as the focus was more on the manipulation of language itself. The substance mattered very little at the time, it was the form which entranced me. Which is funny, because with visual art I prefer substance over form.

I've had at least one order when the order was damaged and it was automatically reordered by the system. I live in a big city with many nearby warehouses so it may be the exception. I suspect that it's better for delivery people to just ignore a damaged order than to report it and have it be a point against them. But I'm just guessing.

Broadly, as you'll see in the Google doc linked from the announcement, they are referring to the use of computer systems to assist mathematical research, which falls into a two step process: 1) Identify a suitable language for use by both humans and computers for communication and manipulation of mathematical theorems and their proofs. 2) Employ both mathematicians and machine learning algorithms to generate interesting sentences in that language.

Ask HN: What tools do you use to manage your freelance projects and clients?
Hey everyone,

I'm reaching out to all the freelancer developers here!

I'm curious about the tools and systems you use to manage your projects and clients. Specifically, how do you handle:

Project and client information
Budget tracking
Work hours
Project status updates
And any other relevant details
If you don't currently use any dedicated tools, would you consider trying one? And what features would be most important to you if you did?

I think it would be great to share our experiences and recommendations. Whether it's a comprehensive software solution or a unique personal system, let's discuss what works best for us in the freelance world.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and suggestions!

Light pollution has made damn sure that we don't know. If you live in a city (statistically extremely likely) it's a drive of few hundred km to a place where one can see anything remotely similar. If you're lucky.

Unfortunately, I think a lot of people don’t really know how much their power costs. They just pay the bill they are sent, maybe even on autopay and they don’t even look at the statements when they come in.

So, they don’t know how much their power costs, and they don’t have a clue how much solar would cost to buy, install, run, etc… and how that compares to the payback period over time, etc….

These are the people that I think we need to reach.
sure, I mean Amazon hasn't paid dividends either, yet it's a good investment. so there are many ways to value a stock. and as Jim Simons showed the usual traders miss quite a lot.
There's definitely a time axis that comes into play. I'd say that all tech debt should be (but probably isn't always) in that top left quadrant. Like they say, good/fast/cheap - pick two (if you're lucky).
Because there are a lot of people who like that idiot, and as an educational science show, their goal is to educate that idiot and people who like that idiot so they can all be a little less idiotic.
So for context our app (https://nativi.sh) is a language correction app. It takes in text and cleans it up to make it sound more fluent/correct, it's basically geared towards being grammarly for your second language.

For some of our deterministic LLM tests, we have inputs that have known spelling errors but no wrong word errors, or some other combination of errors. If the config under test doesn't identify the issue, or identifies issues that we know aren't there then it's marked as being wrong for that test case. Then we can test across config x language x kind_of_error.

For the LLM vibe driven scoring we have it set up to just do a head to head between the current leading config (usually what's in prod) and the new candidate config rather than generating an abstract score. It will flag "x config straight up failed question N based on some_reason(s)" so that we can manually check it.

My partner wrote the testing framework. She's been thinking about cleaning it up and open sourcing it.

Perfectionism is sort of polarizing, and a lot of product manager / CEO types see it as the enemy. In certain contexts it might be, but in others “perfectionism” translates to “building the foundation flawlessly with the downstream dependencies in mind to minimize future tech debt.” Of course, a lot of managers prefer to pretend that tech debt doesn’t exist but that’s just because they don’t think they can pay it off in time before their team gets cut for not producing any value because they were so busy paying off tech debt. That’s why it’s critical to try to minimize it in the first place, which almost never happens because engineers are held to tight launch deadlines and sacrifices are made in the process. And this is not just a problem at startups, if anything it’s a bigger problem in BigTech™ where I have the privilege of cleaning up after messes that were made over a decade ago.

I've mainly written unusual code that allocates a bunch of FixedBufferAlocators up front and clears each of them according to their own lifecycles. I agree that more typical code would reach for a GPA or something here. If you're using simdjzon, the tape and strings will be allocated contiguously within a pair of buffers (and then if you actually want to copy from the tape to your own struct containing slices or pointers then you'll have to decide where that goes), but the std json stuff will just repeatedly call whatever allocator you give it.
One of my favourite books. Some people seem to prefer "Implementing Domain-Driven Design" by Vaughn Vernon. I have both on my shelf but I've never been able to read much of the latter.

Clean Architecture by Robert C. Martin has a lot of the same stuff distilled into more general rules that would apply to all software, not just "business" software. It's a good book but overall I prefer DDD.

DuoLingo is deceptive at best. It's made addictive at the outset so you feel good. You feel like you're learning. But long term the platform has what is now dubbed enshittification. It gets exponentially harder to keep up with reviews, there are known problems with the lesson structure that will never be addressed, etc. And if you pay money, they'll make it easier for you. Hm.

Real critique example: Duo relies on 1:1 translation. Native language learning isn't even close to 1:1. Every language learner hits a point where they can say, "I know exactly what this phrase means in the target language, and there is no direct translation in English". To finish a language in Duo, you will have to memorize dozens/hundreds+ of totally misleading and bad translations like this.

Tldr. Selling kids DuoLingo for language learning is like selling kids cigarettes to help them learn to build a fire.

It's hard to guess the use of a bike from its looks. When mountain bikes first appeared, most of the people who bought them intended to ride them on pavement, and perhaps rarely on trails. Likewise most pickup trucks and SUV's are bought for urban passenger use.

At the time, the perception was that mountain bikes were just more rugged and comfortable to ride. There was a not inconsequential amount of marketing hype about the condition of roads, and the roads in some areas were in fact pretty crappy. Just due to market timing, MTB's were also where most people first experienced indexed shifting, which did improve the ease of riding a bike.

In the case of e-bikes, there's a tendency to get "more bike than you really need" because the marginal cost is acceptable and the motor takes care of the added weight. And from a pragmatic standpoint, the difference may also be mostly aesthetic.

To be fair, most aircraft accidents are on or just after takeoff, or just before, during or after landing. Those are the most critical minutes when the most things can go wrong.
Things that are exposed to the weather frequently need to be replaced more often than every 40-50 years. Like roofs. And cables. And anything that is an external attachment to the structure.

You might not have to replace the solar panels themselves except on a 40-50 year basis, but if you’ve had to replace everything else that’s been exposed on a more frequent basis, I would have to ask Mr. Theseus how much of that solar system is really the same, and how many of those costs would have to be re-incurred over that longer period of time due to the shorter life span of the other products.
I will say that playing counter strike for money has given me confidence in stressful situations in a workplace, as well as helping me navigate tension between team members/co-workers.

Zeroing memory is very cheap, but not zeroing it is even cheaper.

Zeroing memory on deallocation can be important for sensitive data. Otherwise, it makes more sense to zero on allocation if you know that it's needed because the allocated structure will be used without initilazation and the memory isn't zero by guarantee (most OSes guarantee newly allocated memory will be zero, and have a process to zero pages in the background when possible)

https://arxiv.org/abs/2210.12068

The human brain has at least over 12 different coordinate systems. I like to reference this image: https://cln.sh/gpqhwrw2Hg92MQz62TY6

Humans have the ability to inspect anything from any point of view that we want, like a real time video game simulation system in our minds.
I suspect that artificial neural networks are missing this core ability to encode and translate its point of view when processing data. Just look at basic LLMs failing at the reversal curse: https://arxiv.org/abs/2309.12288 No amount of more GPUs and more training data will fix it.

The entorhinal cortex in humans has a special kind of neuron called grid cells that works with hippocampus cells to do generalized coordinate translations. The discovery of grid cells won a nobel peace prize ( https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/medicine/2014/advanced-inf... ). It is a prime suspect to incorporate for a coordinate transformation layer in my opinion.

I want to build an ANN that incorporates this "coordinate transformation system", but I'm not sure how to translate it into code, this is my dream project.

I think you're thinking of the world as it is today, not as it would be right before a nuclear exchange. I'm thinking of a hypothetical future that is not as unlikely as I would like for it to be. If there is a great power conflict then the presumed loser of that war is likely to go nuclear. We got lucky with the peaceful dissolution of the USSR, we should not expect to get that lucky again. So long as Russia has the advantage in the Ukraine / Russia war I don't see them using nukes for the reasons you mentioned.

It feels like to me that the US is teetering on the precipice of an implosion and for now it is in the interests of the adversaries to take a wait and see approach.

Realpolitik is the politics of practical circumstances, sure if Russia launches one nuke the blowback would be immense and intolerable, but if Russia and China launch enough nukes to go scorched earth then the remaining countries will be figuring out how to best to survive regardless of prior alliances.
Odin is pretty nice, except for its RTTI, bloated executable as a result with the name of your types in clear, author of the language is against having compile time type introspection, so you are stuck with having to do reflection at runtime..

It could have been the perfect language for me, it's unfortunate
It would prevent you from writing the bug at the top of the thread.

I have stopped considering this sort of thing as a potential addition to the language because the BDFL doesn't like it. So realistically we must remember to write reset, or defer deinit, etc. This sort of case hurts a little, but people who are used to RAII will experience more pain in cases where they want to return the value or store it somewhere and some other code gains responsibility for deinitializing it eventually.

There were also cases that (very broadly speaking) claimed that songs were sufficiently similar to constitute a copyright infringement https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pharrell_Williams_v._Bridgepor...

This is interesting from the legal point of view, because AI service providers like OpenAI give you "rights" to the output produced by their systems. E.g. see the "Content" section of https://openai.com/policies/eu-terms-of-use/

Given that output cannot be produced without input, and models have to be trained on something, one could claim the original IP owners could have a reasonable claim against people and entities who use their content without permission.
For this particular product, it doesn't matter what the publication year of the book is. 1) The quotes are short and 2) the use of them is transformative, so this falls squarely within the doctrine of Fair Use.

That said, I'm sure if an author or publisher of a book that's still within copyright contacted Author Clock and asked them to remove their quotes from the database they probably would, because it just wouldn't be a thing worth fighting about.

This made me think of two tangentially related things about code quality and reading which are each 10 years old!

Peter Seibel repeatedly tried to start "code reading groups", but found that they didn't quite work, because while everyone agreed that there was much to be learned from code bases, and that many advised "reading" code, most real code doesn't support "reading" so much as "decoding" or perhaps interactively exploring.

https://gigamonkeys.com/code-reading/

Robert Heaton had a fun post about code reviewing without being able to actually read the specifics of the code. With only a blurry view of the structure of code, one can get a sense of its likely virtues and opportunities for improvement.
https://robertheaton.com/2014/06/20/code-review-without-your...

Kind of in the spirit of both, I love code where you don't _have_ to read most of it because:

- class names, generic parameters, etc, make it clear what classes represent

- method names and signatures make it clear how they're to be used; there are no surprises or gotchas in the specifics of the implementation that foist cognitive complexity onto callers, etc

- the right amount / granularity of structure exists, such that when you do need to read something, the section is moderately sized; there's not some enormous, entangled method that's actually doing 5 things at once. Modularity limits the scope of reading.

But also, when you do need to understand implementation specifics, good code acknowledges that reading is likely not "enough"; good code gives straight-forward on-ramps to interact and experiment with it. It doesn't force you to hunt for a bunch of environmental variables, configurations that are examined by an IoC layer, or magically materialize a file containing a specific serialization of a well-formed record just to invoke.
That's silly. Even if you set aside that people want computers to do more things at once, the basic act of decoding 4K video is beyond a Sandy Bridge chip without a discrete GPU. The world has passed it by. Sorry that weirdo tech primordialism doesn't really work, but not that sorry.
The article mentions 25 year linear degradation warranty, what would be the remaining capacity after 25 years? Because the article doesn't mention it, I assume it's worse than silicon. For silicon it is typically 80% after 25% with most panels commonly exceeding that 80% mark.
I love the Talos Principle 1 and 2, if you liked Portal you will probably like them, they rely less on platforming and more on puzzles that require you to use the puzzle elements in creative ways. The puzzle elements are easy to understand, like a jammer beam gun which jams a force field door when placed. One of the early and obvious tricks is if you have two jammers, how you can bring them both with you through a door.

They also have quite a bit of humanist philosophy, in my opinion they do a good job of being relentlessly optimistic in a way that feels genuine without being overbearingly techno-optimist.
