No, they absolutely do change the rate at which the person inside stops: most importantly they affect the amount of time it takes for their head to stop moving, by starting to decelerate it before it hits the dashboard (the seatbelts also contribute to this).
macOS has built in shortcuts to switch through windows of the currently focused application. I have it reconfigured to alt+tab

This is not exactly what you are looking for but I personally like it more this way. So for example, I can switch between editor and browser via cmd tab but then I can cycle through browser windows via alt tab. These are two separate actions and it prevents me from having to cycle too much (compared to a solution that cycles through all windows of all applications)

Also helps to build temporal and spatial muscle memory. The first browser window is the main one, the next one was the one before that and so on
Nice work! I spent a bit too much time creating a map with 5 colors… ;)
It's weird, vertical farming has gotten so much hype but really only makes sense for luxury products like microgreens, and still only makes sense if you specifically want to grow them in an expensive, dense city. Even things like mature lettuces, tomatoes, and strawberries have been tried extensively and simply don't make economic sense to grow indoors in stacks the vast majority of cases.

I wonder if conservative/progressive and right/left were false dichotomies. At the extremes there are remarkably similar outcomes. Corruption is present at the extremes and the more moderate center. Some of the corruption is more explicit and illegal (pay me and I'll do this), other less so and legal (you did this while in office so now we hire you for big $ to do little.)

MOND remains popular because it's made so many successful a priori predictions that DM failed to do. At the risk of being too reductive: DM is popular among maths-oriented astrophysicists because as physicists they like particles and deep theories, and MOND by contrast, doesn't have a full theory justifying the adjustments to gravity and they don't like that; MOND tends to be more popular among astronomers than astrophysicists because they like effective theories that make successful predictions using few parameters, and MOND is somehow better at that (as with this paper).
So a few reasons come to mind. Firstly, these projects usually do more than one HN posts. And by the time they have thousands of users, they have already done quite a few HN posts by then. Additionally, if you follow a particular scene (JS in this case) then you can hear about these projects quite a lot on tech Twitter. Adonis was being actively discussed a few days ago after Theo posted a video about why there is no Rails alternative in JS-land. I personally remember hearing about Adonis when I searched for a Rails alternative in JS a long time ago.

And lastly, this project specifically has been in the making for a good number of years now. So it makes sense that there are quite a few people out there using it.
Yes, the GP’s reasoning is faulty (actually, “imperfect” would be a better term), but things aren’t as clear as you put it either.

Homogeneity helps with trading commodities, no question. And commodities reduce risk by allowing a very wide fan out on both sides of a two sided market…which has advantages and disadvantages for all participants.

More along your argument, it also lets the farmer use capital better in the short term (you buy the equipment you need for your monocrop).

But if you have multimodal devices you have the opportunity to take advantage of more flexibility. You can do crop rotation to use less chemicals or to take advantage of trends in the commodity market. You can have a different mix of crops for the same reason (half corn, half row crops, though they re typically worth less). You have more flexibility to adapt to climate change. The commodity markets can handle all this, in fact they help enable it.

This isn’t magic wand — crop rotation doesn’t make sense if, say, you have an orchard. But mechanization also caused us to abandon growing multiple crops in the same field, which can have benefits and improve yield. It was just way too labor intensive. If we go back to individual “labor” (automated in this case) it could be worthwhile.
This is why image based distros are helpful. They still allow the same flexibility, but now you do your very deep system level customization either through overlays so that everything is recorded and reversible, or in the cloud through ci/cd so that if you mess something up it doesn't immediately affect your computer at all, and things can be more repeatable. Combine this with rollbacks and such and it's quite good.

This is how I feel. GPT and similar LLMs demoes extremely well, but collapses as soon as its put through any kind of real world problem. However, we absolutely are living through press release driven business administration, so it's likely that the realistic approach will be discarded for things that are sexier for the media. Companies will pay for this.
That was fun.

On another note, I dislike how “Zero-Knowledge Proofs” are called proofs. It’s not a proof. You iteratively increase your belief that the result is true, like in experimentation, but that’s not a proof.
The video Finite State Machines explained by Abelardo Pardo[1] seems like a good introduction (I'm not familiar with the author; I just searched Finite State machine on youtube and found the first result which wasn't a jumbled mess of abstract or misused jargon).

It may seem simple, but that's truely all there is to finite state machines, a set of finite states and a set of events which cause transitions between states. Their specific applications to various domains is a much larger topic, but with a basic understanding, any application should be clear whenever it comes up. There's no one way to implement a state machine, and you've probably used them all the time, even if you haven't thought about them formally. For example, a simple but common 2-state machine takes the form:

running = true
while running:
…
if <some condition>:
running = false

Well I already have a firmware version that can run in a few KB, which my father developed in Motorola assembly and that ran most of the soil moisture monitoring devices sold to the big-volume wine grape producers in Australia (mostly in Riverland SA supplying Treasury etc) from the late 90s till about 2010, after which newer products using Zigbee and cellular IoT took over (though we worked together on our own newer versions supporting Bluetooth LE and Cat-M1 up until his retirement a couple of years ago).

I hear you that $20 is high - but the status quo in this business now is monitoring devices that sell for AUD $600+, and with LTE-M or LoRa comms modules that cost over AUD $60 alone.

I'm forever thinking about ways you could drive the cost down further. I'd love it if there were a way to get the on-plant modules under $1. Feel free to get in touch if you want to discuss further.
My sense is they're trying to reduce request size/processing/reading from disk for their solar-powered server, more than reduce the whole world's energy use.

I think the same can be said of crashes… Or at least recessions… You would not want a market without corrections or recessions.

I can’t stop beating this analogy to death:

A market that is never allowed to fall into recession is like a forest whose fires are always snuffed out immediately… One of these days it’s gonna go and when it does the resulting conflagration will be many, many times worse than if It had been allowed to burn a little bit here and there…

It was interesting to read this article and come to the line where they said the benefit derived from "cheese and fruits." I read that and thought "I bet it's 90% fruit and 10% cheese." But no, actually the effect was stronger for cheese than fruit.
Problem is that they can just keep rewording and repackaging it endlessly until the checksum doesn't match but the final effect is mostly the same.
I haven't crunched the math or anything, but you don't feed 8 billion people with small farms unless every 10th person is willing to go farm. Currently it's more like every 150th.
This scares me. Lua is already pretty niche, they customized it, and it's getting transpiled to js or wasm. There are too many places for that to go wrong, problems will be hard to investigate, and it's added ramp-up time for new hires.

In general, any time you venture away from a platform's default language (Objective C, Swift, Java, Kotlin, JS), things get significantly more complicated.
A good way to think about this is to compare the cost of a commodity to shipping costs. Sure, pricey bottled spring water gets shipped all over the world, but bulk agricultural water (measured in acre feet) doesn't. It's heavy for what it's worth, so it's mostly transported downhill in rivers, canals, and so on, with occasional pumps.

There's no global market for water, like there is for oil and liquified natural gas, because the price of water is much lower. Instead there are regional water projects.

Even for natural gas, there aren't pipelines everywhere, and shipping natural gas (by ship) is more expensive than transporting it through pipelines.

I'm excited to test this out! I've been building an open source TypeScript agentic AI platform for work (DevOps related with an autonomous agent and software engineer workflow). The Claude 3 models had an influence on the design with their tuning on using XML and three levels of capabilities, and have been my preferred models to use.

I remember having moments looking at the plans Opus generated and being impressed with its capabilities.

The slow speed of requests I could deal with, but the costs could quickly add up in workflows and the autonomous agent control loop. When GPT4o came out at half the price it made Opus quite pricey in comparison. I'd often thought if I could just have Opus capabilities at a fraction of the price, so its a nice surprise to have it here sooner that I imagined!

The agent platform isn't officially launched yet, but its up at https://github.com/trafficguard/nous

I never liked the Langchain API when I looked at the examples so I built it from scratch. It has an autonomous agent with a custom XML-based function calling, memory and call history. The software engineer agentic workflow I initially dog-fooded with a prompt like "Complete Jira XYZ-123". So it gets the Jira description, finds the appropriate terraform project in GitLab, clones, edits (delegating to Aider), creates a MR and messages on Slack. It also has a UI for running agents, human-in-the-loop interactions etc.

I'm Christian, and I don't think religious orgs should be tax exempt.

It may have worked well until now, but I worry that in the future it will allow future administrations to threaten tax-exempt status for churches that don't conform their teaching to society's preferences in the moment. Churches shouldn't be in it for the money anyway. We should just rip that entire band-aid off and undo something we never should have done in the first place.

> I'm not sure how your analogy with chicken is supposed to work. If you cooked chicken, submerged it in oil, and then incubated at room temperature for a few days, then I definitely wouldn't eat that either. The problem isn't the initial population of C. botulinum; it's that they multiply under the anaerobic conditions of the oil.

Let me spell out the analogy: The problem with chicken isn't long-term presence of a bacteria colony (botulism), it's presence of salmonella. Salmonella doesn't need days to become a problem - it's a problem immediately. Chicken when raw is a great environment for salmonella. Chicken when cooked is a great environment for salmonella - in fact, there are numerous food safety incidents that occur when people use the same utensils on raw and cooked chicken, transferring the bacteria. Hence, the only reason it is safe to eat the cooked chicken is because you kill (enough of) the salmonella during the cooking process.

Conversely, he document you cited makes the claim that raw garlic is a great environment for botulism, and so is roasted garlic, and does not address whether the cooking process kills the bacteria. In fact, it makes the claim by implication that there is no roasting process that kills the bacteria. As far as I can tell, these claims are made without any actual experiment, and it is simply enough that the environments before and after processing are good for harboring the bug.
At the very least, they finally should switch over to ESM-by-default and announce that 2 or 3 major versions in advance. "From Node 25 all code is assumed ESM unless you have `"type": "commonjs"` in your package.json" is not a particularly difficult message to send out and would stop people from writing new projects using the now legacy CJS (super great that it existed back when JS had nothing even close to a dependency model, but it should have been retired once ESM went from stage 4 to "this is literally and officially how JavaScript works")
> More than half (55 percent) of all the income generated by 501(c)(3) organizations comes from tax-exempt hospitals and health-care plans.

The median operating margins for hospitals is around 0% or some times negative. Injecting more costs into the system is only going to push prices further upward.

> The majority of tax-exempt organizations today are business-like in form and function, including credit unions, hospitals, utilities, insurance companies, universities, professional athletic associations, golf clubs, and consulting firms, to name a few.

I'm completely on board with clamping down on tax exempt status for a lot of these other businesses, though. Credit Unions are nice, but they're still just banks. Insurance companies are obviously businesses. Athletic associations, golf clubs, consulting firms -- What is even going on that allowed these to be nonprofits?
Or they are adherents to the hypothesis of Linguistic Determinism which preexisted LLMs by quite some time.

The only thing that comes close is .NET, and that's MICROS~1. On the timescales in my business that's not an option, they can't be trusted to not act like Oracle does and they are deeply ingrained into important libraries in that "ecosystem".

Rumour has it that there is some PDF/A capable library for .NET, but I would have to put in quite some time to figure out if it is low level enough for the control I need and whether there are additional libraries suited for layout and typography. Since I might have to ditch it within five years, that's not an option.

Some people claim .NET developer ergonomics on Linux are fine now, but those I know personally that tells me this are using VSCode, which I consider a rather shoddy piece of software. Am I going to take the time and see if it's the case? Fiddle around with IntelliJ plugins and try to setup a LSP for vim and whatnot? Nope, I won't, because there is no revenue in that, and I might suddenly have to do the great rewrite several times at once further down the line.

Maven is a turd, but a very solid one when you've figured out the XML incantation you need. I'm not sure what the alternatives are in .NET-land, or whether I can feel that I trust that they will work fine in ten years, like fifteen year old Maven projects tend to do. GraalVM allows me to output neat executables too.

Java has Wildfly. What's the equivalent in .NET? Running a MICROS~1 Windows Server with IIS? That's not an option.

And so on and so on.

I'm OK letting religious institutions keep their tax exemption, but we should make them adhere to the same standards as 501(c)(3) organizations (non-profits). A whole lot of churches would either start paying taxes, or expose themselves as frauds with those financial transparency requirements.
I would like to see the ideas of dithering applied to voting systems.

Ie. Imagine a country with hundreds of elected officials, each of which represents a town or city. Each official is part of a party.

A dithering-like system could be used during the vote so that the country as a whole is fairly represented, and most towns also are represented by who the majority of their population wants.

It would work by, during an election, whenever a candidate is chosen for a location, any votes for other parties get transferred to neighbouring towns and cities. That is done repeatedly until every towns seat is filled, and nearly every voters vote has an impact (if not in their local town, then it gets to help a candidate of the same party nearbyish)
MOND is also just a lot easier to feel like you understand than the zoo of proposed dark matter particles, so it sticks in the layman mind.
> Is it really a bad thing that people are trying crazy stuff?

There's a major difference between different kinds of "crazy new stuff".

One kind is things that are just beyond the current frontier, and things people obviously kind of want, like say self-driving cars. It's another thing if we're talking about haphazardly bolting the new hotness in a distracting, pointless, or detrimental manner onto every single tech stack in the entire world, regardless of whether people actually want it, and regardless of whether it hurts end-users.

Lots of the current activity with AI is clearly more in the 2nd category than the 1st. In terms of end-users, things like job searches, home/apartment searches, loan applications, college admissions, etc are just a few of the most obvious examples where things are about to get muuuuuch worse for almost everyone (and it was already kind of awful).

Businesses/institutions generally don't care about end-users of course, but I would argue that it won't really help them either. It will just become another very large cost of doing business in the modern world, something you have to do to even be involved, similar to marketing/advertising/legal-council and the rest of the boring-but-necessary overhead. A necessary evil but one with very ambiguous ROI.

My gut tells me that the robot will cost less in the long run. It also doesn't seem like a hard problem (yeah, easy to say) since row crops are planted at fixed spacings and detecting that the thing next you is a plant and not a rabbit should not be a difficult task. The combination of GPS mapping (planter knows where it was during planting), known plant & row spacing, and basic visual imaging should simplify the problem.

So why isn't it done today? Probably still cheaper to rely on the weather or center pivot irrigation.
Does it actually handle it though? I use bun to run my remix app at work and I have run into ESM/CJS issues.
