> If I want to commit I open the command palette with command+p and then fuzzy-search for commit with “co…” or “cm” or whatever you like, and it brings up the suggested commands which I can select with enter.

cm is exactly how I think of commit, but I use it as a custom command on the cli.

I use my cm command like:

cm “Small refactoring of quux and baz”

and it runs

git commit -m “Small refactoring of quux and baz”

Similarly I have other two letter commands for all of the other git operations I most frequently use. (I.e for almost all of the ones I use day to day.)

>It was not. It was actually a profit centre for the NHS as they can (and did) charge foreigners. Makes a good story though.

"Migrants coming to work, study or join family members currently receive free NHS treatment in the same way as a permanent resident. The changes, part of the Immigration Act which became law last year, will ensure that migrants make a proper financial contribution to the cost of their NHS care."

No.

"Fusion power is a proposed form of power generation that would generate electricity by using heat from nuclear fusion reactions." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fusion_power

Relatively little fusion energy is released as gamma radiation. See https://projectrho.com/public_html/rocket/fusionfuel.php for some numbers ("the 3He-D fusion reaction ... generates 77% of its energy in charged particles") and the site in general for why 0.8 c isn't at all realistic.

Like, see https://projectrho.com/public_html/rocket/slowerlight2.php for starship design plans which assume working fusion engines, which max out at 0.1 c.
This why I’d consider shorting NVIDA at these prices. I get there are use case where it really adds value, but I think they are more limited to specific fields than people are acknowledging and forecasting.

>Is video producing co2? yes. But you know what creates a lot more co2? Driving around for entertainment

What's more likely, watching a movie online, drive to watch a movie in a cinema?

You know what creates a lot less CO2? Staying at home reading a book vor playing a board game.

>Datacenters save a lot more energy than they make

I think you mean CO2.
And I doubt that they actually save anything because datacenters are convenient so we use them more as alternatives with less convenience.

Like the movie example, we watch more and even bad movies if it's just a click on Netflix than we do if we have to drive somewhere to watch.

MS recently announced they fail der CO2 target but instead produce 40% more because of cloud services like AI
Since there's no personalized content, it was probably just copy-pasted. I get the constant fear though.
"JavaScript and JQuery: Interactive Front-End Web Development" by Jon Duckett takes a visual approach, making it easier to understand.
No, I really meant structured. Extracting data from structured documents is surprisingly hard when you need very high accuracy.

What I mean by structured is: invoices, documents containing tables, etc.

Extracting useful data from fully unstructured content is very hard IMO and potentially above the capacity of LLMs (depending on your definition of "useful" and "unstructured")
I hate to say but this AI written oureach is strikingly similar to recruiter emails I received in the past 5-6 years about perfect matches so apparently my conclusion was right about that robots are working in the HR field. Carbon not silicon based back then. Actually this AI sounds much more intelligent bringing up realistic similarities. Those perfect match robots did not get beyond picking single keywords chosen of the dozens in LinkedIn account for declaring perfect match while the scope of the job and requirements were off by miles.

Watch out recruiters, AI can do better than you! Not like I will like these unsolicited outreaches more, the exact number is zero, how many times I found these useful or relevant before when biorobots wrote and sent and administrated it in half or just few minutes, and I do not look forward having these now on mass scale when hundreds of AI could write thousands, flooding my email account, making it absolutely unusable.
The normal miners never said that. They just say this at conferences for simple greenwashing.

The normal miner doesn't go to those bitcoin conferences, they buy asics, put them in some warehouses around the world and make money.
Almost certainly not.

The problem time keeping is meant to solve is coordination of physical movements between separated parties that have exceptionally limited and delayed communication capabilities.

All of the time issues we deal with today are in service of keeping these important properties of our civil time in tact.

In terms of computers we should happily ignore the problems of civil time, simply just use TAI, and use a provided database to convert this into "human display time" whenever necessary.
Healthcare pipelines! All well and good until hallucinations cause death or what not!

And why is this better than employing a human. Or reducing complexity. It's not as if human wages are what causes hyper expensive US healthcare costs.

This seems like a negative.
Such a nice idea. I saw the same idea of wang tiling in a youtube video of a conference talk a few weeks ago and found it quite fascinating.

Cold emailing someone who makes their contact information publicly available and might be interested in a sales pitch is not illegal in Europe. Sending SPAM is. The lines get even more blurry with automated AI tools that offer personalized sales pitches as a service.

I'd be curious how this plays out in court. Probably something like:

- If you use an AI tool to scrape leads and to generate the content but then still send out individual emails from your Mail provider, it's still a cold email.

- If you use an AI tool and also automate the email delivery, it should be considered spam.
It's surprising how many vendors of security product refuse to use UTC for timestamps and insist on using the local time of their bay area data center. The number of edge cases that arise from DST issues that are significantly reduced, if not completely eliminated, by using UTC should be reason enough for security product vendors to see it as a core best practice.

They already made the exact same "financial contribution to the cost of their NHS care" as a non migrant, tax.

Hi there, I'm a multifaceted developer as I enjoy learning new tech/patterns with 2.5 years of experience.

My main expertise is backend(.NET Core and Flask), integrating of AI models and creating AI pipelines. but I've also got knowledge in the following areas(most to least comfortable):

- web scraping(scrapy, selenium, playwright),

- frontend development with vanilla js in .NET Core MVC and Vue.js,

- AI(scikit-learn, keras),

- desktop app development(.NET 4.8 WinForms)

I've been currently working on a CRM like management application totally based on AWS with python lambdas, CDK, DynamoDB, SQS, SNS etc.

I am open to 3-6 months of contract work or part-time opportunities too.

Backgammon is not considered "sophisticated," I think.
I'm from Greece (I don't play backgammon myself, though), and backgammon (tavli) is extremely popular but widely considered "a game for the masses." It is played mostly in tavernas and old-style coffee shops, and each game has a social aspect, too. People discussing (sometimes shouting and finger-pointing "no! You should have done this or that! Ah! just get up and let me play, you're a noob!"

I can't but laugh thinking who would be the GMHikaru or GothamChess of tavli :D :D

Edit: This can be misinterpreted. I don't play tavli not because is not considered sophisticated, I just find the rules confusing for certain setups.
KeePass XC also does it.
Except these "Grizzly Men" and Supertramps of the world can only do what they do because society has enabled them to do that. Try living that life without any technology, transportation, modern outdoor equipment, drugs/medications, etc. It's an unproductive and essentially narcissistic way of living, whereas hackers create. This is precisely why Timothy had to build this ridiculous fantasy of him being the protector of these bears, whereas in fact it was him who needed the bears to satisfy his egomania.
I'd disagree to a large extent, because the specific similarities are important:

* the VCs are often literally the same guys pivoting

* the promoters are often literally the same guys pivoting

* AI's excuses for the ghastly electricity consumption are often literally bitcoin excuses

I think that's an excellent start on the comparison being valid.

Like, I've covered crypto skeptically for years and I was struck by just how similar the things to be said about the AI grifters were, and my readers have concurred.
I forgot I had this installed and purchased as I tend to just use the cli for everything and have never really used a GUI. I'll try it out for some trickier merges.

I've been wondering if segmentation might be the way to go. Have the chatbot look at all the items, cluster them into a few buckets of its choosing, then throw each new item into the most appropriate bucket.

(I've been thinking about this not just in terms of HN, but treating all my RSS feeds as one undifferentiated stream and just having a chatbot sort incoming items into whatever bucket it deems most appropriate).

What's stopping me is that it might work, and I doubt making the internet even stickier is good for me long term.
That’s a funny quote, and true in the western tradition of multi course dinners. I’ve made salad for some of my Chinese family and friends, and they loved it - you have to have good sauce and local ingredients, like tofu or taco salad esque beef. Heavy sauce, for the tofu, like Vietnamese oyster sauce. Boiled corn. It works, but it’s a pain.

I just think it’s something that hasn’t had its full chance to shine in the sun, but I’m probably wrong and ignorant. Some liang cai is probably the most I will ever see
So you are saying that literally garbage features like Runes and Ordinals were introduced in the codebase by some voting or other democratic decentralized process? Or was it done by some small cartel of people controlling this system?
It absolutely does, I don't quite get comments here. All VR games use normal assets with all their normal (map) shenanigans. It works the same as on desktop.
Sure if you look at something super close the "illusion" breaks, but it has nothing to do with VR, same thing happens in flat screen games.

Maybe people mistakenly think that most standalone Quest games don't have those
maps because they don't work? Well it's not the case. The standalone games (especially on Q2 vs Q3) have just very low performance budget. You strip out what you can to make your game render in 90 fps for each eye (each eye uses a different camera perspective so each frame scene has to be rendered twice).
You speak of time as if it's some directly measurable quantity. Instead, all we have are periodic quantities of various (messy) physical processes or sampling methods thereof relative to certain underlying models:

- _TAI_: Sampled average of ticks in the (very noninertial) frame of the surface an implicitly-defined idealized rigid Earth. Each tick is further a sampled approximation of our definition of a second, which invokes idealizations at absolute zero.

- _UT1_: Mostly the same frame as TAI. Each tick is considered a sample, trying to measure the "true rotation" of some idealized rigid Earth, module any geophysics. Note, the definition invokes quite sophisticated models of celestial mechanics, and explicitly ignores certain kinds of "high frequency perturbations".

- _UTC_: Based on UT1, but take into account some basic, empirically-measured geophysical processes.

Depending on the particular physical processes, models, and sampling methods you choose, the quantity you get for "seconds since 1970" will be different, and there will be (complicated) relationships for how each of those processes transform tick counts between each other. In some cases, the transformations will be a priori impossible, only permitting approximations under simplifying assumptions.

IMO, the remarkable thing is that the various ticks all line up as well as they do, which is why we can mostly get away with treating all these as a single unified Ticking Time concept. On the other hand, I also think the various standards do a reasonable job delineating messy reality into potentially useful tick-producing processes and the systems needed to make those practically useful.

As a software engineer, the lesson for me is that I can't always ask "what time is it?", "how long has it been?", or "which came first?" Instead, we I may need to shift focus onto different invariants in the problem I'm trying to solve.
Eventually Rust just gave up. Here you go, here's your "monotonically increasing clock" courtesy of your operating system. It might go backwards, try asking your vendor to "fix" that and see if they laugh at you or just ignore you.

Sometimes the OS is broken in a way Rust can fix, for example Rust's current std::sync::RwLock actually does what you wanted on Windows, the C++ std::shared_mutex doesn't. It's documented as working, but it doesn't because the OS is broken and the fix is just on their internal git "next release" branch, not in the Windows you or your customers are running.

But sometimes you're just out of luck. Some minority or older operating systems can't do std::fs::remove_dir_all correctly, so, too bad you get the platform behaviour. It's probably fine, unless it isn't, in which case you should use a real OS.
I would like to see a court case involving this, as it doesn't seem right.

Contracts aren't programming languages. Lawyers make mistakes. There's a process to handle this.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rectification_(law) tells me "Rectification is a remedy whereby a court orders a change in a written document to reflect what it ought to have said in the first place" as the term in English law, and says "In the United States, the remedy is commonly referred to as reformation."

https://www.lexology.com/library/detail.aspx?g=9c7749da-c692... gives an example for Australia: "A Court will correct missing words or incorrect clause numbers in a contract because these are obvious errors."

Furthermore, contract law is not criminal law.
This is sort of why I feel somewhat pessimistic about AI - the inevitable most profitable usecases being so bad in aggregate for a society with almost no bounds or values other than profit. It will never be easier to waste peoples attention.

Show HN: I built an integration to update OpenAI assistant with website crawls
We developed an enterprise support assistant to answer common customer questions about Apify Actors.

To keep the assistant's knowledge uptodate, I built an integration that crawls Apify's website for documentation and public actors, updating the assistant's information.

OpenAI Assistants were chosen for their versatility and efficient retrieval of knowledge base files.

To make this process straightforward, we integrated OpenAI Assistant with the Apify platform: https://github.com/jirispilka/openai-vector-store-integratio...

I think it is just a risk calculation. How much does a lawsuit for 'wrongful termination of a life' cost vs how much does it cost to have a 'wrongful continuation of a life' and how often is it expected to occur within a given time period and given a set of safeguards. Then you choose the safeguards such that your expected cost is as low as possible. Doctors are only there to fill in the checklist.
