They define "hand-picked" as including "collections of items selected/curated by a seller".

"Here's a curated selection of my favorite dancewear I drop-ship from AliExpress" seems to fit that just fine.
Agreed. It's interesting how much analysis is given to the outcomes of these less cruel positions, at the same time that one hears calls for "more policing" as if that is not literally advocating for greater rates of incarceration and authoritarian violence without further consideration.
Well it's not funny so it's hard to read as a joke.

In a lot of cases adding your child as a primary driver to a very expensive car will significantly increase the cost of the insurance. My brother quadrupled my father's insurance price, for instance, because he was a teenager. Most people can't afford to just eat the increased monthly, so they have to balance the need to have their kid be functional in the real world with the need to make sure their kid is "safe." A lot of older vehicles are still fairly safe in common accidents, as "older" in many cases means driver and passenger airbags, seat belts, crumple zones, and so on. I think the most you can say here is that you can afford to have your kid drive the Tesla. Many people can't.

I could make some points about how the NHTSA values occupant safety over the safety of people in other cars but that's a totally different discussion.
Both product and middle management seems just as ripe a target for automation as coding. Why do you think that can't be automated away?

It's definitely something that is different from person to person. I strongly prefer it disabled, but not because it looks terrible most of the time - I could get used to it if it looked exactly like it would look if it had been produced with that higher framerate. The issue arises whenever it breaks, for example by making the acceleration of visible motion unnatural. This happens fairly often, either through unrealistic acceleration, or by breaking the previously established visual language of the movie. That's where it breaks my immersion - but that's not the case for everybody, and it's absolutely legitimate to say that you prefer either, or don't care at all!

Maybe a good analogy to understand the "it's objectively wrong" perspective (even if I disagree) is AI upscaling, for example of historical photos. Just like autosmoothing it adds details in a mostly plausible way, and some people prefer it, but it adds fake detail (which understandably annoys purists), and sometimes it actually breaks and produces visual artifacts.
> Now, who even looks at how much RAM their app uses?

I do, constantly. In large swaths of software engineering, RAM and other resources are still scarce enough to require careful consideration in their use.
Can someone explain this to a layman? Because it seems to me the four solutions proposed are:

1. Seeing the future
2. Building a ten times higher capacity network
3. Breaking Net neutrality by deprioritizing traffic that someone deems “not latency sensitive”
4. Flood the network with more redundant packets

This feels like back in the day when photo editing and publishing software started getting big. "True artists" would shun anyone using those tools as amateurs. And for the most part they were right. It was mostly used by amateurs to create stuff that didn't look very good.

That is where we are with AI art right now. Most of it is garbage created by people who don't know what good art is.

But just like back in the day, a few professionals decided to adopt the new tools instead of complain about them. And all of a sudden they were creating good art much faster than their competitors. And then those tools simply became the tools of the trade.

This is where AI art is going. It will be a tool in the artists toolbox, just like Photoshop is. A great artist will use AI to do most of the work, and then add their professional taste and talent to make it great.

The smart artist is learning how to integrate AI into their workflows.

* And I'm including software engineers here as well. The smart engineer is incorporating copilots into their software development workflows.

Would neon offer some degree of these benefits?

Is neon more plentiful than helium?

Edit: No.

"...neon is comparatively scarce on Earth... It is primarily obtained through the fractional distillation of liquid air, making it significantly more expensive than helium due to air being its sole source."

I see something like this quoted frequently in Chevron discussions:
“Leaves scientific and public health matters to the personal views of judges.”

Is this accurate? Or would the experts - currently sitting in regulatory bodies, or lobbying somewhere - transition to the courts, similar to how they are used in criminal cases?

Are the “batshit-but-here-for-life” edge case judges really going to be making decisions based on their personal non expert views? Sounds like negligence.

These cells won’t divide because they will fail to replicate their DNA due to the lack of thymidine. The use case is cell therapies, where you give the patient cells grown in the lab but you don’t want those cells to potentially divide and cause cancer. For example, CAR T therapy to treat cancer, or dopaminergic neuron replacement therapy for Parkinson’s disease.

Hey, that's where we bring in triage grouping and duplicate identification. We show you what are the similar issues and we are also working on smart merging so to merge the information from both the issues.
Presumably that depends on what actions are taken based on the filter. If it’s a filter of “which images to not sync to cloud,” that’s a different discussion than “which images to trigger an alert to FBI for investigation and prosecution.”
I appreciate the post (for what it's worth). I suspect that we are probably considered "anachronisms," in today's culture.

I am retired. I didn't want to be retired, but I was told that I'm too old (I was 55, when I retired in 2017) to be playing at programmer; that it's a young man's game, and I should just go and carve decoy ducks in my garage or something.

Fortunately, I had enough set aside, that I was able to just accept that no one wants to play in my sandbox, and work on my own. The scope is more humble, but I am absolutely thrilled with the work that I do, and so are the folks that benefit from it (I tend to write stuff for people that can't afford the kind of stuff I write).

Money isn't everything, but I suspect a lot of folks don't realize that, until it's way too late.
What do you mean “this purpose”? The text linked in OP says

The original quote does that as well and I only reversed it to give the perspective of increative people :)
How? By monitoring them?
I have no intention to argue with either of you, but from an outside perspective, it's you who is very hard to discuss with.

I don't understand what's wrong with rusticpenn original post and I don't think they argue in bad faith. Maybe you are right, but because of all the personal attacks you make, it's hard to see your point, and you also come of as very rude. I don't write this to criticize you - I'm just saying that if you change the way you argue, you will probably convince many more people to your ideas. Constructive discussion is, in general, a very useful skill in life.
> Imagine how many more video games and movies can be made when we don't need anywhere near as many artists as before. How many more diagrams in textbooks. How many extra illustrations for Wikipedia.

With the possible exception of Wikipedia illustrations, I wasn't aware we had a meaningful shortage of any of those things. On the contrary, there are more great video games and movies (and books, and TV shows, etc., etc.) already available than I could ever hope to get through in my lifetime.

GenAI in anything resembling its current form can only dilute these markets with worthless slop and make it harder for consumers to find actual worthwhile media made by and for humans. This problem will be compounded if it also makes creative careers less viable for humans.
Tornadoes are the big one for me.
Fact checking is not objective, you just need to convince someone that your facts jive with their perception.
Award for good IT citizen goes to you, sir or madam or <insert honorary>.
The problem isn't that people are luddites and hate technology, it's that it has been built on the backs of peoples artistic work, and they haven't been asked or compensated for it.
> Imagine how many more video games and movies can be made when we don't need anywhere near as many artists as before.

We have several lifetimes’ supply of good art in practically every medium already, even relatively new ones. Recording and mechanical reproduction have already enormously devalued creative talent and left us with a glut.

Harming the value of artistic talent and skill even further, to get us more of something we’re already drowning in, isn’t really an improvement.

> You can force their assets to be wholly absorbed by other entities, like the Obama admin did with WaMu and Bear Stearns, but you can't liquidate them like a normal company.

Where I disagree here is that I don't see a forced absorption being needed if the assets are worth it. There may very well be red tape that needs to be cut or expedited in an extreme scenario, but if a bank's assets are still worth any value another bank will buy them for a price that benefits them. The government only needs to force the acquisition, including financial assistance or guarantees, if the bank assets have no net value.

> It begs the question, if these entities hold such a huge portion of the nation's financial destiny in their hands, why are they not beholden to the public?

This I totally agree with, though I land on the opposite direction. Should entities be allowed to be so large that they realistically need to be beholden to the public? I'd rather see bank protections removed, that would incentivize smaller banks that are inherently more beholden to their depositors.
The counterargument is that AI lets those without the skills take part too.

AI can help someone bring their musical ideas to fruition, draw pictures, or write stories.

There is still creative direction from a human - and now, rather than having to be a highly skilled human, it can now be almost anyone. In a way, AI brings creativity to the masses who aren't lucky enough to have the time to hone skills that would take thousands of hours to learn any other way.
I think Google does it now. One problem is see is that people may optimize for price tickets and not business goals to get bigger credit. Business need is 2 day trip but people may extend it by 2 days to get cheaper air tickets but on balance it will be more for the company due to additional hotel cost.
Totally agree - I appreciate and understand (and agree with) the enum idea.

But stating “don’t use booleans” is a terrible absolutist ideas that will lead to terrible code. Imagine a student reads it, takes it to heart, and starts creating dedicated enums for every logic branch in their code.

Indeed. Docker solved distributing and running python programs like 10 years ago. You can even run CUDA and pytorch in docker nowadays. And the usual answers you see on HN every time someone brings up "just use docker" on those threads, is "but I don't wanna """learn""" docker". Takes 10 min to get a python container running with 0 experience in Docker.
My favorite version of this sentiment is also the earliest one I know of -- even beating the SMBC comic linked by others here by an additional half a year -- by Alex Krokus, in no small part as it doesn't fall into this trap of talking about physical tasks like laundry/dishes or plumbing: "but i like making art | can it do my taxes? -- no it can't".

Correct me if I'm wrong here, but it seems that you're taking the wrong lesson from the above quote.

It's not an instruction manual on what parts of the human experience are not yet fully captured by AI.

It's a condemnation on the entire purpose of AI as actualized in our economy, re: it's presumed lofty sci-fi-inspired aspirations (giving humans more creative liberty and freedom) versus how it's actually being operationalized (replacing their creative liberty and freedom).

Embodied AI will only accelerate that trend.
Yup, I found about this when I accidentally clicked on such a link to PlayStore that was missing the colon and was confused when it didn't work and copy-pasted it in the address bar. I am sure it was just a typo on that website.

Cool method to use LLM to build cross language interfaces
Here is a cool tip on how to use hashtag#LLM to build cross-language interfaces.
I did it with hashtag#ChatGPT-4o but it will probably work with others.

Here is my prompt:
I need to use following c++ class from python code:
class TestIt {
public:
std::string f1, f2;

std::string getf1() const { return f1; }
};

And here is what I get as output:
To use a C++ class from Python, you can use a tool like `pybind11`, which allows you to create Python bindings for C++ code. Here is a step-by-step guide to expose your `TestIt` class to Python:

### Step 1: Write the C++ Code

First, let's create a header file (`test_it.h`) and an implementation file (`test_it.cpp`) for your C++ class:

*test_it.h:*

```cpp
hashtag#ifndef TEST_IT_H
hashtag#define TEST_IT_H

hashtag#include <string>

class TestIt {
public:
std::string f1, f2;

std::string getf1() const { return f1; }
};

hashtag#endif // TEST_IT_H
```

*test_it.cpp:*

```cpp
hashtag#include "test_it.h"

```

### Step 2: Write the pybind11 Binding Code

Create a new C++ file for the pybind11 bindings, say `bindings.cpp`:

*bindings.cpp:*

```cpp
hashtag#include <pybind11/pybind11.h>
hashtag#include <pybind11/stl.h>
hashtag#include "test_it.h"

namespace py = pybind11;

PYBIND11_MODULE(testit, m) {
py::class_<TestIt>(m, "TestIt")
.def(py::init<>()) // Bind the default constructor
.def_readwrite("f1", &TestIt::f1) // Bind the public member f1
.def_readwrite("f2", &TestIt::f2) // Bind the public member f2
.def("getf1", &TestIt::getf1); // Bind the getf1 method
}
```

### Step 3: Build the Python Module

To compile the code, you need to have `pybind11` installed and properly set up. You can install `pybind11` using pip:

```sh
pip install pybind11
```

Create a `CMakeLists.txt` file to handle the build process:

*CMakeLists.txt:*

```cmake
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.10)
project(testit)

set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 14)

find_package(pybind11 REQUIRED)

add_library(testit MODULE bindings.cpp test_it.cpp)
target_link_libraries(testit PRIVATE pybind11::module)
```

### Step 4: Compile the Module

Run the following commands to compile your module:

```sh
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
```

This will generate a shared library file (`testit.so` on Linux, `testit.pyd` on Windows) that you can import in Python.

### Step 5: Use the Module in Python

Finally, you can use your C++ class in Python:

*test.py:*

```python
import testit

# Create an instance of TestIt
test_instance = testit.TestIt()

# Set values for f1 and f2
test_instance.f1 = "Hello"
test_instance.f2 = "World"

# Get the value of f1 using the method
print(test_instance.getf1()) # Output: Hello

# Print the value of f2 directly
print(test_instance.f2) # Output: World
```

### Additional Notes

- The `pybind11` library should be correctly installed and discoverable by CMake.
- Adjust the `CMakeLists.txt` if you have additional include directories or dependencies.

By following these steps, you should be able to use your C++ class `TestIt` in Python seamlessly.
On a similar note, you can now run Scheme in the browser via wasm: https://spritely.institute/hoot/

The current release can do coroutines via the delimited continuation support, but the next release will have ready-to-use lightweight threads (aka "fibers") that integrate with JS promises. No async/await marked functions/calls.
> Well, the compiler has no way of knowing if a function will later be a signal handler after linking, or even dynamic loading.

That's why GP suggested annotating them. Typically this would be done via a function attribute.

> There is no portable way to annotate all functions ever written or ever will be written as being async signal safe.

This is not a requirement for such an annotation to exist and to be used by projects that care about security or even just correctness.

> Which functions are async signal safe varies with the operating system and runtime (eg. an unsafe function in linux-gnu might be safe in linux-musl or linux-bionic).

And libc implementations already annotate many of their functions to tell the compiler how they work. Compilers are also more than happy to assume behavior of standard function matches the C/C++ standards in non-freestanding environmnets.

> Other than those insurmountable problems, yeah, good idea.

All fairly trivial problems that have already been solved many times for similar issues.

I'd like a more general attribute though to declare that a particular funcion is in some abstract domain and then annotations that certain functions may or may not be called in certain domains. This could come useful in cases where you want some functions to only be called from special threads.
What would happen if you had a rigid structure that helium could permeate, but nothing larger could, and then filled it up with helium and waited?

Would most of the helium exit, until it was balanced with just the partial pressure of helium in the atmosphere? That would be nearly a vacuum, wouldn't it?
Yeah that’s one way. And you can test that docs don’t link to code that does not exist.

Here are some other Good Ideas in a blog post I stumbled upon the other week:

The difference is that everyone thinks they're an artist now, skipping pesky things like talent or effort. GenAI is the ultimate tool for people who have the creativity of a potato.

> You need Kubernetes, and you need to be able to monitor your environment, but you don’t have the resources to staff up.

Then you don't necessarily need it. You can also use cloud native solutions which is meant to address many scenarios (of course not every) like this one where there's lots to do and not enough people, offload the thinking to a provider. If you're running thin, then you should not be subjecting yourself to a system like k8s, it requires going in with eyes wide open and a lot of awareness.

I mean, the on-prem, Cloud adverse crowd was totally out voted when Microsoft was pushing enterprise to cloud. The whole point was scalability, flexibility, knowledge requirements, ect ect. The server administrators and network engineers balked, but eventually got fired and rehired somewhere else as "cloud architects" working with technology that nobody really likes, nobody really understands, and is kind of a moving target of security and business implications.

But what do we know, right? I mean who would have guessed that the vendor would screw you in the exact fashion that you were told the vendor would try to screw you in.

You asked for this kind of treatment, and then threw away your last bargaining chip against it. You own nothing, so you have no say left in anything. Congratulations. Don't forget your renewal date.
Embarrassing. Not responding for months is actively malicious and should be punished as such, towards the entire company too, not just one throwaway developer to shift blame on to.
"[Artists] would much rather be properly compensated for their work..."

'Properly compensated'... determined by the market, right? That's being driven close to $0, just like with software (and was headed that direction before the recent AI craze).

"Artists would much rather... focus more on fulfilling creative tasks."

Like the two penis jokes shown on that site? Incredible.
