Common Lisp has been like this forever. It makes testing the language much easier, as you don't have to check for overflows when constructing test code.

A dynamic language like CL has the added requirement that the integers fit with everything else under a single top type, which in practice limits fixnums to a few bits less than the word size.

What is Old is New Again – The past 18 months In the tech industry
My experience of them was that upper management set "Objectives" like "1% YoY Online Sales Growth" for your group or team or whatever and then each team in that group (again, or whatever) would come up with their own "Key Results" that they thought, if the result was achieved, would translate to that objective.

So for example, if you worked in online retail like I did, maybe you'd get an objective like that and then hypothesize a few things along the lines of "if we increase product image interactions by X% then sales should go up by Y%." as key results that you then report back out to management to show progress towards your objective.

As an aside, odd to see people here are so pessimistic about the idea. Education is hard to scale because tutors are hard to scale. ChatGPT is already an ad-hoc educator for me, in a similar jump that Wikipedia was. Having a purpose-built product with a hand-crafted curriculum, that's a killer idea.
> Otherwise you end up with people insisting on using DOS for enterprise applications in 2024 because that's what they've used since 1984 (wish I hadn't experienced this).

DOS as a tech stack is ludicrous (unless you're working in embedded/industrial scenarios, but hey, at least you can command a significant paycheck in exchange for that level of horrors).

A terminal user interface however? Absolutely not, particularly if your userbase often has literally decades worth of muscle memory. Banks, governments or travel agencies (see an example for Amadeus here [1]) live and die with the "legacy" TUI.

I think there are a few reasons for this. The primary one is that it's a visible signal, and people make attribution errors almost constantly so it gets fixated on. I think the other reason might be that it's unpopular (and not actionable) to say "this company succeeded because the people there are better than you" or "this company had great product market fit, and the employees efforts really didn't make the difference"
Thank you for your support and interest!

1. The local storage version will not be dependent on Taim servers, so once you buy it, you can use it forever, even if we stop supporting it (although currently user data is stored on cloud, but it will change)

2. I appreciate your feedback on the pricing. I plan to offer a limited trial period, once I've actually launched it and it is out of development stage.

Thanks again for your encouragement. I’m excited to see Taim help you and many others!

> Er, not really. Not meaningfully. They can be freely compared with timezone-aware timestamps

Author here. My original post was a little ambiguous on this topic; I've updated it to make it clearer.

The tl;dr is that in Python, `time.time()` calls the c stdlib `time` function (at least in CPython), which follows the POSIX standard. It turns out that POSIX standard does _not_ mention timezones at all: https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/t...

To wit, you can't actually assume that timestamps are UTC in Python, which is a different kind of insanity:

```
datetime.datetime.utcnow().replace(tzinfo=pytz.timezone("America/Toronto")).timestamp()
```

differs materially from

```
datetime.datetime.utcnow().timestamp()
```

One important feature for me was a good API for generating reports, so that I can integrate it with my custom client dashboard. I ultimately decided on Clockify because I found their API to be easiest to use.

Consumers often don't make rational well informed choices though; the nuance that alcohol based mouthwashes both dry the mouth -- and, possibly correlated -- that this study show, leads to proliferation of bad bacteria biomes should be able to at least lead to removal from the recommendations from the American Dental Association.

In regards to benefits, peroxide based mouthwashes do have similar lysing effect but less drying effect - and this has been known for ~ a decade; and fluoride mouthwashes should actually activate the salivary glands, in addition to lysing. But, one could speculate that peroxide based mouthwashes would have a similar result to alcohol based in this study based on what we know about wound care (that peroxides kill both the bad and good bacteria)

Some subjects are necessary building blocks to more sophisticated tasks. The AI can teach the building blocks and leave the task of building to us.

Coding, for example, is just a small subset of the tasks necessary for software engineering, which in turn is a small subset of the tasks necessary for SaaS company.

We can break down human endeavors into subjects that are "AI teachable" and without ever needing the AI to be able to use them in a sophisticated fashion.

We already do it like this, but with humans.
Which was the question the original comment was about - even though they used "we" to refer to Apple, were the actual writer(s) around back then?

It's an interesting question to me because their tone is speaking from experience but is it the authors experience or Apple?

I care a lot more if it's the actual author, a human, over Apple, a brainless corporation.
It's also not as if smart lamps have brains, as if "we use cookies" is about cookies (it's about agreeing to 178 privacy policies using localStorage and canvas fingerprinting unapologetically), as if cloud computing runs in the sky (ironically, in said clouds, you often can't use those services properly), as if a home button have something to do with your house, and so on and so forth.

Why would any consumer expects a computer term to be literally what it says, rather than being like the real-world thing they're named after

Naming things may be hard, but in addition, this isn't even a bad name.

Communication and organizational abilities > development methodologies.

Dysfunctional organizations will not be saved by Agile. It seems to be a common theme that Agile has become like violence: If it ain't working, you aren't using enough of it/using it right.

Meanwhile, organizations that have excellent communication and are well organized would more than likely produce quality software regardless of the development methodology.

Their first planned product is an online course for building a "Storyteller" LLM, explicitly stating that the course will take some time to build and that there is no timeline on when it will launch [1]. The company page states that their vision merely "feels tractable", and concedes that they might not be successful [2]. There is a lack of arguments regarding how they can bring any substantial advancements over current generative AI tech. At present this all looks rather underwhelming, with a substantial dose of wishful thinking.

My favorite is his 2015 review of Señor Frogs in Times Square: https://www.nytimes.com/2015/12/30/dining/senor-frogs-review...

> it’s obvious that the devices will get better, lighter and cheaper, but much less obvious whether that’s enough. How many people will care?

I don't know the answer to that question, but I certainly won't care. I am not in any of the demographic groups that can currently get value from it.

VR/AR is a thing that covers several niche use cases very well, but it's hard to see how it would be useful enough generally that it would become a common consumer item.

I could see it becoming popular amongst gamers, and its utility in specific things like industrial use are pretty clear, but most people aren't gamers, and most people don't need to do industrial sorts of things in their daily lives.

I don't see it taking the role of smartphones in most people's lives even if the gear becomes no more onerous than a pair of glasses for a number of reasons, but if the tech does reach that point, I could see a large minority of people swapping to them.

But who knows? What I'm very confident about is that this won't be a mainstream thing for a nontrivial number of years.

>Your claim is ridiculous and doesn’t stand up to even a modicum of scrutiny. Unless you know of reason for believing that Apple is secretly spy on their customers, but only doing in the most convoluted way possible?

Even if it doesn't happen today, there is a realistic, technical possibility that the data flow could be exploited tomorrow. If the infrastructure is already there, and future incentives are found, what prevents the infrastructure from being exploited in the backend?

It is an easely exploitable system, and that's worth discussing and be conserned about.

But still, you bring up a good point. This is relatively convoluted to other ways Apple could harvest data if they wanted to. In fact, they already are harvesting much more data than unencrypted HTTP content by pushing iCloud onto its users.

Even if this was an attampt by Apple to gain good will, it has serious flaws, and Apple isn't generally a trustworthy company, and the jurestiction it operates under is not trustworthy either.

This feature is being sold as a strong privacy tool, and it's beneficial to discuss its flaws in isolation.

A single data point like that should never be considered anything close to "absolute proof" of anything - because you have absolutely no way of knowing that, for whatever reason (random chance, or the food you were eating at the time, or a compliment somebody paid you on the day you started taking them, or....), you might have felt better on those first days even if you hadn't started taking antidepressants at all.

What is wrong with "Roger" and "Wilco"?

These are shorter. And remind me of the voice chat program Roger Wilco too.
It's not odd to me at all. The most "academically inclined" (although I don't think that's just one type of person) are people who have the ability to help themselves with very little advice from others. We shouldn't be going out of our way to provide anything for them; we should provide all levels of materials for everyone. It's the stupid people who need to be coaxed and trained to use them, whereas for the smart people, it's enough to make them available and give them advice when they ask.

Teachers like gifted kids because they'll be successful no matter what they do, and the teachers can test out all of their dingbat social and pedagogical theories with no consequences. They can start with elite kids, finish with elite kids, yet somehow take the credit. Not impressed. Make dumb kids smart, then I'm impressed. You might even be holding back the smart kids, but they're probably smart enough to see through you and do well anyway.

That being said, there are some people who are motivated to learn entirely by the desire to impress teachers and other authority figures. They need attention to develop. However, I do not think that most people are like this, and I honestly think those people should be in therapy.
From experience in payments/spending forecasting, I've found that deep learning generally underperform gradient-boosted tree models. Deep learning models tend to be good at learning seasonality but do not handle complex trends or shocks very well. Economic/financial data tends to have straightforward seasonality with complex trends, so deep learning tends to do quite poorly.

I do agree with this paper - all of the good deep learning time series architectures I've tried are simple extensions of MLPs or RNNs (e.g. DeepAR or N-BEATS). The transformer-based architectures I've used have been absolutely awful, especially the endless stream of transformer-based "foundational models" that are coming out these days.

Since this is days old news with lots of discussion (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40952330 and more)

the more recent development is Firefox CTO posting thoughts: https://old.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/1e43w7v/a_word_abo...

(https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40971247)
With a zip file and Safari, the experience is this:

1. Click download on website

2. App appears in your Downloads folder (automatically unzipped and with the original zip file removed).

For new users, that's definitely more intuitive than a disk image because you never have to interact with an intermediate format. You just download the app.

You do probably still have to understand the concept that apps are like files and can be located in folders. Alternatively, you can launch the app via Spotlight. But if you try to launch the app from the downloads list, it will work, only to stop working in the future once the downloads list clears. Or if you try to use Mission Control, the app just won't show up there unless you move it to /Applications.

This is more complicated than the App Store. But it's still simpler than disk images, where you still have to understand all of that, but also have to understand the idea of disk images being mounted and ejected. Sure, Mac users who once used software distributed on physical disks may have an easier time with disk images, but most software has not been distributed that way for a very long time.

Other browsers and operating systems make zip files more complicated.

In Chrome on macOS, you have to double-click the zip file to unzip it. At that point you have the app in your Downloads folder, but the original zip file is also still there, so you have to manually discard it or leave it as clutter.

In Windows, double-clicking a zip file makes Windows Explorer enter into the zip file, similar to disk images on macOS but without the mounting aspect. If you then try to double-click an exe file, you'll get a dialog that prompts you to "Extract all" or "Run", and recommends that you extract all. "Run" will extract just the selected file to a temporary directory and run it, which will often not work, explaining the recommendation. It works well enough, but the fact that a zip file acts like a folder in some ways but not others, and the existence of the semi-useless "Run" option, arguably creates a confusing mental model.
Why is this considered "worsening"? Seems like a harmless phenomenon (even though it does indicate climate change's progression) that actually looks quite beautiful!

Google has their topics API: https://developer.chrome.com/blog/new-in-chrome-115/#topics-...

Don't get me wrong, I hate that they had to make these concessions, but what was their choice? If they did not give something (while giving users the ability to opt out) we would have seen browsers being blocked (and no way Google was going to not do something given their entire business is ads, so they could just keep saying use Chrome).

It doesn't sound like that's a goal though.
Cool.

I'm a process oriented learner. While I can read any fact or trivia and retain it with no effort, things that require steps I only really learn by repeatedly doing them. So if there's an AI, for example, that can create problem sets for me to do with something that I am attempting to learn, and then explain to me the steps after I've attempted to find the solution, then I am more likely to retain that knowledge in the long run.

This would have been especially beneficial to me in my college statistics class, for example, where I had a prof who was... not much of an educator.
Maybe I'm naive but I was expecting something tax or regulation related.
I feel like restaurants really have an unfair advantage there as far as flavor goes. Whenever I try to make something following a recipe, I balk at the amount of butter/sugar/oils/salt and cut way down or leave them out entirely, with predictable results. With a restaurant this is completely abstracted away so it's easier to get past.
The author literally described how women food writers keep their health while writing food columns - they taste the dishes but don't eat the whole plate. He doesn't say this makes women worse food writers at all.
