agreed. It's interesting that Go has a lot of the ground work set up (built-in prod server, etc.) but no framework has really taken off. And the dev productivity when compared to something like Django is painfully slow...
Your rope climber sounds troubled. I'm not sure the analogy holds.

If the rope climber is the same person who purchased the rope, then they get a Darwin award!

Otherwise need more detail: is the rope on loan? What's the licensing structure of the rope? Is the license still attached to the rope somehow?
I think an under appreciated part of their most is that people hate logging in to things and making new accounts.

I know there have been times where I see a product is a little cheaper on the actual brand website but I decide to just order with Amazon rather than creating an account to place a single order on the other site.

I tell myself that it’s about privacy and minimizing exposure to future breaches, but really it’s just that I don’t want to go through the whole create a password/enter your card and address/wait for marketing emails you need to unsubscribe from loop
The proposal would explicitly treat supported type annotation syntax as comments in the grammar. It is definitely types as comments, even if it is also type erasure.

And it would apply to Flow’s type annotation syntax which is also not presently treated as comments, at least for the very large subset of that syntax which overlaps with the proposal.

You were young and not working. The world was full of new frontiers and possibilities.

Young people today are on Minecraft, Roblox, VRchat, Discord, and YouTube. That's their frontier internet, and they probably feel the same way about it as you do.

A Geocities website, phpBB or EZBoard, webring, Xanga, and AIM/IRC has a similar analogues today. The pieces just have different names and shapes.
> I feel the blame mostly falls on Anthropic not being considerate when they scrape other people's content.

That's certainly a fair assumption. I haven't looked into it in any detail. Is IFixit sending appropriate cache headers or is Anthropic just ignoring them? I don't know. But at some point, your caching strategy and your ability to respond to spikes in demand is your own problem. We live in reality, and in reality you can't really control who is hitting your website when. Sure, it would be nice if they respected your cache control policies, but what are you doing when you know they won't? I'll refer back to my previous statement. It's totally understandable when someone who didn't expect ever HN levels of attentions to be overwhelmed. But if you're a site as large and respected as IFixit, you've got to do better than the "unwashed masses".

Suppose this is true for a moment, where your system has better performance than Kafka or RabbitMQ.

Why would someone be interested in using your system, and give up the ecosystem, operational knowledge, and known pain points of those systems, in exchange for your system?

Performance is not the be-all-end-all.
This is a similar problem to what was observed in Diffusion models going "MAD" when trained on synthetic data. https://arxiv.org/abs/2307.01850 . Therefore, going forward AI companies will find it increasingly difficult to get their data by scraping the. web, because web will be full of synthetically generated data.
100% agree. Coming from Java I really wanted an Enum type, but string literals/discriminated unions fill that niche just fine.

Thats a very specific property of git, stemming from its distributed nature. Allowing one to push the history of a repo fetched from elsewhere.

The receiver of the push is still considered an application server in this case. Whether or not GitHub solves this with a proxy or by reimplementing the git protocol and solve it in process is an internal detail on their end. GitHub is still “the application”. Other git forges do this type of auth in the same process without any proxies, Gitlab or Gerrit for example, open source and self hosted, making this easy to confirm.

In fact, for such a hypothetical proxy to be able to solve this scenario, the proxy must have an implementation of git itself. How else would it know how to extract the commiter email and cross check that it matches the logged in users email?

An application almost always has the best view of what a resource is, the permissions set on it and it almost always has awareness of “who” is acting upon said resource.

As someone who moved from pure iOS development to cross-platform iOS+Android development in C# with native UIs – big nope! Android development is a mess, it takes at least twice as long to build exactly the same UIs as on iOS, and there are endless edge cases between versions and also hostile API, such as not allowing a developer to know when a software keyboard appears/disappears. It was especially frustrating at the start, but has not become much easier with experience.
Every country should do this.
I'd challenge you to attack it logically on it's merits. I think parent poster is obvipusly right, civilization exists on a precipice at all times. The natural state of the universe is toward entropy.

That's not to say we can't make it better, just that we should have no illusions about its stability.
smart-home stuff was always a bit „off“ to me and. Why would I want to control light by voice? It’s much better to do this by motion detection. Same for shutters: time + light detection is much better than saying anything. I want the smart-home to automatically do stuff not just a different „switch“
"types as comments" is the term that the champions and reviewers of this proposal have been using.

It refers to how the types are parsed: aside from some kind of standard start and end delimiters, the parser does not try to parse the expression-level type syntax. Type expressions are just strings of characters. This way you can have basically any syntax at all for types.
The problem is that it wont be fair evaluation, regardless of a human or computer adjudicator
We have currently implemented both push and pull models, along with disk storage, and we provide services internally through gRPC. Our goal now is to offer these services externally. However, one downside of message queues is the fragmentation of protocols, which results in high migration costs for users. My motivation is quite simple: to leverage existing ecosystems while providing a better implementation for users and reducing migration costs (similar to how Redpanda partially implements the Kafka protocol). Currently, our implementation is in C++ and Rust, but the protocol layer can be in other languages. We have an advantage in throughput and have also implemented features like priority queues that Kafka doesn't have.

The AMQP protocol is quite complete (and allows for some customization), but I am not very familiar with the details of the Kafka protocol. I've heard it changes frequently, and I'm concerned that this might affect the implementation.

Now that I've thought about for a bit it was Compose I had that issue with.

I really just wish the Android group would get over their apparent disdain for native code and just let me write my app in C++ without having to deal with JNI BS.
I think the labels could be much, much worse. They could contain straight noise, just completely random text - not even words. They could also contain plausible, factual text which otherwise has no relationship with the text.

I think most commonly image datasets like this consist of images and their captions, with the presumption that the content author had _some_ reason of associating the two. The goal of the model is to learn that association. And with a _lot_ of examples, to learn nuanced representations.

In the third image, for example, we see some kind of text on a material. The caption mentions "Every year he rides for someone we know, touched by cancer". Perhaps the model is fed another example of bicycle races, with similar imagery of racing bibs. Perhaps its fed another of a race that specifically mentions it's a charity ride to raise money for cancer. Perhaps....

You get the idea. Alone, each example provides only vague connections between the image and the caption. But when you have a ton of data it becomes easier to separate noise from a weak signal.
As long as everyone treats each other as a p zombie then yes that’s true
> Monopolies are entirely consistent with free market economics

Not in the least. Literally in the first semester, Economics 101 type class that any business/economics/etc student would take, it would be covered clearly that monopolies are violations of free markets.

A free market isn't a euphemism for anarchy or "no rules", it's a specific economic term. The things it is free of include artificial price floors or ceilings, barriers to entry, anti-competitive practices, etc. In other words, monopolies, oligopolies, cartels, monopsonies, etc are all violations of a free market. You do not have a free market if there is a monopoly supplier.
Wouldn't it be better if they tried to make gold?
> We believe in something that we will now proceed to violate.

I will never take a statement given by a company that blatantly lies like this at face value going forward. What a bunch of clowns.
I offer some features that they have partially or don't have at all (such as priority queues and label filtering). The reason I raised this question is that I hope to reuse their protocol layers to reduce the burden on people during the migration process. I believe others with similar motivations exist as well (including cloud providers offering Kafka/RabbitMQ, whose internal implementations are not necessarily Kafka/RabbitMQ).

Employers are often disconnected from reality and don’t care about what customers feel. They think they have a great idea and implement it anyway.
Yeah I start projects by explicitly typing `any` all over the place and gradually refining things, so every type that's specified is explicit and checked, I'm really enjoying that style.
Oh don’t get me wrong, Namibia is relatively safe, beautiful, and the people are wonderful so it’s great place to visit especially if you follow the Okavango into Botswana at the same time.

Thematically related is the music of The Caretaker. It's haunting and beautiful and quite memorable. Check out An Empty Bliss Beyond This World[0], which is kind of a nice album for some melancholy reflection on age and the experience of dementia. His final 6-album sequence, Everywhere At The End Of Time[1], is less accessible, particularly the final 3 albums which are mostly noise (the whole 6-hour work was a terrifying listening challenge on TikTok a few years ago).

IE failed because they tried to define the standard as themselves. i argue we’re witnessing that again from the same company that only gave up that strategy once they had typescript, github, npm locked in.

i’m not bullish on political strategies being technical solutions, which is the premise.

typescript has nothing to do with internet explorer, true, but is it really not obvious that it is the same tactic as a different brand? become the standard, steer the committee.

and broken in that copying code between systems requires compatibility between configurations, which should be a red flag for any language.
It was certainly more decentralized, less corporate, and a lot messier.
It’s a slog to do the “which one of these is least a ripoff” calculation, at the grocery store or online.

I try to do the calculation nonetheless. But every time I just need to buy some ordinary staple, I’m up against the Relentless Spirit of Pure Deception, who attempts an ever evolving and always brand new form of trickery, at every engagement.

Sometimes, I simply make the $1.00 donation to P&G or whoever just to avoid having to think of strategies to outsmart. This too feels terrible and exhausting in a different way.
Truffle is practically famous for clickbait like this. They have a YouTube channel full of it. Their behavior in the security industry steered us far away from them as a vendor.
It sucks for Namibia, but I think it’s logical since there are probably way more people in Namibia wanting to visit Canada than people in Canada wanting to visit Namibia.

I remember a story from many years ago where an Indian coworker was complaining that his parents tourist visa to the US got denied again. I thought this was really unjust and I was commiserating with him about why the US would even care. He said “because people come over on a tourist visa from India and never leave.” I said that was ridiculous because it’s limiting tourism and he said “No, that’s exactly what I’m going to do. They’re 75 so they’ll just stay here the rest of their lives. Customs will never actually do anything.”

I think of that every time I read stories like this.
It’s the legal and social infrastructure we all tacitly support.

I’m not necessarily mad at anyone for that, but at a certain point it seems like we keep coming back to the same things.

And for the record, while I am read in Marx, I’m more of a Proudhon fellow, I think worth making that distinction.
My previous [0] points to [0] I just used the HN link instead.

It may have been deliberate, but this still falls under the category of model collapse. Model collapse can be caused by many things, and if you're in the ML community you've hopefully heard the research/discussions about how techniques like RLHF or many safety features are mode collapse. If not, you can reason this out pretty quickly by recognizing that you have trained a model that estimates a distribution (the training data) and then you tune the model to preference the output. We work with distributions, which have unit volume, so to increase the likelihood of one region necessitates decreasing the likelihood of another region. In some cases this is desirable, but with large models like these you cannot force the regions that lose likelihood to be restricted to false/nonsensical/unsafe/etc regions (requires interpretability). You just do your best and hope. Added complexity depending on the distributions you use or estimate.

If you don't believe me, read the comments to the thread. That's actually why I linked the HN comments. Here, I'll save you the work of clicking the link

You might have missed this. I'm expecting this technology is going to have impact beyond Japan so I specifically mentioned the US. If you want to keep on talking about Japan and not broader impact that's up to you.

Employers are allowed to run their own empiricism. This is no different than people being expected to dress as Donald Duck in Florida, except dressing as Donald Duck is likely much more awful work.

And if you think employers are disconnected then having less data is only going to worsen the situation. That's going to lend to more business superstition.

Coming from iOS development, it was incredibly frustrating not to have an event for software keyboard appearance/disappearance. I tried researching the issue and ended up in Google Groups, where an official Google representative was smugly telling the developers that they did not need such a feature to make Android apps.
Am I the only one who finds this conceptually confusing?

JavaScript is a terrible programming language.

Wait, talking about how JavaScript is a terrible programming language is pointlessly biased - we need to also talk about how Python is a terrible programming language. Everyone always seems to complain about JavaScript, but no one ever talks about how terrible pip is as a system for managing dependencies, or how the 2.x to 3.x migration was terrible implemented.

I think discussing how terrible JavaScript is pointlessly biased. Why focus specifically on JavaScript?

Bad logic right there. You can have a conversation about one topic, by itself - you don't need to bring in adjacent, yet not entirely relevant, topics in order to justify the first one.
I agree with this sentiment. I built and led a "Product Design Team" of about 50, and there were no mockup designers on my team. Either the designers can write some code,, or they can design directly in HTML/CSS. The mockup designers work with the team, and I encourage them to understand the limitations and power of the engineering team. I found that many designers end up short at the "mockups to impress the client" stage and are more artistic than being designers.

Any styles/CSS generated by a visual tool will always be limited to the vicinity of that particular design. But in the real world, the design of an entire website/app/platform should be a cohesive network of patterns and consistencies in the whole ecosystem - this is why understanding and designing in HTML/CSS finally makes more sense.

Yes, the standalone designers will be there, but they will always be disabled and limited unless they, at least, learn how the whole thing fits in, and their designs are just the pieces that fit elsewhere in entirely different ways.

I'm lucky to have been able to play the role of a designer, a developer, and business-sy sales pitching to customers and closing the loop by answering questions from all personas. This also did left me being more of a generalist and not a specialist.

Figma and other tools, however good they become, will always be that prototyping tool for playground before the actual work starts.

I wanted to buy some stuff from Walmart when they had a really good online sale, and Amex pays for the Walmart version of Amazon Prime. I don’t travel an awful lot, but get $200/yr in Southwest credits, so WiFi and drinks are basically always free for me.

I’ve signed up for a couple of things I wouldn’t have otherwise, but mostly I get reimbursed for things I was using anyway.

PSA Japanese people would find this as weird as anyone else would, if not more so since Japanese people often make efforts to avoid being recorded and photographed.

That said I tried searching in Japanese for news coverage about this but the only things I found were the PR Times press release from Aeon, and an article based off of it from IT Media republished by a few no-name news blogs. So I guess the Japanese reception has been that of general disinterest.
Before that there was the closure compiler (Google) which had type annotations in comments.
The annotation syntax in comments was a little clunky but overall that project was ahead of it's time.
Now I believe even inside google that has been transpiled to typescript (or typescript is being transpiled to closure, I can't remember which - the point is that the typescript interface is what people are using for new code).
>I don't ask someone how many r's there are in strawberry by spelling out strawberry, I just say the word.

You don't ask a human being how many r's there are in strawberry at all. The only reason you or anyone else asks that question is because it's an interesting quirk of how LLMs work that they struggle to answer it in that format. It's like an alien repeatedly showing humans an optical illusion that relies on the existence of our (literal) blind spot and using it as evidence of our supposed lack of intelligence.
