Aider is written in Python (they have a great Discord community, btw). My experience matches yours: for Python, aider/Sonnet seems to do much better than for Javascript so far. I strongly recommend aider despite LLM limitations at the moment for anyone interested in this space.

It's also very sensitive, unsurprisingly, to development documentation that is moving quickly, e.g., most AI APIs right now. A lot of manual intervention is still required here because of out-of-date references to imports, etc.
Sounds like it's time to find an alternative to Patreon.
Perhaps but keep in mind that the UK is one of the simplest and most business/people friendly tax system in Europe and so is HMRC.

> Why is there a culture war over this?

Generated wars are playbooks in action.

Two I witnessed being being born were Net Neutrality and Muni Broadband. Both were technical debates (in response to ISP practices) for well over a decade.

Eventually, those issues started to get some traction. All over the US, parroted talking points and lobbyist-written legislation suddenly appeared from the recipients of ISP campaign funds.
I'm less worried about them supporting it with drivers/security, and more with them supporting it with new software. It will take compelling experiences for adoption to take off, and if they don't keep adding experiences....

> Unsurprisingly, however, the court found that in 2018, police could have relied on such a warrant in “good faith,” because geofence technology was novel, and police reached out to other agencies with more experience for guidance. This means that the evidence they obtained will not be suppressed in this case.

That the guy's case gets a right affirmed yet in his individual case it won't make a difference has to be a pretty bitter pill to swallow.
if I own a ecommerce in a comepetive niche and I write a script to automatically adjust my price of my competitors lower/increase the price it is not a cartel. Only if I actually make an agreement with them.
I just don't understand how the FCC can justify just giving away spectrum forever to the first person to ask.

They should instead hold an auction every decade for every bit of commercial spectrum. Winner can use it for 10 yrs. Stagger the auctions so a new chunk in each band is coming up for auction every month.

Nothing should be given away forever. Not even the 2.4 Ghz wifi band. One day there will be a better use for that band, and one bloke running his 50 year old wifi camera shouldn't be able to shut down the new use for a whole city block.
> There is no good reason to use big-endian serialization

For this particular use case of variable length integers, I think there are very good reasons.

Easier to debug because the encoding doesn’t change bytes. You encode 0x01FF45 and you will get 21 FF 45 bytes which is very human readable. Little endian will get you 2C FA 0F bytes which is completely unrecognizable in debugger, or in files on disk.

Simpler to implement. If you encode a full uint64_t you gonna get 9 encoded bytes yet computers can’t easily handle 9 bytes integers, they only go up to 8.

The implementation is more efficient because you don’t need to bit shift input numbers. Many modern processors have BZHI instruction to zero out higher bits in an integer which is faster than BEXTR instruction to extract bits.
Some systems, not all. Asymmetric power and force is available and material in such matters. If the argument is "women empowerment is in danger due to not enough children being born who will champion women empowerment," the problem statement is "how do you robustly equip women to empower and defend themselves as well as future women as structural demographics lock in a population decline?" Doesn't necessarily mean you need more people, it means you need more leverage and force projection, systemized, depending on what you're defending against. I agree we need to be mindful about how and what to build (in a world of less humans) to maintain high levels of women empowerment and self defense into the future.

Finally, we curbed the ability of the most fucked subclass of workers to edge their way towards a livable wage by mildly abusing existing systems of trust. Instead, we can now reduce them to a number and use massive data analyses to squeeze the last penny from every gig worker (or of course just straight up steal, like in the OP).

Bingo - give this guy a cigar.

The EU had a tenuous relation with Apple from the start. Apple spent the past 20-odd years manipulating Irish subsidiaries to avoid paying a dime in taxes on any of their European operations. Despite being called out on it and partially settling the back-taxes in some jurisdictions, they still owe billions to multiple EU members they haven't payed back. There's no history of love, between Apple and Europe. They conspire against Apple because Apple conspires against them.

Then Apple had to kick the hornets nest and piss off the Dutch regulators with the Tinder case. Apple forfeit quickly but it set the stage for everyone else joining in on the fines. This was the perfect catalyst for the DMA and the DSA, which would be copied in other countries like Japan (which coincidentally also has tax feuds with Apple).

Good luck to the shareholders They won't take kindly to the news that the Apple of their eye is a big fruit-shaped bubble.

And whose fault is that? Apple's!

Hell, Jobs originally wanted there to be no iPhone SDK, and for everyone to create webapps. Man, that would have been a better world. Initially it would have sucked, but the mobile web platform would have improved so much faster, and APIs for doing native-y things would have been complete and useful 15 years ago.
We launched a no-code ETL framework for Vector databases (Open Source)
Hi all! The team at Context Data launched an open source no-code ETL framework for Vector databases. The framework allows devs to pull data from multiple sources, embed and write final data to multiple vector database/store targets using just a yaml configuration file.

We'd love your feedback!

exactly - i missed to talk about this in the post. I think using IF NOT EXISTS can be a sign of a higher degree issue as well. Being more mindful can help.
> Actually no they won't due to parity reasons!

Can you elaborate? I think I can construct some boards that effectively have complete rotational symmetry.

For the purposes of the game, black can be thought of as another white card (since you will never reveal it in the middle of a round), and the double agent can be placed in the center. Then, you just need to place the remaining categories with rotational symmetry (e.g. red on the two main diagonals, and blue on the squares directly clockwise from those). So, for instance:

RBwwR
wRBRB
wBdBw
BRBRw
RwwBR

(w)hite and (d)ouble-agent are in lowercase; feel free to replace any single white square with blAck (Assassin).
I think other languages cause folks to understand JSON responses as a big bag of keys and values, which have many convenient ways of being represented in those languages. When you get to Go and you want to parse a JSON response, it has to be a well-defined thing that you understand ahead of time, but I also think you adapt when doing this more than once in Go.
Then you should get the option to pay a 30% surcharge for that privilege.

Others can choose to use virtual credit cards that come for free (or cheap) from their bank or privacy.com for that purpose.
I know for awhile Netflix had this weird thing where you called a phone number and they would direct you to the Netflix website to sign up.

It's not having their own billing system, but allowing purchases to be made in-app that triggers the requirement. Which as far as I can tell, Netflix does not allow. I just checked and I can't change my plan in the app.
Well pretty sure we know how to fix that. Go have some kids! Seriously folks need to breed more. You wanna spread your ideals? Have a family. Wanna sway politics in the long run to your ideals? Tell your kids to have big families too. Religions have been doing this for yonks. It's not rocket science. It strikes me as absurd the academic class hasn't worked this out.
Where did you read that? I worked at Patreon from 2018-2021 and per creation was a much smaller group than recurring during that time at least. (Think per creation was even disabled as an option for new sign-ups for a while.)
> The challenge (as always) is accessibility and discoverability.

And that's the challenge that actually matters, and is more or less insurmountable on iOS.
Handyman here. I think maybe you just explained a thing that's confused and confounded me for decades now. That innate difference between myself and my clients that I never really grasped: I can live with screwing something up myself because I can always go back and get it right the 2nd time. I absolutely cannot abide paying someone else good money to produce anything other than stellar results, and I loathe paying anyone to do anything I know I can do myself.
SF city officials are looking to cast blame to anyone and everyone in their grasp -- including private equity companies, operating and innovating legally in the market. It has been shown that the software offering improves tenant lives by making it easier and faster than ever before to manage their rental experience. This innovative and game-changing software has been further enhanced with the use of AI, giving users more power and flexibility than ever before.
I don't think that's accurate. These vector instructions are defined (by the vendor) and were intended to be accessible; the problem is that they have unexpected and insecure behavior.
I am one of those people that have trouble with this idea.

Can you elaborate the ways that it is useful for some people?

The best I can steelman is the general idea that human minds have a "religion-shaped hole" in our understanding of our environment, and astrology fills that hole in a mostly-harmless way. I don't love this perspective, though, and I'm wondering if you have something else in mind.
I lived in a pretty small, rural area and my dad loved to drive. Everything he saw could trigger some kind of story. Plus there were random stops for ice cream which was awesome.

With my kids (who are in college now), there's no way they are going to sit around while I try to fix the sink. If I want to spend time with them, I have to give some consideration to their preferences.

I'm a bit confused, UPS didn't end up using spectrum it asked for in 1977 to build radio relay stations in 1988, so in 2024, we should take old TV channels and reallocate them to UPS? NextNav?
Young people feel they are not in a hurry, and a lot of self-esteem and confidence issues (especially now that their life is by-default semi-public on Instagram/etc.)

This pushes them toward casual things much more, and away from commitments (especially in places where it can complicate things, like at work). So only those couples get together at work that already have a very high "cohesion".
Better get hitched and have some kids then! No point crying about it when the solutions simple!

I don’t exactly remember how it went but ~5 years ago Goodnotes 5 came out and they offered a “bundle” of Goodnotes 4 and 5 together at the same price of Goodnotes 5. Maybe owners of version 4 had some kind of discount on the bundle because they already owned half of it?
There are no manifolds at all in this discussion... What are you even talking about? Just stringing words you vaguely know together??
This is what "esoteric" as in "esoteric religion" means - although it's necessarily not intentionally hidden or shameful to explain, it can just be very hard to explain.

Like, driving a car is an esoteric modern ritual, because you can't learn how to do it by reading a book about it. You have to actually practice it or have someone show it to you.
Obviously Apple will back down here. They have enough issues with regulators. Their rules currently say any form of tipping has to use in app purchases - so I expect this rule to be changed.
That sounds incredible, is there any terminal that supports it on Linux?
Oh man, I got to "rejetting carbs" and had the momentary urge to toss a chair out a window and then dive out after it. Kudos if you'll do your own carb work, that's where I draw the line.
On my 2017 Ultrabook with only 4gb of ram, Firefox stalls repeatedly & has long stretches of being entirely unresponsive after half a dozen tabs, and gets worse from there.

I have some delay where a navigation might be delayed some, but Chrome doesn't ever lose input and generally manages to keep going.

Even on a desktop with 64GB ram, Firefox gets slow over time & needs to be restarted when I have a significant number of tabs open. Tab auto-suspend extensions generally "fix" the problem, but it's been frustrating that whatever the on-page performance is in Firefox, the app itself feels so prone to bouts of unresponsiveness.
Thanks, I was struggling to understand the discussion here.

I've bought fully into the Apple ecosystem - a bunch of iPhones, iPads, AppleTVs and Macbooks. I've also been paying a couple of creators via Patreon for the last year or two. But I hadn't even realized that there was a Patreon App. Why would you use such an App instead of the website?

And the answer seems obvious as you suggest. Direct users to the website and forget about the App?

I’ve lived in red states and blue. In New York, registering to vote is a multi-step process. In Wyoming they didn’t even check my ID. When the first one had my name misprinted, they just gave me a second. Legally speaking, a typo of my name was thus on the roles for two years.
Ask HN: How should I structure my mathematics self-teaching?
Recently (~2 months ago) I decided to start self-teaching myself mathematics again, having last formally studied it when I was only 16 (I am 30 now).

My goal is to spend a little time doing it every day, not to attain any specific qualification, only to "learn maths".

There are lots of online resources, though it's hard to know where to begin or to go. "What interests me" is difficult because I don't really know the answer yet.

I have been following some of the GCSE syllabus, effectively re-learning what I studied at school (today it was completing the square), but I'm not sure if I'll find this motivating enough.

> If there was a physical "undo" button, I could get behind this philosophy

I had two reactions to this -

The first is that's part of why I like working on low-stakes physical projects - especially when I'm working in my garden, I'm almost aggressively improvisational, just trying to use whatever's on hand to do the job and fixing things as I go. Because the garden is mine and just an absolute hobby, I get to play around, and the feeling of satisfaction I get from cobbling something together to solve a problem easily matches delivering a carefully-done plan.

The second is that undo button makes us sloppy. I noticed this the first time I went into management - the hardest part of the job was I had no idea if I'd done something right and no way to do it again if I didn't. It's made me sloppy a few other places as well, where I've found myself staring at something and thinking "well shit, there's no undo here, is there?" I think spending some time with some things that have stakes and can't be undone is healthy, and I think programming somehow makes us both sloppier and more risk-averse by its almost unbounded undo-ability.
I like the way logseq works, as it's bullet-based and you can link to individual bullets. Development seems to have lost it's way, and online options like Tana are complex and unappealing.

I finally bit the bullet and just went with Obsidian, as that's where all the community activity is. If there's a way to connect something with notes, or some cool functionality in a plugin, you'll find it with Obsidian.
> I'm just saying, it's a strawman argument to claim that Apple is doing this to "protect users".

It can absolutely be both, which is why this isn't such a cut and dry issue.
Look forward to Chinese podcast integration especially. TBH PRC podcast ecosystem is just so far ahead. There's nothing close to Ximalaya as an audio platform/economy. Podcast keeps getting bundled into music or video streaming platforms in west, when it should be combined with audiobooks, other spoken word content into it's own thing.

That's interesting, Dennou Coil is actually the first thing I thought of (and rewatched) when the Apple Vision Pro was announced. I thought that if it lived up to the hype and I wanted to build something for it, then it would be good to have some sci-fi use cases fresh in my mind.

It seems like there are several high technological barriers to surmount though. I don't expect to see that kind of AR for decades.
I think part of this is “if you have a linear algebra background”. There are a few different explanations of tensors, and different explanations make sense for different people.

Would you care to elaborate on this? Sounds like there is an interesting story here...
Please read the last paragraph of my previous comment.
1) Negative interest rates exploded prices anything eligible for mortgage. Deduction: must not buy property eligible for traditional mortgage.

2) GC and contractors exploded prices to match weak competition. Deduction: must not have someone else build house.

3) Zoning laws make small homes illegal. Deduction: must find place with weak zoning.

4) Trades licensing, codes, and inspection make DIY impossible while holding regular job. Deduction must find place without inspections or required licensing for owner builder at any point.

---------

Criteria:

Must buy raw land ineligible for mortgage, must do it in in a place with weak zoning, codes, and inspection and still be near jobs.

The loophole was totally avoiding every competitive expensive pathway and bypassing it by not competing with people fueled by free debt and not being beholden to the zoning and planning cartels. Doing that is a difficult tightrope to walk.

They did change the terms of the app store a few months ago to say they are entitled to a cut. It was a big story.

And they did change their posture now in that they started demanding the payment.

What prompted the change on the term was a decision on one of those monopoly investigations. But I can't remember if it was the US or the EU one.
