How I Select Which Ideas to Build: A Personal Approach
I don't think we need to do it for every number. Account number, for example, could still be HTML. Balance could be converted, though.

The harder we make it for scammers, the worse it is for them. I'm not claiming this is fool proof - scammers might be able to generate a png on the fly and inject that as the image like solrdev mentioned in another comment. They would still need to match background colors or possibly jump through some other hoops. The more work we make them do, the more likely the are to mess up. It also makes it more obvious to the person being scammed.

In terms of deleting the image and inserting text instead, I've tried it and it's hard to make it look good quickly. You also see instant feedback of the missing element and then the text coming in. It's a cue that something isn't quite right.
Corrective comments mean nothing specifically in the case where the author has no interest in correcting their behavior in the future. I realize may fall into this case, but it isn't universal. Some people seek to improve their grammar and avoid mistakes. Pointing them out doesn't have to be viewed as an attack.

Alternative responses are as simple as "thanks" or "you are correct, of course"
The problem is that you cannot unteach it serving that shit. It's not like there is file you can delete. "It's a model, that's what it has learned..."
They do adjust for area wealth / deprivation etc. Even then I wonder if the "UV radiation" is just proxy for living up North and in cities, both of which lead to less solar irradiation and generally poorer health outcomes. E.g. healthcare coverage, unemployment, access to education etc. all get worse along a north-south axis.
Right but Access is outdated. Microsoft tried to make a web version of Access, but gave up. Now they recommend Power Apps but it’s support for databases is pretty weak.

I do create and publish content, I just haven't drunk the kool-aid that makes me think I'm entitled to a set amount of money for every copy consumed.

If people want to pay for it they will, and if they don't they won't. If I don't have enough talent to make a lot of money from my work, then that's the only reason - not piracy.

It’s hilarious seeing people getting LLMs to traditional takes traditional discrete algorithms do perfectly already. “Let’s use LLM to do basic arithmetic!” Like, that’s not what they are built for. We want more generalization… So much to unpack here and I’m tired of having to explain these basic things. You will know our models got more powerful if they can do something like solve the ARC challenge, not cramming it with new updated information we know it will already process a certain way…

Sadly you’re right. Listen to Jeff Mills’ “The Bells” where early on during the bar he tweaks the open high hat. Even though it’s a sample, somehow I’ve never heard that slur replicated digitally.

And that’s another example - I really like the TR8(s) but once I got NAVA I was blown away at the sound - I wouldn’t doubt it’s also something to do with the DACs
I don’t really mind paying for SSO. It’s fine. But I hate that it’s the one feature in the “enterprise” tier that I need, and now I have to talk to a sales rep and sign a contract. You could have just charged me more per seat and it would have been better for both of us. Instead I looked for another vendor that didn’t let their sales team convince them to let the AEs gatekeep a basic feature.

Perhaps there is no license that makes sense because licenses on ideas do not make sense. You simply cannot define them logically from natural principles without having to concede that they are intellectual slavery. Ideas on licenses have never made sense and never will.
Just FWIW, if you need a supply of sudoku puzzles, the wonderful Simon G. Tatham's (PuTTY author, for Windows users) Puzzles page has a lot of algorithmically-generated, guaranteed-solvable puzzles, including sudoku (called "Solo" on his page).

I'm partial to "Patterns" myself, though it definitely needs a mouse or trackpad (preferably the former).

I will admit, if I need to do some one off task and write a quick python script to do something I will likely go to Claude or something and write it. I am talking 20-40 lines. I think it's fine for that, it doesn't need a ton of context, it's easy to test, easy to look at and understand, etc.

But outside of that, beyond needing to remember a certain syntax, I have found that any time I tried to use it for anything more complex I am finding myself spending more time going back and forth trying to get code that works than I would have if I had just done it myself in the first place.

If the code works, it just isn't maintainable code if you ask it to do too much. It will just remove entire functionality.

I have seen a situation of someone submitting a PR, very clearly copying a method and sticking it in AI and saying "improve this". It made changes for no good reason and when you ask the person that submitted the PR why they made the change we of course got no answer. (these were not just Linter changes)

Thats concerning, pushing code up that you can't even explain why you did something?

Like you said with the hard work, sure it can churn out code. But you need to have a complete clear picture of what that code needs to look like before you start generating or you will not like the end result.
This is years old.

No tickets nor collisions... Keep it up!

I know a bit about being forced off the road. Last time it was road rage, but typically it's unintentional.

I was responsible for IT in a hypergrowth scale-up and I don’t like this article, it misrepresents the problem. The problem is, when you are big enough to set up SSO like Okta, you have to upgrade nearly all of your subscriptions in a short time to make use of it, suddenly resulting in a huge increase in the budget. So, let’s say the business goes from X to 2X in revenue and from X to almost 2X in staff (let’s assume there’s some small increase in productivity over time). In some incredible logical twist every SaaS provider thinks that 2X increase in price is affordable, despite that the company is still burning money and the enterprise features aren’t really needed yet. 2X budget isn’t approved by CFO, cost-cutting exercise starts and price increase is matched by significant reduction in number of licenses. Did it worth it? Not sure. Volume-based pricing complimented by feature add-ons would do a good job too.

Most makers are trying to implement some form of self driving, even if it's just self parking while the owner is outside.

Isn't there already a significant attack vector ?

And the pressure is high for makers to bring more of these sooner than later, so having a more public and wider discussion on what this means on the security side is I think beneficial. Right now they're burying their head in the sand.

Driving around the bay area, it seems that 90% of traffic is caused by shared onramp-offramp lanes, or insufficient distance between them.

Many highways otherwise would have much more capacity. The telltale sign of exit issues is highways that bog down to 15mph for a couple miles, only to open up to 60+ with the same number of lanes.

Total shame and often unnecessary. I wonder how many man-years are wasted as a result.
Some conventions transcend platforms. The aforementioned greying-out, for example. And sure, we have to try something for it to become a standard. But in the end the standards percolate up because they're intuitive. The controversy over some of these "toasts" shows that they don't meet that bar.

And you are right in that the Growl-style notifications in Mac OS are standard now... but those are different from the ones in question here because they are not related to a control that the user was just manipulating. They could come from anywhere at any time, and thus they must be presented in a location independent of whatever the user is doing.

The Growl-style notifications work well because they're near the top of the screen, too. Users are used to status and information in menu bars and so forth, in accordance with the general top-down convention of presenting information.

Thinking it through, I did actually implement a "toast"-style alert for asynchronous issues in one application. It was at the top of the screen, though. I originally put it in there strictly for debugging, but I think I might have left it in the release. So I'm not entirely opposed to the idea, but mainly its placement in the examples discussed here.
Good, maybe now we can focus on building killer apps rather than hype-posturing.

Functional programming is more intuitive for many pure data transformation tasks.

It's not more intuitive for the entire system.

When you make a new file in a file system, you're already violating functional programming, even if you atomically create that file with all the content specified, and make it immutable.

You must construct a new file system which is like the old one, but with that file, and then have the entire system tail call into a world where you pass that new file system as a parameter, so that the old one is not known (garbage).

Unix has been the most successful system in getting partial functional programming into ordinary people's hands.

A Unix pipeline like < source-file | command | command | ... | command > dest-file is functional except for the part where dest-file is clobbered. Or at least can be functional. The commands can have arguments that are imperative programs (e.g. awk) but the effects are contained.

In the famous duel between Doug McIlroy and Knuth in solving a problem, in which McIlroy wrote a concise Unix script combining a few tools, McIlroy's solution can be identified as functional:

tr -cs A-Za-z '\n' |
tr A-Z a-z |
sort |
uniq -c |
sort -rn |
sed ${1}q

Nowhere is there any goto statement or assignment.

> They are not similar at all, except that they might overlap.

(Well, which is it?)

Perhaps I was misled by the intro to the article, that wished for something like Rust's iterators: generic data-source-neutral map/filter/zip/etc utilities, static dispatch, extensible. Srfi-42, Racket's for/* system, and your goof-loop all seem to fit the bill. Obviously the article ended up at a dynamically dispatched system, like -171, but to start with it didn't seem like it had to have headed in that direction.

> Srfi-42 is couple of loop macros.

This is decidedly ungenerous, especially given its historical relationship to Barzilay's work and descendants.

The difference is that it was a one-and-done thing rather than leapfrogging back and forth as it sounds like `theluketaylor` was describing.

And yes, the drivers would coordinate. (I've sometimes seen it done with a brief honk for attention followed by a hand wave.)
This is the same way all airlines in the world work since the invention of Revenue/Yield Management. Which is basically price discrimination to get the biggest piece of the value.

Airlines will mostly segment client based on things like Minimum Stay (in destination) and how many days before the flight the ticket was bought to find the most desired of all users: The business traveler.

SSO is (roughly) the same thing, companies who would like SSO are probably the ones in the corporate level, and this is an efficient way to find them. Of course there are false positives, but software companies are willing to live with those to get the biggest part of the pie.

And this is actually good for users, as it allows for the other users who have more flexibility to pay a lot less (both at airlines and software) than they would pay if those companies didn't discriminate.
That is correct. All the (recent) freeways I experienced in TX were designed to go ~75 mph as a normal speed, even interchanges/overpasses, except the actual turn. Even then the turns on the cloverleaves were capable of a much higher speed than other places.
>> I don't think the average voter understand how bad it really is.

Unless you're in academia, you'd have no idea. I spent a few years in academia while pursuing my Masters. Dropped out for various reasons and never had any idea this was such a huge thing - mainly because as a university student, you just always had access.

I got a small glimpse when I got a job a few years later working for a rather large legal publisher and how locked down they kept all of their online materials for anybody outside of academics. Its when I really understood there was a massive war raging about access to this stuff and the publishers trying to eek out every penny from granting access to materials and research that should have been just in the public domain. I didn't stay there long and had almost forgotten about all that stuff until 2011 when it broke into the news cycle again.

You're 100% right, this should really be a much larger issue and covered more regularly, it has massive implications on research and copyrights. Remember how long the issues of Napster and piracy have been in the media for so long (there was just another HN topic this week), but this? Not much is ever really talked about it - it just seems to linger in the shadows, which is depressing.

Maybe I'm an outlier, but I've always found the VLC GUI quite cluttered and confusing.

99% of the time I use it, I just want to play a local video file or watch a web radio stream. I don't want to create a playlist or browse my computer using a built-in media library, yet both are front and center in VLC.
It takes like 10 seconds. And you have to keep the schedule anyway - if you skip this bus stop you'll be waiting at the next one longer.

I wonder if there exist systems that measure response times, error presses etc. consistently over time for different mediums. There is huge amout of underlying behaviour to model from fact that one mistake may cause more risk in different types of ship-environment-task scenarios to the fact that probably certain variables need mapping to others, which complicates analysis little bit.

Empirical data from use is actually not sufficient for testing. For the designs, one essentially wants to subject then to high voltages, acid, sea water, high pressures, coffee et cetera in extreme amount systematically in a lab.

For complex systems like ships, it may be reasonable to even simulate what'd happen if your good component was in a ship and someone put a shit replacement part there.

Extreme non-seen-in-field testing includes extrems of the human condition. Labeling buttons with icons instead of text makes things more understandable to those who don't speak English, but what if your crew spends one and half year underwater waiting for nuclear launch command, staring at those icons? One should design interfaces such that even extreme delusions, depressive tendencies, anxiety will not reduce the crew members ability to do their job. Or if someone loses a hand, they will still be able to work.

You are so confidently wrong it's embarrassing.

Any grad student--who does the grunt work in academia--will tell you they would not be allowed to put up their research online without their lab's permission. And grad students sign a form that anything they say and write is owned as IP by university anyways.

Please look into how the academic sausage is made before spouting more misinformation as well as specious takes on spherical-cow free market theories. Your comments are all over this thread and I can't mentally unread them.
There are laws that make contract clauses illegal/unenforceable. Think right to work.
But then it wouldn't be open-source anymore, would it? Making the willingness of people to contribute likely much smaller. You don't really have the safety of having an easy way to fork either, if all you can fork is a 2-year old version (which plugins are likely not compatible with anymore).

It would also (deservedly) likely anger a large part of the existing community, especially the ones most involved, like plugin authors, who put their time in assuming their contributing to an open-source ecosystem.

Thus, I believe that ship has sailed the moment they made it open-source in the first place.
