is there a way we can make a support bot or a chat-based document that is fine tuned and limit the answer to only what's in the API? Getting the users to use it is another issue but one problem at a time.
As someone who heavily uses Manim with Python, I like the idea. But I really don't want to use 'Py5' if it then has a Java dependency.
They probably run good with steams' windows emulation layer
On the bright side, its easy to mod. If you don't like whatever UI customizations or just want cheats, it's usually possible to drop in a simple .py script to fix it.
Just in case you didn't already know, the name is a play on "Ren'Ai"
How about metric system ?
It doesn't prove anything, but I consider it to be a strong anecdote supporting the argument that individual wellness is not the primary motivation for these checklists.

I can see an argument that it's about increasing average wellness across all people ever taken care of by that NICU, but from the perspective of an individual patient there's no difference between the two motivations—the point is that your own care is not the important thing to the hospital at that time, what's important is the rules and regulations.

In our case, we both felt that our care was actually actively hampered by NICU discharge rules that were designed for premature babies and were completely inappropriate for our late-term baby. The wheelchair was just the last hurrah of the situationally-inappropriate hospital regulations.
Your litmus test fails simply because John Carmack prefers Windows.
Game dev is a fun hobby some people like to mess around with, just like any other hobby. Doesn’t mean they’ll be experts or know what they’re doing, but they’ll try and probably ask some basic questions online.

I mess around in goody and game maker and can write some shitty code there, but I’ve never written a line of code for work. I just like messin around for fun
> What, the real world isn’t as fun? Is that really such a crucial issue that we need to get at? Is that even really the point? Should everything be more fun? Say the metaverse did exist. At the end of the day, you’re unplugging into the real world. It’s your real hunger, life, currency, relationships, etc. that matter. What is the metaverse then, besides just a neat little toy?

The article raises some interesting points for sure but this makes no sense. We do all kinds of fun stuff to escape the problems of the real world. This is why we have movies, books, games.

Fun things to escape life do matter and they're a huge industry that people spend ax significant amount of their money on.

The metaverse, if it materialises would make this aspect a lot better. I just don't see it happening until some core technical problems are solved. But I do see the point in it for sure.
Your saying some games run better under the windows emulation system than under windows itself?
This comment is probably right as much as I hate to admit it. Renaming at this stage wouldn’t be too hard - but I’ll give it serious thought ahead of the planned Kickstarter! Appreciate the feedback.
Yeah so every tech revolution does this right.

ATMs were meant to kill banking jobs but ah theres more jobs in banking than ever.

The Cloud was meant to automate away tech people, but all it did was create new tech jobs. A lot of which is cleaning up after idiots who think they can outsource everything to the cloud and get burned.

LLMs are no different. The "Ideas Man" can now get from 0 to 30% without approaching a person with experience. Cleaning up after him is going to be lucrative. There are already stories about businesses rehiring graphic designers they fired, because someone needs to finish and fine tune the results of the LLM.

I keep a W11 drive in my system (separate drive from my main linux system) for games and I find I haven't booted into it in months.

And I know when I do it'll take probably an hour to get all the updates out of its system. Ugh.
Without advertisements, the internet would only have content worth paying for and content people want to share for reasons other than financial gain. How awful (/s).
If a hospital becomes aware of a death, they need to let the medical examiner know. In turn, they or the medical examiner issues a death certificate, etc.

You can't just truck the body off to storage and then forget about it.

I just realized that SSDs are sorta 3 1/2" floppy size. I picture turning off the machine, and popping one out of a caddy for another.

I didn't think anyone was under the impression that Go (or Java, or many other statically-typed languages) have sound type systems. For better/worse there are often intentional and unintentional escape hatches.

Go also has an 'unsafe' package that can mess things up at runtime--don't do that and don't ignore errors.
There's a common phrase that founders should code, but not all founders are coders. So when the start up is small and the founders want to contribute by testing PoCs, the chatbots are getting used by those founders that can't code. Lucky for me, the PoC is just that and allowed to be implemented without shimming the PoC directly.

I cringe every time they mention using the bots, but luckily it has been controllable.
I agree with everything except #1; sure you could run a visual novel on the browser, but I'm not convinced it gives a better experience for multimedia than something based on e.g. SDL or Godot.
People are researching it, there is funding for it [1]. It’s a challenging thing to research.

Is it microplastics or nanoplastics or both?

How many types of plastic are there, half a dozen? What type of plastic do you want to test, what about multiple plastics in different proportions?

It can be difficult to identify mechanisms behind adverse reactions to more obvious stressors, let alone something like this which appears more chronic, long-term, and insidious.

I do 120wpm, but still copilot outpaces me, and it is not just typing, it is the little things I don't have to think about. Of course I know how to do all of it, but it still takes some mental energy to come up with algorithms and code. It takes less energy to verify what copilot output at least to me.
Your comment is a good example of what I'm saying:

The problem is not the developer, but the guy who approves everything.

A team that requires code reviews, and has a guy who approves everything, is an unhealthy team.

The developer is asking for a code review not because he wants feedback, but because it is a ritual he has to go through because of team policy. If the team policy changed to "code reviews are for feedback, not permission", then he wouldn't waste your time. He's not the problem - the team's culture/policies is. If the focus was feedback, then you would only get requests from people who want your feedback.

> I get annoyed when someone ignores my feedback

Are you annoyed that he circumvented the purpose of the code review, or that he did not act on your feedback? If the latter, I strongly urge you to change. Acting on feedback should always be optional.

Of course, making code reviews completely optional is a luxury most teams do not have. But one of the reasons they don't have that luxury is that you'll rarely get a high trust team.

Despite this, one can put mitigating protocols with mandatory code reviews to solve some of the problems you're highlighting. If all the code reviews are via Github, and someone else approves the merge when you've left strong feedback suggesting otherwise, the team really needs to have a protocol for handling such scenarios.

Hope we’ll get there with WordPress plugins. For now we (Wordfence) are paying over $30,000 per vulnerability for the top vulns.
I don't think that's actually true. US Navy and their contracting shipyards had consistently built nuclear subs in 3 year strides for decades. One set of fuel lasts is good for 1/5th century, after that the sub needs to be cut up and refueled. It's not something that take years after years of permitting and change of plans and suspected acts of arson of unknown motivation if it's literally operated by US Army or Navy(but not NASA).

Solar power is just amateures littering compared to that.
And? That span is within an individual's lifetime, which is not very long in the context of human history. As of now there's zero sign any entity with regulatory power is doing anything about microplastics.

Also, why are you trying to deliver a point without looking up most of the examples I've listed? Do you expect that to be a convincing argument?

because they need to exclude Asians and Indians who don't fit the disadvantaged criterion - which is why they're being identified in the first place.
Somehow it has hard coded something wrong - I'm so sorry I literally just tested it. Actually moving into college tomorrow but I might be able to fix it the next day. Try cloning and 'bun run cli.js' in the meantime?

My computer is not very powerful. Running games or resource-demanding programs on a virtualized Windows would be a significantly worse experience than running them on a bare-metal OS.
> You can’t do a double-blind randomized control trial.

You could on animals.
This seems cool, but I’m having difficulty understanding the specification. It would be nice if there were some examples of e.g. 2+3 , (lambda f. lambda x. (f (f x)))(lambda y. (y+2)) 3 ?
At least for now it seems more like a multiplier that wouldn't reduce the amount of work out there, possibly even increase demand in certain cases as digitisation becomes easier so projects that weren't worth to do before will be now and more complicated usecases will open up as well.

So same programmer with the same 8h of workday will be able to output more value.

VC funding redirects the company’s focus on whatever is going to drive profits in the short or medium term. This does not necessarily align with great engineering :/ It’s often a poisoned chalice.
My inquiry is why men (or women for that matter) have to be specified at all. Balls and breasts are utterly irrelevant for DIY.

I agree with the notion that the consequent socializing and sense of community that groups of DIYers could nurture is a very good thing, especially these days. Balls and breasts are irrelevant here too.
That sucks. I hope you will get to take home a healthy baby in your future.
Well, what the new shibboleth actually means is “I have expended more effort keeping up with the current vocabulary than other people. And those people are bad for not having spent that effort.” The intent is not destigmatisation but counter-stigmatisation.

ok. check. So.. the advice is maybe.. "always have your backup codes"

10% per year does add up, particularly if you don’t upgrade every year. I think if you get some decent lifetime out of your computer you have a good chance of still getting a significant speed boost when you upgrade.

I have a Ryzen 3950X and I suspect even now there’s a noticeable speed improvement at the top end, and I don’t feel like upgrading yet. That was still a big improvement over the Intel 3930K (?) I had before, even though sandy bridge was when progression started to show a slowdown.

I do think it’s perhaps easier to buy a computer with some weird bottleneck (crappy storage and the like) which will present day-to-day performance on par with your outgoing computer. Day-to-day high performance is seemingly hard to get right even if you can crunch numbers faster. Sort of a latency vs throughput problem.
> The hospital/medical care industrial complex doesn't optimize for empathy. They're just trying to get the bodies through as quickly as possible.

That must be why health care is so affordable (/s)
I read a "Teach yourself $language in 10 days" book in a weekend, and was banging code on Monday to create the first v0.1 in a week. Of course the code was absolutely horrendous, but it worked. I still have a copy of that old database that was used, and over the years, I have turned to it as I've learned new things and have even rewritten the UI a couple of times. It has helped me stay up to date with new trends as it was originally written in '99 using frames, then went to full CSS/JS, then used it to learn flex, and so on.

So, if you're solo dev'ing, you can get away with making things work with what you've learned in a week. You just wouldn't be hired by anyone else of a serious nature. So it just depends on the individual and projects being worked.
All the theories about DIY culture are interesting and maybe contribute some to the conclusion, but I think it's a lot more about material costs. Lots of things are back down from the crazy prices around COVID, but some things stayed high. A few examples I just dug through my emails for:

- 5 gal Drylok waterproofing paint went from $104 in Jan. 2020 to $143 last week
- 2x6x12' lumber: $9.57 in May 2019 to $12.22 now
- 1/2" 4x8 of drywall was $9.57 in May of '18, $13.98 now

Of course prices can be expected to go up in 5 years, but personally we've deferred a bunch of projects waiting for prices to stabilize a bit.
As a Google engineer, it's really saddening to see the Welchism completely taking over Google. There are more than enough examples showing focusing on bottomline to increase shareholder value doesn't work in the long run, but it's obvious the current leadership doesn't care.
I seriously hope those rehires are coming back with a refined rate as well.
Thank you. I had to do this for a difficult wiring project. I looked for YouTube videos on how to do it and no one seemed to have a tutorial.

Once I did it, it was clear that it’s a better option than EVERY other option when possible. An obvious approach IMO but generally undiscovered.

That was very well written, wow!

I don’t remember the last time I read that long of a blog post in one sitting!

Funny that OP brings up @levelsio and he is the latest guest on Lex Fridman
Not OP but I live in Washington state. I recently added an outlet to my closet for a vacuum cleaner charger. I watched some instructional videos and did some reading and felt I could do it safely. Technically I’m “allowed” to do this but I needed to have gotten a permit and then gotten my work inspected, at significant time and money cost to myself.

Did it anyway for the cost of the $10 outlet and an hour of time. If my house burns down because of my work and my insurance finds out they could deny me the claim. I’d be out of a lot of money.
The handwriting in fact consists of multiple "tiny black box" glyphs, similar to pixels in traditional rendering. The program takes the text (e.g., "Hello world") as input, and works out the (x, y) locations of these block boxes.
They form a tunnel mesh over that private “Sonosnet” wireless network and each player announces an internal bridge interface via STP, including over any regular wifi they’ve joined and any fixed wire network they’re connected to. That could be fine if it was contained to their private mesh, but it isn’t. Worse, they do it with pre-rSTP weights. Consequently electing their own low-bandwidth wireless mesh tunnels as a forwarding path in any nontrivial switched network. If they’re plugged into a hierarchy of unmanaged/non-STP-enabled switches, this will also form a forwarding loop. Either way, they get congested and start to flap, spewing endless topology change BPDUs, and now your network is kaput.

Despite wanting to act as an active layer 2 device there is almost no configurability, management, or monitoring available. A couple of years ago, in a spectacular product management insult, Sonos also intentionally removed much of the built-in port 1400 interface that provided device-level insight such as log messages revealing this misbehaviour.

The solution is to treat them like hostile guests and shove all Sonos players into a wholly private broadcast domain just for them, to avoid fucking up the rest of your network. And don’t let them join your regular SSIDs.

I am almost certain that there is no-one left at Sonos who understands their own network stack.

Compounding all this is a general smug attitude of “our customers are idiots” which is pervasively apparent from the CEO, through their product management, to their frontline support staff. If this fiasco tanks the company, it’s ultimately due to their own shitty, arrogant culture.
Obviously, not every support ticket requires engineering attention. I would wager at least 90% don't. In the case of B2C businesses, likely 99.99% don't, considering 80% are customers that simply need a password reset and can't figure out how to do the most basic Reset Password -> Open E-mail -> Click link -> enter new password flow.

But there's a line SOMEWHERE. The few tickets that DO need engineering time REALLY NEED IT, and it's completely asinine that in some corporations, it's impossible.

If, for example, 100 people are talking to support for the exact same crash, and people in support are able to reproduce it, it needs to go to Engineering, rather than support telling customers "Have you tried formatting your drive and reinstalling everything from scratch?" when they already know it won't fix anything.
> space since they don't have all the same restrictions as the bigger companies.

Can you give an example? Midjourney is heavily censored so it seems like it has a lot of restrictions.
This is also why stuff like blockchain-based currency will never be realistic or accepted in the "real world". We need the ability to fix things out-of-band. Like you said, people make mistakes. Imagine that your bank or credit card just says Tough Luck!

Nah. Of course not.

Only if the likelihood of guilt is beyond a reasonable doubt, which the DA may not want to try. In civil suits the bar is lower as it's only a requirement for a preponderance of evidence.

Odds are the hospital will settle this out of court for an undisclosed sum because they can't realistically have their records on the matter brought to light. Was it medical malpractice?! We'll never know.
Pretty sure Bum Farto was my player name in a bunch of 90s games.

Also possible Star Wars character.

Is this just an experiment to gauge the puerility of HN upvoters? Because you got me.
Exactly. All the person had to do was strike up some conversations in restaurants, the laundromat, whatever. "I love a neighborhood full of greenery, where should I look?" or "I love to eat out, what neighborhoods have really great restaurants?"

An AI will never be able to tell you that the "nice looking" neighborhood is full of snooty wealthy people who keep to themselves and rat you out if you do anything not up to their standards - whereas in the kinda rundown looking neighborhood everyone knows everyone, there are fun block parties on holidays, and if you need anything, people will do whatever they can to help.

Police logs don't work because police love to overpolice poor/minority neighborhoods.

Property values don't work because property values have little to do with how strong a neighborhood's community is.
Lumber prices kill nearly every DIY project I want to do. Nearly every project I want to do turns into “well, that’s not cheap. Might as well just contract it out - after I save for it”
Most apps started on the Mac, so there was no porting needed. Also, most professionals had Macs, so Adobe had a 50/50 revenue split between Macs and Windows, even though there was a huge market share difference.
This is very sad. My condolences to the family.
Reading the timeline, I can’t help but speculate that there’s a darker side to this.

Two days before “checking out”, the daughter called the mom to say she was better and was about to leave. Soon after that, something bad happens (possibly malpractice) and she dies. An autopsy would reveal the true cause of death, so the hospital quietly ships her to an off-site morgue, doesn’t even fill a death certificate, and fabricates her checking out.

Now the body is beyond decomposed and an autopsy is impossible. The hospital claims it was a simple mix-up and gets away with a bit of bad press and a negligence charge.

How could the US Government justify declaring Bum Farto dead when he only would have been in his mid 60's?

The whole story reeks of good-old-boys-club dimensions from beginning to end. He had no education, and lived a sketchily and inexplicably ostentatious life. Outcome: Drug dealer.

> Qubes is a good approach to an OS, but it's Xen security, not OS security, and I'd rather run a secure OS other than Fedora or Debian on Qubes.

Not sure what you mean by "Xen security" in contrast with "OS security". Qubes is an OS. Though a lot depends on your threat model, if you have high security needs, Qubes is likely to be your best companion.

Anyway, another reasonable choice is Kicksecure. It's the debian-based OS underlying Whonix (Kicksecure is focused on security and Whonix adds its privacy/anonymity setup on top of it). You can use Kicksecure as a VM within Qubes, by the way.

Again, that is far from the definition of "great". I would say fortunate to not have those string of triple digits, but man, it's not great at all. 100°+ is still miserable, but it's amazing how different 98° feels from 105°. I get Texas hyperbole, but even my feet are firmly planted in reality to not accept "great" in this meaning. Bless your heart! ;-)
So, someone's reputation matters when they post a video of someone else? Can you not just judge the video for yourself and seek more context if you need it?
Unfortunately the IBMs of the world have taught a lot of entrepreneurs a very valuable lesson:

Companies only pay attention to you as a customer when they think the checkbook is coming out, or going away. Big companies have different reasons, but the behavior is similar. The people who understand this start making everything sound like a quid pro quo situation even if it's not very sensible.

The more clever and slightly pessimistic entrepreneur might go so far as suggest the problematic customer talk to one of their competitors. But that sort of biological warfare really should be covered by the Geneva Convention.
I think your reasoning is sound.
