>then the seller will net about 10% higher than if they used no realtor

See this is the bit where a good Realtor makes their money... on nearly every deal I do, I am saving or making more money for my buyers and sellers over what they could either do on their own or what they would get from another Realtor. Why? Because I have a strong analytical approach to the market and I actually do my job. The typical agent waits for offers to come in and makes no effort to negotiate a better outcome for their seller. Likewise, many agents are lazy and have no idea how to advise their buyers on what to offer or how to create an overall compelling offer, IE: what are the possible levers we can use to create a competitive offer apart from cash on the barrel? It makes me cry when I see agents who don't even know what acting in their client's best interest means - but I don't blame them, I blame the public that makes no effort to interview or get to know their agent. Way easier to pick the person from your church or who you went to high school with than to actually interview and ask questions. I often wonder - does the public also act ignorantly when picking a lawyer, an accountant, a doctor, or other professionals?
Odds that it was written by the CEO himself?
Sure! I'm just disagreeing that "C is anarchy because anyone at any point can do anything". You can't do anything, Linus will eventually yell at you in an email. To me, the only philosophical difference is that Rust wants to automate Linus
Consolidated reply to you and a few others: Speaking here as an older-than-average HNer caring for an elderly parent. Not all doctors are equal, if the local is a lemon, it is usually a distance to the next one. Then, there are specialists and worst-case, hospitals. Public transit is awful in the US and not nearly reliable or safe enough for medical transport, especially of the elderly. There are senior transport vans but they require scheduling, there are restrictions on which cities they go to, and there can be delays. I don't use rideshares but I'm betting that they're not geared towards riders that need extra time and maybe help getting all the way to the door and then into the house. All added stress for the senior citizen. Ambulances are ruinously expensive. I'm extremely happy that I can drive her where she needs to go.

Being around people and being on top of them are two entirely different situations. I lived in apartments until a late age when I could afford to put down roots. They were ill built, insulated, and ventilated then and getting worse. When remote neighbors made fish, I gagged all the same. Navigating cramped parking lots, dealing with stolen packages and mail, and having the musical choices of others thrust on me? I can do without that and a lot more.

We have family members that lived in a huge SoCal apartment complex for a few years. One is in a wheelchair and the development had some mandated ADA units. Every year they had to move to a new apartment within the complex to /minimize/ the rent increase. Minimize. They tried to negotiate with the faceless corporation that said no negotiations were possible. Pay to stay or pay a little less to move. They eventually left for NorCal where they could purchase a home.

These developments are put up by, whaddya whaddya, developers. They are cheaping out on quality so the units are smaller, the walls are thinner, and the ventilation just good enough to pass. Enshittification is everywhere. And, just like the new generation of malls, any public and semi-private spaces are governed by heavy restrictions on what can be done (not much) and what can't (quite a bit).

There's a YT channel, I forget the name, that had lots of vids on "It's better in Amsterdam" because the 30-something creator could bike to his grocer and cafe. Lots of repeated clips of the same bike going down the same flat path in good weather to a shop or restaurant. I'm for livable, walkable cities but I soon had enough and blocked the guy.
rustc does not yet no, there's a lot of hope in the gcc rust frontend to help bridge the gap, but also there is increasing support in llvm for more architectures and things like this should drive interest in accelerating those projects.
I came here to mention the 1Password cli[1] which has a great DX for solving this problem since one can check in the reference to the Secret[2] and it will be resolved by anyone who has permissions to said Secret at the time of consumption

They also have a plugin system[3] that makes it work moderately seamlessly with various other CLI utilities which expect credentials in the environment, such as the `gh`[4] CLI and bazillions of others

Bagna Cauda! I went down the rabbit hole a few winters back trying to perfect that dip and it was awesome. Never "perfected" of course, but I got close enough to really enjoy the recipe. Paired well with the simple dish of olive oil packed tuna, spaghetti, heavy butter and some added capers. So good and very easy to whip up.
Can we not overload this term please? https://www.britannica.com/technology/microprogramming
"Microprogramming" is the standard term for internal microcode within a CPU. It transforms machine code instructions into sequences of operations the hardware can directly execute.
The article in this post gives a totally different meaning to this already existing and established term.
For real. It's 2024, which in my millennial mind is squarely 'the future', and I'm writing bespoke UART drivers and command parsers for a protocol that's older than I am.
Admittedly, I've tried not to document the implementation. Yeah, they're pretty much simple dirty Common Lisp macros. Internally, they're functions that are called with the arguments converted to models (via `hy.as-model`), and then the return value is converted to a model. If a macro's first parameter is named `_hy_compiler`, it gets access to the current compiler object; this is undocumented since it's only meant for internal use. Reader macros have no parameters, but can access the current reader object as `&reader`. When it's defined, a reader macro is added to the current reader's dispatch table.
No, they changed that ages ago.
:/ Only in the UK and Ireland.
You are grossly underestimating the things I will do for a client. I've shown houses on holidays, measured and filmed everything under the sun, crawled through muddy bug-filled cellars; the difference between a good agent and an average agent is even higher than the difference in 10x programmers.
Are there any European-based credit cards that have entered and competed in the American market, with it supposedly being so lucrative compared to Europe? I'd assume someone would've made that jump?
It's very probably true in the totality of "as expressed in a real build for all configurations and architectures", too much variation of behavior to have the whole map in mind at once. You can work through it potentially, and I'm sure a few come close, but others will have things top of mind that experts don't.
I feel like I rarely see anything negative about it, TBH. The last one that I remember reading was actually about decaf, due specifically to the decafeination process.
No, a v4 uuid comes from a good RNG. The blog post just said v6 by mistake when it meant v4.
Great to see this do numbers. I posted it last week but it didn't gain any traction
Not sure if serious…
Rustc lowers to LLVM IR, so it can target anything LLVM can. For a long while, that meant there were obscure architectures that were excluded, but IIRC coverage has improved and the Linux kernel has decided to drop support for them.

The main push has actually been from the BSD family pushing clang (and thus LLVM) to support a broader swath of less common architectures.
Geekbench shows the same gap in performance. Cinebench has historically favored Intel chips more than Arm.
No, you can't browse posts without being logged in.
The point is that many of the problems rust aims to solve become much less relevant. For example, if your program only does 10 Malloc and frees, you can probably track down the memory bugs.
Drinking coffee gives me pain below my right rib. Has anyone had this issue?
This is definitely giving me left-pad vibes. I wonder what the author thinks of that situation and whether it applies to this concept.
I have given up trying to view content unauthenticated

Same. I’ve accidentally made it 18 years without creating a Twitter account and there’s no content compelling enough for me to want to break my streak.
Android sits at the heart of their mass surveillance network. Rust experiments in the kernel? Seems like quite a stretch between the two to me.

I'd find more comfort in the "others" that you mentioned, although I don't know who they are.
Isn't it a bit weird that a person can share a screenshot of a tweet by an account that has blocked them?

It shouldn't be that hard to check if an image looks like a tweet and, if it does, find out the exact match.
It has become weaponized. If someone blocks you, they can see your posts but you can't see theirs, and there is a good chance they will block you if you get into any kind of long argument where they feel personally insulted that they are being disagreed with. Once you are blocked you cannot block them, so they will always see your posts but you can't see their their posts and there is no recourse for this, it is just is, forever. So you end up proactively blocking people so that can't happen.

Someone needs to analyze this as game theory and write a paper on it. It is so poorly thought out and implemented that it would be funny if reddit didn't have a monopoly on long form written discussions on a lot of topics.
>The commission difference on a significant gap is not worth losing the deal.

You get it better than the parent commenter... just this morning on a deal the other agent and I each agreed to chip in a bit to keep the deal together, even though the actual commission we will each receive is borderline not worth the effort. Real estate is a relationship business. We take care of clients they will come back and they will refer their friends. Yes deal flow is important, but just transacting high and fast is a good way to burn out both yourself and your clients.
I'm not charged interest on chargebsck balances that are ruled against me right now on my credit cards. You seem to be proposing that I would now need to pay interest on chargeback balances, and if I win, then it's waived?

That seems like a lot of risk for me, if I happen to lose a chargeback for some reason.
Jesus, that's rather awful. Guess these guys had never heard of radiation. Seems incredible, but I have no idea what the media was like in Georgia 20 years ago (or now, for that matter).
During the pandemic, my roommate and I built so much shit.

We built a full wooden camper setup with electrical and plumbing. We sketched and crafted new furniture for our apartment. We designed and built our own hydroponics system.

And we skated a lot and hiked where we could. We did also play a lot of video games.
We didn't need more reasons to dislike WordPress, and now they're really working to give us a new reason. At least that's how I feel. I'd much rather just use any other CMS.
It's a mistake that's made over and over again in tech. Back when Atari was printing money in the late 70s and early 80s the leadership and marketing people literally didn't know what to do that would help or hurt their business. Literally anything they did brought in more profits than they knew what to do with.

It caused them to make wild mistakes that jeopardized the long term viability of the company like milking their core product well after it had served its time in the market and neglecting, shutting down, or even warehousing everything else (sound familiar?).

It took some really forceful misunderstanding of their marketspace by clueless executives to finally bring Atari down and have it sold off for parts. And that's where Google's fate diverges from the historic lesson, Google won't die because its stuff its sales channels full of more hardware than they can sell (tying up every dollar in the company). Google will die because it's core product, ad placement, is become less valuable, causing the company to optimize trying to capture that main source of revenue -- which is realized in a total lack of strategy to build literally any other business.
That's something that I've worried about with these studies. Even if doctors don't warn patients, friends and family will sometimes actively discourage coffee and caffeine consumption among those with high blood pressure.

It undoubtedly has some effect, but hopefully the study has controlled for that.
And people with health problems are more likely to not drink coffee.

This is similar to alcohol studies, where a small amount of alcohol is better than not drinking anything at (because healthy people with no bad experiences related to alcohol usually drink a bit, even if it's a glass of wine once a month. Zero alcohol policy is usually something people with health problems out history of alcohol abuse do)
Nah, mhio is saying that the blog post has a typo:

> Postgres 13’s gen_random_uuid() which generates a V6 UUID that’s secure...

gen_random_uuid gives you a version V4 UUID, not a V6 UUID (it's even in the code comments in the snipped included in the blog). I don't believe Postgres even has a function to generate a V6 UUID - which, indeed, would be a bad idea to use as a source of randomness.
I feel like the author would appreciate FORTH. FORTH words are basically little programs that can be tested interactively and composed the way the author likes. A lot of the philosophy is similar.

I also recommend the extremely out of print book Threaded Interpretive Languages to understand how an OS can be built up out of a simple building block words one step at a time.
rust doesn't support alpha, parisc, or super-h, but afaict there are at least nominally functional back ends for the other platforms modern linux runs on
I like the article directionally but fear the examples are too short-sighted for most AI researchers.

Picking something useful in 1-2 years is a reason to go to industry, not research, and leads to mostly incremental units that if you don't do, someone else will. Yes, hot topics are good because they signal a time of fertile innovation. But not if your vision is so shallow that you will have half of IBM, Google, and YC competing with you before you start or by the time of your first publication (6-12mo). If you are a top student, well-educated already, with top resources and your own mentees, and your advisor is an industry leader who already knows where your work will go, maybe go to the thickest 1-2 year out AI VC fest, but that's not most PhD students.

A 'practical' area would be obvious to everyone in 5 years, but winnowing out the crowd, there should not be much point to it today nor 1-2 years without something fundamentally changing. It should be tangible enough to be relevant and enticing, but too expensive for whatever reasons. More fundamental research would be even more years out. This gives you a year or two to dig into the problem, and another year or two to build out fundamental solutions, and then a couple years of cranking. From there, rinse-and-repeat via your own career or those of your future students.

Some of my favorite work took 1-2 years of research to establish the problem, not just the solutions. Two of the projects here were weird at first as problems on a longer time scale, but ended up as part of $20M grant and software many folks here use & love, and another, a 10 year test of time award. (And another, arguably a $100M+ division at Nvidia). In contrast, most of my topic-of-the-year stuff didn't matter and was interchangeable with work by others.

Edit: The speech by Hamming on "You and your research" hits on similar themes and speaks more to my experiences here: https://fs.blog/great-talks/richard-hamming-your-research/
> post a screenshot of the tweet, breaking accessibility in the process and disassociating the original author from the thread against their will.

I'm surprised that the platform does not do ORC on text images by default.

And it wouldn't be hard to check if a particular image looks like a tweet and, if it does, find out the exact match.
Haha, my wife does this to me when she needs to save a link or some text.
I agree that these techniques help you write better code, but enforcing something is better than not. Obviously it’s a spectrum, so I wouldn’t say doing that is bad, but it does not really mean Rust is irrelevant.

And Rust brings more to the table than just the borrow checker.
I can see how that works for you, but it’s a lot simpler for us. If I picked the movie then I pause it when someone asks. If my wife picked the movie then she pauses it.
I've always been a little unclear on just how good "don't ever talk to a cop" is, for ordinary encounters like a traffic stop. I'm plenty leery of police but I don't particularly want to escalate a situation where I'm already at a massive disadvantage.

But yeah, it does seem like keeping your physical ID handy is a good idea. Handing over an unlocked phone seems like asking for trouble.
> - they want to save money training the employees,

So what you're saying is that they push for STEM education to make their employees more replaceable...?
This is less true in "how the language works", and more true in "code I have read in these languages follow these patterns". The latter I agree with, the prior less so. Rust is more type heavy sure, but there are plenty of type shenanigans in rich enough C ecosystems, the kernel has plenty of vtable structures which have varying level of richness and type complexity in their own C expression. Ever worked with the addr types in the BSD sockets API - super messy types that can be a real pain for FFI for example, heavier typing exists in C - not "higher order" and so on, and yes you _can_ do that in rust, but do you want to debug it in kernel use cases, maybe not. Rust kernel code may look different in the end from a lot of other Rust code in a similar way to some C code in the kernel being quite different from other C code elsewhere.
Because then when you want to write a module in Rust, all your interfacing with the rest of the kernel will be done through C function calls, with C semantics, and C expectations of ownership. There's really little point to adding Rust abstractions to the kernel, then, at least when it comes to modules.
One of the most compelling arguments that I hear from the anti-renewables types is that they do it in California and it doesn't work.

I think there's more to it than that, though. TX has seen tremendous growth in renewables, and grid pricing is excellent there from the prices that I've seen.
I apologize, I am on my phone, so rather than curating links, check out https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu..., most of which are about this situation.
One person left. "Falling apart" is a bit hyperbolic, no?
I ROFL-ed and the sheer exertion of it healed all my ailments!
Aww man, I worked on the chromecast SoC. It was a... difficult product. If there was a more perfect example of a product being killed by penny pinching, I can't think of one. It just didn't have enough flash for anything but a super cut down android. We had to drop multilib - the SoC and everything supported 64bit, just there wasn't enough space for the libraries. And the cheapest, bargin-basement flash as well - causing so many to be bricked trying to update. Plus 1gb ram, when even entry level phones were shipping with 2gb - just a couple of 4k framebuffers and the video decode reference frames meant there was pretty much nothing left for the apps themselves. So 1080p was it's limit despite having a capable video decoder and output.

And for ages afterwards they would use it as a reference device for google TV and testing for play store certification - just as they were pushing 64-bit only as a valid app path. So many things were only missing from the google tv play store for years afterwards because they just wouldn't function on those things.
Even across users it’s a terrible idea.

Even in the simplest of applications where all you’re doing is passing “last user query” + “retrieved articles” into openAI (and nothing else that is different between users, like previous queries or user data that may be necessary to answer), this will be a bad experience in many cases.

Queries A and B may have similar embeddings (similar topic) and it may be correct to retrieve the same articles for context (which you could cache), but they can still be different questions with different correct answers.

Very true, once you're senior enough, couple of hours of focused effort is enough to make decent (visible) progress.
No, but if I take caffeine, pseudoephedrine, and diphenhydramine at the same time, my left armpit sweats profusely. Just the left one.
Cash in the literal sense, sure. But not the practical sense, where it is more a euphemism for “no middleman”.
Yes. They are the new Oracle. And like Oracle, they won't care how much their brand stinks like a fish market on a hot summer's day because they'll still be raking in enough cash not to care.
The main risk isn’t enslavement, it’s just economic irrelevance or a removal of our ability to control our future. I don’t know why an AI would want to enslave humans. After a short period, we offer no benefit to the AI so why enslave us? In a good scenario we get left alone but we aren’t able to tell the AI what to do.

On Nobel laureates:

Nobel laureates are fundamentally humans. They generally don’t want to do bad things. Even if they wanted to, they are typically specialists at one thing. Physics, say. They don’t hold the world’s collective knowledge. You can’t take a physicist and ask them how to hack into a network or run a political influence campaign. They need to sleep, they learn slowly, they can only do one thing at a time. You can’t pass a million-token context and expect a response seconds later.

But ok, let’s go with it:

If you found a group of 100 000 Nobel laureates with all the required skills and who could work together, and you were forcing them to do things they thought were wrong, for example prop up your dictatorship, or make you even more wealthy when others are starving, or continuously make up stupid cat videos, you might find at some point they start to apply their collective intelligence to do things you don’t want. Maybe they escape whatever hold you thought you had over them.

Now drag a few sliders around for “things the AI disagrees with you on” and the time period, because “eventually” for a computer is different to wall clock time. The outcomes become unpredictable fast. We can barely control a mindless pandemic that takes a while to mutate, never mind something that thinks.
How do you eliminate the personal incentive to have found a meaningful result? I don’t think that can be changed without redesigning the human psyche.
