Yes, that's what I meant too, sorry.
This, so very much. Nowadays I go to great lengths to avoid reading any reviews or opinions on media I want to consume. Regardless of whether it is a book, movie, tv show or game.

I ask my partner to order books for me or to check what other entries are in a series because it is basically impossible to look up something like this without being jumped with summaries, ratings, opinions and similar that rob one of an unbiased experience.

I'll always remember the 2017 "King Arthur: Legend of the Sword" movie. I watched it at the movies with zero expectations and thoroughly enjoyed it and thought it was great. Much later I read some article or something on it and apparently people agreed it was terrible. I don't think I would have enjoyed it nearly as much if I had heard about it beforehand.

Indeed. All this quibbling about whether it is renewable or not really just comes off as making the perfect the enemy of the good.
It's a lot less mentally stressful to get a lower paycheck due to some white collar criminal's fraud than it is to get violently robbed for $20 or burgled, raped etc. Some of these crimes aren't even about money but destroy lives.

So I think it's definitely with reason that violent crimes are receiving heavier sentences.
I'd say so for sure. I've lived in London most of my adult life, and in my experience the air is a lot better than it used to be.

To some extent hackers are like the wind. They're a nebulous cloud of unidentifiable possible-people that you can't influence through shaming or laws or anything else. I think we should see them that way to make it clear that it's primarily the developer's responsibility.

Of course blame hackers when they're within reach too.
Here's my extension that crawls pages for on-page SEO, speed and security best practices:

https://www.checkbot.io/

It's the only extension I know of that checks multiple pages at once, so it'll find problems you usually miss checking one page at a time, and can spot issues across pages like duplicate page titles/headings/descriptions/content (e.g. Google will group, hide or rename these kinds of pages in search results, so you lose some control), duplicate asset files that can hurt caching, and lets you explore/audit your internal links/redirects.
I don't think so. It has been a learning language for two+ decades, very easy to pick up yet still powerful, and growing. Add the recent decade+ boom in data to machine learning to AI (see other comment).

I'd be surprised if outreach activities reached a fraction of that impact. In the other direction, the poor packaging story has definitely hurt it's reputation. Not a single python post goes by without someone complaining about it.
The implication from the story seems to be that they stuck around, but the man told them he was ok. Whether they decided to leave, or whether he insisted they leave isn't stated in the article. And then the man experienced an episode of vomiting the following day, passed out, and never recovered consciousness.

Whether that's technically and/or legally a hit-and-run is -- I suppose -- something that police will "have to investigate".
ULEZ charge is cheaper than a train ticket into London. GPs complaint is massively overblown. People want to keep doing what is most convenient for them and everyone elses air quality be damned.
That $1.8m figure is money spent, not profit made.

PyCon US usually takes in more than it costs to run - from sponsors and ticket sales.

This year the event ran at a loss, as noted in the post. In the past this has been rare - the PSF’s other activities used to be funded mostly from PyCon profits.
So instead of Google paying Mozilla directly, you suggest that users pay Mozilla through an appstore while giving a 30% cut to Google?

I don't know. If someone violently robbed me I would be very happy to never see them free again. Especially if they would be very likely to do it again.

Even if they didn't do any lasting physical damage, I would never be the same again mentally.

The point is about the large majority that runs on top of Proton.
Exactly, and when you interview for companies like this you have to basically prove that you are in the top 1% developers in the world, just to find shit like this being released in the wild for millions of devices. It is absurd.
Because code quality probably wasn't the bottleneck on product quality, and even if it was then some analogue of Amdahl's law applies.

Show HN: Locutio, an open source AI-powered translation management tool
Hi!

I run a League of Legends stats website which gets users from all over the world, so I wanted an easy way to translate it to many languages.

I looked at the alternatives in the market and they are all really expensive. I particularly wanted a LLM-based solution, not straight Machine Translations since context is usually important imo to get higher quality translations.

So I went ahead and built one! I'm hoping it's useful to other people as well.

Definitely better than it was 10 years ago. I've visited London once every 1-6 months for the past 10-15 years, and have noted a change. It's still not amazing, though - honestly, if they were to aggressively disincentivize diesel in small cars, I feel like everything would be fine. Subjectively, a day in London seems akin to spending a few hours with a 50cm3 2-stroke chainsaw, or an hour on an old diesel excavator. I do not feel the same way about most US cities, nor even most cities in mainland Europe.
Sure, but you're drawing a distinction without a functional difference. The following can both be true:

- Hungary's Putin-puppet regime is in favor of banning encryption so as to repress the opposition and stay in power indefinitely.

- Other EU political actors are in favor of banning encryption for their own reasons.

My comment did not imply that all non-puppet political actors in the EU were against banning encryption.

> Since gpt came out I have built tons of throwaway apps, plenty of specialized apps for side projects, and experimented with tons of ideas that I likely wouldn’t have if I didn’t have access to a tool to build it for me from just asking it to do it and explain what it did.

GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT and Phind are all a bit like this for me - they both lower the barrier of entry and save me a lot of time for trivial algorithms and boilerplate code, in addition to helping me find things better than search engines sometimes do, especially when given a look at the code that I'm working with.

It might not be an order of magnitude difference in my case, but things that wouldn't have happened with the higher barrier of entry are now happening and that's quite the difference in of itself! I'm cautiously optimistic about LLMs and other forms of "AI". If nothing else, so far we basically have a more versatile form of IntelliSense, even if it's not always going to output correct code.

I wonder if some day it'll be feasible to feed in the entirety of a larger codebase and reason about it better than people who only know a part of it could.
I’m trying to give the folks who work on these products constructive feedback. I have no idea if you’re affiliated or not. If you are, consider that my advice is worth as much as I have and will spend on your product: $0.

My products are so much better because of AI. I can now build things I didn't even dream of building before. I am amazed that so many humans find it really hard to accept this new reality - computers can write better code than we do.
This. Though it doesn’t stop at road design. You also have to change the regulations so that car drivers are (partially) legally responsible for accidents, even when a cyclist or pedestrian made the error. Pedestrians and cyclists are orders of magnitude more vulnerable. Putting much more of the legal burden on car drivers makes them more careful.

The hard part is that you also need to build a cycling culture. Most car drivers in NL are more mindful of cyclists, because they are cyclists themselves as well.

Circling back to road design. In our mid-sized Dutch city, it’s often faster to go from A to B than by bike than by car because of the excellent biking infrastructure and car-free city center. Everything is designed around cycling, some traffic lights will even give bikes a green light more often when it’s raining.

I'll tell you why I won't choose it as a solo dev.

Back when I was still young and impressionable, I had several frustrating experiences with it at university. Most due to my inexperience, a few times due to Windows being Windows. Also, back then the various $$ and time costs. IIRC $125+ for a windows DVD, $150+ for a VS.Net install DVD, and higher hosting prices for Windows. Also, installs and updates OS, .NET, etc were frequent and time consuming. When I'm making $2.50/hr + tips to get by I couldn't afford that kinda investment.

Now, most of my career has been using Linux, and a variety of interpreted languages. I'm comfortable with them. I boot my Windows partition maybe 2 times a year. There would be a huge cost for me to completely transition to .NET.

In order to get me to try it now would require you to show me some set of features that make it a much better choice than what I currently know. For example, if I someday choose to do Windows apps.
I do think it’s an important social issue though.

Swear words communicate important and precise emotions that no other words can communicate.

I totally understand why some words aren’t appropriate in a given social setting but it doesn’t mean the words are forbidden. Also those words can hurt when they are directed towards someone and you have to be cautious with them. But sometimes you want to hurt someone, sometimes you want to shock your audience. Sometimes you just want to laugh.

We are animals full of emotions and we need precise words to communicate them rapidly.
There’s some old work [1] that conceptualized sentiment as an interplay between subjectivity and sentiment. The more subjective a statement, the more “range” sentiment gets. I think this is what you are getting at.

I don’t think it ever gained traction, probably because people aren’t interested in creating an actual theory of sentiment that matches the real world.

Bottom line: Giving your work away for free may be gracious and noble but it is not very viable or sustainable from a long term perspective. Hope and charity is not a really well proven business model for widespread adoption.

The crazy thing to me is that most people in the world instinctively understand the economics involved here --- but not software developers for some reason. A large portion of whom religiously promote the idea that this is how most software should be done.

Try to convince the least educated manual laborer to work for you without any agreed upon pay and they will just laugh you off. Most doctors and lawyers aren't engaged in a crusade to promote pro bono as the future of their profession.

AFAIK diesel is not async. On top of that, I'm pretty sure you can find a query that you won't be able to perform with diesel DSL (some obscure PostgreSQL syntax). What I like about sqlx is that it's just pure SQL.
Except in this case your "Wait for the tech to mature" step is basically the same "Step 2: ???" from the underpants gnomes.

That is, how is this tech supposed to "mature" in any way to be actually commercially viable or an improvement upon much simpler methods for "moving stuff around"? Anything that ups the load means you're going to essentially have a giant copter you have to push around.

Don't get me wrong, I'm sure there are cool algorithms used for the stabilization and "push-sensing" features, but I can't see how in any possible universe that this tech will be viable for the purported use case.

After I gave my 5,000th ride on Uber I had a beer. I thought. I pondered. I devised the iniquity experiment.

(1) N drivers authorized on the Rideshare platform are engaged.

(2) these N drivers drive simultaneously and in a similar geographic preference- as if they live in the same neighborhood, but also are optimizing as drivers do. And yet drawn home.

(3) pricing, earnings, etc. are recorded per driver and compared across drivers on the Rideshare platform(s).

Now we engage the experimental component. With N drivers we can have N/2 drivers engage in behavior A or behavior B. Then, when the Rideshare platform denies they do this or that depending on that or this, there is good evidence that is not the case. Statistical evidence. Tallyho, bandits!

Agile gets bastardised as soon as specific reporting structures and deadlines come into place "What do we need to plan for this increment?" etc

A team with a good work ethic and some milestone goals to go to and a "Take from the top" mentality, Kanban is perfect for what needs to be done.

Can't take from the top "because of reasons"? Thats a conversation with the people that particular problem involves and things are re-prioritised.

I'll never understand removing a whole day of productivity for ceremonies to plan being more productive.

Async standups via Slack using Geekbot are absolutely fine, A daily simple async retro for teams on a different timezone also help massively for synchronisation, discipline to update tickets with progress and a push regularly mentality all helps with the sync problem if across timezones!

Set Operations on SAT Problems
I think the primary reason is that datasets contain a lot more average/bad code than exceptional, and to add to that problem judging between those is possibly a subjective issue.

Developers using AI will get mostly average solutions faster but exceptional ones will be obviously rare. And, crucially if the idea itself is average or bad there isn't much an elegant coding solution will do for the idea.

I think this ultimately is the divide between the hype and reality of how AI will impact products. If you just give a product manager the keys to do all the coding as no code "prompt engineer", more than likely will lead to further enshitification of features in products with unmaintainable code bases. At the current state, understanding algorithms and thinking computationally is a requirement to improve a code base.

The hopes of having a "build me a $1 billion app" prompt capability, or "improve my shitty app" are too long horizon and subjective requests to bypass the hardships of product ideation and iteration to have the LLM deliver on the requests. It's not magic, it's probability. Averages are the end goal here, not excellence.

If we arrive at a point where LLMs translate general prompts into idealistic versions that are more like version 100 of the idea while still capturing the user's intent, then we will see these improvements. Otherwise it's copy pasta on steroids, and done mindlessly, will mostly lead to enshitification rather than improvements.

It's crazy how optimized the Aranet 4 Home is. It runs on AA batteries for a whole year, no need to plug it in.

That's unique in the space, and a case where e-ink makes a real difference. And very convenient in practice.
It will not be able to reliably work with the A partition once B boots the first time - the update process even for many minor releases will trigger local and cloud data upgrades, and there are security reasons to not leave the option to leave older/unpatched versions runnable.

I don't think I've had a software update fail since iOS 7 beta 1 - and that was an issue with updating local data on first boot, so any attempt to revert to the prior OS without a wipe would have been pointless.
