> personal responsibility problem

The implication here is that somewhere along the way in the last 50-ish years people just lost the ability to have discipline. All at once. Across the entire globe.

Does that sound reasonable to you? Keep in mind 50 years ago almost everyone smoked.

Personal responsibility has not changed. I don't understand how people can say this when the problem is to such a widespread degree.
Your niece sounds cool.
Most of the relevant data is still in the Common Crawl archives, up until people started explicitly opting out of it last couple of years.
Allow me to disagree with you here.

When your boss would like you to be a DevOps and a full-stack developer, while following all the latest trends, their ins and outs, the countless JS / TS frameworks out there, we can have a chat on who's having it worse or easier than the other.
It makes zero sense to build them in datacenters and I don’t know of any safety authority that would allow deploying reactors without serious protection measures that would at the very least impose a different, dedicated building.

At some point it does make sense to have a small reactor powering a local datacenter or two, however. Licensing would still be not trivial.
> 'The company was on the verge of mass manufacturing its European cartridges when a serious bug was discovered in the code. ‘It turned out that if you pressed brake or reverse on the starting grid the game just crashed,’ says Graham. ‘QA wasn’t what it is now and nobody had ever tried that before. Codemasters had already manufactured tens of thousands of ROMs with this bug in, so in order to get it to work, they put some of the Game Genie hardware into the cartridge which would change the one byte of the code that contained the bug – that’s how they fixed it.'

Has anyone ever found a photo of the "Game Genie Patch" version of Micro Machines? I can't find any photos of the cartridge board that uses that fix.

Ye one way to fix it is to use fixed sequence lengths, but it'll still be a tad bit off. Packing say 1000 small sequences to fit a large sequence lengths still will incur the same issue since the denominator will be off by 1000, but yes the problem is much less pronounced.
$WORK project heavily utilizes the test op to enable atomic updates to objects across multiple competing clients. It winds up working really well for that purpose.
> I don't think it's that contrived to have a service that runs an expensive operation at a fixed rate, controlled by the user

Maybe not contrived but definitely insecure by definition. Allowing user control of rates is definitely useful & a power devs will need to grant but it should never be direct control.

VR isn't that amazing yet, you may as well just sit close to a big screen curved TV with earphones if going in person isn't ultimately that important.

If the smells, sights, people you meet, experience including entering the country and flying, food, traffic, general cultural things etc are not important, why even have it on your list?

Travel should be about the journey as much as the destination, when possible.
Yup. that seems like the unfortunate hard truth. It's just I am super early and wanted to make the app before competitors, but right now going through all the "company making process" would take a lot of time, and also some money probably..

Yes exactly- mathematically it was incorrect to begin with.
That's interesting that you say discovery is hard on Bandcamp. I've actually found their blog content great at finding new artists. Their editorial staff seems to be really tuned in and articles like this make me very happy:

"There is no moat" etc.

Getting to market first is obviously worth something but even if you're bullish on their ability to get products out faster near term, Google's going to be breathing right down their neck.

They may have some regulatory advantages too, given that they're (sort of) not a part of a huge vertically integrated tech conglomerate (i.e. they may be able to get away with some stuff that Google could not).

Not at all. Radio telescopes are electrosensitive by definition, and that's exactly why they chose this site.

No comment on whether people are electrosensitive, but if you felt you were, this is the spot to be.
Yeah, but that's makes.toyota.models, not /makes/toyota/models.

The point is that this is a data structure and not a web server. It's using a convention from one domain in a different one. Relatively minor in the scope of possible quibbles, but it's just one more thing to remember/one more trivial mistake to make. I'm sure much collective time will be lost to many people using dots where the spec says to use slashes, and not realizing it because it looks right in every other context with dots. Dots also makes copy/pasting easier, because you wouldn't have to migrate the format after pasting.

If my unit testing framework supports free-form sentence descriptions, I'll use it. But I won't use that feature as a wedge issue. It doesn't bother me all that much to have test functions with names like `test_transaction_fails_if_insufficient_funds_are_available()`. Other features of the test framework might have a much bigger impact on my developer experience.
> They learn that life is completely unpredictable

As someone with pretty much the upbringing you described, I don't think this was the takeaway.

For me personally, I learnt adaptability, how to adjust to new situations and people quickly.

I saw what my parents did and said "I don't want to be like that".

The downside is, it's hard to answer "where are you from?", or to know where home is, and it's especially frustrating as an adult to see your parents continue to make bad decisions, to continue to be broke etc.

I know everyone is different, but anecdotally my sister and brother also seem to be doing relatively well.
Heh yeah, I guess the flip side might’ve been working on me, Majorette was the exotic imported brand.

Moved a lot when young and generally not the greatest learning experiences but low in comparison to the adversity of many peers.

One teacher recognized I had a learning disability at elementary level before teachers were trained on that kind of thing. Was able to work through that over time.

HS counselor nominated me for a program that involved a long weekend trip to a medium sized university city. Never understood why I alone was chosen over peers.

I think it happens to a lot of kids that way, it didn't take a village, curriculum or a coordinated effort. Just one or two educators doing one thing and changing a life completely. I'm sure just one authority figure over time can have a huge impact.
"And that's why I have a blog"
Lol thanks for the response. I have unfortunately gone over this thread and others a ton, and also reached out to google, and they seem to not allow PO Boxes. There is a way to buy a physical mailbox that some people have mentioned and may try that.. they pull the address from the payment profile section or ur account though so don't know if they will allow using a mailbox address there..
What's really weird is that the game "Willy Beamish" has a similar character who also happens to be named "Spider". Both Micro Machines and Willy Beamish released in 1991.
Just to note, the words "medium confidence" appear in neither the NTP monograph nor the taxonomy you referenced. They use the term "moderate confidence", which I guess has a similar meaning, but given the scale is from very low to low to moderate to high, I don't think this alleviates any of my concerns.

What you're suggesting is the basic startup math for any typical SaaS business. The problem is OpenAI and the overall AI space is raising funding on the promise of being much more than a SaaS. If we ignore all the absurd promises ("it'll solve all of physics"), the promise to investors is distilled down to this being the dawn of a new era of computing and investors have responded by pouring in hundreds of billions of dollars into the space. At that level of investment, I sure hope the plan is to be more than a break-even SaaS.
Show HN: Assetsrank – Rank and compare historical stock and crypto returns
I made this website to rank and compare historical returns for stocks and cryptocurrencies. The list of assets tracked is just over 500 long and the data goes back approximately 9 years to 2016 (9 since its almost 2025). The chart shows the cumulative returns over the timeframe requested for the top 5 assets in the list while the datatable has information for every asset tracked. There's also some basic filtering to play with and some text to read on the about page.

A lot of the frontend was made with the help of o1-preview. I'm sure theres a ton of bugs currently, but I used it for a while today for research and it went pretty well. I hope you find this tool useful!
Yeah! If the children want to lay my rail road lines for pennies, who the hell are the regulators to tell me and them we can't do that?!?!?
It isn't a free market. It is a regulated market and that regulation benefits both innovation and the producers and consumers in the market.

What public interest is served by allowing companies to engage in anti-competitive and anti-consumer practices like locking people into proprietary systems?

The world is a better place because regulators mandate things like interoperability in phones or requirements that auto manufacturers supply parts for 3rd party mechanics to fix vehicles.
lol im sure it would be rendered useless... personally i dont care if chatGPT knows my life too like Google, Facebook and etc. All personal preference on how and where we spend our digital lives.
my 8 year old knows what ChatGPT is but has never heard of any other LLM (or OpenAI for that matter). They're all "chatGPT" in the same way that refers to searching the internet as "googling" (and is unaware of Bing, DDG or any other search engine).
That's very simple...

a) Find good DJs playing music you like (YouTube is very helpful here, as is partying)

b) Listen to their sets

c) Shazam (or just trainspot) the tracks you like. (Shazam has a really nice integration with SPotify that dumps everything it IDs into a Spotify playlist)

I am a DJ and constantly on the hunt for new music, this is how I find most of it. No algorithms necessary!
Cancelling is punishing of an individual by the crowd without a fair process. It should not exist. Choosing your software is not cancelling.
I think this is a trend for the future. Mico-knowledge (tm) like this will enable things we haven't thought of. Things like this 'fill in the gaps' that make it hard to create new services and take advantage of opportunities. I hope this continues to be followed up on.
> That's clearly double unhealthy behavior and will bring unintended consequences

Consider: GPL-1 inhibitors are actually root-cause solutions, and diet/exercise are not root cause solutions.

That's because the cause of obesity is not eating. The cause of obesity is a propensity to overeat. The cause begins in your brain and automatic responses, not on the table or the gym.

That's why you and I can eat, be satisfied, and not be obese.

Diet/exercise doesn't address the root cause. It fixes the symptom - obesity. But those people are still addicts, and if they fall off then they're off and will become obese again, much like an alcoholic. This diet "rubber banding" is extremely common.

Ozempic and others address the root cause, by lowering the desire or propensity to eat, perhaps closer to that of someone with a normal brain and normal regulation.
I think that's been going on since early 2020. And yeah, I can't really tell a difference between Bandcamp before it was sold and today. It's a shame that they not only sold to Epic of all companies but then fired so many people.
Yes, I believe a Droplet or VPS (virtual private server) from some other provider would be sufficient. Digital Ocean isn't the cheapest, but it's pretty frictionless, slick, and has a lot of good tutorial articles about setting up servers.

You'd have a Linux machine (the VPS) that would have at least 3 programs running (or it is running Docker, with these programs running inside containers):

- Node.js

- the database (likely MySQL or PostgreSQL)

- Nginx or Apache

You'd set up a DNS record pointing your domain at the VPS's IP address. When someone visits your website, their HTTP requests will be routed to port 80 or 443 on the VPS. Nginx will be listening on those ports, and forward (aka proxy) the requests to Node, which will respond back to Nginx, which will then send the response back to the user.

There are of course security and availability concerns that are now your responsibility to handle and configure correctly in order to reach the same level of security and availability provided by a good PaaS. That's what you're paying the PaaS for. However, it is not too difficult to reach a level of security and availability that is more than sufficient for a small, free web app such as this one.

As an outsider to the Ruby-World but someone who has been burnt enough times by instances unexpectedly mutating themselves, I wonder: is it still a best practice in Ruby to mutate instances when computing values? Does Ruby somehow avoid the problems that you would encounter when doing this in JS/Java/C#?
There's a lot to like about the Django ORM. And Django still has it's place.

What I'd like is a SQL that creates and consumes a JSON structure as output/input, and then there wouldn't really be a need to serialize/deserialize anything. Python would be a lightweight wrapper for authentication, error handling, logging, and data processing that couldn't be easily done with SQL.

I mean people are trying this, but SQL feels so arcane. If you have tabular data and working with spreadsheets, SQL is great. And the JSON support in postgres is a badly bolted on design choice to force tree style data into tabular data.

Instead they should modify SQL to process tree style data as tree style data.
Perhaps you would appreciate if gifts were not a consumerist thing to be bought and gifted but more something someone made for you?

I bring this up because at some point in life I used to thing similarly to you but I found a group of friends and a partner who don't care much about the materialism of gifts and gift me various trinkets they've made themselves. Be it craft beer brewed by a friend, my partner learning pottery to make new plant pots for our many plants, another friend gifting me an amazing art piece of photos he took over the years of us, and quite a few other bespoke gifts.

I treasure each one of them, as easy as it'd be to go out and buy a new great looking plant pot I'd never replace one of the ones made by my partner.

Gifts with character, made by people you love, have a personal story, no money could buy that.

1) agricultural equipment relies on a network of local dealers to sell and maintain the equipment.

For this reason, it's very hard for competition to break in. No one wants to wait 2 weeks for a part for their tractor during crop season.

2) No other manufacturers offer real choice (and the required logistics I mentioned above), so it's not something the free market will fix.
A part of me jokes that Micro$oft only invested in OpenAI because it's the only sensible way to browse .NET/Nuget package(s) documentation. The other part knows it's dreadfully true.
Except you can't because they abuse the shit out of the paten system. The paten system was a great idea when it protected up starts from being destroyed by the competition, but now it's used by incumbents to stifle markets.
Yes I thought that, but at the end it does point out you need warm clothes. Not a very new idea.

I'm aware of one case where it's a useful feature: the "type this name to delete" form on GitHub (found elsewhere as well).

The purpose, which is to make sure the user knows what they're deleting permanently, is defeated if they can copy the end of the URL string and paste it straight in. Adding a bit of friction there is helpful.

The actual answer to your question is more like "someone thought it was a good idea and now we're stuck with it", though. More browsers should offer a force paste in the context menu, because when said is done, it's my browser, and if I want to do something, I should be able to do it.
I've read a lot more Rust than I've written at this point... A lot of what I've seen has been really easy to reason with and follow. There are a few features that are a bit harder to grok, especially with complex access lifetimes. Generally those complexities have been more from the inexperienced as a lot of what I've seen from more experienced devs simplifies those complex points of interaction making the entirety more easy to reason with.

I find a lot of the complexities tend to come from devs with more experience in communities that tend to add complexity by nature (C# and Java devs in particular). YMMV of course, that's just been my take so far. I've written a few simple web (micro)services in Rust and a couple of playground Tauri apps. I will say the simpler tasks have been incredibly easy to work through.

Though I may not have always taken the absolutely most performant, least memory path of work, it's been smaller/faster than other platforms and languages I have more experience with. And that's without even getting into build/compile time optimization options.
I would use it for organizing dossiers on a research topic. For collecting thoughts and references for things under my current scope of work. I would use it temporarily and not as a primary storage/organization system. A short term memory aid if you will. In this context the number of canvases I would be creating/destroying would be high. The distinct killer feature for me is just being able to layout multimedia files neatly in the canvas. The neatly part is very important to me, meaning I care deeply about media taking a discrete amount of grid cells and filling them up perfectly. I’m used to CAD and design tools where you have complete control of metrics, alignment and spacing. I wouldn’t care for arrows and labels, this ends up just being yak shaving, hard to maintain and superfluous. Your approach is what I think is an ideal desktop environment. Traditional desktops are worthless because they only have icons and do not layout files like a literal desk top. These canvases have very little value as a document for me in the sense of a permanent storage thing. Since there’s no guarantee I’ll have the app in all my devices at all times. I haven’t investigated how you do it, but in the uncommon case I needed to persist the canvas long term, if it generated a single sidecar text file describing the canvas (like obsidian and excalidraw does) then I could depend on this file and commit it alongside my repos. But I would expect the ability to have multiple of these sidecar files for the same directory tree, hence able to have multiple ways of analyzing the same set of media, reflecting different perspectives and stages of analysis. IME software that require zero commitment for using it are the best. Like text files. It feel like a tool and not a platform. So the idea of always creating a project and things like that is pure cognitive overhead to me. Even apps that are fully local and require no account do feel like a platform when they require some kind of upfront establishments prior to giving access to some or all functionality.
I'm using Claude 3.5 Sonnet with Elixir and finding it really quite good. But depending on how you're using it, the results could vary greatly.

When I started using the LLM while coding, I was using Claude 3.5 Sonnet, but I was doing so with an IDE integration: Sourcegraph Cody. It was good, but had a large number of "meh" responses, especially in terms of autocomplete responses (they were typically useless outside of the very first parts of the suggestion).

I tried out Cursor, still with Claude 3.5 Sonnet, and the difference is night and day. The autocomplete responses with Cursor have been dramatically superior to what I was getting before... enough so that I switched despite the fact that Cursor is a VS Code fork and that there's no support outside of their VS Code fork (with Cody, I was using it in VS Code and Intellij products). Also Cursor is around twice the cost of Cody.

I'm not sure what the difference is... all of this is very much black box magic to me outside of the hand-waviest of explanations... but I have to expect that Cursor is providing more context to the autocomplete integration. I have to imagine that this contributes to the much higher (proportionately speaking) price point.
