>Communal and multigenerational living was the default standard for all of human history. But as soon as people are wealthy enough in any society, they get out of it.

This. I'm not sure why we pretend poor people live like that because they want to or because their society is better, when the reality is that most people wouldn't live like that if they had a choice.

The first two years are the scientific part of a medical course.

The next two are more about interacting with a live patient in a variety of settings. Obviously this si useful.

But most of the harm created by the medical system and skewed doctor incentives (only 15 minutes to see you) can be averted by those 2 years.
For example: knowing to e able to read a examination report means abiliy to ask questions immediately.
So never do anything unless you can guarantee a particular outcome?
> I am very amused at how you trying to present that as a Big Scary Number. It's as if some carnival barker is hyping up an amazing attraction and then pulls the curtain aside to a puzzling disappointment.

It's more like you're lying about what I said. I offered that as an example showing that the problem exists and can be detected.

Isolated investigations with limited resources, facing official opposition, naturally find only isolated cases. We won't know how widespread ("scary") it is without better investigations.

> State-level investigations are entirely possible and are also within the power of the most vocal doom-sayers to trigger

> Demanding a national investigation is an excuse for inaction, firstly because it's legally incoherent with how states manage elections

Both statements are simply inaccurate. The federal government sets the rules for federal elections, federal courts oversee them, and federal courts have blocked state-level investigations.

For example:

Does human reasoning survive that test? My reasoning for example is roboust to some extent but you can easily confuse me with appropriately (or innapriately) worded questions.

Not even talking about if you grab me by the ankle and swing me around with 10g acceleration i won’t even be able to answer the simplest questions. So clearly my reasoning is highly sensitive to certain perturbations.
I'm 100% with you on this one. I feel like people who won't like mind wandering are heavy Type-A, control-oriented personalities, who have some external objective in mind, and are unsatisfied until that objective is completed.

I don't think I've ever experienced a negative mood due to mind wandering. If anything, negative moods for me result in more fixation on a problem, where my mind will not wander, and will just constantly come back to a single thing.

> Why not cut your commute. Working from home has been so liberating.

For people who work as, say, a crane operator at a loading/unloading dock it's exactly a simple thing to ask ships and trains to come all the way to your house. Same thing for bricklayers, warehouse workers, cashiers, librarians, archeologists, prison wardens,...
You can almost totally disable Tridactyl on a domain with `:seturl [URL] superignore true` now for what it's worth.

`:blacklistadd [URL]` remains a much better option for most people for most sites because it lets you easily re-enable Tridactyl temporarily.

Glad you're happy with Vimium :)
You don't. You'd find contemporaneous accounts from people who'd taken the test and complained about it. That's how the social science of history works. I think the consensus here is that the brain-teaser test is either not real, or was not widely used (nobody has been able to find an instance where it was).

A clarifying bit of context: there were extensive complaints about the multiple-choice constitutional interpretation tests that were given at the time.
It is a reasonable expectation. They are fighting to survive. And find time to transition to something else more profitable.

A more graceful way is to make the govt data available for import. And then build products around that data. And that gives way to open source solutions in the future. And other projects too.
Thank god it'll say "I use Claude btw", not leading to unnecessary text wars (and thereby loss of your valuable token credits).
Boost appears to have become some kind of staging area for stdlib. Stuff that becomes popular in boost get eventually included in stdlib.
I tried diesel about 5 years ago. I needed to do relationships where the foreign key lived on the other side of the relationship from what diesel wanted. IIRC diesel only supported the key on a specific side, I think it was a M:1 relationship. Diesel docs said this was unsupported. I was still learning traits at the time but navigating how to implement this in diesel was beyond me. I used sqlx and moved on.
> if/when they do that there will be a community fork

One would hope, but if all the project’s experts are hired and have been working for a company that closed their once open source project, forks will have a hard time surviving.

That’s why redis and elastic search didn’t see an explosion of popular forks.
Terraform has opentofu, but I haven’t looked in on them in a while.

I don’t believe there are any Atom forks around since Microsoft killed that project after aquiring GitHub.

Also, the actual Visual Studio code you download from their website is NOT fully open source. It contains closed source extensions and configurations.
It's quite sad that application interoperability requires parsing bitmaps instead of exchanging structured information. Feels like a devastating failure in how we do computing.
I think the bigger issue Amazon will face is that you can edit items in a big way... it's not like just clarifying "Multi-socket extension cord" to "Three socket extension cord" but swapping out products wholesale once you've built up a clout of good reviews on it.

Honestly - Amazon really needs some serious lawsuits to force it to stop being such a bad actor in the online retail space.
Incredible. And people actually let these "TV inspectors" into their homes?

In your rush to condemn it, did you actually read the linked article? Let me quote:

"These tests [...] were “supposedly applicable to both white and black prospective voters who couldn’t prove a certain level of education” (typically up to the fifth grade). Yet they were “in actuality disproportionately administered to black voters.”

Additionally, many of the tests were rigged so that registrars could give potential voters an easy or a difficult version, and could score them differently as well. For example, the Veterans of the Civil Rights Movement describes a test administered in Alabama that is so entirely subjective that it measures the registrar’s shrewdness and cunning more than anything else."
Never been a fan of ORMs in general. Working with the extra abstraction layer on top of SQL can be painful.
> It was an action of thinking about something in a logical, sensible way

If only it was so simple! Empirically, you streamed a short text into a black box system and received a short text out. The output text was related and coherent, and -- after the fact -- you assessed it to be logically, sensibly applicable given the input.

On your way to using that to exemplify "reasoning" you took for granted that there was "thinking", and that the "thinking" was both "logical" and "sensible".

Any number of systems might deliver the empirical result you measured, and many of them would involve none of that. LLM's are sophisticated and highly capable, but the discussion about what language to use for what they do isn't nearly so simple as you suggest.
Yes. Which is why, even in the 1960s, even in Louisiana, state courts struck these tests down. I agree with you about them. The only disputed fact here is whether the "write backwards forwards" test was ever administered.
By the very fact that the resource is "good enough" implies that it won't have the holistic and beginner-tolerance required of a good instruction set.

A great text will get you upto beinngin in 2 weeks - month. A "good enough" will mean a year if it isn't your primary focus.

Hello HN,

I wrote about my journey developing a block editor (a la Notion) from scratch in Qt C++ and QML.

I wanted to prove that Qt can be a performant and efficient alternative to web apps deployed on desktop (via Electron, etc).

You can clearly see in the benchmarks how much more efficient my block editor is compared to existent solutions and how far behind web apps are.

I also tried to stress how with enough effort, one can create a Qt app that looks and behave similarly to a native app.

When I try to design a beautiful thing, it starts with beauty that convey meaning, function. While visually appealing by itself is nice, it's always the function, the meaning of interaction that should come first. Some examples I've shared in the blog post:

1. Drag and drop → https://rubymamistvalove.com/blog/drag_and_drop_internal.mp4 - the dragged items simply pop from their place and the rest of the items make room for it. This is an intuitive design that makes a lot of sense for end users.

2. Selecting multiple notes shows cards stack → https://rubymamistvalove.com/blog/cards_stack.mp4 - while visually appealing, it also conveys the action the user performs (similarly to how macOS Mail does the same).

It's been 1 year of development since I started this. Would love to hear your thoughts.
It's rare but it does happen.
Everything you said is absolutely true.

> Relative to other "standard" offroading 4x4s like the Rubicon/Wrangler or Land Cruisers, the Rivian is at best average and the Cybertruck is decidedly worse

But it's pointless to compare the Cybertruck to a Wrangler or Land Cruiser. It can tow more than 3x as much, payload is more than double, it can seat five people and still have a hug amount of cargo and of course it's way, way, way longer (and wider).

It only makes sense to compare it to an F-150, Ram 1500, Rivian, etc.

In which case it is really not bad off road at all.
Ask HN: What is the deal with chromes new "libchromescreenai.so"?
Aren’t there higher end manufacturers of balcony doors, who do offer premium service?
Yes I too can google. And in fact I did. Evidently questioning the validity of dog whistle is a dog whistle itself.

Meanwhile a small consolation is that https://slatestarcodex.com/2016/06/17/against-dog-whistles/ agrees with me. So I’m in decent company.
Fairly? No. At all? Obviously yes, because the unfairness of the tests we know to have been administered was widely covered.
Its specifically the "No drama" campaign that people were complaining about.
Two with little to no redeeming social value that I love anyway and watch often:

Clickhouse is great stuff. I use it for OLAP with a modest database (~600mil rows, ~300GB before compression) and it handles everything I throw at it without issues. I'm hopeful this new JSON data type will be better at a use-case that I currently solve with nested tuples.
Serious question:

Given the mood alerting properties of lithium, are people living here chiller than would be expected (controlling for instance for poverty / SES) ?
* Claude now identifies itself in chats to avoid endless chat with itself
My only "denial" when encountering high-church array languages is to deny them the precious brain space required to memorize their line noise syntax in order to be able to read them without a high ratio of comments to code.

They're (poorly) aping mathematical notation without the properties that give actual notations their power to augment thought using symbolic manipulation, but the people writing code in such languages don't see the need to write like mathematicians; to wit, they don't write mostly in English and save their code snippets for apposite moments when they would illuminate as opposed to obscure. Haskell programmers at least have the taste to use names in their code.
Probably, people find Claude's color palette warmer and inviting as well. I believe I do. But Claude definitely has few authentication hoops than chatgpt.com. Gemini has by far the least frequent authentication interruptions than the 3 models.
Yeah and the smallest thing that got zoomed in in the video was a galaxy. Like our milky way galaxy, so still fucking huge.
They are trained on tokens not characters.
How does the electoral commission knows where to send the voting card? Does the voter need to register with some electoral commission (governmental agency)?
Very cool. More of these AI capabilities need to be available locally without managing a Python environment.
We have some marketing sites that are static and Next on cloudflare is working perfectly for us at a large company. Fair enough if you don't like it. It is the most popular framework (or top 3) and hasn't scared off its user-base in spite of the issues you listed. Maybe those aren't the primary concerns (or dealbreakers) of most projects?
I don't think the articles point is about auto-moderation of harmful content

instead its about being empathetic of the human suffering this work entails and finding ways to treat their contractors as humans instead of 'far off resources'

outsourcing this dirty and dingy work to African countries in this way without caring for the 'contractors' is a recipe for de-humanization of people..

https://www.sama.com/our-team

their team page is funny reminder of classism and racial disparity in the world white people at the top and black people at the bottom.. lol I know they aren't racially driven and there is real economic value for the contractors as jobs but our current hyper-capitalistic global system is mostly setup to exploit offshore people instead of elevate them

the world is what it is..
Yep ... UCSF does this.

Weidly its the only good one I Found.
> BART and MUNI still use Clipper card only.

They also support Apple’s Transit card (Clipper card in your Apple Wallet) so it works by tapping your phone, without unlocking it. It should also work with your iPhone turned off (newer models I think iPhone 14+ only)
Having Counterstrike in the name of the repo and title of the game might not be the best idea, as it's a trademark.

It's also ... not an awful lot like CS at the moment. Mostly the size and complexity of the map.
I think you want that, but in a reserved instruction space with mandatory fallbacks.

It's how things work anyway, things that are on the edge of what can be done are good for running business and maybe not finalized enough to become standards.
AI is just a tool. A decent one, but still just a tool. Having the right tool for the job can speed jobs up by 10X, but you cannot get rid of the person wielding that tool. So even if AI does grow up to be more than glorified chatbots, all it changes is the level of abstraction we work in.
Both ECB and TDEA are dangerously outmoded even if quantum cryptanalysis is never realized; ECB because you can see penguins through it, and TDEA because of the 8 byte block size.

The people have chosen apps over protocols.
Not debating the practicality here, but even if you need your truck to do something only once in the entirety of your ownership, it needs to be capable of this all the time. Towing, crawling, etc.
> In the most subtle of cases, there are a lot of judgement calls to make.

IMO there is the even more important point that beyond being a "judgement call", humans are far from being in agreement with what the "right answer" is here - it is inherently an impossible problem to solve, especially at the edge cases.

Just look at the current debate in the US. There are tons of people screeching from the right that large online social networks and platforms censor conservative views, and similarly there are tons of people screeching from the left about misinformation and hate speech. In many cases they are talking about the exact same instances. It is quite literally a no-win situation.
Parents are the oppressive nation-states of their families.
Interesting. So it seems that from reading this, Canada, or at least Ontario, has a lot more electives at grade 12 than the US. So this might be more like the UK with their A-levels. In the US a highly motivated student might take say 4-5 AP courses, which would essentially count as their freshman year at university. But they would be unlikely (short of going to a few dedicate highschools) of having more than maybe 2 math courses in a single year.
It all seems quite simple to me. Just require an order number and the date of purchase to write a review and require all reviews be publicly available in a machine readable format and that anyone may publish them.

If you pay me I can write the same using 1000 pages without adding anything useful.
As for the overall X.509 ecosystem (not limited to name constraints), the certification validation logic of common clients accepts various subtly, but completely, invalid certificates because CAs used to sign (or even use as root certificate) various kinds of invalid certificates, one can probably even find a certificate, that should be logically trusted, but isn't even a valid DER encoding of the (TBS)Certificate.
What if a user identifies as Claude too?
HN timestamps get rewritten for second chance pool submissions and possibly others.
I read The Singularity is Near a few months ago. He makes a lot of predictions with great confidence and accuracy. Some of which are now in the past and others have basically zero chance of becoming true. His entire "AI will herald in a new era of nanobots" is pure speculation.

He now makes new predictions for the future with similar confidence.

Ray Kurzweil lives in an alternate reality. He's like one of those "the rapture is near" preachers types who keep moving the date for the rapture. Any moment now I expect him to start handing out Kool-Aid during one of his talks. I wouldn't recommend drinking that.
Most probably, something like 65432 is just one token.
yes! chat is still a necessary component, since it's sometimes the only way for us to communicate unstructured information to the system.
Since we don't observe any sign of anyone else explore it, or even broadcast themselves through it, it might be that it's not possible to explore it.
> Cars do not rule me

They do, that's what you're missing. They're both binding and addictive, because we have to build our entire society to revolve around them. You've lost countless liberties, as have many Americans, due to the concessions around cars.

The reason your grocery store is 5 miles away is because of cars. The reason you can't have a job without a car is because of cars. The reason you don't have a right to reasonable noise is because of cars. The reason you don't have a right to not inhale tire fumes is because of cars.

Cars have taken away your ability to do a lot of things. And no, you cannot "leave them" as you please, you are required to keep one otherwise you will most likely not have a job. Go ahead, try this out. Get rid of your car for one year, without moving, and come back.
I would not describe SWEBOK's breakdown of software security as "settled".
Do you feel it is a business’ right to “survive” to the detriment of citizens? Further is this even “survival”? Is there a right to a certain amount of profits in the face of damage to citizens? Dumping waste in rivers is more cost effective, do businesses have a right to that?
There is a lot of subtle meaning layered into that:

Cleverness: I'm funny and I'm confident enough in it to risk doing it publicly

Status: The statuses of you and Bob allow you to play a joke on them. Often such jokes are a public demonstration of status, like children do more explicitly and often unconsciously in the schoolyard.

Empathy: 'I say suffering is funny'; it asserts a willingness to violate a taboo, be unempathetic, and therefore potentially dangerous

Personal power: I'm powerful and independent enough to do something on a whim

etc.
I agree. API-first is the way! Change your schema, auto-generate types into your code and use them for your server definition. It's just faster and more secure this way. Use api-fiddle.com or spotlight.io to work with the schemas (branching, sync with Github).

In a fully typesafe world, it should be pretty hard to derive from the shema this way.
I am not a health researcher or anyting, but a quick googling seems to suggest its possible that it lowers risks of suicide[0] and other affective disorders, which by extension it would lower the rates of issues that can contribute to these issues I'd think.

That said, I honestly am unsure. It also is a requisite that it must be in the water in sufficient but low amounts

Show HN: Hyper Workspace – A no-code framework for JSON
Hello HN !

I'm Florian, and I would like to share with you a project I've been working on over the past few months: Hyper Workspace.

Before working in tech, I have been in the finance industry for more than 10 years. During this time, I've experienced using Excel+VBA and Python notebooks as main interfaces, but never felt completely satisfied. Interfacing potentially complex and nested objects that you need to consume in your applications is still a pain. Modern browsers can offer much more in terms of UI / UX, especially when coupled with JSON data representation, but they require to write and deploy specific code, use a rendering library... and I believe there is a better way: JSON deserves a fully horizontal framework, abstracting web semantics, and filling the gap between data, views and behavior.

To this end, I've been trying to shape Hyper Workspace so that it can provide no-code tools to build Documents':

- Fields: strongly typed, deeply nested and potentially recursive, data structures (inspired by Typescript).

- Views: drag n' drop configuration of documents' pages (ie sub-objects): layout, fields, widgets, actions, graphs.

- Methods: visual configuration of your "business logic" using a Domain Specific Language, plugged at every layer of your data structure, with an "object-oriented programming" philosophy. Builtin "Modules" can be used to add more functionalities.

You can build "standalone" Documents (like spreadsheets) but also Collections where Records share the same Schema, like a NoSQL version of Airtable. Unstructured data (pdf, images, audio, video) are stored as "Files" that can be linked inside Documents.

All this in a multi-desktops OS-looking environment. You will find a complete documentation inside your workspace.

So far, this is a purely local application that stores everything in your IndexedDB. It can be installed locally (PWA) and will then work completely offline. No account required and nothing leaves your device.

This is more the early stage of a framework than a complete product, but I hope it can shed a light on a potential new way to "configure" interfaces or even workflows, given that Documents can be seen as stateful representations of business processes. Builtin "Modules" are the key to extending the framework's capabilities: calling APIs, using AI agents to structure or query documents, or even take action...

I'd love to read your feedbacks, questions and ideas on it, and see together what could make it useful for you !

Thanks !
Florian
