Exactly.

Kids who went hungry at school had behavioral problems, and couldn't focus on schoolwork. The solution was to give the kids breakfast, not to tell them to cope with hunger until they got home.

This is probably what’s going to get us over the 80 years life estimate plateau. The main killers now are overwhelmingly cardiovascular diseases and cancers.
Out of curiosity, how long have you been working as a developer? Just that, in my experience, this is mostly true for juniors and mids (depending on the company, language, product etc. etc.). For example, I often find that copilot will hallucinate tailwind classes that don't exist in our design system library, or make simple logical errors when building charts (sometimes incorrect ranges, rarely hallucinated fields) and as soon as I start bringing in 3rd party services or poorly named legacy APIs all hope is lost and I'm better off going it alone with an LSP and a prayer.

>Over the years, the server has grown to have around a few thousand active accounts, which isn't all that many. However, they've generated something like 32 million statuses. Just to put that in perspective, mastodon.social has over 2 million users, who have generated around 110 million statuses.

At home I use 2 28" 3:2 4k displays and in the office I use the same setup and 2 additional 24" WQXGA-Displays and I like the ability to spatial arrange windows and corresponding tasks.

I even noticed this back in the day when multiple displays meant 2 17"-19" 4:3 or 5:4 displays and the first colleagues started to use the first 30" displays with 2560x1600.
How to configure Keycloak server for FIPS compliance
A really interesting read. From the discontinuation notice[1] that the article links to:

> Perhaps it comes down to this: indirectly, our own personal benefit for writing PlantStudio software and our other projects includes all the other wonderful free stuff on the internet, and it would cost us trillions of dollars if we had to pay for the creation of all that diversity ourselves. We don't mind using guilt to effect change :-) but this time, with products under free license, it will be guilt to go do something positive in the world to pass on the gift, rather than a one-for-one exchange with us.

That's a wonderful sentiment from the humans who put a lot of effort into building this software (and eventually decided to give it away).

Not if you don't have users, that is the point.

Vast majority of applications both in enterprise and consumers space that get built do not close to even say 10k monthly active users.

You can stick several of those apps in crappy PHP or NodeJS code on to the cheapest $50 / month VPS and nobody will know the difference ,or do it even cheaper on run them on serverless stacks such as firebase, lambda etc.

There is a threshold for usage of code under which the significant cost driver is developer time and skill levels needed. 95%+ professional developers never write code that will exceed this threshold.

This economics is what drives

- So much poorly written plugins for CMSes or apps in easy to start languages like PHP or nodeJS,

- No code solutions as diverse as Retool or Shopify get so much revenue and valuations

- Copilot style AI assistance would have a market even when they were not good enough for skilled developers.

This economics works for startups too, all of here use the cloud, and it will keep making sense both technically and economically until we hit perhaps 10s if not 100s of millions of users. We don't care about somebody else DC with network mounted disk with shitty I/O performance or be bothered about paying for metered bandwidth or the language we use.

There are only few pieces of code that truly cross the threshold where cost of performance of infra(RAM, Disk, Memory, Bandwidth, CPU etc) costs are much greater than cost of developer time so it makes sense to optimize it.

Facebook fiddled with Hack run time before optimizing out their PHP stack, Twitter famously rewrote out their ruby stack after they kept hitting limits. Products have to only worry about this problem IF they scale, most don't.

Obesity is itself an across-the-board impairment to health. Anything with a positive impact on obesity will be, therefore, an across-the-board improvement to health.
It's not "the same service".

Waymo is closer to a proper liveried taxi service than a rideshare. The only time I use rideshares is for NEMT. I use a human-driven taxi, albeit much less than Waymo, and I book through the taxi company's app.

The taxi company uses traditional medallions allocated by the authorities here. Their dispatch is traditionally over-the-phone, in fact they require me to answer the phone if I expect to get a ride. Their drivers--I don't know their employment status--seem to own their vehicles, which are fleet models, liveried, and usually identical. So I can always count on uniformity when I get in a car like that.

The human taxi service usually charges/estimates prices at least 20% higher than an identical itinerary with Waymo.

Waymo service is not Uber or Lyft. First of all, it's a liveried fleet vehicle. When I summon a Waymo, I know that they'll send a Jaguar I-PACE, and I'll know how to board it and fasten my seatbelt. That is absolutely golden knowledge to have. (Rideshares routinely give me panic attacks as I try and figure out how to seat belt when they've already started moving.)

The Waymo has an absolutely uniform experience, because it's always "the same Driver". Human drivers I've met have been drunk, belligerent, rude, scammers, incompetent, unsafe, late, lost, wrong car, overly friendly/nosy, you name it. Waymo is none of these.

Waymo's power trunk door means I can always stow my cargo, because the driver isn't living out of his car. Unfortunately, there is no human to assist me in lifting it, but there's room and there's a button to close it again.

Of course the in-car experience is luxurious and relaxing. I don't have to be concerned with a jerk driver or entertaining the guy or pretending to ignore him. I can basically curl up and zone out. I feel safety and security in Waymo alone.

The in-car display has plenty of telemetry to watch the 3D visualization, play music, adjust temperature, do what I want. There are always charging ports for my phone, cup holders, and sun visors.

Waymo is a Godsend for me. And it's a Godsend for anyone in a vulnerable population who may be at-risk while alone with another human like that. It's about time.
If you're talking about something like having an auction (per security) every N seconds, I don't see how that addresses the underlying issue, which is how to determine order priority.

If you have a bunch of orders at the same price on the same side, and an order comes in from the other side that crosses those orders (or there is an auction and there are orders on the other side which cross), how do you decide which of the resting orders at the same price should be filled first?

The most common way is that the first order to arrive at the exchange at that price gets filled first, and for that reason being fast is inherently advantageous.
Show HN: I Built a Click-to-Simulate 2024 Electoral College Calculator
I built an interactive tool to simulate Electoral College scenarios for the 2024 U.S. presidential election.
The app lets you:
- Click states on a U.S. map to simulate electoral scenarios
- See real-time electoral vote counting
- Experiment with different state combinations

Try it here: https://mirjamelad.github.io/adax-core-raw-example/

This is a non-partisan educational tool to help visualize how electoral votes add up.

PS: What started as a mini project to test my adax-core library turned into a toy that people kept asking to play with. So I thought why not share it here :)
Have you tried the chat mode?

The autocomplete is somewhere between annoying and underwhelming for me, but the chat is super useful. Being able to just describe what you're thinking or what you're trying to do and having a bespoke code sample just show up (based on the code in your editor) that you can then either copy/paste in, cherry-pick from or just get inspired by, has been a great productivity booster..

Treat it like a pair programmer or a rubber duck and you might have a better experience. I did!

I find chatgpt incredibly useful for writing scripts against well-known APIs, or for a "better stackoverflow". Things like "how do I use a cursor in sql" or "in a devops yaml pipeline, I want to trigger another pipeline. How do I do that?".

But working on our actual codebase with copilot in the IDE (Rider, in my case) is a net negative. It usually does OK when it's suggesting the completion of a single line, but when it decides to generate a whole block it invariably misunderstands the point of the code. I could imagine that getting better if I wrote more descriptive method names or comments, but the killer for me is that it just makes up methods and method signatures, even for objects that are part of publicly documented frameworks/APIs.
Facebook is barely 20 years old. No active social network is "20+ years" advanced of any other, because it's longer than their entire history.

Federated networks like Mastadon strike me as being centralization at scale.

They don’t appear to solve any of the power dynamics of users and operators - users are still at the mercy of the operator - and they run on either altruism or monetization.

Mastadon appears to have successfully created N copies of the Facebook problem, which is definitely better than where we were.
I'm much more interested in going the other direction, in order to get a TV without all the crapware.
Hello! Great question.

I tried to cover this in PEP 761, this comes down to a few things:

Python release managers don't want to use PGP due to the ergonomic burden. They are volunteers too, after all. This is the key point, and we are making that sentiment clear early (and with an extendable timeline also defining who gets to choose: Steering Council) so that everyone else can plan and take action.

There have been past efforts to stop using PGP that failed likely due to a lack of alternative. Now there is an alternative, but having an alternative is not enough. Verifiers need to start using the new method. It's been 2 years and no Linux distributions support verifying with Sigstore.

From my perspective there has been little to no work to look into Sigstore and whether it's usable by Linux distros. There's a gap in understanding about how Sigstore works in some places. I would not have this perspective without starting this conversation, I've been sharing all the feedback with Sigstore folks along the way.

I hope this provides more context into the "why". This is why "do both forever" is not a solution for us.

> Strava deserves all the blames it get

Not sure why Strava deserves any blame here. It's explicitly a social network for sharing your location and other training data. If you use it and share your location, that's it functioning exactly as designed.
> There are enough old games in existence today that a person could spend their entire life playing quality video games, be fully entertained, and never once touch a recently created title.

I cynically wonder if this is part of why these copyright laws will never change. People would buy fewer games if it were easy to play the good user-respecting classics. Can't have money go down, must maximize profit and sales.
> To become proficient with derivatives, you need to teach yourself by taking a lot of derivatives. But... wait... you are taking derivatives, you're not doing something special that can be called "learning".

Actually, that is the process of learning. Doing it yourself and checking your results is part of a feedback loop essential in learning anything. That's why the answers in the back of most math textbooks are so important, if you can't tell you've got the problem wrong, then you have "taught" yourself something wrong.
That is exactly what the execs at my company are telling us when asked about not using Nvidia -- diversifying away. It's funny though because we have no Nvidia for training at all. We use Trainium because we could not get our hands on Nvidia.
I had been using Pocket until a few months ago, and pocket's parser was a little better. It wouldn't choke on GitHub repos, for example.

I'll take a stab at changing your mind.

AIs are not able to write Redis. That's not their job. AIs should not write complex high performance code that millions of users rely on. If the code does something valuable for a large number of people you can afford humans to write it.

AIs should write low value code that just repeats what's been done before but with some variations. Generic parts of CRUD apps, some fraction of typical frontends, common CI setups.
That's what they're good at because they've seen it a million times already. That category constitutes most code written.

This relieves human developers of ballpark 20% of their workload and that's already worth a lot of money.

> This is performed with no acknowledgement of authorship or lineage, with no attribution or citation.

GitHub hosts a lot of source code, including presumably the code it trained CoPilot on. So they satisfy any license that requires sharing the code and license, such as GPL 3. Not sure what the problem is.
We have no use for crypto-currency or Carriages. In 1910 there were 240,000 carriage manufactures in the U.S, only 4 years later, there were 5. There are still 2. Technology does that. It does not matter how old... If its useless, its useless. Did we figure a use for the appendix?
I read a stat (maybe not true?) that we've only found around one dinosaur fossil for each 10,000 years that they existed. Maybe we just haven't found peak dino society yet-

I am an amateur radio operator and looking into the history of it, you quickly run into the telegraph, and telegraph operators would talk about things like the weather. It didn't take long before they realized that the weather in a place 100 miles away could show up the next day. Then they would warn everyone around them if bad weather was coming.
Assuming that those audio speakers are at ear height (I assume they are since those IsoAcoustics stands allow tilting but there is no tilt in the picture) then IMHO the display is placed too high, ideally you want your eyes level just below the upper edge of the screen. I don't blame OP though, I just think with this type of screen size, it is challenging to achieve that.
> Strava’s anonymization algorithm (the bubble feature) is primitive and trivially de-anonymized with basic triangulation.

That is not true. It picks a single random centroid near your privacy location and does the privacy feature based on that. Triangulation finds the random centroid, which is crucially not your hidden location.
> The more time I spend in a codebase the better idea I have of what the writer was trying to do.

This whole thing of using LLMs to Code reminds me a bit of when Google Translate came out and became popular, right around the time I started studying Russian.

Yes, copying and pasting a block of Russian text produced a block of english text that you could get a general idea of what was happening. But translating from english to russian rarely worked well enough to fool the professor because of all the idioms, style, etc. Russian has a lot of ways you can write "compactly" with fewer words than english and have a much more precise meaning of the sentence. (I always likened russian to type-safe haskell and english to dynamic python)

If you actually understood Russian and read the text, you could uncover much deeper and subtle meaning and connections that get lost in translation.

If you went to russia today you could get around with google translate and people would understand you. But you aren't going to be having anything other than surface level requests and responses.

Coding with LLMs reminds me a lot of this. Yes, they produce something that the computer understands and runs, but the meaning and intention of what you wanted to communicate gets lost through this translation layer.

Coding is even worse because i feel like the intention of coding should never to be to belt out as many lines as possible. Coding has powerful abstractions that you can use to minimize the lines you write and crystalize meaning and intent.

I should have been clearer: they didn't claim they paid for the work that was covered under the warranty. Slashed tires and other vandalism and body damage due to accidents obviously aren't covered and those repairs would have to be borne by the customer. (It's also true that those things aren't the results of defects and thus aren't directly Tesla's fault.)
