More than one car per individual seems already such a waste but multiplying this at million people level, is that a real thing in USA or are you just extrapolating in your own social bubble? I mean, I must admit that I had the thought that this was just a troll that leverage on gross exaggeration of some American stereotypes, but actually I just can't decide if you are plain serious about these statements.

You're thinking of wrought iron. Cast iron has a higher carbon content.
The best way to encrypt ZFS is to run unecrypted ZFS atop encrypted volumes (e.g. LUKS volumes). ZFS ‘encryption’ leaves too much in plaintext for my comfort.
My other half works for the NHS blood/transfusion department and was able to trace my blood (after I gave her the number on the blood pack) and confirm that I was negative for various diseases including syphilis.

Hey, elinks still works just fine inside tmux over an ssh connection. Less hassle than getting the VPN running correctly if I just want to read a company intranet wiki page.
The article gives the example of Boris Johnson,
again author opinion to me he seems cute and i am straight.

And this
"Picture someone who recklessly spreads misinformation online, sharing a sensational but false news story without checking its validity."
Please author of this article be more intellectual than this.

"Whould strongly argue against this."
Yes because you see the intent(purpose) of the action taken is what matters(the end makes the means).

Also the article does not separates chronic stupid behavior by individuals and a stupid act for some reason.
Thanks for that.

My sense of the control of speech is that in the West we don't really have freedom of speech; culturally everyone is offended of different opinions and politically the West censors via finance rather than official controls. You won't go to jail, but you will lose your job, so if you don't have money...you don't have speech. It's a more elegant form of control since it costs less and is less overt. In any case, indoctrination seems to be the aim of the game more than speech; who cares if the truth is available if no one believes it. Admittedly that's just my own observations of Australia (where I live), which never had explicit freedom of speech legal protections.

How do Russians feel about the hatred that has come out of the West over the last two years, particularly from Europe/Poland (since that's my background)?

We know the meaning of the American word in Britain, but it's also not a concept here.

Germany seems very strict compared to the UK. You can be fined €10 in Germany for crossing when the red man is lit!
at that rate why bother using arch for the box? unless you never touch online multiplayer games, i can understand that it probably works for you.

It's hilarious that people actually think the publishers will ever have two hoots to give about notions like that. FWIW I agree we'd all be better off without those things but the entitlement to believe private businesses should run on your personal whims and that developers have a "duty" to make things only as you prefer is gobsmacking. I am always left in wonder what commenters like this think about themselves.
Many HN folks speak wonders about Cursor but I didn't try it yet.

It's often unnecessarily verbose. If you read a comment and glance at the code that follows, you'll understand what it is supposed to do. But the comment you're giving as an instruction to an LLM usually contains information which will then be duplicated in the generated code.
Not necessarily because they are in an echo chamber, but both languages are much younger than C++, C# and Rust. (I don't think Carbon even has a significant footprint to be mentioned by now.) I appreciate both languages but they have much long road to go, including the initial "production" version which Rust reached a decade ago.

I would love to get your feedback! If you’re interested in exploring how this app can support you or someone you know, please take a moment to check it out. Your insights will be invaluable as we work to make this tool better for everyone facing similar challenges.
> Because both the European-spec football and the baseball, despite one being heavier than the other, will hit the ground at the same time when dropped from the same height

That might be true in a vacuum and if their densities were the same, but in real-world conditions, air drag would be greater for the football since it's obviously larger and less dense, and it'll reach the ground afterwards.
My induction hob is pretty fast anyway. What are the morals of gifting it to the charity shop?
I can guarantee you there is more publicly accessible javascript in the world than C++.

Copilot will autocomplete entire functions as well, sometimes without comments or even after just typing "f". It uses your previous edits as context and can assume what you're implementing pretty well.
One of them had no emotional control at all, much like a toddler. He'd even literally lay on the ground and kick and scream when he got too frustrated or angry. The other suffered from truly crippling depression.
we've seen so many of these stories, the same narratives (which are just that. words, not actions nor plans), and no further insight on their real reasons.

What is there to say or inquire about? The human element is way more important.

>to think that a layoff is the end of the world and the absolute worse possible thing that can happen to someone.

Short of sickness or death of a loved one, I struggle to think of anything worse than losing my livelihood out of nowhere.

I guess if I owned a house and it burned down? I can insure that at least. Job insurance seems to be dead these days.

Car accident? if no one was hurt that's much less worse. I can rent a car until insurance figures itself out.

What kind of dismissal is this? Have you ever been laid off? I'm genuinely wondering what your mindset here is when you made this comment.
making multiple calls and feeding the responses back to the model.

By asking it to reconsider half its generated response, aren’t I essentially asking it to formulate the second half of its response from the first half internally? I’m bypassing the manual process of feeding in the extra prompt.

We are constantly having to tell the LLM close, but no cigar, iterate again, more or less.
> government won't ask anyone

Wishful thinking. That government hasn't asked anyone yet (at least in public information) is a miracle in itself.
I think given that the upper comment speaks about Germany not having a word for it I would guess the comment is about Germany. Where laws are the same for traffic across all of it (ignoring administrative differences).
In practice nobody steps out in front of a moving vehicle (for obvious reasons) and most people cross at the crossings most of the time because that makes sense.

In situations where there are a lot of people at the same time, like say a music festival or a sports game finishing, the police tend to manage the flow of people.
There's also https://leontrolski.github.io/33-line-react.html (2020) that does an older version of this, just for react. Had its own HN thread back in the day.
The only thing making me feel like that is your obnoxious spamming of this post. Four top-level comments now and not a single interesting thing said. Stop it, please.
Ha, and I thought LKML could be spicy!
I'm fairly sure there are more people with various accessibility needs, so we can start worrying about those once everything is fully accessible.
No I didn't ask. But Xiaomi is a big worldwide brand. It's like the Apple of China.

I was just curious how my purifier would fare in their test and was surprised not to find the brand at all. They have many physical stores here.
You can donate to neovim too ;)

I don't have much hope in anything replacing it for me. Zed does a lot right but feels very very far away and with a weird focus (from my perspective).
Plato Cave is about Epistemology itself, not specifically about LLMs. Funny that GPT connected those two things, I wonder what the prompt was...

Plato said that we cannot fully understand the substance of the world itself, because we're using only 5 senses, and measuring/experiencing/analysing the world using them is like being held in a cave as a prisoner, chained to the wall facing it, noticing people moving outside only by the shadows they cast on the wall. It's about the projection that we are only able to experience.
The Banality of Online Recommendation Culture

The thing is even bad managers can thrive in a company with a large userbase like Google. There is a lot of momentum built into product and engineering.
It’s irrelevant because reaching out to shadow banned companies does not seem like a rational thing for Google to do and and while we may dislike Google they do at least seem rational.

I initially read this article with sympathy, but something isn’t adding up
it's a ad-hoc compound word not a official German word (not in Duden)

it pretty much appears only in the given phrase and hardly anyone uses it

but most importantly is that this phrase is about crossing the street on pedestrian crossing with traffic lights while they signal that you should wait a moment

which indeed is frowned on in Germany, depending on region quite a lot

but jaywalking also refers to you "just crossing the street" at a place where there is no pedestrian crossing. Which outside of Highways, limited-access roads and similar is quite normal.

and sure if there is a pedestrian crossing just a few meter down the road it is frowned on if you don't use it
Honestly, if you want an introduction to the works of Plato, you should just play Xenoblade Chronicles 2.
It's not the money that has value, but what money can be exchanged for.

If your money can't buy you admission into university,
or property that is sold off-market and privately,
or access to off-market and privately controlled jobs,
and so on,
then your money doesn't help you at all.

Power is the real currency in an unfree market.
As in communism.
> If I'm writing "function getAc..." it's smart enough to complete to "function getActionHandler()", and maybe suggest the correct arguments and a decent jsdoc comment.

I really mean no offense, but your example doesn't sound much different from what old IDEs (say, Netbeans) used to do 15 years ago.

I could design a Swing ui and it would generate the code and if I wanted to override a method it would generate a decent boilerplate boilerplate (a getter, like in your example) along with usual comments and definitely correct parameters list (with correct types).

Is this "AI Code" thing something that appears new because at some point we abandoned IDEs with very strong intellisense (etc) ?
I saw the venom the other way. People are losing their livlihoods and I see such dismissals as

- "You shoud have saved more money"

- "oh well you'll get a better job soon" (have not seen the job market the last 2 years)

- "They were probably low performing workers anyway, they deserve it"

- "It is what it is. Business is going to business"

- "The CEO's are just doing their job"

I hate it. We can't even come together as a community, which consists of many tech workers, to empathize with our peers. No wonder we can't rise up and bring about change from grassroots.

Used, great condition M1 Airs go for ~$450 around here and will last longer than anything Intel or AMD-based for that price, whether new or used.

It's up to the USA (or New York state) to recognize (or not) foreign licences, and to decide how easy (fill in a form) or difficult (take a driving test) it is to swap a foreign licence for a local one.

https://dmv.ny.gov/driver-license/resources-for-non-us-citiz...

For example, an American driving licence can be exchanged for a Danish one if an American moves to Denmark, but a Mexican one cannot — they must take the full driving test.

I don't work at Google, but I do something similar with my code: write comments, generate the code, and then have the AI tooling create test cases.

AI coding assistants are generally really good at ramping up a base level of tests which you can then direct to add more specific scenario's to.
very interesting approach here, but i wonder if steam could provide a way to distribute this game in its current form.

maybe a generic steamos image with console-level isolation, and make the game steamos-only perhaps?

no offense, but there might be a sliver of the pie that don't like cheaters but also don't mind running something as invasive.
The specific thing I was talking about is this:

> I’ve not gotten sick from home cooking once.

How would you know that? Unless you’ve never been sick at all, I don’t know how you could say that.
But according to the article the regular desktop already has such a dedup system:

> If you put all this together, you end up in a place where so long as the client program (like /bin/cp) can issue the right copy offload call, and all the layers in between can translate it (eg the Window application does FSCTL_SRV_COPYCHUNK, which Samba converts to copy_file_range() and ships down to OpenZFS). And again, because there’s that clear and unambiguous signal that the data already exists and also it’s right there, OpenZFS can just bump the refcount in the BRT.

Did you use it in your editor or via the chat interface in the browser? Because they are two different approaches, and the one in the editor is mostly a (pretty awesome) tab completion.

When I tell an LLM to "create a script which does ..." I won't be doing this in the editor, even if copilot does have the chat interface. I'll be doing this in the browser because there I have a proper chat topic to which I can get back later, or review it.
Do you have any idea of what kind of language (what are your influences, and where do you want to innovate?) you'd like to build? For which ecosystem? In those 10* years, how much have you worked with trees and graphs (both reducing them down to other datatypes, and expanding other datatypes out into them)?

Some things that are much smaller than a language (easy études — KISS):

- a desk calculator

- a template system

- a source-to-source transpiler for a single feature

- a simple cpu emulator

- a metacircular evaluator

- an esolang

- a build system

- a regex engine

EDIT: * according to c-t.d; please use this list to aid in writing a language, not a language-learning post.

In my country we have some ridiculous newspapers that will publish any story with "may cause cancer" in the headline. So for a lot of people these stories are a boy-who-cried-wolf situation.

Precautionary principle? I'm sorry to say stainless steel may leech heavy metals into food during cooking [1]

And also silicone may leech potentially harmful chemicals into food [2]

Nonstick coatings? Teflon flu "could be a real concern" [3]

Wooden spoons are porous and can crack, making them a breeding ground for germs, and they can splinter [4] - and good luck finding a wooden spatula that doesn't suck.

So personally I don't think it's churlish to take these warnings with a grain of salt. Especially for rarely-used pieces of cookware.

I lived in an apartment in Frankfurt that still had this. The bathtub/shower was in the kitchen with just a curtain separating it (toilet with sink was in a separate room). With two roommates in the apartment, it made for some awkward moments, but you get used to it.
Data is not the only factor. Architecture improvements, data filtering etc. matter too.

are there out-of-the-box software tools to do this?

I thought about something like this before, but its non-trivial to train an image recognition system to do this, let alone the commands to mimic it through hardware, its quite an engineering feat in itself.
Yeah, I'm coming to believe that this is a much, much, much harder problem than it looks. Getting it running is pretty easy, but actually tuning the results to make them better is tricky, especially if you're not a domain expert in the area you're working on.

Evals seem like a solution, but they're very tied to specific examples, so it looks like that might be most of the issue in getting this to work, as with a good set of evals, one can actually measure performance and test out different approaches.

Embedding also seems to be a bit of a dark art in that every tutorial uses something small, but I haven't seen a lot of work on comparing the performance of particular embeddings for domain specific tasks.
A few years ago we called that IntelliSense, right?

I remember many years ago as a Java developer, Netbeans could do such things as complete `psvm` to "public static void main() {...}", or if you had a field "private String name;" you could press some key combination and it would generate you the getter and setter, complete with javadoc which was mandatory at that place because apparently you need "Returns the name.\n @return The name." on a method called getName() in case you wondered what it was for.
I doubt you believe 2% is going to save billions of lives because of a tipping point in 2049. That's another bad faith argument, but go ahead and ground all the aircraft. No skin off my back.

The reason for pointing out insignificant things is so that people aren't distracted from the significant things.

"It's complicated." So go ahead and keep everyone worrying about Taylor Swift's jet. Create a carbon tax for billionaires. Offset the emissions, or whatever. But you aren't looking at things that could actually make a difference.
That sounds like a great idea, are you going to open source that?
Wait a second—didn't Google warn its employees against using AI-generated code? (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36399021). What had changed?! Has Gemini now surpassed Bard in capabilities? Did they manage to resolve the copyright issues? Or maybe they've noticed a boost in productivity? I'm not sure, but let’s see if other big tech companies would follow this path.
So called core inflation. The figure with food and energy removed as though they were inconsequential.

Basket of goods. Government picks and chooses what it puts in the basket letting it massage the figures. Coffee was supposedly taken out of the US basket this year but I cannot find my source, only 2nd hand reports.

Electronics. The cost of equivalent TVs go down thereby pushing inflation down. Same for smartphones, computers, and so on. People are less inclined to buy when grocery bills go up 50%

"inflation is transitory". The lie of all lies because it is permanent. Economists and government mean it as the rate of change of prices, a derivative, whereas people just see inflated prices.
> They’re excellent when answering questions on topics you know nothing about, and somehow embarrassingly wrong when you actually know the answer yourself…

This just makes me think LLMs must be wrong far more often than we realize. How well can you judge the quality of a response on a topic you know nothing about?
I know, this is the standard VC playbook: First growth at all costs to get everyone into the ecosystem, then pull up the net and monetize. The latter phase is usually when all the subscriptions, value-add nag screens, data sharing agreements and other enshittification goodies pop up.

And how would it work otherwise? You can't perpetually offer a product for free (in all senses of the word) AND satisfy exponential ROI expectations at the same time.

If this is what's going on here, I'm worried what the "monetization" phase will entail.
"every engineer should have 6+ months of savings. "

I did. Even stretched it out to 9 months (getting a freelance gig out of nowhere helped). But it's been 13 months with no full time work.

>Market isn't great but our salaries can help build those savings easy.

It did not. Not everyone's making 300k at Google.

>If I had more time, I would love to understand the fss market better and also what impact ai is having there.

nothing short term, but the usual suspects come about as usual. Trendsetting from Twitter, ZIRP, tax code changes affecting how to amortize tech salaries, an anticipation of a downturn in the evonomy, and AI speculation (not really affecting tech, but other areas).

Those are each worth their own post, but this is againa topic talked about a lot . Since this has happened a lot.

And yes, this wasn't a layoff of necessity. That's the "venomous" part about it. Why Wouldn't I be mad at blatant greed?
I still have my base model M1 MacBook Air, and I never felt the need to upgrade. It never felt slow.
His brother, probably.
Your time seems to be free as well as engaging to demand "proof" wastes as much time. But yours is way more wasted as you created only a HN comment, not a proper blog article.
Maybe a stupid question, but how can I tell the difference between plastic and silicone? We use a black spatula that's flexible (shapes a bit to the curvature of what you're wiping, super convenient) and doesn't scratch the pan while not being porous like wood (where I always wonder how many bacteria live in these crevasses). It seems perfect and is being sold specifically for cooking so I assumed this plastic, if that's what it is, is safe for that. Now, reading the article, it says it's not, but then in the comments I read it may be yet another material. How can one tell what's what?
