This is extremely common. Otherwise licenses wouldn't include clauses like

They're not required to fix anything, and by including that disclaimer imply that they won't necessarily even intend to fix anything. They disclaim liability, and you, the user, "ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION".

Proprietary software pretty much always has similar clauses too. It's not an issue with open-source, it's an issue with software in general.

That's kind of baffling; like, I'd have to assume that _very_ few people, even people who were generally opposed to abortion, would be okay with _that_.

I live in a country (Ireland) which only recently generally legalised abortion; before that people would normally have gone to the UK. If there had been any suggestion of the government prosecuting people who did that, never mind trying to force UK hospitals to divulge records, well... people wouldn't have put up with that. The situation as it was only continued so long because it was easy to ignore; ~no-one was ever actually prosecuted under the law, and the UK was enough of a safety valve that the human cost of the law was largely masked.

Like, doing things like this seems like a very good way to stoke national outrage and be forced to legalise it.

I had a similar but more concerning experience. I enabled family sharing (years ago when it was newer) and suddenly my spouse had access to many (all?) of MY passwords in HER keychain. I never knowingly granted access or put any passwords in a non-personal group — it just happened like magic.
This is often a problem of metrics. US-centric economic views tend to favor metrics we're really good at, but that don't matter to the average person, like GDP.

The US has an absurd GDP. But if you could compare the average American and, say, the average Norwegian, I don't think it would even be close in terms of quality of life. Particularly if we include things such as food, exercise, and education.
I had a sweet tooth as a kid. I treat candy and ice cream like a drug addict does. It can't be in the house, I won't even let myself have some on special occasions. There is a circuit in my brain completely broken by this; evil.
I'm no linguist, but the question does seem unambiguous, or quite clear, to a reasonable observer. The context is "voting in a US election" AND the subject is "an illegal immigrant" WITH an assumption that the illegal immigrant has, in fact, illegally emigrated to the US.
This isn't about the data gathered on Form 4473s for the purposes of running background checks. This is about people filling out the warranty cards that came with the guns.
It's a waste of time and resources for hotels to have me stay for ten hours during a layover. They'll need to wash the sheets, vacuum the room, and clean out the bathroom for my six-hour nap. The airport is too uncomfortable but the hotel is overkill. Pods would be a nice in-between for <12-hour stays. I wouldn't even mind if the pods were in the hotel because then I get to passively benefit from the hotel's security precautions.

> Dentists in the U.S. are often driven by profit rather than patient care

Isn't this arguably the case for any healthcare treatment in the US? It's all profit motivated and you are essentially gouged at every step of the way.
I don't know why this has to be about men and strength and cycles of violence. I think this is about value extraction. During times of plenty, we structure our economy to maximize the value, and in our current policy that means putting sugar in everything. It's what makes the most money. We don't factor in the cost, and we don't value the alternatives. We turn sunlight in to sugar in to human fat, because it makes the most money.

In war, scarcity and changes in spending priorities mean the economics changes and we don't get as much money in the sunlight->sugar->human fat chain, so we make less human fat.

I don't think this is a good idea, but I do think it is what we are doing.

But really my philosophy of it is not the important thing here, I offer it merely because, respectfully, I don't agree with your framing.
>> As someone who basically uses R as a nice LISP-y scripting language to orchestrate calling low-level compiled code from other languages

Except... this is exactly was R was created to do, with a focus on mathematical/statistical libraries written in things like FORTRAN.

R is great as a glue language for these purposes if the purpose of calling that low-level compiled code is largely to work with data and especially if that data is not so large/computationally intensive to work with that it does not need to be distributed across hardware.
I LOVE Notepad++ !!

It has served me well in those terrible times when you get a new PC at work (usually Windows) but it is so locked down by Dept of IT that one cannot load anything useful... except a few things like browser... or Notepad++

It has saved my a@@ multiple times in one-or-two large consulting companies pretending to be technically advanced.

Time for funeral homes to pivot.
Every company I've ever worked with (as a web dev) has had shitty code somewhere, usually huge gobs of it, but as far as I can tell it's never been a business make-or-breaker. It all gets refactored or completely rewritten every few years anyway, or with every new team lead or whatever. I'd say poor code quality is the overwhelming reality in small-med businesses, especially those that aren't directly in tech (i.e. not a SaaS) but still need web code for whatever reason.

It's especially bad in web. Not just Javascript, but React and its 30 state management libraries and routing frameworks, most abandoned years ago, that get coupled with npm libs from last decade and terrible patterns invented by twenty different outsourced bootcamp devs.

Javascript isn't easier to write (IMHO), but it DOES have a shit ton of employable candidates. People choose React not because it's the best, but because React is the new Wordpress and it's super easy to hire for compared to any other library, framework, or even language.

Programming (at least web dev) isn't the art it used to be. It's just another trade skill now, and companies hire commodity coders at bargain-basement prices... it's only going to get worse as more and more of it gets combined with AI generated half-working code.

Is anyone going to care? I really doubt it, as long as it lowers overall costs (and it will). Almost every company is going to choose shitty, mostly-working code if it's 2x or 3x cheaper than perfect code.
Here's my data point. Dentist has a nice office, location is kind of pricy, the staff acts well-compensated. Cleanings twice per year, Xrays once per year, and every few years a cavity filled on average.

No extra procedures recommended, but everything listed above is above average pricing. My insurance pays a percentage instead of a flat rate.

You can rent an apartment for that in lower cost of living areas. Like, 500-700 square feet. And won't have the risk of city zoning being upset about it lurking over your head, which seems to be the case here.

It seems unrealistic to try and compete with Chinese EVs at this point. Only protective tariffs and sanctions will keep them from dominating a market.

I wonder how much of the auto industry manufacturing infrastructure in the US, Japan and Germany can be repurposed for other things like drones, humanoid robots or other machines that can learn and move in the real world.

You're replacing a hypothetical situation meant to illustrustrate mathematics with something else. The monkeys don't eat, evolve, age, conspire, have agendas or agency, they type randomly as a means to invoke visual imagery of a monkey slamming it's hands down ignorantly on a typewriter. It's chaotic slamming is the "input" that gets eventually distributed in different ways, one of which, if given enough time, will be identical to shakespeare.

To add to this, all it takes is one piece of legislation or one court order for the private registry to end up in the government's hands.

Gun owners who fear a government-run registry should fear a privately-run one just as much, if not more.
The "Shortcuts" app was an acquisition and is fairly powerful as a graphical system automation app. I created a shortcut that looks up the overnight weather at my home, and determines if it needs to turn on the AC to run for ~30 minutes before I go to bed so the room is comfortably cool.
I think it is even worse: infinite instances of bogosort are 100% guarantueed to finish instantly, because we are running in parallel here and the ones that are unbounded don't matter at all when at least one of then gets it right. And given the fact that there is a non-zero chance of bogosort getting it right first try, means it there are infinite bogosort instances getting it right first try.

This is also true for the infinite typing monkeys: one of them is getting it right by chance, unless that chance is 0 (and it isn't).
XML is a much maligned and poorly understood technology. It lacks glossy pitch pages and hypemen like react.

Things like XSLT are really quite good if you can get past "ew xml icky"

You can inline different schemas in modular, bazaar like ways from a variety of sources and pull in different parsers that do different tasks.

For instance you could have, say an object subtype and pretend you, a spreadsheet developer made something compatible with it.

As the tool parsers the XML, it sees the spreadsheet, which it has never encountered however, the schema tells it where to get the parser so it dynamically loads it, passes off the subtree it doesn't recognize and lets your spreadsheet parser do its things.

It's remarkably clean and elegant clockwork for distributed modular applications.

Things like a mobile phones share feature would be a perfect use case: a wide variety of objects from different applications passing through the same schema with a share directive invoked that allows you to share in a variety of ways. XML can handle this quite magically.

I've built systems like this with XML, it just works. I was like "damn. XML... Who would have thought"

People just never learned XMLs killer features because it got a bad reputation as being the thing that out of touch enterprise Java bozos make messes with - which is true.

But that's also why JavaScript was shat on for 15 years. You gotta be adult enough to look past that. Try to separate the merits of a technology from your perceptive competency of its users.

Your event data must not be mutable.

That's kind of the first rule of any event-based system. It doesn't really matter the architecture, if you decide to name the things "event", everybody's head will break if you make them mutable.

If you decide to add mutation there in some way, you will need to rewrite the event stream, replacing entire events.
also on a webpage you would be able to filter it by available tools/knowledge
That's exactly what it is I think.
Old wooden sailing ships had masts that were somewhat retractable in that the upper spars could be removed and taken down on deck. But this isn't really practical with modern aluminum or carbon fiber masts. And it would complicate the rigging.
Do you have a patent on that idea?
There are multiple reasons why. You'll notice that I mentioned they're typically rude and self-absorbed. To me, a man, I perceive that as such. But for a woman that could be seen as aggressive.

Keep in mind also the media they might consume. I mentioned anime cosplaying in real life - and I mean it. Now, look at how anime depicts women. They're sexual objects for men's enjoyment and entertainment.

But perhaps the biggest reason is men tend to get... overly confident in male-dominated spaces. This is something I've noticed since I was a child. All bets are off in locker rooms or at the poker table or in an online game. It's an opportunity to say the vilest things imaginable.

Who's Intel?
I'm still running an Intel-based MacBook Pro from 2019, and it's trucking along just fine. It's not as fast as the M* chips, obviously, but it's still perfectly serviceable for software development. I'm tempted by the new Pro, but I don't consider it a necessity.

If I picked up a new Mini or MacBook today, I'm reasonably confident it, too, would last me five years or more.
Aperture 1.0 was very slow. The stories I could tell about its genesis...

I came on board just before 1.0 release, and for 1.5 we cleaned things up a bit. For 2.0 we (mainly I) completely rewrote the database code, and got between 10x and 100x improvements by using SQLite directly rather than going through CoreData. CoreData has since improved, but it was a nascent technology itself back then, and not suited to the sort of database use we needed.

The SQLite database wasn't "vulnerable to corruption", SQLite has several articles about its excellent ACID nature. The design of the application was flawed at the beginning though, with bindings used frequently in the UI to managed objects persisted in the database, which meant (amongst other things) that:

- User changes a slider

- Change is propagated through bindings

- CoreData picks up the binding and syncs it to disk

- But the database is on another thread, which invalidates the ManagedObjectContext

- Which means the context has to re-read everything from the database

- Which takes time

- By now the user has moved the slider again.

So: slow. I fixed that - see the other post I made.

Does Youtube show ads if you disable monetization? I feel like most conference presentation uploads don't have ads, but I also switched to YT premium last year and maybe I'm just misremembering.

Juniper (YC W21) | Senior Software Engineer | NYC | Onsite / Hybrid

Juniper (juniperplatform.com) operates at the messy financial infrastructure for US Healthcare. We've built an automated end-to-end insurance billing system for recurring care, starting with Autism clinics.

At Juniper, we’ve built an end-to-end billing system. We’ve built something really good, something that clinicians really need and love. We automate and abstract the tedious, manual, repetitive work that goes into the administrative duties of running a clinic, so that clinicians can do what they do best — providing high quality care. It starts with ingesting clinic data, and then create, validates, and submits claims to insurance providers across the country. If claims need corrections or appeals, most of the time we can handle those automatically or our CX and Operations team use our in-house internal tools. We also handle patient invoicing for co-pays, co-insurance, and deductibles (we never send anything to collections).

We are a team of ~40 with strong product market fit — in Q4 last year we’ve had to push out onboarding because engineering can’t build quickly enough, something we’ve scaled out of and will hopefully not bottleneck growth again. You’ll be working with an engineering leadership team from AWS and Stripe to get clinicians back to work delivering care for kids.

Blueberry Pediatrics | Full-stack Senior or Staff Engineer | REMOTE (US-only)

American healthcare is seldom affordable, accessible, or high-quality. We are fixing this for pediatrics. Blueberry is the most affordable option amongst our competitors. We practice the highest quality pediatric telemedicine, as evidenced by our exclusive hiring of board-certified pediatricians and the usage of at-home medical kits. And, we’re accessible 24 hours a day.

Our success is shown in the lives we save, the costs we save our insurers, and our exploding B2B and D2C business.

As you can imagine, pulling off affordable high-quality healthcare is a challenge. It requires a lot of engineering ingenuity, a C-suite aligned with positive patient outcomes above short-term profits, and a great product team.

We use Django, Hotwire Turbo (an HTMX-like framework), Pytorch, Sklearn, and Flutter. Experience in these technologies helps, but what’s more important is general full-stack knowledge, curiosity, and a strong work ethic.

My gut reaction here is that the hallucination is caused by how you [rightfully] formed the prompt. GPT has no way of reliably determining what the fourth book is, so it infers the answer based on the data provided from Wikipedia. I'll bet if you changed the prompt to "list all books by Paul Edwin Zimmer", it would be incredibly accurate and produce consistent results every time.
Many people can scan pages at the rate of a few seconds per page to pull out keywords. They are relying on the same ability to fuzzy-match the structure of a sentence, looking for the topic, beginning of a dependent clause, Personal Names, and so on. I spent far too much time doing that before we could ctrl-F everything. It's not all that reliable but it does seem to suggest people can match against text in massive parallel. And which word percolates first up to consciousness when confronted with a block of text is not random.
I miss the visualization, but IMO the biggest feature loss is the history feature. You could select any day in the past, even going back decades, and get historical weather information.

The hyper-local rain forecasts were always accurate for me with DarkSky. The "rain starting in 3 minutes, stopping in 10" was accurate. But right now, Apple Weather is telling me it's cloudy and raining where I'm at, and I'm looking outside my window to clear skies and dry ground.
