I know SQL pretty well (enough to write complex procedures) and prefer it over doing biz logic in application code (yuck ORMs). But SQL is just such a wonky syntax that I appreciate any help that I can get.
I thought we were talking about the feeling of powerlessness? Still seems like an apples-to-apples comparison in that regard.

I would strongly consider it, for sure. If I was stopped by obvious muggers in a dangerous place, alone, then definitely. I wouldn't aim for them, and I would certainly hope they jump out of the way. But quite literally you can expect to get hurt if you play in traffic.
Non sequitur. You could say that about any high quality set of headphones since they're capable of much higher power output than hearing aids.
How is it possible that a search for "Hacker News" produces only 65 results? There are thousands of pages out there with that exact phrase on it (including many sub-pages of this site).

The first result is almost assuredly the right one, but either they're ruling out a lot of pages as not-what-you-meant, or their index is really small.
Maybe, but, I've never heard of any cases like this.

Granted, I'm only 32, have only lived in Canada for 32 years, and haven't checked to see how common it is for parents to be sent to prison for things like this.
AV companies test in winter conditions. Waymo had NYC and Buffalo deployments years ago, and they do winter testing in Tahoe and Michigan. This winter they'll do the upper peninsula, Detroit and Tahoe again.

I'm not sure what you consider "real" weather, but those are all places I think qualify by any reasonable definition.
The classic AVR instruction set does not include multiplication, you have to be targeting a device that supports AVRe+, such as an ATmega rather than an ATtiny. Try adding -mmcu=avr5 and it will show up pretty quick. Example: https://godbolt.org/z/x951M8fn8

I also don't understand the downvotes; the original post was polite and
informative, the "moderator" throwing downvotes was aggressive, and more
harm was done than help.

I have the upvote counters hidden, because I don't want to see some
misguided individual to influence what should be important for me, and
what shouldn't. I make my own filtering choices.

I wish that one day the internet will realize that upvote counters are
more harmful than they are useful, just as it realized for downvotes.
Upvotes in general promote bubbles.
Sounds about right, it's one of those charges like "obstructing justice" that is so broad the cops can throw it out when there wasn't any real crime
Yes this is correct.

Maybe in 50 years Mexicans will be honest and Europeans will be corrupt. I don't think anyone honestly thinks that corruption is inherent to anyone's genetics.

But today? It's simply the case.
It is all just about the money. Or India's government could have given a special waive. But Apple is a private company, private companies usually do things for money.

Yes, people aren't going to use a search engine that politically skews the results. It will end up as a tiny website for a very narrow niche of person, similar to eg Mastodon.
I certainly understand the sentiment, but can you think of historical examples where technology, which oftentimes in history has undermined income opportunities for people, has not been adopted for that reason? I guess I'm really asking whether there has ever been a successful effort to stop the adoption of tech that undermines human labor/income opportunity.

We're certainly in the thick of it right now. Recent high profile ones: LLMs, port automation, other types of AI for media production, I'm sure the list goes on and on.

The reason I'm asking is not to advocate for technology, but rather to understand if there have been successful efforts in the past to stifle tech. If there haven't been noteworthy ones, then my gut says we ought to be focused on how to get those people to not be left behind (so so incredibly difficult) rather than preserving something solely for the sake of people making money off of it. Like I said, so easy to say, but incredibly difficult to achieve in practice. Not sure there are great examples of people not being left behind.
To me at least, a cop arguing that it's not safe to walk around town, is a cop saying they have failed to do their job.

If our towns have actually become so dangerous recently, and that's not what the statistics say, then it seems like there's a whole other discussion we need to have. I don't think the world is more dangerous though, I think the average American has become more isolated and fearful over the past 25 years.

Very true. Unfortunately, for our management it is, well, good enough.
When I was growing up in the 70s, it was totally normal for a dad to give their under 10 year old kid some money and send them to the corner store to buy a pack of cigarettes for dad.
Can you please, for the life of me, tell me how they make those authentic amazing Totopos.

Do they have like shops where someone live fries the tortilla chips in front of you? Like authentic Totopos, not whatever Chipotle serves.

Do they dry the corn tortillas out first then fry them? Are the corn tortillas for Totopos extra thin?

That said, so many consultancies start off with his same goal in mind (to do "real" engineering without the political bullshit) and become bankrupt or bought out. I hope they don't meet the same fate.
in the woke hellscape of NYC you will see ten year olds riding the subway home from school all the time (the MTA explicitly recommends age 8 as the cutoff age for riding alone, although 12 is the more in-practice age).
You're absolutely right, apologies for that. It can be easy for me to forget that people don't have every acronym that I know implanted into their head.

Sibling comment already stated this, but I'll just say I was referring to Western Governors University. I have added an edit to the post to clarify.

I'm 43 and my parents still wave to me just like this when I leave from a visit with them. It makes me incredibly sad to know the inevitable end to this. Barring something drastic happening, my dad will likely go first. I don't know how my mom will ever handle it. They've been married since she was 19 and he was 21. I don't know how any of us will handle it.

Don't hesitate to do the things today which will otherwise become regrets tomorrow.
With the caveat that you probably shouldn't listen to me (or anyone else on here) since you are the only one who knows how much pain each choice will be ...

I think that given that you are not really dealing with structured data - you've said that different sites have different structures, and I assume even with processing, you may not be able to generate identical metadata structures from each entry.

I think I would go for one column of XML, plus maybe another column that holds a parsed data structure that represents the result of your processing (basically a cache holding the post-processed version of each site). Hopefully that could be re-evaluated by whatever language (Python?) you are using for your application. That way you don't have to do the full parsing each time you want to examine the entry, but you have access to something that can quickly give you whatever metadata is associated with it, but which doesn't tie you to the rigid structure of a table based database.

Once you know what you are really doing with the data, then you could add additional metadata columns that are more rigid, and which can be queried directly in SQL as you identify patterns that are useful for performance.
Love how this sounds.
The latter 3 all know it’s wrong, but also don’t to be liable at all.
It’s not an obsession with “USA” but with government agencies. The police but also child protective services (called different things in different locations) create these kind of sham protections. It ends up creating a chilling effect by scaring parents into acting differently and depriving their children of much needed independence that is critical to their development. But worse, when a parent gets into trouble for it, they end up being shamed and humiliated in ways that really affect their happiness and psychology. Imagine if you are told that some person from a random agency, usually of low intelligence and low empathy, will come check in on your children every week and humiliate you by forcing you to report to them. It is an inhumane deprivation of parental rights, but also an excess of government. As a taxpayer, I absolutely hate that we waste money on this type of thing when we’re in debt.
There is a wide gap between the people who understand what freedom means and value it and the ones loudly proclaiming freedom. "Reason" may actually fall into the secondary category. The way this works is by undermining the rule of regulations by finding the most ridiculous example of excess (note how the author of the article wastes no effort on finding examples where sanity prevailed stoking emotions of the reader against this extreme but rare overreach). It is important to realize the total absence of regulation promoted implicitly often leads to rule setting by the strongest and most ruthless.

> It's hard to guess what your argument is when you haven't plainly stated it.

No. It's not. Unless you are not acting in good faith.

> but that they don't matter because they are "old".

It's not that it is "old". But as I said, egg prices have come down recently in the past month. Before spiking again. Your articles can be possibly account for the egg prices rising in the spring or the summer, but it doesn't explain why prices came down in the fall... and then spiking up again.

> So, another 13M deaths (another 14.1% increase in total death count) since that May 2024 figure.

And yet the prices came down in the fall. Go figure.

> You could have done the web search I recommended and found these other links...

It's not my job to do your work.

Well you are obviously invested in it for some reason. So you are obviously "something".

Are you for real? You write like a political activist.

Once again, projecting. "If you are intentionally muddying the waters or spreading disinformation, well then, shame on you."

Wall of text after wall of text. Incredible. Have a nice day.
The severity of wounds was very different even just a hundred years ago. It was dramatically different more than some 5000 years ago.
These days mortality is heavily based on infant mortality, but 10,000 years back the statistics might be a bit different. I'm sure infant mortality was still a significant factor, but I'd also expect modern medicine elevated its significance a lot.

Why single out "more protective" as if it were a relevant factor? Surely that's a personal value, without a strong rational justification.

It's also decreased as the amount of environmental lead has decreased.

It's also decreased as the number of computer screens has increased.

It's also decreased as sugar consumption has increased. (Are parents actually being protective as they feed more sugar to their kids?)

As has our consumption of GMOs.

It's also decreased as government-mandated product, automobile, and housing safety standards have increased (which is different from parents becoming more protective!).

A rational response would be to hold off on highlighting any specific correlation until establishing that it's more meaningful than other alternatives.
Right. So, like I said, using one CPU core, you can exceed 1 TFLOP/s, leaving all the other CPU cores and the GPU free for other work.
Nice one! I’m working on an app the is user/consumer facing but will eventually have a teams/bussiness offering. Everything has a uid with it cus users are the core of your app. But yea if your multitennant then tenants should be treated like that as well.
"She kept mentioning how he could have been run over"

Seems like it would be a good idea to catch the people who are running over kids, instead of forcing them to spend their childhood in a virtual prison.
I decided to run proxmox on my homelab rather than having a k8s setup, and I've come to sort of regret it. LXCs are awesome, but being bound to just them or qemu VMs doesn't fit all of my needs. With Kubernetes I could just add support for lightweight VMs (Firecracker hypervisor, or unikernels or something) with a project like Kata. Proxmox is just not extensible.

It's also just not amenable to automation or reproducible builds in the same way as an established pod manager like Kubernetes: there's no support that I can find for Terraform, and so you're stuck with regular full-disk backups and maybe some Chef/Ansible/Puppet tooling, which I don't want to invest in [re]learning.

Still, very cool resource management and passthrough model, and it's easy to set up and maintain, with a nice control panel.

Twitter is quite small as far as big social media platforms go (about 300 million, largest individual userbase by far US citizens [1]). Compared to Telegram with a billion users and Instagram, Facebook, TikTok/Douyin in the billions the constant talking about Twitter/Elon and so forth isn't that internationally relevant.

No offense but it's mostly Americans screaming at other Americans about how important America is. It's a little bit tiresome how much headspace that site and owner occupy these days on certain parts of the internet.

I have no interest in being in a left-leaning bubble. I get both sides on X, so far. People think X has been leaning more and more to the right, but in truth it's just not being censored (sorry, moderated) anymore, leading to more right-leaning content. Leftists can't really tolerate any difference of opinion so they move to other platforms, it's sad. But I think they'll be bored and eventually come back for some more drama.
Consider deaf/mute humans. Are you saying they can't communicate at speeds matching speech?
I think in the long-run robotaxis are crime heaven. It's so easy to mug people in a robotaxi, especially when they're used like autonomous busses. Public transit is largely safe because you're in public. As soon as you put people, strangers, in a private little box with no accountability all bets are off.

I think they seem good now because you're not riding with randos. Although, randos can still trivially stop the car. But this model is unsustainable, eventually you will be riding with randos.

Not sure how long ago you did this, but just opened the app and tried to book one there and it says I can't because it's outside the service area (it shows Hollywood Bowl but in the greyed out "Results outside of service area."

I've taken a Waymo to several large events recently and usually for those it tells you when booking how far from your destination you're actually going to be dropped off or picked up. Maybe a bunch of those folks, including yourself, complained and they fixed this issue for the Bowl.
Ha! Never really thought of myself as a "mainstay" contributor, but I'll take it.

I mean, like most careers its had its ups and downs. 2023 was an exceptionally awful year for me (like many, many people in tech), but this year has been pretty alright.
I'm not saying it makes sense, but that's the idea.
I can drive to the Exploratorium in 20 mins. The BART ride is 22 mins, but it includes over 15 mins' walk at each end, meaning the total journey time is 2.5x.

This 2.5x to 3x is typical, in my experience.

If I'm on my own, it's faster to cycle than to take public transport.
Personally I have bad experience with edTech because when a student is young, he is not disciplined enough to do hard things alone or even just annoying things, and studying can be both.

So when they have an app with for example a qcm in front of them, the first times they try to do well, then they learn that if they randomely click buttons, at some point the app validate the answer, even if they didn't read the questions/answers.

So you get a group of young people that after school, just spend 10min randomely clicking on a app without any purpose, and after that they can go play.

I've got students that were from a private school, everyone was doing that, and their level was extremely bad.
undermining the income opportunities for so many people.

Don't worry. Once the novelty has worn off, the cost will probably be on par with Uber and Lyft with real human drivers --- if not higher.

The acquisition, maintenance and supervision costs for the self driving vehicles will probably consume any difference in cost.
It's interesting to me because AI and intuition serve some of the same purpose; to help the person being served find the answer. And both have similar limitations in that you need to verify what they're telling you.

- If your gut tells you it's Lyme Disease, you don't just check it off as Lyme Disease and call it a day. You run tests to find out if it is

- If the AI tells you it it's Lyme Disease, you don't just check it off as Lyme Disease and call it a day. You run tests to find out if it is

AI should (almost?) never be used as the system of record. But it can be amazing in saving time; by guiding you to the right answer.
Not OP, but I've been trying to use Copilot to help me determine how to force Android's ConnectivityService to select the network I've created as its default.

The network shows up as the default network in netd. It shows up as a network when I dumpsys connectivity, but I cannot get it to be what ConnectivityService considers default.

I'm open to changing the code within AOSP as this is a research project, but even then Copilot just has no idea what to do and it keeps recommending the same non-working "solutions" over and over again.

FWIW, I'm using Copilot Pro.

Strategic Switch to Python: Democratizing On-Chain Trading Opportunities
We launched Algo Traders Club building DeFi trading bots in Rust on Solana. After feedback from our West African developer community, we're strategically switching to Python while keeping Rust for performance-critical components. This decision reflects both technical and market realities: Python dominates the data science and ML landscape in the region, with communities like GalsenAI in Senegal already doing sophisticated ML work. Python's lower barrier to entry and rich quantitative libraries make it ideal for trading strategy development, while wrapped Rust modules handle low-level blockchain operations. Our goal is to leverage existing Python expertise in West Africa to democratize access to permissionless DeFi trading opportunities.

I loved kagi, but their cost is prohibitive for me.

The only way there is a chance for me to afford Kagi might be to buy "search credit" without a subscription and without minimum consumption. And then it would only be good if they allowed more than 1000 domain rules and showed more results (when available)
I appreciate the sentiment, but one of the things I originally liked best about Waymo was how serene they would drive. I think you're right, though, it's likely not possible in some cases for it to remain so serene especially because drivers now know they can be a bit more assertive with Waymos and the Waymo will (or use to at least!) back down. Ask me how I know!
