Claude wrote the harness and pretty much all of these tests, eg:

https://github.com/williamcotton/search-input-query/blob/mai...

It is a good test suite and it saved me quite a bit of typing!

In fact, Claude did most of the typing for the entire project:

https://github.com/williamcotton/search-input-query

BTW, I obviously didn't just type "make a lexer and multi-pass parser that returns multiple errors and then make a single-line instance of a Monaco editor with error reporting, type checking, syntax highlighting and tab completion".

I put it together piece-by-piece and with detailed architectural guidance.
Should roads exist at all, given that the gas tax doesn't cover the costs of building and maintaining roads?

And furthermore since Bay Area roads are not toll roads, the equivalent of farebox recovery ratio is zero, since road users don't need to pay to drive on the road.
(to be fair, there's nothing in my system that starts with zq so at least tab completion will be easy)
I can use DXO Photolab or Capture One Pro or even ON1 Photo Raw or Skylum Luninar instead of Lightroom.

I don't know why the parent comment was flagged dead, but I was typing this reply when it happened:

I'm willing to pay, but I rarely use it, so the price I'm willing to pay has to reflect that, and Adobe is not going to come down that low.

So I will continue to keep an old Windows laptop around with the sole purpose to run Adobe CS6 the maybe 8 times a year when I need it.
Plain Old Recipe: takes online recipes and removes the cruft.

https://www.plainoldrecipe.com
https://github.com/poundifdef/plainoldrecipe

Things I want to do:

1. Improved print-friendly format
2. Ability to format to arbitrary sizes (for example, format for index cards)
3. Smarter layouts. For example, if a recipe says "add the chicken stock" in a step it would be great if it could identify how much ("1 cup") like some apps do.
So the ARM v. Qualcomm litigation and the business moves preceding it seem to basically be hardball license contract negotiation via lawsuit. Qualcomm is by far ARM's largest customer and the ARM license is fundamental to Qualcomm's CPUs. Neither can really afford to live without the other but for both, significant business and strategic value is tied to getting more per core (ARM) or paying less per core (Qualcomm).

I suspect that eventually they'll end up settling with each other once the court case gets to a point that narrows the probable range of the outcome (thus creating the approximate upper and lower boundaries to negotiate within).
I still have nightmares about the entry level EE class I was required to take for a CS degree.

Right, so there was a flawed implementation. Even if you had democratic consent to "implement a utilitarian organ matching mode", that would not prevent this failure mode.

So what is the governance and oversight framework for ensuring democratic consent from ideation to implementation to monitoring, and how does it differ from what the UK did? The article points out that there were multiple reviews of the algorithm that identified this bias all the way back in 2019. What is the process that connects that feedback with the democratic process to ensure that flawed implementations never deploy, or are adjusted quickly.
It's placebo effect all the way down
Yeah, you basically need to launch a new one for every target you want to image.
Flip the issue to something less polarizing and it should appear this is a very separate scenario from what GP is talking about (even if perhaps you still don't agree it should be malpractice for some reason):

1) You go in after feeling confused and have a headache after falling from a skateboard with no helmet. The ER sends you home not having checked anything or any notes to watch out for because they think you're too young to have problems from a fall (despite many young people having problems after a fall each year). At home you die because of a brain bleed.

vs.

2) You go in after feeling confused and have a headache after falling from a skateboard with no helmet. The ER runs some tests, sees the problem, and prescribes the best course of treatment given this information. Despite this you still die or have lasting effects on your brain.

Despite the doctors not fully remedying your problem in both situations only situation 1 involves negligence for a malpractice claim because the problem isn't the outcome, it's the quality of treatment not meeting the minimum levels. Flip the scenario specifics back and what GP is saying is that it isn't considered negligence to say "you're under 40, you're fine, go home" instead of "you could seriously be having a problem. We should put you on a statin and talk over the risks/symptoms of a heart attack" because the standard of care (sort of one measurement for what's a negligent treatment action) says the calculator defines the appropriate treatment and the calculator doesn't even work for those <40. What GP is not implying is doctors are negligent just because you still had a heart attack anyways.
why cant the headline be a real sentence?

YC doesn't care whether it "makes sense" to use an LLM to design chips. They're as technically incompetent as any other VC, and their only interest is to pump out dogshit startups in the hopes it gets acquired. Gary Tan doesn't care about "making better chips": he cares about finding a sucker to buy out a shitty, hype-based company for a few billion. An old school investment bank would be perfect.

YC is technically incompetent and isn't about making the world better. Every single one of their words is a lie and hides the real intent: make money.

Oh yes.

I had a discussion with a manager at a client last week and was trying to run him through some (technical) issues relating to challenges an important project faces.

His immediate response was that maybe we should just let ChatGPT help us decide the best option. I had to bite my tongue.

OTOH, I'm more and more convinced that ChatGPT will replace managers long before it replaces technical staff.

I know it's not the Apple approach, I'm just pointing out an interpretation that it isn't particularly focused on end user needs in this area.

I feel like it's mostly an attitude about where to focus engineering resources, which is very "inside baseball", but people have post hoc justifications that it's really what end users want anyway.
Sounds like another recycling nightmare to me. To the endless stream of electronic thrash come radioactive materials polluting everything for hundred years. The use cases do not convince me either. Why eternal battery when cheap electronics will fail earlier anyway.

The title is kind if correct though. This title is actually what is being implied in the country by this fatwa. And this statement is actually brought by tye current government (military?) who absolutely hates the disrespect/memes its facing on Internet by overseas Pakistanis.

They are almost openly abducting people running Facebook pages which are mostly memes against the government. One could say government is trying to curb all propaganda against itself using absolutely any means since khans ouster.

Is that a surprise? They're not who I would think of first as a gold standard for high viewership live streams.
I think the dilemma here is trying and failing. Many of us tried the open source alternatives and failed, there's nothing really useful to say about that. It might just be a failure on our part, i.e., someone else with a better approach might succeed. But what you really need is someone who's an expert in Photoshop, to move to an open source alternative and succeed and then weigh the advantages, and this needs to happen in aggregate to start getting a real sense of what the difference are. Note that I don't think even the commercial Affinity apps have crossed this bar, so it's nothing against open source, it's just photo editing at the high-end is just a one-tool market. Contrast this to Final Cut Pro X vs. Premiere vs. DaVinci Resolve, where you can find countless comparisons of the individual advantages of each of those platforms, that's a market with healthy competition and options. Same with DAWs, same with 3D packages.
And they’re listening on AirPods or whatever stuck on their ear. I have AirPods 2 Pro and sure, they sound nice. Less sweaty on the treadmill. But even a $100 DJ headset from a $200 streamer blows it away.

> Putin is far from perfect and modern Russia has many trends I'm deeply unhappy with. But the fact is that every alternative suggested by the West or its puppets is immeasurably, inconceivably worse.

No, it's not a fact - it's a lie that forms the cornerstone of Putinism ("no alternative to Putin"). The struggles you describe were not unique to Russia, but to the entire former USSR and its satellites. The entire Eastern Bloc stood in the same starting position in 1991 and went through the same transformations. Countries like Poland or Estonia succeeded and are now proper first world contries, whereas Russia failed and is rapidly regressing into a stereotypical third world banana republic.

A key in Russia's failure is unwillingness to face its history. The USSR was not a beacon of human achievement, but a prison of nations held together only through violence. It disintegrated not because of malicious external scheming, but because of utter internal mismanagement and rotting that led to it being unable to feed its people. Despite immense oil and gas reserves, it suffered fuel shortages and apartment buildings went entire winters unheated in the end.

The 1990s were the endgame of stagnation that had set in decades prior. It was a disaster of your own making.

And as much as Putin is obsessed with complaining how Gorbachev destroyed the USSR, it's a great irony that with international isolation, sanctions, broken economy and pointless wars (then Afghanistan, now Ukraine), Putin has recreated the conditions that led to the 1990s. Gorbachev inherited the mess and tried to fix it, while Putin created it again from scratch. If you wanted Russia to squander its potential and get stuck in a self-destructive loop as rest of the world steams ahead, you could not have made a better pick than Putin.

Imagine where Germany would be if instead of focusing on economic development (Wirtschaftswunder) and cooperation (European Union and its predecessors), they had picked some Gestapo middle manager as their leader by 1960, began justifying suppression of freedoms with disillusionment from the difficulties of post-war years, and launched a massive war against France in a futile attempt to turn back time and restore the Third Reich at its widest extent and get back submarine bases on the Atlantic coast while yelling about the French having some communist resistance figure as their national hero. Certainly not a top economy in the world and a respected partner in international relations with a large circle of influential allies.

There is indeed a difference in inputs. For some obscure reason, Russians cannot even imagine their country developing on a normal path like Germany, the Eastern Bloc, and so many others.
Still Mac only?
I mean, maybe? You just made all this up.
"Wellness farm" might be an even better euphemism than "re-education camp".
This is true, if you're billing your hypothesis as a hypothesis. The problem is that prominent Republicans billed their "election was stolen" hypothesis as a fact, claimed to have boatloads of evidence in order to convince the public, and then never published that evidence.

In the aftermath of this clearly deceptive behavior, they've maintained the support of Republican voters who still believe the lie despite none of the evidence ever being released.

It's one thing to claim something is true and that you have evidence, then release the evidence and find out that it's insufficient to win in court. It's another thing entirely to make a claim, say you have overwhelming evidence to support it, and never release any evidence at all. In the former case, maybe you got overzealous or maybe you were dealing with an unsympathetic judge. In the latter, the only rational way to interpret the situation is that you were intentionally misleading your audience.
What about truncating a hash of the whole public key? (what's what I'd assumed was happening already)
I wonder how localized the issues were. I watched the Taylor/Seranno fight and the Paul/Tyson without issue and the picture quality was the best in every seen for live sports. Was blown away by how good it was. No where near what I’m getting with steaming NFL. This is what I want the future of live sports to look like. Though the commentary was so so.

I’m in the Pacific Northwest. I wonder if we got lucky on this or just some areas got unlucky.

Why is there a need to present a fake "balanced" perspective on every such topic or person. At least on a forum like this it should be ok to call out pseudoscience and straight up quackery.

Also just because some information is gleaned from corporate media, doesn't make it wrong. Facts and analysis can stand on their own.
Not really but I'm always curious of the ingenuity when it comes around such laws.

Just like the Catholic Church declared beavers are fish so they could be consumed during Lent in Canada in the 18th century because other food was hard to come by in winter there.
But this would "just" reduce the power of the study and not increase bias, right? It's effectively turning it into an intention-to-treat design.
It's limited to 2 VMs because Apple's software license agreement for MacOS: https://www.apple.com/legal/sla/docs/macOSSequoia.pdf

to install, use and run up to two (2) additional copies or instances of the Apple Software, or any prior macOS or OS X operating system software or subsequent release of the Apple Software, within virtual operating system environments on each Apple-branded computer you own or control that is already running the Apple Software, for purposes of: (a) software development; (b) testing during software development; (c) using macOS Server; or (d) personal, non-commercial use.

Apple just really doesn't care about you, and as a developer, you're just a sucker to extract money from.

Amazon had their fair share of livestream failures and for notably less viewers. I don't think they deserve a spot on that list. I briefly worked in streaming media for sports and while it's not a novel problem, there are so many moving parts and points of failure that it can easily all go badly.

Show HN: How Difficult Is It? A website for rating game difficulty
I created a website/app for rating the difficulty of video games. Difficulty is subjective and I was tired of solving the riddle of the sphinx every time I wanted to know if a game was difficult or not. Individual comments on reddit, twitter, or a steam page are not easy to gauge. You don't know the prior gaming experience of any individual player. I'm hoping that with enough volume, aggregate ratings will give a much better picture of a game's difficulty.

I live in an apartment building and was given a fob that opens my apartment garage door and doors in the building. The fob takes specific lithium coin batteries and lately has been acting worse, I practically have to replace the batteries every day to use it. I had my Flipper Zero read the signals (the fob does one for garage door, one for the other doors) and I now use that to get into my building. Instead of having to buy two new lithium coin batteries every day, I just have to charge my Flipper Zero every few weeks. I heard the Flipper Zero had other uses, and I did scan some other things with it, but I got it in the hopes that it could handle my garage door, and it does.

I had a heart attack at 35, despite not really having other risks. A sibling who had a heart attack is the biggest risk factor, but later my sister did not qualify for a study on heart attack risk because she was only 39.

My ER notes literally say “can’t be a heart attack but that’s what it looks like, so we’ll treat it as one for now”, which is a little unnerving.

I worked on the Qualcomm DSP architecture team for a year, so I have a little experience with this area but not a ton.

The author here is missing a few important things about chip design. Most of the time spent and work done is not writing high performance Verilog. Designers spent a huge amount of time answering questions, writing documentation, copying around boiler plate, reading obscure manuals and diagrams, etc. LLMs can already help with all of those things.

I believe that LLMs in their current state could help design teams move at least twice as fast, and better tools could probably change that number to 4x or 10x even with no improvement in the intelligence of models. Most of the benefit would come from allowing designers to run more experiments and try more things, to get feedback on design choices faster, to spend less time documenting and communicating, and spend less time reading poorly written documentation.

Great article. Thanks for writing it all up. A followup article on deliverability would be helpful as many people seem to only have a surface level understanding of the difficulties of deliverability.

With bigger and more expensive email providers like Mailchimp, you're ultimately paying for higher deliverability.

For startups just getting going with waiting list signups and newsletters, there are a few basic rules to staying out of the spam folder and Promotions tab.

1. Make sure SPF, DKIM and DMARC are setup properly

2. Always "warm up" a new domain and outbound email address

Double opt-in where people have to either reply (highest signal) or click to confirm their email address tremendously helps warm up email. It's also important to slowly ramp up send volume over a few weeks or months and then keep send volume relatively consistent.

3. Consider using a warm up service that auto sends to and replies from an existing pool of recipient email addresses. It can help land your emails in the Primary inbox.

4. Watch out for shared IP addresses that end up on blacklists. If newsletters and emails are important to your biz growth, it's worth getting a dedicated IP address. Just be sure to warm it up properly.

5. Watch out for spam trigger words. Crypto, supplements, etc. It's an ever evolving list of words and phrases that bump up spam scores. Tools like https://www.mail-tester.com/ are useful for checking email config and spam scores.
