I don't mean to target your comment specifically because it's obvious you know the difference, but I'm continually annoyed by the conflation of fat and muscle as "weight," even by medical professionals who should know better.

We should not be talking about losing "losing weight" as a substitute for saying "losing fat," which is what most people mean. Likewise, when people say they want to "gain weight", they almost always mean they want to "gain muscle."

Why does this matter? Trying to manage one's health or fitness as "weight" gives (most) people the wrong idea about what their weight number represents, and what to do to improve their level of fitness and dial in on the anatomically appropriate amount of body fat. As an example, it's possible (although admittedly unlikely) for one to work hard to gain muscle and strength while reducing body fat and stay exactly the same weight the whole time. Their overall health, fitness, and longevity will be significantly improved but pop fitness will tell them that they haven't made any progress at all.

> These drugs are turning into a band-aid on the fact that it's more profitable to sell addictive, high-calorie foods in the US than foods that promote long-term health.

The food is most of it, but it also doesn't help that our environments and society don't allow for as much mobility and exercise as our bodies evolved to expect. You can't force people to sit in a chair for 8-10+ hours a day staring at screens and then be surprised when a bunch of them are unhealthy. It's more profitable if you ignore people's health and keep them in place and working on task without interruption though so here we are.

There are non-steroidal OTC supplements that are specifically anti-catabolic instead of anabolic like HMB[1], a metabolite of the amino acid leucine, and also widely used in the fitness community. Personally I have no idea which is preferable though, or whether anti-catabolism is something actually positive, as we know the importance of autophagy of senescent cells for longevity. Most of the literature I read suggests the less growth signalling, the better longevity, with the only exception being the frail elderly.

We are talking about a basement for the entire roadway if "[m]aintenance crews can just drive through in cars and do their jobs, without stopping traffic and digging out pipes," like the GGP was talking about.

SQLite itself is in C so you can use the API directly https://www.sqlite.org/fts5.html#custom_tokenizers

The text is in UTF8 bytes so any C code would have to deal with that and mapping to Unicode codepoints, plus lots of other text processing so some kind of library would also be needed. I don't know of any.
It's interesting that this law is the exact opposite of the Robustness Principle / Postel's Law.

> be conservative in what you send, be liberal in what you accept

If you are liberal in what you accept, you'd better understand the ways in which you've been liberal, and document them (at least) internally, because you're going to have to support all those ways forever, even after huge codebase changes, due to Hyrum's Law.

I try to avoid creating APIs which are "liberal in what they accept" for exactly that reason.

> And again, what about Egypt? Why aren't they being charged?

Because they are not a beligerent in the conflict, and don't even currently control the Rafah crossing; Israel took it in May. Even when open, Israel exercises control over who/what goes through under the treaty.

They're also apparently smart enough not to put out "we're gonna do a war crime" video announcements over it.

>How do you steal Open Source?

Stealing isn't just a legal concept, it also applies (among others) in a social context where you "steal someone's joke" or "steal someone's girlfriend".

With open source the social contract is that you're going to contribute to the project if it's a substantial part of your business.
Not everything needs to be computerized and completely automated. You're allowed to just... use human labor.

Sure, if every phone call requires an operator that doesn't scale. Okay, so we now have automatic routing. But having a receptionist to route company requests, which may be complex and may not map nicely, still makes sense. It's a human operator, and you pay them. So what, it's a small expense.
The hard parts of CS were never algorithms or coding, although we still like to pretend they are. The hard part is understanding and coordinating multiple, disparate systems -- each with their own rules, APIs, languages, deployments, etc.

A case in point is Microsoft's recent problem launching Flight Simulator 2024, a product where they own the front end hardware, the game studio, and the back end cloud provider. No amount of AI could coordinate and fix what went wrong there, nor even prevent it from happening.

This is the challenge in software development, and as we add more systems and layers with LLMs and RAG, the need for high-level, human understanding will only increase.

Explains why wages haven't kept pace with productivity gains. The more productive you are, the more time you have...to do more work. The people who benefit from this extra output at a disproportionate rate are of course the ownership class.

AI and LLMs will make this even worse. We'll be more productive than ever, but there's the question of how to prevent a regression in our social order when jobs disappear.

UBI? Who knows; there's been are headwinds against such policies and even productive discussion around what happens when productivity is multiplied even as head counts are ever dwindling.

I interviewed Tom Kurtz in 2017. He was so generous, and as brilliant as you'd expect. He wrote me a memo on "Grammatical Simplifications in BASIC." He loved memos--was an academic mathematician at heart, even at 89!

Keep ahead of the industry, keep up with blogs and industry influencers for trends, new APIs, patterns, etc; write tests, look at others’ code, practice good coding patterns, always ask a lead/senior to do some pairing when you’re struggling (that’s what I did to help a lot of other developers in my career), ask for feedback/temperature check during 1-on-1s.

Lots of options, some of them require swallowing your pride and putting effort in.

There are different kinds of "worth".

Many things are valuable from a monetary point of view, but largely worthless (or of negative worth) otherwise. And many other things are worthless from a monetary view, but of great value otherwise.

Why do I have to comply? Is my phone not allowed to be used while in motion or something? Or is this required just to access the infotainment system (hello, car-only phone!)?

If you're putting some kind of radio in my vehicle that tells my (and every passenger's phone) to shut off, I'm going to abuse this signal and broadcast it far more widely than any car would. And then just remove, disable, or block the radio.

> Does it get hard once multiple people/devices get in the car?

It doesn't just become difficult, it becomes logically impossible. Current, common radio technology isn't good enough to isolate the driver's seat.

Also: good luck getting any technical chain of trust to work and stay safe/secret between numerous phone and automobile manufacturers. Nobody has been able to achieve this with multi-manufacturer DRM so far - DVD, Bluray, etc. Apple is the exception with regards to key material security: auto manufacturers stand no chance, Xiaomi doesn't care, and my Google Pixel is rooted.

Before phones there were DVD playing head units in cars: parking and GPS bypasses have existed for these for at least 20 years.
Asia if you can swing it.

China used to be a great place if you were in tech. It isn't so great anymore, but there are probably still opportunities. The downside is that the internet sucks (you'll have to experiment alot with VPNs, and working solutions become non-working overnight), and pollution is still high in a lot of places where there are jobs. But the upsides: salaries are reasonable (in tech), sins are extremely abundant and not heavily taxed (well, gambling doesn't really exist). Car ownership is possible if you don't mind a n EV, but taxies and public transit are abundant so you can get by without one. You have affordable tickets to the entirety of Asia, escaping to Southeast Asia during golden weeks is relatively affordable.

If I wanted extra lines, I'd probably use my monitors in tall mode. I mainly just don't want to think about line wrapping at all, that's the optimization for me.

I also tend to work on a single file at a time versus trying to view multiple files side by side. But when I do want to do that, I'm not trying to work on a laptop monitor, so I have 2 monitors for that use case.

The white space I have available but typically don't use, simply doesn't bother me. I like some white space, I'm not seeking out density as some productivity hack, I can tab to another file when I want to see it, seeing them both at same time isn't a huge requirement of mine.

It sounds like you have a job that has you frequently doing code jams on a tiny monitor (why? you got pulled into someone's office? you coding on a train?) so this works for your normal situations. You're not understanding that I avoid those situations. I code from a desk with a full setup or I don't code, I take notes about what changes need to be done when I get back to coding.
I once sped up a very suboptimal routine that from ~100s to ~.1s (it was doing database lookups in a for loop), and that broke the reporting system because the original author had made several asynchronous function calls and assumed they would have all finished running by the time the (formerly) slow routine was done. Figuring out exactly what happened took forever.

Show HN: An AI that reliably builds full-stack apps by preventing LLM mistakes
Hey HN! Previous CERN physicist turned hacker here.

We've developed a way to make AI coding actually work by systematically identifying and fixing places where LLMs typically fail in full-stack development. Today we're launching as Lovable (previously gptengineer.app) since it's such a big change.

The problem? AI writing code typically make small mistakes and then get stuck. Those who tried know the frustration. We fixed most of this by mapping out where LLMs fail in full-stack dev and engineering around those pitfalls with prompt chains.

Thanks to this, in all comparisons I found with: v0, replit, bolt etc we are actually winning, often by a wide margin.

What we have been working on since my last post (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41380814):

> Handling larger codebases. We actually found that using small LLMs works much better than traditional RAG for this.

> Infra work to enable instant preview (it spins up dev environments quickly thanks to microVMs and idle pools of machines)

> A native integration with Supabase. This enables users to build full-stack apps (complete with auth, db, storage, edge functions) without leaving our editor.

Interesting project as an example:

https://likeable.lovable.app – a clone of our product, built with our AI. Looks like a perfect copy and works (click "edit with lovable" to get to a recursive editor...)

Going forward, we're shipping improvements weekly, focusing on making it faster, even more reliable and adding visual editing experience similar to figma.

If you want to try it has a completely free tier for now at lovable.dev

Would love your thoughts on where this could go and what you'd want to build with it. And what it means for the future of software engineering...

The... Insurance of whoever is responsible? I know this concept is weird to the US, but personal insurances in Europe are about covering the damage you inflict on others first, then eventually you. They're also mandatory. In addition, well, a broken arm is not a financial catastrophe in Europe. Should it prevent you from doing your job, the insurance also covers that.

The other thing is conflation between health and fitness. If you are below overweight range, no matter where you are, loosing additional fat is unlikely to make you healthier.

At some level of fat, which is actually more then "thin", you are perfectly fine. Further weight loss is about aesthetic or athletic performance, but has zero effect on health or even slight negative estimated health effect.

Generally I think modeling in the computer without proper detail in measurements and geometry is error prone.
I will normally capture a 3D point cloud (can use a Kinect for this) and perform a geometry scaling, then use AI to map it into 3D surfaces compatible with CAD. This will take 1-2 days to model. Then I manually model all the elements in minute and exactly detail. Finally, after all the work is done, I assess the coloring of the cabinets to see how I feel about green vs. chartreuse paint, on a high-end monitor typically used by radiologists to assess human disease. Some people ask why not just hold a color ribbon up to it to get an idea, I say that's a waste of time, not enough.
