Definitely depends on audio quality and how closely a speaker's dialect matches the mid-atlantic accent, if you catch my drift.

How do you even "fix" loneliness? If you don't know that, you can't allocate resources. Plenty of research studies have been done on loneliness to find a silver bullet.

For most people, it's not like there aren't opportunities to meet people and talk to people. It's well understood that no matter how many people you get exposed to for a period of time, meaningful relationships can't be forced.

Plenty of lonely people in big cities going to social events.

A Short Introduction to Automotive Lidar Technology
I think its more complicated than that.

There is certainly a lingering, and I don't think unjustified, perception that recruiters prefer the desperate and the easily swayed, even if the leadership does not. This dates back to the Vietnam era, and Project 100,000.

Part of it is that middle-class as defined on that page is specifically those who are poor enough to not be able to afford college from their family's preexisting wealth, but not so poor that they qualify for need-based full-rides at most schools. So you get a lot of kids joining up for the GI bill, and not necessarily out of a surplus of innate patriotism or sense of civic duty. Not all, I'd say about 1/3 of the people I've known who served signed up specifically for the GI bill, but those that did joined the Navy or the Air Force, or they signed up prior to September 11 (one friend signed up in August of 2001, just before the start of his senior year of high school).

There's also the issue that as family income drops, the odds of meeting the entry requirements also drops. As family income drops, the odds of a having a criminal record rises (this is true for a lot of different reasons, only some of them the would-be applicant's fault). For all of their recruiting issues, the military still has baseline occupational standards. You have to be able to place high enough on the ASVAB to be admitted to your preferred branch of service, and as a standardized test, it still correlates to socioeconomic background. That is, if you're poor, you're probably going to do worse on the ASVAB, regardless of your actual aptitude.

I am sympathetic to the desire to keep recruiters out of high schools and colleges, but that's mainly because it seems perverse to me to let kids sign up to kill and die (and risk prison for trying to weasel out of it) before they're old enough to buy alcohol or rent cars. I think we should keep recruiters out of high schools and colleges for the same reason we should ban student loans: most 18 year-olds simply lack the experience and discernment to understand what they're signing up for.

Inceldom, along with most of the recent rise in extremism, is a negative, damaging manifestation of a complex process of social disintegration that is quite real. One can acknowledge the it without approving of its consequences.
The main challenge with using LLMs pretrained on internet text for transcript correction is that you reduce verbatimicity due to the nature of an LLM wanting to format every transcript as internet text.

Talking has a lot of nuances to it. Just try to read a Donald Trump transcript. A professional author would never write a book's dialogue like that.

Using a generic LLM on transcripts almost always reduces accuracy as a whole. We have endless benchmark data to demonstrate this at RevAI. It does, however, help with custom vocabulary, rare words, proper nouns, and some people prefer the "readability" of an LLM-formatted transcript. It will read more like a wikipedia page or a book as opposed to the true nature of a transcript, which can be ugly, messy, and hard to parse at times.
> For the Set example, where would the insertion order come from?

It would come from however the files were transferred from competitor computer to verifier computer.

> For the tar file, the tar file would be larger than the input file it's supposed to be "compressing".

It sure would be! I don't see how that's relevant to the filename discussion though?

> Another reason I really don't trust that to be true is that I've never seen a good way to measure who is a top performer and who is not.

I can work at a new place for a week and know who the top performers are. Their names are all over the commits, and whenever you ask someone a question, you get funneled to the top performers.

Then you talk to them. If they're open and engaging, and don't seem like they got their status just by being around forever, they're almost certainly a top performer.

Hangul made more sense the way it was originally designed - for example, ᄋ [∅] was distinct from ㆁ [ng]. It was also much more phonetic originally, but subsequent reforms have turned it into more of a morphophonemic orthography, while at the same time not updating it wrt evolution of the language other than dropping obsolete jamo (which is why vowels can't be organized quite so neatly as they used to be).
You're right, but there are a couple of key points you are missing:

1. (And this is the most important) we literally have a solution to it not being safe.

2. When things are unsafe, we (generally) make sure that people are properly educated about the risks. The people pushing raw milk are doing the exact opposite.

3. When something is unsafe, we try to figure out how to make it safe or find an alternative (see 1)
None of that seemed to dampen recruiting among my generation, whose parents fought in 'Nam. Things are a lot better for Afghanistan War vets than they were for Vietnam War vets.

I suspect it's more a cultural change than anything specific to the military. Different times, different attitudes.
Some noise dampening could work but probably won't get rid of all of the noise. You might want to look at a white-noise generator of some sort - I've recently discovered such a function on my (smart-but-now-antiquated) clock/radio. I use a rain sound but there are plenty of options out there. It does wonders for my sleep when there's a party in the neighbourhood or the pigeons are partying on my roof.
Nice, thanks for the reference!

BTW, the comparison was only to give an idea about isolation levels, it wasn't meant to be a feature-to-feature comparison.

Perhaps I didn't make it prominent enough, but at some point I say that many SQL databases have key-value stores at their core, and implement a SQL layer on top (e.g. https://www.cockroachlabs.com/docs/v22.1/architecture/overvi...).

Basically SQL can be a feature added later to a solid KV store as a base.

Cars are extremely noisy, and it's so hard to predict how loud any given address is without actually living there for a while... Beyond the obvious reasons anyway.

My current address would be perfectly fine if people drove according to the rules, but it turns out that people in this town don't adhere to speed limits whatsoever and there is literally no police control.

Consequently, the 50km/h speed limit is ignored entirely with most cars driving around 70km/h.

That shit gets loud!
Being smart, well-educated, and knowing how to program isn't good enough for creating great code. It takes experience. I've been programming for 50 years now, and keep finding ways to make code more readable and more maintainable.
From the FDA: https://www.fda.gov/food/buy-store-serve-safe-food/dangers-r...

Symptoms of foodborne illness usually include:
Vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain
Flu-like symptoms such as fever, headache, and body ache

While most healthy people will recover from an illness caused by harmful germs in raw milk – or in foods made with raw milk – within a short time, some can develop symptoms that are chronic, severe, or even life-threatening. If you or someone you know becomes ill after consuming raw milk or products made from raw milk – or if you are pregnant and think you may have consumed contaminated raw milk or cheese – see a healthcare professional immediately.

The Dangers of Listeria and Pregnancy
Pregnant women run a serious risk of becoming ill from the germ Listeria, which is often found in raw milk and can cause miscarriage, or illness, or death of the newborn baby. If you are pregnant, drinking raw milk — or eating foods made from raw milk — can harm your baby even if you don’t feel sick.

When I comment on HN topics that are related to C++, there's a very high chance that I get downvoted. Anyways I can't help it, I will comment here...

I feel it would be best for the C++ language that its development would stop. There's no way to fix its current problems. The fact that it stayed compatible with previous iterations over so many years is an accomplishment, almost a miracle, it should be cherished. Deviating from that direction doesn't make sense. Keeping that does not make sense either.
It can simultaneously be [the last thing x would suggest] and [a conclusion that an uninvolved person tasked with summarizing might mistakenly draw, with slightly higher probability of making this mistake than not making it] and theoretically an LLM attempts to output the latter. The same exact principle applies to missing the most important point.
really great to see some standards emerging. i'd love to see something like mindsdb wired up to support this protocol and get a bunch of stuff out of the box.
Personally, I don't see why anyone uses milk in any form, raw or otherwise.

After being raised to think it was somehow not just OK, but almost mandatory to consume, I stopped all milk consumption, and almost all cheese and other dairy about 20 years ago.

Maybe barely post-cave people needed it to survive, but in the modern world there is 0 reason to be consuming another species lactate.

p.s. I would rate the addition of extra growth hormones (beyond what's already at naturally high levels due to being a lactate) as the biggest long term health problem with milk, moreso than weather it's pasturized or not.
Sure! Another way you might take it is that the pointy stick is the most advanced: it started out before language, and has had considerably more effort put into modernization.

What’s weird is asking the question and just nope-ing out of the resulting conversation.
If I am walking down the street, listening to something on my earphones, I inevitably have to pause/rewind if a non-commerical car is passing by.

A few problems with this approach:

1. It brings everything back to the "average." Any outliers get discarded. For example, someone who is a circus performer plays fetch with their frog. An LLM would think this is an obvious error and correct it to "dog."

2. LLMs want to format everything as internet text which does not align well to natural human speech.

3. Hallucinations still happen at scale, regardless of model quality.

We've done a lot of experiments on this at Rev and it's still useful for the right scenario, but not as reliable as you may think.
Bah. I thought this was going to be cool passive noise reduction but it’s active.

Back in the 90’s someone figured out these little hollow beads that ate sound. They talked about how we could paint them on walls to dampen whole rooms, or things like airplanes.

Since we never heard from them again, even after the patents would have expired, I suspect that they couldn’t find a binder that adhered to the beads without filling in the holes. Or the paint neutralizes the effect.
ABI compatibility is one of those things that is necessary with such a long history, especially with commercial libraries that don't really have an equivalent in the newer languages. The issue with C++ that doesn't exist with it's competitors is that there is a long tail of software people use commercially that isn't source available that's incredibly important in certain use cases.

I worked in a previous role on C++ CAD/simulation software that required vendored things like solid modelling kernels and it was incredibly painful. Occasionally one of the vendors would just not do the work and you'd end up having to spend half a year ripping out the dependency that worked perfectly well. The team working on the software were generally in favour of moving up through to modern standards, while I was there we did 03 -> 17 for e.g. but that didn't finish til 4 years after the C++17 standard came out for all sorts of reasons. When VS2017 came out everyone breathed a sigh of relief because suddenly we didn't have to wait to upgrade the compiler.
I never needed to use select on an error channel for my use cases because at the point I operate on the error channel I want to block for completion. And I provide helpers for the desired behavior for the channel so I don't even directly receive from it. I see that some of Rill is designed to operate on continuous streams, and in that light the design decision makes sense. For my use cases though the stream always had an end.
GM sales has cratered there - a wrong product mix for a market that wants 36% EV's or hybrids hence them focusing on new EV platform and doing the new Bolt.

Syllabaries are more intuitive for humans if anything, because syllables are phonemic units that can be pronounced easily in isolation, which is not the case with standalone consonants.

The genius of Hangul is that it is an alphasyllabary, so it provides the benefits of both - regularity and human friendliness.
LLM Iterate and Insert
Those transcriptions are already done by LLMs in the first place - in fact, audio transcription was one of the very first large scale commercial uses of the technology in its current iteration.

This is just like playing a game of markov telephone where the step in OP's solution is likely higher compute cost than the step YT uses, because YT is interested in minimizing costs.
Starship as passenger transport point to point on Earth is a nonstarter most likely, even for civilian applications.

It looks just like an ICBM, because it is an ICBM. I doubt Russian and Chinese air defence forces will wait for them to land and see if it’s full of people or plutonium before launching a retaliatory strike.
This is horrible - I love it.

I did forget you could do this, though I'm fairly sure in the case of a browser (at least it used to) this will block the entire UI.
Definition of done from which source? From scrum.org, it's just the stuff that needs to be done: [https://www.scrum.org/resources/what-definition-done] sometimes it'll be heavy and ISO-9000-ish and sometimes not. It's whatever the team(s) using scrum want it to be. If the DoD is "has tests that validate X", and the tests don't exist or show that X isn't the case, it ain't done.

> But in reality, the Definition of Done doesn’t fix the broken kitchen—it just adds pressure. Scrum’s relentless sprints, rushed planning, and chaotic workflows create an environment where perfection is impossible. The DoD isn’t solving these problems; it’s just pretending they don’t exist.

So rather than worry about the DoD, worry about the burning kitchen. I don't see why this is a problem with DoD. It's a management problem to not allow time in the schedule for work other than coding.

Scrum takes its name from rugby. It is orchestrated chaos. If it's the wrong methology for the org, pick another methodology.
hear me out: I want it. It tastes nice, I'm aware of the risks and I'm an adult with the wherewithal to make that decision. I will guarantee you there's some component of your diet that fails the "not strictly necessary and adds long-term health risk" test too.
In my case the area has become a haven for warehouses, and large (18-wheel) truck traffic is up 90% in the last few years alone. I've lived here for over 20 years, and it's hard to see it change like this.
The modern age has moved the goalposts. Back in the age of symbolic AI systems you were expected to make a rule-based system that worked 100% and if it was clear from the beginning that this was going to be difficult you probably wouldn’t start the project.

Today with LLMs you have a publishable result if you do better than chance.
Indeed. This is especially the case for men who seem to have abandoned the concept of creating clubs and other male spaces to hang out, and instead of fixing that problem have merely gotten very jealous of the small communities that HAVE built spaces and clubs to the point of vindictiveness.

No kids, the "Fresh and Fit" podcast is not a replacement for what we used to have. Spending hours crying about how women are the worst is just not a productive, pro-social, or beneficial use of your time.

My impression of his original thoughts after a cursory glance is that he isn't denying the phenomenon as much as he is questioning whether "loneliness" is the right thing to focus on. And that sounds like something worth considering.
Some years ago I started doing graphs of code contributions across the year (yeah, wrong thing to measure, I know). A funny thing is that people considered "high performers" could be made the worse performers depending on how you cut the data. Basically, performance had a wave behavior, and nobody was at 100% all the time.

That is a good argument for diverse hiring: people will have bad days/seasons, fact of life. If the team is diverse is less probable that those bad days will correlate between different employees.
The Google ASR is one of the worst on the internet. We run benchmarks of the entire industry regularly and the only hyperscaler with a good ASR is Azure. They acquired Nuance for $20b a while ago and they have a solid lead in the cloud space.

And to run it on a "free" product they probably use a very tiny, heavily quantized version of their already weak ASR.

There's lots and lots of better meeting bots if you don't mind paying or have low usage that works for a free tier. At Rev we give away something like 300 minutes a month.
The short answer would be: I kept writing a code that spawns goroutines, that read from a channel, do some processing and write results to another channel. Add some wait/err groups to this and we'll get a lot of boilerplate repeated all over the place. I viewed this as "channel transformations" and wanted to abstract it away. When generics came out it became technically possible.

Surprisingly, part of my inspiration came from scala (which I haven't touched since 2014). Back then Scala had transformable streams and the "Try" typethen.
Once atproto has first party support for private records I'm definitely expecting a massive increase in interest. It would open so many doors and is probably the main thing holding back many potential use cases as of now.
Endless bikeshedding about `Pin` would be one example. I'm also not sure keyword generics are the correct way.

Show HN: Context-aware unit tests assistant
What's the problem, and who is this for?

Writing unit tests can be tedious for some developers. Current tools often fall short because they lack context, leading to inaccuracies, especially in languages like C# and Java. My solution is aimed at developers who want to save time, dislike writing unit tests, need to stick to a strict project structure, or don’t have access to tools like Github Copilot and VS Code extensions.

What sets my idea apart from other AI solutions?

My product focuses on understanding the code context better than existing solutions. It aims to generate tests that align with the current test suite, keeping consistency in patterns, naming conventions, and testing approaches, which existing tools struggle with.

Currently as a WebApp, maybe in future as an IDE extension.
