Hey friends
I’ve been working on Meetcode, an exciting new platform for real-time coding collaboration. Think of it as your all-in-one coding workspace where you can:
Collaborate live with your team or study group.
Use built-in real-time audio chat to stay connected while coding—no more juggling between Zoom and your editor!
Track tasks with an integrated to-do list (because who doesn’t love crossing things off?).
Run and debug your code instantly in a customizable coding environment.
Meetcode is lightweight, intuitive, and focused on productivity without distractions. It’s perfect for:
Coding with friends.
Hosting hackathons.
Pair programming.
Teaching or learning how to code.
It’s still in its early stages, so I’d love for you to check it out and share your thoughts! Whether you’re a beginner, a pro developer, or just someone curious about new tools, your feedback means the world.
https://code.meettum.com/
Let me know what you think! What features would you love to see in a coding platform like this?

It sounds like a disaster. Trunk-based deployment does not imply such an extreme degree of instability, because all development may happen on other branches. I see what you're trying to say though. I think the real keyword is "continuous integration."
Subsistence farming without using modern amenities is a whole different ballgame from the sorts of farms in the article.
Yep, that one
Could be useful, if this was 2000s. These days don’t even need to hack the victim. They proudly give it all up via social media. Talk to a person long enough and they will spill every detail about their life. Routine, job, social life, deepest desires.
Like most articles on American farming, this article doesn't actually specify what constitutes a farmer[0]. Oftentimes, "farmer" is used to refer strictly to the people who own arable land, not the people who actually work the land. In this context, the word "farmer" would be more akin to a farm landlord, in which case working a second job would not be surprising. Or to put it another way, for them, farming would be better described the second job - a source of passive income that supplements the income from the primary job.

The language used in this article and the accompanying USDA report implies (though does not explicitly state) that it using this common definition of "farmer" - that is, referring strictly to the person, family, or corporation that owns the land, but not to any other laborers who work the land.

This problem extends to most public discourse about farming and the politics thereof. Unfortunately, many folks have a very inaccurate picture of how agriculture works in this country, and the way it is discussed is a big component of that.

[0] The USDA is similarly inconsistent with this language in its own reports, which only exacerbates the problem.
> The trend is for pop-materialists to lose the ability to discern between the two.

Given that flat earth apparently crossed over from being one to being the other, perhaps they're right to not make a distinction?
It's kind of a freaky sound, yes, but seems to me that we wouldn't react like this if it wasn't called a skull whistle. Like, if it were sculpted like a puppy and called the Aztec Doggie Whistle.
How much of this is because of hobby farming and kids inheriting the family farm?

Going back a couple hundred years, ~80% of the population was a "farmer". But by any standard, they had "multiple jobs".

I.E., they were doing a lot more than just growing food to sell.

You probably had a sweet spot somewhere between the 20s and 60s where you didn't yet have mega farms, but also <20% of the population was a "farmer" - so you could actually make a living off that.

Now, most of those farms have been sold off to mega farms or handed off to kids that don't really want to be a "farmer".

With the mega farms came efficiency, and if you're trying to be an inefficient small farmer, you're going to have a bad time competing. Hence, the need for a second job.

Anyone under 30 trying to compete with a mega farm is like some solo developer trying to build the next Google.

It's never going to happen.

Either you're doing it as a "hobby", or you REALLY want to farm.

Technically, Python typing is more verbose than Java because it uses more tokens. Compare these:

Python: def foo(x: int, y: int) -> int: return x + y

Java: int foo(int x, int y) { return x + y; }

Python uses colons and arrows while Java uses positions to encode where the type should go.

Do I detect a hint of cynical sarcasm?

You have summarized the marketing strategy of the majority of recent startups.
Sounds like a fancy way of saying "Mr. Musk actually spends time on the factory floor. And had a good understanding of both the product, and how it's produced".

It ain't hard to massively out-perform 99.9% of America's post-1970 "professional" managers, consultants, investment bankers, etc. ... so long as the game's "To Win" conditions require real-world delivery of seriously difficult real-world products.
I'm sorry do what now? You couldn't start a vehicle fire on a bet if you soaked the wheel wells in brake fluid and held the brake pedal to the floor from that vehicle's top speed. You want to start a car fire with brakes that takes the kind of abuse only seen under track conditions combined with a fuel leak, oil leak, or both. So nah, why tf did this vehicle catch fire?
>Trump received the majority of casted votes.

Majority: (n.):[0]

a majority of voters

a two-thirds majority

N.B.: Donald Trump received 49.9% of total votes cast. That is (by the American definition -- we don't follow your rules) a plurality, not a majority.

Feel free to quibble about whose definition is correct. I'm sure the King will richly reward you for defending his English.

Farmer will be just a fucked if the power goes off and doesn't come back on. Obviously not all of them but they are by no means just going to survive something like that.
I’m trying to remember the name of a UI control that could be backed by something like this. It was a sequence of thumbnails laid out in a row like a film strip. (For all I know, that was what it was called.)
You're not technically wrong but using the 3 numbers this way is in fact going to create problems for people trying to use this info. It means that you can never know if any version is compatible with others, and even if they were you could not easily link it.
I have this one and love it. The M1 would have been worthless to me anyways since I wanted 1 laptop to run MacOS and Windows. Unfortunately I think this is the last Mac I’ll be able to get because of the transition.

My understanding is that a chip design for one fab isn’t portable to another.

That's often how it goes. The market starts out with lots of small businesses, but over time it ends up up with a few giant companies. Economists call it industry consolidation. There are some interesting nuances at the beginning and the end of the "consolidation curve" [1].

We launched PromptBros.ai 4 months ago, and it’s been an exciting journey with lots of bumps along the way.

Our mission is to build a platform that makes Multi-AI simple. We have a vision, but the landscape changes quite fast.

And most importantly, we’re still trying to figure out what matter the most to AI users.. so I've come and ask this community for help.

And tbh, even though there are plenty of "AI expert articles" out there, we think nothing beats crowdsourcing for real opinions from real users.

So how do you try it?

1) Sign up is free and you get some credits to explore our main features (library of content, desk for creation, and your personal AI content stage) - and feedback please ;)

2) There is a paid version with more customisation features - we’re running ICP calls with early subscribers to find out what they need (just message us and get some extra credits as well).

3) And if you have cool use cases to share and promote your content, we're looking to expand our blog.
Just ping us via app @ https://promptbros.ai/dashboard/support.

Looking forward for everyone's thoughts, critiques, or ideas. And hope you enjoy exploring AI in a new way.

Thanks so much for reading!
Some of it is to identify "wins" that are less than a launch, often involving new learning, experience, or practice.

For example, I have a lingering inactive car project, where I can still say I learned something about poking around with a multimeter, disassembling car parts, soldering, Arduino chips, and CAN buses.
Ok, I'll need coders after the apocalypse and you can't just make someone a laborer that hasn't done that their whole life, that's not how that works. No gym fit is farmer fit enough.

Car hits something hard, deforms the bodywork, compromised wiring which causes electrical shorts which create heat, which then causes a fire.

The battery pack doesn't need to be compromised to allow this, and even a fault in the LV system will do it. Electrical fires take out ICE vehicles every day.

Most ICE vehicle fires are caused by electrical faults or oil leaks. Oil leaking onto a hot exhaust obviously isn't a factor in an EV, but nothing has really changed with respect to the electrical threat. On modern vehicles, fuel doesn't usually become a factor until the vehicle is well alight.

For most of its history, nearly everyone in the USSR was a farmer, so not proletariat and not communist.

The first few paragraphs on how the movie is about a person remembering important episodes of his life got me curious and gave me Butterfly Effect vibes (good), but reading further down I started getting Mulholland Drives vibes (not good).

Bull.

Cloudflare protects these organizations. Cloudflare goes far above and beyond what most other companies do, and I personally can't wait to see Cloudflare held liable for content they host for which they ignore legitimate complaints.

Imagine if I were to call your phone every hour, on the hour, and my position was that it's not illegal until someone reports it as a crime and the police or a court contacts me to tell me to not do it. That's Cloudflare. They're assholes, and insisting that they're not responsible for anything, any time, until there's a court order is just them being assholes.
So responding to you and the parent post both...

I have my own thought and also one in response to the "taking a photo" type tasks.

I'd like a drop down of some tasks I predefined, so I can answer with one of those.

Things like "answering a message" that I can choose instead of entering one. There is occasionally one message with 3 choices, I think, about how this aligns with my goals. So something like that but user defined.

Second thing, maybe a couple of those options could be tied to app launch so clicking it takes you to the common task. For example, "Taking a photo" could drop me right back into the camera app.

Great app, I've been using it all day and just doing so is insightful. And glad this comment chain led me to the "cooldown" function.

Yes, although it sounds like Preston has / is / will be at risk from developers that own the land and want to build apartments.

The thing about markets like this is that once they're gone, you can never get them back again. My home town, Wellington, shut down the markets at some point in the distant past and have been trying to restart them in the more recent past to little success (think a bunch of cars parked in an uncovered car park trying to sell vegetables).
I really liked Zitron’s interview with Adam Conover a few months back, it was a much more conversational version of this same overall premise.

I wanted to like this, but it fell really flat for me. He led with emotion and came across as bitter and angry, meandering around several examples and calling Facebook execs perverts. Those accusations could very well be true, but it always makes me question the legitimacy of the speaker because that’s such a common cheap shot in politics nowadays and it distracts from his main point.

I think we need more folks like Ed using their platforms to call out what they see because I think he’s right overall.
Taking out your frustrations on the hardware isn't part of any hacker ethos I'm familiar with. I guess times have changed.
What is wrong with The Abyss? The theatrical release was fine. The extended addition with the 5 minute video montage of the aliens preaching to Bud that humans are destructive seemed like the only bad thing to me but that wasn't in the theatrical release.
Farming is one of the most subsidized industries in the US. With the rampent belief that subsidies destroy other industries and are 'socialist' maybe the experiment should be made to remove subsidies for mega farms (not small ones) to see if it could correct this problem.

> Please tell me that "subdivision" here doesn't mean residential development.

Probably. I can't speak to the person quoted in the article, but for many owners of agricultural land, selling to developers for building tract housing is actually the goal. Farming is treated as a capital business, not a labor one, and any profits from agriculture are the intermediary dividends paid out while waiting for the land to appreciate enough to be valuable for another purpose (usually suburban housing developments).
Have kids. They will use the shit out of it.
"differs fundamentally", being in the tense that it is, with the widely known context that AI is "modeled after the brain", definitely does suggest that oh no, they got the brain wrong when that modelling happened, therefore AI is fundamentally built wrong. Or at least I can definitely see this angle in it.

The angle I actually see in it though is the typical pitiful appeal to the idea that the brain is this incredible thing we should never hope to unravel, that AI bad, and that everyone working on AI is an idiot as per the link (and then the link painting a leaps and bounds more nuanced picture).
I think it's more of the local authorities.

I was once on a drive from LA to SF along CA-1/Cabrillo Hwy. I got as far as Ragged Pt, where the road was closed due to a landslide further up. It had been closed for six weeks. There were no signs announcing this anywhere on the way.
Seems like it. Seems like it does basic twitter scraping and correlates account activity with idea validity? I have no idea.

I agree that writing type hints can be painful, especially if you are starting with a large code base that is mostly untyped. You might consider using RightTyper (https://github.com/RightTyper/RightTyper) - basically run your Python 3.12+ program with it, and it will add type hints to your code. It’s fast, basically automatic, and by design RightTyper avoids overfitting to your types, letting a type checker like MyPy surface edge cases. In effect, the type checker becomes an anomaly detector (Full disclosure, I am one of the authors of RightTyper.)

From the GitHub page:

RightTyper is a Python tool that generates types for your function arguments and return values. RightTyper lets your code run at nearly full speed with almost no memory overhead. As a result, you won't experience slow downs in your code or large memory consumption while using it, allowing you to integrate it with your standard tests and development process. By virtue of its design, and in a significant departure from previous approaches, RightTyper only captures the most commonly used types, letting a type checker like mypy detect possibly incorrect type mismatches in your code.

Smithfield features quite heavily in “Great Expectations”. Dickens hated the place. He subscribed to a theory that a city needed good circulation, which meant that things that obstructed traffic were considered bad, and Smithfield was hugely stationary and snarked up everything around it.

Of course, he had no concept of the circulation of money as being interesting and important to the “health” of a city, but most economists since Marx do.
> They believed their writing was gifted to them by the Gods.

This is an essentially universal belief in the past, and not just about writing. People are able to notice that their lifestyle depends on technologies, and that the only way to learn those technologies is for someone else to teach you. So they decide that the technologies on which their lives depend - pressing olives, farming grain, writing, harvesting wool*... - were taught to their ancestors by the gods.

In the case of writing specifically, the ancient Greeks attributed it to Cadmus, who was not personally a god. But (1) he was a hero with descent from Poseidon, (2) Greek heroes receive prayers and sacrifices and grant supernatural blessings just the same way gods do, and (3) they credited him with introducing writing from Phoenicia, not inventing it out of whole cloth.

It's a bit confusing, but there's both "ROCm" and "ROCm on Radeon" releases. Despite what seems to be implied by the names, the standard "ROCm" releases support both Radeon and Instinct GPUs. "ROCm on Radeon" seems to be ROCm as packaged and released by the team that does "Radeon Software for Linux" instead of by the original ROCm packaging and release teams.

It looks like most American farmers don't want socialism (looking at the recent elections). Why is socialism, collectively protecting farmers, OK? Shouldn't we instead implement the ideology that America voted for and actually start dismantling the socialism inspired protections that are in place?
It means big movie studios simply wait for small authors to give up and then release adaptations without royalty payments.
> Cloudflare goes far above and beyond what most other companies do

Is this reflective of Cloudflare, or instead reflective of other companies’ willingness to play judge, jury, and executioner?

I like knowing my business on Cloudflare won’t be subject to extrajudicial punishment regardless of the grounds.

> They're assholes

Hum, the ending had to be remade after first screenings, and even as-is, it's subject to critique by many, diminishing the value of the entire film. (I recall it even being laughed at. I guess, audiences may have become more tolerant, since.) It may have done better with a more abstract solution, as well.

(There may be specific topics where "show, don't tell" becomes "experience, don't show". And 2001 tried to accomplish this. The Abyss, on the other hand, tried still to show, probably failing in its mission. — There was a time when German media theory, in the wake of F.A. Kittler, was kind of obsessed with the written signifier of the novel giving rise to an immediate, visually representative significant. Observed from this perspective, even Clarke's novel takes a step back into abstraction: we may find it hard to invoke an immediate imaginary representation, while reading, the narrative pretty much falls back to us being told, instead of giving rise to imagination, much until the last, much more "tangible" gesture of the Space Child. But, even then, the perspective of the Space Child, cynical without cynicism, and what may come of this, is very much an open ending. So, why not move this openness forward in the plot?)
