Yup, Rubinius was probably the most widely known implementation of Ruby's standard library in Ruby. Too bad it was slower than MRI.
Right, there are lots of them and they have more resources and options than a CEO's bodyguards, and still aren't (and again, I don't think this is, at least in general if not in every specific case, exactly their fault) super effective at preventing people from taking a shot, if they really want to and if their plot isn't discovered beforehand.

They do discourage "casual" attempts pretty well, and raising the difficulty constrains and pressures even the dedicated who succeed at striking (if not at achieving their ends) in ways that surely matter, but I think most of that has more to do with the shutting-down-whole-blocks and cordoning-off-entire-areas stuff. The strictly body-guard activity they do mostly just prevents sustained attempts—which isn't nothing, but CEOs aren't gonna keep those first couple bullets at bay with bodyguards. Broader behavior modification? Now that might work.
I took "unhealthy state" to mean a toxic work culture, with long hours and low pay. If you work as a low level actor/writer, you have to audition all the time and are about to get replaced by AI.

I disagree in my experience, poorly designed tests test implementation rather than behavior. To test behavior you must know what is actually supposed to happen when the user presses a button.

One of the issues with getting high coverage is that often tests need to be written for testing implementation, rather than desired outcomes.

Why is this an issue? As you mentioned, testing is useful for future proofing codebases and making sure changing the code doesn't break existing use cases.

When test look for desired behavior, this usually means that unless the spec changes, all tests should pass.

The problem is when you test implementation - suppose you do a refactoring, cleanup, or extend the code to support future use cases - the test start failing. Clearly something must be changed in the tests - but what? Which cases encode actual important rules about how the code should behave, and which ones were just tautologically testing that the code did what it did?

This introduces murkiness and diminishes the value of tests.

I know two (educated and hard-working) people in my immediate circle who intentionally keep their income below $30k/year so they qualify for state healthcare programs that they couldn’t otherwise afford unless they were making upwards of $150k.

So we have accountants and scientists who need back surgery intentionally working part-time barista hours.

As a programmer I’m all for gaming the system by knowing and navigating the rules, but the situation is comical.
While this is very (very) cool, what is the upside to having a model render everything at runtime, vs. having it render the 3D assets during development (or even JIT), and then rendering it as just another game? I can think of many reasons why the latter is preferable.
> ...and trying to pretend that if everyone were provided with the same opportunities they would achieve the same outcomes in basketball, or in intellectual pursuits, is not only dishonest, it's actively harmful to those born at a disadvantage.

Cultivating an us/them distinction is also actively harmful, more harmful I'd say. But if you can't help yourself, count yourself with them and do your best to avoid condescension.
I'm misinterpreting something here:

"Apartment in a moderate-cost area is about $70,000-$100,000/year."

Are we saying apartment rental is between 5 and 8 thousand dollars a month? What is the definition of this moderate cost area??
Still a valid counterargument. A good browser based DB GUI might just not exist because the existing desktop ones are so good already.

I personally also vouch for DataGrip, a fantastic tool. No browser based tool is going to come close to the experience of an actual desktop app imo
The entire point of this webpage (and the article that inspired it) was to wonder and suggest that many of the people posting these things may not have realized they were posting it publicly, thinking that "Post to YouTube" meant that they were putting it somewhere online where it would be easier to -- privately -- share with specific people they wanted to share it with.

Given the time frame and the newness of the iPhone and that entire model of interacting with media and the internet, I think it's pretty likely that many of those videos were published without the understanding that anyone would be able to view them.

Regardless of my guess on this, you can't assume to know what anyone's intent is, especially someone you don't know who posted something on the internet over a decade ago.

Slavery is an old thing[0]. Even assuming the death rates are correct, one can't honestly conclude that what happened in the West in the past 500 years is similar to what happened, say, in Antiquity in the West[1] - and that's what most relevant to Aristotle - or amongst ancient Jews[2].

I know that there are too many unknowns for me to even have a clear thesis to begin with.

> That means about 50% of the US can not afford a place to live.

No, at best the conclusion is that 50% of the US can not afford to own a home. But not owning a home != homelessness. Renting still exist. Roommates still exist. There's a house in my neighborhood that has 3 (El Salvadorian, I believe) families living inside of it, and they are contributing 3x income to make it work (this depends on zoning laws though).

it’s funny because most of the US has the perception that canada is a mess and a horrible place to live too. Awful job prospects, migrant problems, horrible weather, and a housing market that makes the US look cheap. Just to name a few.

Not sure if that’s true at all, i’ve never been to canada! So take those opinions with a huge grain of salt lol.

What’s my point? I guess that perceptions can be very different.

Anyway since you left canada, I hope you found someplace where you are happier. :-)

What are the economic costs of getting cancer to society? Especially if we start talking about public health funding to treat said cancers (medicare, medicaid).

And what are those costs? Particularly in the mining industry we've seen how mine owners just love skimping on PPE or clearing out methane [1]. It's just cheaper to roll the dice with worker lives.

I love seeing this in those periodic ragebait articles about how a family earning 400k+ is "paycheck to paycheck" after maxing out their retirement accounts, paying for private schools and vacations, mortgage on a $2m house, car notes on two newer luxury cars, etc. etc.

To define "me" in this context basically requires solving the Hard Problem of Consciousness [0].

To an external observer, all life, including humans, are nothing more than a complex set of electrical and chemical reactions, and in theory, with sufficient technology, you could take a perfect subatomic snapshot of someone's brain and predict exactly how they would react to any stimuli.

But then there are the first-person perspective experiences. We have words for it like "consciousness" or "mind", but no scientific explanation on how it works and why it shuts off when we go to sleep. The religious will explain it with the concept of a soul.

I don't think we can ever solve this Hard Problem. But I can claim to believe that if someone did snapshot my brain and recreate a perfect living replica in a new body, that I would not experience what that replica experiences. It might have a completely new consciousness behind it, or it could be a P-Zombie [1].

Maybe I'm actually the only conscious being in the entire universe and everyone else is a P-Zombie. Somehow, to me, that makes more sense than consciousness appearing out of nowhere.

I don't see malice sufficiently addressed. A billionaire could identify arbitrary copyright arbitrage opportunities in particular communities or among groups of individuals and buy out copyright, and hold on to them out of spite until the value of a property is lost, or manipulate memes and the spread of culture.

Deliberately giving things to the public domain, software licensing, and other issues arise in the context of hostility and malice and bad people existing. Stuff like this would only work if everyone participated in good faith.

By the time we figure out any sort of sensible copyright rules, AI will have made a total mockery of our systems, anyway.
Aand that brings up another issue - that (and a good amount of things that will work as expected on the default -j1) breaks with -j4.

Apparently .WAIT and .NOTPARALLEL exist, which I couldn't find last time I needed something around this. Though for this unfortunately `make -j4 foo .WAIT bar` isn't allowed, but at that point separate make invocations is fine.
It's a bit different than that since the image perspective is as if the camera is directly in front of the wall. Normally if you take a picture from above the wall, the perspective is from the angle of the camera pointing over the shoulder of the wall.
What's disturbing? In all likelihood the close timing was world labs rushing to get their demo out the door knowing this was coming because they wouldn't get nearly the hype they did if this came before.
I disagree.

By disagreeing I am already countering the argument that it is a settled matter.

When I hear "living paycheck to paycheck" I think it means your recurring expenses (rent, utilities, food, etc.) consume all your income every month and you have nothing left to save. No savings. No investments. No 401K. If you don't get your next paycheck you can't pay the rent.

Nice interview. While using APL professionally for around ten years, I had the opportunity to attend lectures with Iverson and a number of the top APL guys from the era (the guys who wrote all the APL books of the time). Talk about a guy and an idea that was way ahead of its time. I still have a picture I took with him during on of the annual APL conferences in the 80's.

You don't start with evidence, you don't even start with a hypothesis, you start with an aesthetic intuition and chase it, like a heliocentric model with ptolemaic epicycles vs newton's model, both describe the phenomena at hand, how do we pick the one that guides our next questions?

The intuition that we should globoindustrially produce man-made materials and dispose of novel waste materials in our water supplies until proven toxic and cancerous is a mistake, and we should be coming at the question from the other side, assume naturally occurring materials are less harmful than man-made ones until we have evidence indicating otherwise.

It turns out that it is really, really hard and motivated work to find evidence of the harmfulness of many materials, and there is no commercial incentive to do so, and the health of human beings and the natural world are suffering because we accept "three papers in the last 2 years checked this novel plastic and couldn't find much evidence of harm" as a good enough answer before we start manufacturing thousands of tons of it and dumping the manufacturing wastes into our rivers.
I find it pretty egregious that someone who is saving/investing a chunk of every paycheck could be considered to be "living paycheck-to-paycheck." I feel like the most obvious definition most of us would assume is that nearly 100% of your paycheck gets spent on goods and services, and/or bills and debts, before your next paycheck.
> The USA is a horrible country to anyone looking in from the outside.

When I was at a multinational corporation we had people from our EU and Asia offices fly out to the United States for a couple weeks at a time (their choice).

We'd go out to lunch every day and some of us would have them over for dinner at our houses to get to know them.

Many of them were young and had developed their idea of the US from Reddit, Twitter, and TikTok. They'd show up thinking they were walking into a hellscape of a country because that's what they saw on Reddit.

It was a rite of passage for all of them to slowly realize that the US in person is different than the US according to Reddit or TikTok.

One example that came up frequently was minimum wage. Reddit talks about the federal minimum wage all the time as if Americans everywhere are making minimum wage. We'd have to explain that our state minimum wage was significantly higher than the federal minimum wage. We'd also explain that it's basically impossible to find a job paying that minimum wage right now because even the post office and local fast food places were hiring at higher wages.

The list went on and on. I remember several coworkers who went from thinking the US was a horrible country to asking us to sponsor their moves to the US.

> No one would actively choose to live there if it wasn’t for high salaries in certain fields.

That's a chronically online take, but it's completely wrong. Immigration demand to the United States is extremely high, even for jobs that don't pay high salaries.

Most software I make, makes the CR optional (although some disallows it), and I do not usually use it in my own files, except DOS files; I still use CRLF in DOS files, as well as in existing files that already use CRLF for some reason.

There may be some situations where it is helpful to have them separate, although for most uses (including most internet protocols) it isn't.

But, I agree with the part about Windows that O_TEXT should not be used; you should use O_BINARY.

One minor nit: A function can be differentiable at a and discontinuous at a even with the standard definition of the derivative. A trivial example would be the function f(x) = (x²-1)/(x-1) which is undefined at x=1, but f'(1)=1 (in fact derivatives have exactly this sort of discontinuity in them which is why they’re defined via limits). In complex analysis, this sort of “hole” in the function is called a removable singularity¹ which is one of three types of singularities that show up in complex functions.

Hey HN,

We've just released R2R V3 with a completely RESTful API that covers everything you need for production RAG applications. The biggest change is our Git-like knowledge graph architecture, but we've also unified all the core objects you need to build real applications.

Check our [API](https://r2r-docs.sciphi.ai/api-and-sdks/introduction) or join our [Discord](https://discord.gg/p6KqD2kjtB) if you want to dive deeper. We'd love feedback from folks building in production!

Who says it was explicit? They may have done so without understanding the implications.

Your insistence that people did this intentionally, fully understanding what they were doing, is pretty weird. You have no idea why people uploaded these, what their level of technical proficiency was when they did so, or what they understood about the availability of the videos they posted.

Maybe don't claim to read people's minds, and be open to the idea that people do things for a variety of reasons, and often don't consider (or even know that they should consider) the implications of everything they do.
The game has indeed become brutal for foundational model companies.

I am less worried for AI research+product companies: they have likely secured revenue streams with real customers and built domain knowledge in the meantime.

The culture around JS seems to believe that, between semver and package version pinning, there's some kind of mandate to do things like massive incompatible API refactoring, so long as you update the major version number.
