I would argue that it should be possible to make something rigorous and easy to use here. The Python model is pure incidental complexity.
this isn't even a software things. Its any production process. The greater amount of work in progress items, the longer the work in progress items, the greater risk, the greater amount of work. Shrink the batch, shorten the release window window.

It infuriates me that software engineering has had to rediscover these facts when the Toyota production system was developed between 1948-1975 and knew all these things 50 years ago.

Easy way is to implement e.g. a 4xx handler which serves content with links which generate further 4xx errors and rewrite the status code to something like 200 when sent to the requester. Load the garbage pages up with... garbage.

This is an (unfortunate?) part of the Rust ecosystem. Reminds me of the JS/NPM mess. I think it is a bit better in the Rust world, but I’m still undecided if it is acceptable to have so many crate dependencies for conceptually simple programs.
Summary: "O3 is probably not AGI, despite hot debates on short-form social media sites."
"Simple" but not always easy. I have executive function / working memory issues so that cognitive burden you mention can be untenable. My solution is to lower the load/latency of the note-taking. I have a hotkey that pops up a text box where I can jot a note, it shoots that to a file, then I organize it with a TUI at the end of the day (or whenever!)

Stemming from the equivalent Dutch “voor de hand liggend”.

Weird. Those should have had different user-agents, and I would guess it cannot be purely based on up.
> "Another approach to the speech would be to take its rhetorical and performative features as evidence for the view that Athenian trials are essentially rhetorical struggles between opposing litigants for a status-based supremacy, and are generally unconcerned with the strict applicability of the law to the relevant facts."

There are two things worth highlighting that the author doesn't really go into.

First, as Richard Posner put it in The Problems of Jurisprudence," "Natural Law had more bite in Greek thought than it has in ours." In other words, the law was primarily a manner of sublimating the instincts for revenge and for fair play. It would be quite correct to say that Greek law was Natural Law, and that they would not allow codes or precedents to twist the administration of the law into something unjust. This is a point in their favor.

Second -- and this is seen throughout the Greek world, including very famously in the Iliad and in the trial of Socrates -- passing judgment was an extension of the sovereign's right to govern, and virtually all sovereigns believed that the judgments they pass should be popular with the people. Even if a matter of Natural Law is clear, they might not prosecute it if it is unpopular -- or, conversely, they might use the sovereign right to administer the law to pursue unjust but popular ends. (Though this was uncommon and the practice of ostracism may have grown to soften this urge.) This is a point against the Greeks.

So: A legal system not beholden to black-letter law, but very sensitive to popular sentiment. Of course stories had an awful lot of power. Much more than they have today.

In the film Pirates of the Caribbean (2003) there is a "pirate code" -- but at certain points the pirates just break the code. The excuse Captain Hector Barbossa (Barbarossa) gives to his snooty and respectable prisoners is that "The code is more what you'd call 'guidelines' than actual rules." That is the essence of Greek Law.
So Google's value proposition is to be the central tracking authority that knows who you are and enforces compliance on the advertising industry by keeping your name secret but letting advertisers know that: person x did this and then did that?

How convenient.
i keep a very simple "notes.txt" file and just append to it; i add a timestamp at the start of every day. literally no other formal structure

i put nearly everything in it that is interesting. snippets of code, bits of debugging sessions, notes from meetings, little reminders. it's a single file that my editor loads in milliseconds and it's very searchable

i've been doing this for over 35 years (... starting over at each new company). having a "dump" of knowledge at my fingertips has saved me hours, many times
That hasn’t been my experience at all:
Yes, bureaucracy is more prevalent, but it's manageable—at least as a German citizen.

Better jobs? Overwork, fewer holidays, less social security, and after years in the workforce, you’re left with a paltry state pension of £800–900 per month at best.

Better healthcare? Only if you compare private healthcare in the UK to public healthcare in Germany. My NHS experience involved endless waiting times, no personal doctor, no choice in doctors, and mostly brief 10-minute telephone appointments.

Better social services? Don't rely on them but childcare is prohibitively expensive.
Out of work? You get 70% of your last salary in Germany for 1-2 years and after that the gov is paying your electricity, water bill and rent + a couple of hundred € to sweeten the deal.

Better restaurants? I agree.

Better transport services? Slightly more punctual, but the trains are in terrible condition, as is public transport in London. Strikes are frequent, and the costs are outrageous compared to Germany.
Traffic? Ever took a bus through London. You might as well walk.

Better airports? They’re all the same to me. At the end of the day, you’re just passing through to another country. I fly regularly (1–2 flights a month), but I only spend 2–4 hours per month in an airport, so I’m not sure why this is considered a major factor.

And on a more personal note:
Crime in London is out of control.

I’ve seen multiple people have their phones snatched—there’s not much you can do when the thieves are armed with hammers.

Just outside my flat, three people were recently stabbed, one fatally.

Where I play tennis, people have been robbed at "knifepoint".

Nearby, drug use is rampant in a park — in the summer laughing gas canisters litter the ground right next to a playground...

I’ve never experienced any of these issues in Germany. Admittedly, We all have different life experiences and priorities, but claiming that life in the UK is better than in Germany—and justifying it with these points—seems wild to me. Especially since I already live in London and not in the "North" were some things are even rougher.
Sure, the analogy is loose, but as a sailor myself, I think it fits the fundamental ethos- one works the natural forces against each other to get where they are trying to go- wind, tides, and both aerodynamic and hydrodynamic lift.

The fact that one has a number of force vectors in varying directions with both sailing and solar sailing, both let you work them together in unison get where you want to go.

Quite often when I am "sailing" the wind is light or dies, and I go to "windward" by timing the currents, and wind at best lets me position for the right currents, but below a sufficient level produces no lift to windward.
It’s a cool project, well executed.

But I am a bit confused about the way it’s described. Is it unusual to see all the roads in a city drawn at once? Is the concept of ‘visualizing all the roads in a city’ one that we don’t have a name for? Is the creator from a parallel dimension where they only have tools that let you see one street at a time?
This will never happen. Most companies don't have many programmers, and they've got a managerial class. Companies that do employee a lot of programmers treat them carefully to avoid letting them into the managerial class, and also to avoid creating another unionized labor class.

In the case of avoiding letting programmers into the managerial class, it's all about not diluting power and wealth. I'm the avoiding another unionized labor class, it's about avoiding creating obstreperous workers who can successfully demand particular working conditions and pay.
Ah. The dissolution of the 'the sweet science' by a science that is indifferent to taste. AI continues to draw attention to both the flaws that age-old customs accumulate over time and remind us of the more intimate aspects that have been lost as custom turns into commodity.

Also "marketing will make misleading claims or lies-by-omission to hype a product", which is a lesson we seem to keep forgetting. That goes in general but doubly so for AI companies, which have to keep investors in a perpetual state of manic hype until they figure out a way to actually make any money.

It feels like the character continues walking for a second after letting go of a movement key, so it feels a little unresponsive from that. A bit of momentum is good but this is a little too long.

Also, my s.o. started talking to me so I started listening to her, and I got kicked after only about a minute, could you bump the idle kick to something like 5-10 minutes?

Additionally, I customized my character and hit play, and didn't realize I picked premium cosmetics until after I tried to play and got a message that I may have forgotten to buy the cosmetics. Maybe a clearer indicator on the item selection UI itself would help.

Lastly, could you add a public server host/join option, for people who just want to play with others who are online?

Besides that, it seems like you have a great foundation here, good character and enemy art and animation, and great sounds. Feels kind of like risk of rain 2, and that's a good thing.

There’s cellular senescence that helps control the malignancies. Then we have an increase in senescent cell burden with age. Of course, you can put two and two together and say that aging protects from cancer. But that’s a wild jump. For one thing, we can’t prove there’s any kind of (evolutionary) benefit in controlling tumors in older age.

this really says all that needs to be said about your perspective. you have an engineer and OSS advocate's mindset. which is fine, but most business leaders (including technical leaders like CTOs) have a business mindset, and their goal is to build a business that makes money, not avoid contributing to the centralization of the internet
The debt brake fetish of FDP is much more of a ideology than the plans of the Green Party.

Especially Habeck is more driven by necessity, Baerbock not so much.
I'm not sure that's realistically possible. The effect of a punch is going to depend on where exactly it landed, the angle of the punch, whether it landed solidly or glanced off, whether the person receiving the punch rolled with it, the physiology of the person receiving the punch, what punches the person has already received, how the person receiving the punch breaths, etc.

Debatably there's other factors that should also factor into a judge's decision such as how aggressive a fighter is.
If I remember right, the attacker’s AWS employment is irrelevant - no privileged AWS access was used in that case. The attacker working for AWS was a pure coincidence, it could’ve been anyone.
Unless you were using anything from that tiny obscure Hewlett Packard operation and didn’t want to shell out for a module. HP never promoted Postscript. It was far from universal as an embedded PDL.

> that throwing a real CPU in the printer was a mistake.

The CPU in any decently modern printer is still many times more powerful than what was in an original LaserWriter (30ppm and up needs power, even if it’s simple transforms and not running wankery). It’s not just about CPU power and modern laser printers still support PDL and vector languages like PCL and PDF (and many have some half assed often buggy PS “compatibility” eg BRScript), the bigger mistake is using general purpose Turing tarpit that is “powerful” rather than a true high level built for purpose PDL. PostScript just isn’t very good and was always a hack.

> Send PostScript, done.

The other problem of course being that raw PostScript as a target for most applications is not at all elegant and ironically too low level. So even if you wanted postscript, an OS that didn’t provide something more useful to most applications was missing core functionality.
The jwz quote about regexes applies just as well.
> Our AWS account is managed by an SRE team.

That's an anti-pattern (we call it "the account") in the AWS architecture.

AWS internally just uses multiple accounts, so a team can get their own account with centrally-enforced guardrails. It also greatly simplifies billing.
Dogs are pack animals and need to know where they (and everyone else) fit in the pack hierarchy.

Most important reason for the rebirth of golang (after it's initial dip in early '10s) and wide spread adoption of Kotlin is the ownership of Java by Oracle. It doesn't matter what fine print exists, but everyone knows what kind of a*holes Oracle and Larry Ellison are, they will find a way to squeeze you. Everyone is going to sprint away from Java as soon and as much as possible. For someone like FB, Kotlin being a nicer language is just cherry on the cake.
Having worked with Laravel, this is absolutely bull.
> I do not ponder what I do not know. This exercise provides a different lens to view intelligence, meaning, and the nature of knowledge itself, even in a purely computational system. It does beg the question, however, if a sufficiently advanced system were to become aware of its own limitations, would that constitute a form of self-awareness? That, however, is a question for another thought experiment."

Would the LLM considering the begged question about a hypothetical AI not be an example of this LLM pondering something that it does not know?
I myself said that de Montaigne is pretty good stuff as this sort of thing goes.

But the kind of agency attached to being quasi-Royal wealthy in the mid-sixteenth century France is not terribly useful to anyone under crushing debt peonage then, nor it’s resurgent beginning comeback now.

For truly catholic stoicism there are better sources. If I want to hear someone talk about inner will from atop a mountain I’ll go all the way back to Marcus Aurelius.

It’s good to see that Randian Objectivists are diversifying out of such a shitty brand, but it’s all boomers and their bootstraps to me, and I’ve read fucking ALL of it. Twice.

Watching two boxers hit themselves and the floor would be quite funny.

Fencing manages to detect a touch, so this combined with a force sensor could be a pretty neat idea.
Modern fencing is also just about the worst case scenario for a martial art being watered down in the name of sports. At this point it's basically glorified tag.
You know it's funny, you'd think it would be more efficient to not rob people blind in the first place, but I guess then you can't pretend to be a benevolent saviour afterwards.
Could this be an artifact of how we measure cancer? My own grandfather probably had cancer when he died, but so much else wasn’t working that I think the docs just didn’t bother testing for cancer or diagnosing it. Treatment would not improve his prognosis at that point.
I guess what's confusing is that I'm calling the promotional emails also "spam".

But thanks for your suggestions.

I see a few problems. When I receive a promotional email, I want to add a rule, and I have to click 7 times (including once for "Archive"), and use the scroll-wheel to select the "Promotions" label. Secondly, the rule is not applied directly. This is confusing, and cumbersome. Note: I don't want to Unsubscribe (because there may be vouchers), and I don't want to mark it as spam, for the same reason.

Another problem is that the amount of rules gets unwieldy this way. I have hundreds of rules already for promotional stuff and the rules I use for other (more important) stuff are hidden between them.

Maybe you think I am complaining too much, but in gmail it was all simple and automatic.
Most corporations (which is the vast majority of cloud users) absolutely don't care about spooks, sadly enough. If that's the threat model, then it's a very very rare case to care about it. Most datacenters/corporations won't even fight or care about sharing data with local spooks/cops/three letter agencies. The actual threat is data leaks, security breaches, etc.
Ambulances cost money everywhere, it's just a matter of who is paying. Do we think paramedics in Germany are more susceptible to PTSD when patients die than ICU or ER staff, or paramedics anywhere?
Are we sure the CompuBox punch stats weren't part of the input for the model after each round?
Ask HN: What’s preventing us from moving away from JavaScript?
Despite advancements in technologies like Large Language Models (LLMs) and AI Agents, whats stopping us from replacing our existing stack and rethinking something completely new - an example is the current web ecosystem — especially JavaScript — which I believe is a significantly limiting language that is at the core of the web browser, whats stopping us from building something superior?
lol, pretty sure it is Waterloo Canada / Ontario. People like to “idolize” their Alma Mater.
You don't need to pay for OpenAI - Gemini 2.0 Free & More
This OpenSource project allows you to use various models, including those from OpenAI itself and some free ones like Google Gemini, Cohere, SambaNova, Groq, and Cerebras.

It's worth noting that Google Gemini is among the best in the LLM Arena.

Why is it free? Google provides a free API with up to 1500 requests per day if it's a Flash model, and 50 requests for the Pro model.

Google isn't the only one; there are several other free options.

"We picked the latter, which also gave us our performance metric - percentage of generated comments that the author actually addresses."

This metric would go up if you leave almost no comments. Would it not be better to find a metric that rewards you for generating many comments which are addressed, not just having a high relevance?

You even mention this challenge yourselves: "Sadly, even with all kinds of prompting tricks, we simply could not get the LLM to produce fewer nits without also producing fewer critical comments."

If that was happening, that doesn't sound like it would be reflected in your performance metric.
There's a lot more to it than just measuring force. For an extreme example, imagine delivering the same punch (force, target, etc.) to Mike Tyson in his prime versus a 90 year old lady.

I knew those tones as CCITT5 tones.
