I agree with you. But with a product trying to gain a good name and its first loyal customers, a crash that brings down the complete service is a no-go, no matter the excellence in software development that one seeks theoretically.

Bugs won't be fixed either if the early customers fly away.

In practice, ignoring the bugs meant better numbers. Only the user connections affected by those bugs would fail, which then a retry system transparently solved. This is how the library should have worked to begin with.

Bugs are always going to exist, it's the first law of software, that there is no such thing as a software without bugs. So no, I don't believe on aborting a whole application is ever an acceptable behavior for a library. Do the if(pointer) else return error, not the assert(pointer) else abort.
Show HN: Visualize JSON files in the terminal (Linux)
Inspecting large, deeply-nested JSON files in a text editor can be particularly cumbersome and not very effective. This Linux terminal tool provides an alternative by reflecting the tree structure of the input data in the interface itself, which consists of a hierarchical multi-column browser.

The inspiration for this is the "Miller column" technique used in applications such as macOS Finder or the ranger file browser.

I hope you find it useful, especially for tasks like inspecting large structured logs.
Probably depends on whether or not they’re still alive after whatever arbitrary time period and some other factors, sure
Yeah mobile touch on the text editors isn’t working right and I couldn’t figure it out. But I will figure it out!
Hi David; I’ve seen txtai floating around, and just took a look. Would you say that it fits in a similar niche to something like llamaindex, but starting from a data/embeddings abstraction rather than a retrieval one (building on layers from there - like workflows, agents etc)?
i was unaware that there was a free software definition of fork. for me fork is a technical term that is used to indicate that the forked codebase is going to be developed with a different goal than the original. which license the code has, and what the limitations of that license are, is not relevant for it to be a fork. i can make a fork of a closed source application if i have the code and the legal right to it (which i might have because i paid the owner for that right)

FUTO is not xerox. and i disagree that xerox is responsible for allowing free software to be developed. furthermore, the right to commercial exploitation is not what drove the idea of free software. commercial exploitation was necessary because otherwise selling tapes and other media with free software on them would not have been possible. today where distribution of software can be done pretty much without any cost at all, this right is no longer needed in just to be able to fork and distribute an application.

it is only needed if i want to be able to commercially exploit the changes i make to the application. this is where free software and these new source available licenses diverge. and this divergence is the entire point of these new licenses.

also historically there used to be an active community of the development of non-commercial software. many MUDs for example had a non-commercial license and each one of them was forked many times over.
This resonates so strongly with me.
I worked a job where I needed to use outdated Microsoft toolchains to build plugins for software, and the documentation was just -- gone. Good luck. I've been almost compulsively saving the things that feel important to me, while seldom browsing them for years -- all the while hunting for a faster and more intuitive recall system that lets me find them later.

My ex, however had a much more fluid relationship with the internet and media in general. They liked new things, and didn't particularly care if they enjoyed something and it faded into obscurity. I feel like that's the winning mentality, but I just can't bring myself to embrace it.
That's completely understandable - leveraging the train set. But what I was trying to say is that the comparison is relative to models that were actually zero-shot and not tuned. It isn't apples to apples, it's apples to orchards.
Collective Dynamics Behind Success
Anyone else experiencing projects reverting back to their default state? I'm not sure if this is just after publishing... two of the cool things I did yesterday (including one linked here) were wiped out today and simply show the default new project.
Can someone tell me what does this do? And why its better.

Over-diagnosis would mean we'd see a lot of kids and adults being diagnosed with ADHD despite being normal/typical. Granted ADHD shows in a spectrum of symptoms but I can't find any study that systematically re-tested patients to find over-diagnosis.

There might be clinicians who diagnose ADHD much more freely than others and whose verdict might not withstand the critique of a more experienced clinicians, but that can happen with any other disease, especially when it's still being studied and not every doctor has learned about it during his medical education. Just look at the speciality of psychiatrists near you, you might for 10 times more for depression than for ADHD. Despite both having the same prevalence and depression often being a comorbidity of ADHD.

Over-prescribed medication, well it is a problem because of the myth that Ritalin would help studying but at least here in Austria it there's enough hurdles to get a prescription. And the meds alone won't fix ADHD.

What we know from studies are under-diagnosis in women and the severe effects an undiagnosed ADHD can mean for a person. What we also know from studies is the under-diagnosis of girls, only in adulthood the gender-ratio of late diagnosis is almost even.
Please don't talk ADHD down, it's too severe and we have a hard enough life already without being told by others that suddenly everyone has ADHD...
I don't think it's nurture as the article suggests. Academic success (I define it as getting a permanent position) is mainly finding a researcher or research group that likes you. That's basically it. It's who you know.

> As you noted though, a home would probably be a preferable alternative.

The problem is that the preferable option (housing) won't happen because unlike a smartphone, it requires that land be effectively distributed more broadly (through building housing) in areas where people desire to live. Look at the uproar by the VC guys in Menlo Park when the government tried to pursue greater housing density in their wealthy hamlet.

It also requires infrastructure investment which, while it has returns for society at large, doesn't have good returns for investors. Only government makes those kinds of investments.

Better to build a wall around the desirable places, hire a few poorer-than-you folks as security guards, and give the other people outside your wall ... cheap smartphones to sate themselves.
I'll briefly expand. 1. Committed the sin of not reading the article, which as you may know is rampant in academia ;)
2. When I first came into grad school I got caught up into a conversation with several professors who were (lightheartedly) bragging about their academic pedigree, but in the familial sense, listing a prominent scientist or three with whom their was some relation, if not immediate, not entirely distant either..and it struck me then that professors are more likely to have relations that are professors, etc, leading to my misunderstanding. I, of course, know about the other type of academic lineage. My academic grandmother, my academic great grandfather, and so on, aka mentor's mentor's mentor. In this sense, I came into academia under a decent pedigree: Simona Ghetti (my advisor, prominent for her work on the development of episodic memory and meta cognition of memory), Gail Goodman (academic grandmother, widely credited with starting the modern scientific study of children's eyewitness memory and child victims as witnesses in legal contexts.)
I like this idea, but we are nowhere near a point of diminishing returns. We are about to experience the wholesale obsolescence of the economic value of human labour, which means in practical terms, no stupid jobs just to have a place to live, intelligent robots cleaning your house etc

If anything, buckle up. Going surfing every day or crotchet may become a perfectly legitimate life aspiration.

I DVR the nightly news with NextPVR, more as a convenience in case I'm doing something when it's on, want to pause/rewind, want to watch it the next morning instead, etc.

Come 2020, I was convinced that the world was going to end. So I simply... turned off the retention rule. One hour of news is around 5GB, but that's a very-high-bitrate MPEG-2 stream with an extra audio channel in Spanish. So I instead wrote a cron job to take that week's news, drop the stuff I don't care about, and H.264 the entire set of them down to 4.7GB, then burn them to a DVD for offline storage, since there's not much value to keeping them online.

By 2022, it was obvious the world was not, in fact, ending, but I never stopped this practice because of how simple it was, and how unobtrusive to store they are. I just make sure a fresh DVD is in the NAS every week, and put the DVDs on a spindle - they collectively take up about as much room as a toaster. I could make that even smaller and simpler if I opted for a portable hard drive.

Occasionally I'll manually toss something interesting in, like the presidential debates, or special coverage of some newsworthy event.

In 20 years, when it comes time to re-burn the earliest of them, maybe I'll make a value judgment on whether that's worth it, but for now it feels like I'd be losing something for not much of a good reason.
Previous best specialized ARC solver was exactly that.

This o3 thing might be a bit different because it's just chain of thought llm that can do many other things as well.

It's not uncommon for people to have a handful of wrong ideas before they stumble upon a correct solution either.

Thanks- most people that are researching this are doing so because they care about birds and/or alternative energy- in most cases both.
You're right that there was a plaza renovation project. It has helped massively, (though I think it didn't go far enough), and it was only completed at the end of 2022 so most people grousing about the building have never seen it.

There is little tax break for home ownership currently with the SALT cap + high standard deduction. You get some break if you have a large enough mortgage or high enough interest rate but it has been very nerfed.
AGI wouldn't necessarily entail any autonomy or goals though. In principle there could be a superintelligent AI that's completely indifferent to such outcomes, with no particular goals beyond correctly answering question or what not.
So cool to hear how many folks are using this with their kids! My own 6yo got it right away when I was prototyping this and that was huge validation. (She quickly moved on to drawing the whole graph herself, combining images etc)

Note sure who that is, but it is an unfortunate circumstance of the web that comments are connected to the authors of content (YouTube, New York Times, Instagram) at all. Comments should be independent of content (like HN).
The problem is broader than this. There is a tradition of using photography to record real world events (photojournalism) which has been quite broadly adopted within our cultures - we believe a photograph as reflecting events that have happened.

The problem with these AI generated 'realistic photojournalist' images is that they erode the belief in these images as being factual representations of real world events.

Just think of the impact that, say, war photography has had on the world, and our understanding of the horrors that our governments decisions have had on people's lives. Would Nick Ut's 'The terror of war' have had the impact it did if AI image generation was available at the time? I believe there was at the time an attempt to say it was staged, but there are many many ways of dismissing an image these days.

So, I think we have lost something, but it's much greater than the connection with a subject that the author is concerned with.
Genocide is an attempt to eradicate a group. The only group Israel is trying to eradicate is Hamas. They're not genociding Palestinians, they're genociding Hamas.

Are they killing an excessive number of civilians as collateral damage? Certainly seems like it. But collateral damage is not genocide.

If they wanted to genocide the Palestinians, they'd be shipping 'em to camps and gassing them, like the Nazis did. Looking at it another way: let's say that (hypothetically) Hamas stopped using people as humans shields by firing rockets from hospitals and building tunnels under schools. Do you think the number of non-combatants killed by the IDF would go down? Because I do, and to me that says Israel's goal is not in fact killing non-combatant civilians, even if they're killing far too many as is.

The Cherry Pick Ratio
In numerous places those efforts have been purposefully sabotaged by police who aren't happy about the loss of court revenues and the eventual cutbacks on police funding for drug prohibition. With them literally refusing to enforce some laws like public intoxication or shooting up heroin in the middle of the street because their more profitable and super easy to get arrests for drug possession laws no longer existed.
what hoops? i clicked, play .. play now and got in... it crashed, on Arc (osx) but it started to load and i saw people moving around
In Portland, decriminalization was poorly planned, new treatment options were implemented badly, and the alternative penalties for possession were not meaningfully enforced. It was a failure of execution.

I don’t think it tells us much about how well an ideally functioning decriminalization or legalization effort would work. It does update us in understanding that it’s difficult to accomplish this transition successfully.
Those papers are not concrete plans to move their core processing network to ISO20022. The first one is just talking about 20022 in general, the second one refers to Visa DPS which is effectively a wrapper over their EAS which does speak 20022, but their core comms are still 8583.

I'm sure that Visa and Mastercard are very aware of 20022, but being aware of it isn't the same as having a concrete plan to move - actually moving _everything_ would take a very long time, there are so many card issuers & acquirers out there with old systems plugged into Visa and Mastercard that would have to be replaced.

FYI I actually built a cloud based issuer processor connected to one of them within the last couple of years - that was 8583 and there was no option for it to be 20022. We would 100% have taken it if it were an option.

> you get schema files and punch your programming button and generate a lot of the necessary code and then do the plumbing and call it a day.

I think that's pretty naive in terms of what parts you have to do in order to process card payments. Okay, yes, parsing messages is easier, you still have to deal with HSMs and all the crypto stuff, PCI compliance, all the logic for the various message types, scheme compliance, then the long tail where reality diverges from the spec (basically acquirers will send you any old absolute nonsense and you'll have to somehow figure it out otherwise your customers' card payments get rejected).
Same with Arc on Mac...

Sort of serverless Kafka, which natively uses object storage and promises better latencies than things like warpstream.
(Founder) There is a table on the landing page https://s2.dev/ which hopefully gives a nice overview :) It's like S3, but for streams. Cheap appends, and instead of dealing with blocks of data and byte ranges, you work with records. S2 takes care of ordering records, and letting you read from anywhere in the stream.

This is an alternative to systems like Kafka which don't do great at giving a serverless experience.
That's called a render.
Monasticism is a counterexample
I doubt it works this way. People at Google use search too, and they don't like what they see.

Part of the problem is that they're fighting against financial incentives that they themselves created. There's plenty of upside and little downside to abusing it, so it's just endless whack-a-mole.

Another issue is just how bureaucratic the process has become. They want it to look good to the regulators and the courts, so they put up with a pattern of abuse for five years, then announce some well-reasoned but narrow policy change (e.g. "product reviews now need to be actual hands-on reviews"), and... a month later, spammers are just adding an extra lie on all the fake review websites.
That quickly becomes tedious when you need to do it multiple times a day - e.g. logging in to different customer environments. Much prefer the one-click approval.
Is that the longevity doctor’s real name? Dr. Longo? I think that’s hilarious.
Congrats on the launch! Looks like you can only play one game as a guest before getting stuck in a loop when hitting "play now" between "forgot to buy items?" and "you must be logged in to buy". I also wasn't sure which one was the base to defend once I'd wandered off.
There is really no strong argument why Selenium should be better than Cypress. The only meaningful difference is the number of supported language, as far as the article describes these frameworks.

Animals could say precisely the same thing about living in a zoo!

(1) Who determines the allocation of resources in your utopia? How do you handle an ever increasing population that depends on the biosphere which itself is the only source of raw materials and energy for the incredible amount of energy required for it?

(2) People need a purpose. Most people will find a life of really doing nothing quite boring. Like it or not, people want some control over their destiny, and not to be animals in a cage.

(3) If people really don't need each other, what will happen to the social fabric? If AI can really do everything for us, then what is to stop some people from killing all the rest and taking everything for themselves? We have only relative morals that function when they are necessary, and some people not even that.
I had thought of doing it last time. Thunderbird documentation makes this so scary that I ended up just leaving it be.

Of those, music is one where the word is most quickly applied to AI without qualifiers. It’s because the more abstract term sound doesn’t convey melody or rhythm. Behind that is movie where people will often call it a video so it doesn’t carry the creative meaning of the term movie. This post to me is suggesting that the term photography be treated like painting. I agree it’s a noble pursuit. I just don’t think it will work.

They do that already. They leave the corner shooter open when the ball is on the other side of the paint in order to clog up the middle. When the offence makes a sequence of passes to find the open guy in the corner then they close out to take away the corner 3.
I'm sorry, I don't have the background to opine on any of the subjects you discuss. Good luck with your paper!
Might be a projection, i.e, you think teens do drugs to be cool. My group of friends we were legit curious read books like The Doors of Perceptions where we thought we would meet God or Aliens travel to astrospace. Any recent books like that? That made teens curious about drugs?
Simultaneously, pharmaceutical use rates have skyrocketed and continue growing. I'm curious if there is a causal relationship there.

And I don't think this is a positive trend. Teens experimenting with weed, alcohol, and so on should not be encouraged but is, or was, just a part of life. Teens being on antidepressants, prescribed stimulants, and so on is rather quite sad.
One is

void main(String[] args) {
println("Hello world");
}

and the previous one ...

class HelloWorld {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Hello, World!");
}
}

And that is SO MUCH less? Are you being ironic?

Should we allow somebody who cannot handle the second one, go on and programming because of the first one?

It was because of the mandates and outrage over lockdowns.
I wasn't in instant messaging until I was an analyst in the 2000s. Never had an AOL account outside of being IM I used for some subset of mostly journalists. So, yeah, didn't really communicate with social contacts with email/IM until the 2000s for the most part.
If that's a problem, why does the progressive point of view typically argue in favor of giving more power over our lives to the ruling class?

The problem isn't the money. The problem is the power.
