Nowhere is perfect, but I see many places in the EU as a great lifestyle arbitrage. If someone made or can continue to make US level money while living in the EU, that's a great situation.

I have used Python's `hypothesis` as well, and I wish it were better. We had to rip it out at work as we were running into too many issues.

I have also used Haskell's `QuickCheck` and Clojure's `spec` / `test.check` and have had a great experience with these. In my experience they "just work".

Conversely, if you're trying to generate non-trivial datasets, you will likely run into situations where your specification is correct but Hypothesis' implementation fails to generate data, or takes an unreasonable amount of time to generate data.

Example: Generate a 100x25 array of numeric values, where the only condition is that they must not all be zero simultaneously. [1]

Do you mean debanking by the government, or for any reasons?

(Because banks will already algorithmically drop you as a customer without explanation or recourse, akin to how you can get your Google account algorithimically banned. TBH it would be more of an inconvenience to have my Google account banned than one of my bank accounts.)

For example, if someone on HN says ‘a 50th percentile intern’ at a certain company, they probably wouldn’t be suggesting the intern literally has a gpa in the 50th percentile among all the other interns at that company.

I think the culture is so prevalent that I have to defend parent’s statement. Node itself, and npm which is a node project, are some of the worst offenders. It’s had abysmal stewardship imo, and one could argue this sets the tone for the ecosystem at large. Hack upon hack, config files of doom.

There are exceptions, but at this point the verdict is clear. It’s like the meme about Java being enterprisey and over-abstracted with factories. As far as stereotypes go, it’s true. (Or was, haven’t used it in forever)

Russia is an even smaller economy than the US, and even then many countries continue to trade with them despite their aggression.

Sanctions hurt everyone involved. If China stopped trading with the US, their economy would tank too.

Furthermore, there are ways around sanctions.

The US is much more self-sufficient than Russia.

It is not hard to comprehend, but it is also not a surefire way to deter an invasion.

And of course remember that not all actors on the stage will behave "rationally"... US leadership especially.

Maybe I'm in the minority here, but this is kinda cool! As long as the user data doesn't leave the Meta ecosystem (no reason to think it does right now, the ad in question here is from Meta itself), it's not a privacy concern since only you are being shown those unique ads with you in them.

Even if other advertisers start using the system, as long as the generated resulting images are never shared with the advertisers and are unique to each user, its just a futuristic way to help you "imagine" what having XYZ product would be like, which is what most ads strive to do.

People have knee-jerk reactions to anything to do with ads because of the privacy concerns of yesterday, understandably. But if you actually step back and think about this, there's no reduction in privacy that I can see. If people are creeped out by it, I think they should maybe let people disable them with a setting.

But in general, making ads more effective without giving advertisers more data about us is a great thing for the continuation of free amazing internet services!
Apple says it will update AI feature after BBC complaint
US companies does have comparable access - just follow PRC laws. What proponents of reciprocity argument wants is US to have ADVANTAGED access - they want US social media to not follow PRC censorship laws that PRC companies follow at great expense. It's like wanting to sell cars in PRC without airbags. Both facebook and Google had internal programs for PRC compliance, but was axed due to internal dissent. It's not lack of PRC reciprocity but US culture wars incompetency.

On the flip side, TikTok is operating in US while following US laws that US companies do not i.e. essentially a JV with Oracle handling data and extreme level of national security oversight. That JV arrangement IS reciprocity relative to US platforms operating in PRC. Issue is TikTok still doing well while submitting any reasonable oversight short of divestment - hubris tier non-starter.

TikTok currently operating in US is tantamount to if Google still operated in PRC... because PRC gov didn't have to hack them for info, because Google cooperated with PRC law enforcement and conducted lawful interception duties, and handed over dissident info (for whoever PRC determine are dissidents). That's actual reciprocity - wholely succumbing to national security considerations.

Except PRC didn't require US to divest their companies, they're simply confident they had a onerous enough filtering regime that applies to all platforms (especially domestic) to fit their national security needs. On paper US could do the same for privacy legislation. But IMO this isn't about US privacy, this is about killing TikTok globally (not just in US), because US national security interests is not about "protecting" just Americans from TikTok, but removing TikTok as global platform with global influence outside of US reach.
My mp3 player around 2001 had 700MB of removeable storage. Buying additional storage was pretty cheap too and there were standardized cases to store a lot of that format.
This seems like it breaks down when you consider a lot of the regulations are ideological. Doordash was a better service before regulation, and in it's most heavily regulated areas has become both less accessible to aspiring workers and more expensive for customers. The main lesson if anything seems to be that there's little benefit to preemptively handicapping yourself with that sort of thing because society will impose it anyway.

I don't remember where I stole it from but at work any time we're discussing something temporary I like to drop in a "remember there's nothing more permanent than a temporary fix" and it usually gives us at least a few more minutes of considering things carefully before pulling the trigger.

To most people those are not really so different. For something to not be broken means that it's mostly fine, more in order than not.
> Is there a model benchmarking site where you can select varying degrees of models by source code and see how they perform on different hardware. It would assist people to evaluate whether or not a specific piece of hardware is good for the jobs that they want it to do.

Not that I'm aware of (at least based on real benchmarks), but it's something I've been noodling about building, together with with some other associated data that can be helpful when wanting to select a model. Glad to hear I'm not the only one wanting it :)

This isn't helpful or realistic. It's becoming more and more difficult to keep all your personal data private and function in society, which is all by design for companies like Meta.
I hate the F Trudeau crowd almost as much as I hate Trudeau, but

Low compensation ranges here are in fact in part the fault of fed gov't policy. Industry freaked out about "labour shortage" and the government responded.

The database of LMIA (Labour Market Impact Assessment) applications is public. You can see for yourself how many thousands of software engineering jobs were filled this way. (Including by big "elite" tech companies like Apple, Google, Amazon, etc.) This was deliberate policy to bring in foreign talent from India, China, etc. in order to fill a "shortage" of us, which well, that shortage was less about "can't find someone" as "I can't find someone cheap enough."

In this case I don't actually blame Trudeau or the libs -- they're on the whole too stupid about our sector to understand that in fact these low compensation ranges harm our industry more than they help. I blame corporate interests who have the ear of the gov't and misled them into thinking that somehow this would make Canada "competitive" in information tech.

All it does is force good talent to leave the country, and encourage sweat shops to open up offering mediocre "IT" services.

We're subsidizing our own Canadian students to go through great schools like U Waterloo, etc. and then losing most of them the moment they graduate, as they go to the US on a TN1. And in exchange...

I've been in this industry long enough (25 years) to have seen things go up and down relative to the US a few times. This is the worst it's ever been. Especially because you can no longer make the argument that "I may get paid less but it costs less to live here" -- that ship sailed 10 years ago.
Exactly, and the OP is not bothered about the content that is around him, somehow for him that must have been generated from thin air.
My grandparents emigrated from the US to Canada in the late 80s when they were in their 60s. One of their daughters had married a Canadian decades before and she sponsored them. They loved it. They felt like they got better care up there.
I’m not in a good place to check but what the various AI tools recommend?
Your comment and the sibling comment touch on more or less the same issue - "what does 'broken' mean?".

We all agree there are problems, but does that justify saying "Canada is broken"? You start by saying that the US shares an issue with Canada. So is the US also broken? The sibling comment mentions other social and financial problems. Can we categorically say that a specific country is "broken" if it faces those issues?

From my perspective, calling a country "broken" is a very categorical statement, bringing to mind failed states, coups etc. I'm sure (or rather, hopeful) that we can all agree this isn't the case of Canada. When people say "broken" in this context, it is much more in the sense of "my car has a broken fuel line" than a commentary on how Canada is a Libya-style failed nation-state.

So in essence, "Canada is broken" is really "things are less good than they could or should be". That is the essence of my initial post - there are problems, yes; but the slogan is mostly inaccurate, ergo propaganda.

The "Canada is broken" people would also benefit from broader perspectives. I've lived most of my life in a developing country in the global south, so living here and seeing your definition of "broken" is a bit bewildering. I haven't lived here long enough to have seen how wonderful things were in the past decades, though, so who knows.

What is the graph supposed to measure, actually? Renders are usually measured in seconds, so high=worse, but then clearly they highlight it as they're better, so it's the second-difference as a percentage or something?

Why can't companies just include absolute numbers in their comparisons...
You're assessment is correct and it was indecent of me to say such things. I'd like to apologize for both the condescension and the lack of respect.

This happens to me, a lot. I now consider it part of my workflow.

I submit something for testing.

It gets ignored by everyone else.

I keep testing like mad, fixing even the smallest "niggles" that I can find, re-releasing, and, each time, asking for input.

Which I seldom get.

In the end, I say "Fuck it. Let's ship." but I don't do that, until I'm really sure that there's no more bugs to be found (spoiler: There's always more bugs to be found, and they pop up, immediately after I release).

I'm constantly testing my work. It never stops, and the frequency of my testing, has virtually nothing to do with whether or not anyone else tests, or even gives me any feedback.

I use Apple's TestFlight for my team testing. It registers -roughly- how many times the app under test is run by individual team members.

My own testing is always an order of magnitude greater than the next person, and that is just a fraction of how many times I run it in the simulator, before releasing the test build.

I'm not especially upset about that, but I don't spare a lot of sympathy for folks that complain about something after shipping, that they had every chance to catch, beforehand.

But, if they are right, I'll still fix it. I just won't feel very sorry for them.
After looking at the websites for ChainPatrol and Arbitrum, I still have no idea what's going on here. How do these two things combine to result in a YouTube copyright claim? What sort of videos are they supposed to be issuing takedowns for?

Curious to hear HN's take.
Right, but Apple's naming does seem to differentiate between real hardware differences vs. artificial software ones (e.g. how much crapware is preloaded).
It's a shame they went with Apple because their server naming is so good. It's super easy to compare across models and it feels very Dell.
Imagination is not an English word. It’s a borrow word from Old French, because there was no existing English word for that meaning.

Why dont you think that is the case? It is only 600 words written at a high school level and isn't especially complex.

Im assuming it was written in english and translated.

The Whet article (translated) says the following:

Shortly before Christmas, a post by Elon Musk on his platform X caused controversy. According to him, only the AfD could prevent Germany's decline. In a text that the entrepreneur Musk made available to WELT AM SONNTAG, he tried to justify this statement. It is a text that calls for contradiction. Jan Philipp Burgard takes on this response.
This is what Elon Musk writes:...
Ultra-endurance cycling like the race you mentioned is fascinating. I once met a few contestants in a European bike race and drove alongside one. He said the best in the field sleep around 4 hours per night and do 500+ km per day.
Personally I find it confusing that all of their iPads since 2010 are simply called "iPad" even though they're completely different. Same with all their products except the iPhone, that get a number in their official name.

You have to dig into hidden "gen number" to find out which iPad is the one you bought 3 years ago.
Possibly it does have that bias (which is to be expected considering its origins and target audience), but I've generally found a good faith and generous reception to pro-EU arguments (in counter to pro-USA comments) here as well.
Yup. Like orders and orders of magnitude off. People thought they’d have like a 10% of dying if they caught Covid when it was closer to 0.2% (and much less when you stratify by risk conditions).

Public health did absolutely nothing to calm the public. In fact they intentionally stoked the panic fires and caused people to absolutely lose their minds.
I'll play some defence for them here. You were playing with Meta's AI face tool, and now it's taken some results from that and swapped them in where ads would usually go. I'm assuming they don't do this if you just uploaded photos to Facebook/Instagram, you seemingly gave them a picture with the direct intent of them using it to make AI images.

It doesn't seem that much different from when I'm typing a chat reply in Snapchat and it starts automatically suggesting stickers with mine and my friends' faces doing silly things with cartoon bodies. Or using my avatar to try and upsell me to their premium subscription. Don't give them a picture of your face to mess around with if you don't like them messing around using a picture of your face.
My company moved away from Level last year, but for the year we used the product, it was nothing but issues with approvals for purchases.
If they use your picture to advertise to your friends, showing you in a nike shoe or whatever, that's still okay? It still wouldn't have left the Meta ecosystem.
What do I want to look for in Newegg refurbished Dell laptops? I've got a Dell E7470 Latitude that's served me well, but what should I look for to replace it? Dell hardware seems reliable enough, but the model naming is confusing.
Everyone needs to read this spec and then live and breathe its tenets … sure. This reminds me of the time when we fixed the footguns with C by making everyone into better developers.

That guy is asking you if replacing a part of the html with some other html alerts screen readers to the change.

It’s a reasonable question and you could share what you know about how screen readers react when this replacement happens. You could write some documentation on how to alert them, some best practices to follow.

Instead you say read the fucking manual, as if that
