you may be out of touch. My parents just retired with $1.6m, zero pensions, and they're still paying a mortgage. They are comfortable and when they get social security in a few years they'll have more than they know what to do with. They saved it all on one income.

An interesting note: printf'ing a variable can sometimes alter how a variable is cached. This is a particularly useful fact in memory locations that can change as a result of hardware operations (like a change of a status bit by a hardware element).

printf'ing effectively enforces a similar condition to `volatile` on the underlying memory segment when it is read.

One can encounter tersely written code that works perfectly with printf statements, but status bits never get "updated" (CPU cache purged) without the printf and hangs the program.

The problem is that insurance companies dont train their own models instead rely on outside vendors and vendors who reject more are given the opportunity so this sets a wrong precedence just like how contracts to the dod makes the folks play it long game rather than making products fast !!
Languages like Python and Java could benefit greatly from adopting the kind of powerful console logging you see in browsers. The ability to inspect objects by simply logging their pointers is incredibly useful for debugging and understanding program state.

Show HN: I made an app so that you don't feel nervous at online interview
The idea is come from https://x.com/JPT_Struggles/status/1869650142456125880

When you open the application, it will add a transparent layer on top of the online interview window, to simulate romance simulation game where the interviewer shows big interest on you, and giving you an offer.
CDNs are much more than dumb http1.1 compliant content caches these days. And every CDN has a huge number of integrations and functionality. All of which have a different impleme tation and behavior for different providers. Its probably a good analog to an infrastructure (“cloud”) migration. And even harder to test, validate, and switch the actual service provider as they _are_ “the front end.”
I think it is concerning that every single Apple Intelligence feature they've shipped thus far has been not just mediocre; but bad. Being last to the party is a very normal Apple thing; quality and Doing The Right Thing takes time. Announcing something then taking months to ship it is very not-Apple, but it has happened a few times. That thing they finally ship being bad is, geeze, horribly un-Apple.

One of the few examples I can think of however is Apple Maps. And it did get better; a lot better, some say better than Google Maps nowadays. So I generally do have hope for Apple Intelligence. At the end of the day, there are some disparate competing utilities in this class on the Samsung and Google phones, but no one is shipping something that is obviously game-changing and in first place; they all kinda suck, they're all tech demos, and it'll inevitably take many years to get this technology honed in to something that is truly useful to consumers.
Don't argue back? Way to promote intelligent discourse. I just disagree with you.. I've had lots of American produce and I can grow tomatoes just as good as those I've had in the US.

Comparing what's in a supermarket is also kind of a bad way to judge things, as both Canada and the US import a lot of items from each other or South America.

I'm not making an "arrogant assumption" I'm just refuting your broad and negative claim that our "land sucks." I shouldn't have to assume a bunch of nuance when you don't include any in your original comment. Is their limitations to growing in Canada/BC? Yes. I'm not growing citrus for a reason. But I disagree with your take, and I find it doubtful our geography is to blame for any poor performing tomatoes. Gardening/farming can be hard. My tomato year this year was poor but that was the fault of slugs.
"When you make your own sandwich, you anticipate its taste as you're working on it. And when you think of a particular food for a while, you become less hungry for it later. Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University, for example, found that imagining eating M&Ms makes you eat fewer of them. It's a kind of specific satiation, just as most people find room for dessert when they couldn't have another bite of their steak. The sandwich that another person prepares is not ''preconsumed'' in the same way."

https://archive.nytimes.com/query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage-9...

I find I'm a mix. I'll never make a sandwich at home that tastes as good as a deli, no matter if I use the same ingredients. I can smoke one hell of a brisket that IMHO is better than anything around me.
There needs to be a consequence for improper denials, regardless of mechanism. Banning AI just means they have to hire people to rubber-stamp.

If your code is connected to some external factory, it's impossible to pause on a breakpoint without breaking everything. And no, "just mock it" doesn't work if you have no idea on how the factory actually behaves. Printf is good because it doesn't messes up timing.

>Unless you can point to a foreign company that was treated less harshly

Less? Foreign companies are supposed to get privileges? My point was they're treated equally by and large. The parent should substantiate their point, how does one disprove an unsubstantiated accusation? I'm genuinely not aware of a company that, as long as they played by domestic rules, was mistreated. Tesla operates in China, they get the same subsidies Chinese EV makers get, as does every German car company.

The other user pointed to tech companies like FB, YT or Google, but they didn't leave because they were treated unfairly, they left when they didn't want to comply with Chinese law. Which is fair enough from a value standpoint or if Americans pressure the companies into it with for example Dragonfly at Google, but that doesn't mean you're treated any worse than domestic companies.
I don't know why the pilots landed the way they did but the structure was there for a valid reason. It's the runway localizer antenna. It was elevated off the ground to protect it from flooding. Should it have been frangible, yes, but it's not at all out of the ordinary as far as structures near runways go, and I think the focus on it is sensationalist and misguided.
I have made no claims nor pointed to Wikipedia as a source (note the word “references”). Just wanted to clarify that as you are accusing me of writing things I did not write.
Ghost jobs doesn't help things any. Posting fake jobs should be considered wage theft. Multiply the number of applications for a fake job by the average time to apply and then by the hourly rate (or salaried rate calculated down to the hour). Charge those responsible for theft of that figure, which easily will push it into felony territory. Bet the ghost job phenomenon disappears overnight.
I suggest re-reading my comment and learning about tracepoints/logpoints.

The point is algebra system, it’s quite good for unit conversion, budgeting, etc - lots of things a spreadsheet does great but seems a bit overkill for. Algebra big improvement over basic arithmetic calculator power.
Ah, the "Elon is wealthy and bought into Tesla at the right time" argument. He's never wrong, is he?
That's not bad though, by the preferences of the people driving the cars.

I've done a couple very informal low sample count surveys, and as far as I can tell the result of pricing in the externalities and building what mass transit is realistic (not much, in certain places) would lead to at least a short-term reduction in satisfaction.
AGI definition was never about superintelligence - that's ASI. The current LLM is ANI - Artificial Narrow Intelligence. For me AGI would be "95th percentile human on a computer can do".

It doesn't have to be maybe even that smart - if you would take someone with 80 IQ we would still classify them as human level intelligence - definitely smarter than most other animals and such people still useful to society and can provide value with many labour tasks.

I think what many people assume wrongly ChatGPT is not just one 1 AI - it is like millions on instances of such AI at the same time and you can probably scale to hundreds of millions of such Dumb AI. For humans you would have to do hundreds of babies and babysit/train them for minimum 5-10 years to be useful.

It's a vastly more challenging goal, with higher engineering, financial, and land-use requirements.

Passenger survivial: Decelleration g-forces kept within a given threshold, evacuation slides operable, passengers cleared within 90 seconds. Hull is sacrificed.

Airframe survival: No significant damage to aircraft structure or systems.

Humans in this case are substantially more robust than aircraft.

You'll find a similar situation in, e.g., earthquake safety construction. The goal isn't for structural reuse, but for inhabitant survivability. Structures may be renovated in some case but are generally demolished and replaced. They did their job in saving lives.

Steel-reinforced concrete buildings can still sustain considerable damage, possibly to the point that they will be unusable after the quake. This has to do with the way governments set building codes, which tell engineers how to design a building to withstand a certain level of earthquake shaking. Codes, including those in the U.S. and Turkey, generally require that a building achieves what is called “life safety” under a given maximum expected earthquake in an area. “Our seismic codes are only a minimum requirement,” says Sissy Nikolaou, research earthquake engineer at the National Institute of Standards and Technology. “You just want these buildings at least to give you the chance to get out of it alive when the big one happens, under the assumption that they may be seriously damaged.” The situation is akin to a car that crumples in a crash: the vehicle absorbs the impact to protect passengers, but it is totaled.

<https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-to-engineer-b...>

The automobile-safety example given above is also apt. A car can be destroyed in a crash, what's key is that its occupants survive.
The author of this post seems to think that a) Microsoft is targeting end users with the device (they're not, they're targeting IT departments) and b) that IT departments don't know exactly what they're getting into or have no control over this thing

IT administrators will have plenty of control over this, and the software it runs, and the configuration of it

I'm not sure the author has ever worked in or has any knowledge of corporate IT departments, their priorities, or how any of it works
Ask HN: Cheap/effective way to manage physical backups of cloud files?
I have my applications and files synchronize to a SaaS cloud file storage. I'd like maintain a physical copy in case of termination by the cloud provider.

What's the most cheap/effective way to manage physical/local backups that are synchronized with cloud storage provider. I'd prefer not to use another service like BackBlaze.
That doesn't make much sense as note on and note off messages are very simple and you can't insert arbitrary bytes with them, unless maybe you use some very particular run mode.

The headline is misleading. The bill allows AI and algorithms to be used, as long as it doesn't supplant a licensed medical professional deciding (K.1.D), or violate civil rights along with a few other things, but it's not outright prohibited as the headline could be interpreted.

I agree but that's not really a scientific limitation though, right? As I understand it in the early days of GPT 4, before it was publicly released and RLHF'd for brand safety, it would have offered convincing text completions for just about any context, whether an academic discussion of philosophy or a steamy crossover fanfiction or a reddit trash-talk exchange. It took a deliberate bit of lobotomizing to make them so bland, conservative, and cheery-helpful.

The required investment probably means it will be a while before any less brand- and legal-action-conscious actors offer up unrestrained foundation models of comparable quality, but it's only a matter of time, isn't it?
Apple’s slogan is “what happens on your iPhone stays on your iPhone”. I think “I published a paper” or “I posted on Reddit” are clearly out of scope - those things are happening in public.
If I'm looking for something and can't find it despite all signs pointing to it being nearby, I'll try to continue looking while upside down. It's often helpful for I think the same reasons that you describe.

One time, I was looking for a set of keys which had been tossed over the aisle partition in a grocery story and promptly disappeared. We tore that place apart and still couldn't find them. So I was laying on my back on the aisle floor so I could see the search area with my head upside down, and there they were. They had bounced and were hanging from the bottom of one of the shelves.

When in doubt, do something weird.

> I’ve seen plenty of places that use Citrix with terminals.

I doubt very many enterprise level IT departments are running any kind of thin client infra such as Citrix or Horizon or anything else (like, god forbid, Oracle) without maintenance agreements in place on both the software and the hardware side of things so just moving everything left and renting the whole stack instead of having half of it capex and half of it opex isn't that big of a shift in how these things are paid for
> How about loading the table row you just added instead of reloading the entire page, table and all?

Show me a single site that uses js in this way. But, and here's the trick... it has to *actually* use less network bandwidth. My issue isn't with js as a web development tool. My issue is with js when it's the wrong tool.

> A web developer that doesn't use it is offloading their identity based allergy onto the users bandwidth.

That's an interesting hypothetical, but I'd be willing to be more user bandwidth is consumed by needless JS scripts, than by all the engineers that you'd call "allergic" to js.

> Plus you can make modals without JS

Show me one that triggers when I scroll too far, or move my mouse outside of the window that doesn't use js?

All of your claims lack evidence... there's plenty of things that sound great in theory, but have been toxic and user hostile every time someone has actually tried to apply said theory.

Debt collection companies have been sued and lost over similar type of behaviors where they had staff attorneys signing thousands of statements attesting they'd personally reviewed filings for errors, especially when it came to serving notice to defendants. Can't imagine the health insurance companies would do better than this unless they had scary pain beyond a potential token fine if caught.
TBH an ai model that is compelled to provide its chain of thought to the patient might be an upgrade over the status quo.

"元旦开笔"[1] The first writing of the New Year. Its a small ritual performed by ancient Chinese intellectuals on the first day of the New Year. It has a history of about 1,000 years. During the Qing Dynasty, the emperor's ceremony became more grand and lengthy, including writing words of blessing with ornate Chinese brushes, symbolically turning the pages of the New Year's calendar (in the early Qing Dynasty, European missionaries participated in the improvement of the traditional Chinese calendar) [2] and drinking from a golden cup symbolizing the eternal and unbreakable borders. Ironically, one of the golden cups was stolen by French invaders during the Second Opium War [3].

> Everything in between your UI components and the database layer needs to be reworked to work in the connection-oriented (Websockets) model of the world vs request-oriented world.

How so? As a minimal change, the thing on the server end of the websocket could just do the polling of your database on its own while the connection is open (using authorization credentials supplied as the websocket is being opened). If the connection dies, stop polling. This has the nice property that you're in full control of the refresh rate, can implement coordinated backoffs if the database is overloaded, etc.
Maybe you never heard of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Pacific_Garbage_Patch

> In a 2014 study researchers sampled 1571 locations throughout the world's oceans and determined that discarded fishing gear such as buoys, lines and nets accounted for more than 60% of the mass of plastic marine debris.
In climbing, most of our gear is redundant. Anchors are built from at least two pieces (but ideally more), our harnesses have two tie-in points, and modern belay devices rely on both a camming mechanism and a brake hand.

But there are still single points of failure. In particular, the rope. It’s not practical to bring up two full strength (single) ropes on climbs. Failures are very rare but do happen—generally because a rope is cut by a sharp rock.

Climbing is inherently dangerous, but accidents related to gear failure are extremely rare. The most common cause of death is human error (particularly on repels), followed by environmental factors like rock fall.

The problem is that insurance companies can play chicken with regulators. If a debt collection company disappears overnight, basically some investors lose money and some debtors get a clean slate. If a health insurance company disappears… I imagine many people would not get healthcare who otherwise would.
It's stated as "artificial intelligence, algorithm, or other software tool" which seems broad enough.

CDN used to be at the front line of blocking content and surveillance citizens, nowadays that happens mostly thru social networks.

Unlike other countries, Chinese citizens are ultra online, and mostly concentrated on two platforms Webo and Wechat. Most other online services all require authentication via either of these two, plus cellphone number. So for govt it’s very simple to block anything or see any identity, CDN hardly play any major role anymore.

Also, boring is good. Though do not be fooled by the hidden g-forces: the tilting behavior turns the side ways forces into just you being a little heavier.
The prototype track back then had a run with a wheel setup that had twice as much tilt angle as the current deployment, and to my understanding the current deployment does not bank the track. That's where (almost) 4x gains in allowed operational bank angle would be hidden.
