Simplicity in implementation is not necessarily the same as simplicity in usability. Both are desirable, but if there's a trade-off between the two, then I reckon it's quite justifiable to prioritise the former.
I'm on my third xps across 8+ years. 2 cases of services, the first one was a faulty keyboard on delivery and the second was a 1 meter drop into concrete that busted the screen.

Still looking for alternatives for my next one and thinking the System76. Gotta say though, I'm really happy with the xps model so far.

>”Or a cowardly vietnamese traitor who sold out his people to a foreign power flees like a rat to escape justice. Let’s call a spade a spade.”

If your nation falls to the other side during a civil war, are you really a traitor if you choose to flee from the “justice” of the victorious revolutionaries?

I’d certainly make an attempt at a desperate long-shot escape in order to avoid getting sent to some “reeducation” camp by the communist forces that just took over.
The people who move in and out aren't just shuffling seats. They may be moving in because of their increased ability to exercise that position in society. The consequence may be a center of regional productivity and true national gain. In other words, you don't get a Bay Area unless a lot of tech and business types mingle together.
Your post made me realize that custom string interpolation handlers from C# could probably be used to do injection-safe SQL querying (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/advanced-top...). Makes me wonder whether scenarios like that were considered when they built that feature or if it's just a fun coincidence from making string interpolation extensible.
You know how soda tastes weird when you haven’t had sugary beverages for a couple weeks? Maybe it’s something like that.

Hm, I’m curious too now. One could quite easily, though not cheaply, put this to the test with a RetroTink 4K which has excellent CRT emulation options.

I suspect it would look pretty cool, and probably better in some way than a plain upscale that a TV might do.

The big difference is that old games were often designed around the characteristics of a CRT, whereas films were (obviously) targeting film and cinema first and foremost. CRTs were the best those games ever looked, whereas at the time a tube TV was the worst way to watch a movie—albeit it the only one accessible at home.

I think the effect would be quite impressive for old TV shows shot on tape though!
i hear you. here is what i came up with as a good way to put it: i can't be expected to take care of my family and my kids if i am not well myself. people (especially in china) tell me (and others) that parents need to sacrifice their own well being for their children, and my response is, if i give up my own well being then my children will suffer. they say, i need to be strong for them and for my partner. but i can only be strong if i am healthy. if you like a metaphor: on an airplane they always tell you to put your own oxygen mask on before helping others. that's what this is. i keep myself healthy, to get the energy i need to be strong for my family.

It really depends on your query engine, this would be considered a "catch all query" in SQL Server, and you're going to have really bad parameter sniffing blowing you up, you do not want to do this usually.

I’ve seen no compelling evidence gain of function has benefited us in any pandemic — or even a theoretical justification.

How, precisely, do you believe that gain of function will benefit us the next pandemic?

Edit:

Swap “aid” to “benefit us” for hopefully better clarity.
Call by name, call by value, call by reference.

Its called "full self driving" but it's not full, it's not allowed to be entirely self supervised, and it's barely driving forward.

It's value is moot. It's dangerous.

I think the best reference here is to look at other manufacturers who call it what it is: driver assist.

Wow do we live in the same "actual world?" If we knew for certain that covid began in the Wuhan lab, it would be World War 3.

I get your perspective: an outbreak is an unfortunate byproduct of the risks necessary for scientific progress. No one couldve known how bad it would be. The damage is done, learn from your mistakes and move on. Very enlightened.

In the real world, people will lose their absolute shit. There would be near global demand for sanctions and reparations, and there's enough anti china sentiment that its a real possibility.

Backed into a corner, the world against them, they would have no other choice. It would be a matter of survival.

I wonder if they watched Prometheus (2012)
They say that there is no new data. That they are just altering their choice for what assumption is more likely.

Supposedly because they've had more time to think about the conditions of the lab before Covid was released...

But really, nothing has changed except their biases. Nothing has changed on the solid evidence side.

Separately, if there were actual safety issues and stuff was leaking... Then we're incredibly lucky that it was something as tame as Covid, and not one of the more serious kinds of horrors that gain of function research has successfully produced.
The history is a bit more complicated than that. Valve themselves never released a “Steam Box” that could run games on Linux. They partnered with a few different companies (Alienware, Gigabyte, etc.), who released co-branded “Steam Machines” which were just those companies’s normal hardware design, but with a common set of specs ideal for running SteamOS. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_Machine_%28computer%29

You might instead be thinking of the Steam Link, which *was* produced by Valve, and *was* a tiny little brick that let you play games on your TV. But the Link wasn’t running the games itself, it was streaming them from a dedicated PC (which may itself have been a third-party Steam Machine) elsewhere in your home. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_Link
2035 is crazy optimistic that humans will be doing anything at that point.
Yep. I learned Java just to hack a math program in middle school. It had a hint button that would eventually give you the answer but would dock your progress by quite a bit if you used it at all.

I modified it to run the "solve answer" method without reporting back to the server at a random interval that was just human enough, and played Minecraft in the meantime.

In my defense, I knew the material just fine. The program was very anal about whitespace, parenthesis, order of terms (even if it was inconsequential), so most of the homework time was spent fighting with it instead of testing my math skill. The grade for it was also pass fail, whereas the tests were what mattered (and I dared not cheat on those).

Ended up learning a valuable skill at the same time, so I still consider it a win.

Not sure what your issue is but it's pretty insulting to a lot of people.
> The closest

The closest _known_. The second closest was found in Laos, also 700 miles from Wuhan (BANAL-52). Except it's in the other direction.

So we know that close cousins of CoV-2 are pretty wide-spread.

> Those wet markets are huge vectors for a viral spread, so a virus being spread there doesn't necessarily mean it started there

The thing is, does it really matter? We can say with a high degree of confidence that SARS-CoV-2 was _not_ engineered. So even if the very first jump was in the lab, it was likely a result of insufficient biosecurity measures. But the virus (and its close cousins) are still out there in nature, and it's a matter of time until a new spillover happens.

Do people actually do that? Finding bugs in virtually any piece of software isn’t difficult if you have access to the source. Merging in a bug only to fix it later honestly seems like more work. Most bugs are pretty easy to fix…
It can both be the case that old methods have risks and new methods have greater risks, eg, underestimating mRNA distribution in the body, leading to mRNA replication in heart tissue, and higher than expect dangerous side-effects.

In general, people prefer understood risks to new risks because the system is better adapted to them — both biologically and politically.

Ask HN: Where do SDK generators break down?
I've been looking the OpenAPI tooling and it seems to be all over the place. Part of it is on the tools, part of it is the nature of generating code, clients/stubs, types, tests and docs for dozens of languages. I also feel like OpenAPI spec isn't equipped for what the tools aim to do, but I lack the experience to say for sure.

To get to the chase, I'm looking for your insights into this space for those with more experience than I. I'm looking for insights into:
- Code generator limitations
- Client/server stub generator pains
- Scenarios where code/spec diverge
- Frustrating tooling experiences
- And things that work really well in the OpenAPI ecosystem

Thanks
There's a greater burden of proof for spillover when there just happens to be a lab doing virus research near the epicenter of the outbreak.
The wet markets were a super spreader event... Doesn't really tell you much about where it started (even if it has animal origin).

People just assumed that the wet markets were the cause of the problem, because they found them digusting (and wanted an excuse to blame it on the Chinese being evil).

In a less dense population, without many people going to the same hospital... You would just not have noticed Covid much.
> President Obama had banned it through an executive order.

Can you provide a link to the executive order? It sounds seriously strange.
You are 100% right. Not sure why you are being downvoted.

All of the evidence people argue over can fit together.

Original virus was brought from the south of china, was studied in the lab. Unclear if it was engineered. Somehow in the lab an animal was exposed. Either purposefully for study or accidentally. Animal dies or will die soon so a rouge employee takes it to the market to sell the meat for some pocket money. First cases show up in lab employees they are smart enough to quarantine. Full outbreak starts at market from animal source.
oh, i counted your earlier post lol. thanks for posting all the above.
Hidden partitioning is the most interesting Iceberg feature, because most of the very large datasets are timeseries fact tables.

I don't remember seeing that in Delta Lake [1], which is probably because the industry standard benchmarks use date as a column (tpc-h) or join date as a dimension table (tpc-ds) and do not use timestamp ranges instead of dates.

Yeah, you could probably contrive a situation where you get more interesting information (page numbers maybe?), but it definitely doesn't seem likely to me-
The question of whether we should do gain-of-function research is a fairly complex cost/benefit analysis. The precise cause of the 2019 pandemic is only a very minor variable in that analysis, because that specific outcome doesn't change the underlying probability of a lab leak. More to the point, do we realistically believe that everyone will stop doing it, even if there's a credible international moratorium? If not, then we need to plan accordingly.
I've always wondered about this event: did someone go against orders to do this? Did they get in trouble?
You'd need a battery with UPS-like functionality (and doesn't beep when it's taken off power), otherwise every time you plug and unplug it your mac would restart.

Which is surprisingly hard to find for a portable (usb-C) battery.
I think DHH was right all along. Typescript is cool if you use it alone but from my experience code like the one produced by the OP gets written by some ex-Java ninja and out of 1000 devs maybe 5 could fully comprehend what the code actually does. AI writes this kind of TS a lot. I don’t say TS is bad but most of the time I feel it’s like trying to kill a fly with a nuke. The worst part is I almost never had the issues TS tries to solve, after all adding prototypes to React took 1/10th of the time than annoyances with TS take.

Great job OP, but my eyes bleed.
The zoonotic theory has no evidence to support it whatsoever. It's the viral equivalent of the 'Magic Bullet.'

- No samples were ever found, nor were any sick animals, in the market where it supposedly started. Period. Nothing.

- No evidence of genetic mutations and variants leading up to crossover, no intermediary host ever found.

- It just happened to start infecting people in the city of a lab which had been doing extremely similar experiments AND had issues with releases before.

- WHO rushed the investigation, involved Chinese scientists in the investigation, and the Chinese government did not cooperate in any way, shape, or form - no samples, no lab data, nothing. It was just "trust us." And everyone dusted off their hands and said "well, no evidence. Done then!"

The world's governments pushed the "zoological crossover" theory because the only alternative would be...what? Accusing the world's largest source of manufactured goods of killing 8 million people? And what would we do, exactly?

Level economic sanctions against a country producing most of the world's stuff? That is by and large quite self sufficient, far more so than most nations?

> My main gripe with immutability is that making updated data requires building a full copy of the data again with the changes.

That is not true in general. There are plenty of data structures that can be updated without forcing a full copy. Lists, trees, sets, maps, etc. All of these are common in functional programming. This is discussed in the article (e.g. "Append-Only Computing").

Don't think of the above comment as normal. It represents perhaps .01% of Americans. The other ~99% would be just as flabbergasted after reading it as you are.

As far as income is concerned, some of us have the skills to demand that kind of comp even in the current job market, but it's rare - and more rare now than it was 2-3 years ago.

As far as expenses, it's trivially easy to slash those expenses by about a factor of 3 by living somewhere other than one of the most expensive neighborhoods in the US, and in an area with a decent public school system. 2k/month on food is also insane even for a family of 4 and implies a lot of eating out. I feed myself and my fiancée on about $450/month even buying fairly expensive ingredients, but I enjoy cooking.

Some people are just used to a certain lifestyle and are able to support it, so they consider changing it to be unthinkable. I make similar to what the person you're replying to probably makes, but my expenses are about ~$65k/year, and that includes a decent amount of spending that I consider frivolous. It would not be hard to slash another $10k/year off of that with minimal sacrifice. Not until going down toward $50k/year or below would I have to start making serious compromises.

I don't mean this in general, just on HN which is not intended to be a political space. For some people, reactionary politics has become their entire world and it's important to show them this doesn't get the reaction they desire here.

It guides policy. If it was engineered, it means this is research we really shouldn't be doing. If it was a wild virus being researched, it means we need to take the threat of spillover more seriously.
There was this "SpaceTop" startup making a laptop with no screen [https://www.pcworld.com/article/1919392/spacetop-is-the-firs...], just a built in case for XR glasses like this (except the case was built into the body). They gave up and pivoted into AI...

I was thinking I'd want to make my own. How hard could it be? Just a phone, keyboard, and usb hub fitted into some framing. I tried 3-4 demos of XReal glasses though and (when I found a pair that wasn't broken, cable damage?) the FOV was much smaller than they seemed to be claiming. I think the bridge of my nose sticks out so the glasses are significantly farther away.

I still like the idea.

But they also say that there's no new evidence of any kind.

They are just choosing to believe the lab leak hypothesis now, because they spent more time thinking about the conditions of the labs before Covid started.

...

And it's still low confidence... Since there's no evidence.

Sad stuff, really. Any self respecting person would just not express their opinion in such a situation.

Just about the only value of this new report is that it tells Trump what he wants to hear.
I literally cannot see how OpenAI and Anthropic can justify their valuation given DeepSeek. In business, if you can provide twice the value at half the price, you will destroy the incumbent.

Right now, DeepSeek is destroying on price and provides somewhat equivalent value compared to Sonnet. I still believe Sonnet is better, but I don't think it is 10 times better.

Something else that DeepSeek can do, which I am not saying they are/will, is they could train on questionable material like stolen source code and other things that would land you in deep shit in other countries. DeepSeek just needs to improve the value and I can see them destroying Anthropic since I believe coding is their main focus.

When it comes to text processing, I personally find GPT to be much better and that might also have to do with allegations that they trained on literature that they should not have.

The Prairie State Generating Station was a masterfully-executed trap laid by Peabody Energy that ensnared hundreds of municipalities across 5 (6?) states.

They are on the hook for paying off the construction loans (which ended up being something like triple what they were promised) and are on the hook for any operating costs not covered by sales of the generated electricity.

The least bad option all these cities have is to force their residents to buy the electricity it generates. Naperville is lucky enough to be a pretty wealthy city with good bond ratings; relatively speaking its residents are less screwed than many others.

as DeepSeek wasn't among China's major AI players before the R1 release, having maintained a relatively low profile. In fact, both DeepSeek-V2 and V3 had outperformed many competitors, I've seen some posts about that. However, these achievements received limited mainstream attention prior to their breakthrough release.
