I only use Amazon because it’s cheap and fast enough. Usually I save a ton of time buying there even if it costs a bit more I save time by not going to a store.

Without the logistics advantage Amazon isn’t that great. Target has better quality control, Walmart has lower prices. The Amazon website has gone from Amazing to ok so the advantage in the other areas does not justify the extra costs
> Narrative is a famously flawed way to communicate or record the real world.

...and yet with it's flaws, it's the most flexible in conveying meaning. A Ted Chiang interview was on the HN frontpage a few days ago, in it, he mentions that humans created multiple precise, unambiguous communication modes like equations used in mathematical papers and proofs. But those same papers are not 100% equations, the mathematicians have to fall back to flawed language to describe and provide context because those formal languages only capture a smaller range of human thought compared to natural language.

This is not to say chat has the best ergonomics for development - it's not, but one has to remember that the tools are based on Large Language Models whose one-trick is manipulating language. Better ergonomics would likely come from models trained or fine-tuned on AST-tokens and diffs. They'd still need to modulate on language (understanding requirements, hints, variable names,and authoring comments, commits and/or PRs).
You are aware that backups and redundant storage existed before the cloud, right?
Indeed, Britain should have known this and realized that the only way forward was complete and total separation from the post colonial states. Any sort of immigration or pseudo integration was bound to lead to this. Other countries, such as the US, should look to what has become of Britain as an example of what not to do, what ideas do NOT work, and what ideologies lead to such betrayals.

It's not banned, they're forcing the Chinese to divest ownership & control of it, same as China does to US companies, really. The fact is that they'd rather shut it down than be unable to gather location data or build social graphs of their user base.

Frankly the propaganda aspect is the least troubling part of it because you're right, people can make their own choices about information sources.

But figuring out who various military members are connected to, where and how they're moving around, and especially any leaks where people take cell phones in places they shouldn't (remember that ship that installed a Starlink illegally?), they can get quite a bit of intelligence.

The question is how to get U.S. Steel to invest in modern equipment and processes. U.S. steel is one of the companies that invested in more efficiency in their core processes and failed to be ready when new processes went from expensive to cheaper and better.
Sometimes the bad jobs are crowding out the good. Like gig work crowding out traditional full-time positions with benefits, as companies prefer cheaper, on-demand labor. Slave labor needs to be outlawed at the society level, not at the individual level "why dont you just find another job".
True, but it doesn't seem widely appreciated.
Just this morning I told myself I should build something like this. I work in global supply chain and the language barriers are an absolute mess.

Running on 'large donations' is not a viable strategy for any long-term goal. Perhaps its time for Linux to consider running a tiny datacenter of its very own to both dog-feed itself and give itself extra momentum or inertia from donation stall-out?

Natural language can be precise, but only in context.

The struggle is to provide a context that disambiguates the way you want it to.

LLMs solve this problem by avoiding it entirely: they stay ambiguous, and just give you the most familiar context, letting you change direction with more prompts. It's a cool approach, but it's often not worth the extra steps, and sometimes your context window can't fit enough steps anyway.

My big idea (the Story Empathizer) is to restructure this interaction such that the only work left to the user is to decide which context suits their purpose best. Given enough context instances (I call them backstories), this approach to natural language processing could recursively eliminate much of its own ambiguity, leaving very little work for us to do in the end.

Right now my biggest struggle is figuring out what the foundational backstories will be, and writing them.

I'm frequently amazed how technological advance frequently is making things smaller/faster/cheaper, not inventing or discovering them in the first place.
You keep saying Musk and you are right Musk has no power, he just reports information to the President Trump who makes any call. So that part is irrelevant. The government can say we want to spend $1,000,000 on hammers but it doesn’t mean you have to spend $1,000,000 on one hammer. If the president finds you can buy a hammer for $10 then he can direct to 100,000 of them there instead. Also, if he finds government agencies are not performing on their obligations he can get rid of them. And lastly, a lot of changes are going to take effect until the next budget, which will be ratified by congress. Just because he says “we’re cancelling X” it doesn’t mean he’s stopping it now but once a new budget it passed.
It has different wording but I feel like it’s only difficult because of the politics and emotions attached to it. If it said instead:

“A thriving community of professional musicians, being essential to the existence of great art, the right of the people to keep and play musical instruments shall not be infringed.”

I really don’t think anyone would be arguing that it restricts the right to keep and play musical instruments only to people who are already professional musicians.
You’re still talking around the issue. You said that you’d object to anything that puts people in danger. You admit this order puts people in danger but immediately pivot to talk about where the responsibility ought to lie for mitigating that danger rather than follow through with your original pledge to OP.

It just makes your original statement look dishonest. You do not object to the order that places people in danger. You and I both know that prisons are terrible for protecting vulnerable populations. “They should, though” is both correct and meaningless to the person being transferred.
Weird to say but could be a relevant anecdote, as a trans person, that avoids politics in my socials but watches trans creators. I've never gotten a platform that doesn't show me the trans negative politics in my feeds after engaging with trans creators. I find I only get the positive politics AFTER I ignore or dislike the negatives ones.

Fidelity has great features, but is hamstrung by their awful execution.

The app is clunky, slow, and looks like something from the 90s. Just logging in takes an average of 10-15 seconds. The credit card is serviced by Elan, who is awful, but aside from that, the UX is abysmal. It feels like it redirects no less than 8 times to get to the credit card page. My phone won't even load it, so I have to do it on my computer.

It's so frustrating to me because I feel like they're 90% of the way there and just need a bit of UX work. But I've had that feeling for years now, with no real progress made, so am slowly moving away. If you don't touch your money often, it's probably fine - great even, but it became too frustrating for me in the end as an everyday use account.
Apparently I left out a line break. It should read

The compiler can only do static analysis and code generation. I'd much rather a hotspot VM analyze the running code and identify the optimizations on the fly.

So I believe we're in agreement, that AOT imposes does limited optimizations compared to HotSpot JIT
China reunifies Taiwan: 20%

1.) too much corruption within the military. also no real war experience for 40 years

2.) not enough oil to supply all the ships needed for invasion. look at how Russia's column of tanks failed in the early invasion of Ukraine.

3.) China is broke and you need money for a war against US and Japan.

4.) China imports most of its food and oil

5.) Taiwan has very advanced anti-ship missile systems, homegrown and from US. and once a ship is sunk near the landing, that then prevents other ship from landing, basically piling up ship corpses.

US responds militarily: 70%

1.) Marco Rubio's first day on the job was to meet with AUKUS, which shows how important Asia and first island chain is

2.) Trump has said he would bomb China if China had occupied Taiwan under his presidency

Thats because there is no answer. Marx and all of the people who developed his theories after him have exhaustively and scientifically proved this. That's really whats happening: its not that people dont have an answer is that they're not admitting to the exploitative nature of private capital accumulation. The main internal contradiction of capitalism leads to the system creating large amounts of wealth but also equivalently large amounts of poverty.

Also, if you havent read the wikipedia article on the luddites you should. It's not as bad a moniker as revisionists would have you think! (Hint: they were protesting labor abuses, not simply opposed to advencement.)
Sony being bad doesn't mean Spotify isn't also bad.
Worse if someone does care, the other side see this and reflexively opposed it. So often good things one side starts are stopped by the other the next election and so progress could not be made.

Optimizing what I do to give the team and decision makers optionality has been a big one for me. I don't want to have a fragile plan that minimizes my effort if it forces things to be done in sequence. Multiple independent changesets solve the problem faster and better.

Reduction of coupling is a related concept - it's always better if two things can be two things, not one interconnected hairball.
There's a lot of confused comments on this thread. "Front running" in the strictest sense means illegal trading that involves taking advantage of trades that you know will happen and you have a responsibility not to exploit. "Front running" is also used informally to mean legally trading prior to trades that you anticipate happening. Studying the rules of an index and buy a stock just before its added to the index and index funds are required to buy it is "front running" in the second sense.
That' doesn't address the main point of the ge96's comment though, which is that we seem to be replacing a problem with a dependence in medication, which could cause further problems. It seems akin to solving the loneliness epidemic [1] or the prevalence of depression, which some call an "epidemic" [2], with anti-depressants.

The thing about jj is that it doesn't actually enable any new capabilities. I tell people to use emacs or vim or vscode or whatever instead of notepad because it gives them new capabilities, things that are simply unavailable unless you're talking to an LSP or running a full-powered scripting engine. jj doesn't make anything possible the way going from notepad to a real editor does. What jj does do is it makes everything so much easier that you can now actually use all of those features that git theoretically gave you. Rebases? No more fiddling, no more wedges, no more digging through the reflog because you fat-fingered something, you just go `jj rebase` and... that's it. And if you get it wrong, you just do `jj undo` and... that's it. And if you just had a six hour manic coding marathon without committing anything and now you want to spread its batch of changes back down through your patch stack, you just do `jj absorb` and... that's it. It's not the difference between notepad and emacs where you're going from no LSP to LSP, it's the difference between emacs@2016 where LSP support is a week-long adventure and emacs@2024 where LSP support is five lines copy-pasted out of the info page.

There would be more people interested in aviation choosing to be ATC than a pilot if our pay matched that of major airline pilots.

There are people going through the training and then quiting when they realize that can't get an opening in their hometown because that spot is reserved for a random person one week behind them in the FAA academy, and the pay won't make it worth moving away from their family.

There are more examples, and appropriate pay would fix most of them.

(Opinions are my own and not necessarily that of the FAA.)

Lofi music is a really popular genre to listen to as background music, I wouldn't say it's a tired genre. Perhaps for creators it is, but for listeners it's not.
Chat is a great UX _around_ development tools. Imagine having a pair programmer and never being allowed to speak to them. You could only communicate by taking over the keyboard and editing the code. You'd never get anything done.

Chat is an awesome powerup for any serious tool you already have, so long as the entity on the other side of the chat has the agency to actually manipulate the tool alongside you as well.
The Amazon rainforest's soil is extremely poor in nutrients and very shallow due to all the rain. In addition, at least 50% of the rain it gets comes from the trees themselves. The division between abiotic and biotic factors is a lot more fuzzy than people realize

The Sahara's sand is actually full of a lot of nutrients. In fact the massive Saharan sandstorms that traverse the Atlantic Ocean are a significant source of fertilizer for the Amazon rainforest

All the elements are there. You just need the right weather and plant life to get things going.

Of course we can't ignore the human element. Archeological evidence suggests humans played a massive role in transitioning the Amazon Rainforest from the grassland it once was to the jungle it now is. Reforestation projects, Great Green Wall, half-moon berm projects, etc are all way way more effective than they were just a few years ago. We're learning a lot about how much humans can do to revitalize soils

Let's be 100% clear on this

Assad and Ghadaffi destroyed Syria and Lybia respectively being asshole dictators that caused revolutions and that attempted to stay in power by claiming over mountains of dead Syrians and Lybians. The west didn't interfere much in Syria so Assad was able to stay in power a while longer and kill many more of his own citizens. The west messed up the post revolution period but letting Gaddafi do what he wanted would have lead to a worse situation

I'm a 3rd-year PhD student studying programming languages and type systems. I'm looking for an internship for the summer. Something aligned with my research would be best for me, but I have also done many (~8) years of work as a full-stack web developer, most recently in Elixir.
It's interesting to compare this series to the actual source code of sqlite. For example, sqlite uses a LALR parser generator:
https://github.com/sqlite/sqlite/blob/master/src/parse.y#L19...

And queries itself to get the schema:
https://github.com/sqlite/sqlite/blob/802b042f6ef89285bc0e72...

Lots of questions, but the main one is whether we have made any progress with these new toolchains and programming languages w/ respect to performance or robustness. And that may be unfair to ask of what is a genuinely useful tutorial.
To me it's equally as wild that you say such a thing when no system in human history did as much as capitalism to alleviate hunger and disease. In fact all other systems combined still can't touch the progress we've made to eradicate famine and disease while "under capitalism".
Is there a website that let me auto-queue music based on what I have listened to in the past, and is not a for-profit algorithm like Youtube and Spotify?

With Youtube, I feel like I am the product, and they can't wait to put "sponsored" songs into my feed.

It's predominantly used for speculation. Back in the real world, it's the only purpose it has. There is no way around it.
That suggests a clumsy PAC-driven campaign to shove a candidate into your feed, without actually doing anything meaningful to update the algorithm for general Republican/conservative propaganda.

Part of it might have also been the (remarkably cynical and dishonest) Arabs for Trump movement, directly linking Trump campaign stuff to pro-Palestinian viewers.
I just checked the wiki, but can't find the far-right references.

There is some chatter in the Talk page about some members of the group associating with far-right figures and pushing some very dodgy views on far-right topics. Is this what you are referring to?
I would say the more a given app/feature has network effects the more invested I am in it being cross-platform. For example, iMessage and Facetime are highly social. Apple was resistant to adopting the RCS protocol for iMessage, though they eventually caved and now the experience of texting between iPhones and Androids is better for both parties so it seems preferable to me.

Meanwhile, we take it for granted that there is a protocol for audio calls and text messages but not for video calls. I would like to more easily video call people with iPhones, and doing so would be technically possible but I can't because Apple benefits from the network effect. If I were to get an iPhone it would not be because Apple did a better job at creating a video call feature, it will be because people I know have iPhones and I want to call them. This seems like it gives incumbents in the space a large advantage because they can compete on having a user base and not on quality.

Ironically, Apple itself developed such a protocol for events and RSVPs (ICS), at a time when they didn't have market dominance. This caught on and it is great. I can make a calendar event in Google Calendar, Outlook, or Apple Calendar and invite anyone from any of those platforms. They can RSVP and I can track their RSVPs and they can also create events in their systems and invite me. This is the kind of thing I like to encourage where possible.
I was surprised how easy it was to integrate. I'm on GrapheneOS/FDroid. I installed the ntfy app and connected it to my ntfy server. I wanted to set it up for Tusky (Mastodon app). I was confused about the lack of instructions. What do I set on Tusky? What do I set on all my Mastodon servers? It turned out there were no instructions. I was already configured for Tusky. Tusky found the ntfy app, got my ntfy server's URL from it, and passed it on to the Mastodon servers.

Now, I actually think this is a little too easy. What if I want to keep my ntfy server private for certain at-home uses? But still, very impressive. Element does it right, it at least asks you when you open the app (or it's in a setting or something). But I think UnifiedPush or ntfy instructions should make these steps more clear (or I failed to find it), even if just to say "it's actually that easy" to save our time looking.

BTW I'm working on porting ntfy to Sandstorm. Already works, I just have a handful of loose ends.
It's not clear to me exactly what they have moved, but two of my (very old) Simple IRA accounts got forcefully moved without my approval, and a 401k rollover into a self-managed IRA is still around. Not sure what the difference was exactly.
