Here is a 3 months old thread showing that Apple Music trial gets cancelled right away: https://www.reddit.com/r/assholedesign/comments/1g664x4/appl...
As far as I read online: yoy can consciously understand, is not the music shifted but you, but it will sound off.

There seems to be a “treatment” whichbis to listen to music and gradually change its speed. If done for (i think) it was 2 ha or so, you can throw a person withbperfect pitch off. The effects seem to last for a couple of months. Again, that is all I found online, but that las bit is based on papers of scientific studies.

Yep! You're right, it does have the ability to bundle -- that's my bad. Rollup is just much better at bundling for production, just like TinyGo. Similarly, esbuild is better for development, just like Go.

Wouldn't it be awesome if there was like a national registry of police who had been terminated or resigned to avoid termination that police departments could use as a part of the hiring process?

Good news: there is!

Bad news: a large swathe (in the majority, actually) of Police Department Collective Bargaining Agreements forbid the use of this registry in making hiring decisions...
This looks promising!

One suggestion to make it more usable:

If I hover over a word in the foreign language, I should instantly see the equivalent word(s) in English highlighted. This way I can look up the words I do not know know very quickly, w/o interrupting the listening experience.

Yes, I know I can click on a word to see what it means, but it's too slow for the purpose of identifying its English equivalent.
I agree, but the core reason for this has nothing to do with either of the points you mention. There are few other sub-cultures that come anywhere close to the (avg.) level of passion and narrow focus than game dev. And you absolutely need it, because it is very complex and usually badly paid.

This is your lucky day, because you get to learn about the Government Accountability office! Formed literally over 100 years ago to literally provide professional and non-partisan audit and investigative services to the government! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Government_Accountability_Offi...

This is probably a good time to do some reflection on your current world view. You thought that it seemed possible, and possibly even likely that the largest and most powerful government in the world was operating completely without any sort of accounting checks as it worked with literal trillions of dollars a year, and that none of the hundreds of thousands, possibly millions of people who make up the workforce of this organization had any motive to try and responsibly carry out their duties and spend their money. They were all just irredeemably committed to flagrantly wasting your money and enriching themselves on your tax dollars, instead of taking seriously the responsibility they had.

As it turns out, this is just a completely ludicrous fantasy. There are already numerous mechanisms in place to combat fraud and waste, staffed by competent professionals who generally try their best to uphold the trust granted to them. Some of them might even be your friends or neighbors. They're people, just like you, and are generally trying to do a good job and move society forward.

In any multi-trillion dollar organization there is going to be waste and fraud. Like the battle against entropy it can never be fully won, its an ongoing battle that is fought each year. There will be scandals of misspent money, and victories of services delivered for good value on the dollar spent. Its not some sort of black and white, good vs evil struggle, and the fact you thought that literally no one had every thought to do this before should probably give you pause the next time you start to think about politics.

Wars.ai Is Bidding on Infowars
These last 2-3 years have made it very tangibly clear how much of our industry's job market is tied to whims of the investor class. I have zero belief that any softening in the software job market is based on anything other than a shift in capital and a fad for layoffs and hiring freezes. But that doesn't mean folks in leadership won't use AI as a talking point to force a rebalancing in power between employer and employee and drive down wages.
I'm surprised that SteamOS is not listed in the stats. Despite what the article suggests, SteamOS already exists. On the Steam Deck.

Maybe the number of Steam Decks sold is too small to show up in the statistics? Or maybe it reports as Arch, which is the top category of Linux here.

In any case, I'd like to express my gratitude for Steam's excellent Linux support. If anyone is going to usher in the year of the Linux Desktop, it's Steam.

Delphi is still reasonably popular in some niches. It has a powerful but easy WYSIWYG GUI builder and is close to the hardware without being C++, making it decently popular for tooling for industrial hardware.

I do not know how FastHTML works with AI, but for the recent Svelte 5, which has a similar llms.txt file, it's clear to me that actual usage patterns are required over explanatory llms.txt content with instructions. In Svelte 5 usage, it's consistent at certain things which the docs spell out for version 5 and would not be in the training data (runes) but not in their placement, reactivity, or usage changes implied by the system (e.g. changes of information flow outside of props/states)

It seems similar to a cheat sheet which has formulas, vs a cheat sheet with worked through sample problems that align perfectly with the test.

The latter exists for historic modules - the former is the best you can do for recent libraries/versions.

I am not sure where React stands as I know they have changed their reactivity model and introduced patterns which reduce boilerplate code. Can anyone comment on the latest react version used with AI?
No AI here. Not that you seem to be directing this question at me.

Yes, you are technically correct and yet, from the HN guidelines:

"Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith.

Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something.

Please don't pick the most provocative thing in an article or post to complain about in the thread. Find something interesting to respond to instead."

It's not particularly interesting or informative that the author made a rhetorical mistake.

USDS really did represent the best of the federal government. They modernized hundreds of websites, brought accessibility and mobile access to the forefront, improved usability, and a lot of that work is invisible, slow, internal politics/battles.

Understandably everyone is upset about what "DOGE" is doing. But on top of those harms, the killing of USDS (or at least ending its core mission) is also a real harm.

Commonly the propaganda or myth is a better story than the truth. It's nicer to be in a story about pedos conspiring in a fast food restaurant than being forced to work to pay for universal healthcare in Israel but not getting it yourself.

The toil and confusion and nastiness of everyday life under capitalism is not as fun and exciting as an imminent invasion at the southern border or the coming rise of the God Emperor or the final solution to groceries being expensive. Running a soup kitchen and washing clothes for the homeless just hasn't the same attraction as doing nothing by chasing the next Q-drop.

Seriously, the moment there's a linux distro that really "just works", even with games on NVidia cards, I think Windows will lose a very large chunk of market share. So many people are sick of it, but most people still fear that stuff won't work right on Linux.

No, AI isn't.

Any new tech, or version upgrade, or whatever, takes time for people to become familiar with it. You might as well say "Stack Overflow is stifling new tech adoption" because brand-new stuff doesn't have many Q's and A's yet. But that would be a silly thing to say.

I'm not going to adopt a brand-new database regardless of LLM training data cutoff, just because enough people haven't had enough experience with it.

And LLM's have a commercial incentive to retrain every so often anyways. It's not like we're going to confront a situation where an LLM doesn't know anything about tech that come out 5 or 10 years ago.

Early adopters will be early adopters. And early adopters aren't the kind of people relying on an LLM to tell them what to try out.
> Why should that be a requirement?

Originally I said "the premise is that any difference breaks the code".

You replied with "Not any."

That is where the requirement comes from, your own words. This is your scenario, and you said not all differences would break the hypothetical code.

This is your choice. Are we talking about code where any change breaks it (like a seeded/reproducible RNG), or are we talking about code where there are minor changes that don't break it but using extra precision breaks it? (I expect this category to be super duper rare)

They are explicitly* asking us to take action--the onus is on them to explain to us why we should take action. They have not, so no action will happen. It's as simple as that. We aren't the ones asking for something to be done here.

"Vesi" means generically any kind of water and there are compound words for seawater and freshwater just like in English. There are several Vesijärvis in Finland, and now that I googled it, it's conjectured that the word vesi in the name does not refer to the water in the lake but rather derives from an archaic word meaning "outlet river".

Cars and trucks aren't limited to Texas editions. Some automakers also offer other state-specific packages. Like the Texas editions they are mostly plastic badges, cheap-ass trim "upgrades", block heaters for northern states, or lift kits and offroad tires for more rural states. Basically the same package you can get anywhere in the country for less because it doesn't mention a specific state.

> A decelerating car has negative velocity.

not really your point, but ??

a decelerating car has negative acceleration, and until it starts reversing relative to its start, it has velocity in whichever direction it started in -- presumably positive if that was your initial frame of reference. of course if you decided positive was the opposite direction from which the car was already going in, well, it started with negative velocity.

also to the GP, if you owe someone a sheep but don't have any, you really do have -1 sheep.
Wow, and this posture doesn't apply to junior developers, ie a good abstraction is needed to avoid overwhelming the human "context window."

But it is a shame--and possibly an existential risk--that we then begin to write code that can only be understood via LLM.
