I don't like pair programming for personal and cultural reasons (eg: I am uncomfortable with the _process_, but not the results), but the people in the pro-pair-programming camp will say the quoted bit above is one of its strengths. You back/forth and fix or change things early in the process.

Doing a code review is "too late", since these early decisions that could have been made differently/better effect all the code that follows it into a further less-optimal space.
When did language devolve to "boot" being an adjective? What does that even mean?

I've just published a comprehensive prompt engineering guide (170 pages) based on my GitHub repo with 3K+ stars. It covers 22 techniques with detailed explanations, exercises, and practical examples arranged in progressive difficulty.
The guide teaches you to craft prompts that get faster, more accurate results from AI systems. Each chapter includes hands-on practice to ensure you've mastered the concepts.

Ask HN: What are your favorite podcasts?
I started listening to my first podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience, late last year. I only picked episodes with guests who really interested me. Some of my favorites were the ones with Jamie Foxx, Neil deGrasse Tyson, David Goggins, and Sam Harris.

But now, I’ve gone through all the episodes with guests I care about, and I’m looking for something new to dive into.

What podcasts do you enjoy, or what Joe Rogan episodes did you like that I should give a listen?
Tokyo proves that dense cities can maintain access to reasonably priced housing.
Funny how you finally regurgitate the Kremlin's talking points...

Ukraine had 0 chances from the start? But how come Russia couldn't get Kiev in 3 days as announced in Feb 22? How come Russia needs to ask North Korea for soldiers to supplement its own troops?
I feel they are actively shoring up the country’s foundations. For decades, since the Church committee in the 1970s and under Vice President Gore’s Reinventing Government initiative (which IIRC resulted in the removal of 100,000 government employees), disclosure of questionable or hidden programs was a core progressive value.
A chatbot can also score very highly on these tests. What do you think the survival rate of ChatGPT’s patients will be?

This is baffling to me. I recall this comment from the last week but it currently reads "4 hours ago". Algolia also shows it posted "4 days ago". Some sort of reposting functionality?

Considering the topic, it made me consider if I was having intense deja vu.

In much of the American West, water is the limiting factor. To build another Las Vegas, the water rights would need to be bought somehow.

Cities can outbid agriculture, but the water rights market is complicated.

A better example might be the California Forever project which seemingly had this figured out, but was blocked because they couldn't get permission.
That is kind of the value proposition for DANE though.

strenuous effort by their employees or are you telling me that the average billionaire works 50000 hours a day?
I think it’s pretty hard to show an employee is not acting in an official duty in regards to work material. I don’t think this is a sound legal opinion.

In the last few years, I learned how even if the media is truthful in its reporting, and fact checked, it can still be propaganda. It's what the media isn't reporting, that also matters.

For example, according to the mainstream media, nothing good ever happens in China. 1.4 billion people and not a single good thing happens there. It seems like it's 95% negative stories about China, 4% neutral, and 1% positive. Americans don't even know the daily lives and how people in China live. The typical HN commenter is just as clueless which shows how united the mainstream media is on China. No objectivity at all. Pure propaganda.
What functional, diplomatic purpose exists for calling him a "bozo"? What problems does this solve? Which tensions does this ease? Which conflicts does this stop? What sensitive government data does this un-leak? Which broken laws does this adjudicate? What usurped power is being brought back under control with this?

Or is it just contributing to a one-way ratchet that only ever increases partisan polarization and hostility for no reason at all, instead of seeking to de-escalate and solve problems?

P.S. this goes for Trump/Musk/DOGE supporters too. Name calling and vindictive personal attacks aren't decreasing the deficit, they're not paying off the debt, they're not reducing weaponization of government against conservatives, they're doing nothing to address border and immigration concerns, and they aren't reducing crime. So I ask you, too, what problems are being solved with vindictive, spiteful namecalling?

Where's the hyperbole you're complaining about?

The comment you're responding to says "...while letting the condition of the lakes further erode", which the article you linked to supports.

> ...extrapolation based on feeling rather than facts...

12 of 85 is a fact. It's basic logic to estimate the effect of this.

The administrator in the best position to understand the impact of this has provided an analysis: "Cutting back the control program by one-sixth would allow over one million lamprey to survive, McClinchey estimated. Those lampreys would eat nearly 5 million pounds of fish, equalling $105 million in lost economic output and potential, far outstripping the cost of the workers’ salaries."

What's your basis for dismissing this as feelings? It appears irrational.
The reason to let rich people keep their money is twofold: ethical economic activity is positive sum and rich people have shown an ability to generate these positive spillovers, and letting them keep it gives them an incentive to engage in this economic activity in the first place.

The former does not apply to heirs, and the latter only weakly applies.
I was working at a MNC a few years ago and some junior developer did this to one of our codebases "so he could work on it at home" (pre-covid). When it was discovered his access to everything was immediately shut off, company assets confiscated and he was escorted out the building by security.
I understand this is a tangent but you picked a really bad example. We should be trying to remove every single speed limit that we can.

If the design speed of a road does not match the speed limit of the road, people will drive the design speed, cops will learn to sit there all hours of the day waiting for people to mess up, and get ticketed. Instead of just putting up the speed limit sign, city planners should design for the road to be safe without need for the speed limits to be in place. This can mean things like reducing the width of a lane, could mean speed bumps, to purposeful non-straight sections.
It would appear that you're trying to present the two narratives as mutually exclusive. One of the points Mearsheimer is making is that both of these narratives are simulatenously true and the west must appreciate the geopolitics in play to enable foreign policy good enough to deal with this issue.

Besides the point, I'm not sure what any of this has to do with entropyneur's claim that NATO expanding is a "russian propaganda".
It is speedy, but you need to convert to the rails way. They have solved a lot of implementation problems related to crud applications and you can get a working application easily if your database and your UI is only separate by a few business logic rules.
To be fair, I currently don't think anything currently makes sense about the administration's "move fast and have other people fix the consequences later" approach towards slashing government programs by mass layoffs, other than private equity logic.

I don't think the current administration is currently politically incentivised to have a rationally-thought through solution, or plan, to making the USFS lean that keeps it doing the things we think are important.

> False dichotomy. The recommendation is for people on SSRIs to also do therapy.

One problem with that is that SSRIs are much more accessible than therapy. In my country, they are fully covered by social security and procuring them is relatively easy, while therapy is too expensive for lots of people.

> If you read further in your [1] you'll see that the rate of side effects is not "in excess of 70%" but lower, and it depends on both the medication and the dose. Switching medications and changing doses is often sufficient to ameliorate some or all of these effects.

In my case, and according to studies I'm not the only one, the side effects can be persistent. Neither the doctors nor the medication's notice warned me of this. If I knew that when I was young, I would have made different choices.

SSRIs did help me, but it cost me a lot, and I still cry about it. Of course, there is no way to know if this is a better outcome for me than what would have happened if I managed to refuse to take them.
The suggestion Musk was trying to "signal the nazis out there" is absurd. It's on the level of "Hitler liked dogs. Who else has aligned with Hitler's like-ideology?"
Are there people with those skills today? They seem to be in terribly short supply. I’ve seen more than one company spin its wheels for ages because nobody could clearly express an operational vision.
Just curious, who said this?
I'm not speaking about overall economic level. I'm speaking about inequality. Which was low in the Soviet Union and top 1% - which was also the most educated class and had the best access to information too - could not miss the fact that they were badly underpaid compared to their capitalist counterparts, even from poor capitalist countries. There was just not enough inequality.

And also, their lives were full of risks compared to capitalists who could at worst bankrupt their companies and walk away to their beachfront villas, Soviet elites that misstepped, ended up in Gulag.

Elites in the end, were the most intrinsically anti-Soviet part of the Soviet society: they had a lot to gain from the collapse of the System, and they indeed, did gain a lot when it happened.

One thing that Politburo could do to extend the life of the Soviet Union was to be softer on the elites by letting them freer access to foreign currency, facilitate their freedom of travel, owning foreign property and investments, and so on. They couldn't escape after all - they had no skills to make good money in the West.
> disclosure of questionable or hidden programs

We’re seeing more “claims” than “disclosures”. Can you point me any examples of the latter?
First they aren't, which is why Germany and other countries need to provide massive subsidies to producers. Also a source of energy that produces only when wind blows is quite useless, even if it's free. Your source of energy should produce when you have the need for it.

And storage is typically something thay doesn't scale, which is why Germany needs coal or gas to complement renewables. Polluting the rest of Europe while doing so.

Even the term of "renewables" is untrue, given the relatively short lifespan of most windfarms and solar panels. After 25 years you have to trash them, with no real way to recycle it.
Heh, yes I remember something similar with an old Nokia.
They did this back in their trading firm days, and...

Imagine that you have a sequence of numbers. You want to randomly select a window of, say, 1024 consecutive numbers, a sequence, as input to your model. Now, say, you have n items in this sequence, you want to sample n/c (c is a constant and << 1024) sequences in total. How to do fixed shuffle?

The key is, we have overlap in data we want to read. If we brute force fixed shuffle and expand, we need to save 1024/c times more than original data.

This isn't useful for LLMs, but hey, wonder how it started?

Alas, independent middle layers have long been the US solution to avoiding monopolies. This is the whole reason car manufacturers can't sell directly to consumers, and micro breweries can't sell to consumers except for on-site purchases. Breweries in particular have to sell to distributors, who sell to stores.

Banning the middle layers here (absent other changes) just means that the companies that replace their spots in the top 20 will be vertically integrated conglomerates that manufacturer, distribute, prescribe and provide insurance (i.e. payment plans) for pharmaceutical drugs.
If you think someone is obviously wrong, it might be worth pausing for a second and considering where you might just be referring to different things. Here, you seem to understand “this” to mean “a serious bug.” Since it’s obvious that a serious bug could happen, it seems likely that the author meant “this” to mean “the kind of bug that led to the breach we’re presently discussing.”

Of course they are, what did you expect would happen in war? Fighting with pillows? However it's not my responsibility to bear financially. My responsibility is caring for my own.

People are dying here as well as politicians are saying the healthcare is underfunded so clearly we need the cash back home.

The author concludes with becoming a novice again, and again, that's in a way similar to the idea of `Beginner's Mind`(shoshin) in Zen Buddhism[0]. Alan Watts would talk about this quite a bit.

I think that's a nice way to look at it, or even just, taking a step back and observing. Adding the next zero, or two, and in that, consider whether if it's worth it too.

You can get a decently fit body and be healthy by going to the gym or taking up some kind of sport and doing it weekly, and well you can become exceptionally fit by living by very strict rules. Whether that's worth it to you depends entirely on the person. Same applies for money, knowledge of the crafts, or even personal relationships. I am willing to spend a lot of time in computer science and I am very much interested in being the best person I can be, and honestly I am decently interested in a lot more things, but there's a certain amount of energy in me, certain obligations in life, and a certain balance to be made. I am happier when I believe I have struck the right balance for me.

I think there's more going on with the war than just he's anti-war, but I can kind of see this argument. But if we take it as true, it would seem that he's bad at working towards the things he professes to want. He either doesn't understand them or he pushes to get the fastest result without thought as to whether that would be the best.
Yes. Companies selling car engines, or bolts, or on-board entertainment systems, are b2b.
Of course they do. They've built entire careers around the concept that the whole economy can be models on N=1. Inequality doesn't fit into their models, so they dismiss it out of hand because otherwise the 20+ years of their life they've spent devoting to their craft proves to be no more useful than a horoscope.
Yes, I experienced this too. Is it a model issue or something related to the configuration and system prompts of Cursor?
The reality of the matter is that world was going that way anyway, as a result of weakness and mistakes past admins couldn't remedy (including Trump's).

The Russian army is IMHO not anywhere near collapse, it's suffering many casualties in a useless war (for Russia), but ultimately they have x4 people and industrial advantage (!). Trump is being very crass, but any US admin would seek to close this up since simply put Ukr is losing - yet Putin cannot take Kyiv either. What's left is everyone wasting a lot of blood for a some land in Donbass.

The pressure is applied too much on Ukraine though - Putin needs to made to climb down a bit, which is difficult given his advances but maybe doable (I think a threat of unilateral EU forces deployment could do it).
> The comic part of the situation is that Ukraine can stop it any time they choose as well.

When stopping means the genocide of your people and you personally being tortured and murdered, “stopping” isn’t really an option, is it.

> how Trump is treating Zelenskyy and praising Putin to know that he's in Putin's hip pocket

Ukraine has been my pet war for the last few years. I have to disagree.

Trump doesn’t particularly care what happens to Ukraine. He needs the dollars we’re sending to Europe to finance his tax cut and trade war. I’m less convinced Trump is acting at Putin’s direction than that he’s looking for the nearest guy to offload the problem onto.
Packaging began moving to China in the 2000s when Malaysia reached Mexico level salaries and costs, but it's returned to Malaysia (along with Thailand, Phillipines) after trade wars with South Korea and Japan happened.

>But wealth inequality has still grown quite a bit.

This is called stability. The more stable the system - the more value have investments.
It's one of the few I've not tried. Personally I believe all the psychoactive plants are tools with distinct purposes (to be prescribed if you will) - salvia is the one that I'm not sure what it should be used for, I guess it's a good tool to show very literally that everything is everything, that seems to be what it basically does?
And to get even more practical, “stability” is a comfort word rather than proof of a local optimum. We are not surprised when a dictatorship subdues an uprising because we are not surprised there was an uprising.
> So? The problem with security through obscurity is when it is the only security you are using. I didn't see anything in his comment that implied his only protection was the secrecy of his endpoints.

Directly, or unintentionally implied or not. That's an implication you're allowed to infer when obscurity is the only thing listed, because it's *very* common that is the only defense mechanism. Also, when given the choice between mentioning something that works (literally any other security measure), or mentioning something well known to fail more often than work (obscurity). You're supposed to mention the functioning one, and omit the non-functioning one. https://xkcd.com/463/

> Security through obscurity can be fine when used in addition to other security measures,

No, it also has subtle downsides as well. It changes the behavior of everything that interacts with the system. Humans constantly over value the actual value of security though obscurity. And will make decisions based on that misconceived notion. I once heard an engineer tell me. "I didn't know you could hit this endpoint with curl". The mental model for permitting secrets to be used as part of security is actively harmful to security. Much more than it has ever shown to benefit it. Thus, the cure here is to affirmatively reject security though obscurity.

We should treat it the same way we treat goto. Is goto useful, absolutely. Are there places where it improves code? Another absolutely. Did code quality as a whole improve once SWE collectively shunned goto? Yes! Security though obscurity is causing the exact same class of issues. And until the whole industry adapts to the understanding that it's actually more harmful than useful, we still let subtle bugs like "I thought no one knew about this" sneak in.

We're not going to escape this valley while people are still advocating for security theatre. We all collectively need to enforce the idea that secrets are dangerous to software security.

> and has tangible benefits in a significant fraction of real world situations.

So does racial profiling, but humans have proven over and over and over again, that we're incapable of not misusing in a way that's also actively harmful. And again, when there are options that are better in every way, it's malpractice to use the
error prone methods.
I always thought the same for todo.txt. Feels like showing a set of columns depending on the task and level of detail needed would be ideal. Someday I hope to tape together a proper todo.csv and calendar.csv ecosystem.
I think there's a distinction to be made between different scales of media. I find my local news sources fairly reliable and trustworthy; if they say some new statewide laws are coming into effect or that there's a big traffic jam due to a water main break, that's something you can hang your hat on.

National-level news, however, is a steaming pile of poo. There's always a juicy story happening somewhere, and national outlets lean heavily into superficial entertainment/shock value instead of "boring but very relevant" kinds of coverage you'd find locally. You can see this on cable news where they parade nutjobs in front of cameras from places that don't matter to most Americans. Why is it so important for non-leadership House reps from local districts in Georgia or New York to regularly have a national audience?
Because storage and grid infrastructure are immensely expensive and don't scale. Storage alone has negative returns above a certain capacity. You ask a country to rebuild its whole electrical infrastructure. It's a massive waste of capital.

Grid infrastructure requirements alone likely negates any ecological benefits given the amount of copper needed and the abysmal ecological conditions of copper mining.
Counter: Especially when they can decide without any resistance from the judicial branch who is an officer, an official, etc. They interpret all laws as being friendly to them and ignore the contradictions when it suits them.
