This is really neat, and close to something I have always wanted to implement for managing a small local notes handling system.

(As a side note which may be a kind of artifact of coding turf wars, I just can't consider a Node application with a number of dependencies truly lightweight, no matter how straightforward in practice. I know this is more lightweight than most comparably scoped applications, and the term lightweight often just implies fast / efficient / easy, but the overhead required for a standard Node JS setup appears contrary to the concept of lightweight in principal. Have at me).
> Data centers don’t need any water.

Is this using "need" to only mean "there is no possible alternative in any design"?

Your statement -implies- datacenters don't use water for cooling or, if they do, it isn't enough to cause any problem.

How do you square this with the fact that lots of datacenters DO use water for cooling? Yes, if water was prohibitively expensive businesses would find alternatives - that's what prohibitively expensive means so I'm not adding anything more than a tautology here.

Similarly does your claim that at worst this is a mispricing of water mean that they DO use water and it drives the cost up? Isn't that the point here, that businesses driving up the cost of water is bad for the people that also need (your definition of "need" above) water?

A mistake I see people repeating over and over, is never restarting their conversations with a edited initial message.

Instead of doing what the author is doing here, and sending messages back and forward, leading to a longer and longer conversation, where each messages leads to worse and worse quality replies, until the LLM seems like a dumb rock, rewrite your initial message with everything that went wrong/was misunderstood, and aim to have whatever you want solved in the first message, and you'll get a lot higher quality answers. If the LLM misunderstood, don't reply "No, what I mean was..." but instead rewrite the first message so it's clearer.

This is at least true for all ChatGPT, Claude and DeepSeek models, YMMV with other models.

Based on the article's description of jury selection, this seems like a case where the jury was probably biased but the verdict will not be overturned on appeal for that reason. The appeal on that issue probably won't be very helpful to forming an opinion because the bar is unreasonably high and 99.999% of trial lawyers are bad at making the record. Perhaps they can win on a transfer of venue appeal or something, which is quite a long shot but maybe not as long as jury selection bias. (I'm a former jury consultant and a non-practicing lawyer).

>Mexico City was built on top of what used to be a large body of water, which would make its water shortage appear ironic if it wasn’t so tragic. In the early 1300s, the Mexica (or Aztecs) settled on an island in the middle of what used to be a huge lake called Texcoco, the largest among five intertwined lakes.

But after the arrival of the Spaniards, the city started to expand, and the urban sprawl caused the lake system to dry up. By the early 20th century, the rivers feeding the once-rich lake zone were put into pipelines to make way for motor vehicles. Very little is left of the lakes, while the rivers have become practically invisible.

Software may have great features but the gimmicks are unsafe.

Now, it was my fault I let my kids do this - but the design (game had priority over driving) made me question the company's priorities.

But also ironically, it's almost heartwarming these days to see blogspam that's not machine-generated! A real live human cared enough about an article to write a brief (perhaps only barely substantial, but at least handwritten) take on it!

It's reminiscent, perhaps, of the feel and motivation for Tumblr reblogs - and Tumblr continues to be vibrant by virtue of this culture: https://www.tumblr.com/engineering/189455858864/how-reblogs-... (2019)

Now, is driving attention and reputation to their site (in the broadest senses) part of a blogspammer/reblogger's motivation? Absolutely!

But should we be concerned about rewarding their act of curation, as long as there is at least some level of genuine curation intent? A world where that answer is categorically "no" would be antithetical, I think, to the concept of the participatory web.

Just casually throwing in 'overpopulation' when in so many places, water for actual human needs like drinking, bathing and even washing clothes, is a tiny fraction compared to much more wasteful things like grass, America's largest crop.

I live in a dry bit of the American west and municipal usage is a small fraction of water usage (about 8%). Agriculture is often not very efficient because of old water rules that give water to things like hobby farms when real farms downstream don't get what they need.

The Lack of Genuine Worker Representation

The All-China Federation of Trade Unions (ACFTU) is China's only legal trade union, and it is required by the Trade Union Law to "uphold the leadership of the Communist Party." Because one of the ACFTU's priorities is to organize and mobilize "vast numbers of workers to make contributions to the sound and rapid development of the economy," and to foster "harmony in labour relations" so that such development may take place, the vast majority of "trade unions" in enterprises effectively remain under the de facto control of management.

Ask HN: Burned by Apple Repair, are there any solutions?
Took my perfectly working 2020 MacBook Pro to the Apple Store last week for a battery replacement—quoted $249+ tax. They sent it to their service center, then said it wouldn’t power on, blaming a logic board failure, and upped it to $698+ tax. It worked fine at drop-off.

I've tried my best escalating but to no avail. I got it back unrepaired yesterday and it is completely dead now. It worked before Apple touched it, I don't know what to do, posting this from my phone.

Has anyone dealt with this? Any ideas on how to get it back to working condition again?

While that's true it has very little to do with Mexico City's specific issues. It's at 7300 feet elevation surrounded by a ring of mountains that keep out a lot of the rain and moisture, and there's already not that much agriculture going on given the limited space.

That's fascinating, and I had no idea web dev influencers were so big. I checked, and there really are people with millions of followers doing development. Personally, the idea of learning anything related to coding through a video is extremely frustrating. It's a text medium. I want to look at things, take time, think it over, compare code, follow references, look up functions.

That people like video formats isn't really surprising to me since it's everywhere, but I still don't fully understand the appeal. Even if you were raised on video content and started coding that way, at some point you have to reference text documentation, right? At that point, I would think you would just stick to the text and not go back to the video, but maybe it's just more entertaining the other way.

We're constantly deanonymized, it just happens below the surface. And all of this is hoovered up by the US dragnet surveillance programs.

Hello! Dagger CEO here. We are indeed getting an influx of AI workloads (AI agents to be specific, which is the fancy industry term for "software with LLMs inside"), and are of course trying to capitalize on that in our marketing material. We're still looking for the right balance of CI and AI on our website. Crucially, it's the same engine running both. Because, as it turns out, AI agents are mostly workflows under the hood, and Dagger is great at running those.

Because the light we're seeing from this galaxy is from only 300 million years after the big bang. Elements like oxygen primarily form in supernovae, and the abundance of oxygen and other heavy elements in this extremely young galaxy is ten times higher than expected.
Water is a slightly cheaper way to reject heat if you have unlimited almost free water. I don’t think you’d use water for cooling if you had to pay residential water rates instead of like agricultural rates for water. It’s not at all a showstopper to just dump the heat into the air without using an evaporative cooler. It just costs somewhat more. Compared to the capital cost of an NVidia GPU server, the cost is small.

> “To replace programmers with AI, clients will have to accurately describe what they want. We're safe.”

I've had similar sentiments often and it gets to the heart of things.

And it's true... for now.

The caveat is that LLMs already can, in some cases, notice that you are doing something in a non-standard way, or even sub-optimal way, and make "Perhaps what you meant was..." type of suggestions. Similarly, they'll offer responses like "Option 1", "Option 2", etc. Ofc, most clients want someone else to sort through the options...

Also, LLMs don't seem to be good at assessment across multiple abstraction levels. Meaning, they'll notice a better option given the approach directly suggested by your question, but not that the whole approach is misguided and should be re-thought. The classic XY problem (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XY_problem).

In theory, though, I don't see why they couldn't keep improving across these dimensions. With that said, even if they do, I suspect many people will still pay a human to interact with the LLM for them for complex tasks, until the difference between human UI and LLM UI all but vanishes.

Based on our current models, it takes a long amount of time for elements as heavy as oxygen to be formed, especially in large enough quantities that it can be detected. And when looking at a very distant galaxy, what we're seeing is an image of how it looked like very early in its lifetime. So, the expectation based on certain models was that oxygen would not have yet formed at the time in the history of the universe when this image left towards us.

The expectation is indeed that all galaxies will have more or less the exact same elements that we have at ~13 billion years of age. But the image here is from a galaxy that was, at the time the image was emitted towards us, much younger than that.

Agreed, and I'd add that "obsolete" is a strong word. You can run an older framework for a long, long time. So long as people exist who know your stack and can be hired to work on it when needed, your stack is not "obsolete". "Dated", maybe. "Legacy" is also sometimes an accurate term. But until the day comes when nobody is left who will work on it, it is not "obsolete".

No it isn't. It's very easy to misuse so even skilled people misuse it.

Depends on what this and that are. If they are things that are easy to misuse and many people do, then it's a reflection of the programming language. If they're well-designed and it's only you getting it wrong, then it's your limited skills.
