Its usually not hugely controversial, but there is that small minority here too...

Some points I feel compelled to make:

About 52% of URBAN voters support outright firearm bans but that number goes down when rural is added. I've always believed regulations for urban and rural environments should be different when it comes to firearms.

The vaguely defined "assault" weapons clarification always draws criticism so i'm going to avoid it. Personally I support banning fully automatic weapons, concealed/shortened shotguns, high capacity drum magazines, bump stocks and other items that exist to increase lethality in ways that cannot be justified for sport or hunting purposes. I also support restricting handguns, restricting magazine sizes, and other regulations. Most people that are against assault weapons I personally talk to agree the looks aren't the problem its the capabilities. Tacticool is fine, any gun being used for a crime will be scary. My point is that there is a lot that can and can't be included in 'assault' weapons, and everyone has their own list of what they do and don't think applies, so that 80% number isn't homogonized on what they are supporting.

We both 100% agree its a privilege that should be earned not a right. Testing and responsible ownership are requirements of keeping that privilege. Steps need to be taken to ensure that volatile domestic or mental health situations that are known to police and communities aren't left to fester with easy access to weapons. We also need to focus on illegal guns crossing our border from the south.
It's based on depictions of Anubis in pop media, a jackal that weighs your soul and if it's heavier than a feather you die. Figured it was a good vibe for a bot filter project.

I agree with Angular 2 not really being the same as Angular 1. Angular in general was a lot less stable, pushing API breaks inside of release candidates and generally just playing fast and loose with things. That said, there was a migration path to go from Angular 1 to 2 incrementally. It wasn't fantastic, but if you had a large Angular 1 app, it was absolutely better than rewriting the whole damn thing.

Angular took a while longer to become more stable. React considered all of its early releases to be 0.x releases, until (I believe) 0.14 -> 15.0, at which point I'd certainly consider React fairly stable. Angular, meanwhile, was kinda unstable until I'd say around v4. Which to be honest, was still a while ago (Google says 2017) but it does bear mentioning.

> React hat a major paradigm shift with the advent of functional components and hooks. They were compatible, but very different from another.

The thing is, functional components are not new. They were a part of React 10 years ago, before React was formally considered stable. I do think hooks came a bit later, but it wasn't that much later. I know that many early React clones supported stateless functional components pretty early on.

And yes, compatibility is key. You can continue to use class components indefinitely. I don't think they have any plans to deprecate them any time soon.
The other big thing I’m wondering about is how much the invasion of Ukraine has people reconsidering super-expensive fighters versus drones and missiles. It feels like the cost-benefit ratio has fundamentally shifted in a way everyone is still fully updating their tactics for.
Ugh, what a nightmare, now search engines are going to start optimizing for bots.
The Saab JAS 39E Gripen is fine for what it is, and perfectly capable of limited missions like homeland defense. But it's not survivable for penetrating strikes into defended airspace (i.e. Russia). And it's quite small which, while an advantage in some scenarios, means that if you load it up with external fuel tanks and ordinance for a long range strike mission then performance and efficiency goes to crap.

The Gripen is powered by the US-made GE F414 engine, so any purchases can still be vetoed by the US government and buyers will be dependent on US supply chains for maintenance.
> Get there now or you won’t have a home to land in

Really? A country that engages with neighbours that are barely able to send primitive missiles, while its last generation (US) jets drop bombs straight on their capital cities any time they want, with total impunity? And you still repeat this "poor existentially threatened country" propaganda?
Doctors (in the US) tend to pay a whole lot for insurance because they can be sued for huge amounts of money when they screw up. Being confidently wrong and deviating from the standard of care by dismissing things or mistreating them is exactly the sort of thing that loses them malpractice cases.

Of course an after the fact payout may not be able to make you whole.
> and equipment vastly outclasses what any civilian can and will have even in the US.

not really. In urban setting, it is still the same soldier on foot with rifle, unless military decides to level all cities in the country.

I agree that if it's illegal for LLMs to lie then it's illegal for them to exist. We can let other people argue about whether or not that would be a good thing.

One thought is that similar to how you can ask Google Maps to blur your house in street view, maybe you should be able to ask OpenAI to block any output that contains your name. They already do this for other types of illegal or undesired content, and this would go some way towards the "right to be forgotten" that is required in Europe.
Right. So Canada needs a nuclear deterrent in order to _not_ become the 51st state.
That's a start! Forgive me, I'm heading into a meeting but I want to share some resources with you. It's close to the end of my day so I'll check back in the morning. If you prefer to continue the conversation on another platform, I'm happy to exchange emails or Discord handles. Also consider posting at community[.]apollographql[.]com, the Apollo Client team tries its best to respond to everyone who asks for help there. Any code snippets would be helpful to illustrate observed vs. ideal state when migrating.
I hadn't noticed that. I guess that is how they manage the capital controls. It sounds like they are supposed to be the same internally but that there is a spread. That seems like it could be a weakness.
Yeah this is what I meant, both in the behavior being intelligent and it being unfortunate that this is the case. It’d be nice if the most self-maximizing behavior were also the best behavior for the global system, but it doesn’t seem that it is.
If I’m just volunteering, I can choose what to work on, when to work on it and there is absolutely nothing at risk. What time constraints am I under if I’m just volunteering?
I agree with their assessment. It uses some nifty storage tricks and I really appreciate the ability to know when packages are accidentally depending on dependencies they haven’t declared.
That's an ... odd take. As "Chatbots" replace search engines, why would we be OK with them spitting out false information that could have massive impact on our lives, just to "protect" the big tech company churning them out from oversight?

If the NY Times published an article saying similar [false] things about someone, should they NOT sue to protect legacy media??
Do you think that if it's a non-Google company, that maybe doesn't rank search by ad payment $$$, that this new company could in theory do a better job?
Is there any viable alternative to pass knowledge to the LLMs that goes beyond their training cut off date?

I meant to contrast those things, you could be run over by a truck at a German Christmas market because it has happened a lot(relative to the size of Germany) of times but almost no tourists to the US are ever shot by strangers. You only hear about one of these things in the context of travel danger.

This is the correct takeaway from my comment. While kind of you, I wasn't fishing for a longer trial offer or even in the market for this solution. I was pointing out how a short trial preemptively narrows your top of funnel in terms of signup conversion. If you believe in your software/company, you should be prioritizing signups because you believe you will be able to convert them eventually.

If you give the user time to get through all of the integrations/setup steps, you should be even more confident in your ability to convert them as they're invested at that point.

If you're worried about the 'load' of a user on your SaaS, then you have bigger issues to solve because the unit economics of having a low usage/free tier user should be essentially free. If a user does require a lot of human touch/support during their trial, then I feel like you handle that manually on a case by case basis. It's likely going to be rare and you can decide how to handle (eg. talk to them about paying for support / moving to a paid plan / etc). I tend to believe you're missing out on the learning and feedback loop from these types of users even if you perceive them as unprofitable or what have you.
Welcome to the world of CAPTCHAs
Realistically, as long as the US is a stable ally (which is currently in dispute), what does Canada need from its military? It's highly unlikely to be attacked based on distance to potential foes and proximity to the US. An attack from the US would be hard to defend on a military basis --- the difference in forces is overwhelming. Canada would need to heavily rely on alliances to defend against attack from the US, but logistics would be difficult; better to push on diplomacy and/or convincing US armed forces to refuse orders to attack their neighbor.

The Canadian armed forces participate in international missions in cooperation with other forces, and in domestic matters. You don't really need fighter aircraft for domestic missions; and for international missions you need whatever will work in coalitions. With a stable US pushing the F-35, the F-35 is a reasonable candidate for coalition work. Without a stable US, the F-35 is a poor candidate; presuming Canada would continue to be allied with NATO ex-US, whatever that group decides is the future is going to be a better choice.

I think they could be a decent provider for SOHO options... such as the space filled by Synology on the lower end. It's pretty competitive on cost, but Apple could really play it in concert with their wifi/airplay solutions etc. Like a home-base for SOHO.

Then again, the more I think on it, the worse an idea it is. Too locked-in and out for being able to run the likes of Jellyfin, etc. It could be a good option for a "Server" mac.. but would still make more sense for it to run Linux as a base.

its theoretical assumption, but looking at my personal experience, it doesn't look like doctors feel much pressure to do some deep research, and they just give some semi-generic advises which could contradict actual studies.

Edit 3: My hypothesis about state impact doesn't hold (forgot that Mexico follows the same system as the US of direct governer elections plus a mix of direct and proportional representation).

That said, now I'm curious about how public funds are disbursed to localities. How do local municipalities and unincorporated areas get services funded in Mexico?
Ya for sure, I’m not ragging on the small library devs. Mostly that’s not where the problem is anyway, because they tend to do a small subset of things reasonably well and so there’s not a lot of reason to change.
The trick is to just make everything hard to use, then it's not easy to misuse.
Publicly, it needs to be done in public.
I'm being a bit tongue in cheek. But we really do dump a lot of resources into lawns https://legacy.geog.ucsb.edu/the-lawn-is-the-largest-irrigat...

Probably not negative, but component maintenance is a huge longtail revenue stream for avionics. Pretty much every electronic and mechanical component has to be pulled periodically and tested, which costs, and replaced or refurbished. My first proper job, that's how they made the majority of their revenue. They lost money on the development effort, maybe broke even after initial sales, and profited off the fact that aircraft are kept around for decades and every 5 years their part had to be pulled and sent back to them for testing and replacement.

The more Airbus or Boeing own inside the aircraft, the more they can play into this model. 787 is a great example of Boeing hurting themselves through their outsourcing, but greatly assisting their suppliers.
In my opinion, unless if you need its ability to figure out when something should rebuild or potentially if you already use it, Make is not the right tool for the job. You should capture your pipeline jobs in scripts or similar, but Make just adds another language for developers to learn on top of everything. Make is not a simple script runner.

I maintained a Javascript project that used Make and it just turned into a mess. We simply changed all of our `make some-job` jobs into `./scripts/some-job.sh` and not only was the code much nicer, less experienced developers were suddenly more comfortable making changes to scripts. We didn't really need Make to figure out when to rebuild anything, all of our tools already had caching.

Ask HN: Developers, how did you find a designer to make your product look great?
Any developers out there who went from terrible looking product to awesome by getting a designer?

Developers make functional stuff that often looks terrible or very average.

And people say “you really need a designer to make that look great”.

But how do you even do that?

I imagine it would be hard for a non developer to find a great developer. Seems like a non designer has the same challenge finding a designer.

I don’t want to go bottom of the market but I also don’t have the money to match corporate design rates, so I also have no idea what to pay.

Did you go from ugly to beautiful and how did you do it, curious to know.
Honestly, I don't even really care that much which frontend library wins, and I've been mostly happy with React as a foundation to build off of. If the future is some Rust-based framework compiled to WASM, that's ultimately fine with me. Just as long as whatever it is is relatively performant and stable and doesn't add 1 megabyte of code to every pageload.

> Write as much CI logic as possible in your own code

Nix really helps with this. Its not just that you do everything via a single script invocation, local or ci, you do it in an identical environment, local or ci. You are not trying to debug the difference between Ubuntu as setup in GHA or Arch as it is on your laptop.

Setting up a nix build cache also means that any artefact built by your CI is instantly available locally which can speed up some workflows a lot.
I would say it doesn't prevent anything, it just makes computers warm the planet more.
> throwaway account because I read they check the phone, laptops at the boarder

You should be aware that it has been an official recommendation for e.g. athletes participating in international events in, erm, some countries, to get themselves 'burner' (throwaway) phones just for the purpose so there's nothing much to glean from the device. If you're considering to travel internationally with a laptop well here are my condolences, why spend so much time, money and effort just to shlep around that silly thing.
I agree 100%, but "JavaScript only when needed" is a loaded phrase. Especially when you don't have an engineering-centric culture.

Product/Design teams will kick and scream into getting you to add as much javascript tchotchkes as possible with zero regard for usability, performance, accessibility or good engineering.
Even in places where there’s infinite land literally you can buy 50 acres and develop it tomorrow and people are building it. They’re only building high-end luxury homes. Even the cheapest smallest townhomes are definitely into the low luxury area.

If they wanted to, they could build them much more affordable and save 30% off the total price, but nobody does it. Why not? It takes the same amount of time and you might as well build the more expensive one because someone will buy it and you get a percentage of the sale price.

The problem in the article is LLMs can recognize a request about a person's name but generate a fake story because it doesn't really have information about them, not that the LLM spit out random data which happened to appropriately respond to the question about who the person was with incorrect info each time by pure random chance. Also per the article, when the LLM recognizes a person's name it now performs a search query instead.

I'm not saying this makes LLMs infallible, I'm saying this turns the problem in the article into a search query to prevent the defamation problem due to generating fake information about them by replacing it with the externally sourced and cited search information.

"some sort of language" covers a wide range. Some song birds learn their songs, but the songs are stereotyped--the bird sings pretty much the same thing over and over, and there's no evidence that Bird A is communicating anything to other birds beyond "This is my territory, stay away!" to males and "Hey girl!" to females. Modern human languages are several steps above this on the Chomsky hierarchy, with at least context-free phrase structure, and in some cases reportedly context-sensitive phrase structure.
