Don't try and fight reality. You'll just end up tired, frustrated, and in the exact same spot years later.

Just like Python itself, unfortunately yes.

FWIW you can pass to other arguments than first in this syntax ``` params |> Map.get("user") |> create_user() |> (&notify_admin("signup", &1)).() ``` or ``` params |> Map.get("user") |> c

I'm personally someone who advocates for languages to keep their feature set small and shoot to achieve a finished feature set quickly. However. I would be lying if I didn't secretly wish that all languages adopted the `|>` syn

To me what is wild is how this has been obvious even to people outside of Apple for dare a say a decade? (The Echo was released in 2014/2015) Its interesting that Tim Cook has let this go on for so long. I would love to know what the c

Im someone from the US whos at a conference in Canada. Just a good data point for you may not want to block on IP. Particularly if you think of remote companies with Staff in other countries who are part of hiring for US roles.

Also, I am based in the US but when I click the "Im hiring" button im told "Its only available in the US, give us your email and we'll let you know when we launch in your area"

This seems great, and surely well designed. But! I have one issue. You don't have a demo profile for me to view. I saw small pieces, but I didnt know if the investment in signing up would be worth the outcome, without knowing what the

Yeah unfortunately the world doesn't care about what we "want" only what it can make us do.

While “silly” this is likely the next paradigm/abstraction for intent based pages. You can imagine given 1,000,000 page views just how many experiments could be run. Basically our A/B tests start to resemble natural evolution and

Everything's a grey area and this seems light grey at best. Unethical is a stretch. In this case I'd recommend they'd push users to annual.

I'd rebrand this as "Tell HN: Dark patterns I don't want you to use on your pricing page" While they're sneaky and dis-ingenuous, I imagine the slight possibility it impacts your brand is outweighed by the large cha

Let me point to two things 1. China (they don't care about your copyright) 2. No single entity controls internet access. (thank god)

Agreed! Though if you think about it laws typically change after we agree (at the grassroots level) they are irrelevant, not before.

Sure, we can debate how creative or not LLM is right now, but that is not the real point that this all hinges on. The real point is copyright is no longer enforceable, and some of our biggest societal forces incentivize us to not care about

by bnchrch 2y ago
I think you missed the point. Technology has made enforcing copyright impossible, and any attempt to enforce it just hinders technological advancement, while still not solving the global enforceability of copyright. Lets stop wasting our ti

Maybe in a present: - Dominated by a intractable global manufacturer/technologist (China) that doesn't care about copyright - Proliferated by a communication network that doesn't care about copyright (Internet) and a future w

Seems pretty clear to me. The masses aren't on Bluesky, they're on instagram and twitter. And while both are owned by "tech bro cult" people, only one is owned by the head of the department you see as a problem. Doesn&#x

Great idea, looking forward to someone implementing it!

Now that doesnt mean they can impact social media networks. But you can't download those for offline use anyway so it's a bit moot.

Whats interesting about this case is the answer this year is both different than years prior and a reason why the great firewall cannot exist (knowledge wise). And the answer is, download an open source llm model. It will have most answers

This is the thing. Many of these Ive tried successfully. You need human oversight but as of today Ive been able to consistently: 1. Debug k8s and implement niche fixes 2. Write code faster 3. Fill out a slack update template from just talki

Same here! Im living over in Comox and spend a lot of time in Tofino / Ucluelet. Best part of all of Canada in my opinion. I particularly enjoy the winter trips to SF to show my colleagues pictures of the latest cold water surf adventu

Not before the companies leaders, board of directors and investors use it for some very profitable trading first.

Theres two futures I see. 1. We create near AGI 2. We create ASI (Artificial Super Intelligence) In the first scenario, an investment in any AI model company that does not own its own compute is like buying a tar pit instead of an oil well.

Unless... You have an AI listening and evaluating their oral exam. I know it sounds like a farce. Because it is. But it might also be a proper solution.

Honestly there's no point in Android XR. We can't trust Google to maintain even profitable endeavours past a couple years. And an investment in AR/VR hardware and software is likely over a decade long initiative. IMO They&#x2
