If by "harsh consequences" you mean a $20 fine for smoking pot/cigarettes/cigars in a crowded public places I guess maybe. If you're proposing locking people up that seems a bit extreme.
> that they'd stand a chance if the police and military decided they were gonna run shit?

See Afghanistan. Full might of US military couldn't permanently suppress the will of the people. And afghans were significantly less wealthy, armed and organized than gun owners in america.

There is no way the police and military could occupy the US without the support of the people. They would win every battle and lose the war, like Vietnam and Afghanistan. The modern military is very dependant on supply chains, and would collapse after 6 months if US workers revolted.

Not to mention the massive defections if ordered to fire on their own people (why we swear an oath to the constitution and not an oath of allegiance to military commanders).
That's not what OP said; they said it's society's job to social engineer government.

Politics is the allocation of scarce resources; so by definition it exhibits preferences in those allocations, whether the whim of a tyrant, an iron law of utility, or a social contract.

Guns versus butter is the toy example from macroeconomics 101, but absolutely government is the net sum of its opportunity costs.
>I don't know about fair use, but if the defendants are not in the US, then the concept of fair use is not even necessarily in play.

The suit is filed in California so I imagine that Fair Use, and the rest of the US legal code, is in play.
Most women don't get breast cancer, the 1 case in 3000 (again I don't know the exact number, but this is reasonable for range) caused by xrays includes screenings of all women, including those who never get it.

However if you are a doctor trying to figure out how often to screen women, the danger if xrays is a strong reason to not do it too often. Daily screenings would catch breast cancer a lot sooner on average, but just isn't worth the risk even if the screening was otherwise free.
Anandtech's story on what the likely annual royalties are, as a percentage of what the market price for the chip would be:

ARM7/9/11 1.0% - 1.5%
ARM Cortex A-series 1.5% - 2.0%
ARMv8 Based Cortex A-series 2.0% and above
Mali GPU 0.75% - 1.25% added on
Physical IP Package (POP) 0.5% added on

https://www.anandtech.com/show/7112/the-arm-diaries-part-1-h...

It also mentions the simpler way of saying it. Half of ARM's revenue comes from royalties. So it stands to reason that you could halve your costs if you moved to a royalty free part with the same up-front cost.
> You can release a remaster of an old game, but any reverse-engineered version would be competing with it.

The Console HD (Well 720p) remasters of the 3D GTAs don't even compete with the original versions with mods imo :-P.

They are the ported from the mobile ports of the games, have tons of bugs (Edit: some of the bugs on the 360 stem from RROD issues on consoles that have just not yet RROD'ed), break many of the game mechanics and redender models like trash.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhVdb4K1M-M <- Sa comparisons as an example

(Note: I know you are on about how mods / RE projects compete with offical releases from a product standpoint, not a quality standpoint. Just wanted to say that RS had their chance to improve the longevity of the older 3D titles and they fucked it up)
I’m guessing they can do this because they’re big enough to push back on insurance requirements.

The drug testing requirement for delivery drivers isn’t necessarily a moral imperative from management. It’s a condition of their insurance requirements. The article touches on this:

> Other delivery companies are continuing to screen applicants, concerned about the insurance and liability implications in the many states where weed use remains illegal.
>Vilification of the rich for being rich is much less old

The idea of struggle between the lowly commoners and the powerful elites goes back to at least the Roman Republic if not even further.

I'm not a Fedora user, but I strongly encourage anyone to look into OnlyOffice. The cloud features aren't forced on you at all, and it's better than LibreOffice in many respects (faster, better Word compatibility, better UI, etc.)

Sure, if they study it then they learn it.

The problem is, learning is taxing and many times you encounter these errors when you have more important things to do.

When you want to develop your game and the IDE is complaining about something about locating some files, do you think that it is good idea to learn how that IDE organises dependencies?

Sometimes you suck it up and learn it and you know next time. However, your first instinct would be to look for ways to make the error go away so that you can immediately start working on the task that you are supposed to work on. That's why we have abstractions and when things work fine we don't know how things work.

It shouldn't be expected of you having complete knowledge of all computer systems, tools and frameworks before you can make a ball image bounce on the screen.
Just out of curiosity and this isn’t meant to be mean, but, what kind of harsh consequence do you think would be appropriate for imposing that smell?

When I studied computing at school we would hand write our Fortran code on paper. After handing it in it was sent away somewhere and an operator would type it in and run it. Two weeks later we would get the result (assuming no typos).
I suppose it's either that or have streets and jails littered with homeless people
The pattern you are describing here (Service classes with static'ish methods together with data classes) is a very functional approach (modules and records). I would consider this much better than "real" OOP.

The OOP "abuse" I was referring to is mostly caused by inheritance. Five or more levels of inheritance is not so uncommon in some enterprise business logic. And once you have to work with that, you arrived in hell. Especially if it is split into different projects, that you can't navigate or debug as one easily.

What's the correct scale though?

To a large number of people.... a survivability of 99.99% is an acceptable risk for people to go out in society freely, like you have with most age groups in Covid.

To some people ONE death is too many because the value of a human life is priceless.

What's the correct, scientifically determined, objective scale of people dying, to allow the government to turn things into a medical fascist state?

My argument is that there is no objectively correct 'scale' because it's not a scientific measure therefore doesn't matter.

It's just the news and government yelling scary death numbers until enough kind-hearted but ignorant people are scared enough to sacrifice their freedoms.
You don't get a DUI just for being drunk on the couch on the weekend, you have to also be operating a vehicle while drunk. Which is what the parent comment was talking about -- it's not regulated in the same way that pot usage is.

look, some even are being grabbed by amazon because nobody wants to work like a slave anymore, only pot smokers! who would have guessed!
> extremely easy to change peoples minds though.

If a serious enough pandemic arises, you won't have to change minds. Real fear of the pandemic will be enough.

I don't know anybody, who knows anybody who died or was even hospitalized due to covid. All the fear and alarm has to be manufactured.
exodus from cities seems to be largely a myth in my experience, do you have a source?
Well of course you're "still not sure why"; you've "never used vim". How does one understand something they've never experienced?
Language isn't barely even a part of culture. Sure cultures have a language, but that is just to communicate, culture is how the people live their life.
That is an implementation detail of the processor hardware, and not of the instruction set, unless you have some details on why RISC-V cannot be implemented this way.
Or perhaps they are underwriting their own insurance. Once companies get big enough, it makes more sense for them to hold onto the premiums themselves and just pay an insurance company to administer the paperwork.
Do you think only experts should be programming? I'm an amateur programmer, and I think copilot could help me a lot with unimportant things, as you said - I even tried to install it but I'm not on some list. I can read code, and have built a few programs - I've hired around 30 different programmers in my life, and the vast majority clearly are copy-pasters-adapters. The way I see it, that happens because programming is still way more complex than it should be - and copilot will help with that. Maybe you are thinking about elite developers or perhaps developers on big companies, but I think it will be greatly benefitial for us low-level coders amateurs, freelancers and fresh people. Am I wrong?
When did HN start having such low quality comments?
show me your portfolio ;)
I’ve heard this line of reasoning a lot but I’ve never seen anyone back it up with much of evidence beyond the usual platitudes of liberal parenting.
(Note that I also find modern American child rearing techniques to be a set of failures where children act as little dictators and their gentle, caring parents desperately try to convince their kids to behave). I can’t help but see the same patterns at work here. Personally I’ll stick with a firm insistence that Covid presents serious risks, vaccines are safe and effective, and the inability to comprehend a scientific paper or even copy off the homework of the smart kids is a shameful embarrassment.
If that doesn’t vibe with someone’s AYSO participation trophy mindset, though luck, we have a global pandemic to deal with so man up and take one for the team. If you think babying people with gentle appeals is working, take a cold look at the results of polite messaging campaigns.

I'm sorry if my expressions sounded unpleasant. I had no intention of doing that. It may have sounded that way because I am not sensitive to expressions in English. But I wanted to emphasize that if Mochi made Anki better, our app is a complete upward compatibility with it. Sorry to be rude once again. I also have a strong love for this app, so I think I was being harsh.

I agree that something needs to change at the organisation level in your case, but i think it's hiring and promotion. This "developer IT" stuff is part of a developer's job. Juniors won't join you knowing it all, but they can learn it from seniors on their team who do. If you are recruiting seniors who don't know this stuff, stop, and if you are promoting juniors to senior before they've learned this stuff, stop.
:) I suppose you could always just add so much insecure code to your Github account that your expected value to Copilot is negative.

Although judging from the results of this test it kind of seems like for a lot of accounts that's already happened.
Some of the smartest people I have worked with smoked pot daily and before work. one is a head of engineering at netflix, another a head of IT at a big firm...

some of the highest performers I have ever worked with, and pot was a daily for them.
I'm not sure how one might reliably assess/assert impairment for a cannabis user. Traces can last for weeks and result in positive tests (blood analysis), even if the user isn't remotely stoned at the time. Don't know whether there's a breath test nowadays that indicates use in the past n hours, which might give a better idea of likely impairment.
My company fixes recruiting process and software problems. Hats off to Amazon for this. I probably have the pot smoker conversation about once a month, usually with a 50-something or older executive that is running a factory short-staffed.

Pot is radioactive for many employers because insurance discounts and employment regulations are stuck in the "Refer Madness" era (Refer Madness was a propaganda film about the dangers of pot). So, employers face two surprises: increasing liability, workers comp and other insurance AND potentially, "hi we're from a government agency and under regulation XYZ 202 sub paragraph 293888 you need to drug test and immediately fire those that flunk or we will fine you. Have a happy day!"
> Besides, there don't seem to be good multicore architectures for RISC-V, that's probably the biggest show stopper in this age of multicore computing.

That's just a matter of investment into the architecture rather than an intrinsic characteristic of the instruction set. There were no good x86 or ARM architectures until various companies decided to make them happen.
Things are better now than 40 years ago and yet are worse than 7 years ago.
It seems like this could have been an opportunity for you to learn how to take people seriously and to accept them as having authority regardless of how they speak--a useful thing to learn if, for instance, you ever manage someone with a speech impediment, who might never be able to talk in a way that you prefer.
Not gp, but I think a fine is pretty reasonable.

Jogging in the park and inhaling pot constantly is getting really annoying. I know a number of families that moved to the burbs, and one of the reasons they voiced is the sharp increase is pot smell/smoke in the kids' playgrounds.
Flu was spread a lot in many workplace where I've been, among adults. No flu shot requirement. Anybody who want a requirement for coronavirus vaccine should had flu shot requirement these past years or at least should make one now.
>Imagine all of the people who have been arbitrarily labelled as "alt-right" in social and traditional media. Do you actually think this is what they generally want?

Many of them self identify as alt-right. It's largely a self-selected identity. They're often proud of the term too. I have yet to see someone mislabeled alt-right when they're a vanilla conservative. Alt-right really is the far right of old but with Gen Z aesthetics.
Doing it client-side could actually work.
My designer eye makes me really feel bad by looking at these all close together
> I hope this gets settled by the labor board or the Supreme Court rather than companies takin that mantle to impose a mandate themselves.

Generally, the default is that private companies can discriminate however they please. In certain cases we've decided that that's not good for a society (race, religion, ethnicity), so we restrict their ability to do that. But why shouldn't private companies be allowed to make their own decisions about things that they perceive (whether they are right or wrong) will improve worker safety? In this case, vaccination status affects other people (in terms of increased risk of transmission + psychological perception), so how is different than my company's current rule that I'm not allowed to smoke at my desk?

They already have a ton of those. There are 12 or so coprocessors in the M1, some of them multicore. Most are Apple's own small 64-bit core design (Chinook), but there are 3 or 4 Cortex-M3s too.
“Maybe” alcohol has health consequences? Like 95,000 deaths per year?
The feature you are talking about is called n-key rollover. Cheap keyboards generally don't have it. Similar to you, I discovered the issue in the 90s with FPS games.

Keyboard manufacturers have been designed with n-key rollover as a feature since the late 70s, believe it or not. Keyboard technology has, in many ways, regressed since then. Fortunately, good keyboards are finally being made again—they just need to work on appearance and decent layouts again.
A 'drug' is whatever the law dictates is a 'drug'

There's no reason why alcohol shouldn't be considered more dangerous than pot, especially considering the amount of road deaths it causes
A larger portion of them are from experience of hiring and being around people who smoke it. I would not employ someone who does because of those people. I have horror stories a mile long.

I know this is unpopular on internet news sites but I assure you that your social reputation isn’t that great if you smoke the stuff generally and that’s not going to change because of the propensity of people to be unreliable or dicks. The only thing that’s faulty is your perception of it.
The startups trying to kill the password
Many countries have compulsory immunization for a set of diseases with disclosure mandated to enrol, for example, in a nursery or primary school.

This is a question of coherency and political courage: Either Covid immunization is of critical importance for public health, which is essentially what we're told, and governments must have the courage to act accordingly, or it is "nice to have" if a person so decides and governments should equally act accordingly.
I agree that it has to be done to have consistency. I'm just pointing out that when using IaC designed by another team where the internal workings are largely hidden, us primarily dev guys are going to need some help with issues that appear to be ops related. (And yeah, occasionally root cause will be that I'm just an idiot)
I think the argument is that an amateur with copilot is going to stay an amateur longer than someone without copilot while simultaneously only helping them create something no one--including them--should rely on: it teaches the wrong habits and helps with the wrong problem.
Yes, exactly correct at least for me. Two excellent example. These are mostly victimless, if somebody make a bad choice here he is harming himself. Seatbelt law for small children though is maybe okay.
> I must say, I wish for the old days back. Sure, it was slow and laborious, but it resulted in better outcomes and manageability. IMHO, it also resulted in better reliability of software due to the diligence done by several layers.

Those were also the days where it took many years to go from Java 6 to Java 8. Or perhaps to try out Kotlin.

They were the days where legacy code was the norm, and we kept supporting it because nobody dared to change anything for the better. In practice, that's just not something you can maintain in a competitive market, because your competitors _will_ use new technologies and faster/better development processes.

"it just works" might be good enough for maintaining your application, but will it be good enough to find people willing to work in that code base or that environment?

I work for a large business where both the old and new practices are in place (mostly the new ones, though). Focusing on "going fast" is definitely not a good idea, but I believe there's a sweet spot in between.
I think of neural networks as "smooth compression" - something that compresses a key-value database into a continuous non-linear function. Previously Daniel Holden wrote about something similar in his blog (https://theorangeduck.com/page/machine-learning-kolmogorov-c...)

I agree with the author's sentiment that "learning" might be a misleading term. Neural networks can just be seen as specialized programs that just compress certain kinds of data extremely well (at the cost of extremely high pre-computation). But it's still a very useful technique to tackling previously intractable problems.
Mochi has something similar to this in the notebook view, although I prefer a Zettelkasten style of note taking myself.
‘Buy now, pay later’ retail loan services test patience of investors
This is a large and ongoing part of becoming a developer. It also happens again every time you try to learn a sufficiently new or alien technology. You know you start to make progress when the error messages begin to make sense.

Often you need to know a lot of context before you're even able to determine what the error message is! One error message can lead to a cascade of other error messages, or it's something breaking down as a result of multiple layers of indirection, requiring the developer to careful track the trail of what went wrong and led to another thing failing, which broke down the next thing and ultimately, decided to stop the program and mention only the very last thing falling apart to the user. There might be a directly sensible connection with the original error, but often it's quite unrelated. An experienced developer often immediately recognizes: this is not the actual error message, that other thing is! But for a junior it's all equally incomprehensible.

It is detective work with many false leads, and being very new at something it can be so overwhelming you don't know where to begin and immediately assume you will not succeed finding out 'whodunnit', asking your senior co-worker for help.
I haven’t met someone who knows that yet.
I believe that it was supposed to mean no more division of labour, and i believe that based on conversations with people who were early adopters of it ten years ago.

This waffly "breaking down the silos" stuff is a later redefinition, i believe reacting to the fact that the original meaning was extremely unpalatable to existing organisations, with existing employees and hierarchies who would be severely disrupted by it.
Only if the virus makes its presence known quickly. Something can be fatal, yet take months or years to kill you.

Worst case would be a highly lethal, airborne virus with a long delay between infection and death.

Who are "those same people"? I'm going to assume you mean conservative white people in flyover states? Do you understand that black and hispanic vaccination rates lag other ethnicities? [1][2]

A couple of my group chats that are exclusively other black male expats, with origins ranging from Canada to the US to Kenya, are full of shared meme images and videos about the risks/dangers of COVID vaccination. Vehement opposition includes our one ER nurse-turned-millionaire-day-trader, and an aerospace engineer in the UK....We're definitely not a demographic screaming against abortion....hell, abortion saves a bunch of us from child support payments. (I'm only being slightly facetious).

Long story short, I would suggest broadening your information exposure if you think only "those people" are hesitant/opposed to rushed COVID-19 vaccines being rammed down our throats by the same governments who approved of prescription opioids and the Tuskegee Experiment.
