Wow the Onsets and Frames algorithm is insanely interesting. It's like a mixture of run-length encoding of (vertical and horizontal) strings of (0dim/time) and (1d/time) structures (onsets as points in time, activations as lines in time). But..hm.. why stop at such low dimensionality structures..! :^)

The overwhelming majority of what you need to learn to understand old code is what was built out of the old code. Language complexity there is a rounding error. So, the relevant complexity is what you need to understand to write new code.

Detailed comparisons will be meaningless. It suffices that they are comparable, of similar order. Somebody coming from Haskell or an ML will have a completely different experience than somebody coming from JS or Python.

Move semantics and smart pointers are about the same in C++ and Rust, so do not count in a comparison.

I learned Rust a few years ago, but cannot follow Rust code examples published today. It has become markedly more complex in a short time.

For Rust not to fizzle, literally thousands of programmers wholly unacquainted with it will need to adopt it for each current user. None of the former come bought into any of what current users have chosen to endure. To get those programmers on board, things will need to happen that most current users do not perceive as necessary, many of which they would absolutely revile, and many others they do not consider worth enough effort.

Overcoming resistance to necessary change from current users will be much, much harder than getting the new users on board after changes. Getting enough new users on board without those changes is probably impossible.

I wondered if Delphi supported LTO (as that's one of the main compile-time-eaters) and the only examples I could find of sentences containing both "Delphi" and "LTO" referred to Delphi support for TAPE DRIVES (https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_Tape-Open). Of course prehistoric tech is faster, running a 1995 game on a i7 would also be fast. What matters is, is Delphi able to match C++ in run-time benchmarks ?

Also, here's a video of my edit-compile-run cycle ; cloc on that project gives me 506963 loc without counting dependencies. The software uses boost and fairly modern C++ with no particular feature restriction and templates going wild. It's not instant, but still, 2 seconds is somewhat tolerable (and definitely faster than various web stuff I've been involved with)

>> I don't like NFTs, but the anti-NFT crowd doesn't seem to get it and that is just as frustrating.

Oh! The anti-NFT crowd does get it. Unfortunately, only too well. And the thing is that there is nothing there to actually get it.

>> the verifiable receipt is what matters

No, this is just a marketing strategy to fool gullible and naïve people into aping into NFT. Nobody ever had a problem with verifiable receipts when attending concerts or buying a car or eating at a restaurant. NFT is a solution simply looking for non-problems to solve to justify its existence.

NFT is simply put 100% speculative asset. The only reason it got a big hype is because people want to spend 0.00001 Eth and sell it for 100 Ethers and then they don't have to work for the rest of their lives.

There is a suicide hotline that gets posts after every crypto crash. Inevitably the same thing is going to happen once the NFT market crashes (100% guaranteed) and regular people lose most of their savings for worthless jpeg that nobody else wants to buy.
You're right that it's not necessary to have blockchain directly. However, NFTs show you're close to a group of people who are connected in the cryptocurrency world, just like CSGO/Roblox flair shows you've invested in those worlds. And a lot of crypto people made a lot of money so it's a good status signal to be close to those crypto people.
I personally would argue that the HN community does a good job at applying the scientific method and question unsupported conclusions.

I don't think it's about believing which side is right. Many subjective topics aren't popular on HN because there's no way to reach a census. I have also noticed that most comments don't engage with exaggerated and flame bait language. People are generally listened to and responded to respectfully. There's going to be exceptions, but I see less troll type comments on HN and that's why I respect it as a source.

The "nutjob wacko" opinions are respectfully heard and then respectfully torn apart.
I still don’t get how people manage to fuck up their phones so badly. Last five iPhones I’ve had were sold on in mint condition.

I go cycling, hiking, climbing, camping with the things in a cheap TPU case and no screen protector. They are my primary outdoor navigation device, my camera and are used for 4-6 hours a day solid. I also drop the things occasionally.

Do people put their 1000 buck investment in a pocket full of old bolts, keys and sand paper?!? I just don’t understand how you even scratch one.
So you make another layer of PGP file where you first make a token/id that indicates you created the file (which ID doesn’t change between transactions).

The problem is it still wouldn’t be obvious because nobody can verify anything.

Which was never my assertion.
This works if you just want to prove that you and the artist agree that you paid the artist “for” the work.

But, if you can’t transfer it to someone else, is it really a “token” in the relevant sense?

Not that I think there’s much value in the NFTs corresponding to digital images, outside of from people being somewhat silly in what they value,

but this nevertheless doesn’t satisfy all of use-cases of those blockchain tokens.

With those blockchain tokens, as this article mentions, you do have to trust that the author is the actual author, and that they aren’t like, issuing more than they say they are (perhaps using different addresses),

but these are adequately handled by reputation and the author simply having a single well-known-to-be-their-only-official address/public-key .

But, this trust is only needed for the origin of the token, not for resale of the token.

Whereas, with this system, attempting to use these “tokens” as something that can be resold, would be vulnerable to the double spend problem.

Now, if all you want is to be able to prove to others that you and the author agreed that [you paid the author money in relation to the image or other document, and that they received the payment], then 100% yes this is a better solution. Why get an expensive public ledger involved if all you want it is to be able to prove to others is that you and someone else both attested to a particular claim? That sort of thing is exactly solved by public key cryptography.

(If people don’t know your public key is yours, but they do recognize the artist’s public key, there are standard ways to prove you control a key (though not that no one else does))

Whether this serves the purpose that people want NFTs “of”/about digital images to serve, well, that depends on what that purpose is.

And, I’m not sure what that purpose is exactly, seeing as, again, while I recognize the subjectivity of economic value, I still think buying such tokens is kind of silly.

> We have Sun's forward-thinking and the enterprise-friendliness of the Java ecosystem to thank for that.

I find it quite ironic to praise the forward-thinking of the company that has been instrumental to bring us into this mess via their vision of loading dependencies at runtime from an online repository. Sun imagined that the code and its configuration does not have to worry about how to fulfill its dependencies, but instead JNDI [1] could magically fetch the appropriate objects from wherever, don't worry.

I'd say I would even find it ironic to praise the Java ecosystem, which, due to its excessive over-engineering, has produced best practice frameworks where fully documented behavior has the latent potential to just be catastrophically exploitable by accident, as nobody is able to reasonably understand how all of it plays together. I have a hard time to imagine how you could enable loading of external code in Rust or Go by accident using run-of-the-mill logging frameworks.

All 3 of OP's direct requests have to do with a negative mental state.

Exercise improves that. Here's a bunch of literature.

Regardless, exercise isn't the core method to weight loss, that's change of diet.

> As you can see from his requests he's looking for some serious luck

No, I disagree.

OP said:

>I am constantly worried that ...

Op's request cannot be solved through fulfillment of their apparent presentation. Look at what is behind them.

Worry is a state of mind. Even if they were fulfilled to YOUR satisfaction, worry could still exist in someone else's mind in the exact same position. Worry, OP stated, is their core problem.

One promise of Haskell is that, once you've become an advanced or expert user, it is a gigantic force multiplier for individual devs or small, tight teams.

What things? you are wasting a lot of words and saying nothing. I'm watching the video and see nothing impressive. I mean it sounded impressive back in the day, but today?

I’m sure you can generate a unique token for a non-unique artwork.

I mean, I can just make an NFT now with a screenshot of someone else’s NFT.
> What about sensor jamming or confusing?

This will no doubt happen.

> How to make sure, it is in the right "kill" area?

If a robot knows where it started from it can use dead reckoning to know roughly where it is. It can also use landmarks it identifies, or celestial navigation.

All of these should give it a reasonably accurate idea of its whereabouts.

> And if you designate a zone as free to kill everything, you might as well nuke the area.

No, because a lot of UGVs will be used as area denial weapons, i.e. as a smart minefield. They might typically stay where they are and monitor than no-one uses the area. Nukes can't do that.
It's not really about status signaling, the whole idea is trying to flip them for more dollars.
The interesting thing to me is that many discussions around NFTs (my previous comments included) focus on whether people will treat these digital markers of provenance the same as physical markers of provenance (like a signed portrait). The thinking goes that since the physical markers of provenance obviously and provably have value (sometimes multi-hundred millions in value), the digital ones should as well.

I wish instead that there would be more discussion around how fucked up it is that provenance is a thing that has value to begin with, digital or physical. There are literally huge swaths of humanity that are nearly starving on a daily basis, yet others spend obscene amounts of money on things with 0 tangible value. Say what you want around billionaires blowing their wad on flights-of-fancy space projects, at least they are building something real that could have value to humanity. Paying for provenance is just a place to stash wealth, when extreme wealth inequality has made it difficult to find places for the wealthy to store their dough.

I don't really have any purpose with this post - human nature is what it is, and having value in displays of status is as old as the species. I still think it's horribly fucked up.
This is great but it's also enormously depressing that there is such a massive amount of crap you have to do to have a reasonably private/secure/frictionless web browser these days.
So you have two unique NFT's claiming ownership of the same piece of art or tweet or whatever. Maybe on different blockchains, maybe not. Now what? Which one is the "real" one that conveys said ownership? How do you prove which one is the "real" one?
Kevin, the point here is whether that is a useful distinction or not. The article is putting forward a decentralised, cryptographic, non-blockchain equivalent that has the same guarantees as an NFT. My reply was specifically in answer to the parent comments point that it’s about status signalling on an easily accessible website. It’s immaterial in that regard whether the data source of said website is centralised or not because it’s about the social phenomenon not technical implementation.

My list of languages to practice were Scala and Rust. Maybe I'll do Scala and Go considering this single point.
The original proposal for Perl 7 was good at grabbing attention, but not good at being something that could reasonably be accomplished by the current set of core developers - it would require either maintenance of two forks of the language (not feasible), or sunsetting of Perl 5 (risking it all on unlikely adoption and migration to the new fork, and likely losing several volunteer developers).

The current status is, roughly, planning for Perl 7 to be a compatible release with good features, and waiting until such a featureset is ready. See https://perl7faq.grinnz.com

I think the article mentions this exactly, since buyer/seller kiting is trivial even on a blockchain:

> HN lacks meaningful discussion on basically any works of art, like films and tv. Sports aren't brought up either. It's not just politics that gets left out. Book recommendations on HN are also mostly focused on productivity and tech.

And i think that's exactly the reason why so many tech enthusiasts are here.

I don't really care about celebrity news, tv, sports.

Even then, that news can be very local. Not everyone is interested in the saga of Verstappen ( from my country) vs. Hamilton in F1 sports.

I think most people don't care about art here either. But are curious about art generated by ML.
> You can make a chain by making a further transaction with the ID of the last one (which arguably indicates you own the file hash indicated).

You can, but then you either have to host a central transaction history somewhere or you run into the double-spending problem.

During it's development Julia was heavily promoted as a language for scientific computing.

Nowadays, the language is promoted as a general purpose language suitable for any task or domain.

However, the perception that Julia is primarily for scientific computing remains strong among many developers. Only time will tell if that perception changes.

And yet, the calls to add labels that would allow consumers to tell which products contain lithium batteries at a glance have been derided here.

To add to this, my pair of wireless headphones can be also used with a 3.5mm cable, and I often do that, as it allows instant switching between devices. You can't tell they have wireless capability (or lithium batteries in them) just by looking.

According to comments, I'm the sole person on this planet who does read the instruction manual. And yet I am learning about thermal runaway in possibility in otherwise non-defective equipment from the HackerNews (thank you for explaining!).
