Could it just be that Linux Dell XPS buyers are less price sensitive? There's an underlying assumption in the question that increased Dell pricing is justified by increased Dell expenditure.
Zork ZIL was pretty Lispy (example at [1]). Whether it qualifies as "a Lisp" depends on your definition.

I just bought Terraria a couple days ago to see what it was all about. After 20 minutes of futzing about with it on my iPad, I deleted it because it was so terrible to control. Now to learn that the developers only recently released an update to a 9 year old game that broke once working controls. Wild!
For the last few United or Delta flights I took, I had seen their ads that said they do this and that “contact less” - pretty standard in the covid world.

Right under the ad was a gigantic message that said “contact-less trademark owned by and used with permission of EMVCo, LLC”

I can imagine the airline’s surprise if they have originally printed ads without this.
Considering an apartheid state synonymous with Judaism is incredibly anti Semitic and promotes antisemitism
hey hatware!

is that a question/comment for me?
One very simplified model is that on the river, all your hands fall into certain buckets, from strongest to weakest. (I'm ignoring a ton of nuance here and there are actually many more buckets in a real game)

- Worth betting, because you have the best hand

- Worth calling, because your hand is good enough to beat a bluff (and maybe some value bets as well).

- Intending to fold, because your hand is bad, but maybe it's good enough to win if the opponent's hand is worse and they don't bluff.

- Worth bluffing, because your hand is so bad it can't win otherwise.

The middling hands would literally be the middle two buckets in this example. Call with the better ones, fold with the worse ones. (To complicate this more, in a real world situation the worst part of the "intending to fold" bucket might become a "planning to bluff-raise" bucket, due to similar logic as to why you bluff with your worst hands.)
Thank you, this is a very informative post.

Unless you're ordering something that's essentially some form of manufacturer to consumer drop shipping.

Then it could look more like a retail delivery than a consumer one.
Hmmm... That's is strange. Indeed, Hantro, the VPU hardware, only got drivers mainlined recently and we still, AFAIK, got no ffmpeg/gstreamer release using these. I'd expect more from a rk3399. I have a rockpi4 but haven't used it in a long time.

I'll consider compiling armbian to test it again. My personal experience with it is better than what I had with a raspberry pi 3.
Or a cordless angle grinder.
But then what would happen if the GitHub token leaks? Would someone then be able to retrieve their own credentials as if they were your CI/CD pipeline? I feel like it be hard to audit that because a baddie would then be able to blend in with your CI/CD pipeline's traffic.

But you say you find "management of AWS Credentials a pain", so I guess this isn't for security purposes, right? More of just a convenience?

Don't get me wrong, I'm all about lessening the amount of environment variables in a pipeline!.. especially with ones that you want to rotate!
Social services in LA are quite awful and have been since I was a child, from public transportation, to public education, to assistance for the homeless, to access to health care, to water quality, to police services (and corruption), to fire services, to road maintenance, to traffic management.

Much of this is due to the design of the region: the greater Los Angeles area is a sea of concrete in a desert, that extends for 100 miles in every direction. It's impossible to run as a region efficiently and requires a massive amount of effort to provide services for.

The weather's nice though :)
Agree, the negative part is disproportionately impactful.

As an analogy, my g/f and I recently went grocery shopping. As we got out she was fuming at how old people completely ignore COVID rules, whilst society is largely making sacrifices for them.

I was part of the whole experience, and two people ignored the rules. One did not have a mask, another did have one but ignored social distancing.

There were probably some 200 people in the store. So actual reality is that almost everybody complied. But it takes just one or two that don't, to make a sweeping conclusion like that.
Alphastar also didn't play with the same limitations that a human has. Even after removing its ability to see the entire map and finally forcing it to scroll around, alphastar never misclicks (so its APM==EPM) and can still blast nearly unlimited APM for short bursts as long as its "average APM" over an x-second period matched human's APM.

I believe Alphastar would generate more interesting strategies if we limited alphastar to a bit below human APM and forced it to emulate USB K+M to click (instead of using an API, which it currently does) and adding a progressively increasing random fuzzing layer against its inputs so that as it clicks faster the precision/accuracy goes down.

By "interesting strategies" I mean strategies that humans could learn to adopt. Currently its main strategy is "perfectly juggle stalkers" which is a neat party trick, but that particular strategy is about as interesting to me as 2011-era SC AI[0]. Obviously how it arrived at that strategy is quite interesting, but the style of play is not relevant to humans, and may in fact even get beaten by hardcoded AI's.

I'm also very curious what Alphastar could come up with if it were truly unsupervised learning. AIUI, the first many rounds of training were supervised based on high level human replays -- so it would have gotten stuck in a local minima near what has already been invented by humans.

This may be relevant if Microsoft reboots Blizzard's IP. I would love to have an alphastar in SC3 to play against off-line, or have as a teammate, archon mode, etc. I think all RTS' are kind of "archon mode with AI teammate" already. The AI currently handles unit pathing, selection of units to attack, etc. With an alphastar powering the internal AI instead, more tactics/micro can be offloaded to AI and allow humans to focus more on strategy. That seems like it would be super cool.

Examples: "Here AI, I made two drop ships of marines. Take these to the main base and find an optimal place to drop them. If you encounter strong resistance or lots of static defense, just leave and come back home"

"Here AI, use these two drop ships of marines to distract while I use the main army to push the left flank. Take them into the main, natural, or 4th base -- goal is to keep them alive for as long as possible. Focus on critical infrastructure/workers where possible but mostly just keep them alive and moving around to distract the opponent."

Ask HN: Not liking my first dev job. Any tips?
Hey all! So I'm a self-taught developer and got my first jr position a few months back. I really enjoy programming, I didn't sign up for a bootcamp or follow any "0 to Employed" type course, I just did what I love and eventually got a job doing it - which I'm very grateful for. Yet... the job isn't what I thought it'd be.

I did some freelance work prior to this and those gigs involved me developing a full application for the client. They'd give their idea/requirements and I'd make it from the ground. up. I loved that. I love being able to see a program come to life in front of me. I love to start with that blank canvas and through sheer will and dexterity forming it into something beautiful. That's what I like about software development.

At my new job, however, I've been thrown into a massive legacy codebase and am given specific features to add to implement on top of this already incredibly complex monolith that I can hardly understand. The technology being used is actually pretty interesting and novel, it's not just another Java enterprise app or massive Angular webapp. But I'm not able to really create anything. Any productivity I could have is drained by just navigating the existing maze of code. I might get to add a new feature, but there's not true creation happening. None of those features are challenging or novel. I feel like I'm filling in a coloring book rather than painting on a canvas.

Not sure what the point of this rant is, I'm just a little frustrated. I was so happy to have the chance to get paid to do what I love, but I'm not loving what I'm getting paid to do. I'd try to find another job but I don't want to have short periods of employment on my resume and my lack of a degree or any other credentials would make it difficult to ever get to the interview stage. Any suggestions for how I can find passion in my existing job or how I could pivot early in my career so that I can get in at projects inception and be a founding developer?

Now I don't know what "rotation" means. After reading that thread, the phrase
"rotating through spacetime" is still just gibberish. It sounds like he's trying to solve a physics problem backwards by making the units match: because the Lorentz transformation is a hyperbolic rotation matrix with a trig property applied, somehow it is a rotation? That just perverts the word "rotation".
In that case, the asker can still prepare their question text and be ready to copy/paste after exchanging hellos. The author reiterates several times that waiting for the other person to type is the pain point here.
Funny, because there's an old run and gun PC game "Abuse" that was famous for being one of the first commercial Lisp-scripted games, but very little has been done with its open-sourced codebase since its Lisp code is notoriously hard to work with.

When my brother Richard died I was overwhelmed by grief, so I developed a systematic way to get through it. I assembled a list of all his adjectives (dear, lovely, wonderful, artistic etc) and all his nouns (brother, little brother, youngest brother, Richard, etc). Then, in the most bloody minded way, I went through and considered every combination of the 2 lists, and found that every descriptive phrase seemed to contain a droplet of grief... but only 1 such droplet. When I had worked through the whole list I had just about cried myself out, and I wasn't bothered by those phrases ever again. So I dealt with grief.

gRPC is very opinionated. Protobuf allows some things that tend to be design mistakes (e.g. required fields). A lot of this has been corrected with proto3, with subsequent field behavior annotations described here: https://google.aip.dev/203

The whole of aip.dev is a collection of API design principles published by Google that are externally relevant. Many of the proposals pertain specifically to gRPC-style APIs.

I've personally found gRPC APIs to be pleasant relative to many HTTP APIs since the use of an IDL can be helpful when interacting with such APIs. I don't have enough GraphQL experience to make any conclusions on that comparison. But the sense that I get is that GraphQL may be more appropriate once you reach a certain scale but is probably overused when a simpler technology would suffice.

Disclaimer: I work for Google but the views I express are my own and not necessarily those of my employer.
There's no way he's right in this. Sure, hate or may germinate offline to some degree, but it is stoked almost entirely online.
It absolutely is.

Look at airlines. Customers bitch about service but then always buy the cheapest ticket.

Same with consumer goods. Sure some consumers will pay more, but if two brands with exist, one lasts 10 years, one 7 years but the 2nd is 20% cheaper, most people will opt for it.
But only about 16% of that mass of CO2 was ever "transported" in the first place: the carbon atom. The O2 part appears for free because it comes out of the air the fuel is burned in. And that oxygen wouldn't be transported with carbon capture either, it would just be vented into the atmosphere again.

I mean think about it, we can't be emitting more waste than we are transporting, because that waste comes from fuel, and the fuel itself is part of what we're transporting.
IIRC, a planet has to clear its orbit (absorb or chase away all rivals) and Pluto can't do that.

Good to know - from the context I thought compatibilism simply meant that 'will' could influence the physical world and the physical world got to have a say as well.

But I'm not sure what to make of your second paragraph - doesn't saying there are hard and easy decisions require there be a difference of quality between the categories?

"Safety" is the capability to exert your individual freedoms freely. If, to ensure that safety, you suppressed the freedoms, then you've failed.

But we're not talking about fighting crime here, but companies tracking what people do and as far as I know there is no societal right for Discord and LinkedIn to track people.

If that pendulum ever swings back too far, and you're right, it likely will, I'll be sure to let "my politicians" know using regular old no-government-id-required email as I already did on occasion with no issue.
Cool to see this research continued. I've spoken to the authors of a very similar paper, also based in Australia:
https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/adma.202105...

One thing I learned is that these experiments are generally done with a pure CO2 stream. The reactions taking place often compete with other molecules (especially O2), making this approach best for capturing carbon from tailpipes and smokestacks. There's still a lot of work to be done to get this sort of thing to work reliably for direct air capture (which IMO will be needed to actually draw down carbon from the atmosphere).

Anyway, this research is being commercialized via a company called LMPlus (https://lmplus.com.au). While I appreciate that the technology is being brought to market, it probably means that future breakthroughs will occur in private labs, protected by patents and trade secret laws.

We have a an urgent need to conduct more of this kind of research out in the open and to make breakthrough carbon capture technology available to everyone, for free. If you're interested in helping out on this front, please consider joining me in the OpenAir Collective discord (https://openaircollective.cc/).

That sounds like a pretty reasonable educated guess to me (that's meant positively, I'm just ops enough that I consider lots of things I hope I know to be in that category).

But it -does- still leave the question of how well the storage layer reports table statistics and how that interacts with the planner.

If I sound suspicious, it's because I ran into a situation recently where a SELECT inside a transaction on mysql Aurora somehow (as far as I can tell, I was helping out at a couple removes so if you're reading this and it's relevant to you please don't believe me without testing yourself) took a whole table lock in a situation where I am pretty damn sure that for all its 'fun' actual InnoDB would've locked a page at most.

So ops goes.
“Europeans” is doing a lot of work in that sentence… Subjectively, criticism of Israel seems to be more widespread in the US and Britain than Germany? I don’t doubt the continuing existence here in Germany (and called it the “seedy underbelly” of local politics just a few hours ago right here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29977132). But my impression is that these are very distinct groups.
In my opinion, "AI" is still far closer to being able to recognize a picture of a cat than it is able to cope with all the complexities of driving that a person might encounter and deal with quite easily.

What might be a lot closer is a restricted kind of driving that might cover 90% of people's usual cases. Restricted set of roads (well mapped and maintained), maybe specific instructions for problem sections, markings and/or signals that the car understands, maybe local updates for changed road conditions, that kind of thing.
Particularly in the context of washing machines, I find this a little hard to swallow. What constant innovation is needed here? The product is infrequently replaced, and mainly just needs to do the one thing it already does.

Sure you have changes - you end up with a few major variations like top- and side-loaders and all that. But the old style doesn't fall off the face of the earth. And companies have plenty of time to simply watch and imitate.
No, thank you. "We" don't need it. But, ideologues who want to lose all connection to the past and tradition need one more lever to pull it seems.

Anyone have insight on whether this level of performance incentive compensation was more or less common 20 years ago than now and how to credibly negotiate for them as an employee instead of leaving and contracting on value pricing? I'm afraid the answer is "if you have to ask..." Is it mostly just executives or are high level ICs ever successful here? In the public arena I only really hear about it happening for strategic acquihires and execs.
I would, too, because I've seen research that says otherwise. I've talked with this researcher[1] about it in the past, not sure if their page has the study they were conducting online yet, but the page has papers that are relevant/adjacent to this topic.

> Shoshana Zuboff, author of The Age of Surveillance Capitalism,

I've read this book. Highly recommended.

That said, given her broad & deep analysis, my takeaway in an implied sort of way (i.e., she never directly said this) is that ads aren't the issue. The surveillance companies are slowly but surely wrestling influence (and control) away from traditional powers (e.g., gov, media, etc.) The status quo isn't going to watch and let that happen.

Ultimately, it's about control. Who had it. Who's acquiring it.
The GitHub token that is used is a short-lived token that is generated new every time a GitHub action is run.

Ref: https://docs.github.com/en/actions/security-guides/automatic...

And the SAML.to backend first checks to make sure the token is valid by invoking:

Ref: https://docs.github.com/en/rest/reference/apps#list-reposito...

I haven't checked, but I assume GitHub invalidates the token when the GitHub Action finishes

When I feel attacked online I stop going to the places where I don’t feel welcome. As you say, some people react by engaging and escalating, but I don’t think most people stick around long in those situations. What this guy is saying seems to be that the people who escalate are likely people who already behave that way offline.
Ok, will improve this.
Sympathies for your loss. Grief comes in many forms and there is no right or wrong way to grieve it’s even harder when you don’t feel like you have anyone to grieve with. I’m an open ear if you need one.

Recently there was a podcast episode made by some guys I follow that is one of the most real an raw conversations I’ve heard (other than my own) about death and grieving. It may or may not be helpful. I’ll quote the description and give a link.

“On November 19th Erin and Michael lost their 13-year old daughter, London, to a rare disease (HLH). It was an intense fight and escalated faster than anyone could cognitively understand. One of our practices is to be open and honest about our process, to discuss how we work influences how we live. This is the start of that conversation, of realizing your worst fear and stepping up to confront all that comes with grief, pain, loss, and love.”

On October 28, I bought the NordicTrac T-Series for $650.

After installation, it had a lock screen asking me to subscribe to start using the treadmill!

Can you imagine?

I paid for the treadmill, and you're telling me I can't even walk on it without paying you again?

So what did my $650 pay for?!?

If I can't use a device's most basic function without paying an additional subscription, then can Amazon label the button "Buy Now"?

What exactly did I "Buy" if it's a paperweight without an additional subscription?

Nowhere did the product page say that having a subscription is a pre-req to use this device: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0193V3DJ6

Thankfully, the company Amazon hired to setup the treadmill found the trick to bypass that screen.

But now, after hearing about this update, I'm afraid they will lock my treadmill again.

I just use my treadmill to walk on it.

I don't need any apps.

Left to their own devices, these companies will find a way to charge us to breathe.

So happy I'm not looking to any human governments to fix this nonsense.
