I thought photo quality was rather meh until the 50s or at least the 40s? Even with large films the results are often muddy in olden shots—while 70 mm movie film from the 60s will probably still be redigitized into super-duper-hd formats in the late 21st century (e.g. https://youtu.be/sCv-dIFGcd0).
I'm surprised no one has made an indie AC clone for Android. AC Pocket sucks.
Perhaps there is some sort of issue within the game that's making it render and behave differently for different players.

I don't know what to say other than my console works perfectly for every other game and I've never had a console crash before I played ER, or since while playing any other game.

The whole console suddenly turns off, I have to yank the power, and when it comes back on it sends an error report to Sony. Suffice to say, I lose my progress.

Do you have (loose) spectacles? If yes, you can try to make the spectacles move back and forth (moving back requires flexing the muscle, spectacles moved front is the "natural" position). If not, maybe take a friend's pair? Lol just kidding, just use sunglasses.

Honestly it's not some major movement and I only have 1 degree of motion properly under control - I'm sure there's more that I can't. It's not a very significant thing irl.
I think Smalltalk seems "quirky" compared to your Kotlin example only becuase we've all gotten used to a standardized C-inspired syntax. Which is fine, we have, so things that roughly adhere to it seem less quirky. Smalltalk was just written before we had all standardized on that.

There's nothing inherently more quirky about separating list elements with `.` then with `,`, until you've gotten used to a cross-language convention of using `,`. Which Smalltalk predates.

There's nothing inherently more "naked" or less mysterious about using square brackets to delineate a block/lambda instead of curly brackets... and I'm not even sure on what basis curly braces seem more natural to you! What makes curly braces more obvious than square brackets?

Why do you have to find names for closure arguments? I don't know why do you have to find names for arguments in functions/methods either? One could imagine a language (perhaps untyped, to keep things consistent) where you didn't, perhaps any one-argument function would just have an argument named `it`. Heck, maybe a two argument function would just have arguments named `it` and `other`. We could argue about whether that was a good idea or not... but I'm unpersuaded that it's more "naked", as if there is some kind of natural correct one true syntax out there waiting to be discovered. I get that you like Kotlin; I think you are mistaken to think it is objectively more "advanced", and am confident we could find people who don't like some of it's choices.
Excellent summary, if nuclear war starts all you need is a gun and enough bullets for your family.

It's brutal logic but there is nothing that an average person can do to survive nuclear war. Only remote isolated farmer/survival communities will be able to make it, if they will survive nuclear winter.

Anyone else in long term will not be able to get food with no petrol, electricity and slowly starve to death. And even if you are in surviving community the life will be back to limited tech, village-state civilization.
There is a reason we have many forms of distributing written ideas:

Sorry if my comment looks like I've seen too much movies, but even if Putin, as a human, have nothing to lose, everyone else in Russia have a lot to lose. I know there isn't lot of counter-powers but couldn't he be stopped by some Russia's agency where a lot of people have a lot to lose ? I know he have a great control over most state employed people including KGB, but doesn't this control starts to fail apart when everyone is afraid about the country being nuked ?

It did not as far as evidence goes it was initiated by Ukrainians themselves. The west did happily supply the weapons to questionable groups, but the will to change was certainly there. If that reduced corruption is another question.

A bit ironic that separatists are called separatists in light of the revolution though. Although the party that came to power after the revolution has since been replaced by the current one. I think they formed just 2-3 years ago.
Seems to be almost identical to the previous paper for ICLR 2022: Learning by Directional Gradient Descent (by Silver et al.) (https://openreview.net/pdf?id=5i7lJLuhTm)

The paper has some additional experimental analysis of the properties of the algorithms (including how many samples you should estimate per epoch), and also extends the method for training RNNs or reinforcement learning.
I think the thought experiment still "works" (as much as philosophers can say something useful about the question it poses) even if the photo was upscaled.

Hi HN,

My friend Ricardo and I feel very strongly about climate change, so we've built a service that makes websites carbon neutral. To get an idea of the impact of the internet on climate change, if the internet were a country, it would be the 7th most polluting country [1]. If unchecked, one prediction puts the internet at 14% of global greenhouse gas emissions by 2040 [2]. Our service looks like this:

- You add a script tag to your site

- The script calculates the electricity used

- The greenhouse gas emissions are removed through carbon removal technology

Also work in progress is a way to provide insights to help reduce your website's emissions.

Obviously the web is only one part of the internet emissions equation (the other parts being streaming, large file transfers, computationally-intensive applications, etc), but it's a massively visible part which is what we think can make this worthwhile.

We believe people who work online—developers, content creators, publishers, etc—have a huge influence, and a message like "This website is carbon neutral" could have a knock-on effect and really help push things in the right direction.

In terms of carbon removal providers, we're using services vetted by Stripe and Microsoft. We rely on them because the space is complex and they have very high standards.

Another benefit is that they back novel solutions that have a while go until the costs are affordable enough for global adoption. This is important because the more support these solutions have, the more likely their costs will come down and become easier to scale.

We'd love to hear your thoughts. If you have any questions, we're both around.

The post i replied to was about how big Qt is, which includes containers, etc. That the specific examples given did not contain "containers" isn't relevant since they are part of the "2 million LOC" mentioned.

Yes, you need to implement similar functionality, like abstracting the window system, input handling, text, etc but you do not need to replicate what Qt does to have a GUI toolkit.

Qt is very complex and Qt is (among others) a GUI library but Qt being complex doesn't mean that GUI libraries have to be complex.
As a CLI power user I can say that I don't think CLI gives much productivity wins over UI/IDE debugging. However, it lets you script things, display things that your IDE wouldn't normally display for you and do some automatic or semi-automatic analysis. Also, as you said indeed there is no ollydbg, or rather x64-dbg equivalent on Linux (which is what people use nowadays on Windows as ollydbg is not developed anymore afaik).

Also even if you use GDB in IDE, you still may need to fall back to the embedded GDB console as e.g. some classes are missing pretty printers or the IDE UI does not allow you to investigate navigate things properly. For example when you have a structure field that is void* and is casted to one or another type depending on the context, it is much easier to use the console to investigate it.

I know someone that works in federal systems in a secure area, and you cannot take anything into the secure facility other than your physical being and the clothes you are wearing. Not even a wind up Timex watch. They have lockers outside the secure area where you deposit all your personal effects before entering the secured area. Everything goes into the locker. So it is a little odd that deployed troops are allowed to carry connected devices, other than military issued.
Claims of discrimination in top schools are often based around the incorrect belief that admissions are based mostly on academic qualifications. That hasn't been true for a while now.

I'm not sure where I heard it, but the admissions departments aren't looking for well rounded students, they are looking for a well rounded class.
This sounds awesome! Rust seems like it should be a good fit for native applications (Nice language+tools, and fast), but its lack of robust GUI tools limits this. This should help, if it works well.

like a simplified form of HTML (<a>, <b>, <sup>, some kind of table formatting, etc). The latter is non-proprietary, easily read and diffed, and communicates better than pure text.

Yes, but, the problem isn't typically being proprietary, when it comes to future use, but a closed, non standard, unknown format.

Yet you're creating a new standard here, with your own rules, which no one will understand, and which no automated tools can convert to another format.

(Eg some kind of table formatting)

Better to be 100% html than this.

(Maybe you meant that, but regardless, this is a good place for me to comment on standards being more important than anything else.)
When Dartmouth accepted women they increased the class size so they still admit the same number of men. It seems like a good compromise. I'm sure it is not perfect but I think it should be better than holding the class size fixed.

(Note that many school buildings are quite old. A school could replace their smallest buildings with larger ones so as to not need more land. Furthermore, this is something alumni can make happen by stipulating it with their donations; no need to go to court.)

I think the game should scroll up infinitely as you progress. It will enhance the psychological feel of falling in space when the pong drops. And you can introduce levels, bosses, goals, etc.

I think this is something the numerical analysts are missing. They are looking at probability and frequency, which tells you about an outcome given a perfect, logical player with unbounded matching skills.

But a human player though might do better by priming their pattern matcher with something more likely to trigger good hints, such as knowing more vowels. My start word is often AEONS
Wordle is basically gambling, but like a lot of games of chance you can improve your odds using skill. A good vocabulary, good starter words, solid analytical skills. But peeking at the word list, players are often still left with three or four viable options after two or three guesses. Lucky guesses will result in completing the daily game in three or four tries, unlucky guesses will push this up.

As can be seen, Russian military is a joke, because of corruption. Russia is deeply corrupt and that made it's military under-bugeted, a lot of the allocated budget went into the pockets of higher-ups. The only way Russia is feared it's because of its nukes.

35 isn't old at all. The biggest factor against you is the fact that you've been doing something else for the past 6 years. You need a good story for why you're moving back to development and you need to be able to show that you can still do development work. If you can pick up some development work at your current company, that would help a lot, otherwise think about doing some programming on the side.

Once these moats disappear, there's a real chance that people will migrate to chat clients that have a strong security reputation and no unwanted features or dark patterns. Then presumably those clients will make it easy for people to create accounts on other networks, so platforms will have to innovate and compete if they want to keep their users.

Nintendo Switch Pro Reportedly Surfaces in Nvidia Leak
I attended TJ, back when it was about 30% Asian. I’ve always felt like the school should do more to get more underrepresented minorities. I’ve found the recent efforts very off-putting however.

It’s based on a modern strain of social justice ideology that adopts some very ugly assumptions about Asians. I’m reminded of Alison Collins in San Francisco, who called Asians “house n—-ers” and said they use “white supremacist thinking to get ahead.” https://missionlocal.org/2021/03/alison-collins-school-board....

Not everybody out and says stuff like this, obviously, but I sense the sentiment lurking under the surface in a lot of modern social justice discourse. In order to fit Asian economic success into their framework of “white supremacy” they end up making some extremely offensive assumptions. For example I’ve seen respectable articles arguing that the “model minority” stereotype arises from white people “allowing” Asian to be successful, to use them as a “wedge” against other minorities. I’ve been told to my face that Asians aren’t “grateful” enough to Black people for the Civil Rights movement and we “owe them.”

You see a form of this in particular the discussion around TJ. For example, opponents of merit-based admissions act like test prep is basically cheating, and elevate its effectiveness to mythic proportions. I prepped for the TJ test and SAT. It consisted of going to some Indian dude’s house for an hour every Saturday for a summer. Not private tutoring—six or eight kids crowded around a small dining room table doing practice problems. If that’s a game changer what does that say about American K-8 math education? And they act like the cost makes it unattainable for anyone else. But it’s a few thousand dollars if that (as low as under $1,000) which is reachable to all but destitute families. My uncle does math tutoring in Canada. His students are all immigrant kids from the high rise subsidized housing complex where he lives with my aunt and cousin. (My cousin lived there until he got his engineering degree and MBA and moved to a nice apartment in Toronto.)

The modern social justice folks blame all economic disparities on white people, and thus don’t even have the intellectual tools to explain what’s happening with Asians except through some distasteful assumptions.
It's certainly true that for high-end displays I'd just go to Dell/LG/Samsung etc instead of AliExpress. Heck, anything that's premium enough to cover beyond sRGB is likely to be rare on Ali. But (imo) the biggest benefits of low price and easy accessibility to the low-mid end of products is the benefit.

Not saying that you can't get those 8k panels LG uses - but - sending 4k USD to someone over AliExpress feels quite risky even to me. You could probably get good stuff if you put in the effort but if you're earnings decent money from your CS job (I suppose most here are, I'm still a student) then it'll probably be easier to buy OEM/brand name.

Tangential, but how is a "rug pull" different from a run-of-the-mill confidence scam? Every time I hear about one, it sounds like The Music Man but with crypto and a bunch of extra zeroes.

Anyway, I don't think the Times should help con artists rebrand a classic scam as something novel (with the implication being that no one could have predicted this brand new kind of criminal behavior).

> The expectation it creates are stronger than what can be induced by

Yes. The remote 'big other' can exert more affect than our closest
friends or even parents. It fuses group approval/awareness with the
predator. I think that's why authoritarian leftists dislike the
traditional "nuclear family".

> Child protection becomes an issue about how to sabotage encryption.

The four horsemen of the infopocalypse is a parochial spectre. It's up
to us hackers to push the conversation beyond that as quickly as
possible. Understanding the ways that technology facilitates abuse
that has nothing to do with CSAM and kiddy-fiddling nonces - and
making people more aware of that - is important in the struggle for
humane technology.

> acceptance does not rely on their agreeableness.

Beautifully put. Exactly this.

> I don't think the solution is becoming a luddite.

Be careful even saying that. The principle trick that techno-zealots
use is levelling the "accusation" of neo-Ludism, and trying to
conflate reasoned tech-critique with regressive savagery. It's an old
trick, but still quite effective as you just demonstrated :) Besides
the Luddites, as a socio-cultural phenomenon, were much less two
dimensional than widely supposed. See Cory Doctorow's recent essay [1]
on that.

I've used mac/windows/linux each as developer workstation over the years.

There are times when each has its strengths, but if it comes down to preference, I pick linux.

The reasons are conceptual consistency, corporate independence and extensibility.

If the platform is stable and being maintained, isn't controlled by a rent-seeking corporation, I'll put up with a lack of whizbang gadgetry.

If it is stable, I can augment the platform myself, and the investment of effort makes sense.

That said, I do like the WSL2 work MS is doing, especially when paired with vscode. On the other hand I HATE the dark pattern BS microsoft pulls these days.
Such as? Can you provide any examples?
So far, every time I have seen the discussion of hypocrisy, it has been in direct reply to a person trying to discuss the [lack of] justification for invading Ukraine. In those cases, "it" (the conversation) is not about hypocrisy.

Further, a nation isn't one person. Even a government isn't one person. Hypocrisy is hard to prove, and easy to throw into a conversation.

If I were in a life-or-death national crisis, under attack in my home, I would be demoralized and furious with those taking the opportunity to make accusations against those trying to support me of hypocrisy on such a broad political scale ("that country is being hypocritical"), based on conflicts past.

As a topic in a void, it's a legitimate accusation. But it seems so disrespectful to human life and human rights, given the context of the present.
