That's the reason I was being persnickety and "science-y" about terms: analogies can lead you astray. You don't know the answer here, and so your options are: 1) do some experiments, 2) reason by science, not analogy.

Here's one for you: what do you think happens if you drank a glass of pure liquid mercury?

Most people think you'd die on the spot. Wrong! That mercury hasn't sublimated into mercury vapor. Instead, it barrels through your alimentary canal like a shot and was used to treat constipation, of all things. It is poorly absorbed by digestion and just runs right through you.

Ask HN: Why is chromes typo suggestions much worse than searches autocorrect?
Just now I was trying to spell "manipulable" and I typed in "manipuble". It gave three options to fix this: "manipulee", "maniple", and "manipulees". But if you just try to google "manipuble", it will inform you that it's instead searching for "manipulable". I can't think of a single time when searching for a misspelled word didn't yield the correct spelling as the first suggested result, but it's almost a daily occurrence for chromes typo suggestions to avoid suggesting the correct, seemingly nearby, word. This feels like a newish occurrence too, I don't remember ever having this much issue with it years ago.

This can be done much more effectively than just “hey does anyone know Java?”

I'll have to check this out properly later. 10 years ago go devs rejected the idea of introducing support hashbangs and now we're left with having to use gorun[0], meaning, people are unlikely to use go for script.

I hope the go devs will reconsider. I'd love to be able to use go for scripting. But as it stands, it's a sad state of affairs because you have to rely on hacks.

No, you cannot tell the difference between 16/44 and 24/192, unless the 24/192 has enough high frequency content to cause non-linear distortions in your speakers.

24/192 makes sense for recording because the extra bits give you more headroom to prevent clipping and the higher sampling rate means you can use less aggressive analog low-pass filters on your input.

I should also note that your playback solution likely has higher THD+N than the floor imposed by 16 bits. 16 bits implies a noise floor of -96dB which would be a THD+N of about 0.002%. Your playback equipment is probably 11-14 bits equivalent for the noise floor (-66 to -84dB). With 16 bits of depth you probably won't even be able to tell between a properly and improperly dithered CD that was normalized before down-sampling.

I agree that spatial audio is long overdue. IMO, Ambisonics had the right idea in the 1970s, though it was at least 20 years to early for actual adoption.

it's stealing because you aren't explicitly told how the provider is and will be using tactics to take (not ask for) your attention from you, nor an estimated mental cost associated with it.
it's like paying for a service with a credit card, without being told how much will be charged. except that this is attention, not money at their disposal.

I recall when YouTube had no ads at all. then placed ad clip somewhere in the video with a very clear yellow bar showing when the ad was coming along with a visual countdown a few seconds before the ad would kick in. then all content would have ad placement and less clear became the yellow indicator.

now? Two ads in row, no indicator, no countdown, and ads randomly kick at the begging at the video and/or randomly throughout.
see what's happening there, an incremental increase of even more so difficult to anticipate attention grabs.

we have wagons of top engineers and psychology graduate paid great money to manipulate billions of people into watching ads.

you could say nobody is forcing people to watch YouTube, but given how it subtly increasingly used dark patterns to show up more ads and doing so at each step of the fact they gained more market share all the way to quasi monopoly, it is shocking we still have to explain on HN threads that ads are nepharious, not just a mere way to generate revenue free of charge for everyone.

My fear is dutifully curating lists for this purpose -- which would take ages -- only for them to monkey with this feature. I see a lot of people on Twitter who say something like "if you put me in a list, I will block you," which makes me think there's some sort of list-spamming capability currently.

Ah, yup, SWIFTnet does indeed run over the public internet (apparently that changed way back in 2005, so my information is quite dated!) TIL!

The question then becomes: how is the network designed to handle DDoS attacks? For example, you'd need to identify the network segment or host IP address where the SWIFTnet connections are terminated, among many other things, and I have no idea how you'd do that and if the system builds in resiliency for things like DDoSes.

Of course, the simpler answer is just to blow up the ISPs and cut power to datacenters.

Regardless, if the Ukrainian banking system connection to SWIFT was indeed disrupted, you wouldn't be able to transfer funds to a crypto exchange in the first place, which rather undermines its use as a way to get funds out of the country...

People are people. Not robots. Producing a website to demand that people address you in an efficient way is a perfect example of why people dread asking us questions at all.

It's staggeringly entitled.

Now, I will follow that up by saying that when I want to get an answer from a website chat support person, I _always_ plan out, draft or bullet-point exactly what I need, so I know I am not asking a dumb question. And then after I have said hello (!) I explain I have done that so I can paste bits in as needed.

But this website goes a bit too far. "No hello"? Really? This is the framing?

I think using std::string and so on from the get-go may be sensible if C++ is the language being used for an introduction to programming, in order to not get mired in difficult details. The great complexity of the language stemming from its history makes it not a great language for beginners, though!

On the other hand, if you are trying to teach C++ to people who already know how to program, then you want them to be able to understand existing C++ code, not just write new code. So they need to understand the complex parts of the language and why they are like that, and the easiest way to do that is to start where C++ started, i.e. with C.

At the end of the day, it's just a map. It seems like there'd be other ways to get maps if this one wasn't available.

I mean, theoretically the Ukraine's "IT Army" or Anonymous or someone could try to crack into Open Street Map and re-draw it so dead-end alleys are misidentified as major thoroughfares. (Or even renegade employees at Open Street Map.) But it also seems really hard to game out in my head just how much of an impact that would really have on any real-world outcomes.

> Which parts of driving would require AGI?

Being able to read the intent of other cars and preemptively act if necessary. For instance, being able to predict that the harried mom on her phone toting 3 screaming kids in her beat up minivan is likely to change lanes without looking (I passed her preemptively), or that the car with out-of-state plates is likely to miss a confusingly signed exit and try and cut over at the last minute without looking (I slowed down preemptively, to let the car abruptly veer across three lanes of traffic ahead of me).

Both of these examples require an understanding of the world that goes far beyond mere driving skills.

While watching it, I wondered whether the "this x does not exist," GAN sites also implies a subset of "this x must exist" and if looking at it that way could yield discoveries in other areas. e.g. This X must exist, where x was a solar system, protein, wave function, chemical substance, cell, transcendental number, etc. Naive view, but when you're extapolating from a field of arbitrary 2D data, it seems there are a lot of ladders you could climb with that.

Would senior engineers be interested in working reduced hours or part time?
I work for a tech company and we're trying to see if there is interest from senior engineers who want to work part time. Now that we're a remote first company, we want to know if there are engineers who are at a point in their career where they no longer want to work full time, but are still interested in working reduced hours or part time. Specifically, we're not so much looking for contractors/freelancers to work on specific projects, but for an experienced senior engineer (previously worked for different start ups, or at a larger top tech company) to join a team and essentially be a guru or advisor to the team.

What are peoples thoughts on this idea? Is this type of thing something that you've seen at other companies, or would be of interest to see at a company?
