A lot of against & some for the smarts here... rather than just steam off & insist tv's need to be dumb, I feel like we need a return to what worked, to the pc era.

Sure Windows 3.1 and beyond were rip roaringly popular but there were always other OS options. We never got locked into unseemly paths. Maybe TV just need to embed small x86 computers, to handle the smart side?

Admittedly there's little actual competition in most os arenas. Apple versus either Microsoft or Google. And Microsoft appears to be going evil, with spyware & adware since their install-base is seemingly unshakeable. But hey, the idea of choice might bring some sunlight to disinfect these situations. Do you want a tv that runs ChromeOS, Android, or GoogleTV? Or webOS or Roku or Tizen? Rather than separate sticks I feel like a real/done well smart tv would have modularity. Alas we just dont expect good things from companies & technology in today's world.

I might be living in a different Europe than you but from what I see around my Slack is very pervasive and Teams is only used for video meetings because companies are already on office365.

Nothing but hate for the chat/collaboration features…
Zulip is fantastic. It mixes the paradigms of IRC and email while providing a clean interface that runs beautifully in a browser. The Rust language developers use it and I couldn't imagine any better way to keep up with the volume of so many discussions across so many teams.

However, the mobile app could use a whole lot of polish. I rarely use chat apps on my phone, but if I did then I wouldn't have nearly as good an impression of Zulip as I do.

I agree with you.

This has been the difficult bit for the ecosystem, and I think grasps at what GP is saying. For every competent dev/cryptographer in the space, there are 10(0) who are not because there’s so much money floating around. Those 10(0) may implement zk-class protocols incorrectly and end up in the same situation we see today. There is promise in but a ton of validation/maturation to do for zkrollups in the wild.
Very clear, and helpful. Tells me exactly what I needed to know. That I shouldn't work with you.
It’s boring when UIs have a stark contrast; What makes light contrasts beautiful is rarity. Perhaps in the future, extremely elusive UIs with very faint variations will be the top of the design fashion after using cookies to know the user’s tolerance to light contrast.

For example, today’s movies are pitch black because they want to upsell 5000:1 screens. The sole reason it didn’t happen to software yet is because we don’t receive any kickback from screen manufacturers, as opposed to movies.
Sure, like this, right? [1]

Building a Transport Protocol on ARP
This is classic example of what happens when system tries to make everyone feel good about themselves no matter where they actually stand. The feedback signal is now so blunt that it is fairly useless. It's like you remove all the grading in compass and how you have no idea which direction you are moving and where you have to go. As a child, grading is what motivated me to work harder and be proud of my achievement. It's the reward you get for putting in the work. It was the reason I gravitated to doing extra work instead of watching TV. This new system basically says you have to do minimal thing and there is no reward or motivation provided for going above and beyond the norms.

The argument that this will somehow help underpriviledged students is so severely misguided. I was in fact the underpriviledged student. The good grades is what allowed others to invest in me and give me opportunities. It was one thing I could own and control. I feel sorry for so many talented hardworking underpriviledged students who will have nothing more to show for than "Meets standards".

> At the end of the semester, I do have to give students grades, as required by the university.

> But I do not grade individual assignments. Instead, I give students extensive feedback and ample opportunity to revise.

I see here both tracking progress and providing a clear report on the end result of a task. This teacher seems to meet both your requirements, and probably doesn't deserve the disdain of someone that seems to hold the opinion that mindless grade chasing is the way to actually learn things.

More so, there's no indication that the answer "I am here just to get the credits and get some reading done" is unacceptable to the question of "why are you here?".
DisplayPort has a usb2 over aux channel mode that similarly sounds awesome & sensible & which seemingly no one ever bothered to implement. :(
In Argentina, in 2002, they took everyone's dollars denominated accounts at the Argentinian banks, converted them to Pesos and devalued the peso by 75%. Everyone in the country now had 1/3 of the money they previously had. The country is arguably still recovering from that theft.

Currently, people who left Ukraine are finding out that their Ukrainian credit cards no longer work. Some people who have bitcoin are still able to use that.
You did impressive work mate.
If this was really a concern, it would have likely not been deprecated in the move to 64-bit, and would have had support in other architectures as well.

And if you're really worried about size, "JNO 1f; INT xy; 1f:" 'with xy having to be system wide and well known, but it would only take 3 extra bytes (or just 2, if you HLT and the OS knows what JO/HLT combo means). The branch predictor will likely predict this as a no-take in any tight loop.
If that happened (UK) here I don't know how everyone would get to school? I guess the answer is get in a car? Which is just as crazy.

I think it's creepier that we force children to be grown-up and take on adult attributes before they're ready.

WOOT !!! Zulip is amazing and this is a big release.

In particular, the source code and dev process are truly delightful, and I've painlessly made all sorts of custom mods to it, from UI to backend. Most systems of its size are "open source in name only" but not Zulip.
I can't edit it anymore and I'm tired of seeing this stupid comment in my history so I'm replying to myself say that obviously the milk would be in a cooler or icebox. I'm not sure why I thought a refrigerator was the only way to keep food cold.

What a kinder and gentler internet we missed. I for one would support the "pigeoneer" position for my own small tech firm.
the OP has mastered their emotional response and will be fine by their own reckoning. i wouldn’t be so direct if the person hadn’t insisted they could handle it. i was in fact respecting their autonomy by treating them in the exact way they said they prefer.
> Right but if the premise is a critique of traditional media not doing a good enough job by, say, focusing on made up narratives or 'both sides-ing' an actual position vs a caricature position, how is this addressed by basically amplifying bullshit further?

All narratives are made-up narratives. The problem is, your bullshit/not-bullshit dichotomy doesn't necessarily line up with someone else's. Your idea of bullshit versus not-bullshit has your own priorities/associations/assumptions baked into it. A steel-manned version of the opposing argument probably isn't going to line up with the average statement of the argument as you're likely to find it in the wild. You can just ignore shit-posts that you consider bullshit, or you can try to understand the priorities/associations/assumptions that lead people to make those shit-posts.

Kudos to the OP for doing this. Providing people with sympathetic representations of what they consider bullshit isn't going to win you any popularity contests though, except among people who already like sympathetic representations of what they consider bullshit, which isn't exactly the audience who needs this.
I first learned about the Elan "School" from this video by Nexpo [0], and later watched a documentary. I honestly couldn't believe how surreal the whole story was.

The basic concept of capitalism is that there are capital owners, and they hire workers who use that capital to generate value. The capital owners receive all of that value and then pay the workers for their time.

This is not a comprehensive description of capitalism but it is the low level idea. Obviously there is a distribution of real world behaviors.

Ask HN: What made the 80s so pleasant?
Watching Stranger things, and Wow, the 80's, so colourful! What a time to be alive!

I was born in 1995, but I wish I'd experienced the 80's. I'd like to know was it like for HN'ers who were there at the time.
This does not really change the fact that we are applying current ideas about how a building should look like in a future we don’t know. For all we know refurbished brutalist buildings will be all the rage in 2070.
I moved from Ireland, which is quite like Scotland weather-wise and where I cycled everywhere every day, to a place with much harsher winters and where I still cycle most days. Not everyone can, but most can. And you can cover greater distance with e-bikes if you insist on living that far. We could be subsidising those in addition to EV subsidies but we don't.

This person isn't demanding that you live in their "dystopia" but asking that we stop forcing everyone through policy to live in the current one. I have to go out of my way and put my life in reckless drivers' hands just to cycle places. Maybe we could change the incentive structure of modern living so that my option is easier and driving is harder. Then everyone can still do whatever they want but there is less friction to doing the "right" thing.
You're listening to experts that can't do math. 20 yrs x $40k is $800k. Did the other $200k vanish??
> So getting an A or a C in arithmetic doesn't reveal anything about retained learning or track progress?

Yes, because Goodhart's law is applied. "When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure". Many of those getting an A in arithmetics will have learned "how to get an A" instead of "how to practice and use arithmetics".

In Romania, where school is very focused on grades at all levels, pupils really do actually learn how to get the grade instead of how to think. And the actual content is forgotten after a week or a month.
>I think a move to SPA gets more attractive when you have 1) ad-hoc client-only state 2) that shouldn't be explicitly reflected in your server-side data model 3) produced without coordination by different independently-enhanced components sharing a page 4) which causes unexpected interactions between them.

That's a lot of what I was thinking about when I was thinking if discord really needed to b an SPA, all that ad-hoc client state would need to be reflected on the server.

Inside that repo you'll see two key folders:

The naming convention could be better.

Both of these are deployed to Vercel as separate "sites" using their mult-zone setup [1]. This setup is so that the docs are deployed on a sub-path (supabase.com/docs), rather than a subdomain (docs.supabase.com)

> There definitely seems to be at least a little truth to that argument, though.

Of course there is, but as this thread is trying to point out, that "little truth" is completely insufficient when assessing risk. The degree to which a particular government can interfere with companies headquartered there matters. The legal culture in those countries matter. The ability to contest and redress this interference matters. An estimate of the worst that can happen to an individual who resists this interference matters.

I'm a US citizen living in the US, so I'm certainly biased, but I do believe my data (and my person, and if I ran a company, my company too) is much safer being in the US than in Russia.

It's certain that all major world powers engage in various forms of cyber warfare. It's completely expected that countries (and companies within them) that are allied will (most of the time) not expose other allies for cyber attacks and malware distribution. It's also completely expected that antagonistic countries (and their companies) will do so.

Back to the point of this article: of course Kaspersky is a US national security threat, precisely because it (as a Russian entity) will try to expose the US government's cyber warfare capabilities. Whether or not Kaspersky is a threat to the cybersecurity of individuals in the West isn't the issue here. (I would expect they probably are, to some extent, though!)
The "flyover" states.
The weird part there is that Zulip seems like a more sensible match for OSS especially since you can actually self-host it
That is a possibility. It would likely need to be digital, not printed, to avoid stale data. The identity verification will still be less than what you could do with something certificates or RSA tokens since there's nothing guaranteeing the person on the other end is who they say they are (numbers change, area could be unsecured/unmanned, call redirected, etc).
I struggle to understand how GPT-3 executes code. Is it simply running a python (or any other language) interpreter? Or is GPT-3 itself interpreting and executing python code? If the latter question is true that would be amazing.
Topical may imply temporary, which may have struck a chord with you, but this brings a genuine curiosity to the burning question, what are the conditions if any for returning to normal? I chuckle as I write this as living in western Canada, we just recently got the public place mask mandate removed so it's back to "normal" for some people even more, except we are dealing with record high inflation across the board (lumber too) -- c'est la vie...

Like, there have been mini-pandemics in the past (Spanish Flu is one I read a bit about), how do we "win" against it instead of just "minimize damage"? Herd immunity? Given headlines like OP, it makes one pause to think.

Some of the performance claims have a caveat, though: Lookup tables and micro-benchmarks don't mix well. At all.

WARN : deeply disturbing and utterly compelling

Im 10 pages in, taking a break because its too heavy ..

Random thoughts come to mind, given recent events, such as how a whole populace can be subjugated by regular abuse and misinformation .. and follow the whims of a despotic cult-leader. [ It strikes me most Russians have no idea whats going on in Ukraine, or are happy to pretend its not really happening. Why do millions have to have their lives uprooted by the decisions of one person ? ]

How many of us have the wherewithal to question the cultural rules we were brought up with, or the persistence to improve or change things, fighting a life-sapping bureaucracy ?

I fortunately live in a liberal democracy with excess food and security, with only first-world problems .. and yet .. it seems 85% of the citizens want action on climate change, while our elected leaders are hell bent on burning as much carbon as possible - so I have to ask, am I even living in a democracy ?

As a software dev, Ive been long thinking that almost all of our systems are far too centralized, and thus too brittle .. banking/currency/payments, social media, communications, food production, energy supply, politics, military, shipping/trade/transport, workplaces, education ..

yes, all of this is off-topic, but there are echoes .. we do have to keep re-remembering the Holocaust, because we are the same humans.
I feel like I've been seeing a lot of comments lately to the effect of, "no - that would be illegal!" Yeah, we are talking about criminals who are already breaking one law. Often criminals who, in the very nature of their crime, are hard to identify.

But then, even if they're not overtly breaking the law with a simple request for information, debt collectors and car warranty salesman are notorious for sending letters that will imply they are your financial institution, the letter was sent by your account manager, etc. IRS impersonators will tell people that jail time is imminent. I can imagine someone could create something that looks to a non-lawyer (who's afraid and not paying attention) like it's basically warrant signed by someone who's basically a judge, but just doesn't outright say that. You'd still need to verify - hey is this person actually a judge, and did this person actually sign that as a warrant?
I think being able to bear the responses which do not agree with yours is an important step in civil discourse, even if the tone of the responses doesn't agree with your tone, or especially kind. This is what HN has taught me over the years. It improved me leaps and bounds on that front, and it's invaluable in my eyes.

I'm not anonymous here, yet the most heated discussion never spilled over to my personal mail address, but I got some genuine questions and a couple of job offers.

So, other people's anonymity choice is not something I care about. They can be who they want. I'm here as a person, with my own choices, with my own tone. My choices brought me some great discussion, sometimes kind, sometimes not. Regardless of my correctness and knowledge level on the issue, I always came out improved from every single one of them. Either on the knowledge front, or the actual ability to discourse, or both.

So, it's not a kind of a race to the bottom. Other people's choices shouldn't bother anyone, unless the other party doesn't harass or cross some well defined lines of being civil and ethic.
Dyson Sphere Program might be a bit more accessible than Factorio, at least to start. Factorio I was lost without watching Youtube videos, whereas Dyson Sphere I got pretty far with just the in-game tutorials, and only eventually started checking online wikis to help figure out what all I'd need to build in a supply chain to make certain things.

I think it's worth non-trivial effort on my part to adopt a strategy that gives me a better grasp of time. There are certainly more pragmatic approaches than attempting to apply the method of loci, but it's a fun idea to play with and has the potential to allow tacking on additional information such as the day of week each calendar day of a given year will be.
It looks like they're shifting to efficiency as a target. In their latest 12th gen desktop CPUs, you could re-enable avx512 if you disabled the "efficiency" cores. Then they released a BIOS update with that feature removed. Has there been an instruction set that failed? Itanium maybe?
Good first impression. I searched for "split keyboard negative tilt" and it returned relevant results about specific models.

Meanwhile Google just promoted SEO optimised "top 25 best keyboards" crap articles and Brave was somewhere in between.
But that's the whole point of the criticism. It only looks "pretty" to very naive eyes. If you are used to the genre, these photos are bland at best and downright bad/ugly for the most part.
