I agree - tech people need to get out more.

I am sorting people into virtuals and physicals nowadays.

All my interest is on the physical side of life.

Physical is where I want to be, and I am sort of.. but still I'm too heavy on the virtual.
I would have responded differently had that been the statement. But many of the responses were more than that.
> Americans adore the idea that just because it wasnt written down, it somehow holds no value to the parties involved

I recently noticed the same thing. That this idea of innocent because of insufficient evidence (by some conveniently chosen, case by case, definition of insufficient) is pervading some Americans thinking on the variety of subjects including US foreign policy but also for example corporate responsibility.
> Why did you not just make telemetry and logins opt-in?

While I'm not them, I can answer this. Users did ask for this as much as they asked for other things.

> You prioritized your own desires (not needs mind you) rather than your users.

That's an awfully big assumption to make, and one that does not conform to reality.
This is a pretty naive view of the reality of NATO. In reality NATO is from its founding a U.S. lead mission that was created to suppress what was then the Soviet Union. This is explicitly stated by the first heads of NATO. To achieve that purpose the U.S. has done all sorts of nefarious things from recruiting former Nazi generals to invading and regime changing countries. Taking the propaganda of any world power as truth is a mistake, and I’m surprised about how many people on HN seem to be doing it. Learning about the history of NATO is the bare minimum that should be done before claiming to educate others about it.
This is pretty much my exact experience as well. I'm just too damn lazy to find a different WiFi to switch it out. It does seem to have gotten worse in the last 6months or so. I love the gigabit outbound for being able to connect to my OwnCloud server while away from home at high enough speeds I don't use Dropbox/iCloud/etc.
And batteries. This is only viable for a few days at most though, it doesn't work for seasonal differences.
Came to say the exact same as the other replier to this comment. Jumped right in to demo it and couldn't figure out what to do so I gave up.
I don't like Palantir, but I'm not sure why you're being downvoted. You are correct that Palantir probably would not want to acquire a bunch of biometric data. My mistake.
Really impressive considering the setup. Would love to see them grow fungi around a lattice to have input and output in a controlled manner.
There have been a few these universal end-to-end JavaScript frameworks.

However this framework looks more promising because React, GraphQL, and TypeScript have slowly become industry standards and because its immediately getting good funding and organization behind it.
I'd say Dall-E 2 is a little more unified - they do have multiple networks, but they're trained to work together. The previous approaches I was talking about are a lot more like the microservices analogy. Someone published a model (called CLIP) that can say "how much does this image look like a sunset". Someone else published a totally different model (e.g. VQGAN) that can generate images (but with no way to provide text prompts). A third person figures out a clever way to link the two up - have the VQGAN make an image, ask CLIP how much it looks like a sunset, and use backpropagation to adjust the image a little, repeat until you have a sunset. Each component is it's own thing, and VQGAN and CLIP don't know anything about one another.
Nothing, it's just funny they decide to announce it directly after his poll. Maybe they rushed to make it clear he didn't have anything to do with it? Maybe it's just a coincidence. Neither way matters.
Hundreds of states in the world, but thousands of languages. How do you want to do? Most languages do not bear the name of any state.
And the "code" formatting for quotes is generally a bad choice because people read on a variety of screen sizes, and "code" formatting can screw that up (try reading the quote with a really narrow window).

Just as a FYI, there is already https://ubic.app/ that does that using passports as source of zero-knowledgee identification.
You should probably get Pixel 6(pro) as they are supported almost as long as iOS on iPhones. Here is a Reddit post about it https://www.reddit.com/r/GrapheneOS/comments/souxzc/

Ask HN: What hardware technology/startup are you excited about?
While reading a 2020 Ask HN [1], I was amazed that some of the most interesting techs mentioned are hardware, making hardware is difficult and expensive, which also makes it precious and exciting, so what are your picks for exciting hardware(and HW related software) in 2022?

While we're being distracted by endless social media and meaningless news, AI technology is advancing at a mind blowing pace. I'd keep my eye on that ball instead of "the current thing."

It can explain Intel's move to file the patent, which seems stupid at a first glance.

Man what the hell, I’m wondering where people find these jobs. Pay me to play with SIMH? I’d take it.
Judging by the number of comments suggesting to make comments "editable for only a few minutes after they’re first posted", I don't think that's right.
It's a good article. TLDR: you can use even smaller holes than IPC recommendations (large) or internet consensus (somewhat smaller than IPC) for a more consistent break and nicer finished edge. Also keep the tabs small enough for a manual depanelizing tool like Hakko sells.

For production your assembler's opinion should come first though. Differences in panelization can make a big difference in throughput and yield and they are the experts on their machines and processes. Some really good assembly houses will want to control the panelization themselves and will just ask for unpanelized board files.
Worldcoin isn't an effort to accumulate biometric data — Clear (the private company that competes with TSA PreCheck) does this at most airports in the US. Instead, Worldcoin uses sophisticated cryptography[1] specifically to avoid the collection of biometric data.

The value appears to be in the ability to resist the Sybil problem[2] with this cryptographic proof of uniqueness[3] as well as the wide distribution of tokens (a play on Metcalfe's Law)[4].

Of course, I expect the usual unrelenting crypto skepticism from HN, and see that proudly on display today. :)

> engineers will move up the abstraction stack and become more efficient

Above a certain threshold of ability, yes.

The same will hold true for designers. DALL-E-alikes will be integrated with the Adobe suite.

The most cutting edge designers will speak 50 variations of their ideas into images, then use their hard-earned granular skills to fine-tune the results.

They'll (with no code) train models in completely new, unique-to-them styles--in 2D, 3D, and motion.

Organizations will pay top dollar for designers who can rapidly infuse their brands with eye-catching material in unprecedented volume. Imitators will create and follow YouTube tutorials.

Mom & pop shops will have higher fidelity marketing materials in half the time and half the cost.

All will be ever as it was.
Most painful mistake was that right at the end of the cold war Russia wasn't strongly encouraged, even pressured or bribed to join NATO.

Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer.
The startup bubble will be the next dotcom. Only the best, led by nietzschean Musk clones, will live.
>No such promise was made, ever, it was floated but it was never written down in any treaty or even publicly announced. It's putins propaganda and if Chomsky had any shame he would be ashamed for parroting it.

Oh, I actually had tried to look up this subject before. Didn't know there was no agreement and this would explain why I couldnt find it.

I think we could debate the need for Ukraine to be in NATO? Ukraine isn't exactly in the North Atlantic.

If Ukraine wanted a defensive alliance, there was many options other than NATO. There's even the option of creating your own. They did none.

If I were NATO. I would ignore Ukraine. Get the rest of the atlantic countries joined up. South and central america. West African countries.
The problem in small towns is that the idiots in charge, generally, haven't ever left the small towns. Therefore, they are blissfully unaware of their ignorance. They don't even know what they don't know.

They apply lessons their fathers and mothers learned in the 50's and 60's about how business is done with a handshake and a friendly disposition to today's world.

And if you don't have the right last name or the willingness to defer to their ignorant authority, you can't get anything done.

It's frustrating to see the same people from the same families making the same stupid mistakes for literally generations. It's more frustrating to be excluded from that process that you know you can help fix just because you dared to leave the community for any period of time regardless of whether it was for fun or for advanced university studies or your last name is tainted because your grandpa was a complete shithead, regardless of how you turned out.

A bit of a rant. But. I have been tempted to run, and I have been elected to the council. And I couldn't get anything done, because I was purposefully excluded as an outsider with too much education, regardless of what I tried. It was frustrating.

That's an interesting point! I suppose the definition of 'consciousness' implies a certain timescale in my internally unexamined definition but there's no reason that need be the case!
This wins today's prize for the most misleading headline.

No, there is no fungal analog to the works of Shakespeare.
For me "magic" is something that's initially impressive but is actually just the result of a very specific setup or slight-of-hand, which actually has little to no practical usage.

To me this is an adequate description of most of the software 'tricks' presented to me as magic.
Nailed it.

Not rocket science; focusing on delivering VALUE in exchange for the money you charge has always been the obvious, unsexy, boring, fundamental thing that makes any economy function.

So yeah, it's not surprising your friend has closed over 30mm. Especially if he's treating his employees well (which is what it sounds like, esp. wrt. pension). And there's unsexy rule number 2: you treat the people who do the hard work really well, you pay them well, and you hire accordingly because that translates into an intangible competitive advantage that doesn't lend itself well to quantifiable measurement, but something we all have a word for anyway: OPTIMISM!

It's no secret why these shit-for-pay businesses all over the country are having a hard time filling open hiring reqs; because the pay sucks! And that's usually a fair indicator of how your employer's going to treat you if you join them, too. If they're not willing to pay a reasonable living wage, you can be pretty sure they're also not going to bother making the working environment anything even marginally better than the law requires as an absolute minimum. And frankly that legal bar is far, far too low to begin with (and we're not even talking minimum wage here, just basic human decency is lacking most of the time).

So yeah, kudos to your buddy there. If small businesses want to compete with the big guys, this is how you do it. You don't undercut, you charge fair, you pay better, and you over-deliver.

It's called "hard work", and that's precisely why it's so damn rare.
Folks are likely going to say they can't do this "at scale". However, I've been in both the "small shop with Jenkins running on a Dell blade" and also in the "mega-corp with lots of devs everywhere using all kinds of CI pipelines". I think there is merit in what you're saying, but I suggest an addendum.

In both cases, have seen the "CI is down" issues crop up.

There seems to be a middle ground that I have yet to fully do, but have seen folks do and heard it works well:

Make it so folks can deploy their CI pipeline anywhere. In my case, I would create Docker containers that can run the CI pipeline, pipe the output/result to anywhere you want and have it be able to run anywhere.

The goal is that you could deploy it on a VPS somewhere, or on a Dell blade in your closet, or even run it on a dev's machine. The idea is that you want to reliably be able to run the CI steps anywhere without jank while following the full process the same as if it was running on your dedicated job runner solution. Redundancy, if you will.

I think the idea isn't necessarily "Jenkins in your company closet is better" and more of "how easily can you setup your CI pipeline to get your work done?"
If Putin had simply waited, ... he could have probably eliminated NATO as a "threat" to Russia within a decade.

At 70, I wonder if Putin thinks he doesn't have a decade to wait.
Why do you keep doing things that don't make you happy?

Why do you feel the need to do so many extra-curricular activities related to child education? Can't you take your kids to the park, show them stuff and talk to them about it? One of the cool things that most adults forget about childhood is that everything is new for kids. Even stuff that kids are used to; they have really only scratched the surface of- they haven't had the time or the life experience to deeply understand things, but they also haven't had the life experience to become jaded or cynical. Spending some time around them doing stuff that is not homework, can be fun, or at least interesting.

Do you want to be unfulfilled?

If you truly cannot find joy in anything, then you are likely suffering from depression, and you should go see a doctor. It won't get better by itself.
So they cited Ian's 2016 article (which contained the AMD diagrams), then basically rendered those same diagrams in black and white in the patent. Pretty lazy.
I don't think you're an outlier really. IMHO the problem with Snow Crash is that it hasn't aged well. I enjoyed it in the mid-90s, but I recently re-read it, and found it hard to get through (until the very end, anyway). It feels like a frozen-in-time product of the early 90s in a lot of ways, not just in terms of the technological outlook but also with respect to some of the social aspects addressed in the book. There's also very little character development; at one point, for example, a character kills another character in a bar over a threat, and at no point later on does he experience any kind of mental or moral anguish over his first experience of killing.)

Neuromancer on the other hand has aged incredibly well. The ICE tech doesn't make much sense, but the characters feel honest and real, and so many actual contemporary issues (AI ethics, transhumanism, transgender issues, mass surveillance, anonymous coordinated activism, economic oligarchs heading into space, even a tank war in Europe!) resonate throughout the book in ways that don't feel dated.

As much as I've heard people say they want an edit button, I've rarely heard their reasons for why they want an edit button.

What reasons have you heard for why people want an edit option on Twitter?
This is actual image generation - the 'decoder' takes as input a latent code (representing the encoding of the text query), and synthesizes an image. It's not compositing or querying a reference library. The only time that real images enter the process is during training - after that, it's just the network weights.
Allot of great minds have sabotaged their own work. Best thing to do is keep moving forward from any road-block in life. Life won't stop for you, and you should not stop living in the process.
I was very confused why Russia felt the need to meddle in US politics reading coverage of 2016.

If we look at the timeline, US signaling intent to expand nato lines up perfectly with Russia’s belligerence, and it’s not exactly subtle.

Putin more or less said “we won’t stand for this” at the time.

Perhaps it is a lack of empathy as implied by the parent comment, but that seems surprisingly oblivious.
That is a literal copy and paste from the comment you replied to.
While this might be true from a legal standpoint, even using a competitor's presentation for the description seems a bit lazy, and getting caught at it is quite embarrassing. It implies that nobody at Intel can describe a modern processor very well.
There’s billions upon billions of people, any motivated actor could have access to millions of people (Worldcoin have access to 500,000 and it only cost them 25 WRLD each!).

There’s already a black market for this sort of fraud, so this isn’t theoretical, Uber have a lot of problems with it.

Personally I can't stand your nested popups :)

Popups are modal and nested popups represent a path of navigation. Accidentally move the mouse too much and everything disappears - and if the stack was deep, good luck trying to get it back, because you lose the entire path. There's no back button or undo close tab to rescue you.
I also dislike light grey on a white background. Let alone how often the color and size change throughout. It is hard to see and feels noisy - maybe my eyes are already ruined, though I doubt it was from websites that are not to my taste.

If I really want to read something like this I usually copy it into a text editor (usually Sublime).

FWIW, in metro areas there's free over-the-air TV, there's no license fees for that. In my metro area there's easily 80 or so OTA channels I can pick up for free. So one could argue TV in the US is actually £120 less than in the UK, from that perspective. Here you can own and watch TV without paying anything other than the upfront cost of the TV and a wire (the most basic form of antenna).

This would be more like paying for Sky TV subscription.
Nice! I'm curious to know what editor did you use for the textarea where the player enters code. Ace, CodeMirror, rolled out your own?

Every industry has jargon, words which have one meaning in everyday use, but a different meaning within the industry that can be confusing or even hostile to outsiders. "Magic" is an example of jargon when used within the programming community, and especially within the sub-community devoted to Ruby on Rails.

As an example of jargon, the dictionary definition is irrelevant other than to emphasize that it is jargon. There are applicable broad arguments against jargon in general, of course, but as an example of jargon, it's not any worse than any other jargon term or phrase, such as "It's ____ all the way down."

If we want a definition that we can understand, the correct source is not the dictionary, but this quote from OG sci-fi author Arthur C. Clarke: “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.”

With respect to programming, meta-programming is not indistinguishable from a spell cast by a mage in D&D. A better comparison is to prestidigitation, the entertainment art of doing a thing that appears to be impossible, even though everyone in the audience knows that there is a trick to it that can be explained and understood.

It's really that simple. "Magic" as a term of jargon means "A sufficiently advanced use of Ruby's meta-programming that is indistinguishable from a conjurer's trick to those who don't know the trick."

Wind energy is nice and stuff but the moment there’s no wind you have no electricity, it’s not a good energy source if you want to actually remove gas from your grid.
In these monopoly provider situations, can you not get a "dry line" data only package? A lot of people are unfamiliar with that option as the ISP doesn't like to advertise it as they want you to subscribe to their bundles.

However, I have found that by using my cable subscription to gain access to the various streaming apps, it is cheaper than buying all of the apps a la carte.

I get the points you're raising and I agree with the premise. My comment is not a critique on the one choice made by Open AI specifically, but more of a vague lamentation in regards to the internet culture that we've somehow ended up in 2022. I don't want us to go back to 1999 where snuff videos and spam mails reigned supreme, but the pendulum has swung too far in the other direction at this point in time. It feels like more and more companies are choosing the path of neutering themsely to avoid potential PR disaster or lawsuits, and that's on all of us.
