I think another acceptable explanation is that movies are marketed not to everyone but to certain people.

So say the latest horror flick that comes around is marketed to teens and 20-somethings. The over-30 crowd gets turned off by violence and gore. But that particular demographic loves it, and the more gore the more they like it.

There's a certain group of people that loved Human Centipede, e.g. But it got terrible reviews. Roger Ebert refused to award it stars, but gave it a few positive notes regardless.

And in it he even said:

I have long attempted to take a generic approach. In
other words, is a film true to its genre and does it
deliver what its audiences presumably expect? “The Human
Centipede” scores high on this scale. It is depraved and
disgusting enough to satisfy the most demanding midnight
movie fan. And it's not simply an exploitation film.

> a UK charity, which has to spend all of its money on charitable purposes.

No.

> The most popular charities in the UK spend anything between 26.2% and 87.3% of their yearly income on charitable causes, according to the best available data.

https://www.theweek.co.uk/fact-check/98581/fact-check-how-do...

Also that doesn't include accumulation of wealth in general - it's perfectly fine to sock away a billion dollars (or pounds) because in principle that money is going to go to charitable activities in the future. Sometime. But there's no legal requirement that "sometime" ever come, so it's just a slush fund.

Again, please don't think of charities as being charities in the traditional sense of feeding nuns and orphans. It may be better to think of them as "non-shareholder corporations". They are corporations, which make money, and accumulate wealth, which is controlled by the board. The difference is that the purpose of the accumulation of wealth isn't for the benefit of shareholders, but in principle it's for the public. In practice it is a slush fund for the board.

You've got tons of UK universities that build up huge endowments, right? Do you think they're the only ones who do that? And not everybody is using that money for scholarships, as it were...
I asked about this on the Github issue regarding these benchmarks as well.

I'm curious as to why libraries like ultrajson[0] and orjson[1] weren't explored. They aren't command line tools, but neither is pandas (which is benchmarked) right? Is it perhaps because the code required to implement the challenges is large enough that they are considered too inconvenient to use through the same way pandas was used (ie, `python -c "..."`)?

Why not? Fload the economy with dollars and people will demand goods. This increased demand will affect shipping prices.
Yeah, bidirectional code gen for no-code tools was our use case too (there's a demo video in the post if you're interested). I saw a bidirectional no-code platform called Vision X the other day, people are definitely working on it. Are the prototypes you worked on online somewhere? It sounds interesting!

There are a bunch of ideas for dev tools in the original post. For example if you integrate with linters, you could define more complex code smells without all the AST juggling. Upgrading rails apps (or other frameworks that have a similarly well-defined structure) to new versions might work, by defining monocles for old the old and new version.
Just like magnetic core memory!

I saw a presentation once (It was not recorded, so I can't link it) that said the difference between real intelligence and artificial intelligence is the ability to quickly learn.

As an example, he said imagine if he invented a word. Poditon. And he told us that a poditon is any object that can fit on a podium. Instantly, you know whether or not any object can be classified as a poditon. A laptop is a poditon, but a car is not.

We are not at the stage where we can just tell a program "Any object that can fit on a podium is a poditon" and then ask "Is X a poditon?" and get a correct answer. And we probably won't be there for another couple decades.
That will get better. We are 18-20 seconds without of much optimization as of right now. We have internal demos being able to start under 1 second.

> Can't you just run it in a container or WASM in the browser?

Great thing about VMs is the security, quick snapshotting, and resource oversubscription.

> WASM in the browser

I personally love WASM and am very excited about it. There are however a lot of use-cases where WASM doesn't cut it. Having full environments with a file system and being able to start any Linux binary is very useful. Especially when you want to show some real-life examples with your API.

Qualia Computing is fun but I'd caution against citing it as a serious academic source, since it mostly consists of abstract conjecture and untested hypotheses.

But while I'm here, let's explore fun. It could be that recovery from anosmia works like, say, nerve pain from spinal cord injury. It seems that the false feelings (burning, electric shocks, allodynia etc.) experienced by paraplegics are the result of neurons sending very different input than the brain has learned to process. Obviously LSD won't help you walk again, but e.g. exposure therapy for allodynia seems to work, probably through neuroplasticity.
Yes, flow batteries, gravity batteries and high water storage will all make their presence felt. Those ~~20-50 tonne bricks they haul and drop would be costly, but I expect them to make them as strong walled brick shapes, with a lower cost fill - be wise to add salt to limit freezing in cold weather.
If Eden the TV series was based on a book, the book could be older, but it isn't.

It's also possible, but not likely, and not the case here, that a TV show could be a sensation long before the first episode comes out. I can't think of a time when this happened except for a prequel or sequel like Better Call Saul, where it was much awaited, but I'm sure there are instances of that occurring.

Edit: from another comment, there's this, which came out in 1997 but isn't mentioned in the Wikipedia article for the TV series so I'm not sure it's related: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eden:_It%27s_an_Endless_Worl... There is a Manga mentioned in the article for the TV series but it came out the same year as the TV show.

Cant speak for OP, but I do know specific people just like that. Too many actually. I think far too many introverts on HN imagine everyone else only knows a handful of people and think people only know other like minded individuals. Outside of the tech industry, it's very common for people to interact with a wide diversity of people.
Wouldn't movie critics tend to be people to like movies in general? What about critics that stick to their preferred genre? They might start out pre-disposed to liking movies which could wipe out the effect of your assertion completely. On one hand, I think there is a good chance you are at least partially correct, but declaring your offhand intuition about movie criticism industry to be the "correct" answer is at best hubris.

Tech is only part of the solution. The other part is having an economic/social system that rewards organizations seeking to benefit society rather than simply existing for the sake of return for shareholders. Nothing stays cool for very long under the latter.

This was oddly reassuring. I am aware that I don't know the first thing about software sales for example (except that it is a job I would probably want to hire people for down the line). I am keeping my eyes open for a way into the market, but it's a big problem since all the competition is decades old and has so many critical features.

I'd be interested to know what actions the US takes other than military training or funding. Groups like ISIS exploit poor and uneducated communities. Investing in infrastructure, jobs,and education sounds like a decent mid- to long-term strategy to strangle their recruitment. This is obviously difficult in countries with a lot of corruption, but those are the same countries where backing militias has unpredictable consequences.
Is it really easy not to come up with the desired explanation here? It seems like the most obvious possible answer, that people tend to watch the types of movies that they like. Actually it seems to provide almost no information unless their hiring pool is mostly candidates who utterly lack common sense.
But do you also trust your phone carrier? (I don't trust either my ISP nor my phone) Or when you're out on WiFi that isn't yours? It's a cheap way to add a little extra bit of security and privacy.

SNI is cleartext enough to be passively logged, so you never know. Maybe some government-mandated (or supplied) switch is logging them to some short-lived log file in case they ever need to pull your hostname history.

Note that SNI sniffing protection is in the works by encrypting the client hello[0]. While it's been in draft for some years now, Chrome has a lot of work being put into it[1], so hopefully it'll be done sometime next year with support within Cloudflare and browsers soon after.

Every time I see these scammy apps in the App Store, it erodes the foundations that support the walls around Apple's garden.

If those walls turn out to be shitty rusty fences instead, then Apple should tear them down completely and give other gardeners an opportunity to make better spaces.

Instead users are in the middle ground between the safety of the walled garden and the freedom of a wide-open app ecosystem. Worst of both worlds.

That’s just the recruiters trying not to get fired. As a fellow mediocre dev who also gets contacted by Amazon recruiters I won’t believe they are interested in changing their ways until they either let up on the mandatory firings or they lower their standards.

Yup, all the time. Recently I've been using reader mode in Edge and it has a "line focus" which highlights 1, 3, or 5 lines as you scroll. I'm finding works just as well for me, but I still highlight outside of that.
It's also a job that will be there until it can be automated or until Amazon closes, and I think it's the latter that's the closest to happening. Until that happens, it'd be better for everyone involved if the tasks that need doing can be arranged so that long-term employment is viable. A job shouldn't be as exploitative as it can be just because there will be someone who's in a rough enough spot in their life that they will take it.
Once you've used a couple more static hosts you'll find that gh pages is a second tier host at best. Lacks some basic configuration options and toolings, can be very slow to update or deploy, the cdn actually isn't as good as others, etc. Github pages is great for hobby projects and if you're happy with it by all means keep using it... but I wouldn't ever set up a client's production site on it.

If you're curious, Netlify is one popular alternative that is easy to get in to even without much experience. I would say even at the free tiers Netlify is easily a cut above Github for static hosting, and it hooks into github near perfect straight out of the box if that is something you value.
At the end of the day, most business owners don't want to connect all these tools together. It just allows them to accomplish business outcomes. What makes their job hard is keeping track where all the data is and how to know if things are working.

Solutions to that problem can take shape as a CRM (and keeping it updated) or something as dumb as a dashboard of dashboards.

The Qt Company deserves the names they get called. Their licensing model for Qt is designed by complete shitheads and is engineered to mislead, frustrate, and ultimately bleed money from you in perpetuity. If your company is large enough to have lawyers, they will imply a threat of legal action to get you to pony up for their useless commercial licensing as soon as they catch wind that you're using the library under LGPL. This is such a fundamental part of their business model that you can't even use their installer any more without providing an email with which they can ask you about whether or not you're breaking the terms of their license.

I like Qt. It has some fucked up bits, but for the most part, it's one of the least frustrating UI experiences I've had. That being said, I can't discourage anybody from using it in a commercial context enough. Please don't give them any money. If you're curious on specifics, just ask; I don't think a wall of text of me just listing my gripes would be terribly helpful.
What's the point of a walled garden if the gardener doesn't give a shit?
First, Thanks for your response.

I feel confident with my English. I don't feel bad when I don't know how to say something and I can't talk in almost situation. However, in the IT field (and in almost all professional fields) you have to speak properly to be considered an "expert". I'm not talking about having a different accent, I'm talking more about things like using the proper verbs tenses or the best sentence structure. This is what I want to point out when I refer to fluency.
You can be loud about it: the majority of people won't hear you, and the majority of people who do hear you, won't care.

The state of static analysis in the GCC 12 compiler
Even in the early 2000s this was a thing in some places. I remember working at a store that printed the full CC# on the customer's receipt. As an employee, it would've been ridiculously easy to steal credit card information. You could just print a second copy of the receipt after the customer left.
Not OP, but I would say there's two major causes for inflation at the moment.

One is the extended period of 0% fed rate coupled with ludicrous spending. Most of that happened under the previous administration and was largely bipartisan. This administration still has insanely low fed funds rate and is still spending like crazy. Please don't bother explaining how the federal reserve works, the buck stops at whoever appoints them and/or gives them power.

The second is continually escalating sanctions against one of the world's biggest energy and food exporters. This also started under the previous administration and was expanded during this administration. Again, bipartisan. The administration(s) paint pictures of oligarchs losing yachts when they talk about sanctions. They conspicuously neglect to mention food rationing in Spain, food riots in Peru and Sri Lanka, and the looming famine crisis when the crops that should be getting planted now don't get planted because there's no fertilizer. So in 3-8 months when those crops should be getting harvested, it's going to be bad and food inflation is going to be much worse and many, many poor people are going to starve.

There isn’t much nuance to trillions of dollars of fiscal stimulus and rampant inflation. It’s kind of economics 101.

Cross-Language Attacks
Do you maybe have an example? I'm always astounded how well the IMDB score matches how likeable a film is (minus personal preferences of course). 5 is basically always really bad unless I'm a fan of a specific actor/director/genre. The comments are mixed, the comments below the YouTube trailers tend to be quite on point though to see if a film is worth watching
You really don't think film critics being different from the general population has anything do with it? They're trained to see things in movies that most people don't. I get that you want people to say "selection bias" but that's not even close to the only significant factor at play here. You have two populations, which is also a classic statistical phenomenon. You even get close to this in your discussion of selection bias—they watch a lot more movies, and are thus more experienced—but you don't seem to want to allow this, which seems odd.

No, by your own words the paper describes how a US-military-funded report believed the US could provoke Russia into invading Ukraine. You still have to show that the US did in fact take those steps, and take them with the intent of causing Russia to invade.

Also note that the paper is from 2019. Russia's invasion of Crimea and Donbass was 2014. So Russia was perfectly capable of getting there without the US having to figure out how to "provoke" them.

> It's also possible for critics to have systematically different preferences than movie-goers that don't deserve to be described pejoratively as "out of touch" or "snobby."

When the person writing a review has "systematically different preferences" from the people they're writing for, "out of touch" is exactly the right description for that ("snobby" - not necessarily).
Excellent point. Critics have often remarked that movies about Hollywood tend to get Oscars just because of the subject matter, which Academy members like.

Also, a less cynical example: some movies are about something new: you might see people who live in a developing country, e.g., Somali fishermen in Captain Philips, or in unusual occupations (e.g., WWF wrestler in The Wrestler). Most audiences just want to relax and not learn something new, but critics love these kinds of movies.
No way, the whole point is to piss off the people who frequent those domains.
