I think "effective rebranding for marketing purposes of database technologies" alone justify all the fuss, business wise.

I'm working in gaming, and in pc gaming today, when you ask 5$ pretax and preplatform fee, customers think you own them to dedicate your entire company to support the product fot the next 10 years for no additional fee, you will never heard of 90% of your customers, 5% will insult you on your steam page for any trouble they encountered, 4% will insult you and your game on youtube and social media for entertainement and self promotion, and maybe 1% will have positive feedback.

Meanwhile with a good marketing, you can potentially sell low effort proceduraly generated random png 30$ to 3000$ piece in blockchain collection/games and each of your customer will probably actually spend time promoting your game even if he disliked it, if nothing to resell that it bought or earn interests.

Of course i'm greatly exaggerating, but no wonder gaming company dream to develop the market.

And I think video game market today is awfull. Every one want everything for free and no one want to actually pay. It's probaly a big part of why VR market is nearly empty : investing what is required to make good content is probably nearly impossible to recover on sales.

It need a way to reinvent itself and allow content maker to make profits, and it may be the blockchain where it's 'normal' to pay around 100$ to try a new game and be ready to see it fail more often than not.

The fact it's purely psychological is irrelevant marketing and business wise. I even think today the console market exist for purely commercial reasons. Console player accept to spend more on video game than computer players. Then developping for console make sense, even if probably today you could probably have exactly the same game on a same price range computer.
Wouldn't you have to trust the centralized authority?
> Why not? The US exports a lot a food and consumes a lot of food (per capita). If we were to cease exports and even some domestic production

To clarify, removing tariffs and agricultural subsidies might not affect our overall agricultural output much (I wouldn't want to make a prediction on that) but it would lower the cost of goods which were previously subsidized with taxes or tariffs.

> Not to mention if we become an importer because of this, we could outbid other nations and instigate famine in the poorer nations.

It's worth pointing out that almost all economists of all political leanings are opposed to agricultural subsidies (it's one of the rare political things economists agree on) and one of the commonly cited reasons is that buying food produced by third-world economies at a true market price would be a natural and valuable step in helping those countries develop and grow out of poverty. The number of powerful people (including people who would normally give lip service to free markets) who, when confronted by this consensus among economists, basically don't give a shit is... disheartening.
Emotional intelligence? In what way? Are there studies that are able to exclude societal effects that demonstrate these differences?

Show HN: ReddRecs – A better Reddit search engine for Menswear recommendations
Built this simple community search tool that basically allows people to search through thousands of past Reddit threads and tens of thousands of recommendations using tags. It mostly covers a few bigger subreddits like r/BIFL, r/MFA, r/AskMen, r/SkincareAddiction but along the way, I expanded it to include other smaller subreddits too. In addition to filtering by category, power users can also search by

-Body Fit (big thigh, long torso)
-Occupation (work in retail, teacher, doctor)
-Age (18-24, 25-35), Size (height, weight)
-Brand comparison (similar to: X)
-Use (suitable for wedding, everyday wear)
-Location (available in UK, use in Northeast US)
-Mood/Style (minimalist, vintage, retro)

It was expensive, but Dwedit's point is correct. The main competitor was the BBC Micro, the cheapest version of which cost £235 at launch, compared to £125 for the 16k Spectrum. Compared to the machines available from the big US names, these weren't as capable but were so much more accessible.
in practice, there's a difference between "our SREs and management promise to not change anything" and "it would cost x billion dollars to replace this record with a different one, based on previous attacks we've observed"
> You're wrong

Can I just say, on a rather unrelated note, that this just sounds very toxic and will trigger most people into "defense mode". I understand that "wrong" thoughts and opinions don't come out of nowhere, someone must have produced them, but it just reads so much nicer when the attack is explicitly targeting the opinion, and not the author.

In your other comments in this very thread you're using "Your comment goes in all directions...", "Your example is implemented in...". This is so much nicer! Thanks for going the extra mile! Let's keep the discussion going and reduce the chances of someone getting triggered and starting a flame war.
Good point, and a seeming paradox. But I'd suggest that it's mitigated by the clear preponderance of tech-savvy users on HN. Paywalls are flimsy, and can be circumvented pretty easily by people keen to get at the content. I often browse "active" on HN, and if a comment thread is interesting, but based on a paywalled article, I'll get around the paywall to read the article. Often, an HN commenter will have added a link to a non-paywalled version of said article anyway.

[Edit to add: Sometimes, though, I'm already a subscriber to the paywalled content. I'm not a complete leech.]
tl;dr: Nothing. But there are some big caveats to that.

Sure, we already have tons of currency transactions going on digitally and on-line, but Bitcoin offers something that the centralized entities cannot, and these are (in no particular order):

Unconfiscatable: Because nobody can take your bitcoins away from you unless you give away your keys.

Regulation resistant: Because nobody can stop you from trading or transacting with your bitcoins at any point if you own the keys. Bitcoin does not care about which borders it goes over, or the regulation therein. (But if you break the laws of your country by making illegal transactions, then you're of course taking a huge risk.)

Crime resistance: Granted, you can be coerced into giving up your keys, but then you have the option to flag your own account for all other parties. Since all transactions are public on the ledger, it will prevent criminal parties from using your funds with full anonymity, thus making them a lot easier to catch.

Relative privacy (but not 100% anonymity): Because nobody can really know who owns an address or a transaction unless they have access to special intel that they usually will only be privy to if they own a ton of third party hardware, software and skill (i.e. if they're operating for a totalitarian surveillance state). Or if you willingly give it up your anonymity to some central authority that promises to safekeep that information, which most buyers do, btw, which decreases regulation resistance while it increases crime resistance.

Corruption resistance: Honestly, if you want to commit crimes or corruption, then cash is a way better vessel for value, since all transactions with cash are near 100% anonymous (barring widespread bank note ID code control which is also limited), and there are several superior ways in which cash may be whitewashed if you have the infrastructure for it. Meanwhile it's surprisingly hard to whitewash Bitcoin given that all transactions are public.

I might even have missed a few value propositions, but those are the most important.

> and even today, actually using BTC for non-investment purposes is a tiny minority

This is increasingly untrue. Take the countries now adopting Bitcoin as legal tender (with the Lightning Network), for example, and the many stories of people using it to make bigger purchases.
The traditional answer was to use a BASIC dialect. Minimal syntax, minimal structure, simple imperative commands. A lot simpler than Pascal. I don’t know TCL very well, but its scope semantics may be confusing. I’d take a look at LOGO also.
> They also had existing foreign currency reserves

Over half of those are frozen due to sanctions, but even the rest is hard to use, because any transaction may be blocked out of abundance of zeal.

That's why capital controls are used to keep the official rate at pre-war level. Aside from restrictions on selling the ruble, Russian state forces all businesses that are paid in foreign currencies to immediately sell 70%. This increases the demand for ruble.
When "privacy and security" are listed among features, and they are not there, it's not feature complete ;)
These are the kinds of opinions people use to try and radicalize others. In the end, this only serves to reinforce an 'us vs them' perspective on anything someone loud enough signals as important. The texture of nuance is sanded down until there is only Right and Wrong. Now, whoever doesn't hold each of the same endorsed partisan beliefs is the Enemy.
No, you're quite right - this is great news!

Politicians really are executing the will of the people! They're not simply passing legislation that justifies unacceptable invasion of privacy and sanctions the mining of the individual's information.

phew!
I think wave collapse could work with a PCB that already has the components placed on it. So only routing remains. Essentially you divide the PCB up into small discrete chunks and either fill that with copper or not. You start at every component pin and fill in the copper. Then you pick edges of where copper is filled in and either fill in or not. Repeat this process and backtrack when you violate a electrical rule. Either this process finishes with a valid routing or won't find a route.

With an SMT solver you could specify similar constraints.

AVX-512 in consumer chips was not new to Alder Lake, though; the previous generation did support it without any workarounds (there were no E-cores to disable to begin with). Intel may have changed course regarding AVX-512 but I wouldn't be so sure about the reasons.

I really like Roku. I've got as much tracking stuff turned off in the options as possible and I know there's a way to pi-hole telemetry and ads if you want. Although the ads I see are just single poster-style ads for various shows or Roku streaming channels on the home menu. I like being able to browse easily with a remote but also having the option of casting something to the TV from my phone either through the Chromecast button or airplay.

>> "Large online platforms like Facebook will have to make the working of their recommender algorithms (e.g. used for sorting content on the News Feed or suggesting TV shows on Netflix) transparent to users. Users should also be offered a recommender system “not based on profiling.”"

Both of those seem like good ideas and progress. The non-profiled recommender system option especially!

It's also really bothered me that tech companies of sufficient size can discriminate against legally-protected classes because "algorithms are complicated" and government regulators haven't pushed.

I'm not a fan of regulating design or use, but I'm a huge proponent of requiring transparency and detail on demand.

We'll see how willing the EU is to levy fines for breaches.

It's no doubt a consequence of most huge tech companies being American, but it's been refreshing to see the repeated "We have a law; You clearly broke it; Here's your fine" follow-through thus far from EU enforcement.

> Also, consider all the potentially great films that never got made because even the best filmmakers can only get a fraction of their ideas actually produced.

and that's a good thing.

Consider how many bad movies were not made thanks to this!

IMO, content creation should be harder, not easier.

If it becomes too easy, the quality goes toward hobbyist level, which is not what I want to pay for.

Also, bad content was a thing on its own, take for example Troma films, they are entertainingly bad, not just repetitive and dull bad.

> Or the problem of finding something satisfying to watch out literally tens of thousands of shows on Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, Disney+, HBO Max, AppleTV+, etc?

the problem is exactly the mass amount of content created to lure people in.

But do I really want to watch another iteration of the superhero trope?

No, I don't.

I wanna watch something that I've never seen before.

Imagine a book written to mimic the style of my favourite writers on my favourite topic: Sci-fi.

On paper it sounds like a dream, but in reality it would be a terrible, confusing, incoherent and ultimately a trying-too-hard-to-match-my-taste product.

Like when Data reads his poems on TNG and when asked why people seemed distracted, Laforge answers "Well, your poems were clever, Data, and your Haiku was clever, and your sonnet was clever. But did it evoke an emotional response? To be honest, no"

Of course Data being Data, he knows he's clever and he knows he's an amateur poet and wants to hear the truth about his works.

But do we want to pay for content generated by the machines so that they can learn to imitate us better? [1]

I sincerely don't want to.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Paradox_of_Choice

EDIT: with [1] I mean that I don't want to pay streaming content publishers to improve their algorithm so that they can mass produce more dull content for people to consume (and pay)

If they really want to improve things, they should pay people to make less shows and/or movies but better.

Shows like "Another life" (6% on Rotten Tomatoes) would not exist if they were shot on real sets that take time, money, permits and a lot people to recreate.
An important design goal for the POSIX shell version of the RVM is to depend on the fewest external tools possible. Each dependency brings with it a portability risk because unix tools can be subtly different between environments (for example macOS vs linux, and even between linuxes, and even between versions of the same distribution of linux).

So the core of the RVM has no dependencies with external tools (i.e. it is in "pure" shell script). The only dependencies are for I/O, namely for the "putchar" RVM primitive and the "getchar" RVM primitive (both of which do byte-at-a-time binary I/O on stdin and stdout). For putchar the shell "printf" (which is usually builtin) command is used, specifically

printf \\$((byte/64))$((byte/8%8))$((byte%8))

For getchar is is not possible to use the shell "read" command because it does not handle null bytes on stdin (and we want Ribbit to support binary I/O). This is admittedly somewhat of an artificial constraint given that Ribbit will probably be mostly used for text processing, like to write compilers that map source code text to target code text. So getchar is implemented with

set `sed q | od -v -A n -t u1`

and then the next byte on stdin is available using $1 and "shift" is used to move to the next byte. The call to sed is to read each line separately (useful to implement a REPL where you enter a command which is executed before having to enter the next command). Both "sed" and "od" are standard unix tools. Moreover we checked that those set of options have existed for a long time (at least the early 1990's). It would be interesting to test many POSIX shells to verify Ribbit's portability (we used bash, dash, zsh and ksh for our testing).

The low performance of the POSIX shell RVM is due to two things. First, the shell's interpreter is not fast. The simple loop

n=10000000; while [ $n -gt 0 ]; do n=$((n-1)); done

runs about 5000 times slower with bash than the equivalent JavaScript code run with nodejs, which is implemented with a JIT. Secondly, the POSIX shell does not have arrays so it is necessary to use the shell "eval" command to do indexing. For example a[i]=0 becomes

eval a$i=0

As you can imagine the RVM implementation uses arrays all over the place for implementing access to the RVM's stack and Scheme objects (both of which are implemented using a garbage collected heap, which is conceptually an array of 3 field records and implemented in the shell as 3 "arrays").

The POSIX shell version of Ribbit was designed to be as portable as possible, only relying on a POSIX shell to run Scheme code. This can be useful in a context where you only have a POSIX shell at hand and you want to bootstrap a more efficient set of development tools (C compiler, editor, etc) and you don't mind waiting a day or two for the build to complete. It is also useful when you want a reproducible build pipeline and the only tool you trust is the shell.
To create specific people and spatiotemporal consistent content, we would use conditional image generation where we condition on both the text and some seed vector, and proceed autoregressively. If we wanted a random person, we would use a random seed vector. If we wanted a specific person, we would use 3D GAN Inversion to find the seed vector which would give us the person in a provided query image. We would also likely condition the latent space so we could retarget facial expressions from one person to another by manipulating the differences between latent codes.
Despite all the hype. Very few people use Crypto. It doesn't matter if it's "just" 0.1% what matters is how much do all the banking and credit card systems in the world consume by comparison. I would bet it's less than that.

So it's not tenable as a currency.

It's also not very valuable as a commodity since it fluctuates too much and has no intrinsic value.

It has no value to "disconnect from the banks/government" since you need to convert it to "real currency" for usage.

There's the claim that green is possible with Crypto but I don't see how. Without turning it into a centralized system. The wastefulness is the system designed to discourage bad actors from taking over. Without it, what will stop the hacks? (not that it helps with all the robberies anyway).
If I replace "blockchain" with "Paxos" in this post, I get almost the same message. Blockchains may have uses, but it certainly isn't this.
> "I asked people in code/design reviews to rename white/black lists to allow/deny lists"

Odd thing to do. "Black" is synonymous with darkness, hidden, off, empty space, and things of that nature. For this reason "blacklist" works. There is no clash with people, or any disrespect.

Politically correct OCD invents problems. Then dictate to others how they should solve those problems. Add penalties for those who don't follow the prescribed solutions to invented problems, and we find ourselves in 2022 looking at Google's efforts to solve the invented problems.

The author of the Vice article states that by removing master/slave and black/whitelist, it "addresses years of habitual bias in tech terminology".

Accusations of bias are just accusations. We can't "find" bias on the grounds of matching words in technical contexts to the same words in other contexts.

In the S&M world, the context is not actual master and slave, it's a new context that encompasses consent and good times. Likewise, the technical context is not one that involves people, but machines communicating under specific rules which "master/slave" adequately describes.
ahh me too ... between ages 10-14 in the 80s I would spend my way back from school looking for magazines with schematics, then on saturday mornings I will bike to the local component shop and spend my money there, back home the rest of saturday and sunday went by soldering boards, building amplifiers, alarms, thermometers, regulated powersupply units, radio transmiters, random LED arrangements and what not ... ah, and also exploding capacitors

One can say that the exclusion of politics from HN is itself politics.

Likewise the debate in the comments herein is a manifestation of politics. Is technology entrepreneurship and science better served by having a politics-free zone, like the Olympics? Or is society worse served by having a class of people and an industry operate as if politics is orthogonal to it, as if the whole nature of the enterprise isn't built upon a particular political ethos and system that sustains its current incarnation, possibly at the expense of other classes of people or society as a whole?

Is HN the Galt's Gulch of the social media world, where techies can withdraw from the rest of society because they can?
There is also something about "fast-neutron"/"slow-neutron" (I don't recall which one) capture based fission reactors which could give a purpose to a significant part of nuclear waste.
If I understood not too badly (but I expect to be very wrong), only China and Russia have such nuclear reactors. In my country, the public research project was cancelled without being able to do the same than China and Russia. I heard that with such reactors, it extends by hundreds of years, if not thousands, the ability of fission reactors to produce "enough" energy, that based on current fuel reserve estimation.

ofc, reducing energy consumption (= reduce worldwide population, reduce heating/AC, stop commuting ...) and switching as much as possible to "stored" "renewable" energy should always be a primary focus (even if nuclear fusion becomes real).

wow, so many "if" and "I don't really know". :(
