Your left is my right, and with you definition “get laid” is a task from the point of view of evolution and a goal from the point of view of an organism.

It’s in much the same vein that it doesn’t matter if submarines “swim”, they still move through water under their own power; and it doesn’t matter if your definition of “sound” is the subjective experience or the pressure waves, a tree falling in a forest with nobody around to hear it will still make the air move.

If AI do or don’t have any subjective experience comparable to “consciousness” or “desire” is also useful to know, and in the absence of a dualistic soul it must in principle be as possible for a machine as for a human (“neither has that” is a logically acceptable answer), but I don’t even know if philosophy is advanced enough to suggest an actionable test for that at this point.

(That said, AI research does use the term “goal” for things the researchers want their AI to do. Domain specific use of words isn’t necessarily what outsiders want or expect the words to mean, as e.g. I frequently find when trying to ask physics questions).
The biggest win for me to use ngn/k is the built-in documentation. K is primarily taught through refcards, and most K refcards that you find in implementations are quite compact, like this: https://kparc.com/k.txt

While refcards like this are perfectly fine, they can confuse beginners at specific parts in the text. This is where ngn/k shines. It has a robust documentation system, containing several help commands for multiple subjects (types, verbs, adverbs, etc.). They also contain examples, have clear separation between subjects, and are way less ambiguous.
They flock in noisy gangs and hassle the other birds; when you have a bunch of them in the trees outside your house, you know about it. London seems to have developed a grudging affection for the noisy bleeders though.
> Most printers will do their own rendering, it's not often that a text document gets pre-rendered by the OS.

Without surveying the industry, I doubt that's accurate. Most inexpensive home printers sold to purchasers of Windows PCs are GDI printers. Part of the cost savings associated with those comes from using the PC to render the document.

Show HN: React Routing in 120 lines (including comments)
The author's model doesn't really say that Reykjavik is a good option. From my understanding, the graph shows the cities which have less variation than all cities colder than them.
Fair point, but I don't like to claim that it works on a platform I haven't tested it on. The only dependencies are SDL2 (which implies OpenGL), SDL2_ttf and SDL2_net so assuming they are available for the platform in question it should run.
I'm here for about 1-2 years now and I don't really get the feeling of HN being a small community.

The UI really makes it feel comfortable spending time here, because it's not overloaded. Maybe that's why it doesn't feel that big (and chaotic) here. I'd love to see actual data of usage though. That'd be interesting.
If sustainability is more important, eating at least fish too is bound to be better. There's no way leaving 71% of the surface of the planet off-limits for nutrients isn't going to increase pressure on the other 29%.

And yes, much fishing and aquaculture is presently unsustainable, but that can be said about agriculture too. It's not nearly an adequate argument for abandoning it entirely.

The argument for full veganism has to be that animals are people. Sustainability arguments won't cut it. If animals aren't people, you never get to full veganism, and if animals are people the sustainability argument is redundant anyway.
This - draw out a list of everything you have done, then for each job you go for pull out the things that are most relevant. Even the farming might be relevant for budgeting, supplier management, time management etc.

But build up the list of things you want to talk about and are proud of, and keep your responses to them. No need to talk about the other stuff.

> On papers with fewer authors, there's a kind of ranking system in the order of the authors

It depends very much on the field of research and the paper in question. In some fields, it's very common to list the names of the authors alphabetically, no matter the size of their contribution.
> Wikipedia is an example of a large community that has not become ruined

there's an awful amount of moderation in wikipedia though. With enough moderation, you can control the community. And tbh, wikipedia has two disjointed groups - the editors and the viewers. The editors are moderated heavily, but not the viewers, since they are not contributing. Therefore, even if the viewers are large, they don't contribute to the editor's community.
Any evidence for this suggestion? Most Americans view of Norway is completely wrong, and formed by misleading propaganda on social media/Reddit.
I agree. HackerNews as a whole lacks vision.
Completely non-ironically - 1981/1982 was an incredibly fertile period for music in the UK at least.
I even have the browser and code on the monitor at the same time. And with pretty much all modern web frameworks you have a dev server that automatically does hot module replacement, so you instantly see your changes without reloading anything yourself.
> major NATO naval powers (US, UK, France) were never likely to send ships near Ukraine

Not only they were likely, they actually did that in 2020 and 2021, as a part of joint war games with Ukraine. According to what I read, some 30 ships participated.
> What does intrigue me is how they managed to determine the graphics card.

Cheap GDI printers use the PC for rendering. I find it a bit surprising that would give enough to identify a specific card from a printed sample, but it certainly seems plausible.
All funding provided by a crowd funding campaign...
That's a fair assumption - thank you for answering! (You might want to add that this is a list of platforms that you have tested on and can attest for yourself, and that your code might work elsewhere as well but you provide no guarantees for that.)
Are there any on-chain transactions that confirm at least 1% of those claims?
India needs two decades of such high growth to catch up to today's China/US. It's a long road but certainly possible. And then they also need to ensure development actually lifts everyone and not the elite few which has historically been a problem due to the country's caste system. Also given India has missed the manufacturing train, it's not going to be easy giving jobs to the mind boggling 1 billion people workforce.
Hey, well done for getting something functional working and in the public eye.

> I made this because building UIs in a lexical medium like code is super annoying. I have to pre-render what I’m making in my head

I'd call the pre-rendering in your head a benefit, tbh. Also.. watching your vid, the property editor being "far away" from the selected item renders this tool much less useful to me than writing code. My eyesight's bad, so I can't keep the editor and the selected object in focus at the same time. The head & eye switching is probably more annoying to someone in my position than switching apps because at least I know I'm changing context when I switch apps (although I admit, I've put up with that for 20 years so perhaps I just don't notice).

> I was inspired by the developer console in chrome and safari since I end up editing css there because it’s ironically more convenient.

Conversely, I agree with this entirely. I don't like having to bob my head around the screen when I edit CSS in the browser, but it's still MUCH faster and intuitive than doing it in a separate code editor. I strongly dislike Tailwind and similar tools because they prevent this kind of coding/debugging. A similar tool got shown here on HN recently, and the conversation circled the idea that a visual tool to edit CSS is a) so handy but b) really hard to build because it's not programmatically obvious which file to make updates too... it's still easier to keep the file hierarchy in your head (even though that's quite hard). I guess focusing on React components lets you assume the CSS is "beside" the given component.
The digital infrastructure built by the Indian government in the last few years has been unparalleled. Bank accounts, UPI, and direct benefits transfer - these have been the bedrock on which this growth is being seen, and finally acknowledged.

Plus, with huge investments coming in in semiconductors and electronics manufacturing, India also seems to be on the cusp of a manufacturing growth spurt.
All good points, thanks.

I guess food history is murky and complicated, even for semi-modern things like this. :)

I don't know remotely enough about Indian food to measure the degree of innovation in tikka masala, I'm afraid.
> For example, in a meeting you're made aware that engineer X is working on Y, you have prior experience in Y. Immediate win. Does this happen 100% of the time? Of course not, but there's a probability it will.

How high does that probability have to be before it is a net gain?

Look at a realistic and common case: eight devs in a 30m standup.

That's four hours used up. Maybe once or twice a month one of those devs gets something out of the standup that they would not have gotten otherwise.

You're spending 80 hours of dev time per month for a payoff (at most) twice a month.

Is it worth it?
I would throw in a a spanner here, with snap chat, it technically did become more mainstream, but it has always tried to be a "niche" platform.

I built a search engine for sales taxes in Canada. Just type in a product or service and it would tell you whether it was taxed, and what that tax was (HST, PST, GST, zero-rated etc). It was a huge endeavour. I had an investor. I hired a half dozen data-entry people to input items. I personally went up and down the aisles of Walmart documenting every item on the shelves. I used Amazon.com product hierarchy to categorize the entries.

I worked night and day for three and a half months. I would literally collapse on the floor with exhaustion and be unable to move.

When I think about it now I marvel at the gargantuan scope of the project and my unrelenting drive to finish it. It was probably the most ambitious undertaking of my life.

And when it was finished - 12,000 easily searchable items and their sales tax for each of the 10 provinces and three territories - NO ONE CARED. People on reddit mocked the idea. I pitched it to an incubator and they shrugged indifferently. A few months later I repaid the investor (I didn't want him losing money because of my shortsightedness). Eventually the site was taken down, although I wish now I didn't.

You mean climate.
Mine has both and it is from 2021. Removing the ability to expand your phones storage locally is just a way to justify the cost structure Apple and others created around "more storage = more cost".

When you can add 128GB via a card slot for $30 but Apple charge you many multiples of that to get the same as embedded storage it just looks stupid.

It is also to get you to pay for iCloud when you run out of space on the cheaper iPhones.

All my other electronic devices have a audio jack and it works perfectly fine, so why not a phone? Analog headphones are also cheaper and guaranteed to work so avoid the vendor lock-in and licensing scams Apple and others try to set up.

I can also (shock) charge my phone AND have headphones connected without a stupid dongle.

Floppy disks were worse in every way than a USB stick or CD.

The headphone jack and SDcard slot are always a benefit (to the consumer at least, not to Apple/Google trying to sell you Cloud storage and overpriced accessories).

If python can get a trivial 4x speedup by replacing a for loop with a threadpool.map, then that is worth it to many python programmers.

Just because python isn't the fastest language in the world, does not mean that making it easier / possible to write faster python is worthless.
No, the parent comment is probably referring to obnoxious people with MBAs from Minnesota or wherever who move to LA or SF and complain on the internet about how it’s “like living in a third world country” after 6 months
oh man this is why i read HN; i had no idea that this existed-- somehow-- and am the kind of person that runs ethernet cables all over the house rather than compromise in any way (powerline SUCKS ASS); and also i happen to currently live in a house with 1.2 trillion coax jacks, but no cat5/6 wiring to speak of, so this seems like it completely solves my problem in the best possible way. i don't know if i could possibly be more excited than this (i wish i were kidding more than i am).

yeah, sure, if i got a bunch of really fancy wireless equipment, that could probably swing it too, but would also require getting new WiFi cards to actually be able to take advantage.

I’m not sure what’s causing it, but I just can’t get a DualShock 4 to sync reliably. Or the WH1000MX3 from my partner. And with the Jabra headphones I had for work, I always had to use their dongle because it would never sync reliably.

I’m intentionally already using https://ark.intel.com/content/www/de/de/ark/products/189347/... as WiFi/Bluetooth card on all my computers, but I still can’t get anything to sync reliably.

In the end I just gave up and now I use the dualshock 4 with cables. And for headphones, I’ll continue using my wired sennheisers from 2008 (I checked and updated the year in the previous post as well).

The Dualshock 4 gets about a minute at best before I get suddenly random input from it and it stops working. That’s with a genuine Sony DS4, second version.

I actually still use wireless mice, but only the ones with custom dongles.
Oh, it says so in the Wikipedia. It certainly must be true!

Although it this case, it is not even true that the Wikipedia actually says that. Did you even read the article or are you just here to troll? Did I accidentally wander into reddit by mistake?

[The Wikipedia recounts several different versions of the urban legend. Three different sources with three different versions one where the chef was Bangladeshi, one where the chef was Indian, and another where the chef was Pakistani.]

> "can you give the bear a red cap"

That's exactly what DALL·E2 is already capable of. You can paint over a region of the image and tell it what you want in that area:

https://youtu.be/qTgPSKKjfVg?t=77

You can even use this in-painting ability to enlarge images. For example you can feed it this:

https://preview.redd.it/z7y2tbwjtny81.jpg?width=680&auto=web...

And turn it into this:

https://i.imgur.com/Zp4MWXX.jpg

And also worth mentioning that each of those iteration only takes like 10sec, not days or weeks as with a real artist.

The one thing DALL·E2 is however missing is being specific, you can tell it to draw SuperMario and it will come up with something that looks like somewhat like SuperMario, but it is taking a lot of creative freedom along the way. As far as I can tell, it isn't able to draw the same character in different situations. Every image is unique and there is so far no way to coax it into drawing a series of multiple images that are consistent with each other, as you would need to illustrate a short story for example. Best example I have seen so far is this, but even that remains very abstract:

>I didn't see the OP advocating for censorship, but for the enablement of moderation for unacceptable content within a community.

This is the same thing. Facilitating and encouraging the use of moderation policies which prohibit speech of users is censorship. I've often found that Americans confused "censorship" with "violating the Constitution." Most of us are not given Constitution protections because we don't live in America. Further, the Constitution only covers some kinds of free speech, not all. Censorship is much more broad than the Constitution, and covers private companies censoring citizens.
If the components are headless. Otherwise it makes more sense to do it the other way around. Designers write components that just render stuff, which then gets wired up by devs to be state/effectful.
Is it via class or functional components ?

Keep up the good work - maybe jetbrains will buy / fund you!
I think that statement shows massive bias. There are massive differences between the two countries, but neither are beacons of freedom and human rights.

China has no elections at all, Russia has elections, but they're not remotely fair; any credible opposition tends to have "accidents". In both countries, criticism of the leader will be punished, though in different ways.

Neither has freedom of speech or a free press. It's much more structural in China, but in Russia you can still go to prison for years simply for calling the war a war. Any attempt at independent media gets harassed in various ways.

The main difference is in corruption and rule of law: Russia is pretty much entirely a mafia state now. Any assets you have are easily stolen by someone with better connections. Any of those rich oligarchs (who generally got wealthy through corruption and connections) who speaks out against Putin, is likely to lose what they have. In China, investments are safer, because China wants to attract business. And China does make real effort to fight corruption.

China's oppression of the Uyghurs is well documented, and is a process to destroy Uyghurs as a people: a form of genocide. I don't think Russia is doing anything remotely like that domestically, but both Putin and Russian state media do argue in various ways for genocide against Ukrainians.

China is a dictatorship through rule of law; they officially deny people their rights, but at least you know what to expect. Russia is a dictatorship through extreme corruption; you might nominally have rights, but you're likely to get an "accident" if you try to exercise those rights.

Russia is (obviously) far more aggressive and expansionist. China is more interested in soft power, expanding their economy, and influencing other countries through their economic expansion; much more in line with how the EU works, for example.

But no matter how you turn it, both really hate modern liberal values like democracy, free speech, free press, and don't care much for human and civil rights.

And sure, the US has a flawed democracy and has had its share of civil and human rights violations, some of which have still not been prosecuted (Guantanamo Bay), but at least nominally they do care about those issues, many of the people care about those issues, and demand improvement on those issues. Admittedly, there's also a very vocal minority that seems to prefer turning the US into an authoritarian dictatorship (more likely Russian-style and China-style), but they're a minority and they failed at their coup.

Like I said, the US is far from perfect, but if the EU needs an ally, the US is still the only real choice. The EU should probably learn to stand on its own feet and become more independent from the US, but it should not be naive about Russia and China (which it absolutely has been).

The underlying causes of the problem are both mathematical and human. While the mathematical causes are reasonably well understood by experts, I think the book Sapiens covers the human factors quite well.

A tidbit from the book is that humans works well in a tribe size of ~150 and anything larger requires a cohesive belief system that ties tribes together. According to the author, examples of such belief systems are religions and corporations. The author goes much deeper and no part of the book was boring. I highly recommend reading the book, it's a much more distilled version of the comment section.
