> I now subscribe to the WSJ. That way I can get the business and financial news I'm interested in by people who are educated in business and finance, rather than activism.

I don't think that's a fair characterization of NYT. I'm curious if you're putting NYT's reporting and NYT's op-eds into the same bucket.

> I let my NYT subscription lapse because their articles were clearly pushing an agenda rather than reporting the news.

There aren't many large publications that publish w/o an angle, whether that effort is in the name of truthiness or personal gain is difficult to discern.

In my opinion, the only solution to the 'getting unbiased news consistently' problem is solved with news aggregations. Looking at the diff between the major publications on any specific story may not reveal which angle/agenda is the most true, but it will reveal the variables that are being used to steer the ship.

And the level of actual integration of various services varies a lot (I mean, you expect things like IAM to be included if it's AWS service, right? Lol nope) plus then there's stuff that will be documented with something like one paragraph in docs and highly paid support engineers will never find anything internal about it, so you end up building a complete SSO solution for AWS from scratch...
The Swiss Franc has traditionally been a strong currency. Probably the world's strongest.

The CHF has gained steadily on the EUR since the pandemic and is up about 10% since a year ago. That alone is going to offset a lot of the inflation.

"How can you be sure what the Amazon exec stated in a Reuters article last year is accurate?"

You can't. That's why the article says "An Amazon executive told Reuters in late 2021 that the company was bumping the average starting wage for new hires in the US to more than $18 an hour" - rather than stating as fact that "in 2021 the company bumped the average starting wage...".

JS/TS dev here. I tend to stick with a nullable boolean. For me, "no value" is usually pretty equivalent with "null" in general, and the data type I choose to use depends only on the non-null possibilities.
They were likely told to stop participating in discussions around the letter and then they didn’t. The verge article mentioned there were huge internal discussion threads.
You might get some inspiration from Bret Victor’s videos/demos: http://worrydream.com/

Personally I do not remember ever having the experience you describe, but that’s probably because in my formative years videos mostly didn’t exist yet on the internet, and I learned new tools from reading books, software documentation, forums and blog posts. And once you’ve reached a certain experience level, it becomes much more difficult to get your mind blown by some new tool, because the ideas usually have all been there in some form already, and you also see the limitations and possible drawbacks more quickly.
Unsolicited blasting of the email, letter, and surveys to thousands of employees is the digital equivalent to "incoherently yelling in all places at all times."

Neither does nuclear. 80% of the population of the exclusion zone in Fukushima prefecture have already returned to their homes. People can even move back to Futaba, a town next to the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant.

Nuclear power produces cheap, emission-free and reliable electricity. It's as safe as wind power and it's life-cycle emissions are even less.

I don’t think an execs at a megacorp are all that qualified anyway lol. An accountant can be equally qualified to put stuff up to auction or assess risk.

Second, they aren’t insuring only. In fact, they are typically liquidating. I think that’s part of the issue, it’s not a regulator body or an insurance body. It’s a liquidator that works, in part, at the behest of big banks and politicians.
Your argument has no relevance to the comment you are responding to as the point being made was it is human nature for (some) people to get complacent regardless of the circumstances.
Yeah, my first thought when I read the headline was “Oh shit, have Amazon figured out they can’t treat people like shit and not run out of people willing to work for them?”

Hopefully it will lead to better treatment of those they can employ.
Ahh, I see now what you mean. Thanks, that makes much more sense to me now.

Hey cool, are you me?

26 years old with a father with Asperger's (with the anger issues and emotional non-understanding that comes with it), an over-bearing mother who sheltered me from pretty much everything crippling my social and personal skills growing up preventing me from getting help when I needed it - now I'm playing perpetual catch-up with both my personal life (social/romantic relationships), and the untreated mental problems I've been suffering from - I'm finally realizing the problems I've been beating myself up about through my whole life are not really my fault and I should have gotten help with my issues much much earlier.

I can only wonder what life would have been like if I would have stood up for myself much earlier and gotten the help I need - despite the repeated claims from both parents that I'd ruin the family and rip everybody apart if I did try to get help.

> all those internet cables you've got laying around are Ethernet, developed by Xerox.

Anything you're using today is probably not the version invented by Xerox. If one were to name any single inventor it would probably have been someone at SynOptics. Eventually it all became standardized, but by that point the only similarity to the original Xerox technology was the name. You probably knew all that, at some level, but it's important for us to teach the young 'uns a correct version of history that gives credit where due.

I'm not going to excuse the church, but this was actually the civil punishment. The church just declared you an apostate or not, and civil authorities would punish you (BTW, most European countries still have similar laws with just lesser punishments and no church involvement...

There is a really compelling reason on iOS: saving screen real estate. And the top-hidden search bar is convention now, just like the pull-to-refresh gesture. Discoverability is an issue though, I agree. But unnecessarily hidden? Disagree.

The problem is that for high-speed trains you're limited in how small you can make the wheels (that is, even more limited than with other trains – even urban railways with more modest top speeds need a floor height of approximately 0.9 - 1.0 m for level boarding without having to compromise on the number and location of doors, though with some compromises you can nowadays get down to roughly 0.6 m), and with conventional bogies (and both wheels linked by a fixed axle, which is you how you classically get the wheels to self-steer themselves around curves) it means you need a floor height > 1.1 m for a level interior and level boarding.

Conversely for historical reasons however in Germany 0.76 m is the highest platform height that doesn't conflict with the loading gauge of "regular" exceptional loads on freight trains (on a very few selected routes intended for the transport of extra large transformators and similar loads actually anything higher than 0.55 m already causes problems).

If you're building a pure high-speed network from scratch without any compatibility constraints (like Japan did with the Shinkansen) you can just choose a platform height of something around 1.1 – 1.25 m and be done with it, but if you're starting with an incrementally upgraded mixed-traffic network as is more common in Europe, you now have a problem…

(Talgo sidesteps this problem because of the unconventional bogie design, where the two wheels aren't linked by a fixed axle and steering is assured by the interaction of neighbouring carriages instead, so even with a lower floor height the floor can simply pass between the wheels without necessitating any steps.)
What part of the title is misleading? the HN title fixes simply removes some inaccurate language from the original article.
In the article, it says the it's a full-scale prototype. Still agree the title is overstating it, especially since they explicitly say the design cannot be used for an airliner.
Yet, solar does not produce electricity reliably, needs additional electric backup power and uses large amounts of material and area for producing relatively small amounts of energy.

This project uses one-way translation of Rust code into WhyML through Creusot. This translation is not formally guaranteed to be correct or semantics-preserving.

Ideally, the code produced by Creusot should be translated back to Rust by a tool from Creusot or someone else. This way it is possible to use fixed point iteration, just like AST pretty-printer and parser for programming language syntax.

This is more or less an approach taken by verification team of Buran (USSR's space shuttle) software. They took Fortran code and compiled it into executable code. The executable code was then manually translated back into Fortran and discrepancies analyzed. This way they found several errors in Fortran compiler. Buran made fully automatic landing in late 80-s.

Contemporary verifiers should do the same automatically.
What's wrong with the title? The original title is: "US prison workers produce $11B worth of goods and services for ‘little to no pay at all’". I'm not sure if the part of the title they left out misleads the reader.

There's no contradiction between desiring free speech in the public sphere - which is what Musk claims he wants - and not wanting to associate yourself with people who support certain speech, which is what Musk has done.

The comment I replied to before is a non sequitur, this doesn't mean what Musk is doing is right, simply that mindlessly upvoting a Trump-rally-tier argument is not conducive to anything good.

Eventually HN will become reddit and we'll just upvote "our side", regardless of whether the argument has merit.

There is a real problem where as humans we are really only looking for 'alien intelligence' that we can interact with.

We would have a hard time identifying a solar plasma based entity that had reaction times in years.

But redefining 'intelligence' to include all complex processes is not useful. I don't care if a storm in a gas giant is just as complex as a chimpanzee's thought processes.

A rabbit is intelligent compared to an ant, but we wouldn't consider discovering aliens at that level of intelligence relevant to us.

What we are looking for is near-peer intelligent life. Meaning about as intelligent as humans at timescales competitive to human cognition.
Which is why correcting that harmful, false narrative is critical
Did you misinterpret the article? Before the section with the imaginary gods, it clearly reads:

> The Gods illustrated below are imaginary. These made-up illustrations show how symbols and attributes in real Aztec iconography were composed to depict a God’s domain, abilities and needs.

The mentions of the real Aztec gods (Tlaltecuhtli and on) do not suggest that they are imaginary.

It's simpler than that, it is all about incentives. Science can happen even in the trenches of war, or by random employees in a patent office. Engineering needs resources and conerted efford. But when the incentives have nothing to do with science itself but rather with the struggle to keep all the PhD people employed, you end up with paper-mills and grant-harvester PIs. There s also a degeneration of the science culture due to so much self-promotion. Whatever happened to humility?

Engineering projects like Apollo or Manhattan succeded by taking the theory invented by a few madmen and making the entire effort to the end product. Instead we now have projects like the Human brain project (EU) and the Brain initiative that don't seem to have a defined goal, and no clear incentives. The HBP used to be about building an artificial brain, as ambitious as it sounds. Instead, petty politics and meddling led to the project becoming a project salad with very little to show. AFAIK the Brain initiative has not done better.

The article itself is another example of weak incentives. We don't need to invent another field called "progress studies" in order to make progress. That's only making the problem worse.
Only tangentially related, but some months back Amazon added an animation to make their user icon wave at you on page load and it makes me grimace every time. Given that I use Amazon begrudgingly while hating the company and what it stands for it feels like it's mocking me.
The main issue here is that this doesn't really work for anything but horizontal scrolling. The code I explained works for all directions. One of the games I coded was an 8-way scroller. Another had horizontal sections seamlessly connected to diagonal sections.

Granted I didn't show different version of moving the data through the splat code, for different directions, I only showed a single direction. And I now realise that multi-direction was not mentioned in my OP. Which is most likely why we seem to be talking at odds with one another somewhat here.

The code I showed works for all of these cases (8-way, horizontal-diagonal transitions, pure horizontal or vertical) — sure, one needs extra variations on the actual scroll code, but not the splat code — plus it is easier to reason about, quicker to develop, and doesn't impose artificial constraints on the graphics/map/tile-usage — which means the graphics won't take as many iterations to get right (you can bet the artist will make mistakes in the map, 100% guaranteed — cos without also modifying the tooling to account for all of this, that's what artists always do. Speaking from experience!).

> The only constraint on the artist to do this would be to set a "budget" for transitions to make sure there's always enough repetition to make it worthwhile, but it's certainly doable.

Even for a single-way scroller, it's quite hard to tell if the benefits you claim here really outweigh all of the costs involved (not just CPU costs - but dev time, map design time, adjustments to tooling, etc). IDK if it'd get the go ahead in any of the places I've worked, without a fully working demo.

But yes, sure, your idea may well be more optimal at runtime, for single direction scrollers. But I don't see how it would / could work for all scroll directions. And the additional constraints would likely give the artists nightmares! ;)

And, as you say, worst case is still gonna be ~25% slower.

The biggest problem that one is trying to overcome here is the additional hit to CPU budget every n-frames (usually 8), when the color RAM update is needed. Having something that might, under certain conditions, be slower, could be problematic. Whereas having something that is constant time is, perhaps arguably, always going to be easier to deal with.

But thanks for taking the time to explain. I kinda thought that that's what you were implying.

Apologies I hadn't been clear that the code I showed (immediate load-stores) was a colour RAM splat technique that was applicable to scrolling in any direction. It's kind of a key point really, and I see I completely omitted it :/ I thought it was mentioned, but I now see that the 8-way scrolling conversation was a slightly different thread.
I'm done worrying. I withdrew everything and closed my account. Crypto is a fools errand.
Here's a tactic I've taken with android phones for the last 7 years and it's been a huge help.

Turn on developer options on the phone (you find the OS build info in the settings and tap it something like 8 times).

Go into the new developer menu and go to the drawing section.

Set the following 3 items to 0.5

Window animation scale, Transition animation scale, animator duration scale

The end result is that all animations provided by the OS are running at twice the speed and it feels snappy while still allowing animations to do their job at hinting information.

You could do floating for all windows or for specific app in sway, that I'm using now, with for_window directive.
Windows themselves don't create drag, it's the interruption of the surface that creates drag. If they do a very good job of getting the windows put in, it shouldn't be an issue. The bigger reason is: it's a prototype, so it's easier not to cut the windows out and fill them with glass.
It's a right wing internet site, that sometimes shows some left ideas that are usually critical of the "left" democratic party in what seems like a cynical ploy to horseshoe theory some leftists in the country while usually interleaving that content with some content that is basically right out of the republican messaging for the day from the GOP.
This is purely my impression and not something I could prove, but it feels like Gnome wanted to have an out-of-the-box Mac-like experience, while not really understanding while people like using Macs. "You don't have a million configuration options on a Mac, so neither should we!" doesn't account for Apple having whole departments working on UI things, choosing sane defaults, etc. People don't like macOS because it doesn't give them options, but because it tried to make good decisions and patterns so that they won't need to tweak everything.

I know lots of people don't like Macs because they're not super tweakable, and that's fine. It's still my impression that Gnome is aiming for that target, while not quite understanding why a lot of people do like Macs.
Man, DALL-E 2 is onboarding 1,000 people from their waitlist each week, according to OpenAI, but I still somehow feel like I'll never get access :( I have a few really cool ideas I want to test, one of which is an end-to-end AI artist using GPT-3 to generate prompts for DALL-E 2. I already have the GPT-3 prompt saved that produces what I think are viable outputs to pipe into DALL-E... I just need the DALL-E access.
