Anecdote from Wisconsin. 30 years ago when driving across the state in summer I remember my father having to stop at gas stations to scrape bugs off the windshield. As a 40 year old, I have never had to do this. There also used to be so many fireflies I'd have jars full in a matter of minutes. I could count on my hands how many I've seen this year.

Shit is not good.
Ubuntu single-handedly delayed Wayland adoption by years.

They didn't switch to Wayland by default, because the apps weren't ready. The apps weren't ready, because they ran on current Ubuntu just fine, so why would they change. Chicken, egg.

Compare that to Apple macOS. Apple breaks macOS compatibility at the rate that GNOME can gush with envy. But the third parties are quick to update, without dragging their feet for years.

So if the signalling was, that Wayland is inevitable by release XX.YY, apps would be ready.

One is not a better parent by controlling their kids for their foreseeable future. One needs to let them join the world and grow on their own, with their own friends.
This adresses the problem partially. The insider often doesn't trade the stocks of their corporation, instead they tip others to trade it. There are networks of C-execs constantly tipping each other.
> They're not under any obligation to include their own code in the training data. Why would they?

Because these models work better with more data and presumably this a lot of high quality data that they already have lying around anyway? Because there no downside according to their own reasoning? Because it would shut up a lot of these criticisms right away? Because marketing would be so much easier with that kind of dogfooding?

In short: because according to their own story there would be only upsides, no downsides.
Data of this sort cannot be handled safely. When it is politically popular to do so, it will be leaked by internal or external actors. The solution is simple and effective, don't make databases, only hand out ID's. The public and government has no right to know the personal ongoings of everyone's lives.
No but the government is and the EPA is part of the mess.
Since this keeps popping up on the front page and nobody seems to understand, here is the list of criteria air pollutants: https://www.epa.gov/criteria-air-pollutants/naaqs-table

As noted in the above link, Congress from time to time amends the Act to update the list, which was last done in 1990. That's all it takes: an amendment to the Act, passed by Congress. They can and have done this before, and yes, even with "climate deniers" signing off on it. The sole reason it hasn't been amended since then is because of the increased practice of doing omnibus bills and each group adding unreasonable expenditures and pet projects to otherwise uncontroversial legislation. How that gets stopped I have no idea, since the only legislators I am aware of who oppose that sort of thing get lambasted by hyper partisan media and the voters who gobble up that propaganda.
I am a bit puzzled that learning to admit that you are wrong is sometimes treated as attaining some kind of superpower. I would say it is just part of growing up. (Having said that, some people seem to never grow up.)
CEOs dog fooding their products and leaving feedback on them is not failing shareholders. Would you prefer a CEO to completely ignore everything their company makes and just trust others to tell him how things are going?

Wow, I also am writing a tool for finding things in the Python AST: https://github.com/Incognito/python-architecture-linter

It does other things too, but one of the key features is reading the AST. It's a bit of a prototype but if you want to jam together on a project I'd be open to it.

Sorry for not replying sooner, but I haven't been online here and simply didn't see it.

Thanks for the long reply, it was a interesting read. I wish you really well.

You mentioned homelessness and mental inllnes several times and I can imagine a situation (I don't know if its acurate though) in which I can understand you. The breaking point for me would be, if I can no longer pull myself out of a misery on my own - without help in sight. That must be very frustrating.

Being angry is not bad or anything. It's okay to be angry. It's okay to be and feel (almost) anything. I don't have a problem with that in general. For me personally, I try to stay away from it, because nothing comes out of it. I'm not resposible and if something turns out a way, then it turned out that way. I can't change that - it already happend. I can (if I am in a situation that enables me to) still change how things are going forward. But 'anger' is a bad companion for that.

My fortune is, that I still have parents where I can occupy a room in the basement. Constant (several years long) failure and mental illness are no strangers to me as well. But I came to the conclusion that it does not matter the slightest what other people think about me or how they life their lifes. It does not take away anything from me and I have to accept that. I'm curious, but I stopped comparing (for example). What I can understand though, is, that I am in a lucky spot to have a working support system. If that breaks apart, I don't know if I would go sour and cynical.

To make one point clear, I don't really have a stance here, I'm just interested. I didn't meant to attack you, if you fell like this was the case.

About: “it’s not the quantity of what you’ve seen but what you took from it” - I know this was a cheesy thing to say, but it was a interesting realisation for me to have in the past. I was raised christian and had rose tinted glasses on for the most of my life. When I 'woke up', it really buffled me how different people actually are and that there is so much more nuace to everything. And most imporantly, there are people (in your age, eg. my parents and friends) who keep their glasses on their whole life and don't even know it. They're missing out big time. After seeing that, age is no longer a 'trump card' for me. Nevertheless I try to (hopefully successful) respect the old. But I don't accept a "I'm old, my argument is based on my rich experiences" any longer. (This is not a critique to a religion, but what people in my environment made from it.)

See, I can 'write my heart out' (a little) and go in ramble mode as well.

I hope you have an above-average day today, FollowingTheDao. I wish you very well :)
Disinflation Begins
Beta Testers: ROFL iOS App
Greetings HN peeps! We are working on a side project, an iOS app called ROFL i.e. "Rolling on Floor Laughing"

ROFL is an iOS video app to enjoy standup comedy jokes. It's a very rough MVP, feel free to comment away.

TestFlight link is here: https://testflight.apple.com/join/ZIAuTSVW

Why did we build this?
1. I wanted to work on a side project.
2. Most digital media has evolved dramatically to how consumers consume content - short clips and shows. Standup comedy has not. Comedians are still producing 30 minute to 1 hour sets and they may lose viewers who aren’t interested in watching the whole thing.
3. Classic jokes and humor gets lost due to cultural changes, so there’s no single source of truth of where jokes came from.
4. Places like Comedy Central have devolved their content to become mostly shows, and there's not a one-stop shop for just standup.
5. We think the world needs more humor right now.

Would love to hear your feedback.

> The Symbolics 3600, the B5000, and the Smalltalk microcode for the Dorado all had generic operation dispatching in hardware

Regarding the symbolics, that seems highly unlikely as lisp is not an object oriented language unless the MOP is draped over it (which is multi-dispatch IIRC and that's not going into hardware). Please provide some links to show I'm wrong.

> The iAPX432 and the Rational R1000, as far as I can tell, didn't.

"9.4.2 Procedure Call and Context Objects
To transfer control to a procedure, a program executes a
CALL instruction, causing the procedure to be invoked. On exe-
cution of a CALL instruction, the hardware constructs a new
context object. The context object is the procedure invocation
record and defines the dynamic addressing environment in
which the procedure executes. All addressing of objects and
scalars occurs through the context object, and the context is
the root of all objects reachable by the procedure."

from https://homes.cs.washington.edu/~levy/capabook/Chapter9.pdf regarding the Intel iAPX 432

Note: dynamic addressing environment. Repeat: 'dynamic'

> Branch target buffer

Oh give me a break, this is just branch prediction and a little caching, it's nothing to do with OO/dispatch because there is no generic dispatch involved. It's just an optimisation for normal dispatch, nothing else. If you don't understand what a branch predictor actually does... ech

I'm not familiar with Dorado, can you provide a link showing this and preferably a bit more information as well actually stating this clearly.

> You're just repeating buzzwords rather than taking the time to understand what they refer to.

I do get tired of HN, I come to learn, I get dragged down by clammy seaweed posts like this, just claims, no concrete anything ("as far as I can tell"), from people who know even less than me ("Generic late-bound operation dispatching .... For many years AMD64 CPUs have had hardware acceleration for this sort of thing in the form of a 'branch target buffer' OMG just stop talking). Don't lecture me until you can deliver the goods, then and only then, lecture away because then I'll be listening.

At least, I could not find how BOOTSEL will help here.

QSPI Flash is external to RP2040.
I was expecting some form of facility

could decrypt and execute (instead of execute only)

Or, Any idea if Rpi would add this feature?

Having some marketing experience, I would say that most marketers would not be able to do this. That is, if their experience is working within marketing departments. What you really need is people who have done exactly what OP asks about, and in that role done some tasks that could be classified as marketing. But a lot of marketers have never launched a new tone side project or startup zero to one, so they don't know how to do it.

Modern marketing is unfortunately siloed with a very narrow purview that is not at all close to covering the 4Ps, which is what marketing really should be about.

How quick are we to forget PRISM [1] and the countless other related programs that have been revealed. Any tech company operating in any country is going to be subject to the state interests within that country. Anything beyond that matter of fact is going to be a matter of public relations come propaganda.

You can see this leaking into the public in the US most commonly with China. China is still a geopolitical adversary of the US, but they're also the economic future of the world. So big companies want to appeal to China, but are in a constant balancing act between that and keeping domestic powers happy.

Wow. I had no idea that these things had such fundamental limitations. I'd feel a lot less safer using one now, to be honest. If you had to estimate, how long would it be before AVs would be able to do all their calculations locally? Is that something that's even under consideration at the time?

I can't control who I am attracted to - that is a psycho-biological issue, not a cultural one. I may simultaneously be LGBT but hate 'LGBT culture', actively dislike pride parades, etc. You are failing to distinguish between the sexual orientations and the cultural movement, in a way that I find discriminatory. It is offensive stereotyping.

I added the city, because I remembered about it. Frankly, I didn't know that Polish had that many diacritics, specifically considering their unfortunate crash into all the digraphs. Ferdinand's name is left as it was, and your point is valid and valuable.

For the curious, this seems to be the issue:

https://github.com/godotengine/godot/issues/32383

The thread is a bit messy, but it was eventually fixed in 3.4 it seems.

It's a serious engine problem, and I can understand getting frustrated/put off by it if you have a bad personal experience (and in general I find deleting nodes in Godot to be surprisingly footgun-ish) but from my PoV it did eventually get solved, so that speaks to something. If not in a timely fashion (but given that I've let bug reports on some of my open source projects, including pull requests, dangle for 5/6 years, I'm inclined to be forgiving ).
Rules are a suggestion, not a requirement. Nobody knows what they're doing, because they don't have to. There is no reward for accurate and efficient work.

Courts are no longer effective remedies for the average individual. The requirement of lawyers to operate courts excludes justice from anyone but the wealthy. As costs of education and elitism rise lawyers are becoming increasingly harder to find.

Large government is by nature dysfunctional. Same as mega corps. The larger you get the more inefficiency you attract and the more you can push out competition. As this increases people want anti trust.

A lot of the other threads seems to talk about being tricked into buying a vegan product rather than the animal one. To me this seems like regulation is needed in deceptive packaging, not the product naming.

Who was to be the arbiter in the debate, i.e. the person deciding which one of you were right?
My Guess is two modes:

Simple - For semi-auto vertical scale only; turn based & single instance low tick-effort central servers (can provide less bill shock for bursts for same set up effort as rolling your own)

Complex - For large horizontal scale of high-tick effort games with full session pinned websockets by geo

both can easily be billed in the wholesale standard RAM GB-hours (say 1.5x cost) as you will be moved up or fanned out to beefier or more systems right when ticks are not being completed well enough within the desired tickrate.

I expect they'll suggest a max of 10,000 players and 100 rooms @ 50ms ticks taking avg. 5ms tick compute on the smallest VM (~50% util which on a 512MB 1x-shared-CPU costs $3.24 p.m on fly)
Well, Coinbase just did 18% layoffs (that's one gone from every 5-person team). In theory it's nicer if your CEO just tells you basically 'please start looking for jobs now, we don't want to have to do layoffs'.

What's so off-putting here is that he's already trying to frame those departures as separating from 'the weakest' (which is disingenuous, because it's old management wisdom that the first to leave in such situations are generally among the best, because those have the best outside options).

I had previously said: "if the author of that blog post found (IMO) straightforward ways to invalidate Vlang's claims in ~1 month with the language, I suspect that I will also find _other_ ways to also invalidate Vlang's claims in a straightforward manner."

Unfortunately, I don't have a month of spare time, like that blogger, to put towards that effort.

It might be (though I doubt it) that the major bugs outlined in that blog post (which your community promptly fixed) happen to be the final set of such major bugs that interfere with Vlang's primary value proposition. Like I said, I'm not willing to put a month of spare time to find out.

I will almost certainly check back after some time (probably more than 1 year), and hopefully by then I will have the spare time to do the inspection, or someone else will have done it. I sincerely hope that you and your community succeed in achieving your goals! Good luck!
