It also depends on middle managers identifying the actual low-performers and not marking for removal high performers who they don't like or might take their job in a slimmed down org.
The insurance middle man takes a huge slice too without offering much in return.

But I do agree with you. What’s the solution though? How do you decide when to let people die?
What they really need to do is to simulate data for permissions that are rejected.

For example, if I reject location permissions, then play back a random GPS trail in a randomly selected city on the planet, complete with simulated error and drift. If I reject Wi-Fi scanning, then show a constantly changing set of fake access points. If I reject camera, then play back some cartoons or deepfaked video as a camera device.

The app should never have to know its permission request was denied.

Yeah, it was really hard to take it seriously after reading that.
I don’t think these investments were necessarily stupid. A lot of people in crypto found bagholders and Thiel was probably hoping he could find his own.
Partly it was second system syndrome. OpenCL in particular thought it was going to be "better", particularly for hybrid programming and portability between "cpu only, GPU only and mixed". I personally find it was a failure, and not just because NVIDIA never cared to really push it.

DirectX and GL predated CUDA and already had opaque buffer allocation things (e.g., vertex buffers). Partly this was a function of limited fixed-function units, maximum sizes of frame buffers and texture dimensions, and so on.

But yes, CUDA had a memory model that wasn't necessarily "magic" but just like regular malloc and free, it's pretty obvious what it does. (And you just live with pinned memory, host <=> device copies, and so on).
> But it also includes the New Atheist movement, which eventually spiraled into Islamophobia;

Like any movement that was created or survived into the social media era, you cannot say that a whole movement 'spiraled' into anything.

You cannot shit Feminism because some Feminists think that freebleeding is righteous, or all men are rapists. You cannot say that "Feminism spiraled into misandry".

Just like that, even if some of the "New Athists" have legitimate Islamophobia, that doesn't invalidate the whole movement.

Any and all criticism of Islam and Muslims tend to labeled as Islamophobia. That shouldn’t be the case.

And if you are an actual athiest, you should see fault, although in various degree, in all religions- bar nore.

If you limit your criticism to only some religions, you are painting yourself as a hypocrite.
I've seen one company that does this conversion and sells converter camera (https://maxmax.com/), but would probably like to keep things simple to start with.

‘ One of Phantom’s bestsellers is a repeater crackling palm break called “Shaggadelic Mojo,” whose flower-strewn box also features a lava lamp, a beaded curtain and a disco ball. It dates back to the late nineties, when Austin Powers was cool.’

Wow, I totally forgot about Opera Mini. I remember using the J2ME version on a not-smart phone, I guess over 10 years ago now. It worked pretty well.
In the example of Kakao, it lists the contacts permission as optional and the app will install and open without it. But it won't let you past a nag screen without it first verifying that you have given it access to your contacts.

Really anything involving personal data should be up to the user. Especially something like your contacts.
> If I manage to get a negative kcal of more than 500kcal a day, this is very tough to take. Your body revolts. It takes a lot of discipline to go with -500kcal for a couple of days in a row.

This is one reason I switched to F-Droid a while ago. Among other things, F-Droid is very strict about reporting potential anti-features, which (ironically?) makes me much more comfortable installing apps from that app-manager.
I think claiming HN has less overt moderation and still manages to be civilized is a little like pointing to a low-crime part of town without much of a police presence, and highlighting it as evidence that cops are unnecessary. In both cases, it's not that policing isn't necessary; it's that—thanks to a less crime-prone community and/or earlier, heavier policing—it's become unnecessary. You don't see a lot of overt moderation on places like HN or Ars Technica, but that's because you learn pretty quickly that ugliness isn't tolerated. (And for what it's worth, a lot of the trolls getting downvoted/told off by dang here do claim that they're being silenced by ideological thought police.)

"Censorship", as you chose to put it, might not "solve" hate, but it absolutely establishes a culture where hate is less welcome, and I think most of us here would much prefer that culture to some anarchic cesspool like 4chan. I've been on the internet for over half my life, and I have never once in that timeframe seen an unmoderated online community that didn't revolve into the internet version of a failed state. You said, accurately, that a crucial factor in any online community is the users you cultivate; I'm not sure how such a cultivation process could work without some level of moderation.

If you can show me an example of a completely unmoderated community that matches HN in terms of civility and intelligent discourse, I would be very curious to see it. As far as I can tell, such a thing has never existed and never will.
>Under Merkel - who grew up in socialist East Germany

Something never talked about is how her parents moved from West to East Germany when she was a baby.

>Germany got a lot of structural characteristics of a socialist economy, in particular being dominated by large manufacturers who have been getting preferential treatment from the government, and losing the ability to adjust and maneuver. She also didn't have that gut check of dealing with Russia and has put all the Germany's eggs into one basket which has been held by Putin.

It's amazing how many gullible still say that Merkel was always against German dependence on Russian gas but could not do anything about it. For 16 years!

I would be surprised, but not shocked, if we learn someday that Merkel is a long-term Russian intelligence asset, recruited in her youth.

Blender 3D is pretty complex and powerful (and therefore kinda hard to learn at first). Pretty sure some folks out there could benefit from anything that helps make it "easier" to learn. Godot game engine also comes to mind for similar reasons. Quite a lot of the most powerful software out there could honestly benefit from learning aids.

Wrong question.

The right one — why is there SV in the US?

I feel that not the last role was played by freedom (political, economical, social) back in the days and lacking now.

Another factor - millions of people running away from ww1,2 and still running from bs, dictators and other mess happening in Europe on a regular basis.

High concentration of entrepreneurial and just smart people were and are among those people.
> Semantic diff – Can we figure out how to use version control to have more context-aware merges? Can you believe that we still rely on a text diffing algorithm from 1976 (and its shortcomings)?

Yeah. You want me to care about my work? Earn it. Give me 1) work that is worth doing - useful or meaningful in some way, and 2) space to work well - work that I can be proud of. Give me both, and I'll care quite a bit about my work. Give me one out of two, and I still may care. Give me neither, and I won't.

In some ways, that's passing the buck. I'm letting my employer determine my attitude about my work, which is probably unhealthy. On the other hand, caring about something when I'm not given the space to actually do what I feel needs done... that's pretty unhealthy, too. It can destroy you. So most of us respond by stopping caring, in self defense.

So, yes, that's kind of our fault. But it's also our employers. You want us to care about grinding out an endless stream of Jira tickets? Human nature says that won't happen.
That's a great point, I hadn't even thought about B&W previews, but definitely something I'll keep an eye out for.

It's the same for Android.
> Don't apps prompt when they access things now?

For some permissions, but not all of them. For example, they don't for Internet access.

> Why must I say no to this every time I open the app?

Doesn't Android have a "don't ask again" option for permissions?
After a hard workout I've often felt not all that hungry at all.

Being lazy, sitting on the couch etc seems to have the opposite effect... I also wonder about what our brain consumes visually. If you're watching other people eating and drinking, it kinda makes you want to do the same.
As much as I have a problem with Apple’s monopolistic control over the App Store, one benefit is that behaviour like this doesn’t make it past review.

I’d love to see a button on the contacts permission window to give the app a list of AI generated fake contacts. (And fake GPS coordinates, and so on).

Philosophically, your phone should be your user agent. It should act on your behalf, not on behalf of some tech companies.
It's so strange, when I went to school almost a decade ago, I took a GPGPU course - I assumed that with GPU compute becoming widely available, it would become ubiquitous, why sort an array on the CPU in nlogn time, when you can do it on the GPU in logn with bitonic sort?

For some reason this future has never come to pass, GPGPU remained a computational curiosity, with it largely relegated to computer graphics and machine learning (although in the latter case, people rarely write CUDA themselves).

I wonder why that is the case, and if it will ever become mainstream.
> Ask yourself this question: who has made more important, far-reaching decisions for the country, Mitch McConnell or Barack Obama?

Oh, so you aren't asking which institution is more powerful, but which faction is better at using power, the currently dominant faction of the Democratic Party or the currently-dominant faction of the Republican Party?

> Repeat the same question with Trump or Biden if you want, even though they have left time in office than Obama.

Considering all four, considering impact and not positive/negative polarity, and considering that in some cases certain of the decisions at issue involved both institutions, and weighting for time in office since we are assessing the power of the institution not the power a person can exercise over their tenure in the institution, my initial impression is Trump > McConnell > Biden > Obama, though that might unfairly promoting McConnell and/or Biden.
The more important question here is why anyone eats at McDonald’s
I wish I had known about D like a decade ago. I swear it was just too ahead of its time.
Hot-code swapping would guarantee a really fast compile times and maybe even "hot reload" of program while it's running. Do not underestimate how much this helps with developer productivity. I'm so tired of the compile times with large C++ codebases...
Most of Esri's core C/C++ tech is fairly beastly. Especially the PE and geoprocessing bits. Spent a lot of time in the Esri space with enterprise customers, worked for a deeply integrated platinum partner, spent time on the campus, blahblah.

Beating Esri is a lofty goal. Aside from the aforementioned core tech, they are extremely entrenched and scaled in basically all horizontals, and have verticals for each, plus a big partner network.

I think that in order to "beat" Esri, you'd have to beat them in all these different spaces, horizontally and vertically. There is some low hanging fruit there technically, IMHO, but the picture bigger is that it's going to take a ton of sales people over many years to actually disrupt.

I think a long-term technical strategy for a scrappy startup to be looked at as an "Esri-beater" would be to start with ArcGIS Online and build inroads from there. There are weak points there in the business response to the licensing evolution, the tech, and the UX/DX.

Just my 2c.
I'd even go as far as to say that's groovy, baby, yeah.

Because it invokes strong reactions and calls for action, versus “seasonal flu”.
It saddens you that people now consume less alcohol?

My take on Netherlands and Uk culture is that the they (still) drink too much alcohol.

They rather drink beer all night than have a proper dinner at a restaurant, which still blows my mind.

The amount of alcohol some cultures consume is excessive, and I’m glad they’re reducing it.
Sure, but the problem is that wages haven’t been inflation adjusted. Literally everything else is, but labor is suppressed sadly.
It’s not. It would save me from so many predatory apps if I knew they’d require contact and calendar access, for example, for a utility app.
It depends on the kind of exercise IME. Swimming is one I've found that generates an enormous appetite.

More like native UI for the web? I'd take your point if he only mentioned macOS or iOS. Check your bias!
We also don’t have raw TCP or ICMP in a web browser. It’s probably for very similar reasons.

My guess is that there is no strong enough demand for such low levels network protocols in major web browsers. It is not worth the risks, and the costs, and the complexity.

We have HTTP, WebSockets, and WebRTC.
I don't know, seems to be a cultural US thing. I live in the EU and I have a hard time finding anything even resembling anime on the TV and any public media.
I'd venture 95% of JS and Python devs don't even know what the stack is. They might have some vague understanding of a reference type vs. a value type, but that's probably it. Even in something like C# or Java I'd guess it's less than half that know what they are.
Hacker claims they stole police data on a billion Chinese citizens
IRL that's somehow like Tenerife, Canary Islands, works as a popular European tourist destination: They built (in the 60s and 70s) two major centers in the dry south, not far from the airport: Los Christianos and Los Americanos. When exiting the airport, the crowds divide: all those (mostly anglophone I think) tourists who are there with their buddies for the booze and the all-you-can-eat turn left and are shuttled to those two centers, everybody else—the retired couples, the quiet types, people into hiking and stuff—heads down the highway to the right and distributes over the much larger rest of the island, including the green and more hospitable north. For all the crowds and the frenzy at the airport, Tenerife has many quiet and even lonely and downright deserted spots.

The path to AGI is shrouded in mist and we don't know which way to take. If you directly optimise towards an objective you might not reach it unless you're already very close to see the last few steps.

The best solution is to try everything, build the necessary stepping stones. Some of them will be useful in hindsight, we just don't know which. Biological evolution does the same. Culture evolves in a similar way.

For example, did Newton have any idea about the utility gradients will have in learning models of language? Probably not. But his contribution paved the way to GPT-3. From his position it was just impossible to foresee, from our position it seems trivial. You can learn the basics of transformer neural nets in a course of 8h on YT.

So we don't need guarantees if we are ready to try out everything. And that's exactly what the deluge of AI papers does.
Yeah and its an absolute PITA to set up, and a nightmare from the ops perspective, I'm not even sure what even are you supposed to use on the server side.

I don't think that that engineers who built Kubernetes were looking at Plan9 and saying "ok guys, it's too easy to do things, we must make it harder so people are aware of the network".

I think the more believable scenario is "hey let's see what we can do with the existing Linux systems and sockets and stuff" and then importing the network into the model because it was the simplest solution.

Then again, whether or not should applications be network-transparent-by-default is a discussion for itself. I believe they should. Every program (that does not drive hardware directly) is just a piece of code that glues various OS APIs together. In the case of Plan9, the APIs are the filesystem, and the filesystem can be modified with 9P protocol. If we can use the same local program to perform an operation on a remote machine without any modification, why the hell shouldn't we.

Erlang has had Hot-code swapping for decades
And even on a small retainer you'd better hope they retained the knowledge of how all that stuff works if you're only calling on them every now and again.

This is why we document things at the company I work for. If you're serious about a project and want it to exist for a long time there will be things that only come up every few years, and you won't remember them. You can either write things down or you have to relearn how things work every time. Wroting things down is much easier.
Exactly! The idea is during development you use the super fast backend that supports hot code swapping. Then when you want to make a release build you use llvm and get all the optimization benefits of a longer compilation.
Microsoft Store is the worst. It is like something designed by an incompetent third-grader.
Yes, I would be very interested in that as well. I work with a DPDK based app and have sometimes thought about how close to the same performance we could get by using as many kernel optimizations as possible (io_uring, xdp, I don't know what else). It would be an interesting option to give the app since it would greatly simplify the deployment sometimes, as dealing with the DPDK drivers and passthrough in a container and cloud world isn't always the easiest thing.
