Well. I don't think it is a good idea. In text-based content, you need to wait for some input from the user that he's done reading this part of the page and is ready to proceed further. And in your case, the page scrolls extremely fast. I'm no slow reader, but I barely manage to read the chapter headline before it scrolls.
Most people don't pay that much attention.

They like the 'vibe' and that's that.

They may not specifically clue into the mapping of 'vaccine hesitation / conspiracy' to 'health outcomes', they might just view it as 'opinion' - which it is of course, but most responsible people understand the 'dots have to be connected'.

I think it's a bit part of the reason why a place like HN won't grasp populism: we are almost by definition 'anti populist' by our very outlook.

Even smart young people are usually busy with school, partying, social things, they don't all have time to parse all of the shifting nonsense, and those that do are more often than not trapped down rabbit holes, I think searching for 'an identity' more than they realize it.

This is populism. We (the crowd) make decisions on rough statements, headlines, a few words here and there, prejudices, assumptions etc.. Some of use a bit smarter than others, almost none of us see our blindspots.
It's amazing that this magazine issue is still (somewhat) relevant and interesting 43 years after its initial publication.

(I note that HN frequently has posts on Lisp as well as 8-bit systems.)

Other than HN, is there anything equivalent to BYTE in the modern era?

I do like magazines like Linux Format and RasPi, but they're focused on Linux and Raspberry Pi whereas BYTE seems to have covered all "small systems" from microcontrollers to multiuser systems (so both Linux and Raspberry Pi systems would be in scope, as would Arduino as well as Apple/Microsoft/Android/etc..) This issue also included a wide range of contributors from enthusiast developers to industry professionals to teachers and researchers.
It's pretty decent. I threw a drum'n'bass track at it to see how it would cope with heavily produced material and the results were surprisingly good.
The article is in the context of the US and the CHIPS Act, it doesn't even mention Europe.

Or is the CHIPS Act also funding fabs in Europe?

I'm not sure it does Europe good to make US-surveillance-ridden chips either.
Why not start that discussion yourself?
Been using demucs for a couple of weeks now, mostly taking my early produced music which I have since lost the project files for and giving them a remix and update. Gotta say I have been blown away by how good demucs is. I installed it following the repo instructions and then created a zsh alias to run it with any file name. Eg $ai_split mySong.mp3

Wait fifteen minutes and out pops four stems, flawless so far, even been messing around with mainstream tracks and using ableton with warp applied to quickly build out remixes. Demucs is going to be /is already a game changer!
In this role you will partner closely with our Head of People and be the heart and soul of Kumo AI. You will own task from Recruiting, Operations and Office management. This would be a huge role to learn everything under the umbrella of HR.
You need to be financialy independent, as long as you are not you risk being a wageslave and doing what you have again if you fail to make money in some other way.

If you're not financialy independent you need to create a sustanabile revenue stream from some other project.

In general the recommendation is to either match your wage with your alternative revenut stream or even 2x of your wage before quitting.

If you quit without heaving a revenue stream you risk just jerking around and ending up having to go back to a job you hate.

Based on your tone I don't think you can ever enjoy the work you are currently doing. Trying to enjoy something you hate is trying to square a box.

You're too far gone, you've seen/understood thing that makes it clear that you don't want to do what you do anymore.

But the reality of this planet is that you need $$$ to survive.

Based on my own personal past experiences I really have to say this: don't quit until you have an alternative revenue stream that covers atleast your living expenses.

“There is also a BMC based on a chip we could not find information on via Google.”

Red flags, literally.
Take into account that they prohibit Windows Home specifically.

In my company I am dealing with buying laptops for new hires - there is no way I am buying laptop with Windows Home edition.

That is problem with explaining people that they should buy laptop with Windows Professional. Whatever the cost is - company is paying. New hires are shy to expense company THAT is the problem.

So I think problem is that people try to buy cheapest laptop they can to "be cheap".

If my company would be on scale of GitLab I probably would not be able to control that but I am specifically buying laptops via my manager - and there is no way we would buy Windows Home laptop.

Seven years of sex abuse: How Mormon officials let it happen
I'm genuinely curious, what about The Mitchells vs. The Machines graphics felt slightly outdated? It felt like they pushed the boundaries of the medium to me, including doing a lot of custom rendering work to make their final frames match their concept art as closely as possible, right down the the stroke textures and light-responsive character outlines. Or were you just referring to them not making any significant advances in physically-based rendering, because in that case I see what you're saying.

Side note, that movie was spectacular. I have poster for it on my apartment wall!
Ah, yes it does. Can toggle the timestamps off and copy it into an editor to fix the sporadic newlines to get something broadly legible, thanks!
> Writing it down helps it go into my head

This is what I've found as well.

In high school, a gym teacher forced us to copy his slides for sex ed. At the time I thought it was completely stupid. But come test time, it was amazing how much I remembered. Like you, I've never felt the need to re-read my notes - just writing down the information has been enough.

I've carried the habit with me, and it's continued to work well for me.

Something about hand writing is just much more effective than typing. I wish it weren't so.
Isn't that just because it wouldn't be interesting to write about a utapian transhuman society? I really wouldn't put much stock into what a few story writers came up with.
Mines specifically? No idea. But come from backgrounds if wealth and privilege comparable to what Musk had from his families Emerald mines? A huge number.

Think farms, family businesses, real estate empires, even just well known doctors or other professionals.

Elon Musks family were comfortably upper middle class but really nothing special in terms of wealth. There would be hundreds of thousands of American families as rich alone.
The Witnesses
I am being sincere and would like to see EVs succeed, but let's be realistic about the full lifecycle costs and residual values. This goes beyond short term service costs.

A 2002 model year Toyota 4Runner in decent running condition still retains significant value today, and can be easily repaired with commonly available parts. In 2042, will we be able to say the same about any EV being sold today?
It follows: entire industries were required to deploy DES and the goal was to create one thing that was “strong enough” to narrow the field.

Read the blog post carefully about the role of NBS, IBM, and NSA in the development of DES.

It’s hard to accept because the implications are upsetting and profound. The evidence is clear and convincing. Lots of people try to muddy the waters, don’t help them please.
About time.

The FTC should be involved, too, and require refunds for anybody who wants one.

FSC, "full self-crashing".

I've seen those videos you are talking about but I think they're all made by the same group. I don't think it's necessarily a "trend."
The media is gonna push climate change fearmongering 24/7 for the next 10 years.
In the coming years, all sorts of people will be making films, and they'll be empowered by a new generation of editing, compositing, and rendering tools. They won't need large sums of capital or large teams to accomplish what the Pixar of yesteryear did.

There are so many people that want to direct, yet the current Hollywood regime only has so much room at the top to grow into. That's going to change.

And if you doubt that people want to be creative, just look at TikTok. Really, YouTube should have been our first evidence of this.
EVGA makes you pay return shipping, and turnaround time is 10-15 days in my experience, depending on how much money you want to spend on shipping.

I’ve exclusively used UPS ground for my evga returns, of which I did 5-10 over the past couple years.
It definitely does not know what the image is. Generating variations of fireman with a hose resulted in a bunch of gardeners with hats that kinda look like fireman image but clearly gardeners
You totally missed my point.
Everything is believe. Everything you know came from your sensory input.

Here's the big question. How do you know that the evidence your sensory apparatus reveals to you is correct? What I'm getting at is this. The only experience that is directly available to you is your sensory data. This sensory data is merely a stream of electrical impulses that stimulate your brain.

In other words, all that you really know about the outside world is relayed to you through your electrical connections.

That would mean that...you really don't know what the outside universe is really like at all for certain.
Agreed and same here. Now they're spending their money on lobbying the government for rules in their favor, rather than on improving the product.

I loved the idea of a mobile browser that supported extensions! But they just haven't invested enough to keep it performant. I still use Firefox on mobile now and then, but largely had to switch to the DuckDuckGo mobile browser.
Weird little nit about the blog, the progress bar disappears when I scroll up and reappears when I scroll down (using FF).

On a more related note, I haven't used G search in at least 5 years except on mobile, so this is kind of shrug announcement to me, but good on them for restoring functionality that they clearly didn't want to support.
well then, the solution is simple. Don't click 'play' and like I said, Users on mobile won't even see that 'play' button.

The list of things you never use reads just like the table of contents of the book.
I've only read 1st edition but I imagine the 2nd edition is more relevant now.
In terms of filling up a canvas, I'd say content aware fill is in the same ballpark, if you add some google image search to help it.
FWIW, I'd say the new Nix CLI should see broader adoption soon. It was only just around the beginning of 2022 that they started signaling it was mature and there's been good progress to improve things like Home Manager compatibility with the new session format brought with the new CLI since.

I think mostly now a few people just need to step up to overhaul the docs.
And then people look even closer and notice that its the same prototype of the Tesla android revealed to much fanfare in 2021, and now that they can see it up close and in person - they realise its actually just a person in a gimp suit, it always was.
I think you have to go all the way back to the 1920s- and 1930s-era radio magazines for a comparable vicarious-zeitgeist vibe.

Conveniently, some of those are on archive.org as well, e.g. https://archive.org/details/Radio-Craft . (Cheat code for search purposes: gernsback.) March 1949 is especially awesome, with articles by Sarnoff and De Forest on the Next Big Thing of the day (television) and, as an afterthought towards the back, an article on NIST's first atomic clock.
You shouldn't need a user account for automated tasks, that's what webhooks and deploy keys are for.
No, it is relevant. When the curtain is pulled back and it is revealed that all of the accounts are bots, advertisers will stop spending money with Twitter.
In my neighborhood in London (maybe everywhere in London?), most of the lampposts by on-street parking have charging ports [1]. So you just park near a lamppost and plug in at night. There's a QR code you scan, then you click on a web page and it starts charging. Pretty cheap and easy. It's honestly easier than going to a gas station.

So in my experience, having an electric car in London is super convenient. There's myriad ways to charge it and increasingly good rapid charging options along major routes. But I'm sure that's not everyone's experience in every neighborhood or city. Hopefully things keep improving as rapidly as they have been.

NB: I have seen someone in London string a charging cable up through their non-ground-floor apartment window once, but only once :)

The biggest problem with A16Z dumping at the top while using the "we're so early" lines to get exit liquidity is that they are a seed/growth fund, not a hedge fund. It just ruins their credibility when talking about web3/crypto. If a hedge fund does this sort of thing, they're just trying to maximize profit, which isn't especially bad if they're not simultaneously telling retail investors that they are getting in on the ground floor.
Edit: not saying A16Z is dumping on retail, just that it looks really bad for them if they are.
You can’t reuse them you mean

I've been thinking about this.

How about a heuristic of: If the user phrases their search as a natural language query ("what is...?", "how do I...", etc...) then use whatever weird relevancy metrics and search word substitution your research suggests will answer the question best. OTOH, if the user appears to phrase their search as just a list of keywords, search for all the words verbatim.

They already do query classification for things like Google Calculator. Extending the classifier to switch between "natural language query" and "strict keyword search" seems like a reasonable extension of that idea.
The step from connectivity of 0 bps to 100 bps is massive. Plenty of sensor apps need a few hundred bytes per day to create value.

I wonder if this has anything to do with the CHIPS Act. It seems like a good time to look around and see if you can acquire a company and somehow capture some (or more) of that funding.

NGINX, at its core, is a collection of modules. It contains several in built modules as well as hundreds of third party modules, contributed by developers from all over the world. With the addition of dynamic module support, modules have given us greater flexibility in adding functionalities to NGINX.
1. The fed makes loans to member banks, this money isn’t backed by deposits like it would be at a traditional bank. The fed “raising rates” refers to the interest it charges on these loans.

2. The fed makes asset purchases on the open market. Of late, these have been two types of assets: US treasuries, and mortgage backed securities. It pays for these with cash and adds them to the balance sheet, said cash was “printed”. The fed is currently in the process of selling (some of) these assets back onto the market and “destroying” said cash.

All of that is represented as the “M1” money supply. M1 is dwarfed by the M2 supply, which is made up of the M1 supply as well as the money created when banks make loans backed by their own balance sheets.

I haven't talked at all about whether incremental WYSIWYG editing of TeX documents is desirable, nor indeed about incremental WYSIWYG editing of TeX documents at all. Nor did I talk about whether a more responsive TeX workflow was desirable. The only things I said were desirable were (a) being less aggressive and (b) understanding the distinction between interpreters and compilers.

I have no idea why you would believe I agree with you about these objectives. Perhaps you have me confused with somebody else, in addition to being confused about what a compiler is, and about whether TeX has an interactive mode with a prompt, which it does (as, you point out, do many other interpreters).

Your proposed definition of "compiler", which would make grep a "compiler", as well as CPython when run with a .py file as an argument, but not HotSpot, is almost completely unrelated to the standard definitions. I have quoted a selection of them for your edification in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32362579. The standard term for what you are calling a "compiler" is "batch-mode program".
There is evidence of that, in fact. There were many serious terrorist attacks in Europe, like in Spain's subway (300 dead) and Frankfurt, in the aftermath of 9/11 and other...uh howmy gonna say this...other stuff, the Spanish terrorist attacks were done by Basque nationalists or such, not Muslims.

So there's your control group, Europe.
"I notice many of them seem to have very poor taste in music."

Great response and critique until that point. I'm old (52) enough to have seen quite a few media changes too. I recall that when you were off your tits at a party, and discussing music, you tried to find common ground. That could lead to some impressive contortions!

Can't say I ever spent much on playback hardware. I generally went second hand for speakers/amps etc. Once the Walkman was invented and then rather a lot of Chinese (and other copies were available) clones appeared then you could ruin your hearing close up with seriously decent quality sound on the move. I was still walking around with a mini cassette player with wired ear plugs in my jacket's breast pocket until around 1993ish.

I did lay out something like £200 on a pair of decent headphones for use at home. They make anything from O Fortuna to Ghost Town via say Schehehererherereherezade, Finlandia and One sound rather ... Special.
When I ran a SaaS business, I didn't have the analytics to find out if a customer was using the product or not but I never hesitated to give customers refunds if they claimed to have signed up and forgotten to cancel or something. It's not worth the hassle to take people's money if you are not delivering any value to them. You can't build a sustainable business on that model so why bother trying.
Actually I have to take you up on this, people who run large corporations say that it's the strong legal regime they have. In reality, it's a tax shelter. The only question is "How much does Delaware care about their status as a real legal regime vs their actual purpose: a tax haven". They know it's difficult to defend "We're a tax shelter sucking revenue out of the rest of the union", so they argue "We have strong legal structures" but we all know that Coca Cola wouldn't be incorporated in Delaware if they could save a cent by being incorporated in Georgia.

To be fair that's how a lot of software worked in that era. MS Office worked that way too (doc files, not docx files).
I don't mean to represent that I think it's a fact, only that people are increasingly repeating it, which represents more negativity than I think Elon has received in the past.

Interestingly though, it was Elon who said his family owned an emerald mine:

That was a Forbes interview in 2014.

> JC: How do you handle fear?

> EM: Company death – not succeeding with the company – causes me a lot more stress than physical danger. But I’ve been in physical danger before. The funny thing is I’ve not actually been that nervous. In South Africa, my father had a private plane we’d fly in incredibly dangerous weather and barely make it back. This is going to sound slightly crazy, but my father also had a share in an Emerald mine in Zambia. I was 15 and really wanted to go with him but didn’t realize how dangerous it was. I couldn’t find my passport so I ended up grabbing my brother’s – which turned out to be six months overdue! So we had this planeload of contraband and an overdue passport from another person. There were AK-47s all over the place and I’m thinking, “Man, this could really go bad.”

Who knows what happened between when he was 15 and 17 to his family wealth that made him essentially penniless in a foreign country.

I heard a couple metaphors about this recently. If you don't love yourself, how can you expect to love others fully?

I wonder if some sort of cryptocoin/blockchain alternative could be created, that would be harder to shut down.

It would probably have to be based on having an elected council (with an odd number of members) signing off on the outcome of a market. If people see a bias in their history (which of course should be public), they will factor that into their bids, hopefully discouraging people from getting on the council to make money on their own bids.

And of course the council should be elected with some kind of ranked-choice/condorcet so you tend to elect centrists rather than extremists.
