As I write this comment almost everyone else in the thread is interpreting it to mean some variation of an abusive workplace environment. The guy you responded to is being more charitable and less cynical than that.
I used to joke when the Subway wheels squealed “yeah that’s how the engineers designed that”

Turns out, it was.
I’ve been playing Halo (competitively) since CE. I feel like Infinite was a huge let down. For how long they had, there’s essentially no multiplayer content. I stopped playing after a couple months. Not sure what’s going on a 343i, but they need to get their shit together and not let such a great game die.

... and they should fix controller advantage vs PC. :)
What history would that be?
It never stops, it just starts awarding them slower and slower as mining difficulty increases. So, the total approaches an asymptote.
Crypto currencies are IMO all speculative assets. They may go up or down. People try to anticipate which way they will go based on various different criteria, but it's mostly a crap shoot. The same crypto currency is likely to fluctuate significantly up and down in value over time.
Yeah. It reads like a 2nd grader's writing. My brain is thinking the author has run the sentences on after the paragraph breaks. Really tough to read.
The death of universities cannot happen soon enough. If only to force them to genuinely re-evaluate all of their stupid decisions over the last 50 years so that future generations can avoid the same fate.
You are right. That would make... Number go up!

But really, I don't think anyone knows what a deflationary currency would be like. It's not like fiat currency will go away.

There will probably be some people who want to fork Bitcoin to increase the supply.
Grit can be defined as "Perseverance of Effort and Consistency of Interest" [0] so when I see an ad looking for "gritty people" I assume they're trying to find folks who tend to keep working on a problem consistently and won't want to move on until the work is completed.

Kind of a boring response, but I think you're reading too much into this. It's just a word.

Sounds like those words could have stood on its own without the fluff about what the present weather is like at the time of writing.
Also known as India broad gauge, which while not common isn't uncommon either.
Our talking isn't necessarily all that much clearer, and we've been doing it for much longer than writing.

(Though to be fair, almost all talking used to be done in an interactive setting, where you can ask clarification questions.)
I feel like there is a huge elephant in the room here of how shitty Utah’s support system evidently is. No money to assist his disabled parents and his autistic brother. This whole family was living in desperate, grinding poverty, and that gave this kid a super strong urge to try and get out of it instead of having a childhood.
This is pretty cool! Conceptually it's pretty similar to a classic Mac game I remember from the 90s called The Tinies. The goal is to get each "Tiny" creature to a bed of the same color.

Where it gets complicated is that each creature will in a straight line move up, down, left, or right as far as they can until they hit a wall. You can't stop in the middle of the floor and turn, although there are arrows on the floor that will redirect them, and even teleport pads. Each tiny also acts as an obstacle to other tinies, so you can place them in a particular location to force another tiny to stop short so they can be moved in a different direction some distance from a wall (similar to your conditional graph edges).

That's incredibly interesting, thanks for sharing and the hilarious good wishes :)

Here's the IL Appellate court's opinion in my suit if you're curious - lots of discussion at the intersection of SQL injection and esoteric legal interpretation: https://www.illinoiscourts.gov/resources/5ff80f52-17df-4b2a-...

(We won the at the Appellate, but it's going to IL Supreme Court..)
Here's what I'm talking about: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Foreign_Intellig...

41,222 warrants requests submitted to a secret Federal court since 1979. 85 rejected. 0.2% rejection rate, they rubber stamp virtually everything submitted to them, and I don't believe for an instant it's because federal investigator and prosecutors are just that good.

This sort of shit is a greater threat to civil liberty than any sort of terrorism.
I’d rather have the companies fighting for the user. What is the purpose of a standard anyway, other than to serve the users? The idea is counterproductive if it results in a worse UX, even if just in the medium term.

In this case, getting those companies to fix their broken code is unrealistic. Less realistic than just providing a whitelist anyway.
Describing it like that is a programmer thing, but the mental operation itself might be more common?
Mason encourages any artists who don’t want their works in the data set to contact LAION, which is an independent entity from the startup. LAION did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

I'm very much pro AI but also think it's going to be badly disruptive for the creative community, and the people saying 'it will enable new forms of creativity' are failing to get this in a big way. It enables non-artists to generate or construct custom work : I think that's great as I'm a pretty mediocre artist and something like Stable Diffusion gives me all kinds of new toys to play with.

but if you're a professional artist and you already have the ability to make art, perhaps in a variety of styles, is it going to help you much? No, no more than a sampler is much help to a guitarist. But the professional artist is going to find themselves competing with mechanical interpretations, not merely reproductions, of their own work. I was at first mystified by the number of prompts I would see with 'artstation' included until I realized it was essentially a way of getting art in the particular style you like without having to pay a commission.

Licensing terms and optouts as a legal figleaves are a very American way of shrugging off responsibility for the thing you built which is definitely going to be used in the same way you used to market it to begin with.

The ability to copy style so perfectly is part of the hook for all these tools, but in some ways a shortcoming. They can reproduce small scale visual features incredibly well - you can get different versions of the same ideas as they might have been painted by this or that famous artist (though I really think they should have limited themselves to dead ones for the input). So far these models seem to be less successful at larger features like compositional balance, though that's a very subjective assessment on my part. It might be that in the rush to impress they've optimized on solving the less interesting problem.
Re Sauron

My belief is that we're still in a time when Sauron can assume a fair form - after all, Numenor is still around.
On a 5950x, the latencies for core 0 are very high if SMT is enabled, I wonder why that is?

It's a bit of a generalization (however, I'm sure it's correct here): the biggest issue with Adobe is the fact that their CEO has been at the helm for 15 years. That's entirely too long in tech to be on the same job and not start suffering from a lack of new perspectives.
I prospect in Youtube to find jewels like this one:

Throwing in a note of appreciation here. Had friends over to dinner last night at our place and at close to midnight a fun debate broke out about puzzles like wordle, and quordle and the like. I shared this URL with my friends and said “no instructions, you just got to do it. All I will say is that it can be done”

It was so funny to suddenly go from noisy bunch of us to each person quietly studying the problem followed by the occasional “wth??”

They all want to know if this is going to be a daily thing now.

The only question mark we have is whether the game will be fun on a regular basis since so much of the fun (and satisfaction) actually came from figuring out the rules of the game in the first place :D
The teachers cannot fix the public schools, I agree with that. But they shouldn't keep repeating the obvious propaganda like the Great Pencil Shortage :-)

The solution is, and you know this is coming (!), free market schools.

A half-step in that direction are charter schools, which the teachers unions fight tooth and nail.

I've never talked with a public school teacher who had anything positive to say about charter schools.
Funny to see it rubbed so many people the wrong way. It actually stood out in a positive way to me, I read it as “we want people who bring projects to the finish line, including if they are challenging”. The reason I would see it as a positive is that I would expect the existing culture to reflect that, and it’s a quality I value in colleagues. As a shared culture it also seems like a good trait for a growing company.
Apocalypse: World War I - https://g.co/kgs/LZYDKi

It's impossible to understand the twentieth century without understanding WWI, which is why this outstanding documentary is so crucial. Parts are very hard to watch, but you need to. I was amazed by how much footage exists from WWI.

[Bonus] Apocalypse: Stalin - https://g.co/kgs/Ypj5sX

A subsequent offering by the same filmmakers. Also excellent.
In most countries the union is reasonable to work with. For that matter in most counties management is reasonable to work with. In the us neither cares for anything but making themselves better at their expense of anything else.
That recent post here made me think:

* Why another hiring ad again on HN for this company! I'm tired of seeing them here

* Looked at the job openings anyway; see openings for Sales and Interns. Why in the fi** is it on HN?

They're on my shit list of employers to ignore.
It's an order of magnitude slower.
Good question, I'm not sure. But very few of my targeted advertising base are going to have piholes configured, so that specifically is not impacting my numbers.

I can understand that people are going to have ad-blockers or just accidentally click ads, but it's scummy that FB charges me for it. They have the technical means to filter those out, but they don't.
What's your source? Wikipedia cites several sources at a budget of over 100m. The fact is this project is over 4x the initial budget sold to voters. It's a total money pit and political scam.

LucidChart was founded around 2008 (couple years before Figma). Their use of WebGL predates Figma's by atleast couple of years, and I remember it was famous enough as a startup to be very visible as a web graphics tool. There must have been other older startups which I'm not aware of.

The narrative seems to ignore this. Infact when Figma came around I thought the idea was to combine Sketch (which was truly a pioneer, but limited to only to Mac) and LucidChart kind of web graphics tool to make a platform agnostic 'Sketch'.

Great idea - but it was mostly about execution, which was of course was beautifully done.
Yeah my Sony tv from about that same year is the worst TV i've ever owned by far. Theres crazy bugs like when you leave a show or youtube paused it will just randomly start playing again after 10 minutes. The UI is very slow and unresponsive. If you smash the up/down volume too fast it disconnects from the soundbar. The remote is like something from the 1980s with 1000 buttons on it.

By comparison my Samsung TV is an absolute joy to use. The UI is responsive, works like you expect it to, The remote is wonderful. It really amazes me how Sony was a leader in the 80s and 90s then ate the dirt hard after the iPod and now 15+ years later they still haven't reorganized and got their act together to be a leader in anything except maybe camera sensors for smartphones.
We are not living dangerous times, we been living dangerous times and we still are, it's not one sided, both China and the US are problematic, he US sparks conflicts to assert their dominance and hegemony everywhere, and China try to fight back and increase their influence everywhere, why couldn't they do what the US is doing?

And Israel more locally with Libya, Lebanon, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria and soon with Iran

The only solution is the unification of the world

Luckily, that's happening, instead of 150+ countries, we now have 2 blocks, NATO and BRICKS

Luckily Europe only has 1 currency (with some exceptions), and will probably adopt digital EURODOLLAR, BRICS probably will go with a digital YUAN

Middle East is covered by Israelli effort, and South America will be led by Brazil probably, or maybe Argentina/Chile we'll see

Easier to unite 3-4 blocks than 150+ countries :)

Maybe a scenario for a movie!

Aren't all assets speculative, and may go up or down?
I'm not sure if you are asking how to export your public key or how to distribute it, so I guess I can mention both.

You can export your public key using the --export flag, by default it exports all public keys in the keyring, so you can pass a keyid to only export a specific key. If you need the exported key to be in text form (not just a binary file) you can pass the --armor flag as well. The --armor flag encodes the binary data with base64 or something which allows you to operate on it like you would any other text (copy/paste, send over email, etc).

As for distributing the key, it depends! Lots of people put their public key on their GitHub profile or somewhere on their website (if they have a website). Since we are on HN you could put it in the "about" field on your HN profile. If none of these work you can send it over telegram, signal or whatever your favorite messaging method is.

For most people and situations the TOFU (trust of first use) method of distribution works fine. If you have stronger security requirements or are more paranoid you can establish a more secure channel or try to meet with the other parties in person.
Rockefeller still had some privileges that allowed him to navigate the world easier while carrying his ambition with him—being male and Caucasian—and that’s not to speak of the people that he collaborated with along the way.

I’m not interested in discussing race or gender politics here, but it’s worth pointing that out since your comment comes off as completely dismissive of systemic advantages, environmental factors, and personal networks that all contribute to success, as if to say that any personal success is the product of a single factor alone: grit.
Ask HN: What's the simplest chat back end I can set up in the next 3 days?
I've got a mobile app, and I need to add a chat feature ASAP.

I know Go, Nodejs, and Elixir (beginner). Out of these, it seems like Elixir (using Phoenix channels) might be the simplest approach. But I have never built a chat system before, with auth and some restrictions.

I also know that there are chat SDKs that I can use, but the biggest downside is that the pricing is insane.

I also know that I could just use firestore and be done with it tonight. However, that comes with its own set of issues. I tried it in the past, and it didn't turn out so well.

So - if you had to build a chat system in 3 days, how would you do it?
Do you really think the majority of Uber engineers have forsaken all morality? A more plausible explanation is that bad patterns can emerge from systems where most of the players are still behaving [locally] ethically.
I’ve had the chance to test a few of the up-and-coming dedicated AI accelerators, and except for the TPU, none of them gave a speed up or perf/watt improvement that was worth the additional complexity of using something that didn’t natively support Cuda. (And the reason the TPU is different is because XLA is a first class citizen for TF/JAX, and has pretty good support in pytorch)

And I definitely see some future for FP16/BF16 or INT8 devices for inference, but I don’t know how widespread such devices will become for training. For many types of models, they simply won’t converge if they don’t at least use a mixed precision scheme. And there are certain problems where even for inference you get a significant benefit from using FP32 - for instance, I work on building DL surrogate models for physical simulations. We get better results with the increased dynamic range and precision.
"Around University Avenue" is the only reasonable deduction. Calling the other ones center would be too weird, and yes, if you take a stroll there, you could overhear a lot of such types of conversations.
I literally burst out laughing when the slow motion scene of the horse’s hooves came on TV.
The best solution for the argument that “ads help people find stuff when they do go looking”, is an ad-directory.

Want to buy some new clothes and shoes soon? Go to an ad directory and browse the offerings - it’s beneficial for everyone. Users, because they’re getting what they want (when and how they want it) and for providers too: their audience are self-selecting their target, they have high intent to buy. This would make actual advertising cheaper, brands would get more creative freedom (have to stick out more, have to help your target market quickly identify you and you don’t need to spend oodles of time and money setting up complicated arms-race-sequence AI targeting run by a duopoly of “totally trustworthy companies”). Users are happy because they’re freed from the cognitive burden of constant harassment.
If you're not willing to engage with arguments by people with an agenda, I don't think anyone needs to hear from you on critically reading and understanding opposing viewpoints, let alone public discourse.
It makes me think I'll have to deal with unprofessional personalities while navigating piles of technical debt and legacy apps.
Wait, what? Longtime Wayland hater here and I literally thought this was one of the things I could expect Wayland to be better at.
> the real truth is that money is complicated and dealing with things like fraud cause myriad edge and corner cases which have real financial effects.

More specifically, policies like "know your customer" are great in theory but very hard to implement in practice, which is why companies like Stripe tend to be ruthless with their merchants.

Crypto tries to sidestep this entirely by arguing that it's trustless from the ground up. The problem with this is that it facilitates the creation of an unstable marketplace full of interconnected players and nobody knows who is legit and who is a complete crook. Projects like Terra show that when the crypto market recedes, entire segments of the blockchain ecosystem are at risk of being wiped out because there is no transparency to their underlying operation. It's all gravy in a boom cycle, but the bust always happens.

Crypto and its derivative products can only truly thrive in an environment that is free of market downturns because there's absolutely nobody at the wheel making sure that these companies are actually doing what they claim to be doing.
I feel like complex sentences like this need braces to make them clear. Like, programming-language-style indentation would help a lot.

"
Each Party shall endeavor to ensure that {
energy-related activities that {
do not result in a facility exceeding its previously authorized capacity
AND that are limited to {

OR ensuring the safety of,
} existing cross-border infrastructure
} may be undertaken under the initial authorization and shall not require a new authorization.
}
"

this is silly, but in this view I can clearly see "okay, where's the beginning and end of the stuff Each Party Shall Endeavor To Ensure".
> what does it matter how big the company is? Rules should be the same for everybody regardless of how big they are.

Do you support existing antitrust laws? I'll respond to the rest of your post once you answer that.
>"unfortunately"

>"dabbling"
> I've heard the pencil trope from you, as well as other teachers, not administrators. When the school spends $16,000 per student, and can't get pencils, it just doesn't add up.

The school is perfectly capable of getting pencils. The local public school teachers get $150/year for supplies and classroom decorations for ~30 kids. And they get yelled at if their room ends up looking spartan.

> Any other industry would share lesson plans.

Yup! We have things like teachers-pay-teachers where you can make a few bucks sharing lesson plans. We have some districts that give teachers a small amount of funds to use this.

We have other districts forbid teachers using any resources not provided by the district or the teacher themselves. Often "quality concerns" are really code for "we want someone local to blame if there's something in the material we don't like".

> Teachers also tell me that each summer for their grade, they have to develop the 5th grade lesson plans all over again.

The main reason you need to do this is if there's a major schedule change or upstream curriculum requirement change. Though, it's reasonable to plan to throw away 20-25% each year for other reasons.

For my classes, there's a lot of drift. I don't need to teach as much basic material in the robotics programs because I have veteran students and a lot of the knowledge spreads by osmosis. In turn, I need to e.g. figure out how to tell a bunch of 7th and 8th graders who haven't had linear algebra yet about state estimation filters this year.

Also, ... cookie cutter using common curriculum isn't great. My school purchased me the "best" set of economics slides. There's a lot of stuff I can get across clearly in a fraction of the time. There's other stuff that I feel I need to hammer harder, and have to cobble together other materials and my own creations to fill that in. I'm adjusting things for the specific class that I have (e.g. a very math-strong econ class this year), and I'm adjusting things for my specific strengths and weaknesses in lecturing to the class.

Finally, if you just try to duplicate last year's class, it's probable that you won't have the energy of presentation and excitement and effectiveness. You need to have new lessons to look forward to and some degree of discomfort / newness that you're experiencing with the class to be the best possible educator, I think.

> More like that's what socialism does. The public schools are a service provided by the government, and exhibits all aspects of socialism. Your observation that the public schools are Kafkaesque is right on target. More money will not fix them.

Again, you're not arguing with what I'm saying. I've already acknowledged we spend lots of money on schools for the most part. On the other hand, teachers from other countries with public education mostly shake their heads at what public school teachers in the US need to deal with.
Perhaps, but I’m sure there’s a forced arbitration clause buried in a EULA somewhere…
