If they wish to retaliate, all the need to do is destroy their own infrastructure
Certainty is not advisable at this time.
I'd be interested to see whether people said the same about other languages with dominant frameworks now. I've personally learned that at very large people scale, frameworks end up emerging aka the common libraries grouped together into a package that everyone then adopts as the starter. Frameworks leads to standardisation which leads to reuse which leads to generally better software development as can be seen by things like Rails and Spring.
Deduplication can literally save petabytes.
Attending a masquerade was a sign of high society — all the way up to royalty.

I’m confused how that’s fundamentally different than cosplay at a convention.
I call it "propeller"
From Facebook director to Amazon warehouse worker
Philip Su tried his hand at being a warehouse worker for a few weeks and reported his experience in this podcast.
My suggestion is if this is of interest to you to identify companies that have gone through the process, identify the specific people with those organizations that enabled this, and connect with them to see if they have any specific and reusable advice.
You're implicitly assuming that the destruction of the pipeline was an imperial act of aggression, rather than a response to imperial aggression. I don't think that's a sound assumption.
Surely Google was funding this, right? 5 months ago no body in their right mind would have been investing their own money/resources into porting or building for Stadia, right?
At first they were short, and you could get one to see the format and then just try to enumerate some random numbers around that value. Without rate limit for the requests, it worked.
Even in hostile waters, why not? Doing it this way does send a message and sows uncertainty, i.e. was whoever did this able to place explosives on the second one under the eyes of several militaries?) and can be accomplished by using timed fuses.
>I was pretty firmly of the theory that his real motive re Twitter was basically narcissism, and I'm still not sure that's wrong.

Why is it so hard to believe that Musk genuinely believes in exactly the version of "freedom of speech" that everyone in his generation grew up with, that served as the impetus for much of the internet's creation, etc.?
Did the timing coincide with Dorsey changing his look into that of a Buddhist boheme?
>This has nothing to do with firearms.

Way to completely miss the point. That's an analogy that explains that manufacturers can't reasonably be held responsible for the actions of independent consumers. The manufacturer didn't make that decision, the consumer did.

Now you can argue that the manufacturer was manipulative in effort to achieve greater profit, and thus has partial liability, but do we collectively feel as angry at Facebook for all the suicides that were influenced from deliberate psychological manipulation campaigns the company performed to shift people's feelings? If so, where's the outrage?

Sacklers are an easy target because people hold bias against "old rich white conservatives". I hear more people complaining about this than I hear complaining about 3M & DuPont, who have managed to put small amounts of a known carcinogen in the bloodstream of about 99.9% of the population of the entire planet with PFOA/PFOS in Teflon & related chemicals, and then proceeded to basically change 1 atom in the molecule and create an entirely new product that thus far appears to be identically harmful (GenX) after PFOA was banned - and spun off a holding company to sell that product to completely shield themselves from legal culpability.

Where's the outrage at that? Statistically speaking, DuPont harmed you, the Sacklers didn't. Why the popular anger at one and popular indifference towards the other?

Answer: people are stupid. Stupid doctors trusted an untrustworthy company. Stupid patients trusted their stupid doctors. They're mad at themselves for falling for something that dumb. Also so stupid that many who were harmed by DuPont but not harmed by the Sacklers don't even realize that fact.
It was obvious the moment the VP of Stadia left, and already knew it was over a year before. [0]

Interesting! I didn't realize how accident-prone these pipelines were.

An accident would explain the glaring absence of an actor with both motive and opportunity.
I think I agree here. Stable diffusion is "just" an optimized version of DALLE2, which itself directly builds on the previous literature. Also, the 3d model generator posted to HN yesterday builds on NeRF. And they are all using CLIP I believe. Stable diffusion gave us speed and knowlege about how much data of what kind and quality needs to be in the training data to still generate good results.
So we'll have AI that can mask writer's identity in about three months.
I'll avoid these chips merely because they don't have support in the Open Source FPGA stack (yosys/nextpnr), whereas other chips do.
I see this argument as similar to the idea that 'bitch' doesn't have to do with gender. If that were true, wouldn't calling someone a 'dog' carry the same weight?

Let's stick with 'asshole'.
> It used to always be about "tricking" the result out of the computer by applying deep understanding of both system and problem to find the fewest, most performant steps required to yield the result.

We didn't used to have product teams as large as engineering teams. You can still engineer software the way you want, you're just beholden to some product persons idea about deadlines now. If you can turn your little unit of work around quickly no one will bat an eye (of course, we all know that's not realistic most of the time). If you dare trying to take longer than their perception of how long it ought to take then you better be prepared to discuss the "value add" of your performance minded solution as nauseum.
SD has been out for about a month and it is first gen technology. If "quite a while" was 5 years, then sure, I'll agree.

But we are one month into the experiment, and the technology still struggles to get wholly authentic looking media. I'd say it would be wise to give it a few years before claiming victory.
I think it's fair to say he was well off enough that he knew he had a nice fallback if he took some risk. He may not have actually been getting checks from his parents but I'm sure he had a nice inheritance coming.
From my perspective as a game developer, I won’t pass any normative judgement.

In a positivist view, those are hours not trying new games.

To reframe what other have already said, it is just as bad for the game industry as it is from a social perspective that people spend time this way.
They wouldn't receive offensive arms, until they did. They wouldn't receive HIMARS, until they did. They wouldn't receive fighter aircraft, until they did.

The only red lines on material escalation seem to be around ATACMS.

I'd expect MBTs and A-10s by next spring, with training over winter.
Looks fun. I assume it's just a visibility tool and there is no intention of offering INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE, right?
I actually don't care what happens in a thousand years and beyond that. I'm fine with humanity going extinct. This obsession with getting to Mars for the sake of surviving the collapse on our planet is beyond me. I find those ambitions rather cheesy.
It is mentioned in the article itself, it also implies that it is not useful for multiplayer saves.
It's not really a matter of opinion or what people think. We're already in a recession here in the United States, as we've had two negative GDP growth quarters in a row.

Anyone who says otherwise is likely just doing so for political reasons, as it's also an election year here in the United States, but to do so they'd have to literally change the definition of recession (they're trying but it's not working).
RDR2 was released in November of 2019 on Stadia.

If he played every day, it would be about 5 hours a day.

Assuming he took 2 days off a week:

152 weeks since release

152 * (5 days per week) = 760 days

24 * 760 = 18240 hours

6000 / 18240 = ~0.33

.33 * 24 = ~8 hours every day.

That's not a game, that's a job.

I don't know if they are Christian Nationalist per se but I've noticed that there are quite a few Christian conservatives on HN (relative to the userbase) compared to more mainstream social media sites such as Reddit. I disagree very strongly with their ideology for various reasons but it's nonetheless refreshing in a strange way.
The opinion this is cheap talk might be a shitty one?

Gas line works fine for years, suddenly during regional conflict it goes tits up?

A dying country whose leadership seems intent on putting it out of its misery sending its potential fathers to a meat grinder, a history of stupid big picture choices, angry at the world for not letting it conquer it might partake in environmental sabotage.

It’s a lot less on the nose than nukes; if we can’t have imperialist nation state, no one can!

The holocaust is proof of human indifference to each other’s existence. What do a bunch of old turds care about intentional environmental destruction?
99.99999% of a horrible product isn't necessary a good thing.
That’s my fault. I have two or three kernel extensions for different types of hard drive file systems and sometimes they react badly to disconnects or quirks. Apple’s Blu Ray UDF handler also needs work and likes occasionally crashing.
Google has had house ads for its own products on the search homepage since at least 2010. I'd like to see a screenshot of the "banner ad" claimed by OP. Text ads on Google's homepage are nothing new. I don't see a banner ad on the homepage at the moment, I see a text ad for "Learn about the latest innovations coming to Google Search"

Anyone have a screenshot of said banner ad?
I dunno, I always thought it made it more likely. Funding for NS2 has dried up so whose going to bother leaving their nice warm hut to go do required maintenance?
I see alot of people in my personal circle criticize gaming, but do the same watching TV/movies, reading books, etc.

One might think, well books are educational. You learn something from them. There's so many bestselling books out there written by so called "experts" that turn out to be totally wrong or mislead by giving a layman's explanation of research post book release, and 10-20 years later the same nonsense is being passed on from one generation to the next.
If this was any other game company I could see it happening but this is Rockstar who would probably see this and choose not to do it not because they can't but because they don't want to.
This was already a thing with USB PD 3.0 called Programmable Power Supply (USB PD PPS) which can request between 3.3 and 21V in 20mV steps
>Not just sanitizing, but sanitizing to US social mores.

Not to US social mores, to some weird averaged out amalgamation of Western social mores. In the US, firearms are very normal and a regular part of life, but try doing a YouTube stream or channel about them and you'll quickly find yourself "sanitized" anyway.
We have no reason to assume we even know all the possibilities. Neither Russia nor NATO are monoliths. We don't even know potentially how many actors we should take into account.
I haven't played RDR online, but I'm pretty surprised. I would have assumed it used your Rockstar account, not your Stadia account, and that you could use that same account on any platform.

On the other hand, this is what you have to accept as a possible outcome when you invest yourself in someone else's service. Stadia's existence has been shaky from day 1, so it's not like he couldn't have seen this coming.
>to further blackmail and coerce the European nations (particularly Germany and Italy) who depend on Russian gas to stop supporting Ukraine.

How? This has literally removed their ability to blackmail Europe, as it's not even an option anymore.
> doing something new that's decentralized

It exists and it's called the Internet ;)

As far as a new open protocol, again there are already organizations that manage such things.
Honestly they have the capital to take a position where they publicly state they aren't investing in the product anymore, they'll happily refund people money and work with studios to help users move to other platforms but they'll also keep the lights on for whomever wants to keep using it, unsupported.

Why they completely kill and bury entire products very quickly is sort of bizarre for a company their size.
Probably firmware/hardware.
Is the implication that one needs a postgraduate degree in biochemistry to understand that "opiates are addictive" - in a country where almost everyone has instant 24/7 access to almost all of human knowledge ever recorded?

If that's your argument, it's a miracle these people didn't die earlier from drinking bleach, thinking it was a tasty beverage.
Launch HN: Compdesk – the financial wellness platform for tech employees
Hi there HN! We're the co-founders of compdesk, a platform to optimize financial wellness for tech employees.
As former startup employees we know firsthand that equity compensation can be life-changing, but is complicated to manage.

We've created a product that allows users to understand the costs and tax implications of intelligently managing their equity compensation.

We've also partnered with top CPAs and tax lawyers allowing users to meet with a personal advisor and create a customized wellness plan to manage equity, tax documentation, submit taxes at year end, and plan for retirement through tax advantages. What are tax advantages? Many employees utilize their 401k, but are unaware of additional options like Roth IRAs, backdoor IRAs, and HSAs. The average employee is able to save $1,200,000 throughout their career in tax savings by utilizing tax-advantaged accounts when compared to investing the same money directly in the S&P 500.

Avoiding a compounding income tax has substantial benefits long term. Our platform provides optimized recommendations from your advisor and allows you to create retirement accounts and automate retirement contributions in tax-advantaged accounts tailored specifically to your financial goals. You can also track your investment progress and tax savings in real-time, all within your account.

Our tools are free to use, and our algorithm connects you to a personal advisor upon account creation.

We'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback, and you can check us out at https://www.compdesk.com to get started.

Cheers -- Landon and Khalil
How long as Mastodon been out and still no one uses it?

Obviously a different approach is needed to replace Twitter. Mastodon is a dead end.
Because they would have to pay billions for not delivering the gas due to the breach of contracts. Legally, you cannot turn off the taps just because.

Moreover, Russia can still supply very significant quantities of gas via Belarus and Ukraine, so they retain the leverage to blackmail the EU.
Yes casting still works! Just rooted my tv, my wife thinks I'm a genius XD
Yes, at ETH Zürich. I'm not a big fan of Eiffel, but pre- & postconditions + invariants are a great way to verify simple functions in isolation. Still needs integration and end-to-end tests to verify sufficient correctness in a complex distributed environment. On top of that, I really don't like strong OOP. It can be misused so easily. Multiple inheritance sounds good in theory, but just based on some Java inheritance code nightmares I've seen in my career so far, think 10s of layers of deep nesting done by misusing inheritance; multiple inheritance would massively overcomplicate many codebases. I'm very happy the industry seems to move into a pragmatic middle ground, where both lightweight OOP and lightweight FP have their uses.
$3? Sold! With the weekend ahead this game is a no-brainer for my living room/Steam link setup.
It's clearly not an accident.

It's also hard to believe it was Russia, since now they can't blackmail Europe.

Both Biden and Victoria Nuland have both publicly threaded to take out the pipelines on video no less.
From a computational point of view it would be nice to see, actually, a type that has no zero and is symmetric around it= ... -3/2,-1/2,1/2,3/2 ... It would be trivial to implement efficiently in hardware (as opposite to the checks required for INT_NAN or INT_MIN) and it would have sense in some cases (like some kinds of discretizations)

From a general programming viewpoint pervasive bigints, ints with NaN/+Inf/-Inf and bitfields would be interesting too, but I don't know if the they are worth the complexity they introduce
> unneeded exercise in mental gymnastics

Great characterization! I’ve always been confused why most languages don’t have better tools for bit vectors. They’re incredible common and it’s really confusing to have to use the underlying representation of numbers to do anything with them.
100% agreed, full stop.
I'm not going to be satisfied with USB power delivery until I can buy a decent USB kettle!

This whole Nordstream case sounds feels like a James Bond style movie when a random news plays in the background while the protagonist is doing his business and then in two cutscenes we see cities burning.

Watching these movies is definitely fun, but living 1000km from a war zone is somewhat worrisome.

Anyways, I'll move finishing my bug-out-bag higher on my todo list.
I never heard anyone call a symbol or key 'splat' until taking database courses in college (15 years ago). Instead of saying 'asterisk' or 'star' all the time, they would read a SQL query like 'select splat from table...'

I'm pretty sure that it was another class at the same time where I picked up 'bang' for 'exclamation point'. Looking back, I'm surprised that both had eluded me for so long.
What is your RAM/SSD config?
I was there. I installed hundreds of the things. I still own 2 of them.

The term "PC compatible" is about software, not hardware. It's not about slots. For instance, laptops were and are still PC compatibles and 99% of laptops have no expansion slots.

The PS/2 range ran bog-standard unmodified PC DOS and MS-DOS, and unmodified DR Concurrent DOS. It ran plain unmodified standard Windows 2, 3 and 3.1.

I put it on them. I deployed them in production. I have personally done this; this is not research or hearsay. I did it myself. In my basement right now is a PS/2 Model 80 with 16MB of RAM that runs Windows NT Server 3.51.

PS/2s were PCs.

Furthermore MCA was not "out of reach to clone makers".

I personally installed at least one Apricot VXFT server with SCO UNIX, and MCA slots.

http://insight.actapricot.org/insight/products/servers/vxft/...

There were other models too:

https://ardent-tool.com/Apricot/

Tandy, ACT Apricot, Fujitsu, Siemens-Nixdorf, Olivetti, AST, and others all sold MCA machines.

It cost money for a licence, sure, but it was not IBM-only.

The list of members was not insignificant:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micro_Channel_Developers_Assoc...

MCA lost out to VL-Bus, EISA, and ultimately to PCI, but it did OK for a while.

There wasn't really anything wrong with MCA. Its issues were two fold and relatively minor:

[1] EISA, VLB and PCI could co-exist with ISA. MCA couldn't.
[2] Manufacturers had to pay to licence it.

If IBM's OS/2 plan had worked, and OS/2 had been a 386 OS and thus been compelling to DOS users, then in 1987, the PC industry would have had a pre-emptive multitasking OS, and by 1988, it would have had a GUI too.

Windows 3 would never have happened. There's a chance that 386BSD might not have happened. Linux almost definitely wouldn't -- it was 3 years later.

Then IBM's package of a fancy new PCs with shiny new ports and graphics and memory, with a fancy multitasking OS, plus a fancy new 32-bit bus, would have been compelling.

But it dropped the ball. It insisted on the 286 being included.

At what point does a hobby turn into an addition? People who have spent 6k hours in a casino, for example, would probably be happier if they could figure out why they're doing it, and find a more productive way to address that need. Same might be true of someone who has spent 6k hours in a single video game.

[I've spent 450 hours in Factorio, but stopped soon after my partner nick named it Divorcio.]
It was pressurized but not flowing (which confounds the pig hypothesis I've seen some commenters put forward.)
I don't beg for my hobbies, that sounds more like an addiction
> What does it add to one's understanding of Kant to know a few anecdotes about the regularity of his life.

If we can build up a picture of someone from anecdotes about their life we can use this information to inform our understanding of why their work might have taken one form rather than another.

For example, Schopenhauer criticised the notoriously obscure schemata of Kant's Critique of Pure Reason by saying that it was a result of Kant's psychological need for architectonic symmetry.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schema_(Kant)#cite_ref-93
Interesting; in the unix culture splat is often `*`. I'd never heard it used for anything else.
Making those kinds of value judgements usually suggests the person making the judgement has some work to do on themselves.

The real question is: Is that person happy/content/comfortable. That's what matters, however they get there.
Thought experiment: grab a random “standard” USB C cable and answer a few questions:

- will it charge my MacBook Pro 16” and deliver the full 100W?

- will it supply data and if so, at what speed?

- can it deliver power and video over USB C and work with my portable secondary display?

Hard to call Twitter a "tech company" considering how difficult it was for them to switch to 280 chars. What tech milestones did they hit in the past 7-8 years? Muted words?
These are going to eat Lattice iCE40's breakfast.

Lattice has neglected the product line customers want (iCE), while strongly pushing what nobody wants (Nexus), quite unsuccessfully.

Meantime, GoWin released an already strong competitor to that (gw1n) at 65nm.

Now, they're following up with a 22nm family. If I had Lattice shares, I'd sell.
Because firecrackers can kill too.

Nothing is any fun anymore.
I agree that most social media networks have been cyclical, but Twitter seems to stand the test of time. Maybe not with the youngest generations, but Twitter definitely hasn’t seen the exodus that Facebook has.
He's a YouTuber, no idea if full time, but how much of your life do you spend at work?
