How much better is ReVision? From what I remember even with all of the remastering it still looked VERY dated. I think people remember the first one with huge rose colored glasses - it was mind blowing at the time and revolutionary in what it inspired but unless I am wrong I imagine going back today would feel very stifling.

I think I may have tried to do ReVision hooked to my TV with a PS4 controller and had a lot of problems - I suppose I could have given up because of that. Not that I even prefer controller over keyboard - I just like sitting on the couch with a giant screen instead
When I bought FSD it stated clearly it depended on technological and regulatory advances, so I’m not sure I get the argument that I was a victim of fraud.

Also, I haven’t seen it mentioned here, but the tech does exist and currently you have to demonstrate “safe” (according to their heuristics) driving to get access. I have access, and it more or less does the things they promised, far from perfect (in fact it makes lots of mistakes where I take over for safety), but I fail to see how they promised perfection. My interpretation of the “full” in full self driving was that it handles the full list of maneuvers they enumerated like obeying traffic control and making turns, which it does do today.

Does reputation matter if there are no alternatives? For those who are looking at good quality hardware and a software ecosystem that works for basic use cases, they might have to continue to tolerate Apple products even if they introduce ads.

Not just insulting to the dev, but to users as well. Any app on my Mac being able to eavesdrop at all times when wearing AirPods is "worth" just $7k to Apple?

I'm reminded about the Apple Music passage in the After Steve book, where Apple tried to fuck over musicians just because they thought they could get away with it (zero royalty payments during Apple Music trials, so the trial was 100% subsidized by labels and artists), before walking it back. The executives are clearly far more concerned with bad PR, and not guided by values or principles.
Interesting but I'll stick to the original for as long as I can.
Portal?
I don't think Gankra is confusing them as much as asserting that a full specification should almost never be required reading for a user of a language, just like you don't need the detailed blueprints of a building to live or work there, or even to do simple repairs or redecoration.

A detailed specification only matters if you're trying to construct another building to the same spec (write another compiler), want to do heavy renovation work (implement a major new feature on rustc), or if the technical details are insufficiently "abstracted out" (say, there are exposed live wires that you have to know to avoid in daily use – cf. undefined behavior in C and C++).
> Your implicit claim to possess superior emotional maturity

I do possess superior emotional maturity over those who wield the Holocaust as a tool in arguments about computer processors for internet points... yes.

> Holocaust survivors who remain outraged

I think your interpretation of "outrage" needs updating.
And thank god for that. Because we have, as a result, an EV revolution, a space revolution, and a communications revolution. We can only be glad that the regulators were asked to back off what is openly a good thing for America.
Wrong, read it again.
The Constitution does not represent the People's will; it represents the States' will. Amendments are not passed by popular vote. The Constitution is not a human rights document; it is a document created specifically to allow the States to agree on certain baseline rights and expectations.
First, to anyone reading, please don't run that command!

I realize that:

• We're on Hacker News, and most Hacker News users will know what that command does.

• Nobody should be running random Terminal commands found on the internet without understanding what they do.

The fact remains that some child might be browsing HN, see this "automation hack", and try running it to find out what happens. There's fundamentally no good reason to post destructive commands without a warning. It isn't funny.
> A password

Key word right here. A single password comes easy for me too, if I'm on desktop and not on my phone, console, or VR headset.

The problem is you need multiple passwords, on devices that have terrible typing experience.

Whether it's a password manager or a new public key auth standard matters less, what's important is that there's consensus on the APIs so we can get these products to end users.
Was the biker the police chief's son-in-law, or some rot like that? Did the driver have a few down at the local, but didn't quite blow a 0.08?

Most hit-and-runs don't even result in jail time[1]. But sure, I can believe that hitting and killing the wrong person may once in a blue moon result in the law coming down on you like a ton of bricks.

Scalia disagreed. He says only purpose of the 14th amendment was to make sure slaves were on equal footing. If women had rights they wouldn't have needed an amendment to vote.

He's dead but at least five people almost certainly agree with him.
No, there is an executive temporary order in effect.
I think the theory is that people want to fit in (or alternatively, stand out.) If you surround yourself with people who are transgender, you may inherently want to fit that norm.

Not sure whether I agree this is a real phenomenon, but I understand the argument.
Everyone here is upset that Zuckerberg has 'gone rogue' and is spending a ton of money on R&D to a problem that won't bring investors money in the next quarter.

Literally every piece of technology you are using right now followed this model. Spend lots of money over many decades until the technology is developed enough to be valuable. Hell, VR is a technology that the federal government spent lots of money over multiple decades in research labs until they finally turned it over to the private sector.

VR has been in development since the 1960s when Ivan Sutherland put his brilliant hands on it. Look up The Sword of Damocles.

That's right folks, you are playing Beat Saber because the government spend 50 years developing the technology and components that scrapy startups were able to use to develop private VR headsets.

Now Meta has enough cash to act like a small government because it has monopoly status. Kind of like how AT&T was expected to do heavy R&D for the privileged of being a monopoly. Where Bell Labs developed the transistor. Keep in mind, the transistor at the time was so expensive that the only customer was the government.

So as long as Meta keeps being a monopoly, they will be expected to keep doing a lot of R&D.
Podman initially was daemon less, but docker-compose is a python script that interacts with dockerd directly through its rest API, not by invoking docker cli commands.

So even though podman offers a compatible cli interface, if was no help to get compose to work.

podman-compose is a re-implementation of the docker-compose spec in a podman compatible way. Like any re-implementation, compatibility issues are possible.

The main podman project instead chose to tackle such incompatibility by implementing an optional daemon mode offering a compatible to docker REST api.

If you start de podman service on a recent version, you can use docker-compose as-is. It will happily send commands to the podman daemon and from my few initial tests, everything works perfectly so far.
At young ages, I say give them an old-school Nintendo, or N64 etc. Little/no advertising, monetization of your kid's attention, whatever. If they're not on the web or at school yet, they won't even know they're missing out on more modern systems.

Or some similar setup where there's no online, no monthly charge, no pay-to-win, and instead the child gets to play a carefully crafted game, hopefully an awesome one.

I also think (offline) minecraft is great at that age.
I agree that having an integrated OS control every random co-processor in a machine would be undesirable, and that hardware abstractions are a good thing.

But co-processors that can break OS' assumptions (regarding security, for example) sound like they should be under OS control. Not that this means under control of a single kernel but, at least, under control of some set of components that are developed together.

But here's the thing about that though, when it comes to other languages which are not 1.0, various people will bash and troll to no end about any flaw, bug, or mistake they can find. Hell, even smear the developers at will.

How many times have we seen people dogging the hell out of Jai, Odin, Vlang, Carbon (that just started), and other newbies? People will dog other languages out and even compare them to 10 year old or older languages, without blinking.
Spelunky HD! Easy to understand and control, terribly difficult to master. I started my oldest on it when she was 4 and she beat it for the first time around age 6. Now she tears through it like a ninja master. She also enjoyed Bit Trip Runner 2 when she was 3-4 yrs old.
Turns out other people don't care if you're tired of something, because they're not you. Plenty of folks do care about how much pure Python has improved. That's how it got to the front page.

If you want to test baseline performance, you want a little program that's small enough to be easily understood, but just elaborate enough to hit enough of the standard programming patterns. So it's basically irrelevant what this code actually does, we're just looking at how much faster Python has gotten. Because that's something we care about. We don't care that "go is faster" or "C is faster", we use Python and we like to know that the newer versions actually are substantially better than the older versions we used to (or still have to) work with.
There's no issue of primacy between laws as GDPR explicitly states that processing of private data which is required by some local law is legitimate. GDPR does apply to state and municipal institutions, requiring them to have a legal basis for processing private data, however, local laws can grant that legal basis and GDPR would not dispute it.
Yeah there's research being done on multiple solutions. One of them is painting one of the blades a different color which helps somehow. I don't see how there couldn't be a technical solution, it's not like these turbines are on a tight budget. It could be as complex as having autonomous drones chase away birds if nothing else works.
Author here. Many will be disappointed to know that I've been using VS Code almost exclusively since 2019 (with the Vim plugin of course).

I've been meaning to write a follow-up article, but unfortunately writing is low on the priority list. The main reason is that these days, when I _am_ coding, I mostly write TypeScript and React on my local machine (not much SSH these days), and VS Code Just Works™. I tried twice to get neovim and LSP stuff working but never could, and I can't justify spending time twiddling my editor these days. And as much as I love the terminal, using multiple font sizes lets me fit more information on the screen.

(Also, I lost all the great comments on my blog somehow, so sorry to those who left them. I had Commento running for a while but it appears to be abandoned. Disqus has them but I refuse to use Disqus anymore because it's awful.)
Coronavirus shutdowns meant that our children lost out on a year or more of education.

Remote learning does not work. It fundamentally does not provide necessary environmental aspects for the healthy development of a child, even if they can be cajoled into attending and focusing.

Note that losing a year is not as simple as simply being a year behind, either. Consider spending a year completely indoors from age 25-26, say. You don't come out the same as your doppelganger who spent 25-26 living a normal and balanced life.
This is a fair criticism. That said, I have a hard time believing that anyone was literally brought into an uncontrollable rage over ME even when we first found out about it. Additionally, nobody in the comment section appears to be in such a state.

Accordingly, I assumed that the top level comment was using "outrage" defined closer to the most scathing comments posted, perhaps as "unwilling to forget about, or accept".

We have no duty or obligation to forget about or accept the risks of unauditable, embedded microprocessors with full, undetectable access to onboard GbE, memory, main CPU registers, PCI devices etc. This subsystem poses extreme risk to privacy. The fact that is impossible to purchase new consumer-grade (not $1,000+ Power9) chips without this subsystem is consistent with what we would expect from an on-chip backdoor should one be proposed (or imposed) by US intelligence agencies, which have a lengthy history of rampant human rights abuses, a mission focused on violating privacy, a history of attempting to impose similar subsystems (clipper chip, MS Palladium), and who have a clear economic incentive to develop access that doesn't require them to keep playing the continual cat-and-mouse game of software exploit development and management.

I'm extremely skeptical of the intentions of anyone telling me that I should not be angry about the fact that there is an unauditable subsystem that heuristically matches almost everything needed for the MVP of a hypothetical hardware backdoor, that I cannot freely decide not to have bundled with new hardware, solely for the reason "it's existence has been known for close to a decade".

This top-level comment reeks of COINTELPRO-esque efforts to convince individuals to risk-accept a subsystem they have zero incentive to keep, but that intelligence agencies have massive incentive to retain, should it actually be a backdoor.
I know a handful of non-tech users that have been fooled by this over the years. Destructive pranks are not funny, and you don't know what valuable data you're putting at risk.

There are plenty of amusing pranks that don't result in random data loss.
Same story here. Had my eyes on it for what seems like forever now, but without proper compose support I can’t justify jumping ship.
It sounds a lot like college and school as a whole for me. I was in a top 5 CS program, too. Entering the workforce was the first time I felt empowered by the team dynamic. Quite possibly this is where imposter syndrome comes from. Maybe I’ve progressed to my maximum level of incompetence where I am now the deadweight.
Ask HN: Is this a safe place to share?
Hi, I have a project/idea for a mobile app and I'd like some random feedback, but not so random: from people who have a sensibility to imagine the vision of a product, that can see if it has some sort of potential.
In fact I wanted to share a pitch deck on Reddit but I'm afraid someone could copy it. Of course a project shouldn't be so easy to copy but that thought is right for the final app.
For a UX/UI designer it shouldn't take a lot to build an MVP or just a mock up with Figma.
I'm just a regular person that had an idea which I believe is a bit of a game-changer.
Is this a safe place to share a project?

Sorry if I sound a bit arrogant or stupid but I really care about this idea, it's like a child, you know?
Feel free to give any advice or whatsoever.
That's right. He just wants to take those old cases out for a spin, give 'em a tune up, kick the tires a bit. No chance he'd take away some rights that George Washington didn't put explicitly in the Constitution.

> I am disappointed in your total failure to engage in rational argument

I really fail to see how one could believe it rational to discuss Mao, Holocaust, and Stalin in the same conversation as computer processors.

This conversation can only be taken as extreme hyperbole.
“Equal pay and benefits for everyone” just means shit for everyone. Cutting down people who achieve something great is tall poppy syndrome.

Focus on how to build others up and make that the norm instead.
Agreed - I actually did some real work in Horizon Workrooms today with a pass through keyboard and three large monitors streaming from my MacBook. Feels like they are getting really close. Those pancake lenses are truly a next-gen improvement.

GitHub Copilot just sharpens the focus of copyright violation. If you've ever used an algorithm tutorial to write a program you've arguably done the same thing as Copilot.
ok, should have prefaced with, miscellaneous contrived use case examples, where project metrics/usage/design intormation would provide insites about the contrived use intent / framework.

Isn't that the point of reorienting themselves to the meta verse. It is a new, unconquered land with virtually unlimited space and possibility?

Arguing against myself now: while this might be true from a product standpoint, their business is advertising, so unless they find other ways to monetize, the growth rate is limited by advertising dollars / share.
Ironically government probably mostly doesn't care. The assumption of networked systems is that they're compromised if they have any internet connectivity. If it's really important then you air-gap it, and if it needs networking then you still isolate that network.

Governments do you use public internet VPN sometimes...via accredited boxes which handle the tunneling for them and are the one point of ingress (and have a commensurate price tag).
Although I recognize that theoretically there are features in an IDE that could be useful, every time I've tried to use one I find it intrusive and slow and frustrating and confusing. I inevitably close it in a rage within 15 minutes because of some design decision that I find infuriatingly stupid.

neovim plus a couple extensions plus some Unix command line tools are just so simple and convenient.
Perhaps a bit of balance when running?
I haven't had any issues with it, so far.
Worth noting that debuggers, which frequently have complex interfaces, are generally much better suited to GUI applications.

Having a good debugger integrated with my code editor is basically the reason I use an IDE instead of vim. Stuff like Vimspector exist but are way more work to use vs. a GUI equivalent.
Exactly and it’s a quite obvious that if it sold well it wouldn’t have been dropped. Edu is a completely different market (for better and worse).

(We also have Boost but it’s much more limited IMO - my biggest gribe is that LEGO has so many incompatible systems which is ironic)
Agreed! Which is why this is a benchmark of Python, not of "running scientific computations". Of course you're going to use numpy/scipy for that. Or you start using R, if you really care. This article isn't about what the code does, there are a million improvements to make if that's what we were looking at. It's about how fast a small program that uses some standard pure Python patterns runs today, compared to a few versions ago, with some "but what if not Python?".

Because "you wouldn't write this code" applies to those examples as well. In JS you'd tap into a C-compiled native library the exact same way numpy/scipy does in Python. And in C, if you absolutely needed the fastest performance, the code would be full of micro optimizations and a sprinkling of assembler.
This one is pretty simple. If you have obese family or friends, you’ll develop habits similar to them subconsciously. Eating more or more frequently, or similar foods, etc.

Is it a “contagion”? Well, fast food is yummy and being lazy is easier than being active and fit. So there’s a significant pull if you’re exposed to it a lot.
How much is that in metres though?
So, does anyone know how I can go about measure the wind potential over a certain períod of time on my - say - balcony or roof? Any inexpensive suggestion?
I've had hit and miss experiences with Orange Pi specifically. Build quality of their boards is extremely variable, Nano Pi boards cost a bit more but they're much more consistent.

The self-driving cars report their disengagements to the DMV. The idea is simple: we don't know in what ways things can fail because this is terra incognita and so we allow certain restrictions and you be honest and we'll review if what you're doing is okay.

I think it's a remarkably sensible thing to do.

> C did not become successful because of its specification, it got a specification because it was successful.

I disagree. The need for a standard specification of what the C programming language is sprung from the need to ensure that multiple independent compiler implementations were actually compatible and supported the same sets of features.

If a nonstandard C ecosystem had to endure the pain of either targeting products from specific vendors or waste time maintaining a caniuse database of C features, the amount of wasted effort to just keep code building would make things too challenging and troublesome to maintain. Consequently, we would see gradual fragmentation both within the C-like ecosystem and in other potential C-like successors that ink offered minor changes.
