I'm pretty sure this generalizes to everything. People who cultivate a persona in any sub-culture or domain seem to be a fish out of water when confronted in a different context. Take someone from the rave scene and plop them down in a microbrewery bar and everyone will gawk at the brightly colored fidgety person that has no idea what to order. Take a polished SV entrepreneur and deposit them in an Idaho roadhouse and observe as they struggle to communicate with patrons that don't speak pitch-deck. Extremely online people generally don't practice the skills necessary to communicate well in person like eye contact, conversation, or manners so you'll get predictable results when gathering them in meat-space.

I'm pretty sure a bit of googling will turn up a long history of articles of this nature dating all the way back to the BBS days. Having attended BBS meetups I know that the vibe of these gatherings hasn't changed.

All restaurants i have been to that had QR code menus either had waiters that would come to you for your order (just skipping the giving a menu part) or you had to order at the bar. Never have i seen such a order online system, probably because it would be dead easy to adversarially order food to be wasted.
A number of Lovense toys come with accelerometers. At least one of them also has pressure sensors, though that one is pretty laggy in my experience.
The core issue is that we have no idea how consciousness sparks into being. Everything we know indicates that you need something brain-like, which requires a particular set of environmental stimuli and developmental history to form.

Maybe there's another way to create consciousness, but we'll probably never find out.
On the foolishness of “natural language programming”
This isn't necessarily different from previous years. Hollywood has always had tentpole films fund these types of dramas that they know aren't going to make as much money.

The result is a fall movie season that has manifested the total disinterest of mature moviegoers, who are now unwilling to watch any of the well-reviewed/Oscar contenders.

The author then lists 10 Oscar movies.

They are not dying. The Oscar movie exists & will exist well into the future, even if people aren't necessarily watching it in theaters. Theaters are kind of a bad experience for a few reasons and the home viewing experience keep improving.
People here are quick to say these news are Western propaganda, but believe all those foreigners can be trusted. Why the same skepticism isn’t applied?

I never heard of Felix Abt, what are the reasons he should be trusted? It’s well known that foreigners aren’t allowed to move around freely, even if he has the best intention we can only say what he described are true only for the circles he interact with.

> Healthy loving homes are over rated.

No, they are not.

> A lot of the best people I know didn’t grow up in such environments.

Cool. Same here.

> ALL of the worst people I know grew up in “healthy loving homes” where parents made lots of money.

Remember that correlation is not causation.

> For example Jeff Bezos’ mom had him when she was still in high school and struggled quite a bit.

I know not Jeff Bezos and I am not so egotistic to judge him one of the "worst" people I know as such. I only know he's rich on paper and has built a large and profitable business empire. Good for him. I don't agree with how he uses that empire, and I believe that it's used for bad purposes at many layers. But I'm not a part of that empire and I also believe that any large empire falls into similar categories. Is that the fault of Jeff Bezos though? I can recognize an argument for it but that doesn't make it true. There are many (!) confounding situations such that he's could simply be a product of the people and circumstances around him. That doesn't make him one of the worst people.

Have you actually met Jeff Bezos?

> You say you don’t like children because you don’t have any. It’s that simple.

I think it's extremely presumptuous of you to assume why I do or do not like something. Your comments here so far come across as extremely, almost dangerously, naive and bigoted.

I've spent a lot of time introspecting myself to learn why I do or do not like things. I can tell you right now that it's not because I don't have any. It's the opposite. I don't have any children because I know I would not be good to them. I don't enjoy dealing with children. I enjoy typing, video games, building things, burning things, and being alone.

I know that because I grew up in a poor and abusive family. I grew up in a large family as the second-oldest of nine children. I raised my siblings myself. I saw early on how neglectful parents cause problems, how cruel children can intentionally be, and how people who could help but don't are even worse.

I've had many opportunities to work with children, forcefully and voluntarily. I have never ever enjoyed the experiences. So, frankly, your comment here is disrespectful and sociopathic. Not everyone enjoys children and you are wrong to assume that everyone must enjoy the things that you enjoy.

It does not, by a longshot. Because most people wander from their home at some point, regularly even. Pick a spot near a location that is close to where you will be going regardless (which for most people most of the time will be very close to their home anyway, since it is so convenient no matter where you are going).

That your closest dropoff is so far away is likely a result of it not being prioritized, due to perhaps home-delivery. Or that you live so far off the grid. Then of course you like home-delivery, but it is being heavily subsidized.

Neither is an argument for the default home-delivery I'm talking about.

Every Cat phone I've looked at was on the high end of pricing at the time it came out and on the older end of operating systems. I've been in the market for a serious rugged phone basically the whole time I've had cell phones and Cat has never been justifiable to me.

I lucked out and grabbed a Galaxy Xcover pro when they first came out. It's not really advertised for the consumer market, but it was also way cheaper than things I liked less that had been out for a year longer. I'm not sure if they'll come out with a new model anytime soon. I will say this thing has a removable battery, solid construction, and is plenty fast for me (though I'm not picky on speed). I'm still on the original battery and it will play music for 10 hours through my Bluetooth headphones and still have 30% battery by the time I get home. I really have no complaints.

EDIT: the Xcover does not have an IR camera. I got off on a tangent because I keep getting disappointed every time I look into Cat phones.

I think we might see more and more forays into odd-ball theories by the likes of Northrop, Boeing, and other defense contractors/aerospace companies.

With the relatively new "Space Force" spinning up, it's in their best interests to have the American public talking about these things mainstream. They want money. How else to get money? Terrestrial terrors are sort of played out. So why not dip some low-cost toes into the wacky alien technology theories?

Alternate option; they know more than we do and are preparing for something.

Either way.

> I seem to remember that a good pencil has lag on the order of 1ms (how long it takes the tip to settle out after high speed motion), but I don't remember where this number came from, so it's untrustworthy.

Not sure what lag there is on actual pencil, but there's this somewhat famous video[0] from Microsoft Research, where they test various values of input lag on a touch screen, and demonstrate that even 10ms is noticeable - but 1ms is about enough for it to feel instant. With 1ms lag, drawing on a tablet seems to feel just like drawing on paper (I personally haven't had an opportunity to test a tablet with 1ms lag, so I can't tell).

I vouch for this. Pretty solid and keeps improving. The OP is in the class of Magic Wizards of programming like Fabrice Bellard!

There are frequent updates and performance improvements. There is also a small community of active users around this.

All most all feedbacks get implemented and the OP is very responsive.

The OP made it possible to do state of the art voice recognition without the PyTorch baggage and in C/C++, pretty incredible! Its one of those rare high value projects.

Very grateful for this project and respect to the OP!

Some day if a ChatGPT open version becomes available, this could mean voice assistants that speak sense and understand the human - as long you have a beefy machine.

The current efficiency is pretty surprising, even on a low spec device it performs faster than real time.

I don't know what to say. But I'm blown away.

I expect to see more magic from the OP in future.

He has even a project for a cool sound modem that works over ultrasonic! Not new stuff, but the implementation is the most robust I have seen.

I recommend hackers here to check out his other project too and maybe contribute with testing and patches and stuff!

The pattern here is not the internet but these people being severely autistic and so they are probably forced to thrive online where they aren't having to deal with eye contact or other social queues that they can't really process. Not even sure what this was meant to be, but it should probably be rewritten to "I don't want to be an autistic person" and it would have read the exact same way. Even down to the preferred drug use being a straight up dissociative...

The Hacker News community has been very special to me. I first launched my product, Supademo, here around 8 weeks back.

I received a lot of love for Supademo. Many users from here tried the product and provided tons of feedback to improve it. Thank you for all the support; I am really grateful for it.

Today, after 400+ signups and 15 paid customers, I am launching Supademo on Product Hunt.

It would be great if you also showed the same amount of love for Supademo on PH.

For me the secret has been in managing the level of the backlight. If the screen is at least as bright as the ambient light level, reflections will not be noticeable. Kind of like how house windows seem so much more reflective at night.

In very bright conditions (like bright sunlight), the backlight can’t be bright enough. But in those conditions, matte screens suck too: they look super washed out, like there is a thick fog n front of the screen. (Optically it is the same phenomenon: diffused light rays start to overpower direct light rays.)
You wouldn't modify an integer in place. At least it wouldn't be idiomatic. Quite a few languages, especially functional, have that constraint. You can always do range-based-for:

for i in [0, 100]:
// i is known to be in [0, 100]
// the argument is known to be in [0, 200]
do_something(i*2)

If you really want unbounded growth, you need a bignum. If you want to be bounded in size but not in time, you have to specify overflow behavior. Something like (ugly pseudocode):

integer[modulo 256] a = 0;
while some_condition:
a += 1

or

integer[0, 1000] b = 0;
while some_condition:
guard if b < 999:
// b is now in [0, 999]
b += 1

The whole point is, forcing you to make your mind up about overflow behavior (and not just using int32 or int all the time and hoping i is going to be "small").
Thanks for your comment. More would be welcome.
It's good I guess if people use languages where it matters. Coming up with a real solution in C seems really annoying.
This should be possible for static languages? Since the width of the operands are known ahead of time, a wider integer can be unconditionally reserved on the stack for the result of the operation.

I'm curious which dynamic language reallocates to store larger integers? All of the dynamic languages that I'm familiar with simply store numbers as doubles, with variable width integers being handled by opt-in types.
I also don't like hot coffee (or anything too hot, soups etc.) which drives my wife mad.

Before making coffee I put a cup into the fridge so the coffee will cool faster, I have not issues with cold coffee, I just don't want to wait that long.

I also used to add ice to coffee, but that was diluting it.
OpenCL would be appreciated much... Opens the door to use this on many more low powered devices but, it could be very difficult as you have already mentioned.

A lot of people on HN are poking holes in ChatGPT when they find something it does wrong. I have to imagine 20-ish years ago we’d be complaining about questions we tried that Google failed to give a good result for.

> For example, ask it to give you a minizinc model for the 8 queens problem.

But even a normal software engineer, is likely to confidently fail as something as niche as this. What percent of anyones work consists of questions like this? Even for the people who do encounter it, I’m willing to say not very much……

This doesn’t even take into account the state of this technology in 2,3, 10 years. A lot of people denying every advancement in this stuff are going to be saying it all the way into their obsolescence.

> Stashes of arms were maintained in various parts of the [US], ready to be used in the case of an armed conflict.

It would be ironic if pred(FSB) [in line with techniques used by the Tsar's Охрана, pred(pred(FSB))] had been using anti-communist groups to gather and stash arms for their ultimate use! (almost as ironic as a farmer fattening hogs, ultimately for schnitzel?)

Putting on my tinfoil hat, a grand conspiracy theory along these lines would involve the pred(FSB) first cancelling both Kennedy and Хрущёв to prevent rapproachment, then electing Reagan in 1984 to shatter detente and turn the US away from western european democracy, in the hopes he would bring down the state and party (which had a distressing tendency to promote Gorby types?) for which they worked, enabling them, at long last, to install one of their own as leader of the FSU... Nah, that's crazy talk! </tinfoil>

I really like Dex, at least the idea of it. I've been trying to work off my phone for a few years now, my first attempt was with the Galaxy S6, some version of container linux, and a raspberry pi with X11 forwarding as screen. It was brilliant, though a little underpowered.

My main issue with Dex is the perennity of the system. Is Samsung going to keep pushing this, or will a native android version takeover? Or maybe at some point they'll say "well that didn't work out" and abandon it completely?

I want to believe!

Every year I get closer to being able to do my work completely off a phone. I also think 8GB of RAM is plenty. Most administrative tasks can be done on that, and for the heavy tasks, you could always leverage a remote server. Think of github codespaces, or modern virtual machines in the cloud. Sure, you need internet, but don't you always, for this kind of workload?

Yeah, yeah, I want to believe :)

It's not unreasonable to assume we are alone. We have no evidence that we aren't. For me that's the strongest claim. What I'm saying is that not seeing any evidence doesn't reduce the probability of no other intelligent life existing that much. There is still a lot of unknowns and we are sort of still in the early phases of the universe, all things considered.
Relationships are transactional. Not every single one of them, but a would say a majority. Money is not a sufficient requirement, but it is a necessary one for sure.

> You hear it all the time—“the internet is horrible, but.” But I can learn so much. I need it for work. All my friends are online

But these are not the Internet's problem, rather edge forums/social media problems, however I recognize that for many people, the internet is just social media at this point.

A true internet person should be one who uses it frequently, that would probably be a software developer, yet most of the time they aren't as crazy as these people.

And then you notice that recently there was an article pointing out that "software is IO-bound anyway" is no longer true, and this claim - for the first time since I remember - wasn't laughed out of the room. I await a more detailed study, but it seems quite likely the article was correct: IO is quite fast these days, and software is likely to be CPU-bound, particularly on parsing stuff as it's being read and operated on.
I suppose a lot depends on how we define 'world' and 'open source'. Still, there is an argument to be had ( and what FSF advocates ) about benefits of open software. "Closed source" is absolutely a compelling reason and, from where I sit, companies and organizations across the globe have shown time and again that they simply cannot be trusted and will engage in 'goodwill withdrawal' when convenient.

<< Most of the planet is using some form of closed source web browser the top 3 being Chrome, Safari, or Edge.

Sadly, I personally believe popularity is a bad reason to advocate for technology. I kinda buy your argument that 'closed source' is not inherently bad ( edit: but it does require trust hence my first paragraph ).
Git is decentralised in the way that you can link together separate git instances, but the git repository itself is stored in a single file structure on your file system.

Opera (the European one) was a decent company, and much, much more ethical than Google or Apple (in not using weasel words, and false assurance to data mine your personal data). The founder sold Opera (a really big mistake in my opinion) and started Vivaldi browser with a Chromium base. I'd still trust Vivaldi over Google and Apple anytime. That said, it is disappointing that their browser always phones home (and to Google too, last I remember) and they do not give you an option to disable that (unless you use some powerful application firewall), and so I avoid it. And Vivaldi still has miles to go before it can even barely touch the innovations that happened at Opera.

It isn't just looking at hex ... until it is.

I used to work on a medium-model kernel back in the 8086 days. When somebody brought me a crash-dump to look at, one process I'd use is to just page through the kernel data segment, watching the hex go by and relaxing my mind.

As often as not I'd see the corrupt data go by. A string copied where no strings should be. A zero in a dense table that should not have any zeroes. A block duplicated.

Whatever it was, your brain can pattern match way more than we imagine it can.
