You could also check out the ultrawides from Dell/LG that have 2160 vertical res. They're $1500-$2000 from what I recall and will help with sharper text The PPI will be closer to what a standard 16:9 4k offers, and though won't be as good as the studio display @ 5k, debatable whether that matters at desktop viewing distance.

Personally I won't be upgrading from my 2x 27" 4k displays until

* I can get 2x 27" 4k with 144hz+ at a reasonable price

* I can get an ultrawide that matches the PPI and is just effectively 2x screen space

* 5k+ gets cheaper/commonplace
> infrastructure that helped make him a billionaire

This is simply not true. First because Fortnite was a desktop first game.

But philosophically, I really struggle with the idea that just because something sits on the app store then Apple deserves the credit for any success.

It's like saying that Fortnite owes MS windows and Intel for their success. Sure at some level, but not in any real or practical way.

Can you imagine if Windows took 30% of all desktop software sales since the dawn of Win 3.1, and what a worse place computing would be in?
how do i add 2 and 2 in python

Answer: To add two numbers in Python, you can use the + operator. For example:

x = 5
print

This will output 5.

Well, it's certainly amusing.
I, unfortunately, don't have a solution for you. But I'm immensely frustrated by these platforms at their ability to make these processes inanely hard.
That's really cool! Thanks for sharing.
I've seen Google Maps try to direct people down "roads" that would cause problems on a horse. And some of these errors have persisted for years, despite many reports to Google.
I think I might agree with TCI.

Case in point: Why has Google had two navigation apps with entirely separate redundant teams for almost ten years?
Instead of trying to hobble their competitors with more regulations Epic should get control of a platform. Valve Software feared the Windows platform would funnel most revenue through the Microsoft Store so they hedged with SteamOS. Google was concerned Apple's vertical integration would be a threat to search revenue so they bought Android to guarantee a friendly platform exists. Ubisoft withheld their IP from Steam for a few years to prop up their own platform.
It's a productivity booster too. I can discreetly go about my business during meetings, off camera of course, without skipping a beat. And no one is the wiser. What a time to be alive!
Love to see non-employees of Twitter having access to my DMs. I don't think that's consistent with the user agreement or the privacy laws in the state of California.
After some quick research online: Plesiosaurs and pterosaurs are not dinosaurs mainly due to the configuration of their skeletons. It seems that dinosaurs have their limbs under the body while plesiosaurs and pterosaurs have their limbs stick out from the side like crocodiles and turtles.
> INTERACTIVE SCREEN PHONE

Unrelated, but imagine if smartphones today were instead called screenphones. Fun!

I think that the reason teletext never went live in NA (although to be fair CBC had some serious trials) is because of different broadcast standards. Not in "NTSC versus PAL" mind you, but in "nationally-run versus autonomous affiliates of networks" sense. Convincing many independent stations to install equipment and to update the information for a nebulous service that you aren't sure that the viewers who bought their sets would appreciate, while across the pond the cost of switching to televisions with teletext is (for most people) call your renter if they have one available for you to swap to while we BBC/IBA (the Independent Broadcasting Authority) will take care of our side, even if you're in the Channel Islands.

> What exactly is IT doing when a dev requests to install randomtool.exe?

Selecting/paying for secure repositories from legitimate well maintained sources.

Packaging the software and deploying it through some means, so all users who need the software can get the software.

Regular patching of software across many users who may only be intermittently connected to the internet.

Lots of busywork updating configurations as new teams are formed, teams dissolve, people come, people leave, new patches come out, new software comes out, have to move to a new OS with old software. Company policy or circumstances might require some tweaks.

Generally though as to your question, there’s no reason you can’t do what the IT department does. The IT department can also have such a setup and then have a dev sandbox environment you can pull random code into. The larger point of what they’re doing is building a software supply chain, and once you actually have every piece of software you’re using in a secure repository, you can do BIG things like blocking all applications that aren’t whitelisted in prod which essentially shuts down entire classes of security threats against a company, and maybe that’s what a company wants.

Maybe a company shouldn’t be trying to maintain a centralized repository and that’s a dumb idea…
Honestly, what other response is appropriate for the post I replied to? (A rhetorical question to which I already know the answer: "No response at all.")

Is that person engaging in good faith, in your opinion? A giant wall of text with a Kolmogorov complexity of maybe six or seven words, explaining how whatever happens is all everyone's fault but Russia's and/or China's, and that none of us have the moral authority necessary to question the outcome?
I feel like HN is pretty close to being the most balanced 'techie' social platform I've come across. I very often see discussions here which surprise me in that talking about them on Twitter, Reddit (in a similar community) etc would handily get your post deleted/banned/hidden. One that comes to mind is discussions about vaccine effectiveness data without either polarized extreme being dominant (ie no one acting like it's a sin to even question it and no one acting like it's some secret plot to spread autism for some reason).
> If the current percentage isn’t fair, what is?

Whatever Apple can negotiate with Epic after Apple is forced to allow Fortnite to bypass the app store and the 30% cut.

I don't know what number that is, but it's not 30% for Epic. I'm sure plenty would pay it, but plenty would not.
I had this problem often with google maps trying to aggressively optimize routes while i lived on the peninsula. Usually involving taking 7 extra turns and hopping on to 101 for a quarter mile in order to save thirty seconds. It took me a lot of extra time to feel comfortable navigating myself (and gave me the impression that a lot of things were much further way) because of the bad navigation… not to mention rage inducting missed turns because of lag or somewhat ambiguous intersections. Very much in favor of a “no crazy uncle secret shortcut mode”. I don’t need to drive through a residential neighborhood or take the exit immediately after the highway entrance or take the next seven lefts, thank you. I moved back to the Midwest where such shortcuts rarely exists and that problem is just one less.
> The gaming industry is experiencing the same hyper-commercialization that the movie industry has experienced.

I agree, a lot of parallels can be drawn between modern AAA games and superhero movies. the quest to reach the largest market has resulted in products without much in the way of nuance or new ideas. this is kinda what you have to do if you're going to spend $250mm on a game or movie. even achieving wide appeal within a single large country isn't enough to reliably make that back; you have to make something appealing (or at least inoffensive) to most of the world.

at the same time, I think you are missing just how much the gaming market has expanded since 10-20 years ago. while very successful for their time, games like halflife are very niche by today's standards. there's no like-for-like comparison between cod:mw2 and a game from the early/mid 2000s.

if you expect AAA games in 2023 to scratch the same itch as they did back then, you will surely be disappointed. they aren't designed for the same audience. but by and large, more money is available to fund development for all sorts of games today. concepts that would have been a janky mod for some other games ~20 years ago are full-fledged titles of their own now. ymmv of course, but I find that when I lose the expectation for modern AAA-level graphics, there are tons of great new games available in recent years.
Here's the full article with images: https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/what-its-like-to-live-in-...
I dislike how much many markets, including gaming, have been consolidating just as much as the next guy... but this justification from the FTC reads like nonsense to me. I think what's really happening is the FTC (as they have shown for the last few years) wants to make an example out of a big tech company and they've decided to be overtly hostile to any large tech acquisition out of the gate.

> With control over Activision’s blockbuster franchises, Microsoft would have both the means and motive to harm competition by manipulating Activision’s pricing, degrading Activision’s game quality or player experience on rival consoles and gaming services, changing the terms and timing of access to Activision’s content, or withholding content from competitors entirely, resulting in harm to consumers.

How does any of this harm competition? These represent competitive actions. MS would be forcing Sony to invest in new features/content for their platform in order to make up for lost appeal. If a consumer is "harmed" by a game not being available on another platform, then first-party exclusives should be considered harmful unilaterally. I should hope that this same reasoning applies to Sony's recent acquisition of Bungie.

And it sure is suspicious how Nintendo isn't brought up here. Nintendo's ongoing success without CoD was a key argument for Brazil's approval of the deal. How can Sony argue that CoD is essential to them when MS has offered them a 10 year grace period to figure out something that Nintendo clearly had figured out from the start?

I at least kind of understood the arguments Sony made about cloud gaming being a nascent market which MS could dominate by coupling their Azure platform with Game Pass and a few big name titles like CoD... but they don't really say anything about that in this release.

I guess we'll see if this pans out for the FTC should they choose to sue, but I'd bet heavily against them if this release is a representation of the arguments they intend to make in court.
Our genetics do tell that story.

However there is a biologic reason for male jealousy. It's a good strategy to ensure your genetics out compete others. It ensures you don't waste your resources raising someone else's children.

Female jealousy ensures that she has a provider and protector during the vulnerable period during pregnancy and child raring.

The rape and pillage strategy was probably the most successful but it's a no longer and accepted practice.

>You could both agree to not let the other watch TV and just glare at each other over every meal, but that’s going to get old pretty fast.

Please tell me that is not what you think marriage is limited to.
We raise children together.
Build our family together.
Explore the world together.

There is so much fulfillment in a long term committed relationship. If all I thought it was is watching TV and glaring at each other, then I'd hate that too. If that's how your parents or people around you treat each other, that's horrible. I'm sorry your experience has been like that.
This story is to finance, what the wormhole story was to physics.

With the Apple and Android market power, this is not really realistic.

Ubisoft could just create an app to avoid Steam.

It's not possible to do that in the mobile space.
> One big downside is losing the ability to build any commit from source without meta-complexity creeping in. For example, let’s say that you are trying to do git bisect. At some point, git checks out an older commit, but the script fails to build from source because the binary that is being used to build the compiler is now the wrong version. Sure, this can be addressed, but this introduces unwanted complexity that contributors would rather not deal with.

If it's the main concern of using a prior build of the compiler, an alternative solution is to develop a tool for contributors to automate and ease the process. For example, Rust has this: https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo-bisect-rustc
Ask HN: Is the AI Apocalypse Imminent?
I feel there is a lot of FUD surrounding AI, especially on Twitter where people don't understand the technology. I've seen posts about Software Engineer jobs vanishing in 5 years thanks to ChatGPT. Artists are terrified that they will lose their lively-hood thanks to StableDiffusion etc.

Most of this chatter I have seen on Twitter, but there are artist communities battling AI communities on Reddit as well.

I personally think that everyone will just need to adapt as it has always been, but I am curious what others on HN think.

Are professionals in for a rude awakening? Are artists and software engineers and writers really going to be replaced with AI?

Will software engineering involve product managers talking to ChatGPT instead of Engineers, and if we're still in the mix, will our salaries be substantially reduced?

Obviously the technology will have SOME impact, even if there is no "apocalypse", so how should professionals be viewing this?

What are the best ways to prepare for the inevitable shift? And what should the message to the scared / confused public be?
Alphacode's abilities are impressive but I don't have access to it. ChatGPT's abilities are good and I can use it right now. Today, I can ask it to write a simple calculator app in Rust and it does it less than 2 mins. I know 0 Rust. I suspect that giving it the right questions I can create more complex programs and in more languages. What will it be like 2 years from now? It's amazing.
Buying drugs is not the only illegal thing you can do with Bitcoin though. People who do not understand what bitcoin even is, for instance, are frequently talked into using bitcoin "atms" to send money to scammers. It happens all the time. Those are not legal transactions.

Not being allowed to buy/possess drugs is a stupid law, but preventing illegal transactions in the public financial system is a feature, not a bug. If you want to buy drugs, do it the old fashioned way - you know, the way society did it for thousands of years prior to bitcoin.

I saw a good analysis by a pilot who does this kind of formation flying (and I think who knew some of the people involved). I think this is before the preliminary NTSB report was released, so it is speculative, but his view was that there was a pretty good likelihood that the shape of the P-63 probably meant that the pilot probably lost sight of the B-17 for a decent amount of time during the turn, and that while we don't yet know exactly where the planes were supposed to be in the formation, his view from the ADS-B data was that the pattern seemed to be just plain dangerous and shouldn't have been done without vertically separating the slower planes (B-17 etc.) and the faster planes.

EDIT: I think it was this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C342dfNPCyg

But what if the "C-suite" and other upper management doesn't get it?

Ironically, I work for a large "PrintCo" on a smaller, more obscure product line. I'm the only software developer. The managers are all people coming from the ME side, and are all so focused on how to make money from their hardware perspective, they don't see that software can add value too. For them, it's a necessary evil, where things like "technical debt" are just me complaining.

My point being, people at certain levels are just clueless and I don't really trust their goals at all. Sure, they can say "make more money!" or "sell more!" but they don't always see at all the core reasons why maybe they can't make more money, or sell more. Or the things that might let them do that.
Living by any strict moral code sometimes requires sacrifice to be in compliance. Theism is not the only moral guardrail in peoples' lives.
>the serialization format is derived from the implementation and not very stable, so if the implementation changes - sometimes in subtle ways like upgrading your Python version - the serialized data isn't readable anymore.

Could be wrong, but I do not believe this is true anymore. There are pickle versions, but I believe the format has been standardized such that you should be able to freely move between Python releases.
It's my blog's domain, which I got for $2/year, what's wrong with that? We should turn up our nose at everyone who bought the cheapest domain?

Rust’s documentation describes how new versions of the rustc compiler are bootstrapped:

https://rustc-dev-guide.rust-lang.org/buildings/bootstrappin...

Stage 0: The stage0 compiler is usually the current beta rustc compiler.

States 1: The rustc source code is then compiled with the stage0 compiler to produce the stage1 compiler.

Stage 2: We then rebuild our stage1 compiler with itself to produce the stage2 compiler. In theory, the stage1 compiler is functionally identical to the stage2 compiler, but in practice there are subtle differences. The stage2 compiler is the one distributed with rustup and all other install methods.

State 3: To sanity check our new compiler, we can build the libraries with the stage2 compiler. The result ought to be identical to before, unless something has broken.
Umm they will do that for most medicine even non controlled ones now. It’s not too bad takes an hour at most
Incredible, how openly twitter gas-lights users when it comes to policy enforcement.
You should give your cat the greatest food possible if you own a cat. The best cat food is premium cat food since it is made to keep your cat happy and healthy. In order to recognize when he is ill and when to take him to the veterinarian, you will also need to pay attention to his behavior. A vet may be the difference between your cat's life and death in some instances, but the majority of more common illnesses and ailments are minor.
No.

While the prop is, uh, properly a wing, and technically hitting something with it would interrupt the airflow, they're quite strong and would likely just destroy the object, slightly damaging the prop. If it did damage it beyond usability, it'd been way more obvious in the video and with the prop breaking off.

If you're talking about the aircraft stalling, then it's unlikely as we don't see that significant of a movement in the brief second of video. Under g-load (an "accelerated stall") the buffer between the onset of the stall and the stall itself is decreased, and as I said elsewhere that while I have no familiarity with the handling characteristics of that aircraft, there's simply doesn't look like enough time for a stall to develop between when the aircraft supposedly hit a drone and for-sure hit the other aircraft. And from what I could see, the movement doesn't at all look like a stall, and from the moment I saw the two aircraft in the video you can see the intercept occurring - that's likely harder for the unfamiliar to see being unfamiliar with the concept of two disparate turning circles crossing at a point in the future, differing because of bank angle (one or even both "circles - i.e. vectors - could even be straight lines) and because of differing speeds.

From the limited videos I've seen, one pilot could not, or simply did not, see the other aircraft, either because of the bank angle blocking the view or not realizing the aircraft was there and being focused elsewhere (such as the aircraft in from of them) and simply ran into the other aircraft. How they got into that position is the difficult investigation, and Juan's YouTube video pointed out that the sudden airborne airboss directive was to cross flight paths, when they didn't brief such and rather unlikely had ever practiced such, and may not have even realized such.

Looks like what taichi(https://github.com/taichi-dev/taichi) is doing, does this support CUDA yet?

additionally how does it compare to numba the compiler for python?

looks like python's performance on ML and AI field will only get stronger.
These models are awesome but releasing them in the wild (I.e. not sandboxed) seems really irresponsible.

I hope these modes are prohibitively expensive to train so we can figure out a way to release them responsibly when they can be open.
Why is this flagged ??
This is huge. Congratulations to the entire team for this amazing release.
