While covid (or the covid spike toxicity) no doubt is playing a role in the background, most is just a hospital system that already stretched. it might be not evident to people further afield, but a lot of aussies don't like to travel an hour or two to a larger hospital's A&E, put up with the long lines of people waiting, along with the waiting room being a crowded space just full of nasty bugs -- it's no hard question why people are making the mistake presently to avoid getting early treatment.

So many "smaller medical issues" are on a huge backlog ... the problem is not the present Federal or State govt fault wither, penny pinchers had been busy many many years before, that wave of BS was still being dealt with before covid arrived to make a hard situation worse. If "someone" fixes it so all the hospitals have capacity, eventually the next penny wise pound foolish crowd will rip it out again.

I speak as an idiot who in Feb 2020 got the start of a lot of strange symptoms which I now recognised were probably covid-19, after a bit of man flu, BAD chest pains, breathless, could hardly pick my feet up coupled with very sore hips, which progressed couple weeks later to hypoxia for what felt like months but was only 3 weeks, red spots on skin, I noted I seemed to be bruising myself while I slept or somehow the day before without realising, hand numbness. Feeling a bit better a month after that getting a cut while walking in the bush, wrapping it with my shirt and continued, but getting home after I felt not too much blood would end up on the floor of a vehicle which wasn't mine, noted it still had not clotted after about 4 hours though it did congeal in the shirt and the shoe. Both the Bad chest pains and cut were something which I should have ventured to A&E to get treated ... in both instances I was stupid and opted not to bother my local hospital. I still haven't to date, as they're still a bit swamped and obviously the time to go was both times something was serious and I might not have waited for a few hours. My chest pains have eased but I know at some point I need to get it checked out.
It's interesting to see a partnership between two companies with such different reputations for quality.

You might be interested in this Cooking Issues episode with Nick Coleman from Grove and Vine discussing olive oils. They discuss fruite noir, an oil made from slightly fermented olives and it sounds fascinating to try. I'd like to find some to try it soon.

You can if you are careful what you use libc for, of course you can't use most of its process management, threading, or make any reentrancy or thread safety assumptions.

I don't mean you would be likely use it if you were writing a normal application in C, but a special case like creating your own runtime where existing interfaces don't do exactly what you like. You wouldn't be using those things in libc anyway in that case.

Independent and neutral are not the same thing. The Fed works in concert with the government (Treasury, policymakers) to balance monetary policy with fiscal policy.
I don't think it's possible to ban them and if the content they generate is of quality then what's the problem? Have you read any crypto thread here? A lot of human comments here on HN are pretty bad anyways.
200M even if accurate is still a drop in the bucket considering almost every person knows all about crypto at this point and the general sentiment on the street is that its filled with gambling, scammers, and environmental destruction.

Crypto valuations are also complete bullshit considering how much "wealth" is alt coins with no liquidity. I could easily create a multi trillion dollar market cap coin in a weekend. Doesn't mean shit.
> The Fed isn't supposed to address any "issues", but simply be neutral.

What the Fed is meant to do:

> Instead they've spent a century saving entities that socialized private losses.

Yes, they've been around since 1913, about a century.

Don't get it mixed up, though, capitalism socializes elite private losses, not the blunt tool that is the Fed. Before that, feudalism did the same.
There's little point to reading ToS unless you are an attorney with experience in contract law. If you just assume the terms are "you have no rights, and you will be spied on with impunity" you'll be right far more often than not anyway.

You pay for other services (or devices in the case of pixels) and happen to get the VPN as well. AFAIK there is no way to directly pay for just the VPN.

Point being, there's not currently any extra "VPN-only" revenue and no one is entitled to a VPN because they're not actually buying a VPN from Google.

Yes. The only problems are that the control panels are incredibly illogical at best (this is one of the things I meant with the "worst ideas from both Windows and MacOS and some of their own), and often just don't seem to work or need to be used in a specific non-intuitive way. Command line and config files are the way to stay sane and get things done.
This doesn't have everything you mention, but I recently learned about https://dagger.io/ which allows you to write your pipelines as code (Go, Python, etc) and then run them anywhere in containers. I always hated that in order to test my pipelines, I actually have to trigger it on some special machine (the CI server).

Linux Kernel 6.1 Released with Initial Rust Code
I'm not sure this pisses me off "to my core", but I've seen so many teams stop fixing bugs in something because they're writing a replacement that's supposedly going to be done in 6 months and will have none of those bugs. 2 years later the V1 is still the only solution that exists, and it's been allowed to rot while everyone suffered through the same bugs for 2 years. This happens most often when a team inherits a codebase they aren't familiar with and aren't excited about learning.
There have been studies on overtime and generally this is the finding. Overtime is effective in short bursts(a week to a month) with a clear objective in mind. Beyond that returns are diminished considerably.
but I always looked at the folding "tiny laptop" form factor of the Psion series (and the Zaurus) with major nerd envy.

Personally I think the refusal to move past passive-matrix 640x240 screens seriously impaired them. Even as late as 2005, NEC was marketing thousand-dollar MobilePro palmtops with the same dogshit DSTN LCD from 1998's Jornada 680.
> even better, adding constructor and destructor for RAII

Constructors are a nuisance, and destructors while great require significant additional semantics to avoid double destruction.

C++ uses unconditional destructor thanks to ubiquitous copying and non-destructive moves, but that requires all objects to always be in a destructible state.

Rust instead relies on lexical drop flags inserted by the compiler if objects are conditionally moved.

They’re more convenient and composable than defer/cleanup/scope, but they also have more langage impact.

Obviously the trade off is defer pushes that issue onto the developer.
This remark irks me to some extremely unreasonable degree.
Let's try it. I think the second response below fails "concise" ..

Q: Write a news.ycombinator.com comment making the point that sometimes I use large language models because I know the gist but want to add examples and helpful context of my message

A: I find that sometimes when I'm commenting on news.ycombinator.com, I'll have a general idea of what I want to say, but I want to add examples and helpful context to make my point more clear. That's when I turn to large language models like Assistant. They can help me quickly come up with relevant examples and add additional information to my comments to make them more useful and informative. Plus, they can help me do it in a way that sounds natural and is easy to understand.

Q: Make it two paragraphs and concise

A:
As a frequent reader of news.ycombinator.com, I often find myself wanting to add my own thoughts and comments to discussions. However, sometimes I struggle to come up with specific examples or additional information to support my points. That's when I turn to large language models like Assistant. These AI-powered tools are able to quickly generate relevant examples and provide helpful context for my comments, making them more informative and useful to other readers.

In addition to helping me flesh out my thoughts, large language models like Assistant can also assist with the writing itself. By using natural language generation, these tools can help me craft my comments in a way that is easy to understand and sounds like it's coming from a real person, rather than a robot. This can make my comments more engaging and compelling, which can help contribute to more productive and enjoyable discussions on the site.
Your concern seems to imply that you have to be the last one to get a word in to win an internet argument, which I wholeheartedly disagree with. On the internet and in real life, replying a lot and quickly is more often a sign of weakness.
This well researched article maybe assists here.

Ok, that's unexpectedly dumb design.

I can only imagine the product manager telling HW designers that nobody cares about audio latency, everyone uses Bluetooth anyway and damn this thing must be cheaper and ready for production yesterday.
Two, related:

Not enough bottom up feedback. Roadmaps that can reflect the opportunities with high mechanistic-sympathy or address the real issues/opportunities seem rare once scale gets even mildly higher.

Product driven orgs that too often ask for quick & dirty & fast. Cutting corners is ok sometimes but if you keep doing ot, everything becomes a geometrically worsening half-baked barely-thought-out terribly-tentaclly-tangled mess, and the managerial/product class people never face it, see it, & move on, leaving the engineersired on their shit.

Quick & dirty also has a raft of personal issues associated with it. It's pretty insulting, often, as though product thinks they know best & are going to get some big savings. But 4 out of 5 times the damage more than makes up, but thats rarely admitted to or seen, and the savings never seem super significant. Also, good luck telling engineers to not take pride, to just throw shit together; I have found few respected peers who like being told that & who stay motivated when being told this is low quality whatever we're working on & to you know, just make some rough cuts at it & ship it.

The second of my two, asking for quick & dirty, leads to shit relationships & shit systems, which are major major reasons why my first issue, the on the ground knowledge of what we have & what we should be springing for & ehat we should be improving, becomes just a critical restabilization; bad jobs (or more often just accrued legacy to be honest) make it so fewer & fewer have the technical appreciation to right the hole-ridden old ship.
Yup. Dreams are too personal to be properly interpreted by an AI without the context of a person's life.

In her book, "The Cat", Marie-Louise Franz puts a lot of emphasis on associations when attempting to interpret dreams. It's impossible to do in a vacuum.

Though, to be fair, ChatGPT has given me a different way to think of a recent dream I had, despite it's interpretation being terrible overall.
>I really hope they work with a technical body on this so that we avoid repeating the same horrible "what cookies do you accept/not accept/maybe accept/accept because you didn't click customize/..." nonsense we see everywhere today.

Those shitty cookie/GDPR prompts aren't actually compliant with the law. They need to either A) give an explicit single-click opt-out, or B) opt-out by default. If the pop-up requires you to click "customize" then untick a list of ticked-things then click "accept", that violates the GDPR and the fault lies with the company who is breaking the law, not with the law itself.

Agreed, that's why I said potentially. I completely understand why a platform might want to ban anonymous comments, and I also understand why it might welcome them. Both come with risks and rewards.

(Same for for AI, btw. Some places will embrace it and some places will ban it, and both will have their valid reasons.)
The dark mode proponents have a better reason to try to convert people: so they can actually use dark mode more. It's only been fairly recently that dark mode was even an option in most things, unless you just installed Linux and used a terminal all day long. The light mode proponents have never had this problem since the days of Windows 3.1. This isn't a case of just using what you prefer, because dark mode simply hasn't been available in most software, and still isn't (or isn't done very well) many times.

It's similar to how Linux users appeared to make it a religious issue 10-25 years ago. Linux needed mindshare to be usable, or else you wouldn't have access to the software you needed to actually use Linux daily, so of course Linux proponents needed to push it hard so they could get support and mindshare. If all the software companies had "simply" made Linux versions of everything, so that anyone could simply choose Linux over Windows/Mac, this wouldn't have been necessary.
The core idea does not work for many, if not most, of the things people have promised it can work for -- but that's very different from "doesn't work."

I'd say it's still a pretty strong contender not for "cash in hand" but for a better "money in your mattress."
> refusing to do any testing or CI because they think it will slow down the team.

This is a new one for me. I found an open source project with ~40k stars that I wanted to contribute to. I thought, there are almost no tests here, so I wrote up some tests and hooked it up to GitHub actions to run on PR submission. The maintainer of the project told me no thanks. It really surprised me! I thought everyone would be grateful to have more testing, but that apparently isn’t the case.
Why should there be a law? People benefited with cheaper taxis and VCs lost their money
Yea this is the effect of keeping stories and characters way past a human being's shelf life and span of interest. Call it capitalism and milking money off established IP, I suppose.

A good amount of manga does seem to allow their characters and works to die off (with a few exceptions).

> Western comics are mostly just idea factories for films now

Personally I'm still finding interesting continuations in the recent evolution of the x-men mythos, where they have an actual nation now, all mutants included. DC comics seem to have come to a standstill with supermans/batmans in different favors and what-ifs.
It seems like if the contextual analogy here was carried through and ChatGPT were to leave its message as a comment on a Java-security thread, the same approach would apply (a few minutes of research on Google) and the provably-incorrect message would either be downvoted or commented on, just like a human comment with the same content would be.
The threat group posted the information on popular underground hacking forums, claiming access to the records of 120,000 Hyundai car owners.
Of course there is, but it’s definitely weird when the jokes only funny when it’s not easy to think of it as a real possibility!

In someways this thread sounds like the real first step in the raise of true AI, in a weird banal encroachment kind of way.
I've had an iPad (Pro) for a while now and I must say the software is disappointing. In the end, it's just a big iPhone. The operating system is so spartan, and often you just can't use the Apple Keyboard because shortcuts aren't supported.

An example: My wife always sorts the pictures of our outings. On the Surface (Windows) she did that by downloading them from OneDrive (can also be done here), then sorting the photos into folders (Files app works a bit clumsy here), converting the photos from HEIC to JPEG (for this you have to doing really weird things like copy-paste between the Photos and Files app), and then upload to the NAS and also upload to the Kruidvat site for printing. With Windows it works so much more efficiently, on the iPad it is really clumsy and cumbersome.

And then I'm not even talking about the fact that iPad, for example, is not really intended (software is limited...) for multi-user use. Apple really wants you to buy an iPad per person. With the Surface, we each simply had a personal account. The software was less, as well as the app offering, but it worked a lot more effectively if you just want to get things done.

iPadOS does excel in battery life, and whatever you can do on your phone you can do on it.

Don't get me wrong, iOS itself is an incredible OS and great in terms of user experience - but iPadOS is very disappointing.
Quora didn't gut anonymous functionality because it was bad for the product, but rather because there was a substantial cost involved in preventing privacy leaks (code changes that could accidentally reveal information about an anonymous poster) as well as a huge risk to the company and to users sharing confidential information if there was ever a data leak. The anonymous contributions themselves were a clear positive.
> This isn't really a German thing although Germany has some peculiar domestic reasons for its nuclear distaste that go back many decades.

Believe me, I know. Having lived in Berlin the amount of anti-nuclear propaganda there is just mind blowing.

> but only due to heavy state intervention

And no state intervention was used in any of the other sectors of energy. Solar for example was just this totally market driving thing where no state intervention was needed.

To talk about the energy market in Europe and Asia as 'heavy state intervention' is ridiculous, its simply totally driven by states. Its states that decide what they want to build, its states that lay out their long term strategy.

> The biggest contributor to this is not politics but simply the extremely fast falling share price of renewables.

Nuclear declined because governments decided they didn't want nuclear, solar and wind were successful because governments bet all out on solar and wind even before they made financial sense. They had good arguments like, yes its more expensive now but prices will come down once we produce more and it will make our grid green. And this was correct, but its just as correct for nuclear. Its not difficult to understand.

Had Europe spend the last 20 years collectively embracing nuclear and deployed a few 100GW hours of nuclear building 100s of plants, investing 300 billion $ in it, with a well trained workforce for and the same few models over and over again it would also very also be very cheap.

To act like this has anything to do with markets is silly.

And this is without even mentioning all the 100s of nuclear research projects that were killed up, all the nuclear plants that were scheduled to build that were prevented by protestors. In France an insane Swiss politician from the Green party literally crossed the border to shot the nuclear reactor with an RPG. All the nuclear research and education that was removed from universities as well.

There is no reason, non what so ever that we could be deploying 10 new GenIV nuclear reactors every year in Europe, had this been our policy for the last 20 years.
Maybe it’s just that my monitors are too dark, but when I try this everything just looks too washed out and I can’t really tell what I’m looking at. Switching to light mode was more a side effect of the increased lighting than anything.

More like, move slow and jump titles. When they finally did send registration paperwork to our DMV, the state had it turned around in two days. Pretty quick!
I wonder how they validate the reported IMEI was legitimately owned by reporter.
I agree with you. It is definitely true that current chatbots are relatively easy to spot. However, I think it's only a matter of time before AI technology becomes even more advanced and it becomes much harder to distinguish between a chatbot and a human. It's an interesting time for AI development and I'm looking forward to seeing what the future holds in terms of chatbot technology.

> it always feels possible to fix something with Linux. It might an annoying PITA problem, but I can probably figure it out if I care enough to. With Windows (or Mac) when I encounter a problem with the OS, I never know if it's fixable or something the parent company insists on forcing on users.

This is such an important point imo. It characterizes an essential aspect of why using GNU/Linux just feels good to me, and why I feel boxed in on the big two proprietary desktops these days.

On Linux, the problems feel like my mess, my unfinished chores. They might be annoying, but they're not an invasion.
20GW of nuclear instead of 20GW of coal actually matters quite a lot.

Also capacity is a dumb thing to look at. There can be week long streches where solar has like 5% utilization.

Of course Germany could have done what France did, there the graph looks quite different if you go back to the 1960 to now.
