Apple makes their money on their products and not your data. Google is “free” because it makes its money off your data.
How kind!
Let me attempt to explain what I think he meant.

Some families are dysfunctional. Addictions can be big here, but the personalities of the parents can drive this without any alcohol or drug use. Often, the families that look the best from the outside are the most dysfunctional inside. There is a whole rabbit warren that I'm attempting to not dive down here. Suffice to say, it's not uncommon and it's not obvious.

Children in dysfunctional families often become hyper vigilant in order to control their life and avoid conflict. This works to an extent, but they become trained to constantly pay attention to everything, all the time. Which is one way to look at ADD.

If you want to research this more, look up:
* Adult children of alcoholics and dysfunctional families
* Complex PTSD by Pete Walker
* Patrick Teahan videos on YouTube
I meant something else. In this case I wanted to set the margin property of an element to a certain % of the parent.
No doubt. It's clear that he could be a real asshole. I think we're well-served to acknowledge the good and the bad (i.e., not deifying him or others of his ilk).

Apple would not exist today without his efforts.
You can use wider types, maybe even floats I can't recall, they'll get lowered to the target architecture and the generated code will be in terms of narrower registers.

A 32-bit add will get turned into 1 8-bit add and 3 8-bit add-with-carry instructions. You won't even notice, unless to your point, you see a performance issue or start running out of code space.
I don't understand what kind of masochist wants to read books on an active display in the first place.
It is funny because it sets up your expectations then subverts these expectations by providing an alternative outcome that is unexpected and humorous.
IPA is quite fiddly, an older or more eager compiler could remove the call by inlining then doing interprocedural optimization
Giving you the benefit of the doubt, is it possible that’s your impression because his carefully crafted public persona is more familiar to you than his famous-but-somewhat-posthumously-so privateness?
A court isn't going to anthropomorphise computers, as you are, doing to settle the issue. It's just sloppy thinking IMHO.

It also has no precedent in it's favor. As far as I know no court has ever used "Is it like a brain?" to settle a copyright issue.
Native speaker here!

Parsing backwards:

Buzz Aldrin said (implicitly negative) things about SpaceX.

Elon heard the comments he made for the first time during a recorded interview.

Elon (implicitly) reacted in a negative/foolish way during the interview, because he idolised Aldrin as a child and was upset to hear these comments.
Always exciting to see Spritely progressing! I think small examples like this are really helpful in demonstrating how you might use it; the object capability concepts Spritely draws on, though well-established, still aren't widely known and understood. Every one of these helps me understand it a little better. :)

Still, I think Spritely is already one of the most approachable places to start with object capabilities. Looking forward to seeing where it goes!
Incredible article. Really brought mack some memories and connected a bunch of threads that have wound through my life.. especially with the hologram stuff and Santa Cruz, the national geo hologram covers and beyond.. the mention of grass valley group.. I was literally next door in Nevada city when I read the article! Cool stuff!
Has there been a society in history that so willingly sacrificed its children to the fears of the aged?
That's understandable. My question wasn't meant as a challenge--I'm assuming that most sites could transition to a static site with judicious JS to lively up things.
I am seeing way too many of these odd comments. If you're not interested in reducing your carbon footprint right now by reducing the energy necessary to pump, clean, and heat your bathing water you can keep that to yourself. Did you read the article? It's not trying to guilt trip you yet you react as if you've been personally attacked. This article is probably more for people like me who feel guilty showering daily due the relative lack of necessity compared to the environmental impact. Green energy isn't carbon neutral, just better than the alternatives and doesn't have a net zero impact. If you're saying we shouldn't worry about our energy production's environmental impact because eventually fusion will become reality, there is a long mean-time where our personal choices are still disruptive to the environment. I'd gladly introduce this type of system if I can do so with a reliable commercial product or a diy I could figure out. So this article is for people like me, people who'd also rather not have to wade through negative comments and actually get to the useful ones faster.
While you address crypto in general I would suggest that instead you go at the root of it: Bitcoin. The "customer" issue is well identified there, cash was already poised to disappear and any form for peer-to-peer exchange of value with a currency will eventually go with it. CBDCs will replace this, whether we like it or not and the writings of this have been on the walls for a long time. If you don't think this is true please observe countries which are well on their way to become cashless like Sweden or even China.

The idea "for the customer" of Bitcoin is to provided them with a digital alternative currency, an opt-in one, not mandated or controlled by a state. The previous attempts like Digicash, E-gold and few others all had the same fate and lasted very short periods of time because they did not combine a strong and independently verifiable data structure with a way to truely be the basis and incentive of a decentralized P2P network.

Bitcoin solved these issues by taking the best of many of the preceding failed experiments. This implies some compromises that apparently make you think it's unsuitable technology applied to a problem that could so easily be solved with a simple database... but that would be misidentifying the issue it is trying to solve, maybe you are not the current "customer" for it (yet), maybe you don't care about P2P transactions without intermediaries, that cannot be censored... but when (note: it isn't an "if") your government will tell you that you cannot pay for x or y with their CBDC which will be the only currency you will be allowed to earn/spend, then maybe you will rethink this position. And the minor inconvenience of Bitcoin will seem suddenly more acceptable (hopefully by that time progress like the Lightning Network will have ironed these out).

And again, do not take my word for it, observe the cases where Bitcoin has already been used and useful under oppressive regimes and in war times.
Here's a rewording of the phrase:

Go back to the time Elon learned about the things Buzz Aldrin—his childhood hero—said about SpaceX

I think this is the interview in question: https://youtu.be/23GzpbNUyI4?t=726
One of mine was to listen to more music, so I decided to start working through Rolling Stones Top 500 albums list from September 2020. I’ve finished ~50 albums (and aim to finish more in 2023, especially as I’ve reduced my podcast listening.)

Another was getting in better shape. Some months were better than others, but on the whole, I expect I’ll be down 20 pounds by the end of the year. I’ve been doing a 60-90 minute workout ~4 days a week since January.

A third was to start making YouTube videos. I started with shorts in the beginning, and started doing lyric videos in September - basically, taking lyrics from a song, feeding it into Midjourney, and then cutting it together (https://www.youtube.com/syntopikon).

One that I faltered on was meditation. I noticed the days I did meditate, I’d be more focused. I’d like to redouble my focus on it.
How is it easy? You could have a wallet that holds customer funds that you don't disclose to auditors.
I build crypto hardware wallets in the garage
self-custody is a big thing now, so i built my hardware wallet from the ground up on my own
It’s great on the iPad mini. I haven’t noticed any eye strain at all with it, is that what you think would be so bad? It seems overblown to me since most tech workers spend 8 hours behind an active display each day.
I find that difficult to imagine, but a recent one (over the past week) registered several times on the HN front page.
I can’t speak for exactly what the Fossil team meant with that quote, but I guess I don’t think it matters, because the quote isn’t fully in good faith no matter how you take it. I mean it’s no worse than a TV commercial where they make problems look worse than they are to trash the competitor’s product, but it’s no better either. You read my intention correctly, I mean that the developers of git are not enforcing a workflow wrt history (unlike the developers of Fossil). The language on Fossil’s git comparison page use to be worse, it use to say “Rebase is a Lie”, and it used to talk about how people who rewrite history are “fabricating” and “lying”. I actually had a direct conversation with Dr. Hipp here on HN where he agree to soften the language a bit, and he did, which I respect… he is listening. He does, however, believe strongly in the idea that commit history should not be allowed to be ‘rewritten’, so much so that he considers rewriting to be akin to criminal activity. While I don’t agree with that, I have no qualms whatsoever about a VCS that preserves history. It might actually be a really good idea, as long as it’s practical and can be managed and serves the purposes of version control. My only beef is the hyperbolic comparisons to git, the claims that presume to state git’s intent.
This "everyone" is waiter-speak, like "we" in "What are we having this evening?"
I wasn't in reality labs, but all the posts from carmack over the years that I could see really really pointed at him experiencing both problems. Not only that, but people publicly both agreeing with his concerns, but also questioning why he was complaining about it instead of navigating the FB politics to lead the change.
Thank you for the support! I really appreciate it!

OTOH, I understand the criticism too. Maybe I was not clear in my message, but of course the idea is not replace 100% of a person's writing with a generated AI blurb.

But more like an assistant, where the user can see more ways that the message can be expressed more fluidly and adapt as needed. And BIG YES, hopefully, by using the app, seeing suggestions repeatedly, practicing more, learning more and becoming a better writer in the process!
I don't really know much about this, but since microG reimplements the GooglePlay API.. doesn't that mean it must phone back to Google servers?

If you want privacy, I assume you shouldn't use any of these?
Google Maps on iOS asks to track your location in the background by default.

Apple tracks your location as long as Location Services is turned on.

I have seen other people get recommendation in YT solely based on IP, which frankly should never, ever happen or be allowed.
"For the vast majority of British history, Brits were only wealthy when they traded outside. The trade took various forms such as East India company,"

"stopping skilled/semi-skilled immigration. This is completely and astonishingly backwards."

britain was an emigration nation for almost 500 years, immigration had nothing to do with Britain acquiring wealth, you have this part backwards.
> When I hear people say "If only Meta would let Carmack do what he wants we'd see his ideal VR experience and it would be amazing". You already saw it. It was Oculus Go, and by every metric is was a commercial, financial, and technical, disaster.

Hasn't Carmack always been pretty clear about wanting Meta to deliver an ultra-low-cost high-volume headset prioritizing getting them in as many hands as possible? Did Oculus Go deliver this? Because Carmack has seemed to be constantly complaining about this with every germane talk he's given to date...
The answer is - there will be no FDA approved neural implants from start-ups. The government would never approve it. If you want to use it before approval, well, that's on you then.
>They blocked some links, as did other social networks, but the story was not suppressed by any stretch. It was still all over the place and everyone was talking about it in real time, on Twitter even.

Twitter's actions almost guaranteed that this would blow up, prompting the wider media ecosystem to respond to the story about the blocked tweet, letting many, many more people know about the laptop story (which anyone/everyone could still read without hindrance) to people (like me) who don't read the Post or use Twitter.

In fact, had Twitter not flagged the NY Post's tweet about the article, I might never have heard about the laptop story at all.
There are interior courtyards that presumably cannot be accessed by truck.
No it's not, you can run lots of useful applications in 64 MiB. Things we are running:

- processing data from a marine radar (it streams individual A-scopes as UDP stream), aggregating the sweeps into a .png image, denoising and uploading and handling some related logic (antenna tilt, gain settings)

- weather station pulling in data via serial/GPIO/... and publishing them as a webserver (lighttpd) and uploading them via OpenVPN to a cloud storage; firmware in the sensors can be easily updated and debugged remotely because the system runs avrdude and openocd

- emergency serial console - connected via USB to serial adapter to server, and you can SSH into it (again through OpenVPN/Wireguard), open a serial terminal or power-cycle the machine

- LoRaWAN gateway

And the best thing is that all this was written in Python! (with occasional C functions where native performance is required) So you have all the comfort of a high-level language and a full comfort of a standard Linux stack (though a bit limited because it is Busybox).
To jump on the bandwagon here- as a guy with zero hardware qualifications who likes to work on cars and motorcycles my first thought was a temperature issue. Not that I could’ve found the resistor issue, but this is not an obscure bug except maybe for pure software people.
The Mastodon version also has this testy exchange with Google's Chris Wilson, a standards manager who's also on W3C: https://mastodon.social/@cdub/109525438620997614
Brave's user agent string is identical to Chrome's by default, unlike some other Chromium-based browsers like Opera or Edge, which also list their own name.
People really don't like Windows 8.
Thank you. Sorry HN.
He literally worked to hurt people by vetoing same-sex marriage (twice), refused to supervise healthcare providers or approve a public option (again, vetoed twice), expanding use of private vehicles (he’s too old to care about climate disaster).

I can rant about Brown and Newsom for days, but he’s worse.

I recently tried to do that as well, but failed. Specifically, I have implemented AA sort [1] but for my use case the performance was about the same as std::sort in C++, for the substantial code complexity cost. I reverted to std::sort. The code is on github [2]

Still, in that particular project the vectors being sorted are relatively small, typically under than 100kb, so I have only implemented their “inner” algorithm which works on a single CPU core. The complete AA sort algorithm was apparently designed for large vectors, and uses both SIMD and multithreading. Might be still useful for very long vectors.

Using GPT-3 and Hacker News for slightly creepy market research
Performance comes to mind. If you get reports that your app is “slow” it’s useful to know exactly what the culprit is.

If you set monitors on E2E perf metrics, you don’t even have to rely on your customers telling you either.
BASIC itself was written in Assembler, with the nearest thing to a procedure call was the 'JMP' instruction. It's amazing how any of such scale software was written in Assembler. See here https://github.com/microsoft/GW-BASIC
I agree that intentional retraining doesn’t really work, but I don’t think it matters. As I said, all that matters for whether you have a job is the Federal Reserve. If you hire random people to do a computer job, some of them will just turn out to magically learn everything on the job.
Professional - Investing 30 minutes to plan at the start of each work day. I follow this system:

https://www.workclean.com/

I use a remarkable e-ink tablet and have a template file I duplicate and complete at the start of each day. I didn’t complete it every day but I think on average I skipped doing it 1 day a month. Part of the success is that I’d feel like a moron if I had this $500 tablet gathering dust.

Personal - At the start of each month I set (what I think to be) an achievable goal for activity for the month. This year I focused on 60 minutes of some combination of running/walking/bicycling. I have a chart that I fill in with a blue square on the days I make my goal and a red square on the days I don’t. My biggest setbacks were ~10 days of inactivity due to COVID in April and then about a week I lost due to some hip pain in September. Other than that I missed about 1 day every other month usually due to depression or particularly bad weather. Resetting a new goal monthly helps and creates a fresh start in case I have a bad month.

I’ve also read 76 books so far this year. I had set a goal of 52 at the start of the year. Mostly that comes down to finding things I think sound interesting, spending a (relatively) large amount of money on books, and making reading a priority.

There’s no magic to any of this. I have pretty modest goals and putting 30 or so minutes towards each of them everyday leads to pretty big gains over time.
It's a delicate balance because Apple has to support a lot of people and at this point there are literally decades of experience showing that many people, including administrators and developers, will make mistakes or bad decisions due to social engineering or simply greed (how many people installed malware because they thought it was cheaper than paying $20 for a software license?).

SIP is a good compromise: it prevents malware from gaining completely control of the system but someone with physical access and administrator privileges can disable it for the few situations where that's desirable. That's not a high bar when you need it but it probably has a 100000:1 ratio of time preventing someone's day from getting worse to actually preventing legitimate work.
It seems curated towards scientific misdeeds. Maybe non-neutral is the wrong word, but I could totally understand being upset having your name on the site.
The capital holding class includes people who could quit their job and live purely off capital gains, so it likely does not include you
An e-ink reader does it better because the front lighting is less glaring and the overall image is more stable. It’s hard to get a phone screen to the right brightness level for reading in the dark, but an ereader will have a very dim front light that you only notice when the room is completely dark.
Yes there was a special magic in those early days of home computers.

There is so much more power and information available trivially now, but we have come to expect that.

Back then, if it wasn't in a written manual, there typically was no other source of information. But that didn't stop us! We simply had to tinker with it, reverse engineer it a bit. I think that was a big part of what made it special.
I live in York, cars have not been banned. Some central streets have been pedestrianised for a long time. Inner roads around the city center can be extremely busy.
> But NIMBYs won't accept approval by-right; they want every project, no matter how small, to go through the same endless gauntlet where every interest group or interested party effectively gets a veto based on whatever imaginary impact they can think of ([insert comparison to security theater and fantastical terrorist threats]), with predictable and deliberate results.

Just because a project was approved by right doesn't mean that NIMBYs won't file a lawsuit against you anyways to find some reason to get the project canned.
Most microprocessors include some sort of a procedure call and return instructions, such as CALL and RET on the 8080/Z-80/x86, as well as stack push and pop instructions.

RISC type processors can usually store the return address in a register and jump to an address stored in a register. On ARM you can also do an x86-like return with pop {pc}.

Many large programs such the first Unix kernel, and many video games, were written in assembly language.

My experience is that assembly language seems fine when you're writing it, but it's a pain when you go back some months later and try to read it. Good structure and comments help. I just read and wrote some RISC-V assembly language and it wasn't terrible, even though I'd never used RISC-V before. Writing assembly language makes you appreciate why (and how) programming languages exist.
You can't truly turn off location on iPhone. Find My iPhone still works even if you, which demonstrate that your location is still going to them. In fact even if you turn the phone off, it still has bluetooth on, acting like Airtags.
I want to second this being both a valuable talent used for good, and a method of deception.

In the use for good case, it can also be valuable to reference the asked question and explain how it’s related. In many cases this is a good heuristic for whether the answer was intended as help or misdirection.
That “poor soul” was a senior director of marketing, not some minimum wage assistant. And violence, a bit hyperbolic, it was an underhanded toss - no one calls that “chucking” where I’m from at least.
Sure he had a temper but this is painting a misleading picture of that episode.
one or two sources for this would be welcome
Hmm if i was to make an argument to "disagree" which I feel reasonably compelled to do - using GitHub copilot to generate (somewhat working) code and reviewing it is akin to watching videos about learning to play the violin. Great for familiarity and knowing where to find said videos, terrible for competence, mastery or originality!
I agree that investors self-select partly by their ability to weather losses, which is why workers tend to trade away speculative upside for the certainty of wages now. But investors need a reason to take on risk, we need to steer more resources under the guidance of the most successful of the competing decision makers, and profit solves those problems.
That's both scary and entirely believable with the number of CVEs they have due to 90s-style coding practices.
I'm curious how this actually works. My workplace has extremely bad cell coverage and no GPS coverage indoors. I work at a satellite office about a mile from the main headquarters, but we have facilities (mostly small storefronts) over about a 1000mi radius from that location. Few employees have company-issued phones connected to the network. Whether or not we're connected (or have ever been connected) to the company network, people in my office will find that our detected location is maybe 200 mi away from our office, often in places that have none of the same ISPs as our headquarters and are nowhere near any of our facilities. The location will change maybe every few months. Currently we are showing up as being in the middle of a lake outside a town of 30000 people, though the FCC believes that area is only served by satellite internet providers. I assume our locations are being provided based on the MAC of the nearest router(s), but it's not clear why those router MACs get associated with such far-flung and uncorrelated places.
