This is a common myth. The percentage of people locked up in the US for drug offenses in general is only 20%. The share of those there specifically for possession is much lower still:

Police do make a lot of drug possession arrests, but the actual prison population who are there for possession is nowhere near 33%.
It's true that there are many large chains, it's not true that they only sell "cheap bread which consists mostly of some kind of corn Sirup and water".

One of the largest chains has the ingredients for their bread up on the web: https://malzers.de/produkte/brote

I don't think there's corn syrup in any of them; I checked a few rye breads and they had not added sugar of any kind.
Tencent joins open-source chip design community RISC-V

“Software is getting slower more rapidly than hardware is becoming faster” is Wirth’s Law, coined 25 years ago.

When I started programming, the biggest problem was the 8K of RAM I had available. This year one of my programs crashed after exhausting 500GB.

The programs do more: they crunch more data, paint more pixels, and animate the display in more whimsical ways. But there’s little to force coders to be more efficient, so they spend their time on other things.
I think you’re missing the point. I’m not interested in a business relationship with you. The point is that I need certain things to get done, and it’s not feasible to sit around and hope that enough people decide to take on my specific problems as their passion project. And if taking care of someone’s basic needs is sufficient, why would they work on my software when they could do anything else that is more enjoyable?

Base Model Tesla 3: 49K
Long Range: 56K
Performance: 62K

Fully Self-Driving is another 15K add on and there are other add ons as well. So let's say 49-80K depending on trim and options.

A 2022 BMW 3 Series goes from 42K to 57K. A 5-Series goes from 60K-74K (we'll ignore the 2 and 4 series) depending on trim and all wheel drive.

So Tesla is priced as a luxury car, and therefore is in that market -- or it better be, otherwise they need to start cutting prices.

If you look at the demographics of Tesla buyers, it's a median age of 54 and median household income of 128K[1]. So yes -- luxury market. Not Rolls Royce luxury, but Lexus/Audi/BMW/Mercedes luxury.

You still get protection from a debit card but the bank will cancel and re-issue since it's considered a point-of-sale. I've had to do it twice. Banks are required to do this due to consumer protection laws. I actually think the CC protection leads to more fraud, I've seen over and over people on this very website say things such as I'm being silly for how careful I am with my debit card because the CC company will just pay the fraud. I think it creates more risky behavior. It would be akin to wrecking into people out of spite because you have car insurance.

As for renting a vehicle, their requirements are usually a bit more stringent, things such as showing more documentation that I live where I say I live, they'll put a hold on a larger amount, but I've never been outright denied from renting a vehicle for having a debit card.

Of course, having said that, I was denied the last time I tried to rent a vehicle because they had started running credit checks and I have no credit. This despite the fact that I had been renting regularly from them for 7 or 8 years (a few times a year). Can you imagine thinking credit was a better proxy than your own records for determining someone's trustworthiness?

I've never liked rental car companies, they're all shitty in 1 way or another, but that for me was the last straw. It will be a cold day in hell before I ever rent a vehicle again.

Instead I went out and purchased a vehicle to do exactly what I was trying to do with the rental, I posted about it here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34099429#34114741

That is true, and to me the test of any ai hype has been “ok, let’s do some work with this”, usually leading to readjusted expectations. But ChatGPT was the first that gave a glimpse of passing this test, and I could imagine a successor that ran entirely locally on device and had native access to your data (assume privacy and anonymity are solved).

You could essentially build applets by taking to this ai, and it would be centered around your data. If you don’t like what it’s doing then you talk to the ai to modify it. Each applet has a forked instance of the ai and is snapshotted, so it keeps context permanently.

E.g “a run tracker: I just went for a run, show the route I just took. Graph incline vs my hear rate. Stitch together a street view version of my run, and animate any frames missing with your best guess. Make sure the weather matches today’s, here’s a picture of what it was like outside (snaps photo). Now show this run side by side with yesterday’s. (Etc…)”

Idk, I could imagine it being a big deal.

Although I have no idea how portability between applets could work. Like, if I make an applet it would be the only one in existence like it, so any networked communication between applets with interfaces would be weird/dangerous. I guess if you just stick to portable formats (text, tables, photos, etc…) and just throw it on the other side of network, you could let the recipient deal with parsing it.

Anyways, something like this gets my imagination turning, and I think this + AR is going to be a new paradigm for sure. Hopefully we get the economics right this time around.
So present your evidence of bias in the other direction or refute the evidence of bias presented here.
I could imagine ad boxes besides/between the content, in which an AI explains how this company solves your problem.

The 'main' AI could try to keep a neutral stance. So like current search engines, but more useful.
The article seems to argue the opposite of what the title says? And then concludes that programmers should be on the board?

There are companies where deep technical knowledge can guide strategic decisions. That applies to companies that are developing cutting edge technology, where the "ability" of the code base does in fact affect which products can be made. Currently, examples could be VR or AI.

However, any random SAAS where features can be developed in a reasonably predictable manner and can more or less be designed by non-technical people, I don't see a programmer adding more value to the board than any other employee that's not C-level.
> Why write in the open if you write for a black box?

The irony of this is two fold. Everyone on this thread is writing comments in the open that is training the black box. But one step further, none of us owns the content we write on HN. Since the comment thread is considered a shared tapestry, we are not allowed to delete comments which are more than a day old.

And yet we continue to write these comments.

> we may see much less information shared.

We’re hardwired to interact with other members of our species. We’re not going to stop simply because someone might monetise our thoughts indirectly.

Q: Are there infinitely many pairs of primes that are exactly 2 apart?

A: Yes, there are infinitely many pairs of primes that are exactly 2 apart. This is due to the fact that there are infinitely many prime numbers, and that any two consecutive prime numbers are exactly 2 apart. For example, the prime numbers 3 and 5 are exactly 2 apart, as are the prime numbers 11 and 13, and the prime numbers 17 and 19.

All those people that claim chatGPT or now this are a breakthrough should seriously reconsider their standards on IT or in general on telling the truth.

Using Postgres as a Message Queue
One possible reason that Google doesn't offer a blocklist is that Google only provides a limited number of results per query. Given Google typically shows more than one result from the same domain, so with a blocklist, it would actually have to devote resource to find results from different domains.
> The biggest threat to Google's business is Apple, and walled gardens like TikTok, Facebook, Discord, Reddit, etc.

I agree with what your sentiment, but I'd offer a synthesis on your point and the opposite view.

AI APIs are going to be massive boosters of walled gardens. It will be possible to build not only better walled social experiences, but also interactive and content-driven ones.

The gold rush won't be about ChatGPT, but about the APIs. And while Google may have superior underlying AI tech, no one has productized an API better thus far than OpenAI - it's simple enough that even some non-tech people are reading the docs. Also, Amazon and Microsoft have a stronger hold of the world of the enterprise.

In other words this will be a race to see who sells shovels the fastest, and Google may lose by not making as much money as their rivals doing so, and also if those shovels are used to threaten its dominance, like damage by a trillion paper cuts.

There are tons of places named Boston, yet the model assumes you want to know about the distance from US city to itself. This seems pretty stupid but I guess somehow you find the question and the answer meaningful. Care to explain your reasoning?

(Unless you are a language model too, in that case it all makes sense)

Literally the only instance where a question about distance makes sense is in a context of two different places.

I suspect that the majority of ImGui users use one of the included, ready-to-use backends. For example, I use the OpenGL one. I work around the lack of images, handling the textures myself, but it's always struck me as an odd omission.

In the end, you just need to place enough bets without going all-in. If you go all in, you always have an extreme event of losing it all and starting from scratch.

EDIT: After reading several comments on bad mental health and going into debt. There is nothing glorifying in poverty and mental illness. Take care of yourself. Knowing when to quit is as important as when to persevere. But I wish everyone a good, calm and balanced life rather than being on both ends of the extreme. Perhaps its time to celebrate mediocrity?
It wouldnt surprise me if somehow a substantial part of the population is convinced he did nothing wrong, is being prosecuted by the reptiles/deepstate/etc, and would gladly hand him over more money. The past years have shown that we cant rely on common sense.
Tolkien didn't like how Shakespeare portrayed faeries in A Midsummer Nights Dream. But Shakespeare's faeries are much closer to the original folklore - they are mischievous and dangerous and wantonly play with humans leading to madness and disaster (for the humans).

Tolkiens Elves are more like superhumans - better, more beautiful, more heroic than ordinary men. They are more like how people in antiquity and premodern times thought of the ancient heroes and kings of the heroic age.

While much have been made of Tokiens fascination of Northern European folklore, his outlook is still pretty classicist and Return of the King is basically a fantasy about the re-establishment of the Roman Empire.

I’m aware that people like to create things, but that depends on what those things are. Your offer to work on cancer software to help cure your mother’s hypothetical cancer only comes with intrinsic motivation. If we relied on that, we would not have made the progress in that field that we have made, and many more people would be dead.

My mother has cancer. I’m quite glad the scientists working on researching better treatments are actually getting paid.

It’s curious that you have such contempt for entrepreneurs on a website themed around entrepreneurship and published by a venture capital firm.

Yes I am aware of those projects - you then need to write the software to emulate the printer itself, which interprets the control codes.

We felt it was better to have a HAT which sat on a Raspberry Pi (or other SBC), so we can offer an all in one solution which is portable, rather than sending the data to another PC via USB.
I'm sure that if we've looked on the electricity consumption per person in the EU vs the US there will be a huge difference towards the US. The American living standards are vastly higher in terms of electricity consumption and are supported by a poorly maintained infrastructure most of the times.

Not the parent, but I have been hosting a Vaultwarden instance on the public internet for about two years now.

After learning about certificate transparency logs, I moved the app from a raw subdomain behind a secret URL path. Think “hello.domain.com/correcthorsebatterystaple”.

Is it security by obscurity? You bet. Does it work? Yes. I regularly evaluate the JSON logs emitted by Caddy in a pandas script and so far, no foreign party has even hit that endpoint.

It’s like an extra username of sorts you’d have to know. I’ve always been unsure of where to draw the line when it comes to obscurity. People online are viciously against it, but isn’t a password also just obscurity, if you squint your eyes real good? It’s all secrets users would need to know.

All that being said, I’m thinking of hosting it at-home-only as well. Would be a huge win in security and barely any loss in convenience.
While I agree with this, I’ve been at multiple companies that claim to have a management and a technical track, but neglect the technical track as it’s much more straightforward to define success and show progression as a manager.
Some people believed Musk stood for free speech. Either Musk is a free speech reductionist, or he isn't. Going in, some people assumed he was from what they thought he'd said. What emerged was "my company my rules" which tends to mean he isn't. As a consequence any future claim to legitimacy of comment on Twitter will need to be understood as qualified.

I don't particularly care, I'm not on twitter.

I'm not seeking to disagree with you btw. Anyone who thought he was going to make it a public square had rocks in their head, no matter what they believed he said.
How have you found focus and framing accuracy to be with the Instax back? I'm planning on picking one up for my Speed Graphic to use with various high speed lenses (Kodak Aero Ektar etc.) and I hope it's up to the task.

Usually this is not the problem... till some protocols what rely on port numbers. Like those used in audio/video conferencing. Then it's hell.

Overall I want to upvote you twice.

The only working way to provide a such thing would be to hand out the one with a mobile modem integrated, SIM inserted, configured, with WiFi SSID and password written on the case with at least 32pts. And still there would be problems.

I blame the landlords.

For example, they bitch about how hard it is to get tenants out of the house due to existing laws.

That's absolutely true, but what do they think the laws were put into place for? On the whole, they cannot be trusted to be fair. They did it to themselves.
Yes, we have also tested the HAT and software on Odroid C1 and Banana Pi. The problem is that you need to have one of each SBC to compile the software and test it - some of the GPIO pins do not match the Pi scheme, so have to be remapped.

We managed to secure a bulk supply of Pi 3B+, so that suits our market.
Same story here: complex build scripts in CMake, horrible language but at least it has some form(s) of user-defined abstraction. Tried to look into Meson, bumped into this issue, and decided against it for the same reason.

I kinda get the rationale that no abstraction primitive should drive common patterns into the standard Meson distribution (an approach which has problems too, but at least it makes sense to me).

However, seeing function definitions rejected on the basis of Turing-completeness raised serious doubts about the project at the time, and things haven't changed much on this front apparently[1]

Many years ago I worked for a big ecommerce "platform" with about 200 stores on it. They broke their checkout for non IE users for 9 months due to a shit security banner overlapping the make payment button.

Why 9 months? Well because no one gave a shit, not because it couldn't be fixed. I was handed the defect and saw there were over 150 customer reports attached to it. Total fix and test time? 4 minutes.

Asked around. Well the CEO was on fire about it, had lost several customers, had several $million on lost sales. Was anyone made responsible? No. And that's where the problem lies. Ownership and responsibility. It's up to that to come from the top down because as hard as you can try and own something from the bottom up, some asshole will no doubt screw it up somewhere in the chain of command.

Same thing at the last 4 companies I've worked at.

Oddly, I find myself more inclined to think that crypto is a ponzi scheme when the price rallies. Perhaps it's the cynic in me. I don't get FOMO, I just feel sorry for people like my cousin who bought into BTC near the highs (while berating me for telling him that it was a loss-maker). I don't see those peaks as proof of validity. I just see gamblers gambling and fraudsters defrauding.
I’m sorry but you’re quite wrong that Mantle was a simple name change to Vulkan.

The mantle API was a foundation but what came out was quite different.

Much of the Mantle team also went on to work on DX12 and Metal as well, so they have as much lineage to Mantle as Vulkan does

The comment you link to also ignores all the context of the timing, including the significant amount of time between when Metal was released and mantle was donated to khronos, and how much khronos was pushing AZDO OpenGL at the time. The post you linked is quite biased and uninformed.
Moving to high thrust is felt by the gravity vector shifting off your butt a little toward your back. There's another thing that has this effect: pitching up. The two can be really hard to distinguish.
