Are you seriously suggesting there's a judiciary dictatorship installed in the USA right now? There's one where I live and also in many other south american countries but I never expected the US to be that corrupt.

In my opinion, the "it's just a word" mentality can often be harmful. There's a reason we use words and language, it
s how we communicate our thoughts to others and hence our choice of language is very important.

As it turns out, some words have connotations which are bad, and by using them you're communicating something that isn't an example of what you want to reinforce in a child, or anyone at all really.

So I am not suggesting that GP should be ostracised over saying 'retarded' but I think it's important to atleast question why they are using language which hurts a specific group of people that have done nothing to deserve it.

Here's a quote from a website[0] that explains why using 'retarded' in the way GP did here is harmful:

“It hurts and scares me when I am the only person with intellectual disabilities on the bus and young people start making “retard” jokes or references. Please put yourself on that bus and fill the bus with people who are different from you. Imagine that they start making jokes using a term that describes you. It hurts and it is scary.”
– John Franklin Stephens, Special Olympics Virginia athlete and Global Messenger

Hopefully that quote helps to see why no one would question the usage of 'silly'.

There is public transit, bikes and skateboards in the suburbs. That is not the case in rural areas. There was a time when more people lived in rural areas, and kids roamed about. I’d say living in the city, where there is more crime, would be a reason kids were sheltered.
More out of inertia than anything else. Family, kids etc. If I had all the time in the world i'd probably still be going at it.

Having a compiler that supports multiple full languages with required consistent ABI at those boundaries is something we really could use. Then you could have a prolog layer for things where it makes sense mixed with an Algol or ML or whatever based language for the rest of the logic. Similar to what .NET has done-ish, but wider ranging is what I'd love to see.
Developers purchase land where they get the best ROI, and as I’ve witnessed it, that means first and foremost very central apartment blocks aimed at yuppies and financially secure people over 40.

In order to get the attractive spots, they’ll throw you a very lucrative bid, which also raises the surrounding property values considerably (well, until the blocks have been finished, that is. Could take years in cities with strong NIMBYism).

To be honest, many of the newer and “cheaper” apartments in such blocks (still costs you $350k minimum) kind of suck. Small, narrow, etc.
Thanks! I’ll check it out. It’s older technology designed for classroom use and QA / UI for a phone experience wasn’t included the most recent update.

> I think the reason that you don't get a lot of pushback is that accusations of racism, transphobia, ableism, etc. are completely toxic, no matter how bullshitty they are.

I see the tide is starting to turn a bit on this, these accusations don't have the same power that they used to. Probably because of far too many "boy who cried wolf" situations.

For example, women saying that they want to keep female-only spaces for their dignity and safety are often accused of being transphobic. Many are shrugging that off and saying: if that's transphobia then so be it, proves my point. And increasingly, people are agreeing with them.
> Financialization of homes as a personal investment is a BAD thing

there's two parts to home ownership

Physical asset, which deprecates (or needs a lot of maintenance to keep its value)

Land, which appreciates, as they aren't making any more

The former is fine. If you take a wreck and improve/renovate it and sell it for more than you paid, that's great, should be encouraged. The problem is the land value. Ironically the US tends to tax the physical asset far more than the land.

Just wow. Also, English water is 70% foreign owned apparently. That sounds unsettling. Also, didn't Liz Truss's cabinet not have a single English man on it recently? Out of 22 spots not one English male. Also isn't London property like 40% foreign owned?

I'm generally anti-hype but this seems a very bad take, as others have noted.

Generative AI has already changed the game for early adopters, and this is just the start in terms of functional power and popular awareness. Days and weeks after launching in each case.

Cryptocurrency has still yet to find a convincing use case after ten years.
Thats also wrong, its the good enough for a environment. And environments are many and ever changing. A fish sweating glycol into his body, is deadly sick on this planet (well maybe except the poles), but well adapted aka fit on alot of other planets.

Finally, environments swing, for example by increasing and decreasing mouse populations, which may even within a species allow for epigenetic adaptions (good times reproduce, bad times sit on a pole and do energy efficient nothing), which then explains initial diversity and "neuro divergence" in animal popultions. Usual trigger is economic stresses.

Now lets all pray to the great sinus curve of the environment in the sky.
Hired a tutor from Mexico for about $20 an hour, and do one lesson every week. I have been learning it for a year and happy with the progress.

Please, create progressive income tax that is higher, the more real estate one entity (including subsidiaries) owns.
My prediction is that someone will create a Generative Photo app for real estate agents, every house listing will have a bunch of crappy generated "photos" of what the interiors could look like. The developer of it will become a billionaire. The fad will last 3 years and then stop as they realise it just puts people off.

I will then look back at this comment in three years time, and think "that cold have been me"...

Apologies if this is somewhat of a thread hijack, but what's the current state of "Android apps on Linux?" and is anyone aware of a guide to make this easier? It's in the state of one of those things that ought to be really easy and is probably (I'm not sure) hard due to Google resistances (as in, you used to just be able to run them in Chrome?

My use case is "my kid has a Chromebook, and along with the stupid games, there are some art apps that I see are good for her style," but I'd love to have the best of both worlds, because it really seems like it should not be that hard.

Because demand outweighs supply that's what tends to happen. The more people get paid, the more housing prices increase to capture that.

If supply was able to grow to meet demand, then that would put downward pressure on prices, but it isn't allowed to grow, and everyone other than the lord of the land suffers.
Ah ! So, that's what ticked me off :D.

This is very ethically dubious. Google is collecting raw URLs from Chrome users who turned on history syncing across their own devices, then reusing the data and funneling it through Stanford. No way Chrome users understand or approve of this.

The paper tries to justify its ethics with Google's privacy policy, which is laughable. There are so many papers about how meaningless privacy policies are. If Apple or Mozilla did anything remotely like this, Hacker News would riot.

Edit: I don't want to be a conspiracy theorist, but this post suddenly got a bunch of downvotes at the same time as defensive comments from a current Googler and recent ex-Googler. Then one of my responses below to a Chrome developer got flagged for no obvious reason. Hmm.
None of this should be its own language, I'm not sure why people are still working in that direction when it's been clear for nearly decades that it's barely possible to use as a standalone language. Like if somebody implemented Tensorflow in its own separate weird language and insisted that's the best and only way to use it.

I think people are far too constrained by adhering to what Prolog is standardized as, making sure there's literally no advancement whatsoever. We just need a more practical formal logic library or type or something for your average language without any stupid string definitions or passing literal prolog in for execution. I mean is that too much to ask?
That's entirely a California problem, not an America problem.
Learn TLA+. I have been doing the usual things for software verification like reviewing PRs, writing tests, but these are all after implementation. As a senior engineer doing more design work, I am wondering if I can do some sort of verification at the design stage.

>Unless you are prepared to cross a non-trivial barrier to remix and update the non-volatile image, you are forced to just use what you have.

All I want is a Live CD like OS for safe browsing that has an actually usable firefox - i.e. has ad block and vertical tab extensions installed.
Random spot checks of declared safety incidents + serious penalties for fraud (which this is if the companies are lying about safety incidents to avoid paying out compensation) is probably sufficient without changing any regulations in any meaningful way. No regulation is perfect but it’s quite surprising how effective regulations become when you start spot checking whether everyone is being honest.
Yea, I had a feeling I used the wrong word “compare”, but didn’t know the correct word. Thanks.

> just because something appears to be pleasurable

The comment you reply to didn’t only focus on pleasure.

> Not to mention that smoking affects only the user

This doesn’t connect. Smoking affects also people nearby (people that didn’t sign up for it). Porn only “affects” people watching and involved (both parties signed up for it).

Also look up ethical porn. I can’t vouch for all of it, but I know some people here in Europe that treat their performers well.

We largely fixed this with coffee. I hope we can largely fix it with porn.

> You may like watching porn; but could you stomach going through that meat grinder as your career?

I love sex and wouldn’t mind getting paid to have it. I know some performers personally and wouldn’t mind working with them. The only reason I won’t do it is because society will penalize me when I maybe want to become president ahaha.
California chooses who they elect for reasons other than they are effective politicians. The government’s main expertise is incinerating taxpayer money while simultaneously convincing their constituents that their enormous tax burden is a useful thing.

The fact they have re-elected Pelosi multiple times while never investigating her for inside trading is a positive indication of priorities.
You got me intrigued, so I asked the (free GPT); here’s the conversation:

Me: Can paid GPT API make calls to online data sources?

GPT: The GPT-3 API is a natural language processing service that allows developers to build AI-powered applications using the GPT-3 model. The GPT-3 API does not provide access to online data sources or allow developers to make calls to external APIs. Instead, it focuses on providing state-of-the-art natural language processing capabilities to developers, who can use the API to build applications that generate human-like text, translate languages, summarize long documents, and perform a wide range of other language tasks.

If you are interested in building an application that makes calls to online data sources or external APIs, you will need to use a separate service or tool to do so. There are many options available for accessing online data and making API calls, depending on your specific needs and requirements. Some popular options include using web scraping tools to extract data from websites, or using a programming language like Python or Java to make HTTP requests to APIs.

Me: So I’d need to build an API that would fetch data from 3rd party source, and feed it to GPT for processing?

GPT: Yes, that is one way you could approach the problem of building an application that integrates data from an external source with the GPT-3 API.

Here is one way you could set this up:

1. Build an API that can fetch data from the third-party source. This API could use web scraping techniques, or it could make HTTP requests to the third-party API, depending on the specific data source you are working with.

2. Use the GPT-3 API to process the data retrieved by your API. You could send the data to the GPT-3 API as a prompt, and use the API to generate text or perform other language tasks based on the data.

3. Use the results returned by the GPT-3 API to build your application. For example, you could use the generated text to populate a website or mobile app, or you could use the results of a language task (such as translation or summarization) to perform some action in your application.

This is just one way you could set up an application that integrates data from an external source with the GPT-3 API. Depending on your specific needs and requirements, there may be other approaches you could take.

Tail wagging the dog. Land costs wouldn't be millions if you couldn't turn the thumbscrews on tenants.

To be a little less glib, it's easy to imagine other non-profit funding structures such as co-ops and government help (dirty phrase in the U.S. I know).

I imagine a lot of the costs of actually building would decrease a lot when remove the incentive for NIMBYish building codes.

There would be challenges as you point out, but the overall situation would be much better for all of society.

I remember when dot TK domains were free… I think they came with the caveat that ads got added to every website you hosted with one… that didn’t last long though.

Learn to Juggle
> Edit: Actually since it's a structure, the calling convention is to memory allocate it and pass a pointer, doh. So it should actually compile the same.

FWIW the AMD64 SysV v1.0 psABI allows structures of up to 8 members to be passed via registers. Though older revisions limit that to 2 (and it's unclear whether MS's divergent ABI allows aggregates to be splat at all.

As sad as it's unsurprising, it does not look like LLVM (linux?) has followed up, on godbolt a 2-struct passes everything via registers but a 3-struct passes everything via the stack. Maybe there's a magic flag to use the 1.0 ABI, but a quick googling didn't reveal one. ICC doesn't seem to have followed up either.
I think, this is partially, back side of open source, as semi-commercial activity.

What I mean, nothing in this world free, and when You making something, You anyway need some close loop, to make it good, and to retain people (consumers and developers) around Your project.

Next in this logic happen strong tie of tutorial to Your library, so tutorial in reality work as ad for You.

Must admit, it is possible to be above this primitive scheme, but for this must be magnitudes better than competitors in Your niche.

Exactly; the "trust" problem is the only one that "blockchain" solves, and it does so at the price of extreme inefficiency.

As for your first statement; exactly, and to me this sort of shows the limited thinking of many "into blockchain" people. Bitcoin and money is a pretty good use-case, and I can think of maybe a few others.

But, local government control of some local things works extremely well in a lot of cases, and I can see no reason why it couldn't for an uber/doordash replacement.

My perception is that, collectively, HN hates and criticizes Google much more than Apple and Mozilla. I mean, much more. This last sentence accusation sounded bizarre to me.
Quantity has a quality all of its own when low cost and low tech munitions can overwhelm and out compete high cost high tech war machines. Also, wars with fewer to no human casualties could be fantastic for the defense industries world wide. The drones take out the other drones and all it takes is getting the government to pay contractors to build them, whether they are effective or not.

I think it's interesting that this comment and a few others call out "I, somebody who is currently on the Internet, would like to avoid the Internet more going forward"

What is it about the Internet that we want to get away from? What do we think is out there that would be "better"? It seems very hard to cut something so stimulating. Say we're on the Internet randomly browsing 4 hours a day. I don't think it's realistic to say we're going to do pushups/go for walks 4 hours a day every day. Weather, self-control, etc.
It comes from linear logic and that's as far as I know.

It's not great because it can scare away programmers who hear "linear" and think abstract nonsense. But there's not really a better name. "Uniqueness type" or "Single-use type" is too verbose. I'd rather not bikeshed the terminology too much and just use what exists.
To the extent that they probably put upward pressure on housing prices, we should eliminate them.
