> Sure, 2-5% of my users are nasty/mean, but let me tell you a little secret: They are immensely frustrated with their life situation and they know how simple the solution should be.

Yours is a wonderful comment and you must be a very empathetic person.

Sadly, the vast majority of people tend to have just enough empathy to get by (we definitely are outliers!) and have a really hard time understanding that the very mean person most probably just had a terrible, terrible day or week, and lashed out on you. Yeah, it sucks and it is non excusable, but we all go through the worst days of our lives eventually.

In my experience it is wrong to assume that 5% of people are nasty, like the article says. It's a sad view of the world. 5% of people are currently blinded by life that has just shit upon them, and patience and a little selflessness would calm them down, and maybe, make their shitty day even better. And if they are complaining about something, whatever their attitude, there is probably something wrong that needs your attention.

Sociopaths exists but they are very rare, and often they just want to go about their day, not caring much about you to do anything good or bad.
Both platforms have different UI guidelines. It's more on respecting the users of each platforms.

> Makes me think politicians at the very highest level like Prince Andrew in the UK and a bunch in the US.

Prince Andrew was not a political creature though.

That seems like an even grander endeavour.

What are you translating it to? From which language?
this is great, I'm narrating my kid stories of a cat off a set of kid books but now I can inject the settings and a scope for a story, add "as a kid story" and the output comes out well formed and ready for evening sleep stories.

I can have a different story, every day, for as long as she will care to listen.
Lots of eurosceptic parties toned down their euroscepticism after Brexit (predictably) turned out to be a disaster. Front National in France is one of the most notable examples.
Articles can be flagged though. I can't recall the details but IIRC 'ability to flag' appears if you gain credence on HN (?), so newer (or low-upvote) users may not realise that exists.
This is a major part of it. I’ve left a couple jobs because there was little to no recognition for anything. I wasn't looking to be patted on the back constantly or get some award, but just any recognition would have been nice. One job backfilled the projects I was working on with like three or so internal people, as I was working on three or so unrelated projects, each "full-time". Just even awareness of the work I was doing would have been appreciated. And that's probably the sad thing. I don't think anyone was really even aware of the amount of effort and craft going into each project, although they were explicitly aware of me working on another projects.
>I was surprised to find that around 20% of listings were over $50k and around 6% were over $70k. I expected these high prices to be more rare.

This seems to be because you scraped new car prices instead of used. The used market has a wild variance in price data, even if viewing only CPO vehicles directly from dealerships. That in itself could be a whole other fascinating week spent training it on that data. It could also be that Kelley Blue Book's data is wrong as always. KBB pumps up the prices on used cars well beyond their actual market value, and I've yet to figure out what benefits they receive from doing so. It might be used dealerships gaming things. A Chevrolet Cobalt regardless of year or location sells for about $3,500 from private sellers, but KBB says they go for $6,600, or almost twice that.

I'd also be interested in seeing market location weighting for the data. I expect vehicles to be more expensive in places like California and New York compared to Florida or Oklahoma for example.

>After some Googling, I found out that this was a limitation of EXT4 when creating directories with millions of files in them.

I've experienced this myself with faulty Flatpaks spamming my drives with log files. And also Blender, interestingly. If you split a frame into six layers (AO, diffuse, glossy, alpha, shadows, Z-depth) and the animation is about sixty six thousand frames, that's three hundred and ninety six thousand images for one forty five minute animation. Often times you split the scene into three pieces; foreground, focus, and background, which triples that output to a million a hundred and eighty eight thousand images. When put into separate folders to separate each scene or shot, and with multiple renders to test or be sent for approval, it's very easy to run into the EXT4 hash table limitation for just three or four animations over twenty minutes.

Is the underlying issue still present of PyTorch using some dependencies that are shadowed by PyPI without squatting the corresponding PyPI urls? Or was this the last one?

I'm in the south of England and there's been a marked uptick in "Romanian" beggers and pick pockets over the last decade. [disclaimer: I don't know if they're actually Romanian]

There's also a bunch of lovely people. One of the companies I worked with had a remote office in Romania, and onshored a fair amount of staff, and they were perfectly european culturally.

The counter is obviously there's nothing wrong with Romanians ethnically, but there has been downsides of denying the negative consequences of immigration, which had helped fuel our absolute farce of removing from the union.

With that said, from the little knowledge I have on the issues, many of these issues are the UK shooting itself in the foot, but my point is these are not black and white issues, but rather complex issues that are better fixed for an increasingly stable Europe.

My company has hired some people for TTS voice training on Upwork. About 90% of the voice actors resented the implications that someone else could make their voice say stuff that they disagree with. But some of them also found the idea of becoming digitally immortal very attractive.

The same way some people like to put up a marble statue of their heroic deeds, others like to record themselves for the internet. In my opinion, both types of people want to avoid being forgotten and surely if you become a famous TTS voice, you'll have a Wikipedia entry...
For reference, "Abstract Wikipedia" is designed to increase access to Wikipedia information in hitherto poorly served languages (think South Asia, Africa, etc.).

The idea is to generate language-independent, structured information – "a conceptual extension of Wikidata" – that is then rendered in an automated way as human-readable text in a multitude of languages.

Yeah, but people definitely thought variolation (for smallpox) was crazy initially.

I think the idea is crazy people make the proof-of-concept, non-crazy people perfect the idea.

Love to use this for my procedural music experiments. I wonder if the EUA has any issue with that. It'd be awesome if the pitch and tempo were mapped to music pitch and tempo i.e pitch A440hz and 60bpm. I just tested text like: "one, two, three, four" and it looks like you could manually map it to pitch and bpm in a DAW.
A lot of the time the feds deliberately try and trap you into lying to them, either so they at least get something, or so they can use it as leverage to get you to inform on someone else.
Due to relatives scattered around the world, I track the time in several time zones for the last 20 years or so.

Nothing comes close to the convenience of an Apple Watch.

First, you can add custom cities to your Apple Watch, so you can see the time in e.g. Dortmund (which has my relative) as opposed to Frankfurt (which is a big city that happens to define the time zone but has no relatives). With mechanical watches, you are limited to a selection of cities that might or might not be relevant to you.

Second, the DST renders any mechanical watch incorrect for at least half a year. One of my relatives is in Brazil, where they have DST in their summer (Dec-Feb), so mechanical watches are incorrect for almost a year (except for a couple of weeks around the DST shift). Again, Moscow has moved permanently to summer time. Apple Watch has all this covered.

Third, most GMT watches with 24-hour hand have a "night/day" bezel (black-grey aka "Batman", or blue-red aka "Pepsi"), but they all separate 24 hours into a 12-hour period of "day" (6am-6pm) and "night" (6pm-6am). Apple Watch shows the actual daylight and night time at any day of the week (so the "bezel" is split unevenly).

Mechanical watches are good at many things but being able to reliably track several DST-observing timezones is not one of them. In this, nothing even comes close to the convenience of an Apple Watch.
Android's WebView and iOS' WKWebView have different implementations, different weird bugs and issues.

Edit: Plus macOS' WKWebView has a different implementation on its own.
Well, if AI is worse at art than us now, it means that we currently have a quality metric, otherwise "worse" means nothing. For an AI to get better than humans, it means that the humans are now the group that's worse at art.
The OS can't help as long as users can create files. But eco-systems (whether Rust, Go, Node or Python doesn't really matter) can help by managing their name spaces properly. The thing that went wrong here is that someone can silently replace a package in a namespace that you think is unique by overruling it through a namespace that takes precedence. Besides the obvious usability issues (this is not the kind of functionality that you would want in any circumstances) if a package suddenly gets pulled from an entirely different repository compared to where the previous instance came from and does so silently (without throwing an error and without so much as a pause to ask the user whether this really is what they want) then I really don't see what kind of OS level awareness of the world at large would be required to fix that.

The problem does not stem from the operating system level, and so it should not be fixed there, and it likely can't be fixed there, at least not without possibly breaking a whole bunch of stuff that is working just fine today.
For those who don’t know the work of Ballard, he’s worth researching as an author. A very interesting contributor to the genre.
> No, let's be fair to the author. It's a PlayStation in the sense it's named a Sony Playstation 4.

So in the sense that it says nothing interesting about the article. The PS3 originally supported alternative OS ("OtherOS" feature), in which sense doing advent of code on a playstation is no different than doing it on any computer from circa 2005.

User experience. It seems like it’s rarely mentioned in discussions like this. The sad truth is it’s usually sacrificed. This approach, as well as RN, will never give you the experience you get from native app. That applies to Standard Notes app too - it’s not great, not terrible.

I understand using RN for an MVP when you have no money. But many times I feel like the issues described are organizational rather than technical.

> If they give what seems like a very honest and thoughtful assessment, that's a good sign.

In 99% of cases, the real, honest answer is "I couldn't possibly know, because I don't know all the candidates for this job". Which makes it a very boring interview question.

The only time where that doesn't apply is a very, very tiny niche where you know all of the qualified people.

You could also see that as a prompt "pitch us why you're a good candidate", which also seems pointless, because pitching yourself is a big part of the interview already.

The Drowned World had a big impact on me.
When I practice typing and make an error, I thought that perhaps it should automatically go back to the beginning of the word. Because the road leading to fast typing is to type letters in groups, and having the muscle memories of common words might help with both speed and accuracy. The statistics could include frequently mistyped pairs and triplets, or basically, ngrams. And you can practice those in isolation.

It will be like scale practicing of musical instrument.

“Learning to Be Me” has really stuck with me.
I’ve watched this argument play out many times here, and I can see you’re dedicated to winning it. Have a quick think about what will gain by successfully convincing the person trying to help you that success is impossible.

Personally I’m really happy that I gave up making excuses and actually tried to improve my situation. Despite all your persuasive arguments and conviction that it’s all a pretty fantasy, it did in fact work.

Here’s hoping we get to see you arguing the other side one day.
Yes. Sony actually sold a consumer PS1 dev kit called the Net Yaroze. Some games made using that ended up on Playstation demo discs.
On an unrelated note. I see you are using a condensor microphone af quite a distance. You have to bump the gain a lot in order to be understood, but with condensor mics that means you will pick up a lot of noise. You can clearly hear the reflections of your voice in the room which has a negative impact on your sound quality.

You can either treat the room with sound panelling, put the mic a lot closer so you can lower the gain, but ideally you’d get a dynamic microphone. Dynamic microphones are less likely to pick up reflections and other noise, but you still have to have it up close. It is also less work than treating a room such as you were in in the video I saw.

Lately I’ve been deep diving into microphones and after hours of investigations this is what I’ve learned.

Suggestions: the Fduce sl40 if you want a budget option or the deity vo-7u for a bit higher end or a shure sm7b for yet higher end. A fifine k688 is also a good option.

I run a fairly popular mobile web app and the most common request is for me to release it as a native app. I try to tell them that the app would just be a web wrapper and that they wouldn't get any different experience than from running it in the browser, but it doesn't matter. Even after showing them that they can install the PWA they just say "I'll come back when you release it as an app".

My point is that users don't care if just showing a website in a WebView is misused technology. They want an app regardless and telling them "a website is a website" is futile.
I wish, but I don't think it'll be the case as long as Apple and Google control the mobile platform. The problem was always economical, and not technological. The tides of regulation seem to be changing, and we might get key rulings on their stranglehold on the app stores in the coming years, but it's very hard to conceive how the regulator could compel them to open their systems, and for example implement certain PWA APIs.

When I was in my mid 20ties I was writing code in C almost non-stop, they replaced me with 7 people and a scrum master. Apparently, cheaper than giving me 12% raise I demanded (around 2015).

I have some questions; hope the OP is still around!

Will there be partial application?

let appendHelloFile = appendFile("Hello");

let f = openFile("log.txt");

let f2 = appendHelloFile(f);

closeFile(f2);

I suppose this might complicate the linear type system?

Will there be a pipeline operator? I think this fits really nicely with linear types:

openFile("log.txt")
|> appendFile("Hello")
|> closeFile

This may be at odds with the no operator precedence rule.

You say that async will not be baked into the langauge. I think this is the right decision. However, will there be a syntatic sugar that can be used to avoid the "pyramid of doom" when writing promise-orientated code? It is possible to make this general purpose if done right.
I don’t think Graeber identified as a Marxist. He identified as an anarchist, and Marx and the anarchists were opponents of each other. I’ve read an interview with him in which he expresses sympathy for some aspects of Marxism, but also says Marx and his later followers got some fundamental things wrong (which is pretty much what you’d expect a left-anarchist to say)

Thinking of contemporary academic Marxists - how did I forget Slavoj Žižek. Another is the Marxist feminist Nina Power (although I’m not sure if she still identifies as a Marxist). Both, however, like Reed, are the kind of contrarian leftists who are probably more useful to the right uncancelled.
I already use TTS to listen to e-pulp fiction books, which is something a lot of people wouldn't put up with, but I could easily listen to books narrated by any of those sample voices, especially if it switched between distinct styles for each character without changing the voice. But that would still probably require human work to tag the dialogue with the right characters.
I don't think there's anything AMD-exclusive about cache stacking. It's made possible with TSV (through-silicon via) and direct bonding (ultrasonic or Cu-Cu bonding) to make the movement energy very low. You just bond the second die into some via you've left in your main die, it's relatively straightforward, just an evolution of the same HBM/HBM2 principles but with cache instead.

Going forward there will also be non-cache (and non-memory!) things bonded as well.
> Yes, there is Vendor-lock in, you can't deny that. I don't know what you mean with "user-hostile" and "developer hostile".

Anything that locks you in is hostile to you as a consumer.

> I - as user - personally ignore anything web based, if there is a native alternative, as I prefer apps that follow the HIG and use the native toolkit of the platform.

Interface guidelines and toolkit are different matters. You can write native apps that don’t follow HIG and you can write web apps that follow it.

> No I fully disagree. A good UX is only doable, if you use native components and fully follow the HIG. I have not yet encountered a good webapp that is on par with a native app that does exactly this.

What is a good UX?

> Anything web based is good for "one code base - available - but subpar - for many platforms", while native apps are "One code base - one platform, but a great experience" (Given you follow the HIG and use native components)

If I write Apple only web that follows HIG like a bible and adheres to all standards, where does it put me?

> One extremely trivial example: I don't want to accidentally delete e.g. my files, just because some app thinks switching e.g. "Ok" and "Cancel" around is nice.

That’s platform guidelines. Nothing stops me from implementing them in web app or disregarding them in native apps.

> While yes, web apps have their uses, but they can't match good native apps even remotely.

Sure they can, and they do. You probably used them at some point but couldn’t even notice they were web.
