Yeah sure, we have seen the result of the anti-population growth movement in the west, western governments tripping over each other to attract immigrants and convince people to have kids.

And from an immigrants perspective, that's actually great!

Humanity won't stop because of climate change, we will simply adapt and re-order our lives to live with it, just how you think its impossible to live in 50 Celsius, yet people in the Arab gulf do so for most of the year.

In my opinion the reason why programming interviews are the way they are is that they are primarily testing for a kind of person rather than programming ability. They are testing for the kind of person that is willing to jump through hoops.

How will the remaining uplift affect the Scandinavian landscape? (2020)
Inspired by the recent post[1] about the land below Antarctica looks like, I wondered how the Scandinavian peninsula might look after it finishes the post-glacial uplifting.

I mean, if your board has a fixed zoom level you have to fix a certain precision
Thank you! I was wondering why it looked so different from any other landmass, with the land being so much "sparser".

The end of the 7-second animated video on your link shows a landmass that looks much more like the rest of the Earth.

Utterly fascinating to see a "hidden continent" like this -- I'm so used to unfamiliar maps being fantasy (like Westeros from Game of Thrones), so it's quite remarkable to see an unfamiliar map that is on our very planet.
in computer graphics, some people try to accumulate the transformations in 1 matrix. So A_{n+1} = T_{n} * A_{n}
where T_{n} is a small transformation like a rotation around an axis

They learn by experience that they also slowly accumulate errors and end up with a transformation matrix A that's no longer orthogonal and will skew the image.

Or people try to solve large lineair systems of floating points with a naive Gaussian elimination approx and end up with noise. Same with naive iterative eigen vector calculations.
the same way you prove that someone plagiarized anyone else. You demonstrate that the text was reproduced, in this case probably by checking the assignment with ChatGPT themselves and comparing it to student answers.

ChatGPT has a very verbose, uncanney valley style to it that likely sounded like nothing the student had organically submitted before, it's not that hard to tell.
One of the things WotC has in its favor is that it owns D&D the label, and that there are now .... let's count:

ChainMail

OD&D

Advanced D&D

BECMI

AD&D 2.0

D&D3

D&D3.5

D&D4

D&D5

That's about nine versions. Yet they fundamentally make money on generational turnover: another bunch of grade and high schoolers reach the RPG demographic and someone buys them "the latest D&D". No one is going to wade through nine previous versions of D&D and figure out which one they want to use, not before a large amount of the "new gen" is on whatever re-splat they've published.

RE-generationalizing actually doesn't dilute the brand anymore, it actually increases and sustains it paradoxically.

I'm glad there will be a legal battle over it, might formalize it more for the neckbeard people that kind of are the foundation for RPG across generations. OGL doesn't really do anything for grassroots people. This is a fight between corporations.

Also, is the OGL/SRD just for 3.0 mechanics and stat blocks? I would think it would be effortless for WOTC to simply re-license at any generational break, which they've already done themselves about 3.5 times (yuk yuk).

I mean, what is needed by the community at this point? Just the rough Gygax notion of dungeon, elf, dwarf, orc, goblin, dragon, undead, cleric, wizard, Vancian magic, thief skills is generally open source? Is that already the case with Tolkien and other fantasy fiction prior art? Do MMORPGs or console RPGs pay any royalty for the use of those concepts (and they use all of them ... A LOT!)?
For future, consider moving some of your secret sauce out of your app and into a cloud service. That way, you'll have opportunity to validate the license and key parts of your IP aren't open to reverse engineering.

Usually the President does propose a budget. I believe the proposal is more of a "suggestion" from the President that congress can take into consideration when doing the actual budgeting bills. So the person you responded to is correct. Presidents do generally propose a budget, but it should not be confused with the actual budget that goes into effect.

https://www.cbo.gov/topics/budget/presidents-budget

https://www.senate.gov/reference/reference_index_subjects/Bu...

"The president submits a budget to Congress by the first Monday in February every year. The budget contains estimates of federal government income and spending for the upcoming fiscal year and also recommends funding levels for the federal government. Congress then must pass appropriations bills based on the president's recommendations and Congressional priorities. If Congress does not pass all appropriations measures by the start of the fiscal year (October 1), it has to enact a continuing resolution to keep the government running."
In some alternate timeline an enterprising person at OpenAI has written a memo in which they requested a new service to be implemented. This service hashes all generated responses before they are sent to the end user and saves each hash in a db somewhere. After OpenAI’s products have become popular enough that plagiarism is a valid concern, OpenAI releases their (paid) generated response history API which allows you to provide a hash and get a response as to whether or not it exists in their database. This puts a stop to 85% of all low effort plagiarism and earns OpenAI a decent additional revenue stream.

I'm thinking Centaurs.

Well, the chess kind [0] at least. Basically, you combine an AI and a human to get really amazing chess playing.

Same thing, but with all the image and chat AIs.

Example: You're a film student and are trying to work on costume design. You got no budget, but a lot of time and friends with some sewing machines and leftover Burning Man parts. You take a look at something like Jodorowsky’s Tron [1] and say 'Holy crap, that head gear is super wild and I know how to make something like that!' So you pay $10 for MidJourney, get Jodorowsky’s Tron going, put in the supplies you got, and you get some stuff you can actually make. Not only can you get the outlines of the hats and head gear, but you also get an idea of the lighting, the lenses, the farming, etc. You get the cool aesthetic you're looking for and how to actually film it too. You get the A, natch.

Sure, you can work it out with pencils and felt beforehand, just like they were doing in 2010. But now? You've shortened the time, you can play with the lighting and lenses and framing, you can change the actors out, etc. You'd have gotten there by yourself eventually, but with the AI you've shortened the time and exhaustion.

I'm super pumped for the creativity that AIs will unleash. Let's use the tools and FLY!

Having a lifetime license does not remove whatever DRM they have in place...
Ok, so this is just OSX-KVM with extra steps. Seems like a very weird use case for Docker, but okay.
Basically, we pay a higher price per player than Spotify pays per listener, which closes out with the unit economics of indie game sales. Whereas Spotify represented a huge drop in revenue per listener to artists (before piracy), we are keeping the revenue per player the same if not more (for replayable games, shorter games are still a challenge).
USB binding is fairly easy to bypass. Not script-kiddy level, granted, but it's still a matter of trampolining several API calls and then faking a presence of authorized USB device. At least on Windows.

The reason yours wasn't cracked is the lack of interest on skilled crackers' part.
Clang support for AVX-512 intrinsics is pretty broken
The way it's constructed is very impressive but it doesn't (to the best of my knowledge and understanding) have the concept of "this is correct and this is incorrect" that you have - or any kind of analogy to it whatsoever. (NB this does not mean it has no internal analogy to a concept or to correctness. It's just under no obligation to be like yours if it does.)

There seem to be a fair number of humans of whom I could say the same. As with the humans, the question is "which jobs am I happy to see this one doing and which ones worry me".

As GPT has endless ability to produce flowing words and precisely zero concept-comparable-to-will to verify them, unfortunately, the job for which it is most apt is probably politics. That I must admit worries me a little because of all the gpt-like humans we tolerate and encourage.

step 1 - be an engineering manager.

step 2 - disavow perverse management methodologies, because "you're not like those other managers".

step 3 - do it anyway because the higher-ups said so.

step 4 - convince yourself you're not part of the problem ;)
Someone was working on an AI that could detect if text was generated by ChatGPT. I'm sure through some smart queries it could be figured out.

Note that the Cloud resolves licensing in that you can’t consume resources you’re not licensed for (although “uncapped cloud” lets you consume resources that you don’t know are paying for).
I refer you to my first question. Why are you so willing to absolve the leaders of their responsibility to behave within a societally understood moral compass?

That same moral compass which without they would not be able to function or operate?

>Like it not, my comment is how corporations work. We've tried letting them have in-built morality, but guess what, it didn't work before, and it doesn't work now.

Except it isn't, they rely on the morality of their WORKERS to achieve their objectives. You simply believe that leaders and decision makers get a free pass on ignoring morality while anyone without sufficient power must behave morally lest they be punished. How does boot polish taste?
Depends a lot on the game and player. It's true, there are many short, narrative indies out there. But there are also roguelikes, strategy games, simulation, survival, city-builders, etc. which can be infinitely replayable. Even a game like BoI as you mentioned, it is known for being really replayable due to the sheer amount of items you can collect. Not ever indie is replayable, but there are plenty. And, we also want to have non-replayable games, we just haven't figured out the best model yet.

This one is fun! However, that particular formula is not my favorite, as it doesn't behave nicely when a is small. The art here is deciding what to special case.

The way I approach this[1] is to choose the sign of the ± to be the same as -b to compute the first root x1. Then the second root is c/(a * x1). There are a few other checks in the code for things overflowing, but that basically gives you very accurate answers across the range.

This is explained a bit in a good Math Exchange post[2]. Jim Blinn's "How to solve a quadratic equation" also makes good reading.

Wait til you get to cubics and quartics.

I have seamless ssh agent forwarding for full Linux distros, so if you're running Docker from a Linux shell (like you would in WSL), then the usual way (https://gist.github.com/d11wtq/8699521) should just work. Making it work when running Docker directly from macOS will be challenging, but I'll dig into it and see what's possible. Thanks for bringing it up!
You said the right wing opposed sugar taxes without any links while I pointed out the left wing opposed them with evidence. Isn’t that relevant?
I have the following framework when interviewing (either side of the table)

1. Both parties hope it's a match but of course worry about making the wrong choice. Think: the interview wants me to do well, I need to help them say yes to me.

2. Programming ability is a necessary but not sufficient skill for a real programming job. How you are on call, how you are with brainstorming, how you are hashing through requirements, how you are when you make a mistake, how you are when you are being coached - all matter and the programming interview is generally structured to get signal on those things.

I think most people who make themselves crazy / hate interviews / are befuddled - it's because they don't see this.
noduerme already addresses this.

> Unit testing will not save you from SQL injection or XSS attacks, so study those and bulletproof your work against them first before you worry about mathematical proof that your database call never results in an error under some odd condition.
Interviews in general turn people into assholes.

Myself I am guilty of freaking out a candidate because I had just rolled off a huge escalation, heart racing and firing on all cylinders. Nervous, talking fast, etc.

I will try some Gotcha type questions to use as shorthand for how deep they are in certain areas. Even if someone whiffs one of those I am still likely to recommend them if everything else was good. No biggie. If there is time I will explain the answer to see how they digest it.

I am not trying to be an asshole. But in comparison I know a guy who won't hire someone if he doesn't like their shoes. He's an asshole outside of interviews though.

After reading the decision on detail, I don’t think my comment was helpful.
Probably shrugging it off, and getting the next better thing, which would be the reason for the ban, I guess?

Edit: Optionally crying out loud in public on all available channels for being victimized, and insisting on subsidies for the next better thing!
Thank you, this is a really clear way of explaining it and a careful reading would be helpful to lots of people who think this is something it isn't.
There is not just cost to count. There is also value in having a custom solution that is well integrated into your other tools, and value in avoiding vendor lock-in. Large companies build a lot of their own internal tooling for those reasons.

Let's say there was no open source replacement (that's not true, or at least it's not going to be true when Podman and Rancher improve, but for the sake of argument...)

What would prevent Docker from doubling the subscription right now? Tripling it?
Why would they? They've got great things going on with the bundles and now HB choice/monthly. Same for Steam and other large storefronts.
Complexity frequently doesn't come from the logical requirements of the system, instead it comes from the need to integrate the system to the VERY COMPLEX environment where it resides. Any simple web system nowadays needs to integrate with a complex web environment, with dozens (if not hundreds) of protocols, OS layers, databases, just to begin with. This is why you need hundreds of thousands of lines (or equivalent libraries) to create the simplest funcional application these days.

The secret of Forth is to avoid the environmental complexity by creating a language that is so simple that it barely needs any support and any integration with other systems. This is also its major weakness for commercial use.
Tesla and SpaceX come to mind. Or Apple.
I asked GPT if truth is relative or absolute, it told me that it is a complex subject and that different people see it differently, which implies that truth is relative, lol

Agreed. That lack of guarantee generally means that it's a waste of time to even try unit testing in the first place.
It is not posted on Ask HN.
GP's 'this' refers to the submission, i.e. macOS in a container. (Aside: I hate 'a Docker', a Docker what? Image? Container? Registry?)
OK, I'll just say that the complaints are totally legitimate. But the author seems to be missing something that I only recently discovered myself. You can tell Music on macOS to sync to the cloud immediately by selecting File > Library > Update Cloud Library. It presents a spinner at the bottom of the window showing progress. (Well, showing that it's still working.) After that, if it doesn't immediately show up on your phone, you can force-quit the app and restart it and it should be there.

I write a lot of music and like to be able to play it on different devices (phone, HomePods, in the car, etc.). It took me a while to figure the above out!
A long time ago, in a mexican company far far away we needed to download some files from a Bank to automate some process... but to do that the bank would force us to use some crappy custom client software that was windows only.

We reverse engineer it and it turned to be simply hitting a predefined endpoint for an encrypted file that then was encrypted with a hard coded custom script .

We happily extracted the auth data and setup a script that did the same in a cheap AWS linus box.

I think it's working well to this day, more than 10 years later.
I love programming and I love software engineering. What I don't like is having to work for a living(in this case, doing SWE).

Totally agree with doing your own benchmark, and when performance matters, work with someone who knows the systems

I'm not a neo4j expert, and am not paid to write this. That said, their GDS subengine from the last couple of years appears to be distributed in-memory, essentially a view, and their year-over-year improvements there have been substantial. There might be no difference at the checkbox level. Likewise, when we did billion-scale work here with a variety of common queries, we found that the existence of basic features like indexes quickly changed what was fast vs slow. Historically, C++ vs Java is often < 2X of a difference, so when we're talking parallel & distributed hardware with tricky query planners & data representations... I have many questions beyond the language. If they were targeting something like FPGAs, I might feel differently.
That's a beautiful form of art, somehow. Far away from the only form of art, but it's the kind of art where a) it's very obvious that you have to be extremely proficient in what you are doing (and so the stupid modern art spectator comment "I could have done this" is quelled from its very spark), and b) it's so useless, especially for the amount of effort put in, that it really only exists for itself and to please both creator and spectator.

There is one video of his that takes it to an extreme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5TFDG-y-EHs - That is not only impossibly bonkers on just about every level, it's also so incredibly useless that the result is not even observable.
We deploy everything in kubernetes in the live environments, with databases in rds, s3 for objects, sometimes dynamo for other data types or patterns.

Locally there's docker compose for the APIs (Java, python) and usually postgres. It's a good observation, interrupting that workflow would be quite a pain.
Using exceptions would be a lot easier however if typescript picked up the throws and would warn about missing catch blocks, just as every other language with exceptions seems to get right…
