Multi racial/cultural societies have a different set of problems and advantages. Why can't we be more like Japan is because you can't? It would be interesting to see what a modern multi racial/cultural society built under an Asian country would be like. Dubai? UAE? Not really the place for me.
How to Build a Wysiwyg Editor with Lexical and React

Ask HN: Anyone doing some absurd stuff after getting laid off?
Life is pretty absurd and wonder more and more why we put so much stake into a job when the employer effectively doesn't care about you.

Anyone taking some time to do cool stuff?

Japan now has highest birth rates out of all developed Asian countries.
I moderate communities on telegram, I already have people who treat me and my mod team like we are being paid, and this is our full-time job, and we should be more responsive to their concerns. I wouldnt want to be actually paid and have an expectation of quality of service.
> AFAIK KeePassXC don't give a way of automating merge of different versions of the password store (for that the granularity provided by git and the pass format is better), so modifying the keys by a team is an exercise of coordination, and have one global master key that implies an all-or-nothing approach.

You might already know about the Merge feature in general, but, curtosy of GHacks[1]:

> KeePass' synchronization algorithm merges matching entry levels when sync is invoked. The application uses the last modification date as the main data point when deciding about the recency of entries. KeePass keeps track of it automatically whenever an entry is added or modified.

> The application uses its history feature when it merges entries. Assume that the same login is available in two databases, but with different passwords. KeePass will merge these and set the most recent username and password as the default after the sync process completes. All other entries are stored in the history, so that they are not lost and may be accessed when the need arises.

I bet one could argue that this is at least as automated as a merge commit, which I wouldn't expect to run truly automatically anyways (ie. as a commit or ci hook without any other user input).

It is an aesthetic choice. Not one I would make, but it is one.

By drenching everything in one monchrome color gradient it is also easier to hide bad set design, costume and VFX. Doing a crystal clear shot with a steady camera, full color and a believeable effect is much harder to pull off (and thus: more expensive).

Technically nothing speaks against doing any other style of lighting and coloration, but then you cannot hide behind the colors and then you have to think a bit more deeply about color schemes than "blue=calm/depressive" and red/orange=aggressive/dangerous".

But Netflix is not in the business of producing motion pictures that are deep, Netflix wants to crank out as much content that people watch as possible, for the least budget possible.
That's like saying white images are better than black ones, because white is encoded as 0xff, 0xff, 0xff, which is numerically greater than 0x00, 0x00, 0x00. Quantifiably better! We're taking a totally subjective preference and saying one is objectively better, based entirely on some arbitrary measure of the "amount of visual data". I personally think "greater visual data" looks worse than "less visual data." This is a totally subjective preference! Is this preference objectively wrong?
Sorry, but my personal experience with motion sickness and games says it's triggered by too-low framerates. Early 2000s laptops were particularly unbearable.
Yes much agree!

A big reason I wanted to pursue this idea is exactly what you mentioned - a lack of ability to easily create presentation-quality Git structures that can apply specifically to the situation a user is in, NOW.

A super annoying thing about troubleshooting Git issues is when you find a similar solution online but it's done in someone's random repo which could be very different that yours. Your whiteboard sessions are another good example down this line of thought.
I recommend just reading the books, they're pretty entertaining (in particular, "Marooned in Realtime"). Has some of the best near-singularity tech I've seen.
> simulate actions on Git repos without actually modifying them

One way around this could be to create a new temporary directory in /tmp, copy .git over there and symlink the rest, then run whatever operation in the newly copied workspace and compare it with the original.

Then you can mutate things however you want and the original stays the same.
I guess it means people switched to 'electrical engineering and computer science', as they can do this without access to physical labs.

Most startups don't survive a new CEO, so you're basically asking he dooms the company, the investors, and the remaining employees. Real smart.
"thumbs down" a movie to say "I'm never going to watch it", you won't see it again (great for getting rid of dumb movies in the big promotional banner on the home screen as well)
ChatGPT would probably be a better search engine than google. ChatGPT and Reddit cover most of your info.

What remains is shopping, but Amazon and even Instagram are better at that.

Lastly, Google has no audience for creating awareness like fb / ig / tt
FWIW as one of the original complainers this seems like a perfectly good edit to me.

Also the overall article was quite interesting and I think the template is really accessible and fun to read. If I knew there would be a bunch of ancillary complaining this thread, I probably would have kept quiet!
Removing stigma
I've been playing Path of Exile again lately and it has the most straightforward approach to network code, it's sort of refreshing. The game works via a TCP stream to a server. By default the screen only updates when your client receives a packet from the server; if there's a hiccup the client freezes. This means it's immediately obvious when a network problem is causing trouble and you're never misled by prediction. Also looks crappy on a bad connection. There's a "Client predictive" mode you can enable but it's off by default. Details: https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Networking_mode

I'm on Starlink so I get a lot of hiccups. It's pretty annoying. But then, it's also transparent. Lately the game is working as a diagnostic of Starlink's various failures. It helps the game has a very simple lag meter. https://imgur.com/a/S0VMjUM

PoE is a lot less demanding than a fighting game; it's mostly single player. Occasional 500ms latency and rubberbanding isn't game-destroying (just annoying). Just an interesting different approach.
Speaking of, I'd love to get rid of the mandatory search bar on the Android home screen.
Why do you believe inverted pyramids don't last? They last for a long time after you get the birth rate back up. And Japan's not gotten the birth rate back up.

Indeed, it seems like the drag from having an older population does a lot to keep the birth rate down.

Our best forecasts show Japan's population pyramid as still markedly inverted and still shrinking in 2100.

(I don't agree with your other point either, necessarily, but I chose to ask about this one).
Manim rocks.
I think you've taken it a bit personally, because firing back with "sheer amount of filth, crime and misery that's part of any major Western city" is a cartoonish exaggeration, portraying London or Edinburgh as if they're hellish, fallen nightmare realms like Yharnam[0].

I would say that the article is a bit simplistic and doesn't include any very clear or helpful comparison to the UK. I think it would be interesting to list out some of the various problems affecting the UK, and to compare how Japan attempts to solve these problems and explore whether there are any consequences to these solutions, or whether they're applicable in the UK.

"OMG Racists!" is the new "Think of the children!".
One would expect it to eventually become similar to the British Empire and the Colonies, which later became the United States. Probably more so for Mars and beyond, but why shouldn't the Moon become its own country or sovereign, self-governing entity?
Just once I would like to see whoever is responsible for something like this show up in the replies and be completely honest about how it’s hostile shitty behaviour, but on the other hand they increased Edge engagement by 0.5% which really impressed their bosses boss.
Rare? Thanks.
Going really far out here, but if we were able to model how a given child views the world, we'd theoretically be able to model how a given adult views it. We could then query that model and it would respond as that adult.

Bam, copied human.

Likewise, if the new job of a game writer is to develop the "persona" of a video game character rather than write the character's dialogue, what if someone just dropped the video game angle and described themselves in excruciating detail and included all of their writings in the input?

You could copy yourself, just like that childhood diary blogger did.

The true long term opportunity here is making a sufficiently competent model and then creating personas from influential people alive today to solve problems beyond their immediate area and lifetime.

The long term cost of knowledge work is going to become 0 as our supply of intelligence becomes unbounded by number of brains on earth :)
You have to acquire the source material legally. You can be in violation of copyright for copying music you didn’t buy. If you acquire work legally, you’re legally allowed to make backup copies for yourself, if you don’t distribute it. You can be in violation of copyright if you distribute something you don’t have the copyrights for.

Thoughts are never illegal wrt US Copyright Law. It’s a straw man to insist on making this point.

> In other words, the end user of the model is the one to be held responsible if they reproduce and distribute the copyrighted material.

No, this is false because it is the creators of the model that 1) did not legally acquire the source material and 2) distributed the network that contains latent copies of the source material that end users can use to reproduce works from.
Is it legal to lower wages for current employees? In my country it isn't.
I don't think it's 'often' and it's only in cases where there is a real and credible threat of harm to the witness.

While that might make it harder to go after organized crime, the US believes it is important that, when you are accused of doing something, you get to confront your accuser.

There's a really interesting law review article about this from 2020 which gets into the idea that, through misconduct, a defendant can waive their right to confront the witness at trial. Here's a link: https://digital.sandiego.edu/sdlr/vol39/iss4/3/

Git is an amazing tool with terrible UX. It's very difficult to know what the right thing to do is and the mental model is a bit weird. For example, undoing an operation is another, new commit.

Most volunteers for any organization are neither trained or educated in the thing they're volunteering to do, thats why they're volunteers and not paid labor. As soon as you start putting requirements for compliance training or whathaveyou on volunteers, they start needing to be paid.
Groups can learn too. Ditto for future hires.

Besides, if you are large enough for this to be a problem, you are large enough that everybody doesn't have to know everything.
Love the sources that say 19 states and then provide no list.
To be clear, from the article: "Reddit received special permission from the Supreme Court to include anonymous comments from Reddit mods in its brief."

This is not saying the court decided anything - it is just saying it is allowing commentary from mods to be submitted to the court, without knowing their identity.
What a simplistic analysis. But there will always be readers who will like the story that rich get richer and the poor get poorer, not matter if the evidence really point is that direction or not.

The vast majority of the announced layoffs were white collar jobs, people getting $100k, $200k or more per year. That does not fit the story of rich getting richer, does it?

The Fed raising rates results in bonds losing value. Equities too. Real estate too. Other less liquid assets too. The vast majority of the rich in the US have lost money. Not so much the poor, because the poor don't have a lot of financial assets. It does not mean the rich have become poor and the poor rich, it just means this is not one of the times when the gap between rich and the poor has increased, or that the Fed is working diligently towards increasing this gap.
I'd say this is still putting the burden on the wrong party, though. For this to serve as a useful deterrent in general, canaries need to be quite common. Rather than hoping that thousands of customers will choose to use a canary and monitor individually, any company that stores credit cards should instead contract with an outside auditor, whereby any time a user stores a real credit card in the system, the auditor generates a canary and stores that in the database as well. This way it happens transparently in the backend, without having to ask users to do it, and immediately turns any credential leak into a minefield where you have a 50% chance of getting only one card before a canary goes off.
They are not explaining their internal processes (neurobiology, brain chemistry, neuron firing patterns etc.) that caused them to arrive at given moves. They just provide proofs that their moves were good.
jemalloc does not assume a particular page size; it configures page size at build time. By default the configured page size is the actual page size (usually 4KiB), but optionally it's some power-of-two multiple of the actual page size. In the early days of jemalloc the page size was queried at startup rather than burned into the binary, but that dynamic flexibility was never of any use in practice, and it inhibited compiler optimizations.

Lawyer Explains Stable Diffusion Lawsuit [video]
I’ve cited the same concept of consistency, and I still believe it to an extent. But I do feel like it’s folk wisdom to an extent and not necessarily backed up by evidence. Like is e vs err vs error so egregious that it really adds to mental overhead?

And sometimes there are explicit reasons to not do certain “best practices”. There was that whole era of making functions as small as possible, which of course meant you needed to jump to five function definitions to get even the slightest idea of what was happening. Or when everybody insisted on const and arrow functions for everything.

As well intentioned as these ideas are, they fall victim to trends and overzealous application. Any piece of advice has a trade-off and a situation where it does not apply. Therefore it’s important to remember that these ideas are fundamentally subjective guesses at how to write good code. Not gospel truth.

Of course that isn’t to say linters are bad. Just that lint rule authors should be very careful to check that they are actually writing rules of value and not just nit picky folk wisdom.
Thermals are never a solved problem. System designers simply use up what is available (and usually won't stop there).

It's like saying processing speed is a solved problem. Engineers/scientist don't have any problems finding productive ways to use more processing speed.
This is a failure of the regulatory government agencies to do their jobs. If we actually had regulators that actually did their jobs, MS, Apple, Google, Amazon, Samsung, etc would have been smashed into dozens of smaller companies.

“They (workers) don’t get to choose their compensation, they don’t get to choose their promotion, they don’t get to choose to stay home five days a week,” said James Gorman, CEO of Morgan Stanley…”

Absolutely they do.

They get to make that choice by choosing a company that values their talent to the degree they are paid what they feel their time is worth; they make that choice by choosing to work for a a company that values their talent enough to give them the opportunity for promotion; they make that choice by choosing to work for a company that values results over butts-in-chair.

For almost 2 years, many, many workers proved they could be as productive, if not MORE productive than pre-pandemic times. They got creative on how to be collaborative; it worked.

If Gorman doesn’t see and embrace that, may he find himself setting the “open to work” flag on his LinkedIn.

Taking responsibiliy means you have work to do to correct the problem.

You spilled coffee on the table? Clean it up. That's your responsibility. It doesn't mean you need to be "punished".

In the case of layoffs, taking responsibility might mean having to face the public and the employees with the decision and having to endure the public shaming you, etc. All on behalf of the board and shareholders.
Alaska has wind. And also very long summer days.

That’s true in certain industries like modeling, but not others, even if you’re a white native Japanese. Often, these types struggle to ever be fully accepted into society. They’re seen as outsiders and, at best, seen as “cool” in an exotic way.

Staking pool or outright staking? Lots of people mined before the hardware got sophisticated enough to price out the smaller miners. Even so, there were still people mining on GPUs. Do you remember when gamers and ML researchers were priced out of GPUs?

Exactly.

Going further back in history there's also this thing called Film Noir that further disproves the argument that digital cameras (or, more narrowly, Netflix) is the origin of the high-contrast look.

I mean, even the most celebrated film of all time, Citizen Kane, is celebrated among other things for its stark contrast and that was shot in 1941 or thereabouts.

It's apparent from my limited experience there that you are right: some subreddits are dominated by a certain demographic group, and they Report anything they don't like as "offensive."

I’ve wondered how much of this comes from the huge amount of game programmers that dive right in with zero CS background. I’m not knocking just jumping in, but a game engine is definitely not going to be feasible with 0 experience/background. Even setting up a sophisticated enough build environment to glue together libraries and handle assets is not going to be realistic for someone who’s only experience is installing mods and maybe an OOP course.
