I will concede that for once, Apple's insane keyboard mappings actually work in their favor.

But I still won't get them any credit, since it is purely a coincidence that their mappings happened not to mess with this one browser game.
Apologies for the lack of clarity, I was addressing just this sentence in the parent

> That would require greater than 50% taxation, which isn’t realistic at all in the United States.

My point is that higher than 50% total taxation on a large single-year income (considering local and corporate taxes) is entirely possible in the United States, though it may be less in some states than other. I’m not saying that the estimate is correct as the Tarn Brothers don’t live in California. But if they took the income to a corporation, paid corporate income tax, and then took the whole income or a large part of it as dividends in a high tax state, then >50% is quite possible. On a pass-through entity, close to 50% is the standard and unavoidable in high tax states.
They could have argued it was self-defense training :)
And when will the people crying about virtue signaling admit the concept goes way, way back. Look at how popular necklaces with crosses are, as a prominent example.
I used to take the train to another town and then a bus, just to get to school every day, as a kid (i.e. 10-12). This was before cellphones, and I doubt I even had money for a payphone on me. I was fine and it was perfectly normal. Of course this was in France, not the U.S. so quite different in terms of cultural acceptance. It was before the concept of sex offenders (and a host of other dangers) really exploded in the media, which I believe was the big shift in everyone's minds (this idea of a pervert or kidnapper lurking behind every corner).

If you would like to hear an analysis of these two trends, Jason Rohrer goes over launch day sales for a game he released in 2014 and 2018 in this gdc talk [0].

Regulation isn't necessary to silence debates on unpopular wars (the past 20 yrs provides ample examples). "Freedom of speech" like the "public interest" isn't easily definable. Companies like Meta and Twitter are "free" to censure at will, but regardless of whatever claims they may make of their rights to this freedom, it negatively effects the freedom of others. In practice a loss of government regulation just yields the regulatory power to private interests. The choice unfortunately becomes not whether we choose regulation or "freedom" but who is granted regulatory rights: public or private interests.
Meeting the AI moment: advancing the future through responsible AI
Most people voting/supporting these kinds of things believe there is a dastardly "other" that this will apply to more than it will apply to them. There are plenty of recent political endeavors where this was extremely obvious and loudly detailed and, yet...

So much of the large-scale political nastiness these days isn't because a rising minority wants to enforce fair rules that everyone has to abide by together. They want rules that suppress the opportunities of someone else and are certain that the rules won't suppress them.

You can argue that there's little difference between one side or the other, but it's like a game cube -- in one direction it's left vs right, flip the cube and it's rich vs poor, spin the cube again, it's majority race/religion against others. The dastardly part is that, say, the propaganda of one orientation of the cube is often accepted by the oppressed parties of another orientation of cube.
I've been playing TTRPGs via videochat with my friends since pandemic, and I've often thought about setting up video avatars for our characters. It would be especially cool for the DM to be able to switch personas on the fly, and for players to have their characters in video chat.
Wellspring of creativity: why public domain matters
You also get to choose your reaction to circumstance. For example:

Bob and Tim fall down the stairs, each breaks a leg.

Bob says, oh I'm so unlucky! My leg broke! Woe is me!

Tim says, oh I'm so lucky! I could have broken my head instead of my leg! Next time I'll be more careful.
Those are universe packages (not in the main repo) that didn't even get security updates in the first place until now. Nobody has taken anything away that they were already getting.
well, as i said, i did program for those environments - don't feel much urge to re-start now
I have a better proposal than the last line. Just repeat Heron's method, using the approximate square root.

In the article they find that sqrt(33) is approximately 5.75 = 5 3/4. Square that and we get 25 + 2 * 15/4 + 9/16 = 33 1/16 = g.

Now we want n / g = 33 / 5.75 = 33 / (23 / 4) = 132 / 23 = 5 17/23.

Average that with g and we get (5 3/4 + 5 17/23)/2 = (5 69/92 + 5 68/92)/2 = 5 137/184 = 5.74456217... The actual answer is 5.74456264...

What's going on here is that we're using Newton's method, and doubling the number of digits of accuracy every time. By contrast the Taylor series is only adding a fixed number of digits for each term. So "do the simple stupid thing, take feedback, iterate" is far better "do the complex thing right the first time".

That's a lesson from math that is widely applicable everywhere. Such as for running startups.

I believe the general concensus is that it doesn't because private media companies aren't public spaces, so the company rules. How far the company enjoys freespeech, whether it extenda to their users and who gets to define hate speech I don't know, but lible is criminalized already and further analogies aren't impossible.

I mean, I could call a hackernews a punk ass neoliberal cunt and wait what happens next.

> In what world is revenue taxed before expenses.

All of them, for capital expenditures.

If I buy a widget-maker for $100,000 and use it to make a profit of $50k/yr on widget sales (net of staff and materials), then I don't have a $50k loss in my first year and $50k in profits thereafter.

Instead, the cost of the machinery must be amortized (depreciated) over several years, with a five-year period being typical but not universal. In the latter case, even though I had a $100k cash outlay for the machinery, I'd still record a tax-time profit of $30k for the year ($50k operational net revenue less $100k/5 years).

Is software an operational or a capital expense? There are arguments for each approach, and reasonable governments might decide the issue differently.

"It really says a lot about the system when the people who write code are not happy with the bugs they just wrote. It's almost like they could have, I dunno, read and thought about what they were writing. Just imagine all the other BS slipping through."

Just because you write, read, and understand anything doesn't mean mistakes don't get through. Should we never release any code unless it's completely bug free?
Isn't it simply that the news used to come from hard drinking, smoking, schmoozing, pull-no-punches reporters working for papers that competed with each other for "the scoop"? They would dig up the dirt for you. Where are they now?

I agree. After reading this article, that was the first thing I thought of. Copy protection mechanisms like these were downright obnoxious and it's no surprise that customers get sick of them and go with the cracked/pirated versions. Things like DiVX were doomed from the start.
I saw this the other day and I was disoriented I couldn't find the no.

Cable news is that way.

My son thinks MSNBC is worse than Fox but I’d say Fox was commercially successful from the very beginning and that liberals were ‘too smart for that shit’ until the Trump administration where MSNBC really had grist for that mill and got much better ratings.

CNN has the bias of ‘if it bleeds it leads’ and loved to promote antagonism with Trump because it was great for ratings. I would say though that even non-partisan business news on cable is awful. We will probably still be hearing the non-sensical FAANG acronym for years thanks to the ignorance of Jim Cramer. At least his stock picks are it much worse than a dart, not as bad as Jimmy the Greek’s football picks.
Boy, I have an article for you

Is this actually true, or BS? If true, can someone explain?

My mental model is that vsync will lock the framerate to the same as the monitor refresh.

So if monitor is 60hz, my games graphical update rate runs at 60fps.

Let's say without vsync, my graphical update rate would generously go up to 120hz.

Worst case we're talking about an additional input latency due to vsync of maybe 1/60s? 16ms?

I don't believe 16ms is significant for non pro level eSports players and even skeptical it's a big factor at that level.

What am I missing here?

I could understand if the get clock speed was tied to the graphical update rate but I presume that's not the case for CS, server side game etc; or even if it was it's still not going to be that material.

I'm just skeptical - what am I missing here?

Is the mouse input code tied to graphical clock rate or something in some surprising bad way?
I used tcpdump a fair bit, with -T rtp, to pull our RTP sequence numbers, which I could then look for any discontinuities.

Look, I get it, no-one is entitled to free labour. But OSS runs on goodwill. Canonical profited obscenely from the rich open source community and diverse set of packages. And that’s OK - it’s the nature of open source. They get to differentiate with their orchestration tools and premium support. But the expectation is that when it comes to security patches, we all chip in, in the name of collective safety.

"The shares jumped 6.5% in premarket trading." and that's the real reason all of these are being done. It's investors demanding their pound of flesh in outrageous returns that no other industry but tech and private equity would even consider.
Yup. The only way to make everyone equal is to hammer everyone into the mud.
Sorry to hear about this experience.

I don't know about the case in question here, but some programming language communities have had to deal with hate, flames, mockery, and the associated trauma, for decades now.

And a programming language community is not exactly chartered as a trauma-metabolizing, cathartic organization, to say the least.

This means you can get unwarranted, instinctual, direct pushback and possibly rude treatment from community members where you might have the opposite in other, growing communities for example.

There are also other lenses that apply here, but that's a big one...

It also seems that mapping this kind of outcome onto prime/past-prime doesn't uniformily cover the outcomes either.

However there are some interesting workarounds that I've seen, depending on the situation.

Anyway, just to say I've noticed this kind of behavior too.

> Art created with Chat GPT is not created by Chat GPT. It is created by a human using a chat GPT.

Sure, in approximately the same way that the CEO of Sunrise is an animator. Pull the other one, it's got bells on.

Yours is an utterly incoherent interpretation; when ChatGPT outputs that there are 12 characters in the word 13, I have not "created the meaning" 12. You're just fixated on this "actually I am le real artist for typing prompts" axe you want to grind, but it has fuck all to do with anything I'm saying.
It’s funny to me that elsewhere in this thread people are complaining about how Americans are less stringent with food safety, and yet here you are getting lambasted for defending an American food safety practice that objectively has a slight increase in safety, but at an arguably high cost.
One thousand times this. Even though there are exceptions, it makes for a far better experience. Even as I am writing this: control+A is Emacs-like keybindings, goes to the beginning of the line. Under Windows and even Linux, depending on the app it's probably going to run "select all", and we have to resort to home and end (but then these also have a chance of scrolling stuff).

It's good to know that "command" will run commands. Easier to explain to new users too.

The Windows key is indeed a missed opportunity. The main reason the opportunity was missed is likely to be because Microsoft did not control the hardware. Even after Windows 95 was introduced, many keyboards continued to lack the Windows key for quite a while. How do you deal with that? Not allowing apps to run? Having a fallback for when there isn't a windows key? Now the interface is inconsistent.
However bad you think k8s is, SAP is worse on its best day.
> Is it more efficient resource and time-wise to rewrite everything in [Language of choice], or to comb through the currently existing code

This is a false dichotomy. Bugs are concentrated in new code, so the biggest value for Rust is to use it going forward, interoperating with existing C and C++ code. Going backwards and rewriting low bug density code should not be a priority. Both of your alternatives only address existing code.
> A grenade would probably be just fine to eliminate the satellite from being useful

Sure, but if You are lucky or smart enough, to use it close enough.

For example Soviet satellite-interceptors spent few years and made few attempts (each time with bigger explosive), before achieve enough cloud density .
I agree the topic is complex and fraught. I have opinions but they're not strongly held or informed by debate, and unfortunately I don't think even a generally well-moderated forum like HN is the best place to have that debate (plus I don't have time).

However, in this case I wasn't trying to argue how moderation should work, I'm trying to examine a hypothesis on how it does work. The additional mapping of statistical crime data I mentioned would help measure whether that hypothesis is correct.

As I said in a sibling comment, my wording was imprecise. When I said "it makes sense to use crime stats to weight moderation strength" I really meant "If OpenAI was trying to avoid additional harm to already targeted groups then to verify that it would make sense to..." So it was the results of the post's research that I suggested should be mapped against statistics, not the results of ChatGPT's output.

In answer to your sincere question though, and at the risk of going down a rabbit hole, I'll say this. Censorship is bad, but I can see why some may be required (see "yelling fire in a movie theater," libel, direct threats of violence, etc.). The question then becomes, how do you minimize censorship while also attempting to avoid direct harm?

In short, asymmetric filtering could potentially limit the amount of censorship by focusing it on groups that are actively attacking other groups.
For me it’s medium breaths, not too deep while imagining a wiper moving across my forehead and completely clearing my thoughts. Works remarkably well.

Not really a coincidence and that's not the only scenario where it's preferable to have a dedicated command key
It's not great that they didn't prepare you for this before coming on, but yes: as someone with 15 years of experience your job is not to get stuff done directly but to help your junior devs grow and compensate for their naivete.

If you want to be building this directly you might want to consider startups or consulting, places where they need someone who both has real world experience and can build things? At a FAANG the reason they're willing to pay you so much is your leadership, mentorship, and teaching capacity: you plus a group of junior devs should be much more effective than the junior devs would have been without you.
I’m surprised to hear 50ms for audio processing. I’m a music producer and I can feel it at about 20ms of latency. (Pressing key on keyboard (musical) to hearing sound)

I would have thought video games wouldn’t have more latency than audio production software.
I just don't understand why anyone would care?

You don't need consent from anyone depicted in visual art to make visual art. It literally has nothing to do with them.

I'd bet that such behavior is common, but have ~no data to support that opinion.

There is a huge difference between the creative content industry and commodities such as fabrics production. While there are some lessons to be learned from that history and the current situation, I don't think you can compare apples to apples. The results are unlikely to be the same in my opinion.

I don't think you can leverage AI in Hollywood for profit on blockbusters without highly trained artists in the mix. It is possible that it could impact the long-tail of b-movies out there, but I think audiences will be able to see through this. I don't know how sabotage will work in this case either.
What about homes?
I am at least aware of the diagonal recording on VHS tapes, that is why I assumed it might be hard do build a generic reader as you could not necessarily take advantage of the geometry or the speed of the tape or things like that. There is probably a good reason for the complexity inside an old VHS recorder.
This is the issue with sewage technology in general. In short, we are not responsible enough. If we were fully responsible as people, we could do it. Once rich countries did it, poor countries would demand it, and they are especially unprepared. A bit of economic and political risk and voila, regions devastated.

There should be a simple rule: if you can't manage garbage, you can't handle sewage technologies.

If you mean UDHR, it has Article 29:

"In the exercise of his rights and freedoms, everyone shall be subject only to such limitations as are determined by law solely for the purpose of securing due recognition and respect for the rights and freedoms of others and of meeting the just requirements of morality, public order and the general welfare in a democratic society."

What this constitutes in practice is so subjective that it renders the rest of the document mostly moot for practical purposes. Indeed, given that it was originally authored in 1948, and looking at the list of countries that voted in favor of that resolution, most of them had "sodomy laws" and such on the books at the time - and I have no doubt that those were exactly the kind of thing that was meant by "requirements of morality" etc, given that today countries with similar laws also make such arguments.

Human provenance is less important than human curation here. AI can already infrequently output content that surpasses average human-generated quality in certain categories. As long as in the end you are checking that content exceeds an average bar of quality as assessed by human aesthetics, and ensuring that you have a diverse set of content (eg. not overrepresented by content that AI is particularly good or prolific at), it should still improve outcomes.
There are two degrees of separation here though: The software vendors and then the linux distros.

If you sell software that requires your clients to upgrade their system-wide security stack, so they might not. If it is statically linked, no need for them to.
