That's one of the examples that could help you spot non-native speakers (me included).

I would regularly say: "I ran home as fast as possible", while a native speaker would just use: "I rushed home".

On the second reading, my first sentence may read: "That's one of the examples that give out non-native speakers".
Publicizing isn't the challenge. Monetizing is.

Imagine all the lives that could have been saved during the pandemic if governments could have forced people to quarantine and vaccinate by turning off access to peoples' CBDC account.

CDBCs are about saving lives, and the planet.

Honestly, even though I have my own home gym, I would recommend getting a Tonal if you have the money for it.
Having the technology or know how is still miles away from a product that is live. Google have the former, Microsoft handed over bags of cash for the latter.

It's especially awkward for them because as market leader in search they can't really afford to fumble this, which anecdotally they seem to be.
You’ll likely still have to spend that time after the horrific accident.

Also, I would disagree that engineering time is more valuable than human life. Engineering time should be spent on safeguarding human life. Otherwise, what are we even doing?
Seems like a disjointed attempt to convince that Google is already an AI provider, which probably isn't wrong. Here's kind of the "touchstones" from the 4 or 5 speakers.

- Highlighting the bleedover between search and conversational AI.

- Highlighting the widespread deployment of Translate across Google services.

- Highlighting "Google Lens" (coming soon? I thought this has been integrated for a decade?).

- Feature announcement, "multisearch" multi-modal search such as with an image and associated text.

- Feature announcement, "Bard" -> "But" -> "Further conditions..."

- Upgrades to the "expert answer recommendations" that is actually enabled by "Generative AI" -- (what were they doing before throwing darts?! when the hell was "do dogs dream?" https://www.popisms.com/TelevisionCommercial/101945/Google-A...)

- Feature announcement, "Next month", Generative Language APIs "onboarding developers, creators, and enterprises"

- "Responsible AI/ AI Principles" (https://ai.google/principles)

-Feature tease, Google Maps eye-candy / novel interface overlays using NeRF

- Google Maps AR demonstration that also looks like something from a decade ago that didn't get adopted / basically what Glass did

- Proper EV charging stations support (it doesn't already do this?)

- "Project Air View" to collect data about infrastructure's effect on air quality to benefit city planning? No idea what this is about.

- Google Arts and Culture (chrome experiments) / the blobs from 8 years ago revisited, I guess "Google Books" archival is just "arts and culture" now, AR application for an image viewer still very 2012,

It abruptly ends. This was all very out-of-touch.
> super important in loops to never use "=" as a condition statement, but instead use "<=" (or ">="). Otherwise you might create an infinite loop.

Never seems a bit strong, it depends on the context. You can use = on int types all day.
There are parallels in manufacturing and product. People who sell with high quality control, better methods. And everything else gets cheaper more common and lower (good enough) quality.
Hardcoded Folder Icons in macOS
It's possible for this to be an issue. I've been lucky that so far everything I've wanted has been legible, or even better configurable for different resolutions or scaling factors. In some cases I have found the touch screen to be useful over trying to hit tiny UI widgets.

Honestly, every game that's not certified that I've tried to play, I have been able to craft a control system that feels very nice. The sheer number of buttons helps.
"The digital currency won't make any of that worse."

I understand the argument but I suspect in practice you will be less susceptible to the predations of your bank and substantially more susceptible to the predations of your government.

At which point you should ask yourself, is it easier for me to change my bank or my government?
> Rust also turns a lot more bugs from UB and/or exploitable, into a panic.

Sadly for some of them (like integer overflow), that's only true in debug builds. Having a debug build that just force-enables santizers is a great thing, but also one easily replicated in a C/C++ ecosystem, too.
I don't really see how one could make it a real no-op, and an error would imply that pop_back would look like

if(empty()) { /* some error handling mechanism */ }
... rest of the code ...

and every added branch adds some minimal but non zero cost
I am the co-founder and maintainer of the engine, and I confirm we have some localized unsafe blocks for when we interface with the C library: LMDB.

However, I prefer having a few unsafe blocks that I can review carefully than a single one encapsulating the primary function.
It's been understated in the US because the US did something similar marching westward across the continent.

Yeah you are right. It's the Storm with the clicky screen.

Fun trivia- Most of the BB employees in my department switched from Storm to Bold when the Bold was released. As a result I had a pile of Storm in my drawer as my test devices.
I think the implication of the post is that calling it 'just' a gaming laptop is under-selling it.

Their favorite Google open source project. This is specially important for project which can't realistically exist without main sponsor / benefactor. It also help people to pay whatever little/high cost in term of conscience when they take part or consume something willingly but do not approve of makers.
No, at some point they’re worse than resistive.
Law and CS/programming are a bit different though. Law seems to tend towards a bimodal salary distribution where you have the top 10 school grads who clerked for a federal appeals court/SCOTUS/etc. and work at a white shoe law firm in a big city--and you have the public defenders/real estate lawyers in shopping malls/etc. It's not really that black and white--you have people who do well enough as corporate counsels and the like--but that's a common pattern.
If your heat distribution is hydronic, I don't see any reason why you couldn't have an automatic fail-over from a heat pump to a wood stove. It's harder with forced air, but forced air sucks anyway.
What gets me is why so many localities are pushing or requiring electrification when the grid in many areas is already overloaded. For goodness sake California has fairly regular rolling blackouts and yet many cities are banning gas hookups.

The right energy tech, IMO, is “all of them”.
Well, we do it for the IPv4 address since most home internet is inaccessible outside of the physical home. Plus, even though the data is on someone else's machine, having it "out there" helps us feel interconnected.
> I hope Google is not pulling a Blackberry moment.

It would be awesome, actually. Demonopolization of search space is long due. We need some breath of fresh air there.
And here you are interacting with someone by making that reply. Now in this particular setting, do you feel that inertia or repulsion at having made that interaction?
For something like RimWorld WebGL 1 should be more than enough, no? I don't think it's doing anything complex graphically. As a bonus, you'll be able to run on a lot more devices.
To be fair I don't like the commercial banking system but having all the banking system centralised like that is so much worse. At least the commercial bank system is in some way decentralised.

Also CDBCs are programmable, Programmable money is a dangerous tool in my opinion. The State could thoroughly control everything you could do with money (e.g. carbon allowances, money that expires etc.), money would literally become vouchers controlled by the government. Pure dystopia.
Yep, we also have two. Not a DNS expert but wouldn't half the clients (or their resolvers) stop working if one of your two providers are down? But you can recover by removing the provider that is down from your NS, assuming that the TTL is not too long.

Steam has Steam Deck ratings for games that evaluates that. In general, games that a are fully verified have good fonts even on 7" screen [1].

The games that don't, will show yellow "Playable" rating with a notice that fonts might be small and will need magnification. [2]

> The Marxist* notion that workers should get salaries commensurate to net profit of the company is weird and purely subjective.

The opposite is rampant inequality, where workers get paid pennies and owners keep most of the profits.

> I see no particular reason why profit of a company must be shared with its workers, most of whom did not outlay the initial capital (or subsequent funding rounds) that built the company.

You are OK with the people who create the actual thing a company sells, not getting their share. Only people who provide capital should.

Where do you think wealth comes from?
How is it a non-starter? Nuclear plants are low-carbon and extremely safe [1]. 100 km is a long way. There are millions of people in the USA living within 100 km of a nuclear plant. Showing people the numbers on nuclear isn't that hard.

Yeah, this has been around forever and I don't know anyone who ever used it.

Bank transfers are free and fast here, if you gave me your bank account and sort code, you would have your money pretty much instantaneously.

In fact, when I buy goods from Facebook Marketplace, people mostly want a bank transfer and you can send the money whilst you're standing there, and they'll be able to confirm they got it before you leave.

I see your point about using phone numbers instead, but oddly I'd rather give someone my account number and sort code rather than my phone number :)
To be fair, pretty much anything would save money over heating oil, including just burning money.
But that blurs editorial and advertising even worse than Google does now. It would make them a laughingstock, and the reputational damage plus competition from companies who have different revenue models would cause loss of market share anyway.

If Google is going to survive this, they need to find a way to get back to prioritizing user value while also making money.
Do a video of it and it's basically just Cameo, really. And people pay for that.
What does this have to do with the discussion? Hackernews is suppose to be about constructive debate.
Dear HN admins, please close this firehose of bullshit. Thank you!
I grew up in Maine and have memories of losing power for 10 days in a row. Supplementing with wood is already fairly normal just to save money. Even people who don't regularly burn wood or coal still keep a stove on hand for emergencies. When the power would go out we used to have a fire tending rotation to keep the temps high enough to stop the pipes from freezing. Heating your home is definitely of interest to just about every Mainer.
How do you propose western countries and social media companies fight disinformation?
Yes, absence of evidence is evidence of absence, under the right evidence-gathering circumstances.

Would you say that perhaps there are pigs which can fly, because absence of the evidence of the existence of flying pigs isn't evidence of their absence?
>Faculty hiring is straight up insane, and DEI/Faith statements don't even make the top 10 list of reasons why.

The idea that because there are other issues with hiring in Academia that these "Faith Statements" don't matter rings pretty hollow imo.

>By institution count, CA's public system is a teeny tiny fraction of the US's 4000+ colleges and universities.

But I get it. For a certain mark, California gets the cortisol goin'.

I'm actually a fan of the UC's and California generally but I also think that the UC's are the gold standard for Public Education in the US and what happens there often spreads across the rest of the big State University systems.

>LOL no they're not. The push is FAR stronger at no-name tuition-dependent corn row colleges in the midwest who have snow white undergrad populations and are literally existentially threatened by the coming decline in white 18 year old midwesterners.

Not sure how you can say this with such assurance, given we can see countless examples of DEI gone wild at the Ivies or Stanford or Wellesley, etc. You did your undergrad/phd at multiple Ivies and have worked at a dozen of those corn row schools and know what's happening there?
While, sure, we can adjust ourselves, my concern is more for my house - if my heat pump can't keep things warm that means the cold bits in my house aren't getting the heat they need when they need it the most to keep my pipes from freezing. Yes, that should be solved with insulation too, but you don't really find out about those problems until after they happen.
China's exit, as happened 70-80 years ago, would cause us to have to work more. That might not be such a bad thing, though I doubt it will happen to the same degree. It's still fresh in everyone's mind.
I got one Steam Deck and it really has brought back motivation to learn GUI programming (SDL2). It is already a very nice, portable(-ish), easily hackable device (normal linux programs!), with nice physical controls and a screen[1].

Last time I was this motivated was when I learned you could program for a PSP with just C code (only to learn that PSP have been discontinued by then, and quickly losing motivation shortly after).

It is a good device as it is, but for me the cherry on top would be a NanoSIM slot; I would pay extra for one with a NanoSIM slot, just to be able to connect to internet without requiring an existing wifi network.

But I understand it's kinda out-of-scope for a gaming device.

[1] I mention screen here because, for my use case, now I don't have to buy a screen for my RPI, and can instead mess around with the Steam Deck.
I may be wrong, but I believe Etsy have a hidden charge of 4% for currency conversion.

Normal banks charge about 3%, FinTechs 0.5%.

It listed absolutely nowhere when you buy; it occurs when you pay in a currency different to the native currency of the shop.

Etsy I recall decide which currency you will pay in, according to the country of your bank - which does not work for multi-currency FinTechs; in fact, you can end up paying Etsy their excessive conversion fee, and then a second conversion fee to the FinTech - that is, if you didn't know any better, and Etsy are completely silent about this.

Regarding pricing, looking at Etsy prices, and the prices on the web-sites of the sellers, I believe Etsy charge 20%. This is monopoly pricing.
Thanks for your recommendation. Stephen King's On Writing is itself enjoyable to read. I have read it cover to cover more than once.

He says he first realized that writing could be learned and taught when he was young. His first boss, a newspaper editor, made annotations on King's draft of an article with red ink. Mind blown. Why doesn't everyone teach writing this way?
I love this project and I'd love to switch to it. Hopefully constructive feedback: The big issue I always run into with this stuff is what am I supposed to do if something goes wrong? I think the project documentation people would be wise to document procedures to do when certain things go wrong and how you should deal with them, such as if a server or two fail, or there's some unexpected corruption. Without that, "distributed storage" systems really feel incomplete to me. Storage is usually "mission critical" and they had a procedure for every single thing that could go wrong on the Apollo mission.

Relative gas/electric pricing may be a lot different where you are. In the Seattle area gas is around $1.20 per therm which works out to about 24 kWh of heat per dollar. Electricity is around $0.11 per kWh or 27 kWh heat per dollar assuming 300% efficiency for the heat pump, so slightly better here. Of course if you want air conditioning that comes for free as part of the heat pump, and if you add solar that offsets the operating cost. Probably someone somewhere as built a calculator that shows where on the map the tradeoff goes one way or another.
Related heatpump info for the DIY crowd: Homemade Heat Pump Manifesto (2009) [1]. Although factors such as extreme cold-weather performance will be compromised, the lower cash outlay confers considerable appeal to this approach.

> My initial goal was to make available the knowledge and possibility that anybody with a few tools and gumption could convert discarded air conditioners, and dehumidifiers into very high efficiency heat sources, or cooling sources. Through the years, we have received reports of success from many people, living in many states, and countries.

The sanitizers are not incompatible with optimizations. asan with -O2 is a perfectly valid & useful combination. It's much faster than valgrind or anything like that, very usable levels of performance. And on an increasingly common number of CPUs there's hardware acceleration for ASAN as well ( https://clang.llvm.org/docs/HardwareAssistedAddressSanitizer... & https://source.android.com/docs/security/test/hwasan )
I mean that's certainly part of it. If (and it's a big if) you can run a project for less money, you probably should.

However I'm not sure it's as large-scale a thought process as "let's keep industry wages as low as we can" and more "I will look good if I can trim my budget, so I'm going to try to do that." The effect is the same, generally, but not quite as nefarious.
I hate getting them. They pop up around election cycles. I sometimes respond nicely, but sometimes more directly to "pound the dirt"
Electricity prices have jumped about 50% this year in Maine, so the calculations many used when installing heat pumps are way off.

Then you sure would like this new concept, called slavery.
Apparently part of the problem in the US is unreliable electricity supply. In Europe you can reasonably count on the electricity supply not having an outage of more than a few hours (and even that's rare). According the HN comments on past submissions on this topic, it seems that's not the case in the US.
That's not the philosophy of the C++ compiler writers. There are linters that suggest it, but compilers don't do this sort of warning.
That's annoying. HAARP is essentially just a steerable RF beam that heats the ionosphere for RF propagation research, or can be used to bounce RF off of the moon. Neither have any effects on fault line stress or slippage that I am aware of.

So herein lies the point of all this.

People who know its bullshit, know its bullshit, and can tell other people (who don't know) that it is bullshit.

It should not be up to any government or company to use force or coercion to meter any idea or speech unless it is, on the rarest of occasion, illegal.

Our civilization is more connected than ever before. We have access to untold volumes of knowledge. Greater than any library in history. If he were alive today, Aristarchus of Samothrace, the 6th head librarian of the Library of Alexandria, would give his left nut for just 10 minutes on the internet.

We built a vast and wonderful civilization that is almost to the star-faring stage, and we did it without government censors or censorship by ideologues. The very notion of some bureaucrat, state actor, or crybully mod deciding what you should think or read insults the collective intelligence and struggle for absolute truth from the last 2500 years of human history.
>Eventually the whole internet would be flooded with cheap AI generated content and clearly AIs need human generated content to train on so it'll be the snake eats itself.

Geniune human-generated content will retreat to account-gated networks and private group chats where everyone knows one another. The rest of the internet will just be incestuous AI-generated chum.

In a way, it'd be an improvement. Genuine connection doesn't scale, so let's be honest about keeping it away from random parasites online.
That article does not seem to have been updated given the recent massive trove of information provided by the Twitter files. [1] A group, "Hamilton 68", was a central source on the "Russian trolls" narrative. They were widely cited, frequently as an exclusive source, by media and congressmen alike. They had a secret list of 644 "Russian trolls" whom they surveilled and used to populate their dashboard on the latest trends in Russian disinformation.

The problem is that those were mostly just 644 seemingly random, primarily conservative, "real" Western individuals. For instance David Horowitz [2] was a "Russian troll." Others included individuals who had written books on the US constitution, a conservative news editor, and so on. So basically whatever conservative individuals were discussing was labeled as "Russian disinformation" which the media (and congress) then simply took at face value and repeated.

Incidentally Twitter also knew that the "Russian disinformation" stuff was, itself, largely disinformation. They were able to determine Hamilton's entire list by simply looking at their API calls. While there was lively internal debate about whether they should go public with this information or not, and they did push back in private, they ultimately chose to remain publicly silent - just as the mainstream media is now also doing, leaving me to link to rando sites in lieu of where these stories ought be.

The one thing I'm certain about is that reading the book, 20 years from now, about whatever's happening now - is going to be interesting.

Fall in petrol use in gas-guzzling US heralds shift for global markets
Utilities are well-regulated. There may need to be some adjustments to policy but it's solvable so long as we vote for the right people (a big if, for sure). Increasing adoption of heat pumps and EVs is also going to require a ton more electricity generation which is another policy issue to solve, but again totally solvable. Most power consumption is during the day and the coldest time is night, so I'd think this is not as bad an issue as it seems. We already support a huge amount of air conditioning during summers with only occasional problems.
There's variants with slight differences in hardware like fan and SSD. It's common for consoles too.
Of course.

Worth mentioning also (moving away from the poor now) wingback furniture, flannel pajamas with caps, canopy beds, bedwarmers with hot rocks or coals from the fire, three-piece wool suits during the day, etc...

Nvidia is believed to be developing a custom mobile GPU for Nintendo's next console.

They posted a job ad in 2022 saying "looking to hire a deeply technical, creative and hands-on software engineer to pioneer the next generation of Graphics Developer Tools for Game Consoles"
