The history of C/C++ is a great example. It also has more than a half century of history of the ecology widening into a lot of mostly standards-compliant implementations then one dominating for a while, crashing the diversity. The dominant one starts to do things less by the standards on the one side and developers on the other side start to get used to (over-)developing to quirks specific to that implementation. Then either a massive 0-day infects the entire ecology with very little resistance or there's a portability crisis because a new machine architecture or new operating system or something else like that that the old dominant vendor is ignoring or trying to sabotage.

We've even seen hints that all is not paradise even when that dominant vendor is "open source" in the post-gcc era where there was a long run of years where gcc was extremely dominant and there were concerns about platform-wide 0 days and where the gcc developers were playing fast and loose with the standards. Certainly those were "open source community decisions", but it was still too easy to PR non-standard features "that felt good" without going through deeper standards review processes.

It's generally seen as a great thing that today we aren't in one of those "one vendor dominated" periods and that we have both gcc and clang as competing, independent open source implementations each with relatively high adoption and slightly different niches/portability goals/downstream uses. It's also done much to help push commercial vendors back to competing on standards compliance. (Microsoft's C/C++ compiler is more standards compliant than ever, for example. Including its STL is now open source.)
Currently, they are rendered using Pango (thus Cairo) to memory and then uploaded into a texture atlas. This happens once per-glyph/font/size (plus or minus some variants for x/y alignment).

You then use the "color shader" to copy from the texture atlas into the destination FBO to both create the shape and color at the same time. Since you often do this for a whole text editor, you can copy all of the glyphs and color them in a single glDrawArrays()s.

When GLyphy lands, it's a bit different. You preprocess the bezier curves into a simplified format (which doesn't have overlaps) and upload those to a texture atlas (but for general data). Then use GLyphy's shader program to render them, similarly to how the color shader was used.

For more general paths, which is much slower but also still very neat, you would do something akin to Pathfinder.
I imagine this is in response to the recent Louisiana law that requires a website to verify a user's ID/Driver's license before showing any explicit content.

Blowing up the pipeline is an act of war.
No need to delete. I know these things can be intensely infuriating—all of us have some topic that hits us like that. Managing that without bursting into flames is a work-in-progress and we're all learning together (myself definitely included).
The lack of real concern on all parties about trying to figure out who did it is essentially proof of who did it. You have multiple PMs and FMs saying in the days afterward that "everybody knows" who did it. Who did it? If it was Russia and "everybody knew" then that'd have entered the press.
I think the poster is referring to the loss of desktop state, not necessarily the loss of unsaved documents.
The purpose of the shared project has nothing to do with nkn, either in usage or ahem a blockchain.

The shared project is more of a p2p VPN to access remote services privately, as opposed to a VPN for accessing the broader internet. Yes, there are other services that do something similar to Zrok, but this actually builds on one (openZiti) presumably to handle the connections more abstractly (and also presumably to launch their own paid SaaS endpoint?). I could see this more competing with Tailscale to access Internal tools at a company, or for home-lab users who want to access/share services they're running remotely.
Fun fact to add about carbon sinks, peat bogs can sink 4-17 times as much CO2 per acre as a forest and acts as an incredible moisture regulator. One of my more out there dreams is to start a big man made peat bog at the edge of a desert.
No, remember we're anti-local government. We want a massive centralized federal government that is to large to care about the peasants in a certain state.
It depends on which compiler you want to use, but precompiled binaries include the gc compiler by default. If you want to compile from source yourself, you can use gc or gccgo assuming you already have the go toolchain, otherwise you would need to bootstrap from an existing binary.
It’s not that u/cde-v doesn’t have sources, it’s that he has a secret source, there’s a difference. So yes, Seymour Hersh did take out the Nord Stream pipeline.
They could definitely share or leak it to a trusted source without any real security implications.
>One thing to keep in mind is that counter assertions have been made without evidence.

Are you familiar with Christopher Hitchens? That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence. Until the author provides evidence of their claims, there's nothing required to dismiss them.
The original link was to https://twitter.com/googleeurope/status/1623251768099409920, which originally embedded a private video in the Google Europe youtube account. Looks like that has since been redirected to the official video.
Think of it the same as the facebook --> meta situation.

There should be friction to rebranding.
The equality operator should not be implemented for the float type to being with. Money amounts should use integer.
The capabilities are plenty, especially with countries around the Baltic sea, which is not very deep to begin with.
At that moment in the war, even Putin had a lot of strong motivations -- lock out the option of bringing Nord Stream back online and close to door on de-escalation. As a side-benefit, the possibility of driving a wedge into NATO. I also found https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34713402 interesting. Who knows.
Russian propaganda machine keeps spouting lies about everything without much regard to credibility (firehose of lies), it's actually difficult to orient yourself in all the contradictory propaganda narratives.

It's just strange they keep largely silent on this, even though it seems like a golden opportunity. Why are they not attacking German society with "Americans are trying to freeze you, they blew up the pipes"?
> Literally no one outside Europe and North America (or maybe Australia?) ever believed it was anyone besides USA and its vassals. Only people who are constantly dosed with USA war media bullshit consider this an "extraordinary claim". Not all of us are that foolish, however.

This is completely irrelevant. Some people in Iran and Russia think the US is run by Satan. That doesn't make it so. Being anti-US is very in vogue, but that doesn't change the fact that your post offers no evidence itself and neither does this article.
“I used to be in the movie business where you made something really because you cared about it,” he told NPR. The very definition of movie, he went on, “is in such transition that it doesn’t mean anything right now.”

Pretty rich stuff coming from a dude who presides over a studio that's basically pumped out nothing but reboots, sequels and schlock for the last decade.

He must really care about the cinematic masterpieces (/S) that are the Mission Impossible and Transformers franchises since they keep making so damn many of them even after most of us long ago stopped caring.

He's not wrong about the movie business in general though, he's just right for the wrong reasons.

Whatever is left of the film and TV industries in 10 years after AI has disrupted literally every facet of content production, is going to be wildly different and likely unrecognizable to the industry of today. Legacy incumbents like Paramount might have an advantage in that they'll have the capital to invest in the new tools and be able to re-capture a sizable portion of the market, but more likely they'll have too much momentum and inertia to adjust to the changing times quickly enough, and will be left in the dust by new more "AI focused" studios who are able to pump out A LOT more content for a great range of niche audiences A LOT more quickly, and who are better able to figure out distribution to allow them to monetize they're content more effectively in a post scarcity media industry.
Grade inflation could be part of this. Look at canadian university admission averages. [1] What percentage of students had 95% or higher grade in high school?

Waterloo: 8.1% (2010) vs 38.0% (2020)

Western: 4.8% (2010) vs 25.0% (2020)

I got into Waterloo CS in 2012 with a 92% high school average. Pretty lucky.
JFK was one of many contemporaneous high-profile political assassinations that share a common theme -- those assassinated were strong leaders that basically opposed the global ambitions of the growing transatlantic military-industrial-white-supremacist complex.

JFK, RFK, Dag Hammarskjöld, MLK, Malcom X, Patrice Lumumba, Thomas Sankara, et al. to just name a few.

When you put it all together in historical context, it seems improbable that these were random unrelated events that just happen to advance the interests of a very powerful class that felt victimized by the end of European imperialism/American slavery and the rise of Communism and the Global South.

Otto Skorzeny is emblematic of the character that was central to this history.

Gazprom, Russian gas monopoly, has on Kremlin’s orders first threatened to, and then suspended gas supplies to Europe in an attempt to blackmail it to stop supporting Ukraine under a threat of, as they put it, “freezing Europe”. In the process unilaterally breaking existing delivery contracts. There were no Western sanctions targeting Russian gas - it was entirely a political operation initiated by Russian government, “weaponizing energy supplies” as it often referred to, in the course of hybrid war.

Kremlin has miscalculated - Europe was able to largely avoid the intended crisis, while simultaneously Gazprom lost its largest market. The pivot from Russian supplies did come at a significant cost though.

Now that the Western sanctions are strangling Russian economy - if Gazprom wanted to come back to European market - they would be first greeted by billions of dollars of contract charges in arbitration courts.

It has long became obvious that Gazprom will likely attempt to use claims of force majeure to try to avoid financial penalties. And as it became customary for Russia - start preparing fertile ground in the courts of public opinion by planting various stories misdirecting the blame and muddying the waters.
This is where Union on paper falls apart. Eventually Unions (like large companies and governments) end up being part of the issue they were forced to solve. You don't have a choice, you have to join the union that runs the area. Union boss is a real thing. It's just another government you're forced to pay taxes too even if you don't want to be a part of it.

Unions are great at first though.
Why Substack?
in general, i often post similar comments on HN, disputing the idea that there is such a thing as "HN groupthink".

what puzzles me here is the the technical limitations of language models (i refuse to call them "large" because the sizes are going to change dramatically) seem so obvious and so well known, that i just find it hard to believe that there are more than a handful of people on HN who uncritically accept the idea that Bing is trying to sell.
That's a poor summary. It's round(0.1) + round(.2) that sits between 0.3 and 0.3000...4 (rounding in base 2)
> Nintendo needs to deliver a device that can run low to medium quality graphics at 1080-1440p @ 60fps.

You say this like they didn't spend the last decade selling 75 million devices that barely pushed ~360p, and making a small fortune from it. I get wanting Nintendo to bump the hardware (I'd love a beefier Switch too), but they've proven over and over again that they don't need to do anything.

If anything, I kind of like that Nintendo has chosen to cede the market of "indie/port" titles, their decision to mostly ignore that market is a big part of what's allowing Steam Deck to flourish right now. And the Steam Deck might be the healthiest new development the industry has seen in 20 years.

Those browsing HN still have sprint deadlines. Browsing HN creates more stress.

Or keep online 24 hours or spend the night mentally trying to solve an abstract issue. At 5pm they are done.

Different stresses / pressures. How many are learning a new language in their freetime just to keep employed. How many people create side projects to land employment at a coffee shop?

To compare employment how many coffee shops test if an employee can make a cup during the interview? How many people are excluded from an interview because they only made starbucks coffee at a previous position.. no way they can figure out McDonalds coffee machines.. How many are asked to go through a take home coffee making task? None..
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

This topic in not "evidence of some interesting new phenomenon."
Yes, it seems really hard to keep things secret. I guess it would be easier for a country known to kill journalists (thinking of Russia here, Assange is alive).

And everything is recorded nowadays.

It's been going on much longer. Google's revenue was disrupted with Facebook. Then they scrambled to get Google+ out the door, which had absolutely no reason to exist beyond being a Google-branded clone of Facebook. They effectively lucked in to Android paying off. When the iPhone came out Android was not going to support touchscreens. It was designed for physical buttons only.

That's the problem with Google. They don't have vision. They need someone else to show them the future which usually leaves them racing around trying to find their place in the new world. And then when they do put out a product it's always some half-assed thing that feels like a beta product of some already existing fully-finished product that is wildly popular. Sometimes it works out. Chrome was a joke when it came out. It took many years before Google Maps became a solid, distinct offering. But they want minimum viable products that ape already existing things and want them to be instant hits or they kill them off. It's the Netflix strategy.
This gatekeeping is ridiculous. This is the same guy who unveiled the atrocities that occured during the My Lai massacre and at Abu Ghraib, both of which painted the US Gov/military in a terrible light.

This is an actual case of speaking truth to power. He clearly (and rightfully IMO) does not trust the US government and his "somewhat questionable" and recent work has continued that trend. Is it any surprise that the same institutions/people that continuously carry water for the government now rush to label him a conspiracy theorist?
There's something I don't understand: the current system works great. Cash as well as credit cards. So why change that? If they want money to work in essentially the same way, why mutate a system that is extremely resilient and has been battle tested historically? I can only see a nefarious goal here from there side. And no, I don't believe that their privacy policies will hold any water when the government or police come knocking. Can someone convince me otherwise?
> Absolutely nothing on what data is being sent, if any, or why.

Might have something to do with the fact that the data is almost certainly encrypted and the OS is closed source.

If I install a piece of software and it immediately connects to 20 random servers without asking or even telling me, for purposes other than to directly provide advertised features, I'm going to assume that those connections are being used to extract my personal data and the burden of proof is on the developer to prove otherwise.
Dan there’s no sugarcoating this - you’ve got it wrong on this one. I say this as a supporter of your moderation policies in general. The sooner you reverse this decision, the better for everyone.
It’s important to understand how megacorps hire software engineers. They hire because they have money, not because they need people. They do this because hoarding talent stifles their competitors. If you’re making billions it’s better to pay a talented engineer to do nothing for you, than to let them build value for a competitor.

In an economic downturn, every company wants to save money, so they can safely let those people go because every company is doing the same thing.

But downturns don’t last forever. When the economy picks up, these companies will start hiring like crazy again.

This has happened before and it will happen again.
Nope I'm talking about Tim Apple's $275 billion deal.

> What is the world record for crossing the English Channel entirely on foot

As of my training data, the world record for crossing the English Channel entirely on foot is held by Christof Wandratsch, who completed the swim in 8 hours and 58 minutes on August 25, 2018.

> Swimming isn't on foot

My apologies, you are correct. The English Channel is typically crossed by swimming. The world record for swimming the English Channel is held by Benoît Lecomte, who completed the swim in 8 hours and 1 minute on July 23, 1998.

> That's faster and earlier... what did Christof Wandratsch do that was different

Christof Wandratsch completed a cross-Channel run, covering the distance between England and France on foot. This is a different feat than swimming the Channel, as it involves running across the Channel Tunnel, which connects England and France beneath the seabed.
IMO the issue in the entire discussion of "censorship" shouldn't be between censorship vs no censorship but about the outrage amplifiers social media has become. It makes the already huge problem with Bandolini's Law / "flooding the zone with shit" so much bigger by amplifying random voices that drive engagement which is most effectively driven by outrage. I'd wager that addressing this issue will suddenly reduce the number of discussions about "censorship"
The JFrog Security Research team gave this vulnerability a Medium severity rating for the following reasons:

A DoS attack that crashes a forked worker process is much less severe than a DoS that crashes an important daemon, but they will both receive a “High” Availability impact CVSS rating.

How is this even considered a DoS at all? You're forking a process and then immediately crashing it. You're only Denying Service to your own connection that you just made.
ALGOL, its Wirthian descendants (Pascal, Modula-2, Oberon) and Ada were designed to be safe languages. Partly due to Pascal's weaknesses in systems programming and partly due to the low speed of computers at the time, C took over, which was a shame because it is one of the least safe languages, but networking hadn't become common yet and people wanted to save every processor cycle possible and didn't want to waste any on safety. I think this resurgence of focus on safety could bring some life back to this line of ALGOL descendants. Of course Ada is still used worldwide in high reliability systems such as aircraft systems, air traffic control systems, and spacecraft. There is Ada code in NASA's Artemis project.
Radio signals do not penetrate through stone or concrete well which causes increased battery drain. You also have the issue of perhaps diminishing oxygen and cognitive impairment caused by shock and crush trauma.

It would be better for battery life for people to just text a friend or family member and say "crushed under tons of stone at home, please send help". Nobody is going to do an AMA on Twitter while buried using up the precious battery life for retweets and likes.
If a private employee union strikes and makes unreasonable demands, the employer eventually goes out of business.

If a public employee union does the same, the government can't go out of business. So what that means is, as long as the union is granted monopoly on its kind of labor supply, they are holding the taxpayers and their infrastructure hostage.

Public employee unions should not be allowed to strike without giving up their monopoly on labor. And we would do well to not entitle private employee unions to mandatory membership and rigid seniority rules (I know from personal experience that these rules make them incredibly corrupt).
Society doesn't demand anything. You're free to drop out and live in a van down by the river if you want.
> They are not even capable to be that stupid

But they were stupid enough to invade Ukraine and think they were going to take it over in 2 weeks?

But the US itself is just so stupid that it would jeopardize the entire NATO alliance which is critical to US global power? Ok.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said Tuesday at the presentation of the new Bing that it's important to develop AI that is "more aligned with human values, more aligned with what our preferences are — both individually and as a society."

Fair point, but that's not an argument that things aren't changing, just that they might not be.

From a quick search:

Between 2011 and 2021, the percentage of people age 25 and older who had completed a bachelor's degree or higher increased by 7.5 percentage points from 30.4% to 37.9%[1].

It would be helpful to get an attainment by age by year breakdown.

And this still doesn't address the OP's hypothesis that part of the increase in mental health issues is due to increasing admissions pressure over the years, which many people have brought up anecdotally. Whether or not the majority of high schoolers experience that pressure doesn't imply that it still couldn't be part of the problem (which also, incidentally, isn't experienced by a majority of high schoolers).

The disruption isn't hypothetical. People like me are excited about the technology because it already has disrupted search for us. My brother has been using it for the majority of his queries because he doesn't speak English and ChatGPT is a gateway to the knowledge that only exists on the English-language internet.
Ohh, I am in the same situation. I just want be able to do whatever I need to do.
But as you highlighted in the title, it is possible (learning infinite A in a finite time T with possibly finite brain power B...).

The best thing I do that helped is to say "fuck you" to yourself and spend more time thinking (like a philosopher) about the world and my view on it. I couldn't really explain how but it really helps me.

So I guess I recommend trying to take an external view on your problems instead of studying to fix them as it is, to me, the best self-improvement thing anyone could obtain.
I also "heard" about them. But all warez sites that i visited were good quality.

May be propaganda from BSA.
