Well a linter can do as much or as little as you want. Certainly having global checks is better than having only local checks and if you can check the whole codebase in under half a second, why not?
Oh it will 100% show you even more podcast spam if you accidentally interact with any of it.
Thank you for the kind words! We have a ton of work ahead of us (obviously), but we're excited about the new direction.
That's pretty old 3D rendering tricks causing those overall though. Like I fail to see recent games doing those at all.

Overall, shadows aren't the hard part nowadays, it's light that is. Global illumination and light bouncing back around that is. Though shadows ARE very expensive still.

Honestly, yeah. Doubling down on China was a mistake, and now there are no easy outs for the hardware side of things. Apple tried manufacturing the Mac Pro in the US, but I doubt the numbers on that added up in the US' favor.

Correcting course is the right move to make now, but people were right when they called Apple's Chinese supply chain a deal with the devil. Now the devil has come to take their dues, and the first world is scrambling to make sense of it all.

I'm tired of this "4D chess" mindset around Chinese manufacturing. It's bad for everyone but the Chinese government, and you can't pretend like it's a sustainable mindset. Supporting the systematic oppression, sterilization and execution of entire ethnic groups is not worth a new iPhone next year.
I think there's also potential value in being able to give feedback on results. If I try to search for something on Google right now and it doesn't give me what I want, my only options are to try a different query or give up. This puts the onus on me to learn how to "ask" properly. On the other hand, using something like ChatGPT and asking it a question gives me the option to tell it "no, you got this part wrong, try again". This isn't necessarily useful for all queries, but some queries might have answers that you can verify easily.

Over the weekend, I was shopping for laptops and tried searching "laptops AMD GPU at least 2560x1440 resolution at least 16 GB RAM", and of course Google gave all sorts of results that didn't fit those criteria. I could use quotes around "16 GB RAM", but then some useful results might get excluded (e.g. a table with "RAM" or even "Memory" in one column and "16 GB" in another, or a laptop with a higher resolution like 4K), and I'd still get many incorrect results (e.g. an Amazon page for a laptop with 1920x1080 resolution and then a different laptop in "similar options" with 2560x1440 resolution but an Nvidia GPU). I decided to try using ChatGPT to list me some laptops with those criteria; it immediately listed five correct models. I asked for five more, and it gave one correct option and four incorrect ones, but when I pointed out the mistakes and asked for 10 more results that did fit my criteria, it was able to correctly do this. Because I can easily verify externally if a given laptop fits my criteria or not, I'm not at risk of acting on false information. The only limitation is that ChatGPT currently won't search the internet and has data limited to 2021 and earlier. If it had access to current data, I think there would be a lot of places that it would be useful, especially given that it wouldn't necessarily replace existing search engines, but complement them.
Nice. Repurpose and reuse for when these things get thrown away next year.
Oh, reading this again. Do you mean something ChatGPT is excellent at answering? The only problem with that is that ChatGPT is really just an excellent bullshit machine, as in it is really good at making stuff up. So I would probably get some questionable information when it comes to smaller details.
Whereas with government, you can keep afloat a government no matter how bad it is, how badly run, how useless or how dangerous it is. Except, as opposed to a company, it can’t crash like Enron or be threatened by competition. It doesn’t even need to fight to stay afloat.

If you had looked at the link I shared you see that only 20% of US prisoners are there for any charge related to drugs and most of them have multiple priors. The policies were not invented to "ail the black population" this is patently false. The war on drugs was championed among others by figures like Jesse Jackson and the whole of the Congressional Black Caucus in the 1980s.

> But you are right it’s not directly comparable - the usual American way of dealing with the Uighur ethnic group is killing them from safe distance (see Middle East), not incarceration.

Again you're engaged fully in whataboutism here. I get that you have a giant hate boner for the US, but you're spewing nonsense. I'm not here to justify the war in Iraq, it was wrong. But locking up 3 million people in your own territory for no reason and surveilling a whole population around the clock is pure evil. Its gross that you're trying to defend it.
> it's actually accurate

Are we sure? I would normally interpret "zoning amnesty" to mean "you wouldn't normally be allowed to build that thing there, but we'll allow it", and letting people avoid earthquake codes would be more like "building code amnesty". Did these certificates actually exempt projects from the building code?
Except we should have noticed a generation ship. Particularly if we're assuming aliens not much more advanced than we are. It would be big and it would give off a lot of heat and it would have to be in orbit. I think you're underestimating the technological complexity of building what is essentially a sealed, self-sustaining biosphere capable of running for tens of thousands if not millions of years. Maybe on a napkin we're anywhere near able to do something like that.

Plus this goes against the common narrative that these craft display propulsion capabilities that appear to defy physics, which (if we're assuming aliens) implies anti-gravity at a minimum. No one is claiming to encounter UAPs or UFOs with wings and conventional rockets. Again, that's something we only kind of know how to do on a napkin, and even then only if we fudge the numbers.

At the very least, I would want to assume any civilization capable of interstellar travel to be at least 1000 years ahead of us, technologically. Even with generation ships and no space magic. It's just a big stupid round number but I intend it to mean generally as far ahead of us now, in terms of scientific knowledge and technological progress, and assuming a few paradigm shifts ahead, as we are ahead of the Middle Ages.

Figure 6 shows the method with gel particles. If I'm interpreting it right, it's suspended on a liquid (I most likely am wrong).
I suspect that most people who have interacted with remote teams based in India, have had the same experiences.

I'm honestly surprised that Apple didn't choose Vietnam or Indonesia over India.
Would you be willing to provide the recall number from NHTSA based on your VIN? Exposing your VIN is unnecessary. Ford might have provided it directly in their communications to you.
Most people when given the option prefer to "take the loan" out for the company, since most employees will have rewards credit cards.

You get the full cost you paid in your next pay check plus the bonus points on your card, that will be at a minimum 1 percent of the cost and possibly up to 5+ percent if you're lucky and your expense is in a good category.

It's one thing to be off by, say, 5%. It's another thing to be years or two orders of magnitude off. I'm not expecting Musk to be perfect, I'm expecting him to be reasonably close with his predictions.

And many, many of Tesla's predictions aren't predictions. In 2014, Tesla promised full self driving on cars and took money for it. Those cars today will never have it (despite paying for it), and it's been nearly a decade with FSD still an indeterminate period away.

And yeah, new account. That's how I interact with HN -- create an account, keep it until it gets some amount of karma (usually 500-1000) decide it's too much of a drain to try and be grounded here, and delete the account. Inevitably, someone comes along and makes a breathy and incredible claim like "tesla is an absolute success" and I feel like I need to come in and provide just a little bit of "Hey, so, the facts don't exactly line up there..." To be clear, I don't create anti-tesla accounts, and this isn't an alt for another existing account, I just don't like having a long term account here.
They've done well in the pharma industry recently, but it's their one major success.
Did you generate this with Bing? I don't believe this answer is human-written. It describes 2 separate projects with the words "It is available on GitHub and can be used in various research projects".
Per Bloomberg, this is specifically regarding a group of workers who "label data for Tesla’s Autopilot technology."
When you can design from scratch it is so much easier to make an efficient home. But where I live new construction is next to impossible because of the permitting requirements which can take years to complete, so unless you have lots of time and a plot of land already zoned as residential and approved for building you will be in the queue forever.
Straw man aside, that’s the cost of freedom. To think freedom has no price, that it’s a utopia, is a mistake as old as time.

Because when the “other” is in power, and uses the force that you’ve granted them, then it’s authoritarianism.

And let’s be honest, kids aren’t a blank slate. That’s been proved incorrect time and time again.

Yes such influences you mentioned are heinous, obviously. But humans aren’t robots, as has happened with many in religious groups, once the kid is exposed to the outside world their views typically change. And with the internet and technology, it’s harder than ever to withhold information, especially from adolescent youth.

Beyond simple support for your carrier's specific cellular bands, a lot of smartphone functionality is tied into the carrier's implementation/integration with your phone.

Apple keeps a list of supported carrier features on this page: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204039

This used to be more of a problem ~5-7 years ago or so. I'd buy an obscure Android phone and I couldn't use things like Visual Voicemail, Voice over LTE, or WiFi Calling.

Verizon used to be and may still be picky about which phones they activate as well. My Nexus 5X supported all the bands required to work with Verizon, but they refused to activate the phone on their network, despite ordering a plain SIM card for BYOD.

I stopped perceiving this as a negative thing and started to consider it a part of google's culture. I suppose projects like https://killedbygoogle.com helped. Now I'm realising the obvious, i.e. that at the end of the day each discontinued product means sunken cost and if the product was public then also loss of trust.
Some context: Jan Grabowski, like Jan T. Gross, have both been accused of shoddy, even tendentious research by other scholars. This is perhaps orthogonal to the subject of Wikipedia edits as such (Wikipedia is plagued with all sorts of systematic distortion; I've personally seen a number of German nationalist attempts to rewrite history), but I would suspend judgement about any historical claims Grabowski makes as this is topic that is politically charged and leveraged in ongoing political or quasi-political activity. (For example, see H.R. 1226 and Act S.447 which on paper enable unscrupulous organizations to brazenly extract enormous sums of restitution from the Polish state for "heirless" property formerly belonging to Polish citizens of the Jewish faith, something that is unheard of. Heirs can, of course, appeal to the courts for restitution, but the internationally accepted practice is that any heirless property reverts back to the state. The attempt to violate this practice, especially give that Germany bears the responsibility for the whole calamity in question, benefits greatly from prior manufacturing of guilt and the discrediting of unflattering historical facts through tactics like false accusations of bigotry. Norman Finkelstein calls this the "Holocaust industry", that is, the cynical exploitation of the memory of the Holocaust for political and financial gain. To avoid enabling such unjust practices, we must maintain a critical and distanced stance here.)
One step closer to transporter technology
sometimes things are out of your hands, like when russia invades ukraine.

recall that i was responding to someone saying that anti-war folks are actually pro-genocide and anti-west. so, from the anti-war perspective, if what you want is peace, (which is what anti-war means), then "arming ukraine for a decisive victory" is what, exactly? it's giving ukraine weapons, or, to put it in other words: it's giving money to weapons manufacturers.

if you think giving money to weapons manufacturers will lead somehow to peace, then i don't know what to tell you.

you could shorten the war by aiding russia, but obviously no one wants that. that would genuinely encourage violence, like when the united states aids saudi arabia against the people of yemen.

since the rest of the world can't make choices on russia's behalf, the only thing to be done, from an anti-war perspective, is to mitigate the damage russia does to ukraine, and encourage, through non-violent means, a cessation of violence.

arming ukraine is the opposite of that.

what else could the united states do? (or whatever country, i'll just go with the united states for the sake of brevity.) the united states could invade ukraine too, to counter russia. would that end the russia-ukraine war? no, it would just start the america-russian war.

all i'm trying to convey is that anti-war people are, probably, for the most part, actually just that. conversely, if you're pro-ukraine, or anti-russia, or anti-ukraine, or pro-russia, you are, probably, for the most part, actually not anti-war. you have other priorities, which is your business, not mine. but i won't just be called pro-genocide by someone who's gotten themselves all worked up into a froth for war.
It remains to be seen how that will go. Pro-nuke people were pretty stoked for Olkiluoto/Flamanville/Hinkley Point too and that didn't work out so well despite being a much more proven technology and form factor. I think it's way to soon to consider SMRs a solution to demand for green energy, right now it's more like a big experiment with highly uncertain outcome.
No second chances on price gougers from me. They knew the ethics of that before they chose to do it. Maybe other manufacturers can learn something from their demise.
And then goes on to laud Numba, which uses LLVM underneath as well.
Show HN: Next-gen spreadsheet GRID launches GPT-3 powered formula copilot
Hi Hacker News, we are submitting again after getting some great feedback on our first post about GRID.

We at GRID (a spreadsheet SaaS based in Reykjavik, Iceland) just launched the 2.0 version of our product today.

GRID combines the power of spreadsheets and presentation/text editing software into one product. You can edit your spreadsheet, and create an interactive doc on top of it which is connected to the underlying spreadsheet data. In today's launch, we introduced our GPT-3 powered formula assistant that allows you to write out queries in natural language, and the assistant will suggest formulas, right there in the cell.

We would love to hear your thoughts and feedback.

Here's a video that shows what the formula assistant can do: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UIfAnEvDCdo&t=15s

Check out this blog our founder wrote about the various ways GPT could be leveraged for spreadsheets: https://medium.grid.is/gpt-3-and-spreadsheets-4808acfda30d
My layperson's impression is that Apple has very demanding standards for iPhone manufacturing, and I had some questions:

* Do contracts like this provide good metrics for a manufacturing concern aspiring to that level of capability?

* How transferable are the capabilities needed to make an iPhone casing on-budget with low defect rate? For example, does it get you 1/4 of what you need to make a touchscreen (e.g., logistics management, worker process culture, leadership)?
Yep, I'd much rather protect my kids from censorship than the things bring censored.
[2022], but about events in 2017.
Important to note: this is dependent on the implementation-specific sizeof(int). So while on most architectures uint16_t is the unsigned type that cannot be safely multiplied; on others uint8_t or uint32_t might be unsafe to multiply.

As a result, it is nearly impossible to write platform-independent code that does something like hashing (where wraparound is intended) while also producing consistent results across platforms. If course in reality, it's the other way around: 64-bit platforms were forced to define `int` as a 32-bit integer, because otherwise they wouldn't be able to run any existing code.

C23 finally fixes this by introducing new fixed-size integer types _BitInt(N) that don't suffer from this numeric promotion mess.
But of course the typedefs everyone is using will have to stay broken.
Stable Diffusion is a lot smaller than GPT3. It has a bit less than a billion parameters while GPT3 has 175 billion parameters.

I would bet that we can do better than GPT3 with less computing resources but that would need a different model architecture.

Thank you! It's been less than 2 months since the pivot, so some of the questions you mentioned are still things we're trying to figure out :)

We'll publish another post soon though about how we got from idea to a public alpha launch, which will cover some of the early learnings and decisions we made.
Ukraine is not an American ally.
I feel like there’s something weird going on in most companies above a certain size. I’ve worked at small companies with a wonderful culture and people put in lots of work to get a beautiful product shipped. But then when the company grows something changes and pushes those original passionate people out. Everyone else sees the passionate people get treated bad and react appropriately. Suddenly the large company carved its own soul out, and then wonders why its workers come empty.

I would do all I could for a job that respected me as a human being. But it’s gotten to the point where you can’t trust anyone above you, no matter what they say. Doing well in a growing company means you have to get more and more cutthroat, so you’re incentivized to try less and less.
I started using Linux around 2002. I evaluated and quickly dismissed it as a desktop OS largely because it didn't allow me to play the games I wanted to play. In 2021 or 2022 I finally switched, thanks entirely to Steam on Linux (more specifically, thanks to the Proton/WINE integration). I haven't looked back. I'm on Arch, if anyone is curious.
Took art class in college a few years ago for kicks. One of first things is learning to see lights and darks. Spend 3 hours a day for several weeks in a pitch black room with only a single source light. Eventually working to drawing a curtain in charcoal. You don’t try and draw a curtain.

No form to it. You just have to draw lights and shadows as you “see” them. At end you have a well drawn curtain.

After awhile your entire perspective even outside of class changes. You naturally see lights and darks. Not just objects.
Far-UVC (~205-222 nm) light can’t penetrate cell walls and thus does not risk DNA damage.

However, our skin heavily depends on friendly bacteria to do useful things. One concern that I have yet to see research testing is the impact of extended Far-UVC exposure on these microbial populations.

2. Please do not misconstrue the opinion of one writer that lived 200 years ago into a proper grammar rule (see the history section). Worse, please do not be dogmatic about it when it has nothing to do with the topic. It is, in essence, the equivalence of an ad hominem attack.
Here you are projecting Russia and Soviet Union onto China again. Yet where is your evidence that the projection is remotely fitting? I cited a source: prominent statesman Kishore Mahbubani who testifies that the Soviet Union is not at all comparable to China.

With your point wrt Taiwan you seem to be saying that if anti-war protests are suppressed then that is evidence that the country is a dictatorship. But the problem is that many countries — even western ones — suppresses dissent once they enter a war. Heck Germany is not even officially at war but anyone voicing public support for Russia can be legally reprimanded.

You also seem to ignore the aspect of whether people can actually enact policy changes. People protesting against the Middle Eastern wars didn't prevent them. What use is the ability to protest when they don't change anything?

I really don't know why everybody obsesses about Xi's term limits as if that's some sinister sign. Observe that Xi has been around for about as long as Merkel and Kohl.

More generally, all this talk about "authoritarian regimes" is projecting something into China which does not fit. Observe the fact that the late Qing dynasty and the Republic of China were extremely weak, and look where that got us: poor, exploited by foreign democratic powers. When you look at the past 2000 years of Chinese history then you see that prosperous times come when central government is strong. Conversely, when central government is weak, the people suffer. Whatever problems you have with Russia and Soviet Union should not be projected onto China. Whatever problems the west had with strong governments should not automatically mean that China's biggest problems are the same. We've had more problems with not having enough state power than too much state power.
China's government effectively owns all of those factories. When something goes wrong, they put their hands directly into the machine to fix it.

Hopefully India's government doesn't follow in their footsteps, Apple's Chinese manufacturers have a spotty track record vis-a-vis exploiting executive power.
Im not saying that one can not differentiate these things, but people absolutely use spicy/spiced to refer to all of these
