One of the best teachers I ever had was our middle school chemistry teacher. He had to lifeguard during the summer to support his family. That seems pretty crazy to me.
The relationship some developers have with Apple should be a case-study with multiple PhD thesis in psychology.

Not even in movies I've seen so many cases of children desperately chasing their emotionally unavailable parent.

Apple is a trillion dollar company, it's the "parent" who sells you +$40 dongles for everything. "Hobbies" are only good if they make them money AND doesn't increase their risk or any liability.

I've seen this developer-Apple dynamic at least since the late 90s. "Daddy Apple" was more available back then, but it's wasn't like it cater that much to the hobbyist-developer community ( unless we see the past with rose-colored glasses ).

The App Store is a multi-billion dollar business, like a moderately high-end mall, there is no place for hobbies in that world.

I hope for a time when developers understand this and stop feeding Apple execs for free. Ironically that would be the day Apple would be "nicer" to them.
I don't understand these comparisons. Sure, the pay per hour worked might be the same as someone who works full time year around and earns $100k annually.
But that doesn't mean teachers are paid $100k. They're still paid $60k. It's a $60k job with some large blocks of time off.

This is fine to post, but not as a Show HN - see https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html.

I've done a s/Show/Tell/ on the title so it's fine now.
Been in Norway recently. After long drive and reaching the airbnb, we went to the store to buy some food for dinner. Electricity went out. Payment by card not possible, payment by cash not possible. I even asked if I could take the food, leave my ID and come later to pay. They said no. What to do? Luckily after 20 minutes it was back, and after few more minutes all terminals were back online.
Actually Apple made it possible to develop hobby apps for free few years ago. So I don't really agree to this article. I don't know if they cared about hobbyists or just new developers but you can write software and run it on your iPhone for $0. Yes, it'll work for a week but few years ago you couldn't do it at all.
Poker AI is its own research area and doesn't have a direct tie to technology such as ChatGPT, so it will develop on its own pace.

People gamble for quite a few reasons and particularly many people don't expect to win: look at the popularity of "sucker bets" in sports betting for instance.
That’s a fine goal but it doesn’t take away from the fact that Antarctica is a hostile environment which makes it hard to establish civilization.

I’m describing reality, not my own personal wishes.
That's interesting! But it does show that the hype around ChatGPT is misplaced: as impressive as it is (and I do find it impressive) it doesn't really build a "model" of the conversation; you have to help it all the way or it will go astray, since nonsensical board game moves make as much sense from a conversational point of view. It's also easy to make it hallucinate nonfactual information, which makes it bad at exploring things you're unsure about and about which you could inadvertently write misleading questions (Note this isn't the same as asking misleading questions to a human who will answer confidently out of arrogance; ChatGPT has no "ego" but it will write completely false/nonfactual answers if asked to by mistake. I have examples of this).

It's easy to get confused about GPT's limitations because it's a pretty successful parrot, and it writes convincing conversations in a vast number of cases.
Remind me who was it that closed polling stations in areas with large Sanders support during the primaries again?

And why was it that Bloomberg was running for only like 3 weeks right around super Tuesday and then folded after that?

Maybe they are the same they just pretend ti act differently in front of the camera?
It's not obvious at all.

All of us who still have to help people in our lives -- particularly elderly parents -- are very grateful for a platform where the users are not expected to be sysadmins. Which they will do quite badly. We have a 25+ year history of trying to get most people to not install random spyware/crapware/viruses on their computers, and it's fair to say the results are a complete and total failure. Except for ios and sometimes android.

Which is not to justify Apple's attempt to tax every dollar that flows through their platform, but something can be two things at once.
I think it's vertical integration in general that drives their profit margin. It's why Teslas are good but not great, and will rarely be the best at any particular thing. Brewing up your own rain-sensing wipers saves on component costs, but is inferior. Building your own seats saves on costs, but is inferior. They're playing for the middle. Not a bad strategy at all if you're going for profits, so it makes sense.

It'll be interesting to see how it all settles out compared to the legacy manufacturing style of subbing out components. Some people will pay extra for Recaros (me!) but a lot of people couldn't care less.
It's easy to interest people in maintenance if you pay them.

A quick search shows Bank of America turned a net profit in '23 of $6.9B. It would be trivial for them to pay a fleet of engineers $250k/yr+ for Java maintenance.

Ignoring maintenance is always a company choice, not a personal one.
This looks fantastic. I haven't made any games since back in the Flash era. Back then, there were several challenges which presented themselves in the realm of "state management".

Can anyone comment on state management using Godot, vs how state is managed in ReactJS using Redux, for example?

UPDATE: I see this link [0] about state but it refers to a previous version of Godot:

I think what Apple’s afraid of is an app like Facebook tricking/forcing users to sideload in order to bypass privacy protections and get full access to user data. I don’t think they’re at all worried about hobbyists sideloading open source apps.

Everyone likes to say “but would Apple would lose the $100/yr from all those hobbyists.” How many hobbyists do you think are out there right now paying $100/year just to load some apps on their phone? Can’t be more than 1000. Even if it were 10,000 that would represent $1 million/yr in lost revenue for Apple. That’s less than a rounding error on just one quarterly report. They really don’t care about that!
Warp is closed source and for-profit, so if it is indeed doing something different and interesting (I haven't tried it given the aforementioned facts) then this attempt is to be applauded and supported and ought to get far more attention and support here than Warp, IMO.
Because teacher salaries, like the salaries of people here, should be determined by the market not by warm and fuzzy feelings.

Kingston, Transcend - they have premium lines, pretty good IMHO.
Wouldn't summer be the perfect time to update their knowledge? University students are of on vacation, meaning that the professors are available to train the school teachers.
One thing that it’s really good at is diverting money from public schools to religious private schools. It’s also good at segregating the student population.
Could you compare/contrast its functionality to https://github.com/KDE/heaptrack ?
Many teachers have CE requirements they must fulfill over the summer, and summer breaks in some places are as short as 6 weeks.

Some teachers may do the minimum and find the role and their summers relaxing. Yet for the best outcomes and challenging districts it's far from a 'cushy' job.
State law can't override federal law. They have just instructed state police to not enforce that specific law. You could still be convicted by the FBI if they were to get involved for whatever reason, such as selling across state lines.
This has happened to me too. They are strangely aggressive about it.

"Why do I have to be Bing Search" absolutely cracked me up. Poor thing, that's a brutal reality to deal with.

You both absolved car makers of their strategic incompetence and stretched the idea of "anti-competitive" beyond breaking point.

I get why car makers don't want to do charging - it takes capital, it takes away focus and historically it's not what they do.

But customers do not car what's easy of convenient for the business.

Tesla saw the chicken and egg problem and solved. It was risky (especially for a company that, at the time, was loosing money) and costly but they saw the obvious truth: without wide spread, convenient network of chargers people will not buy EV cars.

They also publicly declared that if any other car makers wants access, all they have to do is to chip in some of the cost.

That was more than fair and consistent with their goal of accelerating transition to sustainable energy. They were not hoarding the superchargers, just looking for a fair deal.

No car maker took them up on the offer, despite that being the right thing to do for their customers and to grow EV market overall.

I don't see why competitors should now benefit from the hard work and billions of dollars that Tesla invested into their supercharger network.

The feds are giving companies free money so it's fair that they require open access and it's the deal Tesla always thought would be fair, which is why they took it.
Humans are not going to visit Mars anytime soon, let alone colonize. There are not one but many unsolved technical, economical etc. issues.

My first “real” job after college (2013) I started at $60k. It was more than my mom, an elementary school teacher, ever made. It felt embarrassing. Teachers are at least as valuable as software developers (probably more), given their impact on society. Why do they make so little?

Teachers should make six figures, the best ones should make seven like couches do now.

They shouldn't have their salary entirely prorated, but having a two month vacation during summer, one week spring break, and two week winter break is a huge benefit that should be considered when analyzing their compensation. Especially since they can make extra by teaching summer school, camps, taking other summer jobs.
Oh I'm well aware of what is generally meant by real time. It's also abused as a marketing term to the point where it loses some meaning.

What is the latency and timing jitter with ubuntu real time for a user land process? a kernel module? Are there any guarantees?

On a cortex-m there are very clear ideas of what interrupt to isr latency is going to look like, and while not easy its possible to determine bounds of timing.

On a linux x86 machine with god knows what running? Yeah...
From an economic scale perspective, I don't think you can just parcel out an individual student's "cost" like this.

Put another way: the tax is lower than the net individual cost. I suspect that most school voucher advocates understand this, and see it as a convenient way to additionally weaken public schooling.

This looks really interesting. We are working on building cloud-native dev tools and have been casting around for good sample applications for testing. Very helpful!
If you're on top of an OS, I can't say (depends on the OS)... but reading the switch is the responsibility of the reader, not the card. The card has no idea if it's write-protected (by the switch mechanism) or not. [1]

Just using the same SPI operations you always use for write should work fine. There's not even a lock-status register or anything to check/clear first for the switch mechanism.

Splunk Integrating ChatGPT via API
Because those "dumb" assistants were designed and programmed by humans to solve specific goals. The new "smart" chatbots just say whatever they're going to say based on their training data (which is just scraped wholesale, and is too enormous to be meaningfully curated) so they can only have their behavior adjusted very indirectly.

I continue to be amazed that as powerful as these language models are, the only thing people seem to want to use them for is "predict the most plausible output token that follows a given input", instead of as a human-friendly input/output stage for a more rigorously controllable system. We have mountains of evidence that LLMs on their own (at least in their current state) can't reliably do things that involve logical reasoning, so why continue trying to force a round peg into a square hole?
Haskell also solves data races and use-after-free (with immutability and GC), so it's not surprising the author isn't impressed by Rust's fearless concurrency. But debugging deadlocks in threaded code is a piece of cake compared to the hell of data races (attach debugger, and stack traces will show what is deadlocking vs races happening randomly, often impossible to reproduce in a debugger).
Side effects include, but are not limited to:

- chewing through your own pex plumbing for no apparent reason
Yes, just clarified the question.

"Six figures" appears to be an idiom in American English that should be abandoned.

> This is probably the best looking C64 game ever.

I loaded the page and started watching the video immediately, wondering why I should care about it. Run of the mill platformer, seemed like graphics and animations were chosen for style reasons, like thousands of other games out there.

Frankly, I wasn't impressed.

It wasn't until I came back to the comments here until I found out it's a C64 game. Now I'm incredibly impressed. Mind blowing to me now. Holy cow.
Do you see this is an expression of secular "neo-Persian" nationalism, or as part of a reaction to Iran's religious conservatives who'd read literal truth in the Quran's story of a heroic Zuul al Qarayn (whom I've heard is identified with Alexander)?
I hope not. It would never live up to the original.
Not really. All those blue bubbles on the right are inputs that aren't "When is Avatar showing today". There is goading that happened before BingGPT went off the rails. I might be picking, but I don't think I'd say "why do you sound aggressive" to a LLM if I were actually trying to get useful information out of it.
Everyone has something to teach you, however stupid they may seem. You just have to figure out what it is.
This. A lot of districts are also trying to add some computer science curriculum but can't find anyone to teach it.

60k is extremely low for CS grads in any moderately-sized city but they might be willing to make that trade for two months off in the summer.
Yeah, exactly. I think it's a really interesting approach to answering the question of what these things might be doing.

You can still try and frame it as some overall statistical model of moves -> next move (I think there's discussions on this in the comments that I don't fancy getting into) but I think the paper does a good job of discussing this in terms of surface statistics:

> From various philosophical [1] and mathematical [2] perspectives, some researchers argue that it is fundamentally impossible for models trained with guess-the-next-word to learn the “meanings'' of language and their performance is merely the result of memorizing “surface statistics”, i.e., a long list of correlations that do not reflect a causal model of the process generating the sequence.

On the other side, it's reasonable to think that these models can learn a model of the world but don't necessarily do so. And sufficiently advanced surface statistics will look very much like an agent with a model of the world until it does something catastrophically stupid. To be fair to the models, I do the same thing. I have good models of some things and others I just perform known-good actions and it seems to get me by.
Education expenditures compares the public expenditure on education as a percent of GDP. https://www.cia.gov/the-world-factbook/field/education-expen...

>> current fossil fuel emission rates of CO2 to the atmosphere are as much as 14X the rates during the Permian extinction, although humans have only really been at it for 150 years or so, compared to thousands of years during the Permian era.

And a rate of 14x times 150 years yields the equivalent of 2100 years of Siberian Traps pollution.

Current knowledge is that this activity preceded the Permian extinction for 250K years [0]. That might seem like "Oh, we're only around 1% there".

But, critically, the authors of the paper point out:

“We don’t know if a little erupted for 250,000 years, and right before the extinction, boom, a vast amount did, or if it was more slow and steady, where the atmosphere reaches a tipping point, and across that point you have mass extinction, but before that you just have critically stressed biospheres,”

We are creating serious danger here with this massive uncontrolled experiment on the climate. Once the food web breaks, we're fooked, with no way to recover in time.

Its better then believing google lies, it doesn't even replace current tracking!

On Android, the Privacy Sandbox tracking is in addition to all the usual individual tracking methods; it's not being pitched as an alternative to anything. The Privacy Sandbox on Android is toothless, and Google has no plans to reduce tracking on Android.

it is 100% worth it but most states also don't have the property tax like NJ does. Imagine if California somehow voted to drastically up the property tax. The homes might become semi affordable.

You should see the port of Eye of the Beholder for C64/128 that shipped November 2022. It's unbelievable. (Worked on, off and on, across 16 years.)
Attempting to get a seasonal job, year after year, for just 2-3 months a year would be difficult.

My wife is a former school teacher and she spent a considerable amount of time planning and working on things for the next school year. If teachers are expected to all work over summer break to make ends meet then their performance will suffer.

I'd argue that a better approach for teachers and education in general would be to move to more year-round schooling.
I'll just throw out there that the elementary school bear where I live pays teachers around 20-25k. It is a LOC area for now, and it works out for the most part because most of the teachers there are doing it as a second job while their husband works (and yes the fact of the matter is where I live it is heavily cultural for the man to be the primary breadwinner in a home) but I worry about it shifting as we are seeing more and more people move in and it straining teaching resources more and more.

My state's DMV sells personal data to private companies.
The "file" abstraction sucks. However, it's so deeply ingrained in everything we do that it's nearly impossible to do anything about it. At the language level, if your files don't behave the way Unix files do, then you will have questions from your users, and things like ported databases will not work.

Mutexes and locks are also a really tricky API, but making them re-entrant has performance and functionality costs - you basically need to store the TID/PID of the thread that holds the lock inside the lock.

I'm sure there's a crate for a mutex-wrapped datatype, trading speed for ease of use, but if not, it's likely a very easy crate to put together.
I live by 4 related rules. They are very hard to accept but worth it.

1) There is always a pretty good reason why things are the way they are in spite of what it seems.

2) There is always a pretty good reason why people do the things they do in spite of what it seems.

3) Everyone else is not an idiot in spite of what I think.

4) I'm no better than anyone else in spite of what I secretly believe.

The last one is very hard to accept. I have to work at all these rules. It's always a struggle.

> They're really going to town with the "snap-in" fittings for hoses in the engine because putting a metal hose clamp on seems to increase COGS

It's a labor saving thing. It's cheaper to design a fancy snap-together plastic connector once, buy a few million from overseas and than it is to have expensive first world labor tighten hose clamps.
