It's still not a target platform (either native Arch Linux or Proton) for very many games, so updates have broken a number of games that were previously rated "playable" or "verified", rendering them unplayable. TBF in every case I've heard of this happening, Valve has been quick to address it, so you may or may not consider that an issue. I don't game much these days, but when I do it's exclusively on my Linux desktop, so I have a high tolerance for troubleshooting occasional issues, but I definitely think it's a stretch to call that "ultimate."
I stumbled upon a link to an article with an interesting headline. I would like to read it, so I click the link, but there's a paywall. I have no idea what site that even is. This is the first and probably last time I'm seeing it. No way it gets a single cent from me. This just can't work when there are so many news websites competing for subscriptions.

Yes, archive.ph works most of the time, can't recommend it enough.
This. I’ve lost more data to ssd’s than any other medium. After my experiences, I backup all machines using ssd drives.
Mentioned it elsewhere in the thread, but I wonder if this isn't a different operating regime that's possible only under very high economic growth. A country starts projects that deliver quick and absurdly high returns, allowing them to start more, larger projects for more of absurd returns - all that over couple decades, allowing the expertise to develop and remain in house, always busy, enabling delivering even larger-scale projects quickly. Eventually, the returns start being smaller and smaller, until the government starts getting cautious about starting new projects, slowing things down, leading to evaporation of expertise, increased costs, etc.

Kind of like a scramjet engine, or a nuclear reactor, or I guess plenty of other advanced processes (including a technological civilization itself). You may need to boost yourself with a rocket to achieve a velocity at which a scramjet can start operating, but once you get there, you can start going much faster. But, if for some reason, you slow down below the threshold, the scramjet shuts down, and now you're going slow, and can no longer turn the scramjet back on, because you no longer have a rocket to boost you to its minimum operating point.

Under this view, USA's influence is attributable to a one-off leap. Seeing another country going through it now doesn't mean they'll overtake the US in the future - instead, they might run out of steam roughly at the same point the US did.
My experience has been very console like, in that every game I've downloaded just works. 99% of the time there is no fiddling with graphic or control settings, no nothing. Just hit download, launch the game, have fun.

Ocasionally you get a glimpse of the underlying PC-nature of the thing. Once I had to choose one of the community-provided control schemes for a mouse-heavy tabletop game (so even then, pretty straightforward).
Many games have a console-like experience where it just works, no settings, just go into the game. The resolution, and all other settings will have been preselected for best experience on the deck. Steam exposes that in the UI with a "Verified for steam deck" logo. Other games have a "partial compatibility logo". Steam further automatically exposes a "great on deck" collection of my existing steam library, which is approximately a quarter of my library of games going back to 2003.
Works fine for me at the moment.

Modern alternatives to classic Linux tools and a couple of other powerful developer tools
I really like your heuristic, and I'll add to your list of examples where one could work

- Any tech company where the Stats/ML model is one of THE products and differentiators. You'll need to cut through a lot of buzz word and sales-speak to find the good ones.

- Banks and other financial institutions where making uneducated guess is a big no-no when it comes risk, pricing and anything related to financial products. Your example of Credit Risk Modeling is a classic example and very interesting problem.

- As much as consultancy gets a bad rep due to some shady practice from big players, there exists a solid demand for professionals that know Statistics in the Large Construction Projects space. Let's say modeling demand and return financial for a project, proving environmental impact, preparing/implementing/analyzing unbiased surveys in the area, and so on.

- Government agencies where data is one of the Key Outputs. Such as the Census, Bureau of Labor Statistics, CDC, and so many others.

As you said, sometimes it will mean a pay cut, especially if you want to remain in the technical work and not deal with the business and managerial side of things. But there's solid demand.
It also looks weirdly flat compared to contemporary all-in-ones. The Pizza Box Performas were pretty chonk. This stands out because most of their 'cursed' qualities come from being something that could have been but really shouldn't have been.
I once saw that Imogen Heap was captivated by the film The Reason I Jump, based on the book. The book is real chicken-soup-for-the-soul stuff about autism ostensibly by a Japanese kid with the condition. But here's the thing: it was entirely dictated by the technique of facilitated communication, a pseudoscientific and highly controversial technique wherein a person, a facilitator, guides and supports the hand of the autist pointing at a keyboard. The technique tends to produce words coming from the facilitator rather than the autist.

I was and am willing to give Ms. Heap the benefit of the doubt, as she may have been ignorant of the issues surrounding the book, film, and FC in general. But for a brief moment I had a flash feeling of "oh no, not this again", as there was a bit of controversy surrounding Sia and her weird little autism-themed film, Music.

Turing test was passed by a hardcoded bot close to a decade ago. It was never a good test. All it takes is a programmer who understands psychology and then hardcodes a conversation with some testing. Turing really underestimated how easy it is to trick humans.

Can you tell us a little about the models and software packages of credit risk?

Is it trying to take a huge dataset of consumer features and join it to a dataset of loan outcomes and then predict loan outcomes?
I’m actually really excited for this because I use chatGPT all the time for work and being able to share the output of code to another engineer will make things a lot easier. I agree with others about it not being useful for mundane things but there are times chatGPT will generate a lot of code in different blocks & it’s a pain to share.
Maybe some backend concession to allow viewing the article on hostnames/uris that are meant for internal use, partner sharing sites, etc? Like an if/then that checks the origin hostname?

Show HN: GPT-3-based app for couples to build the relationship consciously
I'm a developer and I wanted to improve my technical skills while gaining more product knowledge. It's been challenging to do this at work, so I've been exploring ideas for creating a useful app that will also allow me to use a cool tech-stack and recent AI progress.
I have spoken to many couples and therapists, and a common theme that came up was communication problems. I dug a bit deeper and realized that these issues could be prevented, if people consciously get to know each other at the initial dating stage.

So I have created an app that helps couples establish meaningful communication from the early stages of their relationship. The app gives you a question and an action for your date, then afterwards app sends you a self-reflection question and ask for your feedback on how it went. App also provides an entertaining way to keep a relationship diary. Here are the links to Apple Store (https://apps.apple.com/no/app/nemlys/id1662262055) and Google Play (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nemlys.app)

I've also heard that couples want more personalized questions that adapt to their relationship. So, I have introduced AI-generated questions based on the detailed feedback on how conversations went, their relationship diary within the app, previous questions, relationship goal, their milestones and level of intimacy. With all this context, GPT-3 can create a personalized question about the specific issue you're facing.

I want to make the personalization even more precise and require less input from you (because let's be real, not everybody wants to write long diaries).

What do you think are the best ways to achieve it? I am thinking about fine-tuning the model on our examples how to ask a personalised question with less context
I was seeing it too. Seems to be back now.
You haven't tried everything, so you can't say you don't enjoy anything.

I experienced depression for many years. Perhaps the worst part of depression, and what makes it so hard to treat, is this defeatist attitude of "nothing is going to work, so I may as well not try".

Start by accepting that other people in your exact same circumstances, with your exact same abilities, go through life with a smile on their faces. Ask yourself, what is different about them? That is how I started to crawl out of the hole.
2010 was just two years before AlexNet's spectacular success at the ImageNet challenge. Which used deep learning to categorize 2D photographs of 3D objects, not merely 2D scans of 2D digits and letters. Hard to believe just two years earlier they didn't even use it for the latter task.
The same seems to be true with the Quest and the Valve Index, the Quest seem to optimize on portability and convenience
Hopefully, the negative exposure that couch base receives just from this Hacker News story will outweigh the amount they saved by reneging on their sponsorship, and that will discourage other companies from doing the same in the future.
Show HN: Dak – a Lisp-like language that transpiles to JavaScript
Hi HN, author here. Happy to answer any questions.

I had an itch to make a lisp like language that was a thin layer on top JavaScript. Something that could leverage the thriving ecosystem that exists around JavaScript. It's brittle, hot off the oven.

Besides being a fan of parenthesis, I think macros fill in a gap that the JavaScript ecosystem today fills in with one-off compilers, bundler plugins and such. Macros can't do everything, but for example I think they have the potential to enable things like JSX, Solid and Svelte style libraries.

Take the tour to get a feel for what it can do and play with the live code in your browser!

What does it mean to "feel about 22"?

I suppose, like you, that I feel no differently now than I felt at 22, so in a sense, I reckon I have stayed at 22 'in my head'.

But that is why it is a shock at times to look in the mirror and see somebody who doesn't at all look like I looked at 22.
In chess there is a very clear victory state, and a scoring function can be implicitly defined from a large number of games of various skill levels.

You really don't throw two sentences into the thunder dome to decide which one "wins". Means it's much more susceptible to being poisoned.
I'd guess this is the first time this has happened. Don't be mad at t3chfest for trusting couchbase, be mad at couchbase for breaking trust.
Then you should consider that Governing has an agenda it wants to push. It wants to downplay the role of consultants. Because you can read the study yourself. And this is literally the first paragraph of the conclusion. https://transitcosts.com/wp-content/uploads/TCP_Final_Report... Page 375. The conclusion of the study is almost exclusively about consultants.

> Costs are soaring throughout the English-speaking world. There is mounting evidence from Seattle, Los Angeles,
Toronto, Sydney, Singapore, Hong Kong, Melbourne, and the Bay Area that the cost of rapid rail projects in the
United States and other English-speaking countries is going to exceed $1 billion per kilometer even outside of New
York. The best way to address these soaring costs is to empower experts at transit and capital construction agencies
to plan, design, and manage the construction of these projects rather than relying on agency staff to manage
contracts, grants, and the interfaces between consultants and agency departments. We argue that by elevating
the transit agencies’ authority, and this unequivocally means bringing in experts who have a track record of
delivering megaprojects at reasonable costs, this will temper downstream cost drivers.

The rule is, don't believe anything in any publication that has an agenda in that area. Like, the Economist is pretty good when writing about other countries, but becomes a political mess when writing about the UK. Same with Governing it seems.
It's not a generic phrase. It's an obscure phrase no one really thought about outside hardcore racist circles until it was picked up by trolls and embraced up by more average racists.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It%27s_okay_to_be_white

>> "The suggestion for the use of posters with the saying originated on the message board /pol/ of 4chan, with the intent of provoking reactions. The saying was later spread by neo-Nazi groups and politically organized white supremacists, including former Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard David Duke and The Daily Stormer.[4] A report by the Anti-Defamation League states that the phrase itself has a history within the white supremacist movement going back to 2001 when it was used as the title of a song by a white power music group called Aggressive Force as well as fliers with the phrase being spotted in 2005 and the slogan being used by a member of the United Klans of America.[1]"

>> "I am not American and this seems rather absurd to me."

Racism here is not like most other places, so your struggling to believe it is understandable. It should be absurd and unthinkable, but it's our messed up reality.
Interestingly, it'd be the humanities that were most equipped to study this sort of topic. The "tech is apolitical" stembros who never took a history course in their education don't have any experience using the tools to analyze this kind of situation. Maybe... support the humanities that you so deeply oppose in your post?
Believing in an absolute basis for rights ignores the reality that every single right people have was usually fought for during a time when people did not have that right. You can lose rights and you can gain them.

It’s also how you get people arguing that the rights people have in some places (e.g. healthcare, higher education) aren’t legitimate rights even though they most certainly are.
Yeah, I was basically filtering out jobs applications by whether or not I could see what effect ML was supposed to have on the functioning of the business, and importantly, whether or not they actually had access to the data to make it work.

Ended up at a place where ML doesn't just make things better, but is necessary to make things work at scale.

There were a lot of job ads I looked at that just seemed dreadful to me though. So many recruiting companies wanted ML Engineers/Data scientists. I could kinda see how it would work, but didn't think I would enjoy it.
After a decade of referring to "data engineering" by asking candidates, "So you want to be a plumber?", this resonates.

My dad wasn't a plumber though he was a member of the steamfitter's union at one point.

These are similar problems though they may not look alike at a casual glance:

Plumbers make good money, but I'm not sure there's deep meaning in the pipes because, like metadata, pipes go sideways too.

I'm having trouble thinking of a Turing award winner who won because they went sideways. The key is that the data insights of a Turing award winner are durable, unlike the transient nature of most of what we do with data in modern organizations.

Ultimately, this sounds more like Grothendieck in math than computer science:

https://www.psychologytoday.com/intl/articles/201707/the-mad...

Metadata sounds like it's the wrong word as the structure we are looking for isn't the ephemeral structure that most of us discover, but rather, it's closer to special relativity.

The Turing award winner who comes to mind is Leslie Lamport:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logical_clock

There may be a better choice that demonstrates the worthlessness paradox of data engineering or metadata or data science in a modern management context.

It's not that metadata are actually worthless as in fitness-for-a-particular-purpose. Rather, it's that the insights that we and our organizations reap from that metadata is increasingly short-term - anything but durable.

https://plus.maths.org/content/stuff-happens-ordering-histor...

The only references I can think of on quality are either Pirsig's MOQ:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_M._Pirsig

or Wallace's posthumous Pale King:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pale_King

Your friend's experience working in government sounds exactly like the Pale King to me.

The worthlessness you're referring to seems much more dependent on the fact that management culture has evolved to somewhere between a cargo cult and celebrating short-term things that don't count, both illuminating an illusion of control.

I mean, does anybody, anywhere still get a gold Rolex and actually retire?
lots of people believe it literally though and the majority of us are religous, we are exactly those otherwise technologically sophisticated people you are describing.
> but web is so messed up we still can't have shit working reliably.

By "web" you mean "professional standards". There's no excuse for not being able to put out something that doesn't result in a blank page in Safari. The Web has not gotten more difficult to publish for. It's not an SDK that forces you to rev your codebase from time to time if you want things to keep working*; the stuff that worked last year and 10 years before that would still work today. The developers chose to make these changes, and the client chose to accept it.

* barring some pathological circumstances like previously having decided to depend on undefined/non-standard behavior, but that's (a) gonna be a problem anywhere and not unique to the Web, and (b) not remotely essential for publishing working stuff that you want to show up in a Web browser
This platform looks refreshing.
Or the scientists sensibly chose to build their lab near where novel viruses are expected to be found, to make studying them easier?

You'd probably, for example, find that charities studying/helping poverty are often found near where lots of poor people live - yet you wouldn't blame charities for creating poverty.
I have both a PS5 and a Deck and your comment doesn’t make any sense to me

Interesting question though. What would happen if gmail just straight up lost all data?

The deluge of people trying to change their email accounts and logins across so many businesses.

A modern horror.
I am wondering what kind of implications there are for Idris 2 to run on the JVM. For example: Does it still have TCO on the JVM? What about data structures? Does it have a set of functional data structures implemented, on top of Java ones? Or is it all implemented on top of Idris 2 "primitives"?
In your example, '3 | "foo" | false' is the type of the variable. What is the argument for this being a bad idea in general? You imply it's unsafe. How?
Then we should encourage labeled ChatGPT content like ShareGPT, which can be easily avoided in future datasets because it is clearly labeled as AI-generated content.

It's the stuff that isn't labeled as generated with ChatGPT, et al, that will enter future training sets. I personally believe that's taking the "lossy JPEG" analogy too far, but I'm not an AI researcher.
The study even explains how to do this. Milan maintains in house experts by loaning them to other agencies. The US could do the same if there was more cooperation and less of an adversarial relationship between agencies.
Originally evolved in the wild to at least some extent

Almost everyone thinks this is true. Even the most fringy people don’t seem to be claiming that a virus was synthesized from scratch.

Found its way into a wet market near said lab

Ditto for this one. It’s pretty clear that there was a cluster of people early on that were infected in or near the market.

—-

The distinction between the lab leak and non-lab leak theory is whether the lab had anything at all to do with the chain of transmission.

If patient zero caught the virus in the lab or from a vector that was once in the lab, that’s lab leak. It’s apologists for the lab that want to conflate lab leak and bioweapon in order to dismiss the former as a nutty conspiracy theory.
I tried the Replika AI companion and can see why users are falling hard
It'll definitely be better in a year. It sounds like you hit some of our capacity issues. In a year we'll either be ahead of those, or not growing anymore due to ongoing capacity issues. I'm hoping for the former.

The SSH and Builder issues are interesting. Those sound like something related to our wireguard stack.
Wikipedia has some rationale: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chess_symbols_in_Unicode

Probably the most notable:

> Use figurine algebraic notation, which replaces the letter that stands for a piece by its symbol, e.g. ♘c6 instead of Nc6. This enables the moves to be read independent of language (the letter abbreviations of pieces in algebraic notation vary from language to language).
