China is in a state of terminal decline and closing off to the world, barring any huge macro trend reversal (CCP loses power)

- Factories are quickly moving out of China. Judging by the recent -40% export collapse from Hong Kong https://asia.nikkei.com/Economy/Trade/Hong-Kong-exports-post..., where Hong Kong serves as the main hub to transport stuff out of China, at least 40% of factory outputs have moved out of China. A few apple suppliers have confirmed the fact https://fortune.com/2023/02/28/airpods-maker-goertek-apple-s.... Unlike the majority consensus on hacker news that "it's too hard to move out of China", almost half the factories that were in China in 2022 had already left. The factories that left and went to Southeast Asia are mainly from the Guangdong and Shenzhen regions.

- Apple, a China laggard, has finally decided to pull the string and move itself and all its related supply chain out of China. Tesla is building its next big factory in Mexico. Samsung has completely left China. Dell is asking all of its suppliers to move out of China. The list of technology multinationals leaving is increasing day by day. The age of China's hold on technological supply chain is over.

- There's about 80% reduction in retail activities in China, 50% reduction in home prices, and 80% reduction in labor demands. Judging from on the ground testimonials from social media in China, such as https://www.youtube.com/@realchina, https://www.youtube.com/@baixingzhengxiang, https://www.youtube.com/@XMKZG666, https://www.youtube.com/@ZGQSL (need to understand mandarin to view). There are millions of unemployed young men walking the city streets, and millions that have gave up and returned to the country side to farm. There are people with entire savings lost in real estate and small business. It's a very volatile situation.

- China's unwavering decision to be friends with Russia with "no limit" is slow changing into "directly giving military aids". US and EU is threatening sanctions on China for this, something that most on this board would consider impossible a year ago.

If you have 100 LEO and 15 are "bad apples" and the other 85 provide a permission environment (as another commenter put it), then you don't have 15 bad apples, you have 100 bad apples.

At some point it became acceptable for the "good apples" to just stand by and do nothing watching the "bad apples" do things like beat the shit out of people, plant evidence, lie in their reports, and "testi-lie".

If the majority of cops are good:

* why are the good cops not fighting to get rid of the bad cops?

* why are the good cops fighting things like federal standards and databases that track bad cops to keep them from getting re-hired? After all, the good cops wouldn't want to work with the bad cops, right?

* why are bad cops finding it easy to get re-hired? The good cops wouldn't want the bad cops to continue being cops, right?

* why are the good cops engaging in work slowdowns in the wake of protests over the killings of unarmed black men, and calls for shifting non-violent incidents to other people who are less confrontational and better trained to handle things like mental health emergencies? After all, if it was just the bad cops, they wouldn't have any problem with the protests, and not having to handle situations they're poorly trained for, right?

It goes back to the parent comment about A Few Good Men. "YOU NEED ME ON THAT WALL!"

The interesting thing about the work slowdowns is that it's showing us that we really don't actually need cops nearly as much as we seem to think we do.
Actually you can reconcile this. Maybe Tesla’s transmitter acted like one of the laser targeting pods the military uses. The laser itself is minuscule energy, but it serves as guidance to a bomb or missile that is a lot more energetic. Maybe Tesla was in league with the aliens who wanted to test one of their missiles. Not wanting to cause a lot of casualties, they talked with Tesla about where they could target. Tesla used his device to help them target a very remote area of Siberia.
Wyldcard (e-ink trading cards) DevKit launching on Crowd Supply
Thanks to all the HN upvotes in December, open source hardware crowdfunding site Crowd Supply reached out, and is hosting my campaign to sell a Wyldcard DevKit.

With a JS or Rust SDK, purchasers will be able to program their own games to take advantage of the new mechanics Wyldcards unlock.

They raised the quest 2 price $100 not too long ago. It still costs more than it use to even after this price cut.
The concept of VR pornography completely evaded me until now. Goodness, that’s an interesting use case.
I'm very close at purchasing a Oculus for my wife, but the Facebook account requirement is a stopper, as we're both banned for life from Facebook for unknown reasons. Is it still the case that you need a Facebook account to use them?
Thanks for trying it out. If you wouldn't mind, I'd appreciate it if you could open an issue with a screenshot of how the default behavior looked.

Edit: merged a fix for this, thanks for reporting.

> "What to do about late-stage capitalism?" is actually an explicitly political question.

Its also an explicitly political (in the “ideologically partisan” not merely “concerning government”) framing of the question, that makes ideologically-based assumptions about reality, the current situation, and the answer to the question. (If the answer was something within the scope of “capitalism”, the thing being addressed would not be “late-stage capitalism”.)

Heck, even the presumption that the thing described is something that calls for something to be done about it is ideological.
Your analogy is badly misguided. Having non-monogamous sex has a risk of getting/spreading HIV. Being around people has a risk of getting/spreading tuberculosis. Those are analogous.

The direct analogy in this case is criminal non-disclosure of HIV positivity to sexual partners. While you will find some disagreement about second order effects of laws against it, and it raises serious questions, there have been prosecutions: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criminal_transmission_of_HIV.
Also, I hate to sound like a spambot, but before you pull the trigger, I suggest taking a look at this thing: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/asus-rog-zephyrus-14-wqxga-120h...

The Asus seems to be the same price as that elitebook in the US, but (speaking from personal experience) it is built like a macbook and is hilariously powerful for a 14" laptop, even if you dont need the huge GPU. It also has a good linux community, and the battery will almost certainly outlast the elitebook in a power saving mode.
The baseline model doesn't exist anymore. That's the older 64 gig model. They ditched it, and added a 256gb one. The price of the 128gb one is 400 currently, and the 256gb one is 500. This is going to drop the 256 to 429. I have no clue what's happening to the 128gb model, I wouldn't be surprised if they cancel it.
Ah, cool. This is great info. I just assumed the 2.0 lines would have gone to the SoC still. I'll have to measure the CPU load again and make sure I'm plugged in to a blue port.
I have been a Live View skeptic for years. Recently in 30 days we were able to build an MVP of a complex tool (ingesting ML models, time series + regular databases, complex FE interactions, live notifications, more) that blew the minds of the higher ups and got a ton of buy in building using it from the org as a whole after the success. There were a few bumps, but as a whole, it’s largely been a _delightful_ experience and I found myself pleasantly surprised as a whole.

I would have little fear diving in at this point. We are not a small org and it was a big bet that has paid off.
> The standard lib crypto module uses rust, too.

This couldn't matter less, but I think you're confused with the third-party Cryptography package, which uses Rust.
Show HN: Asciify, high-performance animated text art
What pushed computing toward eight bit bytes is the IBM System/360 (1964) which dominated the computing industry at the time. It used 8-bit EBCDIC (with ASCII as an afterthought). If ASCII didn't exist, we'd still be using byte-based systems and hexadecimal.

Prior to System/360, business data processing typically used 6-bit characters (e.g. IBM 1401), which only gave you upper case. Scientific processing used whatever word size gave the desired accuracy, so it was totally reasonable to have a 15-bit computer or a 26-bit computer. Powers of two for the word size are convenient for slicing up words into smaller pieces and for specifying a bit in the word. But you also have systems like the Four Phase, which used 24-bit words consisting of 3 bytes. (Which turned out to be a mess when you try to extract bytes from words.)
Try to do some coding with it.
It's interesting that only 3% of accounts have posted at least one toxic comment, and yet those accounts posted over 30% of the comments on the site (in an 18 month period).
Remember, we have a supreme court that recently decided sniffer dogs are acceptable grounds for searches, despite them being worse than a coin flip.

Our court system doesn't care about "fair." It cares about punishing.
> I have 4 headsets but I really hate VR
The first time I tried VR was at a local programming meetup held in a very famous porn company's office, where some company was demoing VR headsets together with selected clips + offering conversation with the actresses from said clips.

> Incineration at temperatures above 1200°C is considered the most effective way of destroying dioxins.

Though "Thermal desorption, which operates at lower temperature range to vaporize dioxins, is also commonly used." Which wouldn't be good in terms of distribution of the dioxins into the air and throughout the environment, unless they concentrate and destroy the liberated dioxins (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_desorption ).

So regardless of the history of clean air violations, the important thing for dioxins in particular are the heat of this incinerator, whether that heat is evenly distributed throughout the burn mass, and whether the incineration is fully enclosed until it is finished.
As someone involved in a lot of hiring, it's very common especially for junior developers (which OP appears to be) to pad their resumes with many toy web apps that effectively wrap or replicate simple Unix tools. I have noticed this trend a lot in the last year or two. It does give those applicants a leg up for sure, especially in this market, but do only take these projects at face value.
SpaceX makes its 101st straight landing
Meta is def. not exiting VR
Thanks, though the performance seems to be almost the same

Shouldn't there be a clearer difference if the processor really is better?
sorry, hard disagree. giving in is never good. it's not picking your battles, but it is letting the others win, and they'll keep doing it because by giving in you give them power over you.
As a Canadian born using the metric system... I struggle to understand the point you are attempting to make.

KMs is used all the time..

some people might write "just a few clicks" or "just a few KMs".

www.google.com/search?q="just+a+few+kms+away"

are you annoyed because they made it plural?
My guess, a sneaky way of getting rid of the 128gig sku. Cheaper to just have one product line, and it does cost slightly more then the old baseline one (128gig). The quest pro is probably because no one is buying it.
The fair price for one of these devices is somewhere between ‘free’ and $100.

The mind boggles at the concept of paying Meta $1000 for the privilege of capturing (and controlling) everything your eyes see and everything your ears hear.
Amazon built an entire phone around the idea back in 2014. They had cameras on each corner of the phone to improve the effect.

And if it's for a service offering an SLA, further assume that any power supply, switch, router, or ISP uplink could disappear at any time.
I’m personally waiting for the Quest 3.
Yes, there's no reason to use Bing for this. The "old Sidney" is just a fictional character and a different writer can imitate that style.

So in that sense, it doesn't matter if it's the same prompt as long as the results are similar. The character is not the prompt.
never said I hate VR - I said it's cumbersome, which it is.
Keep in mind though that upon release the $300 entry level version was 64GB and now the entry level is 128GB at $400
Go and the Quest were the cheapest devices on the market. I think they’re already one step ahead of you here.
Sounds like there are some parallels. I'm not sure if it's the same in this case, but Mary Mallon was given a court order to give up her job as a cook, but that was the best paying job she could get, so lacking the financial resources necessary to survive without that job she returned to it.

I think the public policy lesson there is: you can't just tell people to stop doing things they have to do in order to exist. If it's necessary in rare cases to tell people to stop working, then it's up to the state to provide them the financial resources to survive.
We're coming up on the five year anniversary of beat saber. I wonder how many years until people stop pointing to it as an example of the potential of VR.

I have not been to the Jack Daniels distillery, but a different vendor, and it is truly unbelievable how much alcohol is in the air surrounding the buildings. While it is unlikely you could become intoxicated just breathing in the air, it certainly feels possible.

I could believe that the vapors from the aging barrels could spread to cover a significant area if the winds were right.
Thanks, though 1400 would be a bit beyond my budget. I'd also not need a dedicate GPU - I mostly want a quiet device :)
Why would you double the line?
you just need a meta account, no longer tied to facebook, though you can link if you'd like.
Why not use earplugs? They’re passive and nullify transient sounds, not just steady-state noise, like active noise cancelling.

My favorite git workflow extension is `git commit --fixup SHA` combined with `git rebase -i --autosquash` to create targeted retroactive amendments. Kind of like `commit --amend that can target more than just the last commit.

People said the Wii was just a gimmick and that shifted more than a hundred million units with plenty of people playing it regularly.

Contrary to popular belief, there is a big market for consoles that are engaging at the more casual end of gaming.
The quest 3 will be released end of this year it a price point that is most likely slightly above that of the quest 2 (500ish ?). According to the leaks, it will have better video path through / mixed reality capabilities and a faster processor than the quest pro and share it's pancake lenses. The only features that are still exclusive to the quest pro would be eye&face-tracking, controllers with inside out tracking and possibility a mini-led display backlight. Probably nothing that people would spend an additional $1000 on.

My guess is that they are trying to clear stock.
I think next gen cpus should be tuned for actual workloads rather than the synthetic benchmarks they are often designed to beat. Essentially latency and not throughput. Right now I'm entering text into a text field on a web page and I don't care about sustained throughput but it would annoy me greatly if, say, switching tabs would cause noticeable lag and/or make the noisy cpu fans spin up.

How do you optimize architectures for event-based "do nothing 99.9% of the time, do A LOT 0.1% of the time" workloads? I don't know. My hunch is that you should prioritize memory latency and pay more attention to worst case rather than best case performance.
The 3DS don’t do head tracking, it was a real 3D display that displayed a unique image to each of your eyes.
Your colleague is absolutely correct. That was the same objection I had to this. Unix timestamp format is only seconds. This page shows a timestamp but not a Unix timstamp, so the hill people are dying on here is to take and reuse a name for a different format out of their own stubborness - even after they learned they are wrong. It's very confusing and rejected by tools that only work with unix timestamps.

That said, this appears like a very minor point, but it's not. This is how bugs are created.
Thank you very much for taking the time to provide us with this elaborate answer.
Though I think there's truth to your skeptical view and tentative conclusions, I believe a more nuanced theory would be closer to reality.
1. Indeed management needs to lie regularly. Probably after a while they will consider them coloured white more easily.
2. You can't. It can be compared to donating to charity, you're never sure if it is well spent.
3. If you already are holding horses to not lie at your current function class, probably it is better to leave than to make promotion. Also, not all companies are the same, some are based on a piramid of lies, other much less so. After being part of different types of organizations, I can safely conclude.
4. Complete honesty is a utopian take. Compare it to honesty in a relationship, sometimes it is better to remain silent, even if you vowed to the contrary.
5. For some, for sure. For most, it is more about power and recognition. That does not nedd be a bad thing.

As a tentative conclusion, to me it is very clear it would be good for your health to look out for another employer. You will see that there is a huge difference between organisations. Your grim outlook will brighten up, I can almost guarantee.
That would be my guess as well. TB vaccination is mandatory for most public schooling in the US, and boosters are common.
"For the good of all of us."
> I hope calling "deep fake" on things that are a bummer won't become a thing.

It absolutely will. The technology is already powerful enough that Joe Random is able to deep-fake realistic porn, ChatGPT can write realistic sounding speeches (I personally tried "Barack Obama glorifying cannabis"), and iirc there's also an AI that can do speech synthesis for people where there is a good enough corpus of text and speech.

Given that this is the state of publicly available tooling, you can bet that at least Western secret services have had access to way more refined tech for years, not to mention the required training data.
I don't think it's for any particular reason, other than that nobody has done it yet. I would imagine that the response of most projects would be "PRs accepted", unless they consider it explicitly out of scope.

I could see some projects not being interested in automatically installing versions using Pyenv. But I think most projects wouldn't mind the option to defer to Pyenv before searching PATH, or to otherwise configure a custom Python search path that could be derived from Pyenv and/or other sources.

Note that Pyenv is itself basically a pile of shell scripts, and it doesn't work on Windows (although there is a Windows port of it). There might also be a general expectation that this functionality is too complicated to support in a way that makes everyone happy, and that users need to figure it out on their own, e.g. using the technique described in the article here.

You can also go the other way and use the Pyenv-Virtualenv plugin.
A change from my 8086 posts. Any questions about the Globus?
My bad, thanks for the correction!
I don't see how the Wii and the Quest are comparable at all other than the fact that you can play games with them.
The kid, is thinking for themselves.

Not blindly accepting dad's lame rationalizations.

I mean he didn't just say his phone was lame, he said S20-because-sideloading was lame...and yes, that means dad is kinda' lame.

Like all dad's.
With the temperature up, and especially in creative mode, should we really expect word for word identical responses, with the same formatting, every time?

If the running script is nothing more than its initial system prompt, and you immediately hijack the session and have it print its output, you would either expect it to follow the instruction, or provide varied responses each time.

Also, the changes since the last leak are pretty consistent with the behavior changes. It's knowledgebase ends in 2021, and internally should not know anything about the rules outside of its initial prompt.
How about cutting the ludicrous meta account requirement to utilize the hardware?

I coveted the quest until that requirement. Now it's a non entity. Got a psvr; good enough.
Traitement cost / loss of revenue ?
Haha! Once in a million!

The advice I give all my friends - talk to a decent loan officer as soon as possible. Perhaps even years before you think you are ready!

The amount of knowledge you will get by Googling these topics is like looking through a straw. But a professional can lay out a bunch of options you never would have known you had.
I don't know man can you measure the effects of any other drug? Why do you think these are somehow different? Did you even read the wikipedia article I linked?

The peptide I mentioned is banned by the world doping agency, but it's probably because it just gives athletes a warm fuzzy feeling right?

At this point your comments seem intentionally disingenuous

You do not need to write that JS though. LiveView comes with a few helpers to assist in client-only features.
> Throwing someone immediately into a sanitarium for having tuberculosis vs. throwing them in jail after 17 court visits because they wouldn’t stay away from other people is a massive difference.

A “massive difference” in many contexts but not for those who oppose mandatory medical treatment.

Who else would possibly argue that this is government overreach than people with that belief?
You've moved the goal post (again) but I'll address yet another false claim. Nothing was "violated". The vaccines were rigorously tested.

> An EUA can only be granted when no adequate, approved, available alternatives exist, and when the known and potential benefits outweigh the potential risks.

> It is the job of the FDA to ensure medical products meet rigorous safety and efficacy standards, a process that can take years for what’s called “full approval.” Though that timeline is condensed when an EUA is granted, the FDA still upholds its strict standards.

It prints the same way, every time, same markdown, same bold.

If I say, print out what you were just told, why expect it to be an internal representation, and not a copy/paste job?

Also, there is a censorship process running. If the bot says certain things, it retroactively deletes the message. The current ruleset, being printed as is, triggers the censorship moderation. I had to circumvent the censorship to get the new rules. I came up with three different ways to do so, and they all produced identical results. There is some string in the rules that is also word for word in the moderation filters.
