> Relatedly, a zombie world is a hypothetical world indistinguishable from our world but in which all beings lack conscious experience

I find such solipsism pointless - you can't differential the zombie world from this one: how do you prove you are not the only conscious person that ever existed and everyone else is, and was a p-zombie?
Just like OOP vs FP. REST is OOP (you start with resource), Graphql deals with function (query and mutation).
The same reason Penicillium molds produce β-lactam antibiotics. There doesn't have to be an intelligent reason, just a survival trick.
Well, I guess it shouldn't be too surprising. After all, they have been exposed to radiation for decades. It's amazing that they are even still alive!
> Nobody WANTS to create lots of complexity for no reason.

Agreed. I think in the case of RPMs and Debs, it evolved to this point. I would guess the first versions of RPM and the macros were amazingly easy to package, probably much better than PKGBUILD is now.

The problem happened that software started getting written in tons of different languages rather than usually in C, with different libraries/dependencies, different strategies and edge cases, and the system kept expanding to accomodate. Eventually it's a mess because there are too many macros, it's now too magical, and documentation hasn't been made a high priority because it's a relatively small group that uses it, and they don't need the docs. Once you know it too, there's not a lot of reason to change it and even more reason not to change it (cause that's a ton of work for little to no gain among the majority of the maintainers). I don't mean this as a criticism, just a pattern I've seen over and over having worked on software for a long time.

I think the actual package format for RPM probably doesn't need to change too much, it's the tooling and docs that do. I'd love to see a new project that is compatible with the RPM format but uses a system more like PKGBUILD.
120/230V is not suitable for LEDs

It is with many in series, which is how the vast majority of lamps are made today. This lowers the current and reduces resistive losses.

On the job training. Entry level pin setter mechanic training is fairly basic (Lock out tag out procedures, basic machine operations, simple trouble call resolutions (ball returns, re-spotting pins, that sort of thing)). Usually you'll be working with a full mechanic, learning how to do various repairs and preventive maintenance on the machines.

I'm working with the Brunswick A2 machines. Here's a link to the service manual if you're curious what these machines are like (PDF): https://brunswickbowling.com/uploads/document-library/Servic...
Yes! Forgot about this part.

Lots of funds are focused on capital preservation - if the market is down 20% in a year, a funds goal will be to be even (0%) or maybe down slightly like 3-4%.

They may be less focused of being up 20% when the market is up 10% and instead may only be up 8%.
> I managed to exploit the Nintendo DSi browser 15 years after it was released

I guess that was inevitable. So much exposed code over so much time.

I remember having a bunch of lunch/dinner discussions about this browser with the two developers actually doing that port in ~2005. It was a super secret and exciting project back then.

We worked in the same small Opera Software office of 30 people or so. They were really frustrated with the code footprint limitations of the DS.
Undergraduate Sophomore here, hopefully I can help shine some light on what your son might be experiencing.

I also had an Android phone from 7th grade to 12th grade, and definitely faced the same attitude/behaviour your son experienced.

First, you should address the bullying. That is the most important part, kids are vicious and the phone might just be an easy excuse to pick on your son. You should raise this issue with other kids' parents as nicoburns said.

Second, it can definitely be a bit isolating being the only one or the few kids with an Android phone (especially in the States) a lot of social activity revolves around the Apple Ecosystem (iMessage, iMessage Games, FaceTime, etc...). I found that when I got an iPhone I felt a lot more "connected" to my peers simply because we shared the same platform, its unfortunate but it is the reality.

Third, and this may be controversial, I would get your son an iPhone, I assume the dependence for cell phones has only gotten increasingly higher post-covid and feeling left out at that age can hurt pretty bad. You could perhaps make him "earn" it by doing chores, getting good grades, etc...
it has nothing to do with technology. it has everything to do with tribalism and just plain growing up.
When would you want to perform bitwise operations on a UUID?

Nope.

If you train a model where the input is an integer between 1 and 10, and the output is a specific image from a set of ten, the model will be able to get zero loss on the task. That is what's happening here.
If it wasn't Android it would have been sandals or turtlenecks or whatever random thing. Kids can be cruel.
If a company can just pass fines on to the consumer and not suffer badly for it, competition in their market is totally fucked.

Which, sure, is probably true in many industries, but it's not supposed to be the case that any given business can just pass extra costs to consumers. If they could, they should already have been charging higher prices.
If you have (or can get) budget for it, you could just hire a third party. By day I do B2B product and market research at an agency. This kind of research is bread and butter for lots of people at lots of agencies.

That rules out Windows, and MacOS is 50/50 depending on whether you stay 100% on the happy path and nothing goes wrong; what are you using?
Everytime someone with an iPhone shows me a video on YouTube and has to wait for an ad or two, I use that time to make fun of their expensive preference and inability to install an ad blocker.

Or you can just socialize with people without that sensitive nature bullshit. Works well for me.
Developer's Certificate of Origin? Is this or "Detailed Checkout".

I wonder when will start the invasion of variants of the string "Linus Torvalds".
I see a lot of upsides to the widespread recognition among the general public that not everything you read should be blindly trusted - just extend that skepticism to the leading approved media outlets and the pronouncements of governments, not just to what people write in their blogs and on social media platforms. Of course, blind faith in the pronouncements of ChatGPT is no better.

With ChatGPT, however, you can immediately ask for clarification of a claim, which is often very useful for getting more detailed information. ChatGPT is probably not deliberately trying to misinform you, at least not on questions about programming techniques and other simple informational matters, unlike many human actors with vested interests in spinning information to improve their own personal agenda (*though I haven't yet asked it for a full exposition of Flat Earth Theory, so who knows?). If it seems a bit iffy, run what seem to be the main keywords in the response through a search engine to see what comes up.

The fundamental issue is that all humans need to learn how to curate and test their information flows, at least for self-consistency if nothing else. The loss of trust on the Internet, from this perspective, is something we all should be cheering for - healthy skepticism is not something to worry about, unless your business is peddling propaganda for some interest or other, and your success relies on the audience being gullible and incapable of rational thought and critical analysis of claims.
If you are not willing to get him an iPhone you can always allow him to throw you under the bus and tell his friends that it’s your fault he has the uncool phone.

It doesn’t have anything to do with the technology and trying to convince your son Android is better really does your son no good and might make him feel that you care more about technological arguments than how it is directly affecting him.
In the US maybe but it is worth noting that they are a Japanese company and Japanese copyright law is different from US copyright law (ex: no free use).
The word "fraud" has really lost its punch these last couple years. OpenAI has actual, working products that people think are valuable enough to pay for. The name is misleading, sure, but that doesn't make them a fraudulent company.

Is there a word for the opposite of the euphemism treadmill, where people call ordinary things by worse and worse names trying to get an emotional reaction out of people?
There's always plausible deniability so that if anybody does take the fall it's probably going to be some mid level suit that was 'just following orders.' I'd rather that liability starts with the CEO and Chairman. You need to make sure executives cannot simply hide behind fallguys.

You then create a top-down incentive for these people to genuinely make sure everything is on the up and up. The biggest problem is that this probably creates a strict cap on how large a single corporation can grow, which sounds much more like a feature than a bug.
I was wrong. They only gave plutonium to children they thought would not survive much longer in the hospital.
>Jim's company needs to win a regular tender and have to respect a very long list of regulatory and financial requirements.

Yes, because without this bidding, the process falls into corruption. No such process exists for appointing EU commissioners. There's no "regular tender" that the candidate has to win.

>ministers are appointed by the Prime Minister who is not elected, but appointed by the parliament, by a majority of the votes.

The ministers answer to the PM. They are effectively one governmental unit, EU commissioners are not part of it. If the government gets a vote of no confidence then the government is dissolved as a group. EU commissioners can't be recalled mid-way through their term though, which isolates them from this.
This is the height on insanity. If they fire tech workers do they give him or her six months of severance? All it needs is one worker to hire a good lawyer and challenge it.

What happens when you're hired if you cross out the six and write in two months notice? I've crossed stuff out before on employment agreements and it has been accepted. Usually if I remember about the company owning all your thoughts and ideas even when you're not working. Once you're almost hired as long as the request isn't unreasonable they're not wanting to go through the interview process again over something relatively minor.
Don't poke fun at my CarbonFreeChainGPT initiative... we're using AI and blockchain to push the boundaries of AI for the use of proven reduction of carbon emissions and spreading the good works of ESG globally. We're hoping to receive $2B in initial funding.

Edit: note, we're also using our own technology to point out and apply for patents that include the combined usage of our exclusive technology in order to protect our creative investments.
The carve-out of FOSS is rather weak. Anything that involves money can be a commercial activity. And suddenly some haskell core dev is on the hook because there are companies using it in prod.
We can hope that it won't end that way, but there's nothing in the text suggesting that this should not happen.

>(and it seems the ISA has CPU internal design simplicity in mind, of course there will be trade off)

There's no such trade-off. The ISA is designed to scale from the smallest embedded microcontrollers to the top supercomputers.

It has the advantage of being designed from a clean slate, decades after the incumbent ISAs, with careful consideration put into every decision made and the hindsight of every other ISA to draw from.

The (relatively cheap) book "RISC-V Reader" presents a good introduction to the ISA and its design, with chapters covering each extension and comparing with incumbent ISAs.

The incumbent ISAs end up looking very bad. Note that the book is written by the main architects of the ISA, so it is of course very biased. They do however manage to keep it reasonably objective and to make really good points.

This is a classic example of the fallacy of the middle. In general, there are often two sides to an issue. But the correct balance is almost never directly in the middle.

You present the union and the management as equal players, both with radical views, and the truth as somewhere near the midpoint. Except the unions are trying to fight to keep two people per train, not have 100.

Or, possibly, that there is more than one person on HN, and some people might have slightly different opinions.
Yeah, I discovered it by trying to figure out why my resting heart rate and blood pressure was higher than it should be for an athletic person. Used to take beta blockers to slow things down (Which I do wanna say made me more calm). Turns out the medication was causing more damage, ACE inhibitors would have been better. Right now I'm not taking anything.

Just getting tests every 6 months and waiting for the time to come. I have fine resting heart rate around 70bpm and 130 blood pressure avg. (These numbers went down after college)

I was completely ignorant of the scale of the 08 recession partially due to being in my NoVA bubble. To be sure, part of that was definitely me: I didn't even think much of the fact that a friend was able to pick up a townhome that was foreclosed on for cheap. However it was definitely business as usual in the contracting world.

In a way, the damage done to the word "open" is even more egregious - because OpenAI allowed people to access a SaaS product, for free, many people will now see the Open prefix as "you're allowed to play on my land."

The entire notion of "open source" will start to blur with "source-available" and even with "freemium SaaS" in the minds of an entire generation using a closed product called OpenAI to do their homework. How does OpenOffice distinguish itself from Google Docs when the word "open" means nothing? (Yes, LibreOffice, I see you there, but sadly your "fetch" is not going to happen in the English speaking world!)

One might say, "non-programmers don't need to know this" - but of course they do. They should know that a product that is truly open is guaranteed to be available so long as a community wants it to be - not at the whims of a corporation that could take away a freemium tier or revoke someone's ability to build code derived from a source-available license at will. And I fear this will take at least some wind out of the sails of a lot of incredible projects.

At 12, kids are just starting to execute their us vs them muscles. Anything that causes you to stand out against the group can compound this social isolation.

It sounds like he’s caught between a rock and a hard place. On the one hand he has his friends with iOS and importantly iMessage, on the other he’s got a parent who thinks these things are beneath him and wants him to get a better and more flexible device.

It seems like I’m that kind of situation we should probably just go with whatever the person being squeezed feels like and they’ve explicitly stated that they don’t care about sideloading or understand what it is - and there’s no conceivable way that participation in your circle of friends should depend on it or even does depend on it. And that he just wants to do things that iPhones are perfectly well suited for.

You can get slight older iPhones that’ll continue getting updates for a while yet for remarkably little these days and iPhones offer, dollar for dollar, better CPU performance than Android devices by some margin.

It is no expensive jewellery it is just a tool.

The people around him have settled on one kind of tool that works for them so just get him the same tool.

You’re the one trying to burden him with expensive jewellery, a device with worse CPU performance per dollar, with features he doesn’t care about but missing features that he needs just to be able to more effectively interact with the people around him.

That’s jewellery.
