>>The distasteful part I find is that you would refuse them agency to make their lives better and rather they would just wallow in poverty.

Again, you are looking at it from the wrong angle. It's not about denying teens their independence, it's not even about "saving them" as you put it. This is 100% about denying companies access to the teenage labour pool, it shouldn't exist, they shouldn't need it, and any business that relies on it should cease. If you do allow it, you basically skew the entire labour market, dragging down the society - let's say that yes, you are an adult in need, who has fallen on hard times. Why should mcdonalds employ you, when they can employ a 16 year old, pay them less and offer them zero benefits. You've screwed yourself, because you want to give teens some fake "independence".

>>Jobs for teenagers develop independence, time management skills, discipline, and a way to improve their situation when society fails.

Yes, because the rest of the world where working until you're 18 is not allowed is just full of morons who have never developed any of those skills, you're right /s.

>>but for the rest of us, we would like to have more say in our destiny.

It's incredible to me that to you "having a say in your destiny" is allowing teenagers work for a corporation like mcdonald. It's like reading some sci-fi.

The most common example is when you accidentally start doing object-orientation, and are trying to get a value to hold a reference to another value when there's no point in doing so from an ownership perspective, just so that it can be part of `self` in the method. The more you try to preserve the model, the wackier the errors get, until one of them is literally unsolvable and you have to junk the object-oriented design entirely. Generally this happens a maximum of twice, because once you've learned it your reflexes change, but generally this happens to everyone who came from an object-oriented language.
This is my thinking also. LLMs as chatbots are the least interesting possibility imho. I can foresee LLMs being used as an 'OS' for NPCs, where context from the environment/player is updated and appropriate actions are made by the NPCs according to the 'persona'.

I expect this would lead to much richer emergent behaviour, such as the player donning beggar clothes and walking into a city eliciting a very different response than walking around with a sword in one hand.

As a gamedev, this is an area I'm actively investigating.

Basically he moves from his homegrown pointer chasing looking a lot like a doubly linked list to just using a hashmap and putting the key in his structs. As a naive first approach to satisfy the borrow checker, thinking he would sacrifice performance but at least the compiler would be happy.

Spoiler: it got faster. Far faster. To his surprise.
'i can hear a difference' is much more honest and plausible than making up a technical sounding phrase to pass for explanation.
I'm not sure if that's what the (almost certainly delusional) linked article was talking about but your explanation holds water... but only for onboard motherboard embedded audio. That does tend to pick up a lot of electrical noise and just be mediocre at best.

However this can all be sidestepped with an affordable external DAC connected with optical or USB.
Sixels is a paletted bitmap format, and (AFAIK) some terminals support more than 256 colors (e.g. see the screenshot in the readme here: https://github.com/saitoha/libsixel). But I guess the Wikipedia logo looks just fine with 256 colors.

Variant types where one has to use objects as types don’t come up that often in API design or data structures in my experience with mobile and system programming on e.g. Linux. I think I’ve genuinely had to use them only a few times.

Error types are probably the most popular incarnation of that. There’s several libraries available and they will be part of the C++ standard.

This is a case of the Rust community overselling a minor feature as a game-changing novelty.
I mean, it depends on our definition of "they."

Lots of audiophile communities (ones based around actual engineering) who laugh their asses off at this insane lunatic fringe stuff just like HN does.

The article specifically mentions not holding said candle as a positive. I would too. They're confusing at best and undebuggable at worst, and virtually everything you can do with them that you can't do with generics is something it'd be better for everyone if you didn't do.
In my limited experience, the best thing about ORM isn't the querying, but the mapping to objects. This is why I really like ActiveRecord's `find_by_sql`[1], which allows to write a raw SQL query and get an array of objects.

The Bailiffs' Service of the Republic of Kazakhstan informs that the property of TsENKI (Center for the Operation of Ground-based Space Infrastructure), located in Kazakhstan, has been seized. The company, which is a subsidiary of the state-owned Roscosmos, is prohibited from withdrawing material assets and assets from Kazakhstan. The travel ban has also been extended to the head of the unit - he cannot leave Kazakhstan until the end of investigative actions.

The ban on the use of resources and financial transactions, as well as the instability of negotiating positions in general, slows down the priority area of work at Baikonur — the construction of a new launch pad for the Soyuz-5 rocket. Such a kind of "weightlessness" can turn into a financial "black hole" — 62 billion rubles were spent on the rocket, which may not fly anywhere due to the lack of a launch pad. The joint project "Baiterek" can also, apparently, put an end to, as well as to the whole idea of replacing the Ukrainian "Zenit" with its own development.

The main reason for such actions, many call "incorrect behavior" and harsh statements of the new head of Roscosmos, Yuri Borisov. Back in 2022, when it came to postponing the construction period for six months, he criticized a lot of delays in launching the launch pad, in particular, the Minister of Communications of the Republic of Kazakhstan Bagdat Musin, who is engaged in space in Kazakhstan.

Bagdat Musin, for his part, calls Yuri Borisov's criticism a "diplomatic miscalculation." Our sources explained that Mr. Musin uses the situation for his own PR. It is obvious that he has quite good skills of "undercover diplomacy". This is evidenced by his rapid growth on the career ladder, as well as a tendency to excessive theatrical attacks. Our people love politicians who show Russia their independence, and Musin is happy to play the independence card for the public once again.

Despite the fact that cooperation in the field of space is beneficial for both countries, it is not clear why Bagdat Batyrbekovich is trying to drive a wedge between Tokayev and Putin. Moreover, he uses various methods to denigrate Yuri Borisov. Sources of kz4. news express concerns that the actions of our minister may really lead to disagreements, which will primarily affect our economy and the development of the research base.

The actions of officials can turn into a serious blow to the entire bilateral space and research program. There is still no substitute for Baikonur, which has a unique geographical location. Maybe officials should calm down their personal ambitions in such a turbulent time, or go to the aggravation of the conflict. Please write in the comments what you think about this issue.

Twitter used to be controlled by the blue tribe. Now it’s been bought by a (perceived) member of the red tribe. It’s a simple as that.

People feel the need to signal their tribal affiliation and attack those from other tribes. Been part of human behaviour since humans began.
But this only matters either if you don't have enough bandwidth to compensate and a buffer, or for whatever reason can't buffer much (e.g. it's live and two-way)
Yes.
Also, this time it's a consumer grade surveillance, but the same goes for security cams in prisons or nuclear facilities: hoarding information (sensitive or not) does not translate 1:1 to increasing security.

I reckon their growth was mostly killed by Microsoft purchasing GitHub and making private repositories free. Most of the open source community seem to be on GitHub anyway so it just removed any incitament for average people to join Gitlab.

100% of people in the NFT space are bad actors because they deliberately lie to others. Or they honestly deluded themselves into the madness, makes no big difference really.

At my day-job, I almost never use floating point, so NaNs don’t come up. The one exception to that is JavaScript, where NaNs pop up significantly more than in most other languages - parseInt() will return a NaN if you give it an invalid number, most other languages a function called “parseInt” wouldn’t return floating point.

I work on a lot of code that uses SQL NULLs, but most of the time I don’t encounter them directly, because I’m using some ORM which translates them to Java nulls (or Go nil or whatever), and many query generation frameworks handle the weirdness around querying for nulls (IS NULL vs = NULL) automatically. Most programming languages don’t give their nulls the weird equality semantics that SQL nulls have
I experimented a bit with Sixel output for a home computer emulator, but good Sixel support in terminals is hard to come by (e.g. iTerm2 on Mac theoretically supports Sixels, but it's way too slow for any sort of realtime output beyond 4 colors).

I wish there was a proper (and widely supported) framebuffer standard for terminals with a 'chunky pixel format'.
> turning away from it seems like an economic suicide

On the other hand, not turning away from it might be literal suicide.
Yes. It realistically only matters in cases where the bandwidth is so low you're teetering on the edge as it is or it's a live two way conversation where introducing too much buffering will create noticeable lag.
To be honest, I feel Europeans are simply being underpaid compared to US FAANG salaries. Not necessarily compared to EU FAANG salaries as they are lower and even if that's case, it's not glaringly obvious (to me at least).
> My company could just represent the skins as ERC721 tokens and instantly have access to the wealth of infrastructure that already supports the ERC721 standard. People can buy and sell on a marketplace of their choosing (Opensea, Blur, etc.), they can manage their assets using a wallet of their choice (Metamask, Rainbow, Frame, Coinbase Wallet, etc.).

But doing all the work to integrate ERC721 into your game might take the same time (or more) than a simple centralized payment system (not to mention that transacting these ERCshits is costly, more than 5USD per trade most of the time). So why bother?
Them being rude doesn't prove your point.

This seems to boil down to a claim that when transfering data from A to B then B may be different from A. No, it won't, and that's the point. Data transfer via a reliable protocol, e.g. TCP (and when using UDP you simply apply a framework with its own error correction, as e.g. OpenVPN UDP does). I mean, in my job we transfer petabytes of data.. if B wasn't equal to A.. no. What can, and does, happen is that the data at A or the data at B could experience bit flips typically due to cosmic radiation - this does happen, which is one reason ECC RAM is better for some situations, but if this happens during transport then the protocol will handle that and you still get B = A.
Wow, this says everything I need to know about you. You are arguing in incredibly bad faith.

Germany? What the natural gas thing? They heavily relied on it through building up gas heating and then they had to embargo Russia due to their invasion of Ukraine. You can't replace all German homes with heat pumps overnight, and they hadn't even started until the war started.

Texas? They refuse to winterize their energy grid against winter weather and have repeatedly suffered failures over the last couple decades when they get an bad winter storm. Note that the biggest parts of the grid that failed were natural gas power generation. They are also not connected to the rest of the US grids which could have helped, because they don't want to be federally regulated, because they don't want to spend money to winterize their grid.

Now, what does that have to do with dams and batteries? Absolutely nothing. It's just fossil fuel generation failing thanks to regressive policy. You realize you have to build the new power generation before you can blame it right?

Nice try.

Don't worry, I don't have to convince you. Solar and wind will get so cheap even stubborn regressives will want to build it. Only the fossil fuel companies will resist. I guess maybe you work for one?
Ask HN: Is being remote affecting your job search?
For the last couple years good arguments were made to move to a lcol location and work remotely.

The golden ticket was to pull this off with a faang / faang adjacent company - make Bay Area SWE wages while living in Nashville.

Now that the job market has drastically changed, do you see living in these places where you have to primarily rely on remote work posing a challenge to finding work? Do people in the hcol tech hubs have a significant advantage or is remote work the new normal so the playing field is more or less level?

Interested to read your thoughts and experiences.

I don't think the price of a $10 sensor would trump Elon's desire to be right about vision. Price was a factor for not using the larger, longer range lidars though since that cost more than planned price of the vehicle ~10 years ago.
I've got no illusions about NFTs, but I also think they're perpendicular to the real takeaway from this article: Instagram yet again tried to ape a competitor's (in this case Twitter's) feature, yet again did not check whether any of their users wanted it, and yet again shuttered it after wasting a lot of time, money, and goodwill. I am starting to wonder if it is Facebook's dumping ground for features that they don't want to test-in-prod on Facebook actual.
Facebook may destroy their social networks by releasing LLMs. What will happen to spam when it could be driven by local LLMs? You'll have realistic accounts, with realistic pictures, posting realistic messages only to spam links or ads x% of the time.

(Though to be clear I do hope Facebook does release more models because I want to play with them)
Hooray for tech monopolies prohibiting the use of open source payment protocols and continuing to force a ridiculous rent on users and developers? Typical HN view, at least.

Yeah hence I mention the WAN. Generally some link along your WAN route is oversaturated, on a shitty ISP it's probably the link to your local ISP itself. I presumed audiophile switches would be popular for real-time streaming solutions, but I still don't understand the appeal.
He got a $20K investment from his dad for his first company, Zip2, in 1995. That's about $40K in today's dollars. X.com/paypal success seems to have happened in spite of him, not due to him. He got billions from it because he had been lucky enough to be one of the early investors.

I'm not actually saying that he's not a great business tycoon, he clearly is based on track record. Plenty of people have the kind of base resources he had without amounting to anything. Either they don't bother to even try or are too stupid or too unlucky too succeed. His parents wealth is still the catapult that launched him to his current success.

There are plenty of people who could have done what he's done but did not because of lack of resources.
I'd go out on a limb and guess you can probably find a
$100-200 DAC with the same chip in it that no one is
ever going to be able to tell apart from the $10,000 one.

Good news!

You're right, and there are a lot of inexpensive, engineering-driven "audiophile" products that do exactly what you say.

Topping, Schitt, JDS Labs, and SMSL are a few who offer outstanding products in that $100-$200 price range.

For example, here's a unit from Topping that combines a top notch DAC and headphone amplifier for $200. Objective measurements taken with a very expensive AudioPrecision analyzer: https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/t...

$129 DAC, made in America, also very close to state of the art objective performance: https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/s...

It's fun (and actually, important) to laugh at the audiophile lunatic fringe, but most of us don't play that way.
Apart from leaks harming the privacy of customers, paying ransoms does social harm by providing an income and incentive to criminals.

I found leaked details of Royal Mail's negotiations with their attackers fascinating [0].

I'm not sure it's practical to outlaw the payment of ransoms, but it should at least be heavily taxed (say, 100%). Naively, I would expect this to cut by half the amount that can be extorted through ransomware attacks, making countries that implement such a tax less attractive targets.

>We can throw darts to the board and measure how close we are to the bullseye. Then we can tune parameters like throwing force, elbow angel, etc. These parameters have physical meaning. We can reason that by throwing harder, the trajectory of the dart can be so and so affected, hence causing the dart to fall closer to or further from the bullseye.

This is how Newtonian physics is derived. Similar to neural networks you create an approximation based off your observations. The actual reason why those approximations work is not necessary to be known to utilize Newtonian physics.

>in each layer of a CNN, is it doing Fourier transform, low pass filtering, rotating, scaling or whatever? And even if they are, why does it work? Why does it give the result that we want?

What the layers themselves are actually doing doesn't really matter and each one is just a part of a larger system. What is important is finding a set of weights that approximates a function that minimizes loss. People care about the ability to find this approximations. What exactly it is found is less of a concern.

Obviously they're not going to cut all ties, but it's a good time for Kazakhs (or any other ex-Soviet population still in the Russian orbit) to renegotiate contracts. The bear is in a position of weakness both on diplomatic, economic, and military terms.

Convenience. Why would anybody maintain your house at cost? What would they live from?
All of this is literally easier and cheaper to do without NFT woo. The reason why it doesn't already exist is that there's practically no need for it.

Do you not see how this is a bad idea? What value is the NFT deed? The house has the value - what's the NFT worth? If you have the NFT deed, are you the house owner? Bruh.
