Basic stuff like eggs, noodles, rents align quite consistently with shadowstat. Even iPhone top model prices after 2010s seems to follow shadowstat numbers. The problem is China production. We enjoyed years of "deflations" pressure from "Made in China" and USD being hugely popular. Going forward with immense dedollarisation pressure (petrorubbleyuan) and rising cost of Made in China and lower quality from Made in India (India is currenrly in early stage of manufacturing curve so quality is not there yet) would increase our inflation. Even if it is not going Turkeye style, a persistent high inflation of 6-9% EVERY YEAR without strong USD demand will make shadowstat numbers more and more realistic than government's.
Stallman isn't interested in practical/useful technology. I doubt the guy who has a panic attack at the thought of his browser executing javascript without his permission and uses an email client to download raw HTML has a good alternative to suggest. His main concern is shaming technology that isn't free and open source.

There have been no panaceas, so how would GAI be different?
Why not? That means we're making progress. If we're not calling today's technologies "outdated" in the future means we're stagnating.

Just like most programmers who get better year by year will look back at any code they used to write and say "How did I think that was good code?!"
Why not find a buyer? Plenty of traffic and monetization
Nope, or at least, not through any obvious paths I've ever seen, including testing just now.

Also, both discord and imgur trimmed an image I uploaded to just the image data. Slack did not, however. I certainly wouldn't want to rely on that behavior, though.
My guess is that the performance overhead of inserting it into wasm was judged unacceptable. It's a little odd to me, I was surprised when I discovered I couldn't realistically pause a tab running wasm benchmarks - often when I try to close the chrome tab it just hangs.

The runtime I work on (.NET) inserts safepoints at back branches in some cases specifically to enable pausing for GC. It wouldn't surprise me if using WASM GC would cause the runtime to start inserting safepoints as well.

This is what happens when tooling providers try to do their own packaging. Homebrew, apt, rpm, and other package managers, as well as bash, zsh and other shells, all offer standardized ways to install configuration loader scripts for the user's environment, and to display installer messages that prompt the user to do it - but fzf has a bunch of functionality to go around all that and auto-update itself in place and hack lines into the user's bashrc/zshrc.

Not trying to single out fzf here - there are many other tools that do this - but I find this behavior really sad because it makes me very disinclined to trust the tool with anything. A command-line tool should not be trying to auto-update itself or manipulate dotfiles in the user's home directory. It's dangerous and unexpected.
> I don't care at all what the syntax is

I'm pretty sure, if the user experience of coding in a language is bad enough, that you wouldn't use said language, no matter how interesting it is design-wise. There's a threshold below which most programmers would rather reimplement the cool design features in a different language with better syntax than use the original language.

Does anyone write in APL? No; it's basically impossible, given the syntax requires characters that aren't on your keyboard. But maybe you write in J. Or, more likely, you use a vector-operations/dataframe library in some arbitrary language.

Do people write in Erlang? Well, some do; but many others think that connecting expressions with semicolons and commas is too painful to want to deal with (though not me; I enjoy "systems Prolog.") And some of those people got together to design Elixir, so they could use the Erlang runtime without having to write Erlang.

Does anyone voluntarily pick up IBM JCL these days? Or COBOL? RPG? MUMPS? These archaic 1970s languages all have interesting design choices — heck, MUMPS assumes a database as part of the language runtime! — but they're just too awful to actually write in. It's far easier to just read about these languages as historical artefacts, and then implement their good ideas into a new language, than to actually use them.

Does anyone use FORTRAN? Well, yes, if they have to, to extend OpenBLAS with something. But mostly as little as possible. And there are fewer reasons to do so these days, with e.g. cuBLAS not being written in FORTRAN.

You put a syntax example on the home-page not to impress people with how cool your language looks; but rather, to show that you're not trying to bait-and-switch a prospective developer, by talking them into using a language by describing its cool features, only to reveal at the last moment that the syntax is awful.
.NET Standard specified a common API that was implemented by the .NET Core and .NET Framework runtimes, allowing library authors to easily target both platforms.

.NET Standard solved a problem at the time but as elucidated in the article, it turned out not to be the right solution in the long term. .NET Framework is essentially in maintenance mode and won't be receiving new language features, so new .NET Standard versions don't make much sense given the overhead they introduce. Newer versions of .NET will still be able to build and run libraries targeting .NET Standard but no new .NET Standard versions will be released.

Greenfield projects now typically target what was previously called .NET Core. With the removal of .NET Standard, .NET Core was renamed to .NET to reflect the fact that it's the whole ecosystem as far as any future development is concerned.

I'm listening to this now and love it. The best part is that he puts clips of various types of music throughout (European) history, so you get to listen to them all and compare.
There should be a blog post about reasons to not listen to richard stallman.
It could certainly be improved, but it still looks much more usable than a touchscreen to me.
Well that is a shame!

That site is a part of industry and digital photography history!

The incredible rise of the dSLR and digital compact cameras was astonishing. Then to have the industry smashed by the iPhone and Android is equally so.
What you will instead find is the development of ML assisted stylometry. Not to detect ML but to detect when the writing style is not in line with how some person or persons (known employees or students for example) normally write. Or you might be required to provide access to your social media to compare how you normally post stuff.
Yes but without the Google.
Well, 20 years ago, that's basically how it was.

Picking the folds of the structure, often by hand, and applying a fixed set of rules in a p-chem simulator by computer to see if it worked.

Yup fair enough. Another reviewer that I like is Gordon Liang of Cameralabs. He's mostly a YouTuber these days, but he also runs a website that I think is pretty good:

I expect that Jordan Drake and Chris Niccolls from the DP Review YouTube channel will also be starting a new channel.
Unfortunately it only addresses the spent fuel rods themselves, not the large amounts of medium and low-level waste from operation and (especially) decommissioning of reactors.

I don’t think writing to a separate file is standard procedure at all. Way more apps don’t do that than do from my anecdotal memories.
Oh really? Sweet. It’s only relatively recently I’ve been able to use Java 17 everywhere (there were straggler codebases).

Yes, you can :)
People who have a history of deeply irrational thinking can be safely presumed will continue being irrational, until proven otherwise. If someone derails a serious work project and is combative and doubles down when the boss tells them what they did wrong, they don't get to lead the next one.

Well for (C) I don't have time to memorize the "clickbaityness" of every single news outlet on the internet (of which there are probably hundreds of thousands), so that's a non-starter in reality. For (D) that seems like a practical solution, but now I have to read all of the top-level comments (of which there may be many), to see if one of them tells me if it's clickbait, before clicking on the article?

Hey, you know what, while we're assigning WORK to other HN members, why don't we just ask that people submitting science news do a little digging and find a non-clickbait headline? Why is that unacceptable, while your assertion is acceptable?

One under-discussed component of Snowden's XKEYSCORE leak was the claim made in one of the presentations that the NSA has enough stylometry data collected that, give some piece of text, they can not only tell you who wrote it, but they can also tell you where they wrote it (in 2008).

Inferred from the "Document Tracking" slide about 2/3rds of the way in.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/interactive/2013/jul/31/ns...

It will be interesting to see if any research projects start seriously looking into styleometry using LLMs, but that's basically what you'd need to do to actually generate something useful detection-wise. Ideally it would light up a document identifying the style of known humans, as well as the style of various LLMs. If teachers actually start cracking down on this sort of thing, I'm sure people will fine tune models on their own text, ensuring that anything written uses their personal style, but we can tackle that once we get there.
I strongly recommend Rider, even for those using Windows. It's a great piece of software.
Install size depends on the features you pick when you install. Web / service / library development is small, desktop / mobile / C++ gets bigger as the toolchains + sdks + emulators are big. If your VS install is 30 GB and that's a problem, run the installer, click modify, and uncheck stuff you're not using. A lot of devs check off everything "just in case" but since you can add other features when you need them, it's better to start with what you know you'll use.
There are several centralized control points already in use. There are only 4 railroads that control most of the coal deliveries in the US.

Refineries for petroleum are centralized choke points, as are the distribution networks. The same tends to be true for natural gas.

The energy return on investment for oil has been falling, from 100:1 for the early wells, to as little as 2:1 in fracking.

We need to give up fossil fuels.
When I’ve asked chatgpt to explain something to me that I’m very knowledgeable about, distributed systems, it was flat out wrong about many fundamentals in a way that would have seemed completely plausible to a novice. It was making up algorithms, complete with fake but believable names, to solve problems that are provably unsolvable.

My wife, a physician, reported similar errors when I got her to ask it medical questions.

Using chatgpt to learn about something new is flat out dangerous.
Building out transmission lines for low-intensity power sources like wind/solar is labor intensive, like nuclear power plant construction, so I suspect factors like the Baumol Effect similarly affect the cost of both.

Nuclear plant construction has the potential to become much less labor intensive if it moves to smaller, standardized nuclear reactors that can be manufactured in factories, using mass-production techniques.

>>Nuclear is going to be further negatively affected if there's a transition away from fossil fuels, since the industrial infrastructure for making steam turbines will no longer have as much support.

True. However this is a surmountable problem. It's just a matter of using subsidies to achieve economies of scale in nuclear plant construction.
If vim users designed bus signage...
I think there is a broader phenomenon in the society for complete disregard for law/order and taking it in their own hands. Enabled by Big Tech and giant ESG corporations, this is a method of sideskirting written laws, constitution, the judicial process and force feeding the public with an authoritarian whip. It is anything but 'democratic' hiding under ostensibly kind causes such as safety, climate, misinformation, etc.

It's not a good look for the tech industry and the ESG corporate culture. It is destroying the very hacker culture that made them.

Also... not from Stallman, that man's view on things is... warped. Hard to take someone serious when he's the same guy yelling at contributors that "children are whatever, emacs is forever, I am disappointed you care for your children!" Among other things.
We will figure out better ways to store solar and wind energy for when it is night and there is no wind. There are already technologies to do it but I haven't seen any that seem practical to scale globally yet. Ultimately, we will build enough solar and wind capacity to provide more energy than we need for when the days aren't windy or sunny enough.
This is also why "Save As..." with old Word versions would often produce files much smaller than "Save" would - it was writing a brand new, compact file which was effectively "garbage collected".

We're just trapped in the present day tech zeitgeist. Taking a step back and looking at things on a longer time scale, you'll see there has always been good people to keep things in balance, and the general state of things improves over time. There are great people working on tools to identify AI generated content, and even regular people will eventually catch up to the impact generative AI brings and adapt accordingly, like most other technologies / developments.

I'm optimistic we'll pull through.
That result is hardly disturbing. Christ. There’s being anti-woke but this is just being racist.
Great answer. I'm a big fan of wealth taxes.

For the record I was using the word community to mean old people, younger people and the government they vote in. In my country care of older people is organised by local councils (sadly not very efficiently)

That scheme is great but I do worry that the demographics mean there won't be enough carers to go around even when they are paid will.

My roommate in college made a small fortune selling “Vintage Dr Pepper” t-Shirts on eBay. They weren’t actually old shirts at all. On Dr Pepper’s site you could buy old style shirts as “Vintage”. He’d but them for $20 and then get around $40 in auctions on eBay.
> Of course, Russia is responsible for its war crimes, but the US and its allies are the ones who wanted to encircle Russia by expanding NATO eastwards, even after they promised not to.

That so-called promise is a lie made up more than a decade later. Russia and NATO have in writing[1] that they agree to respect that third countries' are free to choose their allies, and even when asked specifically about Eastern Europe joining NATO in 2004 (which was overwhelmingly their initiative, against the hesitancy of existing members), Putin personally said that it's fine and Kremlin's official press release repeated it, without any mention of any broken promises or other grievances.[2]

F# works, it gets updates and there is good (not perfect) tooling. Everything you can do with C# can be done with F# too. Although most APIs don’t feel very natural in F#. F# has only a small ecosystem, so you may not find the right library for every task, and need to use something object oriented from the C# world instead.
>otherwise I would think you're defending an accused pedophile just because you have some imaginary beef with the FBI.

You're on the right track but you have it backwards. We should be mad that the FBI has so consistently degraded their reputation with parallel construction and other flat out lies that even in the case of a potentially heinous guilty person we cannot believe their claims before they are tested in court and the evidence, and evidentiary chain, is shown.

So yeah, I'm defending anyone who has rocked the boat and then suddenly been raided by the FBI for an unrelated reason during which they happen to find something related to the rocking the boat. I find it just as likely that the FBI used their access to plant evidence for parallel construction in the Dropbox account and iPhone 8 conversation log. So they could search for national security stuff.

My problem is many 3rd party companies simply are not upgrading from 4.8 which means I’m stuck on 4.8. It’s too much work for me to reproduce all of these 3rd party controls. Some of these companies are defunct, some don’t see the demand to justify even the small effort, whatever the reason the loss of backward compatibility has been a huge loss to the comercial ecosystem. Microsoft dose not have the power it used to. Practically every large tender I see requires that must be run in the browser. I’m pretty sure everyone is sick of Microsoft.
IMAP doesn’t support all the features the official one does, the most important one being server side filters.

Fastmail has been working on an alternative api called jmap for ages which should modernise 3rd party clients. but as far as I’m aware they haven’t released it for real use and there are no clients.
A single node should work perfectly fine when it's the only node in the cluster i.e. you're running a single-node cluster. If you couldn't bring up a single node from scratch, you're doing something wrong. :-) Show me your launch command, or join the rqlite Slack channel for help (https://www.philipotoole.com/join-rqlite-slack)

However if you create a 3-node cluster (or add 2 nodes to an existing single-node cluster) then at least a quorum of nodes (N/2 +1) must be up and running for the cluster to be available. That's the way Raft works -- Cockroach, etcd, Consul -- all of them will work the same way.

So in your case a 3-node cluster with 2 nodes subsequently going down (or deliberately taken offline) is a cluster which is offline.

There is extensive documentation available on clustering, which you should review:

Likely not even close as the endgame was a face-saving move both for Intel and Raja.

From the outside this looks like a classic case of giving someone a window seat and sending the message, if not outright telling them: 'figure out your next career move'. He botched Arc badly (both in execution and messaging) and was briefly promoted then demoted. Had he tried to stick around, he most likely would have been let go and soon.
As a former government bureaucrat, the reason why it takes such a long time to come online is because of bureaucratic red tape. The anti-nuclear side of the debate uses these regulatory hurdles to essentially halt any nuclear progress.

Getting all your private nugets onto .NET standard 2.0 first will help immensely. You can add precompiler directives for anything strictly incompatible. After that it’s just the usual dependency hell that plagues every modern ecosystem.

Also have a look at the MS upgrade/migration guides for .NET. They’re exhaustive and extremely helpful.

> Am I correct in believing that you think total market dominance is a GOOD thing?

No, you're wrong. I don't think that's a good thing. But I think it would be worse to invite politicians into controlling the market. Am I correct in believing that you think government should control who can do business and set prices?

> Considering the fact that you almost exclusively try to debate with people on monopolies regarding e-readers, I am starting to think that you have a vested interest in market dominance, either in the e-ink industry or the e-reader industry. Am I correct in that assumption?

No, you're mistaken. I have expertise in electrophoresis and involvement in the OLED display industry and know enough about the technology and display market to be able to dispute the 'outlandish' comments that I've seen. I debate in topics that I know well.
This is the kind of badassery that inspires me on all levels:

* Bidding low

* Negotiating an incredible daily reward for early completion (I imagine government did consult on the feasibility of this)

* Actually completing such a project in an incredibly short amount of time
And this is where it becomes tricky as holding a copy in memory so software can "use" it being against copyright also prevents it being displayed on Adobe's website, or Adobe shrinking it to fit on advertising collage for Adobe Stock images etc, all of which the artist would say is fine as otherwise their work cannot be advertised for them to make money through Adobe's service.

Supposing the AI said "here's the picture you asked for, btw it's influenced most by these four artists and here's links to their works on Adobe Stock"... is that better (or worse)?
If you start now, you can ignore everything before .NET 5. And then there is no confusion left. Just don’t read any tutorials/documentation that were written for an older .NET version.
