The original comment asked for enumerations. Despite him not realizing, Go has those. It has a relatively unique syntax for defining enums, sure, but enumerations are not defined by specific syntax. They are a higher level concept that transcends any specific syntax implementation.

The original comment also hinted at wanting other features that some other languages have, including Pascal, although not stating which features specifically. I expect he was referring to wanting some kind of constraint system, which is the most common feature I hear requested of Go. But that's beyond the scope of enumerations.
I absolutely think it’s about the actor AND the category.

The CCP has really been stepping up its game and putting pressure on in a bad way lately.

The South China Sea, Taiwan, Russian interaction… lots of geopolitical reasons for the two governments to be unfriendly at the moment.
Unless you're shipping an iOS/MacOS app though, getting to that "happy place" is usually the same number of tweaks away. At most places I've worked, the Linux build environment is just the one we use for production, and the MacOS one is ported to Darwin so devs can work on it. Like the parent said too, if you're working in a Docker environment it becomes almost a no-brainer. MacOS has it's uses and you can argue for it in places like design and video editing. For development though, MacOS feels increasingly less-relevant as time goes on. It's not a bad thing, but the majority of Mac devs I've met in the past half-decade do their work over SSH or in a VM.
Question isn't clear if the watch is stuck to the bottom of the chair.
The one thing AI does not even attempt to do.

(and arguably can't, because it really is a "brain in a jar" being fed an entirely controlled view of the universe)
On a similar vein, I tried to get chatgpt to play wordle. The result looked something like:

Me: crane

GPT: _ _ _ _ e

Me: moist

GPT: _ _ _ r _

Me: glyph

GPT: you guessed it, the word was glyph

Now, maybe GPT 4 or other future developments will give better results, but to me this highlights exactly what you're saying. LLMs do not have an internal structure in their 'minds' that they're pondering about. It's a very impressive engine for guessing the next character to produce into a stream.

There's definitely usages for this, but not what a lot of people are saying.
> There absolutely MUST be cases where actions have social repercussions, but are not actually illegal.

Absolutely. Social repercussions are not the only consequences however, and the "muh consequences" crowd conflates social repercussions (I didn't get invited to the party) with material life repercussions (I had my bank account closed). These are not the same.

Individuals have a right of free association. Small businesses arguably have a right of free association as well. Massive multi-national corporations do not and should not, they are allowed by society their size and breadth so that they serve the needs of society, which includes providing services to every member of the public. You should not be deprived of necessary services for a normal life because of behaving in a legal manner and exercising a legal right.
In what way? I'm certainly angry about both. The false dichotomy is to claim that everyone who is upset about Apple's abuse of power is not upset about surveillance capitalism. No one has argued for that.
The Salesforce center in SF looks like it's Penrose tiles, but I suspect they are cheating and are using a large segment repeated on each section of the skirt.
somewhere in this arrangement of tiles is a picture of the world.

> Using EEG to try to say something about executive function has about as much legitimacy as a horoscope

What? From TFA:

> EEG data over the midfrontal and parietal regions have been used to delineate potential neural mechanisms of attention and executive function

https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/1087054717718263

https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-642-95848-9_...

They didn't just look at EEG results either

> Objective executive function assessments were administered using the Developmental Neuropsychological Assessment, second edition (NEPSY-II)

...whereas there are no scientific studies that have shown support for the accuracy of horoscopes. Any specific criticisms besides the generic "moral panic" that gets posted on every article like this?
I mean, if I was paying for the power bill every month and had a limited amount of computing capacity, I wouldn't want my AI behaving like my teenage daughter busy daydreaming when I ask her to clean her room.

But I have no reason to believe this will always be the case. As these machines become more capable and our compute power grows, someone will give one a server cluster and some free time to 'think' on it's own.
It's interesting to see it in the context of Bitcoin. It's just what people do when they can pay for things and services more freely.

Show HN: Access ChatGPT within text boxes on any website by typing /AI
Current gpt-level technology already makes personalize psyop campaigns possible.
I'm just saying that the demographics of the audience were probably skewed in the beginning of the thread.
Oh, please.

Its not that we don’t wish to ever hear about the technology again.

We’re just sick of the current wave of breathless, manic speculation from nincompoops engaged in magical thinking.
Ignorance is bliss, very mature strategy
Ask HN: What's the most trustworthy Chromium-based browser?
I don't trust Google. But my IDEA of choice only supports debugging web apps via a Chromium-based browser. What are the best options and why?

Obviously it must be open source. It must be stripped of any Google telemetry / tracking. Ideally it doesn't trust Google either.

Since I'll only be using it for debugging, I don't care about any fancy features unless they are truly useful developer tools. Otherwise I'd prefer a bare bones open source wrapper around the Chromium engine.

If there is a business model behind it, transparency about that would be useful

thx
Zero, which is why we're not using k8s on-prem. Our team is already handling the on-prem hardware/software environment, and this will consolidate our apps on a single platform methodology, allowing us to keep the same team size. Using mrsk allows us reduce the complexity of our servers, moving that into the Dockerfile.

If we had gone down the k8s on-prem rabbit-hole, I suspect we would have required more folks to manage those components and complexity.
So, that's accurate, but doesn't correspond to the situation. At all.

'Escape hatches' are definitionally exceptions to the rules, whereas effects in React are standard practice.
While true, in my understanding they aren't the best-in-class for their management consulting, and the bulk of the labor is in body shop.
I just want to second the (not financial advise) line, the market dynamics now are not favorable to taking these sorts of bets, particularly since both companies got run up in the pandemic.
Yes but how will they do that if they don't have a clear understanding. When we build software, we have (or should have) a clear understanding of the various components and, in some cases, like with distributed and mission-critical/military systems, a formal verification/simulation of the system when needed. When we're dealing with emergent behavior, as we have with these large transformers, but no exact understanding of how the behavior is produced and only a limited way of refining/controlling it, I don't think we're in a position to guaratee that refinements in one area won't lead to regressions in other areas or a change in the global characteristics of the system. I mean... we're dealing with complex emergent behavior, at a different scale of complexity than what we have had to deal with so far (in traditional software development) and no mature verification/analysis tools.
In the future we'll all have AIs listening to everything we listen to. These AIs will also have sensors on our body to detect our emotional state (heck, maybe even inferring our thoughts based on this.) The AIs will then provide contextual advice. We'll generally say what it tells us to say; do what it suggest we do. This will happen for everyone; we'll end up, effectively, being the "mouthpieces" for AIs talking to one another.

The technology for all of this already exists. It's just a matter of time. Right?
I didn't notice the scale of the X axis at first, it seems like the difference between measurements is not that great.
To save me? I buy a lot of books myself, thank you.

It is just a wish, that is all. Don't you think education is important for entrepreneurship? I think it would be in their self-interest too, if they want to cement a legacy.

I sure hope you will be there to tell some billionaires to pony up their own money when the government bails them out too.

I am all up for discussion but let's not be rude.
Keep in mind that the photon is the fourth electroweak boson, giving a nice power of two. W+, W-, Z0, and the photon are all mixed from W1, W2, W3, and B, after symmetry breaking. The photon doesn't couple to Higgs, but still, at higher energy there's much more symmetry here than appears at first glance.
I'm not sure why it would be true that screen time is not a problem for a <1yr old. At about 6-9 months (maybe before) they are able to interact with the screen, and they interact much more with it if it has bright colors and responds to their touch. We would occasionally allow our eldest to use the phone around this age and she would become despondent if it was taken away. So we decided never to do that again.

Of course, a lack of interaction with humans could be a factor too but in our case we were literally playing with it alongside her and she would still get upset if it was taken away.
I'd say Microsoft. And they've been demonstrating that quite well.
There is no such thing as a natural right, other than the fact that the strong are able to enforce their will on the weak. Everything else is just things we, as a society, believe are important for everyone to have. And we generally band together to enforce that people _do_ have those rights; effectively increasing our strength to enforce our will anyone that disagrees. That's a good thing, and it's kind of _why_ society exists. But the fact that our society values a right doesn't make it "innate to the universe" in any way. Rights are "discovered", they are "defined and desired".
I've thought about this and come round to think that the flaws of PDF are actually essential to the success of the document format.

- Non-responsive (compared to HTML). Allows PDFs to serve as a common standard between other document formats with different resizing logic, like Latex and Word.

- Difficultly of network access from code running inside document. Allows PDFs to generally operate offline. Nobody's brave enough to try to write a single page application in a PDF

- Destroying data structure. Allows forward compatibility with anything that can be displayed statically on a screen. New applications can have different ideas about how tables, text or charts should work but if there's static visual output then it'll convert to PDF. Awareness of say, the structure of tables is precisely what makes it so difficult for say google sheets and excel to stay compatible with each other's new table features. If somebody develops a new language with new characters not even in Unicode it'll still work on a PDF

It's also worth noting that most PDF limitations have the characteristic of making things hard but not absolutely impossible. These escape hatches prevent people with hard requirements from actually moving to a new format.

If it were truly impossible to get invoice data from PDFs people might've shifted to a different format for business transactions. But if it's merely difficult some company will come up with an API that works as a good enough extraction solution whose cost is justified by the other compatibility benefits of PDFs, so the ecosystem stays with PDFs.
Should have gone to Transnistria.
They compared children starting at 12-18 months and ending at 9 years of age. This study would have been unreasonable as far as I understand it until screens got small enough to put in a crib or only include parents who hold their child in their lap while watching television or have a television adjacent to a crib.
Same experience here, coming up on a year however. I was assuming at first that I was just used to Windows since that was my primary OS my entire life, and tolerated any finickiness/configuring to my needs on Linux DEs. But it still hasn't clicked with me.

Don't get me wrong, it's perfectly fine and probably works great for most people. But there's been a plethora of tiny issues and problems that make it juuust annoying enough to use for me that I'd rather not.

Window management is one example. Needing a third party program running to fix scrolling with a mouse is obnoxious. Had an update that failed because it couldn't close a program, I clicked the cancel option on the dialog, and when I later closed that application then the machine restarted and applied the update. I haven't had even Windows force an update on me like that in years. The VPN client will store a password, then not use it (although maybe that's related to the host?). There have been other issues for me, those are just the ones I remember.

It's a shame too, I love the hardware of the MacBook: screen, speakers, track pad, even the keyboard are all great. If this was a personal device I'd probably be getting into Asahi despite its very much in development state (and yes I know a lot of what I like about the hardware has underlying software making it great which doesn't translate to Asahi right now, but I'm confident it'll get there one day).
Anyone who's not 1) CCP shill or 2) completely naive understands that it is, and most likely was designed from the core up with that goal in mind.

Same as Yandex that was shown to record audio(!) through Yandex Maps. It's what KGB would do, it's fits the pattern to the T.
cuLitho isn't an AI process. Ian Cutress covered that in his article
https://morethanmoore.substack.com/p/nvidia-enabling-computa...

> Of course when speaking about NV, it’s hard not to mention machine learning. Currently cuLitho is purely a mathematical solution tool, and not a machine learning accelerated tool. The engineering team we spoke to, when asked about adding ML tools to something like this, had a gleam in their eyes and essentially said ‘that would be the dream’. So not yet, but perhaps in the future.
I don’t think TikTok is “an extension of the CCP” but surely China is using the (huge) data generated by it to its benefits, by analyzing them. And since China is not a democracy, in the future this could go against ourselves. So just don’t use it or use it with caution, the preferences, privacy, data, etc… of the young people now will be available forever on some Chinese datacenters. I’m not relaxated of this.
App store ban, CDN ban, advertising ban.
Anyone here jump ship to Vue3 w/ it's composition API? I feel like Vue has the best of both worlds by offering a functional paradigm (composition api) while still supporting the classical object-based options API. I am slowly transitioning object/options components over to the composition approach in a continuous improvement approach. The ability to do that at my own leisure has been quite nice.

I'm inclined to think Vue is the better framework, but React has a larger ecosystem.

(Not intending to start a flame war here)
Even a competent and mature Congress would find it challenging to dramatically cut the budget. The entitlements programs are crucial to keeping people out of poverty.

The next biggest item is the defense budget, and I suppose a "competent and mature Congress" would be able to cut that dramatically, but it's a challenging task. People genuinely believe that our enormous defense budget is required.

The rest of the budget is a lot of little things, each one barely more than a rounding error. You could zero out whole departments without moving the needle. People talk about them because of culture warfare, with "teh deficit" as a fig leaf.

In the end, the US budget is so big because we want it to be so big. And that's not inherently a bad thing. It is part of an economy doing well enough that people believe the government will repay loans. Eventually we'll outstrip that, but it's not today.

The fact that Congress is immature and incompetent... that's kind of a different problem. And one much more important than the deficit. But I don't have any idea how to fix that, because the voters know what they want and deserve to get it, good and hard.
>Lesson:. All stamped parts should be deburred.

This take is like the manufacturing equivalent of when people say we need a law to prevent something that's already illegal.

The run of parts was mostly in spec. All they have to do is change their tools a little more aggressively or tighten up the parameters on their existing QC process.

Adding an extra step to a low margin high volume part where cost is dominated by number of operations in the manufacturing process is needless and wasteful when you can just do what you're already doing but at an ever so slightly higher level of quality.
I didn't say pay for and that wasn't a mistake. And the difference is significant and highly relevant to points we're both making so I suggest reconsidering in light of that clarification.
Sorry, misread the TLD.
You do live in that world. You can trust random strangers but not ones the look like “youths” in Baltimore. Use your brain to asses the risk level.
I looks like InvokeAI but more expensive.
From the article, it seems like the rush was to collect enough evidence to file a challenge within the legal timeframe. With a challenge filed, it seems like there is a bit more time to verify claims + other evidence. (I know nothing of the system of government there, but) -- it seems like the prudent thing to do would be for the courts to mandate a neutral verification of each of those paper sheets. (ie, 10 trusted representatives from each party re-key the figures manually).
The only time cryptos are mentioned here is when there are bad news, and BTC is doing well at the moment so you won't hear it about for a while, at least until the next bear run.

This exact problem was even called out in kotaku's reporting on this. The exaggerated mouth movement really lean into the weakness of the engine. I'm surprised that they didn't notice this during production of the clip and adjusted how the scene was acted accordingly.
It seems to me that when combating bots or hackers, the wrong approach is to provide immediate negative feedback. Giving an immediate error code lets them know that their current strategy is not working and to try something different.

It seems like a better approach would be to make them think you were accepting the results, when in fact they were going to the bit bucket. Hackers trying to get into your corporate database should be presented with a table full of false (but plausible) data rather than an error. Let them waste time trying to use all those fake SS numbers or account numbers before they figure out they got duped.
He was arrested at the airport, it is unclear if he was trying to enter or leave Montenegro. I can imagine he was trying to go somewhere else.
"screens have not changed since then"

What? They've changed massively. The displays are different sizes, they're made of different materials, they're more portable, they're more interactive, the colors are brighter, the resolution is better. Our current generation of screens are ubiquitous in a way that TV was not, and they are qualitatively different. Surely the effect on our brains could be different. Not saying that this particular study is great but I don't understand how anyone can dismiss this line of thinking as nothing more than the same moral panic Socrates once had about books, or whatever. Have you not noticed changes in your own attention span, memory, and thought processes since the advent of smartphones and tablets?

If LLM would write code faster or better than me, I would use LLM. But LLM comes up with perverse algorithms that I need to understand, debug and fix.

This doesn't address soft failures, though. What if the worker didn't fully tighten them to spec but did partially tighten them? What if the bolt was cross-threaded, how could you tell from a video? The amount of camera angles and quality of cameras needed to actually make these calls seems like it would be nigh-impossible.

The data-to-noise ratio of video is pretty bad (most of it going to be wasted on data for... the factory floor or whatever), compared to something like logging the torque of every bolt on the line (which, they already do in some situations).
I get the point of this in a way, though it's easy enough to just ignore stuff you consider 'noise', surely.

I'd really urge you to dive deeper into this one though. Ignore the noise maybe, but this really is something different IMHO, and I've seem a lot of hype, from '4GL computer languages' to 'fifth generation computers' to ...
