That simple interpreter is inefficient, sort-of. It's 10X slower than compiling to code. It's 10X faster than ordinary interpreters. A compromise solution in some instances.

I saw this happen too. Lots of people doing overtime to tidy up the store for when the regional manager came by.

I had my hand in a cast at the time in a work related incident, so I only did some menial tasks. The regional manager focused on me for a time, and was extremely frustrated with how slow I was. He proceeded to show me how much quicker he could do those menial tasks with just one hand. It was weird. I feel like the disconnect he had with the realities of the stores is on an entire other level than not being there to witness it.
I just interacted with the WSJ several days ago. It was extremely annoying -- and probably painful to the poor customer service rep who has to take these calls.

there are too many government-sized subsidies all over the allegedly (but not really, not at all) free energy market. the energy market is too important to allow 'the market' to fully control it; so it's intervened with subsidies, tax-breaks, and other such kinds of influences (soft controls).

so many, and I know/understand so little about this, that I don't think it's necessarily more efficient. the centralized aspect of it (the historical norm for electrical grids) creates POWER besides the electrical.

It honestly does feel like they have magic screen powers to influence your brain. You'd likely understand what I'm talking about if you'd ever owned one. The interactivity, the high quality and brightly colored displays, the touch feedback and notifications...these devices are like brain candy. They're extremely pleasurable to use and if you get used to using them often it's very hard to pull yourself away from them.
> one of the companies that tries to address/serve the black demographic is being put down but what I assume are not black financial analysts

This sounds like Adani’s defenders getting mad about Hindenburg not being Indian. Fraud is fraud. Their specialty is fraud. Why is fraud okay or not depending on who’s committing it?
> You're using FAANG too liberally [...] Their market is "big companies", any big companies.

That's fair (though I can't edit now) - it's certainly not exclusively FAANG, though it is a significant percentage. Public contracts may be a similar or larger percentage.
Apple has a stronger stance on privacy than Google, Meta or the thousands of no-name companies working on glorified ad-tech.

I think the comment was speaking in broad brushes about the general feeling on HN with RTO. Apple employees have a leg to stand on with regards to privacy, and you're correct there is no false dichotomy in Apple's case, but they're the exception not the rule. The comment is about everyone else.

Well, yeah, "Cancel culture" is a pejorative - i.e. When people I don't like do it, it's nasty cancel culture. When I do it, it's noble boycotting.

I'm not sure where in that article the re-write-microcode feature lies? That is, modern CPUs can write microcode for instruction sequences, not just single opcodes. Which is almost exactly what a compiler is, if you substitute 'op code sequence' for 'source code sequence'.
Not disagreeing with you here, but buying full licenses adds up too. And you will likely have to buy "upgrade" licenses when new versions are released.

That being said, I do like the license model that JetBrains uses for their products: if you pay for the subscription for more than 12mo, when you stop, you get to keep a perpetual license for the latest version that was released during the last 12 months of paid subscription (I hope I got it right).

It's a circular argument. Businesses don't do business with Business X, so it's too risky for us to do business with Business X.

Yet we have figured out how to let 16-year old kids drive 5,000-pound blocks of metal in public.

The distinguishing element of the two cases is morality. (Substitute porn for prostitution to sidestep the question of legality; the result is the same.)

I don't want the government to legislate morality. Everyone in a free society should have the choice to be moral or immoral; otherwise there is no morality. But if the U.S. government wants to effectively eliminate cash through post-9/11 KYC/AML laws, structuring laws, increasingly strict service-industry cash-transaction reporting requirements, and so on, then either the government needs to establish a genuinely amoral and private electronic-payment system that allows disgusting, vile, reprehensible, but legal transactions. Or the government must actively affirm the obligation of private payment processors like Visa and Mastercard to support transactions that conflict with their moral preferences.

Our freedoms of speech and association are being swept aside as the government shunts nearly all financial activity through private enterprises. What good is the Bill of Rights if you can't do anything without a debit card?
>That is not a real problem.

It is to me. I don't want the app store full with different versions of my software that will confuse any prospect buyer.

I also don't want my main customers to feel shafted because every N months I just push out a new app at full price. What happens to the people who bought like 2 weeks ago? I have only 100 promo codes I can send out - and those who use promo codes can't write a review.

Ah yes, reviews. My $50 Mac App has over 700 reviews (4.8 avg rating). It took years to build that up. I'm not throwing this away just because some corporate admin waves the idea of someone purchasing "15,000" units (which is never going to happen anyway). Heck if you really intended to give me $750k you could contact me and I'd put up a special version of the app just for you. But guess what: You're never going to buy 15k units from me. Neither is anyone else.

So, my main customers are single users who are not in a corporate setting. They are my main source of revenue. I'm not going to fuck with them to get into the "maybe corporate is going to give you a million dollars" lottery. I've been doing this software business shit for too long to be that naive.

You're barking up the wrong tree here. Go to Apple and complain why you can't purchase IAPs with your magical Apple IDs.
Show HN: A fully cross-platform design editor SDK
It's possible that a thing is simply inferior to another. Not everything has a place in the world. The amount of tinkering and preferences available on macOS is staggering, and makes Windows an also ran. Remember that Microsoft straight-up removed the ability to have the taskbar on the sides of the display. It's just gone. Microsoft can be commended for its software back compat, but its UI has deprecated so many uses through the years that Apple has diligently kept, hidden to varying degrees.

To this day, if you want, you can run Finder with no chrome, as a strictly spatial file navigator. There is a vibrant, reactive, and profitable market for third-party software to change the capabilities of the OS. Windows has a market too, but it is far from what the mac community manages to make. macOS is still a tinkerer's dream to a greater extent than Windows.

> Books and publishing industries are a result of a technology: paper, printing, binding. Now in the digital age an ebook should cost close the the amount the author get 1$-2$/book.

This is a very technocratic view of book publishing. I think you're leaving out a lot of what goes into creating, marketing and distributing a book which is not labour of the author. Even in the digital age.

Sure, authors could contract those services out using their (expected) revenue on a book. But at some point you'll inevitably get companies offering to manage that process for authors because it creates overhead that distracts from the creative process or thought process: Publishers.

There are lean alternatives to big publishers out there, so it's easy to get self-published. But the weight a big publisher can put behind a release, the distribution network they have, can - even in the internet era - still affect a book's success heavily.

Not smart enough to comment on the actual IP discussion, but I do wonder about the sustainability of digital lending

I say that as a user who LOVES reading digital books from the library. I got a Kindle ~a year ago, and have read around 25 books, all but one borrowed from the library. I would have paid for those books before, but now get them instantly, for free. It's amazing! Even getting/managing holds isn't a hassle- I check for my next book a few days before I finish my current book, and that usually results in getting off any waitlist by the time I'm ready to read it.

Obviously, I could get the physical books from the library before, but I didn't find myself doing them- the logistics were slightly annoying, if I'm reading a physical book anyways, I tend to want to just grab a copy for my collection, with Amazon I can get a book the next day. Digital book distribution does feel different in a tangible way to me.

So as a result, I am now not spending $250+ a year on books. I suspect I'm not the only one in the situation. Currently- I love it. But I'm wondering if it is sustainable.
I have the ability to make decisions before returning a response. The plan is to authorize desirable bots, default to 403 for unknown/unauthorized bots, and return content for the rest. This would allow me to serve Googlebot via 1.1 and default traffic to 2.0.

I'm thinking that a parent request's time-on-page (or time between requests) would indicate whether to serve a 403 or content during a subsequent hit. There are a few false positive scenarios to deal with they seem manageable.

Any thoughts on that particular approach?
I've found it to be extremely useful when _either_ you know the language really well but you're kind of exploring some new domain, or when you know the domain really well and you're new to the language.

When you know both it's just really good autocomplete, which is great but not a huge game changer. If you know neither then you're not in a position to assess the output. But when you're still learning either the tool or the space I've found GPT to be a good tool for leveraging one expertise to create the other.
It has tried and failed more than once in the past.

I guarantee someone is working on it now again, and eventually one of them will stick.
I think this comment may miss the computer forest for the computer science trees. For a large portion of the world, computers aren’t engineering or math, computers are a tool to get something else done.

For those people, unless something fit within an existing (but large!) range of use cases, they were out of luck without having an engineer or mathematician figure it out for them. Suddenly, there is a glimmer on the horizon that all of that possibility the computer science people see every day could be unlocked for the users, and even if it only works 5% of the time, that is enough to get them excited in ways that are hard to describe to the computer science people.
This is such a weird request; perhaps an OS has deemed this shortcut superfluous?

NeXT was just more mature to me at the time. OSXS was trying to do too much from all directions, while I was of the belief that System 8.6.1 was pretty perfect already.

Agree on Be, and I've tried Hauki off and on. It really seems, as I default to using my phone for nearly everything anyway, that a system like that really is ideal at this point. Like a lot of people my day is spent a jump server away, so I haven't cared what I'm using 99 percent of the time.

> who elected these elites to decide what was and wasn't ethical and responsible? Nobody

First: basically every American literally voted for that by repeatedly saying no to the alternative (the communist party) in every American election.

Second: what exactly and specifically are you suggesting here? Because even outside of capitalism, the alternative to "people deciding they personally don't feel it's safe to release a product they created and worked on and know more about than literally anyone else" sounds like actual literal insanity to me.
And you don't think k8s made your life much easier?

I'm not sure the original proposition was that Valve focus on making that happen:

> > I wonder if Apple will budge on their not-invented-here syndrome and allow for a real vulkan.kext on upcoming macOS versions

> Native Vulkan support could also pave the way for a proper Mac version of DXVK

I think the proposition was that if Valve lets it happen, other interested developers might be inclined to improve the situation enough that it's not so much extra work for Valve to add Mac support to Proton.

I'm not sure who all would be interested, but I imagine the motivation would be similar to whatever is keeping the MoltenVK developers going.

You're right that Apple provides an a hostile and precarious platform compared to Linux, of course.
If the laws prohibit it (as they do in the case of Alpaca) then it doesn’t really matter how cheaply they can be built: the resulting AI won’t be able to be significantly monetized.
It is humbling, if not humiliating, that a stochastic parrot can reproduce such a significant chunk of human intelligence. The association elevates stochastic parrots more than it denigrates LLMs.
Given that even murderers, rapists and paedophiles get to have bank accounts, I don't think that there is any human opinion for which people should have their banks accounts removed for what they believe.

That's probably true in both gaming and cinema, as the genre becomes better known, and the unexplored possibilities space becomes smaller.

Still, there are AA games studios, even if most have been swallowed due to market consolidation lately.

GSC Game world (300 employees, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.), Team 17 (200 employees, worms, overcooked, escapists), PopCap games, etc.

But I kind of prove your point as most I can fit in the above list mostly churn out sequels to their previously succesful titles.

On the other hand, making good and technically impressive games has become easier and cheaper over the past two decades, with indies often reaching or going above the bar placed by AAA studios back then.

Tunic was made by a single developer, for instance.
I was about to comment the same thing. It's simply much harder to create from whole cloth positive visions for the future where dystopias can be immediately be extrapolated from existing trends (and our long human history of abuse, horror, and destruction).

Edit: If anyone would like an example, I'll offer Huxley's "The Island" as a utopian counterpoint to his "Brave New World". In addition to exploring the qualities he believe make up a 'utopia', a significant thematic concern is the need for channeling our innate destructive impulses* because utopia - should it exist - can only be maintained, not manufactured, through the active preservation/conservation of our natural world, our positive human values, etc.

*for example, there is an innate human impulse to subjugate others. Huxley suggested that we should channel, rather than suppress, this impulse into a productive activity that satisfies the desire without causing harm: rock climbing (which must have been much more of a niche activity in 1962).

"Human right" may be a bit extreme, but what about the myriad other ways we "take advantage of [our] economic position to make use of other people's bodies"? Am I a sociopath if I get a massage? A manicure? Hire movers to take my couch down the stairs?

If not, what makes selling sex different?
Technically you could just charge higher transaction fees and require additional validation, like a phone call to the card holder to confirm the purchase to reduce charge backs and maintain the margin. As providers continue to drop out, your transaction fee could increase to create a higher margin.
> How is it ChatGPT 4 is like a few days old and people are reviewing its ability to "build complex systems with state of the art technologies" like they've been using it for years?

Why... why can't we reviewing its ability to "build complex system" because it's a few days old...?

I'm pretty sure here "complex" is relative to what ChatGPT can do before, not relative to, say, what NASA did before.

AI is not human. The anthropomorphism is quite crazy here.
From a maths standpoint, I’m curious what the analogy to numbers is. Would this tile be like an irrational number? A prime number? But in 2d space?
How would you respond to the central premise of the article? Which I understood as:

* There may not be a lot of differentiation between different LLMs in the long run

* Where there is differentiation, is in data (both the data used to train it and the data provided within its context window for a given query)

* Ergo marrying search to the LLM, while currently in its infancy, will be a big deal and a big differentiator -- because if you can quickly find the right data to pack into the context window, you will get much better results than what we're seeing today.
Do you though? What's your opinion on abortion? Because every libertarian I've met is pro state-enforced pregnancies.

My first McJob was at an owner-operated McDonalds where the owner would roll in at lunch on a Saturday in his BMW Z4, see the lunch rush, wash his hands, throw on some gloves, and call out to turn on the other side of the grill for assembly and start packing orders himself on that side to help out the workload.

This is the 12th reply to your post and first one to point this out. I think this report is trying to ride well-off people's lack of awareness of CashApp. Kinda what they're accusing Block of doing, which is funny.
Tangential to this - no small part of the reason why I like subscriptions in the iPhone App Store is because Apple doesn't let billers fuck around like this. There's one place to see everything, and you can cancel anything in a couple clicks. It's part of why I'd probably never use an alternative app store.
