But do the companies actually need more art?

I guess a better way to rephrase that: would it make them more profitable to produce more art? Or to keep producing the same amount but paying fewer people to do so?
I'd never heard of that puzzle, seems like a great test for ChatGPT though. Wikipedia defines the problem as:

You are shown a set of four cards placed on a table, each of which has a number on one side and a colored patch on the other side. The visible faces of the cards show 3, 8, red and brown. Which card(s) must you turn over in order to test the truth of the proposition that if a card shows an even number on one face, then its opposite face is red?

It's clear you don't understand how nodes or "voting" works. There's no mechanism there which would induce wild swings.
I think the parent's point is that the discussion should be "What limitations or concerns have prevented Google from launching this globally?" rather than a series of comments that are essentially all just: "sO lAmE tHiS iSnT GLOBAL?".
The contractors I know include everything in their bid. They build both custom homes and spec homes. The later are built and then turned over to a realtor to sell, and they need to know the cost of everything on the spec home to ensure they can make a profit in the market. Since they know the full costs they will give that to everyone and then point out how the upgrades are bringing the total cost up.

Of course their price is for the doors/windows they use which are on the cheaper end. Not cheapest - warranty callbacks and installation costs often make something just above the cheapest the best deal. If the difference isn't very much they will install the big brand that everyone knows is good as well as the reputation of putting in the "the best" is worth the few dollars profit lost. Good contractors know all of this and how to find the best balance.

Apple purchased NeXT in 1997 for $400 million, but I wouldn't go so far to say that Apple is NeXT.
Such perceptions of general trends are super unreliable. People jump to general conclusions based on small sequences of data points (probably 2 or 3 max, but let's be generous and say 5 or 6) that are fully within the window of randomness. By "people" I mean everyone, including me. It seems to be how we're wired.

The internet tends to have negative responses because people tend to have negative responses. People also have positive responses. The negative ones usually show up quicker than the positive ones (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor...). As far as I can tell, all these dynamics are governed by human nature and how it shows up on the internet. It always feels like it's other people who are the problem (e.g. other people are negative whereas I am a fountain of support and positivity), but as far as I can tell, this is our self-deceptive biases doing their usual thing.

I'm not saying there aren't general trends, just that they're hard to pick out and one can't judge them by how things feel; how things feel is randomness + cognitive biases + your priors.

Btw the "infamous Dropbox comment" wasn't hostile, it was supportive (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...). BrandonM has been a good sport about it over the years but his comment was misconstrued after the fact, and now everyone just repeats the story because it feels true and therefore must be true, and anyway why spoil the fun, and if the fun comes at a specific person's expense, who cares really? Btw the overall thread wasn't hostile either; there were lots of positive comments (e.g. "This is genius": https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8917).

The "infamous iPod comment" wasn't on HN!
It won't happen, but I would like to see the CEO of TikTok ask every single one of the members of the Congressional panel to disclose how much they receive in campaign donations from Facebook, Google, and other Silicon Valley companies who are threatened by the success of TikTok.
I'm super duper curious if there are ways to glob together VRAM between consumer-grade hardware to make this whole market more accessible to the common hacker?
The wordage "acropalypse" and this image chosen makes it seem like doing this is going to somehow break your computer. It is a bad vulnerability, but not that bad.
Driver assistance and fully autonomous driving are very different things.
that’s the engineer, and engineers are notoriously not good at estimating costs.

The hard part is building a product customers want, delivering it at scale, and iterating on product value and revenue.

The rest is just technology.
Wow, in what country? Switzerland?
If you need to share a professional document that involves mathematical expressions and equations, LaTeX is very helpful as a tool to use. The need arises if you are a professional or student registered in a course in mathematics or computer science. It's much easier to type multiple lines of equations, with the equation signs aligned, in LaTeX than in Word.

It's a bit of a grind, but you can learn the fundamentals of LaTeX in less than a week if you have an hour a day. It was actually a requirement to learn LaTeX well enough to submit a basic report within 1-2 weeks, as part of a first-year computer science course at the University of Toronto.

The course instructors provided a basic LaTeX template (which included some instructions as a guide to how LaTeX worked), and also linked to free online tutorials for more in-depth instructions, which included LaTeX Tutorial from memory, at https://www.latex-tutorial.com . I wrote out notes from articles 01-09 and a few others on the website (as the other articles were less relevant to my purposes) to learn the basics, and then reinforced and developed my understanding of how to use LaTeX by writing future assignments in the course with it.

As an illustration for how LaTeX solves a nice problem, a recent popular submission on HN explored the complexity of typesetting a mathematical document (named "How did Dennis Ritchie produce his PhD thesis? A typographical mystery"): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35177110 . You might not have as much of a need to learn LaTeX if you don't regularly share lots of mathematical equations, but it's relatively quick to learn. LaTeX has also been quite useful to me for writing a professionally-formatted resume, which has been much easier to update than when I formatted my resume using Word.
I wrote an optimized FFT for fun a while ago and a lot of this is quite familiar. Optimized FFTs are a fascinating field with a long history. I wouldn't recommend writing one from scratch for production instead of using an existing library, but it's a good exercise.

Using a real-to-complex FFT is really significant for performance and important to start with, as it places some additional constraints on the main FFT. In particular, the butterfly needed in the r2c and c2r passes isn't very amenable to working in bit-reversed order, so the trick of processing frequency domain in bit reversed order doesn't necessarily work. It's also important for comparison against the Fast Hartley Transform, which looks good performance-wise against a complex FFT but not against a real FFT.

I also found that radix-4 performed better than split-radix or conjugate pair FFT with SSE2/AVX SIMD. Both the instruction and data flow is cleaner, and the CPU has an easier time flooding the FMA units with simple loops than the more chaotic data flow of SRFFT/CPFFT. An FMA-based radix-4 loop can easily keep the FMA units at >95% utilization.

For data ordering, the vector-interleaved format mentioned is indeed great for the main passes, but real/imag interleaved turns out to have some benefits for the smallest butterflies. What worked best in my case was to do the deinterleave/transpose as part of an initial radix-8 pass that also handled the bit reversal a cache line at a time.
I've been working mostly with embedded/IoT/backendCloud stuff lately, with a focus on embedded/IoT stuff and having spend about a month this year interviewing, the quality of companies and projects out there vary VASTLY. I ended up joining a manufacturing company that's adding some specialized robotics...stuff to their product line. Cool stuff and in a product domain I know a lot about. Great people, too. I heard about these guys because my former boss worked with them all before their start up got acquired by the MfgCo a while back. Definitely not the folks you'd peg for doing quality tech work, but they are. Compensation wasn't the best offer I landed, but it's good enough and I feel like I'm working with adults who know what they're doing and that's worth a lot to me.

Something in Marginalia's query processing is almost comically broken right now. Only really works well for single-term queries. Got a fix in the pipe, but it'll be a week or so.
The linked github looks like a compiler written in C to a virtual machine written in C to me. Slightly sad it isn't self hosted, sometimes you get a VM in C and the compiler in the language itself.

Found some other implementations under https://iolanguage.org/links.html. None claim to be complete or working, one link was dead :(
It reads odd as it is written as someone having the understanding of their technical workflow and doing benchmarking while simultaneously essentially falling for the same marketing hype that Apple used for the previous chip. Like, you can't act both ways.

It is true that Apple is pushing the ANE very hard in its marketing considering how little apps actually use it.

You seem to be stuck in your ways, so that even when new better alternatives are created, you dismiss them unceremoniously, possibly without having taken the time to evaluate them.

It's something I've noticed with quite a few linux users, and I find that super interesting!

May I ask what's your age range? (just curious)

Do you think the time spend in an exploratory phase for new tools (ex: getting familiar with fzy) would not be recovered by time gains in the exploitation phase? Or is it because of a fear of the unknown, or a belief that old habits may be hard to change?

It's a very serious question BTW, I hope it's not too personal
I got the same one.

Bad experience Google.

What gives.
I wonder if using Bluetooth LE would use less power as you wouldn’t have to connect to a hotspot?

The display could wake up and ping the raspberry pi which would send it the new image and everyone goes back to sleep until the next morning.

Probably doesn’t matter all that much but if you wanted maximum battery life, maybe?

I remember liking Look to Windward and Excession a lot, I think because they're centrally about the lives and motivations of the minds. For that reason though they may be better later, once you've got more exposure to and questions about their actions and experiences.

Surface Detail also really stuck with me for its unique conflict & setting. It's about a war over the fates of people unwillingly uploaded into a simulation of hell after their deaths. With the soldiers being continually "reincarnated" back into different iterations of the same fight. Banks has a really unsettling edge to a lot of his stuff that is just barely kept out of view in a lot of the culture books, but this one he just lets it rip and it's very effective.
Great, that is good to know! Perhaps a little about this on the site could be helpful for others.
Seems like the financial speculators want to keep on speculating the low interest rates.. what a surprise
I generally will use vcr[0] or something similar to record requests and then I write tests and code against that.

3rd parties go down, it happens. In general a system that is dependent on a third party should have some non exceptional behavior when that happens.

So if I’m not setup with vcr, and 3rd party is down- I would on the behavior for what happens when it’s down.

You can develop muscle memory for vim, less so with LaTeX. Vim motions are absolutely worth learning, even if you don't use vim itself - it is the most efficient way to navigate and manipulate text.

While matching speeds makes for the smoothest (and easiest) merging, increasing speed without having enough runway is a risk unto itself not everyone is willing to take (as they might need to hard brake if an opening does not show up in time).

It's also obvious you've not been around babies or small kids lately. Just like adults, sometimes they are wonderful, and sometimes they are fussy. The biggest difference is that adults (usually) know and can verbalize when they don't feel their best, whereas babies can't.

But parents can't know in advance how their babies will feel, so if you've got a problem with that, I think it's best you stay at home since you don't think it's acceptable for babies to exist and be babies in public.

And it's funny that someone so unsympathetic about others' driving style can be taking such a high ground.
Ah yes, I want to risk getting banned by Google.
Wow this is cool! I made a sort of similar e-ink display piece that shows your current song on Spotify - https://github.com/CampbellOwen/NowPlaying. Your project is making me want to try another e-ink project! I'm especially impressed with the overall polish of the enclosure and hardware, that's always my weak point.

I saw you mentioned you wrote a custom driver for the display controller. I'm curious how you found that process? I got the feeling a lot of these devices aren't documented very well, but that sounds like a fun project to tackle.
As an American, I believe you've hit the nail on the head. Facebook is as bad as TikTok if you live in Taiwan, for example. Both companies will (if they haven't already) give your data to their respective governments in a heartbeat.
Why it wouldn't be legal? It was in the contract.
That’s good to hear!
There's nuance you are missing here. Have you ever been in LA county where 50 years ago city planners made terrible choises regarding sidewalk trees? Basically the sidewalks today look like a cardiogram on some stretches. To the point where they are totally impassable for disabled people, and the city is often sued by disabled people due to these sidewalks.

Why haven't they been fixed? Why does the city continue to be cruel to disabled people year in and out, content to absorb the lawsuits from the few with means to bring them up? It's probably a simple case of those lawsuits being a lot cheaper than actually fixing the sidewalk to the standards the sidewalk is supposed to be fixed. This is an example of a regulation that was meant to help people (building nice sidewalks with various characteristics), but in the end the regulation was written with no understanding of the cost of these changes, or how they might stack up against the cost of doing nothing at all, so its an example of a bad regulation that should be changed so it can actually help people.
You could write an interesting article about that, with intervews and history supporting that possibility. That is not what they did. They ignored the reason and wrote a completely different and misleading article.
One idea could be to have the tiles have different colorings, then your game goal could be to make some patterns or continuous areas. Example tile coloring scheme https://ibb.co/n0JJXF3

GPUs are going to be weird, underconfigured and overpriced until there is real competition.

Whether or not there is real competition depends entirely on whether Intels Arc line of GPUs stays in the market.

AMD strangely has decided not to compete. Its newest GPU the 7900 XTX is an extremely powerful card, close to the top of the line Nvidia RTX 4090 in raster performance.

If AMD had introduced it with an aggressively low price then then they could have wedged Nvidia, which is determinbed to exploit it's market dominance by squeezing the maximum money out of buyers.

Instead, AMD has decided to simply follow Nvidia in squeezing for maximum prices, with AM prices slightly behind Nvidia.

It's a strange decision from AMD who is well behind in market and apparently seems disinterested in increasing that market share by competing aggressively.

So a third player is needed - Intel - it's alot harder for three companies to sit on outrageously high prices for years rather than compete with each other for market share.
Don't worry, you're not missing out, it's terrible.

It didn't know the difference between a month and a week, and when I asked it a coding question, it said "I'm just a language model, so I can't help you with that.".

Lol, lmao even.
The iPhone is waterproof and you can take a photo with the physical volume up/down key. I've used it underwater a couple of times, none of my other proper cameras would be able to do that. My two cents.

It sounds like you had 2.5 months to think about relocating and to investigate what the cost of living is in Switzerland so you would be able to determine what an acceptable salary would be.
I ended up using plain TeX because I learned from Spivak's The Joy of TeX. It teaches AMS-TeX which is just a thin veneer on top of plain. Before I stopped shaving the yak, I'd setteled on eplain which was just enough to make plain really practical.
I still use my Fujifilm XE-3 from time to time but use my Canon DSLR rarely--mostly for situations that benefit from very wide angle or telephoto lenses. And, yeah, if I'm going on a trip where I'm mostly only going to take some snaps, much less a local hike, I'll almost certainly just take my smartphone. And this is someone who still has a Flickr Pro subscription and used to spend many many hours in the darkroom.

I can imagine buying a new Fujifilm body but not sure I can imagine getting a new Canon at least so long as my current one works.
> stupid "opinions"

Whatever the subject, I expect people who like a certain tech to express their distaste about other techs. I just, you know, let it slide cause otherwise it's never over. If you're looking for a bone to chew, I'd suggest you go to Reddit. Seriously.
What is the point of providing food? Surviving? Existing? Is that the highest achievement? Is remaining breathing for a few more seconds the greatest goal?
As far as I can tell, this idea of newspeople as morally pure monk-like defenders of the truth is isolated to a handful of decades in post-war America, mostly confined to a few personalities and outlets, and was far from universally-held even then (lots of people blamed, or still blame, the media for our losing the Vietnam War, for instance—Agnew and others were openly attacking them as corrupt and biased for those and related reasons, in the 70s).

Their traditional depiction in fiction is, and long has been, as about one step up from pimps, con-men, and used car salesmen, as far as ethics and trustworthiness are concerned. I doubt some Golden Age of news objectivity ever existed, really, though the perception of it may have, among some set of people, for a time—hell, you can find people today who think Fox News does great journalism, so the perception of that clearly doesn't require it to be a fact. I'm fairly sure it's exactly the same kind of longing for a past that never existed that one can see all around.
My employer will probably pass 50 in a year or so, when I joined we were less than 10. I'll keep an eye out!
Typo: The Ackermann function is misspelled as “Ackerman”.
I'm not really into LaTeX but I am really into the specific problem of authoring documents with a certain (user-defined) look-and-feel by leveraging some (very user-friendly) DSL that is close to markdown but with more features

Does Typst support themes so that I can achieve that? Are there other tools I should be aware of?

Are there tools that do all of the above and have themes defined as CSS?

I'm aware of RMarkdown + Knitr which is a fantastic combo (and honestly my inspiration for digging into this problem) but that's obviously still too much "programming" for wider adoption
Can you show an example of what you mean by "scaling automatically"?
> However, it can be tough finding documentation how to use plain TeX.

I hate to be that guy, but... the TeXbook works and recently (finally!) had an official ebook release, illustrations and all. It’s a peculiar value of “works”—personally, I had to be stuck home sick for a couple of weeks with no reading material to get through it from beginning to end, it doesn’t really start to get rewarding unless you get through at least half of it or so, and I went away from it thinking that I like neither Knuth’s way of writing nor his approach to programming language design (“computers follow rules”). But it still has a lot of helpful stuff.

When it comes to more systematic descriptions and connections with more conventional programming-language ideas (it took me some time to recognize that TeX uses what is essentially dynamic scope throughout), I like TeX by Topic[1].
