I know that the pronunciation for this is all nonstandard and "wrong", and I still love it! So much so that I bought the ghoti.io domain name, and I'm currently writing a collection of C++ libraries under the collective project name "Ghoti.io". (.io actually means Indian Ocean)

First was a programming language called "Tang" ("Template lANGuage", also a type of fish). Project available on GitHub.

Second was a thread pool worker queue call "Pool". Also available on GitHub.

Now I'm working on an HTTP server named "Wave". For surfing the web, of course. Still working on it, not ready for public consumption.

Yes, they are bad puns and double meanings. No, I don't care. Yes, I'm enjoying it.

And I still love the word "ghoti"!
When programming is gone, we will be doing other things.

In fact, ChatGPT and other AI developments will probably enable people like me to create things I couldn't before - like video games and software that I have dreamed up but weren't skilled enough to do.

Now apply that to society as a whole, and we'll be able to be more creative with our computers than ever before - leading to a whole slew of new opportunities.

Knowledge workers will need to learn how to play with this new tool and use it to augment their work.

I find watching RTS e-sports tournaments of games that I love much more entertaining than Netflix/Sports. The commentators just love what they are casting and you can sense it in their voice. You get to see real players doing so many things at the same time, constantly adapting. All the while the viewer sees everything and knows everything while the players only see a small subset. It makes it all so unpredictable and entertaining.
parent is only half wrong; given a sufficiently long iteration process any of the chatGPT versions would surely start losing coherency regarding far past requests -- this may be less evident when used within a well confined and (somewhat) easily self-referenced system (like Blender, for example) -- but it's especially evident when trying to prompt GPT to write a fiction story from basics or otherwise work entirely on its own without a place to store outputs and then refer back.

tl;dr: it's easier to tell chatgpt to "Rewrite this story: " and then feed back previous outputs when writing a story than it is to get to an acceptable output from massively detailed prompts or long chains of iteration; this trait has far-reaching consequence rather than just writing fiction.

I do understand , however, that 'long-term memory' is a very active point of discussion and development.
Adding to this: I used AMD's official amdgpu tool to install ROCm and now my card is failing to be recognized on boot by ubuntu ~80% of the time, causing a failure to load lightdm & start up. Tomorrow I'll dig around in journalctl to see if I can fix it.

Increase in whataboutism I think is caused by unequal treatment for the same evil actions.
Imagine there is a crime done by a person of a race X who gets a warning and the same crime done by a person of a race Y who goes to jail. Now by amplifying how bad person of a race Y did and asking for a death penalty you only increase that inequality of treatment.

How do you see we push for a movement and solidarity against evil in an equal for all manner in a world where some countries may not have economic power to put sanctions and other countries can ignore UN because of their power?
DotA has a healthy number of tournaments that aren't hosted by Valve, but a concerning number of those are heavily sponsored by esports betting companies. When (not "if") regulation closes in on that industry, the scene may look very different.
> that knowledge workers unemployed by AI

_Some_ knowledge workers may be unemployed. The vast majority? Reduce the overhead on tedium like data entry, writing e-mail, etc. They'll be able to expand what they can do, because AI models like ChatGPT could be trained on company data and used to reduce errors, etc.

If anything, middle managers will be the ones to get squeezed out when they no longer have work to do.

You are missing the point of my message. Just removing the pronounce only hides the problem under the carpet. LLM has no ability to "use multiple sources". It even has no ability to deduce, that only one source is needed to answer this question.

In short, if we were talking about intelligence, it makes absolutely no difference what pronouns are used. The main thing is that the result is correct.
Malleable Software in the Age of LLMs
1964: Arthur C Clarke predicts the future [video]
I've watched a few esports games, like Overwatch and Fortnite, and I have to say, they didn't quite grab my attention. The problem is, unless you really understand the ins and outs of the game, it's hard to tell if a player is doing something truly remarkable. I mean, how can we even be sure that the people we're watching are actually playing the game? They might just be pretending to hit keys and move their mouse, and we wouldn't know the difference!

Compare this to traditional sports like basketball, baseball, or hockey. When someone does something truly impressive, even someone who's not an expert in the sport can still appreciate it. There's no special knowledge needed to recognize an amazing shot, a great catch, or a stunning goal. It's just obvious.

So, until esports can make that same kind of connection with a broader audience, I don't think it's going to be a huge draw for a lot of people. Fans need to be able to clearly see and appreciate the skill and talent on display, without feeling like they're missing something or being left out. Once that happens, I think esports could really take off and become a major force in the world of sports and entertainment.
Isn't the code terrible anyway? Doesn't Musk want to open source stuff anyway?
How many people watching professional football do you believe regularly get off the couch to get some real exercise? I don't see the difference.
Why not both? Nothing makes esports and sports mutually exclusive.
Nature is already doing this experiment, right now, and has been for billions of years. This couldn't cause problems even if we wanted it to.
Most people aren't worried about being a prompt engineer-- they're worried about being a Doordash driver if it turns out that one prompt engineer can replace many professional, well-paid people in their industry. That's pretty rational.

That would take us from the least socialized system in the world, to literally the most socialized system in the world.

Single payer is “less socialist” than the UK system that has many of the healthcare providers working directly for the government.

Likewise, the US is not the “least socialist” today. In Nigeria most people just pay out of pocket for healthcare.
Perhaps in the west we can connect the rise of e-Sports with a near future of them as the Next Big Thing.

I have nieces and nephews who loves videogames, but are often not invested enough in one to really master it. These kids spend more time watching youtube videos of other people playing games than actually playing them themselves. I hear it all the time, how mystified parents and grandparents are.

Fast forward 10-15 years. Those kids are adults with a love of the games, with a habit of spectating.

It's no different than football or tennis or hockey.

(Well - it's different than golf, which sucks...)
Great! Looking forward for hand-sanitizer-proof virus in the next GoF research.
It is indeed very interesting to see that Greenland decided to go with permanent savings rather than permanent standard. Neighboring Iceland has been on permanent savings for over half a century and there have been heavy discussions around the public health issues that creates (particularly around sleep deprived teenagers). I’m sure the Naalakkersuisut is aware of this but still decided to go with permanent savings.

This article does mention that this brings closer to timezones in Europe (Ittoqqortoormiit which observes its own timezone will then be on the same timezone as Iceland), so perhaps that weight heavily on the decision.
I'm guessing all of these banks asked their quotes to be removed, ans cnbc decided to cave in to all requesters at the same time
At least you can say that the regular sports inspire people to be active or get involved in sports. I'm not really on the esports being a negative thing though.

The pronunciation of a word depends of a variety of factors, such as the path a loan word followed to get into the language.

There is no such thing as "when pronouncing foreign words with th, the sound is invariably converted to a T". Which sound are you referring to, the Greek "Θά" ('θa")? Or the English "th" which becomes the voiced dental fricative /ð/ or the voiceless dental fricative /θ/?

Does "ethernet" have a formally recognized translation by the RAE? No, it doesn't. You are being dishonest and making stuff up here.

A formal translation for "Thanos" doesn't exist in Spanish, what does exist is a translation for the given name Ἀθανάσιος ("Thanos" is a shortened version of the given name "Athanasius"), which is translated to Spanish as Atanasio, because it arrived to Spanish from Greek.

Another possible translation of Thanos may be the translations made by Marvel which I cannot care less about and do not carry any weight whatsoever.

And the fact that you are native Spanish speaker makes little difference here. How trustworthy is a native Spanish speaker? You will know it when you navigate the Spanish speaking Internet and find most of it are antivaxxers, flat earthers and people that believe "US Navy" is a given name ("Usnavy"). I know this because I have native Spanish proficiency as well.
I had a sync related issue with Messages.app on macOS recently. Escalated through apple support. The solution was to reinstall macOS from scratch. Not pretty but a small price to pay.

Now my lingering issue is with search: Calendar events and Reminders prior to the reinstall date do not appear in search results. This has been an issue for years on both macOS and iOS! Much Google searching was no help.

I wish that premium fix service included useful forums and…search.

I tried making it recursive and letting it continue with its goal. But I got annoyed with the token limit and gave up.

That was one of starcraft 2's game and graphic design criteria: it should be obvious to the viewer even if they don't have the game knowledge. Unfortunately the game flopped fairly hard in term of esport (relatively to expectation) along with the decline of RTS.

Early league of legends's character designs somewhat aims to achieve this as well, it only lasted for a couple of years though. Basically the issue is that when you keep adding content (characters, maps), the complexity just grew too much. Not quite exponentially, but definitely some kind of super-linear.

I think this is one advantage of traditional board games (chess, go) and sports in comparison to Esports. If I spend a couple years of my life learning the basics of Go, 10 years from now on, I will still be able to appreciate the game all the same. Can't say the same for any kind of esports -- and I did spend thousand of hours in a couple of them.
If you have multiple ways to 'see' the same X from multiple Y objects, then all of this get complicated quickly.

They removed it from the ThinkPad X1 Fold and got enough negative feedback that it was reintroduced in the ThinkPad X1 Fold 16.

What wouldn't surprise me is that they fuck up the trackpoint (e.g. by making it thinner). The Z16 laptop has a newer TrackPoint without dedicated keys, for example, and the newer T14s have flat keys.
As a manager that's all I ask. Give me an estimate of the knowns and an estimate on how's long you need to figure out what is realistic from the unknowns. Just let me know what your next move is.

The problem is when we assume everything is a known. I try not to do that and I try to set that expectation with my manager. If everything had an easy answer we wouldn't need highly paid problem solvers.
Good tips David. If I may ask, and I ask only cause I'm curious, how many startups have you worked for in the 6 years?

I guess I'm wondering what the mean time per startup is.
I have Blender installed, but haven't taken the time to figure out how to use it. This is how BlenderGPT went for me:

I started with a scene that had a camera and a cube. I told it to make the cube red. Result: "Error executing generated code.."

I told it to delete the cube. It failed again.

I deleted the cube and told it to make a cube at origin. It made a cube.

I told it to make the cube bigger. It made the cube bigger.

I told it to make the cube red. Fail.

I told it to make an animation of a spinning cube. Fail.

I told it to make a car. It made a rectangular cube with 4 cylinders, somewhat resembling a toy car made of wood blocks, laying on its side.

I told it to turn the car upright and make it more aerodynamic. It failed and I returned here to HN to see if anyone else had some advice.
I disagree not with your overall point but with the extent to which game knowledge is necessary. I have never played baseball, I barely even know the rules, and watching a baseball match is incredibly boring to me. I can't appreciate it at all. It's literally just people randomly moving around to me. There is no difference to videogames here.

It certainly depends on the game, but you don't need to be an expert to appreciate some of the plays. A few days or weeks of gaming are usually enough to understand what's going on in professional matches and start enjoying them. That's the same as for traditional sports.

That's an interesting 0-100% (eclipse all possible free speech possibilities!) imaginary scenario. I don't subscribe to it.
The fact that this being justified with the pretense of being "for the children" seems like such a transparent way to play on people's emotions.

From the start of the proposal itself:

"At least one in five children falls victim to sexual violence during childhood 3 . A 2021 global study found that more than one in three respondents had been asked to do something sexually explicit online during their childhood, and over half had experienced a form of child sexual abuse online"

I am (obviously) against child sexual abuse. I can also say, with very high certainty, that those numbers are being blown completely out-of-proportion, with the widest definition possible used.

To justify such a wide-reaching proposal behind this thin veneer of justification is absolutely nuts to me.

Depending on cache timing you can get N/2 copies of old data and N/2 copies of new data. And then any recursive calls that also need cached values grab the new Data but now half of your request is using all new data, and half is using half old data, leading to confusing results.

I am aware that not many people on HN can read Kalaallisut, there is a danish version of the same article here (https://sermitsiaq.ag/historisk-skifte-sommertid) as well as a different news article which sources this one in Icelandic (https://www.ruv.is/frettir/erlent/2023-03-26-graenlendingar-...).

"Accidentally landed in their territory" pretty notably omits the civilians slain, though. Should someone be forgiven for an accident if they deny it was even them, months later?

Ukraine denies this incident to this day, and has never apologized or made it right to the civilians they killed.

They repeatedly false flagged the incident, however.
Business people fund projects and figure out there are only a small number of people living in their parent's basement that find it interesting.
They were mocking people on HN who seemed to think this way.
I'm aware of all of the things that you mention, and you can assume that the allocator I am discussing here is reasonably intelligent and does all of those things.

Even with everything you mentioned, the point is that the allocator (doing all those things) cannot return free memory to the OS, because the APIs simply don't exist for it: that's what mmap() provides over sbrk().

In the worst case, even for an allocator doing all those things, this can result in an allocator being unable to return any memory: if exactly the last allocation remains alive, sbrk() cannot be called (as you'd free a still-live allocation); but in the case of mmap(), we can free most, or in the best case, all of the memory not in actual use.
