Thanks to Valve and the Steam Deck, all games that I care about now run on Linux.

I sadly still need to use Excel in a VM sometimes, because the text import crashes in Wine. But apart from that, this year has finally been the year of the Linux Desktop for me. And 3 months later, I can say that it's been a bliss :)

PopOS feels exceptionally responsive. Looking back, it's hard to justify why Windows was feeling so sluggish on a PCI5 NVME with 64GB RAM and high-end GPU...

> at absurd brand markup

The markup for Apple hardware is really not big at all. They just don't have a budget option. If you compare macbooks to really any competing device the prices are similar (and the competing device will be much worse). Same situation when comparing iPhone to flagship Android. In fact, new iPhones are often cheaper than new flagship Android phones.

There was once a time where what you said is true, where a truly great Windows laptop could be had for half the price or less than a mac, and a flagship Android phone could be had for half the price or less than an iPhone, but that was in the past. Now, there is almost price parity.
Not GP, but:

I do, however when I do this I make sure the certificate is signed with permit-agent-forwarding and demand people just forward their ssh agent on their laptops.

This also discourages people from leaving their SSH private key on a server just for ssh-ing into other servers in CRON instead of using a proper machine-key.
1. DNS is insecure.... DNSSEC, despite all the effort goes it, still does not work in most TLD and registers.

2. Cache. People are caching DNS aggressively. Often more aggressive than what the TTL allows.

You don't want to save the fingerprint in a stale, insecure database like that.
Amazon revised the bands last year (at the height of pandemic comp craziness), so it’s now theoretically possible to get something like $300k in base. But the second half is correct. Amazon comp assumes 15% IRR. This wasn’t true for 2022, and it’s not true for 2023, leading to lots of complaints on Blind.

because both of you narrow visioned the scenario to what you do daily. it is a common use case to ssh from a jump server, use ssh based CLI tools and debugging. the issue stems from windows users who are coupled to GUIs. the behavior pattern increases IT and DevOps costs unnecessarily.

an alternative example: our org solves the issue with TOTP, required every 8 hours for any operation; from ssh/git CLI based actions (prompted at the terminal) to SSO integrations. decoupling security from unrelated programs. simple and elegant.

> I think capitalism might take care of this

This has never saved anyone's job from automation. Ask the coal mining industry in the US. In fact, capitalism will do the opposite because investors own most companies and investors like to see reductions in head counts.

> What if their competitor decides they're going to retain all of their engineers and produce 10x more than they did before?

There are very few companies where "more code" = "more profit". Code is a cost center and support function of the business. Look at all the companies that recently fired 20%+ of their coders and are more profitable than they were before.

If your coders are 10x as productive and your business is growing in a healthy way, your bottleneck is going to be sales and marketing. It probably already was sales and marketing. You're not going to retain all the people you don't need.

Greed is not the same as ambition. The difference is in ethical considerations and societal impact.

Wanting a basic quality of life isn't a "level up," it's part of the human condition. It's not inherently greedy to seek a comfortable and secure existence for oneself and one's family. Usually, attaining that also benefits society by compound gains with education and productivity.

An insurance company allegedly defrauding the US [1] and not even reading claims [2] before rejecting them is pretty clearly greedy IMO.

I agree that there should be competition and less corruption, but the focus should be on accessible, high-quality care.

The main problems is that hides the name of companies and laboratories under an anonymous goop. Is not different than saying: "programmers invented a phone called i-phone" or "politicians gave an speech". Is stupid.

The second problem is that gives the false feeling that science works like a religion, where everybody has the same ideas and moves in the same direction as in a priesthood following divine rules. Couldn't be more wrong and damaging.

Saying "scientists" does not add relevant info. "We finally figured out why..." or using the passive voice would be the same, but less insulting. "A team in the university/company X" would be even better. Is the right way to show a minimum respect by all the hard work of this people.

Journalists don't do this by inertia because science was never in their pool of potential customers paying for advertisement, so they traditionally "don't deserve" the right to be treated as individuals.

And when they pay, here comes the overcompensation. The equally annoying opposite effect, where entire articles are centered around worshiping the person. Building a polished public image of TV celebrity. All his bullshit about their epic journeys and how they managed to help everybody despite everybody putting obstacles in the path. If you are lucky, you can find a couple of lines about the real discovery, placed between a photo of somebody eating ramen and another doing surf.
I think you are right. Many people in tech, and especially americans, sneer at the thought of regulation, but I don't see any other way to un-fuck the most popular personal computer OS in the market.

If not for GDPR, my email and phone would be still vacuumed up by every e-shop and sold in bulk to some shady data aggregator. If not for the upcoming USB-C charger law, Apple would be putting their Lightning holes in all devices. Sometimes the invisible hand of the market has to be forced I guess.

Legislation is usually too little and too late, heavy-handed, and hard to change. But it's better then the current state of things, where the users are constantly screwed with no viable alternative for their OS.
There was a time when operating systems were pretty good and the future was full of hope. Windows was capable and felt modern, Mac felt powerful and had neat things like "delete an app to fully uninstall an app".

It feels like both of the major desktop/laptop operating systems have been on a downward spiral for a good long while. I'd left Windows about 15-20 years ago for Linux, and then made it to Mac — but to my surprise I found Mac was a lot worse than it used to be and definitely not stable.

That's what I feel now — which is least worse?

That is hard, because they're both pretty damn bad especially if you don't want to use an Apple account or Microsoft account.

Linux is least worst, but let's be clear that to say that you're already accepting terrible power management on a laptop and fun with audio visual things and having to hope your job doesn't require some piece of proprietary software.

Least worse if you do need proprietary software? It's all bad, may as well use Windows with a Mac wallpaper or vice versa just to signal general disdain at the hellscape we've collectively incentivised.
This is why user research is so important.

I started my career working in UK government applications (GDS), and I'll admit at first I was dismissive of user research as being some kind of hand-wavy nonsense, but I quickly came to believe it is absolutely vital.

It is. As well as procedural composition.

And in addition, for a long time the problems we were solving mapped well onto the kinds of decompositions we can do easily/naturally with functional/procedural (de-)composition.

In fact, if I had to choose one and only kind of connector, that's the one I would choose.

Dataflow expressed functionally or procedurally is pretty awful, but it has nothing on the horrors of fibonacci expressed using dataflow. Yes you can do it, but you really don't want to.

AFAICT, it is exactly because the connector we have is so good that we haven't really noticed how limiting it is to have just the one. A kind of gilded cage, or as I call it: The gentle tyranny of call/return[1]. And I really do mean the "gentle" part.

And for some weird reasons, whenever people proposed different connectors, they almost invariably proposed them as a single connector to replace all others. Which never turns out well.

As for public fields, the 0.9 change to allocator comes to mind. This was written off as a minor change, because Zig is pre 1.0. But what I haven't heard (and 100% upfront, I haven't looked hard), is how Zig plans on dealing with it post 1.0. Like, where are we in the gradient of: "1.0 will never break the public API (struct fields included)" to "deal with it".
Yes, for instance. Because defaults actually matter.
I've been issued a Mac Laptop for work, and for the first 2 months by far the #1 issue for me was the alt-tabbing (edit: always been a Linux/Windows user).

I've been successfully using Witch to restore normal window-tabbing (in place of application-tabbing): https://manytricks.com/witch/

Unfortunately after MacOS ~Vista~ Catalina you still need to grant Witch permissions for each application you're alt-tabbing to that Witch hasn't seen yet, but considering I use ~6 apps 99% of the time, this works for me.

To get simple window tiling/placement, I found BetterSnapTool to be sufficient for my needs: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/bettersnaptool/id417375580?mt=...

It handles magnetic corners and placement via hotkey. I mostly work with a dock and external keyboard, so I bound CMD+SHIFT with numeric keypad buttons to reflect the placement (e.g: CMD+SHIFT+NumKey7 -> put the window in the top-left corner). I don't miss the hotkeys when I'm without dock because anyway the screen would be too small, so I resort to just alt-tabbing.
I've got a similar story.

In 1998 a had a summer job, as a programmer, in a little shop that built computers. At the time there was a short of Pentium II 300Mhz chips. One day the logistics guy mentioned they had gotten a batch of Pentium II 300Mhz marked with an operating voltage of 2.0V, instead of the usual 2.8V. Hmm.

Intel had taken a bunch of their most expensive CPUs, PII-450Mhz, using the brand new 250nm process and rebranded them as the cheapest CPUs which were at the time built with a 350nm process. You could just take this, stick in a motherboard an change the base frequency and you'd have the best CPU Intel could make.

We never sold any of those CPU to customers. We all bought ourselves new CPUs that day.
So any and all commerce just becomes a different form of stock trading? I doubt it. People will still need and want tangible things.
Since mid-90s I allways had Linux and Windows. But when I updated a Testnotebook from Win7 to Win10 and saw CandyCrash and XBox all over the place, it was clear form me, I don't have professional licenses to let me spam from Microsoft with such BS. Since then, I'm Linux only.

This is not a good proof of concept.

It appears[1] to be a single file (~200 lines of code) in an otherwise boilerplate React project. I know JS/TS very well, also have no iOS development experience, and could code this in a few hours easily. I don't even know React particularly well.

On top of that, you don't know how much plagiarism went into this. It could be line-for-line an exact copy of someone else's code. A human can copy and paste code, too.

An interesting proof of concept would be a larger application with a multi-component UI, some business logic, and a database access layer. Almost everything that you could sell would have those qualities.

From Theuth, duh:

>Socrates tells a brief legend, critically commenting on the gift of writing from the Egyptian god Theuth to King Thamus, who was to disperse Theuth's gifts to the people of Egypt. After Theuth remarks on his discovery of writing as a remedy for the memory, Thamus responds that its true effects are likely to be the opposite; it is a remedy for reminding, not remembering, he says, with the appearance but not the reality of wisdom. Future generations will hear much without being properly taught, and will appear wise but not be so, making them difficult to get along with.

There could be (and probably is) some little app that sets good defaults in Windows and turns off all the abuseware. But who would trust such an app? At some level, the problem is that any company big enough to build a trusted brand is going to follow its incentives to just stick a few ads on your screen. We see it also with VPNs and adblockers.

Ask HN: Can GPT improve itself ala AlphaGo Zero?
Yann LeCun is making the case that generative models are fundamentally divergent: at every token, there is a probability of getting something wrong, and errors accumulate exponentially over the number of generated tokens.

I tend to agree with the premise, however, what if the generative process is overlaid with an "inner debate", as a substitute to having the model play against itself, ala AlphaGo Zero?

The sequence of prompts would go:

1. Please explain X

2. Criticize your explanation for X, use reason and logic.

3. Based on your own critics, improve your explanation of X.

I have manually toyed with this approach (the prompts are longer, you get the gist), and it gives very interesting results. This could lead to GPT re-create, on its own, a better high-quality corpus to learn from.

Is anybody pursuing this approach for LLM?

The sheer amount of bloat, sneaky privacy settings, ads, clunky UI etc. literally make Windows unusable. I was willing to put up with the switch (leveraging WSL2), but the entire operating system feels like a browser with toolbars from the 2000s.

> Early at dawn the scooters are collected by some polish guys in a dirty diesel van and taken outside town where they are fixed and charged with electricity from burning coal.

Aw shucks, guess we should throw away the whole program and give up on electric vehicles then.

Seriously, the first part of this problem would literally be fixed by the policy we are discussing in this thread (banning internal combustion engine cars). The second problem - green energy mix - is valid and also needs to be fixed. But using it as an excuse NOT to use electric vehicles is just a silly chicken-and-egg framing of the issue. We need both green energy and electric vehicles. We won't have sustainable transport until both happen, and it doesn't really matter which happens first.
FWIW, many people regretted using DNSSEC. So take it with a grain of salt.

All those deleted files still existed in the sanpshots. coupled with some bug that makes the snaps shots report their size as much smaller than they really were.
This is because Americans, by and large, do not demand better infrastructure from their leaders, don't vote for it, and don't actively move to places that are better for walking/cycling. Americans are perfectly happy to move to some far-out subdivision that's not walkable to anyplace, just because the house price is a bit lower; then they sit around and make complaints like yours. Put your money where your mouth is.

With the pandemic, we saw lots of Americans move from these walkable places to completely un-walkable places in Florida because they were working from home now, and could afford a bigger house there.

American cities are the way they are because that's what Americans want, and that's what they buy. If Americans really wanted to live in walkable places, they'd refuse to move to or buy homes in places that aren't walkable. That's just not what we see.
That also shows up on Certificate Transparency logs.
