"just learn git" unpacks to two different things - gaining an understanding of the git model and how the various operations query and modify the repository state, and learning the arcane minutiae of git's command line invocations. the former is indeed a very valuable part of levelling up as a developer; the latter is only useful insofar as you have to interact with the `git` command line tool. it has no intrinsic worth, and if someone would rather write and use `gut` instead, more power to them!
Visual Novels are also valid entertainment. Or in this case, interactive movies. (If you play right.)

Could be quite a bit better if the AI wasn't busted and monsters actually threatening after the first arena with them...

I'd like to hear an example of an actually good and novel puzzle that it's generated, everyone says that it's able to generate them but in my experience they're the equivalent of integrating a number slide puzzle in a video game, exceptionally mundane.

This seems like a great tool to act as a copilot, but having read the medium article, that was an almost arid level of dry adventure with nothing standing out.
Over the last couple of decades the video gaming industry has consolidated into Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo and a long tail of indie developers. The big players all have their own events, so there's really no one left to pay conferences like E3 big bucks for publicity.
...is the game prompting a location service to spin up?

That's more alarming to me than the blue dot itself.
BRO. Your transcription is SO fast. I've hacked at a similar project passing to the Whisper API and honestly I was already blown away with its speed and accuracy (as was anyone I showed it to), but your implementation is so much faster both in TTS as well as the response from their API. I will absolutely use this.

If that future ever happens there will be much gnashing of teeth, but, well, we're not there yet. Apple's been threatening to do that since the iPhone was released and they still haven't, so while SIP is way more annoying to disable in Ventura compared to the big cat days before it existed, Apple hasn't actually done this terrible thing that we're all afraid of.

It's not impossible for Apple to try something like that, but looking at the client side CSAM debacle, and Apple's backtracking on that idea, I think that a future rev of OS X that's locked down to end consumers just isn't going happen. I'm not saying it's impossible or that we can stop being vigilant, or even that Apple's a good business partner (they're not. they really seen to hate enterprise for whatever reason).

But the day Apple makes that move is the day Apple loses their way again. Which they seem to have found again, judging by the number of ports and the keyboard on the M2 laptops.
This is a 'us or them' dichotomy that only makes sense if you need a perpetual enemy.

Most countries criticize the US _and_ China _and_ Russia _and_ North Korea, make trade where they need to and make a balancing act with alliances and relations between all of these countries.

> It's high time for global players to wake up from the ideal world where everyone can get along with zero tariffs or restrictions.

The US have engaged into perpetual tariffs and restrictions from the day it had the power to do so. Are you assuming other countries thought they could stop that ? Or what are you even talking about ?

I did YC in S20 remotely from Charlotte, NC. As a first time founder doing things solo, it was a great experience and most importantly, opened up a lot of doors that were previously closed. I met so many amazing people who previously I didn't have access to. Plus, the YC community was friendly to me when I had a lot of questions.

We had a terrible experience fundraising simply because I didn't understand how to do it properly. There were a lot of stuff in between the lines that I wasn't aware of. Also what I wished I would've done more of was spend time with fellow founders. It being remote, I felt I was missing the "energy" of being in the same spot as everyone else.

Overall, I'm glad that I went through YC and even though my startup didn't pan out the way I wanted to, it opened new doors and a lot of opportunities. If I was to do another startup, I would go through YC again.
That's a really good idea. I'm pretty frugal and prefer to not deplete my personal capital at all (as opposed to reinvesting business-derived income back in the business, which I'm fine with), but I'm also fairly confident that I'll be able to land several clients in the first year. If there's any situation that does justify expending capital, that transitionary period in the first few months is it!

Again, thank you for your wisdom! It is greatly appreciated.
I've not found a dependency manager that works reliably across multiple operating systems and operating system versions.
>only difference today is that all information is faster.

This is exactly the point being made (although I’m not sure I am completely convinced). The analogy could be “people have always killed each other. Nuclear weapons just make it faster to kill lots of people. Hence there no need to ban nuclear weapons.” The idea being there is a tipping point where the scalability of technology outpaces our biologically evolved innate sense to control it.

I agree with #1 but only in some domains. You can see it with guessing the weight of a bull at a fair or the number of jelly beans in a jar. But there’s other examples where it breaks down. In economics we have bubbles that are destructive when corrected. I’m not sure we want that short term extreme volatility in something like governance.

> chatGPT is pretty good at generating test cases for regex

I think this is the biggest part. Automatically generated test cases for regex will make verifying regex way easier.

Even better, when you come across some ridiculous unknown legacy regex you can ask for an explanation of it and for test cases to verify that explanation.

In todays world it's not enough to be the best programmer and problem solver the world has ever known - they have to have personal connections with the right people.

I agree. I think first year college students building things and releasing them to the public ought to face possible jail time.
TSMC didn't get ahead because they were specialized. Intel just had many years of delays / failures depending on how you see it. TSMC traditionally and still are a slow risk-adverse entity and hence were usually behind the competition e.g. Intel.

Intel had always wanted to open up their fabs - want being the term here. It was just never executed very well in the past.

Even ignoring the chip shortage and any recent political demand there has always been a demand for alternatives e.g. Apple / nVidia going with TSMC / Samsung. You can never rely on a single provider.

I see Intel fixing their problems rather than having a major shift in strategy.
Python as a language I find pretty nice. What I don't find is their environment and packaging system compared to something like Rust.

"There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it.", unless it is how to setup your environment.

I only use Python every few months, and it is always a struggle.

In comparison, "cargo build" works 98% of the time just after "git checkout"
I played on release on Stadia and loved it. I didn’t have all those issues others had. Instant boot times, no patch downloading. And then Google gave me all the money back I invested just to play that game when stadia went unser. So really a 10/10 experience for me.
I've read "flexibility" here compared to a computer RPG, not a people RPG.
Amazing. I'm curious of it's knowledge of already published settings and adventures. For instance could it take you through "Undermountain" or "Ravenloft?" How deep is it's knowledge of "Forgotten Realms" or "Dark Sun?"

Both NTLDR and Windows Boot Manager are capable of redirecting to subsequent bootloaders, this feature is intended for dual booting with older versions of Windows but can also be used to dual boot into Linux and other operating systems.

As an example, if you install Windows 98, then Windows XP, then Windows 10 side by side, the following things happen:

1. Windows 98 installs its bootloader.

2. Windows XP takes a dump of 98's bootloader into a file and then overwrites the MBR with NTLDR. NTLDR is then configured with an option to chainload into 98's bootloader by reading its dump file.

3. Windows 10 takes a dump of NTLDR into a file and then overwrites the MBR with Windows Boot Manager. Windows Boot Manager is then configured with an option to chainload into NTLDR by reading its dump file.

This means you can install Windows 10 (and Windows Boot Manager), install Linux and have it install its bootloader (eg: GRUB) somewhere, then configure Windows Boot Manager to chainload the Linux bootloader (eg: GRUB) by reading from wherever it's stored.

Saying that TSMC caught up, whilst "true" is probably not the right way to look at it. Intel just slowed down to almost a halt. TSMC continued to do what it always did.

So it is possible for Intel to catch up. They always have had a more aggressive strategy.
The work being done with Llama and Alpaca and so on is what I've found to be most interesting in the past few weeks.

The fact that we are capable of producing such high quality conversational models that we can actually get to freely experiment with is really encouraging. I'm particularly excited about applications such as viper[1] and other forms of plugins as well as model ensembles.

What is the TL?
While that's funny it's the opposite of what this is ;)

I'm all for the consistency in commands in gut for newcomers. I absolutely recognize that not everyone can just learn a bunch of command sequences.

That said I do not "get" why people complain about git checkout to switch branches. Svn used that and so being compatible with that was important for adoption even if people today, that don't even know that svn ever existed, find it weird.

But crippling, no sorry basically removing, one of the awesomest feature of git is mind boggling. Not a space bar heater moment. Heck git even deals totally fine with someone having pulled the branch you force pushed. People might not, especially if they never experienced it, but git the piece of software does not break even if you do it.
I guess we can cross this one off our 'LLM Bingo Card'. Since there's literally millions of examples of why this isn't true, I can use a different one every time this gets brought up.

Walkthrough:

There is a post today demonstrated that rewriting Python Code in Rust got 100X speed up.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35367520

(credit to EwanToo, who gave the link first)

Also the original author claimed that Numpy is not worth the effort because it is significantly slower.

So here is the demonstration of a piece of Numpy code, with 350X speed up over the original code.

tldr:

original Python: 1X

original Numpy: 7X

original Rust: 100X

new Numpy: 350X

For a pure client/server VPN between two devices sure, but I think that’s where the equivalence between Tailscale and “some lines of config” end.
Older D&D editions specifically made combat much deadlier and incentivized players to avoid combat or use out-of-combat advantages as much as possible for this reason. Modern D&D caters to a crowd that enjoys metagaming and minmaxing combat more.
If anyone has a vague interest in this airplane - I would highly reccommend seeing it in the flesh, it is probably the most incredible piece of machinery I have seen. I have seen two different ones, one in the Seattle flight museum, and another in a flight museum in Riverside, CA.
Windows only cares for other installations of Windows, it doesn't care about anything else. For Linux installations, you need to do all the proper preparation work prior to installing Windows.

That being said, as I wrote in a comment[1] further down both NTLDR and Windows Boot Manager are capable of chainloading into other bootloaders, including Linux bootloaders like GRUB.

i get you trying to check the nostalgia, but if you think news delivery is any where close to the same today as it was in the 90s, you must have had some future tech available to you in the 90s

Care to explain what you mean here?
I worked at Nintendo as a Product Manager from 2010 to 2014. I loved my time there to bits - the people, the culture, the products, and the business were great. They make the only games I still play occasionally.

I frequently get asked: "Why did you leave"?

The main reason is I saw the writings on the wall. The industry was turning to pay-to-win garbage, and although I had already seen a similar pattern with arcades as a kid, that's not what I had signed up for.

> The email said that while E3 "remains a beloved event and brand" that the 2023 version "simply did not garner the sustained interest necessary to execute it in a way that would showcase the size, strength, and impact of our industry."

The size, strength and impact of the industry is measured in billions of dollars and eye-watering margins, much larger than when I left, but...

As it turns out, an annual event for neuropsychologically optimized, dopamine-exploiting, cash-harvesting, artistically low-effort mobile games, with the occasional worthy AAA or indie game sparkled in, doesn't pan out.

Color me surprised. And thankful, that while these games make billions - like gambling - no one gathers 'round to celebrate.
Incumbent pushback happens whatever the issue though.

I mean, tax software giant pushing back against simpler tax filling is a thing, so the presence of pushback feels like a given whatever we do. The difference would be on wether whole giant industries are bond to almost disappear, as is it with the coal industry for instance.
Yes, ChatGPT seems to strongly prefer happy endings. Ask it to write a scene where a Montague bumps into a Capulet, and accusations start flying. One of the characters will successfully de-escalate. Or the price of Verona will show up with guards and stop the brawl. He'll even throw in some foreshadowing about how this will all end in tragedy.

I suspect that this relentless love of upbeat endings is a side effect of the RLHF training used to create the "assistant" persona. They wanted a friendly and harmless chatbot. And apparently it "likes" exactly the kind of stories you'd expect.
Fentanyl use is synonymous with suicide. People use fentanyl to die. So what we are seeing is a massive amount of suicides (overwhelmingly men). Yet this is never shown in media, it's not in line with the current political posturing.
Isis destroyed museums, monuments and libraries. Republicans will do the same, but with the power of the state veiling it in a legal civil costume.
YouTube is the same way (if I'm understanding this correctly, I don't use Twitter). You don't immediately land on a page full of your subscriptions. On the TV app I have to arrow left, arrow down 3 times to subscriptions, then I see my curated feed. On mobile I click the notification icon or the subscription tab.

Neither of these feels like I'm "fighting with the developers". It's such a trivial thing to do. And almost all social media apps do this. Instagram does this[0], it looks like Tik Tok only allows an algorithmic feed[1], it seems like Reddit has recommendations on by default but I'm seeing mixed things[2], LinkedIn does this (not that linked in is a model to be followed in any regard). In fact, Facebook is the only major social media company I know of that doesn't spit out an algorithmic feed by default.

So, if having to go to a new tab is "fighting the developer", then I think we've failed extraordinarily in this regard on all fronts and Twitter isn't doing anything new here.

Chrome used to be bundled with Adobe's Flash Player installer. Chrome bundled the Flash Player, so the only people downloading Adobe's Flash Player installer would be Firefox users. So excellent user targeting on Google's behalf. But those Firefox users didn't want Chrome; they wanted the Flash Player for their Firefox.

It can probably be dissuaded from doing so by using a prompt that makes it clear that non sequiturs are not allowed and players cannot just conjure things out of thin air at will. Not without an appropriate spell, anyway.
I would argue most consumers don't really understand the metrics. People will compare which computer has more GB of RAM, but fail to take into account which type it is or how necessary it is for their use case. It's especially common in the food industry- it's funny how often some products are market "gluten free" even though nobody who knows what gluten is would think to find it in a can of tomatoes. It's pervasiveness surely means it's effective.
There's a T-shirt with 'I didn't beat dark souls' on the front of it and on the back, "it has a lot of design problems that make it player-unfriendly and difficult to enjoy but the culture surrounding it actively ignores these elements in favor of hyping it up as the hardest video game ever (a title it definitely doesn't have a claim to) and claiming that anyone who takes issue with problems must just be bad at video games in general".

The joke is that most peoples first time with a FromSoft game results in them thinking/feeling that the game is bad/boring. I'm not saying you're wrong for not enjoying it, I'm just saying you have a lot of company.
> Boring to play too. I’m wondering how chatGPT, or other such aides can be used to make combat better.

You could just use a TTRPG with better combat for your tastes; it doesn’t take AI (OTOH, an AI with information on enough different games and how they play might be able to interview you to find a good choice, or even custom mix and match pieces to make a unique game optimized for your individual tastes – or that of a group.) If you don’t like D&D combat, there are lots of other models.
Yes, you can work as lone indie dev, but only if you have savings to sustain you for 2-3 years or if you can live on ramen. For every successful indie game there are thousands of games that never been completed or failed on release.

With small exceptions people buy AAA games from EA / Ubisoft / Activision / etc for the same reason why people go to watch christmas movies - they know what exactly they gonna get. No surprises.
It feels like for the consumer side game announcments and marketing have moved to the platform holders events, which are online streams. Nintendo Direct, Playstation "State of Play", the Xbox thing.

If it's not a console game there is the publishers/developers own marketing or something like PAX or the Game Awards.

I'm gussing the industry side is now at GDC.
If it is existentially impossible to hold the rich and powerful to account for any crime, not even basic corruption like paying hush money to a prostitute, then we don't have a democracy in any form to begin with, but an oligarchy.

Which by many accounts we do, but that doesn't mean we should just accept it. The fact that Trump isn't still president demonstrates that some not entirely vestigial aspects of an actual functioning republic remain alive, riddled with squamous cancer though it is.
