You are right, and it works quite well in the dark months to just watch it later when it's dark outside, but that won't work for everybody.

I wonder how many people pull up brightness on their TVs only for that reason and ruin the experience for all that actually bright content just because they have to see something in that darkness.
The import word is "currently" and MS is already starting to integrated ads in Bing Chat.

And we all know if ads come into play then tracking follows closely.
Fun fact: I'm currently through an interview process that has lasted 11 weeks so far, including 12 discussions, 1 system design, 2 coding, 3 behavioral. The employer has informed me several times that they intend to make an offer and that my salary expectations are within their range... but they've been postponing the offer for 3 weeks now and clarified yesterday that they want me to profess that I'm more interested in them than in any other offer I have or might receive before they make an offer.

FWIW, it's a fairly large tech company that pretty much everyone on HN has heard of.
I don't have a beard but I'm definitely gray.

It might be about confusing passion for the company with passion for the type of work that is part of what the company needs to be carried out as one and the same.

If those things were clearly separated in the attitude of companies when looking to hire maybe people would be more willing to help both the company and in turn themselves succeed.

Otherwise, it's a bit like professing your unconditioned love before you know what you've bargained for, and that seems backwards.
If that's the case then how is it so good at anagrams?
Something that Joss Whedon said in the commentary on Firefly and Serenity was that they deliberately took care to make the CGI bits a bit crappy - no perfect tracking shots of ships in space, but a bit of wild panning to catch the action, not quite getting everyone, a crash zoom out. The whole "cinema verité, cameraman caught on the back foot" thing. Even a lot of the "exterior mounted cameras" were done to look a bit wobbly and grainy, because it would be hard to shoot if it was real so you'd model it like you'd just sucker-mounted a VX2000 to the side of your ship and shot on DV as best you could.

It's surprising how it makes it more immersive than perfection.

Things like the new Marvel movies leave me a bit cold because there's no sense of "how did they do that", because the answer is always going to be "green screen and Blender".
OpenAI doesn't like when people contribute their data for open datasets. Sharing might lead to having all shared links crawled and saved for open source models.

Check out shareGPT (118,139 conversations shared) it's what Google used to tune Brad. How desperate can they be to act like LLaMA hackers.

In the meantime projects like OpenAssistant do the RLHF tagging the hard way, slowly but surely.

> CGI now somehow looks worse than VFX 10-30 years ago despite the insanely better tech

"Toupees always look so fake. I can spot them instantly. I can't imagine why anyone wears them."

Maybe that example is less pointed now that baldness seems more socially acceptable, but the point stands: Of course you see bad CGI, in that you notice that the CGI you're intended to notice is sometimes flawed. You don't see CGI the moviemaker doesn't want you to see, CGI used to clean up shots, CGI used to replace what would have been matte shots decades ago, and whatever else CGI is used for these days. You see a scene and it registers as a scene, not a shot with some obvious CGI composited in.

Recursing, some matte shots were horrible and obvious, whereas others, like Dana Barret's apartment building in Ghostbusters, were pretty seamless.
And that's before you even get to fizz buzz, where you lose all hope in humanity and start wondering if maybe the AIs should end software development as a profession.

Google: We have identified modern web development as a threat to our systems, and have taken measures to ensure npm users cannot store their npm_modules directories on GoogleDrive. Please consider rewriting your nodejs projects in Go.

That's a bit unfair on Node and NPM. The modules directory rarely grows to more than 4 million files.
That's normal thing. Emulated hardware is normally chosen so that is simplest to implement and the drivers are most common. (Before you go up to the specialised solutions) Hypervisor runs X better than native is true for almost any X for non-critical solutions.

Heh, ChatGPT isn't bad at some of those tasks!

She sat, serene, in the stylist's seat,
Silken strands soon to be made neat.
Scissors snipping, strands sliding south,
Softly severing, snarls set free from mouth.
She smiled, satisfied with her shearing,
Stepping out, stunning, a new woman appearing.

...

In the vector space of my heart,
You are the basis that sets me apart.
With inner product, we find our way,
Together, in linear combination each day.

Topology could not break us apart,
For our love is connected, a single arc.
And with limits and derivatives we find,
Our passion grows, unbounded in kind.

With eigenvalues and eigenvectors we see,
Our love is constant, forever to be.
And as we transcend into higher planes,
Our bond only strengthens, never wanes.

So let us be cybernetic and free,
Our love an algorithm, set to be.
In the language of pure math we confess,
Our love is eternal, an infinite regress.
I liked Baron Harkonnen’s depiction in the movie. The first time I read the book the image I had in my head of him floating around in suspenders just seemed silly to me. I’m hoping they make Feyd Rautha less silly as well. Sting in a metal speedo always seemed a perfectly faithful depiction to me, but it’s just so hard to take seriously. I’m personally more disappointed by the de-islamification of the Fremen then any of the stylistic choices.
openscad is parametric, it is very parametric. by some tokens it is more parametric than the "proper parametric modeler" it is however missing a constraint solver. that would be my dream cad software, a proper scene description language to model in and a built in robust constraint library so you don't have to program your constraints from scratch.
It’s not trading anything, in which case the above still wouldn’t be true. It’s just answering financial questions, so if it hallucinates and tells you Tesla isn’t a public company 40% of the time then what’s the point? I’m using a very simple example here, I’m sure the model makes more intricate mistakes.
And yet somehow that is not at all obvious. It's a form of art. In my high school memory of sneaking into my girlfriend's pitch black house at night, I could see her face and the room every bit this well. That's the point. It doesn't have to perfectly reflect reality; it just has to evoke a feeling of a situation. And this does.

This is what pains me the most about the US. Out of sight and out of mind but these poorer parts of society represent xx millions of fellow humans. If you could have similar standard of living in Australia where the poorer parts of society perhaps have more accessible healthcare and better social safety nets, then why the hell can't we do that in the US!? (I know the answers to that question, but it just makes me sad and angry).

“The bitter lesson” would like to have a word. http://www.incompleteideas.net/IncIdeas/BitterLesson.html

I appreciate your enthusiasm, but the history of ML shows that your approach is less likely to work. Maybe you’ll be the one to prove everyone else wrong. Architectural breakthroughs are few and far between, and it’s incredibly difficult to reason about. I came up with the Lion optimizer while Google was using random tree search across 300 TPUs to discover the same thing, and it’s just five lines or so.
Not op, but I agree with him too: it sounds off for no good reason.

It's as if instead of saying "John walked to the park", the editor wrote "John was moved to the park by walking".

And I also find asinine the idea of stripping the sense of agency in someone's last moment, as if it were more respectful. Suicide is a sad, touchy subject no matter how the sentence is constructed anyway.

We need to go to zero and gas furnaces cannot. (Horribly inefficient synthetic fuels excluded.)

In that context current electricity generation does not matter. It‘s an infrastructure change that allows for future zero emissions. Just like EVs.

I've found that drivers vary tremendously in the US. The best average drivers I've been around were in the California Bay Area. Oregon drivers are generally out of it (left lane freeway camping always started the moment I crossed from CA into OR), and only moderately angry. Arizona had wildly incompetent "snow birds" in the winter and insanely aggressive road raging locals in the summer. I've heard that Boston and New Jersey are like Mad Max with potholes.

It's counterintuitive, but broad and straight roads are often more dangerous, as they invite faster driving.
Re type annotations, is there some non-default setting or plugin I am overlooking?

As a long time pycharm user who recently switched to vscode, I have found pycharm's understanding of type annotations to be borderline broken.

def foo(value: Optional[str]) -> None:
print(value.replace("bar", "baz"))

mypy and vscode both point out this will fail when value is None, but my pycharm seems to think this is perfectly fine.

It's like they filmed it with no light source and figured they could fix it post production (and failed).
Either that they filmed it in a bright setting and tried to use post production to simulate a dark scene.
Same as you, I couldn't see what was happening.

It's not about low performers, but workers who complain about mistreatment. There is usually nothing preventing unionized companies for offering higher pay for high performers, but sometimes they use the union agreements (which ask for wage adjustments well below inflation the inflation rate at the moment) as an excuse not to offer higher wages.

A game company might not like unions because it would harder to retaliate against workers protesting against illegal "crunch" time. Just an example.
No, electricity is versatile, you can just make electricity into heat on that day when it's too cold for your heat pump. Resistive heating is not exciting > 100% efficiency technology, but it works and if you live somewhere that realistically gets too cold to run the heat pump that's what you add, not a whole gas burning system.
Another one of these articles written by someone who seems to live in a completely different reality than most people.
The NYT has revenues of 2.1 billion. I’m sure they have a marketing budget and probably already spending money on Twitter to get traffic. This isn’t something strange.

Facebook did they same thing btw, just more gradual. For years they changed the algorithm slowly to take away reach from Pages only to offer it back as long as you paid.
Wine has some Windows backend support (partly because of ReactOS), I wouldn’t be surprised if one day Valve make Proton run old games that are no longer supported on Windows.
I really used to enjoy reading lifehacker in years gone past. When Kinja happened, and then gawker imploded I gave up completely as by that point the articles had taken a turn for the worse.

I hope this offers the site a new start and they can do longer form articles now
I don't really agree. If a person has the skills to solve a companies problems then that should be everything required. Why do you expect people to have to jump through hoops to fake enthusiasm? The reality is software engineers have a million ideas they would rather be working on than a day job. Most people don't work jobs because they want to. They do it to earn a pay check to pay bills. If someone can do high quality relevant work that's all that should be needed.
I thought about the new Octopath but I thought if I was really going to invest time in an RPG why not go full final fantasy / chrono tiger / etc. It feels like the different characters is a bit of a gimmick, at least in the first one.

I think there was a story about a mainframe salesman who at demonstration time with the customer started the usual demo program. The perspective customer then suggested to leave for lunch and come back when the machine had finished—but then the printer already started to churn out pages, after just a few seconds. Turned out the new compiler was smarter than the old one and had simply erased all the inconsequential computations of the demo code which made it look like magic.

Apocryphal, from memory, many details probably wrong.
This sounds sketchy and unprofessional. I'm surprised you said yes to that many interviews...
You can never rely on a storage medium being perfect, so you must always plan for redundancy (e.g. ZFS, off-site backups).

When you have that, cheaping out on storage doesn’t matter so much anymore.

Might it be because the surrounding air only has so much heat in it?

Thus, smaller units, more spread out, have access to more heat?
> The classical three [circuit elements] are known as the resistor, capacitor and inductor.

Yep. I've been following recruiter groups on LinkedIn, there are a number of prompts circulating for that purpose.
Guess what, I just saw one of those idiots from the bronzeworking tribe with a BENT sword. Imagine using weapons with blades that can get bent.
I find I just automatically disengage when it's a "lots of scary/violent sounds and unidentifiable people committing violent acts against other unidentifiable people" scene and I feel like I'm somehow expected to be keeping track of who's hitting who and who's got the upper hand. I end up in this "ok, it's an indecipherable skirmish, can we just skip to what the results are" attitude.
What's awesome is we can now watch interdimensional cable through text-to-video too :P
The author didn't question the artistic aspect. He says:

> It’s a purely stylistic choice, employed for that one moment to cast doubt on Billy’s trustworthiness in the audience’s mind. It’s an extremely stagey choice that fits neatly within the larger series’ heightened, melodramatic style. Scream wouldn’t really be Scream without it.

It doesn't mean that he's ignorant of the aspect that a camera looks differently than our eyes do, as you wrote above. The scene is not bright because of this fact. It's bright for artistic reasons, and you could describe it as overcompensation, since it wouldn't even have to be that bright to deliver a facial expression.
I think this is a great idea and a beautiful execution on the landing page.

My feedback would be to show a lot more of the communities that you have, pre-sign up. There are a lot of people already hanging around in Discords or forums, and to try your product they'll need to see there's a potential upside.

So, letting me browse without being logged in what communities and how many people interacting in it would be a better way to entice people to sign up.

Good luck!

That’s pretty common in Japan, from what I’ve heard. Cultural upbringing is hard to distance yourself from.
depends on what you think you know and what you want to learn. murphy focuses on a bayesian perspective, which is more useful from a theoretical pow. other books take a frequentist perspective, which is the dominant view in practice, unless you are using something like stan. think of it like theoretical vs experimental physics
When I was a kid you could buy these monthly warez CDs full of games and professional software.

The gang producing them got so overwhelmed with burning CDs in their basement, that they went to a factory in Germany.

Police looked at the serial number on the CD, went to the factory and asked who the customer was and that's how they got busted.

That last paragraph... why should employers go from being a health insurance broker to a child care broker?
Use-cases differ even for storage, and cost is sometimes a competitive advantage in low-value products. While high-end SSD include onboard super-capacitors to keep the hardware stable during power-failures, larger drive ram buffers with fetch prediction, and sector sparing with wear leveling.

If your stack uses anything dependent on classic transactional integrity, than the long term hidden IT costs of cheap ssd failures don't make sense.

The beauty of linux is that you can use any or all.
The difference is that in the UK if your kid is sick (article mentions that it is mainly young people dying early) then you can go get your kid seen for free, and not fear about the potential bankruptcy.

My personal recent experience with two young kids in the UK in London is that urgent care is very good. So like emergency see-someone-right-now care like sudden fevers, unexplained rashes, injuries etc. You get seen and usually quite quickly (at least for triage). My daughter was 10 weeks old in mid-2022 when she got an infection and we went to A&E (i.e. ER) and were triaged, IV'd with antibiotics, and settled into a single room (with ensuite and space for parents to sleep too) within 2 hours, then stayed for 48 hours with observation from nurses every 4 hours. Someone even offered us tea and coffee and breakfast. All for free. That is pretty good I think.

But the issue with the NHS in my opinion is the doctor/GPs. It is very difficult to get an appointment for non-urgent stuff. You have to explain to a receptionist why you need an appointment and often it is an untrained receptionist deciding if you get to see a doctor or not. If you do manage to convince the receptionist, then you are often facing a 2 or 3 week wait for the appointment, which may get cancelled or if you are lucky only be late by 2.5 hours. At our physical doctors building there are three separate clinics all duplicating the same service - there are 3 separate receptionists doing their own separate clinic and work betide you if you go to the wrong desk!

Of course as the GPs are so useless, everyone goes to the hospital to try to get seen.
