Yes, having to remove the adware is obnoxious but anything you use nowadays needs to be sanitized for kids and that includes Ipads. I'm just glad there are some built in ways to do that.
Can we say the same thing about gold? It has no value and almost no use (it can be replaced by any similar looking metal for use in jewelry), but is very expensive and people are more than willing to buy it. Banks set high commissions for operations with it and governments impose high taxes.

Switched over ~10 years ago. Was rough then -- pretty dang easy now.

Fedora 36 is pretty smooth. Only issue was a nvidia driver update a couple of years ago, but was easy enough to unwind. Otherwise no issues.

It's like that Neil Stephenson passage where he compares BeOS to the Batmobile, MacOS to a Lexus, Windows to a station wagon, and Linux to a tank, with the problem being that people are scared to learn how to drive a tank -- even though it's free.
The fact that there's a major land war in Ukraine, which the US did not start and had no power to prevent, has come at a huge cost. This is true. Given that Ukraine patently was not just going to roll over, and even if the US hadn't supported them, much of Europe absolutely would. I think it's petty plain the war would still be raging fiercely anyway. Most likely Russia would be on the skirts of or in Kyiv and Odessa by now, with a horrible bloody partisan conflict reminiscent of Vietnam or Afghanistan, or a massively scaled up version of the Chechnya war raging throughout the country.

Do you relish the prospect of Russian troops on the borders of Poland, Slovakia, Hungary and Romania? I don't.

Meanwhile US relations with Europe would be at the lowest level since WW2, it would be seen as an utter abandonment and betrayal of our shared values, including US treaty guarantees on the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine. America's allies across the world would know for a fact the US could not be relied upon to support them. Russia would know this. Taiwan would know this. China and North Korea would know this.

They would also realise that this situation might only last as long as the current administration. There are some in the world that would see this as a golden opportunity.
Electricity is pretty close to universal in the US (outside of summer cabins and the like) and traditional telephone service was pretty close behind. But beyond that water, sewer, natural gas, and internet are all case by case once you get out of metros. 50 miles outside of a large US city, I still have a septic system.
Is it idiosyncratic to assume that two variants of the canvas API support the same things?
Well it's context-dependent, but there are many different strategies.

Most well designed command-line programs output to STDERR if they have an error, and STDOUT if they don't. So the simplest possible method is just to see if STDOUT was 0-length or not. If it's not 0-length, then assume the command completed successfully. grep can help validate the output. Depending on the command, it may resist partial failures; for example, many commands that output a JSON blob will wait until they have all their data before outputting the blob.

If the script you're writing depends on always working 100%, then you can do a lot more work to check for errors. First you would enable set +e, because if you exit on error with pipefail, you can't even check what the error was from PIPE_STATUS. Instead you can inspect every pipe result and tell your user what part failed, and decide if you should continue, print only potentially partial results, retry the operation, or fail immediately.

Most programmers don't handle error conditions properly and just immediately fail on any error, which itself causes errors which needs a human to inspect a log. Worst case, the shell script without pipefail just keeps working, when with pipefail it would have failed a lot.
I agree with you kind of, because Opioids and methylphenidates are a world apart when it comes to addiction outcomes. But ADHD meds are ruining peoples lives.

> Basic, foundational theological or philosophical questions like "can a mind know a truth?" shouldn't be swept under the rug. They're more foundational than questions like "what caused the big bang?"

I think whether they are foundational or not is irrelevant. What matters is the effect pondering questions like these can have on people. Both kinds can have material consequences - theological/philosopical questioning can affect social behaviours and have wide-ranging societal effects, empirical questioning can result in new technologies which can do the same

Ahh, that's your problem right there, man. Apple don't change for you, for me, or for anyone who isn't called Tim Cook. They'll be out there doing their monopolistic, zero-sum, winner-takes-all, my-way-or-the-highway, straight-outta-the-'90s thing, forever and ever.

Apple doesn't care about developers really, as far as the company is concerned they're all little sharecroppers on Steve's garden. Any help you get you should be thankful for, because you have no rights there and never will have. Enjoy your Stockholm syndrome while it lasts.
>The balloon had a self-destruct mechanism that could have been activated remotely by China,

There are so few photos of the tank man, so I highly doubt if AI can understand this concept as well as it understands "Xi Jinping".
I don't agree with the argument that high-speed bandwidth is more available. The mean may be going up but from what I've experienced, and deployed is that places that already have good internet are getting faster links while little progress is being made in areas with slow or no-internet accessibility.
I'm not asking for Apple to reduce prices - that's their prerogative.

I'm simply pointing out the absurdy of the pricing in context of this news story about falling sales.
Not sure how to put it: if you built a model and simulation that has proven something that claims a certain approach might work - but fail to include a realistic plan of execution and “real life” into it: it’s not worth anything and “science” is abused for ideology “look the numbers show it will work”.

Well, today it doesn’t and tomorrow it won’t either.

I’ve seen my fair share of “objective projects/engagements where the wanted outcome was communicated very clearly” by German government bodies.

I love the idea of decentralised and local energy generation; energy efficient housing/living. I spent $$$ on it.

But Germany has an industry that is so hungry for a constant supply of electricity that I see no realistic viable path in renewables for that. People like you have claimed for two decades there is - yet, here we are: running coal full steam at night.

Idealists like you destroy our planet.

Which seems like crazy pricing...

They should have simply released a "premium speed" upgrade for $50, which boosts your speeds and reliability for a while. In congested areas, with heavy use, it might last only a few days. In rural areas it might last months.

Then have a checkbox to auto-renew the premium speed when it runs out.

And say on the purchase page "Given your location and recent usage, we expect the premium speed boost will last about X hours/days/months".
That's what I was thinking. There must be some temporary advantage to this.
That changes exactly nothing about the validity of my statement.

Yes, GPT-4 is better at this mimicry than GPT-3 or GPT-3.5. And GPT-3 was better at it than GPT-2. And all of them were better than my out-of-fun home-built Language Model projects that I trained on small <10GiB Datasets, which in turn were better at it than my Poc models
trained on just a few thousand words.

But being better at mimicking reason, is still not reasoning. The model doesn't know what a coffeemug is, and it doesn't know what a football is. It also has no idea how elevators work. It can form sequences that make it look to us that it does and knows all these things, but in reality, it only knows that "then Jenny would have left first" is a more likely sequence of tokens at that point, given that the sequence before included "started at the 10th floor".

Bear in mind, this doesn't mean that this mimicry isn't useful. It is, tremendously so. I don't care how I get correct answers, I only care that I do.
There is no alternative. Good that media doesn't report it because there's nothing to report. The dollar is not going away anytime soon.

A good comparison I got from twitter is Amazon credit. If you get $50, yeah it's fine, you'll spend it. If you get $5000 of it, you'll look very, very closely into all options to get your dollars back.

I'm actually making an effort for my daughter to have a Linux desktop as her first exposure to computing, outside of say, a Nintendo Switch.

I'm not trying to push my hobbies on her, but I want her to learn technology in an environment free of the ads and other garbage that come with Windows and (to a lesser extent) macOS. I want her to learn what the computer is doing and not treat it like magic.

I'm terrified by iPads, I don't want her to think that consumption and pay-to-win games are all thats out there.
I had no problems like this with my installation. It's just that some people don't even know about bootable USB sticks - this level of "non-technical".

how are people supposed to react to this ? Those are two reasons why legal providers make life so difficult for innocent people. The response will be to enable more intrusive record keeping and more very-low bandwidth for me, because of you.
I've not considered this before but I wonder how much insurance costs modify behaviour, and how much in a positive way.

The most important in the UK is third party (insuring against damage and injury caused to others). Does high insurance help avoid those outcomes? If not that feels like a good government level solution. Insuring your own property is your own business.
I don't know about decades, but my son is still using my 2011 Macbook Air. It's had two battery replacements and an SSD upgrade.

My issue is less about the hardware and more about the OS upgrades.
I do not think you are wrong. It was a joint declaration, but from what I vaguely remember, the idea came from Europe and everyone understood it to be a great PR value with no technical pull. My 2c.
I don't understand? The US can disrupt food/oil/financial markets/innovation more than any other planet on earth. All of these can be flexed peacefully
Produced, no, but designed, programmed, and marketed, yes. And Apple's profits compete with other US companies, so it's products need to be profitable at the current very strong US dollar valuation.
No, they aren't. They are models, which among other resolutions also offer these options. E.g. the first one on your list offers 3840x2400 or 1920x1200 screens.

That would be a tragic mistake for everyone involved. People like being in on the joke when John Cena, a grown man costumed in neon green, runs around the square stage whilst pretending to be invisible. It would ruin the fun if his opponent unceremoniously dropkicked him in the solar plexus.
That's an excellent point. AM has more access to locals and that is important.

Sharing a helmet comes with its own set of hygene issues. I believe most of the EU cycling helmet laws are okay because they make it optional and the rider decides to wear one or not. If we'd adopt similar rules for e-scooters, limiting their speed to 25 km/h (like e-bikes) and their weight to 20 kg or so, it would be possible to ride them on bike lanes. That and designated parking spots for rental, just as the Budapest city council did. Rental e-scooters that are not parked in those spots are picked up and treated like lost objects. I'm quite sure that the rental companies have to pay a fine to recover them or have their license suspended otherwise (= banned from operating the service).

Also, e-scooters are banned from riding on sidewalks just about everywhere. That doesn't necessarily mean the rule is enforced or that collisions with pedestrians don't happen. I've almost been hit while riding a bike by an e-scooter operated by an underage child (in violation of the terms of service) that darted from an alley without right of way.

But I generally agree that it's a regulation issue and outright banning rental scooters is rather extreme. Paris did it with public consultation, so the city coulcil has their backs covered.

It seems you can't really handle OP being right and have resorted to what-about-ism.

So it seems you have conceded the argument and agree that Russia is mindlessly belligerent and now are saying that's fine because you think x-y-z are also belligerent? (Wrong but eh, not the subject of discussion).
On other hand. Not getting involved in others' conflicts might go well down in Africa for example.
That’s true. I just meant the quests and borrowed language from the parent.
My father doesn’t learn UIs, he memorized steps to complete tasks. I guarantee this is how many elderly people operate. If a button’s position changes slightly, if there’s an added pop up or prompt before something he’s used to seeing, it causes frustration and there’s a non-zero chance that he’ll click randomly to make it disappear. So, yes, changing UIs will make pops go mad.
Eh this has happened before on HN. I remember when it was "with Ruby" or "with Go".

It's a shame how the market for PC's worked out.

If I want a premium car there are a ton of brands I can choose from. Don't want a BMW then go for a Lexus instead, or an Audi or Jaguar and so on. If I want a premium PC then it's Apple or I can grit my teeth and go for a Lenovo with all the Microsoft crapware installed.

My gut feeling is Sony, HP and all the others gave up too early and allowed WinTel to dominate. We have been paying the price ever since.
Ask HN: How are you planning for a post-knowledge-work world?
I struggle to see how the majority of digital knowledge-work jobs will survive the continued progress AI over the next several years.

Even if you believe there's a chance not all digital knowledge-work jobs (coders, graphic designers, copy writers, etc) will go away, there's a good enough chance of this happening that you should probably still prepare just in case – especially if you have dependants.

Just wondering what preparations people here are making? Ideally I'm looking for career ideas for an ex-coder who's never done anything but IT work.
Spot on. Broadly speaking, if you want peace you have to prepare for war. If you don’t distribute and democratize power, those who typically control it in concentrated form will weaponize and wield it (power tends to corrupt, absolute power corrupts absolutely and all that jazz).

You may not feel the need to construct a strong defense because of your disposition and mental model, but you should because of the motivations and mental models of those building a strong offense.

A take as old as time. History books are always written by the victors.
Agreed. Russia and China have alienated every one of their neighbors by invading them, trying to take them over economically, and other bs. The US is the global hegemon mainly because of fear of Russia/China, which is not going to go away short of regime change imo.
>I don't know why they wouldn't be able to install it themselves, tbh.

putting the ISO on the USB, telling the BIOS to boot from the USB, dealing with any random failures in grub or whatever, these are showstoppers for nontechnical people.

(actually the grub failures are a showstopper for me as well, I've never been able to figure out what you're meant to do if you boot up and get an error at that stage. I just re-roll with a different USB drive or distro or ISO-burning tool and cross my fingers)

also nontechnical ppl often will only dare use linux if they have windows as a fallback option, so they want to dual-boot. and setting up / maintaining a dual-boot system has its own set of failure modes.

EDIT: the dumbest one I ran into was when I just couldn't figure out how to get into the BIOS. there wasn't any splash screen like you usually get where it says "press F{n}" (and why the fuck isn't that standardized anyway?).

eventually I figured out it was because the monitor wasn't turning on quick enough to show the motherboard splash screen, so the system had already started the windows boot process by the time I got to see anything. I had to look up the right key for the motherboard online, and then press it blindly the next time I booted.

EDIT: also doing this kind of stuff assumes you have another machine handy. you can use it as a "lifeboat" for your files, you can use it to burn USBs, look up documentation and so on. technical people tend to have a bunch of old machines lying around they can use in a pinch. but nontechnical people tend to only have one desktop/laptop. if they have anything else it's probably a phone or a tablet. if you only have one machine and you screw something up so you can't even boot, you're stuck in a catch-22. and then you need to take it to a PC repair place, and they'll just reinstall windows for you.
