> C is not aligned with modern hardware and optimizing compilers are severely hampered by things like undeclared pointer aliasing.

Which language is?

I mean, if you're going to parrot this line, surely you have an example of a language that is more closely aligned to hardware than C, right?

I see this line repeated in every HN thread about C. It's not a new sentiment, but it is mostly wrong because the implication is that there exists some other popular language that actually aligns with the hardware better than C does.

I personally have 519 in the last 30 days just on my work PC. I search way more at home, so I'd estimate that I do at least 1000 per month in total. And this is not counting the searches I do on my phone either.
I'm not 50+, but I'm nearly 35. The only new games that I've managed to play through in the last 10 years are Super Mario Odyssey, BotW, GTA V, Diablo 3, and Mario Kart 8.

Most games lose me within the first 10 minutes. I don't know why but any game that tries to be "cinematic" or has complex controls just loses me immediately. I tried the Witcher but I just couldn't sit through all that dialog.

I understand that people want their games to be cinematic, but there should be a market for games where I can just jump in, have 30 minutes of fun by myself, and log off. I don't want to be immersed in another world. I don't want storytelling.

I just want to have an hour of fun.
> Carrying a generator seems very practical to me if you are putting yourself in situations where it could be not just useful but the difference between you being stranded vs self-sufficient.

Charging an EV from a portable generator is going to take 8-12+ hours. So now you need to carry enough extra fuel for the generator to run that long.

You can also find it online, but be sure to find the audio files also. They are essential. Each of the 100+ lessons are like this: After rereading the lesson text with the notes until you can read it without assistance - you then listen to the audio until you can understand the audio without reading the text, then you say it out loud until you can say it at the same speed as the audio without difficulty. So half of the course length involves the audio.

Agree with the observation, there is no such thing as apolitical.

At best, "just leaving the politics out of it" is a sigh attempt to depolarize a discussion that it is about the explode. "Let's not go there" — as in accepting the futility of trying to come to some sort of consensus even though that's what we really would want.

They are aware. The thing about the "stochastic parrot" argument is that it can be pushed as far as one is willing to push it; any behavior by an LLM can be described in those terms with enough handwaving.

The practical limit seems to be where one would have to say that humans are also "stochastic parrots", presumably because that defeats the point of making such an argument in the first place.
The plan9 ecosystem is amazing. It's a pity we work with much older abstractions - although they still didn't consider security to be an issue and I can't comprehend how we'd jerry rig it to work without trusting anything.
If you want the same car to run 100 miles on battery and have the option to fuel it with synfuels you need to lug around useless drivetrain most days. The better option is to just rent a car with sufficient range for the long trip you want to make.

Or build public transit for the commute and don't use a car at all.
You're right, and the wider point is that one should always maximize their own utility/happiness function.

You should be really careful with asking this kind of question to ChatGPT, because now you think you've learned the answer, but in fact there are two options with very different outcome:

- ChatGPT was trained on a corpus of data containing the answer and is able to give you a decent answer

- ChatGPT was never exposed to the answer and will hallucinate a plausible-sounding response, and because it will answer in a really convincing way, you'll get tricked into believing complete bullshit
Since the battery is one of the biggest expenses to replace when it no longer holds charge, the economics of it would be tricky. Nobody would want to swap their good battery that they've carefully looked after for one that holds much less charge. Not to say that it's not possible to solve, but it's not so straight forward.

Also, I've used lots of chargers greater than 100 kw, and they really don't take that long to charge a car. Combine it with a meal, even a fast food meal and they've generally charged more than I needed in that time anyway.

Fast charging is an outlier anyway. >90% of the time you slow charge at home for a third of the price per mile, and it's lovely to only need to visit a filling station on rare long drives.

I sympathize with your point, but it depends.

Entschuldigung, what time is it? Is that valid English?

Auteur, oeuvre, etc. are now English terms, but Remmidemmi?

My take is it is a gradient, and at some point you would be speaking broken English. Far from, mix words and it will be _perfectly_ valid English.

I believe your assertion is more of a rhetorical tool to make a point, and I agree with that point, though.
I agree with the anxiety, that's also something I hate with clouds (AWS and similar). Though for Kagi it's counting my searches, so it's not like a bot on the other side of the world will raise my bill.

For all of those, I would like to be able to set an upper limit. Like "cut my service for the rest of the month if it costs more than X".

Wow. Thank you for posting those links. I just watched those two videos in their entirety, which Roblox wishes were taken down.

They raise MUCH BIGGER issues than "intentionally blocking Linux with Wine", which is actually a GOOD thing insofar as it helps protect Linux users from being exploited.

It would be even better for society if Roblox blocked all Windows and Mac users.
Same with people. Tone of voice and nonverbal communication in general is highly context dependent and usually carries more meaning than actual words.
An important skill is to differentiate when it's absolutely worth planing ahead. Sometimes what would have been a simple change at the beginning becomes a risky refactoring in the future. Other times starting simple and change it later is just right.
Pomodoro solves a lot of that. Set an automatic timer that tell you every X minutes to take a short break. Stand up, blink, move around a bit. Maybe do a few pull ups. The idea is to reduce procrastination by working in bursts but I reckon the pauses are just as important for office workers.
So many unnecessary conflicts/dramas can be avoided by simple and honest communication.

Communication isn't enough. If neither side is willing to compromise then knowing what everyone is thinking doesn't help, and often makes things worse. There has to be a culture of openness and willingness to change in order to avoid drama.

It isn't, unless you consider SPARC the future. SPARC had an interesting register architecture, where making a function call would renumber registers 9-16 to 1-8, and give the function a fresh set of 9-16; IIRC most SPARC CPUs had 128 or so registers total, with this "sliding window" that went up and down as you called and returned, which essentially gave you something like a stack.

The rest of the world's CPUs have normal registers, which is one aspect of what makes register-based VM bytecode easier to JIT to the target architecture, which was one of Dis' original design goals (with an interpreter being a fallback). It also happens that we know a lot more about actually optimising register-based instructions (rather than stack-based), so even if you had to fall back on an interpreter, the bytecode could've gone thru an actual proper optimisation pass.

I like the author's intention and totally agree in building an as simple as possible solution which solves the problem and evolve from there.
This is not a discussion about writing robust and good quality code, for example do we need interfaces or other abstractios in the code, imho. The topic is more about
- do we need a micro service architecture in the beginning
- do we need k8s
- do we need to optimize in ms ranges to serve thousands of concurrent user?

> However it’s very opinionated and ignores several things I like to have control over (and have needed to use in the past) and most importantly I want to be able to compile my own python binary and pyenv makes it pretty painless.

For what it's worth I do agree with this, and in fact before I published this to GitHub, rye was capable of doing that. I somewhat intentionally stripped it down a bit to better explain and showcase what I wish that experience looked like.

In an ideal world, we would not have to use custom Python installations because a tool like rye could automatically fetch it. However there are always cases where you need (eg: local python builds for development etc.) so I will definitely want to bring this back.

The reason I never put this on GitHub is really that I do not want to build the next thing that just splits the ecosystem apart. But as of recent, there have been some developments that make me somewhat optimistic that there is a chance, Python packaging could be fixed once and for all, and this is supposed to be a bit of a teaser of what could be.
I've been keeping a directory of screenshots of poor DDG results for the past couple years and there have been many conspicuously broken results. It's a damn shame since 2+ years ago DDG was better.

Some examples:

- Double quoted strings ignored, continuing to return results without the quoted string.

- Adding the exclusion parameter doing nothing, continuing to return results with the string.

- Various queries return non-legit sites in the majority top 10 results or more—sometimes being all results. By non-legit, meaning: these are randomized named domains that have scraped other sites' content or are doing word salad query matching. Example query from December last year: `google "oauth" "api" "thunderbird"` returned all non-legit sites.

- Using `site:` parameter to restrict a query to specific site can return fewer results for that domain (eg: two results vs dozens) than just searching for the site name and query without the `site:` parameter.

- Using `site:` parameter to limit to TLD only sometimes returns only single result or nothing despite knowing there are domains that contain the query. Eg: last year when searching `opnsense site:.se` there should have been tons of results from teklager.se but there were none (I have the screenshots), but searching `opnsense site:teklager.se` returned results.

In the most egregious cases that I've documented I submit feedback but it always seemed like a hopeless cause the worse the results became.
Oddly, it's not that different from other commission/finder's-fee systems.

(It's also not totally different from the "commission" many governments collect via sales taxes: "everything happening within our nexus owes us 5-10% of the total spend".)

If in fact the ultimate spender is reasonably confident that their actual spend decisions fit their values, but they generally aren't finding enough things to spend on, it could even make sense! But of course if the spend-decisions are unhinged/reckless, then this system makes them 10% more wasteful.
You're right that there are lots of elaborate and expensive sets, but the basics are still available.

E.g. you can still buy loose bricks from LEGO, so can make it as simple as you like. If you want basic stuff packaged up, the LEGO Classic line has sets starting very small that consists of a batch of bricks and a small set of themed special parts. On the UK site at least they also have more than 500 sets under 20 GBP/25 USD (you can search by price) including a number under 10 GBP / $12, but the majority of these sets will be full of special parts simply because there's little point in packaging up the same small selection of basic bricks in umpteen different sets.

Overall, the price per piece of LEGO varies greatly by set (average per category of set varies from less than 20 cents to nearly 2 dollars per piece) because of different weighting of types of pieces, but the inflation adjusted cost of the basic/cheapest pieces have remained consistently stable [1]

They cite the paper where the architecture was introduced. If you go to that paper, you'll see that it mostly consists of a very detailed and careful comparison with Transformer-XL.

In the new paper, they plug their memory system into vanilla BERT. This makes the resulting model essentially nothing like Transformer-XL, which was a strictly decoder-only generative language model.
> how else do you think malicious PDD app got on their phones?

The malicious PDD app is really, actually, published to the alt stores by PDD Holdings itself. It loads the exploit config and post exploitation modules from PDD's own CDN.

It's not the same repackage-with-malware shit plaguing China/SEA market since forever. It's first party.

And the Google Play version contains the same exploit delivery codes, though no real evidence that it was activated.
Was your mother a late bilingual? From this paper [1], we know that for late bilinguals, regions for each language are spatially separated in Broca's area. Broca's area is responsible for speaking, while language understanding is attributed to Wernicke's area*. It's possible that the stroke affected only the part of the Broca's region responsible for English speaking. And since language understanding is handled by another region, it wasn't affected.

*For completeness, according to current neurolinguistic models it's more complex than that, more brain regions are actually responsible for speech/understanding.

I can tell you for certain that I use Roman numerals on the copyright dates of the videos I make, because I grew up with Roman numeral copyright dates on the TV programmes I grew up watching - even children's programming had it.

For some reason the one that sticks in my mind is the Blue Peter one with a copyright symbol, the old "three boxes" BBC logo, date in Roman numerals and the little stylised sailing ship logo :-)

Anyway, long story short, I use Roman numerals for copyright dates because fancy like.
I would think that the cognitive load is there because you are speaking a foreign language (whether one or many). I don't think it's debatable that speaking a foreign language day in day out with no one to speak your native language can wear you out.
> if bilingualism is talking to your parents in kitchen Spanish without actually traveling anywhere, rather than learning the language of a culture that's alien to you so that you can spend an extended period of time there, is that just as enriching? Does an anglophone Canadian who learns French really expand their worldview that much?

Yes
You can do that with Kagi, there is both a soft limit and hard limit you can set. Although we would like to go towards the future with no limits as soon as economics allow it.
Anecdotally from people I know, I know three permanently mentally impaired from psychedelics and no one especially mucked up from other drugs/alcohol. They all took a lot of LSD like more than weekly for more than a year and mixed it with other drugs so it's hard to be definite about what did what but they had similar symptoms - delusions and lack of contact with reality. One went mental hospital nuts, one killed himself, the third I'm not sure. I'd avoid long term use.
Could be organizational, like there's a transport strike so you create a Google sheet based carpooling system that you share with colleagues coupled with a facebook page where each person that goes to the station shares up to date info and you involve your grandma that happens to own a van in the process.

Look for BlaBlaCar history it's basically that, carpooling is specifically popular in France.
You've probably invested thousand of hours in learning all of those languages. Some just by circumstance/luck (maybe something like this? mom speaking 1 language, dad speaking another, both speaking a common language, the place you were in having another secondary language), some through your own efforts.

As always, the real question we can't really test is: what could you have done with probably literal person-years of study/research/leisure time, instead?
I guess most flowers that people will put into their garden are those pollinated by, let's call them "bee-like pollinators", that are attracted to sweet-smelling and/or colorful flowers (although some, like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddleja_davidii, have a preference for butterflies) . For instance, if you would plant one of these https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amorphophallus_titanum (that are pollinated by flies and carrion-eating beetles, and smell really yummy to them, but less so to us humans), your neighbors would probably complain...
Yeah, what is being stored that is available between inferences?
> This article reads like US propaganda.

Indeed, the real number should be higher.
You have probably fallen in to the trap of believing that every developer is the same, and that all of them can thrive in every team. That is absolutely not the case. A superstar on a team where they're doing work they want to do, that they find interesting, and that suits their skillset won't be a superstar somewhere else where some part of that equation isn't working.

Talk to them and figure out what's different between your team and their previous team. You might be able to change things to get more from them. If not, let them move on to another team where they can be better.
"Can you give an example of any significant scale of fully automatically published blog posts from 10 years ago?"

For some reasons I never bookmarked those sites, when I left them in a rage and disgusted about so much information garbage. So it definitely has become way worse, but also 10 years ago I remember that pattern. Most often when looking for alternatives of software, then you were always a click away of being on a nonsense site, automatically filled with all the relevant keywords and lots of things to accidently click on, but nothing useful. Some of it might have been manual edited, but for the most part, I could allmost see the algorithms that filled those sites up with "content". There were just really primitive - so things will get interesting when this will gets combined with LLMs big scale.
what makes you personally believe it seems like that?
If the infrastructure in the US gave less space to cars, cars would be forced to stay relatively small. If we in Europe also had huge roads everywhere, no pavements, no cycle paths etc, we'd also have much larger cars.

Create more small, local neighbourhoods with everything needed in them. Make sure everyone has a grocery store, a school, a doctor's office, and green space like a park within walking distance.

An observational study with controls chosen at the whim of the PI is not the same as an RCT. Presumably you could implement different controls and observe the opposite conclusion. What scientists end up doing will be driven by the incentive to publish something novel, rather than a genuine search for truth.
This. I know it has very little scientific merit, but Roger Penrose's argument that "consciousness is quantum" always rang that bell to me, the thought (or a solution to a problem) comes to me always entirely at once, not one word at a time.
