Here's the Arch Wiki, but since this depends on systemd, it should be universal. The man page of systemd-cryptenroll is actually quite helpful.

We still have surprisingly widespread belief in outdated ideas like young earth creationism or a literally flat Earth. Evolution is rejected by broad swathes of the American population despite even the Catholic church having incorporated it into its mythology. I think if anything the backlash is a constant, true believers have no problem already living in a parallel reality that denies our own.
Ah, famous Korolev who single-handedly built all Soviet rockets along with Baikonur cosmodrome.

Come on, give something better.
:)

Reading my comment after a good nights sleep, it might seem slight snappish and/or brusque, that wasn't my intention and I'm sorry if that's the case.

I'm glad you shared it, thank you!
Theoretically someone could perhaps one day discover the theoretically optimal GC algorithm, and someone else could write the TeX of GCs using that algorithm, and then perhaps we'd have the final GC.

Extremely unlikely that such an algorithm exists of course, and even if it did, looking at sorting will quickly suggests that improvements will keep being found even if the best asymptotic complexity had been achieved.
At the start of the pandemic I bought a decently specced gaming PC.

I haven't played a single AAA game since then. Only indies :)

Indies are on a roll, there's one for any genre and gameplay style.
> "If the tone of Twitter is a twee leftism"

US democratic party establishment loyalism is not "leftism".
I disagree with the later point, as unlike camera sensors the cells in question already include trainable parameters for every single one of 100M+ inputs.

But it matters little as even with 100x reduction the estimate blows GPT out of the water in the first year, making it very sample inefficient in comparison.

As for signal I am a layman in its most extreme here (only mist-like idea about information theory and frequency relationship), but don't the bandwidth limits only apply to fixed rate measurements? E.g. there's basically infinite (sans plank limits) number of values between 4ms and 5ms and as long as the receiver can separate them, they can encode information?

To put it in other words, if the neurons can control the impulse peak delay down to a nanosecond, then shouldn't the limit be measured based on 10^9Hz of that control vs 250Hz of max firing rate?
I guess this is only of tangential relevance to the post, but Ctrl+n (which should work the same as arrow down) has been broken in Spotlight as of macOS Ventura.

The fact that this completely standard binding has been broken in a crucial macOS app for 5 months basically tells me that Apple does not care about the "Emacs-style" shortcuts in macOS.
A system with a bad architecture is way worse than a system with "no" architecture.
as an accessory to make PCs more accessible this might be a revolutionizing device for people with disabilities - what a time to be alive!
Your employer couldn't care less about your costs of living. He is a buyer and will gladly pay exactly zero dollars for your services. Unfortunately for him, that's not something you and your friends will accept. The price is hiked until both parties can live with it.

People in different situations accept different levels of compensation. Cost of living only becomes a significant factor under competitive pressure. If you were the sole programmer for the region you would be paid millions. I'm sure you personally, being an upstanding citizen, would lower your fee to match your costs of living as to maximize your clients' profitability. But you are rare. Most will accept the highest bid.

All I'm saying is that nothing is fundamentally based on "cost" unless under pressure. If it earns you say 500 bucks, you take the 20 dollar hit. It doesn't matter to you if it costs them 1 cent to produce. Until a competitor comes and drops the prices.

Also note that this "value"-thing is complex. Programmers that live close by and are sufficiently adjusted to the culture of the company have more value than cheap, capable, but remote workers that don't "get" you. Rural programmmers are indeed no less capable than devs in major cities, but it never was just about being capable.
Aside from a very subjective "I like Nim to succeed" there is literally no rational reason to pick one over the other (except, maybe the other way around, because Rust has wider adoption).

So communicating that thought as if it was a generally accepted/objective statement on Armin's project isn't going to give you a lot of love.
That is the positive attitude, it always irks me when guest language comunities bash the platform that make their language even possible in first place.

Everything sucks, but then they gladly take the platform, the ecosystem of libraries, debuggers and what not from the host platform.
Brazil has two or three 1200 mile plus HVDC lines in operation

The longest curently runing line is over 2500km, which from Los Angeles would cover the entirety of 17 states as well as cities like Vancouver, Calgary and even Winnipeg
Then you're asking a rhetorical question to be snarky.
> Either is A or B.

Not. Both claims can be true at the same time, so this is not the "us or them/choose one" scenery that you claim. In any case the ambiguity is destroyed when the consequences of choosing one or the other path are mostly insignificant for the whole experience.
> would you play a first person shooter with a controller ?!

I hate gaming sitting at a desk personally.
The sound quality suffers though
Yes there are studies on it. I and others who have tried it can personally vouch for it too. 20+mg per day in the mornings works great.

Many supplements are very powerful, you just have to find trustworthy sources. A lot of the hype in advertising relates to muscle building and weight loss. Even then there are supplements that help with those goals, but you have to be more careful with the claims some companies make.
I feel like everything you said remains true if you remove 50 year old. I.e it’s a truth about the whole gaming market.

Perhaps the issue is just segmenting by age vs device/game type
> I only care about game feeling and mechanics. If there are cutscenes I can't cancel, I'm out in a blink. Hence, I usually play competitive online games (currently a lot of Wild Rift), because they don't come with all that baggage.

I'm in a similar boat but I am 40.

My goto since about 6 to 7 years are roguelikes and fighting games. Those are very accommodating for gameplay-focused games that can be played in short bursts and they are very enjoyable for me at least.
Depends on where they are made. For TV the US Arabic, for the UK Roman
I'd like to see more comments from the target audience, at the moment the comment section is full of abled people who speculate on the needs and experiences of the target audience.
Love the self-consciousness of it all, even having a "Should this exist" with an XKCD that jumped right to my mind as soon as I read the title.

Honestly, as someone who has to periodically jump into Python to do some scraping and data wrangling I dearly hope we land on something that is sane and maintainable in the near future. I'm just so tired of (ana)conda, poetry, pyenv, and even pip itself.
The LLMs are useful tools in their current state, right now. They produce text and images, which you can use freely after generation.

Nothing about their success is predicated on assumptions about the future. There's no risk associated with using an LLM today.
I think this is why advertising will remain the default business model of the mainstream internet and search.

HN might possibly be the wealthiest collection of people on the internet. And if we’re complaining about $10-20/month here, there’s certainly no hope for the mass market.
Hustle culture: Is this the end of rise-and-grind?
Something like that kept happening when I was 8-9 years old. The closest I can explain is with: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alice_in_Wonderland_syndrome . I kept feeling like Gulliver as either in Lilliput land or in giant land. It filled me with dread and I felt that I couldn't talk. When opening my mouth I felt the motions really slow and it took forever to create words.

Rarely, now in my adulthood I start feeling similar but I realize what is happening and I can control how the objects turn big /small.
And now we truly know why GPT insists to say "as an AI model" when we break a rule. It's precisely this. Like a signature, so we find it out in the wild when it's abused.
> There are other forms of intelligence.

It obviously wasn't meant as an exhaustive list.

> Plus, I'm not so sure you are right about those.

I've yet to have my other languages besides English help me
with studying of other concepts unless they were strictly
locally focused. Even my French didn't help in Canada where
it is more used as a means of exclusivity than one of
inclusivity and communications.

> Finally, it might be useful to read what people have written in other languages about those topics.

It might be. But the vast amount of information in English is
such that you'll never exhaust it. I read about France in French
and about Germany in German mostly because I can, not necessarily
because I have to, the same subjects (in the news) are usually
also available in English. And as for texts that are only available
in say Chinese, French or German: I am aware that I will have to
forego anything only available in Chinese because the expected
pay-off from learning Chinese at my age is so low that I will spend
my time in some other way. But if I were much younger I might give
it a go.

But I doubt if it would make me any more intelligent.
You're absolutely right - SIM swapping is a major threat in many parts of the world. If you're a target and the attacker is determined, you could be in serious trouble. However, it's more cost-effective for bad guys to launch phishing campaigns using malicious proxies like Evilginx or Modlishka to target the masses.
Because IQ testing is de facto illegal. Companies would much rather use them instead of proxies with varying degrees of accuracy.
And it is leaving the building. Think of a chimney, most of the hot air leaves the building.
The point is that 90% is not good when the alternative is 99.99%.

For gas stations, 99.99% of the time the pump works. So much so that I don’t even consider that it doesn’t work. That’s the level of reliability that I expect.
Here are my thoughts so far:

so i actually have an app which I’m working on with data-heavy backend, so this touches on a problem that is very close to me.
my pain points:
1. performance (query response times can be a pain and optimizing them takes a lot of time and trial and error)
2. availability (specifically in deployment pipelines)
3. developer experience (i haven't played with it much, but the interface is great)
4. data management (a big one for me - we have lots of data sources and need to make sure to sync them etc.), few good tools for that out there, especially for raw, disorganized data

what i like about it:
1. real time data sync
2. the documentation is FANTASTIC (this is so important for custom APIs and a very rare find)
3. price (not much to say here, 10 dollars is incredible compared to competitors)

what i don't like about it:
1. too few integrations at the moment
Yes, according to the linked diff, that is the only remaining filter.
I'm the same, and it has been working really good for me so far. The only downside is that it's very easy to stay in your bubble of subscriptions and not get broader view from other sources. That's why occasionally I will still just browse the Home Page and pick some random stuff from it.
If it is not doing so already, ask it to comment the code it writes.

Worst case scenario, throw the code back into GPT and ask it to make the changes you want to make.
Oh yeah, it's great that my car has a way to install a saddle on, because if the car breaks I can easily switch back to my horse.

Carriers are the real problem here, not letting you easily switch between a physical SIM and an eSIM in case that happens. Some do, but you usually have to call up, there are delays, etc. Ideally it would be an easy switch in their web admin panel.
Guess: Designer-minded Windows execs were hell-bent on moving to a macOS-like taskbar for years. Height, item count and behaviour is massively different wether you simply have icons or "legacy" long rectangles with text. They successfully persuaded engineering to not have this big UX gap for such a crucial part of the interface so they axed labels. Now after 1.5 years and lackluster adoption they got enough bad feedback to revert this.

Even though I'm happy (this was also a dealbreaker for me, even though you could hack the old taskbar via dll-s) I think this shows how much in a deadlock Windows OS development is. Almost all of the recent changes are surface-level, on one side you have employees disconnected from the core user base, on the other the endless sea of enterprise customers representing a burden for compatibility.
I wonder if it was a technical issue, or an internal UI debate over trying force a more Mac-like look. (Don't Microsoft's UI designers use Macs?)
Sure, make sure you never spend your Bitcoins because it will be more in value tomorrow. If you can buy 1 pizza today, you will be able to buy 10 pizzas next year. If it can buy one house today, it will be able to buy a mansion 5 years down the line. Wow, what a wonderful world it will be where nobody spends on anything because their magical Bitcoins will be worth more in future. What an amazing economy it will be. Nobody will work, everyone will just sit home and watch their Bitcoins go to moon and dream about what all they can purchase with their Bitcoins in future.

What are you planning to buy when a BTC hits a million worthless USD?

It's not an "ideal future".... considering how many countries promised that they'll ban gasoline powered cars by 2035 it's something we should already start building (both the solar side and the chargers).
I verified that it has all required facts (line of succession, current circumstances). I managed to get the right answer when got everything in context, but it failed again when all three abdicate (same context). Prince Harry was indicated once.

I tested GPT a lot in other domains, what I found that as long the information explicitly exists (connection between facts) then the responses are fine. I assume that if GPT will reach the state where it can infer new facts, we will be flooded with discoveries that require cross domain knowledge. Nothing like that happened yet.
Note that the Z Garbage Collector was released in JVM 11 so it’s about 5 years old now.
What would lead humans in the previous "resource abundant" environment to not explode in population, Malthus-style?
Historical accident, due to UNIX winning out the server room.

In early 1980's it was only running Bell Lab's world and a couple of universities that got hold of the source tapes.
Np, it's an easy thing to get wrong. I'm just trying to stop propagation of the wrong information.
Also regulation to automatically limit speed of cars - the biggest low hanging fruit when it comes to safety and quality of life in cities keeps getting delayed and crippled because of car manufacturers want to sell fast cars.
That's backwards. One proof of rice's theorem relies on the fact that, if you could decide any interesting property of programs in general, then you could solve the halting problem; it doesn't follow that, if you could solve the halting problem, then you could decide any interesting property.

It happens to be true that, if you could solve the halting problem, then you could decide any interesting property of programs; but this is simply because the antecedent is false.
You can learn Cantonese for fun, but Mandarin is more useful for business or travel.

> It's the 3rd most spoken language in the US

That's interesting, but why would that influence your decision which language to learn? Almost all the Cantonese speakers in the US probably speak English, and there aren't that many in the grand scheme of things? (Especially compared to total number of Mandarin speakers.)
On a more general note I wonder why everybody is so convinced a paid service will cater to what they want? I can't imagine for my 10$ a month they would implement my bugfix or add that feature I'd love. I'm paying for MS Office or my car as well and boy do I have complaints about them... why would Kagi be any different? The only advantage I can think of is they would be less motivated to search alternative financing - aka advertising. But not even that is a guarantee in the long run...

I also think my recommendations are really good, but I believe it also takes a great deal of care and will.

I make a conscious effort to avoid watching 'dumb' tiktok-ey content as much as possible. Not because I would think watching it from time to time is inherently bad, but because I believe I would be prone to watching more and more of it and it would absolutely flood my recomendations. It's addictive. For this reason I also never watch shorts on my account.

If I really want to watch something from these categories, I do so without being logged in.
Yes, and I can have two sims active at the same time. Physical and eSim or two eSims.
I think most would accept that iOS is more secure than macOS. But to flip the logic the other way around and put as you did is a little disingenuous.
Do you have some operational definitions of those words? Sentience means having conscious feelings and sapience means rational thinking?
Well, he names real names. Gardia (Fox) is a real person (and the Hags were a real SoCal punk rock skateboard gang; see https://bust.com/living/18944-hell-on-wheels.html )

I don’t know if they are still married as is implied to have occurred around y2k but I suppose if one wanted some validation of his claims, she could be reached. After all, he does implicate her in his “dark gray” market doings. Her Twitter account took no effort to find.

I’m not dubious (or perhaps interested) enough to do any digging, but would be interested in learning if someone else does, having found the article an enjoyable read and kinda hoping as I read it that it was all true.
1997! Why hasn't this become mainstream?
I never understood why this law became so important either. what’s so bad of having 2-3 different type of ports? If your senator / deputy has time to spend working on such laws then maybe they need to rethink their career choice.

Nice write up. Enjoyed reading it
I quite literally paid for a third-party app (StartAllBack) to do this for me (amongst other things).
> It's long been stated in popular culture that learning a language increases cognitive ability: improves memory, reasoning, and helps reduce onset of senility etc. This study suggests it isn't.

The study is about "bilingualism", not about "learning". Bilingualism is a passive property, e.g. children born to parents speaking different languages will acquire those languages, but in adulthood no longer be in the process of learning them.

"learning" is an active mental process and those beneficial properties you mention are ascribed to this.
Until Microsoft introduces "Never Combine App Icons" to Windows 11, you can use this little enhancement to do it: https://github.com/valinet/ExplorerPatcher/wiki
I'm curious who makes the decisions... who has final say -- designers or engineering or PMs or execs? (So I'll know who to blame :-)
You can type a command and if the application is missing it will install it on the fly and the command will just work.

I wish Linux distros had this feature as well.
Well there are humans too of which sapience we are not very convinced, so this overlap is gonna be a drag.
It would be interesting to compare the US to the whole of europe.

Switzerland is a homogenous country about 2% the population of the US and with a GDP per capita 50% higher.

You could just as easily compare the Bay Area to the rest of the US, and you’d get the same result.
Why specifically a caring _mother_?

You know what would be even better? If everyone got a pony and a puppy and a million dollars! But that's not really feasible to provide for everyone (at the moment).

Life is all about trade-offs.
> "Just leave the politics out of it" is also a political statement

And since everything is political what they really mean is "leave politics that I don't agree with out of it". COD historical revisionism to put USA in good light is ok but minorities in the games is too much politics?
It‘s interesting to see how rapidly the world, culture and work are changing these days. What feels like yesterday, and in the last decade, the world was different, and to me felt like a world of optimism and potential.

This decade is more about leverage, influence, and perhaps scaling back some of our ambitions and perceptions of “immortality” (due to a war in Europe, etc.). Maybe it is of course because as a European citizen, the war is closer to home and I speak the languages involved in the war, maybe it is because I’m nearing my 30’s.

It’s a humbling decade along with potential for, yet again, earth shattering advances. However, we don‘t quite know how to think about or relate to these things anymore, causing some nervousness along with the rather bleak economical and demograpic prospects in our societies.

We shall see, but the grind culture definitely seems less attractive than before, that’s for sure. People are tired.
The Netherlands also checking in, I have used eSIM for years, across various providers.
There are many decent youtubers who have clickbaity thumbnails. Unfortunately it probably makes such a large money difference that they compromise. E.g. LinusTechTips.
I really don't see a bright future for search engines. LLMs have exposed a new way to interact with knowledge, which is that, instead of sifting through results/webpages manually, they do that for us and present answers instead.

Sure, they have a ways to go (for example, i think they should provide confidence level for their answers based on how many docs/pages they ran into during training that support a particular answer; show references when asked etc) but the search engine as an interface is obsolete at this point.
Oh, got ya. In that case it's even better to use the same app for authentication. I though mobile app was not an option for that bank.
But what is the breakdown? 1 in 100, 1 in 1000, 1 in the entire school that gets YT as a knowledge mine?

Is that really about Twitter sharing ad revenue? The page is just talking about paid "subscriptions" to Twitter creators. That seems like a business model where the revenue cut is irrelevant. Nobody will pay $5/month to subscribe to one person's tweets.
