Let's say you could help everyone and print+spend money without any fake or real reason holding you back.

How long would that go for and at what point would you eventually have to say ok let's turn off the printer because there are consequences we haven't been paying attention to.
Your comment reads exactly inverse of the original dropbox comment, sure you can Ctrl+c and ctrl+v in a text file. How are you securing it and why, what does it do. Why do I have to open a text editor, to create an account.
Sure I can rsync or host my files on sftp, but there is a reason why Dropbox got more popular than any of those among avg users.
Does in the plane count? i.e closer to the supreme being.
It was in the Deptford Township High School, but this was a long time ago, the early 90's. I have no idea if is is still there or if it has been painted over since then.
Of course, lots of private and non-profit organizations have memberships, subscriptions, VIP tickets that let bigger spenders at least cut in line. It seems a bit more distasteful when the government does it though, of course, it happens in all sorts of more subtle ways. Generally speaking, so long as the general public still has reasonable access, it seems mostly harmless so long as the incremental funds go to the organization.
As a fun exercise I'd encourage everyone to count the number of computers they have in their home, being in the walls, bulbs, coffee machines, scales, toothbrushes and eventually Macbooks should all count.
The Las Vegas tunnel is 12ft diameter. The London Underground deep-level tube diameter is 11ft 8in. Underground is considered too small but is possible to run trains in tunnel that small. Plus, Las Vegas doesn’t need heavy rail but some light rail or pods would work well.

Subways in the US cost about $1B per mile. The Boring Company is spending about $10M per mile.

Subways have a capacity of about 50,000 people per hour. TBC's tunnels have a capacity of 4,000 people per hour.

So 8% of the capacity for 1% of the cost.

Even if the numbers are an order of magnitude out, it would still be attractive. 8% of the capacity for 10% of the cost would be fabulously useful in smaller cities like Vegas.
That's squarely in the middle class in many cities.

>Nobody measures keyboard latency this way (keypress travel)

You'll find most keyboards in your link, despite these fullrate-enabled high poll rates, actually have higher latency from keypress to event than what PS2 trivially achieved.

Which, by the way, is consistent with the findings in Danluu's article ("a joke"), showing that pressing 2 keys at once might not be as accurate, but does not completely compromise the results, relative to using a mechanical arm.

Note that Danluu documents his methodology, and even expresses that he would prefer a mechanical arm setup.

Which is why...

>That article is a joke.

Is undeservedly unkind.
Yeah a lot of money is not declared, like tips (another reason this should be banned). So people need to use it for less trackable by IRS things.
Yep but I'm being downvoted for being correct, as has become usual on HN the last year or so.
When one side is using the threat of what the article calls an "outcome [that] would be devastating for global markets" as a negotiating tactic, I would prefer if journalists were more forceful in their criticism of that approach.

Sometimes there is an objectively bad option in a political debate. Failing to raise the debt ceiling is one of those. We can have all sorts of debates about the US's debt and how we should cut expenses or raise revenue, but defaulting on our debts to "win" that debate is an objectively bad approach and journalists should make that clear.
I've been wondering the same thing. I started doing projects that involved parsing during covid lockdown, and since then I've done lots of toy projects and one full-sized programming language, and I very quickly realized that a) lexing didn't really make parsing any easier, and b) any non-trivial lexing (eg. number literals) was just duplicating parsing work anyway. It just seems much simpler to have a single layer that consumes characters off the front of a string
Which begs the question, why isn't that 'special'? Still sounds pretty special to me.
Hopefully, this will prevent all of the comments that say EU only fine them because they don't like US companies.
Alec Guinness Struck Gold with ‘Star Wars’ 45 Years Ago
regarding the 'feeling for robots' line of thought...perhaps modern technology has made the trope of "creator and creation" too tangible and muddied what was once an effective metaphor about life, spiritual relationships, creation, parenthood, etc. The trope is ancient: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pygmalion_(mythology).

If you don't think you're missing out, you're not. I think it could be preference.

I just prefer for a lexer to be responsible for handling characters, and a parser be responsible for handling tokens. So Single Responsibility Principle.
Wait, they have?
US recessions and bear markets happen most of the time because of mass psychosis, not because of some underlying cause. There can be a trigger, yes, but it's generally not that big of a deal. The government also plays a role in triggering these recessions, so that they can pop the bubbles before it's too late.

Yes, there can be recessions causes by world wars, worldwide droughts, pandemics and other cataclysmic events, but usually it's not the case for US.

Land leasership. You are renting the land from the public at a rate that encourages you to improve it. (Not buying vacant land, hoping for your neighbors to improve theirs, so you can profit.)
In the same way that people "choose" one of two political parties, sure.

Hide the alternatives, and it becomes a monopoly problem, not a people problem. I'll burn some imaginary internet points and go further; it's an American problem.

The kind of behaviour that's making this possible is easy in poorly regulated capitalism. We have capitalism in Europe too, but there are sensible guide-rails. That's not socialism, it's just common sense.
It only matters when Democrats are president.
The first one wasn't a box office hit either. They're great movies, but they just don't appeal to the majority of box office goers. I think it's because they're too 'arty' like independent film, yet film snob people who generally like stuff like that tend to look down on sci-fi, leaving a fairly small potential appreciative audience.
Every constituency will have at least 3 MPs to choose from, and most will have 4, 5 or even more.
Yeah, most Stroustrup and Gosling has acknowledged that, at least.

The reason I'd be ok with Smalltalk there is that Smalltalk at least was a significant break and you could argue that many of the "non-Smalltalk-y" OO languages are really ALGOL-derived languages that took some OO aspects (especially if you move Ruby out of the ALGOL bucket) in that most of them tend to combine support for both non-object types and objects, and have lots of constructs that operate on non-object values.

As such I can see the merits in both/either of Smalltalk and Simula treated as the "ur-language" for OO in a way I can't for Self.

Self is remarkable, but as I've mentioned before, more for the advances its implementation brought.
Man you really can't ask for better at $40/mo. That's fantastic, I'd want to keep that too!
Philosophers of mind do have definitions of consciousness and sentience, but for some reason people keep ignoring or rejecting them.

For the purposes of this discussion, "consciousness" per se is mostly irrelevant. Sentience is still important but has less to do with intelligence than with experience (though sentience is still very much involved in acts of reasoning).

There are different kinds of reasoning, and those are probably more relevant to the discussion at hand re intelligence: associative, deductive, inductive, abductive, etc.
Yes. Unionize.
Setting it to red and lowest brightness is pretty good for making the surroundings dark, but your bulb itself will still be a massive red blob.
> You are making the assumption that people don't read the articles, but what really happens is that most articles do not show themselves to be relevant enough to read.

If the vast majority of articles weren't relevant enough for people to read them, there would not be any interest in publishing the headlines in the first place.

The fact that Google is actually trying to fight this law, instead of just removing the links, is proof that they do find them monetizable.
The most surprising finding to me (as already said in the article) is that even at BB's scale, the sample size (and time period) for lot of data categories are simply not statistically large enough to conclude much, at least not with this quarterly data. You can see it clearly when the failure rate fluctuates heavily QoQ and has lots of outliers when count of units is (relatively) low.

You still can get some trends, but for instance if you want to find say the "best" model, this probably isn't too helpful.

I guess it just shows that the failure of an HDD is a very random thing.
It's true when it comes to criminal law. We don't enforce much of code unless someone outright admits to a crime or it's really high-profile.

Civil law though? You need a private army of lawyers.

Without a comparison, then the only conclusion is that Twitter simply cannot be run "correctly" by anybody, given that everyone has a vision of how it should be.
I'm not the one who brought race into it, I'm pointing out that it should be banned for everyone. Nobody here is saying "we should ban facial recognition only on minorities", they are pointing out that it can and is likely to be abused specifically to further existing racial inequality.
This hasn't been true for the last couple of years.

Currently living in Switzerland, here they just use railroad switches. So express trains can run uninterrupted while e.g. another train is on a separate track in the station.

Yep, I read the article, thanks for your concern. The fact that the author begins and ends the article by talking about Thomas Paine's position on land ownership isn't an accident. The point is to say land ownership is some modern perversion, maybe even an un-American one, so it's fair to call that into question.
> The "you will own nothing" advocates will continue to keep pushing for stuff like this.

Who are these "advocates"?
While you're not wrong, "it's always been this way" is a poor defense against the desire to make things better.
I'm probably just missing it, but I'm not seeing a step where the firmware itself is locking itself to an individual RPi, which would mean you can simply change out the USB drive itself and boot whatever you want.

Does it do that transparently, maybe when the keys are enrolled?
You lex into tokens and then parse the tokens. It’s much easier to write cleaner, extensible, and maintainable code this way. For example, why have the hassle of worrying about whether you’re dealing with a string with numbers or just a number itself while parsing?
It's a totum pro parte synecdoche.
And its a good thing,it keeps them aligned
Personally I just hate the transition from "the catalog" to "the feed". No matter what information source you're looking at it's just an endless scrolling list of content or links to content, all of it implicitly ephemeral. I miss going to a site and clicking on a category of thing and then getting everything of that type presented to me in a visually appealing way. If I wanted, say, reviews of digital media players I would get a grid of nice thumbnails, and if I wanted to only look at, say, Sony products that was one click. Now you have to make bricks without straw by using a tag system that doesn't return results in any particular order and may or may not include everything.
And the last six thousand years of government have proven that most officials are not trustworthy for having say over what source of information adults should have access to.
> Your analysis flat out refuses to acknowledge the inherent value-add that diversity in general brings to the field of AI

Do you have actual quantified evidence that supports this? Also if you are going to cite a study, it should be reproducible.
This is really just government investment. Government investment gave us the iPhone basically.

I mean look at it:

GPS — government technology
the internet — a government technology
ai voice assistants — Apple literally hired the head of this research straight from DARPA after DARPA had released its work to the public
touchscreens — DARPA
accelerometers — DARPA
speech recognition — more DARPA and MIT tech

One of the only non-gov't technologies core to it is microprocessors which was made by Bell Labs. But even that was only possible because of a gov't mandated monopoly on Bell Labs and legislation that forced it to invest in research. Basically what public universities are

The government is innovative. It's just not good at taking credit for it

I mean just think about it for a second. Why on earth would a private company ever invest heavily in R&D and then release that knowledge to the public so everyone (including their competitors) can benefit. All our major technological innovations have come from the public sector and that should not at all be surprising if you just think about the incentive structures

Edit: if you're interested in this topic, economist Mariana Mazzucato has a whole book on debunking public vs. private sector myths. It's quite good and draws on a lot of data and evidence to make its case and show how absurd some of our assumptions really are: https://marianamazzucato.com/books/the-entrepreneurial-state
It absolutely is.

LLMs are already being used as mediums of information access and will continue to grow in that role.

Information filters/access has a huge role in informing public sentiment, that makes LLMs a massive propaganda vector to be employed for whichever purpose it's controller's wish.

Their effectiveness IN that role is also likely to be beyond anything we've ever seen before.
> Cracking down on scam ads: not sure what this means, but fraud is fraud whether it's on the internet or not. This feels like more outsourcing of law enforcement to companies. If there are complaints about scam ads, then law enforcement should investigate, with subpoenas if needed, and prosecute. Does there need to be a separate law for this?

If a newspaper printed adverts to put your life savings into some NFT scam with a picture of Martin Lewis endorsing it, they would find themselves sued out of business very quickly.

That doesn't seem to apply to facebook though.
I'm still waiting to see the results of the massive infrastructure package that was passed in 2008. We've had a few more rounds of such spending, supposedly because of outdated infrastructure. You have to wonder how many more times they are going to get away with that trick.

Whenever they pass massive spending, its clear they are not talking to American people. They are talking to the corporations that are going to benefit.
It is important to distinguish between the Hyperloop, the long distance vacuum tube, and Loop intra-city tunnels. They are very different and they are both stupid.

I have a PC connected to the TV in my living room with an annoyingly bright blue power light. Even worse, it blinks when the PC is asleep. I ended up taking it apart and wiring in a 470k ohm resistor and three 2.2uf electrolytic capacitors in parallel. The resistor lowers the brightness and the capacitors make it fade in and out a little bit instead of just going on and off. (It still lights up pretty fast, but it fades out fairly gently.)
Both not paying your bills, and passing your debts to your children, are now apparently conservative values.

Uhh you can just flick the light switch off and on and it takes that as a signal to turn on.
generally this is correct, but this kinda misses the point as to why terrorists are treated as they are.

Not saying it is correct, but usually when they are overseas they are treated as enemy combatants (not to mention, if they aren’t US citizens then US rights don’t technically apply).

You wouldn’t hold your fire in a battle because you need to have a judge determine whether an enemy army is guilty. That’s sort of the idea with foreign terrorist organizations.

In hindsight it’s easy to blame that person for not automatically expecting a grueling day of interviews or at least asking for details about what to expect.

But it’s easy for me to believe that the recruiter deliberately mislead the candidate about the on-site. I have experienced on-sites that were indeed more about meeting the team, having more casual technical discussions and being judged for “culture fit” (which has its own problems, but that’s another discussion).

It’s not unreasonable to take the recruiter at their word and be upset about the unexpected challenge, especially after a rough travel itinerary.
So there is a 20% layoff and the sale of the logistics unit to Flexport, if I understand this right?

Is this on top of the layoff they had a few months ago? That means Shopify is really about 30% smaller all told.

Debt and entitlements should be the primary issue for under-40 voters. You are sacrificing your prosperity to pay for an insolvent entitlement system. It’s been insolvent for 50 years and now it is bankrupt.

Inflation isn’t a natural mechanism , it’s a way to get people to work harder and longer in exchange for a lower quality of life.

The inflation curve shot up in 1971 as a deliberate policy to compensate for a doubling of the work force. Twice as much time spent at work for a lower quality of life.

Money and debt are just proxy indicators for time. Vote like your life depends on it, because it does.
The way I read it, the author of the article isn't wanting an expanded internet. The author's focus seems to be on siloed places to exist online.

I was confused as they lament the loss of google reader. You still have those options available through RSS using other tools. At the same time they prefer a regulated, regimented site with rules and expected behavior. UGC will always have all sides of cultures, viewpoints and opinions, which is what the internet on whole provides.
The lexer groups individual characters into building blocks, tokens, that the language is made of. From keywords such as "if", "for", "function" and symbols like "{", to arbitrary identifiers that doesn't contribute to the actual meaning or structure of the program, i.e. "foo".

The parser groups the tokens into meaningful statements, it implements the grammar. If the parser sees an "if", it expects some condition next (depending on the grammar of course). If the parser detects statements that are not consistent with the grammar of the language, it should reject the program.

Tldr they work on different levels, lexers just finds the individual building blocks, the parser builds the program
It was pretty clear the GP was indicating that Republicans (today) are not satisfied with the outcome of the Civil War.

On the contrary, making examples out of the Martin Shkreli's of the world is how we put the fear of the law back into ingrates. If you're not planning to get in trouble, maybe your plans should expand to include the purview of the law. The market defaults to unfair practice unless legislation or regulation says otherwise.
