C and C++ are different languages. It's subjective, but both are generally more difficult than garbage collected languages because you have to think about memory management and they don't have some of the high-level utilities other languages do (like an easy to use timer). IMO, modern C++ isn't too gnarly (it has a nice standard library that with components like smart pointers and containers), but it's still a PITA compared to garbage collected languages because it builds slowly and you do have to think about memory management like I mentioned. C is gnarlier IMO because its standard library is much more bare bones and it doesn't have the built-in smart pointers or containers that C++ has.

Like with any language, there’s gonna be a lot of context-dependent words/phrases with multiple meanings that are hard to segment/parse/translate correctly. Things like DeepL or GTranslate take into account probabilities for segmentation and grammar (or use ICU libraries); but that’s harder to do from a context of using ligatures and basic font engine features.

e.g. The classic example is 大麻煩 - is it 大|麻煩 (a big inconvenience), or is it 大麻|煩 (marijuana annoyance)? Is 粉絲 fan, or vermicelli? Is 早唞！ “good night!” or “go fuck yourself!”?

Agreed, and my comment to that end was:

> Pure ripping is easy

As in, that's easy to distinguish. But, take a single step away from image-for-image or byte-for-byte copy and it gets hard real fast.

That's where all the problem lies, right? That when is something not-a-direct-copy but still infringes-on-the-original?

And that's what I'm trying to highlight. My "space fastener" from earlier is unique because it does novel things (for arguments sake). But once I add "it works in 1G" well it's going up against a whole bunch of other nuts/bolts.

I'm hoping to help convince you that it's more than surface deep - is all.
Eventually there will be so much ChatGPT spam that the only way to cope with it is to have an LLM respond to incoming requests as a first line of defense, generating _even more_ machine content in response, and a thread that someday a crawler will consume and use to train another generation of models.

And every step of the way companies get their cut of the generation costs.
I think you're well within legal rights to download a copy of the game (from a trusted source) as it existed when you purchased, and use it that way.

I have been using it to write bedtime stories and nursery rhymes for my 1.5yo son. Currently, his favorite things are butterflies, firetrucks, and the moon. ChatGPT writes some great stories about them all going on adventures together :)
I’ve never understood why voice recognition has always attempted to be complete understanding of arbitrary input, rather than follow a simple command language eg <subject> <parameters> <action>. It could be made completely reliable with current tech (even a decade ago, really), by just minimizing the possibility space… and I’m pretty sure consumers would trivially be able to learn it, as long as they don’t try to go full pseudo-programming-language mode

And “Computer, execute program alpha beta seven” would be the power user version of it

I looked into doing exactly what your wife (seems to) does at the Mayo clinic recently. It's not entirely out of the question, about double to triple my out of pocket for going local via the usual route.

What they offer is basically this: Describe your issue to a care team prior to your arrival, once you arrive you will meet with your primary specialist and get referred to any tests/etc. you may need doing. These will all be scheduled in advance and simply canceled if you end up not needing them. Even the most likely procedure(s) will be scheduled, so you end up getting done in 2-3 days what typically would take 3-6mo due to wait times via my local hospital system.

It's incredibly tempting, despite the cost. The primary reason I go without medical care is due to the constant starting/stopping of the system. I need to focus on a problem and get it done with, not let it drag on for months.
I came into a bit of money in college and decided to buy a Sun workstation.

You are correct - they didn’t know how to fulfill individual sales. The box was delivered to a LTL freight crossdock, and I got a call from a dispatcher to come pick the thing up. I had to drive to the industrial part of town. A bemused guy helped me get the carton down and remove the boxes, then I got to lug thing across the yard.

It was a fun thing to have amongst my nerd friends. I ended up selling it at a nice profit because I was willing to ship it anywhere. The monitor i sold at a loss to a graduate student.

Just a guess but probably its due to libinput, which is used by default on Wayland. AFAIK it can also be set on X as the default for probably similarly good pen support, but I have never tried - I am more than fine with Wayland.

Sincere question: I wonder what fraction of Python users bump into these limitations often enough for it to be a problem. I do find Python to be more pleasant than C, though I use them in different domains -- desktop and embedded -- so it's not a direct comparison.

How do clients/candidates/vendors schedule time with you?
"Difficult" doesn't describe a property of a programming language. The majority of code most of us run every day, from operating systems to networking to desktop and mobile applications exists because programmers wrote it in C or C++, or some closely-related derivative such as Java, C#, or Swift. So it follows that hundreds of thousands of programmers have mastered these languages over the years, and the languages stand out as tools of choice in many domains.

C came out in the mid-70s, C++ about a decade later, and both still get used to write lots of new code.

Some programmers find C and C++ difficult to learn and master, others don't. That depends on the programmer, not the language. Some people struggle with Python and Javascript too.
Nope - if NeXT arrives as a Smalltalk-based device, much open-source/internet software does NOT get ported to run on NeXT. A few years later, TBL picks some other workstation to develop WWW.
I like your copyright idea in general even if I think maybe the formula could be tuned a bit. And I agree with your reasoning about patents although I don’t know enough about other industries to know if something patent-like may still be necessary (for example, as much as we hate big pharma for charging huge amounts on patented medicine, they probably do need a guaranteed payoff to incentivize the massive cost and risk of going through FDA trials).

I don’t think trademarks need to be taxed like that, basically every single consumer product has a trademark and I’m positive you could work around the nested trademark thing. I think trademarks are good to disincentivize fraud or misleading consumers (you shouldn’t be able to infringe <highly trusted brand> with low quality crap), the problem is the legal system allows frivolous application of trademark, like one company suing another for using the same common word (eg Monster) in a tangentially related domain, or another company trying to enforce trademark of something that shouldn’t even be in scope of trademark, like a color.

Especially for trademark I think we need to prevent its weaponization for anticompetitive/extractive purposes, more than we need to restrict or disincentivize its legitimate use. That probably requires some really clever lawyers with expertise moreso than HN comments
Ugh, dealing with Minecraft/Microsoft account management is a nightmare. I think somebody really just set out to make it as difficult, obtuse and frustrating as possible. How could Mojang make it painless but Microsoft make it "going to the dentist"?

Ask HN: Did you fine tune ChatGPT on priprietary data without sending to OpenAI?
I keep hearing about projects that fine tune chatGpt model but all of them so far sent data over the network. Did anyone download model train on proprietary data without sending any data over the network? If so, how much did it cost you? Let's say you want to train it on your whole company slack history or your company git projects.

Wayland devs are the X devs, so there is that.

Also, wayland builds only on the pure kernel abstractions for video drivers (DRM+KMS), which is (was) not supported by nvidia (which instead patched your xorg binary with their proprietary code). No sane person wanted to support nvidia’s way for a completely different render path, so it wasn’t initially supported, until nvidia came to their senses and also implemented the necessary linux subsystems in some of their drivers. So pretty much the same old “Linus middle finger” story, nothing specific with wayland.

> When someone holding the digital currency wants to redeem it for cash, all they would need to do is present it to the comptroller or a designated agent, who will then sell gold held in the depository account equal to the redemption amount and transfer the funds to the redeemer, minus any fees.

> The value of each unit of the digital currency will be determined at the time of a transaction and “must be equal to the value of the appropriate fraction of a troy ounce of gold at the time of that transaction.”

If this were actually put into effect, expect intense interest from current long-term owners of gold ETFs e.g. GLD. GLD steadily declines relative to spot bullion, as a means of charging to holders expenses of storage, security and management. The Texas proposal would apparently cover such costs entirely with fees on exchange transactions, making long-term holders something like free riders on the system.

Although I have searched to find any mention of Wambaugh’s correspondence with his first publisher, I have failed to find any mention of what was called the “World’s shortest letter,” or something like that.

From memory I recall reading an account of Wambaugh having been invited to submit his first manuscript to a publisher and, after not hearing anything back, he sent a letter to them that consisted entirely of a single question mark typed on a sheet of paper. A few days later, he received a response that consisted of a single exclamation point.

If Mandarin doesn't need tones in lyrics, why does it need them normally?
