I recently decided to try a scheme and did not find any that had supported Windows as a first class platform, so that's one limitation. By comparison SBCL just runs on Windows without any difficulties.
Would be more interesting/useful to see a meta-list ranking the books that come up more than once in recommendations, sorted from most frequent to least frequent.
Is there some point you're trying to make or are you just being needlessly pedantic?

The 2016 Macbook Air[0] was not the first in the series. The lack of ports was controversial due to it differing from the previous 2015 model[1].

I've particularly enjoyed saving loads of time by having it convert API responses to typescript classes.

And once I was done, asking it to write up some functions for the way they interact worked out very well.

In general, I've made a habit of asking it coding questions (usually how to do something in a complicated framework) before bothering teammates. Probably about 80% success rate.
>you're already talking about people which are fainting and suffocating.

No. Many Covid patients have blood oxygen levels so low they should be dead (into the 70s and even lower). But they’re not gasping for air, their hearts aren’t racing, and their brains show no signs of blinking off from lack of oxygen. They did not need vents- their pulse ox levels were misleading.

It really is a shame that none of the other 4th gen declarative languages (outside of SQL) really took off.

There is a certain clarity of purpose declarative code has that I find really pleasing.

I think the Microsoft Tay incident is reason enough that OpenAI know it would be a bad idea to structure things in such a way that the internet can wreck it in a manner of hours, but I certainly think they could make it learn in real-time if they wanted to. They are running RLHF at least with the current ChatGPT, but in theory maybe they could do something like each user gets their own LoRA and it uses their conversations to fine-tune a version specific to them.

I suspect we'll start seeing ideas akin to that tried in the open source community.
So in dysfunctional organizations force managers to keep poorly performing employees? This is somehow related to remote work how? Such a problem exists regardless of where the employee is working.
> Maybe I missed something about the reason you oppose the website...

It sounds like you took the primary criticism in the parent comment to be about reading in general.

I took it to mean that the best way to learn say economics is not to read one of "the top 5 recommended books on economics" but rather start by googling a specific aspect or question about economics that interests you and then following the thread.

Granted, reading one of the top 5 books may be a great entry point for many people but I think there's also a false promise of knowledge offered by sites like this.
The authors also submitted different test studies to different peer-review boards. The methodology was identical, and the variable was that the purported findings either went for, or against, the liberal worldview (for example, one found evidence of discrimination against minority groups, and another found evidence of "reverse discrimination" against straight white males). Despite equal methodological strengths, the studies that went against the liberal worldview were criticized and rejected, and those that went with it were not. - https://theweek.com/articles/441474/how-academias-liberal-bi...

That said, I highly doubt this finding in particular (women needing fewer calories/oxygen) is wrong. It's a well established metabolical fact that women need fewer calories, and it would be bizarre if that didn't translate into less oxygen used.
you were right[1], I was wrong.

Ray tracing in this game is laughable.

There’s a portion of the city where gigantic, nuclear-sized explosions happen at night.

In fields where there aren't too many adversarial players (i'm talking about big industrial companies) like math or compsci things are kind of ok already. Its in biology and medicine where it's the worst. It's obviously because their fields are much more penetrated by the industry and more generally by economical goals. At some point you gotta be blind not to see that the ones dragging us behind (or more generally holding levers) are the guys with the big bucks.
I bought it recently at half the launch price, played through this (now) flawlessly working game, and had a blast. It must suck to be a games publisher/developer, and have all of your users incentivized to wait.
i was just considering switching to android after hitting “you’ve created too many apps in the last 7 days” and couldn’t build a project in xcode. glad to see that would be a waste of time and that everything sucks.

I didn't mention that in my original response, but the guy that wrote this document putting the nail in the coffin for PHP at Amazon said that ultimately it was too expensive to even TRY to assess PHP's safety. The amount he quoted was only 250,000$.

Looking back it's so obvious that it was an opinionated crusade from one guy, I simply don't understand how one of the most influential programming languages ever got dismissed by a single dude with fallacious arguments in less than a thousand words.

>Strong jobs report = the Federal reserve hasn't achieved what they wanted yet (slightly more unemployment and to bring wages down)

Good news is now good news though, as despite what your are saying (which has been true) the Fed has made it extremely clear they are pausing and will not raise rates again this cycle
Thumb keys on an ergonomic keyboard are a much better solution to this issue.
Is it playable at this point? My last attempt was ~6 months ago, after many patches had been released and it was supposedly more ready than it had been before.

I eventually gave up after I’d keep getting random crashes that would force me to start the current quest over.

Maybe my issue was something less common, but I still have yet to experience the game that I’ve been more excited about than almost any other for quite a few years.
It's called "overfitting specs". They ask for a very specific set of specs that only Apple laptops have and ignore anything else. If you can find anything that competes they'll move the goalposts and complain about touchpad or something else.
From what I can tell after digging into the code, the server is responsible for signing everything. I was really hoping that users would have more control in regards to this. I have a similar concern, what prevents the server from publishing without the users consent?

Also, I keep seeing discussion about being able to move identities to a new server, but to do that, you need to update your corresponding DID Document -- currently published to https://plc.directory/. Again, that has to be done with the sigining key. What if a server refuses? Is the user stuck and forced to recreate the account/history somewhere else?

Apparently the Japanese believe that they can have their cake and eat it too. The striking thing is that a majority are concerned about China, but also a majority are against additional taxes to pay for increased defense expenditures.

It’s well unestablished that women at least eat less calories than men, and they’re smaller than men.

If a study found men used LESS resources than women it would of course be surprising and receive closer scrutiny. We see over and over in nature that large things tend to use more resources than small things, of course people would be sceptical. A study having an unpopular conclusion doesn’t necessarily mean that study is especially credulous due to the good peer review it must have had, or that a study with a popular conclusion should be hand waved.
I'm not super convinced most people will do more work on-site either, I'm just pointing out the immoral position you put yourself in by working two full-time jobs at once.
This would only be a problem not when you first buy the phone but only if you buy a very very old used phone that has never had the OS replaced and google has exited the phone business and if you wanted to replace the OS.
I don’t think it’s the ADHD. I have it but I’m very conservative on the stack. And I know many developers who don’t have ADHD, some newbie and some who code longer than 20 years and are going after the latest shiny thing.

I think it’s more of what people assume it’s a status symbol among their peers. I noticed for example, in church, that some people think the more boring is more saint and don’t like more a church with a more contemporary dynamic approach and I think the same effect applies in the software development world.
That’s a personal question
They yanked a ton of features from their 48-minute demo released in 2018 to make the release date which they never bothered to add back

Companies are choosing to keep the policy because it was better for the company too. Over 80% of the companies trialing 4DWW in one large sample chose to keep the policy!
The point of accessibility is that people experience things differently.

For the designer it might be "a bit inconvenient to read", and for somebody else it might be "literally impossible to read".
Definitely playable. I play mine on a bootcamped MacBook 16” and it runs really well @ 1080p

No, that's only on 3D models and they're not efficiency cores, they're just cores without access to the extra cache. They're actually clocked higher.
Why would I care?

USB-C is perfectly good for the moment in time we live in.

Imagine if goddamn power plugs in your wall were starting to be different because some company thinks a different format is better.

Or if they started to pull some "you can only charge your car with this very specific type of connector, but not others" and cars are much more impacted and sensitive by arguments like yours.
Why does the code being public mean it is ready for prod? I feel you have a large misunderstanding.

Code being ready for production has nothing to do with code being shared privately nor publicly.
There’s absolutely nothing clear about this.
I feel the exact opposite. It changed JS from a language I loathe to one I really like. There are no other mainstream languages with a similar type system, which means it's uniquely easy to do very complex things with type safety.

Even Rust is still nominally typed, which means you have a lot more boilerplate.
In return for this feature a class of lower income users are able to buy hundreds of millions of phones and pay for them over an extended period using monthly payments on their phone account. This is the trade-off Google makes.

Anyone try out the tenets in Reliable Javascript (2015), pre-Typescript?

The authors praise--and begin with an example from--D3.js, and work through handrolled dependency injection, aspects, and test-driven development with Jasmine.

Truly understanding `this`, .bind, .apply, and .call may be essential to a mastery of (vanilla) Javascript.
It's a list of things you can choose to do, and it discusses the trade-offs in most cases.

It would be terrible advice if it were framed as "do all these things."
This is extremely useful. Lately I've begun to feel that my edit wars had descended into the just the usual mundane back & forth. My spirit wasn't really in it. But a guide like this is just what I needed to revitalize my pettiness and perhaps even raise it to new heights.
My biggest issue with the game at launch was that the place felt empty, like a giant city with nothing going on. Has that changed at all?
Thanks for summarizing the main points of the article so concisely.

The article also points out that GMs LT6 flat-plane V8 for the Corvette Z06 has a sound different from the F355, this apparently being deliberate design choice made by choosing which harmonics to emphasize in the exhaust system.

You say that flat-plane engines do not require the complex header primaries that have to cross over from one bank to the other, but AFAIK typical road car and truck V8s do not have such headers[1]. Would the purpose of such headers be to give a cross-plane V8 scavenging about as good as a flat-plane one, all else being equal? In that case, would the cross-plane engine lose most of its distinctive sound?

I would be interested in hearing the difference between otherwise comparable flat-plane and cross-plane V8s at the same RPM.

Right, that was the first thing I looked at and I don’t understand the article author’s logic: compare performance to M2, then don’t compare the 25% lower power (admittedly stated) consumption.

Just a super weird writing choice.

Also puts to bed the “x86 is fundamentally unable to be as low power as arm” rationale for the poor intel and amd perf/watt. I think the sole reason for that is that they never _really_ competed on that metric.
There is one: https://xkcd.com/297/.

More seriously though, I'd love to know how the whole thing came about, and what was the Lisp connection/lineage that made the DSL use S-expressions.

Also, it seems Microsoft ecosystem has a bunch of such oddities pop up in unexpected places. IIRC, at some point Windows used (or is still using) some Prolog-derivative for declarative networking configuration and troubleshooting?
> Phoning home before undertaking such an activity takes away the ownership rights from the customers. They do not actually own these devices even after they have purchased them.

Smartphones have become pocket game consoles, with the same business model.

There may be other Android app stores, but Google Play still owns the Android app store market (except in China where Google is blocked/unavailable) - in spite of charging hefty platform fees comparable to those charged by Apple or Nintendo.
Or, if one takes their example countries situation into account: corruption is bad, and corrosive to everything good.
I was on Folfirinnox + Avastin. 2 week cycle with three actual days of chemo, five shitty days and then a recovery week. Exercise was really dictated by my port surgically put into my right peck. After about four weeks I could deadlift, squat, all the compound lifts + run,bike,swim if I had the energy.

The surgery was supposed to be VATs, but the tumor was so large it turned into a general thoracotomy. It's fucking brutal. Easily the hardest thing i've had to do in life so far. But I'll get through it because there's no other choice. Forward. :)

I always thought it was funny that there was a non-serious quip in the universal capture segment that you could someday say:

If you set an Alexa’s wake word to “computer,” that joke is now basically reality.
> I really, really don’t like greenfield projects. There are too many options. Too many tools to chose and decisions to be made. All of the code has to be written, including the boilerplate and the boring stuff. Thanks but no thanks. Give me a messy project instead.

You know you can make your greenfield project messy, right?

Over the past few years, I discovered I really enjoy projects that are uncertain, where nobody knows yet how it's all supposed to work and what the end result is going to look like. Projects where you try stuff only to throw it away. I've done projects like that, and they were my favourite projects ever. I love to experiment, crank our a quick proof of concept, only to rewrite it in a different framework and refactor it several times over the first year.
Turns out the internet has proven upsides, not sure you can say that about crypto with a straight face.
LibreOffice and other free and open source alternatives to Microsoft Office are definitely not a "wasted effort". LibreOffice is able to handle just about all of the home and small business use cases of Microsoft Office, and many people are able to skip buying Microsoft Office licenses because this free alternative is available to them. Also, Microsoft Office still does not support Linux outside its feature-limited web app edition, while LibreOffice does.
Oh, it won't backfire, it'll instead be seen as a move towards "empathetic computing", with the larger goals for society now integrated into a constantly available in-your-face AI "influencer" live-commenting and emoting to everything you do. It's the next revolution, it's shitty and it'll make a lot of money. Imagine the twitch addicted zoomers getting access to Bing "AI"'s spinoff, "microsoft streamer" or whatever, that's always on, always ready to "help" and tells you what to think!

It's perfect, pretty soon you'll have to pay extra money for an actual computer instead of a thin client. Everyone's just waiting for the much-vaunted graphics compute unit breakthough. Even Intel is doing graphics cards now.

If you think attention-deprived kids that can't stay away from their computers are bad now, just wait until kids start empathizing with their "AI" "assistants" and using one is mandated everywhere (just like a computer is now). Society will collectively LOSE it. I'm sure that then, there'll be start-ups ("government certified", of course) that specialize in "social maneuvering" that use robots and thin clients to make people meet one another for interactive, half-screen half-in-person events.
Personally, I've always believed the best form of government is an absolute monarchy headed by a benevolent monarch. The problem with that, of course, is benevolent monarchs are few and far between.
What I'm getting at is that attempting to escalate a mugging beyond "I point a gun/knife at you, you give me stuff, I get away as fast as physically possible, I fence the stuff you gave me as soon as possible" introduces a lot more risks than what most muggers are willing to bear. Things get hairy very quickly the moment either the mugger or muggee deviates from that script - and forcing the muggee to unlock a mugged device is a rather drastic deviation, especially when the muggee can just as quickly call the police or reboot the phone or otherwise introduce yet more risk for the mugger on top of the existing risk from prolonging the duration of the mugging.

Same deal with home burglaries. No burglar in one's right mind is going to give the slightest iota of a rodent's anus about the possibility of there being a Bitcoin wallet and SSH keys on your laptop; most burglaries are smash-and-grab, and are intended specifically to minimize the amount of time spent inside the victim's home. Every second adds risk of complications; unless the burglar is targeting you specifically and knows ahead of time exactly which devices might have valuable data, it's in said burglar's best interests to take the laptop and run rather than spend precious seconds (or worse: minutes) "persuading" you to unlock it.

Very cool and all, but when is the "make the game good" update coming? I'm more interested in that.
I had a similar experience playing it a few months ago—I bought it on steam so it had all the patches, but I got stuck on this one mission where it would refuse to spawn the entrance to the next part of the quest. I spent a few hours googling trying to figure out what was going on, and then I gave up. It’s such a beautiful game, and has a lot of potential, but it is definitely not as stable as any other major AAA game I’ve played in the last 10 years. I would also get random crashes if I enabled raytracing (despite having an RTX card).
Just a pet peeve of mine directed at you and the GP.

"Orthogonal" - the better word for most circumstances unrelated to math is "unrelated". Depending on the situation, "has nothing to do with" works pretty well too.

And to the GP: Since passkeys (and passwords, and etcetera) are related to some extent to one's "digital life", then they cannot be "entirely orthogonal".

To really, really nitpick, even in math, orthogonality does not imply unrelatedness. Two objects being orthogonal to each other means that they both are related to the extent they belong to the same coordinate system.

I guess, by my standards then, using the phrasing "entirely orthogonal" indicates that you believe that the two things are related to the extent they belong to the same coordinate system, but never meet.

I don't like this usage because it seems that "digital life" embodies the entire coordinate system in which "passkeys" exist. Nothing is "orthogonal" to its coordinate system, at most it's orthogonal to an axis in that coordinate system.

I'm kind of tired of this nitpicking myself, though. Please don't borrow nomenclature from other fields when already existing nomenclature (or better yet, colloquial terms) work just fine. Thanks.

Show HN: AI Poetry Contest
Hi HN! Me and my buddy made this in a weekend as an experiment in 1. building something quickly and putting it out there and 2. using AI in an interesting way; in this case a poetry judge. Our “judge” isn’t perfect, but the hope is that at least it’s a relatively fair system that everyone can be sure evaluates their work. Anyway, we wanted to see what the lovely people of HN think of it.

Some background on the idea; I like poetry and thought it would be cool if there was a big competition with a large financial incentive that scales with the number of participants. Using AI as a judge allows us to handle any number of submissions in a consistent and fair way. It also opens up the competition to poetry written in other languages, although for now we’re only promoting in the US. Happy to answer any questions! Also any feedback is much appreciated, thanks!
