Great stuff, is there any update on searches which include code in branches? I often manually find interesting work done in development branches of cloned repos of the one I'm focused on but which never sees the light of day and not found in search. I imagine having the network also part of the search would be a good facet.

Outside of a few retail investors institutional buyers are no so naïve that they take a loss-making company paying out a dividend as a measure of good financial health.

It had variable length addressing "up to 20 bytes", which IIRC was done so that it could easily accommodate different addressing systems into one. Unfortunately, variable length fields make for really annoying hardware implementations.

TUBA (replacement of IP with CLNP, running TCP and UDP on top) mandated use of max size addresses always, to make it simpler to decode, as part of "Internet Profile CLNP".

Did you really point out a plan that has sharply limited data in the EU as some sort of support for your original statement that nobody worries about data in the EU??
And yet it is ridiculous that I have to respond to a 2fa on my phone just to watch youtube on my laptop, every. time.

I have a paid yt account fine, but watching trivial videos is not in the same class with accessing my gmail, or managing my gmail, or even managing my own videos if I were a youtuber. I'm fine with being one identity (well no I'm not but pretend I am) but those are not all the same activity or class of activity.
Yes, because these are emergent phenomenon. Ecosystems are by definition too complex to have anything cognizable as intent. New diseases are an emergent phenomenon because the new species of bacteria or viruses we either find or which evolve around us interact with us in new ways, and those are all emergent phenomenon.

If something is emergent, that is by definition not with intent. My intent and your intent and everybody else’s intent creates both strong and weak interactions which percolate through society, recognizable through other phenomena which we measure such as economy, births, deaths, elections or whatever sum up into a society which is recognizable as a describable body but which is emergent and without an intent of its own but rather multiple sometimes overlapping and sometimes clashing intents. Ecosystems are like that: full of creatures with intentions of their own, but without any sort of intent. It cannot use anything without a body (a tree, a bee, a fox, a bacterial culture, a virus) taking action, therefore it cannot weaponize anything.

Or put another way, you can go into the Jungle, and you might die, and some lazy mofo might say you died from the Jungle but what actually killed you would be a crocodile, a jaguar, some kind of infection from an identifiable bacteria or virus even if left unidentified, maybe your inability to metabolize due to protein starvation, or something else, but the Jungle itself will not be the thing that killed you.

Some suggestions:

1. There is a lot of stuff in the HN Undocumented norms repo[0] that would be potentially good candidates.

2. Clear up some of the oft repeated norms around disagreement and downvotes. Downvotes in general (when do you get access to the downvote, what they are for, why there are no submission downvotes, etc).

3. Information about posting: reposting, file types (since only pdfs and videos are mentioned explicitly), pay walls. Add a note about year tags.

4. Info about why titles are sometimes changed automatically (since this is often confusing to people).

5. An explicit call out that bots and entirely (or almost entirely) generated comments are banned, with allowances for comments with substantial human contribution quoting eg ChatGPT output.

"productive"

I would guess that maybe less than a third of the total workforce is doing things we actually want and need as a society, and 90% of that third are jobs that are close to being automated.

As one example, the US alone has nearly $300 billion a year in revenue for the advertising industry and employees a quarter million people. When looking at the list of things humanity needs, ads aren't very high. There is a lot that exists to facilitate the other shit that doesn't need to exist.

point of clarification: people have value regardless of their profession and regardless of whether it becomes automated
NeXT is example 1 of anytime I wonder "have we made ANY progress in desktop".

Linux and Windows desktop experience is at best equivalent to x86 NeXTStep desktop environments (except the OS did have memory leaks).

Especially considering that we are talking at the time a 66 - 100 MHz 486 or the first gen pentiums (again maybe 100-133Mhz), small and short hard drives, maybe 64-128 MB of ram.

Example 2 is BeOS, although I never used BeOS on its era of hardware to personally comment.

However, Jobs tried to make BeOS the basis of OSX, and NeXT was his backup plan. So BeOS must have been pretty compelling.

Hi there, and thanks for all the comments / interest in TRSE! Even though the name was chosen back in 2018 just for fun, I hope that you guys are having a blast trying out the various systems & tutorials that are currently supported in the IDE. Instead of discussing whether TRSE is a good/bad name, how about making a demo about it instead?
> I am stunned to see you recommending people should actually work for this groomers cesspool,

It's about as much a groomer's cesspool as Discord, Twitter, Reddit, or any other social media.

I feel this is a problem with parenting more than the tool. If it wasn't roblox it would have been any other website on the internet. Should we ban the internet for kids under 13? Maybe, but banning something from kids never kept some from getting access.
The outside chance that maybe there was an afternoon once was hotter than the absurd heights we are reaching seems irrelevant.

The odds of there being such years keeps shrinking, and is already below there being a one in a million chance of there ever having had been such an exceptional year in the past 10k years. The truth you cling to is on a statistically decreasing time line, as the average keeps riding.

Whether a rare exceptional happened or not seems entirely beside the point. And far worse is looming with very high chance.
That is an awesome read as well, thanks for sharing!
Highly amusing.
Retainer doesn't mean work for free. Retainer means you give them money in advance so they can charge you for their time. Maybe some will give out freebies but generally speaking those that like to do things like eat food and live indoors will charge you for their time.

If StackOverflow dies, surely the developer-relevant quality of training data will suffer?

After all, the capabilities of ChatGPT are basically proportional to how well a topic is represented in the training data, which is largely the internet.
Your comment reminded me of this wonderful demo of NeXTSTEP 3 by Steve Jobs himself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4UiGnpmwAJk
Heh, I just wrote a blog post this weekend where I tested, among other things, the loss of some coax cables:

https://tomverbeure.github.io/2023/05/06/HP-11720A-Pulse-Mod...

My results are much worse, with a minimum of 2.5dBm, but I'm measuring frequencies that start 1.5GHz and that go all the way up to 20GHz.

It'd be interesting to redo these measurements at the frequencies of this blog post. I think they're doing the measurements at 28MHz?
For anyone interested in NeXT, I very strongly recommend Randall Stross's
"Steve Jobs and the NeXT Big Thing"[0]. The book -- written when NeXT was barely breathing and Jobs had been left for dead -- is extraordinary, and I think much more revealing of Jobs than Isaacon's biography of him. (Having read Stross, it is galling how little ink Isaacson dedicates to NeXT, as it's impossible to imagine that Jobs' experience at NeXT didn't shape him upon return to Apple!) If you're curious, we also discussed NeXT on Oxide and Friends, very much informed by Stross's book.[1]

Totally agree about the compressibility of metrics and toying with the scraping interval. I started out working for an enterprise monitoring vendor that had a proprietary agent that already decided sane intervals to emit metrics, when I learned that Prometheus let users configure that to me...just sounds like an expensive foot gun.

My real beef with metrics is at least for app layer insights is the waste. I'd so much rather have a span/event configured with tail sampling so you can derive metrics from traces and tie them to logs in a native contextualized way vs having to do that correlation on the backend and within different systems and query langs. Seems much more efficient and cost-effective that way, I'm scarred from seeing a zillion "service_name.http_response.p95.average" metrics that are imo useless

> Free speech is not under attack in Ireland

Please be specific. Which parts of the claim "The Irish government is proceeding with legislation to outlaw so-called “hate speech” – even after the vast majority of respondents to their public consultation expressed opposition to the idea" [1] are false?

Or is the photo of a page of that law, showing that possession of material likely to incite violence or hatred (with no mention of truthfulness as defense) falsified?

I understand some claims in that thread are speculative, but the majority is factual. Feel free to dispute the speculation, but please don't use it to trick people into thinking you've also disproven the facts the speculation is based on.

You’ve already missed the point - it doesn’t matter. It’s that peoples’ expectations change.

Insurance firms have anti-fraud teams on alert for coincidences like this. There would be an investigation.

Anyways, your example trivializes the stakes and power involved.
Yea, and i'm not making any grand statements or anything. Just what my experience was. I as a Juror felt woefully under prepared. It was kinda alarming, to be honest. They explicitly didn't want you to research the law even during the process, so they did want you (me) under prepared and "fresh".. but that didn't really mitigate the unease.
Yeah, I think if you were to configure things to run DLSS with an internal resolution matching native, you would get enhanced quality in all cases. I don't know how feasible it is to do that though.
> Command line UIs are still an order of magnitude easier to build than even the most basic web page.

I think by "interactive command-line apps", parent commenter is talking more about "TUI applications" like e.g. `htop` or `vim`- which are persistent/interactive and treat the terminal as an interactive, 2d canvas into which they render the program content. As opposed to what I'd call "normal" CLI applications, which typically render output and expect user input on a line-by-line basis. (Like most REPLs, or the various ctl programs like `kubectl`, `pgctl`, etc.)
I use ChatGPT4 privately as some sort of "ask monty python". Like, how many chicken, all simultaneously fed with neutron star matter in the form of rice grains, would it take to melt the whole moon etc.

Mostly it's kind of right, but the disclaimers around the results are what's killing me.

BTW: Add "Ask HN:" to your title, if you're asking a question.

This, plus the fact that nothing remotely competes with fossil fuels. The simple fact is that after fossil fuels, we will have less energy, and there is no silver bullet: we need to start doing less with less energy, and stop hoping for a technological breakthrough that will save us.

Bad news is that we still have enough fossil fuels to finish screwing up the climate.

Heck, 1.7 is STILL one of the most popular versions for the modded scene, and it came out in 2014 (because it was an unusually long gap between updates, as was 1.8 which a lot of mods didn't bother updating to due to not much being added to the base game).
>It's really not that hard

Famous last words of a software developer.

If you're making a small 2D game and are willing to make some tools for artists, then sure. You can get away with slapping together a few frameworks. But we are far past the days where you can make some decent 3D game at scale from scratch, unless you yourself are some unicorn of a "full stack" graphics engineer.

For tools programmers at least, generally the work you do is meant to enable the work other people at the company do - they aren't able to do it without you. Eliminating their jobs entirely is a different matter, even if that can also be done by a tools programmer. For creative tasks like game development the applications for full automation are usually narrower, so you're typically doing 'force multiplier' sort of stuff, like creating powerful macros or error checkers etc. Hammers and nails don't eliminate carpenters.

Most of what I did at that job was building a syntax highlighting editor w/autocomplete for game scripts, making builds faster, etc. Instead of eliminating jobs that mostly let us ship the same product faster.
The Instinct is probably the most practical smartwatch on the market. They did a great job with it. I had the first generation for a year and a half before making the jump the Fenix. The full GPS came in handy a handful of times (paddling down a river) but it was nothing I couldn't have used my phone -- other than that I think I probably could have been just as well off sticking to the Instinct.

We attempted to migrate from datadog to prometheus at GitHub and that stack did not cover our use case at all. So much tooling had to be recreated.

It might help your case if you suggest some.
These LLMs are trained to model humans - they are going to be penalized, not rewarded, if they generate outputs that disagree with the training data, whether due to being too dumb OR too smart.

Best you can hope for is that they combine the expertise of all authors in the training data, which would be very impressive, but more top-tier human than super-human. However, achieving this level of performance may well be beyond what a transformer of any size can do. It may take a better architecture.

I suspect that there is also probably a dumbing-down effect by training the model on material from people who themselves are on a spectrum of different abilities. Simply put the model is being rewarded when trained for being correct as often as possible (i.e on average), so if it saw the same subject matter in the training set 10 times, once by an expert and 10x by mid-wits, then it's going to be rewarded for mid-wit performance.
That’s consistent with what I wrote but I won’t rehash. I agree Microsoft should take those hits. (Count me as one who wishes Mojang had never sold, for multiple reasons.)
You, who wrote this here, spend more time and resources coming up with it, than Elon has time and resources to allocate for implementing it, after firing 90% of the company. It won't happen. He wants to free up space, and sell the names, with minimum effort involved. That's all.

Twitter is being dismantled and sold for parts.
The thread is spot on. The hate speech laws have a very broad and vague definition so governments can act on populist impulses.

In UK, some guys got arrested under this pretext for burning a cardboard pretending it was a Grenfell tower. How is this the governments business? At all?

But people demanded "justice" and so the police stepped in

Is building and testing an actual propeller going to be easier? I would have thought that setting up and running a simulation could be done in a moderate amount of hours, and could then be quickly iterated on. The only requirements are a laptop and an internet connection.

Building a model, on the other hand, could potentially involve a multi-year effort to re-educate yourself to learn how to build models, having to acquire hardware and materials, and setting up a lab for testing. And then building many different actual models.
>One caveat about about embedding based retrieval is that there is no guarantee that the embedded documents will look like the query.

> The reality is that most aspiring gamedevs won’t ship a game, partly because the tooling is orders of magnitude more complex than a simple rendering library, and because their aspirations to create the next COD is orders of magnitude more complex than building the next Celeste.

If I wanted to build the next celeste, sure. But Even if I did I don't have the brand recognition to sell as well as celeste.

I want to make a 3D game anyway, so that's big enough reason to let an engine do the heavy work.

Don't forget though that NeXTSTEP was also running on workstation-class hardware and priced accordingly (~$6500), vs. Windows running on late 80s commodity PCs (probably ~$1500-$2000) with lesser specs. For that kind of cost difference NeXTSTEP had better have looked and performed better.
