If a person value- TypeScript's inline syntax so much that they disagree with the developers that build steps are a nuisance, then surely they can put in a build step for themselves—one that takes TypeScript syntax as input and then "compiles" it into the equivalent JSDoc so they're never forced to type out those long, long comments. (If this is disagreeable, then your position is a lot less consistent than you think.)
Self-adjusting code is underutilized IMO.

Hyperdimensional computing combines LLM-style AI with Lisp-style AI, making it possible to code within a latent space. Pretty weird, but cool.

Electric Clojure is pretty groundbreaking, possibly similar to React's impact once it gets ported to a more popular platform.

I think there are real opportunties going forward to build dedicated compilers and the corresponding runtimes for distributed computing and related algorithms and data structures. Really anything that is extremely error prone, difficult, or complex would benefit from building a runtime and compiler that simply solves the problem. MLIR has good infrastructure for that.

Oh goody, Mariupol is being rebuilt! Mostly as a vehicle for good old fashioned construction related corruption, and at a pace that'll take 50+ years, but hey, nice of you to throw that in there! Is the replacement of thousands of civilians butchered by Russia's "liberators" also under way?
I also don’t understand who would have wanted a 4 inch then a 5 inch then 6 then 7 and maybe 8 inches phones while their palms remained exactly of the same size.

This is not true. There is a big difference between a capacitive and active stylus. You must have your screen support an active sounds stylus.
Someone on HN has educated me that gpt4 and 3 should be on a similar param count. This is based on inference times of gpt4 vs gpt3.5 pre-speedup (where distilled version was used only post-speedup in the turbo version).

This is a very naive take on that duty. Executives have enormous leeway in deciding what is best for their shareholders. The idea that they are bound to every lousy "makes a penny today damn the consequences" decision put in front of them is absurd.

I love my Samsung ZFlip4, which feels much more like the old flip phones, but it also has a smaller screen on the outside with a few handy functions that keep my from having to unfold it. The form factor is just so comfortable and fits wonderfully in my pockets, including my breast pockets.
Parallel reductions are more heavy-weight synchronizations than locks. Say we have 64 partitions, then we need to perform 6 levels of tree reduction, or avoid parallelism completely and perform the reduction on a single thread. Either way it was slower.

The locking strategy very rarely had any reduction in parallelism due to the randomized lock-taking.

There were also other reasons, such as not wanting to replicate the filter per-thread.
BSing things is not faking things, though. for example: you can "bullshit around" and claim that you're working on getting your falcon 9 second stage reusable, and it's totally okay if you don't deliver.

After changing to Desktop mode it asks to add it to the home screen. I’ve add it and then launch it and, of course, the web app uses Desktop mode Safari and doesn’t work at all, showing the qr code.

Well done, Samsung!
“The Audience Applauded”

Great episode.
> (reportedly, lots of people in coding jobs take Adderal etc. to zombify themselves into this state, for the sake of making money).

I've definitely seen my fair share of 0 personality zombie-stare developers who are also somehow outputting 10x the rest of the team. While I can't confirm they're on Adderall one definitely has to wonder.

I guess the question I have becomes - is there anything necessarily wrong with that? If you spend the majority of your life at your job, why not do whatever it takes to enjoy your job? Maybe you die at 60 of a stroke due to sky-high blood pressure, but if you had a genuinely good time pounding out interesting abstractions for the previous 30 years then who am I to judge?

I'll voice a friendly disagreement. TLV is a useful disambiguating measure. If your V is of a fixed size and you have (length L array of TV) then it likewise works out that you never need an L inside the array.

Another way to look at it is that there are several ways of counting lengths. Some use byte size, some use structure size, some use entry count, and some use delimiting marks. If you unambiguously pick one to rule them all, limitations in document processing start to appear that necessitate translation to one of the other methods.

So in practice documents that humans make for themselves tend to add redundancies: we separate sentences with both a period and a space, we describe pages both spatially and with a count. We have separate symbols for the numbers 0 through 9, but we concatenate them to describe larger numbers.

Often the difficulty faced with a binary protocol specifically is that you're trying to optimize to more than one task. And you can frame what you're doing when you deserialize either in terms of "prepare a structure of this size, then fill it in with these values", or "execute this series of commands to build a structure". Either one could be contextually more efficient for a certain task: sparsity of data tends to favor the more imperative approach, while densely packed data is likely to benefit from an upfront declaration.

They do. My comment is not narrowly focused on FCP and LP on iPad, but on FCP and LP turning into subscriptions in general (which would inevitably follow), and other pro software already changed into the subscription model to the dislike of its user base (but to the profit of the issuing company).
I agree that if training data is what matters, it is likely that no one can compete with Google with Google Books, which scanned 25 million volumes (source: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/10/29/arts/international/google-...), which is approximately all the books.

DeepMind's RETRO paper https://arxiv.org/abs/2112.04426 mentions a dataset called MassiveText, which includes 20 million books of 3T tokens. So we know Google is using Google Books, since there is simply no other source of 20 million books. Also as far as I know 3T tokens is more than publicly known to be used by anyone so far: Google could train on more data than anyone else, solely from Google Books, even without using its web crawl.

Edit: it was 2005(!), so it is possible that many of you haven't heard of this. George Dyson, in Turing's Cathedral written in 2005 says:

> My visit to Google? Despite the whimsical furniture and other toys, I felt I was entering a 14th-century cathedral: not in the 14th century but in the 12th century, while it was being built. Everyone was busy carving one stone here and another stone there, with some invisible architect getting everything to fit. The mood was playful, yet there was a palpable reverence in the air. "We are not scanning all those books to be read by people," explained one of my hosts after my talk. "We are scanning them to be read by an AI."

Read the whole thing. It is not an accident Google got Google Books to train AI. That was the plan from the start.
- You can try premium

- It is not $60 steak equivalent. More like it is the price of McDonalds burger itself.

- It is not an untested product. You are getting an option to pay for the burger and eat it, rather than watch a 30 min ad to eat it for free.

People will hate Google/FB ad model and at the same time also not pay for a paid tier that removes the ads.
I wish they'd have a scale next to pictures (in this article and elsewhere). We're out in the woods a lot, but it's hard to know what to look for as you're walking along.

Pay for it or don't, but what is this nonsense about being poised (for a while) to maybe someday possibly consider thinking about purchasing the service?

It's $13. (In inflation-adjusted terms that's $7.12 the year I graduated high school.) What in the world are we talking about here? Buy it or don't. What is there to think about?
I just want to call out that unimproved land is not free land. Someone owns it, be it private citizens, state governments, federal governments, or private trusts.

Not to mention, undeveloped land (especially land flat enough for solar) is still being used, generally for livestock.
Wrong[0]. Algeria has an important role in the ongoing Western Sahara conflict, caused by its rivarly with Morocco. Also wait till you learn that Algeria has strong ties with Russia. Hint: they conduct joint military exercises and buy weapons from Russia.

> In particular, they're not invading neighbours, murdering tens of thousands of civilians or attempting to erase a culture and a language from existence.

Source for tens of thousands of dead civilians in Ukraine?

Btw following this logic what should we say about the USA with Iraq or Afghanistan? The count of dead civilians goes to the hundreds of thousands, and that's only counting those caused directly. If you add the civilians deaths caused indirectly by bombing two countries to ash then this starts to look like a genocide.

Because right now Europe is buying a lot more gas from the USA, all to the USA's profit of course. If the parameter of choice is "number of dead civilians caused by wars" then Europe should still buy Russian gas.

I feel like this unicode approach may be a better fit for how the rest of Hacker News is constructed (e.g. the use of the pipe character).
Yes agreed, I don’t mean to suggest that “high rates bad, high rates fake”. The manipulation makes the economy (seem?) fake either way. With the low rates though IIRC things didn’t happen quite so fast, so the causality wasn’t so blatantly observable.
People underestimate how rough SF has been in the past. Urban horrors inspired Dirty Harry some time ago and it was all getting seriously tired even back then.

There are also long term changes playing out. The Baby Boom flooded SF with weird energy. Today young people are less numerous and not as freaked out. The Crack Boom was in some ways similar to the Fentanyl, opioid, and meth craziness but back then the users tended to flame out violently instead of stumbling around like zombies. No es bueno.

As the HIV epidemic has played out at this point much of a generation of gay people have been killed off or disabled. In the past the need to mingle to meet others drove an intense urban subculture. Nowadays Internet dating serves similar needs but works differently and rarely if ever fills public spaces.
I wrote an article about this as far back as 2010. It didn't go over well then. ;)

That said, this phenomenon should not be used to justify exorbitant executive compensation that is very out of line with what the positions lower on the totem pole are capable of getting. We do not need that kind of society.

I'm not angry at Youtube for blocking ads; I'm angry for Youtube existing at all. It shouldn't have to.

AV content is pretty important to humanity. I want my government to tax me and spend the money on a public video repository.

When some garbage for-profit outfit like Alphabet is in charge of the world's video, I expect ads and garbage content.
Really?

Something has to pay for the infra costs.

Either tax money, ads or subscription fees. Choose one
Unprosecuted theft is still theft. You are breaking the terms of service, it's just not practical or cost effective to go after every person that does so because each individual damages are low.

I'm glad you agree it's unethical though. Keep that in mind when you see companies do unethical things because they think just like you. Everyone wants something for nothing.

In any case, this is why they're testing blocking ad-blockers. It's cost effective.
Strange. On my mobile browser it’s accessible without logging in and not in a private tab.
A registrar I use for my local domains (I'm in Australia, and use a local registrar for .au domains) has my CC details on file including the expiry date. They send me an email out a couple of months before the expiry date reminding me to update my CC details, which is nice.

You can use sponsorblock. But yeah you shouldn't have to.
I'll start by saying first that you are NOT alone. You haven't mentioned your age but I'd take a stab at you being somewhere in your mid 30s. By now, you've worked in the industry for long enough that you've basically seen it all. While yes, each job has nuggets of uniqueness, the day to day coding is mostly the same. Call this API, update this view, filter this array, fix this weird ass bug.

How do you keep it fresh?

I have a couple tips which HELP for me, but definitely don't solve the problem. There is no silver bullet unfortunately, save for maybe Adderall.

- Watch videos about coding and invest in the craft

- Learn about design patterns, not just what they are but why they are sometimes THE tool for the job.

- Adopt the KISS mindset and defend it furiously. Keep it simple stupid. Can you find a really simple, elegant solution to the problem? Maybe you've seen this problem 100 times before, and just solved it for a for loop. Is there a better way?

- Slow down. To do all the aforementioned things you need to relief the pressure you're feeling to output code all the time. Meditate, find peace in whatever outcome follows this decision to invest in your craft. If you spend a couple days off on YouTube learning about a cool programming solution, and your employer gives you shit, don't worry about it. There are many jobs, and what will be... will be.
Imagine risking jail and massive fines just to learn details about shitty UI changes.

It swings back and forth.

For a while, it seemed like DigiKey was doing some very shady crap with pricing. There were a couple times where I noticed that DigiKey was charging me MORE on certain components upon logging in. I dropped DigiKey like a hot potato for that and was quite vocal about it to the account manager as to why they were not going to get $250K+ of annual orders from us anymore. Mouser got all the business.

Sad to hear that Mouser is completely screwing up shipping--looks like it's time to go back to ordering from DigiKey and see if they've quit playing stupid games.
I moved to Outlook with a Microsoft 365 subscription after I found out you could have a custom domain tied to your email (via GoDaddy only, but you can still do it with the right DNS entries) and then made my Google account a free Gmail account.

I got way too sick of getting features months, or even years later, than consumer Google accounts. I wish they would offer a paid tier for Google/Gmail accounts that would allow one custom domain for email.
The Fold 4 stylus is Wacom, not a "dumb" capacitive stylus if that is what you mean (unless you specifically bought that). Maybe you meant no recharging needed?
You're being disingenuous.

I would be stealing if I prevented you from making money from it.
What you are describing is just wishful thinking. There is no business model which has just one tier with the perfect specs and the perfect price for millions of people, let alone hundreds of millions.
if so they got me good
Are you suggesting that Google might abandon a product?
The switch to the i.MX 8M was already going to be a thing during the Kickstarter if I remember correctly. The chip was also intended for automotive use and is much worse than the snapdragon that was out at the time. Processors are now an order of magnitude faster than what the Librem 5 has at fraction of the price with a much better user experience, with a much bigger app ecosystem, and with a much less bulky form factor.

>everyone who backed it, I guess

That was 6 years ago before it had even released. The value proposition of it now, especially now that people can see what it's actually like has tanked its desirability.

The issue with YouTube is that it’s not a cheaper alternative. I think a lot of people are like me and find it mostly of little value which is why they don’t pay and will probably just stop using it if they have to go through a ton of ads.
From what I’ve seen YouTube actually has fewer ads than broadcast TV and the ads are mostly shorter. It just seems like they have more because of the timing.

Broadcast TV generally syncs the ads with act breaks in the show. YouTube generally doesn’t seem to do any syncing with the content, so ads can suddenly happen in the middle of someone speaking. That’s way more disruptive.
I'm not sure. I don't know if it's even possible, but until someone proves it isn't, I'm probably going to keep thinking about it.
This is eerily similar from Street View images to the Mueller neighborhood in Austin. I imagine a South Park episode about all of this is not far behind.
Do you have an expired session that it is trying to revalidate? You can buy things through the store using your Google account, so that'd be my main guess.
At $1800, they aren't really pretending it isn't a niche product. I'd rather they were messing around trying to make a big screen in a small package than not.
cool. so I have a few thousand VMs of various OSs and hypervisors, a few hundred home-built applications with an average of 10 components each, some mainframe, some ibm-i, a bunch of linux, solaris, aix, and HP-UX server, and I'm using mysql, sql server, postgres, oracle, and a couple of DB2. there may be an informix DB or two somewhere - I don't know, I manage storage. about ten different volume managers, about 30 different filesystems - and some raw disks of course. 10PB total space, it needs to be metro cluster replicated ten miles away for active/active, and async in a different state can be about a minute behind max.

So, write me some software that's going to make all that work and make the storage highly available. make sure it works for everything.

you're exposed to solutions that make that work, daily. when you swipe your credit card buying condoms - you have no idea how much happens so your transaction doesn't get lost, corrupted, or errored out.
But you are cheating someone. The creators of the videos you're watching don't get anything when you block the ads. That means you've cheated them of money, on top of cheating the company of money.

It's not handed to you for free, there's an implicit condition that you watch the content and the ads that are served with it. Too many people don't do that and that's why YouTube is now testing blocking ad-blockers. You reap what you sow.
