This reminds me I've talked a dozen times with a friend whether we should start a "Spanish Hacker News", right now the closest thing is small dev Slacks on a per-city basis.
It’s a largely reputation-based business; if they’re not helpful, the “Bob was useless” comments and reviews outweigh the “Bob saved me money/found the perfect house” ones over time.

> I think the big difference is the US is customer-focused, and the EU is employee-focused

I think this is simply untrue. US is profit focused above all, customer experience be damned. If you need examples, check Boeing killing people to get a plane out as soon as possible with ridiculously bad engineering choices; railroad companies skimping on decades old safety tech to keep profits as high as possible; healthcare being the quagmire that it is; massive companies posting record profits while laying off employees en masse; extremely customer hostile practices like like selling customer data everywhere; abusive pricing models on basic infrastructure like internet and mobile; etc. etc.

The only segment I can think about where you can legitimately say "customer-focused" is in hospitality, and that's only because employees have to, them getting any money depending directly on customers being very happy. For me it's to annoying extents though.

> in the EU they exist to employ people, and hopefully they provide value, but if they don't provide much it's fine because it's pretty difficult to start a competitor anyway.

Also disagree. That's not how things work, even in flag airlines, let alone private companies. And no, it's not difficult to start a competitor outside of capital-intensive market segments, which is the same everywhere.

I have the same feeling about OoT but I find many old games to be extremely playable. I think the difference is that the highly replayable games have very responsive controls and throw you into the action very quickly. I could probably replay original Legend of Zelda and enjoy it, but I actually did try with Skyward Sword and the game is too much in the player’s way too often. BotW was very good at getting out of the player’s way and letting the player do things.
That’s the wrong Ubiquiti.

I don't disagree, but I'm not making a defense argument in a courtroom, I'm making a logical argument about a proposed law on a message board.

I agree laws are not applied logically which is why they must be scrutinized logically before they become laws.
You're also not paying for their hardware. Like Apple, since they own both sides of the equation, the hardware is part of their pricing model.

Or the city can run a public campaign advertising these car models as prone to being stolen. That hurts the companies image, which puts pressure on them to get better. Of course it is cheaper if they don't have to buy ad-space for such an advertisement. Maybe they could use publicity around a lawsuit? Maybe that is what we are reading right now?
The history of progress is full of machines robbing people of learning to master difficult tasks.

Somewhat agreed on chatgpt specifically. Having in-IDE tooling that can take context and provide info, corrected for context, is more useful than having to jump to a browser, then copy paste. It's usually not much of an effort itself, but it does help minimize drift and helps keep focus. Every time I jump to a search engine to search, or SO, I'm bombarded with loads of info to filter out, then more to judge for relevancy. Tools that help reduce that filtering burden, and more context-aware relevancy, help.
Still blows my mind people still use gzip. 20 years ago I was expecting by this point in time for there to be lots of effort put into increasing compression and working towards getting that fast, instead its been a push for speed. It makes sense with how the internet has changed. These days gzip isn't even in the top 100 as far as compression goes, hell even something like RAR or 7zip are far back compared to the best.

Take something like enwik8 (100megs), gzip will get that down to 36megs, with LZMA down to ~24-25. The top of the line stuff will get it down to the ~15meg range. Thats a huge difference.

They said "underpowered", not "outdated" or "ridiculously weaker"
At a Python conference many years ago, around the year 2000, Eric Raymond gave a keynote. This was when his "The Cathedral and the Bazaar" was widely discussed, and he was pushing the then new term "open source".

He used as an analogy how you can go to <fancy restaurant>, taste something amazing, and ask for and get the recipe. Yet even though you could make it yourself, you'll still visit the restaurant because they have the skills and practice to make it more easily than you could.

By analogy, he argued, even if you release under an open source license, you'll still get people hiring your services because that's more effective.

Someone in the audience objected. He pointed out that he had worked at <fancy restaurant>, that the recipes deliberately omitted detail, and that staff had to sign an NDA - it was nothing like "open source".

I already had my doubts about Raymond's understanding of things. That was the final nail.

It is still a regulation, and supports the argument that a tool that can be used to do damage should have rules to reduce the risk and severity of damage where reasonable.

I got ocean->radio

My path:

Ocean-> waves -> amplitude -> radio

Solution path:

Ocean -> air —> radio

It seems odd that waves could be less closely related to radio than air.

I wonder if there’s some homonym issue with wave or something like that?

Edit:

Similarly, I got a random puzzle:

Heat -> Bar

“Pressure” seams like it ought to be a good guess. But apparently Heat and pressure are 29% related (ok! Seems reasonable). But bar and pressure are only 7% related despite a bar being a unit of pressure.

The solution was to add kilobar between bar and pressure, which is fine I guess.

Completely tangential, but I need to do some transformations on some CSVs and decided I'd just import them into a local database, run my SQL, and export. The CSVs had the literal strings TRUE/FALSE in a column. MySQL would require me to import into a varchar column and then transform; Postgresql automatically converted it as a boolean.

Plenty of big reasons, but it's the small quality of life stuff that makes a lot of difference.

This has nothing to do with patches. The problem is that when someone from EU intends to use the software of the dev from Nebraska, the dev from Nebraska may be contacted to provide a proof that their software meets certain requirements. The dev from Nebraska may don’t care, I would not… but the EU-based dev cannot use that bit of software in a bigger commercial part, even if the license allows it. The EU-based dev may opt for doing their own certification of that component.

It’s gate-keeping at its best. This is a blow to SMEs and a protectionist move on behalf of large enterprises.

In my head, the reasoning is the following: certification will be another bureaucratic process to follow. It will cost money, it will require human resources on both sides, it will feed some companies who don’t have to do shit to turn profit—companies started to feed on others as those who “certify”, it will most likely imply that someone from the bureaucratic machine will look into your source code -> trade secrets, anyone? Big players (not going to name them here) like companies like SA…, De… Te… have enough resources and financial backing to push through that. The point is, they cannot compete with OSS on dev pace, they found a workaround - kill OSS and impact SMEs by putting a legal barrier to entry.

On a personal note, as an EU-based person, I start getting fed up with this shit.

Yes, this is it. The MOP approach basically involves using ‘Object.assign’ to instantiate new objects from the metaobject. It is quite straightforward in my opinion, but that is relative I suppose. I don’t know if this is true but I’ve been told that Brendan Eich intended for this exact approach to be the one and true OOP in JS, but was persuaded by his boss to implement constructor functions to make it more like Java.

It seems to me that we have three great UI paradigms: CLI, GUI, and now LLM. The first is typically seen by normals as inscrutable and esoteric, the domain of computer "wizards". The second is "computer" in the minds of most normals, this is how you get University courses on e.g. how to operate MS office software, etc. The third, speech, is of course learned automatically as children.

From now on the kind of programming we know (and love, some of us) is obsolete. No one wants to operate symbolic calculators via janky teletype machines. No one really wants to learn boring video games like Excel or Word. We want to tell the computer what to do and have it do that. Well, now we can.

But that means that we, the hackers and computer nerds, are now playing with model trains. (That's my metaphor: am I writing code people will actually use? If not, then I'm playing with my model trains. Nothing wrong with that! Fantastic hobby! But I'm not starting a shipping company with N gauge trains, yeah?)

It seems to me that now, in 2023, most needful software has already been written, just as most needful technology has already been invented, and the focus of an organization like FUTO should be on simple open hardware, an open library of algorithms and DBs, and a simple LLM UI, all on top of something like Glamorous Toolkit. Plug that into an open IoT, declare victory.

> Interesting thought on what would work to persuade even the most staunch anti-climate change person

I have some thoughts on this matter, let me know what you think. There are two types of reasons, one pertains to other views which interconnect in the political realm and the other is in framing.

First, the largest issue is that "climate change" is often. attached to various political causes. When someone presents something as "We need X to do Y" but they believe Y to be wrong/immoral/evil they rightly will become suspicious of what's being used to promote what they see as wrong. There are all sorts of political causes and buzzwords which get attached that send certain groups signals not to trust what's being claimed (Note [1]).

Second, the framing of the issue is often done poorly. Large impractical and unpopular efforts are put at the forefront, i.e. the recent stove controversies, instead of framing the issue around energy independence and personal safety/wellbeing. Regulations are framed in a way that primarily appeals to certain demographics, making the opposition less likely to trust root claims. There are various other examples that could be made.

These issues make it very hard for people trust root claims. When someone presents something which you deeply believe is wrong, on any number of political issues, and then in the next sentence says "oh yeah the world is coming to an end unless you vote for me" it makes complete sense, id even say it's rational, to be highly skeptical of the claims being made (though ideally someone wouldn't remain in a skeptical phase and instead would dig deeper).

---

1. For example, there is often an attachment of climate change with racial grievance politics which are widely contested for independent reasons. Phrases like "climate justice" and others often inherit a certain framing which not everyone accepts. Whether you think these things are good or not isn't the issue, it's the perception which then causes distrust.

> The Wii's remote wasn't 'underpowered', but it was relatively cheap and added an interesting feature.

I'm not sure why you mention the controller or how to measure its power, but the console itself was definitely underpowered compared to PS3 or X360. Heck, it was comparable to 6th rather than 7th gen.
I've a really good pc under my TV that I pretty much only use for emulation. So I'm not anti emulation by any means (it's allowed me to put all my real hardware in a cupboard and not have a big mess of wires in my living room)! But what these videos never show is that emulation is a pain in the ass. There's always a nagging feeling that game isn't quite right. I end up spending more time tweaking settings than playing the game. If I get stuck I end up wondering if there's a bug in the emulator.

I don't own a switch but I'd much prefer to play a fully tested game the way the developers intended. My pc could run it no problem (rtx 3070 etc), but if I ever do play it, it will be on a switch.

Anyway your point is a bit differen, that Nintendo could make money on this etc.

You clearly haven't been paying attention to my comments if you think I'm saying anything like "drugs are bad".

I'm saying undue dependence on something that you didn't need to be dependent on, is unfortunate. As in, it's unfortunate how people can accidentally fall into caffeine dependence without knowing what they are getting into, because it's not that people don't think caffeine is evil, it's that people think caffeine is completely harmless.

Per instructions, word similarities are computed using word vectors[1].

Note that the relatedness of words will depend on the training set. Many of these word2vec-based games uses data that was trained on Google News[2], so if "Unrelated Words" uses the same data, you should be looking for word pairs that are more common in news but perhaps less common in general text.

Semantle[3] is another game based on word vectors. I like "Unrelated Words" better because whereas Semantle requires guessing one fixed target word, which is often very different from its nearest neighbor, this game requires guessing a set of words, the flexibility of which makes it feel less frustrating.
