Having worked with Scala I disagree it’s a safe choice. Scala is a huge, complicated, difficult language built on the huge (but very powerful) JVM. It’s also hard to hire Scala devs AND hard to train non Scala devs to write Scala, because it’s not a language you can learn in a weekend. (Speaking from experience)
It won't be permanent sequestration, though, or even necessarily long term. When these units are retired, their contained volume of CO2 will be reintroduced to the air, one way or another. In terms of scale, even several kgs of CO2 per person taken as a sum would still be a rounding error.

I suppose technically you are correct: a vanishingly small amount of CO2 is captured temporarily in units like these. It just doesn't matter for the issues where we need it to matter.
Self-care is a late-generation response to the effects of a work-focused/obsessed culture. The time-tracking/diet-watching/step-counting practices are the capitalistic response to people realizing they need to take care of themselves. It’s a feedback loop.

You can absolutely wake up and do whatever you want. The message you should take away from the self care movement is that your needs are important and you should address them.

That said, sooner or later you’ll hit the point where you realize you need to keep hydrated, be a little active, etc. You don’t need to track all that, but some people find it helps them keep it up.

So I don't see how an AR headset would be a problem. It really depends how does it look like though.
The remade world is better and more alive than the first game, the new runes allow for more meaningful interaction with it, and the weapons breakage feels a lot more natural with the addition of object fusion. The dungeons are also substantially more dungeony this time, but still not up to par with previous entries in the series yeah. It also made big improvements on what my biggest complaint with the first game was, which was enemy variety.

It’s not going to fix the desire for the game to be like the old games, no. But for those that did already find something to like in the original BOTW, TOTK is most definitely all around an improvement on the original and substantially more fun.
> A lot of companies in Eastern Europe were obliterated when joining the EU and our local market was flooded with goods made in the west since the local ones weren't "up to standard" anymore. Even today we still have a huge trade deficit with the west as we import far more than we export.

This is the definition of colonialism. Expect the deficit to continue as your state is a colony.

I grew up on Maui. The pineapple & sugar cane were farmed there with inexpensive labor. The raw materials were lightly processed & shipped to the mainland to be manufactured. The sugar & to a lesser extent canned pineapple (it was easy to get fresh pineapple) were then sold at retail to the residents of Maui. HC&S (the sugar company) controlled the agricultural fresh water, so no agricultural competition could arise.

The local residents were not happy & conducted social, religious, & political action which included adhering to indigenous cultural practices to gain some concessions.

If you study the history of Hawaii & how its monarchy was overthrown in a coup by US business interests with the help of the US military (to protect the interests of US citizens of course) & the events since, you will have a set of tools to keep what is rightfully yours. Of course Hawaii is now a US State with a large military base & munitions. Aquifers are polluted by jet fuel from the US Navy which it still has not taken appropriate action for. The struggle continues...
Gentle reminder that criticism isn't something you win or lose, and:

- art criticism isn't objective and is not majority-rule

- it is possible and healthy to criticise media that you enjoy

- negative comments about a game you like are not attacks on you
Here's how it'll go down:

* As soon as I get it, I'll try it for a few (3-5) queries

* If it's better (smarter) than GPT-4, I'll switch

* If it's worse than GPT-4, I'll quit and only retry it if they announce an update in the future that makes me think it might be the new state of the art

My expectation based on their API is that the intelligence of the model will be quite a bit lower than GPT-4.

If that's the case, then I think they'll be able to get some users who aren't willing to pay for ChatGPT Plus, but I don't think they'll get real usage.

(Note to AI companies - like all startups, don't be tricked by thinking you've built a product with product-market fit if you're giving away dollars for 99 cents - giving away AI products with prices below the cost of inference may look like you have PMF, but you don't. To see if you have PMF, charge enough to make a profit and see whether you still have high retention, usage, and growth.)

Very helpful post. From 1st year to 7 year is very important age of children for learning. We should have to give special attention to their learning and character building. Specially when they reached at age 3 we should prepare them for schooling. For this purpose, I concerned with a website for my three years daughter by preschool activities. It helped me a lot. Here is the website https://wunderkiddy.com/category/3-4-years where you may have preschool activities and will prepare your children for school.

Amen. Obsidian is a good example of what you are talking about. So many different icons I have to remember plus the way to search my notes involves clicking on what appears to be a text label (Files) to reveal the search icon.
The most annoying part is that security scanning is opt-in (I have it off) but I guess the service auto starts and auto downloads definitions anyway.

> Managers want to see their empire. Smaller companies will do what they always do: copy bigger companies.

I'm a manager at a smaller company and I can tell you we are very much aware that we are not a big corp and that "big co" things are not going to work for us. Me and the other managers I've worked with have read all the "gotta see your empire" comments on HN and other places and our general reaction is: "good, now I know what not to do".

I will say at my company, we were all in-office with maybe 5% remote in 2019, now that number is closer to 50%. We are seeing the advantages and the massage from higher ups (VP's, President, CEO) to all middle managers is: adapt or die. The way we look at it is, if we force RTO, all it will do is drive away talent. We now live in a world where you can't look up and see all your reports, some managers like it, some hate it, but the general vibe is: "we have to adapt (and no we are not Google)"
Yes? And?
I’m ok giving Google my money/data in exchange of this service. However they constantly increase it service over time : more functions, better quality, higher fps while I don’t need neither want it.

That’s actually the exact same story of how I ended up in computer science instead of pure mathematics. I was interested in pure logic and set theory, but I could flex the same muscles learning programming language theory and end up with much better odds of paying off student loans by the time I’m 30

Don't like data about your constituents being in the possession of a company with ownership ties to the Chinese government or communist party? Do the work to describe what kind of 'ties' are the ones that worry you, what kind of entities are the ones you don't like, what kind of data you don't like being in their hands, and write a law that codifies that.

You're not considering a lot of factors here. One of the most noncontroversial would be population size. Past human population sizes are little more than guesses, but the one thing that's for sure is that they were far lower, and probably in the low millions at some point. So modern humans would expect to have on the order of something like 8000x as many geniuses than ancient humans, based on population alone. Another noncontroversial one would be nutrition. Malnutrition results in impaired intellectual ability, and malnutrition was much more common in the past.

You definitely would expect to see a proportional number of outliers on a time scale.

I continue to believe that IF (and that is a big if) anyone can make AR/VR a mainstream market it would be Apple.

Just for the simple fact that Apple has in multiple occasions done 2 things:

1. Come out with something that shapes the rest of the industry. I mean how many times has Apple done something and within a year or 2 basically the entire industry follows.

2. Not captured a large (or majority) percent but continued to invest in a platform. I don't think anything they are in (except maybe the smart watch) do they actually have a majority marketshare but they continue to work on those platforms.

So there is a part of me that hopes that Apple realizes that this platform will be the same way. It will be a very niche product that will take years of iterating on (like the Apple Watch) with it in consumers hands to turn it into a mainstream product.

We have had too many failed attempts (Google Glasses and Microsoft HoloLens) just fail since they were not major successes right out the gate.

They also have the developer buy in on their other platforms that they may be able to transition that to this if they handle that properly.

That isn't saying that this is anywhere near a guarantee and obviously the hardware has to be there, the societal acceptance, etc. But I just don't currently see another company that is in the position to possibly pull this off.
As usual those exploits require the management interface to be open to the internet. Which you should never do to begin with on any router, and it isn't setup that way by default. Mikrotik is fine to have on WAN if you don't purposely make it insecure. Even Cisco has had similar vulnerabilities when you configure them in such a wrong way.
Doesn't matter. The problem is that passing the budget does not automatically authorize the debt to pay for it. All that needs to happen is welding those two together.
You are, of course, exaggerating a bit for rhetorical effect, but it is indeed too close to home. The bulk of my time was spent grappling with things that frequently give me a hassle on real websites.

Not comparable. HL7 is a machine interchange format - virtually no docs or healthcare personnel except those involved in informatics (and then generally only superficially) are familiar with HL7.

These NOTAMs were designed for human consumption and brevity, they date back to the 40s (debate about their ergonomics nonwithstanding).
To be honest, it feels like engaging in a cultural war. I don’t want to liken this to any kind of mainstream cultural war, but instead liken it to the old tech cultural wars, like Emacs versus Vim or some shit like that.

I feel like saying positive things about Go is a bit of a fucking minefield, because somebody (especially here on HN) is going to talk about how Go is Awful and Bad and made for stupid people or some shit like that. I’m tired of it. I’m gonna go hang out with the Java developers and the people doing work in Ruby on Rails or PHP.

> Infusion of traditional Business and Capital culture, which traditionally serves smoother-brains, the boring, and the unimaginative.

There’s an entire culture of people in tech who refuse, on some kind of principle, to understand or work with people in business / capital / management unless the people in business / capital / management somehow prove their street cred on the technical side. Like, the people who say that they can’t work for a manager unless the manager could do their job!

This is just a shitty echo of the “wow, startups are hard” cartoon panel. If you see somebody doing management or business poorly, and you think “wow, managers are stupid” then you’re falling into the same trap. If you think, “this is why you need a manager with deep technical expertise” then you’re falling into the same trap, but with extra steps.

If you want to work with people who have deep technical expertise, and you specifically DON’T value people with management or leadership skills (unless they also have technical expertise to justify their existence), then you have fallen into the trap and your attitudes are going to make the team more dysfunctional. You’re going to bring the team into conflict with other teams and with the goals of the business.

Anyway. This article doesn’t just promise flamebait, it seems to relish the flamebait, enjoy the flamebait. It seems to be steeped in the idea that pissing people off is a sign that you’re speaking the truth. I think some people have observed that people who speak the truth often piss people off, and then optimized for it. Goodhart’s Law and all that.
Agreed. The technologies will have their uses, like entertainment, training, education, and therapy, but it will never meet mass adoption for practical reasons like price, safety, and power consumption. I'd be curious to know why so many people think otherwise.
It still kind of is though. Most google-is-dead articles boil down to the fact that it is confusing and frustrating. That's at its core a bad (user) experience.

Approaching tools like search from an experience perspective is actually exactly what we need, because that's where it almost universally sucks.
If the wiki is not being updated anymore (or is it?) than why not just host the original one (not the current JS one) as a whole on github pages? Won't this save server costs?
> there was still very strong nationalism

Well, from a taxation perspective this is still a key issue. People want their nations to get tax money from international corporations. They are extremely nationalist in this sense.

> the EU overall would gain a lot

I don't think this is an automatic good at all. The EU bodies might gain some money, perhaps even enough to move the EU Parliament a few more times in the year, lovely for the not important EU administrative employees, but that will also result in higher prices for the important people: EU citizens.
FWIW I liked TUNIC more than TOTK/BOTW, in fact playing TOTK made me want to replay it again...
You are wrong there. Nintendo instead been always pushing the tech.

The NES, SNES, N64 and GameCube were part of the "bits race" and kept pushing forward in hardware power. Mario 64 is credited along with Wing Commander for creating the AAA graphics race at all costs behavior in the industry.

The Wii wasn't entirely a direction change, Nintendo felt competing on CPU power now was not interesting and went for motion controls, that later all other consoles imitated.

Then we had the Wii U that tried to mix TV with handheld. Wii U kinda sucked so they just tried it again with the Switch and made it portable. This again is spawning clones (steam deck for example).

I am not a Nintendo fan (I was on Sega camp during console wars and currently I prefer the Playstation) but Nintendo hardware always is impressive.

PS4 and 5 for example are boring, just mostly normal x86 computers with custom OS.
I have literally not noticed. That's damn impressive. I notice like a couple frames of upscaling lag when Melee is on an HDTV.

If the section of the 14th amendment regarding debts means that all US debt must be paid, I would interpret that to mean," If the debt ceiling holds interest on the debt will be paid and spending must be cut so that no more debt is incurred." Fortunately at the moment yearly debt payments are less than total US gov. income but the cuts would be drastic.

I understand displays is another beast but apple is doing complete vertical integration like no one else. Anytime they notice a dependency on specific vendor, they try to move out.
Due to my past experiences, I have not used it in a while, but I have always hated it (and that is not something I usually feel towards software). Such a terrible UI for a product related to art development is baffling.

That said, I understand there is a ton of open source engineering that goes into it, and I have a great respect for the effort.
> How one country can do it?

It is not one countries responsibility, it is every countries responsibility to retain their own talent and grow their own tech-sector.
How are they going to inject ads there though? Moreover, the cost per ad will be massive given how expensive the inference is. And a self-hosted Vicuna will likely behave similarly, potentially rendering the whole search experience pointless in the future. Anyone can incorporate a bunch of DDG results to a self-hosted good-enough LLM as well and make a basic desktop app for it, bypassing Google completely.

Models get smaller and perform better, requiring less GPU hardware.

The "hallucination" problem persists.

More prompt programming tools are created for AutoGPT-type task processing.

Lots of companies spend lots of money to roll out LLM-based apps but most fail because user adoption and rejection due to poor performance/hallucinations.

The successful solutions will be around assisting content creators and programmers (co-pilot, journalism, graphic design, etc.)

Will be built into internet search (google/bing) and office tools (word, excel) but won't be the primary way work gets done.

The big deal here is releasing the model pre-trained. The training part would cost $1M in compute costs if you had to do it in-house.

The idea is that a company or developer downloads the model already trained on natural language. Then you add your additional documents and data and prompt it for answers internally, rather than through a service like OpenAI.
I am sure that's true among economists and sociologists. To the layperson (me), the way I usually hear it from other normies and in media, GDP per capita is the metric that translates to QOL. Unless you are listening to Planet Money or some niche econ-related media. Even then there's a lot of bad economics infotainment that uses GDP in this way.
Splatoon is an amazing franchise. Advanced Wars also has real potential. I'd buy a sequel to Arms.

The most significant long-term problems they created were probably exempting rich people from Social Security taxes on more than their first $125k of income and Medicare plan D, both of which created massive time bombs as the boomers headed towards retirement. The longer we delay dealing with those, the harder it’ll be to close the gap — which is exactly what they were counting on to build support for privatization.
