That's a state of the art magic 8 ball if I ever saw one.

Perhaps if you provide an API to it you'll secure billions in funding in no time.
I'd never do that, I'm not against subways and buses at all. Let's then ensure that the city pays for that through city taxes (sales, property) and bus/subway tickets, instead of the Federal or State governments.
Even so, that's just using a cart and a hired one at that. I mean the analogy of a horse to a car (as in something you owned personally and rode around on) was never really true, at least in cities. Also, speaking of London, the Underground is surprisingly old -- the first parts of the system opened in 1863. Yes, Sherlock Holmes is often depicted as going by hackney, but had he really existed, he could have ridden the Tube.
By the way, Google Earth VR (2016) provides a similar experience but in virtual reality. Seing 3D graphics with depth improves a lot the experience.

You also have some nice features such as the possibility to grab the sky to rotate the sunlight.

This demo looks nice though. The post processing has nice colours, though the fake chromatic aberrations may be a bit high.
Of course not. My point is not about _how_ companies ban it, or how their IT security policies work, but rather that I think they need to offer an approved, internal alternative. Employees are clearly clamoring to use this type of technology and increasingly see it as necessary for their work. Trying to ban something without an alternative in place (or with draconian "we'll fire you if you try to use it" policies) is where you start to run into trouble.
Canadian here can’t use it yet. Does it have access to preinstalled iOS apps like reminder? I use them daily with Siri which I really can’t be much fond of…
Unfortunately you're not allowed to ship these files with your game. They have to stream directly from Google's servers for each user (caching is allowed as long as you follow standard caching rules).

A chunk of Manhatten I extracted is about 30mb glTF, but 7mb with all compression options in gltf-Transform (https://twitter.com/Omar4ur/status/1657361031763578881). But this is not the highest resolution available.

In languages like D you get all the productivity of having a GC by default, with C++ like RAII when needed.

Using D only as an example, there are many others since Xerox PARC's Cedar, CLU and Algol 68 came to be.

So maybe some GC languages left to try out?
The one thing that is presently missing from the equation is integration with any of the existing AI detection tools. Despite their grand claims, we’ve found them to be stunningly unreliable, primitive, significantly overpriced, and easily outwitted by even the most basic of approaches. There are three or four that we use for manual spot-checks, but they often contradict one another in extreme ways.

This just about says it all, does it not?

The real trouble will start when people will start PREFERRING bots.

Maybe.
It isn't now, but as we approach an inevitable singularity, whether it's in 100 years or 1000 years, what then?

Are we gonna fall prey to the scifi trope of "let's all be racist to machines", if so then I wouldn't hold it against AGIs to fall prey to the scifi trope of "I am gonna b evil now, bye bye humans".
Is the current bleeding edge CSS techniques to base everything off a base "px" value?!

I would imagine things would have progressed to have decent points or some other measurement based on screen actual size by now.
Cute, clever. There may be edge cases it doesn’t get right (parallel downloads/copies) but pretty useful when you’ve launched a job and didn’t think ahead of time to ask for progress.

I’ve used a signal handler (SIGHUP aka control-c) before as a “show progress” mechanism that I found very useful to monitor long running processes that were compute not io related (launched in screen fwiw to stay the active process).
I read that in the article and meant to scratch Signal off the list but never did. Fixed now. The idea that they could stop any criminal accessing some sort of alternative E2EE chat incredibly easily despite this bill is really a commentary on either how pathetic their technical advisory team is, or how little they listen to said team.
Makes my laptop fan run noisy.
Yes, it is not the same thing, but you could also voice the same complaints against city centers without car access. Most urban malls I've seen have access from the sidewalk and parking underground.

> Malls can kick you out for loitering or if they don't like how you look.

That is probably a huge advantage in most people's eyes.
The thing is that "safety" isn't just about like, whether you'll actually die or be injured.

Spending time around degenerates degrades your life. It changes how you see people around you. It makes you see other people as threats first and people second.

Trauma is real too. Seeing someone nod out from being on drugs, or fights, or whatever else, puts you on edge.
I find tools are very helpful to reminding me of rules I forgot to apply, but they can only detect a limited subset of places where I forget to apply tools.
The Ancient History of Kissing
`rsync` interprets paths a little differently than cp (such as trailing / or no trailing / on directories). Do you have a convention you normally call this with to avoid differences in behavior?
It's interesting you mention Shopify and how they use chatgpt. Yesterday the founder and CEO of Shopify, Tobias Lütke, sat down for an interview with Sam Altman.

The article doesn't make any distinction between people who are infected and will never express symptoms and people who are within the incubation period before symptoms onset. Or rather, it seems to only consider the former. I believe pre-symptom infections are much less rare.

Besides, it was well known that PCR tests were not correlated with infectiousness. Michael Mina, an infectious disease expert, has been advocating that rapid antigen tests should rather be used to identify infectiousness.

Thats just not true. In fact until very recently Unitedwere by far the more popular team in this city, the meme came about as they have so many fans from outside the city as well.

Also, to the poster who mentioned Stone Roses, No, they are united fans.

In fact until Oasis the only celebrity city fans were bernard manning and curly watts from corrie
No, I hate the office.

Distracting open floor plans, no access to healthy foods, not being able to see my children throughout the day.

I live less than a mile from my office - and I still WFH full time.
Way overestimating the cost of rural land.

You want a roof, build a roof. You want solar, build a solar farm. You should no more put solar over other structures than grow radishes up there. It's a terrible idea from every point of view (except eco-theatre).
There are a massive number of windows applications that end up with special consideration around .com, and any potentially executable content like .exe, .cpl, .scr and others. Also, .com tld was created around 4 years before the word cybersecurity was coined. So you have really old stuff that was created before the vast majority of modern internet software was written and that ecosystem grew up with the expectation and quirks of the behaviors of the tld. Simply put when .com files were common, internet users were far less common, and generally more experienced computer users, and the number of bad actors was far lower.

Way back in the IE3/4/5 days visiting a .com website would commonly leave files with a .com extension in your temporary internet files with random non executable content inside the files, which made anti-virus really happy. Microsoft went about hiding the temporary internet files in more convoluted fashion over time also so the end user would not stumble upon it.

Now with the .zip domain, we're getting back into new and fun issues with file:// vs https:// context.
I added "-buy -shop" and it outright just told me no results were found.

ChatGPT is a godsend for junior developers, it isn't very great at providing coherent answers to more complex or codebase specific questions. Maybe that will change with time but right now it's mostly useful as a learning aid.
Sure, but it’s not like socializing isn’t necessary in business. While obviously public spaces can (and are) used for much of that, sometimes you need a private space for that aspect as well.

Lots of business will continue to have some office space, if only for in-person meetings, or for people to work from the office on days that they have meetings.

I do think that there are intangible benefits that come from being at the office in person, but I work remotely 98% of the time, so I’ve clearly made my decision as to the trade-offs lmfao
Just some context - this is not me, but former colleague of mine :-) (even though we share the same surname)
Probably little. Because the tree is flat and wide, different tree layout algorithms have little effect on the overall compactness. However, I guess it might be improved by using an outline view like Workflowy.

The M2 doesn't even hit 30fps at 1080p. You also have to consider the power draw limits they set on these 2 chips placed near your eyes compared to a M2 running in a laptop with lots of heat dissipation.
Same here. This should be illegal: not really different from racism in my opinion.
Well, CSS pixels are not literal device pixels, they are kind of like the Android "device independent pixel" measurement.

The exact definition evades me since it's been a couple years I did any web development, but your px-based sizes won't look tiny on high-DPI screens.
Microsoft created it to incentivize devs to stay on Windows for their dev machines instead of switching to macOS or Linux. It has no other purpose than that. As a result, that many more people are staying on Windows and Linux popularity/growth/development is somewhat more throttled than it otherwise would have been.
Dr. Henderson of smallpox fame would have never implemented any of the questionable Fauci protocols to include masks. There is a video of Dr Henderson explaining why extreme measures should never be forced on a population. It destroys trust in the government which is exactly what happened.

* The Henderson video I believe is from 2006 but even Fauci stated mistakes were made with force by the government on masks and vaccines. Henderson was saying from his own experience forcing people to do something creates distrust. People are still very upset about it. None of that happens if it was voluntary.
People still think about it in quaint ways.

Spammers are a minir annoyance. I have one word for you: swarms.

Swarms of sleeper accounts can be deployed with existing technology. They can astroturf revolutions, rile people up against others, make reputational attacks at scale — and perhaps most destructively, they can overwhelm anyone with a different viewpoint, with 10-1 content ratio (eg I could deploy 20 bots on HN to downvote and argue with the people who disagree with me ad nauseum).

As you can imagine, forums could use “grandfathered” accounts to sort of mitigate this. But when regular people start preferring bots, it is game over.

You think it is hard for bots to endear themselves over humans? Karma / likes / upvotes is actually a measurable and gameable metric, and the bots can excel at it better than humans. Not to mention if you own a dating site you have access to all the messages that have ever worked to get a date or get a laugh. HN anyone can analyze the type of messages that got the most upvotes.

We keep analyzing one bot among 8 humans at a poker table. No one seriously considers the exponential jump to 1000 bots surrounding every human.

At best - we are building a zoo for ourselves. But we can’t stop!
Yeah, toggling a checkbox should toggle the checkbox.
I live a mile from all three schools (they sit on the same piece of property). It's a mile away. There's a trail through the neighborhood to get there and there are zero road crossings (one short tunnel that's 2-lanes long).

The kids are bussed. So, they walk the length of the neighborhood and wait 10-15 minutes for the bus. They could quite literally walk to the school in the same amount of time.

Even worse, many of the parents drive the kids to the end of the neighborhood (all of 2 city blocks, though we're in the 'burbs). And then wait in their cars, engines often idling, watching the kids stand around.

The parents could walk the kids to school and most of the way home again in that time. Assuing they leave from work the second the kids get on the bus, they might save 5 minutes.

It's ridiculous.

Meanwhile, I walk a mile the other direction to the office. I have to cross a 6 lane highway (signaled intersection, but still a mess). One side is housing and golf course, the other side is offices and retail. There is no sane way to get from one to the other without a car. It's some of the laziest urban planning I've seen. And this area (Reston VA) is better than average by orders of magnitude.
I read your comment and thought that can't be a unit of 1, it must be a typo and a batch of 1000.

Then I clicked the link.

But that can't be. Don't they appear in all kinds of things now, from washing machines to fire alarms? So I checked Alibaba, which has 8088s from $0.3 - $2. [1]

I'm confused why the military version is three orders of magnitude more expensive.

Intelligence as efficient model building
Good to know! You could run qemu without hardware virtualization. For old apps, I doubt you'll notice the performance loss.
Not true for all of the US. In the SF Bay Area, at least, we had 100% occupancy rates for significant periods even after home quarantining was established.

I guess it's due to the high potassium levels. It's considered a health benefit, though I guess be careful what you drink with it and when.
Think of this as a cheap-ish roof first, and a solar generator second. If all your cycle commuters switch mode when the weather isn't super nice they don't reduce the capacity needs for driving or public transit at all. Keeping bike commuters on bikes in inconvenient weather can be very valuable, compared to the cost of keeping all that idle-unless-rainy capacity. The success threshold of this project is recouping the premium over a corrugated sheet roof. And once you start considering north-south connections an angled roof stops looking that obviously superior, it might well not be worth the effort. You can't just do south-facing rows like a standalone installation of your primary goal is keeping the rain and snow out.
>It’s really hard for someone who hasn’t lived it to really understand what it means to be able to walk to the shop. Then compare to when that’s not physically possible.

I got you, friend. I grew up in the USSR, where private cars were luxury and public transit was so abundant that people referred to locations by the subway stations. The cities were designed for the citizens without cars (no parking anywhere, "microdistricts" in the newly built areas). It objectively sucks. I now live in the USA and can compare, if you have any questions I will be glad to explain what the life without a car is really like.
Add "kit". It worked for me.
One of the reasons why I bike to work every day is to get some DIRECT light from the sun. Many kinds of research have shown the positive sides of it.

If I live in a hotter (and humid?) place, i.e., middle-east or SEA, I would love the idea. But, to have that in a colder place, i.e., nordic, I'll make sure to pick other routes without the shades. :-)
Britain's headlong slide from silicon supremacy to silicon irrelevance
The fact you can even read a not-really-"9px" font on a retina display highlights how wrong browsers get things when they try to move too fast to quickly patch things. and more importantly, when the companies selling the new displays get a say on the html/css spec.

yeah, chrome and safari supported retina displays on day one, but at yet another huge consistency nuclear bomb that we now have to remember forever.
But what is it that you want to do with these retro computers beside playing Wolf3D?
As you mentioned even the most basic of RPi can run the pants of the Atari ST machines, so it is hardly a fair usage of the computer if you want to do modern tasks.
Maybe we will finally get a robust ecosystem of micropayments on the web
> I assume some many continue to exist but employees will also have to get used to large pay cuts if that's a hard requirement for them.

In my experience, the employees that have to go into the office are generally the ones that get paid less than the ones who can work from home. I'm not really sure how you came to that conclusion.
I'd say use GitPod over Codespaces. Originally Microsoft had VS Code Online before they migrated it over to GitHub's ownership.

When it was under Microsoft it was rock solid stable. I never had issues with it. When they migrated it to GitHub they removed access to everyone that had been using it for months and failed to migrate users across.

Months went by of waiting in the GitHub beta list (for something I'd already been using...) and by the time I got access to it again I couldn't believe how much worse the service had become. It has degraded a lot.

Sometimes ports get "stuck" and require a full container restart, which took time, so I ended up writing a script to randomise which port the service I was writing would use. Sometimes it had errors with saving files and they'd just vanish.

I've found GitPod to just work. I only use these services when I'm on the move, and use my desktop when at home. I couldn't imagine relying on Codespaces at all.

AI development after the EU AI Act (May 11 update)
>> Alas that money is not in the hands of those who need them.

Well literally everyone needs a home so I have to disagree. No matter who has the money, they need a home. It's not like only a small number of people in Ireland have money.

The issue now is supply. When there isn't enough of something it always gets expensive. The fix is not necessarily to build more cheap homes, it's just to build more homes, period. Even if they're only affordable to middle class people, that's fine because it will free up the cheaper places they're living in now.

>> I'd suggest that it is absolutely clear that it is essential for the state to build and provide housing, given that there is a massive crisis which the market is utterly incapable of addressing.

Why do think the state is capable of addressing it better than the market?
If you want to only build and maintain a single runner image that works for multiple projects in your organization you would be interested in doing something like this. Why? Some generic CI/CD setups are simplified if you share a single runner image. One example that I’m using is actions-runner-controller. It wants to use a single image per instance, and it’s simpler/easier to manage one installation of actions-runner-controller. Maintaining security and dependencies is easier for a single image as well.
As if terrorists really care about the legality of the app they're using.
> Why does only one country get its data subdivided by ethnicity? I imagine that most countries have some groups that score better than others. Most ethnic minorities in Asia are "Asian", but in the 21st century there are plenty of non-white people in European countries.

The US is an outlier among developed nations in terms of both numbers and composition for its minority population.

Example: The UK is 86% white. <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demography_of_the_United_Kingd...> Of the remainder, 7% are "Asian" (which in the UK almost always means Indian subcontinent, not east Asian as in the US) and 3% are black. By contrast, 13% of the US is black, and another 14-15% are Hispanic (of which about half are white). In other words, the percentage of the British population that is not white is about equal to the percentage of Americans that is black.

Plus, as I said, the huge gap in US PISA scores is between whites/Asians and blacks, not white and Asians. There are severe social dysfunctions among the Muslim portion of the British Asian population, but the non-Muslim portion performs very well on social and economic indicators.

Example: The largest Canadian non-white ethnicity is south Asian, at 7%, followed by Chinese at 5% and black at 4%. (Which is why I said that the ethnic composition of Canada is essentially white and Asian.)
"modern c++" is an expression people have been using for 20 years.

The reality is that C++ can be used very well and very badly. What makes C++ code good or not is not defined by the fact it's more or less C++, but rather by who wrote it.
It looks rather general-purpose (for ML tasks) to me:

Each PE is equipped with two processor cores (one of them equipped with the vector extension) and a number of fixed-function units that are optimized for performing critical operations, such as matrix multiplication, accumulation, data movement, and nonlinear function calculation. The processor cores are based on the RISC-V open instruction set architecture (ISA) and are heavily customized to perform necessary compute and control tasks.
Wouldn't the actual human answer be to put the flat items at the bottom of the stack, then just put all the non-flat items on top?

GPT4's answer does show spacial reasoning and creativity, but it's still an overly complicated solution.

I wonder though how the exact answer looked, i.e. if it did step-by-step reasoning or if it generated the answer first and then rationalized an explanation post-hoc.

It would be sort of funny if it started with "Let's put the eggs first" based on a random token sampling of the word "eggs" and then had to come up with a contrieved solution how to actually build a stack with the eggs at the bottom...
"It's not new, it's caused a lot of problems, and we're going to make it worse"

What's really stupid about this is a huge number email systems just outright block things like .com and .exe attachments of any kind to avoid direct executable content. Zip content is generally allowed, but typically scanned.

Well, not to maximize user confusion we're adding a new context to one of the most common file extensions in email and downloads there is. Yay Google, thank you very much.

Random aside - I know formatting discussions border on the religious (and why something like gofmt is the only correct answer & yet I am also good with spaces for Python) but..

Did anyone else look at the code and ask themselves- what is the actual formatting standard being used?

Looked like a mix of “open brace on same line, 4 chars indent for code” then “open brace on new line, code at same zero indent”

Not a big deal obviously. Just something that tripped up my eyes scanning the code.
