You have a point, but I would submit that "desecrating the man's legacy" is a bit ... shall we say ... over-the-top ... rhetoric?

I assume that you have known many, many folks like him (and like me), and are comfortable being extremely and overtly judgmental.

Too bad. I looked at your GH profile, and I suspect that we'd find a lot in common.
Completely agreed, and I use this if-based early return syntax frequently! That being said, I like using `if` and `else if` and `else`, but maybe that's just me! I don't think there's a substantial difference in readability or utility.
+100 to this, any time I get an 'emergency request' coming in like that I flat out tell them this is not going to happen, I can't do it given the time constraint. I didn't used to do that, but I got burned too many times and it hurt my mental health scrambling to meet someone else's fabricated, and usually self-inflicted deadline. My well-being is so much more important than somebody else's lack of planning. My usual strategy for dealing with this is saying "Sorry, I can't help given the time constraint. Since it's an emergency maybe we should bring this to the attention of <relevant manager 2 levels up>?" and magically the 'emergency' goes away and I never hear about it again.
It's up to you. For me, I may write the parts I presently find most useful in detail. And some high-level summaries for reference. Then I can search my notes to know what book I need.
On the flip side the code bases I’ve worked with that were built with exploratory coding, instead of deeply understanding the problem and designing a solution, tend to be buggy, slow, and stressful to work on. I think it’s a balance like anything else.
Not sure if it works 100% of the time but if you can't get it to display in Reader mode or find some other way, sometimes refreshing and hitting the "x" in the address bar at the right moment will allow the content to populate before you cancel the rendering of the paywall/signup crap.
Did I miss some news? What new studio?
I do that quite a bit as well. But generally the ideas here and on Reddit (including the ones I share myself) are pretty lackluster.
Definitely this. It would be great if HTMX has a similar path to jQuery, where the browsers adopt enough of the features as native that it is no longer required.
Timing is everything and they had bad timing.

The time for this company might still not have arrived yet. I just don't see what they could have done at the time and either way Covid would have bankrupted them.

OP is really just a polarized rewrite of this, with some inacurracies sprinkled in and dystopic illsutration instead of footage and photos.

PaperWM and the concept of a scrolling window manager has become the next best thing for me. I cannot believe how productive scrolling WMs are! It's almost like having multiple monitors on a laptop and the efficiency that comes with switching windows using touchpad gestures is unmatched.

I highly recommend this if anyone wants to try out a new way to use their computer. It's not as complicated as most other WMs and is extremely simple to use. The shortcuts are intuitive as well:

- Super + R = Resize Window

- Super + Left/Right = Switch Windows (or you can do that with a touchpad swipe)

- Super + Ctrl + Left/Right = Arrange Window Order

- Super + F = Full window width

>"where every transaction you ever partake in is authorised and recorded by a privately run commercial bank"

Isn't it the same in The West bar cash transaction?

>"If such a bank does not like an enterprise – such as Wikileaks – it can just freeze it out"

Same question again. For example in Canada they did just that during tracker's convoy.

I am not telling we are at their level (yet) but the direction ever country seems to be moving in looks like for more government

Success is personal. If your goal is to increase the amount of wealth for everyone then go for it.

With that said, remember the following. While the economy is not zero sum and we can increase the amount of wealth in the world, power is zero sum. Power is finite and very scarce. You can create tremendous wealth and later find out it ended in the hand of a single person. And that person is not willing to share.
"Do you hear those, your highness? Those are the shrieking things I'm going to pay rent with!"
Personal success. He's certainly done a lot better personally than 99.99999% of people who have created something of value.
> From what I understood, the Dutch iDeal system (which I love) might become a European standard.

What can you tell me about iDeal's privacy aspects? Does it allow anonymous transactions (here it mght make sense to distinguish between

- non-anonymous entity sends money to anonymous entity

- anonymous entity sends money to non-anonymous entity

- anonymous entity sends money to anonymous entity;

"anonymous" is here to be understood as "anonymous to iDeal", i.e. iDeal has no practical chance of de-anonymizing this identity)?
People who are polite don't discriminate based on silly lines on a map or anything based on appearance or even invisible traits.

As far as I can tell, Google (but not YouTube?) does search YouTube transcripts.

I have successfully Googled text in a video's transcript and found that video.

The transcripts themselves are pretty bad though (Google's using old tech).

They're usually good enough for auto-summarization though.
Just one mention of India Stack and no mention of iSpirit/Sharad Sharma at all. They were the brains behind it all. I hope they do something with LLMs as well.

Well, it's pretty old at this point come to think of it: https://kojimaproductions.jp/

Still though, a story like OP's fills a Metal Gear-shaped hole in my heart. It would be awesome to see Kojima return to military fiction with a new IP focusing on a timespan he hasn't played with yet.
Yes, I do think the extra parens are less readable.

Its not about number of characters, its about reasoning that the inline function that you just wrapped in parens is then called later, potentially after many lines. At least with `run` it's immediately clear based on the name that you are running the function.

Edit: This is pretty funny. I'm a parensaphobe! (not really) https://www.reddit.com/r/ProgrammerHumor/comments/qawpws/the...
The Xeon Phi is one of Intel's missed opportunities - it could have been positioned as a virtualization workhorse, but only the last iteration got VT-x and VT-d extensions.
I am pretty sure "WeWork is a platform" was actually something they pitched. Or maybe it was WeWork as a service.

WeWork labs was the most genius thing though. Build a tech lab straight up for no other reason than to have a tech lab for the optics of having a tech lab.
Awful places? I believe Arizona is one of the fastest growing populations of all the states ( too hot for me personally )
I simply love UPI! I have seen this firsthand in remote villages and it has completely changed how small merchants accept money. Recently, while I was in Goa and even out in the ocean off the coast, the ease with which I was able to make payments was out of this world.
How is it different from any digital payment? Many European countries and the US has been doing digital transactions for like 2 decades now. How was it not authoritarian then but suddenly when the Asian people do it, it's a way to track everything people does and not the simplest explanation which is it makes transactions easier?
The problem is that at the start Brennan admits that he briefed the president, VP, and others, that the Clinton campaign was about to do, what ultimately happened. So one report starts by omitting that fact, and the other does not. What follows is a variation of fruit of the poisonous tree.

> None of those five convictions "involved a conspiracy between the campaign and Russians"[162] and "Mueller did not charge or suggest charges for [...] whether the Trump campaign worked with the Russians to influence the election".[163]

The investigation led to other crimes, like being pulled over for a broken taillight and then getting busted for possession.

The mentioned satellite (OPS-SAT) is in orbit:

Plusses and minuses to each system. You don't need to pay the cost of transporting the cash to and from a bank (worst case is armored car transport), and electronic transfers have lower accounting overheads (no need to manually count). And modern credit cards have pretty sophisticated fraud/card theft detection nowadays.
where is this grey market? apparently it's not as simple as just searching aliexpress :)
I built a tool for myself for the purpose of grokking ideas from books called Emdash [1]. Over the years I've collected reams of highlights from books and articles but until recently, rarely reviewed or absorbed them. The core of this app uses on-device ML to show related passages with similar ideas from other books you've read, and I find that going broad and exploring concepts from different angles really helps in comprehension.

I'm testing out a summarization/rephrase feature backed by LLMs that you can try in the demo. In HN fashion I'm trying to build this openly and gather feedback to see what works. I'd like to push this further in the active direction the article mentions with something like a Socratic dialogue mode where you're nudged to re-explain and examine ideas.

If anyone uses this thing/has feedback, let me know. Source is available too [2].

I’m not sure how. And I laugh at HN comments all the time.

Is it not obvious?
Not really likely. I came from German and Italian Alpine ancestry. If anything, I am probably more white than many of my former white American neighbors.
Somewhat related but anecdotal—there was so much analog gatekeeping during my EE degree it really turned me off of analog electronics design. Some professors acted like nobody was worthy and delighted in ridiculous trick problems on tests to weed everyone out. Many also had the favorite student syndrome that you mentioned where everyone but X was an imposter. The industry also seemed to not want anyone in analog and semi manufacturing anyway or had very high entry requirements, although kept complaining about a lack of candidates publicly. I bet it’s somewhat different today with the resurgence of modular synths and hobby electronics, but I can only imagine that it might make some professors double down on the hazing mentality. All that is to say, in some areas STEM educators have serious cultural issues to work out before just blasting away with funding expecting results.
Pretty much what I do as well. I got a Notion account with links to all sorts of things from useful timestamps in videos to chapters in books and docs. It’s been incredibly helpful in contextualising my information when I gotta go out and actually do something.
The test bench is OPS-SAT, their wording makes it seem like their test bench is a satellite in the sky (probably airgapped from the rest of the satellites)
Upvoted submissions do contribute to karma, unless they changed that recently. AFAIK from observing my own submissions, the first few votes are weighted 1 to 1, then it decreases 2 to 1 or even 3 to 1 and maybe less. There could be some hardcoded thresholds or some continuous function rounded to integers.
Nowhere does it say that a crime must be surprising in order for the perpetrator(s) to be prosecuted.

It's authoritarian here as well, who said the opposite? Digital payments are a privacy nightmare.
Well, I'm convinced. On June 1, I'll be paying my rent in the form of $2,500 worth of raw fish left on my landlord's doorstep.
I'm so happy that payment rails services such as UPI, PIX and the like are getting more attention. This is a breath of fresh air compared to last years vile crypto fad.

I'm hoping FedNow in the US completely wipes crypto and the world will follow on from what India and Brazil has done. Bravo!
It's regrettable and astounding at the same time that a factual comment is getting downvoted.

UPI should absolutely introduce a facility to chargeback a transaction, which is why I always prefer to use my credit card, if possible.
I had to look it up. I like the word.

Those are centralized services, the idea is to allow the creation of decentralized alternatives that can still be used through familiar tools like the web browser.

Salaries for what? Marketing? Obscene bonuses? Downtown office buildings? It is a manufactured need.

I am simplifying things but if we had a public owned payments system that wasn't a profit centre the costs would be far less.

Even within the developed world the costs are very different between Europe and the US. Your fees are paying for someone's hefty bonus and lobbying expenses.

Again, it has been proven. UPI works.
Google does it, Youtube does not.

Google will find a video when you search for a phrase that was said in it (as long as its bad speech recognition got it right), it will find a video with a text that shows up on an object with enough clarity to OCR (for example electronic component name on a pcb in the foreground). There is one plot twist - Google will not always do it when you search for VIDEO specifically :) but will gladly give you videos when searching text/images :)

Youtube search on the other hand will try

- suggest something you liked that has nothing to do with the search term entered

- popular videos at this moment

- videos mildly related to proper results. One of them had a horse in it? clearly you want more horses!

- videos with title mildly related to search term

- to ignore upload date filter when they panic (Christchurch mosque massacre).

For example YT search for "Si5351A" limited to this month will give 11 somewhat proper results mostly with "Si5351" (no A postfix) in title/description AND some dude DXing in Indonesian "Menerima Modif Radio Yaesu FTC 1540A Ke DDS System" because "Si5351A" is a "DDS" so its the same thing right? Its like when Im looking for "NSR Ro80" you should show me plenty of other cars because Ro80 is a car :). Searching for Si5351A without quote marks will show one additional video with Si5351B in the title.

Gets better, searching Google Video for Si5351A last month also gives ~11 results, but only 4 of those are direct YT links :]
In Ohio, sure
not entirely true. semaglutide is a great example. the FDA allows compounding pharmacies to make semaglutide because wegovy/ozempic are sold out and therefore have limited availability. compounding pharmacies are allowed to sell their own royalty-free in this situation! wellsrx does just this (probably with chinese sourced semaglutide)
Indeed, but there is a catch - the Niagara cores had high thread counts, which creates issues with VM isolation. Single-thread designs are better for virtualization in that 1 core is one vCPU.

I tested Niagara boxes a long time ago and their price/performance for web hosting wasn't competitive with Dell or IBM x86.
I have been meditating for a few years now and recently decided to start building some custom meditations into my routine. I had a meditation for when I get out of the shower that helps me reflect on the day ahead. One that I listen to before work to let me put down distractions and think about what I want to accomplish today. Then I have one for after work to help me relax and separate my work mind from my home mind. I created these with the help of ChatGPT, and an AI TTS, and audacity to put it all together. I could have voiced it myself, but I found that it distracts me from the meditation when I think about my own voice.

Here is a sample one that I use to get out of work mindset: https://www.dropbox.com/s/r65gi7tk4str2h7/After%20Work%20Med...
> I am in love with “everything is an expression” from my time with Rust

Totally agreed! I wish JS had if expressions (maybe in the future?). It doesn't seem like such a huge change if it were rolled out slowly like other new syntax features but maybe I have no idea what I'm talking about.

Hopefully things like `run` can help move the needle on this. I like it because it feels more FP and intentional than IIFE's everywhere.
same here. also stumbled upon that via self-reflection. then observed that pattern with other people. as you say it's probably a normal and healthy impulse but one should not live it out and particularly not build a business around it. and yes, i also think that most communication is a weird form of soliloquy.
The most fucked up thing I heard is about people investing in artificial wombs.

You want to know the actual reason they’re doing this? It’s not because some restrictive laws were passed or to keep the physical toll low on the mom, etc. maybe it is, but that would be found in the marketing slide.

“We are too generous with how much leave we offer”

Everything is to extract as much value out of everyday things as possible. In this case, their thinking is along the lines of how can they can get women to stay in the office longer while the kid bakes at homes. Maybe offer a short leave after it’s ready. But the economy grinds harder since the woman employee didn’t have to take time off for doctors visits or to recuperate post birth.

Is in the US?
> Many European countries and the US has been doing digital transactions for like 2 decades now. How was it not authoritarian

Many German people are still deeply distrusting of digital money transactions (keep in mind that there were two dictatorial regimes on German soil in the 20th century, of which one only ceased to exist little more than 30 years ago).

> How was it not authoritarian then but suddenly when the Asian people do it, it's a way to track everything people does

These people typically rather think that Asians should not make the same mistake (ignoring dangerous surveillance aspects).
Note that I said overly judgmental. Judgment itself is part of the human condition. You can judge an action or choice without demeaning or dehumanizing the person. You can even do it from a place of empathy understanding and compassion.

The idea of that people shouldn't or can't judge any choice or action another makes is absurd at face value.
The choice of using AI generated images in this article is interesting.

In any case, that is my biggest issue with AA and a lot of other "abstinence" programs (particularly those mandated by courts): they all but mandate that complete and utter sobriety is the only acceptable way instead of helping people to moderate their consumption or to find out and fix why they are consuming substances. Someone who's in hurt because their partner died or cheated upon them or they lost their job or home (these four causes are behind a lot of addiction careers) doesn't need a sobriety program run by questionably or barely qualified random joes, they need professional counseling.

I'm sure that plenty of that $22B came from the sale of other inflated assets to buy into WeWork. WeWork isn't the only scam out there; the economy seems largely dominated by scams (things whose values are determined by their moment by moment success in hyping bullshit) and cons (things that make money by providing services enabling the hyping of bullshit.)
Why do you believe the investments made by the middlemen processors and banks are more worthy than the investments made by businesses who the consumer is directly patronizing?
Why is no one mentioning the hardware requirements to run each? The semantic version runs with 2KB of RAM and takes a couple of microseconds. The LLM needs at least 30GB of RAM and maybe 5 seconds of processing time.
Nitpick: Pix is free between people. Companies pay ~1% of the transaction
I think if anything, Semantic Web makes more sense with AI, not less. Not necessarily that we mark up web pages, but that formally defining an ontology that can interlink with other ontologies can help define the cultural boundaries we are seeking with ethical and safe use of AI.

For example, there is an old effort called Cyc, which is an ontology and knowledge base of common sense. Something like this can be used to align LLMs. However, what is common sense is not necessarily universal across cultures. The underlying ideas behind semantic web can be used for ontologies that don’t agree with each other.
Yeah it makes more sense but it's not what I do. In those days calculators had limited processing. These days I want tech to adapt to me, not the other way around :)
