We have to start creating criminal penalties for this stuff. We wouldn’t let someone go around knocking on doors, the same door everyday and sometimes multiple times, attempting to scam people.

At this point the phone system is unusable. If my doctors office needs to call me they’re SOL because I’m not answering a number I don’t know.
They're less common, but garbage and recycling bins are easily found if you make a modest effort to look for them. They're just less ubiquitous than they usually are in the west.

There's also a structural problem imposed by Japan's rigorous management of solid waste in urban areas. Single-stream disposal practically doesn't exist. If a municipality placed general waste bins on corners (as seen in many western urban areas), they'd have to have folks manually sorting whatever ends up in them, which isn't economical.
To complement this, the Acela has a top speed of 150 mph; it can only travel that fast for ~10% of the distance between Boston and DC though [1]. It fastest leg from NYC to DC averages 82mph (about as fast as driving on 95 at night ;) )

At first glance at the pic, my impression was it wasn't that impressive compared to other shots I had seen on the interwebs. Then, I saw the person for scale, and the meh went right out the window =)

I haven't been inside an RF protected room, but the eerie feeling reminds me of being in a professional sound proof recording booth. Once the door closes, you can't hear anything while hearing everything at the same time. It is surreal the first few times, and then it just becomes one of those things of going to work and you no longer notice it until you stop to think about it again.
Yeah. This would put a floor on working standards. Living wage. Health care. Vacay. Etc. Make the private sector compete for labor. Rising tide lifts all boats.
I answer it and leave the call going until they hang up. I don’t say or do anything else. It costs me nothing and it wastes a bit of their time. It’s a tiny rock in their gears.
Just go work a day in manual labor. You don't need to take a big risk to try it out.
Is It Real or Imagined? How Your Brain Tells the Difference
The non-ballistic variety that Russia claimed was unstoppable has been stopped several time in the past couple weeks now that Ukraine has Patriot systems. Seems like they’re not really a big deal at all.
I routinely go out and pick up trash along some of the nearby streets in my neighborhood. Unfortunately, my setup is not nearly as impressive. It's sad to see the amount of trash that people throw. Beer cans, drink cups, cigarette butts, plastic wrappers, beer bottles, etc. I pick up trash because I hate seeing it and the exercise is good for me.

What's the data? Be interested to read about this correlation.
You are not wrong and we are in agreement! :)

Trains bring more "these kinds of kids" to the mall vs private cars.

Nice weather brings more "these kinds of kids" to the mall as well (compared to stormy weather).

Now, where we do seem to disagree is the question of where the actual problem is. In my opinion, the problem is _not_ that kids are at the mall. The problem is that, apparently, these kids start to shoot each other while they're at the mall (!?! what the fuck)

Looking at _all_ the other countries that have nicer weather and / or better public transportation, we don't see kids shooting each other at malls. So I'd say that's a good indicator that the _actual problem_ can't be solved by restricting public transportation (or sunshine) but there has to be a different issue that needs to be tackled here..
Hi HN! BlockNote is an extensible, block-based editor (similar to Notion, Coda, etc.). Featuring different block types, animations (try changing block types, indenting, etc), menus, placeholders, collaboration and more you expect from a good editor.

BlockNote builds on top of Prosemirror and TipTap (two great libraries to build text editors for the web and work with ContentEditable and its quirks), but these libraries are pretty bare-bones / low-level("headless").

I hope BlockNote makes it a lot easier to get a great out-of-the-box text editing UX and am looking forward to your feedback!

I just added real-time collaboration to the demo on the homepage (desktop only), powered by Yjs & Partykit - definitely play around :)
Can I get my S4 back? I've never had issues with it, as opposed to constant S2/3 issues, and the startup is still faster than having to look for a cable because S2/S3 managed to drain all the battery.
To be glib, the part that answers the question "Who needs consume and why is it there?". As pointed out, Chen answers this incorrectly in the linked article. An upthread poster pointed out (correctly, though they skipped the justification) that Alpha needs this, but was then corrected (incorrectly, AFAICT, though I'm willing to be educated) that this feature was not for Alpha.

To be more serious: anyone who's ever tried to implement a lockless algorithm knows how hard this stuff is even if you have a clear and unambiguous set of tools to use to do it. And the C++ memory model is, as mentioned, kinda ambiguous.

At the end of the day, in practice these problems are solved on real hardware with real tools that look like "MFENCE" or "DSB" (either directly, or because you're reading the generated assembly trying to figure out how it's going wrong). That's exactly the opposite of the way a good abstraction is supposed to work.
Putting People in Their Place: Affordance-Aware Human Insertion into Scenes
Yes except people could just ditch HP and buy a Brother. It's not like printers are too expensive to replace.
There's a difference between a work of fiction having compelling themes and a political message and the way that some sci-fi fans seem to treat their favorite novels. There's almost a sense that the work is predictive rather than just prescriptive.
As a hiring manager, I know these roles are mostly non-technical, but right now hiring junior devs fresh out of college is easier than it has been in ~8 years.

It seems like the kids with no skills being offered ~200k to sit around and learn are no longer being offered positions. This year we have postgrads applying for internship positions (paid), and our incredible intern from 2 years ago who went to Apple is taking a job with us soon.

I have a Tesla from that timeframe and it has an am radio and it just works. Somehow they managed this in 2012. Others can do it too. Software is not always easy but we persist.
That might be possible.

Its been years since I listened to Wendy's "Secrets of Synthesis," but I don't remember her discussing long sequences or techniques like you describe. The implication is predominantly live keyboard performances.
It's happening in the Netherlands over the last two weeks as well. Many days where there are a few hours during which energy is either free or you get paid to consume it. (Taxation still makes it hard to turn profit - each consumed kWh is taxed at 0.15c regardless). Basically, if there is sun and wind, energy is very cheap.
Its not open source.
Its source available.
Well, it depends on the standard of abstraction that you accept. I don't think that ChatGPT has (or we've seen evidence of) any skills that weren't represented in its training set. But you can just invent an operation. For instance, something like, "ChatGPT: write code that takes a string that is even length and inverts the order of every second character." Actually, let me go try that...

And here we go! https://poe.com/s/UJxaAK9aVN8G7DLUko87 Note that it took me a long time, because GPT 3.5 really really wanted to misunderstand what I was saying; there is a strong bias to default to its training samples, especially if it's a common idea. But eventually, with only moderate pushing, its code did work.

What's interesting to me here is that after I threw the whole "step by step" shebang at it, it got code that was almost right. Surprisingly often, GPT will end up with code that's clever in methodology, but wrong in a very pedestrian way. IMO this means there has to be something wrong with the way we're training these networks.

edit: https://poe.com/s/gZW5ZGgiomWzabKJCUcA I gave it a more complete prompt because I only have one completion per day, but GPT-4 got it in one shot.

edit: https://poe.com/s/2lS8rjbGqHrzSkpEvLzr GPT 3.5 flubbed it given the same prompt.
Modals can be a life saver, if you do server side rendered pages, because navigating back is probably slower than opening/closing a popover via Javascript. You may also lose some state on the previous view on navigating back, you may end up at another scrolling position (I know this can be prevented).

I prefer master-detail views. Like an Email client, where you select a message in a list and then see the body of the email. For smartphone sized screens this should switch to a detail page with a back button. Like the Mail app on iPhone/iPad.

Master-detail can be tough on server side rendered pages though. And you really need a good page structure, because you show a lot of data on one page and it can look cluttered quickly.
More subtle differentiations than that are made by law and handled routinely by courts. Remember it's not (yet) an algorithm that has to be precisely specified. Things like intent and effect can be considered and judgement applied in court by a person whose title reflects their responsibility to do exactly that.
I completely agree, but a lot of people in the US reflexively take a very negative stance on tech regulations. Look at discussion even here on HN about tech regulations like GDPR and proposed AI rules.
In the UK white collar work is often referred to as "professional work" vs a trade.
Sell at a loss, you mean? Why do that when you can just force employees to come back into the office?
> Um... which platform?

most platforms with weaker-than-x86 memory models need additional barriers for acquires e.g. on ARM you need LDAR

> Probably the biggest reason that memory ordering semantics are such a mess

are they though? release/acquire semantics are actually intuitive once you get used to them and are very well suited for pointer-based lockfree data structures. consume is maybe more subtle but it's mostly an optimization on top of acquire, so not very difficult conceptually

Bad extrapolation is not ad hominem either.

Apologies for the tone, no offense was intended. In my world modals are as common as mud, I appreciate the reminder that we all have our bubbles.

I think Bootstrap is a reasonably standard Modal implementation. This site[1] contains an explanation of usage and demonstrations.

Maybe they would have been if they had been the big thing 20 years later. But I think their heyday probably also predated a lot of the X-sports stuff etc. so it was mostly a recreational activity that was popular with fairly ordinary people. Skates could easily be more like $100+. They're basically hockey skates after all. (Construction details are different but level of support is the same.) Individuals made something out of nothing in the space but they didn't make $100s of millions of dollars.
Open source libraries need to include a clause preventing anyone turning more than X amount in revenue per year or training machine learning from using the code unless they pay a fee.
Digital work leaves lots of traces. Unions, at least where I live, will kick you out for strike breaking.
Have you ever worked in a large enterprise? They always want support for stuff like this.

Always
I find the certainty with which archeologists speak about Iron Age cultures and mores to be amusing. In fact they are at best plausible just-so stories that don't conflict with patterns of artifacts that have been discovered. I understand that they are doing their level best, and trying to draw the most likely logical inferences, but I think there is so little hard information, and falsifiable hypotheses are nearly impossible, biased speculation and groupthink seems destined to dominate the theory.
Agreed. I’m so grateful to whoever posted the archive link. The site is a god awful mess of pop up videos, scroll hijackers and overlays.
I had an idea regarding this. What if a new CC license was developed for open source projects where that code could only be used by union-participant companies/individuals?
IIRC we've found some big exoplanets in wild orbits. They tend to form in a circular-ish orbit because that's how you get a big enough chunk of the dense bits of an accretion disk, but interactions with other planets/stars can put eg gas giants into wild orbits after formation.

EG https://astronomynow.com/2019/08/28/exoplanet-found-in-unusu...
What’s the point of reading a highly informative article written by a domain expert and then simply state your opinion by laying out wrong facts?
Some can be ignored in modern times.

Eg, nothing wrong with naming the webserver simply "web". Particularly in modern times where it's going to be a VM/container, and never do anything else.

Also nothing wrong with naming your laptop after yourself. Laptops weren't much of a thing in 1990, these days everyone at my company has their own. And seeing a login or packets on tcpdump from "bob.example.com" is very much helpful.
Have you tried Joplin? It's open source. I liked it very much but ultimately ended up using a folder of markdown files and using vscode to edit them. It works great. The only issue is that long hyperlinks become unreadable.
While I do think it is tempting and broadly correct to have the discussion about these layoff rounds being partially social contagion among the C-suite class, needless RTO, and the end of 0% interest rates, we should also keep in mind that Facebook/Meta appears to be egregiously mismanaged.

They burned billions of dollars and years of dev time on a product that was a bad joke at both the implementation and vision level, all while their mainstay products that actually make money are decaying in real time. Facebook is a product fully relegated to regurgitating content from meme pages to 40+ year olds + getting into extremely uninformed political arguments. It is a zombie product with no hope of revival. Instagram is better but is still showing shakiness in its business model and audience retention. And they can't monetize Whatsapp without ruining it. So they had to make a leap, but they chose an area (VR video games) that they had no pre-existing experience in and got nowhere in the 9 years since they bought Oculus. Oculus was the cutting edge in VR, so one must imagine that they also squandered that talent given the state Horizon Worlds is in.
A New OAuth Vulnerability in a Framework Used in Hundreds of Websites
This is just for show, because it's not actually preventing piracy, but I guess the commission can tell their lobbyist friends "look at what we did, please give us more money".

Also Gen Z that might at most have a laptop (for school), but spends most of their time on mobile devices are definately not pirating anything, nor do they know how to.

Anyone with some savviness will of course go on a private tracker or simply pay for access to one of the many usenet providers with 10+ years of retention.

Or just use a free DNS provider to negate the "block"
I just looked up the figures, and they're astonishing. Meta makes giant amounts of cash in ways I do not understand.

iPhones have a feature where it just goes straight to voicemail if the calling number isn't in your contacts. That's useful most of the time but I have to remember to turn it off when I'm expecting a call from the plumber telling verifying the service or something.
I've transitioned to consulting - I make more money and have more freedom to work out during the day which is great, but I can't help but feel I'm well behind my peers and have a stagnating career. Since I basically resorted to consulting since the job market for engineers is so dire at the moment / maybe my resume is just a red flag?
I think whether to use modal window or not should be case-by-case basis.
I once refactored a web application for a data analysis platform using a front-end framework that I developed myself, and many of the prompts and information display functions in this framework are implemented through modal windows.
When we showed the system to customer, we still gained a little acceptance.
Of course, this internal private system doesn't need to do SEO optimization and indexed by search engines, if there is such a demand, using modal windows may not be the best way.
If you want loyalty, hire contractors. You can't expect people (especially individuals) to act like they're in a contract without the upsides.
They have been playing the long game, clearly!
IIRC, a lot of the energy use in a plane flight is due to the initial acceleration. So double the capacity is more than double the distance. You can also just use a bigger battery when the weight efficiency is better.

Amprius is planning to offer a silicon nanowire anode sometime in the next decade it seems, which probably won't double the capacity, but it would be a significant improvement.
Kinzhal is simply an air-launched 9K720 Iskander, though, and it was always known to be interceptible because its trajectory is deterministic. You just need good radars.

No, hypersonics are a legitimate new development, Russia just deceptively brands some of its low-tech arsenal.
> but we can preserve both at the same time

Sure, spending million on 'priceless' art... while spending as little as possible on preserving our ecosystems?
What Russia used were actually ballistic missiles. Here's the wikipedia description [1]

The 10th gen Civic ran from 2016-2022 with the same infotainment setup. So it's a 2016 car with 2012 software. That's very reasonable.

And the benefit to that is that it's easy to hack since there's an RCE in the old browser. So you can jailbreak your own car. (It doesn't have a cellular data connection so it's not a security risk)
IT -> Manual laborer gas industry.

It's rewarding, been to beautiful places, met whole other (blue collar) subcultures. But it's really hard to know if it's life positive. It's certainly not for life, screw that. Manual work keeps you fit but it breaks the body more. It's also dangerous which is an ok price to pay for experiences but not for living life.

Volunteering in IT in a developing country (1 year turned to 2.5 years) unconditionally positive, travel, different people, different challenges, different parts of the brain used.

> Did you miss the money and status?

Money yes, but if I got my tickets I could be on similar to before. Status, that's a UK thing. I literally lol on the idea people in IT have status.
Shouldn't he only be rewarded if something he did actually led to growth? Lots of companies grew like crazy in 2021, as mentioned in the parent article.

Moreover, if we're going to reward this individual when times are good purely for being in charge at the right time, then shouldn't it go both ways? Shouldn't we punish him when things are going bad, for example the tail end of 2022?

I'm not a business person, it just seems like if I were an investor with Google [1] then that's how I'd view it.

[1] I don't own any Google stock directly, but I suppose indirectly I own some via ETFs and an index fund.

ETA:

The reason I mention this is that I don't want to "punish him for firing lots of people", but because the people that were fired were the only ones punished for his bad leadership.
This is largely why the academic study of history has become historiography, the study of how history is written, and by whom, and understood in which contexts. Academic history books, from university presses, are usually pretty different than the pop-history books or books aimed at general audiences for a similar topic. They are much more skeptical and questioning of narrative and are usually very willing to bring up counter-arguments or competing claims.

A really good example, one of my favorite academic history books, is When Champagne Became French by Kolleen Guy [1]. It's really more a history of how the story of champagne was integrated into the ongoing narrative of French national history and identity, and how this integration obscured the sometimes violent disagreements over the identity of champagne and who ultimately "owned" it.

For me, I put my mistakes in perspective.

Did anyone die?

No? Then on the scale of important consequences the mistake was statistically inconsequential.

My day is ok.
When these stats say "read a book", do they mean "read a whole book" or "read something from a book"? Big difference between those two.
The laptop class’s interests are closely intertwined with those of the billionaires. When billionaires offshored jobs to China, there was an army of laptop class people who helped them do it. And they collectively benefit very much from the economic changes that have fueled billionaires’ fortunes. The top 10% have an annual income of over $6 trillion. The total income of all US billionaires is less than half a trillion dollars. Since 1970, the growth in median income of the upper middle class has vastly outstripped the growth in median income of the rest of the country.

If there’s anything standing in the way of more economically redistributive policies in this country, it’s the laptop class. They would take a huge and material hit in their standard of living in a more equal society such as Canada or Germany. Everyone from programmers to lawyers to HR administrators make a third to half as much as their counterparts in those countries.
There has been a native <dialog/> element in HTML for a while for accessibility.
Agree. Hindsight is 20/20. A conservative CEO who pulls back and doesn't lean into a growth cycle will be criticized even more for leaving money on the table.

Whether the entire economy should be structured to incenivize all this instability is a separate question. Don't hate the player, hate the game!
The Kinzhal is AFAIK ballistic. The Russians refer to it as a hypersonic weapon because it sounds scary, but really it’s just an air launched SRBM. The Russians do have a maneuvering hypersonic weapon, the Avangard, but it’s strictly nuclear and launched from an ICBM booster, not a plane.
