Hah, I flew planes into ceiling fans too! I also remember scraping my planes against the floor until holes wore into the paper, and seeing how well they could continue flying. There was something really cool about seeing a plane with so much accumulated damage still able to fly.
Safari and Edge (which is also Chrome) having twice the dismal market share of Firefox doesn't make the browser market competitive. Safari is an appliance delivered exclusively on machines manufactured by a single company that holds a small, though luxury, part of the market. Edge (is Chrome, and) is only available on one OS [edit: I'm guess I'm wrong about this, didn't imagine that Edge would be available on Macs.]

Firefox is the only "credible" competitor, although Firefox's only profitable customer is Google itself.

I think Reddit and other social media share the same problem in that people don't naturally share the same piece of information with EVERYONE they know.

Your girlfriend/boyfriend might be interested in your marriage plans, but your friends might be more interested in talking about games. The former might be horrified at you playing shooting games, and the latter might be horrified that you want kids. In real life the two things would be segregated, but social media is often merged and it's impossible to separate the two.

Social media has got very mass market in recent years and the civil intelligent discussions that you would have when only [traditional] geeky types were around, even between people of differing political views, have gone down the drain. But the main problem with Reddit was that it was too over-zealous with moderation after the Trump election, and it's basically been a downward hill since then since the echo chamber bandwagon just gets more and more self-fulfilling. It's silly to the point many international subreddits are utterly non-sensical and sometimes racist to the country the subreddit covers!

So much is written about Wayland not "being ready." I've used it exclusively on my desktop and laptops for... as long as it's been available in Ubuntu. It works fine. I don't have any issues with input methods. It puts pixels on my monitors. The screen doesn't tear when I move windows around like X did. It's fine for me.
#1 weed among in my garden last year was tomatoes. I let tomatoes fall off the vine and drop their seeds the year prior, and last year I planted something else entirely, but the tomatoes made an appearance. They hybridize easily, so whatever was growing was some weird conglomeration of several varieties of tomato.
Reddit apparently ran away from Lisp primarily because all the servers ran on FreeBSD while development ran on Macs and because at the time they were forced to use different Common Lisp implementations (OpenMCL on Mac and CMUCL on FreeBSD) so they couldn't even test what they were deploying, essentially. Today with SBCL that wouldn't have been an issue.
I still keep a Windows 2000 virtual machine around for vintage games that are no longer compatible with Windows, despite spending entirely too much time fiddling with the compatibility settings.

Except we can't directly/ immediately alter the global temperature, whereas we can alter emissions rates. If we bring them down to net zero quickly the planet will be warmer than it was 100 years ago but still at a temperature that's safe enough for humans to thrive in (though maybe not many other species, particularly corals etc.). And yes, we'll probably need to resort to some form of geo-engineering to further reduce CO2 levels and/or temperatures, but for now measuring emissions is the best way we have of monitoring to what degree we're doing enough to stave off a catastrophic future.

Thanks, @mperham. I'm curious how it all will go!

Enjoying the ride for the moment - it's wilder than I thought. I must confess that all the visits on the website via HN gave me quite the adrenaline rush :-).
Not really, I was directly refuting their bigger point, which was that htmx is not in an uncanny valley between basic HTML and real Javascript because there are all kinds of simple use cases where htmx is ideal. They then listed off use cases that in fact do not require htmx :-)

If you're going to make a point like that via examples, they should be (in aggregate) useful examples that make your point!

Even setting aside that examples made up basically that poster's entire point, the reason people provide examples even for more developed argumernts is because concrete evidence is important to persuasiveness (not because they are being charitable). When someone tries multiple examples and none prove their point, it's perfectly valid to point that out.
The only useful feature of windows 10 is linux?
It wasn't that serious... and still need to process 10-100 gigabytes files for work sometimes, and am doing fine with my 50 Mbits... I just cannot imagine one person really.making good constant use of 2.5 Gbit, and in the rare times needed not just invest a little time, so I think it is money wasted in this case. Admitted, my imagination may be too limited and it is a valid tradeoff of time vs money.

But yes, nitpicking, but on the same tech it should be insignificantly more joules also, different techs or hw much more significant though.
It might all be a terrible misunderstanding. What if that koteka was actually a flute holder?
I think if you look at race, sex, and disability discrimination, there's an implicit direction as well. The law is not particularly worried about companies refusing to hire people without disabilities.
Yes that is right. I’ve always loved the first gen 900 since we had a three door one when I was a kid.
> How can there be no books published on the subject of Wayland programming in 14 years?

Just my personal observation here, but I don't see a lot of value in programming books any longer due to how often things change. Usually I'm looking for official documentation or recently updated blog posts on the Internet.
Watching the Yankees in Spanish all season has really improved my ability to listen to Spanish. Combined with Anki spaced repetition flashcards (conjugation and vocabulary), Duo Lingo for some general practice, and Pimsleur for speaking and listening I suspect I'll be pretty decent by the end of the year!

It's definitely a whole skill to be able to listen and disambiguate words spoken at a native speaker's pace in a second (or nth) language.
Show HN: A High-Performance CRC Hardware Generator in Bluespec SystemVerilog
What is it and why make it?
The Cyclic Redundancy Code(CRC) is an error-detecting code commonly used in digital networks and storage devices to detect accidental changes to digital data. And blue-crc repo provides a parallel, pipelined and highly-parameterized hardware implementation of CRC targeting high-throughput applications, such as network transmission.

CRC is a mature and widely-adopted error-detecting technology, and there have been numerous hardware implementations of it. However, most existing hardware designs are either implemented using pure combinational logic or are only designed to process input data byte-by-byte serially, which results in extremely low throughput. Other designs targeting high-performance applications lack proper parameterization and only support some specific CRC configurations. Blue-crc aims to solve these problems by providing both high-throughput and well-parameterized CRC hardware implementation.

Main Features of Blue-CRC
Complete CRC Configuration: the implementation supports complete CRC configuration parameters, including polynomial, initVal(the initial CRC value), finalXor(the result is xor’d with this value if desired), reflectData(if True, the input bit order is reversed), and reflectRemainder(if True, the result bit order is reversed).

Standard Interfaces: The input interface follows AxiStream protocol, with a parameterized data width. The output CRC result is guarded by the basic handshake protocol.

Parallel: The IP is designed to process multiple bytes per cycle.

Fully Pipelined: The implementation takes in raw data and produces results every cycle.

High Throughput: The implementation, configured with 256-bit input and 32-bit CRC output, runs at 500MHz on Xilinx xcvu9p FPGA.

Have a try?
For BSV users, you can import our codes and instantiate CrcAxiStream interface in your design directly. Besides, we provide a script to generate custom Verilog CRC implementation automatically. If you are interested in high-performance CRC hardware acceleration, it’s worth giving it a try. We are also open to any recommendations for further improving our designs.

What if we set GPT-4 free in Minecraft?

They did not, in fact, pass the exam on their own merit; they failed it miserably. Furthermore, in situations where they find the correct answers to the questions that will be asked, or even just the specific questions that will be asked, and then passed the exam, they would not have demonstrated that they could do so on their own merit, as an examination can only be a smallish sample of the knowledge they are expected to have in order to justify a passing grade.

In this case, they cannot even appeal to that perennial cheater's excuse: "what matters is being able to get the right answer, not how I got it." Here, they demonstrated utter incompetence at that task! Their knowledge was so impoverished that they could not even identify blatant errors.
One of the most interesting yet sadly least rigorous What-Ifs. He relies on simply scaling up a calculation in absorbed dose at the distance of one parsec. Neutrinos do not interact with nuclei the same way gamma rays do, and the effects of a particular amount of neutrino radiation on living tissue is unstudied and unknown. The paper he cites explicitly points this out but he ignored it.
From my experience, companies are happy to strategically feign incompetence, blindness and deafness.

You forgot the part where it has to guaranteed go to the workers. There have been big lawsuits about just this issue.

Azure Linux: Microsoft reveals why it did not fork Fedora
I don't. That said, I think the problems are typically small enough that you don't gain much by hunting for a good SAT formulation? Python doesn't do anything that any other dependency manager does. (Does it?)
Yes, exactly. I’ve seen the same discussion play out as “if you make a game and somebody plays it, and they don’t enjoy it, it’s your fault.” It seems as nonsensical as, “if you’re a chef and somebody doesn’t like your food, it’s your fault.” A midwesterner with a dislike for fish, who likes meat well done, could conceivably end up in a sushi restaurant.

The point of having a market of plays, games, and restaurants is that we can match producers and consumers with each other. People are going to watch movies they don’t like, eat food they hate, and watch plays that they think are boring. That doesn’t mean that we have to assign responsibility (or blame) to anybody for it! Not everybody has to like your play.
I think it would be really neat to have a space based telescope in close proximity to LISA so that when gravitational waves are detected the telescope can point in the direction of the source and capture the light from it.

You're right. Sorry that I implied that was the only thing they asked for. But the point still stands that it's very common to be compelled to provide the equivalent of "tell me everything you know about this IP address", and our legal has said we (usually) legally have to provide it.

Great questions, as well as the review strategy in your OP.
I agree with you, especially on un-regulated white-collar work (e.g. no one with magic letters after their name is in danger just yet).

But give it a few years and I'm really curious how regulatory and licensing bodies react because they have almost always moved uniformly in whichever direction is necessary to suppress wages. There are few exceptions to this (e.g. physicians). The output benefits of worker + AI could potentially lead to some professional services becoming dirt cheap, while others become ludicrously expensive.

I'm also curious what this means for immigration. For the West, the primary justification to siphon the world's talent fundamentally vanishes. That's talent that potentially stays put and develops in non-Western countries. For countries where the entire country is a demographic ponzi using immigrants to prevent collapse, it's potentially an existential problem.
Sounds like a pretty relaxed lifestyle that is in harmony with nature.

Do they need to be exploiting each other to be smart or something?

Well, she's technically right. Facebook, like most corporations, are not democracies.

I'm not buying her argument. Facebook has no power if actual governments don't work with it for their own ends. It's just a company that can collapse and be replaced by a better product at anytime.

If you are saying that no assurances were made by Western leaders, I am not sure you read the source. I am unaware of assurances Russia made to Ukraine. I am familiar with the Minsk accords which were broken.

If Russia or China built up Mexico or Canada's military with arms and training and they were hostile to us, I think we would be a little concerned.

I read the two blogs which give different perspectives.

I do not see any problem with somebody from the US being interviewed by foreign press or vice versa. That does not make a person immediately sided with the government where that outlet is based or of the interviewer. I wish we would see more of this both ways.
The Stanford cryptography class (http://crypto.stanford.edu/~dabo/cs255/) and associated book (https://crypto.stanford.edu/~dabo/cryptobook/BonehShoup_0_4....) is almost everything you'd ever want to know about cryptography. If you really like that and want to see the frontiers of cryptography research, the next (and last!) class is https://crypto.stanford.edu/cs355/23sp/; alternatively, there's a security class (https://cs155.stanford.edu/) more focused on industry and application.

Pro tip: nearly every instance of both these classes is available online (all the way back to 1998!), so if something's not making sense, you can always go back and see if it was explained differently in a prior iteration of the class.

Could be titled "Hate Elon? OMFG would you have hated Edison! He was way worse!"

Scientists didn't start getting in the way of progress yesterday. It's a tradition:

When the dynamo prototype was finished, it operated so contrary to existing best-practice that Edison was mocked for it. John Tyndall — the physicist to whom discovery of the greenhouse effect is often attributed – wrote in the Journal of Gas Lighting, ‘It is difficult to adequately express the ludicrous inefficiency of the arrangement; but one thing is abundantly certain, and that is that the person who seriously proposed it was wholly destitute of a scientific knowledge of either electricity or the science of energy.’
