RealPlayer media player is still around after at least 24 years, I still use it (but haven't updated in a number of years).
I appreciate the brevity but what exactly are you saying? That WW2 wasn't a racket? Is that your thesis here?
i do not use those apps either, but this particular case is cheap-feeling in a very different way. it's like, if you were required to go buy a mcdonalds meal in order to get a specific toy, how much would you think of the toy? similarly here, if the game is any good then i should just be able to go buy it from some store (or the developer's website) and play it. if you're gating it behind "you have to have a netflix account in order to play this game" even though it is an offline game with no connection to netflix, that just cheapens it.

the sad thing is that "world of goo" is actually an excellent game, and does not deserve to have its image tarnished like this.
Yes, IANAL but that sounds like a clear abuse of a market dominant position to me.
> With a GUI, you can have pixel-perfect control over every element. With a TUI, you are normally limited to character-level of control.

So when I have pixel-perfect content render in a terminal emulator through Sixel graphics, and have inconsistent font rendition and problematic CSS box wrapping in a Web or Electron app, does that make the former GUI and the latter TUI? ;)

> TUI and GUI are not defined by the actual complexity of a real application, but the environment which gives them theoretical abilities.

And indeed, this gets to my point. The difference between a GUI and a TUI framework is more akin of the difference between, say, SwiftUI and WinForms, than something presenting a different mental model or experience for users. There are aesthetic differences, but there are just as stark differences between Win32, Aero, Metro and Sun Valley Windows GUI styles.

Sure, modern GUI applications can do more, but no user cares that Outlook could have had pressure-sensitive, angle-dependent Wacom tablet tool integration, and no so user would care that a TUI email client can't.
I am less concerned that Apple will exploit my data because they make plenty on the hardware; in the case of Android gear Google's whole point is exploit any data they can for profit. I have few use cases for a tablet as it is (photography being the big one: Canon Camera Connect) so if Google makes it impossible to get/update that app I'll just switch platforms. (If not an iPad then perhaps a laptop but that's far more bulky to take on a photo shoot.)

Hi Gerard.

Math Academy does not charge your card for the first 30 days. If you find it's not a good fit for then you can cancel within this period and you won't be charged. 30 days hopefully gives you enough time to determine whether it's a good fit or not.
Didn't really go very far. It's a subfield of dynamical systems, and some of its results have been used there. People continue to study it, but it's more in the pure math area, at this point anyway. Recently I heard about some new research into "wild chaos" which sounds interesting.
That's the crux of the matter: if i is replaced with 3 on the second line, what do you think prevents an ARM CPU from hoisting the x[3] above the i load first line?

In practice the volatile cast might prevent current GCCs from performing constant propagation, so this exact code sequence might work, but it is extremely fragile and can break for some variations:

if (int i2 = volatile_lvalue(int, i); i2 == 3) {
y = x[i2]; // i2 is replaced, no data dependency
}

or

if (volatile_lvalue(int, i)) {
y = x[i-i]; // data dependency becomes a control dependency
}

You also have to be careful to what you do with y and with any value derived form it.

As currently there is no way to efficiently implement consume you have to do with what you have, so for example the Linux kernel does use volatile casts and compilation barriers to implement LOAD_ONCE, but then has a large manual that documents what operations are currently considered safe and what are known to break.

That's hardly a specification that can be put in a standard and you can't really can reason about the semantics of it. Linus himself has considered multiple time if it is worth the hassle and whether the kernel should just switch to acquire everywhere now that arm and power have relevant cheap barriers.
I think the argument is pretty weak when you lay all the cards on the table.

China's economy was projected to overtake and eventually eclipse the economy of the USA. China is currently staring down an existential population collapse. China's also a net importer of both energy and food.

Pointing to BRICS nations dropping the USD for trade demonstrates a fundamental misunderstanding of what BRICS is.
I doubt there are any down-round AI portfolio companies right now. It's too hot.
>Projects where you need to think about memory are a pretty small percentage of projects.

Performance matters in every project, and the way you get performance on modern processors is by using the cache effectively. That requires a certain amount of control over memory layout and access.

It's not so much about what's possible in a given language, it's about what features you're using and what features are getting in the way. Sure, you can write a bunch of unsafe Rust, but at what point are you fighting against the language and adding unnecessary friction?
When I started designing PCBs a few years ago (after some years of electronics prototyping and software engineering) I was somewhat shocked by the manual, repetitive tasks I kept doing.

So, I tried to automate as many of these small tasks as possible in the simplest design I could think of - a USB cable tester PCB.

There is one thing I really hate about shorts in particular. I watch YouTube mostly via Chromecast and if you attempt to play a short it will show a dialog on your phone saying you have to disconnect from Chromecast first. It is bogus and stupid. So here I am playing videos on Chromecast and this stupid app shows me videos I can't play in this mode. For some reason some searches now return me mostly shorts and it makes me mad.

I imagine they just shipped it and if someone raised the Chromecast issue they said "fuck it". How hard can it be to just send the URL to the Chromecast if you don't want to work on this stupid Shorts UX for Chromecast?
There are lots shorts blocker extension u can use in the browser.

> support of the current war in Ukraine

The Intercept has mostly echoed current left-liberal talking points ever since Greenwald left, so you won't find many articles critical of the current war there. Anyway, since the OP is about Kissinger, it's interesting to note what he had to say about the current war [1]

> "After saying that Western countries should remember Russia’s importance to Europe and not get swept up “in the mood of the moment,” Kissinger also pushed for the West to force Ukraine into accepting negotiations with a “status quo ante,” which means the previous state of affairs.

> “Negotiations need to begin in the next two months before it creates upheavals and tensions that will not be easily overcome. Ideally, the dividing line should be a return to the status quo ante,” said Kissinger, 98, according to the Daily Telegraph. “Pursuing the war beyond that point would not be about the freedom of Ukraine, but a new war against Russia itself.”

From a hobbies point of view I'd actually argue the opposite. The nice thing about the old stuff (Ex. the 8259 PIC support they're removing here) is that it's much simpler to get going. They have very large limitations, but those don't matter when just starting, and they serve as a good stepping stone and learning opportunity before eventually moving on to the modern and more complicated stuff. Additionally if you're using a bootloader then the bulk of this is already solved for you anyway.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities. It is two electric power plants, each serving a town of 60,000 population. It is two fine, fully equipped hospitals. It is some 50 miles of concrete highway. We pay for a single fighter plane with a half million bushels of wheat. We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people. This is not a way of life at all, in any true sense.

Every watt consumed must be created, and every extra watt a bitcoin mining operation uses is a watt that can't do anything else. And using "surplus" energy merely keeps electricity expensive.

Bitcoin wasting power is as designed. Having to use up a certain amount of watt/hours per operation is the entire "protection" mechanism built into the bitcoin protocol.

Mining operations have few employees because there isn't much work to do.
Someone who feels challenged by the question, "What newspaper do you read?" is not ready for national politics. This is one step above, "What's your favorite food?"

Nobody is going to be that offended by what paper you read. I suggested "USA Today" because it's about the blandest paper you can pick, and nobody can really object to it. Your suggestion, the Wall Street Journal, is not at all difficult to come up with in the moment. It's probably the 2nd or 3rd most influential paper in the US.

Instead of just naming a newspaper, she froze like a deer in the headlights. That just confirmed what many people already thought - she probably reads nothing.

I wonder how much the complexity of the various ecosystems we find ourselves in contribute to the lack of effectiveness of the language model. The task at hand really shouldn't be considered complex. Making and registering a command to do this in Emacs is essentially (defun inc-heading () (interactive) (save-excursion (search-backward-regexp "^\\# ") (insert "#"))). No project structure, no dependencies, no tooling: something a LLM should have no problem doing.

Don't worry folks, the years and years of "of course we'd never connect experimental AI systems to the open internet" assurances were never necessary for safe development and deployment.

This reassessment was founded on the last several months that showed us these systems are close to 100% dependable, they never deceive humans, they are entirely aligned with human morals (you know, all those morals we all agree on), they are advancing at a totally predictable rate, and we never see unexpected behaviors from them. Besides, they can only be wielded by people who we trust have good intentions.

No, this re-assessment has nothing to do with market dynamics incentivizing people to deploy experimental systems further into the infrastructure we depend on.
It is not versatile - multi-purpose - it is weak - general-purpose. "Encrypt/sign these bytes with this cipher, these parameters, and this key" is the least common denominator of cryptographic ability and ignores all the work to build an actual useful cryptographic system around it.

On top of this, its specific interfaces for doing that suck, so you can't even bury it as a safe "primitive" in whatever system you're trying to build (even assuming you wanted to bring in the attack surface of a 25 year old C project).

Something like libsodium is actually versatile in that it offers primitives to build a broad set of safe tools on top of. It does more by doing less.
I don't get it...they are just bragging about writing terrible code? There isn't a single reason given in the article about why a full scan is better than an index other than "I don't need these fancy index things, I'm perfectly happy with my 200ms query time".

Well add the index anyway and add an extra 195ms sleep() call if you really want to. It's still better for your hardware and electricity bill.

> Increasing rollbacks of various right and protections - labor, environmental, consumer - seem to be happening lately.

I take issue with the "rights and protections" phrasing being used in the exact opposite sense of what they mean in this case. The underlying issue is that the vague wording in the CWA was has come to be interpreted expansively and that the consequences of even unintentional violations can be crushing. Here, ordinary people were about to build a house not obviously in "navigable waters", and they were threatened with $40,000 per day in sanctions.

Also, calling it a "rollback" is deceptive phrasing that it implies going back to the time before the CWA was enacted. It would be more accurate to note that the law has been interpreted more and more broadly every year since its creation and that some outer limit is being set on what constitutes a "waterway" or "pollutant" (neither are being interpreted in a way that most people would expect).

I get that some HackerNews commenters can easily fall into the environment-good/conservatives-bad mentality, but this case can also be viewed as falling into the same category as Aaron Swartz being crushed by an expansive and overly punitive interpretation of the CFAA.

Relevant excerpts:

> Within a few years, the agencies had “interpreted their jurisdiction over ‘the waters of the United States’ to cover 270-to-300 million acres” of wetlands and “virtually any parcel of land containing a channel or conduit . . . through which rainwater or drainage may occasionally or intermittently flow.

> By the EPA’s own admission, nearly all waters and wetlands are potentially susceptible to regulation under this test, putting a staggering array of landowners at risk of criminal prosecution for such mundane activities as moving dirt.

> The CWA is a potent weapon. It imposes what have been described as “crushing” consequences “even for inadvertent violations.” Army Corps of Engineers v. Hawkes Co., 578 U. S. 590, 602 (2016) (Kennedy, J., concurring). Property owners who negligently discharge “pollutants” into covered waters may face severe criminal penalties including imprisonment.

> The Act prohibits “the discharge of any pollutant” into “navigable waters.” 33 U. S. C. §§1311(a), 1362(12)(A). It broadly defines the term “‘pollutant’” to include not only contaminants like “chemical wastes,” but also more mundane materials like “rock, sand,” and “cellar dirt.”

> And due to the Act’s 5-year statute of limitations, 28 U. S. C. §2462, and expansive interpretations of the term “violation,” these civil pen- alties can be nearly as crushing as their criminal counter- parts, see, e.g., Borden Ranch Partnership v. United States Army Corps of Engineers, 261 F. 3d 810, 813, 818 (CA9 2001) (upholding Agency decision to count each of 348 passes of a plow by a farmer through “jurisdictional” soil on his farm as a separate violation)

When vague laws with powerful punishments are interpreted expansively and aggressively by enforcement agencies, we should all hope that the Supreme Court should set limits.
The war in Ukraine is an imperial war, instigated by another empire. So if you consider imperial wars to be horrible, supporting their victims is a good way to make amends, no?

The obvious counter-example comes from the intermittent fasting literature, wherein adipose tissue loss occurs even when the net calories consumed in the IF diet are higher than in the ordinary diet.

Another vastly replicated result you can find quite easily: low-glycemic-index diets and ketogenic diets can produce weight loss despite caloric excess.

And lastly, a reasoning from first principles reveals a prima facie credible flaw in the caloric balance hypothesis: the body is not a closed system, ergo the law of conservation of energy does not apply. More vulgarly: you can do things like "work up an appetite" or "shit excess food".

Google Scholar is positively littered with relevant literature, so I'm somewhat surprised by your skepticism. Good key words to enter are: "carbohydrate-insulin model" vs "energy balance model". The carbohydrate-insulin model is also credibly debated, of course, but the question of whether this is the right alternative is distinct from the question of whether the energy-balance model is correct.

In no specific order, here is a pair of completely arbitrary papers, intended only to show that relevant papers can be found with minimal effort:

- https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/002604...

- https://academic.oup.com/ajcn/article/115/5/1243/6522166

I'm not objecting to the energy-balance model, which may well be correct in an important way. I am merely pointing out that nutritional science has not managed to reach consensus on this fundamental issue.

>These have all have nutritional studies.

The nutritional studies did not produce these initial findings. Without pointing to specific papers, it's hard to be very precise, but I would be willing to bet that these are either dietary studies building off of biological first principles, or replication-checks in broader studies. Both are totally fair practices, but can't be considered as an indication that nutritional science is a fruitful field.

Yeah I think it could have worked if they used it way later in the movie, after the aliens have been discovered, but as the opening shot it completely ruins the mystery and tension the movie tries to build.
