Not a fan of having lots of repeat posts like that! They're yet another form of noise to deal with, along with spam.

Newsreaders had "killfiles"[1] which could have regex-based matching and scoring. This would allow you to have filters like "ignore posts where person X uses the words Y and Z".

Local scoring/filtering seems like a non-starter to me. The advantage (and disadvantage) of up/down-voting is that it harnesses the "wisdom of the crowds". This can be pretty awful in very large forums such as the most popular subreddits, but can be pretty great in smaller communities (such as small subreddits) or those with strongly-defined community norms such as HN.

With an entirely local system you're going to end up creating a very elaborate bespoke protocol to manage and distribute this information or you're going to force individual users to handle everything themselves (with no wisdom of the crowds). Either way is less than ideal and seems to lose much of the advantage of NNTP: simplicity. Might as well go all the way and create an entirely new, federated protocol with support for moderation and up/downvoting and sidebars/pinned posts as well.
We can see what our governments are encouraging towards other countries quite easily and openly today. For example in the UK you can see organisations like the British Council (The United Kingdom's international organisation for cultural relations and educational opportunities): https://www.britishcouncil.org/arts/news

and towards China in particular: https://chinanow.britishcouncil.cn/

Some on the left (and right I imagine) say these are an example of neo-colonialist neo-liberalist ideas and that does seem as conspiracyish as this article but if you imagine in 50 years time a politics article looking at the arts right now, then an archived series of these projects from our governments international arts organisations might well be included!
What is practical depends on your goals. Clojure can do pretty much everything, though it's a bit less practical for things like high-FPS video games and desktop GUI.
This one boggles my mind because broadcasters don't want games to go into overtime. A 3-point system where overtime win/losses are split 2/1 emphasizes winning in the final few minutes, which is exciting to both viewers and businessmen. Maybe one day they'll switch.

Competitive salary, stock options
500k?? Did your tuition include cocaine?
Personally, I find the cost a bit steep. Truth be told, I don't frequently tinker with CSS, maybe only a couple of times annually. A lifetime license for $39.99, however, would definitely be a deal I'd gladly snap up, no more, no less.
There is not a single name brand engineering organization that does not pay its interns extremely well.
Read up on the history of immigration to Europe, Africa and Asia. You act as if the US is the only place where immigration has ever happened.

Any idea about the others?
Probably better to learn the basics and get a good overview, eg by reading Grinold & Kahn instead:

That may be true of individuals in the general public, but we're talking about a single corporate entity and applying standards to it. With regard to inciting violence, there is a clear legal standard in the Brandenburg test.

It's not a huge leap to apply this standard to protected classes.
There's a book on this called The Cultural Cold War[1]. I tried reading it but (embarrassingly) I don't know enough about artistic and literary figures in the mid-20th century to follow along with all the names it drops. Seemed interesting, though.

I've found it's gotb eyes and have given up using it for tasks more often than I used to.

For copilot, I no longer get multi line complete suggestions and it's really slow to deliver single line suggestions and they're more often incorrect. I need to dig into it, but it's definitely degraded further and I don't know if it's just my environment or a wider issue. I need to dig in and figure out - is anyone else experiencing these things?
> Watching a 2D film on a stereo 3D VR device sorta makes sense that it's not super interesting

Yeah it wasn’t life changing by any means, but pretty nice in a way. Like if I was single, I might actually skip the TV and just do that? I’m not certain. I liked that it forced me to be focused on it. I’ve got the ADHD pretty bad apparently, so sitting and watching a movie is kind of like trying to put a cat in a box. My brain insists on doing ANYTHING ELSE and grabs into virtually any other activity or thought or whatever, but in a VR headset or a theatre somehow that isn’t the case.

The idea of watching movies or shows as though you were actually there is spectacular. I think we’ll get there too, but I expect it’s a while away from where we are. AI will likely play a huge role in stitching multiple camera angles together and filling in the gaps, and that technology arrived a lot sooner than I expected, so… Maybe the integration of production and presentation technologies will follow suit. Frankly, I’m old enough that things simply move faster than I’m used to now. I have to reassess my priors for how quickly things can happen.

What you’re saying about stereo video sounds totally compelling. And not surprising it’s popular in the adult industry. Sort of a side note I guess, but when I see what’s possible with AI and imagine what’s around the corner with these technologies… Good luck to all the 20 year olds with raging hormones and a little disposable income. If porn addiction is a thing now, just wait. Maybe we’re what, 10 years away from generating personal porn with a personally designed digital partner?

I digress though. We’ll get there when we get there and deal with it when we do. I’m glad my boys might miss the worst of it in their most hormonal years.
The good news (not really) is that the SQL standard isn't really followed.

So unless you are writing a database yourself, the DMBS documentation is going to be more relevant.

This is a really good explanation of why I find Julia (effectively a Lisp in terms of these features) to be indispensable. The ability to generate code on the fly makes life so much easier that I just can't live without it.

Medieval refers to a specific European time period, I’m not sure what you expected.

> Minstrels were fixtures of European life in the Middle Ages, but though countless references to these entertainers exist in literature from this era, no clear records of an actual minstrel’s “repertoire,” meaning their act or set, has been identified—until now.

It is specialized.

I don't see the advantage of doing this vs. doing a new federated protocol from scratch, with all of the modern features built-in, and accessible from a web browser rather than a separate news reader.
When we're talking about 1% of white motorists experiencing an escalation vs 15% of black motorists it's hard to not see a racial element. Whether or not it's intentional is frankly besides the point.

I agree a good standard would be to require mentioning the reason for the stop, but more importantly ending things like qualified immunity. There's zero accountability. Who polices the police?

Frequently I get a bunch of free Giants gear around November because my friends who are Giants fans are disgusted with how they are playing and don't want to be seen in them. If the NFL had relegation this couldn't happen so chronically.

On the other hand, promotion/relegation needs a big enough market to support multiple tiers. Amazingly, the UK has several layers of leagues that attract fans and seem to be economically viable (in some sense) but MLS struggles to attract any attention at all in the U.S. and how second and third tier leagues could be viable is beyond me.
I have no trouble thinking of myself as a "less savvy user".

I've been a professional programmer for nearly four decades. But when I'm not programming, I just want the computer to do things for me. If I can solve a problem by clicking a mouse (or pushing a touch screen) rather than remembering syntax, I'm all for it.

I'm happy to have a crutch. I suppose I could limp along on my broken leg instead, but why would I?
Proprietary? Fitbits have had these buttons since forever. And my Samsung has something similar, but in the pins, but just as easy to manipulate. This isn't an Apple thing, lol.
I have. I do a lot of traveling and inevitably people want to go to art installations and museums and I'm always fine with going. Anways, there's not a lot of legendary art pieces (that are in public places) I haven't seen in person. Not a single one of them really inspire me. I'd go so far as to say I don't really understand how art became such a huge market to begin with. I literally wouldn't pay $100 for anything other than sculptures.

I wouldn't put most of the legendary pieces on my wall unless you paid me.

edit: it always tickles me the negative reactions I get when people hear my opinion on art. Doesn't seem to matter how I phrase it, it's always offensive to someone that I can't see the undeniable beauty in popular art. Putting time and effort into something is a prerequisite for me to be in awe, but it does not automatically interest me. Many professional athletes put in far more time and effort into their craft to play a decorative game and I similarly don't care about their mastery of their strictly decorative achievements.
The diffusion of scientific discovery
I played Alyx some and it was neat, but I didn't get terribly far into it as it wasn't very compelling for me. Maybe because I've never played the other Half Life games?
My previously favorite keyboard, Das Keyboard, has a rotary encoder for the volume control, and it's fantastic. I agree that sliders and encoders could/should be used more. There are plenty of great MIDI devices out there that offer them, I should play around with some of them for day to day stuff like this rather than just music.

There may be a lot of truth to that, but I've absolutely seen women in that age group play games on their phones, e.g. Bejeweled, or, famously, Tetris at world record breaking skill levels: https://archive.boston.com/news/globe/magazine/articles/2007...

I would not know about unboxing videos, but there are several cable channels that seem to show nothing but hours and hours of close ups of hands fondling more or less tasteful necklaces, and I'm pretty sure those do not cater to toddlers.
If you don't believe it you might be? My stance is based on my experience as an active twitter user where racism, antisemitism, eugenics, and trans elimination rhetoric have gone from frequent to constant since he took over. There is an openly genocidal nationalist movement brewing in the US and musk is in the replies of their prominent figures dropping thinking-face and "interesting" a couple times a week. Some of them were banned and he unbanned them when he took over. Not sure how you judo that observation into echo chamber.
Makes me look at things like Disco Demolition Night in a new light.
This is true on both fronts, I think. Bevy magics away the interface between you and the engine via the ECS macros, in a way that is very unusual for a systems programming language like Rust. But that's more or less how all game engines are these days from what I understand.
Not really, people probably have better examples but doctors quite often don't actually try to figure out what antibiotic is the best, they just pick something for no real reason (they remember the name) and write a prescription. There are studies on what antibiotic to use quite a lot of the time, but that takes effort. You get a Z-Pack, and you get a Z-Pack, etc...
This is an amusing characterisation.

I would like to know how high level concepts map to assembly so I can understand how to compile to it.

I feel low level assembly gives so much freedom to decide how to do things.

I should probably get better at writing assembly so that I have inspiration on how to solve the high level things. But it's generations of technical ideas, solutions, implementation details and understanding I have to go through. I would like to understand exception handling to implement algebraic effects.

I also think structs are extremely useful and that it's amazing that sum types were invented.
i guess the point is that z is a common complex variable (one that has an imaginary component) like 3+2*i, kind of like how x is a common real variable, and that oo is a cute way that they write infinity in ascii like it's the sideways 8 symbol except written like oo. that said, i think it's dumb and i also think that way to write infinity is dumb.
It's a very strange account - I tried to set up my auto loan to withdraw from Apple Savings, but it just didn't work.

When I deposit money from my bank, it takes a full week for it to be available for withdrawal.

Oddly, I have my employer put $20 into it every pay period (honestly on a lark), and it showed up on the expected date, and was available for withdrawal.
It's more impressive than many people think, but in context:

- The PS5 sales have been notoriously hampered by supply constraints

- The XBox numbers are considered to be a major disappointment [1]

- The Quest continues to be crushed by the Nintendo Switch, which counted selling 18m unites in a year to be a disappointing result of supply constraints [2]

Douglas Crockford – We Should Stop Using JavaScript
Agree. I have a Quest 2, and two friends have since purchased them after trying mine out. If potential customers could just demo the damn thing, many of them would convert into sales. There is very much a "wow factor" after trying it out, even if many users do eventually get bored.

No, it's not gotten worse, just more constrained and... fuzzy and blurry.
I get far better service from Tesla than I got from Honda, Toyota, or VW.
Ignore this guy's comment, it's obviously a psyop as well.
It's strange to me how a key selling point of these vertical tabs is "save on vertical space", but they almost always still include a header bar. You can see in the video they posted that it saves almost no vertical space, while now taking up a massive amount of horizontal space.
You would have to tell the decreased adoption of NoSQL due to JSON support in major SQL databases apart then from the decreased adoption of NoSQL due to the hype being over...
Because they don’t have to. You deposit there because they’re too big to fail or have such an excellent retail experience or are so brand saturated you don’t make a choice. They are sitting on too much deposits as is, but even without that fact it is purely greed - or, to use another phrasing, it’s the right business decision for maximizing profits. They literally have no reason to improve returns on deposits.

Goldman is trying to buy their way into retail banking and offer very competitive rates. Other more established retail banks are leveraging their size and reputation to maximize profits as they don’t see any upside to increasing rates. They don’t need more deposits, and they won’t lose a meaningful deposit base.
I update my iphone around every 6 years

Ok. All the research I see suggests the average iPhone user upgrades every 2-3 years.
Is there a way to use GPT-4 directly? Instead of the muzzled ChatGPT that is supposed to give answers authorities and opinionators deem appropriate?
Oh that's interesting, I didn't think about asking it directly about what version it thinks is current. I wonder if it can hallucinate here?

It's really irksome when it tries to use functions which were renamed or removed. This could be detected automatically (and possibly remapped in some cases)

I got mostly the same versions as you, both on chatgpt3/4, using english.

If you ask it in other languages the minor version also seems to change often.

Agree. However I noticed an unintended benefit of using GPT for coding is that it helps you think carefully about the problem you are trying to solve when writing the prompt.
Open innovation: Licensing and access to Oak National Academy's new resources
We are already there. Phone SoCs already have AI blocks that are pretty much purpose built for object recognition and image enhancement.

Intel has had this for some time too. They use it for stuff like facial recognition unlocking in Windows.

It just doesn't really feel like it because they aren't very accessible to users and hackers. The next gen blocks from AMD/Intel are supposed to be more accessible and generalized, but we shall see.
Even saying you're correct on performance, that's one point out of four that you've addressed. It's a bit of a stretch to call BS until you've addressed the bugs, refactoring, and legacy code problems.
Ask HN: Who was the SWE that built foundational software in a weekend
I don't remember the name of the engineer, but I think his wife was away for a weekend, and he got the chance to built some software that is very ubiquitous within a weekend.
Well it depends.

For example, even €100 to €200 matters for me quite a bit when I am trying to exchange €5000 even though it is “only” 2% to 4% of the whole amount. It actually upsets me quite a bit.

But I would not be motivated to do something for €100 or €200. Exactly because I regularly lose amounts like that to fees and fluctuations in exchange rates. Although of course it depends on what “something” is. I mean I would not want to put a lot of effort in for €200. But if someone handed me a couple hundred euros in exchange for something simple or silly then of course I would be happy and grateful!

And then let’s say on the other hand someone was gonna pay me a whole month wage for some work. Well firstly, I lose about 50% of any additional income to taxes and similar fees to my country. Next, the question is what kind of time frame are we talking about for the work?

I do not own a house. I really want to own a house. I don’t want to take a bank loan to buy a house. I want to buy and own a house, in which I can live with my girlfriend and where we can raise kids.

A house of comfortable size and location will cost somewhere around €250k to €500k. So I need about €500k to €1MM because of taxes. That would be an actual life changing amount of money.

But of course, if someone came and offered me €50k like in your example, well that’s still money I can put towards saving for a house.

And that also brings me to something else. Is this a one time thing, or something that will be possible to do multiple times. If someone paid me €50k for a month of work, and I could work for them for several months well that’s bringing me ever closer to my goal of buying a house.
Now I'm just feeling more stupid! What's a "ferryman's oar"? (Assuming it isn't literally an oar used by a ferryman).
The backend is still centered around your legal full name. They allow display names to be displayed, but people are getting their legal name still tied and occasionally shown on that meta Meta account.
> The future is open sourced uncensored models, capitalism will demand the high performance.

No. The future is ML built on more than just Wikipedia, Github code and Reddit hot takes. Or, sarcasm aside, GIGO: garbage in, garbage out - when you don't take care what datasets you train any kind of model on, you're bound to get some surprises if something unexpected comes along. Be it the infamous "racist soap dispenser" or the Google (?) image classifier that made the rounds here just a day or two ago which had a safeguard because it kept confusing Black people with gorillas.

Preventing this kind of harmful content isn't censorship - it's after-the-fact compensation for bad training (and the tendency of 4chan and other trolls to use discriminatory content generation as a weapon, just remember what they did to Microsoft Tay).

That is where the money is: curated training datasets. Everyone and their dog can train a ML model from scratch, all you need is money and cloning a few more-or-less-broken Github repositories for that. But acquiring a high-quality dataset as a foundation? That costs real money to create.
