From another perspective, My views were considered left in the early 2000s. Now that our culture and many aspects of our government has shifted further and further to the left in the past couple of years, my views are considered more right-wing.
I mean they should charge more.
The more and more generated content by AI (audio, images, text, files etc) will turn Internet into trash.
I have played around with using @Vector for linear algebra.

This removes the need for operator overloading for a vector type, which covers most use cases of operator overloading and I often in fact think is the only legitimate use case.

I don't get to use `*` for matrix multiplication, but I have found I do not mind using a function for this.

I have only been playing with this in small toy programs that don't to much serious linear algebra and I haven't looked at the asm I am generating with this approach, but I have been enjoying it so far!
> So you don't think it should be a fundamental right because we lost the right before we realized how important it was?

How do you propose putting that cat back in the bag?

I also think that if we had legislated for privacy, supposing that we had realised its important early enough, what would that battle look like? I expect it would go as well as the war against drugs; if nothing else miniaturisation makes it practically unenforceable anyway, and legislation might protect you against individual harm but would do nothing against state level, or large corporation, action.

> If I walk onto your property and stare in your windows, if "physical security" is important but "privacy" isn't, why should you be allowed to stop me? I'm not threatening you

Given that we are unable to discern intent prior to action (when that intent is only manifest in thought), strangers lurking are always going to be a different problem to strangers peeking; it's analagous to copyright law vs. property law.

> Or perhaps you'd be fine if I just did it from the public sidewalk with a telephoto lens aimed at your bedroom?

I'm not saying that I'm immune to our societies' privacy hangups; but ideally I should be - I do think we should try and stop judging others for harmless actions.
I just registered a domain for 10 years (the maximum allowed) and was wondering how likely I was to remember to renew. Auto-pay probably wouldn't work with credit card numbers changing. I might still be using the same email or at least have it forwarded. A phone calendar reminder? I did that once long ago and when changing phones the reminders didn't sync correctly. Maybe buy a physical 10 year calendar.

Anyway, I figure that's what happened here from 2012 to 2022.
Is there an animation of this in action, I don't think I'm getting a real understanding of whats happening from just the text and pictures.
Sure, but in order for that sort of risk to apply to AI, you have to be expecting AI to achieve something like AGI. That's where I think the fantasy is.
Is there evidence that stress can occur and not lead to a vicious cycle of inflammation and autoimmune disease?

I am a big fan of Mate, but I think his ideas are oversold if not by him then by many he has “helped”.
As a PhD candidate myself, I have to say this is an amazing idea. Meet with your local university's CompSci department and they will have many good uses for them.

I don't need them, I have actually accrued a large collection of credits myself for the program. But another university may not be as fortunate, so this can be a huge help and be the difference in many research projects being completed or not. Overall, research benefits everybody, so this is a better use of the credits than using it to middle-finger Bezos that many comments are suggesting.

Especially because credits are more beneficial and needed than ever before right now. I can tell you from being in academia that they are pushing almost all research projects to find AI/ML angles on everything we do. Thats the type of research in demand right now by the major journals and publications so all the universities are pushing for this twist on all current research projects to improve the likelihood of being published. And as you know, doing anything with AI/ML can 10x - 100x the cost. So credits are more valued right now than ever before.
To be fair my Amazon shopping history is pretty weird so it might well be that.
> Yes they do. How could Google serve you email without knowing what your email address is, for instance?

There is no one who would describe that as "surveillance" and I'd expect you to know that.

Voluntarily divulging information in order to make use of a service is obviously completely fine.

Turning around and selling that information is not.

Augmenting that information with additional data from across multiple sources--whether that data is voluntarily or involuntarily divulged--is also not fine.

Buying and selling those augmented datasets, also not fine.

And that is what Meta, Google, and so many of these other companies do. That's what surveillance capitalism is.

> No, it's probably that I'm not as injected in the internet as you, probably. You can easily live a very full life and barely use the internet, let alone Facebook.

Frankly, that suggests to me you're the outlier, not me.

Facebook has nearly two billion worldwide daily active users.

WeChat is used every single day in parts of the world not just to communicate with people but to engage in basic daily commerce.

WhatsApp is the way countless individuals stay in touch with friends and family.

You might be oddly disassociated from big tech and the internet, and thus it may be very easy for you to have a cavalier attitude about surveillance capitalism.

Most folks absolutely are not.
Most suicides are also men and yet no extra benefits to mental healthcare are provided. On the contrary.

Men have always been a disposable commodity. Useful for labor, paying taxes and dying in wars.

Beep. Boop. Bop. Hello fellow commenter.
> 3M is sunsetting their PFAS business at a cost of almost $2.3B.

This isn't some altruistic gesture and 3m isn't spending $2.3B to wind down the business. That estimated 2.3 is a pre-tax charge against quarterly earnings that will do littler more than cause it's stock price to dip.

Businesses take these pre-tax charges all the time that lower their stock price AND also make unspecified retroactive account changes that mysterious cause their stock price to rise.

I think a more accurate statement might be "3M is sunsetting their PFAS business to protect itself from future litigation and to leverage a $2.3B tax write off".
I think I'll get back into Beat Saber with this, loved the game on CV1 but the cables were a nuisance so ended up selling the goggles.
It's smaller, they claim 40% in the title of the video linked
Regulators definitely could let large companies go bankrupt.

They’d seize 100% of the stock and cancel any exit packages, then fire the board, and CEO, and claw back any remaining fines from the personal accounts and garnished wages of the executives responsible for the problem.

This would protect the employees, customers and creditors of the company.

Of course, it wouldn’t protect the people that own congress and the supreme court, so it will never happen.
>That doesn't translate to "sanctions are utter failure ". Again, your logic is failing you.

If you don't understand how Europe going into recession while Russia showing growth is a failure of the sanctions, then your logic if failing you I'm afraid.

> The articles you linked to are saying that, have you read them? Reading comprehension is a valuable skill to have.

And once you develop this skill then you'll be able to comprehend what these articles are saying.

> So even this new article that you linked disagrees that the sanctions were an utter failure...

Keep working on that reading comprehension.
Fantasy: Generative models will enable me, scrappy small-scale coder, to outflank dumb old corporations like Google!

Reality: large organizations have been using code-generating models for years, and the sudden relevance of the technique entrenches and amplifies the productivity advantage that large organizations enjoy.
I've got two third-party straps. Basically, only the middle button in the strap works and attaches to the middle notch. Most of the time this is enough to keep the strap in place. But it is not as nearly as secure as it is with the original Apple strap.
I use the original one when doing stuff like playing tennis or squash.
Maybe choosing a tool which has a suggested workflow makes you avoid the "Think about the problem your want to solve with this notes" thinking part...
That article is from 2020, but it seems there has been a lot of progress since then – https://www.deepmind.com/research/highlighted-research/alpha.... I think this might now be a solved problem, or at least it's not clear that Folding@Home is going to be the next breakthrough.
The toys thing is exactly that. It is highly disrespectful and demeaning.

And you keep on returning to this as if it was good when in reality it is signalling how low you actually value engineers.

Maybe you just do not see it? IMHO respect for an engineer would be supporting and growing their specific skill set and character. Not toys.
Nice use of ‘your’ to try and trick us bot. Oh I’ll make a stupid typo to trick the humans
I mean, I can certainly agree that there is a thing as regulatory capture. I am not clear that this is it, though. Making cars safer has legit improved life expectancy. Anti-lock brakes, seat belts, rear view cameras, blind spot indicators, etc. are all very welcome advances that make modern vehicles much more safe than they would otherwise be.
I guess computer science isn’t science /s
20+ years ago I used distcc + jpegtran to rotate a few thousand jpegs. From what I remember I just had to write the Makefile as you would normally.

I think the end result was that the transfer time at 10mbps speeds made it take longer than it would have just transforming locally, but it was neat to see it work!
I'm super sceptical about VR for anything outside of "dock" games like car racing and spaceship simulators and still am. I have however, got a pair of Xreal "AR" glasses that are basically a pair of sunglasses that allow you to have a 120" projector monitor (or set of monitors) wherever you want and they are absolutely awesome and I can definitely see that kind of product becoming the new normal. The ergonomics, price ($399), flexibility to take wherever you want and productivity are just so much better than traditional monitors and televisions.

It is absolutely amazing to just plug in a pair to your phone/tablet/computer laid down in bed and watch a film projected on to your ceiling. People are hooking them up to Steam Decks and they also say it's amazing just being able to play whatever game they want, wherever they want, on a massive screen. Going to be a game changer for anyone who spends a lot of time travelling or commuting on public transport but will definitely filter into the general office and home spaces as well. Will save both companies and consumers a substantial amount of money.

These glasses have been such a game changer for me that I now have ordered a Steam Deck and, depending on how well I get on with SteamOS and Linux, may end up selling my Macbook Pro which would be the first time I've not had an Apple computer since around 2008/9 (save for a few years when I was super poor and couldn't afford one).
Can you give me an example of a Haskell expression which isn't reverentially transparent (without unsafePerformIO)?

> An expression is called referentially transparent if it can be replaced with its corresponding value (and vice-versa) without changing the program's behavior.

^ that is the definition of referential transparency I am aware of.

You seem to be implying that FPers have bastardized the term through their misunderstanding.

But the bog standard FP definition is a real and useful concept. Maybe it stole something else's name? But I don't think it's due to being mistaken. Because the FP concept itself is pretty rigorous.

intelligence with no influence on the real world (and currently not even any form of long-term memory) is a lot less dangerous.
That's unlikely. Elon jacked up the price because he wanted Twitter to make revenue, so get people to use their app and site, and basically to just get rid of anything he doesn't control.
Eye tracking is hardly mentioned in this press release but I think is a Huge Deal. Will allow foveated rendering (huge optimization) as well as increased emotional connection in face to face experiences.

"The eyes are the window to the soul."

edit: My mistake, I misread the PR, quest 3 does not have eye tracking. Boo.
"Instead, ask your colleagues or your community on Twitter why you should pick this project over another. You can also start a new discussion or create an issue on GitHub asking for other people's experiences."

As it gets easier and cheaper to run LLM-based bots, I wonder how long this approach will keep working. Devs in mid-to-large companies should have colleagues they can ask directly, but smaller startups might be vulnerable to being artificially swayed towards specific options.

make a REST API interface to the old fortune linux command. You could probably run it forever.
Rust support was limited in scope and extremely experimental in Linux.

It's more likely to be removed if the effort failed (which it seems to be) than it was to be added in the first place.
For the math stuff you can do things like a builder pattern where you can flatten the nested functions. But operator overloading is definitely preferred
Stars are akin to a like on youtube, which seems to be used in the social game of github. If there is a metric, there will be people worshiping it, and the same is true for those stars. Though, I'm not sure how big the impact of them really is. For example, there is https://github.com/trending where you will see how many new stars the popular projects gained today.
Agreed, this is naked culture warfare and doesn't belong on HN.
I once accused a customer service chat ..'backend' (let's call it) of being a bot, in annoyance - which was met with a slightly pissed-off sounding 'I am not a bot I am human' or similar. ..which wasn't entirely convincing?

(Human or not I think I was already too annoyed with the whole thing/had annoyed them too much with the accusation to get whatever help it was I was looking for.)
When the treasury department spends, deposits are created at Fed bank member accounts. Ultimately these deposits end up buying treasury securities or getting paid IOR (Interest on Reserves) in Fed reserve accounts. So the same money that is spent by Treasury "re-cycles" into new treasuries ad infinitum or till we hit the debt ceiling.
> Turning around and selling that information is not.

Both Meta and Google do not sell your data. No point of continuing if the basics are wrong. Both companies also make it very explicitly clear how your data is used.
Alright so nearly all the 'cheap' stars got detected, but did any of the 'premium' stars get detected?
Meta vows to remove news from Facebook if CA bill passes – The Sacramento Bee
The challenge with any constitution is figuring out where to be inconsistent or not free from vulnerability and unfortunately there’s no right answer to how.

In both of those cases the spirit it to build structural breakpoints in such that it’s harder to accelerate than it is to stop. In my experience speed is what kills ethics.

So my guess is that we’ll be without a CEO for a while so our annual plan etc processes won’t really start in earnest until we’re at a certain size.
This was interesting to me because I thought Sun had purchased the remaining Lisa inventory when, in fact, they were selling it on consignment.

Still, a shitty thing for Apple to do.
Yes, the Quest 2 was very popular for about a year after launch. But how many have they sold in 2023? I suspect it's a lot less.
No, it's not really funny at all.
My teenager plays the Quest 2 daily. Sample size of one (sorta), but he plays with all of his friends. He's in our living-room for a few sessions each day. And, FWIW, it seems like an intense cardio workout for him each time, which I like.
With how poorly academics are paid these days, and the grueling hours they have to work - is "women more readily hired into slave-labor jobs" an advantage for the women, or for the men?
Back in the day, we had requested donations for Firebug (which had millions of installs) and the revenue was embarrassingly pathetic. We used it to give contributors in non-western countries some bonuses from time to time.
At which point could this just be pure random chance? I.e. what if EBV or CMV or similar viruses poking at the immune system are like comic rays hitting non-ECC RAM? Most people won't notice most of the time, and some people will experience mysterious crashes or data corruption that don't seem to have any apparent cause.

I've settled on Odin as well and I think it's currently way ahead for game development than Zig is. Even for other things I'm currently more likely to write it in Odin, despite writing Zig from 2019 to 2022. The reasons really come down to error handling being better in Odin overall with payloads being attachable to errors as well as the context system and zero values making it relatively painless to really only talk about the things that need talking about and letting the rest be unsaid.

There are also several similarities: Custom allocators as part of the ecosystem and language, no RAII, easy ways to propagate and handle errors the right way, tagged unions with table stakes like exhaustiveness checking.

I think Odin and Zig have some fundamental differences (and plenty of similarities) and when trying Odin out I was surprised to find that I preferred the Odin way overall.

For gamedev stuff Odin wins due to a few things; swizzling on a code level is super nice, array programming built-in to the language, vendor libraries shipped with the language that allow you to just get going almost no matter what you're doing, and so on.
Eye tracking isn't mentioned at all. I don't think it has eye tracking.
Peter Sjöstedt: Notes on Process Philosophy
Am an atheist that grew up Catholic and studied at a Catholic school for 10+ years; Jesus was more like someone who knew he had a deep connection to God but didn't know he was a part of the holy trinity until his resurrection. He experienced serious moments of doubt exemplified on the cross when he shouted, "Father why have you forsaken me?" He was intwined with local hookers and is thought to have had a relationship with Mary Magdalene.

That would make his moment of sacrifice an entirely human experience. imo, that but was designed intentionally because Catholics believe that everyone is a somewhat lesser version of Jesus in that way. Everyone has "original sin" and conflicts and doubt, but can be saved by the intent which they live their lives, not mere acts.
True, but volume growth has taken a hit. High end Swiss watch sales are climbing but overall watch sales are down. Swatch has the moon watches and such, but their pop watch market could reasonably be at risk against smart watches.
3M made an exception for key industrial applications. The translation is "In light uncovered impacts to human health and in anticipation of pending lawsuits, we're curtailing wreck-less, excessive, and unnecessary usage of the product in industries where it isn't strictly necessary."
Easily. It's more effective, too -- friction is good for removing debris.
For guys at least it is.

You'll never be happier than the age 14-19 when you are with your mates on a daily basis. One solid block against the world.

Against the teacher, against the principal, against the bullies, scoring weed, scoring alchol, scoring pu*y , against everybody who wants to prevent you from scoring weed, alcohol and pu*y.

The problem is that this lifestyle is subsidized by parents who are the wage-slaves in the whole equation.

And also in this period the stuff is less important than the people you are experiencing it with, then growing up somehow it's the stuff which becomes the core of the effort. Placing too much attention on the stuff then makes you become a wage-slave and lose contact with your friends.

Marriage becomes something to alleviate the mysery not something done with enthusiasm

As someone who departed a miserable marriage and now find myself very alone with very few friends the only advice I can give is take very, very good care of your marriage and take very, very good care of your friendships.

Comparing wife / husband to friends is like apples and pears. It's like asking which of your children you like the most. If friends complain about the time spent with your partner, ditch them and if your partner does the same about your friends, ditch them as well.
Meta seem desperate, for announcing this device, 4 days before Apple will reveal their product
Apparently, Meta sold as many Quest 2s as Microsoft sold Xbox Series X/S consoles (~20 million).

The metaverse is nonsense, and the Quest Pro flopped. But apparently the main Quest devices are pretty compelling toys.

I wonder if this is a high point, or if they’ll maintain the momentum. Also interested to see if they can ever really build out + monetize their game library .

Of course it's a security issue, because having neither SPF nor DKIM means that malicious actors can all too easily impersonate your email addresses and phish users with an email that apparently came from your domain.
Reddit doesn't make money directly from providing a good clean user experience, they make money by putting ads in front of retinas, and they can drive up the value of said ads by mining user data (which can also be sold).

People gravitate towards third party apps because they have less ads, and because since they don't mine for data as much as the official app the user experience is more like "classic" Reddit and less like an algorithmic content pipe alla TikTok.

Most of the things that make the official app shit are the things that make it profitable - it just needs to avoid being so shitty as to alienate too many users.
Referentially transparent means that you can replace an expression with its value without changing the meaning of the program. If everything you can do must be referentially transparent, then that's purely functional programming, because applying functions without side-effects is pretty much the only thing you can do then. Of course, there are some other techniques like rewriting, which strictly speaking are different from purely functional programming, but I consider these two things to be pretty much the same thing.
I mean, have you ever tried one? That seems to be missing from your post.

Some people think stereoscopic depth in visual mediums is more entertaining or interesting than flat images. The same way some people preferred color television over black and white when it became available.

Adding a z-axis (depth) is a higher resolution, higher bandwidth signal.
