The average comment is more in-depth because there's a long history of thoughtful moderation by people like dang. The community has learned what the bar is, and now holds itself to it (more or less). The social standards here didn't come for free, and if you were to take a random selection of the HN audience and get their Reddit profiles, I strongly suspect you'd see a notable difference in the quality of the content they post to the different platforms.

Multiple layers of security. Yes in theory I could audit millions of lines of C++ code to see that LO does not access the microphone, but I also like that the sandboxing layer prevents it from happening entirely. I'd rather audit a permissions list than an entire codebase.
One thing I don't understand is how feeding the entire conversation back as a prefix for every prompt doesn't waste the entire 4K-token context almost immediately. I'd swear that a given ChatGPT window is stateful, somehow, just for that reason alone... but everything I've read suggests that it's not.
Virtual reality startups pin hopes on Apple to lure back funding
I once tried microdosing LSD for a few weeks.

The effect that I experienced was that it became physically impossible to procrastinate. I'd try avoiding an unpleasant task by e.g. going on the internet, but I would just be consciously aware that I was sitting in a chair, looking at a screen, trying to avoid thinking about the task.

The only way to get things off my mind was to do them.

I found this quite refreshing.

It also worked with physical mess. Normally mess is background to me. Microdosing made mess un-avoidable, like "a splinter in your mind", I had to keep the place clean if I wanted to maintain my sanity. I appreciated that aspect, it made me make my living space beautiful.

It also seemed to benefit anxiety and depression, at least initially--seemed to swing back into mood swings and depression a few weeks later. Though I can't compare with a version of me who wasn't microdosing, so it may have just been the usual seasonal depression, or the result of lifestyle changes (had moved countries) rather than the microdosing.

I'm vaguely open to trying it again, but I'd have to be at a very good and stable place in life, which sort of defeats the purpose.

Re: Anxiety: its effect on social anxiety is best illustrated by an anecdote. I was getting a vehicle from a garage and on the way out, naturally made casual conversation with a guard. Ordinarily, I consider myself introverted, asocial and somewhat on the spectrum. I socialize "manually" which makes it awkward (not knowing what or when to say).

I think it might have been a boost to curiosity/openness. Normally I wouldn't even notice the guard, or I'd just smile and hope he doesn't start a chat because I wouldn't know what to say, whereas microdosing I was much friendlier and more curious about other people and their experience.

In many ways I "liked myself better" during this time, and wished I could be that way all the time. But it became too unpleasant to continue.

I began to notice patterns in the world you aren't supposed to notice (it would be unwise to elaborate further) and it ended up costing me a few relationships. (Arguably I am just an asshole and it brought that out, but it's certainly a strange contrast to the increased friendliness in the first few weeks.)

Overall, it may have been a net positive, but it's very unclear, and I wouldn't recommend that anyone treat it lightly! Caveat emptor! Those who need it the most are also the most likely to suffer serious complications.
I agree on the suggestion to do part two, it's where things get really fun!

One thing you can do with the finished Lox (or Monkey, if you prefer WACIG) before going into the world of intermediate representations is implementing a peephole optimizer. You look for reducible patterns in the bytecode, and replace them with optimized bytecode. You can also look for certain patterns and replace naive implementations with native builtins/intrinsics. You can work with the raw bytes of the bytecode, so you don't need to introduce an IR just yet.

The Apex compiler at Salesforce does a vast majority of its optimizations as peeps.

I thought the issue being discussed overall was presenteeism in food industry jobs causing customers to get sick. Work ethic isn’t created by not allowing humans to isolate when they’re ill either. It’s a public health issue. Will people take off sick when they’re not? Of course. I don’t think that has a social stratum. I take off when I’m not sick using my sick leave as a “mental health day,” and I’m in the upper end of the upper end of the labor force.
How could it possibly be reasonable?
It's C++, the whole thing is interesting security wise.
I actually prototyped the thing in python the first time around, but performance was too poor to pass through even a single joystick, so Rust it was, lol.

As for software translation, that was out early in the design process: I needed Windows and I did not want to write a Windows device driver or fight with code signing. Nor did I want a Windows-only or Linux-only solution. So the only solution was to control the platform the software ran on (-> raspberry pi), then drop down far enough in the stack that everyone agreed on a protocol (-> USB HID). I would have been very very happy if I could have implemented this at a higher level.

I’ve spent over a decade designing and implementing modern software systems: web and mobile clients, cloud-native distributed systems, CI/CD orchestrators, auto-scaling data pipelines, public APIs, automated testing frameworks, custom DSLs, developer tooling, and so on.

But you don’t really care about that, I imagine. You want to run a more efficient business– to free up time and resources. That’s where I specialize. As an automation expert, I eliminate existing inefficiencies and uncover untapped automation potential. Let me help you streamline operations and reclaim
the most precious resource: time.

...

... and I have to do it on my time.

... and at my expense?

It is extremely sluggish on all my machines (both Windows and Linux with large amount of memory and cores).

I don't mind the start up performance, it's fine.

But scrolling is sluggish, drag and dropping is painful, opening mid-sized spreadsheets takes forever, and on most of my machines even just typing have a noticeable delay.

Even Google Docs feels noticeably faster and it's running on 12 more layers of abstraction so I can't really explain why is LO so bad...

Note: Disabling Skia or hardware acceleration completely does help with performance on some computers.
This is very interesting, and makes me wonder if it's analogous to the old joke that the highest bandwidth pipe you could get was a semi full of DVDs.

I've been curious if someone would eventually run the numbers on something like this to see if it makes economical sense to transmit power in bursts like this.
I wonder to what extent governance itself becomes a myth at mega-nation scales. The system may behave as if governed, but if it decides not to could anyone stop it?
You are not.

When you charge a battery you are pushing electrons from one chamber in the battery to another. A discharged battery is like two tanks of water at equal levels, charging is like pumping water from one to the other so one has a higher level and thus potential energy.
Yeah, it would be like satellite TV, with each receiver having a unique key (well, each receiver has a card interface where one can plug in a card with a key. The satellite TV signal sends encrypted decryption keys and as long as you're a subscriber, the chip on your card will be able to decrypt one of those keys, which in turn can decrypt the encrypted broadcast signal.

AFAIK originally the DoD weren't thinking of making GPS for public, just for military. Having these requirements would just make it extra complex, and unnecessary. First, it would require a lot of bandwidth, and then yeah, a bottleneck for how many receivers can be deployed, and it could take a lot of seconds until a unit finds a matching key to decrypt. Imagine a soldier needing to wait for her equipment to get the key to find her location while in a firefight...
Yeah, this is just a weird ass conspiratorial article. I didn’t read the whole thing, but I kept scanning for FOIA documents and the like, and never found any. It’s just captured pilots said so in North Korean media. Well, that’s not very reliable source.

Did the US do a bunch of sketchy things in the 1950s and 60s? Absolutely. How do we know? We have the government documents. This guy has nothing, except sources of very dubious reliability and his own biases.
The birth of the US biological warfare program took place at around the same time as the birth of the US nuclear weapons program, but the former is far less well known - because the nuclear weapons were actually used, and the biological weapons were not. At the same time, Nazi Germany had also developed a massive chemical weapons program based on the novel nerve agents, sarin and tabun (developed as organophosphorus pesticide agents but found to be far too toxic for use on crops), at the same time. Nazi Germany never used these agents (though Goebbels apparently called for their use against the Normandy invasion by US allies, but Hitler feared retaliation by similar means so nixed it).

A not-too-bad overview of some of this history is in "The Biology of Doom" by Ed Regis, but it was written with CIA cooperation and hides a lot of facts, such as the scale of the insect-borne disease vector program (i.e. things like spreading fleas infected with bubonic plague, or distributing insect pests to destroy crops, or the chemical destruction of cropland by Agent Orange in Vietnam).

Regis claims the US biological warfare program wasn't sufficiently advanced to launch attacks on Korea, but the US had also collected all the data from the Japanese biological warfare program from Shiro Ishii, of notorious Unit 731, and this wasn't revealed until the 1970s. Best evidence points to a fairly experimental biowarfare assault being launched on North Korea, with poor results. Quite psychotic, but that's America in the 1950s for you.

The offensive biowarfare program ran from 1942 (see 'Merck Report') to 1969 when Nixon closed it down (publicly anyway) after a massive sheep kill caused by US Army testing of VX agent outside Dugway Utah. Look up "Shady Grove" etc, for example, which demonstrated you could infect the entire eastern seaboard with a few jets loaded with liquid suspension of anthrax spores:

Have you ever observed that poorly performing employees are paid similarly to high performers? Sure there's sometimes a discrepancy, but it's generally within the same order of magnitude. The same applies for executives. Poorly performing execs are still remunerated appropriately for their position. You can't usually tell how well an exec has performed for at least a year or two, especially if they're coming into a chaotic (read: poorly managed) organization.

Hopefully the organization is capable of weeding-out poor performers, but it's no easy thing. Again, the same goes for executives. Poor performers (should) get fired by the board. If they're not, the board is failing. In this case we're talking about an exec who has been at Netflix for 20 years and was one of the people who built the company from nothing. I don't think anyone is suggesting he is a poor performer.

You seem to be labouring under the assumption that leadership is easy. It's anything but. Well defined processes, high-functioning departments, all of that is fragile as hell. A few key people turn over, formerly-respected processes start being ignored, things go to shit. This has happened time and again. One of the jobs of leadership is to keep people accountable. Why would anyone follow a process that no one is checking on? Especially if the person is new or they feel the process gets in their way (which it often does!).

Did you even read what ChatGPT gave you? The second article is real but it doesn't support the statement that video games cause violence. ChatGPT even said so itself. The third article is also real but off topic and neither supports nor refutes your thesis.

This is exactly the kind of worry several other commenters on this thread have talked about. Human verifiers might not be enough because we aren't used to verifying the work of AI that is wrong in a very different way that human assistants could be wrong.

I remember getting a pirated copy of this game many years ago. A friend at school would give me bootlegged disks and this was one of the games. I would just get the disk, and no instructions. I think I played it a little, but didn't get into it. I didn't really understand how to play. Maybe I had seen a review in a magazine with some details.

My Dad was an economist. When he saw this game, he was really impressed by the interface. He thought it had some really interesting ideas, like the auction mode. If I remember correctly, he thought it could help as a teaching aid.

Nice to see it back. I'll have to try it again.

> Lula is adept of the so-called "class conciliation", therefore he is not a communist by any means.

That he even mentions this marxist class bullshit is bad enough.

> Lula is against the idea of a revolution, with makes him a social democrat on the left spectrum, at most.

If you actually watch the decades old videos where he explains why he's against it, you'd realize it's because he thinks they don't work as a communist regime installation strategy.

His plan is to do it small bits at a time so that nobody notices. Boil the frog slowly so it doesn't jump, as they say. Since he's a cancerous old guy, he's been accelerating his schedule as of late so it's become a lot more obvious.
I wonder if this will cause a value shift where long winding prose goes out of fashion (to the extent that it hasn't already) and terse information dense prose becomes the ideal.

I think there's a question of what bar you're trying to reach. The mid-teens driverless car hype seemed to promise ubiquitous driverless cabs everywhere.

I think what people will expect is that you can call them and they'll come any time a human-driven Uber would come. By that I mean on a rainy night, or in the winter in a northern city. I really would like to see them operating year-round in someplace like Boston or, better, Pittsburgh (SF-like hills but with snow).

They have in fact relied on misleading marketing massively inflating their capabilities in this regard.

You know what? Screw Reddit. Let them kill the apps. It's the push we all need to realize that open platforms are what is needed.

I see, a wonderous hack. Sounds like something a build tool/plugin or code transformation step could make it work magically behind the scenes. It's cool and also a bit horrifying (haha) that this is possible dynamically, to stringify a function and send it over to a worker thread to run. After all, code is data..
Tesla’s insistence on using vision alone is pretty dumb. Elon and Andrej Karpathy argued that since humans can drive using just vision, that’s how we should do it in self driving cars, but I think that’s a flawed argument. The proper question to ask would be - if given additional senses, wouldn’t humans use them for safer driving?

>can we just decide as a society to let people take occasional sick days and stop wasting everyone's time with short-term sick notes,

I see it as the few arseholes ruining the system for everyone.

That is to say, there's that arsehole who takes leave by lying about having a flu or typhoid or dysentery or whatever else and he ends up costing the company too much in wasted time and pay. So now everyone has to get a note from someone who will insure their reason for taking leave.

Which is to say, don't blame the doctors nor the honest patients and workers. Blame the few arseholes that ruin everything for the rest of us.
The amusing thing is that there are both articles saying self-driving cars are far away, and articles complaining there are too many self-driving cars in their neighborhood.

It easily blends in with links that haven't been visited and it seems to get worse when any "amber"-like tint is bieng used on the display (nightshift, nightlight, flux etc).
