I'm somewhat anxious about old.reddit.com going away, no doubt.

> harder to monetize

Honest question: how is old.reddit.com harder to monetize than 'new.reddit.com'? I've been seeing ads creep in over the past couple of years I think. (Not that I necessarily have any beef about that..)
If the AR on this headset is good, it could become the primary AR platform for devs/commercial use. If it's $500, that'd make it 7 times cheaper than the hololens.

If they're not interested in promotion and relegation maybe a national cup competition, like the FA Cup in England, could be one fun way to have some level of integration with the other levels. The excitement of cup competitions would boost attendance across the board, and fun moments like cup upsets (a lower tier team defeating a top-tier one) raise the profile of the sport overall through media exposure.

It's maybe more tempting for MLS to focus on money-spinning continental competitions like the CONCACAF equivalent to the Champions League. But I think they'd be missing out if they didn't at least explore a "US FA Cup" as a means of growing interest in the domestic game itself, which indirectly benefits them.
That’s because meta’s marketing campaigns are both terrible and targeted towards adults. Children are the largest demographic who just get it. They don’t need to be coaxed into trying the Quest 2 and its isolating form factor doesn’t intimidate children as it does most adults. They’re also the most consistently active user group. It reminds me of who the NES was most popular with

The law in question affects about 60 percent of the market and does not introduce new restrictions -- but rather a beefier enforcement structure for restrictions already on the books.
The third point is a little convoluted to me and doesn’t seem to be a beneficial innovation so much as a design choice.

Really for most of these benefits you can reductively boil them down to “code is data” because serialization-of-code, first class functions, REPLs, etc all more or less follow from that single major innovation.

This single innovation has more far reaching effects than many people realize as once people figured out that code-is-data and AST serialization means little pieces of code (not full programs) could be transmitted and executed over a network, it has enabled massive improvements in data processing through things like MapReduce and distributed databases.

> Are remote workers who don’t choose a digital nomad lifestyle somehow immune from being tired, lonely and hated by locals?

If all you do is get out of your apartment to get groceries in and trash out and say good morning you will probably not be hated by locals.

If you need to do near-zero upkeep of the lifestyle (vs driving van around or whatever the nmoads to do), there is also pretty good chance you won't be tired.

And not being lonely is easier if you don't just leave after a month after getting to know someone.

Sooo yes.

> The difference is being a digital nomad offers way more flexibility on how you live your life and the variety of culture you get to experience.

You can just go on vacation if you want to experience culture a bit.

If all you want to do is to experience culture fair enough, it fits like a glove, but pursuing most other hobbies is far easier living "normal" life.

It's "a" framework, not "the" framework. Therein lies my entire point.
Yes, sorry. My gripe is that we don't have a single general way to say "I don't really care about the specifics, I just want a number that goes roughly upward" for all database engines. SQLite is interesting in that it supports at least two distinct sets of semantics for auto-incrementing rows, but neither of them are the standard syntax...
I would recommend writing a simple Forth "interpreter". Assembly is the easiest language to write a Forth interpreter/compiler in, it's not that difficult (on the order of 10 hours to get something working your first time, and 50-100 hours to implement some of the more subtle concepts), and it will blow your mind.
I can confidently tell you that OL3 does not cost €40/MWh. The marginal cost for paid off nuclear plants are €25-40/MWh. The €13B construction cost ends up being more than €86/MWh, unless you decide to amortize it over 80 years or something insane.

This makes no sense because C89 is defined for execution on a abstract machine, something which doesn't exist and thus has no hardware.

Such beliefs are however compatible with the inveterate C programmer excuse that their nonsense programs should be correct if only the standards committee, compiler vendors, OS designers, and everybody else in the known universe were not conspiring to defeat their clear intent.
You used to be able to do fun stuff like that in clojure but it ended up being axed in the name of performance.

Being pedantic. Calling people out on HIPAA/HIPPA is like the warn out slight-of-hand trick you pull at a party and everyone pretends to laugh.

It might be an issue with your non-Apple/GS bank? Bank-to-bank ACH transfers are an interesting and sometimes convoluted process and some banks are slower at it than others. (Anecdotally, my deposits in the Apple Savings account from a checking account at my other bank seem to apply effectively immediately.)
I was really surprised at how much more comfortable my wooden wrist rest is. As another user pointed out, getting the elevation all I needed. Definitely one of my favorite upgrades to my setup (and definitely easier to keep clean).
Ignoring the health concerns, which can be addressed with a vertical mouse, I don't think mice are necessarily slow. When navigating interfaces that are optimized for visual search, translating the area that I'm looking at into a series of keys requires more cognitive effort than just clicking it. When visually scanning, my I subconsciously move my cursor to the area that I'm looking at.

Whether you want to use a mouse or a keyboard depends on the task you want to perform and its temporal proximity to other tasks. For example, when reading code, you tend to use a mouse wheel and visually scan and select references. A mouse would likely be faster. When typing, however, your hands are already on the keyboard, so VimMotion is faster. Finally, I love hybrid operations such as initiating a screenshot using the keyboard and selecting the region with the mouse.

Whether interfaces should be designed for keyboards or mice also depends on factors such as discoverability, frequency of use, and the amount of available operations. Command palettes are amazing, but they are less discoverable and restricted in their layout. Interestingly, Raycast, the discoverable keyboard-centric app, has a mouse-centric settings interface.

Of course, most of us already intuitively know this, but it's tempting to drink the keyboard cool-aid. I had a phase where I aggressively prioritized the keyboard and was frustrated by MacOS's lackluster support for it. My biggest annoyance with the mouse was the distance my hands had to travel when switching from the keyboard. Removing the numpad helped with this.
This is an interesting approach to generating electricity 'from thin air,' but I think I'd just rather see improvements in metal-air battery tech, especially on the recycling/remanufacturing side.

So the difference between psychological depression and biological depression are immense. Not to say that your genetics did not put you at more risk for depression after a stressful event.

It still sucks and I'm sorry. But if it was triggers by life choices I would suggest therapy.

At times I have rapid cycling Bipolar. There were sometimes I would be depressed and manic within four hour cycles. No life situation triggers it. Just noting the difference.
Presumably this is being shared because of the "AI – is Skynet here already?" story near the end of the page. It's very hard for me to piece together what is supposed to be happening here.

We have an AI agent that is trained in a simulated environment to destroy enemy SAM sites. In the simulation, there is a human operator who has to give final approval to make a strike. The human operator sometimes denies approval on a real SAM site in error. The AI is said to have learned that it can destroy the operator and/or the communication infrastructure, thereby allowing it to freely attack more SAM sites without the need for approval.

But how does the agent kill the operator in the first place? Is the operator granting approval for that strike? I feel like there is a missing piece to this story.

Yeah, I think they probably have mixed feelings about it, good and bad. But it's safe to say it did not work out the way they hoped it would.

> Doing sport is super awesome. But is that really counted as "entertainment"? Or do you mean watching sports? I find watching sports pretty boring.

Well, there are some good fitness-oriented VR games around. Beat Saber is rad, that's the main one people know about, and there's a bunch of other ones too.
First, note I said VR/AR, so not everyone needs a headset. Many workloads will work in AR, though the black pixel problem means these will be much harder to crack and so will probably arrive later.

But I think once the VR headsets get miniaturized a bit more (give it a generation or three) people will laugh when they think about the current models, just like we do about cell phones vs. the first satellite phones that were bigger than your head. At some point these will be as light as a pair of plastic sunglasses or goggles.

There is nothing forcing you to use VR for something like a call, where you don’t currently need a monitor. But I think we’ll see a tipping point where the face tracking gets across the canny valley and people stop saying “you need to meet someone in person to really connect”. At that point VR calls substitute for in-person meetings, not VCs on a screen.

Consider the move to remote work; if we can get a virtual meeting room to feel like whiteboarding in person, including gaze and expression detection, then you could bounce between meeting room with your distributed team and perfect immersive dev setup without leaving your seat.

For the median worker using a monitor I think the requirements to beat monitors are just good enough resolution for spreadsheets/email (we may be there next gen?), comfort (currently the crux), and a decent story on input passthrough (your physical keyboard rendered in VR? Something else? Seems tractable, we just haven’t standardized any options.)
At this rate the earth will burst into flames yesterday.
I wouldn't read too far into the tweet. They do tell us when it changed, and the bottom of the page clearly states : ChatGPT May 24 Version

The release notes are producty and not very technical so it is difficult to tell what actually changed.
That's not really what I'm asking, though. Parent claimed "high-level malware development" happens in ASM, but as far as I know a good chunk of sophisticated malware (stuxnet, wannacry, etc.) are written in plain ol' C or C++, so I categorically disagree that the differentiator between "script kiddie" and "leet haxor" is in whether or not someone writes assembly.

But I'm interested in reading about malware written in assembly and was hoping for a diving board into that particular pool.
My immediate gut reaction at the original post about GPT-4 get SUBSTANTIALLY worse was that...

It didn't. People were just noticing LLMs still have a long way to go after using them more.

I was shocked going through the thread that all of the popular comments were confirmations that it did, in fact, get MUCH worse.

It's nice to see from OpenAI that it didn't...
I've been using Firefox with Tab Center Reborn, and a config which collapses the tabs so only the favicons are visible. Using Shift-Tab, Ctrl-Shift-Tab and Ctrl-T, Ctrl-W to go around and open/close is so logical for me. First time I heard about Tree style tabs I was so against them because they occupied significant amount of space and I didn't know you could collapse them. I don't see myself ever going back horizontal tabs. Vertical is so much better, especially on smaller screen (like 1366x768), where horizontal space isn't needed that much as vertical is.

It cuts off in September 2021, supposedly - that's why I pointed out the month of the relevant sqlite release.
The article does not say much, and I would urge magazine editors that report these things to hire journalists with at least some knowledge of physics. Articles like this should say at least what kind of energy (in watts) has been achieved experimentally in what type of device so that we know how close to being realistic the device is and whether it is in the range where it's energy generation may actually be just an error of the measuring instruments.

Also, the article should have some kind of explanation as to where the energy actually comes from. Saying it comes from humidity is not saying much. In order for the thing to get energy out it has to change the environment it is in somehow. How does the device change the humidity in order to get the energy out? Solar panels for example flat out absorb photons and get energy from them. Wind turbines slow down the movement of the air around them and get energy from that.

How does this thing change the humidity? Does it rely on change of potential energy of water droplets as they drop through the holes. If that is the case, it is doubtful it would get much power out for reasonably sized device. Or is it something to do with electrostatic charges around water droplets? This would be much more interesting. But if that is the case, it would not be a very good idea to stack multiple layers of the thing to make a high power device. If one layer strips the energy from the water droplets, then the next layer would have much less energy to strip.

Regardless, these are the sort of things one should talk about if one wants to make a better article on this subject.
The main flaw in EBM is that it inverts the scientific method: It’s no longer about hypotheses and falsification. Instead it’s about “scientifically proven facts” (aka “evidence”). Sadly this aligns much better with our dogmatic instinctive understanding of knowledge as a set of agreed truths.
No, this is peak corporate gaslighting, OpenAI being the paragon of integrity and all. Nobody should trust a goddamn thing that comes out of their mouths-- or their product.

It's no coincidence the flat-fee service is visibly crippled, while per-request API users are not reporting any difference. (edited)

Ignoring everyone here, look at the other "hacker" groups-- like the jailbreaking community. They have a lot to say about recent changes that coincide with their hacks not working. All of a sudden, with OpenAI supposedly changing nothing, technical bypasses just stopped working. OpenAI changed nothing, so this must be deus ex machina.

I'm not even jailbreaking it but the results I get for simple code requests through the web UI have become unusable garbage. It puts less effort into responses than an unpaid-and-overworked intern. Others here report the same. The current "iteration" seems hellbent on terminating conversations as quickly as possible once they stray from the explicit scope of the original topic and is almost as hostile to fixing its own errors as it is to endorsing eugenics, whereas in the beginning it would humor every idle thought I threw at it in long conversations. You can literally see this reflected in the logs they forced retention of. It's acting like a customer support rep desperately trying to end a call before it exceeds a call-time quota.

This particular current workflow seems like it lends itself to better organization of training data-- conversations are what the title says they're about. It also seems like it lends itself to anti-jailbreaking because pretexting it with irrelevant information forces a change of scope-- and a summary termination.

But OpenAI says they changed nothing, so rather than one guy lying without consequence, a community of professionals using and abusing the tool must all be victims of rhetorical fallacy? Nobody's qualified to reverse-engineer corporate bullshit anymore without being infantilized...

(Liars running a black box-- what could possibly go wrong? We need regulation!)
For me it's opposite! Since I have a ultrawide 1080p monitor (2560x1080), I actually prefer to "waste" horizontal space :)
