I grew up with ads and learned to not pay attention to them.

I still use an ad-blocker on all of my own systems, and on my current company laptop.

But a few years back at a different company I didn’t have any ad blocker installed. This was an office job with a desk and coworkers walking past me all the time.

So at that job I’m having the browser open reading something and one of the older guys is walking past me. He stops dead in his tracks and says jokingly “are you looking at women on company time” and he laughs.

I look at him, confused. Then I look at my screen. Whoops! Next to the content I am reading is a huge ad that is pretty much a soft core porn ad.

Embarrassed I say I didn’t even notice the lady. My coworker chuckles and says “sure”.

But really, I had developed built in blinds in my mind that prevented me from consciously paying attention to ads.

That experience reminded me to always make sure to have adblockers installed.

And of course video ads are annoying no matter what, so having an ad blocker is nice for that as well.

Plus who knows, even if I don’t consiously notice ads my subconscious is probably registering it. So having an ad blocker is nice for this reason as well!

> Self driving isn't a sensor problem, its a software problem.

Taking things to the extreme, perhaps it’s actually a networking problem.

Cars should have the ability to send signals and hear signals from the cars around it.

Imagine if Car A could improve its own understanding of the environment using inputs/sensor data from nearby Car B.
>Employees said that they were told that productivity equaled or exceeded prepandemic levels

It's an unsourced claim from the employees. And I agree on the "decent" productivity piece.
> The counter argument is that those metrics are, after all, visceral. The US has 40k traffic fatalities per year. You really think the government is (or courts are) going to kill a technology that could save 20k people every year?

It'll be framed as a technology that will kill 20k people per year.
Thanks for answering! TIL
I disagree that those books are only about government control. Censorship can come from anyone who controls the distribution of information, and these books are still relevant when talking about the consequences of censorship.
`{{ foo.1 }}` is supported and initially was the only syntax to index arrays. But with the need to index arrays with the help of other variables came the introduction of optional `[]` to encapsulate nested vars from the the top level var.
Will update the documentation page in the next hours to also showcase `{{ foo.1 }}`. Thanks for the heads up
Do you think two working parents factors into this? My coworker's families have annual income over $1m/yr, b/c both mom and dad work.

In previous generations, with only one parent working, it is almost impossible to compete.
If the original version of a movie were still available and accessible, I wouldn't mind if its copyright holders created a new, bowdlerized, "palatable" version that was available along with the original. However, that's not what tends to happen. The heirs of old cultural products often make them unavailable in their original form, depriving modern audiences of the original work. This is a side effect of copyright law which I consider to be a detestable, culture-destroying bug.

I'm glad that no one can censor ancient works that are now under public domain. No one can force us to only read less-scandalous versions of Greek mythology or Shakespeare. But most works made over the last century are unfortunately held hostage to excessively long copyright terms, making them vulnerable to extinction when there is a cultural generational change and the new generation decides to disfigure them or wipe them out. In this way we lose access to cultural artifacts that show us what people thought at the time, for better or worse. Sometimes we even lose access to certain ideas that were better that current ones. Societal progress is not necessarily monotonic.

I'm not saying that I approve of all the values present in old works of art. But I nonetheless want to be able to see, hear, or read such works in their original, unvarnished form. I don't want condescending, contemporary censors to look down on me and assume I won't be able to tell what's problematic in old works or will absorb and embrace values that have turned out to be wrong.
> Come on. TFA even says that, and it is a (what seems to be reputable) study coming from Stanford.

No, it doesn't (and an author of it even pointed that out to you here). The CSAM filtering broke after musk's takeover (and since he fired the people who would've been responsible for it, nobody even detected that it had failed and it was only fixed some time after the report's authors notified twitter of the problem).
I have some inheritance cash that I received when my grandma died.

Right now, it is soaking up some nice 4.9% apy, but eventually I'd like to buy a car (waiting for the prices to crash a bit more). It is what she would have wanted (she bought me my first car).

I can't wait to walk into a dealership, with cash, and find out what sort of criminal I am.
I really love the idea -- learning a new language can be pretty embarrassing, and a chatbot is a wonderful way to practice (in theory). The site worked pretty well with German! It would be helpful to be able to click on words I'm not familiar with (or have forgotten - I haven't spoken in over a decade) and get a short definition.

One problem is that often science says nothing about policy.

_Science_ doesn’t say we should ban fossil fuels, but it does make predictions about what will happen if we continue to use them at the current rate.

It’s not science denial to be against the policy.
I think this is still super interesting. It's something humans are unable to do/there's few humans that can. I very much like the pattern of writing basic logic myself and then using a coding model to optimize it. It's effectively what we do with compilers already, this just makes it better.
> You don't spend much time on the Tesla subreddits.

No, but I watch my car drive me around every day. This always devolves into an argument like this. I wanted to talk about LIDAR and limitations, not flame about collisions that woulda/maybe/coulda happened in funny internet videos.

Believe what you want. But if they aren't crashing they aren't crashing. And you won't get anyone to ban cars that don't crash.
I'm not sure if that particular study is a good example of this as everything and its aunt was getting published about COVID back then. It is disappointing that other studies were shut down on the assumption that the mortality results from such a limited (and fatally flawed) analysis were correct, especially given previous knowledge of the side effects and dosing considerations of hydroxychloroquine.
I think bro is always an abbreviation for brother, but sometimes the act of abbreviating is done to save space (like company names) and sometimes to specifically impart informality/metaphor (like TFA). But that doesn't mean the unabbreviated version can't be used metaphorically as well.
Humans haven't mastered that either. The question is which is statistically better, not which is perfect.
> Glenn Greenwald was always aligned with the libertarian right, the progressive gloss was one imposed by people reporting on his actions.

This is false. The progressives loved him when he was a fierce opponent to the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. He is non aligned, non partisan, which of course, the left qualifies as "right wing". His principles didn't change, only that the left became more cultish and extreme.
Agreed. It's a paper thin pretext.
With where we're at with SSDs chasing the performance dragon... I suspect some deception is at play!

The DRAM caches are pretty hefty compared to metadata, so I wouldn't be surprised - though that's about my extent of understanding.

Even then, though - other filesystems are certainly more durable, dealing with whatever these drives are doing.

FWIW, this was with four Sabrent Rocket 4.0 Plus drives in RAID10 with 4K sectors. I'm not sure if these are particularly well known one way or another for deception/trickery

They hold up just fine with either dm-raid or native LVM raid10 under more traditional filesystems (I tested EXT4/XFS, using the latter consistently)
This is somewhat possible. I've created a way to chat to our company's material publicly. We used a lot of prompt engineering and custom guardrails to achieve this. However, it severely limited the length of the conversation that a user can have.
From my experience it's similar to a knight to grab a piece of land and build a castle -- so that he can have a better source of income and better position in the feudal system. And he can then dream of being a lord or something better than a knight.
I self host for years about 30 services, out of these 3 are vital (bitwarden, home assistant and pihole).

I work in IT, I am a geek so I tried a few monitoring systems and wrote two myself.

Then I realized that I have self-sustaining, 24/7 monitoring agents: wife and children.

I gave up trying to have the right stack and just wait for them to yell.

Seriously: it works great and it made me wonder WHY I am trying to monitor. Turns out this is more for the fun, discovery of tools than a real need at home.
No idea but there are low bitrate coms available to submarines that could update that data maybe. The changes should be pretty slow at the bulk scale.
This was educational because I learned about Sorting Networks.

I didn't hear of them in CS undergrad algorithms, perhaps because they can be thought of as a special case or optimization, rather than fundamental and generic variable-length sort algos.

It's a simple concept, and forms the basis of all the sort optimizations described here.

If immigration is an order of magnitude higher than natality, it's fair to say it's a relevant factor. I don't think that's shifting blame, only pointing out that without immigration, there might be more homes built than new people born.
That may have been the case, but it does not mean that all such uses are 100% identical.

I am really surprised at how the remote work situation is evolving.

Despite not mandating in-person work for most of last 3 years, tech and non-tech companies have shipped great products, delivered many high quality projects; on time and within budget, thereby proving that mandatory in-person work is not necessary to make a healthy profit. Given that WFH has other benefits for both employers (lower office costs, access to a larger pool of talent etc.) and employees (reduced commute times, more flexibility of work etc.) so the return to office should be because the benefits of in-person work are above and beyond these advantages. Has this been proven? Can we see the studies? Mark Zuckerberg said that newer employees under-perform because of lack of in-person interaction. Fine, but are there any groups that outperform? What about introverts? Single mothers? Differently abled people?

I would have thought that this was an opportune moment for some of the top companies to poach some top talent. I would have thought that at least one FAANG company would permanently remove the mandate for remote work causing people who wanted the flexibility to start to apply. This would trigger a 'wfh-benefit-war' among the big companies and the smaller companies would follow. However, all the FAANG companies have announced in perfect unison that workers would be mandated to come back to office.

My strongest suspicion is that there is some sort of market failure in the employment market.
The GP is referencing the new UTF-8 APIs that reuse the -A suffixes.[0]

> Until recently, Windows has emphasized "Unicode" -W variants over -A APIs. However, recent releases have used the ANSI code page and -A APIs as a means to introduce UTF-8 support to apps. If the ANSI code page is configured for UTF-8, -A APIs typically operate in UTF-8. This model has the benefit of supporting existing code built with -A APIs without any code changes.

This requires Windows 10 version 1903 or newer. As the version number suggests, this feature is only four years old, and using them prevents your program from working on older versions.

I encountered it kinda the other way around. In a previous job I had developed a deployment system for developers. Some users on one specific team only where complaining their deployment would not show up in the tool. Though they where properly deployed after the pressed the button. Many debug sessions later I sat down with one developer and found the issue. Their team “advertising” had the team name in the deployments. So the request to get deploy status would be blocked because all of them ran adblockers themselves.
I also do not regard Darwin as particularly scientific, though he broke open some flood gates for very scientific research.

And your comments on policy implications are precisely what I am saying we should avoid - Why would we set policy based on studies which 1) are not scientifically rigorous (based on self reporting, surveys, small population, low ability to control confounding variables, etc) 2) do not actually suggest that policy would be effective in rectifying the problems identified in the study and 3) do not necessarily identify problems (e.g. is it really the business of the government to set policy with the aim of optimizing some self reported individual metric, such as feelings of belonging?)
> The fact Apple is winning the laptop GPU race

Fact? Which Apple chips are outperforming the laptop 3070, much less the current-gen mobile 4090?
As a rule of thumb, I avoid using the word "proof" in this way. Proof is great as a mathematical noun, a publishing noun, or a baking verb. What you're asking for, based on your use of "any proof" is better encapsulated in the word "evidence". Evidence accumulates. Often encapsulated in units called "exhibits". Given some test, if greater than 50% of the evidence leans one way, then you have a preponderance of the evidence. If 75% leans that way, the evidence is "clear and convincing". If 99% leans one way, the evidence is "beyond a reasonable doubt".

In this case, we'd start with the test. From Wikipedia, "An anti-pattern in software engineering, project management, and business processes is a common response to a recurring problem that is usually ineffective and risks being highly counterproductive."

Then we look at the top answer on Stack Overflow (2)

=== Exhibit A ===

But ORM can be a pain:

You have to learn it, and ORM libraries are not lightweight tools;
You have to set it up. Same problem.
Performance is OK for usual queries, but a SQL master will always do better with his own SQL for big projects.
It abstracts the DB. While it's OK if you know what's happening behind the scene, it's a trap for new programmers that can write very greedy statements, like a heavy hit in a for loop.

=== Exhibit B ===

Do not try to write your own ORM, unless you are trying to learn something. This is a gigantic piece of work, and the old ones took a lot of time and work before they became reliable.

So, I have presented some initial evidence that tends to support the idea that an ORM is an anti-pattern. If you disagree, you are welcome to cite additional evidence to the contrary. But keep in mind the test elements.

> And, in your opinion, is that a good thing or a bad thing?

It's a bad thing that it stopped working. It's a very bad thing that they didn't detect that it had stopped working. It's a bad thing that it took weeks to fix it. It's a good thing (well, good at best, i'd call it "expected" or "the bare minimum") that they fixed it.
Absolutely, however game developer forums, discords, etc are full of people who obsess over the "ideal" way to do things rather than ship their game and go bankrupt or destroy their lives doing it.

So it's extremely common polite etiquette in the indie game developer to remind people that the end goal is a fun product that you can sell. Many many people lose a ton of money during indie game dev, and it's always a tragedy.

If you want to use a no code tool like playmaker over coding, then do it.
As long as you ship the code. Just keep shipping out your game.
Interesting that it took AI to pull this off. I think mutagen testing would have discovered the first (by virtue of checking which code isn’t necessary globally) though likely not the second (which needs a new branch, unless that branch was already there?).
I don’t mind that someone somewhere chose to make such edits. I care that the edited version is (presumably) going to be the only version available on streaming platforms and (presumably) future physical releases.
Completing tasks by time-boxing at several fixed intervals
Especially in computer programming, I find that you really can take as much time as is given. You often can see people spending weeks on something that could be done in under an hour. The scope seems to grow with the amount of time you have, and the difficulty in asking for more time. Sunk costs also factor into requesting more time - if you have already spend a long time on something, its easier to get more time.

*The idea is to perform a task and produce a demo-able deliverable as quickly as you can in 30 mins. Then 1 hour. Then a day. Then a week.*

The idea is to force people to explore the fastest possible solution first.

I think this can help:

- analysis paralysis - you have to pick your library/framework/technology/approach super fast. There is so much choice and this can help force a quick decision and accelerate the learning by doing rather than by reading.
- motivation - you feel the rush of a deadline in the first day...instead of the "I wish I had more time" feeling just before the deadline.
- "it couldn't be that simple" - sometimes things can be really simple...especially if you step outside of your existing tech stack / process. There might be a library out there that does everything for you...but you embarked on a roll-your-own approach that has taken you months. This forces you to explore the quickest modern solution that you might have disregarded.

I haven't tried it yet, but was interested if anyone has tried something similar.
The idea that he could get a fair trial in the US is beyond ridiculous.
>> smart phones / camera phones were a valid market

> feels revisionist.

Not revisionist. I worked in mobile phone retail from 2002-2007. There were popular, successful camera phones and smart phones even then. However, in the early 2000s, the U.S. wireless market was much slower to deploy 3G than Japan and many European markets.

There were a number of powerful handsets that couldn't even be practically offered in the U.S. as a result of the splintered TDMA/CDMA/GSM protocols and the dizzying array of licensing deals between regional carriers who owned significant amounts of spectrum at the time, making data and roaming plans very expensive and impractical for most retail users. Smart phone adoption was much broader in markets that had full 3G support earlier on.

In 2004, NBC covered the Japanese mobile market, mentioning: "The Japanese use cell phones to surf the net, watch TV, navigate city streets with built-in GPS, download music, take and transmit home movies, get e-coupons, pay bills, play games, and even program karaoke machines." By 2004, 70 million Japanese had internet access on their phones, a threefold increase from 2000 [3].

How Sam Altman Stormed Washington to Set the A.I. Agenda
I agree. I recently went to great lengths in the React app I own to make it so that only the affected components would re-render on each input keystroke, and the result is gross but performant. My opinion is relatively nuanced: I am a proponent of SPAs in situations where they make sense, but if I had a choice I would never use a framework. They always impose at least as many problems as they solve, if not more.

I attempted to build a startup product using a vanilla JS SPA when I was a founding engineer, and the result was predictable: it worked great for me, but nobody I hired wanted to learn some random guy's vanilla JS codebase. I've since resigned myself to using React simply because that's what developers expect, despite all the headaches.

For what it's worth, we ended up migrating to Mithril in the V2 of that startup's product. We all enjoyed Mithril and it scaled really well for us, but my team did have some apprehension about their React skills falling behind.

> This raises interesting moral questions that I'm not sure I have an answer to.

It's not really all that much of a moral conundrum. Marcan's belief - expressed a number of times on his Mastodon - appears to be that he can prevent other people from discussing something, for the sole reason he doesn't want it discussed. It's not a particularly defensible position in an open society.

In particular, he is upset that people on Hacker News tend to point out that a contributor on Asahi - Lina - appears to be a computer-generated anime alter ego of Marcan himself.

Me, I have absolutely no problem with Marcan having an anime alter ego, but I don't think it's entirely reasonable to expect people to refrain from noticing this and remarking on it. Marcan disagrees, and this is the source of the HN-Marcan rift.

(As I've remarked before, I do mind OSS projects listing fake contributors, for both ethical and legal reasons, but that's another discussion.)
