The appropriation of “tech” to mean web-first business has gone to our collective heads. Real tech is hard, expensive and mostly progressed by the interplay of science and blue-sky inventions. Not really something easily adaptable to the venture-startup model. We’ve seen a couple of attempts at funding fusion/fission energy along the same lines as SaaS, but honestly, it seems more like a tech-bro indulgence than real technological progress.

Meanwhile the conventional tech industries such as medical equipment, have seen decent progress at the incremental pace of the respective industries. Adding a voice interface to your car, or allowing remote surgery over the net is hardly something we should credit the “tech” companies for.

After 20-some years in the “tech” industry, hoping to get-rich-fast, and THEN do the real tech stuff with that capital, I’m feeling like an extremely well-prepared failure. By now I would do nearly anything for access to a physics lab and funding from a ROI tolerant source. Only problem is that academic funding agencies have been mimicking the “successful” VC model for decades as well…

Reckoning indeed.
Nothing about other people expectations, but not having to worry about where you're going next, or how to get mail or do things that take longer than a couple of days, etc
Oh My Git! looks really cool and useful, thanks for mentioning it! I find it incredible that it's funded by the Prototype Fund (https://prototypefund.de/project/oh-my-git/), and it makes me wonder which other countries have similar funds hackers can apply to.
Michael Flynn is literally a traitor to the US.
tangential question: is there some sort of add-on tool-let that would duplicate the

File-Edit-*-Windows-Help

menu down onto the top of an app's window? Even if it only worked when that window had focus would be good enough for me. I hate going to the top of the screen, only to discover the wrong app has focus

are there a family of little doo-dads like this, and what is the category called?

also, aside, pet peeve: why is New Window always in the File menu, and never in the Window menu, from time immemorial?
There are terrible bugs. I'm not ready to show it to people.
> For example, if you slave away for 6 months creating a report on something, and then the document is never even opened by anyone, your work was clearly valueless.

It seems plausible at least that you could evaluate a potential path forward, decide it is a dead end, let everyone know it is a dead end, have the report there just for backup in case anyone asks, and then not actually have anyone ask (maybe you have a really good reputation). I’d say the report there was still useful, even if only as an insurance policy.
The space station is usually a combination of CGI, underwater floating, and wires.

Tip: Look for a channel called SciManDan on YT. He has regular debunkings on Flat Earth Fridays, and IIRC many of his Tinfoil Tuesdays are also, if not directly Flerf, at least Flerf-adjacent.
That's interesting. I feel like I see benchmarks almost always showing ARM outperforming for all kinds of specific workloads. This is the first one I can recall showing it's not as good performance-wise, however when you add the power efficiency, cost savings, it winds up being better overall.
That's awful. Instead of windows where you can BAM drag a window to one side and snap it in 0.2 seconds, you have to hover over the window, wait a second, press option, wait .1 second, figure out which option you want, mouse over to it, then finally click it. That's insane.
WOW. What’s the compile pipeline to get to valid ROMs?!

I need to dig deep when I get home. This is frankly astounding.
Last night was the first time I can remember where I intentionally avoided YT. I just couldn’t stand trying to find what I wanted amongst all the click bait and advertisements.

The good news is I found what I wanted and didn’t have to deal with a barrage of bullshit and click bait videos.

Yea I used it later on and found some user info but I’m finding that I hesitate to bother with it now.
Yes. I have been burned by this in C#, it’s very frustrating.
Cowen's review is very poor. Graeber famously interviewed a lot of people and they described their own jobs as bullshit and explained why.

Graeber's work might be opinionated but his evidence is stronger than Cowen's flippant comeback.

>> At that point we’ll see who really has the bullshit job.

This almost reads as Cowen is claiming that Graeber's job is bullshit.

Graeber is a prize winning and successful writer and academic.
Police in Japan also go door-to-door introducing themselves to residents, gathering basic info (what is your job, how many people living here, etc), sharing details about recent crime in the neighborhood, etc. [1] While it is supposedly voluntary, I think just about everyone complies.

I personally have always played along as the police are always very friendly when making rounds, and wish to maintain that friendly relationship. I also consider myself a beneficiary of the low crime rates here, and consider participation to be a civic responsibility.

Ok buddy
How come GPTs don't ask for clarifying information?
I don't understand what you mean. You can have a great manager but still not a meaningful job. That's what I meant when I talked about making the job easier and more pleasant - you can have a manager who optimizes for your happiness by making the job as non-tedious as possible. It may still be tedious in the grand scheme, but maybe they're rotating everyone through different tasks to make it less tedious, and you feel that and appreciate it. That's good and will definitely increase your satisfaction, but it doesn't mean the job is meaningful.
Just mercurial madness
Even if your spouse or child was murdered and you know the identity of the killer? This is a very silly statement.
The calving process results in ice already floating in water moving. Archimedes' law means the effect is very limited ~ the height the ice sticks above the surface and the little change in density.

More importantly, the article mentions removing annual effects on Polar Motion. They are averaging - somehow - to look at permanent changes. The annual effects may be an order of magnitude greater, it is not relevant.
In the early stages, the main skill is just figuring out how to get whatever is needed done. You'll probably be wearing many hats, since there are only two of you. If the expectation is you'll build the product, you should have confidence that you can build it.
I believe the main reason is that particular neighborhood in San Francisco is dangerous now. In short, certain areas of San Francisco have escalated from being merely uninviting to dangerously unsafe.

Can an Ask HN response comment be off the mark? Apple is a trillion dollar company and no doubt has encountered this issue when their power users (and employees) look to get work done quickly.

They spent countless hours and dollars into making stage manager but don't implement a simple yet powerful feature.

The wrong question is why would someone want this. The right question is why hasn't Apple addressed it.
Yes, curious about this too. Maybe a quick video handling it to show the weight/quality.

Really cool idea for a product though, love it!
This is confusing, why is there a liberal dismay? Islam has always been contradictory to human rights, but weirdly supported by liberals. What did they think would happen? It's like the bush administration, thinking they could change the hearts and minds, and create democracy in Iraq.
This is a nice introduction. Apparently the author also implemented a full game engine in Object Pascal: https://github.com/castle-engine/castle-engine/. I wonder whether the performance is sufficient; according to available benchmarks (e.g. the CLBG) the code generated by FreePascal is about three to four times slower than C/C++; does anyone have experience with it?
You don’t say…
Data Falsificada (Part 1): “Clusterfake” – Data Colada
Hello, human resources?
But many of us are.
Worse yet, the DA and supes were on board with not prosecuting crimes, so the police stopped arresting people since they'd be out on the street in a short time anyway. People would claim people are poor and don't have money and SF is expensive to that absolves their crimes --the thing is poor people, by and large, are not thieves. The thieves are professional crews. And then, criticism of a DA not prosecuting crime, you know, their job, was met with accusations of being "right-wing," and it still is, though fewer people believe that take anymore. A new supe, who believes in prosecuting crime, Joel Engardio, is, at times, accused of being right wing, despite being a normal democrat. It's nuts.
Thanks, always on the lookout for new supernova YouTube videos, which surprisingly there are very few of which explain actual details as opposed to the drivel that is kurzgesagt. Many of these Popsci videos are even straight out wrong, they’ll say crap like the core produces one neutrino per proton - like the math doesn’t even add up dudes. Your video finally explains why there’s so many neutrinos produced.

Your video perfectly complements the two others I love. I’d say the perfect watching order would be to first see the general supernova discussion by launch pad astronomy[1], followed by your suggestion, then the “how to build a black hole” by pbs space time [2].

Agreed. Apple can implement this feature easily, and the fact that they have not done so reeks of poor business decisions. To the tune of... calculator for iPad...
The point is the increase in spending due to both more applicants and all applicants succeeding in getting the support would be less than the reduction in spending on the being of them. This is very likely true marginally in most benefits systems: there's a bias towards avoiding any case of someone getting an "undeserved" benefit, because this is politically unpopular, even though the system will spend more money than the benefit costs to make sure that rejection happens (not to mention the additional cost to society of the incorrect rejections: ironically the more admin overhead you add to getting benefits the less accurate it becomes, as people who do not have the time or capability to navigate the bureaucracy drop out despite meeting the requirements, but those exploiting the system jave all the time in the world to find the cracks).

(The UK has a particularly extreme version of this: the benefits department is hellbent on rejecting as many applicants as possible, and they lose a huge amount of court cases because of it, at great cost to the taxpayer and the lives of those affected)

Sure, in case it’s necessary, the advice above applies mostly in regards to talking to or being questioned by the police in situations where they are acting in their official capacity and in which you are not directly seeking their immediate assistance. It also applies when talking to police who are not acting in their official capacity about any real or alleged crime that you may be involved in in any way, no matter how tangentially.

Amazon warehouses & retail are actually called out in the book as not being bullshit, as in - the workers know exactly why people would want packages and find it useful.
I for one can certainly appreciate that faith often seems to be unshakeable in the face of contradictory evidence.

When someone’s metaphysical soul passes on, what snapshot in time are someone’s memories plucked from their Alzheimer’s-riddled brain?
I definitely feel this ever since switching primarily to remote work. I buy PC games periodically that are often amazing but I struggle to find myself able to dedicate much time to them because I already spend way too much time in the room taking care of work stuff. Console games are more doable because I can play them on the couch.

Does this make me want to go back into the office full time? Not sure. The quick commute from my bed to my desk might be worth the sacrifice, but part of me definitely longs for the work of the before times.
Wirth's Law will eventually win.
This is like saying "no we don't need a calculator for iPad, the first thing I do is go to the app store and find my favorite 3rd party calculator. Apple doesn't need to make one. this is fine"

It's not that this is causing people to lose sleep. The issue is that it's an easy, tangible fix which would benefit a lot of power users. Also magnet costs money and window snapping in Win10/11 is free.
The Westfield Mall is very close to the Financial District.

Nearly _everything_ in the Financial District was open _only_ during regular business hours -- those businesses were there to only cater to the folks working in FiDi and noone else. Outside of business hours (and during many business holidays) that district was dead, dead, dead.

I wonder how much outside-of-work-hours spillover there was from FiDi office workers to businesses immediately adjacent to FiDi, and also wonder if those adjacent businesses have been significantly impacted now that oh so many people are no longer working inside those offices.
If your parents had an emergency why would they call once and only once?

Every person thinks that their missing feature is the most important feature ever and they’re mad Apple hasn’t implemented it yet. You have even resorted to incorrectly labelling a nonexistent feature as a bug. Imagine what iOS would be like if Apple actually implemented the billions of niche edge-case features like this. It would be an absolute disaster.

I’m glad that Apple sticks to their guns instead of bending to loud niche users.
I read (and very occasionally contribute to) a large number of subreddits that I'm not subscribed to. Recently I use redreader, but I'm the past I did it via the main Reddit website, simply by visiting /r/a+b+c+d..... to show all the posts on the same page.
SF is simply a failed city. Anyone who supports it right now is delusional from living there or has never actually been there. I was there many years ago and felt unsafe with the literal tent encampments on a normal street, human feces everywhere, needles, etc. can’t imagine how bad it is now
Pipewire also worked out of the box for me, and abstracts away ALSA and PulseAudio. It can even handle JACK. It's very nice.
Great analysis, props to these students for taking the time to challenge such a sensational headline. In the conclusion they mention my biggest problem with the paper which is that it appears gpt4 grades the answers as well (see section 2.6 "Automatic Grading").

In a way it makes perfect sense that gpt4 can score 100% on a test gpt4 also grades. To be clear the grading gpt4 has the answers so it does have more information but it still might overlook important subtleties in how the real answer differs from the generated answer due to it's own failure to understand the material.
>It's not the anarchist's job to design improvements, but to make the evolution of improved systems possible by dismantling what's in the way

Hard disagree.

As an Anarchist, it's my job to support the dissolution of any hierarchy that is not democratically operated in a way that supports people attempting to live while also creating communities founded on democratic incentives.

You can't be a passive anarchist and yes improvements need to be made. Who else would be doing the evolving here?

You prefer to just leave organization to the loudest capitalist leaders?
I'm the developer behind Rectangle. There are a handful of features in Rectangle that aren't in Magnet, like being able to repeat shortcuts to achieve different sizes/positions, and being able to modify a lot more of the behavior of the app (there are more settings, and there are terminal commands listed on the readme of the GitHub repo). The main draw is that Rectangle is FOSS, which comes with obvious benefit.

Beyond that, Rectangle Pro (paid, closed source) is where I've put a ton more features. You can find Rectangle & Rectangle Pro at https://rectangleapp.com

Does anyone have examples of games with a client/server architecture, where new clients have been written, but that can still connect to an original server? I think there's a valuable learning exercise in the idea, but I can't find anything that actively courts multiple clients being developed.

I can tell you haven't worked for the British Government!

The bullshitters tend to be better at keeping their jobs than the people actually doing the work. They've had the practice - years of justifying their existence to the people controlling headcount numbers.
> without forcing or shaming others from not following your ideology

that's not what's happening here. What's happening here is that the government is saying to people that they're not allowed to be express themselves.

And for the record, being is not an "ideology"
It will stop when it stops working.
Apparently one would consider macOS, iOS, iPadOS and watchOS real applications, written by developers.

Or maybe they just appear out of thin air, created by pixie dust.
Can you explain? Do you mean people learn to hate others that get included?
>What you miss is that the people working the jobs themselves describe their own job as bullshit.

Tbf this isn't that great of a metric and the book itself relies on it a lot. I've personally seen a few of doctors and surgeons describe their job as mostly bullshit because they're not satisfied with it.
Huh. I've had a very devout (hair-covering hijab, wouldn't even go swimming at the same time as our male colleagues in her "burkini") Muslim colleague tell me that she doesn't mind eating kosher meat if that's what's on offer, because Jews do things properly; otherwise, it's vegan for her to avoid whatever Germans do to otherwise perfectly good green beans or Käsespatzle (for those unfamiliar with southern Germany: yes, there's probably pork in there, unless otherwise specified)
Reminds me of when my foreign wife, new to my country and still lacking local-language skills, settled for an entry-level job at a multinational. It was glorified data entry, and after she described her job to me in detail, I said, “That could be automated with just a few lines of AWK.”
That's my guess too.

Anyway, we failed at computing if we can't edit code a couple of decades old.
That proves nothing.
Yes. Instances are also publicly indexible by search engines.
Well, to be honest this reads like someone playing around trying to understand auth. Seems wise to start with username/password before jumping to passkeys.

Poppycock. until recently, in agricultural societies, families (usually men) were choosing families to cement relationships with by trading children. what the woman (and frequently the men) wanted was mostly irrelevant. see https://scholars-stage.org/against-human-sexual-selection/

If "daddy" is a thing, it's because of frequent age differences, since pregnancy is extremely hard on your body (fatality rates as high as being a soldier in a warzone until the advent of modern medicine).
Right exactly. The conventional ways of writing it would be

\U0001F914 -- must be exactly 8 digits

\u{1f914} -- 1 to 6 digits

Almost all languages have these now, but JavaScript didn't when JSON was invented.

The "J8 strings" extension mentioned technically only needs \a syntax for bytes, which is \yff since \xff is (oddly) a synonym for \u00ff and thus unsuitable.

But I also want to add \u{123456} because it allows people to move away from the weird UTF-16 legacy in a UTF-8 format.
> Presumably they would generally only torture people they believed were guilty,

so in their system of belief, they are truthfully guilty.

the question I am asking is whether you can divorce truth from confession.

if the society cannot believe that a confessing person is indeed guilty, then it will not uphold societal order.
Thanks for the detailed response. I was aware that early keyboards were uppercase only which results in the bitwise operation for ctrl key being applied to the ASCII code of uppercase characters only. I too use ASCII codes of uppercase characters only in my post although I write the key sequence in lowercase, e.g., ctrl+g along with decimal 71 as the code of the modified character.

However, I was not aware that '@' was shift+p in bit-paired keyboards. This revelation resolves a few other mysteries for me, so thank you for sharing this bit. Indeed https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:TTY33ASR.jpg shows '@' on shifted 'p'. I do see now how ctrl consistently toggling the 7th LSB explains all the control codes in the ASCII chart. So it is only ctrl+space that sticks out as a special case.
I was in SF two weeks ago, it had been about 5 years since I was there last. I can say I was shocked. I stayed at the Ritz Carlton, and there were homeless drug addicts out front around the clock. Not just one or two, but a lot.

You could walk the sidewalk and more cars than you could count had the windows broken out of them from thieves. We had dinner at Brenda's French Soul Food where we witnessed an armed robbery. We called 911 a dozen times. The police never showed up. One in my party was told by the dispatcher unless there is an injury, they may not come.

I'm not going back until this is fixed. I'm not sure how it gets fixed.
I've used Magnet for years now. Always works well and is super simple.
You don't really need multiple result sets, you can do lateral joins (cross apply in microsoftish) to bring in any unrelated data and distinct the result. And fancyql doesn't provide any alternatives, so it makes no sense to even bring this up.

Good on ars to update the article
I have a simple script that I have constructed to deal with the police when/if I ever get questioned. I feel it strikes a good balance between the potential ways of approaching this.

While I would like to be helpful to your investigation, in order to ensure my rights are protected, I cannot speak with you without a lawyer present. I appreciate your patience and understanding.

In my mind, this balances being respectful, dealing with potential follow-ups in the vein of "only a guilty person would say that", shutting down potential conversation, etc.

If anyone has good edits, I'm all ears.
Tesla of course wanted direct distribution. Existing automakers lobbied against it. I guess each got what they requested, but only for themselves. It's sort of like a Judgement of Solomon response.
