This is where quite a lot of people would insert a rant about "state capacity": the ability of the state to actually do things it wants and intends to do. Which requires people to do those things, trained with appropriate skills.

The peak of "state capacity" was undoubtedly WW2, when governments bypassed market mechanisms and became command economies. Out of necessity - war is the one venture in which failed state capacity can end the state itself, and the personal privileges of those running it and the elite around them.

It's not a coincidence that the centralized socialist institutions of the UK, the NHS and state education, date from that period. Heck, the state commissioned the invention and building of cutting-edge computer technology! But since that no longer matters, there's little to no will to build state capacity in computing.
> and std::unordered_map, the more useful general purpose map

std::unordered_map is a hash table. It's not a very good hash table but that's what it is, and so whilst that is much more generally useful, it's also irrelevant to the purpose of map (and thus of flat_map).

It seems to me that if "most code" would be harmed by using flat_map instead of map that's actually good news, since map isn't going anywhere. What I anticipate is the reality is that a considerable amount of code would benefit from using flat_map instead of map, because of the improved performance from linear access.
Not a valid comparison as their work can’t be transferred. This, to me, is arguing that software should be developed for a specific customer and not distributed further. Which probably isn’t what you’re arguing.
Great answer!

What do you mean by not using "you're the best"? an exaggerated compliment followed by a methodic and logical explanation of why you are doing good is not necessarily a bad thing.
Our eyes are non-linear across the spectrum. #A0004F is much darker than #00FF00.

Thats why we have the CIE colorspace and HSB/HSL/etc. All of those use a nonlinear geometry that better maps to the way we perceive colors.
Meh, someone who talked to RMS said that he said that people with disabilities might as well just use Windows and iOS and such, because FOSS wasn't ever gonna focus on making a good experience for us. So no, we don't need more of that, or people calling disabled people's experiences with desktop Linux lies and such. If FOSS is to be welcoming to everyone, it needs to be welcoming to not just sighted, able, nuro-typical men.
So just like Discord then..
Thankfully I haven’t had to deal with a closure. In general though, I’ve had far more luck talking to Stripe on the phone than chat or email. On chat or email the reps basically hot potato your question until you go away. Phone reps were knowledgeable and got me an answer in one call.
Hey, only one of those is a true tech company. The others are failing legacy comoanies, former government owned ones, that just don't get tech / software. And Ms is, well, MS. /s
Interestingly it works fine for me on iOS, but it's completely unusable on Windows. Super laggy on both Chrome and Firefox, although very slightly smoother with Chrome.
Claiming it's 2D in the title isn't enough to say they're claiming it is 2D?

This kind of reminds me of Reddit's "Over 18" popup, where if you are not logged in and click on an NSFW link it will give you two options "Log in" and "I'm not over 18". As if acting obtuse and ignoring the high chance that the reader is over 18 and just doesn't want to log into the stupid website is going to nudge them into it or something.
Like most things, the harms of closed-source {firm,soft}ware fall on a spectrum, and a black-and-white absolutist view is impractical and demagogical.

When the harms of closed-source are high and hard to detect via other means (e.g. Dieselgate, like you mention), I agree that said firmware should be auditable. Maybe even for things like network cards, although in that case it would be very easy to detect any spy traffic via network traffic analyzers, and any company caught shipping network cards with embedded spy firmware would cause a news sensation and be immediately driven out of business.

But when the harms are low-to-none, I'm not sure what good your proposed legislation would do. In the case of the headphones, the best argument you present against closed-source firmware is literally a joke about subliminal messaging.

Grok was once a term adopted from science fiction, familiar only to sci-fi fans.

Almost a century later it's just another word, primarily used in tech circles, but not that different than any other word.

It's even in the dictionary: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/grok
It was much, much, much cheaper than a rewrite would have been, that's why they did it.

Yep copyright is an annoying minefield of rules-by-enforcement, you don't know until you are legally served. Maybe I should have made that more clear in my original comment. My point was that copyleft has instead of clearing some of the mines, just littered the field with MORE mines.

I always assumed "call us" pricing was to give a salesperson the opportunity to negotiate the best deal for the seller.
A very bad comment, that failed to make a point, and that wasn't very humorous.

I meant to make relationship between Psychology and Machine Learning.

Psychology, the study of the mind, with questionable scientific methods and a replication problem.

And

Machine Learning, (that is taking the mind as a model), with questionable scientific methods, and replication problem, and the addition of corporate hype machines.

Often in last few months we stand in awe of what AI achieves, but it produces questionable results, and has a lot of problems. Machine learning is worshiped.

And yet often in last few months, posts on Psychology is railed on and called a field full of con-men and BS-Artists.

Why the duality? Both are young fields and stretching. Rapidly making progress, hitting dead ends, and changing course. The scientific method isn't a strait path. But Psychology doesn't seem to be given much leeway to make errors and course correct.

I just find it hitting a peak right now, because the study of the Human Mind (wet net) and Machine Mind (electric net). Seem to be hitting a lot of the same issues. There are so many parallels in how they are spoken of, so many common problems and how they are framed within each field.

Wonder how long until we just openly talk about a field of Psychology of Machines, where we use the same tools to try and understand what the Neural Nets are thinking.

Try logging in programming.dev and check your network tab.

You will see the request being sent as a websocket. The lemmy author implemented lemmy so as to see how fast you can get the site working. Inferno, Rust, WebSockets. He probably didnt have expect the scaling issues that come with it.

Anyways, I am happy the site exists. Kudos! Looking towards better implementation in the next release
> For story and visuals I prefer films.

I like films, but the problem with them is that they have to cram a story into 2 hours, maybe 3. With games being 20-40 hours, there is much more room for in-depth storytelling and world building. Also, being in control of the main character makes a story hit differently from passively experiencing it.

> or "Uber" in an English sentence, that's still English

That should be "Über", really, shouldn't it?

I don't know, I've never used the service, but the vowel-sound "Ü" doesn't occur in native English. I guess most people just say "Oober" and be done with it. To me, "Über" looks like a foreign word, not an import. In English, I think it's used only as a brand-name, and as part of the word "Übermensch", a term associated with a particular philosophy book.
Yes and no. Coding was a viewed as a "low skilled" job. Everything else, such as design and hard math was done by men.

The problem is that today the supposed CS skills are atrocious. Most self called "engineers" would be laughed at the rest of the world. And, if they dared to stay in an actual engineering job in Europe (with civil accountability) without a proper degree, they would end in jail if something really bad happened. Literally.

Couldn't get it to work on my first try so I uninstalled it. I configured it to only use chocolatey, which I already use, and it showed two identical entries for "Chocolatey" under installed packages, instead of listing the packages that were already installed through chocolatey.
Going into the settings and ticking "use system chocolatey" resulted in only one of the aforementioned entries showing up, but nothing else.
I guess I'll keep using the CLI.
How (or why) do you read "I don't care what your background is, I care what you bring to the table" as "women and minorities suck at their jobs"? OP doesn't say who sucks at their jobs; he says that whoever they are, be they men, women, minorities, or majorities, he doesn't want them.
From my perspective, the best of the internet was probably mid-late 00’s before FB/social media became omnipresent. Before the web became mobile optimized.

One thing I probably couldn’t live without though would be Uber/Lyft. Transportation was a real pain before that.
I think that strongly depends on what you count as "reasonable": smaller models take less memory, so there's a trade-off between quality and speed depending on if you can fit it all in graphics VRAM, or system RAM, or virtual memory…

Just keep in mind the speed differences between the types of memory. If you've got a 170bn 4-bit parameter model, and you're on virtual memory on a 400 Mbps port, a naive calculation says it will take at best 28 minutes per token unless your architecture lets you skip loading parts of the model. Might take longer if the network has an internal feedback loop in the structure.
C23 just got released with new features...
Yes, because they don't have a product to sell, just their labor. But software IS a product.

You could argue that there should be no products at all. Again, what would our economic model look like then? You are using a product right now, HN. Among many others, I am sure.
Autism, ADHD, and various other neurodivergencies can all lead to people 'mirroring' those around them, including picking up others accents. As a notable personal example, my mom and I were recently talking about how I don't 'sound gay', which, while a stereotype, it is actually something I do, especially when around other gay men with the same affect. I pointed out that all my non-southern friends say the same thing about my southern accent, until they hear me talk on the phone with someone back home.

Though I notice it in myself very prominently, I think everyone is prone to this kind of mirroring behavior to some extent, and I could easily see someone living in a new region for a while developing a new accent that doesn't sound quite like the one they came to the region with.
If you claim a fact is true, you should be the one providing evidence.
What kind of nonsense reply is this? What in the previous comment lead you to believe they never experienced diversity? They only commented on the impact of their workplace by incompetent managers, which is a very common experience.
This reads to me like it requires the entire answer to be published under the GPL.

I guess it does cause accidental violations of the GPL, but in the same way as pasting GPL code without attribution. Or pasting MIT code without attribution.

From a layman's perspective, the only difference is if the comment mixes GPL and some incompatible code in it. But that would be ridiculous under any license, so I actually don't know what to think about it.

Could it be that fair use applies to SO snippets?
That someone can’t change their lifestyle for the better(“near-impossible “) is just wrong.
You are describing some fantasy scenario where you have to endure months of pain before you notice any results. It’s just not true.
I believe most people who don’t train their body and eat well have had wrong training from childhood, including me. My diet still sucks but is getting better each month by a conscious unlearning of poor habits inherited from my parents.

An untrained individual(not morbidly obese) who incorporates the following 3 minute workout in their morning routine will feel the changes already on day 2:

Hold a plank, for as long as you can manage

30 second break

Push ups, as many as you can do

30 second break

Again do push ups, as many as you can do

The extremely short body weight workout I described will still create a noticeable improvement and can be improved upon on when the individual feels ready.
What I described will be a good first step and is hardly akin to studying nuclear physics. You don’t have to be an Olympic level athlete to reap the rewards of daily exercise.

In general, an improvement in diet and physical activity, even small changes, has an almost immediate positive effect. Clarity of mind, improved self confidence, better sleep…
Why American and European Trucks Are So Different [video]
Any movement that coalesces around a single person is indistinguishable from a cult.
The benefit of using a strange git command would be learning what a strange git command does and then it's no longer strange. You'll learn how to create, read, update, and delete that new bit of state in git. Then you won't have to wipe, clean, restore local backup, try the git thing again.

You can start saving your work somewhere else, getting a fresh copy, and then try that git thing again when you know how git stash works. What you're proposing is like not learning how an incremental compiler works and suggesting to wipe, clean, restore local backup, try to compile the thing again to fix compile errors every time you have a compile error instead of learning how an incremental compiler works.

While the alternative to a 2 party system may seem obvious, a 2+ party system that's not what you actually get. From a US-type "winner take all" with influential groups & individuals, to preportional representation you end up shifting negotiations into shadowy back rooms amongst unelected officials. In addition, that 3rd option is never coming from the middle. The sizeable movements are even more extreme, pulling the major parties further to some sort of preceived binary position on every topic.
It was the other way around. I was a staunch conservative for decades.
I think it broke for me because I selected 140.06bpm. Adding 'step=1' to the range slider would help if the floating part was the cause.
As someone who has been working as an indie game dev for the past 13 years, I think you’ve got a pretty unrealistic view of the situation.

You can’t just make a “good game” anymore. The tastes of the market get more demanding over time. To put it another way, the bar for what constitutes a “good game” gets more and more difficult every year. There are successful games from a few years ago that would not get any sales if released today.

The Games the Marine Corps Plays
Many times conference organizer here.

Every year was the same, we organized an installfest plus talks about free (as in freedom) software and open source products or projects for people.

Every year was thinking where to do that and start talking to places to get the space.

Every year we declined the idea of patronage from private companies to avoid them controlling something. So, the upfront cost was paid by us (think that a team could be from 10 to 20 people)

That could took us maybe 4 months to organize one day, that must be THAT DAY.

Over the years we got experience and we learn a lot from the people doing this event before, setting a schedule to start meetings, having a base of providers, having contacts to ask for space, etc. Our budget was 0 (yes it is a zero) and all cost should be paid by us, the organizers. So to recover that we made t-shirts, and souvenirs (that needed to be paid in advance) then maybe you didn't lost money when the event was finished. Because people didn't pay a ticket for it, it is a free event.

It was a huge effort to make something like that. Months sleeping few hours, people going crazy to setup tracks for talks, approving them and talking to the people that gave the talk to accommodate the schedule. Having the t-shirts on time and the souvenirs, because if not, we will not broke, but we cannot recover the founds. Having the cables and the network ready, the software and servers to install was also a huge task.

Food and water..? Yes, that is a crazy nightmare

We even developed Eventol[1], a software to schedule this kind of events. Yes it is open source also.

Organizing a conference looks easy but really, if you work and you do that, get good people around you. Look what they are good for and what they enjoy doing and give them task that make them happy. It could sound almost a stupid advice, but is not, if they are not being paid and even when they are paid, if you gives a task were they are bad to or something they don't like, it could fail and that means delays. And your conference is already scheduled and you cannot say: sorry, it will be not this weekend, will be the next one. No.

I was happy to be attendant first, volunteer for some years, then get the experience to be the manager of sooo experienced people and got milestones in the event history, from record of attendance, to earn money and stop losing it (that was for the next year event) or the software we used and it is open to everyone.

Anyway, after the conference.., you needed 8 months to relax your mind and body and start again that crazy idea to run a conference about free Software and for free.

As an acquired experience, when you got that running, you can start thinking to be a wedding planner if you wants to move from IT, because a conference is something like that when we talk about organization :v

Depends where in the EU (it’s not all equal) but yeah. The high taxes generally mean there’s some support if you lose your job.

The amount of support varies wildly and is situationally dependant.

Eg: as an Irish person working and paying taxes in Germany, when I lost my job there was significantly less help available than there was to a German colleague. Which shouldn’t be the case, but it is.
Isn't there something really nice about it though?
It seems to me that most every community gradually evolves into one where every new message from a new-ish member is answered by something like "Duplicate, please search first!". And this in turn makes those newcomers either go away, become passive lurkers, or become part of the "hive-mind" (as only likeminded questions get answered).

On the other hand, if people have to actually converse to get an answer to their questions (like back in the real world), newcomers can more rapidly become part of the community, and help make it more diverse.

People are understandably angry and concerned because Richard Stallman is a longtime supporter of trans people, women, and social justice[1][2], but was somehow canceled by a disinformation campaign claiming that he was the opposite of all of those things.

The campaign was so intense and extreme it nearly destroyed the FSF. It continues to this day.

Stallman has a 15 year written record of his commitment to these causes. If he and the FSF can be canceled in this way, how are any of us safe?

The species of this I most commonly encounter, and IMO the most illuminating of the issue, is Solution in Search of a Problem. People love having a solution to a problem so much, they will hallucinate the existence of the problem the solution is for. Especially when social approval has replaced any actual mission of the org.

In other words, when you have a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
Honestly, I just go with WTFPL.

I have precisely zero belief that software licences actually do anything anymore.
If you don't intend to enforce the terms of GPL against people who borrow parts of your code, it is really not that harmful.. but it would be unnecessarily ambiguous why it would be licenced that way rather than MIT/apache/etc permissible license at that point.

> Indeed, if you had a sensor that you could guarantee never goes offline and measured what you wanted to know with an arbitrary degree of accuracy, there’d be no need for Kalman Filters at all.

Even then, there are cases where using a Kalman filter can be an improvement. Sensors have latency between when they measure things and when you receive the measurement (for example, a pressure sensor might average measurements over a few ms too report more stable readings). If that delay is large enough, you may be better off using a model to predict the sensor data than to wait for 100% reliable but (somewhat) outdated information.
