That's perpetually true. "You're trying to do machine learning on a desktop PC?" "Hmmm, I wonder if we could use the GPU as a math engine?"

But holy cow, that chess game really pushed the limits!

(A side note I like to bring up occasionally: my first "computer" was "Atari BASIC" on my 2600. It had 63 bytes of RAM, I think. That didn't last long until my parents brought home a TS1000 with a luxurious 1KB of RAM.)
Not really? It's negligible if you have a mat.
VSC feels outright snappy compared to regular Visual Studio or Eclipse. Of course one can easily bog down VSC with a bunch of bad plugins, but i really can't complain.
Do you mean that I should look for users' interest and feedback about a WebRTC transfer service on Wikipedia?
> - Canaanites and/or Hyksos who spoke a Semitic language repurposed Egyptian hieroglyphs to construct what would become the Phoenician script.

- If they did it was via demotic script[1], Egyptian hieroglyphic writing of cursive form that was used in handwritten texts from the early 7th century BCE until the 5th century CE.

- Phoenician and Ancient Hebrew (or Paleo-Hebrew / Proto-Hebrew) alphabets[2] are very similar if not the same. Talmud even calls it "Lebanon script".

"The Paleo-Hebrew and Phoenician alphabets are two slight regional variants of the same script."[2]

BTW: this is a well researched area, I'm just too lazy to find the relevant papers/books. But there are relatively good resources even on YouTube, but not necessarily in English.

Show HN: NomadGroups: a list of digital nomad communities
Hey HN,
Sharing something me and my friend Martin put together over the weekend.

When we traveled to a new location we had to look around and find the local WhatsApp and Slack groups, where other travellers scheduled events and meetups and shared useful tips.

We built this to solve our own problem - a free and crowdsourced list of group chats and communities that anyone can join when they land in a new city.

Try it out and let me know what you think.
Such an awesome article to read.. how something `simple` can be extremely challenging to execute

It isn't. The random companies are spending tons of money to bail out Property Owners meme is a nonsensical conspiracy theory some people have decided to latch onto.
Er, how exactly does a tool that runs inside Emacs lessen our dependency on 50+ year old tech? Ok, Emacs is not quite 50 years old yet (first release 1976), but it's no spring chicken either...
It's not unsolvable. Colorblind people are missing one axis of color (such as the red-green axis). It is perfectly mathematically possible to pick colors that do not only differentiate along this axis, hence this option in many AAA games.

Here's an online simulator to see what colorblind people of various types see. Note that if you yourself try this and the colors for one of the examples don't seem to change from the "normal" version, see your eye doc...

It may not be stressful for you, but it ends up being stressful for anyone who has to rely on the resulting programs. When they have a security issue due to a buffer overflow, or a crash due to a null pointer error, etc.

The "just trust me bro" school of programming is not suitable for delivering serious systems.
Heheheheh. Bare-knuckled, but I like that approach.

Beyond instructing emergency responders "if it doesn't stay away, just smash its windows" (mentioned in the article, at n=1 scale)...I wonder if robotaxis have some convenient central depot, which might find its driveways block by emergency street repairs, or some such.
A different spectrum per type of colorblindness. It should work fine, unless you're completely blind to all colors, which is a very small proportion of colorblindness, most are only lacking perception of one out of three colors.
An average programmer in Poland earns 18k PLN net monthly, which is around 14k PLN after taxes. This is 5 times the minimal salary - UoP after taxes equals to ~2709 PLN monthly. You can earn 6k even at an internship outside of Warsaw. This allows you to live in really comfortable conditions, no matter what city you're in.

In my opinion, Poland is one of best countries to be a programmer in Europe, due to the possibilities of overseas remote work, low costs of living and very low taxes. As for Germany - well, maybe someone else can chip in
I use a space indent colorizer plugin that I use a grey scale color scheme with.

It isn't a complete replacement for bracket colorization, but it helps in a lot of cases.

(Not colorblind, I just prefer a grey scale theme for my indent reminders!)

It is not hivemind. People are simply split on this and I believe (no data to back it; just an assumption) that a majority of us are pro-WFH. I work for FAANG. Even the middle management folks, who said something along the lines of "I went to the office the other day and it was nice to quickly chat up with a coworker to agree about something" a month before RTO was mandated, don't show up the minimum required 3 days a week at the office these days. One of them has been using excuses like "childcare emergencies"; another one has been using excuses of feeling unwell (I wonder why they said what they said ~2 months ago). In the meantime, the head of the division (the VP) is nowhere to be found in the office (asked coworkers who go back to the office reluctantly).

I have a remote exception for now, but I think they will take it away soon and when they do, I'm leaving. I don't want to waste 2 hours of my life commuting either by public transit (less bad) or by driving (really bad because it is very dangerous to drive in the metro area I live). I am 100% productive working alone or coordinate with coworkers remotely (in fact, I spend on average 9 hours a day working when WFH). I will NEVER go back to the office. If the company doesn't have fully remote roles, I'll skip applying for them happily and it is their loss.
This same author has appeared on HN no less than 3 times for different articles about why the headset that they haven't seen in person is going to have serious hypothetical issues. And none of those articles have been convincing, because they've all come across as "here are some standard problems, slathered up with technical jargon, in XR: the VP will DEFINITELY SUFFER from these, even though I've never used it"

Wait til the thing comes out, use it, tear it down - whatever - but provide real facts to back up your assertions.
I tend to agree. Another big red flag that a company is one to avoid is if they say things like "we're a family here".
Do you mean you skip the project’s container config and set up your own? Or just skip containers entirely?
I support a few web novel authors on Patreon, and the website on mobile is so bad that I read the new chapters in my email client.

In fact, I am extremely hesitant about starting any new subscriptions because of how bad it is. (and I do not look forward to reading all the catchup chapters on that interface, not to mention trying to search through where I left off on the publicly posted content without getting spoiled by chapter titles.)

It takes ages to load,
content is not on pages, its all streamed in order, and there is just a ton of lag trying to scroll through and find things.

If you click away and try to come back, welp, good luck finding where you left off, better hope you had that chapter number memorized.

Did I mention the lag? It takes like 10 seconds to load a text only section.

There is search, but again the lag is aweful.
Prohibition reduced american alcohol consumption by about a third according to most estimates, and before it, americans were drinking insane amounts of hard liquor. Like the equivalent of multiple drinks a day.
Mmmhhh should that not be highly efficient for flash based storage?
That's surprising to hear, because I use vscode every day and its performance is miles away of any JS apps I've ever used. It truly feels like a native app when it comes to performance, at the same time keeping some "fluidity" of web app (like scale the entire UI with single key press or reloading the entire app like a web page).

I'd say I never had issues with vscode performance and actually its performance is a major factor why I use it.
That's interesting, I don't find VSCode slow at all, even when working on large workspaces via SSH over a high latency link.

Sure, there are native editors that are snappier, but not to the point that affect my productivity in any way.

The one thing that VSCode does not handle well is large files (e.g. DB dumps, large JSONs, logfiles), but for coding, it really is not an issue.
I recently noticed, that code window scrolling is a bit smoother and faster with terminal window closed. Could this be one of those "10kx faster" opportunities?
I'm used to Svelte, and I remember last year when I tried to install a basic NextJS starter template (create-nextjs-app) I had to wait a minute or so for all the npm dependencies to install. I then checked my project folder and it was 600MB....mindblowingly bloated.
I'm no environmental saint. But I fear being wasteful so I tend I buy midrange phones and keep them for years. My laptop is 12 years old (a battered sub $1000 ThinkPad still running a lightweight Ubuntu spin just fine).

I asked the question because I habitually agonise over purchases, particularly "things". The robovac made me realise I might be missing out for no good reason on things that could improve my life. This post is an attempt to balance my default deny approach to spending.

On the other hand, I was talked into buying an OLED TV recently, which in retrospect probably wasn't worth it. It's better than my old 1080p TV, but after a couple of days I got used to it and stopped noticing.
But these "micro optimizations" aren't going to win anything!

Just keep everything slow and then everything will be alright.

I run a progressive online coworking community that I don’t want to try monetizing until I started asking why I’m unable to get a better career job (I can’t do Leetcode and buckle under interview pressure when non straight forward things are asked.

I was thinking of asking for donations to cover my own coworking physical spot. The reason I thought maybe it doesn’t help is because the last time I was there I wasn’t talking to people really. I thought that meant it wasn’t for me. However the decent ~12 min drive, getting away from the house, being around people, it was really nice.

The online coworking on Zoom suffices sometimes but not when I’m already on there all the time helping manage it.

I have people at home but the negatives outweigh the positive when I’m there all the time instead of only a couple hours a day outside sleep.

Thanks for getting me back into this idea

Very true, I suspect part of the changes at Reddit are being driven by them wanting to hoard their data from AI's et. al or at least make them pay for it.

The slowness that I've observed almost always comes from the language servers. The rest really isn't much worse, if at all, than something like emacs.

I do keep looking for lighter options, but have yet to find one that actually does all the things I want. Vim and emacs are okay, but getting the right plugins to get the right features I want is a pain. Other options seem to lack the ability to add those features at all.

For older grades, lots of states let you teach with a degree in the relevant content area—have a math degree? You can teach math. Some may require a graduate degree, but others, a bachelor's is enough. Might need to take a couple classes or do a short practicum and pass a test to get a certificate, but it's not a large burden. Not a lot of people take them up on the offer, AFAIK, and the ones who do usually don't last.
Right, thanks, I missed your point.

Highjacking for self-edification as you led with math...

Is math going to become more important for software engineers in general, as AI is adopted in to more and more aspects of the SDLC, even if said engineers aren't working directly on the AI systems themselves?

I ask because I'm quite math averse (dyscalulia). I am self-taught engineer, largely because it became glaringly obvious I wasn't going to be able to complete a CS program, so I pivoted my educational focus.

I still manage a relatively successful and effective career in software. I love the engineering aspects, e.g. programming, system design, problem solving, pattern recognition, etc.

When it comes down to it, I couldn't calculate my way out of a wet paper sack. Are my days (pun intended) numbered?
What I've found in my experience is I started putting up boundaries instead of being a "yes" man and those I've worked with have responded pretty positively to it. Most of the time they're just trying to figure out their own emergencies so as long as they have something to tell their boss it's cool – "We won't be able to meet with xyz until Thursday since they have limited resources" "Okay, update us on what happens Thursday then".
These types of articles act as a kick-starter to reflecting about your own thought-patterns and antagonisms. I'm sure you've read articles or watched videos precisely about procrastination etc. just like this article -- and it did nothing to help you with your own procrastination (and the other millions of people that are procrastinating). Every such article has a goal of "be happier" "be less anxious" "stop procrastinating" etc. but what they're essentially saying is "be happy", or "don't procrastinate" etc. After stating the overall trite, they go into personal details about what worked for them to address the trite. However the details are usually highly personal and won't work for you or anyone really who doesn't have the same belief (system/thought pattern/mentality/personality) as the author. In fact the author mentioned this himself in the article by pointing out that not everyone thinks the same as you (So then: why are you telling us about the implementation details of the solution to the trite instead of really drilling into what thinking led for the implementation to be effective?) At which point do you stop drilling into your meta-thinking? It's hard to know, and it's hard to drill-down as well and as you drill-down things become more personal and not applicable to a general audience.

Make it work, then make it fast is in most cases what you should do.

I've done almost all development in vim up till 3-4 years ago before switching to vscode. It's more than fast enough for me.

Good point.

> In real life, we need to interact with several people at minimum normally, weekly.

I think that's one of the problems with social media (aside from AI.) It's too easy to restrict your contacts to only those you agree with.
> there is no correlation between days attended and skill/aptitude.

This may be true, but there is absolutely a correlation between days attended and amount learned.
> This makes it impossible to use any components hosted by third parties without getting consent by the users.

That is simply not true, please do not spread misinformation like this.

Using/Embedding third-party resources is allowed IF it is e.g. technically necessary to provide the service or core functionality at all.

Collecting personal information and using a third-party service to do so in a shop checkout? That's okay.

Collecting personal information and shoving everything into Google Analytics because you want to know how many people visited your site? Not so okay, there are less intrusive ways to do that.
It's a bit of a tradeoff, really.

The upside is that you no longer have to essentially write an entire OS if you just want to make a light blink, making it way easier to get started with a complicated project. The downside is that all those layers of abstraction make it really hard to figure out what is actually going on, and they can quickly get in the way when you are trying to do something which isn't a 1:1 match to the high-level model used.
I hope you left that place in a hurry. And told them why. What an idiocy.

I know it's electron and a resource hog, meanwhile I virtually never need to reboot it and it never lags for me and I can't recall it crashing on me. Maybe I don't type fast enough to notice some of the laggy behavior but that's how I'm conditioned to believe it's just fine for me and I run it on a MB Air. I've used several IDE's over the years and feel like if I had something performance-wise to complain about I would have noticed it by now.
No I am sure they don't give you access to the Passthrough data or gaze details to the app in VR mode unless there are quite a few people wrong on this too. And since in VR you are completely outside the rendering subsystem I don't even know how you would interface whats in your app and the gaze hover trigger etc. My guess is the slide is referring to the MR unbound mode (full space they can call it to muddy the water). I would definitely be interested to know I am wrong here.

See this :
https://twitter.com/Tojiro/status/1667028702734209025?t=1SnM...

EDIT:
Checked with our team and so VR mode gaze has event triggers on any Apple UI object without exposing the details so that works unless your UI is not easily portable. And that's the same across all MR and VR modes.
What? No one is being forced into gay marriage. And as long as they're consenting adults they can have whatever non traditional arrangements they want.

I'm having trouble understanding where this slippery slope is coming from. It's one thing if you were talking about assisted suicide, I can see the argument there, but eugenics is something that is forced upon the population. And no, having to watch two people of the same gender kiss on TV is not forced.
> You could test the relationship by looking at New Jersey and Connecticut: lots of people are relatively independent from cars for their commutes, but tend to have genuine houses (as opposed to their coworkers who live on the Lower East Side).

I'm guessing you mean the part of CT that's close to NYC. At least when I was growing up in the 70's / 80's, my part of CT had literally no public transportation, except for the occasional bus service for senior citizens.
MPT-30B: Raising the bar for open-source foundation models
What I'm talking about is the opposite, actually - users keep forcing it into places it doesn't really want to go, it's a chat client not a message board/wiki/etc. And while Discord has catered to it a little bit, it's not really been something they pushed hard yet (threads/etc are still there but very optional and very low adoption from users). I think unique usernames are potentially a sign of that changing, with more public (not just inside a private community) functionality being put forth in a real way.

Dependency managers like NPM don't differentiate between internal and external dependencies. I assumed that the Svelte devs were referring to this. Vue for example only has internal dependencies, but NPM shows them as any other: https://www.npmjs.com/package/vue?activeTab=dependencies

I would say there is a better way of doing this. In the forensic community it has been long known that audio can be timestamped and fingerprinted by the 50/60hz electrical hum in the background. In many countries this hum is recorded so it can be used later as evidence.

Unless counter-forensics are applied, AI audio is not going to have the right hum.

It’s not cryptographically secure, but it gives good assurance and doesn’t require tamper resistant hardware (which makes the cryptographic security dependent on how secure the resident keys are)

I don't think regulation is necessarily a bad thing, but I don't know that it makes sense to be this proactive.

I've worked in fintech and for every regulation that I asked about, there was some event in history someone could point to and say "this is what it's trying to stop".

Those regulations feel like the accumulation of a lot of painfully learned lessons over a long time. Some are more onerous than others, but they're all trying to prevent things that have happened.

AI regulation feels speculative at this point. We're trying to guess at what issues AI could cause, then guess at what a reasonable solution to our hypothetical is. I'd rather legislators were waiting to swiftly head off issues if/when they appear, though my inner cynic says that "Congress" and "swift" do not belong in the same sentence.
