uhhh. that's normal. working on cars with friends is one of the best things ever.

guys bond over tasks, machines,
sports, ect. you can talk about whatever you want with mates, along the 'plotline' of fixing a car.

prioritizing 'work families' at work sends the wrong signals. start a union if you want to intertwine your lives to the quality of a 'work family'.
> To me this seems like the same argument you're making - belief that a trend will continue until proven otherwise - but I don't find either of them very convincing.

Barring a reasonable, coherent, and factually-supported explanation for why an existing trend might not continue, the existing trend continuing tends to be a reasonable default prediction.
I work for a Fortune 100 company. When we were deciding which cloud platform to settle on years ago, Google Cloud Platform was thrown out first because of this very concern. I would not be shocked to hear tomorrow that they are shutting it down. This is Google. I wouldn't even be surprised that Google Maps of Google Docs are being shut down. Search is the only one that would surprise me.
The alert isn't raised by traditional SMART, it's done by WDDA [1] and my understanding is that it's not controlled by Synology.

You could still blame Synology for supporting WDDA, if you really wanted to shift blame I guess.

I mean, Android is mostly Linux. I don't think the kernel is the issue. The issue with librem is that they put very little effort into the basic user experience of the software.
Agree to a debate when they have disproved the experiment and provided reproducible proof. Better yet if they can get it peer reviewed (though that can be hard when you’re challenging “the system”).

I have a very opinionated opposing view of this research. A lot of research in this direction is working on raising the floor. Basically they just want the robot to handle a large variety of simple tasks and environments. Fair enough most industrial robots can't handle the smallest changes. But many times they implicitly make the assumption that raising the floor will also raise the ceiling. They assume, if it can generalize at 90%, it might also be able to do far more dextrous tasks that humans can. I think this is completely false, at best if we could do dextrous tasks in 1 environment this can transfer them to other environments with a presumably lower efficiency.

On the other hand, I think a more promising direction is to raise the ceiling of robot arm manipulation sky high. OpenAI kind of did this with Dactyl but I would like to see more of it. Can we get robotic arms to tie a shoelace, knit, perform pottery etc (with an arm like morphology, no special mechanisms). I think this can actually then lead to large scale generalization, kind of what we are seeing happening with NERF's now. I would like a robot arm NERF, overfit to one hard task but reproduces it with human like precision and dexterity. Deepminds approach to me (with GATO, robocat) seems like a red herring, they will never reach the kind of results we want from our arms.

Can you? I've read a few articles from journalists who went there only to find that vendors refused their payments, or asked for Visa instead.

The one from Bloomberg comes to mind: "He tells me surfers sometimes ask if he’ll take Bitcoin. He’s taken it on a few occasions, but the dips in price burned him. “Now I tell them it’s $25 if they want to pay in Bitcoin,” he tells me. “You don’t know when it’s going to go down.” " [1].

That's also to say nothing of the leader of the nation potentially losing millions of public funds day-trading crypto on his phone, the Bitcoin Bonds that no one bought, or the IMF refusing to offer funding to the impoverished nation as a result of this callous fiscal policy.

I'm a Workspace customer, hosting my family's domain for mail. Some of us use sheets or docs or drive.

Where do I flee to from here? Protonmail? Office365?

I'm willing to spend $5-$10/mo per user. Apps would be nice but mail is critical. I'll miss Google's spam filtering but so be it.

I know Workspace isn't dead yet but I'm not going to wait until it is. I'm done. My DNS has always been somewhere else which will make this a lot easier.
I love Elixir and Phoenix/LiveView, but I have the same problem. I think it will need to gain the proverbial 10x improvement over React and JS frameworks in general before people consider it.

And who is going to pay for it? Pharma’s going to fund pro-pharma research. Where is the money opposed to pharma at scale?

I’m probably past the point of jaded, but if there isn’t money behind it (and even more to be made), even if the results are valid, it will just be crushed by those with incentives to bury it (until, like tobacco for example, it can’t be ignored anymore).
Actually the wireless controller points to a bigger problem like, I think the underlying reason for using a wireless controller may have been because the computers were inaccessible when the craft was under way. It's not so much the device itself, but if there was a need to use a wireless device that would point to a design flaw.
The founder is likely dead and paid the ultimate price for his negligence. There’s simply not much you can do about people who are willing to die and take other people with them, whether intentionally or negligently. You can’t put a dead person on trial.

I believe that the GP’s point is that there’s no omniscient agency that can preemptively stop people from doing stupid things. There’s not enough resources to watch everything that everybody is doing all the time.
I find these types of comments interesting, have you moderated a subreddit yourself?

The majority of subreddits on Reddit are moderated by moderators who only mod one or maybe a related subreddit. Quite a bit of work goes into it, especially on the more active ones.

Is there anything specifically you don’t like about reddits current moderator system?
> To get it you'd need a nanny state that snoops on everyone and steps in to stop you "for your own safety"

This is exactly why we need less government and be slower to call for laws. Human nature cannot be changed despite our belief that it can be.

The same lazy decisions that led to this potential event can also be used to destroy lives.

At the end of the day we are all accountable for our selves.
Ah, I didn’t see that they had emergency resurfacing methods. I don’t have much hope for these guys.
Do you think that articles, television shows, print columns, etc that treat things like the moon landing or the holocaust as items up for debate, and which give equal merit & time to the "two sides" of that debate, are somehow valid? Your ability to find real evidence is going to be DDOS'd by their ability to absolutely make shit up. And you're going to enable a lot of chemtrail bullshit, but also a lot of really virulent nasty racism.

Giving these very stupid views access to the same platform as any rational actor, placing them in the same context as - or even right next to - real actual science or history, is such a poor choice.

I think the HN title is incorrect, the title in the linked post just says C++17, not C17. Likewise, the JEP doesn't really mention C other than in passing, and the OpenJDK code I've looked at myself is all written in C++, so AFAIK this is really just a change from C++14 to C++17.

As for the differences between C++14 and C++17, the things I use most often are consexpr if, variable declaration in if statements, std library features like std::optional and std::string_view, lambdas got more powerful, and probably a bunch of other things I'm forgetting. There are a ton of "What's new in C++17" articles you can find online if you want more information.

> Why does the FSF spend so much time browbeating people for saying "Linux" instead of "GNU/Linux"?

It's even worse than that, because Stallman thinks it's fine to refer to it as just "GNU":

The main error is that Linux is not strictly speaking part of the GNU system—whose kernel is GNU Hurd. The version with Linux, we call “GNU/Linux.” It is OK to call it “GNU” when you want to be really short, but it is better to call it “GNU/Linux” so as to give Torvalds some credit.

What a generous person he is, wanting to give "some credit" for the small contributions this little upstart student from Finland did.

I agree that sort of flourish is a lot of fun, if it's not in a song trying to teach you something so fundamental.
I have yet to visit any house that couldn't have another couple of hundred books squirreled away inside of it with careful planning. I have visited a few friends who created built in book alcoves between the timbers of the house, cutting out a section of dry wall, adding shelves, and framing in the alcove.

When I moved from our 4,000 sqft house to a 2,000 sqft condo we divested ourselves of the 800 linear feet of custom built book shelves. Not a huge amount, by some measurements, but is still "quite a lot of books." Not quite enough to warp L-space, but enough that I swear I could hear the occasional Ook! from what we euphemistically called The Library. We pared down to a much more reasonable 200 linear feet.

I will say that going through those books was an emotional toil for both my wife and I. But after moving six or so times in 20 years for work, it was time.
Kids are really dumb and really smart at the same time.

And they know when you’re lying, eventually. Especially when you tell them something that isn’t something you believe.

But you often don’t have to lie to explain something that’s too complicated or not necessary for them to know, as a simple explanation is not a lie, even if it’s not completely true.
Cloud IoT comes to mind, and the linked thread claims cloud domains is on the chopping block. However, most Google cloud services have a Ship of Theseus thing going on, where they'll deprecate most features of a particular service without deprecating the service name as a whole. Nothing that was written stayed working without constant maintenance, no matter how trivial or important the features (e.g. spending limits in AppEngine).
This sounds exactly like what I should do, the thing is I'm already working fulltime and just have time/energy to maintain those projects, maybe move one over from Heroku to Render (low-friction) over some weekend.

To do a bigger migration such as that I'd need a few days of solid personal work to learn how to do everything, I'll try to do it over the summer holidays, thanks!
> Similar things were seen when companies all announced blockchain strategies so they could report to the board that they’re on top of it.

It's not just board pressure that led people go for Blockchain crap - it was the craze to find the next Bitcoin-style unicorn. Blockchain everything and hope it's your tokens which explode 10.000x in value.

I had an old guy tell me about why he was claustrophobic once. Closed doors and the dark were a challenge.

He got depth charged in a submarine during WWII. The lights got blown out, water was coming in etc.

The guy who killed himself trying to build a homemade rocket to see the curvature of the earth for himself is a scientific hero, in a way.
Yes. When I build something, I envisage what the end product is. That is my personal goal. It doesn't influence my programming.

LLM's make me question if the goal I am moving 'to' will even be mine by the time I get there.

Nobody likes working on a sandcastle and discovering Steve next door built the exact same sandcastle as you, halfway through your build.

It has nothing to do with money or praise. It remains to be seen if LLM's can build ALL sandcastles before I even finish my one... that is the anxiety.

The upside of LLM's is that they should make software blackboxes much easier to make.
Are the models specifically trained to be experts in certain domains?

Or the models are all trained on the same corpus, but just queried with different parameters?

Is this functionally the same as beam search?

Do they select the best output on a token-by-token basis, or do they let each model stream to completion and then pick the best final output?
Just as an alternative suggestion, consider using a "down file" instead if you can and letting the code gracefully end. Plus you get to write "touch down" and do an end zone dance.
Really nice idea, doesn't seem to work with Colima / Podman so logged a bug for that but otherwise looks great. I love that it's a native app and not Electron - it's so light and fast!
This reminds me of a passage in Plato's Theaetetus (143e-144b):

Socrates:... So if you have come across anyone worth mentioning, I should be glad to hear.

Theodorus: Well Socrates, I think you ought to be told... about a remarkable boy I have met here... Along with a quickness beyond the capacity of most people, he has an unusually gentle temper...I never thought a combination could exist; I don't see it arising elsewhere. People as acute and keen and retentive as he is are apt to be very unbalanced. They get swept up in a rush, like ships without ballast; what stands for courage in their makeup is a kind of mad excitement; while, on the other hand, the steadier sort of people are apt to come to their studies with minds that are sluggish, somehow - freighted with a bad memory. But this boy approaches his studies in a smooth, sure, effective way, and with great good temper; it reminds one of the quiet flow of a stream of oil.(...)
Might be useful to remove the name of the person since I don't think many people know who this is.
Monorepos are garbage and Amazon outcompetes Google by not having one.

Everyone in the Valley thinks they are awesome because Google does it and a Stanford grad is obsessed with cross project atomic commits.

If using the term "consumers" broadly speaking, then I would agree that they assume trustworthiness of the vessel. When I drive my car onto one of the Seattle ferries, I pay my ticket and as a consumer I have total trust in the safety of the vessel, that they are following all safety protocols and that it is inheritely safe. I don't know how this thing carries hundreds of passengers and 80 heavy cars across the waters, but I trust that the company I bought the tickets from knows and has taken proper precautions to get me safely to the other side reliably.

But this trip to see the Titanic is completely different. This was an experimental trip on an experimental vessel (they signed specifically to that affect). Anyone who thinks that journeying down to 13,000 feet to see the titanic was going to be as risk free as crossing the Puget sound or going to disney world is crazy. The sheer reason they are paying for this trip is because it has been relatively impossible up to this point. They are breaking new frontiers by doing so which is by its nature inherently risky. There has to be known risk involved here. It isn't a ride at disneyland. This was serious. I am sure they didn't actually expect to die, but they had to know that there was a realistic possibility of that outcome.
> To get it you'd need a nanny state that snoops on everyone and steps in to stop you "for your own safety". It's easy to imagine scenarios where this gets out of hand.

A nanny state is telling you how to live your life. An example is when NYC banned large soft drinks or when we listed marijuana as a schedule 1 drug. Registration of a mode of transportation is hardly a nanny state activity because vehicles inherently pose a risk to others whether as a passenger or someone sharing proximity with you.

You can certainly build your own car and register it. They're often called salvage titles; this is true for airplane kits too, but you also have to be able to prove the worthiness of the machine. We have lots of process and administration to take care of this, but for whatever reason it didn't work here.
>So you're saying not just "do experiments on crazy theories" but do them forever in perpetuity?

Yes? When I did science at school we repeated various experiments to prove various Newtonian principles. I'm pretty sure those are settled matters but still useful to demonstrate for educational purposes.
I wouldn't call it "passé" as such, I think it's just very difficult because everyone is basically going in wildly different directions and there's no unity or commonality. Why spend a lot of time and effort being friends with people that you have absolutely nothing in common with, and frequently find to have repulsive opinions?
Musk announces ban on the 'slurs' cis and cisgender

The idea is that not all code in your code will be typed. So while at the typed callee everything is all hunky-dory, any random subclass might not be typed. The subclass could even be a C extension.

EDIT: Also, the point is that even if it's well-typed, it can still go and execute arbitrary code. So you can't just specialize the callee.

EDIT: Pushed and thanked you in the commit.
I think deciding to get away from the Musk/Twitter debacle as soon as you realize how bad it is isn't necessarily a bad thing..
He's pointing out lack of regulation. That typically means more regulation is needed, and is likely on the way. Not that crypto platforms will be banned and die.
