"and this being russia...", is there a place where most people are not, for the most part, looking out for themselves? You seem to be implying that Russia is special in that regard.
I feel you should clarify that “TL/DR” means “too long, don’t read”, since what you’ve written is in no way a summary, but rather a statement of opinion in no way supported (and indeed assumed away) by the article.
I struggle with the same thing! I have a great core loop but can't make it not look terrible. :)
I'm sorry, is saying that Covid originated from China a conspiracy theory? Or do you maybe believe that this was caused by Trump calling it 'China flu' a few times? Now, that's a conspiracy theory.
Fdroid says that not all of the code is free... What are the closed portions, anyone knows?

Edit: this seems to be due to (removed for fdroid) google integration. Feels strange... Author removes a Google library for fdroid release but is still being punished be the antifeature.

Wagner keeps the media focus on Ukraine, but their real business is in Africa [1].

My cynical suspicion is that this whole affair was really about Prigozhin finding a way to keep the buckets of money that he has been making from smuggling African gold; by moving to Belarus he keeps the majority of the spoils, with Lukashenko probably taking a cut.

This project reminds me of this now-ancient blog post by @marcfawzi from the Evolving Trends blog (does not seem to be maintained):

https://evolvingtrends.wordpress.com/2006/06/26/wikipedia-30...

It took more decades and the arrival of Transformers and self-attention (see Attention is All You Need) for the "End of Google" (the search engine, not the company) to become a reality.

The industry has changed immensely. What used to be 5 year software engineering careers in one company has changed to 1.5-w years.

Some of it is because of employers undervaluing existing employees. Some of it is because technology is changing too fast, so compensation is higher elsewhere.

But mostly, it is because of layers and layers and layers of management that stunt engineers with BS OKRs and performance ratings.

Literally none of the tech management is driving new products, better services, better ideas and yet, they control employees. They steer entire teams into crises. Why would anyone have confidence in them?

In a battlefield, would soldiers have more confidence in commanders who understand the battlefield or would they have more confidence in "pseudo-leaders" who say BS and use performance ratings to fire people?
I understand that the business model is as you describe.

But it would be excellent if an older generation console could at least also run Debian or Pop!OS. As it is, the older consoles are just techno-waste.
Are you seriously trying to suggest that less experienced engineers are better than more experienced engineers?

Hubris like this will leave you joining the other ghosts floating around the wreck of the titanic shortly.
Ah, human rights and India. Okay, let's have a conversation about castes.

The caste system was hated and denigrated by the British Empire, for better or worse, so laws and decrees were passed to ensure the abolition of the caste system along with its attendant discrimination and exclusion. These laws had mixed success but I suppose they made some "progress" from the status quo ante.

However, the Empire was unsuccessful in eradicating all features of caste from Hindustani society and guess what? They began educating and exporting tech workers to the West, particularly these United States.

So the situation we have today is that Hindus, Indians, Bangladeshis, Sri Lankans, and Pakistanis are highly sought and hired to every level and role in the tech sector, and they're bringing their castes along with them. Fiefdoms and inner circles develop in the tech industry while lip service is given to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.

I think folks on the outside can't often comprehend the subtle, invisible distinctions among South Asian people, because it may not be a question of skin color, language spoken, or other outward features, but may manifest itself in terms of diet, or merely the company one keeps.
It might be.

They didn't say we'd all be dead in 5 years, just that we'd possibly pass a tipping point. I guess we'll find out.
Yeah if you don’t want someone to insult you don’t lead with one yourself dumbass.
Programming is improved by programming. Work on things increasingly out of your comfort zone and slowly grind your way up. Consume all programming related content you can that is written by experts. 5 years later you're much better. It's going to be a lot of mental blood and sweat though.
My concern is that the CPU usage is very high when you are not actively interacting with the site. So if you leave the tab open, then go do something else, you will be wasting a lot of CPU resources.

The only real way around that would be to put in a 5FPS cap after a minute of idle time (no mouse movements or scrolling), and additional culling for things that have scrolled out of view.
Hm, what is this "try" command if it's not the first step towards a proper undo? I've never seen a better increment towards that.
Oops, yeah, that was a calculator fail. It should have been about $6k/year, but I dropped a factor of 1k. Which is still not much, but a bit more sensible.
Indeed. Azure OpenAI service is how you get corporate-blessed ChatGPT that you can use with proprietary information, among other things. There's a huge demand for it.
Sir Humphrey Appleby, is that you?
Why, did people expect him to be an idiot or go Avengers style and fight himself, perhaps with bare hands? Of course he'll go somewhere safe and work from there. That's what leaders all over the world too in such crisis moments, if an attack is suspected.
they did bomb one of their own bridges (there is a video). and there were rumors that they plan to blow up few more
No, Kaczynski compiled his own writings. He also wrote a second book, Anti-Tech Revolution. In Kacynski's latest edition of Technological Slavery Skrbina's introduction doesn't even appear. It was a shitty introduction anyway.

A demonstration of strength by that oddball player who was never really respected by his peers because he didn't go to the right school but who somehow got along very well with the big boss.Except on those days they fall out. His co-underlings were envious of that, likely plotted a little, therefore the outsider had to posture to reassert his position. Posture he did, now the big boss says I forgive you if you come back at my side. To the "from the right school" underlings this is a clear message that they have to accept the outsider. Prigoshin won, not what he claimed to strive for (though he would have taken that in a pinch I guess) but what he actually wanted.

Good! I mean like, remember when signing up for a forum you had to agree or prove you were at least over 12 or 13? Why'd that stop?
https://github.com/massivemadness/Squircle-CE/issues/182

It contains a google library, but can't find what exact library they are referring to, as the link they've provided is dead.

EDIT: Found it in an old commit from around that time the comment was made https://github.com/massivemadness/Squircle-CE/blob/1818d3904...

A googleplay "appupdate" library, I don't have knowledge about App development, but I don't see how this library is needed in the fdroid version?
try is written in posix shell, it's cowboy too.
From what I've read, the L1/L2 cache per core is the same, and the L3 cache per chiplet is the same, but the cores per chiplet is doubled and the overall chiplet size is about the same (it's a little bigger, I think)

So, L3 cache didn't get smaller (in area or bytes), there's just less for each core. L1/L2 is relatively small, but they did use techniqued to make it smaller at the expense of performance.

I think the big difference really is the reductions in buffers, etc, needed to get a design that scales to the moon. This is likely a major factor for Apple's M series too. Apple computers are never getting the thermal design needed to clock to 5Ghz, so setting the design target much lower means a smaller core, better power efficiency, lower heat, etc. The same thing applies here: you're not running your dense servers at 5Ghz, there's just not enough capability to deliver power and remove heat; so a design with a more realistic target speed can be smaller and more efficient.
The GDPR is doing a good job at it, even across an ocean. Thank goodness for the EU.
This is actually the most likely. There were tides that could mean them losing money and so we get prosaic greed based infighting threat. The rocket strike got debunked as fake; the rest of his claims are phrased to look "just" for the public while being transparent to those who control the money flow. Remember he never said Putin has to go or similar but he called for people in charge of military budget to be replaced. (Ignore fake spam channels that pretend to be Prigozhin)

I have seen a similar analysis by Ukrainian intelligence and it seems what fits bizarre events well
ya thats what I have found from my research but since I am desperate idk.
Yes. A lot of commenters here seem to be unaware that the Wagner Group had become uncomfortably powerful for Putin even prior to the Ukraine conflict, and that the incorporation of Wagner soldiers into the Russian Army is a clear signal that the Wagner Group is now being unwound and Prigozhin’s days as the leader of a “second russian army” are over. I suspect that Prigozhin realized that he was being “retired” far too late, made a rash, desperate attempt to court popular support (he’s prone to rash decisions) but decided that he probably couldn’t pull it off.
> Earth is approaching a “point of no return,” with catastrophic outcomes such as widespread flooding, heatwaves, and famines looming.

Humans are approaching the point of no return. As George Carlin put it: “The planet isn’t going anywhere, we are. (…) The planet will shake us off like a bad case of fleas”.
That hasn’t worked since about three months after companies found out people do it. It’s all astroturfing now days anyway and if it applies to products (which it for sure does) you can be sure that government actors caught on as well.
> Only at a deep “we buy ugly houses” type of discount and only if the company allows it and if there is a market for it.

This is incorrect. There is often significant unmet demand for private successful companies. Employees can often sell at close to what investors end up paying for it.
Show HN: C# Library to cache and query the database
I've made a .Net library that handles caching/invalidation (using redis) and db querying for you via 'queries'. There is a catch though - you cannot join tables. You join via code server side instead of the db. In my opinion this makes code cleaner and more reusable as well as bringing load from the db to server side. Let me know what you think.
Linux/Gnome has "gio trash" as the trash command. It's available yet mostly unused I think.

Because (US) foreign correspondence is a hollow shell of itself.

Incompetence has to bridge the moat to matter. Private moats are not tiny and government moats are not infinite.
This sounds interesting, can you detail this data flow a bit more and maybe provide an example?
Sam Altman has been saying this for months. Nothing noteworthy here for someone following the industry closely.

A16z’s latest summary of the landscape was way more useful and relevant than this.
For a man with such bark as Putin, such a pardon (if true) is an enormous admission of weakness.
Prematurely published?
It did not. Learning git in-depth beats any amount of proof-solving skills you might have in traditional, day-to-day software engineering.
Doing proofs makes you a better thinker _in general_, but doing it in isolation (i.e without communication skills or team skills) can actually be detrimental.
That was then, over a decade ago. Doesn’t help anyone now so is kind of a non-sequitor

If I recall this right (it's been a long time, since), initially we marked the column where the carry went by a dot above the minuend. (I guess, it was the same with addition?)
>> basic recommendations can be pretty certain to have a pretty nice quality of life.

> This is both delusional and horrible in the sense of being victim blaming.

> when bad luck gets hold of you.

Bad luck can take you out when you're 5, as you mentioned, so I'm not sure what the point is in this conversation about statistically beneficial behavior.

Eating healthy, drinking in low amounts (including none) will put you in a bell curve of longevity leaning into the 70s and 80s, not give you a 100% certainty (this is the obvious interpretation of "pretty certain"). "bad luck", as you put it, takes you out of the normal distribution into a tail. What you mean by "delusional" or "victim blaming" isn't clear, as it does not apply, in context.
the world over? you mean the US and UK? organizations with negligible representation from people who belong to non-Anglo cultures?

the social credit myth has been busted plenty of times. it's a cursory search away.
Why unthinkable ??
Sometimes, this is all you need. I like it.
I think you don't realize that you are in fact treating us as kids or teenagers. Telling someone his, in good faith, comment, is below the guideline threshold is insulting. It's one of the polite, absolutely not vulgar, ways, to say someone's comment is idiotic without answering it. If you think someone hasn't provided enough evidence to back his claim, please ask him to do in a meaningful discussion. The kind of remarks where you just assume someone is just a weird internet troll, do not serve the discussion, nor the website users. Please understand that saying something politely, as in hiding behind the guidelines, doesn't make it acceptable if the message is insulting. We should thrive to build a community based on mutual respect.
That's wrong. The constitution says any natural born US citizen or any person who was a citizen at the time of ratification of the Constitution is eligible to be POTUS.
"The British Government" isn't some singular immortal person. I imagine the people in charge of naming this academic institute had nothing to do with his conviction or homosexuality laws in the 1950s, they most likely weren't even alive then.
They faced minimal resistance because those in power wanted to give them minimal resistance (not to stir up bad blood before the matter is resolved otherwise). If they were an actual emeny unit (not an ex-ally in negotiations, which was the case) they'd be obliterated by air and land in minutes.

And of course marching towards Moscow only staying hundrends of kilometers away from it (while being let to march), and "taking Moscow in a matter of hours" is a totally different thing.
I mean, all it takes to disprove you here is, what percentage did you get? What percent of people agreed it was that simple in the same way you did.

A low percent
And what about after we get AGI on a computer in a car? Is Nightrider's KITT not a vehicle?
Since pip v22.2, pip install --dry-run finally exists. It will still perform downloads but it will dry run the install part.
The level of exposure since chatGPT has/will result in a lot of money turning up, especially for applications of the existing technology (whether they succeed or fail). That stats on usage demonstrate that the thundering herd has noticed and that attention can be extremely valuable.

I think its quite likely that OpenAI will make that money back and more, as both the industry leader and with the power of their brand (chatGPT).
I'm purely curious at this point, I have nothing else to add here---what's your favorite example of the other failure, the type where all the researchers in the industry hype something and then 10 or 20 years later, you can look and say "well, that was a swing and a miss..." ?
Weird, I'd have guessed Fogo de Chão, though I did eat at an Outback there, too.

I just absolutely marvel at this attitude, like it is such a massive put-out to have any form of inconvenience by the entity paying you. The entitlement in this industry is going to bite a lot of people in the ass.

Ask HN: Have you switched from Postgres or relational data to MongoDB?
I am dealing with data which is stored as JSONB data type in postgres currently. This column needed to be used in the `where` as filter. For example, a json can contain title, body, url, some boolean values etc.

While Postgres does allow creating an index on this JSONB column, I am wondering if MongoDB would be better suited for this instead of Postgres?

Have you switched any project from postgres or relational data to mongoDB or similar nosql db?

When dealing with JSON data, is Postgres better or MongoDB?
> The reporting by traditional media had a lot of „not independently confirmed“ details. This was very strange, given that everything was happening in a densely populated area - Rostov, Voronezh, Lipetsk and Tula are big cities, M4 is an important highway with a lot of traffic. I would expect minute-by-minute coverage with a lot of pictures, maps, estimates of how much time they need to reach Moscow etc.

1. Russia does not have journalists.

2. When people see a military putsch, they don't normally stop to film it. They run for their lives instead.

> with few notable exceptions, we have not even seen faces of anyone from national security council. Some local actions of the governors, fortification of Moscow, pathetic speech of Putin in the morning and that’s it.

3. Everybody was waiting to see who will win, and join the winning side

> All despite that PMC Wagner is a criminal organization famous for extra-judicial executions, war crimes etc. An organization led by an open nazi (Utkin) and assembled from prisoners, many of which were convicted for violent crimes. It is crazy how people can even think of collaborating with them.

4. I'm surprised this coming as a surprise to anybody. They would've gotten the same treatment in much of the world.

> Russia still has nuclear weapons and it is big enough that even without using them by falling apart it can destabilize the entire world.

Russia will be 100 times less of a treat to the world, if it crashes, and breaks apart.
Exactly. This looks like classic extortion: if you don't pay me more, I will stop fighting, or do a 180.
No, not because of this. I’m not from the Default Country and work with Russian sources directly. It would not be unusual to see this in any Western media (e.g.German or British) reporting on a subject in a foreign country. It was unusual to see it in local news.
It's only Prigozhin going to Belaruse, not Wagner. He's effectively lost his army and is now in exile. Though I'm guessing he'd only agree to the deal if he was able to bring along an escort of some amount of Wagner troops loyal to him and/or some other reliable guarantee of his safety.
Indeed much more applicable then, I stand corrected

Given the context I assumed the regular unspecified internal type of JSON commonly used to back SPAs
It is. I think in most Western capitals most people in government are driven by ideology, patriotism, public service or simply professionalism and people are not in fear of their lives. I think in Putin's russia self-preservation/survival is top of mind. It's a brutal culture and it would only be more so at the highest levels. You only have to look to the high number of defenestrations of high level individuals that have happened in recent years.
>Is the goal AI, or a nice database front end, to reference facts?

The latter given the kind of products that are currently being built with it. You don't want your code completion or news aggregator to hallucinate for the same reason you don't want your wrench to hallucinate, it's a tool.

And as for hallucinations, that's a PR friendly misnomer for "it made **** up". Using the same phrase doesn't mean it has functionally anything to do with the cognitive processes involved in human thought. In the same way a 'artificial' neural net is really a metaphorical neural net, it has very few things in common with biological neurons.
I checked it out, didn't seem anything special.

Tried to climb the highest hexagonal level, but it seemed impossible. Raced across the second-highest but no mountains were reaching high enough.

Finally I let myself fall. Realized the underside of the hexagonal level was sticky and kept me flying attached to it for a while. With a little twist I could even lift myself up to the surface.

Found a high mountain, jumped to the underside of the highest hexagonal level, and voila. I was stuck and able to get to its surface.

Then I just glided at high speed on top of the world. Nice.
Another thing that bothers me is how people brush off improper belaying technique when the pro climbers do it. There are numerous videos of Adam Ondra, Dave Graham, etc just belaying with their hand off the brake strand, or their finger fully pushing on the cam of a GriGri while not paying out slack, and when people criticize them, other people just perform an appeal to authority and say "he climbs more than you, he knows what he's doing".
Why risk nuclear armageddon when you can conveniently switch sides at the slightest occasion. It's not like armies marching to shuffle a few chairs in big offices were a matter of deep ideological conflict or worse.
