Latin looks back on two thousand years of history. You probably mean the middle ages/renaissance, when Latin was indeed used by travellers to get around. At least some of the local elites in the bigger villages spoke it.

But even during the classical period of the roman empire, Latin might not have actually been spoken by people on the streets of Rome. Instead, people theorize that a simpler version was spoken: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vulgar_Latin

well that's a turn of phrase I have yet to hear until this point.

Nice! Yeah Inform 6 is still solid. TADS 3 is more like it than 7.
Search is about finding existing results. The opposite of search is to start from first principles and work your way up until you have created the desired result yourself.

In the real world, search reduces information acquisition costs as you only have to spend time and resources on finding an existing result rather than recreating it.
It is pretty depressing this type of stuff exists. It started with the EU privacy, which basically means that if you can view this content, you are tracked as much as they can. I have a sandboxed browser on a vpn; I cannot stand geo locking for any reason. But I am in the EU and I like not to be tracked, so I use VMs with VPN networking.
It is their market but they don't have any significant participation in it, which is why regulation is easy. There isn't any significant downside to it for them.

I don't have beef with BMW, that was just an example. "Don't drive a BMW" is the equivalent of "Don't buy an iPhone" if you care about repairability. It shouldn't be like that.
My mother was a pioneer in the 1980s. She worked full time. In those days the government did fully subsidize day care for everyone.

But eventually as the economic goal of getting women into the workforce was reached they decided it was no longer necessary.
I'm surprised that with all the money that MSFT has that they can't just put 1 or 2 Bm into a few few AAA titles / or just create them to drive the experience.

On the hardware note, I would not discount the impact that covid chip shortage had on the ability for MSFT to pivot on this problem.

I have been a TA for first-year intro CS on multiple occasions. I have written the test suites that auto-grade student submissions.

The problem with first year CS students is that, unlike math, they’re allowed to have a huge range of possible prior experience in the subject. Some have zero programming experience whatsoever, while others started programming in diapers and competed in numerous programming contests (and even won) before enrolling.

Yes, we do offer an advanced version of the intro course that is far more challenging and would be appropriate for many of those advanced students. But the advanced course is optional so no student can be forced to take it. Many of the advanced students opt to take the standard intro course in the hope that it would boost their grades.

So the course is dealing with (essentially) a strongly bimodal distribution of student ability and the professors don’t want to give the advanced students a free ride. That means the course is actually somewhat challenging for all but the most elite programmers and therefore extremely challenging for total beginners.

What this meant was that Monday office hours (assignments were due Tuesday mornings) typically had several hundred students (out of a total of about 1800) scrambling for help from a dozen TAs. Of course, my school only has a tiny fraction of the funding of Harvard, but there you go.

I doubt that Harvard would want to spend proportionally more on TAs for their course (which would mean more TAs than students), so even though their course may be way more “well-funded” than ours, it’s not at all so relative to endowment.
The 'fuck you' pattern (2021)
No, not tired at all. I prefer remote work over in the office. Most of my colleagues as well.
I never knew this was so big of a thing. I remember hearing about it some time in the 90s and thinking it was probably bullshit - that there was no way the two works could synchronize well - but it still had some mystique. Don’t remember hearing about it again since but I’m not more than a very casual Pink Floyd fan. Enjoyed learning about the origins even if they aren’t fully known.
After a year of Tesla FSD beta I agree 100%. I used to think that adding more and more and more real world video events to the training pool was contributing at least a diminishing value to the model.

But the worst of all behaviors have not diminished and some have actually gotten worse. Most of the improvements now come through what feels like manual heuristics and tuning parameters rather than any actual improvement in intelligence.

I sincerely hope there is a path forward that involves meaningfully culling data which is producing bad behavior, stronger guardrails, and/or a new paradigm in how the model is built from the data entirely, as I don't see a path to level 3 by simply growing the existing model.
But our 6x ec2.small instances could serve the whole country buying public transport tickets every day. The k8s setup at a different place serve like 1/100th the amount of daily purchases, but have over 150 python pods to handle different stuff. Yeah, python is slow, but the complexity of the infrastructure is just insane. Yes, it's infinitely scalable, but we would never need that.
Ah! I should add a link to Neko!

Problem is, Germany is in a central location in Europe. Lots of east-west and north-south transit going through. That transit has to use the autobahn, for various reasons.

One is the EU: forcing them to use railway loading (such as in Switzerland) isn't possible due to the EU demanding free transit. Making transit on the autobahn prohibitively expensive by fees isn't possible, because the EU can and will veto higher fees or special transit fees. Changing status quo in the EU isn't possible, because all Germany's neighbours will veto.

Second is technical: Railways aren't standardized. Track width changes towards the east. Train station platforms and tunnels are different width and height per country, your load will bump into stuff unless you do lowest-common-size (which is smaller than a normal 20ft/40ft container crosssection, so non-viable). Signaling is different in each and every EU country. Rolling stock for goods transport is usually decades old and doesn't support any of the necessary modern safety standards like ECTS that are used on new tracks and cross-border. So you would have to have huge reloading terminals on each railway track and each border. Or you would have to modernize the railway system across Europe. Huge costs and lack of current demand create a chicken-egg-scenario here. Also, reloading creates delays, which the current just-in-time logistics are allergic to.

Third is domestic: There is also non-transit traffic, where origin or destination is somewhere in Germany. Those will still have to use roads, because the country doesn't have a dense-enough railway network. And building a sufficiently dense one would take forever, if at all possible. New construction is usually extremely expensive, delayed or stopped due to environmental/noise/landmark protection reasons (usually NIMBYs successfully abusing those regs). Only possibility is small extensions, such as "make this road/track/... a little wider", because it is already there which makes arguing against it on the aforementioned grounds harder.

So we maybe will debate if railways ever will take off and then just extend the autobahn. Because there is actually no other choice.
In very simple terms, you have an app installed on your phone (ntfy) that creates a websocket connection to your ntfy server and waits for notifications. The ntfy server receives these notifications from your Application Backend (via HTTP POST), which would normally send these to Firebase. Then your ntfy app receives the notification and can broadcast these to other apps, which could be your Application that earlier talked to some google services to receive notifications.

The whole point of unifiedpush is, that earlier when people did not want to use Google services in their application, they all needed to listen/poll on their own to some endpoint from the Application backend, which can be quite battery draining when you have multiple apps that do this. With ntfy you have only one app that listens/polls for these and can efficiently send them to the apps which want these notifications, exactly like Google Firebase notifications
I interpret it more literally, as “each time it is encountered in the course of execution”, “the statement” must “have only the specified percent chance of being executed”. The “each time” for me implies that you can’t just consider the global statistics over all execution, but instead the probability must hold for each single execution of the statement. If it is 100% predictable, that would mean that for any given single execution of the statement the probability would be either 0 or 100%, so in general not the specified probability.
Already using a Synolgy DSM server - and it's a great experience - but, most (the rest) of the world is running on Google services, this is the reality, so, when it comes to sharing and collaboration capabilities, you're kinda stuck on the outside. I don't really like spreading too thin by using a ton of (more or less overlapping) services instead of using just one (Drive).

You miss the possibility that when all the compatibility problems start to happen, a possible organic adoption (by other than hobbyists) would be hampered.

At the same time, hobbyists that could be joining the network because of their initial ethos, would also refrain from joining given the blur and dilution of its values.
It’s not personal, because basically everyone does it, but I love how people just say “inflation adjusted” as if we aren’t talking about fraud, they, plunder by a parasitic ruling class that used to live off the “inflation” delta between their assets and profits increasing, and the income of regular people increasing less. What’s gotten even worse now though is that they’ve gotten so greedy and there have been no consequences, that mere inflation is insufficient, they commit open theft and fraud through things like the COVID relief con job where $800 billion dollars go missing or are known to have been stolen.

Inflation is simply a manipulative way of covering up fraud, but those vomiting the fraud.

It's a shame because there very much are parts of the web that would benefit from proper multitouch support. But it's clear at some point that bespoke websites were abandoned (from a marketing and technical standpoint) by large companies in lieu of native mobile apps.

Tangent aside, HN is a site purely focused on text with no dynamic content. It really doesn't benefit from needing to zoom in and out on your phone. It's just unnecessary friction.
Google Drive doesn't directly support editing of text files either.
There are people who know them from reality, not from some book sponsored by the CIA.

Sad but true. You made a point here Buddy.
I used to believe that, but I'm no longer convinced. At least when you're trying to approximate the way humans think, and especially human language, there may not be a simpler way - our brains are themselves a product of randomness, and are unlikely to factor nicely into theoretically clean components. It might be computationally cheaper to repeat the process than trying to figure it out and encode in analytical form.
That's one of the nicest features of SourceHut, IMHO. There's a real person to talk with, and some hard principles behind the service. Don't on the same page? Nobody forces you to use it.

The related update, in short, tells this:,

You have a legit blockchain project, tell us, and we'll allow you. Crypto? We most probably don't allow it [0].

The wording is this (verbatim):

We will exercise discretion when applying this rule. If you believe that your use-case for cryptocurrency or blockchain is not plagued by these social problems, you may ask for permission to host it on SourceHut, or appeal its removal, by contacting support.

I'd rather have my project removed by a person who I can talk with, rather than a corporate chat bot pretending to be human, and my source code is not harvested without my consent for a service which is sold at me $10/mo.

That is true. There is no difference between fiction and nonfiction for the LLM.
According to physics, it must be stochastic. The only question is distribution, and whether we can ignore outlier cases.
Isn't the parent the "owner" even if they never use it and it's for the kid?
systemd has manual pages. I pointed out some missing configuration file locations back in 2016. They are still undocumented today.

Games and hardware have been developed to this point when it is impossible for an outsider to share the pie. Back in the day of 8/16/32-bit consoles we did have more choices. I still think handheld has the market for maybe a couple more hardware developers, but maybe it is just me fantasizing.
This intrinsically doesn't work because dependencies are globally namespaced. You can't have every version of a package installed simultaneously. In Debian, this is not remotely guaranteed. In Nix, it is.
Not true at all. There is a very much non-intuitive weighting system applied to CSS selectors which is what ultimately determines which gets applied: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Specificity
I work in the industry and mostly play on consoles (admittedly Sony’s) and even I’m not sure at first glance. I have to stop and think a bit every time.
> With time, collapsed ceilings have created holes called dolines, allowing lush foliage to grow and creating a remote and dangerously inaccessible jungle.

I would argue that holes from a collapsed ceiling of an underground cave makes it _dangerously accessible_ underground jungle.
I am curious which specific parts you disagree with? Seems to me the author was correct and Chat-GPT is a BS artist and continues to be.

Forest protection alone isn't enough. If you rely on forests, you'd actually have to grow them. Which would conflict with growing human population.
SourceHut planned to ban Go Module mirror due to bandwidth they consume, then they have talked with Russ Cox, and Go team agreed to implement caching into Go (-reuse flag, IOW) [0].

I think this is a major win, because assuming everyone have their unlimited 10gpbs symmetric dark fibers at their home, office, car and mobile phone is wrong on so many levels.

Whilst that is true, I feel that if that human is an educator employed by a reputable institution, answering questions in their field, the expectation of most is going to be that they provide accurate information. As this is an introductory class, any arguments that even experienced teachers can occasionally cling to incorrect or outdated information becomes moot in my opinion.

LLMs as of now simply appear not reliable enough for an institution like this one to attach their name (which brings credibility in the eyes of the public), especially as their comments on the need for users to be vigilant ("they should always think critically when taking in information as input") make it sound like they did not in fact find some new way of reliably grounding output in accurate information.

Mind you, this is coming from someone who has great hopes for the future of LLMs in education as they can more effectively deal with students on an individual level. I just feel that currently LLMs are still too error-prone for an institution such as Harvard to incorporate them into an introductory course to assist. Until these insitution stop putting the majority of responsibility on students finding erroneous output, I feel this is not ready for wider educational use.
A lot of people talk about the inefficiencies of government with lots of cushy career bureaucrats that are lazy. In truth, US government federal employees get substantially worse benefits and protections than private sector EU companies while much of the ire is directed at “lazy” public sector employees.

The kinds of experimentation and wild re-orgs constantly in private sector have substantial costs and so many of them are not so much product driven as they are investor fad driven it’s a ton of capital waste. Yet somehow market proponents see that as healthy and by design. Like uh, then by design public sector is supposed to be more stable and they have different kinds of capital inefficiencies systemically and we are spreading out risk as a society similar to a long term financial portfolio.
3930K came out over 10 years ago, my man.

5820K was almost 9 years ago.

8700K was almost 6 years ago now.

If $375 was too much for a hexacore that was your choice for many many years, for a long time now the market simply preferred the quad cores.
Why not both? I don't think HN uses its space on mobile that well to begin with. You can make small tweaks to improve readability while simultaneously leaving more space to add in properly sized actions on comments.
Yeah, agree with you.

It's also not exactly "QA" in this case, it's more close to just validating things every once in a while...

Especially if the specifications aren't clear and "atomic" enough, a lot of implementation mistakes will slip in.

If a product manager is the one creating those specifications, they're the main ones who should be going around the product verifying if they're correct or if they actually "work" in practice. Developers and QAs can do it too as part of their job, sure, but it won't be as effective unless specs are ultra-clear, which they often aren't.

The key word in my comment is "integrate", not simply producing data. We're using it for language data in my field, e.g. currently I'm integrating the Danish WordNet with the English one + various other datasets.

If you check out the common ontologies in use you will get an idea which areas are covered: https://lov.linkeddata.es/dataset/lov/
It shouldn't even be that difficult to build it. Modus ponens and good theorems are all you need.

Building the data set for that should be quite trivial.
How to be a PM that engineers dont hate:

Have a solid software development background. There is a tacit understanding that nobody absolutely needs a PM, which leads to a lack of respect for the position. The best way to even that out is to show you understand where developers come from, but if you do not have a software background, this is far harder to pull off in a credible fashion.
Getting moderated typically results in a post being made invisible to most site readers, which voids the effort put into writing it. Of course it imposes cost on the person being moderated, that's the purpose of moderation and bans in the first place.

Quite beyond the quiz instructions, the rest of the psychology on display in this thread is fascinating. Having clear rules makes things harder because other people will follow them. That sounds like the kind of outcome you fear only if you don't really want there to be rules, but only cultural homogeneity. Which is a stated anti-goal of the site.
It would for env vars as well, why not? Just trace program trying to reach out for some var X from env.
This is expected so don't feel too bad about it and move on to the next interview.

Recruiting is one of those things that is beyond broken and no one knows or cares how to fix.

I interviewed for all types of companies, big and small, from Google to Amazon to small startups and local university spin offs.

Overall the experience sucked, before, during and after the interviewing process.

I remember at Amazon, we (candidates) being welcomed by HR staff wearing shorts at a business center in Philadelphia.

Although this may not look like a big deal and in the spirit of a tech company, it really tells you about the judgment some of these people have and those who hire them.

If they don't care about throwing on some minimal business-casual clothes to meet up with grown-up professionals who took the time to flight from all over the country to be there, how will you expect they will give a damn about anything else during the process?

This is an extreme case for sure but I have noticed the same unprofessionalism at all levels, not only dressing codes, anything from being late for the interview, to last second changes poorly communicated to the candidates, interviewers looking at their phones or laptops while you are talking to them to even missing appointments altogether.

I did have some good experiences, one small startup out of MIT labs aced the process so well that I borrowed some of their methods for interviewing myself at my current company.

But in general, the recruiting/hiring process is unprofessional everywhere and I'm just glad I probably will never have to go through that manure again.
Apologies, I misread that section and thought the only difference between tables 1 and 2 was the array size! Thanks for correcting my impression here, that's good to know. And very sorry for the misrepresentation.

This is why changing zoning laws is so important. These buildings and their underlying values can be saved by 'going condo' or conversion to smaller unit spaces for the purpose of housing so many who are struggling with massive increases to rent. Most rent does not increase because of increased asset expenses, it increases because of increased owner expenses and that quickly becomes a slippery slope in the face of advancing inflation and housing prices.

Rent is becoming a social tool for class stratification and it began in classically liberal cities when they started asking for First+Last+1Mo Dep which often equaled $5k+ in one shot. That used to be a down payment for a house and it's absolutely ridiculous given the amount of money rental income sucks out of the economy that would otherwise be used for production and consumption.

In the United States, the government holds hundreds of millions of acres of land in trust and it needs to be relinquished in part to help grow the actual base of humanity they hold stewardship over, even if it means reducing investment values for the rich and powerful who have amassed so much through manufactured crises. Blackrock and other hedge funds should have never been given the power to buy homes the way they did by the Fed; it was just another shell game to hide their incredible myopia.

So much so, they are now backtracking on a labor advancement which is remote work in order to stabilize their personal portfolios in real estate. That's a conflict of interest that can be tantamount to investor fraud considering the Board is not acting in the best interest of the shareholders, but in the market for which they are beholden through consolidated power at hedge funds and banks.
Being sort of a PM (as a BA) back in the day for one year, I sincerely believe PM should come from engineering but with solid understanding of product too. The best way to hire a PM is to grow your own, by moving an engineer to the business side for one year (or 50-50 for one year) and then give him/her a bigger salary.
