There is a bar around the corner from Cheers that actually did feel like the neighborhood "living room" to me. When you see a bar where ages range from a few months to 80+ years, you're on the right track.
Looks like a plaid of Plaids
Ah yeah, agreed, a bare minimum "yeah ok you can code" is perfectly reasonable.
The pre-iOS 7 graphics have black text over a non-uniform background color as compared to white text over a uniform background color. This gives us ranges instead of a single value, but even in the worst case, black is a vastly more legible foreground color:

| iOS 5-6 | iOS 7+ |
---------+-------------+--------+
SMS | 11.3 - 13.4 | 2.2 |
iMessage | 11.8 - 14.1 | 3.8 |
I see a lot of ethical problems with this sort of thing

It's bad policy, but the motive might be fake. I have neither read the law nor I intend to read it, but I suspect that it's just literature. The real reason must be culture, mostly the language.

Most immigrants here are from Hispanic America. They already speak Spanish so it's easier for them to adapt, also there's a common history and blood, we're family.

Also lots of Romanians, they learn the language really fast.
What I'm trying to get to is if the guarantees include better control over the heap and paging. Everybody wants to tell me C++ likely has bugs which I understand, but it's not what I'm asking about.

Edit: I missed that the original person I responded to was talking about being paged when a problem arises and not about memory performance. I'm still curious though if Rust memory guarantees give the programmer better tools for dealing with memory paging.
The deep scattering layer which is made up of various organisms from planktonic to laternfish and larger squid undergoes a diel vertical migration from near the surface at night to well into the mesopelagic zone (200-1000m) during the day, and while the ultimate driver involves illuminance, the evolutionary pressures are complex and involve bottom up and top down forcing (e.g. following food or avoiding predators).

Higher trophic level predators have adapted to bounce dive or undergo their own DVM to match and have to deal with cold, low oxygen (although hypoxia can be ecologically limiting in some areas), but the pressure, which isn't that big of a deal especially if you have limited air spaces.

Once you can dive to 600-1000 m the pressure differential is not that much greater to go a bit deeper compared to at shallower depths (relative difference between 800-1600 m is the same as 0-10m).

There appear to be other functional behaviours besides foraging that push the physiological limits of these animals, for example the webpage has the typical daytime depths of swordfish of 550m which is accurate and they will stay there from dawn to dusk typically, but very rarely they will bounce dive 1000m - 1400m+. Possibly, although not confirmed, related to the need to calibrate navigational faculties.
Munich itself is weird case. There some smaller municipalities which have done better with Linux, lower-saxony and the police and the recent switch to Matrix of the Army.

Regarding Munich:
Three competing IT-Departments! Repeat, three. An own special distribution. They didn’t migrated all applications (either do it or not) and a lot of stuff was always done on Windows. Finally Microsoft moved a headquarter to Munich and solved it with “tax money”.

Rumors say that the reverse migration to Microsoft itself was also “bumpy”. Let me guess, three IT-Departments?

The former major of Munich also gave an interesting interview about the “experience”.
Inciting violence does make it partially the fault of those who post stuff. Moreover, they have no "right" to use a platform to spread incitement. Giving them use of a platform makes Facebook complicit.

Also, how do you not know the people who post stuff are the same people who kill people?
I'm not the author, but my guess would be that some of the suppoorted websites do not offer an RSS/atom feed to be leveraged by an RSS reader app. So, at a glance, it seems this app aggregates content for those sites/app which lack rss feeds...as well as includes sites which might already have rss feeds. At least, i think.

I don't believe I'm missing the point. You seem to be assuming that people are incapable of observing/verifying/creating their own facts. I don't see that being implied in this comment chain, and it's definitely not true.
removed for implementing in-app payments that bypass Apple’s revenue split: until/unless other social apps also get removed, you can safely ignore “decentralized social networking” in the title as irrelevant.

the payments here were done with Bitcoin’s Lightning Network. if there’s an angle here it’s more likely to be around that: have any other LN capable apps been removed?
>I'm almost 30 bud. High achiever, high earner.

Ok? I looked you up and you're overselling yourself. I'd suggest you just not next time.

>In fact I'd argue you're uncomfortable that people can use substances and be still be high achievers.

Not at all, if people want to get on speed every day and make millions of dollars, good for them.

>normal circumstances.

Lots of people 'normally' get high on meth, I'm not sure what your point is. That doesn't change the fact that those drugs are hedonistic at various doses. You seem to be confused about what a generalization is, and are taking issue with one being made. Just say that next time instead of trying to police the boundaries of the conversation like this.
Very cool! As a wasm fan, I'm excited to see this and really appreciate the detailed write-up. As a maintainer of Extism[0] (a wasm plugin system framework) I'm curious if our project came up in your research for this, and if so, what is missing or kept you from considering it as a solution?

How cool would it be if we could build stuff that directly builds the society we want? Call it utopia or whatever who cares.

But I wish there were other people in the game (none that I know personally at least, lots just act like accountants lol) who want to use their money to build and enable the kind of world at large, like we are playing a city builder irl. Making money is whatever but making a world is just _chefs kiss_.

To use the technology available today in ways that people don’t even have to think, but it leads to good outcomes.

AI seems to be one of those vectors and I hope it works out. I’m personally all in with even just LLM applications.
It's a bit arbitrary.

Enough people don't want tomato and so you get a "pizza bianca" without tomatoes. Enough people don't tolerate mozzarella so you've got "pizza rossa" without mozzarella.

I guess that a pizza without both mozzarella and without tomatoes may be considered by most to be just a focaccia but I'm pretty sure somebody will point out some place in Italy where that's how they make the "true pizza" anyway
I really miss Tutum :'(
My email is better when quotes are colored differently, when links are clickable and when tabular data is presented as such.

I define better in the Aristotelian sense - the emails job is to convey information into my brain and my argument is that properly formatted email is better than nonformatted email at this task.

Your email client may already do some, or all of this with plain text in which case it is essentially an (incomplete, partial, non-compatible) markdown render. But why not have a standard for how to render email that works with 99.9% of readers?

Well we do have that, and the standard is HTML. It's ugly if you look at it, but it works and that is better than being theoretical and clean, no? I mean I want to send LaTeX that adapt to the readers screen, or AsciiDoc, but that isn't going to happen.

While we could idealize about dispatching LaTeX content that can dynamically adapt to the recipient's screen size, or fantasize about the use of AsciiDoc, the reality is that such alternatives are not broadly supported and hence are currently unfeasible.

I do agree with you about blocking external images by default.
You spend a lot of time focusing on recipients of something here and whether or not they "deserve" it. And you're framing it as if there should be some universal principle that applies to every situation.

But what about the givers? Do you think there's universal ethical problems that apply to any particular group that chooses to give a benefit to others that were harmed in the past? Is there no possibility for legitimate benefit - even if only symbolic - to the givers?

If I knew my ancestors were active or complicit in a certain atrocity, do I need to worry about Genghis Khan in order to try to offset that?
Its a term for manufactured moral conformity.

Morality is good. Conformity is bad if it is in appearance. Manufactured moral conformity is problematic.

Yup, missed that, thanks. Has anyone scored GPT-4 on the APPs benchmark?

I believe that if you take GPT-4 multimodal integrated with Eleven Labs and Whisper then there is a shot at passing that extended Turing test, if designed fairly. The wording is still a bit ambiguous.

Also assembling that particular scale model is probably challenging but not really a general task and something that could be probably be achieved with simulated sensors and effectors given a 3-4 month engineering effort into utilizing advanced techniques (maybe training an existing multimodal LLM and integrating it with some kind of RL-based robot controller?) at interpreting and acting on those kinds of instructions. It would be possible to integrate it with the LLM such that it could report its projects and identify objects during assembly.

So my takeaway is that with some serious attempts and an honest assessment of this bar, an AI would be able to pass that this year or next. I mean I don't know how far GPT-4 is from the 75%/90% but I doubt it is that far and so expect if not GPT-4 then GPT-4.5 or 5 could pass given some engineering effort aimed at the test competencies.

If people really are thinking 2030 or 2040 when they read "AGI" and respond to that poll (I suspect some didn't read the definition) then that would indicate that people are just ignorant of the reality of how far along we are, or in denial. Or a little of both.
Being now run increasingly more and more by IBM mothership I guess systemd may become a very profitable cow to fatten for them.
No doubt, but the issue is that many just switch to other pointless thought patterns and look down on people with the "wrong" patterns.

A lot of people believe they found *the* objective truth while high, and because of that they turn arrogant afterward toward experiences/thoughts of others.

I've had friends who started acting like that, I once did myself, believing that they had found the one truth other people hadn't found, but since my friend group is generally honest and real with each other, we've helped them down from their arrogance.

However, I think it can be hard for people like CEOs, surrounded by sycophantic bootlickers, to realize that. They'll quickly be convinced by their own hubris.

To add come crucial context the article deceptively chose to omit: the Alhambra decree was passed in 1492, the same year that Spain was liberated from seven centuries of Moorish conquest and colonization [1], during which it had been used as a literal source of Christian slaves [2]. That partly motivated the decree, as "Both Muslim and Catholic sources tell that Jews provided valuable aid to the invaders" [3].

I was also surprised to see the article cite, as reason for opposing reparations for this decree, that it did not extend the same courtesy to the Moorish invaders - all without mentioning they were invaders, or that there had been any invasion or occupation. It even implores Spain to "reconcile with its past", when reconciliation with the past is what brought about the Alhambra decree in the first place.

Problems of C syntax:

- TLS in the syntax.

- Integer promotion.

- Implicit casts, missing explicit dynamic/static casts. Implicit casts for number literals though (like rust), and for void* pointers too, very probably.

- Missing explicit compile-time constants.

- Too many loop keywords, one loop{} is enough.

- Enumerations, switch, and stuff like _Generic/typeof, and more have to go.

- should have been only sized primitive types (u8/s8...u64/s64....f64, etc).

- and all the others I am forgetting right now.
rip Paul, but also I love this concept. I would love to see it expanded with more varied requirements!
Yes you'll find that any testable definition of AGI that has not been passed yet would be unpassable for a big chunk of the human population.

In other words, General, Artificial and Intelligent have been passed. That's why a few papers/researchers opt to call these models "General Artificial Intelligence" instead

hey, I'm the lead engineer on this project! I love that you did this :)

our experience thus far is that GPT4 definitely needs help when it comes to datasheet-like data. it's great at broad "functional" strokes, but details and particularly numerical details are not its forte.

we're working on it!
Why many ultra-processed foods are unhealthy
I'm not sure that the current locations that companies like BP and Shell have for gas stations would work for EV charging station.

According to what I've read most gas stations make very little profit if any on gas sales. It is the things they sell in the accompanying convenience store where they make their money.

An average ICE "charging" at a gas station adds mileage around 15x faster than the fastest charging EV at a Supercharger. If you convert an existing gas station location to an EV charging station that means that the number of cars you can handle per hour goes down by more than an order of magnitude, which means your convenience store sales will go down.

The convenience store sales probably won't go down by an order of magnitude because there are usually a significant number of people who come just for the convenience store and don't refuel their car. Still, I'd expect that at a lot of locations that drop of in convenience store visits from people who are there to refuel will be enough to make that location not profitable.
Fuck these BS click-bait titles that are really just designed to enrage.

The article explains it, that stadiums are prohibited from serving alcohol by French law, and an exemption isn't really possible in the Olympics case (because there are so many events) without a change in the law.

Drinking at catered events or indoors isn't covered by the stadium law, so drinking is allowed there.
Debatable - the concept of leap years was invented before 0 AD/CE but I'm not aware of any reason to believe that particular year (which certainly wasn't called 0 AD at the time, it was possibly the Roman year 753) was considered to be one.

What I miss from technology is the group of people I used to collaborate with during my university years. We used to work on one thing and one thing only (UNIX Philosophy anyone?) and there was no way we would not master our craft back then or the subject we were given to work on.

Nowadays everything feels like work on bleeding edge and don't care about the quality of code nor the security of your own libraries.

I feel so awful with myself for choosing such a wrong direction.
>Shallow people are shallow, and it’s hardly like Apple made them that way.

Oh yeah its not a Apple thing, its a human thing.

Apple takes advantage of that weakness in humans and reinforces it with their marketing. I personally don't have the ethics to take advantage of people who are class insecure, but Apple stepped up in the tech space.

Anyway, the original point was that Apple gives less freedom and its fine because they sell a social club, not necessarily the ability to compute. If they aren't selling a social club, they are doing a poor job at letting people compute.
> Do you really consider people learning Rust on the job to be "Rust adopters" who are partisan?

Not necessarily, but it seems not unlikely.

> Is anyone who ever uses Rust a "Rust adopter" who is unable to give an unbiased opinion?

It’s still a relatively new and niche language, so, yes.

> Who would be able to give that opinion, in your view?

Nobody, and maybe that’s my real point, which is why I’d like some metrics to supplement the anecdotes. This especially applies to Rust, but I think also applies to any language.

Note that I don’t mean to imply that there isn’t value in anecdotes. There is.
I used and still really adore tinc, it's been a joy to use.

I will say however that development appears to have fizzled out. I was really looking forward to some of the changes in 1.1, but it's been in pre-release for years now and doesn't seem like it's closer to being officially released.

I've largely replaced tinc with Nebula [0], but I still think fondly of it.

Please don't flag things you aren't interested in and please don't tell others to do it. Just leave it alone. It takes one of 30 slots on the front page and if it is upvoted again after less than a year, probably it is because there are a number of people like me that don't read HN every day (anymore) that missed it.

Flagging is for nasty stuff you don't want on the front page or things that for other reasons don't belong on HN.

They could build some better logic to determine how likely it is the phone is in a car at the moment and specifically for this kind of situation build longer baselines to determine if the user is likely to have heard the warning that the phone has determined it might have sensed a crash. The first option seems like it would solve a number of similar issues as well.

It's very different. With LFS you build your own distro. You bootstrap the filesystem, build your kernel and everything else from source, and there's no package manager. That means manually managing dependencies, which is a nightmare in and of itself, and something we take for granted with Linux distros.

The LFS book is quite thorough, so you technically only need to copy/paste commands, but you learn _a lot_ about Linux in the process. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in Linux. I did it once in college, and parts of BLFS IIRC, and it's one of the few memorable projects I got from my degree.

This is exactly how the browser behaves, and why Javascript needs to be entirely async on the main thread.

For your application it should be very easy to spin up a render thread (pinned to a single core or whatever priority mechanisms you want to use) that loops, and use message passing to get the results from Tokio based futures.
He was born in the German Empire, fought in both world wars, lived through Weimar, rise of the Soviet Union, rise of the Third Reich, saw his country split in two, saw the Berlin wall fall and the collapse of the USSR.

> I agree with the sentiment but it seems to me that if someone presents a new, compelling argument against a belief you hold then shouldn’t you change your mind immediately?

That's from the post you made. That's pretty general, not talking about just a "type of situation".

> I suppose you think there are no circumstances under which a person ought to change their mind “on the spot” so to speak.

I deny you the right to put words in my mouth. I did not say that, nor did I mean that.

Off topic: "I suppose you think" (and "Then you must think" and similar phrases) very often signal a distortion at best, and often a complete strawman. They have become red flags to me. Perhaps you did not mean it that way. But observing a fair number of HN comments, that's generally the way that phrase is used. To me, it has become a spectral signature of a certain kind of bad rebuttal.
