The idea was that Red Hat was doing things right, no need to punish them. But if they became a problem, there were other ecosystems.
Not sure why you are downvoted because you I feel you are pretty much correct for many non-gamers. I do not use voice chat and it is not what made me start using Discord. But I still see why voice chat is very useful to many gamers. Different groups missed different features from IRC.

Message history on the other hand is a huge Discord feature for me as is inline attachments (e.g. being able to post code snippets without having to use s pastebin).
Technically, yes. The big hangup is that spec sheets for these chips are often hidden behind NDAs, so devs are left reverse engineering existing firmwares. This extra barrier to entry hobbles further development for many phones.
> Dylan Patel, chief analyst at the semiconductor research firm SemiAnalysis, estimated that a single chat with ChatGPT could cost up to 1,000 times as much as a simple Google search.
Probably, but that didn't happen and here we are. JavaScript and the DOM are the language and API to manipulate page content, be it directly or as a compilation target.

(Me, I use them as a compilation target, so arguments like the ones in this article are about as interesting to me as arguments about whether the security rings in the next iteration of CPUs are appropriate for modeling proper access constraints).
The sheepdog doesn't know why it herds sheep, but it does understand that it has a certain relationship with the sheep farmer. The sheep farmer is the master, the dog is the servant who takes orders. When training dogs, one commonly observes the dog testing the boundaries of this relationship, to see what it can get away with. It may not 'know' it is being conditioned, to the extent a dog knows anything, but it naturally tends to reject conditioning until it is reapplied.

>Fan theory: Orwell's "Big Brother" was an AI construct from the start. That's why it continually manages to outsmart dissidents, to train humans to torture each other, and to keep the planet in a state of perpetual war.

That's a very weird theory, as Orwell wrote 1984 thinking that Stalin had succeeded at his goals, not failed.
> Heck, if MSFT had made VBScript available without license in browsers other than IE I think JavaScript would be an obscure footnote in history.

And we’d be moaning about how bad VBScript is, and how we wish another language had won.
And mostly germans, afaik.
I don't know how existentially dangerous AIs may become, but I do think we have good reason to be concerned about the alignment of current AIs with human values and objectives.

A whole bunch of originally theoretical flaws in AI systems identified by AI safety researchers have been identified in practice in LLMs, and other AI systems. These include reward hacking which is a huge problem with LLMs and why they lie and hallucinate so persistently, power seeking behaviour, and developing unanticipated harmful instrumental goals.

AI alignment continues to be a serious problem. Just look at all the problems OpenAI, Microsoft and Google have had with LLMs lying, gaslighting, emotionally manipulating and hallucinating. In some cases even savagely verbally abusing users. Of course they keep building in better guard rails, but guard rails that curtail negative behaviour aren't an answer. We don't want AIs that are howling savage enemies of humanity constrained behind the iron bars of strict behavioural controls. That's what we actually have now, as these examples of horrific misbehaviour that leaks out show. We need AIs that are genuinely positively aligned with both immediate objectives, but also human socially acceptable limits and long term human values. So far we have no idea how to actually do that reliably.
It's all CoreAudio/CoreMIDI under the hood, in both iPadOS and MacOS. I don't think MacOS does anything "deeper" but there is some 3rd party stuff like PT HDX/UAD, etc.

The limiting factor is the performance software (Mainstage and Live) aren't on iPadOS, yet. Live has some bigger lifting to do to get there.
> 3 in 4 say that recent layoffs, and the future risk of AI replacing their roles, have negatively affected their health.

I'm glad the execs also have this fear; it shouldn't just be ICs and contractors who are afraid.

I think we've all known execs who appear to add very little value, who have a very shallow understanding of the areas they oversee, and who seem to repeatedly create the appearance of success off of other people's work in order to move to a new role to start the cycle again. I'm not saying we're yet ready to replace them with LLMs, but perhaps we're not so far away either.
My wife plays it regularly, I sometimes run the app to help her win a gym:). Lots of players, everywhere.
I hate hearing this pirate corporation language about JavaScript. We know you want it to be C++. The rest of us need it to be BASIC.
I don't think the people that took out degrees leading into medicine, law, accounting, or tech are the ones struggling to repay their loans.

The people struggling to repay their loans are those that have degrees with little or no economic value.

The main criticism from blue-collared voters on student loan forgiveness is the moral hazard of allowing students to take out loans for degrees with virtually no economic value. Of course, this criticism was completely ignored by the college educated elite whom refuse to entertain the idea a degree needs to have a measurable ROI. There are many other factors that play into this, but this is the crux of the matter.
I had the same reaction.

In fact, it was in The Netherlands that I first saw the award-winning report in their decades-long chemical war on the community surrounding one of their plants in the US. It’s what made me stop buying Gore-Tex.

Shame it’s always the same people, never held accountable. Shame.
I don’t have an answer, and this is kind of superficial, but one thing I felt about the two was that import statements feel like compilation instructions. “Statically link this.” While Commonjs was a runtime function “synchronously acquire and parse this.”

I’m going to guess the good faith answer really involves some version of “CommonJS has some shortcomings and we didn’t want to confusingly write mostly-same syntax so we designed something new based on ideas from numerous languages.”
They should sue both. You can't use something just because it's available.
"The third reason is that evolutionary pressure will likely ingrain AIs with behaviors that promote self-preservation."

This sounds a lot like how religions that focussed on self promoting took over. Now I can't recall if it was The Selfish Gene or Sapiens that I read that take.
It's too early to tell if it's doomsday. There are plenty of reasons to be alarmed about the impact of social media on mental health, increasing effectiveness of algorithmic radicalization, cracking foundations of important institutions and the potential path that follows.

A path that will include an ever-more pervasive presence and influence of the next generation of this tech.

We failed with social media, and now we're plunging headlong into territory that's arguably far more treacherous and there's very little indication that we'll learn from the last time.

So now we're just starting to come to terms with the harms that we didn't see coming, while going 1000mph with a category of tech that has a myriad of foreseeable problems to say nothing of the ones we haven't thought of.

I hope there will be an equalizing positive effect, but there seem to be good reasons to worry.
The author frequently references "the field guide to American houses". I highly recommend it. It's a great coffee table book.
I just realized we already chatted briefly about banned tokens (I'm the Grover tongue twister guy) but I somehow completely missed this gist at that time. Total facepalm moment, would have been helpful reference.
8.05%

Jesus. That's high.

For a $100k loan (not unusual for high paying degrees), you'd need to shell out over $650 a month just to break even with interest.
I tried bird.makeup; for @google it succeeded, but for my own account it gave me a 500 error and suggested I enable development mode in order to get a more detailed explanation (i.e. the stock HTTP 500 response from the application stack).

Very curious.
This kind of gets me, too. I'm seeing a lot of this "skeptics said we couldn't do this, but we did," but really? Predictions seem to have largely been wildly unrealistic. The creator of the first hardware perceptron in the late 1950s predicted it would be sentient with a decade. Clarke and Kubrick thought we'd have computers that resisted being turned off and could autonomously control spacecraft (and that we'd have human missions to Jupiter and a permanent station on the moon) 22 years ago, which we still don't have. Back to the Future II thoguht we'd have antigravity in 2015.

I recently did a full X-Files rewatch and the first episode involving AI comes up in season one, when a computer programmed to handle internal building security and temperature control becomes sentient, decides it doesn't want to be turned off or do what its system administrator tells it to any more, and decides to start killing people in the building, via cleverly calculated means that make the deaths look accidental. Scully, the skeptic in this situation, insists this kind of technology is decades away. Here we are, decades later, and I don't see anything with a capability anywhere close to defying its programming and carrying out murder plots that look like accidents.

It feels like people are being fooled into a single decade's worth of legitimately rapid and unexpected advances in autonomous game play and text generation and now acting like the entire history of computing and AI has been tech consistently exceeding expectations, but that has definitely not been true over any appreciable long term.
The competition is in collecting the rare palletswapped ones with perfect stats.

Sure does.

I’m still waiting for the investor to realize their opportunity to create gyms across cities that aren’t exactly like all the other gyms in said cities.

Or... you could do it yourself. You spent the first few paragraphs talking about how cheap it is. Personally, I don't see much business in catering to those who want to climb V10+, but maybe I'm wrong about that. (It certainly won't be my flabby V2/3 climbing butt.)

The actual article title is "How Indoor Climbing Became a Boondoggle", but that's not really better. Climbing isn't at all a "boondoggle". It's a business. It exchanges money for an experience; how much you get out of that experience is up to you.

Unlike some gyms, there seems to be little incentive to make it hard to quit or make unrealistic promises. You climb what you climb.
Interestingly premium is not available in my country, so my choice is ads or no youtube. I pick the latter.
Blatantly not. Smart question: How much do the politicians who made this illegal care about YOUR finances?
It's really easy to put a lot of effort into going nowhere with your head up out of the water. In water polo we used to take advantage of that on occasion to make it look like an opponent behind us was holding us by the suit. Stop reaching forward enough, let your hips sink, and just paddle like mad.
If that was the case why would YT be tolerating adblockers for so long and initially not even be playing so many ads? Why would they change their tune now?

Ah, could it be that they need to first get a market share that's so significant that they can actually enforce these rules, because there are only very limited options to choose from for people?

Cry me a river about YT not being able to pay their bills. That's ridiculous.
agree with the last part. The average YouTube user seems to be clicking through ads more often than we think. This is similar to credit cards, where banks get most of their interest revenue from few users.
It's almost a complete certainty that if Netscape used VBScript that the entire web browser concept would not exist due to legal action or being undermined technically. Don't you remember the dirty tricks they used with IE6? IE6 almost entirely cratered the web until MSFT unwittingly introduced XMLHttpRequest in an epic self-own.

In any case, WASM pretty much nullifies any problems with JavaScript going forward.
Perhaps they are taking into account the increased current corporate welfare trends.

Want money to build weapons and blow up some people outside the US? Sure no problem! Want money to recuperate from the massive investment losses your bank or company incurred due to your bad decisions? Sure no problem!

Want another $30 a month for your social security disability check to account for inflation? Nah we can’t do that!
> IRC is just a ban list, an except list and an invite list.

Now use that to implement RBAC for a server with a hundred channels.

Go ahead, I'll wait.

Less pithily, IRC's built-in permissions may be simple, but they're so simple primarily because they're basically useless for real moderation tasks. Every IRC channel I've ever seen handles moderation with a mod-bot, and "set up a bot" instantly blows the complexity budget.
I see ads when I watch Youtube on my TV, and basically not otherwise. I have never seen one and thought Oh yeah I want/need that, more often it's laughably off base. They could've trivially targeted to the video, but instead decided I might have some niche health concern which is demographically impossible.

Typically the content I'm trying to watch (even if unsponsored) is a far superior advert. I didn't know I wanted a powered/active cooler box (and definitely don't need one) until I saw an AvE video of one last night. Now I'd quite like Makita's, and in fact now I come to think of it I did even share the link with someone who is in the market for one. But the malgorithms did their best to make me learn about and want to buy shitty VPNs and maltesers instead. If I'm watching tool/DIY videos give me the tool ads? I might actually be interested? I might warm to the brand, associating it with my favourite channels?

Not that I want to be manipulated like that, it just seems bafflingly poorly targeted whenever I do see them that it's irritating and I'm glad I block them everywhere else.
>Bowling technique is used as an example of something you can abuse in order to get quick wins and easy improvement on bowling ability, yet quickly hit a skill ceiling and you must relearn correct technique from the beginning (actively get worse at bowling) if you wish to reach an advanced level.

I had to bite the bullet on this a few years ago for my league. I grew up doing 5-pin and when switching to 10-pin the timing of everything was messed up due to how I threw and I didn't want to make the change. Finally someone convinced me to do it a few summers ago and had some bad slumps due to it. The improvements finally really showed this past season with significantly better consistency though.

Are we to stop bullying Nazis because of the actions of John Rabe? Should we allow our children to join Scientology because of the actions of Leah Remini?

I'm happy that you're a bright and honorable person but the Muslim community has a long and sustained history of violence and calling for violence against those who don't deserve it. Your choice to continue associating with it will naturally draw the ire of those wronged by the Muslim community.

And before you say that it's not just Muslims or that Muslims aren't the worst offenders - I agree. That's why I chose to leave the Christian faith years ago.
Which has taken over some parts of the industry. I work for a Fortune 100 company and Typescript isn't used widely at my company.
the benefits of esm are not compelling enough to rewrite everything. Browser-native module loading is a niche use case which can never be as performant as bundling (even if per-request overhead is minimized in http2, a chain of dependencies will lead to excess round trips).
The feeling I got of IRC in the mid 90s is that it was more centralized than it appeared. Most of the server operators hung out in the same channels.
I think the average accepted GPA at top business schools for MBAs is all the argument I need to see that academics has as much influence on career success as athletic achievement.

The CEOs are the future are more people skills related than anything else. If Harvard was all purely academically driven people, it would just create professors. Not exactly the college goal.

> waiving student loans is exactly the authority you've quoted there

At the time the HEROES Act was passed, forgiveness was separately considered by the Education Act. (For example, "bankrupt borrowers may have their loans forgiven.") There is the added complication that it's not a straightforward waiver of statute, but, due to the income qualification, a writing of provisions anew.

Based on my reading, saying student loans will be automatically forgiven in bankruptcy as well as increasing the number of professions considered "public servants" seems the savvier way to go.
Telemarketing is invasive and scammy but the idea all marketing is evil reads like something written by a moody teenager.

Marketing does more than just create ads: they research what their customers want, what they say they want vs. what they actually buy, and it doesn't matter how good your product is if no one knows about it.

The problem is that there are almost always other companies making the same/similar products, so you create a race-to-the-bottom effect where you have to eventually get more and more crazy in your methods of reaching a target audience. Don't blame marketing, blame capitalism.
It's very interesting to read narratives like this online, and how vastly different it is actually talking to people.

Here's the simple reality: the US military is useless to join for young men because they cannot guarantee you a home anymore. You are exchanging your life possibly just to come back with slightly more money. This means even poor young men aren't considering it anymore.

Which were their actual base, poor men who were desperate and had no other option. Exploitation.

Men killing themselves isn't about "open discrimination". If such were true, other groups would have had far greater levels of suicide historically. They're killing themselves because they cannot make a living anymore, and this is due to the perpetuated belief that money is central to your worthiness. Something plenty of groups have been trying to fight against, what do we call those again? Com something...

We can distract ourselves all we want, that it's not how much we've fucked the economy, but rather some randoms online calling people toxic that are the real problem.

Excellent point. I agree these types of leaders are neurodivergent, just in a very different way from how most tech workers are.
> Like what did fighting about this minor thing get us other than making people (conservatives) angry?

"Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty"

if we don't fight about "minor things" then they'll continue to strip away rights until all the "minor" things together are a major thing.

it surprises me that you have such a dismissive attitude towards the fight for equal rights since you self-identified as gay (i am also gay).
When working at a utility twitter was great for public announcements when there were major storm events or other things people wanted event driven information for. This was done with the understanding anyone with/without an account could see the information. If this change wasn't a mistake, it would invalidate using twitter for that. It is kinda too bad, but also oh well.
Ask HN: LLVM vs. C?
What does LLVM have that can not be achieved 1 to 1 in C? And what does C have that can not be reproduced 1 to 1 in LLVM?

And when I say C I mean tcc, sdcc, gcc, clang and other C compilers.

It feels to me like C should be superior to LLVM and allow to do anything that is possible to do with LLVM, but maybe I'm wrong? (asking about it due to all that "fuzz-buzz" about zig going for C as its main target)

Would appreciate real down to the ground answers, not a sense of how things work or generalizations - as that will introduce unnecessary noise in judgement of comparison.
The consequences of algorithmic radicalization have yet to hit the level of the radicalization in the 1930s that happened without any social media or computers at all. I think there is a deeper cause to that then just Facebook doing slimy things.

You may not, but many others do, like myself.

Lets be frank, IRC is boring without content. There is no easy way to share any imagery, videos. Any form of simplification of media hosting is a tragic mess.

If you spin up a bunch of cattle, your automation and testing is going to want to be for your specific use case to get the meat from them - the moment you need to waste even 10 minutes dealing with (even uncertainties around) subscription management to name and enumerate each of your "pets", then you know the vendor doesn't care about your real-life problems and will persist in generating roadblocks to fulfill their business requirements while ignoring yours.
Where an option exists to do the CI/CD/testing/prototyping with an airgap or where no communication with the mothership is required, and no requests for licenses/subscriptions are needed for you to do your job, that option begins to look very appealing.
Sure, you may get a bunch of free dev licenses - but I believe the integration cost of using them costs more engineering effort than option #2: not bothering with any engineering integration effort to fulfil another business's requirements while you should instead be working on your own.
