I didn't try this, and I suppose that some low level pointer rewriting would be necessary to do this.
I'm not sure if it's expensive though, maybe you can replace the pointers without resolving the stacktrace.

The real reason is the government doesn't want western garbage movies influencing it's citizens. They censor a lot of the internet and block all tabloid news sites as well as a lot of..let's say polarized news sites.

Also everyone in Vietnam hates the Chinese as the Viet govt keeps giving them special administrative regions for business
> How do you switch apps in full screen mode, you need to know trackpad gestures or keyboard shortcuts.

The Dock also works, although you have to move the pointer downwars to show it. In a lot of ways Clicking on Icons is MacOS foundation mode and everything else is superfluous. I, as a Poweruser, forget that sometimes.

> IIRC or at least last time I used it the screenshot tool had no menus and was extremely unclear as to how to save a screenshot as a file in the location you actually want.

The Screenshot tool btw. is also an App under Applications → Utilities. If you use that, you’ll get a floating palette with different options including for different locations. Those options then get also used by the Poweruser ⇧⌘n shortcuts.

(I don’t necessary disagree with you, there is too much invisible navigation.)

So ... it transform air movement into electricity? Like a wind turbine? Does it absorb the humidity?

Can it be used in a closed circle recirculating the air with a fan? (obviously this will produce less electricity than the used to move the fan.)
>My opinion is western society has the most productive economic apparatus in History

Yes, in <pedantic>known history</pedantic>.

And yes, if you ignore the negative externalities such as destruction of the environment, high obesity and other first-world killer diseases like heart attack, stroke, etc.

Of course, other / developing countries are greedy and eager to emulate all that unsustainable shit, and are coming up fast on the radar screen often ignoring the remedial measures (for what they are worth) that the former countries are applying.
This is a case of trying to obsessively rationalize the irrational.

Nobody gives a shit about society's "productivity" when they consume alcohol. Alcohol tends to be used to relax or to numb pain. It's not exactly the context where you're pondering about the GPD.

And surely everybody knows it's bad for your health, as are many things that people continue to do regardless.
I thought the article was reasonably upfront about the limitations of the use of total biomass as a measure of ecological value. But the subtitle, unfortunately, omits those details.

There is a bit of "until next time" in all of this: nickel only covers a small part of the ocean floor, and humanity is not normally interested in exploitation down there, meaning that the vast majority of the seabed will remain intact. But we have to be aware as a society that the first time we extract a resource somewhere is almost never the last.
SEEKING WORK | USA | REMOTE

I am a 20+ year experienced developer.

Most of my work has involved embedded development (Linux, RTOS, baremetal, C/C++/uPython), including various forms of networking and distributed systems, audio/video, as well as backend services (usually using Python, Django, and Go), deployments (AWS, DO, Ansible, Docker, etc). I also do iOS and Android development. I do some frontend work, but that isn't my specialty.

I love helping people develop new products to meet their goals and needs, especially with a focus for getting it in use and making money as soon as possible to demonstrate utility and make money. I also have extensive experience taking over existing legacy code bases.

I am available for part-time or full-time contract work, long-term or short-term. I would love for every project to turn into a lasting business relationship.

Who uses bun in production?

Seems totally insane to me to use a pre-1.0 application written in a pre-1.0 language in production considering Node and Deno basically do the same thing.
But then how does that jive with skin in the game?
In his Nassim's teaching he brings up the example of the idea that the Roman engineers that built/designed the bridges were forced to have their families live under the bridges. It sounds like those engineers directly involved in the practice do understand the risk of their domains it is merely their incentives that need to be aligned.
Good point. I often play train worlds and the normal settings there is to not have biters expand at all. I often change that to having them expand slowly, but much more slowly than they normally do. Having new biter camps pop up in your cloud will require some defense of course.
I used to think this way. I guess it is possible, in the long-term, that we might see some kind of social collapse due to a tragedy-of-the-commons driven depletion of some critical resource.

But I see no evidence this is close. Humans are flourishing more than ever before. And in the places that humans aren't flourishing, this is more due to social issues (inequality, deaths of despair) than to resource depletion. Moreover, stalling birthrates obviate any kind of Malthusian concerns for at least a generation or so.

People have been predicting resource-driven collapses for a long time now, since the Club of Rome and Donella Meadow’s Limits to Growth in the 70s. I haven't read Geoffrey West but it looks like he is in the same camp. A lot of very smart modelers and game theoreticians have come up with models predicting collapse. But they've been wrong so far when pressed to make falsifiable predictions (see the Simon-Erlich wager). And beyond falsifiable predictions, more empirical and less theoretical work also seems to show that models of resource-depletion and collapse are too simple to map on to what actually happens. See for example, Elinor Ostrom’s Governing the Commons, about how societies around the world and through history have successfully managed common-pool resources.

So Im not worried about resource-depletion-driven collapse.
Sound effect libraries have long included the sounds of wood breaking/cracking, generally recorded (rather than simulated). A couple of jobs ago, we sold sound effect libraries that cost 2-5x the cost of the software applications that they were used with (hundreds to thousands of dollars).

I think you’d be hard pressed to find economists (beyond freshman college students who recently discovered Nietzsche second hand at a party) arguing for a purely direct monetary expression of value, but even they would have to admit that recordings of broken sticks in snow covered forests have non-zero value.
That, and the idea that ordinary individuals have much closer reach to a corporate marketing department than before. It all seems sort of boring and obvious now but remember in the 90s online shopping was mostly the digital equivalent to mail-order catalogs, marketing was very one-way through major media channels, etc, and stuff like the ideas in Cluetrain were very far from mainstream at the time.

How connected to the IoT are you willing to go to access that functionality though - now your drier requires wifi access, and cynically, you know it’s not going to just use that to access local peak load times.
To be fair, Star development started as about as soon as this had become a viable project. Compare the availability of D-processors, and things like Smalltalk76, the Gipsy editor, Mesa as the base operating system being less than a year old, then.

I think, the narrative of Xerox just not knowing what they had doesn't add up with the timeline.
Wordle is similar though and doesn't seem to suffer from this ambiguity. Is it because the ui feedback from Wordle makes it more clear you're guessing the same word? I thought it was pretty clear here with the distance.
Honest question, why does it matter? If we exclude ClosedAI, wouldn't an open source LLM trained on real web data benefit everyone?

> Prohibition does work

It didn't. We tried it.

Look, I'm all for reducing consumption. I'm on board with trying to improve public health, or just health of everyone in general. But prohibition does not work. Didn't work for alcohol. Didn't work for marijuana. Didn't work for sex education.

So the question to ask is, what does work? And realize that an all or nothing, black and white approach is counterproductive.

Educate, inform, regulate. That's the best we can do, and there's a lot of room in the 'regulate' part to make inroads. Perhaps someday we'll get to synthehol, but we're a long way from that today.
I regularly get requests to put text or a warning on a page that’s already there.

People just aren’t good with words and will come up with all sorts of reasons they didn’t see it.

That’s not to say I’m any better, just that I get to see all the requests and excuses. Bolder, bigger, alerts, doesn’t matter.
The problem with alcohol is that it's getting increasingly cool and pervasive not less. The breweries per square mile in my city is increasing quadraticly, more kinds of alcohol are being allowed to be sold at non-liquor stores. Every third space is adding a bar and bars are adding food and activities to become third spaces.

Alcohol is also fun in an inherently desirable way that cigarettes aren't. People don't drink because it's cool, people drink because they like being unsober. Smoking weed is super stigmatized and is outright illegal most places and people still do it. Those same people aren't buying cigarettes.

Alcohol also doesn't have a strong narrative of being addictive, difficult to quit, causing people to spiral into more and more consumption, or being inherently harmful to others. These things happen to some people but with cigarettes it was a guarantee for everyone even at moderate usage. The fact that alcohol makes you sick is a natural mediating factor for most people.

> Why would someone buy a headset instead of use an ipad or desktop? If there is nothing unique to VR why should people put a heavy thing on their head for about the same experience?

Because the experience can still be enhanced by the form factor and be compelling. Watching a movie isn't unique, but watching it on a 100ft display while trapped in a plane is compelling. The entire pitch is progressive experiences, and has been for every product they've shown since the iPhone. Take what you're used to doing and make an experience that progressively scale to the form factors.

> No, where have you seen this?

Countless posts here on HN and in the virtual reality community (like /r/virtualreality) that bemoan the device as a glorified iPad, and hate the amount of 2D windows shown.

> Most big developers don't care about devices unless they have a large amount of users

Big developers will take the risk, and are already doing so. Apple showed off multiple developers like Unity, Disney and more making apps. ( more here https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2023/06/developer-tools-to-cr... )

Part of that is that the visionOS allows for progressive experiences, which is not something other HMDs allow for. Developers aren't building an app for visionOS. They're adding to their existing codebases for iOS. Their investment therefore isn't a niche new platform, but the entire ecosystem.

There's a huge first mover advantage in software on these platforms as has been shown by the iPhone where people were going ga-ga over fart apps, and beer drinking apps. Those people made bank because they delivered fun knick-knacks before the market got saturated.

Even looking at other HMDs, it's often the big players and the indie players that move first. The middle of the spectrum are the ones who move last when the ecosystem is there. The Oculus Quest launched with a Star Wars game available.
This kind of mentality is absurdly inappropriate when working on something as security sensitive as a browser's JS engine.
Yea, I don't think this will happen over the longterm.

I do see worker dislocation in certain sectors though, can't see how LLM's won't substantially shake-up office work especially as Microsoft is already busy building them into the Office Suite.
Not surprisingly (as the OP), I disagree. Good names help people understand concepts; bad names confuse. Choosing good names is not merely aesthetics, it's bringing clarity, meaning, and culture.

That said, in this particular case, I think Russ could have chosen a better example. Neither "acquire" nor "take_ownership" are terrible. But when you're a language designer (like Russ), the names you choose shape people's code and their thinking for the next 10, 20, even 50 years. When you're a library designer (many of us are), it might only be a few years, but still.

I think as code reviewers we should take this as seriously as the context demands: for internal names and local variables, it's not too important. For public API names, very important. For language changes, extremely important.

Some good quotes from Bob Nystrom, author of "Crafting Interpreters":

"Names are the structure we impose on the formless sea of bits that is computing." http://journal.stuffwithstuff.com/2016/06/16/long-names-are-...

"For me, thinking about names is inseparable from the process of design. To name something is to define it." http://journal.stuffwithstuff.com/2009/06/05/naming-things-i...
After the acquisition has there been any other startup trying to duplicate the value prop of GoodReads? What are the barriers to entry for them?
They have more than enough data for good models. Training good models that work is the hard part it seems.
Yes, was going to comment that some three lettered agency needs to lift another Russian sub and needs plausible cover.
Make it commercially unpalatable. Nobody will touch 4chan.

I really wish it was easier to zoom in on the photos to find clues. Also the maps being used for the game were rough for me. Lacking details, town names, clear rivers unless you're way zoomed in, etc. Google maps would be a much better choice imo.

At my last employer they ran regular eNPS surveys using this 1-10 response scale where only 9 or 10 were considered positive. After much complaining from me that this was batshit crazy (I phrased this more appropriately at work), they finally switched to using just three possible responses. The question was something like "Would you recommend an acquaintance or friend with the appropriate skills to apply for a job at $Company?". The three responses were "No", "Maybe", and "Yes".
My first guess was 19 miles away and I totally thought they were in 5 different locations. I had lived in Pittsburgh for a short time and knew exactly those iron bridges were probably WV/Pittsburgh area.

Network effects, I assume? It would be hard to get everyone to move over without having some sort of draw, and I guess nobody had a successful enough idea for what that would be to get it to happen.

FakeToxicityPrompts: Automatic Red Teaming
I feel mostly the same about the web (and have kept blogging regardless of audience, discoverability, hype, etc.). I’m not an idealist to the point where I believe we will wind back the clock to before Google Reader was shut down and social networking became a rampant grab for eyeballs, but I like to find places where things are still original, even if few and far between.
I see, thanks for clarifying, especially on number (2) which I wasn't aware of. I always had an impression that the compiler ABI is somewhat tightly coupled with the system ABI and which is why I used them almost interchangeably.

So, Google premise is that they can provide alternative unique_ptr implementation in a way so that it breaks the C++ ABI without touching the Itanium ABI but with the benefit of unique_ptr fitting into the registers always rather than almost always? If so, I am not aware that they have shown any such implementation and its impact to their codebase?

> Presumably the scientists and engineers behind the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Therac-25 didn't think it would kill people.

Therac-25 is an excellent example, but of EXACTLY the opposite point.

On the contrary, abstract AGI safety nonsense taking such a strong grip on academic and industrial AI Safety research is what would most frighten me.

In the intervening decades, people concerned about software safety provided us with the tools needed to prevent disasters like Therac-25, while sci-fi about killer robots was entirely unhelpful in preventing software bugs. People concerned about software safety provided us with robust and secure nuclear (anti-)launch systems, while Wargames didn't do much except excite the public imagination. Etc.

We need scientist's and engineer's efforts and attention focused on real risks and practical solutions, not fanciful philosophizing about sci-fi tropes.
Prohibition does work provided the culture around drinking changes. Look at countries where alcohol is prohibited much lower rates of cirrhosis and alcohol related diseases. US prohibition didn’t work because most of US culture was not ready to give up alcohol and it was only implemented for about less than a decade. But if alcohol was banned for a larger time period, more education and cultural shift efforts, and more uniform enforcement, we would see much better outcomes and cultural attitudes change.
I found the first half of the OP a worthwhile read. In it, the author describes past instances in which the optimism of scientists proved... highly premature. It's a good reminder that we should always be skeptical of grandiose claims until proven otherwise.

The second half of the OP was mediocre. In it, the author attempts to criticize the optimism around recent advances in AI as premature, but fails to make any valid criticisms -- some of his points are not even wrong. My take: He's writing about AI topics involving mathematical notions he doesn't actually understand (e.g., he likely has no idea what a manifold embedded in a high-dimensional space might be, nor how concepts might be represented by it).
Not sure if you found this as well, but gpt-3.5-turbo-016 does a poor job following instructions other than parsing. So, to work around this, we prompt gpt-3.5-turbo with the rules we want applied say an extracted field and then go back to gpt-3.5-turbo-016 to parse with chatgpt functions.

Bottom line, every single post requires approximately 10 different prompts to refine the extraction.
Questing regarding error correction and logical qbits. From my very limited understanding logical qbits could mitigate some of the error but uses multiple physical qbits for every logical qbits. Has anyone created a quantum computer that has logical qbits? Say a small one with 16 physical 4 logical qbits quantum computer, or similar.
You're right that several problems are worse in the chest fridge. Squishing and cleaning are real differences. The shelving in the door is very useful... but it's useful because the door is shallow. A one-item-deep door can't block access to the rear layers of stuff that it doesn't contain.

A deep vertical refrigerator already completely obscures most of its contents, requires you to move items in order to get what you want, and contains drawers where the contents are not only stacked but completely invisible until you specifically open the drawer to search inside.

Your reference to moving items in the fridge from one shelf to another shelf (temporarily) in order to clean up a spill tells me that you're not engaging in typical deep refrigerator use. The other shelf is already full; to clean up a spill, you need to pull the things that were in the dirty area out of the fridge.
Yes I agree about staged rollouts, ability to 'unrelease' features, and so on.

But let's say you're part way through implemeting a new feature, and you need to alter a db table.

How do you know that won't affect existing code (apart from tests)?
How do you put that behind a feature flag anyway?

As I said, deploying a change like this, without it being used for anything, seems like all risk and no gain.
Peter's Kimchi Calculator
Why do you think time dilation needs to occur in our simulation? Be it from instance-shard transition due to cell crossing (special relativity) or inter-node lag due to spatial density (general relativity), system design constraints dictated the very rules of our “physical” existence.
