Hi HN!

I built a 24/7 Twitch stream where an AI clone of Paul Graham is doing a live AMA with the chat.

You can ask PG any question in the chat, and he'll answer you live.

I built this live stream over the weekend as a fun little hack, hope you enjoy it! :D

Have fun!
Industry groups complain people confused by click-to-cancel
What a joke. Because Microsoft is now failing as a gaming company the past 10 years, they’ve been allowed to swallow up competiton.

Practically every game they’ve released or worked on the past 5 years has failed. Halo Infinite might literally be the biggest flop in entertainment history.

Because of Azure they’re able to absorb these losses and continue to consolidate and eat the competiton.

There’s tons of examples in the past of gaming studios that underperform and end up downsizing - Sega is a great example.

Meanwhile, Sony and Nintendo continue to release quality titles knowing they have no infinite money backing.
I would say it’s unenforceable hence the guarantee is worthless.
That’s not at all the claim, and that’s not how it would work. If you tried to extract energy from the rotation, it would just stop.

Space flight is exactly the use-case for a propellantless drive because it would allow unlimited station keeping with only solar power as an input.

Satellites often have to be decommissioned because they run out of gas for their reaction control systems.

This drive would never run out.

I’ve always wondered why we use make in the first place. Is it really so hard to write a python script that keeps track of file time stamps in a JSON? gcc can even be invoked with certain flags to print header dependencies. Make is crusty, archaic, and over designed

Self-image really is important, especially on the dimension of self-efficacy. There are compounding effects in both the positive and negative direction though.

I’ve used this same idea to dig myself out of ruts. When things are fucked up I’ll start paying attention to small things and deliberately “defer” progress on a few bigger things that are harder to do and more costly to fail. Each small win helps build momentum into the next-biggest challenge.

I’ve found this super useful for avoiding “habit destruction” during major life events/travel/moving.

The ribbon is nothing more than a menu laid out in a grid, rather than a list.

The tool I'm referring to is the search box. It should be on the window chrome, alongside the ribbon tabs. You can find verification of that claim in your copy of Word, or basically any screenshot of it. The source is that it exists.
There are infinitely many hard things. It is hard to learn Japanese. We don't require that every high school student attain basic proficiency in it though.

The reason we learn calculus in high school is because it is foundational for many advanced STEM fields, and we will yield better results during university for the small percentage of students who go into those fields by forcing everyone to learn it in high school. Or, moreso, that's a viable justification for learning it today. Had history taken a different shape maybe we would learn something else, or maybe not. But the point is that calculus is not an arbitrary hard thing we learn for arbitrary reasons.
Except now there’s a human problem: let’s say I’m Filipino and you’re “supposedly” Chinese. The Chinese government swears to the system you’re a real person. Can we trust that?

I'm not sure this taking pride in ignorance. It just seems like she has other things that occupy her time and thoughts.

> The sad fact is that there still seem to be more than enough utterly braindead marks on the Internet that fall for these scams and thus make the spam campaigns, scare ads and other crap "worth the effort".

And that despite the size of Google, modern advancements in technology such as large processing power, AI and LLMs, all the tracking and anti-abuse mechanisms (that often misfire and ban legitimate accounts with no recourse), this shit still manages to get through while being super obvious.

We used to filter this crap out on forums back in the good old days with much more primitive tools (regexes and basic keyword matching + queuing for moderator's manual approval), but Google wants us to believe they can't while in reality they just don't care because they're not liable, have a monopoly and those spammers still contribute towards "engagement".
I think there is an similar argument for Greek and Latin in grammar schools. And the same for ancient Chinese in Chinese schools. Partly for cultural immersion and partly for brain gymnastics.

Math, and proof based Math such as Number Theory and Analysis is definitely in the same league if not for a career in academics.
There’s millions of Amazon sellers so you’ll always stumble upon “scams” such as that.

As the article points out, the only thing the Javadoc guarantees is the subsequent modifications of the character array have no effect. It says nothing about concurrent modifications.

The type whose thread safety is in question here is not actually String, but char[]. I'm not going to say it is always wrong to share char[] between threads (as a primitive array of something other than double and long, the Java Spec does make some guarentees about char[]), however it is almost always wrong to be sharing char[] between threads.

If you want a language that protects you from this type of mistake, you simply need something more advanced than Java.

This isn't even the biggest hole in Java's safety. Java has a type system, which is at least a nominal claim to type safety. Yet, you can do things like:

Integer[] foo = new Integer[1];
Object[] bar = foo;
bar[0] = new Object()

And the compiler will let you (although the runtime won't).

Its even worse with generics:

List<Integer> foo = new ArrayList<>();
List bar = foo;
bar.add(new Object());
System.out.println(foo.get(0));
Integer x = foo.get(0);

Will compile, and won't even through an exception until the very last line, past the point where you have retrieved and used a non Integer from a List<Integer>

In fairness to java on the last one, it is at least a warning, and a deliberate compromise to support backwards compatability when they introduced generics.

If this is true it’s interesting that NATO was never mentioned in the accidentally posted “victory” article, that Russian state media posted a couple days into the war.

The article was all about righting historical wrongs and how Ukraines independence in 1991 was a mistake.

The acronym NATO isn’t even in it once.

You are not giving the full picture in this trade. The people making the spec knew the trade well. You add a lot of complexity to a receiver by forcing it to generate its own timing information from whatever video signal is sent. That work has to be done somewhere and it is most robust when done at the source.
Might not answer your question, but David Spivak wrote a paper on database migration. https://math.mit.edu/~dspivak/informatics/FunctorialDataMigr...

To attempt to answer your question, my guess is that no-one has a fully general solution to database migration at the moment. I suspect we aim for good enough and fast enough.
It’s the foundation of a lot more than just physics.

It’s absolutely crucial to economics and business, and it is a travesty that it isn’t a required part of lower division curriculum. You cannot grasp micro/macro/applied/business economics without understanding relationships between changing variables.

I don't want to be overly rude, but this is nonsense. The reason to learn calculus is that it's incredibly useful in several domains and never learning it prevents you from become a skilled practitioner in those domains which in turn reduces your future earning potential.

> The City of Sydney is going to have to recognise that to increase economic activity in the city there will have to be a reduction of cars to allow more persons access to this important economic space.

The City of Sydney _council_ definitely realises this - however the state transport agency (TfNSW) has historically prioritised vehicle throughput over placemaking, though the Movement and Place Framework is starting to change this (this framework takes a lot of inspiration from Gehl's work).
Content farms work right now because ad views can't be refunded; by the time you've loaded the page (and realized you got tricked by clickbait/spam), it's too late and they already got paid.

A micropayment system where you are able to request refunds/dispute payments will break that model.
At the time, I preferred those hours anyway. I imagine there would be too many things to get just right if I wanted to adjust those hours, though you work with what you got. Issues would be temp, humidity, noise, etc Also loads of unknowns. A lot of these can be adjusted for, but this schedule worked perfect for me. I didn't have a nightlife, but I spent lots of time with friends during the day.
One of the dumbest things I’ve ever heard a math teacher tell me/the class is “you’ll probably never use this outside of this classroom”! And I’ve heard this story before, so it seems slightly common?

I entered college without a rock solid foundation in mathematics and it made things much more difficult.
I suspect it's the justification for many PhDs. If you don't go into academia then chances are the content isn't that relevant, but the experience of having to problem solve in uncharted territory is a great confidence booster and skill to have.
> If we can screen for cancer earlier we will save a huge number of lives (and prevent a lot of pain and misery).

It's not clear.

The last time I looked at these data (about a decade ago), we were catching more cancers than ever and people were living longer. But really we were screening earlier so time from detection->death was longer.

Some of these cancers didn't matter. The studies I refer to above were for breast cancer. In the case of prostate cancer, most men have it when they get old. It develops slowly and most patients "die with it but not of it", i.e. it had nothing to do with their death. For those cases intervention is unnecessary pain and misery. And indeed, I believe the treatment regime in the US is now "watchful waiting" with rare intervention.

There has been a revolution (several, actually) in cancer treatment over the past decade and the prognoses for several are much more promising. So this comment is specifically about your general hypothesis, not to criticise your aim in commenting with it.
Eh. It's sort of true. While the screen has individual phosphors, they're not individually addressable. What is sent is an analog signal that indicates intensity (of a specific channel) at the current time. As an analog signal, it cannot change instantaneously. Instead you get a bunch of waves indicating varying intensity of each channel over time. Pixels in frame buffers get mapped to time slices in that signal. The DAC attempts to create the correct wave to match the framebuffer data, but it's always going to have analog fuzziness at the physical level. And if you have a higher-frequency DAC, you can map more pixels to the same amount of time, and then get higher horizontal resolution.

Of course, that's all for horizontal lines. The number of vertical lines is actually part of the signal. It's just that there's a lot of fuzziness in how many times you can subdivide an individual line.

Calling this a "bug in java.lang.String" is silly. The same "bug" exists for all functions that take mutable objects. If you take a map and lookup two different keys, yep, that's a "bug".

The bug is the other piece of code that introduces the data race in the first place. You can argue the case for languages like Rust with it's borrow system, or others that use linear types or something along those lines, to eliminate the possibility of this happening, but it's quite misleading to say that the innocent user of a mutable object is the source of a bug. You may as well say there's a bug in `printf("Hello, World!\n");` in C because you could have another thread writing random values to random memory, running `while(1) { *((unsigned char*)(void*)rand()) = rand(); }`
For what it’s worth, I’ve been “in IT” 8 years now. Most of that spent as various types of helpdesk support. Now I’m one of the admins with a MSP and work the more complicated tickets. It’s great, I love my job, and salary is good enough my wife was able to become a stay at home mom. You don’t have to go a development route to make something out of IT. Find an area of it you like, and push for your own development there. It seems MSP’s are hiring quite competitively right now. Look around and see what roles interest you.

Also, I don’t have my A+ either :)
If you "jaywalk" within 20 metres of an intersection you can be fined. This is fairly common if police are doing a blitz - I've seen it happen near universities and high schools.

You are expecting these models to do something that not even their creators claim they can do. Of course they will fail at it.
I would say it’s actually now the “modern” approach.

The old way was to move fast and break things.

The new way is extreme risk aversion and lawyers. We’ve swung in the complete opposite direction because in the eyes of the current zeitgeist, all tech companies are default evil until proven otherwise.

Governments like the EU have made it clear they do not like their citizens interacting with experimental technology products that might be rough around the edges. Gotta protect everyone from these awful scary new fangled chat websites.

OpenAI got away with it by being a first mover.

Pass candidates through CLIP. Flag images with obvious garbage descriptions.
You can do it very easily with podman without sudo or any root access.
Interesting - could you explain more about the strange phenomena and lack of documentation?

I've heard there is still present issues with lack of documentation, and more experienced folk having left the development team.
Well that’s the idea, isn’t it? If you’re not doing well in your business you aren’t being anti-competitive by trying to buy your way back into the game. Hence, the decision to allow it.
Manned spaceflight happened more than a half century ago too. I don't think arbitrary technical advancements are a good benchmark for whether we live in a simulation or not.
Yeah as a former Blizzard fanboy I'm not sure anyone could do more damage to Blizzard than Blizzard did to itself. The only direction Microsoft could take them is up.
Related to the idea of "no one trains on data they own, they shouldn't own the resulting model": since big public datasets like The Pile have CC-SA items in them, is anyone considering bringing the argument that model weights are derivative work that must be "shared alike"?
I think that analogy has been around for a while. ;)
Maybe. Some people really want to imprint moments in time. Incorporating a distinct taste is a great way to help in that. Really, the more senses you can fire all together and notice, the more I would think you could imprint a moment.
sponsorblock doesn't just have sponsor segments. There are segments for intro, outros, filler content, non music section for music videos, etc. Depending on the type of content you watch, skipping these segments are great. Sponsorblock has a config option so you can toggle on/off which type of segments you want to skip.
What is it with so many recent "software" posts sounding like those grumpy old man (who can be traced back to the ancient Greeks) saying "back when I was a lad, everything was so much better, and we had it real hard..."

The reality is non of these people use the software from 30 years ago because it's missing functionality, and if the developers would take away tools from the toolbar they would be the first to complain that they have to access them through a menu (or that the fonts look pixelated). Optimising for 800x800 resolution is counterproductive if 99% of users have at least HD screens.

Ironically someone pointed out that you can take away most of the toolbars in textmaker to make it look very much like the old software (except for smoother). So really what are you complaining about?!
> But with Apple Silicon, there's actually never been a better price to performance ratio at the bottom end of their lineup, perhaps in Apple's entire history. An entry-level Mac Mini or MacBook Air can give an indie creator tremendous power and performance per dollar.

The frustrating thing is just how quickly value decays with Apple's pricing strategy.

When it comes to the Mac Mini/Studio, outside of some extremely niche applications, it really only makes sense to get base models. It is infuriating how much Apple charges for additional ram.
> We will never see a Tier-1 ORM in Golang

That sounds like a good thing, having dealt with Hibernate in production. As a backend developer, I'm pretty happy with C++17 (and beyond), Go and Rust. All of them can be used in fairly explicit ways, which means debugging a problem is easy, and performance issues are right there on the page if any. I want less magic, not more.
If you didn't packetize then the receiver would never recover line coding state when a single symbol is missed. The rest are incidental details.

My favorite book on this is APE by Guy Kawasaki.

APE stands for "Author, Publisher, Entrepreneur" and I always felt like he made the process really approachable.

In my opinion, there were one or two sections of the book that got a little too nitty gritty (like literally giving click-by-click instructions for certain steps).

But overall, if you're looking for one great book to just orient yourself, this is it.
