Overlooked by whom?

Even though most of the stuff OP writes about is worthless, I see it used a lot (if it's old) and less so, but still enough otherwise...

This article reads to me like as if it was written by someone learning Python, perhaps in their 3'rd-4'th month, when they finally decided to open documentation / some existing project code instead of implementing calculators and animal class hierarchies...
ChatGPT. Both that people use it instead but also that some people try to game SO with answers from it. So the moderation of the site has probably become harder.

SEO is another factor. At least I don't get as many results on SO as I used to. That may be because of many reasons but if the popularity of a site starts to fall Google search might speed that up.

EDIT: I see now that the drop started long before ChatGPT became relevant. But it won't help SO I think. Github copilot and Google featured snippets may also be factors.

Maybe you're correct. I've heard that explanation before but it just seems too incredible that they'd undermine their monopolistic global billion dollar business for a measly share of the revenue of geeks4geeks.
We need legislation that clarifies who owns a device and what consequences this ownership has. But we won't ever get it as governments and corporations feel that they should own the device. If they ever agree on a separation of ownership, it's game over. Our devices will become our biggest enemies.
> We got new information delivery methods that are significantly better and when going back to old methods we naturally get unsatisfied. Does that mean we are getting "dumber" as "attention deficit" memes imply or that certain fields are just failing to catch up?

the new delivery methods are not significantly better at delivering knowledge, but at diverting attention. They are engineered for that outcome, not for the information retention ability after a significant amount of time, or even for the comprehension of that information. So yes, as a result, the society is getting dumber, because our intellectual resources are rerouted to futile bits of nothingness.
""This game will shock the world. How can an interactive text game shock the world? We opened in 1991 and never stopped adding things. Today, 25 years later, we just opened version 5, the most in-depth multi-player game world ever contemplated, soon with hundreds of player-designed planets each with thousands of players who can move from planet to planet. This is a Google-sized jump in game features and potential never before seen.
"You can build your own house, have your own pet to train, try to become a hero, even have kids and make your own bloodline. You may become a pirate, be a trader, or even be elected Governor. The citizens in the game speak of your deeds, and the dragons you fly know you and speak to you. You can hire workers and start your own business and expand your town's land. The workers run your business 24/7, even as you may be offline. The goods you produce become part of the economy as players trade in a real supply and demand environment. You will do many things as a player here in Medievia, you may even be the one to save the world during war and forever become part of Medievia lore.

"The power of a text game has never fully been explored. While other multiplayer worlds are designing for more frames per second, we are designing for more things to do and new ways for people to play together, but most importantly new ways for them to become family. While other expensive games must purge their playerbase and force everyone to start over so they can cash in on the next big buck and the next version, the free Medievia game world has been getting more real and more feature-rich for over two decades, and here your character will live forever, even as we upgrade daily."

They are proud of what they have made. It sounds interesting like, dwarf fortress but you're the dwarf. Might give it a go.
Not my area of expertise and I agree with your concerns about lawmakers, but with the input of experts, such as yourself, would it not be achievable?

What I described is, after all, how desktop computers work. I can buy off the shelf components, assemble them, and install a variety of Linux distros or Windows. I don't quite understand why the same thing wouldn't be possible on mobile devices.
Hey, that's super interesting. Put in my and my SO's current distances, and the overlap seems pretty accurate (though smaller than I was hoping for!)
A 'Delta Force' if you will
For example:

While other small compilers still rely on gcc/llvm/etc to build the actual executable.
Looks interesting.
When the project started, CPU frequency scaling wasn't a thing, so CPUs would run at full speed (and full power draw) 100% of the time. If you weren't making maximal use of the CPU, any remaining capacity would go to waste. Distributed computing projects could make use of that remaining capacity.

Today, CPUs are built with power efficiency in mind, and will attempt to scale down rapidly when not fully in use. Thus there is no longer such a thing as "spare CPU time". Any time spent on distributed computing projects is paid for in electricity costs. Some choose to continue anyway, but many have been disincentivized.

IMO, it’s only a special case for commercial support reasons. Almost every engineer, QE, consultant, solution architect I know runs or has run nested virtualization for one reason or another.

Years ago, Google announced they would crack down on content farms, and SEO advice was really like "you NEED to have this meta tag if you duplicate content from elsewhere else google will fuck you over HARD!", but it seems they earn more money off of content farms then the sources.

This will hurt them long term I presume, but they won't care because they earned money.
That's a poor substitute. And also comes with Meta baggage. I can't speak for anyone else, but I will never invite a meta product into my home.

On the west side of Oslo they tore down two gas stations for the road construction , I doubt they’re coming back with gas pumps.
On the same stretch a popular gas station was recently rebuilt with fewer gas pumps and some very fast (200 or 300kW I think) charging stations.
I think we’re not very far from people realising that within 5-10 years it could start getting significantly harder to find convenient gas stations. The people
who drive the most are the first to transition, people don’t keep an expensive EV in their garage for occasional trips. Gasoline sales are plummeting in areas with high Ev adoption.
As many have pointed out… gasoline will be sold for decades. But how much of a detour will you need to fill your tank is the question.
If stories of this happening from Norway and Netherlands hits the rest of the world, I do wonder if it’ll accelerate the transition. Will car owners start worrying? Will they start loudly demanding action from their politicians, municipalities and apartment complex owners to get access to owner-night charging options?
May we even see more retrofitting options?
> And you still need to lure the victim to your site first.

You don't need to lure anything. Hack some websites. Plenty have publicly accessible analytics or logs. That gives you full IPv6 addresses to target. Ideally, it might give you a username as well.

What if someone gets the logs of an IOT cloud provider with IPv6 enabled IOT devices?

How many of those addresses have SSH, Samba, APFS, Telnet, or a DNS server running? How many have a username + password combo that's in a leak? How many have an IOT Restful API endpoint with unpatched vulnerabilities?

IPv4 NAT allows people to have quite weak security internally in a network, and not get compromised. Device firewalls don't work where the devices themselves provide services, which is increasingly common.
I think the wisest course of action is to boycott all chromium-based browsers. Yes it might be painful, yes you might not have your favorite extension or add-on. Suck it up. I've been exclusively using Safari for years, even after extensions were killed.
They should just add Google ads to all technical documentation pages. Problem solved.
PlantUML also has a nice library for C4 model diagrams available [0], which I've found very useful.

> Secondly, his description of each layer's function as adding information to the original vector misses the mark IMO--it is more like the original input is convolved with the weights of the transformer into the output. I am probably missing the mark a bit here as well.

I think his description is basically correct given how the residual streams work. The output of each sublayer is basically added onto the input. See
https://transformer-circuits.pub/2021/framework/index.html

> Lastly, his statement that the embedding vector of the final token output needs all the info for the next token is plainly incorrect. The final decoder layer, when predicting the next token, uses all the information from the previous layer's hidden layer, which is the size of the hidden units times the number of tokens so far.

I think the author is correct. Information is only moved between tokens in the attention layers, not in the MLP layers or in the final linear layer before the softmax. You can see how it’s implemented in nanoGPT:
https://github.com/karpathy/nanoGPT/blob/f08abb45bd2285627d1...

At training time, probabilities for the next token are computed for each position, so if we feed in a sequence of n tokens, we basically get n training examples, one for each position, but at inference time, we only compute the next token since we’ve already output the preceding ones.
It's a school - write or find a comprehensive set of instructions (for the happy path), give each student a chromebook and a blank USB, and have them do it. You get usable laptops and the students learn an important life skill - not necessarily that they memorise the instructions for next time, but that they learn what's possible.
I'm afraid "What api to use?" will be closed immediately as discussion, and "How to improve api usage/syntax?" as too general.
I'd take that a step further.

Every item manufactured should have, at minimum, it's recycling or safe disposal cost included in the price.

Let consumers make decisions based on the real costs.
Quests are a facebook data mining spyware machine, do you think they subsidize the low cost for fun? Why anyone would buy it, besides blatant ignorance, is a really good question. My opinion of Carmack has really cratered since he's been working at Oculus and peddling their anti-consumer adware crap.

Besides even the very top end headsets are still pretty early in terms of tech. Extremely narrow tunnel vision FoV that doesn't even come anywhere close to the 210 degrees required for full human vision, pixels visible on most and if they aren't you'll need an incredibly expensive rig to run those crazy resolutions at 90 fps. Games are also really pricey for what you get since they're targeting a niche market which by definition has to be loaded to be able to afford the setup anyway and has a sunk cost to justify. It's the console experience on PC. Plus you need to mount the trackers and find a way to manage that big fat cable for the headset, it's just piles and piles of expensive hassle for what's mostly still a gimmick.

I'm pretty sure it'll be pretty good a few generations of headsets in the future though, especially once on-the-level PC performance becomes more affordable and the game UX best practices improve. I'm glad the VR games industry is at least moving away from the dumb mandatory teleporting thing and letting people walk around normally now.
Commodore torched its US dealer network during the C64 days by both not informing them about a drastic price cut (because it was by all by all means an impulsive rapid choice by Tramiel), and focusing on low-end retailers like Kmart, and so when the Amiga came and the Commodore US tried to push it as a business machine that needed a dealer network they were screwed.

Some of the reasons Commodore kept doing so much better in Europe (to the point that Commodore UK management attempted to get financing for a buyout of their parent after the bankruptcy) was a mix of allowing the regional companies a lot of latitude to do their own thing (UK and Scandinavia was very games focused, Germany pushed more business sales) in smaller markets, not screwing their dealers over in Europe, and many of the European subsidiaries going full in on games more so than the higher end machines.

As a long time Amiga user (and Commodore 64 before that) it was really sad to see the fall, but Commodore was so deeply dysfunctional that it was just a question of when not if they'd eventually fail irrespective of whatever technology might fall in their laps.
Google's DRM today already enforces HDCP. You only see an encrypted mess in all debug tools of the browser in that case.

The second amendment is all that is left of a philosophy about how the national defense should be done. Originally the intent was that there would be no standing army because it would be too dangerous to democracy. In cases of emergency the militia (armed citizens) would be called upon to defend the nation. It would make perfect sense to have all the necessities for fighting a defensive war in private hands.
Does anyone know how the "death date" is implemented? Does the OS not boot if NTP says the date is greater than some preconfigured value? The article doesn't say.

Delivero have these super unrealistic estimates sometimes. The food is still being cooked at the other side of town but they estimate it might be delivered in a minute.

Always makes me think of cannon or ballistic missile based burito delivery. Because even with that the estimate is probably overly optimistic.
It's not my solution, it's just something I've seen done in commercial C software.
Good old Google forcing itself upon users like always.
Just so you know, barely anyone in the real world uses Chromium, and compiling Chromium takes hours (I have done that many times). So that's not an argument. Also, if this is ever becomes a standard or a de-facto standard, it probably will be implemented as a proprietary feature, in the same way as Widevine or more closely SafetyNet -- if anyone can easily get around this, there is no point of doing it.
Oops, yep, you're right.
> A sparse environment, no TV, simple toys, denying gifts from grandparents isn’t something noble.

Providing an environment conducive to personal growth IS noble. Of course it's not only a matter of removing damaging attention sinks, but also substituting those with more healthy alternatives, like books, activities, education, quality time with family, etc.
Publishing patches early is good. Publishing patches unexpectedly before embargo isn't.
So it's a conveniently self-imposed "problem", because websites could also just "sell adspace" like a billboard that anyone could confirm was displaying what was paid for. But instead of that, they created a problem of showing ads "dynamically" thereby necessitating the need to track users. Interesting.
Surely this is unenforceable given she is not a US citizen or resident?
Certain types of messages have legal and regulatory requirements about their contents. Assuming no such messages traverse your API and truncating them silently is a recipe for disaster.
I've been using Kagi[0] for a while now and it's pretty great in general - but also has options to boost up / down / totally ignore certain domains. It also has "lenses" that let you set a context (example: I'm searching for code stuff so just include sites a,b,c).

It's really good and IMO more than worth the price.

Its pretty annoying, for almost a decade all js questions have j query solutions, if you ask for that in reactjs or god forbid, vanilla js, which also went through many api changes, its still a duplicate.

Often itscthe same for css, where grid and flexbox are now standards, the old questions with replies full of vendor prefixes and very hacky solutions should be deprecated or transferred to archives.

Btw, how do the blog posts copying so questuons monetize and how does google not shut them down, the pages dont even work, I thought google would know better?
It's actually worse because there's no open source version of macOS. There are at least four options available to continue running an up-to-date version of Chrome on an out-of-support Chromebook (1. Lacros, 2. Chrome OS Flex, 3. Chromium OS, 4. Any old Linux with Chrome installed). There are zero ways to continue getting Safari updates on an out-of-support Apple device.
I understand your frustration but honestly the tone and style of your comment is dismissive and condescending. It strikes me that you are complaining about people treating others high-handedly and without understanding by epitomizing that attitude in your own post.

The link is in the second paragraph of the article, not burried at all.
Show HN: A video to show how we're revolutionalizing the metaverse
Would love your feedback on the video as well as the platform:)
I had a rented Oculus Quest 2 headset, and it completely put me off ever buying one. It was actually quite fun for a party where everyone was trying out, but:

- it got very uncomfortable very fast - everyone who tried it was drenched in face sweat after ~10 minutes, not a pleasant sensation

- the games are very un-interactive compared to traditional games. Even moving about is usually very limited, it felt like playing Myst or Zork again

- when a game did offer smooth movement, the movement without moving was extremely disorienting, and would have easily caused motion sickness if I hadn't stopped immediately

Overall, the fun of looking around a VR space is completely overshadowed by the extreme limitations in control and motion and comfort. I'm much more immersed playing a PC RPG than than a VR game, and I see nothing about any upcoming headset (including Apple's) that seems to have a change to fix this. I'm not even sure it is in principle fixable, given the optical (need something to block out light to show true blacks) and geometric (need room to actually move) limitations. Probably only some kid of direct brain-computer interface could bridge these gaps.
$300 is still a lot of money for many people for a single purpose device.

The most popular games consoles are the phones everyone has already, because they do other things, the game playing is effectively free. Not to mention that the games themselves have an upfront cost of $0 as well.

"Free" is hard to beat.

Musk never had any genuine interest in "free speech", as opposed to playing to the gallery of his fanbase, but from the POV of the Saudi conspiracy a Twitter takeover by an utterly boring conglomerate who quietly made it as compliant as possible with local laws (including Saudi ones) and tweaked the algorithms to make political stories less likely to surface would have been much more helpful than one by a fame-magnet pandering to a fanbase which loves populist politics and has no love whatsoever for the House of Saud. If you're working for the Saudis and playing 5D chess rather than 2D tech investing, that insincere posture isn't much use because he and his acolytes aren't holding that posture for you.
Agreed. GP comment was extremely weird to read, but I agree with the sentiment 100%.
My favourite _real_ example (at least until now; this may be even sillier) was the Royal Mail (the UK post office) which briefly changed its name to Consignia(!) Everyone sensibly ignored this, and it quietly changed it back after a while. The early noughties were a strange time.
> It's 90s DRM wave all over again.

Except in the 90s you controlled 100% of the code running on your computer. Now there are all kinds of treacherous computing with all those "trusted" execution environments and TPMs and all the other bullshit that can't be avoided, with someone else's public keys burned into the silicon.
Sometimes it can be as simple as "version 2 of this software does things this way, but I'm using version 14, how can I do this?". "Closed as duplicate: [question from 12 years ago]".
I think the GP might be yanking our chains a little bit.

Also you kind of have to include the UK in the list of countries that use imperial measures. We're mostly metric but the roads are in miles/yards and if you tried to take pints (which are larger than American pints at 568ml) out of British pubs in favour of the smaller half-litre it would make the party that did it instantly unelectable. People are nearly always measured in feet and sometimes weighed in stone (14 lb) too. I'm a little surprised we don't measure fuel efficiency in miles to the litre because that would be pretty typical of the British approach to measuring things.

I actually don't think it's a bad thing, a bit of mental maths never hurt anyone and it underlines the fact that units of measurement aren't handed down on a stone tablet as a fact of nature.

Honestly, this letter is an embarrassment. Anyone who has ever worked in corporate knows this letter is BS and that behind the scenes, the CEO probably was caught by surprise at the rebranding.

Also, I doubt the employees would be so easily fooled by the messages in the letter. For example, moving at the speed of light. Come on. That's just corporate speak that is repeated in every single company. Why repeat something that you know your employees don't find genuine?

Maybe she comes from a media background where workers are somewhat motivated by stuff like this? But from my experience, tech workers won't. They prefer no corporate speak and more honesty.
A significant difference is that goroutine stacks can grow, but also shrink, thus releasing memory after a temporary stack growth. Threads won’t do that.
