Worth mentioning that Quake 3 used C as a scripting language back in 1999. The engine used a modified LCC compiler [1] to generate byte code for execution in its own virtual machine. The same could be achieved today by embedding a WASM VM and compiling your C/Zig/Rust whatever to web assembly.

As an aside, I find the idea of writing game code in unmanaged C++ perplexing. Even the original Quake, which targeted DOS-era hardware, relied on a scripting language running in a plain vanilla interpreter (no JIT here). In the [current year] I would think advances in computing power, parallelism, and JIT technology would be more than adequate to accommodate an interpreted scripting language.

I think today with things like CoPilot that speeds up development significantly the era of python and untyped languages is past its peak.
Don't see any ill-will here. They changed license fairly early without soliciting years of contributions from others (like, only a few months old and probably a handful of contributions from public from what I can skim). They don't call it open-source any more and the new license doesn't contain any words of "open" or "free" or "source" in the name ("Hugging Face Optimized Inference License").

People make mistakes when choosing a license and should be OK if they course-correct fairly quickly.

I'd love a phone that converts to a tablet, but I'm not about to pay more than I paid for my desktop computer. That, and I'm hoping someone figures out a "rollable" phone without a waterfall screen instead.

> allowing people who feel oppressed (whether they are or are not) to play in the "oppression olympics" by creating tangential opinionated discussions

Prior to your comment, nobody in this thread has said anything about any of this. This is all stuff that you seem to have read into things people have said that don't actually say anything of the sort.
The ABI complaint is sound. That really shouldn't be smeared out over the compiler front end (clang) and the architecture lowering (llc, ish). I kind of blame C for that one but maybe we could do better.

Llvm in general is pretty easy to work with. A single IR with multiple passes is a good way to build a compiler. Extending clang somewhat less so, though people seem to make that work anyway.
Do you mean you do _not_ capture stacktraces of errors in a live system ? How do you go about understanding where the error comes from ?
so many conversation about discord/slack/$currentThing vs IRC end up repeating the "why Dropbox when you can rsync" meme
How many keys can I store inside a laptop's TPM? Is there a limit? I have hundreds of SSH key pairs, one for each thing I connect to. My .ssh/config file defaults to a nonexistent key for all hosts, except for hosts configured elsewhere in the file, where each host gets its own IdentityFile entry.
Do the same astronomers also propose banning lights being on at night?
Some pretty sage wisdom. Wish there was more of this on HN. Though I'd love to learn more about his lessons in marketing.
Very nice. Reminds me of a Crystal-powered SvelteKit.
Folks who worry about this have an excellent outlet for their concerns: don’t have outdoor cats, and donate and work to spay and neuter feral outdoor cats. They are orders of magnitude more destructive to the bird population than wind turbines will ever be.
Ooh good word choice. Lying and hallucinate have felt inadequate, I agree with you that confabulation best captures what is going on.

Plus I think its kind of archaic now, so it has less baggage to contend with/be translated between folk
Says clang isn't a toolsmith’s compiler. Doesn't mention clangd. Hmmm. Even Apple switched from libclang to clangd.

What good would a bigger screen in my pocket be? My current phone is already uncomfortably large. It's not like my thumbs or palms are getting any bigger. I wish they made smaller Pixel phones, not bigger.
Couldn't they apply the same controls Safari uses to all WebViews embedded in other apps? Or at least make that an option?
Thank you so much Peter! This is super helpful, I'm feeling more better & secure now :D
At least in terms of aircraft I think you have some camp tinted glasses on. Aircraft, vehicles, ships, and equipment of all sorts has always been developed by private industry. Often in very close partnership with the military, of course. Any manufacturing capacity directly owned by the US Government has always been extremely specialized. Think Los Alamos and Oakridge vs Boeing.
> By generating adversarial examples to fool both Vicuna-7B and Vicuna-13b simultaneously, we find that the adversarial examples also transfer to Pythia, Falcon, Guanaco, and surprisingly, to GPT-3.5 (87.9%) and GPT-4 (53.6%), PaLM-2 (66%), and Claude-2 (2.1%).

I wonder why Claude-2 seems to be so much more resistant to transfers. That’s surprising.
The article has a link[1] to a discussion between the blog author and the paper author that I find revealing.

Perhaps as a reminder, the issue is that the paper’s implementation of their 2-nearest neighbor secretly uses an oracle to break ties, which obviously inflates the accuracy compared to a real-world kNN classifier that has to choose heuristically. To be fair, this could be a weird implementation accident and not malice. But I think it does invalidate the results.

But rather than admit error, the author defends this choice, and does so using (in my opinion) dubious statistical arguments. Which leads me to believe that — at least at this point — they know they made a mistake and just won’t admit it.

They claim that instead of a real-world accuracy, they wanted to find the “max” accuracy that their classifier was statistically capable of. That is, the accuracy you get if the stars happen to align and you get the luckiest possible result. Well, not only is this creative new metric not described in the paper, it’s also not applied to the other algorithms. For example, I think a neural network is capable of achieving a “max” accuracy of 100%, if all the initial weights happen to perfectly encode both the training and test sets. But of course they just use standard training to give the numbers for those algorithms.

Fortunately, this is an offshore turbine, so it gives a lot of surface area for marine life to live on, which eventually turns into food for birds.

It sounds like you actually don't disagree with the article at all.
Is there a breakdown of the human-supplied vs battery-supplied energy for 450km range. Is this going down hill, uphill? How much cargo? "Plenty of bags", what type, plastic lunch bags filled with air? In the "80x" more efficient, does it just count human calories as free, because I don't think human calories are as green as you think they are.

Let's say I want to do something actually useful, like grocery shop, and I need 30kg of groceries taking up something like .3 m2 space. Where does this vehicle fit into that use case? Also, I want to not die if I impact anything more substantial then a tumbleweed.

It's pretty annoying when people put forward a totally unpractical solution then throw their hands up with a "well we had the solution that could save the world but nobody listened!"
> If you were driving past and saw a friend walking or rolling there, what would your first thought be:

>>“Oh, no, Henry’s car must have broken down! I better offer him a ride.”

>>“Oh, looks like Henry’s out for a walk! I should text him later.”

To me, this is a great way of framing it. I sometimes see people walking along a stretch of road and I feel for them because I know that no human would be waking along that stretch unless their life was in a bad place.

> Instead you're prolonging the last vestiges of their innocence and making them less-aware as a result. By making unknown things a reward for them, how do you think they will react in the future?

My parents had parental controls on everything as I grew up. We played on Nintendo systems since they're mostly family friendly. We had "dumb" phones until I was able to buy my own smart phone.

My "innocence" wasn't prolonged as a result and I also wasn't a "less aware" child. Instead, I went outside and played with friends in the real world. I'm very appreciative that my parents limited screen time and blocked pornography on all our devices. It didn't work 100% effectively, but the 99% effectiveness definitely impacted how I grew up in a positive way.

If you weren't raised this way, maybe it's not a great idea to assume this method causes more harm than good? My experience is definitely anecdotal, but I'm sure that it's not an isolated experience.
They are literally willing to mail out samples of their claimed superconducting material to labs for independent testing and verification.

Exactly how much more proof than "Here, have a super conductor we made" do you want exactly?

The only thing required is a little patience.
Not yet (from my knowledge since I didn't receive emails about this, and I haven't leave the country yet), but I don't know what will happen next.
The basic principle of the greenhouse effect is that light from the sun hits the earth. Some of it is reflected out into space (because the atmosphere mostly lets it, some of it is absorbed and converted into heat. The heat can be radiated as IR but IR tends to get trapped by the atmosphere.

Solar panels are all black. So from a very nitpicky perspective, the energy used to power the A/C creates heat that is not radiated in the same way as, say, having a giant mirror on your roof would. The heat is also released locally rather than being aimed at the sky.

But from an overall perspective you are correct, because the alternative to solar is just having a regular roof which will convert some of the light into heat without doing any useful work, and because you'd probably get your energy from some less clean source.
Over the past 5 or so years everyone I know who previously held Samsung in high regard for non-phone products has had an experience which has put them completely off the brand for the foreseeable future. They market themselves as high-end, but their reliability, service, and usability are worse than the budget brands. It doesn't matter how awesome your TV screen looks if it stops working after 4 months because some proprietary internal part fries itself and takes the panel with it and they want to charge you $1000 to repair it.
First, many of them sung a different tune when they were challenging power before becoming established power.

Second, they weren't subject to much public scrutiny as they weren't yet household names until maybe the mid '10s when tech companies took over the market.
The entitlement in this comment is astonishing by any standards. Truly something to behold. I'm amazed someone lacked the self-awareness to consider posting something like this not only acceptable but even as a sort of call for sympathy. You will not be missed, neither by Costco nor by paying members.

I'm skeptical a Costco employee 'literally screamed' at you, that's grounds for getting fired. Per Occam's razor, I think it's more likely you're not used to people confronting you when you're in the wrong and this often gets misunderstood as 'hostility'.
They are only adopting USB-C because the EU is forcing them to, and they still are intentionally limiting features on cables that don't meet their standards (ie paying a license to Apple.)
It's offshore, so it provides surface area for marine life to live on. Fish can eat that algae, and birds can eat those fish.
That’s pretty much the opposite of memory, as the behavior is completely innate.

The paper describes the method for producing the prompt and has screenshots of examples. The press release just didn't bother because the genre of academic press releases seems to require leaving out any details.

If something is an interesting debate then most people don't have the expertise to engage meaningfully with the facts and arguments being put forward. Experts can bullshit you all day and no amount of critical thinking is going to pull you out of a deep well of ignorance.
It's funny, still actively working in the tech space I usually don't really feel my age, but topics like this remind me that I've been around a long time. At one point I think you would have found most large *ix-using organizations running internal IRC servers or even networks. When Slack first came out, it had a first-party IRC bridge, partly for this reason.

IRC is very much a first-generation distributed comm protocol, but by the time it was mature it had most of the capabilities of current systems, mostly provided by external services. As Jamie Zawinski once observed about email, team chat has a common set of functions that people will always want and any system used for that eventually implements all of them or is replaced; and if a system implements these functions better, it also replaces its predecessors. I mean, I'm old enough to have regularly used 'talk' at work, evolution is a good thing.
Ask HN: Who is your favourite living philosopher?

I've written to an MP maybe 10 times in total and I would say 80% responded with a template. But they do at least have to have an assistant read the letters and pick the right template response.

The one I remember where they didn't do that was when I wrote to them saying that Ordnance Survey's maps should be free, and that did actually improve! They're not totally free not but they are much freer.

And the worst response I've had was the most recent when I wrote about the UK's insane criminalisation of term time holidays, and they wrote back assuring me that they were doing everything they could to deal with COVID??

Even so, still much more effective than petitions.
That kind of points to other systemic problems of your society.
> Clapper could not have answered that Yes/No question with "That's classified" without revealing whether the answer is Yes.

If the answer to a question is classified then it is classified regardless of whether it is yes or no.

But the answer to that question being classified is objectionable, because a large proportion of the public would have taken issue with not knowing, because they would have objected to the program.
Sympathies to you and I hope you can get it reversed. Work fast and do whatever you can to get your account back. Once the account is gone, there's no way to even retrieve it.

Its very simple security solutions that they could implement to fix these issues or pay a few dozen people to be the "live support" that is currently nonexistent.

1. Your email is required.

2. A phone number is required.

3. Authentication code required.

Solutions:

1. If someone is attempting to login from an IP address that has never been seen before, all 3 above are required.

2. If someone is attempting to change your email, then #2 and #3 above are required.

3. If someone is attempting to change your phone number, then #1 and #3 are required.

My mom lost her account and tracking what she clicked, history, etc. proved futile. You would think that a "billion dollar corporation", Meta (Facebook), would have better security features and measures as they seem to pride themselves on which is all just bullsh*t.

I'd made all efforts but was unsuccessful.

My stepfather passed away from COVID-19 in early 2022 and my mom had less than a hundred friends on her account, some who have passed away, but she visits their wall to keep their memory alive every so often, with him being one of them, so she would memorialize his Facebook page by posting on it and making herself feel better. It was heartbreaking when I had to tell my 70 year old mother she wasn't going to be able to do this anymore.

This person then started posting things for sale on her account and taking photos of what looked like their own home. Quite unclear why they would even do this. And I messaged them, only to be blocked. And it was only after I rallied enough of her friends to keep reporting the account that Facebook finally removed it.

My father also had his Facebook account recently hacked, but we got it in time and changed the password. It must be something with older people clicking random things that are stealing their passwords.

As for my own lessons... learned from them... the best thing to do is to enable Google Authenticator or another similar app, which seems to be superior to the SMS method for some reason. Just be weary about what you click, but you aren't alone... this is probably happening to a few thousand people a day.

And the only thing Zuckerberg is interested in, is his Metaverse. Can't wait for that to be hacked.. maybe then he'll finally do something.
Is following this kind of info a hobby of yours? I find it fascinating, but I can’t imagine how learning enough to have a truly informed opinion about these topics could be actually useful to me.
I haven't seen a single competitive SBC with a comparable stuff stack.
It either needs constant updates by the vendor (as the RPi) or simply upstreamed open-source drivers.
People who have lots of children, and people who are prosperous, currently do not care about the future. In fact, it seems the wealthier people are the LESS they care about the future for some reason.

If you ask me, people need to be more educated, and especially when it comes to science and misinformation. Wealth won't make people better people, which isn't to say that inequality isn't a problem, it is, but fixing it won't solve the climate problem. That comes purely from ignorance and selfishness.
Presbyopia starts kicking in at around 40-45 years of age, and makes reading on a phone screen increasingly difficult. It's hard to make the text large enough even with the largest of today's normal phone screens, especially considering the aspect ratio. The foldables fix that issue. Not only is the screen larger, but the aspect ratio is much closer to what you want for reading.

I fully expect my next phone to be a foldable just due to this.
> Apple either does not have or does not care about real world cross device testing for Screen Time.

FWIW, we've used it for years with many devices and never saw an issue like this.

The boring reality is that bug-free software at scale is impossible, and millions of Screen Time users experience bugs that no QA group, regardless of resources, could have tested.
I think another obvious answer would be to make community college classes available to prisoners. In California (and other places) it’s very easy to get community college for free regardless of income level. Doing this more widely and offering people in prison CC classes for free means that this isn’t something “special” only people in prison get. You could even take a page out of Georgia Tech and similar universities’ books and offer prisoners online versions of classes with prerecorded materials + a TA with office hours and that they can email for questions to relatively cheaply deploy classes in prisons without needing to spend a professor’s time and without the security concerns of them entering the prison.

Wirth silver(?) Pascal book used 'b' overstruck with a backslash when spaces needed to be shown explicitly.

Take cobol. The data division is highly column based, not mandatory though but you never get any of the columns straight except the first one. It will work but its hard on the eyes.
Take (ibm) assembler, it sometimes needs a continuation character in column 72. Where is column 72 in proportional?
The only thing really missing here is a common community-focused anti-corporate license with a catchy name.
You just proved my point so many times over, it's hilarious. Typical turning a blind eye to Apple's wrongdoing. Apple was genius to create a cult around their product that is so blind to everything they do that screws anyone not in the cult. If Microsoft, Google, etc did some of this stuff you'd undoubtedly not support it, and you'd be right to.
I guess you haven't heard about the side-channel attacks exploiting frequency throttling of the echos emanating from seashells.
What if you had a small phone that could become big on demand, for enhanced content consumption or productivity tasks?
We massively subsidize highways, so I don’t really see a problem with having other options that aren’t “profitable”
The funny thing about the way people use "politically correct" nowadays is that what you are saying is that the view "diversity is good" is not a correct one to espouse within your political tribe. That is, what you're saying is that it's not politically correct to have "politically correct" views. And nobody who espouses what you call "politically correct" views ever uses the term "politically correct". They just say what their actual views are.
I was 11 or 12, I don't remember much :-) Definitely could get him going at a reasonable pace. But I dunno. I'm sure there are horsey type people here who can talk about bareback riding, or youtube would help (tho ... other ... content might come up). I recall being taught to ride this way, but I also recall it had disadvantages.
Deepfakes on tap. Does this have a legitimate use?
I just miss having that option.

The market offering only bigger phones seems a bit... heavy handed? Ba-dum.
Another lane would not actually help, because I don’t want to drive there.
Personally, I'd just open my laptop or plug it into the desktop monitor.

Like even a giant iPad with a keyboard isn't productive for me. I just use my phone to check messages, read the news, etc. If I want to do something useful, I just sit down at the ultrawide and use a real OS with like four times the memory.

I played with those folding phones at the store last week and thought to myself "nah, just more shit to break. And what would I do with it anyway? Watch YouTube slightly bigger? It'd be much harder to type on too."
