As russian, when I encounter people comparing the state of media in Russia to the worst excesses of government influence in media in US like they are comparable - I think to myself “what a bunch of fucking idiots”.

It’s the same ignorant halfwit crowd that compares minor inconvenience to Holocaust, having to follow an HOA rule to Stalin’s repressions, and anyone telling them what they don’t like to Hitler.

I live in US now and I complain periodically about various imperfect, unfair, annoying things that are associated with any society. Humans suck. They are selfish and dishonest in large proportions, some of the time. But what is happening right now in Russia has brought back into focus for me and reminded me just how much better the West is. Fucking treasure it while you have it.
I don't think that's the only factor. I think it's also just culture.

I grew up on a street (in the US) where many of my neighbors did have the same landlord as my family, but none of us spoke to each other; they were basically strangers like any other.

> The required location of tactile signs is relatively uniform (i.e., beside or, where permitted, on doors) to make them easier to locate without vision. The height is limited to a specific range (48 inches – 60 inches) to facilitate reading by touch.

So a blind person touches a door frame, and gets a cue to feel for a sign.

NYC is a large city; there are parts of Brooklyn and Queens that have very reasonable commutes into Manhattan (particularly lower Manhattan), and other parts with extremely long/essentially impossible commutes.

The part of Brooklyn that I live in is somewhat cheap, and it takes me about 35 minutes on average to get to Lower Manhattan. I pay about $1600 a month in rent, sharing a 2 floor 3BR with a roommate. The people I know in the area pay similar amounts.

I went to high school in the Bronx; it has good and bad areas like everywhere else in the city, but I think its bad reputation is largely undeserved. My guess is that we’re going to see a lot of “rebranding” of Bronx neighborhoods to make them more palatable over the next decade.

(And note: all boroughs in NYC are both residential and commercial, so lots of people don’t commute into Manhattan at all.)

Those same contributors that remained on vim instead of neovim didn't put much effort into vim9 ecosystem either. I can't imagine them being willing to maintain all of vim's baggage when literally nobody writes vim9script. Classic vimmers tend to stick to the old vimscript.

As you said, contributing a few patches to classic vim is one thing, but becoming an actual maintainer of the behemoth that comes with a ton of useless baggage is a whole another thing. Maintaining a programming language no one uses.. sisyphus would be proud.
>No future for Vim without Bram? People said the same thing about Apple when Steve Jobs passed away.

Well, they were making a wrong prediction, but also a totally unrelated to the Vim/Bram situation comparison, then.

This is not the case of a huge multinational company with tens of thousands of employees, hundreds of billions in cash, hundreds of millions of users, a strong product lineup, and a strong C-level team, who has been preparing for 2 years for its CEO eventual demise, complete with another person taking his CEO role way before that happened.

As Apple was at the time of Job's passing.

This is a FOSS software project, strongly associated and mostly solely written almost predominantly by a single person [1], with another fork that has a vibrant community and more modern features.

So, to keep the relevant parts of a comparison, this is an multi-person entity fully prepared for the demise of its leader, with people ready to take over, and stocked to the brims with the essential fuel to continue it's operation (cash), vs an entity that was essentially an one-man-show, with no preparations for the next day, and with a quite popular alternative ready to take over.

[1] Bram has 16,515 commits, the next biggest contributor has 68 times less commits. Or, 1/50th lines added. And it goes downhill from there, with the rest of the contributors added together being 1/50th Bram's contribution as well.
How much of the rest of the vim ecosystem is Lua-based, though? As far as I know it's still mostly vimscript.

Vimscript's dominance in vim is one of the things that got me to switch to emacs when I got interested in Lisp and Scheme more than a decade ago.

Sure, even then I could write scripts for vim using Vim's scheme compatibility mode, but I'd probably be one of the only ones doing so. Pretty much everyone else was using vimscript.

In Emacs the whole ecosystem is in eLisp, so I'd feel right at home there, could naturally integrate other eLisp codebases/projects, could easily get help on anything related to working with eLisp in emacs.

If I'd written scheme scripts in vim my work would always be a second-class citizen in the vim ecosystem.

How's the vim ecosystem now? Is vimscript still dominant?

Monopoly?

Its confusing how you can argue against monopolies but support the the biggest monopoly of all... the government.

ANY fair system is completely impossible just by the nature of human beings.

There is no world and no system which unfairness does not exist.

However, a free market at least doesnt put all the power and control into the hands of a singular monopolistic entity that can use violence as an option.

NYC's main issue is that transit transfers between services are painful. Transfers between PATH, LIRR, NYC Ferry, MTA & the Air-Train can add a lot of unnecessary precious minutes. The MTA's newly minted OMNY payment system does not work on any of these either. The NYC transit system is expansive, but people stick to a select few locations because the transfers are so painful. Fixing this would be the easiest & cheapest solution to release some pressure from the housing market.

Then there is NYC's generosity which follows (Blue city?) America's quintessential 'spend a lot, but never address the problem' approach. Between 50k-100k illegal migrants are being housed in NYC hotels right now ! Really ? The world's most expensive real-estate is the best place for housing illegal-migrants in country with the world's most hospitable area ? About 100k people are in homeless shelters in similarly prime real-estate.

Same issue with rent control. In NYC, Roughly 1,006,000 rent-stabilized homes make up about 28 percent of the overall housing stock and 44 percent of all rentals. That's insane! Rent stabilized/controlled apartments face inevitable dilapidation while heavily limiting new housing supply in a city. Rent control is one of the best-studied : 'methods that do not work'. (In NYC rent stabilization is more common, but effectively follows the same patterns as rent control) Afaik, this does not include 500,000 housing projects residents, a lot of whom live in prime residential space in NYC.

Social welfare & housing assistance are all well & good. But, no one should be entitled to a zip-code. NY's expansive rail network means that you can live 30 miles out of town, and still be within 30 minutes of your workplace. Let the location of housing assistance get decided by the free market. You can have your rent controlled apartment or NYCHA assistance. But, you aren't entitled to live walking distance from the WTC just because you're poor or have been renting since 1970.

I agree that sustainable urbanism & dignified living should be central parts of 1st world city policy. But, blue cities in the US seem to be hellbent on looking at issues from the worst possible lens. Their solutions always answer the question : "What is the best way for us to maximize spend, minimize guilt and somehow lead to everyone being worse of ?". I had long thought that this pathology was limited to west coast cities, but the infection appears to have spread to the North East as well.
The Oxford MA
That argument doesn't work when you cant reliably distribute and run your own clients and given that they (Signal) have hidden updates for over a year to work on mobilecoin in the dark (proving their willingness and ability to do this) it leaves little left for that argument; theres also a bunch of other stuff but that is meaningless to get into. The point is that Signal mostly also boils down to: “trust us”.

On the other hand, while you are totally right about Telegram being quite a bit “trust us”; but they have better UX and are not at all hostile to third party clients and alternative implementations of their “secure” messaging protocol.

Which is also the subject of a lot of controversy of course, because (*puts on tinfoil hat*) it was originally handrolled and not US cryptographer approved.

"Consent"
I have not kept up with GPT architecture, other than noticing that other people have noticed that T=0 is clearly not deterministic for these things (and that that results from a bug, not an intentional feature). This much was obvious when the supposedly genius idiots rolled out GPT-3. It's wonderful to see the whole world bend over and just take it up the ass from a bunch of people who can't figure out why their code can't produce the same result twice; but it's quite natural for there to be a big cheerleading section on HN for any new technology that's (1) brilliant in theory, (2) deeply anti-human in practice, and (3) just needs a couple more revisions before it "fixes" a bunch of stuff.

The ChatGPT UI is indeed a wildcard. But it is irrelevant here because according to the github repo this page queries the API and OpenAI guarantees it doesn't change models with version number information (like gpt-4-0613, which is mentioned in the latest images). So this "experiment" would make a lot more sense if it was only run once every few months when the API actually offers new model versions and then generate a bunch of images for every model, instead of generating one single image every day (which is meaningless due to non-deterministic noise, even if the model had somehow changed since yesterday). That is also how it was done in the original study during the development of GPT4. I don't know how this experiment came up with its logic, unless they had a gross misunderstanding about how these models actually work (which admittedly seems common among tech interested folks here).

> the fudge-factor physicists call Dark Matter/Energy

Those are two very different fudge factors (as in, those hypotheses are distinct; the observations they attempt to explain may turn out to have a single cause instead, but we don't yet know)

> Would be nice to see it destroyed

If you don't like fudge-factors, then you probably won't like MOND (the sort of hypothesis TFA is about).

Edit: MOND theories put a fudge-factor "a₀" in their acceleration calculation; the value of a₀ is chosen such that (a) it is small enough to make no measurable difference from standard gravity in any existing observations; and (b) it can curve-fit observations of charged matter distribution to galactic rotation curves.

I don’t know what you mean by manual memory management. Memory management in rust is fully automated. The only manual thing is if you want to annotate lifetimes to ensure memory is available past implicit lifetimes, or if the line time of something can’t be automatically derived. Borrow semantics are not manual memory management. You don’t directly control when memory is freed in rust, but because it’s (often) stack based it’s usually pretty obvious memory is freed when the stack is unwound.

I feel like you’re confusing rust with c/c++ in this discussion.

I don’t find go faster to write in at all. I feel like they’re about the same, but I find go package management to be a mess and prefer cargo. Rust however does require you to be more aware of memory lifetime and ownership, and provides generally better performance in exchange.
SEO won a long time ago. Google fights a hopeless war against legions of soulless locusts.

For all its resources it’s incapable of improving the situation. Since it only understands proxies of quality and truth, and these things can be manufactured and industrialized, they are incapable of winning.

Blogspam and fraud consistently outrank the original, and changes to the rules frustrate legitimate sites more than SEO spam. If anything these frequent changes increase the demand for SEO, not make it harder. You just wind up with more.

Until they figure out some kinda digital pesticide for SEO spam, the situation will continue to get worse.
First if all, congrats.

He shows the git patch fix delivered by AMD engineers. The root cause is not explained and the change itself is about 2-3 SLoC — his frustration, what you call meltdown, is not about the interaction with AMD rather how troublesome it was to get AMD’s demo scripts to run on AMD’s chips.
Started reading the article, immediately thought of a relative simple solution:

- the most important thing is: is a bottom layer ‘solid’. So looking from above seems the most obvious

- you could use e.g. numbers to indicate height, so a 3 is ‘three up’, a ‘1’ is one up, and a ‘0’ is: you are at the bottom.

- and use colours to indicate ‘holes below’ (e.g. blue is one hole, green 2, and red 3).

The blocks that are falling could be shown in multiple views, e.g. from above, from the front and from the right (with e.g. again numbers saying how ‘high’ it is.

You would not see the complete picture, but surely when you play from the start you would get a good mental picture from where the holes are, certainly if you played it for some length?

Edit:
A separate view of e.g. the bottom layer or perhaps the two lowest layers could make it completely playable?
What about quicklime (calcium oxide)?

It's used here in Argentina to make pumpkin "sweets". (I'm not sure the correct translation.) It's a lot of 1 inch cubes of pumpkin, boiled for some time in sugar syrup. [1] Without treatment the cubes will disintegrate while boiling. If you put them for one day in water with quicklime, the cubes get a hard wall and they keep their integrity while boiling, but the interior is soft.

Drinking the water with the quicklime is dangerous and it's discarded. Eating directly the quicklime is even worse. But quicklime is useful for cooking.

> Sure they can, e.g. on-time delivery (or even better shipments missing the promised delivery date) is a ratio. Or inventory turn rates, there you actually want people to attack the denominator.

These are good in that they’re directly aligned with business outcomes but you still need sensible judgement in the loop. For example, say there’s an ice storm or heat wave which affects delivery times for a large region – you need someone smart enough to recognize that and not robotically punish people for failing to hit a now-unrealistic goal, or you’re going to see things like people marking orders as canceled or faking deliveries to avoid penalties or losing bonuses.

One example I saw at a large old school vendor was having performance measured directly by units delivered, which might seem reasonable since it’s totally aligned with the company’s interests, except that they were hit by a delay on new CPUs and so most of their customers were waiting for the latest product. Some sales people were penalized and left, and the cagier ones played games having their best clients order the old stuff, never unpack it, and return it on the first day of the next quarter - they got the max internal discount for their troubles so that circus cost way more money than doing nothing would have, but that number was law and none of the senior managers were willing to provide nuance.
