> And we've seen you really can keep a field going this way for a very long time even if the planes never land.

And it's in many places, if not everywhere. People mock the Polynesians for engaging in a Cargo Cult but they don't realize that most countries do that in more "sophisticated" ways.

Think about the big infrastructure projects that some "dictators" do in some countries. It would make more sense for the dictator to just pocket the money, or distribute it equally if he wants to give it up. But these projects and their prevalence suggests another dynamic at play here.
"For apple, if anything breaks you have to buy another one after warranty"

That is not remotely true. If you watched the video he even shows you that apple now has a website where you can purchase the replacement parts. This is actually an improvement, because Apple would not sell you replacement parts for the Pre-M1 MacBooks.

No, compared to a PC laptop it is not as easy to get an out of warranty MacBook repaired. But it is possible.

I think all of us would like to see Apple be more repair friendly. They do seem to be moving in that direction. They now will sell you MacBook and iPhone replacement parts. They also made the iPhone 14 battery replacement easier, you no longer have to remove the screen.
Yeah, the M1 can do one external + the built in (so two)

The M1 Pro can do two external, the M1 Max can do four (three at a higher resolution, one at a lower).

I have a Max with five displays total (including the internal). I suspect with some trickery I could get more than five (some external adapters allow two displays to appear as one larger/higher resolution one. But 34,216,704 pixels should be enough for anyone ;)
All gaming laptops come with a secondary gpu. What i do on mine is a disable the dedicated gpu, enable passthrough, and voila - shitty windows can run virtualised with a dedicated gpu. Takes 5-10 mins to do so. Also if your laptop supports thunderbolt or usb4 then all you need is an egpu. But thats the more pricey solution.

Having said that virgl is pretty darn sweet!
This feels like a logical extension from "monocultures are bad." Like, I get they're useful for us, but we seem to be relearning again and again that the further you get from monoculture the better ecosystems do... And it's like, in the name "ecosystem" it's not "eco-10-plants-that-look-nice-when-lined-up".
This is kind of what Microsoft's COM gives you. You have to write your classes in a particular way but then you get a well-defined API that can be consumed in many languages, including C.
The first reason is I’m actually satisfied with vim’s part of what neovim is, so there’s no reason.

But I tried neovim recently. It had worse support for windows (qt-nvim, iirc). It couldn’t rerender or re-column-count itself on resize and also had few other cosmetic issues that I’ve noted but forgot already. One stupidest thing was you can’t explorer-associate it easily in windows because of how parameters get passed between qt-nvim and a host editor process. I regedit’ed it to a working state after a while, but man.

Otherwise I’d try to side-grade to it, but these issues are complete blockers and it’s a little concerning that they weren’t addressed for so many releases.

Maybe something got fixed since, but I only care enough to check once a year or two.
I'm not smart enough to figure out how this has anything to do with the topic at hand.

You said LLMs produce absolute rubbish always for you. How does humans creating books or masterpieces have any effect on LLM output?

Apologies for not being smart enough to understand you.

> Petrol stations in Europe do not sell grass-fed beef, acai bowls and organic produce.

Honestly can't tell if this is satire or not. To think that you can reduce the food argument to the availability of _grass fed beef_ at a gas station?
Everyone has an axe to grind. In this case the "axe" is trying to avoid the lung cancer, reduced immune system efficacy, reduced cognitive development of air pollution, as well as the environmental damage (which resulting forest fires escalate) from ever increasing temperatures.

Of all the axes needing grinding, this one should get serviced first.

> ... blah blah imperfect data

Sure, the data is imprecise but we are all very sure that "air pollution == very bad". What's your suggestion, doing nothing and letting the problem grow just because there might be an percentage error margin in the numbers for how badly we are screwed?

Doesn't matter if the real numbers are a quarter or 10 times higher, it's horrible compared to the alternatives regardless - unless you are somehow arguing that solar and wind are unknowingly extremely deadly.

(Nuclear is a trickier discussion - the reason it is seen as safer per Wh than even wind despite the horrible incidents is due to the massive power generated by the few hundred reactors in the world, where installing hundreds of thousands of huge windmills make construction and workplace disasters more common and an insignificant cause of death.)

Of course, but even a bare Rails Dockerfile would include much more than this, and pretty much every Rails app built off of this would be including much of the same boilerplate.

See: https://containers.dev

Codespaces is where I use them but it is supported by VS Code and can be used locally or in other scenarios as well. It mainly improves DX over using bare Docker for running your developer inner loop. Yes you can do this yourself using Docker and docker-compose if that is your preference.
> Those who lived there before Columbus.

That's tricky because North America for instance was already half empty by the point Europeans started settling because to old world diseases killing up to 80-90% of the population in many areas.

Without that gaining a foothold would've been much more difficult. It's not obvious the Spanish would've been able to subjugate all of the native civilizations they encountered that 'easily' either. Chances are Mexico etc. would've looked much closer to India or Indonesia for instance.
Websites get redesigned, companies go out of business, etc. It's a nice principle that links should live on forever, but it's not very practical for a decentralized web (which many profess to be in favor of).

What did John Muir do for you to label him a "horrible person"?
How does this reconcile with learning and the internet? Or books? The assumption that someone is using the addictive apps or services is the flaw in your argument.

Same with bars, people can go to a bar not for the purpose of socializing at all. They may simply want to get away from home and be left alone while drinking some beers at the bar. Maybe the in-laws are in town. I do this myself.

Some people don’t need socialization and yet aren’t “loners”, their focus is just elsewhere. Trying to state all humans are social creatures is what a few posts up is about. Not everybody is the same, haven’t we learned that already?
I guess power-draw and clock speed is how we're going to be getting around Moore's law ending for a while... Doesn't feel like the right way forward. Would be cool to do more with less by switching off of x86 optimizations.

On the other hand, maybe it’s unvaccinated younger people getting COVID complications.

Preventing Overload with Graceful Feature Degradation
It's used in industry. Obviously it's not yet comparable to the scale on which C++ is used in industry, but it absolutely is used.

* Amazon S3, Lambda and Fargate backends are written in Rust

* Microsoft Windows is actively shipping Rust code in both the kernel and userspace

* Android also ships Rust, and Google is writing some new components / has rewritten some older components in Rust

* The Linux kernel is getting new drivers written in Rust

* Much of the core infrastructure at Discord and Dropbox is written in Rust

* Cloudflare and Facebook have adopted / are adopting Rust in some of their critical systems

* The Disney+ client application is written in Rust

* Volvo is using Rust in their entertainment system

It's beyond the point where you can consider it an irrelevant internet fad language, or a self-contained bubble. There's shallow but meaningful penetration across a pretty wide swath of industries, including some fairly conservative ones, in places where it is very likely to "stick" for a good long while.

Surely you're not going to argue that Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Facebook, Cloudflare, Disney and Volvo don't have money on the line.
Ask HN: Is Twitter/X showing old posts in profiles for not logged users?

Division of labor is the foundation of civilization.
I don’t think it’s that simple.

Kahneman and Tversky identified several cognitive shortcuts (heuristics) that people use to make judgments and decisions, which can lead to systematic errors (biases)... often leading to irrational decision-making. Their research explains several irrational decision-making processes that we demonstrate while investing (either in private or public markets.)

On why VCS don't sign NDAs – by Luba Lesiva
My best guess is mouse oriented UI and desktop environments targeted at non expert users.

Two-panel file managers solve certain interaction problems in a keyboard driven and terminal based environments. Those aren't as much of a problem in a modern desktop environment where you can open multiple file explorer windows and copy-paste or drag and drop files between windows of your choice. The way graphical desktop environments work there is less ambiguity for selecting source/destination in case of more than 2 windows. Clipboard an drag and drop interfaces allow dragging files even into other other non file explorer programs. For example you can drag a file from file explorer into a video editing or image editing software the same way you would drag it between two file explorer windows.

Clipboard and drag and drop APIs is usually outside the scope of most terminal programs. Working with multiple programs at the same time efficiently requires additional software like screen or tmux. And the means for exchanging information between programs is limited (beside going through file system or chaining list of programs with pipes, but that's a different usage paradigm). Two panel file manger solves both of these issues by drawing two contexts and providing interactions between them in single program.

Two-panel file manager can provide a very effective tool for experts, even in a GUI based systems due to having an interface that's designed with keyboard and efficiency in mind. Which is why I think they are still popular in certain niche. But for a non expert users keyboard driven interfaces can be opaque and hard to discover. Mouse based graphical interfaces are much friendlier for new users and make it easier to discover functionality, even if they are less efficient and require more clicks/key presses for experts.
that's the catch though if it's something I already know then I can already stop when It's bs me but I also don't really need it then.

when I don't know about something then how do I now it's bs me ? double check if work, which mean doing the work the work twice once with the LLM and another with web search.
the problem is that as I could tell from my trials is that these LLMs are very good bullshiters so it make it hard to discern in a fast fashion.

one thing I did find it useful for is asking vague questions and then using the keywords in the response to start my web searchs with.
With only $100 you're basically going to have to win the lottery: get the right symbol (most won't be) at an ideal buy time, and sell at an ideal selling point. Be sure not to go bankrupt or homeless while buying those tickets and waiting for that perfect timing.
Early versions of programming languages, like Ruby.
Your reply is worse than dogmatic. It is an attempt to enforce conformity.
Zoning plays a key role in building because it derisks investing in building capital. If I know that all the parcels around me are residentially zoned then I can build a house with confidence knowing that someone isn’t going to put a fertilizer plant next door.

Obviously some places don’t have it and it works out fine: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Fertilizer_Company_expl...

Getting rid of zoning doesn’t suddenly make more trades. Plumbers, roofers, and electricians are in short supply because the gfc wiped them out.

Why not better, simpler zoning with well understood and simple rules for changing the zoning?
> Most Argentinians

Same applies to the US if we're being fair. However both places were still quite sparsely populated in the late 1800s and the demand for low-skilled labour was significantly higher than now (the situation now is very different).
Yes, it was a mistake. But now these companies have power and the law won't change.
Show HN: ChatGPT Add-In for Outlook
This isn't the kind of attention a (allegedly) journalism outlet benefits from.
As someone else said in another post, unless you like touching your coworkers during meetings then a camera works just fine.

And to jump onto one of your points, Linux is the big elephant in the room. Almost every company uses it yet there’s no office building for Linux HQ where the devs all go and sit to build it.
This looks like it might do.

https://routinehub.co/shortcut/7284/
We've built an addin for Outlook which allows you to seamlessly run ChatGPT on your emails content.

All you need is to bring your own ChatGPT API key.

We have some interesting ideas for how this tool can be used to make email more pleasant to work with; we'd be keen to see if HackerNews can come up with any more.

I'm happy to answer any questions you might have.
If we're being fair it's not like they were ever in a much better state. The explosion in population was an outcome of improved life conditions (mainly access to food and healthcare).
This article is about restrictive residential zoning, not about SimCity still R/C/I zoning.
The podman CLI tool compiled for mac doesn't allow you to run the daemon on macOS natively.

The way podman desktop works includes running a podman daemon by default inside the podman linux VM. That's the daemon I'm talking about.

The docker cli also runs on mac, but the docker daemon doesn't run on macOS directly, but instead as a daemon inside the linux VM.

Hence, in podman desktop on macOS, just like docker desktop on macOS, you have a similar daemon running inside the linux VM that's launched.

Do you understand now?
I’m not across the Microsoft ecosystem but why is it (that people say) it’s so difficult for people to setup their dev environments? Is it something to do with running windows or is it a .net thing?
Follow Japan then https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danchi

Seriously, this problem doesn’t exist in other places. It has been solved 70 years ago in rest of the civilized world.
I actually did find the excess death calculations to be questionable.

The formula for expected deaths I saw used in the media was “the average of the last 5 years of deaths”.

That seems like an incredible oversimplification. Population growth and age demographic trends alone would cause the actual expected deaths to trend upwards over time, and not capturing that would make this formula underestimate expected deaths (and therefore overestimate excess deaths).

I did not see this problem addressed anywhere, did anyone else?
I hope everyone involved in perpetrating this injustice is nailed to the wall.
Did you have a particular example in mind?
Of course a politician would say that.

Well he grew up in poverty so I don’t think it was from the beginning. I do think that he became interested in philanthropy from his thirties onward and I believe he made his first library donation at at 44, but didn’t retire and commit himself to philanthropy full-time until his sixties.
He shouldn't have acquired it in the first place, and appropriately allocated ownership to those doing the work in the first place

The act of accumulating it in the first place is unethical

If you then, on your own WHIM and directed however you and you alone want to, give your money away it's no different than starting yet another "going concern" of people who are now employed to give your money based on how YOU want to spend it

This is a bad and socially destructive pattern
> The future involves far less (legal) travel, not more, as the working class even in the richest countries lose access to cars and air travel.

Yet all recent trends have been going in the exactly opposite direction. Air travel has never been more accessible throughout much of the developed world.
A "greater fool" game doesn't just require fools. In fact it doesn't require any fool at all, and by fool I mean people who really believe into what they are investing on. Only belief in that such fools exist matters.

For people playing the game, the actual value is not the important part, what is important is that they think the hype will continue and that the price will continue to go up. Their intention is to sell just before the hype ends, to profit off the supposed "greater fools". You lose if the "greater fools" you expected are not here.

Scammers trying to outscam each others if you want, not much trust here.

> I have used automatic translation tools to translate documentation and comments in source code

No one has personally hired professional translators to do this, ever. Before automatic translation happened, there were volunteers. Only corporations had the resources to professionally translate documentation.

And if you are a corporation, you cannot rely on automatic translation for these tasks anyway.

Anyway, your examples illustrate situations where we went from no translation or crappy translation, to reasonably useful. That's just not what translators and interpreters do.
I can’t tell if this Max Berger quote is a lament or just unintentionally ironic: “Whatever you want to call my faction—the Bernie wing, the Warren wing, democratic-socialist, social democrat—we would have way less power if Leah didn’t exist.”
The converse is that if your class is just a standard layout object with a trivial destructor, you can expose an equivalent C definition without all the C++ sugar and avoid the forced allocation.

The allocation and the opaque handler can still be useful for ABI stability purposes, but that's true in C++ as well.
That’s a good point, insofar as we should not give people a pass just because they have a sense of unease. But I think the parent comment still stands in that these reactions can be canaries or indications of an unwell society.

In your example, of course, this unwellness itself directly manifests as source of the unease. But follow that pathology one step deeper and perhaps there is insight to be gained?

What I am sure of is that we have left our sociopolitical and socioeconomic systems to their own devices without carefully examining their impacts for a long time now. This has left them rife with technical debt and exploitable bugs that some parasitic elements of society are using automation to aggressively exploit.

I’m not saying that engineering them will have a better outcome, but perhaps if we study them with real rigour it is possible that one day it might.

We would do well to remember that these constructs exist to serve humanity, and not the other way around.
I don't have a deep understanding of physics and would have no chance at understanding the details of this if it was in a traditional academic paper, and not presented so well. This is absolutely fantastic!
The California coast, perhaps, but much of the coast in North America is actually not that nice, is it? At least in the PNW I don’t believe rich people live on the coast (though I have not actually been there to verify).
I suspect that the leaders of the cargo cults were leaders in that society before the "Outside Context Problem" happened, and that the ideas followed by the cult will come from what kind of leader they were. If they were previously a religious leader then the cult would look like a religion.

I think a better example of a cargo cult than bad science is climate change denial. The followers see the potential loss of "cargo" in the form of their current way of life as a problem and the leaders apply the skills that brought them success in politics to that problem. Someone good at reading legal documents is going to think that there is something wrong with scientific papers.

A climate change denial group in the UK [1] rented office space from one of the scientific institutions that used to meet in Carlton House Terrace. The GWPF held meetings where they could talk in a sciency way even though they were not reporting any real science that they had done themselves.

Who is it being preserved for and why? For a select few, as a bragging point? Or for y'know, all of humanity to preserve their heritage?

If knowledge and culture aren't accessible to the vast majority of people, they're not being preserved for humanity. They're locked away from humanity and they might as well be fully gone.
Oh absolutely. One of the lessons of e.g. Montessori education is that treating kids as grownups will lead to them acting as grownups.
