Personally, using GPT4 has been absolutely invaluable to me when attempting to learn. I’m extremely jealous that kids these days have access to tools this powerful.

The problem with these types of learning tools, same as with the Khan Academy one, is that they’re too “safe guarded” for general public release. Obviously needed for a public launch, but giving someone free reign of the models with some prompt teaching and an understanding of hallucinations could help kids learn so much more efficiently in the future.
Thanks, it means what it means, it asserts a #define on clk.c whereby root will be able to do very stupid things with clocks...
What irks me more is that I'll see pins for hotels, restaurants, etc.. but a search won't surface/highlight the pins I'm looking directly at!

Also attempting to search for a property that happens to have "hotel" or "apartment" in their name automatically switches to the stupid hotel finder interface, which only shows hotels that are bookable from online.
It definitely has everything to do with sensible decisions.
AWS ___ ones can only be used with the rest of the AWS ecosystem. Amazon ___ can be used as a standalone service.

Amazon DynamoDB, Amazon S3, Amazon Chime etc. vs AWS CloudFormation, AWS CodeCommit etc.
That's a pretty big problem. There is a large church "camp" near us, "Kamp Kanakuk" that is somewhat notorious for that.

I strongly agree, the dumbness of the Unix pipe is instrumental to its composability. The actual issue is the lack of an agreed-upon standard, default, stable, machine-friendly output format across the "give me a list of x" commands. I can easily imagine a parallel universe where df, ls, find, etc. would output JSON by default, and jq (or some other JSON manipulation utility) would be just as important as the shell itself.
Correct.

The great majority of platform dependent code is video output, keyboard handling, sound and network.

The functions for that that call dos/x86-specific code are neatly separated by the rest in appropriately named files, so it’s really easy to know what you will need to modify, without a million other distractors.
Agreed 1000%. The issue I have is that its a bit of a shame that we don't have current fun platforms apart maybe from embedded (current gpus are closed, cpu and memory are often not a challenge if you are just a little, unless you use it for huge projects). Or am I mussing something ?
“Stroad” is the urbanism aficionado portmanteau of street and road; a common feature in North American urban and suburban design where the speeds, (lack of) curves and lane-count of roads are combined with the traffic lights and access to businesses and homes of streets (and all their attendant car infrastructure).
Abuse, how? What does not abusing it look like? Not using it is not an option either; it would make for very boring containers.
- P-value is the result of a hypothesis test with the question being "is this effect size 0". The p-value is the probability of seeing the observed data under the assumption of the effect being zero.

- The R^2 is a measure of how well the regression model 'explains' the observed data so to speak.

- The effect size is contained in the coefficients assuming near perfect independence between the variables
It's also a CLI, a daemon, a network abstraction, a company… It just doesn't make any sense to try to count how many things "docker" is. It makes sense to ask which "docker" do you mean when you talk about "docker". But since the author doesn't really talk about anything coherent here, it doesn't make sense to ask.
Are YC valuations too high?
Huh, straightforward. So it just becomes the old problem of getting students to do their homework without cheating.

\aside Some exams allow calculators and textbooks, and are really hard. Consider: what would an exam assess, where LLMs were allowed?
There's no startup time overhead now for my stuff as all my web servers, apis, and command line tooling (.Net CLI apps) are built (by the standard dotnet tooling) into cross-platform stand-alone binaries.

They are native code and generally between around 11MB and 20MB depending upon what they do.
It also depends on where this happening. For instance, you don't need a license to drive a car inside your own private propriety. You need a license to drive it on public streets because society needs some assurance that you know what you are doing. So in many cases the laws and restrictions also happen in relation to a given scenario.
Same, I never code personally as much as when I'm in a management position. When coding during the day (which I like very much), I have less side projects or they tend to languish.
Sad to hear of his passing, I remember building my uni project around OpenCyc in my one “Intelligent Systems” class many many years ago. It was a dismal failure as my ambition far exceeded my skills, but it was so enjoyable reading about Cyc and the dedicated work Douglas had put in over such a long time.
Restoring a 45 Year Old Video Game
I agree PDF is not entirely useless. I don't mind it that much for papers, but I don't see how it's any better than responsive formats. It's obviously important for presentations where exact visual relationships between items is fixed, or flyers (things that inherently get published on dead trees—leaving layout to an html rendering engine in that case is not great), or other things like that.

I still don't understand why it needs to look exactly the same. I get that habitually people say "turn to page X and look 2/3 down the page for the line starting "The quick brown fox jumped", but with digital documents that's not in my experience how anything works. You just say "the sentence starting with 'The quick brown fox'", and everyone can search for it in a few seconds.

If an official proceeding needs to be sure everyone's working from the same document, they can distribute, or publish hashes of, an epub or mhtml the same as they can for a pdf. There's no assurance that two pdfs that you think are the same document are actually the same document, any more than two epubs would be.
I think there's a (6) here too.. the terminal app that the shell runs in. I still don't fully understand how the 2 interact, but I've never been quite happy with any terminal I've used and I wish someone would just marry the shell and the terminal so they can have nice rich integrations that aren't limited to text. Like why can't I just pop into a file picker to complete a path if I want to? Why can't I get a drop down of options like in my IDE? Tooltips? Images?
Why do I have to remember what magic keystroke I need to background a process without losing it forever so that I can run another one while I wait?

Thanks for the tip. The map style is very dense but IMHO the best for urban areas.

Some names are only rendered in Czech, and hill shading seems to be available only with an active internet connection. I still prefer the shading of "Bergfex Touren" for mountain sports.
The notable thing here is of course the new HIP backend for Futhark, which turned out to be surprisingly easy to implement and resulted in significant performance improvements in AMD GPU execution, specifically when performing scans.
The library, the café or the debate club maybe.

The café was the first pub-like place where people did mostly not drink alcohol. Reportedly, it was an inportant place for the enlightenment period of history. Let's not oversell HN here, though...
Some measurements: https://youtu.be/CTV-wwszGw8?t=609&feature=shared

The noisiest vehicles in the centre of Copenhagen seem to be diesel delivery vans, so it's a decent improvement as these are swapped for electric ones.
This is a classic example of bandwidth vs. latency.

You can transfer a helluva lot of data after the first byte arrives, but you’ll be waiting for that first byte for a looong time.

It’s unfortunate that the words like “speed” and “fast” are often used without specifying whether that means bandwidth or latency - different scenarios often benefit from one or the other in very disproportionate ways.
Props to you for taking a stand.

I was banned from every mainstream subreddit for criticizing the Covid vaxx. (I wasn’t spamming I just said my opinion when the topic came up)

The people who say free speech is alt-right have bought into the “dangerous speech” narrative of the media and 3-letter agencies. The powerful just don’t want criticism. So they push identity politics - as if your identity is the be all, end all of morality.

Whenever I criticized the vaccine I was called a right-wing nut. I’m not right-wing, I also believe the world is ending from climate change, support Medicare for all and wrote in Andrew Yang in 2020.

They’re just so brainwashed they can’t conceive that you can make arguments about important issues without looking through the frame of how the media set it up… with straw men to say those are the adjacent views of a fascist. So I think the vaxx is unsafe, I must be a fascist. It’s so absurd.

The only way they can maintain this upside down world is with censorship. So once again thanks for taking a stand for free speech. It’s the right thing to do.
I don't really believe it isn't possible to make the relatively small amount necessary to have a stable and useful business. The problem is VC forced drive towards enshitification.
I think that's currently a problem with all isc.sans.edu URLs: https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=sans.edu
Also, with complicated queries or reports, there's quite a big element of "do the results look roughly as I expect?" - e.g does the total income for last month look about right? Then you might do a detailed reconciliation and find out your total is 1% off due to not accounting for refunds and then you go and adjust your query and try again.
Several years ago when I was testing the Apple Maps navigation UI, I started a random navigation trip at home, looked around and tested the UI out without actually driving anywhere. Looked fine until I pressed the power button. Then I found that the Apple Maps hijacked my lock screen to display its own UI. That's the point I noped out of Apple Maps. This is malware-level behavior. No app should be able to override my Lock Screen. Especially not a first-party app because third-party apps are so well sandboxed that they cannot do that. Where are the cries of antitrust?

Apple Maps is malware. Any app that could modify system level behavior such as the Lock Screen is malware. You probably don't agree, but still I will never use it.

I'd suggest to start with at least a brief paragraph on what thenose is, what it's goals are etc. I read your post, and found myself reading the technical workings of something I didn't know anything about.
Maybe her work changed some settings in Windows? From a clean install of Windows I thought Docker Desktop installed fine for me but WSL2 needed me to change some setting.
Seems like the road text still needs some fixing/adjustments, assuming they keep that light-gray blueish road color.

The apple map road color is a lot darker, creating more context. For the google map road color, they'd almost need to use something like a yellow text perhaps.
This is much more digestible. Thank you!
I love this idea, but unless you get non-white immigrant families in there, the food is going to suck. I mean restaurant industry in the US is built on low-paid Mexican workers. How will they be recruited to this town and how can they afford it?
In the end using a car is using a car. It takes an awful lot of energy to build, and then to move, more so often to transport only one or 2 persons, in a very short trip. It needs huge infrastructure that are energetically and financially costly to build and maintain.

All these needs to be cut down and EV won't help us. People need to be able to reach safely schools, workplaces, shops, restaurants by foot or by bike regardless of their age and fitness level.

What we help us is better infrastructure for non motorized vehicles, better public transport (even if they are not financially profitable), walkable spaces, security (with a density of human presence making sure we are safe, not useless cameras), transforming suburbs, commercial and social areas so there is no physical separation anymore between people and where they need/want to go and spend time, effectively bringing back the village/small town paradigm.

EV goes way way way way down the list and we should focus first on EV for public transport and transportation of good rather than personnal toys and vanity possession.
The changes to foliage and general terrain I like.

The updates to roads and streets? Not so much. There is way too much emphasis on streets, distracting you from seeing the labeled places. The streets and highways shouldn't be a city's prominent showcase, the landmarks should.

That second-to-last image of Chicago streets around The Art Institute of Chicago show the lack of contrast between the green of a street and the green of the park - it all just blends in. It was better before, but just barely.
A human is still entering the prompt to generate the possibly copyrighted image/text. I don't think copyright law should care about the implementation. It's ok to copy a style if you use paint brushes or photo shop. But not ok if you use a statistic model?
I'm a paid user of Rider, but mostly use VS Mac as it's faster, cleaner, and more intuitive. Plus (and despite also being a paid user of Goland too) there's something about the JetBrains IDE range's font rendering I've never really liked; it seems somehow not crisp enough. Hard to put into words, though their new UI style is much improved.

As long as VS Mac supports your project types over the last year and a half it has come on hugely. I've no problem switching to VS Code, and I saw this coming a while back, but it's a shame.

I also use Visual Studio on Windows extensively. Whilst it does much more than VS Mac it's uglier and far less reliable, both of which matter to me in quality of life ways.
My dad believes that garlic is the best antibiotic, so he eats a lot whenever he gets sick (he doesn't care if it's a viral infection, because garlic conveniently also boosts the immune system).

Thank goodness garlic is cheap and easily available, and he doesn't fund some bizarre economy by buying rare, weird-looking foodstuffs with purported magical properties.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbo_button

I know the chip was a 66mhz chip. Without the button pressed, it was useless. I also know this was about CPU timing. Having it "on" slowed down the timing. But having it on (to slow the CPU timing) and trying to overclock the CPU (to make it faster), resulted in nothing more than a few fps. After the upgrade to Pentium, it was 60fps.

The turbo button is a 3-pin switch. Some wired it so that "off" was full-speed. Some wired it the other way. I believe mine were wired for "on" = fullspeed.
The article gives an example of how a recruiter is corrupted by metrics, leading to worse outcomes, so they're well aware of the problem you're describing. I imagine Kent Beck would say (and I'd agree with him) that your line of argument won't change anyone's minds, and will just lead you to being excluded from the conversation. There are some situations (and examples are listed in the article) where measurement is necessary, and the best you can do is hope to measure things that give helpful results.
These calls should be automated in most cases [1]. Still an impressive feat, but there is no way they are paying a large number of people to phone through all businesses in the world.

Today I asked ChatGPT to implement an oauth 2.0 token flow for me in bash. I tweaked a few parameters so it’d feed directly from a settings file in the folder I’m running it from. Then I realized we needed it in powershell, I pasted the tweaked script in and said “write this in powershell” and the script just WORKED. It was great. I don’t care about the oauth 2 workflow it’s well documented and implemented in our code in 50 places, I just wanted the script so I can integrate it into some automated testing. It would have taken me probably an hour of messing up syntax in bash and then figuring equivalents in powershell to finish up the script.

My coworkers were absolutely thrilled at my turnaround time. I was thrilled I didn’t have to do this boring task. I saw this as an absolute win.
I find the new map far more cluttered than the old. You don’t want to see a dark grey line for every alleyway and minor path at the high level view. It just looks like a grey mess.
The lack of contrasting colours between the main and minor streets (particularly interstates) is a massive step backwards and makes it far hard to plan your route at a glance.
The fact that the first example has a bug (it doesn't handle file names with spaces correctly) sort of proves the point of the commenter you responded to.

I personally don't use nushell (or another alternative, oil) because bash for scripting and zsh for interactive shell is good enough for me, and compatibility with other people is valuable. However, whenever you start to write slightly complex scripts in bash, you have to think carefully about spaces in file names and other similar problems. Of course, you can argue you should just write those scripts in Python, but shell is a lot quicker to write and would be more elegant if it had fewer footguns and less esoteric syntax.

I don't believe that it's easier to make a threaded hole than a smooth hole. I suspect the issue is that if you're making a threaded hole you simply can't pretend it's good enough so you're forced do it properly in some sense.

You do NOT need this as a hobbyist. I will go as far to say it will be counter productive. Pickup Art of Electronics or the lab manual that comes with it instead.

Well, NYC has about 8.5 million people. I'm from Flanders and we have about 6.5 million people. 8.5 is about the population of Austria or Switzerland.

I think people underestimate how big NYC really is. It is basically a small country.

So yeah, how much funds do the police of Austria or Switzerland get?
Disney has a trademark on Mickey mouse, but that does not mean that they automatically get copyright on all pictures of Mickey Mouse drawn by others (they don't)
Disagree with that, I keep trying it sometimes and it's still inferior in too many ways. It feels like they don't use their own product, which wouldn't come as a surprise.
> When I read comments like this, I assume the person writing it didn't spend much time in conversations on Usenet.

You should not assume, does not lead to good conversation.

I've been nonstop on usenet since the late 80s, still am. I used to run a site for my university. I was a heavy poster and reader through the 90s. My usage volume has decreased, but still sometimes post. Read daily. Usenet rocks. Wish it had more participation, as it used to have. It is so much better than anything else we've come up with.

> you had only Gmail's interface and Gmail threading

Ugh, no, gmail threading is abysmally terrible. Something like trn is far superior.

Tell me how you can do any of these things in a so-called modern forum/chat app:

- Say I want to killfile tptacek? Ok, some apps allow blocking people, HN doesn't.

- Say I want to upscore posts from tptacek that mention crypto but downscore anything that doesn't. Impossible on any "modern" app that I know of.

- Say I want to pipe every post through my custom bayesian scoring filter. Impossible on any "modern" app that I know of.

- Say I want to pipe every post through a custom app that scans for key phrases I want to be alerted on, send those to my email.

I could go on and on. The sites and apps we are forced to use today are lacking 99% of the functionality that was trivially possible back in the 90s.

A problem with the future is that it is hard to predict.

Define whatever format you want, and there's always the possibility of a politician changing what the local time is.

Historically, the offset against UTC has changed by a few minutes, hours, or days. Is daylight savings used? When? It is not even certain that it is the same calendar that is used, or that there are 24 hours per day, when the day starts, which months there are, or which month is the first of the year.

If the time zone changes in the future, so that the specified local time no longer corresponds to the same time in UTC, then the time of the event has changed, even if the organizer still specifies 6 pm.
