There were way more places to hangout in the 1990s. Gentrification wasn't full tilt so rents were subdued. Record stores, book stores, video stores, arcades, coffeeshops where socializing not work was the norm. Movie theater going was different -- no phones. Teenagers weren't chased out of the malls.

I feel like a common refactor in a large project might be a complete redefinition of a model layer exposed via a bunch of structs.

How does immutability or patter matching save me from runtime errors caused by changing the fields or types inside a struct? Wouldn’t the pattern matching just fail and go down the wrong code path since it was matching for the old pattern?

I feel like immutability is great, pattern matching is great, but static typing is also great and there is no reason why it can’t happily live along side the other two.
I definitely try and be mindful about when I'm pulling out a camera or my phone to record versus being in the moment, but I do know in my family we tend to look at the stuff we record pretty often. Just about every other night before we go to bed one of the kids is saying "I want to look at pictures", aka lets go flip through some random spots in our lives and relive those memories together for ten minutes as we wind down in the evening.

I'm sorry, man. This is Stockholm Syndrome.

The 3d capture and the wearable finger thing could have been a software update.

I like the phrase ‘shocked pikachu’, I’m definitely borrowing that some time. ;)

Yeah it could be that expectations have gotten lazy. It was always the case that you get out what you put in, so if people are coasting more, then outcomes probably reflect that.

The Fed’s paper does say that the income premium for college degree remains relatively robust, as it always has. The part that they call out as changing over time is the relative savings the college educated have by the time they retire. They don’t know why though, and spending and savings habits might be changing, so the wealth premium going down might not indicate that college is less special.
Still using an SE 2016 because it has the perfect size and still works fine. I would happily buy a new version if it would come with usb C and have a similar size, but I don’t hold my breath. Small phones don’t seem that popular :(
They had to cut the Mini line because it was bankrupting the company. It's not like Apple can afford to have a product that only sells a few hundred thousands units a year, are you kidding?

Exactly, thus you can simply integrate over a longer time span.

But if you want to increase the acceleration you need traction, your tyres need to be glued to the asphalt. Since you don't have aerodynamic pressure at those speeds you need to suck the vehicle to the ground.
The linked paper made sense once I realized mg is not milligrams. You sound like a former academic like me. All those papers/citations were so important (publish or perish), but now you just have to get things done, not so much writing.
I like USB-C, but do I want to spend $800 for USB-C? Probably not.
If your house actually has significant eigenfrequencies built in, I would think you could get those issues at many different fan frequencies, or even from other sources of vibration, like a washing machine's dryer program. Or by watching a movie or listening to music.

I would think someone with the right math skills would be able to build something like a base trap to absorb most of the energy in those frequency bands, though.
Maybe having a game engine that is universal for mobile, console, and PC is the problem. I'm not interested in playing mobile or console games or the type of gameplay they encourage. I'd like a PC game engine for PC games.
Accepting the wholesale decimation of the entertainment system by indirect copyright infringement is a pretty big issue.
My last two iPhones have been the SE model and I know a number of friends who have one. The previous smaller iPhone SE (2016) was a lovely phone and still getting updates.
Suddenly I remember a Top Gear episode where Nick Mason drops off his F1 (maybe it was a Ferrari Enzo?) at the test track, then his personal helicopter lands on the strip, picks him up, and flies him out of the scene, all while "Money" by Pink Floyd plays in the background.
They allow bi-directional satellite communication with rescue team, 29 hours of continuous video playback, just announced 3d photos coming later this year.

The original iPhone SE to the iPhone 12 mini was quite the upgrade for me to be honest.

I'm sorry, but what examples could you possibly want that the official documentation doesn't make clear? It's written as concisely as can be, describing the possible inputs and the expected outputs of the particular function, no? I don't see how sifting through tens of lines explaining what the docs say in two short sentences is preferable.

Even in a hypothetical world where you have lots of money, you don't get to boss people around. VALVe would have to pay every single developer their perceived linux development costs for every game, just to port them to linux. Plus additional money on top to make it worth considering, since with near-zero linux gamers there's no profit to be had.

It's a really stupid move to simply throw money at someone to do something which they don't have any other reason to do. They'll charge as much as you're willing to pay them and do the bare minimum the contract allows. Let's not forget that stadia was a massive failure that burned unthinkable amounts of cash to produce *absolutely nothing.*

Tools? Talent? Enablers with *zero value.* You don't need the extra tools/talent if you simply ignore linux.

WINE, by comparison, is a fixed cost that doesn't depend on the number of games it enables. It also doesn't require buy-in from *anybody* outside VALVe. With zero outside help from gamedevs VALVe now has a linux gaming device that's sold like hotcakes and comes with thousands of games.

In your world they'd be several million in the hole, have maybe a few dozen low-effort linux ports for all that cash, and the steam deck would be the same gameless failure the steam machines were ten years prior.

I read your post all right. It's just really naive.
The dream programming language? Lobster [video]
That's fine for a hobby; specifically a hobby where you plan to spend 90% of your available time reimplimenting crappy equivalents to things you get on day one of using an engine. In other words, a hobby project where the point is the exercise and has no need to actually ship.

Just pray that you're never employed to be the #2 developer to someone who built their own game without an engine. "Why would there be documentation? Just follow my inner voice."
Sounds like they are gatekeeping to me. Anyone can make vodka and sell it as what ever brand they want. Sounds like these guys don’t want anyone making Parmasan cheese which is a type of cheese not a brand. Why can’t someone make Ben or Jerry’s Parmesan cheese? If it tastes better then the original stuff then so be it let the market decide - or are they a cartel controlling who sells what by means of coercion and laws stacked against anyone who tries to enter the market?
It is strange to see that sentiment on HN, given the context: this is what commonly happens to mainstream tech.

The desktop PC has been in that boring mode for 15 years or more now. With small, incremental improvements, if you're lucky.

DDR5 instead of DDR4. A 4tb HD instead of a 1tb HD. A faster SSD. A 25% faster processor. etc

Why? That would constrain Apple’s API design to only that expressible in the common subset of languages developers might realistically want to use.
Switching to Hatch – Oliver Andrich
I have a 4 year old phone and I don't see anything worth upgrading. USB-C, yay! But I already have a Lightning cable at home, is that worth hundreds of dollars?
You think a user's ability to have a choice in where their content comes from is censorship? Do you think the block feature on Twitter is censorship as well?

HN is not an "everything goes" platform, it has specific guidelines and policies designed to drive a higher quality conversation and higher quality sources of information, which is one of the reasons it stands out as a good aggregator for me. And I'm of the opinion that UK tabloid spam doesn't meet the criteria, not because of their political bent (I don't know what it is *), but because of their consistently wobbly and expedient relationship with the truth when it happens to be incompatible with their business model.

* I'm guessing faux conservative, since at least one of them is owned by Rupert Murdoch, same owner of the famously high quality Fox News who just lost a high profile $787.5 million defamation lawsuit for false reporting on voting machines.
Are you saying that in 2023 that the device is not someone's personal computer because of semantics rather than it is what it is? There are so many people where their only form of compute at home is their device(s). In what way is a mobile device not considered a computer? It just happens to have an extra radio device and a phone app. What can a person with only a phone not do in your opinion that this preconceived notion in form factor of a personal computer cannot do?
> Small ephemeral objects have the allocation costs closer to C-style stack-allocation than heap allocation in most cases (due to TLAB etc.)

so, I have some code with one loop, which reads strings from file and does some computations, when I add single "new SomeSmallObj()" there which I would allocate on stack in C, it starts working 2 times slower. How can I debug/reason/improve this case?..
They put USB 2.0 just to save a feature to include in another future release. Iphone 20: now with USB 3.0!

And the raspberry pi has USB 3.0 for god's sake! It's not a matter of a dedicated processor block on the chip.

I don't understand what you're trying to say ?

From what I've read 4090 should blow A100 away if you can fit within 22GB VRAM, which a 7B model should comfortably.

And the latency (along with variability and availability) on OpenAI API is terrible because of the load they are getting.

Yes, xbill and tuxracer are my favorite games too.
Artists are scared. We saw autotune caused some controversy. What happens when an artist releases ai voice songs themselves? What about an artist who loses her voice and then releases ai voice songs, is it real then?

I think a person or artist should own their voice, but what is the threshold for an altered ones that is different? And for 'real' human voices someone can sing and sound just like you, that's not a crime. Would it be the same for an ai-generated voice, anyone can copy any of them?

With the troubling to me decision that you can't copyright ai generated images, it feels natural to me that you could probably not copyright / control ai generated voices the same way. This is a mess, then I could take my ai generated video and voices of presidential candidates, politicians and they can't stop me maybe, because it's all got that magic adjective "ai" in front of it.

I will politely express dissent, if that is ok. Not to be a grinch about it, because other people using it does me no harm.

It's hard to even formulate exactly why the whole !Achievements! thing in gaming rubs me the wrong way. I guess it's a mix of several factors, centred around arguably picky purism (e.g. 'a games designed balance includes the inbuilt reward system'), and also around a worldview preference for (some) humility in life, which is somewhat an antithesis of constantly-blaring "Wow! You Just Did This! Congratulations!" messaging/reassurance - a thing I don't put great value upon, in my worldview. Not in that outward manner, at least.

I hope I've at least partially explained my dissenting viewpoint. As I said, this existing does me no harm as such, and I have no beef with it at all, except in personal preference, and insofar as casual discussion has filled these spare moments.

I generally agree, but if this was an accessibility feature that was not fully-baked at launch, I could see them improving it quietly on all devices.
Founder of Replicate here. It's early indeed.

OpenAI aren't doing anything magic. We're optimizing Llama inference at the moment and it looks like we'll be able to roughly match GPT 3.5's price for Llama 2 70B.

Running a fine-tuned GPT-3.5 is surprisingly expensive. That's where using Llama makes a ton of sense. Once we’ve optimized inference, it’ll be much cheaper to run a fine-tuned Llama.
What’s hostile about trying to provide the best possible APIs for a platform according to the vision of the people creating those APIs?
C# has a pretty good FFI system that can call into C++ code. Unity itself does that, after all, it's not entirely written in C#
The reason for USB-C was to adhere to a common standard. Getting rid of the port entirely and depending on a MagSafe charger is just the same as insisting on lightning, and you would have to buy special cables or devices for it.

That wouldn't pass muster in the regulation.
Aren't electric cars bound to beat any dragster car eventually? You get max torque instantly.
> I'm not sure feature withholding has traditionally worked out well in the developer space.

I think it's worked out well for Sidekiq (https://sidekiq.org). I really like their model of layering valuable features between the OSS / Pro / Enterprise licenses.

The trick is you have to do that very early on. Nerfing your open source offering by making some existing features paid-only is always going to get some backlash.
Plug in, move as far away as possible, turn port away from direction of the wall outlet, to use it. Bonus points for also resting it on the bent-at-the-port cable. Yep, that’s the maneuver my family members use to ruin all our cables. Similar with laptop and tablet power cables—get far from the outlet so the cable’s under tension, turn device so port’s not facing the outlet.
You seem to be mixing inflation of the money supply with inflation of the value of money. There is strong causality there, but it isn't the only cause. Considering the money supply is the primary cause we have control over, going back to the gold standard creates greater risk of other causes like supply or demand shocks harming the economy as we would no longer be able to nudge inflation in the desired direction to counteract those other causes.

And if the primary remaining benefit of the gold standard is to rein in government spending, I would simply argue there are other ways to do that. It seems like throwing the baby out with the bath water to give up control of monetary policy in order to better control fiscal policy.
I don't understand; how is selling a console at a loss "rent-seeking"?
The changes between iPhone generations and phones in general used to be huge and always cause for excitement. IMO, it's a sign of maturity and welcome that phones are now making steady progress instead of frequent paradigm shifts. It felt like electric cars were in a similar state till quite recently where it felt like anything you buy will be quite outdated next year which is bad for a huge investment.
funny how first ever 3nm cpu, ray tracing and console grade games on smartphone, titanium case and state of the art new camera crammed in thinnest case found no excitement on tech forum, but physically inferior usb-c that causing all kinds of hardware problems considered worthy.
Well, now you can swap iphones as often as android due to broken connector. Or buy apple care and off warranty repairs from Apple. Another hundred millions for Apple, thanks EU!

I don't agree with their conclusion, but I don't think this is a good corollary either: Unity and co are providing an immense amount of value, a hell of a lot more than giving people a nail gun.

At the end of the day what I don't get is all the hypotheticals based on if you release a paid game that does insanely well on the personal plan.

If you have 2 million installs and make 2 million dollars, Unity is taking 50k + 185 and Unreal is taking 60k. Considering the mobile scene and what Unity offers for monetization realistically they're positioned to offer a lot more than 10k in value to you.
The first reference is to an attack from 2015 that was fixed. So wording is important here. What is meant is that TOR has been broken in the past.
I'm not saying these are good or bad. But I note that every time a company becomes "hot", people start mindlessly copying its quirks, as if those are the things that make the company. They might be, or they might not.

Reminds me of a friend who didn't wear socks because Einstein didn't wear socks. The implication being "he doesn't wear socks and he's smart, so if I don't wear socks I'll be closer to being as smart as Einstein". Ok, we were like 8 years old, but still.

> specific case law which cemented this fact. Maybe it was Ford himself? The details escape me, but afterwards, companies were forced to prioritize shareholders above all else.

I think there was a thread (don't recall if I saw it on HN or reddit). Someone said Dodge brothers (?) sued Ford (?) because Ford was trying to give it's employee raises (?) or reducing their working hours (?).

> The marketing all depicts people 20 years younger than me horsing around taking selfies, people who, I suppose, care about things I don't. I didn't even recognize any of the music. I'm a boring, frugal, old white guy, who uses his phone as a tool, not as a lifestyle, and my wallet is apparently not interesting to Apple. Sad to be left behind.

Today a company announced a marginally better product to remain competitive with it's competitors. When you need to buy a new phone, Apple is hoping that they've made the n+1 (or the n, or n-1) version that you will prefer to buy.

You haven't been "left behind" because a company made an ad with young people in it.
>Take 15% of the students out of a class and you get 15% less income, but you still need the same number of teachers, admins, building costs, etc.

Those should scale somewhat linearly too though. Consolidate classrooms to keep the same student-to-teacher ratio and you'll need less teachers. Less teachers means less administration. Less children means less buildings, etc.

There's so much dead weight in administration that can be cut. This may force the hand.
