Cant talk about Hungary but in Austria the reason is the incredibly broad and untargeted financial assistance for everybody because of the energy crisis and covid.

The reason for this is technical incompetence and cowardice of the government. They could not have done something better even if they wanted and they fear the voters far too much to let some hurt go through the system.

I am no rich antigovernment libertarian but there can be no surprise that all those measures

Zoomers cant torrent and they are too poor for streaming and they dont know there are free streaming sites based on http protocol. They seem to be mentally deficient as a generation.

I say this as zoomers are the consumers of TikTok.
I know what you mean. I feel like the term "execution environment" better describes it, but "runtime" has historical momentum in the JS world (I think), so changing it might cause other confusion. I think (probably) you've been doing your JS/TS in a "runtime" but that was probably either a.) the browser, or b.) Node.js.

In the (pretty weird, IMHO) JS world, this notion of "runtime" amounts largely to what magical global variables are available. And then, what language features are available.

Deno (properly, IMLHO) hides most of its "nonstandard" features behind one magic global variable: Deno. The rest of what it offers is "standard" which Deno (and all sane persons IMNSHO) interprets as "what the browser supports".

Even that's fucked, in JS-world, because there are a bunch of browsers, and each one of them is like "yea woo I love standards, but fuck that standard". But browsers have a standard, more or less, it's just that all browsers implement only a subset of it. Still, to me, that's "the standard".

So Deno implements its own subset of that standard (but they seem to try hard to implement as much as possible), and then it adds its own "Deno" global object for everything else (like local filesystem access, key-value database, etc that browsers don't support).

An execution environment like Node hasn't traditionally prioritized compatibility with "the browser" and so instead it offers a bunch of top-level built-in things like "fs" or whatever, that you "require()" and then you can use them. And standard things that exist in al(most al)l browsers, like TextEncoder or BroadcastChannel or many other things, don't exist in Node. So one nice thing about Deno is that almost all the code you write for Deno will also work in a browser (unless you use "Deno.launchDroneAndFetchCoffee()" or whatever.
It massively disadvantages the company. Why pay for software to be built that can just be taken by your software engineers, who form a new company and run a competing product?
Building new inventory and making housing more affordable would dissuade individuals from buying new homes?
It's measuring output of EM radiation at radio frequencies! EM radiation heats body tissues and causes heating in the body when EM radiation passes through the body tissues. Nobody cares about "heat dissipation" from the battery or CPU; if the phone gets too hot then you don't touch it. Rocket science.
> There is little difference between the iPhones 11 to 15 for normal consumers.

Nope. The improvements in camera and what it offers are noticeable, especially for low light photography as well as video quality and types. Some examples: night mode, portrait mode, cinematic mode, etc. Normal customers do care for or are impressed such things. The difference from one year’s phone to the next year’s may or may not be significant, but if you’re looking from iPhone 11 to iPhone 15, there is a really huge difference.

>> In 2023 I still need two extra terminals for vim and for bash. And text selection is mouse-only.

Terminal multiplexers like tmux, GNU screen, and others allow for keyboard-based text selection and copy / paste.

Many advanced editors like VS Code, Emacs, and other have built-in terminals and keyboard commands to select, copy, and paste text.

Ah, yeah. If you go through the code there, Bryan had to change that file in quite a few places to implement crouch sliding.

Nick Maggoire is an animator. Super nice guy. No inside voice at all. I shared an office with him for a while :) I haven't kept up with him, but after Q4 he left for Valve where he's been ever since, it seems.

That comment strongly suggests to me that Nick did the animations for players crouch sliding. Or, that's my hunch anyway.
There's nothing particular to philosophy here.

"Is this principle or opportunism?" is an extremely pertinent thing to ask when confronting any kind of proposal or plea. In other words, does the person really believe in this on its merits, or have they ran the simulation in their heads, taken note of where that would put them, and are now pushing the idea that would get them there?

For example, an ardent supporter of tax reform who strenuously argues that the cutoff should be such-and-such is someone who should be paid much more attention to if they're advocating to increase taxes on the rich in such a way that it results in their paying more, over the rich person who argues we shouldn't be taxing the rich.

Not completely unrelated: In the bad days of the late aughts when software designers were beginning to be deified and given way too much inscrutable power to make dubious decisions, I came up with a simple litmus test that could be applied to determine whether one's stated justification was horseshit* or not: it's to ask them, "In all your time as a designer where you have justified your decisions on the basis that the new way is better for the userbase as a whole—and so individuals who don't like the new defaults need to sacrifice for the greater good—are there any instances where you have undertaken a change where the result was you being among those in that instance who were negatively impacted by the change?"

In Switzerland such pricing tricks would be somewhat expected since it's not an EU member meaning it's isolated and less impacted by the free market pressures and competition from the union.

Adam Jacob, Chef, and the Search for Self in Software
For every type of projects I'm involved, I choose Go as the backend and put maximum of business rules there to help me manage changes. Go standard library is sufficient and robust for many (all) cases I faced : http handlers, templates, concurrency...

If a web frontend is needed, I'll take svelte (not svelte kit) to code independente components that talk to the backend. I'll code there only interface logic (no control, no calculation, etc...)
Indeed it is. Czech Republic too, including e-commerce sites.
Yes it can hurt reputation and torpedo open rates if a sender receives consistent spam complaints over a sustained period of time. I’ve seen it happen in real time with a client who claimed their leads were warm/opt-in when in fact they were not all. Open rates went from 38-40% to under 7% within a few hours. So the spam button is effective, that’s why it’s important to only email warm/opt-in contacts for bulk email, send engaging content and make it easy to unsubscribe.
The retailers have been questioned regularly why they overcharge in Austria compared to Germany, and they never cited extra wages(lower than Germany FYI), business or tax overhead as the reason, but rather beat it around the bush saying "we're only charging what the market will bare and this is what the Austrian market bares", basically admitting they're screwing you and getting away with it, especially that they often sell stuff made in Austria cheaper in Germany.
The best looking HN android app in my opinion. I just wish it was still being developed. Mostly because of the bug where the comments flicker wildly when you open a thread with lots of comments.

The algorithm is described in more details in https://academic.oup.com/comjnl/article/14/3/317/420539?logi... (around page 323, page 318, ..)

I haven't thought about it at all, but isn't it somewhat similar to Newton Raphson, in how it approximates a first reciprocal (here with a table), and then converges on better estimates in a few iterations?

Arguably the method for converging looks like it could be different at first glance. You could add it per WP:BOLD and see if anyone objects, the descriptions above are good enough to cite, such that there's no original work in describing the algorithm
I never said nobody tried price fixing in Germany, but when it comes to consumer pricing in retail, my take is that Germany has a bigger market with more competition meaning the retailers can stomach increased competition and lower margins making it up in sheer volume. Smaller countries like Austria have much less competition, less volume sales, meaning more space for monopolies to form to charge higher prices.

Sometimes it's not an option. I spent too many hours trying to figure out why some Android apps didn't want to talk with a service I self-hosted. They just ignored my Root CA cert installed on the phone.
Some commenters here are totally missing the purpose of the "Show HN" section!

The main point of adding top-level comments to posts of this type is to provide feedback, or more precisely, constructive criticism. This allows the poster to see his product/project/app/site through others' eyes, which greatly helps him improve the product and discover bugs that are not visible at development time.

Having comments such as "nice", "good work" or "great app" does not help the developer, in any way, improve the app or see it from another angle (The Mom Test).

Also, reading comments that say, "I use the X app instead; it is better, and..." is killing me! Yes, personally, I use Materialistic, Harmonic, and Gilder for Android, and I use HACK and Octal for iPhone, but mentioning them here doesn't add any value except if you propose a killer feature that they already have and you'd like the developer to implement.

Anyways, I always salute, encourage, and upvote side projects like this that are related to HackerNews and below are a few critics that might help the developer make the app better:

The biggest missing feature here that is already supported in all the other apps I've been using is the in-app browser and the comments' section. Clicking on any story would trigger the external default browser to view the page. Also, trying to access the comments would take you to "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=xyz" which ruins the user experience.

The app is missing the "Show HN" and "Ask HN" sections, just to name a few.

At any given time, I cannot tell what theme the app is already in because the *themes* list does not have the currently applied theme *highlighted*.

Since you've already built some widgets, it would be of great value if you could build another *profile* widget where users can see their *karma* being updated regularly without having to open the app or access the HN website.

That was my two cents.

Good work so far, especially the "widgets" part. I wish you the best of luck.

I apologize to other commenters if I've been rude. For me, that was.. "something needs to be said".

Peace!
Why buy now when prices will be lower in six months, or a year from now.

Why develop new housing blocks (as a private developer) if it is a depreciating asset.
And here we see one of the many value propositions of cryptocurrency. I know what you're saying is false, for things like ed25519 signatures, and for sha256, sha512, because there is a multi-hundred billion dollar honey pot for anyone who can break those.

Those constructs are very likely to be safe.

It isn't enough, in my opinion, to just have mathematical proofs of safety because reading and understanding those proofs demands trust in an authority on them. To get the knowledge necessary to, without a doubt, verify the proof is not commonly accessible.

But people can hold a cryptocurrency for years and say "well, it's still there and spendable". It is an easy, easy target were that not the case. The Satoshi stash is a honeypot for when things break. Countless lost wallets are the honeypot for when things break. This is easy to audit and verify.

Then, we can know more expansive privacy crypto is functional based upon its availability to turn into USD. Can you turn Monero into USD on any regulated exchanges? You cannot. Because it protects your privacy. Can you store value in Monero long term? You can. This means it is very likely that the slew of crypto constructs involved in protecting privacy are functional, and that the crypto involved with creating, storing, and transferring value is functional.

Cryptocurrencies act as a real world validation mechanism for the active security auditing of these constructs. I would be hard pressed to use any crypto not used by a cryptocurrency with a market cap of at least $1 billion.
Well if that were the situation for all companies, the answer to why pay is the same as it is now - even if it doesn't provide so much of a moat, they have a business need for certain code so they pay in order to have and run that code.

(I'm not sure if it would be better or worse myself, I suspect it might not make much of a difference when everything balances out.)
Lovely article pointing out the waste generated from reading too much but doing little with it
The opposite of aristocracy's "rule by the best," is kakistocracy's "rule by the worst," which is proabably how most empires and civilizations end. The thing about being an aristocrat is it isn't enough to be noble, you have to prevail, which is the "-crat" part.

A lot of what happened appears to be people solving for the -cracy part, and when you have that, who cares what kind of -crat others think you are. In that view, power is its own justification and end, and an aristocracy of occupiers is a contradiction.

Nobility is still possible in a kakistocracy where there is the possibility of some freedom and dissent, but I think what defined the dystopias of the 20th century was that the societies were so deeply compromised that even individual dignity was almost impossible. For a consensus to emerge that someone had any dignity at all made them an immediate target because it reminded others that they were reduced to crabs in a bucket, and so they policed themselves.

Jefferson's natural aristocracy was an ideal that encouraged people to have dignity and develop nobility, with the hope that they can prevail in their own governments - and establish an aristocracy that has the legitimacy of popular desire. It's pretty far off today, but it's a useful reference point for what's possible. The foundation for that dignity was the American concept that you can achieve dignity by taking liberty and preserving it.

We get concerned today about efforts to crush dissent, but without understanding why it's so important to the people doing it. The reason they crush dissent is to liquidate any dignity that could yield a consensus of nobility that stands as a counter-example to their undesirability and illigitimacy. Nobility acts as a waypoint and ideal that reveals and coordinates honest desire in others. This is the thing tyrants and technocrats hate and fear the most because their whole understanding of winning is when they prevail over the desires of others. It's a kind of sickness, but unless you can choose some individual dignity that yields nobility and organize to establish a legitimate and desirable aristocracy, you get the government you deserve. I still think there is the possibility of a natural aristocracy, but they've got a very steep climb ahead of them.

Activists Have One Simple Goal: Abolish the Cruise Industry
I lost countless hours debugging this, finally I came to the conclusion it must be unintentional because:

1. It's undocumented. None of the regular rate limit responses are returned.
2. You're charged for the full generation length. So if the output takes 10 minutes to generate, that's what you'll pay for (despite only getting half back).
3. It defeats the point of the larger context limit models. Why offer a 32K model if it fails after ~6K tokens?
4. The server response doesn't include any error codes or message, it simply terminates unexpectedly. Hit any of the actual rate limits, and you get told about it.

I'd expect to be able to generate output until the model reaches its context limit, or a stop sequence is detected, or I hit an actual documented rate limit.

We're paying for these requests in full. We should get the full response back!
that is not how socialism is defined.
That explains why Good Old Games has that display for games that are "on sale". Does Steam honor that requirement?
Nowhere. The release of iOS 17 will support iPhone XR/XS, which is one generation older than iPhone 11. GP probably means iPhone 11 will get iOS 18 next year and no more OS upgrades after that (based on the fact that iPhone X is not getting iOS 17, iPhone XS may not get iOS 18, and so on).

While Apple does not guarantee or publish a guarantee about how many years of major OS versions and security updates iPhones will get, it’s typically been about six or seven years of major OS version upgrades (from original device release) and another two or more years of security updates. The iPhone 11 was released in 2019 with iOS 13. When it’ll stop getting a new iOS version is up to Apple.
tmux does this too if you use buffers. Check out zellij. If using a multiplexer is not for you and you're all in a graphical environment, I believe you might find kitty worth a closer look.

Interprocess communication is done via Broadcast channel. It is simpler I think to have one iframe per process. Then it can support pthread
Simple rules aren't very feasible though, laws need to be well defined and the sheer scale of societies today makes that anything but simple.

I'd argue that's the main reason for not making a law though, if it's too complicated for the average person to read and understand where the line is drawn then we shouldn't draw it.
The supply for renters are large apartment buildings while the supply for buyers are single family homes. Some major caveats to this model, like condos. Would be interested to see condo prices during this timeframe.
Nope. Socialism is collective ownership of means of production, sorry. Words have meanings.
I don't think a project shouldn't get stars/attention just because it is simple or lower quality AT THE MOMENT. Open source can benefit as much as normal products from a lean launch, prototypes, MVPs. Make it work, make it right, make it fast. It takes time.

The training data of written content, no matter the sources, will always be biased in one way: it doesn't contain thoughts people kept to themselves.

Example 1: Mr. X is very popular author among a small group, who chat daily about it on various websites. Outside of that group, many people know about Mr. X but don't care much about his works. So the majority of content about Mr. X is positive, even though the majority of opinions are ambivalent.

Example 2: Somebody asks for help on StackOverflow. Two replies offer different answers, A and B. So the answers seem like they'd have equal value. If 90% of people think A is the right answer, the written content wouldn't reflect that, because those people won't write duplicate answers.

I'm sure there are ways to account for these examples. Assigning different "weights" to content sources could help with #1, and feedback mechanisms like upvotes could help with #2. But I doubt those fixes would cover all the problems with the bias against thoughts that people never shared.
There seems to be a pretty big difference in business logic and requirements between a photo sharing app and one that moves or houses people.

I've tried making manual requests without an SDK, exactly the same thing happens. Even when you don't use streaming (wait for the full response), it still occurs.

Whilst the bug is API-specific, there's no other way to report this, and that issue is the only place I've found anyone discussing this.

I contacted OpenAI support about it, waited several weeks, and just got a generic useless autoreply back.

Definitely an API fault, but that library issue is the only place anyone's discussing it so far. OpenAI support were no help, I waited several weeks and they just sent back an autoreply linking to their docs.
Palantir found a niche in the Pentagon during the GWOT, by making it easier to justify killing people halfway around the world, though tenuous relationships (and concomitant pretty pictures) to Al Qaeda. Despite a decade+ of flopping around in the market, it has failed to find success outside its niche. Its cofounders nevertheless continue to evangelize their dark enlightenment ideals — Jefferson? really? a man with every advantage who died a pauper and a hypocrite — and we're all poorer for it.
Except they will be immediately undercut by someone that did NOT raise prices !
How, if true, does this bear on the validity of the idea?
