My god you're right. Or, that, but accidentally - it's survivorship bias as the only ones that do succeed are the cringe ones.
I still love and use sublime text. It has an SFTP package that knocks the socks off anything available on VScode.

Plus I find the way it manages the search results screen far superior to VScode.
I agree but changing the world to that would be quite a fuss. But if that was already where we are at it would be better. But the JS as an Operating System per site ship has sailed.
The only time I tried wasm in Go, the wasm compiled by the native Go was so slow that the equivalent Javascript was faster. Tinygo produced decent performance however.

While Lonesome Dove has its moments of melancholy and heartbreak, from what I remember, the sequels are positively BLEAK. It was like reading Cormac McCarthy but without the stunningly beautiful prose and mythical storytelling to help carry me through all the darkness. I can't even say for sure whether I liked them, I was too depressed by the end to even properly reflect. They definitely felt raw and honest.
I remember a Japanese guest visiting and showing us his cam corder with a flip out display. Early 90s probably. Dont think we had them, or at least id never seen them. Was like someone coming from the future.
The way of achieving that is through the Packet Filter, which is what is broken. It seems unlikely you can block system-level traffic with anything except system-level APIs.
Lots of jokes from tv shows at the time about shoddy Japanese-made cars. Then in the early 2000s about shoddy American-made ones.
I think the vast majority of people just use Bluetooth in their cars. My car is from 2016 so it has CarPlay. I bought a $50 wireless CarPlay adapter and pulled the cable for a MagSafe dongle through the dash and now I can just plop my phone down so it's held in place, it charges, connects to the car console, everything is super handy.
I hate it soooo much. I've got Gigabit Internet and it makes it feel like I'm back on dialup waiting for images to load as I scroll rather than having the page ready for me.
Ha ha that was quick! Thanks. On iOS it is actually echoing which is just as useful BUT you get acoustic feedback.

It’s a stable platform idk what people want. The iPod didn’t innovate much after the first couple. Apple never really innovates anyway they just clean up a buggy existing product group and make it more streamlined. What piece of hardware do people expect them to go after. I think they have all the personal devices covered except maybe eReaders
It's insane how studios never last no matter how talented nor creative. It seems like there's no way to command a price long term that keeps a studio alive.

Auto-save means that the company, no matter how nefarious, decides on their terms when my work is saved - regardless of what I've entered into the document (I write documents in a very stream of conscious manner).

I want to decide when to save, and how, not the application. I am not a product, I am a user!!!

InstaFlow: Step Good for High-Quality Diffusion-Based Text-to-Image Generation
The author of this article is a moron. He's constantly saying how bad Musk's actions were while describing how everything worked out! Look, guy, there are some big lessons here that just went right past you...
I think (and am not alone) that indentation based languages are easier for beginners to learn.

The fact that indentation (whether significant to syntax or not)helps readability is something I hope I need not demonstrate since indenting is near universal in languages that use explicit delimiters.

So beginners learning a language with delimiters need to learn both delimiters and indentation, and then learn that while the latter helps them more, it's actually just the former that is required.

For beginners, mental load is death by a thousand cuts, so it may make more of a difference then an experienced programmer thinks.

[Edit]

My first reaction was just the benefits for beginners of indentation e syntax. I personally have a subjective feeling of advantages for non beginners to delimiter based syntax (I use common lisp regularly), but I have fairly low confidence in that, while I'm pretty sure of the advantages to beginners for indentation.

Basically Stable Diffusion can be trained to only require one inference step for image generation rather than tens of steps.

Abstract:

Diffusion models have revolutionized text-to-image generation with its exceptional quality and creativity. However, its multi-step sampling process is known to be slow, often requiring tens of inference steps to obtain satisfactory results. Previous attempts to improve its sampling speed and reduce computational costs through distillation have been unsuccessful in achieving a functional one-step model. In this paper, we explore a recent method called Rectified Flow, which, thus far, has only been applied to small datasets. The core of Rectified Flow lies in its \emph{reflow} procedure, which straightens the trajectories of probability flows, refines the coupling between noises and images, and facilitates the distillation process with student models. We propose a novel text-conditioned pipeline to turn Stable Diffusion (SD) into an ultra-fast one-step model, in which we find reflow plays a critical role in improving the assignment between noise and images. Leveraging our new pipeline, we create, to the best of our knowledge, the first one-step diffusion-based text-to-image generator with SD-level image quality, achieving an FID (Frechet Inception Distance) of 23.3 on MS COCO 2017-5k, surpassing the previous state-of-the-art technique, progressive distillation, by a significant margin (37.2 → 23.3 in FID). By utilizing an expanded network with 1.7B parameters, we further improve the FID to 22.4. We call our one-step models \emph{InstaFlow}. On MS COCO 2014-30k, InstaFlow yields an FID of 13.1 in just 0.09 second, the best in ≤0.1 second regime, outperforming the recent StyleGAN-T (13.9 in 0.1 second). Notably, the training of InstaFlow only costs 199 A100 GPU days. Project page: https://github.com/gnobitab/InstaFlow

For me it's the opposite. I literally can't use another editor for any extended period of time since I started using Shade Of Purple in vscode. I usually hate flashy stuff but man, pycharm is weirdly hard to use without it

It's such a stupid detail and ideally irrelevant to actual development too, but my brain just likes it too much.
Well, I guess I'm wrong. Maybe this is central to HN and I could imagine the kinds of self immolation amongst tech elites will in due course follow as spring follows winter. So, where would Peter Thiel be in this? Would he be funding RFKj? Or Musk? If there is a pledge relating to s.w. and h.w. development investment and taxation it will have to be strongly focussed on the west coast states to garner support, but tech is looking to Texas and other places, so perhaps there is a left right split here, as in left of Rockies and right of Rockies?

Some background before i explain why your suggestion is "not even wrong".

The phrase you quote is generally used to imply a stupid or unscientific suggestion. Your succeeding comments about what you think AGI is carry a certitude that isn't warranted.

It's good that you are trying to supply knowledge where you think it is lacking, and I understand there are fora where this sort of public school lecturing is amusing but I think your tone is misplaced here.
They don't need to. They can infer based on the size and timing of the transfers. Nothing for a while then suddenly a huge download? Probably a picture. If the sizes are unique enough they might even figure out which.

> Union support is substantially higher among younger cohorts, and ~2 million of the 55+ cohort ages out annually, so support should skew upwards over time. Progress in this regard is a function of time.

If this logic held, we in democratic countries would only have left-wing governments. Actually, people like unions less as they age for various reasons.
See my other comment: 45% effective tax rate (ie taxes paid / total income).
With Google Authenticator some years ago it wasn't even possible to restore your codes even if you had a local backup of the device. I'm not sure if that still is the case today but it was a common issue which we saw at our service desk before we switched to a different solution.

If you had a perfect lossless compressor (one that could compress anything down to it's fundamental kolmogorov complexity), you would also definitionally have an oracle that could compute any computable function.

For developers the per-install fee is an additional unwelcome cost, and one that can continue to nibble at you in perpetuity as players install and inevitably reinstall games over time. It seems to imply that if I ever upgrade to a new computer and reinstall my favorite games the developers will incur a cost and Unity will obtain revenue for... no real reason?

For gamers, this seem to indicate that all games developed with Unity phone home back to Unity HQ at the very least during the initial install (possibly on every launch?) with information about my machine. I'm not sure how they could conceivably be enforcing this otherwise. It makes me inclined to avoid installing games developed with Unity to avoid sending information about my machine and my gaming habits back to Unity and IronSource. Sorry guys but I don't want my "profile" to be part of your "ad tech" just because I decided to install games I purchased.
Unions lead to cost increases VERY reliably
Curious about how it scales. Plenty of solutions look good with small amounts of data, but completely fall apart past a point. Would be interesting to see the latency numbers for 1M, 10M...

LiteFS doesn't try to be a correct distributed system, as you can see from: https://fly.io/docs/litefs/how-it-works/#cluster-management-...

Basically, the solution they have is:

1. There is a single writer. There's optional best-effort leader election for the writer.

2. If there's a network partition, split-brain, etc, availability is chosen over consistency.

Jepson's testing is focused on databases that pick "consistency". Since LiteFS didn't pick consistency, there's really not any point in running Jepson against it. Like, jepson would immediately find "you can lose acknowledged writes", and LiteFS would say "Yes! That's working exactly as intended!"

However, another way of running LiteFS is with only a single writer ever (as in one app, one server, one sqlite database only), and all clients as read-only replicas that are not eligible for taking writes ever. In that case, you also don't have a proper distributed system, just read only replicas, which is quite easy to get right, and mostly what this post is talking about.
If the problem was out-of-viewport images impeding the receipt of assets that do affect the viewport (CSS, fonts, etc.) then it would be good to postpone fetching those images just until everything else is received, rather than postponing until they're closer to the viewport.
I have a post-butterfly MBP and I too find the built-in Touch ID great. I thought it would be a gimmick, but I use it all the time. Touch ID is one of the big reasons I won't get rid of my original iPhone SE (with the headphone jack right behind it).

But the continued lack of a real Delete key on Apple's laptops is annoying as shit. It has always been stupid, because everybody else manages to put a Delete key on their keyboards no matter how small. But when the Eject key became obsolete, the failure to put a Delete key on every keyboard just proved that Apple hasn't abandoned the infantile pettiness that has marked a lot of its history.

Good Asian sriracha doesn't have sugar as a listed ingredient. I just checked my bottle which was obtained from a Korean market - peppers, garlic, salt, vinegar.
The problems lazy loading solves is an everyday issue for me. So ...

I guess the lack of user control here is the annoying part. Hopefully in the next round of standards updates this makes it in.
As a web dev… I honestly have never thought of it that way in terms of cost.

I would rather a user see the whole page, consume all the content, it’s not a big cost.
Regulation is hard. Especially for contracts. You can couldn't add "it's illegal to retroactively change the terms of a contract" because there are often terms in a contract relating to just that. It's often required in certain circumstances.

In an instance like this, I'd say "market forces" isn't entirely the wrong approach. Everyone migrates away from them and destroys their business.
Even if network conditions are great, lazy loading breaks browser operations like "Find" with Ctrl-F. It's only gonna search what's in the viewport. I think lazy loading should only be used when there's an actually infinite stream of content to load. But stuff like the twitter replies section shouldn't be this way. I shouldn't have to scroll all the way down to make sure search works.
Hey don't pin this on me it's not my assertion.

But it is your assertion, wherever you've picked up the idea from.

...which is the same as AGI..

...effectively defines AGI...

No it isn't, and no it doesn't. Your language is too strong in its claims.
The difference in interface speed and responsiveness is tremendous. I have a few G4 machines, os9 on them is absolutely nuts in terms of speed compared to my mid-road M2 macbook with the latest osX.

Helps when you don't have to start up a dedicated web browser instance for every single application you have.
That rate was in principle but hardly anyone paid the top rate and indeed spurred tax avoidance tactics: https://taxfoundation.org/data/all/federal/taxes-on-the-rich...

So people didn't "quit working" but people earning over 200K (~2MM today) did start looking at ways to avoid having to pay those taxes and the net effect was that the effective tax rate for them was in the mid 40% range (a few points higher than today but by no means much higher).

On Ventura 13.5.2 ifconfig create creates the interface UP:

bash-3.2# ifconfig pflog1 create

bash-3.2# ifconfig -a

pflog1: flags=1<UP> mtu 33072

But I don't think tcpdump will see anything because there's no IP associated with that interface. On some devices (Broadcom) the OS will just dump stuff out of an interface, but I'm not sure what MacOS does in this case.

I presume this was tested to work on 13.5.2?
> studios never last

What do you mean by this?

I'm assuming you're implying that film, game, and other creative studios all collapse at some point for one reason or another?

I don't think that's the case. Walt Disney Animation Studios has been around since 1923. Lots of studios endure for a long time.
I like such short article given the attention span I have these days. This could have been a tweet.
>doesn't harass you to sign up to cloud services

That's not really true. The Os9 installer actually invites you register your computer with apple (and maybe even sign up for an apple account, been a hot minute since I've seen the dialogue). But you can just click through it if you don't want to.

I can't remember which company it was, but I got a call a few years ago about some issue with an account, and they wanted some information to "verify my identity"

I said wait a minute, you called me. Shouldn't I be verifying who you are?

The guy kind of laughed and said yeah, but this is the process I've been given to follow. I said I would call back on public customer service number and he said that would be fine.

It turned out it was a legit call, but just weird that they would operate that way.

I wish I could remember who it was. A credit card, I think.
Well it really depends on the task. If it can be done with a regex, use a regex. We can’t make categorical statements about LLMs being better. It depends.

You can also probably distill a large model to a smaller one while maintaining a lot of performance. DistillBert is almost as good as Bert at a fraction of the inference cost.

GPT-3.5 and 4 also currently aren’t deterministic even with temperature zero, which is a nightmare for debugging.
Oh, you should also do a:

ifconfig pflog1 destroy

afterwards to whack that extra interface.
I'm sorry, did you just compare Mitch McConnell block of Supreme Court appointments through Obama's terms to... luck?

That's about as disingenuous as it comes.
Now that machine was very slow IIRC. Glad it works for you!
We’ll have to spend a trillion or so first to restock and buy new, since we sent all our stuff over seas. Then we can reduce spending 50%, promise.
Hardly any app is designed for subway riders. If they were, we'd have widespread preloading (like half an hour of tweets pre-loaded), seamless delayed posting (sending a new post when the internet comes back online), and visibility into what's downloading and uploading so users can make informed choices. As with all accessibility affordances, this will help people beyond the targeted group - like air travelers, folks living in rural areas, or those out of the country without service. They say wifi coverage in trains is going take another 25 years in the NYC subway system. Until then, I hope we pay more attention to users with intermittent internet access.
Back in the olden days when I was closer to the web, and we didn't have the browser to do lazy loading for us, we would always load everything 'below the fold' after a timeout, if the user hadn't scrolled down (or left the page). Seems not unreasonable to not load images that aren't visible during the initial load, but pull them in a bit later. There's some priorty things you could try, but priorities don't always work the way we might want.

MDN says img lazy doesn't work unless javascript is enabled, so easy peasy to use javascript to make the images unlazy after onload.
I’m calling it now. In five years there will be the next iteration of slack like tools. They will raise tens or hundreds of millions of dollars and be good for another 5-10 years before enshittification.

Time to start finding alternatives and betting.

Coyoneda comes up with algebraic effects systems as the "Freer Monad."

`Free (Coyoneda f)` gives you `Freer` which allows you to build Monads without even a `Functor` on `f`.
That's the only thing I liked about the new design. I wish every software had a Vista/Win7 theme.

I'm not typically a Jira hater (I know, I know) but this is definitely a gripe I have with it. The backlog view lazy loads. Tiny little scraps of text! Ok so there's rank, priority, and maybe a few other data points to query for. But still, come on!
It's not an unreasonable definition, if you are aware of Kolmogorov complexity and Solomonoff induction. Intelligence is intimately connected to the ability to predict and model things, and it turns out that data compression is _also_ connected to the ability of predict and model things.
You are spreading misinformation, read your own comment, here is an example:

"[...]designed to justify the judiciary dictatorship we're currently living under."

That's literally the fake news spread in far-right media, which seems you are consuming too much. Just because you don't agree with a decision done by the Supreme Court on Brazil (STF) doesn't mean it's a dictatorship.

i've written code used by at least a billion people over fifteen years. i'm nobody and it was nothing. so definitely not on par
Then you’ve probably just not worked on pages of that scale so far.

Some very large sites maintain alternate versions of images in chance the browser supports something more efficient than JPEG; that can save about 30% – at the expense of a lot of complexity and extra server side storage. Yet they still do it: It’s still worth it for them.

But nothing beats not loading the image at all!

As a web user, I personally also don’t particularly like it.
I like it, but the only benefit we've retained at that point is eliminating round trips. Which is pretty significant. But we're still engaging in API design, we're just doing it in Sqlite.
