Yes, but I read directionality to include the thoughtful/intentional choice of a given direction, making the pairing of "you should be thoughtful about your choice of direction" (directionality) and "you should also commit energy to ensure you actually make progress in that direction" (momentum).
> It takes barely more effort to make some scrambled eggs and toast/eggos

Making scrambled eggs isn't all that hard but surely you see that pouring some cereal and milk in a bowl is a fraction of the effort, even if the absolute difference isn't that huge?
some gates need to be kept. if you use an LLM to generate a game for you, are you still a "game developer"? where does one draw the line? it's has to be somewhere, and

"understands what a 'game engine' necessarily entails such that 'making a simple single-threaded 2D platformer "from scratch (using libraries)" in C or equivalent' isn't a scary thing, but rather very, very simple and straightforward"

seems about as good of a bar as any—and it's a very, very low bar, one that anyone who is offended that they don't meet this criteria, should be able to achieve in two weekends, tops. then you can go back to using whatever general-purpose engine you want, secure in your improved knowledge about how games can made without using one.

you seem to think that my 2D platformer example is some outrageously difficult task, too scary for you to make, which is exactly what I'm talking about—you should intuitively understand how little I'm actually asking for here, instead of being outraged at my suggestion.
I think it is, just as Gradle is Java. Groovy is a superset of Java, and makes some parts of Java development better. I for example write many tests with Groovy or implement DSLs for my clients with Groovy.
Humans are not LLMs trained and operated by a company for profit. Your argument is that LLMs hold all the same basic rights as humans but they hold (and should hold) exactly none.
Individual vehicle ownership is not a "problem." The United States is not Europe, both from a cultural perspective and a geographical one. You can either propose unrealistic solutions like "push mass transit hard and increase density," or you can meet people where they are and realize America is a big, big country with a tradition of individual freedom.

People don't necessarily want to live in a big city, go only where the buses and trains go, and never have the chance to go on road trips or vacations to the mountains or the beach. Better for the climate to do this via battery power and not fossil fuels, because it's going to happen.
At any point did you reach out to Stripe during those 7 months?

That was true in 2005. Modern Java UI can look pretty great. Two examples:

1. Start IntelliJ and check it out. It's Swing but it feels modern and fresh.

2. Go to https://www.jfx-central.com/ ... JavaFX was introduced years ago to add far better support for modern visuals. JFX Central is a website written with JavaFX itself - it runs server side and streams drawing instructions to the client (implemented using a mix of divs, svg tags and css). You can do this because JavaFX implements the CSS2 drawing model. The website looks modern, like any slick website would today, but you can also download and run it locally. It uses Conveyor to do that in fact. The desktop version looks exactly the same as the web version.
Probably Chernyshevsky can spin a bit better, Lenin seems a bit tied down.
Thanks for responding earnestly
The article wants to convince you in something and naturally the visuals are adjusted to help that goal. Have a look at the raw data if you like.

So far, as much as I can see, the current climate models do not predict absolutely anything in advance, but are used to explain things afterwards to show that anything is caused by co2.

Okay that was surprisingly funny to read through. It's interesting how in isolation the texts are probably fine and work well for demonstrating the software, but taken together they do present an oddly stilted view of the world.

maybe the maintenance costs lead to a kind of forced deprecation and hence war is not that "expensive" anymore
The first question I had was "what are the economics?" From the FAQ:

Will Petals incentives be based on crypto, blockchain, etc.?

No, we are working on a centralized incentive system similar to the AI Horde kudos, even though Petals is a fully decentralized system in all other aspects. We do not plan to provide a service to exchange these points for money, so you should see these incentives as "game" points designed to be spent inside our system.

Petals is an ML-focused project designed for ML researchers and engineers, it does not have anything to do with finance. We decided to make the incentive system centralized because it is much easier to develop and maintain, so we can focus on developing features useful for ML researchers.

I had a Mac from around 1993 to 1997. I even wrote articles for minor league Mac journals.

My impression is that Microsoft was founded to bring programming to the people, and the Mac was founded to bring great software experience, which I appreciate. But Apple (represented in my mind by Steve Jobs) didn't want his platform to be flooded by crappy software. Even HyperCard never had his wholehearted support (I used it extensively, despite its odd and limited language), and I think Apple was glad to finally dump it.

If you had a reason to write crappy software, as I did, you ended up with Visual Basic. What I mean by "crappy" is software that solves a problem reliably, but can't be scaled. For instance, installation might require help from the author, and entering a bad value might make it crash, but a small handful of tolerant users can handle these issues.

The solution today, with open source, is that the people bring programming to the people.
My understanding is that they're still privately owned and pretty free, culturally, right? Yeah, I wish they'd make a few blog posts about how they run projects. Would love to see how the Deck, Index, GeForce Now support, etc. all came to be.

They're that rare tech company from the 90s/2000s that I still adore today.
It’s so fucking disappointing to keep seeing this happen.

It shows a lack of care, empathy, and diversity from every organization that makes this mistake.

It completely nullifies every point they were making.

I remember Google made this same fuck up on a segment in IO when they were talking about how many languages they’re supporting.

It’s disgraceful and just outright disrespectful.
Undefined per se is not a bad thing. It means "compiler can make choices based on certain assumptions in the name of performance". The problem with c is that you must have a comprehensive dictionary in your brain with tons of corner cases to know what is or is not undefined in any given compiler setting.

If C could have a consistent set of rules, and/or easily tag something as undefined a la "unsafe" or have some sort of visual reminder signal (like using function name prefixes or suffixes) that would go a long way to making it better.
Yes, more thorough. Using a chemical test to look for an often invisible substance is an obvious step to take. Conversely, visually looking for that same substance and then saying it wasn’t there when you don’t see it is laughable.
You haven't been paying attention for the last 20 years.
My breakfast consists a cup of coffee (no sugar) since my teens. I'm just not hungry in the morning.

I eat a good breakfast only if I need to do an intense effort, or if I cannot control when I'm going to eat for lunch (business trips can have difficult schedules..).

True. But it appears you have ignored half of the comment you're replying to, the part about the immigrants that moved to the US.

It's entirely possible that the US would've also succeeded had it opened its doors to millions of East Asian immigrants, but that didn't happen.
The real magic will be when we can get to the point where the objective function is “return the answer to the prompt that is optimally satisfying for the specific person asking”.
Which raises the question of what was the point of Celsius in the first place?

Fahrenheit had already existed for around 20 years when Celsius was proposed.

With units of distance, area, volume, and mass we commonly deal with a range of several orders of magnitude, and often need to subdivide larger values into equal smaller values.

Because of that immense range it makes a lot of sense to have names for specific multiples or fractions of some base unit.

The metric system made all those names derived units powers of 10 times the base unit, made those names all prefixes applied to the base unit, and used the same prefixes for length, area, volume, and mass.

That was a noticeable improvement over previous systems, where length, area, volume, and mass might use different multiples for their derived named units, the names might not be connected to the base unit, and the names were often only used with one kind of unit.

The only real problem with the metric system was that instead of defining the original meter as 10^-7 times the great circle distance from the equator to the North Pole, it should have been defined as some specific round integer multiple of some existing distance unit that was in common use and reasonably well defined.

But with temperature we almost never in ordinary life or business deal with a large range. We don't need names for specific multiples or fractions.

Fahrenheit's original reference points might not have been the best, but if you wanted to switch to basing on something else you can do that without changing the scale. Fahrenheit's original 0 point was the lowest temperature that could be achieved in the lab via a specific procedure. The other reference point was average human body temperature. On that scale water freezes at around 32℉.

If you wanted to instead have the freezing point of water as your base, you don't need to make a new scale that defines the 0 point as the freezing of water. Instead you can keep the degree size the same, and define the 0 point as 32 degrees below the freezing point of water. Similar for the upper reference point. Define it so that water boils at 212.

That gives you a scale that is defined based on freezing and boiling water (which is what Celsius used, although originally Celsius went the other way--water froze at 100 and boiled at 0--but that was pretty quickly swapped), but that still matches the thermometers that are already in use.

Same thing when later you realize that freezing and boiling point of water aren't the best reference points. We've moved on from freezing/boiling to using the triple point of water, then to the triple point of water with a specific isotropic composition, and now it is based on the Boltzmann constant and has nothing to do with water.

Each time, we set the values so that the resulting scale matches the new scale to within the limits of accuracy that we can measure at the time.

> So far as I'm aware, Ross Coulthart's source is David Grusch, and David Grusch does not say he's witnessed anything firsthand; he says rather that he knows other people who have

And multiple such people have already testified in front of several congressional committees. I have already provided two sources. There are more sources if you look for them.

> But he can't identify any of them.

He is not legally allowed to disclose classified information to the public. He has already provided that information to the ICIG and congressional committees.

> Neither person is credible

What specifically makes then non-credible? Because if the reason you don't find them credible is the fact that they are making statements you find implausible then that suggests that you will not accept any information that clashes with your preexisting beliefs.

> because none of this is how military classification works

Please inform us of how the DOPSR works. Be as specific as you feel may be necessary.

> The DOPSR is simply the department in the DoD that performs pre-publication review. It's not a special instrument Grusch signed.

Did I say he signed anything? I said he submitted a list of subjects he wanted to discuss in public and sent that list to the DOPSR for review, which was granted to him and currently establishes the boundaries of what he is allowed to disclose in public. If your understanding is different, please elaborate.
I also went to a similar level non-Stanford school. My family was "not at all connected" (my parents' generation was the first on either side to attend college) and we spent a fair amount of time doing things that were (in retrospect to me, less sure about my parents' knowledge) optimizing for admissions.

For every kid whose parents bought the university a building there are hundreds who did nothing more than follow the cookbook process to optimize their transcript, extracurriculars, and then won the admissions lottery.

I'm one of the "lucky few" that (a) really needs autocorrect because I can never seem to type correctly in mobile phone keyboards and (b) really hates autocorrect because often it either gets me wrong or worse, changes legitimate words into awkward and incorrect words - like the other day I typed something pretty mundane that got changed into a more... vulgar word.

I got a little reprieve with swiping text, but still, autocorrect should be much better.
> Recursive CTE queries are powerful but confusing and limiting. This old-school procedural programming approach may be a much better fit for developers untrained with SQL, and that is, in my opinion, the majority. On the other hand, the procedural approach may be something most developers feel comfortable with.

No please. Recursive CTEs are really easy to understand, and they are tail-recursive loops, so they are just loops, and they are easy to understand as such if loops is what you understand. Writing a loop in procedural SQL is not better, just a) wordier, b) not easily amenable to relational algebra. (b) is a big deal.
If I’m writing an email to my coworkers, what I really care about is the information I’m getting across and not really the presentation of it. If LLM autocomplete can speed up writing a totally functional email then how bland it is really isn’t at the top of my mind.
What are the main blockers?
I generally agree, but having a degree from a top 20 school would definitely make even a software development career easier, just because some companies filter candidates based on that, and some filter even more aggressively. And if you want to start a startup, being friends with connected folks from Stanford would help... assuming connecting with them is possible if they're wealthy and you're not -- assuming you can bridge the cultural gap.

A lot of success really is who you know, so going somewhere where you meet a lot of people who are going somewhere can be very useful. But of course, they also need to be people who are open to networking, understand the value of networks, etc., which I suspect is somewhat more true of people who attend Stanford than those who go to UCs just because of the mindset of the folks going in.
Meh, weird accusation from a known bad-faith troll with a history of misrepresenting facts (i.e. lying) to make weird accusations and more sockpuppets on the internet than I have socks.

Hey HN, I'm one of the creators of the tool [1] that was used to post this bounty

Normally it's the maintainers who create the bounties using our Github app, however in this case our experimental "community bounties" feature was used by Wasmer to create a bounty in someone else's repo (Zig). I think that's where everything went wrong

We have updated the feature [2]. Community bounties are now by default shared privately with the maintainers only, and maintainers can decide to complete the bounties themselves, share them with the contributors, or discard them. That way community bounties are never intrusive to maintainers' time, roadmap & governance while also acting as a sponsorship if accepted

We're sad to see our tool enabling this drama and hope the feature update will prevent this from happening again

If Eve is listening in to the data stream you've outlined, it's trivial for her to decode.

Adam: (A)93,036,637
Bob: (B)824,955,860,279
Eve: (B)824955860279 / (A)93036637 = Bob's secret of (S3)8867
Adam: (C)83,269,997
Eve: (C)83269997 / (S3)8867 = (S1)9391
Eve: (A)93036637 / (S1)9391 = (S2)9907

Eve doesn't need anything but A, B, and C to easily calculate the rest.

I agree with the idea of rehabilitating public perception, but I believe that happens naturally with legalization.

The issue is that every day there is friction to acquire unadulterated drugs, is another day some young human dies for causes unrelated to the negative impacts of the substance they are taking themselves.

It is easy to plan for the risk of something when you know what it is. How can they plan for risk of fentanyl laced MDMA? They are going to take the drug one way or another, so we can all start by making sure what they take is what they think it is. That will immediately begin saving lives and have drastic societal impacts.

By doing that, the reshaping of perceptions and use of these drugs happens naturally. People taking them can be open about what they are on, and can have support when they use. Conversations will happen naturally -- "did you know MDMA has significant benefits when taken quietly and contemplatively? Maybe try that sometime." These conversations rarely happen now because you have to establish trust and knowledge with people to make sure they won't be a danger to your safety and freedom.

With current mechanics, often times, people hide their use so well they look like advocates against use. How many police officers, for instance, are users of something? We don't have a clue. The users are absolute masters of hiding. But I promise you, they exist, and the numbers are higher than anyone would expect.

What alternative is there? The only protection there ever was for taking business secrets was patent enforcement, civil lawsuits or prison. If a foreign government won't cooperate on any of those things, what can you do?

The only answer humanity has ever come up with is something like a government intelligence agency, where everything is obfuscated by clearance levels and need to know compartmentalization, and any violations are handled criminally, with armies of full time counter espionage people. That just wouldn't work in the corporate world.

Did you read the parent post I was replying to?

All those guns are going to kill a bunch of people because the other side, you I'm guessing in this case, have decided to willfully disarm yourself because you believe the ballot box is the sole savior. I expect because such people are afraid of accepting a world in which they must be responsible for their own safety.

Along that same path, I'm not worried about a fascist in Washington DC, I'm worried about the one next door. The ones who see some queer kids stocking up at a rural store, and follow them to their campsite to tell em they aren't welcome with threats, and destroy their sense of safety. (Speaking from experience) Ballot box doesn't fix that, but couple weekends of pistol training and drills can help.
