My issue is the substantial shift in the API, major bugs and poor documentation in the initial workspaces implementation, then more subjectively, I didn’t like the PnP solution though it seems to work more reliably now.

I worked on a very large monorepo that was using yarn and the headaches that occurred from migrating to workspaces and newer versions of Yarn were absolutely brutal. In many ways things were better and other package managers technically couldn’t offer the same features, but there’s a reason packages like Lerna/Nx/Turborepo were used to accomplish similar things despite it being possible with yarn. It was extremely cumbersome, didn’t work intuitively with TypeScript, felt like a house of cards at times, etc.

I understand it’s better now, but getting hit by that transition was a burn if I ever saw one.
> you can't be too surprised when they....lie to win the contract.

Whether or not you can be "surprised" you can still hold them legally accountable for it. Surprise or lack-thereof is irrelevant, so why even bring it up?
I have to limit how much my toddler gets, or he would literally suck down 1.5 liters of whole milk a day, and not bother with that time-wasting eating business that keeps him away from more important things, like his train set.
HN is often very hostile when you bring up certification or even applying a bare minimum standard for proficiency and ethics to the profession. That stackoverflow question is one of the reasons why we need these standards and training. If the SO-OP had the ethical training and foundation that came with licensing, and faced the risk of license revocation, he would have easily made the right decision to not lie. Honestly I couldn't believe what I was reading. How did OP even remotely rationalize his decision?

You did not understand me correctly. There is funny-haha and funny-interesting. If I say: "it is fun to study topology", I am not saying that you should be laughing like crazy. It is fun in the sense of interesting, of learning something new, of getting new perspectives.

In the sentence above, "for fun" means "for no other reason to find out something you did not know before", not "to make fun of others".

Last time I asked question (b), I got the answer from a regular joe/jane of 50 billion. Which is neither laughable nor an isolated case (you can try it yourself), but puts into perspective the demands of the public regarding academic decisions that my comment was responding to. There is no need for the regular bricklayer, of office worker, or truck driver, or lawyer to know hoe many people--more or less--are alive on this planet, but, taking it as an illustrative example, it makes far-reaching the hypothesis that the demands on scientists to increase productivity came from the "public".

I recommend being charitable in the interpretation of other people's thinking.
Once we effectively deal with aging, and get to see 120+ yo people in 30s-like overall condition (and indistinguishable at a glance).

Aging in characterized in some 8 or 9 ways an old person is different from a young one. Each can be targeted and reverted, in a maintenance approach. Research organized by Aubrey de Grey is all about that.
Do you also preach everyone to learn self-defense when they propose making mugging illegal?

No, in the best world we do both.
I’ve had zero problems with any of Slack’s previous design changes; I’ve welcomed many of them. But rolling all Slack orgs into one is a sudden and dramatic problem.
The food pyramid was nonsense, regardless of interpretation. No one needs to eat that much grain - and did you forget that it explicitly listed dairy as a nutritional requirement?
It is still flagged
Depending on the investigation's ultimate scope, either the federal DOJ or an independent investigator's office.

(It hopefully isn't controversial to say that, as a general principle, entities in positions of exceptional public trust or interest should not be tasked with enforcing or regulating themselves.)
The sad thing is, clearly Google already has the tools to solve this problem, they deal with spam on a massive scale in Gmail and using the same approaches here should be fairly straightforward.
Luck isn’t the only factor, but it’s one of the only factors that is requisite. Hard work and competence help but aren’t required. Luck is always required.

For what it’s worth, luck isn’t rabbit’s feet and horseshoes. When folks talk about luck in the context of entrepreneurship, it’s the chaotic, complex, unmeasurable, unquantifiable, uncontrollable, and often imperceptible factors that can lead to wildly different outcomes for the same idea and quality of execution from two different individuals.

For example, you’re not the first to think “If we could empower doctors with AI, we could save billions and improve patient outcomes”. There are probably 10,000 or more people who have already pitched or are actively in the process of preparing VC pitches for what are essentially all just variations on the same idea. Luck is the fact that your former college roommate raised a series A from Sequoia last year and is willing to vouch for you to their contacts. And further, that those contacts feel like it’s the right time to expose themselves to this part of the market. And that you had no traffic on your way to the pitch, that your IBS didn’t act up mid pitch, and that this is the first day in a week that the VC you’re pitching to isn’t hung over. Luck is them deciding, before you ever step in the room, that as long as you don’t fuck up that they are feeling ready to fund exactly a medical AI venture, and you’re the first in line since they developed that resolve.

Luck is something that can be influenced, to a degree. It’s stochastic. You roll a d20 once and you’re probably not getting a nat 20. If you keep rolling though, one of those is likely going to pan out. Luck is also having the background to keep rolling though. It’s the difference between being able to take 3-months off work and spending all of your life savings because you’re a paramedic making $45k/year with a great idea and ambition, vs being comfortable taking 1-2 years off to perfect your pitch and build a compelling product because you used to work for Google and even if this doesn’t land you’re not going to have a hard time getting hired at Facebook for $100k/year more than you used to make. In this sense, luck is the difference between your Plan B potentially breaking you completely, or leaving you on a lower cloud among the 1%.
Yeah, I'm particularly thinking of Microsoft-Activision-Blizzard being able to jump ship with a Hearthstone 2, while Hasbro-Wizards of the Coast is probably now stuck paying Unity the money for Magic the Gathering Arena for at least a decade. (And even there, they are lucky, they were just mentioning that they were now thinking about going beyond the 1vs1, PvP focus of Arena just this summer !)
>I'm using rider on an m2 with no issues. Of course it's not free

I just don't understand the "Rider is not free" thing. Just come on now, guys. It's like $15 a month, a price of 1 good meal pretty much anywhere in the world. In my 3rd world country, even students could afford it. If you earn money with code, it should be no brainer.

If you are a someone who is just learning and hacking around, or just want everything to be free forever, then VS Code with C# DevKit is more than adequate, you can even do professional work with it.

I'm saying this assuming you are on Mac/Linux. On Windows, the powerful (and free) VS Community Edition will get you covered, unless your revenue exceeds 1M, in which case you probably can afford the VS Professional license.
So it's fair and fun to port everything to ARM when you pay licensing fees, but it's unfair and hard to do it on RISC-V hardware?

> Oh, and we will not upstream our drivers as usual so your devices will be landfill after 4 years as usual

C'mon, it won't be that similar to ARM.
> which they will eventually

Unity will still likely be much cheaper than Unreal. Zero respect for customers and unpredictability (what they might pull off next?) would seem like much better incentives and cost for most.
Clearly less than 12%.

Is this an apt analogy? Don't LLMs train off these bland humans you mention? Wouldn't LLMs then also be bland?
Indeed - what I'm suggesting is not that we have some opt-in standard that people may or may not follow. Browsers should go nuclear on tracking, and remove any feature that permits it.
Yes, absolutely. I tend to think of it like this: we are not talking about a bipolar world which is "the-west" vs "not-the-west"; we are instead talking about two visions of modernism emerging out of the enlightenment and the development of modernity: one that emphasizes some democracy and chaotic diversity and another that emphasizes uniformity and control. (The market economy is perhaps parallel to this, both visions can accommodate a capitalist market system.) Multiparty, ethnic diversity, multicultural vs single-leader national chauvinism, etc.

There are ideological proponents of either vision within both "east" and "west." But the crisis in Ukraine has erupted in such a way that it is effectively counterpoising one against the other.

That is not to say that the ruling parties in Ukraine are in any way pro "ethnic diversity" and "democratic"; they are in large part old school national chauvinist and fairly corrupt. But in resisting singular Russian hegemony the Ukrainian people are in large part appealing to something far more anti-oppressive.
Hey thanks for the article. 100% agree on social media and doing the small stuff. HN is about the only one I use and i try to take month long breaks regularly
We might ask ourselves at some point: if the point of simple text prediction is to speed up text entry, and not generate large amounts of text from scratch, then that's a sign the input interfaces are the bottleneck. If we had a way to get text from our brains to the computer faster, we wouldn't need this kind of prediction.
I think if you start from scratch with modern yarn, you’ll generally have an alright time. If you migrate old yard with third party workspaces to modern Yarn with first party workspaces, I think it could be a lot more frustrating. This might be better now due to improved documentation and bug patches. A few years ago it was quite frustrating.
If you can ask ChatGPT about any book contents, you don't need to get the book, and if you don't need to get the book then author got robbed, ClosedAI/MS profited.
Not if done right. Everyone's ID card/drivers license (for the USA) gets an RFID smartcard with a cryptoprocessor and secure storage. Upon first activation (during production) it is seeded with the personal data of the person (name, personal identifier e.g. SSN), generates its own rsa4096/ec keypair, provides the public key to the interface, and gets a certificate signed by a government root CA back.

Upon an attempt to log in at a service (using a phone with a companion app), a nonce signed accompanied by a certificate signed by the government root CA gets signed by the private key on card, and that as well as the signed personal data gets provided to the requesting service.

Is this somehow an old article? Has the DeepMind cofounder somehow been unaware of ChatGPT, which has already been doing this for months, and which is what exploded the whole notion of AI into the popular zeitgeist in the first place?
1: different types of sugar
2: Apple would usually have much more raw fiber content = feel fuller for longer
3: because of first 2, it can be satisfying to eat a decent sized Apple for breakfast, with some water or coffee, but you'd have to otherwise have a whole bowl of cereal

Sugars are bad in that we only need so much of them and our brains are hardwired to be addicted to them/want more. Sugars from fruits are absorbed much more slowly than refined sugar.

Fats, sugars etc aren't inherently bad, there are healthy fats. But the main learning today is really that it's more about caloric intake (energy in, energy out) and it's easier to manage when fats/sugars & other carbs are delivered with foods that digest slowly/have a low GI - making us feel full for longer; it's better that our blood sugar experiences a constant slow release than spikes.

The problem is when we refine sugars & fats down and sprinkle them over _everything_ because "it tastes good". I can't believe American bread often contains a buttload of sugar. It's bread, not brioche!
For the tiny intersection of HN users, nonogram enjoyers, and people who own functioning 3DS: I highly suggest playing picross 3D.
What are you talking about? No one brought machine/platform virtualization into this conversation other than you.

The bytecode interpreter for Java (and other similar languages) is literally called a Virtual Machine, due to the way it functions:

It would seem your understanding of the Java execution model is flawed.
"Consumer" Thinkpads can be pretty crap.

That said, I'll consider a Framework or Starbook next time because even T series Thinkpads are getting thinner and bendier and the keyboards lower and worse.

Not necessarily, consider how big companies are paying Sqlite just to be certain that it keeps being supported, even despite it literally being in the public domain.
A few groups will run a cancel-bot on most blatant spam though, which is a slightly practical solution although not quite in the spirit of Usenet. And acceptance of cancel messages downstream will vary a lot.
yes, you can configure the pro max to 1tb.

if you buy the smallest configuration storage, you will have to care more. that’s the choice.
Yes, at least older models do, but it’s in the inside. The outside is plastic. This provides the rigidity with a softer outer finish.
I find they're useful as a tool for achieving a particular structure or tone that isn't "my voice," including populating boilerplate from bullet points. Sometimes I'll go back and revisit everything they've produced, but they let me put something tolerable in place early. This lets me focus on the meaty parts of the text sooner than I'd otherwise find myself capable of.

I personally don't find them useful for quick / short / informal communication like email, or at least not yet.

I think if you start there it’s potentially great. Going through the early migration from classic to modern was where the burn occurred in my experience.
Independent, i.e. not working with a large publisher, like Microsoft, Sony, etc. That precludes those publishers themselves, of course!
I have experienced this too, and I hope it’s just temporary. Part of it may be that I only have a rudimentary grasp of both languages, but I had learnt a bit of Spanish, and now learning French I find I’m mixing up especially words like tres and muy and things like that when I go back and try to speak Spanish, as well as nouns, numbers etc.. Verbs probably not so much since the conjugation is so different.

It’s tricky because some words are exactly the same (just different pronunciation), some are similar (like from the same root). So I hope this is just teething difficulty.
That is correct, records of him buying the gun are not evidence of him using it. I was responding to this part of your comment "So they have a photo of a gun that was "in his possession" but not of him actually _possessing_ [...] Truly damning evidence" There's ample evidence that he possessed the gun, we don't need a photograph of literally everything to reasonably conclude things.

The bullet they found in a cop's stomach matching the gun he owned is evidence that he used it, albeit not unimpeachable proof because matching bullets to guns is a matter you can reasonably question. Nevertheless, I think the sum of the evidence thus-far presented supports the narrative that he shot a cop then the cops turned him into swiss cheese, possibly with the man trying in vane to surrender while that was happening.
Even if you extend 'all means' to exterminating the entire population of rich countries (where most activism takes place), it's not going to be enough to stop climate change.

I don't think I understand but maybe that's the point. Maybe it seems mysterious because there were other requirements at the time which were themselves already mysterious?
Well, he was shot over a dozen times at close range (probably while sitting with hands up), and both palms had exit wounds.

I’m not sure how well visual inspection would work with all the blood and other carnage.

However, I’m also not sure if trace gunshot residue will show up on current forensics tests if multiple people empty their clips into you from a few feet away.

There’s also the question of why they shot him over a dozen times while he was unarmed.
Thanks, I misremembered.
Yeah, it was a huge disappointment, but then I realized that in the context where I only had my smartphone, I would rather listen to podcasts anyway.
How Big Is a Degree?
If you want to muddy the waters for contrarianism, go for it.

This is clearly not what the OP was asking about.
I think the argument is that native people have lived in that way for thousands of years and reached a state of equilibrium with nature. It is definitely more complex than just looking at individual events. It is not better or worse necessarily, just more stable. When you introduce new technology or even disease that stability is lossed. Ad an example the death of native Americans to European disease reduced the amount of intentional burning. This may have substantially reduced global co2 levels.
The Eunuch Admiral (2011)
According to Wikipedia, iron ore is basically various oxides of iron, and humans use energy to de-oxidize it.

So if you burn iron you're basically un-doing that process.

Iron might be feasible as an energy storage system. Article says it has low specific energy so I'd question if it could ever really be feasible for transporting energy or useful as a vehicle fuel (for ground vehicles let alone aerospace).

If new geosurvey technology revealed a bunch of giant veins of pure un-oxidized iron, or if we start replacing all our steel buildings with plastic or carbon nanotubes or something and producing so much metal scrap and recycled steel that it starts ending up in landfills? Then it might be worth extracting the energy from iron. But neither of those scenarios seems particularly likely.

Also I'd be worried about temperature issues. If your iron burning engine is going to be, well, running hot enough to burn iron, you probably shouldn't make it out of steel. You'd need a material that's more expensive and harder to work. It's doable but seems like it would cause annoying fabrication issues and increase costs.
> Assuming they used that data...

That's the key part. You haven't yet proved they have actually used your content for anything (other than, potentially, read the license to decide if they should include or discard from their training set).

But in practice we'll never know for sure if they are respecting the terms of licenses until 1) this is tested in court, or 2) there's some internal leak that points into either direction.
Note that when referring to memory capacity, I specified LPDDR5, because that's the fastest memory option. If you want to go with 64GB of replaceable DDR5, you'll sacrifice at least 18% of the memory bandwidth. (And in theory the SoC supports LPDDR5-7500, but I'm not aware of anyone shipping it with faster than LPDDR5-6400 yet.) So you could get to 64GB on the memory capacity with a Phoenix SoC, but only by being at a 10x disadvantage on bandwidth relative to an M2 Ultra—which doesn't make a 6x price difference sound outrageous, given that we're discussing workloads that actually benefit from ample memory bandwidth.
It depends on the person, I suppose. For me, GI=55+ is quite high. Soda and cola is 60, and those are go-to for raising blood glucose in people with type 1 diabetes. Something that has emergency use properties for raising blood glucose fast and by a lot doesn't feel like it is very healthy to consume all the time.

And besides, I think we all decided that sugary soda is unhealthy. But we still consider cereal healthy. They both seem to trigger a similar metabolic response, and have a similar satiety profile.

Everyone chooses for themselves, in their own circumstances, though. Even straight up eating glucose with caffeine makes for a great pre-workout mix in a pinch.
What's stopping them is the millions of dollars in compute costs that it takes to train the model, as well as the expense of developing the interface with the IDE to make Copilot perform as well as it does.
High-end equipment certainly increased sharply in price in the last few years, but few people gaming on PC spend anywhere near that amount of money. If you just went to play most games on a reasonable framerate (30fps) a Steam Deck for 400$ is perfectly fine.

For those with high-resolution screens and 144fps the equipment is not affordable to most but not necessary.

But an already existing phone is cheaper for sure
I want to know if this will be used to improve all the places where Apple devices attempt to interpret what you might mean to type, including the swipe keyboard. I've been suffering for years with their terrible, unusable swipe typing. You can't even get it to swipe "I love you" because it always prioritizes "your" over you, regardless of the context. I've even experimented extremely slowly and taken screen recordings to ensure the swipes are accurate. There are a couple of other completely astonishing common words that it 100% of the time gets wrong. I guess GPT3 would probably tax the battery, but on the other hand, I'd like to have the freedom to try it, because it would let me finish tasks much easier if text entry wasn't like fighting with an insane overconfident toddler. Honestly, I don't know what happened. Text entry with iPhones 10 years ago was far less infuriating.
How is setting up infrastructure to exploit third world labor a "software problem" exactly?

Right, no public pricing usually means rates far above what personal or low-budget projects can afford.
