> It feels a little weird and sad that an i3 is the bar to make something "plus" in performance.

Compared to the Celerons found on some Chromebooks, it still counts.

…but there were already plenty of i3 (or even i5, or even R7) Chromebooks with 8 or 16 GB RAM on the market, even at the price point. I don't know what the news is supposed to be here.
Just randomise your clock.

Persistent IDs are a security and information risk. If that's a concern, don't persist IDs.
Like the other comments say, most likely the product owner describes his requirement in as much detail as possible and the phase-1 LLM will convert that to designs. Based on the feedback, it will be iterated and may be 3-4 designs selected for A/B testing.

The phase-2 LLM converts the designs to code in either react/flutter (both of which current LLMs are already quite good at) and deploy for a certain set of users. Basically same flow as today minus the engineers. Most of this is even possible today. The only thing saving engineering necks is the context window size which prevents fitting the whole repo in memory. Hopefully we (the programmers) will build our savings to a sustainable level in the next 5 years before signing off on manual coding or finding another thing to do than typing on keyboards to make computers dance.
If you look at the origins of Thunderbolt, it was designed by Intel and Apple. Apple is very much in the patent pool for Thunderbolt.
yes I should have highlighted that it is satire

through it also wasn't meant to be constructive critique
But that doesn’t mean nudity and sexual content doesn’t exist on YouTube. Last month, I dove into a community of people who scour the platform for videos containing nudity, the more explicit the better. I was surprised to learn just how much of this content exists, and how easy it is to find once you know what to search for. I even managed to join an exclusive Discord channel where people share the rarest, least known explicit YouTube videos, and methods on how to find them, which you can only be admitted to by offering nude videos you’ve discovered on your own.
Just about every Bubble Tea place does this, including in North America. They will ask what sweetness level and what ice level you want.
Me too! Although I did web hosting and company ISDN lines and not dialup 1996-1998.

Used Windows NT for web hosting and Slackware Linux with qmail for mail hosting. Sold out at what I thought was the top - which was a year or two too early but that's OK.

When I bought a new kitchen range half a dozen years ago, I was surprised to find that several pages of the owner's manual were dedicated to something called "Sabbath mode". I guess it is a way to allow for cooking without violating Sabbath rules.

Then there's this practice I only recently heard about, "The Wire That Transforms Much of Manhattan Into One Big, Symbolic Home"[0]

The fact that Chromebooks sell seems to indicate that you are mistaken.
In Kobe can recommend "Kobe sauna & spa". Excellent common bath areas as the name implies, with a variety of bathing options, one even in the open air so you can float while looking at the sky. I think they even had an electric bath.
Yes, that, but also that it was easier and cheaper to master and control an analogue signal than pushing that much video and sound data digitally through a computer.
Show HN: Project Forge, my local app that helps you build Golang applications
Hi, HN! I've spent the last few years building Project Forge, a web application generator/manager, and I'm excited to release it today.

Project Forge helps you create and maintain Golang web applications using the latest tech from the Golang ecosystem, with a focus on developer experience and runtime speed. Unlike most code generation platforms that run only once, Project Forge continues to maintain your application as you work on it, keeping your codebase tidy and secure.

Apps created with Project Forge are web applications, though they're able to be packaged as Linux/macOS/Windows desktop builds (that don't use Electron), Android/iOS mobile builds (with nice clean native codebases), WASM Service Workers (completely offline, almost all features supported), or just a basic 20MB CLI server application for pretty much any platform/OS. The UI is responsive, accessible, and animated, but works perfectly fine without JavaScript.

It feels like I've been hacking on this thing forever, and I've added every useful feature and optimization I can think of, even creating a bunch of half-finished example projects to prove its utility. I hope the community finds Project Forge useful, or at least digs through the repo to find some cool tricks to use in their own projects. Feedback welcome!

Broad brush much? You're also completely ignoring the difference between experimental and theoretical physics, which... both have a lot of things to say about the search for dark matter.

Like... sure, no field is perfect, but saying that a whole gigantic collection of specialties has "lost a lot of credibility" after one particular mathematical framework took up (in your opinion) too much oxygen strikes me as lazy and not particularly useful.

So - why does this add to the discussion? How would I be better served by focusing on your disappointment than trying to learn what actual researchers are saying and doing? Why should I trust in the cynicism of HN comments when I can go read about what experts are actually focusing on/debating/excited about? There's so much new data coming in these days, pedantic "skeptics" just strike me as increasingly annoying and useless.
I grew up in a heavily Jewish area and most Jewish owned businesses that didn't absolutely require the owner present just had non-Jews working on Friday evening and Saturday.

Similarly I've swapped on-call shifts with non-Christians so as to accommodate religious holidays.
Wait until you have to use something like npm or yarn... and try to read the hidden log messages between the emojis, the "support X or Y" messages, the jobs search, and more.
>"Share our food, Share our homes and Share our countries" is quite a big demand on everyone else. I am certainly not willing to do so without limit and without regard to context

Neither are a lot of the people who initially advocated for the policies, ie NYC, as we're finding out.

Immigration is great. Unfettered illegal immigration is not. It puts pressure on social infrastructure and causes social strife. Look at us here in Canada. Most of our immigration is legal, and yet our wealth-per-person is shrinking because we can't build infrastructure fast enough to keep up with population growth.
Use ChatGPT and Python. Get the kid their own ChatGPT Plus account (may need a cheap Android phone). Add Custom Instructions in the settings explaining that they are X years old and the job is to tutor them in programming. Make sure you teach them to always use GPT-4 with the Code Interpreter.

Start by watching them interact to see if you need to adjust the custom instructions. Initially review all of the sessions. Have the kid send you share links to the conversations and links to GitHub.

You will need to be strict about solving problems without asking for the AI to do the thinking for them. But with custom instructions and reading the chat transcripts, this should be feasible.

You could also look into ChatGPT-powered programming tutors in development at Khan Academy and other startups.
Yeah. The hardware is solid, but there's already been Chromebooks announced for this (or last) year's lineup with equal or better specs.

And the AI features smell a lot like "we literally have no idea what AI is good for, we'll just throw it at everything and see what sticks".
I see people get held up by the instances all the time. Not sure what's complicated about it, since it works exactly like email, but everybody seems to want there to be a single instance. They don't want to choose, as if it matters at all.
Doesn't the movie example provide a counterpoint? Some human interactions do scale - townspeakers, specifically do on Twitter, on Instagram. 1-1 discussions don't.

Is the point more that social media is mixing various human interactions into the same bucket of "online discourse", and mixing the two (1-1's vs town halls) makes it "something perverse"? It's like accidentally handing your friend a mic during your walk back from the movies.
> Checking the work takes the same resources as doing the work.
> As much as this would be wonderful in a universe where it's possible, it's simply not possible.

We do live in that universe, under some currently believed assumptions. An NP-complete problem is an example of something where checking a solution is (thought to be) easier than finding one.

Zero-knowledge proofs make it such that checking that a computation (such as inference) has been done correctly is easier than doing the computation (even keeping some parts private). A great reference is here: https://people.cs.georgetown.edu/jthaler/ProofsArgsAndZK.pdf

I have great respect for Apple's audio team but this isn't a small bug by any stretch.
Interesting that there aren't any ARM based systems that made the performance cut.
Rust Engineer – Halborn
It had a Z80 because CP/M was popular. They had a CP/M cartridge with a Z80 inside it, but it didn't work so Bil Hurd stuck the Z80 right in the machine instead (where it then became integral to patch up some other problems on starting the thing)

If it didn't have a Z80 it would have had nothing else instead.

If they decided on MS-DOS compatibility instead, if it sold well or not would depend on how cheap it was to compete with the rest of the clone market. No matter what it would have been a "stopgap" machine since things were moving so fast back then.

> Also 4 incompatible CD interfaces on the sound cards doesn't bode well.

Yeah, certainly in the beginning CD-ROM drives were marketed as a cornerstone to bring PC's into the "multimedia" age.

And thus eg. bundled with an audio card that doubled as a CD drive controller.

Only when they were more common, things like OSes, office suites etc came on CD by default.

Oh and... encyclopedia. :-)
Sad, I guess in 2023 sharing isn't caring.

It's a statement about immigrants being people, that the hateful stories we tell about them are false that we have responsibility to them as fellow humans. It advocates for no specific political action, you can hold these beliefs and still be against immigration for whatever reason.
I caught covid after getting vaccinated and I would not have even known I had it had a coworker not tested positive and I had to test to come back to the office. Symptoms were incredibly mild. A lot of people my age who weren't vaccinated ended up the in the ER. I never thought the vaccine would prevent disease, it was never claimed that the vaccine prevented catching covid, it always just reduced severity and mortality.
People have been burning coal for heat for millennia, and ingesting its carcinogenic particles. Does that mean we should continue doing it?
I think this post generally is good, but the diet stuff triggered me. Some table setting here, I can't stand daily food prep, I've done a 100% Soylent phase, I've done a 100% eating out phase, I've written apps to balance macronutrient ratios and plan meals, and I've written apps to balance both macro and micronutrient ratios/amounts and plan meals. I now essentially throw random stuff into an Instant Pot and hope for the best.

For almost everyone--and I hate to admit it but this group includes me--food is a core, irreplaceable pleasure. Even when just doing it alone, not even for social purposes. At this point, I'm receptive to arguments that it's the main thing that most people look forward to every day. You can set up all kinds of plans (read: diets) and tech to assist you in this experience, but I think if you live in the rich world, the primary goal of eating is to feel this pleasure, it is a major part of your pleasure life, and as a result these plans and this tech will only ever assist you in that endeavor. They will never be more than assistants, secondary to this goal.

Next, micronutrients are best ingested in whole food form. Multivitamins are literally a supplement, they really shouldn't be your primary source of micronutrients; unless you're willing to do lots of research, you really shouldn't submit yourself wholly to their vicissitudes. Not only are there micronutrients that can't be combined because they interfere in each others' absorption (iron and calcium are the most infamous for this but there are others), but only some multivitamins will actually show you the amounts that your body absorbs in the first place, and you have to know how to look for that (look for amounts in IUs basically, but that's not 100%). You also can't be sure you're not just eating coagulated sawdust, or worse straight up poison (if you think this is hyperbolic just google around).

It's also likely (though the research on this is pretty fuzzy) there are lots of negative microbiome implications for switching from a varied diet to a diet of soy pancakes and multivitamins.

This diet doesn't have enough of the various forms of fats (Omega 3/6/9s, not just sunflower oil). The only way to get here via supplement is to take them by the handful, which you shouldn't do, if only for cost reasons.

This diet really only has half the fiber content you need (the RDA for which is arguably pretty low, i.e. if you were eating RDAs for leafy greens and whole grains you'd easily exceed it). Add that to your list of supplements.

---

To totally argue against myself here, it might be hard to believe but I'm also open to the idea I've seen around that none of this stuff matters as much as research indicates, or at least we're missing something huge. The general idea is that humans have known basically nothing about nutrition for all of our existence--including right now--yet we have somehow thrived, so it seems like no matter what trash we jam into our digestive tracts our bodies find a way to make it work. This is obviously true up to a point, the question is up to what point exactly.
The ability to use natural language as an input to produce code isn't going to eliminate the profession. It will provide an onramp for learning, and allow civilians to learn easier (not faster necessarily) and automate some things themselves, which is a good thing.

An LLM is never going to be able to figure out what you need written, and bug-free code is a big ask, putting it mildly. Even structurally correct code is a bug if it doesn't actually do what you want. Someone still has to understand the problem domain, design an architecture to solve it, and verify that it does what it's supposed to do, this is a professional position, no way around it.

Where we are now, Copilot and friends are a nice assist for drudge work, a way to learn new libraries/APIs/languages, but a danger to beginners (you have to be able to proof the code it produces, it will still frequently make straightforward errors) and for experts it's less useful. As they improve I expect them to become an essential part of the profession, but they aren't actually able to replace it.
Chromebooks are good products for people who need to be on a budget. With Linux container support, a Chromebook can do anything, but not the best for software development.
Per year, they used the following scale in the questions: "The frequency of milk tea consumption was measured by the item, “In the past year, what was the average frequency of your milk tea consumption? (Lee et al., 2022)”. Item was rated on a 10-point Likert scale, coded as 1 = 3 cups per day, 2 = 2 cups per day, 3 = 1 cup per day, 4 = 4–6 cups per week, 5 = 2–3 cups per week, 6 = 1 cup per week, 7 = 2–3 cups per month, 8 = 1 cup per month, 9 = 6–11 cups per year, 10 = Almost never drink milk tea." The distribution of drinkers is shown in the figure: https://ars.els-cdn.com/content/image/1-s2.0-S01650327230108...
I think the idea is you are welcome to read it top to bottom or bottom to top. Whichever fits your needs.
This is a marketing/branding thing Google is starting this year. It isn't that the hardware is newer, it is that Google is trying to draw a line in the sand between the $159 machines and the $400 machines. Machines with a less than Core i3/Ryzen 7000 won't be branded as such, even if they come out next year. They want a buyer to walk into a store and see A $159 Chromebook and a $400 Chromebook Plus and have and idea that the money goes somewhere and gives you 'more'.
I don't find that example particularly compelling. To me it's more legible using regular strings:

"This is the playlist: " + ", ".join([
"Take me back to Eden", # My, my, those eyes like fire
"Alkaline", # Not acid nor alkaline
"Ascensionism", # Take to the broken skies at last
])"

> Unicode doubled down with composed Emojis.

Not just emojis, in general I believe Unicode has just said they're not going to add new pre-composed characters and that using combining characters is the Right Way™ to do things (well, the only way for newer scripts).

One of the downsides of writing down specifications is that they tend to attract people with Very Strong Opinions on the One And Only Right Way and will argue it to no end, and essentially "win" the argument just by sheer verbosity and persistence.

That's certainly what I've seen happen in a few cases, and is what happens on e.g. Wikipedia as well at times.

But yeah, emojis is even worse. Something things can look rather different depending on which invisible variation selector is present. We've got tons and tons of unassigned codepoints and we need to resort to these tricks to save a few of them?

Firefighter is "(man|woman|person) + ZWJ + firetruck". Clever, I guess. Construction worker is "Construction worker (+ ZWJ + (male sign|female sign))?" (absence is gender-neutral). Why are there 2 systems to encode this? Sigh...

All of this is too clever by a mile.

The price point of the i3 ~100 dollars, and the fact that most applications will not be CPU bound by an i3 are the driving factors. The clock speed is one thing, but the instruction sets really provide everything that's needed that would otherwise peg your cpu (notably quick sync, but also aesni, avx2.) It's a testament to bad software (minus games) if the thing you're running can't be handled by an i3 with ease.
I think something run by an organisation with its own rules and guidelines, can be run any way that organization sees fit.

Seriously? If your body is not private to you, then what's so particularly private about your communication?

That's not an answer to "how would they go about it if their goal was to actually combat child abuse, as opposed to some conspiracy to surveil that you imagine"

Exactly. It is what you think they think, not what they think, and such says more about your mind than theirs.
I'm not so sure about Coke or beer being worse. That sort of tea generally has just as much sugar as a can of coke (and the synthetic creamer is probably just as bad as the rest of what's in a coke). Both are quite unhealthy for you. Beer is a different beast altogether with both positive and negative properties.

In the end, the architecture and security (against non-Google adversaries) of ChromeOS trumps everything else for my personal use. And when maintaining things for nontechnical family, ChromeOS eliminates large classes of problems that everything else has.
Unicode is not locale-dependent, just mapping from graphemes to (font) glyphs is locale/font dependent.

For sure. Crypto people hate Sam.

A lot of crypto people knew he was unscrupulous and opposed him before FTX blew up. There were a lot of signs he was a bad person and the effective altruism thing was B.S.

But, pretty much nobody in crypto expected him to be the wholesale incompetent fraud he ended up being. We thought he was a bad guy, not a blood-chillingly evil moron.

It's nice to see the NYT shift to offer some reasonable coverage on Sam. One of the NYT reporters, David Yaffe-Bellany, is a good friend of Sam, spoke with him regularly even after he was apprehended, and routinely provided rose-colored puff pieces throughout his fall.
