First things first: it's Meetup dot com. It's a commercial product owned by a commercial entity. It's not a community service.

Second, nothing replaced it, at least not in the Bay Area for tech meetups. It had a few shaky years under erratic WeWork ownership, and then COVID dealt it a killing blow.

I really think people used to go to Meetup events to catch up with acquaintances and eat the free pizza. They were like low-pressure parties where you could talk to strangers about something you cared about. Most Meetup groups that went to Zoom had huge drops in attendance, because being on a call with strangers is awkward, puts everyone on the spot, and is generally not fun at all.

I think IRL tech meetups can still come back, but I think a lot fewer companies are willing to host. I've spoken to several organizers of small tech enthusiast groups that I care about; they absolutely hate the online format and are desperately searching for IRL options. I go to an IRL AI/ML event that moves around startup offices in SF; they have overwhelming interest and have to turn away 2/3 of the people that sign up, because they just don't have the capacity.

What's left on Meetup:

- dead groups that stopped scheduling events years ago

- groups that are managed by tech companies (in spaces like Web3) that organize events that sound general-interest, but are actually promoting their own services and solutions, and usually fold after 1-2 events

- non-sponsored tech enthusiast groups that run events on Zoom and get like 3-4 attendees per event

My takeaway is that online-only is absolute poison for organizing events where people can meet each other, and IRL is heavily blocked on companies willing to host events and feed people free pizza. All the IRL stuff I've been to this year has been attended and overattended, but there just aren't as many events compared to 5 years ago.
Does the prior version or the new version determine whether a change is a breaking change?
Also modules are finally now available in all of MSVC, g++ and clang++: https://www.reddit.com/r/cpp/comments/16y9qv2/cmake_c_module...
Usually programs hit the limits of float32 or float64. A float64 has a around a 10 to the minus 16 precision to play with (53 bit significand) so you can hit the zoom limit with little effort.

There are various techniques to go further (obviously one is just to use arbitrary precision arithmetic, another is for example perturbation theory[1])

And there are plenty of "infinite" (or at least some arbitrarily huge level) zoom viewers. You can find videos of zooms going into 10 to the power of thousands. The deeper you go the longer the calculations take.

Statically typed languages in the 90s had a reputation for being verbose (like Java’s Cat = new Cat()), or difficult to work with (like C’s manual memory management). Haskell and other ML family languages hadn’t quite gotten that popular. Type inference wasn’t a feature in many popular statically typed languages until recently. And type inference makes static typing significantly easier.

The P in the LAMP stack is still a bit of a mystery to me. It could (one could wish) have been Haskell instead, but oh well.
Technically, yes, but not much to find there :)

It's user-hostile UX, but to mask the hostility the GPS can say "Starbucks on your route is offering 10% off bagels, for the next 10 minutes!". And similarly for the grocery store, "try Kwik-E-Mart and get a free treat!"
Thanks, looks really interesting. Do functions like matmul support inputs of differing type, like say A=int8 and B=float? Would be nice if you could get memory efficient quantized matmul with operator fusion.
As an alternative to your anecdote I pirated media heavily from my teens into my mid 20s. Then I graduated college, got a job, and streaming came out.

I basically stopped piracy entirely because it was pointless at that point. It was reasonably priced and easy. The only time I pirated things was when I wanted something niche that wasn’t available on platforms. Like an art house film with weird distribution rights or an mtv cartoon from the early 2000s with the original soundtrack that still can’t be released that way because the song clearances aren’t happening

But now it’s like $60+ a month for Netflix/hulu/disney+/peacock. A lot of the time they don’t have what I want, that’s on paramount plus, appletv, max, crunchy roll, etc and I’m not spending another $20+ a month to add yet another. They almost all have intrusive advertisements that get longer and longer. The ads are somehow worse than cable because they can’t seem to sell the ad space. I only seem to get the same 4-5 ads over and over which is torture. The apps are all ugly with awful ui/ux and the library organization is completely arbitrary. There is rarely an ability to filter or sort the library and they are always loaded with filler content to pad the numbers.

So a decade or so later I’m strongly considering a media server. It was plex last time but I think jellyfin now. Better ui/ux than streaming apps, better video quality, better library sorting, no ads, and all I need is relatively cheap hardware and a Usenet subscription. This wasn’t worth the bother when the alternative was $20/mo for Netflix/hulu.

Consider music piracy too. I can’t ever see myself pirating music again even though I grew up in the Napster era where downloading mp3s was entirely normalized and the thing to do. But the idea of downloading albums, ensuring I get the correct quality, they have correct album art/id3 tags, etc for the amount of music I listen to is a goddamn chore. I would much rather just pay Apple Music. They don’t have these issues. They don’t have fragmented libraries. They don’t force ads even though I already pay them. They don’t hide half the library behind “curated content”. Its not 100% perfect by any means. Sometimes I get censored songs, sometimes I can’t find remixes, alt takes, or live versions I want, etc. but 99% of the time it does what I want and it’s just easier than managing my own library. Unless they fuck this up I will never pirate music again. Tv/movie companies don’t seem to get this.
I actually wrote a whole post about that exact use case using Tork: https://dev.to/acoh3n/lets-build-a-code-execution-engine-4kg...

Would really appreciate if you can respond to the survey. As an indie developer for bookmarking tool, saving websites using links works well, but it comes with limits. A lot of time you want to highlight something or put comment on something specific to remember. Is it just me?
You've misunderstood the nature of desperation. People doing those things are absolutely desperate - for a dopamine hit, for love or intimacy or community, for something to do with their time that is meaningful (losing all your money is certainly meaningful).

No one who has those things - and recognizes it - settles for bottom-barrel surrogates like the ones you've listed. Someone who is starved for them absolutely will.
It's actually quite common to use the major version of semver for API versioning. Users of the API don't get to choose minor and patch versions though, they also don't need to because there's no breaking changes in them (ideally :) ).
This is 100% in line my reading of the submission.

Also noting that the page contains seventeen thousand words. That many words of harry potter take an average person 70 minutes to read. This text is no harry potter: it's chock-full of numbers, things to consider, and words and phrasings to weigh (like when quoting NIST), so you're not going to read it as fast as an average book, if you know enough about PQC to understand the text in the first place.

I even got nerdsniped near the beginning into clicking on "That lawsuit has been gradually <revealing> secret NIST documents, shedding some light on what was actually going on behind the scenes". That page (linked by the word <revealing>) is another 54000 words. Unaware, due to not having a scroll bar on mobile (my fault, I know), I started skimming it linearly to see what those revelations might be. Nothing really materialized. At some point I caught on that I seemed to have enrolled for a PhD research project and closed that tab to continue reading the original page...

Most HN readers, who are often smart and highly technical but in various fields, cannot reasonably weigh and interpret the techobabble evidence for "nist=bad". Being in an adjacent field, I would guess that I understand more than the average reader, but still don't feel qualified to judge this material without really giving it a thorough read. The page reasonably gives context and explains acronyms, but there's just so much of it that I can't imagine anyone who doesn't already know would want to bother with it. Not everyone understanding a submission is okay, but this is about accusations, and that makes me feel like it is not a good submission for HN.
Just to follow up on the above replies, you could also just build a single package. For example, you could build asynchronous_union_find with `bazel build //in_memory/connected_components:asynchronous_union_find`. (This isn't very useful outside of the context of a cc_binary rule.)

This in turn allows you to only build and use the 'package' you care about without having to build the whole repo in other projects. Continuing on the above example, if you only wanted to use the asynchronous_union_find.h header file in your project, somewhere in your WORKSPACE file, you add the graph-mining library using a git_repository rule (see WORKSPACE.bazel for examples), and in a cc_library rule in a BUILD file inside your project, you can add a `@graph-mining//in_memory/connected_components:asynchronous_union_find`. Then you can include it as a header elsewhere. Building your project then only builds that package and its dependencies, and not the entire graph-mining library.
This is very silly. Highly dependent alcoholics are all around us every day, and very few of them are living on the streets. They will shorten their lives, on average, but cirrhosis isn't an assassin that comes in the night after 10 years of alcoholism. There are millions of old drunks in the world. Most of them buy their own booze with their own labor.

And indeed, if you are rich enough or have enough clout to avoid police problems, you can be a heroin addict for decades. You can even stay productive. Take for instance, The Rolling Stones.

I don't even feel the need to debate that the primary and secondary effects of legal alcohol addition are huge and expensive.

It's not gonna happen. Labor costs determine the price of restaurant meals way more than wholesale food costs do. Those have gone up and probably are not ever coming back down; wages are a one-way ratchet in all but the most extreme circumstances.
Western liberals don't mind forcing people to live in those conditions as long as they're not white and left out of sight. They throw a tantrum every time Israel builds temporary housing for bedouins, for example.

> People saying Unity was not a good choice because it's closed source and controlled by one private company were laughed off as ideologues.

I kinda feel like including what Unity pulled recently in your "private company threat model" is a bit overkill - I'm generally comfortable assuming that private companies aren't going to do something quite that self destructive and braindead.

Based on prior behaviour I wouldn't trust anything google develops to not get canned within a year or two, I'm very weary of anyone trying to monetize open source projects, and building a business on top of someone else's saas product seems pretty risky.

But commercially licensed development tooling that I'm using to produce my own binaries is pretty low on my list of concerns - most companies aren't as bugfuck insane as Unity's current management seems to be.

And just using some closed source product for which the switching cost is effectively zero (for me - see other comment in this thread about chat being ephemeral) seems like a no brainer.

If it makes you happy we can add in ".. except for soaps" in the ruling... /s

For a real life example, the major grocery chain in Australia (Woolworths) did this with milk, selling their brand for $1 a litre, where everyone else had to do $2+ just to break even.

Effectively selling it at a loss so that they get market dominance. They make up the loss on other products in their big chain.

I think there needs to be a break-up between "the retailer" and their home brand being sold there, because it means the profits made on selling the competition works to the home brand advantage.
To clarify: when you say "just uses a command line tool" you mean "uses a program by starting it in the normal way in anther process and communicates via its human interface". No calling into its image.

I believe the general strategy for this kind of product is to drive CX conversion. Amazon usually offers auto repurchase too, so if you are going to buy once and Amazon is cheaper, the second time too..., by the third you might actually decide to setup a auto purchase from time to time. if they discount 5 cents from the best competitor initially and in the long run they start to price 10 above, they use this to finance similar strategy to convert more CX and then they keep a more strong market position. In the end you don't push your competitors out of the market, but consolidate a very strong consumer base.
that's insane, 5-7mm?
I agree with Carmack's take.
This could be a leading indicator for a slow down in real estate.
This is the result when I asked GPT-4 to write "a new, original passage in latin which is inspired by Del Rio's style. Make the Latin elegant and lucid, with witty turns of phrase," then asked Claude to translate it back to English. I am no Latin expert, but I know enough to say that this is clearly lucid, makes sense -- though overwrought -- and has no glaring errors. I will ask my classicist friends to weigh in on the matter of style though.

GPT-4 improvising:
"Quemadmodum divini philosophi docent, mysteria naturae introrsus latitant, neque enim sine causa Democritus 'naturam rerum' dixit esse clausam in occulto. Verum, si Angelorum bonorum opera ut in Psalmis celebratur, 'Benedicite, omnes Angeli Domini, Domino,' quo pacto maleficae entitates—daemones scilicet—invisibiles nec tamen inactiones sunt? Mihi consentaneum videtur quod Tertullianus et Ambrosius prodiderunt, angeli esse nuntios divinos, sed daemonas esse nuntios corruptionis. Ne confundamus! Nam verbum 'daemon' Graecis non semper malum significat, sed Romanis—o mores!—semper sinistram portendit.

In huius argumenti speculo, miror qua de causa daemones semper in tenebris vel in locis desertis, vel in nocturna silentia se abscondant. An non, ut Seneca loquitur, 'magna vis veritatis est, quae se per se defendet'? Atqui daemones a veritate abhorrent, quasi nox a lucem fugiat.

Ergo, si volumus a daemonum insidiis nosmetipsos protegere, debemus, ut Virgilius canit, 'forsan et haec olim meminisse juvabit,' non oblivisci quod lux aeterna sit telum acerrimum contra tenebras. Haec ita dicam, et iam concludo: sicut angeli ad caelum pertinent, sic daemones ad abyssum—et utrique suum locum noverunt. Caveamus igitur ne, dum caelum quaerimus, abyssum inveniamus."

Claude translation: "As the divine philosophers teach, the mysteries of nature lie hidden within, for not without reason did Democritus call nature 'enclosed in the dark'. Yet, if by the work of good Angels as celebrated in the Psalms, 'Bless the Lord, all you Angels of the Lord,' in what manner are evil entities—namely demons—invisible yet not inactive? It seems fitting to me what Tertullian and Ambrose handed down, that angels are divine messengers, but demons are messengers of corruption. Let us not confuse the two! For the word 'daemon' does not always signify something evil for the Greeks, but for the Romans—oh the times!—it always portends something sinister.
In the mirror of this argument, I wonder for what reason demons always hide themselves in shadows or deserted places or the silences of the night. Does not, as Seneca says, 'truth have great power, which will defend itself'? Yet demons shrink from the truth, as the night flees from the light.
Therefore, if we wish to protect ourselves from the snares of demons, we must, as Virgil sings, 'perhaps one day it will please us to remember these things,' not forget that eternal light is the sharpest weapon against the darkness. I will say this much, and now conclude: just as angels belong to heaven, so demons belong to the abyss—and both know their proper places. Let us beware, therefore, lest while seeking heaven we find the abyss."
Google search has a horrible tendency to do the same thing to my search terms. Autocorrect is (usually) great when typing on a touch screen but it's horrible when it decides it knows what I mean better than I do.

> The argument is the model may have recreated the story of Harry Potter from being fed so much information about it.

It may contain enough information to recreate it, but is that the same thing?

Suppose you're a major blog platform and everybody's blog contains the data the model was trained on, i.e. enough to recreate the story of Harry Potter if you were to read them all and then be asked to summarize it or write fan fiction. If your company isn't infringing the book's copyright, why would the model be? It certainly contains no more information than it was trained on.

The output might be infringing, in the same way as a person who read all the blogs to learn the story could write something that was. But the output isn't the model.

I am surprised this is a "first" -you would think across the history of pre-party and post party politics and factionalism the numbers would have worked out to make this happen before now.

There is much which could be said about the situation, I'm just more intrigued this hasn't cropped up before. A lot of "firsts" have a "downhill, on a tuesday, with the wind behind them" feel but being the first to be thrown out by a cross party vote against the majority wishes of your own side, so a cross-party decision from a fringe wing willing to do it, thats .. pretty unusual, but surely in times past there were speakers sufficiently divisive people came close?
I had a bad trip, and wasn't the same for three years afterward (in a very specific way that didn't significantly alter the trajectory of my life, thankfully.). Still have echos of it about a decade later. LSD is not a toy and should be respected. I am of the opinion that it would be legal but only when be dispensed by a licensed professional, and it would be required to have a trip sitter. Not that I think that could realistically work, or be practical with where we're at currently.
Very nice! What are some things you’ve used it for in your home automation?
I think the article makes a point that is overlooked:

>After years of economic crisis, Portugal decentralized its drug oversight operation in 2012. A funding drop from 76 million euros ($82.7 million) to 16 million euros ($17.4 million) forced Portugal’s main institution to outsource work previously done by the state to nonprofit groups, including the street teams that engage with people who use drugs. The country is now moving to create a new institute aimed at reinvigorating its drug prevention programs.

Can't decriminalize drugs if you stop funding drug treatment programs and chuck it all onto underfunded NGOs who have their own motivations.
The embedding method that nearly all LLM's use puts them at a severe disadvantage because they can't 'see' the spelling of common words. That makes it hard to infer things like 'past tense words end with an e'.
