There's a great fiction series called "The Regeneration Trilogy" in which the story of World War I is told from the perspective of W. H. R. Rivers, a real-life British psychiatrist who treated soldiers who returned from the front with "shell shock."

It's a great read on numerous fronts, and digs pretty deep into how soldiers were treated once they were back home.

Did you ever play with Realm.io? It had a ton of promise, and I loved the idea of “OOP API”, where objects write themselves to the database from your app.

My opinion is more nuanced now, but still it’s super cool.
Seconded, Pollen is outstanding if you only aim at online books.
This was the comment that made me go back and watch the video.

Interesting.

It of course has a lot of human elements to get at that association. The antennas as ears. Having eye-likes that can close. The tilting of the head is very good looking and I must say it holds itself well.
> Nobody is claiming the study models inflation, it's about homelessness.

Since most people are not homeless, I have no idea why you think this makes it reasonable to extrapolate anything from this study to the case of actual UBI.

> Basic Income is part of Universal Basic Income

Not if it's only given to the homeless.

Interesting point. So you're saying that censoring everyone's speech and permanently breaking E2E encryption is like a lock? That it sends a psychological message that CSAM is not allowed on the internet?

I don't think I agree. I think that would be more like having to hand the police a copy of the key for every lock you install.
BEV is hit and miss for Japan. For vehicle usage, it's great that we don't need to import oil from mideast (that is a big reason for trade deficit) and of course it's great for commute and non-long commercial usage. But it's not suitable for a big personal car use case. Japanese family can't take holidays as what they want, so they tend to do long trip in the same specific long holidays (new year, Golden week, Obon, Silver week), that needs tremendous amount of fast charging equipment at highway or need to wait multiple hours after BEVs sold well. So theoretically PHEV should be good option but manufacturers hadn't sold it much (except Mitsubishi). It's hard to install slow charger for mechanical parking system that is common in dense cities.

For vehicle manufacturing, there's very less advantage to make BEVs in Japan, meanwhile China is too strong. Car manufacturing is a big industry so shrinking it causes Japan economy to be dead. Toyota cares Japan economy (cared in a bad way, hydrogen for car). IMO they should had promoted PHEV more in 2012-2015.
I meant what I said, and also what you said is correct, too.

Indeed, effectively untrue means untrue for all intents and purposes (including even seriously discussing), and both the teapot and the fighting staircase theory are equally: untrue, effectively untrue, practically untrue, and any other semantic game you wish to play around the word untrue, for the same reason as each other. They have an equal amount of evidence of their truth, after all.
Every single metric on the business side supports those “not real gamers” being worth far more than the self identified gaming enthusiasts that balk at paying more than $60 for a AAA title for 30 years straight
Logic Pro has a plugin for this. Been years since I used it, but I think it was called a “formant shifter” or something to that effect
A few months ago I listened to Casino Royale (narrator Dan Stevens, pretty good) and was kind of bummed at just how poorly it read. It's an OK story with very middling language, badly in need of an editor especially around the end. I was surprised that it received so much popularity when written. But maybe it only could get popular at the time, when the English were in need of a certain kind of hero.

I decided to re-read (via audiobook) my favorite John Le Carre novel, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (narrator Michael Jayston, one of the best audiobook performances I have ever listened to). So wildly different to have them back-to-back. It made me appreciate Le Carre all the more.

Speaking of audiobooks, Le Carre's own memoir The Pigeon Tunnel: Stories from My Life is read by himself and is a must-listen if you like his books. To hear him tell his own tales, with his own accents for the people in his life, definitely one of the cases where the audiobook format is superior.
Assuming you mean replication (as defined in https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/warm-standby.html#ST... or https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/logical-replication....), then PostgreSQL has it (see those docs for details).

> C isn't brainfuck.

I never said it was.

I specifically contrasted the two, saying that C is easier to build an application in than Brainfuck would be. Because it is. That means I think they're different, not the same.

> A thing about language is that nobody controls it, not even Microsoft

Even Microsoft calls it the system tray (see as an example https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/a...)

That guy's got a problem with his entire company, and their documentation. If he can't get over it, he should clean house first and only then try to police what the rest of the world calls it. As long as MS insists that it's the system tray, people are going to call it that no matter what his team wishes it were called instead. Renaming systray.exe would be a good first step.
It would be easier if the lines demarcating groups were drawn according to their behavior and not according to their cultural group. For example, criminals and innocents are a pair of groups with obvious perpetrator-victim relationships, while "likes star trek" and "does not like star trek," a way to group the exact same set of individuals, is impossible to pick a side on. Could you imagine how impossible it would be to have a peaceful society if people said things like, "a Trekkie stole the tape deck out of my car?"

Sadly there are places in the world, a lot of them in Africa, where nobody can look beyond their superficial traits to classify criminals apart from their victims.
As much as I half-wish there was something like this, it does sound like email spam blacklists all over again.

Why?

We support a non-decorator API (the static properties block), but I don't think it's particularly ergonomic compared to decorators which allow us to declarative modify standard class fields.

Decorators work better with type systems, which don't have to be taught about our bespoke property declaration convention, and they're coming natively to JS so they won't require compilers.
You're right. My fault.
I agree that using C safely and correctly requires a bunch of skill and experience, and that perhaps makes the sense of "easy" untrue: it's hard to use C well.

I was thinking more of your second sense.
Thanks for testing it out. That's an interesting bug I didn't expect! Will try to address in a future upgrade
I'm so glad that I just stumbled across this comment. I'm a career military officer who has served on big, upper-echelon staffs that were stunningly disorganized and dysfunctional. You nailed it with this description of how things really work.

I always said that people were busy - there was a frenzy activity - but nothing ever got done until someone very senior (i.e the commanding general or one of his deputy commanders) stepped in, like you said, and made a decision from his gut that a particular thing needed to get done, and then everybody would actively work on that one thing and nobody's work would be blocked. Eventually I realized that the game for stakeholders was all about getting their things into a decision briefing for the commander to make that happen.
Yup, I failed by not actually reading past the first few sentences.

> Like how a model picks up on when we explain something to it after it has been trained.

Models don't learn by you telling them something, the model doesn't update itself. A human updates their model when you explain how something works to them, that is the main way we teach humans. Models don't update themselves when we explain how something works to them, that isn't how we train these models, so the model isn't learning its just evaluating. It would be great if we could train models that way, but we can't.

> Humans learn vast amounts of information from examples.

Yes, but to understand things in school those examples comes with an explanation of what happens. That explanation is critical.

For example, a human can learn to perform legal chess moves in minutes. You tell them the rules each piece has to follow and then they will make legal moves in almost every case. You don't do it by showing them millions of chess boards and moves, all you have to do is explain the rules and the human then knows how to play chess. We can't teach AI models that way, this makes human learning and machine learning fundamentally different still.

And you can see how teaching rules creates a more robust understanding than just showing millions of examples.
I love it. 2 Ideas:

You should upload a massively complicated where's waldo like scene and have waldo appear in different places each hour.

Have a portrait with lots of subtle details but they change slowly over time. Ex. girl goes from earing-less to small earings to big earings. Just have lots of small details subtly change but at a rate which makes them hard to detect.

I'd be fascinated to learn what a previous employer will do with all the vbscripts I wrote on Windows XP to drive various things of theirs. They have to maintain things for 20 to 30 years and they are basically snapshots in time. When I was there in the mid 00s they still had a Windows 95 test bench that ran software that only worked there. So I guess there's my answer: they'll keep the Win XP boxes around as long as they need to.
The feeling I get when I run into cool software that only runs on Mac.
What about JScript? Is that on the chopping block too?
Started using EarPods (the wired ones) lately, love it. No charging, no signal issues, cost $24 so no stress about losing them. The future.
I mean, I don't think we really invented safety regulations. I am not sure if a regulation existed that could have allowed the HRT to be built safely with the technology of the time.

I think technology is inherently linked with standard of living which is inherently linked to the value of a life.
No... A passkey is specific to a context (RP), which is why they're not stored on things like Yubikeys (which I think a lot of people in this thread are confused about -- the keying material on the Yubikey isn't enough to create the passkey).

Your Netflix passkey is not the same as your passkey to other services. It's generated as soon as you enroll the passkey with Netflix (by calling "navigator.credentials.create()") and is identified by an opaque handle and also the public key (this is important, because you never get the public key again so you must keep both of these: the ID, and the Public Key, otherwise you can't verify a challenge-response, since you're only given an ID and a Digital Signature at that point).

For a site to use a passkey it calls "navigator.credentials.get({ publicKey: { challenge: ..., rpId: "<same_id_as_used_when_creating_like_netflix.com>" }, mediation: "silent" })"

Which returns the key ID and a signed version of the challenge, or an error.

Everywhere you authenticate you have one or more keys, identified by these opaque handles which are stored in the User Agent and associated with some mechanism for performing digital signatures with that unique key. The User Agent, generally, has to store and distribute this information if you want to use the same passkey across multiple devices -- even if you're using a Yubikey (because, again, it's not storing the key being used for the digital signature, it's storing a private key which is used in the process of generating the digital signature, but not the passkey's actual private key -- i.e., the secret part of the public key generated earlier)

VBS is basically VBA without any of the typing/early binding, i.e. everything is a Variant.

I seem to recall a couple of other pesky nuances.

One thing I thought was a win decades ago in the ASP/pre-jQuery days was being able to tell where the code would execute based upon language.vVBSsript on the server; JS in the browser.

JS seems like an out-of-body experience as it is.
I rarely come out and post on HN, but I couldn't resist.

First off, congratulations on the launch!

I am doing some work around Python tracing using eBPF tools and spending a lot time reading about CPython interpreter and runtime implementation. I came across this Polar Signals blog post[0] last week. Fantastic, fantastic work! I learned a ton about Python internals in just a few minutes that I had completely missed even after reading the code for days. This post also set a benchmark for technical writing for me.

Huge kudos for all the great work! And thank you for sharing all these out!

Because in a non hybrid there is a very noticeable delay as the engine starts.

> virtual OS-platform to run games indefinitely

They encourage windows games to bundle old and insecure dlls, which the games generally did anyway. On windows, they don't really do anything here, it's mostly just that windows provides quite a bit of backwards compatibility anyway.

On linux, they do a bit more. They ship a hacked up copy of various libraries from ubuntu 12.04, mostly without security patches, and have the games use those, calling it the "steam runtime" despite it really being "ancient ubuntu libraries". They reduce the security of your machine, and I would only play steam games on a burner machine you don't login to your bank accounts on.
People severely underestimate how powerful the gaming economy is.

Gaming is what made Windows dominate personal computing - not Word, Excel or Powerpoint.

Gaming is what drives new hardware development, is what drives new personal computer ownership, and is what drives operating system preference.

For everyone else - a 10 year old computer does the job just fine... and it doesn't really matter what OS it happens to run.

Imagine if Apple had made it a point to dominate gaming too. Suddenly the folks spending $2-5K on a top of the line gaming machine would be forking it over for the latest generation of $5k Apple Desktops.
Your wife's experience sounds very bad and the risk of getting locked out of your various accounts is serious.

That doesn't mean giving up on having good security, though. Passkeys don't work like eSims and other users' situations might not be the same. Their failure modes will be different. They might have more than one device (like a phone and a tablet), or they might not use MS Authenticator for their email, or they might have set up different recovery methods?

We need more backups and user education, which ideally would include rehearsing account recovery before it's actually necessary.
No because if it always produces a deterministic image it's just lookup table. The whole point is that it's generative ai, not a way to burn all the computational power to generate some summary statistics
Who is going to do the math and figure out how long you need to hypothetically have these screens on before the power costs of the TV actually make up the $2360 difference in price?
Limp mode is so annoying. “Car can go to 3k rpm no more.”
Yes, the security industry is probably going to shift massively to Passkeys over the next few years. Phishing is a massive issue for enterprise security, and Passkeys basically completely fix it.

IMO, this also means the problems with Passkeys will get fixed pretty quickly. And given I can already store my Passkey in 1Password and then use it on every device I currently use (including Firefox on mac/windows and iOS Safari), it's honestly not a huge problem.

I think passwords are a much bigger problem for people. Simple/re-used passwords are still incredibly common-place, and too many people don't realize how big of a problem that is. Once you incorporate a password manager so that you don't need to remember passwords... Passkeys via a password manager should be even easier to use, given you don't have to rely on browser extensions auto-detecting input fields.
Maybe that might be worth regulating, but there aren't many actual race cars around.

Does anyone know why such machines aren't being used to create artificial rivers? It seems civilization and therefore economic activity follows where fresh water sources are. And there is already a problem in the US west with water shortage.
Having read revelation myself, the reconstruction of the temple in Jerusalem is a technical prerequisite for the antichrist, because it said he would desecrate the temple, being a prophecy about a nasty dude.

If any Christians out there want to deliberately create the conditions for the antichrist to desecrate the temple so that the rapture can happen sooner and the world can end, to be honest, that is crazy even within a system of faith. On those grounds I don't believe that it could possibly be a mainstream belief.
In a similar vein, scientists discovered T-Rex fossils that had bone marrow that was gellified, something that was supposed to be impossible. They could see blood cells and other structures.

I've been waiting for 10+ years for followup but haven't heard anyting about it. Does anyone have any updates to that? Were they able to dig up any other information from that discover?
It is infinitely more than the number of iPhone apps that have not recieved updates in 6-8 years that are still runnable. Even mac apps will often have trouble in that kind of time frame.

You're also the one who expected "all" to work cross gen. My original point was just that "all" would work on the software for a given piece of hardware that worked on the original hardware. The fact that 99.9% also work on the next gen is a bonus, because the same gen compatibility already leaves Apple's backwards compatible story in the sand.
Check with any of the nearby college/university business programs for the names of Angel funding groups or programs. They will have a lot of them handy.
You forgot no audio quality.
Note that I said “supported properly” above. In addition to the very high number of bugs in Apple's implementation, the fact that it is officially deprecated sends a message to anyone wanting to do new development on MacOS “don't invest in OpenGL now as we could pull the rug under your feet” and it's done on purpose to push developers to Metal.

So now they can only blame themselves if they're losing games because the developer doesn't want to invest in Metal either.

Agreed, I'm no stranger to Linux, and also use a MacBook for work, but when I come home I just want to play a bit of Diablo 4 or whatever and chill. I would have switched years and years ago.

Got hooked on Microsoft as early as the DOS days by playing games as a kid. They earned a customer for life indirectly there. Maybe Adobe helped a bit too.
There's tons of alternatives. BSON, CBOR, and protobuf are three arbitrary ones.
Well yeah modern day engineering projects are of course planned and built differently. Back in Brunel's day it wasn't unheard of for bridges to collapse outright or to be deliberately overengineered to the extent that they'd probably not be funded today (see the Forth Bridge as an example)

If it were not for clunky game support, the day of the Linux desktop would have arrived decades ago.
It seems like culturally, we’ve mostly gotten over the difference between fact and fictional idiocy. The movie Naked Gun had a plot against the Queen, for example, and we don’t have any reservations.

Sometime in the 90s, there was some clever new method to generate media that was right between fact and fiction, that led to Jerry Springer and other shows, where you had to make up your own mind whether it was real or fake. Cops, MTV reality shows, celebrity entertainers, Judge Judy, etc.

It’s all totally fake. Now we have AI which is really just repeating back stuff it’s prompted and we’re wondering if psychos are going to really go insane. This could be so much worse than reality TV.
I thought ebay has a policy against selling human body parts. I recall it from the (probably fabricated) story of someone attempting to sell their soul on the site, and being told it's against one of two separate rules depending on if the item for sale is real.

If you haven't documented it, it's a good reminder others may have the same question and answering it will either lead the to the same conclusion or other questions you did not think of.
