I agree and I grew up very broke for much longer than that.

Did I have to recover from and undo a lot of bullshit? Of course!

The unfortunate part is how many people have the attitude of leaning on an external source of inspiration and always making excuses. I'm not saying it's easy, but there are too many for whom it never clicks that whatever circumstances they were born, this is their only shot at life, fair or not.

Personal responsibility and constitution is far more powerful than the supposed forces at work making "free will an illusion". Give me a fucking break. Goddamn so many people on here need to grow the fuck up! How much worse it must have been for so many not so long ago.
afaik there are no humid saunas nearly that hot. You'd have a miserable time in there and even breathing would hurt like hell.

Except that shaders predate DirectX 8 by several decades.

Two major examples,

Also in DirectX 8, it wasn't as we know them today, because Assembly was the only programming language.

Nowadays CUDA does C, C++, Fortran, Python JIT in the box, and has partner collaborations for Haskell, Java, Julia, C#.
That's really insightful, thank you! I didn't even consider that pouring a glass of water would be a challenge or that the common solution is an electrode.
> I make six figures, never bought a new car in my life and don't ever plan to. Most I've paid is $19K.

Yes, I'm in your demographic. Most I've ever paid for a car (a rare new one) was 20K. Nearly every car I've had (in over 30 years of having cars), I've bought for less than 10K.

I like cars and driving. But cars are a depreciating asset. Never worth spending much on. Buy the cheapest used one you can find.
Yeah, and looney toons are bullying apologists, pokemon is child endangerment and animal cruelty, batman beats people instead of creating a better world with his money...

We're heading into a future where text is generated by language models, then other language models are used to generate summaries for human consumption. We will drown in AI bullshit and then use more AI to try and extract the meaningful kernel.
The porta-power ones you can see the physical USB data connections are absent, so probably safe even if free. But for anything else with those connections still there, free or paid, I'd be suspicious, unless I cut the data wires myself.
It’s not just Google. The idea of a search engine leading to web pages with useful information itself has existed long enough to be gamed to the bottom. A new paradigm has to emerge and take over. The LLMs seem like the first real viable alternative but I feel like we are still in the lycos days of this paradigm.
> AI can now read through SEO fluff text and ads and present the user with the information they are looking for.

So? Google can do that too. They just choose not to, for profit reasons.

AI can (presumably) also do that. But will AI companies instead choose profit? Of course they will.

I think Tesla may start losing money soon. Sales are down, new quality issues are found every day and the company is involved in 100+ lawsuits.

I don't know about Ford, but most other major companies are only "losing" money because they have started a new vehicle platform and need a year or two to get the development costs back. Compared to previous CE platforms they are actually doing much much better.
It does feel likes this is straight out of a Silicon Valley episode.
This is exactly what Transformers were in the 1980s: pre-existing Japanese toys whose existence had nothing to do with the retconned “Autobots vs. Decepticons” cartoon plot. That was invented to drive the toys into the American market.

Oh, that's brilliant, wish I could attend. The Partisans are the only one I recognise and used to listen to a bit. There's a whole list of Welsh punk bands on RateYourMusic, so maybe I'll rediscover some of them. Would likely have to be on YouTube, through fan rips...

I don't understand this. We were free-to-play, but it was not unstructured. Quite the opposite, you had to be somewhere on time, in a heirarchy or school structure and there were teacher imposed rules.

I miss that heirarchy more than I'd care to admit. The endless cycles of milking the good while it's good, is an offensive and time wasting replacement for what used to be a well-timed culture.

It is deeply humorous to see fear of traffic and crime listed as a valid reason to keep kids inside. When you list fear of data leaks as a valid reason for privacy from surveillance, people discount you. So much emotional picking and choosing lately.

Parentalism is destroying the West, make no mistake, "security" is a massively overrated parasite, sucking the life out of it's inhabitants. Get off my back.
We have a secure computing environment, it's called process isolation and it's provided by the kernel.

That's true of Transformers a bunch of other shows. Sometimes it's good
Except that saying "1.5 years ago" with a decimal would be 1 year and 6 months ago, and you won't want to do the conversions from a base 10 to base 12 for the month. Just write "October 21, 2020"
We are usually not aware of the degree in which Classical and Medieval thought provided the foundations of our modern world. For example, the concept that the universe can be studied by human reason and described with mathematics started as a philosophical/religious idea.

> standard 60 month loan

That's.... crazy!

Car loans should be no more than 3 years.

But really, to be responsible, only ever buy a car with cash on hand. If you need a loan, find a cheaper car until you don't need a loan.

Once I bought a car with a loan but only because the manufacturer had a 0% interest offer.
Your final paragraph is in conflict with the last sentence of your third paragraph.

I think for all of these things to be congruent you need to be implying some kind of moral or personal weakness which doesn't come from the environment which occurs more frequently in poorer circumstances, which doesn't seem as likely as the causality being the other way around.

Feel like I also need to qualify this with the obligatory I grew up poor and am not anymore and I think...
GPU Open: Work graphs API – compute rasterizer learning sample

Now that DRM are part of the web standards, and TPM are generalized, it's game over.

I predict youtube will escalate this way:

- Pump up aggressive anti ad block measures.

- It will fail, so they will enforce DRM so that they have control.

- It will not be enough, so they will ask to only serve DRM to "trusted browsers".

- And it will not suffice, so the trusted browser will have to run on a trusted OS checked by hardware.

That will work since almost nobody will take the risk to jailbreak their expensive device.

And we will all have lost.
But then my peers and I watched literally hundreds of episodes of this show (not because we liked it, but because there were only 3 channels to choose from) and we never mimicked any of that behaviour further than regular dumb kid play violence.

What has changed?
What was it about the internet being five big sites filled with screenshots from the other four…? Let’s turn that up to 11.
I feel like the problem though is that people don’t trust their community, and they don’t trust that the kids will be safe.

If the child’s playground is right next to a block of houses and shops with people walking around all day, it is much less likely that the child is taken away. Whether it’s actually safer, I’m not entirely sure, but it definitely feels safer to have your kid playing near a busy pedestrian area, compared to an abandoned playground down a quiet road at 4pm. And the feeling is what matters regardless.

And that is a big part, but also just the feeling of trusting your neighbors increases when you live in a walkable place and see your neighbors all the time. [0] That source isn’t maybe the most thorough, but it echoes my experience of moving to a quiet but walkable neighborhood in the Netherlands from the US. People really do trust their neighbors much more here, and I’ve changed in that regard too. Everyone is always offering to help each other out.

This one is easy to mitigate, so I'll continue being paranoid about it, thanks.
Yeah. If we can “solve” AI and make systems that develop genuine knowledge, then we will be okay. But that may never happen and we may find ourselves stuck at the current “bullshit generator” phase and if that happens the internet is absolutely fucked.
The sites with actually useful information don't care about AI anyway. There's no way in which LLM being trained or used on them hurts them - if anything, it helps the information become more widely available (which is the goal of such sites anyway). If anything, this reduces the load on the site and expense of hosting it - which is a good thing.

Such sites would only be hurt if they somehow derived benefit from marginal reader visiting their site - but this doesn't apply to sites with quality, trustworthy information, as the only such benefits you can get is either ego stroking or earning money by subjecting the visitor to some kind of abuse. For sites doing that, if AI kills them, I call good riddance.
> MPG drops with the life of a vehicle

That is not true.

As a fan of older used cars, I would notice. It's not true.
There really is no open-source hardware, not below the centimeter level. You have to trust some company to actually make your chip. I guess you could get an electron microscope and look at every transistor, but that's probably not realistic, even for most companies.
Less ethical for someone to keep their mouth shut about an entity's questionable behaviour because they got paid by said entity.
Same, but perplexity.ai for me. Search enabled LLMs that can slog through the search results for me is where it's at.
As I mention in the other comment, I wonder if the regurgitation of research idea was Asimov's take on far future galactic dark ages Scholasticism. Which would fit the theme of stagnation, sure.
> My thoughts is that there's so many candidates (or maybe posting bots?), that if all checkboxes are not ticked, they can discard them.

About 25 years ago, friend used to have a bullshit detector skill in the job spec requirements. "Experience with: [real things], RFC 1149, [at least one more real thing]." Anyone who claimed experience in that one was automatically rejected. And yes, that was well before a Norwegian user group actually pulled "IP Over Avian Carriers" off in real life.
You mean like most GOP presidents in recent history not winning the majority vote? The US are not part of the EU so...
I blame Otis Toole[1], who confessed (and later recanted) to the kidnapping and murder of Adam Walsh. The hysteria Adam's father was able to create in the United States is astounding. I grew up before that happened, and yet, when it was my turn as a parent, I was still freaked out the first time my child wanted to walk home from a friends house, 2 blocks away about 10 years ago.

When I was a kid, we were told to go outside and play until the street lights came on.

I suppose a charitable understanding of this “warning” is that less savvy users (e.g., my parents) may blindly accept the iPhone prompt to allow a connection to do non-charging (nefarious) things?
Ask HN: Is it possible to filter out Twitter submissions?
You don’t. Open hardware is a positive for the company and almost entirely neutral for the consumer.

I guess you could say It’s a positive for us too, since you are not subsidizing the ARM royalties with every tech purchase you make. But I wouldn’t bet on this cost cutting being passed down to us.

This threat is far less dangerous than the threat of automatically connecting to certain free wifi ssid's that could be harmfull to one of the thousands of possibly compromised apps.
> So if you believe in capitalism, your individual moral decisions do not matter.

I understand what you're saying, and I agree with emphasizing the power of market design and regulation over individual responsibility.

But I wouldn't go so far as to say individual moral decisions do not matter. Firstly, consumer decisions matter. They are not as effective as the law in directing the market, but they aren't meaningless.

Secondly, ethical decisions matter to me as an individual even if their utilitarian outcome isn't clear. I try to behave as I wished everyone would behave, even if a few badly behaved people negate my efforts. I don't drop rubbish on an already littered street. Not because the street will look any better for my restraint, but because I don't want to normalise or implicitly condone antisocial behaviour through my actions. And I guess it's just intrinsically important to me.

That said, I might well have sold my company to Google for a big payout in 2014. I would certainly be more reluctant today however.
All hail the paid web. It sure took a long time to get here, from humble beginnings 20+ years ago when salon.com toyed with the idea of charging a micro-fee per article view.
You're arguing that the problem is that only wealthy people will be able to speak to their representatives. That's the exact situation now, but worse. Today it's not a matter of convincing your rep. The wealthy just buy them.

"here have 200k and swing that bill my way". That's just borderline bribery.
That would probably be fine by me if and only if:

a) the source code of the secure enclave is 100% open source
b) I can compile my own version of it
c) I can run my own version of it
d) I face no reprecussions (i.e. services not working, DRM not working, ...) if I choose to do so.

This is all fine and dandy for key storage purposes; you actually want all of these to guarantee that your keys are safe. But modern enclaves are primarily used for DRM, and this just doesn't work if I can just patch a way into my enclave to get the key if I really want to.

So, I'd much rather have a system with no enclave which I can attach a HSM to than a secure "trust me bro" enclave.

DRM was the original sin of computing, and nobody can convince me otherwise.
>How could we possibly know the such things as 'Nazi snatch squads' even existed

Germans keep good records, and after the war all the archives were captured and read through and cross indexed. Every incident in Allied logs was compared with German logs to see what matched.
Just another reason for one to get into org-mode[1] and org-roam[2].

Combine this with the concept of Zettelkasten[3] and you have a wonderful way to organize and store all your notes and writings, and even a way to know at what point you should move your idea from analog to digital (based on it's maturity, e.g. "evergreen state").

So the problem is that car dependence, zoning laws and lack of public healthcare means you have a lot of very expensive items that you can't do anything about without massively impacting your quality of life.

So it is mostly an American problem, you can fix all of those via laws, many other countries has. In Europe housing scales down well, you can always pay less by living smaller or a bit further out from the city, you don't need a car and you don't need to pay that much for healthcare. Poor people still has it worse, but at least they have plenty of options.
Yeah, this discussion thread so far accounts how sensationalist media covered true crime cases. Child abductions, serial killers, Satanic panic led to cultural shifts where suddenly the 'burbs aren't safe anymore and stranger danger was amplified and everywhere.
If so, I'd much rather have miniDP. Better connector, better standard, it talks HDMI anyway if you want to, and you will need an adapter anyway.
Or use it in a way that doesn't give up your data quite so easily. I recommend Minitube for Linux desktop and NewPipe for android.
Epigenetics suggests that unnecessary stressors in the current generation reduce biological fitness, which competes with struggle for the sake of struggle when its not necessary

Very interesting for... other reasons.

I thought that Beagle Company was more tied to TI chips than this, I didn't expect a non-TI chip to come out of their boards.

Historically, Beagle has aimed at SBCs that are "weaker" than Rasp. Pi but far more "open". I trust their branding and the company. I don't consider them fully open (like Linux4Sam / Microchips stuff, which have open source U-Boot and other bootloaders immediately available for download). But open source is a "sliding scale", and Beagle has consistently been "more open" than most competitors. Don't let perfect be the enemy of good here, there will be far better drivers than Rasp. Pi (the biggest name competitor for sure).

BeagleBoards tend to be in the 1W to 5W region, while Rasp. Pis consistently are 5W+ (with the most recent Rasp. Pi even having a 20W+ adapter but probably averages at half that). RP4 averaging around 6W, so well above BeagleBoard stuff. Note that Rasp. Pi wins in overall compute-per-watt metrics, but also note that Xeon / EPYC are far more efficient in compute-per-watt. So... nobody should be using Rasp. Pi (or Beaglebones) for efficient computer. These are computers that "must" fit inside the 6W or 2W or whatever power-envelopes you needed. (Ex: running off of 1x 18650 Li-ion cell, or a solar-battery setup trying to shrink the size of the power-system)
Once I tried to use the QNX floppy demo. There is a backdoor that allows you to reach out to the command line http://qnx.puslapiai.lt/qnxdemo/qnx_demo_disk.htm but I wasn't able to accomplish it.

Also I wonder if we have a root account, and if it is possible to install it on a hard drive. There is no rooted and installable floppy QNX demo that I am aware of.
The web thrived for a decent number of years with ads before it began to really spiral down.

For me the biggest cause of that spiral was the shift from most users using desktops to most users using mobile to interact with google.

In the desktop search world, google used to respond with large comprehensive articles on subjects that not just answered peoples questions but also educated them on the subject around their question. This was the golden age so to speak, it answered your question along with 10 others on a subject but also helped you to understand if your question was even the right one in the first place.

With mobile, google shifted to trying to directly answer the question you asked and nothing else, presumably because people were far less willing to read large articles on mobile and just wanted fast answers.

This latter approach is much easier to SEO garbage than the original that took real knowledge and effort to write.
More like compact.
You put pog on a $900 bike, and then on a $10k bike and you'll see a measurable improvement in performance.

At the top end ever watt helps. Will a casual on a 10k bike beat pog on a $900 bike? Absolutely not.

The analogy doesn't QUITE hold to photography however. No matter how skilled you are, a crappy small sensor in a dark room will pretty much always be awful. Can a skilled photographer make it look a bit less bad? Sure, but there are physical limitations in play here.
Normally in weight classed sports, people cut and dehydrate etc so that they are just inside the weight class they want to be in.

In other words, if they didn't cut they wouldn't be meeting that opponent at all because they would be in a different weight class.
A few weeks ago, I had a question and I couldn't find the answer with Wikipedia or with internet searches. So I asked ChatGPT. I got an answer. Even better, it was sourced... Except that the source was a Wikipedia page that I had read and that didn't contain what I wanted. ChatGPT's answer was "fouled up beautifully", as Donald Knuth would say. A plain search is just a link and a quote, while the IA's answer is an educated guess.

TL;DR ChatGPT can "lie" and its bad extrapolations are hard to debunk.

There are lots of criticisms of other media in this thread. I will add my 2 cents

Superkitties. Every villain is justirier, just doesn't chose right approach. Even if they commit bad things one after another. And in the end of show moral of story is literally spelled out. Authors hammering it down too hard.

Brer Rabbit stories by Joel Harris (old books). I started reading aloud to kiddo and stopped, as some stories are too cruel and unfair. The world is unfair, but this is too early for kiddos age.
Me too (and the community).

I've gotten a lot from HN over the years, but no money. The community has been worth a million bucks though.
Recipe blogs are the most horrible example. The amount of BS you have to scroll through to get to the actual recipe.
"Stealing". Bless you, not giving up data while accessing something public is not stealing. Defending yourself against surveillance is morally unambiguous. Society as a whole, across the entire world, needs to start talking about how we support these services in a post-ad-revenue-model world.

I suspect whatever the answer we settle on, it'll be less awful than what exists now.
We can bring it back. Neocities exists. I'm sure other communities do as well.
