I think Sapiens may be a product of it's time. It may still true today, but I think this became really popular during the Joe Rogan era prior to covid.

This type of content was taking off then. Lots of shrewd observations that seem to point in a convenient direction. Then you realize that most of these things were never really meaningful, if they were even true to begin with.

Just a collection of interesting annectdotes at best. Bunch of interesting factoids that are patched together, with no real meaning.
>Some companies like Alibaba or JD have actually started to spinoff segments themselves due to investor pressure.

For alibaba I thought it was because the ccp thought they were getting too big/powerful?

edit:

Seems like the "official" reason is that it'll make the company better overall, but everyone thinks it's really because of pressure from the ccp.

>Now a split is happening, though not at the behest of Beijing—at least not directly. On March 28th Alibaba announced that it would be creating six independent business units. Executives say this will yield a more agile overall business, by speeding up decision-making across smaller and more focused operations. The main unspoken goal may be to decentralise decision-making, not least by disassociating Alibaba further from its founder, who stepped away from day-to-day management in 2015 but has remained involved in strategic decisions.

Agreed. The potential state space in parallel processing is a lot larger, which makes it more complex, which makes it harder.

That Erlang exists and people use it successfully does not mean that harder things aren't.
Yes I believe this is often used as part of Oracle's APEX (Application Expresss) tool which has similar goals to Omnigres. It's used to put together internal business CRUD and reporting apps very quickly for some orgs I've worked for.
The answer here is that "putting effort into my questions"

A lot of questions show people have not done that by either reading manuals or searching SO.

Why should a answereer put effort into writing a good answer when the questioner has not shown any effort?
I wonder if you'll keep your free rights opinion the first time some bot abuses your service, causes a few 100.000$ in AWS costs and then goes away without paying for it.
> Every single problem does not need to be solved using an LLM

How do you know if a problem is suitable for transformers/LLMs unless you try? We have this great generalized architecture, I would hope people throw everything at it and see what sticks, because what's the downside? Less focus on bespoke predictive models? Oh no.
Project Managers might just need some training. The board system in GL is very flexible and adaptable to how your org works.

I was really impressed.
I think you are misreading the situation. It’s not enough to have open standards if the big guys just consume that data into their closed platforms.

The author argues they are too powerful. We had open standards and big tech embraced and then locked it into their platforms. We need regulations at this point.
Were you referring to the Hitchhiker's Guide bit, or the rest?
This is a weak argument because YouTube isn't a public street it's a private business

You aren't forced to use it, it is a choice

And this application (FreeTube) is for the sole purpose of circumventing their (YouTube) monetization for the sake of convenience

I don't have a dog in the fight and I'm certainly not a fan of YouTube or Google, but you can't argue it's somehow ok just because you dislike ads or lack of privacy on a "free" video streaming website
If you print 10% more dollars all dollars are 10% less valuable, all things being equal.

Other changes in the economy may occur that would effect price levels of various goods, prices change all the time, but one thing is certain those dollars are 10% less valuable than if you hadn't printed any.

You can claim your growth in the economy balanced it out, but dollar holders were entitled to deflation in that case but instead got higher prices. It's still a tax even if prices don't go up, beacuse they could've went down, that's what happens in competitive industrialized economies, prices fall to slightly above the cost of production and then the cost of production starts falling.
I think that depends on the problem.

My main use of SO is figuring out badly documented DSLs or configurations or magic annotations that have nothing to do with programming per se.

I can dig into a language I don't actually know and change a value or fix a trivial bug, as long as it has variables, methods and loops.

But I can't guess if @Zorpify is the magic incantation on a method that does something I don't know the name of.
What does the antitrust trial have to do with Apple and Linux? It did nothing to help either of them in any sort of way. Apple wasn't trying to sell anything on the PC or Windows platform. Apple was developing their own hardware and software. Linux never really competed in the same markets as Microsoft either.
Yeah, it's a decent value for money. I wish Google would also allow paid customers a bit more customization of the websites (e.g. removing Shorts and all that crap) and enforced no sponsors inside videos for Premium subscribers.

Could the increased brightness of these screens help worsening the burn in problem?

I’d say the firmware has precautions against this problem. Could it be only a small number of phones with defective panels presenting this problems and people blowing it out of proportion?

Show HN: WebAssembly runtime embedded in Godot game engine
A WebAssembly runtime embedded in Godot game engine projects. Interact with Wasm modules from GDScript.

Accessing Wasm modules via GDScript provides the following benefits.
- Sandboxed environment allows safely loading zero-trust mods/extensions to a project.
- Single target means that Wasm modules can be built from any language e.g. Rust, Go, AssemblyScript and the single binary can be run on all platforms.
- Fast execution compared to GDScript allows for offloading compute-heavy operations or running bots/mods/etc. at high FPS.

This might be useful for loading mods, bot AI, or entire games (similar to the WASM-4 fantasy console), offloading compute-heavy tasks without using GDExtention C++, or just writing some game logic in your favourite Wasm-supported programming language.

Supports Wasmtime, Wasmer, and other runtimes that adhere to the Wasm C API. Basic function and global access, memory operations via the standard StreamPeer interface, and limited WASI support. Installable for both Godot 3 and Godot 4 as a GDExtension/GDNative addon or as engine module.

Happy to hear feedback and/or receive PRs!

"The best way" type questions would still create a ballot with the best solution probably rising to the top, for use by others who encounter a similiar situation. People aren't always starting from a very specific problem, but from a vague general one.

Ultimately though, Stack Overflow just faced the customer service curse: as volume rises, moderation gets blunter.
It's not the best for big organizations, but I've been quite happy with Gitea ever since the Gitlab pricing changes. Tons of features, rapid development, painless backup and upgrade process, and most importantly, very inexpensive to self host. If your team is in the low teens to low hundreds of people, it might already support your workflows!
That does not count. Those are all from parts kits. 3D printing of firearms outside of superficial accessories is a fraction of a fraction. And newsflash to the world -- Americans have been making "ghost guns" for hundreds of years.
Hardly the worth the attention of Law Enforcement. Maybe focus on real crime and not propaganda tuned to scare the average burbanite.
Pretty sure if someone publicly compromised TSS to that degree, people in the jailbreaking scene would be bouncing off the walls.
Why would you think so? Assembler is what it has always been, i.e., mnemonics for machine instructions. Unless you are thinking about microcode, which is nothing new and I am not sure it should count as a "level" from the perspective of a programmer anyway.
They're pretty cool, I don't see the problem.
Remember, you opened up this nitpick game...

It's true that it wasn't meaningful, but that doesn't make it untrue. Usefully distinctive is orthogonal to true.

When I replaced my damaged car with an exact copy, it was not meaningful yet yet still true, and so a perfectly valid statement, when I said I 'doubled the size of my fleet of yellow Skys'
The blog is hosted on wordpress.com. Author likely has little control over this, and all the adtech garbage 'comes along for the ride', and the author is indifferent to it, and/or considers it the price of blog hosting.
No, children should not have access to "all information". The world is full of information and media that would traumatize them. For example, murder videos from a brand new war. Radicalization content would also go on my "not for children" list.

There is plenty of material that children lack the tools to understand and digest without trauma or ideological absorption. Most adults lack those skills too, to be fair.

There should actually be ways to choose for your children what kinds of content you would like them to have access to until they're mature enough to decide for themselves. If you want to limit it to educational content, that's up to you as a parent.
Is that discussion/implementation of nvme available somewhere in public?

https://github.com/rails/solid_cache didn't include anything about NVME that I could find.
> Food has gotten insanely expensive in that time.

> Anecdotally, I can remember a burger at a restaurant was about $6 in 1999. Now average seems to be 15 to 20.

When you go to a restaurant, you're mostly buying labor.

It's not a good benchmark for food prices.
We're in the same boat. I brought Confluence into our org almost a decade ago — it was the best collaborative wiki tool at the time. Over time the price has increased while the quality of the tool has not kept pace with other options. This seems to be the trend as software companies grow into large "enterprise" providers.

Looking at our Confluence usage over the years, I noticed that we use it primarily as a knowledgebase/documentation tool and less for collaboration. With our on-prem license expiring, we are migrating to a dedicated knowledgebase for our FAQ and frequently changing content and switching to a Markdown tool + Git for our more formal documentation.
Ask HN: Am I limiting my product's succesfulness by going on-prem only?
I'm currently developing a product that deals with customer data, think analytics sphere.

My idea initial is/was to offer the product in an on-prem version only. I didn't want to handle all the issues regarding customer data, data residency, etc.

Of course, going on-prem also limits the product. It requires a certain level of knowledge of the customer with regards to infrastructure, server setup, etc.
At the moment I'm not entirely sure how this affects my ideal customer.

My gut feeling is that this will limit the success of the product.

What do you think?
Right. These types of conversations should always trend toward addressing systemic problems with our culture and the infinite growth mentality. It can be stemmed but until our monetary system is no longer based on interest and debt, eventually we will all face a reckoning.
Its also pretty dreadful. You can literally no longer trust any flat surface you may place your iPhone onto - in the library, at the store, in public, etc.

All it will take is for this mechanism to be cracked, and we have lost.
I've noticed lately that your search results in Google play store is "below the fold" significantly. 2+ pages of scrolling to get to it.

This is especially insidious when you're searching for security or banking apps.

For example on my device I search for "chase" first result is Chime, followed by a box labeled "ads related to your search" with rocket money, Western Union, and a payday loan company.

Then below that is "limited time events" that list the barbie app, uno and some racing game.

Then below that is "You might also like" with Uber, Mahjong, and some habit tracker.

Then below that is "Similar Apps" with wells Fargo, Discover and PNY Bank apps.

Then below that is my search results with the first result being the chase app.

I don't know how this behavior is defensible

I'd say both of those things makes it ok to do whatever you can to avoid them - given that YouTube appears happy enough to serve ads for various obvious scams that wouldn't make it past television advertising standards bodies.
Not really. There are dozens of reasons why you would want to do some thing the non-standard way and not "the one recommended" way, but it's mostly impossible to ask that on SO because 3 people will jump in to tell you "no you shouldn't".

You could try a "I know I should be doing X but I want/need Y" disclaimer (also often useless) or spend writing half a novel, to only get told "can you make that a shorter repro?" or back to square 1, "you shouldn't do that'.
I was previously on an iPhone 7 that I had happily jailbroken on 14.8.1 (and the 7 didn't get iOS 16 so upgrade options were limited anyway, and iOS 15 jailbreaks are far less optimal on small devices like my 32GB 7).

The biggest thing I miss in the first 24 hours? The way I could monitor my battery's temperature even though for whatever reason Apple in their infinite wisdom has decided people shouldn't be able to monitor their battery temperature directly. That, and the tweak I had that would colorize my notifications based on the app icon.
Reminds me of VLIW. As per Wikipedia, from the Itanium page:

> One VLIW instruction word can contain several independent instructions, which can be executed in parallel without having to evaluate them for independence. A compiler must attempt to find valid combinations of instructions that can be executed at the same time, effectively performing the instruction scheduling that conventional superscalar processors must do in hardware at runtime.

If your CPU exposed the single-stream parallelism at the interface, you can do it at compile-time or even decide it with in-line assembler.

I wonder if it hasn't caught due strictly to the business dynamics of the industry, or are there technical reasons this isn't really a good strategy?
The Consumer Price Index is a scam at this point, as far as I can tell.

They regularly modify the list of items in the cart, meaning the data isn't reliable over time.

They also include caveats where they can modify the Scritsmier price differences. For example, they attention to adjust the new price to account for what they consider to be added value. Say a product is 15% more expensive one year after a new model is released. When calculated the CPI, they can decide that the new model added 10% more value or benefit to the user, meaning the price only rose by 5%.

I wish I could find the study now, but around 2013 someone compared the CPI listed price increase of magazines to the actual change in the price listed on the cover over something like 20 years. The true value change was around 130% but the CPI had adjusted for value 30%.

Most people seem to be feeling this now when they notice that process have risen much higher than the claimed 4 or 5%.
Mmm, I will just address the last paragraph as I am a bit in a hurry, you are mistaken thinking I am lecturing anyone about maturity... exactly the opposite, I strongly believe in people's genuine maturity and that they don't need much control over such trivia as the headline for example. They can judge by themselves.
If you're very very popular you can live off ads. Theyre the ones who can negotiate bigger cuts. Otherwise no.

A lot of the content creators I watch are demonetized but google still runs ads. I try to support them directly - morally speaking I think it's the right thing to do to stand up against both hard and soft censorship.

If you're in the mood to donate to Google's profit margins feel free though. They do have an expensive lawsuit to fight against accusations of being an abusive monopolist and I'm sure they could use your cash to help out.
You can also use Zotero paired with the Zotero Connector Chrome/Firefox extension for this, I use Zotero as my document archival in addition to my academic citation manager. The Zotero Connector saves any PDF or web page opened in your browser to a local PDF/HTML file, and for HTML under the hood is uses the SingleFile extension to package the whole web page, images and all, into just one file.

It works well - now I'm just looking for a good way to annotate/highlight the local HTML/PDF/ePUB files cross-OS cross-platform. KOReader (https://github.com/koreader/koreader) works pretty well for this with its new hash-based storage option.

That's fair - maybe I expressed it badly or just that it's hard to come up with succinct rules for questions.

Consider two scenarios : a) I have installed some software X but messed up one of the install steps and now there is this weird error. Or b) when installing this software, it always errors if library Y is on an old version.

For b) it is clearly a 'general' problem that many people will face. For a) it could be seen as a user error and therefore not generally useful. From the point of view of the people facing a) though, it absolutely is a problem!

The article does mention a few areas of interest:

- Languages with "better" (=more modern hardware friendly) loop constraints are easier to parallelize (Fortran, Erlang, …)

- CPU architectures with better programmable vectorization (ARM SVE, Risc-V VE) are much easier to work with, if the language primitives allow it (see above)

Porting software over to fortran/erlang on aarch64 is something you can already do today, if you want to. Rust/Zig/etc. and RISC-V could have a good opportunity here to figure out better ergonomics for vectorization and more hardware friendly cache coherency policies, too, but no clue if anyone in the relevant standard gremiums cares.

In terms out "but what can I easily use as drop-in replacement?" Yeah, we're kinda stuck with C and languages that inherit its problems (current Rust/Zig/etc. included).

The probability of this being true is so close to zero it's not even fun. There's absolutely no reason to assume that the density of 33 Polyhymnia is actually 75 g/cm3.

"However, given Polyhymnia's diameter of 54 km (34 mi), this mass implies an extremely high density of 75.28±9.71 g/cm3. Such a high density is unphysical, so this mass and density estimate of Polyhymnia is considered unreliable by Carry in his study. Because of Polyhymnia's small size, its gravitational influence on other bodies is extremely difficult to detect and may lead to highly inaccurate mass and density estimates. No other study has attempted to determine a mass and density for Polyhymnia since." (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/33_Polyhymnia)
Yes, mostly on the durability side. NVMe actually has the relevant API to be sure that a write was flushed, while posix like filesystem API usually do not handle it.
Your question seems provocative... but that's a very good question. I've always liked assembly programming and I got very puzzled when I discovered the processor metal have gone very far from the x86 instruction set I was writing. Il felt like the magic was gone.

Indeed there is no direct match anymore between instructions and gate combinations on the processor die. There is a microcode translating x86 instruction into whatever electronics are below. Change this microcode, and you could have your processor speak a different binary code (matched to a assembler language).
