U7 was amazing!

My heart still belongs to Ultima V though! Meditating at the Shrines, developing virtue, learning how to talk to people ("NAME", "JOB"), truly formative experience for me.

Got lost without the current day walkthroughs but it was about playing, not winning...
There is a reason Pootin, and some other world leaders, have a black case carried behind them by a member of security team. This is to collect poo so no genetic information falls into the vials of the enemy.
Well, you are - and I mean this with as little offense as possible - only entertaining the blockchain from a likely incredibly privileged position. Consider people living under an oppressive regime. Things you are considering perfectly normal, like freely living as a homosexual, may be a punishable offense and illegal for its citizens. "Illegal nonsense" uses of the blockchain may be live-saving privacy for them.
That's why I agree that you can decide to consider it a form of intelligence. Just like some people find Cancer cells evading the immune system, going into hiding, etc. is a form of intelligence.

But it's not human intelligence. Because of some of what I said. Your 7 year old might not make fully cohesive sentences all the time, or know all of wikipedia, and would fail to answer some of the reasoning questions GPT4 can answer, but it sure will have a lot of strong opinions.

And it kind of makes sense, you think about what it is, it learned a multi-variate, multi-dimensional deterministic function over a corpus of text embeddings that predicts the answer to a prompt, which it too learned from human guided prompting examples. Then it mimics "creativity" with added random seeds.

And it kind of act as you'd expect from that.

I'd also say, you'd expect it to be able to get smarter on its own. But it currently can't and needs the team of scientists to work on GPT5 on it's behalf. It's also not yet smart enough that it could figure out how to make its better GPT5 future iteration.

I think we, as free software consumers, have become spoiled by the sheer amount of quality software and distros available for no charge, with all the freedoms, over the past couple decades.

In my eyes this move is perfectly within the spirit of the GPL, which explicitly allows charging for the program. Crucially it makes no promise about future updates.

Red Hat can terminate a subscription for a variety of reasons, not limited to taking all their software to make a competing distribution. However even if they do cancel it, you are still entitled to get the source code of all (GPL) software you aquired up to that point.

It will be funny if RH in a further crackdown decides to not publish sources for non-GPL (MIT/Apache/etc) in the public channels that Rocky et.al. use. Would spark a new fire in the permissive vs copyleft debate.

I actually think this move is beneficial for the free software movement overall. Most/all the sources Red Hat use are still available in upstream repositories, and many other distros package it without Red Hats handcuffs.
Monero is used everyday by people living under oppressive regimes.
This is not actually true. The level of violent crime in 99% of the USA is the same or lower as most other developed countries.

For reference, more people kill themselves with guns in the USA than are killed by other people with guns. If gun violence were truly a huge problem, you'd think that suicides would be outnumbered by gun murders, but they're not.

The numbers look big because it's a country of 330 million people, but ultimately the number of people killed with guns is pretty low (and it's something that can actually safely be completely ignored if you remove gang-on-gang and drug trade related violence, which is the vast majority of firearms deaths). For example, Obama killed more children with drones in 8 years than children were killed with guns in the USA in 20 years. (In both cases we are talking about absolute figures <1000.)

The "USA has a gun violence problem" is one of those "everybody knows" memes, however, so good luck convincing anyone to the contrary.
If someone told me to visualize a year on a circle, I’d probably go with the default watch format, but the thing is, I don’t see the year as anything. Lots of interesting responses from people who see it as a circle, oval, flattened or on a mountainside, I just don’t see “a year” at all. I’m a person with vivid 3D imagination and good spatial reasoning, but I haven’t developed a spatial model of a year at all.

For me, when comparing or estimating timescales, months are numbers in a range, and I mean numbers, not points on a line. When deciding whether to do something in February or June or October, there are significant memories, colors, smells and pictures associated with each, but again, no spatial model.
As we go into higher frequency (=speed) territory with our cables we will have more expensive cables and it will become harder to build and test them. A decent 4k hdmi cable tester costs 10k€

Whether the pricetag is worth the speed depends entirely on your use case. If you are offloading on a film set where each non-productive hour costs you multiple thousand euros, getting a cable that can do it faster can become economic pretty fast.
Meh, this does the rounds every so often, but the fact remains that auto* work a lot better than everything that's supposed to replace them, especially if your system is even slightly obscure. Want to build a unix program under SUA? If it uses autoconf, you're fine, just push the button and it works; at worst if the release is older than your OS then you may have to replace two files, a standard and well-known procedure. Want to build varnish under SUA? Lol, good luck.

The problem of duplicated dependencies in linux comes from doing too little splitting of packages, not too much. You get a lot less of this on a platform like nodejs where people properly split up functions into much smaller libraries, because the dependency management is much more effective. (Of course people on HN moan more when you do that, for no discernible reason, as if having 1000 dependencies is somehow morally inferior to having 10).

Ultimately a certain amount of duplication is necessary and healthy. There is a nugget of real criticism to be found here - the "Bazaar" nature of open-source OSes makes it very difficult to deprecate and remove anything, where a more centrally-managed system is able to make decisions like "we'll stop using or supporting Perl from 2020" and enforce them. But "herp derp 122 packages herp derp 22 tests" is not what we should be focusing on.
The Cydia store was good and had amazing, high quality apps and tweaks, and the other two examples you mention are walled gardens curated by companies who have historically amplified bad actors rather than stifle them.

There is a need for curation, but I don't think Apple is qualified to perform the kind of curation that is best for consumers, it is both so loose as to permit an app store mostly filled with useless garbage, a great deal of which they promote on the "curated" home page ( to-do lists, mrbeast unity game, financial management tools that simply exist to bait consumers into enabling bank api access) and so tight as to stifle the creativity of those who think outside the narrow box of the monotony that is popular on their app store.

Curation is necessary and valuable, but distribution and curation aren't the same, and as the examples you cited, and Appls's app store reveal, the motivations of curator and distributor are in a fundamental tension between maximizing sales and improving the experience of the customer.

And as for the principle of being able, even to your own harm, to freely install the software you choose on your device, infants and the sick may need walls to keep them safe from winter, but if we build walls so high that those who would hunt cannot pass outside, and so strong that when spring comes we cannot tear them down, we shall all perish.
Surprising? There is no rear windshield in said vans and cargo trucks, so a center rear view mirror would just show you the back of the cab...
Lack of interest is my guess. That plus someone in Apple imagining that it shouldn’t compete with Adobe Lightroom. Aperture, during its peak, was well liked by users. Many even liked it better than Lightroom.

Even the iPhoto of that time (on iOS) had features that Photos doesn’t have till today (I recall buying iPhoto that allowed erasing things from a photo or blurring things from a photo just by using one’s finger).
I only ever pay money for physical books and DRM-free ebooks. Otherwise, I just hit up the local library or, failing that, Anna's Archive.

If I said I didn't want to go hunting with Dick Cheyney would you ask if I wore a bullet proof vest everywhere I went? When people look before walking into an intersection do you ask them if they erect bollards in front of their house?

But ok. Next time you go in for surgery tell the doc not to wash their hands because you aren't a scaredy cat.

Refusing to willingly take stupid risks is different than trying to live a life without them at all.
Yes, I agree. Microfrontends can be very useful if a small team needs an app quickly the same day, but can't wait for 2 years for the central IT department to deliver the tool.
Home prices haven't fallen much yet, despite the massive surge in interest rates, so if they can cash-out now why not?

Sell now, rent for a while, watch the market crash, jump back in when prices and/or rates fall?
I thought they removed the per install fee?
You totally can! I have a couple of apps that were made using it. There might even be a showcase on their site
Why hello there new addition to my home server! (thanks for mentioning this, it should solve a real problem for me).
Why is this considered abuse? Blockchains are for storing data, and these people are storing data on it.
Another example that this feature doesn't work is charging at car. In other words, it may work only while sleeping at night. It's far better than nothing, but I wish the 80% limit feature is available for my 13 mini.
I wouldn't be surprised if there are 0 people at nytimes who understand how A.I. works. There is a difference between understanding how it works, and being able to backtrack through huge chains of statistics math that is involved in producing outputs. I think this is the point that is being misinterpreted and abused. It is more accurate to say we can't reverse engineer the exact calculations that are involved in an A.I. making specific determinations and producing certain results
with a reasonable amount of time & effort. That is different from saying people "don't understand A.I."

That’s the real benefit of Airdrop. It’s so nice when you’re traveling to be able to share photos with someone you just met without worrying about WiFi hotspots, mobile data plans or any of that. You can be out in the middle of the ocean and it just works.

Isn't low power mode for when your phone has very little battery left? I don't understand why one would put a phone in low power mode when it's charging and hits 90%.

Ads I've seen involve things like full screen ads you have to click past just to get to the main page. I think the last one I saw was for some kind of "netflix awards" and I had to click "No Thanks" or something to get into the app.

There's an almost full screen ad on the profile selection screen (which used to look like this: https://beebom.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/netflix-pin-lo...). There are always giant banner ads at the top of the screen you have to scroll down from to get to the continue watching category (these ads look like this https://old.reddit.com/r/netflix/comments/39lav3/apparently_...). I've seen weird tall ads for shows that span multiple rows (like this: https://www.tvforum.co.uk/tvhome/n-series-44712). Right now there's some strange ad for a "Halloween collection" that spans multiple columns in the "Trending Now" category.

Ads have played automatically at the end of shows or were shown between them (see here: https://techcrunch.com/2018/08/17/netflix-tests-video-promos...). Ads flash rapidly on the screen if you pause any show for more than a couple minutes. Here's the trending now section surrounded top and bottom by ads: https://phspawprint.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Oct-art.p...

It's important that people are able to recognize ads when they see them. Netflix is filled with ads designed catch your attention or to more heavily promote certain shows in ways other than just listing them in every other category on the page. They aren't third party ads like you see on their cheapest plan, but they are still ads and the more of them there are, and the more annoying they are, the more I want to cancel.

Gallup is more or less synonymous with careful polling. However, the final thing I'd add is that it wasn't just Gallup either. Russia claimed a total of 82.9% yes (if we assume 100% who did not vote would have voted no), Gallup found 82.8%, GFK (German polling firm) found 82%. The only 'outlier' (so much as 5% can be called an outlier) is Pew who found 88%.

If any of these organizations' operations had been impeded in any way they would have made a big stink of it in their reporting. US and German organizations were not there to support Russia's claims, but to challenge them! But ultimately everybody's numbers ended up the same.
There are strict rules about recognising IP on a balance sheet to stop you from just slapping some value on your own work and saying "Yep, we're worth a billion dollars!". There are some cases you can do it though, mainly they involve acquisitions of companies or of the IP which allows you to accurately determine a market value for the IP.

The other way is capitalising expenses associated with developing IP, which I'm assuming since your on HN is software. It's been a while since I was in this space, but you can often capitalise software development expenses under certain conditions. I found this link which outlines this in more detail: https://www.accountingtools.com/articles/capitalization-of-s...

Man I just bought a book on Amazon after a long time.

It is illustrated as a comic (but not considered a comic) and due to the shitty experience with the Kindle desktop app and Kindle web app I am unable to actually zoom and read it properly as I would with any PDF or CBZ.

Basically removing the DRM and converting it is the only way I'd be able to enjoy it and to do that I'd need the whole calibre+dedrm machinery which I'm not even sure works on my box.

Damn Amazon and DRM using publishers.

It could work depending on how they structure the receivables (SPV, 72 hour agreement to buy) from the loan facility.

I am also curious on the official answer though!
I don't think this demo is a good demonstration of the features this library can offer. Once you grab a piece, you seem to lock it for only you to use? This means there are no conflicts to resolve, the only conflict is when two people pick a piece at the same time, from which the only resolution is to give it to the user that picked the piece first.

I'd want a demo that shows a much better example of conflicts occuring.

One of the main reasons for this is because mobile phones keep getting more expensive, and high school kids frequently steal other high school kids' phones. The limit keeps getting raised so that 18 year olds don't end up with felonies on their record.

I too would like to know about the training dataset, as I just took a look at the one for LLava[0], and found out that they used a pretty big amount of BLIP auto generated captions.

This seemed a bit surreal to me, like trying to train an LLM with the outputs of a worse performing smaller LLM.

You convinced me that, as I was already suspecting, there is no more risk in having your dna public than, for instance, having a picture of you on the internet. Arguably, even less.

It depends where they are in their journey. The right answer is "both" because each implies different skills.

Working on someone else's code base, and contributing value to it, is probably what your job will entail. So demonstrating profiency in that area is no bad thing. Being able to articulate that goal, and the lessons gained from achieving it will certainly help in an interview.

Bonus points if you strike up communication with the author and get their input on what they would like done. Communication skills are critically important in any new-job context.

Aside: willingness to write docs and tests while learning a new system will both improve your understanding, And improve your skills at the same time.

Building your own project shows a different set of skills. Identifying a problem (even if its only a problem to you), scoping that problem (avoiding endless feature creep), executing the solution and so on are all great in an interview.

Again, while this is great, articulating it in an interview is where the value lies. Be honest about the challenges, what you learned, what you would change. Too many programmers think getting their first job is based on programming skill. Of course that's a big part of it, but a bigger part is communication skill.
I used to have a Soniq brand TV. To emphasise the stupidity of the name I insisted on pronouncing it not as "sonic" but with the final q as the weird sound which begins "quack".
Personally, I could accomplish a lot more things across a broad category of technology doing a side project than OSS.

I love the FOSS community and pushing things to better a project is great. However, if it’s not something I’m deeply invested in, OSS can be very time consuming, just like a regular job.

If you were the hiring manager, I would expect you to have the skills to objectively evaluate the value of a project on a CV whether it be FOSS or pet.
It's what I was taught in statistics class at MIT. But you're right, I rarely see them, people just call bar charts "histograms". What it does is smooth out outliers. There is always (i mean, within reason) a good sample at the mean, but as you go out from the mean you get more and more variance (it's sort of the definition of variance)

A gaussian bell curve is a "population density function" and this definition of histogram reflects keeping the population density meaningful in terms of height. I will try to look for some. But the wikipedia article on histograms does reference them, that's what they are talking about wrt "varying width" bar charts. It's just that there is a rule to varying the width, "x times y is equal for all the rectangles" (oh yeah, you even get to "eyeball it" to make them. Unless you have a massive number of sample points, if you can choose a width parameter that makes your curve look normal, your curve probably is normal, or at least, you can't say that it's not, no matter what the bar chart looks like.

to put it another way, if you follow this rule for a perfect normal distribution, you'll still get a plot of a perfect normal distribution. But if you have a sparse sample that's a jaggy bell curve, it will move the curve toward a smoother curve, accurate in the sense of "this curve is statistically equivalent to your data, so if it looks "normal", probably your data is normal, and you won't imagine a mode where there isn't one.
But the author is only one of the many people who are involved in the production of a book. Editing. Typesetting. Cover design. Cover art. Marketing. Arguably, all of those things are important and contribute to an author's success.
to be fair, that's partly the fault of the games themselves too. When the game does not provide immersion or a good story, all left is minmaxing. Developers who only add "content" and not actual memorable experiences make it so players just try to grind the game as fast as possible because they don't fundamentally enjoy the game loop, they just play for the extrinsic rewards (loot, skins, completion, achievements, whatever).

even games like minecraft are minmaxing now, even though it used to be all sorts of creative things, since the game encourages minmaxing and discourages anything else. (just see how things like minecarts, redstone etc. have been utterly neglected - in favour of exploiting elytras, villagers and building farms)
