There's a lot of utility outside of the US, in countries without stable currencies.

It's no web, but its a lot more impactful than say self driving cars (thus far), 3D-printing, or vegan meat.

Same feeling here... Really surprised there are so many upvotes here. Well, the fact that we now have a vocal and even political psytrance only says that this is now part of the pop culture. And the sound has changed as well. Today's music is, well, uhm, different from what was produced back in the DAT tape era...
I use old PC and Mac because it continues to work. I also have an old Macbook (2008) that I wish I could repair, so I could continue using it. While the old macbook doesn't run modern software, it ran Linux well, and it would've been fine running Home Assistant, web servers, NAS with Thunderbolt2/3, etc. I'd hate seeing old computers go to e-waste, if I could just fix it cheaply. Also, I might've run some classic software that is no longer supported on modern system, like old Adobe Photoshop that ran without subscription, and classic games as well.
Parent asked:

And you replied:

> there are photos/videos now. a dozen of burned cars on parking lot. hospital is in one piece. all walls/roofs/etc are intact.

I don't see how your reply answers the question of where the rocket came from, just what you think the rocket hit.
Not a secret, this was already required by the premise.
Plasma draws the pixels, so it does native resolution with no interpolation for all its supported resolutions. Is that correct? If so other than higher power draw suggests that is ideal.

“ Another curiosity hidden in the circuit board is this wiggle on one of the traces. It contains a tiny detour to make sure it’s the same length as its paired trace, which is especially important when dealing with extra-high-speed data transmission.”

Better is relative. The EU goals is standardisation to reduce e-waste. Unless Apple are going to innovate a way make every phone manufacturer adopt their fancy new connector, it’s never going to “better” than USB-C. If you’re evaluating connectors from the perspective of reducing e-waste.

I think this is right inline with the utility of multi agent models. Whether distributing tasks to specialized agents trained on domain knowledge or collaborating with context aware agents. I think the context is where we are going to find limitations early on especially when models are expected to work on live data. Rather than constantly retraining a model, you leverage a model that is already primed through in-context learning based on previous interactions and relevant data.

It broke calling static functions without the need to declare them as static.

It broke adding properties dynamicly to objects.

It broke easy string handling for many functions where null was rendered as an empty string. This is especially annoying as you often get null values from the database. It makes sense to have a null value for "Don't know the color of the car" in the DB. And it makes sense to render it as "Color: " in the user interface. The easy string conversion always was one of the strengths of PHP.

It feels like Java all over again.

I think an ATS will miss more good candidates.

For example, I was messing around with one today with my own resumé. It couldn't tell from responsibilities and results that I had done a job much more senior to the job title (long and probably common story). It wanted exact matching in job title to the job description, so "department lead" and "head of department" or neither, with the same responsibilities, were not interchangeable.

A human could pick that out from the context. So I think an ATS is going to be using the filters humans used to, plus failing to gather relevant info from context.
This is how you do advertising on HN...

The page is a very explicit plug (pun intended?) for their industrial CT products, and it was clearly done for marketing purposes, not because it reveals anything interesting. It is an apples-to-oranges comparison of several cables, basically showing that they're doing what they're supposed to and are constructed as expected. It was even submitted by an account that is clearly tied to the company.

I'm not upset with them - I think it's a better ad than most - but it's a pretty solid case study of how clever "covert" marketing is being done.

I remember downloading demos from Pouet and testing them out on my machine. I quickly realized some of these only worked on higher-spec'd machines than mine, and some of them were laggy and glitchy af, but they still worked.

What I gathered is that every line of code counts in a demo, and the hardware constraints were a good thing as you had to push the envelope of the hardware. Now people spin up bloated Electron apps on their machines which could be slimmed down substantially if more effort was put into reducing lines of code and all those wasted CPU cycles are embarrassing.

But people have beefy setups that can run Electron and a host of other apps simultaneously, so they don't care to put in the effort anymore.

Always code as if you're coding a demo is my mantra.

thanks.
so... uh... you didn't register google.com fast enough and now you want to have a discussion about how it's really owned by everyone and google should be paying rent to you?

Crypto is not more impactful than 3D printing.

3D printing has built real things, real products and has immense significance to fast prototyping.

Crypto hasn't built a single tangible item.
100% yes. Don't bother replying. I can't be convinced otherwise.
Yeah, but I wouldn't consider stuff like mag restrictions as safety or security training. I would say that falls under the "other laws" part of my comment.
100% no. Don't bother replying. I can't be convinced otherwise.
> especially as government surveillance continues its march towards panopticon

Pseudonymous is not anonymous. Pseudonymity is not privacy.

Cryptography is cool for certain kinds of privacy. Cryptocurrency has almost nothing to do with cryptography and does not provide privacy in the ways that counter a surveillance super-state. Pseudonymity makes transactions more traceable because unique identifiers are tied to each wallet and every single transaction with all metadata is recorded in plain view by design of the protocol. Mixers are an attempt to patch the failure of the protocol's design to actually implement any form of privacy, and even then, there are statistical tools that can plausibly tease out who's paying whom. At least enough to justify to the state, in its bureaucratic processes, more conventional forms of investigation. It's not perfect because the failures are systemic, i.e., inherent to the protocols.

I feel like a crazy person. Sometimes I feel like I'm hallucinating the life I'm living, and I'm really locked in a padded room repeating these things to myself day and night but no one will listen.
TensorRT, like many other frameworks, has always been really cool in GenAI demos and essentially useless and unused because no one integrates those demos into the more fleshed out projects.

And TensorRT in particular is a pain for end-users to install correctly, especially when they gate parts of the stack behind sign-up walls.

That might turn out to be a pivotal argument. But as it is, it proves too much: it denies the existence of a general post-viral syndrome. Since we do know that viruses, as a general phenomenon, can lead to effects like what are being reported, the default assumption ought to be that this is just one more such example. From there, researchers could attempt to show that this is (or is not) qualitatively different.

Skipping a known likely cause to search for something more specific seems like a potentially much more difficult path, and by pursuing it this way it also seems likely to miss out on the possibility of helping those suffering from post-viral syndrome that's not connected to covid.

agree with this. in their new values, they literally use the same words that were in the old ones ("unpretentious", "collaboration"). I also dont think this is a change "at the drop of a hat" as the article suggests - OpenAI's been through a major inflection point with GPT3.5/4, and the company's not the same one it was a few years ago. It makes sense to make updates to the company's core values
That and in the future we'll apparently forget everything we ever learned about electrical codes and the proper way to build things so they don't spark and catch fire at the slightest provocation.
This really is the key thing. Crypto allows for the evasion of laws. That's its key contribution. In authoritarian states this is probably a net good. In the rest of the world this is a harm.

No. NFTs let you trade some bullshit token. The token's provenance and ownership doesn't have to be respected by anyone.

The state of any particular blockchain doesn't confer any copyrights, license, or real world ownership. It's about as valid as me writing "I own a pair of Air Jordans" on an index card.

Unless a game developer decides to honor any particular blockchain and NFTs on it those NFTs mean nothing. There's no upside to a developer honoring third party NFTs because they make no money off them but do have support and development costs.
The domains just write themselves.

>MySQL did the benchmarks.

MySQL is a database and databases don't do benchmarks and benchmarks don't tell you how databases are used. You probably mean some researchers measured how databases were used. Show me this source otherwise I have to assume you're making it up. Most of your argument hinges on this.

>select something other than '*' most ORMs break down. And they're like that because the users don't need or care about those use cases.

Even if what you say is true, and it isnt with the orms I dealt with, filters are a basic feature of all orms and basic column filtering is 100 percent for sets. Orms are nowhere near turning SQL into key value stores.

>The point was to make it easy to fetch a whole row by primary key without having to parse an SQL query, because for typical MySQL use patterns, it was spending more time parsing the queries than actually executing them

I can see this optimization happening. But this is drastically different from MySQL being a big key value store.

The most frequent query may be a key value fetch but it doesn't make the databases primarily key value stores. For example on Google the most searched terms are for porn. Doesn't make Google a porn site and every user a porn enthusiast.

Basically every user who searches for porn on Google likely uses Google for other things too. It's just the aggregate most used queries happen to add up to porn.

Same with your basic website. The most frequent queries may be isomorphic to a key value fetch but clearly the websites utilize SQL databases for all the other features too. I find it highly unlikely that the majority of the web literally uses MySQL exclusively as a key value store. It is simply just the analytics showing that type of query as most frequent. There is a clear distinction here.

Gresham's Law: Bad money drives out good. If cryptocurrency is deflating, it's becoming more valuable with time. The dollar is inflating - it's becoming less valuable with time. So given the choice, I would pay with dollars and hold crypto. That's just normal human behavior. But while that may make crypto a good investment, it makes it a terrible unit of exchange, as you say (or at least a unit of exchange that will only be used as a last resort).
