Is it just me getting older / less smart, or did articles about products really start to sound like a jumbled mess or buzzwords lately?

What is "Hardware transport", what is "the ecosystem"? And then there is dozens of random products and technologies that I've never heard of...

This sounds more like a humble brag, than an article trying to inform people about technologies that might actually be useful to them.
It's a wonderful proof, thanks for sharing, but the notation is really just syntactic sugar, no? It would have only been slightly clumsier to have "+60" everywhere. The real insight seems more to have done the construction "backwards", starting with the equilateral.
You seem to be confusing Amazon (the company), with only Amazon (the online retail website). The Amazon Company has a number of advertising vehicles outside of just their retail website. There is also a significant amount of advertising within their retail website as well. Have you not noticed all of the “sponsored” listings and other types of ads for (often inferior) products to show up under your search terms? Beyond that, “ad revenue” is often the vehicle for accounting data brokering due to the significant amount of tracking they do across all their various sites. There is also direct video ad revenue that comes from Twitch, is planned for Amazon Prime, so on and so forth.

There is no pick-and-choose in the way advertising would be defined, like you suggest. Advertising is just that; content that has either been paid for another party to show, has received payment to show, or the analytics/tracking data used to influence buyers or is marketed to sellers and other companies. By your definition, google’s ads in search results and targeted in websites wouldn’t be advertising either, because you [paraphrasing] “asked for it”.

In my air-chair opinion, the future of cancer treatments will not be one "cure-all" drug, but many, all depending on a cancer's characteristics and an individual's response to treatments. Cancer can also mutate or become metastatic when under duress, so the characteristics change then as well.

So the more treatments we can create, the better.
Even these black markets tend to use the institutions of law and society, for example, money and they rely on the protection of law, too, i.e., law enforcement isn't typically free to do whatever to combat them. Where enforcement is strongest, black markets have a hard time forming.

"Issue". Good grief.
Some apparent dichotomies are false, but "viewing/not viewing an image" is the real deal. (Do you want to make the case that a small exposure time represents a genuine midpoint between these extremes, to justify treating "a flash" of goatse as a special case, distinct from "viewing" it? If so, then right now I disagree, but would be interested in hearing your reasons why.)

I think there is a genuine change in meaning, coming from your use of the word "should":

>My position is not that you should "show young kids goatse

But that's not a word I used (or intended).

Show HN: I made a chatbot that allows you to have conversations with AI teachers
Today, I’d like to introduce a language learning tool developed by our team called FluentPal. This app uses AI to help people practice languages more easily.

We all know that learning a new language is only 20% of the journey. The remaining 80% is about practicing to improve. But finding good language practice partners for daily communication can be tough, expensive, and time-consuming. FluentPal was created to address this issue with the help of artificial intelligence. We hope this app will provide the most effective language practice space for language learners.

FluentPal is built using OpenAI’s API, the Turbo 3.5 model, and Azure Text to Speech. Currently, it supports practicing common languages like English, Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Spanish, French, and German.

FLUENTPAL FEATURES:
• It allows users to have natural conversations in English with AI in various real-life situations, and they can also chat with famous figures like Elon Musk, Messi, Zuck, Thanos, and Iron Man.
• FluentPal offers suggestions to help users know what to say in different situations.
• Users can control the reading speed, translate message.
• Users can choose their AI level based on their abilities. The app currently has three levels: Beginners, Intermediate, and IELTS (specifically for English learners).

The app is available on iOS and Android. You can download it through this link: https://fluentpal.app/download

Hybrids are horrible, and basically a plot by automakers to keep selling ICE cars. Take a small/primitive ICE engine plus an unuseable small/cheap EV kit (ask someone with a true EV, 30 miles is when they start to look for a charger). Twice the engines, twice the possible maintenance problems, and since both are cramped, almost none of the advantages.
What's to say it doesn't start incorporating some of that data in the future? Having an official IRS tax prep tool is absolutely the first step towards that.
These look really cool. The biggest downside is having 100 brands to choose from. It makes me feel like there's a good chance I could pick something that ends up being total e-waste.

Can anyone recommend one?

Most of SO’s traffic comes from organic search. While we don’t have data for SO traffic itself, we do know that search traffic is not declining.

While some users use ChatGPT to solve technical problems, it doesn’t seem likely that the search traffic they depend upon is an extreme outlier from search in general.

We do know that SO’s primary ad service is that of tech hiring, something that has cooled significantly in the last year.
GPT-4 correctly converts the difference to 36F. GPT-3.5 on the other hand gets crazy and decides that the difference is 154.4F. Same prompt. At this point I'm starting to believe GPT3.5 is dangerously stupid.
> that value does not have to be address 0, it could be some other address.

That's what the spec says, but are there any computers around anymore where nullptr is not zero? The spec should really go with the times IMHO, old hardware can be supported via platform-specific language extensions.
Writing a C Compiler: Book Update
There was never anything really wrong with PHP, just things that - to a computer science student, who just wrote some recursive-descent parser for C++ in OCaML - will seem inelegant to an embarrassing degree. But that doesn't actually matter. The benefits of PHP easily overruled those inelegancies. When you look at the average Ruby/Python/NodeJS project that's been around for more than 10 years, you'll see horrors beyond human comprehension, just like PHP.
> “The temperature is 20 °C” translates to “The temperature is 78 °F”

Correction, 68°F.

> So 20 °C is either 78 °F

It's still 68°F.
I'm afraid that the endgame for this approach is that platform XYZ gets popular or a customer of a user of yours uses it. You have to integrate it or some of your customers will leave because they have to work outside your app. Repeat ten times in a couple of years. It's a lot of work for ever diminishing returns. But give it a try, there is nothing wrong with it. You might make a fair amount of money with only the people using the services supported now.

This would work brilliantly, but it would depend on the person. You would want somebody hyper critical and original to really question your teams bad decisions in order realign your trajectory and simultaneously provide mentorship. This means somebody with average agreeability or less, extremely high openness, and relatively high consciousness. This person needs to have the ability to really question your basic assumptions about software, experience as a solution provider, and excellent organizational skills like an architect, and superior communication skills the demonstrate both criticality and empathy (but absolutely not sympathy).

In the world of corporate software this person is a purple unicorn. You will likely want to bring in somebody from a different walk of life (yet still have a software background) where this personality set is more common yet has an aptitude for software and organization, which can include places like community organizer, military, project manager, logistics engineering, and so forth.

Also keep in mind that many developers are both entitled and have a super narrow perspective on how to proceed. Bringing in a part timer to shake things may result in emotional distress and immediate rejection from many developers, so this person needs a superior title. In the end it’s about saving the employer money and simultaneously increasing product quality first, and secondly increasing developer confidence and satisfaction. I would plan on two to four hours per week diving into the product and sprint planning, about two hours per week with one on ones, and another two hours per week on writing summaries for the team.

Very cool and it's a nice site too (I've only been to NYC once so it's good fodder for longing back). However this sentence made my alarm bells go off:

The first pneumatic tube mail system was installed in Philadelphia (sorry New York) in 1893. New York City’s came in 1897.

A quick check on Wikipedia [1] lists a bunch of earlier systems in Europe, but perhaps there's a silent "in the US" in the original article. That always seems odd to me though, when you're a website focusing on one of the world's top tourist attractions and writing in an international language. Oh well.

Windows 10 security group policy that looks like a display driver issue
I had this really strange issue occurring with my new laptop my company supplied me. When I would go to use an ink drawing tool for annotating on screen such as with Snip & Sketch, Onenote or Visio it would hesitate following the cursor and then start causing the screen to completely blank out for a few seconds while resuming. It appeared as if the graphics display driver was causing some hardware glitch - especially as all connected monitors would blank out. I tried updating display drivers and BIOS to no avail. Also raising a case with HP (the laptop maker) and my company IT helpdesk didn't get anywhere.

However after a bit of research I stumbled across a post on a Microsoft forum that indicated it might be an issue with privileges set by group policy. This turned out to be the same for me. It seems that in some environments the privileges for the Window Manager group get removed from the "Increase scheduling priority" security policy setting. It is a little tricky to actually add the Window Manager back in, but a helpful hint on the "SuperUser" forum helped. I show the issue in a video here https://youtu.be/SudkyGaO38Y and here I demonstrate after the fix is applied https://youtu.be/lfPzxGiTv98

I'm looking forward to CodeLlama being usable on a Dev system using some CPU offloading and only 32GB _while developing in an IDE_. Code Llama is great but using it alongside an IDE just kicks swapping into overdrive, and at least this will mitigate some of that loss on the LLM generation side (at least for the part in GPU ram).
Not sure why Netflix would be in your list. AFAIK, they run their cloudy stuff on AWS, which isn't too unusual; chaos monkey is neat though? Their CDN boxes are exotic because they run a lot of sessions at relatively pedestrian bandwidths and a lot times 5-20Mbps adds up to a huge number. There's real work there and it's impressive, but it doesn't need exotic network protocols. Bulk encryption offloading NICs are super handy for their use case, which is certainly somewhat exotic.

They haven't said much lately about sending content updates to their CDN nodes, but I think the throughput requirements on that isn't as high.
I find it bizarre that this is even a market in the US. I would think enabling people to do their taxes is a basic task of the government. Where I'm from the government provides a very simple click through filing system. Most information is auto filled from info the government already has or is manditorily shared with it such as my income as reported by my employer and any tax withholdings performed by them, securities holdings at brokers, houses registered on my name etc. I basically just have to click 'yep, that all sounds right', and I'm done. The tax authorities slogan over here is "we can't make doing your taxes fun, we can make it easy".

I figured some of the best ways to figure out where the box is located would be:

1: When does the sun go up or down (but the camera deactivates its nightvision at 0800, so it is hard to tell how bright it is).

2: note down when it starts raining and compare it with weather reports. Done consistency, then one would have a heat map that could pin point a region.

3: Animals (this morning a bird was recorded) could potentially narrow in where in the country, although i doubt that will be very effective.

4: Plants and trees: Identifying what is in the view could help.

5: Ideally, from a technical perspective then one would be able to pinpoint the ip address of the camera feed, but i am not clever enough to hack my way to something like that.

Think about it like this: Proper web apps means SPA, which means some giant stupid framework (Angular, React, Vue). These frameworks solve only two problems: architecture in a box and putting text on screen. They really don’t do anything else. That is why most frontend developers can’t do anything else.

The compile target of the browser is the DOM. This is just as true now as it was in 1998. If you want to do more than put text on screen you need to dive deeper. Your giant framework won’t/can’t give you that.
If the issue does appear. I will hire more people.

I'm running 7.0.10 and to share directories and clipboard data only the "guest additions" package is needed, which is free but closed source; no idea if they changed anything in newer versions though.
I would have migrated ages ago to fully FOSS alternatives, but every time I wanted to use a GUI interface to do something non trivial that would require more clicks on a shell (the above features, plus changing ethernet interface modes, etc), I had to struggle with the simple truth that the vast majority of FOSS developers don't have a clue when designing an UI that is not aimed at themselves but actual users (which would be also the case for a lot of other FOSS). There is simply no match, all FOSS virtualization GUIs are ages behind VB, and that hurts me because VB GUI is stupidly simple, but clearly very well thought when it comes to actual usability. People should realize that good interface designers aren't failed programmers, and there is a huge need for them, both in free and proprietary software.

> Someone writing words in a prompt and a photographer setting up a photoshoot are completely different! Different enough that we can easily draw a line between these activities.

That's why I didn't write "a photographer setting up a photoshoot"; I specifically wrote "a photographer who shoots a couple dozen photos on the go". Perhaps I should've written "a person owning a DSLR" or "amateur instagrammer" instead.

Point is, when discussing copyright both in general, and wrt. generative AI in particular, people tend to bucket together casual, amateur and professional photographers, making it seem that the former do the same kind of creative work as the latter. But that's not true, and not fair - there isn't much more effort or creativity going into casual photography, than there is into iterating a stable diffusion prompt until one finds something they like. Professional photographers have their generative-AI-user counterpart, but in form of an artist or graphic designer using AI-assist tools as part of their overall workflow.
No - An angle can be measured from an arbitrary point, and thus "0°" is not a true zero.

"0° on a circle" (for example) doesn't make sense. It has to be 0° _from somewhere._
