I'm so glad to see all of your comments here. I've been fascinated by your setup ever since hearing about it on the Oxide and Friends podcast. The part that I'm most curious about is the part where you weave together auto-generated interface code with hand-implemented mock implementations… I'll have to go read your code and see how that happens.

[Edit, after reading a bit of the code]

Am I correct in understanding that the generated code maps API calls to a typed interface, and then the hand-built implementation simply implements that interface?

So rather than complex weaving where you want hand-coded function bodies but generated signatures, you have generated signatures, where each function body calls a method on a generated interface.

I knew this was going to happen but I thought they'd wait until there was more broad adoption before the screws started turning.

In order to implement the filter, you now need enormous bureaucracies tasked with tracking and identifying people to filter, equally enormous agencies to enforce the filters, you get endless loop politicians fighting who should be filtered, you get endless lobbying pro and con filtering certain people, you get lots of people who make it their career to evade the filters and another even larger crowd who make it their purpose in life to persecute those who avoid the filter and on and on. All of this is pure waste on society.

That's why UBI is a better idea. Just pay to everyone, remove all the nonsense overhead from being able to exist and move on.
Yes, skating is mentioned in a graph near the end.
They perform several model runs with slightly different configurations and then compare the predictions to a reference period, currently 1991-2020. When they say "above average", most model runs fell in the upper tercile of the reference period and the probability is derived from the fraction.
So LN's market share in venues and acts is smaller than TM's market share for ticketing, and LN tried to use their venue/promotion business to launch their own ticketing platform and couldn't compete with TM... but right now the only reason people use TM is because of LN?

Surely, if LN's dominance is what is needed to lock up the ticketing market, LN's ticketing platform should have been able to compete with TM quite well, and TM should have been struggling to succeed in the ticketing market prior to being acquired by LN.
Cool, so there are AI meetups, which are finite sessions inside random cafes and businesses. But what about literally everything outside those meetups, like the horrifying human experience involved in the commute/walk/bike to and from said meetups?
The problem with the current Qualcomm cores is that they are cheap and low power, but the new Nuvia cores should alleviate this.

...But be careful what you wish for. There have been some promising ARM core designs (Samsung's Mongoose series, Nvidia's Denver/Carmel) that all ended being worse than tweaked ARM-designed cores.

Others (Marvell's SMT ThunderX series, Fujitsu's HPC A64FX) were too niche, and ultimately discontinued.

Also, based on the M2's rather limited gains, some are suggesting that the M1 was an anomalously good design, and that Apple can't necessarily keep that massive edge.

I also like the Pi 3A+ as an in-between. Especially before the release of the Zero2 as the Zero1's CPU was a bit too weak.

From RPi5's FAQ:

> Raspberry Pi 5 is a higher-performance computer than Raspberry Pi 4, and you may have problems using an under-powered supply. We recommend a high-quality 5V 5A USB-C power supply, such as the new Raspberry Pi 27W USB-C Power Supply.

As mentioned in a previous HN discussion, not only was RPi5 designed to require a nonstandard power supply, the official "high-quality" power supply for the RPi4 is also considerably underpowered at 15W at 5.1V-3A[1] while RPi5 stands at 27W at 5V-5A.

Pedantically - never, because in the strictest sense it is not specified enough for that.

But perhaps someone could make a "wasm-but-it's-actually-RISCV-underneath" kinda thing.
Nvidia should really be able to do both. Their integrated solutions like Orin scale up to a certain point, but the demand for modular compute is still enormous on the server side (and enthusiast market). Given that CUDA will support both going forward, I don't think there's a technical incentive to kill the market.

My guess is that Nvidia will have a line of mobile cores/chipsets for integrators that want them, while also offering PCI-enabled boards for gamers and enthusiasts. Even Apple can't outrun the demand for a PCI-enabled machine, and they don't even support eGPUs. Nvidia's incentive to abandon ATX (or at least modularity) is even slimmer.

COBOL on Wheelchair: Micro web-framework for COBOL
> Let’s say your app also allows promotional codes to be used, and that promo codes in your app live outside Stripe, because Stripe does not support promo codes for your type of product. What this means in practice is that before calling Stripe’s confirmPayment, you have to send a request to your server with the promo code that the user wants to apply. This request can respond in one of two ways - either the promo code is valid, or it isn’t. If it is valid, then you can go ahead and call confirmPayment. If it isn’t valid, then you need to render validation errors.

This is an extremely trivial bit of JavaScript, but it is made difficult because it is trying to use a JavaScript framework developed by people who hate JavaScript. Do the form validation on the client side to give users instant feedback and then do final validation on the server side where you enforce business rules. These are two different kinds of validation and it's not actually effort saving to try to combine them. If you have good client side validation, you can just be a hard ass on the server side because you know that anyone who gets the server side error is already bypassing client side validation, so they are being naughty to begin with. It makes like easier to keep the validation separate.

I beg to differ on the concept that github became popular because it integrated social media features.

I would assert that github became popular because it offered free online git repo hosting.

The social media stuff was only long after the fact, and accelerated under M$ ownership.

An old adage was: Every s/w evolves until it becomes an email client

The modern version is: Every s/w evolves until it becomes facebook...

Companies look at what's "popular" and try to make their products into that.

This is a significant contributor to s/w failing to perform its "primary" function...
I'm not on this particular mailing list, but sometimes I'll get emails like this where they clearly only made templating work for HTML mail and also only tested HTML mail, but they also send a multipart with text/plain which I prefer.

But then, sometimes the templating doesn't work for either part, or they only send an HTML template that hasn't been substituted.

But you know, the addressograph was only invented 130 years ago. Sending out mass mail is still pretty new.

You're talking in the order of hundreds of thousands of those things to replace the current electricity production of the world. A conservative number for their cost is in the order of 10 million dollars per unit. Therefore, around 1 trillion dollars to replace all the worlds electricity. Multiply by 10 just to be safe and consider cost of land, cost of maintenance and operation and the fact that those things don't work at peak capacity all the time: so around 10 trillion dollars. That's about the amount of money the world pays for petrol in 3 years. Let's also consider that the cost of those things will go down as we build more and become more efficient at building them.

The world has everything to gain by building as many of those as current wind patterns permit.
Nice! SF is still the best place for tech startups.
ITT: people who read scientific articles by skimming the pictures.

The proposal isn't "springs under your feet" it's "springs along your legs that you load while your leg is in the air". The point is that by loading the spring with a leg which is otherwise not doing anything you're able to increase the overall energy output of the body. Their Fig. 2 shows exactly the (theoretical) difference between the naive "jumping stilts" approach and what they're suggesting.

> Cycling is faster than running partly because (i) the rolling motion of the wheels prevents collisional energy losses from stepping but also because (ii) wheels can support the weight of the body in place of the legs, while (iii) pedals enable the human to supply energy continuously in the air instead of intermittently when the leg is on the ground .

Super interesting to see that they still can't outperform cycling. Presumably their proposal resolves most or all of point (iii), so the difference is from (i-ii). I would assume that, of these, (ii) would be the hardest to replace with any kind of leg attachment
Everyone but apple uses ARM-designed cores. Why are ARM-designed cores behind? Go check what the comp is for a CPU designer at apple, and then go check what it is at ARM. Suddenly, you'll be overcome with a feeling of clarity.
I'll take the other side of this.

There are of course bad and average eng managers who have skills that are subpar. Let's keep them out of this discussion - they should be fired.

But the majority of eng managers who have the chops probably can't be in the weeds (even if they'd like to) because their plate is full of other nonsensical shit. Meetings, reviews, more meetings, planning, more meetings, and so on that effectively fills up the productive and creative part of the brain and day. At the end you're left with very little brain space to dig into, understand, and guide complex technical decisions.

No one needs to cry a tear for them or empathize but I suspect that's the reality.

> It gets adjusted nearly every year for most people.

For inflation, yes. Real re-valuations that mark the house to market are a lot more rare, and tend to only happen when a house is sold.

> No, you can't. Not really.

I have personally done this a couple of times, and all it tends to take is a nice letter explaining why the value is too high. At worst you need to get a new appraisal to support the letter. The value is rarely too high, though.

Property taxes in my area are also relative: the tax rate floats depending on how much the local government needs to raise. The sum of the appraisals for the city is added up, and your property tax is your proportional share of the total amount that needs to be raised. For me, that's usually around 1-1.5%.

This is all to say that property tax is not at all a tax on unrealized gains of your house. It's a tax on an imaginary number that occasionally adjusts to be similar to your unrealized gains, and often even has a rate that floats relative to it.
But that doesn't answer the question as to why Ticketmaster had exclusive deals with the venues. Why would every decent venue go with Ticketmaster?

I'm bilingual and frequently use English and Arabic together.

What I'm used to is that the caret is unchanged.

The best setup I've seen out there is web browsers with dir set to auto and using properties like padding-start instead of padding-left.

If I start a block with an LTR character the content is automatically left-aligned and vice versa.

The annoying issue comes up when you have bidi characters in the middle of RTL (e.g. Comma or exclamation mark), all tools I've currently seen just break, I have no idea where the cursor is, or where it will move to when I press my arrow keys. I would prefer that bidi characters are treated the same way as the paragraph or block they're in.

I wrote an article a while back with some GIFs that showcases these difficulties:

https://blog.prototypr.io/the-case-of-the-jumping-dot-17f97a...

I've not found any software that gets it all right when it comes to mixed direction content, but for RTL-only then most of the popular word processors (e.g. Google Docs) are quite good with some tweaking.

Happy to chat more on this.

Password-masking functions are not usually what's referred to as "cryptographically-secure hash", e.g. unsalted SHA-2 is one but not the other. For example resistance to enumeration or rainbow tables is not a requirement for cryptographic hash functions, but is important for good password-hashing functions.

Cynically, Google may be supporting this legislation because it believes that it will mandate that Browsers be secured from modification that could undermine the efficacy of the legislation.

They have that Chrome change, whose name eludes me, which provides secure Browser validation to the host; this legislation would make use of that feature ubiquitous and mandatory.
The story doesn't start with "Nakba" though. For those who don't want to Google, this is the brief history leading up to this event:

Turks rule over the territory of modern day Israel. It's part desert (Negev) part swamps. The land is pretty bad for agriculture, the locals are poor as dirt. Pretty much a place you'd call a "hole".

Series of pogroms in Russian empire lead to, beside other things, a stream of Jewish refugees wanting to settle in this "hole" because of a tradition they kept for thousands years that called this "hole" their home.

They want to buy land from the locals, when none in their right mind would. Many locals are tempted by the offer and the prospect of becoming city dwellers, wage workers... only to discover that nobody's going to hire them. They burn through the money they got from selling their land and sharply sink into even more abject poverty. Jews won't sell the land back, and even if they would, there's no money to buy it back. Jews also won't hire them.

So locals need a way out. A bunch of landless peasants who have neither the skills nor finances to start new industrial life in the city. They start blaming the Jews for swindling them out of their properties. And, of course, there were also cases of Jews taking advantage of the locals, so, that reinforces the idea that Jews should be purged from their land.

Comes World War I, Brits take over this territory, but they aren't really interested in solving the local disputes. They want order. So, whoever starts the fight gets a kick in the teeth from the occupational government. Arabs tend to get the short end of the stick more often. This leads Nazi Germans to side with the Arabs to mess with the Brits. Grand mufti gets great reception from Hitler, gets a title of honorary Aryan... picking up few other related ideas along the way.

The nice mufti guy organizes the blockade of Jerusalem with the intention to starve all the Jews living there. Not to mention inspiring few other incidents leading up to Jewish deaths. Jews either appeal to Brits, or seeing how Brits aren't eager to step in, retaliate themselves.

Comes the end of World War II, Brits finally had enough of the headache with this mess. Everyone feels like Jews need some kind of compensation for what happened to them during the war, so Brits push for the UN resolution legitimizing the Israeli state. Needless to mention the local Arabs are infuriated by this decision, since this would seal the fate of their lost lands forever. They go for an all-out war, but lose. This war and subsequent defeat is what today they call "Nakba" (catastrophe).
A horrifying human experience is living in a war zone. It’s not having to move to a different bart car or endure a pan handler requesting money.
Yeah, someone will certainly make a tool to strip that out. This doesn't seem as useful for cheating, but more as a notice for content that was AI generated. That could be useful just as an indicator for general website content. Presumably there are also trivial watermarks for images/video/audio. Of course it can be easily foiled, so it's more of a disclaimer out of politeness.
I changed the terminology as suggested and was immediately down voted to -4.
We can get that with x86.

We just don't, because it's cheaper to clock the chips higher and burn more power, and to keep large graphics seperate from the CPU.

Intel's/AMD's attempts at addressing this (Broadwell/Skylake with eDRAM, Vega M, AMD's Van Gogh and Dragon Crest) were universally shot down by laptop OEMs. I don't know why, but they were probably just being cheap.
> Microsoft's plans take aim at Apple, which has nearly doubled its market share in the three years since releasing its own Arm-based chips in-house for its Mac computers.

I know that Mac was always in single digit marketshare (but still a healthy amount as far as money for apple goes) but still doubling seems to be quite an achievement?

I am curious if this is actually from an increase in Mac sales or a decrease in PC sales and Mac has just been stable? Or a mix of both. I will need to look this up. (Side note: I HATE when we see something as unhelpful as "doubled" and they could have included some numbers at least).

On the topic of the article, I was kinda surprised to see that Microsoft has some initiates for Windows on Arm. I know it was technically a thing but it seemed like a thing that we just stopped hearing about?

Do they have an answer to rosetta so the transition can be mostly seamless (for everyone except developers if the M series is any indication...).

Also I have to wonder how much pre-built Windows computers are still sold vs moving to non traditional platforms like an iPad?

I am curious because gaming will likely never move to arm. Unless I have missed it I have never seen ARM in a system that you can build yourself. Even Apple's ARM Mac Pro is questionably "Customizable" after the fact. I just don't see most PC gamers giving up the upgradability.

I’m going to be a contrarian and say that I really appreciate that they went for a high performing/more expensive SoC this time.

When I had to buy a SBC last time I couldn’t bring myself to get the Pi 4 because it was missing core features (4K HDR decode) vs the alternatives. But I love the community around Raspberry Pi and it’ll definitely increase my options with this SBC.
> The only success I’ve heard is from folks grinding it out and playing the numbers game

I'm still early in my career despite rising rapidly, so I've never had a job search that wasn't "just" a numbers game. But it's given me reasonable success, and something I've always wondered is: instead of painstakingly cultivating your resume for each job posting you come across, why not just write 1 accurate one and put that effort into, say, finding and applying to 10 positions per day for a few months?

Maybe the only reason people don't do this is the obvious one: It's really hard to find 900 open positions to apply to without moving cities unless you live in like, Los Angeles or something.
