> What I'd like is to be able to put a different OS on my phone.... if the iPhone were not locked down we would have a proliferating open source OS community around it and everyone would benefit directly and indirectly.

There are plenty of Android phones available for that. The OS choices are technically interesting, but not suitable for anyone but the most dedicated techie. I probably wouldn't call the situation "proliferating" either. At least not on a level where everyday people would see the benefit.

But in any event, developing a well-functioning phone OS take billions of dollars, especially when it comes to regulatory things like radio use. And even more especially when it comes to phone companies certifying the phone for use.

Opening the iPhone wouldn't make any difference there, with things on the Android side as strong evidence of that.
The guidelines stipulate answering to the strongest version of their argument, I did that while staying true to real demographics. The guidelines notably do not stipulate I must respond to any argument someone makes by assuming every statement is true.

In the spirit of being kind and avoiding snark, that'l be the end of this chain :)
The only correct response to that is walking out with your middle finger in the air.
Google also proposed uninitialized resize, and the ability to treat string as if it were unique_ptr, by just giving it some already-allocated buffer. You can tell they use these internally because the fingerprints of these features are all over the protocol buffers open source libraries. I believe none of them have been adopted by the standard.

Holy shit, this is what lawyers still do--I always thought the developers who built the shitty enterprise software used by law firms knew this was garbage "version control", and wondered what they thought of it--but now you're telling me that the developers of that old dotcom era software themselves used a similar flow? for software engineering? insane
could you please list some of those tools?
They fill two different niches, daScript is statically typed, AoT compiled and attempting to outperform LuaJIT, Quirrel is dynamically typed and better for writing game logic.

Note that Quirrel is a fork of Squirrel (in early 2019), which is a language very heavily inspired by Lua (you could say Lua-done-over) with a very similar embedding API, but much more like a typical OO language rather than quirky (which makes it very similar to Javascript). Squirrel was most famous used by many Valve games like Portal 2 and L4D2, and I recommend it. Quirrel attempts to make Squirrel more Python-like, easier, add tooling like static analysis and tests, and to continue development, as Squirrel has only received the odd bugfix for years and been neglected. I've been watching Quirrel for years, and development has been picking up. They seem to have about 1.5-2 people working on it fulltime. The language is diverging more and more from Squirrel (and further towards Python) and getting bigger.

Doesn't a tax credit just mean you don't have to pay tax on that amount? If you're at, say, a ~20% tax bracket, then it discounts the price by $7,500 * .20, or $1,500 total, bringing the price for a Chevy Bolt to $25,000. Of course there's then taxes and nonsense fees added on top, and the figure you quoted is the base model with no options, so realistically, even after the tax credit, you're looking at above $30,000 for it.
Ask HN: How major newspapers make editorial decisions?
The Israel - Gaza conflict coverage in New York Times and other such caliber journalism sources is heartbreaking beyond imagination.

I can’t help but notice the coverage articles does not allow comments. I am curious from a journalist’s perspective how such decisions are made? On the receiving end feels that they disable this because the news outlet may be afraid to unearth 1) how people really feel about this and/or 2) something that is not in alignment with their point of view or agenda.

How do news outlets make such calls. What are the factors considered. Who is responsible for making such calls.

It would be great if people can shed light on the why behind the actions.

I agree that Klipper is a big part of siphoning off the high-end userbase who was most prone to spend money on their printer parts and ecosystem.

I went Klipper a little reluctantly at first when I built a semi-custom printer and the community seemed to all lean that way. As soon as I “got it”, I switched away from Marlin and Sailfish on my other printers to now be all-Klipper. There’s nothing “wrong” with octoprint per-se, but mainsail is indeed more usable for me in the Klipper ecosystem.
I tried Airport CEO but never really got into it. Too much focus on running the business and designing the interior of the terminal building, and not enough detail/control on designing runways, taxiways, hangars, lighting, and performing various airport ops. It's pretty nice if you're interested in a business sim though.
Is DALL-E 3 and GPT-V now supported in the API?
The author is just spitballing in their role as a Cloudflare shill. They don’t actually know jack shit about public cloud netops or pricing strategy.

The so-called “bandwidth alliance” they spruik so hard is a negotiating vehicle for Cloudflare, intended to improve their position when haggling over peering, to support profitability of their DDoS protection service.
Awesome. I love sims like this.

On a cringe note based on hype cycles from couple years ago.. Imagine a future where nobody has to work.

Instead people get so bored they will log in to play simulators where they can farm, be ATC or ground crew, drive trucks.

To each their own, I guess. Those sites might not have designs that you like, but that doesn't necessarily mean the designs are bad.

The bit advantage of Git is that you can fork anything, and keep your own forks synced with the world, or not. For small projects, you never have to worry about granting permissions or any of that, there's no one true version problem either.

My first version control system was pkZip and a stack of floppy disks. I went through SVN and Mercurial, but only as a way to interact with existing projects. Git is so much easier to deal with (especially once you grok that it just takes snapshots of everything). The Windows installation process is painless, so why not use it?

Git/Git GUI made it trivial to keep a Lazarus/Free Pascal project on a non-networked computer at work synced with a copy on a thumbdrive, then syncing that with a copy on my desktop, and at github, was all a piece of cake.
I'm pretty sure that'll change when we go full ray/path tracing, because it parallelises much, much better than rasterisation.
SVN (and CVS) was way better than VSS.

SVN was open source so there were multiple clients. And it was web based. And branching made sense. And you didn’t have to lock out files.

And the VSS client was just really horrible and only worked on windows. SVN worked everywhere.
What would people want this to look like? Is there a backlog anywhere of stuff people would want?

Edit: I was thinking maybe something that reads from an rtl or airspy, or maybe soapy? Then takes requests for channels over websockets from a wasm front end, then have the demod wasm side? And a waterfall streamed as a video to aid in making the channel selection? It would save bw to put demod server side, but this way clients could use custom demods if they want.
With an allocation of size n, you have capacity for n-1 characters and the trailing 0, and the trailing 0 does not count as a character. If you double the size of the allocation to 2n, the capacity increases to 2(n-1) + 1.
No, that's how tax deductions work. With a credit you just get the amount (there's still some nuances based off tax liability, but the updated law for those is going into effect soon)

I have used metaclasses one time in my career, to simplify the way we generated a schema, in a framework where things are defined using classes.

I agree with you in that it's nice to know that metaclasses exist, and that you can potentially reach for them in a pinch.

I also think you can go really far in Python development without ever needing to know about metaclasses.
It does, but they are not the same as moonrises from earth.

No, it is a straight tax rebate. If you paid over $7,500 in US Federal taxes, then you get to deduct $7,500 off the taxes owed (not your income). But you don't get to carry forward any if say you only paid $6,000 in taxes (but your tax bill for that year would be $0). Also, my state currently has a much reduced sales tax rate for electric vehicles. Source: I did this when I bought an EV.

Don't forget entertainment, I always seem to hear mostly american songs being played in stores, or see American movies played in theaters when I travel to Europe.

Also food: While other countries can compete on one of their native cuisines or many a few more, the US is pumping out top tier chefs in multiple areas.

Also universities: The massive amount of investment and R&D that comes out of these schools allows them to remain top of the pack.
That's not a bug. Small nonprofits generally are more cost-effective. If they deliver on the cause you want in a scale that makes sense to you, they're where you want to put your charity for the greatest impact.

But maybe they can't organize around your cause because the coordination and scale is too large. That's what large non-profits are good for. They burn efficiency on overhead, but can coordinate larger and grander projects.

It's a whole ecosystem. Experienced people are almost never comparing the cost-efficiency of a small organization and a large one for the same cause; they're using it to compare peers within whatever other criteria.

You nailed it. General intelligence doesn't mean human intelligence. It doesn't mean superhuman intelligence. AGI is just:

- A: Artificially manufactured substrate

- G: Proficient across a broad set of reasonably distinct mental skills

- I: Applies combinations of these skills to contextually solve novel problems within the scope of its skill set

That's it. Intelligence is a spectrum, with knobs for "skill count", "skill proficiency", and "novel problem proficiency."

Any requirements past that are often vague or anthropocentric. No, the intelligent agent doesn't need to "see" (but now many do, so...happy?) or check off some arbitrary set of modalities. Intelligence doesn't necessitate episodic memory, or real-time reactions, or consciousness or anything else that -- once we check all the boxes -- the "general intelligence" light switch will suddenly flip on. Intelligence is a spectrum to be observed, not prescribed with some arbitrary checklist that'll never find consensus.

GPT-4V is pretty damn broadly intelligent. To me, it's a rudimentary AGI. The extent to which the "statistical parrot" people hold their position just depends on how quickly they can move goalposts while the ground beneath them rapidly shrinks.
That's only from orbit. The Moon is tidally locked to Earth, so Earth remains in roughly the same spot in the sky.
I think I'm missing something here. Do they sell servers or are they selling some interesting service where you can buy a server AND they physically host the machine in their own data centers? If the former, what value add do they provide over IBM/SuperMicro/[INSERT COMPUTER COMPANY HERE]? The custom OS? You could get 99% of the way there with bare-metal Kubernetes.
They're probably referring to this photo [0]. This effect was actually due to the fact they were on the spacecraft in motion, but it's apparently possible to have an earthrise near the edges of the Earth-visible portion of the moon, because the Moon isn't completely stationary relative to earth:

> Because the Moon is tidally locked with the Earth, one side of the Moon always faces toward Earth. Interpretation of this fact would lead one to believe that the Earth's position is fixed on the lunar sky and no earthrises can occur; however, the Moon librates slightly, which causes the Earth to draw a Lissajous figure on the sky. This figure fits inside a rectangle 15°48' wide and 13°20' high (in angular dimensions), while the angular diameter of the Earth as seen from Moon is only about 2°. This means that earthrises are visible near the edge of the Earth-observable surface of the Moon (about 20% of the surface). Since a full libration cycle takes about 27 days, earthrises are very slow, and it takes about 48 hours for Earth to clear its diameter.

This is a good question. “a new car no matter what it is” is very vague and it is unclear if “no matter what it is” includes ICE cars.
I think you're right about GitHub. I preferred Mercurial but GitHub was a real draw for the git side =)
There is no GPT-V, there is GPT-4V which adds the image recognition component to GPT-4. I believe the API for both this and DALL-E 3 is releasing sometime early November.
It would be cool to package Wasm for every platform easily. You could make a hermit runner for android that loads the module and wasi configuration from the hermit, but uses its own runtime instead of the one embedded in the hermit.

Excluding the Wasm runtime, the hermit's runner or hermit base is under 400 LOC:
https://github.com/dylibso/hermit/blob/1f6f51d0d6b3941c9616f... . Instead of reading the configuration and module from /zip you would use zip decoder on the hermit you want to run.
I use DNS level blocking, it syncs with everything I use, and has better compatibility and faster rendering performance (battery life). Don't want to use FF on Windows either due to the mentioned issues. On windows I have also found FF RAM usage is significantly higher.
yep, performance issues are just less important than functionality issues in the lead-up to a release. You can fix performance with a patch. It's hard to walk back "game crashes when I trigger the main menu"

Everywhere else in the world, "customer service" means answering a telephone and following a script. In Japan, "customer service" means "a guy in a suit and tie will come to your hostel to hand-deliver a rental cellphone, show you how it works, and remind you very politely to return it within the rental window or you will face overage charges". It's truly a different planet.

linux ntfs support seems sort of hit or miss.

For example, I have a dual-boot arch/win system with 2 ntfs partitions and a with a recent update the linux kernel ntfs driver can't mount the filesystems, have to fall back to the fuse implementation.

It also didn't seem to be able to do things like set system flags hsra, but I found a way with the fuse implementation.

Sure. I agree that the title is incredibly clickbaity and misleading, but I really appreciated that the author took the time to explain the nuance of how misleading "average" can be when looked at in isolation and how the typical American actually looks like financially. With that, I was a bit disappointed to come to the comments and see that people still wanted to do the typical internet "well actually" and make the same exact point that was made in the article.
I needed this, I write python all the time but I know I am not a pro and the language features always change. I just never needed asyncio for example. Maybe it's my C experience in the past speaking but for most use cases I prefer to use simple features anyone who is invested in python can reas easily so that others in the future can maintain it. So, I don't go out of my way to look for special and advanced ways to speed up python or make it more efficient. If performance was that important to me, I would use something like Go, which at least as of 2yrs ago was somehow even simpler than Python and faster.
Is this still a knock on effect from pandemic supply chain issues? If you only had a limited supply of integrated circuits, it probably made more sense to build the more expensive cars?
I was thinking of this as being a feature for GPT-4.

See "The Great Automatic Grammatizator" (1954) [1] Prompt engineering, the early years.

"Finally, there was the question of “passion”. From a careful study of the books at the
top of the best-seller lists for the past year, Adolph Knipe had decided that this was the
most important ingredient of all—a magical catalyst that somehow or other could
transform the dullest novel into a howling success—at any rate financially. But Knipe
also knew that passion was powerful, heady stuff, and must be prudently dispensed—the
right proportions at the right moments; and to ensure this, he had devised an
independent control consisting of two sensitive sliding adjusters operated by foot-
pedals, similar to the throttle and brake in a car. One pedal governed the percentage of
passion to be injected, the other regulated its intensity."
