>I don't honestly care what shitty storefront something is on, as long as its not limited to one.

But that's not unique to paid exclusives. That's not even unique to Epic, Valve's own games are exclusive to a single storefront. You should boycott them for the same reason.

There is a cost to releasing games on multiple storefronts, forcing games to release on multiple stores only hurts smaller developers. Some smaller developers also skip storefronts altogether. Minecraft and Factorio were initially sold without any storefront. Is that still considered limited to one and therefore an exclusive?

>Besides publishers are already free to decide where the games they publish go or don't, so I'm not sure where the "too much power to publishers" thing is coming from.

I'm talking about cases where the storefront doesn't want to sell the game. Say the game has adult content, or the game has is just unfinished and not good. If storefronts are required to carry games. Otherwise games that only get accepted to a single store will continue to be exclusive to that single store.

Same thing with smaller developers, are they expected to cater to the whim of multiple storefronts to be able to release a game? One of my favorites, Zachtronic's Opus Magnum was rejected from GoG initially.
Unless you’re Jensen Huang. The man can certainly afford a few more leather jackets now.

I hope all this AI money sloshing around spurs other players to make compelling GPUs.
The future of AI is open not closed
Lots in the news this week regarding closed AI APIs. But it's been proven time and time again that the open approach wins in the end. There will always be a group of developers that aren't willing to adopt the closed approach. Companies like Hugging Face are the ones people will want to believe in and it will be hard to overcome. Just like what happened with Linux.
Yes, agreed. I'm kinda conflating the two things. This issue isn't so much 'adoption' of something like core web vitals, but just the fact that doing well on these standards impact ranking (and therefore older content ranks poorly).

T-Mo only recently bought Mint. They were separate for quite a while. There are still Mobile Virtual Network Operators out there that aren't owned by the big three, but a lot of the more popular ones were gobbled up by the companies operating the networks of those MVNOs.
My thoughts on being a principal/staff individual contributor and how to navigate the role.
Programmers here seem excited about the potential of this new version...but I can't help but wonder at how naive this attitude really is. Even if AI never becomes intelligent like us, if it can emulate this intelligence in enough domains, then it has a serious chance of being dangerous. It's already pretty much guaranteed that it will put almost everyone out of a job, turning the vast majority of humans into content-consuming sloths.

Does it really make sense to play with this kind of power?
This guy is now known beyond reasonable doubt to have committed research fraud multiple times. Why does he still have a job?
Per #2, the article you linked doesn’t conclude that DEI isn’t valuable, rather that it’s usually not executed effectively.

> That doesn't mean DEI efforts don't work. It is possible to create a program that spurs real change. But it must be reinforced with systems, processes, accountability and rewards, said Owyoung, and continually and actively measured.

And there’s more in the article highlighting the specific gains from doing DEI effectively.

Since the first SAR is filled with “transaction with no apparent economic, business or lawful purpose”, subsequent transactions from the same account would become "transactions with no apparent economic, business or lawful purpose". So, Banks are on the hook to file subsequent SARs. Banks exit customers after a couple of SARs in the name of de-risking.

One way to avoid getting out of this trap is to join the club of "private banking" services provided by big banks. It is like Airline's first class vs. economy class customers. Banks put different resources for private banking clients such as: (a) manual override by humans (b) reduce false positives by algorithms by tweaking parameters (c) specialized representatives, cust service folks.
"Reducing the number of steps might lead to some amazing efficiency breakthrough, but if you mention the step reduction and then stop, I'm going to assume it doesn't."

It doesn't (yet) and they do mention it:

"To date, maximum measured values of efficiency are still in the single digits, namely 5.6% for pure CO2-splitting and 4.1% for co-splitting CO2 and H2O."

Not great so far. Also Cerium is a rare earth, even though quite widespread.
Alas, in the US, the appellate courts in a madcap act of pro-big business judicial activism overrode the FCC's legislative mandate to insure fair and reasonable Unbundled Network Element (UNE) access for fiber. Where-as with DSL and other networking, there had been competitive ISP access to markets, the courts overruled the good work Congress & the FCC has done to favor pure corporate monopoly, for vague ass reasons:

> Thus, we determine that, particularly in light of a competitive landscape in which competitive LECs are leading the deployment of FTTH, removing incumbent LEC unbundling obligations on FTTH loops will promote their deployment of the network infrastructure necessary to provide broadband services to the mass market.

https://apps.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/FCC-03-36A1.pd...

This lead to a number of years of the FCC & courts walking back the good in progress work, 2001-2006, to create a court enforced monopoly over local & recently (things are still getting worse) long range fiber.

Truly one of the saddest worst boundaries America has towards becoming a respectable nation, where we can build utilities that compete to serve our people. Incredibly wild colossal pro-corporate pro-monopoly judicial activism out of no where. It's so unclear how America can re-decide, re-figure this out. The decisions of the court seem the most immutable, nearly impossible to change (although this Supreme Court is doing an amazing job ignoring & overturning precedent as is pleases then).

This should absolutely be changed, everywhere, asap. Good job Canada. Wish you well.
Maybe if it's a batcycle, judging from the pictures.

Ask HN: How do you translate markdown repositories?
I'm translating the Architecture Decision Record project to more languages. I'm seeking advice and guidance please: how are you all managing translations of git repos of content such as documentation and markdown files?

My experiments so far are here:

https://github.com/sixarm/locale-help

My work-in-progress is to create a top level directory `./locales`, then subdirectories per language using a ISO 639-1 two-letter language code, then content directories, for example:

./locales/en/hello/ (this is in English)

./locales/es/hola/ (this is in Español a.k.a. Spanish)

What do you use to track which content directories correspond to each other across languages?

The Architecture Decision Record repo is now mostly auto-translated into Spanish, French, Welsh, and Korean, in the top level directory `./locales`, using the program `slug-case` to help translate the markdown content file headlines into directory names:

I’m not even remotely close to being a professional photographer or videographer, but I’ve used camera phones (including old iPhones) with amazingly poor performance in anything but the brightest light. Careful attention to lighting might have involved lighting scenes painfully brightly, which causes its own problems.

Modern phone cameras seem to perform at least as well as I remember early fancy digital cameras performing, and they really are good enough for a lot of purposes. (But they still can’t do a good job of blurring the background. I keep expecting ML advances to improve this, but even latest-generation iPhones produce pretty bad results IMO in portrait mode.)
I haven't tried it yet, but people in the /r/chatgpt subreddit are claiming GPT-4-Turbo seems to have issues with understanding/remembering longer (say 100 lines) of code, whereas 3.5 and 4.0 seem to have handled things a bit better, implying that the context-window size isn't (currently) as large as claimed.

Anyone else seeing any evidence of this?

Have you even read the Federalist papers? A huge amount of consideration was spent on making sure a vocal and scheming minority could not usurp their design.
I agree that we would need testing and trials before it could be rolled out. Many trucks in the US are already implementing these for various reasons. Other countries are already mandating this.

The European Union is introducing mandatory “Intelligent Speed Assist” in 2024 which requires a lot of the technology that you’re referring to.

I think the real obstacle to this is no longer technological but political
Agreed, this is single handedly making me hate chatgpt for coding. I wish OpenAI would respect it's paying users enough to say what the changes and limitations are. (but i guess like google, i am not openai's customer. Their investors are. i am the product).

Show HN: Sqids (formerly Hashids) – Generate short unique IDs from numbers
More than 10 years ago, I released the first version of Hashids in PHP, an encoding library to generate unique IDs from numbers [0]. Over the years, many developers have converted the library to plenty of other programming languages. It was nice to see it grow, but there were always a few things that bothered me about the original algorithm, so a few months ago I've decided to try and address those issues.

With lots of help from the community, we've rebranded the library to Sqids (you can see the proposed changes here [1]).

The new library generates unique IDs faster and with a simpler algorithm. You can read all about it on the FAQ page [2] and try it out via the playground [3]. As always, feedback is welcome via HN or Github.

As a pro photographer, I can say that an iPhone would be useless for 95% of my work. Even a used $500 camera would be more suitable....
As brilliant as these bootstrap efforts are, I wonder if it would be a good decision to abandon all the business and application software in a civilization collapse. Someone on the GitHub project page for collapseos made a good comment to the effect of having gone through the software and hardware limitations of the late 70s and 80s, wouldn’t it be better to get follow the best practices of the era without the patent limitations? I think as I go along, I agree more and more with mental model. Esoteric hardware aside, it would be best to come up with a base model for the era of early personal computers then figure out a way to bootstrap a freedos on top of a unix type of operating system underneath and time share on top for users to log in using terminals. But that’s just my mode of thinking. Originally collapseos seemed to follow the BASIC model then it became about forth.

Then a first time setup may be okay. People assume everything is safe because there's a green lock icon but the situation must change for improving the actual users privacy.

While dialogue fatigue is true, browsers can take care of offloading the cookie dialogues if there were a standard for it.

As a scientist I see it the other way, where people will just ignore future discoveries and science and this goes on the trash pile with other bad science that makes the public distrust science. We saw the endgame of that with Covid and it was really ugly.

5G is awesome. Finally decently reliable, low latency, fast, and cheap wireless home internet is available on 5G carriers.

A family member of mine uses T-Mo's contract-free 5G home internet. Latency low enough for video calls enabling WFH and playing online games. Speeds in the hundreds of megabits even during peak hours. $50/mo no contract.

I can take my cheap laptop around, pair it to my phone, and get the same internet pretty much anywhere in town. I can do cloud gaming or work anywhere I get cell service. I pay $15/mo no contract. It's awesome.

I think Haskell or OCaml would do a better job on the ADTs for a parse tree. When doing this, I found Rust's enums... anemic... and got very annoyed by the awkwardness of having to Box recursive types. I was reaching for the ability to continue to be able to pattern match on nodes while attaching common attributes (line numbers, etc.) and ended up having to bury everything 1 level deep in a struct which ended up feeling awkward.

That and Rust's iterators are terrible at introducing ownership agony.

In any case, I've ... done it (https://github.com/rdaum/moor/blob/main/crates/compiler/src/...) but can't say I liked it.

I do really like "pest" as a parser generator though. In general, yes, the Rust ecosystem is bigger/richer, and growing.

I mean, personally i kind of like it because it helps stop cults of personalities a little bit - when everything is done in the name of the (absent) king, people are less likely to form a cult around the PM who has real power.

However i think most canadians just dont really care and it would be a big fuss to remove the king. Anytime anyone tries to change the canadian constitution everyone tries to get their interests in so its easier to just let sleeping dogs lie.

I am not usually one to defend celebrities, but this is absurd. A celebrity spokesperson is essentially no different than a contractor or consultant for a company, just more high profile. Its not like Larry David and Tom Brady were given a run down of their books and internal processes. You might as well go over the every caterer they ever hired or the people they hired to clean their offices.

Meanwhile the investors in FTX almost assuredly had some idea on their internal processes and would have been aware of the lack of chief compliance officer.

Based on rumors, it seems that because the demand is so high and supply so short, that Nvidia is having to select who gets the cards. I bet they're likely thinking about who can do the most impactful work and OpenAI would definitely be in the running for the short list of companies who are actually shipping. So I bet OpenAI / Microsoft got a lot of the newest cards.

It’s way too late to pretend AI won’t have an impact on programming as a profession.

Better to be excited and learn the tool as it develops than to stick your head in the sand.

A world where AI has put literally everyone “out of a job,” meanwhile, is still so far from our current reality that IMO, it’s not worth making practical day-to-day decisions on unless you are directly involved in the development or regulation of AI.
