>It's a weird strawman: Nevermind that the world is broken. You're just on your phone too much.

You've missed and/or are proving the point.

Would it shock you to learn that there are large segments of the population who aren't in a doom loop of "the world is broken"?
Agreed. So why do they remain glued to them. Why don't they just turn the phone off and put it down?
We wrote MUCH smaller programs.
OpenAI is going to show us how closed they are and who’s startup that they are going to kill.

First it was Jasper, then the Chat with PDF apps and now it will be the custom chatbot services like Chatbase.

The second biggest lie by OpenAI after its now contradictory namesake, is that it competes against its own partners after denying that they don’t. [0]

Just finished reading it and agree with the author's opinion that LLMs can't write this type of well-researched content. Interesting post!
I think the most cited drawback of rebase - public branch refs becoming obsolete - is not applicable when you only use it to pull from a canonical remote.

> Prison.

If people start using prison as this "one weird trick they don't want you to know" to not pay rent, this problem will be solved pretty quickly too (if it isn't already, as the other commenter suggests forced prison labor is a thing in some places).
I assume that “with” is meant to be “without”?
You should see what products like Signiant do
Well, either no, or I would not know, as the point is C++ programmers are not nearly as self-congratulatory.
The concern is that the restrictions would follow the pattern of existing rules around semiconductor equipment and fabricated chips [1].

They are fairly broad and stipulate that US persons cannot transfer technology to any company on an entity list. iirc there was a clarification to the rule that also put a burden on US persons to confirm that they aren't working with a trading front or shell company for the listed entities, which makes any interaction potentially hazardous, because how are you even supposed to check for that?

Note that violations of these rules can "include up to 20 years of imprisonment and up to $1 million in fines per violation, or both" [2]. And the use of "US persons" language means that it's not just companies, it's individual developers too.

If you read the text of the rules, they restrict any kind of technology transfer to these companies. In the case of selling fabrication equipment, that's...fairly clear cut. Don't sell stuff to people on the list, and your deal was probably a few million dollars anyways so you can afford lawyers to research if you're dealing with a shell company.

But the concern is for RISC-V "technology transfer", what happens if you push to a git repository, and...someone from one of these entities pulls your commits? Are you now liable? What if you give a lecture on RISC-V, and someone from one of these entities was in attendance?

Or perhaps you're in charge of crafting an IP strategy for your SoC company. If you pick RISC-V, the ambiguous and changing rules around who you can license your products to is problematic; a client you have today could end up being banned tomorrow. Whereas if you license an ARM core, you don't have to worry about going to jail. It then becomes a no-brainer to just license the ARM core.

Basically, the concern is they will copy/paste the existing rules that are somewhat more tightly confined because they apply to atoms, but instead insert language referring to bits and ideas.

I do squash merges but keep the feature branches. So after determining that I made a change as part of a big pull request, I can then look at the commit/blame history for the pull request source branch if necessary.
Compiling and editing together my travel footage for my YouTube vlog. I've had the fortune to have traveled to 96 countries in my life so far, and have been posting a vlog for every country that I've visited (I'm making an attempt to go to every country)

I got hung up around country 55, feeling that I hadn't found my "editing voice" and have had difficulty finding the motivation over the last year to edit and post my most recent 41 countries worth of content. I want to say that part of it is because I'm overwhelmed with how much there is to go through? I also get in my head and have to consistently reassure myself that I'm ultimately editing this for my future self/family to watch, and that I shouldn't necessarily be optimizing for viewership (though passive income through travel vlogs would be nice.)

There's a definitive, "what's up brand gang, immranderson here!" blueprint that could be followed, but I have no interest in ever doing something like that.
I wish hacker news was only about computing and not fringe science news, because unless it's an innovative product and it shows it's a breakthrough, it's probably techno-optimism or it's click-baity.

This applies for everything about batteries, and environmental techs.

The supraconductor crystal news was also quite a revealing event of the problem.
Instead parents insist on this "no drugs, no sex" policy. Of course both of those things can present major problems, which is why they should be discussed but not forbidden. Even sex ed today is maximizing fear and pushing waiting until marriage which is just as bad.

My impression is that there is far less of this now than there was thirty years ago or fifty years ago.
That’s a very generic question, hard to tell without extra details, but I find it useful against decoding hashes or at least giving clues oh how to decode it.

The biggest problem for bikes when it comes to grip, in my experience, is that there is no redundancy.

You brake hard, rear grip goes to zero, and you fishtail. Then you have to reduce braking force or you crash. This doesn’t happen in a car because unloading 2 independent tires is very hard.

You touch loose gravel going through a corner, front loses grip, you crash. Hitting the same gravel patch with 2+ car tires is unlikely.

“Hundreds of guys depended on Paulie, and he got a piece of everything they made. It was tribute, just like in the old country, except they were doing it here in America. Now all they got from Paulie was protection from other guys looking to rip them off. And that’s what it’s all about. That’s what the FBI could never understand. That what Paulie and the Organization does, is offer protection for people who can’t go to the cops. That’s it. That’s all it is, they’re like the police department for wiseguys.”

Yeah, it does a pretty good job at letterboxing. It doesn't make Tor perfect, even if you wipe your identity, if you have a less common predefined size and go back to the same URL, they can probably track you as the same user, especially if combined with things like canvas fingerprinting, but if you set Tor to the safest setting, which disables JavaScript, you are completely safe.
I'll take a swing at that first paragraph:

"Glamorous Toolkit (GT) is a mature notebook-style integrated development environment. Our goal is to make systems explainable by means of custom tools created for each problem. Glamorous Toolkit makes the creation of those tools inexpensive and seamless."

Please note I did not mention 'moldable development' because I can't figure out what it is supposed to mean. "Creating custom tools for each development problem" is usually just called "programming". Introducing a new product and trying to define a new concept should happen in separate paragraphs, at the very least.

If this stuff is so powerful, or going to be so powerful, is positioning like this wise? It kinda feels like it is aiming squarely at its own obsolescence. That is, if LLMs turn out to indeed be "the way forward," than surely the esoteric/specialized science of prompt engineering will fall away precisely in step with how much better next-gen LLMs are, right?

Or to put another way, what is the ultimate value of LLMs in general if they are not aiming to make the very idea of "prompt engineering" obsolete?
This is nice to read because I’ve been recommended rebase by so many people who clearly have no idea what it does and what to do if it goes wrong.

> If you can't get a conviction

Just so we are on the same page. Here we "can't get a conviction" because the person resides in a country which doesn't care about the crime he committed. Not because the evidence does not pass the required evidentiary level.

Where a mob is a single high profile individual with his reputation on the line, and this singular "mob" performed a through analysis and provides the full reasoning how he come to the conclusion. This "mob" rule does not look like the ones I usually hear about.
Yeah, actually. I want to be able to read, study, catch up on work, get wasted with friends, nap, and not worry about insurance, parking, or killing anyone. All for cheaper than gas, repairs, tires, etc.

Another thing is if you keep commits in a clean "state", it is easier to revert a commit, when you squash or keep them messy it can make it harder to revert.

Also sometimes you decide you want to backport some change to other releases, and if commits are in a good state, it is much easier to do this.
The problem is that it's impossible to get all of your peers to put down their phones at the same time and do the hard work of rebuilding normal social structures and low tech communications channels.

You (a teenager) can invite your peers to your house to hang out for some hours after school or on the weekend. In the past they would accept because they had nothing better to do, or if they did, that would be communicated and everyone would join. Today your peers are likely to just decline the invitation. There is plenty of entertainment at home: their phone. And if they came over to your house, they would mostly scroll on their phones anyway. It's a widespread, untreated, mostly-unrecognized addiction.

Imagine how difficult it would be to quit heroin if all of your friends and all of their friends had to quit heroin at the same time or else no one can. The government will step in eventually.
This all depends on the project. Sometimes you don’t look at history all that much. Sometimes the loss of information is acceptable.
It's amazing that the move of RISC-V Foundation to Switzerland (as RISC-V International) was actually called for.

Even more amazing is US lawmakers continuing to try & shoot the US in the foot.

RISC-V is now globally developed, that ship has sailed. Same for products based on it. The US can't prevent its 'proliferation'. Only reduce the degree to which US entities are part of, and profit from that.

Are US lawmakers that dumb? (ok I guess that's a rhetorical question).
You gotta start somewhere right? I mean its not like you got it right the first time. Don't everyone go switching over just yet, but people can't scrutinize something that doesn't exist.
I'm reminded of the "useful myths" concept in the book Sapiens. Being very patriotic, very confident in your religion and politics was useful for most of human history. Even if you're wrong, the confidence gives you purpose, and peace. Gen-Z seems more nuanced about all of these things. I think I blame the Internet. Speaking very very broadly, millennials grew up with this type of confidence, but abandoned it in adulthood, when they became educated and emotionally ready to do so. Gen-Z has not had the same time to prepare. As teens or young adults, they are having all this thrust on them, and getting hit with nihilism really early.
Just wanted to say that this is really interesting, and part of why I keep coming back to hn. Thanks for the new perspective.
EXACTLY THIS! OMG.
COW2LLVM: The IsKnownUniquelyReferenced Deep-Dive
The article is mostly centered around the short-term benefits but long-term harms of electronic devices and social media. This is a symptom, not the source of the problem.

The Gen Z adults I know are struggling to survive, and they're left wondering, "_These_ are supposed to be my golden years? Going to the food bank and ignoring my student loan bills?" And the older people they look up to are more often than not completely out of touch. They had time to grow savings when it was easier to do so. Everyone I know has a story about some family member who can't understand how they're struggling because they purchased a house with a part time job with no college degree.

But not all older people are like that. My parents never had time to save and buy a house, and today they find themselves hopelessly incapable of doing so. They would never make remarks you hear all the time about "people don't want to work these days." They have the exact same problem as the Gen Z adults except they have a quickly-approaching deadline where they can't work anymore.

I do think social media can be a problem. Besides this site, I am not active anywhere else. A lot of people in my generation already have deleted their accounts, or they _want_ to but can't because it's free and they feel somewhat dependent on it. But you'd be surprised how many fewer people would be feeling depressed if they didn't need to fight to put food on the table.

Disclaimer: Not technically Gen Z, but I don't think I'm far off. The author states they received their first iPhone at 10. I was already spending hours every day on the internet by that age, and bought my first smartphone at 14.
WeWork stock halted as rumors swirl about bankruptcy preparations
I disagree, having properly densely designed cities means you don’t need that car. I stayed in a slum in Paris for a week, I was able to walk to the grocer and take the bus to the train station to go into downtown Paris. Car ownership doesn’t work in Paris because it’s designed to be walkable which necessitates less parking lots. Parking lots and parking spaces are things you have to walk past/through and are a big reason car dependent cities in America don’t work.

There is probable cause involved in an arrest, though. I think that's an important distinction between doxing and becoming part of the criminal justice system. You can certainly argue that there are problems with the system, but it's not the same as just doxing someone on the internet—not in a legal sense, or in a practical sense.

Journalists naming people as part of their work is a third category, and probably the one this falls under. It's dangerous territory, and Krebs stands to lose a lot (i.e. credibility, lawsuits, possible reprisals) by making this allegation if it turns out he didn't do his job right.
> couldn't pay for tuition because my bank acc was locked, so the university dropped my classes

This sentence is simply BIZARRE.

As an example, I'll use the public university geographically closest to me. (University of Utah)

* It requires no payment until two weeks after classes begin. [1]

* It offers monthly payment plans. [2]

* It allows for late payments, with a late fee capped at $75. [2]

This is not the exception. Much like rent, utilities, etc, there is ample consideration for interruption of tuition payment.

Unless I am misremembering the history, the missiles on Cuba were nuclear missiles. These are purely offensive weapons that have very little defensive capabilities.

Based on that alone I'd say the situations are pretty different. I'd be strongly opposed to arming Taiwan with nuclear capabilities, and feel China would indeed be justified in that case. But that's academic talk because no such thing is happening.

As for the rest: sometimes geopolitics and morality aligns. This is one of those cases, IMHO.

Seriously, better reimplementations are great. But weren't you shocked to read about all those weird sudo features? I mean, the normal stuff is very weird, subtle, and therefore fragile.

Anyone who uses sudo "deeply" should probably think about whether there are other ways.
Thought about it. My neighbors are so close that I worry about using anything other than a water gun, which was pretty ineffective, though they seem to really, really hate water, for some reason.
As I understand the it:

OP picked upon a sophisticated example that's multithreaded; the example shows off some fancy Rust techniques which deals with this complex case.

It's 'fair' to say that OP's code snippet looks complex. But, it's not 'fair' to treat OP's snippet as if it's how one must write a simple blinky program.

And it's good to explain that the code is complex because it's dealing with a complex case.

I'd somewhat acknowledge the frustration, though. If you're trying to learn something and you take a wrong step or look in the wrong place, you don't have the intuition to figure out "here's what you want to be doing instead".
Fuel injection systems are pretty reliable by now.

What I think I see these days is squash merges being used lazily to avoid having to do anything to build a clean history with clearly semantically delineated commits. Squash merges are good compared to an alternative where people check in super messy noisy branches, but they unfortunately have a big downside because squash merges can make bisecting and history spelunking more difficult, when the branches that are squash merged were big.
Krebs is an incredibly good researcher, look at those intel referenced and deductions. Never fails to surprise
I've found that consistently using the --onto flag when rebasing helps prevent errors by ensuring the target hash of the rebase is always explicitly specified. Particularly in situations where you may have a feature branch based on another feature branch, and that other feature branch had commits squashed into main so history/commit hashes have changed between main and your feature branch.
it's main use is in censorship resistant proxies, where the network at large does not have a good quadrant.

Idle curiosity: what was the step between "he got to know the guys there" and "started on his path of programming"? How did he turn knowing some computer guys into becoming one?
To be fair, it does feel like a lot of the quotes in the article are also kind of looking at this through a joking "first-world problems" angle. But that doesn't mean it's any less comical to read an article where bosses now complain that their employees are too loyal.

Even written in a joking manner, it's kind of galling after being told for years that the problem with young workers is that they job hopped and nobody liked that to now see the WSJ ask, "why aren't you hopping jobs more?" It's just so transparent that no matter what the workers do, it's going to be treated as wrong. The WSJ doesn't actually want any specific behavior from workers, it wants something to complain about.
