Regardless of what you think, anytime you talk about games journalism, even a decade later, you risk falling into the horrible black hole. Successful poisoning of the well.

I just don't bother with reviews anymore. Stopped reading every gaming website except Gematsu (which rarely reviews) and I follow certain niches of you tubers to see if a game has the right pulse. If I wanna know how a Sonic Game is, why not peer into various sonic you tubers instead of trust which IGN reviewer won/lost the straw?
Matloff/fasteR: Fast Lane to Learning R (2019)
This business model will only serve them in the long run. Luckily for us, open source llms are getting traction and we won't depend on "open"AI to implement features on our apps.
I feel Canadians get particularly shafted: lower wage, higher cost of life on essentials, stupid high rent in first tier city (where the jobs are!).

On the wages only, I wonder what justifies that Canadians make so little in comparison to their American peers living just an hour away across the border. Taxes alone don't seem enough to justify that gap. My take is that Canadians just... accepted it.
Finding ways to do something useful despite health challenges. Learning to have the right attitudes and have peace & happiness, & stay pointed in the right direction, despite whatever. It's a good learning process, and my beliefs are making all the difference, motivating me to be patient, have hope, keep trying, use it to grow in quiet ways.
It's not just global environmental that's effected, at least in america *LOTS* of homes have really crappy ventilation, and even when they have proper ventilation way to many people don't actually use it (either cause they're noisy or the person's just forgetful), so you end up breathing it in in a lot higher concentration than people expect cause the tests around them being safe are all done with proper ventilation.
Not all are by members, I have seen 2-3 examples of posts which quickly make it to the front-page, and then vanish; the post is still on the "new" page and does not have a [flagged] or [dead] prefix. I can only assume that there is a "shadow flagging" mechanism which could only be applied by the moderators.
You're stuck with the lag of remote-desktop. Which isn't a disaster over decent ethernet if you are just programming.
Yeah, that’s why it’s so important to get out of the office by 6. They don’t want anyone to get hurt.

That'd actually be significant, because Apple used to be incredibly strict about this. For example, I had an App Store submission that showed a privacy policy in a WebView, but through a series of clicks on the header or footer of that page you could get to a pricing page and purchase a subscription. That was enough for a rejection.

If the proprietary version is what they prefer over free and open source software, and which they are not allowed to distribute and modify, and which are otherwise completely identical, it's no skin off my back.

If they don't want freedom for themselves, that's on them.
I'd be willing to move to SF but I would still want to be remote.
OpenAI in a weird way has mediocre marketing. The examples they use for Dalle-3 are way worse than the average ones I see people cooking up on Twitter/Reddit. They only seem to demo the most vaguely generic implementations of their app. Even their DevDay logo is just 4 lines of text.
China-U.S. AI Arms Race Heats Up as Chinese Startup Unveils Powerful New AI
Have you ever read "The Player of Games" by Iain M. Banks? We won't win by allowing the enemy to make us more like them.
Thanks! That answers my question.

For anyone who doesn't feel like clicking on a PDF, the section title is "Rarest First".
>It takes as a given the article's point that the proximate cause of the issue is phone / social media centrism (IMO this is also right), but then it asks why? Why is youth culture so centered on devices and social media?

Do places in the US and other countries with good public transit or are walkable like New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, etc somehow not have any of the problems the article is referring to? I kind of doubt it

There's plenty wrong with how car dependent we are in most of the US but it's both not new to the latest generation and not uniform across the entire country yet there IS something that is uniform across the entire country AND new for this generation. Spoiler alert: it's not suburban sprawl.
But won't such a mandate cause a lot of screaming and moaning from those who hate the government, with the standard "They want to control us!" screams?

The democratic governments are stuck, they're too afraid to take action because these might lose votes, something that happens more if their voters become unemployed/feel some economic hardship coming.
Thoughts on Zapier trying to become OpenAI faster than OpenAPI can become Zapier? There will always be a long tail of APIs that folks want integrating, but the most popular APIs are perhaps only a few hundred in number (Google Calendar and Slack, for example).
If your startup is just a thin wrapper for GPT, it's DOA regardless. Trivial moat is always a trivial moat.

You must use LLMs as a launching point to something else, some kind of 10x in a vertical.

Being able to "chat" is table stakes and worthless to you as a company by itself.
OpenAI's Consistency Decoder
Make your position clear on the issue. Openly and assertively state the position, especially if it knowingly conflicts with another person who the company is affiliated with. This way you have distanced yourself with the other person.

As far as blowback to your brand because you did not support the "right" side, it seems that we are ending up in a position where even a neutral side is taken up as being part of the other side.

All you can do is acknowledge the loss on "EACH" (read, not "both") side. And acknowledge the turmoil on each side. And acknowledge the human struggle (not war struggle) on each side. And acknowledge the polarization of 'both' sides.

And then stress to look forward to the end of the conflict.

Plus, also tell your board members after you have made this post clear, that posting messages opposite to the position of the company via profiles that lead back to the company will be taken as to be in conflict with the values of the company.
What sort of data do you think will be the most valuable to input to AI?
It's so refreshing to encounter a manufacturer that gives a hoot about users. And then I feel sadness for realizing that this situation should be normal and routine, and it is so much not that it deserves an HN frontpage when somebody finally does the right thing.
I rather strongly disagree here.

Having whitespaces mucks up commit, causing you to lose focus of what's actually important.

I have `git blame` aliased to `git blame -w` which ignores whitespace-only changes.

You can also reblame when you come across this formatting commits.
Data channel: no is a charging-only cable, *preferred* for dealing with untrusted sources of power. While it might violate spec it has a very valid use case.
To make your problem worse, employers often use the threat of unemployment (which comes with the implied threat of homelessness/untreated illness/etc in this country) as a cudgel to get more out of workers than they are paying for them. I hope you get into a situation that gives you peace of mind soon, because they are for sure out there.
hmm I'll try that. I realize now I may need 0-255, which I think is the native measurement in the API. I really do want a very small number over 0; on this Samsung tablet that's what looks right.
Is this just the role and content type data being set as you might with their dev tools?
The local "for sale" groups on Facebook have a huge problem with this kind of spam - posts advertising "Work from home for Amazon, $2k a week!" with a link that goes to to google pages link that does seven redirects. The next week the same account posts "Work from home for Fedex, $2k a week!"

I report them every time, and report the account that posts them, but Facebook seems unwilling to remove the scammers.
Smart home automation shouldn't be stupid
Don't worry, it will be paused for your convenience and resumed when you come back.
But it doesn't warn "charging slowly because the cable you're using doesn't support fast charging" vs "charging slowly because the charger you're using doesn't support fast charging". It tells you there's a problem, but not what the cause is even when it can determine the cause.
This seems like a business opportunity. It should be straightforward (not _easy_, but straightforward) to manufacture high quality, reasonably priced cables and sell them direct. Establish a rep for consistent quality & fast shipping and carve out the 'customers who give a shit' market.

Once you've got a good rep, scale up.
My approach to investing is $VOO and chill
But to be fair, "there is no solution" is, itself, a solution. Even in Tetris, which has no natural win condition, you're playing towards a specific, well-defined goal (points, generally).

The OP's point still stands in that there's no ambiguity in a game, whereas the real world is full of it.
The difference is that the USB-IF logos to indicate bandwidth/charging capacity on packaging and plugs require certification, while numbers written arbitrarily on the plug don't require testing and don't have to be true.
A few interesting things to mention about the Minoans. Their artwork largely depicts leisure activities. Compare this to the Mycenaeans whose artwork mostly depicted war. It's hard to say for certain without being able to read their writing, but there's a high chance that Minoan woman were equal members of their society. The Minoans also are noteworthy for not having any major defensive structures unlike the Mycenaeans, although around the time of their collapse there is evidence of burn marks from war. They were a very mercantile people trading all around the Mediterranean, but with especially close ties to Egypt. Specifically they imported advanced goods from there. Again, a huge stumbling block is that we can't read their writing, but by all accounts the Minoans seem to have been super wealthy, educated, and civilized people. The Mycenaeans who took over most likely adopted some of their customs, along with their vast trade networks. Probably not unlike how the Romans reacted to the Greeks when they conquered them.

Also, one other interesting tidbit to me, is that Zeus is from Crete. I think it's interesting because Zeus is strong and intelligent, like the Titan Cronos, but more importantly is he is the God that brought justice. Maybe in ancient history there was a time period that was marked by constant war and rule of the strong over the weak, until a Minoan King named Zeus ended the cycle? Who knows, but the list of things that point to Minoan pedigree is really interesting. It's a shame we don't know more about them. I think even if Atlantis per se wasn't mentioned much in surviving writing, that nonetheless the Minoans must have left a huge impact on proto-greeks and that carried onward to archaic and classical Greece.
Git blame confuses people even without squash merges.

I've seen people forget to go back more than one commit and then blame the person who last indented a file instead of going back to the commit that actually wrote the code many times.
You'd probably like 'red hot nickel ball' on a channel called 'cars and water'. Short, 2-5 minute videos sans dialog where this person just heats a nickel ball until its red hot and puts it on top of something. He just answers a question you didnt know you had and then the video ends. It is genius.
Show HN: Inshellisense – IDE style shell autocomplete

> Is this basically them deploying fine tuned models?

From the description of the past outside practice it is marketed as moving into OpenAI's offering, it sounds more like its custom prompts, not fine-tuned models.

To be honest, I've rarely lost any functionality because of a new feature release of any software. I can't even think of a security update that caused any problems in the last few years.

The article mentions iOS and macOS updates and I can relate to that somewhat, though. OS X 10.7 at the time was horrible. It had known memory leaks that never got fixed and you _had_ to update to 10.8 to fix it. There was also a version that introduced a new DNS forwarder which was so broken that Apple rolled it back in a point update.

It still seems weird to me to reject any software updates based on broken functionality.

Oh, I actually do stay away from updates on one device. My HP printer would reject my third party toner if I would update it and that's why I keep it disconnected from the internet.
On the Concerns of Developers When Using GitHub Copilot
The team was folded in to the VR/AR org (I presume to develop an applications API that the universe of app developers would be familiar with), but it floundered and went nowhere.

I heard this from someone who was on the team, I was not allowed to actually join or work with them, because I had worked for Apple previously and they were afraid of the Andy Rubin issue, where iOS's actual source code existed in my brain, so theoretically Apple could sue Facebook.
Nvidia L40S is a Nvidia H100 AI alternative
I prefer fully async for the simple reason that programming is all text.

A programmer is first and foremost a textsmith. They create increasingly complex textual creations, and develop a deeply refined, idiosyncratic toolkit over the years for doing so. No reason to strip them of their best toolset if you don't have to.
> * press the "annotate" button in my IDE and can see which commit introduced each line

In PyCharm, I can see which commit introduced each line, regardless of branching. Same with drilling down through a files history. Is this an IDE limitation you're seeing?

> every step of the way, I get a meaningful description of why

Isn't this more about commit messages, than anything else?
Yes, we need to move to dst in the north but other places would prefer it too. If the rest of the continental us didn't move together, I don't think it would happen. standard time (not daylight savings time) is what we want to get out of.

The problem for northern states is the sun goes down too early. Right now, Minneapolis sun up at 7am, down at 4:54. Seattle 7, down 4:44, chicago 6:28 to 4:38.

https://www.timeanddate.com/sun/usa/minneapolis is one way to visualize (there's a graph at the bottom showing the dst/st change). A few days ago in the northern latitudes it was sun up at 7:50p, down at 6pm. Now it's an hour earlier. It's much nicer to push sundown an hour later.
The poster pointed out in a comment that this was listed as “Sold By” a random 3rd party seller called “Ramwest”. Amazon’s interface doesn’t make it easy to see this, but if you’re worried about the products you’re buying, always check for this info in the “buy box”.

As a consumer I'd much rather have a cable rated for one level and end up actually supporting more than not having any information at all.
Did he say the exact words "I advocate a genocide of Palestinians"?

If he did, post a quote. If he didn't, you shouldn't be treating him as if he did.

And my bet is heavily on the "he didn't" side.
I think all technological revolutions have caused similar transformations which obsolete certain types of activities and push novel activities to the forefront.

Not playing is certainly possible but could be a losing strategy as well.
The obvious needle thread here is to not "make" engineers do anything, but hold them accountable to the results the business needs to see. The best teams are composed of empowered, accountable engineers who have the flexibility to do what they're paid to do.
Yes. That's why you shouldn't contribute to software on permissive licenses.

> What difference does it make to the community if Element gets paid for this?

Without that, Element would have to either pay people their fair share, or _leave_. They're not a charity, they're not doing this "for us," they're just extracting free labor.
No, pages are not loaded in cache. Cache lines are. RAM pages are typically 4kb, and cache lines are most commonly 64 bytes. This means you have 64 cache lines per RAM page. And this entire detour has no relevance to what I said in the first place, which still stands. But you know, someone was wrong on the Internet.
"Paradox of Tolerance" is a question, not an answer. You can't use it as a cudgel to "win" any discussion.

At least you're being honest.
Others have commented to maybe help with my bad writing, but: I am basically trying to say that the promise of LLM models are in the long term at odds with the idea of "prompt engineering" even being a thing in, like, two years. Every improvement to existing models can only really make such a thing more and more obsolete.

Otherwise, what are we even doing here? Expensive regex?
I‘ve certainly done it, both on the street as well as in training settings.
Plugins failing was more due to lack of visibility, which a GPT Store does solve.
Yes, that's the point: computing what needs to change using observers quickly becomes hard. React allows you to run all updates against an unchanged view; observers can interact with each other's updates.

While React proper may be too large, I find the approach indispensable for more complex interfaces. One can pick Preact instead.

But it's indeed overkill for adding small bits of interactivity to large, mostly static documents.

Shadow-banned domains will show up as [dead] to everyone except the submitter. One hint to the submitter is that there will not be a discuss link.

Submissions can be quickly de-ranked by flags and may fall off the front page before they are finally [flagged]. Flags count as heavy down-votes for a submission. Beyond that one would have to email Daniel dang to get more specific details. hn@ycombinator.com
Yeah. A lot of IT people would pay for a box that you plug a USB cable into and it tells you what the cable can and can't do. Simply reading out the specs, not actually testing whether it can perform to spec. (Although a simple test of the latter should be possible. Baby computer, it sends data at all supposedly supported speeds and sees if it gets the results. That would catch the ones that couldn't but could miss a flaky one.)
Again, the things I read are not personal, grudges or inability to accept someone's personal choices. For starters, you write his name more than anyone else here. You're not doing him any favor specially when it comes to Streisand Effect.

When I propose a tool to my CTO I couldn't care less about the project's leadership personal choices.

Mature engineers think in terms of ROI, dependability, bus factor, predictability, funding, mind-share, hiring ease, license, etc.

But it would be naive and unprofessional of me to handwave technical issues with the tools. And ALL tools have hard edges and undesirable characteristics.

And putting a header in a HTTP server is not proportional as restricting who can change the source code of a compiler.

Matt Holt is awesome btw. And so is Elm author.
personally I think what's missing from your definition is that most games have an intentional lack of stakes/costs that are associated with the original process they were mean to abstractly simulate. (and the focus on entertainment, at the expense of accuracy)

- when a lion play with its cub the danger of heavy injury and death is minimized.

- when you play chess there's no danger of you being beheaded due to a failed military strategy.

- when you lose at monopoly due to failure to grasp the nature of the game or your social skills you don't end up old and destitute as a result.

etc...
For the initiated, this is SICP[1] Exercise 1.19. That exercise walks you through a proof without explicitly using linear algebra. I remember having a blast solving this back in the day.

OpenAI offering 128k context is very appealing, however.

I tried some Mistral variants with larger context windows, and had very poor results… the model would often offer either an empty completion or a nonsensical completion, even though the content fit comfortably within the context window, and I was placing a direct question either at the beginning or end, and either with or without an explanation of the task and the content. Large contexts just felt broken. There are so many ways that we are more than “two weeks” from the open source solutions matching what OpenAI offers.

And that’s to say nothing of how far behind these smaller models are in terms of accuracy or instruction following.

For now, 6-12 months behind also isn’t good enough. In the uncertain case that this stays true, then a year from now the open models could be perfectly adequate for many use cases… but it’s very hard to predict the progression of these technologies.
I like to think about it from the perspective of the far future, looking back on me as a historical actor. I have no idea what will happen exactly, of course, but I can't imagine a moral/social crisis of the past where "cross your fingers and hope it goes away" is a move I'd approve of...

That said, your worry is one I definitely share. I guess I just hope more people think of ways they can try to ride/shape this wave, rather than stop/weather it.
The toolchain complexity problem was already present with Vue 2 (and anyway it was usable as a dependency pulled into a classic web page). It definitely could be better, and it seems to be on the way of being improved.

I feel like a lot of criticism toward Vue 3 is based on feelings and vibes. What exactly are your complaints toward v3?
Yeah, It's still not game engine ready (maybe wasm can convince me), but JS isn't that bad as far as interpreted languages go. If you can maticulously control package dependency you can get fine enough performance. It's only rendering a flat page at the end of the day, after all.

But that's not how web package management works.
A Primer on Pontryagin's Principle in Optimal Control: Second Edition by I.M. Ross.

https://www.amazon.com/Primer-Pontryagins-Principle-Optimal-...

Explains optimal control theory and the pontryagin minimum principle from a geometrical perspective rather than the confusing derivation from calculus of variations that is more typical. Also explains it at an "Engineering" or applied math level rather than at a mathematical foundations level so the results are more usable.

[ I'd describe this book as the "Div, Grad Curl and All That" of Optimal Control Theory if that makes sense to you ]
