When you know that history, IBM asking for an exemption to the JSLint license becomes less funny.

Watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hCimLnIsDA (2 minutes) to hear the story from the developer's point of view. Then consider how many totalitarian states today are using IBM computers to track their population.

The developer might not realize it, but IBM lawyers absolutely know that they can be fairly accused of using JSLint for evil.
On other hand take something like Cisco, which if you invested in 2000 would look like really really bad bed... It might be that today's Nvidia is Cisco from back then...
To be fair, the app store is already infested with apps and ad networks that push deceptive alerts that attempt to mislead users into installing unwanted/unneeded apps.
Because now instead of having a line changed within a granular level of changes, it's lost with the other changes from the same feature branch, which is a more macro level. So if a change in config is needed for the feature, the part when this config change actually need to be handled, or would impact the data-flow is harder to evaluate now that you mix it with template changes, style changes, new interactions needed for the users, etc...

EDIT: On top of that, there's usually a bit of 'related' work you need for a task, by example when you find an edge case related to your feature, and now you also needed to fix a bug, or you did a bit of refactoring on a related service, or needed to change the data on a badly formatted JSON file.

Unbeknownst to you, you added a bug when refactoring the related service, a bug that is spotted a few months after, only on a very specific edge case. If the cause is not obvious, you might want to reach for git bisect, but that won't be very useful now that everything I've talked about is squashed into a single commit.
One fanciful chain of hypothetical events is the Younger Dryas Impact leading to both higher sea levels and the subsidence of the Azores. That series of events is, a comet impacted the North American glacial ice sheet and melted immense amounts of ice. Simultaneously this removed immense amounts of weight from the continent. The removal of weight causes the land to rise where the weight was removed. This rise must be compensated by some other part of the globe. This would be areas that were being pushed out by the weight on North America. There is a rift below the Azores, a weak spot in the crust, that would be squeezed out. As the weight is near instantly removed from North America the rift areas sink rapidly to compensate.

A maritime civilization on the level of the Phoenicians, on an island the size of Turkey, in the middle of the Atlantic would be in an ideal position for trans-Atlantic trade that is even easier than trans-Atlantic trade in our age of sail. If such a civilization existed it would be fantastically wealthy facilitating trade between the Amazon and the Nile. This civilization built in an ideal position during the 2.5 million year Pleistocene would have a very long time to develop a high level of technology.

Like I said, it is fanciful. But, the physics of it are known. Cosmic impacts have reshaped the planet multiple times. Something changed the planet drastically in a very short amount of time that ended the Pleistocene. I like to entertain the idea that a previous global civilization existed that had conquered the long running ice age environment. A cosmic impact rapidly changed the environment and the civilization couldn't survive the upheaval. It doesn't matter one bit to me if it is true other than to remind me, like every other ancient civilization, that nothing, no matter how great, is forever.
I always find it funny to see Apple pushing for tech education when it's well known that Apple despises developers. Please teach your kids computer science so we can treat them like shit and/or exploit them!

They used to (or still do?) have coding courses for kids at Apple stores, they have free learn to code resources (https://developer.apple.com/learn/), probably some more programs I'm not familiar with.
One imagines it's easier to relax when your performance at school won't have much of a material impact on your situation.
No don't be sorry, I'm mainly curious if they still had the same feeling. I don't know the last time I had to brake hard enough to need ABS in the car, if they still had that feeling, or even if my car has brake-by-wire.
If you were already well-known researcher in the field with good publications, then it’s possible to get significant funding to continue that research in an applied manner.

But if you don’t have a track record of excellent research productivity, then it’s tough to get funding to do research because it’s highly competitive and it’s winner take all payouts.
With clients constantly appearing and disappearing, the probability that you will be able to finish the download will be much higher if everyone has a random collection of file parts. Imagine the original seeder goes away after one day. Everyone is stuck at 99% because they downloaded in sequential order. Nobody has the last missing part. This would be much less likely if the clients had downloaded random parts instead, because every part would be roughly equally likely to be available in the end.
One common student project we had used the FPGA to generate a (VGA*) video signal. For example using the onboard ADC to sample a signal and visualise the waveforms. A more advanced idea was to also implement a line-drawing algorithm on the FPGA to generate wireframe graphics. While this can also be done on a microcontroller and some even include video outputs and GPUs, I think it is a nice way to see on a low level how to generate the signals with the correct timing.
I used this for example to add a video output to a Gameboy.

Another a bit more exotic and involved application is a Time to Digital Converter, which can take advantage of the low-level routing inside the FPGA to sample a digital signal with significantly higher precision than the clock (resolutions of 10s of picoseconds down to below 10ps depending on the FPGA).

For work, we mostly use FPGAs for data acquisition systems, low level data processing, high speed data links and so on.
Can you give a specific example of what your investor has stated that constitutes "openly advocating a genocide of Palestinians"?
People that saw PARC back in the day: do you think OpenAI eventually suffers the same fate? As in, will all of these improvements end up 'stolen' by another company?

Why it could happen: natural language is a UI. A UI is only as good as what it can connect to. Browsers are OpenAI's current limit.

Why it could not happen: experts and foundation models are actually very hard to get working like presented. This is a moat.

Thoughts?
You mean USB 3.2 Gen 2x1 aka USB 3.1 Gen 1 aka USB 3.0 aka Super Speed USB?

Or do you mean Thunderbolt 3 which supports USB 3.2 Gen 2×1 aka USB 3.1 Gen 2 which was called SuperSpeed+ USB but is now SuperSpeed USB 10Gbps?

Or the newest USB4 Gen 4, USB4 Gen 3×2, USB4 Gen 3×1, USB4 Gen 2×2 and USB4 Gen 2×1 which supports Thunderbolt 3?

Maybe they could start with the upcoming Thunderbolt 5 which follows the USB4 2.0 spec, not to be confused with USB4 Gen 2(x1/x2).

I'm not sure we have enough colors to enumerate the different type of USBs. Going by the naming schemes it seems like there's already not enough numbers. /s
If you haven't played the various Bethesda games (Oblivion, Skyrim, Fallout), now is a great time. There is a modding tool called Wabbajack that auto-installs curated lists of hundreds of mods, all patched to work together, and you can get an incredible setup with very little work.
yeah I've seen that, would be awesome to have access to it but not worth the cost to me, was less interested in stress testing does this 100% meet spec and more interested in "this labels itself as HDMI v{X} with optional features {y}, {z}".

I mostly care as my current monitor requires HDMI 2.1/Display Port 1.4 and going through my random cables drawer was extremely tedious. As I had way to many cables.
If you're projecting a crash, I assume there's more to it than "bonds up stocks down". Is there?
Another complicating factor is "unlimited vacation". I have it at my new gig and I think I probably have _less_ recourse than a person with an explicit "4 weeks of PTO" in their employment contract.

That being said, the company is really chill and every seems to be taking a good amount of vacation (and I told my manager I am targeting 5 weeks off per year and he said that is reasonable).
No video is being transcoded in the parent's command (-vn).
Cannabis users considered as a group is obviously going to include smokers, so without broken down analysis who can say if other use is harmful, neutral or protective?

Ooh, Whisper V3! I wonder how it will compare to Distil-Whisper just released by Hugging Face. I imagine it's better, although I noticed that ChatGPT's voice mode still has the classic Whisper hallucinations ("Thank you for watching!"), I wonder if it's been using Whisper v3 already.
If a company makes you sign a binding arbitration clause and then refuses to participate in binding arbitration, then you can probably sue them for breach of contract.
All of this gets much easier if you notice that the smaller eigenvalue is less than one. So its contribution becomes exponentially smaller at higher F_i. Hence, you can just take the corresponding power of phi, multiply by some constant I forgot, and round to the nearest integer. No need for an exact formula.
The new assistants API looks both super-cool and (unfortunately) a recipe for all kinds of new applications that are vulnerable to prompt injection.
Has he done any in the last five years? There have been important spec updates, and available brands and models change over time.
They both have infinite growth and don't die when they need to.
Direct syscall access is not something that is guaranteed in Unix derivatives. Linux is rare in that it provides a stable syscall API. Source compatibility is often only guaranteed when linked against libc or an equivalent low-level runtime library.
While I strongly agree with the blog post and letter, I believe the letter would be more effective if it spent more time explaining how the proposed restrictions will most likely backfire, i.e., put the US in a less advantageous position to defend its dominance in CPU technology with regard to China.

No politician or regulator would like to be labelled as someone who favored a foreign competitor country.
It's amazing how quickly this company went from a "hacker startup" to "maximally corporate" within less than a year(!).

Just one year ago, it released a transcendental experimental product early and with no grand plan for monetization (chatGPT). Now, we have a polished keynote, with an "app store," a "developer platform," complete with your cheesy music and smiling company reps. How nice of them for sharing their revenue with us when we publish on their app store!

It's amazing and sad how quickly the hacker joy has been sucked out of this company.
Absolutly. Was already thinking about trying to get closer to the action but i'm only doing platform engineering based on k8s and live in germany.

there are plenty of people able to do what im able to do. They will not just move me over to SF just to have some MLOps/Platform expert.

The crypto stuff Sam A. is doing is garbage but he is rich enough, it has less of a 'get rich scheme' i believe. That would be otherwise a no go
On the Importance of Roots
In the past decade, the writer Simone Weil has grown in popularity and continues to provoke conversation some 80 years after her death. She was a writer mainly preoccupied with what she called “the needs of the soul.” One of these needs, almost prophetic in its relevance today, is the capacity for attention toward the world which she likened to prayer. Another is the need to be rooted in a community and place, discussed at length in her last book On the Need for Roots written in 1943.
Well April 2023 is a key date here - that's presumably when they started final training a lot of these models.

We're probably able to conclude what we're seeing in public is about about 6 months behind what's happening in development. We know that in the past OpenAI relied on a lot more lag.

Point is innovation is certainly accelerating but also OpenAI's time-to-market is shrinking (/shrunk - it probably can't get much shorter).
if you weren't on a different continent separated by a very large body of water, I'd be there. I'll donate by suggesting the use of a lav mic vs a podium mic.

It is very difficult for some people to be able to understand clearly voices that are muddled from off axis audio recording. It's a real condition. I have hard time hearing voices in a crowded room from people across the table from me. We spend time worrying about the aria tags in our mark up, but we just assume that everyone has the same hearing abilities? I get that most people probably don't think about this when they don't have a hearing condition, but to be dismissive about it is an entirely different level of egregiousness.

Could my initial criticism have been provided with an entirely different tact, absolutely. But after the mental exhaustion that video was, that was all the energy I could afford at the time.
> An estimated 1 in 4 end up incarcerated.

Shocking.
To add onto what others said, insurance companies love loyalty. Loyal customers get charged more. I've found that shopping around about every 3 years is a good idea without too much trouble.
Maybe under the hood, but it's an option on github if you use that, or you can run `git merge --squash` as well.
Wait wouldn’t a drone hitting a person or a ceiling fixture and then crashing into a person be really dangerous?

Like they’re fixing workplace culture by careening rotary aircraft around the room?
And neither is C/C++, in which you have to follow all the borrowing rules except the compiler maybe sometimes warns you about something instead of always erroring out.

Python, go or (a bit less so) typescript are nice beginner languages.
I think the donations part of it isn’t even that important.

If you think about how legislation does (and can) work, lawmakers, even if they were the most gifted people on the planet, obviously are not experts on everything. As a result they have to rely on others.

But who should those others be? When it comes to something like chip manufacturing, you’re down to essentially 1 major U.S. company in this area that can provide guidance.

One could argue they could go to academics, but a single academic is good for going deep into a specific area and not so good at cross concerns.

And bringing together all those people is effort.

On the other hand you have Intel that’s got scores of researchers, marketing experts, and lobbyists who are basically giving you high quality data and information for free.

Even without money and therefore outright corruption playing any role, companies like these have an outsized influence on lawmakers for absolutely practical reasons.

It sounds crazy but fortunately fair queuing is becoming more and more prevalent, making sure everyone plays nice. Every iPhone has it: https://blog.cerowrt.org/post/state_of_fq_codel/
That's my assumption as well
I scrolled through her twitter a bit and can't see a single instance
of her posting a picture with a "fellow gen z-er", just her with
middle-aged conservative pundits. I know multiple non-monogamous
people and not a single one has ever said monogamy is outdated or ever
tried to coerce someone away from monogamy. Nothing about her story
sounds honest to me.

The conclusion of the article is "phones bad, take them away and
everything good" which is the same talking point politicians from the
era of leaded fuel want you to believe. She appears to solely blame
phones for zoomer depression and completely ignores everything
else. It's gross. I don't know why any reasonable person would ignore
everything else other than them wanting to push an agenda or they're
completely oblivious to the situation.

It's probably both, she's a wealthy individual (sites state her net
worth is $1.5 million, how many zoomers do you know that have such a
net worth or can ever achieve such a net worth?) and constantly tweets
conservative culture war stuff on Twitter.

Another thing I'm reminded of is the articles that sometimes make the
rounds with headlines like "This teen just purchased their own house!"
and other "rags to riches stories" and every single time it turns out
their parents are extremely wealthy and inherited the wealth from
their own parents. It's grossly dishonest.
I find it uneasy that someone has managed to loan that much money. And then can keep paying it back and loaning it again. When numbers really start to look quite extreme...
What would the ideal structure look like in your opinion?

Please note: Reports posted here will not necessarily be seen by Apple. All problems should be submitted at bugreport.apple.com before they are posted here. Please only post information for Radars that you have filed yourself, and please do not include Apple confidential information in your posts. Thank you!

Those look like a public mirror of some Radars filed at Apple, i.e. Apple already has that information. If enough developers stop submitting feedback (topic of this HN thread) and start posting bugs into a public repo FIRST, with a CC-BY-4.0 license allowing Apple to mirror the public bugs, then a boycott would have the positive side effect of showing-by-example how the feedback process could be improved.

> nothing would happen

As a counterpoint, there is a public Bugzilla for Webkit bugs, where the keyword "InRadar" indicates whether the bug has been mirrored to Apple's internal bug reporting system. If enough developers boycott Apple Feedback, could they use a Bugzilla instance for iOS and macOS bug reporting? If enough Apple users start referencing Bugzilla URLs for iOS/macOS production issues and purchasing decisions, could that influence Apple?

> I found it quite nice but I'll also not forget the hours I wasted tracking down nil table corruptions which could have easily been caught by a type checker.

> I had some hope that Luau https://luau-lang.org or Teal https://github.com/teal-language/tl would make things better

Inline type annotations are not a prerequisite for typechecking; there's nothing stopping you from writing straight Lua (or whatever) and then having a separate tool that does typechecking _without_ having to change the language. People are failing to take away the most important lessons from TypeScript.

The same goes, frankly, for languages that ostensibly have typechecking but have such deficient type systems that it's not exactly that much better than not having one. (Like C, for example.) Considering that type annotations are more valued for being a form of documentation than they are valued for making it easier to write the compiler's code generator...

If you have a function like printf that is ostensibly typechecked but not really, and you already have documentation (like man pages) for that function that says that the arguments need to be such-and-such, but the typechecker for your compiler/IDE isn't able to factor that in at or before build time, then that's a compiler/IDE problem, not anything that necessitates a change to the original grammar.
So (sorry for picking on this scab) there became 4 branches each of which for the team concerned was the next beautiful branch and then say each week a team woukd merge into master and everyone woukd rebase but fuck that up once and now the beautiful branch team B is working on is out of step with the real master ... oh god.

Yeah that would leave a mark.
The Cool Continuum is a perspective shift, a new lens by which to study art and the artists that make it. Its strength lies in its subjectivity, which means you are invited to contribute your perspective to shape our collective understanding of what it takes to make art.

in other words: i'm spinning the subjectivity and arbitrariness of this crap as a strength not a weakness. this whole article co-written by chatgpt. thanks but no thanks
There is a CL that tried to improve strings.Compare: https://go-review.googlesource.com/c/go/+/532195

As of now, the compiler has to generate the machine code for comparing strings twice by inserting two stringcmp calls. Compared to all the other SSA optimizations the compiler does already, this optimization seems cheap (however, maybe not straight forward to implement). Also, it improves a very common operation. Strings are compared all the time.
This is easily explained but not in a positive way. X Subscribers get up-ranked in replies and For You. 99% of anyone who would subscribe to X are Elon Fans. As a result, you get the fanboys.

Well, I guess "The Wall" is about a few things; overbearing mothers,
boarding school abuse, war trauma, fascism, loneliness and isolation,
the purpose of art.

I think we can only pin _some_ of that on rotten teachers. :)

That was already present in 286 and even higher clocked 8088 and 8086 machines.
I mean. It’s not like young people are the exclusive demographic of doomscrollers.

When I take my kids to the park or their sports, grandma and grandpa are usually the ones scrolling Facebook.

There’s no shortage of “grandma, I can see you not watching! Watch!”

Doom scrolling is impacting everyone. Quitting Facebook and Reddit is the best thing I did for my sanity. That shit was all bigotry and racism at this point anyway.
Debian is an end-user distribution, not a development tool. It bundles stable versions of software, which it releases at (somewhat) timed intervals. The Debian model of software development means that software developers target testing/sid for their new versions (and work to make sure the dependencies they need are in sid!) so that their software is automatically ready for inclusion when a new release is made.

There's two problems with that: many tools no longer have multiple development lines, which means that Debian can't keep its stable releases secure without manual backporting effort, and upstream developers don't care about getting their software in Debian. This means that Debian unstable already lags behind, as you notice, but also that the freeze-before-release takes longer than necessary. But in my view, those are mainly ecosystem problems, not just Debian problems.
