It's got myriad other issues, but Mathematica is a lot like this. You can have "rich" literals like a sound file or and image or a 3d model and see and manipulate along with the source, which has a couple of different levels of syntactic sugar, from being an ugly text-only lisp up to stuff that looks like it comes from a well-illustrated text book.

What's missing from my life is a good FOSS equivalent. There are several wonderful tools which do similar things, e.g. Jupyter, org-babel, TeXmacs, Sage, mathics. None of them feel quite right though.
This is like saying police aren't needed because people should just move away from dangerous neighbourhoods.
Cool, but is it news? MCUs have been capable of running simple webpages for at least 20 years. What's unusual is exposing it to public internet, where it can be quickly hugged to death.
That doesn't really prove anything; I could invent a language where my word for Wednesday meant "first day". But that doesn't make it so. The language merely would follow my convention, not describe something inherently true about the numbering.

(FWIW, I agree that Monday is the second day, but mainly just because that's what I was raised to believe. Plus if Sunday is the end of the week, that means Saturday isn't a weekend anymore, which is nonsense.)
The taxes don't sound right and only touches the state income tax, not the municipal tax which is the big part for most people.

An AI-narrated fantasy audiobook that surprised me
With all the AI hype these days, it was only a matter of time for me to find a Sheanan McGuire's Rosemary and Rue audiobook sample that was narrated by AI as opposed to a human narrator.

I was rather skeptical about this and at first, I just waved it away as an unimportant and stupid attempt which cannot work.

But it kept following me, so I did give it a try. And I must say that the results really surprised me!

The narration was actually very good, with only a few sentences that had the wrong emotion and the such. The book sample even had some nice audio effects and music!

Maybe AI narration may really improve some of the versions of already-narrated books in the future, such as Rosemary and Rue available through Audible at the moment (https://www.amazon.com/Rosemary-and-Rue-Seanan-McGuire-audio...).

For anyone who would like to hear what I heard, here is the sample I came across: https://jumpshare.com/s/ZRibsqJ22sdhYsOCnhOD

What do you guys think about this?
Well I guess there is kommuneskat, which differs between kommuner. So you can pay anything between 37 to 39 depending on where you live.
But the 15% base tax doesn't make sense to me either.
Thanks! Will try something along the lines.

When I am in flow state however something more drastic might be needed : )
FWIW I put a few hours into building a starting city, and no real issues with performance now in that a game like this clearly doesn't depend on smooth frames quite like a flight simulator does. I think there was at least one major patch since when I first tried it, which might have helped. There's lots of detail and modelling, this could be a bit of a dangerous time sink. :-)

I could certainly see why my old system (5800x3d / 3070 / 64) doesn't play it quite as nicely for my son's bigger 3440x1440x60hz monitor though; it certainly made the 4090 busy.
The worst?

No, that belongs to VB:

> On Error Resume Next

Literally, "Ignore the error, and continue as if nothing bad had happened".

That's the worst design decision ever when it comes to error handling.

Only storing the first error is bad, but that's why they describe it as a problem with WebGL that they solve in WebGPU by using a stack.
Alternatively the facts were not defensible so they came up with an excuse that was.
Easy, just make a CPU where "eval" is an instruction
Where I used to live there was a pear tree in a dog park, and a huge rabbit problem in the whole city. So every autumn your dog might end up chasing a rabbit around the dog park in the middle of the night.

I bought it based on this comment, on sale now at Steam! It looks great, thanks.
Ah, that's interesting. Perhaps if I get around to upgrading some other parts, I'll take a look at that too. Thanks!
Is there a reason why they used Mercurial as opposed to git? Did it provide some benefit?
The TL;DR:

Analysis showed that most frame time was lost due to lack of LOD levels and culling - causing the engine to render insanely high amounts of polygons that weren't even visible on screen.

In conclusion it seems that using the brand new engine feature DOTS (which is a perfect match for this game), successfully solved the CPU bottlenecks the first game had.

But because of Unity's DOTS <-> HDPR integration still being WIP (with several key features being experimental/missing) - they had to implement a lot of stuff on their own (including, but not limited to culling), which cost development time and caused the game to be not quite ready at release (explains missing LODs/optimization).
No, there's no make anywhere in the article (ninja is a substitute for make with simpler syntax designed to be generated), and it's giving you an example of how you can get rid of CMake and Meson.
Nobody is actually raising money on "make AI and worry about customers later." Every company that raises significant funds has either a monetization or exit strategy. You're not going to get a callback without it.

Maybe there's a niche market that they're targeting and they're just not being public about it until they're ready to enter that market, so as to not tip off the competition.

Or maybe they know that AI is important to many companies with deep pockets, and they convince investors that they have a better strategy than that being pursued by Google, Facebook, OpenAI, etc. In which case the plan is not to get customers, but to pull an OpenAI and leapfrog the state of the art, thereby becoming a prime acquisition target.

Yeah if you think investors are just throwing hundreds of millions of dollars at companies with zero growth or exit strategy, then you are naîve.
You can't. Every US Dollar touch point is heavily regulated. Back in the day Local Bitcoins was the way to convert crypto to cash but now its highly regulated and they implemented enhanced anti money laundering controls.
Ahhh yeah. That I agree with. Mens Shed's themselves aren't insulting, it's just the extremely unbalanced treatment of the sexes which has led to their need.
The concept of using 3D-GPT for rigging outsourcing is quite revolutionary https://retrostylegames.com/blog/3d-model-rigging-for-games/

By leveraging LLMs to break down complex 3D modeling tasks, this framework could significantly streamline the creation process for intricate assets in the metaverse. It's impressive how it integrates with Blender to offer a more dynamic workflow for designers. I'm curious, how does 3D-GPT handle more nuanced instructions that require a high level of creative interpretation, which is often critical in rigging for animation?
> With ADHD this is pretty much a thing. If you also get the “funzies” where you sometimes “relieve” a moment in a way that is so real that you end up speaking out loud in response to the relived memory, you should probably consider getting it looked into.

Is this really a sign of ADHD? I always thought I was just a bit out there. Honestly, I'd be relieved to attribute it to something relatively common like ADHD rather than some mysterious brain quirk. Just the other day, I caught myself having a full-on conversation with my grandpa, who's been gone for over two years now. And it was crystal clear, all the details and everything!
The potato chip is more powerful than a Amstrad PC1512.

While any serious game development was done in Assembly, languages like Python were a plenty to chose from.

So instead of looking down on the project for having chosen Python, as someone that used to play Defender of the Crown at the high school computing club, I marvel to what an ESP32 is capable of.
Probably tooling and developer mindshare.

Might not have much to do with git vs Mercurial technical merits.

> Celsius fits the mental model of normal human communication quite well if you use it.

That last bit is the key: Fahrenheit also fits the mental model of normal human communication quite well if you use it.

The F vs. C wars are silly; if you were raised using a particular unit system, then that system will most likely feel the most natural to you. If you didn't, you can certainly learn another and adapt, but for most people it won't feel right.

This is all just fine. Yes, it's annoying when you travel to a place that uses a different unit system than you're used to, but life is full of such things, and we should just live with it rather than trying to argue what's "right". Nothing is right, nothing is wrong. Whatever is, just... is.

(Note that I'm not making any arguments about which one is better for math or science or whatever. Just about what feels comfortable. For the record, I do think many things -- including global interop -- would be easier if we all used metric. But I don't think, no matter how hard I try, I'll ever be able to "feel" celsius properly.)

> Eating out is a big part of your life; there are restaurants, but they're expensive and for the most part unimpressive. If someone who worked at Noma owns it, then it's probably great, but otherwise often meh.

You must have extremely high standards or have different expecations.
I guess it depends where you moved from, but if you live in Copenhagen there are a lot of great restaurants.
> While modern GPS can get a position fix pretty quick

Can they? I have popular usb gps receivers and it still takes many minutes to get a lock on enough satellites to give accurate positioning. Given that it is dependent on things flying overhead in space, I don't think the receivers are where any "boot speed/signal lock" improvements can happen.

Mobile phones are no exception, they've just employed several tactics to make the perception seem as if it's instant.

They start with "course" location which is based of the geo data of the cell's ip address and vicinity to known wifi access ssids. They also know where you were at when the phone went into standby or was powered down, and can reasonably assume you haven't gone far away from that location without the accelerometer noticing movement of any kind (keep in mind most phones do not fully shutdown even when powered off). That's all a very good and pretty accurate starting point for when you fire up maps on your phone, and by the time it is a problem a "fine" gps signal is locked. And usually due to other system services (like network config, find my device, etc) firing up gps when you unlock your phone or some other privacy invading app running gps as a background task, there's usually a fine grained gps lock by the time you even open your maps app.
Indeed, I looked in all archives before asking the question.(scihub, anna's archive, libgen)
Talon has advanced quite a bit since I last I looked but it looks like it still falls short. However, I will give it a trial run again.

It looks quite useful if you need command and control. for general diction, not so much. To be fair, Dragon and other SR systems fail at speech driven editing.

99.9% of my dragon use is plane text dictation and when if the app is select-and -say enabled,edit and make corrections by voice. Speech commands as they are implemented are rarely useful mostly because there are too many of them to remember. Fortunately, my hands have recovered enough it is faster to type and mouse that it is to silently try to remember commands, construct what I want to say and then say it without stumbling or pausing then, undoing what was recognized, and trying again until I get it right.

one thing I'd like to do is difficult; have the same command give the same results in different contexts.

For example: say "make me root" and have the command recognize what machine on what network I'm connected to, sent the command "sudo su -<enter>" and then send the right password from my password manager without me having to type anything.

example: tail [forever] <service log> work the same no matter what distribution, of logging method (syslog vrs journald) and priv level. if I need a sudo before accessing log data put one in and give it the password if needed without any action om my part.

another should be possible is dictating into an app (like thunderbird) with text boxes and when focus is outside of the box, turn off recognition output. if you leave recognition output active outside of a text box then speech is typing hotkey commands from the letters in the words recognized.

disaster example: hotkey-stroking your way through your email, phone rings, you forgot to turn your mic off. at the end of the all, you recognize your out-of-context recognition has destroyed your mailbox is and you have no idea how to recover it.

The biggest thing is dragon is an out-of-the box solution. 15 mins (or less) install and I am dictating at high accuracy and a large vocabulary.
Since nobody answered you: intriguing argument but that's not a byproduct of programming but of alienation. You don't have to live this way even if you love programming.
> Especially as there is no gold standard so you would presumably back these by some asset for example this note is worth 1% of our fleet cars or something.

I would expect private issuers in eg the US to denominate their notes in USD. Or if USD were to abolished tomorrow, they would probably denominate in Euro. Failing that, I would expect a return to denomination in gold before denomination in car fleets.

Backing is a different issue. Walmart could denominate their notes in gold, but back them with the strength of their overall balance sheet and operations. Just like banks today denominate the contents of your bank account in USD, but back them with their balance sheets. (And have only a small fraction of their assets in USD reserves at the Fed or vault cash.)

> Problem is people getting ripped off or rugpulled.

That wasn't much of a problem historically.
Like the article author, I have always found Harari's work and ideas, if not facile, then uninsightful, and the size of his following unwarranted. But a passage in the article stood out to me:

> According to this notion, our mastery of the world is due to our talent for fiction, for constructing (and believing) stories about things that only exist in our imagination. It’s undoubtedly a simple and easy idea to buy into. But the question is whether this idea is also another one of those stories about things that don’t exist [emphasis mine].

To me, what the author is complaining about here would, in light of the size of his reception and following, in fact be a recursive demonstration of Harari's thesis.
Right, the cause for the outcome might be (also messed-up) media industry incentives, but the outcome is still that the more accurate "we keep getting grizzlies drunk then running them over" stance gets replaced by something that reads more like it's their fault.
Git has become de facto standard and with github's popularity most open source projects are loosing potential contributors.
I have a friend living in CPH on 100k/pa income and he is living a very modest life.

Unless you have a family with kids there is no point in going to DK. Your quality of life will be significantly worse.

Bottom line: Promotions are often just a ruse to extract more work for the same or sometimes even less pay overall.

Congratulations! You've been promoted to a "salaried" position.

Translation: You'll be making less without overtime.

Changing plantations can be a short term fix for a wage slave but the only way to avoid this sort of corporate BS entirely over the long term is to leave the plantation and become self employed/freelancer.
Mercurial came out about a week after Git did. I've not used it in a long time but I recall that it was a lot less confusing than Git to use.

But Git definitely won the war, and Mercurial has been disappearing little by little.
If you compare it to Asia or NA people usually eat out because it's a lot of fun and you can try variety of foods. DK forces you to stay at home and cook because it's just too expensive to do it every day.

Even in Singapore I can eat out every day and dont really feel it.
Linux Mint has always been a quick and responsive OS, but for the 8GB Ram i would suggest Ubuntu Latest Version.
I can't imagine the US government letting Intel Foundry Services fail. Not so much in the banking "too big to fail" sense but a "national security interest" sense: not only are semiconductors critical to the domestic economy but having the latest nodes available for military application gives a major leg up. We see this elsewhere too; SkyWater is a kinda terrible fab (their yield for even very old processes is incredibly bad lol) but the DoD is still throwing gobs of money at them to developed their radhard process because they need some domestic, trusted vendor to turn to. IFS might not be competitive but they probably aren't going anywhere, even if they fail to deliver anywhere near on time.
That is true, such spots should exist as well.

But the point of the men-only ones is to allow men to socialize with other men and talk about problems that affect them only or problems they don't feel comfortable talking about in a mixed setting.
Not even that, he's just presenting the other side of the scenario, in a probably honest attempt to balance the perspective so one-sidedly presented by the flamewar, pre-digested parent comment.
during the final stages of covid you could only buy tickets beforehand and therefore there wasn't really a hard door to get though. It sucked and destroyed really any unique character. For example, usually sissy is more colourful, more festival-like, easy going but being there during the last civid-stages it sometimes felt like an after-work event. With young professionals who look like they are being spat out of co-working spaces, wearing chinos and all.

I used to resent the door policies but after this experience (it really destroyed the atmosphere!), I am glad they exist.
>Your typical Java developer has zero knowledge about this

That's bit much of stereotyping, depends I guess - "Java Concurrency in Practice" is one of the most sold books (when it comes to Java), and it covers some parts quite well. I have met quite a few folks that understand the matters pretty well, admittedly part of jsr-166. It was the "double-checked idiom" vs the original Java memory model is effectively what brought sane memory models even to C++.

>unless you cared about extreme performance

That's the whole purpose of the weak memory models. Albeit, they did fail to deliver - very error prone, close to impossible to debug, effectively outclassed by x86-64 and Sun Sparc (both being total store order), even arm-64 became "stronger".
We’ll, I don’t think a value like “your nudity and/or sexuality is an intensely shameful thing and if a stranger sees it, even in a fictional representation, your life is ruined” is such a great thing that we need to preserve. It’s certainly not going to be useful as AI generated images proliferate.
That is just not true.

Old men also face all those things. But they are not allowed to leave abusive relationship, for cost of alimony and child support. There is no charity for someone, who on paper owns house and makes 100k (but lives in his car).

"Giving up too early" is just an excuse for this systemic abuse!

I don't think the article is arguing you should move to make significantly more money. The Nordics in general have a different look on work, family, freedom, and culture than the rest of Europe. That's what the article argues. If that doesn't fit your values, then obviously it's not the right fit.
It's right there in the first paragraph:

> For a long time Firefox Desktop development has supported both Mercurial and
Git users. This dual SCM requirement places a significant burden on teams which
are already stretched thin in parts. We have made the decision to move Firefox

You described it just right. That's it. Right now, on the "hero" section of the landing page, I have this:

Hey, this is a serious accusation. I would be very careful about raising false suspicions like this publicly.

It's not an 'accusation', it's feedback on your thing. It could be mistaken but it's a Show HN, the purpose is public feedback. If that sort of feedback is not what you're looking for, don't do a Show HN.
Publicly post your nude images, then.

But don't force it on those who do not want to do it.
The two came out at roughly the same time and for the first few years it wasn't really obvious which was better.

Personally, I chose Mercurial to start with, because I liked the Windows tooling available and it felt a lot more like Subversion, which is what I used previously.

However, Git won the mindshare war in the end, so I moved over to that.
