Well not sure about the Steam Deck, its all nice and fine but if the original device is not very durable its still sucks of you need to repair it often.

I do not know if they are going this route with the Index, that thing is notoriously bad build, and it breaks for people after a very short lifespan all the time. Basically almost every serious reviewer complained how their Index broke after X months. I do not think its easy to repair at all and does Valve sell spare parts? It should life longer in the first place.
Correct me if I'm wrong GO, but I'm pretty sure he's referring to StarTrek, by comparing this pin to a combadge.

So LLMs today can do this a few ways. One they can write and execute code. You can ask for some complex math (eg calculate the tip for this bill), and the LLM can respond with a python program to execute that math, then the wrapping program can execute this and return the result. You can scale this up a bit, use your creativity at the possiblities (eg SQL queries, one-off UIs, etc).

You can also use an LLM to “craft a call to an API from <api library>”. Today, Alexa basically works by calling an API. You get a weather api, a timer api, etc and make them all conform to the Alexa standard. An LLM can one-up it by using any existing API unchanged, as long as there’s adequate documentation somewhere for the LLM.

An LLM won’t revolutionize Alexa type use cases, but it will give it a way to reach the “long tail” of APIs and data retrieval. LLMs are pretty novel for the “write custom code to solve this unique problem” use case.
Beautiful.

That 30% cut still seems egregious. Those features are all nice but none of them can be used to make a game.

There's one feature of Discord and Slack that I like - no one can fucking talk to me unless I invite them. I'm so sick of communication systems where random people can contact me. Phones are worse, but email is quite bad.

I've just created a new email because the one I've been using for the last 15 years is simply impossible to manage, with the constant, unsolicited spam.
Until we need to figure out how to reintroduce that 'critical period' property at our will.

A startup company I worked for was bought by IBM. Some of things that I noticed:

Right after the acquisition you feel like superstars: I mean your shares are now worth real money and you are the shiny new thing in a large organization, but this is also because the number of steps between you and the CEO is pretty low, because the people who did the acquisition are pretty high up, and you probably now work directly for them. But over time, this distance grows as you fall in the hierarchy..

It is way better for your career to be an acquihire than a hire- you would start at higher band for sure.

IBM was different from Google in that there was no mono-culture (like a giant repo for all code). Instead other groups tried to get you to use their products. For example, we used perforce but boy did they try to get us to use
ClearCase and then Rational Team Concert. Of course our group would have to pay "blue dollars" to use those tools (vs. green dollars for Perforce licenses).

At least some parts of IBM are driven by trade shows. There is a need to show the latest new product at these shows, which drives internal invention and development. My experience was that few of these succeeded in the marketplace.

IBM, being such an old company had a much more normal distribution of people at it. There was much more age, race and sex diversity than at startup companies. There were many more mid-career people who were in the middle of raising their families, not just trying to change the world.

I'm sure this is the same as in Google: "thought leaders" advanced fast. Actual coding would not advance you- fixing bugs and adding planned features does not change the world.

Hell, I live in Bavaria, and to this day you have to inspect shrooms and wild game meat for radiation - and it's likely to exceed safety thresholds, even decades after Chernobyl.

I've written a static code analyzer for C/C++ code. The javascript operator precedence table is almost the same as the C/C++ operator precedence table. So I was pleasantly surprised when I could also run the script on javascript code and have reasonable errors reported as well.

One bug that appeared is bitwise-AND followed by a comparison with no parentheses grouping the bitwise-AND operation. Obviously developers thought the bitwise-AND had higher precedence than the comparison. They were wrong. They obviously didn't test the code either.

Javascript code doesn't twiddle bits as often as C/C++ code so this bug doesn't appear as often.

For text editor support of this problem, what may work is to show that an expression with higher precedence IS evaluated first before the expression using an operator lower on the operator precedence table.

There was a suggestion in the Vim mailing list years ago to use background color to show the nesting depth of a block.

One could use background color or a font attribute, say underline or font-size, to indicate the evaluation order of a non-parenthesized multi-operator expression.

HN posts only support italics for font formatting so I'll use that in my example - hmmm, looks like I can't use block formatting in addition - just imagine the code indented in a fixed-width font

I worked as a contractor for a decade before, I didn't find it demeaning when employees didn't invite me to team lunches or special meetings. Just charge more for your services. Do you care when you get paid $200 per hr, if you are not invited to employee only meetings/lunches? Definitely not. The issue is about the right pay, not so much about demeaning/or that 'caste system' everyone invokes whenever someone sees unfairness.

Four states allow you to take the bar exam without attending law school: California, Vermont, Virginia, Washington. The various requirements differ. California requires two years of college, Virginia requires a bachelor's degree. Vermont takes four years, California takes five years.
I don't believe there is a stable solution. I think what we are witnessing is an industry hitting a wall it can't overcome. I do firmly believe that Hollywood is dying. Their structure just can't work in the world we live in.

Look at music streaming. Music was a crusty old industry rife with nepotism and abuse of artists, where some big companies scooped up all the profit. It was heavily disrupted, but the artists and their agents were free to list their music on any service, no exclusivity required, the services were just conduits that took a small cut. Now, that's mostly the world we live in.

The problem with video is that a single artist with a computer can't usually make a complete season of a TV show or a marvel movie. It cannot be disrupted in the same way because content cannot be produced unless big players are involved, its just too cumbersome and expensive.

But you already see that it's moving to the music model anyway, more people spend time watching tiktok, Instagram and YouTube than they spend watching TV shows and movies. And, with compute becoming cheaper and AI generated this and that, soon it will be possible for a single artist with a good computer to make good content. The key thing here is that video content will move the way music content did, except the incumbent content producers will not make it to the other side, whereas with music they can.
Maybe this is simply getting older, but this feels gross. I don't want my technology to feel this opaque. The form factor is a little silly, too. Why not a smartwatch? Tech like this produces glassholes.

As someone who is from outside the US, and only occasionally exposed to common core via hatred on reddit, hn, etc., I would like to ask: what is the deal with it? I am kind of having trouble understanding what exactly it is.

The examples I see about it are usually extremely simple to the point of having no information or testing ability, and others are just batshit insane like your example.
I think I'm missing something with graphics cards. I have a 1060 on a i7-3770 and it can put out 120fps on most games. My M1 Macbook can play those same games through Rosetta 2 and Wine + GPTK at a similar FPS.

What are people doing that they have like a 3080 on a 12700 and can barely hit 60fps??

Playing Video Games with Mind Control [video]
After almost 10 years of wanting a computer from System76, I was finally able to afford one and bought a Galago Pro 5 (galp5) in 2022. Since then I've come to deeply regret that decision.

I've replaced the keyboard within the first month because it shipped warped. It recently started to "ignore" key presses and needs to be replaced again (according to support without any diagnostics). $90 for the part that saw minimal use? No thanks.

The machine doesn't handle undocking well so it stays plugged all the time. Image burn even with power saving enabled? You betcha!

I hate to gripe. I really want them to succeed but it's just been one disappointment after another. Before buying I had read the posts referencing build quality and should have taken heed.
That's not "the claim". "The claim" is that olive oil is more healthy!

Someone saying they are suspicious of "the claim" isn't required to back their suspicions.

You are welcome to fact-check the entire narrative: which would boil down to fact-checking the original olive oil diet health claim.
being able to freely make whatever website / internet service you want is not ultralibertarianism. it's in fact an ultrastatist standpoint that there is something about internet communication that inherently needs policing

alas, the only good willed thing on that line of thought has ever been privacy regulations, which did not fix one single thing, just made everything worse because of cookie popups. it was a completely predictable outcome for any competent engineer of software and protocols, too. and it's the consumers fault for not opting to use a simpler protocol that doesn't dox you the moment you do anything.

the US police state won when they went after napster. you all ate that up. it's likely if we ever have a free internet again it will be outlawed, while the main internet has no purpose but to serve corporate propaganda harder and harder and align it with politics like "not buying a doordash mcmeal = racist" and "wanting private browsing = pedo". you will pay a $50 fee for the very most basic thing like permission to screenshot your monitor, and anyone who tries to fight it will be more and more criminalized. statism is the problem, not """libertarianism"""

If you have to ask yourself whether it's more convenient to walk or drive across the sea of asphalt to get there, you're missing the point. Are you seriously going to walk from CostCo to Target?

The cables don't need to be massive, but the voltage has to be because the power loss is related to the current flowing - so the Chinese just raised the voltage to 1 million volts instead of the usual 220/380 kV, and used DC instead of AC to get rid of reactive power and skin effect issues. Their longest line transfers 12 gigawatts of power over almost 3.300km distance - that's not that much that remains to cover the distance from the US East to West coast!

Behind every corporate media source making a stand is a pod of rich old white men pocketing the admission fee regular people pay to witness it. Any positive effect jezebel or any similar corporate media outlet had was a latent function of generating view-based profit which, for most of its life, supported the company that released the Hulk Hogan sex tape. Yay for challenging toxic gender dynamics?

I would never argue that the capitalist powers that be aren't actively trying to stifle the voices of and resources for marginalized people, but you've given me no reason to assume the shuttering of jezebel was any more idealogically motivated than starting it was.
Can we please stop with abusing ligatures for things like != into ≠? If you want APL, please use APL and leave the rest of us alone.

Yeah, the cdprojekt/Linux story is a weird one. They even released witcher 2 on Linux. But after all the hate they got , for it being a bad port, using some translation layer, it seems like they dropped the Linux use cases.

At least they don't go out of their way to block heroic games launcher/Linux and I'm happy with that.

Ok, but at Arm my red (intern) badge was no more 'demeaning' than my blue (permanent) badge. Not least because they only left my pocket when I needed to open a door...

(Colours from memory, I think that's right, they were certainly different anyway.)

Point is you can certainly learn not to treat contractors like employees, have badged access, etc., without having such hostility attached to it.

Edit: no! Red actually was a 'badge of shame', that was 'I forgot my badge today and had to get a spare from reception'. Anyway, it's beside the point exactly what was what. Different badges and access/treatment don't have to bleed into social treatment, they don't even have to be that visible.
There is an interesting hypothesis by Oded Galor that states that there should be a balance between not enough and too much diversity when it comes to innovation and progress - with the first you'll get stagnation and with the second you'll get chaos.

Just one of the twenty families using more water than the entirety of Southern Nevada, including Las Vegas, to grow mainly hay is absurd. At some point the fact that the irrigation district has one of the oldest water contracts has to come to terms with the fact that the desert isn't the best place to farm. People in America should have priority over exporting hay to other countries.

This is actually really common, I don't get it really, with Warcraft 3 Reforged they swapped the UI to WEBUI because they didn't know how to use legacy FDF files.

Not only did they get rid of the cool 3d menus made with actually rendered 3d models (mdx) but they swapped them to webms instead (lost a lot of unique animations).

Anyways, the UI loads incredibly slow, it's very laggy, yet if you open it in browser, it is actually fairly smooth, what is going on? nobody can tell.
Everything is a different beast than what came before it.

Notice, I'm not saying the panty wringers were wrong about all the stuff that came before. I've come to terms with the fact that they were largely right. The corruption of each successive generation actually happened. What I'm saying is, it seems that this is just an artifact of culture rather than standalone negative impacts of new things. I don't know what to do with that information, but it is staring me in the face.
Exactly why I only buy used cars that predate all this insanity.

If we can keep cars from the 40s running, keeping cars from the early 00s running is no big deal. Honestly older fully mechanical/analog cars with manual transmissions are often cheaper and easier to maintain than modern ones with high complexity and DRM on every part.

Sadly my desire for privacy will likely prevent me from ever buying electric unless I build my own car, which I might.

There's "contractors" and then there's "branded as outsider". The red hot iron kind of branding, not the marketing kind. Red badging is what you do when you view people as numbers in a spreadsheet instead of people.
> They probably feed as many people

"only a few families used a majority of the water they got to grow food that people eat."

"most use the bulk of their water growing hay to feed livestock"

It's well established that it takes more acres to feed a cow that's going to be turned into hamburgers and steaks than if they just grew food for people.
Finally looked at both of those bitcoin events that you are attempting to equate to the DAO fork. I commented about the first one elsewhere here. The second one was indeed a chain fork, which is actually a normal and expected event in Bitcoin when miners disagree (for whatever reason) about which blocks are valid or not.

In this case the disagreement happened because of a backwards incompatible change that was accidentally made to the mining software. Nodes running the old software rejected blocks generated by the new software. The bug was fixed and miners happily stopped using the buggy version of code and the chain fork was resolved, just as designed by the Bitcoin protocol. Nodes that never ran the buggy version didn't have to do a thing.

Like my discussion of the other bitcoin fork, this to me looks like an entirely different category of event than the DAO. Bitcoin fixed a broken promise in both cases. Ethereum broke a promise in the DAO fork.
They mostly grow hay. A large portion of the hay is exported to other countries.
It's a case study footnote, a citation that proves that the social media economy could only bear 2-3 commercially successful participants. Everything else is just prospectors digging for oil and never striking it.

No, they don’t they feed hay to cows.

> People in America should have priority over exporting hay to other countries.

major callout right here. i don't mind farmers using as much water as needed, but if i need to turn my pool water off so they can grow soybeans to ship to china, then thats a problem.

It may be the case, and I agree likely, that automated speed limits save lives on net.

Speeding on the way to the hospital is a very small subset of speeding, and you claimed that speeding on the way to the hospital caused more deaths than delay, and seemingly implied that it was impossible for delay to be more deadly, even on a case by case basis.
