And there is an almost perfect overlap between the people capable of pulling off a rewrite like this and the people who would write a good C++ foundation in the first place.
> operated by the central bank

Who's paying for this? What happens if I want to spend my money abroad? Why would you assume a central bank won't be tracking us?

Visa, Mastercard, Amex, et al are all extracting profit from fees and ad-intelligence, but only about half of this revenue results in net profit. Running these things isn't free.

> you are paying more for the same thing even if you don't see it right in front of you

By extension, I infer that you think cash is free to handle. It's not.

For a high-volume business (eg supermarket, big box store), cash is an absolute nightmare. Counting at the point of sale, counterfeiting, storing, balancing and float management. That has time cost, while mistakes at any point have direct monetary costs. A 2% card fee compares pretty favourably, especially if you go cash-free.

I welcome any disruptors, but we need to be realistic. Given the awful history of simple bank transfers in the US, I wouldn't be expecting the answer to come from them.
A massive decline in post quality. I don’t know what happened but ever since the blackout only garbage gets posted. Even the quality of niche subreddits has fallen. I think the blackout meant that all the well moderated “good” subreddits closed while the bad ones stayed open. Now the bad subreddits are more popular and have eclipsed the good subreddits.

As for other websites, Lemmy and other federated aggregators have gained a bit of a foothold.
i would guess quite the opposite. from what i have seen in places that i have been to women are doing most of the work, like selling food at the market while i saw more men hanging around doing nothing. i guess some of the men that did work went elsewhere for the better jobs.
Formal verification seems more appropriate for finished software not undergoing development or feature changes. It's the last step before software is set permanently in stone, unchanging, forever.
> We adopt a two-player implementation of the Turing Test, where an interrogator asks questions of a single witness and must decide if they are human or an AI. This differs from Turing’s original three-person formulation, but obviates the need to have multiple human participants online for each game.

So, not actually a Turing test. A real Turing test is much harder, because the humans (if they've practiced) can try to coordinate, sort of like playing Werewolf.

>Kind of, yeah. When I used zsh, oh-my-zsh made the shell startup a lot slower, even though I wasn’t going crazy with the customizations

A lot or most of that wasn't zsh being slow though, but oh-my-zsh calling out to external programs (like git to get powerline info and such) and them being slow.

DARPA wanted to work on it as well (look up "Total Domain Awareness"), but I think the power vs jam resistance (even against non-intentional emissions, such as a broken computer/microwave or a malfunctioning localizer) tradeoff is just not tractable at this point.
Fish is such an underrated shell. They make some very strong, opinionated choices (like ditching POSIX compatibility), and the end result is an extremely nice shell. I've been using it for a bit over a decade now, and still love it.

Fish shell scripting is also extremely pleasant to write, it feels like an ergonomic bash.

There are a few warts, as with any project, but none of them have ever actually ever blocked me from just getting what I wanted done.
This is definitely not universally true. As long as the transit doesn’t suck (like, miles of walks, long delays) it is commonly used by people of all walks of life. For people with certain disabilities (e.g. vision problems) driving may be completely out of the question and having public transportation can be liberating. Now, I can understand there being issues with things being broken or not wanted to be buffeted around during rush hour, but those aren’t fundamental problems with it. You can definitely improve these by, for example, providing multiple elevators, or at-grade stations. Calling an Uber or taxi once in a while in the absolute worst case is still a massive win for everyone.

And, for what it’s worth, the risks are only unknown if you don’t take public transit. People who are frequent riders know all the good and bad lines and what times to take them just like you probably know which parts of the city you don’t want to drive through at night. Not to mention that a clean, safe, well-trafficked subway can often directly skip you through parts of the city you don’t want to go through.

They said that they thought it wasn't worth updating from C++11 to C++17. In their defense, C++17 adds only some incremental changes. There isn't much to port anyway.

Although I don't disagree with this:

> Sorry, you're never ever going to beat "we did it to chase the new shiny" which is the story across the dev world.

I don't think that's the case here. Rust offers more advantages over C++11 than C++17 or C++20 do.

For people who don't want to find the relevant part of the original post, this is it:

> We moved to C++11 in 2016 (some quick calculation shows that's 5 years after the standard was released), and we're still on C++11 because the pain of upgrading is larger than the promises of C++14/17.
I’ve been recently looking for a <$20 USB-C cable that can connect from my display’s non-TB USB-C port to my laptop. This means a reputable brand, 5Gb/s+ USB3 speeds, DP alt mode support with 4k@120Hz capability, around 100W PD, and 6ft+ length. It’s nearly impossible to filter by these specs, but I managed to find two cables that fit all criteria and confirmed to work in person:

* https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=24731

* https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-201303-BLK-1-8m-Compute...

Ultimately, though, I found that my existing 0.8m Apple TB3 cable had higher quality connectors (much firmer click and sturdier hold), so I’d just compromise on the length. I ain’t spending $150+ on Apple’s longer USB4 cable, but it’s probably the best option on all fronts other than price.
It seems that the authors were using the "regular" GPT-4 API.

The model on the other side of that API has already been fine-tuned to not say that it is a human or a consciousness being, and I suspect that this fine-tuning interferes with their experiment regardless of the elaborate system prompts the authors supplied to it.
While readlink is the correct way to just read the link, I often just use `file ...` since it will also show the symbolic link destination (on GNU at least).

Everyone's grandma has heard about ChatGPT by now. My hairdresser told me she uses it. You can bet that no participant in the original study had heard about computer software capable of simulating a conversation, let alone ELIZA itself which had just been invented.

What I get from this is that the zeitgeist is sufficient to change such a study result as the expectation of what AI can do is there, regardless of if you are familiar with LLM, or your education level.
> The question is, why should they be able to? And it's not about robbing but having total control over your own hardware.

Technically nothing is stopping them from robbing you similar how noting is technically stopping your landlord from robbing you and yet most won't do it because they don't like the idea of going to jail.

We enter into an agreement that they won't rob you, and we trust that to the protection you have from the code of law, courts and the state enforcement where you live to protect you from the other party robbing you.

Currently in the EU, I see our governments have enough fangs to ensure tech companies won't rob us but those who seek the utmost independence should roll out their own on-prem.

>Because when the moment comes, you can be sure they will do it.

Then they'll get a class action lawsuit.

>Adobe proved it when they disabled the software their customers in Venezuela used, just like that - because they could.

Yeah, if you live in a country where the state is weak, companies can easily rob you, but if you live in a place without a functioning government like Venezuela, then Adobe is probably at the bottom of the list of entities who are out to rob you, way behind the government itself and various gangs.

I’m currently reading Olivier Dubuisson’s ASN.1 — Communication Between Heterogeneous Systems. It’s not very well written, even if you ignore that it’s translated from French by a non-native English speaker. However, it’s still better than John Larmouth’s ASN.1 Complete. These are the only post-1994 books on ASN.1, and I can’t help but think that the lack of good comprehensive material on ASN.1 contributed to it having only a relatively niche existence.
“Just remember how to do it” isn’t really the problem.

It’s that the finer details of the syntax is sufficiently different from other things I do, and I don’t write shell scripts frequently enough to remember it.
Show HN: The Buckaroo Data Table for Jupyter
It's usually benign, but why encode any info into your public IDs? I wouldn't go anywhere near that.

It can make sense for some situational internal database use case where you want temporal locality and can't use full sequential since it's distributed, and even then your DBMS might recommend something else, e.g. Spanner explicitly says not to do this. And it doesn't need to be exposed to users.
But now, what are we going to do with systemd?

Disagree with RMS as much as you like on this question. Expect difficulties because the previous people calling him out for his positions on non-software ideas, in technical forums, have often been grabbing any straw they thought they could throw to discredit RMS's stance on intellectual property.

I disagree with Drew here; I think we can say that RMS is worth listening to when he speaks about software and the importance of a free flow of information; and that we can even revere his stance on that while at the same time disagreeing with him on any number of other subjects. Morality, economics, all sorts of things.

If the FSF had a mission to address sexuality or morality; then one would hope its leadership had views aligned with those goals. That aint what the FSF is for. They don't need to preach morality.
I love fish. Switch from ZSH+Prezto to just plain Fish and I'm not missing anything and it's way faster. All the servers have bash and I still write bash scripts, but for day-to-day terminal stuff it's Fish all the way for me.
I daily drive graphene. It's very good and I haven't had any issues with it. I think the security/privacy claims are somewhat overstated but it's definitely better than stock and gives you a lot of freedom in terms of how you mitigate advance of the Google empire.
The passing of turning test is a moving goalpost, it won’t matter if a large group of people get initially fooled by a program, the passing program should continue to convince them it’s a human even after they’re told it’s not. The cracks should not be discernable long after the program passed the Turing test to ensure no gimmick was used to its aid.

If it takes 5 seconds for your prompt to display or become interactive, yes.

As far as I'm aware, most of the other quality of life improvements can be reproduced in zsh with plugins. This performance bulletpoint makes me want to consider switching back to fish from zsh.

The problem isn't the highlights of it - it's the low-lights, which make up most of those books. The main POV character is incredibly annoying to follow around - he's a dense, not-too-intelligent, but incredibly-long-winded everyman, who is never told to shut up by anyone around him.

I don't need an everyman perspective[1] on an epic science-fiction story! I am an everyman! I can form my own opinion of it!

They are also rather heavy on author-dictated philosophy (which is not particularly interesting, or insightful, and manages to fall flat in a pretty major self-contradictory way) - whereas the first two Hyperion books have much less of an author's voice in them, and are much more of a presentation of an interaction of different, competing value systems. That is interesting! Listening to the chosen one go on and on about choosing again (when none of their disciples actually do) is not!

The overall plot of them is fine. It's, unfortunately, all in the execution.

[1] Or at least, not one that's hammered into me for ~60% of the book.

I built Buckaroo because I wanted a better experience for pandas/polars data analysis in Jupyter. Buckaroo is a modern data table for Jupyter that expedites the most common exploratory data analysis tasks. The most basic data analysis task - looking at the raw data, is cumbersome with the existing pandas tooling. Buckaroo starts with a modern performant data table that displays up to 10k rows, is sortable, has value formatting, and scrolls. On top of the core table experience extra features like summary stats, histograms, smart sampling, auto-cleaning, and a low code UI are added. All of the functionality has sensible defaults that can be overridden to customize the experience for your workflow.

I'm eager to hear feedback.

A spiral ham is actually a spiral sliced ham. This is the butt end or shank end of a whole ham and yes, typically probably 3kg at a minimum. The 'spiral' part is that during processing it's been sliced in a spiral that leaves slices roughly 5-7mm thick. These are typically a little more expensive than unsliced bone in hams, but the convenience factor is huge.

Hams like that often go on sale around US Thanksgiving and Christmas, with prices for them around US$4.50-6.50/kg last week and probably as 'loss leaders' around US$2-3/kg the week before Christmas. Ham is a regular part of 'traditional Thanksgiving' but not as much as turkey, whereas the 'Christmas ham' is definitely a thing.
"He's not playing by the rules so why should we" is a childish notion and I'm quite surprised you're tone-deaf enough to admit you hold this opinion out loud in such frank terms.

I'm not sure exactly what happened, but there's definitely some sort of bug - I entered what I was certain was the correct info and got the "incorrect" phrase. Rechecked about 100% times using all clues and still the same. Switched to a different browser and entered the same answers and... it said correct.

Might be because I clicked through to either the sleuth-o-meter or the how to play and then hit back? I also filled in the example table on the how-to-play.

What about implementing a trust-based system, where content aligns with different brands, schools of thought, and value systems? It can revolutionize how we view information. This approach could negate the need for censorship, allowing users to filter content based on their trust in specific brands or ideologies. It's a way to personalize content while maintaining a broad spectrum of views and reducing the impact of bias, spam or of stupid contributions.
fish actually has a built-in profiler for its startup that can be enabled via an argument:

This also exists (existed?) for mobile numbers, and was used by newspapers to 'hack' certain celebrities' voicemail. Including some cases where they deleted existing messages when the mailbox was full, so they could get more.
I only have the Quest 1, which in my experience felt closer to a 900p screen in your field of view. Not great, but you could comfortably read a full-sized terminal if you wanted. And of course, you can move your head around to navigate more if needed.

It's better than you'd expect, given the age and price. My bigger concern is that I just don't want to work in VR. Once the novelty wore off, I just wanted to use a normal computer again. I had much better experience with entertainment like 3D movies and Half Life Alyx/Beat Saber.

Currently "Programming Massively Parallel Processors" (Hwu, Kirk, El Hajj). It is full of typos, but once I look over that, it has some quite educational techniques.

The next one waiting on the book shelf is "Compilers" (Lam, Ullman).

Recently I also re-read "C++20 - The Complete Guide" (Josuttis), just as a reminder. But it was a PDF.

I don't think the issue at hand here is the letter of the law, but rather when a bargain is "too good to be true" which is up for interpretation.
On a different note, you're probably understanding the value of a good sql programmer, especially outside of pure tech companies. I've seen one provide more value than a team of programmers, and unlike many codebases it's rare that you need to do a complete rewrite 5-10 years later.

Parent comment should be marked SPOILERS, this one also.

Srsly tho, I appreciate your perspective. I found the dog part a little slow at times but still super interesting due to their collective identity which was explored quite a lot. As such it wasn't just a medieval squabble, it was entirely in keeping with the nature-of-consciousness theme that permeated the space part of the story.

I don’t think it will go much beyond a novelty, aside from niches like gaming and some industry applications, until it becomes feasible to reduce it to a Google Glass-like form factor, which doesn’t seem to be on the horizon. My guess is the Apple Vision Pro will be similar to people trying to use an iPad as a full laptop replacement, and most giving up on that because for most use-cases it’s just too cumbersome and not adequate.
Apart from history and standards, what is the reason for having the path to the current directory or even the current directory known to the kernel?

The shell already seems to track it, so presumably, that logic could have been part of the standard library, and get tracked from user-mode.

If the kernel has to track the current directory (e.g. for performance reasons, to make accessing files relative to a particular directory more efficient), wouldn’t just remembering the device ID and inode be easier for the kernel?

Alternatively, there could be kernel calls taking (device, inode) pairs, and the kernel could be completely ignorant of the ‘current directory’ concept.

That can work; except for naming them ‘directory ID’ instead of ‘inode’, that’s what the first Mac OS hierarchical file system did; paths were second-class citizens here.
> Royal Mail told me, apologetically, that HP requested the return of the laptop while it was out for delivery, a request so rare no relevant tracking update existed. So the driver scanned the “refused delivery” option.

I'm genuinely curious -- how does this even work? This isn't something I've ever heard of anybody being able to do, for the sender to cancel delivery mid-way.

Is this someone anyone can do? Only large corporate customers? Or something in a custom contract? How does the delivery service even handle it -- do they manually call the driver on the phone and be like, "hey never mind about that one package"?

This all just seems so random.
True but I hate real life meetings too.

We really need to stop talking about (just) remote and start talking about async.

That's the game changer: everything should be written and recorded, people should favour writing in issue threads or chats over having a meeting and keeping meetings for the essential sessions.
