This strikes me as a Wikipedia Article type caveat. Sure the warning applies to certain categories of article/data, namely the ones where people are jockeying to have the authority of an encyclopaedia / data to reinforce their political stance, but on any sort of non political topic neutrality is a non issue. I fully anticipate that say, police and crime data by demographic shouldn't be trusted. Other data, like say pounds of recycled garbage collected per census tract, is probably fine.
Exhalation is also done as a best audiobook I've listened to - with author's comments (read by himself) interjected between the stories.
Criticizing the actions of overweight or unhealthy people is as socially tabboo as that of trans, israel or jews. It doesn't matter how sound your argument is, these socially "protected" classes are infallible apparently.

I think after several generations that experience mortality at younger ages because of obesity, there might be an honest discussion of how bad being sedentary and overweight is for your health. Until then you have liberal rhetoric equating any acknowledgement of this reality to an accusation that someone is a bad person for being fat.

If the technology replaces humans finding their own values and expressing them with a regurgitation of whatever's the most likely to follow a given set of letters in human writing so far...

well, I for one find that repulsive.

I may be nothing but a stochastic parrot, but my life experience doesn't feel like it, and I have less than no interest in consuming output generated by one.
That’s very true in a deep way. We have smaller guts and jaws because we tamed fire. We domesticated animals and plants to our needs. If we had to eat raw meat and the 50k year old wild variety of vegetables we’d be on the brink of starvation.
I've mentored a couple developers who have made heavy use of ChatGPT or CoPilot in their work. I tell them the limits of it as well as the strengths. The upshot is that, if you use the code one of these tools produces without understanding what it does, you're going to be in deep trouble. As often as not, the code they produce is not well suited for the intended task, or is incomplete (commonly with security flaws) or is just broken.

To get the most out of AI, you have to be on the top of your game. You have to be able to phrase your needs extremely well and evaluate the output for possibly subtle problems.

As the tools get better, the need for deep understanding will increase.

Therefore, you should apply yourself to getting very good at using AI. That's where a lot of your career will be going forward. And if you're good, it will INCREASE your value to employers.

My message to you then is to take heart! You are well on your way to being one of the few who can do great things with these new capabilities. To be honest, your career may go through some ups and downs as the world learns to adapt to AI. But if you stick with it, you'll always be on the cutting edge!
FWIW: I suspect when GP said “x64 chips” the reference point was that Apple’s main range of devices in 2023 (Apple Silicon) do not run x64 chips.
Absolutely nothing came from it. Except for the fact that the best Reddit client and arguably one of the best iOS apps of all time disappeared off the face of the earth.
Politics aside, if there was ever a time for an Apollo-like moonshot program to build secure infrastructure and write secure code, it's now. Thanks to wide dissemination of techniques, Attack As A Service and even AI-assisted hacking, the bar to mount attacks just keeps getting lower. The real answer is to build resilient systems with zero backdoors rather than trying to put the hacking genie back in its proverbial bottle.
They should just strap a generator in there and let us know how much energy we generated.

It was a good time for sure. I worked there 7.5 years before leaving. Still keep in contact with a lot of people from that job. On the first work day of the month there are hiring threads on HN if you end up wanting to check those out
Sounds like something they could try. We'll see what happens. It's not like I expect C++ to "roll over" and just declare that they don't care anymore if people use the language.
How do you know they're Reddit-style if you weren't a regular Reddit user? This is literally one of the most common complaints about HN, and has been repeated continuously since HN's inception. It's in your mind. Every forum's activity changes over time, especially as it continues to grow. It's not becoming more like Reddit. Reddit just becomes more like "a forum that grows over time", like every other forum does. Eternal September.

But just to comment on the idea that some comments here are "low quality, like Reddit", I'd like to note that your preferred form of comment isn't necessarily "high-quality". Not in the way you probably mean. Almost all HN comments are low-quality. They're made by the inexperienced, usually sharing opinions rather than facts, with no evidence, often arguing over something banal or subjective, with an aim to correct rather than educate.

There's just not that many experts out there. When there are, and they do comment, they often get downvoted by the ignorant. Instead most people share comments which are more like opinions dusted with a little information they read once and probably don't remember completely accurately. Often comments and conversations get downvoted or flagged purely because someone doesn't like their opinion or disagrees, regardless of whether they might be right or have a genuine argument.

The big difference between Reddit and HN is a HN user believes they are superior. Intellectually, morally, behaviorally, or just in the company they keep. You keep seeing this comment all the time, "Reddit is low-quality, HN is high-quality". But it's not. "Quality" can have many different dimensions and each of those be subjectively preferred based on the person. HN encourages people to share thoughts even if they have no idea what they're talking about. And discussions often devolve into the ignorant arguing over nonsense. It's like a sewing circle for nerds who believe that believing you are smart or right is more important than actually being right. That argument for its own sake is better than making a light-hearted joke. HN is where levity goes to die, and the intellectually insecure reign.
Favourite fax stories:

1. Different standards, so if something doesn't go through between you and a party only, each side blames the other. "I'm receiving faxes from others, so the problem is on your end". "My faxes to others are going through, so the problem must be you".

2. Some fax machines would use some OCR tech to "sharpen" faxes. e.g. close the loop on some 6s and turn them into 8s. Exaggerated example:

"I did respond to you. I sent a fax to the number on your own faxes to me. Your fax said your fax number is 1-888-888-8888 and I have the confirmation here". (turns out 888-888-8888 was an unrelated toy store's fax machine in a different city). "I have my letterhead right here and our fax number is 1-666-666-6666, are you drunk?"

3. If you have two fax machines and aren't receiving any for a while, you can do a thorough self-test by sending a fax from one to the other.

4. Needing to cancel a doctor's appointment, but not getting through over the phone, I just sent a fax.
Not me. I don’t have many IRL friends anyway because I roleplay “chaotic neutral” in every social situation. Turns out human beings have feelings and don’t want to deal with edgelord drama all the time.

I didn't go too hard into all the optimisations possible with kerning and such, but every software I tried (about 3 or 4) was incredible frustrating, broken or difficult to handle. Might be user error though, and I suspect paid software works a lot better. Applaud you for sticking with it.
This presentation from Deep Mind outlines some foundational ML books: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1lPePNMGMEKoaDvxiftc8hcy-rFp...

For the impatient, look into slide #123. Essentially, the recommendations are Murphy, Gelman, Barber, and Deisenroth.

Note these slides have a Bayesian bias. In spite of that, Murphy is a great DL book. Besides, going through GLMs is a great way to get into DL.

At first glance I was about to comment on unsprung mass but before doing so I did a quick dive and can see that it isn't in actual fact an "In-Wheel-Motor" by any stretch of the imagination which makes it a bit of a misnomer.

I too, have been using Wayland for quite some time.

I have some issues with it, but by no means they are deal-breaker, otherwise I'd have returned to Win10.

Most issues (that I've faced) are related to Hardware Acceleration, which, by my knowledge, is a common issue in Linux ecosystem; others are NVidia related, when playing games.

From my experience, overall: it's fine. (At least on KDE Plasma.)

I think news people tried to throw that at the wall for a little while, but it didn't stick.
I love Tamagui - for my are running an enterprise-grade application on it. It does come with some deep-sitting, surprising bugs though, for example modals on iOS with 2 select form components completely break form submitting but one works just fine.

Other than that, I think one cross-platform framework like Tamagui with a large company and team behind it would be the ideal framework for most projects.

Since it didn't exist: I did build a Tailwind-like UI library for Tamagui to make building new projects easier. It's called ComponentHub [0] and offers pre-built, more complex UI components

Part of the reason it's so expensive here, though, is the swath of city and county owned open space around the outskirts of town. Maybe some day it'll get developed, but I think it'll be a long time before that can happen.
I can't comment on heart disease but I recently started adding running. Mostly in the form of running to and from the gym to lift weights, but I will sometimes throw in a 5k, even throwing in something like 7k today.

What I've noticed, when in the past I was a weightlifting maximalist and running minimalist, is that after running I've noticed a large endurance benefit in other sports. For example: windsurf hydrofoiling. In light winds it takes a lot of full body effort to pump the board/foil and sail to get out of the water and flying. I noticed how gassed I could get. After throwing running in the mix my capacity to get going without getting totally gassed has gone up substantially.

I would hope that would also translate into other long term benefits for health (provided I continue to cut back on drinking and improve my diet otherwise...)

> Researchers also found that those who stopped climbing stairs daily during the study showed a 32% higher risk of cardiovascular disease compared to those who never reported climbing stairs.

I guess between the after effects of C19 and having a useless knee, both of which make climbing stairs a horrendous experience, I don't have to worry about getting towards the age when they'll consider knee replacement a good option[1]!

So, you are just fine with the local bully stealing your lunch or the global autocrats stealing out democracy?

This is the kind of thing which has longterm repercussions. Aside from the specific contextual impact on perception of this story, The exposure of this goes to the trust in the public broadcaster.

If the BBC minimises this, it's indicative of a lack of wider concern to their role. This worries me. I don't want a "we've fixed it" one liner, I want to understand how it happened, and how they intend preventing it happening in the future.
Thanks for your response. Personally I fall into the "strings are arrays of bytes" camp (which is also shared by Go). A difference between my view and that of the Go designers is that I don't feel that it is important to support Unicode by default and am perfectly happy to assume that every character corresponds to a single byte. Obviously that makes internationalization harder, but the advantage is that strings are much simpler to reason about. For example, the number of characters in the string is simply the length of the string. I would be fine having a separate Unicode string type in the standard library for those instances when you really need Unicode; this design makes the common case much simpler at the expense of making the rare case harder. I also don't see that mutability is such a huge deal unless you absolutely insist that your language support string interning.
San Francisco and Los Angeles
I came to the conclusion that the inverse is true, people tend to love languages they don't use.

I used to love Lisp and Racket. But after writing some real programs with other people I realized the idea that every codebase has its own DSL and languages is actually stupid, doesn't scale and hard to maintain. Came to hate Haskell for the very same reason. Every Haskell programmer think he's more clever than others so he decides on 30/40 language extensions and you have something that simply isn't Haskell.

People should not program programming languages. There's use cases for this style of programming, but they aren't how general-purpose programming should look like.

You are missing the point.

When someone is looking up the mountain, trying to start climbing its far less intimidating to start with a 50 step mountain, not a 10,000 step one.

This isn't about appealing to, or helping you. It's about appealing to and helping those that wouldn't have otherwise walked those 50 steps.
Nope but I have known at least two other (infrequent) posters IRL in the past.
A pretty important distinction between machines in the 1980s and ChatGPT is the amount of human effort that the output requires. It's unlikely that Herbie Hancock considers people who press "start" on a Casio synthesizer to play a factory programmed demo track real musicians.

If someone incorporates a factory preset into a song - sure, nothing's wrong with that. That's when a machine is used as a tool, not as a substitute for human creativity.
Yes, they’re not deploying them. That doesn’t mean it doesn’t still help to know the fundamentals of the field, especially when you’re trying to innovate.
Oh yes thanks for the info. Wow 7.5 years is a good run for sure. That's great you keep in touch.
They'll probably rotate keys every now and then.

There's a good summary for the US here [1]. The most relevant parts:

> Assuming that an incorrect advertised price is truly an error rather than an attempt to deceive, companies are only obligated to honor it if a customer makes an offer at that price and the company accepts it. This exchange creates a contract between buyer and seller.

> In a store, customers make an offer simply by indicating they want to buy an item – for example, by bringing it up to the register – and the company accepts the offer by ringing up the sale. In the brick-and-mortar world, contracts don't get formed around pricing errors because the store just won't ring up the sale. But online selling, in which transactions are processed automatically, has added a new layer of complexity to the issue.

and

> When an e-commerce website has had an incorrect price entered into its database, it can end up not only advertising that price but also accepting orders and charging customers' credit cards for that amount. The central issue here is whether retailers can void the contract created when orders were accepted.

> The easiest way for a company to deal with such situations is to have website "terms of use" that clearly state the company can cancel orders and refund customers' money because of pricing errors (or for any reason). Otherwise, a common law doctrine known as "unilateral mistake of fact" applies. This doctrine allows a party to a contract to set aside the contract if honoring it would be "unconscionable," or if the other party could have reasonably assumed it was a mistake. A $1,000 item advertised for $10 likely would meet this definition.

It absolutely stuck but Health at Every Size (HAES) and the body positivity movement doesn't have the same resources to attack and vilify as the other groups.

Israel isn't just taboo. They actively destroy opposition by getting people fired, prevent them from getting funding (important in politics), and have entire call centers staffed tasked with forum sliding and demoralization. See the JIDF (it never stopped contrary to the lies on Wikipedia).

Nobody is suggesting making power plants out of these panels. So not sure why you’d have that idea.

If you don’t have access to the grid, like for remote sensors and such, being able to generate just a bit of power at night can let you avoid needing an expensive battery.

Don’t argue against a technology based on an application it was never intended to handle.

This is why I say that anonymous sites like Reddit are not Social Media. If I am on there, there is zero proof that anyone else commenting is a human. They all could be bots and I have no way to prove otherwise.
I didn't read the paper (paywall) but just climbing five flights of stairs might count as high intensity compared to just walking on even land. It's of course not high intensity for a fit person or compared to doing burpees as fast as possible. But especially in an epidemiological study on common heart disease, the assumed base level is probably something less than that.
Nah, I could post that fat people are lazy and not get banned on any platform. You can't touch the other three things you mentioned.
Right, ignore it on Wayland because their drivers on Wayland are supported so poorly that's it's not worth wasting your time. It started getting a bit better lately, but it's still far from good.

I'd expect nouveau+nvk for it to catch up sooner than blob will become decent on Wayland.
That’s right, the most popular content creator on Youtube is an IM and the most popular game analysis channel is by an amateur
Well no, it isn't - it's just that every other solution is several orders of magnitude more expensive.
So what's your suggestion start a 3rd initiative ?

It will suffer the same same problems that Wayland has. the problem is that X is flawed at the design and level and whatever you propose that fix those design issues will face the same type of push-back from the communities that don't like it because it's not the way their grandpa taught them to do things.

keep in mind the wayland devs are the xorg devs that gave up on that project because how hopeless it was to fix things around.
This is only true for very simple single-threaded code. Once you’re doing anything the compiler can’t trivially optimize, you’re using libraries, getting left far behind by the Rust program, or both.

Doing something challenging has merit in and of itself. I am sympathetic with Cave's concern with the commoditization of works and it is easy to see how someone would have a poor opinion of machine assisted works when inundated with the mediocrity of half arsed efforts created by tools that are still in their infancy. I feel the issue at heart here is that is is easy to create something now that superficially resembles a quality work, but on anything beyond a glance are significantly flawed. People are doing this, for the most part I think they are aware of the flaws and are just exploring the possibilities, but a few get carried away or lack the ability themselves to distinguish between the superficial and the deep.

If a machine could write a book that is better than Lord of the Rings, I would want to read it, and I think it would be dogmatic to dismiss it simply because it was generated by machine. To create such a work though, might require a sufficiently advanced AI that you might be able to meaningfully describe what it did to write it as effort. If it were to go further to a superhuman AI which could knock out books like this with ease on a daily basis, would that diminish those works? Isn't that akin to saying that books from talented authors are less worthy than those from untalented?
Why would a single project need to be in charge of this for every language?
