Am I cheating the system if I go to Oktoberfest and listen to music I didn't pay to listen to?

Am I cheating the system if I watch an ad and then don't purchase the item being advertised?

am I cheating the system if I choose not to pull off the highway and gas up at the gas station that was advertised on the sign right before the off-ramp?

All of these things are equivalent, yet big tech has convinced you one is not like the others.
Haha tbh not a lot of thought went into the name, just went for a drink with a higher alcohol content, and I think Whisky is kinda catchier.

Yes, the Harrier Jet offer was obviously a joke.

I think our legal system would be much improved by expecting a certain level of critical thinking before lawyers get involved.
How does pipewire work around those driver issues? Could pulseaudio use the same techniques but there was just no development capacity for it?
Yeah, I think we've been flooded by three-letter acronyms for so long that we see them everywhere. It doesn't happen with four letters: you wouldn't write VOLT or WATT.
C++ is not backwards compatible with C. It’s mostly compatible, but it’s not completely compatible like say Objective C which is a strict superset of C.

The Turing Test is not intended to be fair. It is intended to be sufficient.
If everything is really true and you have been able to assess correctly, this person sounds like someone who doesn't have X years of experience but more like 1 year of experience X times. Huge difference.

The worst combination is someone who has been out there but still cannot be relied upon. They usually are not coachable by now. Usually.

So I am afraid you can't do much here except letting them go. If you don't have authority to fire, then you need to talk to your management and have an honest conversation. After all, you are hired to fix this team.
I've been playing BG3 on an m1 Mac mini and it's surprisingly good. I haven't bothered loading it on my big-GPU gaming PC to compare, but that alone says something.

(I'm in no way a serious gamer, so there may be plenty of things I overlook)
This is not how language works and this type of argument is, at best, silly.

You talk about science as though it isn't applied empirical philosophy with plenty of caveats. You can't treat economics with a significant gap between theory and reality... in the same way that we treat physics as a theoretical study of the external world with significant gaps between theory and reality.
That message on subredditstats is more recent than the sharp drop; the drop appeared during and immediately after the protest, and the users didn't come back. The policy change took effect shortly after, and subredditstats only recently added that message to their pages (it wasn't there ~week ago).

It also passes the sniff test. Pick any of the largest subreddits from the list and look at its front page. r/funny, with 54m "readers", has multiple posts on its front page right now with less than a dozen comments. r/news has more activity on its posts, but still far, far less than 2019.

It's not like there's a thriving community on Reddit that makes subredditstats' numbers look wildly wrong.
Those are separate binaries under the same umbrella project name, you're not forced to use resolverd if you just want the init system.

No one owns the airwaves. If you don't want to pay the SIG fees, simply do not use their logo or name.
You're right. I got confused by the C++17 "upgrade" argument (which doesn't make any sense to me).

The following point made me laugh, though:

> Being written in Rust will help fish continue to be perceived as modern and relevant.

Is this tongue-in-cheek or meant seriously?
Yep I was using Baconreader and when that stopped working, I simply stopped using reddit. I was not a heavy user by that point, but now my use has gone to zero aside from the occasional google search result leading me there.
Yegh, old (occasionally not even 5 years old) soft-touch plastic turning sticky goopy.

Hi there, it's been wonderful reading everyone's comments!
This is almost surely just because it wasn't a real Turing Test. The paper discusses some limitations.
There's a fourth scenario - the homeowner pays off the mortgage early. In the US, early payment can involve a penalty, so the homeowner buys out the loan significantly above market rate.

Over the course of a mortgage, a significant number of homeowners will find they "need" to relocate for work or to join a partner or to upsize or downsize. Offering these people a big improvement on "pay a penalty rate to discharge your loan early" would cost the banks money, so they need to pitch any refinancing offer where it makes enough profit off the other homeowners to be worthwhile.

You're obviously not aware of the history of diamond rings.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engagement_ring

> In the early 21st century, the jewellery industry started marketing engagement rings for men under the name "mangagement rings".

...

> The idea that a man should spend a significant fraction of his annual income for an engagement ring originated from De Beers marketing materials in the mid-20th century in an effort to increase the sale of diamonds. In the 1930s, they suggested that a man should spend the equivalent of one month's income in the engagement ring.[40] In the 1980s, they suggested that he should spend two months' income on it

it's a marketing swindle, not an analogy.
Respectfully, I did not read it as this.

If anything, I read about how helpful it is to support parents and children, especially the parent that gives birth.

See how I said that without gender?

I understand it used the word mother. And child. But learning to read into and past something can leave valuable advice undiscovered.

Sometimes the partner that doesn’t give birth can’t fill the gaps no matter how much they do. They should never stop trying, including seeking support. While it might not be every case, it’s not uncommon either.

Instead of taking this in a negative direction, we could say ask is there anything insightful there could apply to some or most parenting situations?

I’m starting to learn about the studies that are exploring how much postpartum can or cannot be affected by unconditional support that is not there to make the parents feel any less capable.

As a the non birthing partner, this approach might have more of an effect of silencing conversation than was intended. It’s in the spirit of keeping the discussion open that I am responding.

Edit: typo, clarity
Yes, the “Rockwell Retro Encabulator” - a Reddit favorite - is currently on the front page of HN. Sigh.
It's quite sad that one person can get this level of hate online just for releasing open source software.

If you don't like his software why are you using it? If it's because your distro uses it shouldn't you try to be convincing them to switch to your preferred alternative, instead of calling out the developer by name on public forums?
You include the standard port to avoid the tax and let people voluntarily switch to get the benefits. If it's so amazingly good it will eventually become the new standard and you can drop the old port when it becomes uncommon for people to have stuff with only the old port.
If early adopters have moved elsewhere, and it's all late-majority, it will have the most eyeballs right before it dies out.
There is absolutely no parent who's problem is a child who thinks "I need to eat right now".
Language design is a curious mixture of grand ideas and fiddly details

I hadn't heard this last one before, but it's SO right ...

I always wondered why JS and PHP and Perl got so many details "wrong" (e.g. with Perl, one definition of "wrong" is that Perl 6 / Raku didn't make the same design choice)

Turns out there's an avalanche of details, and they interact in many ways!

Python did better, but I strongly argue both Python 3 and Python 2 got strings wrong. (Array of code points isn't generally useful, and it's hard to implement efficiently. See fish shell discussion about wchar_t on the front page now; also see Guile Scheme)

OCaml seems to have gotten mutable strings wrong (for some time), and also I think the split between regular sum types and GADTs is awkward. And also most people argue that objects vs. records vs. modules is suboptimal. And a bunch of mistakes with syntactic consistency, apparently.

Looks like almost every language had problems with for loops and closures, including C# and Go - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37575204

So basically I agree that plowing through all the details -- and really observing their consequences in real programs -- is more important and time-consuming than grand ideas.

But if you lack any grand ideas, then the language will probably turn out poorly too. And you probably won't have any reason to finish it.
Yes, the first Dirk Gentley novel was based off a cancelled Dr. Who project called Shada, which I believe was recently released as an animated special.
while they don't yet rise to the level i would describe as 'intelligent' without qualifications, they do seem to be less unintelligent than most of the humans, and in particular most of the ones criticizing them in this way, who consistently repeat specific criticisms applicable to years-ago systems which have no factual connection to current reality
Controversial opinion, but what is the point of becoming a pro chess player in a world of computers? Any novice can beat you when assisted by an engine. The same can't be said of other professions. A novice can't design a better bridge than a civil engineer just by using cots software.

Women in the past did not spend virtually all their time caregiving. That isn't even an option until a society has reached a high level of affluence and ease.
As I see it, post quality declined massively starting from when the smartphone became the device most users were browsing from. No matter how proficient people claim to be with a phone keyboard, it is a medium that discourages longform text. The blackout made no difference with regard to that, the damage was already done.

Post quality also declined after the 2017 redesign. The old design had a sidebar where subreddits kept a FAQ and wiki. Today, the same questions get asked again and again on many subreddits. Mods can't lock those posts and direct the author to the FAQ, because most users can't even see the FAQ. Mods who try to ensure a firm hand regularly get excoriated by the community, even by regulars on the sub, as "gatekeepers".
This is getting tiresome and predictable.

There seems to be a concerted effort across academia to:

1. Depict invasions as migrations and downplay any effects on the population being invaded.

2. Ascribe the primary cause of all events to climate change.
The article was too short. My question is: what makes the land uninhabitable after the dam collapse? Nuclear waste leaves radiation making the area unsafe for life, for many, many years, but what about a dam collapse makes an area uninhabitable?
Personal anecdotal experience here.

Many subreddits have outright collapsed and will almost certainly never return.

But the subreddits that stayed seem to hit the frontpage and attract new followers... All the Redditors looking for new hangout spots. Post quality has declined as a result, but the subs who stayed have seemingly absorbed the traffic.

Lemmy.world usage spiked dramatically, as has Mastodon.world. I think these alternative open source communities show lots of promise, though many decisions at Lemmy seem naiive right now.

The adults seem aware of the Lemmy problems however so I remain hopeful. If your community is text based, Lemmy is likely a good fit.

Picture based communities have a NSFW / trolling problem that is still an open question. If trolls can post CSAM to threaten the moderators / admins, what are Lemmy admins supposed to do about that?

DeFederation (and temporary DeFederation) are okay tools for this problem... But better tools need to be built into Lemmy. Random server #244 doesn't necessarily deserve to be defederated if just 20 or so trolls are posting CSAM and threatening Admins. Nominally, a tool that more selectively bans users (or new users only) instead of cutting off the whole server would be ideal.
Lots of bad people left too, which is probably a net good for reddit even if the number is lopsided for one or the other.
Gold and silver back currencies are also fiat, because we value the gold and silver, not because gold will feed your kids or grow your crops.
Floccus – Sync Bookmarks Privately
They had a draft version that was obvious a joke and set the price 100x higher. They lowered it to get people excited about the prospect of actually getting the jet.

In other countries, like Canada, they also ran with a disclaimer.

It wasn't obviously a joke. At the time the expenditure on actually providing it would have been ground breaking, but not too many years later marketing spends were high enough that it would have been a reasonable cost of business (and a phenomenal promotion to actually do it). There are even insurance programs now that focus on fringe outcomes in marketing campaigns, specifically so you can have unlikely to be claimed grand prizes at a managed level of risk.

In fact, I believe Pepsi's loss on the jet would have been pretty similar to the Taco bell 2001 MIR splashdown promotion (where they offered free tacos to every American if MIR hit their target).
Women really should. The fact that women don’t want to is a entirely different discussion still pertaining to degeneracy.

> It does.

It works in Cygwin right now, it doesn't work on Win32 without a compatibility layer. Personally, I don't think of that as "working on Windows", but I concede that that's somewhat up to interpretation on the "on Windows" part. I'm confident that someone is going to get a MingW build working even if it's not official.

> With Go, it would have worked out of the box on all the targets Go can support.

That's absolutely disingenious. If you choose to only use the Go standard library , sure. But the same is true for Rust and even for C++. If you don't use any platform-specific APIs most languages will work on any target. Fish, however, does use platform-specific APIs and nothing about Go changes that.
What problems did they expect to solve? Did this actually solve these problems?
The results are from 2023, not 1966. The fact that ELIZA (indeed surprisingly) did better than GPT-3.5 at fooling people into thinking it's human is discussed in Section 4.4, "The ELIZA effect".

If you look at the examples in Appendix C, it seems that it's because ELIZA didn't match participants' current expectations of AI's behavior, and thus they thought it must be human:

Verdict: Human | Confidence: 50
Reason: hard to believe anyone would
purposefully make an AI this bad

Verdict: Human | Confidence: 70
Reason: doesn't respond to
adversarial attacks

Verdict: Human | Confidence: 72
Reason: Super erratic

Interestingly, this means that if you want to fool humans today, it might be more important to make an AI that's different from the ones in common use, rather than strictly better.

So yes, I agree the Turing Test tells us as much about human expectations as about AIs, and the researchers also acknowledge this.

I believe it's meant seriously in that being written in Rust it's more likely to attract contributions from people doing it in their free time.

I have only read the discussion when the rewrite was first proposed, but I believe that was mentioned as an advantage.
Consider yourself lucky. If I was to sell my house today I would probably get basically the same price I paid in 2017. All the money I've spend on renovations and improvements are 'lost'.

That being said, I love my house and I'm very happy I get to live here. So in the grand scheme of things I still consider buying this place a huge win.
Facebook has the eyeballs. I don't think it's relevant anymore
Eh, you can probably get very similar to fish with zsh + loads of plugins, but fish has lots of niceties out of the box (syntax highlighting, autosuggestion based on your directory). I've been using fish + starship with just a fzf plugin and it's got everything I need.

Check it out, it's effective with very little config
I do. I don't like PowerShell (and it took me years to realize it wasn't a diagnostic tool for power management), and I find bash for Windows to be ill fitting. I don't do a lot of stuff in the command line on Windows, so working like it has for decades is a plus.
it’s somewhat trivial to determine where to live to avoid children

given the discussions of how much more housing most cities need, i actually think this is not trivial at all. not wanting to live near children pretty much comes down to not living near people.

I wish the article mentioned the proportion of cries (or other metric such as time being held) answered by non-parents/older siblings. That's the more important figure than number of different caregivers (where 10 people each holding the baby for half an hour total would count).
That depends, did you buy it online? Then you can return the laptop basically no question asked for 14 days. There are some exceptions for custom orders, but I have never seen those enforced for anything not majorly custom build.

Offline you do not have this right, but a lot of retailers still have money back/voucher guarantees for 14 days.

Recently I have also used [ambr](https://github.com/dalance/amber) which can do both search (ambs) and replace (ambr) recursively in your codebase. The only problem as of yet is that it does not support globbing so I cannot filter on certain filetypes only.

DNS also has an overall message size limit of 65535 bytes, so if you try to create a max-size TXT record, the server will not be able to answer queries for it, nor transfer the zone to secondary servers.
The right to repair is the best way to overturn the current status quo and the industry’s rent seeking and planned obsolence models as well as removing true ownership form every device they sell. It’s going to be an uphill battle as the industry has a lot to lose so they’ll fight tooth and nail and water down every bill that we win as consumers.
Tbh, little, mostly convenience (best metaphor I can give is installing Sublime Text vs manually installing your vim and your own personal configs). By default it supports a bunch of interesting things, autocomplete, iteractive filesystem navigation, theming (I used oh-my-fish in the past, not sure how it is now), etc.

I like it, I would love to run it as my main shell, but I just do too much scripting for my own good to hop on this wagon.
And the lead in a lead acid battery is like 80% of the weight of that battery.

It doesn't matter how it "appears".

A disembodied paragraph that I've transmitted to you can appear to be intelligent or not, but it only really matters in the sense that you can ascribe that intellect to an agent.

The LLM isn't an agent and no intellect can be ascribed to it. It is a device actual intelligent agents have made and ascribing it intellect is equally as erroneous.
