That's not an issue of modern sensibilities. 2D games look better than 3D games. This has been true continuously since people first started trying to release 3D games.

The fourth Monkey Island game used extremely ugly 3D graphics. There was no good reason. The 5th, much later, was licensed to Telltale and they used ugly 3D graphics. There was an improvement from 4 to 5, but neither game can be compared favorably to 3.

The point of 3D graphics is to make things nicer for the developers, not the players.
The trend is clear but the miss on the magnitude seems significant if it's the person making the prediction is asking for trust and billions of dollars.
Welcome to Sweden, where unions and corporations determine the rules, and the government tries to stay out of it.
I think there is also a simpler explanation: “I’m paying for this expensive drug to get better, and I’m getting better, so I’m eating and drinking healthier”. Basically reduced alcohol consumption could be a by-product of adherence to the healthier food diet.
Offering a person a path forward, working on becoming a more whole and complete person, is not toxic masculinity. It applies to every person no matter the gender, any any person continuing to blame everybody else for their own short comings will eventually see themself become excludes by people with the ability to set healthy boundaries. This is basic social dynamics that has nothing to do with genders.
> Code formatting takes a lot of time

It doesn't, really. On larger projects, you read much more code than you write.

Formatting well is not something complex - I basically just format with WebStorm, and only tweak that (mostly line breaks). People (including me) are going to read that code many times, I think it's worth the little effort.

On the opposite, I often have to work hard to make Prettier produce readable code. Like, "how do I need to write this code, so Prettier doesn't mess it up?", which is often difficult / frustrating.
It looks like the automation api was introduced in 2021. (!!!)

> in essence, morality plays.

A lot of TV series of the time were... A-Team, Knight Rider, MacGeyver.The difference was characters looking back at our generations, shaking heads how stupid and immature we behaved in our times. TNG delivered a utopy in a convincing and exciting way.

> themes from the Bible and Graeco-Roman mythology

That's true for a lot of stories/saga: Star Wars, LOTR, GoT etc.You have a hero with doubts, going on a journey to save something, living through adventures. (Nicely explained in Joseph Campbell's "The hero with a thousand faces")

Until today, I haven't found anything similar, that gave an idea of a better future for mankind that's achievable and explained without lecturing.

Oh, and unconnected short story episodes are gone. I miss that.

>How fast would the Acela have to be for it to justify the price you'd have to charge to ever come close to paying back the cost to add a whole dedicated train line between Boston and Washington DC?

No faster than it already is, I would think. The experience is SO much nicer than taking an airplane that a little extra time is worth it. Don't forget how much time is wasted in airplanes just getting to and from the airports and waiting for security checks and sitting on the tarmac waiting to taxi. Trains travel directly between city centers with almost no waiting time.

The Acela doesn't really need to be much faster, though it'd be nice; it just needs to be cheaper and more frequent.
Neovim's tree-sitter integration is so clean. I'd like to see Emacs develop a better api for injecting multiple parsers, like neovim's `#set!` queries. Currently, I've found multi-parser support to be pretty much unusable in Emacs.
It does have a mobile version for iOS, which is notable on its own because is supports (some) Chrome and Firefox extensions on mobile. It suffers similar beta-y bugs as the desktop version though. Personally I find it worth it to have uBO on my iPhone.
Yes, there's a mobile app for iOS (on the app store), and iCloud based sync between desktop and mobile.
No. This is done by a company without a real security team. Compare that to Google, with one of the best security teams in the world.
Don't get me wrong here. What I said is that there are multiple ways in which one can react to this crisis, one of those ways is emotional and automatic. I warned against the fact that this way rarely is the best response long term, especially not in military conflicts. That does not mean that I don't understand the urge to do so.

The systemic dynamic of this conflict is well understood and the fact that Hamas just happens to attack before a major diplomatic breakthrough between Israel and the Saudis is very likely no accident.

On the Gaza strip: Look at a satellite picture of it and remember that there are two million people there, half of which are below 18, of those 74 percent have no job. Roughly half of the population is in poverty. Hamas has been elected with a anti-corruption-agenda in 2014, roughly a decade ago. Our jobless 18 year old was 4 when that happened. You remember who was in power when you where four?

Maybe you don't know but anti-Hamas protests in Gaza are a thing (as one would expect giving the living conditions). They are also brutally beaten down by Hamas as one would equally expect:

https://www.timesofisrael.com/protests-against-hamas-reemerg...

https://apnews.com/article/gaza-hamas-demonstration-israel-b...

Now we are again in a conflict with its own dynamics, where Israel is realiant on international support and Hamas is reliant on building anger in Palestinanand the rest of the arab worls against the Israelis (instead of anger against them for doing a shitty job at governing/treating their citizens bad). If Israel goes in with the flaming sword, they will produce exactly that anger in the rest of the region, which might be even more dangerous than the anger of the Palestinians. If one considers that Hamas has been originally funded by Israel (https://theintercept.com/2018/02/19/hamas-israel-palestine-c...) a good strategy would be to:

- not retaliate harshly, but only in very pointed actions, this way Hamas stays the bad terrorists and Israel retains the international support it needs

- try to flare up resentment of the palestinian population against their betters and avoid things that allow a simple redirection of that anger towards Isreal

- fund existing pro democratic/anti-Hamas movements, help with civil infrastructure, again to guide the resentment at Hamas

- expand the partnership with surrounding arab countries, maybe even bring them on board to help with Gaza as a gesture of good will (this is a stopgap against other arab countries solidarizing with Hamas).

So essentially Israel profits if all arab entities are seperated from Hamas with their own interests, while Hamas profits if it is a simple jews against arabs-conflict.

Now the problem with all of these is, that to a understandably traumatized Israeli public that proposal must feel downright absurd and any government that had to implement it might not survive the next election. (My guess is that a part of military Israel understands basic gametheory dynamic as well, which is why we don't have stronger action).
To me, old fashioned means sticking to semantic principles and separation of concerns.

> The boom bust cycle is made worse by government policies

Government meddling does make it worse. Governments fighting the business cycle is perverted and should not be the task of government. Paul Volker rediscovered the business cycle and wrote a book about it.

Interest rates naturally vary across time, space, lenders, and borrowers. Leave rates to the free market and have government enforce anti-discrimination.
I love reading about papers like these. They raise hopes that novel model architectures might reduce the need for computational resources to train powerful models, which would help lower the barrier of entry.

I think there is a positive correlation between chess ability and intelligence, but being a world-class chess player doesn't indicate having "world-class intelligence".

The problem is that the null hypothesis was that Polgar sisters will be highly intelligent, because their parents were highly intelligent. But we don't have indications that they would excel in any other intellectual field apart from chess.
Nobody is asking San Francisco alone to do anything.

Only three Bay Area jurisdictions (of 109) were ready by the Jan 31 deadline this year. Thirty-four failed to even get drafts in by the earlier deadline. By April the number of jurisdictions in compliance rose to… sixteen.

And yet, here we are discussing an article about San Francisco while completely ignoring the regional picture. San Francisco has an overall population density of ~17,000 people/sq mi, Brisbane 1,600. Atherton? Under 1,500. So, yes, focusing on San Francisco as HN seems wont to do is utterly ridiculous.

In my country if somebody died with COVID, then COVID was found as the reason of death. Hospitals had additional bonuses for writing COVID into reason of death. Therefore I read such statistics with a grain of salt.
Can confirm what the other poster said - it only affects the desire for food and food-related items.

It is absolutely amazing. Before I was basically always hungry, even right after a big meal that left the stomach physically full, the thought of "eh, maybe more food?" was in the back of my mind. Now it's not there and even a small portion makes me feel full.

If anything, the weight loss has made me feel so much better that I have more energy to work on other goals, it definitely hasn't stopped desire for sex or money or success.

The article uses a raspberry pi zero to be pendantic, but it seems to support any pi.

I'm happy that the GDPR already forced Facebook to offer a no-personalized-ads option, even though I don't really trust them that they don't keep collecting your data for when you cancel the subscription.

Max Schrems: “Fundamental rights are usually available to everyone. How many people would still exercise their right to vote if they had to pay € 250 to do so? There were times when fundamental rights were reserved for the rich. It seems Meta wants to take us back for more than a hundred years.”

Is Facebook a fundamental right?
Sure, but it’s a PITA to take because absorption is bad. Take it on an empty stomach with exactly the right amount of liquid, and then nothing else in your stomach for 40m, and the gastrointestinal side effects are worse. I’m looking into using this for maintenance as I’ll be travelling a lot, but it’s much more of a hassle than the self-injecting needles

Germany, while it has historically been a mixture of public and private insurances (mostly due to state servants, clergy and entrepreneurs not being allowed in the public system [2]), has about 90% of its population covered by the public insurance [3] and there's regular discussions on getting rid of private insurances entirely - about once every year or two.

Ugh, it's not about LLMs. Us "doomers" don't know if you can make an intelligent system with a sufficiently advanced LLM as the core component. We mostly don't think an LLM that's not part of a bigger system with appropriate feedback loop and storage systems is likely to be an X-risk.

I’m pretty sure there is a setting in Word that allows you to turn off the automatic conversion of quotes. And I think that defaulting to performing the replacement is sane, as most people do just type “"” whenever they need any quotation mark and cases where “curly” quotation marks are appropriate are much more common than straight-quote cases outside of tech-related contexts.

This basis is our limited data set: we have only 1 example of human level intelligence, so it's natural to assume there's something unique, or at least significant about the way it works.
“This complexity leads to brittle architectures, where seemingly minor changes can significantly reduce training speed, or render models untrainable.”

I am by no means an expert and I can’t verify the authors’ claims about reduced speed and untrainability, but this reflects an impression I’ve been having on the papers I read and review. The field of ML research is moving so fast that people don’t even take time anymore to explain the design decisions behind their architectures. It’s basically “we got nice results, and here is the architecture of the model” (proceeds to show a figure with a hundred coloured blocks connected together in some seemingly random complex way).

It used to be that such a thing would get backlash from reviewers, and they would require you to actually justify the design. I don’t see that anymore. The problem with this for me is that we fail to build a nice, crisp understanding of the effects of each design decision in the final outcomes, which hurts the actual “science” of it. It also opens up the field for bogus and unreproducible claims.

But at least other people are picking up on the thread and doing that in follow-up papers, which is good.

Not a fundamental right, but a fundamental part of many peoples lives, at least here in Norway. Do you have children in school? Part of a local club? And so forth.

In many situations, there are no alternatives if you want to participate in society. This is of course outrageous, but non the less a reality. I have managed to stay of Metas products since 2018, but I do not have children :)
It’s even worse. For example 4K blu-ray cannot be played on new laptops no matter what. Also 4K is not supported by Netflix, Disney+, Prime video, HBO Max, etc on PCs. So I can only watch them if I “purchase” them on YouTube, Amazon, etc to stream them. Hell no.

To be fair, Banjo-Kazooie on the GBA is effectively a completely different game. It bears only a passing resemblance to the N64 games, and is 2-D. The 360 port came ten years later, and the significant effort needed to do so was justified by the game's proven appeal.
I do like Web Push Notifications.

But the way chrome implemented them on Windows makes them the perfect tool for social engineering, sneaking advertisement into windows and other malicious use cases.

Worse the controls for disabling them had been a complete UX nightmare last time I took a look at it (both in FF and Chrome; nightmare as in inexperienced users will have issues doing so) making it even more perfect for abuse.

And instead of fixing that Google decided to make it semi unusable for many proper use-cases (and FF didn't fix that either).

To top that off last time I tried to use them they didn't work on Firefox no idea if that was my firewall, uBlock, Firefox or the websites fault.
