What you think of as “the classical theories about capitalism” are after-the-fact rationalizations which reflect neither the motivation for the development of capitalism (class struggle between the mercantile class and the feudal aristocracy) nor its actual operation in the real world, and which were developed defensively in response to the original (and critical) theory about capitalism-as-an-existing-system, which absolutely does not cease to hold in the presence of monopoly, or view the emergence and maintenance of such a condition as aberrant.
Pricing seems to be $10/mo or $100/yr.

Personally I find that a bit steep when I'm already paying $100/yr for the Rider IDE (multi year concurrent discounted rate). Commercial pricing is $250/yr+ for just the IDE.

I know that's about the same as Github Copilot, but the downside to Jetbrains is if I switch to another IDE to get AI features (ie VSCode), then I'll stop paying their IDE subscription as well.

Edit: It also doesn't seem like the free trial is available to an individual subscription holder, only commercial subscriptions.

I think your comment comes after reading this line:

> - targeted users(s) following “foo” on X app

It seems "X app" means just any placeholder app (not the new Twitter rebrand), although I might be wrong.
>Lots of games (specifically indie games) have no DRM at all, you can freely copy to some other storage and play it later.

I doubt your "lots" claim, it is ambiguous, do you maybe mean a very few ?
I found this
>Total number of DRM-free games: 1,075 out of 41,147 games in total.

This is my source, if it is wrong let me know https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/List_of_DRM-free_games_on_...

At least Valve games seem to be DRM free
Pro is approximately in the middle between GPT 3.5 and GPT 4 on four measures (MMLU, BIG-Bench-Hard, Natural2Cod, DROP), it is closer to 3.5 on two (MATH, Hellaswag), and closer to four on the remaining two (GSM8K, HumanEval). Two one way, two the other way, and four in the middle.

So it's a split almost right down the middle, if anything closer to 4, at least if you assume the benchmarks to be of equal significance.
I'm fine with digital content being ephemeral, if it is priced appropriately. I'm talking about $1 per game/movie if there is a possibility that I will lose access to it through no fault of my own, and I don't get access to the files

When I looked into it while starting a new project about a year ago, Axum seemed like the framework with the most inertia. I think there was some concern a year or two back about whether Actix would continue to be maintained, but it looks healthy now.

They're probably both fine choices, I chose Axum because the middleware architecture was easier to grok and at the time I felt that staying under the tokio umbrella would be safer long term.
Despite the legal system depending almost exclusively on analogies like this when it comes to tech, I feel that I have read very few legal opinions that make them.
Why: because otherwise the service, which is supposed to be private, is no longer private.

I dunno how it would work, maybe something like a third-party push? Why does everything have to be channeled through central service? A service like Signal could operate its own push channel.
This is interesting in that it implies that catching up is possible if you have enough data, engineers and compute. This also potentially implies that adjacent players such as Nvidia could gain an edge long term because they are a leader in one of the three.
And now they'll be improving Bard. They still have the researchers, the ability to put it in everyone's faces, and the best infra for when cost becomes a factor.
At this point any “both sides are the same” argument should be seen as either incredibly misguided or intentionally malicious.

Look for representatives who represent more or at least some of our actual interests.

> In some cases there are 70% of migrants neither working nor speaking the country's native language. They're poor people and responsible for a disproportionate percentage of crimes. <

I suspect that you are not really familiar with much of legal migrants. Can you cite some real numbers(that is not coming from Sweden) about this?

Also, migrants are usually pretty well educated and rich people if they arrived through legal channels because there are high bars for them.

Asylum seekers and war refugees are just traumatized people who escaped from immensely bad zones and it will take some time for them to integrate and adapt, and many are suffering from shattered mental health. It takes years to even recover from basic PTSD with adequate therapy and support from one's own family.

Also on my side of EU,most trouble maker immigrants are usually illegal ones sheltered by local mafia/gangs trafficking them.

State has numerous initiatives to integrate them and introducing constant changes to support them, but for adults it takes some time to adapt, recover, integrate, find proper communities because most of them have left or lost their families.

It is sad to see my fellow people play right into right-wing sentiments that 80-90% immigrants are criminals or whatever and enjoying our social benefits. Nothing could be far from the truth, except for Ukrain war refugees, most migrants(except asylum seekers) have any access to state money. Of course, no one asks for real statistics or numbers because everyone is miffed with war and inflation, but we seek someone to blame and what else better than the people we don't even know about?

P.S. I volunteered in some immigrant shelters until last year and have many immigrant colleagues at work, hence I believe that I have slightly better concept of the matter than average HN person from EU ;)
Correct, we need to be able to filter to properly unencrypt notifications and pass them on as a local notification.
This is a really negative take. They could also add hostile terms of service at other times or do hostile things. It's about cost and marketing.

Windows N+1 will share a majority of code with Windows N. Microsoft would now have to maintain two copies of the code N and N+1. This is added cost.

Alternatively Windows could do continuous releases, but this is less fun to market, and users might not like big changes happening many times a year instead of all at once, etc. There are also compatibility challenges for this since behaviors are tagged to such specific versions.
Luminus uses Ring.
I mean what's better? To say "Well if you try you might get what you want..." or to go, "Yeah you're right it's hopeless and you are stuck..."
Let's do a reality check here.

* "Gemini" is an extremely common word.

* The meaning of the dictionary word "Gemini" (a constellation in the zodiac, related to twins) is unrelated to either web protocols or AI.

* The Gemini protocol is new and rather confidential.

Do we agree on that?
Texas Bank Overdraws Its Own Accounts After Messy Tech Update
I just meant there are a zillion different known ways of optimizing JSON, that maybe could be applied here. But maybe they already optimized it to the degree they're willing and wanted a binary format
The article links to a page with this video embedded in it, which I found very helpful. I'm not in this field and this was the first time I'd heard of Gaussian splatting; the original article sort of assumes you're not a rando coming to the page from Hacker News, that you are sold on the idea already, and use it so much that you need to worry about optimization.

Utility scale batteries Someplace outside the city. It doesn't really gain much to put them in a neighborhood and costs a lot more. When you are running on battery you need oversized inverters as you need to cover the worst case of the whole neighborhood. The more area your battery covers the less overbuilding you need because the closer you are to average. House scale battery works better (but has obvious safety issues) because if there is a power outage most people can shed a lot of load without discomfort and thus get by with must smaller batteries.
It’s for this reason that I only rent on Amazon. ˜$2-$5 feels pretty reasonable to me, and I know I’m not owning it. I generally don’t buy any content with DRM in it, since I know I haven’t really purchased it. It doesn’t seem like consumers are very interested actual digital ownership, and smartphones tend to push the boundary even further here. It’s not impossible to put your own digital files on a smart phone and view them, but it seems significantly more difficult and annoying than doing the same on a personal computer. I believe smart phones and embedded devices (smart TVs, Rokus, etc) are doing a lot to set the “rental-only” expectation with consumers. Many consumers may have never experienced a real digital alternative to “rental-only."
Microsoft and Google have traded places in this regard.
Kinda lame this isn't included in the "All Products Pack"
Dropping support for old versions is standard. As long as the window of support is sufficiently long it is a fine decision overall.

The question is can Microsoft extend that support for a cost?

Note they did provide a decade of updates.
"people not knowing the law" can be a symptom of bureaucracy though. How many pages of law do you think exist to open a bagel shop or add a room to your house in SFO?
Yeah, i not saying it was intentional (misleading shareholders would be the worse crime here). Having these things in the training data without knowing due to how vast the dataset is is the issue.
Absolutely and confidently incorrect. Local notification settings have no bearing on this metadata, which is generated, collected and stored with your consent by using Apple/Google app stores.
Network hardware vendors have been doing it for years, more money for Microsoft I guess.
Another way to incentivize companies to stop relying on specific OS versions is to stop making every successive version ever more user-hostile and jammed with adware, spyware, and dark patterns.

If my name were John and I moved to Brazil should I be mad if people call me Joao, or if Sebastian, Sebastiao?

It’s no big deal.

There was a Mexican dude whose parents named him Joe, but they pronounced it something close to /Dzoe’/, so neither /Dzou/ nor /Xoe/. I think he was better off going by Joe over here.
It is possible for your disk and backups to break, or to be stolen, etc. But it’s just an unfortunate thing that can happen to anything you own. It’s different from the corporation taking away the rights of millions of people just because a licence ran out.

Warranties don't last forever.

If you find a manufacturer defect in a five year old item that has a two year warranty they don't have to fix it. It doesn't matter if it was their fault they don't need to maintain it forever.
Okay, wo, that’s freaky.

I’m a pencil fan insofar as when I use one, it’s probably for something semi-important, like a to-do list. Otherwise it goes into my phone, or computer, or cloud.

So I like to use really good pencils for such things, and Blackwings are my favorite. The California incense cedar smells great when you sharpen them, and the soft (but not too soft) graphite makes nice, dark lines and text.

I feel that web frameworks should be flexible enough that the CI/CD system can put things like secrets into files without worrying about the particular framework that's consuming them. If you don't write the secret service in the web framework, you have to write the secret manager in CI/CD to convert formats or what have you. Something I dislike about spring boot is how spring-y everything has to be.
This is hilarious for anyone who knows the area:

"The best way to get from Lake of the Clouds Hut to Madison Springs Hut in the White Mountains is to hike along the Mt. Washington Auto Road. The distance is 3.7 miles and it should take about 16 minutes."

What it looks like it's doing is actually giving you the driving directions from the nearest road point to one hut to the nearest road point to the other hut.

An earlier version actually did give hiking directions but they were hilariously wrong even when you tried to correct it.

That said, I did ask a couple historical tech questions and they seemed better than previously--and it even pushed back on the first one I asked because it wanted me to be more specific. Which was very reasonable; it wasn't really a trick question but it's one you could take in multiple directions.
Yes? Is that such a bad thing? Is this trying to say there is no value in learning something so low level. Exploration leads to learning, and learning leads to innovation. Perhaps Hackerman will go on to create the greatest image encoding library for images so that they can easily scale from 5x5 to 25x25 or more and fit in the same space as the 5x5. Who knows.
Hey, I'm part of the Wing team, Winglang is a general purpose programming language, not a framework, so there are less limitations on how far it can take the development experience. It let's developers work at a higher level of abstraction, is fully extensible and is cloud and provisioning engine agnostic.
It comes with a local cloud simulator, allowing you to get instant feedback and enjoy very short iteration cycles.
It also comes with a visualisation console to interact with the local app and debug and test it.
> implies native born americans are dramatically under represented.

Two things:

1. I see few Native Americans at graduate levels in technical fields. Maybe because the American culture, unlike Eastern countries, does not encourage students to go to college? Maybe because there are way more jobs out there that don't require that high-ed degrees? Maybe because Americans already live in the US whereas for a typical Chinese/Indian person, getting a Ph.D. is a ticket to come to the US?

2. DEI policies in the industry and academia sometimes lead to over-presentation of those nationalities (speaking as a foreign national myself). Companies can treat an H1B visa holder any way they want because the visa holder wouldn't get another job if they got fired, but the comapny can't behave like that towards a native American.

They’re not just a “doozy” they’re downright fascist authoritarian. Even the positive positives are infringements.
It looks like they tried to push it out ASAP? Gemini Ultra is the largest model and it usually takes several months to train such, especially if you want to enable more efficient inference which seems to be one of its goals. My guess is that the Ultra model very likely finished its training pretty recently so it didn't have a much time to validate or further fine-tune. Don't know the contexts though...
From the FAQ it state

> Why is AI Assistant not available in some countries?
Access to the JetBrains AI service is currently restricted to the territories where the OpenAI service is available. You can check the full list of territories here.

But earlier they say that they are using codey and Vertex AI from google

> We are excited to partner with JetBrains and provide our advanced coding models for use in JetBrains AI. By integrating with Codey and Vertex AI, JetBrains can significantly improve developer experiences with AI-powered code completion, debugging, and generative explanations to accelerate every stage of the software development lifecycle.

And also they mention another quote that mention using openai models

> It’s remarkable to see JetBrains integrate the power of OpenAI models into the daily workflow of developers. By Infusing JetBrains’ AI Assistant with our models’ advanced reasoning capabilities, developer productivity can be greatly enhanced across a range of tasks such as code comprehension and authoring.

So are they combining the models or fine tuned something out of them specifically for their products? Who knows.
Perhaps (and hopefully) you’re being sarcastic with that dismissal, since assuming that someone is being second-order sarcastic is a bit too much.
If you think eval numbers mean a model is close to 4, then you clearly haven't been scarred by the legions of open source models which claim 4-level evals but clearly struggle to actually perform challenging work as soon as you start testing

Perhaps Gemini is different and Google has tapped into their own OpenAI-like secret sauce, but I'm not holding my breath

I'm not so sure you get the point. The point of a wiki is not that anyone can edit it. That's merely a property, a method to accomplish something.

The wiki is for something. That something is to build an interrelated foundation of references and facts. That anyone can edit is merely a means to get there. The misuse of editing at least-worst, impedes creating that hyperlinked mass of information.

And no, you have the spammer thing backward, entirely. That anyone can send something to someone else is a merely a property of email. The point of email is communication that people want. And so the misuse of "sending a message to anybody" is that it can get in the way of communication people do want.

You're arguing against a point that wasn't being made. I expect an accurate answer using the tools it has available to it. I don't care what details are trained in and which parts are Internet-accessible as long as it gets to the right answer with a user-friendly UX.

The issue is that it failed to employ chain-of-reasoning. It knows who "it" is - its initial seed prompt tells it is Bard. Therefore, asking it, "Are you running Gemini Pro?" should be ~equivalent to "Is Bard running Gemini Pro?" but it interpreted one of those as having such ambiguity it couldn't answer.

Whether it needed to search the Internet or not for the answer is irrelevant.
