It could solve the fantasy girlfriend problem. In todays age you are stuck buying expensive gifts off of an only fans page waiting for the next status update. VR could take over this market.

VR isn't going to steal the video game market or business conference. If VR was as open ended as second life I think people would find cool ways to interact. Fan expos, social clubs, esports, concerts and sex are natural fits
Don't forget that there was also no deodorant for the humans back then, I think it is easy to forget just how bad cities in general must have smelt back then. Plus coal fires, people smoking, people washing their bodies and their clothes irregularly.

Green Hills Software TimeMachine + History for C and C++: https://www.ghs.com/products/MULTI_IDE.html

No particularly good publicly visible documentation of the functionality, but it does that and is a publicly purchasable product.

They also had TimeMachine + PathAnalyzer from the early 2000s which was a time travel debug with visualization solution, but they were only about as integrated as most of the solutions you see floating around today.
It is not a good idea to assume that users are stupid, uncurious and can’t learn. The end-state of this philosophy is that citizen can’t get informed and can’t vote properly, we need to tell them who to vote for, and do it instead of them.

What differenciated the Middle Ages from the Enlightenment periods is the understanding that people aren’t that stupid, we don’t have to hide the Bible behind Latin, we can translate it to the local language and they’ll learn by themselves instead of going through clercs, and the same goes for law, physics, sciences and philosophy.

And we’re much better off with populaces able to make decisions for themselves (ie copy from the URL and drop one letter by mistake) than dumbing down everything to have control over them.
Knowing how to navigate to websites directly seems important for laypeople to understand.

There is point where dumbing down technology doesn't make it meaningfully more accessible but just serves to harm users. Hiding the URL bar is past that point.
It’s basically the same as any other app, there are some special permissions it has to integrate with the OS a bit better but nothing too interesting. Not sure what’s going on with Contacts but it might be a bug?
It arguably matters a lot less in this context - you don't need experience to see when Copilot has failed at Lean, the compiler will tell you anyway. But I'm not saying that understanding it yourself won't matter. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if the gap between him and more mortal mathematicians actually widens with the availability of those tools.
This is weird how in just 15 years Korea has turned from the most Internet-enabled country and into this backwards state.

That happened to Japan on even earlier timeframe and I wonder if China will follow that path - whether we are seeing the top Internet-enabled China right now (in fact, a few years back before they started cracking down on gaming)
I wish there was more information as to how this differs from or improves on Jax.

Flax+Jax+OpenXLA seems to finally be building some momentum so when a big player launches yet another competitor, the justification for it would be a good thing to see.

What was “not good enough” with Jax? Why did it make sense to put this human time and energy there instead of doubling down on Flax/Jax/OpenXLA? How will this move the needle at all against Nvidia?

I guess the fact that Google is pushing OpenXLA is making the other giants not want to truly lean in?

I don’t want 10 competing “choices”. I want one clear, open, competitor to Cuda that works on all the competing hardware.

If you ever end up in a software project where you're helping maintain 100s or 1000s of "diff the output file against the expected file" style regression tests, and some of the files you're diffing are CSV files or so on, beyondcompare has some features that can help a lot. e.g. it can do CSV-aware diffing & help you suppress irrelevant details such as row order (supposing you don't care about row order), or you can mark the timestamp column as irrelevant and ignore differences from that column only. Often files differ superficially as streams of bytes but might be equivalent at a higher level (in terms of the data encoded in the bytes of text) & beyond compare can help with some of this.

If you're in a team with this kind of semi-automated semi-manual regression testing workflow for changes, where there's human-in-loop engineering effort to review regression tests that indicate 'there's some difference between actual output and expected output' and decide if the new output is "OK" or not, the cost of a beyond compare license likely pays for itself in less than a month in terms of freeing up hours of engineering effort.

That said, you can often do better than this by investing engineering effort to build a custom domain-specific file normalizer / differ tool, to e.g. deserialize values, normalize them to eliminate irrelevant details, compare them for equivalence in a domain specific way, show actionable diffs when they differ, which might give a much better result than a high quality general-purpose tool beyond compare.

>Entertainment and the infrastructure that delivers it is an important pillar of soft power.

Might be a miscalculation if the goal is soft power as in cultural export (the so called Korean Wave). At least in the gaming/streaming space where Korea has been punching above it's weight in cultural impact since the StarCraft 2 days.

My guess is this policy results in Korean streamers on Korean sites streaming to Korean-only audiences. Reduces the worldwide crossover reach of Korean cultural export at least near and medium term.

Though YouTube is probably adequate for this if it can stick around...

Paradoxically, Curiosity and Passion for Learning can work against you:
- The time and effort put into continuously building tech skills has an opportunity cost on networking for jobs
- many positions seek for narrow and deep expertise of specialists, so if you are driven to broad life-long learning, being a generalist can dilute and blur the specifics.
Love the looooong furret in your header image! :D
> A classic example would be whether an API that munges filesystem paths should resolve symlinks or not -- if this is unspecified, then changing that behaviour is technically not a breaking change

Another example would be Ruby 2.4 changing String#upcase & friends from handling ASCII only to being unicode aware with a new argument to override and changing the default. Technically a breaking change but actually silently fixes a ton of bugs.
It only runs on Android for now, although I think a desktop version is on their roadmap. But also, Apple will refuse to register Google Voice numbers. You need a number tied to a real carrier account. You'd have to port your number into a carrier, do the registration, then port it back.
Uppercase letters have left padding, which is 1/3 of a whitespace char. I got used to it within a few minutes.

That padding is for helping with camelCase, but another opinion is that snake_case is better than camel. Better yet, some languages allow them in identifiers.

I don't disagree, but people might still assume it. If you serialise a Map in Java, some Map implementations will maintain insertion order for example.
Thanks for the clarification.

Yes I'm not in the US. Here in France (Europe?) pretty much everyone uses Whatsapp; it's not a problem to do normal text between Android and iOS, but I'm not aware of group chats that would be exclusive to iPhone users (I have never been offered/asked to join an iMessage group).
WWII was everyone destroying each other and the US came out on top because it still had an economy afterwards. That is a great example of the only winners being people who were an ocean away on a mostly peaceful continent.

The US has spent the last 50 years fighting wars. China has not. China has grown by approximately 1 US economy (a bit less accounting for the fact that their figures are bogus). What was the point of the last 50 years of war? Where is the upside from all the US's killing? Because as far as I can see, most of the upside seems to have been in Asia.
Given the API is similar to existing libraries, I’m curious as to whether the performance is better with this one. And if so, what’s stopping existing libraries from being as fast. IIRC, PyTorch at least has a Metal backend.

The README mentions unified memory, but what stops other frameworks from modeling copies as no-ops? I wonder if MLX makes larger architectural decisions based on GPU CPU communication being cheap.

I'm a fan of let. When you use it all possibilities are still alive when you are declaring. It could stay null or hold an object. The skies the limit. When we use const it limits the variable to whatever wishes I had during declaring but never leaving me room to change my mind. I can't reuse and recycle I always need something new. Pencils have erasers. No one likes liquid paper.

Maybe, but they also just announced RCS support: https://9to5mac.com/2023/11/16/apple-rcs-coming-to-iphone/ so maybe they've just decided that this is a good opportunity to take the charge opening things up.
We had universal chat applications & standards and interoperability in the 2000s. Pidgin (et al.) + libpurple allowed users to use a singular application for chat--even the proprietary protocols. We also had (& still have) XMPP from that era which many of the big boys like Google jumped on, killed, then jumped off (EEE?). Are we just repeating history (https://ploum.net/2023-06-23-how-to-kill-decentralised-netwo...)? There’s an XKCD about inventing yet a new standard despite us having good ones for decades…

This is underrated. I know it sounds unprofessional, but funness is also the reason Basecamp and Ruby on Rails was built in Ruby. Rails dominated web dev in the 2010s and tons of super successful startups were built on it. So while many folks like to scoff at engineers "playing with toys", a lot of good things we have now used to be toys (edit: Linux is another good example of this)
> And if users really want to circumvent it on the links they generate all they'd need to do is copy the regular URL instead of using the Share button.

At that point, why even replace it with something common? Just use the uniqe urls always.
Python Software Foundation seeks to contact Postmanlabs
> Why fork? we were unable to get ahold of the folks at postmanlabs to maintain the original project, and httpbin is used for other packages within the python ecosystem, such as pytest-httpbin which is in turn used by packages such as requests so we have forked this package. That means that httpbin.org is not actually backed by this repo, but the httpbin package is. Confusing right? Know anyone at postmanlabs? get in touch.
There will come a time when people say similar things about motor traffic in cities. So noisy! I can taste the fumes! How did people put up with this?
Good point. The $200,000 are calculated on a "share price" communicated internally but on Carta, the FMV is lower.

I'm just out of uni and still don't have a lot of money, so still pirating. However-

>the only thing I pirate is the occasional movie I want to watch that isn’t on Hulu, Netflix, Disney+, HBO Max or Amazon Prime Video.

You maintain 5 subscriptions and still have to pirate every now and again? I just watch whatever I want on plex+radarr/sonarr. That sounds exhausting.

I don't think I'll want to follow in your footsteps. Maybe I'll take out subscriptions for the things I really like, but I'm probably going to keep using pirated content for my actual consumption - its just a better experience at this point.
I kept using the app (with ads) because despite my hate for Google I still thought it was the right thing to do. And using YouTube in a browser on mobile felt clunky. But I noticed that identifier in the shared url too and that, plus the increase in ads, finally pushed me to ditch the official app and go with NewPipe. No more ads, no tracking in the URL, sharing the URL can be done with timestamp, when tapping a yt Link in another app, I get asked if I want to play it right away, enqueue it, play it in the background or play it in a little floating window.

Bc the whole "data-drive development" is fundamentally a pretty different programming paradigm. You can do similar things piece wise or with a library in other languages but the Clojure language and all your dependencies are structured around it in a cohesive way

You wouldn't be able to translate Clojure to another language line by line unless you brought in some framework or library
Trying to use Google Maps inside Germany due to poor mobile is a nightmare.

Trying to use Google Maps in France usually ends up being send down a dirt road or up a mountain.

Trying to use Google Maps to check my train the other day and I showed the next train and then a train 2 hours later, I had to put the depart time to 1 minute after the train leaving to see the next one.

I've said for years now the product owners of Google Maps are some of the most incompetent on the planet for the size of app they have.
So... the whole country sounds like a Samsung product.
Pretty sure SQLite comes with a JSON parser. JSON is a very simple format for which it is easy to write a parser for...
And that's perfectly fine to do.
Interestingly enough, they still run in Russia, where the market was probably the fraction of that of Korea, and now they neither run any ads nor have a painless paid subscription process.
>Mentality: SK Terran is a highly aggressive style that is intended to pressure the Zerg with a large number of MnM and Science Vessels. The ideal scenario is to split apart a big MnM ball and engage in guerrilla tactics around the map while irradiating key Zerg units such as Defilers, Ultras, and Lurkers.

I assumed this was a humorous analogy for this Korean policy but and it's going over my head (though I only know SC2) or maybe you meant to link SK Telecom https://liquipedia.net/starcraft/SK_Telecom_T1

>SK Telecom is a mobile telecommunications operator in South Korea that is a part of the SK Group, one of South Korea's largest conglomerates.
I’d say this is more of an argument against camelCase (which does indeed suck in terms of legibility, especially compared to the much_more_readable_snake_case).
It would be a good idea to read the blog post before making comments.

The result looks very interesting, and the blog post is well written (e.g., I did not know about the prior work re. Grover's algorithm and pendulum systems).

The blog post is also based on a recent FOCS paper, and the authors are reputable people in CS theory, if that convinces anyone to take a closer look.

The FMV is above the strike price but as I just said above it is also below the "share price" the company communicates internally. It is just 3 times the strike price.
Stoics would say the opposite. Being prepared for (but not ruminating on) a bad outcome makes dealing with it far, far easier than expecting it to go well and being surprised.

Um, yeah, you won't be able to model artists who don't follow a model (especially done so deliberately). As you say that is true of humans or computers alike. But it's not the problem anyone cares about and not what the parent comment intended.

Certainly a well trained model will be able to have incredible accuracy just with vocals alone. It will be able to identify Lady Gaga regardless of whether she is singing a new art pop track or old standard with Tony Bennett.
Protocols calcify when you don't control all the endpoints, consider the case in point, iMessage, it is seems like there is some security implications for spoofing iMessage for any random number, yet, apple's recourse is very limited if it can't update all the endpoints (devices).

The same is also true, say about AirDrop, if apple makes it "Open" and they have to make a breaking change for security or whatever reason, they can't feasibly even make an update available for non-apple devices let alone enforce it.

Now "Apple" has broken your non-apple device and along with it their reputation.

Open is good, but the cost is non-zero.
In that case the easy way out (and what plenty of Hackintosh/console hacking/emulation/etc. communities have done since the beginning of time) is to just download the file directly from Apple when the app starts up the first time or have an “import BOOT.bin here” button you use to activate the app. If someone can source the binary you need to get the app to work I think that’s DMCA legal.

Native Korean here, It's way worse here. It has been a decade since former telecom board members in the chief of Korea Communications Commission, which should prevent this in the first place.

The Netflix trial back in 2021 beforehand was due to SK Broadband (South Korean ISP) having lots of NTT bound traffic since they didn't join the Netflix's OpenConnect Program while requesting Netflix to co-locate in their server main content servers in (the SK Broadband). The results? Netflix found guilty for causing those traffics.

For your information, You can't establish an ISP in South Korea since the law forbids anyone other than "3 major telecom"s (SK Broadband, KT, LG U+). Regulations protecting telecoms and making sure CPs getting properly ripped off (Bonus point if you are not domestic business).
I wonder if that shows up in some error log of failed &si= lookups in their tracking database. Maybe some random engineer at Google will see it and be amused for about 10 seconds.
Which occurs with JSON as well (SQLite doesn't have a dedicated JSON nor JSONB type). The only actual cost would be the conversion between JSONB and JSON.

But when they scroll, it's closer to the brink,
Just echoes of the past, faster than you blink,
And online crowds act like they forgot about Digg.

The problem is that pro-nuclear advocates, like many on HN, always have a convincing explanation for why a particular nuclear contamination isn't as severe as it seems or isn't the fault of X. This was also the case with Fukushima. I'm not sure what kind of incident would be required for even a pro-nuclear HN user to admit, "Well, this was truly bad. Perhaps it wasn't a good idea. But, we ran the numbers, and this event was certainly not anticipated, much like nobody foresaw Chernobyl." But perhaps even 10x Chernobyls couldn't convince them otherwise.
