Romero recently released a book, _Doom Guy: Life in First Person_, if you'd like a long-form answer to that question.

Other commenters give more substantial answers, but I can vouch for the book as having a lot of history, clearly being written by Romero himself, and having a lot of self-reflection on the questions you're asking.

Here's some additional HN discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37649594
Large carnivores are kind of the pricey boondoggles of evolution. They work, they are successful, but they're balanced on a knifes edge. Every step a large carnivore takes consumes vastly more energy than it would cost a smaller animal. It is all too possible for such a creature to expend more energy pursuing small prey than it would get back. That is why lions don't hunt small game- they'll scavenge small game by driving off smaller carnivores from their kills, and they certainly won't turn down eggs if they find any, but they will not pursue prey beneath a certain size. Imagine trying to catch a rat with your hands- exhausting work, and the rat isn't much food

So much was revealed in the European Parliament's ECHELON report back in 2000 that I found it hard to understand why Snowden made the big splash that he did. It all seemed pretty old hat to me.
That assumes that only one part of the PDF, which fits in the context window, is relevant to the prompt, which seems like a fairly big assumption.
What helped me go from being completely unable to design a simple form to doing okay looking UI (not great yet) was simply to learn to draw. The best UX designers I've had the occasion to work with came from art school backgrounds, so I think there's definitely something to it.

After grinding drawing for a while, it becomes very easy to simply see what works (and what you like) in other software UI-wise, and re-use that on your own projects.

One recommendation I have is not to try to over-focus on the design of single components (ie. buttons or form inputs). It is fine to reuse a lib for that. What's really going to make the difference is how you organize them across the page, and the colors you pick.

Edit: since I haven't really mentioned any courses: proko.com has great drawing courses. For books, check out Andrew Loomis' Fun with a pencil and Betty Edwards's Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain.

I have realised just how meaningless valuations now are. As much as we use them as a marker of success, you can find someone to write the higher valuation ticket when it suits their agenda too e.g the markup, the status signal, or just getting the deal done ahead of your more rationale competitors in the investment landscape. Now that's not to say Mistral isn't a valuable company or that they aren't doing good work. It's just valuation markers are meaningless and most of this capital raise in the AI space is about offsetting the cloud/GPU spend. Might get downvoted to death but watching valuation news feels like no news.
How many of those are really left anyway but yeah the pr is bad
Sure, no problem :)

Solar is definitely the big success story of my lifetime, one of the areas where the need for more generation, the need to decarbonize, AND the economics actually align.
It's actually safer for new airplane types to have flying characteristics like the previous types. There have been many accidents where a situation happened and the pilot did the right thing for the previous airplane he flew, but was the wrong thing for the one he was currently flying.

Most of what was written about the MAX crashes in the mass media is utter garbage and misinformation. No surprise there, as journalists have zero expertise in how airplanes work.

Both crashes could have been easily averted if the crews had followed well-known procedures. There was also nothing wrong with the aerodynamics of the MAX, nor the concept of the MCAS system. The flaw was in the way the MCAS system was implemented, and the way the pilots responded to it.

For example, rarely mentioned is the third MAX incident, where the airplane continued normally to their destination. The crew simply turned off the stab trim system.

BTW, I had a nice conversation with a 737 pilot a few months ago. He told me what I had already concluded - the crashed crews did not follow the procedures. I've also had unsolicited emails from pilots who told me what I'd written about it was true.
I've read dozens of Admiral Cloudberg articles, and when you do so you notice a pattern: in old aviation crashes, a single error or a single part failure usually took down a plane with tens of dead bodies. Also the story of how and why the sterile flight deck started in response to some crashes where the pilots were distracted talking. In modern aviation accidents, it seems very unlikely. Even with an engine exploding, the pieces ripping half the cables, a wing, the fuel reservoir, hydraulics, and the airplane is still almost perfectly flyable and landable. Do the same to any car, were nothing is redundant, and lets see how well it performs.

The beauty of it is that everyone in aviation seems eager to learn and build on errors. This event prompted new actions that makes future flying even safer, despite having no victims.
I'm not particularly productive in python. The code gets shat out faster but it's a comparatively weak language for capital-P Programming — lack of types means repeating and checking yourself a lot.
Big office and lots of jobs in UK. And with complex tax setups these days I wasn’t sure.
>Elected officials rely on their police departments — which typically look to save money — to make the arrangements, and they give perfunctory approval with little or no discussion.

My personal pet theory is that a lot of bullshit coming out of police departments is specifically due to a lack of funding. Giving a loose cannon cop access to guns and the legitimacy of the state is cheap, signals authority, and does nothing helpful. Actually doing your responsibility to protect the community is expensive and signals little.

This is a microcosm of that: police want the guns to go away and become someone else's problem, but they don't want to pay for disposal, so intermediaries like Gunbusters do shit like this. Politicians get to paint a rosy picture to low-information voters.

Anyway, REFUND THE POLICE!
notable that this was strongly opposed by the UK government, which is using the child safety argument for the right of security and police services to access private messages
Contrast is terrible on the body text, especially compared to those brightly coloured highlighted sections... It's like he's shining a torch in my face while asking me to read grey chalk on a blackboard in a darkened room.

There are big weird gaps everywhere, some of them have mouseovers which change my mouse cursor into something intended to be amusing but have no link.

The "This will/won't work if..." items seem to be links but clicking them just jumps me back to the top of the page.

The weird animation under "Pro", no idea what that's supposed to be telling me.

Company logos at the top. Used with permission, I wonder? They have mouseovers but don't seem to be links.

"5-star rating"? Really? Who from? I need more information for that to be remotely useful, should be a link. Let's say my HN post has a 5-star rating too * * * * *.

As a "beautiful and functional interface" I'm afraid the web page scores a 0/2, for me.
Its not clear the point you are making here.

If you are saying "I should not undergo KYC", then I'm afraid that boat sailed a long time ago. Be realistic. It is a necessary burden for both the customer and the provider.

If you are saying "don't scan my face", then sadly you also have to be realistic because sadly $bad_guys have made "liveness" tests a necessity.

Zero knowledge proofs might (eventually) be an option for the document-upload side, but is unlikely to ever be a solution to the "liveness" side.

Where are the popular personalities telling people to not use VPNs? I swear sometimes I theorize about gov agencies using people to spread insecurities like that.

VPN providers that are run by reputable people/orgs and make security promises are liable to lawsuits and criminal prosecution if they sniff your traffic or sell info about you, unlike ISPs complying with gov requests/partnerships and who want another revenue stream by selling your info to the highest bidder with no specific privacy guarantees.
This only is defensible for closed models though.

The default settings of many Linux distros don't enable major security features. For example, on Arch Linux, microcode updates must be configured separately and most users likely skipped that step.

Also, X11 has really poor separation between processes. Any desktop application running in Xorg can keylog all user inputs.

It is possible to build a secure Linux installation but it requires a lot of careful OS knowledge and the discipline to only use a small set of software with established provenance. And probably disabling Javascript.
In 2006, Mark Klein working for AT&T leaked it. It was in the news.

treesitter gives us a uniform interface to parse and manipulate code, which is awe-inspiring work. I wish tree-sitter could have more contributors to the core library. It still has a lot of improvement space.

Say, like performance. tree-sitter's initial parsing speed can be easily beaten by a carefully hand-crafted parser. Tree-sitter, written in C, has a similar JavaScript parsing speed as Babel, a JS-based parser. See the benchmark https://dev.to/herrington_darkholme/benchmark-typescript-par...
Anyone else think Nvidia giving companies money to spend on Nvidia hardware at very high profit margin is a dubious valuation scheme?

"We believe they formed as a result of repeated warming periods. These periods impacted hydrate in the deep ocean and the released methane migrated up to 40km towards the continent, to be vented beyond the shallowest hydrate deposits."

So we're talking a geological process, on a geological timescale, on one hand.

On the other hand, I've always heard that water is densest at 4C, which is probably the temperature at the bottom of any ocean, regardless of the warmth of surface water (which is what has been in the news).

So, what's up with the headline? I read the whole piece, and it still doesn't gibe.
Good take - didn't think about it in that context - encryption could happen on a per-file basis perhaps?

That would allow for enough clarity together with a well-written commit message and description, in my opinion.
My point is it's generally assumed that it's possible that humans can live on Mars and the Moon. My assumption is that surviving on an overly heated Earth is orders of magnitude easier, not that moving to Mars is the answer.
I've found that the longer context windows don't seem to be a linear improvement in responses though. It's like the longer the context window, the quality of the response is perhaps broader, but less sharp or accurate. I've been using GPT4-turbo with the longer context window for coding tasks but it doesn't seem to have improved the responses as much as you would think, it seems to be more "distracted" now, which perhaps makes some intuitive sense.

I can give gpt4-turbo many full code files to try and solve a complex coding task but despite the larger window it seems to fail more often or ignore parts of the context window or just doesn't really answer the question.
That’s a good (if frustrating) clarification - I was immediately thinking, well they can’t be all that inert if they’re having an effect!
Houston is way better designed to be a tech hub for several reasons:

1. It's way bigger than Austin

2. It's international airport is a key hub for United and has an expansive route network, including routes to China

3. It's road network has significantly more capacity,

4. It has much better suburban infrastructure, and those suburbs are growing rapidly, and

5. Surprisingly its public transit is better!

Yeah, it's hot and swampy in the summer months, but you're probably inside something air conditioned anyway.

Houston beats Austin hands down every day of the week for me.
Really? I went to my local beach this year. It was exactly the same as it was 40 years ago.
You cannot with normal tools as writing a 0 to the SSD does not guarantee it overwrites the 0 you want. At best it does, at worst it writes the 0 somewhere else and remaps the bit (or whatever its physical storage thing is).

There must logically be a lot of negative feedback too, or else every time the earth warmed, and there have been a lot of those, it would have spiraled out of control.
As a citizen I hope not. In the last 10-15 years the whole coast and islands got overbuilt with local and foreign owned buildings. The construction prices multiplied because of the difference in buying power. Why would a construction company work for a local investor for X amount of money if they can work for a German investor for multiples of X?

So a lot of young people emigrated as they got priced out of everything, while in "exchange" we got a bunch of rich, retired Germans and Austrians living in their newly build houses next to the sea for 3 months in a year (if that). Imagine living in Florida all your life and a bunch of very rich people from different country start buying properties and rising prices all over. How would you feel about that?

Its even worse because the local goverments usually incentivise this kind of "behaviour" with huge investments in tourism while completely neglecting their local population speeding up the whole process.
Ok, here it is fully spelled out: your argument about unintentionally desecrating graves is completely irrelevant to a question of intentionally desecrating graves.
I consider this kind of reporting (and underlying detection by companies capitalizing on supply chain security fears) borderline irresponsible: anybody can upload a package to a public index, by design, and the presence of a blatantly maliciously package doesn’t imply any degree of actual download, use of, or compromise via it.

Removing malware from the index is a laudable goal, but the language of threats, attacks, thefts, etc. is essentially unsubstantiated: there’s no evidence that this goes beyond opportunistic, untargeted script kiddy behavior.

Edit: FTA, the “rapid evolution” in question is that the malicious packages switched from using base64 for obfuscation to…double base64.
You'd be surprised how this is much more common than people realize
> Anti-virus software is utterly worthless in detecting previously-unknown rootkits.

Maybe the "this will be easy" part was that without AV software, there was a greater chance that they could just spin up Metasploit, and wouldn't even have to use one their stockpiled zero-days?
It really blew my mind how much Bell Labs influenced the area. I had my internship at Ericsson in Piscataway (formerly Telcordia, formerly part of Bell). I later worked for a defense contractor that came out of the Bell/Lucent/Alcatel-Lucent line. It feels like everyone I crossed paths with knew everyone else, and that they all had roots in some part of the Bell System.
FFM (Foreign Function and Memory API) Goes Final
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_construction

In the US, a particular form is evidence laundering, where one police officer obtains evidence via means that are in violation of the Fourth Amendment's protection against unreasonable searches and seizures, and then passes it on to another officer, who builds on it and gets it accepted by the court under the good-faith exception as applied to the second officer. This practice gained support after the Supreme Court's 2009 Herring v. United States decision.

See also the sibling about Fruit of the Poisonous Tree, the principle of law that Parallel Construction has rendered moot.
Wow it works without sign up or BYO API token! Nice for me but that’ll cost you

Thanks, this is super helpful. For us, we are pretty heavy with manual QA, and for work that can't be wrapped in feature flags, we'd still have to test a fair amount before merge, but at least it wouldn't have to be for every PR.

For post-release QA, at what point do you close the story? After all the subtasks are merged/deployed? Or later, after QA is done and they turn on the feature flag?
You have to keep these things in perspective. Microsoft reported $198 billion a year in revenue in 2022. That means Gamepass brings in 1% of Microsoft's revenue. I could see where Microsoft would consider applying those resources towards something that might make a bigger dent in their total net worth.
What does "Xbox exiting the gaming business" even mean? Does it mean that Microsoft will shut down the Xbox division? Do they plan to pivot into some other line of business?
If you are just concerned about being able to upload it and not have it taken down you can adjust the b&w color timing or do some restoration work on a few frames and register that tweaked version as a derivative work with the copyright office. You can then upload that version which you will hold the exclusive copyright to and can upload yourself to content id.
That's not quite right. You need one 10 for the fact that you listened to ten songs yesterday, and another 10 for the fact that you're listening to ten songs today.

Assume that you got 10 unique songs yesterday, which is the case ~96% of the time. Then there are 990 songs you didn't hear yesterday, and for every song you listen to today, there is a 990/1000 chance that it's one of those songs. Hence the chance of only hearing new songs today is (990/1000)^10 = 90.4%.
Depends on how deeply you want to protect yourself.

Disabling push notifications would help, especially if you disable notifications through individually app settings first. That should make sure an app doesn't continue trying to send notifications entirely, if you just disable notifications globally Apple or Google may still see notifications that they just don't route to your device.

If you really want better protection, use GrapheneOS or a similar de-Googled android device and don't install any Google services. That's the best way to still have a modern smartphone with limited risk that Apple or Google is somehow tracking most use.
One big example is home folder access. Linux has a variety of file access control systems (the most prominent are Linux file permissions and SELinux). However, typically any application you run will be run under your own user and have access to your home folder.

In macOS/Windows, there are runtime permissions these days which allow you to control which folders can be given to which application.

Linux needs to mainstream a solution like this. One of the most popular way Linux users can handle this today is by associating a user with a application and granting various permissions to that user. However this is a far cry from safe by default, and it requires deep system knowledge.
I see you have not read/watched The Andromeda Strain.
Unfortunately, the EU also just passed some AI regulations. Not sure how they impact Mistral's work, but just FWIW.
This is especially a problem on macOS:

https://support.apple.com/guide/disk-utility/erase-and-refor...

> Note: With a solid-state drive (SSD), secure erase options are not available in Disk Utility. For more security, consider turning on FileVault encryption when you start using your SSD drive.

So if you set up a Mac without FileVault you can never erase everything.

At least with my Lenovo I can do the secure erase.
Depends. Since Apple/Google are monitoring it on their end, and I believe (at least on Android) turning off notifications at the OS level just blocks it from showing on your phone, these would still be sniffable.

If the application in question has the ability to disable notifications inside the application itself, that should work.
I believe that the rationale is that if you can do an outstanding 7B model, it is likely that you are able to create, in the near future, something that may compete with OpenAI, and something that makes money, too.
Great, so the competition is going to yield cheap services with a nice UX.
I think that's generally what it means to be in-office at a software company. Having dedicated offices is exceptional, open floor plans are the rule. Note that this article isn't just talking about the software industry, though, so I take your point.
The problem with this comment is that it presupposes that this information in that regard has any value to anyone, even malicious racists.

My dad had a similar laptop. Playing video games on it was pretty trippy with all the ghosting.

Back then a cousin and I found a cheat exe on some BBS that gave you infinite ammo in Doom 2, it also gave us a virus (Michaelangelo, I think?). My dad somehow disassembled the exe to remove the virus so we could keep our infinite ammo cheat. I'm spoiled - I would struggle to do the same without online resources.
I'm a little disappointed that an article about our understanding of time across history didn't include the marine chronometer. It was a major breakthrough for nautical navigation in the 1700s. It allowed precise longitude determination long before GPS. Prior to the marine chronometer latitude could be precisely determined with celestial navigation, but longitudinal skew due to earth's rotation could not be compensated for without precise timekeeping.
