There is a bit in a PG13 movie where the guys says "Do you know that unless you’re willing to use the R rating, you can only say the ‘F’ word once? You know what I say? Fuck that. I’m done." I think the same is true for `from X import *` and code quality.

Turquoise is not blue. Blue is for police and shouldn't be used on passenger cars in the US.
Probably totally off as remote work is a very small % of all the work done globally.

Furthermore, there are significant barriers getting into the kind of remote work that pays significantly more than local work: language and culture, legal considerations, the skills to find remote jobs and, particularly in less developed countries, having education that would allow you to develop globally marketable skills.
Not just government or corporate either. Basically, it's an "anyone" sock puppet. And most groups, corporates and governments use it. From the US government to the Ku Klux Klan.

People just have to learn to question everything they see on reddit, and indeed on the internet in general. Including every post on this comment thread. Including mine.

Act with wisdom by being skeptical of all of it.

The ability to screen emails and approve new senders has been a game changer for me. I've managed to cut down on noise and actually hit Inbox Zero for the first time.

The spam protection isn't great, it relies on proprietary APIs, and I'm not super excited about the other features, but I'm sticking with Hey just for the screening feature.
> If a million people professed to believe that, say, brainfuck was fit as a general purpose programming language that in and of itself would not make it so.

No, but if millions of people actually did manage to use Brainfuck for general purpose programming, then that would be evidence that it really is fit as a general purpose programming language, even if it's not ideal.

Brainfuck isn't in that position, hence no one thinks it's fit, but C++ is. People do use it for general purpose programming, even if their program could be rewritten in a garbage-collected language.

You are correct, I mistakenly thought it was 1/cycle because I had previously remembered IMUL taking 30 cycles (and now it has a 1 cycle throughput).

Wow. Wow. I've always suspected this, especially after we had our daughter. My partner would be on new parent groups and then over time she would hear about new products or bring up new ideas to solve some problem I didn't know we had. I find it really pernicious that the tactic is to inject doubt and uncertainty about your adequacy as a care taker. I got really suspicious but she told me it was brought up by other "moms" in the groups. I had my suspicions but seeing it somewhat confirmed is something else.

Argh.
I don't think anyone's arguing they shouldn't be digitized, just that the originals shouldn't be destroyed.
This is somewhat reassuring. A decade ago when clock frequencies had stopped increasing and core count started to increase I predicted that the future was massively multicore.

Then the core count stopped increasing too -- except only if you look in the wrong place! It has in CPUs, but they moved to GPUs.

You say that like "manipulation" is a bad thing.
Notebooks aren't necessarily for production but are a really great way to explore data & models and move at the speed of thought. It's for prototyping, collaboration, and feedback.

I sense that most of the frustration teams have with notebooks is when they try to ship notebooks, which is likely a mistake (in many but not all cases) as you're pointing out!
I don't completely agree with the article... For example:

> Things go faster. Like in the example of the ATM you won’t lose time learning things you don’t want to learn. You can use the knowledge of an expert on the topic to accelerate the process.

This is actually an example of the opposite. How much time does she spend going inside the bank, waiting in line, and asking a person for help over the course of her life? Is it really less than the amount of time it takes to learn to use an ATM?

That is, say tP = (time it takes to get personal help), tA = (time it takes to use an ATM), tL = (time it takes to learn), and N = (number of times she'll withdraw/deposit over her life, after making this decision).

Is it true that (tP x N) < (tA x N) + tL ?

tA is definitely smaller than tP. And I don't think tL is a colossal number, so I think it probably isn't true.

Second,

> It’s extremely easy to do.

I don' think that's always true, either. It can actually be much more difficult at times. Not everyone wants to help, not everyone is good at helping, not everyone can help. It gets easier the more you practice/learn the skill of asking for help, though.

If anything I think the opposite, the internet is going to be so flooded by AI pigswill that no one, automated or not, is going to be able to deal with it.

The governments of the world might be able to listen to your phone conversations, but I doubt anyone can listen to whispers in a tornado.
I was aware that stuff like this is going on, but I think the spoof video would show the juxtaposition of how one of these things isn't like the other. I'm sure this has been discussed extensively so I'm probably not adding anything by saying this MOS crosses the line with the military actively engaging with civilians, during peace time. Manipulating netizens is not "serving your country".

There will be no internal rebellion or civil war, if government actually works for its own people and serves them diligently.

More effort should be placed in helping people improve their lives, get access to healthcare, education, food, clean water, protect them from isolation and mental health issues, improve the civil discourse so people are kinder and gentler, more civil to each other.

The answer might not be present in taking people’s guns away or remove methods for people to protect themselves.

America has had a century of prosperity, while having the liberties to carry arms. You’re right a lot of democracies are right now at risk of an internal rebellion and civil war, including america. But the question is what caused it and how can we reverse the trend ? The answer surely cannot lie in removing something (gun rights) that was present even in years of prosperity.

The risk of foreign governments initiating civil war is real, and america itself has done this to other countries that once used to be democracies, civilians not having guns certainly didn’t prevent those civil wars, it’s not that difficult for nations to pump in guns to rebels and terrorists to cause instability in a nation. None of those countries had gun rights like america did, yet they all fell to civil wars.

The answer lies in government serving the people, and being afraid of the public.

Not in making gov fearless, and thus less concerned about working for the masses.

Think about it for a moment, you and I are worried about a civil war breaking out. Why ? Because the recent government on both party sides haven’t been too honest and diligent in working for the public.

Whether that’s in deteriorating public education, prospects of high tech jobs, destruction of good blue collar jobs for people to improve their lives without obscene college debt, bad healthcare policies.

These situations can only happen from an apathetic government structure that cares 0 about the masses.

How do you think, it’ll make those same governments more caring towards the public, by removing the first and second amendments ?

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think gun rights are necessary or some messiah that’ll save mankind, I just don’t understand the obsession with trying to remove them.
Making it illegal is easy, but that's not necessarily true for enforcing said regulation. Unless we expect law enforcement to memorize which make and model should have blue lights, increasing year by year.

That, or a much more technologically invasive solution like letting cops see into car's driving mode remotely which is a whole other can of worms.

Yes - using Plasmic to manage landing pages design and content is our main use case!

We still need to improve the experience for open source contributions, but we are open to that! That being said, React is still our main priority at the moment.

I'm not familiar with Blazor, but you may also explore our render API (https://docs.plasmic.app/learn/render-api/). It allows fetching rendered HTML from Plasmic servers, then you would just render it in the DOM.

Ditto my commute in the bus to and from work. People wince when I tell them it takes me ~45 minutes to go to work, and the same amount of time to go back home, but 30 minutes of each trip is done with my laptop open working, meaning I only need to spend 7 hours in the office each day.
This (along with marijuana legalization) is one of those issues that seem like it could be a slam dunk for politicians. AFAIK the vast majority agrees that CAF is bogus and needs to be abolished (same for MJ) but the legislators just won't end it.

There's several more of these "issues" that the vast majority of US citizens agree on but, strangely, these seem to be the ones that nothing changes on. Wedge issues on the other hand... that's the battleground.

It makes me wonder if I need to put on a tinfoil hat or if they really DO just want to keep us divided.

Isn't reverse white light? If your colorblindness prevents you from distinguishing turquoise from white, I think that is an extremely rare condition? The vast majority of color blindness is red-green at ~0.5% of the population (or ~2% if you include very mild forms). The next most prevalent type, I think, is blue-yellow (mostly tritan CVD) at 0.01%.

> The largest of these models are incredibly expensive. They’re expensive to make, with billions spent acquir­ing training data, labelling it, and running it through massive computing arrays to turn it into models.

This is the part that doesn't seem like an unsustainable bubble. Initial training is very expensive. The cost of running a trained model keeps coming down as we find more and more ways of making it smaller while maintaining a high level of accuracy. It really comes down to if these advancements can keep going and meet costs before investment dries up.
If you mean “traffic pattern” (from https://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/publications/media/pcg_10-12...), that is also something you would do visually, which I don’t think Lufthansa would accept.

As for not being able to give an accurate estimate, that is not for the on-the-radio approach controller to calculate, given their view of the airspace. The video posted by parent shows how long the inbound flows were (at least on the east side); approach wouldn’t have seen that.

The coordination necessary to get an accurate estimate should’ve involved managers, which might be affected by the current shortage (see https://www.npr.org/2023/11/09/1211838624/air-traffic-contro...).
It's sad that we've taken it so far. Cars don't inherently have to be death traps (see smaller cars in europe), and we shouldn't have to use them for basic needs like getting groceries, but to just keep making them bigger and more dangerous for those outside of the car is plain insane.

And now these death machines are going electric, which is slightly better but now they're wayy heavier. How many deaths are we going to need to see from the cybertrucks and Hummer EVs until regulation kicks in and makes us reconsider things?
The title is false. It seems to derive from the following paragraph:

> The results were alarming, with 15% of the top 100 subreddits found to have content that was likely posted by bots or corporate trolls, specifically aimed at promoting certain companies or organizations.

It's not 15% of content. Nowhere even close. It's 15% of top subreddits that might contain just a single post considered "likely" (no actual verification) to be from what they call a corporate "troll".

In other words, it's a completely meaningless statistic.

Well it appears the author is likely from Spain. So probably English is not their native language.
One of the best ways to find out the truth is to propose what's clearly not true.

Show HN: Userscript to improve the readability of deep nested comments on HN
Hi everyone,

I love browsing Hacker News comments on my smartphone, especially the very popular posts with 100s of replies. However the deep nested comments can get hard to read if the text is squashed together on the right side of the screen.

My userscript enhances the readability by providing a button to expand the comment to full width.
Human change does not require Darwinian selection. Look across cultures. That people might tolerate or be most comfortable in noisier environments could vary for non-heritable reasons. Some people like less stimulation, some more. Autism rates have changed faster than our genetics also.
Not really. Look at the standard template library. It’s not really using classes with inheritance. It’s using non-member functions, often with iterators.

Ironically I’ve just learned, however, that lambdas are actually anonymous classes! I’m currently up to the bit in yhe book I referred to before that explains how to do currying in C++.

The more I read, the more I think I’m working against the code base than I am against C++. I’m actually very curious how ranges work, something the book talks about later.

I agree the incentives aren't there. Also agree that it is possible to use the integrated GPU for light tasks, but only light tasks.

In the high performance scenarios where there is all three (discrete GPU, integrated GPU, and CPU) and we try and use the integrated GPU alongside the CPU, it often causes thermal throttling on the shared die between iGPU and CPU.

This slows the CPU down from executing well, keeping up with state changes, and sending needed data to the keep the discrete GPU utilized. In short, don't warm up the CPU, we want it to stay cool, if that means not doing iGPU stuff, don't do it.

When we have multiple discrete GPU's available (render farm), this on-die thermal bottleneck goes away and there are many render pipelines that are made to handle hundreds, even thousands of simultaneous GPU's working on a shared problem set of diverse tasks, similar to trying to utilize both iGPU and dGPU on the same machine but bigger.

Whether or not to use the iGPU is less about scheduling and more about thermal throttling.
When you imagine from your minds eye, that is a plane of some sort.

If we understood exactly where or how this plane exists and for whom, we could arbitrarily place objects and ideas in this plane. Eg force someone to think of a red ball bouncing, or pull imagined objects forcefully out of the plane.
As part of that subgroup, I think 'colorblindness' is a stigmatising term.

I think it comes down to expectations being betrayed, even if the expectations aren't correct.

For me, I pay Jetbrains every year because I want a fully local IDE. I absolutely do NOT want any kind of cloud integration because that means my workflow becomes dependent on Jetbrains or whatever third party is powering the integration. At that point, all of the value of Jetbrains is gone, at least for me, and I could use any other editor. VSCode is much easier to use with dev containers based on my experience.

The other thing that's frustrating is the willingness to ship code off to some third party server / service. Again, I'm paying to NOT have that.

Personally, I don't think Jetbrains will hold out much longer and this is a sign of that. If the people making these decisions have enough power (internally) to put a cloud connected AI assistant in my face, I think it's only a matter of time until they become infested with service based monetization schemes that turn their products into the same junk we're seeing from everyone else in the industry.

Jetbrains needs to re-evaluate what their customers are paying for because they seem to be misguided.

I see some people singing the praises of AI which hasn't been my experience. Any time I ask it about a topic where I'd consider myself an expert, it's wildly wrong. It only seems useful when I ask it about topics where I have very little understanding because the responses are confident sounding and well organized.

So my hunch is that people finding it useful are probably below average developers that don't know what they don't know.
