Well, this looks a bit early to make a strong opinion on the language, but it's always nice to see a new take on low-level-meets-safe! While I'm personally a big fan of Rust, it's clear that there are still many alternative approaches to explore.
I'm surprised to see no reference in the paper to Bereitschaftspotential or Libet's famous (and criticized) experiments - at least to give some context on how the findings here relate or differ.

That's fine and dandy as long as you don't use C++ with templates and other stuff that needs 90% of the code to be in the headers.

Any recompile triggers a lot of recompilation.

And no, I can't change the code the other hundred devs are writing in my company.

In C++ there is no individual units. In C it's somewhat plausible with some discipline.
> But you can't hold a single library responsible for the behavior of a few developers unfamiliar w/ server-side template escaping.

"Server-side template escaping" is a much thornier issue than it seems as first, and I can certainly blame it for trying to return to a paradigm where it's a problem.

> For if you do, then shouldn't we blame the whole web development ecosystem? And if the whole whole web development ecosystem is guilty, then isn't this an indictment of hypermedia's uniform interface in general?

Yes! It's almost like SGML is a pile of garbage for safely embedding user content, and HTML doesn't exactly improve things.

Atlassian went ahead and actually did delete every Mercurial repo.
Yeah, we already have a few extensions similar to this for viewing price history, such as Keepa. I use this one all the time since prices jump around so much; when I look at a product page on Amazon, Keepa inserts a big window with a price graph and other pickable info.

What do you mean without evidence? You are contesting BLM has leadership? They have a website, you can check it out. Regarding the democratic party support, there are a lot of videos from cnn and other networks interviews where visible member give their support to BLM.
If anything, it seems like QM existing makes a pretty good case free will also exists looking at more recent tech developments.

We have virtual worlds that could be described deterministically, such as with procedural generation and a seed function.

Often, these functions are theoretically continuous.

But also often, there's a mechanism by which the continuous function converts into discrete units.

Why?

In order to track state changes to what would otherwise be deterministic by free agents (i.e. players changing stuff).

That reality goes from continuous behavior to discrete upon interactions with free agents, and then goes back to continuous if the persistent information about those interactions is erased, looks a lot like what we might expect from a universe that needed to keep track of changes by free agents in an optimized manner (such that information erasure resets behavior back to functionally defined continuous behavior and not tracking discrete units).

Interestingly, this was predicted by the earliest philosophers thinking about quantized matter being solely governed by natural laws. They reasoned that if the laws of motion governing quanta were singular outcomes, that free will could not exist, thus given their belief in free will they hypothesized that quanta had variable outcomes which they likened to a 'Swerve' moving in a different direction suddenly from the other option. Over 2,000 years before we had experimental evidence that not only was matter made up of quantized parts, but that those parts were best described as moving probabilistically with variable outcomes.

That the behaviors of these quantized parts is time reversible seems less indicative of determinism and more like they serve the function of state tracking for interactions.
Does anyone know what "zero-shot" means in this context? Even the blog post doesn't mention it outside the title.
I can definitely see it both ways. When I imagine myself as a pilot who has been on spacing/holding vectors for 30+ minutes with repeated delays and no sign of even trying to slot me in, I may very well also have fallen for the temptation of informing ATC of the upcoming fuel issue in a sarcastic way. Still unprofessional, of course, but in a different context the exact same words could be taken as a lighthearted reminder rather than a threat. (And for all my stereotypes about Germans, it may very well have been a failed attempt at humour in a strained situation.)

But yeah, from that point on ATC did seem very professional to me.
"AI" can be as simple as "a bunch of if-statements in a decision tree."

This doesn't say how it works, and Airbnb has published things like this before, like "Airbnb deploys AI to crack down on parties over Halloween" from a couple months ago, via https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38016113 or in general "Airbnb Is Launching 'Anti-Party Tools' to Stop Parties" from mid-2022, via https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32497758.

At this point I think we can say this news is more a marketing blurb than anything new or interesting.
If it's done as a browser extension, the way Keepa is (it's used to monitor price history on amazon.com), there's absolutely nothing the companies can do about it.
Well, I’ve literally observed it (circa 2016 and design has not significantly changed with this in that time) and confirmed my finding with percona.

deadlock was the wrong terminology to use, apologies, I keep writing from my phone as I am travelling at the moment: I meant lock contention, specifically in memory. A deadlock would be a hard stop but what I observed was a bottleneck on memory bandwidth past a certain number of cores (24) with update heavy workloads.

So, appreciate your points but I don't think I am wrong in the core thesis of my statements. x :)
Asserting that centralization isn’t inherently bad is kind of like saying that monopolies aren’t inherently bad, yes.

I watched this a few nights ago and it's still on my mind. Flying over
mountainous dense forest with no hope of a safe landing while swerving
to stop the birds from flying into the propeller was exciting. But
what got me was them waking up at dawn and going to bed in the same
room at night, every day for weeks, wearing a yellow jump suit (so
that the chicks would bond/imprint with them as surrogate
mothers). Attenborough even says, "the pay is awful" - they are
basically volunteers.

This makes me think of the "Moral Equivalent of War" - I mean, in some
ways we really are in a war for sanity - nothing else explains such
level of motivation. Those women are literally living their lives to
the full fighting for something they passionately believe in.

it's weird because I think like others here, reddit has lost it's allure for me (after 12 years of devoted active participation). but I can't point out something specific that caused it. I knew many comments were bots and trolls before, and the ratio hasn't changed (probably) since I quit, but I definitely can't trust basically anything I read on Reddit anymore. maybe chatgpt killed it for me?

I'm glad I finally quit, but now I just check hn twice as much. at least there are less memes tho

I want to see that shader. How is sloshing implemented? Is the volume of the bottle computed on every frame?

Clearly, there's some sort of a physics simulation going on there, preserving the volume, some momentum, and taking gravity into account. That the result is being rendered over the shader pipeline rather than the triangle one doesn't make it any more or less "real" than the rest of the game. It's a lie only if the entire game is a lie.
Door/window sensors usually send a signal on state change from closed to open or the other way around.

I think a leak sensor is more complicated because it needs to detect a somewhat lowered resistance between the contacts, as opposed to the door sensors that will get a fully closed/opened reed switch on activation. Detecting lower resistance with some threshold in a battery powered device that needs to sleep most of the time is probably more complicated. I would guess waking up on a pin state change is built into most microcontrollers, while measuring resistance to make it wake up requires additional components?
seems rather obvious and i would imagine most encoding algos act accordingly

The 1044km claim is from a livestream where the CEO of the company drove the car from Shanghai to Xiamen until there's 3% left in the battery. All this amid a cold wave too.

> The temperature during the test was between -2 °C and 12 °C (28 – 54 °F). The coldest time was at the beginning of the test, as it was early morning in Shanghai. The average cabin temperature was 20 °C (68 °F). The carload was about 190 kg (two adults, lifestream equipment, and other items).

"Everything you end up doing in life will open doors that would have otherwise remained firmly closed"

Oh no. It is also quite possible to do things, that will very firmly close doors, that were open before, or making sure some doors will never open ..

(quite some doors are also not worth going through)
I read the documentation about libfaketime and I saw that it doesn't work in combination with other libraries that also play with LD_PRELOAD. Timecop could fail if something else also wraps the date and time classes but its block scoped form should keep working. I didn't check. Furthermore I don't know what's out there that does it. I should write my own code.
And this is (should be, at least) good practise. When there's an emergency, you don't want pilots second-guessing that radio call because they are worried about repercussions if they understood the situation wrong.

What do you mean in the future? Multiple GPU chips is already pretty common (on the same card or having multiple cards at the same time). Besides, GPUs are massively parallel chips as well, with specialized units for graphics and AI operations.
I've gotten a lot of use out of the clipboard hiatory on Android and on windows 10/11. I just wish I had more control over them. Android especially doesn't give you an option to disable or lengthen the hour timer that clears things from your clipboard history which is really annoying when I copy something for later and need to go find it again after an hour when it's been removed for me.

Some of these go beyond just advice for programmers. Everyone should reflect on the first point: most authors and essayists are read because they are good writers, not necessarily because they are experts on the subject matter.

Take walks!

Try different types of work. Learn about other job functions at your company. In big companies in particular, you may be doing things that just have to be corrected or worked around somewhere else, when you could make things easier for everyone.

from the article:

Just last week, Netflix unexpectedly released an unusually comprehensive “engagement report” revealing audience-consumption numbers (...) Netflix’s single most popular anything from January and June 2023 was a recent thriller series called The Night Agent, (...) “I stay pretty plugged in with media, especially TV shows - legit have never heard of what’s apparently the most watched scripted show in the world,” one person posted on Threads.

That was my feel exactly. How is it possible that I'm even on the same platform and have never even heard of it?

You are the one claiming leftist violence is just a fluke, just kids having fun with robbing, beating and arson. At the same time claiming a much smaller right-wing transgression is the end of the world. The are an examples of right-wing terrorist actions that are much much more despicable and truly destructable. Unlike you I have no problem condemning either side when they are wrong.

>> That doesn't excuse it by any means, course, but it's so old as to be irrelevant to today's discussion.

You must be kidding. Should we also not talk about people and ideology that brought us world war 2, since it has been even longer then the Vietnam war?
Like the pilots of Singapore Airlines?

In the words of Lee Kuan Yew…

“I gave them a choice. Continue this and I will by every means at my disposal teach you and get the people of Singapore to help me teach you a lesson you won't forget.

Why? Because they know they'll lose.

They know that I'm prepared to ground the airline. They know that I can get the airline going again without them.“
> the ones succeeding the most are those which have a nearly universal negative appraisal of the communist era.

A simpler explanation is that you swapped cause and effect: it's the countries where the economy struggled, where their people regret leaving their previous socialist economy.

Why some economies struggled less than other is something that probably requires a lot more of country-by-country investigation, rather than generalisations... But I think that a common trend might be:

How accessible (and geographically close) is the country to potential investors? Poland is close to Germany (and German investors could already find a German speaking minority, which could help bootstrap), likewise the Baltic republic are close to Finland and Sweden (Sweden is the first country to open an embassy in Estonia for example, which is arguably a prerequisite for a lot of investment in Estonia)
C++ isn't C++. It is every incarnation of the language, every language subset defined in a code standard (for a project or an organization), over decades.

Sure you can write virgin code in C++ and choose some "modern" incarnation of the language or some subset thereof. But there exists billions of lines of legacy that most of us have to deal with. Daily or occasionally. Usually without the option of rewriting.

Then there's the tooling. The horrific, antiquated build process which we try to automate with tools that just make things even more complex. The lack of a practical standard library that says "you know, those things you often have to do, we should actually offer those". It is neither helpful nor useful that C++ doesn't have room for HTTP, JSON, basic networking abstractions etc.

I would not recommend a beginner learn C++ today. I'd recommend Rust or Go. Most people are going to be more productive AND produce more robust code in fewer years. One can be annoyed by that statement, but you would have an uphill battle claiming that it is wrong.

I don't think C++ is worth the investment for a new programmer. Dealing with C++ just gets more complex the more changes we make to it and the more we evolve it. C++ isn't just one spec - it is the aggregate of all specs and practices that have existed because that's what you risk ending up working on in real life.

It's a bit much history.

From the perspective of the programmer I think it is a much better idea to put some energy behind a fresh start. And try to remember the mistakes that were made. Right now, for C++ developers, Rust looks like the closest thing to a fresh start. But it may be that Go is going to make a lot of C++ programmers a lot happier too since not all C++ code lives in constrained environments or actually has to deliver bare metal performance.

I don't think the C++ community even wants C++ to turn into something that is comparable to Rust or Go. Doing that to C++ would require throwing things out and creating something very different.

You also need to take religion into account - Catholic vs Orthodox.

Orthodox countries are statistically more corrupt due to relation to God and it's translation to relation to authority. This is well researched.

You'll be able to understand the equations I guess. The hard part is the numerical analysis: how do you prove your computations will: 1/ reach a solution (badly managed computations will diverge and never reach any solution) 2/ reach a solution that is close to reality ?

For me that's the hard part (which I still don't get).

You could start with Saint Venant equations, although they look complicated they're actually within reach. But you'll have to understand the physics behind first (conservation of mass, of quantity of movement, etc.)

First of all, your point about accidents per mile seems fair. But your point about fault doesn't seem fair, because I can't think of any reason why Tesla drivers would be in more accidents despite being at fault less. A positive correlation between number of accidents and responsibility for those accidents seems obvious, while a negative correlation (or no correlation at all) seems extremely unlikely. Of course, there might be some minor variance related to geography or the type of vehicle, but it stands to reason that people who cause accidents often will be in more accidents than people who don't cause accidents often.

Anecdotally, all of the EV drivers I know are driving fewer total miles than ICE drivers. If you can find a study with a good sample size that says EV drivers are driving more miles on average, I'd be very interested to see it. As it stands, I think that correcting the numbers for miles driven would make Tesla look worse here, not better.

Old unused railways being repurposed as bike paths actually can be good for general mobility, traffic safety, etc.

In the case you are describing I'd still say it is more of a symptom of an underlying issue to be honest. One you yourself do actually describe.

> The County also goes to great lengths to spend as much money as possible. When digging a new tunnel, the excavated material was used to stuff the old tunnel, meaning there was no increase in capacity. In another instance, once the tunnel was finished, the $$$$$$$ tunnel boring machine was sold for scrap instead of being reused.

To me this more or less seems to hint at an overall lack of vision on transit and traffic in general. Or rather, the unwillingness to do the investments necessary. Frankly, the fact that you even got biking infrastructure at all is sort of amazing and probably only happened because the investment needed was minimal.
