Herb Sutters' proposal is absolutely the right direction to go to reign C++ back into being a sane simpler language from the mess it has grown into. I doubt it'll ever happen though.

It seems that in the eyes of most of corporate America's management, C++ is a legacy language, and should be replaced with Java (which tbh makes sense in many cases given that Java's tooling and libaries are better than those of C++). Other companies are looking at Rust as a successor to C++.

Even if Herbs's work was completed and implemented by major compilers, it's hard to see much uptake - who's going to be approving porting legacy C++ code to a new modern C++, yet alone approving C++ for new projects?

Maybe if there is a Sutter C++ successor, it should drop the "C++" name which carries legacy associations, and call itself something new. Present itself as C++ successor, even if it comes from a starting point of being 99% backwards compatible with modern (say C++11 or later) C++. Sounds superficial, but I bet it'd make a difference in perception!

Using blood analysis and advanced metabolomic techniques, researchers have uncovered distinct metabolic characteristics in people with severe depression and suicidal thoughts, with over 90% accuracy in distinguishing them from healthy people.

These characteristics included abnormalities in fat metabolism, increased RNA turnover, and mitochondrial dysfunction.

About 75% of the metabolic abnormalities were individualized, suggesting the need for personalized treatment approaches.

The study suggests nutrient deficiencies, including carnitine, CoQ10, and folic acid, may play a role.

Carnitine is important for fatty acid transport into mitochondria for energy production.

CoQ10 is involved in mitochondrial energy generation and acts as an antioxidant.

Folic Acid is essential for DNA synthesis and repair, and amino acid metabolism.
>Elite: Dangerous is an absolute blast.

It's good for a while but it get's boring fast. There is still only one ground vehicle, they haven't added new ships in years, just skins to purchase for cash. Most updates they do now are just to the background story with events like systems changing hands due to the thargoids etc.

Every space station is the same but with some changes to signage and colour. and mostly the same layouts despite existing in different empires so far apart the travel can take days. The stations just function as a 3d mission board.

Star Citizen and even No Mans Sky appear to be moving ahead of them.

Remove the FPS shooter and I don't think there is more here than what you would see in the old elite games. The distances are so vast and meeting other human players is so rare beyond certain star systems that the game should have just been made single player.

a few edits:

I played on PC but was a bit annoyed that they just nixed it for consoles when they couldn't get performance with graphics these consoles were more than capable of. And only came up with a process to transfer saves to PC after the fact(even though save data is stored with them) because players were obviously annoyed they would be losing a decade of progress.

Their process for creating player factions was astonishingly bureaucratic, you had to fill out some google docs etc. As of 2023 they've removed that too. To make progress in any reasonable amount of time you basically need to be unemployed and constantly have a wiki or other 3rd party tools open in a browser.

The had game that was years of the competition but have lost that lead and many of the original Kickstarter plans were dropped.

FDev also doesn't seem to pay attention to anyone critical of issues or the direction things have went outside beyond their forum where their most uncritical players hangout and just share samesey screenshots of ships parked next to things.
Apple has supported FeliCa globally since 2017. Android still doesn’t. It’s not a restriction someone can remove; the non-Japanese phones just don’t have either the hardware or license necessary.

Same in Australia, Tesla and most other EVs are all CCS Type 2 here, except for some CHAdeMO in Japanese cars, but I can’t see that being a priority for charging networks going forward so I expect that to dwindle and they will have to switch to CCS like everyone else.

OK, here's self-reported evidence that I have precognition. When I'm riding my motorbike I typically have my face shield open (I wear sunnies so no point keeping it down, plus I like the fresh air.) If a piece of grit or something gets past and hits my face near my eyes, it feels like I blink a split second before it hits. Clearly I have precognition.

An alternate explanation is that my blink reflex is triggered locally by nerve cells around my eyes, regardless of what my brain does. My brain then receives sensory inputs indicating that I've blinked. It only finds out that something hit my face a split second (say 100ms, that seems to be one 'tick' for most brain things?) afterwards since touch data from that area of skin is fairly low resolution. At this point my brain feels pretty strongly that it wants to blink, to protect my eyes. Here comes the fun bit: Since there's always a strong and seemingly causal link between "something hitting face near eye", "eye has blinked", and "brain wants to blink" my brain is pretty sure it actually decided to blink just before the grit actually hit me.

This feels to me like I blink, out of nowhere, then a split second later feel something hit my face. How can you argue with my constant and empirical experience?
You keep repeating yourself. I am listening to you and have been with every previous post where you make the same claim while ironically ignoring and not addressing my actual points. I understand your point perfectly. If anyone is not listening to anyone, it's you not listening to me.

I don't care that you agree that the people we're talking about shouldn't have been arrested. That's not related to the point I was making.
Sorry. Thanks for the laugh :)
Suica is a stored value card, so you don't have to do an online balance check to validate a transaction.

There is also probably a practical element to it, in that Suica and other IC cards are managed by entities that are closely linked to the various train systems in Japan. The terminals are known to them, the cards were all issued by them; they can probably preload a lot of stuff at all the train stations and keep the data regarding the cards synced directly among the stations. (It's at least feasible that by the time you get to the next station, 90% of the time, the information about your card is already there.) This is in contrast to what would happen if you used Mastercard or Visa to pay for train fares, where all the data would first have to go to northern Virginia...

>It is often said that governments can do little to increase the birth rate. I find this implausible.

What's implausible about it? It's very easy for me to burn my house down, a match and some lighter fluid should do the trick. I've never learnt the trick of unburning it down. Some effects are "one-way". They're ratchets.

The theory that is presented only applies to the United States. But governments throughout the world are struggling with falling (plummeting, really) fertility rates, and not all of them have the same irritating car seat laws.

I believe that most people would agree that anti-smoking campaigns (through television commercials and media advertisements mostly) work, and there is a measurable reduction in smoking behavior. What most people would be surprised at is that there is another campaign, at least as effective as and maybe moreso, that discourages procreation. Every standup comedian for the past 50 years, every sitcom, every NYT article telling everyone how they need $1 million per child to raise them to adulthood. Certainly this particular campaign isn't deliberate like the other, but it still exists. It may be so that because it isn't deliberate and that there is no one person or organization causing it, that it may be impossible to turn off.

I really struggle with dozens and dozens of vocabulary that is being used in the field of machine learning and especially AI. I'm not a beginner at all, but I wonder if there is a comprehensive guide for all those terms that not necessarily explains the technology behind them in detail, but shows their position and relation to each other. like some kind of landscape.

"everyone" seems to know Mamba. I never heard of Mamba. There are constantly new kind of llm popping up, talking about stuff that seems to be obvious.

So, is there some kind of resource like that, not aiming at beginners, but experienced users, coming from other fields of IT?
Sometimes the simplest things are so hard for people to come up with. Unfortunately, people are trying to make their life more difficult than it needs to be -- I think developers are especially prone to trying to figure out their own solution rather than spending a moment to search for it.

All contact with outside world should happen through interfaces with replaceable implementation.

If you care about time related stuff, this should also include time, timers, schedulers, etc.

Make sure you don't circumvent the interfaces by accident. There are stupid ways to do so like getting current time in SQL or embedding current time in new objects by default.
This came out as part of the new React docs site at React.dev, which was launched earlier this year. (There's been a lot of debate about that within the React community since it happened.)
If a library changes its output unexpectedly, then either:

- It’s a local library so the tests covering your code should fail

- It’s changed in a way you didn’t anticipate so why would testing it directly fail when your prior test didn’t?

- Your end user monitoring should light up like a Christmas tree

Let's say a woman had a establishment where she offered children's birthday parties. You scroll down the list of offerings, Jesus themed birthday, The Virgin Mary package, God's love birthday, The Holy Trinity package for triplets.

Sure she has a couple of things like Spiderman and Disney princesses in there but the reglious stuff seems to be everywhere.

Then you say that she appears to be reglious and she gets really offended and has long winded justifications rather than just removing those packages from her website if she doesn't want people to assume that's what she's trying to promote.

This is essentially the point I’m making, i.e. “we're highly susceptible to things…”.

It’s not clear to me what aspect you consider to be outdated and primitive vs. what you seem to be restating. I suspect we’re in agreement and that you may have misunderstood my comment, which was not trying to claim that people have problems just because they have access. Clearly there are systemic factors that make access more or less of an issue.
Of course really it is 6 months of experience repeated 40 times.

Show HN: Bertina – 3M Bert (ITA)
Enough with LLM news. it may sound boring but I've pretrained a tiny version of BERT, approx 3M params, from scratch on a bunch of italian data (wiki mostly).

According to benchmarks it performs just 5-8% worse than a fully fledged 100M vanilla ita BERT.

I've used a 15k vocab. size and tweaked the hidden size. Nothing too fancy, it's been a good excercise though.
Orbital shapes and energies influence how light interacts with a material. Yes, once you get to QED, it’s simple. Before that is a whole bunch of layers of QFT to determine where the electrons are, and their energy. From that, there are many emergent behaviors.

Also QED is still a model. If you want to simulate every photon action, might as well build a universe.

> Doesn't it take, like, 100 lines of code to call a kernel in OpenCL? Compared to Nvidia's 1?

If you are using a single line of code to execute a CUDA kernel then you are accepting a huge amount of default behavior.

I mean, this is really, really nice and you get some pretty good performance. You're going to outgrow that single line of code very quickly. I think you're beyond it by the time you get done with Nvidia tutorial #2.
The factorial example is interesting because it shows how the programmer's own knowledge affects how to interpret the result of the tools.

Factorial overflows pretty quickly. I think 23! is where Javascript can't handle it correctly any more - far less than the 170 from CodiumAI, and long before stack overflow issues.

CodiumAI generated a correct test for 30!, but the presenter didn't run that test. In fact, CodiumAI was the only one to generate a test case that was high enough to exercise precision loss.

SourceGraph Code suggested using BigInts, but the presenter didn't think it was useful. One side effect is that n! is no longer O(n) with that switch, because multiplication is O(n^1.585) using the Karatsuba algorithm.

EDIT: Oh, of course - the 30! test will work as both values will be stored as 64-bit floats with the same value. The real test for no precision loss is that factorial(30) != 265252859812191058636308480000001 but none of tests handled that possibility.

Also, the test for n>=170 is really more an stack overflow prevention as the value will be infinity anyway.
Raytracing is the most relevant thing I can think of off the top of my head. It fits the rest of your description. For that matter, though, I don't know what a lot of the graphical options are in games these days or if they really add anything. Back in the day it was easy to choose your resolution, texture resolution, and level of AA. Now the menus have 40 options, often with no descriptions.

Nah they're super different. Rust failing at compile time means you fix the bug before you ship it, which is helpful. MongoDB failing in production means either you fix the bug via testing before shipping, or you discover the bug after shipping, which is at best extra work and at worst disastrous.
Regardless of if banning child porn is effective at stopping crimes against children (it doesn’t, porn in general correlates to a societal-wide decline in sex and sex crimes) that doesn’t mean all the CSAM victims out there want pictures of them naked as a child to be part of some uncompensated scheme to replace their jobs.
I think a model could do some basic eval but there are too many hidden assumptions for it to do especially well.
Things that don't matter much. A nice consistent style is good to have, but it isn't something worth worrying about that much.
TLDR: it's harder to have more kids when the law demands we keep them safe to a certain standard when children ride in cars. Car seats take up more space than children. This is a financial pressure against larger families.

If your problem is low birth rates in America, sure, car seat laws are a small but measurable and possibly easily-remedied contributor to said problem. But really that's one of like a thousand things[0] including car culture generally. Trains, light rail, and busses don't add that pressure, and bikes are cheap.

[0] TFA mentions a bunch of other pressures, but that list is certainly non-exhaustive, and seems very facile, tbh.
Most produce in the US is not already packaged. It is weighed at checkout where you enter the type of produce, or enter a 4 or 5 digit code to identify the type of produce.
Contrast that with the account I read about the 1930s-40s: The major media was radio, and on summer afternoons when President Franklin Roosevelt was speaking, you could apparently walk down the street and not miss a word of the speech, because every radio in every house was tuned to the same broadcast.

Unimaginable today.

Quick note on Audition. It's not 100% the same, but Davinci Resolve comes with Fairlight included.

And Davinci Resolve is free.

It's an DAW that is definitely at a professional level and isn't too hard to learn as someone who was used to multitrack editing in Audition. All my VST3 plugins carry over and some of the builtin effects are just as good or better than those in Audition. It's not a light-weight program at all, but comparable to Audition.

I only find myself missing Audition when it comes to repairing original .wav files. But I haven't actually had to do that in many years at this point.

If you haven't tried it, I highly recommend giving it a try.

(I've heard good things about Reaper as a DAW and think I'll try it on my next project.)
