TeleMate - I might still have the original floppies somewhere. I still miss how easy this thing made file transfers; there's simply nothing like it in the modern era.

Commander Keen and Jazz Jackrabbit -- we played the hell out of these and it was only right to register them. Additional levels, whoah!

PKZip 2.04g -- back when software could just be "finished".

mIRC -- I sunk way too many hours of my life into mIRC scripts....

ACDSee 3.x -- Another "there's just nothing like it especially on linux", the fastest JPEG viewer ever to exist. I could crank up my key repeat rate, hold PgDn, and it would blast images into VRAM as fast as the keyboard asked for. Used 4DOS-style Descript.ion files and, to this day, I have a mindboggling amount of photo descriptions trapped in these files. No modern equivalent makes it so easy to tag things right in the filesystem without sucking them into some walled-garden database.
That's interesting because I remember lots of people fear masks and vaccines and refuse to use any of them even despite the mention of the higher goods.

The ones vaccinated and masked didn't run, they stayed especially in the health sector.
Wait what?

ChatGPT does diagrams for you? Writes documentation?
Thanks. Never noticed the discrepancy. I guess this clarifies it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37737076
As a Russian I can easily envision the pathologically lying government doing this.

The Wikipedia article linked above shows that there are no verified sources except government and that government also says there's no war in Ukraine. The credibility of the source is very low in my eyes.

And generally remember the general effort to discredit West. If you want West to look more immoral than you, it's hard to do without looking more moral than West and this incident, if true, would be an example of people being VERY immoral.

As you slowly collect your bags you have no way to know that people behind you are 100% dead and beyond help. Any attempt of the government to say it's fine is just pathetic.
My comment stands for over-ear headphones as well - it's just not going to matter for 90% of users. An Apple dongle is usually more than enough.

I have several different amps, a tube pre-amp, several DACs and a Qudelix 5k DAC. I regularly switch between an HD600, HD650, HD560s, HE4xx and Audeze Maxwells. I can maybe count on one hand when I thought one combination sounded "better" than another, although I'm sure I could bump up this number if I tried. The problem is 90% of the time it just doesn't matter.

There's loads of resources on the net that talk about this, e.g.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8zAko5G6eg

Most of the time the differences are not that important, unless, as the adage goes, you're using the music to listen to your equipment rather than using the equipment to listen to your music. Which... 90% of users don't do.
Been a while since I dabbled with fluid physics, but I was thinking how about ensuring the input noise field was divergence free[2]?

Cleave:

- to adhere firmly and closely or loyally and unwaveringly

- to divide by or as if by a cutting blow : split

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/cleave

So cleave is it's own opposite. It causes no confusion because context is everything. q.v. homonyms.

Edit: "The word "cleave" has two opposite meanings - either to stick together or to split apart. Are there any other words that do the same thing?" https://www.theguardian.com/notesandqueries/query/0,5753,-13...
Ask HN: What will become of current population of AI's GPUs as they age?
What will be the actual product lifecycle of the millions of GPUs that are currently powering this generation of AI?

Perhaps we need a tiered lifecycle flow to move GPUs/compute to academia down through middle schools and such?

A non profit entity where the current owners of these AI focused GPUs/Compute can help these make it into the hands of more and more, and younger, generations being brought up into this new computing era being born/built?

If they are powerful enough to run GPT4, to the point where we are talking about fears of capability - surely, they will be powerful enough for a long time to educate, and perform useful work, for a long time to come?

Anyone aware of any discussions of such occurring within OpenAI, Anthropic. whomever else?
It doesn't work better for niche artists and it makes it very hard for new music to get revenue.
I think that's to prevent the cursor from hitting the edge of the screen and the player being unable to turn further (though I'm not certian if every game does it this way)
WKRP, Beavis and Butthead (obviously), even more-recent shows like Skins (UK) have had this problem.

Not software but when we got our first computer, it had DigitalBlasphemy wallpapers. 20-something years later, I bought a subscription to relive some of the nostalgia.
I don't think any game engine in use today except maybe the ultra-general ones would be without sections that are recompiled and reloaded live for gameplay code in this fashion. For all I know the ultra-general ones probably do it some stupidly complex way that sucks because they're overthinking things.

Most setups will likely stream both code and assets to wherever the game is running while you're developing as well, but I wouldn't necessarily call that trivial. Recompiling a shared library and hot reloading it if it's changed is (on the order of 20 or so lines), though, and I wouldn't expect any game to be developed without at least some code being reloaded this way.

While I haven't seen it as much, developing servers this way is also very doable, depending on how much you have to change data structures that have to be kept around.

Edit:

See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMSBRk5WG58 for an example of how trivial it is to get this using just your OS facilities (`stat` + `LoadLibrary`/`dlopen`). None of this stuff is new and it's certainly been used with C/C++ or any language like it for a very, very long time.
Looking at history, it seems trying to build a business model around a codec doesn't tend to work out very well. It's not clear what the investor would be investing in. It's a better horse.
> From our position, it's amazing to read the sort of nonsense the learned men of the day supposed

What "our position" are you talking about? There was (and in some cases, currently is) widespread opposition to a basic safety measure like covering your nose and mouth during a pandemic of a respiratory disease. You will regularly see videos of our supposedly enlightened populace losing their shit when someone else wears these basic respiratory protections.

It's always easier in hindsight to laugh at earlier populations and their seeming stupidity. I'm sure people in the future will be doing the same at our inability to contain the Covid pandemic.
Not really, although as usual, it depends. It doesn't seem to hurt bones: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6416492/ but it doesn't seem to help much either. There's evidence that running is actually good for your joints, as long as you don't keep running if you have an injury: https://www.nm.org/healthbeat/healthy-tips/fitness/is-runnin...

Running properly is part of the way to avoid injury.

I had 3 knee surgeries over the years and have arthritis in that knee and actually running with OA seems to be an ok thing to do, which seems to correlate with my experience that my knee pain is less when I run than when I don't.

As usual, there's lots of nuance and it depends on the person and the situation!
Yet another Japanese plane evacuation without people lugging backpacks & wheelies. Commendable work by the cabin crew and passengers.

Contrast that with some of the Spirit/Southwest/Qantas evacuation videos we have seen.

What is wrong with "inline"?

I do not think it is feasible to maintain all language versions in parallel for eternity. What would make porting this code to a newer standard difficult in this specific case?
For all practical purposes for a customer who doesn't do more than putting money in, it's just a storage and they know how much of it is protected if something happens to the bank. From their point of view their money is there, even if the implementation details are much more complicated.
I discounted that interpretation, because the planet we are standing on evidently does have a magnetic field.
Just to be clear, I do understand the new version of the method. I don't entirely know how it fits into the larger system, but that's to be expected when I literally don't have the source code.

When I cleaned it up, I took out some complexity which I believe was responsible for the bug, at the cost of some performance. According to GPT-4, the original version was checking file descriptors to decide when to do work. My version just does the work every 5ms.
Another real question is, within any "trillion" dollar company, what is the spread employee population between billionaires, millionaires, and those still living paycheck to paycheck?
People evacuating with luggage do not have perfect information from the future to know that their selfish decision is not going to kill people.

This makes perfect sense! I'll put this into the project roadmap, to leave a few pixels for clicking next to events on also in the week grid.
You can probably use pdftk to rotate every other page somehow.
>>Two and a half minutes might not be too long, but it can feel like an eternity when you’re forced to answer the same questions and upload the same documents. Over and over again.

Sounds like an opportunity for some automation — auto-fill the common fields and allow the applicant to focus on reading and writing the unique stuff for each job. Of course the fieldnames aren't standard, so probably needs some LLM-ish ingredients in the sauce
Hindsight is 20/20.

Look what happened in Sweden, they say the same about their intial measures and lost more people in the first year of the pandemic than any other scandinavian country.
Is it no different to you when the black box is created by an LLM rather than a company with guarantees of service and a legal entity you can go after in case of breach of contract?

Where does the trust in a binary spit out by an LLM come from? The binary is likely unique and therefore your trust can't be based on other users' experience, there likely isn't any financial incentive or risk on the part of the LLM should the binary have bugs or vulnerabilities, and you can't audit it if you wanted to.
Sometimes I feel like a space alien: I didn't watch an add since 2008 when I divorced and didn't need a TV any more.

It's hard, and many of us (myself included) and not great at it. That makes it seem easier to reach for the simulacrum. But at what cost?

Homo sapiens's superpower is social cooperation. My concern is that these systems will abet the existing social forces which seem to be causing unprecendented levels of isolation of adults, which will continue to drive smart people away from collaboration and towards solitude, at a level far beyond simple prefences would suggest.

We already have enough trouble hearing each other through the noise, and understanding what each other has to say. I don't have the answers but I'm looking for them and I do hope other humans will, too.
In GTA Vice City one of the first ways you can make money outside of missions is to sneak over to the main island, run over parking meters downtown and collect the money. It doesn't take long to collect enough to buy the cheap shack residence downtown, which is conveniently near the police helipad.
And those "institutions" are clearly working /s. These institutions exist to avoid relinquishing power to the people and their will, but of course we label democracy as "mob rule" when it doesn't suite us. Tyranny of those born in a different place!

Democracy has been historically unstable except for all the cases that it has been.

Thanks for the insight, some food for thought.

I would hope people exercise to a limited extent anyway, to the extent their bodies will try retain a baseline level of muscle-stength needed day to day.

As you've read on my other comment, I lost 20kg over 6 months on a low carb, low sugar, higher protein diet.
I started gyming about 4/5 months in and I personally attribute this gyming with a chain-reaction that led to me putting the weight back on and am now in a much worse position health wise, even muscle wise. This all due to practical reasons, such as increased appetite which upset the hard-fought dietary and hunger equilibrium I reached.

Exercising too is I'm sure definitely better but I feel is way more difficult and sets many, on the weightloss journey, up to fail.
It's almost inhuman how good some people can get at rapid and highly complex muscle movements with enough practise. What an amazing achievement.
Neither. It's "the two corporations who own each half of the work want to dictate the conduct of the other half". Same reason why Nintendo and Microsoft couldn't agree on who gets Goldeneye back in the Wii/360 era.

Absolutely!

I found a plugin a while back called "AI Diagrams" that generates whimsical.com diagrams for me. Combined with the "speech to text" systems in chatgpt means I can just start babbling about some topic and let it write it all down, collect it into documentation, and even spit out a few diagrams from it.

I generally have to spend like 10 minutes cleaning them up and rearranging them to look a bit more sane, but it's been a godsend!

Similarly I sometimes paste a bunch of code in and tell it to write some starter docs for this code, then I can go from there and clean it up manually, or just tell it what changes need to be made. (technically I tend to use editor plugins these days not copy+paste, but the idea is the same)

Other times I'll paste in docs and have it reformat them into something better. Like I recently took our ~3 year old README in a monorepo that goes over all the build and lint commands and had it rearrange everything into sets of markdown tables which displayed the data in a much easier to understand format.

I wouldn’t worry too much about the demand for programmers. Jevon’s paradox has played out enough times that I’m sure as the cost of code goes to zero the demand will continue to increase. Look forward to the day that your toilet paper comes with an API.
To Facebook's credit, Facebook really is investing in developing a new platform, which is more than you can say about Google, Apple, Amazon, etc.

The reality is that Horizon Worlds is a joke (maximum 20 players in a world and you trade players for geometry, a 20 player world is much smaller than an 8 player world.) Horizon Worlds doesn't let you import images, video or sound.

A VR world has to fit everything you can see in a headset. A really big game like Asgard's Wrath 2 (absolutely amazing) is like an open world game which is full of hidden loading screens and it's quite expensive to develop if you want it to feel open.

By not letting you load those kind of resources HW keeps the size of the world under control, plus it disappears pornography, copyright violations and a whole lot of trouble. It kills HW for me because I want to make content based on photography and visual art, and kills it for commercial users because McDonald's just has to put a Coca-Cola logo on the side of the cup.

The MQ3 is basically an Android phone you wear on your face and the mainstream way to deliver apps for it is the same as a mobile phone. Unlike Apple, you can sideload, in fact you can sideload many ordinary phone apps, such as the Tailscale client or the Denon HEOS client and they usually work. It's not less any open an environment than mobile.

On top of that you can create webpages with WebXR that appear in VR at the touch of the button and this framework

https://aframe.io/

you can make worlds that are browsable on phone, tablet and desktop but that you can enter with a VR headset. (Makes me think of a few kids TV shows where the characters can jump into books) These are compatible across a range of devices such as the Hololens 2, PCVR headsets, and even the Apple Vision Pro.

Google and Microsoft provide plenty of models for half-baked efforts that end in failure (every time a B2B startup gets bought by Google the competitors have a meeting of their salespeople the next day and say... "YOU'RE ON COMMISSION, YOU'RE GOING TO GET RICH!") Facebook is the one big tech company that is seriously investing in a new platform and they deserve some credit for it, whereas all the rest of them are so wrapped up in "business theater" and "technology theater" that nobody realizes Google hasn't made anything since they bought YouTube.
What we talk about when we talk about giving up
when you make a "fresh start" or grand resolution to do something, you get a rush of reward chemicals as if you actually did the thing. That's why so many people make resolutions and then barely ever keep them. Incremental, daily changes are much more difficult and less rewarding to those centers of our brain.

Why wouldn't they? Top artists don't earn that much off of Spotify either; it's promotion (like radio is / can be) for their more direct and lucrative sources of income, concerts, album sales, merchandise, and others.
Can you link to some of the studies that form this mound of evidence?

I tried a search on Google Scholar, but new information seems to dry up around 2021. After that I see a lot of people talking about it but no new evidence. This 2020 summary [0] found that much the research to that point was lacking—we've studied various components of UBI, but never all together (for example, many pilots were apparently means tested).

The biggest theoretical concern I have is inflation. The papers I can find (like this one [1]) agree that inflation will most likely occur, the question is how much. With a limited understanding of economics, I have a hard time imagining how giving everyone $1000/mo could do anything but raise prices on basic things until they are once again out of reach of our poorest people. We can't study that directly without a full scale test, but are you aware of attempts to address the question?

This is a great point. In addition, Spotify creates a much more distributed market for artists. I've found literally thousands of small independent artists that I would have never found through the filter of CD shops and record labels. Their service is curation, and it helps everyone (consumers and artists) -- except the record labels who lose market control.

I eyeroll every time I see someone here say "all the consumers are stupid because they don't behave exactly like I want them to behave, and I must be the right one"

> It's waterfall because of the cost structure of building. Every time you iterate physically, you are throwing a lot of money away in time and materials.

Also it's because of the financial structure. People invest a lot of money in something with a delayed, sometimes for years. Delay increases everyone's risk, increases interest expense, and defers revenue.
Sounds like one just needs to coat absolutely everything in their places, neighborhoods, businesses, etc. in TPPO and the like to change the noise floor.
I picked up Wolfenstein 3D on 5 1/4 floppy from a Dollar Store. Pretty good score for a 10 year old without internet access!
I still feel like a lot of variation that can be achieved if you dig pretty deep, but I do agree that it's difficult to do something meaningful that other people aren't also doing since everything can easily become "same-y looking". What's great about flow fields is that they're easy to understand and you can get pretty interesting results for not that much effort, making them a great and accessible introduction to generative art for people who haven't tried it before.
Which tab bar? I don't see anything particularly colored on my copy of MuseScore 4.2 (openSUSE Tumbleweed, KDE). There's a tab bar at the top (Home, Score, Publish) and it seems to follow the system colors. If both Dorico and MuseScore do this, they will end up with the same colors.

More specifically, apparently they are both based on Qt [1], so of course they will look a bit similar if they use the standard widgets.

Looking at screenshots of Dorico, I don't see any outstanding, shocking resemblance with MuseScore. Both tools have their visual identity.

Is it a personal opinion you have on this? Has someone written something on it this I could check out?

Anyway, I don't have much against clones. Which MuseScore and Dorico aren't.
