The only solution is to dispense pharma produced drugs freely to anyone who can't afford them.

Poor people would no longer need to steal for their daily dose, all would be provided by the state. The illegal market would disappear since you can't compete with $0 price.

You would have hard drugs vending machines on street corners, that you can access with your government provided drug card.
Capitalism is a strawman invented by Marx to attack. People are far more complex than his models.
Neat list of features but what about asset pipeline? How can I take stuff from material editor or Maya into Nebula? There are lots of engines with interesting features but with very thin content pipeline. Having worked on engines and games it's often the pipeline and tooling in general which makes engines great even when there are others more capable in terms of renderer features.
Ideally you don't ever rely on CI specific automation tooling to actually accomplish anything and instead just use it as a dumb "not my dev machine" to execute workflows.

You should always engineer things so you can fall back to something akin to:

./scripts/deploy_the_things

Ideally backed by a real build system and task engine ala Bazel, Gradle, whatever else floats your boat.

It also means you are free to move between different runners/CI providers and just have to work out how to re-plumb secrets/whatever.

GH actions/friends really provide minimal value, the fact they have convinced everyone that encoding task graphs into franken-YAML-bash is somehow good is one of the more egregious lies sold to the development community at large.
I used to use this trick when I worked as a photographer of used cars. You'd get some 10-20 fobs and be expected to walk a lot of ~300+ cars and take images of them. Holding the fob up to your chin was the trick to finding the right vehicle... assuming the battery wasn't dead.

I still use this trick today to find my car when I park somewhere I am unfamiliar with.
I'm always for people over financial entities and capital holders, however in this case it's pretty simple - you sell control to someone for a ton of money, so why on Earth would you expect to retain it forever? You literally got millions in exchange for having less shares and it not being "your" company.

Maby startups don't even need to take on seed investor money (could be self funded, smaller team, longer time before funding etc) - but founders obviously prefer to have a nice salary and soft landing. Or sometimes literally just as a marketing strategy "we are backed by x/y/z, this proves our value". This is the price to pay. What am I missing?
Ianal, but afaik one is required to release patches to the product itself only if product functionality is exposed to customers. If it is internal tool, patches I believe can stay internal. But if you want to offer, for example, hosted solution based on this product - then you are required to release modifications.
safety wire and cotter pins are preferred methods on aircraft.
no, this is just instructions coming down from the tippy top to do something. The reality is that politicians do not want to ever risk a cataclysmic incident happening under their guard with a disenfranchised population, I guess especially in more conscionable regions where voters won't react. The same thing happens even in DC a lot (high aesthetics budget to keep it clean) - The crux is that they know it will go back to the way it was so if you're not going to solve it doesn't seem like a good use of resources, although I'm sure residents might disagree. The only other thing that can propel it is an incident such as what happened in Seattle shooting and such then they go in as well.
Yes.

On /b/, all legal (in the US) content is permitted. It serves as a sort of containment board for the degenerates to shitpost, leaving other boards alone. Nobody takes any content from /b/ seriously, and the nickname for /b/ users is "/b/tards".

In fact, /b/ is just a small part of 4chan, one that most users actually loathe, but which seems to be the most highlighted in public consciousness. Probably due to its complete lack of censorship, which seems to be frowned upon in this day and age.
Yeah it’s definitely not normal. I’m in Seattle and visited Chicago and Boston over Christmas and it was night and day. Sure those cities have bad neighborhoods, but the downtown area actually seemed to enforce laws and there wasn’t people screaming on every block or encampments. Stores didn’t have intimidating security guards at the front door etc
This is correct, the first Windows 11 LTSC is expected in the latter half of this year.

No need to speculate, Github posts fairly detailed information on availability and outage causes https://github.blog/tag/github-availability-report/
I use the non-XT with dual WQHD monitors with no issues. But I also don’t play any shooters or other action games.
The thing is, I don't run my applications locally with a "local run command".

I prefer to have a local system set up just like the production server, but in a container.

Maybe using WSGI with MaxConnectionsPerChild=1 could be a solution? But that would start a new (for example) Django instance for every request. Not sure how fast Django starts.

Another option might be to send a HUP signal to Apache:

apachectl -k restart

That will only kill the worker threats. And when there are none (because another file save triggered it already), this operation might be almost free in terms of resource usage. This also would require WSGI or similar. Not sure if that is the standard approach for Django+Apache.
> so unstable for so long

Has it?

I’ve had hardly any problems. Occasional issues, but rarely have I been impacted to the extent I notice for more than say an hour…. maybe I notice it a couple times a year.

My internet access at home is more likely the issue when I hit GitHub issues.
> Give promising european talent the same amount of cash and it's likely they'd do as well.

I don't think so. The mentality in most of Europe is completely different. Most people don't strive for the extreme levels of success of companies like Google, Tesla or Apple, but are happy to merely get rich. Also, most gain beyond "merely rich" tends to be absorbed by governments here, not the founders. That severely hinders rapid growth.

The few people with a similar mindset to Americans either migrate there or end up selling to some American company before scaling.
Technically the state attorney general gets a say too, and the courts have the final say.

And as I learned while doing some consulting gigs at a life sciences multinational, the entry point to VB.NET.

The more advanced users would use VBA, and when that wasn't enough, ask the IT to get Visual Studio with VB.NET configured on their system.
> “The two who remained will just review AI content to make sure it’s acceptable,”

What a time to be alive.

AI will make so many things cheaper: translating, writing, coding, drawing... it's great! Customers will have the chance to pay the same price to access cheaper content! Who cares if the quality goes down, as long as profits go up? \o/
Internet is corporate now. Therefore it leads to corporations. Corporations lead to other corporations. Big platforms lead to big platforms.

Internet is ad bisness right now. Anything that is not monetized, falls into obscurity. You will not have the scale, budget, readers, followers without big money.

It is not a hostile "elite takeover", but it is organic result of big corporations entering the game.

You cannot moderate Internet for disinformation. Big brother cannot easily ban "words" "extremism" on the Internet, and cannot control speech. Social media platforms can moderate their contents, can ban people, and control what is being said, what is true, and what is not true. This produce a nice coherent version of world seen by big corporations, but is not entirely true. I think it is beneficial for corporations, elite, big brother to channel all communication through social platforms.

Internet cannot be personal and private any more. No corporation will have any incentive for that. It is impossible at personal level to have search engine. It requires corporation, or organization.

There are millions, and millions of the lost Internet. Google does not rank it, as it has difficulty to say what is important anymore. Most of the traffic is beyond scope of Google. Does Google knows what exactly goes through TikTok, discord? Probably it has some idea.

People themselves have changed. Most of the traffic goes to celebrity photos at Instagram, memes, logan paul videos. Nobody is interested in any form of writing/reading. Most of the Internet users are too dumb to comprehend anything what would interest 'us'.

Google creates a Internet bubble for everyone. It is really difficult to find anything interesting. It often leads to mainstream links. Maybe because it is more reliable, less chance of disinformation. Not sure.

Internet is a shopping mall right now, more than a place to find Interesting places. Corporations built roads toward their own shops. This starved creative people out of their small nests.

Google rolls out EEAT for SEO. What could any blog do to be relevant in EEAT? I think it can do nothing.

Internet is dead. Google is potemkin village.
Isn't L3 content limited to 720p for most content providers? Practically useless.

edit: Just to clarify. This is a good article, sorry about that. My perspective was from the content provider -- aka -- do they care if the lowest quality content is accessible via emulator generated keys.

What I don’t understand is why this isn’t just a rollback, or at worst a revert commit and redeploy. I can forgive an issue with a slightly obscure browser, but the fix should be trivial for Google engineers?
I honestly can’t tell if you’re serious or not, but this is in no way an actual solution.
you mean that most of the other popular huge Rails companies (GitLab, Shopify) use PostgreSQL? Basecamp uses MySQL tho
Well, git ops might not be impacted on Github, usual Github outages tend to be through Actions/the site, not the actual git operations. Doesn't seem like you can use a local copy but you can use Gitbucket/Gitlab.
Most of GitHub runs in its own data centers. Services like actions runners and Codespaces use Azure.
I am more inclined to take that as an argument for "most of Congress" insider trades rather than "Nancy doesn't". I will leave that here though, long political argument ahead if we keep going. Agreeing to disagree. Also, thank you for the link, these stats definitely give a more balanced view.
It's easier to blame <piece of technology> than to admit running a service at Github's scale is highly complex and takes deep expertise.
Been like that "forever" but also "depends on the graphic chip" meaning it wasn't universally supported. I've not come across a Windows machine with USB-C that can't support multiple displays using $20 hubs from Amazon (even cheap machines). Yet I had to carry multiple dongles for my MBP for multiple monitors.
Most modern clothes dryers work exactly like that.

> It may be possible for there to be an alien civilization so different in capabilities, goals, and mindset that we comprehend them no better than ants comprehend us. But I have a hard time believing that they would be so different from us that we wouldn't even be able to notice their presence if we were looking right at something they'd made or used somehow.

that is the second part of my answer, as soon as you can be noticeable you stop being comprehensible by those whose means of communications are less evolved.

you either can have a peer to peer communication, which is blocked by our capability (and currently speed of light)

or you are unable to comprehend more advanced means of communication.

again to my analogy, ant can see human impact on the planet, but it can't comprehend that it is human impact and not some different form of nature landscape.

> Maybe there is a galaxy-wide civilization but either they don't see the value in transforming the environment? Or maybe there are fundamental limits to technology of which we're not aware, such that no galaxy-wide civilization would ever be able to transform the environment?

if we are speculating here, I think civilizations akin to to ours are extremely common, there is no reason to think that we are special. We are just weak enough to not to be able to connect due to our technological limits.

I also think that advanced civs are pretty common, it is just we are unable to understand and detect them so we think the cosmos is empty.
Or even simpler, they have flags to deactivate loading that catalog, so the issue doesn't exist for them
Expr – 5 Years in the Making
Well we used to use a gigantic gravity filter from Berkey, and it was great! But I got tired of the extra work.

So after a while I realized I could just put the entire in-house system through charcoal systems at the supply side (we lucked out and had a supply line for just the home available instead of just one mains — the builder split the lines and exposed the home one in the garage just for this use case so I lucked out) so I bought a canister carbon filter and a pre-filter and put it in.

I change it about once a year and our water has been amazing. Every tap has super clean water coming out of it. I know this might not work everywhere but it’s been fantastic for us.
Those keys were downgraded to L3.
It would be nice if I could scroll the countries list.
Chat, what is your preferred AMD GPU vendor? I have had mixed results. My biggest gripe is acoustics - squealing, screeching, coil whine, etc. I've had mixed results with PowerColor, terrible results with Sapphire. I have an ASRock Taichi card (7900XTX) that is so large the pcb/frame began to bend and that introduced a noise into the fans. The support bracketry that came with the card was missing all hardware, so I ran without it for a while. Perhaps that is on me. I supported it with a snus can and it has slowly cooked itself back to being straight. I always prefer the aesthetic of the reference cards, but believe the aftermarket manufacturers do a better job with cooling.
a very weird definition of being lazy.
> On a plane you’re stuck in a seat in a noisy environment; surrounded by dozens if not hundreds of people you wish weren’t there; and the only thing you care about is making time go by as fast as possible.

Maybe that's why people don't want to use them on an airplane; they're not comfortable isolating themselves so heavily that they're not aware of the dozens of strangers around them, or of anything else.
What's the the Magnificent Seven?
That's L3, not L1.
> At some point we probably will have to throw in the towel, which would probably kill Boeing, at least for civilian flight.

Exactly why the MAX was "certified" to fly again, despite the fundamental issues uncovered after the two most recent crashes. That plane should never have been allowed to fly, full stop.

It goes a bit deeper than the MAX though.. The 787 also has.. ..issues. And the 777-X is also 4-5 years late with serious certification issues.

1. (According to my short research) 300$ in 2013 are a bit below 400$ nowadays, so you also kinda gotta take that into account.

2. Low-end GPUs have been/are being attempted to be mostly replaced by APUs (at least on the AMD side) which kinda makes sense.

3. Normal pricing has gone outta the window ever since the NFT craze (or demand if you wanna put it that way) and now the AI craze.
What a kind and helpful comment. Thank you!
TIS-100 was also excellent. It's actually harder than real asm.
I'm running it on an M2 Max with 96GB, and have plenty of room to spare. And it's fast. Faster than I can get responses from ChatGPT.
Yeah, this isn't just a games thing but a big company anything thing. Labor is the biggest expense, and if you can delegate that to someone else's payroll as a 3rd party to maintain, everyone wins (except possibly the worker if it turns into some exploited contractor role).

Also, I know most people think of console when they hear "AAA", but Unity rules the mobile space and that platform makes just as much money as consoles/pc these days. So when I say 'AAA" studios, I'm talking less about Blizzard and more about King, Zynga, and the like. It's especially true in Asia with Netmarble, Nexon, and Tencent (although a few more games these days are looking at Unreal even on mobile). They want support not just for development and maintaince, but to setup and scale up servers,
Hey! You can generate good content from AI if you know how to use it. Moreover, you can create content or at least an structure, and then edit or add specific content to generate more value :)
oh no, i am not arguing with anyone! damn these text don't capture any emotions!

yes, i agree with your statement as well! we "hypothesize" that not the entire population would be looking to get to know more startups but with passing time the number of people who want to check out new startups is rising. and to support it we can see the success Product Hunt has had. moreover, we have had some (not great) but some positive reactions toward the idea.

just that's all. i am almost done building the MVP so why just stop? well even if i fail, what i gotta lose here.

I agree with you, but let's play devil's advocate. People waiting already paid for the game, so the business value here is hard to justify. And $10k is a decent amount of $ for the labor involved.
I am not a lawyer and for all I know this could be “fair use”. I leave that to courts and legislators.

This claim by OpenAI seems false though:

“The company recently made … [an argument] to the UK House of Lords, claiming no AI system like ChatGPT can be built without access to copyrighted content.”

What does OpenAI want the system to do that requires copyrighted content? The universe of material out of copyright is extremely large. Is it not fit for the (unclear?) purpose or is it just more expensive to access??

Especially if they are not simultaneously able to eliminate the risk that the system then regurgitates it verbatim, which (IANAL!) looks like a copyright violation.

I would not want to kill this very promising (though wildly overrated) technology w/ bad regulations but copyright is important and should be respected.
Paywalled, but if the top answer isn't 'f---ing' then it's wrong.
The idea that picking low hanging fruit is bad is very confusing. We should pick those fruit and explore the possibilities of what we have now.

It’s not like big ideas are illegal. Anyone who has one finds themselves in an incredible environment to try them. Money may be less free than a few years ago, but you can still get funding for promising sounding stuff without having to deliver much in advance. More people than ever have access to the types of equipment needed to make hardware and software. Heck, today’s Phillip K Dick could self publish if others didn’t see the value in their work.

We do have incredible new technologies and big projects happening right now, too. Decarbonizing the electrical grid is a truly gigantic project that seems to be happening despite the best efforts of some to stop it. Personalized cancer antibodies are saving lives that would not have made it otherwise. We’re making strides into understanding what it means to be conscious and intelligent through AI research, even judging current efforts to be insufficient is a kind of philosophical argument that is common now. Talking about the death of space exploration as we launch more sophisticated and numerous payloads than ever into orbit is just absurd. Private companies are in a space race, for crying out loud.

This article seems to be misguided, an assessment of someone who is looking at two decades of progress in the past and judging it against this year, which just started. Look at 2004 to now and tell me that the world hasn’t changed.
You can on mine, but you can't daisy chain them with thunderbolt like you can on Winders.
If it doesn't get very cold in winter that is ideal for a heat pump. Heat pumps lose efficiency as it gets cold, and even the best stop working completely at somewhere around -20. If it might get that cold you need a backup source of heat.

HVAC companies don't like heat pumps because they cost more (mostly for no good reason - but you may need a larger heat pump and air conditioner), don't put out as warm of air as a gas furnace, and are slow to change temperatures (don't not get a setback thermostat with a heat pump!). Customers do not understand them and end up unhappy and complain about them. However if you get one anyway understanding the limits you will save a lot of money.

One of the reasons I never ever consider AMD hardware when I'm looking to buy something is because the naming schemes do not make any sense.

For example: Did you know some Ryzen 7000 CPUs, introduced with the Zen 4 architecture, are Zen 2 and Zen 3 and also Zen 3+?[1] Did you know Ryzen 3000 spans Zen, Zen+, and Zen 2?[2]

And here's the kicker: Ryzen 5000 is the 4th generation of Ryzen CPUs, based on Zen 3 which is the 4th generation of Zen, except the Ryzen APUs which are based on Zen 2 which is the 3rd generation of Zen.

Oh by the way, Zen 4 is the 6th generation of Zen.

Yeah. I very sincerely ain't got time for this fucking nonsense.

Hey Hacker News,

We're hosting a 3-day micro-incubator event, Jan 26-28 near Moorgate in London. The gist is you arrive with an idea for a new AI product, form a team, validate your idea, build an MVP, and pitch to a panel of judges. All in a weekend.

We'll also have a ton of experienced mentors and judges, including Anthony Rose (SeedLegals), Darren Murphy (Director at Antler), and Ben Legg (ex-COO of Google). You can check out the full list at www.phaseone.tech

We still have a few tickets left, and you can grab one at lu.ma/launchweekendai

The code HACKERNEWS will get you £25 off too

Any questions just drop them in the thread. You can also book time in my calendly at calendly.com/jackbattersby if you want to discuss anything :)

Looking forward to building with you this January!

Altman got an immediate counter offer from his company's main commercial backer, his staff threatening to leave if he wasn't reinstated, his rivals off the board and all he had to do to return was promise to be better behaved in future.

I think most founders who are at loggerheads with their board can only dream of being fired like Sam Altman
