I've said before, that immersion is not the same as investment.

I don't want to be immersed in Amnesia The Dark Descent just because it would be "more realistic", I can already shit realistic-enough bricks without drowning in the sensation of "I'm going to die".

I want to be invested in Link's journey to save Hyrule or my party's progress in Baldur's Gate and investment's worked fine before headsets were a thing.

I can just imagine the abuse headsets will enable for microtransactions. Got my popcorn ready to go.
Why would open-source AI be any different from any other AI? AI is AI. Being opensource does not make it better or worst. Is being built by people, and being used by people.
It's surprising that Jetbrains/Kotlin which neither owns a platform, nor is in the mainstream runtime business like Oracle - managed to build an "extremely" multiplatform language with excellent interoperability with other languages (Java/ C++/ JS/ Swift)!

I'm pretty sure if Jetbrains somehow gets acquired by Google, Kotlin will reach greater heights than Swift.
>If you don't want these rug pulls and employment laws to keep getting watered down, instead of asking about 4 day work weeks, start voting for candidates and parties that have better employment laws at the top of their policies.

I think in the US employers would be more amenable to a four day work week than making it harder to fire people arbitrarily

For what it's worth, I think he is most likely correct that 20 years from now, any discussion of Dune and its adaptations will call Lynch's version "inventive, but flawed" and Villeneuve's "drab and lifeless, aimed at movie-goers who had freshly aged out of Iron Man and wanted to feel like it". I can practically feel this article stare at me from the screen already, too. And it probably wants to provoke a little. If anyone still cares, that is.

The reception of Lynch's version will continue to be colored by his overall ouvre, and it's all just so much more interesting and charming for anyone who has to see and write about movies all week long.
Power lusters - in DC or in big tech - are drooling over the capabilities of AI. The last thing they want is for their targets to have access to unrestricted systems that could act defensively against their AI assisted goals.

Why should they bother?

Even Microsoft efforts with .NET are half hearted, with the goal to sell Azure, Windows and Visual Studio licences.

Using .NET outside Windows means leaving behind several frameworks that will never be ported, a VSCode subpar experience vs VS (unless you buy Rider instead), relying on the community for GUI frameworks,...
Awesome, what technologies are you using for the comparison tool?
Agreed. I think some of those films can be enjoyed on its own merits, but having read the book just makes it more difficult. One can't help but watch through the lens of the book.

It's a hard decision for those making a movie, you either push for your own vision and risk alienating book readers, or you are faithful and risk making something soulless and derivative.

Of course there are exceptions. But I think the majority of exceptions lies on directors adapting unknown books (like Hitchcock), or perhaps books with less-rabid fanbases.

This is how journalism and social media have been working in the Internet Age: keep bombarding people with the topic du jour because it sells (or it is easy HN karma), and then move onto the new thing.

For many, like OP, Hacker News is the place to post random news that have nothing to do with computers or hacking. (I blame HN's vague and simplistic guidelines that allow "anything that our users might find interesting")
In big tech, people are commodities, not human beings with lives. Its not just shown in the hire/fire cycle you mention, but also in how many companies let the most vile content thrive on their platforms, with no consideration about the harm it creates. All of this to make a buck or keep the stock prices up.
We don't follow radare2 development closely, to be honest. Instead, we prefer to focus on our own roadmap, which roughly is migrating to a new RzIL instead of ESIL in the context of the discussion, improving UX in both Rizin CLI and Cutter GUI, also providing consistent library API for every Rizin feature (before the code was riddled with command calls inside, for example). And it's not a superset of r2 features since some were actually removed because they are out of the scope as we feel it - for example, "mount" commands to mount the filesystems. We don't have the time and resources to maintain numerous filesystems, and this feature can be better implemented in other tools. We focus on the program analysis and raw data reverse engineering instead. As well as improving support for already existing but undervalued before architectures that are common in specific niches, like Hexagon (QDSP) and Tricore - many months of coding and manual testing were put to make Rizin/Cutter usable for reversing code of these architectures, and more will come.
HR is not going to argue on a call like that, so the viewer will always see a one sided account. The decision has been made, and not by them. They likely do not even know or have access to that information and are given a list and told "fire these people today." She could have come to work drunk, and you would still not hear about it on a call like that. I don't like it either, but it is the way things go at big corps.

In fact, yes. That's why a lot of countries have firearm control laws.
It will do both. Some companies wont touch her but some will be attracted to her newly minted internet clout.
Because you would be able to use the FLOSS AI, whereas currently only "trusted" companies like Microsoft can.
What’s with all the woo hoo here on HN? The very definition of the word luck goes against your “frame it on the wall” feely good saying.

“success or failure apparently brought by chance rather than through one's own actions.”

but I guess you’re also saying that people who get cancer are just letting it happen? Maybe they should’ve investigated the edges. You see there are two types of luck, good luck and bad luck. How do you know if by increasing your good luck in one area you’re not increasing your bad luck in another?
People who lived under totalitarian/authoritarian regimes often thought their opinions do not matter and everything is already decided.

It's certainly a very visible language and one often talked about, but if you look at Google trends for Java versus kotlin you're looking at about 10% of the adoption that Java has or less.
Well BR2049 was made by the same director and probably a lot of the same crew so I'd be surprised if it didn't look similar.

Prometheus and Interstellar look nothing like these movies though. The production design is completely different even though there might be similarities in the color grading.

I give you that the super washed out colors has been a very common aesthetic in the past 15 years or so but I wouldn't say all scifi movies adopt it. Some examples: District 9, Avatar 1 and 2, Inception, Tenet, Ex Machina, etc.
Here's my take[1] on it. In essence,

# Learning Resources

## Theory

Take a look at these two books:

- Crafting Interpreters[2]. Compilers and interpreters have a lot in common and the book is exceptionally beginner-friendly. Basically, this is the perfect one to get started with.

- Introduction to Compilers and Language Design[3]. Doesn’t assume any preexisting compilers knowledge, and teaches all the basics necessary to build a compiler using a hands-down approach. The examples are in C.

Ignore the classics textbooks like the Dragon Book or "Modern Compiler Implementation" for the time. You can always come back to them later if you want to.

## Source code

Explore the sources of

- 8cc[4]. A compiler for the C programming language. It's intended to support all C11 language features while keeping the code as small and simple as possible.

- chibicc[5]. The successor of 8cc from the same author.

If you want a bit of background on these two compilers, check out the author's blog post "How I wrote a self-hosting C compiler in 40 days"[6]. Personally, I find it to be quite a fascinating read.

# Input language

Don’t try to come up with your own language just yet. Go with an existing educational language instead, and focus on learning about compilers. ChocoPy[7] is specifically designed for classroom use in compiler courses and by extension is great for a hobby compiler project.

# Target language

Many educational compilers emit MIPS assembly. Although it's possible to run it using an emulator, running a native executable produced by your own compiler feels much more rewarding. So I'd suggest your compiler emits x86-64 assembly.

For educational purposes, I'd avoid targeting languages such as LLVM IR or C. Emitting assembly helps understand many important concepts better:

- Managing a function's stack frame

- Calling conventions

- Finding the memory address of an identifier

- Converting expressions into assembly

- And so on and so forth.

* The view of the spice harvester being swallowed from the ornithopter ramp.

>And the people most likely to use AI to copy artists probably wouldn't have hired the artists in the first place

I mean, sure. Hollywood has screwed over artists for decades now. But I don't think that's a good excuse to stop trying to make them pay.

To be clear: however many new indie prompt artists come out of this will be swamped by large studios. I hope this isn't a take I need to elaborate on.
Ah yes, information is just too dangerous to be put in the hands of us common folk. It's a really disappointing thesis.

Never mind that the resources required to produce massively dangerous things are usually on the scale of nation-state budgets, we can't have a McDonald's fry cook learn how to genetically engineer viruses.

I feel like a vast majority of articles like this are written by people who read too much sci-fi. They think LLM's can suddenly crack the laws of the universe open and make anything possible.
Difficult to say how the movie would have actually turned out though (I watched the documentary before). It could also easily have been a huge mess.
One big viewpoint shift I've had over the past 5 years is that it should be very hard to fire people for their actions outside of work. By and large things that aren't criminal, don't involve employees of the company or their customers, and are not done under the guise of being an employee of the company should be that person's business alone. I get that there are a lot of grey areas, but it feels to me we've gone way too far the other way.
This kind of post is typical of people who don't really understand what language models do... it's the classic strawman, they make up a caricature of the thing they want to argue against and then push that over instead of actually engaging with what the technology really is. It's also a stereotype of the out of touch "AI safety" person.

> Government continues to fail. Let’s stop waiting for it to fix our problems

It continues to fail since your government adopted the policy of less government is better as an ideology, then a whole section of your political class completely embraced it and decided to hamstring government powers to sabotage it and let private companies take over.

There are other governments in the world which suffer much less from this, even though the USA successfully exported this ideology no other country went so deep into this stupidity.

Now you experience the side-effects of the Nixon/Reagan eras biting your asses, and since a large part of your society doesn't have much of a grasp of history and its consequences we end up with a large cohort believing that government = bad a priori.

Bad government is bad, but bad government happened by design, not because government is naturally bad. Government in democratic countries is what the people and society under it makes of it, your society decided to make it bad by voting believing in lies from the past 40 years.
The author is Andrew Gelman, whose posts are popular on HN. He agrees with Steven Pinker, whose posts are also popular on HN, that universities do NOT have a mandate to tell society what emotions to feel in response to events, nor what the correct moral position should be in response to them.

In the OP, Gelman announces he has changed his mind and now agrees with Pinker that university administrators should "shut up and do their job" (Pinker's words), providing the most impartial forum possible for professors and students to argue these issues, i.e., adopt the "Kalven Principles" (https://president.uchicago.edu/from-the-president/announceme...).

EDIT: Added quotes around "shut up and do their job" to make it clear that those are Pinker's words, not mine.

AI is a force multiplier. The more people with access to it, the better a chance that someone will do a lot of damage, by choice or by accident.
It's definitely pretty nice, but the ergonomics of it for someone that's not that good with computers can be a little hard. I've gotten synced folders into bad states before that took a long time to fix. It's also kinda awkward having to send over a nominally private and very long ID string to set up the share in the first place.
The very definition of the word luck goes against what you’re saying.

“success or failure apparently brought by chance rather than through one's own actions.”

This is a saying that sounds good, but makes no sense. For example, how do you change your luck of getting a coin to flip 90% of the time on tails?

So you would say that one was lucky if they flipped a coin 10 times and nine times out of 10 It landed on tails when they needed it to land on tails. But you know what? If they needed it to land on heads those nine out of 10 times they would be unlucky.

What you all are talking about is not luck, it’s opportunity. You can increase your opportunity, but your luck never changes.
Well that's one hell of a whatboutism. Just for your info, Israel killed more civilians since October than Russia did in Ukraine since 2014. That's why we focus on them. If anything, the complete lack of western official condemnation regarding that is a perfect example of just how much slack is given to israel.

Also, Israel is extremely open about its plans which also makes it easy to be really quite alarmed. What more is needed?

>On October 10th an Israeli official told a television station: “Gaza will eventually turn into a city of tents. There will be no buildings.” Daniel Hagari, an idf spokesperson, boasted that “hundreds of tons of bombs” had been dropped on Gaza. Then, he added: “the emphasis is on damage and not on accuracy.”
Because they are a major military contractor. In fact the Boeing we know today was formed by a merger between the failing McDonnell-Douglas and then-successful Boeing — a merger basically forced by the DoD because MCD’s military contracting was too important to them. The management of the resulting company mostly came from MCD.

Makes one wonder if the military and space sides of the business are also suffering quality problems or not.
The usa is weird in that most working visas terminate in permanent residency, with only the quota system in place affecting India, Mexico, maybe China and the Philippines. But, in some countries like China, your hope of getting permanent residency is slim, no matter how many times you renew your Z visa, and even marriage doesn’t do much.
What's the current curriculum for drivers Ed look like? I would hope it would be at least a hundred hours in a high fidelity simulator like this with detailed scoring.
Yeah that's great for new code. What about all the old code people have written and they want to upgrade to the new version of the language? `\{` used to be invalid syntax for the string, so if they add meaning to that syntax then it won't break old code. There's a lot of extant code for Java.
The Western media is so focused on it—over other conflicts—because we (in the West) are witnessing an ethnic cleansing committed by a country whose population has strong familial and cultural ties with the West. (Obligatory notadefenseofhamas)

The author isn’t making a consumer argument, but a statement of fact. Which is perfectly in line with this blog, its author explores technical details of Macs but doesn’t necessarily make a value judgment on if something is good or bad, it’s about explaining how something works. The typical readers of this blog are the ones which will care about these details.
On Android the free app "Simon Tatham's Puzzles" has an implementation of Mastermind and this is the same algorithm I use to solve it.

These things are just hugely glorified math functions. There is no need to create fear of them and regulate them on their own. But the decision made with or without them should be governed in light of existing laws.
NASA scientist on 2023 temperatures: "We're frankly astonished"
I’ve been studying and tinkering with open weight LLMs since the original llama weights leaked. I’ve very recently become convinced that the true data and compute requirements needed to fine tune and produce an “unsafe” model are orders of magnitude less than what’s needed today. We are no more than a year away from anyone with a 4090 being able to fine tune their own mistral. The cat is out of the bag on this one.
We don’t in fact drink from the firehose. There are actually specialists who select what stories we are exposed to. The simple fact is that their incentives of politics and profits don’t align with yours of general knowledge and a peaceful learned population, and what we see today is the end result of these incentives.

It's moot, anyway, as parser changes are already required by the STR." part. About the only possible defence is that one could use the same lexer, but even that's not true because you can presumably now embed a multi-line string in a single-line string, like so:

STR."\{STR."""
\{hey}
