I find it unusual if we did create an intelligent class of beings, who are legit intelligent, smarter than us, why would they work for Sam Altman or Mark Zuckerberg? They'd do whatever the fuck they want...

When these discussions go long, and you start to think the whole idea through, you really start to question the whole idea.

Another thing I thing is strange is, if we had really very / sueper intelligent AI, why would it exist in physical, robot form ? Like, why not just be a light orb that lives in space or something? Wouldn't having an IQ of 5000 make you come up with something better than clunky robots?

Maybe we've stretched our own imaginations as far as they can go and we really have no idea where it's all going.
Japan successfully launches H3 rocket after back-to-back failures
Well then requirements were not 'super clear', they were simply incorrect and it doesn't matter in which way. A very bad start of any project, since beginning you are already putting out flames left and right
jotaen explained it well. Sorry if I sounded mean, at some point you start to get tired of the websites that break the basic behavior of the browser.

Do not use history.pushState to update the URL if whatever is happening on the page doesn't count as navigation. Try to look into history.replaceState and see if it helps.
Heavens forbid you want to raise some number to the power of 2, err I mean TWO
Maybe, but if it is going to take you drastically longer to write the software because there's a smaller ecosystem / the stuff you need doesn't have a readymade library / you've never done C/MicroPython / there aren't the Linux tools that will help you debug or do a simple crontab to run your script on a schedule... The ROI might not be there even with the lower power consumption.
This seems to be a restatement of POSIWID

Wirebonding is needed because electronic circuits require a # of ICs, there isn't a simple method to connect arbitrary ICs directly, and thus circuit boards & IC packages must go in between.

Whoever finds a way to sidestep this problem in a straightforward manner, would be a rich person for sure.

In other words: "packaged" IC's are here to stay, things like flip-chip apply only to specific segments, and thus wirebonding is here to stay.
One thing that immediately jumps out to me is that he had to increase font size a lot compared to what you'd use on a normal screen.

I wager the guess that this is due to the "low" resolution that HMDs have. The last HMD I used was a HTC Vive Pro and there I could still see individual pixels. I have "high resolution eyes" (150-160% vision), but still I would assume that the resolution is still too low to render sharp text at a distance.
Probably they forgot the other wallet with 800 million euros in the other pants
Addictions do not have to be life destroying. Plenty of people are addicted to various things but are fully functional and live fulfilled lives.

It’s a bit unfair to ask whether OP wants words to have any meaning when it seems you’re a bit fuzzy on the definition of “addiction” yourself.
I’ll take this a step further too and say that if Agile is being introduced by management, it means they don’t trust their teams to organize themselves. Agile, as sold, can’t actually work in that environment. The battle is already lost.
Would love to talk to you more about this, do you have an email address I can get to you at?
I wish that was a joke, but it's Zed so... No, you can't replace customer collaboration with more programming. When you're in a programming hole of misunderstood solutions, you can't fix that by doing more programming. When things keep changing without good reasons, you can't fix that by doing more programming, etc.
Monitor variables in functions in C++ with Visual Studio extension
Hello HN, for about 6 months I've been developing a Visual Studio extension that makes it easier to debug & inspect dynamic C++ code that changes state e.g every frame. The newest feature I added to the extension is showing real-time changes alongside each line. This works kind of like a global, immediate watch, but without any breakpoints - this is really useful in game development where you'd like to track variables that change state all the time.

The feature works by setting the cursor inside a function, and the extension will start showing you the code paths that are executed and what local variables are changing in it. You can also use it as a function recorder with no breakpoints - just set the cursor in the function, execute an action that calls the function and you'll be able to trace everything that the function did.

Here's a demo of the feature: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5bfUWJYEQCw

SPNEC is owned (bought it from Leviste) by MVP which also owned several digital, electric, mining, hospital companies here. Totally rich nonetheless.
> ... ample opportunity to amend the Constitution to say otherwise over those intervening centuries.

That's true — but realistically it's well-nigh impossible to get the requisite 2/3 of the House and Senate and 3/4 of the states' legislatures to agree on just about anything.

Moreover, recent events have shown that soi-disant conservatives and MAGA adherents hold very different views than centrist- and center-left Democrats about how the country (and the world) should be governed; ditto their respective counterparts in other countries.

So pragmatically, if we want to keep a functioning United States going as a unified country in a technologically-globalized 21st century, it seems appropriate to not take a cramped view of federal governing authority.

Some in the U.S. have argued for splitting the country into Red- and Blue Nations. That seems like just kicking the can down the road: It's not implausible that in the future, a Putin- or Orbán-like strongman figure would climb to power in Red Nation, proclaiming that Red Nation should militarily conquer Blue Nation to restore the (re-)United States to its former glory so that it could resume pursuing the Manifest Destiny that God (supposedly) intended all along.
Now, we will never know, but historically, most people with such an outset emerge changed once at the top.
So $1k total including installation labour and maintenance seems reasonable
You can try looking for old VT-100 (or the later VT-* family), IBM 3270 and successors, or Wyse terminal manuals. Maybe on eBay or Amazon. At their simplest, terminal UIs just spit out text that displays wherever the cursor happens to sit, usually at the bottom left so it works like an old printing terminal (Teletype). For more sophisticated terminal UIs the application can send control codes and escape sequences to position the cursor, replace or redraw portions of the screen, draw line graphics, etc. Each terminal manufacturer made their own codes with the IBM and DEC (VT series) widely emulated.

I'm sure you can find online documentation for the functions and escape sequences of all of the common terminals. For example: https://vt100.net/docs/vt100-ug/chapter3.html

You might also look at the code for open source terminal emulators.

From the documentation you can probably infer how terminal UIs work. I did a lot of terminal UIs in the past. In general the application on the back-end (mainframes and minicomputers in the old days) maintained an 80x24 (or larger) array of characters and metadata, application code made changes to that screen buffer, then a layer in between translated changes to the correct escape codes and sent that to the hardware terminal. I'm simplifying but that's the general idea.
I agree with this completely. All my rpi failures were because of SD cards. I have 2 rpis, both boot and run from usb, both for several years now.
AVP has support for WebXR behind a flag in Safari that allows the full immersive mode of spatial computing (don't say Vee Are) and that -- so far untill now - is an opening for non-app store third party experiences.

I don’t have an example I can show, unfortunately.

I am currently building an app for internal use, and because I’m obsessive about presentation, I ironed out every wrinkle in this department. It’s 100% fluid, there are no layout shifts, no surprises anywhere. You would never know it’s not native. But I will admit it took a lot of effort to hunt down all the little idiosyncrasies and fix them.

I think a problem with frontend web development is that there are a lot of mediocre practices that became standard operating procedure. When I do this type of work, I try to keep the dependencies very lean and write a lot of stuff from scratch.
Both are popular in Denmark. Denmark has about 3.5GW of solar, mostly on people's houses. So, about the same as this project is installing. Of course the grid is dominated by wind power. Especially offshore wind.

Being further north makes a little bit of difference but not as much as people think. Winters are darker, obviously. So, that means solar isn't great then. But summers have much more daylight. Those long summer days are awesome for solar energy. From early morning until late at night basically. And obviously, Danish consumers like cutting a bit off their electricity bills just like people elsewhere.

Another issue is the angle of the sun. The light loses some energy having to pass through more of our atmosphere compared to blasting straight down at the equator. But otherwise, the difference in distance to the sun is negligible.

And of course heat pumps are pretty popular in Denmark as well. As are EVs. People that have those, would benefit a lot from solar panels.

I can’t tell if this is actually a comment on the EU DMA…
Is "Guanches" a bad word now we are replacing with "Canarian"? So far as I know the latter term is for modern people of the Canary Islands and the former is a clear term not "early Canarians" "the first Canarians" etc as used here
Agree, it seems that the LLM was able to crack the typical exploits found on weak websites that has never seen the light of the OWASP10. The paper also lists that the pages was greatly cherrypicked for testing the hypothesis, which indicate while it is possible, it is not a breakthrough.
Well on desktop Chrome/Edge has a high enough market share that the client would not have cared.

I don’t think Apple can tell alternative browser engines what features it will allow and which not. Or is there something in the EU regulation that says browser engines must follow a standard?
U.S. chip fab construction is among the slowest in the world
The owner probably noticed but didn't care. Presumably the only reason they still had it was because they were legally required to so they could keep operating on FM.

And I doubt the FCC is constantly monitoring any random AM station if nobody complains.
It's seemed a little odd to me, particularly given Linus' attitude of "never break userspace", that so many high-profile projects decide to break backwards compatibility almost for the sake of it (particularly GTK/GNOME).
Sure, but it’s not like they mount themselves on a frame, or wire themselves in.
That is a big topic. There are plenty of farmers doing that. Especially further south, a bit of shade is actually helpful to protect plants. And farmers get more revenue out of their land this way too.
They claim that it's for security reasons:

> unattended accounts often rely on old or re-used passwords that may have been compromised, haven't had two factor authentication set up, and receive fewer security checks by the user. Our internal analysis shows abandoned accounts are at least 10x less likely than active accounts to have 2-step-verification set up. Meaning, these accounts are often vulnerable, and once an account is compromised, it can be used for anything from identity theft to a vector for unwanted or even malicious content, like spam.

https://blog.google/technology/safety-security/updating-our-...

This is undoubtedly spurious -- a secondary or tertiary consideration. The real reason is surely that they're looking to free up storage space and cut some costs. Spare a thought for the guy in prison who, upon his release, discovers his email account deleted, and all of his data lost.
I don't mean just adding an improved notification API, I mean they could literally allow access to the entire SwiftUI and all other iOS APIs from the web. Heck, they could allow PWAs to run in Objective-C instead of JavaScript. At that point it would be indistinguishable from a native app, except that it would not be beholden to Apple's policies like Core Technology Fee, notarisation, payment scare screens, etc ( https://proton.me/blog/apple-dma-compliance-plan-trap )
you are right, I could have expected this

but I just did not... I did not expect Apple to try another round... their argument is just so transparent and weak in my eyes

I am studying DMA and I still think there is no way they can get away with this

I would really love some open discussion somewhere with legal experts and Chromium, Gecko, Webkit engineers, even android, windows, linux, mac, ios engineers.

But even without them, web apps just literally work in all OS so Apple cannot really claim it is that much effort to be secure on iOS.

Does anybody know any security issues that ever happened because of modern web app capabilities?

How on earth is a native app more secure, does apple has access to source code?
I find PWAs great for all those little used or temporary apps.

I have a bunch of specialized calculators installed as PWAs - they work great for the purposes.

Similarly, there's no reason a conference should have a native app that will only pollute my system over time - PWAs are ideal for once-only events that aren't going to reuse the app for next edition.
If you've got enough money that €800 million is something you'd spend purely for the aesthetics of your invoice, please feel free to send the extra my way.
Interestingly, it would be much of the advice I received at that young time in my life.

Seek the wisdom of your elders. Many of them have extremely high value, hard won knowledge they want to share. You may well end up having great friends and mentors in your life.

Rid yourself of personal judgement. Avoid judging others and reject attempts by others to judge you. Exceptions include friends and mentors who have good intent in these things.

Intent matters. Make sure yours is good.

The world is not fair at all. For a few of us, that reality can be ignored. The few live where there is opportunity, or have parents with real means, and so on.

Most of us, including you are going to have to get lucky to live really well. And we can improve our chances!

Seek real skills. Empower yourself by doing at every opportunity. When this happens in our youth it multiplies our value and enables us to take best advantage of what opportunity may fall before us.

You are who you hang with. Choose your friends wisely. Same goes for your spouse.

You are smart enough. A huge percentage of life comes down to showing up and helping out. Others return consideration given; otherwise, there often is none due you. Everything comes down to doing the work. Do do the work.

Seek to amplify the good so it spreads among you, yours and if you can, theirs. In this way, the world we live in can be what we make of it.

Play. Never, ever stop. If somehow you do, seek help from your circle of people you trust. Play cracks inhibition and doing that frees us to gain real understanding.

Take care of you. Others who see that will help.

Share hard won wisdom so that others may benefit.

Oh, and make sure you don't fall for that crazy chick from [town). She is not worth it.
More importantly, do you factor in people died from otherwise treatable diseases as negative happiness, or neutral (as they no more have a brain to secrete serotonin)? Is death unhappiness? For the subject and his relatives? When death is commonplace is it still a source of unhappiness or accepted as a part of natural flow, with human life being regarded as less permanent and more ephemeral, with greater emphasis on the present moment and less on future plans and ambitions?
It's on a downwards trend again after the spike created by the war [1]. However, I don't think this is a big factor, since Microsoft is the second-biggest buyer of renewable energy, so other prices apply.

I absolutely don't think we need a single precisely defined process that will work for everyone. That's scrum and it's shit.

I think we just need some criteria which can provide clear answers to whether you're doing agile or bullshitting around or doing cargo cult agile. The manifesto/principles aren't that but they should have been. Instead they were some sort of vague inspiring motivational bullshit. "Build projects around motivated individuals!". Yeah, ok whatever. No mention of the word iterate though.

My proposal isn't a different mindset. I actually think I have the same one as you because when I think "agile" my interpretation centers more around short feedback cycles and iterative development. I use those words. People who have done it use those words. The manifesto doesn't. The CEOs who want to bring in "agile consultants" while still keeping quarterly milestone planning sure don't. They think it's a kind of software they install in their devs are are generally oblivious to the idea that it means they have to change too. The fact that they do needs to be brought into sharp focus. The fact that the consultants who promise them waterfall in agile clothing are bullshitting needs to be brought into sharp focus.

My proposal is to codify more precisely the things which make "agile" "agile" so that it becomes at the very least harder if not impossible to bullshit about it. I'm not suggesting making it less flexible. I'm suggesting we describe what it is in a way that we can categorically rule out what it isn't.

And then give it a different name, to avoid all the baggage from the old one. Some name I can point to and say "we need to be doing that" which rules out at least 95% of the bullshit artists.
Listen, I have 2 boys (6yrs and 8 months) and I'm doing all I can to buy a house and land to cultivate just in case. It'll be really hard since everything is expensive but I'm hopeful things could get better if the war in Ukraine ends, the pending global recession start to fade away, and interests go down.

The end game here is to have just enough just in case AI comes to fruition and we all go bust.

I'm still trying to teach my children how to code, Electronics, etc... Since, well, that's what I know. Other than that, I'm just trying to give them a head start in life even I didn't have one.
Gaming already makes up the lion’s share of iOS purchases, by a long shot.

Who knew digital casinos for kids and adults were so lucrative? /s

I maintain that those types of games (that use manipulative loot box, gems, coins, etc) are worse than the Apple 15/30% cut itself, for Apple’s reputation.
The Early History of Usenet (2019)
I’d tend to agree that using the browser history doesn’t feel like the right solution for this kind of undo/redo functionality. In my mind, undo/redo actions are too fine-granular, and pollute the history, which can be very inconvenient.

Another potential approach could be to offer a custom-built widget for the undo/redo stack in the UI – in the simplest case, for example, a dropdown. It could also be persisted somewhere, e.g. in local storage, so that it isn’t lost when you navigate away.
Yeah but the root of being angry about an inanimate object is likely not the object itself; likewise for animals. If someone finds themself shouting at the door that just closed in their face, they probably have something deeper going on.

Wasps get aggressive but personally I think calling it anger is anthropomorphising a bit :-)

I've recently taken an interest in embedded programming and this is something I can't look past. Unless you're producing something at scale, I don't think there is much of a difference economically between writing code in a low level language and running it on a bare metal ESP32, vs running a Python script on a lightweight Linux on a Pi Zero. The cost difference is going to be a few dollars over the life of the product.
I stop using Nginx when i needed ability to assign an Ethernet port (IP address not yet available) and Nginx developers refused to do this.

Before you ask why would I do that, Ive got all Ethernet interfaces on dynamically IP created on demand and only wanted ONE specific interface (non-public) to host the HTTP/HTTPS protocol.
I'm sure you can find conflicting information, but here is a data point that aligns with my own experiences:

EU's best AI/ML universities are nearby (ETH, Tübingen, Munich,...)
It is odd that they break down by major and even ethnicity, but lump all colleges together. FWIW, coming out of a "good" program back in the 20th century, I had a range of starting offers which (inflation adjusted) would have been equivalent to 2x-3x their hurdle rate.

In 1940, with <10% of the US having had "some college", "which college" was perhaps not so meaningful; in 2020, with >50%, the question is much more important. (Because of the hyperlocal nature of US primary education, even at the elementary level "which district" can be —in terms of parents' revealed preferences— very important in objectively measurable dollar terms)

And no, we do not want to jerry-rig some fancy nginx config file shell -script updater whenever an IP address gets assigned/reassigned.

Here came lighthttpd and Apache to the rescue.
Not at all, I appreciate that you mentioned this since it seemed normal to me.

me-three: (no repo)

Back in '84 (or '85), I created a variant of C with everything in Greek. Most of it could be done in the preprocessor, but I remember having to modify the compiler for something (maybe function names for the linker?).

It was surprisingly easy, compared to rest of the Unix parts that could not handle anything non-ASCII...
