If you're very principled about it: possibly, probably, yes?

Otherwise, it might depend whose side you're on?
It sounds almost like someone explained content-addressed storage to him and he misunderstood (where you can uniquely identify a movie by number, down to some hopefully a negligible collision likelihood, but you're merely indexing known data)
Quoting [Bill Ackman’s War on Harvard, MIT, DEI, and Everyone Else](https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/bill-ackman-war-harv...)

> Ackman believes that our lives are often fated from birth. “I have a view that people become their names,” he told me. “Like, I’ve met people named Hamburger that own McDonald’s franchises.” We’d been talking for nearly an hour and a half when Ackman asked me what my name was, hoping to offer a diagnosis. After he seemed momentarily stumped by my surname, I offered him my first name, which he misheard as Reed. “Read … write,” he said, before turning back to himself. “So, my name is Ackman — it’s like Activist Man.”

I rarely go back to my notes either (except with ripgrep), but a good chunk of the value for me is psychological - when I take a note I can evict the idea from my mind to focus on something higher priority.
Historically, countries gave up on their imperialism after major defeats. That's one reason Russia can't come out of this war with a win, it only invites repetition.

Its just a secular attempt to flee responsibilities towards "higher authority". Someone out there is in charge and capable to control things. There is a captain and a bridge, somewhere on this debris-hulk we call a ship.
Are there similar projects that focus on the software aspects? Would love to read about that. For English text, you could probably get away with just typing half the letters and having the rest predicted, no?
A deep thought.
Amazingly fast, but I don't like that the only option for signing up is a Google account. Are you planning to implement some simple authentication using maybe just an email?
Visual testing without reference screenshots using Playwright
The issue here is that the change was done in a patch release. You can correct your past mistakes, but you should signal incompatibilities to your users by incrementing the major version.
The, uh, signal-to-noise ratio seems to be quite variable though.
Let's have a concrete example, link() in struct inode_operations is defined as:

int (*link) (struct dentry *,struct inode *,struct dentry *);

Let's then look at the ext4 implementation of the link() operation:

static int ext4_link(struct dentry *old_dentry,
struct inode *dir, struct dentry *dentry)
{
...
if ((ext4_test_inode_flag(dir, EXT4_INODE_PROJINHERIT)) &&
(!projid_eq(EXT4_I(dir)->i_projid,
EXT4_I(old_dentry->d_inode)->i_projid)))
return -EXDEV;
....

In particular that calls EXT4_I():

static inline struct ext4_inode_info *EXT4_I(struct inode *inode)
{
return container_of(inode, struct ext4_inode_info, vfs_inode);
}

Which is basically just direct unchecked pointer type conversion. So, calling ext4_link() on any non-ext4 created struct inode will blow up badly.

Everything accrues to the rich.

Tax breaks, handouts, benefits all for the rich.

The people in power are rich therefore they look after the rich. There’s no middle class any more, just people who own houses and the poor.

There’s ostensibly two political parties but in fact they both represent the rich.

I’m talking Australia here but wouldn’t be surprised if the trend was the same around the world.
This is such a hilariously bad take that I can't believe a serious paper has published it.

Google research is throwing plenty of R&D into the use of ML in chemistry, biology, and medicine. Those projects are long term and HN does not pay enough attention.

But even Google management was scared that OpenAI will corner the market in a bullshit generation for consumers. They did bring some big guns from doing real work to fight back.

Definitely agree that it's not just Tesla that failed, but I think the focus on them is because they kind of kick-started most of it. When you're 10 laps ahead and you still manage to lose the lead, you're gonna be the main story.

The other auto makers don't want to switch to EVs (despite the typical PR showing around it). They were not ready for it and are many years behind. They are doing this mostly out of panic because after Tesla, it's clear that there is a market and people actually want them. Now governments are also starting to force transitions (although force is doing a lot of work here given the time frames).

What surprised me the most is BYD being sold here in Brazil, and other developing countries, when there is basically no charging network. Goes to show how the profile of consumers is different. People in the US still complain about range like they will actually travel from NY to LA, meanwhile people here are buying BYD for the luxury/status/aesthetic of it without even giving a second though about range.

My previous prediction was that it would be similar to the US where we'd only have adoption after there was progress in the charging front, but I was thoroughly wrong. People in these countries are more than happy to "sacrifice" in that front for a very expensive good looking car. It's more about the status than anything else since we don't have EV subsidies or anything similar to make it advantageous financially (at least to my knowledge).

Also open weights models, even if not open-source, allow to get rid of censorship and alignment.

Most US models are so heavily censored, that even Chinese (and supposedly censored) models like Qwen-VL feel like open-minded.
Academia filters a lot less for conformity than it used to. Indeed, in some very elite places, any attempt to enforce the old-fashioned style of conformity on students would be seen as Problematic. On minority students, doubly so.

This does not need to be a bad thing - how many nose rings someone has and what color their hair is, is not a good proxy for whether they are any good at a particular skill like coding, for example.
The efforts of language nerds to make ever more convoluted syntax really has nothing to do with the safety and security of code. Hence C#, Python et al.
I know right, can't these people just get into robotics, space tech or AI startups? geez \s

>A seasoned kernel developer

I think you should take another look at the author list. Chris Mason counts as a seasoned kernel developer in my book. Either way I think you're missing the point. Yes gcj would be different, but there's a decent chance it could hand you a binary that reproduces the issue that you can bisect to the root cause from there. It's one thing to run it through gcj and see if it reproduces, rewriting it in C is a ton of work compared to gcj for something that might not pan out.
Writing good, secure C is not that hard, if you are writing business code, not super optimized kernels. But it requires a discipline I only acquired by using other languages.

- Don't use libc string functions.

- Use a lot of structs.

- Write a lot of manipulator functions for these structs so you don't get inconsistent data.

- Write in a functional style, don't toss pointers around nilly-willy.

When you follow such self-imposed rules, it's not hard. But you find yourself writing a lot of code doing manually what a more advanced language would just do for you, out-of-the-box. And then you start questioning why you wrote it in C in the first place. (And by "you", I mean "I".)

But what I have discovered is that writing in C is so tedious, it makes me think really hard about the problem to solve so it forces me to do really the bare minimum to solve the problem, which can be a relief if you are prone to over-thinking code and architecture. In C# with an IDE it's so easy to just throw in some abstractions and options and what-not "just in case" which would be a right pain in C.
It's all impressive, in 2 years you'll be bored with it and new things will be happening, new companies will exists, new ideas will emerge, and on it goes.

The original thing that grabbed me about their reviews was their analysis of monitor flicker: some monitors gave me a headache, some didn't, I'd just started realizing it was likely due to the use of PWM flickering for brightness, and then I found that rtings included that information with every monitor review so that I could select monitors that didn't flicker.

In general, they capture much more information than most reviews, and make it possible to search and sort based on that information.
Little comfort for the dead.
I was skeptical of your claims about building it so I went ahead and downloaded skia and built it myself. It was simple and on my 4 year old desktop (8 cores) it took under a minute to compile skia after it had downloaded its dependencies. All I did was run 2 commands ./tools/git-sync-deps and bazel build //:skia_public. This was not painful at all.

Yep. I'm on decent senior engineer London wages, living with my partners parents to save up for a house deposit, and even on good money and almost no expenses, it feels futile at times. So much of what I earn's gone on tax, then what's left quickly gets eaten away by bills, contributing to food shopping and the odd meal out. Just crazy. I don't know how most the population are surviving if London tech wages are getting squeezed this much. Really feels completely broken at the minute.

If you're hard-working and a skilled worker, it barely pays off these days. I pay more taxes as a percentage than people with vast amounts of inherited wealth living off the interest. It really feels like hard work is actually punished in this country at the minute. I don't really see an end in sight, either. The two main parties are virtually identical at this point, bar some minor differences in rhetoric on none issues like 'woke stuff'.

There doesn't seem to be any competent leadership in our politics anymore, no big ideas, no big plans. It all seems to boil down to making half-arsed memes about how bad the other party is, or completely meaningless slogans. Just maintaining the current status quo with a few tweaks here and there to little effect. Sorry for the rant, but this article resonates so much and I'm really angry at how things are here at the moment.
Why would you need a 3D printer or pick&place machines? You can just do it photolithographically.

Coat a piece of glass with a thin layer of metal. Put a photoresist on top. Project the desired pattern onto it with UV light. Wash the unhardened photoresist away and etch the unnecessary metal.

Now you've got metal in exact the spots you'd like, of exactly the thickness you'd like. You can get the accuracy down to a few hundred micrometers for cheap today.
The PoE of 11 years ago isn't the PoE that people rave about today, though. That's more of the past 6-7 years through today.

You skipped over mentioning Elden Ring, with it being from 2022.

Half Life Alyx, 2020 (Still probably the only real example of a "true" AAA VR game)

I think it's tough to say what games will be long-term culturally significant when they've only been out a year or two, though. I think it's easier to look back in that 5-15 year range and see what stood up.

Indeed, structural changes to timezones also need to be handled. Temporal has a good approach here https://tc39.es/proposal-temporal/docs/ambiguity.html#ambigu....

- Store the offset and the tz ID

- When deserializing, allow explicit choice what to do: keep the offset (i.e. same moment in time) or keep the local time (i.e. same time on the 'wall clock')

Until there is physical evidence that can be confirmed by third parties of other nations, we should just treat the entire thing as PsyOps. The existence of Alien civilizations at a level of development so far from us that they would be Gods is such an outrageous claim, that it would need outrageous amounts of evidence.

Taking the words of Government officials who have the blessing of the military to "whistleblow" is just not good enough.
The PSP existed in the short timeframe where all the alternative handheld devices were vastly inferior in terms of specs and cost to perf ratio. The choice between an expensive WinCE PDA that barely had hardware 3D vs the beast that is a hacked PSP was obvious.

Then came Android/ios and bothering with a hacked PSP was no longer worth it for general computing purposes. Running "backups" and emulators prevailed as the only reason to mod a handheld.

If you stick to PC instead, you’re still at the mercy of platforms like Steam. They can, and will, remove games over time. GTA being a great example.
I mean, in some sense it's never too late to change? But I do think that as technical people our profession has a strong tendency to underestimate (and undervalue!) the social component of this kind of change. If you have agreement on a path forward, getting it done is mostly a question of elbow grease. The hard part most of the time is getting an agreement on which path to choose out of many mutually exclusive options. And the Linux Rust effort is a good example of this: I think getting agreement that this is good and desireable is at least as hard as the technical work of writing the code. As the LWN article notes, there's been lots of change in this over just the last few years but there's still quite strong resistance it seems.
Not sure what you are getting at, but one class of bugs (crashing and run-foreign-code-in-memory exploit bugs) are just side-stepped in C#. On the other hand, PHP, C# and Python protects nothing against logic bugs and stuff like tripping up path validation and other things which are often exploited in other ways.

I worked for a company that had a cloud solution to manage drone fleets, and we tried ingesting log files. We had a small team working on that, and we were grateful to use and/or learn from what was available in GitHub repositories like yours (although I don't recognize yours specifically). There was a lot of trial and error, a lot of magic numbers, and stuff was still wrong half the time. And then... they leveled up the encryption of the log files, and it was game-over. Their new solution gave limited access to vendors willing to work through the legalities. If I remember correctly, it required the log file, or at least parts of it to be uploaded to get the keys to unlock it. Not something US companies, like big utilities, were very keen on.

There is no question in my mind that the transformer architecture will not stop to evolve. Already now, we are stretching the definition by calling current transformers that way; the 2017 transformer had an encoder block which is nearly always absent nowadays, and the positional encoder and multi-head attention have been substantially modified.

VRAM costs and latency constraints will drive architectural changes, which Mamba hints at: we will have less quadratic scaling in the architectures that transformers evolve into, and likely the attention mechanism will look more and more akin to database retrieval (for way more evolved database querying mechanisms than is often seen in relational databases). One day, the notion of a maximum context size will be archaeological. Breaking the sequentiality of predicting only the next token would also improve throughput which could require changes. I expect experts to also evolve into new forms of sparsity. More easily quantizable architectures may also emerge.
Classic Hacker News. “Companies shouldn’t spend money, except if it’s on developers!”
The problem with the UK is that tax is pretty much setup to destroy the "middle class". Anyone that is a PAYE (pay as you earn) employee gets taxed significantly more than anyone outside the system.

The common thing to do is to start your own company, pay yourself minimum wage and take the rest as dividends which get taxed at 20%. Then you also get to expense certain things and reduce your tax liability further.

It also screws over single earners significantly. A household where a single person makes 60k is _significantly_ worse-off than a household where two people make 30k each. Having your own company allows you to hire your SO and thus get double the tax free allowance even if only one of you is working.

It creates a tragedy of the commons situation. Anyone not doing the above gets absolutely shafted by the tax man. Anyone doing that, is taking advantage of everyone else paying full tax. As more and more people do that, less people are paying tax, so the government raises taxes further squeezing the middle class.

Edit: some people in the comments are saying this is not true, so it may not be. I don't do this, so I wouldn't know. Friends say they do this and have been trying to convince me that it's worth it. I don't know the exact details and I'm starting to doubt myself.

Further edit:
Had to check, but indeed the tax on dividends is lower. So between £12,571 to £50,270 your income is taxed at 20%, but as dividends it's 8.75%. Then regular income over 50k is taxed at 40% whereas dividends are taxed at 33.75%. You also don't pay national insurance on your dividend earnings, which further lowers tax. I'm guessing the 20% figure I was told is what it averaged out as. Sources:

I mean, if you’ve actually bought the game (as opposed to streamed it) I think there’s a strong case to be made that you should be entitled to its use beyond the wishes of the copyright holder.
