> Right. Thin plastic to thick plastic is 0.5 to 2.5. [...]

???

At what point were we discussing thin vs thick bags? I thought the whole point of the conversation was talking about regular bags vs reusable bags?

>It's ok to misread, no need to play the victim when both your comments make it clear what happened

This is an absolutely bizarre accusation to make. I'm not sure how asking someone to re-read a source is "play[ing] the victim", especially when it's in response to a comment asking the same thing. If anyone is engaging in bad faith accusations, it's you.
Yuck. So many half truths and outright lies. This is straight up propaganda. Look into any of the assertions given here and you’ll see what I mean. Designed to fool headline readers only.
One thing I like about HN is that folks here are generally supportive of individuals that share their projects, especially if they look like they required a lot of effort. I'm hopeful that the positive culture on HN will persist.
Exactly. It wasn't that long ago that most people (here especially) thought Crypto was the beginning of a new paradigm in money, programming, business, and even government. In the end it's been literally none of those things, and it's hard to estimate just how much energy, time, and money has been wasted or mislaid as a result.

Now we have another NVIDIA enriching tech that everyone agrees is the future of work, art, maybe even programming and government. All of this despite the fact that what LLM's can actually do is... ok I guess? Sometimes useful, often incomplete or deceptive, and certainly not intelligent.

But we can imagine where this might go if trends continue indefinitely, and because so much money and hype is involved, common sense falls away. I fully expect "lessons will be learned" in four or five years, and people who scoff at AI skepticism today will have "always seen the writing on the wall."
Roman slavery was hereditary. I’m not a Christian apologist, but it is true that the christianization of Rome introduced laws that made it relatively easier for slaves to become freed, such that the birth replacement rate was insufficient. And aa you note, there weren’t other sources of slaves available. Eventually the number of slaves was too small to be economically meaningful.
Great example. Your C-Code translated to Pascal would be

if (input = 'y') or (input = 'Y') then
begin
writeln ('blah blah');
end
else if (input = 'n') or (input = 'N') then
begin
writeln ('blah');
end
else
begin
writeln ('Input invalid!');
end;

Now this does not look any different then your code.
Except your code does compile but has several errors.

And why should be the double pipe be any better to read than
an "or" statement?

Btw: as you won't need the begin and ends it would look like

if (input = 'y') or (input = 'Y') then
writeln ('blah blah')
else
if (input = 'n') or (input = 'N') then
writeln ('blah')
else
writeln ('Input invalid!');
If you're drinking coffee as a laxative -- it's not the caffeine, it's the coffee. You can drink decaf for the same effect.
You are very definitely "in the wrong".

If you want to discuss this in more depth I'll be happy to elaborate
and give you ethical guidance, but presently that's probably just
adding to the noise.

I started drinking coffee as a freshman in college back in 2006. I forget exactly what the impetus to start was but I'm sure it had something to do with feeling generally tired and unmotivated, something I've struggled with my entire life.

At that time brewing a pot of coffee and drinking 2-3 cups was an incredible buzz. I'm not sure if my actual productivity was much higher (I think it was) but I certainly FELT a lot better.

Unfortunately around that time I developed a panic attack disorder. Ludicrous as it might sound to you now, I did not realize in the moment that it could have been related to coffee. I was 19 and barely in touch with my feelings and sense of self. I was essentially just bumping through life.

Fast forward 17 years later and I'm still drinking coffee. Over those 17 years I have waxed and waned in my quantities and when I would drink it. But suffice it to say that on average, I've probably consumed a Venti coffee every day for 17 years.

I did stop ONCE for 35 days about 7 years ago and didn't feel like I noticed any difference. Again though, I wasn't as aware of my mental state as I am now and it would have been easy for benefits to go unnoticed as I lost the buzz and energy that coffee brings.

I'm now interested in trying going coffee/caffeine free for a few reasons:

• Dreams. I almost never dream, and when I do, they're usually bad/anxious

• Sleep quality. I wake up and usually don't feel pumped or excited for the day. To be fair, I never have even as a kid. But I'd like to wake up feeling more "awake" and excited.

• Teeth. Noticed over the years my teeth have been slowly yellowing. If there's a time to intervene, it was probably 5 years ago but why not now?

• General mood / anxiety. I have a generally high anxiety state but "negative affect" mood disorder. Being anxious AND depressed is kind of a terrible world to live in. Basically don't have the motivation and energy to do much, and when I do anything tend to have a sort of frenetic energy that isn't very productive. This might just be my genetics but I have a theory that at the very least, coffee might be making some of the symptoms worse.

I think it can be absolutely great but you have to be able to say "I want a different typeface for that title" and get it. If you can do that by changing the prompt, fine. If your goal though is to have the thing process 10,000 videos and post them to YouTube automatically I hope you get banned.

I have more than one "A.I. agent" that expand the range of what I can do by an order of magnitude or so but people frequently dismiss them out of hand because: (1) the agents propose actions that I approve and (2) I collect data on how well it works. If you want to use fine tuning, you need that data.
No law of software has proven more true in my experience than Conway's Law, which states:

> organizations which design systems (in the broad sense used here) are constrained to produce designs which are copies of the communication structures of these organizations.

The reddit thread comes to the same conclusion, but doesn't frame it this way. This is how I react to good and bad software, and when I see a confused mess of an app coming from a large organization, I think "every VP or director in this bureaucracy had their fingers in the pie, and this app reflects internal backbiting rather than a single unified vision."

And when I see an app with heart, good bones, competent in the implementation, but which is ruined by some crucial flaw, I think there must be a persuasive figure in the organization who rode in after it was halfway done, and championed some bad product choice they really cared about, usually for selfish reasons.

And if a miracle occurs, and when a huge organization produces some successful, well-scoped product, it is inevitably discovered that someone was given a budget and more or less ignored by the chain of command, and was able to ship something good under their noses—and if it is successful, expect version 2.0 to be have been meddled with.
What changed in our culture that indicated it would be a different experience?
If you use the word topology as if you know what you are talking about, you sacrifice this benefit of the doubt.
Indie developers have a unified vision to hang on to. Big corps have multiple stakeholders with varying degrees of conflict between each other, that in turn becomes a variation of "design by committee" even if there's a design team they aren't able nor allowed to have a vision that goes against what so many different parts of Big Corp wants.

Conway's Law applies as well, Big Corps are always delivering their org structure, not a product.

ARM64 and AMD64 are contemporaneous redesigns of the underlying architecture that got rid of a lot of cruft, so being ARM does not have an advantage there. One could argue that the more relaxed memory model of ARM gives a slight advantage, but that's a mixed bag.

Even without that, all modern chips translate the ISA into internal ops, and that translation take such a miniscule fraction of chip area that ISA in 2024 has minimal effect on power and performance.
Haskell is a great language for writing compilers! The end of our compilation pipeline is written in Haskell. Other stages are written in C++ (MLIR) and Python. I'd recommend anyone to look at Haskell if they have a compiler-shaped problem, for sure.

We also use Haskell on our infra team. Most of our CI infra is written in Haskell and Nix. Some of the chip itself was designed in Haskell (or maybe Bluespec, a Haskell-like language for chip design, I'm not sure).

How else would you say a 3rd party library had a bug under heavy load? 1. You don't want a defamation lawsuit your way. 2. If it was vendor code, you have a contract that may be under a NDA. 3. If it was a vendor, lawyers, lots and lots of lawyers, they likely had to say the minimal amount. The fact they sent out communications for each type of incident in such a short time was great.
It is drastically better than Spotify. I am surprised this isn't more well known. Maybe people just haven't tried Pandora recently.

The most I can get from Spotify is about 40 songs in a custom Radio playlist that I can't refresh or update.
iOS platform is not dramatically better in this area to be fair.

Decaf can taste ok but even really good decaf pales in comparison to caf, unfortunately. The process of getting the caffeine out is just inherently harmful to the flavor. I think moderation is the key for most people. Drink at most a moderate amount of coffee once in the morning; don't drink it throughout the day.

I have never had trouble recycling aluminum cans when I live in a place with curbside recycling or in public with clearly marked recycling containers. Nobody even had to pay me to do it. I know littering will happen and deposits can help with that, but it also seems like the percentage of cans that get littered vs recycling would be small in a place with convenient recycling.

I know that some will end up in landfills and oceans, but is aluminum in the ocean an ecological problem in the way plastics are?

One of the big issues with the thin plastic film shopping bags is that they aren't easily recyclable at home or in public. Recently I have seen grocery stores near me offer such recycling as a service, but home recycling pickup doesn't accept them.
They do have a comparison page, but it's hard to find, incomplete, and leaves out significant information: https://www.keychron.com/blogs/news/difference-among-keychro...

WinUAE is an outstanding emulator. Amiga is already such a complicated machine before you even consider that there are ~10 official models, hundreds of peripherals, and thousands of different configurations.

Toni Wilen has been involved with WinUAE since the late 90s and has been the lead developer for ~20 years [1]. It's one thing that he's still at it now, but it's crazy to think that he first got involved at a time when Amiga was still a fairly widely-used and supported platform (by third-parties; Commodore kicked the bucket in 1994).

It's unfortunate that WinUAE is Windows-only (hence the name). There are cross-platform ports (the leading one is FS-UAE), but maybe this fragmented development is a symptom of the project being almost 30 years old at this point.

As a somewhat hardcore enthusiast, I'm thrilled by HN's continued interest in Amiga hardware and software.

In the Iliad, Agamemnon offers Achilles one of his daughter (whichever Achilles wants) with “no bride price, and full dowry.”

Agamemnon is the leader of the Greeks, but he is of slightly lower social standing than Achilles.

He is the leader because he agreed to sacrifice his daughter to the gods to guarantee success victory in war, but this victory will only happen if Achilles joins him.

Agamemnon has tons of daughters and no sons. He is extremely willing to expend his daughters. This may or may not be because he doesn’t want to pay their dowries.

In return, Achilles must recognize Agamemnons kingship, and agree to follow orders.

Achilles knows from divine prophecy if he accepts Agamemnons offer he will die very soon, so he doesn’t really care. The marriage isn’t happening regardless.

But Achilles wants to join the battle, and die, for personal reasons (vengeance) unrelated to Agamemnon.

So the offer of “marriage with no bride price and full dowry” is just a sad pathetic joke.

It’s a way for Agamemnon to seem like he’s in control, and to remind the Greeks why he’s king - because he’s a narcissistic psychopath who will do necessary, but horrible things nobody else will do.

The distinction between bride price and dowry only serves to show Agamemnon is making up the rules and the whole thing is a farce.

* Large organizations tend to be dysfunctional or at least grossly inefficient.

* When requirements are clear and followed through on, they aren't necessarily in the interests of the user, nor even of the business.

* On average, our discipline isn't very good at what we do. (Even arguably criminally bad, when you consider security vulnerabilities routinely created in something that really shouldn't have them.)

* You're exposed disproportionately to the better indie apps, but whatever a big tech company spews out gets exposure because it's from a big tech company.
It's probably about the right speed for a language with an implementation as complicated as this that's unfortunately stumbled backwards into enabling all web page dynamic behavior on the planet.

Q1 2024 Gumroad / Flexile / Helper Public Board Meeting
On the GPU, vectorization is done for you by the compiler, and the cores are designed to hide latency. These techniques will do little to improve that.
OTOH, you have control over how the code is vectorized (stripes or tiles), that could make a difference. And it might be worth exploring if it’s worthwhile to emulate doubles with smaller types. GPU’s are slow at 64 bit math.

But, as the author already suggested, first check if there is a need to optimize at all.

I remember Spotify when it was a small upstart company from Sweden and their service wasn't available yet in the US. Using VPN's, proxies, anything to try the service out was fun.

I paid for a Spotify subscription for many years but cancelled in 2021 when I found I didn't like the recommendation system at all. Not to mention, if you listen to a lot of electronic music there are a lot of releases missing.

I previously had a FLAC collection sitting idle on a NAS and now use Roon to listen at home and use Roon ARC to stream away from home and it works very well. This along with a sizeable vinyl and tape collection works well for me.

Also want to mention Bandcamp if you can afford it. Artists see more money from a purchase than a stream, and it's an invaluable service.
