Intel GPU performance was totally stagnant from Haswell (Iris Pto 5200) until Iris XE, from 2013-2019. AMD on the other hand was steadily building up their iGPUs, allowing the APUs to work together with external GPUs, and with the 5700g (which imho was a milestone) we finally had 30fps+ for all but the most brain-dead games (alan wake i'm looking at you!)
> I am sure you'd agree removal of regulations should go through the same sort of cost benefit analysis

Definitely not. We should err toward freedom. If you don't have good reason to think that the benefits of a regulation outweigh the harms, it should absolutely be repealed.

Of course, in this particular case I think the cost-benefit analysis has been done, and the 1500 hour rule is net harm.

> and that regulations should be applied fairly to all parties.

Not in the way you mean. I think if we have a bad regulation that is applied arbitrarily to one of two competitors, the afflicted party should lobby for the regulation to be removed from themselves, not for it to be applied to their competitor. If someone can find a legal way around a bad law, they should do it. I want taxis to be more like Uber/Lyft, not the other way around, and I don't think Uber/Lyft and its drivers should be punished for the harm inflicted to taxi drivers (if any) by bad rules.

I drink heavily. Sometimes it occurs to me that I need a break. These breaks are sometimes months long, but after just a few days I feel amazing. I haven't gone for eighteen months as the author describes, but it might be interesting to see whether the benefits begin to mount again. For me they seem to top out at about a month off.
I had the same question, as my first reaction was "this looks like such a hack, I am sure there are better tools for this," so I poked into the user manual[0] and found this quote:

> Driven by the frustration of creating charts within design applications and inspired by typefaces such as Beowolf and PicLig, Travis Kochel saw an opportunity to take advantage of OpenType technology to simplify the process.

Reading between the lines, "design applications" is very likely referring mostly to Adobe InDesign and Illustrator. I can see it being useful for the (somewhat niche?) use case that the creator had, which is quickly creating simple charts within Adobe products.

I do like the ritual around drinking. Celebrating an event, marking the end of a tiring day, transitioning into "relax" mode. I find that non alcoholic drinks still give me that feeling that I'm entering a new part of my day with intention.

Yes, but that’s not really how all muliplayer games function anymore. Some do - particularly survival games like Minecraft.

But many live service games like Fortnite aren’t something that can be easily be operated that way.

It’s possible someone may make a custom online server for this game but probably not considering its mediocrity and small player base.
Nearly every computing system geared toward consumers has to provide some form of stimulation ("entertainment"), IMO, because the more time we spend on computers, the less human interaction we have, but our brains still need the simulated interactivity. I think it's why LLMs are so popular and will probably continue to be in the future, regardless of them ever getting "good".

This has been addressed several times in the comments on this post, and the answer is no, it does matter that he has to select a goat. If he might have selected a car and just got lucky in selecting the goat, then all of the following had equal probability:

1. you picked car first, he picked the first goat

2. you picked car first, he picked the other goat

3. you picked first goat first, he picked the car

4. you picked first goat first, he picked the other goat

5. you picked other goat first, he picked the car

6. you picked other goat first, he picked the first goat

You happen to know that he picked a goat, so you can eliminate 3 and 5, but the remaining four possibilities are still equally likely. Half of them let you win by switching. This is also the "MH stumbles into a door on accident" variant that others have mentioned.

Another way of getting intuition about your version is to realize that, if he might have shown you a car, then the fact that he has opened a goat is evidence against the hypothesis that your first pick was a goat, because half of the times you choose a goat he would open a car, whereas if you chose a car he would have to show you a goat every time. It eliminates some of the ways things could have turned out if you started on a goat without eliminating any of the ways things could have turned out if you started on a car, so the former is relatively less likely in retrospect than it was before MH opened the goat. More obvious in the 100-door case: if your first pick was a goat, then the fact that he hasn't shown you a car after opening 98 doors at random (or equivalently leaving one door closed at random) either means that you were very lucky in the first pick and got the can (in which case it's easy to open 98 doors without a car) or he got very lucky in his random choices. Most games played in this way (98%) would end with MH revealing the car, and the fact that you don't happen to be in one of them only tells you that one or the other of you got very lucky. The probabilities work out that the two options are equally likely.
It's not evidence at all, just data (intelligence) that makes me reconsider what I thought I knew about the situation and what else might be related that I didn't consider before.

We have a "special" relationship with Israel so I can't go too much into detail, but suffice to say it was password spraying attacks that originated from domestic residential IPs that dropped off. Normally foreign agencies use datacenters and a known set of VPN ASNs. Israel happens to have their own onion routing network in the form of Hola/Luminati, but that isn't a discrete ASN-- it's a botnet of residential proxies.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18161706

I don't know if Luminati is even still a thing but this is the sort of footprint I'd expect from it. They'd find residential proxies useful for their astroturfing campaigns so I assume it's still up. Attribution is a game of educated guesses.

Now, I'm not implying the Israeli government is the actor here. For all I know it's some bored teenager fucking with us. The timing is what's suspect. Either the operator was compelled to stop when war broke out or the infrastructure they were using was somehow impacted by the Gaza offensive.

Appropriating an old movie that was a product of its time to make it more palatable for later generations is normal, and nothing to get riled up about, even if no one knows what “hottentots” means. They didn’t even remove it from the film, they just changed the age rating. Aren’t there more pressing concerns?
Oh wow I'll check that out! We're basically working on tools for turning normal comics into semi-animated versions with things like puppet animation (similar to live 2d style), and stable diffusion models. A lot of the work for traditional approaches is segmentation and in painting, so that's what we're working on now, but we're also making tools for colorization, effects, and controllable animations!
Yeah you're totally right, and tbh that's on openAI's side: they have to make it more clear that the system's agents aren't crawling a website in real-time. Unfortunately they don't make it clear and so people get confused like here
When I was a kid, brussels sprouts were prepared by boiling them in water for an hour, and serve with absolutely no seasonings.

I can go down the street to a restaurant called Left Bank and they have the most amazing brussels sprouts. I think they cook them in bacon grease. The outside is crispy and it has something like caramelized sugar on it. They are absolutely freaking delicious.

HODL witnessed $400M in trading volume, a gain of almost 1,400%.
The fund had achieved $25.5 million in trading volume on its opening day last month.
Some market observers were caught off guard last week by the sudden explosion in daily activity of VanEck’s spot bitcoin ETF. The relatively new investment product recorded more than $400 million in trading volume, a gain of almost 1,400% compared to the second most active day of the exchange-trade fund.

HODL, VanEck’s exchange-traded fund, had daily trading volumes of less than $10 million prior to the $400 million increase on Feb. 20. The fund had achieved $25.5 million in trading volume on its opening day last month. In the last seven days, HODL has received $17 million in positive inflows, as reported by CoinShares.

The core findings of the paper are as follows:

Slow, deep breathing (0.1Hz) is proposed as an adjunctive treatment for insomnia, particularly effective when combined with relaxation techniques and sleep hygiene practices.
Insomnia, a widespread sleep disorder, leads to various negative health outcomes and is commonly treated with pharmaceuticals that can have adverse effects and habit-forming potential.
The authors argue that insomnia's prevalence is partly due to an evolutionary mismatch, termed "dysevolution," leading to chronic autonomic nervous system imbalances characterized by excessive sympathetic activation or diminished parasympathetic activity.
Non-pharmacological interventions, predominantly targeted at increasing parasympathetic activity and reducing sympathetic arousal, may offer a healthier and more sustainable solution to insomnia.
The document suggests that slow deep breathing may modify the autonomic nervous system, enabling relaxation and sleep induction, potentially through the enhanced vagal activity and attenuated sympathetic arousal, as well as increased melatonin production.
The need for further research is emphasized to explore the physiological mechanisms underpinning the effectiveness of slow breathing in managing insomnia and elucidate the relationship between autonomic dysfunction and poor sleep.
In summary, the paper posits that slow, deep breathing is a promising, non-invasive method for treating insomnia by modulating autonomic nervous system activity and that such methods merit further scientific investigation.
Yeah, I think they're trying to say "Stop writing in C and C++, blockheads!" but in a more diplomatic tone. Most of the common languages today are memory-safe. Really, which ones aren't? C and C++ are the big ones. I guess throw Pascal in there if you don't use pointers correctly. Assembly lets you make indirect accesses anywhere in your allocated memory. Perl lets you leak memory if you create circular structures and then lose references to them. But Java, JavaScript, Go, Python, Ruby, etc. don't let you trample all over memory the way C and C++ let you. You can corrupt memory if you really want to, e.g. in Python by using ctypes to cast integers to pointers, but it takes a lot of effort.
The reality is that most people drink less with age and from what I gather it is often because alcohol simply loses its appeal with age.

One guy in some article said that in his youth, getting drunk was a lot of fun with relatively little in the way of negative consequence and now it's a short bit of fun followed by a bad hangover. It's just no longer got the same cost-benefit ratio.
I am not a Budweiser fan, but I tried Budweiser Zero and it is pretty refreshing. A lot of the other nonalcoholic beers I’ve tried have mimicked highly hoppy beers so YMMV.

I’m no expert on all TVs, but I would question the desirability of this approach in the general case, because most TVs have a bargain basement SOC. I have a Sony TV with Google TV, and a ~$50ish (I paid even less) Chromecast With Google TV dongle (the new kind with a remote, not the strange old Chromecast that are captive to a phone for control). They have the same UI. The dongle can play SNES games on an emulator, even that is too CPU intensive for the TV. Not to mention the TV itself is frequently whining about low storage space too. I think smart TVs may be better off rendered inert, offline displays for better equipment you plug into them.

Anything that stops languages from just exposing some functions that solve this exact problem?

function blob_contents(blob)
ffi.pin(blob)
-- ...
ffi.unpin(blob)
end

Where pin disables garbage collection of the given object while pin re-enables it, forming the exact region where its lifetime is guaranteed which is apparently what the author needs.

It's manual memory management and the code will have to be written carefully if the language has exceptions or other forms of unwinding. It should work though.

Moving garbage collectors also have a concept of pinning objects since code can save pointers to them. Seems like the same problem to me.

as a side note, I find it curious how back then technology innovations were largely ignored for years after they mature (over a decade for companies to start claiming domain names), and today technology is hyped even before it becomes practical (blockchain, llms)
I do, because figuring out what is going to be big 30 years from now is hard (arguably impossible to do deterministically), but knowing what is big now is easy, and wishing you could go back and capitalize on that is natural.

> or you strongly incentivize a lot of people to not go for this.

By very definition if we do literally anything that makes housing more affordable, we make it less of a good invetment, which means a lot of people will not go for it. We already covered that in my first comment.

Old people that own houses want them to be a good invesment.

Young people that do not own houses want them to be affordable.

Pick one group to make happy.

> We can use the money they pay to fund building more housing

Now you're complicating the issue and getting away from the core issue/problem here. Yes, building more houses would be great, but that is NOT the fundamental problem here.

The fundamental problem that has to be addressed first, is that housing can not simultaneously be a good investment AND be affordable. We MUST fix that first.
While I agree with the spirit of the post, I think that there are better and worse times to start something new, and in retrospect 2014 seems like it was one of those worse times. The period from 2014--2024 was an era where the sheer gravity of the big tech platforms crushed out innovative startups left and right. People with an extreme focus on product polish could succeed, like Slack (est. 2013) and Discord (est. 2015), but it feels like most of the tech-sphere was either just working on half-hearted products towards an inevitable acqui-hire, or fervently trying to mainstream blockchain in a wishful attempt to create an entirely separate, more open ecosystem.

I kinda doubt my friends read enough good stuff to have 50% of their stuff be more than 1-2 things per day, which is pretty bad volume. What percentage of what you read would you re-share in an average day? You also have to remember that some of that overlap of stuff is stuff you also probably got from the same place they did. If my friend and I both read HN, me resharing something from the homepage of HN has a low chance of being something they haven't already seen too.

My opinion is mostly based on the number of slack and discord channels in servers with my friends that I have to have muted because they have plenty of chatter about articles I don't care about. Filtering by topic is much more valuable than filtering by which human shared it most of the time.
I'm 30 and I can't even drink enough to get a hangover because alcohol just makes me so sleepy. I drink maybe 2-3 beers over the course of a whole night and I'm ready to hit the hay around my usual bedtime at 10pm anyways.

I think so - I grew up in a very alcohol-loving part of the US and attended a party school on an athletic scholarship. I am physically attractive and have lots of male friends, so I don't think I'm socially defective. I simply spent every moment when I could have been socializing with women alone in my room because being sober around drunk people is uncomfortable.

The fact that most people are given the choice between alcohol and nothing causes far more harm than it prevents in the Western world. Most people, if given the option, would seek out substances that work with their health and life and lifestyle. And many would choose nothing. But our alcohol-only system is the worst of all worlds. It creates a socially engineered critical mass of drinkers that exerts tremendous peer pressure to drink throughout all aspects of life. And it prevents people from exploring other substances, many of which are far less detrimental to personal and public health than alcohol, and many of which are better suited to purposes like stress relief.
