This. Also, you don't need to use compound conjugations at first. This might be wrong for the Spanish Iberian dialects the same way it's a bit wrong too in English, but if you don't say "I've just eat" instead of "I ate" everyone will understand you fine.
During the design process of pik/jpeg xl I experimented on decode speed as a personal experience to have an opinion about this. I tried a special version of chrome that artificially throttled the image decoding. Once the decoding speed gets into the 20 megapixels per second the feeling coming from the additional speed was difficult to notice. I tried 2, 20 and 200 megapixels per second throttlings. This naturally depends on image sizes and uses too.

There was a much more easy to notice impact from progressive images and even sequential images displayed in a streaming manner during the download. As a rule of thumb, sequential top-to-bottom streaming feels 2x faster as a waiting rendering, and progressive feels 2x faster than sequential streaming.
Leap Year Test in K&R (2020)
It looks funny, but I think it's actually good, and arguably the best possible form of it.
Oh.. Ouch, ouch, ouch. I feel for you. That must have been hell.
Seems to me that the main critique was from someone who didn't understand the specified problem, and complained that this didn't solve a more general one.

(... and probably wasn't aware that the assumptions made in the specification can be encoded in the API signature in Rust. This wouldn't be possible in C, which is why C forces you to solve the harder problem or rely on your users to not accidentally misuse the data structure.)
I see this as a case of: "see, allowing wfh would have saved you there."

> Sure, they gave us 100 years of peace on the European continent

Ah, the famous European continent that includes only Western Europe. Approximately one million people died in the process of breaking up Yugoslavia.
Wait until the world finds out that most Israeli tech founders have roots in Unit 8200 ;) And a lot of US companies were founded through known CIA fronts.

Military roots or no, in the end every company must obey the laws of the country they’re founded first and foremost, and then try not to break the laws of the countries they operate in. This is the reality. Just like AT&T can be compelled to spy on X, Y; so can any other company be compelled by their government.

And this idea that western spying is good and Chinese spying is bad… its ludricuous. Spying is just bad.
Yeah, and in some sense it actually is Orientalism - a vague exotic reference. And crucially it will have registered completely different for the original audience than it would today - most people in the 60's in western Europe and America had never seen a Muslim, and their knowledge of Islam and Middle Eastern culture could probably be summed up in less than a paragraph. Especially a word like jihad is infinitely more loaded than it was 50 years ago to western ears. (I'd actually wager most people who read it in the first decade or two learned that word from the book.)

Personally I read Dune in my first year of university, when I was doing a course on the Middle East, so it all hits very different to me, and the Arabic in Dune is very important to my personal appreciation of it - but I can see how it's hard to introduce to a contemporary audience due to all the regrettable events of recent decades, so perhaps it makes sense. It seems impossible to make neutral references to Muslim/Arabic culture or history these days, everything becomes some grand political statement for or against Bin Laden or Salman Rushdie...
It is. And this is the likely to be the solution to this issue. DP is a VESA standard, and its Dual Mode feature supports passive adaptors for, among other things, HDMI displays. I use one on my 20-series RTX card.

A cheap DP-HDMI dongle makes all this go away. As long as VESA doesn't behave the same way, anyway.
All that’s true. It just seems somewhat risky that you make a movie that points to Osama and says “There, but for the grace of God, go I”. Just somewhat dangerous.
A few thoughts, without any specific evidence:

- UX surely played a part in it, especially for the oldest of forums that collapsed the thread by default. Then again, Dpreview still has that layout, and while it clearly wasn't successful enough for Amazon to want to keep it on, it still has a loyal following.

- Hiding content—or rather, only showing low-quality image previews to logged-out users—makes the "drive-by" experience less nice. HN—and Reddit, to a lesser extent—avoided that enough by not allowing images in comments, leading to users creating their own workarounds.

- Profit, or the lack thereof, likely was a larger problem. Banner ads just don't make enough profit, especially compared to Facebook et al's in-feed ads.

- Maybe the collective internet just isn't content with the smaller crowds that would have seemed great in the forum heyday that, today, pale in contrast to the traffic from one viral post on social media.
I think the connector good be better in terms of reversibility and none of that weird locking it has but it's an incredible technical achievement. And it seems perpetually ahead of HDMI in terms of features and Bandwidth.
Yep, I acquired the habit to write var names like "cur_thing" for "current thing", you know.
secret society with a list of names on wikipedia? Just some way for a less successful group to associate themselves with the rockstars. What do billionaires need to be in club for really? Such nonsense
> curl -sL -H "Accept: text/roff" https://jamesg.blog/2024/02/28/programming-projects/ > post.page && man ./post.page && rm post.page

What if I have a post.page in my current directory?

> curl -sL -H "Accept: text/roff" https://jamesg.blog/2024/02/28/programming-projects/ > /tmp/post.page && man /tmp/post.page

What if another user runs the command at the same time, then?

Or what if a malicious user creates a 666 mode /tmp/post.page file beforehand, detects when you finish writing to it, then attaches a payload right before `man` reads it?

Unfortunately, there is no perfect solution for this problem; I run arbitrary html, css, and javascript every day by browsing the web. It's debatable whether switching to command chains instead of piping results in overall benefits. Of course, the same goes for vice versa as well.

You can even get cables that are DP on the input and HDMI on the output with minimal bulk.
There already was a huge trend toward niche social media, around the time FB was made. Stuff like Path, Diaspora, Bandcamp, and Yo. They were either cloned and destroyed by bigger social sites or they couldn't find enough traction in their niche.
I find it fascinating that pg's and patio11's writings are popular on HN at the same time. The contrast is fascinating not just in topics and writing-style but with the identification of engineers. The first guy gave engineers the 'hacker' identity, the second guy speaks about and partly identifies himself as 'technologist'. What a contrast! :)
He's not the only mod, though he is the only mod that communicates publicly.
I don't miss all the variants of DVI. DVI-D, DVI-I, DVI-A, single-link, dual-link. But people would just see the cable and think, "ah, I know this, it's a DVI cable"
arXiv is more than twenty years old at this point. I think the rising opposition to exploitative publishers has ratcheted up pressure on other institutions to switch to an open access model more than arXiv suddenly causing policy changes.

In 2019 there was a big dustup when people thought Trump was going to issue an executive order requiring all federally-funded research to be open access. ACM as an organization signed a letter with a bunch of publishers opposing this idea. It's own membership (myself included) objected pretty strongly... and the next year ACM announced plans to move to open access. So, just maybe, they're actually listening to their members.

Xaos it's a fun software from the 90's, I think today uses QT5 instead of Xaw, but it's virtually the same interface.

Another examples would be the ones from the AI Alife Howto's from the 90's.

And, finally, there's the uber known Gnuplot, albeit it's from late 80's, but it was widely developed and used in the 90's, and still really powerful to plot from whatever software, as it can use plain text files and you can compile it without QT and WX, making it extremely light on legacy software.

BTW, there was some language to create math figures/art declaratively. A la povray, but without raytracing. I can't remember it's name.

It's a real shame, because this is one of those few areas where Firefox could have lead the charge instead of following in Chrome's footsteps. I remember when they first added APNG support and it took Chrome years to catch up, but I guess those days are gone.

Oddly enough, Safari is the only major browser that currently supports it despite regularly falling behind on tons of other cutting-edge web standards.

Most likely not, at least not directly. CACM and arXiv do not in any way compete.

However, arXiv has done a lot for open access publishing, so perhaps it wouldn't have happened (this early) had it not been for arXiv.

Ask HN: My HP 400 printer switches the letters on some fonts
Hi, my HP m451dn (400 series) laserjet printer recently started to switch letters, usually to Polish (I'm Polish too, so that's nice) on certain fonts, i.e. only on those which are monospaced. I print a lot of text in Times New Roman and other serif fonts, but when I print my songbook which I maintain in Courier/Droid Sans Mono it prints it with broken letters. Instead of fis I get fiś, instead of Jezu I get Jezż.

Yesterday I found that if I switch font to Consolas I get correct letters. I think this might be due to text being sent to the printer without font, but common substitution of Droid Sans to Courier Postscript happens, but I can't find an option to turn it off. Do you think this is broken memory, or maybe I should reflash it? I googled a lot of hp support pages, but nothing found

Someone without contracts with the HDMI Forum can probably release a working driver. However, AMD obviously needs to license the logo for their GPU boxes and their legal team have decided this prevents them releasing any source code based on the private specification regardless of what the code is called.
Source? I don't think physicists agree. For a while there was an idea getting popularity, that black holes erase information, but in the recent year I've seen some articles and youtube videos (didn't actually care to read/watch) with titles saying otherwise.

To my understanding, the idea behind the heat death of the Universe is that nothing interesting happens anymore, not that there is absolutely nothing.

Look at mister fancy here, having tests in his legacy code base.
This is anecdata but "good enough" is relative. I've finetuned TinyLlama with the same dataset and technique as Llama2 7B for on-device purposes (not for cost or privacy but for physical hardware that have to run offline and with low power consumption) and it produces higher task alignment in 1/4 the inference time. As a general purpose model it isn't great but small models have their place in the ecosystem.
OK, so the point is the "real time" interactions

Actually, at work, I'm either in 2 situations:

- I need a quick answer for a simple problem ==> chat (because it's more about getting a simple info and I need it now if possible, or the sooner)

- I need a complete/correct/thoughtfull answer ==> email (because I need someone to really think about it before answering and that person is not available all the time and has other things to do too... so quality of answer is worth waiting)

It may happen that complex email need some clarifications... but if the subject is complex, it usually requires a meeting

It may happen too that a simple answer lead to a complex question... but then we're back at email.

So, I'm not sure that your tool would fit my way of working and/or the places I work for. Moreover, I'm quite sure that "realtime" is one of the WORST possible way of working because it's giving other people a way to manage your time at work (interrupting, etc.)
It's a difficult problem:

Work hard: The organization can become rife with politics and self-interested high-risk high-reward behaviors. People may stop collaborating, i.e. sharing knowledge, which can impede decision making, increase risk, and undermine innovation. Employees may only care about financial compensation, so it's easy for other companies to poach them, and indirectly steal insider information. Employees may burn-out causing resignations and interruptions to projects.

That's why the alternative arose.

Work/life balance: The organization is focused on productivity, not hardship. On sharing the work burden, on being able to trust your colleagues to come through. Meetings are short, direct, and no time is spent on fighting. Like an effective sports team, that passes the ball when appropriate.

My perspective is that European companies are failing for other reasons.
In particular, the US, both as a state, and their private actors, are actively undermining the European economies and industries, and corruption has become rampant, partly due to the enormous bribes that are possible by well-funded actors. All legal, of course, in the same way that Super PACs are unquestionably legal.

Anyway, more to the point: I want to focus on the organizational culture aspect.
Sometimes employees do get "lazy", or complacent. Isn't that a leadership problem?

I'd love to hear your various ideas on how these problems can be solved.
It is way too early to say whether or not Google is failing in AI. The only thing that is certain is that lately things are not going smoothly for Google in AI.
I got paid early. Is that a bug?
There are many ways how competitive offer was achieved.
There are, but they all obviously involve means that most people here would call heresy and sacrilege: The tracking of users' IP addresses, user agents, operating system regional and language settings, etc.
Sure, but if there's a law forbidding you to exceed a particular speed on the road, you can't do it anyway and say "you can't be perfectly safe anyway".

The analogy here is: there are laws regarding confidentiality that probably were broken here.
That's true but I think it's implicit here we're working with the algebraic extension generated by the number itself (which always contains the Galois conjugates).

This is cool. I don't want a 1GB+ download and an entire LLM running on my machine (or worse, on someone else machine) to find words.

What I really want is some simple predictive text engine to make writing in English easier (because its not my first language), helping me find more complex words that I don't use because I don't know them well enough.
What I usually do when I open a live chat and I'm talking to a bot: write "I want to speak to an agent" repeatedly until I am talking to a human.

My life is too short to interact with a language model that is as smart, and with as much power as a Magic 8 Ball. I loathe the day I will be told by a machine "have you tried turning it off and on again?"
Good to know. Thanks for the tip!
As a Member of HDMI-Forum AMD would surely break its Forum Membership contract by open-sourcing their implementation of a specification restricted to Members.

Also, "HDMI" itself is a trademark with usage only allowed to its Members (like "Wi-Fi"), so even if a non-Member would do an open-source HDMI-implementation against the will of the HDMI-Forum, he would likely not be allowed to call it "HDMI" (like "WLAN" is used by companies without Wi-Fi Alliance Membership)

My HN of the past was k10k[1], SurfStation[2] and a raft of niche web design communities. What made these communities special is that they had unashamedly indulgent and whimsical chrome around the content, more akin to a magazine.

It felt alive.

Around this time it was hard to pull off complex designs on the web as internet connections were slow and HTML, JS & CSS were primitive. I think precisely because of these constraints, a sense of awe & wonder proliferated when people pulled off a fancy interface which led to an explosion in peacocking. It's what dragged me into the world of crafting high-quality user experiences from the positive reinforcement loops that were embraced and encouraged.

Some communities exist today like Dribbble that possess some of the aforementioned traits but they feel soulless or just self-promotion machines. Then again, there may be millions of relevant communities that exist that I haven't stumbled upon, yet.

In a world of post-scarcity, it almost feels necessary to create artificial bounds to encourage these esoteric & competitive communities.

Maybe finding, creating and contributing to magazines is a better metaphorical aspiration than a corner shop.

I've decided to skip 4K for now (at least a decade), switching to the 2560x1440 resolution (finally switched from 1200p)

I normally run it on 120Hz over DP, but it will work fine over HDMI 1.1 at 60Hz.
My (5+ years old) TV runs at 1080p/120Hz just fine too.
I think the big difference now is how these sites stay alive. Now that we know things like Nebula or Kagi can work using a paid model, more of these types of user-supported communities will pop up. What's interesting about this, I think, is that in order for places like these to collect enough users to support themselves, the creator class of the community will have to become famous on one of the free-to-publish communities, like Twitter or YouTube, and then encourage their fans to come with them to the paid community. I imagine at some point YouTube and Tiktok et al will start restricting these types of promotional material to retain users, which is not fun to think about.

Because not doing that these days would be malpractice for an OS of that caliber.
Streaming HTML out of order without JavaScript
Also, that someone without contracts would probably need to call it different than "HDMI", because the term itself is trademarked and only licensed to Members (like "Wi-Fi" and "Bluetooth").

So a different term would be needed (like "WLAN" or "BT" is used by non-members)
I’m not following. The label is the entity that the artist chose to represent them. The labels do not pass on the money that they make during that representation. Who else should the artists blame, other than themselves for choosing poor representation (from only poor options)?
