Yes, precisely my point. If you want more kids to get involved in programming, reduce barriers to entry. A small number of kids succeeding despite these barriers is not evidence of much. There is always some top percentile who will succeed regardless of obstacles, those aren’t the ones who need the help getting interested.
Oh ya. I had my first website on 8m.com still available in the archives!! Best days!
> I love programming but while I’ve had bouts of enjoyment coding “in the small”, it’s my least favorite part.

Yes, okay, but what will happen to junior to mid level engineers? In many companies these levels can't even have an influence on architecture.
Take it you didn't read the article. The "Media" in "Media Manipulation", in this case, is like "a picture" or "a video", not "The Media" (as I also initially thought.)

This is a set of tech meant to ID deepfakes, not to restrict access or to disseminate messaging generally. It's not a bad thing to exist, if it can actually be done. I'd prefer to know if a picture is bunkum.

If people's needs aren't being met and they decide to follow one party or ideology, that's just the way the cookie crumbles.

This is democracy. To forcefully change people's minds, regardless of what party or beliefs they have, is authoritarian.

This desire to bolster truth will be political. It comes from the same place as the idea that we should censor certain discourse or ban certain books.
the UI is really a mess, I didn't find there are 5 pieces in mobile...
I'm not a sports fan, but people who say sports are braindead don't understand why people watch sports. A hypercasual sportsgoer that only knows the most basic rules won't get anymore enjoyment out of a professional football game than a reader who opens up chapter 12 of a new book and starts reading. Context matters and is missing in both cases.

Well if you are clueless and not ready to learn a few things than Linux might be not as fun as it can be.

> Wanted to change a theme but first I had to install GNOME Tweak Tool for no reason

Windows does not even offer themes, why would you need a theme, they pick a great looking theme for their defaults for a reason, because Linux DE first impression and screenshots sell distros. Nothing wrong with Ubuntu's default no need to change it, crying about installing a tool that WORKS that takes you 5 seconds is no argument.

> still haven’t figured out how to have a system tray which many apps like Discord, Steam, Spotify, caffeinate need to run

Well, maybe take 10 second search? You need a Gnome extension for old style stray. Do these apps really "Need" tray icons to run? I think you just made that up. Ubuntu comes with "Ubuntu App Indicators" BY DEFAULT! That show the legacy tray icons. You claim you did an "Ubuntu" install, then you speak of KDE and DE switching. So, did you install Kubuntu? You are doing it wrong TM if you install Gnome on Kubuntu or KDE on Ubuntu. I have "Tray Icons Reloaded" running because I need that for my Gnome extension setup, works perfectly fine.

Refusing Flatpaks is you just adding an arbitrary limitation on yourself so you can complain about it. I personally run Ubuntu, and it comes with Snaps, and I never ever came across any app I needed that did not have a deb or a Snap. I would prefer Flatpak if I had to chose, but because Ubuntu has Snap integrated by default, I just use that until I really need Flatpak.

It doesn't mean that companies "can fire lots of people without impacting output". It just means we're going to produce more instead of working less. Competition will raise the bar in affordability, quality and novelty. That means everyone is going to compete on a different level. Working like it's still 2020 won't cut it anymore.
What I mean by crowdsourcing here isn't Apple bootstrapping a parallel database, either using Skyhook or their own GPS-only data, but rather them feeding into Skyhook. I'd be very surprised if Skyhook was opposed to that.

Given the ubiquity of Apple devices, I wouldn't even be surprised if Skyhook paid Apple at this point.
Even if bugs are fixed instantly, nobody will apply a patch in production withiut previous testing. Changing system-wide behavior to fix a single query may make things worse. Hints are the only way to fix at the scope of one statement with the guarantee that it doesn't break others

And if we're talking textbooks, I'm not sure what cutting copyright to 14 years actually accomplishes. I'm also not sure how you dole out X% of sales to libraries that might be interested. Especially given libraries are often ill-defined.
You may have missed the point here.

OP was saying that publicly funded research needs to have, built in to its budget for the research, enough money to make the findings publicly available. The publishing mechanism is largely arbitrary here, only that it must be budgeted for.
This looks competitive against CLIP, and surprisingly great at VQA style prompts, but it doesn't seem like the paper supports comparing it to GPT-4. We don't see any tests for coding performance, math homework, legal document review, or any of the myriad other things that people use GPT-4 for on a daily basis.
Yeah, because of the pressure after it all blew up. They even said in their own blog post that it was an "extraordinary" decision and did not believe terminating them was appropriate.

Kiwi Farms used their services for at least 6 years before anything happened.

Doesn't look like it's MEMS? Unless each individual cell is a MEMS, but that seems strange. Maybe MEMS devices can't generate sufficient force?

"MEMS actuator braille" has many research hits, but no obvious product.
> This may be the first device category where Apple’s [whatever] may simply not work as previously

One day they’ll be right, but it seems like a pretty risky bet, always
Oh this is neat, it's based on Visual Studio. Curious how they're accounting for "whoopsie I touched this button and the IDE crashed" kinds of problems that you encounter with larger codebases.
> Publishers should lose copyright to every work they do not offer in perpetuity with every purchase in every format

If such a law comes, the publisher will set the price to, say, 1 billion USD.

Searching for the file name the default database seems to be MaxMind's free database:

They are the comany that infamously set the default US location to a farm in Kansas, causing all sorts of trouble for the people who live there. From the file name it sounds like classify-client is by default only trying to identify the country you are in.

I'm not seeing a browser.search.geoip.url setting, however I have geo.enabled set to false and various other setting that might cause that to not be present.
I'm at the acceptance stage, mostly. I don't want to linger and suffer. I also don't want to force poverty on my family.

I've realized I need to avoid repeating the mistake of a late friend, who left a house full of computers and supplies sufficient to set up an era appropriate small business computer system for any year from 1977 to present. S-100 and CP/M, all the way up to 8 monitor setups!

Hopefully, we can pass along our house, and not have it stripped away by medical bankruptcy if either of us get ill and require too much care before we go.
It doesn’t matter. A perfect form factor like a contact lens or sunglasses would have the same issue. It’d psychologically be like walking around with a phone strapped to your eyeballs. Having screens be localized in physical space is a FEATURE.
Which is great, assuming you trust that a "delete" actually results in the data being removed from Reddit's possession...
It's when a popularizer starts having opinions that aren't widely shared in a field that they aren't themselves expert in that things can start to go wrong.

Being publicly contrarian about stuff you're an expert in can be interesting, being publicly contrarian about stuff you just don't know much about is at best not very useful and at worst harmful.
In Chicago our sushi is all 100% fresh catch from Lake Michigan. Snakehead and alewife maki.
For me personally, it's definitely the platform. Requiring a Meta / Facebook account for already-purchased Oculuses, retroactively bricking devices and deleting software which was bought before that requirement, has put Oculus firmly in the "hardware I will never consider in my life" camp.

It's an incredible amount of goodwill to burn from a company with so little to spare, and I'm surprised it hasn't come up yet in this thread or in the blogpost. Meta has fundamental trustability issues.
Ask HN: New grad and jr devs – is it a struggle to get a job?
Fair enough, though that would suggest it won't be enforced as it cannot be enforced. As long as it is about a software repository (aka "app store") under US jurisdiction they can still force them to take the application offline.

What do they do with foreign "app stores"? What do they do with websites?
The paper lists "first authors", "core authors", and "senior authors".

Based on my limited experience building enterprise product in security space. It is deliberately designed this way. You dont want to have variation in ticket size. Investors want to see large ticket size like 100k, but in your case, the margins would not be that great if the price was 30k per year or something, it would be the same effort as a 100k contract in the end of the day with implementation, onboarding, account management and operation support. P0 issue is P0, you want to maintain the same level of service across all customers.
When you are an early stage you will have variance in pricing but it has to converge in order to build predictability.

In this particular case, devops or iac or gitops was huge driver for hashicorp. It was synonymous

I noticed a lot of these are KDE related. Am I right in presupposing that you installed KDE on top of the regular GNOME Ubuntu? If so, you might have a bit more luck with Kubuntu.

If not, bummer to hear you've had so many problems.
Airlines are often brought up as becoming cheaper with less regulations.

While it was mostly manufacturers building more efficient aircraft, people are generally willing to trade leg room for a cheaper fair. That’s exactly the kind of thing regulators and the free market may come to a different compromise. Worse, but cheaper is often quite appealing.
> I wonder if eventually once this is more thoroughly researched there could be a way to induce constant cleaning instead of having to do it while unconscious at night?

Hopefully without having to induce those brainwaves, otherwise you might be able to do it during the day but you wouldn't exactly be conscious. But there's also the question of whether those brainwaves are doing more than just cleaning the brain.

I think some types of learning and memory formation also happen during sleep, right?

"But the agency never paid for it [the server]."
Not comparable. I paid $7k for an upright piano (which is a rookie number not worth bragging about) which is my biggest purchase other than a car so far, plus ongoing $90 weekly lessons, but I won't ever regret because it is a very meaningful and valuable investment -- the piano easily lasts a decade, I practice every day and am happy about what it brings. People who blow $100k on a Steinway think the same. Vision Pro? Not a chance, even as a one-time purchase. Maybe after I have a big house and earn $1m in annual income and have too much money to waste.
I went from Quest 2 to Quest 3. Even just that! Having a pass through at all is near revolutionary for my use cases

Interesting article overall.
That’s a nice maxim and all but in actual reality, the vast majority of people on the vast majority of topics have to use heuristics to build (and disconfirm) their beliefs. The people who are actually close enough to a topic to even be able to judge an idea “on the merits” are few and far between. If you want people to have an accurate model of reality, you have to care about maintaining heuristics that at least somewhat track with the consensus (or the lack thereof) of the underlying group of people who actually have a chance of knowing things from first principles and direct experience.

Deliberately sampling an “unbiased” subset of an actually biased underlying population is not just allowing the heuristic to stray from reality, it’s deliberately destroying that heuristic and deliberately misleading people. In imaginary “everyone can/should judge on own merits”-land, that’s perfectly fine. In reality, where almost no one can actually judge almost anything of substance on its merits, you are actively sabotaging truth-seeking.

The way that fringe scientist gets to declare s/he is right is by convincing their peers of it, not by convincing the public in a format that violates the heuristics the public has to rely on. Of course everyone should always be open to this possibility, most of all their peers (and to your point they often aren’t!)
The M series of chips? That was a major risk.

Apple Watch Ultra?

Though it's thin and flat, The iPhone X was a huge leap in specs, contrary to the entire market analyst sentiment that people wanted cheaper phones. Apple made a big bet that people would want the opposite: more expensive phones, and they were right.

I think "What Technology Wants" has the best response to this argument: it's correct, but most of us choose to live in a world of high technology anyway. He points out for example that Ted Kaczynski, who went to live in a hut in the woods, "had the freedom to harvest the potatoes whenever he wanted." Technology and automation ARE constraining, and their use does diminish freedom, but they also produce a world of options that is unimaginable to previous generations.

So I think WTW and Cal Newport and people like that have it right. The best we can all do as a society is to be aware of the influences of the technologies we select, to reject the ones that don't serve our aims, and to continuously make intentional choices.
I do state that nobody writes code like that. The point was the language supports all these ways of coding and never states an opinion on what should be prefered.

Maybe there is a style implied by Odersky's Scala course, but I'm not sure even that style is considered the in fashion style these days.

Somebody needs to write these things down. People can ignore them, but at least deviation would be explicit. See my diagram with the arrows.

VR porn is largely just WebXR on webpages or SBS VR 180 videos. WebXR has been available on the Vision Pro since day 1 if you enabled it in the Safari advanced options and there are now multiple video apps that can handle SBS VR 180 playback.

All the news about it not being possible on the AVP was largely a bunch of hyperbole, misunderstandings, and misinformation.
Have they finalized the spec on vector related instruction set
In a database supporting several applications or even just a large data model it can be rather difficult to ensure a global setting to the query planner doesn't cause a regression to other queries. A query hint can be a nice way to quickly solve a performance issue without risk of regressing elsewhere. Agree they should be used as a last resort and as a sort term fix while a better, longer term fix is investigated but they are a critical tool to have in your tool box especially as postgres moves into the business critical domains occupied by the commercial database vendors.

Burke: Okay, look. What if that ship didn't even exist, huh? Did you ever think about that? I didn't know! So now, if I went in and made a major security issue out of it, everybody steps in.

I have been using ubuntu as my main OS since 2018. Like anything it takes some time to get used to it. Once you get your particular setup dialed in, it just works.

I enjoy the consistency of being in linux for all my work. For anything that ubuntu cannot do - I have a windows VM, and a Mac VM - although I rarely start the mac VM these days.
Sure, but for production environments being able to tell the planner to do it the way you want (aka "fix it for right now") is often the overriding priority.

The "make it work work perfectly from just statistics" can come later, when time is more flexible. Probably on an identical non-production copy of the environment, if that shows the same performance characteristics. ;)
You can at least prevent that.
Do these wave of stimulation cause dreaming as a side effect?
Yes, I was wondering if something could be done using 3d printed fluidic logic. If so then the entire thing could have no solid moving parts, and just be one big 3d print, except: (maybe) a single big rubber membrane in which dots are raised by fluid pressure. Plus of course the fluid pressure source; and the valves to interface the device to electronics, to input the display data. Otherwise it could be a big shift register in fluidic logic with an amplifier at each bit to output to each dot.

The difficulty with fluidic logic is that the devices from the original flowering of the field don't work at the low Reynolds numbers found in smaller devices. Maybe something from the new micro fluidic field would work, but I don't know if they can control sufficient pressure to be felt, or to raise a rubber membrane.
