Why Your Car's Key Fob Is So Hackable
This comparison falls wildly short and completely misses OP's point.

Many people own cars, but only a small number of people are deeply into cars, and for one of those people I can definitely see a vintage car getting destroyed on screen causing a negative emotional reaction.

Many people own homes, but it's their own home that they get really attached to, not the abstract concept of a home.

My wife is a lifelong, fervent string musician and I have been with her in a film where she shouted out in pain when a string instrument was brutally destroyed. OP is talking about having that kind of attachment to an artform, not about causal ownership of objects.
when the iron curtain went up i visited a corner store in east Germany. They had a lot of fresh products! The shelves were divided into days. Today's yogurt, 1 day old, 2 days, 3 days, 4, 5 with a pricing curve that started with unusually expensive, 1 day was a lot cheaper, the rest declined linearly until the last single bottle thar was 1/20 the price of the first. A really old lady at crawling speed made her way to the oldest cheapest bottle and grew a beautiful smile on her face. Mind blown, they sell everything!? I thought as I grabbed some milk at tourist trap rates. Those prices are obviously for me. The idea of spending less felt just shameful. How dare I think that?
I don't care about cars (I'm sure they are a problem for many, but not in my particular street). I do care that I can't sing and play instruments late at night.

They absolutely do not have a competent AI strategy and are many years behind the competition.
There is rather no evidence for your premise.

Most of the Common Lisp code that is accessible via public repositories conforms to conventions and is understandable.

Lisp programmers are highly motivated toward encouraging collaboration, since there aren't that many people in Lisp where you can afford to be turning people away toward projects that are easier to get into.

Also, you can easily hire 3 developers and get 3 different languages in, oh, Java or JavaScript. One person is doing Kotlin, another one Scala, ...

Three C++ programmers in the same room could also not understand each other. The greybeard speaking only C++98 with a bit of 2003 doesn't grok the words coming out of the C++20 girl's mouth and so it goes.
I know what "MVC" _stands_ for, but I'm asking what _context_ you mean that in. Are you talking about how to define your server-side data models and endpoints? How you're organizing client-side fetching and caching?

Normally "MVC" as a concept doesn't get used in the React ecosystem (the way it did with Backbone.js).

FWIW it's certainly _possible_ to use React as a script tag, but it's extremely rare. It's normally expected that the frontend _is_ actually bundled and compiled, whether it be using a pure-SPA build tool like Vite, or one of the full server-side frameworks like Next or Remix.

Note that the SPA build output is just a set of static HTML/JS/CSS files, which do not require a separate Node server process for hosting - they can be served by any HTTP server.

My own advice would be to use Vite and build as an SPA.

_If_ you absolutely want to use React as _just_ a `<script>` tag with no build step, I'd recommend also using https://github.com/developit/htm to at least give you JSX-like syntax for writing your components.
Their theory also depends on the children of the "conservatives that have the most kids" remaining conservative, which I haven't observed among my own social group. My friends that had the most conservative parents (ex: Jehovah's Witnesses) went the furthest in the opposite direction, becoming progressives who don't want many (or any) kids.

Personally, I'd rather have fewer kids and be able to give them more attention and resources.
I actually think they both cared. My comment was more to point out that she is still alive and is a computer scientist, so the foundation still has founding leadership.

There is a lot of panic over shrinking population where people project it out 1000 years and find there are only like 5 people left in the world.

Steady state population should be the long term goal, at least until we start moving into orbital colonies or something. But unfortunately that's an anathema to growth oriented economies which makes it the bad guy in economics and politics.
I'd say that's a first world thing for the generation that grew up on SSRIs and the pathologization and medical treatment of every negative emotion from grief to mild discomfort. Not specifically a HN problem.
What's the deal with the seemingly-spam links at the bottom of this page? Does it contribute to SEO somehow?
Sure, but ChatGPT, DALL-E, and SORA and probably the 3 biggest "magic" like products to be released in tech, so higher probability that it's true.
The particularly frustrating part is that is usually way cheaper to put sound barriers during construction, than retrofitting later on.

We have been discussing this with my neighbors. We are both committed to eventually pull the trigger to retrofit, but the initial estimate is $70K and one apartment being under heavy construction for months...
> I don’t think it is healthy if you are emotionally distressed seeing a trumpet being crushed.

My first thought was the exact opposite: watching the specific ad without being distressed, shows an emotionally damaged human being. Especially the last part where the toy gets crashed screaming is really messed up.

They don't owe us anything, but that's completely unrelated to the current discussion. They can be completely free to do whatever they want, and users can also disagree with that and voice said disagreement. It's a two way street. Especially in a situation where there's only "one" maintainer per package per distro, meaning that users of the distro (who can be other maintainers too) can disagree with it and openly so. There's a reason why Debian doesn't allow a maintainer to say, gut systemd or switch to another init system unilaterally just because they are volunteering to maintain the package

I picked up on the context of all the human experiences we perceive as wrapped up in those items - as sorts of resiviors for human emotion and symbols of self actualization. I think a more apt analogy would be: you wouldn't host an estate sale at the site of that person's funeral.
I really like that book but it is still highly unrealistic, since the grid going out != every small electronic circuit being fried. I'm not really clear on the issues with EMPs vs CMEs, but CMEs at least aren't going to induce dangerous voltages on a 5 foot long conductor routed inside a piece of metal (car). For sure not inside a cell phone or wristwatch.

It's more about tripping out the grid, or sensitive inadequately-protected grid-connected electronics. Even then, the short will likely happen in the input stage of the power conversion, where repairs with salvage parts are not infeasible.
The API would provide pseudoranges and also the carrier phase on some phones, so it should be possible to calculate a solution with corrections.

actually, psychedelics help people get in touch with their core issues like childhood traumas which cause people to turn to drugs, games, overeating, etc, and help alleviate PTSD, OCD, etc. psychedelics are anti-addiction.

so we definitely need psychedelics rescheduled.
I don’t understand the outrage. Does anyone seriously think an iPad is going to replace a trumpet or a piano?

If you went out for dinner at a jazz place, would you accept the entertainment being someone fiddling with an iPad?

The romantic ideal is that art is not about consumption, but the reality, both historically and currently, is that art objects are by and large made to be bought and sold. If you disqualify all works meant for consumption, you would have very little left that we currently recognize as art.
If I reviewed this decision, based on everything presented, I'd probably deny the appeal too.

As an American leftist, I never thought the show was particularly Thatcherite. Just as often some nitwit politician wants something dumb to win a by-election and the civil service has to save the day. Sir Humphrey is just as often the hero as the villain.

So in a sense what you say is true, there’s not really enough to bad your public policy on. You just learn everyone is self-interested sometimes, and institutional inertia is real.
What's inconceivable about the lyrics being generated?

A single song's lyrics easily fits into the context window of virtually any LLM, and with some of the bigger and better ones (Opus) you could probably feed it every known song's lyrics in your desired genre before asking it to create a new set of verses.
>GUIs aren’t composable with other tools easily.

None of the tools on display here are composable either, in fact almost all modern TUIs are literally indistinguishable from GUIs, using the same widgets and user paradigms you'd find in a desktop app, but reimplemented on top a text rendering engine, they're not CLI tools.

It's basically the same thing we did on the web where webapps sort of pretend that they're not sitting on a text protocol but at least there it's out of necessity. On top of a functioning graphic stack there's no point for TUIs to exist.

Nice work - you've obviously completely demolished the objection to the translation by the user above. In fact one can verify the correct ("invalidate"/"nullify") translation directly, by looking at the original arabic word that was used (and its root).

While you're at it, perhaps you can also explain this fun passage from the 1988 covenant:

The Islamic Resistance Movement aspires to the realisation of Allah's promise, no matter how long that should take. The Prophet, Allah bless him and grant him salvation, has said

"The Day of Judgement will not come about until Moslems fight the Jews (killing the Jews), when the Jew will hide behind stones and trees. The stones and trees will say O Moslems, O Abdulla, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him. Only the Gharkad tree, (evidently a certain kind of tree) would not do that because it is one of the trees of the Jews."

Any translation issues with the phrases "killing of the Jews" and "There is a Jew behind me, come and kill him"? There are also two appearances of the phrase "battle with the Jews" -- can you explain those as well, please?

The JSTOR article conspicuously avoids analysis of these passages.
Isn't the concept of pollution highly subjective?
Back in the early Pocket PC days, I think it was called Microsoft Today would sync daily news stories to read offline (this was long before WiFi was affordable and ubiquitous).

The future involves UBI - there is no other way.

But, before that,

- A lot of people will be shed from jobs because companies seem to prefer this over loss of shareholder value

- A lot of products will become shitty as they try to extract money.

- A lot of companies will collapse as people will not have the money until UBI is implemented.
I'd love to hear an explanation of how a modern web or mobile app backend could reasonably be expected to create a new native DB role for every new end user and manage their DB access credentials securely, such that the overall risk of a SQL injection attack is lessened compared to the single-role-per-app model.
I'm replying just to +1 this as well. This has saved me multiple times not from phishing attacks but from simple mistakes such as entering a password into a HTTP page when the website supports HTTPS.

Often I'm just browsing along and try to get KeepassXC to autofill a password only to be frustrated when it refuses to work. Then the frustration turns to relief when I go into KeepassXC and see that I've entered "https://website.com" into KeepassXC's URL box causing KeepassXC to only autofill the password on the HTTPS variant of the website and I was on the HTTP variant of the page.

Obviously it's best for the website to just setup HSTS, but I can't fix that for them.

I previously used auto-type and always thought browser extensions were insecure until I realized this.
I've always wondered (especially after a Dr Hossenfelder video about it). Even if we figured out all of the tech to get such a solar cell satellite into orbit for a reasonable cost, they still need a giant ground station to accept the power. How much power would that ground station generate if it was simply a bunch of solar cells instead of microwave receiver? A space cell might get power 24/7, but if 75% is lost in the conversion, how is that better than a ground based cell that gets power for only 6 hours a day?
Interestingly that probably means having proper support for 2 external displayport on MBA as well, I'd assume...

It'd be great if there were better ways for consumers to understand what they're getting.

A semi recent house hunting trip involved trying to shout between rooms, going outside and banging on pots and pans. Very informal ways of trying to guess.

It's be wonderful if there were some standard ways to assess, that builders could advertise. Figuring out how to make a rating that is both not crazy expensive to assess, and also meaningful enough that consumers place some level of trust in it isnt easy.

But wow, it feels like there has to be visibility into what we get to drive change. And right now there's just so few ways to know what you're getting.

It really weirds me out how many people use a sprinkling of vim keybindings but don't use more. Like how many vim users don't know <C-[> (esc) or contextual completion like <C-x><C-p> (:help ins-completion). I see so many people use plugins for things that already exist in vim but people never discuss.

One that bites me a lot is when a vim keybinding is implemented, has insert mode, and they don't also rebind <C-w>. Go from trying to delete a word (backwards) but end up losing a whole session. It's such muscle memory I sometimes do it on webpages, but maybe that one is a feature instead of a bug lol
What a loss. I hope I join the community in wishing the best for his loved ones.

But also what a life. He could have quit 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 years ago and been in the history books. What’s now called Chern-Simons is a monumental result in topology that IIRC dates to the mid-60s.

Then he empirically disproved the strong-form EMH, a result in economics of which I’m unaware of any peer in its conclusiveness.

Then he built SUNY Stoneybrook into possibly the best lab for topology and differential geometry in the world.

Geometer, topologist, cryptographer, outspoken and fearless critic of needless war, trader, teacher, monument.

Legend. May he rest.
Btw, this is not actually deleted, but put in the trash can.

You could, but the minimum length of a space elevator is 35,786 km and the maximum distance between two points on the surface of the Earth is about 20,000 km, so you might as well just build a surface power grid: your winter solstice midnight is someone else's midday summer solstice, and no dunkelflaute is worldwide.

Much easier on the ground, too, because you don't need to invent even one single new tech — not even better superconductors because even aluminium will work if you make the "wire" thick enough (scare quotes because, by coincidence, the circumference of the earth, 40,000 km, almost perfectly matches the conductivity of aluminium, 3.8e7 S/m, and you get a 1 Ω line from a 1 square meter cross section, which is a pretty thick "wire").

Plus, once it gets down from a space elevator, you then have to distribute it around the ground anyway.

Simons has been out of day-to-day management for quite some time. He was succeeded by co-CEOs who were then themselves succeeded, IIRC. (These are my recollections from reading The Man Who Solved the Market). Apparently his management style was always pretty hands off and they operated multiple successful quant strategies that were led by others. Their Medallion fund returned 22% after (huge) fees in 2022 according to the WSJ. [1] That's the employee only fund that has blown the doors off for 30+ years. They do have a few other funds that manage much more $ and manage external money that have never performed at Medallion's level. In other words, it seems like succession will not be a major risk for them in the near term.

> macbooks have long been the most capable dev laptops on the planet

I personally don't find that to be true. The jobs that forced Macbooks on me were fraught with development issues all stemming from macOS.

In Windows, I am currently running Windows 11, several versions of Ubuntu, and even NixOS. WSL vastly outclasses VMs on macOS (which barely work anyway on macOS) and the "Linux but not Linux" nature of macOS.

> the great man needed to subject himself to work that was well beneath his talents

There's this cool anecdote of Mel Brooks hiring him to be the narrator to History Of The World Part 1. Brooks paid Welles $25000 for five days of work, from 9 to 5. But Welles was done by 11:30 the first day, and it was "all perfect". So Brooks asked him what he would do with the money, and Welles said "Cuban cigars and Sevruga caviar. I would have included women but I'm getting just a little too heavy for that."

He chose Sevruga because in his opinion it was just as good as Beluga, and half the price.

As told by Mel Brooks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Hhwp4tm6Wc

Here is the rule of thumb. Does the "scientist" pay some serious price for being wrong ?

Doctors lose business if they are not very good. Bakers lose business if they are not very good. Car mechanics lose business if they cant diagnose problems properly.

The "ai safety", "bio ethicist", "gender justice researchers", "transrights researchers", "diversity officers" etc. pay no price of being wrong or peddling fake made up ideas, falsified data or pure nonsense. On the contrary more nonsense you can peddle higher you go in this field. Hence it is safe to assume a lot of these professions are full of fake, fraudulent individuals.

PS. There are indeed good people in these fields but they are very few and hard to find.
English uses "dozens" in more situations than Dutch uses "tens", also because "tens" in Dutch is a three-syllable word. It's often just not idiomatic

I often find myself having started a sentence in Dutch that I can't finish without borrowing something from English, and I remember a recent example actually involved the word "dozens" (although I forgot what the sentence was about so I can't reproduce it here). That sentence should have been constructed entirely differently, but I now use English in my day-to-day communications at work, at home, and also most online ones so some stuff slips through.

It blew my mind some months ago when I used an English saying, perfectly translated (no loan words, good sentence structure), but entirely nonexistent in Dutch. I can't ever have heard anyone said it but it came out without any thought. The person I was talking to is also proficient in English and understood what I meant, but whether or not their face gave something away, it took me five seconds to realize what I had said. I guess the brain stores words in a form of meaning that transcends language, and just calls upon the language neural net to convert that into muscle movements for speech? Actually, no, then you'd have gotten the word-for-word translation; it must be storing more than single words in some sort of language lookup center, or maybe something that converts between the two structures if you do enough translating between a given language pair? Either way, mind-boggling stuff
