> Silicon Valley on a mission

Seriously and sincerely, I'd like to hear a dozen definitions of what
people think that "mission" is in 2024.

I think we long departed from "making the world a better place". And
yet the change simply cannot be explained by greed, money, or
obsession with growth.

Surely a lot of the venture capitalists that frequent this forum must
be as confused as the next person if they still hold on to the ideal
of "doing good with money".

What I see is the rise of a terrifying quasi-religious anti-humanist
cult with overtones of masochism and self-hatred (of human life).

I'm no big fan of Steve Jobs, but clearly he would be horrified by
many of the anti-human sentiments expressed daily in forums like this.

Is it too late to redefine digital technology as humane, and return to
the roots of SV [0] ?

Huh, very interesting. Who is 'us' above, and do you have any recommended reading on the Phoenician maybe-not-state?
As a simple workaround for the "flip between two pages" feature that is so easy in dead tree but harder on computers, I usually just open the pdf twice, if the software allows two running copies, or if the software is too clever, I just copy the pdf into a second copy and open that. I can then alt-tab between them and scroll to different parts.

On the phone, I can use Acrobat Reader and Koreader at the same time.
Yeah, apparently its hard to just move on with your life after watching something you dont like. This making front page on HN is wild. The echo chamber is sealed tight.
Can be applied to Ad Blockers too.

We need new Laws clarifying what is Attention Theft, treating Attention as a finite resource and specifying rules for Attention Allocation. Just like with Spectrum Allocation.

Taking too long for this to happen cuz law makers are all addicted or dependent on Social Media. But as more chaos monkeys are propped up by Social Medias Attention Allocation systems pressure shall build.
Then why are you using a Macbook in the first place? There are plenty of Ryzen 7000 and Intel Ultra laptops with similar performance out there. The key benefit of a Macbook is the battery life and sane sleeping when portable.
To be fair, you probably can paint on canvas with an iPad, if the canvas is sufficiently large and you use the impasto technique.
So I should change my shell, have it deployed everywhere, and learn a new language so that I can change:

It's hard to understand if you are including Boy and Heron or not. If you are, then obviously there are recent master pieces.

But I'd say you are in for a treat: Satoshi Kon.

Perfect Blue, Paprika, Tokyo Godfather are all cinematic master pieces!

I also mostly agree with the hype that surrounded "Your Name", although I don't think Makoto's other works are nearly as impressive.
What are third places? How do I find one?
Looked around a bit and didn't see anything about forks, does it have a wrapper for it? It's not clear from the introductory material how the background jobs work, if they can be IPC:d and foregrounded and so on.

It's one of the things that keeps me reaching for picolisp, the 'fork convenience function is quite nice for doing interactive parallel 'batching'.

Was it weird, though? Environmentally friendly branding for companies has never required a company to be environmentally friendly, it's almost always just about being fashionable and avoiding accountability.
First of all, congrats on the launch!

As it is a somewhat cornerstone of your pitch, I can't help but comment on the use case.

For the simple reason that any person's gut microbiome - which varies considerably and is the focus of intense research as too little is yet known - both consumes and modulates the processing of calories, counting calories is generally considered bad science and an entirely ineffective way to measure, guide or sustain a healthy lifestyle [1][2][3].

Personally, I think unless you're diabetic, in which case you'd anyway rely on an entirely different monitoring/ tracking system, it's just a whoefully ineffective KPI.

Most people today for example rather grossly undersupply fiber.
If an app could deduce contents of calories, fiber and fat contents of a meal and track healthy composition/ supply for each, that would truly support a healthy lifestyle.

Good job. More LLMs in Games please!
Anyone know when was the last time Apple apologized for anything?
Yeah, it's a hilarious mimicry of their own process: "recycle" (aka destroy) everyone's old tech and sell them the new version of the same thing. It's like the most direct/blatant depiction of the lifecycle of consumer tech I've ever seen.
> I didn't even vote for these people

Have you not? One of my disagreements with the Australian ways is that - to the best of my information - you are obliged, during voting, to express your preference for _all_ candidates - as a ranking voting system mandating the inclusion of all the options in the list of preferences.

So, if you had, "good, acceptable, bad, unacceptable, areyoujoking", you are mandated to implicitly express some degree of preference including "unacceptable" and "areyoujoking" - which is absurd.
How much LLM training data is there, in the limit?
>Can you name any other examples of this happening throughout history, in the US or anywhere else, where a completely self-isolated tiny minority group took power and displaced everyone through "out-procreating" them?

Kiryas Joel NY, Lakewood NJ, certain parts of Brooklyn. They basically have their own government, and they have far less state government oversight due to politicians not wanting to go against them.

They drive around NYC with vehicles that look like cop cars, acting like cops, which would get most other groups charged with impersonating a government official. They elect themselves to the school board and vote to prioritize funding for their group’s children, and deprioritize funding for any other group’s children. Etc etc.

Not that they are the only group to have done it, but these are your easy to google examples.
it's sarcasm, quite deadpan at that.

On the other hand if your product has become a commodity and the new version barely changes from the previous one, you are entering detergent advertising territory.

Well, not everything. I dream of a world where Signal forks the UI layer from Telegram and then just does their thing.

Using network location effectively means streaming your location to Google any time any app is using the geolocation APIs. The way it gets a location so quickly and power-efficiently is by scanning for nearby wifi networks and asking Google's servers where it could be. When you have a splic location lock, it sends its location along with nearby wifi networks to Google so they can update their database.

i don't get they need to apologize. I watched the ad and though it was very creative and the the squeezy ball at the end was funny. why is everyone getting so up in arms and offended by this? I guess this is our society now where people just look for things that they want to trigger and offend them.
I can definitely confirm our initial reaction was "WTF" followed with idea that the dev team is making fun of us... but we went in and run traceroutes and there it was :O

Was fixed in incredible coincidence manner, too - the CTO of the network link provider was in their offices (in the same building as me) and felt bored. Apparently having went through all the levels from hauling cables in datacenter up to CTO level, after short look at traceroutes he just picked a phone, called NOC, and ordered a line card replacement on the router :D
What's a "dwarf proof"?

It's been an open secret in the industry for a long time that autism in whales is caused by harpoons, but big plankton doesn't want it to become public knowledge. In fact many believe that smaller harpoons can have the same effect in humans as studies have shown (2023, Ishmael et al.)
Sounds dangerous when someone is overtaking you if one of your "mirrors" is lying to you about where the car is.
It isn't unusual for drivers who are actively maintaining situational awareness to monitor traffic behind them in advance of planned lane changes, etc.
Did not see this one coming. Ideally Apple and Google also have app stores for other platforms to get some real competition.
I'm interested in creation of remote, horizontal game dev worker cooperative
Hi!

As I wrote in the title I’m looking for people interested in such an endeavor. I already tried creating such a project but due to internal disagreements it didn’t pan out, still I am very interested in trying this out. Game dev is very susceptible to exploitation from capitalists which is very unfortunate given that means of production are essentially socialized already - we have FOSS software like Godot that is enough to create very elaborate projects and we can collaborate remotely so no land is needed either. This makes it I think a very fruitful direction to go, because costs of game dev are not very big and returns can be big if the game is successful.

I know that there is a huge competition in game dev, but given that in worker cooperative nothing is siphoned by capitalists at the top I think it’s not impossible to get to the level of subsistence on game dev, while being able to affect the culture and promote cooperativism among the general population and among video game creators. I don’t have a specific game dev experience but I like solving complex problems and I am interested in doing a worker cooperative, I already did quite a bit of research during my previous attempt at this type of worker cooperative and I would for this coop to get inspiration from Igalia, Motion Twin and Sociocracy.

At my last project people had issues that I am fine with anti-foundationalist philosophies so please consider that I like those and I like to discuss from those lenses. I am very good at self-directed learning and I could especially do stuff like coding, design, writing plot and characters, I could research some more legalistic side of cooperative but it would be nice certainly to have someone who has some expertise here. That still leave places for people interested in audio and graphics and I am very fine with redundancy in some aspects of the required “expertise”, still I am a big believer in learning by doing and getting feedback and improving based on this feedback so I am mostly looking for people willing to learn, explore and collaborate to hopefully create something cool.

I would like to create games such as Planescape Torment, Disco Elysium, Hotline Miami, FTL: Faster Than Light, Spec Ops: The Line, Portal 2, Undertale, Getting Over It, The Talos Principle, Vampire the Masqurade: Bloodlines, KOTOR 2. If you are interested in this project please get in touch, we may correspond a bit and see if we would like to collaborate!

I somewhat wonder about trying to release those games on FOSS licenses (still with asking for “paying” for them to support the creators), that would be “purer” from anarchist perspective than using proprietary license but this is not something I have thought about that much. The pro would be it being impossible to get the license stolen how almost happened to Disco Elysium creators.
Funny, if you were to ask that in North America, you'd be called xenophobic.
Today's "1984" ad would have to include someone throwing a sledgehammer through an iMac, and similarly destroying an iPhone. It wouldn't be an advertisement for any corporation though, because a truly game-changing act today would be to opt out of the extractive and coercive cycle of modern proprietary technology.
Imagine you did have an idea, put a lot of effort building it, just so that some random person takes a dump on your work. It wouldn't be nice, would it?

Unnecessarily harsh and misses the point that this is a new VCS that brings valid new ideas to table. As with any new thing, if it's not for you, it's not for you.

SBArbeit, ignore this kind of comment. Not because it's not valid feedback, but because it isn't worth it.
PCM5102A has 32 bits, why is it still synthesized by lofi? If you only need lofi, can you consider an esp32 dac? edit, it looks like sr is a bottleneck...
It goes beyond aesthetics for me. It's like they took everyone's deepest fears about technology and AI, that it will replace or "crush" authentic human experience and creativity, and they just embraced and celebrate it by literally crushing representations of human creativity. At least I'm glad the corporate types were actually honest about their goals, though, instead of their typical doublespeak
They are not destroyed, this is a framing of those that want to produce outrage.
These things are compacted into a iPad.
The things were cgi, nothing was destroyed in the process.
So according to you, there should be no innovation, never?

Professional musician (pianist) here. It’s an outlandish take on solving affordability by destroying acoustic instruments and replacing them with iPads. Let’s see someone play the Prokofiev Toccata in real time using Garageband, no MIDI files allowed.

Which is precisely the caveat I mentioned at the beginning:

> and for example use jsonb columns and later move data out of it if you notice you need to query on it more performantly you can get very far.

If you put data inside where you want the database to enforce integrity...then it's the wrong place for the data. If you are getting problems on scaling, you are relying on data in jsonb columns for heavy queries which you should not. In that case it should've been moved out already.

As always it's about tradeoffs and being pragmatic. There's no 100% way of saying jsonb is always the wrong choise, or always the right choice. You still have to be smart about when to reach for it.

> I would rather see a wide table with a bunch of bools indicating various options, personally. When that gets annoying or unperformant, split it out into logical groups. Color schemes can be their own table, email marketing preferences can be their own table, etc.

The point is to exactly avoid this kind of overhead when you have zero paying customers, as that's premature optimization. Of course from a pure data model perspective it's nice, but from a business perspective you don't need that until it hurts and you have to split it out.
No, but innovation should be major, not cosmetic.
Maybe the techbros should stop themselves by asking "Why?!" instead of "Why not?"
Are there any alternatives to Nvidia's AI Chat with RTX?
I downloaded and tried to install NVIDIA's AI chatbot from this link: https://www.nvidia.com/en-in/ai-on-rtx/chat-with-rtx-generative-ai/, but it requires an RTX 30 or 40 series graphics card.

I'm looking for an individual AI chatbot that allows me to input my personal files and collaborate with AI. Are there any similar alternatives with lower hardware requirements?

p.s. My graphics card is an RTX 2070, running Windows 10.

I know there's a way to install a similar chatbot using LLaMA and WSL2 manually (and this is on my list if I will fail to find "click a button personal AI"), but I really like the simplicity of the NVIDIA one.
Interesting idea. I assume with quite a number of technical difficulties (even despite the manual work for each file type).

However, I don't think making money from this will work. A new version control system must be 100% open source. Otherwise it will not be an option for most people. Even when only selling extensions for certain file types and keeping the core open source, I don't think this will work, as you keep away the main interesting feature then.
I like Peskin's Introduction to QFT, but Zee's QFT in a Nutshell is also good.
I bought my German made mandolin that's like 100 years old for less than 10% of an ipad, and it'll never be obsolete, that's the whole point...

It'll always be up to date, I'll always find the parts to fix it, and even if one-day it somehow gets damaged beyond repair I can recycle it in my fireplace in about 30 seconds

I feel like people making your point don't see the fundamental difference between a functional tool like a hammer and an artistic tool like a musical instrument, and it's kind of scary tbh.
Trying to understand what cases we would want to use FPGAs rather than GPUs.

Memory bandwidth for FPGAs seems worse, so for serving models don't GPUs still win out?

I've heard the bluff claim among historians and I think there is truth to that, though the "make them outspend" motif is more contentious.

From https://scienceandglobalsecurity.org/archive/2017/01/did_sta...:

> The evidence suggests that although the Soviet Union expressed serious concerns about U.S. missile defense program, SDI was not a decisive factor in advancing arms control negotiations. Instead, the program seriously complicated U.S.-Soviet arms control process. SDI also failed to dissuade the Soviet Union from investing in development of ballistic missiles. The Soviet Union quickly identified ways to avoid a technological arms race with the United States and focused on development of advanced missiles and anti-satellite systems to counter missile defenses.
Your Name (2016, Makoto Shinkai) and Ping Pong the Animation (2014, Masaaki Yuasa) are both IMO top notch (and the creators are active and have extensive oeuvres). The Shape of Voice (2016, Kyoto Animation (RIP)) was also much acclaimed. Of these, I recommend Ping Pong the most (and Yuasa's other works as well).

I suppose for more sci-fi/fantasy, Rebuild of Evangelion (2007-2021) might be interesting, although to me, its popularity in Japan and why the retelling was made is actually more interesting to me than the works themselves. It didn't win any particular awards or acclaim, but I was a fan of the incredibly stylish manga series, and I personally enjoyed the Blame! (2017, Hiroyuki Shesita) CGI anime film for those into the Japanese post-cyber-apocalypse sci-fi aesthetic.

I think these days, the economics of anime has driven more interesting work into series rather than features. Recently some memorable ones I've enjoyed are Steins;Gate (2011-2015, White Fox), Devilman: Crybaby (2018, Studio SARU), Cyberpunk: Edgerunners (2022, Trigger), Pluto (2023, M2), and Frieren (2023, Madhouse).
