Some time ago I also copied the list at https://punkx.org/jackdoe/30.html so its easier to wget (e.g. get all the arxiv pdfs)

wget -A .pdf -r -H -D arxiv.org -nd https://punkx.org/jackdoe/30.html

A friend and me used pdfunite to join them in one pdf and then printed them in a local printing shop in good a4 paper https://www.printenbind.nl/ as a spiral book, the end result is very good (also there is space around the pages so that its easy to take notes).

Keep in mind there is no confirmation that this is the actual list.
> Reading code for correctness takes only a moment

It absolutely does not, especially when you take a step outside the simplest code.

Even if I know how to verify it, that can take longer than writing it myself because there might be many different ways to solve the problem, with different logic, trade-offs and failure states.

> Furthermore, code which is meant to be depended upon should come with tests, and if those tests pass with bad code, the tests are wrong.

You can't "fix" bad code with tests. Even if you could get a perfect test coverage for bugs (you can't), there's no test that capturers soft attributes like readibility and maintainability.
"western country" is a very fuzzy concept. The definition needs a list of proper list of requirements otherwise you have countries with very varying levels of individual rights

Yes! back in 2001, I wrote a set of tools I called Ted's Toolbox, to help me with GPS, astronomy and coding things I needed. It's in Java (with Swing UI), and free today. I still use it several times a week. Download the toolbox here (get the folders too), and you must have Java installed. Then run the .jar file. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/i9rqkcpqe3a742vkx29w8/AMuBUYs...

I can't imagine an archaeologist or historian studying e.g. Pierre de Fermat ever saying, "Good thing we have so few documents and artifacts! That way we know what was really important to him."

What's the proof for Fermat's Last Theorem again? Doesn't matter, it was just a footnote anyway so let's not bother preserving it. It doesn't matter that it took our smartest minds 358 years of trail and error to rediscover the proof. It can always be discovered again.
I don't know if it is just me but since this AI "summer" started I have ever pulled a single snippet from any of the available services. I'm absolutely curious what kind of code people are getting from it that is so much more valuable than writting things from scratch and use corresponding documentation, examples or even just source code of the framework/libraries that are needed to accomplish a task.

Simple. Store everything. I give you an example: the clay tablets written in cuneiform discovered at Ur. They were disposed of by Sumerians, possibly because they have fulfilled their purpose and were simply thrown away. They deal with important things like commercial transactions, but also unimportant things like a personal letter or a poem. This unimportant things pretty much taught all we know about the Sumerian language: syntax, vocabulary, regional variations, etc. In archaeological terms, a refuse is a huge treasure trove, precisely because no one chose what to throw away. Everything is there. It's entirely up to the archaeologist to comb and come up with an interpretation.
That is a good question and I'm struck in the English language between lost and gone.

If it's just lost I might still find it. I believe the post I'm looking for is lost. I don't know if it's gone. If it's gone I will never find it.

Could be it if it's lost there must be knowledge of it?

Didn't they promise regulators, that they wouldn't exclude other platforms from Activision games, CoD in particular? So if they now give it away to the users of their platform but users of other platforms have to pay top dollar, is that not more or the less the same as excluding them. They basically use the Activision franchise to force users on their platform.
We can't send to jail, the same people the government previously praised as being national heroes. Discrediting him afterwards would also mean discrediting the government who didn't do their due diligence. So they'll cover for him in order to protect themselves. It's a story as old as humanity.
> Without knowing the details of where the wage is being used, it's impossible to form a coherent narrative

We use the average because we do not know the details of where the wage is being used. I'm aware that I've even made a pretty big assumption that the OP we're talking about is even living in America, but lacking any more specific information all we have to fall back on is probability. Hacker News is majority American users, so I feel it's a reasonable assumption.

America is made up of many small markets, sure. But the nature of averages is such that some people will be below the average, most will be clustered around the average, and some will be higher, regardless of which market they live in

Some markets may have a higher income floor than others, but the highest minimum wage in the USA right now is 17 an hour, which is roughly 35k per year if you're full time. That means there are no markets in the country that have a higher yearly income floor than the national average.

So here's my narrative: It actually does not matter what market this person lived in, whether it was super high cost of living or otherwise. They were still earning a salary that was likely 2-3x more than what many other people in their market were likely making, which is a pretty privileged spot to be in no matter where you live

It also is important to remember the context. This OP was talking about living on just one income, allowing their wife to not work a job and be a full time child raiser instead. Having someone making 2x the average means they are earning as much in one income as 2 average earning parents would be, even in the same market. That was the intention of my criticism in the first place: It's relatively easy to say "just have one partner stay home and raise the kids" when you earn as much as two average people!

This is true regardless of the market you live in because you will still be able to afford a much higher quality of life than a single income making the "average". Adjusted for the market you live in, of course, but still!
Even the idea of payment to access a community is just absurd. If I'm an integral part of a tight-knit community I can see myself participating in common expenses, but I would never pay for access. At that point you're just a consumer buying a service.

Personally, I prefer brutalism over ultra-modern glass buildings. That's because at least brutalism has an aesthetic and a commitment to communicating something through its design. At least it looks like something.

In that respect I think it's more similar to older ornamented aesthetics than it is to modern glass and steel skyscrapers or McMansions.

Software development has gone too diverse. Recently I had a case where I was programming in Matlab I had to use some PowerShell commands. I have no idea how PowerShell even works, but I know enough programming that when phind.com spit out a 4 line script I was able to use it. All this happened in like 10mins. I've done something like this before, almost always trying to work around Matlab limitations, but those cases took a whole day and so much frustration. I like the AI experience very valuable just for the mental peace.

Edit: before someone accuses me of doing what trovalds is saying, I understand that code now. I was able to probe the model to explain it to me to the same degree as my understanding of my own code. It was the same feeling as when my team innovated over my previous work and I just asked them how they did it.

I know the pain when developers want to start some new project but just don't have an idea. I had this pain for years. Now, with AI, it is easily possible for me to build a product like SaaS Forge.

All I needed was a good prompt to generate really good ideas and some topics, and boom, the product ready.

It's completely free. I don't want to have anything. Just test it and give me some feedback.

Thank you, and check out saas-forge.com! :)

'My customer has given me the documentation to arcane antiquated format X (insert pdf, but it includes 24-bit integers, hex encoded data, semantically signficant whitespace). Here is a sample of the message format, and this struct should represent the contents. Please write me a Python parser which takes an input file in the format and provides the output. In particular, given input X, the output should be equivalent to Y. There should be a set of unit tests for important functionality, which should explain to a reader what is complicated about the format'.
is something that ChatGPT4 will just drop out a solution to that works in a few seconds.

If your job is to make an accurate parser for it, probably you want to hand code it. If your job is to make sense of the data the customer has provided you with, this is merely an impediment to your actual job, and ChatGPT has you covered. Yes, there'll be mistakes. But ChatGPT can do in a few seconds what'd take you hours.

I wonder if IBE could be useful for the cloud. If you have thousands of microservices, could IBE remove the need for key exchange for all of these microservices to communicate securely? One microservice could send a message to another microservice based on its identity (hostname?), no need to fetch it's public key first.

When I recently asked some air traffic controllers what would happen if GPS became unavailable, it was grumpy sounds all around.

I understand a scramble to vector everything to land everything would result in a very busy day for them, because suddenly most planes would be unable to safely navigate, and thus effectively grounded.

My friends in Munich or the Ruhr region don't seem to know of any "massive" G.fast availability... which in any way is very late to the party. But I stand corrected.

I didn't know about network equipment from other manufacturers, not sure why we're stuck with Huawei here, but it's a dead end. The plan is to migrate as many G.fast subscribers as possible to FTTH in the next 5 years, and eventually to mmWave 5G in a few corner cases.
An exact match is of course a derivative, let's call it the identity derivative. So in:

let new_code = f previous_work

where f could be identity. But it could be other transformations such as: rename_all_the_things, move_items_around, object_oriented_to_functional, and what not. Probably a combination. But here's the kicker: all permutations of these functions are all derivatives.

And we don't have to be naive here, thinking that I'm talking about using refactoring tools on an actual code base because I want to hide the fact that I want to steel some piece of code.

I'm talking about the fact that I've seen so much code and this has in fact taught me basically everything I know. I have trained myself on a stream of works. Just like an AI. The difference is in scale, not in nature.

> I know it sounds devastating, but you have to get used to the fact that a new era has begun. The pre-war era.

It is madness that we're in a position where this can be baldly stated by a PM and there has been no "huh?" moment when people stop and assess how badly the broader West's military, economic and diplomatic efforts have failed over the last 30 odd years. Possibly longer. I wasn't expecting to see land wars in Europe even before the cold war ended.

Humanity has unprecedented destructive power at our command and the systems that sustain 8 billion people are delicate. We can't afford to be in a "pre-war era" and act like this is just going to be something to deal with when we get to it plus a little prep in specialist domains.
Maybe it’s different where you are, but around here that filter would mean I could almost only patronize large chains. Small businesses have Facebook or maybe insta (which is much worse, Facebook business pages grant far more access to a non-logged-in user) and no website. Restaurants might have a barely-updated website (the updates are on Facebook) that links to some third party ordering service, maybe.
Its like german but with english syntax

I don't want to be too pedantic, but it's not. Dutch syntax is very similar to German, both are typically analyzed as an SOV (subject-object-verb) language with movement of the finite verb to the V2 position in declarative main clauses, unlike English.

Word order of Dutch and German clauses (+ some other Germanic languages) are typically described in terms of topological fields [1] and Dutch and German have very similar (albeit not the same) topological field constraints, leading to very similar word orders. Like German, Dutch has grammatical genders (three like German, though only two are distinguished in definite articles), similar verb conjugation, etc.

People are often led to believe that Dutch is more similar to English because it doesn't have overt case marking.

[1] Simplified, a clause is partitioned into a vorfeld, mittelfeld, and nachfeld by the so-called brackets, which are the V2 and verb cluster positions.
The other side of this is that if you become paralyzed by decisions because 0.001% of people are bothered by it, you're not gonna make it.

libpng is reasonably fast, and has SIMD optimizations. Make sure to compile it with a modern CPU target.

The biggest bottleneck in PNG decoding is zlib, which is not part of libpng. There are faster inflate implementations, but nowhere near 5x.

The second slowest thing is unfiltering, but it takes only 10-20% of the decoding time, so even lightspeed implementation would make little difference.

There is possibility of a 10x difference when encoding, but that's not due to libpng being slow, but because it's possible to apply worse compression and there are dedicated crappy-but-veryfast encoders.
imho it's a legitimate use of the term. though the tension of meaning suggests that there is room for clarification
Everyone involved in building these things has to have some amount of hubris. Its going to come smashing down on them. What's going unsaid in all of this is just how swiftly the tide has turned against this tech industry attempt to save itself from a downtrend.

The whole industry at this point is acting like the tobacco industry back when they first started getting in hot water. No doubt the prophecies about imminent AGI will one day look to our descendents exactly like filters on cigarettes. A weak attempt to prevent imminent regulation and reduced profitability as governments force an out of control industry to deal with the externalities involved in the creation of their products.

If it wasn't abundantly clear...I agree with you that AGI is infinitely far away. Its the damage that's going to be caused by sociopaths (Sam Altman at the top of the list) in attempting to justify the real things they want (money) in their march towards that impossible goal that concerns me.

> There is no need to engage in conspiracy theories here

Please do not mischaracterize my post in such a light. There are no conspiracy theories here.

There are ongoing, completely public, campaigns by both the Executive and Legislative branch to regulate access to generative models. There is a reason this press release vaguely uses the term "deepfake", which is completely distinct from dragging and dropping a minor's face onto an adult's body. Whether that reason is deliberate or negligent, it still serves the greater purpose.

The debate over access to generative models with respect to CSAM has been hot for a while now, to ignore that debate and characterize my post as perpetuating conspiracy theories is just disingenuous.

Why would a lack of conditionals remove the need for uber shaders..? Or why would the presence of conditionals cause a need for uber shaders? How are these connected?

It's common to have many shader variants exactly because you want to avoid 'if' statements; conditionals are turned into shader-compile-time options. Uber shaders are about turning those compile-time options back into runtime options to have a fallback shader to run while the right shader variant is being compiled.
A third of the country is literally called "Western Australia."

Jokes aside, a Western country is typically defined as a nation with cultural, political, and economic ties to Europe. Our UK roots, democratic governance, military ties (e.g., AUKUS), and post-war European migration certainly place us in this category...

"""A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of attending FQXi’s Setting Time Aright conference, part of which took place on a cruise from Bergen, Norway to Copenhagen, Denmark. (Why aren’t theoretical computer science conferences ever held on cruises? If nothing else, it certainly cuts down on attendees sneaking away from the conference venue.) This conference brought together physicists, cosmologists, philosophers, biologists, psychologists, and (for some strange reason) one quantum complexity blogger to pontificate about the existence, directionality, and nature of time. If you want to know more about the conference, check out Sean Carroll’s Cosmic Variance posts here and here.

Sean also delivered the opening talk of the conference, during which (among other things) he asked a beautiful question: why does “complexity” or “interestingness” of physical systems seem to increase with time and then hit a maximum and decrease, in contrast to the entropy, which of course increases monotonically?

My purpose, in this post, is to sketch a possible answer to Sean’s question, drawing on concepts from Kolmogorov complexity. If this answer has been suggested before, I’m sure someone will let me know in the comments section."""

Unless I'm mistaken, the difference is that grants vest into actual shares while options only vest into the opportunity to buy the shares at a set price.

Part of my hiring bonus when joining one of the big tech companies were stock grants. As they vested I owned shares directly and could sell them as soon as they vested if I wanted to.

I also joined a couple startups later in my career and was given options as a hiring incentive. I never exercised the vested options so I never owned them at all, and I lost the optios after 30-90 days after leaving the company. For grants I'd take the shares with me and not have to pay for them, they would have directly been my shares.

Well, they'd actually be shares owned by a clearing house and promised to me but that's a very different rabbit hole.
