In the end I did seriously look into Rust for a time and decided that's not my thing and instead watch progress from the sidelines in case anything interesting happens in the language to give it another try.

What's quite obvious when watching from the outside is that it's almost always people with a crab emoji in their profile who are more likely to talk shit about C programmers (myself included in a couple of cases via subtweeting).

I usually just shrug it off and move on, because what else is there to do?

”Start late” in relation to paying attention to details, testing UI and other quality aspects that are not visible in the beginning. In simple terms: budget some time to handle unknowns. Or at least some of them.

When it comes to the amount of upfront design needed…

…yes, everyone agree ”complete vision no stone unturned” is the optimal. That is easy ask.

In real life that is not possible, unless you are working with incredibly small scope OR without any schedule. I.e. not possible. Business with money involved? Just no.

Agree on level of experience. Experience usually helps a lot.

Unable to design and develop system with certain level of uncertainty and adaptability is the real tragedy.

I believe everyone should be interested on the possible routes ahead. Assuming one or two persons are able to foresee some unknowns is intellectually lazy. Expecting them to brainstorm it out to the detail infront of some whiteboard is just not how real life works.

Well the baseline search quality should not rely on users. It should be great out of the box until spammers begin targeting it directly. Relying on users to moderate should happen organically as the number of users grow, which ideally would be timed to offset the growth in spam targeted at the engine.
"I invented a ranking system that cannot be gamed!"

By my experience, ALL ranking systems can - and will be gamed, no matter what. I'm still willing to give you the benefit of the doubt - maybe you are the one who can finally truly come up with an un-game-able system. But I'll consider that an extraordinary claim - and will require to see extraordinary proof for that.
I disagree. Switzerland is another example of a high-trust society yet roughly a quarter of its residents are foreign. A majority of those foreigners are from the EU/EFTA but if you think that means they're culturally homogenous, I challenge you to feed a German pizza to an Italian or give someone from Suisse romande a Gipfeli and tell them it's a croissant.

I'm not accusing you of this in particular but a common pattern I see is Americans making comments like this because they assume that homogeneity of ethnicity or race means homogeneity of culture. There are in fact very large differences, resulting in conflicts such as WWI and WWII. Things aren't peaceful because everyone is the same, they're peaceful because people have learned to live together peacefully despite those differences.
This looks abandoned lol.

And it doesn't need to be Rust, as the anti-seat belt folks always are quick to complain about, plenty of systems languages since PL/I and NEWP days have bounds checks by default.

Back in the days we were arguing for Ada, Modula-2, Object Pascal on Usenet, we were straitjacket programming advocates apparently.

> In the end I did seriously look into Rust for a time and decided that's not my thing and instead watch progress from the sidelines in case anything interesting happens in the language to give it another try.

FYI I did the same because the kind of work that I do does not desperately need Rust's benefits.

But I'll always call out biased and prejudiced people and I don't care about what the HN group-think believes.

1. Stop thinking that the zealots are representative of... anything at all, really. (I don't include myself in that group of zealots. I get ticked off by bias and firmly held preconceived notions. That's why I commented as much in the entire sub-thread started by me.)

2. Do your own research like you did.

3. Refuse to think about trolls and zealots. Which is what all of us as healthy adults in this attention-predatory age of the internet should do.

You could create a local html file containing a form that posts to google, then add a minimal amount of js to intercept submission and add the quotes, and set it as your new tab page. I do this myself for a site:-specific search.

Oh totally. Coming from the States, where our costs included two cars, healthcare out of pocket expenses, daycare, etc and coming to DK where, yes, taxes are high, but we have zero cars, zero healthcare costs, etc.
People writing fast terminal emulator care about throughput, latency and resource utilization. Kitty for instance deliberately limit throughput to keep both latency and CPU/GPU usage reasonable.

Also, by what metric is xterm so fast? I accept the idea that it is fast, even the fastest, but "a lot" seems suspicious to me. From the keyboard to the monitor, there is a lot of hardware and driver latency, I guess tens of milliseconds, so the effect of the terminal, should be relatively minor. I suspect xterm is so fast because the tool used to test it relies on the X server, and because xterm communicates with X directly, the latency will be really low from the point of view of X, but how is it end-to-end? Do we get the same results, with, say, Wayland?

In the hypothetical above, you won’t have any way to know which libraries are actually being used unless you read through the source code. Many libraries will transitively include protobuf, but most functions will not call protobuf.
This whole debacle has me extremely confused. I am not particularly enamored with OpenAI, especially the Sam Altman helmed version of it - I have all the usual "Actually ClosedAI," etc. complaints about it. I was hoping the governance structure was enough to force them to be a unique company last year. I think Altman is a snake oil salesman that has failed upwards.

But the Sky voice does not sound like it was trained off of ScarJo, or even off of someone who sounded a whole lot like her. There are some similarities, but, the voice sounds as close to, say, Rashida Jones as it does ScarJo. Yes, Altman posted a dumb tweet referencing Her which obviously looks to be in very poor taste, and yes they obviously wanted ScarJo herself, but does that mean they should not be allowed to have a voice that sounds even remotely similar to her?

It is standard and accepted practice for scriptwriters or directors to have a preferred casting in mind for a role, and when that person isn't able to be cast for whatever reason, for them to pick a person that fits similar criteria. What is different here?

The voices are different enough that I do not believe anyone as close to her as she claims would confuse the two. I pulled up a episode of Jimmy Fallon where she was on and compared the voice to one of the clearest audio videos of the Sky voice from the 4o demos, and they have different pitches, frequently different cadences to speech, etc. There are some similar mannerisms - there's a reason people see the resemblance - but if you isolate the audio of the two I don't think the majority of people would listen to them and go "Yep that's gotta be the same person," especially without all this context biasing their opinions.
Yes, that's what I meant by "A handful of academics had a chance".

I'd disagree about "Times weren't better". The internet of even just 25 years ago was vastly better for many use cases, if your interests aligned with the relatively smaller pool of people on it back then.

Does that make it overall better? Well not really, and I'm not the sort of person who tries desperately to recreate that time through things like neocities, because time marches on and things change.

But it is still worth appreciating what was good about that time, and asking ourselves if there are lessons we can learn about what's changed over time.
/now is cleaner in practice, because it's shorter, matches a (nascent, proposed) "standard", and hides the implementation details.

File path /now/index.html is a fine way to expose your content at /now ... Most webservers will default to config that allows this.

You could replace it in the future with a gigantic web app that is wired into your brain implant to retrieve realtime status. If you use /now.html, you would have to fight the framework to lie about the implementation details, instead of just not specifying them in the first place.

You could also configure your webserver to serve /home/carbonatom/webstuff/dereks-idea/now/new-version-2025.html as /now, if you like. These are the kind of implementation details that a good URL will hide (even if the specific example is a terrible case, the equivalent does happen sometimes!).

This is like a second law of thermodynamics for communication. You take something that's already pretty low signal and then extract whatever from it and republish some slop you generate from that using a model.

I've been watching a walk-through of the Beijing auto show. It's the Cambrian explosion of EVs. There are way too many brands. It brings to mind when everybody was starting a PC company. But underneath all of that, there is a horizontalized ecosystem just like in the PC business. That will endure. One thing I'm pretty certain of, is that long product lifecycles are not the answer. If Tesla sales go into a decline that lasts several quarters, that would be the opportunity cost of Cybertruck.

Haha, nice analogy, thank you. :)

And yeah I am gradually giving up on arguing with people who are extremely biased but point at me and blame me for being biased. Seems there's no win.

I actually regret engaging so thoroughly in this thread but once started I figured I'll not budge and will hold my ground. I am anti-group-think that way.

I haven't engaged in such threads in a while and I think the next time around is going to be months in the future. We'll see.
Aren't many cases of missing children in the US also abductions by a parent?
Diversity of thought helps solve problems. It’s useful for the state to allow a small % of experimentation to reduce risk.
That's why loads of top talent end up disappearing into the realms of Google, Uber, Microsoft or Databricks Denmark.
Whether this is a good thing (they get paid well but the US gets the outputs of their labour) is another matter.

It is possible though to get paid a more reasonable rate in DK (which imo is good) and living in Denmark does not guarantee a huge pay cut / local companies don't suppress tech salaries into oblivion, even if the only saving grace is foreign offices.

Could somebody ELI5 for me why, during periods of both prosperity decline, the economy movement is stable for the most part, but in order to cross over from decline->prosperity or prosperity->decline, there is a huge and sudden swing?

1837 and 1873 appear to be bubbles bursting (maybe) - is every sudden downswing a literal, practical panic?

And why are the upswings just as sharp? What is happening practically during those moments that make the swings so sudden compared to economic activity "during" a prosperous or downturn period?
Has it changed?

Yes.

I'd say it's like years being designated BC and AD.

Small town midwest is now Before Opiods and After Opiods. Choose your future small town carefully, and don't be bothered by how many feelings you hurt. It's about what you want for you and your family. Not about validating a narrative. You really do want to stay away from certain areas. At least, that's how it is here in Wisconsin.

Anecdata: One day my sister was taking my niece to school and my niece said from her car seat, "Look Mom! A dead body." My sister looked over and sure enough, cops and ambulance, and they were just covering the deceased. OD.

Point of this story is not really that there was an OD in small town Wisconsin. Small town Wisconsin is where you'd expect OD's to happen nowadays. The point is my niece was so familiar with this kind of thing that she could spot a dead body at 4 or 5 years old.

Not good man.
There's also the issue of users trying to downrank any polarizing site because they disagree with it. To pick an example, think of the search term "vaccine" and how strongly people on both sides feel about it. Eventually, you'll probably end up with results for "vaccine" that have nothing whatsoever to do with vaccines because everything vaccine-related will end up downranked.
isn't it? I think it might be. It's definitely artificial so it depends on your definition of intelligence. And that's a rather confused subject.

I favor a model of intelligence where one measures problem-solving capability along multiple axes and defines an N-dimensional shape that describes a hypervolume of 'general' intelligence. One could certainly argue that because this program solves problems that can only meaningfully be measured along one axis that it has too few dimensions to be called intelligence. The trouble with that is software generally works best when specialized for problems with a single axis, so by that definition 'general intelligence' is either unlikely to happen in that space at all or won't be energy efficient if it does.

What would likely have a higher intelligence is a 'cyborg' - which could just be a human accessing this program via conventional means - who adds this program's problem solving capability along one axis to their existing hypervolume of intelligence. So maybe not artificial intelligence, but definitely an artificial intelligence expander.
People slipping backdoors into stuff are no doubt super enthusiastic about Rust both for the opportunity for new anonymous nobodies to rewrite long stable and proven tools as well as the dependency ecosystem that tends to blindly pull in multiple different entire HTTPS/TLS stacks into anything but the most trivial software.
The first full part of the series, "Year Zero", comprises 8,761 documents and files from an isolated, high-security network situated inside the CIA's Center for Cyber Intelligence in Langley, Virgina. It follows an introductory disclosure last month of CIA targeting French political parties and candidates in the lead up to the 2012 presidential election.
Additionally, it's worth mentioning that a lot of content is now locked behind a few major platforms (eg. Facebook, LinkedIn, Medium, YouTube, etc.) or CDNs like Cloudflare, which often block crawling from non-Google IPs or well-known search engines.

I think this is fine. If I want to find something on one of those big sites I just go there directly. However if I want to search the web for a site I’ve never been to before then I’m stuck with the bad results of the current search offerings. It’s quite depressing!

> Which is easier; interstellar travel or building a dyson sphere?

Assuming that we don't know what we don't know, and we need lots of testing and trial-and-error, a Dyson swarm is more doable because we can iterate a design for a swarm node right here in our solar system, until we get it right.

Sending a ship off to a star and then realizing it has design faults is just unfortunate.

Yeah, though telemetry wouldn't help since this level of attention to UI design doesn't (practically ) exist, and it's unrealistic to expect it from FF, so the next best thing is allow user configuration.

The website looks nice and is clear to navigate, but I think your messaging is off. This has nothing to do with mood or recommendations, it’s just a list of movies separated by genre. It’s not even an app, but a website.

Which, again, nothing wrong with any of that. Except your description is off, meaning the people who are looking for what you described will be disappointed and bounce, and the people who are not looking for what you describe won’t even give it a chance. Everybody loses.

On UI issues: on mobile, the fixed banner at the top covers part of the messaging.
Only if you mean K&R C, where C was mostly a portable macro assembler, calling into Assembly code, written and compiled via an external assembler like in the first iteractions of the UNIX rewrite from Assembly into C.

The Lions book is a good example of what that C used to be like.
You could try extending your candidate pool if you haven’t yet. Java devs are the fastest to onboard for Kotlin, also Scala, and vice versa. The stdlib APIs and the third-party libraries are the same, plus you get the Kotlin libraries. Lots of modern Java projects transition piecewise to Kotlin, so often hiring for Java turns out to be for Kotlin, in part or in whole.

Sadly No!
Not too far of but 20% is still significant, and I think even so it would be mostly the top you can get from local companies. Even the Novo/Lego type companies are pretty stingy on IC compensation. There's limited upside, and startups are very far away IMO.

You get some upside wrt work/life balance. But very limited flexibility in other ways. And culture-wise it's another can of worms.

Generally speaking it's better to work for foreign companies here.
"Beer questioned Vennells’ ability to only recall details that painted her in a better light, something which he said had been the approach of several people during the course of the inquiry."
Sure they are now, that's simply where the money is nowadays. 5 years ago it was battle passes 5 years before that it was an attempt to recoup costs with used game. 5 years prior to that it was experimenting with DLC types and seeing what would stick. And 5 years before that it was trying to have long term subscription attachments to a game.

Games are ultimately tech. And games grew along with the internet. It was inherently going to be run more like a tech company than a media conglomerate for that reason. I see it less as games being exploitative than a double edged sword, like the internet itself. It can be a lot more exploitative. But it also opened up entire mediums of ideas and arguably tore down world borders.
