personally i am not all that excited with their hardware prospects, but am curious about all the "optimizations" they did at the OS level.

if they are real, can they bother trickling that in the x86 builds, pretty please?

i feel they are at the crossroads for supporting legacy, decade-old stuff with an architecture switch. i wonder if they are compromising on all that for the ARM variant.
Yeah, but I think it’s also true in the US (even more so as pay from the non-startup careers is higher). Maybe one should ask why it’s so much more common to do the irrational thing in the US than the UK.
It looks like you never understood what the other party tried to say.
> What exactly has it yielded?

All of the physics and the sciences downstream of it came out of ancient Greek idea of materialism, the idea that things happen not because of wishes of sapient entities like gods or spirits, but because of matter mindlessly following some simple rules.

There was a time when the idea that sun is just a fireball and not some thinking being was as hard to accept, as now is the idea that consciousness is merely a result of computation.

Whether this idea is a dead end or not we'll see when we have a computer capable to simulate a human brain.

> since we're obviously now seeing scientists reorienting their research based on those inputs, away from fallacious intuitions.

Who does this? I have not seen any scientists achieving anything useful from this kind of reorientation.

Europeans hate moving. They're not like the European diaspora, they will live within a days drive of Switzerland, all their life, and never even consider the concept of trying to make a life there to earn 2-5x as much.
Bazel confused the hell out of me at first, and I think the two-phase execution model (the “plan-execute pattern” as I called it) is to blame.

My favorite thing about Bazel is how easy it is to get stuff done if somebody sets up the rules for you. Copy-paste a code snippet and fiddle with the dependency list until it works.

But as soon as you go deeper, you get overwhelmed with new concepts, and the documentation doesn’t explain them well enough. I think this huge spike in complexity makes people hate Bazel, especially if their colleagues force it on them, breaking the usual workflows.

I don’t love Bazel, but it’s the build system I hate the least. And it taught me a lot.
The UK has an age-based advantage in this metric. Oxford & Cambridge are nearly 1,000 years old. Once you take that into account, the stat becomes "of the top 8 universities (ex. Oxbridge), 2 are in the UK and 4 are in the USA". Imperial is very high quality institution, definitely the peer of Berkley/Yale. UCL normally isn't thrown into the top 10 though - it'd usually appear in the top 25.
This is, at it's heart, about markets.

In the USA a startup's market is, essentially, global - China. In the UK the market is, essentially the UK.

In the recent past it might have been argued that the market was the EU - but the reality is that the EU's market for services is fractured. The USA has the capital and power to enforce their companies access to markets everywhere (apart from China), the rest of the world does not.

> Many a Java developer think that you need a big complicated framework to pass dependencies into your modules, instead of having your modules fetch them for themselves.

Not sure what you mean by "module" here, but DI means that the dependencies are defined externally to the actual business logic, which kinda contradicts this "fetch them for themselves".

I think the problem with Spring is that it has too many features, too many different ways to do the same thing, too much configurability. Historically, Spring jumped on most hypes, tried to basically support everything. We ended up with this complexity monster, but this also made it popular. Spring is the Oracle DB of the backend development in the sense that you won't ever get fired for choosing it, it's the safe choice which will support in some way everything you might need to do.
In my case Cycle JS (https://cycle.js.org) was very enlightenment and pedagogic. It make me realize that software is always and only a matter of data transformation. And those pure data transformations can be keep separated and decoupled from "side effects".
I am not sure I understand what you mean by “literally” here. For sure, if you use Zermelo–Fraenkel set theory as the foundation of mathematics, as is commonly done, every mathematical object is a set. The first definition of 1 encountered in that setting is the singleton set {0}, where 0 is the empty set. (And 2={0,1}, 3={0,1,2} and so forth – you get the picture.)
This is precisely the sort of thing this is all about: The natural numbers are uniquely described up to unique isomorphism by some variant of the Peano axioms after all.

How is the case of the zero numerator special? When you take any fraction 0/n with n>0 and reduce it by the greatest common factor, you get 0/1.
As shown in my other answer, neither have you shown that the points matters. The scale of the US weapons program and military which outsizes any other countries definitely still supports the main point made.

That some parts of the world appreciate the US activity has no bearing on criticism from parts of the world that do not appreciate it, as I'm sure you'd agree.
Why does this rent argument not apply to SF/Silicon Valley? I think SF is more expensive than London, though typical pay in (non-startup) tech is higher.
Ok so if something previously was free and now costs 1c per transaction, you would think "Stripe increasing price infinitely" would be a good title? Just because it is true that doesn't make it a good title. A good title should create a realistic expectation of the article content.

What exactly is “watching the terminal contents”? Does this happen locally or is data sent to a third party?

If a third party is involved, what data is shared exactly?
Everyone hates moving if their lives are good enough. They generally only move because they think their environment has structural problems that can't be solved within, say, 5 years. For example: bad healthcare, generalized low level corruption, bad infrastructure, bad air quality, no opportunities, etc.

Americans are probably the only developed people that will move en masse just to make a bit more money, and even that's because there's no language barrier and hardly any cultural barrier. Plus it comes with downsides, no support network in the new place, if you're out of a job... things can become extremely sketchy.
Which can be made "visible" by substituting 0 with e.g. `1 - 1`:

0/1 = (1 - 1)/1 = 1/1 - 1/1
0/2 = (1 - 1)/2 = 1/2 - 1/2

This strongly suggests they weren't trying to get her voice until the last minute (would have been too late for the launch) but, rather, they had already used the other actress, and realized they were exposing themselves to a lawsuit due to how similar they were.

It was a CYA move, it failed, and now their ass is uncovered.
PHP tends to be a red flag for security specialists. When talking to other technologists I tend to get eyebrows if I mention building a product in PHP. Most of the damage is done by Wordpress, unfortunately. I think Laravel is a boon for no-nonsense rapid application development.
>Also the "Palestine" side of the warrants are against Hamas which also feels weird (Hamas is also not a signatory nation and many suggest that Hamas != Palestine).

The ICC prosecutes individuals not states, so there's no contradiction here.

>Given Palestine is a signatory does it mean they have to take action to extradite the Hamas leadership to face trial?

Yes

>What consequences do they face if they fail to do that?

There's no penalties built into the statute. It tends to have diplomatic blowback. See [1] for a prior example.

I put the peak at Windows 7.

Windows 7 UI is like Windows XP but prettier thanks to GPU acceleration. Compared to the XP generation, it had better security, 64 bit support out of the box, it was an "internet age" version of Windows, but it could still run offline and wasn't too obnoxious with ads, telemetry, etc...

It definitely got downhill after that.
I think the "one thing that's not like the others" in the article are the crazy-high rankings of Britain's top schools. Universities are a bit of a self-perpetuating reputation scheme, and the UK has been punching well above its weight in that department.

Having worked with all Europeans, I can't say that I found the British to be skill or preparation outliers. Maybe just a little above the mean? Speaking English natively helps too.

That said, the UK was probably on its way to becoming the EU's tech hub, much to the chagrin of the French and Germans. Then 2016 happened.

Furthermore, the planetary economy has transformed itself, and has been consolidating around competitive advantage. Much of tech has massive scale economies. There's probably not enough 21st-century Britain to make it alone the way it used to in the 19th century. Its competitive advantage probably does not involve large-scale tech.

If you're a world-class tech graduate facing these realities, maybe you don't want to get marooned on an island.
Is it just me, or allowing hallucinations into my terminal a line that I am not willing to cross?

Also, it would make a lot of sense to have an option to use a local ollama instance instead--otherwise this just feels like a cool feature that seemed like a good idea at the time, and not something thought through where it regards privacy and likelihood of damage.
If this is a local pattern matcher trained on some text pool it could be really useful.

Well, the very next sentence after your quote is "It requires you to supply an OpenAI API key" which should answer your question.

I'm not saying they are more scammy, I'm saying that the reputation score is computed differently in US and in Europe, and having a scammy aspect is penalizing the startups more in Europe than in US.

You can start from exactly the same facts:
- X% are scammy
- Y% are bringing something great
- Z% are bringing yet another useless junk in shiny paper that pollute and had bad side effect
- W% are making new discoveries
- ...

In Europe, the first item will bring you -20 points, the second, +5 points, the third, -10 points, the fourth, +10 points, ...

In US, the first item will bring you -1 point, the second, +20 points, the third, -5 points, the fourth, +5 points, ...

So, at the end, the "goodness" of entrepreneurship is seen differently in the two sides.

I don't think institutions or other business are less scammy, or even that they are seen as better in Europe. Simply, if you score different paths, in Europe, the "entrepreneurship" path does not look that better than any other path, so why would you choose it.

I have had the pleasure of being an immigrant visiting a startup event in England. To give you an idea of what this looks like: Five minutes in, an organizer comes up to me and informes me that the she was sorry but this event was invite only (I was invited).

At a tech meetup, most were happy to chat over beer, but every single one flat out refused to agree to a one-on-one, unofficial demo of my MVP.

I helped a startup debug and fix an urgent infrastructure issue on a critical customer-deployment, gratis. Their in-house guy had given up on it. Few months later I asked to sign up for a referral for my co, they stopped replying.

Doing a startup there is hard mode squared.

It's not just reading the article, it's observing what is going on here in EU.

VW group never sold "that many EVs" because their pricing is utterly uncompetitive. They've been selling cars like ID.4 for starting price that's more than 10.000eur over price of a Tesla.
I agree it’s not really used symbolically, but isn’t it referring to the difference between, say:

(x + y)(x - y) = x^2 - y^2

(an identity, since it’s true for every x and every y) and something more arbitrary like

3x^2 + 2x - 7 = 0

(an equation certainly not valid for all x and whose solutions are sought).

Of course, really, the first one is a straightforward equality missing some universal quantification at the front… so maybe that’s just what the triple equals sign would be short for in this case.

Nah, Razor is a template engine. Laravel's equivalent is Blade. They're templates in the same that the templates is compiled into a string with parameters then the string is output to the response.

What top post is referring to is the ability to control what is output to the buffer (raw characters) and what is scripted (<?php ... ?>). The closest equivalent would be classic ASP (not asp.net)
I've been active here for over a decade. If I did that so I could start shilling for brands in my 40s, that'd be a hell of a long con. Also, I pointed out that it's useful to check users' histories. A few seconds with my comment history would reveal that I'm more of a grump than a shill.
It's a shame for the reason I said in the same sentence: "a company that was at the forefront of BSD development has decided to move away from it."

iXsystems has employed some of the most prominent and important BSD developers - they were a big funder of the projects and I don't like that this will change.

I don't mean to be patronizing, but I should clarify that in English, something being "a shame" is not as strong as something being "shameful" or "should be ashamed." My friend canceling plans to see me is "a shame" (I lament it, it's sad) but my friend telling lies and rumors about me is "shameful" (he should feel bad) - iXsystems' decision is a shame, but it isn't shameful.
> cm/in as your unit (which is actually also what px is based off of in the web, not physical pixels)? ° doesn't make sense until

Nope!

A CSS pixel is 96 DPI at 28 inches from the viewer.

px is fundamentally angle-based. 1/47 of a degree. And sure it's a "scaled value of cm" at some point but this way the scaling is more obviously handled on a per-device basis.

What do you think it's a virtue signal to the HN audience insisting on the difference between European cultures?
Lots of A/Cs and high power equipment uses NEMA 6, there's wide availability of parts for it. For example I have several in my house. EV's have connectors for it as well.

The thing is people keep complaining about how bad NEMA 5 and 6 are - and yet, somehow, the US doesn't have a lot of electrical injuries. So it seems the theory doesn't match the reality. It's just not that big of a problem.

NEMA 5/6 sockets have a lot going for them: They are physically relatively small, the flat blade has a much better contact surface relative to round plugs, they are also much cheaper to make (both the plug and the socket).

I could certainly design something better - I would put all 3 prongs in a line (with un-even spacing to ensure polarity) to make the plug even smaller, and put an insulating sheath on the top of the prong designed exactly right so that when it makes electrical contact the metal part of the prong is no longer exposed.

Even better: You could make an outlet that is simultaneously 120V with backward compatibility and 240V! (And I just realized that polarity is pointless - 240V have a hot on both sides.) I'm starting to warm to your idea of a new outlet. Have three slots in a row.

> Why not aim for one that doesn't inherently suck?

Out of curiosity, other than the things I designed against, what other issues do you have with it?
Lots of the claims made by startups to VCs would be considered fraud if they were ever tried in court, which they aren’t because starting such a lawsuit would be terrible for the VC, and the VCs weren’t really defrauded because they correctly understood the claims to be highly exaggerated. The difference here is in cultural standards for what it means for a startup’s claims to be true.
Interesting remark about poor OOP support, when multi-methods and their interaction with protocols are two cool CLOS features yet to be fully embraced mainstream.

How will they know and why would they care, if we're talking about regular job postings?
One of my previous (job) tasks was to monitor larger vessels, and analyze where they'd end up getting torn apart.

Turns out western shipping companies don't like paying western prices for that kind of work, and try to sneak the vessels down to India, Bangladesh, etc. where that kind of work is much cheaper. But with cheaper prices comes a host of issues, from the environmental effects, to human workers actually performing the dangerous work.

Sometimes these things can fail spectacularly - like when they try to sail or tow the vessel, end up drifting to land, and create huge oil spills.
Part of why it's so hard to communicate about these issues is that we all inhabit a world of propaganda that we have to work hard to see through. But in this case Hamas didn't claim anything.

I've been working with React, Vue, Nuxt/Next, even some ASP.net... Somehow, I keep coming back to Laravel when creating a new dynamic project. Whenever I setup a new project in other frameworks, I get exhausted afterwards, I had this great idea I wanted to try out, but after the setup, I lost all motivation.

It's different with Laravel, because the setup is so much quicker and it has everything I need preconfigured out of the box. I don't mind writing PHP, my heart loves C# but I've worked with PHP for almost a decade now. The best thing is, that I can STILL use Vue if I want (and I very often do) through Laravel Breeze.
Been a while since I was in this position but that first £100k used to be a cakewalk. SEIS made it almost a no-brainier for any high net worth individual to invest in startups.
There's so much ambiguous context that goes into your average '=', even when just talking about your standard functions on real numbers. You'll see it being used for anything from:

- We've found these to be equal

- We're hypothesizing this to be equal

- These are approximately equal

- These are defined to be equal

- This is a way to calculate something else, whether it's equal is up to your philosophy (a^2+b^2=c^2)

- I'm transforming my function into something else that looks different but is exactly the same

- I'm transforming my function into something else that is the same for some of the stuff I care about (but for example does not work anymore for negative numbers, complex nrs, etc.)

- I'm transforming my function into something else, but it's actually a trapdoor, and you can't convert it back.

- This is kind of on average true within an extremely simplified context or we know it's not true at all, but we'll pretend for simplification (looking at you physics)

- We are trying to check if these two are equal

- This is equal, but only within a context where these variables follow some constraints mentioned somewhere else entirely

- This is equal, but, we're not going to say whether you can or can't replace the variables with functions or whether it supports complex nrs, negative nrs, non-integers, etc.

A lot of this is usually kind of clear from context, but some of these differences are a nightmare if you want to code it out
Rule of Law requires you first establish monopoly on violence via global hegemony. If you are willing to accept some kind of global state where individual nations have lost sovereignity then okay, but if not what ends up happening is you limit your own actions while your enemies (who don't care for such rules) can walk free to do whatever.
Yes when the demos first came out I don't remember seeing anyone comparing the voice to Scarlett Johansson's. It seems to be a meme that's taken hold subsequently with the news about OpenAI trying to license her voice.
