I so wish Amazon was a better place to work, that's a least a nugget in the right direction.
> I'm very excited to get one of these and install Linux on it.

Exactly everyone's immediate thought on this, lol. That the thing runs Windows is mostly a distraction.
That's like saying audio playback isn't a feature or a product.
Sounds like a really bad strategy then
I think learning with a network aligns with how our brain works better than learning linearly. In this sense, zettelkasten is a superior system than Anki, but I do come to realize that a network is harder to maintain as it's missing a clear starting point. Also I find it harder to recall, especially compared with linear stories.
Another constant problem with any spaced repetition system is that you learn by repeating word by word, but essentially we memorize by adding more edges to the node of knowledge, just like how you know a person better if you add more tag to them: my son's friend/ our neighbor/ the boy who owns the white dog, etc. I'm pretty optimistic about this problem being solved by the next gen SRS: using AI to come up with different frames/description of the same knowledge.
What we need is to understand more about how the brain actually works and we do that with animal models not jamming half assed devices into the heads of humans
Sounds like your problem is Java (ducks)

But seriously, PyCharm with all the bells, whistles, and database connections hasn’t ever given me a problem. Sounds like a shitty experience though, the WM should protect you from crap like that.
There was apparently a poem next to the earing. The translation as far as they could tell was

> We've got a thing and that's called radar love
> We've got a wave in the air
> Radar love
Because desperate people will be taken advantage of by people trying to make a quick buck. That includes pharmaceutical or medical device manufacturers who are answering to investors.

This is why universities have institutional review boards and it’s broadly forbidden to conduct experiments on prisoners.
When in a gold rush, sell shovels.

You're right, devs aren't as picky with tools as gamers are with games. As long as it works and is proven to save time, it'll sell. But the downside is that you're audience is much less.
> it has a chance of drawing immense attention inside the companies, possibly leading to actual durable improvements on the underlying issue.

The underlying issue is "it costs money to have people doing this, and we don't lose any money by not having people doing it."

My guess is that the site will see a burst of activity where corporate security departments successfully bait employees into breaking the law / company policy, and word will get around pretty fast that you will get fired and possibly charged with a crime...

...and then the companies will sue the site owner, citing all the employees they baited.
> The relationship between Apple and IBM has been rocky at times. Apple openly criticized IBM for chip delivery problems, though Big Blue said it fixed the issue. More recent concerns, which helped spur the Intel deal, included tension between Apple's desire for a wide variety of PowerPC processors and IBM's concerns about the profitability of a low-volume business, according to one source familiar with the partnership.

>IBM loses cachet with the end of the Apple partnership, but it can take consolation in that it's designing and manufacturing the Power family processors for future gaming consoles from Microsoft, Sony and Ninendo, said Clay Ryder, a Sageza Group analyst. "I would think in the sheer volume, all the stuff they're doing with the game consoles would be bigger. But anytime you lose a high-profile customer, that hurts in ways that are not quantifiable but that still hurt," Ryder said.

furthermore, if you look past the "Intel is just too slow for the power envelope" that you stated:

>The "bad quality assurance of Skylake" was responsible for Apple finally making the decision to ditch Intel and focus on its own ARM-based processors for high-performance machines. That's the claim made by outspoken former Intel principal engineer, François Piednoël. "For me this is the inflection point," says Piednoël. "This is where the Apple guys who were always contemplating to switch, they went and looked at it and said: 'Well, we've probably got to do it.' Basically the bad quality assurance of Skylake is responsible for them to actually go away from the platform."

So both of the claims about cycles/J being the reason are just sound bite ahistoria.

>The PowerXCell 8i powered super computers also dominated all of the top 6 "greenest" systems in the Green500 list, with highest MFLOPS/Watt ratio supercomputers in the world.

that's 2008 - when apple originally announced they'd complete the move to intel.

PS3 underpowered?

>According to Folding@Home in a statement on its website; “Using the Cell processor of the PS3, we should be able to do more folding than what one could do on a PC. Also, since the PS3 has a powerful GPU, the PS3 client will offer real time visualization for the first time.

Also if you compare like for like, the CPUs IBM put out in 2005 with 3.2ghz had a TDP of 75W. Intel CPUs in 2005 at 3.2GHZ used 130W TDP. both used 90nm processes.

You're fractally wrong. I could actually keep going with every claim you made and put paragraphs in. I'm sorry.

Transcription and Subtitles all-in-one platform
https://openadapt.ai has similar functionality, except:

- it's open source

- it only records when you explicitly tell it to

- it has multiple PII/PHI scrubbing providers built in (see https://github.com/OpenAdaptAI/OpenAdapt?tab=readme-ov-file#...)

- the reason for recording is to automate tasks in desktop apps

- it's cross platform (Mac and Windows)

Full disclosure: I'm the primary author. Feedback welcome!
You are right in terms of the addressable market. Except in some niches, like pharma, it is too fractured. But IMHO, the biggest problem here is mentality. Starting a business and taking risks is not something the society encourages. That is what we have from centuries of rent-seeking aristocrats.

A good counterexample is Sweden, where class structure is flatter and imitating American trends is seen as cool. Unsurprisingly, Stockholm punches above its weight class in terms of startups, despite Sweden being a tiny market.
Wait forever? No, do the grounding research first. They didn't even know how much the brain was likely to move, for pity's sake. Nor do we have a good handle on scar formation, any necessary immune therapy, ...more or less anything that would be needed if anything at all goes wrong.
Just making housing cheaper would do so much for peoples ability to take the leap.
Alright then, the solution is simple. All he has to do is name the actress that OpenAI -did- hire for the voice work, right? That would put any doubt to rest.
From the patient himself:

> New Source code integration in File Explorer allows tracking commit messages and file status directly in File Explorer.

And yet they make Home instead of My PC the default when opening Explorer, which then causes reads over the network if you happen to have network shares mapped and the whole thing to take several seconds to load. Microsoft has rather schizophrenic decision-making and zero will to fix things, they just keep building on top of the existing pile of garbage.
Raising complaints internally always has value in any organization. At a minimum, it highlights the fact that people outside the organization think your colleagues are doing a shit job.

The patronizing "Oh you silly plebs, we know what we're doing" line is unlikely to get any traction in a developer community where second-guessing and challenging established designs, decisions from SMEs with decades of experience is common.
Polar and Suunto. Excellent technology, but they were never marketed very well and achieved only moderate success.

One was acquired by a Chinese corporation, the other is in financial trouble.
Ask HN: Why Are Most 3D Design Tools So Difficult for Beginners?
I've been trying out various 3D design tools like Blender and Fusion 360, and while they're incredibly powerful, they seem really tough for beginners. It takes so much time and effort just to get the basics down. Anyone else feel the same way? How did you overcome the steep learning curve?
No, it's more like saying "media" isn't a feature or a product. It's not. It's a very vague word that could mean any number of loosely related things that do form part of many different features and products.
They had to have known that this would be brought to light when releasing something that they didn't get permission for. Asking twice means that they knew it sounded very like SJ.
My theory is that this will be used as an example for why legislation needs to be pushed harder with tighter controls and official hardware/software locks. "We can't allow the masses access to generate whatever they want."
Don't want to be rude, but most people here probably aren't game devs. So bikeshedding taking over is inevitable.
Why shouldn't people be able to submit themselves to ride on an experimental rocket ship that has known issues and is not expected complete its mission?
Ahh, because Sam "Insufficiently Candid" Altman has never lied before?
> This is plainly true. But there is a middle ground between "the least amount of money workers will accept before choosing to starve instead" and "so much money it's no longer economical to pay workers to do."

That's what labour market competition between employers (or employment opportunities, because people can strike out on their own) is for.

More and stiffer competition is better.

> (I do not mean to imply that you deny this possibility. But there are many on HN who uncritically believe that if workers take a job, it is therefore a fair wage taken voluntarily.)

I don't know what definition of 'fair' you want to use here. It's taken voluntarily in some sense. But so is the choice between starving vs cannibalism, if you have no other options. So that's not a very useful distinction.

If you want to help people, you not to improve their options, make sure that better options can be provided. That's very different from outlawing bad options, and just the opposite. (Ie giving the would-be cannibal access to some bread is actually helpful. Just banning cannibalism on the lifeboat only leads to starvation, if there are no other options.)

Conditions in the ship breaking industry will improve as other industries compete for workers with them.

For comparison, have a look at the working conditions of eg nannies in England today vs 800 years ago. They do essentially the same job, but get paid so much more in real terms. And not out of any generosity by their employers.

(You can pick many other professions, too.)
Thanks for being open to adjusting your opinion when given new information!
I'm not sure you're right here. I used to work with the hipmunk founders and I recall them mentioning that the comparison/flight search is actually pretty computationally expensive.

Even Google flights takes special consideration to show loading indicators here, and I'm sure they've put a lot of resources behind making it fast.
Yes, but it's also not going anywhere.

I don't consider replacing a common loop convention with what amounts to a randomly-generated sentence or two of syntax and letters in each language to be an improvement.
A very difficult read for me… hard to get past all the auto fellatio.
This is great!

Aspire has a code-based application model that is used to represent your application (or a subset of your application) and its dependencies. This can be made up of containers, executables, cloud resources and you can even build your own custom resources.

During local development, we submit this object model to the local orchestrator and launch the dashboard. This orchestrator is optimized for development scenarios and integrates with debuggers from various IDEs (e.g. VS, VS code, Rider etc, it's an open protocol).

For deployment, we can take this application model to produce a manifest that (which is basically is a serialized version of the app model with references). Other tools can use this manifest to translate these aspire native assets into deployment environment specific assets. See https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/aspire/deployment/m...

This is how we support Kubernetes, azure, eventually AWS etc. Tools translate this model to their native lingua franca.

Longer term, we will also expose an in-process model for transforming and emitting whatever manifest format you like.
Yes, and another example is that sometimes the “skill” of a voice actor is having pleasing vocal cords. Again, this is why most narrators are hired: they sound good. Not all voice actors are chameleons. It is not a requirement for all voice acting jobs. If you listen to many audio books, you’ll see the voice actors usually have very very poor ability to modulate their voice. Laughably so.
All depends what lens you're looking through. From the perspective of advancement of the human race, AI is almost definitely a good thing. From the perspective of humans being employed at least in the short term, it's going to be very, very bad before anyone thinks to say, "maybe it's not necessary that all humans need to work if we don't have enough jobs to give them all. Maybe we need systems for allowing humans without a job function to continue to survive." But you don't need to listen to me, we'll all just see for ourselves because cat's already out of the bag and I don't think it's going to go back in. And the people that don't think it's going to happen won't willfully notice it's already happening to others until it also happens to them.
Do you think broader society should be able to impose any limits? Is there any experiment too stupid to countenance?
In practice it just means that the processor includes a matrix multiply unit somewhere.

For example, some of the latest Intel Xeon CPUs have 8x 1KB registers that can perform only one operation: matrix multiply (and accumulate results). See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Matrix_Extensions

Generally this is very similar to the Vista-era Microsoft requirements for PC manufacturers, where it was a logo requirement to include a GPU that could be used to accelerate composition in the desktop window manager, such as transparency effects and blur. (Prior to that, low-end PCs had "graphics cards" that were fixed pipeline and not programmable /general purpose.)

Now Microsoft is forcing PC manufacturers to do the same kind of thing, but instead of a GPU it's now an "NPU" that they have to include. This can be a CPU instruction set, a co-processor, or a GPU baseline capability. The requirement is 40 teraoperations per second.

IMHO, 40 TOPS is way too low, and doesn't focus enough on memory bandwidth. Also, that 40 is total across CPU+GPU+NPU, which means in practice it'll require fiddly optimisation to get anywhere near that level of performance.

Windows Vista had the same issue, where many low-end laptops especially would struggle and spin up their GPU fans just from desktop workloads, let alone gaming...
The author first says that CL people usually avoid dependency hell:

>When programming applications in Common Lisp people will often depend on a small(ish) number of stable libraries, and library writers often try to minimize dependencies by utilizing as much of the core language as possible.

But then try to expound on CL's extensibility using libraries:

> No one has been clamoring for a new version of the specification that adds features because Common Lisp's extensibility allows users to add new features to the language as plain old libraries

Very contradictory, and these two paragraphs are in two adjacent sections.
If they're aware of that, I don't see the problem?
Except, as was expected even by Neuralink, it's ultimately going to be a failure. He'll lose whatever cybernetic abilities he has and probably be ineligible to participate in a follow-up surgery to fix it. He got to play some chess for a few months, and all he has to show for it are whatever (likely permanent) side effects he'll be enduring as his brain implant falls out. So yeah, he ultimately got fucked by Neuralink.

> If Hamas did so, on Oct. 6 they would have lived in peace. If they did so now, the civilians of Gaza would live in peace, and Israel probably would downgrade its activities even against the Hamas organization specifically.

That is a fabrication that goes boldly against everything we know. If Hamas layed down their arms, the Gaza population would still live in an open-air prison, with no access to anything that Israel doesn't want them to have. It's very likely that Israeli settlers would start stealing their land like they do in the West Bank, with help from the IDF and enthusiastic support from the Israeli government.

It's telling that Netanyahu and most others in the Israeli government, and the general Israeli public, have been explicit and consistent for at least a decade: they see no future for Gaza and the West Bank different from the present. A two-state solution is unacceptable to them, and an integration of such a large Arab population into a single Israeli state would undermine the Jewish character of Israel. So, if the Palestinians put down their arms, they'll continue to live as a stateless people, without the right to leave the territory except at the whims of a country they have no say in. Basically, they'll live as prisoners, as will their children, and their children's children.
Essentially, kinda. They just have different titles for similar roles. If you compare the charter for a city to a company's incorporation papers, they are very similar. Both types of papers are filed with the state. Probably not the answer you were seeking though
> It's absolutely rediculous that supporting something, thats opt-in not opt-out is causing a ruckus

iTerm is pretty extensible, and there are other ways of making the AI bloat (IMO) opt-in, without including it in the core software.

The biggest issue for me is that it increases the attack surface on iTerm2 with no tangible benefit (to me), I'd be similarly upset if they added an opt-in "Share on Facebook/StackOverflow" feature. I'd seriously consider switching to a purist fork that doesn't integrate social-media sharing as a core-feature of a terminal app.
>none of them seemed to face any issues with being made in Unity.

I'm sure they did. But I wager there is no such thing as "smooth development". Every engine has its quirks, every team has its odd dynamics and clashes.

engines are there to make development smoother, not smooth.

>it's bound to have a bunch of shovelware made on it with how many resources there are for learning it (and Unity being free), but it's popular for a reason.

To be fair, that one is more on Unity. You had to pay to remove the splashscreen, so that meant low effort titles would have "MADE WITH UNITY" front and center, where higher budget titles could remove the logo. It was great for awareness, but it completely reversed the perception of the engine quality as a result.

(disclaimer: I used to work at unity)
> That has usually nothing to do with the OS itself.

More often than not this mystical rogue service ends up being something internal to windows.
For that to make it into Wikipedia you'd have to first write an article in a reputable source.
How is this contradictory? The point is that you can extend the language when you really need it.
They sure are!

I think the parent comment to mine was edited, and now my reply looks weird. This is what I remember replying to:

"If you want monetary compensation you should not be contributing to Wikipedia"
I agree that it could be an unhealthy dynamic but who should ultimately have the power to make that decision? The patient who wants to participate in a trial because it may offer a chance of improving his quality of life, or us?

Beyond that, allowing for these experimental trials, regardless of their success or failure, can accelerate medical progress that can enable better care for many more people in the future.
A true dyson sphere is likely not physically possible. But superstructures that do the same thing, namely dyson swarms or dyson bubbles, are not particularly hard. If we so desired, we could begin construction of such a megastructure right now. At our current industrial capacity it would take a long time, but hopefully our civilization has a lot of time and industrial capacity ahead of it. Further, such dyson structures begin providing useful results pretty much immediately - it really only makes sense for a civilization to keep building up more and energy collectors over time.

Interstellar travel, beyond small probes to the very nearest stars, is immensely difficult. Either you need propulsion systems that can go incredibly fast like say riding the blast waves of a bunch of nuclear explosions or colliding antimatter that somehow you have; or you need to build things that can survive for extremely long periods (like substantially longer than our civilization has existed) in an extremely harsh environment with no resources for support. Either are hard challenges that require substantial work across many disciplines, and those who devote their lives to carrying out the work will not live* to reap the rewards. And even if a civilization were to put in all that effort, there simply isn't much reward to reap. Certainly if a civilization was sufficiently long lived and advanced they would eventually do this just to say they could, the same way we would climb Everest just because it's there, but there's no way anyone's setting up an interstellar empire before their system's dyson swarm is well under way.

* It is likely that extreme life extension will eventually be developed in one form or another, which should both make decades or centuries long projects much more viable, as well as make longer voyage times more acceptable. But developing such extreme life extension technology is probably comparable in difficulty to the engineering issues of interstellar travel.
There is no market incentive for this to be the steady state. All companies only want to pay lip service to competition, but in reality, they do everything in their power to prevent competition and monopolize the market. Product tie-ins, lock-ins, exclusive contracts, etc.

For your vision to be a reality there needs to be significant tax on monopolies and no company should be allowed to become a trillion dollar company. Taxes & Regulations FTW.
> But what actual law is being broken here? I suspect it is legally a bribe

It's called "commercial bribery", though I believe state law generally covers this sort of thing, so things will differ depending on jurisdiction. Someone else posted[0] the text of the law for California. (In CA's case, if the amount is under $250, the law doesn't apply, but there are quite a few "bounties" on OP's site that are above that level.)

> And what part of a standard employment contract is being broken here?

I'm not sure if it's standard, but many employees have signed things that say they won't accept other employment. Not sure something like this would count as "employment". But I also wouldn't be surprised if some employment contracts have broader language around this, more to the effect of "no outside paid work".
