> I can also visualize images in my head but they too are typically accompanied by some language like "I am now visualizing a Hot Dog".

I can certainly have thoughts not accompanied by a language, for example visualizing graph-like or higher-dimensional operations from math/CS more quickly than I could come up with their description. Or "simulating" physical objects, or even whole visual scenarios resembling real life.

But it makes me wonder whether it once again isn't about training or being "wired" for different types of thought. And if it's training, then specific language features may as well force people to exercise and improve specific ways of thinking about problems. It's just that it doesn't have to be limited to language.
It’s about photos in the Photos app that were not properly deleted, not photo files. The Photos app has an internal analog to the trashcan. When you delete a photo, the photo is removed from the normal photos index and moved to a Recently Deleted list. After 30 days, the actual photo file will be deleted if you don’t change your mind. There is an automated process that looks for photos tagged for deletion and deletes them on schedule.

There has been an unknown bug for a few years where, sometimes, the process that is supposed to tag the photo for deletion removes it from the list but doesn’t add the right tag for deletion and the schedule process never noticed them and never told the OS to delete the files. They just sat there in the photos library folder, sometimes for years.

The files were never actually deleted, just removed from the photos list. Later another process was deployed that saw unreferenced photos and added them into the photos index. That freaked some people out, particularly if they really had wanted to get rid of those photos.

This all happened as a higher level than the OS. The OS file deletion process was never invoked for these photos.
The original product was for low-level formatting and checking of WD, MFM, and RLL (pre IDE) drives where the drives either had or could alter the magnetic arrangement of tracks and sectors. For example, taking an MFM drive from an MFM controller and placing it on an RLL controller, DOS wouldn't be able to read, write, or format it. However, SpinRite could low-level reformat it to work and it would be both faster and a higher capacity (thanks to the RLL controller).

> last time I used it, was painfully slow

Yep. That's the breaks of format, write, and read every single sector while waiting for it to come around at least 3 times on a 3600 RPM HDD.

2 years, 7 pivots and heartwarming surprise of 2k waitlist sign-ups in a week
Over the last 2 years, we've built various versions of Arvel to bridge the gap between supply and demand as we envisioned it. We started with text-based experience sharing, then pivoted to a pre-built travel itinerary marketplace, moved to B2B software for travel content creators, then switched to a custom itineraries platform - nothing worked. Along the way, we built and abandoned 2 different mobile applications, rebuilt the platform from scratch 6-7 times, and updated our landing page 100's times to convey our idea. It was a real hassle, and nothing seemed to work until the current version, where we decided to open up the platform to everyone.

You might wonder what kept us going?! We’re a group of friends who are always seeking new experiences. We believe that everyone experiences life uniquely, with their favorite places to eat, hike, swim, travel, play games etc. We thought, what if everyone could share their favorite experiences? There would be so much to do and enjoy! But our challenge was to build a platform that would make it interactive and encouraging for people to share experiences while making it easy to find things you want to do.

Long story short, we launched the current version 8-9 days ago and received over 2,000 waitlist sign-ups - mind-blowing!

I know many of us are hustling days and nights, building, deleting, and testing products. Keep going as long as you believe in what you’re building. Remember, persistence and determination are what truly matter.

P.S. If anyone can share their knowledge or expertise on handling a product launch with a growing waitlist, we’d greatly appreciate it. Thank you all!

By the title, I thought this was going to be about the theorized future of meat production as a kind of fruit, i. e., “chicken flesh growing on trees,” and the ethical questions surrounding that idea and the positivist worldview that leads to it being considered ethical, and if it is actually a good thing or not.

It would be an ironic (and sad?) thing if the human history of the chicken began in trees and ended in trees.
I've heard that tour was also accidentally the reason Einstein became such a household name and face, tho I'm not so convinced this is true.
I honestly had no idea about the dangers of something so seemingly banal as saline solution being administered too quickly. Your comment made me read into it and yes, the reality is quite surprising, and scary. The strange thing is that higher concentration solution isn't so much a problem as administration speed for a given volume.

In any case, thank you for helping at least this one person learn about a danger they never would have expected if they're ever in a hospital, and I sincerely hope your wife comes back to her self over time. From what I've gone on to read, a certain high percentage of sufferers of Central pontine myelinolysis (if that's what you're describing) do eventually recover for the most part over the course of months.

Alas, that's not necessarily a good rule-of-thumb. Incompetence is a thing.

Compare to eg how the Russian spooks placed three copies of the game SIMS 3 in the pictures they published of an alleged assassins' lair.

(Most likely, some superior officer told the grunts to put three SIM cards for burner phones in the picture.)

My favorite part of Copilot is when it auto-completes a call to a function that does exactly what I need to do, like magic!

Except that function doesn't exist and never did.

LLMs don't know what they don't know, so they just make something up because they have to say something. The danger is that most people don't understand that's how they work and don't known when to call BS.

This is where I think companies have a responsibility. To ensure that _every_ response has a disclaimer that the answer from their AI could be right or completely wrong and it's up to the user to figure that out, because AI can't at the moment.
You're reading way too much into an analogy. I'm not sure how to tell you this, but analogies aren't... The full story. I don't know what you want, a book? And I hate to break it to you, the tortoise and the hare never actually raced. Nor can they talk.

If you're going to focus in on details and the generalizations that are clearly for convenience and not actual, make sure you don't do this too. Because we both know that the type and number of bad actors that men and women face aren't the same. But I'm not going to hound you for it because that'd be in bad faith. It'd be a willful misinterpreting of what you meant.

Ask HN: How do you maintain all the weights from optimizing model
To optimize a given neural network model, we often apply multiple methods and carry out many trials, which produce a large amount of binaries. Even with git LFS support, handling them gracefully is still a headache.

Any good practices/frameworks to maintain the experimental models?
There is a third school: those who consider "Lisp" to refer to, in a historic context, a specific old language that is no longer in use (which was actually called LISP), and in a modern context to a fairly diverse family of languages.

People don't argue whether Javascript is "a C". However, people do argue whether GNU C is C. Some pedants insist that only ISO C is C and that, for instance, GNU extensions like nested functions are not C. (And are off topic in the usenet newsgroup comp.lang.c.)

To me, C++ is a dialect of C. In fact, you can write production code in a language that compiles as either C or C++ and behaves the same way, with similar executable size and performance. When you do that, there are obviously C++ features you cannot use, but also C features you cannot use.

It is both marketing and they have taken steps to protect privacy. In some cases they have made apps less functional or less simply because of privacy concerns. Of course that is not their only concern and they do have an obligation to make money, but it’s not a binary choice and saying that it is nothing more than marketing is reductionist cynicism.
The doctors in this story are so arrogant, it blows my mind.
These diseases that exist outside the regular medical system but nonetheless have tons of anecdotal evidence, I just don’t know how to think about em. This, long covid, chronic Lyme. It’s hard for me to believe that these illnesses do have some effective treatment like antibiotics when clinical trials are somehow unable to establish the efficacy of treatment and there isn’t even a solid explanation for why they work.

I guess the scientist in me still says that it should just be coincidence, people get better on their own and it happens to line up with a new drug they try. On the other hand if I had an illness like this I’d totally try it.

It does seem that medicine has a problem recognizing illnesses which are difficult to measure and don’t have any viable treatment options, the system isn’t really set up to diagnose things like that.

If its in office, its Visual Basic for Applications, not VBScript. They are similar, but different.

PowerShell is the .NET based shell and associated scripting language that replaced the DOS-evolved Command Prompt & BAT language as the primary one of each in Windows (and which is also available cross-platform for all OS’s .NET is available for.)

Yeah, it’s going to continue as a scripting option on Windows with the retirement of VBScript, why wouldn't it?
I appreciate you sticking up for me. I can see this comment being taken poorly by others. I also think we generally need to learn to empathize that the creator might experience our words different than how we mean them (and therefore be kinder when we post).

In this case, I was aware that the rabbit is tough to watch so I have the empathy for my viewer and the comment came across as honest rather than harsh. I don’t think you should be downvoted. If it was a different time or place then I 100% could have taken it the wrong way.
I've got your attention though, haven't I? :)

Defensive? No. I don't think Lisp needs defending.

Lisp is an idea. Good ideas need no defending. The invention of Lisp is one of the greatest events in the recent history of symbolic communication. It can be put in the same category as cave drawings, cuneiform, Egyptian hieroglyphs, and mathematical notation in the sense that they all represent systems of symbolic communication.

My "Pfff..." really comes from not understanding why people would say things like "Lisp is hard to read" when, in truth, it's probably the best tool we humans have for its designated purpose. Lisp emphasizes simplicity and uniformity, which can enhance readability and ease of understanding programs. With a big caveat, though, Lisp's readability improves with practice and familiarity. Many people find Lisp structures to be clear and expressive for symbolic manipulation and functional programming tasks. Okay, I mean I get it. Let's say I can, for example, look inside "Principia Mathematica" and completely find it unreadable. Yeah, I would. But wouldn't it be weird of me to go to a forum for mathematics and tell them that their math is unreadable? They'd probably decide that I'm trolling.

I have used Microsoft Office for 20 years and Google Docs/Workspace for 15 years. I much prefer the Google suite over the Microsoft one. I prioritize quality of user experience, ease of use, performance, platform portability, freedom from constant intrusive software updates, and not messing with the built-in Emacs key bindings built into every Mac (Various MS Office programs inconsistently disable those key bindings). YMMV, esp with UI and UX, but for me there's no contest.

Regarding support, that is not an issue I have never needed it for Google, but occasionally have needed for MS Office. So I can see why if you are using Office you would value that.

> Software decays much quicker than hardware in a real way, especially with the never ending list of security vulnerabilities found every year.

What's the connection to security vulns? How does that impact devs not using "a separate stylesheet to support everyone." or ignoring "progressive enhancement"?

Or what's the vulnerability explanation of hasOwn?

It seems it mostly decays quicker on some webby platforms that culturally don't care much about backwards compatibility
> A user file (such as README.1ST), which should explain how to use the install utility, what the user should expect during the installation, and any preparation that the user should make prior to the installation. This file might also contain a brief description of your program

There's times where I find a random codebase and the README talks about how to install it without first giving some idea on what it is. I guess that's not new.
The Linux kernel already uses not standard C, but a dialect of C defined by the GCC flags they use.

But if you are willing to use something-like-C-but-not-shackled-by-backwards-compatibility, then why stop at arrays and pointers? Just move all the way to D or Zig (or even Rust). These are all languages designed (partially) so that you can port an existing C system bit-by-bit over into them.

Many people who can afford that, are doing that, of course. And that's why you don't really hear much about backwards incompatible developments for C. What would be the point?

I am trying to understand, but I don't know how increasing access to funds among the poorest segments of society can help defeat fictionalization as they have defined it.

I'm surprised by how many comments seem to assume Cloudflare is at fault. Shouldn't the default assumption be that no one did anything wrong?

In defense of Cloudflare, the sys ops engineer should have understood the situation and knew they were misusing Cloudflares services. They decided to play hard ball by bringing up the fact they were thinking of leaving. And we have no history of the multiple phone calls they had with Cloudflare.
This is in part why good laws are more concerned with what “it” is rather than what “it” is called. Good laws define something and then name it, so that you can test a pattern of facts and determine whether “it” is indeed what the law covers.

For me, my corporate tax professional errs on the side of well tested strategies or those that the IRS has ruled on administratively, and that is perfect for my risk tolerance.
It's tempting to view C as a thin veneer over assembly.

I don’t think people actually understand refrigerators any better than cellphones which are 41 years old at this point.

Create some story about the “hum” of an air compressor being linked to declining birth rates or whatever and someone will believe it. Keep harping on it long enough and it goes from a fringe idea to vaguely plausible surprisingly quickly. Just look at the Anti Vax movement and those are well over 200 years old.

Neat project! I liked the dev log writeups (despite the multiple rickrolls), hope you keep doing these. It was interesting seeing your reasoning. I'm starting a for-fun language project that should compile to wasm and native, and was debating between wasm -> wasm2c or llvm -> emscripten. Your posts about ffi/bindings issues were helpful, I'm probably going to try wasm (or just wat) first and then binaryen for wasm -> wasm optimization.
oh do elaborate
Yep. The shortcut is either to look for down-down or down-release-down, rather than down-release-down-release, but then the UX becomes inconsistent.

Debouncing refers to removing the dozens/hundreds of random momentary conduction events a real physical switch makes just prior to making contact on a human time-scale that are readily visible on an oscilloscope. Without debouncing, momentary switches would be unusable.

Will read through this. But have a quick question: Would it not be reasonable to guess that people having mental issues will have metabolic issues developed as later side effects. The reason is that mental issues puts a person in confused/lost state along with all the anxiety/feelings that it induces. This will causes them to neglect taking care of their body needs. Then that should trigger metabolic changes.
This is a phenomenon about Apple and some other companies I’ve never fully understood: charitably, there just are people with 1% setups that hit a whole class of bugs in Apple devices that I haven’t seen in 15 years or so
Some of the complexity comes from the fact that in earlier versions it was reasonably expensive to add new subcommands. As a result more functionality got added to existing subcommands like git checkout. This made the UX more confusing.

In newer versions of git the cost of adding new subcommands is reduced and they've started adding more specific commands like git switch.
Doesn’t this suggest the opposite? The people submitting AI-generated papers were likely also previously submitting bunk papers written by hand and have just automated this, unless this is all just pranks to show that peer-review has outgrown it’s usefulness (if it had any). Since paper mills exist, I suspect many of these were written by unscrupulous authors to begin with.

They can suggest some code, but they are like a dumb autocomplete. Your next sentence about understanding the project itself is the whole point - intellij can give me suggestions for my backend’s endpoints when I write the frontend, and clicking on such a href will jump to the controller.

I said "statically-linked" because the first thing that came to mind was go-lang's morbidly obese executable binary sizes, and mentally walked to iOS app sizes.

Sorry for the confusing terminology -- "External link resolution" just means links to any direct/transitive dependencies will be resolved. It takes more time and memory to generate so by default those links would be broken (marked in red).

Blast from the past. I was a writer at Amiga and was there with the rest of the crew, the men in tuxes, the women in evening dresses, for the launch at Lincoln Center. Warhol's straight man in the onstage video was our art director Jack Haeger. There was a bug in the software and a wrong gesture would have crashed the demo; Andy came very close, and Jack was sweating. My future wife and I got to sit across from Andy and Jack at the afterparty at Tavern on the Green. One of these days I need to look through my big box of floppies from my time at Amiga and see if I ended up with any Warhols.
