> emulating a vt340+ like xterm does gives you the first six of these, which is a big reason why people keep writing new programs for that platform, but totally flunks the last one; you can't even display text in a proportional font, much less a photo or a video

xterm supports sixel graphics.

"sixel" is an image file format; the ImageMagic "convert" command can convert other formats to it. Just cat a sixel file to stdout in an xterm and it's displayed in the window.

The implementation is not 100% solid (for example, there's a size limit), but it does work. And tmux can be build with sixel support, so you can display sixel images in tmux under xterm.

No, there's no video support (unless I've missed something).
NVIDIA is the best GPU manufacturer in the world. They have been an excellent company for decades and have produced most of the best (in terms of performance or performance per watt) GPUs. They started spreading out from graphics when they realized GPUs could be used for massively parallel floating-point or integer computations. They have been producing data center GPUs for years. NVIDIA's financial performance is not luck. It came from hard work and from producing the best products.
I mean... That's not an issue in other runtimes, so it's kind of a JVM quirk no?
And if they treat them all with this degree of attention, then they're probably failing at all of them.
And yet somehow languages such as Rust, which have no UB (in the safe subset) manages to be within 5% of C and often faster in both real-world codebases and microbenchmarks.
So this is something that you check in with every day and get a positive statement from? Does it actually help in weight loss by looking at exercise or meal planning? Reading through the site, it sounds like I tell a robot how much I weigh each day and it encourages me to keep trying.

Too bad they just didn't mandate automatic breaks. At this speed automatic breaking when the car is about to hit something should be easy and safe.

At 30km/h breaking distance is just 5m and that's taking into account slow human reflexes. Machine should be able to detect anything within that range and break soon and hard to reduce it even further.
At the same time, Buffet and Munger also think that diversification is dumb if you know you have a good stock, putting all your eggs into one good basket, is better than putting your eggs into multiple bad baskets.
well it's like... emacs takes the "editor buffer" concept to its logical conclusion .... it's not just files, it's anything. calling it an editor is entirely descriptive. it's just that other "editors" are far more limited in that they only edit file buffers.
This finding is not surprising at all. It's well established that the majority of ALL consumed content comes from a small number of sources, relative to the population.

Misinformation following the same pattern as all other content seems rather uninteresting.

Yes, I should have been more explicit but I was relying on the fact that the cellular modem in my car and many others from that time have had their service discontinued. So the car likely did used to report on me, but I suspect it does not any longer.
If you removed every case of "Undefined Behavior" from the C spec, you'd still have memory safety bugs. Because they're orthogonal (though may be coupled if they come from the same core logic error).

This is what I mean by it becoming "meme" - things like "Undefined Behavior" or "Memory Safety" have become a discussion-ending "Objective Badness", hiding the real intent - being "Languages I Do No Like" (or, most often, are a poor fit for the actual job I'm trying to do. Which is fine, but not rejecting that those jobs actually exist).

But they mean real things that we can improve in terms of software quality, and safety - but that's rarely the intended result when those terms are now brought up. And many things we can do right now with existing systems to improve things, to not throw away huge amounts of already well-tested code. To do a staged improvement, and not let "perfect" be the enemy of better.

I'm not sure if you meant this as evidence for or against my point, but this is exactly what I mean.

Every year dozens of people think they're going to make some holy-grail language and it's 1% different from the prior version but now every single library needs to be rewritten, a dozen years of patches/bugs/security-holes must happen, whole resumes get shined up rewriting tech stacks that were perfectly capable, all for it to be thrown for the next shiny toy in less than a decade.

I see fentanyl as payback for East India Company's plans to get more tea. China plays the long game.

https://museum.dea.gov/exhibits/online-exhibits/cannabis-coc...

> To fund their ever-increasing desire for Chinese produced tea, Britain, through their control of the East India Company, began smuggling Indian opium to China. This resulted in a soaring addiction rate among the Chinese and led to the Opium Wars of the mid-1800s. Subsequent Chinese immigration to work on the railroads and the gold rush brought opium smoking to America.
I think I should've tried better to emphasize sarcasm. Emacs is an incredibly powerful tool. And honestly, I don't understand people who try to learn it only to complain shortly after how hard it is compared to VSCode, and they don't want to "waste their time." Dude, you chose to be in this field. A text editor is a single, the most important, the most consequential tool of your professional lifetime of a programmer. LIFETIME!!! Why the heck not spend some of that time learning it?

It's kind of ironic: this state government will freak the fuck out if access to porn is restricted in school libraries, but restricting it on the internet is somehow acceptable?

Where is the consistency here?

If we're going to restrict one, why not restrict the other? Or if we're not going to restrict one, how the fuck would restricting the other ever make sense?

Or maybe they should make school libraries available to the public so I can go pick up some material from one the next time I need to do my business
That's part of it. The proposal is for everything on Google Play to be available on Epic's store but payments/downloads/updates still managed by Google. Then if an app becomes available via Epic they can "take over".
>He can only do so where the evidence is such that no reasonable jury could have reached that decision.

Who defines this "reasonable jury" thing? And why do judges get to opine on it?

If the jury shits on your case, it's called nullification, and it's working as designed. If the jury rakes you over a bed of coals, you have one safety valve in that the judge can tamp down on things to mitigate cruel and otherwise unusual awards as far as I understand it, but even with that, there's usually a statutory aspect to things I thought. E.g. ...fines no greater than type language.
You weren't attentive.
Plant protein also contains all essential amino acids. Even broccoli.

500 calories (150g) of TVP (soy chunks) has 100%+ of each EAA while 500 calories (200g) of steak is sub-100% in three EAAs. The soy chunks also have 25g more protein than the steak. I use it in all recipes that call for ground beef as it's similar is texture.

The 500 calories of soy chunks also has 59% of the day nutrition while the steak only has 47% (source: Cronometer).

Seems to me that if you're going to bring up a concept like incomplete protein (which I think is a nonsensical concept), you'd have to bite the bullet on steak being incomplete and plant protein being superior.

I dismiss the concept because we aren't limited to 500 calories per day. But if we were, I'd rather be stuck with TVP.

Almost none of them did. I checked two dozen profiles and all but one of them had fresh comments posted within that same day.

Lots of people have pointed out problems with your determination, but here's another one: can you really tell none of those people are posting to subvert reddit? I'm not going to go into details for privacy reasons, but I've "quit" websites in protest while continuing to post subversive content afterwards. Even after I "quit," I'm sure my activity looked good in the site's internal metrics, even though it was 100% focused on discouraging other users.

Despite having seen this image thousands of times, I never considered it might have originated from practical effects, even if it was composited. Very cool.

The composite sounds like no picnic, either:

>With over 3,000 photos captured from the shoot, the initial stage of the composite was an exercise in patience as Munko diligently went through all of the assets and picked the best ones suited for the final image. He then dusted off his old 40 year-old designer fingers and brought them into Photoshop where he tirelessly combined exposures at a blistering 9k resolution.

He first build up the base image, which was obviously the foundation for the hero still, flushing out the core logo design with a variety of laser-infused illuminations.. These core layers were varied, ranging from minimal rim-lighting to a multitude of laser lines fanning through the central portions of the logo, lighting up the volumetric haze in a variety of artful ways. Compositing all these layers together was an extremely iterative process and was done in collaboration with Daddy Bear Art Director Ryan Vulk and Creative Director Christopher Ashworth, the two senior Directors on the Windows Brand Team.

Once the lovelies at the Windows team and up the ladder at Microsoft were happy with the aesthetics of the logo foundation, Munko then composited in the environmental passes, which consisted of separately shot layers of smoke and haze to create a very moody palette and accentuated the qualities of the practical approach.

The final touches were the lens flares, which were again shot as separate passes but were flaring the lens with a light source positioned in the same place as the laser projector, so the flares lined up perfectly with all the other passes. The final grade was applied to bring everything into the signature ‘Microsoft Blue’ palette, but still leaving a tonal range that kept everyone happy. The final 9k file was then sent to the magicians at XYZ Creative Production Agency, who specialize in high-end photo retouching and did the final optimizations on the hero image.

That's why they're pouring massive amounts of investment money into making bipedal robots. If you can control the masses without needing the masses then it no longer matters anymore.

Karplus Strong sounds kind of bad though, if your goal is accurate sounds of instruments. The reason it works at all is that the noise generates the initial high harmonics of a pluck, then a low-pass simulates the frequency-dependent decay of those harmonics.

But this is very primitive compared to a massive body of research on better simulation. The delay line works great though, that part hasn't changed.
There is kmscon, but yeah - it seems to be stalled and abandoned. I tried it and it sort of works, but feels buggy in some ways, so it needs work. That seems to have most promising potential if anyone could actually develop it.
yea, thats the basic feature and in addition, if you successfully loss 10% of your weight, I will send you 30 dollar or more if you do 6 month.

I built this as an external discipline coach to encourage people to loss weight(that was the reason why my weight loss failed)

On exercise or meal planning: currently you can talk to the AI about exercise or meal planning (it is gpt4o in the back), but currently I don't save exercise and meal planning detail so it won't be able to remember that many details if you want it to remember your execise detail for 3 month.... but thats a feature I can add.

to the point above: let me know if you want it, I will add that as a feature if you are interested to try it out :)

Look at any photograph or work of art. If you could duplicate exactly the first tiny dot of color, and then the next and the next, you would end with a perfect copy of the whole, indistinguishable from the original in every way, including the so-called "moral value" of the art itself. Nothing can transcend its smallest elements.

Well that's the problem, isn't it? The incentives align with trusting Altman to make a return on your investment, nothing more.

Investors don't really care about consequences that don't hit the bottom line prior to an exit. Consumers are largely driven by hype. Throw a shiny object out there and induce FOMO, you'll get customers.

What we don't have are incentives for companies to give a damn. While that can easily lead to a call for even more government powers and regulation, in my opinion we won't get anywhere until we have an educated populous. If the average person either (a) understood the potential risks of actual AI or (b) knew that they didn't understand the risks we wouldn't have nearly as much money being pumped into the industry.
Can't we all just go back to being positive and amazed with OpenAI and it's technology? Why does everyone have to be so negative about tech?
Damn, is this Sammy's Sock or do you just have elementary level reading comprehension?

Show HN: Can GPT Be Trained for Truth? Exploring Hallucination Reduction
I've been experimenting with ways to encourage ChatGPT to generate more factual outputs. While we know it excels at creative text formats, factual accuracy can sometimes be...well, imaginative.

My approach involved using specific prompts to steer it towards factual responses.

I'm curious to hear from the HN community:

-Have you explored techniques for prompting factual responses in GPT models?

-Are there interesting applications for a "factually-focused" ChatGPT?

Let's discuss ways to push the boundaries of factual language models through creative prompting

Porsche has changed the 911 body, quite radically in fact, if you side-by-side anything 1980s or before with 2012 or later.

But what Porsche does very well is introduce new platforms every few years. It's still a 911 but a new generation, that generates excitement and new sales. Then a few years into each cycle, it releases various sub-specialties and performance variants -- the RSes, GTs, Turbos, etc. Yes this often means at the very end of a platform's life sales drop (in anticipation of the next version) but overall its clear that Porsche has been extremely successful with this release model, which I think the other German carmakers emulate, like BMWs 3-series.

Clojure also teaches you functional programming, where-as CL only teaches you the LISP beauty. Clojure teaches you both Lisp and Fp. So the FP part should still be worth it even though you got the Lisp part from CL.
After a few years, I turned off rainbow-parens-mode indefinitely. I realized that I no longer see parentheses and instead I see the structure and order, or in the case of badly-written code - chaos and anarchy.

It is sad that the usual first reaction of people seeing Lisp code is distaste. I myself wasted years of my life because of that. I had many opportunities to learn Lisp, but I dismissed them multiple times until I tried Clojurescript. Stupid me.
