Thanks!

It's just the word layout that's automated. The word list (about 4k words) is entirely hand-curated. I had some tooling to make it easier, but every word was selected by me rather than automation. But obviously it's impossible for any single person to be propely calibrated, mistakes can happen, and I'm not a native speaker so there are some odd blind spots in my vocabulary.

"Bhaji" was a word I personally thought was fairly common. If I had to name three Indian dishes, it'd be one of the three. But it might be too regional; when it was brought up in a playtest group, a person from UK thought it was basically in daily use while continental Europeans insisted they had never heard of it. So it'll probably go the next time I revisit the word list.

Re: "breakfast test", I'd not heard it phrased that way before, but immediately know what you mean :) My intended policy was no slurs, genitals, or sexual violence, and no vulgar words for bodily functions or body parts. This doesn't match the classic exclusion list exactly, but is at least similar in spirit. I expected "teats" to be fine, since to my mind it's only used for animals and human constructs (like baby bottles), not humans. But removing borderline words is cheap, offending some players is expensive :)

Note that the game does make a distinction between words that are accepted and words that can appear in puzzles. I mostly move words from the latter to the former rather than remove them entirely, so if you go probing for controversial words, you might find a handful of other examples. But the intent is definitely for there to be a "voice" in the word selection, such that entire categories of words are predictably in or predictably out in a way that the player can get an intuition for.

I'll definitely make another pass once I've internalized the player expectations better.
Thought about both of these, for various reasons they won't work. Trust me I spent a decent amount of time on this, I think objectively making the bottom transparent with thicker acrylic is the best solution, but motion tracking is the other viable option and I wanted to play with the cameras.
+1.

My life started working out okay when I started relying on discipline. Doing things even if I don't want to.
> The gVisor/perf thing is a tendentious argument

Interesting to dismiss it as such. The gvisor netstack is a (big) part of gvisor and this article is discussing how the performance of that component was, and could well still be, garbage.

These tools bring marginal capability and performance gains, shoved down peoples throat by manufacturing security paranoia. Oh an it all happens to cost you like 10x time, but look at the shiny capabilities, trust me it couldn't be done before! A netsec and infra peddlers wet dream.
I have never been able to get DHCPv6PD working with systemd-networkd on my Verizon Fios connection at home. I have using other software.
I like to bring up a certain thought-experiment, where some hypothetical self-driving cars (A) are safe enough to halve the number of the accidents/injuries/deaths compared to human drivers, but (B) almost all of the bad events are from their AI unpredictably deciding to to chase-and-murder pedestrians.

... Would we consider that a good improvement to roll out? Is the only factor short-term utilitarianism?

Sometimes our ability to predict and characterize errors is more important than the total error rate.
No, it doesn’t. I was just giving an example from personal experience.

For any given job, I believe there’s a way to design an assessment that allows the candidate to demonstrate skills directly relevant to the job, even if the job doesn’t have requirements that are as specific as “Rails developer with a few years of experience.” I have yet to see a single job listing in several decades in the industry where I think to myself “ah yes, the only way to find qualified candidates for the job would be to ask them to implement a quadtree.”
How is it more portable or secure than an API that's been stable for decades, and getting constant security fixes?

I see an explanation in their blog about avoiding TUN devices since they require elevated permissions, but why would you need a TUN device to send data to/from an application? I can't understand what their product does from the marketing material but it doesn't look like it would require constructing raw IP packets instead of TCP/UDP packets and letting the OS wrap them in the other layers.
Fair. I'm just tired of people running interference for Israels genocide.
This may have been part of Boeing’s acquisition strategy; sue the company to put them in financial distress, and buy them at a discount (this is a fairly common strategy).
Groq no longer sells chips.

Compute appetite is infinite.
Something was bugging me about this article the first time I read it, so I made a mind map.

Turns out, not once does the author actually give a reason why Python was better than Lisp for Reddit. The only references to that connection at all were claims that some “X” (all among the set that are oft-refuted by Lisp programmers) wasn’t the reason!

It reads more like a PR justification (“oh, there’s not much difference really, we even asked unspecified engineers who agreed with the change, and our code is working better and better!”) than an actual explanation.
And also San Francisco and LA, if we're talking about Waymo.

More generally, I think this is the kind of rollout you'd expect from a technology like self-driving cars: slow to start, and likely exponential beyond a certain point.

The time from 1 to 10 cities may very well be longer than from 10 to 100 cities.
> you are saying is the people prefer someone who is apparently appears not have a dark side. IMO such people are just adept at camouflaging their dark side, politicians do it routinely.

When this person owns one of the largest communication platforms on Earth and regularly spreads conspiracy theories, disinformation, and transphobia... yes, I would prefer they hide that. That rhetoric does real harm to people.

Accusing someone of being a pedophile without evidence isn't something you just say "Well at least he's speaking his mind!" to.

The richest man on Earth should be able to afford a therapist, or at least a PR firm. If his ego is preventing him from doing so, well, that's a fair thing to criticize.
>After my reply all seven of the interviewers were all grinning and I was aware I said something they weren't looking for. One of the men politely told me Windows was a computer operating system. My reply was, "Oh, I see."

That is how a conversation between mature adults should be. Contrast that the typical today's IT interview questions, all posed to prove that is the interviewer is of superior intellect.
Nothing like moving the goal posts, conflating a whole bunch of different issues, and then projecting statements on to me when you’re called out nonsense.

Hope that works out for you.
> my last class at university, all kids were running google docs

Corporate use looks nothing like that. I was actually working in an accounting firm that tried to move people over to google sheets and docs. Took about a week for people to realise the sheets plan is utterly idiotic.

Docs lasted about a month before even the “thought leaders” in charge of pushing the initiative went quiet.

For casual use sure, but it’s no more replacing office than ms paint is replacing photoshop.
The problem is that there's no Linux. The Average Joe cannot download Linux from Linux.com.

He will waste hours, maybe days learning about different distributions, window managers, packaging, etc. This is true even for experienced professionals. It's demotivating IMHO.

There's a book named "The Paradox of Choice", it gives a good psychological overview of this topic. No distribution is ready to compete against Windows
Well, people don’t like the “other” analogy - the “iPhone gold rush” basically never ended.

When you invent a whole new class of device, of which you have the best and market-leading implementation, often that class device isn’t going to stop being useful, and if you are good at your job then you often won’t have to relinquish having a large share of the resulting market.

There’s really a whole little epistemological bubble that’s forming here, with the people who insist that everyone else must only like it because they think it’s general AI, therefore there must be a collapse coming, because it’s impossible there’s any real value delivered, etc. And the alternative hypothesis is… you’re wrong and there’s something here, and people don’t particularly have blinders on about the potential anymore than you do, they just see the value where you don’t. It’s the same group of people who were butthurt about IP infringement and deepfakes and all the rest who are the most absolutely sure everyone else is an idiot who believes it’s general AI and it’s all a big bubble that’s going to come crashing down. It’s become an article of faith that’s stronger and more real than the fake sentiments it purports to oppose.

The weird part is that everyone has an opinion about everything but we do a poor job gathering that data, gathering references and debating the different perspectives. Finding a middle ground or doing anything practical are alien topics in 2024. Im not suggesting we go back to the duel to the death but it was damn practical :)
What do you mean "now"? Did it use to be a clean and pure space?
Arabs has 100% the same rights as Israelis.
The freedom of movements to Gaza was not allowed to Jews as well (or every Israeli), since this is an enemy territory.

So I challenge you to find 1 law that treats Jews and Arab citizens differently in Israel
UUIDv7's premise to solve this, isn't it? it's 32 chars without dashes.
I’ll start worrying when there’s person to person transfer.
There's this general idea that I've found quite illuminating, where physical code size in itself can cross a certain limit and suddenly take more time to read.

Something like (+ 5 (* 3 2)) is, IMO, an easier think to parse than add(5, multiply(3, 2)). 5 + (3 * 2) obviously wins some points from being what we get taught for a decade.

So if you have these sorts of idioms that are meant to be within other idioms, stuffing them all in one line means there's less place for issues to hide, without paying size costs.

The real thing of course, is less the above example and more things like:

results = [2 * x for x in data]

turning into:

results = []
for x in data:
results.append(2 * x)

Where in one version I immediately pattern match on a comprehension, so I can immediately determine cardinality and other properties, where the other one I gotta do a _touch_ more work mentally. This feels like it doesn't matter, but it all adds up!

Terseness is a quality, especially if everyone messing with the code speaks the same vocabulary.
Ted Cruz says he did not know he was a dual citizen. He said he assumed that because he was a US citizen by birth, left Canada at 4 and lived entirely in the US and never took affirmative steps to claim Canadian citizenship he was not a Canadian citizen.

When a newspaper brought it up he went through the steps to formally renounce Canadian citizenship, which became official in May 2014.
I've read about many terraforming ideas such as these, and I really think they're kinda pointless, because it would probably be MUCH easier to just build O'Neal cylinders. With those, you can create artificial habitats with the exact parameters you want, instead of trying to change an entire planet so be somewhat habitable by humans.
It's great to see this, I know the team went on a long journey through this and the blog makes it almost look shorter and simpler than it was. I'm hoping one day we can all integrate the support for GSO that's been landing in gvisor too, but so far we've (tailscale) not had a chance to look deeply into that yet. It was really effective for our tun and UDP interfaces though.
What happened to his inhouse dojo thing?
Unfortunately this was years ago so I'm not sure I can dig that far into specifics.

Overall, combinators (almost by definition) have the property that you can plug anything into anything else. Haskell encourages a "zero-point" style where you don't even name the parameters (this is sort of the point of parser combinator libraries) and provides a bunch of fancy operators to glue them together in various ways.

I think the mistakes I was making were mainly in just gluing the combinators together in the wrong way. It's not that the grammar was ambiguous, I just messed it up.

You could say some of the same things about CFGs, and I guess that's true at some level. But in my opinion the syntax is more obvious and you don't usually spend time squinting at the syntax to remember how $ works or what order things execute in. And like I said, with parser combinators, there is no feedback (because everything compiles, more or less), so the only way to tell if it's working is to run it, which is a very un-Haskell-like experience.
> Question for HNers: Do you think that AI is having a big enough impact already to generate this valuation? Is it changing your life?

Imagine asking these questions in the early 90's when "the web" was just getting started. Or when bitcoin was $0.10.

These are the sorts of headlines people make fun of later on, “The internet is just a fad.”

People learned their lessons and are way more willing to make bets on the future. Right now, clearly this is AI.
Worth the investment of an extraplanetary colony? Because that’s the investment we’re talking about.
I used to bad at presentation. Until I started to think about them as a process. A process where I continuously get better at them, and any slip-ups, mistakes or issues that I make are things that I can improve on for my next presentation. It helped with the jitters as well, because instead of feeling anxious about the "real thing", the presentation just becomes another practice run to improve. But of course, that also requires that you don't just have one-off presentations here and there, but are having frequent ones rather.
It depends on the company. Every startup I’ve either got uses Google Docs.
Making our towns and cities a safe and supportive place for children is a great way to promote having children.
A primary reason people choose not to have children (when they get the chance to choose) is not wanting to bring children into an inhospitable place/world/life
>I keep both hands on the wheel with FSD activated so it's quick and easy to override but it can catch you by surprise sometimes.

Then why on Earth do you use it? Do you not feel this is a threat to others on the road? And what is gained if such "autonomous" driving requires your full attention at all times so as to prevent catastrophic accidents?
I definitely appreciate this degree of rigour.
We leverage Bazel heavily across multiple very large projects where I work. It greatly simplifies dependencies across languages with different build steps. We also run Bazel in docker so everyone has the same build environment. Finally, we leverage Bazel on cloud build farms so very large builds don't happen locally and can leverage shared caches. This is really where the hermetic nature pays big dividends.

Our codebase uses a single build system for CPP, Python, CPP, GoLang, and more.
It is risky to use econometrics as even qualitative data to support a hypothesis about the trajectory of history over millennia because the data doesn't exist.
If you're not extremely careful in analyzing the provenance of your source statistics, it's very easy to fall into a circular argument of "assuming my hypothesis, my hypothesis is true."

Here, just staring at the GDP per capita data, for example, the source paper pretty bluntly says that it can't back-continue the statistics past 1820, so it uses a completely different methodology to try to offer a number. So the author here commenting that the data is quite different pre- and post-Industrial Revolution shouldn't be surprising considering the data is literally based on completely different metrics! Hell, De Long literally shaves a factor of 4 off pre-Industrial Revolution GDP estimates because he feels like it.
Not a lawyer, but I believe the relevant Canadian law is https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/C-42/page-12.html#h....

In practice, though, the real source of this stuff is the WIPO Copyright Treaty, wherein 116 countries around the world agreed to adopt similar laws on this topic. Those "one-world government" conspiracy theorists have a point!
We could just build giant bomb shelters. It’s cheaper, holds more people, and doesn’t require nearly the investment in a completely closed ecosystem. But that ain’t sexy.

If you want something that uniquely requires leaving the planet for somewhere you have truck in literally everything except rocks, you’re pretty much limited to the sun becoming a red giant. That and gamma ray bursts. That’s pretty much it.
GDPR is indeed different in that regard. And I'm not sure how your quote says otherwise. "The employees of this company" are not an indefinite number of persons.
It’s also surprising that BBC, a government-funded media outlet, is showing ads. Either the government funding isn’t enough or they are trying to recoup some of those costs by showing ads to people who’ve already paid for the content with their taxes (even the international part is paid for - see below).

> Its work is funded principally by an annual television licence fee which is charged to all British households, companies, and organisations using any type of equipment to receive or record live television broadcasts or to use the BBC's streaming service, iPlayer. The fee is set by the British Government, agreed by Parliament, and is used to fund the BBC's radio, TV, and online services covering the nations and regions of the UK.

This is great! I’ve been using ipv6 on openbsd for a while now, starting with a hurricane electric tunnel years ago then to native v6 on Comcast and now Sonic. Configuring ipv6 PD has not been supported in base this whole time. I recall using wide-dhcp6c years ago and then switching to the dhcpcd in the article. The situation has improved, slowly, but it will be great to have this in the base system

Free flow of information is a huge risk to democractic systems? Seems like shadow banning and political censorship are the real risks to democractic systems and he got rid of those.

It's less mature, which shows up in lots of places, such as sometimes having less than ideal defaults (as in buffer sizes shown here), and bugs if you start using more fancy features (which improve over time of course).

This is approximately the case for any alternative IP stack you might pick though, a mature IP stack is a huge undertaking with all the many flavors of enhancements to IP and particularly TCP over the years, the high variance in platform behaviors and configurations and so on.

In general you should only take on a dependency of a lesser-used IP stack if you're willing to retain or train IP experts in house over the long haul, because as is demonstrated here, taking on such a dependency means eventually you'll find a business need for that expertise. If that's way outside of your budget or wheelhouse, it might be worth skipping.
> The signal comes as a burst, initially having no gravitational wave content, followed by an oscillatory period with a characteristic frequency of order 1/[R]

Interesting...

> As discussed above, for a 1km-sized ship, the frequency of the signal is much higher than the range probed by existing detectors, and so current observations cannot constrain the occurrence of such events

And yet, you still chose the word ;)

So, how big are the ships, as a kindness for readers such as myself for whom the exercise should not be left?

> Being tech-illiterate is where Linux shines.

I have a tech-illiterate grandfather using Linux who is a gearhead. During the pandemic he wanted to get into sim racing to stay in contact with his friends and enjoy his hobby. I ended up having to write drivers for all of his equipment for Linux because almost none of it was supported, whereas it would have been a simple plug-n-play task on Windows.

Just because somebody only needs a browser for now doesn't mean their OS choice won't restrict them in the future from enjoying their life.
When will programmers get it through their thick skulls that an artist taking inspiration from a style and a well funded tech corporation downloading 400 million images to train on are two different things that shouldn't be compared. GPT is not a brain and humans correctly have different rights than computing systems.
I'm still not seeing the point sadly.

If you're running on a system you don't administrate that has ports under 1024 set as privileged, there's no way(with or without your cli) to have a userspace program receive TCP or UDP packets coming into the kernel from external devices for these ports(unless I'm completely mistaken).

What can you accomplish with "user-mode TCP/IP" that you can't from userspace with system calls?

I find it interesting that the need for new transmission lines was mentioned as almost a throw away when this has been a large cause for the growing local resistance to data centers in VA. A key reason for the rejection of the data center project mentioned in the article was that it would require installation of new transmission lines. The approved smaller size reduces the requirement for new transmission lines.
