You may have a good point with the opengl thing. But the number of games that run on Vulkan is so vanishingly small that we can't credibly say that not having a Vulkan driver holds Apple back on gaming. I'd bet any money that the number of games that work on Metal is wayyyy higher than the minuscule number of games that run on Vulkan. Which should tell you how few Vulkan games there are.
Equating memorizing import paths - something IDEs have been doing automatically for decades now - to 'basic ability' might be the dumbest thing I've read this year.

It's a valuable skill to recognize which knowledge is important, and which is fluff you shouldn't waste cycles on. Knowing what a hashmap is useful for, when to use it, and when it's suboptimal, is important. Memorizing import paths is not.
The 'leave things undone' tip sounds really good, definitely will try.
Thanks Dang this is much better than previously.

Many would argue that it doesn't need to be "fixed".

I note in passing that Germany was controlled by Nazis (real Nazis, not just "disagrees with a communist" Nazis) within living memory, and until 1990, half of it was a communist slave state that sucked so bad that it needed armed guards to keep people from leaving.

I hitch-hiked around Europe in the mid-nineties (when English wasn’t commonly spoken in Central/Eastern Europe) so I appreciated this story. I stayed in a hostel most nights (unless I was offered a place to stay) so my experience was nowhere near as adventurous as yours. Thanks for the anecdote.

I should have added a necessary 'necessarily' to my assertion lol. Power corrupting gives you a template or heuristic to base some assumptions from. There are obviously exceptions, but we know that it's prudent to be skeptical of those in power. Not because of any tabula rasa 'take them for what they are' but because we have a countless examples of power being a corrupting force. And I don't think I've said anything about beating people up being moral. Could you explain where you may have gotten that impression?
Yes - I don’t disagree. But provided those conditions are met I’m sure a blended rate could be arrived at that is much lower than market rate.

If the goal is to make it easier to move I think there are options. But I don’t see anyone rushing to exchange a 2.65% loan for 8%. I mean at that rate it makes more sense to rent your home than to sell it.

Windows Recall feels like having £100million worth of gold in your roofspace and telling everybody about it.

Sooner or later, somebody is going to figure out how to steal it.

Also, it just struck me, it used to be normal to install anti-virus on Windows, because it didn't have it's own one. Anti-virus would find software like this (spyware) and block it from running.

Then, Microsoft introduced their own, built in, anti-virus, and it was really good, so we basically stopped installing our own.

Now they have added literal spyware right into their OS, that their anti-virus will be totally cool with.

I've always liked and defended MS, but I dunno anymore...
Not OP, but I went with MOREFINE AMD Ryzen mini PCs. They can be configured with a ton of CPU/RAM (including ECC). They're really compact, support 2.5 Gb ethernet, and are great to work with. A comparable Dell workstation with ECC RAM would've been significantly more expensive, and you have to deal with their business folks to purchase them (or at least I couldn't figure out how to buy them direct).

This also applies to the Rwandan genocide. A lot of it was perpetrated via mass media, especially radio. But you can also claim that there were Industrialized genocides before the Holocaust, but what sets it apart is just how much it was defined by industrialized processes.

The Gaza Genocide is similar, the use of AI for target selection (or rather generation), the social media campaigns, using drones for killings, etc. We haven’t seen a genocide before which uses information technology to the extent it really defines whole processes of the genocide.
Some places hiring child labor != all places hiring child labor.

I do agree there's too much illegal child labor going on in the US and around the world, but its a stretch to assume everyone hires child labor.

Otherwise, why won't you stop hiring child labor? You've probably hired someone to do some kind of work around your home at least once, I take it you most definitely hired children then. After all, apparently everyone does it.

Why WOULDN'T mrguyorama hire child labor to do the plumbing around his home or to do his lawn work?!

Squatters cannot break into your home and take residence.

They can only enter if you leave a window or door open for them to enter.

If they break-in that is a criminal offence and the police will treat it as a buglary and arrest those in the property.

I used to squat here on Airstrip One in my twenties when I was homeless.

We did not squat in homes where people lived, We squatted in empty properties.

The utilities companies would reconnect the gas and electricy for us but only if we paid a substantial deposit.

I dont see anything wrong with squatting in empty homes.

It is the fault of society that creates homelessness and squatting is sometimes the only way to get a roof over your head.

Humans train on continuous video. Even our most expensive models are, in terms of training set size, far behind what an infant processes in the first year of their life.

No, because the landlord would either get the rest under the table or the competition would move onto risk profiles, where someone earning 4/5k month would beat any spaniard with our unstable and poorly paid jobs.

In the end, we either do it like in Vienna or Singapore, or we're not going to solve it.

Not disagreeing. Point is, you need to know your domain, your technology, your write patterns, your downstream systems, etc to decide if a specific key scheme works to your advantage or not. All the more reason not to use natural keys, as they lock you in in that regard.
Because DXVK already exists, and you do still want to run Vulkan anyways. There are AAA games out there using it instead of Direct3D. Natively re-implementing Direct3D APIs would be a tremendous amount of work for little or no real benefit.

It’s more about protecting your network against a potentially malicious device rather than protecting the device from attackers on the Internet. From that position, placing the isp device on a “DMZ” aka outside your own router/firewall, makes perfect sense.
>AIW+ problem has following form: "Alice has 3 sisters. Her mother has 1 sister who does not have children - she has 7 nephews and nieces and also 2 brothers. Alice’s father has a brother who has 5 nephews and nieces in total, and who has also 1 son. How many cousins does Alice’s sister have?". The solution to AIW+ problem is harder to obtain than the solution to common sense AIW with very simple structure. Solving AIW+ requires taking different paternal sides, that of mother and father, and carefully calculating the number of cousins, taking care of subtracting Alice and her sister, and summing up the total number of cousins from both sides, for instance: on the mother side: 7 (total nephews and nieces) - 4 (Alice and her sisters) = 3 cousins; on the father side: 5 (total nephews and nieces) + 1 (own son of the father’s brother) - 4 (Alice and her sisters) = 2 cousins; summing up 3 + 2 = 5 cousins which Alice and any of her sisters have.

So I’m sure after the author’s created 100s of these family tree problems the answer here seems clear to them, but there are some unknowns to solve it as written.

1) Does Alice have brothers? Her mother must, but it is phrased as if her mother has 1 sister and her sister has 2 brothers, so we have to deduce that she has 3 siblings.

2) Along the same lines, does her father have a sister?

3) Do her Aunts and Uncles have nephews and nieces by marriage?

I think the LLM would still fail if these answers were made explicitly clear in the prompt. However, I could see the same problem ending with, Alice has only 4 cousins, how can that be?
> I try to leave a task 90% finished at the end of a working session. It feels slightly worse than closing out the work, but it makes starting the next day 10x easier.

I wanted to like Porkbun but failed to buy a .io domain through them because of technical problems on their end.

x86 -> ARM is already done by apple (rosetta2). What they need is a wine layer to mimmick the Windows API to allow a large amount of existing games to run on macOS without the devs porting. Which DOES exist, it is called crossover (and uses wine and GPTK). But it is a 3rd party company.

We all are, but only in meat-space. We continue to improve ourselves much faster than evolution ever could.

But what we are talking about here is the singularity in tech-space.
We entered that some time ago; or rather, the Internet accelerates the use of such information operations. This is (imho) why Musk bought Twitter.

That sounds an awful lot like "human dignity" to me. Not to mention pretty much the entirety of the Bill of Rights.

Exactly what definition of "human dignity" are you using here?

In fairness, a lot can change in 100+ years. Texas has much better utilization of its resources with a much higher population now than it did the last time they were independent. It's possible that they'd do better now.

> I don't know why one would or should be fought. The people who think that the US has the right to prevent secession are pretty weird

It might be weird but wasn't that the conclusion of the US Civil War? I very highly doubt that the fed woudl let Texas secede without a fight.

One thing that consistently bugs me is how upgrading from the lowest type of runners to _literally_ anything else renders your paid for included minutes useless. I do not understand who those wouldn't just be multiples of the base runner, much like how Mac and Windows runners are. Seems like the crediting logic is there, but knowing software, there is probably some accidental complexity causing this part not to leverage it. That said, it's very frustrating from a paying customer perspective.

The same goes for minute crediting, where splitting things up to run concurrently is actively discouraged because they individually all round up to the next minute. For example; have 3 concurrent tasks that run 1m10s? You're billed 6 minutes. I get that a run would be rounded up, but come on.
A lot of people have both mechanisms to record what's happening, and share it.

It's been that way with Syria conflict, too, though. A lot was shared in twitter/youtube during that one.

One thing that's seemingly a bit new is how much ordinary Israeli soldiers are sharing their behavior, empowered by their self-righteousness, I guess. Videos from shooting unarmed deaf people up close in their homes, to all kinds of calls for atrocities, actual assaults on international humanitarian aid trucks and violence against the drivers, cheerful mocking of starving people, dedicating videos of them blowing up peoples homes as gifts to their spouses back home in Israel, looting and stealing, wanton destruction of property (like going around and breaking things in someone's gift shop), burning people's houses down, etc. There's so much of this.

Entire 130k strong Israeli telegram channels are dedicated to collective cheering on and mocking of dead and suffering people: https://t.me/s/dead_terrorists Total dehumanization.

As far as I'm aware there have been a number of efforts to counteract declining birth rates - in South Korea, at least. I think this idea is worth exploration but I hope they're giving this great consideration and thinking about this idea in terms of its success in any long term time frame.

More generally I'm wondering if there are more reasons as to why the Tokyo government is pursuing this other than declining birth rates. Wouldn't broader reform be more effective over a dating app? I guess a dating app would be "way easier" to design and manage (if this isn't just two programmers and a parrot in some basement somewhere), but by that metric wouldn't you view this as a half-baked solution to a much larger problem? Declining birth rates is a pretty big reason to look into implementing or passing something that isn't low effort, comparatively? One advantage here is that this wouldn't have misaligned incentives like the dating apps people here are already familiar with. The housing market, financial security, loneliness, work/life balance; this idea is interacting with many themes.
Microsoft's plan is to make it opt-out, so you should be able to disable it. And you can avoid it entirely by not using an NPU-equipped machine.

Opt-out is a terrible idea for this sort of thing -- something as intrusive and dangerous as this should absolutely be opt-in -- but at least they're planning on giving that much.

> Leave tasks unfinished

I also do this. I learned that if I leave a failing test for myself in the morning, I'll think about it on and off and jump right in next session without wasting time on HN or YT for an hour or 2 in the mornings. Sometimes this ends up causing me to work a little bit late, trying to make sure I actually have a failing test written for the problem (sometimes I have an issue without an accompanying test yet), but it's worth the extra effort/time. A failing test gives me something 100% actionable to jump into in the morning, as opposed to leaving e.g. a feature half written which can have an ambiguous starting point in terms of jumping back into it. I can't recommend this enough.

You want to see some of the crap the agencies were pushing out pre-Brexit and it worked, so I wouldn't classify the average UK citizen as much to be contended with (I am UK as well for ref).
The study isn't shared, so we can't see the methodology to determine its accuracy. We see the results of the survey; but that's not a study, and the survey itself isn't shared with us.

I don't dispute that agile has its issues -- and I'd be surprised if 'agile' failure rates weren't an issue. We can empirically see the result of 25 years of 'agile', and it's not somewhere we should aspire to be.

The issues comes down to this:

1. Is adopting an 'agile' methodology sufficient to ensure (insert goal here)?
2. Has the software industry adopted a method of operating that creates a statistical quality control; and adopted practices that investigate and remediate special causes and common causes of variation in quality?

To spoil it: for #1 the answer is 'no', and for #2 the answer is a resounding 'no'.

There are practices that are ingredients to the world described in #2, but we as an industry have not yet adopted a systematic way of thinking and resolving problems in the software development process.

I think we'd be better off adopting Deming's method of management and his System of Profound Knowledge and be far better off than adopting the agile fad of the week; even as I admit I still have open questions on how to apply his work to Software. (See "The New Economics" 3rd Edition, and "Out of the Crisis", both written by Deming).
That had better be something that I have to opt-in on.
