I guess, it sounds like openai is doing something right
Very cute! Love the concept. One thing i would love to see is character development, or if the AI will snap at a certain point. That would make the harassment feel more rewarding ;) but nicely executed.
There is a question of priorities here.

Ubuntu is the distro that most likely works out of the box and is the most compatible with any software. The rest are just preferences.

Maybe this project can help people explore new configurations. However, I've found that each tweak costs time with each installation, needs regular updates, and some elements are not compatible. It is possible to enjoy the flexibility of Linux without trying to be a Picasso of the desktop experience.

Also, I tried it in a box, it crashed.
That would be a very large archive, unless you used a compiled language, and it wouldn't be cross platform.
its not too bad syntax really.

asm('asm code' : 'outputs' : 'inputs')

you can even use labels in it etc. for in/ouputs so it's 'easily readable'.

People just write it really lazy, don't use proper formatting / whitespace which makes it really difficult to read _other_peoples_inline_assembly.

I'd wager if you write it nicely with comments etc. it's quite alright. with some macros it might be more beautiful but imho those are harder/more annoying to interpret.

Robots. I think we're way closer to having robots care for elderly people than having an independent colony on Venus :-P.
It's a semi-noob illusion that focusing only on modern standards and practices would surely result in a leaner implementation. This goes all the way back to the big push for web standards in 1998—e.g. you can find Slashdot Q&As from the early 2000s where people bring up the idea of how much smaller the browser could be without quirks mode and IE compatibility and then get corrected about how much of the code base this stuff actually takes up.
I'm simplifying Figma design reviews
Hi! I'm building a Figma plugin that gives you instant reviews and suggestions on your Figma screens.
Ok wow that's pretty strange.
This is like saying that you can't have a physical ailment unless you're bedridden.
Sounds like this could be a nice extension to clang/gcc sanitizers, adding checks that certain registers are unmodified across inline assembly calls.
It's been a similar pattern with ADHD, it feels like its almost been turned into a trend. Although that being said we've had a number of people at our place been diagnosed with ADHD, Autism and in some cases both, all developers, all within the last 3-5 years, and you know what, they're absolutely correct diagnosis.

It's a mix of romanticization and a change in acceptance and understanding of the two, and they do often go hand in hand as we've seen.

But things like the tiktoks mentioning "My Ausistic brain" or "My ADHD brain" are a bit over the top and are making it feel like it's being treated as a 'cool thing' to have.

For me personally I knew I had some sort of autism or ADHD decades ago. It was only when I started having massive issues focusing on work a couple of years back, combined with stimming and an increase in sensory issues that I decided it was time to investigate and sure enough, diagnosed with both. Out of the ~20 developers at my workplace a good 2/3 of them are either diagnosed with one or the other, or exhibit strong signals that would indicate they've likely got at very least ADHD.
Ask HN: As someone with obscure CUDA knowledge, how to become AI developer?
I did quite a lot of CUDA, algorithms, and parallel computing in general during my university time. I wrote my Master’s thesis on GPGPU. This was before it was applied to crypto mining or AI. I was supposed to stay at the Uni and do PhD in GPGPU, but eventually accepted a much better paid entry-level job at a company and, subsequently, I haven’t touched low-level programming since graduating and moving on to coding in Java/.Net/SQL, etc.

Over a decade has passed and you can imagine the level of my 20/20 FOMO frustration for not having carried on with the more advanced engineering stuff.

So my questions is: what resources and what direction would you recommend for someone like myself to narrow that gap of 10 years, such that I could hopefully apply for an interesting job in the field sometime 12 months from now? I am absolutely aware it would take a lot of studying, especially on AI/ML maths and algorithms.

Perhaps someone has already been in a similar situation and can share their experience?

I will much appreciate any input here!
In general, the instructions for creating a copy of an object can be very different from instructions for creating an original from scratch, because instructions for copying can use information already in instance A. And DNA is certainly instructions for copying, not for building from scratch.

How far you'd get using DNA to create some organism from scratch is unclear, but it's certainly not very far at all. You certainly can't create a whole eukaryotic cell just from DNA, even with all put current knowledge of organic chemistry plus our ability to study how current cells actually work (no one has come even slightly close to building a self-replicating prokaryotic cell).

Edit: imagine source code for a compiler that is allowed to strcpy() bits of the currently running compiler. It's a legitimate way to create a running compiler, but it's not what we'd normally consider "source code".
Yeah - thats really good model and best way to keep conversaions going.
Also Zulip's model is very practical too.

Does it seem unusual? What is your usual experience with organisations based in a sanctioned country asking for a donation to charity in lieu of a bug bounty payment? It sounds like you have an interesting and unique perspective to share.
They have the added benefit of not having to give a damn about those people, as they interact infrequently, and likely won't even recognize each other the next time. An occasional unpleasant regular is a different story entirely, but I suppose that's what the security person is there for.

Are you able to prove or at least provide a convincing reason for that statement?
Can parental controls help in this case?
Our system at work is a command driven system. We don't use messages as a source of state, but really just as Async instructions. And we store them which can be useful for retrying, data fixes, and stats.

I feel like a lot of teams out there can probably benefit from this simpler approach - it's probably what a lot of people are doing unwittingly.

I'm curious, does this require a 2K account or just require it for online play. Because of this account is required for single player and I won't be buying this, and I own every other version of civilization
Also, I forgot, it's a disingenuous comparison if you know anything about how life, subsistence, marginal savings rate & co work, which I assume you do if we're discussing these kinds of topics.

The scale of "GDP per capita and how people are living" is roughly this:

At a "GDP of literally zero" you're DEAD.

At a GDP of 1k, you can afford a cheap bicycle.

At a GDP of 10k, you can afford small, old, beat up and unsafe cars.

At a GDP of 30k, you can afford almost all modern amenities, they'll just be smaller, older, have fewer features.

At a GDP of 80k you can do whatever the hell you want if real estate expenses aren't killing you.

So no, you can't freely compare a country at 10k with one at 80k and try to bail out the comparison with PPP.

And the difference between 1 billion and 1 billion 30k is 1 billion. Percentages matter, thresholds matter. The person having 1 billion 30k doesn't have a materially different life to the person having 1 billion. The person having 30k is reasonably well off, the person having 0 is dead. The person having 40k is also reasonably well off while the person having 10k is poor (and NOT US poor, world standards poor; which BTW, is about the global average, which makes the average person in the world poor by modern development standards).

Compare like with like:

Good - incentive to strip down the dependency tree to be more resonable.

I think GP is referring to people like Elon Musk, who have a personal brand built around the idea that they’re “rational people who make data-driven decisions based on logic” and yet twist themselves into fascinating rhetorical shapes trying to argue that human colonization of Mars is possible, necessary and also imminent. I think they do this because they recognize that “some small amount of our resources” won’t actually be enough to do anything on Mars in the coming century, and they want to go to Mars in their lifetime.
I’ve also fully switched to Claude as my goto, the responses are way superior and manages to exceed my expectations almost everytime. I use gpt3.5 when I’ve used up my free quota on Claude.

Do tell...
There’s a kind of insufferable harridan who thinks that Elon Musk is Satan incarnate, but when they migrated to Mastodon, not only did nobody want to follow them, but rather appreciated their absence.
Our system is command driven, and works well, but it is because we explicitly have less rigorous demands on the messages and the messages don't cross team boundaries. My past experience also makes me wary of event driven systems.
I guess the benefit of piku comes with the ease of use for developers who don't know lots about system administration/infrastructure.

Spinning up a server and installing a repo on it is easy.
Depends on your use case and on what you know/have.

I prefer ansible or jenkins+scp-build-to-server+run-deploy.script

I added it to my tools list in case i need sth quick'n working for a small team/to recommend when there's no ansible/sysadmin knowledge available.

(I haven't looked into piku but i guess you'll hit its limitation once you have more complex deployment schemes, privilege/access management, ...)

There's absolutely a school of thought which views Venus as a better colonization candidate than Mars, and as early as the 70's scientists envisioned floating cities.

From https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colonization_of_Venus:

In effect, a balloon full of human-breathable air would sustain itself and extra weight (such as a colony) in midair. At an altitude of 50 kilometres (31 mi) above the Venusian surface, the environment is the most Earth-like in the Solar System beyond Earth itself – a pressure of approximately 1 atm or 1000 hPa and temperatures in the 0 to 50 °C (273 to 323 K; 32 to 122 °F) range. Protection against cosmic radiation would be provided by the atmosphere above, with shielding mass equivalent to Earth's.

Humans working outside could wear simpler breathing masks rather than full pressure suits.

In fact I came here to offer a counterpoint to this statement in the article:

"Nearby Venus has far too much atmosphere, whose pressure and noxious gases would crush and choke visitors from Earth."

Of course high windspeeds and the constant bombardment of acid rain would be a problem.

I could imagine Venus one day being an exotic, cloud-top paradise for the rich (reminiscent of BioShock Infinity) that's expensive to maintain, and Mars a brute workhorse that eventually displaces it as a more resilient habitat over the very long term (eg. after terraforming).
You can try Techstars or Antler - they're both similar to YC. I think 500 Startups has a great name and is on-par with YC, but they're equally competitive.
I have gotten a new photo and replacement drivers license from a DPS in a different county in TX as recently as one month ago.
These types of services are incentivised to over test and you may find many spurious results when you over test. Look up the term "incidentaloma". If you have to get a real doctor to interpret and re order these tests, you are contributing to the burden of the system rather than a "pre test". The specific example you mention is apples and oranges, since the FIT test is a specific validated screening test provided by government rather than a profit driven private lab. There is evidence it's not even that helpful as a screening test.
It could be argued that the "decompressor binary" is actually a female human, which sounds a bit like the old "store large parts of the compressed data in the decoder to get a smaller file size" trick. :-) Maybe the sperm / egg are deltas? I wonder if there has been any research done with parental similarity with gestation using surrogacy vs. natural mother.

I spent 1990->2010 using windows. Certain things get stuck in your mind.

Interesting.

I was given a ticket driving through Texas recently, and the cop told me if I went to a grocery store (he pointed to one off the freeway), that there was a video kiosk there. That kiosk had a judge or what not waiting, and I could get an instant trial for the ticket.

I have to admit, that part of it is efficient.

I didn't bother, and just paid it online later, but still... neat.

Ironically, that's what the companies have been doing for the past few years, by having people talk to voice assistant "AI"s instead of humans.

Hell, you could argue the process started much earlier: before voice assistants came DTMF phone menus with automated recordings; before that came outsourcing customer support to cheapest labor available - which is like hooking up ChatGPT to the phone line, except with protein robots paid peanuts and worked to the bone instead.

They definitely can and they do, the only question is whether they will get caught or not. Folks at Volkswagen, Enron, Theranos, etc. probably thought they would never get caught.

My sister didn't say her first word until she was almost 5 and would bang her head against the wall. Hearing people say that autism "isn't a disability, it's a differentability lol!" or "oh I must be autistic because I'm awkward", or worst of all "don't try to treat people with autism it's cruel!" (aka don't force insurance companies to cover ABA, which is the only reason my sister can even talk now) is really upsetting.
I see, thank you for this tip.

Which is flagged for some reason.
> The idea that IQ and EQ are negatively correlated is dubious at best.

How about: IQ and EQ are mostly fixed in any given individual. You can use one to simulate the other - e.g. using EQ to get help or bullshit your way through a problem your IQ is insufficient for, or using IQ to intentionally behave in a way that would be totally natural if you had higher EQ. So it's not that they're negatively correlated per se, just that if you're being pressured past your limit in one, the other will effectively drop.
Depends on where you live.

Walk around an Amazon warehouse unannounced for an afternoon observing its transformation of surveillance capitalism into a set of funhouse mirrors where the observer cannot discern between observer and observed - an infinitely extensible Heisenbug.

Doubtful - you probably just need to pay for a business line. Somtimes you can also just ask nicely for a non-NATed IP but I imagine this will get rarer as IP prices increase.
Thanks! I've used Google's internal version of Bazel but it wasn't until this project where I had to spend a lot of effort getting Bazel working in a new project, which is honestly a lot of work and not very straightforward :(

What helped me the most was looking at other projects using Bazel with similar tech stacks and then assembling it together, e.g. :

- https://github.com/angular/components
- https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorboard

Alex Eagle of https://www.aspect.build/ has a lot of great resources on using Bazel - both on YouTube and the aspect website.
> If it appears human, we will develop a false sense of trust. But you can never trust it as you would trust a human.

I would certainly never trust it as I would a human, but in most instances that makes it more trustworthy, not less.
Besides the usual Firefox/Chrome, Spotify, etc I use the following:

- Karabiner-Elements[0] for key remapping, specifically, for making caps lock into ctrl/esc. I don't know of anything else that does this job. Everyone who remaps keys seems to use this.

- Kitty[1] as my terminal of choice. I spend most of my time logged in remotely to a server via ssh where I attach to a tmux session. Kitty was easy enough to configure/theme and seems well-documented.

- Hammerspoon[2] for a DIY automation/keybinding/window management sys scriptable via lua. I use a private fork of this config: https://github.com/jasonrudolph/keyboard/tree/main

- Vivid[3] to make my macbook's screen brighter when outdoors on sunny days. This is important for me, since I try to spend as much time outside as possible.

I didn’t read the article but a disc-less console is not something I want.

I have a ps4 and strongly dislike the subscription model for games, and not having many games that are not truly mine, I.e I bought them through the store so all digital or I had them through the subscription, with has now ended.

In fact I just bought a game (disc in a box) last night because I want it as in physical and can insert into the console. Why? because digital means we own nothing and that doesn’t make me happy
To be fair, they provided CVEs. And at least one of these seems worth attention, i.e. is related to a popular product (PrestaShop):

So basically LLMs can be used as more sophisticated fuzzers, and that's a good thing - although I'd say this way of testing is still quite expensive.

Funny, probably have no communication between these departments either, the people hiring them think they are excellent and then the ones firing them don't.

But the problem never gets solved because the hiring people just go "I don't know at all why this person got laid off, looks great on paper! Let's re-hire them."
