I can't search it up now, but I have seen a derivation that if you work all the way through the math, it turns out your intuition is wrong and in the case of something like a planet orbiting a star, if the star is moving at a reasonably constant speed (ignoring all the relativity details around how to define that for now) it turns out that the planet actually will effectively orbit around the "current" position of the star, even though gravity only travels at the speed of light [1]. Our naive expectation that it would orbit only where it sees the star in the sky right now fails to account for some additional correction terms that show up when you take the dynamics of the situation into account, and it happens to come out in what you may think of as a coincidence to "correcting" the point actually being orbited to what is also the current position of the star. (Technically I think it is still off, but galactic orbits are very, very slow, so the errors introduced by them are also very very small.) You may recall in physics class how the difficulty of understanding situations amped up once you move from statics to dynamics, especially if you took a real calculus-based version of it. In much the same way that even if you use Newtonian gravity, simply knowing the formula may still leave you surprised at quite a lot of what can happen in orbital mechanics.

If the star suddenly disappeared or zoomed off in another direction, it would be a light-speed delay before the planet "noticed" anything, but that generally does not happen, obviously.

I expect the derivation I saw would not be valid for orbits involving speeds close to c, but I would expect the general observation that the effective center of the orbit is in fact not the time-delayed location would still hold.

This is also because ACPI is a very heavy and painful specification that even regular computer manufacturers don’t get right.

For example, just recently, I bought a HP Victus 15 with an RTX 3050. Tried installing Linux, turns out there’s a BIOS bug with the ACPI implementation, with no currently documented fix, that completely breaks wake from sleep.

Even though Windows runs on basically anything without a Device Tree; it’s something of an illusion. Old Windows builds might not run on modern processors despite the same instruction set (Windows XP won’t install on a 12700K), and Windows automatically downloading drivers covers up many things before you notice.
I kind of stumbled into it. I have a server that's processing a lot of incoming data from field devices that expect quick 200 responses. The processing I was required to do on the data was pretty expensive time-wise, mainly because I have to make multiple calls to a third-party API that isn't highly performant. In order to keep everything stable, I had to delegate the data processing to a separate process via a message broker (Redis, with the Bull npm package as an abstraction layer to handle the message-passing), and I have no regrets. This pattern was suggested in the NestJS documentation, the framework I am using.
After I realized the power of this pattern (especially because of my heavy leaning on mentioned third-party API), I started using it in other areas of my application as well, and I find to be a helpful pattern. As far as maintenance goes, I just have Heroku take care of my Redis instance. I can easily upgrade my specs with a simple CLI command.
There was a slight learning curve in the beginning, but I got the hang of it pretty quickly, and it's been easy to reason about since.
The point is adding a centralized control structure in front of E2E encrypted traffic fundamentally undermines the principals that make E2E work. It creates a massive centralized point of failure, creating an obvious and fundamentally brittle target for hackers to exploit in what's otherwise our only effective privacy and security measures.

There will always be tradeoffs between security/privacy and enforcement. There are ways to target harmful content without undermining E2E. There is no way to replace the privacy and security guarantees of E2E.
Bun put a lot of work into making both “import” and “require” always work regardless of whether it’s given a commonjs or an ESM target. I’d say that’s half of the right idea: make only import work with anything.

Another angle that might be effective: take the most popular aspect of commonjs - `require(‘extensionless-string’)` - and tie it to the least popular aspect, .cjs extensions.

You build this system, a LLM, it uses a technical process that it outputs seemingly the same output that you - a human - could output, given a prompt.

You can do "reasoning" about a topic, the LLM can produce a very similar output to what you could, how do you name the output of the LLM?

Birds can fly, they do by a natural process. A plane also can fly, we do not "see" any difference between both things when we look at them flying in the air, far from the ground.

This is mostly it about LLM "doing reasoning" or not. Semantics. The output is same.

You could just name it otherwise, but it would be still the same output.

I didn't understand the comment to be about specific products, but more overall categories. I think space tourism is likely going to be a huge category, it's just decades away still. I don't know about supersonic passenger flight or building tunnels everywhere. It may never be worth it for those categories.

But regardless, I don't think that many people really thought Musk was going to build much with Boring. I certainly didn't.

And has anyone in the last three decades (other than Boom's hapless investors) thought that supersonic passenger flight was going to be huge?
The very existence of dangerous weapons, be they nukes or handguns (or swords or tanks), makes the world less of a safe place than if they didn't exist. Existence is pretty much the most inherent attribute anything can have, AFAICS, so yes: Dangerous weapons are inherently unsafe. (Take that Glock, for example -- that's exactly the problem, that someone can take it. Might be someone who knows how to remove the safety.)
>doesn’t apply to people not under those jurisdictions.

Of course not but if an American company in the US caters to EU users with, for example, a localized site it does absolutely apply to them. Same the other way around. Just because you or your server are too small to matter doesn't mean it is irrelevant.

America doesn't make the world rules is often said when they create one set of rules for them and another for everyone else (US can have warships near china but if it was reversed we would have a new Cuban crisis) and when they create rules in places they have the most power to create international laws that fit their world view but not their enemies. In a perfect world the US would have zero power and zero say a meter outside its borders.
Is it though? All you'd need to control some gyros is a microcontroller. I can't imagine it'd be more than a couple hundred lines of code implementing a PID controller or something. In fact, you could probably do it with standalone controllers, some sensors and relays.
This could be supported with String constructor with StringTemplate overload.

String str = new String("Hello \{name}");

OR just add a .interpolate() function

String str = "Hello \{name}".interpolate(); // verbose
String str = "Hello \{name}".join(); // less verbose, but less representative

OR probably at the bottom of the list of recommendations

String str = "Hello \{name}".toString() // matches StringBuilder behaviour

Knowing Java devs, also a non-zero chance it becomes

String str = "Hello \{name}".toUnsafeString()

Are you this concerned about the cost of keeping millions of black men locked up in prison for 20 years because they had some marijuana in their pocket?
True. But that’s really just another way of saying “at worst, ACPI can still require a small amount of the work that is always required for ARM hardware” if you squint and look at it from a glass-half-full perspective!
Small tip for anyone running a superlight and minimally distracting Linux desktop with X11, i3, and no compositor.

Until recently, tear-free video playback necessitated double buffering hacks and older Intel drivers, or using a compositor like picom. Results were always sub-par imo.

Along came Mr Sultan Alsawaf: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/commit/0dacee6...

Been running the patch set through Arch's xorg-server-git package ever since it came out, and with mpv as player spaceships have never been zooming smoother along the starry sky. For ultimate playback smoothness I scan the video file for dimensions and refresh rate and then set a custom modeline using xrandr to match display timing with media fps, while maxing out the capabilities of the display link.

Get a kettlebell or two (different weights) and do swings, lots of them. This worked for me.

They can be done any time, indoors or out. It's much more minimalist than a squat rack so I think its a lot easier for most people to start (unless you're already going to a gym frequently or have your own bar).

If you can do ~100 daily with ease, consider a bigger weight.

> Even if you want a significantly more strict immigration and asylum law, human rights must be protected.

Says who? As a Hungarian I never voted for these “human rights” that allows third worlders to waltz through our borders and into our backyards.

If they don’t like being detained at the border they can pound sand and go back to where they came from. We never invited them and they went through several safe countries to get here.

I wonder how much migration would it take for the overwhelming majority to realize that these “ideals” are utterly ridiculous and go against the very idea of statehood. 10 million economic migrants? 50mil? maybe a hundred?

> It’s a unit test framework

It's not a unit test framework. It reaches into the internals of React to make it behave as though it's running in a real environment. It requires intense knowledge of how React works under the hood, and the design requires it to be compatible with lots of old versions of React as well as the latest version.

Honestly I'm not sure why you are so dismissive of the incredible amount of effort that's gone into making it work at all and how much effort it would take it make it work for the latest version of React.
The initialization of the CPU, the control of its supply voltage and clock frequencies, the memory controllers and all the peripheral controllers, like PCIe, USB, display, GPU, video codecs, sound, video camera and so on.

There is a huge amount of work needed to support any kind of computer, beyond the ISA of its CPU. All the device drivers required by a modern computer may total millions of LoC.

Unlike for the Intel-AMD computers, for Arm systems few computers observe any standards, though Elite X implements ACPI, which made its initial support much easier than for the older Arm computers.

With the help of ACPI, OpenBSD has succeeded to use NVMe (i.e. a SSD), USB (any peripherals) and the display as a simple frame buffer.

This would be enough to use such a laptop as a server, but to use it as a personal computer a lot more would be needed. ACPI shows a ton of undocumented peripherals. Using those will have to wait the Linux support promised by Qualcomm. After open-source device drivers would be available, they could also be ported to any other operating system.

The problem you're hinting at being what? The fact that people use messengers to coordinate crimes?

You might wanna consider that the people you critique here already weighed the pros and cons of the question. E.g. I am pretty convinced some crimes are also discussed in European bedrooms while people have sex. Yet for some reason I believe the police should not be allowed to spy and listen to things happening in every bedroom indiscriminately.

In a world of AI you either have private communications or you don't. In the analog world of the past surveillance systems were still limited by the number of people you had to employ to listen in on your population. This is no longer the case. And that no longer being the case shifts the power dynamic between the state and its citizens in favour of the state. This can be a real problem if you you trust your state, but becomes a terrible problem once you have people in power who don't believe the people are entitled to choosing their leaders.

I don't buy that police is suddenly unable to figure out crimes just because they are unable to read every conversation people have on messengers. If you want total safety and you're so frigthened of the world that you long for a all powerful leader that has insight into all our lives, I got bad news. Historically that kind of arrangment hasn't been particularily safe or stable, because such a leader doesn't care about people doing a good job, he cares about having loyal people around him. And that means all the lower ranking people will be left to fight among themselves, as police is no longer doing the job of keeping people safe, but the job of keeping governments safe.

Our democratic systems are brittle and every power you give to the state or other actors needs to be considered in its consequences.
I still like ACPI, don’t get me wrong, for what it does. At the same time though, there is argument to be had for “we wrote a device tree, therefore it works” versus “it 95% works, good enough, so nobody’s going to fix the rest anytime soon.”

ARM is attempting to fix this with a certification program called SystemReady SR; but it’s optional and hasn’t caught on outside of servers.
> I am merely pointing out that the type of reasoning you’re using is typically seen in the type of psychiatric gatekeeping

You called this reasoning "completely faulty" in your previous comment, which clearly goes well beyond that.

What you are actually trying to do is stigmatise a valid form of reasoning, by association.
Detection as Code Beta Support in RunReveal
I would argue the benefit is just making everything much simpler. You never need to think about module systems and interoperability -- there is only one module system to deal with.

That proposal seems to have stalled, and I doubt it's going anywhere. Here is the thing: people want hard, strict compiler checks that can be enforced at all time, not Python-style type hints. If you want JavaScript but type checked, Typescript is the de-facto standard. Either do "checkJS" or convert the project to Typescript. In fact, the latter is much better in terms of expressiveness.
Great examples.

It seems like one of the defining characteristics of a paradigm-shifting technology is that a lot of smart people dismiss it at first. The skepticism and cynicism I see about AI from the HN crowd (of all places) is such a great example. I use AI every day as both a user and developer and it's an incredible gamechanger. It's pretty surprising to me how incurious and conservative many HN commentators appear to be, but maybe it shouldn't. I'm guessing the median age on this site of the active commenters is now in the mid 30s or early 40s.

You can’t vote Council Members out of office. The council is made up of the heads of state for each member country. Depending on the exact flavour of democracy your state operates, will determine if their role is directly elected or not. There are many countries where the head state isn’t directly elected, and even where they are directly elected, there many more pressing national issues that make other candidates even more unsavoury.

One of the most crazy ideas I have is one to generate C++ code for Cardputter in order to have a little Uiua machine. Arduino tooling is so slow (or it might be the thing for this specific board, no idea), that I figured it's going to be easier to develop it in Prolog and then generate C code from it (i.e. key handlers, rendering etc.)

Thing with Prolog is, that people think it's slow, but it's not. I agree that in 80's it might have not be usable, but today I'm having 2.1M Lips (Logical Iteration Per Seconds), so solution might not be inefficient but I save on the lines of code in the end.
