is it possible these people just can't "hear" their inner voice? or regard it as something else?
There’s basically 1 reason I haven’t switched back to Mac: I want a non reflective screen - I don’t want to look at an outline of myself when working, and I want a laptop I can work with in any position, not just where light sources and reflections behind me are carefully removed.
Perhaps an artificial dichotomy between thought and communication is itself false. After all, is thinking not in some sense remembered experience (ie. the past self) communicating with the present (ie. future self)?
On an older version of Windows I used the Classic Shell start menu. It's rockin', and works how you'd expect a start menu to.
I've not used Java for many years now, but earlier when I did, the "sun.*" packages were clearly mentioned as subject to change and not to be relied on, IIRC.
It’s not really that simple any more. There’s a magazine in Germany called ÖkoTest and they do a lot of testing of all kind of products. We were shocked at the results for olive oil (and these were all from Europe, Italy and Spain), most of them all had mineral oils from processing probably and only one or two from the 20+ brands tested were free of mineral oils and had decent or ok overall results. Even some of the BIO/organic ones were not so good.
I’m curious if a msealed region can have breakpoints placed in it.
There’s official documentation for all Linux config files. Package managers are aware of config files and handle user changes during updates, if required. Config files are designed to be edited by humans and nearly all support some sort of comment syntax. None of these properties apply to editing registry settings.
Ah yes, that's true of course.
>Why should we turn information into a "product", introducing scarcity where none is required

Because expert information comes from experts who are paid a lot to do stuff not involving the authoring of their ideas. And we need to incentivize them to get said valuable information. How many people here have some novel expertise in their fields? How many would help produce technical articles pro Bono? Or for pay but end up mass pirated?

I 1000% agree the publishers themselves take way too much off the top of these authors, but the concept of "just provide knowledge out of thr good of your heart" doesn't work at scale.

>If we are sticking with a mostly capitalist system so that money is so important to get things created, then a government can provide some for this purpos

Which runs into all the problems we all know too well. Something something politics, something something taxes, something something lobbying.

On top of all that, the government just simply doesn't compensate as well as the private sector. I'm not sure if this will ever change.
Language is a tool for manipulation. Sure it is used for communication with people considered “equals”. But primarily people use it to get what they want from people they can outmaneuver and/or manipulate verbally and legally (both are an extension of language).

Language’s roots are in trade and survival. Therefore manipulation of others for the speakers benefit has ALWAYS been the primary purpose.
Because unlike physical property, new knowledge gets absorbed into the culture and language over time, and you cannot hold everyone who expresses it to ransom perpetually. If that were the case, consider how much of today's HN home page could be read without paying royalties.

Another way to look at this: unlike physical property, what you pay for is the novelty. And that wears off.
It’s the dumbest, most complained about feature of the whole office suite - why would they enshittify search of emails? So bizarre.
How did you get a backwards Y, T, and W? /s
from the first glance of the example, it seems like the 1st use case is invoking a function (selected by chatgpt) and the 2nd use case is similar to instructor.

can you comment how your library differs from instructor (what yours can do that instructor can't and vice versa?)

There’s actually a few different glibc replacements available for Linux.

And if you think OneDrive is essential for Windows then I’d suggest you do a little reading on the history of Microsoft and how they falsely claim dependencies on their own software stacks. Especially the court cases around debundling IE4 with Win98, and DR-DOS vs Windows 95.
Yeah I actually miss the days of .ini files. They typically lived in the same directory as the program, so you didn't wind up with gigabytes of leftover tidbits from software you uninstalled or just ran once.
A soffritto is the perfect kind of use case for a low smoke point oil. The big pile of moist ingredients is going to prevent the oil from getting close to the smoke point.
But with the terminal you still have to learn commands, it's not as discoverable as the windows 95 environment. There you could do things as a noob by just looking around and after a while you could do things without even thinking. Every windows version after that has broken that flow in some way. In Linux I keep forgetting what file to edit to get what I want. I need to look up location and syntax for most things every time I want to do something.
Leave it alone? It's unnecessary bloatware, that performs absolutely zero required functionality. It's continuous prominent presence in the _always_ visible part of the file tree on the left of _every_ explorer window is a constant reminder that what used to be my favorite OS is now user hostile.

At least in Europe it did get a proper uninstall a while ago, which proves that it really was just there for promotion.

I'd gladly pay for a version of Windows that just leaves me alone. No I don't want Edge, Bing, a weather snippet, start search, Cortana, forced updates and a regular black pattern maze promising a somehow "improved experience" while trying to force metrics participation down my throat.

But I also don't want Linux, because many tools I rely on (plus games) won't run on it and I don't want a Mac because it's too opinionated. It feels exactly like being stuck in an abusive relationship at this point.
much smoother than the sf uber teslas that all have jerky regenerative braking on
I personally cook with olive oil. It does have a low smoke point, but as long as you're not deep frying with it, it works well.
Color perception depends on peculiarities of biology. Numbers and numeric quantities do not.

The number of quarks in a proton or neutron is always 3.

There are a fair number of dimensionless physical constants: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimensionless_physical_constan...

You can choose different number systems to represent the values symbolically, but the numbers will always be the same. At least in this universe.

Wildly, parts of physics are only possible to describe adequately using imaginary numbers, which suggests that we could have chosen a better name for them: https://www.sciencenews.org/article/quantum-physics-imaginar...
There is no problem with the investments size, China had way less investments. The problem is in the amount of work and production regulations, which in some cases just doesn't exist in China.
Italy and Germany (and France) are also neighboring countries with a common language (IT less so than DE and FR).

Having lived in Thailand, I am confident that 'น้ำใจ' is still a distinct concept from 'charity' in 'faith, hope, and charity'.

They are probably closer in meaning than the most common definition of 'charity' though.
A reason for subsiding this group but not others is that our economic system is so bad at utilizing the potential of their work.

It's literally free to distribute all books/newspapers/magazines to all people in the world. Why aren't we?

It's common to have state intervention in markets that are unable to utilize resources efficiently on their own.

About UBI, sure! The point of my comment was that this isn't a "fanciful overhaul of society" but a real possibility that could be implemented given some though and political will. UBI also fits that category, but is probably a bit more expensive and disruptive than financing authors.
Most of the time we are communicating (internal monologue) with ourselves which I’m sure shapes our thoughts. I’d guess a large percentage of that is through a language.

In fact languages codify a community’s culture, values, a way of life all of which go way beyond communication.
in my experience the prices are competitive to 10% more and wait times are 5-12 minutes longer than Uber/lyft

I remember how CD-ROM killed the golden age of the PC computer role-playing game. When people had to make do with text, limited graphics and procedural content generation, we got things like Serpent Isle, Darklands, Betrayal at Krondor and X-Com near the end of the era. Then suddenly you had CD-ROMs to fill with static media files, everything had to look like a movie and now you only had capacity for pretty much one happy path with some half-assed roadblocks put in the way. The mid-nineties ended up being a dark age where people pretty much stopped making games with complex open worlds and many viable ways to interact with things.

Things did start looking up again near the end of the decade with Fallout, Baldur's Gate, Gothic, Thief and Deus Ex, only for the XBox to show up to ruin everything all again in 2001.
The vegetable section is about 2-3x as large as the snack/candy aisle at my (American) grocery store. And that's not even counting the fruit area next to it.

Tu-4 was indeed a very close copy of B-29, but no, they did not "carefully duplicate the battle damage" on the original. The one prominent example of copying unnecessary things that is usually showcased in this instance is a mistakenly drilled rivet hole in one of the wings that was carefully reproduced thereafter despite there not being any evident purpose for it.

That said, even then Tu-4 wasn't a carbon copy. Because US used imperial units for everything, Soviets simply couldn't make it a carbon copy because they could not e.g. source plating and wire of the exact right size. So they replaced it with the nearest metric equivalents that were available, erring on the side of making things thicker, to ensure structural integrity - which also made it a little bit heavier than the original. Even bigger changes were made - for example, Tupolev insisted on using existing Soviet engines (!), weapons, and radios in lieu of copying the American ones. It should be noted that Stalin really did want a carbon copy originally, and Tupolev had to fight his way on each one of those decisions.
Simula is basically C++ before C++, and we know C++ is not OOP in the original sense. When OOP was first defined, it was quite explicitly noted that C++ is not OOP. Java's object model follows in the same vein as this lineage. These are not OOP languages, as originally conceived.

Furthermore, message passing was the defining feature of OOP. Of course it was. That is the distinction OOP was calling attention to – what made OOP different from the other object-based languages that had been around for decades beforehand. Nobody was going to randomly come up with OOP out of the blue to describe a programming model from the long ago past. Method calling may be superficially similar, but OOP was coined to call attention to what difference there is.

You are, of course, quite free to come up with your own redefinition of OOP that includes Simula, C++, Java, whatever you wish. You would not be the first. However, as we are talking about the original definition, whatever you want to define it as does not apply. It is not your definition that is under discussion.
DuckDB has certain optimizations which allows it to read only parts of a parquet file. It can also read remote file in streaming fashion so it does not have to wait for the entire file to be downloaded or to store a large amount of data in memory.

MacOS doesn't force updates for general users. But if you want to run the latest Xcode, yeah you need the latest OS.

This is the quintessential Linux issue. The whole system works, but there's always some minor hitch that makes the experience less seamless than the "corporate" counterparts. Oh, there's lag when you scroll, or the scroll behaves erratically in general? That's actually been an issue for 10+ years, get used to it. Screen tearing? Well, here's the solution, but it has drawbacks and breaks something else somewhere else. System nukes itself after an update? You're on your own now.

In terms of modifiability and openness, open source anything is far superior to anything else - which is valuable for a community like this. But there's still plenty to do in terms of providing as seamless of an experience to some average Joe as what macOS/Windows does.
> You can force starving people into unfair arrangements where the choice is between getting screwed or dying of hunger.

History shows us that if you want to force starving people to work for you, you also need to shoot the people who refuse. See the Soviet gulags, and the Nazi slave labor camps.
ChromeOS could step up as the Linux destination. One way or another, I'd like to see Windows get what it deserves for treating its users this way.
Language's roots are in survival, as in being able to talk to others of your tribe. I'm sure manipulation has always been part of language, but it's a tool for communication foremost. "Og, watch out for that sabretooth tiger!" is hardly manipulation.

I feel sorry for you that you consider manipulation to be so central.
What OS does Bill Gates use these days?
That's a fair point. I could also have said "certain very vocal parts of the Linux community have resisted every effort to move to modern UI toolkits".

DWM, Direct2D, Direct Composition, and the fact that major Windows UX frameworks use them does allow significant offloading of drawing to GPU instead of CPU, however.
Bun would be cool if it worked. At least it's not written in Rust so there's that.
I can't recall any grocery stores where the vegetable section is smaller than the candy and crisps section. Certainly not the ones I've frequently shopped at over the years. But maybe I also have a different definition of "grocery store". I suspect you're not in the USA because of the term "crisps". What we commonly call a "grocery store" here, from what I understand, might be called a "supermarket" in other parts of the world, which may be where the mix up happens.

Edit to add: We do have in some areas smaller grocery stores that are not supermarkets and what they contain can vary wildly.

Also, you might be surprised at some of the cooking us Americans can do. Not me, but others that aren't me.

How about addressing what he said if anything is incorrect, instead of personally attacking him?
I just looked and I don't get them but I see them on others computers. I can't remember doing any registry hacks on this so not sure why I don't get them... Maybe because I upgraded from windows 7 and never had a windows account, running as local user only?
What do you mean when you say it doesn't "work"? You click the windows icon and nothing comes up? It displays but nothing is clickable? On 2 different machines? Really? This seems like hyperbole. It sounds like there's a specific feature that doesn't work for you as it used to, but instead of describing the issue you've thrown up your hands and declared it to not work. If it truly does not open or respond to clicks I'd love to know about it and retract this comment!
I wouldn’t mind the defaults if they weren’t horrible. No, I don’t want Microsoft selling my data to 3rd parties. I don’t want an AI “assistant” watching everything I do. I don’t want crazy right wing conspiracy theory news stories in my start menu, or popping up next to the clock or wherever that junk lives. I don’t want my start menu to do an internet search. Or to try and get me to play candy crush. If I want a dropbox like service I’ll research my options. Don’t auto install onedrive and make it start automatically at boot.

None of that stuff is a core component. The only reason any of that stuff is part of windows is because windows is a mature product. And all their desperate product managers need to add stupid features to windows to justify getting promoted.

Maybe I’m just old fashioned, but I don’t use windows because I want to be part of Microsoft’s software empire. I just want an OS that boots fast and lets me play video games. I don’t buy ram from the computer store so some tasteless bozo at Microsoft can justify their 6 figure salary.
This novel concept should have a catchy name…
For many tasks that neural networks can solve, there are traditional algorithms that are more compact (lines of source code vs size of neural network parameters), but they are not always faster and often produce results of lower quality. For a fair comparison, you have to compare the quality of result together with the computation time, which is not straightforward since those are two competing goals. That being said, neural networks perform quite well for two reasons:

1. They can produce approximate solutions which are often good enough in practice and faster than exact algorithmic solutions.

2. Neural networks benefit from billions of dollars of research into how to make them run faster, so even if they technically require more TFLOPs to compute, they are still faster than traditional algorithms that are not extremely well optimized.

Lastly, development time is also important. It is much easier to train a neural network on some large dataset than to come up with an algorithm that works for all kinds of edge cases. To be fair, neural networks might fail catastrophically when they encounter data that they have not been trained on, but maybe it is possible to collect more training data for this specific case.

I have not discussed any methods to compress and simplify already trained models here (model distillation, quantization, pruning, low-rank approximation, and probably many more that I've forgotten), but they all tip the scales in favor of neural networks.
Busy reading this and it's great so far. One comment, you've referenced "tree shaking" a few times without explaining what it is. I think I know but it might help others to explain that before your reference it.

3. 10 years from publishing, then public domain afterwards. The content must be commercialised to have copyright; if it's available for free, it should already be public domain, because copyright is supposed to help you make money, not help you control the use of information.
Windows, after 98SP2 and XP it just became absolutely untenable. (it started during XP already) Any pre-installed version was rife with junk one just wanted to get rid of. What still remains to this day, the inexplicable slowdown between a fresh install and a couple of months down the road, at boot time processes which keep writing to hd choking the os for tens of minutes, restore point hell, ... anti-virus which guaranteed ruins your OS ... software that somehow gets installed out of nowhere ... a printer completely impossible to install, then there's the 600mb HP printer software you need to install ... the endless dialog questions you are bombarded with at random times ... I think many people accept this as normal, part of how things are. I switched to Linux and it stays out of my way. I do recognize that some of its configs are difficult for the non-experienced user, however on the flip side you can actually do fixes yourself. Its comparable to someone who can work on his/her own car. YMMV.
Heroism is not a culture problem. Heroism is always a good thing. But process weenies like to knock it because it makes them seem grown up and sober.

The point the author wants to make can be made without denigrating the glorious matter of a person who is willing to overcome adversity to and ambiguity and chaos to do something wonderful.

When process mavens attack heroism, they are essentially saying that high performance and creative solutions should be an algorithm, a mechanism, something inhuman rather than fully human. They want the business to be an equation, and that should offend us, not comfort us.

By all means let’s do something to make innovation reasonably acceptable and not unreasonably expensive— but no organization should lightly enter into highly speculative work. Heroism is heroic partly because it’s also dangerous. There are good reasons to discourage it and good reasons to engage in it. Heroism is fraught— but it’s essential to any kind of technical work, since we are surrounded by obscure, “wicked” problems.

A good organization will reward heroism that doesn’t have a happy ending, as long as it was responsibly and competently pursued.

Most of my thinking is not in language, though I do sometimes talk to myself in my head. If someone asks me what I'm thinking or feeling, it sometimes takes great effort to translate it into words; and when I do attempt to express it I often feel the words are pretty inadequate. Like encoding a high-res image into a few pixels, or music into a few notes. Super interesting topic indeed.

The issue is the people switching are the kinds of people who set up family computers and recommend things to others. So there is this huge hidden knock on effect of people going from pro-windows to nutrual or recommending a different os.
