I’m not trying to be disingenuous, we simply have different opinions about the definition of inflation. Honestly I have not heard that inflation is just the increase in money supply before. With us having different definitions we are clearly talking at cross purposes here.

Inflation is a long term measurement, short term events like a hurricane causing supply shocks can all add up to impact the rate of inflation over time but individually it doesn’t. It is fair to not count month to month fluctuations so I will give you that.

This is probably where most pro/anti crypto people break down in communication is us not using words the same way. You taught me a new definition of inflation today, I don’t think that’s right, but since we were using words differently that explains our disagreement.
Personally I don't see why we should treat browser/web vulnerabilities that are being abused for tracking any different than every other security vulnerability... apart from the discussion being warped by Doubleclick pumping out new browser vulnerabilities, baking them into web standards, and marketing them as "features" to be rapidly adopted.
Only for a few years until they come up with same shit but with a different name. Take a look at the presumably "dead" Palladium initiative and consider how much of it we're actually been subjected to now in our computing.
This sounds like they're unlocking battery reserve capacity to be freely usable.

NMC batteries wear out quicker if they're fully discharged or kept fully charged, so automakers typically keep extra 3-5% of the battery hidden from the user to prolong the battery life (sort of like extra cells in SSDs).

If the unlock doesn't shorten the battery warranty, then it may be justified to charge for it.
In this hypothetical, the infinitely intelligent super AI, knowing that what it says must not be acted upon, could say the exact right thing so as to get you to do the thing that it really wanted you to do anyway. I'm thinking of that scene in Doctor Who where the Doctor says a couple of words and takes down the Prime Minister with six words.

I don't like the name, but "bush meat" is also a common vector for past infections. I believe HIV was thought to have transferred to humans via non-farmed simian blood.
It took me a while to realize that there is a "prev" and a "next" button next to every comment. It makes navigation much easier when there are long threads. Using [-]/[+] is another option.

If the problem is just the sheer amount of data and not navigation, you can simply bookmark the thread and come back later. The algorithm usually does a good job getting the best comments on top after things have settled down, just read these. Plus, if you forget about the topic and don't come back to it, maybe it wasn't that interesting after all, that's a good filter.
I wish this opinion was more widespread. The amount of time I have wasted building API + SPA when just sending HTML back and forth would have been entirely sufficient must be ridiculous
That demo is really impressive. It's click, scroll, click to get to it though. I'd make it a big button on the main page with marketing copy around it.

Bonus points for also buying https://webcontainer.io/ (no s) and pointing it at the right place.

I would reckon most people in Europe could recognize a robin based on Christmas cards alone.
I can't speak to CUDA or GPUs as I've never had a reason to use either. Perhaps we've finally left the land of the PDP.
Similar, though not the same, in background as to why herring and licorice are banned in the USA.

When a young country and barely able to wrestle independence, it was feared the British would team up with Scandinavian forces (a large portion of immigrants to North Americas were Scandinavian) while being worn thin by also battling Napoleon. By banning traditional foods such as herring, licorice and even black pudding and haggis, any potential pre-invasion force of saboteurs and partisans would complain about only having hamburgers and bad pizza to eat and thus be discovered.
It's a neat trick, but I think a linked list (with the very specific layout where nodes are allocated in order) is the only situation where this trick could possibly be useful?

And I think it only works if Spectre mitigations are disabled anyway?

What the trick does is replace sequential fetches (where each fetch address depends on the result of the previous fetch because, well, linked lists) with parallel fetches. It takes the minimum fetch-to-fetch latency from a L1 cache hit (roughly 3 cycles IIRC) to a cycle or less (most CPUs can do multiple parallel fetches per cycle).

If your data is stored in a vector or a B-tree, accesses are already parallel by default and you'll never need this trick.
As a developer in a corporation, yes, the software I develop runs on Linux servers. But we don't develop in the server - my work computer is a "desktop with packaged software" and as such runs Windows.
It's quite easy, as long as you have threading, quoting and read/unread flags equivalent to 1990 Usenet.
Fair enough, I did not think about the IaC space when I wrote the comment. And I can absolutely see how a blame could take you to commits from a few years back.

I was only thinking about the application code space where elaborate code comments are definitely more common.
I’ve read the “mysteries” book too, and would recommend. I think it’s the first book from Waterson since stopping Calvin and Hobbs.

It’s quite different from Calvin and Hobbs, heavier but really thought provoking. I found myself thinking about the story after the fact.
This is the first time I've come into a crypto thread on HN and the pro-crypto people seem to outnumber the anti-crypto people.

Is there a vibe shift happening on HN?
Ranking risks from more to less likely,

1. An expected development of this sort of political message is blocking access to the tool's website to users from some countries, either by the website owners or by the relevant authorities.

2. Wiping people's files as part of open-source-as-political-message is less common, but not unheard of: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/big-sabotage-...

3. Using or even advertising Notepad++ in Russia is probably not dangerous yet. Don't know about China.
There are multiple levels of cultural borrowing here, as Honkai is a Chinese game heavily borrowing Japanese ACG aesthetics (so the target audience is mostly not Japanese, but rather Chinese and other foreigners who like that look).

And just like the blue robin, the name "Honkai" is not exactly Japanese: 崩壊 would be transliterated "houkai"; the "n" might be an attempt to make it more similar to the Chinese pronunciation "bēnghuài".
This is what we have resorted to in my team. It was just too difficult to get everyone to keep good commit hygiene and follow a best practice like conventional commits.
Calvin and Hobbes was extremely mainstream. It only stopped being so because the creator stopped creating content for it.

Spider-Man, for all its merchandising and marketing, doesn't have people chasing down old content in dying formats. It is supported by new content in modern formats.

Evey time I've tried essentially journaling for my own sanity I get too bogged down in the way to actually do it. Logseq and Obsidian are often mentione but by the time I've figured out how the hell to use thier obscure syntax (why the hell am I programming, its a journal) I've lost interest.

I'd like for there to be an out of the box option, but there doesnt seem to be any. When you bring this up in discussions like this it often ends up just proving the point when someone tells you "Oh its easy just install X and then add this plugin, that plugin, tweak this file to do such and such...and my adhd brain lost interest.

There's a real hole in the market for a good out of the box, opensource and self hoated tool that you open the app and write tool, not a note pad, we've all got one of those, I'm talking about somethinh you open, you've got your current day to dump notes into and and they're stored. Sure, theres tools like DayOne, but it's cloud based storage is a catagorical no for me, and many others - theres been countless discussions about this on Reddit, and the answer is always spend half a day screwing around with Logseq or Obsidian and then try to remember their syntax.

The out of the box on both of those is pretty awful, and if the solution is spending hours tweaking it it's not really a solution, its a patch, one that shouldn't really need to be made if it's supposed to be the tool to use.
My uncle died of CO poisoning when exhaust from his generator leaked through a vent into the house. Coma, multiple organ damage, brain legions, then death. Horrible way to go.

A CO detector would have saved him.

Fascinating history - thanks for sharing!
I would do something similar to the Joel Test.

1. Can employees apply for sick leave without evidence?

2. Is more than 90% of annual leave approved?

3. Do you allow paternity leave?

4. Is it okay for the median employee to ignore questions after sundown, before sunrise, or on weekends and public holidays?

5. Are people "on call" for less than half the month?

6. Does the median employee commute less than 15 hours a week?

7. If laid off, is the median employee given enough compensation to cover for the interview period when hiring? e.g. if living costs are $10k per month, and the average employee interviews for 4 months, the compensation should be at least $40k.

The reason for this is because sometimes people have to stay within certain lines. Like some people prefer working at night or weekends. Some jobs are late night shifts; someone has to take care of the satellites at night too. So sometimes it's okay, this is the norm.

But I think there are clear lines that everyone agrees on. If you're scoring less than a 4 on this, maybe you have low work-life balance.
We are also only using it because of GDPR requirements of not transferring data outside of the EU. The slowdown is huge, preventing any chat use-case where users will get bored waiting for a 10 second response to trickle through.

That OpenAI themselves aren't spinning up a data center in the EU is beyond strange for me. The only thing I can imagine is that if this is stopped by some legal provision as part of Microsoft investing, but it has clearly not worked well for OpenAI which now has to deal with Microsoft's shitty delivery of a subpar OpenAI-branded service for EU customers.

We're currently using the swedish region btw, where model updates have been quite fast (weeks after official launch). Still, the slow response times makes them non-viable anyways...
I think you need to have a clear separation on what you're trying to achieve. From what you've written, I get the sense that you're combining documentation, wiki and your personal notes together.

For example, code documentation is very subjective. I'd combine code comments with readmes and potentially a separate wiki. All depending on the complexity of it.

For personal notes like reminders or thoughts, there's no need to keep it up to date. It's ordered by date. And when I need it, I roughly remember when I wrote it. If something needs to be updated? Write a new entry today. I use pen and paper for this. This is also where I sketch one-off diagrams and the like.

Separately, I also have a personal wiki for things I learn or teach among other things. Since these are limited in numbers and are quite important, keeping them up to date is not a big task
I have read these kind of stories many times but I'm starting to realize how much the relative engineering success of MacOS 8 and 9 is overlooked with the now "classic" storytelling centered around Jobs and his comeback. Mac OS 10 was not really usable until 10.1 in 2001, yet the iMac, iBook and PowerBook G3 were successes, so the OS obviously played a role, but reading these stories it's kind of absent.

My memories are surely tainted by nostalgia because 1997-2001 I was a teen and avid Mac user but from what I remember between the mid-90s Performa on 7.5 and late 90s iMac on 9 it felt like a lot happened. While not the future, as an end user 8.6/9 felt relatively modern, especially compared to Windows 95/98. And even in the mid-90s even if from a business POV the future was bleak for Apple from an end user one 7.5 was not really worst than 95.

> Those type hints are not used at runtime for performance.

This is not a requirement for a language to be statically typed. Static typing is about catching type errors before the code is run.

> Type hint a var as a string then set it to an int, that code still gonna try to execute.

But it will fail type checking, no?

Even if this is useful, it just means becoming more dependent on AI, which overrides any benefit in my opinion. Also, it seems like putting AI in a title is just a new way to get clicks.
Okay, now you're just being disingenuous. There is plenty of actual evidence and a timeline of events in the linked article, and that's not what "Gish gallop" means.
The Nobel is famously not awarded posthumously. There are many examples of two or more cofounders where one is not awarded the Nobel due to having died.

I am fan of curated lists. I very like awesome lists on github.
Transportation cards also no longer necessary.

It means you can leave your wallet at home, no longer have a wallet (cash no longer status quo), or only have your ID with you (since loyalty cards are also in app on smartphone). Though even for ID I have an app.

You say first world problems, but OTOH when you go sport or in summer without many clothes the weight matters.

Like many things in Software the question is why do you want to hide them?

One way to do it is to archive[0] it which will move it into a local _archive file.

Another way which I'm currently using is to periodically manually archive tasks into a tree of folders and files by date then category (and sometimes subcategory) which allows me to publish an HTML or PDF file of everything from say 2023 for a particular client.

In just the past few days it has been reported there is a surge of influence campaigns, recruitment of saboteurs, assassination plots, hacking attacks, etc. by Russia on the EU and US.

This is why disinformation is created and spread. It has a purpose. It comes from existential adversaries. Take it seriously. If you do, and you think countermeasures are not needed, you have made a choice.
This book should be the second or maybe third step of your journey into PL compilers.

The first step is to write an interpreter yourself, for a simple language you create, without knowing anything about interpreters or language design. The second step is to rewrite it, and make less mistakes! :)

If you don't do this, you are never going to appreciate the nuances of this topic. And you are going to skip over concepts that don't seem important.

That was my trick for Obsidian. No organization or fancy plugins, just interlinked notes. Backlinks alone work amazingly well for me for retrieval.

Well, he just ended that strawman's whole career.

All the people advocating that we should tax wealth and then all retire on the proceeds have been shown to be wrong, assuming any of them exist.
Archive is an option, it'll move the heading and children into a new file. Agenda can also find and filter by state.

Perhaps to clarify: hide from where?

Thoughtfully emacs and git are both approved.
The reality of elder care is that (especially) infirm old folks really need a lot of hard, difficult, unpleasant care that our economic system has made basically impossible for their children and extended families to perform, as would have probably been done in the past. This requirement isn’t going to go away. There will be no cheap, safe, efficient butt-wiping robot, and unmotivated, uninvolved third parties are going to keep doing lousy jobs and getting old folks hurt. Technology is not going to make much of a dent in this one.
Talking about cov1 not cov2
Sometimes I really wish I didn't brick my OnePlus X, it was a good and simple device. Perfect for a spare fallback phone or a main one acting like a dumb-ish phone with QoL smart features (like camera, navigation, bank apps, music, totp...)

(I bricked it because some bootloader flash part had a stupidly low write limit, and I burned them by updating the bootloader one time too many)

Also loved my BB Z10, I wish it could have been community-maintained in some way (either BB liberating the OS or someone hacking Android onto it)
It scales well enough. You can apparently run Souper on SQLite in 24 hours with a beefy machine, according to a talk I recently attended, by one of the developers.
But someone already wrote about it
> However, I organize files by day, not by task. Each day I create a new file for the day by copying the lists of the previous day's file minus the DONE list. I don't modify lists for previous days, so it's kind of an append-only log so I can see what was the state for any particular day. 1 file per day is easy to see as a whole as it mostly fits in one screen (and inside my working memory). I use plain text files because I found it much simpler to use, I don't have to install any software, it just works, and it's easily searchable.

For my working files I use a similar system except I separate at least Months, often Weeks, and sometimes Days into subheadings for easy time tracking of tasks on various time partitions.

So when I need to start a new heading for a new day, I just move all the incomplete TODO items into it, similar to you moving them into a new file.

Occasionally I manually archive the completed tasks into files by year with headings by month only when I no longer need their full granularity.
Some of the best literature ever written isn't very "important" (although, I think you're greatly underestimating Calvin & Hobbes's influence)

Secondly, I also question the influence of Bob Dylan. There's no indication that he was anything but a reflection of the political turmoil at the time. He was just a poet with some banger turns of phrase. I also found his emotional distance to the actual politics to be rather distasteful (compared to, say, 2pac's first album, Joey Bada$$'s "all amerikkkan badass", and like half of Kendrick Lamar's work, many varied feminist artists now like Mitski & Laufey, the anti-war influence on the then Dixie Chicks, now the Chicks... i'm sure you could come up with thousands of artists with more to say than bob dylan).

C&H's political expression speaks much more to the absurdity of the values and habits that entrench themselves by adulthood, and help us question which of these are meaningful, rational, and necessary. A different sort of politics for sure, but one that is certainly relevant to most households across the country. Most of the political angst that comes through the adults in the form of disgust with cultures of consumption and commodification, the absurdity of a biker pitted against car, the joy of giving an F-15 to a trex rather than a modern state, are no less salient today.

Works really well on mobile. Nice job
I don't find this convincing at all.

Pandemics need high population densities to start, so it is very likely to have the origin in a large city. Even if a virus did emerge in a smaller city, it would probably fizzle out without raising alarm and being detected. At the same time, large cities in industrialized countries usually have at least one virology lab. I could easily find one in each of the top-10 most populous Chinese cities (which includes Wuhan). SARS is relatively new and hit China pretty hard, so it is also not surprising to have a lot of research in the country. Overall, it would probably be more surprising not to have a SARS research group close to the origin of a pandemic.

The lab worker story is bunk. According to the institute itself, no COVID antibodies were found in a serology study of the workers (see page 119 in https://www.who.int/docs/default-source/coronaviruse/final-j...).
From the newspaper article: "I'll never go to India, I don't like to see people sleeping in the streets"

That feels like a Maxwell's Demon kind of infinitely intelligent to me.

I recognise this might be a failure of imagination on my part, given how many times I've seen other people say "no AI can possibly do XYZ" even when an AI has already done XYZ — but based on what I see, it's extrapolating beyond what I am comfortable anticipating.

The character of The Doctor can be excused here, not only for being fictional, but also for having a time machine and knowing how the universe is supposed to unfold.
