Yeah if you're leaning towards someone playing older rule sets or OSR, you're definitely going to find it to be rare. I have never seen tables with that overlap (very in-person roleplay heavy + older style rulesets) personally.
What about LOWERING taxes on productive activities (e.g. making things) and RAISING taxes on asset acquisition (e.g. buying up real-estate, land)?

And no more QE for asset acquisition, only for productive activities.
Swift does not use virtual machine and garbage collection, it competes more to c++ and rust and if Apple is serious about pushing it cross platform that's definitely a welcome move, in fact, I can't wait even though I have never programmed in swift. the main point is that, it's memory safe, and seems much easier to code than rust.
The question isn't the "hey what's the first description that comes to mind?" The question is why people on HN are mocking the idea that saving HUGE_NUMBER*B is a bad investment just because there is some other A satisfying A > B.
> plus all the second order effects like kids being medicated/treated that wouldn't necessarily need or want it

This is the problem I have with ASD voices.

I'll give you a simple example of a treatment my kid does not want. We do occupational therapy and part of it is building up a tolerance to brushing their teeth.

Do you think we should stop this therapy because the kid doesn't want it or it's recommended by Autism Speaks?

ASD voice are valuable, but they are often far to binary in their recommendations and crusades. It's not an all or nothing thing and frankly the individual matters a lot more than these activists ever seem to want to acknowledge.

How so?

ARM (ISA) doesn't imply performance characteristics nor significant advantage over x86
Besides all the nice answers given by others, a big one was not mentioned: performance!

Graal can do pretty advanced JIT-compilation for any Graal language, plus you can mix-and-match languages (with a big chunk of their ecosystems) and it will actually compile across language boundaries. And we haven’t even mentioned Java’s state of the art GCs that can run circles around any tracing GC, let alone the very low throughput reference counting.

Swift throws are results, but now with specific and generic and specializable types.

To illustrate, Swift has a nice `rethrows` feature that helps with function composition.

If your function takes a function parameter that can throw, it can use 'rethrows' to say "I only throw if this parameter does". Then when passed a function that doesn't throw, your function need not be invoked with `try`.

This plays nicely with generics over throwing type, since the bounds propagate back to the function type. If the function parameter only throws a given type, that's what the function will throw.

Also helpful for reducing error boilerplate, `try` has the convenience form `try?` which means "just swallow the exception and return nil", and applies to a whole chain: `let f = try? this() ?? that() ?? "skip"` means f will be the result of either (throwing) function or a literal otherwise.

Something along these lines is my guess. Focus on the batteries. You can replace individual cells with explosives and cause the remaining cells to overheat to start the explosion.

Most battery packs have integrated power management chips, so you could focus on modifying the battery firmware.

You could have another component send a message to the power management controller to trigger it.

You could also use the power controller's internal current sensor and clock to watch for a device event (power draw from the screen at a certain time or the power profile for a specific set of CPU instructions), giving you means to trigger it without modifying any other part of the device.
Yes of course it does
My ‘of course’ to @ColinWright was intended to be tongue in cheek playful, and not presume anything. But I accept it might come off a different way than I intended.

I think (like with others in this subthread) that I have mislead you or am being misunderstood or both. I’m familiar with the feeling of stupidity in math, and I’d agree that it’s useful when/if harnessed. I’m calling the process of accepting it and dealing with it “curiosity”, partly since if curiosity is missing then people tend to feel shame and anxiety with their stupidity and tend to avoid math and give up on learning it.

I don’t believe there is such a thing as right and wrong here. I’m making a point of view framing distinction, not disagreeing with the article or the quote in the article. I think that “stupidity” isn’t the best word choice in general, even though it might work for math researchers in this case. That word comes with many overloaded and negative meanings that aren’t accurate to what the article is really trying to say.

Your definition of hack differs from mine. This is hack in every sense of the word: supply chain hack, signals hack, and more...

Beware, this article has a significant number of technical errors, e.g.:

- Intel 8088

"8/16-bit microprocessor — 8-bit registers with a 16-bit data bus."

(it's the other way round - and why is the 8086 not mentioned here?)

- Motorola 68k

"Atari and Commodore use this chip architecture"

Not at the time the Mac was developed

"Prior supplier relationship with Motorola through the Apple I, Apple II"

While the Apple I could also use a Motorola 6800 instead of a 6502, this was quite uncommon

I also think the "totally-not-stolen graphical user interface" comment is not a good idea in the context of this article, especially without further information (the text links to an article about Xerox).

> We all remember the pagers running on cellular/2G networks

Who does? I'm not aware of pagers running on the GSM network. Maybe they existed, but I don't think they were ever widespread.
I think systems programming, like system tools or cli tool for example can also be done with a garbage collector e.g. in Go or Ocaml. For low-level development you would usually expect that the program manages memory itself, not some garbage collector. This is not black and white, some approaches of reference counting for example might be suitable for some low-level development. Or in some languages you can choose like Nim, D or if I understand correctly, now in Swift ?
> You should know that most of the north of Israel have been evacuated for months due to Hezbollah fire. They rain dozens to hundreds of missiles on Israel every day, for almost an entire year now.

The bombing of a playground in Israel that killed children in July are tragic [0]. De-escalation should be a priority for all parties involved.

But, we need to acknowledge that both sides have engaged in attacks that have resulted in civilian casualties and widespread displacement.

According to recent data on cross-border attacks between Israel and Lebanon from October 2023 to June 2024 [1]:

Nice, I've wanted exactly this service.

Though I do question if it's good that I want this service. Part of the draw that HN has for me is that it's very much not a social media website in the modern sense. It's a service I come to, it doesn't come to me; I have control over the relationship and dictate when interactions start and end. It lacks the addictive qualities in other sites and has no way to pull you back in after the fact.

This tool lets HN reach out to me, like I as a monkey have come to expect and want from the social media platforms that keep me entertained for as long as possible. I'm not sure how I feel about that.
Can you name any USA politicians currently lauding this?
> We know parents want to feel confident that their teens can use social media to connect with their friends and explore their interests, without having to worry about unsafe or inappropriate experiences.

Or how to ignore the fact that the problem with social media is not harmful content, it's the social media itself. The addiction, the loss of time, and the constant comparison with others. Go design a social media without those.
I want to know more about the economics of it. How much does this Tesla semi cost, and how much does a regular class 8 semi cost?

A back of the envelope calculation says you save a dollar for every 3.1 miles the Tesla semi drives, given current diesel prices and electric prices. But idk if these would have the same prices for electricity or not. If Tesla was smart they’d build out fast charging stations for semis to guarantee a low price.

I guess the other question is distance. If they truly get 1000 miles of range that’s 15 hours of driving which I assume is enough but I know nothing about trucking. It is probably lower if they tow a heavier load.
“ The obvious loss is to government revenue, but the more subtle and still very real loss is the diversion of high-powered talent from what could have been gains in efficiency and productivity to focus instead on corporate reorganizations and tax evasion games.”

I’d expect very little overlap between those talent pools.

You can't compile for Linux from XCode (defacto IDE for all things Apple) and all web dev runs on linux.

If you like having an IDE instead of scrolling multi-page compiler error dumps in your terminal window - this is a complete non-starter.

The leading Swift web framework (Vapor) suggests you use Docker to build for Linux. I gave it an honest try - their empty starter 'hello world' web server takes more than a minute to compile. Ok, but surely it'll be faster after I make a one liner change? No - their docker workflow has 0 compiler caching - you'll be waiting more than a minute every time.

Complete non-starter.

I ended up installing a VM, installing the swift compiler and that only takes 2-3 seconds to re-compile a 1 liner change (in a print statement, in an empty project, lol). Consider me very deeply unimpressed.

By comparison - a visual studio code + docker + python/ruby/javascript setup is a well oiled, working machine.

I don’t think they’re saying you’d need to change the chemistry though, they’re saying they could have altered way it was packaged so that when it started burning there was nowhere for the gas to go.

Similar to how firecrackers work. If you take a firecracker apart and light the powder, you’ll get a flash and a lot of smoke, but no bang. The explosion comes from the pressure building up in an enclosure.

Disclaimer: not a chemist. Just a former unwisely curious kid
I was an uncool outcast in school. Now, the "cool kids" from my high school bag my groceries when I go shopping. Social pressure is what got them to where they are. Not succumbing to it is what got me to where I am. I am OK with my kids hating me for now. They'll thank me when they can afford things they want while the former "cool kids" waste their lives bagging cabbage.
We already have a good sense of what SoC Nintendo will likely be going with for the Switch 2.

Being so dismissive of the Switch shows the disconnect between what most gamers care about, and what some tech enthusiasts think gamers care about.

The Switch 1 used a crappy mobile chip, sure, but it was able to run tons of games that no other Tegra device could have dreamed of running, due to the power of having a stable target for optimization, with sufficiently powerful APIs available, and a huge target market. The Switch 1 can do 90% of what a Steam Deck can, while using a fraction of the power, thickness, and cooling. With the Switch 2 almost certainly gaining DLSS, I fully expect the Switch 2 to run circles around the Steam Deck, even without a “high end chip”. It will be weaker on paper, but that won’t matter.

I say this as someone who owns a PS5, a Switch OLED, an ROG Ally, and a fairly decent gaming PC. I briefly had an original Steam Deck, but the screen was atrocious.

Most people I see talking about Steam Deck’s awesomeness seem to either have very little experience with a Switch, or just have a lot of disdain for Nintendo. Yes, having access to Steam games is cool… but hauling around a massive device with short battery life is not cool to most gamers, and neither is spending forever tweaking settings just to get something that’s marginally better than the Switch 1 can do out of the box.

The Switch 1 is at the end of its life right now, but Nintendo is certainly preparing the hardware for the next 6 to 8 years.

Me: Hi, can you use the concept "bridge" in a
never-seen-before sentence, where it still makes
sense? Please make the sentence very unusual,
but still coherent. Perhaps a couple of examples?

ChatGPT: Sure! Here are a couple of unusual but coherent
sentences using the concept of "bridge":

The stars whispered their ancient stories across the
sky, building a bridge of forgotten time between my
dreams and the universe’s memories.

Each thought she left unspoken laid a ghostly bridge
between us, invisible but weighty, made of all the
words that could have been.

Both sentences play with abstract ideas, pushing the
concept of a bridge beyond its typical use but
maintaining coherence through metaphor and vivid
imagery.

It's impossible for me to know everything in the training set but there are no Google results for "building a bridge of forgotten time" or "laid a ghostly bridge between us". If you told me those and said you made them up and didn't copy them from somewhere, I'd have to either find the source you copied or believe you.

Hezbollah didn't exist in 1970s. It was founded in 1982

Like the famous quote said "We make peace with our enemies, not our friends" (I can't recall the source) - what is lacking here is diplomacy.

To repeat - Israel's invasion of Lebanon in 1980s was the catalyst for Hezbollah's rise. While they curbed PLO they created a more formidable adversary.

It seems like you're making a big, unjustified leap from: "people don't always do the right thing" to "right and wrong don't matter and are not worth discussing."

Edit:
OK, I'll unpack: your points about Foxconn and modern-day slavery don't seem to establish anything other than that people don't always act according to their moral judgments. But that doesn't demonstrate that right or wrong don't matter and are not worth being discussed. (Or, in your words: "Who cares what is right or wrong?") For one thing, moral judgments could have attenuated, but still significant, effect on peoples' behavior. Or, it could be worth discussing for reasons other than its effect on peoples behavior.

I hoped it would be understood that the quotation marks aren't intended to be interpreted as literally quoting your statements but, rather, are just a way of referring to two different propositions, the first of which is the one actually supported by the evidence that you cite and the latter of which seems to be the one you're espousing.

Kotlin isn't bad, but having written plenty of both it and Swift, I'd rather write Swift if I had the choice. Their syntaxes share a lot of similarities, but subjectively I find that Kotlin is less ergonomic, not as conducive to code that reads smoothly, and is finicky about odd details in comparison. I'll take SPM over Gradle any day too.

On the more minor side of things, Swift's built in JSON serialization is super handy. It's really nice to not have to increment the dependency counter to parse JSON and makes spinning up projects that much faster.
Exactly. I also have a 6-year old child with severe autism. He's a really happy and playful child, he actually makes good eye contact, especially when having fun, enjoys hiking and swimming, and loves affection. But he simply cannot communicate effectively, either with words (which is a mixture of jargon and echolalia, though he's definitely starting to read words!) or an AAC device. He has great balance and likes climbing and playing on playgrounds, but he can't tie his shoes or use a pencil/pen or a lot of other fine-motor skills. If there were a "cure", we'd take it - it would absolutely make his life better! But that's highly unlikely, so we are getting him as much therapy as we can, and hope that he can have enough independence after we're gone to continue to have a happy life.
