I'm not sure I want that. I would probably trade some less versatile robots that are cheaper and do 90% of the work. I can't afford a million dollars - or even 100k dollars for a robot. Until you get into the $1000 range it is hard to see the value. (maybe $20k at the top end - car makers will hate this though as you are directly competing with cars as the only way most people can get that kind of money is to keep their current car longer)

I love the moral direction, but this sadly doesn’t hold up to philosophical scrutiny. Is it murder to

1. Kill someone who’s about to kill someone?

2. Kill someone in a defensive war to defend your freedoms?

3. Kill someone by prioritizing things other than their medical care, eg in hospice?

4. Kill someone by letting them smoke/drink/overeat?

5. Kill someone by letting them starve?

If you want to say that no country is civilized yet then hey I’m with ya. Otherwise, it’s not quite so simple. The death penalty is a tragic injustice, I agree, but just saying “it’s murder” is not a serious engagement with the issue IMO.
Thanks to AI I don't need to read all those 300,000 words now, right?
There's plenty of evidence. He confessed to his girlfriend, and a cellmate. He pawned the victim's possessions. He was seen disposing of bloody clothes. He already had 15 felony convictions in addition to offenses related to Ms. Gayle's murder: robbery (2), armed criminal action (2), assault (2), burglary (4), stealing (3), stealing a motor vehicle, and unlawful use of a weapon.

Now, as to whether this evidence is solid enough for a death penalty conviction, that's tougher to say. But there's plenty of evidence.
Hey, I'm the dev! Awesome to see it here :)

P5 is definitely what I'd recommend to a lot of people for actually starting to learn to code although I think in coding a game it might fall down the second you want to do collisions as you're going to have to roll all that yourself from scratch.

In 2024 I'd be tempted to say if you want to make games it might even be better to just get started with Unity, Unreal or Godot and YouTube tutorials + AI help might be enough to smooth it out enough.

The absolute basic stuff might be trickier than a system where it's quite easy to draw on a screen in a few lines but the stuff of collisions and beyond are way easier.
Instant Purge: invalidating cached content in under 150ms
I guess retreating from denial to nit-picking is at least some progress.
No. Murder is not the same as killing, just like not all taking is stealing. Even the most civilised society imaginable admits that killing is sometimes acceptable (in self defense, for example). Killing done by the state is trivially not murder by definition, and less trivially there are justifications you can argue about. But you have to argue about it, your "simple logic" is unfortunately too simple.

For their one here it's just the ability to rapidly comment/uncomment conditions in a query editor while exploring the data or debugging the query, and not having to worry about the leading AND or OR.

I've also seen it in code with iterative adds, for example:

for crit in criteria:
sql += " AND " + crit

No needed to add a sentinel or other logic to skip the first AND. I saw it a lot before people got used to " AND ".join(criteria).

My first thought was similar - assuming this is truly forcing websites to implement a “one-click” flow, I’m worried that people will accidentally unsubscribe without an easy way to pick up where they left off. At least an “are you sure?” button would be nice. (Although I hate companies who force me to choose a reason why I’m ending our relationship)
Consider also an online llama as a service like deepinfra. I have a local 3090 for playing around with the smaller models, but it's nice having the option of calling the 405b.
The nice thing about Nintendo is, they are one of those companies who are willing to try something entirely different and new. Sometimes they fail spectacularly, but often enough they have success and definitely have brought a lot of nice and cool stuff to gaming. It is quite exciting to hear that they have something entirely new in the pipeline.
I don’t really care think there is a general case for all servers.

For the minimal case you don’t need it, but in production (with a single host) it allows for rolling releases, compression, TLS, fast static file serving, potentially A/B testing capabilities.

The layer of indirection between the request and your server can be very useful.

One of the best books I've read on this was "Board Game Design Advice: From the Best in the World" by Gabe Barrett of https://boardgamedesignlab.com/ (which is a great designer resource on its own). There's an audio version as well. What's good about the book is it's advice from pro (some very successful) game designers on how they handle failure and ideas that don't work. Until that point, I felt alone in my failures and discouragement. It really helped to hear it's a struggle for everyone.

Rust has the very strong pro of already existing. If those tools existed, I’m sure the conversation would be quite different.

It’s also not just about memory safety. Greg in particular has recognized how Rust’s type system will be helpful for preventing other kinds of bugs, for example.

I’m paying for jetbrains now. I’m on Linux but it’s clearly a non-native application, which has some issues. Actually it integrates really well considering. I can run in any os and it’s the same. I tried eclipse (free), but the experience wasnt good and it was worth buying jetbrains software. This probably has a quite polished experience.

> surprisingly rightwing

If I try to put it into (very reductive) descriptive terms, I might say that the "left" puts more emphasis on the fact that people are victims of circumstances, while the "right" puts more emphasis on the idea that everyone's the architect of their own destiny.

Both of these perspectives are correct to some extent - you could argue about it endlessly, from a philosophical point of view. But it's maybe also not that surprising that people who are (to some extent) aligned with a hacker ethos and have had success in life by working on hard problems would find that second point of view much more enticing - after all, it's much more satisfying to think that your success is due to your own virtue than due to your luck (when it the end, it may very well be both).

There are of course also sometimes elements of hypocrisy in it, in situations where HN users feel they have less agency. While there is a strong (though definitely not unchallenged) sentiment among a segment of the userbase that companies should do whatever they want when it comes to their products and business practices, you very rarely see that same sentiment applied when it comes to things that affect developers in their daily work, such as home office, meetings, Scrum, etc.

To my European eye I'm curious why those who have ordered and those who have executed the wrongfully convicted prisoner, despite the evidence, are not arrested for aggravated murder... It's simple: they have choose, they are responsible for an homicide PERIOD.
The point is to distinguish between an act that is immoral in and of itself and one that is immoral because we aren't sufficiently smart/honorable/efficient. This informs the argument - in the latter case killing could be permissible if only we become more advanced - in the former case it would never be permissible.

Show HN: Coros – A Modern C++ Library for Task Parallelism
Hello Hacker News.

I’m Martin, a graduate student from Prague, and I’ve been working on Coros, a C++ library for task-based parallelism.

After spending some time with OpenMP and oneTBB, I wanted to try building a library using modern features from the C++ standard library. I’ve used coroutines for task encapsulation and C++23 expected for exception handling, while trying to maintain good performance.

Additionally, I’ve implemented monadic-like behavior to allow easy chaining of tasks, similar to the monadic operations in std::expected.

You can check out the project here: https://github.com/mtmucha/coros

While this library isn’t fully-fledged or production-ready, I’d really appreciate your feedback!
If you don't need a big model and are fine with hosting locally, an RTX3060 with 12GB VRAM is going to do just fine. Can be bought for about 200-300 USD.

In this case the prosecutor actively pushed against the execution, arguing that his guilt was no longer beyond a reasonable doubt.

The blame for this lies squarely on the Missouri Supreme Court and Gov. Parson (who has never once granted clemency in a capital case).
If prosecutors are going to be biased either way, I'd prefer a choice in those biases.
Scientism isn’t just a misunderstanding of science- but idolization and worship of it without practicing it… turning it into a sort of religion replacement, which serves some of the same psychological roles- giving them absolute confidence/faith, freedom from anxiety, etc.

I sympathize with the postmodernists and religious people here… and think we’re talking about the same thing- and literally to the same people. Someone is arrogantly dismissing something they’ve spent a lot of time on as nonsense, without really understanding what it is.

The “scientism-ist” says anything they don’t understand is nonsense or a lie, unless it comes from a “scientific authority.”

When I hear about a religious “truth” or similar idea, I don’t dismiss it, but try to understand what it means to them, and what its functional purpose might be. Religious truths are usually literally false- but they are not really factual claims about physical reality in the first place, but methods or psychological tools that are “true” if they work for the intended purpose. If you visualize God for prayer or meditation - you get to a certain internal state… arguing about if you can find physical evidence of this God misses the point entirely. The more intelligent religious people understand this, but don’t talk about it, because doing so makes it not work anymore for the people not able to understand it in a more nuanced way.

I don’t agree that what they are talking about cannot be understood scientifically in principle- but I may agree our current understanding is too primitive, and not yet able to do so in a useful way… whereas with scientism it is either already understood by an authority- or else there is nothing of value to be understood- anything new or different is just false. Scientism admits no limits to our current understanding, nor to any possibility of future discovery other than a hypocritical lip service to supporting “research funding” or whatever.

On a personal level I can accept that regular obnoxious religious zealots exist and just avoid them… but it really irks me when they are telling me that they are the real scientists and I am not, when it is what I have decided my life to.
No, they switched to per-hour billing for their dedicated servers a while ago. I also tested this last week when I cancelled a dedicated server we had with them and they did indeed only charge for part of the month.
"LLMs do not have persistent memory. OpenAI does"

The LLM we are discussing here does have persistent memory, because OpenAI gave it persistent memory.

"It's literally the same thing as running a random .exe from the internet"

I'm not sure what the point is you're making with that, since downloading a random .exe from the Internet is clearly a security issue. By your own analogy, this is also a security issue. The difference is that OpenAI is doing it for you, you're just using OpenAI's program in the way it was intended to be used.

Sure, let us know when you are ready.

None of this explains the car ban. Yeah, make cites more walkable. That's just logical. These wannabe rural areas we call cities today are hilariously nonsensical. But you don't need to ban cars to get there. And if we hypothetically assume for the sake of discussion that you do need to ban cars to get there, then exempting taxis won't help as people will simply replace their personal vehicle use with taxis, negating the hypothetical pressure to change.

If someone wants to own a car for their once a month trip, who cares? It is not cars in a garage that is bothersome with respect to the topic at hand.

Thanks for the list. To me, the watershed moment was when I was trying to implement my minimalistic neural network.

Even for tailwind, I've only ever found it really helpful in react projects. Styling in react has always been a pain, and the recent(ish) solution of CSS-on-JS is a horrible solution in my opinion.

Tailwind was designed specifically to solve styling in react so this does make sense, but as soon as you enter the space of wanting more simple tech that has been stable for years you're throwing out react and might as well throw out tailwind as well, it just isn't needed when CSS is back on the table.

Edit: I should have also included here that there is also absolutely nothing wrong with using Tailwind if that's where you are most productive. We're long passed the days of tailwind shipping unused piles of utility classes, shipping is plenty important if that's where your productivity is.

There are no decent memory safety tools for C. Could they be theoretically created? Perhaps, I doubt it considering the amount of money flowing in this industry. To solve it you really have to design a new language. Which is exactly what happened it's called Rust.

Kernel devs should just put on their big boy pants and go with the times. C is simply not the right tool for the job anymore for a lot/most kernel work.

I don't see the causal dependency between these things. Could a probe to Europa be sent while still having housing problems in some countries? And could it be sent after having those housing problems addressed? I think the answer to both of those questions is yes. And conversely, can the housing problems be addressed while sending a probe to Europa? And can they be addressed while not sending a probe? Again, i think the answers are both affirmative.

These things don't seem to depend on each other. And different people want to do different things in this world. I don't think that the people who want to help shelter homeless people would be deterred by other people wanting to send a space probe, or vice-versa.

I picked housing from the problems you mentioned just because it was the first one. I think this argument would still apply for the others. The reasons we're having those problems have nothing to do with how many probes we send to space.
These are gone from many markets due to the race to the bottom. They cut the quality out of clothes so they could make more per item without paying attention to the simple fact that quality is what brought people into the store.

At the end, they all sold the same junk sourced from the same places, but with different labels sewn into them. Consumers saw no value in paying a lot extra for something they could get for a lot less somewhere else. Thus, department stores outside of big cities vanished.

The same thing happened to malls. They used to be full of locally owned businesses that offered a variety of goods. Now, they are all the same handful of stores selling the same things you can get for a lot less online. Even worse, nearly all of them offer a low rent experience because there are only a handful of stores left operating in each one. Seeing a building full of dark and closed stores screams economic decay. Who wants that experience?
By this definition, would the telephone network also be the social web given things like chat room PBXes? Or even telegraphs?
The C standard does not reference the stack anywhere.

Depending on optimization level, things can change. Without any optimizations, variables of “automatic storage duration” such as local variables, may get placed on the stack. But with optimizations turned on, they may end up in a register, or even not be stored anywhere, for example if they’re an integer literal that never gets modified after assignment.
> a lot of the comments take a particular political stance about the topic.

And oftentimes, these political stances are US-centric and don't make sense to anyone else, e.g. you might have an article about the efficacy of masks and then you'll read a dozen comments saying that "Fauci lied to us", which is completely irrelevant to anyone not living in the US (if you really wanted to generalise it, you'd have to claim that politicians in most countries lied to their people which IMHO is a much harder sell, but whatever).

Forgive me if i sound excessively negative, but my trust in such big entities that control or heavily influence portions of the internet, is eroding faster and faster with each passing day...and/or i guess i woke up on the wrong side of the bed today? ;-)

There's a difference in being charged a partial amount for the month vs an hourly amount for something you need for just 2 hours.

I have a dedicated machine with Hetzner, and AFAIK they charge me the full amount regardless of whether it's on or off. If I cancel on day 3 of the month, it makes sense to be charged for only those days' hours. However that's different to "turn it on for 6 hours" kind of hourly pricing.
