>The cube I'm "picturing" in front of me, though, has no visual component at all.

Quite because that is not how the brain works, when imagining something we merely instantiate a generic of that class, it has no visual component although it has attributes, some of which may convey a visualization - the cube is red, the cube if oriented in the cavalier elevation, you describe it yourself as being "in front of (you)" in what regard could you consider this to be true even if it were inside of your head?

Through language we have been convinced of something that simply is not true, nobody wilfully hallucinates (internally or otherwise), to be aphantasiac is not to be special but to be aware of one's consciousness in a way that most people seemingly are not.

Of course it is self-diagnosed, even a pathological rubber stamp relies entirely on self-reported symptoms.

Interrogate anyone on the subject of their visual imagination long enough and you'll eventually bump up against inconsistencies or otherwise reluctant admission that they don't "see" anything.

Nope, you've found that somebody alleges that without any proof. There is a difference.
Also the bill was amended NOT to extend liability to derivative models that the training company doesn’t have effective control over.
I’m a person who’s interested in arguments based on reality. Frankly I don’t have a solid opinion on the bill in any particular direction.
True, I am amplifying the point, not disagreeing and maybe could have worded it to make that clearer.

It's pretty common in the US for a name that is traditionally associated with boys become unisex (Taylor) or even prominently female (Lauren). Typically it is an uncommon male name (so not, e.g. John or Brian) that sees a sudden increase in popularity and becomes unisex. Some other examples include Leslie, Casey, Jordan, Morgan, Addison, and Riley. I can't think of any examples of the reverse off the top of my head.

A chart of this phenomenon for Taylor:

So it would seem. Thanks for digging those up.

With vector fonts containing copyrightable code, are you referring to e.g. TrueType hinting, or OpenType shaping (or very avant-gardely, WASM shaping)? I should hope the glyph-drawing instructions don't fall under this definition of code, because that'd maybe mean SVG `path`s are copyrightable...
True, slap a price on it. I'm sure people here get enough utility out of VSCode to pay for it.

The problem is when the free offering is actually designed to ensnare you in a tarpit of legal liability and uncapped financial liability. Especially with a service like VSCode where it's not a single purchase and you rely on Microsoft indefinitely (through extensions and updates). But it's designed that way. There's no other option. They chose to not make it simple to avoid a single clean payment, and extract longer term money of ambiguous amount based on user resistance.
I recently switched jobs, and as I've become more comfortable in my new job, I realized that my old job completely sucked the creativity and fun out of programming for me. I did not have any energy for any projects in my spare time while working in my previous job, so the 1,5 months I've been focusing on taking small ideas and running with them.

This weekend I got an idea to create a 2D-pattern from a 1D initial pattern. I put it on https://ige.land/, and I find it very fun and satisfying to play around with. It's not so elegant and pretty, but it's fun for me, and that's all I was looking for! Click any cell to change that color in the pattern. Right click or long press to set the length of the 1D pattern. It's also fun to first create a pattern and then resize the browser window to see how it looks like.

So, what I'm working on is not really an interesting project or product. I'm working on my creativity, playing with code, and in general having more fun with programming. Making it magical for myself again.

I'm not sure if it's 100% in line with the spirit of the thread, but it's what I'm most excited to be working on! :-)

I have poked around with Pernosco, and it's very impressive! I just added a paragraph to the intro of this series about it. Pernosco is so cool!

However, I think it's aiming to solve different bugs than I am usually after. I want a very quick-to-use debugger because I like to step through all my code as I'm writing it to sanity check. It generally just helps me stay focused and make fewer errors (I'm not the most detail-oriented person in the world, and the debugger helps keep me on the rails).

Pernosco/rr are invaluable tools for solving much tougher bugs, but I want a better debugger for the "every-day" sort of stuff as well. Thank you for pushing the state of the art though, Pernosco is jaw-dropping!

I would think you could apply some amount of paper and pencil iteration to most game types, and even if you can’t for action games, that’s fine.

In the context of StS, the specifically were discussing how the mechanics of the Defect character would work. In something more like an action game eg an FPS, you could do something similar with trying out different sets of stats and perks and measuring approximate TTK vs other builds.

I think it works significantly better in a class of third graders. Among other differences, they usually aren't taking notes yet.
Wait sorry, are you under the impression that regulated entities get to “accept” which regulations society imposes on them? Big if true!

Your delusions and lack of nuance shown in this very thread are exactly why people want to regulate this field.

If developers of nuclear technology were making similar arguments, I bet they’d have attracted even more aggressive regulatory attention. Justifiably, too, since people who speak this way can't possibly be trusted to de-risk their own behavior effectively.
European law tends not to like "clever" workarounds. IANAL but I belive you would still be practicing illegal surveillance.
Focusing on reducing emissions is important, but it's only the first step of the plan. If we want to be anywhere near the 2°C scenario, starting from 2050, we need to be sequestering carbon directly from the atmosphere.

So I'm okay with people spending a little effort on step 2 of the plan now, especially given that we don't have yet proven technology to realise it.
This is the ideal, but it's often false in meaningful ways. In several US elections, for example, we've seen audio leaked of politicians promising policies to their donors that would be embarrassing if widely publicly known by the electorate.

This suggests that politicians and donors sometimes collude to deliberately misrepresent their views to the public in order to secure election.
Sounds ludicrous.

I think there are easier and far less restricting ways to have something to blog about.

> 3) a van that you can resell or give to your kids

A van that's been lived in for a few years probably won't have that much resale value and it's not exactly the best thing to inherit (his kids would probably either have their own van by the time they get the inheritance or have decided against that lifestyle).

I guess it's fun if you're content being a Nomad. But I'm with the grandparent, this lifestyle is probably just not for me.

How are you so certain that this is the best use of resources, do you have personal XP in the problem domain?

> Don't make some other random and worse things.

How did you determine that these changes are "worse" or "random?"
For organic chemistry yes. There is a ton of information you need to be familiar with before you can begin to apply it. The corresponding lab course was just as challenging.
Then you have other problems. Maintaining the store itself, obtaining the extensions people want, and keeping the extensions up to date adds some overhead.

Looks like it should be possible, although I have no experience doing it myself.

That's such a blah mindset. Sure my job might be on the line but at least they come for the other guys first.
Serious question (I'm not a biologist): How did the nitrogen, etc. get released when the plant material (that became oil) first died and got buried? Is this fundamentally different?
https://grizzlybulls.com/how-it-works is the best page I have explaining the basics, but I probably need to be more accommodating to complete beginners. Grizzly Bulls is intended to be a great complement to the buy and hold passive indexing strategy that most people use.

The easiest way to use Grizzly Bulls is to hold VOO in any brokerage account, sell it when the model generates a sell signal, and then rebuy it when the model generates the next buy signal. A slightly more advanced but more tax efficient approach would be to open a margin account with futures trading permissions and sell S&P 500 Futures (ES or MES) of equal value to your VOO during sell signals, then repurchase the contracts you sold during the next buy signal. With this method, I've found you can usually reduce your overall tax burden to less than 15% and you'll only owe taxes on the net result of your futures trading.
Pushing Through Friction [video]
To save others the click: Their issues were simply that Swift has no fast JSON impl, and in Rust, when using serde (most popular library handling JSON marshalling), it leads to binaries getting a bunch bigger. That's it. So yeah, same perspective -- unless either of the above matter in your case (in 90%+ of cases they don't), JSON is just fine from a perf perspective.
Practical problem...

Kids won't do that. And there's a lot of classes there.

Though indo agree with his sentiment. Most college lectures are useless and easily replaced with a video. I found my best math professor had us do homework and then the beginning of every class I'd going over it and working out all our mistakes. I felt that he could teach calculus to a monkey he was so effective.
> Also, ditch the old-timey film-camera look. I don't need 15 physical switches, most of which should be automatic anyway.

Yeah, you do. For the reasons others have given (adjusting the exposure compensation on my iPhone is a PITA. On my Olympus I just spin a dial).

But also: if you're "out shooting", this may happen when it's freezing outside. If you've found a pair of warm gloves that allows you to comfortably use an iPhone, I'd love to hear about them. My Olympus' dials are usable with my winter motorcycle gloves. My iPhone's screen is also a pain to use if it's wet. Sure, it won't brick the phone, but dragging things around the screen? Good luck.
> These are the things you're supposed to do on the evenings and weekends.

Along with "giving back" to "the community" in the form of unpaid labor. There is a class system at play where the owners and financiers--not the builders--benefit the most. And they make sure of it. They've effectively co-opted everything that made the early (mid-late 90s) Internet many of us grew up on good and turned it into a money printing machine. Acknowledging that you the worker are a skilled person worth investing resources in, rather than an interchangeable component in the money printer, would give you power they're not comfortable with you having.
Unfortunately 99.998% of the population can't do that. I'm glad you found a solution for yourself, but that doesn't help everyone else, so everyone else will reward the manufacturers by buying them and leaving them able to phone home, so manufacturers will just push the boundaries a little further next time and that might impact you in a way you can't easily mitigate.
Hashing Passwords with AI [video]
The bill was amended for training companies to have no liability for derivative models they don’t have control over.

There’s no new disincentive to open sourcing models produced by this bill, AFAICT.
Well that was in the late 70s and 80s. I was just starting out and back then many programming jobs (IT) did not pay that much. Well maybe did not pay that much at the company I was at :)

But within a few years I was making more and more as salaries for programming started to skyrocket. But to be honest, even if it didn't, I would have stuck with it.

The people who remained in my old job (manf), they were outsourced as the decade went on :( By the early 90s, all that manufacturing work was gone in my area.
We’ve become so great at articulation and delivery of empty ideas. To a point, I completely block out people like these in real life. This is an entire career for many.
This is JSON-RPC basically. Microkernel architecture personified where everything is a service. Unix was all about files. The emerging next standard is probably an OS built entirely of services.
In json, with their baked in schema, I think that someone may encode a DEC64[1] number as... string, array, or whatever.

They are smart enough to recognize obvious sarcasm…and as such they wouldn’t take it literally but instead would get my underlying message that defacing priceless art might be counterproductive to motivating people support your cause, but instead might have an opposite effect.
it really isn't irrelevant in edge cases

sure most people don't write code for such edge cases, like ever

but e.g. systemd does sometimes because they reliable appear when running things at e.g. googles scale

They make money through the fees they charge companies that pay for their service, so that they can get banking data from their consumers. Those fees are not cheap, so I do imagine they are doing most of the work to sustain the business right now.

I’m not saying “you should trust Plaid with your data” — absolutely, 100% not that. I imagine that’s how I’m being interpreted, hence all the downvotes.

What I’m saying is that at the present time, it does not seem to me that Plaid would be incentivized to do something that they explicitly say they are not doing. Plaid’s business model is, trust us to get your customers data and deliver it to you, and only you, safely. Selling it to Bob down the street on top of that would threaten their primary business model. And today, that primary business model is doing very well! So why threaten it?

Now, someday in the future, maybe that business model has stagnated, and line still needs to go up, so someone may get greedy and that may change. In fact, this is even likely to happen! But there will be signals that it is coming.

Even re: the issue of misleading users that they are not their bank — after they got slapped down on that one, their strategy changed. There is a new set of regulations around disclosure around these things, and Plaid is pushing them pretty hard. My guess is they had some hand in drafting these regs and are hoping to use a higher regulatory burden to build a moat against competitors.

But honestly, I’m kind of surprised at the lack of nuance in understanding how Plaid works, especially here on HN.
Sure, artists deserve to be paid. They won't get much out of whatever this mess is because Marques takes 50%, and that's after the app stores take their 30% cut.
Thanks for the feedback! Those features are in my roadmap, but I go at a slow rate next to my work. You'll probably see the timer before the unit conversion, as it's actually a hard problem. Did you know there's a US cup and a british cup (actually a few more)?? The problem may involve tracking the origin of the recipe if no lang is provided, or setting some defaults.

On the backup side, the easiest thing I'm introducing soon, is a "raw" button, where you can see the recipe raw, and you can download the `.recp` file. In the future, I'd like to have:

- Export all recipes and favorites

- And in case I give up with the platform: an obsidian integration, or a some kind of desktop app.

So just to be clear, I do want to have an escape hatch, even if the website doesn't succeed, I will still use the language. But, it's not my main priority at the moment.

Regarding the pricing model, I just don't see myself charging for a subscription. I've been thinking how to create a sustainable product. So far, what I have is a potential affiliate program. I want to use the recipe's materials to link to products. I think this is relative nonintrusive, and it's actually useful, because I've found myself reading a recipe and not knowing what something was, like a proofing basket, for example.

Let me know your thoughts.
What Terry Crews learned from his NFL career
Famous guitarists mostly only play specific expensive brands because they are endorsed by them. Any professional musician can make the cheapest of instruments sound really good. Maybe a note is missed here or there and the sound is not as good as it could be but it will still be way way better than an average player.

Here is Satriani playing on a terribly setup guitar [1] His only comment at the end? Oh, that was a little painful.

The way I would do it without seeing the implementation:

- Atomic to track print order (name it counter).

- Results slice stores items: {index, err, data}.

- Goroutines: do work, store result, then loop-check if counter matches index to print (with tiny sleep).

Edit: Another solution would be to put printing loop outside with a channel to signal work finished but I don't know how I would avoid using nested loops, one for the items in the list and one to check if the result is back.
yes! always be learning! and learning how to think and create, not just how to operate tools

however, see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41695702

inevitably some of your learning efforts are sunk into the tools, apis, and platforms you use. those can compound over time, making you more effective for the rest of your life, or simply be a pleasant memory. spending time on tools, apis, and platforms that are not dependent on some company's goodwill is helpful here; none of vulkan, x86, risc-v, linux, freebsd, emacs, perl, python, angular, or flask is dependent on any single company

(x86? yes, without amd, x86 would have died around 02000 like most other 80s architectures did, killed by intel's itanic blunder.)

in the 90s i invested time learning a lot of different tools and platforms. most of them are no longer useful to me because they were dependent on some company or other: vax, vax/vms, informix, netapp, mfc, sunos 4, purify, clearcase, pv-wave idl, erdas imagine, khoros cantata, irix, windows nt 3.51, cde. but, for the most part, those that were open standards (or, better still, free software) remain useful to me to this day: diff and patch, shellutils (now coreutils), tcp/ip, perl, netbsd, emacs, python, html, css, the i386 architecture, bash, vim, c, c++, sql, gcc, gdb, samba, ssh, postscript, tcl, tk, etc.

admittedly x.25, smtp, ftp, perl, tcl, twm, and fvwm are not as useful these days, and visual c++ and win32 are still somewhat useful. so it's not 100% black and white. but the longevity difference is extremely striking

Here, here. But this vague, passive voiced, hand-wavey statement that isn't even a promise does not exactly inspire me with a ton of confidence. Considering he turned this bill down to protect business interests, I wonder what acceptable legislation would look like, from his perspective. Looking forward to hearing about about it very soon, and I'm confident it'll be specific, actionable, responsible, and effective.

Digital camera SoCs are actually multi-core ARM with a DSP on bus and tons of RAM, and actually do what GP proposes(boots up and goes to sleep when battery is inserted). Some runs Linux, some really obscure RTOS. Lots of SoCs are OEM'd, but no one talks who supplies who. All those cheap plastic looking body shells are paper thin cast magnesium in black paint, not even aluminum. Some has Peltier based active cooling for years.

The bunches of hackers behind those... they don't like talking to anyone on anything unless you're asking about marketed features on finished products, or you show a badge or a business card they recognize. So the Internet never knows.
