I'm fully aware, just pointing out that C++ is particularly afflicted with backward compatibility issues; far more than other languages.

"The Design and Evolution of C++" gives the impression that even back in the 80s, major concessions were being made in the name of compatibility. At that time it was with C; now it's with previous versions of C++.
Any comparison between Amateur Radio and commercial communication services serves little point, it's like comparing apples and oranges. It's been thus since the early 1930s when commercial shortwave services became commonplace.

Amateur Radio operators are a unique cliquey bunch with practices not easily understood by those who aren't inculcated into the culture.

I see no mention of the guiding principles for schools of the past. They were built to be cheap, long lasting, and durable (storm shelters). Every one of these newer building looks like a high priced and high maintenance design. I don't see any problem with the old bland cinderblock design. I feel that much of the psychology around the building looks is forgetting that people get used to things and that bland isn't necessarily bad if the other content and decor are the primary focus (as they should be Inna school).
When I was a kid my neighbors (who were from Ontario) taught me this game - we played all the time! It’s been over 20 years since and every few I try and recall what “that game” was. So glad to have seen this!
> Leaning on caffeine or amphetamines to force action works, but thats not the same as desiring action. I'm motivated by fear and anxiety, and I want to change to being motivated by desire.

Assuming you're not extremely burned out, you probably don't have this same level of problem with your hobbies or side projects (when you can time for them), even if you find that stimulants are also helpful for executing some of them some of the time.

If it takes stimulants to prod you into action at work, it's likely that your work just isn't intrinsically rewarding for you, at least much of the time.
Ask HN: What Desktop HN client do you use?
Do you use any desktop client for HN, or just the web version? I wonder what folks generally use. For me, comment/topics/keywords notifications are important features for me that's missing from the web.
Can't speak for PS vs GIMP but I used to use Illustrator a fair bit and Inkscape was nowhere near it in terms of both features and useability. Now that was 15 years ago, so it may have caught up.
I was able to find this MIT technology review[1] that explains that one measure of a specific lexical task gives a processing rate of 60 bits per second. However, the author of the scientific paper in question complains about this summary:

> "I have a small scientific comment on your post. Although I think it represents my results very well, I find the opening sentence: “A new way to analyze human reaction times shows that the brain processes data no faster than 60 bits per second.” a bit misleading. I don’t think I have shown anything about the upper bounds of the processing speed, in principle the curve I show in Figure 4 of the
manuscript could extend far beyond this, but I have no information to make this extrapolation, so I would not claim (for the moment) any upper limit."

Britannica[2] has an explanation of historical estimates, which are in the same ballpark: "For example, a typical reading rate of 300 words per minute works out to about 5 words per second. Assuming an average of 5 characters per word and roughly 2 bits per character yields the aforementioned rate of 50 bits per second." However, 2 bits per character is a 4-letter alphabet, so already they have to be talking about some information theory version where the information density in an English word is much lower than what individual letters can encode (which makes sense, the bigram qz has zero occurences while th is frequent).

It goes on to explain that "in other words, the human body sends 11 million bits per second to the brain for processing, yet the conscious mind seems to be able to process only 50 bits per second" except that his is ludicrous on its face, at least by some measures, as the bps from the eyes alone in the table just below this paragraph is 10 million bps. Clearly, the "lexical task" of reading words involves processing much of that visual input -- even 0.1% would still be 10 kbps -- which is handwaved away in the lexical stream example to pretend that the brain receives a direct serial input stream of 2-bit characters.

Furthermore, it's easy to find other estimates of information processing that suggests the input from a single eye is more like 1.6 gigabits per second[3], which is 320x higher than the 10 megabit total given by britannica. The article explains that there's already compression before it hits the brain, though, as the optical nerve is limited to around 100 megabits per second.

The 120 bit upper limit seems to be an invention of psychologist Mihály Csíkszentmihályi (and purportedly independently by Bell Labs engineer Robert Lucky, though I can find no primary source that supports that claim), and is mentioned in that context in the wikipedia article for Flow[4].

This is complicated so it's important to speak with an immigration attorney before you take any steps. The better option is to apply from within the U.S. but doing this while in the U.S. as a tourist is problematic. The other path, through a U.S. Consulate abroad, raises no legal concerns but can take a very long time (compared to a U.S. based application).

Cleaning Up "Scientific Reports": Can It Be Done?
It doesn't assume abortion is an okay thing to do. It assumes you have complete control and privacy over your own body - which you do.

An unborn fetus has never been granted rights in our constitution or anywhere else. It does not have personhood. There is only then one person here: the owner of the body.

> Abusing your spouse

This doesn't work, because your spouse has personhood and therefore rights.

To be clear, this has never been solved by any courts in the US. We still do not consider the unborn to be American citizens with individual personhood. The Supreme Court decided that's hard, so they just didn't do it when Roe was overturned. They essentially "carved out" an exception to privacy for exactly one-use case - Abortion.

You can certainly drink while pregnant. You can certainly smoke while pregnant. Because that is your body and your right, and you are exactly one person. None of that has changed from a legal standpoint. Now, you are one person with every right to privacy... except one.

I think, if you wish to ban abortion, you have to start at the core issue - who is considered a person, and who isn't? WHEN does an arrangement of cells become coherent enough to be considered a person? The reason nobody wants to answer this is because it's very hard, and there's a lot of unfortunate implications.

Then the Supreme Court "cheated", in my opinion.

> These things should come from congress not the supreme court

They already did come from Congress, when Congress passed the 14th amendment, in my opinion.

Sure, it's an important area to discuss in public. I took issue with "never want to discuss", which is not accurate and easily refuted by example. You've backed off to "[not] vast majority of articles on peer review", which is accurate.

A work around would be to get some type of work visa (a challenge itself) and then once in the U.S. on this visa, apply for a green card based on marriage.
It's not "some soldiers", Netanyahu and others at the top have signified their intent to commit genocide with their repeated dehumanization of Palestinians as "Amalek".

> I go there with the intent of getting married, do I need a special visa or not, considering I can already enter legally?

Yes, you absolutely need a visa (specifically the K1). Entering the US with the intent to get married without it is immigration fraud!

I've been through this process myself and I can tell you that it's quite the lengthy process and there's financial requirements and many checks along the way.
For me it was about 18 months from start of K1 application to issuance (delayed due to COVID) and then about 6 month wait on employment authorization (and greencard about 6 months later).

These times could be much longer if you're not from a western country or mess up the paperwork along the way (easy to do, there's quite a lot of stuff both partners need to file).

Just letting you know so you can start the process early.
There's several forums online for people going through such a process with a lot of resources, I'd suggest looking there for other's experiences.

My dude. There was a #killallmen hashtag that trended in 2020. It was covered in major left leaning magazines like Atlantic and Vox. So of course the right pick it up to pull more men into their coalition.

I don't care if it was ironic. You can't build consensus with that kind of bombastic language. The wsj recently had an article on how men are moving to the right[1]. The left needs to avoid identity politics and focus on material interests that help everyone for the sake of politics.

This isn't all some right wing propaganda effort. It's also the left's own goal.

Yes, that’s the impression I got out of it too. I disapprove either way. I’d sooner defend a good argument against my point than a bad argument in favour of it.

I come to HN for reasoned, thoughtful, curious discussion.
As someone who has tried and failed at many points throughout the years at building a game I couldn't agree more with "Build a game, not a game engine" it's hard not to get sucked into the game engine black hole though.
Whether they avail of it, or not, Adobe have the possibility of accessing feedback and iterating on it for a lot of core design markets. I have a similar view to yours, but there is a segment of the AI community who feel that they are disrupting Adobe as much as other companies. In most cases, these companies have access to the domain experience which will enable AI and it won't work the other way around.

All of this is orthogonal to Adobe's business practices. You should expect them to operate the way they do given their market share and the limited number of alternatives. I personally have almost moved completely to Affinity products, but I expect that Adobe should be better placed to execute products and for Affinity to be playing catchup to some extent.
Krugman triggered some self reflection on my part when I read a column by him that was really stupid. Not just politically biased, but got economics wrong.

This is a Nobel winner in economics, I warned myself. Are you really putting your judgement ahead of theirs in their own field of study? I wanted to make sure I wasn't just doing the HN thing of arrogantly assuming I'm an expert in a field because I read a book once.

The eventual conclusion I came to was that I should always make sure to hold some allowance that the export may be correct and myself wrong, except when it's really obviously dumb, and that Krugman's writing fell into that camp.

I've also seen attempts at using someones mistake with misgendering someone on accident be used to start what amounts to a witchhunt in various private communities. So I really don't like it when a CoC assumed maliciousness by default, which a lot of them are.

Interesting, but couldn't immigration laws have jurisdiction over the US company that employs the outside employees? Especially in the ways that they interact with US Soil and US citizens.
It's just an unmitigated disaster. The only non-laughable path is via the EB1 (or marriage to a U.S. citizen or permanent resident). Many Indians who are working for U.S. companies in managerial positions will agree to work abroad for their employer for at least one year and this opens up the EB1C path.
I should have included a disclaimer -- I agree that textures and sprites are excellent, but they come from asset packs (for this same reason I cannot redistribute them in the source release). Only the crossbow placeholder is self-made.

It didn't.

At least, the Transformer didn't. The abstract idea of a language model goes way back though within the field of linguistics, and people were building simplistic "N-gram" models before ever using neural nets, then using other types of neural net such as LSTMs and CNNs(!) before Google invented the Transformer (primarily with the goal of fully utilizing the parallelism available from GPUs - which couldn't be done with a recurrent model like LSTM).
Where's the code? Is Sava OS free software / open source? Your site implies that it is, but I did not see any link to a public repo..
Eh, maybe. I wouldn't completely judge a workplace by these people. I've kind of come around to enjoy working with "weirdos" like this because their personal quirks have no actual affect on how they work. It can make them more interesting if anything.

I think the actual awful part of people like that are when they get in a position of power and preach their weirdness as The One True Way(tm). Which, unfortunately, a lot of them do. I think this stems from them having success in life without realizing it's selection bias. The result is that their own decisions are biased towards their quirks and they become pretty insufferable about it.

But, to your point and to completely contradict mine, I would bet those "One True Way" people probably are the norm at Palantir, judging by the onboarding book choices.

I have seen over-reliance on the facade pattern devolve into endless indirection that can make the code needlessly confusing. If you are already familiar with the codebase, it doesn't seem like a big deal, but when you onboard, you'll find your new teammate combing through file after file after file just to discover, "oh, there's never any external API call or specific business logic involved, we were just reading a static json file from disk that does not change its content during a single run."

Using the known baked in stdlib functions for standard behavior removes a lot of potential uncertainty from your codebase (while also making it sometimes harder to test).

I optimized for this style setup about a year into the pandemic, but using a Beyerdynamic MX300 wired gaming headset. The headset is closed-back, so to get voice feedback ("sidetone") I use an inexpensive Behringer XENYX USB302 mixer. It allows for adjusting the mic/audio mix going to my headphones, and also is a USB audio interface.

This setup is as minimal as I was able to get it: no big booms on my desk to move around, microphones blocking my video, etc. Yeah, I look like a pilot on calls, but the audio quality is amazing. Also, the mic being close to me blocks background noise, and isolates it from my desk. Sometimes my colleagues with podcaster-style mics have issues with mechanical transmission from their desk setups, while I have none.

People often comment — even to this day — about my audio quality. I talk to people all day, being in sales, and it makes a huge difference in my presence and professionalism. Absolutely worth every penny I spent.

As a side note, I also use my iPhone as my webcam (continuity cam I think it's called) along with a couple Logitech lights on my monitor, and the overall quality of my digital presence often blows people away.
Ooh, I published in Scientific Reports during my PhD. It actually has my highest cited paper!

I can't remember where the original paper was submitted to, but it's worth saying that Nature allow basically any paper submitted to their Nature journals to be transferred to Scientific Reports, which is open access. So if it's been rejected, it's a bit of a path of least resistance to let it go there rather than trying again in a better rated journal like Phys Rev A-E or Phys Rev Letters, which also requires you to reformat the whole thing to their standards.

I don't think anyone really thinks it's a high impact journal or anything. The review is as good as the reviewers ultimately. I've reviewed papers for it and recommended rejection and the paper has been rejected. That's more than I can say for other journals.
We are talking about a single function that possibly takes zero arguments versus an interface (TFA doesn't seem to show the code, but the interface presumably exists for DI).

I have waded through such code in Java, rather than C#. At least some of it is fighting the language; Java is pretty hostile to writing DI style code.

On top of that, even in languages that are more DI friendly, DI significantly decreases the lexical locality of code that is dynamically very close.
Wow, thanks for sharing your perspective it's quite different from mine. For me reality is not democratic, number of people making a claim doesn't influence the truthiness of it.

I bring up judges because Internet archive captures have been used as evidence in court cases, the first one I pulled up [0] makes an interesting distinction on whether the archive's snapshots are merely hearsay:

The hearsay rule does not apply to the document (so far as it contains the representation) if the representation was made:

(a) by a person who had or might reasonably be supposed to have had personal knowledge of the asserted fact; or ...

The archive's office manager submitted an affidavit to the court as someone who would have personal knowledge of the fact that the date and claimed availability of the content are accurate. There's no cryptography involved, just an individual and an institutions reputation - this carries much more weight than any number of anonymous individuals attesting to a cryptographic proof

"Widespread" was maybe the wrong word, I was mostly imagining virtual memory on servers.

Currently, not all 64 bits are available for user-space VAs. Even with Intel's 5-level paging you can "only" get 56-bit (128 PB) of virtual addresses. On ARM they reserved parts the top-level byte for memory-tagging as well.

Remember with pointer tagging and overcommit you might have orders of magnitudes more VA address space used than available RAM. Exhausting 128 PB of virtual addresses in the next 40 years does not seem unfeasible to me. CHERI already exists in some niche.
