These examples are unambiguous. Try with something more spicy like

which depends on A being a type or a variable.

Sure. I'm just saying your answer is incorrect. Doesn't matter whether you would or wouldn't of answered. You're completely wrong and you wrote a statement that is utterly false.

A lot of historical information on the Internet only scrape the top 50% of the knowledge on niche subjects, if even that. So often I see forum requests along the lines of "can someone scan page 242 of book X please".
Fair. I do think it's unfortunate how "bare bones" Gnome core has gotten.

It's also a gigantic pain in the ass how major releases often break good extensions. It does seem that is getting better, but for a while there I actively tried to stay on release n-1 because otherwise my extensions would all be broken.

Those startup's only mistake was choosing the wrong bank, one that was the de-facto standard in the sector and pushed by the likes of YC.

I don't know if I agree with the gov making them whole, but it isn't really comparable to the Intel situation imho. It's not like the gov bailed out SVB and its investors itself.

Had to look up what plaid was. Think I’d prefer Fednow support and/or Aus/NZ style modern banking, that’s future proof. I see no reason for a third-party to be involved.
> How long will those tactile buttons last, particularly given that the device is meant to be used frequently and is frequently stuffed into a pocket?

Decades. Which I guess is too much for a world that's driven by "value engineering".

I mean, we actually have hard data for this. "Dumb phones" (even those that would run J2ME and had apps and stuff) can easily last for decades, and their buttons work fine after 5+ years of intensive use[0]. In contrast, it's rare to find someone whose smartphone lasted more than a year without getting its screen cracked, or three years without at least one screen replacement job.

[0] - I would know - I graduated high school around when the first iPhone was released. If you weren't of similar age at that time, then believe me when I say it: there is no tougher test for durability of a phone keyboard than having been used by a teenager back then. There was no Messenger or WhatsApp, phone calls were expensive, and videocalls were the thing for super rich, so all the friendships and romance of that age meant texting 24/7, hammering the shit out of the keyboard, day in, day out, for years. Never once heard of anyone's keyboard breaking under the load.
To be clear, there are a lot of bright spots in the Middle East and I think it's given undue shade by the media. I have family in the Levant and I wish things were better circumstantially in the area.

But moneymaking is a painfully practical thing. You don't have the same technology-addled audience you find in Europe. You can't sell an app, and things that require WiFi or electricity might be hard to sell. Marketing is going to be divided along tense political lines and saying or doing the wrong thing could make your product unpalatable by the majority population living there.

So... if selling to the low/middle class isn't an option, you have to kiss up to the rich guys. And the rich guys are largely people with political power or material wealth, and expect a high return on investment. You're going to struggle to keep them on the hook when they can divert money to campaigning or building another oil refinery. You have to convince these people that your product isn't going to be a moneysink, because they're not the same starry-eyed capitalists you find in Europe or America.

You can still make money in the Middle East - there are products that will turn heads. But even if you're preternaturally successful from selling a quality product, it might all turn out to be a gilded cage.

Not just that, but the tooling has also evolved and changed.

Good luck trying to get an old project with old versions of Yarn and Gulp working well, where trying to update either breaks the build but using anything other than var confuses the tooling. Provided that you have a build step of any sort (e.g. minifying the assets) and people picked whatever was popular at the time of the project being made.

I haven't read the article yet, but I disagree on principle. AMD processors are a drop-in replacement for any and all software running on Intel chips (except for things that interact with the Management Engine, but that's a small portion of software I hope).

Aside from it leaving only one major x86 CPU manufacturer, the only thing Intel's absence would cause would be a massive amount of paperwork, as every system integrator under the sun has to figure out contracts with AMD.
You joke but there actually may be merit to it. Of course, you'd still need a GUI on top but you technically could put a full command-line interface with limited commands and actually sell it as a differentiating feature at this point.
OCR is a process that usually incorporates some form of A.I., such as pattern matching, and neural networks. So, the corpus of scanned text in the Internet Archive, Hathi Trust, Google Books, those have already been run through AI-enhancement.

Wikipedians use A.I., especially to identify and revert vandalism, such as the ClueBot line, and similar heuristics are now incorporated into the revision logging.

If more of the headlines, photos, and article text published by news outlets is LLM-generated, then new additions to Wikipedia will be summaries of LLM material already.

Just prior to paywall, the article mentions "starting with AI detection tools", so that's going to be wildly inaccurate from the start.

I'd like to see someone run LLM detection on Good and Featured Articles; what percentage would be flagged there?

I feel like I should try and do business with you because you would be easy to take advantage of..... Workers serve their own interests and are contracted to serve a purpose mandated by government but the only guarantee they do so is the quality of their manager (who has the same problem). Once you get through the matryoshka doll of managerial layers you eventually hit a politician or committee of politicians who also serve their own interests (but more often than not lied to your face about supporting your personal interests in order to get elected). The reason nothing gets pruned in government is because the points in the decision tree that require pruning almost never get hit because there is low interest from a majority of politicians on addressing old problems when they have some new nonsense they are personally invested in that they want to push and they have growth in the economy (and the opportunity to raise taxes if there isn't enough growth) to fund the new nonsense. On top of that, it's harder to prune government workers because they usually have a strong union (because again, no one pruned that nonsense in the 80's and 90's when private enterprise mostly jettisoned theirs due to shareholder and competitive pressures).

Don't you mean patent-free? Or maybe you are asking for copyright assignment?

Not sure what "copyright-free" means... Like do you only accept public domain code?
Brain stimulation at home helps to treat depression
This is generally a good chronological recap, however, the confusing state seems to arise from an unnatural focus on finding drama / attributing motives / a lens of corporations personified playing chess with full information at all times, and then getting confused about what these inferred chess moves mean.

Ex. Some MVNOs haven't updated their iOS cellular with apple yet because it's an obscure technical thing for a feature most of them don't know exists, yet, for an OS that came out...3 weeks ago? It's not confusing or indicative of some grand plan on anyone's behalf

My flag went up for "need to read this closely, they're substituting facts for lengthy contextual verbiage that feels true" as soon as it's talking about gTalk doing a video call a year before FaceTime. The implication that this went away, and more importantly, the implication Google "lost" to FaceTime, and even more importantly, framing not buying WhatsApp as a "miss", are unambiguous signs of immature commentary.

Smaller aside, not intended as a singular reason to find it lacking basis: I'm no Google fan, but over the years, I've learned to ignore handwaving about how the Nth rebrand of hangouts was somehow leagues ahead and then disappeared and there was a brand new one that lost meaningful core features.

I get the Google service stuff is confusing and not good stuff, but truth is you could start a gChat Gmail Chat gTalk etc. in 2009 and have it in your Google Chat in 2024.
Thats a neat visualization. It took about 35 seconds to load for me, and the actual loading progress appeared to get stuck at 15% for most of the time, which tempted me to close before it was ready.

Your understanding is correct. Part of the other issue is that at one point, there was a huge shortage of availability of IB switches... lead times of 1+ years... another solution had to be found.

RoCE is IB over Ethernet. All the underlying documentation and settings to put this stuff together are the same. It doesn't require ConnectX NIC's though. We do the same with 8x Broadcom Thor 2 NIC's (into a Broadcom Tomahawk 5 based Dell Z9864F switch) for our own 400G cluster.
>Small other complaint, anyone using SMS should get auto ignored on Apple now, or at least a setting for auto-ignore messages that aren’t iMessage or RCS

This would exclude any people who aren't on mobile data all the time. If iMessage becomes an Internet only messaging platform, it would have no compelling edge over Signal or WhatsApp.

Julia is a language that blew my mind. It convinced me that multiple dispatch is the way to do generic programming.
This line of reasoning is very common. "If young people don't have to endure the same suffering I did then my suffering doesn't mean anything." It comes up in student loan forgiveness, predatory work environments, and many more. Arresting intergenerational harm would admit that ones own suffering was pointless and that isn't something people can deal with accepting. It's a group coping mechanism, which serves a purpose, but also comes with downsides.

We ran out a long, long time ago. 26^3 is only 17,576 and 26^4 is less than half a million (even if we intentionally set out to increment them rather than use them as meaningful acronyms) yet the birthday paradox gives grave odds for even longer acronyms via random assignment.

China's nuclear deterrence also isn't to be messed with. They've built a super-redundant delivery triad. And given the speed with which China scales up technology, I will bet my entire net worth that they have thousands of warheads ready-to-go.

Since China & USA can't invade each other (LMAO) and a nuclear exchange would be suicide, any conflict in the South-China sea would have to be standoff - lobbing cruise missiles at the other non-stop. And the US doesn't even have that front locked down.

Despite spending $800b/y, the US military has a stockpile of just 4k Tomahwaks (as of 2020). If we translate China's production-spamming to the Taiwan situation, then we can safely assume they have a stockpile of missiles that dwarfs that several times. And since they're projecting power in their backyard, it'll be a logistical walkover, especially with how the CCP tends to get things done quickly and at scale.

Sorry if this feels off the point, but your comment just got me thinking about the SCS/Taiwan situation.
Although I think it's extremely unlikely, I almost wish subversion would have a resurgence. I like git, personally, but I've seen so many people struggle with it, and the problems of putting large/binary assets into the repository are real. Yes, there's LFS now, but (as far as I know) you then need to make up front decisions about what to store directly and what to store indirectly as LFS objects.
Maybe add [180MB] to the title, similar to how videos or pdfs are tagged? It starts loading that immediately when you open the page, which would be 18% of my data bundle if I had been on mobile

(This is actually transferred bytes btw, based on seeing ~12MiB/s for ~15 seconds in the system monitor)

Edit: some people are saying they can't view it, especially on mobile browsers. Here's some screenshots:

- Landing overview https://snipboard.io/YTQRZc.jpg

- Zooming into the center, hovering over an item that is too small to see but the title shows in a tooltip: https://snipboard.io/xOvA47.jpg

- Zoomed in further still, now an individual item can be targeted easily and there are lines delimiting topics (looking like height lines on a map): https://snipboard.io/P6UVAv.jpg

- Hovering over the year selector on the bottom left, same zoom position for comparison: https://snipboard.io/VDW2JI.jpg

Clicking the year seems not to do anything, you can't lock into that view. Clicking a title opens the page, not the discussion thread.

Ask HN: Navigating AI Tooling Choices
I'm currently using ChatGPT Plus and developing with GPT-4o-mini (Continue for VS Code), which costs me around $25 a month. However, I'm considering switching to Claude, as I'm aware that AI tools can evolve rapidly, and ChatGPT might improve again in the future.

I'm also frustrated with the cumulative costs of AI tools — $20 for Cursor, $20 for the GPT API, and $20 for ChatGPT.

Are there any recommendations for managing these costs while still accessing high-quality AI tools? Is it worth switching to Claude now, or should I stick with ChatGPT for the time being? Any insights or experiences would be greatly appreciated!
1. Being green is fine. Why do you need a second differentiator? Green has always been without E2EE and continues to be without. The last thing I want is some extra icon adding visual noise.

2. Forcing read receipts, you mean? Absolutely not. The ability to turn off read receipts is vital for privacy. Nobody should be forcing anything there.

> Small other complaint, anyone using SMS should get auto ignored on Apple now

Please don't. The messages I send fall back to SMS when I don't have good data connectivity, which happens all the time on the go. Why should my messages be auto-ignored because of my connectivity issues?

A GitHub Template for Lit+Tailwind+Daisy Using Vite and Bun
A lot of people were complaining about using CSS toolkits like Tailwind with Shadow DOM and web components. A few asked how I use them, so I made this simple skeleton app with a few goodies included. Here are the features:

* Nav Toolbar
* Theme Selector
* Routing for three pages using the Lit Router
* Mixin class which gives you all the power of Tailwind and Daisy for Lit components
* Bootstrap icons wrapped as a web component
* Breadcrumbs
* 100% Lighthouse Score
Reminder that the efficiency of such a device has a hard bound given by the laws of thermodynamics which doesn't depend on implementation details.
Off topic, a dog’s wet nose also works. Surprisingly useful on walks, e.g. when a poop bag won’t cooperate in a critical moment and licking your fingers is not an option.

This website crashed my smartphone xD.

After loading some sections of the map, my screen turned into digital garbage.
It already is an Internet-only messaging platform, and its compelling edge and sole reason why people care about the blue/green bubble thing is being installed by default on iOS.
I have a relative with dementia who still has enough volition to want to call people and chat. It's been eye opening to see how fluctuating abilities impact use of the smartphone UX.

Periodically, I have to remind them to turn their volume up when they complain they cannot hear me. Their grip on the phone can inadvertently hold the "volume down" button.

Their reduced motor control mixes up tap versus long press and accidentally triggers all kinds of functions. I've seen the home screen littered with shortcuts accidentally created in this manner.

Somehow, they periodically managed to call me, put me on hold, and call me again. I'm sure this was not intentional, but the rapid replacement of on-screen buttons causes different functions to be activated without any real awareness of what is happening.

The "Emergency" button on a locked phone screen can be misunderstood as a sign of danger.

The random assignment of a color icon to names on a recent calls list, contact list, or favorites list can be misinterpreted as some kind of message about the health of that named individual.

I tried to disable emergency alerts, but I fear the chaos at the care home if an emergency alert comes through and triggers that horrible alert siren.
Google has already been doing this for quite a while with Gemini ;-)
Yeah. In most countries copyright is automatic as soon as you create the work. Surely they mean they want confirmation they have a licence to use the copyrighted work?

Google don't want to "break the iMessage stronghold". They want to crack open Apple customers' messaging so they can feed it into their advertising systems. WhatsApp is useless to Google for that.
The client situation for RCS is really quite bad. With SMS and MMS I can fairly easily run my own client on a linux system that has a GSM modem. This is not the case at all with RCS. Even worse, Google Messages is not open source and so far there have not been public APIs available on android to interact with RCS messages.
This is the better way as far as I’m concerned. Go has a philosophy to be simple, and this is explicit error handling at its simplest. You deal with errors exactly where they occur. I think a lot of people simply prefer implicit error handling and long exception chains. There is nothing wrong with that but that’s not how Go does error handling.

After a couple of decades in the industry I really prefer explicit error handling because while powerful implicit error handling is also easy to get wrong. Which means I have to go through ridiculous chains of exceptions to find some error someone introduced years ago, instead of being able of heading directly to it and immediately understanding what is going on. So I guess it’s a little contradictory that I prefer the Rust approach, but I think the compromise of added complexity is small enough to make up for the added safety and “manoeuvrability”.

The flip-side is of course that Go’s simplicity is part of the reason it’s seeing a lot of adoption while most other “new” languages aren’t. (Depending on where you live).
Oops, maybe the spelling is 'loupe', but yes.
