I don't know how much I agree with that.

The old kind of NTFS compression from 1993 is completely transparent, but it uses a weak algorithm and processes each 64KB of file completely independently. It also fragments files to hell and back.

The new kind from Windows 10 has a better algorithm and can have up to 2MB of context, which is quite reasonable. But it's not transparent to writes, only to reads. You have to manually apply it and if anything writes to the file it decompresses.

I've gotten okay use out of both in certain directories, with the latter being better despite the annoyances, but I think they both have a lot of missed potential compared to how ZFS and BTRFS handle compression.
I honestly doubt there exist an actual reputable resource having it on a same page. Each language tracks their own latest version(s). Wikipedia tracks latest versions for a variety of software but it's on different pages.

But how would you capture the situation when people are using both linux and Mac ? I for example have a good mini PC which run Linux and a MBP. I use both depending on where I'm (I mostly work from home). I even have a windows machine dedicated to gaming (not that it matters here).

Is Google Search Cooked?
ChatGPT launched search, Anthropic launched computer-use. Opinions about Google Search have been turning negative with its aggressive sponsor placement and its own AI cannibalising organic content. Not to mention the deep sh*thole that we call SEO
Maybe I'm alone on this, but I genuinely believe that SEO ruined the web.
China mostly exports goods lower on the value chain. When China tries to move up in the value chain such as exporting whole cars, phones, networking gear, software, that's where the "China bad" becomes much more of a problem for Chinese companies.
No.

The method of action is different. An automatic transmission using a torque converter loses more energy in the form of heat than a traditional manual gearbox.

The only gearboxes that have the same efficiency regardless of whether or not they're manually shifted are true automated manual gearboxes like BMW DCT or other such auto-magic boxes that use clutches rather than viscous (liquid) coupling to facilitate gear changes.

I don’t have many thoughts about the perks, I always thought they were the dumbest and cheapest thing management could do to appear to care, so like, if they want to stop doing them, cool.

WRT AI making engineers obsolete. Ok. If some LLM lets an engineer be, like 2x as effective, the companies are now going to have to compete against other companies, half their size, that suddenly have as much engineering capacity as them. This will all be very funny if it actually happens.

Anyway, we should stop pampering C-levels and upper management with giant salaries. If the company is going to halve itself in size, their jobs just got much easier.

First impression: Far too slow to replace Google Search for this use. I frequently get 5+ seconds of waiting before the first word of a response shows up, vs. less than 1 for Google (which is not as fast as it used to be). OpenAI has a lot of work to do on latency.

I can definitely see this new search feature being useful though. The old one was already useful because (if you asked) you could have it visit each result and pull some data out for you and integrate it all together, faster than you could do the same manually.

It's often hobbled by robots.txt forbidding it to visit pages, though. What I really want is for it to use my browser to visit the pages instead of doing it server side, so it can use my logged-in accounts and ignore robots.txt.
yeah, that's what it seems like. As of today, there's no additional features I notice compared to having a Safari-based desktop version of this (which I uninstalled to install this one).

The house they always passes legislation that will never be implemented to support the base or send a message.

That signal only has meaning if the Senate or administration takes it up. For example, before the great flip of segregation advocates, the house passed legislation making lynching a federal crime for nearly 50 years. The Senate never allowed it to leave committee for a vote.

The meaning of the signal is unclear without understanding the dynamics. The MAGA idiots control it, so there’s a lot of performative legislation to keep the crowd occupied.

> Al is only covered if he's making fun of the original song

My only nitpick is to remove the word "only" because there is at least one other possibility where he's "covered" in the sense of not legally needing permission: whenever his work falls short of copying the words and/or melody of the original song. If he modifies the melody enough (there's no specific threshold, but let's say he avoids a run of 4+ notes with intervals identical to the original work) and also doesn't copy lyrics or any other copyrightable aspects, then he's covered. It's very possible to achieve a song that makes your audience know exactly what you're going for, without copying any of the copyrightable aspects: you can take the chords, rhythms, instrumentation, accent, etc.

In the case of Smells Like Nirvana, he takes the copyrighted melody, which would require permission but for the exception you pointed out.
Exactly why I never went with getting copilot, I instead got a chatgpt subscription and prompt for stuff I need.

I do sort of regret it too, sometimes you just want to give more context and it's a hassle at that time. Figuring out what is it you need to paste to ensure the model has adequate context to generate something valid. Also, Claude is magnitudes superior to ChatGPT anything. Both are terrible at implementing abstract completely unique code blocks, however ChatGPT is significantly more "markov-y" when it comes to generating any code. When Claude gets things wrong it feels like a more human mistake.

Anyway, with 50% of HN obsessing over Cursor, is it worth it? I couldn't get it to open projects I have in WSL2 and I kind of gave up at that point. I've gotten far with Claude's free tier and $20 for just cursor seems steep for something that's not as stable.

>People can reasonably expect Wikipedia to have factual data even though it sometimes contains inaccuracies.

It drives me crazy that my kids teachers go on and on about how inaccurate Wikipedia is, and that just anybody can update the articles. They want to teach the kids to go to the library and search books.

I publish my content "for free" because I want to spread knowledge and information, or promote a topic or interest I enjoy, and monetization has never been a priority for me. I know that I am not alone. The urge to create does not depend on a need for money. I am happy for my websites to be picked up by Perplexity or ChatGPT because I want more people to see/learn/hear about the things I care about.

If someone only creates for money, only publishes on the web to get people to look at advertisements, well... I think there are plenty of other people who don't feel that way that will fill the void left behind in their departure.

To me it seems weird so many people think the internet only exists because advertising props it up. The internet existed and was a wonderful place before advertising became widespread, and most services and websites will continue to exist after advertising is gone (if that ever happens). What encourages people to believe in some sort of great collapse?
It would be nice to see a de-coupling of the backend (as a service, deamon, etc.) so that we could choose the desired frontend of our choice (net win from a UI/UX, accessibility perspective, etc.), but it's been a long time since I've encountered a consumer level application that did this.
Love what you said about sleep and exercise. In the Shimmer app, we call this "Lifestyle Medicine" but it's basically the foundational pieces of your life that keeps your body running as it should. And this should 100% be considered before more complex treatments. For us we include sleep, exercise, and food/nutrition.

That's awesome that you have a whole bunch of skills that you've found that works for you! For some people, this takes months to figure out the right mix since what works for someone may not work for others. And also, HOW you do something is almost more important than WHAT skill you're using. I would also add that in coaching, in addition to skills, the coach is supporting in long-term thinking, goal setting, so that there's a direction forward as well, which is really important. I like the quote "medication is like glasses, it helps you see more clearer but it doesn't teach you how to read". I think about this quote a lot because for me, the value of coaching has been to help me set a new direction in life, be reflective in what I want, then work to build an ADHD-friendly life around me that helps me go in that direction.

Totally hear you on pricing. We're working on a few routes around reimbursement, partnerships with schools/workplaces, etc. Right now we are HSA/FSA eligible and also many of our members get it paid for through their work's L&D budget or disability/DEI budgets.

It wasn't just them, but another dozen or so YC startups who've been around for many years and always keep a job ad in the queue. It's not their fault for doing that—it's my fault for neglecting the HN job ad system for too long. I get that the community doesn't like seeing the same ads over and over for the same few, long-established companies.

We recently changed the HN /jobs page to gradually reduce the frequency of those. Newer startups, who by definition haven't been around long enough to have had many posts, should be significantly better represented. The system has been designed to favor them for a long time, but it's favoring them more now.

> People can reasonably expect Wikipedia to have factual data even though it sometimes contains inaccuracies.

I just straight-up don't agree with this, nor with the idea that what people consider "facts" are nearly as reliable as is implied. What we actually refer to via "fact" is "consensus". Truth is an apriori concept whereas we're discussing posteriori claims. Any "reasonable" ai would give an indication of degree of certainty, and there's no reliable or consensus-driven methodology to produce this manually, let alone automatically. The closest we come is the institution of "science" which can't even—as it stands—reliably address the vast majority of claims made about the world today.

And this is even before discussing the thorny topic of the ways in which language binds to reality, to which I refer you to Wittgenstein, a person likely far more intelligent and epistemologically honest than anyone influencing AI work today.

Yes, wikipedia does tend to cohere with reality, or at least it sometimes does in my experience. That observation is wildly different from an expectation that it does in the present or will in the future reflect reality. Futhermore it's not terribly difficult to find instances where it's blatantly not correct. For instance, I've been in a wikipedia war over whether or not the Soviet Union killed 20 million christians for being christians (spoiler: they did not, and this is in fact more people than died in camps or gulags over the entire history of the state). However, because there are theologists at accredited universities that have published this claim, presumably with a beef against the soviet union for whatever reason (presumably "anticommunism"), it's considered within the bounds of accuracy by wikipedia.

EDIT0: I'm not trying to claim wikipedia isn't useful; I read it every day and generally take what it says to be meaningful and vaguely accurate. but the idea that you should trust what you read on it seems ridiculous. As always, it's only as reliable as the sources it cites, which are only as reliable as the people and institutions that produce that cited work.

EDIT1: nice to see someone else from western mass on here; cheers. I grew up in the berkshires.

EDIT2: to add on to the child comment, wikipedia is occasionally so hilariously unreliable it makes the news. Eg https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2020/aug/26/shock-an-aw-...

Sure here are some examples:

- Ensuring compliance with internal engineering standards/coding conventions.
- Documentation for change management compliance.
- Ensuring no critical/high vulnerabilities in code as flagged by scanners.
- Updating tests to maintain code coverage.
- Reviewing APM logs (like Sentry) to identify real bugs v/s false alarms.

Given a certain scale, each of these tasks become repetitive enough to warrant some degree of automation.

Anyone with a USB-c iPad requires USB-c DAC to connect headphones, with or without a dock. Docks can include 3.5mm audio jack and/or USB-c port. iPadOS software response to physical disconnection of headphone cable varies between 3.5mm audio jack or USB-c DAC. If 3.5mm is unplugged from either DAC or dock, iPadOS will continue to suppress on-board speakers.
COVID-19 has only been around for about five years, as the name indicates, so "I'm in my late 30s" says nothing about how many opportunities you've had to get it, whereas being in one's late 30s does say something about how many opportunities they've had to get (or give someone else) food poisoning.

I'm in my mid-50s. I use wooden cooking implements a lot. I clean them pretty carefully. So far as I know, no one has ever got sick from eating food I've cooked.

The sample size is one person cooking but it isn't only one opportunity to get food poisoning. Let's say 20 years, 300 days per year, one meal per day; that's 6000 food-poisoning opportunities, none of which has obviously resulted in food poisoning for anyone involved. That is in fact quite good evidence that the risk of serious food poisoning on any single occasion, if you use wooden implements but are reasonably careful with them, isn't high enough to be noticeable above the baseline rate of people getting sick.

If someone doesn't take any particular precautions and never gets COVID-19, that is evidence that COVID-19 is less of a threat than it's sometimes felt to be. But not very much evidence, and it can readily be outweighed by all the other people who have got COVID-19, including some who did take reasonable precautions. Similarly, my and iamacyborg's anecdotal evidence could absolutely be outweighed by statistics correlating food poisoning with type of cooking implements. If anyone has those, I'd be very interested to see them.
I remember the Win3.0 release too, though that was the first version of Windows I'd used (we were a DOS-only house before then). In middle school I begged my dad to get hold of a copy of Windows 3.11 for Workgroups, because somehow I believed that was crucial to my and a few friends plans to start our own software company.

Of course those plans never materialized, even after we all installed WfW 3.11.

It is wild to me that Windows 3.1's system requirements were 1MB of RAM and 6.5MB of disk space. Things have changed...

Not sure which benchmarks you have in mind. Could you provide a link to any of those? .NET's standard library never calls into anything C aside from kernel APIs and certain runtime helpers which is a given.

If you meant BenchmarksGame, then it's the other way around - Java is most competitive where it relies heavily on GC[0], and loses in other areas which require capability to write a low-level implementation[1] that C# provides.

The only places where there are C calls are pidigts[2] and regex-redux[3] benchmarks, in both of which Java submissions have to import pre-generated or pre-made bindings to GMP and PCRE2 respectively. As do all other languages, with varying degrees of "preparation".
