> sounding pretty sympathetic to kowtowing

It didn't. I was born into and grew up in a spot 'betwixt and between', with much of what I need to become successful, rich & powerful but at the same feeling so damn disgusted by the ways of the people I'd have to deal with that I would rather not support them at all. That nonsense got amplified by leftist bullshit, trusting people I shouldn't have.

Then I got diagnosed with ADHD and a proper analysis of my psyche and my life revealed that my only issue was to get 'friends' when I should have stayed at home hacking away at stuff. They were earlier more aware/conscious and I let myself get dragged to parties, liquor and mild drugs but that Rausch was enough for my hyperactive imagination to lose any sense for accomplishment and the concrete things I could actually do to get into the right positions to make change happen and shape my environment to my (obviously better) tastes.

So every time I read "support your gov.", my brain goes 'grrrr' and triggers an avalanche of emotions and rationalisations that end in "it's all super-gay Mafia hierarchies and there's nothing you can do because all of 'dem gays' are too fragile to withstand the pressure of being an actual man". ( I'm not homophobic, back in the day it meant nothing but submissive, ass licking, it was metaphorical )

So my previous post is meant to encourage myself and others to not get pulled into these hierarchies as obedient participants and beneficiaries but as competitors, breaking, hacking and fixing all the weak spots in these hierarchies and systems.

Young people don't care and the kids from my year turned into people I definitely won't raise my kids with. And it's all because of pseudo-antifragility that comes with kowtowing like a soldier.
Speaking of diffs, one thing that annoys me about Git's diff output is that is prints file paths like Unix diff traditionally does, starting with the two file names:

--- a/some/path/to/file.c
+++ b/some/path/to/file.c

I often cmd-click in iTerm to open a file in an editor, but this doesn't work here because of the a/ and b/ prefixes. Any way to make Git format the file name better? I don't even need two lines here.
To be fair, both have no direct practical applications. And getting people interested in math is actually a great side-effect of stunts like this.
Yeah. Google or any of the big techs are the lowest risk paths to economic stability and independence. Anyone with the ability to work on one should absolutely take it.

It was like a dream to the point of selling off my properties in order to invest into binary option. I met these investors online, at first we shared business or investment ideas and it got to a point we started discussing business proposal until i got confused and convinced into investing with them in binary option. I didn't want to believe i was being scammed at first until i wanted to withdraw my profits into my account. The problem got to a point that i was blocked from logging in to communicate with the site. My $120,000 was lost to online scammers with the believe i was investing into binary options in order to make grand profits. I searched for help but none came until i discussed it with my Mom whom got me to know about Rewallet Coin Recovery which had helped her friend with the recovery of her lost funds. I contacted them and to my utmost surprise all my lost Bitcoin was recovered and the funds transferred into my account. I can call them experts in what they do, i got marveled because it was achieved within 72 hours and still grateful to Rewallet. Contact email, ‎rewalletshieldcoinrecovery@aol.com or WhatsApp::+1 (757) 332-1885
The effect of that is that you're circumventing using hardware specialized for efficient pixel lookup in favor of using general data lookup inside the shader binary. You're saving yourself some memory due to using 1 bit per pixel rather than at least 8 (none of the major APIs expose a 1-bit texture format AFAIK so R8 would be the next best thing), but you're bound to use some extra cycles for the lookup and decoding of your embedded font.
It's a weird context for the bet. What's your point on cyclists not respecting pedestrians even though when they've got more bike lanes? I bet their attitude hasn't changed with the grown number of dedicated lanes. Are you arguing that as long as pedestrians are not being killed at the same rate, being disrespectful to them and causing danger by another kind of a higher risk vehicle is fine?
The Way to Platformland
Going one step further still there's the option of evaluating font curves directly on the GPU, which can be high quality regardless of scale or perspective. That turns out to be very difficult to do efficiently but it can be done.

e.g. https://sluglibrary.com

Meshes and SDFs are much simpler on the GPU side but scaling them up too much can compromise accuracy, and scaling meshes down too much can introduce aliasing.
I already mentioned above, direct managers don't have organisational visibility and can't decide among the hundreds who should be promoted and who shouldn't. The promotion request needs to go some central forum with objective criteria. This is not to say your manager can't represent you vigorously to this forum.

I am an old school Apple user (first personal machine a second-hand Pismo PowerBook) and I find it dumbfounding how most of their customers justify any of their predatory behavior in ways that boggles the mind.

There is the famous piece of writing by Umberto Eco about Macs being catholic (https://www.simongrant.org/web/eco.html) and it really feels like that, their users tend to be highly religious, just not to a traditional religion.

I’ve been using Rails for tape.it to power cloud syncing for an app.

Upsides: hilariously easy deployment and development story. Migrations and secrets management is trivial. Everything works. No long searches for third party dependencies.

Downsides: speed (as in compared to a Java backend, for example), and activerecord has a learning curve on performance. Did some bad design decisions on two endpoints that my iOS client depends on and those design decisions hurt badly. They would’ve hurt in any language but hit me much much sooner with Rails.

Head of Microsoft Russia was Olga Dergunova.

As for "nobody will go back" - agree in general, but at least Anton Nossik did go back.
And BCPL means Bootstraping CPL, it was never intended to anything beyond bootstraping the CPL compiler that never came to be, as the project folded.
But the conditions were unambiguously met because they were just attempting to extort a confession. The conditions wouldn't be objectively met if they tried it on a person they believed to be innocent. And even then the conditions would be met from the point of view of the person making the statement so whoever decided there wasn't a request was conveniently wrong.

Not a lawyer either but I think you could find lawyers claiming both contradictory things.

Just tried it out a few times. It seems that the old gpt4 model strongly prefers telling story about "Elara" - but only if asked in English to "tell me a story".

Prompting gpt4 in German or the current gpt4o in English leads to stories with many different protagonists.

> So the answer is yes, you think kids should be able to transition at any age, if the "context" is correct.

At this point I genuinely wonder if you do it on purpose or if you genuinely don't understand.

It may be (or it may not be, I don't know) that transitioning at 6 is always a bad idea: the age is part of the context. "Part of" meaning that the context is made of other things.

> It's state sanctioned child abuse. It should be stopped.

I understand that you believe it, you keep repeating it. The fact is that if you can't understand the nuance between "It should not be forbidden before 18" and "It should be allowed for everyone below 18", then surely you don't have a clue about the context that would make it okay to transition someone.

People who genuinely believe they are the smartest because they can formulate their strong and uninformed opinions is admittedly a big problem these days.
> the most important lesson of any career: The person/people who control your raise, bonus, and promotion are your real customers.

Such is a "career" in a large hierarchy, where actual acquaintance with people hardly exists and is replaced by "process".

In short, your real customers are not even people anymore, they are a process.

Having enthusiasm for pursuing great ideas that help people is the sweet spot in both career and society.

From the Fine Article:

"Of course my fate should be in the hands of a mysterious committee who’s never met me. They wouldn’t be tainted by any sort of favoritism or politics. They’d see past all that and recognize me for my high-quality code and shrewd engineering decisions."
I found that in Modula-2 and Oberon, however times have changed.

For me the best version of Oberon linage is Active Oberon, while I appreciate Wirth I think he went too far on his quest for language simplification. Even Go has more features than Oberon

As for Modula-2, it is now a standard language on GCC, otherwise Zig and Odin are relatively similar for the curly bracket folks.
> in the country he was living in, violating patents for personal use was okay

Looks like context missing.

In jurisprudence exists definition of negligible case, meaning, harm is too small to run full-featured juridical machine. Same thing considered for example, when tax regulations ignore tips, because it need much more resources to administer than could gather as taxes.

So, laws usually ignore, when you do something prohibited, but nobody harmed, like if you violate patent but don't tell anybody about this.
Unfortunately, this also means, you cannot involve other people or make business on this, so this activity will not scale to level, when we here could talk about affordable 3D printers. BTW, this is opportunity for AI, to use artificial agents instead of people workers, but this is very different context for now, and it is not researched good enough to talk about.
What causes this? Did one of the model trainers write a story about a girl named Elara as an example response to "tell me a story" or something?
> but also demonstrating more than a de minimis level of knowledge or technical skill

HN comments are not the right place for personal attacks. :'(

I'm being attacked for my neanderthal inability to understand five digit numbers :( my primitive understanding of time can only really comprehend two digit year values. Today is the year 1924, right? I failed to write my calendar application to accommodate such high year values as your superior intellect is used to reasoning about. Here I thought ISO 8601 was over engineered, turns out it didn't go far enough. We're all just too simple-minded compared to other big-brain bretheren. May we all learn from our five digit betters.

I'm sorry I'm just not smart enough to be at your level :'(

Not really, I did an implementation in the late 70s, ran on a mainframe of the time (1MHz 6Mb). The language itself is not much more than modern C in scope - and in fact many ideas that were new in 68 are expected in modern languages

The big problem was that the spec was essentially unreadable.
Curious and thoughtful observation.
Linus does not use standard C either. Linux kernel depends on -fwrapv switch (reduced UB on signed ints). Also in discussion about Rust mentioned the kernel has lots of infrastructure that almost makes C into different language.
I think that's called a wizard. Staff engineers are not allowed to cast spells themselves, they just help keep the wizard's staff in good order and troubleshoot technical issues.
I don't know about America, but keep in mind that having an income which is a large number doesn't necessarily mean you have tonnes of wealth (in most general sense of the word), due to cost of living. In my country, you could be in the top 5% of earners and still not be automatically set or life or anything like that, because tax and housing is so bloody expensive it's ridiculous. Even on $200k+ you're still stuck at that job for a decade or more to afford a low-to-mid tier house/apartment, unless you have generational wealth. No, you won't be homeless, which is a lot to be thankful for, but you're still pretty locked in to being a wage minion. In my country, I reckon the top 5% earning is more like where the average should be, in order for the average person to have a decent life.
Obtanium exists for a very specific use case.

1. You have an app you want to use.

2. That app isn't on the google app store or you don't want to/can't use google services.

3. The app is not open source so it can only be built and packaged by the first party.

4. You don't want to manually update the app by downloading a new APK every time.

5. You don't want to give a black-box closed-source app you downloaded from the internet permissions to install new apps (and therefore grant them certain new permissions as well).

My example of this is WhatsApp. I hate the app. I think it's scummy as shit. However if I want the version of WhatsApp that doesn't package google services, I either have to download a 3rd party app store, update the app from their web page manually, or grant the app permission to update itself. I obviously don't want to install a (often closed source) 3rd party app store just to install this app without granting it keys to the castle. So instead as I already use F-Droid, I can install the FOSS build of Obtanium and pin my trust on F-Droid. Then I use Obtanium to manage my WhatsApp updates.

Technically this also extends to open source apps where you trust the first party enough to use the app but not enough to let it update itself and where you want to be able to just download updates from github releases.

> It's obvious

> we all recognize that

It isn't obvious to me; I don't recognize that.

Not nearly everyone can properly conduct an investigation. And if a loner, without family or close friends, is murdered, noone will even attempt investigating. If there's a feared gang in your town commiting crimes, everyone would be too afraid to try to convict them. We would quickly get crime-run cities and local warlords.

We need professionals who can properly investigate and who are willing to risk going up against a group of dangerous criminals.

New Mac Mini Teardown Provides Look Inside Apple's Smallest Mac
As I said in another comment, I think that mitochondria are fascinating, understudied and a rich area for research.

We are bound to the myriad other pieces of DNA that all have different evolutionary histories within us, we are symbiotically bound to many strands of life on many levels. We are just one strand, a part of a singular whole, bound to all strands of life beyond us. This view of life led me to science. I totally think that this view of biology is not properly appreciated by most scientists.

But this article was presented as a scientific piece and made the explicit claim that mitochondria were alive which is a semantic argument that doesn't have a scientific answer.

It is a well written piece that made it to the top of hacker news and it's great to see the debate.

But it just isn't true that mitochondria are alive by our currently accepted definition of alive. This is an old debate in biology that was settled years ago. There is nothing in this paper that wasn't known to mainstream science decades ago, but it is presented as a novel scientific viewpoint.

>clearly not what you were implying by saying it is a minority of scans.

It is exactly what I was saying. And I say this because I work in a hospital with several non-preggo ultrasound labs that are booked overtime. To achieve the same load of pregnancy scans the hospital would need to hire more OB-staff for scanning and the region would need a TFR of 25.

I seen multiple creators performing A/B tests on clickbait titles/thumbnails/pokatchu faces and everywhere conclusion was the same: it's so effective for their bottom line that even when they are not comfortable with it, they cannot afford to not do it.
I work at one of the big companies and some people do that even here. People just talk about their experience or other systems that they know. It always feels conservative to me, as often it's said to suggest emulating what some other group or company did to solve an often superficially similar problem, but with entirely different constraints. I think some people with certain kinds of thought patterns just pattern match and try to apply past experience a bit too broadly.

I wonder if the most recent data from internet that ended up in the training data makes chatgpt lean towards randomly picking that name.

I am from India where we have jokes about our police and how extreme the corruption is and how bad our police is compared to the ones from other nations[1]. But then I often read about USA and police corruption there, brutality, and virtual immunity (strike virtual out maybe) they enjoy and I feel that definitely trumps Indian police in this aspects by a crazy margin. At least we can technically hold them accountable here and we often do.

[1] One of them is that there was a tiger set free in a dense forest somewhere and police from Germany, Japan, and India were tasked to track it down each time as a challenge. Japan found the tiger in 4 hours, Germany in 12 hours. Indian police party was nowhere to be seen. Hours passed, days passed. Finally after the end of the 12th day the Japanese and German police banded together and went to find/rescue the Indian police party. They saw the police party had set camp deep inside the forest and they had a monkey hung upside down from a tree that they were taking turns beating and telling it to confess that it was the tiger.

6 passes seems like a lot but likely that was just to fit it in the tiny computers of the time.

One problem with the language is that you can't parse declarations and expressions until after you have parsed the bracket structure of the language (because you can't tell whether a name is a type or an operator until you have processed their declarations (which do not have to be done before use) - that sort of means you have to do at least 2 lexical/parse passes

In time, this quirk and others* will disappear.

I’ve recently wondered whether it makes more sense to have AIs teach more at home and have classrooms evaluate more.

Another thought is that people will still need knowledge to interact with an LLM in any meaningful way. It’s akin to doing research with a brilliant professor: an illiterate partner will have no idea even what to ask.

*If you repeatedly prompt an LLM to “Make a sentence using the verb V in tense T in language L” with zero context, the example sentences are surprisingly related for a single verb.

For example, “You must do your homework tonight”; “He must do his homework to pass the test”; “They must do their homework tonight”.

Less Is More: DocString Compression in Code Generation
Something with Rails 8 sparked a renaissance, it's gotten some attraction for new users again.
I think they are arguing against the subtitle of the article:
"Recognizing that mitochondria are alive will open new horizons into how we learn about, and build with, biology."
Which seems a stretch based on semantics.
Guessing. I think they may have trained on copyrighted stories. So what they supposedly did was ask an llm to replace the names of the main characters. Since Elara is not a frequently used name, there is little chance of clashing. Then they trained chatgpt on those stories.
