I wouldn't consider HN a social community. More like a sort-of-aligned rag-tag drive-by commenting site. In a community you know each other personally. Not that it's not valuable or interesting, otherwise I would have quit it long ago.

The value of any site is in its members' (self-selected) convictions, interests and skills and its self-regulatory and adaptive abilities... as vague as that sounds.

But yea, I desire back the calm net too. If not for my sake, then for everybody else's. We're making it up as we go. That said it's a metropolis now, not a village...
I stopped using Seamless when the corner sandwich shop went from $15 on an $8 sandwich to $25.

It made my blood boil when the receipt had 3 different fees before we even got to the tip.
The point of the article is to highlight how students should be using ChatGPT.

Now it's up to you to share it with your kid and convince them they shouldn't cheat themselves out of an education by offloading the learning part to an LLM.

This doesn't change the value provided by the institution they're enrolled in unless the teachers are offloading their jobs to LLMs in a way that's detrimental to the students.

Cheating has been and will always be a thing.
This is the first time I'm hearing about it
I downloaded it pretty much as soon as I finished reading the blog post, only to discover it's not available in my region :-(
Wonder owns Blue Apron too.
They’re pretty abysmal for things that are StackOverflow related, too? I’ve tested a lot of things recently, and all of them have had pieces that were just absolutely wrong, including referencing libraries or steps or tools that didn’t exist at all.

Huh - that seems quite reasonable, actually.
> The biggest challenge facing these climate tech industries right now is the chicken-and-egg problem. You can't make anything cheaper than the centuries-old fossil-based competition unless you do it at scale; you can't scale it without offtakers; offtakers won't participate unless it is cheaper than the status quo.

That's the exact sort of thing governments are supposed to solve.
FEC v. Ted Cruz for Senate is a great example of a case where the majority says "we don't see examples of X" while the dissent cites a big list of X.

Heller is also a famous case where basically every historian (as well as the defense) points out clearly that Scalia's interpretation just isn't the original understanding of the text.
Someone paid a Cornish builder to work on their patio, this is how far he got. I'm sure he'll finish it dreckly.
Those are all strong and (at varying times) very innovative companies, but I don't see how any of them were positioned to be media companies in Japan. Sony owns a lot of media assets (ie Sony Pictures) but those are from M&A rather than something developed by the core business.

LINE is far more popular in Japan than WhatsApp. It's a Korean company, and if you mean why it never took off outside of Asia, I suspect its a matter of network effects, but I have not looked into it in detail.
There are a lot of systems that rely on precise timing, for instance clock generation/recovery, or opening/changing/closing a control valve in some process. It has to be precise or you lose sync in the first case or legitimate catastrophes can happen in the second.

A realtime OS makes some guarantees about the timeliness of things like interrupt service routines, and that necessarily excludes unbounded and unknown workloads from getting in the way -- something that every general purpose or soft realtime OS struggles with as the lack of determinism can improve throughput and scalability.

Conversely there's a non-zero chance someone uses the same language or patterns an LLM might. I've fed my own writings into several AI detectors and regularly get scored 60% or higher that my stuff was written by an LLM. A few things getting into the 80s. F me for being a well read, precise (or maybe not?), writer I guess. Maybe this explains my difficulty in finding new employment? The wife does occasionally accuse me of being a robot.
Is it okay to post suggestions that only apply to a small portion (say, 5%) of HN readers and trust people to determine for themselves whether or not the advice is applicable?
Well...

Markus J. Buehler is the McAfee Professor of Engineering and former Head of the MIT Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He directs the Laboratory for Atomistic and Molecular Mechanics (LAMM), leads the MIT-Germany program, and is Principal Investigator on numerous national and international research program... [he] is a founder of the emerging research area of materiomics. He has appeared on numerous TV and radio outlets to explain the impact of his research to broad audiences.

I think this guy's just playing political/journalistic games with his research, and tailoring it for impact rather than rigor. I'm not sure I endorse it necessarily, but I don't think we should write this off as "dumb article from MIT", but rather "the explorations of a media-savvy department head". That doesn't excuse the occasional overselling of results of course, as that's dangerous to science no matter the motivation.
Does that say dupe? Just flagging it properly
I learn new tools and platforms all the time, but editing needs muscle memory and I don't want to abandon that every five years for the new hotness. IDEA is just starting to show some longevity for Scala and Kotlin.
Be careful with these though, a lot of USB switches (most readily available ones, even) aren't wired correctly and can result in current flowing from one computer to the other.
You are kidding, right? Twitter is hemorrhaging users and its ad revenue has cratered. Bluesky and Threads are picking up a ton of these refugees and over the past four months I have been seeing a lot of companies leaving Twitter and moving other to these other platforms.

Twitter has already been dethroned, within twelve months it will be obvious to all.
For me personally, taking into account whether or not a plane had power outlets is the overthinking option.

I've been on planes / trains / coaches that are expected to have them, but who had faulty outlets at my seat for that particular journey and I wasn't able to use them. So I just have a small battery pack (little bit bigger than a pack of cards), and a big one for laptop recharging, and I take one or both (plus my slightly bigger than a lipstick one that's light and fits easily in pretty much every clothing pocket I own) depending on the trip I'm going on, meaning no added complexity as it's just like remembering to take my laptop's power cable, and I no longer have to spend any time thinking about whether the transport will or won't have a power source for me.

I appreciate what works for me won't be the preferred solution for everyone, but for me it definitely leads to less overthinking per trip not more. (And personally I don't notice the added weight of these batteries in my bag; and I would want them for travelling even if I could be guaranteed every flight & train had working power outlets, as I've had times when they were useful to have when visiting a client's offices, or when staying in a hotel with a dodgy outlet, or when going hiking an nowhere near power outlets - so in my case it wasn't even an additional cost caused by not trusting planes to provide a good power supply.)
ILLink has definitive knowledge about the types present in the program, including generic instantiations, which is what allows ILC to compile the program. You cannot introduce new types at runtime when using NativeAOT, and all callsites and reflected upon members are either statically known or brought in by one or another form of annotation. This is not related to JIT because the only difference in generic handling is when the compilation takes place. It is handled by the same compiler back-end being fed the same information. In fact, this also applies to trimming with JIT publish modes. Generics themselves are only tangentially related to reachability analysis. You are misunderstanding the way this works, this isn't Unity's Mono.

Putting in more practical terms - had NativeAOT not supported List<T> where T is an open generic, most hello-world scenarios would not work at all. And yet, somehow, by divine intervention, ASP.NET Core, DapperAOT, Avalonia, Uno as well as MAUI iOS under Simulator, even damn WinForms that was never made with NAOT in mind (with a helper package), and so on and so forth - all complex applications, work under NativeAOT.
> such as census

Uh... There are plenty of people who seem to think census results are rigged in one way or another. E.g. I think I've seen that the infamous Heritage Foundation (I know, I know) has some beef with The Census bureau over some under-counting or something like that.

If anything, I'd love to see more zero-trust approaches to government, where possible (voting, statistics, etc). No idea if that's going to work, but probably worth a try.
I was making a barely-veiled reference to Bruen, actually. "Can cities require demonstration of need, to carry firearms?"

The bump stock ruling's stupidity had more to do with resting entirely on silly, plainly-motivated reasoning than its relying on objectively wrong "facts".

Incidentally, I was wrong about it mattering whether it was argued: the historical evidence was argued, and the majority simply went "uhhhh those many examples don't count, because I don't want them to". What's been turned up since the case is examples that fit the much narrower criteria they said would have been needed (neatly carved out to evade the provided examples) but positively asserted don't exist (to any notable degree), in such volume that it's beyond clear that restricting carry of firearms in towns on a need-basis was common throughout the country's history, and not just in the West (their reasoning for rejecting those examples, I shit you not, was "um, those don't count because they're from one area, never mind it's a giant area"—if it's starting to look like they were playing Calvinball with that ruling, it's because that's exactly what they were doing)
Yes it is.

Bluesky’s app and services is open source. With plenty of people crossing over to it, reason being because it resembles Twitter pre-Musk.

Mastodon is also open source but never held or got even near the #1 top spot ever, and I don’t think it ever will due to the friction of choosing a server.

People nowadays expect familiarity. ‘Don’t make me think’ that is why people aren’t going to Mastodon.

As for Threads, it isn’t open source and are now introducing platform decaying features like ads which will make the platform worse.

So I can say (at least for now) Bluesky is currently the platform of choice right now.
I don't think this knowledge even exists. Can you point me to a recipe website that has any structured information about paralellized steps?

To me, it sounds like you want to annotate data that doesn't even exist.
Looks a bit overengineered due to Netflix's own microservices nonsense.

I would be more interested in how a higher traffic video company like Pornhub handles things like this.
An Object Sync Engine for Local-First Apps
That's very much not what matters. If you wanted to travel to the UK and your plane took you to the Falkland Islands, you'd be very pissed off and say "you didn't take me to the UK!" If someone says "where is the UK?" the correct answer is not "the south Atlantic." There is the United Kingdom the nation and United Kingdom the place. An invasion means troops in the place.
Elon Musk Says He'll Gameify Fighting Government Waste Through Doge
Not single, but I seem to know a certain number of the young (under 30, or anyway 50) who have paired up somehow. Did they meet in "real life", i.e. without the help of social media? I don't know. But when the results include an engagement ring or a baby, then I count that as real life.
That seems pretty clumsy. Even a first year employee would catch that in a code review.

Not sure how hte OP describes that as innocent looking.

How was that innocent looking?

The Wikipedia article also has the scene that you can watch at your own risk.
> I have seen many fans, in the face of being told the reason for these changes, say that it doesn’t matter because they aren’t personally epileptic. This is, as you might understand, incredibly personally frustrating, and yes, very ableist. In saying this, these fans claim that disabled people do not have a right to feel safe when watching their favorite series, and that their wellbeing doesn’t matter in comparison to a few brighter shots of teenagers using their magic powers to punch each other.

As a person who's never had a seizure, and who doesn't want to find out the hard way that I'm vulnerable, nor have anyone vulnerable be harmed, I get angry at filmmakers who throw in rapid strobe light scenes.

(Secondarily, it even happens in non-action movies, so you can get the sudden strobe lighting when you're just watching a movie at night, in a dimmed living room, to wind down from the day before bed.)

It's often a nightclub scene, but most recently it was a fight scene with gratuitous strobe light.

The strobing is usually a surprise, as evidenced by the startled note to my initial curse word.

An engineer solution would be to make a software filter that operates on video playback in real time.

A lawyer solution would be to wait for someone's family to be devastated, then sue the perpetrator so hard that US companies start caring.

A social media mob solution would be to downvote punish movies that did this, then go through the credits, and downvote all the other properties in which those people are involved.

A human solution would be for people to be more considerate and responsible.
Promptim, experimental prompt optimization library
Interesting idea for those who are struggling with prompts. In my case, I hope to achieve through prompts something that I am only able to achieve through more advanced models. Let's see!
> how do you know the per-share price

Same way you do for a public company. From trades and valuations. Private shares exchange hands in private transactions as well as almost every time the company raises money. If a company issues incentive stock options, they're required to calculate a 409A price, which while a bullshit number, is indeed a per-share price.

Corporations, by law, have shares.

You're welcome to read the ePrivacy Directive [1] [2]. It makes no mention of a full page banner that requires interaction before reading a webpage.

Every company implementing something a certain way should be really believable though. It's a compliance feature so you want to implement it the same way as everybody else so if a regulator complains you can point to everybody else as a defense.

Advancing Cloud Native Containers on FreeBSD: Podman Testing Highlights
I actually think that this is the most important part of the article:

> Similarly, it’s important to be open about how you use ChatGPT. The simplest way to do this is to generate shareable links and include them in your bibliography . By proactively giving your professors a way to audit your use of AI, you signal your commitment to academic integrity and demonstrate that you’re using it not as a shortcut to avoid doing the work, but as a tool to support your learning.

Would it be a viable solution for teachers to ask everyone to do this? Like a mandatory part of the homework? And grade it? Just a random thought...
I'm thinking here of an Indian place near my office that graduated from ghost kitchen to food hall restaurant. I had their food both before and after, and the difference was night and day. I actually didn't want to try the food hall version, based on my experience with their ghost kitchen incarnation. But a friend convinced me to give them another chance, and now they're one of my favorite places for when I want to splurge on lunch.

I don't really know what the difference is, but I'm guessing it's that they didn't get to have a kitchen setup that was well adapted to their menu at the ghost kitchen.
Title is misleading, it's an exec that's not hidden in any way.
BSPs (or CSG in general) is still present even in modern engines due to how quickly it allows designers to build levels. Even when it’s only used for prototyping prior to an art pass.
The crazy thing to me is that it's #1 in the general free app category, "Top Free Apps," not only the social media category.

And those stones will survive, but the structure they are a part of will not. When you pull a stone out of a structure, it becomes just a stone. Structures become unrecognizable in a relatively short time span.

Fossils are as durable as stone (indeed they are stone) but their structure is preserved in such a way that they remain distinctly identifiable for millions of years.
The mechanics of the human optical system are absolutely wild, and the abstraction many have of "the eye just gathers pixels and sends them to the brain to interpret" is just wrong.

One of the most fascinating things to me about virtual reality was the discovery that we can mitigate VR nausea by giving people temporary "tunnel vision" when they are repositioned in space without their bodies being moved in the real world. For a significant percentage of users, it's the motion in the peripheral vision that leads to the gross dissociative-body nausea, and simply cutting off that stimulus helps significantly. And for other people, it doesn't!

One thing I like about RTEMS is the BSD affinity, https://gitlab.rtems.org/rtems/pkg/rtems-libbsd it seems like a pragmatic way to get some of the desired features.
> the claim being made is that Coca-Cola has a goal to use reusable packaging 25% of the time. Why is a third-party more reliable source of a companies's goals than the company?

Parsed incredibly literally, sure. But at that point we're asking about reading comprehension and obviously dealing with someone working backwards from the answer they like. The context around the goal is whether it's actually being pursued and whether similar goals have been announced in the past and how those went. That's obviously not going to come reliably from the press release.
It's funny, because as someone who never got into delivery apps, they all blur together in my mind (complete with the constant choice of an orange color palette from a myriad of different companies).
Fair enough - I elaborated here [1] on why it's by far the better option for me, but I completely accept that different people have different priorities and different weightings to the pros/cons, so whatever works best for you is great too.

Anyone who believes that there is still a clear delineation between press releases and journalism doesn't know how the sausage is made. Declining revenues and cost-cutting mean that an increasing amount of "reporting" is just an intern paraphrasing press releases. Many news outlets - including Reuters - will happily publish your press release verbatim on their domain, with only a subtle disclaimer to distinguish that paid content from news.

I don't fully endorse the sibling comment arguing that news publishers have "brought this on themselves", but the unfortunate reality is that news is a dying business and many publishers are making increasingly desperate decisions at the cost of their reputation. I'm not particularly concerned about bias, because that's usually fairly easy to recognise; what I am concerned about is a very broad decline in quality. The constant pressure to produce more content at lower cost means that most journalists are grimly resigned to churning out articles which they know are poorly researched and thinly sourced. The product is crap, but nobody can admit that it's crap because there's no obvious alternative.

To me there is/was a natural connection between electronic music and game development just by the sheer involvement with technology. And jungle just happened to be very popular and going thru some major grassroots scene development around the same time. Personally, alongside earlier exposure to popular/underground dance music, my deeper exposure to electronic music came from tracker music and the demoscene which of course went hand in hand with developments in the game industry.
Oh thats far too easy. Just use your company provided PTO or take a leave of absence. Why even bother asking HN for that when you should be asking your employer's HR team?
Nice! I've been playing around with one on glambase and it's crazy how addictive they can be
You can technically do "much more" in Blender, as it is a full blown mesh editor, but (quake-like) brush-based editors are *MUCH* faster -and easier- to work with. The limits do allow for making some things easier.

And unless you are targeting vanilla Quake (or a game with similar limitations), you can still use smaller models (and modular meshes) for details, etc, so you get the best of both worlds.

Also FWIW i don't think Blender is always the best even for such environment props - for some geometry (mainly man-made stuff) something like Wings3D can be faster to work with than Blender.

In fact implementing brush support was one of the first things i added to my engine's world editor[0][1][2] and adding Wings3D-like mesh editing is something i've considered (i implemented the data structure and basic operations years ago[3], but i'd need to convert the code to use the engine's geometry code and of course implement the editor UI for it).

Not sure why this was posted, but as a Pippin Owner, it's definitely a unique system. It's a great piece to have conversations about when people come by. I wouldn't really say it was a good console by any means, but instead it was a good computer for your tv.

I love the couple I have (Variants) and they always make for a great 90's nostalgia talking point. They sit on display with the 3DO and CD-I. The other nostalgia consoles like the NEO GEO are still used regularly.

There are also some aftermarket mods for all of these that really improve their performance and accessibility.
