Whenever I've tried picking two random points in Berlin on Google Maps, averaged over all the point pairs I chose, public transportation takes an average of about 50 minutes regardless of physical distance.

If both ends happen to be right by the same line then you can do better, of course — connections and stop distributions are what drag things back to that value.

My old apartment and employer were 8 km apart*, Google says 48 minutes by public transit, 28 minutes by car, 30 minutes cycling, for average speeds of 10/17/16 km/h respectively.

Public transport has a huge cost advantage, it lets me learn the language during my commute, and it's a huge space saver relative to personal cars, but it's nowhere near as fast as you'd expect from the peak speed.

* by foot, or 7 km as the crow flies.
I'm hopeful for Matrix future success as I'm rooting for Matrix! Props for you for growing Matrix into this big!

Unfortunate other fact is because RedHat is a bigger brand, its developers hold undue sway in the community and have a tendency to offload work onto others, while also resisting suggestions and particular contributions.

Happens every time they mess with a critical system and change a standard.
Because that 00.01% of unavailability occurs during emergencies.
Probably even at lvl 2 out of 9 it would lose all the games.
It also seems weird to fire people when you intend to expand the scope of operations.
This has been my experience in the US as well, but I'm not so sure that this paradigm extends outside the US.

I lived in Europe for a few years and didn't feel that same context as well - it wasn't almost assumed that white people were racist and anyone might be seen as racist regardless of their skin color or heritage.

I have to agree with you. Not having a proper, understandable documentation is part of what drives people away from Matrix, IMO.

And shoving the ansible script into people's faces is not a solution. I never used Ansible, and I won't start using it just because it's "easier" to setup Matrix with it, instead of setting it up by myself.

All services I self-host are quite easy to setup, Matrix so far has been a bit more difficult, but not that hard.

I wrote my first line of BASIC in 1976, if I remember correctly!
I was 15 years old, and my dad and I went to a trade fair.
There was an IBM booth there. A man invited me to try a moon-landing game.
It was on an IBM 5100. I asked my dad what happened to the characters that scrolled off the top of the screen!
Since he wasn’t at all into tech, he asked the IBM engineer to explain it to me.
And that’s when I knew it was my thing! I wrote my first few lines of BASIC right there!
The following year, there was a Hewlett Packard booth where an HP-9825A (I think?) was drawing Lissajous figures on a plotter.
I was mesmerized!
The next year, I start working during my holidays to buy an HP-25.
The year after that, I got a TRS-80 Model 1 Level II and started programming it in BASIC.
I didn’t know much at the time. I even bought the Editor/Assembler, thinking it would increase the screen resolution!
After that, it was an Atari ST (with Megamax C and GFA BASIC),
and then PCs with a whole variety of languages ...

What has always impressed me is that some people managed, in just a few days, weeks, or months, to invent languages used by millions of people, sometimes for their entire lives! What an impact!

Mr. Kurtz, you may not have created the best language, but what you did create brought joy and inspired a whole generation of young programmers. Joy that, I feel, has somewhat faded today.
Unless you’re coding in Rust!

Thank you, Mr. Kurtz!
Not super relevant but your site is super janky for me (chrome, ubuntu). I get a scrollbar for the second part of your site, which then captures scrolling so if my cursor is in the middle of the page and I go down then up I am stuck.

It's also true that Apple hasn't really created any of these technologies themselves; afaik they're using a mostly standard LLM architecture (not invented by Apple) combined with task specific LORAs (not invented by Apple). Has Apple actually created any genuinely new technologies or innovations for Apple Intelligence?
The proposal is an attestation from Github, owned by Microsoft.

They could instead use a cloud-based trusted execution environment on Azure, and get an attestation from some combination of Intel and Microsoft.

Or they could use a TPM and get an attestation from Infineon that the Microsoft-signed shim loaded a kernel blessed by a Microsoft-approved Linux vendor such as Canonical.

Seems to me that just trades one corporate attestation for another.

This article sort of addresses a question that I have had for a long time. I always wondered why it was called a "double" ratchet. There is only one hash ratchet. The triple Diffie-Hellman isn't anything like a ratchet. From the article it seems that the 3DH is called a ratchet anyway.

Even in the dark? Or at a distance? Or not facing the signer? Or with arthritis?

Differently abled folks are entitled to their own culture and beliefs. Yet claims like that seem to be trying too hard to find a silver lining.
> Do you actually think all development happens in public GitHub repos? Do you even think a majority does? Even a strong minority?

Do you think everyone you encounter is an idiot who just learned about the Internet yesterday? I started programming long before Github or Sourceforge even existed so given that all your assumptions about who you're talking to are so full of bad faith, I can only assume you have a chip on your shoulder and you don't know how to read what I wrote previously.
This might be useful to you: if you want to have an interesting conversation, insulting your interlocutor is not the best way to go about it.

IIRC (this was a while ago), it saves a key into the Windows registry. But somehow, it overwrites it the next time I launch or quit the game, so I can skip the intro after I modify the key, but then it reverts.

In my case the text is everything. Check the screenshot in the post:

It's Vim buffers with practically no borders or UI. Doubling the font size would half my space because text would be twice as large.

I love that "AI" is suddenly a high bar that the best AI technologies we have don't pass, when the field is 70 years old and includes, you know, straightforward search algorithms.

I mean, I get it. These things are mainstream and close enough in some ways to what we see in science fiction that the term evokes the sci-fi meaning of the term rather than the computer science meaning.
I don't expect that any aircraft with a 2000+ km range would be classified as a "taxi".
While you are right that capturing the carbon dioxide can be done with relatively little energy, that is not what the article is about. If you capture it, you end up with tons and tons of waste, essentially as much as the fuel you burned, what are you going to do with it? The article is about [...] converting CO2 into useful products [...] so that you do not end up with waste but useful products and the requires as much energy as you got from burning the stuff, at least to a first approximation, you would of course not try to recreate the exact same stuff you just burned.

If you capture the carbon dioxide, then for every supertanker full of oil you burn you need to permanently get rid of a supertanker full of liquid carbon dioxide. This is of course a project of insane scope given that we burn billions of tons every year. So in order to not have to deal with the waste, what if we just turn it into something useful that people will pay for? Because that costs a lot of energy, the energy we just extract. And now you want to put it back in? To get back what you just burned or at least something similar that you could almost certainly produce more efficiently directly from the oil?

It's not a requirement to be useful tools, its a requirement to be an "analog for the language center of a brain". I personally use them as boilerplate-generator and as rubber ducks, but a neurotypical brain will create neologisms quite often (accross a life, not everyday ofc) when talking to people.

What about earned at least 10 bucks? I see myself selling a game more likely than spending 10 bucks TBH (haven't gone asset shopping yet tho).
This is exactly what I feel AI needs. A manager AI that then hands off things to specialized more deterministic algorithms/machines.

I'm not sure if your "ground braking tech" means that you are concerned with the aircraft literally landing slowly and safely on the ground when power is lost, or if you mean radically better, metaphorically "ground-breaking" tech.
The Quantel Paintbox is the usual suspect for early 1980s video graphics excesses:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantel_Paintbox

The wireframe 3D graphics in that video must have been rendered in something else, though. Maybe it was made on Amiga with VideoToaster?

The original Amiga with its 8MHz 68000 CPU had just enough horsepower for that kind of 3D.
Same here. I also wonder who would even target their political ads at european audiences.

Less poltical information from fewer sources equals incumbent protection. This is a regression for democracy and an advance for oligarchy.
Yes. Just like the Log4j issue root cause. Too powerful and abstract features to wield securely.

Or maybe if we keep intent out of it; features were added in a time when we all worried less about security and internet implications.
I would like to say ‘in the security dark ages’ but we are probably still in that era. ;)
Show HN: I Made an End-to-End Encrypted Life Goal Planner
When planning your whole life in order to see your Tasks in Perspective (PerspecTask), it's important to know that only you have access to your private thoughts. No employee of the app can see your goals because they are encrypted before they are sent to the server.

A goal can have unlimited subgoals and unlimited "parent" goals, which is something I wanted for a long time because you can see how a completed task gets you closer to achieve multiple bigger goals.

I hope it helps you achieve your highest life goals!
To be fair, you don't have to fall into the Tragedy of the Commons trap. If everyone else chooses to use LLMs during an interview that's their choice. If you are asked not to and are uncomfortable using it anyway, just don't.

Yes, that’s a Copilot answer because you should already know this, especially if you live in America.
My daughters at 11 would be too embarassed to allow me to walk them to school! At 13 and 14 they took public transport (trains and buses for 2,5 hours) to go to an amusement parc (Efteling), which is about 130km from our home. And back again. By themselves.

And fun fact about the Efteling: "There is no minimum age to visit the park without an adult. Parents or guardians are perfectly capable of assessing this for themselves."
Probably not. Typical eyegaze using IR has two main ways of working - bright eye or dark eye. This though wont care as much. Its based on a inference model..

That actually was the point, in colonial economies, (declared) income taxes hit colons way more than locals for a lot of very good reasons (and one bad, undeclared work that prevented owners to pay social security contribution), and for a lot of very bad reasons, French government/business owners wanted that to stop, hence VAT.

What's funny is that the families behind the fast implementation of VAT in colonized Africa are still two of the most powerful and rich French families.

A byte is itself sort of a token. So is a bit. It makes more sense to use more tokenizers in parallel than it does to try and invent an entirely new way of seeing the world.

Anyway humans have to tokenize, too. We don't perceive the world as a continuous blob either.
Nothing like wasting time and getting a nice pay check for it.

Truth from the guy who says the parents of murdered kids are “crisis actors.”

This is the essence of populism: revolting against a disliked and distrusted establishment by backing a significantly and very obviously worse alternative. Instead of the mainstream media which has proven itself untrustworthy let’s go for a full on con artist. Instead of bad journalism let’s have pure fantasy made up by dudes taking bong hits.

It’s the intellectual equivalent of protesting police misconduct by setting your own neighborhood on fire and destroying your own things. That’ll show em.

Can't uploaders still post political videos?

Based on the political ads I've seen over the years, people are better off hearing from non-paid sources.
It’s very interesting. I’ve tried to observe myself. It seems that if I can see a breakpoint somewhere and then examine state and then see what the problem is, a debugger is great.

If, however, it’s something where I need to examine state at multiple times in the execution, I lose track in my mind of the state I’ve seen before. This is where print debugging shines: I can see how state evolved over time and spot trends.
Well that could explain why I've personally had a hard time finding a job with around 15 years of experience - I don't use LLMs.

With that said, none of the interviews I've had over the last couple months included questions that could reasonably be done with an LLM. The context is usually wrong, technical challenges were done live on a video call and it would be horribly obvious if a candidate was just prompting an LLM for an answer.
Right but that's not optional cookies functioning at all, that's simply rejecting them altogether. Why not just say that? It's also a much easier sentiment to agree with than these confusing semantics about optional cookies working fine if you just ignore the banner.
EU countries have elections, too.
Interesting, why do you think so?

I feel like paid, targeted ads on platforms everyone uses are extremely insidous, because an incumbent or major political party will always have more funds than an e.g. an upstart party, and targeting is generally bad as it's easy to play into people's preconceived notions that way, instead of presenting your position or the change you advocate for.

Edit: replaced "incumbent" with "incumebt or major political party"
I think on the contrary, the more you can restrict it to reasonable inputs/outputs, the less powerful LLM you are going to need.

Not mentioned: Standing desks make it more natural and easier to do a lot of little "fidget & flex" moving. A few toe-lifts here, shifting left & right a couple steps there, stretching your fingers as high as you can somewhere else - it can add up. Not to a lot, but still a lot more than just sitting.
