The (bigger) problem is that that's the tip of a much larger police brutality iceberg. It's not like the police is 99.9% pleasant and helpful and then just murders the occasional person, the murders are indicative of a disturbing police culture.
Absolutely, yea it’s all about keeping a clean, tight, high engagement list.

Then your domain reputation will be good because Gmail/outlook’s algo will see good numbers coming from your domain. Then the only thing you have to worry about is your IP rep (which comes from the platform you’re using — basically “are you sending from a platform that has high standards for customers and zealously guards their IPs”).

You can spend $thousands on consultants and what they’ll tell you will basically just boil down to that.
The parent comment is obviously stupid and has already been down-voted, so HN is doing its job? There is no need to feed the troll.
Really? Windows2000 (which was based on NT) hit the sweet spot for me. Anything earlier than that seemed too buggy, and from there onward just seemed to devolve into a bloated mess of unrequested "features". (The very reason why I have been using Linux for 20+ years now as a matter of fact.) But yeah to be completely fair I suppose not everything they have produced since has been crap. There have been some innovations here and there...
Safari states their position on standards here: https://webkit.org/standards-positions/

IMO they have good reasons for opposing most of the standards
Just guilt and shame, companies don’t have a right to do it but people just comply anyway.
You can't use your 25 year old phone for more than a snake game. most 2g towers have been turned off to make room for 4g and 5g.
Never knew about this. Have to give this a try. Would this work from the command line as well? For e.g. while doing `fossil clone`?
I disagree with the premise of this article. Modern AI can absolutely be very useful and even disruptive when designing FPGA's. Of course, it isn't there today. That does not mean this isn't a solution who's time has come.

I have been working on FPGA's and, in general, programmable logic, for somewhere around thirty years (started with Intel programmable logic chips like the 5C090 [0] for real time video processing circuits.

I completely skipped over the whole High Level Synthesis (HLS) era that tried to use C, etc. for FPGA design. I stuck with Verilog and developed custom tools to speed-up my work. My logic was simple: If you try to pound a square peg into a round hole, you might get it done yet, the result will be a mess.

FPGA development is hardware development. Not software. If you cannot design digital circuits to begin with, no amount of help from a C-to-Verilog tool is going to get you the kind of performance (both in terms of time and resources) that a hardware designer can squeeze out of the chip.

This is not very different from using a language like Python vs. C or C++ to write software. Python "democratizes" software development at a cost of 70x slower performance and 70x greater energy consumption. Sure, there are places where Python makes sense. I'll admit that much.

Going back to FPGA circuit design, the issue likely has to do with the type, content and approach to training. Once again, the output isn't software; the end product isn't software.

I have been looking into applying my experience in FPGA's across the entire modern AI landscape. I have a number of ideas, none well-formed enough to even begin to consider launching a startup in the sector. Before I do that I need to run through lots of experiments to understand how to approach it.

I’ve learned my lesson. I’m done investing in someone else’s platform. POSSE model from here on out.
Of those 1000 people, the vast majority are armed and actively threatening either the public, the police officers themselves or both.
Yes, Chrome is necessary for some sites that don't work on Firefox.
made improvements. It's now about 12ms constant. Usable for real-time playback.
Then this programming paradigm cannot interact with one another. If I have subroutine that does X and another that does Y. How do I compose them? Composability is basically saying, "You can then do Z using X and Y" which is already explaining how its done. So you end up with a language where no subroutine can reference another, because that would constitute how.
Why would they not be identical? You'd change either the Fg function or adjust F=ma (more common). The weak equivalence principle holds in MOND IIUC. You can't make a statement about the strong equivalence principle until the resolution of MOND with GR is well-defined, in which case the strong equivalence principle may still hold.

Anyways, to claim that failing equivalence principle is disqualifying is begging the question since support of the equivalence principle depends on the observations... And already we observe the rotation curves are "messed up". If that means EP is violated, so be it?

You wouldn't argue against a symmetry violation like CP because "it makes the cute rule fail"
I mostly agree in practice, but I'd walk both ideas back slightly: Things which should always be the same should have a common name, and things which might differ should have separate names. Doing so gives you a strong foundation where developers making local changes are unlikely to break the global program (related ideas include preferring total functions (reasonable outputs for all inputs allowed by the type system) when possible, constraining type signatures to make that viable if it otherwise isn't, and giving names to things which are harder to misuse when that isn't practical (like `index_of_assume_sorted` instead of `index_of`)).

Connecting that idea back to the discussion:

1. IME, usually when code looks similar there exists a nice abstraction (a nice "name" future people will understand) for the similar bits. Allowing duplication to grow when you could have properly named things will eventually slow down development.

2. Functions with many parameters are rarely that kind of nice abstraction. The commonality is something much more contained, and functions with large parameter counts should usually be relegated to "entrypoints" or other locations where you're actually merging a thousand different concerns.

3. Bad abstractions are much more expensive than duplication. I have zero problems with committing duplicated code when there aren't any obvious solutions and letting a better plan materialize later.
My bet is that LLM tools will do for tech what cloud, SaaS, and other productivity tools did before. Make productive users better and faster.

My first job in 2010 required 12 operations personnel to manage a simple app server + database. The db had a dba oncall of 3 people, along with oracle support contracts. These days that job would be done using cloud tools, and that team of 12 people wouldn’t exist.

The same story has been true throughout the infrastructure space for 15+ years, with current practices foisting the remaining work on software teams.

I suspect junior engineers who can make effective use of LLM tools will be in high demand. LLMs also minimize the benefit of experience provided you can still sift BS vs truth. A firm ultimately only cares about who delivers the most impact.
> I think it helps democratically - people understand the code and could believe in its fairness.

Ok but to what benefit? Progressive tax codes are both complex and fair.

> I agree, but that's also a perversion of 'simplification'. If you follow that logic, the even simpler tax would be that everyone pays the same amount, not the same rate. E.g., everyone pays $10K, no matter what.

Ok, then what is true simplification?

This is where I don’t find the argument that taxes need to be simple compelling. What’s the benefit?
That ability to copy system folders and macOS having generally not cared about what it’s booting off of was a lifesaver for both myself and the friends I’ve acted as tech support for several times over the years. It was a bit confusing when I discovered that Windows was nowhere near as forgiving in this regard.
In short, people with glib answers tend to rely on over simplified models that don’t reflect reality.
Principal agent problem. Look at the final outcomes. Business exists to make money even if it means the most malicious ways (ex planned obsolescence), science project are not there to make money.
Are web standards the new proprietary extensions?
I've run into exactly zero sites, that don't want to update some firmware on some piece of hardware over usb, that don't work on firefox.
No, muscles and the liver constantly release glucose into the bloodstream. Type 1 diabetics can’t produce any insulin and would end up in hyperglycemia.
What are these proprietary extensions?
Calling this 'alternative' construction seems like coming full circle since this line of combinatorial argument is how Boltzmann came up with his H-function in the first place, which inspired Shannon's entropy.
This isn't ineficiency though, probably closer to bullying.

Quitting a job has no complex moving parts, and most corporation will deal with it with minimal paperwork (you really only need to prove you gave them your resignation. An email reply would be enough legally).

The issues these new graduates (the source of the TFA is MyNavi, which is new graduate centric) are facing are arbitrary, purposefuly set to make their life harder.
What's POSSE?
If reboot doesn’t happen kernel panics, at least that’s what the article says.
The missing text focused programming environment
Mainframes in the late 80s got so good nobody was rebooting them. Then in the 90s someone's mainframe had the powerbackup generators fail in a power outage and the system went down (a once in 500 year event, but with more than 500 mainframes around the world it was statistacally bound to happen). the system didn't boot correctly and it took months to figure out all how to start all the services it was running that the person who started them left without add them to the startup configs. Now everyone reboots a couple times a year so that when things don't restart correctly the person who knows about them still remembers something about it.
> In 2023 it's estimated police killed around 1,248 people. Notice I said killed vs Murdered as words matter. Out of that only 104 were unarmed. Now without looking at each case or example here, you can still account for the mass majority of police interactions ending in a death, the civilian was armed at a minimum.

Does the Second Amendment not exist? Which other constitutional rights do you think we should use to justify these murders?
Last week I started this OllamaTea [1] BubbleTea component library which tries to leverage this idea of an Ollama sidecar.

I've really appreciated Ollama as a simple local inferencing service. I'll now sometimes ask Ollama something using its CLI, rather than going to a URL bar. Once Llama 3.2 Vision became available on Ollama this month [2], I got excited to try them with visual UI elements. I've also wanted to explore some kid-friendly TUIs, which need to be cheap and private.

OllamaTea is not intended to be a full-feature Chat program, but rather as scaffolding for adding Ollama to custom TUI apps.

Once I had the base OllamaTea library, I was able write the POC that inspired the whole thing.; I made a TUI that plots a terminal chart of some market data, converts that to an image, then prompts Ollama about it. Easy to achieve once all the pieces were in place. [3]

The direct Ollama Golang API [4] is very easy to use. OllamaTea just makes it easier to make TUIs. While most of the research action is in Python, I think there's room for ML applications/services/orchestrators written in Golang and working with the Ollama API surface [5].

Yes you can do that.

Buy a standard midi to usb adapter (~$20), then do:

piano -> (usb) -> Jamcorder -> (midi out) -> adapter -> (usb) -> pc

It should give acceptable latency for real-time recording.
Just because Google implements something does not make it a standard.
They don't even implement the standards that they have agreed to properly.
Triton ATMs very prominently ran Windows CE and then Windows Embedded Compact, the RTOS one that was also under Windows Mobile, not “full” Windows NT.
Well for theorem proving you need Sigma and Pi types plus some notion of equality. Can you achieve those with Scott or Church encoding?
Although I don't think it is reasonable to ask such a question without cause / reason for suspicion, whether or not the Booker Prize is corrupt would indeed be relevant to an article about someone winning the prize.
I mean, the Voyager probes are completely proprietary. They’re completely custom, built for a unary purpose.

Building long lasting hardware makes a lot of sense when you expect to use that technology for a long time. I’m sure there was a time when people thought we’d be using steam power forever.

It makes less sense if the rate of technological innovations makes hardware or software obsolete every 5-10 years.

You need proof of layooff (離職票) to collect you unemployment benefits. It is illegal not to issue one, but it is possible for the company can cause you some pain in issuing it.

Some of those unimplemented “standards” are to protect user privacy. I know this is not universally the case, but it’s worth calling out.
There are documents that your former employer often needs to provide you for stuff like health insurance. And now suddenly it's some direct confrontation to get a document, while your future employer (Who could still just let you go!) is asking you for a document to move forward. So you're facing a bunch of time pressure in gnarly cases, without many people around to help you out.

There are procedures to get around this stuff but since it's not the common case, when it does happen suddenly you get to learn about labor law.

I think anywhere in the world, when there is active antagonism causing bureaucracy to not be able to move forward, most people freeze up like a deer caught in headlights. Turns out that being a sociopath can be quite helpful for exploiting workers!
Do you get unemployment benefits in Japan even if you quit?
Yes, a large part of why Japanese society appears (and in fact performs) so perfect is because of an absolute fear of shame.

From the moment you are born you are taught to care about what and how others think and feel about you and your conduct. If it's not your social peers, it's the literal Sun ("Otentou-sama") looking down upon you and judging your every single moment. If you shame yourself, you also bring shame upon your family and your ancestors both living and dead.

To be clear: This does work, and most Japanese are happy to serve society rather than feel compelled to do so at threat of cancellation. There are also benefits for the compliant, namely in the form of social safety nets both legal and social to ensure a minimum standard of living.

Japanese expats are a particular bunch, they left Japan because they couldn't stand the shaming and strict adherence to social codes. A kind of "you can't fire me if I quit" response.
"Debris has been recovered from the shores of Lake Huron but after careful analysis, it was determined not to be of national security concern."

It can help with type 2 diabetes. Look up Dr. Sarah Hallberg.
Yes it should be, but it isn't, that's the problem
I wasn’t talking about translated docs.

There are whole stacks of software used in Japan which are not used anywhere else. Sometimes it predates western adoption of similar ideas (like the media phones Japan had years before the iPhone, which to some degree Apple was copying), sometimes it Japan that adopts something western and then forks it. It is a recognized and studied phenomenon: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gal%C3%A1pagos_syndrome

There is some advantage to speaking English as you then get access to two separate development cultures and can pick the best of each for the job. But it is not a hard requirement like it is for the rest of the world. Only a small minority of engineers work on the latest western technology stacks like we do.
You can fingerprint a browser to > 99.9% accuracy because of Google's lax approach to privacy and security when adding new features.

Of course this benefits the advertising side of the business immensely.
I think npm stats aren’t even the same thing as number of jquery downloads. I bet 99% of the downloads off npm are automated jobs like CI.
When was the last time you wanted to build a website and web browsers got in the way? Those days are long gone. Compared to a decade ago, everything is amazing.
Broadly, I'm in agreement.

But the folks using the company's line-of-business apps mostly aren't even aware that the browser can open a particular part of the app in a new tab, and even when they are, they aren't aware that the tabs can be torn off into separate windows, and of those that do, there are still some who wouldn't figure out that both browser windows can be tiled side-by-side.

And even when you pass all those hurdles, it's still disruptive enough to the normal workflow that most people who can do that won't do it at all anyway.
I tacked that direction after my work with early Angular and React sites 2014-2016. It isn’t that I’d never work on an SPA or a site using front-end frameworks like that, it’s that it became very clear to me quickly that they weren’t necessary or particularly helpful for the majority of the sites they were used on (definitely including the sites I was working on, one of which was thrown away entirely months after we delivered it to the client), and how much adoption was resume driven.

I used to assume React solved genuine problems for FB but given ways in which the UX+performance has gotten worse, I’m not even sure about that.

Meanwhile html plus progressive enhancement works fine for the majority of projects I’ve been involved in. Componentization can still be a win but there’s other ways to do it.
> Its almost as if the police isn't really there to protect normal people.

Well, it's not. Even here, the function of the police is to enforce the will of the state, not to protect people. The protection is a side-effect of the enforcement, but enforcement can also be things like terrorizing minorities.

A Google product didn't work right on iOS? Shocking.
I could flip that culture on its head
I searched that page and their github repo for "inputmode" (my example from before you posted) and couldn't find anything.

https://github.com/WebKit/standards-positions/issues?q=input...

I'd love to find out if anyone on the webkit project is aware of that part of the standard, and if so, the project's official position on it. I can't imagine why they'd oppose it.
The future belongs to those that show up.

4B + Quiverfull = I think you can guess.
Agreed and I would add to the list the ungodly amount of hours they work. I know per hour they might not be as productive (or simply held back by antiquated processes within their companies) but they seem to make up for it in part by working so much overtime.
Eh ok, but the trick is then taking the limit for L->infty and use Stirling’s approx which is what Shannon did
More than troll posting it's probably a scam.
Everything you ever do with your computer while using this is subpoenable. To quote Dick Jones: "He's a cyborg, you idiot! He recorded every word you said. His memory's admissible as evidence!"
That's because Windows 11 only comes in 64-bit flavors and Program Manager as bundled with XP would be 32-bit. WoW64[1] can't bridge 64- and 32-bit binaries in the context of system components, such as the shell.

Try running that under 32-bit Windows 10, I never tried it myself but I have a feeling it should work.

This is how I work. My website is content enhanced with calculators and other widgets. The widgets are individual Vue apps contained within bits of Jinja templates.

I'm not saying your wrong but it's also possible that technology whether created by public agencies or private companies is simply more complicated now and because of that .. more likely to fail over time.
It's a little bit of both in this case.

Kids are all over Discord, Roblox, Minecraft, and VRchat. They're writing scripts and mods, and that's great. They're probably having a blast and a good number of them are learning a lot.

But they're doing all of these things in someone else's walled garden, on buttoned up platforms that typically constrain what they can accomplish. There are fewer degrees of freedom and a lot less ownership in the work they're doing.

These platforms also cost kids money. They use toxic gotcha mechanics and peer pressure to monetize. This part is strictly worse.

It's a lot different carving out your own clubhouse and culture when you're renting. Especially when you're made to speak a certain language and abide by a rigid set of rules.
And you see evidence of this influence throughout Chrome.

For example, Apple simply blocked third party cookies which are almost exclusively used for tracking. Chrome waited years until they could add their Advertising Sandbox feature first.
Looking at the linked references, I'm not sure what else is being assumed to be available or not available when considering proofs using the Church numerals. I guess that will matter a lot, and I don't know enough to make more general statements about what is or isn't sufficient here.
All versions of Windows NT setup run in the same kernel that the installed OS is in. Pre-Vista versions would stick to a basic text buffer that was a lowest common denominator.

Windows Vista and newer launch a more substantial version of the OS with the graphics system and Win32 services running, but they never intermix versions. Windows 10's DVD loads Windows 10 to run the installer. That they haven't updated the pre-baked Aero graphics since Vista is a laziness problem, not indicative of being "actually Vista/7" :)
NSA's early career recruiting pipeline is pretty strong at the collegiate level. They recruit from a LOT of good universities that top tech employers don't recruit from (eg. UTSA, Texas Tech).

The issue is the US Government is hundreds of agencies, and each state in turn has hundreds of agencies as well.

Each of these agencies has their own IT that manages that agencies's infra and security AND they are very limited funds wise and salary wise.

For example, back when I was a PM, a customer of mine was the de facto CISO of a several hundred person agency yet only earned around $120k a year and had a less than $1M budget for all IT spend.

The agency could not build it's own hiring pipeline (having to resort to USAJOBS and the department it was a part of) nor was there any truly unified security platform.

While the naive answer would be "have everyone use a single platform", just about every presidential administration in the past 20 years has tried that and failed.
It’ll become messy if they keep paying you?
DSM is a tricky one. That's one area where the patient's idea of symptoms may be especially affected by patient's symptoms. Many will align, but for example you wouldn't want a bipolar person during a manic episode to tell you if they're having problems, because they're going to be feeling amazing. On the other hand for example ADHD diagnosis in many places relies on extra people, because patients are known to downplay their symptoms.

> from the perspective of the sufferer is far far more specific

So yeah, that's... sometimes true.
