> Interesting point. However the fact remains that even long before the rise of the technologies you cite, people with resources were hoarding wealth and lording it over those who lacked it.

True, but that is not a necessary situation, as some other tribes didn't even have a notion of private property and some societies such as the Amish have avoided that greed. Moreover, in more primitive times, it was much easier to overthrow warlords. And furthermore, hoarding wealth and resources still is somewhat dependent on technology (such as agriculture) if much more ancient a technology. The key is still that we need to take a hold of technology.

> At some point, humanity has to grow beyond treating life like a game where we are all trying to put points on the board.

I absolutely agree with that, and I do think that capitalism as it is today must go -- but so must technological society. You stated yourself that there is a greed component in humanity (perhaps a maladaptive instinct that works only in times of scarcity), and technology provides simply too seductive a source of superiority for it to be compatible with human beings.

> Capitalism to the curb would only be the first step to evolving beyond infantile obsession.

I agree with that, except what is the way to do that when 95% of people still operate within capitalism, and will continue to do so because their existence depends on it and they have no other way to survive? It's got to be a dismantling of technology in a highly strategic way.

> P.S. I really appreciate this discussion, thank you for taking the time to engage!

You are welcome. A lot of people here won't be as sympathetic to what you write but don't get too discouraged. That's just because most humans find it too cognitively dissonant to ponder the intense and systemic violence of modern capitalism and technological society. That's especially true for many technophiles who not only obtain a high degree of intellectual satisfaction from creating technologies that fundamentally promote inequality, but also because technology is an emotional replacement for a lack of community and relationship for many.
True. Good photo is either good light or something extraordinary happening - that is content quality. Technical quality is all that noise, edge sharpness, full frame, and this does not matter.

You're right: it's quite vague. It was intended as "best" for the reader. I'm picking up C again for general SW development after some years of stop, so I'm also wondering what people out there consider the best for their use cases.
Well here’s a story that easy to hate on. 15 kids, child support, divorced, pregnant 23 year old daughter. Let’s all go crazy.

She spent more time with here children than many will in their children’s entire childhood. They’ve experienced something than will bring a moment of silence and respect to everyone considering the feat. Being proud of yourself and your accomplishments, regardless of what life throws you. Even the 4 year old has a life story now.

Oh, and about as American as it gets. This story should make for great, interesting comments.
> I mean, can we just give "ChatGPT got some things wrong, haha" some rest now?

Sure, right after the “AI is more profound than fire and electricity”¹ arguments stop.

People keep making counter arguments because the argument keeps getting made. Stop inundating HN (and everywhere else) with praise for LLMs as if they were the second coming of Christ and the counter arguments will subside too.

> In today's era

In today's era it's still priceless to have a tool that * compiles to a native machine code executable; * is lean and fast - you can get results quickly and from a light efficient interface; * does pretty much anything (and in case you are missing anything in the native libraries, you can interface with external C libraries)...

And (subjectively) can be a real pleasure to use.
>> Failure to deliver on time means they don't get another dime

"On time" can be achieved by over estimating. As a hypothetical, dev A estimates that a project will take a year and completes it in 6 months. Dev B estimates 1 month for the same project and completes it in 3.

Companies that focus too much on things being "on time" ultimately get the "nothing is worth doing" corporate culture.
That is a really depressing read. A person shot and killed in cold blood, and these online heros pretty much condone it. This will be awful for his family.
While I appreciate postgres flexibility this feels like a mistake. A bit like a person insisting Rust is best and using other languages are unnecessary.

You could, but it is going to force technical compromises. Even tools that can do everything aren't the best at everything.
Cool! I don’t understand what the genomic tasks it solves are. What can it actually do?

Also can we train this same model on regular language data so we can converse about the genomes? I suppose a normal multi modal model can talk about what it sees in images in english. Could we have a similar thing with genomes? Ie DNA is just another modality in a multimodal.
Yep, but I'm curious enough to quiz it.

Weirdly, today I ran wish in MacOS Sequoia (15.1.x) and had the (exception) output truncated at terminal width!
Maybe you should let go of the propaganda narrative. If there are still significant numbers of civilians in a city that's actively being shelled, especially for a country the size of Ukraine, then the authorities there are obviously morons.

From the CNN article:

> At 4 a.m. on Tuesday morning, three shells landed near the home of Hrigorii, who did not want to give his surname. He said he believes a nearby hospital was the intended target.

That's talking about artillery, that's what 'shells' are. Artillery has a very finite range. Why in God's name are their still civilians in the city, let alone WITHIN ARTILLERY RANGE? That's beyond stupid. So either these stories are complete fabrications, which is likely, or there will need to be a lot of Ukranians tried for war crimes after they finally surrender.

Such a fascinating case. No one is morally required to help find a murderer, it’s a question of virtue.

It’s a religious drive if you believe that a CEO should be the sacrificial lamb for the systems politicians have set up.
I noticed that all my edits lately were lighter and lighter, so I switched to jpeg and I am Adobe free. Thing is, no amount of postprocessing would help if photo is bad, then, when photo is good, tweaking it is not really needed.
Not everything needs to be a C-string (null-terminated array/sequence of characters.) We are advanced enough with our understanding of Things that we can include metadata along with a chunk of bytes to indicate “this is a ‘string’ and it’s q bytes long and can have any value you want in there.”

That said, I’m with you. And if someone wants nulls inside their “strings” then they probably want blobs.

Just saw that this was built for a hackathon. Huge kudos and congratulations!
This article is as newsworthy as a model card from OpenAI hyping their latest model as more "thoughtful" and "safer" and whatever other bogus criteria they claim to boost their valuation. This type of real-world experience reports offset the overblown hype and marketing surrounding these tools.

So, yes, they're very much needed and important, even if the conversations around it are repetitive. You're free to ignore them.
Than editable installs. The main sentry app takes ~10 seconds to pip install. I would not want to run that every code change. Also more painful to debug because the filenames in the stack trace no longer match to what you have open in your editor.
Taking out a tank requires a team of trained operators with multiple attack drones, reconnaissance drones (possibly deployed by a separate team), usually a minefield, and constant innovation to overcome electronic warfare and new types of improvised armor. All of this would be difficult to accomplish in a civilian context, especially under adversarial conditions.

Even if you think that this can somehow be circumvented with improvements in drone technology, think about who has an easier time using it - the state or would-be assassins.

Here's my understanding. Semi-automatic pistols predominantly rely on recoil to cycle the action, in one way or another.

If you are firing subsonic ammunition, to avoid the loud supersonic crack, then you typically get less recoil[1] compared to a firing supersonic ammunition due to the reduced speed of the bullet.

In some firearms you can replace parts such a recoil springs to get the weapon to cycle reliably with subsonic ammunition, but if that is not done you will need to manually operate the action[2].

A few firearms even supports disabling the semi-automatic action, as the sound of the action cycling can actually be quite loud in comparison to a suppressed subsonic shot.

[1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Momentum#Classical

[2]: This can be more error-prone, if the action partially cycles.
Very cool project, can I just point out something I appreciate a lot in the website that I wish more people spent their time on? The way this website keeps track on which headline I am currently on so I share that specific headline with others.
Am I the only one who thinks he wasn’t killed by a resistance hero? Wasn’t he supposed to testify the next day? All this “deny defend depose” thing is a distraction, so that the masses cheer, all the while the man was probably killed right before the only time he would have actually crossed his overlords.
Quite a few if you count GFCIs going bad, they need to be replaced periodically. (If you test them you’ll also find that they really do have a failure mode where they keep delivering power but will no longer trip, which is a lot less noticeable than when they trip and won’t reset.)

But to your actual point: I have a feeling they’re just badly engineered. Tesla ones are so much more reliable than third parties. I’m not sure if that’s because they break less or are fixed faster, and I suspect it’s some of both, but the difference is very large.

> the streets of Italy and German

Stalinists/bolsheviks hated the Socialdemocrats just as much if not more than the nazis for quite a while. Does that mean that both groups couldn’t be socialist at the same time?

After Stalin decided to (literally) bankroll the the German invasion of France the French communist party openly and directly supported Hitler and Nazi Germany. Until they suddenly become the greatest enemies again purely due to “ideological” reasons after Barbarosa..

When it comes to totalitarianism the actual ideological differences become sort of meaningless. If Stalin tells you that the Fasicsts are the good guys now or that liberals/socialists/anarchists/etc. are just as bad, well.. it means that they are. Any diversion from the (very flexible) party line is just as bad as supporting the opposite side (or occasionally even much worse).

I’m not saying that there is no difference between Fascism, Naziism or [Stalinist/Bolsvhevik] Communism, far from it. However trying to define these as some sort of coherent ideologies based on fixed beliefs and principles is somewhat pointless due to their extremely shapeshifting nature.
Ah. I thought the flag was to signal it was inappropriate so I only used it on stories like that. But I don't want to signal it shouldn't be on the main page; just that I personally don't like it: downvote would be more appropriate?

Side note: why don’t gas stations offer charging? They’re already at good locations and they could drive business to their shops and delis.

Especially if they happen to be in a an area with no other chargers around.

Don’t even be fancy. Just buy a consumer grade charger with a 220 volt outlet and have the cashier charge $20/hour or something.
Subtracting the "people" vs "men" noise, I was trying to draw the distinction between the phrasings "they don't have enough people" and "they have no people left" (in both cases to meaning available to fight).

The former suggests a situation which is quite dire, and that is certainly accurate in regard to Ukraine's current situation. The latter (if taken at face value) is essentially totalistic, and objectively misleading. That doesn't mean that that was their intent, of course. But to my ears it comes across as an overly emotionalized and in any case muddled characterization of the situation.

Kind of like when, say, a startup is going through rough times and someone says "everyone's leaving" when really it was just their friend and a couple other people who have left.

There's a word for this expressive style, btw: "histrionics".
In this particular instance I think it's less a question of virtue and more the issue of internet sleuths having an intimate understanding of the power of the internet and fearing the backlash that will be visited upon them if they participate in finding the murderer. It's a form of self-censorship.
How long are these Q&A sessions, would you say the work of ICs getting blocked isn’t worth having the manager be able to eg: advocate for that work upwards?
Yes, I'm sorry, I made a mistake.
Yes, I'm not sure how helpful it is in TFA to compare living costs against average living costs in the area and then call it a win if you're anywhere below.

If I was unemployed my living costs would be far, far below average, even allowing for the "it's expensive being poor" factors. Even when I've been in low pay jobs I've lived on very little and definitely didn't feel like I had budget for "travel" or other non-essentials.

As an employable person without work, before I reached negative bank balance I'm pretty certain I would have found a crappy job to at least slow the decline and buy more time. I can't see from this story why that hasn't been deemed necessary here.

>Intel probably still has their own implementation

Back in 2021, Intel moved the back end of their compiler toolchain to LLVM . Intel still has their own proprietary front end (icpx).

Quite the opposite. They’re explicitly not condoning:

> Another popular TikTok sleuth, thatdaneshguy [said] that he wouldn’t try to identify the killer. “I don’t have to encourage violence. I don’t have to condone violence by any means. But I also don’t have to help,” he said.

Inaction can be condoning in some cases. If there is an element of duty it certainly is. But if volunteers choose not to volunteer in a specific situation that’s their right.
Live a thug, die a thug.

He made his money killing and maiming people. Why would people mourn his death? — why would people be motivated to find his killer?

Criminals kill each other every day.
Tiktok is where people say whatever gets the most views. Its for narcissists.

There are old school web sleuthing forums filled with people taking this case seriously.
They have each made the individual choice not to invest more effort in solving the case, the same as you have probably done.
I'd rather read this kind of writing all day instead of the AI generated garbage flooding the internet.
> Being a "hacker" / "computer enthusiast" is one of the cheapest hobbies possible

Could you explain this better? It certainly used to be one of the most expensive hobbies possible, and still today you need devices that are not free. Compared to many sports who are essentially free, as long as you have shoes.

> Not "they" the "hackers / computer enthusiasts", and not insulted. Rather, it's general population that got culturally used to things on the Internet being free.

You're making a very good point. Still, the general population will just give up or pay if they cannot get what they want for free. If they're given an option like Spotify or Netflix, they will uninstall Kazaa and DC++. Hackers will spend endless effort setting up their Plex servers, and write endless paragraphs on why they shouldn't pay for a cheap subscription.

> Obviously, almost everyone younger than ~50 got exposed to the Internet when they were too young to have any income

Hackers started living on the internet when they were young and penniless, while the general population started living on the internet since about 10 years ago. I'd argue that they don't even consider their Netflix, Instagram, Facebook and TikTok to be "the internet".

> However, one of the most reliable signals here is spending. People buying stuff have money to buy stuff. The more frivolously the buy, the more money they have that could be redirected to other frivolous purchases. And that's the whole thing advertising is after - redirecting people's purchasing decisions.

I mean, in my experience the more "premium" an environment is, the less advertising you see. Both in the physical world and the cyber world. When I go to an expensive restaurant, they don't have banners with their special deals. When I watch a National Geographic documentary on YouTube premium, there are no sponsor breaks.

> "Free" is the singularity of commerce, it breaks competition; "free but subsidized by ads" is an anti-competitive business model. It won not because people demanded it, but because no one can compete with it.

"Free" breaks the mind of most people. If people were given the option between the best beer in the world for $10 and a low quality beer for free, almost everybody would choose the free beer. If they were given the option of a great beer for a dollar or free low quality beer, they would be lining up around the block for the free beer. But there's always a segment of people who are resistant to the allure of "free" and spend a few bucks for something better. That doesn't mean they're rich. It just means they value their time and mind more.
Disgusting. Everyone has the freedom to say what they think. Justifying extra-judicial murder because of policy difference shows that you have no principles, and only go along with what will keep you popular with your tribe.

Everyone celebrates "justice" against the "bad guys" via vigilante violence until they are next against the wall.
This is fascinating info I hadn’t read before. What was he going to testify?
Your rage is misattributed: the media stories were based on what the police were saying. The reason they were at that gun shop in Connecticut is because _they_ thought it might be an unusual type of gun which would be extremely useful for narrowing down a suspect pool measured in millions.

That doesn’t mean it was a serious theory - if you have the resources of the NYPD, you might have a couple officers working on any possible angle for a case this high-profile – and it certainly wouldn’t be the first time “sources” was someone spouting off to impress a reporter.
No, I mean DD-MM-YYYY. We use the same format with the vast majority of Europe.
That is very ambiguous phrasing.

If this is true, it's a valid criticism. I hear you. I think it is downright thoughtless to mislead the layman into thinking LLMs can be "thoughtful" by anthropomorphizing them! To all companies that are doing this, seriously, stop dressing up a statistical token generator as if it's some kind of sentient philosopher.
