It's the overemployment fraud. People have become too good at it. I bet most who work from home now, practice it and some make huge amounts of money by basically defrauding their multiple employers. Companies naturally want to put a definite end to this.

Not sure if anyone else has seen this, but I found a word game called Green Skinned Pear the other day, and it’s surprisingly fun.

You basically fill in words to complete phrases, and it starts off easy but gets tricky in a really satisfying way. The design is super simple—no ads, no fluff, just puzzles.

If you’re into stuff like Wordle or crossword puzzles, it’s definitely worth checking out. Here’s the link: greenskinnedpear.com

Would love to hear if anyone else has tried it or has similar games to recommend!
Just drop them a line and ask whether they plan to publish their research in a more formal way.

In my experience scientists respond pretty well.

I'm not attacking anyone. It's a clone and I would like to know its purpose. Like "Why? Why mention ReactJS and other projects? What are you adding to the other conventions?"

Also you're wrong when you say "Yes, commit messages should be in English" because a lot of companies do not have English commit messages yet use conventional commits.

Last but not least because it’s ridiculous enough so far: why buy a whole domain name for this? Also 3 different kinds of analytics for what should be a static page on a blog? Do you need money or something?
This is a great idea, but still the problem of a small subset of rich people just not caring.
Ask HN: AI coding tools like bolt.new or V0 for apps/Xcode?
Are there similar tools to Bolt.new or v0 for coding in XCode and building Appstore Apps?
Yes but their conclusion is "well our hypothesis is probably still right, we just didn't look hard enough" rather than "maybe it doesn't have a significant effect".
GPUs benefit from extremely high memory bandwidth. RBAR helps, but it's a lot worse than a fat bus to a bunch of on-card GDDR6X.

A PCIe 4.0x16 link gives 32 GB/s bandwidth; an RTX 4090 has over 1 TB/s bandwidth to its on-card memory.
Wow crazy that ggm's root comment was flagged on this tiny post (3 - 4 upvotes). Sure it was a little strident but it wasn't abusive. Yet it was flagged dead. Crazy. And my comments were downvoted. Pretty weird. The long arm of information suppression even stretches into HN. smh.

Yea this is pretty annoying how hard it is to discover the sample size and methodology.

Is this even published/peer reviewed or did it just go to TV?

I'm extremely skeptical of accepting results/conclusions at face is this whole thing is around a show?

I’d love to try this.

But… I’ve connected my Yamaha P-515 electric piano to my iPad, and it doesn’t show in the app’s “MIDI keyboard” dropdown.

Lots of Googling comes up with nothing helpful - or understandable, at least, to me, a novice when it comes to MIDI.

I’m writing this feedback, not because I want tech support, but because maybe it is helpful that a keen would-be user simply can’t get started.
There are 8 billion people whose "things" I am not interested in discovering. Why would I be interested in a random person's things just because they happened to be physically proximate?
This was the policy at my school ~20 years ago. “Smartphones” didn’t exist, but mobile phones were ubiquitous and every kid owned one. But they weren’t allowed in the classroom, and if you were found to have one in the classroom (even if it was switched off in your pocket), it would immediately be confiscated and you wouldn’t get it back until at least the next day.

Why would any school not have this policy? What possible reason is there to allow phones in the classroom? How is this even a debate?

Their middle-aged and elderly are still alive and there aren't nearly enough children to replace them. Their coming collapse is already visible when you look at an age breakdown (assuming they don't open up to immigration or have a baby boom very soon), even though the contraction in the population overall is currently small.

I keep coming back to the sites on my phone's browser. I have tried using various firewall applications to block network traffic. But it's hilariously easy to get around them.
Previously I've always been very skeptical of rosy pictures of a possible future where "everyone has an ai that's there to accomplish tasks for them" - given that I imagined such ai (if it ever came to exist) being run by the usual big tech who have their own incentives not so cleanly aligned with our own.

Right now, with the availability of open weights for cutting-edge models, it feels like this wave of technological advance is pleasantly decentralised however. I can download and run a model and tinker with things which at least feel like the seeds of such a future, where I _might_ be able to build things with my own interests at heart.

But what happens if these models stop being shared, and how likely is that? Reading about the vast quantities of compute deployed to train them, replicating the successes of the main players with a community of volunteers just seems an order of magnitude less achievable than traditional OSS efforts like Linux. This wave feels so tied to massive scale for its success, what do we do if big-tech stop handing out models?

I think you might have responded to the wrong comment. card_zero's reading comprehension appears to be fine. I'm not sure about yours though - the study didn't find any effect of phone use on cognition so why would time without a phone help reading comprehension?
This is only true if one assumes that (a) physical processes are fundamentally completely deterministic, and that (b) it is possible to measure the initial state of a system to at least the same level of precision as the factors that influence the outcome.

Assumption (a) is currently believed to be false in the case of measuring a quantum system: to the best of our current knowledge, the result of measuring a quantum system is a perfectly random sampling of a probability distribution determined by its wave function.

Assumption (b) is also believed to be false, and is certainly known to be false in many practical experiments. Especially given that measurement is a time-consuming process, events that happen at a high frequency may be fundamentally unpredictable on computational grounds (that is, measuring the initial state to enough precision and then computing a probability may be physically impossible in the time that it takes for the event to happen - similar to the concept of computational irreducibility).

So, even in theory, the outcomes of certain kinds of experiments are probabilistic in a way that is entirely observer-independent; this is especially true in quantum mechanics, but it is also true in many types of classical experiments.

It is a failure of regulation, but that regulation was promulgated by the regulated through lobbying. They come out and say "no, we want to fix healthcare too, we get your frustration and anger!" (only after a CEO was shot and killed) while they slip money and a wish list into the politicians' pockets. It's not a "can't" fight incentives situation; they won't fight them because they created them!

Then through their PR departments, they sow discord by trying to persuade everyone to think it's everyone else's fault. It's the pharmaceutical companies (it is). It's the providers (true, but they are also the providers). It's the politicians (yes, the one's they lobbied). What they don't want people to think is that they are all working together to fuck us over. So the pharmaceutical companies and the providers and the politicians likewise, through their PR departments, blame everyone else.

THEN, in this entirely unworkable system, the one they have control of, where they get to decide what is and isn't considered murder, the ruling class has the audacity to chastise the public for cheering on the death of an avatar that represents the system.
How do you know you're building the right thing? Who is paying your salary? Are you regularly talking to all stakeholders? Congrats, now most of your time is spent in meetings. You don't want that? Now you have to talk to project and product managers, who don't want to reinvent the wheel and thus impose structured information exchanges like planning on different time horizons (sprints, quarterly roadmaps, ..).
If I could afford to send my kids to private school, I would happily pay a premium for a school with a strict anti-phone-policy. Not least because I’d want to find a place where the other parents are on the same side as me on this issue.
I’m a bit out of my area on the details: but I have CUDA kernels in PyTorch and I’ve moved around much, much bigger codebases. I write kernels and build others.

I don’t doubt that it’s a lot of work to maintain a clean userland and present a good interface with clean link ABIs. The people who pull it off and make it look easy are called names like Linus.

But the “everything is buggy” argument is an argument about institutions, not software artifacts. We know how to throw test and fuzz on a component and bang it into shape. Now this is a question of both resources and intention.

But NVIDIA’s market cap is like 4 trillion bucks or something.

I want perfect or a firing squad at that number.
The ones listed as "Thunderbolt / USB 4" ie. not Thunderbolt 3, 4 or 5, appear to be exactly the models that are limited to one external display (I'm not 100% sure about the iMacs). The models you mention with M4 and M4 Pro are all capable of driving multiple external displays, and the difference between TB4 and TB5 for those models is one of the maximum data rate (40Gb/s vs 80Gb/s with an asymmetrical 120Gb/s mode).

But I've never actually read a Thunderbolt spec, so I can't be sure exactly what disqualifies those "Thunderbolt / USB 4" from being advertised with a more recent Thunderbolt version number.
Yeah, I've rarely seen a bedroom without them. Candles or a flashlight would work great too. This is a long solved problem.

> Terrible search without AI is a bit of a stretch.

How so? I was looking for a photo of a grave I took some years ago. In Google photos I just searched for "grave" and if found 2 photos, including the one I wanted.

Without AI I would have to search all my photos. Maybe I could narrow it down by date and location but it would take a lot longer.
The argument is that, instead of hiring a junior engineer, a senior engineer can simply produce enough output to match what the junior would have produced and then some.

Of course, that means you won't be able to train them up, at least for now. That being said, even if they "only" reach the level of your average software developer, they're already going to have pretty catastrophic effects on the industry.

As for automated fixes, there are agents that _can_ do that, like Devin (https://devin.ai/), but it's still early days and bug-prone. Check back in a year or so.
Interesting study, I wonder if it could be easily replicated!
I hope not. I owned a lot of shares in companies and it will fund my retirement (same as it will fund almost everyone's retirement).

The economic status thing is interesting. I can’t help but wonder if there’s bias there.

I uploaded a picture of me and a friend. I am Caucasian, he is of African descent. It said that my attire indicated I was of a higher socio-economic status than him. I was wearing a black t-shirt with a worn print. He was wearing a shirt and sports jacket.
A mere engineering problem.
given how Western models have their own biases, it occurs to me that we might be better off with a panel of models playing mock UN to cover everything.
Western countries are already clean enough. Very far from what it was in the 70s and earlier. There is a point of diminishing returns for everything. After that is seems to be more about returns to the individuals that claim to be for the cause, than to society as a whole.

There are orders of magnitude more serious threats to the future of humanity than climate change, such a imminent war. In part due to resource shortages, like energy, which in part was caused by prioritising misguided policies inspired by those same ideas.
Capitalism sounds dope. I hope I live to see it.

Try calling Kotlin co-routines from Java, fully interoperable is it not.

Additionally I really dislike the anti-Java discourse in Kotlin circles, as if Kotlin was able to stand on its own, without the Java ecosystem, or Google's making it Java replacement on Android.

It looks like this might be the original paper by Kay, can anyone provide a link that isn’t behind a paywall?

The Linux kernel only compiles with GCC the last I heard though. Also the libc is probably different, so I suspect it'd be trickier than expected.
At my last job we had many slackers who were masters at schmoozing. They were great at being seen around the office, but terrible at actually delivering anything.

Others in this thread do believe that entropy is a subjective measure, or more precisely a measurement of the information that an observer has about a system instead of a measurement about the state of the system itself. Information theory easily leads to this interpretation, since for example the informational content of a stream of bytes can very much be observer-dependent. For example, a perfectly encrypted stream of all 1s will appear to have very high entropy for anyone who doesn't know the decryption process and key, while in some sense it will be interpreted as a stream with entropy 0 by someone who knows the decryption process and key.

Of course, the example I gave is arguable, since the two observers are not actually observing the same process. One is looking at enc(x), the other is looking at x. They would both agree that enc(x) has high entropy, and x has low entropy. But this same kind of phenomenon doesn't work with physical entropy. A gas is going to burn my hand or not regardless of how well I know its microstates.

Love the revenge of plugins.

We might have lost a decade since Unreal was running on Flash Crossbridge, yet thanks to Web trying to be a app platform to replace native apps, we are back full circle.

Java, .NET have their plugins back, even if with additional turtles along the stack, and stuff like Flutter are the new Flash.

I guess, thanks to all WebGL, WebGPU and WebAssembly folks
> Now you have to talk to project and product managers, who don't want to reinvent the wheel and thus impose structured information exchanges like planning on different time horizons (sprints, quarterly roadmaps, ..).

The people who don't write code also have an inherent bias to make their own contribution look as big as possible though because they want the most money. So do the people who write code as well I guess, which is the whole exercise of trying to make what we do as relevant as possible.

I don't think OP is saying don't talk to anyone. I think he is saying if there are three identified paths forward, stop spinning your wheels or have some non-technical person make a choice for you, implement all of them and let the data decide.

> SWIPED: The School That Banned Smartphones is a landmark two-part documentary series, produced by BOLDPRINT Studios, which tackles the timely issue of the impact of smartphones on children’s behaviour.

Through a groundbreaking social experiment that challenges a group of teenagers to give up their smartphones for 21 days, SWIPED is exploring the impact of technology on mental health, social skills, and academic performance.

In a world increasingly dominated by screens, SWIPED dives into the heart of a bold experiment at The Stanway School. Led by celebrity couple Matt and Emma Willis, a group of Year 8 students are forced to confront the reality of life without their constant companions: smartphones.

For three weeks, these young participants willingly surrendered their devices, stepping into a digital detox. As they navigated this unfamiliar territory, cameras captured their evolving experiences, revealing surprising insights into the profound influence of technology on their lives.

Guided by experts from the University of York, the documentary delves into the science behind smartphone addiction, examining how these devices impact sleep patterns, attention spans, and social interactions. Through a series of tests and challenges, the students’ mental and emotional states are meticulously monitored, shedding light on the potential benefits of a technology-free existence.
SWIPED is more than just a documentary; it’s an invitation to rethink our relationship with technology and prioritise our mental, emotional, and social well-being.
Which part of that claim; that Japanese appreciate craftsmanship, or that iOS is crafted?
I've wanted to try writing a Linux driver in Nim for fun.

I've ported and used Nim in a couple of RTOS'es and it's pretty straightforward. Of course there wouldn't be official support or anything, but it wouldn't be too hard. Mapping pointers to Nims RC refs would be a bit tricky, but doable.
I don't understand what you guys are doing. For me sonnet is great when I'm starting with a framework or project but as soon as I start doing complicated things it's just wrong all the time. Subtly wrong, which is much worse because it looks correct, but wrong.
Great points! Why didn’t I think of that? You must be way smarter than me!
Why would food at McDonalds be any nutritionally less valuable than food at home?! After all, food is food, and there is nothing stopping someone from having home cooked food at a McDonalds.
most people spend a lot of money on healthcare as they age. Many times this is emergency stuff that’s unplanned and not possible to shop for, or it’s just flat out expensive to care for. Stuff like falling at home and breaking a hip, cancer, heart attack, dementia care, etc. Once you’re admitted into the hospital it’s game over. You think someone is going to shop around while in a hospital bed connected to IV’s? That’s crazy talk.

A little boo boo or an urgent care visit can be shopped for, sure, but that’s all cheap stuff compared to emergency or end of life care! That’s the stuff people actually stress about in my opinion. So why not fix that?

Another example: a mother “shops around” to find a cheap place to deliver her baby. Great! But maybe she’s unlucky and needs emergency C-section or another emergency intervention. What good is shopping around if it’s not actually practical?
Doing challenging intellectual activity on a phone is possible, but it's a very small portion of what people actually do when they pick up said phone.

Phones are wonderful objects full of possibility, but in this context they're objects of mass distractions. That's 99.9% of their reality. Nothing wrong with normalising them as such.

Cocaine might be wonderfully productive for certain people, but that's not how it should be broadly discussed when we talk about its usage.
They were running, not going to, until Java 8.

While Java Kernel did improve download times against Flash, the latter tooling was much better, and still downloaded faster.

Had it not been for Apple and iOS forbidden, mostly due to app store than security concerns, and classical plugins would be around.

Since browsers never contended themselves with being document only, leaving the rest for native apps, now we have plugins back.
