A social life is a dynamic, changing thing. "Full" vs. "empty" is an obvious way of measuring it, but I think "stagnant" vs. "dynamic" is a more important metric that we don't take into account as readily.

It's quite possible to have a "full" but stagnant social life (which is where I think some older software folks with families are finding themselves). It's also possible to have a dynamic social life without large numbers of people involved.

To avoid stagnancy, you always need new friends. This doesn't mean you have to kick others out. It just means accepting the natural flow of friends and relationships in and out of our lives, and accepting that this is something we don't have full control of.
Regarding "car", there is a third option: "auto", which if I am not mistaken, is the preferred word in the Southern Cone.

But yes, it is mostly a difference of vocabulary, accent and pronunciation, and also how or if to translate the names of characters and the movies themselves.
I've seen a number of blog posts that have eye-catching banners at the top that indicate that the post was either updated with new info, or say that the post is outdated with a link to a follow-up entry. Those are always nice to see since it shows that not only is the info up to date, but also that the author cares enough to keep their posts relevant to their audience
The population has been thoroughly and effectively trained to be apolitical.
My main concern with the simplification of memorization or near neighbor interpolation that is commonly assumed for LLMs is that these methods are ineffective at scale and unlikely to be used by decoder transformers in practice. That paper shows that the decoder transformer somehow came up with a better decision tree fitting algorithm for low data cases than any of the conventional or boosted tree solutions humans typically use from XGBoost or similar libraries. It also matched the best known algorithms for sparse linear systems. All this while training on sequences of random x1, y1, x2, y2,.. with y for each sequence generated by a new random function of a high-dimensional input x every time. The authors show that KNN does not cut it, and even suboptimal algorithms do not suffice. Not sure what else you need as evidence that decoder transformers can use programs to compress information.
AI-generated "art" (it's not art at all in my eyes) is effectively a machine-based reproduction of actual art, but doesn't take the same skill level, time, and passion for the craft for a user to be able to generate an output, and certainly generates large profits for those that created the models.

(Shrug) Artists were wrong when they said the same thing about cameras at the dawn of photography, and they're wrong now.

If you expect to coast through life while everything around you stays the same, neither art nor technology is a great career choice.

What is your purpose of publishing where having the content used to train AI is a problem? Are you trying to gatekeep information that's not even protected by copyright anyway? Are you worried your potential audience will get the same thing (including your personal creativity) from AI that just copied your work so they don't recognize your name and develop some brand awareness? Or do you just not like AI and don't want to help it? Maybe you could build your own paywall or other technical access restriction instead of making it freely available? Even just a captcha should block AI training scrapers, shouldn't it?
No it’s not condescending to highlight the author hasn’t indicated they have learned from the broader set of circumstances that led to this bug in the first place. Ripping out a feature is a first step not the only step.

I mention emotional attachment twice because twice to logical and attempted factual comments I’ve gotten emotional comments back verging on attacking me personally. I don’t use iterm2 nor is it a piece of software that takes up any mindspace for me but attacking this aggressively anyone even mildly critical because you feel like you’re part of this minority group and you need to defend yourself because you feel constantly attacked is tribalism, not empathy and appreciation.
How are syntax/structure enforced? Scratch/Blockly uses shapes to ensure things work, while node editors will disallow invalid connections.
They treat CLIs as a subclass of TUIs. Underneath it all it is just a high-level decoupling API to replace ncurses/readline/.... The output becomes a window with a packed-text buffer format. You can mix and match graphical windows with TUI(CLI) ones in the same client.

The real glory of it is the math – it’s using Webassembly to calculate the reference orbit, and then the GPU to calculate all the pixels, but with an enormous amount of fussing to get around the fact that shaders only have 32 bit floats. The interface works on mobile and desktop, but if you have any tips on how to polish it, let me know.
This would be a very nice Linux workstation. Not going to rush right out and get one soon, but something to keep an eye on.

The design and programming concepts are related to programming, which is part of the software name Programming Without Coding Technology (PWCT). While coding involves writing textual code directly, Visual Programming Languages (VPLs) like Scratch and PWCT still require knowledge of programming concepts and problem-solving. However, they simplify the implementation process by reducing syntax errors and providing a graphical user interface (GUI) that can be in any human language. Visual components increase the level of abstraction, potentially reducing development time.

PWCT2 is influenced by:

1- Lava visual language - Using the TreeView

2- Forms/3 - Using the Data-Entry forms

3- Scratch - Blocks, Colors, and Translation

4- Visual Basic - Form Designer

5- Envision - Rich comments & Interactive Visualization

6- PWCT1

6.1 Graphical Code Replacement (GCR) method instead of drag and drop

6.2 PWCT1 - The Time Machine (Run programs in the past & Play programs as a movie)

PWCT2 introduces more features compared to PWCT1, such as importing Ring code, inserting steps, and more.

> Remote work couldn't have solved anything.

It couldn't solve everything, that doesn't mean it can't solve anything.

My experience in rural areas (northern canada) has been the opposite of yours.

Locals welcome remote workers because the alternative is bidding up housing over vacation homes that sit empty.

Remote workers give back to the community through civic engagement and injecting their income into it year round. Anyone not in that mindset of integrating with the community typically doesn't stay past their first winter.

Locals are also the ones to decide if/when/where they advertise real estate to outsiders. Locals always get first dibs via word of mouth so there isn't as much resentment.

But maybe that is the difference between rural communities and remote communities?

Yes, but the more we mix sieve rejection into candidate selection the more we complicate the rule of thumb. "Reject even numbers as prime candidates" is probably OK to leave as an exercise for the reader, as is the equivalent "round every candidate to odd" optimization. The point about random vs sequential is well taken, though, and it doesn't complicate the rule of thumb, so I changed it.

All the YT creators are making a stink about this because surprise surprise, honey was stealing from them, not their viewers.

It's one of those open secrets that most youtube-peddled services are predatory in some way, and the creators happily kept pushing them on to their viewers because money talks. Now it turns out Honey is hurting their own bottom lines, so of course they all get on their moral high horses.
Thanks for clarifying. There must be more subtlety in the "end goal" of membership.

> people ultimately need to feel valued by their tribe

To the extent that people want to remain in a group ("tribe"), I agree.

But this holds only when people feel that they gain value from the group (or tribe). For some members, the sense of gain may be conspicuous prestige, but for other members it may be a humble gain or an unnoticed (inconspicuous) gain.

The quieter members (in O.P.'s narcissistic terminology, the "NPCs" in his company) may have insights that completely escape the O.P. and other prestige-seekers.

Russian nationalism/imperialism is a powerful drug that is hard for Russians to unchain their minds from. So even if the intellectuals don't like Putin, Russia becoming a client state of China or wars as such, most of them dislike independent Ukraine even more. Solzhenitsyn, Brodsky, Navalny etc etc.

Besides, Russia is "winning" Western elections, and who doesn't like to be on the winning team.

Oh yeah, I was talking from my perspective as somebody more established in the industry.

I definitely think that if you’re just getting started, especially if you don’t have the typical college degree and internships, side projects are a great way to demonstrate your skills.

Is it possible to search immich images via spotlight like one can from iCloud photos? I’d love to jump ship away from iCloud but spotlight search is legitimately helpful and I use it many times a week.

Trailing commas actually have an important role.

Let’s say you have some code :

const foo = {
x: 1,
y: 2,
};

and you want to add a field :

const foo = {
x: 1,
y: 2,
z: 3,
};

Without trailing commas, the diff is

- y: 2
+ y: 2,
+ z: 3

With trailing commas :

+ z: 3,

The second diff is actually much clearer at what’s happening.

This is why it irritates me when people forget the trailing comma. It’s not a problem in the moment. But I know it will be a small but avoidable cognitive burden on the next PR (wait, why did "y" changed ? Oh, right, it didn’t).
Thanks for your kind words

To run the software without steam, install Ring language (Windows/Linux/macOS) then run it directly from the source code: https://github.com/PWCT/pwct2?tab=readme-ov-file#running-pwc...

In terms of adding more graphical/symbolic elements, we will address this in PWCT3. Additionally, publishing the PWCT2 source code will enable developers to extend the software in various directions based on their vision.
No idea what Tor and Gnutella have to do with throttling by Google as it's a totally different issues that has nothing to do with what we're talking about.

You're comparing apples to oranges.
It's getting very philosophical, without a (perhaps impossibly complex/fraught) model of real-world programmers using all available languages doing just what you ask there is no way to find the sweet-spot. I've given some rules of thumb why python still rules and why things in general favor standard forms easily reviewable by humans and peppered with magic only understandable by geeks.

edit: you've removed a line while I was resonding like: "maybe go is a sweet-spot"

I think if you are looking to replace python as a runtime you'd maybe be better off arguing for safety, python is much more easily corruptible so if maybe you don't trust your machine(s) you are training on and don't want to be mislead by someone hacking your initializations then arguably running a compiled program with certain guarantees is safer.
Alexander Dugin is one intellectual I can think of, but the change he is talking about is not about changing Russian's current course, but rather paving the way forward given the current Russian regime's course.

I pride myself on the quality of docs that I produce and my "secret" is enlisting guinea pigs. Before linking somebody to the doc(s) they need, I'll send them a message akin to "if you get stuck at literally any point or encounter literally any error or shell output that does not match what's in the docs, stop and message me. We'll work it out together and the docs will be better for the next person"

Do that a few times and you have a high-quality document that'll cover the process and any known edge cases.

The critical bit is that the person that needs the doc is already not having an awesome day; make it clear to them that you're here to help and not in a "come to me after you've spent 2 hours trying to make it work" way.
It's THE description of what it is, so I have no idea what you're talking about.

25% of Youth Experienced Homelessness in Denver in 2021
That is based on 2 studies, one of which puts the US as one of the least racist countries and the other puts the US as among the most racist. Something is wrong.

The US is very racist by self reported observation of racism. However citizens of different countries have different definitions of racism.

If you use a constant definition of racism like “Would you live next to people of another race, yes/no?” Then you find that almost all Americans say yes (low racism) . In some other countries over 70% of people would not live next to a person of another race.

2. (Syntax Directed Editor) which prevent errors.

In PWCT2 at the current stage we provide (Free Editor), The (VPL Compiler) will be added to detect errors and the SDE will be added to prevent them as we did in PWCT1.

Ask HN: Is all feature development R&D now?
In the US, given that the R&D expense amortization requirement has not been clawed back, are you all treating feature development as an R&D expense?

I've been advised that any feature development is R&D, even if it's not technically novel.

This doesn't line up with my internal view of what R&D is, but curious if this is how everyone else is dealing with it?

What you're making is an argument that Congress should pass a law regulating the ISPs as if they were RBOCs†. The Telecommunications Act of 1996 refers specifically to the "Bell Operating Companies", and does so because of the antitrust-enforced divestment of those very specific companies from AT&T. They're not an abstract concept in the law, and the FCC can't just say "it would make sense if the law was extended to ISPs too". That's Congress's job.

† or something; the 1996 Act actually de-regulates the RBOCs.
Your first task is definitely not what I would call a "menial" task.

Are Golang slices dynamic arrays or fat pointers? (2024)
I know there are a bunch of laptops that have good support for Linux, but I'm talking one more level deep than that. Good support for Coreboot UEFI is hard to come by, and FOSS EC firmware (this makes laptop specific features possible) to my knowledge is unique to System76.

Those two components are the unique selling propositions System76 has over your standard Linux-ready laptop. And they aren't quite unique when you realize System76 is commissioning laptops from the likes of Clevo.

E: I know I just rehashed by last comment a little bit, but it felt like the point didn't come across properly. I was supporting the mention that the Linux-first USP of S76 wasn't strong enough, and building on top of it.
>I mean, clearly it was above sea level, right?

Probably not by much. Think like Louisiana but with dinosaurs.
I'm fully aware, ISPs always want Big Tech to pay more or in lieu of that save on costs themselves at the cost of big tech (stuff like limiting streaming resolutions) and they're willing to use controls not compatible with net neutrality to do both.
