That's very interesting, I wasn't aware of this feature. I Googled and on Samsung smartphones it seems to be called "Motion Photo". I'll check it out later, thanks for the tip.
Korea is not the best example to prove your point. SK is per capita equivalent to Japan[1]. The Korean War was a tie and in the long run it’s clear which side is better off.

In practice, our head of state here in Australia is the governor-general.[1] That role is largely ceremonial too.

Anyway, I tend to agree with the sentiment that, in ascending order of silly accents, Canadians, English, Irish, Australian, and Kiwis, share a common culture and work ethic.

I dunno how anyone can take New Zealanders seriously, if you’ve ever heard one speak you’d surely agree.[2] I’m gonna blame the Dutch, the silly bastards.

Is there any particular reason why this straightforward implementation of a well-known PRNG (published by Marsaglia 20 years ago) is worth being linked from HN's first page?
It's like people have already forgotten why people used the non-human beings in Westworld. One of the first things we're going to use them for is amusement and having them represent anything sentimental or sensitive is going to make them a target like this. It was irresponsible.

There's something essentially wrong with Meta and Google where they can do tech but not products anymore. I'd argue it's because the honest human desire that drives a product dies or is refined out of initiatives by the time it gets through the optimization process of their org structure. Nothing is going to survive there unless it's an arbitrage or using leverage on the user, and the things that survive are uncanny and weird because they are no longer expressions of something someone wants.

These avatars ticked all the boxes, but when they arrived, people laughed at them because objectively they were bureaucratic abominations.
The cost of land is a minor part of the cost of a PV field. As for wind, it uses only a small fraction of the land in which a wind field is placed, because the turbines have to be spaced so they don't interfere with each other.
That statement is not being discussed as it is obvious. The question is "can AI be a developer", not "am I a developer if I use an AI who is a developer".
Honestly, I don't think it's possible.
Wrapping file i/o in actors is exactly what we do in the Goblins distributed programming system. It ensures that only one operation is happening against the file descriptor at any given time while allowing other actors to use it asynchronously.
The demographic issue is the big one.

But there are several others that show up in serious financial circles. Particularly the domestic fiscal policy around debt and investment, currency liberalization and entrepreneurial risk vs reward.

The Chinese government is walking a very fine line with their private enterprise policies and it’s not one that is well understood. But there is quite a bit of concern that if China gets more autocratic it may hinder further productivity and growth (right as the demographic issue hits in earnest).
I shot a lot of film in the last five years. Production coming up is a good thing but I don't know if it's going to lower prices enough to make it viable for casual use especially when you factor in how absurdly expensive developing and scanning has gotten as all but a few labs remain. Many of us are slowly working through stockpiles from years ago because we can't tolerate the crazy prices film goes for today

And pedestrian fatalaities. Although to be fair the autobahn is more fun than the highway.
Not that this is a new idea - when was the term "rat race" coined? - but I imagine that part of the issue is people who are so caught up in their unexamined expectations that they don't have the wherewithal to question them. You then factor in that the examining and decision-making is taken up by people with a lot more money or political influence. Such is the genesis of, say, white flight (and maybe even "manifest destiny"). Doesn't absolve participants of culpability, but helps us to understand the how and a bit of the why.

Yes! I agree. It's a problem. This is the ticket --

It is radically un-hard at this point. People _still_ quote 'deplorables'[0] to me, after nearly ten years. Combine that kind of attitude from the left with right-wing's ability to use rhetoric to make folks feel as though they're welcomed by the republican party in spite of democratic messaging, and you've got your magic. The left is doing half of the work for them, ironically.

We've got a penchant in the states for viewing the whole of the 'working class' as these 'right-wing, nutcase deplorables'. A gang of under- or un-educated people just waiting to be radicalized. We look down on these people and disregard their concerns ( see the article's dignity of work re: removing jobs vs creating lower prices ). When you do that, you alienate people. When the other party has a knack for alienating people, all you need to do is open the net.

Pretty sure the parent is talking about overlooked nations. Nations no one even fights a war over. Probably referring to things like China going "all in" on under-developed African nations.

Can you elaborate?

What would it mean, then for one art technology to be more "authentic" than another?

How could you ever say that film images were more authentic than digital images? Would you say watercolors are more authentic than oil, or vice-versa?

I can understand how one filmmaker might capture a more "authentic" experience of a topic in their movie than another, via their knowledge and written script and direction. Someone who deeply understands their subject.

But I fail to understand how shooting on film vs digital would change that (unless you're aiming for a certain historical look).
Film teaches you to value and think about what you are shooting with it. It also has a certain aesthetic that to younger generations has a retro look.

35mm cameras are still quite affordable, can’t say I blame people for wanting to shoot film!

Maybe this will help reel in medium and large format film prices, where film really can do unique things that digital sensors still can’t quite capture.

That said I love the Nikon Z I have.
Unfortunately I still don't see a response to this.
I don't understand what point you're trying to make. Life never appeared on Venus or Mars as far as we know.

Is there an explanation somewhere of how JPL knows/receives the latest satellite position data?

I think I've read about maneuvers being sent in advance, but once a maneuver (or flyby) actually happens (which may result in deviations from the plan), how (fast) does the ephemeris data actually align with reality through measurement of the actual spacecraft position and speeds again?
I come from quite a small town and to my surprise there are still shops that develop film for roughly the same price point as twenty years ago. I guess they have a lot of those older people who never "got on with the times" and were able to always make a living out of it. Travelling 200km to the big town and prices to develop film more than quadrupled in the same time.
Once you figure out what your issues are, you might however find yourself going to therapists with the questions “what are we to do or what am I to do about it?” And finding they have no answer. Just, “yea it’s a process…”
New 'Hades' moray eel discovered by accident
This is great news! Kodak Tri-X is one of my favorite films. Hope the price does come down though.
Our 1 mln line legacy project was written without type hints, often preferring arbitrary arrays with keys, and so:

1) despite having tests, almost every day there's some bug in production because code expects data X but it receives data Y - this class of bugs is entirely non-existent in strict/static languages

2) to have some degree of control, they added a linter which infers and validates types, but it doesn't catch everything (see #1) and this step takes like 5 minutes - defeating the whole idea of "dynamic languages don't need compilation so you're faster with them", because modern static compiled languages can compile incrementally in a few seconds and you already have 100% type information without waiting for 5 minutes each time

3) refactoring code is very hard, because without proper typing, it's hard to find all instances of usage of data X or property X without manually researching tons of code (data flow); in languages with proper typing, IDE can find it all immediately, but ours fails to catch a lot of stuff

So in the end, in my experience:

1) lack of types allows for quicker debugging/hotfixing if you don't care about data/logic validity (because you don't run tests or linters anyway)

2) you waste more time and suffer more in the rest of the situations

So we started adding type hints all over the place, and banned arbitrary arrays with "magic" keys in public APIs.

I sincerely don't understand people who push against using types, it's like they never worked on large projects in teams, or never maintained a project for more than a few months. Or maybe they have some secret sauce I'm not aware of?
I use them every single day. Because I maintain the folder hierarchy, I remember how to descend the folders to find what I need.

Years of experience has taught me that relying on loose tagging webs and searching mechanisms and fancy tools does not work for me, not for notes, not for emails, not for anything else. I organize things into nested hierarchies. This takes maintenance, but so does maintaining tag webs and using the tools to maintain and mine them.

For something that espouses some of these principles (though I do not use this system):

Both Canada and Mexico are guilty of this. For years they would import products and do some light assembly and label it as Made in Canada or Mexico. Since Canada gives China Most Favored Nation status, importers can avoid duties and export into the USA since there is a Free Trade Agreement(NAFTA). It took a while for US Customs to crack down on this but it finally did and they now pay very close attention to where the origin of the item was. Unfortunately it went on long enough to destroy many American industries. Canada and Mexico made 100's of billions of these schemes at the USA's expense.

The expressing of emotion comes with a lot of side benefits: the other person becomes aware of your feelings (yes, people generally don’t know how you feel about something). They will respect your boundaries better.

You can tell they've never dealt with a person with narcissistic / sociopathic personality disorder. You express your emotions to them, all it does is provide them with a crystal clear signal of how to push your red buttons and believe me they will.

A lot of therapy is based on the assumption that "we're all the same" or "we all mean well" but it's simply not true. There's real scum out there.

You are answering your own question, I think. Yes you want to keep emails unless obviously you think they may be incriminating.

What you're describing is the siren call of No Code, which has been tempting manager-types for decades and which has so far failed every single time.

The trouble with No Code is that your first paragraph is already my job description: I plan out and document and refine the structure of a problem and its architectural solution while simultaneously developing the system itself. The "sufficient explanation of the goals/problem" is the code—anything less is totally insufficient. And once I have the code, it is both the fully-documented problem and the spec for the solution.

I won't pretend to know the final end state for these tools, but it's definitely not that engineers will write natural-language specs and the LLMs will translate them, because code (in varying degrees of high- and low-level languages) is the preferred language for solution specification for a reason. It's precise, unambiguous, and well understood by all engineers on a project. There is no need to be filled by swapping that out with natural language unless you're taking engineers out of the loop entirely.

Danger is the nature of this kind of "sport". Friend & I were hitch hiking thru Albania, we ran into a "carbage" race from Poland to Greece. Both of had to travel in different cars (and our backpacks in a third), because otherwise the vehicles wouldn't make it uphill. We've passed by another team who have lost a wheel (it fell off and rolled down a hill at night - effectively got irretrievably lost); they didn't have a spare, so they just sold their car for something like €25.

Fun times.
Slide films, which are what I was most familiar with, tended to have a certain look. You had warmer films (originally Lumiere?), more naturalistic films (Kodachrome especially), whatever Velvia was which I never liked... Of course, speed/grian/contrast factored in as well.
As a web developer and AI advocate, I'm going to say no. Web design and web tech have converged on several standards and frameworks and they are everywhere in human-coded websites. Most human made sites have terrible UI design and spaghetti code underneath.

Since LLMs can only predict the next most likely token (a word of code, in this case), they're going to produce what's in their training -- which is all those badly designed sites.

So if you see a bad site today, it's probably human-made from a template.

I think what's missing is that this an extremely low level programming model:

Upon receipt of this message in the event E, the target consults its script (the actor analogue of program text), and using its current local state and the message as parameters, sends new messages to other actors and computes a new local state for itself.

It doesn't say anything about whether you do:

- nginx-style state machines in C
- callbacks in C++, or C++ 20 coroutines
- async/await in Rust
- Goroutines in Go
- async/await in Python or JS, with garbage collection

etc. I don't think the "actor model" really means that much these days.

What's a "canonical" and successful actor model program? What can we learn from such programs?

I think if you ask 5 people you'll get 5 different answers.

---

Also, with

__u8 opcode; /* type of operation for this sqe */
__s32 fd; /* file descriptor to do IO on */

then you have lost all static typing. It is too low level, so the analogy doesn't really hold up IMO.

Also, I don't understand why it's "do files want to be actors?", not "do Unix PROCESSES want to be actors?"
