I think a lot of your posts are missing that someone's got to tell LLMs what to do.

What kind of humans are doing that?

How much more productive is it making them?
Yikes. That almost seems worse than doing nothing. The presence of community notes for plebeian matters will make it seem like politically popular figures are never in the wrong.

The poor in America are way worse off than similarly affluent countries like Canada, Germany, Switzerland, Singapore.
Duh? Like, by definition, an average doesn't reflect uniform expression. The people who don't want those things are a minority, but they are getting their way, because the system reflects the desires of the elites, not the desires of the average.
I'm going to guess that it's Hacki. It's the one in the OP link, and it's been more recently updated. Plus it's cross-platform with iOS and Android. I've used the Android version previously (I'm now using Harmonic), but couldn't tell you which is the better iOS app.

Thank you for sharing! I tried to see if I could replicate the result (unlikely, as I'm not a cosmologist, just a Python developer), but it's not possible:

- They don't share all the input data, including something called "`.FITRES` calibration files" which seem to be necessary - the first command, `python BuildPP.py`, fails because it can't find `Pantheon/calibration_files/FITOPT000_MUOPT000.FITRES`.

- Some code must be meant to be run with a different Python interpreter than the rest, because the syntax is not compatible with the only version mentioned in the project (see below).

The project also has some troublesome but not fatal flaws:

- No exact information about Python version. The only hint I could find was the mention of needing Python 2.7 (two years EOL when the repo was created).

- No information at all about dependency versions. The project needs matplotlib, numpy, pandas, and pymultinest, but there's nothing about which versions of any of these were used for the analysis.

The point is to besmirch their record with the bar association.
it's actually a lot worse than it sounds even. The 5070 is like a 4090 is when the 5070 has multi frame generation on and the 4090 doesn't. So it's not even comparable levels of DLSS, the 5070 is hallucinating 2x+ more frames than the 4090 is in that claim
Thanks. I will try to do better. Another issue is that if I type it correctly it gets autocorrected to “cause hello”. So I have to go back and correct it every time.

> Oh, it also has two USB-C sockets. A red one for charging, and a black one for using the flashlight's substantial battery as a power bank. I don't know what would happen if you plugged the charger into the wrong socket and don't have the courage to try.

USB-C does a bit of negation before putting our any significant amount of power. There's a "dumb mode" that just uses a pair of half-cent resistors and is fine for up to 3A at 5V, and then the "smart" PD (Power Delivery) mode that does a digital negotiation and can do much higher wattage.

All that is to say that if you plugged the black USB-C into a charging brick it'd probably just fail the negotiation and nothing bad would happen. Both sides would have to be violating the spec for it to be a real hazard.

Annoyingly, some really cheap devices skip out on even the dumb mode resistors to save a penny, and so even though they have USB-C ports, you have to charge them with USB-A to USB-C cables (because USB-A ports always provide power, no negotiation required.)

Those devices are where the cheap Y-cables come in handy, because they usually include the required resistors + give you a USB-A port.
> people who don't want that are a minority, but they are getting their way

They’re the majority. Almost every voter puts pocketbook issues near the top of their list, but not so far up that they’re willing to be civically active about it unless it’s a crisis. Herego, we spend most of our non-crisis time on non-pocketbook issues.
You have a very different mental picture of America over "decades past" than most people do.
I'd say the average voter actively wants at least 1 of these and has no problem with the others.
> Isn't this just the FPTP system? I mean what point is there in voting R in California or so.

The problem is that it's also "what point is there in voting D in California?"

All this great shit the D's talk about never seems to manifest in the states they solidly control.

(Also, if you're hung up on the fact I'm bagging on the home team, that's just the state the parent poster mentioned, mentally invert R and D and substitute a southern state).

Tbf the Bacon McMuffin is a lot better than I thought it would be. The 'healthiest' option other than a pure salad in Irish McDonalds would be the grilled chicken wrap they have - "The BBQ and Bacon Chicken One - Grilled"

Roughly the same calories as the McMuffin but half the fat, twice the fibre, and 50% more protein.
https://www.mcdonalds.com/ie/en-ie/good-to-know/nutrition-ca...

As for your 300 calories contention - 300 calories of scrambled eggs or steel cut oats would do me fine to get through a morning. 300 calories of McNuggets would not conversely. I'd imagine most of that has to do with satiating fibre, protein and fat therein.
> I got into this profession simply because I could Ctrl-Z to the previous step much more easily than my then favourite chemical engineering goals.

That is interesting. Asking as a complete ignoramus - is there not a way to do this now? Like start off with a 100 of reagent and at every step use a bit and discard if wrong
Really interesting. Normal uops don't work like that, they are always pipelined, so a p06 op with 3-cycle latency would always be 3/0.5, not 3/1.

So the 1-throughput strikes me as a renamer limit, not an execution limit. I.e., these instructions can only flow through the renamer at 1 per cycle.

This could perhaps be tested by interleaving unrelated p06 ops in the same ratio as SHLX, and see if they + SHLX are able to saturate p06, and also trying different interleaving granularities like 1:1 and 5:5 since I would expect those to behave differently in the renamer (but not much different in execution).

The 2080 was a particularly poor value card, especially when considering the small performance uplift and the absolute glut of 1080 Tis that were available. A quick look on my local ebay also indicates they're both around the €200-250 range for used buy it now, so it seems to make way more sense to go to a 3080.

Jobs tab works fine for me.

Third button on the right,

Then punch in whatever you want (LinkedIn suggests job, skill or company - so "engineering manager X", "architect X", or something like that for me -- whereas X is the specific area i am interested in)

The area the company should be in -- or close to (city in which you reside by default)

After you hit enter and fetch the results you can fine tune based on radius, date posted, experience level, company. remote yes/no/hybrid and if they support easy apply through LinkedIn.

If you really don't get any hits that way maybe that simply means that particular position isn't open anywhere at this time.
> Most Unity games look like very bad, even with fancy shaders, normal mapping and other techniques.

This seems to be an increasingly common point of view among those of a certain age.

It is definitely the case that the art of a certain sort of texture mapping has been lost. The example I go back to is Ikaruga, where the backgrounds are simply way better than they have any right to be, especially a very simple forest effect early on. Some of the PS2 era train simulators also manage this.

The problem is these all fall apart when you have a strong directional light source like the sun pointed at shiny objects, and the player moves around. If you want to do overcast environments with zero dynamic objects though you totally could bypass a lot of modern hacks.

Maybe some drinkers are triggered by the idea that not everyone wants to drink alcohol?

It’s a bizarre attitude but one that I’ve certainly encountered before.
In most dishes like a pasta or curry, it’s not drained off. We’re not talking about a stick of butter, it’s butter, sugar, fat, carbs all in quantities that would make someone shudder if they were preparing food at home.
Shutterstock doesn’t sell digital assets, they sell the license to use assets. The value of a stock photograph for marketing has decreased YoY, but the value of the license to use that photograph has only gone up. The consolidation is a trick they play on shareholders to convince them they are gaining value through assets, even though the value of assets is $0.

That is why a good portion of their earnings calls are about miscellaneous vague initiatives defined as an acronym and how much they saved on operating capital through acquisitions and layoffs.

The only way to increase the value of a license is with exclusivity. In which case the only remaining innovation is to direct the value back to the contributor. Which in turn would shrink the company.

No, they aren't the majority. The elites that the system actually serves have successfully ignited a culture war that splits the average people on which issues are driving the economic problems. The overwhelming majority of Americans want higher wages and cheaper cost of living, they just can't agree on how to get there (by design).

Divide et impera.
Would you prefer that they would not prepare for unusual circumstances? This is what any serious organization does when there are real stakes. Smart people sit down and gather information, think about likely scenarios, and write a playbook, updated over time. Seems like your response is a knee jerk entirely based on the optics of the name.

It's very interesting that the group level results (table 1) of this analysis seem entirely opposite when comparing western and non-western countries.

As noted by table 1, all the group level results indicating that fluoride has a negative impact on IQ come from China, India and Iran.

When you look at the studies done in western countries, in particular Canada, New Zealand, Taiwan, Australia, Sweden, Denmark or Spain, you do not see negative IQ effects (Australia, Sweden, Denmark and Spain studies were not included in this meta analysis, but you can find links to studies from those countries in https://www.statnews.com/2025/01/06/fluoride-iq-jama-pediatr...).

> Valve has been lucky that UWP did not caught among Windows and XBox (ERA runtime) developers, however Microsoft might still pull a move in Win32 that isn't so easy to reverse engineer in Proton, and somehow make it part of DirectX.

I wouldn't necessarily call it luck. I mean, UWP didn't fail in a vacuum. They played a part in its failure, and frankly they did so in part because Microsoft doesn't care about what developers or gamers need or want anymore, they just care about getting the end game they most prefer.

They're definitely running out of time though: with Proton and Steam Deck, there is real life value in sticking to the subset that works on Steam Deck, and right now that value is increasing over time, with another handheld on the horizon.

> There is the whole ongoing discussion about a possible existence of XBox OS, that other OEMs selling handhelds would rather have than SteamOS.

Meanwhile, though, while people theorize about a potential licensable Xbox OS that might exist some day, SteamOS has been shipping on Steam Decks and will be shipping on Lenovo handhelds soon. The rumor mill on the Valve side of things suggests that they will open SteamOS up for users to run on ordinary computers soon, and there might be a return of Steam boxes and the Steam controller.

Do vendors want to ship Xbox OS more than Steam OS? That, IMO, remains to be seen and depends heavily on Microsoft's strategy. Valve almost definitely gives vendors much more free reign over what will ship on their devices and how. Xbox is a household name which would be attractive, but it could bomb if they fail to meaningfully deliver the "Xbox experience"; Microsoft has been running with the narrative that everything is an Xbox, which, sure, sounds great, but game streaming is not going to be competitive with handhelds that can actually play games locally for now.

> And then there is the whole question, which will be beyond my lifetime, about what comes after Valve, when its founding members are no longer around.

Well, someone will have to keep investing in Linux handhelds to keep it alive in some form, but it doesn't have to be Valve. The work they're putting in is largely there for anyone to take advantage of and continue later in their absence, even moreso than Android in many regards.

Show HN: Kindred – Find an accountability buddy near you for your hobbies
It's the new year and many of us have resolutions to start new hobbies or focus more on existing ones. Having someone you can meet with to do or talk about a shared activity helps us stay motivated and more importantly, makes it more fun. Finding an accountability buddy can be tricky because a good match involves several factors. Ideally, you want someone nearby so it's convenient to meet up, someone at a similar skill and commitment level and someone who shares your interests/styles/inspirations within the hobby.

In my case, I would consider myself an intermediate guitar player and have always wanted to find a practice partner. Living in NYC, there is no shortage of musicians, but many have more serious goals and aspirations than I do. As a hobbyist, my main focus isn't playing gigs or being in a band. I’m not trying to practice for hours every day to become an expert. I just want to find someone to play some songs with casually for fun. I’m sure this person exists in my neighborhood, but I had no easy way to find them.

There are apps for specific activities like music collaborations, tennis, or basketball, but I found they often cater to a more serious crowd. Beginners and casual dabblers are usually left on the sideline. That’s why I built Kindred, a way for anyone to connect with others through hobbies.

Here’s a quick overview of how it works:

- Set preferences for age, gender, and location to help you find compatible buddies nearby.
- Create a profile focused on your experience level and specific interests within your chosen hobbies. Unlike typical social media, superficial details like looks, education, or career aren’t emphasized.
- Meet people through plans. Plans are like traditional events but can have more flexible time and date. You can choose "sometime this week" or even "whenever." Plans with small groups of 4-5 people are encouraged but you can also choose one-on-ones or larger groups. It should feel like you're just making a post about what you want to do to neighbors who fit your preferences instead of it feeling like you're formally hosting a public event.

Check it out here: https://kindredsocialapp.com. The app is currently available for iOS only.

I’d love to hear your feedback and answer any questions!
BioShock Creator Laments It Was Just a 'Corridor'
Not to belittle Justine's achievements, but the role of the most important software developer probably goes to the maintainer of some hugely important infrastructure project that we barely know about.

If Justine didn't optimize struct padding, binaries would be a bit larger, but software would keep working. However, if a trivial library like left-pad is gone, it triggers global chaos of such monumental proportions that it warrants its own Wikipedia article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Npm_left-pad_incident

This:

"After all, Indian kids are leading everywhere in the US and that’s because of our strong focus on academics."

contradicts this:

"But…. in the Bay Area, I see many offspring of such competitive parents. Most don’t do better than their parents. They went to the best public schools, followed all the rules, and didn’t get that far"

Grades and academics aren't the 100% key to success. I was an above average student and make more money and I would consider myself more successful than friends and family that did much better than I did in school.

On top of this, I have found that many people that focus this much in academics in their childhood, have issues later on in life because they were never able to actually enjoy being a child.
