I would recommend TextMate: https://macromates.com

It's feature-rich, but it just shows´an empty text window on startup. Can't remember if that's the default or I configured it that way.

For larger text files I use vscode.
Just my opinion/observation really but I believe its because people are implicitly entertaining the possibility that it is no longer about software or rather this announcement implicitly states that talent long term isn't the main advantage but instead hardware, compute, etc and most importantly the wealth and connections to gain access to large sums of capital. AI will enable capital/wealthy elite to have more of an advantage over human intelligence/ingenuity which I think is not typically what most hacker/tech forums are about.

For example it isn't what you can do tinkering in your home/garage anymore; or what algorithm you can crack with your intrinsic worth to create more use cases and possibilities - but capital, relationships, hardware and politics. A recent article that went around, and many others are believing capital and wealth will matter more and make "talent" obsolete in the world of AI - this large figure in this article just adds money to that hypothesis.

All this means the big get bigger. It isn't about startup's/grinding hard/working hard/being smarter/etc which means it isn't really meritocratic. This creates an uneven playing field that is quite different than previous software technology phases where the gains/access to the gains has been more distributed/democratized and mostly accessible to the talented/hard working (e.g. the risk taking startup entrepreneur with coding skills and a love of tech).

In some ways it is kind of the opposite of the indy hacker stereotype who ironically is probably one of the biggest losers in the new AI world. In the new world what matters is wealth/ownership of capital, relationships, politics, land, resources and other physical/social assets. In the new AI world scammers, PR people, salespeople, politicians, ultra wealthy with power etc thrive and nepotism/connections are the main advantage. You don't just see this in AI btw (e.g. recent meme coins seen as better path to wealth than working due to weak link to power figure), but AI like any tech amplifies the capability of people with power especially if by definition the powerful don't need to be smart/need other smart people to yield it unlike other tech in the past.

They needed smart people in the past; we may be approaching a world where the smart people make themselves as a whole redundant. I can understand why a place like this doesn't want that to succeed, even if the world's resources are being channeled to that end. Time will tell.
I remember hearing about this in the mid 2000s, someone at Brookhaven (US DOE/Army) jumped on filing a patent for it and dubbed it a plasma window.

They found a use for it in particle accelerators to partition off sections that are under vacuum
This is another +1 for WFH. Many office environments have terrible lighting, and there's very little you can do about it.
Predators tend to have a thinner margin.

Even a slight injury to a predator can mean a slow death by starvation.

That's why videogame predators are so ridiculous. They keep coming after you, even when half their ass is blown away. A real predator will bugger off, as soon as it figures out that there might be a cost to attacking you. That's a big reason that many herbivore defenses seem kind of ridiculous, but work. They just need to make the predator nervous. Unless the predator is starving, it's likely to seek prey elsewhere.

There's also tremendous competition between predators.
The problem with EA is in judging what is effective. Perhaps ridding the unforgivable student loans of parents actually helps the kids more than school lunches.

And frankly, some of the most effective altruism may be just to directly give cash to people, yet I don't know how many people in the EA community would trust people so much with unconditional cash.

The Juggler's Curse
Advice from a 40-something programmer: Learn how to spend responsibly, invest, and plan for your financial future. One way to do that is to work with a financial advisor. The sooner you start in your career, the better. Look for “advice only” fiduciaries who are not otherwise incentivized to promote certain investments. Start here https://adviceonlynetwork.com/.

A lot of this stuff isn’t taught in traditional schools. Sure, you could teach yourself, but I find this is an area where I prefer to have an expert in my corner.
Interesting that you put the chronic health crisis on a failure of government.

I would put that more on a failure of culture to value healthy living and activity. I wouldn't call that the responsibility of the government. Perhaps lack of clarity on ownership is related to the crisis itself.
Another option: a touchscreen, but with a mechanical backlight. What I mean by that is a little string you pull that spins a magneto that momentarily powers the backlight, maybe for 5-10 seconds at a time. This frees the battery from a major source of drain (hopefully comparable to e-ink) and also has a built-in limit to how much screen time you get. Eventually anyone would get tired of pulling the string. But it would be plenty for a map or sending a text or email.
While we're talking about stuff that didn't happen, I'm sure glad the Steelers are headed to the Super Bowl.

They plugged the hole for "how many 'r''s in 'strawberry'", but I just asked it how many "l"s in "lemolade" (spelling intentional) and it told me 1. If you make it close to, but not exactly a word it would be expecting it falls over.
"write" was used to DM a person. And "mesg" was used to enable/disable messages from being displayed if you didn't want to be disturbed. I used this a lot earlier in my career. Later came "talk" which gave a fancy split screen chat session.

I became friends with a mallard while living near a pond, he would follow me when I walked to the bus stop, and greet me while on my way home (closer to home, he wouldn't typically leave the apartment complex, thankfully).

one year, he disappeared, which added a lot of sadness to my life. that summer, he reappeared and walked up a hill to greet me, with his mate and ducklings in tow. his mate had had a shattered (and repaired) beak, and was easy to pick out, and he spent time walking between us with "quack quack quack", back and forth, as if to introduce us. they stayed around at least until I moved a year or so later. by far the most profound experience I've had with a "wild" animal, a memorable experience that I will continue to cherish.
Have you considered that perhaps you have causality mixed up here? Perhaps it's not that only the wealthier ~39% of people want to go to college, but rather that the bottom 61% don't want that economic burden.

Recently moved into a house with on/off light switches. Having the ceiling lights on full brightness was downright oppressive. I installed dimmer switches, and it's so much nicer it's hard to really convey.

The problem with `setenv` is that people expect one process to have one set of environment variables, which is shared across multiple languages running in that process. This implies every language must let its environment variables be managed by a central language-independent library -- and on POSIX systems, that's libc.
So if libc refuses to provide thread-safety, that impacts not just C, but all possible languages (except for those that cannot call into C-libraries; as those don't need to bother synchronizing the environment with libc).
This feels like we've got all the pieces of the puzzle to create a reality experience - I'm pretty sure with visuals like this and haptic feedback that your brain will fill in any gaps once you adapt to this given enough time.

You could use this with a VR headset, monitoring heart-beat, temperature and adapt the environment based off the experiencer's desires.

It feels like we're on the precipice of recreating an experience of reality, which may reveal more about our existing reality than we ever expected.
None of that refutes GP's point that money does equate to speech in a very real sense. (At least when it's spent on speech.) You seem to be agreeing on that point, but saying we should have limits on how much certain people can speak to make it easier for others to speak? That's not necessarily a bad argument, but it's still an unconstitutional one. "No law [...] abridging the freedom of speech" is pretty black and white. Courts are supposed to make decisions based on the law, not based on whatever they think sounds like a good idea.
Its like a rite of passage to be hit by an environment related bug on linux, which is mysteriously less a problem on other unix's. Which is sorta funny given how pragmatic Linus and the kernel are about fixing POSIX bugs by making them not happen, while glibc is still lagging here decades after people tried to at least make the problem better. Sure there is all the crap around TZ/etc, but simply providing getenv_r() and synchronizing it with setenv() and warning during compile/link on getenv() would have killed much of the problem. Nevermind, actually doing a COW style system where the env pointer(s) are read only. Instead the problem is pushed to the individual application, which is a huge mistake, because application writers are rarely aware of what their dependencies are doing. Which is the situation I found myself in many many years ago. The closed source library vendor, at the time, told us to stop using that toy unix clone (linux).

Wouldn't this concern of yours also apply to the press under any definition? I can't afford to distribute my little pamphlet as much as the Times does their newspaper. And the constitution specifically protects the press, so you need a constitutional amendment. Rather than trying to make an end run around the constitution with a distinction about "money" not being speech, despite the obvious goal of the law being to regulate political speech itself via targeted restrictions on money.
> From a distance, white hat "vulnerability disclosures" start to look like a protection racket.

A pretty big distance.

If a mobster threatens to burn down a building unless you buy their "insurance", that's a protection racket.

If someone finds a major fire code violation and threatens to tell the fire marshal about it unless they fix it within a certain timeframe, that's not a protection racket, even though there's technically a threat involved. If the building owner is a dick about it, then next time that person will probably just go directly to the fire marshal.

It's such a strange thing to make someone else play games for you and lying about it, pretending you are the gamer. Especially strange coming from one of the richest man on the planet.

Just own it, say you can play only a limited time per week, and in that time, you don't want your character to be a boring initial character.

We used Unix machines in that multi-user way in the 1990s at university. The benefits were similar to the Cloud today: You could log on from everywhere and have your familiar environment and data there. Thanks to NFS, your files could be the same between different machines.
They rubbed some sort of pen thing on it, and they took the bills to some machine in a back room. At the time, I figured it was because they thought the bills were fraudulent (I was paying with 100s because my card didn't work).

Maybe the pen thing was only to test if the bills were fraudulent, and then the machine in the back of the store could also do drug tests? Or maybe it was all a lie and they were just bullshitting me.

As the old saying goes, "I'll believe corporations are people when Texas executes one."
The conservative mind is so plainly and proudly weird. Yes, it’s clearly a misstatement penned by someone who doesn’t understand the science, like the nonsense tracts against relativity theory penned by antisemites, and that’s probably by design. But even once you drill past the wrongness you get into the real issues. What is being violated by intersex people? The idea of hierarchy. It’s the same concept as hating interracial mating. The Republican position is that trans people can’t exist, don’t exist, must not exist. Hateful bureaucrats in charge at last and deciding who may live.
The issue is that fence 2 doesn't serve the same purpose as fence 1.

Fence 1 is that we have the NCFSAC that serves to ensure the safety of commercial fishing.

Fence 2 is no fence because we don't want to limit economic activity.

That's by definition removing the fence, not moving it.

Safety policy is written in blood. By getting rid of the committee that writes that policy you aren't moving the fence, you are just getting rid of it and letting the blood that chesterton's fence once stopped to flow again.
> As a counter argument: we could just do it. Increase taxes by the amount people spend in zoos and spend that on conservation.

Why do you think we could do that?

I say we could just increase taxes by $5,000 per person per year and spend it on breeding and releasing mosquitoes in Los Angeles.

It was later, when humanity accumulate knowledge about resources gathering and processing, about nature and how to deal with it to not to die all the time. Then yeas, tribes were becoming larger, wealthier, more stationary. But before that there were very few people, the tribes were nomadic with virtually no alternatives and had nothing of value. At least nothing so valuable that it would be easier to get it by attacking another tribe, rather than by simply moving a couple of dozen kilometers away.

I've always enjoyed the smell of tobacco smoke. It's nowhere near as astringent and repulsive as woodsmoke and good tobacco often has a nice nearly floral scent or a sweet smell. The taste and the tearing up my throat and making my breath bad and the expense are all things I can do without though.

Does anyone else get seasonal nicotine cravings? In the warmer months, I don't even think about smoking unless I drink, but in winter I often can't sleep for craving a cigarette, even when it's been literally years since the last one.

Show HN: I made an open-source laptop from scratch
Hello! I'm Byran. I spent the past ~6 months engineering a laptop from scratch. It's fully open-source on GH at: https://github.com/Hello9999901/laptop
You can't.

You could wrap setenv in a mutex, but that's not good enough. It can still be called from different processes, which means you'd need to do a more expensive and complex syncing system to make it safe.

That ballons out to other env related methods needing to honor the synchronization primitive in order for there to be a semblance of safety.

However, you still end up in a scenario where you can call

setenv
getenv

and that would be incorrect because between the set and the get, even with mutexes properly in place and coordinated amongst different applications, you have a race condition where your set can be overwritten by another application's set before your get can run. Now, instead of actually making these functions safe you've buried the fact that external processes (or your own threads) can mess with env state.

The solution is to stop using env as some sort of global variable and instead treat it as a constant when the application starts. Using setenv should be mostly discouraged because of these issues.
On a certain crypto exchange, they whitelist IP addresses that can access faster load balancers with no application level control. We got a bunch more capacity than originally by just allocating a metric ton of cloud IPs and rinsing and repeating till we found stale ones - and then we blasted them with the higher rate limits. I don't think this would work anymore. Everyone knows this.

WHAT IS UNDERSTANDING?

Recent discussions about Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) suggest that we may be on the verge of creating machines that are “generally intelligent.” However, there are two main objections:

AGI cannot truly understand
AGI cannot create any new knowledge

In this post, I will argue that these two issues are closely related. To do so, I will draw upon Arthur Schopenhauer’s philosophical distinction between Understanding and Reason. I will also show how Understanding, in Schopenhauer’s view, differs fundamentally from abstract Reasoning and why this matters when assessing AGI.

It’s odd you’re invoking moore’s law here, which actually isn’t a law, and is well understood and accepted over at least the last decade across business and academia that it is slowing and is not limitless.
