Are you trying to say that women historically haven't had any obstacles to becoming doctors? Just because you can point to a handful of exceptions doesn't mean that discrimination doesn't exist. I don't know as much about the Middle Ages but read some Galen or pretty much any Greek author and tell me with a straight face that any of these people would have no problems with women being doctors.
"The music industry already showed the answer; stop trying to hold on so tight with a winner-take-all model."

They sure did. It ended up with more money in the pockets of the music industry, less for popular artists, and none for independent artists.
The Laserjet 4000 series outperforms them, is just as secure, and is the last line developed before HP quality plummeted under Carly. The problem is the cartridges are out of production and the NOS ones have a rubber toner seal that crumbles when the sealing strip is removed. You do get 10k pages on a base cartridge which blows away modern laser printers.
I disagree on Zoroastrianism, mostly because it sets up a metaphysic where the universe is a perpetual struggle between lightness and darkness (i.e. good and evil). You might associate that concept with many (admittedly popular) Christian sects but it isn't the only interpretation available.

It is totally possible to conceive of a monotheism that isn't based on this kind of eternal conflict.

(e.g., to build the company that is worth $1B)

Let's do the figures.

1) Let's count for simplicity that project valuation equals to 10 Annual Revenues. That means that the annual income should be $100M, and monthly income is ~$8M

2) $8M means 400'000 clients paying $20/month.

3) 400'000 paying customers means 20'000'000 total users. (since average conversion is about 2%).

4) There are 5.5 billion internet users worldwide. So 20M users are 0.35% of the total audience.

So, probably, it is achievable to find a specific niche product for these particular 0.35% of the users that is possible to build solo. AI-powered solutions fits even better to this concept.
Croissant Maker: A short narrative cooking game
I hope so - a moral obligation. It seems interesting that the Vatican didn't really touch on the implication of a truly sentient AI (not that I think we're close to creating one, but it seems possible). I suspect it would pose awkward questions about whether it would then have a soul, could convert, etc. Anyhow it struck me a surprising omission in what is otherwise a thorough and mostly sensible discussion of the pitfalls of the path we're taking.
It sounds like you’re in a similar field to me so it would be great to connect! Totally agree, yeah Audiocube is built in unity as game engines made the most sense for what I wanted to achieve. Steam audio is super cool and was a lot of use to look at for writing my own stuff.

Offline rendering is at the top of my research list currently. It’s not in the app yet. It’s going to take a lot of work to build given that the physics engine calculations are tied to frame rate etc, so there is a lot of work to do - but I’m sure it’s possible.

Thanks!

ICEs do need far more servicing to stay safe and functional on the road vs an electric, and this is doubly true for high performance vehicles. They have a precision machined block of metal, creating hundreds of explosions per second, lubricated and liquid cooled by hoses that degrade and slip with the vibration, using turbos and superchargers to milk out performance, exhausting gases, driving a multigeared transmission, synchronised by perishable belts, with gaskets and sealants holding the shuddering mess all together. Miracles, all of them.

Obsidian Publish, Micro.Blog, Ghost, BearBlog, HackMD, etc. are all great places to start, with less "baggage" associated with them. I know a lot of people write on Medium as well, but the account requirements that pop-up randomly are super annoying.
It's cool to have syntax for that, but I feel that the optimisation there works at a too high level.

I'd like the backend to notice that a variable is being dropped and "re-created" on every iteration, and then figuring out how to initialise over a "dropped" zombie value. It'd be nice to have something like this, because I'm pretty sure people don't do this kind of optimisation all the time (it's annoying to leak the variable that should survive loops outside of the loop becase it's not mentioned elsewhere).
I never played anywhere that allowed fakes but most players were ok with you taking a otherwise worthless card (hello Lapras my old friend) and marking the face to count as something else in Pokemon or otherwise.

Actual fakes were problematic as you can tell the back of the card apart generally.

Hey this is something we know a lot about. I'd say Qwen 2.5 32B would be the best here.

We've found GPT-4o/Claude 3.5 to benchmark at around 85% accuracy on document extraction. With Qwen 72B at around 70%. Smaller models will go down from there.

But it really depends on the complexity of the documents, and how much information you're looking to pull out. Is it something easy like document_title or hard like array_of_all_citations.

OpenSource.org should do the same for OpenAI.
Yes, that is a valid reason. If I get that optimisation for free, why not?

I still would not rely on that optimisation, though. If I think this could be an actual bottle neck, I would make the shared buffer explicit in my code.

I'm just going to say that it's Nicholas "Filter Bubbles Make Us Stupid, We Should Talk To Opposing Viewpoints All Day" Carr.

If you believe social media is tearing us apart, a significant chunk of responsibility lies on his shoulders. (We knew shared cultural context matters, but by Jove, "Filter Bubbles" was a term that could be milked for book deals, so milk he did)
No mention of Schemaless? Was that retired?
Really, can you give a more specific example? I have never had a node upgrade break my code, and would be fairly surprised if I were to run into that situation! I also don't quite understand your other points - runtime environments are isolated, that's the point of the node_modules folder, and it's one of the things that Node/NPM does particularly well at. Were you installing your packages globally?
Contec CMS8000 Contains a Backdoor
I've played the game on and off since launch. I think the biggest difference in the game is expectations going in.

A ton has been added to the game but I still play it for the same reason, it's a good ambient exploration game where you get to fly around space but I also still stop for the same reason, it's shallow and repetitive. That was my experience at launch and that was my experience last time I played.

Based on hours played (and I enjoyed them) it was well worth the money but I don't think it's really improved that much over time. There's definitely more to do but it's not much deeper.

We can hem and haw and guess about what we think the founders would think, or we can look at what they said and what the historical context of firearms ownership is. We don't have private ownership of nuclear arms now and pointing there is IMO another explicitly bad faith argument, in part because it's clear you don't particularly care what the founders' intentions were because there are thousands of pages of discussions and arguments showing that regular every-day people were allowed to - encouraged to, in cases required to - own weapons on par or better than military armaments of the day. And despite that, my guess is you have a problem with people owning or carrying AR-15s, or with people carrying handguns on them when they go to a restaurant, etc. I'm happy to be proven wrong though!

The start of this little digression was private citizens carrying their personally owned handguns outside of their home as is plainly meant by the word "bear" in 2A. So rather than moving the goalposts to Sam Adams's opinion on private ownership of nuclear weapons or whatever other bad faith things you want to bring up, I'd rather focus on that.

I thought this is governed by point-buy systems where you have a certain number of points to spend on your deck, and powerful cards just cost more points. Not an MtG player though, and I assume this also varies from play to play.
yeah... wasn't me that did it though. Same group of people did it with a git repository they "recreated" more recently. They just don't know how to software.

I got my hands on the old SVN but it's a few TBs and so I had some trouble unzipping it. Maybe someday I'll patch a branch for blame archeology.
I think there’s something quite cosy or comforting about simply enjoying the company of a friend with a book as well. Don’t even have to read the same thing, it’s just another way of spending time together and is anything but lonely or isolating.

Maybe it’s just one of those things that becomes more pleasant as you grow older and enjoy a more laid back pace, but I appreciate having those friends you can just chill with without really having to ‘do’ something or needing to fill the space with conversation. You’ve become close enough (not necessarily romantically) that you can just enjoy the presence.
If the soul is immortal and carries on to heaven, but doesn't contain your memories, but God copies all of your memories into a new body for you in heaven, then what's the point of even making the distinction between an immortal soul and a mortal body?
assuming one-person means one employee, i think it's possible if you allow contractors. however, even then i think it would probably be more economical to hire employees. there's just so much diversity of skill needed to maintain and monitor a service at that scale. of course it depends on what the business is. maybe there is a niche that works.

the way you present the scenario isn't conducive to achieving "one-person unicorn" though. the way to do it would be for an already successful entrepreneur to raise a lot of VC money at a $1B valuation before having a product or customers at all.

My Mom was a midwife in London in the mid-20th century. She used to joke that she was a black belt...in midwifery. Apparently the belt colors had meaning then and still do other places (after a quick search it looks like Ghana still uses a black belt for midwives).

On HN, we don't go by intent (which is unknowable), we go by effects [1]—or rather, by likely effects [2].

The highly likely effect of posting a generic comment accusing other people of "hating on Christianity" is a religious flamewar, and that's what we got, with people accusing each other of not having read things (that was you, actually, more than once), being dicks, believing in leprechauns and orbiting teacups, and so on. This tedious stuff is not what HN is for, and destroys what it is for.

Your comment was certainly a generic tangent, as you changed the topic to the value of Christianity in general which is (1) as generic as it gets and (2) references nothing about the OP except that one point.

As an undergrad, thanks to the fact that I could easily do diacritics with TeX, I was overfond of using the diaeresis (I had gleaned from observation, not just in the New Yorker but also the writings of Donald Knuth, that a diaeresis served to distinguish two vowels that were pronounced separately which might otherwise form a diphthong).

The thing that helped me limit this practice more than anything else was a comment from Nelson Beebe that whenever he saw coördinate in something I had written, he mentally pronounced it as if he were channeling¹ Peter Sellars’s Inspector Clouseau.

⸻

1. The New Yorker style guide would call for this to be spelled “channelling.” The diaeresis is not the only idiosyncrasy of that publication’s style.

I wonder what happened. I emailed them a over year ago about a vulnerability, and they never responded.
They were actually changing the deck in way that survives shuffling, not just looking at the differences.

They were using the offset on the printing as a way to tell orientation of the card. Since auto shufflers never rotate the cards, any rotation they added would persist allowing a way to tell good from bad cards in future hands.
There are indeed formats which work this way (https://canadianhighlander.ca/points-list/), but unfortunately the most-played formats (Commander, Standard, Modern..) don't have any such restrictions which means the investment required for competitive play is prohibitively high.

On the other hand, the ridiculous costs mean it's very easy to find like-minded people to play casually with using bootleg cards.

Short answer: yes but not anymore.

They have a shady past but quickly realized they had lucked into a WILDLY profitable business. That first 10% of their existence is debated constantly and is what you see referenced constantly online when Tether is labelled as shady.

They make a disgusting amount of money and it keeps snowballing. This annoys people who want them to implode for earlier crimes.

For context they are more profitable than Blackrock.
Thanks, good to know. In the early 2000s the story was "we fixed the headgasket issues from the 90s!" which seemed to mostly be "we put in thicker coolant so hopefully it'll be less of an issue". So I feel it was reasonably to remain skeptical- it takes a long time for cars to get the miles needed for problems to surface. Our 08 Impreza (my wife's 3rd Subaru) still used timing belts. It had cam seal issues at 175k miles but the head gasket held up -- though not all did.

Good to know they finally went to timing chains.

Your Japan comment is a bit strange considering that the Japanese writing system itself uses Kanji which are effectively the OG emoji (well really Chinese is the true OG and emoji are more of a modern take on kanji/Chinese pictographs).

That said, why is a Japanese sentence written using one set of pictographs respectable and proper, but another set of pictographs means the writer is in kindergarten?
> I think most cops see that as a necessary tool rather than the chief reward.

The problem with this view is that there are a lot of high profile cases that are examples of people abusing their power.

I am happy to believe that “most cops” see it that way.

I am less familiar with those police officers supporting reforms that would either expose or suppress the bad behavior of the minority.
And yet it is precisely that unstructured text which allows programs to be infinitely composable, whether they were written 30 years ago, today, or are yet to be written. This is what allows programs like teemoji to work with any other program, without directly supporting it.

Besides, what format should the data be structured in? In the 1960s and 70s, it might've been GML. In the 80s, maybe SGML. In the 90s, XML, and later maybe JSON, or... shudder YAML? Or, no, it obviously should've been some binary format.

OK, so let's say everyone agrees on a single format for several decades. Should all programs written for all those shells that support it also support the data format? Even if that's handled by shells and not the programs, there will surely be bugs and incompatibilities in each shell implementation, leading to fragmentation.

Furthermore, will the data format support versioning? Will it be backwards compatible? Will all programs or shells need to support this? Will users have to mix and match, and experience all sorts of compatibility issues?

So, clearly, unstructured text is the only "format" that is both flexible and future proof enough, at the expense of convenience for the user to glue programs together. I'd rather have that than have to depend on the structured format du jour that will have to be continuously maintained and supported by all programs in the ecosystem.

Besides, there are projects like Nushell and Murex that wrap the input and output of existing programs or write their own to support piping structured data. I'm not a big fan of them, but it points out that unstructured data is not some UNIX flaw, but a deliberate design decision which is IMO partly what enabled it to proliferate in the first place.

Maintaining a shell that supports piping structured data can only be done by a single entity that oversees the entire ecosystem, like Microsoft does with PowerShell, or the above mentioned projects. That is the antithesis of the UNIX philosophy where disparate tools can be written by anyone, yet somehow still be made to interoperate by the user. It's also a gargantuan project that realistically not even mega corporations can successfully maintain without limiting the user or introducing bugs. Plus it will always be a bottleneck for adding new tools to the ecosystem. For these reasons I don't foresee any of the structured data shells to be nearly as popular as UNIX shells have been and will continue to be 30 years from now.
This is not the problem.

The problem is a higher portion of people who just want to power trip apply to these positions, even if they are not the majority of the police force. Basically, it is the dream job for a bully.

It seems there should be severe penalties for "power tripping" (aka misuse of authority and databases for special purposes); slap of the wrist fine, suspended paychecks and internal investigations will not deter this group of people. I don't see how these crimes are considered less than drug dealing.

Specifically the punishment should include mandatory jail time and permanent ban from jobs where they have any form of authority over others including management, teaching, and all government positions.

Yes, there were people on the production staff who, in addition to other duties, were responsible for maintaining as much consistency as possible in both technical descriptions and capabilities with prior episodes and Star Trek canon. Mike Okuda was one such person.

Obviously, the show was fiction and made for a broad general audience, so their technical inputs were sometimes 'streamlined' by the producers to minimize too much technical explication dialogue. But they generally did try to get enough on-screen to be both series-consistent and technically plausible within the fictional universe.

Speaking of unique skills, I find French very unique as well. "His life" translates to "sa vie" because vie happens to be female. "what is it" translates to "qu'est-ce que c'est", a _seemingly_ random concatenation of shortened words, in spoken form it is only 3 syllables!
