This hasn't been true in most of the USA for decades.

A common failure more is for students to forget something and then claim they were never taught it. Arguably the should have been taught it more thoroughly.
>Don't you see? They would give the exact same speech about the other side and absolutely believe it, and in fact so would many other people.

Of course I see, and like in a chess match I looked past it cos I thought it was too obvious.

But I say again your argument amounts to false equivalence.

They can believe crazy and false things as fervently as they like, it doesn't make those beliefs an equivalent mirror image to what liberals believe.

This whole thread started with a complaint from you about Schedule F being 'unfair.'

Apparently anything except the liberals handcuffing themselves and letting themselves be frogmarched out of their jobs is unacceptable.

Meanwhile the new 'unitary executive' is allowed to jump up and down like Donkey Kong on anything he feels like no matter what the rules norms, laws or the constitution says.

Did I capture the essence of it?

I am totally serious about the need for resistance. The new people in charge just walked up to an unguarded lemonade stand which runs on the honour system, drank all the lemonade, pissed in the jar stole the money and smashed everything.

And why can they do that? Because they don't go in for honour and decency, but they expect us to. Democracy provides the tools and the freedom for people to subvert democracy.

I don't expect the new regime to grant such generous 'equivalent' terms should it manage to consolidate it's position.

I don't mean violent resistance, but we do have to resist.
Non-calculus based physics is violence.

I went to Japan (first time) a few months ago, and I was blown away by almost everything (including what you mention). It's just so different from the US in almost every way, but so nice overall (people, cities, transit). I loved it and want to go back already.
Definitely not—nearly all [dead] posts are killed by software, other than the [flagged][dead] ones which are killed by user flags.
OK, I better informed/refreshed myself on this.

The MC68K has a BRA instruction with an opcode 0110 0000 (0x60). The low byte of the 16 bit opcode word is a displacement. If it is 0, then the next 16 bit word has a 16 bit displacement. If that low byte is 0xFF, then the next two 16 bit words have a 32 bit displacement.

The displacement is PC relative.

This unconditional 0x60 opcode is just a special case of Bcc which ids 0x6N, where N is a condition type to check for a conditional branch. Bcc also has 8, 16 or 32 bit displacement.

So, yeah; that's not a problem. Not sure what the issue was with that GCC target; it somehow just didn't generate the bigger displacements.
This would be excellent for solar because it removes the efficiency loss from the inverters. AFAIK it's very hard to add/remove loads without spiking power to everything else on the line. A friend of mine applied for a job at a company that was trying to run DC in the home but it's not a trivial endeavor.
I worked for a "start-up" in 1994. I was employee number 600. And it had just gone public. The firm eventually had something in the range of 30,000 employees.

Anyway, at that point in 1994, the first 30-50 employees all made $$$. That included the secretaries and receptionists. They were all millionaires.

Something has changed and that is the terms that VCs and Executives have negotiated for themselves. I have not heard of any secretaries getting $$$ in a long time. There is a lot less sharing in the spoils than there used to be.
Feynman himself said that his Lectures were a failure of pedagogy.
I would love to play with and learn Rust, Go, or Zig for my retro projects. But because I mostly play with a /retro/ platform (PPC Mac OS X) none of those platforms are supported. C is.
How so? I know there are theoretical arguments and microbenchmarks that Java might be faster than JavaScript, but I've never seen an actual user-facing GUI app in Java that felt smoother to use than good Electron apps.
What this thread is about *is* culture, and the USA does not have the culture this way, and apparently Japan and Singapore do. Culture being the unchallenged basic assumptions of how people behave and how society works. It has nothing to do with whether culture changed or not, only how it is now.
the problem is that complaining and making a fuss about things that bother you is frowned upon. especially for women. so they suffer in silence. and the games probably are mostly made by men, who of course don't think it is as much of a big deal. not much different from what it used to be in the west. if only samurai chivalry was more prevalent. but unfortunately keeping appearance (and not embarrassing others) is more important.
You're right. But this is the perennial question of what sort of site HN is supposed to be. If the criterion for frontpage threads were importance, then HN would be a current affairs site—a completely different place. That's not the mandate we have (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html).

Optimizing for curiosity [1] means including whimsical things like "Doom on a dongle", "how much do all of the ants in the world weigh", and so on, and less space for a lot of more important things. This follows from the mandate of the site.

Sometimes people feel like we should exclude political stories altogether, but that's not right—what we've learned about optimizing-for-curiosity is that some political discussion needs to be included—just not too much [2].

How much is too much? Well, that's the thing that nobody agrees on. For the people who feel most strongly about a story, it's never too much. That's how "literally the most-discussed topic on the site" turns into the perception "all discussion on this topic is being suppressed" [3].

Given the extent to which it's discouraged, it can' be true as a general rule, regardless of the nations inventions. Although most of those examples in the blurb of the book you linked refer to corporate inventions, not individual inventions.
> Using a YubiKey does require that you provide your PIN every time you want to do a signature, which limits how much you can automate things.

AutoHotkey is your friend!

When I set up our code signing machine at AltspaceVR ten years ago, I wrote a simple little AutoHotkey script that watched for the signtool PIN popup and typed in the PIN. It was maybe 15-20 lines of code.

Problem solved.
And apparently why we have LED car taillights that flicker annoyingly.

If anyone here works at a car manufacturer, please try to get this fixed. Apparently not everyone notices.
Japanese are obsessed with being clean. Like wiping the pen with tissue paper before handing it to you. On more than one occasion I have had a stranger passenger on long distance train clearing my cup of coffee as she goes to throw hers in the trash. May be she is signalling you can't trust these foreigners to clean up before they leave!
Right, like how in the US you can't shout "fire" in a crowded theater, but it's perfectly fine to shout "fuego".
You're suggesting DEI wasn't the problem then? Using a new colloquial term doesn't suddenly change the foundation of the concern.

Tried it for 3 months, noticed zero difference, and stopped.

Now, do you know anything new? No, because anecdotes don’t actually provide meaningful information, we don’t know why we did or didn’t improve. Or in my case if there was some minor benefit or minor harm because I didn’t pay close enough attention etc etc.
> doing AI research means generating new knowledge about AI itself, and I don't see any evidence of that.

Wouldn't colorization count as research? In vision domain there are a lot of papers like this. Just arranging and rearranging known blocks and getting SOTA result on some datasets. ;)
Ah, I assumed, that the clauses regarding the use in training of an LLM are printed inside the book somewhere.

> Linus only got an opinion once things blew up on social media which proves that social media works which is the exact opposite of what he claims.

That is really an apt point. You can't condition people one way, and tell them to do the opposite.
I slept on a train from London once and ended up in Edinburgh. But that was planned :)

Also not a despair place. But the point is you can go far. Same must be true in Japan.
I quoted it and irrelevant.

Trump signed the order like that. If he wanted to change the order, he would have written it differently.

In any case, President Elon is pissed at accessibility folks harassing him over Twitter firings (including the firing of Twitters accessibility teams). This is stuff well within their politics and is 100% what they want.
I assure you that scientists did not use the word “mysterious”. The site did to get more people to click. The people of HN really dislike it when a site treats them like gullible idiots.
They say as much. They’ve never seen it before, and it’s measurable. So this means they can study it for the first time. It literally is a mystery lol.
I was at the Kennedy Center on Saturday for the 2nd performance of the stage version of Schmigadoon based upon the Apple+ series. Our discussion afterwards was that the Trump administration wouldn't allow performances like it to go on very long. It was just a matter of time before their attention turned there.

> And if someone can trick me into modifying /usr/lib, they can just trick me into replacing Firefox completly with their malwared build, so signing will not save me anyway.

As you said yourself, that's a much bigger hassle and cost. In other words, it's an effective deterrent. Writing to a user owned file is a very low bar for allowing privileged code execution in the browser.

A long time ago browsers used to be infested with all kinds of toolbars and extensions automatically installed by third party software, I for one am glad to not have to worry about that in my computer and on networks I manage or frequent.
I am teaching intro stats and would love to have a textbook that introduces equations in this manner. I have been trying to incorporate this style into my slides but it is not as easy as it looks. (Same issue with syntax highlighting in PowerPoint/Google Slides.)
Yup, the composition of the Court has changed, thus its stance has changed. But if you choose to defer any and all thought to this Court, who consistently give the government wide latitude to do whatever it wants so long as it invokes the magic words "national security", that's your prerogative. It's a sad way to live though.
Sure; Singapore (and Japan) do a lot to actively instill and maintain these conditions, from harsh punishments for drug trafficking, penalties for graffiti, good public education, a social safety net, affordable housing, government jobs programs, and so on. Basically, there's no need to whisper about how you need ethnic homogeneity to have clean streets.
Singapore may be racially diverse but it has an integrated culture at this point. (Which took a lot of deliberate effort to make happen, don't get me wrong).
I don't have a way to do "cold plunges" consistently, but cold showers have been great for me. I have ADHD and am quite anxious and highly sensitive. Whenever I make cold showers part of my daily morning routine, I feel much calmer. Very hard workouts also do wonders, especially if they involve combat sports, which I practice. There's something about overcoming fear of conflict. I guess exposing yourself to extreme cold is akin to that.
I'm a vomiteer rather than a sleeper so I never have this problem. But I know people who slept and ended up in Cambridge.
I was trying to think of one in Berlin, but on weekend nights the metro trains run all night, and don't really cross over huge gaps of non-city like the one highlighted in the article. At any U-Bahn end station on a party night, you'll wait 15-30 minutes and get on the next train going the other way. On non-party nights, get out your navigator app and wait the same for a night bus.

You could definitely take a regional train passing through the city, for two hours to somewhere like Magdeburg, but you don't get on those by mistake as they run infrequently, only stop at the bigger stations, and have separate platforms.
The dirty laundry of the entire kernel community not immediately knuckling under and implementing a rather long list of technical changes in the preferred way of one specific individual? That's an unreasonable take. It would be disastrous for all of us if the project ever went that way, considering the importance of Linux today. It's not like I disagree with some of the points that Marcan raised, but others have equally valid concerns as well. However, he wants to get discussion and compromise out the window and go straight to social media drama. That's never okay.

And please, stop using the concept of ad hominems to selectively justify blatant abuse. That's not what the term is about.

In the United States, the term "Professional Engineer" is a legal term describing persons licensed by their state. [1]

The generic title "engineer" is not legally protected and may be applied to software developers or many other professions where scientific understanding or invention is applied. For example, software developers at Amazon and Microsoft are called "Software Development Engineers".

Most electrical and computer engineering graduates do not bother with getting PE licensure; instead this is a requirement for civil, mechanical, aeronautical, and related engineering graduates.

One of my favorite jokes from the British sitcom "Spaced":

Daisy: [answering phone] Hello? Oh, hi, Mike. Yeah, he's here, I'll just get him.

[to Tim]

Daisy: It's your boyfriend.

Tim: He's not my boyfriend.

[picks up phone]

Tim: Hi babe.

Mike: Hello Timmy!

Tim: Where are you?

Mike: Err, Sheffield.

Tim: What are you doing in Sheffield?

Mike: Fell asleep on the tube.

Tim: The tube doesn't go to Sheffield, Mike.

Mike: Yeah, I know. I, uh, must have changed at King's Cross.

>> potential victims are more likely carrying valuables (jewelry, electronics, nice handbags)

Back when I was a daily hiker, I would have been carry seriously expensive gear. A few thousand dollars at least. Way more expensive than I would have walking around town. It would have been work to track me down in the forest though.

As one of the other commenters pointed out, in a national forest the crime occurs as car clouting at the trailhead. I would leave my car unlocked, and depending on weather, a window rolled down.

The parent poster must live next to a different national forest than the ones I hiked at, if you hiked at a popular trail it was completely normal to get back to the trailhead and see cars with their windows busted out.
Apple have about 50% of the UK handset market. It's 80m terminals so that's 40m x their estimated profit of $500 per phone, so $20b (sure, currency, tax, you name it)

Does Apple lose much, in future revenue if people buy out of the ecology in the UK market? At scale, sure. But then again no. It's a 3.8 trillion dollar company. This is almost noise.

I don't think there will be a rush to the door. Set against overall revenue targets, they can comply and weather the storm.

Affirmative Action is racisim. If you don't believe it, find the FAA people (or college students, law enforcement, numerous other recent cases) that were more qualified and excluded and ask them.
Once upon a time circa 1997 I made a javascript based windows shell for kiosk mode public terminal across 15 odd campus libraries. I had to buy a signing certificate from some CA to use the API that let me get rid of the netscape navigator chrome. All you could do on the computers was run netscape navigator, and but there was a menu that popped up on the left that had a menu of different library related web pages, and you could not tell that was really a browser window. I also had over 100 plugins we needed to install for all the licensed databases. The terminals ran Novell Netware on NT. I forget what software we used now, but they booted from a read only partition, and we created a new boot image when we shipped updates and someone would have to walk around with CDs and upgrade each workstation. The department that ran the public computer labs on campus had to sign off on the security before they would let me put them on the campus network.

I also had a shrinkwrapped netscape enterprise server with its server side javascript, and bought a shrinkwrapped sybase -- both at the same time I bought a Sun desktop computer. I bought all 3 at the campus bookstore and paid with a G/L code. I learned solaris, web stuff, javascript, and databases on that job. The novell netware was a directory server based on LDAP or x.509.

How did you jump to that conclusion? The agent will be limited by the capabilities under its control. We have the technological ability to cripple world now and we don't have the technological means to prevent it. Give one AI control of the whole US arsenal and the objective of ending the world. Give another AI the capabilities of the rest of the world and the objective of protecting it. Would you feel safe?
Hmm, no you misunderstand. Scotland was consumed by monied interests from across the water long ago. Now there’s just scattered populations, many of us dispossessed of our ancestral homes and not all by choice.

The past doesn’t vanish because of what Rome and its inheritors accords as history. Some of us have long memories.

It is particularly a prescient notion because I happen to be living in Canada. If you’ve read the news you should understand what I’m saying.

There wasn’t much graffiti or vandalism before the 70s. I mean yeah, there was _some_ but not like it exploded from the ‘70s onwards.

There were many things at play, deindustrialization began, immigration changed, youth and media depictions changed.

C++ does have ways to force heap allocation, but frankly it's just an antipattern.

It's easier to reason about value semantics than reference semantics. If you want a class with a stable address that is heap allocated, then do so by writing class that has a private field that is heap allocated, preferably managed by a unique_ptr. Then disable copy assignment and construction and make a judgement call if you want to support move assignment, construction.

In effect, the idea is to make this aspect of the type an implementation detail that the user doesn't need to concern themselves with. They just create an instance of the type, and the type deals with the ownership or ensuring that the address is pinned, or whatever other details are needed to make it work. And of course the type does this by delegating that work to unique_ptr or some other means of ownership.
Why would he make such blanket decision on something he does not completely understand?

The maintainers of core subsystems are the people he trusts, at least trusts as much as you can in this space. He'll take their opinions before anyone else, since they know best about the subsystems they maintain.

To get Linux to overrule them you not only need to come up with very very convincing technical argument, you have to make sure you also posses the depth and competence required to maintain any such subsystem if the maintainers rage quit. Because you see, maintainers of these subsystems resigning is the bigger blow
The end of the paragraph also emphasized the point

> I do not want it anywhere near a huge C code base that I need to maintain.

This was also on a patch that did "keep the wrappers in [rust-folder, not DMA] code". Arp242's interpretation isn't just belied by the direct words of the maintainer, it's belied by the fact that the code the maintainer rejected was exactly what Arp242 is suggesting the maintainer was asking for.

Despite doing a pretty decent job of containing the risk we're still on the clock until something terrible happens with nuclear war. Humanity appears to be well on track to killing millions to billions of people; rolling the dice relatively regularly waiting for a 1% chance to materialize.

If we only handle AI that well doom is probable. It has economic uses, unlike nuclear weapons, so there will be a thriving black market dodging the safety concerns.
