I’ve told it elsewhere. Some Googling around may turn it up.
I am hopping on Rust threads on HN very regularly and I have to tell you my anecdotal experience.

Which is: people complaining about Rust zealots are much more than actual Rust zealots. Thinking of it, I haven't seen a proper Rust zealot on HN for at least a year at this point.

So I don't know, maybe do less cheap digs. Tearing down straw men is pretty boring to watch.
Insofar as you want to continue to charge this fallacy here, it doesn't really matter because "the Geneva Convention" is not, per the cited article, a "category whose archetypal member gives us a certain emotional reaction." It is something specific that happened/exists, and in that it has no "archetypal member." Whether you specifically have an emotional reaction to it is beyond the point, and in fact beyond gp's point. If you take the argument minimally charitably its just pointing out an inconsistency between what was at once point judged to be bad by an international community, and the actions of one member of that community today.

But further, do you really, in good faith, think gp was trying to form some airtight logical argument against the use of tear gas? Do you think its possible they were maybe just pointing something interesting out? What actual motive could you have to try and create this very thin gotcha here? Can you maybe step back and see how sealioning like this just adds noise?

Yeah but the problem is with mass movement people like this, there are good chance people that can take advantage of these protest (looting,rob etc)

the point of these weapon is not "defeat" but mostly to crowd control right because you cant rule out if there is no crime even in peaceful protest, both things can be true at the same time

also if such weapon is not permanently injure or harm people, I can see why this weapon is in need like pepper spray
Yeah - in another place this was shared a few people mentioned that. It is slated to be part of postgres 18, but as of right now to get the "good UUIDs" you need to homeroll something.

This reminds me of Motel of the Mysteries :^)
So, to summarize, the original typewriter layout (1868) was alphabetical, with the top row (A-N) going left-to-right and the bottom row (O-Z) going right-to-left. Then (1870), the vowels (including Y) were pulled out and put in a separate top row. After that (by 1872), changes were made in order to better support the use case of people receiving Morse code, and that's when we finally start to see something that looks like QWERTY. Additional changes later got it to the modern form, but by 1872 something QWERTY-like was in place.

And yeah -- if you look at the bottom two rows of a QWERTY keyboard, you can still see what remains of that alphabetical ordering, being left-to-right on one row followed by right-to-left on the row below!
I understand the sentiment, but I believe Brad Woods explained it better in https://garden.bradwoods.io/notes/design/juice .

Flat design is much more of a blank canvas than old desktop UI toolkits were, but companies are loathe to invest in "Juice" because it requires a level of attention to detail that works against fast iteration.

What's dumb about it? People often use labels in bad faith. I'd think that learning to recognize that is a good thing.

Of course the larger issue is that you are unlikely to be able to have a constructive dialogue with someone who is engaging in such tactics. Pointing out that someone is behaving poorly rarely solves the issue. I think it's still useful to be able to recognize the pattern though.

Dropping a view can work, but not when the system is under load (found that out the hard way.) I'm not saying its the worst possible situation, just a greater burden than you would expect going into it.

The LRAD (Long Range Acoustic Device) was used for the first time in the USA in Pittsburgh during the time of G20 summit on September 24-25th, 2009

The city of Pittsburgh has agreed to pay more than $200,000 to settle two cases stemming from the actions of the city during the September 2009 G-20 Summit, including $72,000 to Karen Piper, a bystander who suffered permanent hearing loss after Pittsburgh police deployed a Long Range Acoustic Device (LRAD) on a neighborhood street.

I think what UI needs is talented people to come up with new ideas.

When it was purely utilitarian only a minority of people could use it.

When it became tailored to a wider audience it was bland and uninspired.

The further it goes towards art\skeumorphism the more niche the userbase.

The further it goes towards corporate capture the angrier the userbase.

I think we shouldn't pretend like there's a big obvious solution that everyone else has ignored.

Shit I remember reading the Windows 8 designer blogs. Microsoft did serious testing to come up with the most hated interface in their history. From an academic perspective they did a lot of things correctly. Still shit.

>once the euphoria had worn off the market consensus was that the stock just wasn’t worth as much as the price it had been selling for at the height of the mania.

I've seen too much in the past 4 years to think that euphoria is anything but a convenient and incomplete explanation for things like, "Cisco's price hit its high 25 years ago and never since." More is happening, driven by the fact that there's more ways to make money on the movement of a stock than it going up significantly in price over time.

My view is this: the wave function is mere bookkeeping and not anything ontologically fundamental. However the fact that such a seemingly bizarre concept lets you do quantum physics (even if it's not the only way) points to some fundamental questions about the nature of...well, nature.

Of course this is not the only valid view...just one that makes sense to me. Thinking about these sorts of questions is a very fun endeavour.
> The results showed that in Canada, where about 15 per cent of people include gender pronouns in emails, the resulting carbon emissions from this small change (three extra words) may contribute to the premature deaths of one person a year, according to the 1,000-ton rule.

GENIUS!
To continue my earlier comment... I prefer not to call an LLM "intelligent" much less "outrageously intelligent". Why? The main reason is communication clarity -- and by communication I mean the notion of a sender communicating a meaning to a receiver. Not just symbolic information (a la Shannon), but a faithful representation in the recipient. The phrase "outrageously intelligent" can have many conflicting interpretations in one's audience. Doing so generates more confusion than clarity.

To say my point a different way, intelligence is contextual. I'm not using "contextual" as some sort of vague excuse to avoid getting into the details. I'm not saying that intelligence cannot be quantified at all. Quite the opposite. Intelligence can be quantified fairly well (in the statistical sense) once a person specifies what they are talking about. Like Russell, I'm saying intelligence is multifaceted and depends on the agent (what sensors it has, what actuators it has), the environment, and the goal.

So what language would I use instead? Rather than speaking about "intelligence" as one thing that people understand and agree on, I would point to task- and goal-specific metrics. How well does a particular LLM do on the GRE? The LSAT?

Sooner or later, people will want to generalize over the specifics. This is where statistical reasoning comes in. With enough evaluations, we can start to discuss generalizations in a way that can be backed up with data. For example, might say things like "LLM X demonstrates high competence on text summarization tasks, provided that it has been pretrained on the relevant concepts" or "LLM Y struggles to discuss normative philosophical issues without falling into sycophancy, unless extensive prompt engineering protocols are used".

I think it helps to remember this: if someone asks "Is X intelligent?", one has the option to reframe the question. One can use it as an opportunity to clarify and teach and get into a substantive conversation. The alternative is suboptimal. But alas, some people demand short answers to poorly framed questions. Unfortunately, the answers they get won't help them.
It's ok not to like Rust.

But that doesn't make your library native at all — just as Tauri is not native, neither is Sans, and that is the point being made here.

That has to be the most absurd thing I’ve read in a long time. They are trying to argue that adding three words (specifically, pronouns, because culture war) to your email will literally cause people to die?

I’m upvoting just because that will cause a small increase in carbon emissions due to the REST request to the HN servers just to spite this author.
Github can also just serve you a tarball of a snapshot, which is faster and smaller than a shallow clone (and therefore it's the preferred option for a lot of source package managers, like nix, homebrew, etc).

It’s frustrating that tarball urls are a proprietary thing and not something that was ever standardized in the git protocol.
It didn't help that bigger companies were hungry to integrate vertically and build the biggest moat they could, to the point it became a "eat as much as you can" landscape.

When Steve Jobs was saying DropBox is not a product but a feature, it surely didn't reassure DropBox that they could keep making simple and transparent services that the platform owner will gently play nice with.
In the case of APPL it is fun to think about what the money I spent on a computer that year like a Power Mac G4 could have been worth today if I had invested in the stock instead.

I remember local developer group chats about BTC / ETH in early 2010s. We met weekly next to local restaurant bar. I like to calculate what if I had skipped a meal or a drink one night and instead bought BTC or ETH with the that money what it would be worth today.
git needs built in handling of large binary files without a ton of hassle, it's all I ask. It'd make git universally applicable to all projects.

Tab Mix Plus is the OG GOAT of tab management. Its claim to fame is that it’s still the only add-in that gives you multiple tab rows.
Yeah, the DRM stuff has been irritating for me as well. I've spent more time than I should trying to get a SteamOS box to replace an Nvidia Shield TV, but no matter how many variables I tweaked I couldn't get any of the big streaming services to do better than 720p, and a crappy version of 720p at that.

But if you can forgive that, I think desktop Linux has come a long way. I'm admittedly a software person, so it might be a bit easier for me than average, but if someone could convince Microsoft to port over MS Office to Linux (which I don't think is likely), I think I could even convince my parents to use something like Ubuntu or OpenSUSE.
> but one that can also trigger power on on my computer.

Wake on LAN is nice, when it works.
For everything else, there's ~ $10 modules you can by from Ali Express. They are essentially a small WiFi radio and a digital switch. You wire it in-line with the power/reset switch on your PC case.

They're very simple devices so either Tasmota or ESPHome or DIY from scratch isn't that difficult.

I have a few PCs in my rack and I can monitor the power LED status and press the power/reset buttons remotely. I used Home Assistant to integrate them with my KVM so just switching to a different bank of ports on the KVM will wake up the matching PC.
So static typing is stupid because at the end of the line your program must interface with stream of untyped bits (i/o)?

The ones now and back then aren't any different. They do inflict greater suffering when the injury isn't immediately lethal. They essentially maim the target.

There's a legitimate case to be made for home defense because they won't penetrate common building materials nearly as far. It makes them much safer to anyone in the surrounding area.

There are also cases where the additional stopping power is invaluable, for example against a pack of dogs.

This an idealized version of revolution and assumes elections are available and respected...

While Oracle definitely benefited from the dot-com era, my impression was that, unlike the other three, its core business has always been banks and other large enterprise companies.

That core didn’t suffer much during the dot-com crash so Oracle was in a good position to do things like vacuum up the pieces of Sun.
I doubt it. For one, because I grew up in poverty.

For another because I like bicycling(without electric assistance crap),

even in the mountains and/or bad weather, I'm (still)really good at it.

For just another, I did some really tricky things, which made some people really not want to have any other people having these.

Which means I'm really well of now, like forever, except for it all coming tumbling down.

Which I could probably adapt to, again. The question is if I'd want to,

which depends on many things, which remains to be seen/determined.

Which won't be the case for all. Just for the countless whiners which will be found lacking and superfluous.

I don't know. For me, it was mostly don't double down on my own company stock or maybe even (at the time) more aggressive funds generally. It's not like I retreated into Treasuries. But I still did OK from the more aggressive investments because (maybe luckily?) they did pretty well.

I didn't really graduate into a recession but I felt I learnt some lessons in dot-bomb (when I was probably almost 40) which was a decent way into my professional career. It was a period from the 80s when new grads in tech weren't earning anything like the incomes that at least some Silicon Valley copanies were paying if that was there thing.
The difference between Cisco and Nvidia is that Cisco's P/E ratio exploded out of proportion to their business while Nividia's revenue and profit are increasing exponentially. But people will probably tank NVDA -95% anyway because "bubble popped".
