IME it’s not just about people wanting to move out faster; but in general it seems that most places get offered to friends/coworkers first, just as a gesture.

Often having a Nachmieter is handy because you can sell them any of the furniture (or appliances) (…or entire kitchens) you no longer want, and they can also take over responsibility for any modifications to the place you’ve made.

I once lived in an Altbau that had very high (~5.5m?) ceilings, and the previous tenants added a lofted bed to the space. By finding someone (me) to take over the contract, they didn’t have to remove it and fix the holes in the wall etc, and the next tenant after me also got to keep the bed setup.

Two decades ago. Does that mean his take on smartphone screen size or Blue Sky vs Threads is anything HN in general needs to hear? Probably not.

Some people are not natural story tellers. Telling a story is not a usual part of the job responsibility of a software engineer—we aren't novelists. Having a memorable debugging experience doesn't directly equate to having a good story to tell.

This is really the same issue with the promo culture we see at Big Tech companies: you end up promoting the people who are good at crafting promo packets i.e. telling stories about their work. There is certainly a good overlap between that and the people who do genuinely good work, but it's not a perfect overlap.

Personally I don't really mind it because I consider myself good at story telling. But as an interviewer I would never do that to a candidate because not everyone can tell good stories.
Right, an unhindged man with a gun is worse than without a gun. A gun that can itself become unhinged is likely worse, or at least more of an unknown.

When intelligence comes into the picture the question is what the intelligent thing will do, not how a person will use it. If its just a tool that a person can use it almost certainly isn't itself intelligent at all.

Of course that means you don't have the data to compare Waymos with NYC drivers. Yet.

> really the question should be something more like "did ATI funding help advance UK research generally?" not "was ATI able to claim its own successes?"

This is a reasonable objection, but imho misses the point.

Any entity that's unable to account for its positive externalities will underestimate its value. This happened to the Turing. Universities did not want to lose their staff to secondments or buyouts, and Turing cancelled major independent programs like their PhD offerings. Leads fought for their universities, as the article notes---not necessarily to make Turing itself better!

While recent cuts/"realignments" are painful, they also have re-focused support for projects at scale---projects that are substantially more than an afternoon a week for two academics. It's still, in many cases, subsidized consulting for UK businesses w/ dubious scientific merit, but that's a broader issue with the UK's research culture.

I read the twitter chain and from what I can tell, the tweeter did a number of things that were ethically questionable.

"""3\ That’s when we came up with
@InterviewCoder
— a cheating tool for Leetcode-style technical interviews. We'd use the tool to get offers from top tech companies, film it, and ride the shock factor. """

You see, that's when you should have stopped.

"""6\ We used the entire recruiting cycle to polish up the UX on real interviews, getting offers from Meta, Tiktok, Capital One, and Amazon.

I actually ended up posting all these offers as work experience on my Linkedin, and got my account banned bc I didn’t have work emails to"""

Putting internships you didn't do on your linkedin is not an act of honor. It's extremely deceptive and it's correct for linkedin to disable your account.

Finally, putting all this along with the Amazon correspondence in a tweet chain shows really poor judgement. Few if any will sympathize with you based on your actions.
No, they alter and modify the software as they see fit.

Here's one of the recent examples: https://www.reddit.com/r/debian/comments/1cv30gu/debian_keep...

And that's applied to a lot of packages. Sometimes it leads to frustrated users who directly come to frustrated developers who have no idea what they're talking about, because developers did not intend software to be patched and built this way. Sometimes this leads straight to vulnerabilities. Sometimes this leads to unstable software, for example when maintainer "knows better" which libraries the software should link to.

The only way I'm using a command entry if it's the result is deterministic. Fuzzy searching over the choices is nice, but I still want that to be deterministic. And some way to determine the actual choices available.

There's so many studies done on human computer interactions that at this stage, I'd believe it's just pure malice. Corporations want to push the idea that their tools will let you do your task without being trained in it, which have never happened even with physical tools.

With the first few loads I wrung cloths out by hand and tossed them in the dryer. I didn't notice it being longer, but I also didn't time it so 20-30% longer wouldn't surprise me.

After a few loads I bought a hand crank cloths wringer, basically two rollers that squeezes the water out. That thing honestly works better than a spin cycle, cloths are more dry than coming out of the washer and I have noticed the dryer finishing faster (I usually run it on an auto sense mode rather than a timer).

If you identify with your job and it becomes worthless (noone wants to pay for it), it's going to mess with your self-esteem.
...and?

I see an array of arrays. The first and second arrays have two strings each, the last one has a float and a string. All those types are concrete.

Let's say those "1.1" and 7.4 values are supposed to be version strings. If your code is only sometimes putting quotes around the version string, the bug is in your code. You're outputting a float sometimes, but a string in others. Fix your shit. It's not your serialization format that's the problem.

If you have "7.4" as a string, and your serialization library is saying "Huh, that looks like a float, I'm going to make it a float", then get a new library, because it has a bug.
That's some wacky smooth animation for the Apple II. It's quite a feat to have multiple apparent sprites move so smoothly like that.

Apple II high resolution graphics are 280x192 pixels stored in 8 kilobytes at 2000 - 3fff or 4000 - 5fff. (With a fun interleaving where bits in memory are not in the same order as the bits on the display. Woz saved a few chips that way.)

That is to say, there are no hardware sprites.

The fastest way to clear the display is an unrolled loop in the form of LDA #0, STA $2000, STA $2001, STA $2002 etc. That works out to about 30,000 cycles which takes 30 milliseconds. A more plausible operation - displaying a whole-screen bitmap by copying it from another location in RAM to the framebuffer using a loop with indexes - weighs in at several hundred thousand cycles, or an appreciable fraction of a second.
FWIW, I've never had an issue with playlists synching between mobile and desktop. I have had other issues in Apple Music, most annoyingly when tracks are randomly replaced by other versions of the song, but you might reach out to Apple support on this one if it happens regularly.

> Storage is cheap, bandwidth is cheap, so who cares?

This is a ridiculous assertion.

They're both cheap in the commercial sense, but neither cheap nor infinite in the UX sense. Time and space matter in the real world.

Google wouldn't have created WebP if there was no tangible, measurable cost benefit to using it over some alternative. Same goes for H.264 or HEVC or AV1, at scale bandwidth and storage are far from cheap. See the article on the FP today about Google's double-digit EXAbyte storage clusters with 50TB/s read volume each as a real-world example, there's nothing cheap about that.
Your comment caught my attention as I’ve noticed GenZ comments on social media making a major point about stage of life and age.
Curious to know why your friends need to be your age and in the same stage of life? I’ve always had friends that are older by 15 years, and now also younger by 15 years. So Millennials to Boomers and we connect on interests, hobbies, sports teams, hikes, walks, climbing, games, favourite beverages (beer, cocktails).
My 2 cents: Over the years, friends of different ages have been essential for connections, opportunities, referrals for services, housing, advice and learning from other people’s experiences (aka the easy way).
Sure, the article can support the premise to prove the point out, I just wouldn't have read the rest of it. Waste of time.

Compare+contrast with 'The Last Jedi'.

What does this even mean? If I read from a file that doesn't exist, what should the returned object be? Isn't the state of the file directly tied to the error? If I ignore the error and try to use the file anyway, the following operations wouldn't make sense. How can you read from a non-existent file?
That “gradual decline” is an artifact of your maths, in which you're gradually changing the weight of recent years.

Consider a sequence with an extreme drop-off: 100, 100, 100, 100, 40. Taking averages of all the numbers, then all but the first, all but the first 2, and so on, yields: 88, 85, 80, 70, 40. That might look like it includes a gradual decline, but clearly there's nothing gradual in the underlying data.

So many issues in this article, but I'll only address a couple. The author seems to be saying that AI will somehow deprive people of their creativity, but I can't fathom that at all. It's a crystallization of the AI-making-art conundrum that so many have. But I see no reason why people won't continue to be creative on their own. Not if their creativity is genuinely springing from within. Nobody is being forced to use AI to create works of art, or even assist in it. Just as nobody is being forced to use the spell check or auto-complete features in word processors. They're just there as an option for those who choose to utilize them. I do see how these things can lower the financial value of artistic works though, which I think is the actual issue that many have. It's the fear that AI doing art will lead to less earning potential by artists, which is a different issue.

And the author alludes to the creation of further dependency on Big Tech such as OpenAI. This totally ignores the fact that there are quite a few (actually) open models out there. One can do a fully local setup, use a model service such OpenRouter, or even self-host a model on a GPU service such as Runpod. There are all these options available, depending on user preference and skill, so one doesn't have to become dependent on Big Tech's gated offerings.

Overall, the only thing I can really say is I hope the author is very close to retirement or already there, as if they keep this stance on AI they'll eventually fall very far behind, unless they're into plumbing or a similar extremely hands-on field.

You're saying that having "enable full lockdown mode", but _also_ having a toggle in iMessage settings for "Disable automatic display of media attachments" would be less secure?

The poster two above me couldn't find the setting because they looked in iMessage settings for an iMessage security feature, not for lockdown.

And I would turn on the imessage security feature in a heartbeat if it didn't break my browser, and a custom font I have to install via a configuration profile.

All That Glitters Is Not Novel: Plagiarism in AI Generated Research
>We had that in 1990's VCRs with no "AI" required. It also fast-forwarded through the commercials during recorded programs.

Yes, I owned several of those Panasonic VCRs with the "Commercial Advance™" feature. Also had a Hitachi VCR with same feature licensed from ADLE. The heuristics used a combination of detecting a fade-to-black screen transitions and higher audio levels of loud commercials. It was simplistic criteria but was "good enough".

The problem is that VCR required 2 separate passes of the VHS tape. The 1st pass was to record the video and then the VCR automatically rewound the tape and the 2nd pass played it back to itself to analyze and mark the ad segments.

That approach does not work to watch live feeds of sports broadcasts. To use the Panasonic VCR approach, one would have to "record" it first -- which defeats the purpose of watching the game live. To instantly block live ads without any waiting, you need technology with more "intelligence" or "smarts" or whatever people want to call it.

My point is that if you hype up a "live-tv-ads-skipping device" with "Unicorn Fairy Dust Technology" -- people won't complain that the company called it "unicorn whatever" -- as long as it actually works and improves their lives. It's when such a device does not work (e.g. Apple Intelligence fiasco) is when the meta analysis and lectures about such as "you know, that device doesn't actually have any horses inside of it with a horn coming out of its head".

Those examples are very challenging because they are volumetric objects, in addition to being dynamic. The flame does not even have a well-defined surface. What you see as red/yellow in the flame is in fact just glowing soot particles, and the point where this disappears is just a temperature difference in the gas such that the soot stops glowing.

Besides the description of the scandal for non-Danish audiences, this was also an interesting reflection on the deception inherent in the production of any kind of documentary work, even when it's portrayed as straight CCTV footage.

> All documentaries are artificial: their footage has been carefully threshed and sieved with an eye to telling a story or pushing an argument. The Black Swan, though, relies on the unblinking, real-time gaze of hidden CCTV cameras, so we lull ourselves into thinking that we’re seeing the full picture, the full truth. No such thing. Instead, we get evasion upon evasion: Smajic’s charade for her clients, Malm cheating the taxman, TV2 withholding their work from the police, Brügger keeping details from his audience. Smajic’s final bluff merely confirms what Brügger seems to have believed throughout his career: everywhere, there are conspiracies and lies that he must expose, even if he has to participate in the dissembling himself.

> ...Smajic believes she’s a victim of journalistic deceit. The Black Swan was meant to be about her life, she said, with the hidden camera footage being used only sparingly to corroborate her stories. She’d been offered no security during the filming, she said. When TV2 screened the first three episodes for her approval, they were really just raw, unedited clips, she maintained, and in any case, she’d been strongly medicated after a surgery and couldn’t assess them with a clear mind. (“Amira watched the edited episodes, they just needed finalising,” TV2’s Nørgaard told me. “During the four hours she spent with the editorial team that day, she appeared unaffected and seemed coherent, as we also documented in the series.”) Smajic hadn’t been running any other office at the time, she said to me, and in any case, “they hadn’t bought the rights to every single moment in my life”.

It must work that way. When I flag articles and they don't immediately show as `[flagged]`. I would guess the number of flags is weighted by upvotes, maybe (but less likely) by the karma of the person flagging the article. The software must track who flags articles since you can lose flagging privilege if you do it frivolously:

As far as I know, once an article is flagged it cannot become unflagged by user action. Only dang can unflag articles he thinks the community deserves to discuss.

Articles can also become `[dead]` which I think happens automatically for submissions detected as spam. Per dang, users can vouch for such submissions:
