"every time I open one of those stupid locked-on bottle caps, I feel pain for my country, for Europe (and for my face)."

You know that it is easy to remove the plastic locking the caps on? (Just twist them)
And to me it is also easy to drink with them locked on, just have it side ways.

So I also do have lots of complaints about the EU, but this ain't it.
Wow a 1 hour video by some crank, guess all of linguistics and cognitive science has been a waste of time.
> if the product doesn't solve a real problem, it's very unlikely you will sell it in a sustainable way.

I do not believe this. If you look around, there are many non-issues being sold as real problems[1], and people buy it. People buy all sorts of crap, that is just consumerism in effect. If you did sales, you probably know this. Same thing with "bullshit jobs". Perhaps "sustainable" is the keyword here, but I am not so sure about that either.

That will not prevent them using it for free.
Scala has been very enjoyable and productive for me and the teams I've worked on. The first couple years of v2 -> v3 transition were a bit rough as the tooling and ecosystem was catching up, but now we happily use Scala 3 with no looking back. The language and ecosystem are evolving in a good direction, and I'm happy to play a small part in that with my open source libraries for Scala.js (which is the entire reason I got into Scala in the first place – so much simpler and safer than Typescript).

Scala is perhaps not going to replace Java in every old enterprise, but in my personal experience working for startups, it's been an awesome force multiplier for small teams who need to productively pump out safe and ergonomic code. Finance, health systems, etc. And yet it's also ergonomic and pleasant enough for me to eagerly use it in my non-mission-critical personal projects as well.
One of the main points of the top level comments is that students seek connections with people, not content. We don't know yet whether they will seek connections with robots.
We're not disagreeing. Even if there's no 'sploit there, people have spaces in their directory or file names, and it's kinda nice for your tool to work with those, so obviously you should be using an execve variant to pass arguments properly.

I assume the reason for the incorrect system call is that doing a shell redirect ('>') does actually look prettier though.

Doing the actual right code is definitely less pretty looking IMO: https://github.com/luvit/zlib/blob/8de57bce969eb9dafc1f1f5c2...

And that, friend, is called a trade war.

Good that we made some progress here.
Managing multiple cameras is definitely something I would consider important, but keep in mind I am not knowledgeable at all about the entertainment industry.
Your comment is dismissing the entire field of color correction. That is not just a thing for this project, it is a part of literally every movie and TV show you watch and has been since the inception of colour film.
Wow, that's amazing. Thank you sincerely!
The giddy writing really makes it difficult to read this. Anyone got a summary?
> Shapeless breaks everything so casually.

Thank goodness that Shapeless is not needed in Scala 3. The good parts have been integrated into the language itself and so it's reliable and faster.

> Jetbrains had completely abandoned Scala

Thankfully not at all. Gets regular releases, Scala 3 support is improving with each. They're also welcoming to PRs, if you have spotted a bug that needs fixing. (The codebase of the Scala plugin is in Scala, so that makes it easy for the community to contribute.)
Watching people in the tech industry make proclamations like this is like watching a Crack dealer tell teachers how to do their jobs.
Not to mentioned being bombarded with "No RISC - No Fun" ads in computer magazines for the Archimedes 3000 (using an early ARM CPU) when Acorn tried to break the Amiga domination in Germany in the late 80s/early 90s ;)

(e.g. 'RISC being the future' was already a popular meme in the late 80s - however competing with 'transputers being the future')
> Always not sometimes.

always if objectively non lobby-corrupt thought throught

if regulation is to much captured by lobby-corruption or ignore facts because of ideology thinking(:1) it can be very bad, then you can for example easily end up with what I like to call "red hearing regulation". A regulation which doesn't fix the problem at all but if you are naive looks like it might and prevent any further regulations from being done because it's already there. Or you can end up with monopoly-like companies cutting of access to markets for competition.

(:1) to be clear I mean the innocent interpretation of that phrase, not the one a lot of right wing propaganda in many countries is using regular where it often means "take this out of context potentially outright lying statements and treat them as obvious facts while claiming all other facts are ideologist driven fake news and then complain why no one want to have fact based discussions with you anymore"
Yes! As somebody who speaks 2 languages, and sort of reads/understands 2 more, I cannot agree more. Human spoken languages do not follow any grammars. Grammars are just simplified representations of reality that is probabilistic in nature.

This is something that Chomsky got very wrong, and the statistical/ML crowd got very right.

But still, grammars are a very useful model.
I did not intend to dismiss color correction as a whole, my bad if it came across as such.
Europe's Largest Makerspace
Depends on the country.

In the US it's ~10% of the population. Completely doable, especially since the participation rate in the economy is still lower than at any point in the last 50 years (minus covid). If that seems to hard I guess we can increase class sizes by 100% and have 2 on 1 education.
This is cool! Can't wait to never hear about it again
You should add examples because the page is mostly empty. Also is it like NFTs without the blockchain? Those things are dead, and I don't know if it solves a real issue or if it's a niche.
TypeGo by Microsoft (TM).

Considering how fast the TypeScript compiler is, the TypeGo -> Go transpilation might as well be similar (up to a constant factor) in speed to Go compilation itself.

I'd give it a try. As a highly enthusiastic Go programmer, a powerful TypeScript-like type system is something I'd welcome in Go with open arms.

Phones are banned in the school my kid attends. It’s fine. Students put them away when they arrive, and can take em out again when they leave.
You have clearly no idea on the incompetence so many public administrations have in configuring robots.txt for data that is actually created for and specifically meant to be consumed programatically (think rss and atom feeds, REST api endpoints etc.). Half the time the person setting up the robots.txt just blankedly blocks everything, and does not even know (or care) to exclude those.
To be noted, if you accept a brain upload made gradually you should also accept a brain upload made discontinuously. If the same brain state comes out, the process can't actually matter.
You can sprinkle your site with almost-invisible hyperlinks. Bots will follow, humans will not.
Disengaged can hold a class back, it spreads. But nowhere near as much as a disruptive kid. Or in the case of my worst class, 5 disruptive kids.
As someone, who create for living, I don't have passion for advertising myself. I rather find selfadverising blogs with huge amount of texts as desperation for attention.

It's anecdotal, but I don't like consuming blogs that much, so I don't see point to do it myself.
If you can simulate a brain, you can simulate hormones.
Teachers are severly underpaid, classrooms are overcrowded, many parents believe teachers are out to indoctrinate their kids into transhood or whatever other conspiracy the right currently fancies. Republicans have been attacking public schooling for 50 years, they hate the idea of providing fair eduction. Democrats have been doing nothing to fight this. Here are the results.

You can, and probably should, ban phones from school, but that won't fix that cult of ignorance [1] dictating every policy made on education.

Generate it once every few weeks with LLaMa and then serve as static content?
I'm also affected. I presume that this is per day, not just once, yet it's fewer requests than a human would often do so you cannot block it. I blocked 15 IP ranges containing 37 million IP addresses (most of them from Huawei's Singapore and mobile divisions, according to the IP address WHOIS data) because they did not respect robots.txt and didn't set a user agent identifier. This is not including several other scrapers that did set a user agent string but do not respect robots.txt (again, including Huawei's PetalBot). (Note, I've only blocked them from one specific service that proxies+caches data from a third party, which I'm caching precisely because the third party site struggled with load, so more load from these bots isn't helping)

That's up to 37e6/24/60/60 = 430 requests per second if they all do 1 request per day on average. Each active IP address actually does more, some of them a few thousand per year, some of them a few dozen per year; but thankfully they don't unleash the whole IP range on me at once, it occasionally rotates through to new ranges to bypass blocks
Because in healthcare, finance should be just one of the parameters and not the only metric to be accounted for. If you save US$50M from a US$1M bureaucracy which killed 5% more patients, is that worth it in medical terms?

Would you be ok if it was one of your loved ones killed by the increased bureaucracy (since inevitably increased bureaucracy creates more chances for people falling into the cracks)?

Of course that healthcare as anything else in society needs to find a balanced budget, the outcomes of its failure are the most extreme ones so perhaps it's ok to save less money if it means more lives will be saved, isn't that the whole purpose of living in a society: to live?
>but not in the sense that "putting time limits on kid media consumption" is quite the right way to go.

Why not? Isn't this what sensible parents should be doing? Supervising and regulating how much time their children spend online, playing videogames, watching TV, doing homework, being sedentary, eating junk food, etc? Especially in this age of parental controls and surveillance-ware on all digital devices, it's easier than ever to monitor what your kids are up to.

Should entire societies grant the government unlimited power over online media, online speech, kids and families just because some dumb parents hand their kids a blank iPad and their credit card and let them sit around all day on it frying their brain? What about regulating just those parents instead for being that stupid? Truthfully, a lot of the people having kids are unfit to be parents.

I do believe that targeted online advertising needs to be regulated ASAP. Ad-tech is a plague on society.
I go directly to /r/worldnews and look at the top posts. Oftentimes I'm not even logged in.

BTW, if you disagree with other Europeans in this thread, why are you arguing with me instead of them?

You mostly don't seem to be stating points of disagreement with them, or points of agreement with me. I can infer a lot from that :-)

Anyways, if you truly think there is a serious risk that the US sides with Russia, then hopefully we at least agree that the US should pull all its troops out of Europe. That should reduce the risk to you guys.
Thank you for taking the time to do a thorough read, I just skimmed it, and the prose is certainly not for me. To me it lacks focus, but as you say, this may be the style the readers enjoy.

And it also, as you say, really reuses words. Just reading I notice "phosphorescence" 4 times for example in this chapter, or "ooze" 17 times (!).

It is very impressive though that it can create a somewhat cohesive storyline, and certainly an improvement over previous models.
I don’t think we should raise ‘fun in the real world’ on a pedestal higher than ‘fun in the digital world’. The problem isn’t whether the fun is digital or real, the problem is that the digital fun isn’t really fun, but drugs. Real drugs aren’t legal, and the same should be true for their digital equivalent.
Perhaps the reason you're dismissing it is because it is so ubiquitous (and well done) you have never really noticed that it was even a thing? :)
I'm in my 40s, and I see self-driving cars, humanoid robotics, and the explosion of AI as something that will bring incredible wealth to humanity. It seems like the 21st century is on the cusp of becoming like the one everyone dreamed about in the 20th century.

You can focus on whatever is wrong in the world or you can be fearful of new tech as everyone who ages is wont to do, or you can focus on the excitement of entering a new age and the inevitable good that will bring. One day soon deaths from car wrecks may go to near zero. Robotics will be able to produce healthy food cheaply as well as handle all sorts of menial labor. AI is empowering people to "vibe code" and build games and software with just their imagination. It's a very groovy time.

Innovation? We didn't even exploit Atom netbooks in the same way the game developers did with the Game Boy iterations creating something astounding, such as the Cannon Fodder port for the GBC.

Make Luakit (anything WebkitGTK4) usable under a GB of RAM and some n270 CPU and then we'll talk. No, I am not talking about WebGL games or WebGL earth. Simple JS websites with text and maybe some video. Make the <video> tag playing as fast as MPV does with my custom config being able to play 720p/30FPS videos perfectly fine.

OTOH, sites from http://wiby.me and http://lite.cnn.com work extremely fast. On gopher, gopher://magical.fish it's like having a supercomputer to read news and access some services. Even gopherpedia and weather, too.

It shouldn't be that difficult. A Pentium 4 does SSE2. Atoms did SSE3. FFS, web browsing under an SSE2 machine was crazy fast and it ran older Mozilla/Gecko based browsers like butter. It was the minimum to run Retrozilla/Firefox 52, nothing fancy.
Show HN: Embeddings search for web design inspiration
Hi HN!! About two months ago I had a brandbook I loved but couldn't find websites with the same type of vibe. So I made this! Hopefully its fun/interesting to search through websites with this kind of search engine and maybe a little useful!

LMK what you think!!

Made with React/Vite + Axum backend + CLIP/Self hosted chroma for backend.
It became less popular a long time ago as the hype of actors as a programming paradigm died down, and then eventually akka adopted non-OSS BSL license which made many users including us switch to Pekko (a community fork) which is still developed and maintained, but again, this branch of Scala evolution is quite past its prime. Scala offers more and arguably better libraries for working with concurrency now, and even cooler stuff is on the horizon with kyo / ox / caprese.

But akka aka pekko is still perfectly usable.
Not sure I agree. I’ve built numerous small projects in Svelte 3 & 4, sharing that same joy many of us had! Stores were generally amazing.

I was highly skeptical of runes upon the original announcement and very cursory usage during beta phase.

When I finally got to porting a couple simple projects, I shrugged “this isn’t too bad, but what’s all the fuss?”.
I ported a mid size project and it really clicked.

Then I went to build a brand new small project, and I found myself in love with runes. Having spent the time to get under the hood (especially using them as classes), being able to leverage them during the design phase really sped me up and facilitated cleaner/better state management.

>As for kids thinking college or grades somehow obstruct their future… I have no idea how you overcome such ignorance. I’m actually at a loss for that one.

It's pretty evident at this point. A degree has gone from something you get if you are genuinely interested in further learning and a career in that area to an absolute must-have if you don't want to be stuck in dead-end low-paying jobs. So yeah, the process is being seen as a gatekeeper to a successful adulthood as opposed to an opportunity, because while for some kids it may still be the latter, for all kids it is most definitely the former (and one that's likely to saddle them with a lot of debt in the process).
dopamine self regulation is easier to think of.
This looks interesting! I like that it’s a single binary with no sidecars or kernel modules (which really is a barrier for most other products IMO), really makes deployment a lot easier. The eBPF approach sounds efficient, especially if it keeps overhead low. Will be something I’ll keep an eye on for my future projects.
Not exactly. First, a lot of bottles don't have that problem. Sure "most" bottles do but most is produced by few companies that made a bad design. So we only need few companies to fix design for the problem to go away.

Cookies stuff is indeed badly made and should be fixed. The should just mandate websites to accept a http header with relevant option (no-cookies, no-advertisment, no-tracking etc.).

Still, it's not the problem of regulator in itself. Rather, companies are taking advantage of the current version of the law because it's favorable to them - they know most people with quickly accept whatever to close the popup.

> if you've done great work, if you've produced superb software or fixed a fault with an aeroplane or investigated a problem ... without telling anyone, your work is wasted

Completely disagree though. That work hasn't been wasted if that software is used, if that aeorplane can fly safely as a result.

Knowing how to advertise oneself can be useful but some people can also take pride and sense of accomplishment in doing things silently and knowing they did something useful.

And there's a difference between communicating, and advertising. There's an overlap, but it's not the same thing. Communicating is crucial. Advertising... not as much and wildly dependent on the situation (like trying to land a job).
And if you produce heat / energy from burning it, you can technically call it recycling :)

I didn't watch the video, so I didn't know the specifics, although he did mention a tight schedule and children in his post.

But especially in such a case, I still believe that the general point stands. If time and energy is tight, you cannot afford to have friction points due to the appliances you use daily, because the friction they cause is a perpetual reoccurrence that is really energy draining.

I understand that time is short and budgets can be tight, but on such things, put the effort and the money in to make sure they work the first time around, and to make sure they stay out of our way.

Life is too short to be the slave of the malfunctioning devices around us, and it's only once the re-occurring low-level friction points are gone that we generally realize how draining they can be in everyday life.
Yes, it's different because this time democracy is under attack.
That's the advantage of deep learning over traditional ML: if you've got enough data, you don't need domain knowledge or hyperparameter tuning, just throw a large enough universal approximator at it. The challenge lies in generating good enough artificial data for domains without enough data, and getting deep models to perform competitively with simpler models.

> Clojurescript for frontend, Rust for portability

If Clojure and Rust work well for you, more power to you. But at least in theory, you could very well use just Scala for these purposes

Scala can compile to JS https://www.scala-js.org/ if you target frontend.

And if you want portability, you can compile a Scala program with GraalVM's native-image and statically link everything with musl libc https://www.graalvm.org/latest/reference-manual/native-image...

And if you want both frontend and portability everywhere, Scala will soon have a support for compiling to WASM (with WASI, etc) https://github.com/scala-wasm/scala-wasm/ (to be integrated into Scala.js after developed)
They're in the right of course, but I think it would be more productive for any FOSS product or organization to divest themselves from American influence and investment as much as possible. The US is no longer a free society nor can it be trusted to work in the interests of free software culture.

And to the person currently typing "was the US ever a free society?" freedoms within a society exist along a spectrum from authoritarianism to anarchy (to oversimplify) and yes, the US was at one point free enough within the context of this conversation, and is no longer free enough, even if one concedes that it was never perfectly free.
> It's just that the market will find stuff for people to do for money

Will it ?
Let's take my example, I'm a 41 year old male with around 15 years experience in software development. Lets say 4 years from now myself and million others are losing our development jobs to A.I.
What does the market have for my skills? I can try going into healthcare or teaching (though that's quite an extensive retraining + salary reduction), I can go into the trades (same) or get some other work that's hard to automate like caring for old people (very low salary). All of these options involve massive salary reduction, and that's in the positive scenario that I actually am able to retrain and survive such a shift mentally.
It's quite likely many software devs won't be able to become plumbers and nurses and will become chronically unemployed.
> We know the fate Russian “oligarchs” later met.

Russians close to power have historically often met that fate - at least since 1917, I suspect either prison or forced internal or external exile was more common before that. Americans not so much I think, so this probably won't transfer.
