While *I agree* to what was written in the post I replied to (I'm no supporter of Vucic or his buddy Putin), many other things would deserve words a thousand times heavier; and are instead not even condemned by many people here.

I only meant to point out that, in the only hope that even other things get condemned at least similarly.

AAA games are eye-wateringly expensive though, management aren't imagining it; my point is things becoming more expensive is a symptom of decline. I'm sure the late romans consoled themselves they could build another Pantheon they just cared more about efficiency now.

Where I work in government we've stopped paying for important data from vendors (think sensors around traffic etc.) because the quotes are eye-wateringly expensive. But I've worked in data long enough to know the quotes probably reflect genuine costs, because data engineers are so incompetent (and if it's a form of pricing gouging it's not working because gov isn't paying up). So it looks like we're choosing to be in the dark about important data, but it's not entirely a choice.

Saying we can do stuff but it's unaffordable is imo just another way of saying we can't do stuff.

> doing so would essentially put Android on equal footing as iOS

No it wouldn't. Google as an org is bad at product and the fact AOSP exists is not why.

I've built AOSP based products multiple times over the years, and closed source Google Play Services has spent years picking off ever increasing swaths of the user-facing functionality covered by AOSP. I mean the writing was on the wall with Doze, but we don't even have a calculator anymore last I checked.

Google just can't make good products like Apple can.

Apple's worst products come from moments where they act like Google (becoming developer driven with weak top down direction), and vice versa. Fortunately for iOS users, neither org defaults to acting like the other.

I doubt it completely, mainly because there is no evidence of this, but please do cite the evidence that convinced you of this. Until then, I'll consider the most plausible scenario to be that this is a convincing story you've told yourself because social media is likely a big part of your life, and the lives of your immediate social circle, so of course you would think it was important, despite X/Twitter's relative unimportance compared to other social media.

I'd argue there are too many incompatibilities between minor and major version changes between the "core" react libraries (DOM, react-router, etc) and those teams were a bit reckless with the API surfaces and how they fit together.

At the end of the day it's free software and it's not like I've been submitting PRs to improve it. Further react-router is something you can setup at the beginning of a project and largely never touch again. Its not the end of the world, but it does cut a lot of folks who are new to React, Frontend, etc., and contributes meaningful costs to frontend development as a whole.
Where’d you read that this is a cubesat? The article implies it’s not:

It’s far from perfect but it’s miles from where it was. It still has some quirks I’d like to see closed up. Side tool panels vs side bar properties panels is confusing to new users who are looking for their “thing”. Texture painting needs some TLC but it’s usable. All in all, Blender 4 is a completely different animal than Blender 2 and you can tell. Grease pencil is a game changer. Sculpting too. You don’t need anything but Blender (maybe Krita).

I switched from 3DSMax to Blender and I’ll never go back. Rigify still makes tons of shapes (max has a bipedal model to represent the bones) but it’s finally one-click rigged. Very rarely do I need to modify weights or get into the weeds of the rig.

Blender is amazing, and miles ahead of Gimp and other FOSS editors.

That said, I can't help but feel that all of the current generation of leading 3D software (Blender, Unreal, etc. ) is going to be replaced by something just around the corner. The progress in 3D AI is nothing short of phenomenal. It feels like soon nobody will ever have to worry about sculpting or retopologizing or rigging. An entirely new class of tool will take over.

It's not just 3D. It feels like the current generation of artistic tools (Photoshop, Illustrator, etc.) are about to be wholesale replaced with Gen AI tooling.

AI plugins (eg. the Krita plugin) are too steeped in the old world of editing. New tools will probably be AI native and prefer AI workflows for reaching the same coarse- and fine-grained outcomes.

I don't expect these tools to be used by the masses that are prompting AI slop like "50's Panavision Wes Anderson", but rather by working artists. Genuine Gen AI tools for artists.

I've been making short films on the weekends with Blender, ComfyUI, and a mix of custom software. The AI pieces are doing the heavy lifting, and my productivity is 10x what it was before Gen AI.
I thought it was a source code control system at first.
I realize that. But when reading a header you have to imply the data types which might be wrong. I always thought it would have been great if the first line read something like:

As a part of Gen Z, I feel that with regards to critical thinking skills, our generation got obliterated twice, first with Social media (made worse with affordable data plans) then followed by GenAI tools. You truly need a monk level mind control to come out unscathed from their impact.

> the idea of education as means of producing useful workers is straight from

...every social structure throughout time. An educated populace is more likely to be successful in achieving goals than re-learning from nothing.

> It's a worldview that necessitates only teaching what leads to a job.

Since education is generally funded, it makes sense that subjects are self-reinforcing. "Worldview" is, contextually, an anthropomorphism of a social process. The cause, not the effect, is people doing what people prefer to do. There's nothing outside of society pushing. People still make art, to their parents' chagrin.

The situation of forced subjects, is not rigid. There is education for other subjects; almost everything or anything that meets some arbitrary qualifiers. Crystals, dog breeding, board game design? Humans tend to share knowledge (even when it's wrong). There's no shortage of learning in subjects that aren't primary subjects in some accredited college.
Leaked data exposes a Chinese AI censorship machine
Harrison's work is very interesting. But it seems to have been a one-off.
I feel exactly the same way about this "I'm using AI as a cognitive amplifier. I'm learning at a much faster rate than I would without AI."

I just don't know how much is actually being replaced though. I think of corporate jobs I have done in that past. I can't think of anything I have ever been paid to do that would be replaced by a language model. It was either something that could have been automated without a language model but was not for various reasons or the output would just be amplified by a language model.
In some cases my work would have been enormously amplified and better but not "automated".

For some reason we don't seem to like this idea of a cybernetic relationship with a machine that benefits the human even though that is exactly what we have been doing for at least a 150 years. Maybe it is something in our brains that can't turn off a type of predator/prey model. Then on top of that is the mass appeal of this infantile and collectivist idea that AI will do all the work while we collect our UBI trust fund allowance from artificial daddy.

I would like to see more DF on HN. The something rotten in Cupertino was a shattering post—people in my circle who do not read DF were discussing and sending it around, and I work at a place where so many dang people read HN. So I agree with Gruber’s concern.

I’m surprised this post too is already flagged.
>If the type of the argument to `close` is a type parameter all types in its type set must be channels with the same element type. It is an error if any of those channels is a receive-only channel.

That doesn't seem to be true - intuitively, element type doesn't seem relevant at all for `close` since it doesn't affect any elements, and it compiles just fine when using a type set that has two different element types: https://go.dev/play/p/IQjTfea9XXy?v=gotip

</nitpick>

Seems like a solid documentation improvement! Hopefully this also helps accelerate some of the flexibility-extensions like shared fields (or a personal hope: "any struct type" plz! it's super useful for strongly encouraging safe habits in high level APIs, currently there's no way to say "should not be a primitive type").

It's a confusingly jumbled title. I think it's supposed to mean something like "New version of Oscar-winning Blender software released" (which is still inaccurate—it wasn't Blender that won the Oscar, but an Oscar-winning film was made using it). It looks like this release celebrates that win by using art from the film for its splash image.

They called out AlphaTheta, so here's hoping that it is. That would make my decision to move off of Spotify for personal streaming even easier
Probably isn't huge for existing DJs who would need the reliability of having stuff on a USB in venues which might not have great internet access. But I can see this being good for the casual users at home since this is the first streaming integration which doesn't charge an additional DJ subscription on top of the standard subscription.

"But this means his pro and con opinions don't match typical opinions and this makes him polarizing. And hence some people will flag his articles reflexively or post reflexive dismissals. And Hacker News is heavily weighted to downrank polarizing articles."

The downranking is particularly weird since HN's professed norms go extremely hard on something along the lines of "you should take atypical opinions seriously since they're more likely to contain new information than opinions that are conventional-wisdom-with-a-few-little-sprinkles-on-top." Sometimes the HN audience is very diligent about this norm. Reactions to Gruber's writing from the HN crown often show marked deficiencies in adherence to this norm. I'm not sure what, if anything, should be done about that by Gruber or HN's moderators, but I do believe that the problem is not located in Gruber's writing.
Rather than a tool, the real people should be highlighted here. Blender’s success in the open source space is atypical. The difference is surely just a group of brilliant people who just happened to take interest and found about this project. Or maybe animation studios are incentivising blender development because of the high price of commercial alternatives. Or both. In any case the individual devs should be championed than just the group.
It's of quite large importance, and despite being difficult, it is well-specified, which is the point here. Importantly, there is also no competing HTML spec, either de facto or otherwise. CSV doesn't have anything of comparable authority.
> But this means his pro and con opinions don't match typical opinions and this makes him polarizing. And hence some people will flag his articles reflexively or post reflexive dismissals. And Hacker News is heavily weighted to downrank polarizing articles.

I suspect this is it. A subset of users flag and/or downvote daringfireball on sight if it reaches the front page and the HN algorithm treats that as a strong single
100%. But if Gruber/Daringfireball are even shown for a split second, there's a kneejerk reaction to flag it before the flagger even often reads it. It's a shame.

Several years, ago I started getting cough headaches. The symptoms were just like it sounds: when I coughed, I got a headache, usually lasting for a few minutes. In addition, bending down caused a sharp pain in my head. Lying down was fine, indeed, all symptoms lessened or disappeared after a good night's sleep and got progressively worse as the day went on.

My neurologist diagnosed it as a cough headache, but he cautioned that nobody knows the root cause.

He did say that it had to be physical/mechanical, in the sense that it had to be some fluid (or lack of fluid) that caused a problem depending on your orientation (bending down) or when shocked (coughing).

He suspected it had to do with spinal fluid and he ordered tests, but they all came back normal. He said that in most patients the symptoms go away after several years, and that's what happened with me.

But reading this article, I wonder if there is some connection here. The headaches started when my second child was born and I wasn't getting much sleep. Maybe, as the article theorizes, lack of sleep caused the fluid in my brain to not drain properly or not be cleaned or something. That could be why sleep decreased the symptoms. Maybe they should study cough headache sufferers and compare against normal people.
some, but not all. There's a bunch of historical code which means that Perl is in the base install, but modern tooling has a lot of Python too, as well as POSIX shell (not bash).
Compactness is in the eye of your beholder. You might have the eyes of a spider, but I have the eyes of a large orc.
My bias is I generally think RPC is much nicer than REST. But what's kind of funny here is that we have

(1) an RPC to call a (remote) method called "tools/call", which is a method that

(2) calls a method called get_weather

Both methods have arguments. But the arguments of "tools/call" are called "params" and the arguments of "get_weather" are called "arguments".

I realize this is a common pattern when you have to shell out, e.g. in python's subprocess.run().

But it also seems like there could be a cleaner API with better types.

According to Trump it is. He said he destroy the Canadian economy in order to force us to join.
And this is why Canadians are deeply concerned. Nobody is reigning in your leaders that are continuing to frequently repeat comments about annexing Canada and using economic force to do so.

I've traveled to the US extensively for work in the past. It's the most inward facing country I have ever seen. The international news items that virtually every other western country reports on the front page of news reports get buried in the USA. Everything we see shows that Americans just don't care about the impact of their actions on people outside of their country, even when those actions are military invasion.

It's deeply disturbing to Canadians.
This could not be further from the truth. Different programs have interfaces that are better for certain tasks, but Houdini, Maya and Softimage XSI have all had fantastic interfaces for the most part.

9/11 and then a year and a half of constant "axis of evil" propaganda and suddenly a majority in congress was behind those actions.

But if you'd told people in May, June, August of 2001 that the US would be mobilizing for full invasion of another country, they'd tell you there was no support for that. And Bush's approval ratings were really low, too.
