Man it is hard to do. It is about the same amount of work to spend $200 as it is $2,000,000, and that is really tricky for community supported (free as in beer) versions. If there is a commercial license - like one has AGPL or paid something else, or extended support for versions - that is much easier to purchase.

> The government doesn't delete anything. It might be moved or inaccessible to the public but that data is somewhere in perpetuity.

If the government is democratic and values integrity? Sure.

Otherwise I wouldn't bet on it. My own country's history books and my parents' own life stories have already warned me about how fickle democracy is. No democratic country is free from that fact. Some think "checks and balances" ought to be enough to prevent it, but I wouldn't be so sure.

Because repetitive flamewars make the rest of HN flamey and worse, and enough of it can burn the whole place down - this is a thing that happens to forums and HN is explicitly built around the premise of fending that off for as long as possible.

It's also intended as an "unsiloed" online community - there are no sub-hns, we all look at the same stuff and react to and discuss the things on the front page. There is a big subset (I think easily the majority) who care about the nature of HN - a nerd forum of mostly nerd-curiosity things and don't want it changed to something else. A site for discussing current news/political events would be something else.

I submitted a Thunderbird bug 13 years ago now, that Thunderbird doesn't let you just search for a word, and find all copies of that word: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=752844 . Their search instead tries to be clever, but it then finds stupid stuff like (in my case) "The base of Wedding is wed. The plural of wed is weds. Lets return every email ever from a Wednesday"

Still not fixed.

They claim that they are "reciprocal" tariffs, and their chart shows them at exactly half the tariffs they claim are imposed by the target or 10%, whichever is higher. But it is suspicious that the column on their infographic showing the foreign tariffs has fine print indicating that includes other non-tariff things that you can't easily calculated as a neat rate the way tariffs are. And, some people running the numbers have determined that the quoted foreign "tariff" amounts are consistently the US trade deficit in goods with the target country divided by that country's exports to the US, with a minimum of 10%.

So, despite being labelled "tariffs", the actual basis for calculating the "reciprocal tariffs" has nothing to do with tariffs.

> One of the sheets claims that the Heard and McDonald Islands currently charge a “Tariff to the U.S.A.” of 10 percent, clarifying in tiny letters that this includes "currency manipulation and trade barriers." In return, the sheet says that the US will charge "discounted reciprocal tariffs" on the islands at a rate of 10 percent.

Labor laws in the US are outdated, not being updated, and not being enforced.

Companies exist to make money. If the company's environment permits it to exploit people to make money? It'll do it just to not get outcompeted.

Delivery drivers' pay should be higher - the cost of delivery should drive some percent of people choose pickup. Bed assembly being impossible due to the wrong part being sent should cause recourse for the bed assembly company/staff.

Everyone involved is doing their best, but it's a bit dire lately.

Try adding cocoa powder, no sugar. Add the powder first, coffee liquid afterwards to minimize clumping.

The cocoa itself is quite good for you, dissolving it will cool the coffee, and it will deepen the flavor.

I should try cinnamon with this.

Edit: dutch-process cocoa powder uses sodium hydroxide to reduce acidity of cocoa. Non-"dutched" cocoa is much more healthy, but alas acidic.

The blog mentions right at the start that it's based on OAuth 2.0/OIDC, similar to how you log in to your Google account in Thunderbird for example.

> I always wonder how it will work for someone writing their own client, perhaps a very basic client (or a bot).

For interactive clients, it'll be the standard OAuth 2.0 Authorization Code flow[1]. For non-interactive services they say in the proposal[2] that one uses the existing method but they will implement the standard OAuth 2.0 Client Credentials flow[3], which is effectively like a traditional username/password deal, though the "password" is not the account password.

It's almost as if people don't understand what the word "productivity" means. That's all it is, if you hear "x increase in productivity" and it sounds great, it really means : you, the worker, work harder after we fire other people and thus are "more productive" because you did the same out put that 2 people did. Sucker. And we all eat this shit up.

Oh yeah, Triple J's Like A Version is incredible. I don't know what they've got in the water there but so many artists put out their best ever work with those covers. Here are some I like:

- Feels Like We Only Go Backwards (Arctic Monkeys cover of Tame Impala)

- Do I Wanna Know (CHVRCHES cover of Arctic Monkeys)

- Believe (DMA's cover of Cher)

"No difference in physiology" ignores the general presence of a very different endocrine system.

And, indeed, ethanol is an endocrine disruptor. The endocrine system, in turn, is known to influence neuroplasticity. Given that estrogen and testosterone impact neuroplasticity in the DMS via different pathways, there's a good chance that plays a role.

As wild speculation, estrogen acts as an inhibitor for long-term potentiation (or strengthening of synaptic connections), which lends mild support to the idea that it could prevent changes in outcome-related encoding. (The paper points out a possible mechanism, as footnote 72. I admit I was too lazy to read it, so it might well say that this was a really bad theory.)

In general, whenever something weird happens that has observable differences across sexes, blaming the endocrine system is a good first go-to strategy ;) Hormones are extremely powerful influences in our body.

The MSDS at https://www.nano.pitt.edu/sites/default/files/MSDS/Acids/Hyd... doesn't specifically mention to avoid latex, so it wouldn't be a useful source of information on this point. One of the four times that it mentions gloves, it does specifically specify "neoprene" (not latex nitrile), and the other three times, it doesn't say anything. Even though neoprene is strongly HF-resistant, rereading the MSDS is probably going to be worse than useless to the Etsy moms.

Maybe there is that, but it can also just be an acquired test.

No one likes bitterness initially, the ability to taste bitterness is essentially a poison detector, but it may still trigger with substances that are safe, at least at the dosage you are taking them. As you age, you get to recognize these safe cases with your other senses and override your poison detector, which lets you appreciate the taste.

Herbal tea, tonic water, grapefruit juice, etc... All bitter, and most people dislike them initially, but after a while some will appreciate, and people don't drink them for the psychoactive effect.

> allowing nearby queries and keys to affect each other's attention weights for more precise attention

If it is only nearby tokens it is multiplicative by a constant right? Not making it cubic scaling with context length or anything.

Deepseek got a training performance increase with two tokens at a time, though it doesn't go into the final model inference like this. They did say it can be used for speculative decode to reduce inference costs though.

They may get away with less attention heads with this new approach too.

The bread is the mascot of the TV channel: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernd_das_Brot -- an article surprisingly full of gems such as this:

> The reason for Bernd's depression was revealed in the 85th episode of the series. In his telling: "[...] A long, long time ago I fell in love with a beautiful, slim baguette. She was so unbelievably charming and funny. But unfortunately, my affection was in vain. She only had eyes for this perfect stranger, a multigrain bread. It was so devastating. [...] My heart has been a dry clump of flour ever since."

Late at night (i.e. right now in the US), KiKA plays a "late night loop" starring Bernd.

You're disregarding what I've said and trying to have a different discussion. Please pay attention.

I am not discussing - nor do I consider it relevant to my point - privacy/security/etc contexts for Telegram's client side applications. Whether or not it's encrypted has zero to do with how smooth and well built a chat UI is. I am commenting on the frontend client side engineering and how Telegram has, hands down, the best implementation. Other apps need to catch up.

> but these low information voters will sabotage themselves every single time.

It is generally not cool to blame the voters. There was a ton of misinformation preceding the Iraq war as you point out, but even then there was a massive popular opposition to it. Hundreds of thousands protested against the war before the invasion in New York and Washington DC. Some polls showed that 5% of all Americans participated in a rally or a protest in the weeks leading up to and following the invasion. And despite that popular opposition, among politicians there was a bipartisan support and just a handful of MPs opposed to it. Meaning the public was never really given a choice. In short, the Iraq war was the fault of the politicians and the politicians alone, the voters came nowhere near it.

If you buy someone's domain name, then they'll probably have emails going to it. So you set up a catchall address and discover what accounts are related to it, then you can use the reset password functionality to get access to the accounts. In some cases, they'll have a backup gmail account - and perhaps you can guess what it is (e.g. emails come through to Paul Davis so you guess, oh, maybe they have the paul.davis google account, and reset password on that).

That is the general perception with Red and Orange which can cost more to insure.

There are other factors with car colour:

- Visibility: white and yellow are more visible and get a premium discount.

- Fleet ownership: which mostly means white.

The amount of grey manufactured at the moment is interesting as they attract a higher premium because they are basically the same colour as the road. Black is also deemed less visible.

Spam is far too obviously not speech is the thing. They will continue to use the moniker "Free Speech absolutist", and ignore you. But keep campaigning as the one lone voice with that, I'll still continue cheering you on while the rest of the world ignores your funny viewpoint that isn't believable for you to actually even have.

I'm a 3/4 black partially Jewish gay man, so you can imagine where I stand on "Free Speech absolutism". While I am for the most part on your "side", I want to stick to arguments that are persuasive.

>Of course, we don’t know when—that’s always the $1 million question—but you can do the math to find out whether or not it’s within an expected range of time, which we call the recurrence interval.

We actually have come up with a very consistent techniques and results that can predict the upcoming earthquake (more than 7 Mw) based on offline public data within a few days namely short-term prediction instead of the not so useful early detection (after the earthquake event) and the useless forecast (will happen within this decade). The paper have been rejected for many times now by many prominent journals for example Nature and Science, heck it's even rejected by arXiv.org. Apparently it's a taboo to perform a study and claim on short-term earthquake by USGS, and they even make fun of it that I think is pretty childish to put in a professional website [1],[2]. However, based on our results for short-term prediction of offline data, they are very consistent for five recent major earthquakes across five earthquake prones countries.

The business world changes direction faster than companies can adapt. That was my biggest lesson as an entrepreneur: entrepreneurs don't really pivot into product-market fit, the market pivots into them. The reason capitalism works is because there's this huge sea of dream-chasers out there, most of whom will go bankrupt, so that when the market's needs change there is somebody out there to service them, and everybody who's not effectively servicing them goes to hell and gets another job.

Corporations and management basically exist to buffer this uncertainty. Employment is actually a really bad deal in good economic times; owners reap almost all the windfall of having a successful product. But in bad times, the company keeps paying you even if they're losing money, at least up until they don't. You get a raw deal, but not as raw a deal as the people paying you.

Likewise with strategic direction. The market's needs change faster than senior executives can adapt: if they always produced what the market was actually clamoring for, the company would run around like a chicken with its head cut off (this actually happens when the CEO panics, and a key CEO skill, and part of the reason they're paid so much, is the ability to ignore every piece of market data saying "You're not hot anymore. Nobody wants you, and the market has moved on" and keep doing what you're doing even though your intuition is telling you that you're doomed and going to lose your cushy $20M/year job). Much of the job of middle management is to buffer senior management's freakouts and tell the ICs "Keep calm and carry on; let's see if he still cares about this new hotness next week."

That's true of all rear-ends, but for the ones that are influenced by the presence of a red light camera, it must also mean that the crash wouldn't have happened without a camera-induced behaviour shift in the leading car. So it requires not only an unsafe following car, but also the lead car going too fast towards a yellow and then braking suddenly, upon remembering that they'll lose money for going through a red light. Still the fault of the car in the rear of course, but if the car in front is driving reasonably in the first place, then the red light camera won't have any effect. The ones who get rear-ended are the ones who were going to anyway, camera or not.

For modern large-scale production systems I agree except in cases where performance is critical. To choose a wild example - a microservice serving geospatial queries over millions of objects that can exist anywhere in the world has plenty of parallelism at the level of each query, but handling multiple queries can be done by scaling horizontally with multiple instances of the service.

Instead of "just throw it on a thread and forget about it" - in a production environment, use the job queue. You gain isolation and observability - you can see the job parameters and know nothing else came across, except data from the DB etc.

If a political party ships innocent people off to concentration camps without due process and promises to take over allied nations by any means necessary — and someone supports that party despite, or even because of, those policies — then there is nothing left to see or to understand. You hate {DEI|taxation|government waste|woke culture} so much that you're willing to upend democracy and centuries-old alliances just to see it gone? OK. It's a matter of axiomatically incompatible worldviews at that point.

Moreover, cults of personality are shockingly common. Many people simply do not reason themselves into their political positions. Probe their beliefs beyond surface level and there's no consistency beyond "ingroup good, outgroup bad."

I agree that the current nuclear proposal seems intended principally to extend the life of the coal and gas plants. It's likely born from a cynical attitude of 'who cares about how much the nuclear plants will cost when/if they do get built, just kick the carbon-neutrality can down the road another decade and let the next generation of politicians deal with it.'

I do wonder if there'll ever be a desire to build nuclear plants for baseload firming, though. What amount of excess capacity has to be built in to an all-renewables + storage grid to give the the same reliability as the current grid? Could nuclear power ever be cheap enough to compete on ROI with the marginal providers, the last ~5 gigawatts of wind or solar needed?
