Another point in the article is how the dendrites provide local storage and 2-layer NN processing for the neuron. Is this even considered in ML representations?
I think a big reason arcades were popular before was because the home gaming experience wasn't the same, since the arcades had big screens and better equipment. I think VR brings us back there -- most people can't yet afford the best VR helmets with motion platforms. So you go to the arcade to get that.
I hear you, but I think colonizing the galaxy might still be feasible. If we can get to the point where we have the technology to colonize Mars, which will hopefully happen this century, then I would imagine it probably won't be long after that until we manage to have permanent space habitats that harvest materials from asteroids.

If we have fusion power, durable permanent space habitats, and the technology to harvest materials from asteroids, then traveling to the next star system doesn't seem so far-fetched anymore. If we could just reach 0.1c, we could make it to Alpha Centauri in less than 50 years. Once we make it there, if we're already comfortable living in space, we don't even need to worry about terraforming or anything lengthy and complicated like that, we can just harvest asteroids and build more space stations and ships.

Not a physicist, but I see Project Orion could have reached 0.33% of the speed of light. Would it be realistic to extend that design to accelerate to 0.1c?
Why Morality Is Objective
Mozilla has been tracking cpu utilization/power consumption issues with certain MacBooks since Quantum was released. It seems to mostly affect MacBook Retinas without discrete GPUs. From the big tracker it appears the latest theory is it caused by an interaction between Firefox's compositor and the macOS compositor.
I was the same way and then stopped fucking with the roms when a car accident happened in front of me and I discovered dialing 911 crashed the rom I had. Testing later showed 100% crash rate on 911 calls. It was the most popular rom at the time for my version of the s5 as well...
Ah, you should’ve seen what we had before Google Maps — https://images.app.goo.gl/JQ5xAhP8HpZjRNby7 The map was a static image, you had to click to change zoom levels and wait for the entire page to reload, or click to move in a cardinal direction and then agonizingly wait for the page to reload. The idea you could have infinite scrolling tiles of map with a simple way to map directions that auto-completed street names parsing from a plain English search — that was basically a revelation. :) Though MapQuest did give decent directions and a nice overview of where you were going.

Before that, you had to buy a book every year to keep in a glove compartment and look up street names in an alphabetical index, then go to a page number, look for a row and column and then plot a route by flipping between many pages or having traveled there before (aka getting lost) https://images.app.goo.gl/SdS9Z1rfs3HPJJwA9

Also a Google Maps innovation—trying to accurately put street numbers on a map. You’d often know, in some books, where street numbers began and ended at intersections, but it was extra detail and was often left out or entirely wrong. Of course it’s still wrong today, but street view really changed all that.
I came across of it, but it didn't seemed usefull for it. I will check it out again, thx
This isn't quite right. If you take the mass of Sgr A* (the black hole in the center of the galaxy) and divide it by the volume of a sphere (let's ignore rotation for simplicity) with the radius of the event horizon, you do get a density value near that of water. But almost all of the mass is concentrated in or near the singularity. If you ignore the small amount of stuff falling into Sgr A* at any given moment, the density at the event horizon is 0.
The Perfect Carbonfibre Finish
This one here is a slightly different case to "intentional but mistaken". It is however one I've seen in software engineering environments: Person A designs something (in this case it's a gun, in software it could be an architectural pattern), Person B then insists on adjusting it, either ignoring or misunderstanding Person A's idea, and the result is something that is quite flawed. The best solution I think for these sorts of problems is for either Person A to be in a position of authority such that Person B _can't_ modify the design, or for Person A to design it exactly how Person B expects it to be designed.

> I'm not sure why the author is talking about gravity ripping you apart in a black hole. It Is Known [tm] that larger black holes have pretty gentle event horizons.

But the article isn't about what happens at the event horizon. It's about what happens at the singularity, well inside of the event horizon for astrophysical black holes.

I was a reservist in the mid-80s, carrying FN C1s stamped 1959, or sometimes even 1958. They were heavy, but I still quite liked them otherwise.
One thing I like about this game is that it loads and starts very fast. Chromium tells me it loads in 1.05s and starts after an additional 0.01s. That's fast enough that it seems instantaneous to me when I click on the link.

Also, I like the cheating message that you get in the Chromium console (unfortunately it doesn't seem to work in Firefox). :-)
I'd love for Apple to keep the SE up-to-date hardware wise. The only thing that I'd like more than that would be if Google brought back a new and improved G1. The HN crowd isn't the average consumer, and I know that's why what most of us really want isn't a reality, but... I appreciate reading the sentiment on here for the classics (those which have great function/style).
How to Get Rid of Acne Redness Fast?
The only one I miss in Python that is not in any other package is matplotlib. Is there any clojure alternatives?
The short answer: It's hard!

I implemented a HTTP/2 library for .NET (https://github.com/Matthias247/http2dotnet). It took quite a lot of time and dedication to get it spec conformant. I doubt that most employers (apart from some CDN) would have allowed me spending the time to get it to that level. And yet it still has lots of potential for improvement.

HTTP/3 might be even harder (I haven't read the spec yet, but the whole UDP assembly and inclusion of encryption sounds more complicated).

Compared to that building a small HTTP/1.1 library or a framework around it is much more approachable and might be also more rewarding.
Drill Through Anything (Conductive) with Electrical Discharge Machining
I actually only really hate this because now it requires two active hands to control the map element. I'm sure google already did consider this when they decided to change the functionality
> Because node-red makes exceptionally well use of the dynamic programming paradigm

Because of flexibility around the payload/context property. I can map anything generic through abstracts and T1,T2,... In c#, but it's not enough

Not sure about anything use related. Or I need to reduce the flexibility that I wanted before and look to the mapped properties only and ignore the rest. Which would be a lot easier
Because parents have kids and before that they didn't, so they can make a solid comparison. It's not common for someone without a kid to have repeated interruptions throughout the day and night and then not have any opportunity to catch up and recover from those. But it is common among parents.

This reactionary and naive antagonism toward parents is silly and wrong-headed.

Hire an engineer who needs accommodation. I mean that in jest of course, but only sort of. For a while I had an engineer on my team who was dyslexic and while not color blind themselves, were very in tune with the color blind community. They made huge improvements on not only our front end UX, but also on our codebase.

For example, apparently camelCase is really bad for dyslexics, and interstitial underscores are always_preferred.
It's not yet implemented: https://github.com/fyne-io/fyne/issues/67
> That can definitely be true, because in Europe the size of the salary matters much less than in the US[1].

I don't believe in that. Yes, the housing prices might scale with the income. However if I want to buy a car, it's about the same price here and there. Just that my income is lower, and I have to save a lot longer for that. The same is true for all electronics devices, going to vacation, etc.
Ah, yes, I had to spend an afternoon disabling that in 2011.
Why Honesty and Integrity Are Critical for Prosperity
You’d be surprised!
I take issue with the "dendrites know more than neurons" bit. The fact that they respond to almost all inputs suggests they are performing a different function that a somatic spike. My preferred explanation for that is that any type of input can be predictive of a somatic spike and that has to be transduced somewhere.

Specific patterns of concurrent input on a dendrite drive sub-threshold depolarization which is theorized to be key for sequence prediction.
Disable javascript and see if it still works.
I'm not sure what you're getting at. The AR-18 was intended as a cost-reduced substitute for the AR-15, hence the change to a stamped steel receiver instead of forged aluminum. Design wise the AR-18 is still more closely related to the AR-15 than the AK-47, although it is significantly different from both.
Since I see many rifle aficionados here, I am going to sieze this opportunity and ask a question which has been vexing me since long.

Is Kalashnikova the first open source rifle in the world?

Just like we have open source software where anyone can grab the code and start further enhancements on his own, it appears AK47 and other rifles of the Kalashnikova are open sourced, with many militias around the world able to either procure them or manufacture them on their own.

Am I right in my proposed theory?
I always thought of it the other way around: eSIM for primary, while using the secondary physical SIM slot for using local SIM cards while travelling.

Ideally either approach would work, it’d really depend on how mobile service providers around the world adopt eSIM.

Input type="number" is the only way to get a numeric keyboard that supports floating point numbers on iOS. The "pattern" trick gives you nice big numbers, but no decimal point. Apparently, the "inputmode" property will solve this in the future, but it doesn't yet.

I learnt this the hard way while trying to get my text input fields to show the correct numeric keyboard on this site: https://percentagecalculatortools.com -- I eventually had to switch back to number inputs. I couldn't find any other solution that worked.

Clojure itself is not a new, shiny thing. What's new and shiny is "I switched from Python to a language that will make me write more LOC."
I use type=“tel” for that. Works better than “number”.
> While input type="number triggers numeric keyboards on touchscreens leading to better mobile UX, that can also be accomplished by configuring the pattern attribute in a certain way.

Sorry, it's silly to propose features which work only on iOS. Standards-wise, I am not even sure if browsers should be parsing regex to accomplish this goal.

Input type=number can just be about what keypad to show, and shed the up-down arrows for increment/decrement. That's a valid complaint.
I'm having the same exact experience. I'm considering heading to the Apple store and asking for a fresh battery replacement.

From the headline I'd immediately guess many groups of fish were living in above-zero waters adjacent to sub-zero waters containing food. Eventually some of them experienced a random mutation which made them slightly less freezy and earned them free food!

The account of the actual sequence of mutations required was really interesting, though. It's good to see an article go into that kind of detail!
Haven‘t been mentioned here yet I believe, but the „new“ iPhone SE also comes with 128GB!

This was the major reason for me to switch to an iPhone 8, because 64GB just wasn‘t enough.

But I still dislike the larger form factor and especially the stupid glass back which is super slippery, it will slide down a chair if the chair is slightly round. But yay, we finally got wireless charging who absolutely NOBODY is using. I havent heard of a single person since it has been released 1,5 years ago.

I‘m in love with the USB-C charging of the iPhone 8 though - which hardly gets mentioned. In my car I have a powerful Anker USB-C charger and if I get in the car with just 50% battery, a 20min ride will easy get me to 80%.

Hoping to see an iPhone SE2 in the future...
See also the street shootout scene in the Michael Mann bank robber film Heat, in which the bank robbers employ this tactic while trying to escape the police.

(Arguably the tactical prowess displayed by the bank robbers was unrealistic, since it suggested the characters had a military background that wasn't otherwise hinted at. It's generally a great movie though, Michael Mann at his best.)
Recently updated my nephews One Plus 3 from 2016. The software updates are even tested on the old hardware. You can also send any of their previous phones in for repair, the repair costs are listed online and actually reasonable.
As an explicit example, winglets on airplanes were conceptualized from watching the way bird wings flap, observing the curl on the outer edge of the wing, discovering that it controls vortex formation, and then applying the same concepts to fixed wings.

That kind of thing happens all the time in aerodynamics, fluid dynamics, mechanics, etc — precisely because evolution is a pretty good optimization function, and so “natural” solutions can often be very close to optimal, but using hard-to-discover quirks of physics.
There are multiple forms of dyslexia. For instance, I have one form and I have a daughter with a completely different variety. I have no problems with camelCase, but I am very particular about my fonts (Consolas for life).

I don’t like _ because of the keyboard placement. I don’t trust my pinkies at those angles.

It triggers catabolism certainly. So as a result, apoptosis inducing metabolic pathways will be triggered.
An additional reason not to use type=number just because something is only made up of numbers. Good thing we have the pattern attribute.
It's hardly the best. It just happened to be "good enough", so we mostly stick to incremental improvements (free-floated rails etc) from here on, just as e.g. Russia does with AK - it's hard to justify redoing it from scratch, considering the relatively minor benefits of doing so.

An in case of the AR family, this is further exacerbated by its modular nature, and the desire to preserve the now de facto standard interfaces between components when updating them individually (software engineers should find this part very familiar...).
This only shows computers are a subset of what brains can do, not that Turing machines can do whatever brains can do.
I'd say it's actually very hard to find effective charities. Most charities don't evaluate the outcomes versus the cost of their work, regardless of their earnest desire to be helpful. While Charity Navigator and GiveWell can weed out some of the truly bad orgs, the orgs trying to do the right thing and being ineffective is probably a larger problem than anyone realizes. You want to make a huge impact on people's lives? Solve food transportation, early cancer diagnosis, or basic medical care. Those are easily the most impactful and least sexy parts of making lives better.
At any fixed distance from the sun there's only one speed where you have a stable spherical orbit. Since actual spheres have poles that don't move much at all, any dyson swarm that approaches a sphere has to consist of parts in a number of different orbits. That's inconvinient for a whole host of reasons (sun often occluded as segments move below you, movement between segments is difficult etc.). In comparison a swarm that looks like a narrow ring has no such problem: everything is approximately at the same speed while traveling in the same direction. For that reason alone rings are the superior choice regardless if your structure is solid or a swarm of independend objects.

Maybe multiple rings would form for political reasons, but that just makes the individual rings proportionally thinner.
That's terrifying! I stopped tinkering with ROMs because the one I was on would crash a call 5-10 minutes in. Calls are usually short, so it didn't bug me until it crashed twice during a long call with my parents. I realized my phone had become really bad at being a phone.

I switched to iOS shortly after because when using stock all my Google apps would constantly throw warnings that I had denied location services. Even apps like Gmail would prompt me with every new send.

What would the wheel do otherwise? I don't want the scroll wheel to pan vertically. I guess doing nothing is acceptable, but I honestly zoom enough that I actually prefer the one handed action on my computer. I probably would just go back to double clicking if scrolling to zoom required a modifier, and that's worse UX because there's all sorts of stuff I could accidentally click on when double clicking to zoom.

If they do choose to go with a modifier, I hope it's not control, because I hate accidentally zooming the page with the browser's zoom since it breaks nearly every page out there.
It was not open sourced. It was produced and stockpiled in enormous quantities by state militaries, the Soviet Union tended to license the blueprints instead of shipping examples to its satellites, and then when all the assorted states using it collapsed they lost control of their stockpiles.

A good book for the history of it is The Gun (https://www.amazon.com/Gun-C-J-Chivers/dp/0743271734). Its essential point is that weapons of war are usually very durable goods, and outlive the geopolitical purposes for which they are produced and originally distributed. Kalashnikov-family rifles happen to have arrived in particularly unstable places.

EDIT: Weapons built by local forces tend to be more... idiosyncratic. Though compatibility with AK ammunition is a desirable feature. https://atwar.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/08/08/taliban-gun-locke...

Also, another example of this durability is the Humvees that have ended up in Syrian government hands after going through three different owners - US, Iraq, ISIS, Syria.
The 6+ also has problems with the NAND popping off. Would you know of anyone in the US that can reball that chip for a decent price?
Amazing how many people miss this. It’s like confusing the implication with the equivalence.
In any game of chance where the gambler has finite money and the house has infinite money, the gambler always loses if he plays long enough, even if the odds are in his favor.
But this would compete with the browser zoom
My understanding from my coworker was that while some forms of dyslexics can process camelCase no problem, the underscore will never be worse than camelCase and will sometimes be better, so it's better to just use underscore. I'm certainly no expert though.
> The hope for them is that through this rapid expansion, they've bought enough leverage to raise prices without losing too many customers.

In other words: sell at a loss, run all the competition out of business, then raise prices?
You wouldn't have to use an opaque object - you could use an object that contains both the character index and the byte index, which the indexing operation would understand how to use.
A few people I follow have left SF for NYC. I’m curious if anyone on HN has done the same and why.
They are still partially right, and I'd go so far as to say were totally right if efficiency wasn't a concern. From the programmers point of view utf-32 is still by far the easiest memory representation to use.

Back in the day, when the Unicode people were pushing it as an alternative to whatever the ISO standard is that solved the same problem, they argued it was better than the ISO standard because the was only one encoding, UCS2 whereas ISO defined 8, 16 and 32 bit encodings. They said they could get away with that because 16 bits was enough for all modern languages (read: languages in use). Windows, Java and Javascript among others drank the kool-aid.

But they were wrong, 16 bits was not enough. USC2 morphed into UTF-16, which is actually worse than UTF-8 because if has the byte ordering problem.

To make matters worse, Unicode decided to abandon grapheme == code point. (This means there is ä and ä. They look identical, but one is '\xe4' and the other is a combining diaeresis, '\61\u0308', and the latter is now preferred.) I don't know why that did that as it makes string handling fragile, but I notice the encoding chosen for UTF-16 drastically reduced the number of code points available, so I wonder if they were worried about running out. The end result means that makes utf-32 actually harder to parse than utf-8 (which is quite an achievement), so you may as well use utf-8 for everything.
That’s neat. But neurons also trigger multiple neurons. So a single neuron is potentially part of numerous hierarchies.
I still use an iPhone SE. Both of my previous smartphones (Galaxy S3 and Moto X) were significantly larger than the SE and significantly smaller than the XS. The form factor was the only reason I switched and was noticeably better for me from day 1.
I'm so confused. I've never wanted the scroll wheel to do anything but zooming on Google Maps. It's not like there is anywhere to scroll to in the first place?
Nice response. I appreciate it. I could see the case where an entire program/project would want to be statically type checked, but when you are running a repl or something quick you don’t want to have to specify types.

At the repl you want speed and flexibility, on a project level you might want type checking. I don’t know if this already exists, but it seems somewhat useful. I guess the solution is, as you said, to have a third party analyze your code for types
Writing a Program That Edits My Videos
We moved to Portland; we have some family here and wanted a second child (now en route). In the Bay Area we couldn't afford a mortgage on anything with more than one bed one bath. Our apartment was a miserable 800 sqft packed to the gills with stuff; no room for a child to play. We were also stymied by child care, which would have been ~30-35k per child. Here in pdx day care is half that, and we bought a fucking 3 bed 3 bath house with a back yard for 75% of the rent on our 800 sqft SF place.
Venezuela has a ban on personal gun ownership for many people, however many/most people still own guns because the murder rate is very high due to the insane poverty that's gripped the country. One of the leading candidates is talking about removing gun restrictions. The problem isn't that the populace doesn't have guns. Guns do not solve political issues. The US couldn't solve Vietnam's issues despite winning on the battlefield in most incursions. Guns don't solve any problems in nearly any case. Boots on the ground solves problems and lots of them. Basically there's no way individual people can fight against an armed military with modern weapons and transport.
