Really true. We need more examples of people completing PhDs in 1-2 years because they've already done the research and written most of the thesis. It's totally possible.
No, you're right. So what on OpenBSD can provide that information in a similarly convenient way?
what does this do that a smartphone doesn't? If anything, is it too niche?

Really can't see this taking off.
Woaa yea very similar and even the name is similar.
It didn't exist when I started the project.
Looks nice.
More details would be awesome. Maybe a post somewhere (github?) with pictures and ideas of what you can do with all of this stuff?
The shape that the screen must make to fold flat while avoiding a crease is quite obvious. The mechanics of a hinge that keeps the screen protected and supported as it folds between open and closed states is not so obvious. I expect when you say "the first image I had in my head" you are only talking about the screen folded position, not the hinge that accomplishes this!
The irony is Disney built it's success on re-telling classic tales from the public domain then turned and became the biggest proponent for copyright, denying those after them the same playing field they had.

Which is why incumbents tend to welcome onerous regulations once they are big enough to deal with them. It locks the young upstarts from coming up behind them and potentially overtaking them.

Amazon wasn't for having to collect state sales tax until they figured it out. Facebook didn't start talking about regulation being a good thing until they were big enough to easily absorb the impact.

Whats even better - you get to blame the regulations as the gatekeeper, not your own sleazy behavior.
Why? Its a reasonable assumption.
Seems to me you're just describing reinforcement learning. Youre just saying a human child can adapt to the new problem faster than the AI can adapt, which is true but not the argument you've been making in this thread.
My ASUS Chromebook Flip C302CA (released January 5th, 2017) supports this, so it's really a hardware support issue. Take into account that most devices that would benefit from USB C/Thunderbolt 3 only really began supporting it in (very) late 2018/beginning of 2019. Most consumer devices just don't have the right connectivity, but that's changing.

>Almost 20 years have passed since then and nothing similar is being done anymore, at least not in the mainstream.

Bear in mind that over 20 years, a lot of what was groundbreaking in terms of animation quality has become mainstream, so it's not surprising that people wouldn't be as floored by Toy Story 4 as they were by Toy Story. Anime was a relatively new phenomenon for many in the West back then as well - Cowboy Bebop was one of the "gateway drugs" into anime for a lot of people.

I wouldn't assume that work of high quality is no longer being done - I've heard people talk about Your Name as if Makoto Shinkai were the next Hayao Miyazaki for instance - it just doesn't stand out in a crowd the way it once did, now that anime is no longer as niche and people have services like Crunchyroll.
Very nice. I love your Dory mascot!
>it's actually quite simple and integrates better with the css / js

That is just untrue, it that was the case, people wouldn't go for hacks, I agree the web for some parts are in a better state now that a few years ago, but for me it is still a nightmare, between features / tags / attributes that only works with X or Y browser, the number of bugs, the number of features still not released after being requested for years. Also if you want a specific design for your websites, sometimes going for <div> instead of "that more correct element that adds loads of shitty css by default" prevents some headache and allows you to prototype faster.
You’re likely perceiving female pheromones. There have been studies that men can reliably detect fertile phases from sniffing worn shirts alone. I‘ve tried diving a bit into this topic after noticing something fruity (a good smell) in the middle of my cycle, which somehow intensified when being around my so. Interestingly it disappeared in the years I’ve been on hormonal contraception (stopped now due to a couple of more severe side effects, luckily I haven’t been on them for long).

Asking the women whether your perception is true would likely have led nowhere as most women are not aware of their fertile phases.

Search keyword seems to be ‚copulins‘, but the area appears a bit underexplored. Lots of companies trying to sell snake oil. Lots of urban legends about mind control. Some girls do try using their natural perfume to their advantage though.

The thing about compatibility you mention is more related to the immune system I think, and mutual.
I've seen the blind leading the blind walking around in the city before. They both had walking sticks. I assume the one had slightly better vision than the other or maybe had been through that part of town before, but it did make me laugh.
KeyBase seems nice but a total different usecase I would argue.

> Of course you could train a NN to do arithmetic

Are we really capable of teaching a NN to parse and calculate an arbitrary arithmetic expression? Because that sounds incredibly impressive...
Ok, a combustion engine for an F150 plus transmission is $3k? I’m off by $2k? That doesn’t really change the overall equation much.

Just pointing out that an electric pickup is viable with today’s battery prices. The inflection point for major changes is just around the corner, and if batteries ever hit $50/kWh, the equation will be even more compelling.
Deming refers to Edward Deming [1], and there is a W. Edward Deming Institute that still teaches his principles. [2] Since that was 30 years ago I doubt they still have the same training material today, but I wouldn't have the rights to share it even if it was the same, sorry.

Maybe general intelligence is not a goal to pursue, isn't general intelligence of machines what would eventually lead to the 'singularity' that seems far away now but is plausible in theory? Maybe John's real last name is Connor.
USB4 is more than just "renamed Thunderbolt 3". It adds USB 3.x tunneling while Thunderbolt 3 could only tunnel PCIe and DisplayPort (AFAIK, it faked USB 3.x tunneling by having a PCIe USB 3.x host on the device).
For MakerDAO, there is basically the "DAO shareholders" who profit from fees, but are the ones who will lose if the peg is not resolved. And for the other token, DAI, it needs a $1 peg and not pegged to etheruem.
Exactly. Either a message expires or it get's viewed.
> AlphaGo didn't learn the rules of Go. It has no idea what those rules are, it's just been trained through trial and error not to break them.

When given a problem it has never seen before it was able to acquire knowledge of the problem and then apply that knowledge as to solve the problem. Thats the definition of learning and intelligence that can generally be applied to any problem.

> I think it's becoming clear that they are merely cognitive tools we bring to bear in the service of our higher level general intelligence machinery.

What are you on about? Cognition and intelligence are the same thing if it's capable of cognition or as you put it applying "cognitive tools" then it's capable of intelligence.
If the responses on their site to articles posted there are any indicator they don't even have a built-in audience any more. Even articles that make it to the front page here, the hn comments are half or more people complaining (rightly so imho) about medium.

Medium used to be good, people published good content there. but as they increased their gatekeeping it seemed like there was a sharp decline in quality and quantity.
Reality check: there is no reason to assume that marriage and adulthood meaning in hunter-gatherer society is same as now. We don't know have detailed sociological studies of hunter-gatherers.

There is nothing about marriage or being sexual or able to provide offspring that implies the older and stronger individuals in your tribe will let you have full rights or do what you want. For all we know, you are still expected to do what they tell to you, except that you are pregnant as a bonus.

The problem is not the speculative execution. It's the observable side effects.
My grand mother was born in 1894 and was tenth of eleven children. She spent here early years on a farm helping with her younger brother. She attended school until the 4th grade. At 11-years-old, she was working full time in a cotton mill. At 14 she had her first child.

My grandmother and grandfather maintained a farm while both worked in the mill. Mornings started at 4:30am six days a week.

Grandma had a picture with all of the young girls at the mill, and would always point out a couple of the unmarried girls who were 16 in the picture and say that they were old maids.

It is possible, maybe likely, that we have extended childhood too far, and I am sure that given the right upbringing, my 11-year-old daughter could function just as well as my grandmother, but I have not prepared my daughter for that type of life. My daughter has never been required to start the day with chores; she has never been responsible for others. If we are going to change how we treat teens, we need to start a lot younger and change how we raise children.
From the authors Bio: "Daniel Yergin is the author of the bestseller The Quest: Energy, Security, and the Remaking of the Modern World which has been hailed as “a fascinating saga” about the “quest for sustainable resources of energy,” and “the book you must read to understand the future of our economy and our way of life,” ..."

So it's more a book to persuade (feelings) than inform (facts) - no wonder they aren't mentioned.

The Thinkpad T490 (not the T490s) does have upgradeable RAM -- we settled on it for all our new developer machines. It's got an amazing keyboard and is fairly lightweight, but has every port you'd need, even VGA (and costs ~$1,000 for 8GB/256GB SSD).

I'm glad you called out biology as a counterexample. In my grad school/postdoc experience, publishing a meaningful paper in the wet lab biosciences often requires tens of thousands of dollars in consumable materials, as well as $100k+ of lab hardware. Casual garage researchers have very little opportunity to contribute to the field in meaningful ways.
VLANs for Sysadmins: The Basics
Agreed about the meaningful choices and dynamically generated reactions from NPC, but general AI is not needed for this in my opinion.

You also have to consider whether the complaints of "many" players matter when publishing a game. A percentage of vocal players will complain no matter what. Yes, they will complain even if you somehow implement true AI!

It's a shame that competition based on displays (and large size) is all the rage, but the battery tech is in the stone age by comparison. Like, who wants a battery that stays charged under average load more than a day, or a battery that doesn't diminish in capacity after 8 months?

Really most people learn by a mix of the two. It’s going to take you a lot longer to learn chess is you have no clue on the rules.

But on the other hand if you get into rote memorization before you start the game it’s going to slow you down by having no context.
You just make static noises, like a radio signal being lost.

Also, you are lacking in the abstract thought department. Get that fixed, for your own benefit.
Ingo from ArangoDB here:

If you need to scale-out, the ArangoDB packages are more affordable then MongoDB Atlas, as you don't need to spin-up a whole 3 node replica-set to add another shard to your cluster. The smaller instances are cheaper in Atlas, here you benefit from the established cloud service, which can negotiate better conditions with the large cloud providers. However, we will pass on lower cloud costs to customers, so there is hope that we will move closer over time. But, I don't see ArangoDB in direct competition with smaller, pure document-use cases. Most users need the multi-model capabilities and use graphs in combination with document operations.
Lessons from the cyberattack on India’s largest nuclear power plant
Easy to find datasets but hard to use data collected by the government - for example, tons of gov data is released in PDF format (and other obscure XML formats). Even when the data is available in machine readable formats, you still need to read through 50 page read me/data dictionary files to understand the meaning of the data.

There is tremendous value in cleaning and repackaging this data in easy formats (offering an API would be awesome too). Even better if the provider can offer human support.

Obviously it would be ideal if the government releases all this data in easy formats in the first place, which a lot of governments do, but not all. The second best thing is for some private companies to help, even if they charge for it.

Not your parent commenter, but speaking from experience.

Here is a trivial example : I was looking for a list of all government websites (and their social media accounts), starting with federal all the way to small towns. There are lists, but none complete - at least I couldn't find, and definitely not with their social media handles.

You're correct the 2012 model was when they stopped offering the Anti-glare screen - it was 1680x1050(if i recall?) compared to the default glossy screen's 1440x900, i recall there also being a 1680x1050 glossy display upgrade available too, at a glance the two could be distinguished by the aluminium bezel on the anti-glare display.

I picked up a grey market anti-glare display assembly (upper clamshell) for my 2011 model back in 2012 or so and it dutifully served another few years.
Yes, probably. At which point, the "videogame" part is irrelevant.

The big problem with mainline support for the CHIP is that it uses raw flash directly connected to the SoC - and to make matters worse, on many boards that's MLC flash which is particularly nasty and is very firmly not supported by mainline Linux. This seems to dodge that problem by using eMMC with a built-in controller.
It's a nice but ordinary result.
Better than the hardware, certainly. But advances in surveying technology make new surveys worthwhile, occasionally, so the data does have a lifespan. Of course better analysis techniques or more powerful hardware for old data makes a big difference too.
You might be better off just using Google Maps Places API. IDK the traffic levels for your app but depending on your usecase it might be much easier to just use Google's API instead of trying to maintain a list yourself.
Really it isn't crazy but low level dickery of "they are competing with us stop that". If you replace "end democracy" as "end our company's influence on it beyond one vote per person" you'll get a way more accurate picture of what all vested interest are saying.

The harsh truth is that they still sucked before the internet if not worse. It is just that a middle or high school student could prove them woefully inaccurate with low level basics with an internet connection. Hell any teenager could ask them how goddamn dumb do they think they are about the moral panics flat out made up by them or credelously accepted like rainbow parties. Even the cool dude would gotten have bullshit claimed about getting seven different girls with color coordinated lipstick to blow him. And this isn't a purposely absurd rhetorical anecdote - these are real claims!

Nobody is flawless here - I believe the proper model is freedom of the press and calling out when the press is total fucking bullshit and letting it go out of business on its own.
That's a utilitarian definition of "goodness," which can be useful (though not always). But it's not how people actually experience "goodness".

It's like suggesting that everyone should give gifts of 100 dollars to each other for Christmas. No one wants that. People aren't rational agents with utility functions or, if they are, the utility functions are unknown, vary from person to person, and are not solely based on material well-being (my guess is that they're mostly based on the esteem we estimate that we have in the eyes of our peers).

Pick a problem in your community, directly contribute to its solution, and you will be happier plus the people around you will respect you more. If you give money, that won't be the case. You can insist on a strict utilitarian perspective but you're fighting reality and you can't rewire your brain.

Sure, there are probably Apple haters here too. Never said there aren't. But given that this is supposed to be a community of technically inclined people it's really bizarre to see people make incredibly silly excuses for a ~$4000 machine.

The codeword is to make it clear your words should be taken 100% seriously without considering the risk you are being coerced / spoofed with AI. If I agree on a word in advance with someone that no one could possibly guess and insert into an attempt to coerce / spoof my voice, then if there is truly an emergency in which I need this person to wire money to a random account, they will actually do it because they will know my request is genuine.

If I'm being coerced, I could have a codeword to indicate that. If I'm being spoofed with AI, I'm not in control of "my" words, so I can't. I need instead to prove when I'm not being spoofed with AI. That's the purpose of this second codeword.

That doesn’t look like the general trend even in the early 2000s. Perl projects tend to be the maintenance of old systems instead of the development of new ones. New blood is pooling around JS/TS and Python. At best Perl’s popularity has stagnated.
The difficulty is knowing who's a good supervisor. As a msc student, you may only know of their academic reputation, which has nothing to do with quality or attitude to supervision. In retrospect I was lucky, and my supervisors bio picture has him hanging in a hammock, which, if I had known, could have been exactly the indicator I should have looked for.

Either way, try if you can, and don't hesitate to stop with the current supervisor if it's just not working for you. No reason to continue on an unhappy path. It's always worth choosing your own sanity.
I may be somewhat confused, but how would a different IP address/system prevent centralized services? It seems to me that the same market problems, the strong vendor lock-ins explained in the post, will still persist in IPv6. There's no mention of how/why IPv6 solves those problems, just that they do...
They acquired whole phone division though, not just brand. E.g. inventor specified in this patent also have patents for Motorola hinged/sliding devices back to 2006, so it seems Lenovo didn't bought their corpse only for brand, like with HMD/Nokia.

It doesn't prevent them, but with IPv6 everyone can take back control. With IPv4, you are unable to get a decent amount of public addresses to run your service (if you are not having tons of money already).
My current guest is a super smeller. It's mildly annoying. She finds the scent of everything to be too strong, from a pizza box in the trash to the soap in the bathroom to the dirty laundry in the closet. She'll literally wake up in the middle of the night and ask if someone ate pizza because the smell is overwhelming her nose.
