To truly answer such questions you should have a (set of) metrics to measure what is better and run parallel universes for a significant amount of time to check which version is better according to your metrics.

>> Think of all the fossil fuel infrastructure, wouldn't it be a waste to stop using it?

Most likely, it would be a waste to stop using it right now.

>> Your goals and goals of your genes are not the same. You should care about as much about your genes as your genes care for you (not at all)

Living organisms are genetically wired to care about their genes, e.g., to express them (e.g., to write posts on HN and publish scientific papers) and spread them (to have kids).

From my perspective there is very little difference. The interface I get out of Firefox is exposed as if it were a text-based browser for lack of a better analogy (it's not quite the same, but the differences are subtle and not obvious at first glance). But I also get the ability to do all the non-text-based-browser things with that interface instead of being limited to what a text-based browser supports, and those things can be made accessible to me. But the really big advantage is that my skills at driving Firefox also work with Chrome, IE, and Edge, and any web view on the platform. Plus there is a large common subset that is shared with all the desktop apps as well.

I'm not the right person if you're looking for someone who shares enthusiasm for text-based browsers, in other words. In general I would like it if people would stop using blindness as a point in their arguments that they're necessary because it shows a massive misunderstanding of what the world of accessibility is like.
Because they're in violation? bash + rootless.h for example.

Because they want to restrict your ability to run code (ios does this) GPL3 doesn't allow it.

Because their lawyers told them to?

I also am hesitant to assume AI is the primary reason without a clear statement to that effect.

Others mentioned the pay dispute and previous retirement. One reason I didn’t see mentioned is that since 2016, his play is not at the same level it was. From 2000-2016 he was always among the very best, and for most of a decade he was the best. No player had a better run over those years. Now, he’s still good, and could maintain a long career, but there are many players who are unmistakably stronger, and he’s at the age where a comeback is not super likely.

To Apple itself, though?

I'll second this. The style is clunky and reads as though the author were trying too hard to make every sentence entertaining which mostly detracts from the work. I know Stephen Merity is a serious researcher and the content here is legit given his body of work. But the style /prose in this preprint reminded me a lot of the some of garbage Siraj Raval peddled. Again, to reiterate, I am not commenting on the substance, only the style.

Specifically in what way are proprietary licenses deadly?

Lock-in can certainly be problematic but with more open interchange formats that’s becoming less of an issue.

Saying proprietary licenses are deadly without explanation seems more like zealotry than reasoned consideration.

Thankfully we have alternatives to the GPL like MIT and Apache for people who want to share source but not force that choice on others.
>Having guns is also a great detterent to creeping tyranny(well, at least when the guns owners care enough to do something). If every overreach was met with hundreds of thousands of angry people with guns on Washington, they would stop overreaching.

I find this to be quite ironic since we now have a country run by a lawless president, who was elected with the help of a foreign, adversary and who gave a massive tax cut to billionaires and has done nothing tangible for those gun owners who voted for him.

A federal judge had to include in her ruling that presidents are not kings, which makes you think just what country are we living in when this has to be stated: https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2019/11/mcgahn-testify-subpo...

Sure, it's not unusual for people to vote against their own interest; but what the people you described haven't realized is they are on the same side as the tyrant.

It's slightly delusional to think a few thousand gunmen in a country of over 300 million and an economy of nearly 20 trillion dollars could do what's required to "ruin the US".
Yeah. It’s a bit more nuanced than “they were hacked,” but no one’s data was compromised because of how Nord is setup.
While it may be true, this is, of course, conjecture. Certainly many skills that seemed "uniquely human" have turned out not to be. That does not mean that all such abilities will be amenable to replacement by, as you say, "optimization and learning algorithms." Machine authoring of great art, a problem which may be at least as hard to solve as Artificial General Intelligence, does not seem to be on the horizon any time soon, for example.
The damning change for me was seeing CUPS (which they bought outright, mind you) go from GPL to Apache 2.

Try to run this test. If you query "what is my ip" in duckduckgo, or any of the other ones I mentioned, you will notice in the description of one of the top results this IP: 207.46.13.147. It's a BingBot IP [0]. It's a good enough test to spot where results are coming from.

I simply do not believe LED One's claim lighting is 17%, apparently based on an all tungsten world, nor that electricity is 50% of emissions.

Electricity comes out at 50% only when the category is "Electricity and heating" [1], usually it comes in at 20-30% depending on country. A lobby group promoting adoption of LED lighting in 2006 while all domestic use was still tungsten claims 6% is lighting[2]. Post LED adoption, perhaps 0.5-1%. Does anyone still use tungsten aside from some specialised use given LED bulbs are down to tungsten prices?

It appears to be a small enough percentage I can't find anywhere picking out lighting individually.

There's Fermat's Library [1] which allows for collaborative annotation on pdfs. The only issue I have with them is that they lack highlighting and aren't open source.

With PDF annotation, why not separate the content from the content representation? Have an editor for the original content, and export to pdf. If people want to annotate, give the original content or a copy. Easier to version control this way as well.

I've never understood why Apple feared the GPLv3 so much. Other companies have shipped GPLv3 code for years and haven't suffered for it. What exactly does Apple think would go wrong if it started shipping a modern bash with macOS? Shipping a bundled GPLv3 program doesn't require that the whole system be free software.
Not too much in the way of BSD licensed CIFS server stacks, at least last time I checked. Most of them are proprietary or GPL (or CDDL, in the case of Solaris').

Do you have a reference about DDG using Bing?

It's not mentioned on their site, or their wikipedia entry, or anywhere else I could find, and the results were different when I tried a few searches in them both just now.

Are they "Using Bing" in the same sense they "Use Wikipedia" to put info boxes on the results page sometimes?

Any substandard statistical model fitted to by a simple computer program is superior to what an unaided human could achieve with pen and paper, but few of them can claim to practically "solve" the problem because they are better than crude fit heuristics proposed by humans who are not good calculating machines.

An algorithm can't claim to have "solved" Go, when future versions of the algorithm are expected to achieve vastly superior results, never mind any formal mathematical proof of optimality. What it has demonstrated is that humans aren't very good at Go. Given that Go involves estimating Nash equilibrium responses in a perfect information game with a finite, knowable but extremely large range of possible outcomes, it's perhaps not surprising that Go is the sort of problem that humans are not very good at trying to solve and that computers can incrementally improve on our attempted solutions. Perhaps the more interesting finding from AlphaGoZero is that humans were so bad at Go that not training on human games and theory actually improved performance.

Allee effects, like 25% or less females giving birth in one year, could have caused extinction in populations with 1,000 Neanderthals. Combined with inbreeding and fluctuations in birth and death rates, extinction would have been likely on their timescale over 10,000 years. [1]

I'm not sure, there was a ban screen that showed up, saying that I was using unofficial software to log into my account, and required a self-service unblock process to be completed, which included getting a number of WeChat users to verify/vouch for my account.

Sadly no. Making charts accessible is an unsolved problem. There have been some efforts for accessible graphing calculators that work more or less, but it's not trivial to make a generic one-size-fits-all solution.

For Sheets, the underlying stuff that runs it is quite complicated. They ended up doing something akin to an offscreen model with HTML to make it work because afaik they use a canvas of some sort to draw everything. In fact, unless you turn on braille mode, both products actually have a built-in screen reader that talks via aria live regions. That's terrible practice, but to their credit they got ahead of what the internet was providing for accessibility and didn't have a choice in that regard.

For something you can practically implement without a huge project, I suggest text descriptions of the data. If you want to do a bit better, make it an HTML table--that'll give some convenient navigability for free.
That document claims that accounting for transfers not in income (eg. SNAP payments) are a better measure of "consumption poverty rate", yet food insecurity rates are barely returning to 1995 levels. So to me it's really not clear that this other "consumption poverty rate" is an improved measure.

2019 Wriston Lecture: The End of the Computer Age
It already does this, when you click the "say" button it generates a base64 url. You can share that url. The problem is when someone loads the URL the browser will not autoplay the clip. You have to click a button (or some other user interaction) to start the Web Audio API, it's a really annoying limitation that I wish Firefox and Chrome would change to a one-time popup confirmation. So what I did was hide the text box until after playing the audio.

So basically crustaceans have private cloud brains. Looks like docker is alive and well at the bottom of the ocean :)
nobody has mentioned exercise.

I remember the study with the "rats in a sterile environment" vs "rats in a rich environment" where the latter group formed many more brain connections.

In the end, they found it wasn't the rich environment that caused the brain growth, it was the exercise wheel in it.
Inflammation can occur all over the body, it's a central part of the immune response, triggered for example by pathogens, damaged cells or toxic compounds. The type of inflammation that correlates with more and more (mental) disease is usually in relation to chronic inflammation, meaning the normally healthy immune response doesn't return to baseline and starts harming the body. This can occur because of chronic stress, obesity, a dysfunctional gut microbiome, chronic infections or as side effect of medical treatments, amongst other, and probably a lot of unknown, causes.
I recently downloaded the app “dream.land” after seeing this [1] Reddit post that uses photogrammetry to give realistic 3D models of whatever you scan (I did my living room). If you could augment furniture models in real-time on top of that I think you would be on to something!

The secure communication isn't the problem; it's having the commitment, discipline and the organizational operational security to use it.
The paper puts in question the value added of individual teacher on a specific class - which is not really a very surprising finding, given that the incentive payments in the US are known to push "good" teachers to take "good" classes if they can get them (not sure if this applies in NY but it's a common critique of the incentive systems - the worst students get even worse services and outcomes as pre- and post-intervention results are really difficult to measure and compare if the only data are really badly done central exams).

At system level however the data is very robust: in a developed education system the best you can do is to give autonomy to schools and teachers, assure some kind of accountability (not necessarily exams, but eg European-style 'supportive' inspection) and strengthening teachers through training and support is the most effective education intervention, except maybe for free school meals.
I live in Berlin. While a lot of press revolves around the rent costs, owning an apartment or home is getting extremely expensive and out of reach for many.
Rents are kept somewhat in check but the buying market is insane. I can rent for less than 1000€ something that would cost more than 350-400k€ to buy, especially when you add the usury 7.14% commission tacked on by the real estate agent and 8% closing fees.
Was taking a look at what pings this website was sending (this is probably the first time I've ever been on tiktok.com)

Sent some pings to:

Not sure what either of them are for sure, but from first look it seems like both are monitoring scripts (see https://sf16-muse-va.ibytedtos.com/obj/ttfe-maliva/slardar/p...)
, but will do a deep dive soon. Interesting they need this just for a simple press release.

Also notice the person posting is explicitly from "TikTok US" and not just "TikTok". Interesting decision.

> Does aesthetics add utility to the vehicle? No

If you don't think there wasn't a ton of thought put into the aesthetics of the cybertruck, you don't understand how cars are designed. It's not a design that emerges from pure functionalism at all. Pure functionalism is a bus or a train, a dump truck, or a goods delivery vehicle, like the kind that brings beer to a corner store. I say that as someone who would probably buy a cybertruck.

Reminds me of intercooler.js in various ways: https://intercoolerjs.org/

Intercooler seems more appropriate if you're looking to mostly build a standard HTML site with some Javascript/AJAX enhancements though, and (at least from a quick look) EHTML seems to be more aimed at being a templating language with HTML-like syntax that you can use instead of generating the HTML with backend templating.
A simple tape measure will work fine. But make sure not to forget about wall thickness.

For an exterior an inch or 2 of accuracy is fine, but for interiors you should try to be accurate to around 1/4 or 1/8 inch (.5 cm).

It doesn't take as long as you might think, especially if you have a helper.

Make a rough floor plan (on paper), then measure and mark each wall on the plan.

Then enter all that into the program, and just stare at it - make sure it looks right. (It's far too easy to mess up, or not do the wall thickness right.)

Then go back and measure the location of doors and windows (including height, and offset from the floor). Put all that in.

Resist the urge to put in furniture until you are mostly done.

If you have multiple levels things will be more complex - you will need to know floor thickness, and ceiling height.
Releasing all my code as AGPL is one small way in which I oppose the corporatization of the internet.
People that use trucks for actual truck things won't buy this. The design of the bed is a design flaw. Imagine you work construction and you have tools in the back of the bed. You will have to climb inside the bed of the truck everytime to load and unload the tools. You cannot access the bed from the side because of the stupid design.

There is no way this will compete with the EV F150 that will come out near the same time frame as this.

Tesla doesn't even have a method to produce the body of these trucks at the scale needed for production.

Most of the people that pre-order these trucks won't see them until at least 2025, if not later. You think people are going to wait for these over buying an EV F150 that Ford can produce at scale of the normal F150. Maybe some will because of the brand, but most will go for the F150.
A good paper mentioned in the sources is "Neural Tangent Kernel: Convergence and Generalization in Neural Networks".
