From the article, it sounds like they also use these tools to fight regular crime:

> The European official said NSO spyware had enabled his team to learn details of a separate gang of violent bank robbers and weapons traffickers and have police arrest them as they were about to commit a crime.

I assume the "terror suspect" was thrown into the headline to gather more sympathy for their cause.
I worked a strict 35 hour week in Germany for a while and I think this was the most productive environment I have ever worked in. People had energy to actually work during working hours and management didn’t waste any time with indecision. And we managed to be the world market leader in our industry with a 35 hour week.
In San Francisco (so at the center of the bubble) I've been shocked by the adoption of the AirPods pro. I see them everywhere now and they've only been out for two months or so. Add the regular AirPods in and they're downright ubiquitous.

These are $250 headphones. I've loved music all my life and I used to get weird looks from people when I told them I was spending $150-200 on nice earbuds with better sound quality. For about a decade everyone was pretty happy with the white iPod headphones that came in the box.

Thinking back I guess Beats opened the floodgates of "normal people having expensive headphones" and also "headphones as fashion" and then AirPods came in and added a whole convenience layer on top which seems to be driving people to buy in droves.

So yeah, Apple's raking it in. Guess I shouldn't be surprised.
The streets are safe for car drivers who are following the law, it’s walkers and cyclists that are at risk. As for non compliance, that’s what speed bumps, speed cameras and other traffic calming measures are for.

I just drove through multiple US towns in Idaho that declared a 25 mph speed limits unless otherwise posted. They did not seem to have massive compliance issues.

With super small dataset sizes like that it'll fit in the L2 cache and can behave differently. I did test this though, and for 20,000 items generated with your loop:

sort | uniq -c takes .017s (fastest out of a few runs)

the awk command I used above takes .013s

A trivial implementation I have in go takes .08s

Additionally, using this 'protos' file which is 1,000,000 lines of tcp,udp,icmp:

$ time (sort protos|uniq -c)
5915 icmp
332003 tcp
662082 udp

real 0m0.232s
user 0m0.739s
sys 0m0.100s

$ # fixed to count 'lines' and not the first column, which makes it faster.
$ time awk '{lines[$0]++} END {for (l in lines) printf("%s %d\n", l, lines[l])}' < protos
icmp 5915
udp 662082
tcp 332003

real 0m0.194s
user 0m0.190s
sys 0m0.004s

$ time ./c < protos
662082 udp
332003 tcp
5915 icmp

real 0m0.088s
user 0m0.084s
sys 0m0.005s

so yes, I do test my assumptions.

Price has to do with supply and demand curves. If there's tons of demand for people hand sewn clothes for hamsters, and very few people who are willing or wanting to do it, then the price will be high, even though one might think there is very little utility to society.

Similarly, there's very few people able and willing to provide the entertainment that an NFL player can, but very high demand for it, therefore, very high pay.

> I live in LA, and I don't own a car, and many people that live on the street don't either. Does that mean that it's valid to label us both as "carless"?

Yes, that's the exact definition of not possessing a car. The circumstances might be different and reasoning for not having one too, but if both were asked do you own a car the answer is the same.
"Gastro-diplomacy": the Korean government did something similar.

Interestingly, it turns out that competent governments are able to export culture and brand in a directed, purposeful way (as opposed to organic) if they put enough money and effort behind the effort and have the right kind of staffing.

It's fascinating because most government tourism boards rarely achieve success. I'd never have imagined that bureaucrats would know anything about promoting the arts.
I do not think the sarcasm is deserved here. Debian is committed to free software. You can find a set of guidelines they implement in their social contract website under the heading "The Debian Free Software Guidelines (DFSG)" at https://www.debian.org/social_contract#guidelines

A substantial user and developer base prefers Debian precisely because of these Guidelines. Inclusion of free software (as-is) that automatically installs non-free binaries would violate almost all of these guidelines.

Trint[0] has a wonderful UI/UX for exactly this. I'm not sure if they're using the latest & greatest ML models, but even years ago I was pretty blown away. I still am. It's one of the most "right" products I've seen in this generation of web development. Someone realllllllly cared about the details of UX.

Some of that only comes across when you actually use it - when you clean up the transcription immediately after the meeting or the next day. Clicking a mistake word to edit it snaps the video and audio to that point, so its super intuitive to "scrub" through the video just by clicking around the text transcription. Very fast, very natural, very low effort.

I can only imagine how much it will be improved if it used google's newest multi-speaker transcription models. It always had some trouble whenever people started talking at the same time.

This is a good point, and there's an analogy in drug discovery. Lead compounds are generated using high-throughput screening of vast libraries of molecules. The basic skeleton of the drug is picked by a heavily-automated, expensive process, and then tweaked by humans or more HTPS before being patented.

There's tons of human labor to validate the drugs, and it's extremely expensive - hence the patent guards the time and money involved, not the "idea."

Drug companies are also starting to use AI systems for retrosynthesis - the sequence of reactions to take you from common precursors to the desired compound. My understanding is that these systems have gotten very good, to the point where clicking "Run" is most of the effort.

Pharma companies use synthesis patents to further hamstring competitors by cutting off viable routes to potential competitor drugs in the same class, or keeping their products from being manufactured once patent expires.

If they're allowed to file synthesis patents based on simply running the AI retrosynthesis algorithm, it'll do really bad things to the industry.
The Elxsi 6400, built in the early 1980s could do logical operations to memory using the off the shelf drams of the day. Designer was Harold (Mac) McFarland, of PDP-11 fame.
Yeah, trading off embedding dim vs hidden layer dim is a common trick that effectively means trading size on disk (and in memory) for inference speed. It's obvious the model will need to be more powerful if the embedding carry less information. Still cool they got the size down by 90%.

I think the aesthetic/pacing/art of particularly the first two Patlabor movies would probably be appreciated by somebody who's a fan of the first GITS movie specifically. There is a common cyberpunk thread running through both those Patlabor movies and GITS. Patlabor 1 has a plot that easily could have been a GITS plot and spends a lot of time dwelling on the ways apparent progress leaves many people feeling abandoned and worthless.

The Patlabor TV show is definitely much lighter material, a lot more accessible to children.
"to act" has also other meanings than just be on stage or in front of a camera. Similary, an "actor" has also other meanings than just an individual being on stage or in front of a camera.

Sorry if this is off-topic but how would this chip compare to an ARM design that could handle 16 threads? Would thermal dissipation, power consumption, and performance be roughly the same or would they be significantly different?

>Does that mean that it's valid to label us both as "carless"?

Sure....I don't own a car, I have zero issue with being labelled as carless. It's very much true. I lack a car, I am carless. My reason for lacking one may very well be different than yours, but the effects of not having cars are probably similar between us. Such as walking, biking or relying on public transit to travel, being limited on locations one can travel based on availability of transport or distance etc.

Edit to include:

>if anything there should be a more broad term, something that includes people who are housing-unstable. I don't really consider the problem solved if a person worries every day that they might be homeless at the end of the next month!

I really like this idea.
All he said is that the "tools are getting smart[er]," and he's right.

I still can't bring myself to hit "Mastering Assistant" (still less, "Mix Assistant" in Neutron) and call it a day. But honestly, it's pretty spooky how good these tools are getting. I'm particularly impressed by the way it figures out where to set dynamic EQ points on problematic frequencies. I haven't played with Gullfoss yet, but the pros I talk to say it's even spookier.

Of course, what you may mean is that there's no substitute for a $50,000 Neve console, a treated, isolated room, monitors that cost considerably more than your car, and an engineer with twenty years of experience. Sure.

But honestly, it is reasonable to wonder whether this is a bit like when we used to say, "Well, a computer will never beat a human at chess."

It's also not true that no professional mastering engineers use Ozone. Most big shops at least have it lying around (if only for that limiter, which many pros emphatically do use). It's also sometimes the right tool for the job. And there are a few serious pros for whom it's their main tool. Not many, granted. But interface aside, it's not clear that when it comes to "clean" processing, that FabFilter's stuff (which is very widely used) is any better.

Ok. But prior art should blast this out of the water, at least IMO. In 2000 I had friends in college running Linux for streaming music to speakers. I was impressed at the time because this wasn’t someone in the CS department.

You'd be surprised how many "diseases" can be treated with the same cure. Mental health issues of all kinds, obesity, heart disease, Alzheimers, and diabetes can all be treated/prevented with exercise and a good diet. At a certain point you have to wonder if a disease is a disease or if it's just what happens when you throw a bunch of explosive wrenches into the complex human machine
My thought is some combination of that and magnetic deviation.

Runway headings are always magnetic headings, so what the runway says and what GPS calculates (at the lowest levels) are two different things.

So maybe the issue only occurs at airports where you’re landing on 27 AND mag deviation is some specific value?

Would explain why it happens at only some US and some S. American airports:

Which is fine, if you have no need of any dependency management (stick everything in script tags and reference globals), your script is going to be made up of only a few individual .js files (every one has to go in the header), and you have no use for JSX or TypeScript.

For most people working on larger projects, though, the advantages of real dependency management (however broken NPM is) and transpiling JSX or TS is worth the compilation, which you get used to.
It's surprising to see so many on HN agree with a 4 work week. As a programmer, I will definitely get more done in a 5 day week than in a 4 day week.

I assume manufacturing jobs will need to be 5 days or America will be even less competitive and the same for service jobs, gigs.

I wonder what jobs will actually benefit from a four day work week.
It could be a big story, but unless it's a discussion on a technical failure, it doesn't really belong on HN. Ever since the last big election cycle people have been more strict about not allowing political and world-news posts that aren't related to tech or hacking culture.
The real reason for that is because of the physical limitations of the medium. You have to be very careful when mastering for vinyl that you aren't knocking the stylus out of the groove by making things too loud (especially sudden changes are dangerous). Even for less proactively mastered stuff, if a master is received too loud, the factory will reduce the volume before pressing so that it is playable.
I don't understand how you'd do hard real-time when one of the major inputs, the neural-networks, aren't deterministic? In a hard real-time system, what happens if your neural-networks are late telling you where the lanes are?

In reality the comma-AI isn't controlling the car, a number of peripherals on the canbus are controlling the car. All those peripherals are hard-real time, and the comma-AI is bridging the non-deterministic neural networks and those hard-real-time peripherals.

At some point you need to deal with the non-deterministic neural networks, and bridge them into a hard real-time control system. People complaining that part of the system isn't real-time just seems like they haven't thought about it very much. Of course the UI and neural networks aren't going to be hard real-time.
I don't know how people don't lose these daily and that they don't end up going through the washing machine.

The headline is factually wrong. The truth is that Finland has reduced the population of homeless by 35% over ten years[1].

While I applaud easing the bureaucratic hurdles in giving people access to homes, in many cases not being offered a home is not the reason why people are homeless. It's simply not "as easy as that".

Fictitious? I put my very best ideas on there.
So you went from a city city like NYC to a city closer to nature like Seattle? I find NYC constricting sometimes because you're always around people and products of people, never just out on a trail going for a run/bike/hike.

I am thinking that whatever it takes to rekindle that sense of agency, that's the way to go. Everyone had some sense of agency as a kid playing with legos, games, etc.
Correct, and generally speaking, economic of scale should apply to social sector programs. In theory, it should be 60x easier for the US to house everyone, simply because we have more resources to aggregate.

Even when you compare per capita GDP, Finland's doing it with $50k, while the US is at $62.5k.

I've read it only recently, after I was already familiar with Vim, and I cannot recommend it enough!

I had lots of "oh, I had no idea this was possible" moments and it took my Vim knowledge to the next level where I'm now (even) more productive than before.

Having said that, I'm not sure it is a good introductory resource for somebody making their first steps in Vim.
I think a big issue is that the condition of being homeless, in and of itself, leads to further issues. For a start, having zero time to spend on dealing with any of these other issues, but also things like difficulty being to get a bank account.

We should treat this symptom which has multiple causes, because it causes further problems, and is relatively easily treated.

They never had Reagan, so they still treat mental illness there.

More importantly, Finland allows for the involuntary commitment if the mentally ill. In the US, this is only allowed if the individual presents a danger to themselves or others.
They're doing it because it's been a standard ISP practice for years because most people don't run their own recursive resolver and have no skills to do so. End result is that to provide an internet connection, you have to also provide a DNS resolver, full stop. Monetizing and ads came later when business stopped caring about the RFCs.
For optimization, I would just make it easy to remove the payment process and selecting the fuel grade.

Everytime a car drives up, use a camera to determine their license plate number. If they are a new customer, ask them if they want to save their payment information and fuel grade preferences. If so, everytime they come back, the pump can display "Welcome back John Doe, you can begin pumping".

Nuclear weapon detonations (particularly when tested underground, which is done mostly to avoid atmospheric contamination) can be identified through seismic arrays. The system is pretty reliable, and beyond the obvious task of distinguishing between natural and human causes, it is even capable of detecting the approximate origin.

Ask HN: Can I back out from an internal relocation?
After two years in the same position, I decided to look for another opportunity internally and recently accepted an offer that I'm really satisfied with. This position includes a relocation to another European country that has an interesting tax reduction policy for expats, which played a big part in my decision to accept the job.

I assumed I was eligible to the tax ruling through personal research.
Today (5 days prior to the starting date) I had a call with a tax consultant included in the relocation package and learned that I'm not eligible, which decreases my total compensation by 20%. This call was scheduled as soon as I accepted the offer, at the earliest date available.

Although I'm looking forward to starting the position as it will enable technical growth and working on an exciting product, the decision does not make a lot of sense financially anymore.

What are my options here ?
Can/should I back out from the signed contract and start looking for other opportunities ?
Can I negotiate a higher gross salary after the signing ?
Is the US in fact spending less money on homelessness, though? My guess would be that it's spending a comparable amount on a per-person basis.

Siacoin Review (SC) Decentralized Cloud Storage
"Those affected by homelessness receive a small apartment and counselling – without any preconditions."

I doubt it will work in Finland in the long run, and even if it does, Finland and the U.S. have very different populations. Most Americans work to put a roof over their head, and it's unfair to them to "unconditionally" give some people housing. It's also a big disincentive to work. The current unemployment rate is 3.5%. There are homeless shelters to prevent people from freezing to death, but that's very different from giving someone their own apartment. Millions of people would love a "small apartment" in Manhattan or San Francisco but cannot afford to live there. Are you going to allocate the apartments to people who are not contributing to society?
