They didn't know for sure when the abort would happen. It sounded as if they only tuned thresholds for parameters down to such low values that an abort would be triggered around maximum dynamic pressure (Max Q).
Isn’t that a bit like saying the problem in medicine is dying, and other things like heart disease, cancer, etc. aren’t really problems for the patients, as death is the only real problem?

Bodybuilding. Seriously. Go to the gym and lift heavy. Lift daily. Spend 1.30-2 hours daily lifting weights. Start with a trainer if you have never done any competitive sports before. Fix your diet and eat a lot of protein.

I promise you that you will not recognize yourself in 6 months to a year. Both physically and psychologically.

IMHO a lot of issues we face in our times are because of the lack of exercise.
I am willing to grant a creator that right in exchange for the work becoming public domain after a limited, and reasonable, period of time. Outside the context of a social contract then, no, I think a creator has no right to control their work if they decide to share it with others.
They don't get to decide any such thing, and in fact, can't. Google (fortunately for all of us) doesn't run the Internet.

They do run a popular search page, and have to decide what to do with a search like "Is the Earth flat?".

Personally, I would prefer they prominently display a "no". Others would disagree, but a search engine is curation by definition, that's what makes it useful.
Actual study: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/cogs.12127

Method: To explore this potential explanation of the association between far analogies and
reduced functional distance of search, we examined the concepts immediately preceding
far analogy-to-concept pairs (i.e., far concept-generating or function-finding analogies),
focusing on the distance of each concept from its immediate predecessor (i.e., its JUST
PRIOR value, derived from Study 1). In building this sample of concepts, we screened out
concepts that were not in the same subproblem space as the concept following the analogy,
and concepts with predecessors in a different subproblem space. The final sample
consisted of 57 concepts.

So the whole study based based on 57 verbalised concept transitions and the underlying assumption that iterative verbalised transitions within a group discussion context are true proxies for meaningfully tracking significant iterations in inventive thought process in the participants.

A counterexample would be our company, actively involved in R&D on a day to day basis across a range of disciplines very similar to those cited within the study, where far analogies are used however they are typically analyzed privately. The fruits of that thinking are presented for group discussion and the potential for those avenues of thought identified within group discussion, but they are almost never actually fleshed out verbally as a group.
Google's search rankings are based on opinions held by other credible sources. This isn't really blowing the whistle when, as you admitted, Google admits this openly.

And maybe your site doesn't get ranked well because it's directly tied to project veritas. I don't like being too political, especially on hn and on an account tied to my real identity, but project veritas and it's associates exhibit appalling behavior in duplicity and misdirection. I would hope that trash like this does get pushed to the bottom.
Who said anything about censorship? The topic of discussion is what order results are in. Are you saying Google would be more useful if it returned the 100 million results randomly and left you to sort them out?
As mentioned by flohofwoe in the parent comment, Dawn and wgpu are both native implementations of WebGPU for use outside the browser. In particular wgpu-rs will allow users to target both the browser API and run natively.

Dawn and wgpu are also collaborating on a common set of native headers (https://github.com/webgpu-native/webgpu-headers) to make it easy to switch between implementations.
Salvation Army has spent almost centuries causing active harm to LGBT community. That notice on their website is brand-new and their actions recently indicate that they are likely to continue going out of their way to cause harm to LGBT people.

The corporate doublethink on their website is propaganda and does not reflect the reality of who they are. I do not believe that a 150+ year old organization with a strong history of the people involved being extremely hateful to LGBT people is in a total turnaround - they have refused to admit their wrongdoing in any reasonable way and have also made public statements recently that the will continue to donate to anti-LGBT people.

Providing good services to some while rejecting others for simply being who they are does not come across as a good, kind, or deserving of praise in any way. Their good deeds have been selective in who receives them and their language for groups they don't like borders on genocidal.

The Salvation Army is not a force for good in the world. It is a hateful religious group who has a public and strong recent history of causing direct harm to people who need help the most.
First off, well done, this looks like a good initiative and you've clearly worked hard on it!

My main question is about app size. Once one has fully built an app and is ready to distribute it to users... how does the file size compare to an Electron app?

In the US Constitution, at least, the purpose of limited-time monopolies is "To promote the progress of science and useful arts...", not to ensure that creators of works are able to profit. Granting limited-time monopolies is a way to create profit for the creators, but as I read it, the goal was to promote progress for all of society, not for the creators.
In my experience with Python, these were minor annoyances. The real problem was the amount of decorators and monkey patching in libraries like Flask, FoundationDB, Gunicorn, or Celery. Using gevent didn’t help...
They are doing the same thing - using less memory by hashing.

The hashing trick in VW hashes multiple same words into one integer, not the same as reformer, but similar to how reformer puts similar vectors together.

With VW's ngram/skipgram features, you get the same kind of effect - similar strings hash into the same hash.

So locality sensitive hashing = (is around about the same thing as) ngram/skipgram on strings plus hashing trick.

Thanks for the feedback. I get your point there. It feels much different though. A tab open is completely read only, and they are not aggregating your content. I guess I just don’t like the idea of seeding my content and not knowing who or what the the “seeders” might also be involved with. I guess purely an ethical concern/decision on my part in likely choosing never to use a seeding technology to serve my content.
The only reason we gave creators the right to control their work is to encourage them to create it and make it available.

If they aren't going to make it available, then no, we have no obligation to protect their work with our money and our legal system and enforcement officers that we're funding.

Otherwise, they get a lot from us, and we get nothing from them.

I suspect the huge majority would not care and that most of the things falling into this category would be orphaned works due to byzantine ownership issues.
What is the ‘data’ mentioned in the article and related docs? License plate data? Street light efficiency data? It’s not super clear what is being shared or sold in this case
Do they mandate that only function types (and any ambiguous ones) should be annotated, or that all types (i.e. including those of local variables which mypy can infer) should be? I strongly suspect the former, which implies that they view type annotations more as a necessary evil to allow type checking rather than a benefit in their own right. After all, there was nothing stopping people putting "type annotations" in Python 2.5 code if you wanted, by writing `x = get_thing_count() # int`. But AFAIK no-one did that until annotations could actually be used to check type safety.

My life turned around just after 6 months of working out regularly. It's easy to improve self esteem when others see you in a much better light, and working out will make that happen. From physical transformation (no matter how small) to small dopamine highs you will get after putting in work.
Wow, this article made me realize I was a part of the very early generation game devs in Finland getting my first job in the industry in 2001. I was so young and naive then that I didn't understand how early it was.
And we're seeing just the same end result, with gaps missing in the cultural record. For example, there are Doctor Who episodes that simple don't exist anymore [1]. The contracts of the time specified a maximum number of broadcasts, after which they were taped over. Now, with loss of compatibility, closing of multiplayer servers, logon servers, games are going the same route. Another loss of culture.

From what the article states, Opera was likely acquired with the explicit purpose of making this pivot. The brand was popular in the developing world, where this sort of predatory lending is still considered socially acceptable.
I probably, wanted "dovetail". I know I have heard and used a word that sounds like jibe in this context but given I was a sailor, I would automatically make that into gybe. Jibe is probably correct.

Participation and broader engagement in local elections is typically rather low, so when you have platforms that reinforce the communities problems prevailing in local elections, I’d generally consider that to be a failure.

> Why bother make your town a mess in the name of growth.

Local government elections don’t have any influence over population growth. The forces that influence that are beyond the control of local government (and to a lesser extent, beyond the control of government in general). If the local population increases, the only thing local government can control (in relation to housing) is what choice it makes between preserving character or prices. The typical NIMBY response to dealing with population growth is that it should happen elsewhere, because they like where they live, and don’t want it to change.

Eh, I'm not sure the level editor/scripting comes from the language so much as the nature of game dev. I've written a hobby 2d engine + game before, level design is a hell of a lot easier if you build an editor to do it in. Same with scripting for enemy behaviors. I wrote one in c++ and another in Java, both ended up with level editors and a limited scripting language designed for my own benefit. Once you have them, it speeds up actual game development immensely.

I’ve found more and more I have reverted to finding books instead of searching to find deeper knowledge. The only issue is it is easy to publish low quality books now. Depending on the topic you are looking into often if a book stands the test of time it is a worthwhile read. With tech books you have to focus on the authors credentials.
Wouldn't the important embedding be of the token at position A and the token at position B rather than the positions themselves? Since there's a lot fewer tokens than positions you're fairly likely to get the two tokens to hash together at least a few times.

edit: I'd image the position itself (ie: word number in text rather than token) could be embedded using sin-cosine or by breaking it up into chapter/paragraph/word. Seems more meaningful and efficient than word number in text. That would prevent this issue on that side of things.
It bothers me that you are being downvoted. One of the reasons retirement benefits were created was so people could retire and open up their jobs to the next generation.

It's nice that someone held onto a job til 102, but it also means that at least two generations of young people lost out on a job that they could use to buy a home, start a family, etc.

I'm not for forced retirement but someone holding onto a position to 102 is really ridiculous. Especially for a taxpayer funded government job with terrific retirement benefits/pension.

At some point, shouldn't a person acknowledge they've taken more than their fair share and step aside so another gets a chance? Isn't it part of the social contract that you retire, collect benefits and let others have a job?

If this employee had to work to survive ( pay rent/mortgage, bills, etc ), then more power to him. But otherwise, he really did a disservice to the younger generations by staying on as long as he did.
This type of scenario shouldn't require "smart" home hardware - Traditionally situations like this were addressed by wired/wireless SCADA networks or BACnet or similar protocols.

The only issue is that these things are typically designed to be engineered along with the systems they control, and are difficult for the average user to implement or use.
Dude lost me on his thing about taxing wealthy people will stop them from investing the money they worked so hard to earn. I think he is missing the point that most of those people didn’t “earn” it from the same starting line as everyone else.
>You're right, there are a ton of great ideas and suggestions for how to make IPFS better that we haven't gotten to yet

I love the idea of IPFS, but let me ask you the question, when is it finally going to be ready for people to easily deploy? A year from now, 3 years, 5 years? Or maybe you have no idea?

Don't give some vague answer about how you are working on it. Give me a reasonably specific prediction, or say you have no idea.
At this point the creators literally have no right to control their work. That right rests in one of three corporations, none of which are interested in finding out if they actually have the right, nor to grant that right to a third party. We have already passed the point where creators lose the right to control their work when they do work for hire, which is the majority of art being created nowadays.
A potential fall-out: the travel patterns and occupants of all cars in San Diego is stored in perpetuity, later to be hacked into, so that many common citizens can be later compromised.

To the perpetual excuse that I don't have anything to fear, since I am not doing anything wrong -
first, any information that you give to someone is potential power they have over you. The apocryphal quote by Cardinal Richelieu on finding enough to hang a man in six innocuous sentences is worthy of keeping in mind.

Second, in an era of easily manipulated videos, it is easy to "manufacture" cam footage. If there are no such cams, such fakes have no legal validity. With the proliferation of such cams, there is currently no defense against such an attack.
Nothing to do with electronics, or with robots in disguise...

Statecharts _builds upon_ state machines, but is a more powerful language to model a system's state than FSMs or regular expressions. There's a good explanation here [1].

I would think the quotes would make a difference. I was not using quotes, does using quotes in the US still return the website? I would use a VPN and test it out but I am at work right now.
R.I.P. Opera. Long live Pale Moon, Brave, Vivaldi and WebkitGTK. Chrome, Firefox and Edge could go f--k themselves.
Honestly, I completely skipped your second paragraph. I definitely see a difference in your example. To me, the SpaceX missions done on behalf of the public via NASA/ESA/etc is the result/output of the govt spending. That should always be made public.

The use of the software is just a tool used to produce said output, so no, I would not automatically suggest the the code should be made available. If the govt funding paid for that software, then yes, it should be made available. There's a difference between funding the development of software vs buying a license to use software.
Except in Google's paper the hashing does not directly reduce memory usage in any way. It's a lossless operation on the original vectors unlike VW's lossy operation. Google's representation allows for memory reduction down the line but those mechanisms have nothing to do with hashing.
I never destroy the source code directory. I still have projects from 30-odd years ago that get looked at from time to time for some silly reason or other.

I move the project directory out of the main work area where current projects live to another area like 'obsolete' or perhaps 'non-current'. It still exists, but it isn't continually in your vision.

Disk space is cheap. Your time and angst are not.
What you program it's top down. So every level of the stack effects everything below. Interestingly things below can also hotpatch things above as needed by developers. Simply ship the patch upstream or monkey patch it yourself and publish the github repo with your patch.
This is proof that government should never get involved in business or the free market. It engenders cronyism and inept government bureaucrats getting rich off of unnecessary regulation.
Because those persons will sue them, assert their copyright, then receive damages and remove the product from being sold. This isn't like a compulsory licensing fee where you pay to record a cover of a song and nobody can stop you, the rightsholders have said they're not interested in the remake existing, therefore we can assume they'll just kill any remake that gets made.
It's amazing free entertainment for us and great free publicity for SpaceX. It's one of those rare win-win situations.
Yes and no.

Yes, you can make compile times _extremely long_. They're not unbounded, as code you use in types needs to pass the _totality checker_, which proves it terminates. (The totality checker requires code to follow certain formats the checker knows how to solve for, otherwise it would solve the halting problem and therefore it could not exist)
Same for me in Australia, searching for the name results in the Twitter handle showing up, and then a WikiSpooks websites and so forth. The website isn't even on the first page. I think that's rather concerning, that searching for a person's won't return their website but rather a twitter feed and other websites that have possibly optimized for SEO.
In a political context, "credible" is often a synonym for "agrees with me". Anyone ranking "page quality" should be conscious of and try to avoid that, and yet the word "bias" doesn't even appear in the linked guidelines for Search Quality Raters.

Of course Google's own bias (and involvement in particular political campaigns) is well known, and opposed to Project Veritas, so it's quite possible that you are right and Google is downranking PV.

Would that be good? Well, that's an opinion that depends mostly on the bias of the commentator.

I think the only time Australia has been part of some sort of European organization or group is when Australia competed in the Eurovision.

Anyhow, I would be interested to know what results you get in the EU.
Working with vs funded by is the line in my opinion. Did you get private funding to carry out the mission and paid NASA/SpaceX to get a ride and use ISS equipment? Or did you get a grant to fund the mission from govt tax dollars? Private funding = keeping results private
Public funding = making results public
