I was happy pre pandemic. With the constant out of stock, delivery waits and us cooking more (thus needing fresh produce) it's actually become used less by us rather than more.
This article is biased as it only cites those couple of fields or problems where neural nets have not made significant improvements (even that part is shady as I am not familar with that much).

There have been significant improvements in the architecture of NNs in the last decade unlike what this article claims. This article doesn't mention anything about GANs or Autoencoders or VAEs or Flow or recent NLP advancements which are clearly way way better than what we have seen 5 years ago. Seems like the authors are living in 2015.
I don't think the problem are the semantics, per se. It's knowing or anticipating the semantics before you ever write the first line of VM code. LuaJIT was written to provide near perfect semantic and C API fidelity to PUC Lua 5.1; semantics that were and still are quite sophisticated relative to popular languages. (Lua is a well-disguised functional language, notwithstanding that dynamic typing is no longer en vogue.)

Today's modern JavaScript engines were written with the primary purpose of making then existing JavaScript constructs fast, and those constructs were few and mostly simple. (Exception: JavaScript was an early adopter of lexical closures, notwithstanding its block scoping quirk. Prototypes are conceptually simple but, like closures, rather complex from the perspective of the VM and especially a JIT engine.) They took liberties and shortcuts--all useful, but few without similarly performant alternatives--that had the effect of constraining their ability to implement newer constructs. Because nobody would demand the major browser implementations to introduce drastic architectural changes, newer language constructs were and continue to be tailored to fit the design constraints of existing implementations.

Lua has accumulated so many sophisticated constructs because it's a tiny VM that is substantially rewritten with each new major version (5.1 -> 5.2 is a major version bump). And Lua isn't beholden to a strong backward compatibility guarantee; they can discard things that don't work, keeping the VM relatively simple and small and thus easier to refactor. It's notable that while LuaJIT is much faster than PUC Lua, LuaJIT is stuck at 5.1 + some 5.2 extensions. Most newer constructs and semantics added to PUC Lua since 5.1 are relatively difficult to add back into LuaJIT.
I’ve used Gatsby for generating my wife’s static blog. It’s as simple as adding a new Markdown file, and building. The React workflow makes customising layouts and interactions much easier for those familiar with the ecosystem. For anything more than that, I’d stick to a dynamic framework.
Apple has figured out a way to de-commodify their computer business. Mac OS is a value add that nobody else has. Light bulbs are light bulbs.
Yes, that is even better! Unfortunately it doesn’t work on iOS, or I would have never created my list. Literally the only thing I miss about Android was being able to use browser extensions like uBlock Origin with Firefox on Android. Safari has its built-in content filters but it’s not the same.
The actual dominating selection bias is that "discrimination laws" were an authoritarian progressive political strategy, so they align most closely with authoritarian progressive beliefs and interests.

Thank you for teaching me about accesskey, very useful.

You are right that GitHub is not an SPA, but they seem to be moving towards becoming a proper web application - probably will happen over the next year or two.

The site is quite interactive - e.g. closing issues automatically when a PR is merged to master, GitHub actions triggering on pushed commits and giving developers valuable feedback on their changes.

Now that they are pushing GitHub Codespaces, they are a small step from turning the GitHub site into the only place a developer needs to go to write code, test it, and release it.
Today I received my first grocery delivery from Walmart. I'm extremely excited. I chose no substitutions so only one item wasn't available. What I love about it is that the person picking up the food actually knows the store. Walmart launched pick-up service over 2 years ago and now they're extending that with DoorDash for delivery. Granted, the delivery people still have problems finding my home, but access to Walmart's inventory is a huge improvement for me. Previously I was using Shipt and half of the time they'd just drop products like bananas or frozen blueberries or something else because they couldn't keep up with whether it was in the store or not, or if the store changed brands. The past 4+ orders from Shipt all had mistakes, usually multiple. Either incorrect product or just flat didn't deliver product but charged me for it (in that case I'd get a refund, didn't mess with wrong products).
Something like that would make a lot of sense to me. Today, I think quantum physics isn't such a bad field for scientists to work in, but only because of quantum computing. On the other hand, I can't see any compelling reason to work on HEP.

That's basically what Amazon Fresh is. $5 or $7 delivery tip (I leave what they suggest), no extra fees assuming you've got Amazon Prime, and comparable prices to in-store at Ralph's. I very rarely have things out of stock once I order, produce is generally good, meat has been great. I think the warehouse-direct-to-consumer style is the way to go, rather than shopper-goes-to-store-for-me style. Peapod, in the sibling comment, is another similar option.
> Also, not sure what's next after LEDs.

The latest and greatest LED lighting still looks awful to me - it seems fuzzy and unpleasant even though it appears yellowish rather than the harsh blue or weird glowing violet of earlier LED bulbs.

The spectrum from an incandescent bulb seems so much better.

I greatly prefer the low power, low heat, and long life of LED bulbs, but I just can't get past the awful light that comes from them.
Duck duck go is a lighthouse in the storm. We are all saved. If Jesus came back ask yourself this, ‘would he be google or duck duck go’

Exactly. Search your hearts and use the net with your values as though they’ve become a force to be feared by the swill that is invading our liberties (google).
It's not like there's a realistic way to enforce that license, so it's essentially free.

Ask HN: Alternatives to Paypal and Stripe
Working for an e-commerce co.

Both Paypal & Stripe have frozen funds due to fast/"unusual" growth.
Terrible customer service and no recourse to unfreeze funds with one caused us to switch to the other.

Looking for recommendations for a payment processor alternative with good enough customer service to avoid issues above.
That's one way of looking at it. Another way of looking at it is that he's telling Twitter to "cut their crap". I would bet about half the country sees it that way, and agrees with him too.
Fox News?
> I'm not too happy with the govt in my country either, but I realize 90% of my situation would have been the same under most possible govts.

We are literally in the polar opposite government than we were from 2008-2016.

I don't think we'd be at 100k dead today if our government was different and responded properly. Is this what we're debating? Why did Hong Kong only have 4 deaths the last I looked a few days ago? The government and societal response?

Maybe we're miscommunicating. Yeah, 90% of my life is the same but we all have friends and family affected by some part of it (healthcare or unemployment typically). The most mutual thing right now is our combined stress (except for the people partying at the beach).
> licenses are usually written more strictly for legal purposes

Well written legal documents are precise (not strict). The trouble is that you haven't unambiguously defined what qualifies as personal use, and there are a rather large number of obvious edge cases. This is a good example of something that should be drafted by a qualified attorney.
Impressed by the amount of hn crew claiming they have quotes on there. Maybe not all of it is fake after all
What part of it is illegal? What if they reverse engineered the model, and then understood the fundamentals of how it worked, and implemented and trained the same architecture with different data?

Or trained their own architecture with data sampled from the Google model?

is it "stealing" data, the architecture, the parameters, or the act of reverse engineering and productizing the knowledge?

H-E-B Groceries In Texas has been doing an incredible job with their cubside service. It costs about $5 and takes less than 15 minutes to drive up and get all your groceries put in your trunk. This article was surprising to me because my impression has been the opposite and curbside service is an awesome luxury that's come out of this. Only downsides are having to schedule a pickup time usually for the next day and sometimes they have to substitute items that are out of stock. I wish I could link items so if they don't have bread don't get me peanut butter and jelly too.
Unless I'm buying cases of canned goods or other completely fungible items, yeah.

Besides, Amazon has become so erratic with their deliveries that I feel like I'm back in the days of mail-order catalogs.
It's funny that this should come up on the frontpage today, because just yesterday, I chose to go and find and install ircN, which still works just fine, by the way.

That is how I collected the quotes originally, by using ircN's quote commands, which saved them in a file called quotes.txt, IIRC.

Then, I would occasionally entertain the channel with random quotes.

Eventually, I converted quotes.txt to quotes.html and posted it on my website.

Then I built a PHP+MySQL database with a submission form, then some basic anti-abuse and moderation features.
docker is an especially bad case of CLI UI. 1. Details of parameters changed quite often in the early times of docker. 2. Docker does not provide man pages, just a very terse --help output. 3. The --help output is often similar to the provierbial Javadoc comment of a Java getter, i.e. it is just a repetition of the parts of the name in different order with more noise. It usually doesn't answer any important questions about the tool. Just look at these:

--dns list Set custom DNS servers
--dns-option list Set DNS options
--dns-search list Set custom DNS search domains
--domainname string Container NIS domain name
--entrypoint string Overwrite the default ENTRYPOINT of the image
-e, --env list Set environment variables
--env-file list Read in a file of environment variables
--expose list Expose a port or a range of ports

None of these comments clarify the syntax or precise meaning of the parameters to the flags. Does it mention you can map internal to external ports with --expose? No, it doesn't but it would be really helpful to be able to look up the syntax.

You claimed man pages do not help. I disagree. To me man pages have the following advantages over web based documentation.

- A locally installed man page usually matches the version of the installed tool.

- I don't have to search for the correct web page or even software project that is the source of an installed program.

- It works offline.

- No SPA bullshit (hello docker and kafka) in documentation that slows down browsing, adds time wasting scroll animations, and often breaks navigation (Implementing the back and forward button in a SPA is not helpful if you loose your scroll state when navigating)

- Sometimes you have to use older software, i.e. because you want to recompile your college project with a matching compiler. Then it is really useful to have the documentation matching to your tools. Or you maintain certified firmwares, which were released and certified some years ago, then you have to use that software.

I am sure you are aware of the advantages of Web based documentation so I skip them.

> Companies do not have the power to throw people in jail or legally kill with a military.

Blackwater is a private enterprise and arguably is able to legally kill (and is in a sense a form of private military). Beyond that obvious example, private police agencies have existed in the US for some time.

Applied unequally. Reminds me of these old fact checks during the election:

https://www.factcheck.org/2016/09/trump-pence-acid-wash-fact...

> Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump falsely claimed Clinton “acid washed” 33,000 personal emails to delete them, calling it “an expensive process.” The FBI said Clinton’s tech team used BleachBit, which is a free software program. It does not use chemicals.

These sorts of "fact checks" are blatant horse shit that always go in one direction. Some "challenge", the very antithesis of any sort of good faith discussion on the facts.

Interacting with instacart sums up the expression: ”if you want something done right, do it yourself”.

At least for me, having to go a store is not a big deal, it’s just overcoming “inertia to leave home”. I would much rather: order directly from the store, have the store pack everything up, express pick it up from the store, and have a confirmation expected=actual for the order.

The abstraction to having a third-party like instacart do all the - for lack of a better word - “order management” just seems to create an extra layer of bullshit to deal with.

Going to the store, picking everything normally, and going through checkout myself, while not as convenient, has still consistently yielded the best results - so there is still a lot of catching up to do for store/third-party services to reach that level of performance(?).

as long as they are not using limited public goods (e.g. part of the EM spectrum to broadcast), then from my perspective they can do anything they want assuming it doesn't break another law.

now if they want to use limited public goods, well then there's a role for the FCC or something like it...
I dont understand how anyone is still under the illusion that Twitter is inhabited by humans. Nothing there feels real to me.
I find these comparisons between the supposed left and right wing ideologies silly at best. The right wing political spectrum is just as guilty (or even more so) of being "out of touch with reality" as the left. Just look at the climate disaster and the supposed right wing solutions to it (if they are even willing to admit its real).

Now back to Dawkins, but he is often wrong on both ethical and fundimental grounds. This tweet is an example of that (there is a sibling comment explaining the scientific reason for why he is wrong), as is almost always the case when Dawkins attacks religion. Furthermore, quite often the moral argument can’t simply be detached from a statement. As an example look at the climate disaster again. It is morally wrong to pollute, but also stuff brakes badly if you pollute too much. You can’t put the moral argument out side of the bracket and say: “I’m only arguing that increased carbon emission are good for the economy”, then you are guilty of stacking the rules of the debate into your favor, and Dawkins does this all the time.
A good grocery store will waste less. They'll have someone merge multiple cartons of eggs to refill ones that have one cracked (assuming the carton isn't soaked). They'll see they have a bunch of inventory about to go past sell-by and will toss up a sale to get rid of as much of the near-expiration items. They'll be careful about rotating stock so that the older items are up front so people who are less date-sensitive will buy them.
I though it went down.. Hmm, it didn't so I'll start reading that again ^_^ Thanks!

I don’t understand why Apple (and other big companies) with all the resources they’ve got, all these talented people and all this money, fail to provide reliable, safe and useful updates for their products. Is it that difficult to do proper quality checks and hear the feedback?
I can see a trend the last couple of years where updates/upgrades are going in the wrong direction...well at least Apple is not in the same situation as Microsoft with their updates and service packs ruining perfectly working systems.
If there is a memory leak, then yes, memory usage would increase as your program continues making progress.

That's like saying: "I run my program and it works, how can I have bugs??"

Unless you know how to properly test, of course you won't be able to find memory leaks and memory usage will stay the same. Do you click the same thing 5000 times and observe every time memory is cleaned? Do you have unittests against this?

Idk, long story short "I don't know how to make memory leaks in javascript, so I must not have them" is non sequitur.

My concern is they lose the ability to counterbalance the other four of the Big Five, if they are uniquely targeted by an anti-trust lawsuit.

Which is to say, I don't disagree with the momentum toward anti-trust measures being brought against Google, but I want them systematically brought against the entire Big Five, or else the effects may just be further consolidation.

What started as "I want Democracy", which was promised in the Sino-British Joint Declaration signed in 1984[1], slowly was pressured into something different.

As the CCP started to really apply pressure starting in 2014 after the umbrella revolution, HK people have been witnessing the erosion of their rights.

When the CCP labelled the protests as a separatist movement to justify to the West that these were simply "internal affairs/extremist movements", most in HK laughed at the idea of independence. It's CCP's narrative to align their online army and casual observers as anti-China/pro HK independence.

All HK wanted was to enjoy a high degree of autonomy and universal suffrage. Slowly HK people started to realize the CCP would never hold their end of the bargain and truly give democracy to the HK people. So what was CCP's fake news campaign became reality and it's now turning into a HK independence and anti-China campaign.

I do not think it was a waste. All metaphors are largely useless. They may help with getting a point a across, but they are just a crutch to help with understanding an issue. If I am pedantic, it is because I do not want my metaphor ( if that is the right word here ) to be misinterpreted.

But you do have a point. What if instead of what I think, we turn to the wisdom the global crowd ( [1],[2],[3] ), who, when recently polled, indicated that US is greater threat than China or Russia. So the world populace thinks US is moving towards war; moreso than China or Russia.

It is possible that I overstated my case. You do have a point here, but are you trying to tell me Iran is THE threat to that will pull this world into the abyss?
The sidebar entry is still coming from mDNS. Play with the NAS’s config until it shows up the same way Windows peers with shares do: as an all-uppercase-named machine only visible under the WINS workgroup name in Networks.

Also, wait 15 minutes. Because mDNS.
"preloading" the entire article the way say, Google News app does for example means that without going two touches deeper it essentially negates the user ever needing to visit the site that originally authored the content removing them entirely from the process. It's not very content-creator friendly. For that matter, why use the internet if you don't trust anyone but Google, Microsoft, Cloudflare, etc? Insanity. The internet may as well be considered broken and useless if you can't trust your web browser to at least minimally protect you from scripts automatically hijacking your computer with an "unsafe script".

Also, I did mention scripts but left it short and sweet with the limited support of scripting that AMP has to explain AMP in more simple terms.
> I don't understand, doesn't this play into China's hand?

No, continuing Hong Kong’s preferential status whilst the Party siphons off information, tech, interest, etc. is.

> China is trying to undermine it's automony, now US is staying they are the same?

Pompeo’s assertion is an indication China is no longer “trying”, but has succeeded.

> Isn't this giving China what it wants?

The “what” you refer to has already been taken by China. US acceptance of that reality serves the US by signaling it is time to contain losses.
