Interesting, remember seeing a thing on 60 minutes one day randomly flipping channels about non verbal with autism using iPad's to talk. A cool use of tech! Open source is cool too, I know some of these apps are 100 to a few hundred dollars.

Wasn't expecting it could be controlled with head movements. Kinda reminds me that once I was thinking It would be cool if some way tech could read your mind but I don't know if that'd work well and probably could be used for bad. haha. I'm a horrible speller. Then also I feel I can think out code faster than I can type it - so that'd be cool if you could just stare at a screen, click your mouse somewhere and just think code and it writes it.
No, GP is detached from reality. Nothing to see here.
As a Canadian who has lived in the US is it all that different?

What I’ve observed is the US is very upfront and unapologetic about it. While countries like Canada and those in the EU are much more discrete.

Take Omar Khadr for example. Canada was more than happy to help the US with that “terrorist”, no questions asked. While at the same time “tsk tsk-ing” about how the US is handling the situation.

The hypocrisy is something else.
San Quentin inmates learn programming through The Last Mile
The Merlin 1-D Vacuum on the Falcon upper stage is much more powerful than the RD-0124 used on the Soyuz third stage (934 kN vs 294 kN), but uses a single huge engine bell, whereas the Soyuz has four smaller engine bells. I would imagine this might make the Soyuz a bit smoother.

The Falcon also stages really early (this allows you to land the first stage), so the 2nd stage MVac engine is more powerful than is really ideal. As fuel burns away, I understand the MVac has to throttle down a lot to keep g-loads under control. I believe it can throttle down to something like 35%. Rocket combustion tends to get less stable at lower throttle settings, so this probably is part of what they're feeling.
Does this automatically remove the element and give no feedback to the site, always give the site permission to set cookies, or always deny the site permission?
Tl;Dr : yes. Immensely. Almost 9 times.
I think over the course of several paragraphs that's true, but within one it tends to be pretty good.
Publishers do a have a legitimate business, since they provide many services to authors. Heck, they even provide useful services to readers since the imprint is usually a good way to filter for better quality publications.

That being said, I don't agree with how they have been handling digital sales or lending.
I am not really a coder so if anybody else wants to take up on this a lot of HNers would be grateful
I agree; the greater challenge isn’t whether they can maintain journalistic integrity, but whether they can earn and grow audience’s trust.

Consider how much time and energy is spent reviewing SaaS solutions by team leaders in every organization. In parallel, consider that the marketing efforts of SaaS offerings consist primarily of outlining use cases. It seems operating as a neutral middle could build sizable value in time savings for both entities and open the door to many connections.

I speculate if the creator(s) have any plans of direct monetization whatsoever.
> On a desktop machine, there’s no benefit in lower power dissipation and slimmer bodies

The obvious win for me is shipping multiple times as many cores in the same TDP. If Apple used a chiplet strategy and good interconnect to make scaling easy - imagine a 16-core Mac Mini, 64-core iMac Pro, and something obscene (256 cores?) in a Mac Pro.
Well you can randomly string words together and occasionally get lucky and make a meaningful argument, but that doesn't mean you've created a good method for constructing new ideas.

It seems to me the simplest way to decide whether or not something is meaningful (in this context) is whether or not the author (which is the algorithm GPT-3) can respond to criticisms against its own argument in a coherent way. In which case it has to get lucky twice, so it's that much less likely to happen randomly. If the author cannot respond to comments in a comprehensible manner, it's hard to defend the author.

Sure, but you're simply restating the problem. You can also keep from getting seriously burned by carefully following the strategy of keeping your skin cool all of the time. Problem solved. Hooray.
I learned a new thing today, thanks for posting this!
Some alternative explanations (likely a mix of them): papers that you see / think about influence the direction of your research; lit review is done early, but relevant papers you see in the process will be added; lit review is never going to be perfect, so more advertising = more chances of spotting something relevant.
> currently ML/AI requires us to know what the possible answers can be before we even begin training the network

Isn't that what unsupervised learning is for?
I'm going to try that. It's definitely uBO because when I replaced it with Ghostery, the problem was gone. That's the same on all my pre-rpi4 devices and my laptop. If that fixes it, I'm surprised they don't just set it up that way by default in Raspbian.

But now it'll be hard to tell, because Youtube has changed the way it downloads stuff in the background without prioritizing the stream. uBO definitely blocked a whole lot more noise than Ghostery does.

It's possible we _could_ - a combination of DNSSEC used to sign records, and TLSA records to provide the linking. In reality, however...
Tangential question, but I would love to know if a group of people who prefer ads but not cookie warnings exist? Do they rank supporting the website above minor inconvenience of pop-ups and advertisements? That's gotta be a unicorn in terms of internet users.

I don't believe either test astronaut had ever ridden a Soyuz, so they don't have any way to make that comparison.

We'll have to wait for the next mission, which will have an astronaut who has also ridden a Soyuz (and a Shuttle).
This is indeed a very positive and smart move. Despite the fact that
- a lot of sites just don't really play along (they'll just show you a nag popup that you have to OK, but they'll plant their tracking cookies before that anyway)
- a lot of sites deliberately make it hard to opt out (this ranges from having to click around in the consent manager to outright sending you to a 20 page PDF that tells you that you can disable cookies in your browser if you want to - this, BTW, is clearly not an acceptable solution according to GDPR), don't show you the content if you don't accept all their tracking cookies (this is also illegal)
- some sites just make it a bit harder than it could be (you can see the very same consent boxes on other sites with a more user friendly 'opt out all' option)
- some sites do 100% OK

But it turns out that 100% OK is still not good enough. This whole thing should really be managed either by the browsers or by an extension and the consent request should come in a standard, machine digestable way (XML, json, what not). You could then just set your preferences once, that should work for most sites and every now and then (but less and less frequently) you'd be asked about what to do with unknown cookies on unknown sites.

In short, just because part of the industry is trying to circumvent regulation and because the current implementation is not the most efficient, we should not give up on the whole idea.
I agree with you but they seem to be changing the default 'master' in github because of this. https://twitter.com/natfriedman/status/1271253144442253312
have you tried camping to reset your circadian rhythm? i find that after camping there is a really good reset that lasts a while.
Are any of these transcoding libraries open source?
Whitelist the good sites? Given that the vast majority of sites run garbage and/or intrusive ads, auto-playing videos, etc. and I don't really care about supporting most of them, a blacklist-first approach makes sense and I just whitelist the very few on which I'll accept ads.
First, I think the legal analysis behind Controlled Digital Lending has a fundamential flaw in the creation of a digital copy and I have serious doubts that it would hold up for commerically published fiction. Having worked in publishing I strongly suspect that publishers didn't care to deal with some minor violations which is why they didn't go to court over it.

Second, even if Controlled Digital Lending is permited what they did is so far beyond that. And they did it with widely avaialble commerical works making fair use arguments of access, academic use etc. non viable.

The internet archive has an important mission, and they may have put that in jeopardy in order to let people get free copies of books that anyone can get from their local library (maybe going on a wait list) or just buy outright for under $10.
Yeah, I think that's true. I consider myself utterly incompetent for this task, and yet I've ended up with eight step-children over the years. It sucks for all concerned, but something is usually better than nothing.
I’m not a doctor, but I would say yes, you’d lose any acquired immunity since you kill off all the memory b-cells that store that information.

But you’d also gain the donor’s immunity, and if they’ve been vaccinated, the recipient would have that immunity as well.
Unlike in the past, it’s impossible to read every paper in one’s field. Since tools like PubMed, ISI, and Scopus all use a proprietary algorithm to rank search results, I appreciate any alternative channels for bringing relevant papers to my attention.

It’s also perfectly justified to search for papers solely based on how influential they’ve been in your field. Papers which trend on Twitter (perhaps long-awaited results) are already having an impact on labs, probably being discussed in journal club and shaping the trajectory of the field.
I remember when I disliked the trendy XMLization of everything. I didn't know when I was well off.
My books.
Polynomials with large degrees are continuous. It's just that they can still change by a large amount (i.e. having a large derivative) when the input is changed by a small amount.

I invite you to construct the Lagrange polynomial (i.e. interpolating polynomial) for points on a nice, simple curve with some noise. They will, by definition, pass through every point given, and yet it will likely behave very badly outside the range of the given points.
They most of the time shouldn't be "we're using cookies (and we've planted all of them without your consent, oops)" anyway, but consent managers.

But yeah, this could be handled in a more user friendly way, if there was a standard way to express the consent options (with the cookies and their functionalities) that the browsers could parse. Then the page could check if the browser handles it or if it has to fall back to what they're doing now.
I think the problem here in the US goes far beyond handcuffs. See this recent spreadsheet[0] listing incidents of police brutality in the US during the George Floyd protests.

I think it’s sad that it comes to this. It’s not as if they were distributing perpetual licenses to these books, and anyone getting a book off the internet archive almost certainly wouldn’t have bought the book anyway.

Large publishers are the worst. And the writers aiming to profit off off the fact people cannot go to a normal library can be dumped in the same bucket.

I’d like to see some numbers from a writer that actually lost income due to this, and maybe I’ll reconsider. As it is, I just see them screaming bloody murder over something that’s completely theoretical.
> Part of that is having a tool that’s fun and abstracts away the boring bits.

What is "boring" varies from person to person.

I know, when our son plays Minecraft Java Edition, he likes to play it with the debug screen (F3) on.

He doesn't understand what most of the details on that screen mean, although he is learning a few. (He was asking me to explain what X, Y and Z coordinates were.) But, even if he doesn't understand most of it, he still likes it, and probably sooner or later he'll ask me more questions about it.

Automate your social media content
How do you get your daughter into this? Mine just wants to paint and sculpt clay - she hates anything computer related because her school has "STEM" class where the force computers and STEM down their throats.

She maintains straight A's in everything except sport so ability isn't her issue. She hates academics in general though, her A's are because she's scared of doing badly / getting attention from her teachers.

Maybe mainstream schooling isn't for her. Total shite.
Getting a PR or marketing campaign up must be done in parallel to the dev work.
It can take a few months to find the right journalists in the right publications , get their attention and get their time.
On another note, some product launches are also times with fixed date events (Back to school (media industry), CES (Consumer electronics), any other expo in any other industry). it is key to time the dev deliverables. and if you need to chose between two features to dev, well, you need estimates as in inputs.

Estimates are not perfect, you should not spend 5 man days to plan 2 months of work. Planning can be done with guestimates and best effort and when done right, are super useful.
In that case it should be in /opt, where application bundles not managed by the system's primary packaging system belong.
Not sure I'd call it a privilege exactly, but frank boredom probably did help me learn computers as a child. There was no hardware around, nor anyone to learn from, so I simply read whatever sales literature and manuals I could get my hands on (which wasn't much). Sheer boredom led me to study them well, and it was good early learning.

That said, boredom can also be quite agonizing, and I wouldn't wish it on any but my enemies.

This isn't "my model", it's the standard, and rather flawed, political compass.

Bernie was as social democrat basically, so that's left of center, you can look up exactly where people would put him pretty easily.

Antifa is anti-fascist, so they are (from the name) at the bottom and (in practice) mostly fairly far left, although there are antifa centrists (bottom middle) too.

If you didn't hear anti-authoritarian leftists who are socialists/communists/anarchists and anti-capitalists critiquing China, the state capitalist country claiming to be communist ... you have either been under a rock or in a filter bubble.

I know politics isn't the usual HN topic, but I think this goes beyond politics at this point. Until I saw this list, I had no idea how out of control this situation has gotten here.

I'm saddened for my country and hope that this can be a turning point for all of us.
I’d like to see a Venn diagram of (people claiming the word master can offend someone) and (people actually offended by the word master). I suspect the overlap is nonexistent.
Mathematical Logic and Philosophy cross over quite a bit, but I think any text which features proof sketches of Löwenheim–Skolem (present in Philosophical and Mathematical Logic) qualifies as a mathematics text. At any rate the category Religion and Philosophy is wrong, Analytic Philosophy maybe.
Yep, there is a standard for exactly that - it's called DANE - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNS-based_Authentication_of_...

I was quite hopeful it might lead to widespread use of self-signed certs, though with things like LetsEncrypt, it's not really needed any more

Completely branded/personalized/custom domain names
Introducing Handshake:

Handshake makes it possible to have a completely personalized domain name. For example, I actually happen to own the Handshake extension ".johnnywu", which means you can access my Linkedin profile via "linkedin.johnnywu", my Paypal via "paypal.johnnywu", and even my MeUndies referral code via "meundies.johnnywu". At the moment, in order to resolve Handshake names you'll need to either change your DNS settings or use an alternative search engine like HNS.to — you can't yet just search these names directly in a browser like Chrome or Safari. Keep in mind though that HNS.to was developed by 1 person over a single weekend, so the only thing really holding browsers back from natively resolving Handshake names is merely awareness, which is why I've reached out here.

One example to show how much momentum Handshake is already picking up, would be via Cloudflare's All Time Feedback and Product Requests page (https://community.cloudflare.com/c/feedback/prodreq/30/l/top/all?order=votes) — in just one month's time, Handshake support on Cloudflare has already become a top 4 most upvoted product request of all time while the next most recent top 15 post was suggested back in July 2019.

We're still updating our company's landing page so currently it isn't the most helpful for understanding what we or Handshake are all about but long story short, Namebase is merely a group of people who were so enthusiastic about Handshake that they built an entire company around making it as easy as possible for anyone to interact with Handshake. If you'd like to learn more about Handshake or Namebase, all of the relevant resources you'll want is accessible via my personal website, "home.johnnywu" (remember to search for it via HNS.to).

Hope you'll get just as excited about Handshake as I am!

Best,

Oh, but look at the equipment that's shut down, doing nothing, all winter! What a waste. Sure, the electricity is a bit more expensive, but it's still fairly cheap so why not turn it on and get some use out of it?

All processes have some waste. In the end, you need estimates done with real numbers to see if it's worth doing. We aren't going to settle it with casual chit-chat.
That you insinuate i'm being racist even as you acknowledge my acknowledgement of the existence of racism just tells me that you're here to fight and not willing to have a civil discourse.
Previously, when "The computer says no" it was possible that an engineer somewhere might know why the computer said no.

With AI, nobody knows why the computer said no.
You are taking a very small percentage of noncompetes, the ones where people get paid well for doing nothing, and acting like that's the common case. The sit-on-a-beach ones are negotiated by people with very high leverage. I've never heard of a friend in tech getting one; the only people I know personally who have gotten them are finance quants with PhDs and long track records.

You conveniently omit what I'm referring to above with "those", which is not the four-leaf-clover, sit-on-a-beach contracts. It's the rest, which involve no pay and foreclosed employment options. Those are indeed unethical (in that they exploit power to create negative-sum outcomes) and contrary to free markets (in that they reduce both supply and demand to advantage a powerful market player).
With Whole Foods under that umbrella and our regional competitor closed ( earth fare, vulture capitalists pushing for growth beyond the capacity of the market, also they ran out of runway just before Covid and would have been making a killing )

That would place the plugin authors in a potentially dicey position legally-speaking.

The publisher is trying to adhere to a law (for better or for worse) by giving the user visibility into technologies and data usage.

A plugin hiding that by default can lead to all sorts of nastiness.
