The ABC are not neutral. They lean centre left. Our current government is conservative, of course they are critical of it.

This is the same ABC that reports on the BLM protests in Australia, is happy to parrot the 434 Aboriginals have died in custody since 1991, but fails to include the facts[1]:

58% of deaths were due to natural causes

32% of deaths were due to hanging

5% of deaths were due to drugs/alcohol

4% were due to external trauma

In total, 9 Aboriginals have died in custody from unlawful acts from custodial staff. 10s of thousands of people are violating social distancing orders, because 9 people have been killed unlawfully since 1991. The ABC AREN'T REPORTING THAT. Instead, they have activist after activist deriding the system that is killing black men.

It's all bullshit.

In 2019, the Australian Institute of Criminology did a study on deaths in custody, and its conclusion was:

Indigenous people are now less likely than non-Indigenous people to die in custody, largely due to a decrease in the death rate of Indigenous prisoners from 1999–2000 to 2005–06.[1]

So don't go around telling people the ABC isn't biased.

EDIT: To be clear, this doesn't mean there aren't things we should be doing better, given that Aboriginals make up 28% of the prison population, its just that the current narrative openly being pushed by the ABC and others is pure, unadulterated bullshit.
Bolt was produced 7 years after Volt. I certainly hope it's a radically different platform. I have read previous articles years ago by GM execs acknowledging their battery tech at the time was not good enough for all electric, hence they created the Volt to gain electrification expertise.

By your logic, ANY electric vehicle GM produced would have been a compliance car...because...any electric vehicle would also have met that requirement.

Spark EV was manufacture for compliance. Bolt...no.
SJW would rewrite history if they could, doing away with anything that didn't agree completely with whatever they consider moral.

This is far more horrifying to me than the fact that Churchill held beliefs largely in line with his generation and upbringing.
If the degree is still such that other search engines return Churchill, and Google also returns Churchill if you make clear your intent (https://www.google.com/search?q=winston+churchill&tbm=isch), I think we can relax a bit on the fear of Big Brotherism.
No x86 ISAs in here. All licensed designs or first party manufacturer. I wasn't saying nobody could make anything as complex as current Intel CPUs.

Cloning other ISAs either from clean room or from licensed designs like ARM seems to be much easier than matching Intel CPUs with a massive breadth of software and less hard specifics at the edges.

Thanks for the plug, I am the author and I have recently made a few more updates. Speed improvements to the installer, better apple keyboard (added another driver detection for newer keyboards), also improved support for Ubuntu Budgie (probably the most mac like distro out there worth trying besides a couple of others such as Enso OS).
Who should own the copyright of brush-generated art?

The question is moot. The tool cannot own the copyright.

The AI is no different than a brush or a hammer or a screwdriver.
That's not the point. Copyright law - at least the European versions of it - requires a human creator. So the output of an algorithm is not protected under copyright law in general, even if the output appears to be "creative". If the output includes parts of a pre-existing work by a human creator, then it might be subject to copyright law, but in favour of the creator of the pre-existing work.

"here" meaning where? Can you point to it, because there's not "a lot" on this thread.
I also got stuck here with no way forward. (until reading here)

The explanatory text "Note that the matrix first element-wise multiplied by 3." is very unclear.

Also, looking at it from a Python novice, it is not clear we were supposed to know that the .prod() operator can act on something that is not purely a named variable, but can work on an already manipulated quantity within parentheses.

Also, and this is not your fault but of Python's, but it is not clear (or merits some explanation) why some operators take the form "operator(x)" while others behave like "x.operator" or even "x.operator()" with no argument.
Try Delphi/Lazarus, Qt or maybe even VisualBasic.

Client Dev has regressed since those days, now it's in a state where devs can't even imagine anything better, but we clearly had that...
Please, people. If Google wanted to make a statement about imperialists and white overlordship, there are more impactful ways to do so than hiding Churchill's picture.

This is just a glitch
Yeah, I had the same issue as the fellow above. I think it would be helpful if the ui displayed the result of the calculation. Debugging the std-dev example was annoying. I ended up opening a python shell so that I could see results of intermediate steps.

Also, my difficulty with numpy isn't applying functions to arrays, it's seeing __repr__ of a multi-dimensional arrays and grokking what it's showing me.

In addition to the lies I listed in my other comment, Taibbi also lies about what he calls the "now-discredited Steele dossier" in this piece.

Here are the facts: not a single significant conclusion in the Steele dossier has ever been discredited or proven false to date. Not one.

Anyone who read Taibbi during the W Administration, and who reads him again now, can readily discern that someone got to him. It's not the same guy. He's flown off the handle and spouts readily-falsifiable information at a truly alarming rate. You can Google for 30 seconds and find lie after lie. It's the same with Glenn Greenwald, who Taibbi is now allied with.

If you don't know why Taliban killed someone, then you can't prove beyond all reasonable doubt that the defendant's actions caused that death and can't convict anyone for that. If there's no evidence for participating in a crime, you can't charge people for that crime.
> Could you give a few examples of this? I still can't think of anything particularly common that would reasonably justify more than a dozen tabs at once...

as an example, someone asks "hey can you update the appstore screenshots" and while i may still have appstore open on anothet tab, ill open a mew one just for that task, then later somone asks, hey whats up with jira ticket 1234, now i already have 3 tickets open in jira, and i dont wanna disturb those, somill open another tab, same with online docs like confluence, or web searches on google... at some poont the overwhelming number of tabs themselves get to be too much, so clearing context to yet-another-tab, is a way of coping i think...

i see this all the time in group meetings btw

> I'm working on a piece of software that goes several levels beyond what browsers currently offer for information organization, and (per the topic)

that sounds cool. one idea ive had for a while is that sites (like confluence ot jira, or gdocs) are basically apps, so they should be treated as such and automatically grouped together (im windows or tabs) just like native apps...
Even the guy who started this site had something to say about shitting on orthodoxy:

>What scares me is that there are moral fashions too. They're just as arbitrary, and just as invisible to most people. But they're much more dangerous. Fashion is mistaken for good design; moral fashion is mistaken for good. Dressing oddly gets you laughed at. Violating moral fashions can get you fired, ostracized, imprisoned, or even killed.

I'm simply refuting GP. The left's social agenda isn't defined by opposition to the right - apart from abortion. For the most part, the right wants things to stay the way they are.
What is far more horrifying? That Google isn't returning a photo of him in the Onebox system?

Image search still works fine if you need a photo of him.
I wasn't defending private insurance companies, and I don't think they were mentioned in the article.

The point I feel like making is that people have all the stock phrases and the same narrative about the US health care system when we aren't talking about the private insurance companies. When we aren't talking about people who are uncovered, abandoned by the government. Which makes me feel deceived, that people were making honest critiques in the first place lo these many years, rather than propagandizing against America because it's American.

There are companies that are not-for-profit and part of public organizations, which are just like insurance companies but handle administration for Medicaid members. Are these useless, are these parasites? I don't believe hardly anyone who has an opinion on the system even knows such things exist. If they do have some purpose, in a public system, maybe popular criticism of insurance in general is too facile.

I certainly don't think it's Big Brother* at work here but it is worth pondering what it means that communication is so centralized that the idiosyncrasy of a single point of access can affect billions of people. For every quirk that is noticed, what goes unnoticed?

Okay, elide "partisan" from my comment.

My point is that there was never an "objective" news that didn't fall somewhere on the left/right spectrum and which colored how that source presented the news.

> Objective journalism is not about giving both sides an equal voice. It is OK to use rationale and logic to support one side over the other.

I agree. But don't you think that reporters at The Atlantic and at the National Review both think they are doing that? Or NPR vs Fox News? And yet they present very different views of the news.

> Should all journalism about evolution also include equal time for creationism?

You won't find me arguing for that.
Google and others are literally tripping over each other to virtue-signal these days. That said, this has to be a bug.
> The idea that ARM should be used in any/all situations is naive.

I mean, sure, this is true. MSP430s are great when you need the lowest power, and AVRs are tiny and cheap for lowest cost. But... I do this for a living, and there's a reason our go-to is the Cortex-M series. M3 or M4 if you need a lot of CPU power, or M0/M0+ if you need small. They're just so, so much easier to program that the trivial additional cost of the microcontroller washes away in the noise.

And it's not like this leads to Linux toasters; the M0 is not a microprocessor, it's a microcontroller. It's got a two-stage "pipeline" and absolutely no memory protection! There are tricks to get the larger M3s to run Linux, but it's hacky and not something you'd want to ship.

PICs are essentially obsolete, and none of us would ever consider them for new development. They're annoyingly constrained hoary old beasts.
And, hey, to their credit, DDG does a fine job of returning an immediate Churchill photo. This is to be expected, since it's a bug in Google and not Bing.
This seems to be an issue with the structured information coming from Wikipedia. His picture still shows up in image searches, it's like his profile picture just got deleted or something.

If this was actually an attempt by Google to censor something then they're doing a pretty poor job at it...
Interesting, I havevn't followed up on it, but the UN recently did come out to deny these claims in a recent press conference, which didn't deny she was an employee there.

But you're right details are not easy to self-verify; but given what the CCP has done and continue to do with the WHO is it really all that far-fetched to see they paid off a bunch if UN members to pass them information. Consider how the US needed operatives/assets inside the Iranian nuclear program to deploy what eventually would become Stuxnet-gate.
It seems like it would lend itself better to the modal editing of neo/vi/m
>The ErgoDex is more versatile but less comfortable.

This has been my experience as well. I think the ErgoDex is likely more comfortable for people with smaller hands though. But the Kinesis feels about perfect for me. I have a Logitech T650 attached to the center with double-sided tape so it's also good for lap-typing when I need it.
I spent some time defining an alternate encoding of the base instruction set. I dont think they did a good job, but it's also not easy to do better. I started from an assumption of variable length - 16 bit or 32 bit opcodes plus immediate data in 16 bit chunks. It's not easy. Remember all those strange bit positions are irrelevant in hardware. But they are a bitch for things like linkers.
>Small farmers can't just call up their local supermarket and say "hey can you take a field's worth of arugula off my hands? No sorry I don't have any way of packaging it into retail portions, I've always sold in food-service size bags to restaurants."

Speaking as someone who has done buying for both supermarket chains and smaller independent stores for about a decade: they absolutely can. Maybe not to Safeway/your local Kroger-owned chain, but certainly to everyone smaller than that: large regional chains like New Seasons Market in the PNW, smaller chains like Bi-Rite in SF and Berkeley Bowl -- in other words, they still have a good chance with roughly 40% of the grocery retail market. And when I would get a call like this, I nearly always converted.

Also, produce doesn't generally need to be packaged into retail ready portions -- that's hardly a problem most of the time. Maintaining availability and quality, managing inventory and buying, and keeping prices computerized and margins reasonable are much harder problems, particularly with produce, and having a direct relationship with a small producer who can be more flexible than a larger distributor can address many of those.
We have open-source UEFI and openfirmware implementations already; is it really any more complicated then porting one and populating what I understand to be fairly standard interfaces for exposing device information to the operating system? Like... I'm sure it's not actually that easy, but what's the hard part once you've got working code execution from anyting resembling a normal compile chain?
You can Google for 30 seconds and find a source that supports anything you want to believe.

I'm not saying you're wrong, but simply saying you can find contradictory information on Google isn't sufficient.
Nice work! Does Skulpt implement numpy, or did you write a shim to implement the necessary subset of numpy?
Sounds exactly like what I'm looking for, definitely will be digging into it more. Thanks!
Perhaps I am a little too glib. You are correct, often without the short term there is no long term -- especially for small businesses. But as a whole, if institutions pay ransom then there is an incentive for folks to carry out this kind of extortion.
Common misconception. Most supercomputer tasks are communication-bound or memory-throughput-bound, and devs just try to fill the resulting slack with more work.
Just to be very klear: ze current https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antifa_(United_States) is NOT ze paramilitary wing of a german communist party! we germans have nothing to do wiz your innenpolitikal troubles!
Among the many, many, many things that could cause this:

If the specific source image Google had cached as "Churchill" got scrubbed for some reason (any reason, really, including possibly copyright issues), there's no guarantee the subsystem that vends those summary images has a backup Churchill image to vend, and it may have nothing to show until the cache is repopulated.

Meanwhile, an Image Search for his name shows as much Churchill as you want. Nothing really to worry about here. Unless we're generally commenting on how one bug can have significant impact on surface-level results (which has always been true, and that's why there's more than one search engine in the world).
Complete bullshit leftist puff piece.

The U.S. food supply chain was shutdown because almost every single governor in the country issued completely unlawful shutdown orders in direct contravention to the First Amendment's guarantee to peaceably assemble, so that each of those states would then become recipients of Infinite Quantitative Easing funds being printed out of thin air by the Federal Reserve.

Whats even more insane is how bad their documentation is.

Especially with AWS I feel like I get ripped off everytime I use any of their services, because there's always some magic, undocumented buttons I need to press in their godforsaken gui to make it work.
The question is: Who would pay money for art made by machine?
I find it hilariously dumb that people are hyperventilating over what, at first glance, looks like a fairly obvious cache corruption bug of some kind.

The Orwellian implications of not showing Churchill's /image/ in the carousel of Prime Ministers after a search are precisely nil.
Hä? Watt?
One can recognize someone was a good person by the standards of the day and not to be emulated in the present. I think that's a separate issue to this apparent Google bug, however.
Collage may be a better analogy than paint. An artist can make an image with a collage of bits of other artists' works, in much the same way that a generative network can make an image out of image elements derived from other artists' works.

The question is not whether the "AI" has any ownership, but whether the original artists do, or whether the programmers do, or whether the people selecting training images do, or whether the person selecting a final artwork out of a mass of inferior generated images does.
Well not all extremist views are the same. White nationalism and UBI may both be fringe views (maybe the latter isn’t but let’s assume so). I think it’s fine to not mainstream extremist views that call for extermination or discrimination of certain sections of society even if the views have a chance to affect the polls. These fringe views have existed throughout the life of the US and it’s only when they get mainstream attention that they get energized. Every so often they flare up into the mainstream but then get killed by the rottenness of the people that espouse them.
A once did some contract work for a company that provided software for Car retailers. Their old software would present some information - comparing the price of cigarettes verse some insurance policy (against a car load), and try to convince people that finance through the dealer was the best. On examining it I realized the original version was not doing the math correctly. On fixing to be accurate, the dealer items were not the obvious best choice. I refused to change it, I was let go. Which was fine by me.
Yeah, it'd be nice if there were a transparent search engine.

Not even DDG lets us see the metadata that drives how it makes decisions on what results to return. Not like any of us can debug those search results from our couches.
Really happy that Chakra UI is getting some attention here.

I interviewed the creator, Segun Adebayo, on the JSParty podcast here: https://changelog.com/jsparty/125 You couldn't meet a friendlier maintainer. The fact that he's only been programming full-time for 6-7 months makes Chakra UI even more impressive.

I used it to build my recent side project, Virus Cafe (https://virus.cafe) (Show HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23408144), and it's been an absolute joy to work with.
It’s okay to take positions on factual matters even if a political party also happens to take that same position. If one party believes the Earth revolves around the Sun, and the other party disagrees, it’s not exactly “partisan” (at least not in the pejorative sense) to take a side on that matter.
How different is this than Google Chrome being closed vs Chromium being open? Does Safari have more substantial closed-source components?
I don't think the GPU can generate page faults in the traditional sense (which core would #PF be delivered to?). The CPU has to pre-fetch data before the GPU tries to use it. On the PS5, the GPU may be able to issue read requests directly to the IO coprocessor and have it load data off the SSD, run it through the decompressor, place the data into the requested DRAM addresses, and invalidate the necessary cache lines in any GPU or CPU cores. But I'm not sure that the PS5 can actually do that with zero CPU involvement.

That’s why many companies have a policy where licenses below a certain value can just be expensed.
That's always a good point. Decisions that Google makes do have wide-sweeping impact. This bug is minor; the decision to have top-boxes at all (for example, the fact that there's a result at all for "World War II leaders" and it includes specific people and excludes others) is a feature and has billions-of-users reach.

I don't see that as being a solid point because it is pretty challenging to point to an instance of a rare event not happening due to your actions.

The more pressing issue is that the NSA is a group of people. Nobody knows exactly what they are doing, or why, and the only information that comes out is "trust us, we're the good guys". They have a huge budget. Odds are they are massively corrupt and doing stupid things that either do nothing or make America less safe (like mass wire-tapping).
This is very impressive. Have you benchmarked it against core graphics on a Mac? I believe they've done a similar thing - performing the render on Metal
Copyright laws of most European countries specify that only works created by human beings can be afforded copyright protection. The same seems to apply to current US laws (which I'm not familiar with in detail). In UK and Ireland it is possible in principle that computer generated works can be copyrighted by the person responsible for the creation of the work. So it depends on the country. Notwithstanding the above, a work may of course be sold, in this case by the owner of the printed sheet of paper.
Ask HN: Are computing societies and councils worth your time?
I noticed that certain professions have vast community and volunteer associations (for example: lawyers can join local law councils and their state's bar association).

Do people do this kind of thing in software? Are there certain organizations or groups that are worth trying to get on or have a real impact on their local communities?
