"We also of course have more traditional links in the search results, which we also source from multiple partners, though most commonly from Bing (and none from Google)."

This refers to the actual search results and if they used their bot for that I don't see why they would say "multiple partners" instead of "multiple partners and our own crawler". The fact that they don't have their own index is such a common "complaint", and this page is often referred, so if they really used their own bot they should have added that a long time ago.

And it's not just a legacy page they have forgot to update. It keeps being updated. In 2019 it said:

"We also of course have more traditional links in the search results, which we also source from a variety of partners, including Oath (formerly Yahoo) and Bing."

It's interesting to note that back in 2014 the page looked like this: https://web.archive.org/web/20131202065705/https://duck.co/h...

Here they talk about their own indexes getting bigger but at the same time admitting that "it seems silly to compete on crawling and, besides, we do not have the money to do so". Completely understandable but also interesting that the current page doesn't mention their own index at all. Maybe they used to have a goal to build their own independent index that has now been dropped?

All in all, I think it's safe to presume that their own crawler is only used for Instant Answers etc since that's the part of the sources where it's mentioned. Or at the very least used to such a small extent in the actual search results that it would be disingenuous to even mention it as a source.
"Gave up", that's a charitable way of putting it ;)

But to the topic, yes there's no apparently shorter way of referring to the UK as anything else but "Britain"

Other Kingdoms get away because they only have a "single name" (Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, etc)

You actually were given a very specific fundamental argument way up thread, which you've ignored:

Benford's law doesn't apply if values aren't expected to have size-relative even distribution across multiple orders of magnitude.
Ranked programming: Probabilistic programming without probabilities
As someone who is using a CPU in the cloud for leisure activities this is spot on. Unless you rent what basically amounts to a desktop you're not going get a GPU and high performance cores from most cloud providers. They will instead give you the bread and butter efficient medium performance cores with a decent amount of RAM and a lot of network performance but inevitable latency. The price tag is pretty hefty. After a few months you could just buy a desktop/laptop system that fits your needs much better.

You can still drive your ICE car, but it'll become expensive.
I agree. My previous flat had parking about 50 metres away. The previous, people just parked anywhere on the road. I bet they won't be installing charging points at every random location on a road that anyone could possible park on
I'm optimistic about Web3. Filecoin and Sia have added incentives for decentralized storage markets so I think truly decentralized applications are now practical to develop.

I think this kind of explanation irritates many people for some reason. As if things just can't be that way, there must be a repeatable, reproducible recipe that someone else could follow, and if they did, they would get the same results as Ramanujan.

I think maybe because it flies in the face of everyone that claims 10x developers are not possible. Or that some people are just genetically gifted and there's nothing you could possibly do that would get you within a hundred yards of them no matter how much hard work you put in, or how good your teachers were, etc. (thinking about John von Neumann here).

It's sort of depressing to think that there's almost a different species of man amongst us. It's undeniable though.

I think you’ve completely missed the point of what is a very reasonable and forward-thinking signalling exercise.

You cannot have sudden cliff-edges in policies (like banning the sale of new ICE vehicles) that would put thousands, if not millions of people out of jobs.

You need to send signals like this to the market well in advance so they can invest and plan ahead.

That's not what this discussion is about. 16GB is definitively limiting if you run VMs but 32GB should be plenty. If you need more then either you are running very specialized applications which means your own preferences are out of touch with the average developer or you are wasting all of the RAM on random crap.
Besides having an electric car, I'd love to have a 70-80's sports car for the looks and feel of it. It would be just for fun and luxury.

Joke's on them, because nowadays cars are made with a focus on the first owner's experience - some parts have become more expensive and integrated, so keeping an ICE vehicle running in 2050 is going to cost a fortune.
Correct, but it is like comparing apples with oranges. For me these are 2 different things, which can be enjoyed separately.

I don't understand why you were downvoted. This is exactly it. I live in Germany, and bought a petrol gar this year. I'd love to have a battery EV. I simply cannot charge it anywhere, maybe at work (and since Corona started I have been to the office exactly once). There are like two public charging spots in the city of 320k people I live in (that I know of), and I'd say 70% or 80% of people here do not have a driveway or garage. As long as this infrastructure problem is not solved the government can make EV cars cheaper or not, as long as people cannot use them, petrol will go strong.

It's realistic, not nationalistic.

1) Many European and Asian nations count on the US for a nuclear umbrella.

2) This ani-missile missile is very important to avoid N. Korea blackmailing the US or Japan.

3) Note that N. Korea is not a lone actor. I've seen discussion of China and N. Korea playing good cop/bad cop with the West to keep us distracted, while the CCP quietly ramps up their own military.

It does get tiresome correcting the childish comments of HN readers.
I know that decent electric cars will drop in price over time, but I don't know if they'll become in reach. I also am not convinced the secondhand market will be any good in the next decade, batteries have a limited lifespan and will need to be replaced eventually.

You can buy a beater for <1000 pounds which can still work just fine for a few years, I don't see that happening with electric cars.

These are cases where the West did _not_ want to escalate. Too small and at the end of the day the only consequences for the West are the refugees and terrorism. Both can be "handled" by closing borders and turning up the surveillance state.

If China decides to shoot back, all bets are off. It would be exactly the error the Japanese made when they attacked Pearl Harbor and thought they can get away with it. That would directly affect the West and our leaders could not say anymore "will be fine, we're taking the high road here" unless they want to be lynched by a mob.

It's also notable that the USA has also tolerated the Kim regime, because it gives them an excuse to be present in force in South Korea. It's not like the CIA couldn't have the Kims removed if they put some effort into it. PRC would have to pretend to be angry about it, but it would also get them out of the awkward situation.

LTSC is fantastic in that it ditches all the cruft. I wish they had a consumer-friendly license for it, though. Microsoft's vision for consumer windows 10 is no longer an unobtrusive platform that doesn't get in the way of the user, much less force unwanted features on them.
> When you are uplinking, there's probably going to be other satellites also getting some of your signal, especially as we move from 1000, to 10,000, to beyond numbers of satellites.

Only starlink is going to be using this frequency band, so it doesn't matter if it hits anything else.

And of the starlink sats, you're not going to have more than a handful in view at once, so aiming is easy. And as far as base stations go, you just need one every X hundred miles, with several dishes.

The problems you're imagining could be real on a sufficiently dense constellation, but there is no reason to go anywhere near that density, so it's not a problem anyone has to worry about.

Famous last words preceding every single failed US military intervention. In fact, preceding most other military interventions in other countries.

I live in Edinburgh, one of the more car-unfriendly cities in the UK and recently bought a Model 3. I park on the street, the city has gone nowhere with its plans to provide on street chargers.
Yet it isn't a problem, despite a relative lack of public chargers compared to elsewhere in the country it is still perfectly feasible. I've tweaked my habits to go to the supermarket that has a charger in the car park, when planning what to do at the weekend I check nearby charging locations.

Business locations can acquire visitors by offering them, and there's all sorts of upsell benefits. A garden centre that has one might get me to stay and visit their cafe if I know I'm going to be there for an hour for instance.
I agree with @himlion :)
I live in a big crowded city too.
Executives in big company cutting costs for whatever is not making immediate profit. One of those moments when you come to understand how out of touch they are with their audience. Gamers are nostalgic breed and PS1/2/3 made many childhood memories. Nintendo knows to capitalize on their history far better than Sony or Microsoft.
It's not that hard to build curbside chargers. You don't need high current chargers when most parking spots have a charger. A kilowatt or two will be plenty. Cars spend 23h a day parked. EVs use 15-25kWh/100km. Most people drive less than 50km a day. Sprinkle some fast charging along highways for longer road trips and charging is no longer an issue.

This is where autonomous vehicles come in.

Why pay to own and store your own vehicle, which you might use 5% of the time, when you could hail an autonomous vehicle on demand, for less than the cost of current ride-hailing services?

Owning your own vehicle will become an unnecessary luxury, reserved for the kind of people who have the space to store them.
The forced obsolescence of consoles is amazing. Now the new generation is advertising as one of their major achievements the retro-compatibility with the previous generation games, but what about PS3 or 360 games? Don't worry, you will have the option to pay again for the same game, maybe with new textures (but maybe not).

At the same time, on PC I can play almost any game it has existed in PC history.
What I don't like about this approach is that everybody potentially sees different versions of the emoji.

>When macOS deprecates support for these ARM Macs in 5-7 years, Linux isn't an option for them unless Apple puts in a lot of work to support a mainline Linux kernel on their hardware.

Why would Apple need to "put a lot of work in"? Apple doesn't support Linux on 86 either. Third parties did the Mac Linux ports for 86, and will do them for the ARM Macs.

The only thing Apple needs to do is to not lock the ARM Macs from booting another OS, which is very easy to do -- Apple doesn't need to invest lots of work to run Linux on ARM Macs, just needs not to prevent it.
This is more of a failing of the runtime that Electron uses and how it (ab)uses that runtime. Browsers were never meant to be run once per application. Sciter JS was supposed to be an Electron replacement but it didn't pan out.

Stickiness of architecture is a change from how Rosetta worked in the PowerPC to Intel transition: in macOS Big Sur child processes will prefer the arch of the parent process if one is available to maximize compatibility. So for example launching x86_64 sh will cause a python invocation from that shell to also be x86_64.

The "arch" utility is your escape hatch to switch the preferred arch for the spawned process and all of its children.
> the government will take action on the high prices of electric vehicles and on the charging infrastructure

Why spend money on access to more vehicles instead of improving public transport.

If we are serious about the environment and the whole 3x R's, we should treat vehicles as the luxury that they are.

If you have to commute between your remote farm and your nearest city sure maybe there should be a government incentive. But if you are within an urban setting incentivizing more vehicles (eletric or otherwise) is not a good government investment in my view.

I think a big issue with people that say that public transit doesn't work for their particular use-case, or their logistics, or their 5 kids, is because they never experienced high quality, high frequency, reliable public transit.

This is arguably a near impossible task in Automotive-centric North and South America but it is absolutely feasible in Europe, Asia, and Africa.

Except for the leadership.
When you see some infinite nested pattern, you try to capture its symmetries in some way. Differential equations are one such way. Or looking for symmetries. Induction can also help, or looking for fixed points. They can all give information. It’s a bag of tools. One could go and then look at the differential equation in more detail and relate it geometrically to the series and maybe learn some cool things (but that would be a posteriori, which you don’t want!)

Also, the differential equation doesn’t come from nowhere/is not random, it’s derived in the presentation from differentiating the function and seeing that it still resembles the original function in some way, allowing you to describe it with a differential equation.

What he describes as a trick with solving the differential equation can be explained - if you have f’(x)=A(x)f(x)+b, that’s a strong hint there’s an exponential there somewhere; if A is x, then the chain rule hints that you have and x^2 in the exponential, etc...

A lot of it (depending on what mathematician) can boil down to pattern matching and having a big-enough bag of tricks.

Ehh...we get a stupid huge amount of sunlight from the sun daily, and the benefit of synthetic fuel is that it's a lot easier to store long term then electrical energy in batteries.

I think the main issue is that it's a lot easier to convert diesel's to run on alternative fuel oils then it is to get gasoline vehicles to do the same.

>There is absolutely zero evidence that Iran is enriching uranium to weapons grade levels.

They're just collecting it since it looks shiny. Not because it's a shorter step to weapons grade from there.

>Ignoring how the phrase "death to x" is an aggressive translation of "down with x," how is that worse than actually using weapons to attack Iran? Killing people is worse than saying they should die.

A translation often used by the government itself. Which isn't shy about supporting 'resistance' killing people.
