I though about that, it is technically possible. More than that, it is relatively cheap (incoming traffic on most VPS is free). Still, I decided that searching by file size is much more cost effective. It is almost as good as searching by hash for larger files. It requires little to no code and time to implement. It is available even for torrents without seeds. It doesn't involve downloding files (which, in some people opinion, is illegal as such, even if you don't actually see the downloaded files).
My ears have aged, but when I was younger, I was frustrated that my flip-clock/radio could not go low enough before the volume hit zero. It had an analog volume dial.

I had the impression the problem was physical limitations with the dial. With fully digital controls, it seems like this wouldn't be an issue. But obviously you need more than the handful of steps the volume buttons on the side of the phone give you.

You can stop dreaming, this exists and it's called json and npm install. Some would argue this particular implementation of it is a nightmare rather than a dream though :)

At some point you also have to integrate all this interop. Possibility to compose doesn't mean composition automatically puzzles itself together.
That's bollocks. Time Machine performance over network is atrocious.

With a HP/Dell Enterprise line model all you need is a decent set of screwdrivers (and if you're touching anything that requires taking off heat pipes, skme thermal paste) and you can literally replace any part in a hour or two from a spare laptop - or you just swap the disk in a spare.

With Apple's newest shit you can't even do that since everything is soldered.

I'm a die-hard Apple fan, but for large shops professional machines are lower in maintenance cost.
Karpathy really knows how to teach and keep you engaged.

Random anecdote; I learned how to solve Rubik’s cube and get to sub 30 seconds by watching his YouTube channel ~10 years ago (He was a PhD student at Stanford at the time). I was always amazed by his teaching skills even back then.

When foreign names are written in Japanese there are a couple of ways of handling puncutation, and sometimes an equals sign is used. I hadn't actually thought about why it was used, but it seems an interpunct (・) is used where a space would be and equals can be used for an internal hyphen, or for words that are separated by a space but part of the same unit (de Niro).
Super cool program by the way!
It would be interesting to see if that standard replaces Bittorent v1. For now it is not nearly as popular (everyone just uses v1, I don't know about any site, which has any significant number of v2 torrents).

Clause 6.2 says:

> In the event AstraZeneca's ability to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement is impeded by a competing agreement entered into by or on behalf of the Commission ... AstraZeneca shall not be deemed in breach of this Agreement as a result of any such delay due to the aforementioned competing agreement(s).

It does, as you say, come from a different perspective. It seems to be saying that if the EU has other agreements, and those other agreements impact AZs ability to meet its obligations, then AZ isn't liable.

So the competing agreements are not agreements between AZ and third parties, but further agreements either between AZ and the EU (most likely, perhaps to cover additional EU orders which may run in parallel for example) or other agreements between the EU and third parties (maybe if those agreements restrict AZ ability to obtain equipment or materials).

Either way, thanks for leading me to look again. This stuff is so complex and interwoven it's almost like we need a specialised profession to help clarify the legal aspects.

The whole point of the story is that he is black and gets treated unfairly (accused of a crime) because of that. It’s fundamentally about the racial discrimination that was rife at the time.

Take that one element away by making him white, and it remains an interesting story but now it’s about something very different, and I doubt it would be as famous today. It’s also not clear Harper Lee would have bothered to write it.
Hi there, I'm the author of the project.

We built Splitter as a part of the Devbook [0] development. When building Splitter, we got inspired by Split.js [1] which is a great library, we just needed some customization and more control.

You can nest Splitter as much as you like. It's also responsive and has only two dependencies: React and styled-components.

Here's a CodeSandbox project showing the component in action [2]

Hi I'm one of the founders of Litmaps. We set out to build this tool after frustration with the state of current academic search software. This was specifically from the painful literature review process of my co-founder during his PhD.

Our first attempt to solve this was with a "map of all science" (1400-today, 100M+ articles, 1B connections), which we did build but it didn't end up solving the problem that well.

We re-approached this problem by pairing a time-based citation network visualization, with helpful search tools, and project state. Our visualization lets you quickly see how search results relate to each other (optionally with nodes sized by citation count). We currently provide keyword search (with results optionally ranked by connection to your project graph, to target searches), and a network search that scans for highly connected articles up to two degrees away from your project. Lastly the project state is nice because as you build up key articles, network search is more targeted and we can send you updates if there are any newly published works that connect to your project as we update our dataset.

It's currently in early access so it's free to use, and you don't need to create an account to get started. You can dive right in and start finding relevant papers to what you are working on or are interested in.

Interested in hearing feedback on our work so far. Thanks.

> art holds its value because there is exactly one of each painting, and the human hoarding impulse nurtures a sense of reverence towards originality.

A huge amount of art holds value because someone needed to launder money. NFTs merely provide a simpler way for people to do that.

Don't know about that. Here in France, I've just checked Amazon for a cheap, relatively modern GPU and the offer has dried up (at least those sold by Amazon). I'm looking to run a GPU-passthrough virtual Windows on my linux PC without integrated graphics.

I bought a RX550 a year or so ago so my father could run a 4K screen. It cost around 100 euros at the time. This would be ideal for my use case, but now I can't find one. Are those even useful for mining?

On the nvidia side, all you can find is some GT 710. Not sure those can run 4K screens (didn't check). Even the GT 1030 is hard to find - a few months ago they were everywhere.
Completely aside from NFTs and any details of this specific asset, cash needs a return and will follow the prospect of it anywhere.

We’re in an everything bubble and the recent investment/attention boom for NFTs is not surprising.
I've been trying to understand the same thing: what those equations actually describe. So far I've come up with this analogy. The B field describes surface of the magnetic medium or substance of unknown origin, the E field is merely the apparent velocity of this surface. Electrons and other charged particles blindly run down the slopes of the magnetic medium. There's also this rot B and rot E part that creates vorticity, similar to what we see in liquids.
Feels like someone is trying to invent a new way to launder money.
I might go a little offtopic here. Any plans to integrate https://github.com/c-smile/quickjspp. That way you can target mobile platforms too. QT supports mobiles well

As for desktop only this is great. Great work. Many people are commenting on NodeGUI only. They have forgotten to mention how Svelte also contribytes to saving memory footprint and cpu cycles over other frameworks with a much easier way to write apps. Add a small learning curve to that.

> I've never understood why Wi-Fi latency is only 2-3ms while Bluetooth is 100-200ms when they use the same frequency band.

You're mixing up two different things. Transport latency of WiFi is 2-3ms, but for bluetooth you're suddently talking about a transport, codec, receive buffer and playback code latency. That's not an apple-to-apple comparison.

If you want comparable numbers, measure the latency of audio being streamed from one computer to another via PulseAudio and you'll quickly see that it's more than 2-3ms. And there's a reason for that: most people strongly prefer their music to not stutter and work properly with all kinds of headphones instead of having absolutely no latency. Most people prefer to shove their phone in a separate room, back pocket and walk around RF saturated areas and still listen to music without interruption.

Hence the manufacturers err on the side of buffering some audio so it's more resilient to connection dropouts. You wifi, after all, doesn't need to move around busy highways and public transport systems.
That is the clearest explanation I have heard so far. Lots to think about there.
What do you mean by “capital outflow” here? Do you just mean “spending” or something more?
I should withdraw my point about competing agreements (I cannot edit it now). As has been pointed in another comment - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26350113 - there is a better reading which changes the context of the 'breach' being discussed.
It does feel like the whole proctored exam concept is a gamification for micromanagers, it perfectly illustrates that the taught subject has worthless assessment if it relies on not having access to knowledge. The expectations have to be adjusted in the remote world - you should expect students to check stuff in the internet and teach them how to utilise this knowledge how to recognise meaningful information from SEO spam. The basic knowledge can be assesed with aggressive time limits on online exams that dont leave you enough time to check in Google. My uni has measured that it giving more than 40 seconds per question opens up to students having enough time to communicate with each other or use some unwanted aid.

We have to change the way we educate. It’s been a year already...
> I'll argue that an device meant for phone calls (which is where bluetooth audio started out!) should aim for low latency by default. I also understand that the CPU/Latency/Memory trade offs made over a decade ago are not the same one's we'd make now.

It turns out that the device that's meant for phone calls has to, first and foremost, make sure that there are no dropouts, crackles and other buffer underrun articles. Latency comes afterwards.
But how does any of that refute the idea of a tweet being sold with an NFT? How do you own someone else’s tweet? And what’s the real value here?
I thought about some kind of distributed storage, but the technology is not there yet (=I cannot implement that easily, users cannot use it easily). The site uses a regular PostgreSQL database. Most data, though, is published on Internet archive in a standard format (https://torrenthistory.org/docs/open-data/). There are torrents as well, users can download and seed them. I will upload new archives monthly

Yup, multisync/multi-scan sure complicates things. :)

I'd still like to give it enough flexibility so that a preset can at least be accurate to a particular mode of operation. I actually went down the rabbit hole of looking up a precise persistence curve for the P39 phosphor (as used in the IBM 5151) - found conflicting data, but a friend will be helping out with a video and an ad-hoc program to get some results, so we'll see!
Dunno if you're native but ".. on Moon" is not right. It should be "..on the Moon". Don't ask me why it is different for Earth and the Moon but it is!

On authentication - or rather, authorization, it's usually not relevant to establish identity ass opposed to access rights - I strongly feel this should build upon cryptographic decentralized identifiers - on registration, send the service a signed number of your choice.

You can now sign in on future visits by signing messages with the same key. No e-mail or phone number needed (but can still be requested by the service, of course).

We're kind of seeing this by a second-order effect in the Ethereum dapp space, where you need this functionality to interact with the blockchain etc. Every user has some form ow Web3-compatible software, most commonly Metemask browser extension. I think it's an interesting ground where this could start spreading - the key infrastructure etc are already in place!

(And in case anyone gets confused, it can be used perfectly fine without actually transacting to any blockchain or holding any cryptocurrency - it's just normal elliptic curve keys with easy-to-use APIs)

That's a great point, and when I think about it I can only remember using google docs. Even if I could have afforded excel (I'm sure they give it to students for free), google docs was way easier for working on a team.

And nowadays, I use excel (in part because I don't really work in a cloud-friendly industry).

So I guess my point falls apart pretty hard.

This sometimes makes me think we're still on the skeuomorphism phase of text. Its more and more complex to render realistic looking with proper illumination and textured faux leather for your UI until until you just admit you're rendering a ui on a screen and then you're back to colored rectangles. We're still trying to render ideas and words resembling handwriting and print press characters, until we embrace screens and render arial and images or even monospaced fonts which are perfectly readable (I do that all day long on my code editor)

"Understanding" is always about reproduction. Reproduce quantum effects at human scale, so I will be able to watch them with my own eyes.

IF I will be able to reproduce these effects in human scale experiments by myself AND derive my own formulas from these experiments, which will closely describe the results of quantum experiments, THEN we both will trust each other that we understand QM. Otherwise, it's a religion with rituals in math, not a science. 40+ years without much progress clearly demonstrates that.

Evaluating the quality of language models is a challenge in itself. This post just presents another way to see how much your model can understand alongside a new model. This is typical when presenting new tech for which old evaluation methods might not tell you anything.

It's not really about getting the answer to that question as it is about figuring out how much information your model can glean from text.
While Switzerland is technically "Europe", people should bear in mind that it's in no way representative of the other countries. Salaries are much higher over there, even when compared to other "rich" countries (France, Germany, etc) Cost of living too from what I understand.

In Paris, for example, 50k is a pretty common salary for a not too senior developer. Outside of Paris, you may need some experience to be able to get that.

Teams and Slack kind of address the same problem and I'm seeing wildly varying numbers reported by you, without knowing anything about how you are using those apps those numbers are meaningless in my opinion, and if you think they are meaningful then clearly you can achieve different results despite addressing the same use case with the same technology stack.

Also there's "chat" and "chat", there's a reason ~nobody uses IRC anymore compared to Slack, they are not the same thing, and it's not just that Slack is easier to use.

Below is not just my experience, but also from other teams I have worked with over the past 10 years in an agile / scrum setting.

Sprints:

- pros

Helps to avoid continuous changing direction at request of stakeholders. 2 week sprint feel really good as planning horizon: not too long, not too short. Teams do not commit to anything beyond that timeline. Any roadmap commitments are based on stats and product owner responsibility. Team is not accountable for any missed deadlines.

- Cons:

It can feel like wash-rinse-repeat sometimes. Can be a killer for flow and feel inflexible when you are nearly there (getting it done) and the sprint review interrupts the flow. If the balance is bad you should probably look at kanban.

Daily’s:

- Pros

Excellent way to find out if team members need help or some syncing is needed. If done well team will “feel” if your getting closer to getting everything done. With work from home good to see everyone on the team at least once a day.

-Cons:

Hard to get right. Should be about inspection by the team to help adapt the plan and get to your goal, but this is often forgotten. Might become a way to “control” the team and put pressure on people and check for performance of individuals.

As for micromanagement: this is not exclusively found in agile / scrum. A micromanager will find a way to abuse any method to “control” their world. If you let go, set a clear purpose and direction, start helping team members to get more autonomous you will find that performance goes beyond what micromanagement can achieve.

Scrum (as defined in the scrum guide) can work, when it doesn’t: adapt and try again.
