When I first heard of storybook I was not able to understand what exactly it did. I feel like this is similar with a lot of cool technologies built. At least for beginners or potential users, it's hard to get an idea of what something does if it's not presented clearly. Maybe just for me though.
I quit Firefox partly because I don't like them going into political activism instead of making a browser. And all that on my donations? No thanks.

I switched to a little known Chromium-based browser and feel happy every moment I'm using it.

Firefox is still okay for its dev tools though.

iptables doesn't fully work either (I was trying to setup a game proxy), and I suppose a few other things.
> When you train a neural network, it is also not really a black box. You can exactly see what it does, and inspect all weights and activations. You have a very clear logical reasoning why you end up with some decision. Only that this is maybe a huge decision rule when written out.

In some networks eg. CNN you may be able to visualize which of the inputs have the greatest impact on the output(s) but that is a far cry from understanding how the network got there in the first place.

When a network gets something consistently wrong the answer is usually "more/better training data" not a deep understanding of why the network is wrong.

This is in contrast to a simple decision tree, whose decisions can be understood by even a layperson with no statistics background. It is simple to go back and understand why the wrong decision was made.

It’s a hypothetical. It also requires infringing on the rights of a protected class. Covid vaccines are being mandated for all.
> I can accept that you may have no knowledge of the ridiculous complexity of modern medical devices

That is correct, I don't know. However, they are made more complicated and then might fail (e.g. if the power runs out).

> if you're a software developer I would expect that you realize there are computers in everything

Many things do these days, but I think that computers should not be needed in everything, even some that do.

> The "low-tech" alternative would be you going into the physician's office once a week for a checkup. I'm pretty sure most people would prefer that it upload the data.

Yes, although it shouldn't be required, in case a few people do prefer an alternative (that isn't the only one, although it is a possibility).
Interesting. Do you have any links? I've been ongoingly looking for reasonable devices that are neither manufactured in nor connected to China.
The best practice in my humble opinion is to chose your stack and stick with it.

If you start with Python, you will use Python. Major rewrites in another programming language are not worth the time, the effort, nor the risk.

You could eventually replace some parts with golang to improve the performances, but that's unlikely going to be cost effective.
Given a heavily redacted government document, how can a member of the general public verify its authenticity?

I’m not necessarily questioning the document alluded to in OP, or the conclusions it suggests. Just wondering if there’s some existing crypto signature, watermark, data hash, etc that could be relied upon to independently verify claims in any such government document.

In the age of disinformation and advanced three letter agencies it seems increasingly difficult to establish provenance and trust. I haven’t found any links to the declassified document despite this story being published verbatim by every major news outlet.
that stuff tastes awful out of the bottle!
cool but it’s not the half of the federal budget you suggested
Every `ratbag kid` is someones child, someone who's brain who has been at odds with the expectations foisted upon them their entire life, and who may be tired of failing but can't figure out how not do.

It makes me sad to read comments like this.
While I generally appreciate sarcasm, regardless of your position on vaccines it is a major stretch to compare scurvy, which is likely 100% fatal (if un-averted) to a disease that is 99% survivable.
This is very unfair to the users of these phones, who may very well have bought the devices from grey market importers Xiaomi turned too blind of an eye to.

Owners in of these phones probably invested a large portion of their earnings to purchase these devices and may need them for critical functions. I wonder if the brick message will even be displayed in the user's local language?

Most likely sanctions are to blame as other commenters suggest.

> not unlike what was done by Go Seigen and others in the Shin Fuseki era

That is the crux of it though; we're seeing the same effect as every time a new strong player arises. That doesn't scream "wow, this is like when chess engines discovered impossible new lines!".

It was probably a matter of time until some human pro started winning with the 3-3 invasion for example. It isn't like 3-3 invasions are a radical new thing, professional play just underweighted them. I've played amateurs who loved 3-3 invasions.

There is no question that the neural nets are substantially stronger than humans and that they're causing a monumental rethink of all aspects of the game. They're a big deal. But the difference is that they are bringing a very large number of innovations all at once, combined with far more accurate reading, rather than that any individual innovation is special.

It is really difficult for one sequence in Go to be special, because it is so common for a special sequence to happen.
My understanding is that certain specific services and types of apps are exempted from in-app purchases, such as those that use a subscription model (Netflix, Disney+ et. al.) or apps that are for real world purchases (think Amazon, DoorDash, etc.).

Games and similar apps are not exempted in this way and thus are required per Apple's license agreement / developer agreement to use Apple's in-app purchases mechanism.

In this case "grey market importers" and moving product into countries under global sanction. Not fully committing to sanctions on countries like North Korea both prolongs the suffering of the people on the ground and fails to meet the goals of the sanction itself.
Yea this sounds like absolute paradise to me. Some portable solar cells, get some wind power going and you can have pretty steady refrigeration, fans and evap coolers if humidity is low.

Incidentally watched this[1] just yesterday and was blown away. I keep thinking I'd rather be homeless than keep paying rent for a property I will never own. Man in the video is a genius and has worked out an amazing way to not only provide for himself but his community and neighbors as well. Made me feel so worthless. What do I do every day but go to work. I barely get to live a life with all the hours I work, and yet I have no measurable impact on humanity other than the children I helped produce.

I could die tomorrow, or tonight, and what will I have done? I would like to help us move forward somehow. Failing that I could do with living 'right' and being of value somehow. Real value.

I know so many different trades I've always dreamed of building my own home. That's not in the cards for me, but I really think I could help in a place like you described.

A Xiaomi phone is super duper connected to China no matter where it's manufactured.

"No link whatsoever" is quite likely not accurate, after all they are licensing the brand, the technology and probably the firmware from the parent entity.
trained professional my ass. I have a disability, and I tell you what: Even the people "specialized" in certain disabilities usually have no idea what the fuck they are talking about. But they get good pay and are being treated like specialists by those which have even less of an idea... Outsiders usually have absolutely no idea whats going on.
Doesn't that mean you pay the rent for it then?
> Not trying to pick on your post or anything just thought it is a good example to say that it's maybe not as easy as it may seem to decide who gets admitted/committed, and the dichotomy in this thread shows that point.

Of course the topic of involuntary committal and people’s rights and prevention of abuse is extremely difficult, and that is why the pendulum swings back and forth. I just think it might be at or nearing the other end of the swing.

Ask Meng Wanzhou
Golang uses := to represent declaration and simultaneous assignment to at least one new variable. = only works if the LHS variables have already been declared. If you use :=, at least one of the variables on the LHS has to be new. So the following snippet would be an error:

a := 3
...
a := 4

This is valid:

a := 3
...
a = 4

As is this:

a := 3
...
a, b := 4, 2

And this is an error again:

a := 3
b := 4
a, b := 1, 2

Since neither a nor b are new variables.
Is that statement provably true for the previously infected?

(Hint: it would be more dangerous to get a shot if you’ve already had it than to not, but it won’t make Fauxi & friends any money if you don’t. Gee, I wonder why they don’t advertise that.)
I get that someone is buying someone else's stock but your comment seems to ignore the basic fact that even though there might be a limited amount of stock to buy or sell, there is an unlimited amount of potential transactions, which could result in an increase or decrease of the flow of money in and out of the market.

Also, as another commenter mentioned you omit IPOS, SPACS etc...
Structure your affairs correctly so you do not become a taxpayer (federal income tax) and no need to file. Definitely do not file, as they use the signed form against you and they call it frivolous and add penalties.

With all due respect, you have no idea what you're talking about, and you're asking us to believe things that cannot possibly be true.

Some cultures remained prehistoric much later than others. Here's some evidence from one of them:

> what information we do have tells us that [Australian] Aboriginal people were close observers of planets and their motions, noting the relative brightness of the planets, their motions along the ecliptic, retrograde motion, the relationship between Venus and its proximity to the Sun, Venus’ connection to the Sun through zodiacal light, and the synodic cycle of Venus, particularly as it transitions from the Evening Star to the Morning Star.

> Indigenous cultures around the world, particularly the many hundreds that exist in Australia, maintain complex astronomical knowledge systems that link the positions and motions of celestial objects and to navigation, calendars, subsistence, and social applications

> The Sun, Moon, and visible planets (Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn) were known to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. These cultures paid careful attention to the motions of solar system bodies through careful observation, which was recorded and passed to successive generations through oral tradition and material culture. Aboriginal and Islander people distinguished planets from the background stars, noted their changing positions in the sky, their changing positions relative to each other, their proximity to each other along the zodiac of the ecliptic, and their dynamic relationship to the Sun and Moon.

( https://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/1806/1806.02462.pdf )

All cultures observe the sky closely, and all of them identify the planets, which are one of the most interesting -- and obvious -- phenomena in the sky.

Show me the Sumerian astronomical records that describe Jupiter as being two different objects.
And again, you throw out the baby with the bathwater and go back to Big Google that does worse on every privacy-related issue by a mile.

Like, no matter what, telemetry is useful to the product, and defaults matter. Like the infamous “the opt-ot organ donor vs opt-in countries have a staggering difference of 90% difference”. Should firefox throw away 90% of its userbase’s useful telemetry, most of who would have no problem with providing it?
I picked up my wife yesterday after a 72 hour hold at an in-patient center. I’m so glad that she legally had to be there. She tried to commit suicide Sunday night and spent Monday and Tuesday in the ER. It’s been a horrible week for all of us.

The behavioral health place she was at was not perfect, but she would not be where she is right now if it weren’t for her having to be there.

For years I have told myself that if I somehow become wealthy, I will spend my time and money improving mental health resources in my area. After hearing her stories about the place she was at (one of a couple hundred owned by a public company), I wish I had the resources to start a place that did everything right.

I’m sorry you had a bad experience. It’s really messed up.
The .NET Framework is better than what was available in Delphi at the time (at least out of the box) but the visual designer in Visual C# and WinForms in general was and still is (since it has been largely abandoned) way behind Delphi or Lazarus.
Highlighting also exists to increase edit-ability.

Look at the authors own example, if you want to change the number of iterations in the loop or edit a type, you can do that practically instantly. Does this come at the cost of readability? Perhaps. This is also probably subjective and for the author the cost is apparently too great.
The P-Word
I think so too. But in that case its declining userbase is also a concern. A tiny competitor isn't going to stave off antitrust action. For that there must be substantial competition.

I wonder if they'll continue bothering with the deal when Edge continues to grow. Sure, Edge is just a reskin of chromium but it's run by a different company so that'll be most likely enough for market regulators.
Are you thinking of another site?

Groklaw, to my knowledge (and a quick check of various sources agrees) largely wound down after the SCO trial was done and dusted and was only temporarily handed over to another editor after the fact, finally shutting down in 2013.

The site appears to still be up, if you have specifics you're thinking of you'd point at.
I take the cynical view that intelligence agencies are simply untrustworthy.

Why trust arms of the government that manipulate, spy, and deceive as their raison d'être? How can you ever be sure they’re actually authentic?
Yeah, I really hope more people host their own static boring sites.
Ask HN: C programmers, how do you manage header files?
One of the hassles of C/C++ programming is maintaining header files; including the right ones to resolve missing symbols, keeping declarations and definitions in sync, preventing circular dependencies with pragmas or include guards, etc.

In the past on large codebases I've used IDE plugins - Visual Assist X [1] lets you change function signatures, create declarations from definitions and vise versa, and add the include for a missing symbol. I'm no longer using Visual Studio proper though for C stuff so that's no longer available to me.

I recently stumbled on makeheaders [2] by sqlite's creator, used for the fossil version control codebase - it let's you write just the C files, and generates corresponding header files during build, with help from some macro keywords. Seems like a promising approach.

Curious what other solutions people have used to eliminate the unnecessary busywork of header files?

I don’t see Medjed on the list.

They belong to different periods, but sometimes gods just merge into another, i.e. one becomes "an aspect" of another.

Some in the list are not even different gods, just different names of the same God, and some are "recent" synchretic gods, when Greek/Roman ones merged with previous ones.

Fascinating stuff!
There's a definite bias against people who are outside of a company's area. It might just be that they look at and hire from the local candidate pool first, or it might be something else.

If you live in the middle of nowhere it is very hard to get a job.

Per a (now very old) HN thread there also seems to be a bias against rural candidates.
Google needs firefox just as much as firefox needing google. Don’t see conteo in everything. Firefox is the only thing stopping google from some insane monopoly/anti-comp lawsuits. It is in their best interest for firefox to continue to exist.

Participation in the culture war, weaponizing social media, and politicizing every space they pollute. There is no space for science, art, culture, day to day experience, or just fun and joy when they try to recruit every social media user and their content into their cause.

I'm saying this even if I actually do agree with their cause.

> Try applying to smaller companies. Smaller companies aren't going to land the candidate from a top 10 school who already interned at multiple Fortune 500 companies. But small shops need to hire talent too. They're digging deeper and they have to read the resumes more closely. There isn't much of an HR department, and the hiring manager might be sifting through the raw resumes themselves.

This describes my situation when I'm hiring entry-level developers: I, the hiring manager, am reading each application that comes in. However, I think this is probably more true for smaller companies that are not venture-backed; venture-backed companies probably have enough funding to hire senior developers (and are probably more rushed to do so).

For the OP: I'm not hiring developers at the moment, but if you'd like to send me your resume (you can reach me through my profile), I can offer some feedback.
There was also a case in Ireland where the biological mother in a gay couple died and her partner wasn't allowed to keep their child. It was very sad. Not sure if this applied to the US too though.

It was in the discussion around the referendum on gay marriage which passed.
The horse/donkey pairing is a poetic device; there's no intended technical distinction between the two. If you're familiar with satyrs in Roman mythology, it's sort of like a poetic comparison to them, but using terms familiar to the audience at the time.

The point of the passage is to call out Israel's spiritual lewdness and adultery in going after idols instead of worshipping the God who had made a covenant of faithfulness with them.
I'm not a comics expert but the marvel universe incorporated Egyptian gods as the heliopolitans, and Apocalypse was an ancient Egyptian too.

So, your idea seems plausible in some parallel earth-xyz :)
But humans are also conceptually mirrors. For example, none of the words you are using are ones you thought up; they mostly date back to pre-Shakespearian times. Nor is the grammar you're using, which you've copied off other people. And the arguments you are using have concepts like intelligence or the mathematics of neural nets which aren't things that you came up with either; they are being mirrored off others.

And yet we'd all agree you are thinking, despite just being a mirror with very little room to add anything new. So if you want to argue that a neural net is a mirror, that does not in any way disqualify it from considering something. The part of human reasoning that isn't a mirror of other ideas is small to the point where it might not actually exist.
I unfollow everyone, absolutely everyone on facebook. I do it systematically whenever somebody sends a friend request.

I don’t understand what is your “surprise”, anyway yes here in Italy the pasta is cheaper, but if the price will rise, it should be about 0,20-0,40€/kg. There’re a lot of articles about this also in Italy, in example:

"I know that Lidl has already increased the price of pasta by 10 cents - he adds - and I expect that well before Christmas everyone will expect increases between 15 and 20 cents per package".

https://www.leggo.it/alimentazione/news/pasta_allarme_grano_...

So, it will be noticeable but not impossible to handle, there’re a lot of prices increase in 2021, as I said, pasta is the one we (Italian) care less fortunately because it’s a small increase.
