My interpretation of the intended meaning[1] of the author was to attempt to reproduce ~conditions conducive to producing this sort of effect.

If you reconsider the idea under this reframing, does it seem like more of a reasonable, "maybe worth a try"-class idea?

The headline is one of the worse headlines i have seen from Reuters in quite some time.

Also, short COVID risk is that a new concept ?
To be fair to SpaceX, all (two) full flow staged combustion cycle engines prior to Raptor were test articles that literally never left the ground.

The Raptor family is a major, major innovation.
I recently bought a simple TV from SwedX [0]. Pretty happy with it so far. Seems to be simple enough. No "apps", no network connectivity, simple remote and simple menus. Quite quick to turn on.

I didn't go for an extremely high-end display, but I wouldn't have done that anyway. They seem to be out of stock of a lot of their "4K" models, but they are priced at 600-1000€.

Ships from Sweden, so should be possible for a lot of Europe.

No, its run by machine learning systems. Not AI

I feel like those people correcting everyone about crypto
Please go ahead and explain. I'm genuinely curious. The best defend I've heard is "my parents generation were farmers but now living in a nice apartment thanks to CCP so we are thankful for what they did..."
Ok what do you want to start with? It's a big topic.
The Turing test hasn't been relevant in years. And what's a "True AI" if you're also implying that it's not able to self-improve?

Not sure about this comment, Jim.
Not sure.

But I've always had the impression Kickstarter was about small business entrepreneurs/solopreneurs unable or unwilling to raise capital through traditional means.

Per the KS Mission Statement, "It’s where creators share new visions for creative work with the communities that will come together to fund them."

It just seems unusual to me that a multi-billion dollar global corporation would decide after 60+ years to go back to building high-quality versions of their products, perhaps considering it to be a "new vision for creative work," not really need a community to come together to fund it, and not have KS pause to think about whether it fits with their mission.
Traditionally in jazz, the bassist provides the pulse, and the drummer provides color. This isn't true in all genres. And in a bigger band, the rhythm section (piano, bass, drums, guitar) has to function as a cohesive unit.

Although, optimally, the tempo just seems to sustain itself, a condition that's only met by the best players. Playing bass alongside a drummer with great time is certainly a better experience, and there are drummers with better time than me. Time is one of those things that's a lifelong pursuit, not something that is ever "good enough." Likewise intonation.

Using Jamulus, it seems to work best when the tempo is driven by instruments that can be isolated from the feed coming from the headphones, so for instance electric bass works better than double bass, though they both function as "bass."
Side note: if you are curious where the term "traffic light coalition" comes from: the traditional symbolic colors for social democrats, liberals and the green party are red, yellow and green respectively[0]. It is also a term that is less unwieldy to say in German ("Ampel" = traffic light) than it is in English. Referring to combinations of colors is a common way of describing coalitions of political parties here.

The names Kenya-coalition (black, red, green = conservatives, social democrats and greens) and Jamaica-coalition [1](black, yellow, green = conservatives, liberals and green) after the colors of the countries' flags are also commonly used. It might sound silly at first but it's a way of concisely describing combinations of parties without having to come up with new names all the time.

The whole story is bs.
She took some time of from social media after ending a complicated relationship and posting something she really shouldn't have.

Who had the right to declare her missing in the first place? Which meetings didn't she show up for? Which family members couldn't contact her?

Now that they've decided that she was missing the anti-china crowd are in the very convenient situation where they can discard everything they don't like.

She makes a statement to Chinese news? Fake. Forced. Doesn't sound right.

She posts pictures on wechat? Staged, deep-fake, oh and is that a Winnie the Pooh picture in the background? Clearly a cry for help!

She appears on video? They have a gun to her head! They are acting weird!

She talks to the IOC? Everyone knows China controls the IOC!

The only thing they will accept if she denounces Xi Jinping as the literal antichrist.
If someone says "Hey, let's find a time to chat", would you refer this person to your PA to schedule a call? I hope not, and just like normal people you would look at your calendar and find time slot right away.
This is not a use case for Calendly. It is good for asynchronous conversations.

Breaking the conversation at the point, where you are being offered to pick a convenient time looks like a good question for AITA on Reddit.
Using negative adjectives is not the only way to be negative.
Thanks. From Portuguese article above

"Access to care homes, health establishments and major cultural or sporting events requires the presentation of a negative test for the detection of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, even for people vaccinated against covid-19"
It's all perspective.
> How is raising somebody else's taxes going to fix that?

Just raise the taxes on peoples 3’rd or 4th home. It will definitely screw over a lot of real estate investors and banks, but that’s sort of the deal with investment risk, and after more than a decade of state guaranteed return on this investments it’s about time for and quite fair with a state guaranteed shakedown.

This will cause the market to drop, and the unfortunate ones who overspent on their primary recode are will have a big loss, which you help reduce through tax breaks for people owning no more than one home.
Technology Connections has a Patreon, mentioned at the end of every video.
One warning is they deliberately chose 3 wheels to qualify as motorcycle and thus lower requirements (probably in interests of weight and to allow more innovative technologies - I remember design #1 had issues with wanting to use cameras instead of mirrors for more streamlining, but bikes had to have mirrors too, at least at the time).

But, yeah, overall the design seems good and certainly far better than a typical 3 wheel motorbike.
Got it. Thanks for correcting me!
Ethereum was the first cryptocurrency that does decentralized general purpose computation aka smart contracts.

Filecoin decentralizes storage.

Avalanche has the first Byzantine consensus mechanism (within a reasonable bound, read the paper) that does not rely on proof of work aka energy wasting.

If these neither excite you nor stand out from forks of other coins (Litecoin is Bitcoin with a different hashing function, Tron is just marketing, Cardano is centralized), then yes, you are right, you are at a casino.
>I think I heard laowhy86 argue that they might allow it to consume the news cycle, to distract from something else.

I don't get how the method by which I learned of this is relevant to the reality of the situation. It's the WTA that's not satisfied with the "proof" offered for Peng Shuai's safety.

And I'm not pretending anything. I never even mentioned where I learned of this. You seem very defensive.
I recently read that that’s a myth, unfortunately.
Can you explain why a comment like this is posted here?

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29344355
I linked the that article, because you are going from USD to JPY. Which falls under IRS regulations... The cap should be 10.000 $ and is the cap you'll have without extra identification information. As such, the article is totally relevant. As you noticed by now, you can use Swift to transfer more than your mentioned amount ( which would be till 10 k. $ without extra verification)

Larger transfers are cheaper... ( calculator: https://wise.com/gb/pricing/borderless-convert )

Forex conversion is not exactly how Wise works. They have balances in multiple currencies and trade between that mostly...

Ugh...
Moreover, you might think that Lisp notation would improve it, but CS papers using S-expressions are just as incomprehensible, even to a seasoned Lisp programmer.

Math notations are two-dimensional and don't suffer very badly from structural ambiguities, so that actually fixes almost nothing.

The problem in unfamiliar math notations is rarely the chunking of which clump is a child of which clump.

E.g say that some paper uses, say, angle brackets, with some deep meaning that you can learn about if you recurse three levels down in the list of references.

I'm not confused that in <Ap>, the Ap thing is a child of the angle brackets; and calling it (frob (A p)) doesn't help much in this regard.

However, at least you can search literature for the word frob more easily than for angle brackets.
> It's not deliberately designed to keep people out,

It looks that way, to many people, even in this thread.

> why don't they change the syntax to make it more readable?

They do, actually. Quite often at that. It's called releasing new version.

> Look! Computer programs are easy and intuitive and everyone can understand them, even without training! Make math like that!

No. Computer code is as far from intuitive as it can be. Nobody says otherwise. So you don't need to do anything to get there, the notation's good on that front (meaning: completely non-intuitive).

That's where the IDEs come in. And debuggers. And other tools. Lots of tools. They really help. You could use them, because the IDEs-for-math already exist. In college I had exactly one semester to familiarize myself with one of them, and it was never mentioned again until graduation.

> Do you really believe that math notation is deliberately designed to make it hard for people untrained in math to learn how to use it?

Why, do you believe it's not possible for it to be that way? See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagoras#Prohibitions_and_re...

> Do you really believe that no one has tried to make it more accessible?

Why did they fail? (If they didn't - where's the exponential growth of first years' mathematicians in training)

> Do you really believe you know more about why math notation is what it is than mathematicians and trained mathematics educators do?

I'm 100% not interested in why it is like this, it's not my problem, so I really wouldn't know. Would you be interested in how at some point you had to write `class X(object):` and that it later changed to simply `class X:`? Would you go hunt on the mailing list to see who exactly came up with the idea? Or why they thought it would be better that way? Would you be interested in that if you just had to write a 10-lines of Python, to scrape some web site?
People think Chinese propaganda is clever and insidious but in truth Chinese propaganda is extremely clumsy to the point of being essentially harmless in the west.

Some cool stuff I had no idea exists! But I can't see anything I feel like picking up, I do like to keep it simple. I switched to Emacs after something like six years as a vim user, primarily for the more beginner friendly key bindings so my coworkers wouldn't get _too_ freaked out. Many of the navigation shortcuts work in most shells and even all text fields in macOS out of the box too!

I did implement all kinds of funky customisations at first, but in the last years I stuck mostly to what comes with Emacs, and customize over writing Elisp. I do some work in IntelliJ and Xcode out of necessity, but there's nothing quite as productive for me as vanilla Emacs and ansi-term. It's all just text - and mastering how to deal with text doesn't take that long, and is fairly universal.

One of my favourite and most trivial habits is to use forward/backward search extensively for navigating around a file.
I agree. ALl AMD / Qualcomm have to do is guarantee a sufficiently sized order, and that's equivalent to the "Apple buys a production line".

And uh yeah: AMD and Qualcomm do have the order sizes to do that.
Interesting. What if I write an autobiography? Isn't it also I the author as a character in my own book? Do you believe that if a photograph is taken of you it can't be "you" in the photograph, since an image cannot really capture the essence of who "you" are? If so, I think that's missing the point of what both literature and photographs are trying to convey.

I think I'm inclined to disagree. What I suspect you're saying is that a book cannot possibly capture your entire being - the chemical bonds in your DNA for example, or the patterns of your neural pathways. But that isn't really what "being in a book means. Mark Twain is both an author and a character in his own books, for example.
Adding to the list of what's already been said:

1. Passwords / Secrets management. Ensure there are no shared accounts in use, no credentials or passwords on the company wiki. Implement adoption of a password manager (LastPass if commercial, BitWarden if you can selfhost) for team and individual secrets.

2. Identify all public-facing endpoints and do an initial once over on the software that's backing them and any vulnerabilities (especially if they have anything Atlassian in their stack).
A machine, or set of machines, which can design and build all parts of themselves, with modifications to maximize a goal.

While we have machines that can assist building themselves (eg. computers are used to design and make computer chips), we will see some progress. But we won't see explosive progress till the entire chain is automated, including the decisions about what to build next.
Presumably there’s a stage between achieving sentience, and realizing the importance of protecting power sources.

Yeah I was confused when I opened up the link as well. This is basically a meta-bug complaining about why the original bug was closed: https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Desktop/issues/4461

But as the other comments here point out, it's a perfectly reasonable response from Signal's part.
The ROCm and AMDGPU PRO stacks were unified with ROCm 4.5 and AMDGPU 21.40. I would expect Steam to work. That was just a couple weeks ago, but have you tried it out?
Expo build's Final Year
I believe scenario #3 would be as follows:

1. gov.uk’s DNS server used to point charts.dft.gov.uk to something legitimate
2. Someone hacked gov.uk’s DNS server, and changed this one specific domain to CNAME charts.dft.gov.uk.s3-website-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com
3. That same someone set up their porn thing at AWS in a bucket that maps to charts.dft.gov.uk.s3-website-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com
Good to know. We have a Benq and an Epson which are both totally dumb and responsive. Neither has a tuner, we use an Apple TV. Not too surprised that a company that makes smart TVs also tries to shoehorn some of that crap into their projectors.

Not here on HN.

I was prompted to post on this thread after reading comment after comment about failures.
Your jams are beautiful! Thanks for sharing! I can't believe this is actually possible at this quality.
Here are some early signs of the anti-singularity:

+ Intelligence is decreasing worldwide, due to both accumulation of mutations detrimental to intelligence (dysgenics) and differential fertility (less intelligent people having on average the most children)

+ Modern society dominated by cancerous/parasitic bureaucracies (inefficiency generators)

+ Degradation of the definition of genius and societies hostile to genius

+ Dwindling number of genius individuals

+ Consequently, massive decrease in the number of ground-breaking inventions and scientific breakthroughs

As intelligence continues to decline, growth will reverse into decline and inefficiency, as the ability of people to sustain, repair, and maintain, the highly technical, specialized and coordinated world civilization will be lost.

Collapse and new dark age.
This sounds like backpacking... which you can do for way less than $30k. A nicely equipped pack from scratch can be had for less than $1k. Add in a little more for food, airfare, and any accomodations before and after, and you can do a trip like this for a couple thousand dollars max.

Of course prior wilderness experience is also essential, so I guess some people will want to spend extra for a special forces guide.
Similar to the Richard Stallman story, most of the reporting in mainstream media on this topic is simply "fake" news designed to generate outrage.

I was actually looking for something like this not long ago. Was fed up I could find something easy like this seems to be. I actually went the route of developing micro swiftui app, but the learning curve was big for something so small.
I haven't written PHP since the 5.0 release but its amazing to see how it has grown over the years. Seems to have picked up a few nice things and is still enjoying usage even today.
Why is activity the measure of product quality? If I write something that works great and needs few updates is it inferior to something that’s broken and gets commits every day?

This is just a terrible metric of software quality that became standard without anyone discussing why.

To me, this really shows the sad direction smart appliances have gone in. I would love to see that smart appliances would have continued to evolve in this direction. I don't like the current state of smart appliances, but going back to the absolute basic seems like an over-reaction to me.
That's a funny thing to say, considering those took inspiration from other languages.
The bigger issue is that historians and sociologists tend to complain each time he makes sweeping claims about their area of expertise.

Both my own site (on a Pi behind the couch) and the gov site were subjected to the hug of death. I've moved thecrow.uk onto a VPS for now and it's back up. Hurray!

I totally agree. I think that many mathematical papers aren't explained as well as they can be. My advisor was pretty adamant that papers should not be written in some proof-chasing style like you describe and that the author should clearly include the arguments they need (citing those authors they might have learned it from) unless those arguments are truly standard. No "using a method similar to [author] in Lemma 5 of [some paper]" and instead just including it in your paper and making sure if fits in well.

That is just an example of bad exposition in my opinion. It's also not technically "unclear" in any notational sense so it's a bit of an aside from this argument. But I agree with you 100% that it is bad bad bad. This is a perfect example of why arguments like "does this proof make coq happy" totally misses the point.
I recently started to write down a couple of notes after talking to people. It sure feels a little weird, like a sketchy salesman, but it might come in handy to read these before engaging in conversation with a person in the future. Especially when you have multiple circles where you meet many people occasionally.
Wedge Products, Dot Products, Scalars, and Norms
One metric will be the interfacing of computing hardware with biological systems. Computing hardware is still way too massive in size. A human red blood cell is discocyte shape, approximately 7.5 to 8.7 μm in diameter and 1.7 to 2.2 μm in thickness. By comparison, the current state of the art in microcomputing was heralded more than 2 years ago when the University of Michigan announced its engineers produced a computer that is 0.3 mm x 0.3 mm - or 300 μm x 300 μm. Getting close but still 2 orders of magnitude too large to go to the Apple Store to drink a bottle of iFluid containing millions of networked microcomputers that can be transported in our circulatory system to interface directly with the nervous system. Meanwhile we have to work with neural implants.
I understand your point but I think it's a bit of an unfair take. If you want good depth in your reviews there are a lot of smaller tech youtubers that do deeper analysis, but the issue is that most people simply won't watch a 45 minutes review of the Intel i7-12700k that actually goes in depth. On top of that financially they are incentivized to make ~15 minutes videos because the 45 minutes one cost a lot more to make and brings in a similar amount.

> They spend more time polishing the video, studio neatness and thumbnails than informing the public.

To be clear I completely agree with you, but I think it's mostly because the public (or a majority of the public) simply don't care about being informed.
Could the Blackfoot Wisdom That Inspired Maslow Guide Us Now?
Covid is a pretty good example where initially people were aware of it but weren’t taking it too seriously.

It’s also not clear what you mean by singularity but I’ll assume it’s the advent of intelligence in machines.

I think a big one is object recognition. We’ve come a long ways but there’s still a deep lack of understanding about the world in the ways humans normally see it.

When you can install a GitHub repository that has the ability to detect most objects in the world and you can install it on a Roomba so it doesn’t randomly bump into things anymore, that’ll be a pretty good sign.

Or perhaps in this case, an OpenAI api.
