Winamp was great in 2000s ... Today Deadbeef works exceptionally great on UNIX systems. There is also Sayonara or VLC ... and tons of other usable players.

Not sure what happens on Windows systems nowadays but I always include Winamp 2.95 as part of the Windows installation that I do for family/buddies ... I just change the default 'ugly as fuck' theme to something usable and nice appealing :)
They didn't. The scaling path is well known : Optimizations, Input Endorsers, Hydra.
Great.
Now resign Twitter.
I agree with you

> Substitute X for Y

I would read this as saying "use X instead of Y". In contrast, I would use this wording for the opposite intention:

> Substitute Y with X

This discussion also adds support to the side that "substitute X for Y" is the correct terminology: https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/23360/substitute...

> This is probably the source of the confusion you noticed:
> “Substitute…for…”—first replaces second.
> “Substitute…with…”—second replaces first.

> The preposition controls the meaning. "Substitute X for Y" means what you think it does: the X will replace Y.
> "Substitute X with Y", however, reverses the meaning: Y will replace X.

> The traditional construction is like this:
> The mechanic had to substitute a generic steering wheel for the original Bentley wheel.
> The substitute is the thing you substitute; the original is what you substitute it for. It is perhaps easier to remember if you know the origin of the construction. The word substituo means "to place under, to substitute" in classical Latin. From statuo, "to place, to cause to stand", and sub-, "under". The prefix sub- is used in a way similar to supplant, suppose, the latter meaning "to take a theory in place of a fact" (we suppose something because we don't have the facts).
> It is also possible to mention only the substitute:
> The recipe said she needed "bacon". She hated bacon. She decided to substitute parma ham.
> Because some people have forgotten how to use the construction, probably caused in part by contamination with replace, you will sometimes see it used in various other ways; however, because confusion is quick to ensue, style guides recommend that you use it like this.

I would agree that there is debate, and that your suggestion is the standard (edited as I misread your and the original commenter's sides of the debate)
As far as I know jetbrains did start to write a wayland backend for sway. But it is most probably a project with very low priority.
Imagine that you have three friends helping you with a task. You might give them these instructions:

Jack, clean the shelves.
Helen, sort the reports.
Lucy, turn on the printer.

You can see that the receiver of each message is the first thing in each line while the message follows it. That is the syntax of imperative expressions in English.

If your name is Kevin and you are the one sending on the messages, where is "Kevin" in the above text? And you sent three messages and yet there is not a single "send" command to be seen.

Here is a less trivial example:

Jack hire a carpenter build cabinet store reports.

This is not valid English, but is a valid Smalltalk-72 expression. A variation which would have the same result is:

((Jack hire a carpenter) build cabinet) store reports.

The first message requests that Jack hire a carpenter. The result of the message is a carpenter who is not named by us, but which we can tell to build a cabinet. The result of this second message is a new cabinet, which we did not name either but which can be asked to store the reports.

So Smalltalk got its syntax from English and that inspired OOP languages that followed.
"is it in tls 1.3? ok good, ship it"
I don't think it is insanity. It's part of the complexity inherent to managing state with auto high beams. My Toyota worked differently but had other complexities. I just looked up a 2021 Legacy manual and it sounds like Subaru High Beam Assist works about the same way as my Toyota did.

The annoying thing about that design is, if I want to turn my high beams on manually, and the car decides that a street light in the distance is a vehicle, it will ignore my request to turn on my high beams when I push the stick forward. I then also have to set my primary headlights to manual mode in order to override the car. This requires turning the knob at the end of the stalk which is not backlit and therefore not legible while driving at night. This is one area where I like the Honda design better: I can always turn my high beams with one operation.

I think the page count is relevant because it is indicative of complexity and is likely inversely related to the number of people who read it.

While I am sure you probably do understand the controls on your vehicle -- I think it is important to note that the people driving around with lights in an improper state at night are also under the impression that they understand their vehicle's controls. They're just mistaken.

I personally wish licensing and enforcement was more stringent. But this is not politically possible in the US.
That's exactly what they do.
As another comment stated, short term and long term goals need to be balanced. Unfortunately, the margins in ag (USA) are razor thin, so it is difficult (not impossible) to adapt sustainable practices while maintaining top yields.

Many sustainable practices require a learning curve and there is a high risk of losing yield if not done correctly.

I think many farmers and landowners _want_ to be sustainable, but the current state of economics makes it challenging except for the top x% of producers.

There's nothing wrong with someone posting their ideas on a website. This forum is an internet watercooler, not an academic journal. Someone not being a specialist is no reason to shut down conversation.
Silicon photonics (microchip lasers and particle accelerators) is an active area of research that has had some promising improvements lately.

Research like this is likely to result in a laser miniaturization breakthrough like that of MEMs sensors, which will have big impacts if the money and energy cost of a putting a laser on a device drops to near zero.

So you're saying that an exponential time complexity algorithm with N of every atom in the universe will complete before the heat death of the other universe that the simulation is taking place in? Sorry, not plausible.
Does this sound familiar? You have an amazing product or service, but hardly anybody outside your immediate network knows about it? This was exactly the problem faced by our client.
Before our client, SteelCon, partnered up with the team at Predictable Growth, they were struggling to grow outside of their immediate, local network and relied on referrals.

Then, in less than 4 weeks of launching their business development campaign, we created a sales pipeline worth well over $10,000,000 by converting 2% of prospects we reached out to into sales appointments on the calendar.

Ask HN: Do you understand what a product with this description does for you?
The standard is a fair bit higher now in airplane safety than it was. The 787 issues make you realize this (shims / flatness stuff etc). Go back 50 years this wouldn't have gotten a second look in most cases (and yes, there were more fatalities).
It's been many years, so this is old data, but I purchased a half dozen or so Sceptre flat panel monitors for an office. Every one of them stopped working after about two years. I don't remember for sure, but they may have been LCDs with fluorescent backlights, so the fluorescents could have simply failed.

I've always had a poor opinion of Sceptre from this, but again, it could just be an out of date prejudice.
He is/was CEO of two companies, but seems more interested in what's going on at one more than the other. Makes sense. Get out of the way of the people focused on the mission.
There’s a genuine question as to whether someone with 240 hours should be holding the yoke of a jet airliner. For me, that answer is “hell no!” as we saw in Colgan 3407 (and others) which led to the FAA 1500-hour minimum for an ATP.

At 240 hours, I couldn’t be trusted with a Bonanza.
Yes, will works.
Of course XP is no guarantee for success. Nothing is. For one, XP does not control the business environment of your project.

Such as the company you are working for getting acquired in one of the more disastrous mergers of the outgoing 20th century.

(And yes, disagreement and, er, "miscommunication" about whether this was a merger or an acquisition was just the start of it).

If you expect your programming methodology to fix that problem...good luck!
It's strange how HN seems to think that by religiously disagreeing with any progress which is labeled "ML progress" they are somehow displaying their technical knowledge.
I don't think this is really useful, and the arguments often have wrong assumptions baked within them.
It would be nice to see this pseudo-intellectualism quieted with a more appropriate response to these advancements.
For example, I would imagine that there would be a similar response of collective groan for the paper on pagerank so many years ago, but this has clearly provided utility today.
Why is it so hard for us to recognize that even small adjustments to algorithms can yeild utility, and this property extends to ML as well?

As someone mentioned above, language models for embedding generation has improved dramatically with these newer MLM/GPT techniques, and even with improvement to F-score/auc/etc. for one use case can generate enormous utility.

Nay-saying really doesn't make you look intelligent.
Really cool, but the article could show a picture of the actual laser light (maybe it's not visible light?)
Also maybe I'm mistaken, but don't most modern cars have a built in modem for sending telemetry to the manufacturer as well?
I could write it in Python, or Java, or C#, and it would run everywhere that those environments run.
What for things? what for people? Who are you? Why do build stuff?

Both palms and grasses are monocots (only one seed leaf as opposed to two and parallel veins as opposed to the type of veins you might see on an oak leaf).

Palms are not members of the grass family (Poaceae) though.
Looks like it will be illegal to wear that shirt with the Obama flower image if there is an AI face recognition system installed over the highway though.
I see OpenTelemetry as an application of the same idea pushed by Google via the k8s revolution.

Create a great vendor-agnostic open source tech. Get everyone riled up about the dangers of vendor-locking solutions. Use the new tech to carve yourself a piece of the market from the current incumbent.

It is pretty great and all, but sometimes it is easier to build your app with a simple vendor-locked tech than a super generic agnostic technology.
In general, very little is ever enough to completely prevent some sort of determined targeted attack, especially if the attacker doesn't care whether they're caught or not.
Im like the idea but simply record the audio
in audio format if that the way you want to consume it and then speech to text it, feel more practical and not need a whole keyboard, in the car, you still use a button to the point(portable audio recorder), ghat what the writer of dune(if Don't remember wrong)does for his novels
Would love to see some examples of this please :-)
A few years ago in Sydney Australia there was a couple of cops catching jaywalkers at a traffic light. My friend warned passengers at the other side about them, and then the cops came up to her and told her to move along because she was "obstructing justice".
Activitypub is a pretty dated standard thats really not super easy to work with or adapt to a more open network. Its an XML based protocol that bakes in really difficult to use notions of identity and doesn't address the problem of data ownership in a meaningful way. From what I've been seeing, the bluesky team has been working closely with the activitypub developers on figuring out 'what comes next'.
I wonder when home security setups will start including a Faraday cage, at least for certain rooms or areas.

I remember spending a summer on the Twitter campus and the whole time I was wondering - why the heck does Twitter need all these employees (5500 as of last count [0])? The functionality hasn't budged much in years. I get the need for IT ops to keep stuff running (especially since failwhale days). But honestly, I never got why Twitter couldn't do with 1/10 the staff they have / had. I hope this great resignation wave continues across the company.

Yep it should work great. If you have the expertise and inclination to set up port forwarding and dyndns, you'll get better performance with that, but IMO tunneling is the best solution for self-hosting for most people until IPv6 takes over.
There are many Android phones on the market with a big battery and fast charging.

Not really. Pumped lasers are the norm for quite a few materials that are hard to use as primary light source, but as a secondary lightsource they are plenty useful.

Note that lots of other lasers are pumped as well, for instance, some lasers were originally pumped by flashing Xenon light from spiral wound flash tubes into Ruby crystal rods grown at great expense to get the gas to emit coherent light. The energy efficiency is important so that you don't end up overheating your secondary laser but the principle has plenty of uses and isn't even restricted to using light as the starting point.

One possible way to use this is to use a somewhat higher power laser to illuminate a substrate at right angles to the desired outputs, which would allow for a hybrid where only the primary is made with exotic materials and the remainder can be made in Silicon. Right now every laser output needs to be on a physically different die than the Silicon based circuitry that drives it, this technique could do away with that intermediary step substantially reducing the costs of certain telecommunications devices.

Finally, once something has been pushed to lase it usually doesn't take very long before improvements are made that allow it to do so cheaper, faster or independent of the original light source, it is that first step that is the really hard one.

One joke I heard from someone who is deep inside laser research is that when all is said and done there are probably not a whole lot of substances that can't be made to emit coherent light, the trick is to find out how to do it in the first place, and then to do it repeatedly and affordably.
It matters if your a MSFT shareholder and are wondering if you should “diversify” too.
Aren’t solar panels made from sand/silicone? Wouldn’t a solar run world look like a place where our sand deserts are instead covered in panels. You don’t even need that many (in space) to power the whole planet.

Not sure about lithium, but I suspect it’s not terrible as we don’t need that much.
And so does the ability to use IR or some other remote control mechanism.

A “dumb tv” would just be a monitor with a remote to control power and volume.
"the problem is unsolvable nothing can be done" is obviously false, because things were not always this divisive. Of course it's people's fault that twitter is awful, but twitter isn't in charge of people, it's in charge of twitter. Investors won't take "not our problem" as an answer here.
Modern Sony Bravia TV’s ask whether you want a “Basic TV” or a “Google TV” when you first set them up.
I've been using the raspberry pi's since the original release as experimental low power desktop replacements.

I don't have a pi400 but I have a 8GB Pi4 clocked to 2.1ghz as a secondary desktop. Emulators, DosBox, lite web browsing, and some gaming with friends (Quake 3 LAN parties). The Pi400 should be able to clock a little higher IIRC.

For Quake 3: I would recommend the same settings I also use when loading it up on a Pinebook Pro

DBUS_FATAL_WARNINGS=0 ./ioquake3.aarch64 +set cl_renderer opengl1 +set r_mode -1 +set r_customwidth 1280 +set r_customheight 720 +set r_fullscreen 1 +set r_overbrightbits 0

Additionally in the game I have simple items turned on and various other personal tweaks to really turn things down.

Alternatively you could try the experimental vulkan build stuff but I haven't messed with it at all.
Cool! I currently do a self-hosted version using nginx, certbot, and vouch-proxy [1]. Nginx checks with vouch for every HTTP request and redirects to Google for SSO if unauthenticated. It works well for humans in browsers, but not so much for robots. I'm sure I could configure nginx to do token-based auth, just haven't had the need.

I doubt any TV does this but if I needed to implement it I would just do it the same way that I use wifi in hotels that have captive portals without paying for it: tunnel IP over DNS.
I had to close the tab because I know I will stare at it for a while and I'm at work. Really interesting.

Is the "biot" name a reference to Rendezvous with Rama?
Yes, I'm on the EAP builds and was confused by this exact set of overlapping products.

It would be nice if JetBrains added a feature matrix or disambiguated when and where each product is suitable for.

To me, this was by far the most interesting thing in the original paper, and I would like to find out more about it.

I think, however, we should be careful about anthropomorphizing. When the researchers wrote 'inspection of incorrect answers reveals that the model often makes mistakes such as not carrying a “1”', did they have evidence that this was being attempted, or are they thinking that if a person made this error, it could be explained by their not carrying a 1?

I also think a more thorough search of the training data is desirable, given that if GPT-3 had somehow figured out any sort of rule for arithmetic (even if erroneous) it would be a big deal, IMHO. To start with, what about 'NUM1 and NUM2 equals NUM3'? I would think any occurrence of NUM1, NUM2 and NUM3 (for both the right and wrong answers) in close proximity would warrant investigation.

Also, while I have no issue with the claim that 'the best way to accurately predict an arithmetic answer is to deduce how the mathematical rules work', it is not evidence that this actually happened: after all, the best way for a lion to catch a zebra would be an automatic rifle. We would at least want to consider whether this is within the capabilities of the methods used in GPT-3, before we make arguments for it probably being what happened.
It would have been fun to see illustrations or artist renderings.
We can use fingerprints for additional security, but it has to be done carefully. If fingerprints or any biometric data is hacked, the users can change it, so they have to be contained. The best way I know is to use a mobile device with fingerprint or biometric input, which is saved only on the device. Then use the biometric to enable the user to accept the authentication request but use the mobile device specific info as a password replacement.

There's also some GPS glitches. I once got the KoM on a short section in a city where my speed was claimed 70km/h, when I probably was riding at 20.
Something I've noticed that both GPT-2 and GPT-3 tend to do is get stuck in a loop, repeating the same thing over and over again. As if the system was relying on recent text/concepts to go to the next utterance, only getting into a state where the next sentence or block of code being produced is one that has already been generated. It's not exactly uncommon.

What causes this? I'm curious to know what triggers this behavior.

Here's an example of GPT-2 posting on Reddit, getting stuck on "below minimum wage" or equivalent: https://reddit.com/r/SubSimulatorGPT2/comments/engt9v/my_for...

(edit) another example from the GPT-2 subreddit: https://reddit.com/r/SubSimulatorGPT2/comments/en1sy0/im_goi...

With GPT-3, I saw GitHub Copilot generate the same line or block of code over and over a couple of times.
No those are completely different. The physical act of owning an explosive can be made illegal and is. In the US the act of owning and expressing an element of speech is protected under US law.

You are getting close to something with you second statement. There are laws that criminalize actions like yelling 'Fire' inside a movie theater or provoking a fight (fighting words). Essentially these laws isolate the protected 'speech' from a non-speech and therefore non-protected 'action'.

However, it would be an extreme stretch to apply or expand these to apply to simply wearing a t-shirt. There is already plenty of case law that says wearing/displaying symbols or profanity is not enough to be considered fighting words/act. Heck, in most cases just using a racial epithet is not enough to be considered fighting words and/or hate speech. [1]

At most you will ever be able to convict is if someone is installing these adversarial images on public property (e.g street signs). In that case you might be able to use the harmful nature/intent of the images to elevate what would otherwise be a vandalism charge to assault. Essentially there needs to be a distinct and meaningful 'action' beyond just wearing/expressing speech.

Indeed. Bested only by ghosting.
+1 for projectors.

Some will laugh at getting 4K resolution and then projecting it on a regular white wall, but honestly, you'll get used to it as you project a much larger image than you'd otherwise get with an lcd. Also, there are special paints you can get - or a retractable screen if you feel the need after testing out the projector.

Note: if it is a room with windows make sure to have decent curtains. It's not as FC v bright as a LCD screen.
