What is "location sharing"?

Sounds like people differ on what they consider to be "getting messaging right".

I was happy with TextSecure; all I ever wanted was encrypted SMS.

It would be fine. You can keep the temp at like 60 degrees for 8-10 hours, if you aren’t moving.

I think Confluence “shines” as a sort of “Wikipedia for your company” with the added benefit that it’s simple enough that anyone can create a nice looking page and there are plugins to cater to different disciplines.

And yes, it’s super bland and uninspiring. Just like Excel or Word. I consider it a feature.
So long as Signal is not less secure and this does not affect battery life I don't mind.

It does feel pointless though.
I did try the Demo 401, and while I do think it is neat concept it was pretty rough on the edges. The thing that bothered me maybe the most is how lot of the assets felt pretty low-poly, so that all rounded things had very distinct polygons on them. You can see some of that in this screenshot I took from the dining room: https://ibb.co/RhCqJvW especially the spoons and glasses look pretty bad, but also the plates and forks are not great.

Overall the game looks decent when doing general overviews of the rooms, like in the screenshots on the webpage, but suffer when looked close-up. And imho zooming in to look at the details would be large part of the attraction of this sort of project, so it is bit unfortunate that the visuals don't quite live up to that.

Speaking of the screenshots on the web page, the overall lighting quality looks quite a bit better what I was seeing in-game, which makes me think those are offline renders. I understand wanting to show off the project as nicely as possible, but I do feel my expectations were set up notch too high for what it actually delivered.
How was it known to be damaged if you couldn’t see it?

I’m in favor of intelliJ or CLion but I hear good stuff about rust analyzer and vacode as well.
Not visibly, no. Several reasons, where the most obvious is that our medical care and availability of information has massively improved. Another is that the 1918 pandemic hit young and healthy people disproportionately.
Agreed in part, I'd indeed want careful motivation and change management of such a change from my language or DB vendor -- JS/Python takes years for tinier semantic changes :)

The average OSS project is just ~1 fulltime maintainer, maybe 2, with tiny drive-by contributors: there are great studies measuring this. Even most popular and long-lived OSS projects are more like that than Linux. The exceptions are inspiring, but most (my bet, I don't recall stats here) seem to be open core largely driven by 1 company. Something foundational with many contributors under open governance like Linux is better to discuss as an abnormality ("why can't the typical project grow to this size, maturity, tooling, and stability?").

So when talking about modern OSS, the typical case of looking through a pip or npm tree is NOT big shops and instead something closer to a network of volunteer passion project. From such individuals, I'm thankful for semvar, CHANGELOG, CI, and a few niceties like that. From there, the history of BREAKING would signal the project moves too fast for us or with too big swings, or looks more acceptable.

Thank you so much!

I've always attempted to be "batteries included" with BookStack due to this frustration. Means we have to be more limited in abilities but hopefully provide a better experience for what we do allow.
The "neighbour" argument is DOA and has been from the start. There are no meaningful differences between Sweden and other countries except in its government response - Scandinavians aren't aliens and thus nobody was claiming they were incomparable back at the start. Instead it was headlines like "Sweden is a cautionary tale to the world". The idea that you aren't allowed to compare them only appeared once Sweden proved that COVID mitigations were a terrible failure.

The real question is actually what's special about Norway and such. Sweden isn't an outlier here.
It’s not guaranteed, it’s just extremely probable that it’s unique given that its generation follows a uniformly random distribution.
> The authority can and should still be around to enforce the blockchain, but they should still have to respect it.

Why?

I’m serious, by the way. This seems like the same sort of thinking I see in supporters of various anarcho-x-isms, where whichever x is substituted in, it is somehow retained despite the anarchy.

You might like the shiny new thing, but anyone whose job it is to enforce the things shiny does, can do that at much lower cost by using the current mechanisms instead of the shiny.
I'm under the impression that many emissions testing programs (at least in the US) have discarded their more sophisticated testing mechanisms and now just rely on the ECU saying everything is okay. Since most cars on the road are new enough to have that ability. Oregon definitely ditched the dynos, and while they use a sniffer for really old cars, I wouldn't be surprised if they ditch that before much longer.

They're getting a lot more strict on ECU testing, too. Used to be you just needed to have no check emissions codes being thrown. Now they're more thorough, for most ECUs they can check to also verify no modifications to the emissions settings (can't just tell the computer it has no cat so it doesn't throw codes).
Facebook added stories to Facebook itself, Instagram, and Whatsapp a few years back, almost certainly in an attempt to claw some users away from Snapchat.
i have read much data and analysis that the people going to hospital and dieing are almost all unvaccinated, even tho most people are vaccinated. So it is quite effective at preseving our medical system and our people. qed
Cheap marketing.
Ironically something which makes this much less viable (unless the cars are exported after being refreshed) are the ever-shifting goalposts of EU emission standards. This is fundamentally what limits the usable life of a car in the UK - many cars end up on the second hand market not because they don't run anymore but because parking and congestion charge costs in certain cities (ie, London), make the marginal cost of buying a new car (which has better emissions ratings and therefore lower tax,etc) and selling the old one much lower.
The whole argument around Bio-mass is that it becomes carbon neutral because it emits carbon that itself has been captured.

The concept of burning bunker fuel on ships to keep these plants at break even is ludacrious. The fact that the pellets come from Finland or Malaysia is irrelevant.

I have nothing against Bio mass energy generation from gasing garbage or agriculture waste. But these wood furnace burner plants are a borderline racket.
What about the same url? Or one with query parameter adds?

I think that codex input is an intermediary representation of the original question.
Alas no its too dark on the cold side and far too bright on the hot side, no camera can work in these extremes. Everything we know is based on telemetry and they set up a 3D model based on the telemetry so that we could see the live state.
A secret tracking device that reveals the location of the rebels secret underground base certainly sounds dangerous, but allowing dissidents to share location of the protest for everyone to gather at seems almost necessary for a modern messaging app! How else do you get to that critical mass of people in the main city square? In the end, it's just a tool that isn't inherently good or evil.
From what I have heard from my energy business acquaintances, the only alternative source that has a hope of surpassing fossil is nuclear. Solar panels and wind have their own issues: rare earth minerals, difficult upkeep, and in the case of the non-mirror solar- toxic pollution as they breakdown. I hope some combination of nuclear, geothermal, hydro, mirror-solar, and wind can combine to satisfy energy needs, but I am not optimistic.
I hate to break it to you but most people hospitalized with COVID are already vaccinated in many health systems. That's true in the UK for instance. US data is often garbage so it's harder to say there but it's unlikely to be different.

Most people are vaccinated + vaccines don't work very well = most COVID hospitalizations are vaccinated.
For me personally, adding stickers is much more important than chat backups - at least on a day-to-day basis. The last time I switched devices was 3.5 years ago, the last time I used a sticker was 3.5 hours ago.
It’s conflating bad habits and addiction. The advice may work for bad habits such as watching too much YouTube when you’d rather be more productive. An addiction twists the mind around where no amount of reason is going to stick without external systems in place to help. Anyone who’s had any serious struggles either internally or with a loved one is going to recognize this.
They rewrite the questions before feeding it into the AI. That makes "100% correct" significantly less impressive.

For example, they manually rewrote the question:

> Find the derivative of the function using the definition of a derivative. f(x) = (x2 − 1)/(2x − 3)

To

> Use Sympy to find the derivative of f(x)=(x*2-1)/(2*x-3)

Which completely changes the question, and also their rewrite ensures that the AI doesn't fail to parse any data etc.
Was going to mention Neuralink. This long article goes into a lot of detail of the vision for them https://waitbutwhy.com/2017/04/neuralink.html
Ask HN: Are We in a Bubble?
i'm getting an overwhelming feeling we're in a stock/crypto/dotcom/housing bubble as of now

companies with zero revenue raising billions, s&p returning ~30% last year, bitcoin going 10x, housing (in my area) up 2x

yet we are in the middle of pandemic, millions get sick every day, inflation 30yr high, supply shortages

is the economy is broken? should we be expecting a crash/crisis soon?

edit:
i can't help but think there will be a counter reaction to the Fed printing dollars recklessly in 2020

and i'm even more scared Fed will go on a printing spree again to keep the current bubble from popping
Any public roadmap?
Oh yes, gotcha, I misread it as the opposite. Indeed if you include vendors and contractors the average per “employee” would certainly go way down.
Hopefully it inserts into L2 orbit successfully and starts doing science. If the results are interesting I can well see a future mission to try and refuel it to extend its life past its projected 10+ years.
Ouch!

You have now reached beyond my "letters/phone calls to Congress" threshold. Generally doesn't get an instant response, a d may take months, but surprisingly does occasionally get some traction. More out of spite than anything else. However, there is increasing regulatory attention being directed at the space, and even some states have insurance regulators you might be able to hit up.

It's unfortunate, but there are some drugs that insurers are simply not willing to be on the hook for, and if you're the unlucky person suffering from a rare, expensive to treat condition; the only way around it is to make a lot of noise and waves, and be open to trying alternative regimens.

No one should have to go through that though. Good luck.
It'll take a few weeks after L2 insertion to cool the components and another 5 months to calibrate the instruments.
I really like that aside from being a highly secure communications channel, Signal has now also replaced most other social networks for online interaction with my real friends.
Poverty exists only within industrial societies (and those that interact with industrial societies).

Outside of that scope, poverty doesn't exist. It's a made up concept to describe the relative lack of material compared to some arbitrary, and ever-changing standard.

Did hunter gatherers live in poverty? Or were they plenty content with their lot in life -- spending some of their time on survival in food-resource-rich geographies, and the rest on socializing and primitive leisure?

How about uncontacted tribes in the Amazon Rainforest? Are you going to label them as "living in poverty" so they can be "saved" and "enriched" by Western Industrial Society's values?

"Lifting people out of poverty" is slowly becoming "think of the children"; or even "housewives with nervous ailments should be treated with sedatives and lobotomies. Their conditions are quite saddening, so we should help them post-haste. We know best."
Agree with this! It's fantastic for most things but unkind with programmer API docs!
I can't speak for cart here, but from my perspective as a contributor to `bevy`, it's extremely useful having freedom from backwards compatibility concerns to improve our APIs.

For example, we want to rework our input handling, asset handling and UI; supporting this current UI solution indefinitely would be frustrating when we hope to make something much better once we can focus on that. As an example of this, we massively changed our rendering APIs for this release, allowing the improvements listed in the blog post to be implemented.
I expected them to have trained a novel network to solve the problems. In fact, it seems they have used OpenAI Codex (a similar network to the one used by Github copilot) to generate the answer.

Their insight was to edit the question-answer pairs to include domain knowledge and solve the questions as python code.

Quite impressive results nevertheless! It makes wonder whether this kind of problem can be solved using a custom-made solution, or is training large networks that can generalize from vast quantity of information the only way. Because if it is, then all these solutions would be monopolized by the large players..

You may be confusing the bitcoin network conditions with price action.

iirc, there were some mainstream and social media stories of the recent "events" concerning the country of Kazakhstan regarding banning of bitcoin mining and the political unrest (and or violence that ensued). The blip you experienced may have been a direct result from this.
I'm not really familiar with tennis aside from playing a couple games in high school gym, seeing a game or two on TV, and reading an essay from David Foster Wallace.

My approach would be to take what I assume the properties of felt are in terms of how they relate to a tennis game and assume that those properties are selected for. So, felt is probably a little cushion, giving the ball a little more durability as it gets whacked by rackets or off the ground. The felt provides grip, without which, a tennis ball may bounce off the ground in ways that are impossible to return. The color of the felt makes the ball easier to see (though of course you could color a nude call too).

Something like that.

Seconded! It all works incredibly well. Rust with Visual Studio Code and the relevant suggested extensions (CodeLLDB, rust-analyzer) must be least hostile expert system I've ever used (and I've tried a few).
Well, sure, but I was thinking along the lines of "reserving a spot on the stack and reserving a register seem like about the same level of clever", especially thinking about how mixed register/stack argument passing works in even relatively stupid C compilers.

Eliding the entire loop seems relatively similarly clever for either architecture, but would've counted as cheating in the frame I was pondering from.

Still neat to see even if x86 asm continues to make my eyes cross ;)

Far from me the idea to downplay the horror that must be quitting a long-formed addiction to methamphetamine or heroin, but I think downplaying non-chemical addictions as "bad habits" is an unfair characterization as well.

YMMV, but in my own experience for what it is worth, I've seen little difference and much parallel between quitting cigarettes (after 10 years of ~15 cigs/day), weed (after 11 years of ~1-1.5g/day) and Internet time-wasters (.. a W.I.P., many-to-most hours a day). Haven't gamed in a while now, but the loop of self-hatred and coping where each day you tell yourself "tomorrow is a new dawn" has felt eerily similar to each day telling yourself you're done smoking after this pack - which you make sure to finish so you wake-up without any left - until you're walking right back to the convenience store begrudgingly before noon. Rinse and repeat for months and years until, eventually, it actually sticks for some reason and you get past the first few months without giving in to your triggers (failing which you're basically back to square one). The pull to grab a smoke never really goes away, although it actually stinks after a few months, you just learn to tell yourself "no". The same way going to the dispensary remains tempting, but you remind yourself how it actually makes you feel after you smoke beyond the habitual dopamine hit. The same way reinstalling LoL or whatever gets tempting when you don't want to do what you need to do, but you manage to control yourself knowing you won't get any satisfaction from it.

I know it sounds dumb, I know none of these are comparable to an opioid addiction (despite what some say about nicotine, I refuse to believe it is harder to quit then opioids) and I don't think I'm able to properly word how I'm trying to say w.r.t. addiction, but I really think, for myself, that my addictions acted in a very similar way on my psyche. They're all self-destructive ways (for me and my usage) of coping with my negative emotions and anxieties, the "pull" to each when trying to quit and the hoops my brain'd go through to justify giving in to a trigger felt very similar, chemical or not. If anything, quitting cigarettes was the "easiest" and avoiding wasting hours a day on unfulfilling Internet activities remains the hardest.
My point was that capitalism has produced people and behaviors which do the cheating
Not to pour too much cold water on this, but the claim of 100% accuracy has a huge caveat. In the paper (Page 4) they state:

Interaction. The original question may not be a prompt that synthesizes a program whose execution results in the correct answer. In addition, the answer may require multiple steps with clear plots or other modalities. We therefore may interactively prompt Codex until reaching the correct answer or visualizations, making the minimum necessary changes from the original question

Which to me basically sounds like they had a human in the loop (that knows how to solve these math problems) that kept changing the question until it gave the correct answer. They do measure the distance (using a sentence embedding model) of the original question to the one that yielded the correct answer, but that feels a bit contrived to me.

Nevertheless, its still really cool that the correct answer is indeed inside the model.

You understand the power dynamics here wrong. You pay your ISP for unfiltered and uncensored internet access and your ISP wants to provide this to you. YOU are the ISP's paying customer. The fact that there are 3rd parties like recording industry associations that want to interfere with your and your ISP's private business is a problem for both you and your ISP.

The ISP will do the least legally possible it can to satisfy whatever these external players are coercing them to do. The recording industry does not pay your ISP. On the contrary - they sue them to court and try to force them to implement solutions to censor your internet without any compensation. All these solutions cost the ISP, so if the court is happy that removing the DNS records from the ISP's primary DNS is sufficient, then so be it. The ISP has no incentive to be hostile towards you or implement any more blocks than the absolute minimum they are legally required.
The field of ML is largely focused on just getting predictions with fancy models. Estimating the uncertainty, unexpectedness and perplexity of specific predictions is highly underappreciated in common practice.

Even though it is highly economically valuable to be able to tell to what extent you can trust a prediction, the modelling of uncertainty of ML pipelines remains an academic affair in my experience.

Huge. This is the first large telescope observing in far infrared. Some things:

- very early galaxies (so far that they are redshifted to far IR). Hence the “looking into the start of the Universe” talk). We know they are there, and that they are unusual and super-interesting, but just can’t see them.

I think this is high on the agenda so I’m guessing some PR shots of ancient galaxies are due.

- cold objects nearby; brown dwarves, rogue planets etc. Maybe planets around nearby stars.

- I haven’t seen this discussed, but maybe: Kuiper Belt objects, maybe looking for Planet X etc.
