Honestly this reminds me of a friend who sincerely answered "Because America" when I asked a related question. It didn't really mean anything and it was a naive misunderstanding the situation. In this case you misunderstand your relationship with these companies. Despite what you think about whatever law or amendment ...

You do not have a right of free speech on Google's platforms.

Yeah it sucks, you could talk about how you think Google are awful and they could kick you off. But also someone could be inciting an uprising against a minority and they can also be kicked off. It all kinda depends on the Terms of Service you agree on with Google. It's complex and annoying and it comes up all the time and has been done to death.

But nonetheless in this case it seems they removed someone who _didn't_ violate TOS, which bodes rather badly for the all of us because it means we are subject to the whims of whoever possesses the banhammer at any given time.

And with that I'm out. I cannot deal with this thread any more.
Yes, you’re right.
Hi HN,

Looking forward to writing HTML together tomorrow at 2PM EST. You can join our discord to share your writing/websites [1] during the freewrite.

Also we just wanted to share a little more about HTML Energy. It’s still coming together but here are some of our big dreams…

- Create a #web0 movement: We would love to see a new movement around web0 (coding HTML by hand, personal websites, webrings, etc). Basically anything that brings websites instead of platforms into the spotlight again. We are actually pretty inspired by all the energy that is going into web3 right now. What if that same energy and capital was going into web0? What could we create together?

- Rebrand HTML [2]: Some people think that HTML is outdated or hard to use. We think it’s actually pretty straightforward and really powerful stuff. Stripping away all the paint (CSS/JS) really makes the content the focus and there's a raw sincerity to an unstyled page. Our goal is just to get people excited about learning & writing HTML and this is our attempt at making it "cool."

- Getting HTML into schools: What if more people knew how to self host/publish? Would we depend on big platforms less? Would people begin making more small community websites to chat with their friends?

- Create another season of our podcast [3]. Last season we talked with so many incredible people that are trying to make the web a better place. Let us know if you listened and would want another season.

Hope to see you tomorrow and have a great night!

<p>'s on earth!

Yes, that's basically the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics, and a perfectly valid way to interpret the math.

The Many Worlds interpretation doesn't have the collapse, it says that all the possibilities happen.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Many-worlds_interpretation

> In contrast to some other interpretations, such as the Copenhagen interpretation, the evolution of reality as a whole in MWI is rigidly deterministic.

There's some wrinkles in that interpretation to preserve the Born rule of observed frequencies.

I'm currently looking to found my first business, and as I'm still a student I don't have a lot of money to spend.

I've looked at WHMCS ($18.95/Month; the maximum I would be willing to spend), but honestly the API for generating incvoices is just horrible.

Any recommendations?
Oklo has hundreds of pages of information on safety and all kinds of details of their design that is fully public. To say they’re hiding something is ridiculous and disengenuous.

Don’t claim they are lying to Congress about being able to reuse waste. You are the one who is blatantly lying about this to the point I wonder who’s paying you? It does not require “pristine haleu”- the very first reactor is using waste from Idaho National Labs. The DOE and Oklo are also working together on a waste-to-fuel factory as a second project. The fact you’d make up this information is reason enough to question both your motives and the entirety of your post.

Transatomic is nonexistent and Oklo chose not to work with them for a reason. They are quite different.

You also clearly don’t know anything about the NRC and their dealings with this company; they are working with Oklo currently on approval process.

Again, you seem uninformed on this company and their tech; the entire thing is small and on shutdown creates only as much heat as a riding lawnmower. So yes- there can be a country club or a daycare or whatever else you want to put on top. That’s part of why it’s so safe and needs to be approved.
I question that you’re actually for nuclear power at all; if you are, stop making up lies about a revolutionary company working to solve our energy crisis.
Yes, being dishonest during a negotiation often torpedos the whole interaction.

I tend to think there is a pretty broad space where most reasonable people will agree to what an honest discussion looks like.

Just remember, when it comes to companies and compensation, there are myriad ways a company can not lie and still mislead you.
You'd only turn it on if your sensing system had a positive detection for a missile... any such system has its own failure modes, and while it's true that a sensing system with few false positives is a mitigation to hazards to the pilots, you have to consider the system as a whole. Especially if heat-seeking missiles fired at cargo planes are rare (and from what I can tell, they are), you expect the majority of activations to be false positives.

Ah ok thanks. I learnt of it in classical training, and have since read of it in classical books (e.g. classical music theory, or philosophy of music books concerned mainly with classical music), as the melodic minor descending. But seems I never understood "natural minor" so maybe unconsiously ignored that term or something.
That's a great suggestion. Maybe we will create a Mastodon for the next one.

I don't know anything about the T0pp, so can't comment on that.

I agree with you on tuning of LLMs. We did some work at my last job before I retired (as CTO of a major medical clinical and research organization) using GPT-3 up-trained on medical vocabulary to generate physician's notes as a summary of a transcribed visit. The results were impressive. Still not usable though. Most of what it generated was correct (and essentially all of it was well composed and readable), but false statements and non sequiturs still crept in at an unacceptable rate.

I think the technology is amazing, and very valuable. But I do also think that tying it to "hard" knowledge models - akin to the way deep physics is done, but coupling to the language model, rather than to generalized neural networks, is going to prove will eventually make it a complete success in specific domains.
Start with something extremely simple. e.g make your bed every day when you wake up. All that is important is to do it consistently every time you wake up.

Then after you feel you're able to do it consistently add more and more things to it. Just don't ever break the simple one you picked as the first one.

Can reading a configuration value from a file (something that can be abstracted away in a fairly simple single function) really make code so much more complicated than hard coding that configuration value in code?
"simple" -- I wish we'd retire this word. We're all in the desert, and there is not yet an oasis.
A bit weird even if it's just a laser.
Because people are already posting to Facebook, and it provides a lot of excellent scaffolding, including a small comment box that gives friction to large messages, and little friction to short messages. A bunch of short messages is what I want, which is not something typically someone is going to email. They also want to broadcast it to all their friends in a lightweight way that doesn't clog up inboxes and signals that it's optional knowledge, which an email doesn't.
Point 2 is important for a bank if they hold the loan on their books. Normally, you as an individual don't worry about something being worth less unless you know you're going to sell it in the near future. You won't have a loss until you sell. Technically.

But for a bank, the government requires them to maintain a certain reserve amount. This is to handle withdrawals that are greater than planned.[0] The current loan value is an asset to the bank and so counts towards the reserve ratio. If the loan value drops, then they will have to sell some assets (probably some of those same loans) in order to raise some cash. Since they're forced to do this when it's disadvantageous to them, and it's likely that other banks are also trying to unload some loans to meet their reserve requirements, they have to offer those loans at a significant discount. Meaning they get even less for them than the low value they had them for.

[0] This is what killed Wachovia. There was a "silent" run on the bank over the weekend in 2008 by wealthy customers transferring out amounts above the then-FDIC insurance limit of $100k. It wiped out their reserves and the government forced a sale.
Eventually there will be so much software that writing code will need to be automated by machines. GPT-2 is open source and it's able to write computer programs, although not very well. GPT-3 does it better and they give it away for free. So imagine how much more advanced the stuff you have to pay money for is, or the trade secret models. You'd think programmers would move on to a higher-level of abstraction where programmers program the computer programs that do programming. That's probably not going to be the case. For example, take a look at the GPT-2 source code https://github.com/openai/gpt-2/blob/master/src/model.py It's only a few hundred lines of code.
Yeah it's unnecessarily bloated and over-the-top. It also pulls a lot of media from Reddit and Twitter.

I wasn't really concerned about this when I was building it though. It's experimental, not meant to be taken too seriously. I just made it this way because I thought it was cool

I'll see if I can fix some of the things you've mentioned though. I really appreciate the feedback, thanks
My first real job back in 2013 gave all of the devs macbooks to work on. I never used it specifically because osx couldn't do this.

Generally speaking, what's the general opinion on 80/20'ing your way into a lateral transfer?

I've done it a couple times, at best I ended up leaving, at worst, HR never actually recorded the transfer so when time came a few years down the road, it was on my resume, but come employment verification time, I (and the firm that had offered me a position) learned that archived employee records had me listed down under my prior role, not the one I had transferred into-and had since that point, used for experience in leveraging new jobs. I lost a job offer because of it.

Now I'm reticent to do any kind of 80/20's without written considerations from the company.
It’s possible you read it on our site. We have some recent (and some very old) articles about how the magic happens, like this one about our open source word segmenter: https://instantdomainsearch.com/engineering/instant-word-seg...
What are legitimate reasons? Other than to ensure your money is yours?
Usually the 90% of the employees that don't call their bluff are the bottom 90%. If a company affords to lose the top 10% on a regular basis, it's a bad business model.

It looks like they are trying to emulate onion routing, but on the regular Internet. At the very least, it turns your computer(s) into exit nodes for VPN use. They recommend 3 devices, but also of course you have to keep your router available.

I can imagine this getting your IP blocked from some sites. Chances of you noticing might be slim, but it would be quite a pain if it did affect a site that you do visit.

Also, the unspoken part: They are using your electricity as well. So hopefully whatever you get out of this pays enough for that as well.
I've never actually paid for PACER. They waive the fees if you're below $X every quarter. And it's a generous enough $X.

> Teaching how to code should be about problem-solving and effectively using the tools of a programming language to solve it. Say for example modeling a card game. Even better if the example is a continuous improvement starting from the very basics, hard coding stuff, and then increasing the scope as follows:

How funny! This is exactly the approach Jenny Greene and I took in Head First C# (O'Reilly), right down to the way we start with cards and suits, then ordering, building up to a complete card game.
Excellent.

One funny thing I've noticed with French EFL speakers of medium proficiency is that they too think all those loanwords from French aren't English words. It's always fun to troll them dropping a en route and look at their reaction.

I've wanted to leave my job for years, haven't found anything to replace it though. My discontent is with the company culture moving from self hosted open software and standards (and no JS requirement) to proprietary SaaS that requires JS. From XMPP to Discord. From self hosted trac to GitLab EE. OTOH I've been able to increase the amount of open source I work on and decrease working on the proprietary internal components.
This is a topic that I think is covered poorly sometimes. It's one of those things that is actually a much longer discussion. Think of it, in increasing complexity,

1. There is a major scale and a minor scale.

2. Actually, there are three minor scales: natural, melodic, and harmonic.

3. Actually, forget about those scales. Think instead more freely about tonality, modal mixtures, secondary dominants, and voice leading.

I think that anyone studying music is better off stopping at #1 or going all the way to #3. The problem with stopping at viewpoint #2 is that it's complex enough to make you really think, but not grounded enough in actual musical practice to make that thinking fruitful[1].

There are a lot of reasons why you might want a particular note to be sharp or flat. Sometimes you want a stronger resolution, like V -> i, rather than v -> i, which sounds weak. For that reason, to make better harmony, you may choose to make the 7th scale degree (B) a major 7th (B natural) instead of a minor 7th (B flat). You may also want to resolve a melodic line by half-step, which often sounds stronger, like B->C. But when you are stepping downwards, C->B, that's likely not any kind of resolution, so C->Bb is fine (it's likely not a resolution if you're in the key of C). These melodic concerns drive the "melodic" minor scale (and we drag in the 6th scale degree to avoid an augmented second interval).

The catch is... all we're really saying here is,

1. You are free to borrow notes from outside the key, for lots of reasons, and

2. There are lots of reasons in particular why you might want to borrow for the sixth and seventh scale degrees.

These deeper concepts get shoehorned into the notions of "melodic minor" and "harmonic minor". So much is lost by shoehorning these ideas into scales that I wonder why we even bother. I think it's really that people like categorizing scales and learning new names for things, which also drives people's fascination with modes, which is totally out of proportion to how much you'd actually want to use them in music. Modes and scales seem to have a particular fascination for hackers in the music scene.

I have a lot more to say on this subject, but I'm working on a blog post.

[1]: Please note that you definitely can choose to write music using one of these scales as a device, and many people do, and it's good stuff. It's just that most music that most people listen to doesn't make any sense to analyze as using particular minor scales.

There's something magical about writing raw HTML/CSS. Nostalgia must be part of it -- I'm guessing many self-taught programmers growing up in the late 90s/2000s started out by learning HTML/CSS before dabbling with JavaScript, Flash, PHP.

It's also extremely satisfying to make a webpage with zero dependencies. No JS frameworks, no build processes; just a direct conversation between you and the Browser. That tight feedback loop is plain _fun_, especially for those of us who feel bogged down by modern software development.

Finally, writing raw HTML/CSS aligns with the founding vision of the world wide web, in which individuals could independently create and host content without any technical barrier to entry or dependency on corporations. The age of the personal webpage is over and I think that vision of the web is mostly dead, but I'm happy to see people keeping the energy alive.
~6 years ago I've created a lib to convert any text into the image and decode it back.
Each symbol char code is converted into the hex color and placed on the specific x & y. Brackets, curly brackets, colons, semicolons, or other statements like function, class are highlighted with their own color.

Just for fun
- convert source code into the image
- apply filters
- decode image back into the code
- WOW! the code is refactored kekw

I can easily imagine that the next time the GOP controls congress they'll ask similar questions of outlets like CNN and MSNBC vis-a-vis the George Floyd riots.

People should be more considerate of the opposition when they're in power. Payback is almost assured, and sometimes even with escalation.
The black keys are in the wrong place! The black keys within a group are supposed to be spaced farther apart, and there should be less space between groups.

For example, C# and D#, in the diagram, are too close to each other. C# should be farther left, and D# should be farther right.
Other typed languages, including those far more popular than Rust, have had libraries like serde — which are obviously the right tool for the job — for many years, and yet if 0.1% of their programmers make a mistake, that's enough to make it one of the most common and dangerous vulnerabilities. We know some programmers make that mistake because that's what security research shows, which is why the language and type system should reduce its chances. Are you saying that you're not worried about that 0.1% because you can be certain even one programmer in a thousand won't make such mistakes, or because you don't expect Rust to be popular enough for that number to matter?
This is the trick. People try to begin with complex routines and fail, when in reality it's more likely to have success if your basic routine is make your bed and brush your teeth. The only other advice I can offer is this: don't be a perfectionist. If in one day you make your bed hastily, it's ok, you still did it. And if you miss a step one day, dont suffer for that, remember you will do it right in the next day.

This is spammy and $239 is stupidly expensive for a co2 monitor. You can get them under $100 all-up. An NDIR sensor component all by itself is $60 from Adafruit which is a hobbyist electronics place that I like but which tends to be on the expensive side. By that, I mean that the $100 retail units are doing fine in terms of markups. You can also estimate CO2 using a much less expensive ($10) VOC (volatile organic compound) sensor.

Anyway I'm planning to DIY a monitor using the Adafruit module, so it will also be able to log to a raspberry pi and that sort of thing. I decided that approach would have more flexibility than buying a complete unit.
