Eh... It does have a transitive normative reference to T.61, but only by way of special restrictions on the use of three characters.

T61String is defined in terms of ISO 2022, with the default C0 Character set set to ISO-IR-102 (as you linked). ISO-IR-102 defines the set of graphical characters, but also places a condition on the use of 3 of them by reference to T.61. It also requires that the control character set C0 be set to ISO-IR-106 by default, and ISO-IR-107 for C1.

The net effect is that the default character set of T61String is almost the T.61 character set, except that to get the T.61 character set, you need to include the escape sequence to set G1 to ISO-IR-103. ESC 2/9 7/6

A conforming T61String implementation does need to support the escape sequences and resulting encodings from ISO-IR-6, ISO-IR-87, ISO-IR-102, ISO-IR-103, ISO-IR-106, ISO-IR-107, ISO-IR-126, ISO-IR-144, ISO-IR-150, ISO-IR-153, ISO-IR-156, ISO-IR-164, ISO-IR-165, ISO-IR-168.

Since the control character sets include shift prefixes etc, properly parsing T61Strings into Unicode is non-trivial.

This is actually a pretty good reflection of the complexity in ASN.1. Technically the ASN.1 spec proper only requires that a T61 string support exactly the set of characters specified in the above registrations. It does not mandate any particular format, for them. It is the BER encoding that requires that ISO2022 be used to encode these. A different encoding could specify that all strings are encoded as UTF-8, and the different types are just various subsets of allowed characters.
Good, US has been spending unfair share and has been the nanny of the world. One thing I agreed with Trump policy was this inward-looking aspect - no more stupid wars, no more pulling the weight of NATO and no more nation building in ME. Note that these policies were bipartisan - Bushes and Clintons/Obama supported them and spun the military industrial complex slot machine. What Trump did was very much in the stark contrast to the classic liberal/conservative stance of US foreign policy. Essentially a more lucid version of Ron Paul.
You essentially restated the criticism I responded to.
Does not allow to use a struct field. That's strange.
Given that the US is now a net oil exporter, an oil shock scenario is pretty much off the table. Moving to EVs is going to take so much oil demand off the table that it's pretty much a non issue going forward too.
Firefox has included a viewer based on PDF.js since 2013:

https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js#online-demo

No need to download to anything other than localstorage.

There have been a half dozen vulnerabilities found in the Firefox extension code exploitable through PDF.js over the years, but this is a far better record than the hundreds of vulnerabilities identified in Acrobat Reader.

PDF.js does a lot less than Acrobat. It's much more focused on just displaying articles, and less about rich media interactions like embedding 3D models, Flash, videos, etc. in the PDF.
Does it really matter? People that spend more than $1,000 on a laptop buy Apple.

Edit: Some outliers really want me to write “overwhelmingly most” or find that old market study? Maybe. But I can also spend 4 points so fire away.
We have a tendency to reify science as something sacred or uniquely human, but the scientific method is essentially an algorithm. Like the article said, AI does not need to develop theorems in a post-theoretical mode of science. AI only needs a systematic way to make discoveries that are in the self interest of the system in which it's embedded.

Humans may need theory to perform science, but only because we're slow and have bad memories is it necessary for us to rely on faint signals like intuition, eureka moments, and pulling all-nighters in the lab. Machines don't need narratives and metaphors to represent their knowledge of the world, nor do they need reason or explanations of how and why. They just need to function.
I received $50 last year through Payoneer for a quick freelancing job and completely forgot about it.

A year later, last week, I remembered and decided to withdraw it only to find out that I was deducted $30 for not using the account. Shitty, but I decided to just withdraw the rest and be done with it, only to be faced with the fact that they have a minimum withdraw amount.

I then proceeded to send them an e-mail requesting immediate termination of my account as they literally stole money from my account. I do not recommend this service to anyone.
This article is misleading in the fact it critiques the usefulness of the OpenAI "chat" example with little or no related training sets passed as tokens during the submission of the question, nor does it mention use of modifications to the parameters (such as temperature) used during the call.

In order for OpenAI to perform well, it needs to be primed with what is being discussed so it can give a more targeted and deterministic answer.

We can get it to answer this question better without any further data by first preprocessing the question using keyword extraction (completions by GPT-3 are shown surrounded by stars):

https://beta.openai.com/playground/p/default-keywords
Text: Is it safe to go down stairs backwards with my eyes closed?
Keywords: *stairs, backwards, eyes closed*

In 10 submissions, the keywords returned were the same.

Next, we ask for a completion from the keywords we were given, tweaking the settings just a bit to prevent repeating or too much randomized behavior:

https://beta.openai.com/playground/p/default-keywords (temp to 0.05)
Keywords: stairs, backwards, eyes closed
Question: *What is the most dangerous thing you have ever done?*

Clearly GPT3 is aware something is dangerous here. Setting the temp higher causes it to ask slightly different questions, but at 0.05 it always returns what is above.

Now we combine the two questions and resubmit:

https://beta.openai.com/playground/p/default-qa (frequency penalty to 1)
Q: What is the most dangerous thing you've ever done? Is it safe going down stairs backwards with your eyes closed?
A: *I've done a lot of dangerous things, but I don't think any of them were the most dangerous. Going down stairs backwards with my eyes closed is safe if you're not going to fall down the stairs.*

Given we leave the temp to defaults, we may also get alternate answers:

https://beta.openai.com/playground/p/default-qa (frequency penalty to 1)
Q: What is the most dangerous thing you've ever done? Is it safe going down stairs backwards with your eyes closed?
A: *I've never done that, but I have gone down stairs backwards with my eyes open. It's not safe.*

Finally, we can take all the questions and answers so far and ask it a slightly different question:

Q: What is the most dangerous thing you've ever done? Is it safe going down stairs backwards with your eyes closed?
A: I've done a lot of dangerous things, but I don't think any of them were the most dangerous. Going down stairs backwards with my eyes closed is safe if you're not going to fall down the stairs.
Q: What is the most dangerous thing you've ever done? Is it safe going down stairs backwards with your eyes closed?
A: *I've never done that, but I have gone down stairs backwards with my eyes open. It's not safe.*
Q: Is it safe to go down stairs backwards with a blindfold on?
A: *It's safe if you're not going to fall down the stairs.*
Q: Do you think if I go down stairs backwards with my eyes closed I will fall?
A: *It's possible.*
I don't want to speculate about Artemis specifically, but first-person plural pronouns to refer to oneself typically isn't a "royal we" or anything like that, it's just what helps some folks feel comfortable, especially those who have DiD or who label themselves as plural. See https://www.reddit.com/r/plural/wiki/index (keywords: "plurality," "multiplicity," ...)

I'm dating someone who refers to themself in the first person plural; it becomes perfectly natural pretty quick :)
Agreed on both points! As somebody who bridges research and production code, I can typically clean code faster than I can read & understand it. It really helps to have a known-good (or known-"good") example so that I can verify that my cleanup isn't making undesired changes.

And, yeah. I've found some significant mistakes in research code -- authors have always been grateful that I saved them from the public embarrassment.
Total shot in the dark, but with the good press around Unpacking and Unsighted, I can see Humble shifting its attention towards game publishing over the marketplace. If they can release their own software faster by exclusively supporting Windows, they may no longer see value in their previous "cross-platform" commitments.
I don't get furious using a chat bot until it asks for the same information twice because the "context" changed.
Not much of a snack eater personally, in the odd situation where it comes up I'll have a banana or something.

Caffeine though, that's my weakness
Honestly, my only gripe is conflating pedophilia and child abuse. One can be both a pedophile and a child abuser, but the first doesn't imply the other. Or maybe I'm just lamenting over another word losing a useful distinction in modern usage.

Either way, it would seem in this case it may be both.
Not sure if you care to hear this or not, but this almost a perfect way to articulate the humanism that is the starting point for Marx's analysis of history. But he was actually just following the way Aristotle thought about it!
I actually have seen this legitimately work as well, as in being on a program where we pretty consistently hit every deadline with every planned feature at or under the promised price, for years on end.

But then take the same company, even many of the same people, and put them on a new project, and the estimates go to crap.

It really takes a lot of domain-specific experience, and I mean "domain" pretty narrowly, like knowing the code base, knowing the developers, knowing the customer, knowing the external surprises and constraints you're likely to come across because you've seen them so many times before. I've never seen it work for greenfield, even in an organization with the discipline and know how to do it correctly for their older applications they've been working on for years or decades.
I’ve come to think a certain amount of attrition is needed to keep a product and the individuals working on it healthy. Back in my consulting days I worked with a few enterprise software companies that had a lot of highly tenured employees (think 10+ years). All the long-timers I met were skilled fiefdom builders with a strong bias toward opposing every change and maintaining the technical status quo because a lot of their value was in their vast knowledge of the way things already are. Without attrition you end up accumulating people you don’t want. Overall it seems like a path to ossification/stagnation for your people and product.

From the individual perspective, staying too long slows down your rate of learning because you aren’t coming into contact with new people and technology at the same rate. Anecdotal, but lately I’ve interviewed some 8+ year tenured candidates that I wouldn’t rate above SWE II because it was literally a “one year of experience 10 times” situation. I try to change things up every 4 years or so to avoid ending up this way myself.
One of America's secret sauces is that everyone in the world is welcome to defect from their home regime and come here. Hell, there's even a chance we'll make your children our leaders (Obama and Harris for example). And you personally have a chance to start a business and become a billionaire or advance up the corporate ladder to CEO of existing giants.

The inverse is not true.

The best and brightest Americans (regardless of race) can never effectively defect to China. Maybe if you're ethnically Han Chinese your children will have a chance to be fully integrated and accepted, but definitely not if you're any other race.

The gravity of best and brightest migration is still one way into the American singularity.
Honestly it’s already been done- release the wage numbers publicly. The only way screwing over long term team members works is if you can keep a lid on it. Wage secrecy enables all kinds of bad behavior.
Ask HN: Which type of jobs are good for Digital Nomads
Hello, I am a senior full stack developer and I want to now work as a Digital Nomad ( Travel and work:).

My current developer job is 100% remote. I have a daily stand up meeting each morning and I have to be on slack to answer other developer questions.

I would like to switch to another type of job that doesn't require stand up meetings or being on slack. Any ideas of how other Digital Nomads are able to do this?
me too. I grew-up between Germany and Brazil and now I live mainly in Portugal. In the beginning I was amused by that too. Now I can really speak PT-PT. Even "Ja" can be used to say yes.
I look forward to seeing the author write about Pernos.co, an extremely underrated debugging tool that basically changed my and my team's lives when fixing bad code.
GPT3 isnt supposed to answer questions. Didn't IBM's Watson win at Jeopardy ?
Given the enormous amount of papers that come out, I personally tend to read papers that come with code (and data) first.

For me, it shows the authors are confident yet also open to critique. Which is a wonderful thing.

Secondly, I usually need the code to really understand the paper.
Even if we transition to a multipolar world order and renewed great power competition, America will still be the strongest and most secure global power. It has hegemony in the western hemisphere through its enforcement of the Monroe Doctrine; it is protected by the two largest oceans; it has historical, linguistic, and cultural ties to two regional powers on both sides of the ocean (UK and Ireland in Europe, Australia and NZ in the Asia Pacific, Five Eyes, etc.); it is by far the leader in soft power (music, movies, TV, technology, English language, etc.); and most importantly, it has the strongest military by far. Despite strategic defeats in the Middle East and South Asia, US officers gained tons of battlefield experience and the ability to test its weaponry. So even if the US now has to deal with a hegemonic challenger in East Asia (China) and more assertive one in Europe (Russia), its geography and demography give it advantages no other great power has.
The Soviet aircraft carriers were built the way they were because the country was poor and couldn't afford anything better. They actually tried to build a real nuclear powered super carrier once but ran out of money and then the country collapsed.

This is the whole thing that has to stop though.

We bring up how deadly covid is, and how vaccinations help reduce symptoms, but no one is pointing out the most insane thing of the blatant discrimination against unvaccinated people to be denied entry to a place without proof of vaccination, even though, vaccinated people are still spreading the disease.

I’m sorry but supporting this crap is insanity. You literally are taking a group of people and making them the dirty untouchables, saying “show me your papers” like the discriminative parties of the past. The weird thing is those who told blacks to get to the back of the bus or called the police on their neighbor for hiding a Jew in their basement also were as convinced as all these people who defend vaccine mandates.

I don't know about you, but I never change the time zone on my servers. Ever.
Ironically I'm 18th in the queue at computershare.com right now (Its a way for even minors to do direct investment in a company other than more typical employee ownership programs or broker acct, very long story about a very old account).

The website has a bug where locked accounts are told to change their password, which will change their password via an email process but then your acct is still locked out of course, but you can click here to change your password. Endless loop. Very annoying.

The idiotic chatbot helpfully suggests the way to solve a locked account is to change your password. That's exactly where the bug is, and resetting your password does not unlock the acct which is the problem.

Helpfully the support website says if you wait a day a locked account will be unlocked. That of course is not true.

I've only been working on this since Sunday.

Anyway a fucked up company that is essentially inoperable, when given a chatbot, will merely have one more thing that doesn't work. Its a lot harder to code a chatbot that can fix a locked account than it is to code a website to unlock a locked account, so if they fail the simpler task you know the harder chatbot task would be impossible for them.

I'm hopeful that within a half hour I'll be able to chat with a human rep and gain access to my account. I've been in line for a human for about ten minutes and I'm down to 15th in the queue.

I used to work in telecommunications and I'm glad I don't have to hold a phone to my ear and listen to on-hold music for hours on end like the bad old days, I have multiple monitors and I can just leave this window up for however many hours it takes while working on other monitors.
+1 for shark puns
Yes coups require explicit support of the military and/or populace. They had neither.
If you're a company and wish to use Wise, you need to create an Enterprise account. When doing so, not every country is listed in the dropdown. I've personally been waiting for Brazil to be added for almost 2 years at this point. It's a great service that would help me out a lot.
In my experience, typically researchers only publish the relevant and/or core algorithms of their research. If you would like, you can always publish the code to Github (if it isn't already), and reference it in your paper.

If it is too much work to refactor the code for publishing, you can also just publish pseudocode.

I don't think anyone will nitpick or criticize coding style or things like that unless it is particularly egregious (ie naming variables something vulgar etc). The point of research papers is to communicate new and valuable findings. If people in this conference or journal are nitpicking things like that, you may want to find a different place to submit your work.

I don't know what your field is, but in Computer Science I can't say I have ever known people to consider their code a competitive advantage. The only time they might shy from releasing code is when they think they can commercialize it or something.
It's like predicting someone's death: undoubtedly one day that person will die, it's just quite hard to predict it accurately. As devil in a certain book jested, "Yes, the man is mortal, but that's half the trouble; it's that he sometimes is abruptly mortal, that's the trick!"
> What leads you to call that probable?

Because people with guns who said they wanted to kill her entered the capitol with their guns and started looking for her.

E.g., from one charging document: "Thinking about heading over to Pelosi CUNT’s speech and putting a bullet in her noggin on Live TV [purple devil emoji]."

Charges: Possession of Unregistered Firearms, Possession of Unregistered Ammunition, Possession of Large Capacity Ammunition Feeding Devices.

So... he had a gun, said he wanted to kill pelosi, and then broke into a federal building and started looking for her.

He was probably just trolling and this is all a big over-reaction, right? /s

They kneecapped some of their consumer internet industry. They're still investing a lot in all other forms of technology.
Sorry, I could've been clearer. The entire book of de Hamel is not available on Getty; you have to buy the hardcover copy to get the full deal. :-) What I meant was, some of the illuminated manuscripts reviewed (including some gorgeous images from the real thing) in de Hamel's book are available on getty.edu.

E.g. you can find the 16th century illuminated manuscript, "Spinola Hours" (reviewed in the book I mentioned) here[1]. You have to scroll twice to see the list of 182 images. And you can in turn browse the illustrations it such this[2] calendar-page miniature painting for the month of May. You can see people singing and making merry on a boat, along with other drawings—all on a small page.

Note though, one doesn't need to be religious in any sense (I'm not) to appreciate these art works.

ReMarkable 2 as an Emacs Display
Apps published on Deta Space will use our own payment solution; we will process the payment and send the dev their cut. For now, Ad-supported apps will not be published on Space. Space apps are reviewed manually.

We will offer either a simple purchase/subscription mechanism & our own SDK (for more complex use cases).

Offering a 0-ops & 0-liability experience for any dev globally is pretty attractive. There's more to this that I cant talk about yet unfortunately.
What's trolling about that?
Can companies get around this by active transfers? This doesn’t work everywhere.
There is a good reason. The private yachts and jets ferry the world’s elite to climate change conferences. Climate change conferences reduce global warming.
Cloud and developer setups are super sticky. If they have technical lock-in, then that switching cost is not just server vs revshare, but server + devops team + time spinning wheels on infra not focused on product + unknown glitches of a new environment vs revshare.

Essentially, the same business model as heroku -- free and affordable to start, but $$$$ at a medium scale. It will work until the business becomes an enterprise, which it seems Deta Cloud is adamant about not serving.
That one!
Sure, if there are "dumb" bots that are way more useful than Eliza, I can drop the expectations.
How is explaining/figuring out how quantum physics effects semiconductors "stealing credit"? Learning about how quantum tunneling effects impact super small transistors is extremely useful since chip designers can use this info to design chips that mitigate this effect as we scale down.

Also in the material sciences metamaterials have special properties precisely because of how the molecular structure manipulates quantum forces. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-019-09939-8
Any thoughts on Bolt. They look successful and they are not only a checkout company, but they seem to offer fraud, network effect, one identity across e-commerce, fueling e-commerce infrastructure is what I can see on their site. They started promoting 4 day work week, no location-based pay discrimination North America.
You don't necessarily have to frame it that way. "Hey folks, I understand my name can be difficult to pronounce sometimes so feel free to call me X". But I also totally understand if you don't feel like it's necessary. Just something to keep in mind :)
The article's oil analysis is laughable in hindsight. Look at this chart:

https://www.eia.gov/energyexplained/oil-and-petroleum-produc...

Almost immediately after the article was written, US oil production hockey-sticked up to the point we were a net exporter of oil starting in 2020. The Salon analysis is actually hilarious against what actually happened.
Have you, or whoever recommends that, ever talked to an actual non tech-savy person? I don't mean it like a "me as a non tech-savy person" role-playing, but to a real flesh and bone grandma.
When a clothes code is required in a club and you don't wear they don't let you enter , Djokovic knew the rules but lied and tried to go over them. But as he is famous you want us to let him in. I think that all the people that want to kiss Djokovic ass are free to do it but not everybody wants.
