They simultaneously have not enough information, and too much information. A human child can learn what a chicken is by seeing a chicken once, but "seeing a chicken" is not the same as the representation of a chicken as a set of pixels in an image. It's ... something else, that we don't quite have the words to describe. Clearly, when we look at things in the real world we take in much more information than when a CNN takes in an image. Machine learning datasets have too much data, but it's the wrong kind of data and they're the wrong kind of learning system, to learn what humans can learn from "single examples".

And humans can also learn about radically new categories of things that they have never experienced just by looking at an image, even a low-quality image.

And that's humans which are like the apex of intelligence on the planet (I know, right?). Neural nets can't even built the representation of the world that a simpler animal, like a cockroach, must have to be able to exist autonomously in its environment. We don't have anything like a machine that can get close to the ability of a cockroach for autonomy. It's mad. But people keep thinking, "hey, we'll just use more data and more layers" and get to the moon by jumping higher with a larger pogo stick.
Max did everything right here, and in this case I’m not sure the distribution process exists to have done better.

(Thanks Max for handling this well and politely and for putting up with everyone’s conflicting opinions.)
According to myth, Tamamo-no-Mae would attach herself to emperors and drive them mad, causing them to commit massacres. Hmm...
This number is lower than that due to the "with vs from" distinction. The data is really messy though so we can't be sure how much lower.
Thank you for the feedback! Regarding the bookmark management, it could certainly be better. I would have to find some time to code a bookmark manager extension based on SingleFile maybe.
Number 10 for March 6, 2022 is a piece from the Huffington Post about SNLs cold open. I'll never understand how something like this makes a Top 10 list of things I need to know today.
From my understanding from what experts say any light will affect your sleep to some extent. The big issue with backlit screens are that the blue lights are projected directly into your eyes which compounds the effects as more photons hit your eyes.
> can't blame him for fog of war

That's exactly what you should, though. Especially if you're in his position, where the smallest wimp is taken as fact.

> And he didn't call for violence but for response from international community

What exactly would you think the "response" would be if the nuclear plant was actually bombed? You don't have to be a geopolitical expert to know it is violence.

> You seriously bringing up that example in contrast to russian propaganda machine weaponising a completely fabricated story about crucified boy, with intention of evoking deep emotional response

Have you been following the news? Western media is doing exactly that with recent events like the snake island "heroes"?

How Three Months of Pair-Programming Has Impacted My Developer Career (2021)
Dupe, link was posted 2 days ago:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30569648
Nothing really. Piracy is widespread in my country and a lot of software being pirated isn't translated.

End result? People learned English.
I might have sounded harsh but I think shit happens is not the way to look at this. Don't claim I'm a better developer, but I always try to shy away from making things look nicer.

Experience have thought me, deal with problems when it is a problem. Dealing with could be problems can be a deep, very deep rabbit hole.

The commit message gave me the feeling that we should have just trust the author.

https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/f6dd975583bd8ce0884...
the issue now is not "how good of a reporting does this or that media produce?" the issue is "a literal fascist government is invading a sovereign country and their propaganda machine is in full throttle mode".
I think it's worth noting that the USSR (intentionally) did a heck of a lot to negate that and build a (more or less Russian less christian influence) national identity by re-settling minority groups that didn't like them.

This kind of worked, somewhat, and not for reasons they were anticipating. Turns out that forcibly resettling people doesn't make them like you but it does make them tolerate each other a little bit better because they all now have one thing in common: shared adversity under the USSR. However, in the places where it didn't work it created bigger problems. Places (Chechnya) that could have been clean breakaway republics didn't do so because they had a ethnic Russian minority holding them in and in cases where those nations did break you have the Russian group trying to lean politically into Russia and the non-Russian group leaning away and that causes its own problems (Georgia, Ukrainian breakaway provinces, etc)

Russia is far more unified across ethnic lines than people give it credit for. It's not going to pull a Yugoslavia and erupt into genocide as soon as Putin croaks. That said, it's nowhere near as unified as the US (where you can basically count on any immigrant group becoming functionally "American" in 2 generations).
Yeah. No offense to TPMs, PMs, or EMs just doing their job. I meant people who pass the buck.
> Not to defend CPP-copy-paste, but MIPS has always been an open architecture (it is even open source now, you can get CPU verilog code from them).

I don't know that it has always been completely open. They have had licensees in the past, and it has been opened then closed at least once in the past, by the looks.

At any rate I don't really know what the status of the MIPS architecture is or its owners' relationship with the LoongArch people. I'm not suggesting they are in breach of copyright or any private agreements with them.

But it really is just MIPS. They tidied up a few minor things like delay slots, and adding some basic vector stuff, and tweaked instruction encodings. Then rebranded the whole thing and did copy-paste jobs on large swaths of code when submitting their architecture "ports".
So Russia should follow US IP law but pay for warcrimes unlike the US? Why is it only when it is good for the west that other countries should follow the same rules?
Exactly. The only reason NATO isn't in Ukraine and kicking the invaders out right now is because Ukraine isn't a NATO member. Meanwhile, NATO has been very clear about defending every inch of their member's territory. That's a very convincing argument for Russia's neighboring countries. I live in one of them, and I've been against a NATO membership until now, because I ruled out the possibility of war in Europe in my lifetime. I was wrong.
The mantra of free asphalt is tied to the fact that you had to advance exactly $0 capital to get that highway built, maintained and ready to go. You mention that you don’t really care to consult pricing strategy for taxation.. I think that is sort of case in point? I’m guessing most logistics trucking pass a fuel surcharge along to the customer anyway.
The older I get, and the more experience I have with the world. I know that rain water caused the split but I am also popping popcorn in my shelter as I wait for Tamamo-no-Mae's first move.
Anecdotally, in my experience you are just as likely to be banned / shadowbanned on these kinds of "free speech" networks as well. The only thing that changes is who is pressing the keys and what message they want you to hear. I think referring to them as such is problematic.
How about setting the title to something like “Goosh: the Google Shell”? It’d sure be nice to have some indication before clicking of what the link is about.
That might not be enough. On 64-bit linux, both int and long are 32 bits.
Chechen wars (both of them), deserve to be known more widely in the west.

My comment was specific to your quote.
Yeah ww3 is looking more likely. I guess deagle was right.

This is an unrestricted submarine warfare moment
It's more comparable to:

int add(int x, int y) { return (2*x + 2*y) / 2; }

If ints are 32 bit you would expect to be able to add 1 to 2^20, but that causes an overflow with this implementation. (low + high) / 2 is arguably worse because you turn the algorithm from working on any array into one that only works on arrays that are small enough not to cause the overflow.
> Makes sense because as a heater they're very efficient.

Resistive heat (like a light bulb or space heater) is terribly inefficient. Resistive heat up high (in a ceiling or on a light) is even worse than resistive heat at ground level, because the heat escapes the dwelling without heating the occupants in the room much.
So much propaganda in this thread.
No. Rust can not prevent this bug.

The bug is that they are reusing (or, repurposing) an already-allocated-and-used buffer and forgot to reset flags. This is a logic bug, not a memory safety bug.

In fact, this might be a prime example of "using Rust does not magically eliminate your temporal bugs because sometimes they are not about memory safety but logical". Before that my favorite such bug is a Use-After-Free in Redox OS's filesystem codes.

Pro tip for random HN Rust evangelist: read the fucking code before posting your "sHoUlD HAVe uSED A BeTTER lANGUAGE" shit.
> On Reddit this means that I manage to close the thread by accident all the time because someone thought it would be a good idea to open the threads in a modal that closes when you click outside of it.

The whole point of modals is to enable the user to close them by clicking outside of them. So this way if you want to show new users something like an onboarding tutorial, they can just click outside of the modal if they are like "WTF is this??", rather than needing to look for the close button. The fact that many people abuse them doesn't negate the fact that they are, if used correctly, actually a better experience for the user.
Stadia actually worked pretty well the first time I tried it an I played a few games no issues, but the first time I tried Xbox Cloud Gaming, I got display artifacts and my computer locked up. The Windows Store Apps and especially the Xbox app sucks compared to steam and have very little going for them.
Yes I don’t mean to target anyone with real uses for a truck, more those using them to commute. I personally find myself wanting one all the time as a homeowner but can’t seem to justify it personally for the two or three times a year I would actually use it!
The ask for a donation at this point was a great touch too. He knew we’d had some fun by this point.
As soon as I registered my account, the comment sections seemed to hold less importance/meaningful content. Perhaps because I started paying more attention to them?

It's a small thing, but I'm working on making myself read less of them now. The further past the left 1/3rd of my 21:9 monitor a comment starts, the less value I'm going to get from reading it, generally.

If I find my screen filled with comments at that depth, and can't quickly scroll past them, ctrl-W is usually the best remedy.
Also the kindles use significantly less light that aren’t emitted directly into your eyes (rather up/down on the screen). That’s what I thought this study was at first. I have a non illuminated kindle for years and I’m wondering the same thing for when I inevitably have to replace it. A built in warm & dim light is convenient especially if it doesn’t adversely affect things. If not back to candles for me!

Look at the two lines from the parent comment that I quoted.
Not 100% about this guess that I have but if its "free" it probably means that they calculated that they have x% extra server availability and they provide that for "free". Google Colab makes it obvious when they provide you a GPU but I don't know about Microsoft.
Does everybody know the duality of "Gee Whiz BASIC" and "Gordon Whitten BASIC"?
Yes but you have to understand that this part of Putin's calculus. It would give him time to re-assess the military options, clean up a military mess that resulted from unrealistic expectations, prepare the next aggression more carefully, kill key figures of the Ukrainian government (he prefers poison), divide the West, and give him a better international position when he attacks next ("they broke our agreement"). Putin would likely calculate that by constantly threatening the West with nuclear war he could prevent Ukraine from joining NATO and later replace the Ukrainian government by a puppet regime as originally planned.

It would be an extremely bad deal for Ukraine.
Your small town can just make it a hassle to drive a large truck through. Bollards, bump outs with bollards, protected pedestrian crossings (with bollards). Bollards are key because trucks will willing destroy landscaping or hard scape, need something that will damage the truck.

Also important to give truckers a quality alternative route to avoid the more sensitive parts of town. Lots of solutions available if town council wants to explore.
i don't use an ipad, i use a kindle pw2, but i feel like i can get to sleep quicker when reading than if i just plop down into bed and close my eyes.
Well you can replace the USB ports and a headphone jack by "breaking third-party MDM features" if you care THAT much about differentiating between the operating system and hardware (not that you should, because they're the same damn company). MDM features, like USB ports, are way more important that esoteric keybinds from the 1980s.

> Macs still have headphone jacks, too.

Oh, by Apple's grace, I am so thankful!

Don't worry. This isn't a piety test.
Dear ImGui
Mearsheimer completely ignores the agency of small European countries and makes the classic IR mistake of assuming that what might be 'rational' behaviour for a state in a Realist sense is also correct behaviour.

You can use Realism to predict that Russia would eventually try to regain the power it lost over Eastern Europe and the Baltics with the dissolution of the USSR. In fact that very understanding and fear is precisely why countries in Eastern Europe and the Baltics pushed so hard to join NATO and the EU, because they predicted that would happen.

But that doesn't make Russia's actions the right move, either legally or morally. They have agency too and could always have made the choice to not to try to act like an empire with violent hegemony over their neighbours.
The high res version has a crappy DR, which is not expected, which means the only way to get a good digital version is to rip from vinyl. I understand the need to cater for low-end consumer equipment. It can be done by having good DR for vinyl , a good DR version for high-res Flac and physical Hybrid SACD and physical CD, and a loudness version for lossless/lossy streaming. It is safe to say most people who listen to Hybrid SACD/CD/High-Res Flac will have sufficient hi-fi equipments.
When is a no-fly zone not a no-fly zone? When it’s an airlift
Another example of this:

Bird sanctuaries are harmed by the ban in some ways (though in the meantime they've no doubt found alternatives) because incandescent bulbs make great heaters.[1]

Then people will make a complex device that hooks in where the LED/LCD grid does and converts the signals intended to drive the panel into a video feed for recording. And making a device that directly takes the output of a Bluetooth device's DAC (or even grabbing the digital output directly) should be even trivial.
My anecdotal two-cents:

I will stay up nearly indefinitely in bed if I read my phone or iPad. Read the same material on my Kindle Paperwhite and it can be difficult to stay awake more than a few minutes.

I don’t know if it has anything to do with the difference in screen types, as my Kindle does have a backlight but it is so night and day for me, I am predisposed to believe anything that states there is a mechanism for my experience.
If it didn't get approved by the US Senate (and, hint hint, the Budapest Memorandum didn't) then the treaty is not binding on the US. Other countries need to stop taking anything the US says or promises in international relations seriously until it goes through the senate. And admittedly, the US needs to stop making promises until it's sure it has the needed votes in the senate first.
1) This does not explain 'bad behaviour' it explains 'selfish behaviour'.

2) People are moral and have a sense of fairness. This is actually far more common than not. While it's hard to get people to talk with their pocket book - guess what - they do want to spend money on social things, so long as they don't feel it and of course, people hate corruption. So transparency there is helpful.

I was expecting a thing about how the most ragged, boorish politicians make a name for themselves. We all know the names of the 'loudmouths' in Congress, but most of us do not know the reasonable Senators who actually do a lot of work. I think that deserves a story.
I've been doing consulting for that kind of thing for running cost as fast as possible on "embedded" (raspberry pi-level) hw
Yes, but repetitive 65 headlines + 'fun facts' really isn't a small number, and also a far cry from the advertised '5 headlines'.
I think the fear of being suicided by a bullet to the back of the head is much more scarier than Cams, online tracking and firewalls.
A 13 year old me brought down the entire showcase of Kmart's PCs with this program back in the 80's. Good times.
What would be cool is to flip it. Press the button to get a few minutes of browsing allowed. Then, make the button deliver an electric shock upon being pressed. I bet you'd soon stop pressing it
The Supreme Court under Chief Justice Roberts has made several high-profile rulings in line with this kind of thinking. They've punted a few cases on the grounds that it's the job of Congress to fix certain types of problems and Congress needs to get its act together.
Just let gas prices be higher than we are used to, people will figure it out for themselves. Blame it on Russia, Saudi Arabia, ramp up local production and call it a day.

I recently sold my large luxury SUV in exchange for a smaller sedan ( that happens to be electric). I’ve always thought I needed a large SUV to do the things I want to do, so far nothing is changed. I personally made a huge quantum leap in personal vehicle choice, tesla convinced me, but frankly the new car could’ve been a more mundane sedan and still saved me a fortune. Lots of low hanging fruit out there if gas prices really are “too high“
Gasoline is a big trigger because it's a variable expense for people living on the edge of what they can afford.

People are really bad at risk management. So when you have a couple pulling in $200k/yr with some crazy mortgage on their $800k house, commuting 30 miles in their 17mpg SUVs, each $1 in gasoline cost increase adds $150/mo in monthly expenses.

There are lots of people like this, many of whom are in weird stress situations already because of issues with COVID and school, etc.
They sure as hell have to do that, it's basic journalistic integrity. These people could directly sit at their FSB office and you'd never know. You don't know who does it, who pays for, and you don't have the slightest clue how to fact-check their "arguments."
I'll say one positive thing about flash: the idea of semi-visual programming on the web being gone is a loss. Not only is it a much more accessible way to develop things for a much wider audience, it's also a relatively productive way to develop.

Before that, Java applets failed and after that, Silverlight failed. 25 years ago I was visually programming desktop apps in Delphi. Drag and drop, advanced layout mechanisms, rich library of standardized UI controls, advanced data binding, you name it.

It's quite ridiculous how we anti-progressed since then. Now we're back to text files and terminals. Weird frameworks to fill the gaps of the web but none really have batteries included. There's no language library in JS, nor is there a UI library. You all have to glue it together and hope it works. Not even the development flow is standardized, it's multiple tools stitched together each of which having 7,000 dependencies. Knowledge is also not portable, nobody is able to maintain that 7 year old Angular project and newbies have no idea where to start.

It adds up to the #1 issue in our industry: low productivity. We've positioned ourselves into a garbage development ecosystem that is very hard to understand whilst outputting little, both in quantity and quality.

This issue is much bigger than poor tools. These poor tools means billions are wasted on an ongoing basis reinventing the exact same thing over and over. It means knowledge is not sticky, so there's a huge cost in re-learning things. It means a lot of creative people are locked out of development, as it's too intimidating to them.

"See, this tree-shaken bundle gets loaded and then rehydrates the server response, after which state is in the store and you just work on your component but be mindful of its side effects and dependencies as your re-render has to be a pure function, kind of like the reducers in your store, which are similar to actions but not really. Told you it was easy."
Is that difference in stress universal across English dialects? I thought there were some dialects that stressed nouns and verbs with the same spelling in the same way.
In those countries, the wife/mother of the family doesn’t work outside the home and handles childcare and elder care inside the home.

Not taking a stand on what’s the best structure, but that’s the “somehow” you’re referring to.
And some of those Russians are Russian National Unity.
One of em was governor of breakaway Donbas too after leading it's militia

Then there's Kadrykov who with his calling for the killing of jews doesn't march far from that line of thinking.

And Putin who funded a myriad of far-right and neo nazi groups across europe for the past 2 decades.
Ah, I guess my thinking is that they didn't really focus on it. It was annoying but not high priority ... until they started to get an inkling of what was actually going on.
What you find is intuitive is only what you learned, and it’s fine to hold that opinion, but it is contrary to what I have learned. For all the criticisms I can and do levy against Apple, not arbitrarily redefining the control scheme that their customers have used for almost 40 years is a mark of respect. Every single keyboard shortcut can be easily redefined to be whatever you want it to be as well, including those of the Finder, through the Keyboard pane in System Preferences. People who find that they can’t get used to hitting Command instead of Control can even just flip the modifier key bindings with ease there on a per Keyboard basis.

Lastly, it’s not “Enter”, that’s actually a separate key binding in some circumstances, but “Return”. Return is a text entry action that typically enters a new line, and by default, begins (and ends) a file rename operation in the Finder; one of the very few functions in which text entry is involved at all in the Finder.

Gaming in particular is an area where I think most marketplaces have gotten their act together. I don’t hesitate to buy games through Steam or the Microsoft store.

Games are easy to pay for, fast to download and I know at least steam and Epic have a very reasonable refund policy (if you have less than 2 hours of playtime they will refund you without issue). I’ve used this a couple times for games that either had many technical issues on launch or I didn’t like the mechanics of the game.

The only game store that is absolutely terrible in all of this is EA/Origin who have a very buggy and slow client. I just avoid their games as a result.
