"Pyrra Technologies, a cybersecurity and threat intelligence company, said the first mention of biolabs came on the far-right social network Gab on Feb. 14, 10 days before the invasion. The user included an awkwardly worded graphic, titled “Exclusive US biolabs in Ukraine, and they are financed at the expense of the US Department of Defense.”

The post largely sat idle for days. Welton Chang, the CEO of Pyrra, said posts about biolabs on the top 15 far-right social networks numbered in the single digits in the days before Russia’s invasion. But on Feb. 24, the day Russia began its invasion, the number of posts about biolabs on English-language far-right websites skyrocketed into the hundreds and only grew in the days after."
Did you have success with that eventually? I tried doing that a few years ago and gave up entirely, convinced myself that it was an impossible task and that the thought that I could was a misunderstanding of how Bluetooth works.
Yes but it can tie your hands promotion wise.
Thank you for this breakdown. It wasn't clear to me at first what was going on from OP's link.
I do this (kind of too), but instead of an interactive rebase I just do a `git reset --soft <target_branch>`, where target_branch is the local (and up-to-date) copy of my target branch. That gets me one clean commit that I can force push up to replace my branch @ remote.

(This works for me because auditing commit history is not important where I work, if it were I would organize commits better.)
> Interestingly, the surgeon published a post-mortem case report titled "Managing in Flight Emergencies"

Literally NOT a post mortem
This is the key phrase from the Appeals court decision:

https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.cand.33...

> Defendants' representation that ONgDB is a "free and open source" version of Neo4j® EE was literally false, because Section 7 of the Sweden Software License only permits a downstream license to remove "further restrictions" added by an upstream license to the original work.

It makes sense to me that if the court believes the defendants had no license to use the code at all, then describing it as any "licensed" version would be improper, whether their product was released under a "free and open source" license or even some other kind of license.

I don't fully understand the second part of the sentence about removing the restriction, but I think the court is just explaining why the defendants have no license.

> The court did not care to define open source, except to clarify that a license used previously by the Plaintiff is an open source license, and a license used subsequently is not.

In the Appeals Court decision I didn't see anything affirming that the Plaintiff's license (the text of which is AGPL + Commons Clause) was "open source". EDIT: There's more in the trial court decision.
Nothing to see here, move along.

The only thing it really addresses about the licensing, is that the license permits downstream users to remove additional terms added by upstream licensees. So original licensing of the licensor (adding the Commons Clause) is not allowed to be removed by a licensee as it doesn't fit the definition of an additional term.
Can we please, please, please stop calling statistical regressions "algorithms"? This is getting out of hand.
As I understand this (which arguably I don't), what sets bring to the table (so to say) is a notion of unique identification

That said, I wonder if it's at all possible to replace sets (to do all which is founded on sets) with a simple untyped lambda calculus (which I think is "functions at their most abstract") and then re-build mathematics on top of that?

I suppose the idea would be to define sets in terms of lambdas and then show all the set axioms etc...

This occured to me when I noticed that 'standard' set theory defines functions in terms of sets. If sets can be constructed (defined) in terms of lambdas (and types?), then yes to my own question.
Yes, if you're working with documents a lot it is. Word docs are not portable and people don't like them because they can be changed easily, not to mention not everybody has Word. You also can't display them in inline in a browser.
Note that wifi cards can be extremely sensitive, with >100dB link budget -- that means that even if microwave oven door suppresses 99.99999999% of power (that's 10 nines!), the link can still be established.

(In one of the past jobs I designed wifi test rig that checks wifi card behavior during link loss. We had each end be in its own expensive highly RF shielded boxes, and we still had to set TX power to very low power to induce link loss)
Nothing works well for large documents not even word but it’s the best
The court decision directly declares this false. The fact that AGPL+Commons makes code source-available (the source code is publicly available) but not open-source (https://opensource.org/osd) is the false advertising claim in question. If you were to design a source-available nonfree product, and call it 'open source', this court would find you guilty of false advertising. Not that this should come as a surprise, as the OSI definition has every right to be authoritative, given that the people who started the OSI literally invented the term.
I still do not understand why you have to pay for so many products on Mac Os that are just builtin in most other operating systems (DEs).

There is a free version of the app, BUT if you dont want to use the default shortcuts with the default sizes you must pay 9.99€.

But I do not agree alarmism feeds inaction and disdain. I want geoengineering to happen now. I want more surveys of the ocean seafloor like the study of this post. It would be great if someone could prove that negative feedbacks are going to offset the positive feedbacks like albedo change in the arctic. The IPCC has consistently underestimated the rate changes are accelerating and I'm extrapolating. I don't mind if people do more science to prove my extrapolations are way off.
This forgets MS:

MS: "Let's design it so either it never breaks or if we can't avoid that we'll just add a FooEx or Foo2 method call"

This is why so many Win32 methods take structs that have a size parameter that must be filled in. That acts as a version parameter. That's not to say they haven't had ABI fun moments... glares at COM.
I really wish they would give definitions (or at least link to a dictionary) for all guessed words after playing - especially for all the clones like quordle/octordle where they often use weird words. I would send feedback but there's no contact information on any of these games.
I was involved as mentor with BuiltByGirls for a while but I ended up dropping out. I had too many matches that blew me off, or wouldn't respond to emails, or just disappeared. I was averaging like 50% drop-out rate which just screams that it was not worth my time.
It can be better. I am no mac user but from what I have seen, Apple's excel competitor has this concept that instead of an excel tab being a single grid, it is a canvas on which you can add tables, charts, etc. As a fairly advanced excel user, this makes so much more sense than Excel's approach.

VBA is kind of a wart in Office, hasn't been updated since 1998. They made an attempt of integrating a mini visual studio in Office with C#/VB.net (VSTA), then killed it.

I see many no code alternative poping up (Microsoft power suite, alteryx, etc). But all have a pretty steep learning curve, and frankly the people who are willing to invest the time to learn them migh as well pick up SQL or even python for the same effort.
"s" is status view, which you can also get at by running "tig status" directly.

"c" is staging view.

You can also revert a chunk or file by using "!". Sometimes this is very useful.

There is a concern among right wing people that by placing more and more people in government housing and programs, they will vote more and more in favor of state and federal power from promise of funding and/or more personal support, which will place people in powerful positions that see no issue with eroding and diluting the power of the US's constitutional freedoms (btw I don't see individual freedom as bollocks or a direct reason for higher prices on housing, see the local government building regulations that for economic, environmental, nimbyism, but mostly to retain prices of housing for existing home owners or ensure a luxury condo is still profitable after it's construction).
You are absolutely correct that the powers that be despise the 4th amendment along with most of the bill of rights that are designed to protect individuals from government by limiting it's ability to intervene. Even today you can see otherwise innocuous groups of people socially being labeled as "domestic terrorists" in the US for opposing restrictions on a whole array of government laws and programs that they see as overreaching and infringing on their constitutional rights.
there wasn't just stimulus though. There were a whole host of things, pause on loan payments, child tax credits, rental assistance, small business loans ect ect.

I think just speaks to the age we live in now; everything has to be relentlessly analyzed. When Wolfenstein came out in the early 90s, nobody cared that the villains were Nazis. When a reboot came out some years ago, suddenly there's a need for 'discourse' about historical accuracy, and whether the Nazis deserve to be killed in a fictional game, and why there side of the story isn't emphasized.

Users are flagging your posts, not moderators.

I haven't looked closely to see why they're doing that, but it's definitely not a good idea to create additional accounts to repost the flagged story. It will only provoke the community into producing the same result faster.

There have also been plenty of large negative discussions about Stripe recently, so that isn't it.
Libreoffice only does a mediocre job of rendering Word documents. There are a number of cases where it really mangles things. An example would be some types of bulleted lists or indentation.
my point is, if you dont flag bad code and fix it during code review because "it's workable when you have the right tools", then that code isn't going to improve, and it will slowly accrue technical debt for which the IDE will no longer be an adequate solution.

but, yes, this is me being idealistic. i get that this probably wont happen much in practice.
Please do go on! I'd love to hear more of you thoughts on better menus or better info architecture.

I have a project that could have many menu items, and the sausage is an interesting idea but not common/well known enough that I'd want to use it. Tabs might work.

For many websites, there are SEO implications to having menu links (or so we are lead to believe) so I think ridiculous menus are sometimes partly a consequence of optimizing for SEO.

I think it is so cool how the popularity of Wordle has opened the door to so many games that expand on the concept. It is like it created a shared expectation for how games like this can work that has now been adapted and expanded by so many different creators. I don't think any of the variants would be as popular without the original being as culturally prevalent as it is.

If you want to try one more I made squareword (https://squareword.org) which features a 5x5 grid of letters, featuring five words down and five across. Like a combination of sudoku and Wordle.

A trained model, which is obviously the subject here, is an algorithm.
Right now, there is an ongoing discussion between a huge variety of stakeholders -- CO2 removal startups/companies, academics, regulators, 3rd-party verification standard-setting bodies, etc. -- to figure out what kind of life cycle analyses (LCAs) are required at the planning stages, and what verification frameworks will be needed post-capture/sequestration stages, to ensure that CO2 removal from air is removing more CO2 than it emits.

In many of these discussions, and in the studies/analyses which drive them, moving to cleaner sources of energy makes a lot more sense given the total CO2 removed vs. CO2 produced/embodied in the system.

It is a complicated question and it really depends on what temperatures your process requires, where in the world you decide to build your removal system, if cleaner energy is available there (& at what cost), how you need to compress/store/transport the CO2 so it can be injected or converted into something else, and so on. Cleaner energy like geothermal, solar, nuclear, hydro, etc. are not always co-located near the best injection sites and there are questions of whether DAC is the best usage for cleaner energy resources vs. for general grid deployment.

To make a very long story short, cleaner energy makes CO2 removal a lot more sensible to pursue at scale, so that is where we are aiming as we think about the long-term system design.

That is typically only sequestering the carbon for 20-50 years. In the end, the house is torn down, or the furniture burned. Very little lasts for more then a century, and basically nothing lasts for more than a millennia.

Deep underground sequestration is the only viable strategy if your goal is total CO2 reduction in the atmosphere.
As you pay council tax as a tenant, it is a bit different from a property tax. Is more of a services tax. Also the valuation used is often very outdated and I believe regressive.

As a mobile developer I generally see WEBP getting served to Android devices and HEIC to Apple devices. Is there any advantage to JPEG XL over those?

If our app supported older iOS devices, maybe JPEG would be needed as a fallback, but it seems like JPEG XL wouldn't be compatible with old devices anyway, right?
This is an awesome introduction to video coding, though it’s thin on motion compensation: https://users.cs.cf.ac.uk/Dave.Marshall/Multimedia/node259.h...

An elucidating exercise is to use python to do a DCOS or wavelet transform on an image and then quantize it to look at the results. It’s a few hundred lines of code if that and gives you a solid idea of the significance of working in the frequency domain and how that makes compression much easier.
Is there a risk that sequestered CO2 gets released later by accident?

Have you looked into sequestering it into calcium carbonate? It's extremely stable and harmless to the environment. Just sink it to the bottom of the ocean with all the other sea shells.
The way I deal with this is
1. try to make commits small enough so you are less likely to split them after the fact.
2. when I need to split a commit, I use VSCode UI and apply patch by patch. This is one of the rare case were I use a GUI for git. For most other things the command line is fine.
What a terrible filter. The chances the interview is in a different location is quite high.
Back in college when I was taking Digital Image Processing class we discussed h.264. Truly impressive technology no doubt. This article goes in much more detail about it, job well done.
Sure, if a specific feature of Classic Google Sites was used and is now different or was not merged to the New Google Sites, it's a matter of opinion.

But that's what I mean. I cannot account for all of the services you mentioned, but there is still Google Sites, there is still Google Workspace as the G Suite successor, many of the My Maps features were just moved to Google Maps. The hardware line of phones is now Pixel instead of Nexus. Obviously it evolved from Nexus and there is stuff from Nexus that didn't make it to Pixel. But if this is what we're talking about, every single tech company on the planet is "killing" stuff every time they release a new version of soft- or hardware.

Those are just examples off the top of my head. There are things that Google "killed" & I loved Google+, I used the URL shortener regularly, and the end of Google Reader was a tragedy (probably the one Google product I personally miss), but this huge list isn't a very fair depiction, IMHO.
The issue, based on my read, is that lots of existing applications, many of whom are proprietary and may not be supported by their vendors, _depend_ on ABI stability, and a break cause these applications to simply fail, for what appears like no good reason (how many businesses care that their legacy app broke because of supporting a niche CPU architecture?). That's the big issue here, and the historical reason for caution.
The OSI founders are (some of) the inventors of the term Open Source. It'd be like telling Ken Thompson he's wrong about what constitutes Unix Philosophy. Or, for that matter, the Free Software Foundation that they're wrong about what constitutes Free Software.

I think this is the right answer, compared with something the grandgrandparent touched upon: windows apps from third party vendors do not act as competitive advantage anymore. (This us also due to how Windows OEM contracts work.)
I was just responding to the stack traces bit, no argument about the exploit potential.
I want to be excited about this, but it's capturing CO2 as CO2 gas, not sequestering CO2 in a form that keeps it out of the atmosphere.

If you pay a lot of money in process and power to pull CO2 out of the atmosphere or out of exhaust gases and then use it in chemical processes other than ones which sink the carbon into long lasting solid, liquid, or oceanic absorption form you're just burning money and power to make yourself feel good, you aren't actually denting the global climate change problem because all that CO2 will just end up back in the atmosphere once it's been used in the industrial processes.

You also can't use storage of gaseous (or liquid) CO2 as a way to sequester climatically meaningful amounts of CO2. We've added around 600 billion tons of CO2 to that atmosphere since 2000. If we want to use sequestration to roll back the changes we've done to the atmosphere, we almost certainly need to sequester at least that much, if not more out of the atmosphere. Do a quick calculation on how big a set of storage tanks you need to hold that amount of gaseous or liquid CO2, and compare that volume to the volume of a mountain (or mountain range) near you. Then think about maintaining those tanks in perpetuity and you'll see why you have to get the CO2 stashed in solid or room temperature stable liquid form.

I'm by no means critical or dismissive of this tech, it sounds great, but we're still a long way from pulling off the sequestration that's actually needed at the scale that's needed.
i believe the slideshow issue is actually a limitation of the apple tv's apis having changed around the time that the aerial screensaver came out and not getting updated to support the old screensaver functionality
It's not a terrible solution, but you need specific trees of specific thicknesses for it to be possible at all (and these aren't always the same trees best suited for rapid growth). Selecting the most carbon-intensive plants and then turning them into biochar is probably better for long-term sequestration.

I don't know how expensive the Bay Area may be, but 50K in London (3100 per month) are barely enough to pay rent (2000 per month) and definitely not enough to send a child to nursery (2000 per month).
Western censorship as well, to be fair.
As I said in my grand-child reply, I don't use almost any Windows-only tools on a daily basis.

As to strategy: If they want people to buy their app, and they're getting all of this great publicity, then "branching out" later will have missed an opportunity to market to Windows users. Heck, Windows users will likely be turned off by their heavy "Can a native Mac code editor really be that much better?" marketing message...

I know I won't be likely to try out their app ever. I mean, if I wanted to go with a well-supported, fast, and clean editor, I'd just use Sublime.

Nova seems to be specifically targeting the Mac-snob crowd as their main selling point, and I don't think that deserves the front page of HN.
No, it wasn't. It was a valiant attempt I think, but Yahoo users as a whole are definitely not the people you want answering any question. Then again, look at Quora which doesn't have that handicap but is still a dreadful experience.

A trained model is a set of rules to go from, for example, an image to a tag identifying the object it shows.

That's an algorithm. It is not "statistical regression", even if that is the method that was used in its creation.

The whole its-just-statistics-shtick is what's getting out of hand. People are just mindlessly repeating the point because it seemed smart when it was first made. Hint: it no longer does, especially if you use it wrong.
