And auto-updater tells me that I have version 1.0 and there is a new version 1.0.0 . And if I try to update, there is an update error.

It is also a bit confusing if you buy it, because you go to download and can then decide to download for trial or purchase. If you purchase, you just get a screen with the key. But no download. It is not nessasary clear, that the trial is also the main download.

And after purchasing, there is no invoice.
I bought one off amazon, made in china. It turn out to be a good chair but it did put a pressure on my thighs. So I bought a seat cushion and boy that changed everything.

Ask HN: Why are you sorting by new?
I primarily read through the front page because of the vast number of new HN posts. But people who sort by new are actually deciding what eventually ends up on the front page.
I'd trust each subject matter expert to report their 'beat' more accurately than some random author. Of course, 'it is ever the province of specialists to overstate their domain.' This nihilist argument that all journalists are generating nothing but fake news and lying is disingenuous in general. I understand healthy scepticism but dismissal of all news isn't a good idea. Being aware of biases is good, yes, but outright nihilism, no.
I think you are confused with the idea "the romans invented the steam engine but only used it as a toy" which semi-misleadingly refers to the Aeolipile.
So the "measured" mass is not a single value but a set of samples with varying masses? And those samples have a standard deviation from the theoretical value?

I agree. Hypothetically speaking, are there any betting markets that would allow a person to "short" this issue? I think we all know this will never happen.

If only there was one around here, but alas, they're all basically the same 2-3 ISPs - a couple of main ISPs, then smaller ones who are just using their network and renting bandwidth.

The book "Bio-Inspired Artificial Intelligence" is a good introduction [1,2 ] to a range of techniques.

Nah, there's a boom and bust cycle to these industries. Prices go up, everyone exploits new wells and pours in money. Prices go down and a ton of folks go broke because the new wells are too expensive. You don't need any sort of cartel arrangement - the large companies and investors just learned their lesson after being burned a bunch of times.
I recently overheard a Facebook employee who was on a date explaining how cool the Metaverse is and how it's going to change the world. It was really weird and cringy to hear. It's clear he's been drinking the Facebook Kool aid.

The same thing happened to me working at Microsoft a long time ago. You spend so much time on campus, around other Microsoft people, and you feel like you're at the best company in the world and you're working on the most amazing things. I was convinced Internet Explorer was going to become the top browser again because of how it's JavaScript engine could tap into GPUs better on Windows due to better GPU drivers and how it could do things no other browsers could because of Windows OS integration possibilities. Inside Microsoft, we "knew" Internet Explorer was coming back. The illusion got shattered in my mind about a week after leaving. It was really weird. I had obviously drank the Kool aid too.
Very true. The same house I just sold in Calgary for 400k is worth 1.2M in Vancouver and area. Which is why there is so much money coming from Vancouver and the GTA to Calgary and Alberta.
The "This Person Does Not Exist" was pretty striking, but with all these copycats (a bench now? really?), it's getting a little silly.
Perl was a vastly more complex language than Rust. It was literally trying to build something with the complexity and ad-hoc features of natural language out of random symbols. It's not surprising that it didn't work very well.

The more complex the underlying semantics you're working with, the more verbose and less symbol-driven your language should be. You can see this clearly with things like COBOL, which tried to integrate every feature that might ever be needed for business programming within its base language - a staggering amount of complexity. English-like syntax kept that workable.
>Why do you keep removing the word if and telling me I'm assuming things?

Not only was acknowledging your "if" statement, I was quoting you directly in previous replies. The issue is that you're whole argument hinges on a conditional that, if anything, is the exception rather than the rule.

If you heard a politician propose a policy that said "We can abolish the [insert arbitrary govt oversight organization here] because it isn't needed if people are rational, ethical actors", what would your reaction be? While that statement may still be true, the underlying assumption is flawed: people cannot be counted on to be rational or ethical in many circumstances. Likewise, your underlying assumption that decisions are made with our rational brain is not the general rule. Despite what we'd like to think, Region 2 governs our decisions and plans. Again, if your assumption was true, there would be no problem with a person making lunch plans if they had a damaged limbic system. Research shows otherwise, so either the research is flawed or your underlying assumption is flawed.

>unless you're treating plan maker and plan decider as the same thing? I was already leaving it open for region 2 to be the decider

Yes, I meant them to be the same, sorry if my terminology caused confusion. My point is the the plan decision/making is not initiated by our rational mind as a general rule. It's not that Region 2 "decides" and then Region 3 weighs that decision to figure out how to execute it. It's that Region 2 "decides" and Region 3 makes up a story so that the decision is congruent with our mental models. My Region 2 decides it wants a doughnut and my Region 3 says "Yeah, you've worked out hard this morning so the doughnut isn't necessarily unhealthy." Region 3 has ensured my decision is congruent with my mental model that I'm a hard worker who deserves a reward. That's easier than confronting a mental model where I'm a fatty who lacks willpower. Region 3 is our logic center so it will jump through hoops to make sure our mental models and decisions are logically consistent.

Your "if" statement can be true, while also being largely inconsequential because the underlying conditional is not the general rule. This creates some irony in you underscoring that my point is irrelevant if your statement is about real world application.
> Neither Xbox or PS2 are emulated at a cycle level though

Yet... Like I said, you can get pretty far with low-levels of accuracy. PS2 emulation is actually quite timing sensitive.

I have at least one bug in Dolphin that I investigated, that can't get fixed correctly until we get significantly better GPU timings. And also some speed-running strategies that rely on generating enough lag, but don't work in dolphin because it (usually) emulates the CPU and GPU way too fast.
OK, great discussion in here about hype and toxic positivity.

Does anyone beleive this would have worked if they went with a Leander team and decreased spend? Made a simple MVP and tried to slowly grow?

Just wondering. I feel their idea is pretty mediocre and some very similar solutions already exist. The basic pitch 'one click buying for grandma' is not something I would enable for my parents or my grandmother - they'd just buy too much crap on qvc like sites.
This is why these measures have to be taken with a grain of salt (but are still useful).

Probability is subjective, in this case because it's dependant on the design of the experiment / quality of the analysis of that experiment to determine a p-value of a given result.

The book "Bayesian analysis in high energy physics" is a short and sweet introduction. If I got the title wrong I'll update it later.

I’m not deep enough into the culture to know whether disputing, or simply asking for explanation, of a downvote is “bad form”, but i would bet that using downvotes as an alternative to a cogent rebuttal is considered “worse form”. And there’s no way to counter it except to do as gp did and call it out, asking for explanation. Unfortunately the downvoter is unlikely to ever offer an explanation. So the gp and others like him (myself at times) relies on the crowd to figure out whether or not there’s a misunderstanding. Discouraging that, when the downvote is seemingly arbitrary, doesn’t help the situation at all.

How else can a downvoted commenter, and bystanders, learn?
You can absolutely ship a game with blueprints. The performance drop is relatively minor. There are some things that are impossible to do in blueprints, but many games will not need them, or can just handle that small % in c++, which is what I do. Specifically I refer to complicated rpc stuff.

> To illustrate this create a blueprint for a simple C++ loop with a dozen switch statements with conditionals inside each, that is a lot of mouse clicks, movements and typing. When you write code, you don't need to worry about how to organize nodes that is readable, there is no hand eye coordination of where to place your conditional node that will branch easily to a dozen or more wired connection.

For each node -> Switch nodes -> switch nodes.

Collapse the switch nodes so that you have only one master switch statement. Easy. And way way cleaner than code imo. And less time to code as you don’t need to manually specify each switch if it’s something nice like an enum?
Yeah, imagine making a calculation or transforming a complex formula with words and full sentences. Algebraic notation was a pretty big invention for a reason. For instance, the reason why we use single letters and indexes is so it's not confused with products. Try to write and manipulate the Schrodinger equation with words. Imagine solving the hydrogen atom, it already takes like 50 pages with algebraic notation...

And I don't really understand the "I didn't do math and Greek in School". I barely had a foreign language, but if you're actually learning the concept you memorize the letter as well. You can't understand what a wave function is and then not remember that its symbol is Psi. And if you don't know what a wave function is, it won't help to write derivate_2nd_order(waveFunction, time).

EDIT: obviously we're not talking about stories to teach newcomers, you're talking about writing equations in scientific articles and books with words.

This isn't emotional. People deal with censorship by their ISPs or absurd fines for petty piracy literally every day. It's actually more accurate to say that you have an emotional attachment to a particular internet architecture compared to the practical advantage that most people have if they have their traffic encrypted through an American company, which is a big step up from local ISP snooping in a large chunk of the world.

It's also not a 'unilateral decision by people who have the most power', it's an optional offering by Firefox, a non-profit open source browser with less than 5% marketshare. You're making it sound like the Illuminati just came up with this

For what it's worth, sigma is chosen for this purpose specifically to evoke the notion of "standard deviations". But quoting the std dev. directly is useless, since the distribution is unspecified. So we "convert" the statistical significance to the corresponding number of standard deviations of the Normal distribution, since that is a familiar distribution. If you like, it's another way of stating p-values, which physicists prefer because ours can have lots of zeros :)
> Am guessing they'd rather be with Russia, than the "countrymen" that have been shooting them, and bombing them.

I'm pretty sure most of them would prefer to be in Ukraine now. The Russians have been pressing men 18-64 into military service with shitty equipment, to serve as cannon fodder. The Russian's have done more to solidify Ukrainian national identity by invading their country than anything the Ukrainians could've done on their own.
The point about applications is mostly valid even if theoretically unsatisfying, but I think the thing about dice rolls is basically spurious.
Not so much where the jobs are, but where there is already a community of their own people. We have lots of jobs out west (that fact goes unrecognized by ON and QC) but hardly any immigrants in comparison to cities like Toronto.

Our gait isn't the reason humans can travel long-distance. It's that humans have more effective cooling and don't overheat in high temperatures.

In cold climates, gray wolves have advantage in ultramarathon distances, provided they don't overheat. They can maintain 5~6mph on rough surfaces. Humans maintain 4~5 mph on prepared surfaces. (Wolves are lighter and their four clawed feet have significantly better traction than our two feet.)

Any surprise we domesticated dogs? They can keep up with us. :)
Comcast in the US does (if you use your own router and configure it correctly.)

There's this goofy band of people that know just enough to bring their own router but don't understand why a misconfigured AAAA record can mess up the happy eyeballs algorithm and are convinced Comcast is "censoring" small business. It's funny and kind of sad to read comments from people who are certain their misconfigured networks are the result of some "international conspiracy" against them. That's probably why Comcast has it turned off on the routers they loan to customers.

The inscriptions are interesting. The one that reads "Dedicated with love to the memory of Alan (Alan) Hutton" reminds me that it has no understanding of what parentheses mean in a name on the inscription.
Disclaimer: didn’t downvote.

Because it contrasts something from 1979 with something from 2001 and fails to explain how this is a relevant example for the discussion.
The timeout doesn't matter much, you can periodically save to drive. I spent like a month (subjectively) training gpt2 on Colab by just letting it run for a while and save the weights to drive and then pick up from there next time. I've done the same with GANs, too over a couple of days.

> How do you know if your game will run at 60 fps if the execution times aren't accurate?

Again, this is not a console. If you rely on a specific Pentium 3's instruction timings to reach 60 fps, your game is not going to reach 60fps _on any other PC_, not even if someone has an identical CPU, since any single other difference in hardware, configuration, or even layout of the filesystem is going to matter much more.

You just can't get away with the same kinds of bug you can get away with in consoles, because even just trying ATI vs NVIDIA (or any two different brands of accelerator) is already going to be a completely different environment and timings, likely enough to trigger all those bugs (or at least more than different instruction timings will).

i.e. even the simplest of emulators (incl. a virtualizer) with a runtime cap is going to suffice for the usecase of mildly estimating a framerate based on the CPU of some era. And there's very little value to increase the accuracy of such estimation since with so wildly varying PC hardware anything you can produce is going to be irrelevant anyway.

(How to make a similar accurate-enough estimation of GPU performance is a different story).
It's been in local news for a long time now - at least august last year - Most of the coverage is in Dutch, not English.

Here is one of the few English local news items I know about:

What did happen with Drone? Haven't heard much about it recently, now that I think about it.
I don't think there's an actual shortage of production capacity; just a short term misalignment with some countries having agreed earlier to produce less so prices could go up. Oil companies in the US in particular seem sensitive to low prices as their cost is high. E.g. a lot of fracking activity stops being profitable around a 30-40$ oil price. Current prices are of course great for such companies and they probably will end up having a great year.

But lets not get carried away, these might just be short term effects and once the Saudi's and whomever else picks up the slack, prices might drop just as rapidly as they've risen. Also, the Russians might re-appear on the market if they manage to come to some diplomatic resolution. Either way, the current shortage might only be temporary and could easily turn into a surplus.

And of course a long term effect of the current high prices is an acceleration of the move to renewable energy. If you are still burning oil or gas, you are at the mercy of market prices. And that looks to be like an expensive thing right now. The long term effect of people needing less oil and gas is fierce competition among oil and gas producers for a shrinking market. So, adding more production is not really necessary if demand starts dropping instead of increasing (which it has historically done). That might be sooner rather than later.

EV production is currently millions of vehicles per year and will soon hit tens of millions of vehicles per year and eventually ICE vehicle production is going to be less than half of the market a few years later. That's a lot of petrol and diesel that won't be needed any more.
This is the correct answer.

In other words, "z sigma" means: That a result like this occurs as a statistical fluke, is just as likely as a standard-normal distributed variable giving a value above z.

Kubernetes is a good tool to run a service inside a VM and front the service with an LB. And if you ever have a need for more than that- you're ready.

I think your argument is that K8s adds a lot of complexity, but that's just not true if you're using a managed service. If all you need is a couple of workers and ingress, you're set up in a few minutes
To be fair, some of the original inscriptions have things like "in memory of David (Dave) Lister". So you can see why the model "thought" that having identical meaning names in that order would be sensible.
When you say "big L" do you mean biglaw?

If so, would love to compare notes a bit. I was a dev for a years, currently in biglaw, planning on becoming a dev again soon (and targeting bigtech).
Cars, dumb TVs, dishwashers, etc. aren't general purpose computer platforms. There's no market for running arbitrary software on them, nor do they contain a web-browser.

Smart TVs, game consoles, phones and tablets on the other hand already are general purpose computers. It is possible for someone to run whatever they want on them, be it by jumping through all the hoops or just by hosting a website. These artificial software barriers exist purely as anti-consumer rent extraction; they don't limit the functionality of the device beyond putting a price on participation.
In the US, The buyer AND the seller fees are paid by the seller. Even if you have no seller agent, you lose practically every buyer without a buyer agent because many agents will not show you a home not offering a fee. Its a shakedown.
Went through this same expedition with similar results. Two conclusions: I won’t buy a laptop with only usb-c again; and searching for thunderbolt hubs instead of usb-c hubs led to the real hardware others have mentioned (CalDigit, et al.)
