Ask HN: Can we make the font bigger for mobile view?
Hi,

I browse HN daily on my smallish Pixel 4 XL phone. The font size of important DOM elements, including the "new" hyperlink, are so tiny that I often accidentally tap the wrong element.

Can we please update the style to more modern, Bootstrapesque standards for easier consumption on mobile devices?
haha, finally I hear someone else did this. yes exactly, I enabled logging of the PPP connection and pulled the creds, I remember feeling like I could do anything after discovering this.....the good days!
For the more technically minded I think that is a great option!
1. now he's major and can be tried as such

2. they've had a long time to build a solid case against him (and probably get info on others involved on the site)

3. he actually walked into their hands
I've done one myself. In my experience, the worst part is removing sound deadening and factory undercoat.
Am I missing something or is this nonsense? The "Big Model" paper is a survey paper that summarizes the current state of the field, while the "original" paper is specific technique. The former, as a small part of the survey, describes what was presented in the original and uses the same language the authors use. Why wouldn't they? Why would they need to re-phrase the facts and methods the authors described themselves when all they're doing is giving an overview?

They are not claiming to have done something they didn't.

Same argument about copying super generic introductions like "Deep Learning has been successful at...." - does each author really need to come up with their own variation of widely accepted facts to avoid "plagiarism" ?
I found the images with gibberish text to be unsettling, it reminded me of the mimic creature at the end of Annihilation.

I’d be surprised if it was the case that the build system there is just cobbled together for the OSS version, and likely quite different from what they actually use at FB.
> Isn't the Fed taking directions from whatever administration is in power?

No, the Fed is an independent entity similar to the supreme court. The president could fire the chair and install someone new, but I don't believe that has ever been done.
> Critic reviews are prescriptive: what they think the masses should watch.

I think this really depends on the critics. Lots of critics never explicitly articulate a philosophy—or, if they do, I don't bother to seek it out—but, for one notable example, Roger Ebert explicitly subscribed to the philosophy that you should review a movie based on whether it achieves its goals, not on whether its goals are the same as your goals.
Interesting. That's only a few miles from me in McAllen. Coincidentally, the SpaceX "Starbase" facility is also only about 100 miles away as far as I know.

What I've been told by Uber drivers is that there have previously been significant military operations in the area related to combating cartels who desire to completely control border traffic.

So although the idea of searching everything or whatever they are doing is totally impractical and could result in many drivers not being able to make rent, the extensive smuggling may make things a little more complicated and difficult than people realize.

But it seems like if they try to search everything it is going to end up basically killing off some drivers and totally unrealistic.
The problem is not just that the truckers are waiting. There are lots of refrigerated trucks that burn diesel while they wait. If that diesel runs out, the food can spoil. Not to mention how inefficient it is to have refrigerated trucks sitting in the sun for 12 hours.

Do you have a source for this? Where is it stated that one cannot overpay taxes for the purpose of getting a bigger return? Many people do this as a “savings” account as they’re not very good with savings so it sort of forces them to save since they don’t have access to the money.

Interesting.

I liked Watchmen's take on a Superman-like character. Morally gray stuff like Dr. Manhattan being used to win the Vietnam War (as an analogue of nuclear weapons) and him becoming so powerful he becomes detached from mankind. Why would Superman care about us, when we are like ants to him?

There's also Red Son, a truly interesting take on... commie Superman.

But there's so many times you can tell those stories, I guess. Superman is a really boring character.
I'm running out of ways to explain myself, so I'll just reword and summarize this thread from my perspective:

I nodded along with the author until I got to the end part about reforms in the Ukrainian military. It's light, but what he says sounds overly rosy. UK Lt. Col. Glen Grant wrote a critique of Ukrainian military reform efforts in Seven Years of Deadlock: Why Ukraine's Military Reforms Have Gone Nowhere, and How the US Should Respond. (https://jamestown.org/program/why-the-ukrainian-defense-syst...)
I disagree that critic reviews are inherently prescriptive. Major blockbusters rely on cliches for the same reason that supermarket chains spend ridiculous amounts of money trying to get every store to look and feel the same: people find familiarity comforting. But to people who watch thousands upon thousands of movies this gets astoundingly boring.

Take any hobby. Literally any one of them. The people who are really into it, whatever you are thinking about, will prefer different stuff from what casual fans like.

Why do people die from erotic self-asphyxiation? Because we have a compulsion to escalate and to push things further. We need novelty. We need new stuff. We go mad if it's just the same thing over and over. At least that's true for most of us. Not everyone takes it all that far, but when you invest a significant amount of time doing one thing in particular, you're always going to want to take it to greater heights.

And that's the thing about critic reviews: they represent movie fans suffering from the cinematic equivalent of erotic self-asphyxiation. Old, tired cliches and predictable plots? No. They want something they haven't seen before. Art movies are incredibly weird, and film critics love them.

Imagine your job is rating beers. And you think pilsners are fine but super boring. But people get incredibly mad at you for dissing their favorite pilsners, and they think you're a pretentious snob for recommending imperial stouts. And they want you to give super-high ratings to ... run of the mill pilsners. That's what I imagine it's like being a film critic.
In my experience yes, critics were cringing over the "bad" movies you liked as a child. I don't think anything has changed, or that there is anything wrong with that.

Critics are paid to watch as many movies a possible, even ones they think they will hate (but obviously should keep an open mind). An average movie goer doesn't deliberately watch a movie they won't like, so there is already a disconnect.

With the internet amplifying fan culture critics are more likely to be seen as "wrong".
It has enormous cargo space for its size. It has more interior space than an FJ Cruiser, despite being 80% of the size. The stock rear seats of an Element fold flat across the windows: https://s3files.core77.com/blog/images/585272_81_61976_raLZL...

Also, there was factory-optioned camper model called the Honda Element ECamper.

Like the FJ, the Element has suicide doors allowing you to load things like wheelchairs and surfboards.

I think a big reason it has the false misconception of being washable is that there is no carpeting (except on the SC) models. It was also rated as the #1 dog-owner vehicle, which means it tends to get muddy. Honda even had a dog-utility ramp for it: https://www.hondapartsnow.com/genuine/honda~pet~ramp~kit~08l...

There's times when I want to know the inside-baseball angle of a film, that can be really interesting, but those times are rare for me (and most people, I'd wager).

When critics diverge so far from the role of answering the question "what's a movie I would enjoy" then no, they're not doing their job. I'm not sure exactly what job they're doing now, but I'd say by and large they aren't doing anything I'm interested in.

That's like having a tourist blog that only talks about places that other tourist blogs like to blog about but not places people want to visit! Not useful for the (assumed) intended audience.

This was such a perfect camping/surfing/biking car, I used to rent them off Getaround. The seats actually folded up and to the side, to make a huge amount of room on the back floor. We also slept in that back a few times when it was cold out, just threw down a pad. Check out the awesome:

https://www.core77.com/posts/61976/The-Honda-Elements-Unsung...

And not hose able, but the whole back was one continuous flat rubber mat, so it was absurdly easy to clean after you put your 2 un-disassembled bikes in the back.

It was actually a sports / active oriented car, instead of couch on wheels that all the other SUVs are.

And it might not have been for everyone, but it's a shame that a different type of car like this didn't find a market.

This would have been a great design to steal for the new but boring bronco. (I had hopes :-)).
Can also be a cover for bullshit artists. Some people take "fake it until you make it" as some kind of design for life, especially those with narcissistic tendencies.

I personally like to see a touch of humility in people I deal with. That, too, can be faked, but at least it leaves you with some idea about whether a job is going to get done.

I had no idea so many people did this, as I can't imagine wasting the time mousing around like that; so you can imagine how surprised I was at the first bug reports on gwern.net from people having problems with highlights (from the link-underlining using drop shadows, usually).

You don’t need to have millions of files to have hg performance that leaves you wanting. A few GB of repo should do the trick.

> One use of "unsafe" that was not mentioned by Nora but is important for the embedded community in particular is the use of "unsafe" to flag things which from the point of view of Rust itself are fine, but are dangerous enough to be worth having a human programmer directed away from them unless they know what they're doing.

Rust gave up this notion when they decided that mem::forget could, in fact, be safe, since even though it was initially marked unsafe it could be trivially implemented in safe code using only safe constructs from the stdlib.

We need another keyword or concept to refer to unsafeness that isn't related to UB. Some people suggested tagging unsafe with something like

// declare SummonsDemons as some kind of safety market that goes beyond preventing UB

unsafe(SummonsDemons) fn f() {
// summons demons
}

fn safecode() {
// SAFETY: the demons are cool this time
unsafe(SummonsDemons) { f() }
}

To their credit, I don't think its use-case is limited to monorepos. I've personally had a multiple GB `.git` file due to storing many data files in a repo. In retrospect, data __shouldn't__ be version-controlled, but it's sometimes the simplest solution, e.g. having a unit-test suite intake a bunch of CSV data. Eden's "a file is checked out only if opened" and "scan only modified directories" would've allowed me to avoid decoupling data from code.
Thanks for the reply, good stuff. Most of this could go into part 2 I think.

For part two I would definitely want at least some discussion around choice of authorization server. I realize a full deep dive is too much, but at least list the options (use a lib, use your own server, use third-party) with some pros and cons or something like that.

If you do go into token generation and usage, and mention JWT, do mention the requirement to verify the alg field against expected value. Just given the issues it's caused in the past.

Anyway, hope I wasn't being too negative, that wasn't my intention.
Well, regardless, AFAIK it's illegally loud according to the document linked above. So, if I'm correct, regardless of what they have to do and how much it costs they should be required to fix it.
It is a fallacy that money gets you everything you need, immediately when you need it. (Tried hiring a reputable general contractor lately?) Even a company with a war chest the size of Apple's can't hire the people they need with the desired skill set. The labor talent pool is not unlimited, and unemployment in the U.S. is at record lows.
I imagine for companies like those funding this, it's part of their bigger-picture plan to offset their carbon emissions, aiming for net zero and whatnot.
For me it is more that the CCP doesn't need to focus on the next election (but! Xi's 3rd term etc), and instead knows its continued grip on power depends on delivering good and improving quality of life for Chinese citizens as a whole. They can be very clear eyed over what short term pain is required for that long term gain.
This is probably the best way to describe it.

Notably, before smallpox wiped out most of the North American population, the continent was largely deforested. Deliberately. Bison ranged to Louisiana.

The "little ice age" after ~1500 is suspected to have been caused by the pulse of reforestation, and thus dip in carbon dioxide, occasioned by the disappearance of the long-time stewards of open range land.

In the 14th century, a very large expedition west from Africa is documented, with likelihood part of it reached South America. (One ship was separated and returned, reporting fresh water out of sight of land, suggestive of Amazon outflow.) There is ecological evidence of pre-Columbian disruption in Amazonia thereafter.
I learned a similar lesson about the difference between LATAs and area codes around the time AOL went to unlimited.

All of the Toledo numbers were constantly busy, so I tried other "local" numbers and ended up discovering that the Findlay number would usually answer. I set that as the default and thought nothing more of it, while all of us used it for hours a day.

Every file is essentially the master pointing at the same inode. So the file remains as long as any of the hard links exist. With soft links if you delete the master file all the soft links stop working.
I don't think it's too controversial to admit how irrelevant professional film critics have become. Being contradictory may be an attempt to gain some attention. I often see "hot takes" from critics where they diminish a massively acknowledged classic (like The Godfather) and praise what was traditionally considered low brow (Weekend at Bernie's). Film critics have to operate in the same clickbait-y environment like any other columnist. I think this divergence from the audience is just their version of sensationalism.
> For instance, Taken gets 59% with critics on Rotten Tomatoes. It was a hugely important and impactful film. It basically spawned/revived a whole subgenre of action film.

I wouldn't be surprised if 41% of the general population didn't much like Taken either. I've never had a desire to watch it a second time, for instance, which places it pretty far down my personal list of movies I've seen.

So you can think it's "too blue collar" or whatever, or you can think "it's a subgenre, so broad appeal isn't expected" and you could then argue about how movies without universal appeal should be reviewed, but jumping straight to "they don't like it cause damn blue state liberals" or somesuch seems like a stretch.

If these people create real music, "fake" seems like the wrong adjective. It's very common for musicians to be involved in a bunch of different bands, or even for the same group of people to release music under different band names, for when they want to experiment with stuff that isn't their normal band's "brand".

Oh that's just the suggestion I mentioned here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31009572 (I saw it on some internals.rust-lang.org thread), but with no new syntax. It also mirrors the usage of existing beyond-UB safety markers like UnwindSafe https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/panic/trait.UnwindSafe.html but with inverted polarity (instead of asserting something is safe, it asserts that the programmer acknowledges the new kind of unsafety)

I think an interesting part of unsafe Rust is the interplay between positive and negative polarities (unsafe/safe fn vs unsafe blocks basically) and I think that adding new syntax is the way to leverage this kind of idiom in the new kind of unsafe

May not be earlier but this memo about Flavors in Lisp Machine Lisp from 1980 uses the term Generic Operations:

As a longtime user of various pro apps in these categories - AE, Premiere, Final Cut, DVR, as well as ProTools, Digital Performer, Logic, etc, all of which share a lot of UX paradigms that make it relatively easy to switch between them, I find the type of simplification at work in iMovie and Garage Band makes them almost unrecognizable, stymieing my ability to use them at all almost every time I try.
I thought about including that , wanted to get some feedback on it to see if it’s worth the effort
No, almost certainly not - it's very heavily censored. So far I haven't seen anyone successfully generate anything you could call erotica. (One interesting consequence: the anime is not very good and it can be a struggle to generate anime at all https://www.reddit.com/r/AnimeResearch/comments/txvu3a/anime... )

If you mean just could such a model architecture be trained to generate furry erotica? Yes. Erotica, and furry art in general, in Tensorfork's experience, tends to be somewhat harder than regular images because of the more chaotic placement of everything such as limbs, but not that much harder. You might need half again as much compute to get equivalent quality results, perhaps, but probably not, like, 10 times as much.
