"Do not sympathize too much with jesus because you may turn to one of his followers"

I really hate this era of discourse. It's mostly dominated by emotionally-driven americans with juvenile opinions who take twitter and facebook too seriously. A dumbed down elite making dumb meta-arguments using the emotional drivels of the most vocal but equally dumb sample of humans as input data. Meanwhile, european intellectual social commentary has either completely stopped or is hidden deep inside academic meetings and is afraid to meet the public. The UK doesnt seem to have much to offer also, and the bleak russians seem to have decided on collective suicide.

What's left? I guess i will wait for GPT-41 to write an actual intellectully challenging novel
It's proven in the sense that there is freedom to choose to write a native desktop client, and yet nobody does it anymore, regardless of how widely adopted or important their app is to the business.

It's enough proof for me, at least.

Native apps continue to exist for areas where browser APIs aren't sufficient yet, that's true. But those will get replaced once a sufficient API supports it
Well, the main issue I see is where to put the n^2 memory (where n is the number of digits) when doing multiplication. (Or, doesn’t need n^2 space, could do it in less, but might need to put more structure into the architecture?)

If the weights are designed, and the network architecture allows something to hold the information needed, then there is really no obstacle to having it get multiplication entirely (not just 90%).

Now, would that be learnable? I’m not so sure, at least with the architecture one would use if designing the weights.

But,

I see no reason a transformer model couldn’t be trained on multiplication-with-work-shown and produce text fitting all of those patterns, and successfully perform multiplication for many digits that way.

And, by “showing all work” I don’t necessarily mean “in a way a person would typically show their work”, but in a easier-for-machine way.
> Right now, Russia is keeping it's line about "Ukraine is Russia" and with that, reasonable restraint towards civilians compared to Syria

I disagree with this. Mariupol, Kharkiv, etc. were bombed and shelled indiscriminately like Aleppo was.
I approach writing documents by being clear about the goal and message for my audience. My first step is to research the subject I'm writing about, so that I can be sure I'm prepared to convey the information clearly and concisely. Then I brainstorm different ways I can accomplish that goal based on my knowledge of my audience's expectations. Once I've settled on a way forward, I outline my thoughts and write a draft. As I work on the draft, I stay aware of the audience's needs and how best to meet them. Finally, after reviewing the document several times and getting feedback from others, if possible, I polish it up!
Project seems abandoned. No news on the site for over a year and no git tag releases for 11 months.

Likely better off with a more active project like kdenlive.
> I am not trying to sell you anything - I am telling you what I have done, and what I am doing, for controls systems on processing plants being put into service, today.

I am not trying to convince you or anything - I am telling you what I have done, and what I am doing and will be doing, according to the market of industrial automation, for the next two decades at least.

> Most recently a $2B+ processing plant that will supply a significant portion, maybe 20%, of the global requirements for a very high demand mineral product.

Most recently a €5B+ automation line on global scale that will supply a significant portion of I don't know how many percent of global molding machine equipment and operation ranging from spoons, medical equipment to car parts of basically every major vendor you can think of.

See, it's cool you use OPC UA on a infrastructure level. But on the field it's digital and analog IOs with Modbus and other archaic field buses. If you bought into the idea that every light, sensor and actuator having OPC UA wouldn't add costs in the billions for large installations, well, I have bad news for you ...
It's not like they are equivalent. I'd rather stop programming (or any kind of computer science related career) rather than take a job doing business Java or writing game logic in Lua or C#.
Sure, but it would never do something actually bad, like raising the possibility that sexual harassment might, sometimes, be an issue, or questioning the value of phrenology.

So for sanity, when they sell 'baking tray paper' I see in the composition that it is silicone coated. Is that baking paper PFAS/PFOAS contaminated at all?

If not, then why on earth would you not just coat all paper with silicone for waterproofing, it cannot be more expensive that PFAS based waterproofing, right?
React Native On-Device Machine Learning with Google ML Kit
Author here. I have very, very similar childhood memories of PHP. It really was a magic thing to mess around with - I think a lot of people had this experience. I suspect back then a lot of people learnt webdev this way. Sadly I suspect it's less common now.

Back then the "LAMP" stack was common enough that there were turnkey packages for Windows that setup "LAMP" for you. Was one called Wampp, or something? I forget. At first I liked using a particular proprietary web server for Windows called 'Sambar Server' which made learning easy due to its PHP support and web GUI config editor. Later setting up Apache, PHP and MySQL on a new Windows install became a common habit for me, once I learnt how to do it. I would make PHP websites and host them locally, then show them to people by giving them the IP (and this was over dialup!)
Go figure (8)!
I'm not going to link it, because they're probably catching some significant heat already, but there's speculation it was one of Sotomayor's clerks. Scroll twitter for a bit if you're inclined and you'll find it.
And garbage collected languages are slower than managed ones. Should we avoid garbage collected languages for all software then?

It's just demonstrates a very poor grasp of what actually matters in the world. And the performance gap is greatly exaggerated.

Most people would agree VS Code is very snappy, and it's written in JS and browser based. There's no inherent reason they have to be slow. And we don't double the RAM in computers every few years to leave it unused
Please reread both my comment and your comment. Do you not see how misleading your reply is? You completely left out a portion of my original quote so you could argue against a straw man.

I didn't say "the US will lose a basic right...".

I said "millions of people in the US will lose a basic right...".

No one thinks this will result in a federal abortion ban, but over a dozen states will immediately ban abortion upon the overturning of Roe v Wade. Those states contain millions of people who will lose the right to an abortion.

there is so much can go wrong that this unlikely to be as simple as running a bash script.

There's lots of ways that licenses can be objectively wrong. They can contain content that renders them invalid, or wording that legally means something different from what the author intended. A lawyer has the "right" to point out such flaws, and refusing to consult a lawyer won't make those flaws go away.

You are of course right about copyright holders being able to chose whether to enforce their license (at least if they were smart enough to use a license that will actually stand up in court!)
>how can a broker promise that the collateral is good, but not the initial funds for the purchase? [1]

1. the collateral is good because it's transferred/wired on the day of purchase.

2. as mentioned in my previous comment, that could theoretically be done today (ie. "trust me, I can definitely come up with the money on the day of settlement"), but it's not done for various reasons.

>And for that matter, how can bankruptcy even matter? These are all funds that live in a separate bucket from the rest of operations. Even in a bankruptcy, they wouldn’t disappear (like your coat at a dry cleaner’s.

but in the scenario mentioned above, how are you going to recover the funds? specifically, from where are you going to get the money to make the seller whole?
> I want something more rigorous, perhaps with game theory and models.

I haven't read any of those. The thing is, those are great for longer term negotiations, but not for short term day to day ones - you don't have the luxury of evaluating things from a game theory/model perspective. Even Getting To Yes is a bit poor in that regard.
I partly agree, but I disagree at the point that there may be no correlation between the amount of non-native apps and the overall "happiness" of users.

Just because business see that it's cheaper does not make it the better option.
What improvement would an adult with ADD (without H) have without being diagnosed and without having access to a treatment ? I may or may not have ADD but diagnosing adults in my country is extremely uncommon, and anyway the symptoms I have can be indicative of many other mental troubles, so I'm interested in not-medical ways to cope
The non-standard and objectively poor positioning of the buttons is fascinating. What was the logic behind this?

It seems to me that designers are much less likely to give their time for free to a software project than programmers. Is that why OSS suffers from problems like this? A junior UI designer would never make these kinds of decisions.

I can understand why designers wouldn’t work for free. What I don’t understand is why an average coder couldn’t do some basic googling and learn the fundamentals. You can get a long way by imitating commercial work and following standard conventions. So is it lack of skill, or some sort of mistaken belief that the conventions established by the experts are wrong?

I’m wondering here if the idea is to imitate a forward/back step from a wizard (albeit with the buttons in the “wrong” vertical position) Not a paradigm appropriate for repeated everyday interactions, mainly because wizards are not designed for efficiency.
Solar/wind/storage is always a better option as long as the storage solution isn't replaced by burn fossil fuel, which like the tarsand oil detail, is the kind of detail that sadly pop up in practically all places where the solar/wind/storage solution is being promoted. The fossil fuel need to stay in the ground.

I am fairly enthusiastic about both renewables and nuclear, but I am a bit pessimistic about storage. The holy grail would be green hydrogen as storage, and that has been the political aiming for in the last 10 years. However in the mean time, everyone just got to rely on that Russian gas and oil. Solar/wind/fossil fuel is the current model and I just can't get enthusiastic about that.
The only source for that seems to be a retracted claim of the official Swedish Twitter account.

Don't forget that it must also generate, at some point regardless of the topic, a new terminal emulator, and an extremely positive or extremely negative opinion about how blockchain can solve a problem.
Seems like a bad idea for anything other than a bit of testing. Back in university a gang of us played all the time and many of us were the prototypical nerds and somewhere on the socially awkward spectrum. But role playing gave us social interaction practice because we did it together. We knew one guy who was so introverted that he would sit in his room and run a dungeon by himself. He did not do that because he was shunned by others it was because he preferred to not interact with anyone else. It just reinforced unhealthy habits for him.
In our society we need more person on person interaction, not less. Spending scores of hours running yourself through a dungeon seems unhelpful for the most part.
this gotta be a bot, right?

> if you write all of your pages in HTML, then they're going to stay HTML unless you invest the effort in writing a parser+translator that converts all of your content into Markdown or Wikitext

That can be a problem the other way around as well. I wanted to convert a Mediawiki-based site to static HTML pages, but ultimately gave up and instead updated to a recent version of Mediawiki, because I couldn't find a solution which would've kept all existing URLs working.
> I don't understand this ad hominem. Why should the policeman not be allowed to enjoy his retirement.

I think the issue is the contrast between having ruined someone’s life and the “fuck off and let me enjoy myself” reply. And the utter lack of empathy this betrays. A simple acknowledgment and possibly an apology for having caused so much hurt would have gone a long way.
Pitivi is so unstable that Windows ME is jealous.
It's also a matter of priorities. India has(had) significant amounts of people living in pretty bad conditions ( like poor quality housing with no running water).

Which do you prioritise, lifting people out of poverty/squalid living conditions, research, industrial expansion, power projection (aircraft carriers so that India can protect it's interests, live up to it's potential, counter Chinese expansion), etc. ? There's a decent argument to be made that just encouraging and investing in industry and research will increase incomes and improve living conditions but it's unlikely to be sufficient.
can't agree about xiv-- i've never been an mmo guy, but have absolutely loved playing xiv. the story, esp. w/ Endwalker (the newest expansion) is fantastic. but to each, his or her own, i suppose. :)
Since “everyone” would include governments and industry as well, their restriction is guaranteed to not contain more bad actors than no restriction.

If developers can't be arsed to mention on front page what platforms their product supports then I don't think they really know what "intuitive" means. They might be cool guys and nice people and all but interacting with users is not their strength.
It's not blowing up though, it's experiencing natural turbulence and you're so afraid of getting jostled a bit you demand the plane be tethered to the ground and never exceed 10mph. How to fly under these conditions is left as an exercise for the reader.
The issue is that crypto is still not generally accepted as a payment, plus crypto is already riddled with fees at almost every step, and the smaller the amount the less feasible it is to send.
Ask HN: What do you think about the future of Bored Ape?
On Saturday, Yuga Labs and the Bored Ape Yacht Club had a metaverse land sale. They sold $300M+ worth of land during their drop.

The craziest part was 55.6k ETH (~$150M) of ETH was burned because of transaction fees.
At its peak, ETH gas costs hit 2ETH ($6,000), which is what the french call le ridiculous.
Every single time a transaction happens on the Ethereum network there is a fee, some of it gets “burned” and taken out of the total supply of ETH. On a normal day, we burn ~$30M of supply. But for this drop, 5x that got burned.

They are trying to quadruple dip:
Dip 1: Sell an NFT (Bored Apes)
Dip 2: Create a coin (Apecoin)
Dip 3: Sell virtual land for a metaverse that doesn’t exist yet
Dip 4: Okay, you’ve run out of tokens to launch. So now launch your own blockchain

They have raised the stakes. Now, this can only go 2 ways:
This becomes a generational company…they end up creating some mix between Pokemon and Fortnite
Or (more likely) the whole Bored Apes craze comes crashing down in a few years and we look back at this moment as the peak of NFT project greed
Of course! But I felt the argument was mostly about mammals (how it's different to talk about predators meat and mans meat eating habits). Pointing out the scale of biomass is of course relevant to this discussion - there is so much of it, it's quite uninnovative humans should fixate on only few species.
I don’t use straws every day but I like them. They’re not a necessity by any means. No more than this web site, or computers, or reading novels are… But if you have very cool beverage with floating ice, it’s nice not too fight against the ice on your teeth.

We’re in the middle of a climate crisis and the war on plastic straws is emblematic of everything that’s wrong about our policies. We’re looking way to hard at something totally inconsequential.
nice. which country? and are there non crypto base remittancecs that do it instant transfers?
Amazfit Bip lasts 4-6 weeks on single charge with always on transreflective display with readability improving with more sunlight (opposite of useless OLED power hungry displays) and I use it exactly just to check time and read notifications, I also use it to track my sleep, step counts and heart rate, plus one of the most used features in my night apartment is using display backlight (necessary only in dark) as flashlight

it's also very small, light and thin, pretty much impossible to find such compact watch since I don't want to carry bulky brick on my wrist (so no thanks expensive Garmin bricks with shorter battery life)

I'm now on my 2nd one, first I had brand new, it fell apart just before end of 2y warranty (basically the body inserted in frame without gluing, it felt outside, I could put it back and connect, just display colors were reversed but since it was in warranty I just used warranty to get money back, they improved gluing with newer versions), then went for OLED watch and gave up after maybe half year, gave new OLED watch which need to be charged at least twice a week to wife, it has unreadable AOD in sunlight (beause you need full brightness in sunlight or very least B&W AOD display instead other useless color combinations) and just bought second hand Bip for 20USD and I couldn't be happier, I'm thinking I could stock few of them into drawer in case something will happen to this one

plus for people with too much spare time Bip firmware is somewhat hackable with extended functionality

> I still don't understand what the point is of having a staging area.

Nor do my coworkers who keep committing whitespace changes and machine-specific configuration changes unrelated to the tasks at hand.

For a more serious answer: I find it extremely useful to be able to control what goes exactly into each commit. Sometimes I refactor more than one part of the code at the same time. If one part passes tests and another one doesn't, I can commit just the one that does. If I spot an issue in one part of the codebase and I add a TODO or FIXME in a comment, or if add some logging, or some other inconsequential change, I can leave them in the working copy for later while still adding "atomic" changes to the repo.

But by far the most use I get out of it is as a last chance of reviewing the code I just wrote, or as a way of checking the results of an automatic merge before the actual merged commit gets written.
Perhaps try picking a simpler SSG like Pollen or Pelican? I've been fairly happy with the latter.
Probably because xiv isn't really a mmo but single player theme park, with some multiplayer features.
Something like boiled linseed oil will cure solid enough to stay in the paper, though I expect the required curing times on that is prohibitive.
I'd guess they want to limit traffic. Once Huggingface links to you, your bandwidth bill 100x-es.
There's also some subconscious effect - you rarely remember when queues are fair to you, but you always remember when you get 'queue-screwed'.
I've got Huawei Watch GT2 and it feels like I recharge it once a month. I was honestly quite positively surprised by it, having expected having to recharge every 2-3 days.
My only question about nuclear is why is it okay to bury the nuclear waste?

I can understand that it might be fine to bury small amounts in specific stores but if countries slowly adopt nuclear energy at scale then over time won’t we be burying a lot of waste that, correct me if I’m wrong, has to be stored for thousands of years? I don’t understand how this can be sustainable long term. I also think it’s maybe arrogant of us to assume that it will always be safe to just store it and that something won’t happen that could disrupt that.

I’m no expert on this though so if someone has a great explanation I’d love to understand it.
Invariants are among the most powerful ways to manage complexity, although of course not the only ones.

You still don’t know what Orwell tried to convey to his readers… next time get the hard cover and read the intro and stop trying to convey that you are an expert on everything makes you look like a fool… in all your comments.
A more interesting question for me is: has this been tried before? In Java? And why did it fail?
Sure. Do you not understand how Federalism works? Voters in some states prefer more restrictive abortion laws. I'm still not following your argument. Is it that, according to you, "millions of people who want abortions" will not be able to get them because some states that are full of people (also millions, ostensibly) who want more restrictive abortion laws are now able to enact them?

Because if that's your argument it sort of gives away the game about the robustness of the Roe/Casey decision(s) in the first place.
